| Yeah, finally, I make an entry, like, after 100 years. Hahaha.
I nearly gave up on blogging as I had no reason to update, and I got caught up w/ alot of crap. But now I'm in the mood to blog again... but SCREW XANGA! Not that Xanga is bad or anything, but I thought I'd go for something more of.. my own.
Crystalicious desu!
This will be my new blog from now on. Please stayed tuned for more Crystal-ness! :D
Farewell, Xanga. You were a good friend.

| Yeah, I haven't updated for a LONG LONG time. I made a new record in
not updating huh? Haha. Anyway... I got really really busy these days
and I lost motivation to update it. Many things happened.
Let's see... I should start with where I left off last time. I
transferred school after 1 day. Guess what? They took away the Comp Sci
AP class.. so there was no point in going to Walnut anymore. I do admit
tho, I really DO miss Walnut. :( I miss everyone there.. all the fun I
had in english class last year... everything!
I have these classes now back in Wilson: (in order from 1st to 6th): IB
Comp Sci SL, PE, Pre-Calc H, Chem, US Hist AP, Eng 3 AP. But I'm dying
of the AP classes, and it's my junior year. So yeah.. not good. I did
create a club tho, the cooking club, named Cook n' Bake from Michelle's
idea. We're not doing so well though, I'm kinda disappointed. I'm going
to try and revive it in the new year. I guess that'll be my goal. :)
I've been so busy with school I haven't got much time to do anything.
The only other thing I'm doing is fansubbing now. Well, I made a fansub
called Shiawase. We're not that big, but we're doing the anime
"Happiness".But because of a few reasons we're being really slow... :(.
We're planning to do Shuffle! Memories in a matter of few days. I hope
we'll be faster in this new year, and to pick up new projects after we
actually finish Happiness!.
I'm glad for the holidays tho, since theres no school, just anime and
games. It was fun. But starting today I have to work on the homework
and studying again. *sigh* Yeah I'm really hating school. Oh by the
way, I don't hang out with Tiffany as much anymore. I go hang with
whoever I
feel like hanging with now. About the classes... I guess I don't like
my teachers this year or something. I don't know. After going back to
Wilson, I kinda lost my motivation to go on. I hope to find that
motivation again. Yeah, that's bout it.
For Christmas, I was alone again. Oh well... it doesn't matter, I guess. I made this card for everyone tho:
Well then, happy new year 2007 for everyone who like the new year. I
know I'm not happy about the new year... *sigh* Meh... oh well.

| Summer is over. In 2 hours, I have to go to school. I thought I should
update this blog with one thing in mind before starting a new complete
year.
It was short. Summer, that is. I completed SRC with an A.. and got my
pink slip to get my permit. I guess tho, I can't get it... I really
hate immigration stuff, from the bottom of my heart. Oh well.. I guess
thats just the way it is huh? I really owe Julia one, for driving me so
many times during summer school. I wish someday I don't have to depend
on people so much. I love everyone, I really do.. so I don't want to
give them a burden.
My aunt came to LA to visit for a while. It was fun, I haven't seen her
since I was like 5 or so, I can't remember already. Meeting her was
almost like meeting someone I never met before, I don't know much about
her, but I think she's really kind. I'm glad that she came and visit
tho, she gave me company so I didn't feel so lonely.
I didn't really do much. I went to Little Tokyo with a few friends from
my private channel on the 19th (well, I know them from AX too, you can
say). We didn't really do much but walk around and chat, but it made it
worthwhile. We went to Ray's parent's resturant for dinner. It was abit
sweet for chinese food, but good regardless. Especially the shrimp. The
staff appreciation dinner (26th) was alright. The food was crap, to be
honest. I learnt something important from that night tho. "Never expect
anything great. Be strong, always." :)
To be honest now, my summer was only two weeks. Whole summer was 3
months, and 2 months were wasted on summer school. Then I spent 2 weeks
playing video games, catching up on my anime. Then 2 weeks doing my
summer reading crap last minute. I was supposed to finish 3 books, but
I only finished 1. I'll just sparknote the other 2, I guess. I decided
to not read those 2 books because I really want to enjoy what's left of
my summer. I started (and finished) watched Ganbatte Ikimasshoi.
Honestly, the story was great, but the actresses they chose was bad. I
started (and almost finished) 1 Litre of Tears. I think I lost too much
water in two days watching those jdoramas. I'll finish that series
after I get back from school today I guess.
Before I start this year.. I have a few goals to set in mind.
One. I have to be strong, no matter what. This will be hard to get used to at first.
Two. I will find good new friends and be more social.
