Dear My Future,
I know you're going to be here eventually. I think I've been waiting all my life for you to come around and pop up. Are you behind a bush? A tree? Maybe, you've got Potter's invisible cloak?...Okay, bad pop culture reference. I'm sorry that I must have burned your eyes reading this.
Well anyways, Mr. Future, I've been working up a list of questions about what's going on with you:
1.) How will I look like in the future?
I hate to be vain, but it's kind of odd. I can tell what other people look like 10 years from their age, but for some reason, the mirror just won't let me vision myself...Is it because my mentality is blocking out what will be expected of me? Maybe. Will my skin improve? Will it get worse? Will I have a freak accident damaging parts of my body? Will I experience a break up so bad that I binge for weeks or not eat at all? Maybe.
2.) Will I ever marry?
I always expect to. I'm sure that every woman does have that expectancy, but you know, not all women who want to marry get married. Will I end up using a dating site? Will I have to settle with someone who loves me, but I don't really love them? I'd hate for that to happen. I expect myself to get married. In fact, I know, eventually, someone will come strolling along and we'll connect. I just don't want that sort of time to be late. You know, late for me to have kids. Just saying. Which follows up to my next question...
3.) Will I have kids?
I want to eventually, but I don't want to be some sort of single mother. I think that job is too difficult and the child just doesn't get the same experience when their parents aren't together. I want to have a husband who will be father potential and children who aren't brats. I'll beat my kids, but I don't know when it will become too much or too little. Their entire life starts to shape when they're toddlers. I have to treat them in between to get the best results...I just don't know.
4.) Will I be successful? Will I accomplish some goals? Make money?
With enough effort, I'll become a dermatologist like I wanted to be. With extreme effort, I might land an acting role here and there...Yet, science has never been my core subject. Acting is out of range in American media for Asians.
Dear Amy,
I guess you'll figure out when I get there, eh? I mean, you can't expect me to spill all the beans. You got to do a lot of work for yourself!
To be honest though child, you know, I'm always changing. When you change, so do I. Let's say this, if something happens to me on the journey, when I finally get there, you'll see what I'm like. Sorry to say this Amy, but there isn't an answer to your future. You just got to figure it out when it finally arrives--when I do. Hell, when I do, we should go out and drink (mountain dew cause that stuff is dope) to your success. I'm not saying you're going to become some elite dermatologist or world renowned actress, but I'm saying we should drink to your small successes. You'll rescue a life, cook a meal that your sweetie will love, buy a dress that makes you look hot, paint your nails a bright color to make your mood happier, and just give your friend a hug. That's all you really need out of me. That's all I can really guarantee. You know why? It's because those things are what make you happy now. In the future, they can change. I'm saying we should constantly be drinking to your success because you're always doing something worth remembering.
Sincerely,
Your Future

This was a bit of a random post. Kind of like a pep talk to myself and just being random in the night.

Westboro Baptist Church
If you haven't heard of these people, that's probably in your best interest...
However, this church believes in homophobia. They also believe that the troops sent to wars are "fags" and that they deserve to die. They also believe that other religions are horrible and they are racist. In fact, I have no idea why they have "baptist" in their name. It's disgusting and a disgrace to Jesus Christ himself.
Moving on to the matter at hand, Westboro Baptist Church is coming to BLS on June 7 for half an hour to protest the "fag-infested school." I have already made a large facebook event that will be counter protesting their's. We are not going to engage with any of the Westboro members. We're just going to do simple things. Here's a list that people have gathered:
-Drawing hearts, peace symbols, and love all over the sidewalks of school.
-Singing Lady GaGa
-Hold hands/hug a member of the same sex
-Wear rainbow colors to school
I am speaking to the Gay/Straight Alliance and the Humanitarian Initiative to find our more on how to meet up and have each other all on the same page. We want this to be affective, but organized. We wouldn't want to get in trouble with the school. We also want this to be a peaceful protest. Westboro has no love; we do.
I know that Mooney-Teta told us that ignoring them is the best idea. Logically, that makes sense. Logically, it also makes sense that it is difficult for anyone to just pass by them without doing something. Showing off our school pride is a wonderful idea to counter them.
More ideas are brewing!

