Day 29, February 28

Woah, is it really the end of the month already? This sucks. I'm still working on make up work..decided to work on spanish today. I don't know why. I should be working on English and Biology. Oh well. I ordered pizza today again. It was my breakfast, lunch, and dinner; along with OJ. I sorted through all of yesterday's pics and worked on spanish vocab. And since I didn't take a pic today, I'm going to cheat and use one from yesterday. xP
Oh, and did I mention I pretty much have a month to get a HUGE load of things done. Things including TSA State Officer application, raising $4k to even go to states, and a bunch of other stuff for school that I can't think of. And the nine weeks ends on the 27th. Where has the time gone?!?!
And...V made this thing for his phone, and I'm in it! =] I feel special. hehe.


Picture for today: Virak sitting up on that thingy. Looking quite good I must say ;]

Day 28, February 27

Sorry for the late post, I was uber tired. Today was a half day, it went by pretty fast and was an overall good school day. Now, afterschool...that's a different story. ;D That part of the day was pretty GREAT if you ask me =] Alex, Kyle, Virak, Eilene, Jen, Julia, Danny, and I went to the park and then to Jen's house. I shot more 3's then Alex!! =P and I actually hit a ball! Like I hit a few...but there was only one that actually went somewhere, if that makes any sense. And, the guys spent some time doing cartwheels..which was quite entertaining. Danny won with 9 consecutive cartwheels. Oh, and next time I need to being more CapriSun haha. Ahh, so much went on that I can't even begin to describe. You'll have to check out my Flickr for that. =] I took about...400 pics and ended up keeping less than 100.

Day 27, February 26

Sorry for today's picture kind of being meh. I'm tired and did it in 10mins. The brown bear came out really nice in a lot of the pics. I'm going to have to take a pic of it on its own some day. =] But, yea it often happens when I'm taking a shower... And also there was this one show that I watched where they had the camera hidden in a teddy bear's eye..
Anyways, let's see...I'm, I think, 3/4 done with the Tank game tutorial! It now has an objective and rockets and u explodeee if u get hit haha. I think the next thing I'm doing is the score..then after that I can build different levels and what not. The history test I took today was really iffy. I'm hoping for at least a C. Eng, Math, Chem, Bio, Spanish are same old same old. I've decided to take all of my make up tests/quizes in Spanish on Monday, so wish me luck!
Oh, I also cleaned out my bag because it was started to get heavy..pretty much whatever I took out got put back in in the form of a new math notebook xD but it's clean nonetheless. Ermm...I don't remember what else I was going to say, but I'm going to go to sleep and maybe wake up early to do English. I can't wait til tomorrow afternoon! =] TGIF!

Day 26, February 25

So today's pic has got to be one of the fastest ones I've done. I prepared/laid it out and took about 20 quick shots and *poof* done! I wonder if anyone I've posted about will actually see/guess their pic. Anyways, moving on. I took the AMC 12 today. It was kinda weird. We couldn't use calculators this year and I think the time was shortened but I'm not sure. The level of difficulty is practically the same. Less drawing for me this year though. Oh, and it said -1.5 for each question left UNANSWERED? and 0 for each incorrect? I thought that was weird. I had to reread it like 5 times to make sure. So, yea when she said 5mins left, I scanned the questions and bubbled in random answers. I was doing like the first page going ooo I can do this, no need for a calculator and then I hit half way through the test and it's like BAM! I want my calculator!! Help me!!! lol. I'm slowly but surely getting caught up in math and I'm caught up with my chem labs. =] We had some interesting convos. haha. Glad I didn't have to deal with the hecticness of my fellow IB Chem students. haha. Ermm..I spent lunch/reading period in Harriman's working on my flash thing because I'm addicted and it's relaxing and I wasn't hungry. I'd much rather enjoy the peace of computers and Adobe. Oh, and missing keys. ;]
I don't know, I haven't been doing much homework at home. The time just flies and I've been relaxing and chatting away on the computer. I've been doing a good amount of work during school though, if that counts. =] Oh, and I was craving pizza, but it's Ash Wednesday...so I was left ordering a small pizza with tomatoes and a sandwich with mushroom, onions, peppers, and cheese for 9.99 from Dominoes; was perfectly filling.