Three. I will not quit any of my honor or AP class like last year, and
I will try to plan my schedule better and keep my grades up.
Four. I will join a club that I can take a major role in. (I'm planning
to make a new club, cooking club. I guess I can talk to principal and
give it a try.)
Five. Start fulfilling my community service hours. I want to help out
in disabled children school. Or help out with hospital for old people.
(Influenced by 1 Litre of Tears)
Six. Start deciding what I want to do with life, how to spend my future. Start deciding what college I really want to go to.
With these things set in mind... I shall start my new school year. Ganbatte.. ikimass.. SHOI!

| I was going to post sooner but I got caught up in other things like
trying to find a flash file. XD AX was LOTS of fun, most of it anyway.
So.. I'll do this like a diary format.
<diary>
Thursday, June 29
I was really excited about AX. Julia picked me up and we (including
Vivian) went to Banana Bay to eat lunch. But 1 problem, I've tried most
of the things that I thought was interesting on the menu already, so I
decided to try something new. BAD IDEA! I chose Chicken Bamboo Shoot
Rice or whatever that was. So when I got home I took a small nap.. and
by the time I woke up I saw all these bumps on my arms that looked like
mosquito bites. There was like 4 or 5.. so I was like "what sort of
lame mosquito did this?" and went back to sleep. Next time I woke up
there was about 10 or so.. but I STILL thought it was mosquito bites.
So.. next time I woke up, there was like 20? I was really scared. By
the time my parents got home I had like 30 to 40 already on my arm. It
was really itchy. My mom first described it as something that won't
heal for a week.. so I was like WTF NOOO TOMORROW I GOTTA GO TO AX!! I
later found out I was allergic to bamboo, I never ate bamboo before. I
had what people would called hives. By that night, those damn hives
were all over my body.. and I couldn't sleep the whole night.
Friday, June 30
I woke up and thought I was better.. well.. at least that's what I was
telling myself because I couldn't miss AX since it was once in a year
chance. All my hopes will be down the drain if I didn't go. I wore long
sleeve because my arm was really bad from the hives. Man, it was
friggin hot! But then again, hives was getting to me more than the heat
did. So Eric came early to get a ride in the morning, and I was packing
up. I end up didn't make the onigiri as I promised because the hives
and that I didn't have enough time. Anyway.. I arrived at ACC around
9am or so, picked up my badge and stuff from HR, then went to
Registration and sat around just to look at people coming in to line up
already. I checked into my hotel room at noon, sat around for abit and
then had to head down to Reg again to start working. That day tho, I
felt like crap, I was super tired because of lack of sleep, and didn't
feel at place at all because of the hives. Registration that day was
very smooth, people hardly had to line up at all unless they waited
since morning. People basically just walked up and got it done with,
and we got lots of compliments. We were semi-late to the all staff
meeting tho, but then I didn't miss anything. Anyway, after all staff
meeting, we went to dovac's hotel room and just stood for a while..
then I headed back to the hotel room because I was really beat.
Saturday, July 1
Now, I woke up really early, but I at least got abit of sleep. This was
the real day. Registration was HELL. The people that were supposed to
help in line up wasn't there and guess what? People were in the wrong
line.. and there was almost no way to tell them to go to the right one.
This was the first time I had to go pick up money.. and it was hell
because I had to go up the stairs many times that day, and my foot was
painful by the end of the day. My break was 12-2pm or something, but
dropping off my money took 1 hour of it, and I wasn't too fond of that.
:( During that break, I put in my raffles and stuff and got lunch, and
that was all, and then I had to go back to work already. :( I got a
papercut too from one of the attendee's paper or whatever. I wanted to
go watch AMVs but I really wanted to go to Claim Jumper with the other
ppl who helped alot with pre-con stuff. I'm sorta glad I didn't go to
AMVs tho, I heard this year was truly crap. I was sorta sad that
suberunker didn't qualify to get in the competition, but he was listed
as a special entry. Claim Jumper was lots of fun, I ordered Baby Back
Ribs that was really BIG, bigger than I expected. I only ate so little
(I was semi-full already from my drink) so I had to take almost
everything to go. It didn't fit in the fridge, though, so I told my mom
to come in the morning before my shift to get it. (By the time of after
AX, all my ribs were gone. T_T)
Sunday, July 2
My hives STILL weren't gone, and I was starting to get really worried.
But as the day went on, it got better, and my hives were disappearing.
I actually registered Tiffany and her friends too, it was sorta funny.
