Moving? Yes!
At least temporarily.
Perhaps I will move back to this journal sometime when I feel the need.
Too many weird entries and embarrasment, even if it's only me who read my entries anyway.
I don't feel like deleting everthing just yet.
Fond memories :]

From now on, I'm posting @

Comic Con was fun. It was really tiring, but worth everything.
It was super crowded, even if it was Sunday. I'd hate to see how bad Saturday was, or the other days, in the Exhibition hall. I really wanted to go on Thursday for Hugh Jackman (wahhh Jacob Black!), Friday for Watchmen, and Saturday for Heroes. Everyone had cool super huge Wonder Woman and Watchmen bags that I would have never used but wanted.

I got to see panel for Supernatural, Harold and Kumar, and Friday the 13th. It was pretty awesome to see the stars of the show/ movies come out and answer questions for fans. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of any of those franchises, but it was really cool nonetheless. The whole panel for Supernatural was really amusing, and John Cho is really funny.

We walked around the Exhibition Hall for at least 2 hours and I ended up with a few pictures and a Prince Caspian/ Ben Barnes poster. There was so much going on, it was hard to focus on one thing. I freaked out when I saw the Cloud Strife and FFXIII posters, but I totally wet myself when I saw the huge Pikachu. We arrived just in time in front of the Pokemon area as the lady led the Pikachu out. I started freaking out, moreso than the little kids around me (what's nerdier is that I was dressed as a Power Ranger....). I got to take my picture with the giant Pikachu and it even held my hand (because I grabbed it for some reason)! It was one of the most amazing moments in my life. 

Seriously. I've wanted to take a picture with a giant Pikachu since I found out about Comic Con. 

I'm really sad that I didn't get a lot of free stuff (hahaha. cheapo)- the lines were so long for everything. I've waited since last year to go to Comic Con, so now that it's over I feel like I have nothing to look forward too. Is that pathetic...?

On another note, yesterday was the Amber Sky Lane concert. I'm glad K was there- we had wayyy to much fun. Jesus Wickam!

Thinkingpost! 

I just finished having another fun nerd conversation with KT about Batman. I really want Riddler to be in the next one. I'm not sure how I feel about Catwoman, because she's never been portrayed well by any female actor. I really hope Christopher Nolan directs again, because he took Batman to another level. Heath Ledger as Joker? I would have never considered it, but Heath was amazing.  If they do plan on putting Catwoman into the next Batman, hopefully they don't cast another "Hollywood vixen" as KT says, and stick with people with actual talent and passion for the role. 

I watched the Watchmen teaser over again, because it looked really awesome when I saw it during the previews. I've never really read the comic book before, but the trailer made me a fan. Zack Snyder directing? Hell yes. He made 300 come to life and the cinematography was beautiful. He seems really passionate about comic-book accuracy and his films are all badass. 

I decided I wanted to read the comic book to really understand what its about. I thought "I'll just read it at Borders after school" like I always do with comic books. Then I remembered 1) I'm not in school anymore- it's summer, 2) I won't have those "Borders moments" anymore. During the school year, my sister, boflex and I would go to Borders while waiting to pick up my mom from work. I'd sit and read comic books on the couch there and my sister, boflex and I would just read and laugh. It made me sad to realize we'll never do that anymore. We're all moving away from PQ- I'm going to another school, my sister is going off to college and even boflex is moving out of state. 

I never really realized how much I enjoyed Borders time. I've never been so grateful for them until now.

Transfering schools puts a lot of things into perspective, and it's hard when it feels like I need my friends now more than ever. It sucks that I'll won't see the same, comforting faces everyday and I won't get to laugh with my friends in person. 

And this was all brought on by The Dark Knight. 
Thank you Batman. Haha.

Yesterday (or Today, I guess) we watched the midnight showing of The Dark Knight.
It's really sad that Heath Ledger isn't alive to see how much people love him as Joker.

The overall night was fun. I got to hang out with K again and we talked about the most random things. I'm really going to miss seeing her everyday next year. I only got about an hour of sleep, but I suprisingly holding up well.



The film was amazing, of course. It lived up to all the hype, but it wasn't what I expected. It's not formulaic like other super hero/ comic book films- there was something so different about it. The Joker was definitely the highlight of the film. He was genuinely scary- I was either laughing at his twisted jokes or covering my eyes because he was so unpredictable. Batman is given more depth, and seems even more torn and troubled than before. Oh, I love Christian Bale. Maggie Gyllenhaal was an upgrade from the last movie, and I was really surprised about her fate (and really sad about her letter...).

