Hello! I feel like I should re-introduce myself, I havent written in such a long time! Well, a lot has happened since the last time I wrote. For one, I have been living alone, without my parents for almost a month now. I have been doing really good! I was a little depressed the first week, but now I am so happy! I am loving my classes, and my roommate. I have also met a lot of new people, which is always fun. The reasoning for my lack of writing, is because I have so much homework! All of the time! Its ridiculous!! But, I am really loving life right now :)
As I type, it is raining outside, and the sun is shining through black clouds and hitting the red, yellow, and orange trees. Its quite lovely actually. The weather is definitely starting to cool down. A lot. I wore my rain boots today, which was fun! I love that when I walk to class, squirrels dart across the sidewalk ad the trees are changing colors! Its really beautiful!
I have successfully ridden public transportation to the mall! I feel so successful! I would actually feel a lot more successful if I had done it by myself, alone. But, I think that is a little too scary. There are some real creepy people that ride the bus!
I have yet to go to a football game!! :( The ducks are number 1 in the PAC 10! and number 2 in the nation! We are doing really good! It feels so good to finally be a part of a school with a WINNING football team! I was really getting tired of being a part of the losing team! Finally, we are winners :)
I love walking around my campus. It is so pretty. Gorgeous. Stunning. Lovely. Breathtaking. I could honestly go on all day! All of the buildings are made of brick, there is greenery everywhere. Seriously, its everywhere. There are over 400 types of trees on the campus ALONE. I think that is incredible!
I have fallen in love with coffee. I never thought it could be possible. But, there it is! My favorite place is Dutch Brothers, Their coffee is amazing and a half!
I currently have a cold sore on my tongue.....It is really sore, especially when I drink water hahaha
Well, I am thinking that this is all for now.... I have to go off to my Writing class!
(Oh, speaking of writing class, my teacher is really annoying! She has the most annoying high-pitched voice in the world and when she talks to you she's smiling and her voice is "happy" but she is yelling at you at the same time. Its so annoying!! Thank God its already the 5th week of school!!)
Oh, one more thing. I had a Philosophy midterm, and I get the results on Friday! And, I have another midterm on Thursday!!
Wish me luck!
Until.....later?

October 2nd, 2010
The last time I blogged, I was just a bored kid during the summer. Now, I am officially a University of Oregon student! I am writing this from my dorm, and It is currently 70 degrees inside. Outside, Id say its around 55-60 degrees. My roommate, Natalie is at the Blackout game tonight, so Im in my dorm with Megan watching movies. Hamilton has a "mini-blockbuster" where we can rent movies and games for free! So, we rented a bunch to keep us busy until Natalie comes back with Krystal. University of Oregon is playing Stanford tonight, and hopefully they'll win! Thats another thing about Oregon...Everyone is so spirited and the entire city of Eugene is a college city. Which, is so nice! I love that wherever I go around town, theres either a duck, and "O", or the school colors. Its really quite uplifting!
Saying goodbye to my mom was probably the hardest thing ive ever had to do. I did not want my mom to leave because then i would be alone. Even though i would have my roommate and Jenna...I wouldnt have my mom, who is the reason I live. She is what I live for, I love her so much. You could say Im a "mama's girl"...but it wouldnt be insulting, i would only agree :)
Once my mom left, I was a complete wreck. I dont think i was more depressed in my life. It sounds like im exaggerating, or like im a "big baby" because im an adult....but adjusting to life away from home is really hard! And to deal with it, I had to tell a lot of people to get their support. I had my roommate of course, and Megan, and Jenna...But then I also made friends with people in classes and told them too. And then I told my FA. Then I talked to my RA about it for a couple hours, which I found to be the most helpful, and Shes a really good friend now! And lastly, I talked to the lunch-lady. Yes, I did. It sounds weird, but its true! As I was paying for lunch or whatever it is i was eating, She asked how I was. And she was probably expecting, "Fine thanks, how are you?" But no. I replied, "Im homesick" And it wa really helpful! because she made me realize that everyone at college is in the same boat.
Starting my classes was also a huge help to getting over my sadness of being away from home. Once classes started I felt so much busier, and I was. Like, right now i really should be reading my 100's of pages, starting my handful of projects, and writing those essays. I have only been in school for 5 days and already I am swamped with homework. But, it IS college, and supposedly, it is HIGHER education. I guess that means its hard?
So, now it is 1am...me and Natalie just walked in the door. We were over at Carson's, which was amazingly fun. It is freezing cold outside, its like 50 degrees with a windchill. I, like a dumbass, was outside in a T-shirt and slippers. Theres still a party in my hallway, and people yelling outside. We ended up winning the game, which is awesome! The score was 52-31! Everyone is really happy. Really, really happy. Over-the-top happy, its almost unnecessary. But, it does feel really good to finally be a part of a school that wins for once, and is loved by the school!
Well, tomorrow is my homework day...since i waited all weekend to do it, and now is the only day to do since i go back to school on monday...I will try my best to blog everyday, but as you can tell...ive been quite busy! But, I promise you, I will try!
Until whenever I have time!

