[ site stuff ]
I really need to post a lot more. I was thinking of making a new layout but whenever I have the time to do it, I get very lazy and unmotivated. I really need an idea for my new layout. But anyways, sorry for being a baaad webmaster. I haven't updated in like 2 weeks I think? And I haven't returned comments as well. SORRY. I promise I'll return them very soon! I don't know when though. I have this really huge English ISU due by Tuesday and I haven't even started yet. So I gotta work on that first. I know you're all understanding people. =] I hope.

[ May 9th ]
So on another note, today is me and Brandon's first month! It feels like we've been going out for like a year or so. But it's only been a month. Anyways, I don't really know what special thing we can do for this day. I'm obviously broke now because yesterday I bought food for me, Brandon, Zack and my cousin, Francis. And I bought candies and also this really cute stuffed animal/pillow on Zellers. So now, I only have $30 left from my $98 pay cheque (that is minus the $50 that I had to give my mom.. My paycheque was actually $148).

[ May 8th ]
Yesterday, my friends Zack and Brandon played the biggest, meanest and most cruel prank eveeer! Okay. So this is what happened, I invited them over to help me with my English ISU. Then I was in the living room, watching Fairly Odd Parents, minding my OWN business when suddenly, I heard Brandon yell, "Erikaaa!". So I was like, 'yeaaah whatever.' But then after 10 minutes, I decided to go check on them. (They were in my room doing Lord-knows-what.) I see Brandon on my bed and it seemed like something was wrong. I approached him and I was like, "What's wrong?" He was crying. I went over him and his face was all red and everthing. Then he goes, "Zack jumped off the balcony." I started freaking out. I was like, "That's not funny Brandon." I started pacing in my room, my heart was thumping really hard. I didn't wanna go out my balcony and look down because I was scared of what I might see. Brandon just kept on crying. My legs went numb and I was REALLY scared. But then I heard rustling noises under the bed so I looked under and found Zack there. -.- What asses eh? But I'm just glad he's okaaaay.

[ May 7th ]
Anyway, 2 days ago, I played in this huge music concert. There was like over 400 students who played. I was in the Guitar Orchestra and I really felt I played so shitty compared to the other people. I most especially loved the Jazz band. I'm personally a fan of jazz and I would love to be able to play in a jazz band. The concert bands and the choirs did so well too. I was really surprised because the intermediate band/choir were playing/singing grade 3.5 or 4 types of music. Usually, intermediate ones only play grade 2.5 - 3. But oh well. They're soooo talented. T_T

Haha sorry for the looong entry. I promise I will return comments SOON!


What Is the World Coming To?

Erika has spoken on 04/22/07-12:53pm |

I think all (or most) of you has heard of the Virginia Tech Massacre. If not, well there's this 23-year-old guy of South Korean descent, named Cho, who killed 33 people in his school (Virginia, USA), including himself. He was a troubled kid in school. He was classified as a "loner" and was always bullied in school. He always kept things to himself. Even the people he's lived with barely know anything about him. He wrote dark disturbing poems and stories. So anyways, before going on with his killings, he sent a videotape to NBC which contained pictures of himself posing on the camera holding guns or knives and videos of him ranting about life and spoiled, rich and snobby kids.

I know it was a totally wrong and immoral thing to do but I don't hate Cho. He must have his own motives. Things like this would never happen if people aren't so messed up. I believe Cho went through a lot of hardships and no one really acknowledged him so he just kept all his hatred bottled up. Anyways, I was watching videos on Youtube and there were tons of racism posts about asians. And being an asian myself, I was deeply offended. I can't believe how shallow people can be and just judge a whole race just because of one person. That's freakin retarded.

What about you? I wanna hear what you think about this.


