First semester of college is finally finished!!!!! Boy, was it difficult! but I did it haha! hopefully my grades will be okay :O! It's christmas break <3333333

Hope everyone have an amazing break :)

MOoOooOoooOOoooo

WOW! it has been a very long time since I've been here. I have been busy lately with school. It's my first year in college, and wow, it is a BIG change. O_O. I had never took AP classes in high school, so I had no idea how hard it would be in college. High school was a breeze for me, and in college I actually have to study. I usually hang out with Patrick and Jimie everyday and it's really nice. We're like the three musketeers hahaha. We're always seen with each other, and if one is missing, then something is wrong. It's almost Thanksgiving already, but it's not going to be that fun. I have to take my wisdom teeth out on the day before Thanksgiving, so no yummy food for me :(. AND! I have to write papers...great.....

But besides from all that, my life isn't that bad. I go home at around 1-3 sometimes, and it's really nice :). Overall, college is pretty nice. =]

Awhile ago, me and my best friend had fears that we would separate because we go to different schools now. She's still in high school, so it would be hard for us to hang out. But I came to realize that if both people try, everything will work out. So the fear is gone, and we're even better than before ^__^

Here are some pictures from halloween! muahwhwhahaha. Can anyone guess who we are :D?

And the group!

Dialogue in the dark and Ra!

So I went to Dialogue in the dark recently, and it was intense. Basically, you're in a building and you go into this room with a cane and then they shut the lights off. It is pitch black, and you cannot see the hand in front of you. You are lead by a blind guide into this familiar, new world. Throughout the journey, you will take a walk in the park, go grocery shopping, cross the street, and ride a boat. It is hard because you will eventually want to see again, but you can't until you finish the event. It made me really think that wow, we can see again in about 5-10 minutes, but these people will never ever get to see again. And we were helped lead by my friend's little sister who is only 7. So, that was interesting.
After that, we went around looking for a sushi restaurant called Ra. The GPS took us around and around and we wasted so much gas doing nothing. We spent about 30-45 minutes looking for the place with the GPS until Truc My turned it off and turned it back on. AND THEN! it worked...That was frustrating.
But it was a wonderful day, so it was all good :)

Everything is just a dream...

You ever had that wishing for your future to turn out happy, but in the end it won't? Because you know things will not work out the ways you wish it to be because life is not easy. Life is never easy, and it doesn't matter how good of a person you are, your future is blegh. I have finally came to that conclusion today, and I now know that my future is clear.

Creepers do exist O_O!

So on July 4th, I went to second mom's place to get the table to get ready for the party. She made me work because the place was busy and I shampooed and massage two people that day. The first customer was fine, but the second one was odd. To get tips, you have to converse with the customers to get to know them more personal. But this customer went a bit too personal. He is 39 years old and is from Iran. Single and live with his brother.
We talked, and eventually he told me I'm an interesting person. I said, "Thank you, you too." To be friendly and all, you know? When I went to massage/clean his face, he told me he like my touch. He then proceeded to ask me if I can give him a massage multiple times. I replied that I couldn't because I'm not specialized in it. He even asked if I could massage him with the door open. He then asked me if I wanted to go to dinner with him one day, and he tried this weekend. I told him I couldn't because I work everyday and go to church on Sunday. He then asked for my number and in which I replied sure to be friendly, I guess.I don't know why I did that. But then later changed it to I lost my phone though, so I couldn't give it to him. In the back ground, I hear Truc My yelling, "Juliet! Someone just called you!" I eventually told him that I was using my brother's phone. So as I was finishing up, he asked me if I could rub his chin.
I was like, "okay, why not.."
Then he asked me to touch his ears. I was like, "okay......"
Then!!! He held my hand to lead me to where he wants his ears to be touch, and I think I lost it. He held onto it way longer than I expected, so I pulled my hand out, and finished up.
When I finished, I asked Truc My if we could go home now. She saw that her mom wasn't finish yet, so she said not yet. I told her I am going to go hide now, and I hid in the restroom, trying to regain my composure. I then heard knocking, and I seriously thought it was the dude looking for me.
In the end, he gave me his dental card and gave me $34 tip. I think I saw him grabbed all his money out of his wallet and for what I do...it's only $10. O_o. So was it worth it..?

Myrtle beach!