I only have good things to say about the film, and I can't wait to watch it again.

Hooray. Only 4 days left of stupid summer school, then I can finally have fun again. ASL concert, Comic Con, Disneyland hopefully.

I have a totally random obsession with Lou Taylor Pucci. 

The guy who checked our tickets for Narnia looked like a cross between him and Ben Barnes. I am such a loser.

I hate MH. 

I miss MC so much. I miss everyone. 

I doubt it'll get better once the school year starts.
I just hate the feeling I get when I walk onto the campus.

I was planning on going back Senior year, and now I can't wait.

On a brightner note: 
Sunday ComicCon? I hope so.
The Dark Knight Midnight Showing? Most likely.

WANTED. OHMYGOD. 
Badass, kickass. 



James McAvoy is amazing. I was a little sad at the ending (well, not the ending ending, but the textile factory Fox scene), but I laughed through the whole thing. The action scenes were so awesome. I love his angry rampages. I'm in awe of it all, and I can't seem to get my thoughts straight about it. Ikea.

I feel pretty useless now. Like I'm insignificant and I need to shoot something. Ha.

The day was pretty good too. I got to spend time with cousins and best friend(!) and I ate my weight in Panera bread. The little preview show before the movie was more amusing than usual, but that might have been an immediate effect of the candy. I drove (but I kept stopping illegally) to the store successfully (no crashes!).

I really hope I can see THE DARK KNIGHT at midnight.
I NEED to buy Friday ComicCon tickets. 89% sold out already. I don't know if I'll be able to make it D:.

Shopping spree! Not really, but I'm spending money, and emptying my already moth-ridden bank account. It's not my fault everyone is having a sale! I actually need new stuff though. 
But aren't these shoes awesome?!


Hopefully I can get out this weekend. I can't wait for July- ComicCon and The Dark Knight! Wanted comes out this weekend, and I also really want to see Wall-E. I have no money to buy movie tickets, since it seems the price of everything is becoming more ridiculously expensive. Fucking economy. 

So my awesome Yellow Ranger costume is going pretty well. 
Hah. Just the arm bands. It'll be freeeking amazing. Hopefully.

I love my friends, I really do. Especially our ridiculous nerd conversations about hot video game characters and comic books. 
CLOUD STRIFE! ZACK FAIR! Boys and girls, it doesn't get hotter than this:

 me: hell yes, i'd do is animated ass. 
s: oh gawd. yes. all he needs is to be azn & im set for life. hahah xD 
a: Ahhahhahaha, i would totally tap that too! XXD 
s: lol. i have to say. were totally AWEOSME! hahah xD. (I SPELLED THAT INCOREECTLY ON PURPOSE A!) 

Freeek. Why must you tease me Square Enix? I think the real question here is: why am I so nerdy? 

I was re-reading old entries and I realized I've had this journal since 2005- well, not exactly this one, but I switched all my old entries from fobbish_delight to this one (I think...). I'm really embarrassed that I used to be obsessed with Fall Out Boy and those pop-emo bands. 
Pointless entry! But then again, aren't they all...

It was considerably cooler today. It was actually a constant 79 degrees instead of high-80s upstairs. I'm so happy! 
I can't stop listening to "96000", it's genius.

 for real though,
imagine how it must feel going real slow
down the highway of life
with no regrets

So the meeting at MH didn't go too well as far as course selection: 1) they don't offer a class I REALLY want to take, 2) they require 4 years of history- so I have to take freshman history over the summer (one semester this summer and one next summer or both semesters next summer). It's really lame. I'm planning on going back to MC Senior year to graduate with awesome people, so I'm debating on whether or not I should take the semester summer class this summer. I also don't want to do summer school because it will potentially fall on a ComicCon day. It's a bad reason, but ComicCom is more important than the ridiculous MH credits system. 

Speaking of ComicCon...
I am totally excited. Nerd conventions excite me like no other.
I never thought dressing up was for me, but I'm pretty set on dressing up this year WHEN I go. So here's a list of potential candidates. HAHA

1) Yellow Ranger - Admitedly, she was never my favorite ranger, but she's grown on me as of late. :P I used to love the pink ranger but she's got nothing cool to offer (like kung-fu!).


