PNo. 39: Birthday Eve?

so... day before my birthday
i wish i knew what they are pooling their money for
hm.
i want new elixirs for my acoustic and jazz reeds...
why they gotta make it so expensive? D:

spanish project was alright..

can't get myself to do hw >.<

PNo. 38: A little something for myself

heh.. i went to sam ash and bought a rovner afterschool today (:
sounds sooo nice. better than the crap ligature that yamaha gave me .-. but the sax is really nice :P
^okay i'll stop babbling about saxophones now. but does that mean I got a birthday present for myself? O.o

The guy was sorta weird and gave me some other case to go with it... and the old man before me was buying like a whole mess of stuff.. 203973097 packs of reeds.. and i thought they were there just for show and then the worker dude's just "oh.. he's buying those"

rest of the day was sorta bleh..
stupid chinese hw.. what a nice way to start my weekend.. WITH A FINAL! yayyy -.-xx
i guess i'm just making this blog post super long cuz i'm procrastinating to do my chinese homework.. which i probably shouldn't do cuz i have to leave for costa mesa at 5... some really good speaker dude or something. Well.. i'm determined to get better at sax.. must beat the famous Abelson ;).. don't think i can though >.<

my week was very blah.. so i'm not gonna think about it >.<
it's behind me now! (:

i shouldn't have went yesterday.
that would've been the easiest way to avoid all of this hurt.
thanks a lot shivvy.

PNo. 36: Happy New Year!

PNo. 35: Long time no post..

someone needs to invent a huge fan and give it to me so i can use it to blow away the next storm that comes near me. (:
I'm leaving for San Francisco tomorrow.. so i don't think i can really post.. since there probably won't be any internet there >.<
stupid stingy hotels that make us pay..

trying to clean up my disk space on my computer today.. it's a huge mess. I sorta bombed my Spanish test.. hopefully a A- cuz I did pretty good in culture this time :D Life could be a lot better.. but it's manageable right now

more later.. maybe.

PNo. 31: Thank you Renz

this is a shout out to Renz.

I wanted to say thank you again... for your efforts in Operation Gamjaft.  I know that i already vetoed it because my mom didn't want me to go. *  But like i've said before.. it was a big deal to me.. that someone would actually go around and try to start it, instead of just going along with the bunch of talk that i keep hearing.  So. thank you for your attempt. it's greatly appreciated.. even though i said no... sorry guys.. those that wanted to see me at formal.

*For those who do not know what Operation Gamjaft was:

Operation Gamjaft was a campaign started by a couple of people... (i think isabel, paley, and renz?)  It's orginal initials was G.M.A.J.A.F.T but that wasn't pronounce-able so they changed it to Gamjaft.  Now, for the acronym.  Get Michele And Julian A(?) Formal Ticket.  not sure what the 2nd A stand for.. but the meaning is there.  took me a couple of days to figure out what it actually stood for... (cuz they wouldn't tell me)  Then when I found out, I asked Renz about it.. and he said that he was honestly gonna do it.. and asked me how much formal tickets were.  Yea... they're 90$ presale (i don't have a ASB card).  Then he asked me if i actually wanted to go.  Well.. I thought about it.. for a long time.  At first, I told him yes.. if we could actually get enough money scraped together.  Then I thought about it again.. and then I realized how likely it was that we actually would get the money (which was really likely... I think.. people wanted to see me at formal with michele?)  But then... i thought again... and it was sort of rushed.. being that i had not been planning to go to formal at all.. and then. My mom doesn't even want me to go to any dances this year.. so i figured i should respect her cuz of all that she's done for me already.  (a lot...)**

so yea.. 

Thank You again Renz.

(sorry that my explanation of GAMJAFT was longer than your Thank You)

**btw mom.. I was originally gonna see what would happen if we collected all of the money and then ask you if i could go to formal.

PNo.30: Tuesday..

somehow.. i just don't feel like posting / blogging anymore.

maybe i'll end up going on a hiatus again.

