|
|
|
|
| ok... ima remove peter's poe essay... it's been on here for a bit toooooooooo long... plus it's making scrolling down to old posts a bit difficult and time consuming for me... so it's still on the internet if you people wanna see it (although i don't know exactly y you would... hmmmmmm... whatever floats your boat i guess) it's pretty well written... but i think lauren and him did some late night tweaking (woah... that sounds bad...) they talked it over... ok... that's clean! lol... wow... ok... if you wanna see it... click here |

ROCKY ROAD ICE CREAM and CLUB CRACKERS w/ GOOBERS-N-GRAPE... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh... SUGAR BINGE!!!! i'm all for it... sucks that i'm not blogging and you can't get all the juicy gossip from today... but oh well... SWEETS! GIMME... |

Finished the Letters book... it was really really good... it's so crazy how those two are so alike... and it's even more crazy how i can relate to them! thought this quote was blogworthy... enjoy!
True love is visible not to the eyes, but to the heart, for eyes may be deceived.
so ya... the book isn't truly biographical... purely fictitious but with really really really good support (annotations are quite interesting actually... excerpts from Jackie's "Purple Diary" and Marilyn's psychoanalysis dialogues... good s#!t) hmmmmmm... i had to detach myself from it really... cuz i''ve got strong biases... (GOV!!!!) anyways... it's kinda funny how they played on each other the whole time... idk... seeing it from both perspectives... those two are hella funny! and wow... the power of friendship is way more powerful that the ever-alluring JFK! *ahem* JFK *ahem* *long sigh* it's really a good girly book! i lost track of time... what with David Gray music in the background (be mine & freedom & last boat to america... top 3 of that album) and no interruptions from family... i finished it in 4 hours... and i enjoyed every minute of it... |

new song... got tired of that girl's voice... What's Golden - Jurassic 5
What's Golden?
[Zaakir]
Check it out now...
I work the pen to make the ink transform
On any particular surface the pen lands on
The camera stands on, what's the beef?
The Cooley High cold chief high post techniques
I drape off poetic landscapes and shapes
Illustrate the paper space off the pens that paint
Then design what have a National Geographic a magic
With Taylor made status and plus favored is automatic
[Chorus]
We're not balling
We take it back to the days of yes y'all-in'
We holding onto what's golden
On a stage I rage and I'm rollin'
We're not balling, or shot calling
We take it back to the days of yes y'all-in'
We holding onto what's golden
On a stage I rage and I'm rollin
[Marc 7even]
Melancholy mundane so I tame the hot flame
Big rings, fat chains, and y'all quest for the same
No name, use fame, strictly new to the thang
We stay true to the game and never bring it to shame
We tight like dreadlocks or red fox and ripple
We pass participles, and smash the artist in you
The saga continues, this I won't get into
'Cause there ain't enough bars to hold the drama that we been through
[Akil]
Yo...
We still the same with a little fame
A little change in the household name but ain't too much changed
We in the game but, yo not to be vain
I refrain from salt grains to season up my name
We entertain for a mutual game from close range
Steady aim, drum at your head to hit the brain
I'm labor ready, Rhode Scholar for the dollar
Work for mines pay me by the hour
[Chorus]
[Charli 2na]
Yo...
Well, it's the verbal Herman Munster
The word enhancer, sick of phony mobsters controllin' the dance floor
I been in dark places, catch you when you stark naked
Your heart races as we pump you for your chart spaces
The taut taces be bringing these hot styles through
Some of you bum a few chairs from shock value
Word power can plow through acres of cornfields
Paragraphs cut like warm steel, perform ill...
[Chorus]

so i was working on lauren's orlando bloom layout... when i happened to come across this LOTR's page... and it had a really nice poem on the main page... thought it was blogworthy.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king. |