2) Chun-li - DUDE! The ultimate female video game character! She's super awesome and strong. I'm still really angry that they're making a Chun-li movie with Kristin Kreuk as Chun-li. No one in hollywood right now can do her justice.


3) Cassandra Cain/Batgirl - It really doesn't get more badass than Batgirl. Well, it probably does, but making her costume would give me an excuse to buy lamé leggings!



4) Sailor Mars - I've wanted to be a sailor scout ever since I was really little (I've been a nerd all my life, but it's expected because I am asian)! She's definitely the coolest one. All I have to do is grow awesome long hair and I'm set!


5) Katamari! - I like they're outfits because they're super crazy and fun. I think I'd look more like a 5 year old if I wear a katamari outfit, though...















For some reason, they're all Asian. I'm not really sure how that happened. My subconcious strikes again!

Anyway, I love tvlinks. I watched Heavenly Forest, and I almost cried! It's so cute and sad at the same time. I love Asian and European movies. Sasuke:Ninja Warrior is the best show ever. I was so sad the model didn't make it past the first round because he was hott.  ABDC is back on too and it's really disappointing. All the crews suck, pretty much, but there are a few exceptions (emphasis on few): Super Cr3w and Fanny Pak. The guys Super Cr3w can actually dance and they are very entertaining. Fanny Pak is really unique- they're fun to watch and their proformances are refeshing on a show where all the routines look the same. Supreme Soul bothers the hell out of me, and everyone else looks like cheap imitations of Kaba Modern or varios dance crews from last season.

I'm glad I decided to watch the Tony Awards this year. Daniel Radcliffe was there! The In the Heights performance was AMAZING, and Lin-Manuel Miranda's acceptance speech was so awesome. I'm inspired.
96000? Dollars? Holla!

Summer finally started for me. I love love love cousin time.
Yesterday: beach and wii. For 3+ hours. Straight.
Today: beach and wii. For 5+ hours. Straight.

Brawl is THE awesome-est game ever. Dark Link! Dark Link!
Usually I randomly press buttons and hope I hit people, but I actually kind of-sort of know what I'm doing with Super Smash Bros. I suck at Mario Kart (and all games that require steering/ "driving" on a course).

My arms are totally dead now. I couldn't even open my can of soda after Wii Wrestling. 

Kenzie better come back soon. I need extra friend time. 

I have a meeting avec MS tomorrow. I'm nervous, and I don't know why. I also have a driving lesson thing on Thursday, which really sucks. Hopefully we can get tickets to ComicCon. The Saturday ones are sold out!

We plan on going as the OGs from the first season:

HELL YESS!!

Anyway, the Republicans are being total idiots about the election. 
Well, more than their usual dumbass/ we-don't-care-about-the-people ways. 
Even though I didn't initially support Obama, I think he's better than a Bush clone.
We all know how amazing a Rebulican was last time, and how great the last 8 years have been.


My Girl is the cutest filipino tv show ever. I hate how my speaking skills suck, but my listening skills are good (with filipino).

I finally have an ancient PS1. Thanks BoFlex!

Done with finals/ school, finally. Math wasn't too bad, and my MC career ended with Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Keanu Reeves was totally hott. It didn't feel like the end of school- with finals and summer assignments looming over me. Oh, yeah, and the fact that I won't be returning next year. I didn't tell a lot of people. I planned on leaving quietly. I'll miss the people I told, and all my awesome friends.



Time for my obligatory end-of-the-school-year post!

Sophomore year was pretty sucky for all it was worth. There was nothing redeeming about it. It was a lot more work, all at once, and no fun at all. Despite everything, I managed to have a lot of fun.
1) Friends - I realized how amazing my friends really are. They made the year fun and worthwhile. Each and every one had thier own way of making me feel happy. Thanks to ML for being the best best friend ever. Oh yeah, special thanks to DS & ML for getting me flowers and watching my show. It really meant a lot that you guys came and supported me!
2) Lunch - I know it sounds weird, but lunch was always fun. Remember when we used to eat in that big asian group K? Then we were back to eating alone, but it was always fine because K & I always laughed about the stupidest things. I'll miss eating alone at lunch with K. A lot.
3) Classes - I lucked out on teachers/ classes this year. I actually really enjoyed French and Humanities, teacher and class-wise. 
4) Activities - Football games were always fun, even if we weren't watching the game. I only went to Winter Formal, but it was really fun to get dressed up and have fun avec mes copains. 
5) Drama - Definitely not as exciting or as fun as Freshman year, but enough to make a huge impression on my school year. I made some awesome new friends that I'll miss next year. Acting in various plays = great experience and Jones gave me a lot of opportunities. 

