Late Post: December 12th

The following post was written on my dad's laptop up in Julian, CA. Details later maybe?

I just felt the need type something. The thing I hate about coming up here during winter is that it's too cold and too much of a hassle to actually go out and walk someplace. It takes too much effort to dress up appropriately, make sure you're warm, and have the right shoes. If I'm already wearing the right clothes, then maybe I could go. I still might need to ask my parents.

Sitting up here on the second floor is really interesting, compared to the lower floor. For instance, you're closer to the ceiling and right now as I'm typing this, I can hear the pitter-patters of the raindrops above me. It actually got so severe last night, I though I heard thunder. Another reason is the height limitation. The roof is just about 5 feet up from the floor, so we all have to stoop down. A bit of a bother really, but I don't mind that much. I'm still not that tall.

Speaking of height, I noticed recently that when at school, I'm now considered as part of the shorter sophomores. It's a bit annoying, but it can't be helped. I am only 14 after all. Everyone else in my grade is way older than that. I had two classmates turn 16 this week. So they can drive now, so what? I'm pretty sure being young has it's perks too. I'd write some down, but I can't think of any. Crap.

I think I've simply run out of things to say. Anything else I'd like to spill would be very personal, and we can't have that now can we? Who knows who would read this? Secrets aren't secrets if everyone knows them. It's intriguing to have a secret about someone, though. Especially if you see that person every day, [post ends here]

Hello Again

I am currently making a mix CD for the hell of it. Just though I'd let you know.

It's been summer vacation for awhile now. It's been good, but I've had those boring, hard-to-live-through spots. Anyways, on to recent events. A couple weeks ago, I went up to Escondido, to my aunt's house for a big cousin get-together/sleepover. It was fun, but I found out I had a stye in my right eye. :P We went up to a resort that we always go to and we took a dive in the pool. But we had to go to a smaller, not as fun pool because my cousin's membership wasn't high enough. :P One of the highlights of the day was when we left our cousin at 7-11. xD Details after the jump.

So we left my Auntie Dina's house and made a stop at Kathy's house for a sec. Then, what had happened was, we stopped by a local 7-11 to buy some stuff. We went in two vehicles: me, my mom, Julian (my brother), Kevin, and Kathy (both cousins) in my mom's car. The other car had Uncle Romy, Uncle Mon, Auntie Daisy, Christine, Sean, Michelle, and Ervin (all cousins). Me and Kathy got off and bought some Arizona (tea). My mom and brother got off too to get some snacks. While we were at the drinks and looking over them, Sean came over and passed up. We said hi, and he said hi. We got our drinks, paid, and left, thinking nothing about Sean. So we left unknowingly leaving Sean behind. We drove off for about 10 minutes, it seemed like before Kevin got a call from Sean. After Kevin told us that they left Sean, we started laughing hysterically, even though we knew it was kinda bad. But he was a big guy! I don't know how they could've not noticed him not in the car! So we all spent 5 minutes trying to call anyone in the other car, but no one would pick up. Eventually one of them got the news, and we drove on. We reached the resort and we caught up with the other car. They turned around, while we went up to the good pool. But we ended up going to a sucky pool. After some swimming, me, Kathy, Michelle, and Kevin walked a loooong way to go get tennis rackets. Kevin wanted to go get fishing rods because wouldn't have to walk farther, but there were no more rods left when we got there. So tennis courts and mini work out. Louis (Kathy's brother) and some of his friends came over and we all just played whatever. Then volleyball, and then we got home. I was texting Kathy's ex ever since after volleyball.

We set up tents in the backyard and we slept in them. I went to sleep at maybe 2-ish cuz I was talking to Kathy an Michelle. Kevin slept in the same tent as us, too. It got hot all of a sudden, and we all woke up. It was the next day, and my stye got worse, making my eyelid all icky-looking and puffy. Some of us went to church, while me, my mom, and Julian ended up going home. :p But we got some more Arizona on the way back! :D

All for now.

Anyways,...

So, for my memorial day weekend, I went up to Julian to go camping. Or rather, stay at an RV Resort. Now don't get me wrong, I love that place. In fact, I wish I was there right now. The atmosphere is just great, especially when you can talk with other people your age. Let me start from the beginning.

