I never thought I'd enjoy today.
Star testing takes sooooooooooooooo long. D:
But other than that, today was a pretty chill day. Had some great convos in bio. (:
Totally made my day, you guys. Especially when we realized Castanos was listening to all this. LOL.
Mm, good day, good day. :]
Not much to say. Great days like this don't need to be blogged about in great detail.

Wooow. I sincerely hope I help him get at least a 3 on this test. >.> ;
I better get a 5 on this AP test. Gah. I really, really hope he gets a 3. That would make me feel so much better about myself.

The definition of Angela.
Oh yeah.
So Sandra showed me what my name meant on urbandictionary.com. xDD
1. Angela Small, short catlike person. Very easy to tease, but there's no reason to tease an Angela because they're very sweet. You can trust an Angela. Often, Angelas need a hug. Give your Angela a hug today.Aww, isn't Angela a cute little chibi-poo! x3
Angela: STFU ]x*<
And then afterward, Cyrus read it and gave me a hug. :]
Aha, thanks for the hug. :D
Y'know... the very easy to tease part is true ... D:
And the often needs a hug part. LOL.
Wow, to believe this is actually partly true.
Amaaaaaaazing.
Today was a good day. (:
Got home eeeeeeeeeeearly today. <3
Operation Omar Asks Nini to MB was accomplished today after school! (:
I got to be the WI. =D
Aha, it was pretty fun. Hung out with Omar, Nini, and Cyrus afterward. :D
And theeeeeeeeeeeeen, Daaaaaaaavis! :]
Waited 'til the bell rang and headed over to McCleary's (History) class. He wasn't there, so I went over to McCleary's (Science) class. Talked to (Science) McCleary for a while about school, life, college, etc. Ms. Lemus came in and was like; Angela Lam... Hey! You had Ms. Starks, huh? Haha. Then (History) McCleary came in and waved to me and smiled. Talked to them 'til Ms. Rawson came in at 3:20-ish? Then, we said our goodbyes and they left.
Aha, it was nice talking to them again, though. Even if I didn't tell (History) McCleary that Kylie still loved him.
"Tell Kylie to stop scaring the Davis kids! She was being too obsessive!"
Haha, yeah. It was nice. (:
And now I am hooooooome. With one math packet left to do, a bit of a case study left. Eh, they're not due 'til next week. :D
I am sooooooooo visiting Davis again one day. With Kylie, preferably. [x
But yeah.
Gonna just chill and (maybe) do some Chinese homework so I can go to that tennis game on Friday!
Laaaaaater. :]

Hot Hot Hot.
It's hot. D:
Well, today was hot. I love the coolness of the music hall. (:
I do not have OCD! - Arranges letters in alphabetical order in rows of 6 & erases stray marker marks around Kylie's message. -
Ahaha, I love wasting time in the music hall. (=
Especially with youuuuuuuu. <3
Even though you won't do homework. D:
Still, thanks for keeping me company. You're the bestest guy ever. :D
I loooooooooooooooooooove you. (:
If you read this, shame on you. You should be doing homework. D: D:
Aha. Hardly any homework today.
++ MY MOM'S LETTING ME VISIT DAVIS TOMORROW! WHOOOOOOOT! <3
But Jenny can't come with meeeeeee. =/
Ah wells. I get to see the McCleary's again! :]
Plus only 38 minute long classes? Whooooooooot! (:
Hmmm, not much else to say. Laaaaaater.

