    We are done. HS is now officially over. Life begins now.

    Its been quite sometime since I last posted an entry, perhaps some have given up with checkinng to see if I'll ever update this site hehe. Well, given that their is really no rational excuse for my having "abandoned" this site, I'll just make a vain attempt at summarizing the events having taken place thus far (sparing many essential details in the process)...

    I'm now currently employed (however, "provisionally empployed") at Target in town, where I assume I will be made to work on the sales floor, in addition to maning the cash register--a salute to simpleton responsibility? One would think that this job is going to be detrimental towards my survival in college, where I will not only have to contribute financially to my schooling, but also pay for gas--although in moderate quanitities--for a spankinm' new Honda Civic VP Coupe that was given to my brother and I as a graduation gift! However, I am sadended to say that the car itself is manual transmission, which evidently to many, provides a reason to be even more excited, although for those like myself--lacking any ability/talent to operate a manual transmission--I am left to "walk" par se...GRRR!!! Oh well, I'll eventually learn and I'm content with pacifying myself with this thought (although truthfully, I find that I am far too lazy to do so hehe)...

    Hmmmm...*Taps foot*...

    I'll return later to--hopefully--complete this post, but for now I believe I need to organize the house before I take off. Bye all!!!

    We are done. HS is now officially over. Life begins now.

    Went to Gabby's party yesterday, then took off somewhat early to Greg Felvor's Aunt's home with Kimo, Brian, Andrew, Angela (and her friends), Anthony and Mike. However, about two days ago we threw a BBQ at my home, it was pretty successfull, quite a few people came over. Amanda and I took off with everyonne else to Villalovoz to play basketball, but instead we walked around the campus talking about "old times". I'm fortunate I didn't tear up, because it really made me realize just how much I'm really going to miss everyone, including a first love.

Life begins.

    Yet another project to contend with, my English "Me" video, in which I have to piece together a film complete with music and transition effects (and thanks to Albert, I'm able to do that using Adobe Premiere©), however, its due this tuesday and I have yet to start...SIGH...I'm looking forward to it though, but I need to decide whether or not to include Jake in the film or not, I guess it would depend more upon how comfortable he is with being filmed :P.

    Lets see...

    I recieved a pathetic $500 scholarship towards my GTO to UCLA thanks to the incredible efforts put forth by Mrs. Fell (I love this woman)! In fact, Mrs. Fell was also responsible for having corrected what some would be consider a fatal error during senior awards night, where my brother Anthony chose to take my community service (2nd year) pin in my name, and claiming it to be his own...GROWL...However, blah...

Be back later, *muah* to my wife Sahar (shes going to DAVIS!!! I'm so proud of her, she is SOOOO damn intelligent I <3 her to no end), <3 u Mallory, Alicia I hope things stay golden, and blah...WOOT to my peeps izzles, later ;-)!!!

    Woot, we have no school today, therefore I'm using what free time I have at the moment to tell ya'll a lil' something about whats been happening the past week...I've been going to the gym for about two weeks straight now, and just recently started to go with Shireen, Enjoli, and Enjoli's bitchy friend (work-out buddies are the best form of motivation)...Lets see, Took AP exam for English Lit. which seemed to take an eternity...However, thinking back, I'm actually regretful that I skipped the 2nd essay of the poem, which I believe was based upon two poems, which may result in a highly negative backlash towards my overall score *whimper*. Lets see, I've got a date with Kevin this sat, in addition to gosh knows what with amigos, but yarg...I need to run, but I'll try to leave a descent post soon :-P!

    I really do have quite a bit to catch up on with readers, however, I'm too lazy therefore here is a VERY brief summary:

  • Went to Santa Cruz for two days with amigos, had a bon-fire on beach for 5 hours, sat and talked, walked along the beach by moonlight (gorgeous!)
  • BLAH BLAH, ME = FORGET

    RANDOMNESS: Here are some pics, I "promise" to complete this post later!!!

        Woot! I'm freshly imported from Irvine, CALIFRONIA...Suburbia at its best...I'm in a rush, but heres a summary:
  • Spent time at Laguna Beach in the middle of the night with Christian, a friend who lives out there in Santa Monica.
  • Enjoyed a beautiful day at California Adventure, Disneyland
  • Made some very cool friends, still going to keep in contact with them this year, I'll have pictures later
  • Learned that 23 people can be squeezed into an elevator at once

    Today is also a time of mourning, in spite of this beautiful weather, for av West High student were killed yesterday (4-25) in a car accident...Please keep their families in both your minds and hearts, may she rest in peace, she will be missed...

        Howdy ya'll, I'm sitting here in the Career Center thinking about tomorrow's trip--this trip being to Irvine for the Future Business Leaders of America California State Competition. What am I thinking about you ask (or probably didn't, but shut up for this)? I'm thinking about the fact that I'm going to be crammed into a musty mini-van with four others right at the beginning of school (10 am), and drive--making as few stops as possible--to southern California...Should I remian positive, or should I take into account the miserable/agonizing ride there? *Heavy sigh*...Oh well, for now I'm going to drift around campus, getting my permission slip signed last minute, followed by a very difficult test with Ms. Haut, and then yet another hunt for collecting assignments I'll need for the rest of the week...YARG! So much to do, and so little interest...OKI DOKE, I'm off, later gators ;-)!!!

        Alas, suddenly, moments prior before the first day back to school since spring break, I fell under the forceful pressure of "disease"...You know, one of those illnesses that last about an hour or so, most often during specific times of the day? Say...I dunno...During Biology AP and the exam? *cough cough*...Oh well, yet another day to study for the fearful test...

        I chose to stay home today, and while doing so I was able to get a good deal done, as well as prep myself for school itself (which should--in reality--have been today, but f**k that s**t! Anywho, lets review...I struggled over whether or not to accept the GTO offer to Davis, LA or Merced...Cleaned the house, prepared (extremely last minute) for a mini-party for my dad's B-Day today (cake, friends, etc...)...Hmmm, and oh yes, both Andrew and Anthony came home with literally ARMFULLS of Compton's Literary Guides©, which was so kindly donated to them through Mrs. Riley. I asked, "what the hell are you ever going to do with those?" Their reply? "Burn them at a park, of course"...I'm sure by now you've rolled your eyes over thirty times, but for those interested in seeing a few snaps of this memorable event, just check 'em out bellow (both are courtesy of Andrew :-D)!

         I have a headache from writting this utter piece of crap, its my Senior Project (incomplete/rough version)!!!

    4-16-04 --Friday~~~guestbook~~~view~~~Message
        OK, get this people: I wake up last night and get a phone call from a friend, who tells me to log onto the UC GTO website, which I do and later log into. I ask what it was all about but he just demanded that I read it, I do and soon learn that those students who were not admitted into the colleges of their choice are referred to a community college and later granted admission into their desired school, following completition of their general-ed classes. Not only that, but the costs of community college (books, classes, registration, etc) are all covered by the state. Somewhat warry of this offer, I continue forward and check to see if I qualify...What happened next? I learn that UC Davis, UCLA, UC Merced, and UC Berkeley are offering me GUARANTEED admission into their schools if I participate in the program! To be honest, it seems to make so much more sense to go along with this program as opposed to going to UOP (where I would pay 40,000+ dollars to complete my first two years), however, I realize that I would be going to a JC for two years *heavy sigh*...Oh well, Hanah I discovered was also doing the same thing, along with a few others, and to be honest, why the hell not?

    Relief

        Right now, I need to focus upon my long neglected Senior Project for the S&E Academy *grrr*...Oh well, I'm off to Stockton with a few peeps yo, and I'll be back later tonight--although I should just work at the B&N in Stockton while I'm their, or hang out with those "UOP People" and use their dorms/libraries to finish this assignmnet! YARG!!! Oh well, if anyone else would like to comment on the GTO (mentioned in the first paragraph) please do so, I'm interested in seeing what your true opinion is...OKI DOKE kids, I'm off, bye bye!

    P.S. Thanks for visiting last night Lauren + Lizzy, your both the best---MINUS the fact that I couldn't sleep until 3 in the morning, given your having jumped into my now shreded bed :'(...OH WELL, love you both *muah*!!!

        So what do ya'll think of the newly updated websitey? I just added in an image which I put together myself in Photoshop, hopefully its website worthy HAHA (I know its kinda scrappy, but hey, 5 minutes is NOT that bad :>). Anywho, I feel that if I were to add more pictures to this somewhat dreary website I would be able to give it a lil' more life, as opposed to this lifeless POS :-D...Hmmm, plans for today, go to B&N con otro amigos and work on my LONG NEGLECTED senior project for the Space & Engineering Academy...And then? Maybe go out to Stockton to hang out with those cool cool UOP peeps :-D! Hmmm, and to pay tribute to one of the best--as I've heard and so far seen--here are some yummy pictures!