We left home about 15 minutes after my mom came home with my cousin. He came along too. Anyways, we left, and after some time of driving, we got at the ranch at around 10-ish. We checked in, and "moved" in to the trailer. We had a snack, and went to bed at midnight.

The next day, we just kinda got the feel of things. I walked around, saw a couple people. I wrote in my journal a bit, and read back at what I wrote, so long ago. I went swimming with my brother and cousin after lunch for an hour or two. I dried off, grabbed my DSi and went into the clubhouse for the Wi-Fi. I sat on the sofa, and soon after, another dude, about my age, came in and sat at the other sofa. We didn't say anything, just minding our business. Then other people came in. Turns out there was a Lakers game going on. So I decided I would watch it. The dude, left for 15 mins, grabbing something to eat, at which even more people started coming in. Then he came back and sat on the same sofa as me. We were all watching the game, and another dude, that seemed a few years older than me came in. Other people in the room included, a few Denver fans, one of which was very expressive, some middle-aged ladies, and some dads and young sons. Anyways, I was really into it, and I wanted the Lakers to win. So whenever the Nuggets shot I would always be like "miss!" under my breath. I guess the dude heard me and was smiling, when he was looking at me. x] Anyways, the dude got up and left, and my dad came in and sat next to me. I think he was for the Nuggets :p I left, took a shower and had dinner. Walked around a bit, hung around the playground, then went back in. I came in at the end of the 3rd quarter I think. I had to sit on the floor next to one of the ladies from earlier. I was muttering again, 'cept I was saying "shoot" or "hit," and the lady next to me smiled. So Lakers won. It was kind of like a weak "yay!" When they won. It was much more active when the Lakers actually scored. x] The room was full of "yes!" and clapping and arm thrusts. It was fun. I headed back to the cabin for a small break, then went out for more walking. We (me, my bro, and my cousin) walked places. First to the basketball courts for this astronomy thing. Then more places. Passed by a Shrek screening a couple times. Then back to the trailer and bed.

I think I bored you enough with all those details. I'll post about the next day later. All for now.

Festival del Sol and the Mall

So this post is two days late. I was tired, okay? OK, OK, its more than a couple days late. So sue me for enjoying my break.

Anyways, we still had to build some of our roller coaster the day of the Festival, but we had like 4 hours, and we kinda finished. When we were presenting, the ball derailed when it started at the top of the hill, so we had to start from halfway down the hill. Then there was that drop before the loop, which we had to hold down because we forgot to attach it into our base. :p But it was cool, since I had like one other person there with me. :D (Thanks Yaz!)

Then there was the back stage where we had to inform people about the physics, marketing, and the process of this whole project. The only people I ever talked to were my parents, and some other people. Our tent was homely. :/ But that's because we couldn't make out banners since it was low-priority after all. Our commercial was icky after all, you couldn't hear much.

Then I had to stand in front of my graphic design piece and explain to people what it was about. I found out later that my dad took a picture of the other classes' collage but not ours. blehh... :p

Then my free shift. I waled around and saw some of the stuff the sophomores did, and what all the screaming was about. It was pretty cool. One class was doing some sort of poetry cafe. And one particular was going to be there. I wanted to watch, but I just moved on. I did my audience assessment, since my mom went to go get dinner during my GD shift. I hung out with some of my friends, then clean up.

Oh, gee. Bringing in all those tables and chairs. And cleaning up too. We still had to do some the next day too! Anyways, on Friday, I went to the mall after school. Here's how it went down.

Anja couldn't make it since it was too short notice for her mom to let her go. So it was just me and Denise. Michael went off to wait for us at Panda. Me and Denise walked over to Lhyka's house to get picked up by Denise's mom, so that Denise could drop off some of her stuff. Her mom's nice. She entrusted me, the youngest one, to keep Lhyka and Denise safe. lol. We met up with Michael then went to B&N, I think. It's been a few days, so I don't remember. We spent awhile in there, then I ran into Mikey. He joined our party, and we started walking around. I remember hitting Gepettos, and getting denied access to the chalk in the food court. We played a cat-and-mouse game with Mikey when we went into Macy's. He had my phone, so we decided to prank call him. We went up and down the elevator/escalators. We met up outside, then walked to Best Buy. I played a round of Mario Kart, then Rock Band 2. Then some more walking. We added another person to our party, a guy from Michael's and Mikey's class. We hit B&N, and me and the guys hit the relationship section. IDK why, but it was half-fun, half-weird. I started reading the first Haruhi novel, and I almost bought it too! But, I decided not to. Then I went home eventually. Michael's dad took me home. He's kinda hyper, but he's really cool. All for now.

