Life0316

Well, I'm back.
...
Sort of.
I felt an obligation to this blog to write this special day because..
Well..
If any of you remember, it's been a year since i first asked out ______.
And, i can honestly say. It's over now.
There isn't any hope for any of us. We've both changed a lot.
I'm not sure how i've changed. But she sure has.
It's visible to anyone who has seen her at school.
And i now recognize. It really is better off this way.
If i had continued i would've been led the same path as her most likely.
And i'm glad what happened happened.
I just wish i could be friends with her again so i can show her that she's going down a wrong path.
A friend doesn't let a friend make wrong decisions even if it causes them to hate them right?
I'm now noticing that the relationship had become dysfunctional as soon as i felt that i couldn't live without this girl.
That is very well not true.
Life goes on and on and people aren't always necessary.
From now on, i'll continue to live my own life.
My own story. In which, i will choose who will and will not be part of.
From now on, the purpose of this blog, 167measurements.
Is now just to help me view my own mistakes such as the one i had been living in the shadow of for so long.
So..
From this day forward..

IDGAF about you SHAYNA GARCIA.

NewYear2009

Ack.
Sorry! Oh so very much.
So much has happened!
And i've been much too lazy to really get on the computer that much.
Some complications here and there.
Basically, i'm grounded.
Anyways.
Let's get this thing started up and running again shall we?

So, it's finally the new year!
Yayy!
My family had our annual new year's party.
I've noticed, each year, less and less relatives come...
It's sad really.
I miss the noise it would be.
This year, i never really felt that much holiday joy.
It's okay though.
All i have to do is hope for the best this year.

Attheparty:
I got to the party later than everyone else.
Mainly because i was kept in my house as punishment.
There was some pretty good food.
Too bad there wasn't any chicken. I love chicken.
There wasn't any chicken because it means that our lives will not change in the new year.
Instead, we had fish. Which meant forward motion in the new year.
We played some guitar hero 3.
Man, i wanted to play my older brother's rockband but he didn't want to bring his xbox360 over.
I watched some south park and messed with my cousin's "boyfriend".
I had a resolve for the end of the year.
To beat _______ at posting a happy new years bulletin.
Too bad i failed.
I had like 5 drinks of red wine mixed with coke.
It was tasty. I didn't even feel a least bit slow.
But i felt happier.
Then we stayed up till 4 doing karaoke.
My cousin got hit in the eye with a popper.
How sad.
Anyways...

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!
IT'S FINALLY HERE!
2k9!!!

Christmas2008

Well, i woke up at 11 am.
Wow.
I didn't think i would be sleeping that long even though i fell asleep on 3.
Anyways, i went down to my grandma's place where everyone gathered and started opening gifts.
I noticed i didn't get that many gifts this year.
It doesn't really matter.
I don't really need them.
But i am thankful for what i got.
Basically, i got some gift cards and money.
I still kind of wish i got toys.
Maybe i'll get some more when its new year.
I usually do.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Life1224

ALRIGHT!
It's Christmas Eve!
Ahh. I love the holidays.
Let me explain what had happened.
How i got grounded.
And how i got out of it.
Okay, i won't exactly tell you what happened, that's my business.
All you need to know is that i got in big trouble.
My punishment was no computer for the rest of vacation and i had to sit on my computer chair without getting up or doing anything for who knows how long.
I ended up sitting there for more than 12 hours.
I feel like i accomplished something, but that's not true.
All i did was sit.
Heh.
How i got out of it?
Well, i just kind of decided to end it on my own.
That's that.
Well, all i did today was stay at my cousin's place and use the computer until around 7 which was when the annual Christmas party starts.
All we did was eat, watch some t.v. and play cards.
Then we went back to our apartment for the meanwhile (it's next door to the party)
and did whatever.
Not much that i remember.
It was a good day though.
It was cold.
Rainy.
Somehow, i ended up just talking about random stuff with my cousins.
Went to sleep around 3 am watching eagle eye.

Special1223

Notice:
Due to winter break i won't be able to update as frequently.
I'll do my best.

