its saturday...so technically, spring break is over. i have yet to do my homework...all i have to do is an essay on Che Guevarra...any takers? lol. ACTs are 2 weeks away. i brought my book to study over break but as i predicted, i havent even touched it. the only teacher whose actually bothered using the books is my algebra teacher. if you ask me, ACTs are crap! they dont test you knowledge. they test to see how fast and accurate you can take tests...thats basically it. i got a 19 on my practice test that i took in the beginning of the year. i'm disappointed cuz i actually tried. :( but i noticed that i got the last questions wrong, which is understandable seeing as though i didnt finish...whatever. oh yeah...and now...theres appparently a writing portion to the ACTs!! grrrrrrrrrr....just making my life more difficult.
anyways...so my spring break was good. more action now than i had in the past. lol (double meaning...no way to get around it >.<)
on monday and tuesday, i went to Fili's house to help him out on the video....damn muddy baseball field. but i had fun. i now like playing baseball...as long as i dont pitch. i'm afraid that whoever i pitch the ball to, when they hit it, its gonna hit me right in the face. i need one of them umpire masks to make me feel better. lol.
on wednesday, i went downtown to eat at chili's with the gang. twas 9 of us. Me Marvin Pablo Sparx Jerry Luis Liz Eric Andrew Fun times, fun times. execpt for when andrew was all mentioning ppl throwing up in each others mouthes while we were eating. that kid has to keep things to himself sometimes...seriously... -_-
thurs & fri i bummed around at home...playing video games...reading manga...watching loveless. i thank V for all the entertainment. <3
right now...we're (me, marvin, & alex) waiting for angie & zuly to get back from the store so we can go eat lunch...or dinner....whatever you call food thats served at about 4pm. i dunno what i'm gonna do the rest of today and tomorrow....most likely work on that paper for Spanish....and possibly look over my ACT book. as long as i dont have any distractions (good luck on that) then i'll be good. ^^
well...i'm just about done talking about my semi-interesting life. i shall talk to all yous later! peace ~
Once again...my dad just has to piss me off...as usual. He was complaining about how we ask for too many damn permissions to go places...which is nothing but BS!! These past weekends, all we do is sit at home and bum around. The only time anything interesting happens is when angie comes over or when sparx is over. Other than that, my dad just lays on the couch watching nothing but freakin movies all damn day.
But anyway...so marvin is at the movies right now, or more like he's on his way back at the moment. My dad was all like "Siempre quieren andar en la pinche calle con sus amigos. Ya estoy cansado de tantas permisos!"
And of course I had to go say something. I was like, what damn permissions? we hardly ask to go anywhere and when we do, you make a freakin huge deal about it as if its the end of the world!
His response was that "siempre quieren ir a sus pinches bailes" when we havent been to any freakin "baile" since like...november-ish when alex had her bday party. I'm just so fed up with how he always exaggerates things! He acts as though we ask for permission to go places every damn day!
Then he starts complaining about how we "damos mucha lata" So i said that if he didnt want any "lata" that he shouldnt have had any kids.
All he does is bitch about how all we do is bother him. And frankly, i'm starting to believe that thats 100% true. The other day he was bitching about how i should be coming home with marvin from school cuz its A)its too much trouble and B)we're just wasting gas. My mom tried to sugar-coat it by saying that its not that its too much trouble or whatever, but rather that he's concerned about me. So I'm thinking...if thats what he really meant, then that woulda been the 1st reason and it wasnt. therefore, my belief is that we're just a nuisance(sp?).
So then i bring up the fact that all he used to do was be out in the streets back when he was young, and that this one time, he didnt come home till some time in the AM and passed out as soon as he walked in. My grandma splashed him with water to wake him up. And i said that he should be happy that we're not doing anything of the sort, but no...he doesnt care.
Honestly, I think he doesnt appreciate us. All he does is complain about how we bother him and how we're a bunch of lazy asses. He never really has any positive things to say and I'm just sick of it.
I'm counting down the days till he leaves to mexico for good. Either that or till I move out. Whichevers good cuz I know that he's not gonna change the way he thinks any time soon.
