THANKSGIVING BREAK

Well on Wednesday, I did NOT watch New Moon after all. Instead, Leon and I watched 2012. It was pretty sad and interesting. After that we went to Chipotle and ate chicken burrito. Then we walked around until 3 because he had a dentist appointment, so that day went by fast.

Thursday, I stayed home and part of my family came over to my house for a big feast. The whole day my family were preparing food while me and my niece were playing games and walked to South Shore and back. When we came back we were still bored and don't know what to do so she watched Tom and Jerry while I was talking to people online. When food was ready, the rest of my family came over to eat. We had so much food to eat and all I ate was noodles and pumpkin pie... Then I was already full! I have such a small stomach! So while I was done eating, everyone else was eating and I played the piano for about an hour. Everyone else was still eating and talking and laughing when I was done so I stayed in the living room with my niece and watched more TV. When everyone was done, they started heading back home. I felt really tired afterward for some reason so I went to bed early.

On Friday morning, I had piano lessons because my piano teacher isn't going to be there on Saturday. And I was suppose to go shopping on black Friday but I couldn't because of my piano lessons. I wanted to have my lessons on Thursday but she rescheduled it to Friday afternoon but I was going to hang out with Leon again so I asked for 8AM. After piano lessons I told my friend Oscar to drive me back home because no one was able to take me back home because my mom had to work and I don't know anyone else who can drive. Oscar's so nice to take me back home! A little bit before 11, I walked to the theater and Leon was already there. This time I paid for our tickets =] We watched New Moon! There was a long line at the theaters and I hope all of them are not going to watch New Moon because that means there are crazy fan girls screaming Edward's name or Jacob's and that's kind of annoying. But it turns out not that many people watched New Moon. After, we went to Chipotle again to eat chicken burritos. Then went to Borders and read Manga, then Kohl's. After that we didn't know where to go so we went to the beach. Then it started raining and it was time for me to go home anyways so we ran back to the bus stop to wait for Leon's bus. When it came, I ran all the way home and I was soaking wet. So I quickly took a warm hot shower; it felt so good, I didn't want to come out. After showering I just did the usual stuff again: AIM, MSN, FB, listening to music, and doing my blog.

thanksgiving break!

After today, we have 2 more days until it's Thanksgiving break! But for other schools, today is the last day, and once today is over, their Thanksgiving break are gonna start. I wish our school would be like that too; what's the point going to school for just 2 days?
Anyways, on Wednesday I will be watching New Moon with Leon! He's going to come all the way from Castro Valley to hang out with me and watch New Moon with me. I hope it won't be too crowded in the theater for New Moon... well I hope not as bad as how today will be. I bet tonight there will be so many people watching New Moon at 4:00 and 7:00, or whatever the times are.
On Thursday is Thanksgiving day so I will be spending the day with my family. We didn't really plan anything for that day this year but I hope we will have a huge gathering with the rest of my family from Oakland and have a huge feast at my house. I haven't seen one of my cousins in so long and I really miss talking to him. There are so much to catch up with. I hope we go shopping too. I mean on black Friday. I doubt my parents are going to take me so I will just either go with my cousin or friends. My friends from Oakland wants me to go with them but my other friends from Alameda wants me to go with them. So it's going to hard to choose. But whatever, I just want to go shopping and staying up in line until the door opens.
After we're done shopping I will go home and sleep for a few more hours and then around noon Leon, Ethan, Connie are coming to Alameda (all from Castro Valley) and we're going to watch 2012. After that we're just going to hang around until the day is over.
Saturday and Sunday I will be busy, going to piano lessons and probably church.
So that's it for my Thanksgiving break. Then I can't wait for Winter break and then Spring break and then it's Summer again! =D