Memories1219

Last day of school.
Winter Break.
Quite a bittersweet day.
It was great and all seeing people giving and receiving presents.
Except one person.
______.
I somewhat knew she wouldn't accept my gift but it was just really uncalled for when she offered it to her friend Dandelion, which is how i knew. She told me.
This is the one and only time i ever got truly mad about her.
If she still thinks that i'm still hung up about our break up then she's just being completely self-centered.
The reason i gave her that present is to show that i still care but i just want to be friends.
I also realize that she likes someone else now.
I don't know who.
I'll find out someway.
Another interesting thing happened today. GolfBuddy1 came up to me and asked me if i wanted him to stay away from ______.
I asked: Why?
He told me that it was because he liked her and didn't want to get that between our friendship.
But, because he said that really made a good impression on me.
I pretty much have no chance whatsoever with ______ anymore. At least i should let someone else feel how i had.
So i told him to go for it.
He still was hesitant and didn't want to get in between what me and ______ had before.
But it's gone.
At least until i become her friend again.
That's all i want from her right now.
I have a feeling GolfBuddy1 is going to be a really good friend of mine.
Just letting you know. He's one of the other people who joined the golf team this year.
Let me tell you about the time..

It was that great day of 8th grade.
Grad Night. The night we would all leave to go to Six Flags as a class of 2012.

(continued later.)

Salt and Vinegar chips were great.

After all formailties, we started to have some fun on the playground.
First off, we tried those thingys where you talk and then you can hear it in another thing like it on the other side.
Then, we were sliding down poles like.. yeah..
We also played Chicken on these stumps on the floor.
Haha.
We just had fun playing in general.
Then we started taking videos and pictures of the school.
We messed with some of the kids.
Mean huh? Oh well.
After the event was over, i went home.
I noticed that my wrist was hurting.
I covered it with bandages.
And went to sleep.
I barely got any.

Life1217

Okay.
Sorry about that last post.
I'm still really busy.
I'm in the middle of doing and english essay that is due tomorrow.
I haven't even started.
Plus, it's cold. 40s. And it's raining a lot.
I am now sick. Ugh.

In the morning, Dandelion took Tima's Taylor Launter magnet.
She saw it when i opened her locker and took it back.
Dandelion got mad at me.

The table was moved!
Crap! The shadows are all off.
Only 1 more class left to do the project.

We watched this japanese movie with racoons that shape shift.
I always forget what it's called.
It was fun.

She yelled at me for complaining about the sharpie smell.

Lunch:
I made some instant yakisoba.
Yummy.
Dandelion took some.

Period6:
Indoor P.E.
______ looked like she was having a lot of fun.
She was talking to the MayoragaBros.

I miss her.
Ugh. I'm so frustrated with my life.

Period7:
Socratic Seminar on Night.
Ms.Levine seems to be getting stricter.

We then talked with Dust and Timmy in the Attendance office for a while and headed to McDonalds.
We ate and talked to this kid.
Went back.
Went home.
Wet and Cold.
Ugh.
Long day.
I hated it.

Life1216

AH. SORRY.
I was out the whole day again.
I've been really busy.
I'll make this quick and simple.
I can't really detail it much.

Period1:
Biology test. I think i did good.

Nutrition:
Bleh.

Period3:
Usual. Fun.
Didn't do much.

We just went to Mcdonalds and had some McFlurries.
Yummy.

Athome:
Went home.
Played Touhou.
Went to Glendale.
Came back at 11.
Tired as hell.

Life1215

First thought:
Damn! It's cold. Yay.
Haha. Yes, i love winter just to let you know.
It's way better than hot sweaty summer and rainy but warm spring.
Fall is okay but here in California, it's still summer.
Not only was it cold this morning but it was raining like crazy.
Heh, rain in Japanese is 雨 (あめ) which is pronounced as "ah-meh".
And i know someone who has this as their middle name.
Oh yes. It's ______.

FREEZE

A little thing you should know about ______, is that she is half Japanese half Mexican.
Dad's Mexican, Mom's Japanese. Go figure.

UNFREEZE

That's one reason i like the rain.
Oh yeah, i didn't used to like it because all it was to me was weather that meant cold and wet everything. And puddles.
But, ______ loves the rain, has it has her middle name, and loves jumping in puddles.
1+1=2?
Anyways, here's how the rest of my day went.

Period1:
Well, i didn't know we were going to have a test tomorrow on Chapter 6. Crap.
We also watched this interesting Power Point of Rwanda. It was really sad and the lecture our teacher gave us was somewhat.. strange but i empathized.
Oh yeah, JoeyG also lent me his red fuzzy warm penguin jacket. $89. Dang.

