I'm like a freakin` vampire.
Lately I've been sleeping around this time and waking up in the middle of day.
Everybody Hates Chris is on right now.
A rerun episode.
Hehe~
I'm spazzin` over SHINee's new album right now!
Yeah, I know, last month they released the CD and about 2 weeks ago I got it, but even now I still squeal over their performances and such!
I'm addicted to SHINee fanfiction now. :P
And now I think I'm slowly getting to reading Fahrenheit fanfiction again. :)
I was supposed to be doing my summer projects.
Yes, there's 2 of them.
AP Literature and AP Government and Economics.
Uggggghhh.
I'm on my sister's stupid little laptop while she uses my normal "huge" one for her MV version with Tasha and a girl named Melissa of Super Junior's No Other MV.
Take a look at it if you're reading this.
Also, The Cab's Vegas Skies.
You should listen to it.
:) It's pretty cool.
Found myself listening to it while I was reading a fanfic story. :P
I should probably finish my projects soon, huh?
Also, before school ended about a month and a half ago, our junior class was advised to send college applications and scholarship applications.
I don't know the first thing to do that sort of stuff at home, so I guess I'll wait until school starts again.
I know, a bit late, considering since applications end around December of this year for class of 2010 students.
But, I just don't feel prepared yet. :(
I'll only do things once I feel prepared.
I'm still sticking to music as my major, or basically taking more arts as subjects once I get to college in September next year.

Percussion Musician of the Year

Omo! Why was this given to me?
Usually Drum Captains get this award every year.
I admitted to my band teacher that I felt I didn't deserve it, but he said I did.
Plus, all the lower classmen thought I deserved it. o_O
This was just awarded to me last night.
I thought for sure it was going to be Raymond and Josh.
But, when the band teacher listed all these things I did as he made one of his "possible made from the impossible" speech, I was literally speechless.
As soon as he said from Honor Band, I thought it would be awarded to Josh and Ry.
As soon as he said "fixing parts of the music to make things easier", I immediately knew he was talking about me, but I had to make sure.
(He said all these things in our annual band banquet.)
As soon as he mentioned "she", I kept swaring.
"Oh, shit, shit shit shit SHIT!"
I was trying to hold back me tears. It worked.
Always does.
I immediately pointed out in my head that I remember the Honor Band this year.
The only girl percussionist was me.
The band teacher (I shall call him director) mentioned marimbas, xylophones, and mallet stuff.
I cried on the inside.
My sister, Connie, (yes, I used her as a character in my story, Guardian. Please read that later on.) looked as though she read my ming, and smiled so brightly at me.
So, she still looks up to me, huh.
Thought that period of admiring your older sister was over.
Right when the band director said my name, I heard hollering and loud screams from behind me and all around me.
I only formed a small smile on my face as I quickly made my pace to walk up to the stage.
I hugged the band director, and everyone went "Awww~!"
I quickly made a short bow as I walked off stage.
Dude, I was like freaking nervous!
There were a lot of people being awarded in this banquet.
Even our band director got a plaque and a special pin!
Thank Kevin and Elizabeth for this idea! :D
Plus, our #1 band mom just graduated at that award banquet, which means she'll be leaving us! :(
But, no worries, she'll still contact us if we need to see her or that we miss her. :)
When the band banquet was over, most people left because it was around 8:45 PM??
Whatever. I'm still on that shock process.
Almost everyone I was familiar with who stayed after the banquet was over hugged me in sweet embraces.
They kept congratulating me.
I felt so happy.
Josh said he admitted that he thought he deserved the award, but just as well, he felt proud I got the award.
As he said that, he kept kissing the top of my head as he hugged me tightly.
I felt so confused.
Was he... jealous?
I felt bad. Later on, I heard from Konini (yeah, sometimes I call her that!) that Josh and David were the only ones so far who didn't think I deserved the award.
I know how Josh felt, and I'm glad he admitted it, but I didn't know why David felt that way about me.
I got a bit upset.
I wish he was more open to me like Josh was.
I'm still shocked over the small plaque I got.
Percussion Musician of the Year 2009-2010.
I'm not revealing my real name yet, but I'll tell you that my name was printed on it. :D
This band year has been interesting for me.
I'm going to miss the seniors - they'll no longer be hanging out in the band room during class now! D:
I'm going to be a senior! *shock*
Just finished SATs in the early morning with Ry.
We went to Norwalk High School to take them.
Can't mention any stuff, though. Sorry. :(
Now I will be taking the ACT this Saturday morning at Los Alamitos High School.
Why there?
My father's taking me, and he'll be going to the horse racing track while I take my exams.
Silly fathers. :) Love my daddy!
I'm a daddy's little girl. hehe~

I have to think about my future now!
Argg~!
I'm actually sticking to music as my major.
I believe I can become a talented musician in the Asian entertainment industry.
Xiao Yu Dian, fighting! Jiayou!
My mother wanted me to be a doctor, but depending on how many people I know pursuing the medical career, I'd predict that in the future, there will be too many people not knowing anything else but medicine! Haha~!

