puppy power

so we got one of those little things.

a puppy.

i haven't a clue what breeds he is.

my sister doesn't know.

the friend who gave it to her doesn't know either.

but no matter.

he's friggin' adorable.

his name is nirvana

(my sister's idea, since he's technically hers --

i say technically because, knowing her, my mother and i are probably the ones cleaning up after him most of the time)

and he's seven weeks old.

this code is taking its toll on me

i might murder someone one day.

hopefully i won't.

but i hate not getting things that other people say are easy.

i don't like feeling dumb.

warning bells for a superiority complex, amiright?

and this goshdarn game is so frustrating.

other than a test on javascript, it's also a test on my patience.

which i never had much of to start with.

like a peach

i've been getting a lot of bruises lately.

some of them i'm fully aware of since i received them.

others, well.

i wake up and lean on the counter of the bathroom sink, groggy and sleep-addled, when a flash of pain suddenly rushes in.

my forearms are sore beyond belief.

of course i look and it's darker in a certain spot.

i'm not about to claim paranormal activity on this but it's weird.

at least i can account for the others.

like the areas of my legs from getting to aggressive with row hopping.

another from grazing my hand while i brought the chairs in where my mom works.

it's just a little pain though.

it'll fade away.

downtown funk

i went on an adventure yesterday.

on a whim, i went out and got on the subway.

heading to downtown los angeles.

i'm a little in love.

everything is so cheap.

including wholesale of my favourite brand of makeup.

i wanted to cry.

and then i looked for clothes.

and it was absolutely fabulous.

(the sales, i mean.)

there was also a bookshop but buying hours were already over.

heat of the moment

it's so hot right now.

i'm wearing a deep v-neck today.

so in the effort to save my virtue (what's left of it, that is), i wore my hoodie.

zipped up all the way.

i became a human furnace for fifteen minutes.

it was so hot waiting at the bus stop, where there is little shade and much sunshine.

i chose to save my makeup (from death by sweat) over my skin.

it was a good choice, i think.

eye makeup takes me twenty minutes.

for just one eye.

san fransokyo

i've been bugging my parents to rent big hero six for a really long time.

it was worth it.

it was so worth it.

the animation is stunning.

i didn't cry once during schindler's list.

i shed a tear during two during occasions during big hero six.

tadAAASHI NOOOOO.

my heart broke so hard.

even more than when i got rejected by this guy i'd had feelings for for three years.

nap time

yesterday, when i got home, i felt tired as all hell.

i'm not sure why.

i hadn't been doing anything to strenuous lately.

but i got home and laid down on the carpet after changing clothes.

i started to knock out.

after ten minutes of drifting back and forth into sleep, i gave in.

i climbed into bed, pulled the covers up, and fell asleep.

it felt so good.

i completely understand garfield now.

puella magi madoka musica

music is not life.

however, it is pretty damn close.

last night, bae told me about a band called marian hill.

i searched them up and listened to all their songs.

i think i'm a little in love.

one time has got to be my favourite.

got it is a near second.

but all their other songs are just as fantastic.

i'm no longer or ever regretting that google play all access music thing i bought.

green with envy

i'm wearing green.

i like the colour to begin with.

my favourite colour, now and forevermore, is green.

i like st patrick's day because it gives me an excuse to wear green.

 not overwhelmingly green, though.

even i have my limits.

but i like green, and all sorts of it.

mint, obsidian, grass, lime, aqua, whatever.

just not dirty, jaunt, brown-green.

just.

ew.

no.

robotics

i don't know what i wanna do for next year.

the programming team sounds interesting.

but also.

no.

and then there's that one team with the people stuff and public affairs.

which is not as intensive as programming.

however.

people.

it includes people skills.

talking to people, meeting with people, calling up people, finding people, just.

people-ing in general.

it's not my thing.

so.

i don't know what i wanna do for next year.

rivals

team 330 can suck it.

i'm so jelly of them.

they must be rich to have that kind of funding.

they had custom parts.

what the ever living hell.

it was so beautiful.

it moved so smoothly.

it can carry three trash cans at a time.

 and their captain is so pretty.

logarithms

when i left precal, i never looked back.

i didn't want to.

(second semester, starting polar graphs?

oh hell no.)

but, alas, fate doesn't want me to leave it far, far behind.

i need to take the precal test for mesa in the city finals.

which, i've been told, they're going to make harder.

especially for the test takers.

hahahahahahjajSHGdagfHGJHGFKHGJHG JGFjhgJHG JHGF

no.

unicorns

my hands are sore.

i've gone on another jewelry binge.

i spent a lot of time last night cutting out the unicorn silhouettes on my earrings.

and there was a long hour of self-hatred and disappointment as i realised that gold leafing is not as easy as it looks.

but i finally ended up with a version i sort of like.

(rainbows for the win.)

i made another pair of hook earrings because i couldn't find my first pair.

that was my least favourite part.

so it looks pretty crappy.

but i finished it.

that's what makes me proud most.

decisions, decisions

i bought a google play gift card for myself yesterday.

i gave into an impulse and got three months of the google play music thing.

it's been fabulous.

i feel like i should be ashamed.

but i'm having way too much fun finding out what else is my taste.

surprise.

my taste now includes rap infused r&b .

no ragrets.

(yes, i meant to spell it that way.)

twenty dollars in my pocket

i went to a thrift store with mi amor on wednesday.

there were so many options for a girl on a ten dollar budget.

there was, in particular, this plastic, see-through skirt with flowers on it.

it was only seven dollars and fifty cents.

alas, then i found the white dress i'm wearing today.

it was a love story like no other.

and

the dress was only seven bucks.

net neutrality

congress passed the acts, apparently.

i, for one, am not amused.

this is the start to a heavily controlled, sterile internet.

you know, like the ones you see in futuristic dystopian movies?

we need to have the freedom of speech on the internet too.

this whole "rights of man" thing just isn't gonna work in the 21th century without it.

we need the ability to say what we wanna say.

good or bad.

and yes there is, admittedly, a lot of bad.

(ay there's the rub)

but there is that good.

that good that needs to spread.

the net neutrality acts are unconstitutional.

so let's get rid of it.

lipstick stains

like always, i was late today.

however, i contest, for it was due to a good and well cause!

lipstick.

i made a quick trip to cvs before going to the bus stop.

milani is a brand i've never tried, but this lip stain gloss of theirs?

too cute.

the sale made it all the better.

i got a sweet tube of lip gloss too.

somebody

i'm pissed off at someone in this class.

i don't know what happened.

i want him to talk to me.

so that i can scream at him.

i'm very upset.

breath practices won't do anything to make me feel calm about this.

i don't know what happened.

i don't deal well with my feelings.

later than my mother in the winter of '97

i got to school at 9:50 today and only got to work for ten minutes.

but i'm alright with that.

i already finished the assignment on friday.

so i don't really have anything to rush to class for.

i didn't really even wanna go to school at all though.

my mom was trying to get me to go to carson with her to see my sister and eat filipino fried chicken.

it would've been so wonderful.

but i'm finally starting to do well in my other classes.

so i sacrificed my mother's offer of a free pass.