Still Alive and Orgasmically Hyper

Erika has spoken on 04/18/07-08:53pm |

Wow. O_O Its been almost a month since my last entry! This will probably be a long one. You don't have to read everything though but of course, you're more than welcome to. So first of all, we did the talent show and we freakin' ROCKED it! Please watch us! I'm the only girl in the video by the way. And I'm wearing white. xD

Anyways, I'M SUUUPER HAPPY today! I was talking to my bf today (don't ask when I got a new boyfriend, I just did. And I effing love him.), and then he said he's gonna get his hair cut. But I ADORE his hair cuz its long-ish and he looks so good with it. So, I'm like, "Noooooo! Unless you're dyeing it black!" xD So then he asked his mom if he can dye his hair black [its naturally brown] and she said okay!! Brandon [the bf] said he's only dyeing his hair black because of ME! And I feel soooo-oh-oh special. Yaaay!~ But btw, I'm dyeing my bangs blonde by the way. Like, uber bleach blonde! Like that guy from AFI. lolz.

Ugh, okay, I'll end this now cuz my parents want me to get off the computer. Bye!


Incredibly Stupid

Erika has spoken on 03/25/07-dont know what time it is |

Yesterday, I did the most stupid, unexpected thing. I ran away from home. But don't worry, I'm totally fine. No one kidnapped me. Althought there was some guy who almost did. I won't say the details but anyway, I had a really bad fight with my family and stuff happened so I ran to my cousin's. But they weren't there and the my dad called there so I had no choice but to run to my friend who lives the closest, Adam.

At first, I was so scared to knock. But then I did. His brother opened the door. And he told me to come in. Then Adam sees me, and he's like hi. But I was crying. So we went to the living room and told him what happened, sobbing really badly of course. He was hugging me and everything though and it felt really comforting. After that, we went to my friend Sara and picked her up to go to Pizza Pizza where we spent a good hour talking. Then we went to Jay's and bought candies and pop. We went to Sara's after and played DDR and watched Holy Grail. Her mom said that I'm allowed to stay there for the night if I have to. But I don't know her family at all so I called my friend Luigi (who's supposedly mad at me) and asked if I can stay for the night. And he said yes. So Adam, Sara and her mom dropped me off there.

So apparently, everyone was looking for me. And my parents even called the cops. I feel so awful right now. I felt really upset yesterday but now I'm like upset AND scared of coming home since I'll definitely get hours of scolding and everything. Anyways, me and my friend didn't sleep at all. Maybe for only half an hour the most. We just watched TV and then got bored so we talked for hours then cooked breakfast (he made some for himself and I cooked for his family xD). Then we went up to his room and slept-ish. Like 2-minute sleeps. Then his mom wakes up and she tells us stuff about how some parents have a hard time showing their affection to their children... I really wish my friend's parents are mine. They're so nice and everything.

On a lighter note, we made the talent show guys! =D I have pictures too..




First Ever B-day Party I Enjoyed

Erika has spoken on 03/18/07-12:45pm |

Yesterday (well, a few hours ago) was my friend Mike's birthday party. I was going to come early to his house (like around 11:00) but I had to work with my cousin. So anyways, we didn't know what to get him so we were like, "Hmm, should we get him a hamster?" or whatever. So after painstaking hours of thinking we just thought of giving him a basket full of random stuff. So since me and my cousin work at a popcorn store, we decided to give him popcorn. Then we went to Bulk N' Barn and got tons of Hershey's Nuggets. Then I had to run to the dollar store to find a basket, wrapper and ribbons. Then as we were wrapping it, people were looking at us lol. But it was fun because the present turned out really pretty. And we were like, "OMG! We're so creative." Oh, and we also made a card that has a tiny coupon that says, "This card entitles you to one (1) free $20.00 (or less) meal anytime we go out to eat." (my cousin's idea) And also, my lame attempt to draw MC Sniper (Mike's favourite rapper.)

So we got to his house and it was frikkin huge and nice! O_O His room was so big and full of anime posters and his shelf was full of Korean books and stuff (which isn't surprising because he IS Korean). But it was so cool watching him and his family speak Korean because I only see it in Korean dramas and I was like, "OMGOD. I feel like I'm living a k-drama!!" Anyways, I didn't get to play DDR. T_T But ah well.. I did get to sing on the karaoke though. It was so fun. It was like the first time I actually talked to the people and everything. Because when I go to parties, I usually just sit somewhere and be all anti-social. I was also like the 'camera-girl' person there and I just took hundreds of pictures (literally) with Mike's oh-so-slim and pretty camera. I hated myself for forgetting our own damn camera so I can have my "own" pictures. But ah well. I did use up all of the memory in Mike's camera. LOLZ. I guess I'm just a cam-whore like that.