Day 25, February 24

I didn't want to go to school today, yet again. It was a pretty good day though. Just a quick recap..I did random stuff, listened to a guidance counselor, didn't have to take a history test, wrote on note cards, worked on flash, organized, did more organizing, wrote on more index cards, worked on lab, ate ice cream, got back with Phil --, ate chips with salsa, watched tv, took a picture, blogged! *phew* and to think there's more to be done tonight! I still have lots of stuffs, but I'm doing pretty good if you ask me =]
Plans for this weekend, as of now are Park, Fair, homework, homework, and homework. Sounds good to meeee =D

Picture for today: Secret #2 [I like how the keyboard came out]

Day 24, February 23

11:21am - I just woke up and feeling somewhat motivated to make this day productive, thanks to alex's listening and phil's optimism. (i think) I'm going to start my day off with a little photography ;D and go through pics from yesterday. Then, maybe grab something to eat...then homework time!! (seriously, this time.)
I had a weird dream last night. I'll just say a couple random things that were in it since it really had no story line. Watching TV. Pageant. Beach. Cookies. Ghost kid haunting around house. Giant part of a home movie set, apparently on top of my dining room table in my living room. Playground at Holy Name. Swings. Oversized oranges that apparently only the guys were capable of throwing. Walking/crawling on the stairs/hallways. Everything just being so...different. (yes, random, I know. what do you want me to do about it? xD)

3:48pm - I've decided to devote 1 hour to each class and go to sleep at 10 tonight. I know an hour isn't enough for some classes and that it's more than enough for others. So we'll see how it goes in the end. I just did an hour of Flash, which was a great way to ease into the work if you ask me. =]

8:47pm - The one hour per subject thing failed...V and Eilene came over..and I got a half hour behind...then I ate...and I got more behind..then I worked on Eng..and got carried away. So, yea...I'll just try that again tomorrow. I'm getting stuff done though. =] I'm going to finish the Eng P2 topic then...do maybe one more thing for tonight and maybe do a pic then go to sleep. My eng topic is... "Exploration of characters manipulating their surroundings to fulfill their desires in Dürrenmatt's The Visit and Shakespeare's Macbeth." How's that for a topic?

-- 11:38pm - I didn't finish my eng supporting quotes for the topic, but I did do quite a bit of work today, if I do say so myself ;] I hope to continue that pattern again tomorrow.
Oh, and I think I mentioned it the other day but I'm not sure..anyways, I'm going to be doing a PostSecret type of thing combined with the "Guess which number you are!" thing and it'll turn out to be a filler type thing that I do whenever I don't have anything else. xD. A lot of these..I think up randomly throughout the day. Today's happens to be from Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie. I was listening to it and was like woahh that's exactly what I'm thinking! (Oh, and Alexa..to me, both ways are right haha. 'woah' and 'whoa'; woah just happened to be typed this time.)

Day 23, February 22

Today was a major fail. I really didn't do anything productive. I spent the day laying in bed on the computer, as always. I was itching the get out of the house. Not just go outside but actually go somewhere. Around 3 my grandpa asked if I wanted to go fishing, at first, I said no, I have homework..but that I was like wait a second..this is what I've been waiting for! So, I ran outside to tell him that I was going. Then, I ran back inside to grab my camera and what nots. It was quite pretty there. =] But not very many great photo opportunities. I want a bigger lens! xD! well, hopefully after I crop some of these, they'll be good =D Then, I spent some time talking to Alex and then Phil. --
Okay, so more of my down side... I've just been pretty much completely unmotivated to do anything except for lay on my bed and go on facebook and play cubis2. it's sad, but true. I feel like as if I've switched mindsets with a few people and perhaps that's just the way it's supposed to be. Even though I'm really meh right now, I'm happy that they're finally not. Thanks to those who were trying to help me. I appreciate it, but I think I'm still missing something.
Oh, and as for my pictures, I've decided to do something different. Kind of as a filler when I don't have any good picture moments. It'll kind of be like a postsecret thing. Well, there'll kinda be secrets but there'll also be some things of what I think about certain people. (like that guess what number you are note thing that's been going around on facebook, but I'm going to do it with pictures =])

Picture for today: My grandpa and Jenny walking back to the car.

