HSA is OVER

Yay! A.P and I were so bored, we were considering going gangster:

Photobucket
Nahhhh too much work.

Since this week was kind of weird, I think I will talk about my weekend :D

On Saturday I went to a Pre-Conference for Secondary Student Conference (SSC). What is SSC? Look it up on Google foo! That day, I went to Pre-Con and slept. Literally. Fell asleep at 4 PM and woke up at 4 AM.

Photobucket
On Sunday, I went to eat at the Original Pancake House somewhere in town. I ate an asparagus omelette :) It was good. How good? Like no homework on a Wednesday kind of good.

Photobucket
Went to watch my niece at some cheerleading thing. Yeah, sorry Mililani, I supported Kailua...oh well.

Went to Ala Moana after that and had another awesome Jelly Au Lait. Mother bought some Godiva Chocolate. I could have died happily.

Went to Serteens after that.

That's What You Get

This week has been a good week :] The weather has been indescribably nice, and I just can't help but spend a few minutes outside each day. It's just that nice, you know?

A few days ago, I carved a pumpkin. It was diseased, small and had all the bad qualities of an unsavable one, but don't worry. S.N, H.H, L.H and I saved it :D

Photobucket
See?

Photobucket
It was just that happy.

I went to Starbucks one day, and got a mocha frappacino. Coffee really isn't good for me :( This was the first variation of my name I've seen in my entire life
Photobucket
I don't want to say 'epic fail', but...

Anyway today was Mole Day! I didn't take a picture of my mole, but that's ok, because I have a bunch of others that I did take pictures of :D
Photobucket
A.M's cake
Photobucket
K.D's cake
Photobucket
my plate (after lunch)
Photobucket
M.C's plate (after lunch)

Some things that made my day?
1) K.S's mix CD for me. I love music
2) Mole Day celebrations and milk
3) Finishing my APUSH presentation
4) Doing my homework on time
5) A fun afternoon

After school, I went straight to C106, or Mr. Kikugawa's room to study for my trigonometry test with A.M, M.C, G.L, M.S and J.Y. It was productive for a while, like so
Photobucket
actually, that was a lie, since M.S kept cracking jokes and making my books and pencils fall all over the place. Here is what they were doing
Photobucket
yes, playing with text messages and writing horrible stuff on pieces of paper o_O Oh well. It was fun ^_^

Photobucket
what a nice day :)

Tomorrow is Friday, and my Trig test D:
I. am. going. to. DIE.

PSAT, Starbucks, Ice Palace Galore

Yesterday was very enjoyable, despite the PSAT test that took a good 3 hours of my time ><. Woke up at 6:30 A.M and went to Longs to buy some SmartWater. It was all right, I think I like the bottle a lot more than the water though.

Photobucket
It had a fish on it!!

Anyway, after the test, I went with a few friends (ok, maybe a lot of friends) to Genki Ramen to celebrate the end of PSAT. There were mixed reviews on the test; some of my friends loved the math and hated the reading, some adored reading and hated math, some hated writing, liked the reading and tolerated the math, and some just hated it altogether.

The talk about PSAT disappeared, however, when our food came. I bought a big plate of chicken fried rice. I was very happy :D

After, we migrated to Wal-Mart, where G.L and I found these extremely comfortable boots.

Photobucket
They were very warm ^_^

We went to Starbucks, and Michelle and I ordered hot chocolates.

Photobucket
Some friends had a need to draw on my cup.

Photobucket
Some friends had a need to modify the drawings on my cup.

After hanging at Starbucks for a while, and seeing my friend N.M, G.L, D.L and I went to Star to mooch samples. I had the blue cheese...and I don't want to talk about it. The brie cheese made up for the blue cheese's horridness, but...

Later that night, I joined this one club to go ice skating. It was fun, except for the ticket that said...
Photobucket
that scared me a bit.

I was a little apprehensive about the skates too. I didn't believe my feet could fit in this
Photobucket
but amazingly, they did o___O

After making penguin circles, a lot like this
Photobucket
I ventured out on the ice and began skating. It was fun ^_^ I only fell once.

Yes, that pretty much sums up my Saturday. It had an epic test, epic food, and epic pictures. Want an example? BAM!

Photobucket
Thanks, I know I'm that awesome ^_^

An all right Friday

I've been feeling so out of it lately, but today was a good exception. Today felt really long for some reason, but hanging out afterwards made everything better.

