It's about 2:33 am as I'm typing this and my golly, I should be sleeping by now. I know I have been up way too much and knowing that I've developed baggy eyes, I might as well turn out to look miserable for my senior photos. Bleh, I think that I'm really nocturnal afterall.
The opening ceremony for the Olympics started at 7 pm and it turned out great! I was really impressed with the effort China has given to put all of this together. From the fabulous performance to the torch ceremony has brought China to a higher level than I thought. I mean, the new stadium, which is known to be a shape of a bird's nest took a couple of years to build. Its structure flipped me out in a good way. A stadium like that will last for ages I bet. Everything was beautifully built and well done. I'm excited for what's next for this year's Olympics. I saw the one about Handball at the NBC Olympics website, where it shows everything from the Olympics on live. I only watched half an hour of Handball (I forgot who played against who since I wasn't looking at it carefully). I'll be following up with other sports currently going on as soon as I wake up later during the day.
I got my letter from Fotorama regarding senior photos. My appointment is on the 23rd at 2 pm. On the same day, I'll be attending a novena at my aunt's place at Oxnard, an hr up north from LA. I'll have to see if I'll be able to get this through or reschedule. I'm not sure which package to choose for the portraits, but I have enough time to decide for that. I'm somewhat excited, yet I'm a little conscious when it comes to my smile. I know my teeth aren't perfectly aligned, but it's so ugly to look at. I was suppose to get braces by now, yet I still haven't got my 4 wisdom teeth pulled out. My parents are once again holding this back. Even if I constantly remind them, they'll keep saying "We'll talk about that later" or "Ask your papa about that." I'm going to bug them so they can finally let that sink in their mind. I need to think on what to wear on that day. Hm...
After 6 long months since the last time I spoke to this person, I finally messaged her. Well, this girl and I have been estranged from one another due to an incident that happened earlier this year. Today's her birthday and I decided to greet her since I still happen to remember. She was surprised that I messaged her right out of the blue. She even said it made her smile. That gave me a feeling of relief that there isn't any animosity between us. I never really did to begin with because I always thought she had something against me. Anyway, it was a short yet simple conversation that turned out alright. Hopefully we'll be able to talk again soon. Depends if things will fall into place with her and I again.
Just to let anyone know, once senior year strikes in I'll be busier than ever. Juggling my classes with (hopefully) the internship I applied for YDAPP is going to be tough. This is, in a way, a good opportunity to test myself to see if I'm ready enough to take such responsibilities as an adult. I can't keep continuing on doing the same habits that has to do with last minute work and all. I want to drop that and start from scratch. This can also help me prove to my parentals that I'm responsible enough to handle things on my own without any help. I mean I'll still ask for guidance from them and such, but things that have to do with myself only is another thing. My mother still thinks I'm immature, which in some ways I still am. I'm slowly growing step by step even if I am eighteen. It's not the age that determines how mature you are, but how you approach things, depending on what it is. I used to take things as a joke and act as if I didn't really care. Thing is, that took a huge effect on me. I've realized that if I continued to act like this later, I know I'm not going to gain anything good from it. At times I still feel like a 12 year old, always depending people for guidance when I should be trusting what both my mind and heart want. I can't have all the answers to everything right now. That's just impossible. Things like this seem to appear in my head every now and then.
I'm not worried over things as I used to and some of the weight on my shoulders disappeared one by one. I guess I don't focus on this unlike before where I'd have the same thoughts on repetition. I'm content that I stopped.
What's good to have right now is a book to read, especially at a time like this. I'm easily bored when it's 3 in the morning. Sure I go on the internet and read what's currently going on, but something to take my mind off from reality is a dosage I do need. I might read "The Giver" since that book is lying somewhere in my bedroom.
This weekend, I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen. My mom just told me that I'll be getting another haircut on Sunday, which I didn't mind. I desperate need one after how it presently looks. My bangs are uneven and my hair's length is a little too long. Just in time for senior photos, too.
I'd like to learn a few other languages, especially Japanese. I've always wanted to learn that, but haven't gotten around it yet. I'm not sure who to turn to for that though. Anyone would like to teach me? Haha, there are translation books out there that I can purchase. It'll be a great asset.
Who wants to be my lets-learn-how-to-speak-Japanese buddy? LMAO.
My eyes are getting droopy. I'll add a few other things at a later time.