During my 1st break, I actually got my first visit to Exhibits Hall..
yay! It was big this year, big big! I didn't get to see it much last
year so that was sorta disappointing. I got my Viz bag... so happy!
Though in my opinion, exhibits hall wasn't as fun as it used to be in
2003, but that was from an attendee point of view. After exhibit hall,
we went to check the raffle winners, and I was happy to hear that I won
a sketch from Koge-Donbo. Everyone in our group (boon, Kuriri, Ann, and
me) won something. After that we got lunch and went on duty again,
though it was short since we were off duty for the whole day 3 hours
later. I just hung out with Tiffany and their friends for a while and
that was fun too. At 6, I went to say hi to a few people from irc meet
before I ran off to line up with my friends at 6:30pmish for the
yozuca* and rino concert. I was really happy that they were way up in
the front of the line! dovac and cy cy had body pillows, so it was
really funny in my opinion. The concert didn't start until like 8:15pm
if I remembered right. But.. I gotta say this.. THE CONCERT WAS THE
BEST.. EVER! Rino-san is so cute.. ^^ After that, we went back to our
hotel room and that was it.
Monday, July 3
Yes, I skipped a day from school for AX. AX > School ANYDAY! This
day I almost got the whole day off because I requested it beforehand.
We got a break starting from 1pm and we ran to the yozuca* panel. The
panel was pretty boring.. except for photo time! We took a huge group picture
of yozuca* fans. You'll see me hiding in there somewhere D: I took a
picture with yozuca* alone afterwards.. and I feel special because I
was the only one who did this! Other people didn't bother to ask and
just took a pic with her off stage ahahaha~. After that, we went on
duty again, and did NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING! There was no lines, no
customers, and we just went on 4ch or whatever from our registration
terminals. Lmao... (shhh!!) Soon after we got off duty again, I went to
ate some AX 15th anniversary cake, then I went to the SOS-dan meeting
that I organized. Lets just say it wasn't the best. There was sooooo
many people... crowd number I didnt expect at all. I was going to make
them have a introduction thingy but no one listened to me. Cy cy had to
yell at the crowd for me. I borrowed a corner of Hall C (mostly because
it was empty) for the meet.. and access control sorta got worried or
something at first haha. I was sad that we only had 7 dancers (out of a
crowd of maybe 40).. and most of them didn't know how to dance. I was
so busy because I was trying to deal with them and access control at
the same time.. man, that was fun. >_> After the failed dance
(which shall be posted on youtube soon, hopefully), we took a group
picture. Cy cy helped take picture of the picture takers.
After that, of a crowd of so many people, we only got 10 people
(including myself) to go to Curry House. It was good tho, and we had
alot of fun. I would never forget Kevin's "I'd hit that." Afterwards...
I got really bored and hotel room, and Kuriri ditched me to watch
Haruhi 14 at dovac's room, so I hung out at Carl's room. Haha first
time I went to his room I forgot my hotel key and had to call hotel
service to get me in. Anyway, I went on Carl's laptop for awhile for
irc, then played on his ps2.. omg his collection of games was
<3<3<3!! We watched a few AMVs from previous years and that
was about it. I was starting to get really tired so I went back to
hotel room to relax then sleep.
Tuesday, July 4
This was probably my best day of the con. We
got the whole day off, and I actually got a chance to sleep. I put my
stuff in boon's car and went to eat lunch. They were serving pocky..
and I got myself my strawberry pocky <3. Too bad no one got me some
more strawberry pocky for me. :( After lunch, we went around exhibit
hall until we came down to The Indigo's concert at Geneon booth. It was
really good, I sneaked in the front cuz Bryan was there. XD I took 1
picture and then my whole film was done.. DAMN! I had a new film but
SOMEONE just had to pull it when I asked them help to put it in
>_>. Afterwards.. we stayed at exhibit hall.. even after it was
closed hoping a booth would give away free stuff.. but NONE did..
*sniff*. Eventually, we ended up at Art Show.. and was stuck there
because Kuriri wanted that wooden sword.. damn it was a waste of
time... we were there for like.. 2 hours or so. We went to visit
closing ceremonies for a while at 6pm.. but me and boon wanted to visit
dead dog so we left Kuriri because he wanted to see yozuca*.. haha.
Dead Dog was fun at first, because people done funny stuff on the dance
floor. But afterwards I went to check if my sketch was ready yet.. and
then found out that Koge-Donbo left before she signed anything because
she got really really sick. :( Anyway.. I got some glowsticks at Dead
Dog. After we were bored with that, we went to watch fireworks from
Disneyland on the balcony of ACC. It was great. It was 10 by the time
it ended then we headed to the arcade open for only staff. That was fun
too, but I had to leave at 11ish because my parents were calling me
like no tomorrow and boon wanted to go home and stuff.. had to get my
stuff >_<. I didn't get home until like 12:30am to 1 or
something. But overall, this year AX kicked ass, comparing to last
year! (Except for a few aspects.)
