happy thanksgiving

and yes, i do know it was two days ago. i've been with "family" for the past few days, so i'm just getting around to do the blog thing now. but also, i didn't know exactly what to say. i mean, yes i'm thankful, but thankful for what exactly? i could just go over all the regular things: food, shelter, family, etc. but there's more to it this year. i'm growing up and i think i need to think these things through a little more. so, here is my list of thankfulness:

1. my mother. she is my rock, and though sometimes i get more pissed off with her than i should, i love here with all my heart and i'm glad she is my mom.
2. my sister. lately, she's turned into one of my best friends. it's a little strange, seeing as how just a few years ago we couldn't get along for the life of us. but i love her, and in a few years i may not be living with her anymore, and i'll sure miss her and her silly little sayings.
3. my best friend, meera narayanan. i don't know what the heck i would do without her. i'm not just saying that. she saved me from a dreadful fate, haha. she knows what i'm talking about(:
4. my school. yes, i realize that i do complain about that darn place quite often, but i know that i am becoming a better person every day because of what i learn, both inside and outside the classroom. at MHS i'm witnessing things every day that change me for the better.
5. the people i've met and have gotten closer to for the past two years. many of them have changed me, some for the better, some for the not-so-better, but i've learned from them. some people of note are: vy phung, guadalupe dominguez, cecilia nguyen, michelle nguyen, tammy nguyen, bryan castaneres, ashley nguyen, and victoria van. I LOVE YOU GUYS!

and of course, i thank YOU. for reading my hideous blog, thanks for caring(:

not much to tell...

but i figured i should let anyone who maybe be reading my blog about my unimportant, unexciting life, that something exciting actually did happen today. i finished twilight. it could be the single best book i have ever read. which is saying a lot. yes, i do read a lot, and yes i am a nerd. get over it. anyways, if you haven't read it, i want you to turn off your computer, head over to the nearest library, bookstore, or friend with twilight and start reading. don't worry, it won't take that long. i finished mine in two days. and i thought the same thing you're thinking: it's just a trend, i don't want to hop onto the bandwagon. well, let me tell you this: i was wrong then, and you are wrong now. and i would tell you what happens, but you'll have to just go find out yourself(:

happy reading!

holy moly!

it's already sunday. good thing is, we have tuesday off. i wish we had tomorrow, too. it's all good, though. sky high tomorrow, i think... who else is going? some (or all? i don't remember) of the money spent there with a certain flyer gives interact money to send to people in africa who needs it. sky high's super fun and it's for a good cause, so i really want to go. we'll see.

anyhow, on friday i went to the football game, and again, we killed. though not that many people went, it was hella fun. hahaha! head massages and whatnot. and now we are officially league champs. this coming friday is senior night, last game of the season, so i'm definitely going. and then we're off to CCS. i'm so excited. i think we have a really good shot at getting the title, which would be awesome. twice in three years. and something you might not have known: this is the first time MHS has been named football league champs since 1998. did you know that? i just found out friday(:

it was a little awkward and short-lived, but i'm glad i had a talk with them. even though it was just the same stuff as usual, they surprised me. and though someone interrupted... it's all good.

well, i should probably start my homework. hope your weekend was/is good!
