headache

i have a headache right now. i thought a lot today.
so today we had the assembly and two hour lunch to motivate us for state testing. the food was really bad and the only thing i enjoyed today was shorter classes (35 minutes) and the 2 hour lunch. some classes today still made me do work =[

tomorrows friday and the 30 hour famine held every year..
im going to go 24 hours cause kevins afraid, and IM afraid i might faint =/ hahahah.. im also working tomorrow from 430 to 1130. dang..im gonna be so tired and tempted with all the yogurt in front of me. frickin a. half of me doesnt even wanna do the famine. but its a good challenge.

its 12:38 right now. i left this blog open for a while. im tired...and still have a headache. goodnight

a death in the family

im at school right now. muahahaha
last period of the day, so its all good.
i have quite some homework today that i'm really not looking forward to.

todays biblestudy, and we're having a band meeting before. my band is playing the whisky here in hollywood in july 12.. i think thats good to give us time to prepare, and play backyard shows before to practice!!!!!!
oh yeah, i ate at chipotle yesterday, i've been eating there way too much. but its so good.
today i woke up real bad. i just basically lifted myself up from bed, but like my mind and body was just like jfdsjafklsfdsfs. i was soooooooooo sleepy. i slept basically like all of 1st period. we were watching some old version of pearl harbor anyway..

i realize the rest of the week should be easy. because tomorrow is an early fast day, and thursday classes are like 35 minutes due to a 2 hour lunch!!..woo hoo.
i'm excited for my band due to the next 3 months. =]]

I WANT PEDALS.
These are the lies; the things you never mention.
these are my thoughts written down on paper,
it's my only savior,
from not saying what I want to say.
These are the thoughts that are on my mind,
moments that haven't yet been defined,
and I don't know if you could ever understand,
these are the things I can't say when we're alone.

4.14.2008

good sleep,

sorta.
i dont know why but i slept at 1 again.
so its morning on another frickin monday, and for some reason i woke up good..and i dreamt. so im guessing i could call this a good sleep.

i had work yesterday from 10-5..the frist time i ever worked 7 hours. hannah bought victor and i lunch. shes sweet.

so i have a quiz for some class today..i forgot what. haha. i think geometry..which is bad, cause i didnt even do the homework that was assigned for homework this weekend.
it's been real hot these past couple of days. and now im starting to feel tired out of nowhere..ha

oh, i finally got the book i wanted from the biona house.




4.13.2008

we've got these big city dreams.

hi

today was pretty cool and long.

first i wake up and my brothers wanted to go to chipotle, so i tag along cause i love chipotle. then tristan and i had to pack like filing stuff at my dad's office. haha. i think i like arizona green tea drink. then edge worship practice was at like 4pm. and it was pretty dope. i liked the worship alot today. i thought i was gonna mess up alot, but i didnt..so that was quite a relief. and i was satisfied. aaron mori came down again! glad to see that guy since the beginning of spring break..i talked to him about helping us recording our 5 song demo in may. orange coast peeps came down today with mikayla. she spoke on sex. shes sucha chill speaker. she seems so laid back on things. im glad she spoke on sex too. how everyone thinks its an "awkward" subject. time to break that shell.
after edge, we went down to chipotle AGAIN, hahaha..well we went to the one in westwood. which i dont like as much. and then we had red mango.

i have work tomorrow from 10am-4pm. im gonna be tired tomorrowwwwww. this weekend felt fast..two days for a weekend is short haha.

im counting down weeks til camp. and theres 16 more weeks. i know i say over and over, but i really like breakoutbreakout acoustic by all time low cause i listened to it at camp alot. so this song makes me feel gooooood.
now that i think of it, since springbreak is done..and we got no more breaks to go, it just goes to show how little much of school we got left..

so i found this site that has that movie "if only". doooope.

