Half way...
I’ve made it through half of my senior year. It just hit me today that I only have a few months left. I can easily say that the first half wasn’t half as good as it could have been. So much stress, not enough sleep, too many people that do me no good. I’ve always been told that being an upperclassman is the fun part of high school, and maybe that’s true but...
Drowning....
Sandra Cisneros once said, “Writing is like putting your head under water”. I don’t exactly know what she meant by this but I’m going to interpret it as saying that writing is sometimes the only way in which we can muffle out the sounds of reality much like when we dive into a pool and everything becomes silent. That feeling you get when you’re floating on your...
3 down 98 to go
So today was a better day than the past ones. I feel accomplished, mainly because I got two things done off my list.
I was walking into rite aid there was a man outside asking for money so I went inside and got cash back for $20 and gave it to him. Then me and Ily went to the cemetery by the church so I could complete another item on my list. I bought a bouquet of flowers, i picked yellow...

Poem by me :)
If Ever You Need Me
In your moments of weakness
When there’s no will to fight
And every new morning
Is still dark as night
When tears won’t stop flowing
And your heart starts to break
When you’re tired of thinking
And you’re lying awake
I don’t care for the reason
Or the time it may be
If it’s two in the morning
You can still count on me
I’ll...
Because I think we need to listen to...

Sonnets
I had to write sonnets for English class so here they are….
I Love…
I love the way you hold me tight
Whenever we embrace
The sudden way my heart takes flight
Each time I see your face
I love the way you roll your eyes
And act like you don’t care
The way my sadness slowly dies
And the way you smooth my hair
I love the sound of your heart beating
And the way it matches...

Rainy Day
I usually love the rain, but today, it looks like my mood matches that of the weather outside. Nothing’s going right and it seems like all I can do is make it worse. I wish I could rewind to the days when rain meant playing princess. When my room became a locked tower and I waited for my prince to save me from the evil witch. When things were as simple as make believe. Now, all I want...

Last Night....
Before I went to bed last night, I listened to the rain on my roof. And even though I love its sound, I was glad I was safely inside, warm under my blankets. Then i wondered, how many people didn’t have protection from it, didn’t have warmth to keep the cold away, didn’t have a full stomach when they fell asleep. I thought about them and I was grateful for the life God blessed...
Great Day
So today was an overall great day. Lots of stuff made me happy!:
I got my grade changed in Chemistry so now I don’t have to take it next semester and I don’t have to leave my Ily!!!
I got an A on my Tone Book for English and I’m so proud of it because I worked really hard on it.
Someone told me if my eyes were marbles they’d have the best marbles ever!

First Day Back
It was a tiring day I think mostly because I got like two hours of sleep. You’d think I procrastinated…and I did but I was successful this time. I’m getting better I swear. So it’s back to school and I feel like I’m not supposed to be there like I’m still supposed to be at home sleeping :( I want to stay home and read and write and have fun. Now I have to...
Zombie days....
….are coming back I can feel ‘em. Last night i went to bed past 5:30 in the morning and had to force myself to wake up at 10 so I could go do my project and then come home and do more work. I’m in very much need of a nap and some Starbucks but that’s not gonna happen so I just gotta get back at it…only 9 more chapters to go!
….Plus questions….

You made my day yesterday and gave me a break from my hectic life…thank you I owe you more than you know.
No more apps!!!
I’m done with college apps!!! Today I sent my last two: Notre Dame de Namur and Santa Clara University my dream school and number one choice. It was such a relief to submit and be done. I will admit I had a few nervous breakdowns and some very stressful moments but I got through them…thanks to a certain someone who constantly reminds me that I’m over reacting for no reason. ...

Raja Night
Raja night was awesome!!! We were all kind of tired and J had work to do so it was a little less eventful than the last time but we still had lots of fun!!! I swear that lady at BK probably wanted to throw something at us but hey customer service right? ;) Sadly there was no game of B.S. or truth or dare but maybe next time…
Regardless of what we didn’t do last night, I had a wonderful...
Completion
Tonight, I felt complete. I was happy and my world made sense again. Words can’t explain the revelation I just had so I won’t waste them in the attempt. But it’s one of those times where your heart feels whole and all the right songs are playing.
I need to get some work in so I’ll try my very hardest to focus on reading. A few chapters and I’ll go to...
Isolated
I hate being apart from the world. At the moment and for the next few days at least that’s what I’ll be. I had my fun this vacation, went to Disneyland, opened gifts and had wonderful times with my family but now that the holidays are over, it’s time to focus back on school. It bums me out a lot, especially because I liked not having to worry about things for a little...