Oh and also, when me and my cousin we're going to eat, Mike's mom hand fed us the BBQ. I don't know if its tradition or whatever but I felt so shy. No one's ever hand fed me before and I was telling her that its okay and that I can do it myself but she insisted. =p

Anyways, I just loved his place and his whole family. <3
And cant forget about his cousin Andy too. He just came here from Korea 3 months ago and he can't speak English very much but he was so fun. He was teaching us Korean and I was like, "kung-eh-ha-sam-ni-dah??" (thats just random. I really can't remember what he taught me) lolz. It was hard.

But yeah, sorry for not posting. I'll return comments tomorrow!


March Break Madness!

Erika has spoken on 03/09/07-08:55pm |

I'm so tired from the concert yesterday but I'm somewhat happy. I'll tell you more in the rest of the entry. Anyway, I skipped my first period today. LOL. I can't believe it. I really never ever skip but today I just couldn't get up so I decided to sleep in and miss History class. =p Oh well, I guess its all good. My teacher didn't really say anything about it. I don't think he even remembered that I wasn't there for first period when I saw him afterschool to hand in my assignment... Nothing really much happened today. But it is the last day before March Break so yeah, everyone else is pretty much really excited. =] Oh yeah, after the anime club, my friend Adam drove us home. It was really funny because everyone was scared and one of my friends was like, "Ahh! I'm gonna go wear two seatbelts!" Brandon said that and he really did....wear two seatbelts. I don't know what's so scary about it though. But I did find it really odd seeing him behind the wheel driving instead of his mom. It looked really hard. But maybe someday I get my license too...which is in 7 months. xD Hopefully.

So the concert yesterday was fun as usual. I love school concerts. I don't think our Guitar Orchestra did awesome though. We have this one arrangement and its like a medley of Light My Fire and Riders on the Storm by the 60s and early 70s rock band, The Doors. And its such, such an awesome arrangement by our teacher but we kinda failed it at the concert. Frankly, I think I did really well. And some parts of it we're awesome. But the beginning AND ending of the song was just horribly played...and those are the most important parts of a song. I was kinda happy though because they called my name because I'm in the region's Guitar Orchestra and I got to stand up and be acknowledged. Yay! Anyway, our concert band on the other hand did really well. I loved our performance.

And of course, can't forget about the awesome food at Kelseys after the concert. I didn't enjoy going there though but I did enjoy the food a whole lot. ♥


Busy.. What else is new?

Erika has spoken on 03/06/07-02:42pm |

Aw boo. I'm so-oh-oh bored. Um, let's see.. This week is going to be busy. Maybe not too busy but still. In half an hour, I have Guitar Orchestra. Then afterwards, me and my friends have to run to my house and rehearse the marionette dance. The orchestra ends at 4:30 and I booked the room for 4:30-7:30. uh-oh.. We're gonna have to run really fast since we only have 3 hours to practice everything. *gulp* Afterwards, I have to finish an English essay so I have tomorrow to proof read and edit it. Tomorrow I have band class at lunch because there was no band last week because Mr. Brinson wasn't at school. So now you're taking half of my lunch too? And at night I have Honour Guitar rehearsal. And then thursday morning, I have Guitar sectionals. Nooo! I gotta wake up early.. I hate how I have Honour Guitar and Guitar Orchestra sectionals only once every other week. And they ALWAYS happen to be in the same week! So I get home around 9:00, sleep around 12:00 and wake up at 5:00. Oh geez. Very tiring. Oh, and I also have to stay for a while afterschool for sound check and everything because we have the March concert later at night! The good part is, we're going to Kelsey's after! Then I end my week with an Anime Club game day. = ] I'm just gonna go play tons of DDR even though I'm not as good as my friend Cassie or my cousin. I wish to be better sometime. I'm on standard already so if I just play a lot, I can do heavy mode in no time! Problem is, I don't have DDR at home. Booo.