I'm so relieved this year is over, but I'm a little sad as well, but...

SUMMER IS HERE.
 
 
feeling a little: grateful

The Sunny Awards were yesterday, and they were amazing. 
I wasn't planning on going (because I for sure I wasn't going to do anything because I haven't really, well, done anything) but Jones found me and convinced me to go. I'm really glad I did. 

Dinner was fun. I sat with awesome people and unknowingly talked to the Italian exchange student (who is very awesome). I took about 2 pictures before we all went into the theatre to hand out awards and stuff. The year in review was funny, and it really allowed me to reflect on everything that's happened, even if I was laughing to whole time. Then the awards ceremony came. I was surprised to hear my name called when Jones was giving out letters and I was even more surprised when I was called for "Outstanding Actress in a Supporting Role" for One Acts. Our One Act also got "Most Dramatic Scene". Apres all the awards, it was time for Senior Videos and Senior Curtian Call. I nearly cried during the videos and during curtain call, but I started seriously bawling when we all went up to hug the seniors.

I was always reminded that I wouldn't be going there next year and that I wouldn't see the seniors next year. I  told myself I wasn't going to cry, that I was fine, but I couldn't hold it in and it was an all-out, hyperventilating cry. It sucked when other people tried to comfort me, because it only made it worse. It was totally embarrassing. 

I don't think I've cried that much since I lost my glasses. HAHA.

Thanks to all the awesome seniors who talked, joked and laughed with me. Thanks to all the drama kids who made this year awesome. Most of all, thanks to Jones, who is probably the best thing to happen to MC and my high school career.

On a brighter note, I finally got new headphones. They looked red in the packaging, but now they're lookin' a little too pinkish. I also received my UO package at my front door on Thursday. It all came in a big box, which made me very excited. 

I keep buying random thing, now. My awesome new Mango body butter from Target is awesome though. It smells like Calpico!!

I wish I wasn't broke. Je veux toujours des nouveaux vĂȘtements. Maybe some new shoes too.

It's official. I'm transferring. 
I feel positive about it.

Je vous aime, je vous maquerai. 

I'm so glad this week is over. It dragged on forever and the homework load was much heavier than usual. The reunion was nice. I love the class of 2014/2010!!! :PP I realized how much I love swinging on swings. Pure magic.

Dudddee. I totally love The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born Marvel comic. I've never cared to much for Stephen King, but the art is so awesome. Jae Lee is my hero, I love the way his art looks. Cuthbert Allgood is hot (I think it's the long hair, BEN BARNES lololol). Damn my obsessions with not real guys!


I'm so stupid. I put the wrong shipping address down so my package was delivered to my neighbor. I hate confrontation and we're not exactly close to any of our neighbors, so this should be interesting. It's so embarrassing- I sent another UO package to that address, aussi.

Stay tuned.

I finally saw Prince Caspian.
Let's get this out of the way:
I LOVE WILLIAM MOSELEY! BEN BARNES IS SO AMAZINGLY HOT! I WILL MARRY ONE OR BOTH OF YOU.

review )
 
3 day weekend! I spent almost 2 hours knitting (while listening to Wolftron!!!!) and nearly no time on my homework, which is a baddd thing (seeing that I have a lot). I have no idea why my teacher's feel the need to cram everything in before finals, as if there is not enough stress already. 

Gas is up to $4.15 a gallon. It looks like my fate is sealed.
 
 
feeling a little: geeky

I seriously want to go see Prince Caspian. Double hotness with William Moseley and Ben Barnes.
Triple hotness if you count the almost-awesomeness of Skandar Keynes. Peut-etre.
I haven't seen a movie in the theatre since...well, I can't really remember...so...

I sat and watched Hello Dolly on tv.
It made me think of how awesome the school production was.
And how much I'd miss everyone if I left.

I think I've come to a decision.
This would be much easier if I wasn't so indecisive. 
Blah. 

I'm ready for summer.