Easter week has been very good... real busy lately... lots to do and think about... *sigh* i can't believe i'm gonna graduate in a month and a half... it's KERAYZEE!!!! but i'm sure college will be awesome...
and on another more personal note... I'M NOT CONFUSED ANYMORE... I THINK I'VE FIGURED EVERYTHING OUT... well for myself that is... i know how i feel... i've known since... well that doesn't really matter... it's never changed... the important thing is that I know... but does he? that's what I think has confused me all along... not so much of what i feel inside that's confusing... but that i can't exactly decipher his feelings all the way... cuz it's never been about me... it's about him. so ya... i think i need to talk this over. we need to talk this over. no more of this third party business (no offense)... we keep talking around each other... asking around... never direct. but the direct thing didn't really work out too well the last time... i got all wound up in my family problems that i think i might have blown him off... eek! that probably wasn't a good thing to do... and it's not like the metaphorical stuff scared me... cuz it didn't and it was extremely valid and on the need-to-know and it was genuinely him... but i think i just wasn't in the right state of mind... stupid timing! and then again... timing is a huge part of it too... and the fact that i've got so little... and when i do... it's at like 10:30 PM along with everyone else... maybe i'll have more time once things start winding down... but then we're graduating... and it's summer... and it's college... OMG! idk what to do... about him...
this is why i didn't get caught up with boys freshman, sophomore, and junior years huh? argh. but i wish i had... i would've had more time... but would i have been mature enough? why does the maturity kick in now? why not last year? oh ya... it did... but that wasn't a focus in my life then... (ah... 4th day talk...) it's crazy how things can totally change in the course of a year... of a semester (switching places... lol)... or just grow... i wonder why i didn't clue into this last year? oh wait... haha... i remember... damn. asian people.. lol... ok... i'm not making sense anymore... time to go. |

ok... so i got a new cd too... The Instigator - Rhett Miller... i like it... good lyrics... some of the songs make my heart go... "mmmmmmm"... like that dropping feeling you get when you hear something really sweet... ya... good music... but jamie stole it away from me so she wouldn't have to hear it anymore... =(
aside from that... i've been listening to eden's crush again lately... have you heard Glamorous Life... it's a Shiela E. revival... ya kno... from the 80s... ah i loved the 80s... anyway... i [heart] those lyrics... i connect... i hear her... love--it's glamorous
Glamorous Life - Eden's Crush
She wears a long fur coat of mink
Even in the summertime
Everybody knows from the coy little wink
The girl's got a lot on her mind
She's got big thoughts, big dreams
And a big brown Mercedes sedan
What I think this girl, she really wants
Is to be in love with a man
She wants to lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much
She saw him standing in the section marked
"If you have to ask, you can't afford it" lingerie
She threw him bread and said "Make me scream"
In the dark, what could he say
Boys with small talk and small minds
Really don't impress me in bed
She said I need a man's man baby, diamonds and furs
Love would only conquer my head
She wants to lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much
They made haste in the brown sedan
They drove 2 55 Secret Street
They made love and by the 7th wave
She knew she had a problem
She thought real love is real scary
Money only pays the rent
Love is for ever and that's all your life
Love is heaven sent - it's glamorous
Lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She's want to lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much
She wants to lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much, it ain't much
Lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much, it ain't much
She wants to lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much, it ain't much
She wants to lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much, it ain't much
She wants to lead the glamorous life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the glamorous life
Without love, it ain't much, it ain't much

| eeeeeeeeeeee... new book... The Secret Letters of Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy... OMG!!!! when i saw it at borders yesterday... ahhhhhhhhh... that's MY BOOK!... lauren knows why!!!! muahahahahahah.... i feel for Jackie O... did you know that i'm Jackie! haha... (inside joke) hmmmmmmm... ya... lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol... eeeeeeeeeee... god... all i can make are girly sounds... eeeeeeeeee... but ya... very intriguing thus far... i like it... good boy advise... although i'm not too sure how well it worked out for her... oh well... oh... and i thought that this is worth blogging about --> "You asked why I never tell Jack that I adore him. I don't restrict that maxim to Jack. Before we were married, I employed the identical tactics with all my other beaux as well. You will not be in the least bit surprised, I know, if I tell you that my tactics were dictated by my father's advice on how to attract a man, how to seduce a man, and how to keep a man. Through the years, I have found my father's advice to be infallible--I know that he would be immediately flattered were I to share them with you. Please know, however, that you are the only other woman to whom I would ever dream of entrusting such valuable information, but because we are now firm friends, I do so in the knowledge that you will keep it entirely secret.... blah blah blah... she goes on to list her 10 "tactics"... the last one though... idk if i totally agree... well right now i suppose i do... but down the line... way down the line... idk... so yeah... here it is: *drum roll* --> 10. Never reveal all your thoughts and feelings to a man. hmmmmmmmm... ya... idk about this jackie-ism... |