Mr. Birdy died yesterday. He was old, so his time was coming sooner or later. Those birds only live for 8 - 10 years and Mr. Birdy was 7. Its hard for me because I've had him ever since he was a baby. I got him around this time too...between sept-nov. I can't really remember.
He wasn't like other birds who are deathly afraid of you. You could put your finger in his cage and all he'd do is stare at you and go about whatever he was doing. He never bit anyone. Not hard really...only when you wake him up but not hard enough that it really hurt. More like a pinch. Mr. Birdy couldn't bite to save his own life. Thus the reason why Zuly would call him a wuss. lol.
But its better that he wasn't an evil bird. He was always hyper and loved attention. Also a moocher. lol. Whenever he'd see me by the microwave, he'd always stare attentively. Whenever he'd hear the noise of a bag of chips, he'd start dancing and chirping until you gave him some chips. The same thing with beans. He could never have enough beans. ^^ He'd eat soup from my spoon all the time too. A very social bird he was.
Whenever I was mad or feeling under the weather, he'd always manage to cheer me up somehow. But now he's gone. The bird I'd grown so fond of over the past 7 years is no longer with me. I don't want to believe it but I have painful reminders to look at to reassure me that he's gone.
Part of me wishes I was there when he died, but part of me is glad that I wasn't, and I guess its better that I wasn't. Even though I wanted to have been with him, it would've been more painful. But at least he didn't die alone. My sister was there with him the whole time. And that alone makes me feel slightly better.
I know some of you must be thinking I'm crazy cuz it might sound like I'm thinking of him as a human. And those of you who are have never had a pet for 7 years who they loved dearly. Anyone who has a pet that means a lot to them, understands me.
I'll finish this by saying...May Mr. Birdy rest in peace. He was part of the family and will not be forgotten.
**I dedicate the song"Sotsugyou ~ Sayoara wa ashita no tame ni" Translation: "Graduation ~ Goodbye is for the sake of tomorrow" to my Mr. Birdy. The song is in japanese so here is the translation of the song.**
If you could be granted one, just one wish I wonder what you would wish for? Where are you now? Who are you with now? Looking up at the blue sky, I softly ask these questions.
With you, you who were right by my side then, aren't here With you, even though we promised that nothing would change even if we parted...
If this just becomes a memory, the warmth by my side will become unbearable. Breathing suddenly became painful. Fly, in order to reach you, far far away.
Certainly we are both not in your future. I've noticed that at last.
For me, you gave me who was lost, a push. For me, the sadness in your eyes was concealed by your smile.
If this turns into goodbye, I want you to be by my side, yes, thats why I muttered. I can't find a voice for my miserable feelings, In order for this request to at least reach you.
Setting off my unending feelings into the sky, Even if I'm alone, I'll still walk on.
The cherry blossom petals dance, like on that day, reflecting the dazzling light of my memories. Colorfully fly, with a painful breath, let everything about my feelings reach you.
If this just becomes a memory, the warmth by my side will become unbearable. Breathing suddenly became painful. Fly, in order to reach you, far far away.
So yesterday, the power went out at my school everywhere except the cafeteria. but anyways...it was around 2nd prd like at 9 when it happened. they said that we had to stay in our rooms until they got the lights back on which was fine with me cuz i was in vocal at the time. so an hour goes by..then two...then three...until we finally get to go to lunch. and we didnt do anything...at all..it was boring. but they werent letting us go home....bastards.
Today the all the power in the classrooms were out. and a lot of teachers were telling the students to go home cuz there was no power while some nazi teachers were all like..."get to class!!" and whatnot. it sucked cuz they couldnt agree on anything!! some want us here and some want us out. and it isnt fair to those who get stuck with the nazi teachers who'll bitch at you if you try to leave.
i woulda left before division but i have my div teacher for 1st prd so he had already seen me. *sigh* my dad was all like "why did you stay there if you guys werent doing anything anyway? You shoulda left" if only it was that easy...well it was yesterday but we were trying on our dresses for Advanced Choir.
but today...there were literally like, 5 ppl in 2 of my classes...so i called up my madrina laura during lunch (which was 5th) and i left. i had to make up some lie cuz the lady was asking why i was leaving. and the first thing that popped up in my head was that "uh..my stomach hurts" and laughed was like "your stomach hurts?" cuz i mean come on...oldest trick in the book. but then i got the sudden idea and i said "yeah...cuz you know...its that time of the month with the painful cramps" *cough*LIE*cough* she laughed but she believed it...cuz...its believable. its times like these i'm happy i'm a girl and can pull off these kinds of things. its freakin awesome! ^_^
So that was what happened these past 2 days. no work, no homework...nothing. and honestly...i'd rather be sleeping than be at school doing nothing anyway >.