Day 22, February 21

I seriously am not doing this intentionally. (The whole posting an image every other day) I just didn't get around to taking a picture...or doing homework for that matter. I'm still talking to Phil, and I think the emotions are finally starting to get to me. Which is a good and bad thing. Good because..it assures me that I'm still me. Bad because I wanna stay strong about the decisions I've made. -- I talk to Alex a lot, well...I try to...whenever he's available..but he's often not and he's the only one I'm really comfortable talking to lately. I just hope I'm not being too bothersome/annoying.
Anyways, not much happened today...again. Time just flew by. I ate, watched ABDC, ate some more, and watched NCIS. That was pretty much my day. Oh, and my grandma got me my medicine that Dr. Go prescribed and I don't want to take it. My cough isn't bad and I don't think I need medicine. She prescribed Z-pack, which has common side effects of stomach ache/cramps and diarrhea, which is definitely not at all pleasant. On webmd, it said that if the doctor prescribed it then the benefits are much greater than the risks of side effects. To me, my 'symptoms' are definitely not worth having stomach aches and diarrhea. But, my grandma paid like $40 for it. w/e. I'll just take it, maybe (hopefully) it'll actually do me good and I don't get any bad side effects. Oh, and something amusing I found on the packaging.."5 doses of z-pack are equivalent to 30 or more doses of conventional oral antibiotics." ain't that just dandy? oh and it warns that I shouldn't take it if it's not highly suspected that I have a bacterial infection, which I don't think I do and I don't see how the doctor came to the conclusion I did. Well, I just took the medicine...and I can't stop the cycle now..unless I have severely bad side effects. =\
-- Sorry for the long posts, but that's what my blogs' are mainly for...ranting and saying some things I probably wouldn't normally say. I considered having a different blog for my rantings, but that'd somewhat defeat the purpose.

p.s. If you used to read my blog...i hope u remember what the whole -- was. ;] *hint hint* if not, then...ask! but I still might not tell you xP Oh, and while I was looking for the code, I found another post that I wrote..that is kind of on my mind again.

Picture for today: My shadow.

Day 21, February 20

Today was definitely an unexpected one. There's much to say, and I'm really tired. Well, here we go! I got woken up at 8:30 by grandpa saying we were going to WPB to see Dr. Go and my grandma said we'd be back at 11. So I brought my camera and laptop and The Visit to help pass the time in the car and at the doctor's office. I literally spent the day playing solitaire until 3ish? Anyways, my grandparents had to get blood work done when we got to WPB and I sat in the doctor's office waiting for them. Then we went next door to see Dr. Go's wife, who is also Dr. Go, but she's a pediatrician. But yea, I got a checkup...and then she asks if I've ever had blood work done. I said no, and she asks if I want it done. Of course, my reply is no because I don't like the thought of having a needle poked in my skin, even though I know it doesn't hurt. Well, the doctor and my grandma both insisted that I did...so I did. -.- Also throughout the checkup, I was being preached to about God and all that stuffs, and I was just like =\, I know..I know. (Oh, did I mention my grandparents are friends of Dr. Go? I don't know if that's even relevant)Anyways, by this time I realize that when my grandma said 11...she meant pm and not am...I was really -.- . Also, somewhere that morning I went to Dunkin Donuts where...I got some really sweet tea =] After the check up we went to my grandparent's friend's house until it was time for mass. Apparently, there was a surprise birthday party for Dr. Go. (the wife) So after the mini mass, we went to the party...where...everyone was speaking tagalog...which sucked because I could only pick up bits and pieces and I was just sitting there the whole time. And I knew from time to time they were talking about me but I couldn't understand them much. And, of course, there was a lot of...OMG ur so big now!!!
And now for a few random things that occurred/that I realized.
1. My grandma and her friends are quite funny. They say some pretty unexpected things (out of the things I did understand...when I heard them say it was I was like o.O?!) Things...which I think would be best if I didn't share for the world to see haha. (not like the world reads this anyways.)
2. WPB is so different from how I remember it to be. Maybe it's just because I lived in PSL for 5 years and I have a different perspective on things. But it's just like woah! Everything is just everywhere, unlike PSL where everything is pretty much off of US1.
3. The Filipino Consulate of South Florida was there? I don't even know what to say about that one.
4. I broke up with Phil yesterday. Don't ask me to explain exactly why. Part of it is that it just sort of happened. I seem pretty fine with it on the outside/when I talked with him today. But, I'm definitely in need for a little cheering up. Which I was planning on doing today....and then homework over the weekend. But it looks like it'll just be homework this weekend.