|
| hmmmmmm... i kno... i'll go shopping... drown myself in fabrics |

AHHHHHHHHHHh.... JAMIE'S PLAYING THE SONG!!!! why why why... it's a plot to get me to sink even more into my girly sappy lovey situation... darn her! ahhhhhhh... she turned it up! aw c'mon now... here we go again with the perpetual confusion! crushes... letters... names... dreams... words... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... she better stop playing that song!
Your Letter -112
I saw a letter lying on the floor.
I couldn't help but look inside.
Thought it was something you must've left...
left there for me to find.
All the words were on that page.
All my dreams came true that day...
I found
your letter...
your letter...
It said you loved me but you didn't know the words to say
It said you never knew that you could ever feel this way.
It said you only wished someday that I would feel the same.
In your letter... your letter.
I guess it just never occurred to me...
that you would feel the way I do.
You kept the sweetest secret from my heart.
You kept those feelings in...
No you never showed a sign.
Give me proof to what I find...
inside your letter... your letter.
It said you loved me but you didn't know the words to say.
It said you never knew that you could ever feel this way.
It said you only wished someday that I would feel the same.
In your letter... your letter.
I was so happy that I almost cried.
To think that you could think of me that way.
It's like it's led my sweetest dream
and may that dream come true
I would be with you...
always...
I saw a name I didn't recognize.
I felt the tears gone to my eyes.
Seeing that the love that you've been longing for
was another love not mine.
No you never showed a sign
but it was rite there in the light
inside your letter... you letter.
It said you loved him but you didn't know the words to say.
It said you never knew that you could ever feel this way.
It said you only wished someday that he would feel the same.
In your letter... your letter.
I saw a letter lying on the floor
I.... found... your letter...
it said...

04.09.03 + OMG... THE BEST DAY EVER!!! peter and lauren are sooooooooooooo sooooooooooooo cool!!!!!! and to think... i was mad at him for being late for our "meeting" that morning to go over my talk... i was thinking of chewing him out too... and i'm glad i didn't now... cuz i would've been an idiot to... he's such the ROMEO! *dreamy sigh* so here's why (don't mind me and my girly-ness... i need this for posterity and those days next year when i won't have a guy that does wonderfully romantic (though not in that "bf/gf" way.. just a "hey, it's cool we're friends" way) stuff for me)... *ahem clearing my throat ahem* so it's 8:25 and i'm sitting in the caf with lauren and waiting for peter so i could go over my talk with him... 8:30 rolls around... he said he'd be here by now... minutes later we see him walk past the garaventa center... into the school building... with a rose... *eeeeeeeeeee*... so i figure he's probably going to the physics room... maybe he though i'd be there... (i was wrong btw...) so lauren goes to see what's up and tells me to stay put so i do and finish writing some stuff for kairos... 8:45... he finally arrives... but so does megan... and me and her quickly go to see if mrs. menconi's there so we can get permits to leave school that day... she's not there yet.. so we go back to the caf... and then me and peter go off... and i read my talk... yea... i should've looked up at him when i was doing it... but i thought i'd start crying if i did... i had to pretend no one was there... focus on the words (that i was bumbling through)... didn't really deliver it like i'd planned and didn't really finish the darn thing... but it was ok... bell rang.. lauren found me and told me to meet at our lockers at break before i go... decided to go to class but i didn't have my glasses... so peter offered to go look for them... he saw jamie with them on... she lied... he believed her... and i went through 1st period a bit dizzy... but it was ok... world religions class was cool... when i walked it... there was a single red rose on my desk with a lil note from peter... ahhhhhhhhhh... very sweet... although i'd kinda expected it during the day at some point... it was really really really great... no one had ever done that for me before... *sigh* so yeah.. that's when i forgave him... 9:30 rolled around... we left class and headed down the hallways like usual... and then lauren popped up... and she said we had to go outside... and peter said he needed to talk to mr. kjera... so we parted ways... and then i realized i hadn't gotten my blue slip yet or my glasses back so me and lauren went back into the main building to get it but she wouldn't let me go past the senior hallway for some reason... i saw jamie and got my glasses back... and after walking twice as much as i would have had to i got my slip and headed back outside... then i had to put my books back in my locker so me and lauren headed back to the lockers and when i opened it up... there was another rose... *eeeeeeeeeee* OMG... this was so unexpected and a gajillion times "more gooder" than the first one... i think my heart leaped or dropped... one of the two... but wow... it was WAY COOL!!!!! and SWEET! and SURPRISING! and ah.. PERFECT! *sigh* he totally made up for tuesday's invitation... *sigh* mmmmmm... and what's cooler... is that it was all planned.. with the help of lauren too... those two are so good to me... i don't know where i'd be without those two... i know i'll always be able to trust them with my shit and that's vice-versa too... but yeah... evidently lauren was his little accomplice... getting my locker and combo... diverting me... leading me... man... i love em both! the Banatao scholarship interview went alright too... and then KAIROS!!!!!!! that deserves it's own post so i'll do that later... sooooooooooo much to say...
04.10.03 + KAIROS
04.11.03 + KAIROS and VARSITY CHEER AWARDS NIGHT...

