THANKSGIVING BREAK! WOOHOO!!!!

YESSHHH IT'S THANKSGIVING BREAK! See, this is the type of thing that keeps me alive. Even though it actually started yesterday, I only had time to post today. :3

Yesterday a bunch of my friends and I all went to BBC, or Bay Badminton Court, to play for a few hours. I happen to be somewhat experienced in badminton. It's a really great sport, and it gets your muscles going, and it's super fun. I went with a girl, age 11 (since I happen to be extremely private, I'll give them nicknames. This one's "Omg"), a girl aged 10 (TammPam), another girl aged 10 (Crimson) and a boy, TammPam's brother, aged 7 (Annoie). Of course our parents came along too. The time we spent on the court was almost nothing; we were having so much fun. I think I've improved-I can slam the birdie or shuttle almost all the way across out of bounds to the other side. But now my arms and neck are aching. :( Not a surprise, though.

After badminton we all went out to eat lunch together at a Chinese place. It was sooo yummy! There was macaroni in soup with peas and ham. There were rice noodles on a plate dathered (okay, I feel like I should make this word "dathered" even though it doesn't exist. This adjective/adverb/whatever refers to something being soaked in something, usually involved with cooking or sauces) in this brown, soy-like sauce that gave the noodles a real twist. There were juicy, hot fried chicken wings (sorry vegetarians >_<) and eggs. There were pieces of French Toast with something like butter in between. Yes, my friends, that was truly the meal for someone like me.

After THAT, we went to TamPam's and Annoie's house, which is an apartment room. Here I must stop for a minute. I called Annoie, Annoie, because he IS annoying. He happens to be spoiled and wants his own way, and during games, he doesn't hesitate to say that he's a "professional" and the others "suck" and "I WANNA PLAY THIS!" and doesn't falter in breaking some rules. But other than that, it was very fun in their apartment. We played WiiSports on their Wii, and I made a Mii account. We also went down to the garage (with parental permission and supervision, of course) and fooled around with TammPam's bike and played with one of those big-gish, soft balls made out of rubbery material (forgot what they were called). We played kickball, kickback, and more. We played until 7:40 and that's when our parents came to pick us up. Now THAT'S one way to spend a day in Thanksgiving break.

Today nothing special is happening. Tomorrow is our traditional family party with our cousins, uncles and aunts. But today, we're just kicking back and relaxing. Maybe we'll (my family) eat dinner at my grandmother's house. But other than that, it's the complete opposite of yesterday. Which is good because, as I said before, my arms and neck are aching.

Friday the-Oops. That was yesterday.

It's been a while since my last post. First, I want to thank a friend(PwintphyuX3) for following my post and posting all these wonderful comments. Let's give her an applause! *clap clap clap* I'll be commenting on your posts as well, as thanks....

Well, a lot's happened. I've gotten my friend's b-day present for the party SOMEWHERE IN DECEMBER. Hehe. I also got an A on a project for social studies. And I've been getting a lot of spam in my e-mail. 7 of the same emails about something I won't mention!!

Yesterday was Friday the 13th. *shiver* Some people may believe in it, but some may not. I believe in it, but only for fun. Besides, it did seem a bit unlucky for me, because I got assigned a bit more homework than usual....-sigh sigh sigh-

School has been OK. Nothing hard or troublesome happened. I've been having these hilarious dreams. I guess I'll tell one to you:

There was this Christmas party at school, during a certain period, and my strict P.E. teacher was in charge. She shouts very easily. The party was a game that could only be played by people with masks on. You know, those masks that only cover your eyes? But no one brought a mask, and my teacher was going around row by row, scolding and shouting at us. "WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING YOUR MASK?" She was coming nearer to where I was, and since I didn't have a mask, I turned to the girl I imagined behind me who had glasses and, since I have glasses, I whispered, "Hey, wanna switch glasses?" She agreed and we switched. When my teacher saw me, she broke into a huge smile directed towards me and the girl behind me. "Great masks! Go ahead and join the game." While I was dreaming it didn't seem very strange, but when I woke up, which wasn't too long after, I regained my common sense.

That was the best dream ever, huh? LOL. Um...back to school! Some grades were established. A=Math, A+=science, A=P.E. I'm confident of an A in social studies. I'm also confident in an A- at least in language arts. Wish me luck~~~

A Really Nice Night

I know it's late, and I already posted, but I just HAVE to add this in. I just had dinner and it was one of those cooking-boxes-with-fire-and-requires-fuel-that-has-a-pot-on-it-and-the-fire-cooks-food-that-is-in-the-pot. It was reallly delicious-no rice today, like we usually have it. Just plain chicken and beef (sorry vegetarians) and vegetables and white rice noodles...and it's all nice, fresh, hot...and dosed in delicious oily hot tasty soup, tinged with slight, numerous, varied flavours...it was wonderful. But the best part was the talk. The men of my family (it's weird typing that phrase) are always so entertaining, and I often join in the conversation. The topics are really random, from about Bill Gates (good things, of course) to evolution to how we should, instead of saying "Oh God", say "Oh Science" or "Oh Aj"...whoever you believe in, if you are not religious...