Just a dew more days left...

Last Monday was an off day for me. Both "off" as in "no school" and "not right day." Lemme explain.

You know how we got a new Mac mini right? Well, I'm only allowed to use it for 3 hours. Add along no games to play, and almost NOTHING to do, it was pretty boring. Not to mention I'm already behind one and maybe another reading journal. Anyways, my time had come, as do all time limits within all bounds of humanity. The usual gray box popped up, showing me how much time I had left, and the option to give me more time. Well, in order to add more time, I needed an admin's (dad's) password. And I had it. So I took the chance. Couple hours later, I get busted, and yelled disappointment after another, I get banned off the computer for a week. There you have it. I wish I could talk about last night since it was the bomb, but I might not have enough time here. maybe some other time. Here being the Apple Store in the mall near my school.

So, after all that, I have a present for you. Click for more...

I tried my hand at a cover of a song. I think it turned out okay. Listen to it...

Grades came today...

Today was a fairly good day. School was the usual mix of frustration and boredom caused by our classes, while my friends kept me preoccupied with other things. x] Today in Philosophies, we discussed about being ourselves, in a way. First we made a spider chart thing, where we put down our most important traits. Then watched a thought experiment. It went kinda like this: What would happen if an exact same clone was made of you, with the exact same atoms. Which one would you wake up as, the original or the copy? And what would you choose? Your favorite thing shown before you were copied? Or a new item shown to "you" went you awoke? It was a bit confusing, but it was enjoyable nevertheless.

I came home today. Well, obviously. xp Nothing special really happened. I'm playing Ocarina of Time right now, and I'm stuck under the well. Not stuck, stuck, but not knowing what to do stuck. But I've been reading about THE iDOLM@STER gameplay in an English guide. :O Seems interesting. I want the game to America more than ever now. Anyways, I was watering the plants today, when one of the plants got caught on my pants, but I didn't notice. I kept walking and it got knocked over. What's worse, my dad just came from picking up my brother. He didn't mind, but he did ask why I was using my mom's earphones, instead of mine. Seemed like he cared about that more :/ He complained about how the earbuds he bought me last summer were too new. Pfft. And so my grades came today. At first, I thought they weren't the straight A's I usually got. And to add to that worry, my dad teased me about getting a C on my report card. I checked, and everything was fine though. x]

Once in awhile...

...I'm going to stop posting up blogs, then unexpectedly post one of these up to notify you, my readers, that I, in fact, am not dead. And then ramble on about what has happend over the past few days, then come in the small trickle of posts. Wait a few weeks, then it repeats. You might be getting tired of this, but I have no choice. My life, especially my school life, has got me too worked up to barely even post up a reading journal. I know you guys probably don't like them, but I also havet odo them for, you guessed it, school. It's been running my life more and more, and eventually, I won't be able to post up any more entries. Sad faceeeeee. ): But, I promise, I will try my best to find some time in my busy life to pop in and tell you guys what's going on in my life. ;)

So anyways, the day before I left Palm Springs, we went up a mountain on a tramcar, which was super uber wicked fun! There were five towers and everytime we would pass one, the car would sway and every one would go "Wooooooahhhh!" I have a vid of the ride up and some of the ride down since my camera ate my batteries. I'll put it up on YouTube, hopefully, soon I guess. We had to wait an hour for our tramcar though, there were so many people. And couple of them were pretty cute too. x]

When we got up top, we walked down a wide winding path, which was covered in snow and ice! But my snow gear kinda looked dorky :p They were my dad's, as always, but I had a good time. But we kept taking pictures on the way down, which took forever. But we eventually got down to the ground, and then it was play time! My aim is pretty bad...^.^;; I made a wall, but it kinda died. I kicked some chunks of ice that my dad got pics of, but the camera was slow so it only took like a few pics. We then played a bit more then came down.

