To search for one's true love,
you must first find your true self.
Don't just love yourself, though.
Love the people around you who truly care for you.
为了寻找自己的真爱，
你必须先找到你真正的自我。
不只是爱自己，虽然。
爱你周围的人谁真正关心你。
My Prince, please find me... 我的王子，请找我...
My name is Xiao Yu Di. I love Pochacco, Mangas, Reading, Cup O Noodle, Ramen, Muffins, Performing, Internet, Writing, Sleep, and one
particular guy.
我的名字是小雨滴。 我爱PC狗，曼加斯，读，杯Ø面，拉面，松饼，表演，上网，写作，睡眠，和一个特别的人。
Someone who likes to sing, shine, and at times shy;
Someone who's not afraid to show a lot of emotion;
Someone who's a few years older than me.
I'd date someone who isn't that tall,
but isn't that short (for me) either;
Someone who is average,
Someone who loves to write lyrics, watching movies, and learn Chinese
(I'm not Chinese either, but I'm learning).
Last off, I'll love a guy who has nice skinship,
who's not afraid to be a little bit bad sometimes, ;-)
and who's willing to spend time with an average girl...

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!
During 2010 of February, I signed up for a extra credit activity from my French 2 teacher. Who would've thought she meant the Salsa Club performing for spirit week. It was on a Hat Day. Yes, a Hat Day. Everyone thought my legs looked sexy with the black tights, but those tights were too small for me. While we were dancing on the quad stage, I felt my tights going down quickly, but you can't tell from the dress I'm wearing. We did all right, but I wasn't satisfied with my own part of the performance. At least I got the full 100 extra credit points for my grade. I ended up with an A in that class. :-) Every single day the question's been aired into my head:
Korean Pop versus Mandarin Chinese Pop?
I think both are all right, because Korean Pop gives you these dance moves that are cool to incorporate into your own creativity when it comes to dancing.
Mandarin Chinese Pop gives you this happy feeling like you can sing along and feel like a star.
If I would ever have to perform as a permanent national singer, I wouldn't.
Because I feel conversing into different cultures internationally is a good thing to broaden your horizons and point of view.
Even though it's just music, I'm seriously going to give this a tie.
I've heard that George Lopez has another show.
Man, that guy can be pretty funny.
He has a talkshow called Lopez Tonight during weeknights.
Please support this funny man. Hahaha.
When February passes by, it feels as if there wasn't a month to begin with.
A month of romance just passes by as if it didn't exist.
Well, not for me.
I'm still single, but not desperate, and that's how I still stay standing, never having my lips touch another person's...
Oh! I forgot!
I'm taking 2 exams this June!
Yup, yup, I have to take the SAT exam at NL High School and the next week ACT at another LA High School.
I was planning on taking the SATs, but my mother decided I should just take the exams when I'm ready.
It'll be very soon until the time for taking tests ends and I'll have to fill in my college applications.
Man, it's hard to be a junior in high school!
There's $89 I'll never receive to take exams.
I still need to buy a few essential school supplies from morning glory.
Man, I love that store. :)
Haven't been going there lately. :(
Ahh~~ I still remember when the guy with a moustache, who looked sort of like a thug (which some people I guess barely talk to but he's fun to be around), started going about, telling people's fortune on school campus with fortune telling cards.
I observed how the dude told each person's fortune.
(I couldn't remember his name at the moment, so I'll just call him Ah Ben for now.
He actually moved a couple of months ago. :[ )
For the last 5 minutes of lunch, I asked Ah Ben to tell my fortune.
The way he told everyone their fortune seemed really realistic.
Right before the bell rang (1 minute), Ah Ben told me that my future was about love.
He advised me to not jump into a relationship so quick, because at the moment it's not the best idea to even start one.
Following his advice, I thought about who I would have a crush on at the moment.
Because whoever my crush was at the moment was the person I'd have to stay friends for a while.
And I started to think of... a friend.
...man, how long until I actually get to find a prince to call my own?...
Anyways, yesterday was my school's 1st drumline show.
We've got 2nd place, but that was okay, seeing how most of the drumline are new players.
1st place was L.A. High, which coincidentally L.A. High hosted & always hosted the drumline competitions.
(L.A. High is another name for the real school's name, so it's not Los Angeles High, alright?)
But after we performed, we undressed our uniforms, and watched L.A. High's drumline.
They were actually pretty good.
LoL Half our drumline sat on the farther side of the gym seats from where we were at.
Did I mention yesterday was also Rahmel's birthday?
Well, it was also my sister's friend's birthday, but I knew Rahmel more than her, so... my bad.
Just now I finished watching Legally Blondes on Disney Channel. :)
Nice movie. :D
As I lay quietly on my recent updated bed, I've remembered January the 7th, when Ozzy finally joined the drumline.
He's now on the mallet line section, playing the chimes and the glockenspiel (a.k.a. bells).
I not only play the xylophone, I'm Section Leader of the Mallet part of the Drumline.
I'm still hoping for that one prince to pop into my life someday,but I've really been busy lately.:(
