Thank God for Spring Break!

It's been making me think, this spring break. for one, I'm glad I have it.

for two, I'm kind of excited to start the new quarter, cause I wanna start anew.

That and I'm thinking about taking a dance class! :]

YAYAYYAYAYAYAYAY! but it's also $25 so we'll see about that, but there are some free classes that seem like a nice time away from the hall if you know what I mean. and anyway...

I posted this on facebook a while back now, and I'm proud that I still have it up. but thought that I'd always post it on here since I've been so behind but I'm actually excited and hopefully these new things would actually be some fun.

So, if you don't know, Winter Quarter 2010 was not at all that much fun. If it wasn't homework and other work related things, it was drama and other "fun" crap I'd rather not bother to repeat, unless you want to go into details with me, send me a message and be ready to read a nice long essay. While some of it may even seem trivial, it has gotten me to rethink this whole college thing. I've realized that, like all the other times I've moved, I'm not truly myself. I think finally staying put and schooling with the same people from middle school to high school graduation helped me come out more and be more outgoing. Coming into college, I felt that I was going to be able to do the same and at this moment I feel that i've still been hiding a lot that comes out when I'm talking with people from home. So next quarter, Spring 2010, I have decided I'm going to do things a little different and actually try to enjoy college life instead of remaining cooped up and not doing anything about it. My Spring Quarter Resolutions: 1. Not let people get to me or walk all over me - I feel that I've allowed people to not just bug me, but get under my skin and cause my blood to boil. Next quarter, all the people who I have worried and gotten upset about I will no longer care as much as I do today. While this may not sound hard, but it will be for me because I like to not leave people behind or let people I care enough about to screw themselves over, but it is also time for me to begin to think about my own education first. 2. I am going to go to a party! - This I ask of anyone, get me out of the dorms and classrooms and get me to party. Get me out of doing the same thing every week, the same exact things. In high school, I already did exactly the same and I don't regret it, but I want to be able to do something else. I'm in college I need to go to at least one while I have time, and this year maybe the only year I can afford to do so. 3. I am going to a club - I've promised myself this from even before school started. I want to go to a club and have fun. I want to see what it's like and just enjoy the night for once that isn't just a movie and pjs or tv and facebook. 4. I will join a club and keep involved with it. - While I am in Katipunan and it has been fun, I want to meet new people that are also going to be focused on school and going to drive me to keep going with my goals in life. I found a group, found many different people actually, at North that would do the same for me, but I don't have my North High friends here to do the same and I need friends outside of my hall. (FOR LEILANI: SHOULD I STILL JOIN CIRCLE K?) 5. I will keep up my gpa - As much as I want to stay loose and have fun, I do need to keep my GPA up and this is to remind me to keep working hard and not slow down just because summer is on the way soon. 6. I will stay true to myself -- the geeky, nerdfighter, harry potter loving, heart-on-my-sleeve person. - This is like 5 and is something I want to make sure that I stay true to and remains the same. People tagged in this, I tag you because I trust you and I know you will guide me the right way. You guys have treated me as equals and told me when I was wrong and helped me get through all these hard times that I don't want college to change my personality. I don't mind that college may change my views on politics and different social ideas but don't let it take away the one thing I always keep hidden from many people and let me remain the friend and person you guys know I can be. If you have read this far, thank you. really the people tagged in this make my life amazing. College has not been all bad, so don't get that idea. I've enjoyed many things and I've enjoyed the people I've met through Engineering and enjoyed the good times in the dorms. But at the same time, I haven't been all to happy this quarter either.

I just want to be happy again.

I want to be wanted, not asked because of pitty.

I want you to want me.

I need something to do with my mind besides homework and test.

I want to stop thinking about the problems.

I want to enjoy life.

I just want to be happy and feel wanted.

Yay for Comments!

This was going to be titled so differently, but then I found I had comments! yay! ;]

so thanks for them you who do/have read. that was nice to see! :]

but anyways, I've slightly changed my news years resolution.

