My summer is officially starting (:. FINALLY.

REEEEEECAAAPPPP. o______o. The past few days have been...I would say pretty boring, except for probably Saturday. I'm stuck in the house all day since my dad won't stop being a fatass and take me out to where I want to go. I had so mnay things to do, at least until my dad told me that all I think about is fun. Why don't I ever think about the family and stuff? WTFFF, I do think about the family! T_T. Sheesh.

On Saturday, I went to scouts and did a few practice runs there. After that, we had to go to Andy's house to do some more practice, considering TT9 is currently less than 2 weeks away and we totally suck. =/.



His mom served us cookies, strawberries, noodlees, chips, what not. We went to Starbucks/Juice City afterward, since we were still waiting for Shannen and Sylvie to come.



I ordered myself a Strawberries and Creme Frapp, and I also paid for Victoria's Passion Tea Lemonade. We walked back to Andy's house and found that Shannen and Sylvie just arrived. We ate some more food and went out into the g arage to start our practice.



So many runs, and it was super hot too. I swear I was going to die of heat stroke. Thank god there was AC in the house. (:. Around 4, everyone started leaving and his mom took me and my brother to my house, where I discover that there's a party going on, since the parents were planning for our July 4 camping trip and Yellowstone camp trip.



Holy shit, I'm goin' everywhere this summer, (:. I'm definitely going to love this summer better than last year's.



Anyway, my old cousin and I talked and spent some time watching random things on his laptop and blackberry. By the end of the day, I was hella tired, sIo I ended up falling asleep on the living room couch and waking up the next morning in the same area.

Sunday! Ew, I hate Sundays. >_>. It means the weekend is over and things are going to be borng again until the next weekend. Oh well.



Anyway, I woke up and my parents called me to go get a haircut. Yay. I love having short hair, especially when I'm about to go somewhere for July 4 and the week after too. Easier to manage, heh. I was supposed to go to the mall with Caroline, Jessie, Jeff, Todd, Matthew, Eileen, Toni, Vinh, and some other people, but something came up last minute so I had to cancel. =/. Damn it, I was going to go all out shopping too and spend like...over $500. I am a very expensive boy.

Which brings me to today.



Today is when I start to review Calculus for my upcoming junior year. My dad said to do all the odd problems, so I did. I haven't finished yet, so I should probably get back to work. =/. 65 problems total for the first section. UGH.



I'm scared of the showers for TT9. I heard that it's hella small and dirty. EW, why the hell can't they clean the showers more often like a hotel? ):! Oh and its going to be hella crowded too, with fucking 2000+ asian people from all over the globe. I'ma freaking have to wake up at 5 in the morning to shower and do my hair and all that stuff. *Sigh*. Omg, I'm nervous for our performance already too. There's one point where I'm stuck in the front for about 1 or 2 minutes of dancing. EEK..but I do LOVE that adrenaline rushing through my body. Makes me feel pumped up, hyper, and ready to own those other troops. WOOT.

Lac Hong pride, baby.


LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL @ this picture of Mario and Princess Peach. I found it searching up my troop name. WTFFFFFF. AHAHA. = =. I is bored.

Anyway, more later. and.. I VERY VERY VERY HATE MATH D:!!!!

Video(:!

This is a video of our dance for TT9! The song is called "Em Di Xem Hoi Trang Ram," which means "I went to see the Moon Festival" in Vietnamese. Credits to Ben Nguyen for translating for me (=. Anyway, this is just a practice so some people are missing and we're using random artifacts for the hats from around my house. (=.

Dance Practice for TT9! LH, RK, and LV over all you other losers.

The last few days were pretty boring, except Friday and today.

On Friday, which was yesterday, we had dance practice for the huge TT9 camp of Vietnamese scouting at Victoria's house. We started off showing everyone the moves, and got to the middle part of the dance. I swear though, we looked like crap. ):. 3 of the guys weren't there and 1 girl wasn't there, so, the counting was a little off. Anyway, we continued practicing until about 2, when Victoria decided we shoudl have a break, since it was so hot, and order pizza. Around 3, I had to leave, since I was volunteering at the hospital that day. I always do this on Friday for about 2 hours. I called Andy and we drove him to his house and dropped him off. Afterwards, my dad drove me up to Lucile Packard Children's Hospital up in Stanford. I went down to the ground floor, bought some sushi and yogurt, and headed up to the second floor, where my office was located. There, I spent 2 hours, running around doing random errands for the nurses and doctors. After that, I went home and fell asleep after eating dinner, just waiting for tomorrow.

