HELLO THERE KATHY. DONT LAUGH TOO MUCH READING THIS MEDIOCRE BLOG

Had a big race today, between Lowell, Lincoln, and Galileo. We did pretty good, but not sure of the results. But i wasn't really happy with mine. It seemed like i tried hella harder than last week's meet but only PRed by 4 seconds....I was hoping for a bigger improvement... But what my friend says, "Better than not improving at all"....

Heh, wow i haven't blogged in a couple months. Yup i was too darn lazy. I didn't have the motivation to make daily posts unlike my cousin. But this weekend was probably the most fun, exciting, and extraordinary weekend i ever had, which inspired to post this blog. No joke too.

On Friday, the day where almost every kid is excited about, the ending day of the week in school. My cross country coach, Ben, decided to give us a day off from running. So instead, we went to mcCoppin field near my high school. It was so fun, played some catch with the baseball. Also had a extremely funny and intense soccer game. After that, the whole team went to 8 immortals on Taravel street for dinner.







That was part one of the weekend fun. On Saturday, we had practice at school, running easy up the stairs and track for 40minutes. After that we started to prepare for the barbeque. Started out with some baseball. Then eating the food. After that we played a hilarious game of volleyball. I beasted and dominated at the game! It was absolutely hilarious....so hilarious i cannot descriibe, made me laugh my guts out...it was so fun......After this, it was time for a water fight......wow this was the most fun waterfight i had ever. It waas basically everyone against my coach, and boys against girls. There were waterguns, water balloons, and even cold chests. Wow, i nevered realized how vicious the girls were....They were so beast......freaking animals, but i'm glad, it made it much much more fun. However I lost my wrist watch during the waterfight because the girls were too vicious :P





After all this fun, 3 of my friends and I went to chill at quicklys, then went home to get ready for Halloween. No pictures though....but man..it was so fun. My friend and I went all the way to Taravel to get some candy. On the way there, a nice, old man gave us alot of candy, and a dollar coin! He said he didn't have any trick or treaters all night, so i guess we were lucky :D. And on our way back home, we ding dong ditched a friend's house and an old man's house. LOL that old man was a jerk, he was like aren't you guys too old to trick or treat? You guys should be at a party with your friends....My friend and I were like WTF? Never too old to trick or treat.....

Well, today, we went to Sizzler's to celebrate my uncle's bbirthday. And now I'm looking foward for my cousins and relatives to come over and eat dinner!

Happy Mother's Day!

It has been awhile since I posted on my blog. Alot has happen, disappointments, joyful moments, emotional repression, and stress. All I can say is that I'm a little sad about my life right now. Too much stress, and disappointments.. For example, school: I applied for English Honors, Chemistry, and AP Modern World. I got rejected out of all, except AP Modern World, which I had been put into the waiting list, so i'm hoping that i will be accepted in that class.

English Honors, I wasn't that upset. But Chemistry?!? I was suppose to make it into that class but i didn't. I negotiated with my counselor about. She says my math and arithmitic excells most of my peers who made it into Chemistry...So all she could say was "You should've made it into it, I don't know why you didn't. Go ask your science teacher." So I did ask my science teacher, and it seems like he is not doing much about it, which pisses me off. If you are not going to do your job, then get the hell out of here. My science teacher is a new teacher, because my old one had to go take care of her baby.

My grades were horrible because of my three gay teachers. So, I had this new mandarin teacher, he was a real asshole. He doesn't teach the class, he yells at the class, he doesn't give a shit about anything. I had an even called BSA (Brotherhood Sisterhood Association) which allowed me to be pulled out of class. And since i was pulled out it was my responsiblity to make up my work, which i did, but he claims my work wasn't good enough so he rejected it and he didn't even explain to me how to do it in the first place. Therefore, he gave me C for the quarter because i didn't do the 2 assignments well enough..I guess i was lucky, there were many, many, many people with D's and F's with this new mandarin teacher. But the only good thing is that my old mandarin teacher is back, so i will be regaining my 100+% in that class again.

