long time, no see
I really do love tumblr. it's SO easy and pretty organized.
gooooooooz night! It's 12:30 and I'm up for no apparent reason. I did not have any homework whatsoever. LAME.

tumblr's less frustrating.
i can upload photos a lot quicker.
aw fuck, i think i'll blog on both. hehe I can't bear to part with blogger.
---- decided that blogger will be my public diary. and tumblr will just be... tumblr. VISIT BOTH!
OMG WHAT AM I DOING. IT'S 9:45 AND I STILL NEED TO DO PHYSICS. i hate the internado.
it was silent as a butterfly
School's slowly picking up. I'm feeling the cram, the pressure, the stress. Maybe it's because college applications are out? Or maybe it's because I wrote my first AP Lit essay today? I know I didn't do well.
You know I've always complained or nagged when someone has "changed". But honestly, who hasn't changed? We act like we've remained the same from day 1, but we're just fooling ourselves. Says the infamous and cliche 6th grade GATE theme: Change is inevitable. People drift apart, people grow closer. People. Change. I've grown accustomed to it. Sure, people change in good ways and in bad ways, but I'm starting a new thing in my life. I shouldn't snub people who changed negatively 'cause sooner or later, I'll probably do the same. It's life. I should stay around, if I care.. I'm sorry. We're not all perfect. I. Too. Have. Changed.
I'm pathetically horrible at keeping in touch with people. If I don't talk to you in a few days, I probably won't for weeks.. I'll probably say hi, make small talk, or whatnot, but sadly I don't make the effort. I'm ashamed of myself, I feel bad. I'm trying to fix it. Give me time!!
-We're so consumed with our own busy lives. I'm sad that we hardly talk or see each other now. Can't wait till Thanksgiving.

one saturday afternoon
Finally, this week is over. I've never been so exhausted and tired. Welcome Back assembly was alrights. GO 2010!!!! SEN10RS!!!!!!!!!! I think going balls to the wall when Azcona introduced the seniors was the highlight of the assembly. Sure hope people liked the costumes. Kade did! I was so happy when he told me.
Dance. oh, the dance.. I had fun, I was bored, I was sick, I was annoyed, I was disgusted, I was estatic. I was TIRED. FC boys were such whores. I loved it. So happy Kristine was there. I've missed seeing her. I love Kevin Dao :') HE'S SUCH A SWEETHEART.
I wouldn't say that I was sad* (sorry, not 'happy') to see you, but I would say that I was sad and ashamed to say that I caught myself being fake and/or acting like you didn't exist when you were 2 feet away from me. I just didn't know what to say or do. But if we're "better off as friends" I should act like you're a friend and not an enemy. I'm sorry, but I have to admit, being friends, or TRYING to be friends with you is really hard. I feel like all I could do is say "hi"... and that's it. I mean, it's not the same.
"AW HELL NO. AW HELL NO" hehe. I love Nina and Jerrri.
"Is it just me or are LQ people sluttier than other schools?"
"We're slutty. We dance slutty, we dress slutty."
HAHAHAHHA..... actually, I'm embarrassed..

chatter
So my mom's friend "hired" me to do her family portraits. I'm getting paid. Weird, right? I sincerely thank my mom for being the best "MOMAGER" ever!!! Thanks for bragging about me, even though I'm really not that great... hehe. Can't wait to use my uncle's SLR camera. and I really hope to do well. Cross your fingers for me. Pointers/tips/advice, please. If I do well, my mom promised me my own SLR camera for my 18th. She was so quick to say yes, too. I shall not let her down!!! NEVER. Photography is the one hobby I did not let go of such as piano, violin, or karate. Honestly, I don't even deserve this opprotunity. I'm pure amateur. I'm nervous, I don't know much. But, I'll try to learn in a short amount of time.
Three... no four people asked me today. Bad timing, no?

