Two Days until Christmas

Two days until Christmas and I'm already anxious. Isn't anybody who celebrates Christmas?

Anyways, let me explain my break so far starting Friday.

Friday was a great day. I wasn't so stressed out...or should I say at all. The last two weeks have been so frustrating and stressful with different problems stacking one on another, most of them personal, but even so. My friends and the happiness on Friday made all the better. I got two stuffed animals as presents--one from my best friend Kristine and one from Secret Santa in 0 period, which I'm still curious, who gave to me. Kristine was one of my best friends in middle school. Sadly, she could not come to FVHS, but had to go to another school. Then she had some principal problems and is now home-schooled in a way. But she's coming next year :D She sent her gift through my other best friend Emily. Along with the stuffed animal puppy from Kristine were some baked cookies! Yum ^^ I named the puppy "Itachi" after Kristine's favorite character in middle school. Emily's new best friend Kaleigh (a.k.a. Steve :D I call her Steve because that's what it says on her jacket she wears often) reminds me so much of Kristine, which makes me miss her more. Anyways...

I've gotten really attached to Kevin lately, but I guess I've gotten attached to all my close friends lately (Kevin A., other Kevin A.... actually Soph. Kevin, and Freshman Kevin :D There we go; Ben, and David. And maybe Gilbert.). Soph Kevin (forget it. I'm calling these peeps by their nicknames; Klink) gave me a big special dark chocolate Hershey bar [I don't like dark chocolate, but I don't mind]. David gave me a bag of chocolates :D Gilbert was absent, but gave me a black beret yesterday! [Yay!!! (At Disneyland, I kept asking to wear his tuba beret ^^)] Hmm...well the bandos are just so fun to be around.

Ahh...what else...After school, my brother (Alex) and I went to take our martial arts test at our academy to test for our purple belts. [Jin Pal Hapkido Martial Arts Academy] The test started at 6pm and I was slightly shaking a bit with nervousness. But I passed! Yay :D The test was very interesting. I thought the red belt test would be most interesting, but I was wrong; the blue-brown belts were most interesting. When the adult brown belt was going to do a front snap kick to break a board the two pieces flew up at the ceiling, which was intense. The self defense was interesting too with the falling back. It looks like they were going to break their necks! Well, I passed and I'm happy. The belts are a bit smaller then our last belts (orange), but whatever. After martial arts, my dad and mom took us out to go eat dinner. It was late, so it took us awhile to find a resturant, but we ate at My Nguyen (I think that's what it was called). I ate Pho Xao (Pho noodles with sauce and seafood combination on a platter). I love Pho Xao.

That's basically it for Friday.

On Saturday, I really wished to sleep in, but I guess my mom wouldn't let me. -sigh- Um...Saturday is kind of fuzzy, so...My parents cleaned the house...uh...We went to Mervins...twice o.o...That's all I remember :D Haha. Oh, yeah. I got so bored, I started making paper bag puppets with contruction paper of my friends and I. Yay for me and boredom. ON TO SUNDAY!

On Sunday...today ^^b...

Um...I slept last night with my dog (Casey; 2 year old chihuahua/pug mix) secretly [my parents hate it when I sleep with my dog :D], but, apparently, she woke me up early and I had a hard time going back to sleep. She kept licking my face and my hands and I kept thinking, "Ugh...Casey, go back to sleep." I eventually got up though...Eventually... :D Uh...Well, I basically just walked around the house, watched TV, played on the computer, and continued working on my paperbag puppets. My desk was covered with construction paper. I finished making Klink and I'm working on me right now. I didin't get to finish though. Apparently, my cousin Chi Phuong is over for Christmas from attending the University of Minnesota to be a doctor. So we went over to my cousin Tony's (Tony Nguyen; He's a senior at FVHS plays 1st clarinet in FVRR) and a little gettogether there with Tony's other cousins on my uncle's side--Bell and Chi. We hung out as the adults were downstairs, my dad made us take some studio pictures in my uncle's photo studio in the garage, sang Happy Birthday to Tony and Bell (it was belated, but -shrugs-), and just hung out again. Oh yes, we eat food and cake, too. Of course (and yet, I am tempted to say Por Supuesto, instead :D Yay for 1 semester Spanish. You should hear the 1 Semester Spanish song on Youtube).

Well, I'm just typing out this blog right now, as Bell, Chi, and Chi Phuong are looking over the photos my dad and uncle took in the studio. Bored to death, I think I shall end this blog now. I haven't typed this much in awhile. Haha. Write back later!
