AP STUDY TIME!

You see love at first is summer time
That's when you think that every thing's fine
No one ever thinks its gonna end
- Shayne Ward's song "Melt the Snow"

That song is so good. I've been playing it on repeat ever since I've been studying (:

Anyways so excuse my lack of updates for the next 2 weeks please as I will be busy studying my ass off. Or I'll stick a post in or two as a "study break" And now in addition to my test taking, there is another factor of the AP tests that really makes me nervous. :/ In fact, I don't know why I even am nervous for this. But :/ I guess the situation still makes me pretty anxious and jittery. *sigh*
SO MANY BOOKS HUH!? Let's play a game.. GUESS HOW MUCH THAT ALL COSTS -__- Read more

Shaved Ice (YUM!)

“You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see,
but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.”

So today I basically did NOTHING at school. YET AGAIN. AP week starts on monday :(
lets see the schedule in advance:
05/03/10: AP Poli Sci in the Morning
05/05/10: AP Calc AB in the Morning
05/10/10: HELL DAY. AP Music Theory in the Morning, then AP Physics in the afternoon. (I'm guessing I don't get to eat lunch...)

What AP am I most worried? I'd have to say Music Theory for reasons I cannot sing -___-. And perhaps physics for reasons that I suck at it. And for both of them to be on the same day causes me so much stress...

To much furtherado.. However today I did do something fun! I went to the GUPPY HOUSE with two of my friends (:! Had some shaved ice *drool* condensed milk is the best ever!
Here are the pictures!
YUM shaved ice as it came out!

:( not pretty anymore. NOMNOM time!

all gone :( hehe how did 3 girls manage to eat ALL of that? (we didn't! there was too much fruit so we had to take it in a cup!)

MM look at the yummy 85 cakes :o


So now I'm going to do something different. I'm going to do some type of random survey thing (: But I think I'll at least learn a little from it? LET'S GO! WOOOPAH!

Letters to ____

The Question: What have you been wanting to say to a person/people but haven’t found the time/will-power/ability to say yet?

The Idea: A reverse-anonymous question activity, but with a purpose; these letters can be anything, they might be rants of anger, pleas for apology, a simple “how are you” to a rarely seen friend but for some reason haven’t gotten to yet.

The Rules/Purpose: After writing, you may NOT let these writings simply gather dust. You took the time to write them, so think about it. Are some meant to be said? Are some meant to be thought over to consider yourself? A letter unread or at least thought over is just a waste of time.

The Hope: to help repairing/building/any-ing social connection just a little bit easier. Start Writing. Maybe there’s a letter somewhere out there meant for you.

Dear ______,

I would first like to start off by saying how much I admire you. You are my idol. I want to be like you, sometimes too much like you that I forget who I am. As a matter of fact, everybody loves you. But do you know how much anguish that you've caused me? I have to live up to high expectations that not only my parents put on me, but also I put on myself. I am my own worst critic and I beat myself over the worst of things. We all have flaws, we all fight for what we want. It is time that I fight for what I want and not how to beat you at the game of life. Okay fine, you win in this lifetime But just wait until the next one I will come back with so much more fire. And now all I want to be is happy. I know you don't try to be amazing, but can you tone it down a little so comparisons can stop being made. And when we are together it doesn't feel degrading. You have a great, innocent heart and no matter how many times you've shown to be humble, it is still a proven fact that you are so much more amazing that I am. And now it shames me to say now that I enjoy the fact that we can part ways now. I'm sorry.

Welcome Back Linda!

“I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.” – Roy Croft

Hello. Long time no see huh? Let's see..
I wonder if I go through a whole month in a nutshell.

Spring Break:
It was pretty awesome I guess. I went to the beach with two of my close, best friends (:
ate some yummy food.

then the next day we had a fail disney movie marathon! Only because we watched TWO out of the SIX disney movies that I had planned. (Lion King and The Hunchback of Notre Dame) Then we ended up watching She's the Man and a korean drama named Hearty Paws (so sad so sad). SOME OF MY FRIENDS CAME LATE *sigh* ahah oh funness. The Good memories.


CONVENTION:
Well I would have to say that last year's convention was better, however this one did have its perks. (: I got freaking sunburned/tanned from staying out too much doing nothing. It is quite sad that these are the last few moments I am going to have with these people. And I must say, I will have a special place for them in my heart. As usual, we played games, sardines, mafia, assassin, zip bong, and they even had a games room! I made a compilation of clips from the whole day if I ever feel nostalgia. (IT'S ON FACEBOOK!)
And as usual, this is apparently the food blog of mine. AND so, with that being said this is what i ate:

And today? Well today I didn't do anything really. I SHOULD be studying for APS. Butttt... BLEHH. I'm going to watch Glee later regardless. AHAHA. (: I SHOULD have gone somewhere to eat today..buttttt things sometimes fail.
I don't feel like being philosophical today. So I won't. Time to go back on the blogging trainwagon Linda! These are memories to be remembered. Read more

a little bit of sickness

Sick of being Tired, Tired of being Sick

The past week I ate went down with something funky. Sickness? Possibly. Stomach Flu? Maybe. Whatever it was I felt like gross inside.

