Whoop! I finally put up a new layout. ^^; The last one was way too bright on most ppl's computers, and it was hard to read the text. Though for some odd reason, it looked fine on mine. "/ Well, I hope this layout is not as bright. lol I decided to dedicate this layout to the beautiful rose. X] I seem to love roses more and more lately, maybe it's because of that pretty rose that blossomed in our back yard a month ago. It was the most amazingly pretty rose I had ever seen, and its colors were shades of pink and white. Too bad its petals fell off after only a couple of days. =[ Oh well.
Opps, I almost forgot to add the layout information. X] Well...here it is.....

Version: 8.o
Theme: Angelic Blossoms
Released: 11/2O/O4
Colors: Red & Gray
Created with: Photoshop 7.O
Theme song: If I Open Up My Heart

Next week is Thanksgiving! We get a 3 day Thanksgiving holiday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. That means...we only have 2 days of schol next week! I'm so happy!!! lol But, our English teacher just had to assign us another essay-type of homework. We have to write a 3rd person autobiography, and we have to satirize ourselves in it. O.o Meh, I'm sooo gonna do badly on this assignment. She also assigned us the book "Seabiscuit". I hope that book is good, cause I haven't started on it yet. lol I heard it was really good from some ppl, and it was really boring from others. O.o I guess I'll have to find out myself by just reading it, won't I? hehe Well, thats it for now! I think I spent too long on the computer, cause my eyes hurt. x__x

Yay for a new update. =] Thanks for all the compliments about the new layout! I'm glad ya'll like it. lol
I just got back from bowling! Woww, my whole body is soar. Even my neck. O.o Though it was awesome & fun. I went with my older sister and her boyfriend. Grrr, her boyfriend kept on winning! >:] My sis got 2nd place during the first round, and I got 2nd place during the second round. ^^' I need to practice, though it's kinda hard to do that in my house. lol Anyway, I went to this Chinese performance with some of the Asian club members last Friday. The performance was over Chinese culture stuff. It was..er...neat, most of the time. This person played the flute for what seemed like 1 hour, and I almost fell asleep. I really liked the Butterfly & Peacock dances cause the background music and costumes was really pretty. That performance basically took up the rest of my Friday. So...I am still overloaded with homework/projects/tests/essays. x__x *sigh* Our English teacher never runs out of essay topics to give us. I wonder if she ever gets tired of grading them. I'm planning to procrastinate on this essay again, cause I didn't work on it at all this weekend, and I think it's due next week or something! *O* Oh well, I always seem to get away with it. I should learn from the sleepless nights I get from procrastinating, but I never seem to be able to. I mean, I had to spend the entire night working on the essay last Halloween night, and I didn't get to fully enjoy Halloween. "/ Though, it was still fun to be able to pass out candy for those trick or treaters once in a while. hehe

Wow! I'm soo sorry about the lack of updates! It's just that I've been soooo busy! lol I know, I always make that excuse don't I? -.-'
I actually found the time to update and put up a new layout today! Well, I'm supposed to be working on English homework, but I'll leave it for tomorrow. X] I really like this layout since the colors on it are my favorites! Blue is my most beloved color, and pink is second. ;] Ohh, and also Buruburu, that dog at the top. haha So...here's some obvious information about this new layout. ^^

Version: 7.o
Theme: Innocence
Released: 1O/3O/O4
Colors: Pink & Blue
Created with: Photoshop 7.O
Theme song: If I Open Up My Heart

Anyway, today was the All-State Orchestra taping test!!! I was freaking out the night before, and practiced for like 5 hours. O.o Well, theres a reason I was freaking out, because I didn't even learn 3 of the 6 excerpts we got! I'm such a major procrastinator. lol Omg, there were only like 5 violins from our entire high school trying out. (me included) I asked some of the juniors how many violins ever made All-State from our school, and they said that none of the violins in the past two years have made All-State. That sure made me feel better. lol So...now I'm just waiting for the results of the tryouts, which we will get around the end of November. I most likely won't make it. >__< Oh yea, the region tryouts are already over, and I actually made it!!! I was so surprised when I saw my name on the list of violins who made region that I starred at that list for like...3 minutes, making sure it was my name. lol Anyway, enough about that boring stuff!!! Well, actually, everything in my blogs are boring...so whatever.
Ohhh, I get to go to the carnival w/my sister & her boyfriend tonight! AND, if the carnival isn't fun enough, then we are going bowling! :D I can't wait till they pick me up in a few minutes...hopefully. lol Man, I haven't bowled in like forever. Actually, I only bowled once before, and it was like last year. haha I looved bowling, but my entire body was soar after it. Aye, thats it for now! I'm gonna try to update more often, which I totally suck at. lol

