Hey guys!
Well, I've been trying very hard to hide my sadness for the past week, and my mom thinks it's for a stupid reason.
The reason that I'm sad is
I failed a class.
No, not a class.
Two classes.
I've always been told that once you enter high school, your grades start to drop. But, I never believed it. Not even when the smartest of my friends entered high school and had their grades start dropping. I never believed it would happen to me. You know why? Because I have always been a great student since I began school. I never failed, was never even close to failing and all of a sudden I get attacked with two failures. I felt like a failure. I didn't want to believe it. I cried. I thought about it. I got sick from it and etc. I told my mom, and she said, "Why are you gonna keep thinking about it? Just throw it back, look ahead, and live your life happily. There's nothing you can do about it now." I truly took a full minute to look at her. I thought, 'Is she seriously my mom?' She was the one who always gave ME the pressure to do well, be the best because she believes I can be the best. She would scream over an 85. But, now she's so calm, I thought she was just saying it to make me feel better. But, it turns out, she really meant those words. Which made me feel even WORSE inside. I couldn't drop the fact that I failed at all. I kept thinking about it, and I couldn't even think straight or even smile sincerely.
Today, I was looking through MetalAznWarrior's blog, TVB Musings. I read one of his entries from awhile ago, and he wrote about him failing a major exam as well. While I was reading it, I thought, 'I can't do anything about the failing grades, but I can do something to change the future. Like MetalAznWarrior says, "Once you hit the rock bottom, the only way to go is back up." And that's exactly what I'm aiming to do. I'm going to go back up to where I used to be. No. I'm gonna climb even higher.' He truly allowed me to see that everything in this world is NOT guaranteed. It's effort that brings us success. Thank you, MetalAznWarrior, reading his blog entries, not only inspired me to climb back up to the top, but to climb even higher than I was originally.
"Sometimes falling is necessary. After a fall, you hit rock bottom; it hurts and makes you wake up from your dream and realize....
...And then, the only way to go... is back up."
-MetalAznWarrior
Thank you so much. :)

I'm a Bad Blogger.
We all know that.
I'm sure you all do.
I'm also well known to be blind and deaf too.
When people wave or say hi to me, I often just don't hear or see it.
Which makes people think I'm mean and ignorant.
But, seriously.
I don't see it. >:O
To get my attention.
All you have to do is,
S-C-R-E-A-M.
Or whack me on the back!
It's just that simple.

My Hectic Schedule
I so don't want my weekend to be over. I have such a busy, hectic schedule next week, beginning Monday. I just can't even IMAGINE what it's gonna be like. I'm going to start 5th period everyday next week, because I am not wasting any of my sleeping time. Studying will probably last until midnight each night, and I will probably not do so well anyway. I just finished like more than a week's full of Science homework, because of my teacher being absent for more than a week. We've got to catch up, so he threw us a handful of work for the weekend. Then, as usual, my health teacher always gives a lot of homework on weekends. Let me share with you my schedule for next week:
Monday: Science Quiz
Tuesday: All Science homework due, which is like a week's full of homework.
Wednesday: No School, but gotta celebrate friend's birthday.
Thursday: Science Quiz AGAIN, Health Test
Friday: Science Project Due
Not to include all the daily homework given from my other classes, and the unannounced quizzes or exams or even worse projects. I am so gonna lose my mind this week.
That's why, I need this song to accompany me on my crazy journey.

