banddd <3

i am saddened that yesterday, competing season for band is officially over :'[...band this year was a great run, we all had our ups and downs, but we had it all together which is what that matters...im glad band really bonded this year compared to last year, and thank you to mr g, julie, scott, and more instructors for giving us a good year...i was saddened that we didnt home any awards yesterday, but it was the bonding time that mattered...we all had fun with our bandmates, and especially the seniors for one last time...its going to be so sad for us juniors when we are seniors next year, and we will be gone from LQ...it was good watching the UCLA band, man at first i thought the first several people were the only ones performing, next thing you know, KABOOM and like 300 more bruins came out...thier show was godly, man i hope i get to see USC now...please come out and support the Aztecs Marching band on Monday at bolsa stadium at Showcase...one last performance, and its time to put away Fantasmic :'[

fun night

ok so went to college fair at bola grande, davids dad drove me and alex there...then kevin and drake met us there...we took so many free stuff, lol...then we decided to go eat pho, and a guy that david and alex met back in ethan allen went with us...then drake went, and invited tam...so we had to fit davids dad, david, khoi, tam, alex, the ethan allen guy, and me in the car...so tam sat in the front and the 4 guys sat in the back...guess where i sat? i sat in he TRUNK!...lol it was very hot and i saw a light and touched it and it burned me! then it ook us like literally 20 minutes to get out the parking lot, and it was super hot in the car...so i tried to take off my jacket in the trunk, but instead, i kept on getting burned by the stupid light :[...and then wenever we go over a bumper, i would hit my head...and they never even bothered to tell me there was a speed bump coming up...lol, evil...then the guys played music and we all sang along after i was singing in the trunk...fun night, but now another thing to talk about...band...i think ppl who only joins band to get pe credits are douches...you should only be in there if you love it with a passion...underclassmans thought it was funny that we messed up, and dont even take it serious...then today, the stupid rachel girl was texting when mr g was talking to her...right in front of his face...mr g should have mae her run just for that...and she was also the one that complained about no being abl to go to disneyland...for all you bandos about complaining about not going to disneyland, i hope you are dedicated to this program because if you are not and decide to whine and crap about it, its your fault...i had thoughts about band the whole day...i thought that we should have like one day this week to practice band rehearsels on the field for like two hours...but the surprise is that we should surprise mr g and julie...i had the vision of us just secretly praciting, and when we start, mr g and julie would come out and watch us practice...i am sure they would be proud to see that, seeing us that we practiced as a group to clean up before the movement...i really wish that could happen, but i guess it cant :/...but imagine the feeling, just to impress and show our two instructors how much this program means to us, and make them proud...but that would be very difficult...

09/11/09

8 years from today was the historic day our country got attacked...8 years from today was when i watched the world trade center be destroyed...and finally 8 years from today was when thousands of civilians became heroes...although i was very young when the famous 9/11 attack took place, i know how much this situation impacts my life...when thousands of civilians ran out from the world trade centers, hundreds of officers, firefighters, and paramedics ran in to save the people knowing that the buildings will soon collapse...the reason you ask for me typing this, it is because of my profession...you all know im going to be a cop, and know to think about it, i will be proud...i know that i will have a high risk of dying, working down in LA, but i am absolutely fine with that...some people may think i am crazy of not being feared of death, but why must i be scared knowing what this country is becoming...this country is starting to be very populated with criminals, and it is changing very rapidly...the reason i want to be a cop is to be a hero, to proudly serve this country, and most importantly, to take part in changing this country into a better place...hundreds of officers, firefighters, and paramedics ran into the buildings knowing that they would die, why they ran in you might ask?...it is because they all have the same goal, and that goal is to change this country and so save people's lives...to think about it now, i am a proud member of the westminster police department, and soon to be proud when i am an officer...but the questions i ask myself when im with explorers or with an officer is: "What will happen to me next?"...when i am doing something involved with law enforcement, i always ask, "where will i be 20 years from now?"...i always wonder 20 years from now, will i be a proud officer working for this country living peacefully with my family, or will i be laying, hopefully peacefully, in my own coffin...i always ask myself that question, but i cannot decide, fate must decide for me..."Where will i be 20 years from now?"...anyways, school is pretty chill, all my classes are fun except english...it feels weird not being in english honors anymore...my teacher, ms. park, is so boring and the class is filled with rude and disrespectful students, such as minh dao, andrew bui, david vu, etc...it pisses me off, gladly i get to go home right after that...no more 6th period for me, so now i have more time to do hw and bring my grades up...no more tennis with me, -sigh-, i met them as a family and i still would like to play, but some of the members that ruined it for me...JV members are always asking me to stay, and i wish, but i just cant with the disrespect and immaturity from some of the members...with band in the other hand, were bonding much more, so im finding them as my other family, and i know this year will be a good year for band season...and some people might call me a quitter, but i know 4 more extennis players that quit the team with the same reason i have...and if a tennis player reads this and talks crap about me behind my back saying i quit and crap, well you better say it to my face and not say crap...i know people are already talking crap and me and my partner for quitting, but i hope you have the guts to say it to my face and not my back fags..

today

so went shopping with one of the explorers(jimmy huynh) for school supplies...he goes to our school btw...no where had good sales, went to staples to exchange my calculator and the old guy literally took like 20 minutes to exchange it, pissed me off...it was hot too...then got jamba juice and left to office depot...had nothing, so left to mall...got a few items and them went to price bargain...then had nothing so jimmy had to get cash from his dad, so we went there...apparently he moved, and the hispanics working there jacked his basketball net, lmao...then we headed back to the mall and shopped for clothes and such...then i met with with another explorer(jessica garcia)...she was shopping her bro, and they look exactly alike...then i asked her on what to get a girl for her bday, which was for kelly, and she takes me to victorias secret...we went in there and looked at perfume, and then jimmy kept on spraying perfume on me...then she told me to do some stuff in there, and after that, we left to spencers...then jessica directed me to bday cards with like buff guys on them, im like i dont think kelly would like those x]...then jimmy messed with the sex stuff back there, lmao...and then we left and here i am...we shopped for 6 hours...and my legs are dead...

regristation