Random thoughts.
Hey, if you wanna join swimming, promise me something. Promise me that whatever happens, you don't talk about how you're better than them. Promise me that you'll go to the swim meets. Promise me that you won't get pissed off over the coach's decisions and use them as an excuse to quit. If you're gonna rejoin, you gotta enjoy it. Don't do something you don't wanna do. I guess you could say the swim team is like your child, and the child is holding its arms out, reaching for you to help them. Are you just gonna say, 'Eff you, losers. I'm better than you.' and leave the child to suffer? You can't let the child suffer. You gotta help it. Nurture it. Try your best to help it. Don't criticize it and support it 100%. These people are counting on you. Help them out, or don't rejoin. It's your choice.
And on a more positive note;
I loved your surprise hug today. (: It really made my day.
HA! I did get a 10 on that bio quiz. Whooooot! Eww, stupid math test. Freshmen need to learn to write better stories that make more sense. LOL. 91.7% in English. Is it worth extra credit? ... Naaaaaah. 8D
It was so hoooooooot after school. Music hall is always so cool, though. (: In both ways! =D
Lawl @ Ivy, Mark/Marc, Cyrus and the magnets in me & Kylie's locker. [x POKEMQN. Q? SHUT UP. IT'S AN O. Ahaha, fun fun fun.
23 points of extra credit? Awesoooome. 8D 66.6666666666%. With a vinculum over the 6! LOL. Vinculum. DUDE. IT'S NOT EVEN CALLED A VINCULUM. MR. RICHARDSON LIIIIIIIIIIIIED TO US! Vinculum is the line between the numerator & denominator of a fraction! D:
Mm, finished WHAP essays. Binder check? Ewwwww. D:
OH. GOING HOME AT 1:06 ON WEDNESDAY! DAVIS VISITING TIME? <3
Laaaater.

I'm sorry.
Hm. It's so weird, but every now and then, I find myself thinking about it. I really regret doing what I did. I know it was wrong, but I didn't know what I was doing. Yeah, that's not an excuse whatsoever. I'm sorry, but it's not like you care. It's been months. I feel like apologizing or trying to talk to you again, but I'm scared of what you'll do. I know it was wrong, and although you'll never read this, I'm sorry. I remember all the good times we had. I actually sort of enjoyed that class because you were there. Ugh. Just leave it to me to screw up every friendship I make. I gotta stop letting my feelings get in the way of my friendships, especially my good ones. I remember when Steven tried to get me to talk to you, to say Happy New Year to you. I know you've moved on and I know that you don't want me in your life. It's been bugging me randomly for so long. I know I shouldn't have. I know I should've at least tried to talk to you about it, tell you how I felt. Shoot. I feel so guilty. I know I shouldn't have done what I did. I feel like trying to talk to you about it, but I know you don't care. I know you don't wanna talk to me. I pushed you out of my life without thinking, and I'm sorry. Ha. And I can't even tell you. Instead, I'm writing it all out on my blogger. I truly do regret doing what I did. I truly am sorry. Why bother apologizing, though? You'll just push me away. I should just give up and get over it, but the guilt is killing me. Whatever. I give up. I gotta forget about it and move on. But I know, deep down at the bottom of my heart, I wish we were still good friends. It doesn't matter anymore. It was my fault that I pushed you away to begin with. I'm sorry, but I know I'm not going to do anything because I'm such a coward. Ugh. Maybe, one day, I'll be able to say sorry to you. And maybe, one day, you'll forgive me even though what I did was so wrong. And that one day will never come. I'm sorry. I really am.

Smart Club Movie Day / Hangout. (=
Julie, Brian, and An came over yesterday, and it reminded me of why they are my best friends.
We watched A Walk to Remember . Freakin' awesome movie. <3
I didn't cry, but it was so sad. I still like the book better, though!
Went to the park (Dude, there's like three Parkview Parks... I can't tell which one we went to. I think it was the second. lol.) and played tag on the ropes.
We got all bruised up and scratched and our hands stung for hours, but it was so fun. I love how around them, I'm not afraid to be myself, to be a little kid. Rope tag FTW.
"OWW. OWW. IT STINGS. D:" - keeps playing -
Aha, love those kids. (:
I love hanging out with them. I mean, I've known Julie and Brian since I was 5. They're like family.
"Dude, this is like my second home. I know where everything is. I can walk in and grab a cup noodle."
"Yeah, it's gotten to a point where if I see Brian when I come home from school, I'm just like; Oh hey, Brian. When'd you get here?"
Aha, yeah. I love those guys. :]
They're my second family. (:

