my soul was filled with crystal light


So I'm waiting for my Make It Or Break It video to load and everything (it takes forever *cries*) so I decided to look through my phone's photos and post some schtuff! And behold, this rainbow light thing at my friend's house from a couple weeks ago! Ahah I thought it was pretty so I took a picture of it and then I thought to myself "I'm gonna do one of those tumblr pics of a hand and a rainbow just 'cause!" So uh I did just that. I'm lame, I know.


And while we're on the topic of pretty things, I found these two photos of the sky from like exactly one year ago on this day and wow it's so pretty. I don't even remember taking it but to be honest it's not everyday I see the sky like this. Maybe because I don't look outside in the evening. Hmm. Oh well.


And here's a picture of me in the change room at a tournament just last Friday! As in the Friday that was two days ago. Unfortunately we came in 2nd place in the tournament but we still got cake (a chocolate cake with Kit Kat and strawberries and raspberries on top! SO YUMMY) and we had so much fun in the last game because we had already played so many games and we were all tired and starving and done. Hahah. We were laughing so hard on court at our own mistakes and it was just so funny and sad. But yeah.

FUCKS SAKE MY MIOBI VIDS HAVEN'T FINISHED LOADING YET. Ya know what? I'm gonna do some calculus homework. Okay bye.

P.S. look at my foot tan line oh gosh

Wow can I just please have something like this painted on one of my room walls? Or all of my room walls? Or all the walls in my house? This is just so beautiful.

je suis la femme de ma vie

veromato, me

Found this in my drafts from a while back, but I had completely forgotten about it! Since I feel like I haven't posted in a while, I suppose I'll post it now and give a quick update.

I've been so busy with volleyball lately that it's insane. This week, I have had volleyball every single day of the week (well, excluding the weekend). It went like:
Monday: practice
Tuesday: game
Wednesday: practice
Thursday: game
Friday: tournament

So hectic and did I mention I had tests and quizzes and presentations this week too?! But unlike last year, I actually enjoy volleyball now. Like, I don't know if it was my team last year, or the coach, or both, but this year I find myself actually looking forward to practices and games now! Last year, I think I was intimidated by the grade 12s (because the senior team is comprised of grade 11s and 12s) and the coach seemed to favour the better players. I mean, I don't blame my coach for favouring the better players because, well, they're better and she should focus more on them since she puts them in the game more, but me being, well, not as strong in volleyball (since I don't play club), my coach basically ignored me and it seemed like she didn't want to waste her energy on me. Like, seriously? I mean, I get that I'm not as good, but the least she could have done was help me to succeed and do better. But nope, she basically pushed me and my friend (who also wasn't as skilled as the other players) aside and didn't even bother with us. However this year, I'm actually on the starting lineup, and I actually like my team because I don't feel looked down upon by other players, AND I DON'T GET LOOKED DOWN UPON BY MY COACH. That is a huge thing that differs between last year and this year in my opinion. This year, I feel like my coach actually tries to help each and every one of us with our own struggles (for me, my serving) and he is actually funny and makes practices and games enjoyable. Plus he calls us stupid kids ahaha.

Anyway, enough with this huge sprouting of volleyball-related things.

So, in English class, we're currently reading 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck. Well, I kind of read ahead and finished the book, while the rest of the class is still on, like, page 30-something. To be honest though, the book was already spoiled for me when I was googling some things about Lennie and first, (I'm trying to word it so that I don't spoil it for others haha) what Lennie did got spoiled, and then I said to my friend "Oh my god, the book was spoiled for me." And little did I know, there was still another huge event in the book, and my friend spoiled it for me by saying "Oh, me too! The part where George ___, right?!" And I'm like "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!? GEORGE ___?!?!?!?!?!" So yeah, it sucks when that happens, but I was going to read it anyway, I suppose. But anyway, I actually enjoyed the book. Like, the beginning was a bit slow in my opinion, but as the book progressed, I was really enjoying it.