I woke up today in the morning and turned on the computer, since I needed to ask Victoria and Jessica about what to bring to scouts so that we can practice our dance. I ended up bringing my iPod speaker thing, iPod, wires, 2 asian conical hats, and a '11 sign from homecoming, which was a good replacement for a hat, since it was circular. LOL. Anyway, we conducted flag ceremony, troop meeting, and some marching before the girls asked us to come over. We practiced for a little bit and then it was time to end troop meeting, so we went back and did our usual ending. Toai asked me to drive him to my house, since he didn't have a ride, so I ended up giving him a ride to my house. We got home, I changed, moved all the plants, plugged my iPod player in, stuff my iPod onto the player, got plates and other artifacts that were circular, and waited. One by one, they all came to my house. We started off eating some asian sticky rice o_O....and strawberries. Afterwards, we started our practices. Around 4, our last practice ended up pretty well. We still have some minor corrections, and we still need to get in sync, but yeah its all good. (=. All of them went home, and now I'm sitting here at the computer, typing this random crap. o-o. My whole body is sore, wtf >_>. Ow.

I'ma post up some pictures from our previous dance (in 2008). Don't ask me why I don't look like I do now, because back then, I didn't care 'bout what I wore or what I looked like. Also, I look like a nerdy dweeb, yeah? LOL. The first few pictures are pics of our old dance. The last one, will be what I look like now. You can totally see the difference. Anyway, I'm out!

Pictures to our dance for the song Toi Yeu by Ho Le Thu, Thanh Truc, and Nhu Loan. (October 5th, 2008, The day of Vietnamese Scouting in San Jose.)




I love the camera! This is what I look like now. LOL. Taken by Victoria Le. DON'T ASK D:!

Party, Dances, and Over-Asian Parents.

The last few days have been nothing but boredom, with the except of June 13 and 14. School has let out and summer has finally come. So far, all I've been doing is sitting on the computer being a fat guy with the occasional parties and practices for our TT9 dance for scouts.

June 13th, 2009
I went to scouts today and we learned some more skills to use during the TT9 games. After scouts, I went home, showered, and changed for Queenie Faye Guitang's graduation party. I waited about an hour or so and then finally it was time to go. My dad drove me to the house and I went inside.



I waited for the girls to come back from the other house, so I decided to hang with the kids for a bit and help them set up the pool for them to swim in. About fifteen minutes later, they came home. They showered, changed, did their hair, and everything else you can think of that a girl normally does.



After that, we walked to 7-eleven as a group of 6. When we got near the place, hella people honked at us with their stupid cars, and we passed some random Indian guys who looked like they were in their 30s. I looked at them with glaring eyes, but they did not seem to notice, since they were checkin' out my friend's butts. I was like, WTF, you perverted freaks, quit checkin' out my friend before I beat the crap outta you! Course, I didn't say that out loud, but I really wanted to.



We went inside 7-eleven and bought Hi-Chew, which we ate along the way home. When we got home, we ate dinner. Dang, the girls cooked hecka well. I absolutely j'adored the food (=! Around 7:30, Rece had to go home, so we all piled into the car and drove her home.



Later, we went to Queenie's actual house and picked up her speakers to play some music, since it was quiet, except for the sound of lots of people talking to each other of course. More people began to come and the party officially started.



Someone brung out Queenie's graduation cake, so we ate some of it. After awhile, we started caking each other. I was crackin' up as my friend tripped and face planted into a bowl of cake and nachos. LOL EW. Around 9:30, my dad called and said that he was coming to pick me up. Aw man! I wanted to stay there all night and party with my friends! Oh well.



I drank some Bacardi, but not enough to get me drunk, so that was good. My dad came, drove me home, and I changed out of everything. I brushed my teeth, turned out the lights, and fell asleep.

June 14th, 2009
I woke up knowing that I had to go to Victoria Le's house for TT9 practice today. I ran down, showered, did my hair, ate breakfast, brushed my teeth, and grabbed my camera and wallet and headed out. I arrived at Victoria's around 10 in the morning.



We came up with moves for most of the dance. Everyone started coming around 11, so we began to actually practice. Our song we are dancing to for TT9?



