Waking up early sucks. I slept late, woke up early, now I'm just sitting here not really doing anything at my dad's shop. I think I might have to go to work today too. Bleh. Meteor shower was this morning, I missed the whole thing! I didn't even see one piece of flying rock! Gosh.
      So I was thinking about this "situation" that we have. At first I was thinking of confronting you about the situation, but if you think about it, what good does that do? We'll talk about it and argue over it. But will we really open up to each other? I don't want to feel like I'm forced to telling you things. Instead of doing that, I've decided to be proactive. I'll take the initiative to speak to you about my day. I'm gonna force you to listen about my boring days while I sit intrigued about yours. I want us to be open again and there for each other. I don't want us to be "best friends" as a title, I seriously want us to be BEST FRIENDS, and I miss that, seriously. <3

     I woke up this morning on the couch as the T.V was playing a show on Nick Jr. Wow, my sister didn't turn off the T.V. Waste of electricity. The last thing I remember before sleeping was going downstairs because it was too hot, eat some chips, and dozing off while my sister was watching T.V. Next thing I know, it's 6 AM and the T.V is still on as my mom comes down and asks if I was watching T.V the whole time downstairs. After that encounter, I go back to my room and resume sleep.
     I wake up at 8:30 AM to get ready for that De Anza placement test. So ridiculous. I get ready and I head out to Kevin's to pick him up. He gave me directions to De Anza. Thank goodness. When we got there, he took me to the building and there was a line! It was a pretty good line too. I'm glad that Kevin was with me because I'd probably be lonely and bored and lost. The math section of the test wasn't that hard. I don't know if he gave me the right test though. The english part took forever. 40 questions is a lot after a while. Anyways, when I was finished, I got a text from Kevin saying "Herpes is here". LOL. Kevin was waiting for me outside and took me to the table where I can get the orientation dates. All of them are full! Pooey. The girl said to try and come in anyways. So after I got the dates, Kevin and I walked out and saw Herpes. I think it was her, I wasn't paying attention.
     When I got to the parking lot, I went to pay for a parking pass but I didn't even need it and I already paid. Waste of 2 dollars. Anyways, Kevin lead me towards Yogurtland. Not bad I have to admit. I love the cups and the spoon. I stole a cup. Shh... I also took home a pink spoon. It's hecka cute! Yogurtland is actually right next to Merlion! We were going to visit Jessica Lim but we didn't know if she was working today or not. After Yogurtland, we went to Falafel Drive in. I'm so glad Kevin was with me! When we ordered two large sandwiches but didn't have enough money to pay. Oops... We were down $3.50 but the lady said to just pay her back another time. She's hecka nice. I guess also because our food was already done. Kevin said he'll pay her back. The falafel sandwich was made hecka quickly! It was so delicious and tasty. This place is really popular by the way. I'm such a messy eater. The sandwhich was too big to fit in my mouth so it kept spilling everywhere. FAIL. This place is bomb though, I want to come back.

     After Falafel drive in, I took Kevin to Jack in the Box for FREE TACOS. Yum, then I drove him home. What an adventure. When I got home, I relaxed for a bit and then took a nice long nap. I went to work at 5 today. It was an alright day. Pretty easy I guess. For blackbelt class, we did NHB. Good thing Kim was here to be my partner! I love her so so much! After class, I drove my brother and Kim to Jack in the Box for some more Free tacos. Yum. I drove my brother home, then drove Kim home. When I got home, I ate two tacos, showered and now I'm here.
     I wanted to watch the meteor shower with Darren and Kenny, but you know, other people are just more important than your best friends...

