Can I tell you something? If I do, will you promise to hold it in? And if you promised, could you promise that you wouldn't be tempted to tell another soul? I know I'm not a Great listener. I don't really like talking about it either. Unless you're 1/5. (: But other than that--I'll let you read about it.

Independence Day!

Haha; you probably think all of these pictures up on my blog are HELLA random huh? I really liked the lighting with this one (: So bright!
I have this sorta semi-headache right now..and it's ANNOYING. So today...my family and I were supposed to have this BBQ in our backyard ! But...we didn't get it 'planned out' enough so we had to skip it for today....for TOMORROW :D can't wait for that! But it gets better cause my cousins invited us to go to Pacifica and light fireworks with them! We're going down there because it's legal there. So yeaah! I'll include videos/pictures once I get them! lol.
Stay tuned!

Some things you probably didn't know about me...TAG

I just finished some really good takeout (: Thanks, Daddy
Anyways, I just thought I should do an update of little things and details you may or may not know about me..
since the other one is totally on physical appearance & it was really incomplete and I want to fill in those little gaps and get all those negative thoughts you may or may not have of me out of your head. So give me this blog to clear my name.
FIRST OFF, I am under the age of 18 PERIOD. Most of you know that. No need to explain. I act and dress out of my age group..I know. I love it when people take risks when they dress, but I think it's tacky when one follows a specific trend too carefully. Like MIX IT UP! Work with what you've got. I like buying 'classics'..as in things I can still wear when I actually turn 18 haha..yeah. So I tend to buy a tad bit more expensive stuff cause it'll last. Most girls my age will go out and spend all their money and buy 'cheap quality' (NO OFFENSE!) fashionable stuff. Yeah, I'll take one classic thing and mix it up with a BIT of more 'modern' things..I guess. Depends; sorry if this hurts anyone but remember--it's how I feel..you can counter what I think in the comments below (:
Yes I do realize I am a camera whore. I love taking pictures because all of how I look today can be lost by tomorrow. So WHY NOT take all the pictures of your youth now?? You don't stay young forever...I don't like it when someone goes 'NOO, DON'T TAKE PICTURES OF ME!!" hello?? People only want to take pictures with you because you're they're friend in some way right? I don't think it's a beauty contest when people take pictures. It's just really fun! And when people do that for a living! It's pretty awesome. Pictures are a way of remembering how you once were/looked like. Think of it this way (fast and simple) When you're about 50 something and you're kids ask you "Mommy/daddy, how did you look like when you were young??" You won't have much to show them..wouldn't that suck? I sure think it would! If I ever have kids...I have a whole box of CD's filled up to the max of pictures to show them (:
People say I 'know too many people'. I most definitely scoff at that remark because I really don't! I just acquant with them in class over a project or something. And the way I was raised...always say 'hello' to the people you know! You never know! All those gestures and small things you do for someone can lead to something [:
Picky eater---ohmygosh! This one is SO true. I am the pickiest eater on this planet. Crazy cause I'm not skinny whatsoever...so you wouldn't think that huh? Yeah; well let me tell you. I LOVE LOVE LOVE cereal and like bread (: yuum waffles are good too! I don't like Chinese food as much as I used to cause it's usually super oily---I have a REALLY REALLY rare skin condition where if I eat junk food...I get 1-2 hives on my face YEAH. you wouldn't think that because my skins seems to be 'perfect' to some of you. HA-HA. not. I'm also like lol...well I eat more vegetables than I do of meat. I won't eat beef/pork because I can see the fat sticking out...even if it's chicken I just won't eat it. I won't eat fish if there's skin or bones on/in it. If the chicken has skin/bones in/on it, NOPE. yeahh sometimes I even hold the piece of food up to the light to see if I can see any fatty tissue in it -___- mhmm. I know what your'e thinking.
'Perfect' skin? No..my skin is actually REALLy sensitive. If it goes against some food ESP if it's oily...it'll get a hive. Mhmm..especially around my mouth area. I've been taking care of my skin since I was in the 5th grade. So if you see me and I seem to have this 'glow' (which most of my friends claim I have..) welll now you know why I have it. I just don't want to end up like some women who have like age spots and wrinkles at a young age know what I mean? i put sunscreen everyday cause even when it's not sunny--the SUN IS OUT.
'Dot' on side of face..YES, I have a birthmark/mole on the side of my face. It is NOT cancerous---I swear; I've already checked with every doctor in my city. It's just a BIRTHmark. mmhmkay? My mom wanted me to remove it when I was in the 2nd grade--should I have done it? I said no at the time (obviously) cause I had it since I was born and it's been through everything with me...it's like; a part of me. It's like idk..a finger to me? LOL No like...just really important. I don't even notice it. So don't be shy and ask me what it is cause I'd be GLAD to tell you.
"Rich daddy & mommy" HARDY HAR HAR. Everyone who's EVER met/talked to me assumes this of me because I attended a Private school ALL MY LIFE till high school. That's not true at all though. My parents work just as hard, or maybe even harder than yours just to make a living for all FIVE of us. My older sister goes to college so you can just imagine how hard my parents have to work. I know I state that I am 'blessed' in my myspace 'about me', it means that I am 'fortunate' for what I have. Also cause God gave me all this--my life. So yeah! HELL yeah I am blessed to have this life with all of my friends&family who support me! NOT spoiled! NO WAY JOSE. My mother/father don't just buy me whatever I ask for. HAA. That's funny if any of you think that. I seriously EARN all that I have. I have to get the grades they want me to get--in order to get all that I have. I also have a side job---which pays for my shoppingsprees~clothes, electronics, shoes, etc. Basically things I don't really need...(: but yeah! It's the money I earnedd so I can use it however I want.