Ahhhh, I've been so busy lately! I don't even know what I have been busy with. @___@ I didn't actually have that much homework this week, but I guess it's just the fact that I have an All-Region violin tryout, All-State violin tryout, 2 projects, and tons of tests/quizzes comming up!!! To o o ...m u c h....p r e s s u r e...NEED A BREAK. Thank God we don't have that much homework from English everyday, because we are reading a book called, To Kill a Mocking Bird. It's a pretty good book. =] Except...I haven't finished it yet, so I can't be so sure yet. I mean, a lot of books might be really good at the beginning/middle, but the end totally ruins the entire book. Eeek, I hate those kinda books. >__<" So....I ended up not going to the Homecoming dance after all. Well, my family went to Houston on that day, and returned at like 8:30 PM, so I would have missed it anyway. Haven't heard that many excellent comments about the dance, so I don't think I missed that much, which is a good thing. ^^;
Blah, I bet I'm forgetting to mention a lot of things, but I guess it doesn't matter. Anyway, I thought that this week's fashion police section of the US WEEKLY magazine was just waaay too hilarious to miss!!!! Check this out, and be sure to read the comments. ;]

Yay! Finally found some time for a new update. X] I finally understood the stupid proofs on my Geometry homework, so I got to finish all my homework (which was mostly in Geometry)!
Blahhh, I caught a pretty bad cold from this idiot....I don't know who it is yet. Since like everybody around here is sick, it's probably going to be kind of hard to find that idiot. lol Being sick is not fun, and never has been. X__x First my throat starts to hurt, and then my nose starts running. The same things happen to me everytime I get sick. Anyway, enough about my sickness. haha
I am sooo happy that we get Friday off! It's a teacher's work day or something, so we get that day off. ^^; Oh, and on Thursday, every class is shortened by 5 minutes, except 4th period, because we have an afternoon activity! Is that awesome or what? lol Though the bad thing is that I currently know that I have 2 quizzes on Thursday and a test on Wednesday. =[ Oh well, I guess I'm used to those anyway.
Man....I think homecoming dance is this Saturday! All of the girls are going to wear long dresses, and I have none. Actually, I don't have any dresses. Well, I think I have 2 skirts that I never worn and are too short for me now...but thats it. haha Thats like...sad. Ugh, I was going to go to the homecoming dance b4 I knew all the girls are going to wear long dresses. Now theres like 5% chance I might actually go. "/ I mean, I wouldn't wanna go to that dance and be the only girl wearing jeans and a shirt. haha That would be so awkward. I also don't think I will find a dress that will fit me nicely any time soon. Like most dresses are either too fat or too short. O__O I guess being tall and skinny has its bad sides. lol
Oh, and I swear I am going to put up a new layout! I just don't know when...hehe. To tell the truth, I already finished making a new layout. Except...it has like a summer theme, and it's almost winter now! Or, I think it's almost winter. X] So now I have to make another layout. Blahh

I'm BACK!!!!!!! Whoop! That was an extremely long hiatus, I think over a month! I can't believe I didn't update for such a long time. I got so busy with school work that I barely have time to edit my Xanga and stuff. I probably still won't have time to edit my Xanga, but at least I'll start updating more often. ^^; Oh, and I am reallly sorry that I won't be able to comment that many people back either.
Man, I must say the High School is quite different from Middle school. The homework/tests/quizzes/ increased by like 5 times the old amount. Though, I am getting used to the change. Soo…took 2 quizzes and a test today. Nothing new. The test was in Geometry Pre-AP, I think I did OK. One of the quiz was in English I Pre-AP, and the other in Biology Pre-AP. I hope I did good on those. -__-" I also turned in my World History Honors project. It was this doll we had to make of an ancient person. We drew a name from a box. I got HanFeiZi. He is this Chinese philosopher, and that was like all I knew about him. Aye, I hope I will get a good grade on that project.
I had to go to Fiddlers yesterday, and every Thursday. I guess it’s actually pretty fun after a while, but the part that you have to make up your own music really annoys me. Oh yea, stupid Region and State orchestra tryouts coming up soon!! I’m the only freshman violin trying out for State Orchestra from our school. O.o I have like a -100% chance of making it, but I guess I’m jus trying out this time to see what the competition is like. I’m soooo nervous, cause the music we have to play is extremely hard. >__< That is not cool. lol
Okk…time for a flashback of important dates. =P