"it's hard to move on without looking back"
When things start too quickly, they end pretty quickly. That's life!
It's nothing, really. I'm such an over thinker.... Embarrassing.
Lesson learned, that's for sure.
Heh, I'm happy though. I am.

faded glory
i'm kind of sad about this school year. i haven't been keeping in touch with a lot of people and I mean LQ people.. i'm so bad! I miss J.Troung, especially.. I only talk to people who are super close to me, or in ASB. I'm a horrible friend. I'm sorry.
i really miss talking to you. but don't worry about me.

?
and since when did i ever need reassurance? i was never like this. i was always the "fuck it"-Miss Independent-Kelly Clarkson status. where did this come from? i'm kind of embarrassed.

why can't i leave my scabs alone
i need to stop. before i go crazy. i worry about everything, really. esp my family. i guess i worry too much, to the point where it consumes me. i've... been tense lately.
Something's Gotta Give. I love Jack Nicholson.

i can't think of titles anymore
I love my classes. I LOVE THEM!!!
1. photo2
2. leadership
3. ap lit
4. physics
5. civics
they're so fun! AP Lit intimidates me, though. But I have a feeling that I'm going to learn so much in that class. I'm not aiming for an A, a B is fine, but I think the experience is worth it. ASB is always entertaining. Physics is fun. Civics is too. I always get those 2 mixed up. Physics.. Civics.. gah! they just don't roll off my tongue very well.
I'm still getting used to being a senior. it feels weird. I don't feel old enough, I guess.
Tony came to visit me yesterday during 6th!!! I was so happy :')
thanks to Kristine for getting me the AA figure skater dresss!!! OMG. im so excited.
last first football game.. was boring. *yawn* it was fun during the first half, crazy really! I love Kade, so funny. :') but, then it winded out.. gah.
RIP Kevin Telles. :l I don't know him, nor did I witness it, but I'm still choked up. Life is too uncertain. My thoughts go out to his family, his friends, and GGHS.

you got me
last night of summer 09. senior year, the year I've been waiting for my entire life. Honestly, I never thought I would actually reach this year. it seemed too far, too impossible. but, damn, it's tomorrow. I'm excited, I am. nervous? sure. all in all, I've gotta good feeling about this year. :)
mmm summer of 09. I wouldn't say it's my favorite summer, or even one of the best summers of my life. But, I think it gave me a lot of opprotunities to learn, to learn about everything and everyone to a certain extent. I learned to prioritize the things in my life: family, church, friends, school, future etc. I wish that ASB didn't take up most of my summer, but then again I wouldn't have been able to cherish the moments I had with my family or friends outside of ASB. I learned to not be so self-centered around the ones I love most because they're only "gifts" to me, I don't deserve them and on top of that, I take them for granted.
I'm sad, like TERRIBLY sad that Steph and I didn't get to see each other AT ALL this summer. well, rarely. this better not be the end of our 5 million sleepovers, shopping trips, and poolside tannings. I miss ya, girl. :( can't wait till college, when we'll see each other every day. back2school shopping wasn't the same without her. DEPRESSING, actually. 'cause who goes shopping without her bfffffffffffffffff?
Tuesday, September 8, 2009
i want some. right. now.
mocha, yum. mint avalanche, yum. red velvet, yum. cream cheese, yum.
ah ma'fuck. it's almost 2. i'm watching comedians of chelsea lately. i'm going to regret it tomorrow morning. i hate waking up early just to go to my aunt's. FML.

elastic smiles
-i've been spending so much time with Amy lately. "you're normal now!" hehe, shut up.
-distance and conlicting schedules.. it's hard for us. :( imy!!!
-i subconsciously said "Hi Sparky!" when I went upstairs today... RIP. I miss him. such a faithful and smart dog. I miss having him sleep in my room and I regret kicking him out 'cause I was tired of opening the door for him. I miss him during dinner 'cause he's always at the foot of our chairs, sitting on his butt, begging for food. I kind of knew he was going to go, but still, it kind of hits you.

