| DUDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... it has been over a year since I last posted on this site, how pathetic? However, I wonder who still stops by and reads my posts. =]
I'm almost done with second semester of college and spring break is in two weeks, so I'm pretty stoked about that. But what's even better is that after spring break, we only have 3 weeks of school left =D so I'm very excited. However, the downside is that I'll taking summer school this year for the first time EVER in my 19 years and something months of living. But it'll okay, it's only chem 121, calc tres, and eng 231. I want to graduate early and keep on track and not fall behind. I don't want to end up in school for another 5 years, I wanna be done SONN!! if only I could get lucky and marry someone filthy rich who is good looking and faithful.
On another note, I'm struggling with family issues at the moment especially with my mom's health. The lump in her breast came back positive for cancer but they don't know if it has spread anywhere else especially since my mom doesn't know exactly when the lump started forming. As a result, all of girls in the family are susceptible to breast cancer later down the road and we have to get checked since it is hereditary =( I just never thought it would happen to my family. But then again I thought alot of things wouldn't happen to me period. First, my purse almost gets stolen, my mom has breast cancer, my family wants to sell the house, and my boyfriend doesn't know if he wants to continue this. I just feel so helpless and useless. It's as if I can't help solve any of the problems of my loved ones. Life kinda sucks right now. period.

| so we the people has finally come to an end for Clark High School. I will admit that I was pretty bummed out by the fact that we didn't even place, but got honorable mention and we were upshowed by Bishop Gorman who was a total newbie at this... that was kinda pathetic. On top of that I found out that I wasn't a finalist for the coca-cola scholarship or outstanding students, so I really need to get on those scholarships again especially since I am going to UNLV. As for the Lent season, I think I am doing a fairly well job at it, however, I did watch CNN in the hotel room for like 10 minutes, so that breaks the t.v. as for boys and sex, HAH! that's almost as deserted as the nuclear test site. I can't until college. maybe I will go and live in the dorms with the extra money or go take a trip to South Dakota. well, I should get back to physics and what not, only one more quarter and then I can give my valedictorian speech which, by the way, will be the most amazing thing ever. | | |
| it's 4:05 a.m. and I am having trouble going to sleep. I think I may have insomnia or something. I have already tried reading, drinking hot tea, and doing some calculus homework but none of those seem to do the trick so here I am writing in this long forgotten weblog site. Where I last left off was with a rejection from a college in the Philippines, ehh.. that wasn't so bad. I know that I am just bound for UNLV which to some sounds pathetic but to me I could care less. Maybe I lack the motivation to go to those ivy league schools, but something in my gut tells me they're not for me. Everyday I am reminded just how lame UNLV is by my peers and tell you the truth, at first I was brainwashed by them. I wanted to go out of state and go to those fancy colleges but really, I didn't want to go on my own accord. And yes, people have told me that Reno is wayyyy better than Las Vegas, but maybe the rural life just isn't for me. Trust me... being a farmer's granddaughter in the Philippines, I kinda have first hand experience of what the "wilderness" looks like. However, I know one thing for sure I am not going to stay in Las Vegas. After pharmacy school I want to move somewhere along the coast. Most likely West Coast, though. I want to make a "things to do before I leave Las Vegas forever" list. So far I have is go and see a Las Vegas Academy play and go to a tittie bar ( oh yea, adler chang backed out on us so we ended up watching porn and superbad at Jason's house and then dropping off the porn and a cake to adler's house later that evening) Sadly I think my little sis will be the only one left in vegas. After all of us kids are done with college and are fully "settled" meaning we have a stable house, job, and a possible suitor (according to my parents) they (parents) are taking a one-way ticket to the Philippines and are possibly splitting. It's sad to see that the love my parents had for each other has diminished. They're just better off as friends and they're really staying together for us kids. Oh yea, and that's part of the reason why I am not going to end up with a Filipino guy, they're all going to end up like my father. Oh while I am on the subject of boys, I have given that up for lent. Things I have up for Lent Season: 1. sex ( haha. easy because I have been MIA for almost one year now. that's a long dry spell) 2. boys... particularly relationships with boys ( I started highschool without one and I think I will end highschool the same way) 3. television ( not so easy because the writer's strike might end and new shows of the Office will come on again and ahhh... too complicated but worth it) The time is now 4:26 and I am still awake, hopefully I'll catch some sleep during calculus or physics. well, I am kinda glad that this semester is done and over with. I am pretty sure that I have my valedictorian status secured but they will be "checking" on third and fourth quarter so that's kinda crappy and gay. My mom and I were talking and she said that I should become suma cum laude in college as well. And I was like "WHAT! I've had to work hard all four years and stress about grades that more than half of the students in this district don't even care about. Thanks but no thanks. I want to be average." And this is what my mom said, "Joanna you already look like the average filipino with your nose and skin color. Don't have the IQ of the average white and black person now." haha. she doesn't believe that hispanics have an IQ. well, tomorrow will be fun filled, hopefully. | | |
| To Whom it May Concern: ...Due to recent events, we are sad to inform you that you were not accepted to the School of Engineering at University of St. Thomas Manila, Philippines. Unfortunately, there were too many applicants this year that the committee found it extremely difficult in admitting students this year. Thank you for considering and applying for this advantageous school. We wish you all the best with your upcoming endeavours.... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! wow, was this rejection letter depressing, mostly for my uncle though. He had high hopes that I would attend his alma mater. Oh wells, somehow I knew I wasn't going to get admitted to an international university. whatev... I just hope I get scholarships. oh and yes, I am going to a tittie bar today, so that'll be sooooo exciting. | | |
| on a scale of 1 to 10, I would say life for me is at a 3.5 it just dawned on me that the day is coming closer and just when I think it's not so bad, I have a relapse. oh wells. I really like this passage by the way: "First friendship is like first love. You enter it with uncalculating innocence and obsessive enthusiasm. You live in the moment. You keep no secrets. You don't know enough to hedge against the very good chance that one day it will end and break your heart... By then, into adulthood, they will have realized that goodbyes punctuate life and never stop until the last one. Most are sad at the time, some are tragic, but many turn out to teach us something we had to know or get us somewhere to be. They will learn the combination of time and distance is a steamroller, eventually flattening everything, especially, thank goodness, the pain of parting." 11 days to go | | |