        Woot, after school today I was told that I was going to have a BBQ at mi casa con otro amigos? Wow, anywho, Stan, Steven, Collete, Lauren, Andrew, Gabe, Garret, Brian, Angela, and Nick come over to what exactly? I mean, we didn't have charcoal, lighter-fluid, steak/hamburger, condiments, etc...HAHA, THANK YOU LORD THAT ANDREW WORKS AT ALBERTSON'S! Briand and I drove over to Albertson's with Andrew in hopes of scavenging as many goods as we could for the cheapest price possible (employee discount, etc), which proved to be totally unsuccessful in that damn store, where everything seems to scream "high priced"! Never-the-less, we go the stuff and headed back home, where the rest of those cool cool people were hanging out. Interesting fact: at this point, all of us learned that Andrew really has a knack for cooking, I was personally surprised, but he was able to whip together some pretty nice meat in less than 15 minutes, a record in the Matta Household haha.

    BLAH

    OK...Lets think back now...OH YES! Anthony got a call from Sonics that his application had been recieved, reviewed, and LOVED! He now has a job, which he starts tomorrow at 1:30pm, so if anyone is interested in visiting, DO SO! However, for this job, Anthony is required to serve food via rollerblades, something that he has not used in over 7 years, and he made this known when he attempted to skate on a LEVEL surface (ALL bad). LOL, to make matters worse, he recieved another call about 45 minutes later asking him to come to Sonics for a "test skate", where his soon-to-be manager would judge his skill...YIKES...I have yet to find out how he did, but judging by his quiet demeanor when returning, I would say...errr...SUPER TASTIC? Sound like the right word, anywho, moving on....We started to grill but learned that lighting the coals would prove to be difficult, as our lighter-fluid absorbed RIGHT INTO the coals! YARG! Solution? Thats right, like idiots (shut up, we're seniors) we used a large container of Vodka (pure, 95 proof practically!) and poured it directly over the coals. Hmmm, lets do the math:

    Vodka + Lighter-fluid + 12 seniors + 7 matches = FUN :-D!!!

    *Fire erupts*....*Steady silence*..."AHHHHH, OOOOOHHHHH" Granted four of us came close to losing our eyebrows, it was still an amazing sight LOL. Hmmm, while we waited for the meat to cook (and let me remind you, none of us have any experience in BBQing) a few of us looked for something to do, and what do you think we came up with? Thats right kids, more fire, playstation games (thanks for your contribution Stanley), and music (thanks Angela). But going back to the Playstation, I don't think I've ever seen so many people crowd around games before than this day, they were cheering at the screen and actually becoming emotional when they were losing (WOW), CRAZY SAUCE...Speaking of sauce, did anyone know that there is actually a BBQ sauce called "Chaka's 'MMMM' Sauce"? Because this was TOTALLY new to me! It was hillarious, on the front label of the bottle shows a large, smiling, and hideous homie-g! We bought it just for that reason, althought it ended up being "MMMM-MMMM good" :-D...Lets see, to get away from the noise and activity of house, Angela, Garret, Steven, Collete, Lauren, and myself set outo a blanket in the backyard surrounding the grill (probably not the best decision: flamable blankets + fire = ouch), where we just had a chance to sit down and talk, catch up, and discuss future plans in college. I haven't had such a good time--nor good conversation--in such a long time, I swear I could cry! Haha, well, we continued to eat and hang out, talking later about our plans for Spring Break (woot!), but eventually the day ended (for us around 2 A.M.), the house was cleaned, and WOOT WOOT, when I checked my mail, I learned that I'm a semifinalist for the Hispanic College Fund! WOOT, where I'm eligible for a $20,000 scholarship to UOP! WEEeeee! LOL, well I'll talk about this later, but for now, I must say BYE BYE! Hope everyone has an awesome weekend and of course, SPRING BREAK!!! Love yah *muah*, bye!!!

    ONE MORE THING...I'm going to prom with Fritzi Modi! Woot, I <3 this girl...I'm going in Sabrina Piper's group (Steven + Collete, Anthony + Lauren, Michelle + Garret, Sabrina + Kenny, Fritzi + moi, and Gabe + Angela), fun fun woot! We're going out Shadowbrook in...hmmm, I can't remember the name of the town but its near Santa Cruz--and its on a beach--woot! However, we have a problem with the limo service, that being we just don't have a limo, as we are attempting to find one where the maximum amound anyone would have to pay would be less than $100. YAH freaking RIGHT! But, if anyone reading this (come on Alicia, help a brotha' out) has any such information, would you be able to contact either myself or Sabrina? We REALLY need your help! My AIM s/n is "SMAHnet", or even "smatta23". Please feel free to reach me, or, since I'm usually not online that often, try e-mailing me! OKI DAI, thanks a bunch!

        To all those crazy yearbook people (and you know who you are *cough: Mallory+ Kelly*) here is the imfamous presentation!!!

        HAHA...Tiss all I have to say in regards to yesterday's government presentation. Lets see, for those not in my 5th period class, our group--Tina B. and Kris P.--were selected to present our prepared speeches. However, on this day I realized that none of our group members had kept in communication with one-another during the weekend to organize the project and to determine what was going to be done/said. Thus, to compensate for this, I chose to stay up till around 2 a.m. on Sunday/Monday to complete a last-minute Power Point presentation, one that would depict our president (George W. Bush) in a negative light--via the use of satirical visuaks--yet simulatneously in a positive point of view--as depicted throuhg the actuall written words on display in the presentation itself. Having informed my group members individually that we were going to present our project in a P.P. presentation that same day (two periods before) we were, as one might say, SCREWED (none of us knew what to say). Thus, as we stood before the class 5th period to present, we remained clueless and literally read off of the P.P., which in the process upset Mr. Krone...OUCH...However, it became evident that the pictures used in the presentation upset Krone to the point in which he chose to end it prior to completion. Personally, I was fearful that he would score our report on the basis of his mood--super crappy--that day, but after we convinced him to review the material it seemed that he would change his mind, and grade according to the work done--which corresponded with all that he had asked for, minus our poor presentation and bad choice of images to use. Anywho, I need to run, I'll catch up with ya'll later, bye now! OH, and if your interested in viewing it, click here.

        I had an awesome weekend! Mike, Gabe, Anthony and myself went out to UOP for profile day and ran into the worlds SWEETEST girl ever, Joe M.! However, she seemed somewhat "bummed" sitting there in the horrid sun while we approached her--nay, skipped to her--with our JambaJuice and Starbucks *mmmm*...ON ICE, dats right! Anywho...I was pleased with the size of the campus and the atmosphere of it, in addition to the fact that I'll be around people of whom I have come to know and become comfortable around--Gabe, Jenn, Christine (possibly), HAWAIIAN CHICAS, Todd Seymore, etc...I can't wait until college, although now, I need to worry over student loans and whether-or-not my mom is going to bother giving me a cent towards my college education...I swear, how could someone take $66,000 from my college savings and then refuse it to me, on the basis of "emotional neglect"...Yarg, crazy biach...*sigh*...Oh well, LOANS + Scholarships = :-D wee neeeeddddd you!!! Bye bye, back to mountains of homework of which I have yet to touch, later gators...And BTW, I love you Alicia + Kaydee + Sahar + Mallory!!!

        Wow, I haven't updated this blog consistently for some time, perhaps now is the time to do it? Lets see, this past week I've been attending "study" groups with the Physics AP and Calculus AP crowd (Nessan, Stanley, Brian, Andrew, Nick, Garret, Andrew S., etc.) where I've found that I'm gradually becoming LAzUR (quote Rachelle), as I would sit in the cafe and highlight upon every distraction available to me (WEEEE). Lets see, this week I've had quite a bit to do, not only have I yet to start an english report (due tomorrow--4/2/04), but I must also complete a POW for math, and study for the second portion of my Biology test (essay). In fact, I stayed up until around 4 a.m. this morning cramming as much BIO into my head prior to leaving for school. What has kept me going? Thats right, the SWEET black motha', coffee. Granted it was stale, and I doubt that the water used to brew it was considered drinkable (tap in Tracy = big "no no"), but never-the-less, I was able to suck down all of that delicious caffeine (a second blood of sorts). *Beep BEEP!* Yarg, it seems that I will have to leave for my next class, but, I will be back to complete this post (which will probably not happend until tomorrow, as I am notorious for neglecting to complete/fulfill such promises). Oh well, bye bye!

    Oh but before I go, I'm going to enrol in the UOP School of Engineering (hey now, I recieved a heafty scholarship from 'em)...I'll yammer on about it later, bye now!!!

        A few of us headed out to Mallory's house to hang out. We ended up watching a movie until arond 2 AM, and I must say, Mallory (and her non-asian friend are the BEST! I love this girl, but not so much your counterpart in Fight Club *slight shudder*. Hmmm, lets see, we mainly drove around in search of places to have fun, such as, for instance, "LAN" place (where Nick, for some reason, frequents often), and the Legion Hall with Angela Alcheski. Good times, and I'm in somewhat of a rush, I just returned from Stockton with a few amigos, and were in--yet again--pursuit of something else to find interest in (LOL), which in this case equates to an event in Pleasanton (where the "CUTE B&N GUY"--of whom gave me his number *yay*--will be!). Oki doke, coffee is done, time to jet, bye all! And *MUAH* to Mallory, Alicia (Modonna/Barbie babe), and Kaydee, bye!