I'ma try to post more often on Livejournal. and yeah...i know i keep saying that but um, i'ma try.
So...i finally got 2 of my many books yesterday. *sigh* that literature book is pretty heavy i tell you hawhat. and then we have to share lockers. its like...wow...hardly anyone had to share lockers last year. and it sucks especially for the ppl that get stuck with the ghetto gangbangers that'll steal your crap or tag all your crap up. it really sucks for them. *nods* i got a ghetto person that probably would steal my stuff but since i talk to him every now and then maybe he wouldnt. At any rate, i switched locker partners w/my friend victor and he wont steal my stuff. and he'll let me put my inuyasha posters up in the locker...just as long as he can put up some SOAD posters and OF COURSE i was like "hellz yeah!!"
it was funny cuz my friend monica is sharing with some guy named Greg. None of us know who that guy is but yesterday afterschool, Daisy was commenting on the winne the pooh stickers that some chick and put on the locker last year and then monica said "I'm gonna put all these girly pictures and make it the most girliest looking locker ever so that whenever he opens his locker, he'll get really embarrased and eventually move out." -lol...that wouldn't be a bad idea. *nods*
I finally watched one of the anime DVDs that Neto brought me. I watched X (made by the lovely women at CLAMP). It was pretty awesome and sad and pretty violent like...*stabby rip stab stab* violent. *nods* That just leaves...3 more DVDs to go plus the rest of Gundam Wing! ^_^ That should keep me entertained for a while.
UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...........*thinks*........oh yeah. Our Mexican Independence party thing was awesome. LOTZ of good food. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....food. now i'm hungry. so...i shall take my leave and find me some food. byes

lets see.....um........today was cool. i quit Cultural Kitchen for Colombia with my bitch-nazi spanish teacher, and joined Cultural Kitchen for Japan ! so its all good! but yeah. i got out of the meeting early today so i was hanging out in the lobby of my school with my friends and whatnot. and u see....for C.K. Colombia, we cant miss a single meeting or else we'd be kicked out. so...yeah, i'm kicked out. and my cousin taps me on the shoulder and asks me why i didnt go, and i was like "crap! we had a meeting today? i thought it was on wednesday! ::cough::lie::cough:: and she shook her head "no" then walked away since she was also on the phone. So...i'm still in the lobby when who do i see walk by? my vocal teacher. i was like "CRAP!! *turns around and hopes he wont see me*" (cuz i was supposed to go after school today for practice...i should've told him that i couldnt make it....my fault!) so he's just about to walk out of sight, when he sees me. and he calls my name and i was just like "crap!" and i turned around and he signaled me to come here. and all my friends were like "ooooooooo." So i walk over to him and he asks me why i didnt go to practice and i told him that i had a cultural kitchen meeting today. and he pretty much gave me the death stare. and i was like like "stop looking at me like that! *turns around and runs away*" and you know what he did?! the guy laughed! laughed! but then again, i guess it was pretty funny what with me running away. its like....we all imagine us doing that. with the whole "well...you see what happened was...*runs away*" so yeah. besides this, nothing else interesting happened to me today.