Instead of blogging EVERY day, at LEAST 3 times a week... on a good week anyway. Midterms and finals well that might not be as possible... haha

At the same time, I plan to go to the gym at LEAST 2twice a week.

So far so good. :]

Dorm life, as much as it is good to be back, also means the stress is gaining. I can tell. SO MUCH READING AND SO LITTLE SLEEP!! :[

bleh bleh bleh bleh.

BUT SOMETHING GOOD IS COMING! :] HOMECOMING!!

and Heat music festival! ;]

The hall is also beginning Assassins.

Everyday there is a safety item and each person has someone they're in charge of killing. and the spoon is the weapon. and can only kill them with the weapon when they don't have their safe item on them. There are some other rules like when you can kill someone and can't and ect. but I'm also pretty excited. We'll see how this turns out! :]

The Game of hiding Jamiroquai continues.

This was completely Kelly's idea that hiding spot. He was missing for a while though but Amber finally found him with a lot of hints.

"I swear he's here... Oo, A quarter!"

And it's Anfoknee! :] with a PANDA cup!

New Years Resolution Already FAILED...

I told myself I was going to blog every night. I kind of doubt it's possible, especially b/c my hall is always up so dang late and once homework starts to kill me again... Which I know it will. Especially CS 10.

but since I've been gone, Finals week was hell.

Winter Break was nice. and i feel so much fatter cause of it.

WENT to the beach! :]

Sarah's Debut was fun. good times! :] Sleepover and Buster...

Karaoke and Smart Water and Fro Yo

Christmas I got money AGAIN!! :] YAY!

Grandma and Grandpa had their 50th anniversary. It wasn't too bad except for $100 WATER!!! WTF... and my uncle always taking the food before I could reach it...

And went to the Snow! :] This place was on the way to Lake Taho. and was during the 10 days in no cal.

Moving back into the dorms kind of sucked. Means no more wii and Band Hero and wifi and unlimited food, and a big bed.

But I was glad to be back after my family went home and it was just me with the dorm hanging. It was as if we've never left. It was good to be back to see everyone and such.

There's a new member of B3, she's pretty cool and she's fitting right in.

First day of class was well tech. yesterday and wasn't bad at all. I'm scared for Wednesday, that's going to be one hell of a day... I hate labs already. 3 hours of class... straight! for lab anyway.

We'll see how his all works out...

"**taken from Linda, whose blog I frequent (however, it is on tumblr and we cannot cross pollinate"

Monte Carlo, New Moon, ding dong ditch, and a little slice of home

A picture from Monte Carlo night! :]

That's B3 for ya! :] It was really fun actually. I enjoyed most of the night, emphasis on most of the night. It was cold like crap though, and my feet started to hurt by the end of it, but go figure. Watched a bunch of them gamble away their chips, even though most of them had no idea. I prefered dancing! :] This was quiet so time ago now though... cause it was the same week Sara came to visit.

I also went to the Katipunan Gobble Gobble event. It was pretty fun and I have a Kuya now! ;] He's pretty cool but was also kind of one of them awkward kind of moments cause I didn't know what to do or say...

That saturday we went to see New Moon with Michelle, Kelly, Janel, and even dragged Elo along! :] Which you can see above! :] I got proof!

It was okay overall, 100% better than Twilight, first time I've seen a sequel that was that much better than the first. The really good parts were just Jacob and his oh so amazing hot abs though! Holy Crap i just wanted to touch them!! lol

But overall it was a so so movie. I won't be watching it twice in theaters.

This is what happens when Amber is gone for the weekend... haha But really Jorge was hiding away from Kelly and Michelle because he likes to play the dorm version of ding dong ditch only more like rattle the door knob and run away.

He was scared at this point, very scared... haha

And Max can never pass up a time from teasing Kelly and Michelle either.