        I had an awesome day at school today! We took an AP M/C exam today in english, which was, to say the least, ZzZzzz...But beyond that, second period began the process of my "rejuvination", in which Mercedes was able to "groove" the life into me with her "nubian" ways, I mean wow, that girl has such a vibrant energy its insane, I love you girl! Hmmm, bio was more workie, which is also the equivalent to sadness, but it was super dandy, given that I was able to speak with Amanda, whom I'm feeling a great deal of sympathy for, her boyfriend of three years has broken up with her, following their recent engagement. I'm hoping that they will both amend their differences and, with all luck, come to realize how much they truely love one-another :-D...Lets see, during Gov't (5th), I was able to experience a true battle royal, where Mallory and Sahar fought for my love (an position as Nanny--please dear LORD don't ask), and where Rhonda and Zahra claimed us as their parents (er...it just ebbed at this point and became creepier and creepier LOL). Mallory, all I can say is that you can have me on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, but every other day custody is then passed over to Sahar, my true boo (*whispers*: I lied, YOUR my true boo G)...LOL...OMGosh, I've never had so much fun in the middle of a conflict that in 5th, hehe, thank you all, you made my year!

    Oh and Kindra, Zahra, Sahar, Rhonda, Amanda, Mallory, Kelly, and Alicia..Your all truely the best people I've ever met, kinda, sarcastic (*cough cough* Mallory *cough cough cough cough*), compationate, loving, beautiful, refreshing, and overall, FAB-U-LOUS (*lisp*)!!!

    Yarg, time is running out, and I should stop procracinating, therefore, its time to say "bye bye", and no more distractions Mallory!!! Even though I would SOOO rather chat with you as opposed to face my work :'(...BYE!!!

    Oh and before I somehow forget, thanks for the comments in your blog Mallory, your sweet *muah*!

    THE MaTTAS ARE THE HOTTEST!

    I was talking to Stephen online last night (while I was procrastinationg every HW assignment that I finally did this morning... yay for coffee) And he made me listen to his ugly rave music (grrrr!!!), but it actually wasn't so bad and it kinda grew on me. All I hve to say is that Stephen Matta is the absolute greatest boy to ever walk the planet!!! I love you baby! Let's get married!

    Alright, ummm... all I have to say about Anthony right now is that he has stolen my heart and I hope he never gives it back!! You are the best, my boy, and I love you with all of my heart (however black and cold it may be).

    THANKS GABE FOR THIS AWESOME RENDITION OF OUR CRAPPY CAR!!!

        Howdy everyone! Through dealing with a clingly-psychopath, as Kaydee so nicely put it for me (double props homie G funk) hehe. Anywho, I can't wait to see my boo, so-as to dispell the negative feelings a certain immature-someone has given me (as always, hehe, he likes to obsess)...Hmmm, this week heh? So far I've gone to B&N everyday for a "study" group w/ Stanley, Garret, Andrew, Gabe, Angela, Devis, Kris, and Nessan, which essentially equates to hours of non-stop bable about whatever...Awwww, good times...Hmmm, not much else to say other than the fact that I need to finish my work, hehe, didn't get much done at B&N *shock*...Oh boy howdy, I love being a senior!

    kr3stfalleNstaR: reading your blog thing...damn you have like stalker

        Something I thought was amazingly funny, it appears that (not to anyone's surprise) CJ has yet to leave me alone, proof is here

    3-22-04 --Monday~~~guestbook~~~view
        A lot has happened this weekend! For one, I had aniticpated initially that I would be swamped with work, and would inevitably have to remain tied to this lovely town known as Tracy, however, I was quick to learn that that was very much not the case. For one, this friday a few of us got together (Angela A., myself, Nick, Nick G., Garret, Gabe, and Anthony) to watch a movie and to essentially, just hang out. We ended up seeing Dawn of the Dead, where we spent more time laughing during some of the most grotesque scenes than screaming in terror (you know, like a four-year old girl with pig-tails? *cough* Nick *cough*). Afterwards, we decided the night was still young and headed out to the "LAN Place" near Savemart (situated close to Montevista). That place was SOOOO dull, it lacked any kind of real "personality", in the sense that the decor consisted merely of rows of dark, and softly humming machines awaiting use by the middle-aged men whom can't seem to find a break in the complex game known as "socializing". And why were we there? Because Mike was feining for UT!

    Ok, that was Friday night, Saturday consisted of the following:

  • Friends got together to meet at mi casa and to establish a "plan" of sorts for the day
  • Had dinner at Applebee's with Amanda and her cousin, along with Andrew, Anthony, myself, and Gabe. From there, we kindly harassed the world's NICEST waitress (apparently Amanda was close with her), created our own patented "health shakes" (i.e., ground peper, 12 packets of Eqaul sweetner--something Amanda had a fetish for, just plane gross--ketchup, a half-shaker of salt, and two large orange crayons. Mmmmmm, we'll have to go back there next saturday :-D...

    Also, last Sunday...

  • I met the most HANDSOME and SWEET guy in Barnes & Nobles while studying with a few friends. I had notcied that while I went to sit in the cafe, I was being watched and started at by two men. Gabe pointed it out, at first I was under the impression that both were interested in stabbing mne (don't ask, mld paranoia kicking in)...LOL...But I continued to note upon the fact that they would turn their heads whenever I would walk pa st them...I was a td frustrated with this, but eventually, started to play into it...Mt amni focus was a cute gringo with a light goatee, his eyes were a dark brown, and his smile was SOOO charming......We followed one-another around, msiling and passing gflares, until finally he walked directly up to me and asked for my phone number, and shaking my hand in the prcocess while introducing himself...HOW ADROABLE! I wswear, I acan't wait to have duinner with im soon, and perhaps also getting together this weekened. He he, well, I shoudl get backt wwo to work, and this keyboard is failing me, I'll correct therse mistakes much later, for now, bye all!!!

        Oh wow, LOL, read my guestbook people, and you'll notice that ODA (whom I suspect) just made an entry in regards to my being a "failure". Haha, as I included in my post, he still cannot, nor will not leave me alone, LOL, and he SERIOUSLY needs to move beyond this petty dispute (rather, his dispute). But heh, I'll soon be away to college with the freedom to enjoy my relationship with Jorge and friends, leaving behind every shred of anything which would remind me of this pathetic being. He lives by his transcript, thats about it. People use him, ask for his homework constantly, and see him as a resource with which to accumulate college-knowledge (Jr. pals LOL). Even I used him, tolerating his annoying obsessiveness for two years, where I was able to find HW help, etc. Hehe, he performed his duty, now its time for him to find "friends" elsewhere, hopefully those of whom won't immediately ask "can I see your HW?" or, "could you help me do/answer...". LOL, I love you all, and thanks Kelly + Ellen for your comments, go seniors, bye all! Back to studyin' for me, hehe!!!

        OMGosh, its the world's most FABULOUS woman!!! Mallory!!!

        Well well, today was the day of the long-awaited Congressional Simulation, the very thing which seemed to threaten the relationships of most individuals participating directly (rather, those most pationate in regards to) in the program itself. Yes people, this was the very thing which would allegedly (as some reacted) determine our fate/grade in Mr. Krone's class, thus, setting in motion a tremendously long period of competition, debate, anger, frustration, and on occasions, humor (to a small handful of us). YARG! What ended up actually taking place during the simulation was not expected by anyone I was communincating with, as those individuals had initially predicted that hot ore would come crashing through the sky, casting fire and death upon the small gathering of lowelly AP students *shudder*...And instead, calm...All of us were able to divide ourselves appropriately into our committees/parties, where we were generally civil and most importantly, productive! I was in utter shock, I mean, crappers! Well anywho, moving beyond my continued state of disbelief...I was considered by the opposing Democratic party to be the "weak link", where it was assumed (by them) that I would be easily bought by means of filtered-goodness, i.e., COFFEE PACKS! In fact, one person went as far as to bribe me with actually money *cough*, JASON, *cough*...It was as if I was being called a whore--as, by definition, a "whore" is willing to do what is asked of them in exchange for money. Should I have taken this as an insult and refused such bribes? Or rather, should I have accepted the bribes and carelessly stab those people in the back by voting along my party-lines? Take a pick people...And for those who were unable to figure it out, I TOOK the damn coffee and of course, the MONEY (bein' a ho' deffinitely pays well), however, I chose not to give into their requests. Hmmm, a slight twinge of guilt struck me, but was quick to disipate as I craddled by fresh Starbucks Coffee, courtsey of one SEXY Afghan (my Sahar =>)...*Notices run on*...*Dismisses*...In the end, the Republican party (that being mine) emerged the victor, in both the House and Senate (again, my position). Woot woot--forgot to mention, sorry I voted against us once Kindra, but it had to be done in order to obtain the coffee (I'm cheap, what can I say)...But dang you, you threw in the warm memories of Kingergarden, shame on you! Haha...

        What else? Oh yes, I went off campus with Zahara, Sahar, Rhonda, and the other Democrats (Kyles, Nessan, etc...) to In and Out, where I sat and really had a chance to listen to Sahar. I sat and listened, and began to realize that I could not live without her, she is my best-bud and I can honestly say that I love the gal. Sahar, if your reading this, hit "Alt F4" to speed up your connection =>!