Okay, I couldnt wait until I got to Oregon to write...I leave in 4 days! This is crazy! So, my friend Tori and Sierra left a couple days ago, so it really is just me left on the island! I havent started packing yet. I am so excited!!! Im listening to Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream' as I write this, and that song always gets my heart racing! I love it so much! haha So, anyways...I plan on packing tomorrow, since thats really my only day to do it.
So, my mom is doing a furniture sale tomorrow...have I written about this?? Well, just in case I havent: My mom has ties with the Fairmont Kealani in Wailea, and theyre giving her all of their furniture. Theyre remodeling their resort, which is about 900 rooms of furniture!! So shes going to have about 900 TVs, sofa couches, nightstands, armoires, patio tables, patio chairs, and curtains. All of this stuff is only 4 years old and its all super nice! Plus, the greatest thing about it is that everythings under $40! Which, in this economy, is amazing.
Anyway, now that my advertizing section is over, haha. Im really sad I cant bring my bunnies with me! Im not going to have anyone to take care of but myself! Its going to be a huge change!
Well...I think this is all Ive go to say for now!
Until tomorrow!

Sorry. Ill admit it, I completely forgot about this blog of mine...
A LOT has happened since we last wrote...I dont know where to begin! Well, I graduated 2nd in my class! That is an honor that i am proud to uphold. My dad and stepmom flew in from california to watch me walk the line, which was great. Except for the fact that my mom and dad fought the entire time. Not, directly to eachothers faces, but through me. Which turned this huge, happy moment into a cry-fest. But, im over it. I was also very upset that i didnt see my dad at all during graduation. That tore me up inside.
My mom and stepdad opened their gun store and scrapbooking store, which is doing extremely well!! Im so happy for them!
My laptop that i have is a piece of crap, so im going to be switching to a MAC. Im excited for that!
My job at Rubys was fun for the time being, it came and went super quick.
This summer actually went by really fast.
Im going to leave for oregon in 5 days. I need to start packing.
Ill write again when i get there!

April 11th
Okay I know i havent written in such a long time, i apologize. But, i do have a legitimate excuse, i was busy! Thats always the case, but it really, actually, truly is the case.
I have been completely swamped with school, college apps, scholarship apps, job searching, graduation announcements, Kiki and her never ending cycle of birthing, weddings, eating, living, and everything else! UGHHH its like i never have time to just sit and breathe, except right now. but im doing this out of guilt so it doesnt count.
Anyway, i guess ill start at the beginning! One of my step-mom's three tumors shrinked half in size! This is great news, of course, however there is still half of that tumor and three other giant tumors to go until she is completely cancer-free and then they have to cut off her boobs. I dont even know if she is going to be able to come to my graduation! I mean it would surely make my mom happy because she doesnt like her, for whatever reasons i have no clue. but thats totally out of my hands no isnt it?
My dad texted me the other day and said that he booked a ticket for my grandpa, which of course is awesome!!! I am so thrilled that he is going to be able to see me graduate even though my grandma wont be there. However, i suppose she will be there in spirit. And im going to be wearing her necklace, so shell be there double-time. I really want to see her again, hold her hand, talk to her, smell her perfume. Life sucks.
As for college goes, its safe to say im going to be an Oregon Duck! I couldnt be happier! Green is just SO my color! I know i am absolutely going to absolutely LOVE it there! I cant wait for college!
School is...well....blah. as usual! Calculus is getting really hard and I made a complete fool out of myself the other day in front of the entire class because i didnt know how to do the problem and they were all like "Wow shes so stupid. I thought se was smart, this problem is so easy" ughhhh its so irritating! And in AP euro its no better! Im failing because of the exam and quizzes i failed :( thi makes me so sad. however, i know i didnt study, so thats the grade i deserve i guess. I need to raise it though, its the last quarter! cmon jasmine! the rest of my classes are TA classes basically so yeah.
My rabbit Kiki gave birth on march 13th to 6 babies, and 3 of them died :( we took the remaining 3 to the pet shop to sell them, but one of the babies has a gimpy leg so they wouldnt take him. i dont know what im going to do with it!! i sure as hell dont want it. not because its "broken", but because we dont have space for a 5th rabbit. that is ridiculous. i need to get rid of him ASAP! so my readers, if theres anyone out there...if you want a free bunny, let me know!
Dinner tonight is pork adobo, my favorite. im so excited to eat! and hey, i think i can be excited for school tomorrow too :) After all, things may only look up if you allow them to.
Until Whenever!