That'll be a secret for now. We will beat Dien Hong, for our troop is so much better (=, that's all I have to say. Around 2, after much practicing, my mom came and picked me and Andy up. He ended up staying at my house for about 15 minutes, before he had to go to piano lessons. Yup, that day was much more mellow, but at least I had fun. (=.

June 15th, 2009
Today was a chillax day for me. All I really did was go on AIM, Facebook, Myspace, and play some games. Nothing really happened today so, I won't say anything much.

June 16th, 2009



I found out that my parent's friends told my mom that I was using bad language on Facebook, so she's making me deactivate my Facebook and Myspace. Well heres to that, I will deactivate my Facebook, since it doesn't have any sense of security what so ever anyway. I will NOT delete my Myspace. I NEED to keep a contact of my friends, please and thank you. I don't even cuss on there, unless I'm really mad. D:!



I wish I had less strict parents because as of now, I can not fully show myself out there. I'm a party animal, let's face it, and because of my parents, I am limited to how far I can go to show who I really am. >_>.



Anyway, I'ma continue reading my stinkin' book since I don't have anything to do today either. LMAO, don't think I'm weird just cuz I read girly books, mmkay? That's just me. What about you? Anyway, I'm still making plans with my friends to go out to the mall and just have fun. (=. Hopefully, things work out. I'm off for now. Bye!

Goodbye Sophomore year! =).

These last few days have been super crazy, but in the end everything turned out to be the best. Sophomore year finally came to an end as everyone in school prepared for finals and said goodbye to the graduating class of 2009. The week after, we began to have finals, and we finally all said goodbye to each other before heading out for summer. I'm seriously going to miss every single one of you guys, whether you guys had a positive impact or a negative impact; at least for the next 3-ish months. Start to ramp up for next year because to those who come from the class of 2011 out there, we're going to be PURPLE JUNIORS!!!!

Monday, June 8th, 2009.
I started to prepare for my only final I had left. Spanish. I saw Ashley Zhang today, who was supposed to be on the senior trip, but she missed the bus on accident.



Tracy Truong gave me this present today from American Eagle Outfitters. I absolutely adore any designer brand name clothing, whether it's from American Eagle, Hollister, H&M, or many more.

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009.
For English, I had my Lord of the Flies test. It was super easy, everyone finished in about 30 minutes. We then had a whole free period. Since we are on finals schedule for the next few days, I only have 2 periods per day. I went to PE and hung with my big sister, Trisha for 2 hours straight. It was pretty boring, but at least we didn't have to go run or anything like that. Ah, the lazy life...for now.

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009.
I had AP World History and Spanish 2 today. In AP class, I took a whole bunch of pictures with me and my friends.



We watched this movie called "The Thing." It's a horror movie, which I do not like. At one point, I was about to scream because there was something I did not expect to be there, but I covered my mouth shut. I had my Spanish final after lunch. I think I deliberately failed it. I did not study at all and I knew. My parents kept telling me to study. I lied to them. They're so going to kill me when they see my report card. Fuck my life.

Thursday, June 11th, 2009.
Today is the last day of school. I woke up, got dressed, grabbed my camera and headed off. For 5th period, I passed the challenge so I didn't have to even be there, except for the last 5 minutes of class. So, instead, I went and hung in Mrs. Maestas' class with my friends for a bit, then off to PE and hung with my other friends, then back to Maestas. Then, I went to Mr. Big Mac and got checked in. After that, it was lunch time.



I ran around the school trying to gather up as many pictures as possible. The bell rang for 6th period and we had a barbecue. I ran to Mr.Smith and gave a hamburger, cookie, chips, and some soda to my closest friend at this school as of now, Trisha Lorraine Gutierrez. After that, I made myself one and ate it. I ended up taking pictures with all of my friends for the whole period and then the bell rang. I ran out screaming, "FREEDOM!" Well, not literally, but you get the point. Said goodbye to all my friends, and headed home.



Tomorrow is when all the seniors graduate...Goodbye Tracy Truong, My Pham, Micaela Gonzalez, and all those lovely senior people I met this year. Good luck in life.



I'm so looking forward to Saturday. Party with them! WOOT.

Goodbye c/o '09 ):

My posts are going to be a little different this time. As for pictures, I'll put a picture of whatever is important to me, yeah? (:

Monday, June 1st, 2009:
-We didn't have to dress out for PE and I got to see my friends again (:
-Excited for rally this Friday but sad because Friday is senior's last day.
-I gave my present to Tracy Truong today. She absolutely loved it (:. The present was a gold necklace with an ice cream pendant. The ice cream pendant had jewels of different colors.

