the WICKED music our mb show is performing!
yeah! yeah yeah yeah! OH YEAH! hoorahh! my jie is totally back in action! at least i get her emails now! (:
and well, i was replying one of them and then realized i wanted to tell her a lot of things and type of a lot of stuff as i do in my blog and i wanted to blog at the same time. and since she's unable to load blogs right now and only check mail, i decided that i would blog in replying her.. killing two birds with one stone, you could say.
so here's my reply/blog post:
YAYE! i feel so happy now! i feel more connected because you'll be checking your mail daily right? :D
so the things i've been up to recentely are pretty much marching band related and deal with ALOT of soreness.
first though, I HAD MY WISDOM TEETH TAKEN OUT! ALL FOUR OF THEM... it was a friday (24th aug).
and when they put me on anesthesia, or however its spelled, i just suddenly fell asleep. like maybe 2 minutes before i fell asleep, the docs told me to just breathe in the gas and breathe out the nose. and so i did. and then before i knew it, they were waking me up! like i didnt even remember that i fell asleep! and it felt like i dozed off for only a minute or something. really wierd. and when you wake up, you're so, how to say.. well, when you talk, its like theres no filter between your brain and your mouth and you just spill out all your thoughts.. or well most of them.
so that friday i had yet to feel the pain and decided that it would be okay for me to go to marching band that was 5 hours later.. as long as i got some sleep before, which i did. and well, i could march the choreography, but not play my sax because everytime i tried to make a sound, my gum spilled blood! and got me so scared that i would bleed to death or something.. so after about 2 times i stopped trying.
uhh.. you know what i'm realizing? I'M BLOGGING TO YOU. ah.. sorry. i guess right now i should warn you huh? so anyway, LONG EMAIL AHEAD OF YOU.
btw, i havent blogged since last friday morning (24th aug). yes, that morning before i went for oral surgery. and all i've been blogging about recentely are about how much i miss you and how depressed i feel when you're mia. and then you were bia(back in action) and i was like YAYE!!
and i guess i'll just copy and paste this long reply on my blog as my blog post since right now i'm "blogging" to you. and putting a lot of redundant phrases. heh.
so friday night... little did i know what great pain the weekend had in store for me.. saturday.. GREAT PAIN. very grouchy. on the verge of a mental breakdown. sigh. oh and i woke up to swollen face! and wondering, how on earth am i going to play my saxophone on monday. and i was very upset because i hated the feeling of being left out on friday. i mean, yeah, i could just concentrate on my marching. but how am i supposed to stay happy when everyone's playing music and i have something to make music with BUT JUST CANT. oh the agony. and that thought just depressed me.. and then i had a fever..
sunday though, i woke up feeling less upset because i felt better. and my fever.. went down. (:
and then monday.. went to marching band camp and it was so hot. oh and i was able to play! oh yes! so now, every once in a while my mouth will have a sharp pain. and it'll go away and then come back. thank goodness my painkillers do kill the pain.
now i shall type about marching band. so my mom's.. i dont know.. upset about me being in marching band and that its too much energy and time consumption. which.. i'm dealing with it. but i dont know, i just love marching band.. but it is indeed VERY TOUGH and vigorous. man, its so true when my friends told me that marching band should be considered a sport and not a just an art for the cca's. at the end of the performance, you feel the same way you would feel after a tough game of football/soccer/tennis/lacrosse or after an extremely long run.
but somehow i still love it. i dont know why.. it just makes me happy to perform and be part of a winning team. because last competition we got GOLD! and hopefully we get gold again! lol.. i'm acting as if its all about winnning.
so yesterday's practice (tuesday) was VERY VERY TIRING. i think everyday we are marching and doing choreography for 3 hours. so glad that yesterday was the last day of band camp and well the next practice is next tuesday and its like once a week and we have shows on saturdays.
originally i was going to complain to you about how agonizing yesterday's practice was because i was really pushing myself. but then i've decided nah.. i should tell you more joyous news.. like the bbq they had after since it was the last day! i had this cheese burger with mustard and sweet relish and onions. and watermelon and potato salad and some macaroni. and then a bag of bbq lay's chips!
