Release Your Heart

放開你的心


Still no camera
[info]akimoto_miwa
Talked to him this morning, because I wanted to see his drawing!
But he still didn't have a camera to take a picture with. :<
Instead, he sent me 2 pictures of himself and one he took of a rock by the ocean. LOL Hella random~ (He said he took a picture of the rock because he thought it was pretty.)
But they're nice pictures... XD That kind of made my day, 'cause I was in that sort of mood from last night.
I noticed he uploaded the pictures of himself, including the one I was talking about before, onto his blog. Haha


While in the middle of that mood last night, listening to Kelly Clarkson songs, I drew a picture. I'm coloring it right now. Hopefully it'll still display with full emotion when I'm through with it.

I'm torn into pieces

I've been trying my best to avoid talking to him. "You're online and I want to talk to you, but I'm not saying hi first." Hahaha, when I saw that group on Facebook, I thought it suited this.

He said hi first!
He asked me how to spell "follow me." (Don't know why, don't care why, lol) And then he showed me a song and asked if I knew it (Britney's 3). Went on to ask if I can speak Taiwanese (I can't).
When he was about to go eat lunch, he also mentioned buying paper to draw on. Apparently, he's drawing a portrait to give to his (girl) friend, or something. He said it'd be more sincere if he made it himself (plus he couldn't think of what to get). Haha, I totally agree! I draw stuff for my friends' birthdays. x]

When he returned, he said he drew on (the back of, I'm assuming) calendar paper but realized it'd be stupid to give it on the back of a calendar, so that's why he went to buy paper. Ahaha~ I want to see! He says the picture he took on his phone isn't very clear so he'll wait till his mom gets back to use the digital camera.
I realized he's very talkative today... I bet it's because he's so excited to give this drawing to the girl. Ahahaha, how amusing. xD


Actually, I wasn't in the best mood when this was all happening... u__u
Uh oh, what's this feeling?! Noooooo! ><

Black Friday
[info]akimoto_miwa

Kind of a disappointing day.

Didn't have to water orchids today because it rained.
Dropped my sister off at Angel's house, and then we went to go return library materials before going to Great Mall. My mom was looking for a dress at Group USA. Kevin and I sat (& slept) there for quite some time. She didn't buy one in the end because the one she wanted had a little tear in the back or something. :|
Kevin wanted to go to Nike for new shoes, though he really didn't need new shoes. He likes Nike brand. -_- I was in a bad mood. Shannon, Angel, and one of their friends wanted a ride back. I don't know what she was thinking; the car only fits 5 passengers.
Didn't get to go to Old Navy or Gap.
I finished The Crucible.

I seriously need to start my homework. -_- I need to study, I need to finish my drawings. T__T

New layout.. LJ's layouts are so boring. The only thing I don't like about this one is that when I don't have a subject, it actually says "no subject." It looks ugly. xP I guess I'll have to start typing things up there.

Jasmine, I think I remember reading about your Black Friday last year. xD

Thanksgiving
[info]akimoto_miwa
Went to Safeway in the morning with my dad and brother, to buy pumpkin pie. x]
My grandma, aunt, and cousin & her boyfriend came.
We almost went to watch a movie, but they'd already seen all the ones I wanted to watch, dang it. -__- So everybody went to the supermarket, and my dad went to go fix somebody's computer, and I was home by myself (kind of).

Made プリン last night! It turned out better this time because I didn't burn the sugar. xP
Today I "made" pudding pie, but it didn't turn out that great. The graham cracker crust that we had turned out to be really thin & flaky. :\

We actually had turkey & mashed potatoes this year! :D Unfortunately, my mom forgot we had gravy powder, so we didn't have any gravy.. The turkey came with a sweet & sour sauce. xD We ate our turkey with ketchup from those fast food packets. Ahaha

My uncle, his girlfriend, and their kids came over after dinner. Duyen was talking about college and stuff.. I still remember the last time she came. We talked about the same stuff. College, high school.. such depressing topics. T_T
She really is amazing. I know her family's kind of low-income, but she's going to Stanford (she's a junior now), and she's doing pretty well. She studies like crazy for her exams, to the extent that she hardly sleeps or eats the week before. She said that last semester, she fainted right after she finished her test, and woke up in the hospital. :\
This reminded me of when my SAT class instructor talked about the 3 things in college. You can only have 2 of the 3: your health, good grades, or a social life. I don't know what I'm going to end up like.. They're all equally important! Well honestly, I can't see myself starving just to get those extra minutes in for studying.. In fact, I'll probably gain that freshman 15 easily. =_=
And then she started talking about the danger of the people in college. Like how that one girl at Yale was murdered like right before her wedding day. And then somebody somewhere was stabbed to death by her roommate. @__@ I am now kinda scared of living in a dorm.