March 17th
13 days without writing. I feel bad, as though ive neglected a pet or something, or been late to an interview. Anyway, a lot has gone on in these almost 2 weeks, so i guess ill get typing!
My lymph nodes became inflammed a couple days after i last posted. Believe me, it is not something i would wish upon anyone. Well, maybe a few people. haha. I went to the doctor and the doctor said: rest! and he prescribed me codeine for the pain and antibiotics to kill the bacteria. He also eneded up giving me an inhaler because my breathing was so restricted. I ended up missing 2 days of school because the codeine made me really drowsy and fatigued, also, the pain was so intense! A day after i started taking the codeine, my wrists swelled and i couldnt move them. I think it was a crazy allergic reaction to the codein, but whatever it was, it was very painful.
On March 13th, my rabbit Kiki gave birth to baby bunnies! again! It was very exciting at first, however, i found that 3 of them were either stillborn or she had killed them. It was very shocking and depressing :( However, the ones that are left are adorable as ever! There is one black, one brown, and one white and brown. although our plan is to sell them, i know i will probably end up keeping one! Bella had to move out of her mothers cage because, you cannot have another rabbit in the cage with the mother and her babies. So, we had to buy her a separate cage.
It is spring break now, and i am so exhausted. The NFL is here aznd theyve sold out almost all of the hotels!! I know, its absolutely crazy. And even more so, because our family takes the recycling from the Fairmont, and there has been 3 HUGE loads, im talking like monumental size truck loads of recycling! just in these 2 days. AND, I did the first load all by myself, the second load my cousin and I, and the third, my cousin and I, and my brother did all of about 4 bags. I think its ridiculous that he got $40 bucks for doing like 4 bags, but i got paid $100, so whatever.
Tonight for dinner we had corned beef and cabbage, which was absolutely delicious :) I love St. Patricks Day.
Until Whenever!

March 4th
Happy March! Well, not really. Around the beginning of this week, my lymph nodes got inflammed and swollen. Which, might i add, is extremely, and beyond excrutiatingly painful. After school on Tuesday, I went to the doctor's office, and let me tell you, scheduling an appointment for 4:15 does NOT mean that you get in at 4:15. I finally saw the doctor an hour later. ugh. The doctor prescribed me anti-biotics and an inhaler, because i have been having trouble breathing. I couldnt go to school Wednesday or today because i am in so much pain, and the medication makes me so dizzy and lethargic. Im a mess! Luckily though, tomorrow is a furlough day, so i dont have to go to school! Anyway, today I woke up crying because the pain was so bad. I couldnt even move. My mom called the doctor and he called in Codeine to numb the pain. Thank God! Im on it now, and i cant hardly feel a thing. I am really hoping this goes away quickly, so i can go back to school. I know that sounds crazy, but i miss my friends!
So, my bella is growing up so fast! It seriously seems just like yesterday, she was born. But, im not worried because just in a few short weeks, Kiki will give birth again to some more beautiful babies :)
We got the shipment of girl scout cookies in today. There are over 100 cases in our house!! thats 1200 boxes of girl scout cookies. in our kitchen. and living room. and hallway. Oh my.....
Until Tomorrow!