Me and Zuly bought KARAOKE REVOLUTION PARTY!! where you can sing AND dance! its pretty hard. cuz if you dont know the words to a song, you're reading the words so you dont pay as much attention to the steps you have to do, thus making you forget to dance. or if you're too concentrated on dancing, (like zuly) you forget to sing. but its still a lot of fun! i like the duets. theyre cool. oh and in this game, you get to customize your character. but that one chick that zuly has looks like a man. zuly even said it herself. a man head on a girls body. crazy.
my brithday is in 10 days! yay! it shall be my golden birthday! ^^ i dont think anything special will be going down. but yeah. its lands on a thursday and at this point i'm like...hoping that cristian doesnt have ms. mason announce to the whole lunchroom that its my birthday. the rule is, NO SINGING unless theres ice-cream cake. lol. but yeah, i'm excited for my birthday cuz then i can feel uberly special! ^^
i cant remember what day my mother sent my supbscription to Beckett Anime. i think its barely been a week. not sure. all i know is that i want it....now! cuz i'm getting an InuYasha action figure! ^_^
i could go for some starbucks right about now. *sigh* oh well. i'm bored. my room is a mess...i'd go clean it if i werent so damn lazy! why must i be lazy?! i dunno. its a curse i tell you!
i made a myspace account...but then gave up on it. lol. yeah, thats just the way i am. so yeah.
I'm SO happy the finals are over. They were a bit too easy. well some of them. unlike the finals that i took in the summer. i remember those being harder. i didnt really study much for my tests, only U.S. History. other than that, i didnt do much. My Vocal final was EASY! i got a 43/45 on the written part, and 24/24 on the piano part. and i only got 4 wrong on my American Lit final which is like a 92% or 94%. i cant remember. and i also got an 85% on my Geometry final. i probably would've gotten like an 89 or 90% had i felt like doing that one problem that was worth 5 points but i had to use the distance formula 6 times to get the answer. but i ran out of time so i was just like, screw it. its only 5 points. i think i ended up getting just 1 point out of the 5 i think.
but yeah. They're over with. I'm pretty sure that i passed them all. so its all good. i have a half day tomorrow with no classes. its one of them special halfdays. i still dont know whats going down for that day since my division teacher wasnt at school today. but yeah. i'ma go out and eat w/some friends.
i guess thats all i really needed to say. besides the fact that MY BIRTHDAY IS 22 DAYS AWAY!!! YAY! ^_^
i havent updated in a while. i might as well do it now. so....where to start?
i got my permit like on tuesday. i cant remember. but it doesnt matter. point is that i got it. so yeah. Finals are next week. Monday and Tuesday. i'm kinda worried about my U.S. History final but i think i'll get a passing grade. oh and i'm also rather worried about Geometry since i tend to forget how to do things. thats why i failed my alebra final in the summer. but i passed the class with an A so its all good. ^^
so yesterday, i stumbled upon the lyrics to an Inuyasha song called Aoki Yasei o Daite. its sung by Kappei Yamaguchi (the japanese voice actor of Inuyasha) featuring Satsuki Yukino (the japanese voive actor of Kagome) its a really nice song. i downloaded it ^^ i shall post the translation to the song.
~ Aoki Yasei o Daite ~
Today the sun still rises in the darkness, I was hurt, then it was like courage reawakened.
Although the darkness before us keeps coming, We'll face it, break through it, our strength together.
Now I know the reason I came into this world, It was to be with you.
There's no turning away as we go now, Free to do just as we please, Somewhere, there's the glittering of The sun we're longing for.
So then, along the same road we'll go, Breaking through the dark wild lands Hands that join together across time, Never letting go, let's run!
Without words, there are promises. These shared feelings, a powerful bond.
Showing everything, even weakness, it's a miracle; I'm here at the place I'd been searching for.
If I just have you at my side, Even against a thousand blades, I won't give in.
We won't accept what anyone tells us, And embrace the untamed wilderness. The sun, far in the distance, Is where we cast our eyes.
So then, along this long road we'll go, As the morning sun will surely rise, As I'm watching over you across time, We'll head for the light.
There's no turning away as we go now, Free to do just as we please, Somewhere, there's the glittering of The sun we're longing for.