But the only one who did get someone hurt, was Elo when Michelle threw an air freshener at his balls. go figure something like that would happen! :]

And Kelly's new obsession with Twilight (b/c of Jacob! :]) she got Isabel's extra New Moon poster that Kelly has to return eventually. But this is all the guys can do. Pretty funny though because Jorge and Elo should be so switched by looks... lol but of course Bella becomes Miley Cyrus for the inside jokes. I'm so tempted to go into photoshop and actually put the pictures in said located spots.

And Thanksgiving was fun. I had caught up on SOOO much sleep it was pretty amazing! :] But picture is my youngest cousin Zoie. Grandma kept calling her "Joey" cause of that lovely pilipino accent. It was pretty funny cause then she was like what kind of name is that? haha Grandma Leony I love you for that line. She was really cute though because she was just so intreagued with Sophie the dog while her sister was screaming the after Sophie would come one step into the room. Go figure...

Now it's back to R'side and I can't believe that I went to bed at 4, and have been up since 7:45, then again, I almost didn't wake up this morning.

And found out my essay was pushed back! :] thank goodness! It's due day of the final, so that kind of sucks because I have my first final that Saturday then Sunday is the "secret santa" even though it's more of don't tell the person you have kind of deal. haha

But I can't WAIT for winter break already... It's going to be the first one in a long while that I didn't have any homework to do and it's even 3 weeks! ;]

So I'm back home where I can pay video games and sleep as much as I want by Dec. 12th! :]

And North people watch out! I'll be heading there one day on you're last week cause I miss everyone there!

The letters I sent out the other day. see proof of them at least closed, addressed, and stamped on my desk! :]

And I needed to finish a paper yesterday, and the day before was in the Science library where I actually CHECK out books. It was kinda cool, I was like amazed with home many books there were I don't know why, but I was! :] lol

Yesterday after i blogged, we learned vectors. and guess who used e as a variable... yes, my math professor. I watched these two start to raise and put down their hands the whole time because they were like omg!! haha but then he changed it to upside down e cause he "even made us yell it"

And today on campus they were giving out this book. The origin of Species by Charles Darwin. I was pretty amazed it's been 150 years since he first published it. It should help me in bio anthroplogy, that is of course if i read it.

I found this in the book though, I find it kind of weird. It's one of them will you go to heaven things. Now I'm confused... is it supposed to be a religious thing or a evolution kind of thing.

But at least now I think I know what i'll write about in my debate essay coming up! ;] haha

I really don't like that miles cyrus is on it though... that just sucked... bleh

but it reminded me of that episode of family guy where she was like a robot. it was funny for watching at 3 am when I couldn't fall asleep.

and note: Recess is on the disney channel at 4am. I found out when I turned the TV on cause I needed to slow myself down so I could fall asleep. but at least I had better sleep, even if only 4 hours, than I have like all week.

But the coffee might also be in effect right now.

----

I went and got a donut. and i saw my TA for math. I don't know why, but I really didn't want him to notice me. It was kinda weird... but I also saw I guy that reminded me of Hamilton but that could jut be because Donna mentioned if anyone knew where he was going to school.

and i got another copy of that book! so if anyone wants one, hit me up and i'll send it to you. Maybe i'll get another one... you never know. hehe! :]

goodness gracious, so much to do so little time.

in class again... no joke. math this time too with only a min. before he starts, but he's not here yet so i guess i'm somewhat okay. at least no midterm! :]

woo! but seriously, there is just so much to do lately. Essay number 4 due tomorrow and i still need at least another page and better conclusion before I can turn it in. I've had no meals on my meal plan though! :] good thing cause i need it for brunch on the weekend yet gain.

then there is a midterm on thursday. math's second midterm and it's going to probably be hell...

boo to logs and all that stuff. not fun at all.

yesterday I sent to the science library and actually looked and checked out book! seriously. got a pic of them on my desk.

and I also send out my letters to donna, riju, and mommy yesterday. didn't forget! :]