Wow, so again, i havent posted in awhile. Okay, so ive decided that i should hope on posting once a week. Our student government started our Senior Song Practices and i couldnt hate them more. So, for one thing, our song sucks. Its reggae. or course. and it uses the worst possible english ever! its so annoying. "Going college working hard for have one better life" its like my 7 year old sister wrote the damn song. Why? They could have chosen a song with more meaning, but no, that would be too much to ask of our student government.
My step mom is doing okay so far, my dad just says that she tries to go to work everyday, but is sent home. Everyday. Then on top of all of this, my dad has to fill out paperwork for financial aid to Notre Dame. Its just a lot of drama, and im seriously sick of it.
I am still in the process of searching for a job. with no success.
Whole Foods opened, and its like walking into the mainland when you walk in there. all of the cashiers are white, and everything is like so Paia its crazy. its lkike a twilight zone. insane.
well, unfortunately my parents are calling me so i must leave.

February 19th
Today was a very emotional day. So theres this kid like in every single one of my classes. Last name: starts with an F. My readers, im sure you can figure it out. Well, ookay he is beyond annoying and considerably rude, whether he notices it or not. So, I found out today that he told his BFF that our english teacher gave us extra credit. Well, now shes probably not even going to give it to us. This hugely pisses me off. A lot. Howver, its not just this one incident that drove me to hate him. He also blew off my best friend Heidi for a girl that was totally "out of his league", if hes even in one. Then, i started hating him, because, I think its like a "girl rule" that when someone is rude/disrespectful/stupid/annoying/mean to a friend, you return the favor. So, i have been for like my entire senior year. This week, he finally got the message and flipped me off in class. Then he gave me the death stare for all of AP European History. Is it getting to me? Maybe. Am I sad? Hell to the no.
So, tomorrow my group is going to film our video...again. because, apparently the first video wasnt good enough for the "king". So, i have to waste my day doing crap for a class i couldnt hate more, instead of going to whale day!!!
Whatever. My friends will be there, so it should be fun.
Till Tomorrow

Wow, I havent posted in awhile. I apologize, my invisible readers. So what has gone on the past two weeks? Well, I am finally, finally done with the Senior Project. Finally. It is out of my life, forever. And, forever is a long time.
A cancer update: My step-mom is in her 3rd stage of breast cancer, and will be having her first treatment on Friday of this week. The 19th. I cant even begin to believe that this disease has hit so close to home. It is completely unfathomable and ridiculously malicious. She is already going through so much pain, and cant go to work, although she tries everyday to work, they always send her home. Her strength is indominable, as is her spirit. I cant stand to see her like this, let alone my dad. This whole thing is so depressing and un-promising. I hate it with every drop of hate i have.
The NRA event is a little less than a month away, and i am so excited!
Well, Thats all for now I suppose.
Until whenever

So lately ive been moping around, putting on a happy face so noone can see my tears. I dont mean to sound so morbid, its just that well, this situation is as depressing as it gets i guess.
On a higher note, its my sisters 7th birthday tomorrow! And, were going up to Piiholo Stables to ride horses and EAT! I love eating, but i really gotta cut down..HA HA yeah right.
I read all of chapter 23 of AP European History today, and took notes! I am desperately trying to raise my grade in that class. Which, i have a D in :(
Its so hard to talk to my dad now, its like everyone knows the same conversation starter: How's Dayna doing? Any more news with the doctor? We dont talk about us anymore or laugh. at all. it sucks. a lot.
Anyway, tomorrow should be fun.
Until then

February 1st
Friday night I found out that this year wont be much different from last year. Last year, I lost my beloved grandmother, my angel. On friday night, my dad called with the horrible news that he and his fiancee of nearly a decade, have gotten married. I was petrified at the news. It made me so incredibly angry that they would get married without me there. That was until, he told me the reason of their sudden elopement.
My dad's fiancee has breast cancer.
I cried and cried and cried and cried and cried.
Its so hard to believe. i completely forgot that they got married, and focused more on my dads tears. They only other time ive ever heard my dad cry is when he called to tell me about my grandmother's death.
She has it in both breasts, and there is a huge amount in each.
Now im facing the possible question of whether he will come to my graduation in May, or help pay for college. I know it may seem selfish, but its just a thought. an important thought at that.
So, lately my thoughts have been entirely in california, which is not helping me in school at all.
Until tomorrow