Nutrition:
I ate Pocky and drank a Yoo-hoo. Yummy.

Period2:
Ugh, this drawing is taking way too long. Shoot me.
The spheres came out good so far.
I like spheres.
Way easier than cubes, cones, or cylinder.

Lunch:
I basically spent the whole time making my instant Yakisoba that i bought at Mitsuwa.
It was Yummy though.

Period4:
Uhh, not much really happened.
We were talking about how to handle conflicts and stuff.
We even watched a video.

Period6:
Indoor P.E.!
I played basketball.
Scared stiff when Jigga tried to drag me to where ______ was sitting.

Afterschool:
LAST CHINESE CLASS.
Well, we had our final.
It was pretty easy actually.
I also did good on the oral test part which i think i got a 38/40 on.
Not bad right?
After we finished our tests, me, Aldo, KuyaBrennan, and the LiowBros. went to Mcdonalds and i got a fillet o' fish that i finished in less than 5 seconds. I swear.
It only took 3 bites.
Then, we walked over to the school gym where our school's basketball team was having a home game. Both jv and varsity.
Me and Aldo left at 5:40.

I got home and i'm in the middle of studying for that same Biology test. Ugh. Shoot Me.

Life1214

Gone.
Parents Anniversary.
Update tomorrow.
Sorry.

Alright. Sorry about that everyone. It was my parents anniversary.
So yeah. Haha.
Basically, all i did was stay at my grandma's house
(which is downstairs)
and played/used the computer all day.
Nothing special really.
My mom was off doing some Christmas Shopping while my dad was working.
At one point my mom took me to Rite Aid and we bought a mess load of stuff.
Mainly chocolates.
For Presents.
Yep.
That's how that day went.
All there is to it.
Boring.

Life1213

Uh, well, i got home late.
Around 11:23.
Long day.
I'll post it up tomorrow.
Sorry.

Okay! Let's get this thing started.
Recap:

Woke up to go to my Saturday school again.
Just like usual. I felt i was forgetting something. But i let the feeling just pass.

Period1:
Not really fun as it usually is. Philippe wasn't there. There were only 2 Amigops.
Sad. I got the solo though! Yay. I guess.

Break:
Cup O' Noodles.

Period2:
I didn't even get to do my scene since the ones before it were taking too long.
Phew. I didn't memorize my lines and we were supposed to be off book.
Oh yeah! We also watched a bit of 300.

After:
My parents picked me and my brother up.
There were some stuff from Mitsuwa and some Bearded Papa's Cream Puffs!
I was tripping out!

FREEZE

For those of you who don't know what Bearded Papa's is, it's just about the best cream puff shop in the World! Or at least the best i've tasted so far. And i love cream puffs to the point of addiction.

UNFREEZE

I felt like something was up for sure. My parents were being too nice.
Wierd.
Anyways, they said it was their Anniversary tomorrow!
Oh Shit!
That's what i forgot. Anyways, so the plans for today were to go to Little Tokyo then go to Church, then Glendale Galleria. Today was going to be fun. I just hope my little brother doesn't ruin it for us like he always does.
So, we went to Little Tokyo mall and ate at this really good ramen shop.
I ordered the curry set with ramen. It was a lot. I finished it all.
After that, we went to play at the arcade and i got to play some DDR and Taiko!
I'm really good at Taiko. I think my dad took a video of me and my brother playing so i'll post that up one of these days..
Then, i went to Mitsuwa and bought a whole bunch of Japanese candy for presents!
Total: $32
After finishing all that and getting ready to leave, i was able to get some Milk Tea Boba!
My weakness. Haha.
We then went home and rested for a while and then got ready to leave again for church.
After, we went to Glendale Galleria!
My plans were to get the presents for:
Aldo.
Dandelion.
and
______.
So off i went to Forever21 and PacSun.
I was able to get Aldo this really funny but cool looking shirt from there. I'll give details about the presents later.
Total: $10
At Forever21, i got ______ and Dandelion some pants. Yellow and Magenta ones. I knew ______ was a size 24 and Dandelion was a 25 but all i could find were 25 for both. I'll just give them the gift reciept.
Total: $40
Overall Total for the Day: $82 spent out of $100 saved.
After more shopping for other presents which weren't for any of my friends we went to Acapulco to eat for my parents anniversary.
I ordered this new item that was a steak fajita with a shrimp enchilada.
It was really good.
Next, we went home and went to sleep.
It was a cold night.