And for today, we were supposed to have advisory olympics today, but our school couldn't rent the nearby park for today so we just had an ice cream social where me and my friend were gazing at someone. x] Which reminds me, that same friend got a Wreck This Journal like mine, from my other friend and there was this one page where we had to lost it. Well, my other friend took it and gave it to that someone. She was totally red, but it was hilarious. I was kinda jealous, how come I don't have confidence like that? >.< I sent that person a message awhile ago, but they still haven't replied yet. -_- I thought they did though, but it was just my other friend. :p All for now.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Hello people of the internetz! Because this font looks appealing to me currently, I have decided to keep it. (:

Anyways, happy Thanksgiving everyone, hope you fill yourself to the brim with turkey and stuffing ;) I am currently at my auntie's house in Escondido right now, and my ither cousins just go here. There's an annoying beep going off in the kitchen, but I'm sure it's not the turkey (: Or maybe it is? idk. XD I will be sleeping over here the night, along with my brother and one of my cousins, if not all of them. I'm still kind of sick, not as stuffy a nose and slight coughs. I sleep better at night. But it's been raining a lot lately, which equals the cold in early morning, which kind of brings me back to earth, just barely. Don't get me wrong, I love the rain, and in fact it was rainging on the way here. But then of course there was a 3-car accident that clogged up the freeway, and held us up about 15 minutes, but whatever. Sadly, my parents are working today, but I'm happy and thankful that at least I have my cousins and brother. x]

Last night, I downloaded the Super Mario Galaxy OST, and I like it. The tracks range from half a minute to about 4 minutes. I downloaded the Platinum Version, which has all 82 tracks from the game on 2 CDs. I've been listening to it all since last night, and I barely reached the half-point song, without skipping any songs. There are a couple that I listened to again, only for the pure enjoyment of the track. (LMAO< my brother sounds tone deaf, trying to sing Dirty Little Secret x], he's playing Rock Band with some of my cousins upstairs, sorry. /random tangent) I like the music which makes me want Super Mario Galaxy even more, even though I borrowed it from my friend andfinished it. x] Still haven't found out the red star's secret or finished all the Purple Comets. Maybe I'll add that to my ever growing wish list :D

Happy Thanksgiving, have a good turkey day, where ever you are :)

Hello PPL!

This post was written in an Apple Store near school :) Which is awesome because it's on a super huge screen where people might be able to read what I'm writing x] I'm wickd tired right now because we had to walk here with all my stuff. Which will be my lame excuse for any spelling errors in the following post. Ugh... :imd:

I've been meaning to write one of those personal, whats-going-on-with-my-life posts. And here it is.

Earlier this week, I had SLCs, which is like open house night where we show what's going on in our classes. It was okay. My dad kept complaining about my handwriting and writing over my stuff, but w/e. ^^;;

Then there was election day. I was really indifferent, but I was kind of leaning towards McCain, only because my parents were rooting for him. But I'm just as happy that Obama won. It was cool. It's too bad that I don't get to go to his inaguration since I've already been in DC this year. So yeah, it's cool.

I have a 4-day weekend coming up, perfect for procrastinating, being lazy, and sleeping in (: I have lots of homeworks, another surge due to projects. Heehee.

Oh by the way, I'm an Ouran Host Club manga fan now. (: I saw the anime and I liked it, but I felt it was lacking. Then my friend lent me the manga. I finished volumes 1-10 in about 5 days. I liked it that much. Kyoya and Tamaki are totally GAR for each other x] Anyways, I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to read the other ones. 11's out, but 12 and 13 aren't translated yet. I could check onemanga.com, or .net whichever it is, but it's better to read it in a manga volume. I'm actually reading legal for once ^^

And so ends my life update, will probably not post again unless for school soon. Looking forward to the next time you read this.

EDIT [@ home]: The boba at Toll house sucks. The mango smoothie boba I got didn't even taste like mango. And my friend's green apple had a coffee taste to it. The boba was all hard in teh middle too. Waste of $6 T-T

Homework

Here is something that really isn't like our school. Vocabulary. Funny word ain't it. But here's something that is. Homework on our blog. And so, I will post 3 pictures about 3 words from our vocabulary from the play "Our Town" by Thorton Wilder.