     I woke up at 8:30 today when Kenny called me. It was the first official day of band camp and for once, we were on the other side looking in. I got ready and gathered all of my belongings and headed out around 9:30. Once I arrived there, I walked to the band room just as the band geeks finished their warm up lap. As I walked in looking for Darren or Kenny, I was surprised when two people hugged me from behind. It was Jen and Allyson of course! I wandered my way back into the band room and joined the rest of the guys; Kenny, Darren, Matt P, Alan Berryhill, and Perry. We talked for what almost seemed like forever but ended up being about an hour or so. What a long day it's gonna be I thought to myself. I have to admit that I was pretty bored and tired when the guys were chatting. Alan Hsu later joined us but didn't stay for long. I got so bored that posed a solution to the boredom; go play at Edgies or go to my house and play Nazi Zombies. Darren, Kenny and I ended up agreeing to go back to my place. As Darren and I were walking to our cars, Perry was following us, I think he wanted me to invite him. Oops...
     Well I got home first and made some pancakes. Then Kenny showed up and we talked for a little. I showed him this awesome website! It's called Cakejournal It's this blog site where this lady also shows her creations and how she makes it and stuff. It's pretty amazing! I think she's from Denmark so all of her ingredients are by weight. But it's alright because she has really good tips and everything. Anyways, Darren arrived a little late because he went to run some errands and buy himself Panda Express. When he finally arrived, we turned on Nazi Zombies and started playing. When Darren and Kenny played, they got really far and had some pretty good techniques but they eventually died. Nazi Zombies is so fun! By the time it was 1:40 PM, we left the house and headed back towards school.
     When we arrived at school, we were expecting sectionals but Mr. Kaldy was just running them through pep band music. They have Hot 'N Cold by Katy Perry! Haha, funny. No offense, but they sound pretty bad. They had sectionals at 2:30 which was fun. I met Vincent's sister and another guy flute. They had to fill out this paper thing so I guess they can share with each other later. It was fun I have to admit. After sectionals, Kaldy just showed them some stuff on the internet and stuff like that. I had to leave at 3:20 PM for work though, so I didn't stay the whole day.
    Work was pretty easy, except the advanced dragons. I had Kyle, Krishnaa and Vishal (OMG). Kyle is good, but he talks a lot. Krishna is good but the other two are hold him back, and Vishal? I don't know what to say about him. I guess that he's just not of my favorite students to teach. I easily get frustrated with him. Besides that class, the other's went well and smooth. It was pretty good I must admit. Michelle bought us Jamba Juice! Yay! I got to teach the candidates too. Well not really "teach" but more of review. I had fun with the candidates. After OJ showed up, I left and talked to Darren for a little because he showed up to visit me. He was on the phone with Wilson when I saw him. I miss you WILSON! After that, we both just went home. At home, I just relaxed for a little and went on the computer.
     By the time it was 7:30 PM, I was heading out the door to take my brother to blackbelt class where I was going to run through the 1st degree black belts with kicks and stuff. I actually had a lot of fun teaching them. I got them to be loud for the most part, and now they know their curriculum, or they should've gotten the gist of it. I don't know why OJ is always complaining about them. They're only human, just like him. Whatever, I don't even want to talk to him. Sadly today though, I didn't go to Patty's. Tear. It's alright, next time for sure. I just stayed home and relaxed and finally went to bed.