Life1212

Okay!
Thank God it's Friday!
(Haha, that rhymed)
So, as you all may know, i didn't post on time yesterday due to parental complications.
But that's gone and it's a new day.

Period1:
Crap. I got there late and wasn't able to turn in my study guide homework.
So was Huntley and LilyBee. So, i made a plan to sneak ours into the pile of homework.
All i needed now was for Ms.Chung to turn away for a couple of seconds or leave the room.
At one point she finally did and, BAM! With a very fast heartbeat, i got our papers in.
Oh i'm good. Hehe.

Nutrition:
I made a very bad choice at the time. I decided to mess with Dandelion's Rubix cube by finishing it. I would regret it later.

Period3:
Well, we listened to this very interesting podcast called Learning Japanese with Beb & Alex
Heres a link to their podcast:
Learn Japanese with Beb and Alex
It's very funny.

Lunch:
Karma. I wasn't supposed to mess with the Rubix cube. Crap, bad decision. Dandelion got mad.
I "ran" away. I hung out with Francois. He's my new bathroom buddy.

Period5:
Mr.Wilson started moving lots of people around the class to new seats. Me and Hunter moved but we still sat together. Weird. Mr.Wilson said he had moved people who were noisy to sit with generally quiet people. Hunter and I are both loud. Apparently we work well together and actually get stuff done in class compared to before. Wierd. Well it's good enough for me.

Period6:
P.E. was pretty fun today. We had free play so yeah. I didn't do anything. I just like sat down and talked to Acceber the whole time. Lot's of random stuff. Especially something regarding Kenny and marshmallows. Haha. It was fun.

At home:
Well, i got home and we had bible study. By the way, i'm christian. The lesson today was really good but i won't discuss religion here. Besides that, i talked to Dandelion a bit. It was pretty cool. Some things cleared up between us and were better friends now. The rest is personal.

FREEZE

Okay, so i have this little plan. It's about Christmas presents. So, after talking to Dandelion for a while, i finally decided what i was going to get for her and ______! It's going to be some yellow and pink skinnies from Forever21 for them. I have this whole wierd dream in my head of how it would go. I doubt that's ever going to happen. I'm still not going to give up on ______. Despite how she treats me and how much she hates me (or seems like it). I'm stubborn that way.

UNFREEZE

That's all for today. Tomorrow, i probably won't be posting for a while because i have Saturday school and i'm going shopping. Christmas shopping! Then maybe to Dandelion's Bible study.

Life1211

UPDATE will be tomorrow. I'm grounded for the day. Sorry.

Okay. Let's get this over with.
By the way, sorry for the late post.
As i said, i was grounded for a day.
The reason why is because i got home late.

Period2:
Uh, well, i'm already gettin tired of the drawing. I wonder if it'll come out okay.

Nutrition:
Nothing really happened.

Period4:
Well, we had this huge discussions about emotions but nothing really funny happened.

Lunch:
Sadly, i don't remember.

FREEZE

As you can see, i'm really having trouble remembering yesterday. I apologize and i'll try not to let it happen again. Just bear with me here.

UNFREEZE

Period6:
We had a sub. I didn't do much. I didn't run either because i didn't bring my p.e. shoes.

Period7:
We read this speech by Elie Wiesel for the Nobel Peace Prize. I fell asleep in class.

Afterschool:
Oh yeah, by the way. I now know that ______ is being tutored for math. she's after school every Wednesday and Thursday for about an hour or so. At least that's what i know so far. Aldo and i then took a ride in GiantJew's car to TOGO's with this 6th grader, Timmy. He's pinoy. We ate and it was really expensive. We spent like 12 dolars just for 2 pastrami sandwiches. Then we went to Mcdonalds for a drink and made our way back to school. We talked with Timmy until his dad picked him up and we went to the pool and watched some of our friends race. Then, we ran with the LiowBros. back to Mcdonalds and back to school. Then, we just waited for a while until Aldo's parents picked us up and went home where i was then grounded.

The End.
Boring right?
Sorry for not putting it up yesterday. Truly. I'll make up for it.