Number 1: epitaph
"An inscription of a dead person (usually on tombstones)"









Number 2: muse
"To ponder"








Number 3: languid
"Slow, sluggish, listless, or weak"














I hope you've enjoyed this presentation of three word.

In other news, I received my cousin's iPod today!!! Yay!!! THANK YOU NATE!!! I'm installing iTunes right now, but since I have my computer regional settings on Japanese, it's all in guess what...Japanese. But, I could understand the katakana, and there wasn't a lot of Kanji (the ToA I didn't even look through) so everything was alright. Yay! THANKS AGAIN NATE!

In Other News...

Today, I had a piano recital. We were late, though, and my brother didn't get to play Star Spangled Banner as planned. The place was SD Piano Hall or something that sounds like it. We proformed in a smallish room, and mostly the preformers' families were in the audience. I was really nervous when I went up, I almost forgot the names of the pieces I was gonna play when I was introducing myself to the crowd, but overall I did good. Then we had "snakes" afterwards everyone finished. We even got certificates! x] (BTW, in the invitaion/info paper, it said "Snakes will be served afterwards." An obvious typo). The pieces I played were Czerny # 27, 28, Moonlight Sonata, Pink Panther, and Soshite Itsumo no Fuukei (which I mildy screwed up on).

それじゃ，またね！

Unintentional Hiatus Broken!

Yay! My internet's working again! There was a trojan proxy thing that was making it bug out and I was getting pissed. But now it's okay (:

So on Saturday, I went to Torrey Pines beach with my cousins. First we went boogie boarding, then we made little sand castle cities, and we threw little sandballs at them to demolish them. It was me, Michelle, and Nate against Kevin, Julian, and Ervin. We kept losing, but it was fun. (I accidentaly trampled on one of our castles, oops ;; ) Then we buried ourselves except for Nate.

Now, school is okay, we have like 3 projects in Spanish, Math/Physics, and Humanities. Tough. Meh. Little update, enjoy (:

BTW, this post is dedicated to all of my friends I made at Kroc, especially Leila, who made me write this x]

Breaking Through Ch. 1-6

So today's post will be homework. Woo. But hey, I'm enjoying this book, so count it as a recommendation.

Breaking Through by Fransico Jimenez is a memoir about a young boy who is at first an illegal immigrant. At first you may think, oh illegal immigrant, did he steal jobs or something? or something of the sort. But I felt connected to Panchito (the boy) in some way. When I read about him, I actually have pity for him when he has to work, or get angry at his dad for acting like there's a bee in his pants.
So at first, Panchito crosses into the US with his family, and lives his life for a few years. Until he gets caught by la migra, or the border patrol. What gets me wondering though, is when the officer said that we was turned in by "someone of his own." I started wondering during that part. Could it have been Mr. Ito, the cropholder? Or maybe one of their neighbors? But I had no time to play detective, because I wanted to read more.
So then the family goes back to Nogales, where they spend a couple nights. The family gets a check up in the US then decide to go to a relative's place. Mom and Dad talk about it and decide to let Panchito and his older brother, Roberto, return to the US to continue school. I couldn't imagine just abandoning my family like that, and taking my younger brother with me. I started thinking about everything else. Taxes, chores, and I have to send some of my money from my job to help out my parents. I admire the two because they are really sacrificial, and I don't think that I would've been willing to do that. But I felt good about Panchito, he got to go back to school and see his friends again. I was also amused at the parts where he started learning about rock n' roll. And the dances and class presentation of Elvis was cool.
Then the rest of the family came, eventually and it was a happy reunion. I could feel the warm and fuzziness coming from the scene. Dad apparently, was "hexed" which was to blame for his bad back. But like Panchito, I was a bit skeptical about the whole process: a tent full of incence, flowers, and holy cards; drinking tea that makes you drowsy; and stripping to your waist, getting a massage faced-down, being chanted on, and then puking up blood... I don't know, it all seems weird from my perspective. But it was good to hear that Dad was all better again.
Now, though, Panchito, Trampita (another brother), and Roberto all have to work in a strawberry field now, that Dad now looks after. I feel a bit sorry for Panchito and his brothers during this part because they all have to do manual labor, and it's really tiring for them and affecting Panchito in his studies. But, it can't be helped; they need the money. They start by pulling weeds, then hoeing the seeds in. But the seeds won't grow so they fumigate during the night. Turns out they killed the plants, and Dad's devastated. Now I feel sorry for him.
Later, Roberto and Panchito ask to go to the Vet's High School Dance, but Panchito gets yelled at for being "disrespectful" by asking if they could go while the Dad was thinking. At that part I was like, WTF? I mean, just because, your little strawberries won't grow, doesn't mean you have to take out by lashing at your kids and restricting them, when they've never done anything wrong!
Then Panchito "graduates" from Junior High, and I feel good about this. It was sad though that his parents couldn't come, but I could see that it meant a lot for Panchito to have his dad give him a special medallion and put some aftershave on him. And then I can't read chapter 7.