Song of the moment:
I Believe In You - Tyler Hilton
Great song, and I guess inspirational in a sense.

After much deliberation throughout the week, I still could not fathom the idea of why I am currently so confused in heart, mind, and soul. It is probably because it's MARCH. The moment of truth comes out this month, and I guess I'm questioning my future. And I'm guessing my heart is distracting me from this harsh reality of growing up.

ON A BRIGHTER NOTE... Here is what I did not post last week due to my laziness/sickness:

A Week In Linda's Point of View:
Everyday I come to school at 7:00 AM. And this is my POV in the mornings. (yes it is bright I know)

I did some supercreeping. I saw this really cute asian boy with mismatch clothes. AHHA lime green helmet, blue pants, red shirt.

On Wednesday, I went out to support Make-A-Wish foundation by eating at VEGGIE GRILL. With Anna, Clarissa, Kumi, and Derek.

This is what I had, VEGGIE chicken nuggets and sweet potato fries *drool* and PUDDING. ANDD. Strawberry Ice Lemonade! YUMM! Too bad couldn't fully enjoy it. AKA sickness.


Then on Friday, I went to take Sticki Picki with my two oldest friends! (no not like 30 year-olds, as in LONG TIME BESTIES!)

Picture of one of the machines:

Pretty random, but when I went to Diamond Jamboree one time.. There was this Hobo sleeping next to our car. VERY SKETCHY.



Then Saturday I went to get MORE lollicup, take MORE sticki picki, and watched What A Girl Wants with the coolest people. (Ara, Kumi, Tiffany, and Paul) AND eat more 85 bread:

This is my bread that I never got to eat because Ara accidentally took mine: (mm honey cake)

And this is hers that I ate instead: But it was really good!




AND FINALLY
What did i do today? I donated blood. Therefore I saved 3 lives. WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY? Yeah donating didn't take as long as I thought it would. And I barely noticed. I was playing games and listening to music the whole time! Last time took me like 3 hours to donate blood. -__-
BATTLE SCARS!



AND now I'm done ranting for the day/week/whatever. And back to OMGPOP! And oh my. I am finished with my homework before 12 for once (: Maybe now I'll start Math and Latin....nahhh I'll just stick with OMGPOP! LATERS. Read more

food all day long

I think the story of my life pretty much sums up with FOOD ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT.
Like seriously. All my posts have food in them so far, but I can't help it :( I'm a hungry hungry viet girl with FOOD NEEDS!

So in the morning I went to this viet restruant called Binh Minh, which is in Garden Grove . I had to meet up with some uncles since we haven't seen them in quite a while.

For some reason, family no longer phases me. Well maybe THIS is just a phase. A really long one. I feel like I'm always being compared by some random family member. Which leads me to, I want to spend less and less time with them. My little cousins can sense my growing distance towards them even as they are growing up. They know how much I have loved them, and now wonder why "I am so boring." In truth, I guess I've always been this way. Lonely. Just lonely.

On a brighter note, MORE FOOD. So I had some Bun Vit Sao Mang, and Bun Cha HaNoi at the restraunt! (: nomnom.



Then, we went shopping at South Coast Plaza for some shopping. I did some stalking while I was waiting for my mom. Yeah BORED OKAY? An aerial view:

(: ME? WHO ME? I only did 20 dollars in damage! EHEHE YAY for deals. I got a grey cardigan from express for 6 dollars (originally 30 dollars!) and my fail camera phone gives it no justice of how cool it is it even has a hoodie!

Also from express, and also for 6 dollars, I got a really cool tank top! It has like a bunch of lace things in the middle which my camera does not show. Sadly:

Then I just got a plain, blue and white novcal-like-long-sleeve shirt for 7 dollars:

Lastly what I did today was go out to dinner to eat. At first I wanted to go eat sushi at some random Japanese place. But we never found it. So instead I suggested we eat at Koba Tofu House, which I have heard great things about. Man, eating there reminded me of BOF. Like re enacting my BOF life. Breaking the fish and eating all that kimchi (: They had pretty good Korean BBQ, and tofu soup. But oh my. Breaking the fish just reminded me of the time Gu Jun Pyo was at Jandi's house and her mom fed him the fish. Oh the random moments of life.
Blurry I know.

Deep thought for the day:
Why is it the world is so sad?

Are the happy people in life truly happy? Or are they deceiving the world, including themselves, and are trapped in an abyss of denial and sadness?

We may never know. Until then, I will wish them all the best of luck :/ And I may be included in this category at times, but I realize I am much more luckier than some, and it is time I learn to cherish that. Knowing me, I'm pretty stubborn.


And now, I am watching the Winter Olympics while playing OMGPOP. Lots of things to do tomorrow :( Loads of homework and no Monday off. WAHHH.
Up up and away!