I just recently came back to myrtle beach, and I had to say...it was amazing. All the stress that we put into planning it was really annoying, but so definitely worth it. We planned the hotel, car, date/time, food, places to go, what to bring..Jeez. So we had 3 rooms. One for parents, girls, and guys. We sneaked in two girls to make it cheaper for us =D! hehe..kind of cool.
So...the first day we went, the waves were awesome. The beach was awesome. It just reminded me of California again. Second day, we did the same thing. Beach, eat, and relax! And shopping!! We all went to all these different stores, and then returned to em. I bought a t-shirt, new swimsuit, shorts, and a lacrosse vizor! ^__^. We walked for 4 hours going from store to store...
Third day Miss Dao rented a moped, and it was so cooooooooool! It was my first time on it, and her driving on it was awesome :D! We googled map the place, and walked to rent it. We returned after an hour because we were pretty sure it was the wrong way. We went home again, and looked it up again, and went the other way and still got lost. We returned to a gas station, asked dad to drive us there, and we found it -.-. So in the end, we spent another 4 hours, walking aimlessly. =.=. but it was so worth it!
Afterwards, we went to the fair thing, and it was awesome! Roller coasters, Big wheel thing, spinny circle thing..man. it was awesome. Alex lost his hat on the roller coaster though, so the next day while everyone was packing up, me and miss dao went to go buy him a new hat! ^__^. everyone pitched in, so i bet that this hat was better than his last hat. After we packed up, we went to broadway at the beach, and headed home. On the way, we went to the fireworks stand, and bought some fireworks that fly up! Which is exciting because in Georgia, it's illegal to sell the one that flies up. =D. Let's just wait until July 4th event!

Rant with Bleach.

Alright. It's been 30 chapters without Rukia, and I am tired of it. It is not Bleach without Rukia. This is stupid, just bring her back already. -.-

 Sincerely, Tired Bleach fan

INFECTION!!!

So during the middle of last week, Miss Dao woke up with a bug bite in her ear. It didn't look bad at first, until it turned like a big pimple in her ear. She kept squeezing it out to try to get rid of it, but it keeps coming back. The next few days, my foot decided to land on an ant hill. The next day, my foot got swollen and red, and it really really hurts walking on it. I was basically limping to get to places. There was also two gigantic red popping up stuff, just like a pimple too. It really hurts, and I had no idea what to do, so I just left it alone.
So because my foot was swollen and hurts really bad, my dad decided to take me to the doctors. I have an infection, and they poked my err..pimple thingy on my foot, and squeeze out the bad stuff and gave me antibiotics.
The next day, Miss Dao went to the doctor for her bug bite in her ear, and found out it's also an infection. The doctor squeezed out the weird stuff, and blood and she sat there not saying anything. Her teeth and hands were clenching, and it was just so wow. O_O. Such a strong little girl..But it must run in the family.
Her little 2 year old brother went with her to the clinic and had to get two shots. When the doctor came in and took his blood, he was confused. He sat there silently and looked at the woman taking his blood. Then he kept asking to leave, and we asked the doctor for candy. She got the basket of candy, and in 2 seconds, Kaden got 3 lollipops in his hand. Later, we had to lay him down for two shots. I didn't even look at the needle, and when the first one went into him, he started crying. The second one came into him, he cried more, and then 30 seconds later, he stopped. Both were brave little Daos XD!
...i would probably cry.
THEN!!! today, apparently, Doc came home with red spots on her arm. She thinks its fleas, and she took a shower and everything and vacuuming her room. She told her Miss Dao not to touch her, and right now Dao is in the shower because...she probably touch her. Oh dear...crazy week.

It's over.

High school is finally over, and I'm really sad about it to be honest. :\ High school is the only time where you get to see your friends for 8 hours and more with extra curricular activities. It is where childhood ends, and the life of an adult begins. I don't want to be an adult..Everyone is going everywhere, and there will be friendships that will be lost. The only thing that makes me happy is that hope. Hope that we'll all be with each other again..That is why I will keep on moving.

There should be a time for your friends, and a time for your lover.

You ever hanged out with a couple of friends and it was great and everything until...two of them falls in 'love'? Then they get all lovey dovey with each other all the time at all the next hang outs and it just makes you and everyone else feels awkward. They would call each other lovely names like "sweetie, babe" and it's just so, so awkward. Sure, they're cute and everything, but do they have to do it now? Don't they have enough time to do that already?
Sheesh. And its annoying especially if you guys were good friends before, and now all the dude can talk about is her.The dude follows her like some puppy. Jeez. Man up!
lalala~

Helping Special Ed, fighting cancer, 5k run, and Mother's Day!