wow.. it's been soooooooooo long since i last blogged... sooooooo much has happened in this week and a half! lets see... NATIONALS ROCKED! we kicked ass this year! woo woo... 11th in the western United States! ok... hmmmmmm... what else went down this week? ah... VALEDICTORIAN!!! yay! it's me! i totally thought i sucked too... i stopped in an awkward spot during my speech and i made that half oops-half "uh what just happened" face... oh well... I GOT IT! sucks though how some girls (ignorant girls) got all bitchy and rude about it cuz their friend didn't get it... *Can you say JEALOUS!?!*... it's incredible just how catty girls can get... especially the ones who aren't directly involved but feel the need to put their absolutely unnecessary 2 cents in... i mean... the nominee that was their friend was perfectly nice and gracious about it... but wow... her friends.. that's another story!
DLS Kairos left on Tuesday... and they're coming back tonight!!!! i hope it's been good for them all... i'm kinda curious to see what theirs is all about... i'm sure there are similarities but somehow i don't see these guys getting all emotional and retreating back to their rooms every breaktime for a heart-to-heart... shoutouts to phil and adam and peter (LEADERS ROCK!)... i wonder how their talks went? especially phil's after i nagged him for about a week to start writing his talk when it was just a week away! "if you didn't get anything out of this retreat, YOU HAVE NO SOUL!!!!" <-- did he really say that?
Physics test on thursday wasn't so bad.. i think i might have gotten 3 APs!!!!! thank god!!!! i need at least a B+... or ima catch hell from my parents... AGAIN!
last... and certainly not least... I'M GOING TO JUNIOR PROM!!!! ya i know... rita's a senior... how'd that happen? *clearing my throating* *ahem* *ahem* well... on wednesday afternoon i got home around 4:30 after finishing up some physics hw afterschool with lauren and jen and niki and brian and tom and jamie *the honorary AP Physics student* lol... and when i get home i have an interesting conversation with my mom
Mom: "Who's Jeff?"
Me: "Jeff?"
Mom: "A Jeff from De La Salle called... from your math class?"
Me: "Oh... Jeff... Taylor? oh right. Why'd he call?"
Mom: "I don't know. He said he'd call back around 4:30."
Me: "Ok."
and then she went on to tell me that his mom called too (cuz she works at the Development Office at school and was asking about PIP hours)... it seemed kinda weird how they both called... anyway at around 5 my mom says to me that Mrs. Taylor congratulated me on Valedictorian and then started to ask some questions... "Is she going to Junior Prom?" "Does she have a boyfriend?"... lol... and then Jeff called back... and he asked me to prom... yay! nothing serious.. just for fun he said... i dunno what happened earlier but he somehow had an extra ticket (idk if he already had a date and something came up or what)... so i said "sure"... and we talked a lil at school yesterday... still have no idea what his group's plans are... got a dress though... it's waaaaaaayyyy pretty! i'm out $180... not cash... credit... but still... waaaaaaaaayyy expensive... here's what it kinda looks like  my dress is the same color with the asymmetrical lines going both ways so it criss-crosses in the front with the layering... and it has straps too cuz my mom would flip if i wore strapless... oh... here's the back too  still dunno what i'm doing about my hair or makeup but that can wait till tomorrow i suppose... i'm excited... it should be fun... he's a pretty cool guy... smart too... kinda quiet... but that's probably cuz i don't know him all that well...
sooooooo... what else... ah... GIRLS KAIROS!!!! less than a week to go... ahhhhhhhhhh... i think we'll be alright though... trying not to stress... but yeah.. there's a lot going on... still haven't finished all my "prayers" yet... but i've got till wednesday...
oh and senior ball... i have 11 days to figure out tables... tickets... and get a DATE!!!! time's going by so fast... |
