| as much as i try to blog, i think i'm just more of a self-reflection/write in a diary type o' gal. i know that typing is so much easier than writing, but writing gives a diary that old school pizazz. i'll tell you all one thing, though. i can't seem to do my sweep. so far, i've got two journals--the second one is nearing its end. i think it's the content. actually, i know it's the content that's preventing me from getting rid of it.

| i finally remembered which old and whacky email was associated with this particular xanga. i didn't have the heart/energy to erase old entries. i guess i'm just moving forward. leaving the past to be the past... and possibly some great rainy day entertainment.
with so much technology out there, i bet you wonder why i took so much time to revive this dusty ol' xanga. well, ever see things and think "wow, that is soo myspace" or "that'd be a great tweet?" ha that's basically what i was thinking when i mentally put together this blog... "soo xanga." what's the difference, you ask? well, with xanga, i think it's more like a rambling of thoughts. on facebook, people write on walls (that usually have to make sense to at least the person reading it) and on twitter, updates are specific and very brief. with xanga, i can go onnn and oonnnnn. i guess i could have done this in my journal, but i guess i wanted that feeling that i'm on the soap box speaking my mind... and people can posssssibly be reading this looking for some entertainment or insight.
hm, what can i say? i think that if i could improve on certain characteristics, it would be my patience and my understanding/open-mind. everytime i say this, people seem shocked that i pointed out those two things--because apparently i'm quite patient and already understanding. but you know what? i don't think one can ever have too much patience or understanding. how many times can patience get you out of a frustrating situation? or how many times can an open and understanding mind save your sanity? let me just say the answer to both would be COUNTLESS. i can only give a few examples when i list golf, school, and relationships to be areas that can ALWAYS benefit from patience and an open mind.
how are those three things i just mentioned? there MUST be somethin xanga worthy in them for me to mention my desire for patience and understanding and not-so-slickly talk about golf, school, and relationships. well, let me tell you...
GOLF is fun. i think i am head over heels in love with that sport. and, to be honest, i'm not even that great at it. i love how it always tests me and helps me grow. i'm definitely improving and more patience and an open mind is helping me do so. i'll admit, sometimes i get a little jealous when those around me are 10x better. i always forget, though, that life is not a competition. it's your own race. it's true that people can beat you at your own game, but that is only if you let them. i need to remember that those people are probably not in the same boat as i am--i just started not too long ago, haven't had any private lessons, and don't devote that much time to it. in all honesty, golf is just a game that keeps me sane and humble. always being challenged; constantly learning. how can i let go of a sport that enriching? i simply cannot =)
SCHOOL has been at an all-time high for me. i've never been so dedicated and so happy with it. it's my final year at UCSC and the year full of my major: literature. let me tell you, majoring in literature has got to be one of the best decisions i've ever made.

| WOW. i totally forgot about this xanga! hello xanga-ers. hello facebookers who clicked on this link. hello stalkers. um, let's see.
first of all, happy birthday to lanelle! LA-NELLE!, we need to catch up and hang out and party and just update each other on our lives haha.
damn, all my past entries weren't even beyond high school. i moved to bigger and better thangs, baby. it's called COLLEGE. i recommend it. if not the academics, definitely the experiences, because they're once in a lifetime and they help you mature. anywho. what has been up with sien sien sienaaaaaaaa lately.... my current classes are philosophy (ethical theory), computer engineering (assistive technology), music (western art music). are those like the most random classes you've ever seen or what. that's the pain of general education, my friends. blah. at least next quarter, i'll actually be starting to focus on my major/minor- literature/education. yeah, i know! last i left off, i was planning on being a communications major... i don't know, i just feel like literature is my thing. i already think way too much, so why not apply it to other people who think just as much? same with education. i love kids. i love helping. why not help kids learn how to think a lot? haa. so classes are pretty blah right now. i'm prettu sure i'm going to pass philosophy, but gosh, i really don't know about the rest. hopefully i'm just being paranoid and i will end up passing. so well, i don't really know what to say. if you were unhappy with this entry, whatever to you. read like my old ones or something. or make a xanga and write about your life. or make a facebook and add me. or make a myspace and add some middle schoolers ha.

| i don't even know if anyone reads this, but i wanna make the most of my P30 per hr. yeah, that's right, i'm in the philippines! it's soo hot here... but everything is so cheap! w/ a dollar, you can buy an entire meal (drink w/ free refills included!) well, i just wanted to update the xanga world, i really don't have much to write. oh wait, i miss soo many people.... especially since when i get back, there won't be any school to see everyone at! all that high school stuff was pretty blah at times, but now i realize it was all worth it for such a feeling of accomplishment. now hopefully, all systems are GO when it comes to santa cruz. i'm even hoping for a special suprise addition! everything is so far, so good... i'll update more about my trip later. | | |
| HIGH SCHOOL IS OVER!! -tear, tear, sniff, tear, tear, sniff-
well, let me update on what has happened. GRADNITE was s0o0o fun! i rode "indiana jones" and found out that it's the best ride ever invented on the planet (well, for me)! i also found out that Disneyland really is "the happiest place on earth"... i love that place, and hoooopefully -wink wink-, i'll get to go annually starting.... now! haha. PROM 06 was the time of my life!! i had the greatest date (for me)... i couldn't have pictured going w/ anyone else. translated: Do you have Bubbygum?!
next on the list is SENIOR BREAKFAST and then.... GRADUATION. i'm so nervous about graduating high school... so many good times happened there... then again, some shitty times happened there, too so now i'm not that nervous! jk! i can't wait to test all my friendships and relationships with the obstacle of college... especially ME... geeeez, i'm gonna be a banana slug! i hope everyone visits me, so they can see how cute our mascot is, and the SANTA CRUZ banana slug isn't yucky at allll. i'm pretty scared to "test" everything and leave... but at the same time, the people i wanna test BETTER know all the material (they better know who they are) and have all the resources (aka a CAR, TRAIN TICKET, PLANE TICKET, MOPED, WHAT-EV will get you to sc) to pass!!
..and to end on a corny note: i'm crossing my fingers and hoping and praying that prom's last song will seriously carry on.... what was the last song, you ask? WHAT ELSE-- heatwave's always and forever | | |