So on Friday the 6th, I helped with Special Olympics with Truc My and Jimie in the morning. The special ed kids were really cute. They look up to us as their heroes because we play the real sports. So for just one day, Special Olympics is their time to shine. So even if the kiddy got 6th place, they had a huge smile plastered on their face and it's just really precious.
After that long day of Special Olympics, I went to Relay for Life with Truc My, Jenny, Nathen, and Khanh.
It was so cool :D! It was a fair and we played games, the food were great (because Truc My paid for Relay for life thing, it was free), and we saw many people there! ^__^! It was just amazing. And at the end, there was this walk thing where everyone had candles and it would be really dark. The bagpipe people started playing and many people followed them with their candles. Whenever I would look up and see people's teary faces, I wanted to cry too..It was an amazing experience.
So I came home from Relay for Life at like 11-12ish and slept over Truc My's house. We woke up at 7ish and immediately got ready for a 5k. My goal was to keep on running and to never stop until the end. It was the hardest goal that I had ever done physically and my knee kept aching, and it was just so so hard. But I somehow managed to push myself. At the beginning of the race, I was in the back and I saw Amy, Nathen, Jimie, Danny, and Patrick's back. I just ran and ran and one by one, I would pass them all except for Amy. Amy is a cross country runner, so she doesn't count. :P I passed Patrick and Danny then Jimie. Nathen was the only one in our group who had actually trained for this 5k, and I somehow even managed to passed him once, but he ran again and beat me. In the end, Amy got first, Nathen got second, and Jimie got third in our group. When we put our names and times in our age group, it was Amy who got first place and she got a medal, me in second and I got a medal, and it should have been Truc My that should got third place and medal, but I messed up. Bad. Since Patrick threw me his paper to put in the box, I put it in for him, but I didn't see Truc My motioning me to put hers in to..So I didn't know. But that was the down point of the weekend. It made me feel really bad and all I could do was nothing.
After the race, we immediately went to Truc My's sister's dancing recital. It was about an hour away so that was kind of long. She was really cute though =D
So I came home at around 9 and ended up sleeping at 12. I woke up on Sunday at 6:30am for church! Sheesh, no sleep at all...I hanged out with them until about 7ish and came home and there was a party for mom! ^__^! She looked quite happy when we gave her a card, candy, and a paper flower XD haha. Man, Terrific but tiring weekend for sure =]

Happy Easter!

So I've been going to Truc My's church for about....half a year now o.O. It's kind of cool :d
This week is holy week! Where Jesus died and got resurrected and stuff. So there was mass on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday! This was what I learned ^__^! But I don't fully understand Vietnamese, so...
Thursday was the day where Jesus wash his disciples'  feet. It was kind of cool with the message behind it all. Something about how if Jesus, the great son of God, wash other people's feet, then we should do it too. We should look out for everyone, not just the people above us. ...I think. Anyways that was kind of cool, and I understood it in Vietnamese, all by myself ^___^!
Friday was the day that Jesus died .. It was so intense. To be honest, I didn't really understand what the three people were singing exactly, but I am pretty sure it was some sort of monologue that everyone was having before he died. or so...Before mass started, Truc My told me to go up with her family to kiss Jesus' feet. The lights turned off, and the security people who takes care of traffic was holding onto the cross with this alter server leading them. The cross still had the purple cloth that was hiding Jesus. After they brought the cross up there, both priests finally untied the purple cloth that hid Jesus and finally let him loose. I haven't seen what's behind that cloth for a really long time now and it just gave me goosebumps when they took it off. It was so intense. Then people got up to kiss his feet. And when it got to our row's turn, I didn't know what to do. I went up and waited in line, and as I got onto my knees to kiss his hand, someone pushed me aside to the middle, so I kissed his tummy. o_o. eh..Well. I was kind of scared, to be honest. Maybe not scared, but the emotions that went through me was kind of intense..
Sunday He is alive again =D! Mass started later today also, but I still woke up late. -.-.
Normal mass and everything is all prettied up in the sanctuary. No more purple cloths hiding everything, and there was this art painting displaying Jesus going up into Heaven. And the purple cloths on the cross on the outside of many churches have changed to white. It's so much happier now =] Ah, it makes me quite happy X]

The feeling of being proud.

