My first Tuttimelon,

So I had my first Tuttimelon today with Nick, Monica, Eva, Shelly, Fian, and Kristy.

I got the mango one because it was $0.99 and I liked it so much I got a second one with Kristy. Now, I have a fatty stomach ache, I feel lethargic and I have 2 tests to study for.*

I'm so fucked!


*Notice that parallelism? :D

Step 1 is to pin-point the problem.

Ok so I kinda forgot to blog these last...4 days? Yeah sounds about right. Right? I don't even know anymore lol.

I bought fabric from Fabrix. They tricked me again, I never get what I want. I wanted cloth for a Le Sac dress, but the kind I got was way too heavy. On the plus side, I scored a yard of cute cherry blossom rope and 3 fabric flowers for $1.05 altogether. I'm planning on making hair clips with the flowers and I'm currently using the rope as a waist belt/headband/bracelet/anything else I can use it for. BTW, my Le Sac attempt was a total fail.

I also went to Office Depot..or was it OfficeMax? I have no clue, but I bought 3 packs of lined paper[to start off the school year], an erasable highlighter [seriously, its erasable], a 6 pack of glue sticks [FUCK YEAH! FINALLY!] and 3 notebooks that I gave to my cousin since they were a penny each, no joke.

I finally got my bank account and cashed my paycheck. I now have a checking account along with a debit card that I can use to shop online. YES! I got a World Wildlife Foundation Visa card so Bank of America donates every time I use my card, which probably won't be often, but hey! it counts for something!

I really like reading other people's blogs. They're just so much more interesting than my own. lol

I read 238 pages of Alive in Necropolis in one fucking day! So now, along with my previous 96 pages read, I have 59 pages left. I'm in the home stretch! Then I need to get Franny and Zooey. Hahaha! I'm fucked. I still need to memorize all the AP chemistry shit and brush up on my Spanish. Not to mention all the days that I'm hanging out with friends and making like...3 friendship bracelets. Damn holmes, ya breakin' me!

According to my SAT classes, my projected score range is not 1820-2020. YES! well not that big of an improvement, but improvement nonetheless. I really want to know what my score is now. Must register for the October SAT and the November ACT. I got a 5/6 on my in class practice essay! And I wrote the last 2 paragraphs in like 3 minutes! I'm kinda proud, but we'll see how everything turns out lol.

See guys this is what happens when I take a break from blogging. I make Nicolas-sized posts. It'a crazy. At least I'm not talking about lettuce flavored Doritos hahah!! jk.

  1. DONE Finish Alive in Necropolis
  2. DONE Buy Moleskin to protect my feet in new shoes.

Birthday Shout-out to Me!

Happy Birthday Glenda! I can't believe we've been best friends for exactly 16 years now! we've been through our ups and downs and we've learned a lot together. I love you so much. I'm so glad that we met. You've changed my life. Keep doin' ya thaaang gruh!

I went to SAT classes today. Nothing big, at all. NOTHING. Then I got home and took the 44 down to Silver to take the 14/14L/49 to 18th & Mission. On the bus, I saw Katherine Gao and Galen Hall. I said hi to Katherine but I wasn't sure if I actually saw Galen until later, so I didn't talk to him.

I went to Thrift Town on the mission and purchased 2 pairs of shoes and a sweater. There I saw Celeste and Nicola. The heels I got are Bruno Magli, which according to Wikipedia is an italian luxury shoe brand. It was 50% off today, too! So I snagged everything for $4. The sweater is adorable. Its a XL cardinal red V-neck sweater with a "Pacific Coast Rugby Football Union" embroidery. I love it. On the bus ride back, I saw Zane. We had a nice repetitive chat about everything we previously discussed on facebook, but nevertheless, it was really nice to see him.



Another successful sneak-out, guys! I'm starting to get pretty good at this!

I now have a steady source of income: Washing the dishes every other day of the month for $10 a month. Starting today, my beloved birthday. WOW. Thanks mom.