Index card.
Hmm. When Harrison gave me that index card yesterday, this odd feeling came over me.
That index card made my day.
I miss being Harrison's stand partner, even if he bugged the carp out of me.
I miss those days, even if I was second flute.
I wish the flute section would get along better, but oh well.
Yeah, I really do miss being a second flute and being Harrison's stand partner.
Weeeeeeeeird. D:
Good times, good times.
Lalalaaaa.
Happy Birthday Omar, Sylvia, and Phuc!
Hmm. Not much to talk about for today.
Buzzer game thingy w/ Caitlin and Louie during bio! Fun, fun, fun. Stupid Louie kept adding extra facts for bonus points! D:
We might have a party in Spanish on Friday?! Aaaaaaaaawesome! <3
Cyrus died from getting cancer from microwave radiation! ;___;
Ate my lunch in Dee's class. "This or That?" game with Ivy.
"Moo-Moo or Kristy?" - Kristy looks up - "Kristy!" :D
Mr. E. kicked me out of IB music. "Don't take it personal. I have nothing against you personally. It's just when you're there, Hoang and Cyrus are too busy talking to you."
lol. Read a packet about WWI. I actually know a lot about it now, bwahaha. Janitor kicked me out so he could mop the floor.
Went to guy's tennis and watched Steven and Vincent play against Long and Kevin. Hecka interesting game. Talked to Joe about random things. [At least, I think his name is Joe...]
"I have an urge to pick up those tennis balls ..."
Diep and Michael say I have OCD. D:
"Michael! Michael! I can master the recorder! And there's a part in the song for recorders! Wanna hear me play it?!"
"No. I hate the sound recorders make. They're all whiny and raspy."
"Wanna hear it on the flute then?! :]"
"Sure."
Aha, hanging out with Michael and Diep is surprisingly fun. They're pretty awesome people. (:
All in all, pretty cool day. :]
Operation Ninja was fairly successful.
Well, at least my part and Macy's part.
We're oooobaaaaaaah ninja. |8|D
Aha, good day, good day.
Tuesday, April 7, 2009
I was NOT checking out guys. x-x ;
"You look like you're checking out guys from that angle!"
"Whaaaat?! I'm just watching tennis from afar!"
"You look like you're checking out guys! I'm telling Cyrus!"
"HEY! I'M NOT CHECKING OUT GUYS! I'M WATCHING PEOPLE PLAY TENNIS! D:"
Laaaaaaawl. Mr. Diep and Michael are awesome. Talked to them about TOK, Kristy and her obsession with reproductive body parts, evolution, ghosts, and a bunch of other stuff. They're fun to talk to.
Turns out the tennis game is TOMORROW, so I can't go to IB music. =/
And that means I'm gonna have to miss the track meet on Thursday for WHAP! >< ;
Siiiiigh.
I'll blog more later. Dinnaaaaaaaah.

Todaaaaaaaaaaay.
Today was alright.
I WAS ACTUALLY EARLY TO SCHOOL FOR ONCE! I BEAT THE FIRST BELL AND I BEAT KYLIE AND MR. E! =D
"MR. E! I'M EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEARLY! =D"
"I know you are! It's amazing!"
lol. I actually enjoy playing badminton w/ Caitlin, Neethi, and Adrian. Fun, fun, fun. Adrian and his backward serves and cheap drop shots. xDD
WHAP ... worksheets. D: No me gustaaaaaaa!
Bio was alright. Talked about drugs and how they affect you. It's amazing how many people do drugs / drink alcohol at Andrew Hill. I've never seen anyone. o-o;
Spanish ... Er... Videohistoria. "Do we get candy if we volunteer?!" Wether's Original caramels FTW. Finished Spanish homework in class, as always. And Kylie's did hers without my help! Whoot! Go Kylie! =D
Ew, math. Practice questions on the board. Learn Lagrange's error, gosh darn it! Error for alternate series is pretty easy, though. I hope I don't fail tomorrow! D:
Lunch! I just realized that I didn't give you any of my food. I'm soooooooorry. But I enjoyed talking to you about Spider-Man and all the other random things we talked about. [x
Baaaaaaand! Lament and Tribal Dances. Harrison always finds some way to avoid playing that recorder part. But I managed to play it. Whoot! Scheherazade is pretty hard ... Well, the 4th song, at least. I can play the 3rd! :D
English. Vocaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab 29. It WAS harder. D: D: D:
lol, communicated w/ Ivy via a piece of paper. Made up lyrics to the "math" version of Moo-Moo's theme song! LOL.
Minus b plus/minus squa-are rooot,
B squared minus four a c (stretch long e sound)!
All of that over two a (stretch long a sound)!
Fi-inds the eh-ex for meeeeeeeeeee! (:
Lawl. Quadratic formula to Moo-Moo John's theme song. =D
Hmm... What else did we do in English? OH YEAH. Mr. D. decided to show us a movie to teach us what innuendo was. Airplane porn. LOL. Kristy's reaction: O__________O HAHAHAHAHA.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, Mr. D. is oh so strange.
After school, baaaaaand room. Walked Cyrus to TOK. Decided to go back to the band room 'cause I didn't wanna wait for my mom outside. Apparently, he was there. And when he saw me, he quickly headed back to TOK. lol. And then ten minutes later, he realized that TOK was cancelled. He ran out the door, and then Mr. E. walked out of his office and was like; "Gosh Angela! Why can't you make him normal?! You were doing so well for a while!" And I was like; "I'll tryyyyyyyyy. He won't tell me something."
lol, it was pretty random.
Mm, I'm too lazy to un-BS my document.
Should I study for the history ap test? D:
- laaaaazy -
Ehhh. I guess I will. Here goes nothing. xP