4.11.2008

we are the archers.

i hope school goes by fast today. and no homework.

sooo!

school today was fast. i forgot to mention we had an assembly on latino peeps. it was dope seeing matt gima up there banging them skinz.

im real glad its the weekend, but..weekends are gonna feel short compared to springbreak. zane made a good point at biblestudy sharing saying that springbreak got to a point where it felt like summer. i cant wait til summer. i just want to get away from school reeeal bad.
i saw the schedule for state testing next month and we have two weeks..this way, may will feel fast!!!!

so i want these black jeans from urbanoutfitters..theyre like BDG or something. but theyre dope cause theyre not like jeans with the fade and all. the black jeans i have now are like turning grey haha.
working this sunday from 10-4pm.
i hung out with eric and my bro yesterday. i love being around eric.
tomorrows edge..playing worship. oc staff is coming by. and mikayla is speaking.


4.10.2008

I'm still waiting for you to be the one I'm waiting for.

tomorrows friday! i have nothing planned.

i remembered alot of movies i saw in the past, and it surprised me of how much movies ive seen, and like it makes me feel like i have some movie knowledge haha. but i doubt it.though i kinda wanna rent these movies and watch them : if only..(this was on abc family and it was an original movie, so iono bout that), what women want (some dope movie with mel gibson and him reading minds), andd the holiday with jack black and them.

iono if i mentioned before but cloverfields gonna come out on dvd on the 22nd this month..definitely! gonna watch again.

and this is the worst part : she knows it.
and she's so confident, and she's what everybody wants.
don't ever forget, she knows it.

something tells me this is gonna make sense.
something tells me it's gonna take patience.
something tells me this will all work out in the end.

4.09.2008

so this is gonna be short cause im running kinda late for school. its 7:36..
but i wanted to say that i didnt know that if you dried your hair differently, you know with a blowdryer, that your hair comes out differently. that's pretty cool.

i think i will blog later:
today was an early wednesday. last night was biblestudy. alex couldnt make it cause i heard he was super tired..dang
i think im starting to adjust to school..6 frickin classes and stuff. i heard from zane that we have some rally or somethin..i forgot about what though. but he said we get a 2 hour lunch. thats dooooooooooope. and i think we have an assembly this friday. thats cool too.

so this song ive been writing has been hard. more like i cant get a chorus right now cause i have to decide on a chord progression for the chorus. this has been the hardest song ive ever written..its the most thats given me a hard time. im getting lazy, but if i fight the laziness, i can overcome it later.

i think this saturday is edge..and theres alotta frickin stuff on my mind i just realized :

  • music - band : songs, meetings
  • school
  • work - money
  • driving - license

i remembered when eric told me about this book a long time ago. i am now interested in it and i think its at the biona house according to him.

i can't wait for summer.

4.08.2008

sleepsleepsleep

so i think this is gonna become some routine maybe, that every morning i wake up, at 7:00 am i go on here to blog about whatever..
so yesterday at school was okay. it just feels way dumb that we have to get back into it..
i slept or rested my eyes in every class except for fourth period. which is bad but..i was really sleepy.

i had dinner with my family at a thai restaurant last night, and it was dope. good way to end a monday.
i think it's all about having to get back into the routine of school, like it being 5 days a week, and waking up..all the work and stuff.
yesterday i napped it when i got home..i think from 4-8. and i did my homework atfter we got back from dinner, which was at 10. and i slept at 1 last night. so i think i expect myself to sleep in some of my classes today...

2nd period geometry is one of the classes i really dont like cause i think the class is way boring, and..5th period spanish cause i feel like i shouldnt even be on it anymore, and the class is also way boring as well. all the other classes aren't too bad.

i got boba yesterday afterschool. i hadn't had boba in a while.
i also made $24 in tips at red mango haha. found out i have to pick it up every monday.

i'm only working this sunday from 4-11pm. which is real bad cause i have to get more hours than that in one week. last week i think i worked 20 hours. i planned it out, and i think i wanna work 3 days a week which is sunday, friday, and saturday, and all 6 hour days.

so..with school its gonna be hard to post any pictures..and im waking my brother up with all this typing..so i'll see ya.