And speaking of enjoying things (okay that sounded weird), my math tutor explained some calculus to me about limits and I kind of get it now and I was actually enjoying the homework on limits (well, the introduction to it, BUT REGARDLESS)!!! Haha hopefully I will do better on the limits test, considering I got 55% on my functions test. Oh gosh. I really need to catch up on my limits homework though, I'm really falling behind in calculus. But I will use this long weekend (since it's Thanksgiving) to catch up. Hopefully.

Okay well, I'm gonna end this here.

post concert depression ugh


Look it's me! Half my face right there on the right side of the photo! Hahaha, this was in the line-up for Sagan's photo show.

But yeah, I have post concert depression. Like, I feel all bored and sad and everything now because the OF concert has come and gone and now I feel like I have nothing to anticipate anymore. Like, prior to the concert, I was looking forward to it for like literally 2 months. And yeah, the concert and photo show were pretty fucking great but now I wish I could do it all over again. Wah. I really hope OF comes back to Vancouver again soon!

P.S. listening to this really isn't helping:

ODD FUTURE CAMP FLOG GNAW TOUR @VANCOUVER

Yesterday I went to Sagan's Photo Show and the OF concert! Here are some pics I took. ^_^ (I was using my shitty iPod Touch camera though)

Sagan's Photo Show!

Only Tyler, Taco, and obviously Sagan were there. And Tyler seemed like he was in a bad mood. But I lined up at 1 pm and got in at around 2:30, but they started like over half an hour late. I fucking hate lining up for things but it was worth it ahaha. I got them to sign my Golf Wang book though (photo at the very bottom of this post)!

TACO <3 OMFG ILY P.S. I could feel his 'fro
Me looking awkward with Sagan
Tyler!
Another awkward pic yay

The concert:
Okay so basically I've been looking forward to this concert 2 months and I was so fucking excited!! Haha doors opened at 8 pm, show started at 9:30. I got there at around 5:45ish to line up. I was going to go earlier but my friend bailed on me last minute wah because her parents found out what OF was so they confiscated her ticket, so I had to get my sister to go with my last minute and since this was sold out, I had to get a last minute ticket off some guy on Craigslist for $70 which is like $30 more than what I paid ugh. But still, whatever, I wasn't going to go to a concert alone. That's, like, me awkward + going to concert alone = me 94858345574 times more awkward. In line, all you could smell was smoke and weed, like honestly. And there were some girls wearing those Missing Earl shirts and I was like thinking, he's not even missing anymore... Haha anyway, getting into the theatre was kind of delayed, plus apparently Tyler was having an asthma attack or something. But when Taco came out and started it was so crazy adskfsjlgf



What sucks is that Left Brain, Jasper, Earl, Syd, and Frank Ocean weren't there. It was just Tyler, Taco, Hodgy, Domo, and Mike G.

The photos look like I was farther away than I really was. I wasn't super near the front, but I wasn't near the back, either. I was kind of in the middle, and kind of to the right. In the middle middle there were so many kids trying to mosh like before the concert even began. And like, before the concert even began, security was like already saving people from the pit. But once it started and everyone was going like crazy and it started getting so hot and sweaty and I was sweaty with like not only my own sweat but other people's too, and thinking about it now makes me want to vomit but in the moment, I didn't really care because of OF haha. I can't remember the setlist now but maybe I'll find it if someone ever posts it but for sure they played songs like 'Orange Juice', 'Yonkers', 'Forest Green', 'Sam (Is Dead)', 'Benediction', 'We Got Bitches', 'French', 'Sandwiches', 'Analog', 'Burger'... I'm trying to list it off the top of my head haha. I'll update it later. And Domo Genesis apparently got his sock stolen when he was crowd surfing or something and complained about that haha, pretty funny.

Wish I could've gone to the Trash Talk aftershow at Venue! But it was 19+ so yeah.

