DAY BEFORE TURKEY DAY wednesday, all of us friends...from different schools: silver creek, mount pleasant, independence...we all had a pre-thanksgiving dinner at our friend william's house. it was nice. the only thing that sucked was that i had an ortho appointment 4 hours earlier, so my teeth were hurting, which restrained me from eating like a pig. =\

FATE the past few days, when i've had time to myself, i've spent it lying down on my bed, contemplating on the many factors that have an effect on my life. i thought of all the worst-case-scenarios that could occur: the absense of a parent, the absense of my friends or my boyfriend, failure in life, lonelyness, emptyness. overwhlemed with emotions, i cried and cried, knowing how they can all affect my life profoundly, scared that i'll never be the same.

my dad. i don't talk about this with people and i know not many come here anymore. i never know when that time will come when my dad passes on. at this time, we don't talk much. i seclude myself in my room. i barely talk to him much. i remember the days when i was little...i'd spend all my time with my daddy..watching wrestling together, watching his favorite shows: price is right, jeopardy, whell of fortune, the lawrence welk show, night rider. i remember watching lawrence welk, seeing a tap dancer perform. i took my shoes out and tried tap dancing. i remember his smile and laughter, watching his daughter make a fool out of herself. i remember when we'd go in the backyard, building things he'd make for the vegetable garden, teaching me how to hammer by holding the nail and guilding my hand.

i'm scared someday i'll come home and my daddy won't be here. you can't bring back someone..they won't physically be in your life anymore...but they'll be in your heart forever. i can't bare to imagine how life would be without my daddy. it brings me to tears to just glance at the thought.

many memories i've had with my dad..memories that i want to stay with me forever. i want to rekindle that relationship i had with my dad. i want to be a daddy's girl again..

AWW..WHAT A SURPRISE today, me and jd went out. we just went to turn in applications and window shop as usual. after i came home, i layed in bed, watching whatever channel was on. As i was dozing off a bit, the phone rang. They asked for me, and asked if i remembered who it was. i didn't really recognize the voice, so i was a bit scared since the person was saying that they were my buddy. so finally, i found out who it was....it was FREDERICK! awww! what a sweetie. at first i didn't believe it was him, so i asked him questions that he would know. he said the others that he called up couldn't believed he called either. anyways, he called up just to say hi and see how i was doing. i seriously thought i would never talk to him till he was done with his ARMY thing. anyways, we just talked about stuff. bootcamp is exactly what it looks like on tv. i'm glad he got through it. he's coming to visit on thanksgiving and christmas vacation. hopefully i'll get to see him.

OH MY GOD!!!! so senior year. we did fundraising earier in the year like i said. everytime you sell a box of candy, you get a raffle ticket. so today was the SENIOR RAFFLE. i decided not to stay for lunch, so i just went home as usual. i thought if i won, they can give me the prize later. plus, when i do participate in raffles, i never win ANYTHING. well, as i was doing my homework, justine gives me a call. it turns out I WOULD'VE WON A FREE TICKET FOR OUR SENIOR GRAD NIGHT!! AH!!!! they called my name, but you HAVE TO BE THERE in order to get it. so if i stayed at lunch, i wouldn't have to pay 200 bucks for my grad trip! before i left school, i thought to myself how crazy it would be if i won the trip. AHHHH!! i'm SOOOO TRIPPEN!!!!!!!

ENGLISH CLASS SUCKS so the english work is pilling up more and more. in class, he asked a question. "who feels comfortable with making a wepage?" I, along with others, raised their hand. i thought little of it. i thought wrong. we're doing another project and we have to make a webpage. sooooo, everyone that knows how to make a webpage has to be in a group with those who can't. ARGH. this project was assigned on thursday and will be due on wednesday. DAMNIT! not only do i have to research, but i have to put it together and make it look pretty. rar.

we're also in the process of finishing a literary analysis and writing our personal statement. not to mention our friday vocab tests and enrichment reading. BLAH MR. SEAL!

UNION LANDING before i got my license, i raved to Justine how we should one day, go on an outing to UNION LANDING (in union city), a big place which has lots of food places, century theaters, WALMART, and other stores. more than a year later, the day has finally come. today, me, justine, jd and rachel went on the outing. first stop was JOLIBEE. you see, there is no jolibee near san jose. the nearest jolibee is in union city, about 25 mins from san jose. i got my spaghetti and they got theirs. MmMm.

we went to movies and watched THE RING. FINALLY! oh man...i was more scared of watching the movie than i was when i was watching it. i've heard lots of hype from people. that pretty much scared me. everyone who've i've heard watched the movie said they were scare to death. now that i watched it, it's not as scary. i mean, the content is, but it doesn't really stay with me. they say you're scared to watch tv after you watch it, but the first thing i did when i came home was turn on the tv.

for dinner, we ate a TGI Fridays. as i was going to find a parking space, we saw an old couple walking out. we pointed and said they had a parking spot. i backed up and noticed there was another car coming in the opposite direction. AHH! they were gonna steal the spot! but the old couple kept walking, and the man gave up. then the couple turns around and walk to their car! aWWWW!! they tricked the other car so that i can get their spot!!!! what a great couple! the foooooooood.. mmmm. ribs. me and justine shared a jack daniels meal and so did jd and rachel. for dessert, we got a brownie thing. MMmM gooooood.

trying to get out of the parking lot, i got lost. you see, this was the first time i went to union landing without my cousins giving me directions to get out, so i got lost in the BIG AREA. finaaaalllly...i found the exit for the highway. turns out i made a HUGE circle. i went all the way around the center, when the exit was just a few feet away....argh!

but yes, my day was good. battlefest 2.0 is happening right now. usually i'd go, but i'm not as hyped. plus, i do not like driving downtown. i bought an olive green sweater at walmart for only $8 something!!! woooohooooo!! i love cheap stuff!!