DONE WITH AP TESTS FOR THE YEAR BIAATTCHHH.
I genuinely thought the class was interesting, but all the work and preparation ate up my life. I didn't really study, which is why I'm screwed for the multiple choice. Overall I think I did pretty bad (mediocre to be specific) but hopefully enough to get at least a 3 (shooting for the 4!!). I'm taking 3 APs next year, and I already b!tch and complain with just one...
I will miss learning and all the vocab tests (tru dat Canada!) but I'm so happy it's all over. For the most part. I'm just glad AP "season" is over so I can actually go out without worrying about homework for that class.

This week went by really fast, and the end of the school is is fastly(?) approaching. SUMMER. YAY. I have no motivation to get my license, which is bad. I've had my permit forever. I really want to learn a different language or learn how to play the piano over the summer. German or Japanese or Chinese. Maybe Filipino. I also have to "decide" whether or not I'm transferring, but I'm kinda hoping that decision makes itself. If that makes sense. At least I know I'll be missed. I have super-awesome-amazing friends. 

I need more money. To buy iTunes cards and such. 
My wishlist keeps growing and it seems like online shopping is my new hobby. So if you'd like to donate to my bank account, I'd really appreciate it. 

SF is super cool. I found their MySpace 2 years ago by accident. I can't really understand it, but the music is so super awesome. Yay for non-American music!

I love love love Polaroids.
I'm so glad WalMart is still selling the film- but it's still pretty expensive and I'll have to stock up on it.
The party was super fun. I love "chillin" with ma famille. Everyone together is amazing. 
I'm glad this weekend is over, but I wish I had another day. I hope this week goes by fast. Next weekend will be bettter, I'm sure.
I just wish I didn't have so much homework this weekend.

I've become accustomed to curling my hair. The results are more satisfying than if I straighten it. I'm damaging my hair either way, so I might as well make the best of it.

Bahhh. Urban Outfitters costs too much. I wish I had money.
To pay for all the clothes I want and gas. 

I boy-scout wherever I go. It's a bad habit. Maybe I'll find someone who looks like Nishikido Ryo.

Suppppaaaaa fine. Like woah.

I'm still not sure about the school situation. I actually had a dream about the school I might go to next year- (but I've been having super weird dreams lately). Just thinking about transferring makes me miss random people. I think there will be 3 groups that I'll miss: 1) best friend, close friends, 2) haha all those people I'm in love with, 3) drama kids, seniors who graduated, random people. 
My favourite teacher isn't teaching next year. It's seriously enough to make me consider leaving.

Is it too much to ask for a guy with awesome black video game hair?
(Which brings up the issue how I find video game boys abso-freakin-lutelyHOT...)

Sometimes I'm so shallow it amazes me.

The Dragonball live-action movie shouts "ruining-the-franchise" to me. 
(As do most of the sad american live-action attempts).

Spring Break was too short-
even if some of the days dragged on. 
It was like torture because it was a little taste of summer.
..and it got super super hot around Saturday and I hate being gross and sweaty.

I don't remember it being this hot this early or as cold as it was in winter ever before.
GLOBAL WARMING!
Really, it sucks that all the animals are dying, pollution is eating the world, too many people are populating the earth and stupid politicians are polluting our governments...while I'm alive. 

School sucks as usual. I hate studying. I hate homework. I hate everything that has to do with school except friends. I hate school, but I want to go to college and I'm taking 3 APs next year. 
All my pain is self-inflicted.

Wahh. King Kong was on on Friday-Sunday. I sat in front of the tv and watched for 4 hours. The commercials were super long so I changed the channel every so often. Then sometimes it got too boring or giant bugs filled the screen so I changed the channel. It was a good Peter Jackson movie, but I thought the camera angles and long close-ups were a little weird. Naomi Watts was well cast; she's super pretty so she could handle all the crying/scared close-ups (half of the film was close-ups and half of the close-ups were of her). Adrien Brody was surprisingly charming as Jack. Maybe Peter Jackson is magic or something because I actually missed him when he wasn't on screen. I especially liked the quiet moments with Anne and Kong - Peter Jackson always has a way of making you feel the story. 
I loved the "beauty killed the beast line". Yay for classics! 

And yay, I finally started knitting my scarf. Hopefully I don't abandon it like I do with my other knitting projects. 
I should probably study for the AP test or finish hw, but I feel like I have senior-itis.
I'm not even a senior yet...



I've always wanted to post an entry titled "avril 14th" on avril 14th after the Aphex Twin song ever since I heard it.
Haha. Lame, I know, but it doesn't take much to make me happy.
