Hehe. It's nice to have friends that don't expect any out of you. I went cloud watching on Thursday! I saw a rabbit in the sky, two to be exact. Joe (he goes to Renton, but I don't think a lot you of you guys know him) was near so we dragged him along to go to the park with us! He caught tiny garden snake and put it in a water bottle. I felt kinda sorry for the snake trapped in such a small space but then again, I hate snakes. They scared the living daylights out of me.

Do you guys believe in those horoscopes thingys? Like the chinese zodiac thingys? Well Im a Rooster and Im pretty sure everyone else here is too and it says that my best friends were going to be an Oxen and a Snake. The Oxen I don't mind, it's patient. But I found it super ironic that my most hated animal might as well be my best friend.

I don't like roadtrips. You have to be confined into the small area of a mini-van that's crowded with your family and someone else's family. Im the youngest out of the entire group and the only other person I can relate to in this wee Mini-Van is a twenty something college student from Vietnam, she's here so she can study. I wish daddy rented the big and roomy SUV instead but we can't afford that, so we're stuck with some crummy Grand Caravan. Gee I wish I could spread my legs out some more but no, there's no space to spread out my legs, cause there's another leg and the stupid chair in front of my that's blocking the way. ): ): ): Dalena is miserable, help Dalena adorn a smile on her face once again.

Hi everyone!

I got really irritated today when some dumbass on AIM kept making fun of my Viet teacher. I mean, yeah, I get it. He's cross-eyed, but that doesn't make him a monster. In reality, he's actually, dare I say it, a pretty nice guy. But it puzzled me so much when I started to stand up for him. When did I start standing up for him? Why a did all of sudden, I had this great respect for him? When did I start to at least try and look like I understood whatever the hell he was teaching? When?

Was it when he complimented my handwriting and drawings? I personally thought that he detested my doodles and erased them whenever he came near, but he actually likes them. Maybe it was when we had a talk about the characters of Naruto. Who knew that he watched and read Naruto?! But maybe it was when I was at recess one day. And this small little kid was running around and soon enough, the kid ran to my Viet Teacher. He hoisted the kid up into a piggyback ride and I saw something in him. A human. Not a monster like everyone else saw, I saw a human. And suddenly, I understood that quote that Jennifer had on her myspace, "People don't change, you change how you see people."

But it made me realize something too. That everyone's human. Eveyone has feelings, goals, thoughts, dreams and whatnot. I think sometimes, we're so caught up in our own lives and selfishness that we forget that.