Today it was totally random. And it was soo funny; I laughed so hard tears came to my eyes, and I even had to step out to the living room right next door to relax. I came out because of two topics. One was about how much hair my brother had. I shouted, "I HAVE WAY MORE HAIR!" and my whole family just burst out laughing...including me. It's nice to be who I am and still be appreciated. The other time was when we were talking about hair, and my dad remarked that my brother has finer hair than me. I asked whether we could clarify that, like a ruler or something. I was just joking, but then he said "Yeah we could, I have it downstairs right now." And I couldn't help but just thrust my head forward with a "SERIOUSLY!?" Then I burst out laughing, and my laughing made my family laugh with me. I excused myself and buried myself into the couch, trying to get a grip. I don't know why I laughed, but it felt good. I hope more dinners are like that.

A Little Bit of Something

So school ended like usual, and this time I remembered to bring my gym uniform home. xD But I still have to turn in that dumb "absent" all-teacher-signing slip...I'm soooo late.

But after school, something funny sorta happened. As soon as I got home, I went straight to Microsoft Word and started typing some sort of news article. Here we go:


The Dark Side of Being Nice

By AjGirl

***

Ever heard of karma? You know, you do a good thing, something good happens to you, and if you do a bad thing, vice versa? Well, don’t have your whole life depend on karma, because it doesn’t always work.

Unknown grader Aj Girl, age unknown, and her mother were driving around in a car on Friday, October 6th at around 4 PM. Mrs. Girl was a very nice person who drove pretty well, and when another car came up from behind to meet her, she let it drive past her. Now, she had just arrived at her destination, and she had already picked out the perfect parking place: no meters, plenty of space, very close to the “37” dessert café. And it was just ahead of her; she only needed to drive a few more yards, and she was there.

Aj was staring out of a side window, daydreaming, when her mother suddenly let out a yelp. “My parking! They stole my parking!” Aj’s head immediately snapped to face the very car her mother had let past, right in front of them-and slowly sliding into the parking space her mother had planned to go into. There was absolute silence.

“It took a while for my head to adjust,” Aj recalls. “I didn’t get what was going on. All I knew was that it was something bad that had happened; I mean, NO ONE would shout ‘They stole my parking!’ for no reason, right?” she adds.

That is right, Aj, something WAS wrong. Her mother had showed the same generous attitude that she usually showed-and paid the price. But luckily, Mrs. Girl had a sense of humor; her shock didn’t last long. In fact, by the time the Super Minor News kid reporters had reached her, she was laughing.

“It’s not really a big deal, and I can’t say that it was wrong,” she admitted. “But maybe I should stop being so nice. After all,” she adds, “it wouldn’t be fun if EVERYONE were nice, right?”

This case has been defined by the involved persons as minor, and has been filed into our “It’s Nothing, But It’s Interesting” folders.

Haha. Isn't it awesome? Comment if you like it :P (By the way, my real name and person info has been changed to "unknown" and "Aj Girl". I'm personal, deal with it :P)

Something else happened to that was minor! My dad was bidding on eBay, and he had 2 more minutes before a bid was decided. He was watching the computer carefully when I bumped into him, and, being the interested girl I am, I decided to watch. So there we were, staring intently at the screen, and all of a sudden I said "Do you think you'll win?" and started a conversation. In fact, we were so occupied, we forgot to watch the screen, and when one minute ticked away, we realized the bid had gone up! So we quickly rebid, but 20 seconds before the auction ended, the bidding price went up waaay past what my dad was willing to spend. So we gave up and guessed what price would win. I guessed 126, and my dad guessed 124. (that's in dollars, folks) As the seconds ticked away, the numbers changed: 118, 120, 122...Come on, a little more!...and as the last second showed up, the number changed to 125. It won. Sheesh, it just HAD to be a number that wasn't guessed, huh?

It's a new week!!

First I need to thank everyone who came here to read my posts, even though I can't think of a good reason why someone would come. >< I will do my best to make this a blog <33 ^^^^^^

Lately I've been sick =o= I've been sick on Thur all the way to Sun (the weekend! D:) and I'm still a bit sick today, but I'm growing better. Hopefully. Too bad that wasn't the swine flu, otherwise I'd already be H1N1-resistant. Everyone stay strong! Wash your hands frequently and don't eat nasty stuff. The swine flu is nothing!

Homework is seriously piling up on me, but I'm slacking off. Mr. Talsky's project (my teacher) was already due today and I turned it in...Mr. Lesausky's assignments are long, and I still have yet to finish them. And there's a short story for Ms. Woodard...and blah...But of course I always have time for my computer. Just so many people are on! At least I know one person who's always on, without fail. It's fun talking to 'em. :) To tell the truth, I hate being alone. It's so scary...

Today I had a super weird dream. I dreamed that I was a voodoo doll and I was being held by a huuge human hand. There was a needle in me, but I didn't feel anything. I felt pretty dead inside. My head felt heavy-that sort of dead. It was scary. Like I wasn't even a person. Like, I'm not who I am...as if I'm someone else, somewhere else. (Quoted from "The Invisible Detective", not a bad book indeed)