It is a strange feeling, and to be honest, I have never been proud of my parents before. But for some reason, this year's spring break, I have felt it twice. One for my mom and my dad.
On Saturday, before I went to go sleepover, we went to Publix. We were going around and buying stuff because Truc My asked me to buy stuff for her and I had to return the movie. So as we were going to the cash register to buy our stuff, she started pointing at something. It was like a donation to the hunger, and she made me get the piece of paper and check it off. I don't know why, but that made me really proud of her. It just made me feel like, "Wow. That's MY mom.." Maybe it's because I never get along with my mom before..
And today! Last night, there was a huge thunderstorm that caused many people to sleep over. There was about 6 people over and my siblings that slept on the floor yesterday. When we woke up, my dad made us corn dogs and made us fried rice. Fried rice for 9 hungry kids. That for some reason, made me so proud of my dad also.
It's such a strange, different feeling.
Maybe..Just maybe..my parents aren't that bad after all.

Game vs St. Pius X

So today! I had no idea what to expect. St Pius was a really good school and is basically undefeated. Us, the two year noobie, came in and tried our best, but in the end...we lost. But we were so good o.o. We held on until the finish and that is what makes me happy ^__^
teehee. even though the score is bad...(18-6) I'm just happy that we scored some goals against this school.
hehe. Guess who scored half :D?
So. back then. someone had been talking bout the person who played varsity for St. Pius which I do have to admit, I was kind of jealous. So I gave my all and be like "win the girl"! hehe. like some..damsel in distress or so. It was quite fun~ :D
ah~ ^__^
Got to bring our game up even more! Push our limits even more! Push EVERYTHING even more! We will win more games. >:O!
..The life of a captain.

One week without prayer makes one weak!

Japan! Oh my gosh, Japan..8.9 Magnitude earthquake. 19-20 aftershocks each of 6 magnitude. Earthquake causes tsunamis, so then a tsunami came. Tsunami washed away many many cars, boats, houses, EVERYTHING like it's nothing. It just pick it up and toss it around. After a tsunami, there was a nuclear power plant explosion. Oh jeez. God, please help.
And there are people in the USA that actually say, "forget Japan, remember Pearl Harbor". What the heck. Do you know that the people we killed with the Atom bomb melted people's skins off, gave people leukemia, and killed more people than all the people that died at Pearl Harbor? And most people in the USA wasn't even born back then.
It is a sad, sad world. It makes me disappointed in myself as a human being. Lord, please show me that in this world, there are good people. Please show the ignorant the truth. Ignorance is a bliss unless they are uneducated. >:\

Alter serving!

So for two Sundays awhile ago, Miss Dao had recruited me to become an alter server. I agreed since they needed help. Alter servers are like those people that help out the priest and stuff. They look really graceful while doing it too. I did it twice when she got a call from the alter server head person saying I can't do it anymore and he was the one who first recruited me. I can't do it anymore because..I'm not Catholic.
*sigh* I wanted to do it for God, and the funny thing is I can't do it because I'm not Catholic.
But it makes sense, I guess. Religion is a really serious thing. I understand. Oh well~ X]

:d

Ah, the perfect rainy Saturday. Where you want to sleep in until you can't anymore. =]
But the sucky part is the you can't sleep anymore. So then you wake up, eat a lot, feel tired, and sleep again.
After that, you get on the computer, then get bored and get off. Then get back again because you are bored until you are hungry again. When you are hungry again, you leave the computer and eat, then come back and decided to do homework. You decided you don't want to do homework, and then chooses chores over homework. After doing chores because you really don't want to do homework, you decides to take out an agenda to make yourself feel more productive. While taking out your agenda, you tell your friend to get on AIM. The friend distracts you for a couple more hours and you decide to take out the papers to finally start on your homework. After many hours, you finally finish your homework, so you went to go shower and go out to eat dinner. "Mhmm, dinner...First time I went to a Vietnamese restaurant and chose something besides com tam", you said. Then you with the friend to Walmart and play video games there. Then the friend drove you home and now you realize you are bored and starts writing in second person and failing, you think.

I love Saturdays =]

Got to get back in the game!

AH! 4-5 and Brookwood won >:O!
It was a very intense match, the first half they had 4..we had 1. but we brought it up to 4! WOOOO! But the thing is, we could've won. Everyone felt it, there was a definite chance, but fate made it so that we'll get our revenge. We'll win. There is a possibility that we'll face them again on Saturday, and I can feel it. This time...We'll win.
I feel slightly cocky. But I need to motivate myself somehow *shrugs*
Today I could not shoot..For some reason, the ball refused to go inside the net. It was so frustrating >:\
In the end, Amy made it, so it's all good.
I have to be myself again. I have to play for fun and for the game. I will come back.
Just wait, Juliet Tang is going to be back.