Oh and I also have work on sunday. Boooo~ But yay for money! I don't get my paycheck yet though. Probably by next, next week. I don't even know if I'm working on March Break. Oooh. I hope I am. But then, we have to practice real hard for the talent show. The auditions are already after the march break! And we can only do the first song right now. :[ And there's 3 songs in the dance. Uh oh. Anyways, I made a mistake while working last week. The person ordered a mini bucket, which is $7, and he paid debit. But he didn't have enough money in it. And I didn't notice it until I re-checked the receipt! And I already gave it to the person! Noooo! Hopefully my boss doesn't notice or anything.

Well ah, I'm gonna end this now. Its too long. And I'm so cooold. Its March and the temperature is like -31C! WTF. LOL well cya! I have guitar orchestra now!


The REAL World

Erika has spoken on 03/02/07-11:25am |

Today's a Snow Day-ish day. There's barely anyone at school because the buses are cancelled and there's a lot of snow so people just didn't want to come to school. I didnt, but I had to. This entry will hopefully inspire anyone who's about to leave highschool.

So anyways, my English teacher was sharing her experiences when she went to University. Her stories were horrifying. I really don't want to leave highschool yet since I don't think I'm prepared for all the stress and things that will happen but after hearing her story, it made me realize that I'm SO far from being prepared. So many things happened to her that I never even thought of happening to me. She said that going to University will be a great experience but you will have a very hard time coping with everything, you will meet the wrong friends, be in the wrong cliques, your grades will drop and you will just be absolutely crushed. She even said that so many students commit suicide in their first year because they just can't handle it anymore. Your professors won't care about you or your grades unlike your teachers in highschool and stuff. Its such a scary thought.

In highschool, you are so sheltered. You have so many people who are there for you: your friends, family, teachers, counsellors, everyone! But when you go to University, you leave your family, you're gonna be so far away from your friends, you won't know anyone and the teachers treat you like crap. My English teacher shared that she asked help from her professor once with the lesson and she went, "I don't have time for idiots like you. You won't become a teacher." And then she approached her again and asked if she knows anyone who can help her and the teacher said, "If I don't have time for you, why would they?"

There's just gonna be so much stress. Everything is gonna pile up on you: homeworks, projects, tests and other problems. I don't think I would be able to handle that. The only people I depend on right now are my friends, but when I leave highschool, everyone will go on different paths and you will just be so, so alone. I don't want that to happen... Well that won't until after 3-4 years. But its still scary. I don't think I'll be strong and mature enough. I can't even handle my own parents and friends when they bitch at me. How can I handle things all on my own when I leave highschool? How can you?

I wanna share this really funny thing I saw on a commercial once. So, this guy was doing his big test thingy. But he finished late. So when he hands it in, the professor wont accept it. And he went, "do you know who I am?" and the teacher said he has no idea. So he smiled and said "good". Takes his test paper and puts it in the middle of the pile. Clever eh?


New World Order

Erika has spoken on 02/28/07-02:50pm |

Yay I finally have the time to type an entry. = ] Anyways, I'm in my Media Arts class and we're doing some random project thing. Mine looked fine before but when I put my picture in it, it looked horrible lmao. Lookie!



Anyways, I'm going to Cassie's house afterschool to get to know each other. She's teaching me how to bake too. But chyah, I don't know what else to say... My friend's being mean. He told me to please go swallow a knife. T-T *runs to a corner and cries* Leave meh alone now. =[


Asian Dramas Gave Me Unrealistic Expectations About Life and Love

Erika has spoken on 02/21/07-11:48am |

So you might have noticed this "new" messed up layout. Grr.. I'm so mad because for some reason, its now working out as I wanted it to. I did do this layout on my computer first and I even tested it a couple of times and its working pretty fine. Its just whenever I upload the layout, the image becomes smaller. =[ I dont understand why. This never happened to me before. Is it probably because the file is too big or something? That happens on Photobucket but I didnt upload it there so it shouldn't be like this.
[EDIT] Nevermind. I think I fixed it already. Does it look okay on your computer? =/[/EDIT]

Anyway, today's a half day and my Career Studies teacher just let us go on the computer and do whatever we want. I think me and my friends are going to the mall later. My cousin's buying me ice cream ♥ ♥!!