All in all, I've really enjoyed this book and I feel like I can connect to the characters. I look forward to reading the next parts.

Does this make you sad?

Some people might be familiar with the software, VOCALOID by Yamaha. For those of you not, it's basically a singing program where you type out the lyrics to a tune you played out on a virtual keyboard. Anyways, probably the most popular character from VOCALOID is Hatsune Miku, a character part of the VOCALOID2 character series. A lot of people from Nico Nico Douga, a Japanese YouTube mentioned before, have made covers and original songs. Here's one, that may put you in a saddened mood. I don't have the lyrics, but I think it's about Miku singing about how she can't sing like a real girl and so she gets uninstalled.

In other news, I'm going camping with my family and a couple of my cousins up in the mountains. Gonna be gone for 4-5ish days, August 20-24. And I go back to school the day after we get back. ugh...

(If you didn't notice, this post was probably a measly update with something random to distract you. Enjoy (: )

Happy Returns

After having a month-long hiatus, I think it's time for me to put up another post. I was originally going to do a vlog, but my mom's camera kept dying after 3 mins. -_-; So about my grandma's ceremonies, they went pretty well. I got to carry the coffin, and I saw some of my cousins from upper Callie. I was going to do a sermon, but for some reason, I couldn't move. My cousins, and me and my brother sang, and some of my relatives spoke. I wanted to, but I didn't want to interrupt the Pastor. 

So today, I had my first eye exam outside of school, and I, and the doctor, have to say that I have perfect 20/20 vision! My brother on the other hand, also has 20/20 vision, however, he can also 

use reading galsses you find anywhere, but it really isn't recommended. It was a bit odd though, first I had to stare at a red dot that kept moving. Then, I had to focus on a small house, like it was far away. Afterwards, I had to stare at a green light for what seemed like hours. After, I went to watch my brother in the other room take another part of his test, which was then my turn. It was weird. I had to look at letters through this sight thing and the letters were on a mirror, its hard to explain, sorta I just don't wanna type it all ;;. Anyways, I also did the "Which one looks blurrier?" thing with the "L

ens One or Lens Two" thing. So afterwards, I put on some 3D glasses and I had to look at pictures that "popped up" at me.

 Then, I had to do a color-blind test I guess, you know the one with a number inside

 a different colored circle. I got all the numbers right, I think, but me and my brother saw 2 different numbers when doing it. I saw 74, while he saw 71. Odd. 

I'm also thinking of changing my blog's name. I was thinking Psychobabble for a title. Any suggestion? Just comment. I'll put up a poll soon. 