     The day started off slow. It was nice, warm yet breezy morning. I woke up and instantaneously went on the computer to blog about my day yesterday. I recalled all of those outrageous events that happened the day before. What a day. By the time it was 11, my family and I headed off to lunch in downtown San Jose. I ordered a not so healthy fried chicken, rice, and broccoli on the side. Although it wasn't what I originally craved for, I ate it anyways with little complaints. It was fairly delicious and filling. After lunch, my father drove us down to Lowes' to buy more flowers for the garden. We stayed there for quite a while and bought a cart full of beautiful flowers that ranged from size to color. When we arrived home from Lowes', I went on the mac for quite sometime and began to feel drowsy. I headed towards my brothers' territory and collapsed on his bed as the AC was blowing cold air.
     I was awakened by the sounds of the Xbox. My brother had been playing Nazi Zombies yet the Map was undistigushable. I later found out that he bought another map to enjoy amongst himself and his fellow peers. Follwing that, I went back to my room to discussed my new knowlege of Nazi Zombies amongst Wilson, Darren, and Kenny. Darren dicouraged me quite a bit and I chose to only speak with Kenny and Wilson.
     As I was speaking to Kenny, we noticed that today was the last day for the "Buy 1, Get 1 Free" Jamba Juice coupon, so we set sails on our quest for some jamba. Along with us came Clover, who constantly stopped to sniff the grass and mark his territory. Once we met up at the park, we walked towards the bridge and the paved walk way by the creek. We decided to cross the bridge in hopes of getting to our destination quicker. Kenny mentioned a small path that crossed some weeds and plants that would get us there so we crossed the plants as it grazed our legs. But as the path was narrowing down, I noticed a clearing on the otherside, so we crossed the man made border and walked on the pre paved sidewalk. Sadly enough, my idea wasn't the best of the day so we back tracked and found a metal fence that we later had to jump over. Once crossing that fence, we were in the vacinity of the town houses. We walked till we reached civilization and we finally ended up at our destination. Once we entered, a blast of cold air hit us, yet our journey was not yet finished. Jamba Juice was packed with last minute customers, yet Kenny managed to make his way to the front. After ordering, we stayed outside and chatted for a little bit until he pointed our a past friend of ours, Patricia An. We exchanged our hi's and she entered the doors of jamba juice to meet up with her friends. Funny enough, one of her guy friends commented loudly and said, "That girl is cute!" I looked at Kenny and his expression was priceless. He was like, "Did he just say what I think he said?" Another one for the books I might add. Kenny thinks I should reconsider wearing my booty shorts. After we got our goods, a wave of refreshment and satifaction hit us. We walked back to my house taking the correct way and ended up playing countless rounds of Nazi Zombies, the new map. It was fun until the zombie dogs attacked. After many rounds of that, we talked for a bit and decided that our adventure highly matched Harold and Kumar: White Castle because of our endless quest for some jamba, minus the pot of course. Ironically enough, when we arrived back at my house, my brother was watching Harold and Kumar.
     After Kenny's departure, I resulted back to the mac to spread some positivity around. What a day I must admit. Tomarrow holds yet another adventure with the first day of band camp, possibly work, and more adventures, but with Patty and possibly Daniel.
     -Banhzaii

lol...