First day of HIGH school (8/16/04)

Omg, my first day of high school was bizarre! Thank goodness they weren’t counting ppl tardy, or else I would be like dead. lol I couldn’t find my locker until the second day of school, so I had to carry my heavy backpack for the entire day. Trust me, it was torture. O__O I also had trouble finding most of my classrooms cuz the school seems so gigantic, so I was asking every teacher I could find along the way for directions to the class I’m supposed to be going too next. Haha…it was crazy. Didn’t do much today, cept get introduced to ppl and stuff.

Violin recital, and JOY CAME BACK!! (9/4/04)
The night before the recital was when Joy told me she is BACK! I couldn’t believe it!!! Ended up it was true, because she came back for 3 days to hide from the hurricane that was hitting Florida. I didn’t get to see her, and I will probably never get over it. =[ Oh, and the recital was OK. I think I did badly on my solo, but whatever. lol

I got my ears pierced (9/5/04)
Ahh, that was awesome! haha It took me forever to convince my parents that I should get my ears pierced. It finally worked! Yepyep. Soo, I got my ears pierced in the mall, in Icing to be exact. lol It didn't really hurt that much, cept I was verrry nervous. That person that was piercing my ears messed up on one ear and pierced it too low from the dot. Dang, why does every weird thing have to happen to me?! Then, she took the wrongly pierced earring out, and repierced that ear. Thank GOD that time it was right on the spot. -__-" So...now I have 2 holes in one ear. Though it eventually grew back. What an experience.

<<<<<<There seems to be a problem with my layout being misaligned!!! Try to refresh the page if that happens. It should become aligned after you refresh the page! =]>>>>>>

Boring day. O__O Made 2 new buttons, one to match this layout, the other one is jus an extra choice. X] I think the extra choice button is so cute! lol I also spent a lot of time joining fansites, and adding the codes onto this Xanga. ^^ Then, I decided to add more music to the playlist! The newly added ones are mostly in Korean/Japanese. lol I LOVE those songs! Actually, I love all of the songs on the playlist! hehe Ooook, now I gotta announce something! lol, "announce".
I am going on a major hiatus!!! This time, the hiatus is for school! I have to control myself from getting on the computer, or else I'm not going to be able to finish all of the homework! I have a feeling I'm going to be overloaded with homework when school begins. >__< Especially since like all of the courses I'm taking are in an advanced level. O.o
So...byeee!!

Much love,
Emy

Wow, yesterday was a busy day. =] Our family went to Houston! It was mostly because my dad had a dentist appointment there. We first went to the Galleria, which is a huuggee mall. Dang, I swear, u could get lost in that place in like 3 seconds. lol There was also an Ice Rink in the Galleria. It looked so awesome, but since we were in a hurry, my parents didn't let me skate. =[ Then, we went to China Town! I love that place. X] We always go shopping for food in China Town, and I always end up with tons of junk food. haha Yumyumyum.^^; My dad's dentist appointment was at this, yet another, huuggee mall! But this time, it was a Hong Kong mall. I always get a Tapioca drink when I go there! Tapioca drinks are sooo good. 8] This time, I tried the Pineapple Tapioca. =D It was really yummy at the beginning, but after a while, my mouth started to feel really weird. It's like a..um..numbish feeling. haha O.o I think it's because of the pineapple, they put real pineapples in there, and pineapples always make your mouth feel numbish. From er...my experiences at least. lol After my dad's appointment, we went shopping! Our whole car was loaded with food when we were heading home. -__-" We finally got home at 7 PM, after like an 1 1/2 hour drive. I was totally exhausted, so I didn't feel like updating. O__O OMG, btw, school is starting in 8 freagin days!!! I am so not ready....