Travelled with E.K, N.EP, J.G, M.H and M.C to Star Market after school to purchase some wonderful Haagen-Dazs :) We were debating between Star and Longs (personally, I like Longs better), but we chose Star because E.K said there was a whole aisle of ice cream! I was not disappointed ^_^

Photobucket

I listened to D.L's blog and purchased a limited edition green tea Haagen-Dazs ice cream. It was very good :) I was very satisfied, but I could not eat the whole thing :( I had to enlist J.G, E.K, M.H, M.C, K.M and D.L's help in finishing it (but hey, I never finish all my ice cream anyway).

Photobucket

N.EP chose Cookies and Cream. E.K shared with J.G some Bailey's

Photobucket

J.G really enjoyed his :)

Photobucket

And M.C and M.H watched and mooched. That's ok, we watched them duke it out over arm wrestling

Photobucket
and thumb wars.
Photobucket

It was fun :)

After a long discussion on diet, exercise and YMCA swimming lessons, I decided it was time to go home. I think I will take a walk now, to clear my miserable thoughts about the infamous PSAT tomorrow. Anyone want to hang out?

Photobucket

your random picture of the day :D (yeah sorry, my random pictures are turning out to be not so random ><)

Goodbye for now :)

School...?

Yes. School. School has indeed started. What a nightmare it has been.

Photobucket

First day back, and it began POURING. I love rain, so it made me happy that I could use my umbrella. Also, because it seemed like a good day for the rain to fall. Sadly though, my friend G.L decided that the first day back would be a good day to wear all white and bring no jacket, so I offered her my umbrella so she wouldn't get any wetter.

I went through the day very happily. I got a B on my APUSH test for the very first (!!!!!) time, and I did not have chemistry that day. Then I found out someone stole my umbrella. My butt ugly umbrella. I mean, who would steal that umbrella? It was plain, it was cheap and it was ugly. You know what? I hope their arms fall off so they can't steal no more umbrellas...SUCKA.

Anyway on to today. Today was definetely better than yesterday, but not the best day of my life. I was waiting for it to pour like yesterday (did I forget to mention that I love rain?), and I got my wish near the end of 5th period. I joined some friends for Genki Ramen. It was good.

Photobucket
Good company (there were more people, but I'm feeling too lazy to put their pictures up...sorry)

Photobucket
good food (I did not finish this ><)

Photobucket
good cause for my change

We went to Starbucks after, and I finally bought that hot chocolate I wanted. That was also good.

Photobucket
they spelled my name wrong, but hey, this barista was nice (unlike the one that served me yesterday, he sucked)

Photobucket
We got to hang out on the couch area :) That was the highlight of my day.

So all in all, today was like milk. Bland, not much going on, but still rather likable.

Photobucket
Oh, and here is a not-so-random picture for you to enjoy. Out of all the boxes, I think I'd have to check the cloudy and rainy ones. It would be pretty flippin' awesome if it snowed here, but I think that would indicate severe global climate crisis, so I guess it'd be better if it didn't, huh?

I still hope that person's arms fall off o_O

Sunday

Usually I dislike Sundays (especially since, this particular Sunday, school begins soon after ><), but today was an exception. My weekend was pretty awesome. By awesome, I mean a near perfect way to end a gradually exciting break.

On Saturday, I went to a friend's party. It was nice :D

Photobucket

I met a friend, too.

Photobucket

Food. Was. Awesome.

Photobucket

After walking us home late at night, G.L and I began our epic sleepover

No pictures though, we were too busy looking at other pictures, studying and talking to take some. If you must know, we were studying for APUSH, examining last year's yearbook, and talking about beating each other at Mario Party 7 (the computer won).

Photobucket

Sunday, I went to D.L's house to drop off some flan and steal some apple pie. I stole some strawberries and delicious juice too ^_^

Photobucket

I joined him and C.Y for a long walk. We picked up A.T on the way, and we travelled to McDonald's, Foodland and Jack-in-the-Box. I did not take many pictures :( I will remember to bring my camera next time, and not just my phone.

And now I am off to begin my horrible stack of homework :( Unfortunately, I had to reject an invitation to the beach and now I am sad. Even sadder than this ---> T_T <--- sad face.

Photobucket
I miss this gelato bar so much

Ala Moana

Yesterday was the most interesting day I have had this whole break. I woke up at 6:20 A.M. and got ready for an exciting, fun-filled, FOOD day at our own ALA MOANA :) It was also going to be my very first time on the bus, so I was pretty excited about that as well.