        What more, what more?! Hmmm, Jorge called me while he was on the plane returning to the US (from the Philipines)! He seems jet lagged, so I chose to cut our conversation short, so-as to allow my cutie the chance to rest (haha, I know the effects of jet lag, trust me LOL...three exchange trips to Europe/Asia later hehe). Just recieving his call seemed to wipe away all of my frustrations (which were a result of guilt for betraying the Democratic party in the voting process) and stresses of the past few weeks (with admission decisions, etc), sometimes I swear, I would be incomplete without him (LOL, how sappy, BLAH!). Well, the moral of this story is that I cannot wait to hang out with him this weekend (and others =>), its going to be great! Hmmm, its about 11:52pm, perhaps I should finish the remainder of my bio. objectives, and start my new set...If I can figure out which chapter their in...*Anger builds*...YARG! This panda is going to thrash around if he doesn't figure it out, or take a quick nap, whichever comes first sounds great...

        Lastly...In response to a wager made (in addition to threats of restricting college tuition), I've decided to go "straight" for the next two months, in which I will have a girl-friend (how "middle school" I know LOL), work on cars, and take on a more masculine attitude (teachings courtesy of Josiah => and Andrew...Brian maybe, but I dunno about him LOL)...Pathetic, I'm sure your saying, but hey now, I'm bored, and so are they, so blah!

        Lastly, lastly (promise *crosses fingers*)...I came home to find out that I was accepted into Tulane, UOP, and...FINALLY...I recieved a hard-copy of my Cal Poly admission ('bout dang time lazy bums)..LOL, well, I need to finish the remainder of tonights work, talk to you all later, bye!!!

        1:57 AM: I know, this is an "early" post (but I just got home, so bear with me people haha). Tonight was truely excellent, I called and spoke with Jorge, who will be back this Monday (YAY!) and then chose to hang out with a few amigos. A small group of us (five or so) met at "my second home" (i.e., Starbucks on 11th) where this group eventually spanned into somewhat of a mob of people, amounting to somewhere near twelve total (LOL): Tracy, Sahar, Mario, Lindsey, Krystin, Jeramiah, Josh, Justin, Andrea, Daniel, Gabe, Anthony, etc...Wow, I'm so tired I'm finding that staying wake is becoming a task HAHA...Anywho, afterwards...Yarg...I'll finish this post much later, I need to be up early to work out ( :-D )...Night/Good morning all! Love yah mucho (minus one)!!!

        ...I just took my bio test, I'm somewhat confident that I scored between a "B" or "B+", other than that however, I'm not sure LOL. Hmmm, what can I rant on about? *Taps foot*...We were able to go outside today in Mr. Montalbano's, the weather was terrific. Zahra and I were partners for this ridiculously simple "I am" poem that we were forced to write and...Grrr, bell is going to ring, I'll finish this post later, bye all!!!



    3-11-04 --Thursday~~~guestbook~~~view
        Today was actually a very good day, as far as those go when your sick *cough + sniffle*. Anw who, I was surprised to find that certain individuals weren't able to make it to class today, and thus, my morning was tension free and I had a relatively good time :-). However, the Claritin I took this morning was slow to take effect, thus leaving me to sit through the dronings of my teachers with a runny-nose *YARG!*...BUT! When the antihistamine I took did take affect, I was struck with an immediate blast of "medicine head"--meaning that I was able to sense my being present in a specific locale, but felt mentally detached from my body, therefore giving me a sensation of "floating", and perhaps also, dreaming. Needless to say, I had to struggle throughout the rest of the day in this condition, but was somewhat revived during 4th period (AP Bio) when I--during the last five minutes of class--recieved a text-message from an old friend, Lee, a very intelligent person of whom I had the pleasure of traveling to Europe with during the summer prior to my Jr. year. Anywho, I called him right at the end of class and the start of my lunch period, where he and I quickly cought up with "old times"...Well well...Lee is now going to UC Berkeley (as of last fall) and is studying Political Science. He seems to really be enjoying the college experience, although, he could really do without the work (and also, fellow AP students--hehe--Lee claims that AP does not prepare you for college, and that the courses are MUCH more difficult than once thought...RUN!) haha...OH OH! He also informed me that one of the "partiers" on our trip to Europe ended up (the same after) moving to Las Vegas and marrying her then boyfriend, which describes her current situation. I was amazed to think that in such a little amount of time, so much could change/occur. Wow.

        Anywho, I was upset in 5th period (Krone's AP Gov.)! A few members of my committee (gay marriage) thought it best to transfer me to a far less interesting committee--death penalty. *ZzZzZz*...I was personally bothered by this, however, I felt that it was somewhat funny...I cannot believe how serious some people are actually taking this project...I mean, Kindra looked as if she was in tears when she chose to transfer me, where I guess she must have assumed that I cared at all for this dang project...In all honesty, I could care less...People are becoming far too involved in it (emotionally rather than intellectually), where it has, to a degree, negatively affected several relationships among a handful of individuals participating in it. One word, pathetic. Dear gosh, why feel the need to take this project to such terrifying heights?! It should in no way work to effect us as individuals, but merely as students.

    ...Moving on...

        Amanda and I actually had a conversation online, while she was conducting a "secret" republican rep. meeting *cough*...I'm out of energy, therefore I won't bother explaining it, I'd rather post the conversation here...For now I'm going to continue sitting here jamin' out to Sweedish music (dance, jazz, H.NRG, etc...) online (which everone, and I mean, everyone should do)! If you'd care too listen to it as well, I encourage you too haha, Radioseven--> (WMA format)...

        Hmm, I was able to look back and read my last entry just recently and I began to realize how frustrated and truely exaughsted I must have been while writing it. To be honest, I feel much better and slightly more positive about school, where I hope these feelings will persist until I am finally able to reach the end of this "ride". Also, I'd like to a make a few comments before I'm forced off of this computer hehe:
        
  • I love you so much Amanda, your the BESTEST! And yes, your skirt is pretty, which matches the prettiness covering your face and smile.
        
  • Jorge, when you get back I'm SOOO taking you out to dinner!
        
  • Andrea, this Saturday we need to get together and hang out!
        
  • Karina: you must be one of the most intelligent and witty person I've ever had the opportunity to meet, I truely value our friendship and hope to hang out with you this weekend at mi casa con otros!
        
  • Gabe + Nick: holler izzles, you both are the most hillarious Mo. Fo.s eva'!
        
  • Sahar + Sassey: San Francsico = YES! Come on, bring your cute Afghan selves out to the bay with us soon! I love you both, Sahar you are one of my best friends and I love you this mucho ---> [----(infinite)-->...And Sassey, come out of Sac-Town to T-City!!!

        I'll be back later to better organize this entry, or perhaps also re-write it entirely. Until then, bye bye! This panda wuvs you!!!

        I'm done. Recently I've come to realize that the work shovled upon us at school is utterly meaningless, in addition to the unneccessarily high degrees of stress which is generated as a result of tests (which appear to frequent within the realm of our AP existance). In fact, I'm sitting in class (computer course at Delta) struggling over the inordinate numer of objectives assigned to us by a woman who means well (Haut) but doesn't seem to be very sympathetic to the high degreesof stress and overall lack of tolerance we has seniors have (most noteably during these last few months of school) for school itself. In fact, I can't seem to garner enough will-power to focus my attention upon the unsettling onslaught of work which await me deep within my folder. Rather, I refuse to open this fuking text-book, I would rather put it to good use as firewood, mybe then it'll inspire some kind of flame (figuratively speaking = "pun"). I'm done. What more could I possibly hope to do to influence a deision that has has already been made by the colleges I've applied to?! I really should feel more secure with myself, but I can't help but think that no UC is willing to accept me. I'm a fairly good student, with a class rank within the top of my class (6%), a steady weighted GPA of 4.28, an extracaricular activities up the wazoo-->GSA vice president, FBLA competitor (two time 3rd place winner) and parliamentarian. FHA, CSF, Key Club. Rotary Club, INTERACT Club, Asian Club, MEChA, Boy's State representative 2003, People to People Student Ambassador to Europe, Tracy Sister City Ambassador to Japan, just to name a few. BTW, in no way am I attempting to brag nor am I gloating, I am simply trying to make a point. However...Will the UCs accept me? Maybe I'm not what their looking for, even as a minority?! Fuk it, fuk WHS and its work (although I love the people, all of my friends, the memories I've made and shared, the fun I've had, the experiences, everything about the high school experience , minus the work). I've worked hard, I can no longer do anything to change the UC's perception of me, and in essence...I'm done.

    Note: I'm sorry for sounding upset on the phone Jorge, you know how much I care about you and I don't think I could ever be upset with you, your everything to me and I can't wait to see you when you get back. Your here for me, thats why I love you, thank you babe.

