that's basically what everyone is freaking out about right now. yeeep, you know what I'm talking about and I haven't even said it yet. it's the infamous SWINE FLU! AH!! Take cover and actually wash your hands instead of leaving them as a tiny germ's playground. Because you know, there are a total of 350 cases worldwide! that's a pandemic if I ever heard one. So you know what that means? Everyone needs to start washing their hands and sneezing into their sleeves, as opposed to the normal into the air. Because, you know, everyone has the Swi--err, I mean H1N1 virus.
Look out! Only elbow-fives from now on...everyone is infected, don't you know?
5.2184338356694357e-8% of the estimated world population (as of July 2008) has been reported to have a confirmed case of the H1N1 virus!!!
that's .000000052184338356694357%, so we'd better freak out now. Don't let your time slip by, people! Take those extra steps out of your regular habit and actually wash your hands as a safety precaution, and remember to always throw away your tissues after you use them! We can't let this tragic pandemic ruin the lives of innocent people.
Don't let another day go by without dreaming of the effects of this menacing virus attacking your family!
Shut down ALL facilities. DO NOT, I repeat, do NOT let nature take its course. We, the humans, are at the top of the food chain, and therefore control all that happens in this world. We REFUSE to let this flu infect our lives; it's not a hiccup in life, this is a massive speed bump.
Don't let your family leave the house! We need to stay protected and remain healthy. Our plan of reverse psychology on the tiny virus has become a growing idea practiced now among the masses. What is this master plan?
Quarantine the healthy people!
Stay indoors. Don't go out. Shut down all pubic facilities.
Don't worry, friend, we'll make it out alive...but most likely, we won't.

I don't use this word very often, but this truly is...EPIC.
So, as many of you know, I am an aspiring musician. And as most of you probably don't know, my favorite band is Relient K. Ao naturally, I have a cover of one of their songs on my youtube page. It's the only cover of that song, and I was hoping they'd see it, but I didn't want to get too excited about it.
I got home to relax after a fairly quick week of school (hallelujah!) and got on youtube. I had 1 new comment! I looked at it, and it was on my cover of their song...the comment simply said:
"well done!
js"
so I'm sitting there thinking, who on earth is "js" and why on earth would they expect me to know who they are?! And then...it HIT ME. JS. Jon Schneck is a member of the band! So I started freaking out and looked at the youtube profile. IT WAS JON SCHNECK, GUITARIST OF MY FAVORITE BAND COMMENTING ON MY VIDEO!!
and on top of that, he's been a member of youtube since May 2006. That's a pretty long time. And within that time frame, he's only watched 962 videos. MINE was one of them!!!
:D
AND he commented on it! OHHH my goodness, it just partially completed my life!
ahhhhh...anyway, I hadn't written a blog in a while; I never really had reason to. But I dare say that is a CONSIDERABLE amount of excitement and highly worthy of a blog post. so there you have it.
also, I'm going to see them in the end of May, so if I happen to meet them (considered highly probable), I plan to tell them who I am! not that they'll necessarily remember, but I'm still doin it!
:D
peace.

"Some people want it all, but I don't..."
"want nothin' at all, if it ain't you baby, if I ain't got you baby..." - Alicia Keys
So how's daylight savings been treating you all? I noticed that in my last blog I said that spring forward would make it brighter in the mornings, but I quickly realized that it was quite the opposite when I woke up the day after we "sprung forward". haha...
Right now I'm watching one of my favorite shows, called, "Brothers & Sisters." I LOOOOVE this show! It's so hilarious. forrrreal. I saw Slumdog Millionaire for the second time tonight. I was a little surprised that it was still in theaters, but I was willing to see it again with my father, who had not seen it yet. It was still really good...a really great movie.
My mother had a jewelry party today and I invited a few of my friends. Some of them showed up and some of them didn't, but it was fun for the most part. There were delightful, delicious, and delovely french vanilla cupcakes and some fairly delectable lemon bars.
I'm really tired, and I need to read "The Things They Carried," written by Tim O'Brien, by Wednesday...heh-heh. That's a 250 page book...my future is looking...grim? eh.
I've been writing some new stuff for my future career and I completely finished one, with two others to add some music to.
Have you ever seen those Fidelity commercials? If not, I'll explain now. People are walking out of an investment company place thing and the broker person says, "alright, just follow the path..." then the customer sees this beautiful bright green line pops up...in this particular commercial, the male customer is walking away from the store when a car store catches his eye. He then steps off of the line and toward the window. Then, the broker lady says, "STAY ON THE LINE!"
hahaha...if only it were that easy. To have a company that could just have you follow a line in order to have success in the future.
Anyway, that was pretty darn pointless. I'm tired now, and I jut want to focus on the show now, so I'll go.
peace out.