</diary>
I couldn't even wake up the next morning, and I did really horrible on
the test because I can't remember anything since I was having too much
fun at AX. I was chosen to do a presentation too.. and I was too tired
to even by shy so I just read whatever I had. I was dead by the time I
got home haha.. slept so much. The week went on normal.
I planned for Bryan's suprise birthday.. but it was a failure haha. At
first he said he was free the whole day so I said I'm going to his
house to look at artbooks, and at last minute when I was leaving the
house he told me his friends were taking him out for dinner. (I was
like NOOO SHITT!!) Dave picked me up, and then he had to go back to his
house to finish some stuff. I called Carlo (who was near Bryans house
for a long time already) to just go to his house and suprise him. I was
still on the phone with him, and Bryan said "that was random" hahaha~!
Anyway, I bought Bryan this ice cream cake for his birthday.. since I
can't figure what to give him for his birthday. We went to Kappo Honda
to eat.. and the bill split per person (excluding Bryan cuz we will
never let him pay on his birthday) was $34. My my, it was a killer.
Afterwards we went to Jason's place to eat cake and just to talk and
play DDR. Haha.. that was so fun tho. Dave had to leave early because
he had a curfew. :( Anyway.. Jason drove Bryan home, and my.. Bryans
house was HUGE! Then.. Bryan drove me home. I still kinda felt bad that
he took me home.. but he said it was ok. He's so sweet! ^^ After that
night.. man.. was I dead AGAIN. I was so tired and I went into zombie
mode at school, and did bad on another test. Oh well, that test was gay
anyway.
OK! Enough of mumbling, time for the flash. Man.. I couldn't figure out
what to put until last minute. Note that I don't go on flash boards
anymore so I'm not getting anything new D: This be... a parody version
of Full Metal Alchemist 4th Opening (Asian Kung-Fu Generation -
Rewrite). It wouldn't be funny unless you actually watched the real
version first.

| It's been a while. I've been keeping myself busy with summer school and AX stuff.
Anyway,
regular school ended, I did pretty good on my finals. I'm taking SRC in
summer school... easy hell course. :D I really hate having to wake up
at 6:50 though since class starts at 7:30. Been losing alot of sleep
lately, but thats because I'm helping out with emails for registration
department. We've been getting like 200 emails a day this week... I
hate it. But yeah, I think I made my teacher (Gomez) hates me hahaha.
Oh well. XD
With AX just a few days always, this is probably my
last time posting before AX. I haven't gotten my yukata yet, been too
busy to look for it. Maybe I'll get one at AX with my luck. Who knows!
^^ I'm really excited that yozuca* and rino (CooRie) are going to be
guests, screw CLAMP! For everyone who's going for CLAMP, I sorta feel
sorry for you! yozuca* > CLAMP and rino > CLAMP. I'm pretty
excited about Koge-Donbo too, I hope I win a sketch from him. Can't
wait until everything at AX, EVERYTHING!!! yozuca* & rino concert,
sos-dan meeting, etc etc. So excited! For everyone who's going, come by
registration to say hi :D!
Hmm.. this is a little out of place
but I feel I should add it here. I got really pissed today. Yesterday I
tried to feed a paper dollar to this vending machine to get a green
tea, and it didn't work because it's sorta broken or something. So
today I show up with 3 quarters, 2 dimes, and 1 nickel. I couldn't find
the other quarter... so oh well. Anyway, I feed it to machine, and it
ate every dime I put in. EVIL MACHINE! I didn't have enough money for a
drink, again, and it ate $0.20 of mines. :( Also, ever since summer
school started, I always took the bus from behind the school to the
mall, and I would either walk home or Julia would give me a ride. But
today, Tiffany's mom was able to take her home, so I thought I would
catch an earlier bus home, WRONG! I guess I missed the 10:45ish bus
from their house, since there's not alot of business around that time
so buses will be a little early, and her mom sorta came late. Anyway,
so I wait for the next bus, and it came. After 2 or 3 blocks, it broke
down. I got so pissed.. omg... what a waste of my time. I had to call
Julia to pick me up Hong Kong Market. :(
Anyway
yeah.. I better get busy. I have a project to do and I also need to
finish these emails for registration. All my time needs to be dedicated
to packing tomorrow! :D Well, peace!