i think the best time i enjoy marching band is at night. when the sun is down and everything is cooling except being eaten alive by bugs.. thank goodness for bug spray! :D
OH YEAH!.. i forgot to tell you.. our show is based on the musical WICKED! GO DOWNLOAD THE SOUNDTRACK.. or at least the song defying gravity. if you really cant download then i'll try to send you.. i'm just too tired right now to rip the cd my friend burned for me..
i'm really sleepy now. but i plan to stay up a little while longer.. to play this game called tropico.. even though i should be working on that big load of summer work that is going to be due in 6 days, which is when school reopens. ahh!
i'm excited for school reopening, because i want to see everyone. although i wish i had maybe one more week.. just to finish my summer work load. but oh well.. blame my poor time management i guess..
well seeya! god bless you! got any prayers you want me to pray for? oh and tell me everything about your life like i've told you mine (except for that marching band complaint i had planned to complain like a complain queen about)
must tell me EVERYTHING. (:
I LOVE YOU JIE!

a la dentiste / Wednesday, August 15, 2007
need translation?.. ask lah (: (not talking about the song.. that, i dont really know what she's saying)
hier, mon frere et moi sommes alle a la dentiste et nous avons attendu pour beaucoup de heures. alors, nous avons joue un jeu.. les trois mots jeu, AU FRANCAIS! :
Il etait un petit pomme qui valait 1 000 000 Euros. Il etait triste car tout le monde ne voulait l'estimer comme qu'un bon chanteur. Personne ne realisa qu'il adorait une voiture verte qui fumait tellement trop.
un autre jour, tout le monde voulait qu'il chante. La voiture, helas, l'avait invite de au foot. Elle avait joue a l'eau, et ell avait le voulu d'etre le boule. Mais, Marseille destestant les pommes qui nageaint. Le pomme etait heureux qu'il pouva jouer au tennis et au foot avec la voiture verte!. (elle aimait aussi jouer au foot)
Mais, c'etait impossible parce qu'il n'y avait qu'une chose... les pieds! Alors, elle propasa qu'il devait aller au magicien pour acquerir les pieds et aussie les mains. Mais le pomme etait inquiet qu'il il ne deviendrait qu'un pomme qui ne jouerait pas. ou qu'il ne chanterait pas. Mais, elle le dit "Ne sois pas inquiet! Le magicien est un bon chauffeur. Il es un boule qui etait echante soi-meme."
"c'est ridicule! Je.." Elle l'arreta.
"Tu es ridicule!..."
"Je peux chanter. Il faut que je gqarde mes abilites. Je vais au.. non chanterai au concert pour tout.. Qu'est que c'est?! Pourquoi les enfants?"
Quelques enfants avaient nage dans la soupee.
"Ils sont fous!"
"Non, ils sont les vegetables et nous les entrainer d'etre bons chefs des oranges. En leur apprenant d'utiliser les couteaux..." __________________________
Apres, mon frere ne pouvait pas penser quoi il ait ecrit.
Alors, a suivre?.. ;)

you aint gotta flaunt for me / Thursday, August 09, 2007
i just realized... its national day! well, once again, happy national day!
oh and the reason why to take ap calc, besides the whole human anatomy in senior year thing, senior year, i get confirmed college credit (unlike the unconfirmed ap credits) when i take the course at usm, provided i pass.. which shouldnt be a big deal at all. (:
oh please God! let everything work out!!

what to do? / Wednesday, August 08, 2007
i'm in a huge dilemma. last week my brother complained t my mom about how junior year i'll be on the normal track of taking pre-cal, instead of themore advanced track of taking ap calculus. so now my family's decision is to skip pre-cal because its not needed as much and take ap calc. this way, senior year, i can take the extended math at usm, giving me confirmed college credit when i pass the course. so yes, its a very good decision to take ap calc junior year. BUT my schedule is already so crammed and inflexible. so what to do?
okay. my current schedule for next year:
blk 1 - apush 2- ap eng 3 - french 4 - physics 5 - ap music theory 6 - pre cal 7 - physics 8 - band
so lets say i put off music theory for senior year and if my bro's right about ap calc being block four, part of me hoping its not true and that calc is in a better block..