Yesterday; Veterans day

Yesterday was Veterans day and I thought I would be stuck at home doing nothing but homework all day. First I woke up around 8 and went online to check out some stuff and chatted with some people. Then I realized I got an orthodontist appointment around 4. I was sitting in bed with my laptop on my lap chatting with people until 10. I got out of bed and brushed my teeth and then ate breakfast with my parents and grandpa. After breakfast I played a little bit of piano when I saw my cousin outside my front door. "What are you doing here?" I said. My cousin said "LET'S GO SHOPPING!"
We went to Southland to shop until 3 something. We walked to Kohl's first and then Macy's. We saw this flannel top that looked cute but we didn't get it [yet]. Later we went to forever 21 and a whole bunch of other stores. We saw more flannels again but we still think the ones at Macy's was better. We walked all the way back to Macy's, but then we saw a stand with a lady selling calendars that caught our eyes. We spent 3 minutes looking at calendars and there were some that I really liked too, but of course I'm not gonna get some, Yet. After that we went back to Macy's to get those flannel tops. It was also on sale too.
After we bought our tops and other stuff from other stores, we went to get something to eat. We ate at McDonald's. By the time we were done eating, I just realized I still have my orthodontist appointment! We rushed back to her car and she drove me to the orthodontist in Oakland.
I waited almost 30 minutes until it was my turn... When I was done, we went to the Kohl's in Alameda to walk around and walk around South Shore. I bought a red Mickey Mouse jacket that I thought was very bright and cute. After Kohl's it was cold and dark so we went back home and my cousin stayed for the night.
After dinner, I had to START on my homework. I had a whole bunch of math homework and I had to memorize 3 paragraphs I wrote for my Spanish presentation. I finished my math homework first and then I studied the Spanish presentation; I also tried to say it when I was in the shower... and my mother heard me when she was washing the dishes...
Today, my presentation went pretty well. Today was pretty good, except that it was very windy. I thought today felt like a Monday at first, but by the end of 6th period, it felt like a Friday. We still have tomorrow of school until it's the weekend. And Veterans day felt like a Sunday while Tuesday felt like a Friday. This week got me kind of confused...
We still have tomorrow and the whole week of next week and 2 days until Thanksgiving Break; Why can't we have the whole week off for Thanksgiving break? Other schools has the whole week off............

After going through all my blog posts, I don't think I've improved much. Every week I think about a topic to write about but sometimes I just can't think of anything until the last day. While other people usually continue writing about their blog like a story, I write about something random every week because I can't stick to one topic. Plus I run out of ideas to write about if I stick to one topic. That shows I am really not a writer and I don't plan on being one.

I think my previous blog posts are not perfect but they're okay, I guess. I tend to write stuff that's not even related to the topic too; I ramble on and on about stuff and I'm not supposed to be redundant; I think I am but I try not to. I think I could do better than this but I just don't know what to write. Before I write in big chunks and now I am able to make my writing into paragraphs and write up to 300 words or more, and it's not even that much.

I even think writing this blog post is pretty bad too. After writing so many blogs for weeks, I still haven't improved in my writing and it's already the 2nd quarter of the school year; I wonder what improvements I will have by the end of the school year.

Writing this blog is making me feel bored because I'm procrastinating and multitasking at the moment. It's not even up to 300 words yet, and here I am rambling on and on about random stuff, trying to stick to the topic. This also shows I don't know what to write and just type whatever comes to mind.
~~~~
I feel like this topic is hard to write because I can't think of anything to write and I didn't have 300 words above yet. See how hard it is for me? I really hope I can improve by the end of the year and hopefully become an amazing writer some day.
Just kidding.

October 31st; Halloween!

2 days ago, I went to Bay Street, Emeryville with my friends Leon and Peter and 2 other girls, Rebecca and Rui Ren. I haven't seen Peter since I was in 5th grade! While he was in 4th. And he really changed a lot... I mean, he use to be this little smart and innocent looking boy whom I was taller than, and now he's like BAMMM, like 4 feet taller than me, I think.
We bought tickets to Surrogates but we watched Paranormal Activity instead. The movie wasn't what I was expected because it's only those two people filming the whole movie; recording something weird and scary happening to the girlfriend. It was so weird though. After the movie, my legs were shaking; not because I was scared, it's because it was freaky...
After the movie, we walked around Bay Street and went inside stores to look around. After that we went to Barnes and Nobles to get Starbucks and read for awhile. We ended up taking random pictures too. It was so funny... By the time i was already 5 something and I had to go back home fast to get ready to go trick or treating with other friends, so I called my mom to pick me up.
When I got home, I was getting ready. I dressed as a devil! I didn't really buy a devil costume, so I just wore a red shirt with black sleeves and short jeans with black leggings. And a pair of red Converses. The only devil stuff I bought at the party warehouse store are the devil horns, the pitch fork, tail, and a mask, but I didn't wear the mask.
Around 6:30, I met up with my friends Dina, Michelle, her brother Marbin, Nathan, Katherine, Alec and Ryan. We started walking all the way to Grand Ave, then turned back to Otis towards Park Street, and then we went to Quickly to get some food. We took a lot of pictures too. At Quickly, we saw another group of our friends dressed as... whatever they were.
It was already getting late so we waited for our parents to pick me up. When I went home, I had to wipe all my make up. It was so annoying because I don't usually wear eyeliner or eyeshadow, except for special occasions. When I was getting ready to go to bed, I started thinking about Paranormal Activity again and I got scared to go to sleep. I sucked it up and went to sleep anyways because I got my teddy bear and my blanky! All of a sudden, I woke up in the middle of the night and I couldn't go back to sleep, thinking about the movie again! That movie got to me... I think I just laid in bed for probably half an hour; a long time... I tried thinking of something else except the movie, but I just couldn't. It was around 3 AM. Instead, I woke up and went on the computer and watched a little bit of TV and I ended up staying up for the rest of the morning.
