Memories of 2008

This year has given me a lot to look back on. A LOT

First of all, the D.C. trip
AMAZING!
That trip changed a lot of things, although all of the 2008 class of JMS are basically just finding about them now. Well, at least, I am.
I feel sorry for the rest of them who missed out.

Second of all, promotion from 8th grade
That would have been one of the best moments of my life if it weren't for that stupid speech I had to do. That was sooooooooooo embarrassing especially when I messed up...Oh god.. Don't even want to remember
The crazy round of photos and hugs made memories that will last for a long long time.
After tat was enjoyable though because of the lunch with Karen, Jennifer, and norm. But that's old news.

Then, it was Nationals
Who knew it could be so enjoyable and that I would now have so many memories to look back on?
The summer at Florida and Indiana for those two almost three weeks was AWESOME! I had so much fun (although Liane worked our butts off).
Looking back now, it is hard to think of the work we put in, but mostly the feeling of success of having made it on the International Cup Team to go to Australia..
It is the most exhilarating feeling.

After that was Taiwan.
Meeting my family there after so long (5 years) was kind of awkward, but after a few hours on the first day, my cousins and I were acting as we were before when I came to visit.
I think I did enough shopping there to last me a long time! =)
I can't wait till the next time I go back.

Now, it's high school and 9th grade.
They say freshmen year is easy, but if it's this hard now, who knows how hard it's going to get later on?
That's enough said..

I can't wait until the clock turns 12
~Welcome 2009!!~

Talking

Haven't you noticed that the hardest thing for us to do is talk to other people about what we really feel? Even if they are our closest friends, we still can't seem to tell them everything. Although we can tell them some things that we can;t tell other people, but there are just some of those things that we don't tell them.
It's frustrating for me because even if I wanted to say something, I can't. The words just don't come out of my mouth. Ever have that feeling?
You think I want to say something... but you don't. Then you regret your decision not to say anything, but the next time a moment presents itself, you still can't say anything.
Is it really that hard for all of just to tell the people closest to us how we feel?
Would that be too much to ask?
I would feel better knowing something because that person had that much trust in me to tell me. Your confidence in your friendship drops if your friend doesn't tell you anything or don't confide in you.
I HATE that feeling

Journeys

Everyone has somewhere they want to go, no matter where it is. We each wish to be able to travel one place. Some of us may even have a list of places that we want to visit before we die. I'm one of those people,but I'm not old at all, I can tell you that for sure. However, I do want to be able to visit many places before the inevitable happens. Life is basically a journey with us choosing the way we want to go, whether it is right or wrong. Trips to places we have never seen before just adds life to the blandness of each of our normal routines. Trips, for example, to our nation's capital. There is obviously something that brings me to say this, but you will just have to find that out for yourself. I wish that I have a chance to fufill my own dream of visiting the many places we all wish to see.

Braces

Braces are extremely painful. This is a hint to those who have not have them before and need them; this is just a warning to you. I feel it is my job to inform you that just the process before actually getting your braces is harsh. Then there's the chance that your orthodontist have to pull out teeth to be able to move some of your teeth around. You will feel that pain in your mouth hit right after the numbing medicine wears off. I know I did. Although I may be exaggerating just a tad, I am saying the truth. Lolz polarjelly, you must be thinking is this girl not thinking at all? Well, anyways, braces are just a hassle and annoying,but then this just depends on how long you need to have them which basically saying it depends on how bad your teeth are. lolz :P If they are extremely bad and you get them really late, you will just ahve to live with them through high school and if your luck or should I say your teeth are that bad you could have ti when you're in college, but then it all just counts on you. :)

Life Choices

Who knew it would be so hard to decide what you want to do when you grow up? It was always so easy when we could just say something like a teacher or a doctor when grown-ups asked ,"What do you want to be when you grow up?" We didn't have to think about it or how that would affect us when we grew up. Thinking about all the choices I have to make now just makes me have a headache. It is so complicated. You have to make the right choice for yourself and your career if you want to live happily in this world of a capitalist economy. Choices, choices, and more choices. They just want to swamp you with all these booklets about how you can do this or you can't do that, when we have enough things to worry about already without having to know that we have even more things to worry about. However, it is a good things to know that we have options that we can choose, but then that is also the problem. We have so many things to choose from that you don't know what to pick. It is like trying to pick out a lollipop when you like all the flavors they are offering you. It is amazing the trials that we all have to go through to be successful. We have to choose classes in high school that will benefit us when we grow up and enable us to go to college. We have to make the right choices about who we hang out with so we don't get dragged into the wrong crowds. Each and every thing you do can affect you in the future. If you have no organization skills now, guess whose going to have a hard time with time management when you grow up and have a full schedule? Choices, choices, and more choices. Each one will affect you for the rest of your life.

