I Never Knew Days Could Be Themed

So, from the minute my eyes opened up this morning, things did not go according to plan. First and foremost, I woke up late at around 7:42AM, too late to catch the bus. Being that these half-days are a waste of time anyway, I didn't even bother to try to get to the hs. There was, of course, only one person who gave me reason to go. My plan was to take the bus before noon to meet up with him or it would be that he would take the bus over here. As the theme of today goes, that did not go accordingly. As I texted him through other peoples' phones, it turns out that the risks are too great to hang out today. Instead of whining and sulking about the let-down as usual, I held myself still, and just suggested for better. It worked well. I requested a phone call or webcamming later own to make up for it. I was, in that point, happy. Today's theme had yet to fade. Later on in the day, we were on AIM and his brother had to use . I really didn't mind at all, as I continued to watch the the movie 500 Days of Summer. I loved it!! :) Then, he came back, apologizing for the inconvenience. I tried to assure him that it was okay, but then he directly assumed that I seemed mad. Maybe it's my fault for causing so many problems between us, which has then led to you being so used to a mad me. With this sudden accusation shoved in my face, I was confused - in no bad way at all! Then, I tried to reassure that no, I'm not mad, along with questions of how I even seemed mad. Hey, I was confused so I asked. Being mistaken for speaking in a rude, freaking-out way, I got a "jeez chill out". Oh and then I got a "Please just stop talking" and "effin relax" and "babe leave me alone". The entire time I was just confused and in a content mood, happy to be talking to you, hoping to get out of this rut. All I did was ask how I seemed mad, when I really wasn't - and then you freaked out on me. As I was then, I am now. I'm not going to be the one apologizing this time. I would really like to talk to you again soon, but it's not my move to make right now. Photo is of a sharpie thing I tried to do to. wamp lol.

A Feeling Can Only Last So Long


My lips are dry and I lick them over in hopes for hydration. I finished Cirque 5 tonight, after dinner. God, don't you hate it when you're at the point where you're just about done reading for the night and then right at that point, the book gets amazing? It's a bitter-sweet feeling, it really is. My eyes said no, but my mind screamed, "KEEP FACKIN READING!" Long-behold, I am 4 chapters ahead and done with the book. This afternoon was good, until my dad lashed out the bitchiness right when we got home from the mall. I had some relief in shopping for hours with the madre, but a feeling can only last so long. Feelings of content only last until around 9:30 tonight. Photo's of this adorable rice bowl at East West that I wouldn't have minded purchasing.

Cirque Cirque Summer

So I actually got started on my summer reading today, deciding to stay home. I got invited to go to about three places today, but I stayed put. My father kind of scolded me the night before for always being out of the house after practice had already ended. I've actually thought about what he said, and he is sort of right. I'm planning to go to a friend's house on Monday for a "last day before school party" so I can't spoil anything right now.

I have decided to recreate the back and front covers of the book I'm reading. At first I wanted to do a portrait of the protagonist with descriptive quotes framing his or her face; but I had already read five book and didn't bother to write them down as I went. I'm far too lazy to be looking back into my book for those quotes. :D Reading Cirque all summer has played towards my advantage, seeing that I'm actually willing to read it. I'm on book 5 now and still going strong! A few nights ago, I made some rough sketches of what I wanted to paint, and here's the front cover so far! I am very proud of how it came out..I just hope the teacher has decent lighting to see the color contrasts! Its a dark painting after all. And now all that is left is the back cover..where I also have to write a blurb an a bunch of stuff..bummer.

Forever Captured In Photo

I still get to enjoy waking up at 11AM, even though practice is starting up again. Today I woke up around then and really didn't do much..I stayed home and just chilled out watching TV and eating. I tried to redye my hair, but that kind of failed. The color only got a little darker, but it was all the same. A package came around 1:30 PM and I kind of missed it. I was too busy on the computer with headphones on, until my brother threw somthing at me to answer the door. I rushed outside, picking up the UPS sticker on our door to catch the delivery man to reclaim the package. It was from the Philippines and I asked my mom about it. She said it was pictures from her father's funeral. I got the courage to open up the package [she asked me to] and I asked my brother if he wanted to view them with me. We sat on the couch and looked at the first picture. Immediately, feelings of compassion and sadness flooded me as I saw my Lolo laying in his coffin. The inch that produced tears was the image of my mother in mourning, forever captured in photo. It hurts me so much inside to know that. We looked through photos and we would occasionally crack jokes, pointing out little parts of the photos to keep our spirits a little bit higher, above the water.

Around 3:30PM I was dropped off to the high school where I found Greg chilling out, watching the band practice. We both went inside the school to meet up with Jaelynn, Shannon, and Regina, who were sewing up ripped flag silks. I helped them until we had to leave again from our own practice. Tonight's practice was okaym except I know I wasn't up to par. I was tossing to the side and whatnot, just out of it. Everyone has their days, anyway. After practice, I came home and ate my life away with muffins, bread, and cereal. It was bad. Then, my sister, her boyfriend, and I went to Barnes & Noble, so I could purchase the 4th book of Cirque Du Freak! :D I had finished the 3rd earlier today, and was anxious to continue! I also purchased a sketchbook with a beautiful Japanese wave print on the spiral hard covers! I've wanted it for so long! I'm very happy :)

I've Found You

Hrmm.. Nothing really happened that Friday.. I definitely took advantage of sleep the night before. Band Camp was over, and there was no way I was going to be awake before 11:00AM. I woke up at 2:30 that day, and I didn't do much. When my father came home, we tried to get uniforms, but apparently all the places were closing early on Fridays. I had looked up times for Atlantic Uniforms, and the website stated that they close late on Fridays at 8PM. They're such liars. =P

OH. And I finally found my book that day! I was so happy yet upset at the same time. Obviously I was happy for finding it because now I could actually finish reading and continues the series [ as well as do summer reading]. I was upset because it was right where I had left it. I thought it wasn't there because I had checked the area multiple times. It was in a bag under the counter of my kitchen. I clearly remember putting it on top of the bag, but as I checked, I never looked deep enough into the Macy's bag to realize it had fallen in so far. ._.
And now I continue the Cirque Du Freak series. :)