Sunday Sundae.

So yesterday, I went to the park near my house to do some reading. I'm glad I did, because without those 2 hours, I would've never gotten into Alive in Necropolis. Its actually a half-decent book. I'm confused sometimes but I'm sure I'll understand it in the end. I'm on page 96 now. Pretty good considering that I was on page 22 when I woke up yesterday.

At the park, there was an omnipresent breeze and I was carrying a fleece blanket that I curled up on at a certain special spot on the side of a hill I visit frequently. I kept feeling myself slip off the blanket due to my tights and "bare"foot nature. While curled, seriously curled up in a ball, I saw this HUGE line of motorcycles/mopeds drive through the street opposite where I was sitting/laying. I swear it went on for a WHOLE minute. Kinda crazy.

On my way home, I picked 2 California poppies [yes, I know it's illegal] and a purple flower that i neglected to take pictures of. They were gorgeous, really. I was really paranoid that the people who's houses I was stealing those flowers from would drive up or look out their window and yell at me!

I then spent that day on my couch with my sister watching ABC family movies. Ashley Tisdale is an awful actor. Really, she should stick to....what is she good at?

So my parents officially said no to my LINC reunion camping trip. But whatever, I need to call everyone and tell them that we are rescheduling to after Labor Day anyhow. I bitched for a while and then got cheered up (: I then went on to squatting, random ab exercises, and tripod-ing until 2 in the morning. What a day.

My day in Chinatown and Japantown/Fillmore.

So today I headed out looking like this[refer to figure A&B], only hair down and with my blue wayfarers, which I wear very frequently. It's the dress that Christina bought me! I wore my gold sandals and a yellow beater to try to emphasize the yellow centers of the flowers. Fashionista much?

@ Chinatown, I went to Golden Zone 99cents store and picked up two composition notebooks in hopes for finding my notebook quickly in a sea of black and white...I got lime green and teal. Yeah, I'm cool!

@ Japantown
I ran off from the main building to go to Fillmore Goodwill. I'm so Glad I did; I snatched up a side bag [Refer to Figure D]for when I go to ghetto parts of the town and for when I'm just not looking nice enough to wear the bag I got for my birthday, since I'd be surely robbed if I was carrying that thing around Bayview or if I was walking home anywhere. I'm sure. My family gets mugged frequently, thanks.
Also I didn't have enough time for fully browse Goodwill. They had this really nice section in the back that had all these nice-nice clothing. There was this hipster guy working there and he grabbed this pair of shoes I was eye-ing to put on display. I grabbed them after he put them down and tried them on. TOO BIG FUCK MY FEET! They were a pair of gorgeous light-tan leather menswear style heels. Chunky heels for comfort(: and they were $10.50. I'd consider going back for them If they fit me. But anyways, I got a skirt too. Its a bit big for high-waisted, but I'll deal. [Refer to figure C]

Party



Party!
Ok, so me and tammy's party was really fun. I can't even describe it at this point, I'm like dumb-founded, I'll try to start from the top.

Pre party
So Tammy shows up at my house. We talk with Diego and then I show her that i can give him a piggy-back ride. Yeah I'm cool. Then we all hitch a ride to Costco from my aunt. Once there, me and Tammy cried over the fact that SF costco didn't have the baseball cake we were pining over. Like really really devastated. I almost killed Diego...in my head. But I was dying! Eva called and she saw my mom while waiting outside my house! So we all went inside...and almost immediately started making fun of tammy. hahahah! I like how whenever we hang out with tammy, all we do is make fun of her. actually, it's kinda tragic. hahahah!

Party-Party
We had a lot of fun watching Final Destination 2, playing 2 minutes of rockband, eating cake, playing BS, watching me and tammy cake each other(idk how to get the video on here), and...TABOO!! definitely the gaming highlight of the night! lol. I don't remember anything anymore lol.

Post Party
I waited at the bustop at night. It was really really nice out. Kinda sad when the bus came. I went back inside to see Eva droppin' my Diablo everywhere and probably pissing off my uncle and Grandma down stairs!