Oh and here's my Golf Wang book that Taco, Tyler, and Sagan signed! Oh my god I love Taco. Haha. And I can't be sure, but is that weird thing above the "Hi =)" supposed to be a heart? Either way, it's cute as fuck aklfdjdgd;ghgf


But yeah, such a fucking amazing night and next time OF comes to Vancouver, I'm going again for sure.

ODD FUTURE CONCERT IN 3 DAYSSSS
brb pissing myself in excitement

2012-09-21

the daily news

Here comes a big post of dumb shit! How exciting. (But hey, IT'S FRIDAY! Yay!)

I don't even know where to begin so I suppose I could just start off with the first thing that comes to mind and just ramble on and on and throw in a couple of songs in between that I've been listening to lately and shove in some pictures of my evidently boring life so I can reflect on all this shit in the future.

So, to begin, I guess I will say that I made it onto the senior volleyball team! Well, I would've made it on even if I sucked at the tryouts because basically, there was only 11 girls there and my coach was willing to take 12-15 people on the team. And seeing as how there were less girls than he was planning to take, he didn't cut anyone obviously and that was basically the team. In fact, the second 'tryout', which wasn't even really a tryout, was more like a practice to be very honest. This past weekend, we already played our first game, in a tournament. I was a bit nervous going in there because we only had basically two practices prior to the tournament and I felt we weren't exactly ready, however when it came time for the games, we actually did pretty well, which I was surprised about. In fact, I'm proud to say that I was put in the starting lineup and I'm proud to say that I played pretty well! Well, I played better than I expected myself to, and so that's pretty great for me. I remember last year, how I just hated volleyball because I didn't exactly like my team (the grade 12s on my team, I guess) and I just didn't even want to be a part of the team or attend practices or games anymore (but I did anyway). I was sad because I really enjoyed volleyball in grade 10 because we won the city champs and went to the provincials, and then in grade 11 I just could not play at all and I was horrible. This year though, things have changed, and I guess I can say that I'm better than ever. Hah that just sounded cheesy as fuck! But really, I actually enjoy going to practices again and I actually can't wait for them. But what sucks is that my next practice is on Monday, which is the day I have no school. So I have to come to school at 3 for a volleyball practice despite the fact I have no school! Ugh. But at least I can still go shopping in the morning! I'm planning on going to Main Street and going to Front & Company and hopefully F As In Frank because it looks pretty cool in there.

Anyway I was listening to 'California' by Phantom Planet recently:



Many of you will probably recognize this as The O.C.'s theme song and yes while listening to this, I started thinking about The O.C. (which used to be my favourite show several years ago) and thinking about it made me feel kind of... nostalgic? That's not exactly the right word, but it made me want to rewatch the entire show with all the seasons and everything but I don't have much time at the moment so I'm planning to spend either my winter break or spring break basically sitting here watching The O.C. all over again! Hehe I remember doing that with Make It Or Break It a couple years ago! Actually, speaking of MIOBI, I really want to rewatch that too... Maybe I'll rewatch The O.C. in winter break and MIOBI during spring break. Yay! Now I'm actually pretty excited.

Oh um this is what I wore a couple days ago! Two days ago, on Wednesday, to be exact.

h&m shirt, charles & 1/2 varsity jacket, american apparel shorts nine west shorts, american apparel backpack (which you cannot see)

Yeah I was meaning to post this outfit but I just totally forgot about it and yeah. So here it is now! ^_^

Also, ODD FUTURE CONCERT IN 4 FUCKING DAYS! Oh my god I'm actually so excited! It's on September 25 and ahhhhhhh I'm so excited! Sagan Lockhart's having a photo that day too between 1-5 pm and as much as I would love to go, I don't think I'm going to, because I honestly don't want to cut class and also after school I think I'm going to go home, get ready, and then go line up for the concert. Sigh. Maybe I'll go, if I have time, but then again, I probably won't. I mean, I'd really love to go and meet OF in person but we'll see. I'll ask my friend about it and yeah.