(=
I absolutely hate cleaning, but I love the things I find when I do.
I found a bunch of old birthday cards and Christmas cards that totally made me smile. (:
Sometimes, I think I value those cards more than the presents themselves. I love keeping those cards and randomly reading them one day. It's so funny, but I get the most from An and Julie. I think that's all I really want for my birthday / Christmas. (=
Believe it or not, I really enjoy reading those cards and letters. =D
So whoever reads this, letters and cards for my birthday and Christmas, yeah? (=

Laziness.
I think the more sleep I get, the more tired I am. x-x;
13 hours of sleep and I'm tired, physically AND mentally.
For once, I don't have all my homework done yet, and it's past 5.
Ugh. Is this the infamous senoritis? Didn't Mr. E. tell us that didn't exist?
Raaaaaaawr. WHAP homework makes me sleepy. =/
To do the rest of my homework or to save it for tomorrow ...
I don't even know anymore. x-x;

You made my day. (:
I really enjoyed walking and talking with you today. I felt so comfortable, like I could give you my whole life story and you'd enjoy listening to it. Even if we wasted half an hour walking in circles, I'm glad I did, because I got to talk to you and spend time with you. That walk made me feel so happy and so loved. I am so glad I got to spend time with you today. It really made my day. And I hope it made yours, too. While we were walking, it felt like ... I don't know. Like I could tell you everything, but I still hesitated. You should know how much I love you. But I still cannot manage to get those words out. Still, thank you for walking with me today. For walking in numerous circles and around the school. For acting like a hobo with me and listening to my stories and telling me your own. I'm glad I got to spend time with you. I love you. (:
The Five People You Meet in Heaven
The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a freakin' awesome book. Best book eveeeeeeeer. Forreals. (:
Quotes, Quotes, Quotes:
"All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time."
"No story sits by itself. Sometimes stories meet at corners and sometimes they cover one another completely, like stones beneath a river."
"People think of heaven as a paradise garden, a place where they can float on clouds and laze in rivers and mountains. But scenery without solace is meaningless. This is the greatest gift God can give you: to understand what happened in your life. To have it explained. It is the peace you have been searching for."
"Fairness does not govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die young."
"All lives intersect. That death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed."
"When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are a part of a whole."
"Strangers are just family you have yet to come to know."
"No life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone."
"Time is not what you think. Dying? Not the end of everything. We think it is. But what happens on earth is only the beginning."
"His eyes are closing and he thinks he's leaving this world, right? Only he isn't. He wakes up the next morning and has a fresh new world to work with, but he has something else, too. He has his yesterday. The way I see it, that's what we're getting here, soldier. That's what heaven is. You get to make sense of your yesterdays."
"Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to. Little sacrifices. Big sacrifices."
"Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else."
"All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair."
"Sons will adore their fathers through even the worst behavior. It is how they learn devotion. Before he can devote himself to God or a woman, a boy will devote himself to his father, even foolishly, even beyond explanation."
"Things that happen before you are born still affect you. And people who come before your time affect you as well. We move through places every day that would never have been if not for those who came before us. Our workplaces, where we spend so much time -- we often think they began with our arrival. That's not true."
"Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them -- a mother's approval, a father's nod -- are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand; their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives."
"Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves."
"People say they 'find' love, as if it were an object hidden by a rock. But love takes many forms, and it is never the same for any man or woman. What people find then is a certain love."
"Love, like rain can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy. But sometimes, under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots, keeping itself alive."
"Lost love is still love, Eddie. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it."Quotes, Quotes, Quotes:

