1. Who would you like to see right now?
Right now, I’d really like to see my family. Not just my immediate family, but my extended family. They have a way of making me laugh and smile and just feel good. Hakuna Matata. That’s the vibe when I’m with them. Perfect timing: I’m supposed to see them tonight for Ate Chris’s birthday celebration. We might go salsa dancing afterwards, but I’ll probably just leave that to the adults =))
2. My favorite quote: “Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun set on your anger.” - Ephesians 4:26. I really like the second part, and it’s something I try my best to live by.
4. Top 5 turn ons:
- Good dancers: Not good grinders, but good dancers.
- Cheesy jokes: I’m a sucker for cheesy jokes. Really, anything that can make me laugh. But cheesy jokes are the absolute best :D
- Rolled up sleeves: There’s just something attractive about a guy’s forearms when they’re in rolled up sleeves. Don’t ask. It’s weird =)) But I’m not the only one who finds it attractive :D
- Good hugs: Tight hugs make me feel safe and warm :]
- Passion: Passion for a sport, or academics, or an instrument, or anything. Just passion. It means that person will be driven about something. It shows dedication, which is just plain attractive.
Top 5 turn off’s:
- Incorrect grammar: I’m not talking about the occasional misspelling of a word, or the occasional switch of “your” and “you’re”. But consistently incorrect grammar is just a major turn off. Especially now when pretty much all technology made for writing comes with spell check and autocorrect.
- Flirts: Not just with me, but with everyone. Regardless of how good I might feel when being flirted with, the knowledge that this behavior is replicated with pretty much every girl out there is just unappealing. I prefer sincerity to flirting, but I’ll admit that on occasion, flirting can be fun :D
- Laziness: Everyone can be lazy at times, and that’s totally fine. What’s a turn off is the laziness that means an absolute lack of motivation. Not caring to make any plans, not caring to aim high. Not setting better standards of achievement.
- One word answers: Especially just “lol”. No thanks.
- Close-mindedness: I’m not saying they have to be open to doing drugs or anything like that. I just hate it when guys are unwilling to even consider things that don’t mesh with their “cookie cutter” world. They don’t have to go and convert to another religion. But they shouldn’t just dismiss the unknown as stupid, either.
9. Where would you like to live?
I’d really like to live in Switzerland. Or Australia. Or New York. Just somewhere different. Also preferably a cute small town (although I might actually get tired of that).
10. Story of my last kiss:
I was going to say I don’t remember, but it just now crossed my mind. It was the Tuesday when we got out for Thanksgiving break, and my bestfriend and I were on the way to another friend’s house. We stopped at a park on the way and just hung out at the playground for awhile. He taught me how to play this game that apparently everyone should’ve known how to play since elementary school =)) It involved running and swinging over bars. I lost. But it was fun :] It was cold and we went back to the car. A song came on the radio. My favorite song at the time. And then we kissed. I wasn’t aware that would be the last, but things change. Not necessarily for the worse though. We’re still good friends :] I think I like it better this way.
14. Biggest regret: Not changing when I should have. And then purposely debasing myself when I shouldn’t have.
16. A wish: I wish that someday I’ll come to a definitive decision. I wish that either I’ll get better, or that I’ll have the means by which to do what I’ve been wanting to for awhile.
19. If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be:
If I could change one thing in my life, it would be that daddy would still be around. It doesn’t even matter if that means that I wouldn’t have moved to Texas. Sure, I’ll miss out on meeting some of the most amazing people. But if it means having my dad around, if it means not becoming as fucked up as I have, if it means still being his princess, then that’s okay with me. I realize that it’s all in God’s plan, but if I could change it, I really would. My dad was the most generous, kind-hearted person. Why wouldn’t I have that back if I could.
20. Your best kiss:
Honestly? There’re probably a lot, all with the same person. But I’m not sure I can go down that road without opening up a world of hurt, so if it’s okay with you, I’d really rather not go down memory lane just yet.
Nightmares.
It’s official. This has been a full week of nightmares. Every night.
Last night’s nightmare was probably the result of reading Blindness too much. Anyway, this one guy was the leader of a community of blind people who wanted to destroy the rest of the “seeing” world, which included me. So they set off to the house I was living in to burn it down. I thought it would be easy to avoid them because they couldn’t see me, but they happened to be blessed with super human hearing. Or echo-location. I’m not even sure. But they sensed pretty much any sound or motion. It was ridiculous. I (and one other guy who I don’t recognize) managed to escape from the burning house, but the blind leader knew about it and was determined to track us down.