I'm thinging about dying my hair burgundy.
People think I look similar to my sister to the point of thinking that that 4ft 9 inched sister of mine is me!
I'm a foot taller than her, at least!

2PM's New Video!!!!

Doesn't it seem that 2PM is showing more depression in their music and videos lately?
It's like they're expressing their full emotions of fighting this dark burden, as if there is something missing from their lives.
I'm betting full-on that it's Jay (Jaebom) Park from Art of Movement b-boy crew.
If not that many of you people know, Jay used to be the leader of 2PM.
Due to bad public image of one typical comment, he left Korea immediately, apologizing to everyone as he passed by the airport.
That public comment was on MySpace.
He stated a few years ago that he "hated Korea" or that "Korea sucks!" because he didn't understand much of the Korean language himself (although his origin is Korean).
But that was before he grew to learn the language and gradually felt proud to be a Korean.
Unfortunately, those anti-fans (fans who usually almost hate everything popular or a specific popular thing) of Jay's have been harrassing him (I've heard it as a rumor).
That harrassment led him to believe he may harm not only himself, but his 2PM bandmates.
So he left to Korea.
Korean fans just stood silent as Jay left on the airplane.
They were afraid that if they tried to speak out for Jay not to leave, his anti-fans would hurt them as well.
It's pretty sad how anti-fans would go this far to push someone off their limits.
It's alright if you don't like someone, just don't start changing the person's life unless that person may have harmed you in any way.
In that case, Jaebom Park did nothing to anybody.
That negative comment of his - any American with a mixed culture in them would make a comment like that.
Supposed a Filipino American who knows only English goes to the Philippines.
At first, the person may be uncomfortable because they don't know the Filipino language, and comments on Twitter that they hate the area that they're in.
That's understandable.
But what if lots of other pride Filipinos get angry with that comment?
Then the person who made that awful comment will apologize with grace like Jay.
Eventually, the bad mess will go down, sometimes slower if the person's a celebrity.
Anti-fans will go far in order to reach their goal - to eliminate the person they hate and fill them with sorrow.
Well, for all those anti-fans of Jay, guess what?
He's at content right now.
He may have been weak before (proof of weakness was when he left 2PM without much of a goodbye; he's the leader of the group 2PM), but now he'll slowly and gradually climb back to his feet and b-boy his way back to the top.
Pretty soon, Jay won't just be in Art of Movement, but he'll also be back in 2PM.
To all of Jaebom Park's fans, I am at your side.
I will morally support Jay, Art of Movement, and 2PM over here in America.
(By the way, the example I used earlier has nothing to do with me.
I never left America yet.)
You hear that, anti-fans?
All of Jay's fans and I won't back down.
You've just spreaded hatred all over the world.
And for that, we shall fight back no matter what.
Let's get 2PM to sing more positive upbeat songs again.
We shouldn't be afraid anymore.

4th Day of Spring Break/April

10 AM in the morning, and my little sister and I ended up not going to Drumline practice due to heavy rain and the waxed band room floor that Ulises looks like he's having fun in.

Just running around, back and forth like an idiot.

And next thing you know, it turns into sunshine quickly around noon to 1 PM.

Still at the process of translating my English blogs of this year into Mandarin Chinese.

But for now, I'm extremely busy.

For one, I need to eat because my mother says so.

If you're ever visiting our house, you MUST eat.

Feels like it's a rule or something here.

-------------------------------------------

Okay, now I've been done eating a long time ago.

Just got back from the mall.

Thought I would get to go to the library to drop books and pick up new ones, but I realize we only have time for that tomorrow.

When my family went out, they went to the bank after dropping off 2 of the kids that my mother tutors.

Afterwards, we all ended up eating out at the Goldilocks restaurant + store.

My father wanted to eat lomi, but it turns out they ran out of lomi! hahaha

He ended up eating mami. :-)

When we got to the mall afterwards, I could've sworn I saw Miko.