Oh, I started to get hooked on this K-Drama called Goong (Princess Hours). My friend told me that its "really" good so I decided to watch it. I'm obsessed with it now... XD Me and my friend are arguing about who's better: Yul or Shin. And I personally think that Shin is so much, much hotter and he has an awfully cool mean/nice personality which I really love. ♥! Heehee~ I finally found a site where to download the episodes because they don't have everything on Youtube. =] Can't wait to get home and watch the episodes! *squeal*

[SITE STUFF] Works and Credits page are still under construction. I'll try to finish them by the weekend. I'll return comments laterrrr. Ciao!

Happy Snowy Hearts Day!

Erika has spoken on 02/17/07-12:21am |

Aw man, sorry I didnt post earlier. This will be a long post btw. Happy Hearts Day to everyone! ♥

It was so depressing because it was a Snow Day on Valentines Day. I randomly just woke up to the voices of my siblings then I heard in the news say that the schools in Peel Board Region is cancelled. And I was like, "Nooooo!" I bought chocolates cuz I wanted to give them out to people. But it was a stupid snow day. So I had to spend the day at home, doing random pointless stuff on the computer and sleep for like 15 hours. I just gave out the chocolates the next day. And I got Kisses from An and Lillian and a cupcake from Cassie [which she made herself] Thanks!

I got my Matchmaker print out too! It was for $2.00 and I didnt even like the people who were in it, so it was kinda a waste. But its alright, you just get curious who's on your list so you buy it anyways. My top match is Tyler, who was some guy in my Computer Science class last sem. Meh, I didnt get the person I wanted. But ah well, what can you do? =p

Oh and while we were walking home, me and my friend Skye, thought it would be a good idea to walk through the tunnel since its crazy chilly [-20 C.. or lower]. My other friends didnt think it was such a great idea so they told us to meet at the other end of the tunnel. So me and Skye walked in. It was okay at first. Then the ice started to get slushie-er.. Then at the point where we turn, the ice was like almost water now. Then the ice broke, our shoes were on the icy cold water. We just kept walking thinking we would somehow reach solid ice. But we didnt. NOW my feet were awfully cold. I couldnt literally feel them anymore. I pleaded Skye to go back. So we did. I was almost running cuz it really hurts [soo much]. When we got out of the tunnel, the bottom 4-5 inches of my pants were literally frozen [yes, hard as ice] and so were my shoes. Imagine how my feet felt? lol.

Yesterday, I was having the worst day possible. Then my parents made it worse. My mom and dad slapped me [dont ask]. And they said that my white friends are a bad influence and that if I'm gonna be rude to them and stuff, I should just move out and live with them. Gr, they dont understand. They're so racist. Maybe THEY should have some white friends so they'll know! I was crying for hours. And then I woke up early and walked to school instead of getting a ride because I didn't want to talk to my dad or my mom. When I got to school, my friends asked what was wrong so I told them and I started crying. Ugh... I couldnt even do my homework so I asked my English teacher if I could hand in the assignment on Monday. She was nice enough and said yes.

We went to the mall today afterschool. It was fun-ish. My cousin grabbed us some free drinks from Manchu Wok [his work place] and got us discounted foods. I feel kinda bad though. Someone might tell the manager about it and there goes his pay check. He also got me free Bubble Tease. Its amazing how he knows so many people working at the mall that they give us free food. Anyways, I should be returning comments now. I was lazy. I'm sorry. ♥


Le Exhausted

Erika has spoken on 02/07/07-11:54pm |

Oh gosh. This is just the first week of the second semester and I'm already so busy. Yesterday, I had Guitar Orchestra rehearsal afterschool. Then today, I had an Honour Guitar Orchestra rehearsal from 7:00-8:30 PM! AND tomorrow morning at 7:30, I have to do a sectional thing for Guitar Orchestra [again] PLUS, Band rehearsal afterschool too! Goshh.. I'm so exhausted already.. But its alright. I love music and I'm committed to all these bands I'm in. XD