So then, along the same road we'll go, Breaking through the dark wild lands Hands that join together across time, Never letting go, let's run!
i'm back bitches!! i'm SO happy! i kinda feels like i never left! funny thing how i wanted to go home almost every single day i was there, but come my last day en el rancho, i kinda wanted to stay a bit longer. my grandma was sad that we were leaving and so that didnt make me wanna leave. and then i finally talked to the guy i was trying to hit on. long story. i actually met him last year, but we never got to talk. and in the summer, we never got to talk either cuz i didnt go out to the plaza at night since it was just little ole me. and now that i went in december, leslie & jackie went so i hung out with them. so, when we'd see each other, it was still no talking, just a nod with the head. and then towards the last week i was there, he had just recently got a girlfriend. come the last day i was there, i talked to him for about 20min before he had to go and it went very well. theres another story behind this but i dont feel like talking about all this crap cuz i'm pretty damn sure that no one wants to hear it.
anyway, i saw this chick today at the airport, with an InuYasha messenger bag. i wanted it! it was the one with Inuyasha in his human form. i want an IY messenger bag but with IY in his hanyou (half-demon) form. i want a hoody too. not to mention the rest of the action figures and the forth move plus the rest of the series on dvd. oh and posters too. i can NEVER have too many IY things....never....
so when i got home, i opened up my progress report. i got a "C" in U.S. Hist. a "B" in Geometry, and the rest were "A's" i was surprised by the "B" in Geometry. i honestly dont see how i could get a "B" cuz it doesnt make too much sense. i only did bad on 1 test...which i got a 70% but yeah. i dont get it. but oh well.
i guess thats it for today. but lets just put how many days are left till my birthday and how many days are left till the last day of school.
i had some enchiladas today that my mommy made. they were yummy. and then i ate some limas. theyre addicting. but anyway, my cousins are going to...whats that place called....um....um....Paricutin. its this volcano place where you can go hiking through either on foot or on a horse. i wanna go! i've been wanting to go. hopefully my dad will let me go. but, i dont think he will. although, i dont see why he would care seeing as though its not like he's here to take care of me. last time i saw him was in the morning. its 6:35pm and i havent seen him since.....not surprising though.
nothing much has happened here really. there was some sort of band playing at the plaza yesterday. they were there cuz of something with donating some toys to unfortunate children since the Santos Reyes are coming and whatnot. i'ma put my shoe out tomorrow night and hope i get some chocolate or somthing.
i'm sad cuz i have yet to figure out a release date for the 4th InuYasha movie. i need a better computer. oh well. i'll figure it out eventually.
well, seeing as though theres nothing else to write about, i'm out. peace.
only 6 more days in this horrid place and then i shall be home! watching adult swim in my room, on my bed, with my stuffed animal! YAY!! i cant wait to go home. the only thing i'm not really looking forward to when i get back is having to clean up my messy room and doing a weeks worth of geometry hw in one day. oh yes. very fun.
but i still get to see my Mr. Birdy who i shall poke and give a kiss to when i get back. and threatening my fish that it better not die cuz i just bought it $5 food before i left. damn bastard *shakes fist angrily*
anyways, you can probably tell that i am bored over here, which i am. there arent any more posadas going down. so yeah...its boring. not to mention that i had my share of gross fat hoochie rolls. *shudders* ewwwwww
i finally bought the magaizines with my inuyasha posters. i was gonna get this one magazine that had a page with Inuyasha and Sesshomaru on it that said ''Inuyasha y Sesshomaru. Los Mas Sexys'' but there wasnt anything else interesting in that magazine. but yeah. i dont like reading in spanish. i honestly dont. thats why....I WANT MY MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION!!
**for all of yous that want to know, probably only Vianney, new InuYasha episode on Tuesday, January 3rd at 11:30pm.
Zuly goes home tomorrow. that bitch! lol, jk. it doesnt matter that she has to go to Florida the following day, at least she's leaving mexico and whatnot. she'll have something to do other than eat papas and pepinos all day.
which reminds me, i have a good answer for when someone asks me how my trip to mexico was. here it is
'oh it was fun! i spent my time sitting down at the plaza making fun of all the hoochies that walked pass. and then i'd also flip guys off. my day would go something like this. I'd wake up at 12, eat, lay on the bed some more until i finally decide to make it, eat some more, sleep, go to the plaza at night to eat and whatnot, then come back home and stay up till 1am.'
so how's that for an answer? pretty great huh? i think so. well, i'm off since i've been online for 2 hours and it ain't free. hope yall had a Happy New Year! later