Day 3:
     I woke up at 6 AM, got ready and met up at the school. Patrick was hecka late! Lol. So we left around 7 and arrived at the Santa Clara Convention Center near Great Mall. That was where The Red Canvas premier was held at. Once we got inside the vacinity, we put out stuff down and chilled for about 10 minutes or so. When KJN Ernie arrived, all of us helped him unload the truck and finish setting up everything. After that we just chilled a bit and then it was time for all the staff to head off into a seperate room.
     In the room there were tables and chairs and stuff, but not enough for everyone. KJN Terry Lee talked to us about stuff and made us sit in groups; school owners, managers, program directors, and intructors. We had to write about the 12 things that we need to do as an instructor. Later, we just dicussed it and heard the other group's comments and stuff and what they would expect from another group.
     After that long and boring discussion, 3rd degrees and up had to go judge candidates while the others went to a seminar with Master "Sugar", I forgot his name. But he taught us some really neat stuff. Pretty fun. We had a 5 minute break then we went back and learned some Judo. That one was... Interesting. Lol. Shelby, Mariah and I are so mean! Lol. That lesson, I must say, was quite boring. I'm seriously gonna get breast cancer. Tear. Anyways, after judo, we went back into the main room and watched some of the candidates get judged. Andrew got 1st place and Audith won 3rd! Woot! Milpitas represent! Haha. We hecka cheered for them. I'm so happy milpitas is so prideful of who we are and we show it. No one else cheered for their school except for us. Ok so after that, we had another judo seminar with the same teacher.
     Then the fun part came after judo. We had a seminar with Pressure Points! Lol. Its hecka fun. When I was partners with Shelby, I couldn't find the pressure point above her collar bone so she asked the master to help her and he grabbed her arm and hecka pushed on her pressure point. Lol. Then he did it to me! Ow. Haha. My arm was like deadish. Iono, that was a fun seminar.
     The seminar after, we learned from a escrima master. All the stuff he taught us was similar to what we've learned as curriculum. That was was kinda fun but dangerous b/c there's no room to swing your stick. Lol.
     After that seminar, it was basically the end. We were supposed to do a demo, but the Milpitas staff didn't go to the practice so we didn't particiate in it. We just hid. Lol. There was demo with all the masters in it. Omg, they're crazy! Espcially the escrima master. He's hella fast! But I heard that that was slow for him, but he moves like friken lightening! Dang. Lol. After that demo, The Staff did a demo, then the action team demoed. It's the same routine over and over again. Bleh. Ok so basically, it took forever till we left boot camp. We were supposed to be done by 2, but he was running on philipino time and we ended almost at 3.
     After boot camp, we were about to leave but Danyelle and Allan Dale were talking, then Allan Dale came up to us and was like "I don't want to go anymore". Friken Danyelle, she said something to him to make him feel bad. Omg. I don't like her. Anyways, Shelby made Allan Dale go back and talk to her because she's not gonna leave without him. I guess everything went well because he ended up going with us. We went to St. John's burger joint with Donald and KJN Jason from Arizona. It was delicious! Yum yum. That was pretty fun. We went home around 5 and Allan Dale, Shebly, Patrick and I just chilled at the studio and talked. We basically told Allan Dale on how we disapprove of his insane girlfriend and that he needs someone better. We all really don't like her. But I'll rant about her later.
     I went home around 6 and chilled and relaxed at home. Then I showered and got ready to go to Caitlyn's birthday. When I arrived at Stephanie's house, no one was there! I called Shain and Chen but none of them picked up the phone. I ended up finding out that they were in the living room. Shian and I went into a different room and talked. She's hecka lucky! She got to travel to most parts of Europe. Hecka Jealous! Lol. We're gonna travel to Spain and France one day. Yay! Anyways, kids kept coming in and bothering us so we ended up walking to the park near her house. Omg, when we were walking, a car honked at us and some guy hecka stared at us while driving by. So annoying. So when we got to the park, we just talked some more and it was getting hecka dark so Shian called Kent to pick us up. She told him we were lost and he was seriously gonna pick us up but she was like "WAIT let me call you back!" Haha.  We had to walk to Morril Middle. While we were walking, another car honked at us and some guy was like "HEY BABY!" and calling out to us. Ugh. people are annoying. Maybe I should stop wearing short shorts and a tank. But anyways, we got to Morrill and she called Kent and Alvin. After they picked us up, we went to Yoswirl and chilled for a little. Then Kent drove us home. OMG Hecka funny, when we got into the parking lot of Yoswirl, Kent hecka ran the curb. LOL. Alvin was like, "After you get your license, all bets are off." Which is pretty much true. Lol. After we arrived back at Stephanie's house Alvin and Shian had a "music battle". Alvin and Kent has hecka good taste in music. They introduced me to Artic Monkeys, The Hush Sound, Mae, and The Fratellis. There were more but I don't remember. I wish I remembered. It was pretty good. We just youtubed hecka songs and they eventually had to leave to go to a party, so it was just Shian and I. We ended up going home at 12. Once I got home, I went straight to bed. So tired.