Second semester sucks by the way! All my classes are effing boring. Gosh. I have History for first period. And I know no one in that class. So I'm the little lonely emo girl. Second period I have Media Arts, Brandon's in the class with me so it's alright. But the TEACHER! She drives me crazy! She's so odd. And whenever she writes something on the board, she reads everything word by word! *scribbles* The *scribbles* rule *scribbles* of *scribbles* thirds.....and so on. Next period I have Career Studies. My teacher is like some English guy and he has the whole english accent and everything. I don't talk to anyone in that class either. The other day, he embarassed me in front of the class! I was late and I just quietly walked to my seat cuz he was on the phone. Then he went and was like, "Young lady, why were you late?" So I told him that my last class was from the portables (which is outside the school building) but he was all weird and told me that I should have good manners and apologize. So I said sorry. And he was like, "whats the sorry for?" and I went, "for being late and for not apologizing..." Then he made me stand for a couple of minutes and finally let me sit down. I was a little teary there. I hate it when people look at me. He kinda apologized a bit though after. He said he didn't mean to embarass me. I have lunch after, which is so boring cuz everyone else have a different lunch period. And last, I have English, which is outside. Damn. Its freezing cold outside and we have to walk all the way there. I'm glad Kyle is there with me though. If he wasnt, I'm gonna be stuck with all those french immersion people again. Seriously, I hate how I'm always with the french immersion people in my classes. I CANT EVEN SAY ANYTHING IN FRENCH!

I've been a bit depressed lately by the way. I'm just really confused with myself. Ugh.. I don't even know if I should share it. Maybe I will on the next blog entry. For now, I need to sleep cuz I have to wake up early tomorrow for sectional practices! Oyasumi nasai!


School and The Coldest Day of my Life

Erika has spoken on 02/03/07-09:56pm |

I have so much to blog about. Gosh... If you're gonna take the time and read all of it, then cool! I'm flattered. If not, thats fine. I dont expect someone to read something this much.

So lets start off with school. We got to see our formal exams yesterday. And I had only had one, which is Science. I got an 89% on it. It kinda makes me feel bad though. Cuz its like one point close to 90 and I didnt even make it. =[ Sigh.. But its alright. I'm getting high marks on my other subjects anyway. Just wish me good luck on the new semester. Speaking of the new semester, I met the new girl Kyett. I showed her around and stuff. She was shy and didnt want to meet my friends but it's all good. Not a big deal. Maybe she won't be too shy anymore sometime.

Marionette Dance update. Our latest rehearsal was horrible. God, everyone was being sooo annoying and I just wanted to get out and have a tantrum. But I didn't want to cause a scene or whatever so I stayed quiet and kept my cool. This friend of mine Kyle went you see and he brought his friend Noah. Noah just kept on distracting the people and I found it really annoying. But I dont blame it all on him though. If the people were really willing to cooperate, they wouldn't let him distract them. And besides, they just kept on talkin while me, Francis and Kyle kept on practicing our parts. So, we've decided that we're not gonna practice and the Rec room anymore because they abuse the privacy and stuff. And besides, I'm getting in trouble cause of it too. Cuz the security guards comes down and checks on us and always finds us slacking off. I don't want that to happen again.

Oh yeah, my friend messaged me on msn a while ago to call him. I dialed his cellphone and some lady picked up [probably his mom]. I got scared and hung up. Grrr.. I dont know whats happening to me. I do that more usually now. And no, I'm not scared of his mom. I used to come over to his house a lot in the summer and she was really nice. But I just don't know why I'm scared of people anymore. Hormones probably? Or maybe I really do have a personality disorder.