4.07.2008

i hate school

so it's about 7:02 am right now, the first monday after springbreak =[
just woke up and everything and the only thing thats on my mind is school, and i canlt believe how wack it is. "i hate school" keeps ringing in my head literally, and i keep wondering why i'm sucha baby like this by complaining..but whatever. with work o nthe side, school might kill me haha..

i'm glad I even have time to blog..or i'm surprised i even woke up.

so..i was too lazy to blog this weekend, so i'll do it now.
friday - i went to torrance, to victory fellowship's youthgroup 'cause kevin spoke. and it was pretty cool. it's kinda weird cause it's the church mr. dien goes to, and hes a teacher at culver. haha. i went with zane, alex, amy, jordan, kimi, and kevin..we got home pretty late too. like at 1.
saturday - i had work from 10 - 3:30pm. work's becoming real tiring, but just 'cause i have to wake up..andd umm oh yeah. how can i forget. after work neverpeak was playing at chain reaction in anaheim. and yeah, chain reactions is sucha small club..i didnt know that. it doesnt look like that from videos i've seen. and neverpeak did fine. the venue's sound system is kinda eh though. and yeah then we all went to like..fullerton? nearby, to get yogurtland and i was hungry, and i probably don't like yogurtland, so good thing there was a chipotle next door ;]
i went inside yogurtland..and i was pretty much not diggin it, cause it aint real yogurt...and it's funny how peeps go in there and when they serve themselves yogurt, they just dump it all in there haha..but whatever, sall good.
sunday - woke up for work at 9. had work from 10 - 4pm..first 6 hour shift. honestly, i need more 6 hour shifts on the weekends. and yeah..then just stayed home..needed to rest before gay frickin school.

i remember quite a bit of my dream last night. it's cool.
i hope april goes by quick.

there's so many stuff to do like next month. i have music and band stuff on my mind, state testing, and getting my license next month!!! and i haven't even been driving. but yeah. and i probably have work somewhere.

so i have to dress up now..and i will probably be sleeping in all my classes. thinking about home. and how i wish i could be relaxing.
edit : im done dressing now..and i just realized that on the last friday of school for springbreak, i left my backpack in the car ffrom springfest. and..i havent taken it out the whole break. until..when i get downstairs. see ya

4.04.2008

The Refuge

so. i had work today. register got easier, i can pretty much run the front by myself. sorta. haha..and i havent gotten the chance to put together the machine..
we got aprons now too, so..i rock one haha. its wack..

for the past 2 days ive been going to chipotle for dinner. and every single time, theres always like these cute girls there. from LMU. but..they aint got nothing.
kevin is speaking at mr. dien's church tomorrow..hopefully, i can go.
oh and i've been up for about 3 hours now?..writing this song. it's called "The Refuge". and yeah, it's pretty dope and i still aint done yet.

i cant go to thuch this sunday cause of work...anddddddddddddd
yeah. camp is in like 18 weeks. hahahaha oh me. and like 10 weeks of school left. schools gonna go by so quick..i love it.
oh and i saw 21 last night by myself. eric says going to the movies by yourself is depressing, and it's..not really. sortaish, but not really. i mean he might not still feel that way. but it probably depends on the movie..

can't wait to record the demo. i hope we record it all over like..each song being redone for the demo..instead of gathering all tracks together that we have already recorded, and..putting em as a demo. thatd be wack. i plan that as we're recording the demo (if we do), i can post a webcam haha to show what we're doing. i also plan to have guest vocals from the homies with the chants. DOPEEEE ... excited.

4.02.2008

day...forget the days.

i had my first day of work yesterday at red mango and i'd have to say it's pretty chill. i mean the work there, like the hardest it can get is either washing dishes, which i do all the time at home, or cutting fruit. and i really dont mind it, so its pretty tight. i get so nervous when customers come in..haha. but that will soon change. kevin and pastor keith visited me yesterday. it was awesome..kevin's yogurt i made for him was actually the best swirl i made all day. i learned how to make the machine yesterday, make blenders, and..the register. it's still KINDA sketchy for me..but i mean im a noobie. but whatever..i go to work tomorrow at 10am-330am. im actually looking forward to it.

i finally got a red mango shirt, instead of just a visor.














so yesterday at biblestudy, went out to eat but frickin a, i had no money, kevin should inform us next time when we're gonna go eat..but anyway, still a cool biblestudy. had small group afterwards.
i think theres about 4 more days left of springbreak. i have to finish "The Refuge"..it sounds like the best song on the demo so far. i think it will be.
