I got a really nice pink Adidas bag which I really need for like working out at the gym, sleep over’s and retreats. Those bags are pretty expensive but I got it for only $14.
I went to the mall and happened to see Fujimara sensei which I met today while I was practicing my Japanese calligraphy. I introduced her to my mom and maybe over the summer she can tutor me and my sister on our Japanese! I am really excited! It was really funny because I told her that I was really disappointed in Morihara sensei’s teaching and I didn’t learn that much and she was nodding her head while mouthing “I know” which made me laugh really hard.
There was a massive sale at Bath & Body Works and I was able to some lotion and soap for my bathroom, because I was really running out. I got Enchanted Orchid and Pink Grapefruit hand soap and Breath Delight Lotion which smells like sweet tamarind nectar. They had a “Summer Clearance Sale” and most things were 50% off. Hooray!
If only I was rich enough to buy the top books of May. I really want to read The Host: A Novel by Stephanie Meyer and A Wolf. I really want to get into the Twilight series because occasionally I like Vampire books. When I am older I want to be like the girls in R.O.D TV (Read or Die) where they basically devour everything they read, not literally though. They are just excited to read and love reading so much they do it whenever they have free time, they are also known for buying out book stores.
I checked out some books a month ago but I lost my book receipt and didn’t know when to return them because I am not done reading them. Their website was down so when I checked it today and I had about $5 fee on each of my 7 books. Thankfully I wiggled my way out of this by renewing them online!
At HistoryBookClub.com they have this special offer every year to buy 4 books for a dollar each. Though there isn’t much of a catch other than, make sure you cancel your membership about a month after you made it. So they don’t charge you. I can’t wait for them to arrive in the mail!
My sister thinks I am very much like the ditzy blond character in R.O.D TV because she thinks we act the same, cute and dumb.

My Sassy Girl
Last night I watched My Sassy Girl also known as My Bizarre Girl, which is a Korean drama. I have to say that it was good and bad at the same time. The summarized story is about this guy who encounters a drunken girl at a subway station, whose name is never ever mentioned throughout the movie. She almost killed herself because she was standing a little off the edge of the subway platform and a guy named Gyeon-woo pulled her out of the way before the sub pulled into the station. Since he is such a nice guy and a tad bit of a hopeless romantic, he couldn’t just leave the drunken girl to roam around vulnerable. So he carries the sleeping drunk girl on his back to a motel and watches after her. He doesn’t do anything to her but when someone called the police, saying she was missing they tracked her down to the motel. Gyeon-woo was showering and getting ready to leave because it would be awkward waking up to someone you don’t know and getting the wrong idea. The police bust in while he was naked, suspecting he kidnapped and raped her he was arrested. The girl somehow gets a hold of his number and asks to meet up with him. She is really rude and asks him what happened last night and he told her the truth with a bit of stuttering. They start hanging out and they eventually date. The thing is the girl is so annoying and so rude and everything is very unpredictable with her, which is a twist from other romance, comedy movies. I found the girl to be extremely, stressful annoying and immature, I cannot stress this enough because I found it very overwhelming! It really kills the story for me and at a certain point I wanted to pull out my hair and turn it off. I stuck to it though and you find out that she did all those things for a reason, which I will not name. Anyways, the relationship progresses and Gyeon-woo wondered if it will actually get anywhere. They wrote out their feelings to one another and put it in a time capsule and agreed to meet up two years from now. After the two years pass, the girl does not show up and Gyeon-woo reads her letter. She says if she didn’t show up that means she needs more time to develop courage and maybe we might meet again. Gyeon-woo is heartbroken and continues living his life to the fullest, doing his best in everything until he sees her again. They meet up again on complete accident when the lady that they are both working for was blindly trying to set them up, not realizing that they already know each other. As the ending unfolds it gets better after you go though the annoying middle. I thought it was annoying but people have their own perception of annoying.
I give this a 2 and 1/2 out of 3.
The American remake is coming out soon, under the same name My Sassy Girl and will be released later this year.