        *Yawn & Stretch*...*Sips coffee*...*More yawning*...*Rubs eyes*...GOOD MORNING everyone! I had the best night last night!!! Sahar, Gabe, Anthony, myself, and...and...JORGE (!) went to Applebee's to have dinner at around 8pm, we ended up leaving close to 11pm, but the entire time I was enjoying myself. Jorge was able to get a chance to meet a few of my friends and become aquainted with them, which was a definite plus, and in addition to that, Sahar was performing her tradaition "screening" process. Hehe, needless to say, I'm a lil' piggy because Jorge was kind enough to spoil me with regretfully fatty foods (but "mmmmm" either way :-D). While we sat down to dinner, we discovered that Sahar is unable to color within the lines, that wax will stick to utensils, and that the ASB from both WHS and THS tend to migrate to this restaraunt at around midnight LOL. Good time, and if you can't already tell, I've just woken up, so at this moment those "good times" are being clouded by loads of needed studying and homework *sniffle*...Wow, am I incapable of constructing a blog with any kind of consistent flow, this particular entry seems to be layered with random thoughts, BLAH! Damn you Mr. Montalbano *shakes angry fist*!!! JK, I <3 the guy, but yah...Jorge = <3 :-D...Bye ya'll, back to work I go, love yah!!!

        Also, I went over to the Uchiyama's this evening at around 6 or so, where I was asked to "visit" the family, which translates only into "Slave LABOR" (JK). But seriously though, I went for a visit to their home and I was asked to repair/improve upon their main computer, which was to say the least, a monstrocity and deserved not life, but a swift and clean death *shakes head in remorse*. Words cannot describe the pain I felt that computer was in, I literally mean that it struggled to activate it's own BIOS support system *tears stream down face*. However *stretch + cocky grin*...Given my "expertise", I was able to push the once dismal futre of this computer far into a more positive light, bringing not only it hope, but that of it's owners *bright light breaks through cloud formation + angelic presence is felt*... :-D ...OK, to be honest, I just cleaned up the hard drive, sorted it, added a firewall ("paid"), and additional managment software, and of course, taught the youngin's the JOYS of hackin' *sniffle*...They just grow up so damn fast *moves face away to hide presence of tears + raw human emotion*...Needless to say, I love the Uchiyamas, and Andrea--including Daniel--you really should come out with us to Valley Fair (Nick could make yah all nice 'n spiffy)! Or perhaps we should go out for a day in the city with my "especial amigo" Jorge ;-) (hehe, I'll tell yah when your much older hehe). Alrighty folks, later!

        OH, and gracias por el dinero, sin embargo, usted realmente no debe haber dadomelo, yo está siempre alegre prestar mi hora de ayudar hacia fuera a:-D. ˇA pesar de esto, las gracias mucho, y yo consideraremos que usted mira furtivamente más adelante! Adios!!!

        WOOT WOOT, its friday! I'm currently sitting in 3rd period (Engingeering) blogging on the worlds most abused laptop. In fact, the computer has suffered so much abuse that whenever their is a slight tremo, the screen will flash wildly and the color-scheme will somehow change! WTF?! I wonder where the Academy Grant has gone to? Haha, its obviously not the english department nor these low-quality computers (however, overall, one would be able to say that their HIGHLY durable hehe). Anywho, we have a sub today, whom I'm staring at as I type this sentence, and the assignment given to us by Mr. M was ridiculously simple, hence the free time I'm using to type this sentence haha. *Taps foot*...But what did I come on here to say? Hmmmm *grin*...

        Oh yes! Thanks for your post in my guestbook, however, I'm not sure if thats Andrew? Hehe, if it is, DON'T VISIT ME!!! Haha, JK...Lets see, this Saturday a few of us are planning on driving out to San Francisco to enjoy (hopefully) a plesant day, I mean really though, the weather is allegedly going to be amazing, with sunshine throughout the bay! We noted upon this and definitely felt that we would have to take advantage of this opportunity to really have some refreshing fun (its been a looonnngggg while hehe). Oh, in addition to this trip, I'm planning on getting together with Jorge (my "Asian Prince") this Saturday to watch a movie, have dinner, and perhaps also get together with a few of my friends and his own, at which point we will more than likely play-it-by-ear hehe (sounds familiar doesn't it?). I already miss him! He's SOOO damn charming and might I add...Gorgeous! But *sigh* Anthony (LOL), he's more than just a "Fab-Tab-U-Lous" sports car, he's also "my man, and ain't no hoe gonna take him from me OOOKK Dewanda?" -Jerry Springer. Hehe, wow, that was certainly more random then I would have liked, but never-the-less, WHO CARES! I'm in such a good mood, today is going to be terrific, as well as this weekend! WOOT!

        However...I'm finding that this day is progressing slower than I'd like it to *stares at clock impatiently*...HURRY UP DAMNIT!!! Hehe, well, Mrs. McKague just wheeled in a cart FULL of food, therefore, I'm going to have to say my goodbyes, later gators!

    P.S. I'll complete this post a lil' later, but for now I need to continue forward (with work) in this lagging day (but none-the-less, a great one)!!! Bye!!! *Muahz*, see you soon Jorge!!! ;-) ----- (And if this is Anthony, STOP READING THIS BLOG AND GIT BACK TO WORK YAH LIL' TIKE!!!)

        Woot! Yesterday was both terrific and terrible, terrible only in the sense that I didn't get quite as much homework done as I originally would have liked to, but terrific given the fact that Jorge and I were able to get together for coffee last night around 10 (and leaving at 12:20 or so, WTF?!)...Anywho, I've gotta say, this guy is great...But now I need to return to my long neglected studies, so I'll talk to ya'll later, bye now!!!

    3-1-04 --Monday~~~guestbook~~~view
        Woot! Its RAINING today, hurray!! And no, I'm not being sarcastic. Anywho, I'm in an awesome mood today, not only have I had a sub during one of my most difficult classes, but I was also able to take 3rd place in Technology Concepts in the FBLA competition I participated in last weekend, which therefore means that I qualify to attend the State FBLA competition in April in Irvine, CA! However, I personally do NOT want to attend, at this point, whats gain would I have by doing so? I mean honestly, I won't be able to slap it onto a transcript, nor would I be able to apply it to scholarships, so in essence, its a waste of money for what?! Anwyho, I'll continue this much later, right now I need to study for my government quiz next period, bye!!!

        Also, in addition to the FBLA competition, I was able to get together with my "azn gawd" Jorge!!! Woot woot, he and I are getting together tonight to have coffee, I can't wait to see him again, he is SOOOO cute hehe, alrighty, now I really mean to say goodbye!!!

        How unfortunate for me, as I sit here and listen to the continuous droning of a middle aged man attempt to educate me in regards to the basic basic basic basic utilities of Java Runtime enviornments and the use of Solaris *deep sigh*...He just seems to go on, and on, and on, and on, etc...When will this end?! Oh well, maybe it isn't as bad as I just described, but none-the-less...this remains true to the definition of "hell" LOL. Despite this, I'm able to derive comfort in knowing that following this class (which will end around 9:30pm or so) I'm going to be having coffee at my second home (Starbucks on 11th) with the cutest Filipino en del mundo! Really though, no exageration, this person is truely adorable, not only is he able to maintain interesting conversation, but he also comes pre-installed with humor, a definite plus ;-D! Grrr, if only he were to come in key-chain form, or perhaps even a wallet sized version of himself, but why not?! Oh yah, the whole "impossible" factor, well "PA-SHAW" to that jigga's!!! HAHA, well, what should I share with ya'll as I attempt to construct some means of distraction from this tedious course...? Oh yes, how about some long-awaited complainin'? Dats right boo, I know you wanna hear a lil' somethin' somethin' (I accredit my advanced use of ebonics to the teachings--highly dedicated--of Shortay/Arnold, where would I be without her?! LOL)...Here it comes people:

    Complaints: none

        Thats right, ever since recently (months ago rather) I have had little, if anything to complain about, life had truely been good to me: great friends, fun weekends, and an awesome boyfriend. This must be the senior year I've heard so much about :-D, as opposed to those whom base their "purpose" in life on a sheet of paper (transcript), not realizing that their being used as a resource, etc. However, thats not to say that I don't rely quite a bit on my own transcript, but I'm still able to find satisfaction among a variety of other facets in life, other than those that pertain primarily to school, although for those at cannot, I must say that I truely pitty them, oh well! Some good news heh? I just recently recieved letters from the state schools I was accepted into (as BACK-UPS people, I have no intention of attending any of those schools!): San Jose State University, San Francisco State University, San Diego State University, and Cal Poly. All four have just reminded me to complete my FAFSA application (oh SHYT!), which I should really be working on now...errr...bye!!! LOL

        Blah, I came back to school after having left "sick" yesterday from 2nd period (translation: I needed to study desperately for a test of which would cover information I wasn't familiar with). Thus, I walked off campus and headed to my second home, AKA, Starbucks on 11th street. I sat in the cozy lil' cafe for about and hour and a half or so before I finally chose to continue to walk home (which also translates into a quick rush over to MiKEY's casa and then a five-minute encounter with a window that refused to budge--providing a means of getting inside my house, and yes I realize the irony). When I was finally able to squeez myself inside, I headed straight to my "comfy zone" to study relentlessly for a test which clung heavily to the bruised tissue of my fragile brain! YARG, in addition to this, I was made to deal with not only a headache, but also a myriad of varrying stresses which added further to an already worsening migrane. YARG (again)! You wonder what these "stresses" are? Let me explain :-D...