Future club plans!
After BLS Asian Night last friday, I'm inspired to join the BLS dance club and ASIA. :) It looks like a lot of fun and it's probably a great workout. <3 Definitely excited for next year! Here's my list:
Japanese Language/Culture Club
ASIA
BLS dance club
Red Cross/Recycling club (whichever seems more productive!)
POTENTIAL SPORTS:
Tennis
Volleyball
Track
My friend Eva told me that volleyball will accept anyone who joins...but that doesn't mean that they play! Lol. I thought this was a good idea at first, but then I reconsidered it. Actually, it wouldn't be fair to the good members of the team who actually put effort. If I play a sport long enough, I'll get better at it with practice. However, I don't want people who do not work as hard as I do to get the same amount of credit/profit.
I might choose tennis because I used to really like playing! I joined Tennacity 4 yeas ago (tennis summer program) and I got to intermediate level in just 4 hour days for 10 days. I'm sure that if I kept playing, I could go pro! :D but no...I stopped and I feel bad about it! Actually, I'd love to hop back into tennis. It was fun while it lasted!
I want to join track purely to get a good leg workout. I need to lose all the flab and gain some muscle! The problem with the track team at BLS is that they work everyday. With my club schedule, I won't have that opportunity. Besides, working on track everyday is extremely strenuous and uncalled for especially since I'm a slow runner! That's why it's #3 on the list...
Anyways, I'll consider my other opportunities later. I also will be job hunting once my birthday rolls around! I'll finally be legible for more concrete jobs! Thank goodness. :)

My Report Card for T4...
WELL, grades finally came back from the Term 4: March + April.
PHS ED: A
COLL ENG: B+
DECLAMATION: A-
WORLD HISTORY: A (went up!)
FRENCH 2: A-
LATIN 3: B+ (went down!)
ADV. ALGEBRA: B- (went down!)
BIOLOGY 1: B
JUNIOR BAND: A+
I tried to talk to Mr. Mummalo about my Latin grade and he said, "DON'T BE SUCH A GRADE GRUBBER!" ...really? Who uses that term anymore? >.> Anyways, I was really disappointed. I expected that I was getting an A for the term! I guess the B- I got on the very last test pushed me down...That makes me sad.
As for Algebra, I've been getting straight Bs on all his tests. One test, I messed up the directions completely and ended up with a D on that one which brought me to a B. Honestly, I'm pretty good at math, but for some reason, my mind just doesn't want to listen anymore for these last few months...I keep making all these careless mistakes and my attention span must have hit rock bottom or something! Summer can do that to you...
As for World History, Mr. Bernazzani appreciates my efforts. :)
In French class, I truthfully deserve a D or so. The last two tests she gave were completely abominable. Everyone failed them! BUT, she's biased. I volunteer everyday and I even still attended the French play after my eye surgery! Therefore, she loves me. :)
It's kind of odd for me to get an A- in declamation...Since I've come to BLS, I've always gotten A+ because I do really awesome declamations. I discovered a passion for acting! However, being the "professionals" that Mr. Robinson and Mrs. Gray claim to be, the will look out for the slightest pinch of a mistake and drop me to an A-. It's better than getting a B, that's for sure. However, I honestly expect A+s to appear. Oh well, that's what next year is for.
Speaking of English, I have never hated English class...until this school year. I used to love writing and reading. We'd share ideas, learn new terms, and just have a fun and relaxed class. English class this year has been more about lectures from Mrs. Gray. Not only does she ignore my achievements and efforts, but she talks down on all of us every single day. I can handle once a week lectures...not every class. In fact, Mr. Robinson made class much more fun. He also was more realistic. I'm so glad we have 2 months left of school...That way, I can say good bye to her antics. I'm not going to say she is a bad person...she's just a bad teacher.

GEO lenses XCM-214 in Brown (review)
Wahahaha! Finally a review! This has been long awaited by a few people that have requested that I write a review on these lenses. Sorry I wasn't able to do it early of last week. I actually had eye surgery to remove stys. (Large oil build up in eyelids. They caused intense pain!) In fact, I couldn't even wear my lenses until I could get these stys removed! Well anyway, it only took a week for me to heal completely. :) Which is a good sign! OKAY! ON TO THE REVIEW:
To your left is a close up of the lenses. GEO XCM-214 in Brown has a diameter of 14.8
STATS:
Enlargement: 10/10. Where did the whites of my eyes go?!
Color: 7/10. You get what you see. They're dark brown and more visible in light.
Comfortable: 10/10. NO PAIN! <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjibGkWZGoqNs0LveCJiu1lxvkkiH1t3fLK3YTYZLFF_DH5CXSHwEJON-9WehyqWc9MQM_SxKeetfL0QNhXbCDOC4obf-dyMSpCq0H61_A2nL6cKGlMw5Kx5re9R_2qflWtCKeOXdHtpL4d/s1600/IMG_0114.JPG">
(Pretty bad photo...lol.)
Anyways, you can see how brown they are! In natural light:
They look a little gray/brown. Hehe!
In conclusion, their color is okay! If you're looking for more color though, you probably should check out the rest of GEO's stuff.
Normally when I wear lenses, I always feel funny and it's like a feel something on my eye...I know that isn't supposed to happen and these are first pair to tell me so!
OVERALL RATING: 9/10
These are definitely lenses I would recommend. In fact, I would recommend any of GEO's products!
Where did I get these lenses?
http://geosupplier.blogspot.com/
Rating: 7/10
This seller sells them for $16 total. Yes, that's right. $16. The problem with this though is that she one mans the entire site and therefore, shipping takes 2-3 months! So if you can wait, I suggest this site. If not, find a different site. There are sites that sell the lenses for $20 with a case and ship 2-3 weeks later. I'm just too cheap to do so...Anyways, I already got a case! =P Though she only supplies GEO, she has the latest GEO products and GEO is a very trusted brand. :) I might try a different one later...
Well anyways, that concludes this review! Have a sweet week. :)