Day 12/13
So...again, i skipped a day.
Yesterday my mom came home! I was so happy to see her, I completely forget what happened the rest of that day.
Today was a Furlough Friday! In Hawaii, they created Furlough Fridays, aka, they got rid of fridays...forever. Which is good for us, but bad for teachers. but, they can just get over it because they chose to have furloughs. After my mom and i dropped off the kids at school, i went with her to her doctor's appointment. Which, was fun. I looked at women's magazines and took pictures of random things. I have an ear infection, so after the appointment, we went over to Long's, and got medicine. Then we went over to Walmart, because i love it there. I absolutely love it there. and we needed stuff. Then, we went home and got ready for the Brownie meeting after school. My mom is the troop leader, and im the assistant. I think its a really good thing, well i mean, even though i dropped out of the "girl scout" thing, i wish i wouldnt have. That was fun, we taught the girls how to make an oven out of a cardboard box, foil, and saran wrap. Its actually pretty amazing. However, when we got there one of the teachers told me that my sister was really sick. and she was. Ive never seen her so bad, she cant walk and she threw up in the parking lot.
When we got home, i got my sister in the bath and then we watched Twilight while dad made our soup. I kinda like being sick, you get A LOT of attention that way, and you get things handed to you left and right! Its amazing.
So, i havent gone to the gym in 2 days. I feel i should but i have so much homework its crazy!!! im so stressed out its ridiculous. i have to bring up a D, do my calculus project, all my homework, and prepare for the senior project presentation.
Well, Until Tomorrow

Day 10/11
I skipped yesterday. Ive been so stressed lately, this blog thing is becoming crazy, just like i knew it would. Anyway, yesterday was truly nothing special. But then school ended! I went over to the Autoshop at school and...(drumroll please)...My truck was fixed!!!! Im so ecstatic! Then, Mary and I went over to Kathy's house to shoot our video. That was so much fun! I really never knew that kathy was serious when she told me about her home in the past. I felt really sad, but her happiness and her mom's welcoming smiles and humor just told me that everything was okay. They have such good views of everything, their glasses are always half full. I really like that. Shes a really good friend of mine. Im really lucky.
Then, I went to the gym with heidi, we did the stair-stepper and i attempted to climb the Eiffel Tower, and failed. but too bad. Then we went on the treadmill! After that, we went dowstairs and lifted weights. Overall, yesterday was a good day.
Today, was again, just okay. it was just another day. Except, it rained! I love, love, love the rain. There's something about it that just lifts my spirits, while it drags everybody else down. I love the look, smell, and feels of it. everything about the rain is hypnotic. Especially watching rain fall on the ocean. Thats a miracle and a half.
I had to skip the gym today, because i have to study for a HUGE AP euro test tomorrow. Its 2 chapters!! vGod, sometimes i think teacher are heartless. But, then again, it is AP.
Dinner tonight is spaghetti. I love spaghetti.
Until Tomorrow!

Day 9
I did not want to wake up this morning. well, i did, but not to go to school. It could be because i started the day with period 7: the class where the teacher doesnt teach us, i dont learn anything and im not challenged, and the hobo is in that class!
Period 1 was not any better. Mr. Sushi does not like me at all, he has no respect for me or my work just because im new to his class. i try so hard to please him too! hes a jerk. Recess was fun because i spent time with kathy and ate oreos :)
Period 2 was only fun because Koala is amusing, hes a good teacher, and lindsey wrote all over my hands! I swear i have the best friends. Period 3 i had calculus. which was okay. as it always is. just okay. id love to say it was so much more, but i cant because id be lying. Lunch was only good because i spent it with people i admire and never stop laughing with. The lunch was some odd whole wheat macaroni and a lame excuse for cheese, with chicken nuggets injected with water. yum?
I wont even go into period 4.
After school, i visited with my bunnies who were so happy to see me! Then i got homework done, ate curry for dinner and went to the gym with heidi!
The gym is always so much fun with heidi. we talk and talk and talk while sort of encouraging eachother, just being girls. Gossipping, laughing, and smiling. I love my best friend.