1- apush 2 - hopefully physics or chem, preferably physics 3 - french 4 - ap calc 5 - ap english 6 - precal or wind 7 - physics/ some other course 8 - band/chem
maybe this way i can take wind ensemble, finally. well, then i really hope that my schedule works out like so. this is my more preferable schedule though..
1- apush 2 - ap calc 3 - french 4 - physics 5 - ap english 6 - precal/wind (either way, doesnt matter as much 7 - physics 8 - band/other(if i can get into wind)
well, my dilemma is that my infexible schedule WONT WORK OUT. because then senior year, I WILL BE SQUASHED. and my chedule will be more inflexible. because lets say junior i dont take ap calc and i do take ap music theory and lets say i take physics. i dont know how my schedule will look, but heres the courses i will be taking
1. ap world hist 2-3. ap physics (sciences take up 1 & 1/2 blocks) 4-5. chem 6. ap eng 7. ap calc 8. band 9. human anatomy.
i would most likely be unable to take human anatomy unless they can squeeze those four blocks of sciences into 3 blocks, which didnt manage t work for me junior year. and if they do manage t squeeze, then out of ten days, i only have one day of study hall. instead of the usual 3/10 days. and the chances of that being so, considering it didnt happen for me this year, i dont know, but i think somewhat low. and so yeah, i just hope that everything works out for my inflexible schedule. i really expected the school or the guidance department to have done a better job at putting the schedule together and making it more flexible for everyone. and last year, i finally understood why guidance counselors, ARE NO HELP AT ALL. as mr skeff said, they have hundreds of students and cant remember them all. which part of me understands but most of me cant. in life you meet HUNDREDS of people. and hundreds become you friends. so what are but just a few hundred more friends?
oh please just let everything work out right..
cheerio.

dance floor anthem / Thursday, August 02, 2007
it was on the oc episode i was watching yesterday.
so guess what. my internet's BACK! oh yess!
i've been having a lot of wierd dreams lately. last night i dreamt that my class had finally graduated from high school. and janaye, some other friend.. forgot who.. and i went back. maybe it was sophie, or jamie, or laura or albie. anyway, we went back because we wanted to visit the band and do community service and help them out. like okay... community service?? alright. well, i guess its also related t my excitement for marching band this fall. i just love the thought of me traveling with my friends and playing music! i'm becoming a band geek. hahaha
also, in the dream, apparentely i didnt expect a few people t graduate. like that bookshop idiot and that history idiot.
another dream was of insects. i think it was my first time i dreamt of insects and their scariness. first there were three flies that were in the shape and design of bucklers like those in fate! except that they had stick legs, or insect legs. so i had no idea how t kill or smash them or even pass by them because they were huge! like the size of the head of my tennis racket!! so i screamed for my mom. and when she came another bigger bug came along. this time, A GIANT ANT. and it ate up those smaller insects. whew right? WRONG. well yeah, yay that all those buckler bugs are gone. but now, THERES A GIANT ANT. then my mom opened a hot oven. and i dont even know why it was preheated in the first place. and some how the giant ant FELL IN. and at this moment when i went over t the oven t open it up, the kitchen of this aparment turned into the kitchen of my dover flat. and the oven, TURNED INTO A FREEZER FRIDGE. wth??! and i didnt realize that until i woke up and surveyed my dream.. and when i opened the freezer door, another i didnt realize until i woke up, i saw the ant or human legs. and just the legs in blue pants. not jeans, blue pants. and there were some burn scars from the oven. and i thought, how are there burn scars caused from being in a freezer.. maybe they're frostbites. lol. and i woke up.
oh and i dreamt of the skiing idiot a month ago. cant remember what it was about.. oh well.
i've been playing tropico when my internet was gone and all that mexican and latino music makes me very happy. watching the oc on soapnet also made me very happy. i love it so much. how i wish they could just continue making new episodes and airing them on the net. like a profit free organization for the oc. hah. like thats ever going t happen. need profits one. thats what the world of entertainment is about.
im so glad that theres one more week of tennis since i thought that tomorrow would be the last lesson.