"No life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone."
"Time is not what you think. Dying? Not the end of everything. We think it is. But what happens on earth is only the beginning."
"His eyes are closing and he thinks he's leaving this world, right? Only he isn't. He wakes up the next morning and has a fresh new world to work with, but he has something else, too. He has his yesterday. The way I see it, that's what we're getting here, soldier. That's what heaven is. You get to make sense of your yesterdays."
"Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to. Little sacrifices. Big sacrifices."
"Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else."
"All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair."
"Sons will adore their fathers through even the worst behavior. It is how they learn devotion. Before he can devote himself to God or a woman, a boy will devote himself to his father, even foolishly, even beyond explanation."
"Things that happen before you are born still affect you. And people who come before your time affect you as well. We move through places every day that would never have been if not for those who came before us. Our workplaces, where we spend so much time -- we often think they began with our arrival. That's not true."
"Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them -- a mother's approval, a father's nod -- are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand; their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives."
"Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves."
"People say they 'find' love, as if it were an object hidden by a rock. But love takes many forms, and it is never the same for any man or woman. What people find then is a certain love."
"Love, like rain can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy. But sometimes, under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots, keeping itself alive."
"Life has to end. Love doesn't."
"Each affects the other and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one."
The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. I love this book. Srsly.

Pink Cow Productions Sections, Ampersands, Interrobangs, CORTs.
Oh! Ivy and I have made up new sections of Pink Cow Productions!
The Moo-tivating Section makes motivational cards + holiday cards,
The Moo-lah Collection Section collects money for fundraisers and such things,
The Moo-vies Section makes cool movies (Ahem, The Calculus Kid) [if we ever film it, xD],
And the Cow-culus Help Section that has a bunch of Calculus AB and BC help.
Amazing, huh?
We are so creative with our awesome CORT's. (:
CORT #2 today in English!
+ we discovered that the 'and sign' (&) is called an ampersand!
Ampersands look ugly in Trebuchet MS font. D:
Oh! And y'know how the computer says that if you have a "?!", it's grammatically incorrect? There's actually a punctuation mark for that! It's called an interrobang! LOL. Amazing, huh?! (There should be an interrobang where the '?!' is.)
It looks like: ‽
Freakin' amazing.

Tooooooooooodaaaaaaaaaaay.
Aha, I can't believe I felt so sad when I didn't see him at brunch.
Then, in math, Kristy (Kristi?) was like; Hey Angela, Cyrus says he's sorry that he wasn't there earlier. And in my head, I was like; Awwwwww, he cares about me. (:
At lunch, I was walking over to the band room, and Victoria was like; Angelaaaaaaaaaaaa! Cyrus was looking for you. You guys are so cute! (;
And I was like; - blushes - Shush, Victoria! xDD
Lunch just isn't long enough. I don't get enough time to talk to him. ):
He decided to sleep on my shoulder during IB music today, but then Mr. E. started talking about something important right when he did. Daaaaarn.
I learned a lot of cool stuff in IB music, though! (:
Declamation Air, Tuneful Air, etc.
Aha, he tried to hug me when I was about to leave, but we were both carrying too much stuff. [x
Luckily, my mommy didn't see. (:
And yaaaaaay! If I finish Chinese homework, my mom's gonna let me go to the swim meet on Friday! :D
And now, math homework, practice report, and Chinese homework. D:
