So today I found out my dad forgot to put his wallet back into his back pocket from work, that left me as the driver for the day. It started with going to my cousin's house for some mailed bills that my dad had to pay, but then it turns out it was a car insurance statement adding me into the bill and giving us a whole mess of "proof of insurance" cards. Then, since it was saturday I told me cousins that we should head out to the japan video game store and browse around. Let me tell you what, that place is hella expensive. $5.99 for a dinky little phone charm. $39.99 for a stuffed koopa plush. The prices were ridiculously unreasonable. After we left we went to go to the McDonalds across the street to buy some McChicken and a Large Fry for my grandma and us. Quickly go into the car and drove to none other then the Jamba Juice place at Fremont in Alhambra. The place was packed when we got in. I even say Tommy there, yes Tommy, the tennis playing Tommy. Small world. Anyways, Jamba Juice had a "buy one get one" free coupon for today and tomorrow I think. Cousins and I got 2 coupons which gives up 4 drinks. I ordered a banana berry for my dad, since he didn't like it too sweet, a red gummi bear for me, a white gummi for Danny, the oldest of my cousin, and a strawberry for Calvin, the younger cousin. Surprised when their orders came, because we ordered a original size, but Danny, and Calvin got The Largest size they had. I was like "WTH!" We ordered the same time and I get the smaller cup?! Bullshit =(
Went to their house, Mabel called that she was going to see the basketball tourney at Downey, so I played some Call of Duty: MW2 with Calvin, which I owned him on with throwing knives, and thats that part of the day. Came home, played with my new netbook that needs an extra Gig of ram since it's still pretty slow for a 1GB RAM, 250GB HD, and a 1.66ghz processor.
Talked to my dad about going to prom and yea... I guess I'll be going :P
blog out.

Implode.
I’m ready to blow.
I can’t take this shit anymore! I’m pushing my mind to it’s absolute limits. It feels like a big acheing pressure inside me that, if the wrong person comes along and gives shit to me, I’m just going to rip them apart like a fat kid through a twinkie packet. I don’t know what to do guys, I’m stressed emotionally, and my 18 years of tolerance is withering away like the top half of a running hour-glass. I’ve tried my hardest but ___ always brings me back… I can’t run away. I’m sorry.

Friday Night & Saturday Sights
So my weekend started Friday ahaha. It was pretty chill throughout the whole day and it was the same old, same old. When I came back home from school, it was about 6:15ish so I thought to myself "I need to get ready". Called Q, he was busy and I waited for him to call back. Dressed up and went out. Quyen "kenny" Khai voung is a very good driver may I add (: Picking up Leega, Ellen, and Ms. Birthday Girl Anne Yu. We went to this BCD Tofu House, I really didn't know what to expect >_<" Amy, Sidney, and William got us seats already since they were there first and we got seated and started looking at the menu. The Food sounded awesome actually. By Ms. Nam's expertise I ordered the seafood tofu soup which had shrimp, clams, and oysters. I just happened to order in very spicy so I was tearing up everytime I took a bite. The weird part was it was only spicy in the first bite, it mellows out after you chew <_<. Everyone ordered either mild or non-spice. I'm kind of tired due to my lack of sleep the night before so I'll have to say it was fun sitting next to amy nam, the whole night was a blast. I love tofu. Happy Birthday Anne Yu.
Irvine! 35min drive. Arrived at 9am. I walked by myself for a little bit into an empty social science structure and I feel in love with the peaceful serenity of the cascading waterfall and the feel of no one, isolation. Then that train of thought crashed with the sound of my parents. Looked around with parents and sister for a while then got a call from Anne, Ellen, Q, and William and I decided to go meet up with them and take tours with them. It was a pretty enjoyable experience despite the fact that Q and I were half dead and tired. Went on the tram ride, our bus was dead in spirit because we had, what looks like, up-tight parents and shy students. I think Q and I were the loudest in the bus >_<" and we were quiet for most for a good chunk of the bus ride. We then head off to see the dorms, or "residence halls" as they call it, but nether the less dorms. We saw middle earth first and it was pretty condensed? It wasn't spread apart like mesa. But they did have grills and 2 food court options. Mesa court on the other hand, I think everyone fell a little content when they compared the two that Mesa Court has the more Suburban feel. It didn't feel like dorms after a while or maybe that's because our tour guide was cool. I actually don't mind the extra distance if it means a better feel and a better over quality of living. The exercise is needed anyways to avoid the "freshmen 75" as the guide told us >_< We then, for the last part of the day went to see the bookstore where I bought a UCI t-shirt where I'll be wearing hopefully in a short time. I hope for the best.
end transmission.