"Oh, I stare at the phone..
...he still hasn't called..."
-Taylor Swift
So is it just me, or is the entire United States of America bummed out by the fact that it's daylight savings tonight and we must "spring forward"? GAHH. I'm a teenager. I don't get enough sleep as is, I don't need it to lose an hour of sleep just so it will be bright in the morning! Obviously I'm biased for the "fall back" part of the saying... :P
I can't wait for Spring Break! Wanna know why? Because I have absolutely ZERO planned!!! That's the first time since...7th grade? Maybe before that, I don't know...but a really really long time. :D
So I look forward to sitting home and doing absolutely NOTHING. staying up late for board game tourneys and then musical movie marathons that follow...ahhhh.
One thing I don't like about being so close with my older sister. First of all, there is something you should understand. She's my best friend, and we don't really fight as most would expect sisters to do...
now for the list of complaints:
1. I miss her and all the fun things she gets to do in college!
2. we're friends, but I can't legally participate in some of the activities that she takes part in because I'm too young.
3. her friends turned into some of my friends.
4. it really stinks having older friends because they don't have school everyday at the same time and have WAYYY more flexible schedules.
5. because they all have different schedules, I don't get to see any of them as much as I would prefer. :(
Anyway, I think you get the idea. It just really stinks that I can't ever seem to come up with a convenient time to hang out with that particular friend group because they hang out so late at night into the wee hours of the morning; now I'm allllll for staying up super duper late, I just actually have a school to go to 5 days a week at which I arrive at the same 7:25am every morning. gaaaahhhhhh.
Alright, enough complaining, I'll talk to you later!
peace.

"and the internet...
it still doesn't work..." - Relient K
Sorry it's been so long since an update, but my internet works as it pleases, thus causing me to actually utilize my internet time for the things that actually matter in life rather than dilly-dallying with blogs and whatnot. Nothing really exciting has happened to me lately, except for the first time since EVER I have an A in my AP U.S. History class!! Woop! woop! We'll see how long it last...but as I always say, it's better to be short-lived than not lived at all. haha...basically, once you fail, at least you were succeeding at one point in time. :) which is basically the disclaimer of a lifetime. it seriously covers everything.
So, yea, that's pretty much it. I'm really tired and I'm going to bed, but my mother keeps asking me to update my blog and I decided to take advantage of the ever-so cooperative (and short-lived) internet and write a quick blog just so you know I'm still alive. Because I know a whopping TWO people follow this blog, both of whom were just about ready to order the paramedics over to my house to make sure I'm breathing....it's okay, guys. I'm still here.
:)
until next time!
peace.

"Im' gonna...
start all over..."
-Miley Cyrus
I'm not a big Miley fan, but those were the only lyrics with the idea of a new start I could think of. hahaa...
I'm SO excited because tomorrow is a new start of the second semester of my junior year! I'm used to getting straight A's, but this year, I'm getting four B's and only two A's. Plus, the two A's are in my only non-AP/HP classes. :( So it is my GOAL to try and get at leeeeast half and half. I think I can possibly manage an A in Spanish and Math...but we'll see. The incentive for getting super outstanding grades this semester is...okay. well, every two years (every other year) there is an Ingathering of people who went to this church in the Philippines, and my dad and his family are some of those people. Now. Last time it was in Hawaii. :D This coming summer, it will be in Pennsylvania. If I get good grades (meaning better than this semester), then my aunts will pay my way there!
woohooooo!!!
Also, I'm really excited because my older sister is going to apply to study abroad at Oxford!!! ANd if that happens...that will DEFINITELY require some visiting time. So, I'm pretty sure my mom won't let me go if I ask her now, because we don't even know if she's going yet, but I'm fairly certain I'll end up going. Just because I'm super string-headed and stubborn. If I want something, I'll set my mind to it, and through the fire, hail, and any other extreme natural disaster, I'll get it done. I just won't take no for an answer. So, yea. I would have to say that if she ends up going, I'll be going to visit her. AND that means, layover in NEW YORK (most likely)!!! Any one of my aunts is moving to New York. So that would work out just fine, now don't ya think?
;)
So I guess that's how I end up making things happen. I present a well-thought out proposal to my parents and explain to them how and why it would be beneficial to myself AND them. It's worked out well so far...we'll see how this develops. haha...
And now I've forgotten anything else I was planning on telling "you". (I put you in quotations because I'm not entirely sure I really AM talking to anybody. haha!)
peace.

and a happy new year?
Okay, so it's SUUUPER late into the new year to be writing a blog saying "happy new year!"
woops.
It's approximately 3:58am as I am writing this. awesome. However, it is a three-day weekend. That extra day really makes all the difference. really. It makes me feel so much more relaxed, and it's almost like a mini-vacation. I watched "Made of Honor" with one of my friends tonight and around 11:30, and then another friend came over and we always watch musicals together, so we ended up watching "Beauty and the Beast" at about 1:25am. I found my entertainment in a Swiffer, and I decided that if someone were to put me in a room with just a Swiffer and padded walls, I'd be good to go for at least a week. They are SO fascinating. I ended up detaching the top two segments of the Swiffer and waved it around with authority repeating, "Swiffa Sabaaaa!" ahhhh...the joys of being loopy. Everything is funnier at 3 in the morning.
Next week is finals for me, and I'm only confident in my....let's see...band final? HA. That's not good. I have straight B's (except for band) which is highly unusual for me, but I'm beginning to accept it. However, I only have a B in Chemistry because my teacher loses papers and has me marked down for about six or seven missing assignments, all of which are then marked as F's. So really I have an A in there.
tonight I made half-plans to go to the snow with the two friends that were over tonight, on Monday. (My mother knows nothing of these schemes yet. mwahahahahaaaa.) "Half-plans," meaning we'll give it a shot but it's not really top priority. We really want to and would enjoy it, but won't be completely devastated if our plans fall through.
BUT, this means I have to do all my studying and homework tomorrow, which is really today. And I'm losing time by writing this. So I'm going to leave now. I'll let you know how everything works out, cool?
(of course it's cool, you have no other choice.)
peace.