Tearful Sorrows

Last night, my grandmother passed away. It was a peaceful death, but it was a depressing one. Yesterday, all the adults were scurrying about, saying things and going to the hospital. I had no idea what was going on, and I was offered to go somewhere with my uncle, who was going to the hospital at the time, but I declined, not knowing where he was going. Afterwards, my dad picked my and my brother up from my cousin's house, and everything was just all weird. My mom called when we got home, telling us to go to the hospital. My dad told us to grab a jacket, and I asked what was happening.
"It's your grandma," he replied. I asked her condition and he replied, "Not good." I was crestfallen, afraid of what was next, even though I already knew at the pit of my stomach. When we arrived, one of my uncles escorted us in, even though it was only one person at a time. My uncle told them that she was dead already, and they let us in. We rushed to her bed and we saw, two of my uncles, and me mom, sobbing, next to my grandma. Me and my brother looked and we embraced our mother. We all cried, and talked for a bit. She was already admitted to the ER around 12 or 1, (it was around 6:45-ish by the time we got there) and the doctors came in and talked to her. They said, "Ma'am, how are you?" She nodded. Then another question, "Do you know where you are?" "Hospital." They did checks and the felt her abdominal area all enlarged. They talked about putting her on a machine when her heart stopped, and she said, "Why? I'm healthy enough." She was also asking for two of my cousins. One in Florida, and she also got to talk to her on the phone. The other was my baby cousin, who didn't come until later at night. My mom left when the doctors were talking, and when she came back, her eyes were already pointed toward the ceiling.
Some of my relatives from Escondido came. My cousin came through the curtain and I just hugged her, sad. She looked at my grandma and she started sobbing as well. Soon, 3 of my cousins came, and they were sad as well. We were escorted from he room to a waiting area while they cleaned her up. Some people didn't talk, and the others just talked softly, outside. I sat there, thinking of my grandma, all the times we had together, not believing that she was gone. But yet her yellowed skin, gaping mouth, and bluing tongue was stuck in my mind, like it was saying, "It's true she's gone." We were then brought to a room where we could see her. My uncle left to get my auntie, who left early from work I think, and my cousin who was taking care of my baby cousin who also came. Some of us, including me, left to go eat at a nearby restaurant. It as odd that when we got there, most of the songs playing were all sad songs. We came back and looked at her more, and pondered. We said a prayer and left. Me and my cousins were disturbed at the fact that she was put in a body bag, making her look like she was a victim of a crime scene. We gathered outside, and the adults were talking about what was next. We went to my cousins house, then went back to our house.
It left me wondering everything about my grandma, how she was and how she really cared, even though we didn't see it sometimes, she really did.

Recent Mishaps

Sorry for not posting in forever. This past 12 days, some of my relatives from Florida came over. It was fun and I will go briefly as to what happened during their visit, and a little before that time:

• We went to SeaWorld and it was so fun. Shipwreck Rapids, Shamu, Clyde and Seamore (sp?), Journey to Atlantis, the Dolphins, everything! We got soaked a mighty couple of times too.
• My cousin from Florida and a couple from here watched Get Smart. LMAO-funny, especially the last parts.
• I got interested in the Septimus Heap series, really good if you like magic adventure books.
• I just got Mario Kart Wii. My friend code is 1633-5586-1977. I suck though :p
• I'm starting to play Trickster Revolution, by Ntreev, the same people who did Grand Chase, as I mentioned awhile back. I like it more than GC.
• My relatives just went home today. Really sad, but the rest of the family (2 older siblings + my cousin's bf) are coming in September.

I think that's about it. Keeping it short, because I want to play Trickster. Look up Tokome, if you play.

Twitter!

Notice on the top, under my profile, there is now a Twitter badge. Just signed up today, now everyone can stalk me! Nah, I can block any followers, though :p.
After cooling off in the hot tub (haha, oxymoron) then [look at twitter for whats next], it isn't so hot anymore :)

Escondido

I'm at my auntie's house right now, waiting for my other cousins to come over and start...something. I'm a little in the dark about the details, but I think it has to do with my relatives coming over from Florida. It's so hot here! Ugh, I'm about to melt. But the goods thing is we might be able to go swimming later. All for now.

New Anime: Real Drive

While I was searching for any news for Haruhi Season 2 (though I found nothing, I did see that there's going to be a Wii game for it), I was looking through a blog and the anime title "Real Drive" came up. It's fairly new, started in April of this year, and I decided to check it out. I'm fairly not sure what it's about, but it looks good. The first ep, i was a bit disturbed (I'm not a big fan of blood and gore), but nontheless, it looks enjoyable.

OBTW, my relatives just came over from Florida, at 9:20 am, yay! I get to see them bedfore my brother, hahaha. They're staying for 12 days, which is cool 8). All for now.