Stress, depressed, and sick.

Because of the field trip to the human's body exhibit, I am behind in my classes. I have math "pop" quiz, a french test and quiz, and to make up my gov test. I am sick and exhausted. Boys are not helping. Since when do they want so much!? Jeez. I just want some space..
So during the body's exhibit, apparently I was not "okay". I was entirely okay, it's just awkward now btn me and him. We haven't talked to each other a lot lately or seen each other a lot.
After that day, he sends me a note saying I was "lifeless" during the field trip and I was myself during Valentine's party. eh.
Then on Monday, my friend who doesn't have word document woke up late so she couldn't come over to use my laptop for her project. So instead of going to school on time, I stayed behind and helped her out. Apparently during school, he started going around and told people that she and I skipped school. It's like he doesn't even know me anymore.
To apologize, he wrote me a note and then gave me another note. The first note was for him to apologize and the second was a love letter. Who does he think I am?
I don't know if I should be mad, but in the end I am still mad.
I hate this. Stupid boys. I hate boys.
Then I was stupid also. You know those hard wood floors? You know how you ran and slide with your socks. The wall ran into my toe, so now I can barely run. It's annoying. Why do I keep getting injured? My first game is next week and I already injured myself.
But on the bright side...Guess who's one of the captains for the ladies' lacrosse team =D?

The life of an almost athelete.

So today was good...I guess. Started out the day..but it was unusual. I didn't receive what I usually receive, and I was frustrated in a way. But the other person seemed to be okay...So..I guess there was tension from just one side then. oh well..After practice Miss Dao made us ran a bit more and did some ladders. I was definitely tired, but I do have to admit, I love two a days. :D

So yesterday, Amy said she heard from someone that lacrosse are for the extras which basically means that whoever don't do a sport, do lacrosse. Even though that's kind of true, it isn't. There are so many amazing athletes that do lacrosse. It's just really cool. I learned a lot of things from this sport, actually. I learn that no matter what race, what clique you're in, or how old you are, whatever. Sports brought us together, as teammates and as friends.
I also got the exercise I need and actually lost 26 pounds from it. (I'ma check my weight later...) and I met and became friends with amazing people. I can definitely say lacrosse changed my life, and of course other people did too. It's just kind of cool...well!
Try outs next week =D! But I don't think I need to worry =]
I want to go buy some clothes!!! for running and cold weather! ^__^

Maybe, it's not so bad after all.

So yesterday, Truc My hit Jimie on the head. I think that's some major improvement from before. Surprisingly, hitting/smacking/punching/kicking from Truc My is always a good thing. And now they seem to talk more like they used to and calling each other brother and sister again. It makes me quite happy, haha.. :D
Thank you, Lord.

Caught in between.

I am honestly the luckiest girl in the world to have so many people care about me, especially my best friends. They always make sure if I'm alright, healthy, and happy. It's just the best feeling ever when I know they're always by my side.
But recently, something has happened, and I have no idea what's going on. Tension was created from two of them, and I don't have a clue on what to do. One can't stand the other, and the other has no idea that there is tension. She cried because the other person was being a jerk. But she won't tell me what's going on and why the other person is annoying her because she thinks she is childish.
The one that is childish has so many responsibilities. She has so many school responsibilities and home responsibilities. She has to take care of her siblings and is basically the second mom in the house. She amazes me of how much stuff she has to do, so she basically acts like an adult. She acts like an adult so much that I wonder if one day, she will let her be childish. Just once, because after all, she is still a child.
The other one had no idea what's going on, and for some reason I am kind of mad at him. He hurts her, but doesn't even know it, and I just can't help it.
Does he act that way without knowing it because I've been hanging out with her so much more lately? Could it possibly be the fact that he's doing it unconsciously because of that? Right now, I have no solutions. I don't even think I can do anything about it. So right now, I'm just caught in between, and I definitely do not want to choose sides.

Dandruff falling from the sky.

SNOW! :D
With a little bit ice on top! Hanged out with everyone else that I haven't hanged out in months..it felt weird. It was nice and all, but it felt..empty. :\
But the sight of the white sheet of snow made it better. Otherwise, it would have been a lonely day~
It's like...there's everyone there and you're surrounded by people, but you still feel empty. It doesn't make sense, and how does that even happen? Oh well. No school tomorrow either. I guess it's relaxation time :d