        I = FBLA competition in Visalia (which essentially means that once the final bell brings, I must traverse across campus to literally cram myself (along with six other overzealous individuals--great for a migrane) into an already FULL vehicle (which lacks adequate ventilation). In addition, I must also complete yet another in-class essay for Montalbano's (which I was unfortunate in missing the first 30 minutes of, do to a minor confrontation between myself and my home-printer), OH...and also...I am struggling to find one single missing document for BIO, which will inevitably injur my grade if it remains hidden for much loner (grrr), AS WE:: as the fact that I must make-up a test for BIO this Tues., the same day Mike and I are getting together to have coffee!!! Whaaa *tears stream down face*! Oh well, one must do what one must do :'( (AP English style playa's LOL)...Hmm *taps foot*, what else would I be able to divulge at this time? And so the bell rings, hence, it BEGINS! Wish me luck at the FBLA compeition MIKEY, bye ya'll!

        WINDY! The weather report claimed mild winds, but...as always, they LIED *hiss*, and instead I (correction, we) we're all struck by vicious winds of up to 40 mph!!! WTF?! Haha, oh well, nothing can down my spirits today, I've been chatting it up with MIKEY for the past few weeks, and MY OH MY have my days been awesome, LOL, well, time to finish lunch, catch up with ya'll later, bye!!!

        OMGosh, yestderay was a blast *gasp + cough*...I had class at 6:30-9:30, where Lauren Langry was busy surfing the web as opposed to listening to the droning of our instructor (A. Cofod), and needless to say, she was able to find some very interesting images of people whom have chosen to mutilate/alter their bodies in manners previously unthough of to me *shock*. Well, there went my apetite (grrr) haha. ANYWHO, class ended on a dull note, however, I was later revived into a positive state by a call from MiKey!!! He and I spoke for about an hour or so--the content of which will remain with me and my computer LOL--before I realized that I still needed to finish a collage (for Mr. Montalbano's) based upon the concept of war (a broad look). Well, I was able to finish it and now I'm truly sadended by my lack of artistic ability *cries + whimpers*. If your "interested" in viewing the piece feel free, its here.

        Today was an even better day! Karina, myself, her sister, and Anthony went to Barnes & Nobles to "study" *cough cough*. However, instead we ended up chatting for about three hours or so (so much for studying)! She was such a fun person to be around today, I don't think I've had such good conversation with her previous to this, so I was deffinately glad that I chose to go. Well, to keep things simple, she (Karina) expressed to me that she had an interest in my brother Anthony (romantically), to which I "secretly" made Anthony aware, and then he wanted me to convey the same to Karina (and so on and so forth LOL). Well, now Karina and I continue to chat with one another, both in person and via expensive SMS (heh, not my bill LOL). Blah, I look forward to hanging out with her, and a few other at mi casa this weekend, well, on Sat. because this Friday and Saturday I'm going to be sadly leaving my MIKEY to go to Vasalia for the FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) regional competition. Hmm, time to eat, I'll finish this thought later, until then, bye all!!!

        Woo, for some "strange" reason, my day becomes much more positive when you-know-who isn't present to cloud my positive mood :-D! I'm feeling great, despite the fact that I have yet to study for biology *sighhhhhhhh*...Haha, today was actually career day, and I have an essay to write next period (5th-->Gov't) *another deep sighhhhhhhhh*...Yarg, better get to work!

        Wow, yesterday was pretty eventful (picking up pace as the day drew to a close)! Amanda L. and Sabrina P. came over to our house at in what appeared to be a frenzy, but we would later realize to be a ridiculously insane sugar rush, where they struggled to find words to tell us all about the 3 scoops of ice cream they had, with a waffle cone (yes I know Sabrina, WAFFLE does make you feel like waffeling in the morning LOL)! Jeezus, she and Sabrina stood in our living room giving us a preview of their newly engineered "dance" moves, which consisted of sad waves and rigid shuffles (way to go Amanda, shake your white bum!!!) LOL. It was hillarious, then, Krystin and Michelle chose to come and hang out, along with Gabe (crowded house by now), where a comepetion began with teams of two (Anthony with Amanda, and myself with the great, SABRINA PIPER!) in an effort to determine which "team" had the best (most creative) "hand shake" LOL...Needless to say, my team's "Sizzle" (the CLIMAX of our handshake) was more of a simmer, but we tried damn hard damnit!!! LOL, so, Amanda ended up winning with .5 points more *deep sigh of remorse*...I'll get her back LOL...ANY WHO, Gabe videotaped a good portion of it, and hopefully he'll remember to give Mr. Krone the tape, we wanna be on the Senior Video! HAHA, actually, we all acted somewhat childish, so I'm beginning to rethink that last statement haha...

        Moving on, as you might have already noticed, today's entry is a catostrophic mess of disordered thoughts strewn about on the web...I'm so ashamed *whhhaaaa!*

        OH OH, while I was in school, Karina gave me a cute note with her cell number on it, I was touched because its been months since I last had a good conversation with her, and I would rather maintain a relationship with her rather than allow us to drift apart as life progresses...Hmmm, I texted her while in 6th period (we weren't doing anything anywho, *ZzzZZz*) telling her that we should deffinately get together this weekend with a few friends, to which she quickly replied (wow, she can text, mad-speed yo) asking me to call her. SMILE! Haha, I called her when I got home and she and I spoke for about an hour or so, catching up on the new and discussing the old (aww, good times hehe). It was refreshing to share our thoughts with one another again, ahhh, and guess what?! Thats right, we're going to see a movie tonight @ Brendon theaters with Amanda, Krystin, Michelle (my sweetie), Gabe, Andrew, MIKEY!!!!, etc...Haha, I really am looking forward to it, but for now I have to rush over to the hospital to get my tags back (oh, did I forget to mention that I had blood drawn this morning?!)...In regards to that issue, haha, I walked into the hospital only to be hit with an extremely foul odor! The origin? Duh, a Filipino man sitting idly in the remotest corner of the lobby! Haha, well, I rushed out of there and straight to the lab, where I was prepped to have my blood drawn (yikes!)...Mikey called and told me to be "cool about it"...HAHAHAHHAHA...Needle + Stephen = NOOOOOO!!!!!!! *girlish squeel*!!! LOL, but what made the hurt ALL BETTA' was the fact that Shireen was there, she provided a pleasant "pick-me-up" on my visit, given her positive attitude and all-around perky demeanor (I love yah!)...Hmmmm, what other random thought can I come up with? OK, I'll conclude with one last thing (I promise)...

        Berrnie called (the cutest guy ever, I've had the BIGGEST crush on him for the past two years), I guess Shawn gave him my number, whatever, either way I was happy...SO YAH!...He called and reminded me of the party (an "all gay" get together) taking place at his friend Paul's house in Stockton...Well, a few of us were prepped to go (minus MIKEY, because he had to head back to Berkeley *whimper*) and then, WTF, Krystin calls to say that she would rather go to Josiah's "party", which was composed of over 24 drunken Mexicanos LOL, well, not much else to say at that point other than the fact that we left to visit Lauren, and then head back home (at around 1 or 2 am, whichever LOL)...Hmmm, oh and yes, Sean calls and now were going to hang out at B&N or his place with a few friends, g*d I love that guy! I'm trying to ask him out but I'm far too nervous, thanks for your help though Mercedes LOL!!! Anywho kids, I'm off to finish some house work and then a nice ol' fashioned SHOWER *squeek squeek shine*...Heading out soon chilin', bye for now!!! *Muahz*!!!

        Sahar finally sent the Winter Ball pics, woot! Wow, I just realized how bad I looked LOL...Oh well, Mike doesn't seem to mind (puurrr)...

        Any who, while "doing" homework I'm sitting here attempting to garner enough strength to finally ask Sean B. out, I've found him highly attractive for sometime now, and I enjoy our online/telephone conversations, however, I would rather that something more materialize from this. Hmmm, B&N perhaps? Hehe, well, enough of my RANTS, and instead, here are some really awful pics, love yah all (minus one), bye!!!

        I LOVE YOU SAHAR!!!

        Today was interesting...It started off well, with the abscence of a certain someone during first (yay), but then Sabrina informed me that I was accused of "talking shit" about her last year...Hmmm, who could have make such a terrible lie? Oh I'm sure I know (ODA = bitter)...Needless to say, we worked things out and it was A-OK...