What's on my mind
So This week has been a whole bloat of anticipation towards the 30th Asian Pageant at Verdugo and I was both excited, nervous, and serious about it all at the same time. Before our Spring break, I came up with the idea to do the Mario act and with the help of fendi, we started on it. I made the koopa and goomba that was used on stage, but that was it. After spring break, Fendi and I busted our ass off on choreography, stage hands, and prop designs. Thanks to Emily Tchang and a few other people, we got everything made on Monday, which was an eye opener. Fendi made the choreo the following day, but that still needed tweaking. Tuesday, we went up to see the rehearsals and to check if our props were properly made. Wednesday we basically had our final cut until Fendi, decides to finish the act instead of pausing it, but Thursday came, we practiced it and we got it done, but he forgot to give the final cut audio CD to Ms. Morrison. Speaking of Thursday, Wednesday night, Amy Nam asks me to be in the couples portion of the fan dance. I thank you Amy for the opportunity, yes I was hesitant at first, but I just told myself "they asked, so I'll grow some balls and do it". Shortly after I found out I was dancing with Sidney ahaha, o what fun (: I tried to get the moves down in one try, but failed ahaha. Those fans get confusing to open, gosh!
Friday came around, the one finally shot to pull out all the stops for the Asian Pageant. Practiced the fan dance, I missed one round, so sorry Sidney for she had to dance with herself, and them with Aileen >_<. Didn't eat lunch, had a juice. It was time. Back stage I was trying really hard not to loose it mentally and just started pumping myself up walking back n' forth. The couple's dance came on and I was like "lets do this, here we go." and once I stepped on to the spot lights. The rush of blood to my face and chest from the stage fright was incredible, I just felt all hot. Until, I looked over at Sidney, not looking at the crowd anymore, I felt more relieved. At the end of the dance I miss the freeze and Sidney followed, so kind of her hehe, and I just improvised, looked at the crowd, looked at Sidney, she said "o shoot I forgot" and looked back out and booked it out to the left wing >_< Felt light headed after that, but I had to rush and get dressed in all black for the Mario act. When it started, it started off well, until the middle to the end. It wasn't as I planned it, but hearing people's response, it seemed like it looked planned so I was feeling better, but still skeptical. The Mario act is over in my head, but the first stage fright from that dance is still being played over and over in my head today. Which leads me to the thing that's been on my mind.
So, the whole pageant was uploaded, people were tagged, and congratulatory wall posts spread like a wild fire. Mine in particular kept saying something in the lines of "you and Sidney's dance (plus ending) was cute!". Yup, that bugged me because I couldn't keep count of how many times people said it. I know it's a little childish, but I'm just being me. Jackie would probably give me a little lecture ahaha! But hopefully someone you get my point. Another thing has been in my head, Prom. Yes the annually Verdugo Hills Prom. I personally don't wanna go, but a part of me tells me otherwise. The reason I don't wanna go is just my parent's approval, they barely let me stay til 12 at homecoming and that was because I lied to them that my friends bought me the ticket and I didn't wanna not show up >_<, but in rationality I just wanna spend that time and money on something more subtle. But if push comes to shove I'll probably go just because it's my senior year, I got into a decent college, and it will be one of the last piece of highschool I'll spend with my friends that I care about.
On other news, My dad and I went to the Triple A at Alhambra to look at my quote to his car insurance policy and it came with surprised on how cheap it was. My one and a half year old driver's license combined with my good student driver discount and my dad's long member to triple A got me vehicle coverage (both my 96 nissan and my dad's 03' sienna) for about little over $400 per year so I was excited. Now I can drive anyone, anywhere, and until whenever :P But then my dad told me he'll start giving me the car around late May to June so that gave me a frown. In the post of Jackie's tumblr, it take a shit load of muscles to frown, but only 3 to bitch slap.
