Consistancy

I lack the ability to be this -_-

I miss just blogging because I can. It's so much more convenient than writing every single thought down in a notebook. Now I use twitter as an excuse to condense a rant in less than 150 letters and spaces. Ughhhhhh. And why do I feel so much more comfortable about writing on blogspot rather than tumblr? Honestly, I argued with Jon about whether Tumblr was made for blogging or rather an extended version of Twitter. Now it's even more evident that what I said was right. ;p

Yves Saint Laurent (Fall 2009 collection) vs. Forever 21


(click to see bigger)

I have spotted another Forever 21 knock off, once again. Not off of Christian Louboutin, however, from Yves Saint Laurent. No, I don't go on Forever 21 looking for designs that incriminate the company--they do that for themselves. From Hellz Bellz to Urban Outfitters, Forever 21 continues to research and develop clothing and shoes. Inspiration? I think not.

So who will you choose?

Undecided.

It's been so long since I've updated.. but what can I say? I'm a busy girl! NAHT. But, I'm really grateful for this summer. It's a blast knowing that I don't have timed analytical essay or multiple choice to do the next day :] However, the thought of first semester stresses me out and half the summer hasn't even passed. Ugh, shoot me now.

As far as recaps go, since my last entry, I have:
  1. gone to LA to see my college bound boyfriend receive his diploma! :]
  2. successfully commit my time to PAPIA Banquet
  3. put up clothes for sale (comment me for the listing; I'm negotiable, I promise)
  4. went to a beach wedding
  5. went to my cousin's graduation party in Manteca.
  6. ended junior year with a 3.8 GPA ;p
  7. broken my laptop to finally get a new one (which I am using now)
  8. and watched countless amounts of movies and episodes of the Hills and the City
LA was amazing as always, and I can't wait to go back and visit. It always feels like a short time whenever I visit, but, it was incredible to see my boyfriend walk across that stage and officially graduate from high school!

PAPIA banquet was such a success. I have big plans for this year's banquet and year for the club.. but every time I hear "PAPIA President" I just get the chills. It's been a long time that I've waited for this school year, and now we're finally here.

(let's skip to #6) Call me a dumb Asian or whatever, but hell, I know I worked my butt off.
  1. AP U.S. History, Cash - B/G (*An outstanding student)
  2. Photography, Miles - A/S
  3. AP English Language and Composition, Strasser - B/E
  4. PE, Medigovich - A/E (*An outstanding student)
  5. Spanish 6, Wager - A/E
  6. Honors Pre-Calculus, Mooney - B/G
  7. AP Biology, Adams - C/S (*Not turning in assignments)
That's the first time I have ever gotten a C on a report card. I don't feel like complaining because I'm definitely not trying to think about the past, but ugh. It's such a pain to see. Consider the fact that I have never taken a class of biology before. I probably could have done better, but what's done is done.

Watching the Hills from the beginning is crazy. I can't believe it's been four years since the series started! From watching Lauren Conrad find success in her career to seeing Heidi Montag ruin her face, it drives me crazy to know that life will pass us all up that quick ;p It blows my mind, but I can't wait until I'm up and out of San Diego! I'm craving independence. Many people argue that living on their own is extremely difficult because they need to make ends meet.. meh, Idc. Call me ignorant, but I'll learn.

Now for the pictures! Enjoy enjoy enjoy :]