He was like a mutant. He could run really fast and jump really high. Creepy. Anyway, in the end I had to pretend to be blind too so he wouldn’t kill me. Then, while I tried to distract him, the other seeing guy I was with would try to kill him.
I don’t remember the rest.
There were other nightmares too, but they were less vivid than this one. Oh well :D
I’ve learned to fear a lot of things.
I’ve learned to walk the other way rather than confront the things that hurt me.
I used to know how to put up this lovely, happy front.
But now it’s a lot easier to just walk away. Or not look. Or just not speak.
When did cowardice become my most prominent trait?
Is it cowardice, or hope? Wishing that maybe I don’t have to instigate a change. Maybe there’s some force or person out there who cares enough to. But then I realize, if I don’t even care enough to make the change, why should anyone else?
And maybe it’s better this way. Nope, that’s the coward speaking. But at least, I’m not the only one.
It Girl/It Boy | Jason Chen ft. Megan Nicole
I’ve been looking under rocks and breaking locks
Just trying to find ya
I’ve been like a maniac insomniac
Five steps behind ya
Tell them other boys
They can hit the exit, check please
‘Cause I finally found the boy of my dreams
Much more than a Grammy Award
That’s how much you mean to me!
You can be my it girl
You’re my greatest gift girl
Loving you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit girl!
This is it girl
Give me 25’ to life
I just wanna rock all night long
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it girl
You’re my biggest hit girl
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like
Oh Oh Oh..

I’ma need an overdose of that drug.
Winterball 2012 <3
1.21.2012.
Super busy day from the beginning. I got up at 5:00 a.m. to prep for BPA stuff, take a shower, and get all my things for the day ready. I went to Melia’s house at 7:30 and chilled there for another half hour before we finally left for Frisco. I almost wasn’t able to print out my resume, but my mom emailed it to me, so yay :]
Frisco is freaking far. And beautiful. The houses and gas stations and everything are all made of beautiful stone. And everything was so clean and nice and bright :] One of the middle schools is probably already bigger than GHS. Heritage High School, the school where the competition was, was really huge too. Mel and I chilled for a bit before we actually had to go compete. We did pretty well, I thought, but the judges had poker faces while we presented and that was a little bit intimidating.
After we competed, I had my interview skills competition. I got to the room twenty minutes early, which was really lucky because apparently they were running ahead of schedule. I was really nervous, and they asked me what the name of the company was. I totally blanked, but I had a really good save. I’m glad I at least got some exposure to the interview environment. Then Mel and I went to McDonald’s and back to her house.
We were in the middle of curling our hair when mr. Singleton called and said we made it to finals and that we had to be back at 2:30. We almost didn’t go, but Melia talked to her mom and we kind of felt guilty.
Hair half curled. 45 minute drive back. 1 hour of waiting for a judge who was late. Another hour waiting for the first two groups to present. Our presentation station wasn’t working at first. Points off. We didn’t have the statement of originality. More points off. Needless to say, it did not go so well the second time, but the judges did have some really nice comments. We placed in 5th, so we’re not going to State this year. Oh well, it was in Dallas anyway.
Afterwards, we went back to Melia’s house, where I finished curling my hair. Her mommy did my make up <3 I had some dress malfunctions because the dress was kind of loose. But I love that dress, it’s gorgeous <33 Stan came while we were getting ready, and Jay was late ish. We finally got to take pictures, and then we left for the dance.
Very interesting car ride on the way to the dance. I was happy when we finally got to winterball. We sat around for a bit before we decided to dance. Jay said my dress was too long, and that I should tie it up =)) The DJ kept overlapping songs, which really bothered me. We danced for a little bit before the parents got all prissy and told us to stop. Eh. We left after an hour of being at the dance. It was fun, and I didn’t really want to leave, but I had fun with Stan, Mel, and Jay afterwards.
We chilled at Ihop before Jay’s dad came to pick him up. Then Melia and Stan dropped me off at Sali’s, where the asians were.
That was fun too :D
Ended the night with Brandon and Jbo taking me home. I pretty much passed out when I got to my room.
Winterball 2012 wasn’t what I expected. But it was fun anyway :]