Anyways on some other note, I went with our Outdoor Education Club today on a snow hike. It was kinda horrible cuz my girl friends I invited to come with me couldn't cuz they forgot to hand in their sheets so I was stuck with my brother, two of my guy friends and all their friends [who are guys]. I felt so left out. I didn't even talk for the whole time. And Mark was saying how I'm so quiet today and I just went, "Well.. I have nothing to say." It was so cold too! And we had to wear stupid snow shoes. They were big and long and really awkward to walk with. I tripped all the time and it was loose so I had to ask the teachers to give me a hand. Then I was left behind and had to walk and follow the path on my own. I couldnt even feel my feet. And lunch time was FREEZING COLD! Our bonfire was kinda small and weak so we didnt have that much heat. We heated our lunch [even burnt them], but they got cold in the next few seconds. The droplets of water from the pan became icicles too in less than a minute. It was crazy chilly. And the wind was just unbearable. And the smoke from the bonfire kept on getting in my eye. =[ I'm never going snow hiking again. I like hiking honestly, but this weather? Nuh-uh!


Some Fun

Erika has spoken on 01/27/07-11:48am |

Okay so I'm finally done my Science Formal Exam. It wasn't that hard but I just wished that we get more time because I write AND think slow. Sometimes I even find myself using the calculator for no reason. [I've become too dependent on it.] Even when I get something like 2+2, I still grab my calculator and use it to answer that. HAHA. Its weird and retarded. Anyway, I have a 6-day break since I have no exams left to do. We're getting our new timetable and see our marks on our exams on Friday though. Oh and I'm meeting this girl I met on Friendster who's pretty new in our school so I'll be giving her some tours or whatever [just cuz I'm nice like that. LOL.]

On Thursday, my friends came over because we're practicing for our Marionette Dance again. Brandon was the one who came first and no one was home when he did so he was too scared to go up to our condo cuz my dad might get home any minute and find only the two of us there. But I told him that its alright as long as we kinda distance away from each other and just be nice to my dad. And yeah, he didn't get mad or anything. XD When everyone got there, we played a little Battle Front first before practicing. I brought my cam to record the rehearsal. I even made a video. I will try to upload it on Youtube. So you guys can see. We're so retarded. Hehee~ [EDIT: I finished the video! Watch it please!]

We're going toboganning any minute now so I'm so, so excited. XD Then we're going to Wal-mart to I unno, its like a grand opening so theres lots of cheap stuff! Yay!


Futures and Aspirations

Erika has spoken on 01/24/07-4:11am |

Some of my teachers showed us our marks. I'm happy to say that I have the highest marks in two of my classes: Computer Science, which is a 96% [well, what else can you expect from a computer junkie?] and Instrumental Band, which is a 98% [then again, what can you expect from a band geek?]. I kinda expected my Computer Science mark to be high though and for Band too [my band teacher gives high marks]. But I didn't expect to be the highest since there's lots of better players than me. This girl in my class is like the most musically-inclined person I've ever met. She's so good in playing and stuff so I expected her to get the highest...and I forgot to mention that she's unbelievably smart too. Anyways, I guess I should just be happy with it. I was just so surprised though. My band teacher, Mr. Brinson, was like, "Are you okay?". LMAO.

Anyways, I walked in to first period today and my Homeroom/Computer Science teacher told me that I might be interested in going to OCAD [Ontario College of Art & Design] when I graduate highschool. I checked their website and their Graphic Design Program. OCAD seems pretty competitive though [according to my cousin]. She says I have to start my portfolio now or early when I'm in grade 11 cuz its really hard to get in. My friend is kinda upset though when I told him that I'm considering to go there. We had this little agreement you see that me and 2 of my other friends (Zack & Kyle) are going to the same College, which is Seneca. Then I told him about how I'm considering OCAD and he's like 'DITCHER.' Wth... of course I have to consider some other schools cuz what if I don't get accepted to Seneca? I should have back ups. By the way, anyone who's majoring in Graphic Art right now, help me make a portfolio? Like, how do I make one and what do I make it of? Ideas, tips or anything, would be so much help.

Also, me and Zack we're having this arguement about books. He says that in the next few years, people won't be reading books anymore. And being the bookworm-ish person I am, I defended my opinion. Anyways, what do YOU think? Will people still be reading books in the next 10 or 20 years? Will you?