Unfortunately, the morning started out rainy, cloudy and dark. Not a very fun way to start the day, but I was hopeful that the rain would stay in Mililani, like how it usually does.

Anyway, I came to the Transit Center, and found K.S. waiting patiently for the rest of us to come. She's always been an early riser anyway, so we sat and wait for others to show up.

Photobucket

The early bus came, but since we were the only two there, we decided to skip it and wait for everyone else. H.H, M.C, D.H, D.B, and D.L came later on, in that order, so we looked a lot like this:

Photobucket

Photobucket
D.B felt tired from that awesome performance on Thursday night :(

M.C had this really cool dollar by the way. I felt like I should share it with the awesome people who read my blog ^_^
Photobucket

Photobucket
D.H examining this awesome dollar and checking its validity

In any case, the bus came soon afterwards, and we boarded. I was super excited to be on it, and I could hardly contain my excitement (actually I could). I could have sang (not really), but I satsified myself instead with reading the ads on the bus, and watching the scenery. In case you were wondering, it rained.

Photobucket
Sadly, my feet could not touch the ground :( Oh well.

We arrived at Ala Moana a whole HOUR before any store opened, so we walked around aimlessly for a while.
Photobucket
D.L led us for most of the way, like so.
Photobucket

I dragged everyone into the first Saint-Germain's bakery I saw, and purchased a delicious curry fry. I swear, it was the best thing I had ever tasted that was fried. In fact, it was so good, I bought another one to enjoy at Fall Fair.

Sorry, no picture for you :( I ate both before I realized that I should have taken a picture for all to enjoy in my blog. But if you really think about it, you wouldn't have enjoyed that picture, would you? I mean, that would just make you sad that you weren't eating a curry fry yourself!

Photobucket
We walked around for a while. The sky did not look sunny. I was getting sad.

Photobucket
We did stumble upon a part of Ala Moana I had never seen before though. This store was pretty good. It had nice jackets. If I hadn't eaten all I had, I would have spent all my money on one of them. K.S and I also stumbled upon a familiar store:
Photobucket
For those of you who went on the Boston Orlando trip, I think you'll remember this as the $200 a skirt store. Haha. Obviously we did not step foot in there.

It began nearing opening time, so we walked to Shirokiya, where we would greet the day with croquettes, ramune
Photobucket
and very flattering windows!!
Photobucket

We explored more, but D.B, K.S and I split ninja-style from the group and had our own adventure in Ruehl No.925
Photobucket
where we sat on their many couches, beds and chairs and took a lot of pictures in their many mirrors, like so
Photobucket
and Nordstrom.
Photobucket
We did not vary much from our pattern.

Photobucket
K.S and I did play with $200 glasses. They were very pretty :)

We met up with the other half of the group to eat Gelato. I had green tea and mint chocolate chip. I was very pleased with myself for choosing two good flavors :)
Photobucket
I don't remember ever taking this picture, but here it is anyway
Photobucket
One thing I was confused about, though, was the fact that the lingerie section was right next to the children's shoes. It was weird. So we left quickly.

I'm getting tired of describing my whole Friday to you, so I will just put pictures with a brief description.
We ate at Donburiya right after gelato. I had unagi don
Photobucket
Sorry it's blurry :( I was just that excited to eat it

Photobucket
I could not figure out the pattern in this. Help me?

Photobucket
D.H, K.S and I had another mini adventure in LeSportsac. That mirror was not as awesome as that one store's window, though.

Our group wandered into La Palme d'Or, where I had a delicious Coffee Jelly Au Lait with milk (yes I remembered the name :) It was that good)
Photobucket
and a Gateau Choclat
Photobucket
It was too sweet for me :(

Our group was slowly shrinking, and soon, only D.L, M.C and I were left. We went back to Shirokiya to buy mochi ice cream
Photobucket
I had tiramisu and creme brulee :)
Photobucket
takoyaki
Photobucket
mochi cream (i had a sakura flavored one)
Photobucket
and CANDY :)

Ala Moana day was coming to a close though, so our group caught a bus back home for Fall Fair. It wasn't that busy, which was good because I was exhausted from that day. I don't remember a lot that happened. Except that I was forced to be entertained at the Anime Club's booth. I ended the night happily with two face paintings :) one by C.N
Photobucket
and one by G.L :)
Photobucket

All in all, a very good day :) I'm happy I got to go, and it was awesome, despite the rain and cloudiness (actually, I really liked it at night).

Photobucket
And this just wouldn't be my blog, if I didn't show you a random picture :)
(This is my future Winterball dress by the way :D)