Speaking of OF, here's a song I've been really into lately. 'The Daily News' by Domo Genesis featuring Spaceghostpurrp, Earl, and Action Bronson! I really love it, and but I don't think it's going to be in their setlist. Wah.

So today was the release of the iPhone 5! And being the cheap asian that I am, you know what that means? It means it's time to get the iPhone 4S because its prices are going to drop! Hehehe but seriously, I don't think I can afford the iPhone 5 right now, so I'm just going to stick with getting 4S. Besides, the 4S has more cases (and a big reason why I'm getting an iPhone to begin with is CASES! HEHE) and I don't mind having a 4S... even though the iPhone 5 is clearly prettier... and better... and did I mention prettier... OKAY I'm going to stop now. But at the same time, I want an Android too, like the Samsung Galaxy SIII, but the iPhone has more cases...

Anyway, school's been all right lately. Except for Calculus and Math. Those two are, well, killing me. And like, I don't know if I should ask for help. I mean, I should, but I hate asking for help because I feel so awkward, despite the fact that it would really help me out a ton. Well, meanwhile, I'll just continue to die quietly in the back the classroom. I'm kidding, but I'm going to go to my math tutor and get some help tomorrow. But oh god, I have a calculus test on Tuesday and I DON'T GET ANYTHING. Well, I get some things, but it's confusing as fuck! Ughhhhhh.

Oh and also here is a relaxing/kind of relaxing song that I've been listening to lately! ^_^ It's 'Werewolf' by CocoRosie and I keep falling asleep listening to it and I really love it.



So anyway, Artona is nearing! It's the graduation photos. I have group photo appointments booked on Friday, November 9 (no classes that day) and my individual graduation pictures booked on Sunday November 18. I'm going to get my hair and makeup done. My hair I'm not sure yet but I want a nice loose wave look, because I have a lot of hair since it's not really that layered and not thinned at all so I feel like if I do big curls, I'll look like a... lion. Haha but really. I'll probably go to some Asian hair salon (I'll have to go look for one that seems good) since I'm assuming they know how to work with Asian hair better. As for my makeup, I think I'll just go get it done at MAC. I'm hoping to go with a simple sweet smokey eye kind of look, but not TOO smokey. I hope they can do my eyeliner the way I like it, because my eye creases aren't very big (like, the area between my eyelashes and crease) so I prefer my eyeliner to be thin with a wing at the end, so that you can still see some skin between the eyeliner and crease, if that makes sense. But yeah.

As for my dress, it looks like this:


It's from BCBG Max Azria and I got it in the US and it was on sale, so I got it for about $130. I'm thinking about getting another dress, like a different dress for the group photos considering I want to wear this for the individual photos. The thing is, I'm super picky about dresses and I don't know if I will find another one I really like. If I do, maybe I'll buy it. If not, I suppose I'll stick with only one dress.

And people are already thinking about their prom dresses! Wow it seems so early to be thinking about them, yet alone buying them. I mean, prom isn't until June! But I was looking at some dresses online and I realized that I have no idea what type of prom dress I want. I mean, everyone's all into those dresses with like sparkly silver bands and stuff and I think it's kind of, well, ugly. I want a pretty and elegant one but I have no idea what style I want. Ugh. I should be focusing on school and stuff though, rather than looking for prom dresses for now. I mean, some days when I'm supposed to be on the computer doing homework, I find myself wandering on websites and looking through their dress selections! Ugh I need to control myself. Haha.

Oh and here's another song by Domo Genesis that I really like. I like the beat. The song's called 'Benediction':



Here's a few more songs I like:





I realized that I love MellowHype's BlackenedWhite album. Like, I listen to a lot of songs from that album, even though they have a newer album that's gonna be released soon: Numbers.

Anyway, I think I'm going to end it here.

P.S. I had a dream either last night or the night before (I honestly can't remember anymore) about my crush piggybacking someone else and I was being piggybacked too. I don't even know.