        Afterschool, a few of us went to B&N to finish some of our homework (which there was little of hurray!), where we met up with Kyle, Angela, Andrew D., Garret, and Devin...Hence....NO WORK WAS DONE :-D...Instead, we went for free candy from Shana and food from China Cuisine, where eventually Brian Montgomery showed up, and guess what...HE WORKED (er...for about 15 minutes haha)...Anywho, once a few of us were finished, we went out to Best Buy, where a friend of ours suggested that we visit Joshy at Starbucks (yay, hes so much cuter now that I've come to learn more about him)! MMM, while I was enjoying my Soy Latte, Josh came out to tell us what was "goin' on" in "da hood", AKA T-Citai (209, let it shine izzles). Hmm, and keep in mind that this is a SCHOOL NIGHT, and we were standing out in the cold (not caring, b/c Mikey eventually showed up, and he ALWAYS warms me up LOL) for literally hours reminiscing over essentially everything...To be quite honest, I had an awesome time, glad to reknew many relationships that I strayed from while I was still in contact with whats-his-name (a person whom seemed to bring out a good deal of bitterness and negativity in me, pushing many people away as a result)...Well, I need to rush it (as you must have already inferred I was doing based upon the poor quality of my writing LOL), as I have an important "meeting" to attend with Mikey, bye bye!!! *Muah*



    2-16-04 --Monday~~~guestbook~~~view
        LOL, thus far its been a great morning people (not that you care) haha! I was woken up by an awesome text from a very awesome person, whom I cannot wait to see tomorrow :-D, followed by visit downstairs only to realize that a large pot of coffee had been made, and then thereafter I discovered that I woke up prior to 10am!!! Woot woot, I was able to finish some homework and chat with my special someone, with nothing to disturb this morning other than the banging of the wind against my poor ol' fence (which evidently looks as if it will soon collapse LOL). Any who, I'm currently working on an inordinate amount of homework, which I hope to finish before eight *crosses fingers* so I'll be able to head out to the gym tonight *hopefully* :-D...But from the looks of it (my chatting right now) I won't ge that far LOL...Oh well, looks as if the call of my homework is more powerful than the call of geocities, that being said, to work I go! By all, hope your morning is just as great ;-D!!!

    Funny junk: I came online and someone told me to visit a certain someone's website, given the fact that it had in it the most ridiculous junk (you know what I mean haha)...Well, upon visiting this website I just started to immediately crack up, most noteably after having read the following, which was written in regards to myself: right when I was fucking passing the park I saw some ?people? (people is too nice of a euphemism to refer to them as) pulling outta their street. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I can?t fucking be left alone! Anyway, I was like FUCK and just hid behind a bush.

    One word...sad...LOL! I sent it to S.B., who sent it to N.M., and then to B.M....Needless to say, laughter ALL AROUND! HAHAHAHA, I'm still amused by it, LOL, to think that someone would be so pathetic as to cower away in the bushes in fear that he'll be seen by someone who could give a shit about his existance LOL...But oh well, thats his prerogative, not mine (but thanks for the smile LOL)...And also, "I can't fucking be left alone!" <--how were we supposed to know that you were in our area, its better that we didn't LOL...

        OK ya'll, I'm off, later gators!!!

        Its late at night, I should really be heading to bed, but instead I'm online sharing with you feelings that I should really not make public...But heh, only a few people read this anywho haha...

        Tonight I recieved an e-mail from MikeY, where in it he explained to me that I should really be allocating more time for him, as I've been pretty bad about making phone calls and checking up on him (in a cute relationship fashion LOL), but I've tried to explain to him that my I've been somewhat tied down with recent interviews and of course "word" *cough: movies w/ amigos: cough*...But yes, after about an hour or so, he and I worked things through and we're still A-OK :-D to my surprise, in fact, I'm going to be having dinner with him next week *woot woot*! Hmm, I really miss him already, I haven't seen him in a week, but I'm looking forward to this...:-D *mood=giddy haha*

        Oh and one more thing, Joe and his BF Carlos stopped by, I was SOOOOO SOOOOO SOOOOOO pleased to see him again, its been about three weeks, with only a few short phone calls in between. We caught up on old times and new ones, hes doing awesome (for those that know him--Lauren, etc...) and is going to SDSU next fall...AND SPEAKING OF COLLEGE, Anthony got in to USNA (highly highly highly prestigious college)!!! I'm soo excited for him, but at the same time somewhat depressed, as he's going to Maryland in July, so I'll only have about three weeks or so to spend time with him, before hes gone...Oh well, thats another issue, but for now I'm going to see a movie w/ Andrew, Krystin, Nick, Gabe, and Anthony, so I'll talk to you peeps later...Bye, have an awesome night!!!

        Happy Valentines day! Today was deffinately a fun one, as Amanda Loder, Anthony, Jenn Talman and myself went out to Modesto to see a movie (50 First Dates) @ Brenden Theaters. I was surprised how much fun I actually had, as Amanda and I spoke to one another about "old times" and our futures, in regard to college plans and our personal lives. It was terfic, especially with Jenn Talman, shes very much more interesting than I had known her when speaking to her on campus, telling a good deal of jokes concerning *uhhhh*...NVM! Anywho, please excuse the poor quality of this entry, but I'm in somewhat of a rush...Off to B&N I go to study w/ a few peeps ya'll, later gators!!!

        Its FRIDAY...and I was bored so therefore I chose to snap odd photos of people in the room...So here they are:


    2-12-04 --Thursday~~~guestbook~~~view
        Poo, I had the chance to go to B&N w/ a certain someone but was unable to because of the one day that I forgot to check my e-mail!!! YARG *room begins to tremble*! Oh well...Anywho, I'm sitting in the career center right now, during my lunch break, and am thinking about the up-and-coming Disneyland trip this May, woot woot! However, I realize that if I don't head downstairs right now to pay the fee, alongside my turning in my permision slip I might be unable to request the bus I want! This bus being Bus #2...Why, you ask? Only because of the fact that I would be sitting with close friends, and of course, ANDREW D.! This is one craZies kid, what with all his "who ha" and his "brew hahas" *old timey music plays*...Haha, actually, riding on a bus with Nick, Anthony, Gabe, Andrew, myself, Mike, Sean, Sahar, etc. is the equivalent to...dare I say it...Heaven *angels play melody* :-D...That being said, I should run downstairs to do that right now, in addition to getting some grub...This panda is starving! Later gators!!!

    2-10-04 --Tuesday~~~guestbook~~~view
        I have to say that today has been one of the best days that I've had in a very long time! I felt refreshed and rejuivinated, full of energy, the origin of which I am still uncertain. However, I came to school (which is where I am now--at lunch hehe) with a totally positive attitude, feeling as if nothing could bring me down. And, to facilitate this, my first, second, third, and fourth period classes have thus-far given me no homework! In addition to that, during class I spent a good deal of time chatting it up, which helped to inspire greater positive feelings for today (I haven't laughed this much in about a week *owie* hehe)! Hmmm, now that I apply more thought to it, I believe that the source of my newly uplifted attitude is a lengthy discussion I had with someone of whom I've just come to know and learn to really like. However, for the sake of their privacy *cough cough: Sean B.* I will not mention his/her name *cough Sean cough* ;-D...In fact, this discussion was about 2 to 3 hours in length, in fact, it was one of the best I've had in a very very very very very very long time! I wasn't even unsettled by the overall lack of sleep, it was WELL worth it :-D! Anywho, I need to run so I'll fill the rest in later, bye!!!

    Note: I just set up a guestbook, so feel free to sign :-P...Ok, I'm gone now, bye bye!!!

        WAIT! *Sigh*...If your a lazy G, then you can view the guestbook, because I'm sure you can't resist LOL...Alright now, ya'll git, git!!!

    well what i had already premeditated yet didn't care to counteract has become reality: looks like someone's very sensitive yet quite large ego has taken quite a stab - so much so that he has pathetically gone to extremes to make a blog with the sole intent of downgrading carl. well, carl hasn't read it, nor does he have any desire to read something deriving from one's pathetically callow mind. it's really sad: i have moved beyond the deprecating likes of you but you still remain statically as bitter as ever. we don't speak, don't look at each other, and the only way you acknowledge that i exist is by turning your whole body at a ninety degree angle to avoid touching me when we are forced to walk by one another. i guess i STILL have less than half a year of drama to deal w/ b/c of you. you just can't leave me alone. bugging brian to get the link to this or whatever and you actually read the whole thing...that's just sad itself. stephen matta, leave me alone and get a fucking get a life--Source: ODA's blog

        Since when did I create a blog to downgrade anyone? Wow, that says a lot ;-)...Who has the ego now? OK, this blog has nothing to do with you (other than the previous, which I wrote out of spite for your rude comments in reference to me) so please please please try to get over yourself. I could care less about you, in fact, this blog was designed for me to vent not to banter on about you. But, being as you are, you have chosen to relocate your entire site (HAHAHAH)! That says it all, well anywho people, I'm off to finish some HW, have a great morning!

    P.S. Is it not a right to express one's feelings in a way that they see fit? Well, this is my right so back off. Oh and take my name down from off of your message (on your former blog), I take strong offence to that. Also, GROW UP :-D

        Looking forward to an excellent day, as I have lots to do and lots in store! Woot! More specifically, I'm going to Valley Fair (I believe its called) with a few friends to shop for a bit (hmmm, whatever) and do a lil' roaming, may not sound interesting however, but the true purpose behind going is to be close to a special someone ;-) on a wonderful Sunday morning (ideal sounding isn't it? all thats missing is the sunlight breaking through the clouds to pour over us in an angelic way LOL). Hmmm *taps foot*, what else? OK, so we haven't planned that far ahead! Grrr...Dangit, OK, I'll be on later to describe the rest, but for now I need to get ready, bye all, and have an excellent morning (minus ODA)!!!