PNo.29: Sundayy!!

wow.

been a while since i posted :P (or maybe not)

hmm. 

Frost crawled slowly along the edges of the window as snowflakes drifted down onto the snow-laden ground outside.  Swaths of blankets surrounded me, causing warm drafts of air to surround my skin.  I curl my fingers around my mug of hot chocolate.  Amidst the sea of brown drink, islands of pale marshmallow begin to melt slowly, creating white swirls in the deep cocoa beverage.  Placing the lip of the cup against my frozen ones, I take a sip and let the coziness run down my throat and flow through my body.  

            On the side stood a Christmas tree.  It was wrapped with all of its ornaments and decorations that glistened as the candlelight and illuminated the room with a soft glow.  Below the magnificent green giant sat a multitude presents, each one in its entirety- carefully wrapped complimented by a neatly tied bow with its ribbons dangling down. 

            A radio played Christmas music off to the side.  The sound of bells jingling and voices singing my favorite tunes floated into my ear.  Accompanying the notes was the sweet scent of baked cookies that still hung in the air, some sitting on a plate and yet to be eaten.  The fire cackled as it burned its fueling wood to ashes.  Above the fire hung hand-sewn stockings, empty.  But I know that the spaces were just waiting to be filled. 

            The night continued to pass on as drowsiness snuck up behind me and caught me in its trap.  I began to drift off into a dream of a vast winter wonderland and workshop of toys.  I could’ve sworn I heard a jingle of bells on the roof right before I slipped into a slumber.

Can i have that (plus a little more) for Christmas? <3 

too bad I'm not even gonna be home on the 25th...

oh wells. Saturday was fun! (: 

today wasn't too bad either.  I got to talk to PSY today! :P

 

PNo.29: Day after Thanksgiving.

A story i heard today:

Once upon a time... a girl liked a boy, but also secretly liked another.  The 2nd boy and the girl were friends and he was trying to guess her crush.  The girl decides to tease him by making her clues match up to him too.  

the boy didn't realize it at all

and he just let it go.  But it's okay...cuz the girl waited for him... Well... eventually she got impatient and just told him.. but still she waited till he gave her an answer to that too. 

<3

what a cute story ^.^

PNo.25: Weekly write #10

I changed this from my weekly write.  

Dear God,

They say, God, that you can do anything.  I’ve heard about the stories of your miracles.  My mom told me that you could do anything.  Well.  For Christmas, I just want to ask you for one thing.  Santa, can you make this work?  They told me that I don't have much of a chance so I was just wondering, if you could just grant my wish a little earlier?

With love and care, 

Julian Yang

here's the original:

Dear Santa,

            How are you this year?  Are you busy now that Christmas is just around the corner?  I can’t wait ‘til Christmas!  The city workers already put out the Christmas lights on the lampposts and Thanksgiving hasn’t even past yet!  Wow, this is making me even more anxious for that special time to come again.  There’s only a month left, can you believe it?  All this love and giving gifts…  Which brings me to the topic of what I would like for Christmas.  Before you put me on the naughty children list, I really want to apologize.  I’m sorry for being a bad boy, but I just can’t help it.  Susie’s pigtails were just begging me to pull them.  They were just asking for a little pull.  And what could I do?  I had to satisfy those two strands of braided hair.  I’m really sorry about that hair-pulling incident.  Well, anyways, just please don’t put me on the naughty boys list.  I really am trying my best to be on my best behavior.  For your information, it’s very hard for a little boy like me to resist all of those temptations.  That hair-pulling thing wasn’t even that bad… I think you get the point, right Santa? 

They say, Santa, that you can do anything.  I’ve heard about the stories of your magical factory.  My mom told me that you could make anything.  Well.  For Christmas, I just want to ask you for one thing.  Santa, can you give my mom a new heart?  The doctors told me that she doesn’t have much time left the way things are going so I was just wondering, if you could just deliver my present a little earlier.  I really love my mom and I don’t want to see her leave. 

With love and care,

Johnny