Mortified.

Erika has spoken on 01/23/07-9:42am |

Yesterday, I slept around 5:00 afterschool cuz I'm always so tired during that time. Anyways, I had the most mortifying and DISGUSTING dream ever! And no, its not about sex or whatever you guys are thinking (probably just a little close to it). But STILL! I don't even want to say it really. I'll just keep it to myself. The dream is kinda like incest but its not. I don't even know what its called. Ahhh! the horror.

Anyway, today as I was walking to class (almost late again..), I bumped in to my friend Adam. And he says that he's interested in doing the Marionette Break Dance thing with us! Weee~ We get more people. LMAO. I think it'd be hard to have a lot of people but its gonna me so much fun. And Adam isn't really the kind of person who'll be a pain in the ass. He's so nice... I <3 him so so so muchhhooo. Well, I love ALL my friends actually. *gives biiig hug*

Haha I'm at school today again. I really don't have time to blog and return comments at home because I only get an hour or so on the computer every weekdays. Its part of my parents rule to keep our marks high. But geez, even though we only get an hour on the computer, our marks dont even drop or anything. Heck, we don't even study. Its kinda pointless actually. And yeah for the people who's wondering, people here don't really blog or anything. HAHA. My friend says he should start doing so. I think its awesome to blog cuz I can blab about anything I want no matter how pointless or stupid it is. But yeah, I will end this now. Classes will end in 4 minutes! Bye! I'll return comments tonight since I don't even have to come to school tomorrow. But maybe I still will.....lets just see what happens. Bai bai!


Almost Over

OFFLINE
We went tobogganning (sledding) this Saturday. It was by far the most exciting thingi've ever did this season. I've always hated winter because of the extreme weather but when we went tobogganning, I almost didn't feel the cold wind chills at all. By the way, that was my first time ever doing it since I was always too scared to go outside. I wanted to go snowboarding though but they're really expensive. I'll just work really hard this summer and save up to buy: an electric/bass guitar (i would love to buy a Custom Les Paul Elitist ($1600), amplifier, 10.0px Canon Digital Camera ($1000), Razr($200ish), PS3 ($650), Hot Topic clothes, MCR band merch (ranging from ($4-40), Custom West 49 skateboard and a snowboard of course for next winter.

Anyway, I saw the video for 30 Second To Mar's From Yesterday. The video was shot in Japan. It was a little weird though cause I didn't understand the plot but I loved it anyway. I loved Jared's hair most of all. Plus his voice was sooo nice.

Oh by the way, I was playing Maplestory yesterday, and there's this quest where you can get a free random haircut. So I did the quest and got it. I didn't like it very much. It didn't look too good on my character but I guess its okay. At least my character doesn't have that default hair anymore. LOL.

I'm at school again by the way. Our exams for Computer Science is over so I guess we're kinda allowed to do anything we want for the period. My friend Kyle (who is sitting right next to me) is working on this game he's doing on Visual Basic. I honestly like it. I probably won't have the patience to work on a game of my own.

ONLINE
I'm thinking of installing CuteNews on my website cuz I've seen lots of websites with it and I think my site would look more organized. I've never done PHP before though. lol. If I have any troubles, I'll ask you guys for help. =] I'll return comments now. Ja!


Computer Science Exam Down!

Erika has spoken on 01/19/07-9:45am |

I'm at school today. I just finished my Computer Science exam. It went okay. It was about HTML, Javascript, Computer-related careers and Visual Basic. I didn't have any hard time except for those questions asking me what interpreter and compilers do. I just chose some random answer I could think of LOL. I hope I did good. I honestly did not study at all since I forgot my duotang in my locker. If I don't get at least a 96, my mark will go down. Gosh, its so hard to maintain your mark when you're getting a high one.

Anyways, I have my Science (physics & weather) in-class exam next period. I know it will be hard. I do not understand how to interpret weather maps. Gggrrr.. =[ Yesterday we had the first part of the Science exam. I think it was pretty easy. But I'm having doubts coz people had different answers so I'm not too confident with mine any longer. Wish me luck okay? Bye!