Ames
spent half the day with Ames, too bad she had tennis :( we didn't do much. TV, makeup.. ;), and pool. lotsa (much needed) girl talk. I swears, she's my go-to girl. so thankful for that. just caught up on a lot of things, even though we honestly didn't need "catching up" to do.. girls could talk about everything. excited for Friday! she's gonna come over to my area to go shopping. excited for next year. hopefully Canada, Vegas, and camping. I sincerely miss Stephanie Tu and I'm sad that she has so much on her plate. Ames and I are your biggest supporters so go out there and win AZTEC OF THE YEAR. beat out a lil someone, yeeee thatz wasssup.
I love PixelPipe cause I could blog through my phone....
Yesterday was the first day I realized how much I like you... just sayin'!
hello September.

-finish summer assignments
-finish ASB counter
-finish ASB calendar
so many kids are coming back next year. I'm excited! but it doesn't feel right without KQ. I'm so glad we fixed things, it's such a huge sigh of relief. I've missed her. (idk I might of blogged about her already)
I'm desperately trying to stay awake until T finishes his hw. what a lagger :) hehehehe I'll make him do the same on September 9th.
tomorrow: with Amesss! finallly, right? time to squeeeze in one last tan before school.
Thurs: freshmen registration. I hope they'll cooperate with me.

state of flux
so, i'll say this:
i'm just really fucking confused right now.
what do i do..
amy says to not think about it.
i should be cautious.
i suppose i complicate things. i overthink.
black keys
i've been advised to not worry and that finding him will only cause drama. perhaps it will. at this rate, i don't know i i'll ever see him. i know i'm 17, but when will i ever have time to find him.
ahah funny. amanda bynes' character in the movie is 17. coincidence? is this a calling? hehe.
kind of creepy of me, but i people search'ed him about a year ago. i found possible matches. should i just arrive at his doorstep with my parents' wedding picture? i mean, i could make it all hollywood.
what if he moved to cambodia? what if he's dead? what if he's filthy rich?
will i ever know?
Stop
why must my history have to keep repeating itself? or.. why do i let it repeat itself?
WHY!
i'm just in a state on confusion right about now. right before school, too!
i love amy le. she's so smart. i complain about one thing, she instantly gives me a different point of view on it.

tousle me softly
I feel bummy. I feel rushed, pressured even. Fuck the teenage years, I'm over it. Senior registration papers came in. Yikes, this is it, the year I've been waiting for my whole life and the year I've been dreading. Senior year.. the last year of teenage youth. don't get me wrong, I'm so looking foward to the college life, or as I like to call it "adult-youth". Staying at UCSB made me excited to dorm on campus.
Well, all in all, I guess you could say I'm excited for senior year. I mean, who doesn't love a fresh new slate? I honestly feel a new, improved "Victoria" coming in.
XXXXX

Do do do your dirty words
I'm having fun don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet.
I won't let you in again,
The messages I've tried to send,
My information's just not going in.
Burning bridges shore to shore,
I'll break away from something more
I'm not to not to love until it's cheap.
Been there done that messed around
I'm having fun don't put me down,
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet.
This time baby I'll be bulletproof.
I won't let you turn around
And tell me now I'm much too proud
To walk away from something when it's dead.
Do do do your dirty words
Come out to play when you are heard
There's certain things that should be left unsaid.
Tick tick tick tick on the watch
And life's too short for me to stop
Oh baby, your time is running out.
I won't let you turn around
And tell me now I'm much too proud
All you do is fill me up with doubt.

