I have moved!

Hey guys! I've moved to a new blog to make things easier for myself x)

Happy 4th of July!

Today, I went to Plymouth for the 4th of July during the day. Every year, my aunt invites us to go down there and chillax. I invited Davin along because he'll be leaving to the Air Force in TX on the 6th. He'll be down there for training and won't really be back in MA until February 2011...So you can imagine how much I'll miss him in the meantime. Davin has known me for...almost 6 to 7 years! He's my brother's best friend and I can't say he liked me when he first met me (I was a complete brat as a child), but now we're very good friends ourselves.

Anyways, we got to go to the beach in Plymouth which was very nice! It wasn't a legitimate beach since it was really just a large lake, but it was still fun! We had some good times and it was the first time that I wore a bikini. Oddly enough, I didn't feel like I had a problem taking off my cover up. You hear that most girls who first wear their bikinis are very nervous about how their body will look. Well, I already knew all my trouble spots, but if you look down the beach, not a single girl isn't wearing a bikini! It helped boost my confidence that I shouldn't feel awkward since everyone else is doing it anyways. Not to mention, not every girl who wears that bikini has a perfect body, but they just enjoy themselves and that's the most important part. I did enjoy myself. =)

Later, we had ribs for dinner. <3

Though we didn't get to see fireworks, we did have a good time and that's the important part! I think I'll be going to Davin's house tomorrow to say an official goodbye.

Craving the Beach!

Normally, I'm the kind of girl you'd find under a hat with long sleeves covering my skin to keep me white...Well, you could say I've changed. I began to wear shorts and a lot more T-shirts to embrace the summer weather! I don't mind getting tan, but I'm still not trying to be tan if you follow. =p Anyways, I'm glad I've come out of a shell. Honestly, I used to avoid wearing shorts because I was super self conscious of my legs. I think I've already told this story, but one day, I looked into a mirror and said, "you know what, I don't care what other people think." It's a positive and helpful way for me to look past my insecurities and keep moving forward.

I haven't swam in practically three whole years! I was really excited when I heard that my friends are joining the YMCA to go swimming more often and hey, with swimming comes the beach. Yesterday, I ran out and bought a swimsuit for $9.90 at H&M. They are currently having a deal on around five different patterns for $4.95 a piece! =) I couldn't deny the deal. You know, it's true what they say. You don't know if a swimsuit looks good on you until you try it on! I thought all the patterns were mediocre when I saw it on my own self, it actually looked very pretty and I bought it after cruising the entire mall for the best deals. I'm really in a money rut so I needed something pretty and cheap! There's no place to get that than H&M. =) I've become a dramatic fan of their store. I'll probably post pictures later of the suit. It's a bikini with multicolored stripes! Oh, 2 pairs of sunglasses for $10. What a steal! Wahahaha

Since July 4th is coming up, I'll be spending the day at my cousin's house at Quincy which is right in front of a beach. Maybe we can crack out the soleil? =) I also would love to go with my friends.

Now for the reflection corner:
I've been noticing a few of my friends have started to dis include me in a lot of events. "Amy, you're not the most amazing person ever. You can't be expected to go to everything." I know that, but it's started to become a trend in their behavior too...The people that I used to be close to don't want to speak to me and I can't figure out why. I don't believe I've hurt anyone or said anything. I just wonder what's wrong. These people were really nice and a lot of fun when I first met them, but it's starting to take a toll. Well, you would expect that after awhile. Not every friend stays together. The important friends are the ones who are still here. =)

It's been 3 days since school ended for me and I've lost 3 lbs. Oh snap!

Last Day of School!

Yes! That's right! Today, we FINALLY ended!. (Technically, we have 2 more days left, but those are half days so they don't really count...) I'm so glad that this year is over...I can honestly say, I hate this school year more than any other year I've ever experienced. I didn't have any social problems this year. I've made a couple dozen new friends! However, I had really bad home experiences with my family and the math honors thing at the beginning of the year was my ultimate low.

There's one thing I'm worried of. My parents are grumpy oiejlsflsdx especially during summer while I'm free. In fact, I had more freedom at home when I'm in school than when I'm out of it! I get the mornings all to myself, but when my dad comes home at 3 PM everyday, the rest of the day is dedicated to listening to their orders. My cousin said, "You're a teenager. Your brain just wants to rebel." I just don't believe that. As I get older, I understand that not everything that my parents say makes sense. As my parents get older, well, they get angrier. Ahhh...

WELL BACK TO THE POINT, today, the French kids got to go to Petit Robert Bistro which was a really good restaurant! It's small, but the food is really good! We started with the appetizers: Bread&butter, smoked salmon, SNAILS, mussels, and pate! Surprisingly, snails taste great! They don't taste very different from anything else...I don't understand why people make fun of snails so much! =P After that, we got to choose our main plates. I chose a roasted duck with a side of potatoes and broccoli! =) Then, we shared chocolate mousse, creme brulee, and an apple tart!

At the end, Kenneth gave Ms. Brun a card and she started crying! So sweet! :)

I got to say. The beginning of this school year was rough. I made friends, but at home, I wasn't happy...Now, at the end of the school year, I can say that it has been a good year...from January + anyway. =)

Favorite Teachers of the Year:
Bernazzani!
Spezzano!
Nabbefeld!

These teachers need to keep it up...They've been amazing to me.

Well guys, now to start the summer session.

Big WoW News!

Yea, another WoW related post...

Well anyways, my guild, Darkest Legacy, disbanded. We were having a lot of inside trouble with the guild and the different opinions of the members. So as a result, a group of them did a mass disband and the guild master is returning back to the horde...

My plan:
Since I now have two level 80s, the druid is staying alliance as a Night Elf because I don't want her to be a Tauren. LOL. The warlock is going to be a blood elf because they're deliciously smexy. =) Then I have on of each faction and elf!

All I can really say is...I'm disappointed. I've been in this guild for almost an entire year and to see them splitting is difficult as I have to split myself into two pieces. I've never had as much fun playing WoW until this year when I met these guys. Before, I had guilds and played WoW extremely, but it was...alone. I sound loser-like, but I'm serious! The people make WoW even more amazing than it already is. When I met DL, I had such a good time with them. So, I'm disappointed that they won't be together.

I'm kind of happy that I'm going back to horde because all my favorite WoW songs are told by the horde's prospective...LOL. However, I've never made this many friends outside the guild before on alliance...actually, i've met a lot of people on alliance that are really cool on my lock! ...I guess I'll tell them to forward a message to my druid >>> Lol. I'm sure I'll meet some cool people on horde too...I just hope they'll love me too!

Another big point is, I'll always play my lock more than my druid so...I won't be able to see Odius and Boomshine as much. lol...unless they gank me. >.> That's not the main point though! I'm just sad...siiiigh.

Pros of being Horde:
-Winning every BG possible (80% of the time)
-Gears look niceeee
-Lots of raids going on

Pros of being Alliance:
-Causal and fun
-Lots of nice people <3
-More events going on

To my Future

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!