Day 8
Today was an exciting day! So, my hair was curly from sleeping in a braid, and i felt so confident! I channeled my inner Taylor Swift, and it was great.
My aunt picked me up at 7:30am to go recycling. I dont really like doing the recycling down there because they have like a HUGE influx of centipedes, knats, roaches, and rats. Its gross. Nonetheless, we got through all of it in an hour. (picture below).
We also drove by this super cute mini cooper, with surfboards on the top of it! It all matched too!! (Picture below).
After that, we came home and we ate spam musubis! I love asian food.
Then i finished reading the first 100 pages of Pride and Prejudice. That book has so far been...interesting/boring. i know those two contrast eachother, but that just how it goes.
My dad comes home today! Im so excited!
Until tomorrow!

Day 7
Well, i have officially had this blog for a week! This calls for some monumental event to display my abilities to stay committed!! But, instead, Im at home...microwaving carnitas and serving it with day old rice and canned corn. yum.
So, last night i went to my aunt's house for spaghetti dinner. which, in fact was very enjoyable. after all the events that happened this week, it was very nice to have some other people to spend my time with. (and to watch the kids for me, haha). So, after dinner, me, my brother, sister, and cousin played mario kart on the wii, which let me tell you, im not very good at. i hate it when i lose, it makes me so mad inside. just like when someone tries to tell me im wrong about something that i know im completely right! it drives me insane!
After our driving lessons, my cousin and i went to see The Lovely Bones, which was a good movie, the main character, Susie, did a really good job. However, it was a little creepy. But, nonetheless, a great movie.
Today, I had the house and day entirely to myself. entirely!! I got all of my homework done, except for studying and reading. but, that can be done tomorrow. And, i got all the laundry done, 5 loads!! I also got to watch Teen Mom, and Where The Heart Is, and The Pregnancy Pact. it was a very productive day.
My dad comes home tomorrow, which im so so so thrilled about because the kids will officially be off my hands! and, i miss them.
Tomorrow, the plan is for the kids to go to church with grandma, and i will go recycling with aunty and my cousin.
Until then.

Day 6
Today was fun. So, as i was driving my brother and sister to school this morning, they didnt talk. at all. not one word. it was creepy, but a good creepy. I got to school by 7:30am, and hung out with lindsey, tara, and chris before class. I had calculus first, which was okay..nothing special really. Then we had an assembly! The assembly today was "Boy's Cheerleading". aka, EPIC. I sat with lindsey, kathy, and tara. we yelled so much and jumped up and down and danced in our seats. basically, we were obnoxious! But, it felt so good to yell my brains out after the past few days, it was like a therapy of sorts.
So, after that we had a recess and i ate my barbeque chips. yum.
period 4 was a TA period, again, enough said.
period 5 was productive because im a TA for that class too, so i read Pride and Prejudice :)and im actually coming to like it, its funny, and interesting.
lunch was good and bad. we didnt hang out in our usual hang out spot, because lindsey and i had to take a quiz in Koala's class. [ :) ] which i failed!! i cant even begin to believe it!! my mind has just been so full of things lately. the good part was that we had barbeque chicken for lunch!!! amen for barbeque sauce!!
period 6 was ceramics, i worked on my vase, which i think has got to be the ugliest vase ever. but that just me, even though tori says its not...i think it is. So, im still not sure what design i want to put on it, or what colors to paint it...suggestions??? anyone??? is there even anyone out there?
Tonight, im going to my aunt's house for spaghetti dinner :) my favorite dish. ***sigh***

Day 5
I cracked. I'm under so much pressure its unbelievable. So, today the kids fought and fought. My senior project is due on february 3rd, i have an AP euro test tomorrow, I don't understand my calculus, and I have to read 100 pages of Pride and Prejudice by Monday! Who would'nt go completely crazy?? But, i called my mom and she made it all better. aka, she sent in reinforcements: aunty and grandma. Then i got to get lots of homework done, which made my horrible day 100 times better.
I still feel like broken though. im not sure why. Im so stressed out. Its probably because i have to present my Senior Project in 3 weeks, and i have to get a paper signed by my mentor who lives in california and he has yet to email me a fax line...if he even has one....
Anyway, I really feel like blogging about all this has gotten me to calm down even more, and it gets me thinking about things that are important to me, besides school work.
I better run now though, my eyes hurt from crying. Hopefully tomorrow will be a much better day.
Until then!

