Probably one of the best days of my life.
Rode roller coasters for the first time in my ENTIRE life.
HAHA. I went with Soyeon and Jiyeon and so glad I did.
I can't believe we're still like best friends.
I had lost contact with them after elementary school and didn't talk to them for about three years.
Then, I saw them at church again and we got along like we did in second grade.
It's amazing how bonds we created when we were seven years old lasts nine years and still going.
We stayed at Knott's from 11:00AM - 8:00PM and rode mostly everything except some of the more scarier roller coasters like Boomerang and Montezuma's Revenge. We didn't get to ride Excellerator because it broke down :(
We were going to stay until 10:00PM, when Knott's closed, but we rode all the rides we wanted to about 2-3 times so we decided to go relieve more stress at norebang.
OH yes. Daein, his sister and SangHo came,too.
We sang to our hearts' content.
Then we went to eat a Guppy's. HAHA. We talked some more, played some more, ate some more.
It was a whole day of playing.
It was a day of eating whatever I wanted.
It was a day of trying new things and overcoming fears.
It was a day of doing my favorite things.
It was a day of hanging out with my friends.
food + accomplishment + singing + dancing + friends
can the day get any better?

Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you,
they're supposed to help you discover who you are.

Life is like an onion:
You peel it off one layer at a time,
and sometimes you weep.

Growing Up

Work hard, Play hard
I had forgotten what that meant...
Even if I fail, if I give it everything I got,
then I can fail without regrets.

I don't want to grow up.
sigh.

Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. - Walt Disney
tehee.

"Sometimes I wish I could go back to the days when I was six and my biggest problem was what kind of dress to put on my Barbie's or whether or not I had enough Lego's to build a fort."

"Remember when you thought boys had cooties
when friends were new, dreams were un-shattered and worries few
when recess was too short and life was too long
decisions came easily without need to belong
when storks delivered the babies and passions weren't so strong
friendships were un-broken
right was right, and wrong was wrong
when bad things didn't happen
when only skinned knees brought tears and the night light in it's socket quieted all our fears
when farewell meant just for summer and real friends didn't part
the fun went on forever and never left a broken heart."

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back."

Junior Debut

Excited to go to school?
If I think about it, I kinda am :)
HAHA. I must've really gone insane during summer but I'm pretty psyched to see everyone again as upperclassmen.
I really want to stay underclassmen and hang out with upperclassmen but it looks like I'll be starting to play with the little ones x3
Of course scared stiff about AP Chem, Enlgish, etc. but I'm pretty excited to graduate, too, though I'll miss everyone.
So many mixed feelings.
I don't have a lot of times where feelings are black and white.
It's always gray but with a spectrum of colors :)
HAHA.
I already miss people.
This next year, it'll be filled with both tears and laughter.
I have to remember August 31st, the first day of school.
Because by June, it'll probably feel like the rest of the 9 months was the first week of August.
Tears & laughter; you can't know happiness without a little rain.

A heart is just two teardrops upside down.

College Kids - Relient K

someone please save us, us college kids!
what my parents told me is what i did
they said go to school and be a college kid
but in the end i question why i did

i'm poor, i'm starving, i'm flat broke, i've got no cash to spend
sell all my books for front row tickets to dave matthews band
my girlfriend's at another school, i know this year will test her
i called, found out she had three other boyfriends last semester

and that's why i say
oh no! not for me, not for me
call it torture, call it university
no! arts and crafts is all i need
i'll take calligraphy and then i'll make a fake degree

80 grand later i found out that all that i had learned
is that you should show up to take your finals and your midterms
the party scene is kinda mean, i think it's sick and twisted
the navy showed up at my dorm and claimed that i enlisted

and that's why i say
oh no! not for me, not for me
call it torture, call it university
no! arts and crafts is all i need
i'll take calligraphy and then i'll make a fake degree

don't get excited. she'll say "no" without a doubt you see
and i've decided college girls just won't go out with me
they make me nervous and they always catch me off my guard
like cell phone services i drop out cause college is too hard

it's time to call my father
cause it's his alma mater
good grades aren't what they seem
i think he knows the dean
it's time to call my father
cause it's his alma mater
he says he's proud of me
but college always was his dream
and i would always say it's not for me

oh no! not for me, not for me
call it torture, call it university
no! arts and crafts is all i need
i'll take calligraphy and then i'll make a fake degree

someone please save us, us college kids!
what my parents told me is what i did
they said go to school and be a college kid
but in the end i question why i did

do what will make you happy
do what you feel is right
only but one thing matters
learn how to live your life

Two lefts don't make a right,
but three do.

July 25:
Kiwanis pancake breakfast with KEY CLUB <3
I haven't served in a while and I was really happy to be back :)
Butler came along HAHA
Went to Beach Boomba.
Love Hunington Beach waves but the beach itself is really dirty.
Kinda boring but w/e.

Life is unpredictable.

Lies & Plans

Everyone lies but can we say some don't mean to?
I feel like if I don't want to hide things anymore
and say I hate lying would be very hypocritical.
I don't trust myself to stop lying.
But just because everyone does it doesn't make it right.
It's not right but it's the easiest way out... for now.
===================

YAYYY! Key Club meeting today
and time to go PLAY! :DDD

Wants

If I asked, I could probably get
a brand new car and a macbook
but where the heck are my parents pulling all the money from?
we just remodeled the garage and made a new attic
and they still want to redo the backyard.

They never tell me our financial situation
or any bad situation for that matter.
So I don't want to ask for expensive things.
I don't really NEED them, just things that I want.
yeah, I won't die without them.
I don't even deserve those things.

maybe why incentives never worked on me
was cuz my parents eventually bought me everything I wanted.
I have a laptop AND a printer as a bonus, an iPod, a credit card the biggest room in the house, a king-size bed, a couch in my room, and a bay-view window.
Listing these things really makes me feel spoiled. haha.
I did ask for the room because of the window
but through luck we ended getting the bed and the couch as hand me downs.
my mom gave me a credit card because she was too lazy to give me cash. HAHA.
I really do have a lot! O_O didn't really realize all of it until I wrote it down.
well that settles it.
my next laptop is a Dell. half the price of a mac (dayum thats a lot)