Erm, I don't know what else to say. This is already a really long post, with useless information about my day. I suppose it's time for me to go to sleep. I'll post the picture for today later because it's already late and I'm rambling and I need sleep.

Photo for today: A random girl from the party waiting for cake.

Day 20, February 19

I seem to be posting pictures every other day...but at least I'm posting every night right? There's not much to say for today, mainly because I'd rather not say at the moment. I was feeling lightheaded this morning, but I decided to go to school anyways. By third hour, I couldn't take it anymore so I went to the nurse to go home. I actually didn't leave til the end of fourth hour because of my aunt getting lost and then her not being on my pickup list for some reason. When I got home, I slept. After I woke up, I ate..then eventually watched City of Embers with my dad and little sister. It was a good movie, by the way and it was definitely a good change of pace in my day. After a while, I talked to Phil and Alex. Well, Alex didn't really say much, I did much of the talking, but apparently my emotions can be delivered through my IMs. And the last thing I'll mention before I head to bed is that...things will most likely get worse before they get better...because that's just the way life works. (well, at least I think so) and things will turn out for the better, as long as I take things one step at a time. (hopefully...*crosses fingers*)

Picture for today: Cheesecake from yesterday.

--edit: hmm...I seem to have said more than I thought I would, but trust me...it could be a whole heck of a lot longer if I wanted you to read my ranting, though I very much doubt you'd enjoy that. xD

Day 19, February 18

I'm really tired so I'm gonna head out early tonight. Right after I post today's and yesterday's pictures.
Today wasn't so bad, I guess you could say it's getting better. I still have a bunch of tests to make up but I'll get through them. I should be doing more homework, but I think I'll pass for today. I'll take care of it tomorrow. I'm more and more disliking English, because of all the ridiculousness. I did a bunch of math today. =] I'm pretty sure I failed my Chem test but I'll get to retake it. There's a bunch of work for bio, but I'm relieved about it. And...Spanish...I should be okay once I get the vocab done. =] I can get through this =D Just give me time.
Erm, change of subject...I felt like I had to throw up a few times today. I have the feeling I ate too much...but I'm pretty sure I didn't eat too much. So, I don't know. I still feel like eating. Like I want to eat..but I don't want to actually eat if that makes any sense.

Picture for today: My grandparents and JJ celebrating my grandpa's belated birthday cake.

p.s. Good Luck to Rachael on her SkillsUSA Competitions! ^^

Day 18, February 17

Today went a lot better than I expected. I still have lots of homework and tests to make up but it's okay. I'll get it done. Just give me some time. =] I really did not want to go to school today, to the point where I was crying and ready to throw a tantrum lol. but I went and am much relieved. There's still stress...but it's more of a reassured stress if that makes any sense. hah. The only thing I'm worried about making up is English. I just don't like her teaching style. As for Bio...Yes, there's lots of things, but she seemed pretty lax about it and pretty much said to just have the things in whenever I can, as long as they're before the 9wks. =D So that was a big load off of my shoulders.
Well, no picture for today...yet. My camera died as I was taking pictures and I had already deleted what I didn't like...so I have nothing, but I'll be sure to have something tomorrow.