In biology, i was also pulled out of my class and i missed couple assignments, which were worksheets. So i asked him if i could get the worksheets, but his reply was "I don't have anymore" and he shrugs his shoulders. WTF. He doesn't have anymore? If he doesn't have anymore, then MAKE MORE. It is suppose to be his responsibility to hand us work. So i dropped about 10% so he gave me a B..This happened to all the people who went to BSA, so i know it wasn't my fault.

And we have english...I missed about 2 days of him which made me miss 2 chapters of reading. But i couldn't read the 2 chapters i missed, because i couldn't bring the book home, and the story online doesn't match the book at school, so i'm basically screwed.

In conclusion, my grades were awful, horrible, appalling.. 3.83 to a 3.17.

Grades and not getting into the classes of my choice weren't my only downfalls.

Track.

I've been training so hard these pass weeks, but i'm not improving as much as i want to. Is it possible that i'm training too hard and overworking my body, not enough rest, or is it the other way around, not working hard ENOUGH? Is it lack of determination? Lack of will? lack of power or form? or is it a lack of something else.

My coach and my captain says don't worry about it. my captain says i'm tryin really really hard. he says the thing that only matters is what I do at all city. we will have about half a week's rest. So hopefully, i will be PRing. (personal record).

Well, i rarely had any happy moments at this point. Maybe i should be relaxing and chilling out and be happy about my life. But I am a person who worries quite alot. I am a person who is scared to fail, and not be able to elate the people around me. I am a person who tries hard, and i hope this hardwork will payoff.

dang it loooks fake but iono o_O

Well, today is my birthday, gonna go out and celebrate later =)

There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.

He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He's very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men.

He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant's confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times.

Now, the merchant's 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.

One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, "Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I'll be alone. How lonely I'll be!"

Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!" replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word.The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant's heart.

The sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is so good over here! I'm going to remarry when you die!" The merchant's heart sank and turned cold.

He then asked the 2nd wife, "I always turned to you for help and you've always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?" "I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave." The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated.

Then a voice called out : "I'll leave with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go." The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, "I should have taken much better care of you while I could have !"

Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives

a. The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die.

b. Our 3rd wife ? Our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others.

c. The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we're alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.

d. The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure.

Happy Brithday to my sister, Stephanie, she is 20 years old now =), well her birthday was yesterday, but i was tooo busy/lazy yesterday :P

I won't be able to upload any pictures since my old phone got stolen. I got a new phone but i do not have a usb cable for it.

I haven't updated or posting pictures up for over a month because I was either busy or lazy, but i was mostly lazy.

I had 4 meets since the last time i updated blog.

March 7- Skyline High School ( Oakland)
This meet did suck for me, because i didn't run too good, and all the other kids were beast. We had to race against all grade levels, varying from freshman to seniors. RESULT: 6:18 mile time:::: 2:45 800m time.

March 14- Vallejo Relays (Vallejo)

I did no mile on this meet, and i only did one event because of lacking individual events. I ran in a 4x800m relay team. It sucked, because i did not know my time, and i had to run in a varsity team.

March 21- Adams Banks Challenge ( Sala & Burton High School)

This one was a major improvement for me. This was where we race all our fellow SF high schools. And the competition was easier, and i actually recieved two medals =)
13:20 two miles:: 2:41 800m :: 6:19 mile. Unfortunately, both the medals i recieved were bronze.

::(After this point, no medals will be given out to anyone)::

March 26- First Triple A Meet (Kezar Stadium)

In this race, I was pretty satisfied about my times. I improved by alot and I wasn't in full condition. I had a runny/stuffy nose, and a...semi-sore throat.
5:55 mile:: 2:39 800m

After all these races and practicing afterschool, our coach gave us a two days off from running, i can finally relax.

AND NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY!