Day 4
I'm actually really mad today. So, remember yesterday? how i said my brother and sister were being so good? Yeah, that ended...today. Why muct they constantly argue? Why can't they do anything besides watch TV, or play the Wii? I remember the good old days(when i was a kid), we all played outside, or played with our non-violent toys. So my brother had been watching TV since we came home from school at 2:30, then he played the Wii. I told him to turn off the TV and read or play with toys. what does he do? he cries.... he always cries! im so sick of it. i mean cmon, hes 9 years old!!
Enough about that, so i got them ready for school, and whats the first thing they do once we get in the car? ARGUE.
Once i got to school, i was actually happy to be away from them for awhile. 2nd period was great because my best friend lindsey is in that class and we joke and draw pictures of the teacher as different animals. our favorite thus far has been a koala. at recess, there was a fight, so me and lindsey ran over to where everyone was crowding around, but we got there too late because we saw nothing. i actually dreaded going to 3rd period, calculus. just because i havent been understanding it lately, but its not like i can stay afterschool, because i have to pick up the bickerers. 4th period was my TA period with my other best friend, mary. enough said. lunch was really good, pastrami sandwich. mmmMMMMmmmm. BUT. i forgot my backpack in my art class, which had all my mayo in it. and i didnt get any mayo at the caf because i knew i already had some. however, my art teacher left her room and locked it, bag inside. so, i was in distress. until! lindsey came to the rescue with, not one, but 2 packs of mayo!! 5th period was boring because i have nothing to do in that class, except people watch, and theyre not interesting at all.
After school, i went home and checked on my rabbits. theyve gotten so big so fast! i also got the mail. ive been expecting some more college acceptances. but i have failed to receieve any more :( i did get a teenvogue though!!
Okay, so then...the dreaded time. i went to pick up my siblings. oh my gosh! who would have guessed! the first thing they did when we got in the car was.....(drumroll please) ARGUED!! over backpacks and where they go in the car. wow fascinating.
so now im home, and about to go and cook dinner. im thinking pineapple sausages, rice, and green beans.
why dont i have any more followers yet? comments? anyone?

Day 3
The first day without my parents! I never thought it would be this easy. My brother and sister have really only argued twice today!
So, I didnt really sleep all that well last night, because i had to end up sleeping with my sister on her hard, uncomfortable matress, which was nonetheless much too small for my liking and comfort. However, i felt really good inside because she called me the "best sister in the world" :)
Then i got them ready for school and did everything before 7am!! And, i dropped them off and got myself to school by 7:45am!! MIssion accomplished? I think so.
School was...oh ill be honest, it was boring. But! 5th period, which was first, was fun because its art, which i love. There was an assembly today, and my art teacher agreed to let me stay in her class with my friend lorie because, lets face it, our school sucks overall. especially when they try to be "spirited". period 6 was ceramics, so of course...art...i loved it. were working on vases now, and im almost done, ill upload pics when im finished. period 7 sucked as usual. im not too sure what i think of that class anymore. i mean, english is among my favorite classes because im so good at it and i enjoy reading. however, although im in an advanced placement class, i dont feel as though im being challenged. at all. its too easy, the work is repetitive, and i dont feel that the teacher is pushing me or teaching me. lunch was the best part of all, because i hung out with my friends, who made me forget about how sad i was about my parents leaving. then there was 1st period. i wont even get into that.
After school, i walked to the parking lot. okay, the kids at my school are complete idiots. when someone is waiting to cross the street, dont you wait for them? instead of speed up and block the crosswalk?? seriously i cant believe this is my class..or better yet our future..i mean jesus!!
I went top the post office to take my mom's package to be mailed. then i went straight up to st. anthony to pick up my brother and sister. Then we went home and they got their homework done fairly quickly, then we were off to Taekwondo. that class is unbelievably intense. i almost cried just watching them get yelled at. it was crazy.
So, after that, grandma jenny took us out to dinner! which was super exciting because i didnt have to cook dinner :) YES!
Until tomorrow!