Friday & Saturday Reminiscence
After school on Friday, I met up with my friend Clarbear. :) He's my friend from the guild on WoW and we just hanged out. He's leaving for AZ on Tuesday so I wanted to say good bye before he left! I left around 5:40 PM from Prudential Centre so I could catch a train back to school for Music Night. The weather was also really warm! It normally doesn't hit 70 degrees at the beginning of May/end of April. So, I took advantage and wore plaid shorts (one of the two things I own from AE! They're really comfortable too) with black leggings underneath. I always find my outfits to be really colorful. Maybe it's because of my shoes? (They've got like 8 colors going on...)
On Friday, it was Music Night at my school which is when the bands in the music wing (7th grade, 8th grade, junior, senior, jazz etc.) perform for parents, faculty, and friends! It happens twice a school year and it is a major event because everyone works months in ahead to prepare pieces. It lasted from 7 PM to around 9:30 PM. I played 1st clarinet for the junior band that day and it was a lot of fun! I made 3 squeaks, but I doubt anyone noticed...(Hopefully).
I was wearing a green dress with white heels. Normally, people always wear something black and white, but I chose this dress mainly out of laziness...I was too lazy to go looking for a black skirt and wearing a long black skirt on such a warm afternoon didn't work for me! I thought I would be the odd one out, but some other girls wore colorful floral dresses while the others wore the usual getup! Honestly, I wouldn't have minded if I was the only girl in color. Sure, I'd look like I wasn't paying attention during attire directions, but that doesn't bother me. :) I'd just to have pwn them with my clarinet skills!
After we performed, I chilled on the 3rd floor with my friend Eva. We sat around eating Chinese food and doing some last minute homework. I always run around the 3rd floor without shoes during Music Night. 1.) No one is up there. 2.) It's just not a comfortable life in heels...Anyway, we had fun just chilling out upstairs!
Yesterday was my friend Melly's birthday party and it was pokemon themed. :) It was a lot of fun! We used small water guns and started spraying each other in the 70 degree weather so it was definitely refreshing in her yard! Also, Melly decorated pokeballs with her sister, Lucia, the day before and we played pokemon trivia. (of course she would win...:) ) We mainly sat around lazily and chatted! Her birthday cake and the cupcakes were AMAZING. They were decorated like huge pokeballs!!! Oh the jealousy...and the cake was absolutely delicious! Normally, I don't like to eat normal baked cakes and only satisfy with ice cream cakes...but it was so good I had to eat it...and when I got home, I wasn't surprised to see that I gained a few pounds. :) So, it was a great day.
During Saturday, I also wore white shorts. I really like wearing shorts? Noo, not really. I just rarely find the opportunity to! Actually, I'm really self conscious about the size of my legs, but I recently had an intervention while looking in the mirror: I'm not in bad shape. In fact, I'm still skinny. My family normally jokes with me about being fat, and it's not supposed to get me down...but maybe psychology had its way with me and I felt indirectly affected to lose weight? Now, whatever! I'm fine the way I am and I do believe I need to work out to gain muscle--not to lose weight. So now, I wear skirts or shorts whenever the weather hits 70! Hopefully, I'll be able to go to the beach this year too. Haven't been there in forever!
AND ONE LAST IMPORTANT BIT OF NEWS!:
Boston, MA is completely out of water. How? From what I heard, a pipe accidentally broke and the chemicals were mixed in with the ENTIRE water supply of the city and other towns near it. Omg. We have to boil all the water we use which means no baths, no washing dishes, not water powered machinery...We live in a city of scientists! Does the city really expect us citizens to just sit back and drink beer like the 1600s? No. Now the super markets are going crazy; they're running out of bottled water! In fact, my family bought 5 packs! Damn...
I also have one request to post a review about my circle lenses. (XCM214.) They are the dark brown 14.8 circle lens from GEO, but recently, GEO came out with colored version of 14.8 and 14.7 black circle lens!!! Anyways, I'll get around to that review during next week. Pictures and possibly a video! ( if I'm not lazy >.>)