Picture for today: What I like to call...Hamtaro's heart =]

Day 17, February 16

I'm still working on homework. I'm still nowhere near to being done, but I've gotten my Enzyme Lab out of the way. I think I'm going to get a chunk of English journals done before I give up for the day. I have no idea how I'm going to do all of this, but I know it's going to require some fresh new motivation. A cleared desk would help a lot too. xP

Picture for today: Alfred, me, and AJ at Discovery Zone a loooong time ago.
= my lame attempt at a picture for today.

Day 16, February 15

Why me? Why now? There's nothing to be done. All that I can do is my schoolwork. Maybe, just maybe, when that works out, everything else will fall into place.
5:52pm - I feel like running away and never coming back. There's so much work to be done...Where do I start? Hold my hand and walk me through this...please?

Picture for today: Hamtaro! (Phil found my dollar heart =])

--edit: Ended up not doing that much...maybe by some miracle I can finish it all tomorrow?

Day 15, February 14

Happy Valentines Day! Today, overall wasn't the best of days. It started fine...then spiraled downhill and is now slowly leveling back out. I'm starting to feel detached from everyone around me and it's a very...lonely feeling. Yes, I still have a lot of work to do, but it's just whatever at the moment. I'm sorry to anyone that I snapped at today. I was just a in a bad mood. I still kind of am right now, but no as much. I just wish there was someone who would understand. I'm done for today. g'nite.

Picture for today: At the Barnes and Noble fundraiser. Oh, and that fundraiser lasts ALL week (until the end of Friday)! So just download the voucher at drop.io/tchstsa and spread the word!

Day 14, February 13

It's Friday the 13th! ahhhh! (not really..) Was going to start homework today but ended up not doing so. Got my pictures and framed them for the SLC Fair and then made a bunch of bags for problem solving. That would be the most work I've done the past week. Then I went to Double Dragon for dindin. =] Now I'm talking to Julio and then I'll talk to my TeddyBear and fall asleep.

Picture for today: Wooden rose from last year's Pineapple Festival.

Day 13, February 12

Today was...meh. =\ Phil came to surprise me, which was ^^. Then I was off to the walk-in clinic to get a doctor's note, which was stupid and a waste of $20. The school's stupid. whatever. We paid the doctor to tell me what I already knew. I'm pretty much over my sickness. I just still have a lot a lot a lot of school work to do and I'm just plain not ready to go to school tomorrow. So, I'm not planning on going to school tomorrow and I'll work on my stuff all weekend. (There's a lot a lot a lot of stuff btw, if you hadn't noticed earlier ;]) When I got home, my parents and grandparents were telling me how much I needed to go to school tomorrow and that I needed to stop being lazy and then I spent the next half hour or so crying in my room. Then I ate, and here I am. g'nite.

Picture for today: Random shot while waiting in the waiting room.

Day 12, February 11

I don't remember much of what happened today. I didn't do much, that's for sure. I still have much work to do. =\
I really dislike sitting around doing pretty much nothing. I just hope I'll be able to get all of this done.

Picture for today: Blue crabs in the pot getting ready to be cooked.

Day 11, February 10

I'm currently laying here on my side eating leftover chicken fried rice from Benihana. Today was somewhat exciting. I spent the morning/afternoon watching tv. Mostly all of the aching has gone away. Now I'm left with increased coughing, a stuffy nose, and surprisingly...sneezes. Oh, and three sneezes that turned out to be coughs at the same time? Anyways, after hours of tv, I went outside to take pics because I saw a sandhill crane. On my way to the back, I got distracted by my poinsettia tree. As I was taking pictures...and zooming in...all of a sudden a noticed a really long tailed lizard..which really scared me because I don't like being that close to lizards/frogs. I ended up taking a few shots though =] Anyways, by the time I got to the back..the sandhill crane had gone across the shallow part of the canal and I ended up taking pictures of my sister and some other random things. I took about 100 pictures within I'd say less than a half hour. Then I helped my grandpa hold a flashlight while he was fixing the garage. After that, I don't know what happened to the time because here I am. g'night. =]

Picture for today: Poinsettia flower.