Makeup And Such
Hooray, it’s Friday again! Math tutoring went fairly well today but I feel I should put more effort into my work. So I am going to try reviewing everything from the past months to really get everything down. Goodness, school is so boring when you repeat everything over and over. In my case since I am homeschooled, the repetitiveness of sitting with a book makes me sleep. Though I love learning a lot and when I am really into things, which happens pretty often, I get really zoned in and stay awake. Thank goodness high school is almost over!
Sometime this weekend I am going to cook something new from my cook book. I spontaneously decided this during my lunch hour. I already got all the ingredients and I am pretty excited, food generally excites me. I never come up with my own recipes though, I am not that skilled.
I also went to Walgreens today to get makeup because I was running out and there is this amazing lady that works there, she helped me pick out this amazing lip color last year for the Insight Prom. My intentions for going there in the first place was simply because I just remembered they have a lot of makeup sales and our Wal-Mart is undergoing a major makeover so I can’t find anything anyways. So when I had some trouble finding what I was looking for, I saw her and thought enthusiastically, it is that one awesome person who helped me last time! So I was able to find everything wonderfully! I also noticed that she has a lot of star badges on her vest since I last saw her; I am assuming that everyone else liked her to and she is an awesome worker or something.
I must sound so silly talking about people who are “simply doing their job” but there are people who do things perfectly and incredibly, with a passion. Those are always awesome people.
Plus, if you can imagine, I am always like where the freak is everything, browsing in a somewhat frantic motion. I only got into makeup pretty recently, about last year, mainly because I have a pretty annoying acne problem and I only feel like I perfected my makeup skills, as of today. My old make up was pretty good for a first try, it was basically concealer.
I got a major upgrade today though, I am so very happy! I got a better, fatter concealer that is more of my skin tone; I got Physicians Formula bronzer, Neutrogena mascara, Maybelline Shiny-licious lip gloss and conceler sponges that help make things even easier! I love makeup now that I understand how to use it and it works pretty well.
I don’t look to different with and without my makeup other than, you see a lot less pimples and redness and maybe longer lashes. It scares me sometimes when people use so much makeup that when they take it off it’s like, who are you?

Spiritual Warfare
This weekend I saw Iron Man in the theaters and I have to admit that movie was pretty awesome! My only regret is I could have sat a lot closer to the screen but it was too dark to see where I was going anyways.
I’ve been thinking that I should get into comics because they come up with some really good stuff. I occasionally watch G4TTV’s Fresh Ink which talks about the upcoming and just released comics, I have to admit just getting a preview of this stuff is pretty mind blowing. I used to think Japan had all the cool comics and storylines but after looking into what America has, I was pretty blown away. I prefer American comics because I see more variety in comic art and storyline though, when you read too much of something from any culture, you tend to notice a pattern. For Japan it is school girls, magical girls, honor and perverts and America is like super heroes, space and “living normal lives”.
Notice how the Japanese never say in any movie, book or comic that they want to “live normal lives” because their lives are already boring as ever. The interesting thing about Japanese culture is every day is the same. I hear this repetitive statement over and over again in many songs and stories. Personally I would go insane in Japan because there are too many people living on that island and it will always be really crowded. Every day they follow the same routine, but there are a growing number of schools in Japan that are that are a lot less formal and are more relaxed. The funny thing is I don’t think Japan can find a perfect middle because either the schools are really strict and have so many rules or lax with no rules at all! I know this sounds so absurd but I am so serious!
We also bought Wii fit yesterday but I didn’t get to play with it that long. It is simply an amazing game but I don’t have much to say about it yet because my family keeps hogging it.
It was a bummer because yesterday I was supposed to hang out with Donald and watch both Narnia movies with him but nothing really happened. Since our origonal plans on Thursday was canceled because he was really tired, which is completely understandable, I figured that he would call me up and tell me what would work for him instead. Nothing happened but I hope he contacts me soon and tells me what’s going on. I think he might be under a lot of stress from moving, is what I am assuming.
I also came to a conclusion with Reiki and the direction I should take with my spiritual path. I know in my heart and with a tad bit of research that Reiki is some sort of witchcraft. So, now realizing this I am going to completely backtrack and make up for lost time. I don’t know why I didn’t look into Reiki sooner but it is definitely something you shouldn’t mess with. I can’t even believe I messed with that stuff! What made me change my mind was this story I read, which had a lot of similarities with my encounter with Reiki and what this girl had gone though. It is a pretty moving story that is an incredible read.
http://www.saint-mike.org/Apologetics/QA/Answers/Spiritual_Warfare/s0405300135.html
In the end they basically say to get rid of anything involving witchcraft that belonged, including the person who probably introduced you to it. Well Alex wasn’t the first one, my ex-stalker was the one who introduced me and he is long gone. I really don’t want to part from Alex though because he is a good friend of mine. I think for now I will just tell him not to do that around me or to me and see if this improves from there. If not, then my last resort is breaking our friendship. Which is pretty disappointing but if it does happen, it will be for the best.
Never blindly follow anything, ever.