So we're bound to linger on
I'm numb
I'm stupid
I'm staying
And if Cupid's got a gun, then he's shootin'
Lights black;
heads bang
You're my drug
We live it
You're drunk, you need it
Real love, I'll give it
So we're bound to linger on
We drink the fatal drop
Then love until we bleed
Then fall apart in parts

i refuse
this weekend was really sweet. my couzos + stephanie k slept over. my cousins would of stayed longer but esther was homesick so she started crying. :') preciousnessss. her parents came at like 1 am to pick them up.
swimming, shopping, picked out clothes for hannah, gave hannah a mani/pedi, marley and me, confessions of a shopaholic, cousins left, tv marathon, marshall's, stater's, mexican market, fajitas. steph + me = lazy bums. this summer we've been so bummy. it's ridiculous. we don't even take pictures anymore like we used to. sa'llll righttt.
back2school soon. currently composing a list of what i need to buy. frankly, i really don't need anything really. asb should cover my wardrobe...
Wednesday, July 22, 2009
avery pkwy
today:
ani's house for costumes
bible study
....that's it.
lame? I know.
we argued again. you just don't realize that the things you do give off a "cold" vibe and it hurts other people around you. no matter what I say, you still refuse to admit it. whatever.

"she had a world of chances"

yumm
I really want to date a black guy. not too ghettto, not completely white washed but perfect and completely in the middle : ) I feel that they have the perfect amount of manliness in them, hehehehhehe
Saturday, July 11, 2009
feeels good, don't it
hearbreaks at 17
I think we care to much about dating at this age. we're young and no where near settling down. from my cynical point of view about love; what's really the point of getting into a relationship at this age?
I'll contradict myself when I start dating again. I know I will.
kook
I want to go to a rave, but I opt for sobriety, cut offs, and leather verses lingerie, tutus, Rainbow Brite look-alikes, and pacifiers.
i'm a h8r
you know what? whatever happens, happens. c'est la vie.
and now i'm going to go eat some captain crunch with vanilla ice cream. yum

why, what a hobby
I think I enjoy making my life harder than it should be. I'm incredibly complicated and sometimes I like it like that. It's entertaining, it is. but at times I get tired of it. it gets exhausting. I mean I don't have to get upset over every little thing that goes wrong, do I? lately I've realized that I've become such a drama queen. its embarrassing, really. I throw more hissy fits than people would ever know. how childish of me! I blame it on the "only-child-syndrome". its a bad excuse, I know. its hard for me to adjust to change. if things don't go a certain way, I can't adapt. its something I've been trying to work on. I have to put more effort into this lost cause, though.
another thing I've noticed is that I put myself into situations where i fill up my plate to the point where I can't finish what I started. you know the saying "you bit off more than you can chew" I've made promises I regret but I can't let people down. I just wish I never guaranteed them anything. I mean, I'll pull it off someway, but it won't be as good as I promised them to be.
another thing; I complicate my life with unworthy people. I'm too nice to them. I guess you could say that I cpuld be a people pleaser, its my weakness. so bad, so bad. my mom warned me about it, but I didn't agree with her. now I realize that mommy knows best.
never got to say this
but I'm super happy and excited that I'm rooming with Steph @ asb camp! hehe everyone's jealous, I know. she's totally not a "random" roommate, is she?
Today

"i'm 'yeah' with *blank* now"
I haven't blogged in forever! it used to be a "twice-a-week" kind of thing, but now there's not much worth blogging about.
what's been going on this summer? well nothing really, except ASB and simple, plain hanging out. I thought I would regain energy and strength this summer, but NOPE! I'm absolutely dead tired.
at certain points during the day I feel as if I'm fading away. I've become jaded and nothing is special to me anymore. I have this "idgaf" attitude and I hate it! my goal this summer is to cut it.
anywhooooo,
susie just made a calendar of upcoming events with family&church. busy, busy! movie night tomorrow, yay! hoooray for precious G-rated flicks! senior pictures- july 8th! gah! they have to turn out PERFECT just for once, its my last chance. I told my aunt about it and she gave me a lecture on how to smile cause according to my family, my smile is too big. how come asians don't smile with their teeth?! they always half ass their smiles! anyways, she said "smile with your eyes. models don't smile with teeth" sounds very Tyra...