Day 10, February 9

My arms stopped hurting! *yay!* Today was kind of better. My fever came back and my head hurts every so often, but it's so much better than my arm hurting all day. I'm kind of drowsy too at the moment. I spent the day watching tv and sleeping. Still no homework...but I hope to be up for it tomorrow. I really want to get all of that stuffs done.

Picture for today: Clementines that my daddy bought me!

p.s. Happy Birthday AJ! =D

Day 9, February 8

Today kinda sucked. I have the flu. My arms hurt ALL day, starting last night. I didn't do any homework, and the aching arms occupied my day. One side of my garage is broken...it's off its hinges, and the only reason it hasn't completely fallen is because off all the junk under it that's supporting it. My grandpa wanted me to help him hold it up, but I passed because my arm's were hurting. Plus, I didn't want the garage door to fall on top of me. While I was outside, I noticed this hawk, so I ran inside to grab my camera. (Hawks have been sitting around nearby because of the smelly fish smell xD) But yea, I sat outside with my laptop and camera for about a half hour waiting for the hawk to fly and getting my mind off of my arms. Eventually, it flew around a few times (it was really pretty) and I got some good shots, but not exactly how I wanted them to be. I wish I had a bigger lens! Anyways, being the lazy person I am, I used Picasa to zoom in/crop them...and they actually didn't turn out that bad. =]

Picture for today: The hawk flying over some trees.

--edit: I forgot to mention the burnt popcorn earlier. It was quite funny. My aunt wasn't listening to the popcorn popping and it burnt really bad, and my lil brother was like "See! You should've listened to me! It wasn't my fault! You should've pressed the popcorn button!" He's such a cutie. xP
Oh, and too emphasize the severity of the burnt popcorn. There was smoke coming out of it...so I put it in the sink with some cool water...and then when the smoke subsided, my aunt opened the bag and a BIG poof of smoke came out and everything inside was all black...and it was buttery popcorn..so with all of the water...a bunch of oil and black icky stuff was coming out of the bag. (run on sentence much?)

----edit: wow the night keeps on getting more interesting. My mom came in asking if I was going to go to school tomorrow and my reply was "No! Are you crazy? I haven't done any work and I have the flu!" and she replies "That's the point! You go to school and spread your germs, that way you're not sick anymore!" lmao. Nice one mommy.

Day 8, February 7

I'm sick. I have a sore throat and my joints ache every so often and I have a fever. Not to mention, I have a HUGE load of homework that needs to be done. None of which I've started today. Phil came to surprise me, which was sweet. Until he got me upset...then left...then came back...then it was fine again. I missed a really pretty shot of the sunset reflected in the canal tonight because I fell...onto the wet grass. Uhm, yea...that's about it. I think I shall go lay in bed...and think of all the things I should've done today and will have to try to do tomorrow.

Picture for today: Orange tree in my backyard.

Day 7, February 6

We got report cards today, and I'm glad (not so much proud) to say that I got my predicted 3.4 and a 3.7 for the semester. I spent much of the school day drowsy and in pain, but the day got better as we went along. Thanks to Alex for the jacket pillow for me to squeeze and put my head on. xP On the bus ride home I watched an episode of Leverage and watched another episode when I got home, so I'm all caught up. =] Then I just chilled and spread the word about a fundraiser I'm doing on Feb. 14 at Barnes and Noble, which I definitely think you should attend. We're trying to raise money to go to states and nationals. All you have to do is present the voucher at time of purchase, and we get a portion of the sales. The uber sweet thing about this is that the voucher can be used at ANY Barnes and Noble, as long as it's used on February 14th. You can download it at http://drop.io/tchstsa So make sure to spread the word!
Oh, I also watched last night's ABDC. =] It was pretty cool. The teams this season are pretty tight. I don't really have an absolute favorite yet, but they're all pretty good. I'm not sure about those cloggers though lol. like, they're cool but not exactly the ones I'm rooting for and Quest Dance Crew was featured in a Wong Fu video..=P

Picture for today: Me watching ABDC. [A lazy day picture. =P]

Day 6, February 5

JJ is Citizen of the Month! =]
Aside from that, today was pretty bleh. I felt horrible this morning and frequently drowsy/weak. I really don't know what's wrong. My dad says it's from lack of sleep, but I've been sleeping pretty reasonable hours lately. It's just a weird feeling I get throughout the day. Hopefully it'll go away soon.