Truth Box
For the most part, I have given up on finding out who wrote that message on my MySpace Truth Box. They can tell it to my face whenever they feel like it is the right time.
Anyways, I think I have finally decided to get my GED after long thoughts about it. I have fully weighted out the pros and cons. In my situation there are more pros and pretty much no down sides. GED’s are frowned upon by society because it seems like the easy and slightly lazy way out, though this is not the case for me. The only things that would count as a downfall is somewhat socially, though I am an extremely social person I will have to miss out on Senior Prom, parties and drama which is can certainly live without and personally I never liked those things in the first place. My friend thinks that one day I will look back and wish that I went to my Prom but personally, looking back on most dances now, I say to myself thank God it’s over and I can’t believe I lived though that. Not that I don’t like dancing at all, I personally don’t like the choice of music and I am absolutely disgusted of the extreme sexual behaviors though out the dance floor. Anyways, I will reach the same destination as everyone else, in the end. I find my perfect job and go through education just like every else. Will I be thrown into a University instantly? Probably not, but regardless I will end up at the same place and I can just work my way up with good grades to back me up.
My tutor came over today with some practice GED books and made me extremely confident that I can actually pass this, with flying colors! I will probably take the test at the end of the school year or something when I have my entire math covered and I feel that I have memorized everything like the back of my hand.
It feels so good to finally feel like I am falling into place. My lazy mind is waking up and starting to play with numbers like I used to. The thought that I can be good at math again is overwhelmingly amazing because I seriously gave up on myself quite a while ago. I also feel better that I am fully sticking in what I believe in. I no longer hesitate to speak my mind with my friends and such. It only gets better because it is almost summer.
I am talking to Alex a lot lately and he is really nice to talk to. I kind of like him but I don’t entirely understand his points of view on religion and whatnot. I am pretty sure he believes in Greek mythology and might have a possibly of doing witchcraft but it is too soon to call. Would reiki count as witchcraft? I don’t care about his religion or beliefs to much but he wants to date me if I ever break up with Jerry but it isn’t comforting dating someone who believes in ominous things.
On the lighter note, he invited me to go to insight prom with him. I am pretty excited to see all my friends from my old school.

Bad Day
Jake Fisher wasn’t the one who posted that to me. Which makes sense because I know Jake is extremely loyal and loving to his current girlfriend. I should know better than to think it is him. So my next guess, which is more reasonable, is possibly one of my classmates named Robert Eso but then again, too soon to say.
My day turned out really bad because this morning my Japanese teacher was very strongly implying that I am slacking in the class. Although he just generalized it as “this side of the room” he was irritated at me for not doing my work correctly, which is lame because I am a good student when I have a teacher that actually teaches. Plus, I am only in Japanese 1 meaning I am not supposed to be all that great yet. I have such a hard time putting together Japanese sentences. It is such a huge difference on how they arrange their sentences, it is pretty much backwards. For example, I would say something like, I love drinking water. If I were to say that in Japanese, direct translate it would turn out something like, I water like drinking but as the sentences get longer it gets more complicated and that’s where I get lost. Maybe I can get Rickey and Kevin to help me in my Japanese?
My mother will get mad when the phone bill comes around because last night I was talking to my friend Alex, from my old school. We ended up talking almost six hours last night? I went to sleep at around 4ish. Our conversation was constantly shifting because we had so much to say to each other, but I did most of the listening. He is kind of getting me back into reiki which is a good and bad thing at the same time. For those who don’t know what the heck I mean, reiki is pronounced at ray-key which is basically healing using your life force. You can also use it for other things such as mind communication which is my personal favorite.
My mom and I got into a big argument today and it was lame. She used to speak good English but now everything is all jumbled up so she can’t understand me. I also think she will get Alzheimer’s or something. Lack of brain stimulation and intelligence will cause you to get Alzheimer’s. I asked her when the last time she actually read a book was and she said when she was single which 18 years ago.
It’s so cute because last night Alex said he liked me in the middle of our long conversation. I told him I have a boyfriend and he said something along the lines of, well tell me when your single. Alex is cute and all but I belong to Jerry dear and I am extremely loyal.