Someday We'll Know
I haven't updated in so long!
Well, the main reason was because I couldn't think of anything to write about. School has also been getting in the way, report cards are almost here! I'm a bit nervous, cause I screwed up my first and only health test for this marking period. But, I guess my overall grade wouldn't be bad, I hope. I'm trying to study before EVERY test, instead of just going in to take it and test my luck. I've never understood the importance of studying, cause I always thought, well, I learned it, I understand it, so whatever. But, now, I'm trying to get rid of my bad habits and study every night.
So, Halloween's coming up! (: What are you guys thinking of dressing up as? This year it's unfortunately on Saturday, so I don't think people would be dressing up in school, or would they? I was planning to be either Mickey Mouse or Stitch. Haha, or maybe just nothing and stay home and study. LOL, well, I'm not that nerdy, yet. I actually have a half (or less than half) day on the Friday before Halloween. It's 845 to 11:10. I wonder what I'd be doing after school. Shopping in SoHo? Hanging out at the park? Watching a movie? Eating in Chinatown? I guess I'll just have to do whatever comes to me. But the one thing I want to do most, is swimming. I miss swimming so much, and unfortunately, I couldn't join the swim team this year. (If you guys are reading this, NO! It's not cause of anyone/thing) I truly love swimming.
I'm so bored and feel so pointless at this moment. I don't feel like reading The Odyssey, even though, I'm getting tested on it on Thursday. It's just too boring for me and I'll be sleeping in less than 10 seconds. I studied a bit for my Health test and completed all my homework. I guess I'll just be enjoying musicccc for the moment. Let me share an awesome song with you, so you can enjoy as well.

The Odyssey.
The Odyssey was the first book my English teacher assigned for us to read. While other classes are happily reading through, "Romeo and Juliet" or "The Secret Life Of Bees", my teacher makes us read this 500 page poem. Even though, it says it's "translated" by Robert Fitzgerald, I don't get a thing that's going on in this book. All I know is that it's 10 years after the Trojan War, and Odysseus can't go back home. Oh big deal. I could care less. I have to bring it every single day, and most of the time, the teacher doesn't even use the book. It adds so much weight to my backpack and it's not like I'll be reading it during my free time at school. I just wish that my teacher would quickly wrap this book up, so we can read something new, hopefully more appealing and interesting.
I'm really not in a good mood these past two days. First of all, I can't complete my homework, because my printer isn't working. I tried fixing it, but I just can't handle it. Then, when I decide to go out on Monday to Soho with a friend, I have to help my mom, and stay home. Once my weekend is over, school is like a living hell. We get so much work, classwork and homework. The only happy thing about school is having fun and chilling with my friends. But, without them, I'd dread going to school everyday.
I've always liked listening to music while doing my homework, but I have never found the perfect song for it. I usually just listen to my favorite song of the moment. But, I have finally found the perfect song, and I'm just loving it.
Hope you guys enjoy!

Long time no Baby post.
It's been quite awhile since I updated my blog about our wonderful Angelababy. Well, one day, while I was roaming around Youtube, as the loser I am, I happened to find out, that Angela actually speaks ENGLISH. I was really surprised, since she was raised in Shanghai and Hong Kong, and people there, don't have good English. Well, for people up in Mainland China, not being able to speak English is understandable, cause you don't think people in Japan would know Spanish, would they? But, English is actually Hong Kong's official language, after Cantonese. The truth is, most Hong Kong people that don't attend International School's don't have fluent English. (Not all, cause some do have pretty decent English.) So, when I watched the video of Baby, I had no expectations of her English being even close to decent. I expected a strong accent, sort of similar to G.E.M.'s (no offense to G.E.M., but her accent was pretty strong when she first entered the entertainment circle. But, it's getting better!), but she surprised me. There was a slight noticeable accent and her grammar was a bit off, but overall, I'd give her a 7/10.

A Great Start.
This will be a pretty short post, as I will be getting ready to sleep soon, after I blow dry my hair. Hope you all have been having fun in school, and getting the good grades you deserve.
I have a feeling I am making a great start in high school. I'm building a great foundation and I feel that I finally fit in. I've made quite a few new friends. They're all really nice and very easy to talk to. They've helped me through my first two weeks of high school. They told me jokes, talked about school, tv, music, basically everything. High school starting to become a great place filled with great people that are well mannered. I loved junior high school, everyone, the teachers and my classmates, have helped me become the person I am today. They guided me step by step so I'll be ready for high school. Without them, I'd be nothing. Thanks to all the people who have been part of my life.