Today was so tiring, first in the morning i had to swim for an hour and a half, up to a total of 14 laps. Then we had to do some treading, i tried to tread but, my teacher says I am working too hard, thereforre tiring myself out faster. I guess i won't pass the swimming test as a freshman =(

Then afterschool, i had to run 6.5miles >.<. This was my first varsity practice ever since i came back after i was sick. I was extremely slow today. I think it took about 50-55min, ugh.

I had a bio test today, and i wasn't ready for it because my teacher didn't tell us there was a test! He claims he did but none of my peers knew about this test, so i'm hoping i i got atleast an A :\.

Well i got back to swimming on Wednesday. It was so tiring, we had to swim 10 laps 5 consisting backstroke, and the other 5 is freestyle. This is my first time going to the deep end...i think it is 13feet! We had to tread water, lol my teacher says i was overworking my body and using too much energy while treading. We were suppose to have a swimming test today, but i told him i wasn't ready, so i only swam like 50 meters :p. I mean i was sick for over a week, i need time to recover, right??

I came back to running on Thursday. Man I did horrrrible! Ran 13 or 12 laps i'm not sure which but it is defintely one of the 2. I did this in about 23minutes, man i had a 7min something mile pace. But today's running was even worst, we had to do our 4mile run but this time we had lots of uphills. I did even worst, i placed 10th out of about 20 people. I usually beat all these people, either placing 1st 2nd or 3rd.....=(. I hate being sick...

Anyways, after this loong typing i'm going to conclude it with a shout out to my friend Devin. He's 15!
Happy Birthday Devin!

And maybe i'll try to add some pictures, i haven't posted it up for a loooong time, and for my piano piece i want to upload, my video i recorded got erased, and i did not have spare time to record again.

still sick but a little bit better.

I was too sick to go to school on Monday or Tuesday, so today is my first day back. Today, wasn't too bad, during math i was suppose to take a math test, but my teacher thought I looked too sick so she told me to skip it =). Then afterschool, had a doctor's appointment, and picked up some medicine, because my cough was unbearable.

Sick =(

ugh i was sick since saturday, and i am still sick. I didn't go to school today, so just stayed in bed for most of the day.

Today had some bad news and ok news...3.83 GPA.

The good news was that I started school at 9:45 am today, as well as yesterday, because of this practice high school exit exam. I also only had 1 period today, but that period sucked a$$.. Okay i was working on an english report for what? 3 hours? And when i attempt to turn it in today, my teacher rejected my report??? He said I didn't put a freaking brainstorm web on the top of the page. I'm like wtf?? I did my essay didn't I, all i forrgot was the brainstorming part??? So he subtracted 1% from my grade, and i have to rewrite the whole thing while including the brainstorming thing.

Afterschool was over, I just went to track practice with the usual people, and ran about 6 miles today, then a couple sets of strides later on.

I know i haven't posted pictures up for awhile, I'm getting kind of lazy.

No swimming today in the morning, so i got an extra 30mintues of sleep, also had track practice afterschool. Did some sprinting speed work, about 7 laps for 400m, and about three 400meter cooldown. Ugh, we have our first invitational at Vallejo on March 7, my first race ever, kind of nervous.

Tiring today, woke up at 6am, and went to the SAVA pool at 7am, then statyed there until 8:30am. Then after school we went running, about 7miles to be exact, it was tiring, but i was 2nd place for my group. And it took about an hour and 10minutes, including, the stair drills which took about 15minutes

For P.E. today I went to the SAVA pool on 19th ave for the first time. It was actually fun, and funny. It was better than i expected. The only downside to it is having to wake up at 6am, a half an hour earlier then usual.

Also had track today, did 10 sets of 3 flight stairs, due to the rainy weather. Then did some strides. My first couple sets of strides with 2 other people, Derek, and Devin was great, i burned them =). But then when we headed toward the end of our sets, their endurance exceeded mine, and they beat me a couple times soon after.