Day One:
     I woke up at 6:45 AM got ready and headed out to the studio to meet up with Allan Dale who drove Patrick and I to Boot Camp. We started off with some boxing and other random techniques. Kjn Ernie taught us a new pattern that we're supposed to know for the Boot Camp on Saturday as a demo. An MMA fighter came in and taught us a basic routine that they do to build it into their muscle memory, it's called pumelling. I was partners with Mariah. It's not that bad I guess, you get used to it after a while. It's hard to explain. Then he taught us clinching, then pumel and clinch, and then we added body locks. Pretty fun yet NO ROOM whatsoever. Mariah and I kept getting run over. Bleh. So basically that day consisted of conference calls where the guest speaker was called and they spoke to us through the phone and it was on the loud speakers so we can hear them. We had to take notes and stuff too. The first conference call person was really good and interesting. The ones after that was boring. One of them talked about how to make more money and stuff. I didn't really like that one personally. But yea. We had a bunch of breaks inbetween and also practiced more of that new pattern thing. Pretty boring boot camp I must say. We ended half and hour earlier and Allan Dale just drove us all home.
     When I got home, I ate then went straight to bed. I went to work a little late because I went out and bought Patrick and Allan Dale some Jamba Juice. Allan Dale got Orange Dream Machine and Patrick and I got Carribbean Passion. Yum. Work wasn't that bad. Mariah didn't show up so I had to answer calls and stuff. I'm glad that almost no one called. Blackbelt class wasn't that bad today. I kinda had half a class because I had to sign up RJ and Relaine for boot camp. But yea. After class I drove my brother home, then Kim, Allan Dale and I went out to Chilis to enjoy some Bottomless Chips and Salsa because I was craving them. We also ordered onion strings (ehh) and boneless buffalo wings (yum). It was a nice and suprisingly super filling dinner although we had all appetizers.
     After Chilis I went over to Kim's house and we talked for a little. I stayed till 11:30 PM. When I got home, I showered then went straight to bed but I couldn't sleep till 1 AM. Bleh.

Day two:
     Woke up same time and got ready. I headed out to the studio and we waited and waited for Shelby to show up. She was hecka late! Lol. We picked up Patrick and then left to go to Boot Camp. We got there just on time, but we got yelled at for being late. We just did that demo pattern and then we had a conference call I think first. After that, Ray Saint (author of the book "It's Great to be You"), spoke to us. He's really inspiring. We had a break, then came bac on the floor for more action. An MMA Fighter taugh us some of his moves and we did that for a little. It's hard to explain. Then another conference call, then The Chief Executor of Silicoln Valley came and spoke to us about leadership. Really Inspiring. Break. Action, then Ray Saint spoke again. More breaks, more action, Then Ray Saint for one last time. He's a really positive and inspiring person. It's hard to explain because I've learned so much from him. I kinda want to buy his book now, sounds good. Anyways. Boot camp was more fun today that before. We ended later than expected but it's alright.
     The 5 of us, Shelby, Allan Dale, Patrick, Mariah and I went to La Milpa to have some lunch. OMG Service is fast and awesome. I want to go there again! Lunch was nice and filling, I wish they gave us more chips though. Bleh. Anyways, Allan Dale, Shelby and Mariah stayed for work while I drove Patrick home. I didn't want to go home after so I just went over to Kenny's house to talk for a little. I guess we're not gonna play pool today. Tear. Ehh. I went home chilled for a little, then decided to clean. I just finished cleaning what I can. It's so much better, but it could be improved more. Yup. Anyways I'm super tired. Boot camp tomarrow 7-2. Oh boy, this will be fun.
     -Banhzaii

     Today was a pretty good day. Jen called me around 8:45 AM and we talked till about 10. After we hung up, I had breakfast and watched t.v. I got bored after a while and decided to clean my room till it was 12. It's not that clean.
     At 12, Kenny came over but I was still in my PJ's. We're supposed to watch Harry Potter 6 at 12:40 PM. Uh oh.. Lol. So I got ready and we headed out to Jamba for that buy one get one free. We got Razzmatazz and Peach Pleasure. I like the razzmatazz one better, it tasted good. We met up with Clare and Wilson Yu who both went to get some Blush. After Jamba, we all headed out to the movies. Kenny and I had to shove the Jamba in my bag to sneak it in. LOL. I paid for your KENNY. Who wears the pants now? Haha, just kidding. It's alright, you paid me back. Lol. Yup. When we got to the theater, it wasn't really crowded, we got pretty good seats. Kenny went and bought Kettle Corn for $6.50. Lol. Then Clare and Wilson met up with us. We just chilled for a bit and then the movie started. There were some really funny parts and the sad part, for those of you who watchd it.
     After the movie was finished, I actually was unsatisfied. I thought it could've been better. I just wished that Malfoy had more speaking parts. He was silent basically the whole time! Grr. Iono, I guess I just thought it'd be better. We just walked around the mall for a bit. Called Darren but he said that he's not gonna go to the mall and we, Kenny and I, just decided to go to Darren's house aferwards. Clare and James left so I had to take Wilson home. We visited Linsey but she wasn't there. Anyways, after I drove Wilson home, we went over to Darren's house. We played some rockband. Skyped with Wilson and played Nazi Zombies. Omg I suck but Darren and Kenny keep laughing at me. They think I'm funny. I got hecka lucky too! After they opened the "HELP" door, my first new gun was a ray gun. The second game, I got a machine gun and a flamethrower. I got to level 6 both rounds.
     After a while of games, we ate some dinner. I wasn't really hungry because I ate some kettle corn while we were playing games, but dinner was really good and extreemly filling. After dinner, we just chilled and syped with Wilson. Darren put him on the BIG screen! Lol. Anyways, Kenny and I left afterwards and I just went home, showered and slept. Boot camp tomarrow. 8 AM - 2 PM...Tear.
     -Banhzaa