Picture for today: JJ after his Citizen of the Month ceremony.

Day 5, February 4

Today was an overall good day. School was kinda ehh but was okay, and TSA was interesting. We took the Keirsey Temperament Sorter which is like a personality test. It was a nice change of pace for TSA. I'm apparently an Artisan - Composer, and it was just very much dead on. The results are really long but I'll copy and paste some of the points later. Some highlights of the meeting included...Frank's personality being compared to the founders of McDonald's and Wendy's, Phil being compared to Oprah, and Daulton being weirded out by me taking pictures. xP

All Artisans (SPs) share the following core characteristics:
- tend to be fun-loving, optimistic, realistic, and focused on the here and now
- pride themselves on being unconventional, bold, and spontaneous.
- make playful mates, creative parents, and troubleshooting leaders.
- are excitable, trust their impulses, want to make a splash, seek stimulation, prize freedom, and dream of mastering action skills.

And this is the last paragraph about Artisan - Composers:
Composers are just as plentiful as the other Artisans, say nine or ten per cent of the population, but in general they are very difficult to observe and thus greatly misunderstood. Very likely the difficulty comes from their tendency not to express themselves verbally, but through their works of art. Composers are usually not interested in developing ability in public speaking, or even in the art of conversation; they prefer to feel the pulse of life by touch, in the muscles, in the eyes, in the ears, on the tongue. Make no mistake, Composers are just as interested as other types in sharing their view of the world, and if they find a medium of non-verbal communication-some art form-then they will express their character quite eloquently. If not, they simply remain unknown, their quietness leaving their character all but invisible.
Bob Dylan, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Cher, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Mel Brooks, Steven Spielberg, and Neil Simon are examples of a Composer Artisans.

Quite interesting eh?

Day 4, February 3

Well, Today went better but still isn't quite where I'd like it. I still have lots of homework to do, but what IB kid doesn't mind a little procrastination? Plus, English journals are icky.
As for my WiiFit workouts, they're not working so well...mainly because I haven't been doing them. But I think I'll eventually develop a routine I can do everyday. Even if it's not really anything major, at least I'm kinda building endurance?...ish?
Oh! and I learned a few things today! 1. In photoshop, you can do blending options on something...and then create a new layer without that object and just the blending options! 2. I discovered/ finally clicked on the 'more properties' info for photos on Flickr and it's so cool!

p.s. Happy Sweet 16 Frank! =P

Day 3, February 2

Sorry for such a late but I had some other things to ponder. I really did not want to be at school today. Like, I wanted to be there with my friends and get my work done, but at the same time I just did NOT want to be there. Hopefully, things will get better as the time passes.

Day 2, February 1

ahh, where to start?
Well, I started my day with procrastination, of course! and ventured off into an hour of WiiFit, which I'm going to try to do an hour of each day. Then, I rushed to see The Music Man, which was great and quite funny. I can't wait until Willy Wonka comes out! Next comes the highlight of my day, we all went to Sonny's! and I challenged Frank to an All You Can Eat sliced Pork eating contest. We'be always wanted to have eating contests, but always forget. So, tonight was the night. =] He couldn't finish his 3rd plate and I had finished 3 plates and most of my sides AND my plates...somehow had more pork on them. So, PWNd! ^^ (That was my breakfast, lunch, and dinner.) I so wished I had my camera with me, the pics would have been hilarious. We could not stop laughing and joking around, and I guess it was contagious because our waiter totally joined in on our craziness. Sadly, Frank forgot to ask for his numba. lol. and I ate lots of 'porks of plate' and then...I had to go home and write up my chem lab on density. =( I just finished it [2am]. sigh. Even though I still have tons of homework that I should've done while I was absent, it was totally worth it. I've gotten a chance to relax and ignore the stress of work piling up. (paradox anyone?)