-I had a schedule issue for next year, but then later in the week I found that it was all good, sooo yeah, not too much here. Although I do hope to make the next school year special for all the seniors, since most of my friends come from that awesome class.
-My parents are making me swim this summer. I went to tryouts and I realized that I wasn't as strong as I used to be. At the end, I began to get really sore. Damn, I'm so unfit, what the fuck D:! Luckily though, I still retained most of my skills and techniques to make it to the highest level, which was called the "Senior Class." I felt very accomplished, although my dad was like hella yelling at me. LOL.

Lesson of my day? I wish for so many things, yet I know I won't be able to get what I want. That's a thing called Life yeah? O-o.

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009:
-I accidentally spilled coffee on my jeans and got a little bit on my autograph pages. Whoops, LOL. FML ):.

-In second period, I got invited to my friend's graduation party. The party is on the 13th of June at Queeny Faye Guitang's house. I wonder how many shots it'll take until I get that little buzz and then fully drunk. Of course, I wouldn't go that far, since my parents would never let me sleepover at anyone's house. Stupid much.

-At break, I went to Ms. Shoopman to talk to her about my schedule. What my new schedule looks like now is much different from before. I have: English 3, AP US History, AP Calculus AB, Spanish 3, Physiology, Leadership, and Open 7th Period. Yay, I have Leadership next year! Hopefully my place is secure (:.
-I had my VSA interview today for Vice President. Hopefully my answers were well enough to grab me the position or push me higher into recognition yeah?
-I started studying for my math final. I needed a 94% to get an A- in the class. Fuck my life.
Lesson of the day? When you let your grades drop, it is EXTREMELY hard to bring it back up. ):!

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009:
-4 more months until my SIXTEENTH birthday! ^^ Yay.
-I found out that I had a 90% average on my quizzes for Chemistry Honors class. I don't have to take the finals! WOOT!!!
-There was not much happening today, sooo it's short.
Lesson of my day? I spend way too much money on things that I don't need. ):

Thursday, June 4th, 2009:
-In first period, we read the last chapter of Lord of the Flies. We also had a quiz on it. I ended up guessing on ALL of the questions and when he went over all the answers, I found that I got ALL the answers correct. LOLOLOLOL.

-Today was Part One of my math finals. I received Version A, which I heard was supposed to be the easiest of the 4. It was very hard and I think I failed. ):
-Tomorrow is another de-ja-vu for Math class.
-I'm going to miss all my friend's over the summer ):
Lesson of the day? If you have to; cheat. But if you cheat badly, do NOT try to cheat at all. (:

Friday, June 5th, 2009:
-Today was the senior's last day of school. Everywhere I went, I found people crying because they know that most likely, they won't see their friends again as their life finally begins.

-The last rally was today. It was hella fun, but it was also hella emotional. I was about to cry because I realized that I'd grown so close to some of the seniors that I didn't want them to go. ):.
-In 4th period, the seniors took their finals today. We were also saying really random and stupid insults in different languages, from Tagalog to Vietnamese.
-In 5th period, my results were confirmed and I don't have to take the final this Thursday. Sweet.
-I took Part 2 of the math final today. It was much easier than part one, but I still failed. I received a 27/50, which was a 54%. Fuck. My parents are going to kill me.
-I'm going to Piedmont's Last Dance today. Party like a Rockstar, bitches! (:!
-Congratulations Class of 2009, your life is officially starting!
Lesson of my day? You never know what you have until it's gone.

Saturday, June 6th, 2009:

-The dance was hella fucking crazy. People were drunk and buzzin' around everywhere. I danced with so many people, including Jayme Yee, Caitlin Cunningham, Jacqueline Goodwin, etc. I saw a lot of my friends there too, which was a good thing (:. People were looking at me with their jaws dropped open. Everyone assumes I'm the goody two shoes nerdy guy, when honestly, I'm the exact opposite. Get to know me before you assume things alright, homeskillets? Ahaha. (:.
-I went to scouts today and hung with toriaa, Jessica, Pauline, Lynn, Andy, Kevin, and some other people. It was pretty boring, but at least I saw my friends.
Lesson of the day? Friends make the world go round (:! iLy guys. =).


Congratulations Piedmont Hills High Class of 2009, you guys finally made it! Shoutout to Tracy Truong, My Pham, and Micaela Gonzalez -> I love you guys and good luck! I'll miss you!