Day 2
I can't believe I'm actually keeping up with this, I feel so good inside, like im doing a good deed or something. Anyway, so here I sit, on the floor, type, type, typing away while my brother and sister play the Wii.
It's raining here on Maui, which is a nice change from the normal sunny and humidity we're used to. However, I know the animals outside aren't too happy, but it's not like I can just let them in, they're all muddy!
So, my mom and dad left with our aunt to go recycling around an hour ago. See, we go on trips out of the country, and we got a deal with a local hotel to take their recyclables and they'll let us keep the profits. It really is a good thing for many reasons, however gross it may be going through peoples' trash.
It's my parents' last day here because they leave for Vegas and LA tonight to attend some conventions. I will baby-sit while they're gone, it makes me feel bigger and really important. I'm excited!
I'm not too sure what the plan for today is, but I hope we do something special because theyre leaving :]
So, after mom and dad came back from recycling (I'm so happy I didnt have to go!!), we went grocery shopping and ate lunch at McDonald's. Before I get any further, though I have to say something about grocery stores. First of all, they have the weirdest playlists! I mean, what kind of grocery store plays the Spice Girls and Love Shack?? It's just weird. Also, I never knew grocery stores gave out free samples! I thought that was just the prodigy of Costco..but no! Apparently, If you walk up to the bakers and and ask for a cookie, theyll give you one!!
Anyway, enough about that. I have to drive my parents to the airport in a couple hours, so if anyones reading...until tomorrow!

Day 1
Today, I woke up tired and sore from last night's Senior Prom dance. It wasnt even all that fun either. It seems that whenever our student council is put up to something, they always make our events fail. But, im not complaining. I could be on the student government if i wanted to, but im not all into that.
The first thing i did was go outside and check on my rabbit and her babies. she really drinks a lot of water nowadays. Then, unfortunately, i had to clean the poop out of the boy rabbits' cage. That was gross, as always. but it has to be done, and even though they are my siblings bunnies, i take care of them. but thats how things go with the oldest sibling and the younger siblings...
So, our plan for today is to go to costco to buy food for this next upcoming week because im babysitting and i cant cook for anything. If i were making spaghetti, the sauce would be straight from the can, and the noodles would end up either too hard or soggy.
So, costco was great, i love the samples! And we also ate lunch there. So, we picked up Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches and my mom ended up running into her friend and we stayed there much much longer than intended, so the ice cream ended up kinda melted...thank god for freezers!
After costco we went to the YMCA! i love the village people :] i had a good workout while my brother and sister went swimming. I hate the smell of the cardio room, its like soap, dust, and sweat all mixed together, and the sound of people panting is quite disturbing too. thank god for taylor swift :]
So now i'm at home, and i just came back inside from playing with the dogs. i really like my hair curly, i mean i really really like it!! i think im going to curl it from now on. but, it will most likely never look the way the lady did it at the barber shop, but whatever.

So, our plan for today is to go to costco to buy food for this next upcoming week because im babysitting and i cant cook for anything. If i were making spaghetti, the sauce would be straight from the can, and the noodles would end up either too hard or soggy.
So, costco was great, i love the samples! And we also ate lunch there. So, we picked up Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches and my mom ended up running into her friend and we stayed there much much longer than intended, so the ice cream ended up kinda melted...thank god for freezers!
After costco we went to the YMCA! i love the village people :] i had a good workout while my brother and sister went swimming. I hate the smell of the cardio room, its like soap, dust, and sweat all mixed together, and the sound of people panting is quite disturbing too. thank god for taylor swift :]
So now i'm at home, and i just came back inside from playing with the dogs. i really like my hair curly, i mean i really really like it!! i think im going to curl it from now on. but, it will most likely never look the way the lady did it at the barber shop, but whatever.
Great Beginnings
So, I've just created a blog. I'm not too sure why, because I've been really super busy nowadays. But, It sounds fun, and I've already made one to display my growing rabbit family. So, I thought, "Why not make a blog to display my life?" It could be interesting to someone out there...
So, I'll try to religiously blog every day as if my life depended on it, just for the sake of it. And hopefully someone out there amongst our 6 billion population will read on!