Reminder of Project no matter how weird it is :P

This is my way of reminding myself to do my Spanish project since it's on these characters. Yes weird I know.. Japnese character for a Spanish project, but oo well..

Persuasiveness

Everyone needs to be able to be persuasive unless you never want to be able to have someone help you with something, do something for you, or something like that. For example, polarjelly just convinced a friend to get a blog.With no persuasion skills, she would not have been able to convince him to get a blog... Well.. letters are a great way to express yourself to somebody and also to persuade., but writing one is such a pain! It takes forever and you actually have to back yourself if you want that person you are writing to to believe you. The art of persuasion.. Everyone needs to learn and master it.

Life Energy

Right now, everyone is like talking about green and persay the green team. Well.. it's all just talk. Like the saying, Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk. It's amazing what people claimed they want to do, but they will never do and I do admit, it's the same for me. Let's just use the example of global warming. People say that whatever one person does to help can make a difference and then the next moment, you see them climb into their car to drive to a place that is easier to get there by walking or someone throwing a piece of trash into the storm drain. That is what I like to call irony(and yes it was not my invention). I believe that everyone needs to do their part to help our Earth and yes I'm just using this as an example of our very unthoughtful ways and for how idiotic most of us are (not including me of coarse). However, there are people who do do something to make a difference and for that, I honor them. Thank you for showing those other nations who seem to think that Americans are just fat, lazy people who sit in front of their TV. Lives depend on each and everyone of our actions. So now, everyone, just think twice before you climb into your car to drive some place extremely close or before you throw your trash onto the floor( I don't think you want to be fined either).

Obsessive Reading

Everyone knows this about me... I read like crazy! I read like who knows what.. I don't read anything crazy though, although some of my friends would disagree. I think that there is a difference between obssessive and just liking and i definitely crossed that with reading so much.. I even have this nickname that I'm not going to say because anyone who reads this is going to be calling me that which would not make my life any better. Well.. anyways. have you noticed that there are tons of books that are made into movies? That's the same with anime and manga.. Manga is the book and anime is like the movie. And right now my favorite genre of writing is manga!! definite awesomeness and the reason for my continued addiction to reading just about 24/7.

New blog!!

go and chec it out!! its awesomeness! and excuse the weird name.. norm and i wanted something different.. and yes.. im going to reserve to aim talk because i dont want to type as much as i usually do.. cause im just too lazy lolz :) so anyways link is http://dadoxylon.blogspot.com/ hope u enjoy! lolz and its still under construction. polarjelly, is it okay that I post this now?

Stress

Great..... more homework.. What a joy! All of this just addds stress to my day.. ( and no i didn't make it rhyme on purpose) Who knew just being a 13-yr old girl could be such a time consuming thing? With the drama about your social life, to worrying about your grades, it is seriously not a fun thing..wel.. and then add extracurricular activities like baton twirling and band and who know's what else us kids do these days, then you add more stress because then you have to worry about all those other things since you have to think about all those things! Imagine trying to go to sleep ,but you can't because all those thoughts connected to all those things are crammed into your head and you are trying to memorize the new baton routine in your sleep, reminding yourself if you missed any homework, and remembering all the commands to yell to those incompetant classmates of yours during band class, then you SERIOUSLY can't get some well-deserved sleep.

Long long time..

It has been a long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long (i think u get the point) time since i have posted lolz. :D I guess that makes it all the more interesting and as norm says she's getting bored of the shopping being the first one... so this is dedicated to her! so i don't bore her to death and then i have to attend her funeral and lay daisies over her grave :P And she would probably think this is extremely weird since we are both talking about homework just because she's on speaker wel.. still extremely weird.. and hopely she won't die of boredom now since i posted something new.