I had so much fun yesterday at the party, and I love all my gifts! I will do a video about them since my camera broke. Or maybe my dad will fix it and i'll take a picture.

I wish I was Christina Won.

Ok, so it was really hot today. I cleaned my room in preparation for tomorrow's party. I have a lot more to clean though ):

I woke up so wonderfully today. I woke up 2 minutes before my alarm to a well lit golden room [a rarity]. Then as a peacefully closed my eyes, my favorite rockband song began to play, Are You Gonna Be My Girl by the Jets? Soon after all my other songs that I haven't heard in so long play. What a wonderful morning. I also had fresh baked chocolate cake for breakfast courtesy of my sister (:

FastForward to my blog-stalk of Christina Won. I love her! I especially liked her post about the color triad. So this is for you Christina (: I used red, purple, and teal. Because I own things of these colors (: I also decided to throw on some snazzy black bike shorts. mmm, I'm disgusting :D

Red sweater - Target
Purple T - Bang on! @ Haight
Black Shorts - TJ Maxxx
Teal Converse - FootAction USA

Haha! I'm a "fashion-blogger." Oh god! I wish!

What a shitty day.

My mom said I can't go on the LINC camping trip that I've been so diligently planning for the past few weeks. However, I'm still inclined to plan the trip for everybody else. I mean, it's not like I don't want to, it's just that it's kinda sad that I'm going to put a lot of work into it and I'm going to be at home on the 15th moping. Thanks for not trusting me, mom!

I also felt really bad for not calling a certain someone when I got home. But when I called this person, I realized that I wasn't exactly missed. Whatever, I'm not crazy clingy. I told this person what I needed to tell him/her. No big deal.

I napped for like 1-2 hours? Idk. The dream was alright...I don't really remember it anymore though. It wasn't worth remembering.

I bought a banana creme pie at FoodsCo. It doesn't suit my tastes. I didn't know it was just banana flavored whipped creme on a pie crust. Wtf is that shit?

I can't log into my stupid online SAT practice. After 10 minutes of struggling, I decided to give up til tomorrow and call the office after school when they are open, as I was struggling at 10.

**Highlight of the day:
a) Eating 2 otter pops. Cherry and Orange, in that order.
b) Finding this picture. I'M WEARING A DINOSAUR X'MAS SWEATER! Why am I so cool?

CuteCute Juice.

No Hide Steve.

No Hide Steve is a man you definately want to meet. He gets his name No Hide Steve from his amazing circus tactics. His most famous use of this was during Vietnam. After being stranded in the jungle for serveral YEARS and living off the land, No Hide Steve decided to wait for the enemy. He created a suit that would make him incredibly visible if he lay on the ground.
He laid on the ground and waited. Soon enough the VC was in his area. He waited, blindingly visible, and he waited some more. After waiting for several hours a lone soldier of the irregular Vietnamese Army (Viet Cong/Charlie/ THE MUTHA FUCKING VC) stepped over him. He stood up behind him and stripped all the cavities from this young man. This is where he gets his name. He is not a man, he is dentist. Glowing like a green highlighter in the jungle.
________________________________i feel like i'm playing madlibs!_____________________________

Do you guys know those people? Yaknow, the people who are so cute, they make you just want to DIE! from how cute they are? AHH!!! I love those people! They're just so cute and amazingly perfect that their cuteness just kills you?

I've been getting cute attacks recently!

My life is so great. I really need to plan out all my summer reading though.

There are some total creeps though. But I guess they're OK every once in a while, to like make funny awkward situations. haha! I live for awkward situations, theyre so funny to laugh about afterwards (((((:

I have a serious obsession with Taylor Swift. She's like 24/7 for me. Her songs are really great and she's a good singer. AND she's a positive role model, unlike ahem miley cyrus. Ok, I love Taylor Swift. ENDOFSTORY!

I feel like Vlogging.

Kbai!