(Note: I'm starting to forget who's who from last year's blog posts, so I'll have to just use the 1st names of the people I interact with in my life.)

Now, I know a few guys named Miko.

But this is THE guy.

This is the Miko who's father had been friends with my father ever since they started working together.

This is the Miko who I've spent my childhood years with ever since I could remember practically anything at the time.

This is the Miko who I've counted how many girlfriends he had in the past.

This is the Miko who decided to lose contact with me after the 7th grade of February.

This is the same Miko who hasn't contacted me in 4 years, and who last year I decided not to call him Kuya anymore.

("Kuya" means "older brother" in Tagalog.)

As my mother, my sister, and I opened the glass mall door, I could've sworn I saw him coming right out past me.

He was a bit skinnier now, and he looked kind of just like me with the glasses he was now wearing.

It was typical of him to be with a pretty girl at the time.

This was today, and I even told my mother and my little sister what I thought I saw.

Immediately not looking back (and not caring), they told me it wasn't really him.

But I'm sticking to my gut and still definitely know that I saw him.

After all these years...

I really wished for him to be like an older brother to me again, but apparently life don't roll that way.

I'm typing really quick as fast as I can so that my mother could use the computer.

I spent about $39 at Anchor Blue and ended up with $38 in my wallet.

I wanted to save at least $6 for next week when I go back to school.

I figured I could give Roxane (Treasurer of the Anime Club) the money so she could collect all $30 together and turn it into the computer so that I can go to the Anime Expo.

So far, I don't think I'm there yet, but I won't give up on saving money! :-)

Plus, I need to save more money so that I can go shop good stuff downtown.

Like, around Chinatown.

Haven't been there since I was 10 years old.

I have a small red Chinese traditional blouse, and now I feel like I need to buy a new one.

I have a hunch that prices might be cheaper downtown anyway....

I'm planning to go Friday with my family.

Either that, or I can actually try to go with friends.

But then again, most people might probably say that they "have plans" and are "too busy" to go out on one night with me.

But, I mean, come on!

I barely go out with anyone!

And even my little sister acts like she's cooler than me simply because she goes out with people!

Just now my mother gave my little sister $8 from my wallet.

So now I have $30.

Starting tomorrow, I'll continue doing my homework.

I just wish I get to hang out with friends in the evening like other teens do.

It's just a matter of trust and closeness relationships with people.

I've been a good little girl for too long.

I NEED TO GO OUT!

"......................................................................................."

..................and now you see why I'm still wanting to look for my Prince.....................

I need him to rescue me from this nightmare of a boring, normal life.

I need him to at least go on dates with me and like me for who I am - looks, mind, and soul.

I need him to need me, because to him, ever since he met me, somehow he can't help but feel incomplete without me.

Please, if anyone's out there, please help me find my Prince.

Help me meet him.............

Getting To Know Me

Alrighty, then.
About myself
...
how shall I describe myself?

I HATE PINK!!!

I like to laugh a lot.
(Seriously, just ask my folks.)
Princess Jin Ai
{me}
would love to chat nowadays.
Before,
I was like Cinderella:
stayed at home and
waited for the grass to grow.
I've just become a sophomore recently.
Cool, huh?
So, now I get to
give advice to freshmens:
Freshman year ain't that bad at all.
Yep, that's the advice Princess Angel's given out lately.
Based from the URL of this blog,
I'm not looking for a friend on the internet.
I just like to express how I'm trying to
find my Prince Charming.
And still not from the internet.
At high school.
Yep.
And I've always been single,
and that doesn't make
you boys out there ready!!!
BLECH!!!

Well, as I was saying,
high school's been great.
No drama actually.
Technically though,
I'm working on getting
Advanced Drama as a 2nd period.
lol
Anyways,
the "Gong Zhu Tian Shi"
means "Princess Angel"
in Mandarin Chinese.
I'm still working on getting to
learn the language.
But, I really want to get credit for it.
Lately, no luck.
In the meantime, I have to get
French class.
I'm only part Chinese.
I'm mostly Filipino coming from
both my parents.
I've been kind of an outcast maybe.
I guess it's because I have Chinese eyes.
lol

I just really, really like this font. ;P
Oh, anyways,
The angel part I have to explain, huh?
Well,
I sometimes
imagine myself as
an angel.
White roses are my favorite flowers.
I also like baby blue or maroon.
(Don't you compare me to the U.S. flag.)
hehe

Uh-oh, gotta go!

Until then...

Guardian Angel