I wanna watch Up tonight! I bought it at Target on Tuesday. xP
When I asked my mom if she wanted to watch it with me, she said she wanted to go watch her Chinese dramas first, so we'd watch at 9:00.
Then when I told my dad, he asked where I got it. My mom then walked in, and in a condescending voice said, "She probably went and bought it. Don't know why you would buy it; you could just go rent it." -__- Well of course I went and bought it! You wouldn't buy it for me...

Watched that one episode of True Jackson VP last night, so I was listening to Justin Bieber all day today. xP
He looks like he's only 13 or something..
I didn't know Miranda Cosgrove is our age. I thought she was at least a year younger. Haha

Slept for 12 hours last night. :]
I don't know if my mom watered orchids today or not, but I didn't have to. Instead, I had to hang up laundry again. It went faster today because Shannon was helping, and Joyce's clothes weren't in there.
Didn't go anywhere today. I almost did one syntax page for Voss. That's it.

I really really want to go buy Up on DVD. I really want to watch it tonight. >< I can't find it on the Internet anywhere.
Though, I did find this clip of Carl & Russell dubbed in Chinese. Carl speaks some Taiwanese! LOL
One of my favorite scenes: <3

I asked him a question, but he didn't really answer it. Though it could have been because of the way I worded it... :< Oh well.
I always feel bad when I talk to him and he doesn't answer/doesn't answer for a long time. It makes me feel like I'm bugging him.
I want to let go. I want to forget.

Talked to Kai today. It was one of our most interesting conversations I think. He asked me if I ever had a boyfriend. Hahaha. Later, he asked me something something, but I really didn't understand. :\ Maybe it was dirty or something. Can't beat around the bush in Chinese. Ahahaha!

Talked to Vega about Tdramas and stuff. x] It was fun. I watched the first episode of 海派甜心 Hi, My Sweetheart.
All this talk among Diana, Ivy, and Kathy about You're Beautiful vs. Hi, My Sweetheart is kind of tiring.

My aunt was going through her old stuff because she's packing, and she found some old photos of Kevin and her friends. In one of them, I thought the guy looked familiar, and it turns out he's Dennis Nie, the Taiwanese actor! :o

Today was not bad. I slept in till 10:00. =__= Didn't have to water orchids, but I had to wash vegetables and dishes, and hang up laundry. Went to get my hair cut after lunch. Somehow, I don't think my bangs are much shorter; they're just thinner. Afterwards, we went to the market.

I didn't finish my Chinese homework. We're supposed to come up with adjectives to personify 15 different animals, but I only have about 7. :\

Loss
[info]akimoto_miwa
I have a lost a lot of my motivation. I'm not too sure what happened. I just can't get myself to do my school work like I used to. I hate this; this is the worst time for this to be happening!

My guess is that it's Taiwan. I thought I was just "lagging" from the trip, but maybe it really has changed me. Is it that I was influenced by my classmates' almost-nonchalant attitude towards school? Is it that I left my heart back in Taiwan? Is it that I realized that most of the stuff I'm learning in school will all be forgotten and won't help me get to where I want to be (where is that?!) ? Is it that I miss the total comfort being in Taiwan gave me? I never felt so carefree as I did during those three weeks.  I don't know, I don't know, but I almost regret going now. I can't help but think that if I hadn't gone, I wouldn't have lost all this motivation. I was so majime going into the summer. I finished my first book for Voss before July and started the Calc packet, too. Maybe I would be fine right now if I hadn't gone...?

My grades are so bad compared to what they used to be, because I'm giving up so easily. During those tests or essays, I just have no idea what to do, and I just give up even though I know that's basically another F in the grade book.  I pretty much never study for APUSH and always stay up late the night before homework's due. I fail nearly every quiz/test/free response in Calculus, and I know I probably could do better if only I studied! >< But I can't find the time to because I'm wasting all my time doing useless stuff online like reminiscing...
This is going to look so bad on my college applications. Straight A's and B's the first two years, and then B's and C's (and who knows what second semester will bring?) the third year... I have to get my act together before second semester starts, because that's when it'll really get tough. ><

My weekends are so sad. I don't do any work on Fridays. I barely do any work on Saturday. Then I stay up late on Sunday just to get the work done. And even then, I don't always finish in time. What a way to start the week. I hate it, but I can't break this cycle.

Why can't I let go?!