     I wrote this Technically yesterday, so pretend it's 08/04/09. Today was actually a pretty good day. I had a wierd ass dream and woke up at around 8. Then as I was trying to go back to sleep, my mom called me. Perfect timing. She told me that I had to go to my dad's shop at 11. Darn, my plans with Kenny were soiled... Anyways, I went back to sleep and woke up at 10 AM. Then Kenny and I talked on AIM and decided that we'd go get some Jamba at 10:30 AM. So yea, I picked him up and headed off to Jamba. Kenny got a Strawberries wild while I got the banana one that he always gets. It taste exactly the same! Kenny paid because we had that buy one get one free promo coupon.

     Anyways, after Jamba, I went to my dad's shop and help clean a bit then used the computer b/c my dad was out on a road service call. He came back about an hour later and I left and got some free tacos at Jack in the Box. Then I went to an eye doctor appointment. I'm getting new frames! Yay! I'm excited for it. Lol. So yea, after my eye appointment, my mom took my brothers and I to more Jack in the Box for those free tacos. I have to admit, those taste really good! After I got home after getting 16 free tacos, I went to take a nap.
     I woke up at the usual time and got ready. I honestly thought it was Saturday when I woke up, what a good nap. Work was pretty good today. I taught Carly and Khobie, the new white belts and I made Khobie's parent's laugh! YESH. Score! Lol. I think Carly liked me too, which is good. After that class, I had to man the front because Mariah wasn't there. I signed up 3 people to boot camp and sold stuff. Not bad, I only wish Mariah was there to do her job... Bleh, I think I do it better than her anyways. So yea, I took class today! Kenny and Wilson Yu were there to watch me. Class was fun. We did MMA and then we did SKITS. Haha. We're such dorks. It was fun though. After class, I closed out and took my brother to Jack in the Box for MORE TACOS.
     As we were waiting in line to pick up our order, my aunt, Thomas and David came. LOL. Random. We left after they finished ordering. It took forever.. Omg. So yea, now I'm here. I just finished talking on the phone with Frank. He's a really deep person, I like having conversations with him. We try not to talk about other people but it's inevitable. We talk about ideas we have and stuff, it's really neat. You should try it someday.
     -Banhzaii

Frank Yau told me:

     I'm at my dad's shop right now. He's at some road service call or something like that. I have an eye appointment at 1 and I have work a 5. Bleh. Kenny and I went to get some Jamba Juice today because of that Bogo promotion thing. I picked him up around 10:30, I got the Banana one and Kenny got Strawberries wild. Lol. Omg, I think it taste exactly like the stawberries wild one...
     So, my day yesterday... I basically did nothing the whole morning. I slept around 2 because I got called in for work for 3:30. So yea, work wasn't that bad. I got to teach Nathan one on one. He's getting better! An experiment in progress. I'm getting more comfortable teaching the begginner junior belts. They're so quiet! Bleh. So after candidate class was over, OJ showed up so I went home. The rest of the day, I just chilled at home. Updated my blog and chatted. Ehh. So unproductive. I think work is my escape, it forces me to be active because I'd just be sitting here on the computer, draining out all my energy. BLEH.