        Looking back on yesterday's entries it became clear to me that I while I was writing I was under the influence of extreme rage, something that blinded me from realizingn just how ridiculous and petty my statements (in regards to ODA) have really been. I've thought about it, if he wants to criticize me online feel free, if he wants to refer to me as "fuker", then by all means do so, but I will no longer continue with this childish game. I appoligize for being so rude as well as crass and will hopefully be able to forget about yesterday's events.

    Carl:
        Reading you blog I am able to see that you have not yet gotten over the past, in reference to our former ?relationship? shared long ago?More specifically, I have noticed that you often refer to me throughout your entries in the form of ?fucker? and ?someone?, where you will often move on to make very rude and utterly insulting remarks. Know this: I NEVER even think of you, and when I do, I think of only HATE and DISGUST?Personally, I would rather that you leave me or any reference to me out of your blog, in hopes that you may someday ?let me go??Perhaps you may think of the previous statement as being conceited or maybe you won?t, but either way I would prefer that you forget me and hopefully move onward with your dismal life (that consisting mostly of complaints and sorrowful *cough* stories about your ?horrible? life, etc?*cough*?or rather, call for sympathy (as if you don?t get enough)?So please?I have forgotten you, in fact, I have moved far beyond you (despite what you may think, nay, cling to)?I am happily coupled with a ?close friend? whom is in fact going to Berkeley, so hopefully, in the future, I may be able to spend more time with him?THAT?S PERFECT! A solution arises, does it not? Why don?t you pre-occupy yourself with a BF?! That way, you?ll receive ALL of the sympathy you want, and everyone (those who are forced to listen to you) will continue on with their lives in peace!!! Hmmm?.running out of things to say??????.

        Oh yes! For someone who preaches the need to move on with life I've noticed that you still have not, mentioning me/referencing me in a few of your entries...*sigh*...People were right, you are bitter...Anywho, I would like to say more but for now, I think its time for some JambaJuice *sip sill!!!

    P.S. Find someone else to destroy, STOP speaking about me to other people and online, and MOVE on you pathetic piece of shit?Hopefully you too will develop cancer and forever leave this world, and me forever!!! Hmm, and lets not forget that it was YOU who scared me off, with your obsessive nature and your paranoid accusations?I personally find your company to be something which strongly disturbs and unsettles me, so hopefully GOODBYE for good (damn creep)?

        Anywho, on a MUCH lighter note?I went VF in San Jose to shop with a few friends (Krysitin, Nick, Mark, Anthony, Mike, Elise, etc?) to shop and to spend time with one another. We eventually trailed off onto the SJSU campus to visit my half-brother and his friends, at which point we ate dinner together and shared about THREE HOURS of continued conversation! I was surprised myself?OH AND ALSO (haha) Sassy (Sadaf) called and asked if I was interested in going to her prom at Elk Grove High (Sacremento) with Sahar and her date. Needless to say I said ?sure? and BAM, I learned that Sassy had already determined my response, and therefore had plans made out for our trip about three-weeks in advanced! Haha, the limo, etc?Evidently we?re ALL (a group of 18) going together in a stretch SUV (crappers) etc?going to SF to eat dinner and pick up the others, hurray! Haha, and on top of that we have a Disneyland trip coming soon, woot woot! Yarg, I need to stop typing so quickly, I?m waaayyyy too hyper to maintain steady thought so I?ll call it a night, haha, I?m off to Dublin, bye bye peoples, I love you all (minus one obsessive a**hole)!!!

        I'm sitting here, gazing into my monitor with a some-what glazed look smeared across my face, as my mind is placed within a dream-like state of utter static...However, I find that I am also alerted to the myriad of things that appear to dance around me, concerning more specifically the problems of my friends. For instance, while surfing the profiles of various individuals within my "Buddy List" I came across a link to someone's blog...While at this person's blog I imerse myself in their words, delving as deep as I could into the workings of their minds--during the time in which they wrote their entries...As I did this, I was stunned to read a very small segment of this person's entry which alarmed me, in addition to pushing my mind into a state of "enlightenment"...This text, reading "I imagine knowing 5 years from now are people in my family.. And that's just because they're family. I won't know anyone" startled me, as I began to consider the idea that the very individuals with whom I have grown with, shared numerous memories and experiences with, and loved will soon be but a mere memory to me, as we will all move in our separate paths through life--in regards to our entering into college within little more than months...I allowed this thought to fester in my mind, passing back and forth over it, in hopes of connecting to it omething that would work to comfort me...Fortunately, something did...I thought of the fact that I will never really be leaving any of these people behind, I will in fact be attending school with a few of them, and others I will maintain direct communication with (as I have with now freshmen college students throughout the year)...Once more, I have my BF with whom to go to as I enter into my college life, as person with whom I may find comfort and precious conversation, allowing out thoughts to play with one-another...I can't wait, needless to say (hehe) but at the same time I cannont wait, where the thought of leaving behind good friends (minus one obsessive wreck) pains me...The future may tell I guess...Until then, hope all is well, but I'm off to Starbucks *mmmmm* to share a coffee with some amigos, bye bye ya'll!!!

        I need to finally scan this year's Winter Ball pictures and put them online, but I'm too damn lazy LOL! Sahar and Sadaf look SOOOO cute, nay, they looked HOT! Thats it, I'm marrying them both, its decided...Awwww, Afghan women mrow ;-) LOL...Also, if MiKiE doesn't have a heart-attack I'm also going to post pictures of him and I on here in the near future haha, but for the time being I'm off to visit my babey Kim @ *Bucks!!! Laterz haters!!!

        I am SOOOOOO happy that I cannot express it in words (which I will struggle to LOL)!!! I just had my Duke interview this morning in Modesto, at an awesome coffee house called Cafe Deva (a place that I recommend ALL should go) off of J Street...Anywho, the time prior to actually getting to Modesto may be defined by some as pure HELL, where a handful of us were rushing to get our things together (showers, dress up, etc) at my house (which was at that time a madhouse of activity, and humor thanks to Saharie!)...After having put ourselves together we rushed out to Krystin's "trusty" Acura *cough sputter cough*, where we noticed that her clock read "9:00am"!!! Without really thinking, we literally sped our way to Mo-Town, at around 80 to 90 mph!!! Needless to say, we arrived just in time for all of our separate interviews (Anthony had one about and hour after mind for USNA, Krystin had another for an internship with Sac. State) *whew*...ANYWHO, we all went to get our drinks in Cafe Deva where I sat alone, waiting for my interviewer (and the cute server to come back with my drink ;-) )

    ...Finally, he arrived, a Duke alumni for the class of '90...He was the worlds most polite man! He was in his late 30s but actually looked 22, carried with him a gentle smile and an ideal sense of humor (much to my surprise--I had heard a much different story from Serabjeet haha)!!! We started the actual interview after about what seemed like an hour of conversation, so things seemed to be off to an excellent start *crosses finers*...He asked me some basic information, such as school activities, community service work, etc...His eyes seemed to light up when I mentioned that I had at one point been Vice President of our school's GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) chapter, where he mentioned that he too was Vice President of the organization in HS. I was shocked and quite frankly, pleasantly surprised, most noteably when he mentioned that he was a gay man active in the "gay movement" (betterment of the community and our perception in society). He then asked, very indirectly, what it was like to be and to lead other homosexual/curious students in the Central Valley. I responded by saying that its deffinately a difficult thing, given that the Valley tends to be much more conservative when compared to the surrounding Bay Area. Upon hearing this, he mentioned that he too was raised in a conservative area (Delaware) and found his work to be done with great difficulty. I was SOOO pleased to hear this, as we continued to speak and share out experiences, ranging from my having been a foreign exchange student (which he was also, to many of the SAME COUNTRIES!!!) to our involvement in Key Club! I was exstatic, we shared a very close connection, laughing often and continuing our conversation for literally HOURS (2 and a half more specifically), a very very very good deal of time for such things as interviews LOL!

        Afterwards, as the interview came to a close, my interviewer mentioned that I would deffinately be getting his "thumbs up and seal of approval". I swear I almost grabbed his face and kissed him! Furthermore, after Anthony's interview later that afternoon, Anthony was informed that he would be getting his interviewer's "strong recommendation" along side his already existing Congressional Nomination! I am SOOO happy for Anthony's success! He has been told that he is guaranteed his spot in the USNA (United States Naval Academy), a HIGHLy prestigious school (ranked second to West Point)!!! Wow, this year is deffinately moving smoothly, not only with our college futures but primarily with the relationship that my brother and I share. It seems that without Carl (whom will be referred to as "ODA", meaning "obsessed and depressed asshole") Anthony and I have been able to share our a close bond, something that has not been done since I've met ODA...I cannot thank "heaven" enough for my expelling of ODA and my renewed relationship with my now close friend Anthony :-D...

    Well, need to get back to my scholarship searching 'n cleanin' *ZZZzzzz* and then...*gasp*...BF TIME!!! I love my Mike haha, nighty all!!!
