Daily Life

I don't know if anyone is interested, but this is my schedule for an average weekday of my life: I wake up. Sleep five minutes more and wake up again. I get ready for school and go back to sleep. I wake up again when it's almost time for the bus to come pick me up. I go down to ride the bus and stare out the window in the freezing coldness, thinking of nothing. I go to my first class trying to force myself not to fall asleep. I get a little snack on our twenty minute break. I go to my second class and actually pay attention to the teacher. I go to the third class and keep on staring at the clock from time to time, hoping that it would be 11:30 (which is when our lunchtime starts). I happily go to lunch to eat and technically do nothing for the next hour. Finally, I go to my last class and wonder why time seems to go a lot slower at this time of the day. After finishing a strenuous day at school, I struggle to choose whether to stay "afterschool" or not. While trying to decide what I should do, I end up staying because I miss the bus. I goof around with others for an hour and ride the bus back home. I eat a small snack and try to do homework (but something always distracts me). Next thing I know, it's already time for dinner and I eat again. I finish my homework really fast and heavily go to sleep because of the tiredness I get from wasting all my energy for the day on nothing necessarily very important. Seems very boring, doesn't it? Well, anyways that's my daily life.

5:00 in the Morning

5:00 A.M. is about the time when I would be waking up (or at least trying to) to get ready to go to school. I think it's a bit too early. Anyways, so today I heard the ring of my alarm clock. Annoyed, I smashed the snooze button so that I would sleep only five minutes more. Before those five minutes were up, this friend of mine called me. I angrily answered the phone and I tried to shout at him because he just woke me up, but I was too tired and sleepy to do so. This was our conversation:

Me: "...Hello?"

Friend: "Hey, what's up?"

Me: "Nothing... just that someone decided to ruin my Tuesday by calling me at five in the morning while I was still asleep... you?"

Friend:"...Nothing... just that my dad received a text message from the school a while ago, saying that there is no school today."

Me: "Wait, seriously? YES!!! Virtual hi-five! Thanks for telling.

Friend: "Your welcome. Do you want to meet up today and do something?

Me: "I don't know. We will figure that out later. But for now, I do know that I am going to go to sleep... so see ya!"

Friend: "Okay then..."

So, yes, I didn't go to school today; apparently, there was some kind of a big strike for buses. I'm not really sure. I should check on it later. Anyways, so today would have probably been the only day where I actually felt happy at 5:00 A.M.

Funny or Just Weird?

So, this friend of mine showed me a video of this Asian band called the Poreotix. Besides the fact that I'm also Asian, I thought it was... well... interesting in a way. I really don't know how they managed to keep all that glitter to randomly throw after the end of their show but anyways, here it is...

The Haunted Houses of Our Lives

Which exact time and day of the week do you hate the most? I'd say Sunday afternoon. The sunset on a Sunday always reminds me of the long and hard week ahead. It just always hits me that the next day (Monday), I would have to work all day long and after barely surviving, I would notice that I have four more days until the next weekend. It's like the feeling you get when you are staring at the door of a haunted house before actually entering it. The feeling of not wanting to go in but at the same time, feeling kind of curious to know what's inside it. But, once you get in, you always want to get back out. I mean, what a joy we all get when we arrive to the exit of a haunted house (Friday). All the haunted houses are different in some kind of way: Some are more crooked than others, some have different colors, some have different shapes, and some are spookier than others. But, we all have to go through each of them at least once in our lifetime. Anyways, so here I am, on a Sunday, staring out the window, looking at the sun disappear in the horizon... Oh great.

Perfect Day to Complain

As I mentioned before, I'm just going to post whatever I feel like, and well, today I felt like talking about how annoying parents can be sometimes when it gets to getting good grades. Obviously, all parents want their children to get good grades at school; that's just normal. But, doesn't it start to bug you when they get so hysterical about it? Don't you just get annoyed when you get good grades and they are still not satisfied? Isn't it annoying that the grades you expect is not even half of what your parents expect? Don't you just hate it when your parents think that you are not "good enough" if you're not number one in everything? Well, I do. This is what I usually hear from my parents when I work really hard and get really good grades: "Well, I guess it's good... but try harder and do better next time, okay?" They expect our grades to always go up, and that's why most of the students are always nervous when the school sends out report cards. Now that I have noticed how my parents won't ever be satisfied, I really shouldn't even bother trying. I think all of you have the freedom to do whatever you feel like. Don't blame me if something goes out wrong, because I'm not telling you to flunk your next algebra test on purpose; I'm just saying that you guys should get good grades only to satisfy yourselves and not your parents (because they will never be fully satisfied until you are the best in everything). I don't know why I suddenly wanted to talk about this, but it probably has to do with the personal experience I had today with my parents today morning... but I won't go so deep on that because it's a long story. Anyways, I guess that's it for now... Oh and happy new Lunar Year.