"SUPERSHOPPER" Yes, I have a problem when it comes to shopping. I remember when I was younger, I would just go out and buy stuff I didn't need at all. Just to prove that I could spend ALL MY MONEy within a day. NOT GOOD. I totally regret all of that because look at our economy! I do love LOVE shopping but who doesn't?? Okay..some people don't because their mother still does it for them but hey! I love choosing out my own things! It makes you feel very independent and that you can do 'little' things for yourself. So yeaah I love shopping, but it's not 'SUPER'.
"Computer addict" Oh yeaah--definitely. I've changed a lot of that though. I only go on if I am SUPER SUPER bored at home or if I just really wanna reconnect with friends and what not. For school too :D But I try and keep my self busy (such as go out and walk around the city, do some sightseeing, take pictures) so I don't have to go on it.
"Believes in fortune cookies/horoscopes even though Christian" Yeaah, I sometimes do because they are SO accurate! Like the magazines I'm subsribed to...like HOLY COW--when the magazine of the month I am born in comes--I read the horoscope and it's DEAD ON right! It's CRAZY. Like it'll say blah blah around this day you'll be hella busy with school work--turns out to be true. And yeah! It's not a daily thing...trust me It's just a recreational thing (: it's pretty fun. But I don't get too worked up into it.
"Bigass house" People who think that I am 'rich/spoiled' quickly assume this of me. They'll go, 'Oh Lo! Can we come over to your house and hang??? I bet it's a bigass house huh??" NO My house is NOT big. It's 2 stories (AVERAGE in this city) with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bath. 2 car garage. The best part of my house that most people in this city wouldn't think of having would be---In my backyard, I have a pond...YEAH, I effing pond. NOT A SWIMMING POOL* It's filled with Koi and Goldfish and some Blackfishies. It has a tiny little fountain you can turn on. It's nothing fancy. It's just this thing my Dad built when he bought the house. I feel kinda special cause we're the only ones in the neighborhood/zipcode with it (: Well that's what one of those PG&E people said when they came in to do the electricity thing...
"You're HELLA tall, Lo!" UMM..No I am not. My doc says I'm average. Which I soo am. The last time I was with the doctor, she said I was 5'4.5". A few days ago, my sister measured me with a tape measure and it said I was 65 inches AKA 5'5" (: That made me a little happy..but we'll have to ask the doc again to make sure!
"You're skinny/fat" I get mixed feelings on this one topic all the time. I get 'skinny' (scoff**) from my friends. But I think they say this cause they don't want to hurt my feelings? Lol...so here's a mini story. A freshman who was on the swim team with me went up to me when I was wearing short shorts and said, "Lo, you're soo skinny!" LOLOL, and she was like <110>
"Why don't you have a boyfriend?" This is actually a pretty good one. Gets me all the time cause I really don't know why. I'm really concentrated in my school work and what not. I actually don't think I'd have to time to have one. I can't always hang out after school. I don't think my parents would like me have phone calls during the evening (when I do homework...) cause they want me to pay attention to school. A boyfriend, to me, would probably be a big mistake in my opinion because I don't want to hurt someone or rush into something I obviously don't have the time for. But maybe during/after college---I'd LOVE to have one. (: BTW, just to put it out there--in case if you were wondering; I've NEVER EVER in my entire life had a boyfriend.
"Drama queen??" Not anymore I'm not. Yes, I admit that ONCE UPON A TIME, in middle school (6-8) that's what it was all about! Yeah, I didn't even know what I was doing at the time until this one girl called me out and said "STOP TRYING TO START DRAMA" I didn't even know what the word meant! But that's what made me realize that I had to quit it. I have stopped doing that since I started high school. I don't get into fights about 'drama'..I get into fights about misunderstandings...which are usually over things my friends and I talk about ONLINE. Gosh I hate that. So I tend to want to talk about things IN PERSON. Just in case...I really do try my best not to be contradicting. One of my bff's just upfront told me that I like to contradict myself a lot. WHICH IS TRUE, when I am deciphering what I should do or something I am new at...I tend to GO BACK on my opinion and change it. I don't find anything bad but I'd really like to change that cause it's not professional.
"You're hella smart" School is always first when comparing to boys, friends, and whatever. Because THAT is the only thing that will matter in the end. School is gonna get you to college. College is gonna get you to your dream job. Your dream job will make you happy and earn you a living. The end! I need school to get to where I wanna be.
"You seem so close to your parents!" I am close to my parents! I tell my mother just about everything! I can't hide these things. Haha..as for my dad--I think he'd rather just not knwo about girl things. (x I can trust my mom/sisters with just about everything. They understand/try to see where I'm coming from which is what I love most. My parents always attend those back to school night things at school. That way they can meet my teachers and TA's just to see what kind of environment I am in at school. They talk to me about it after too. My parents really care about my education, safety, and what not. All the ins and outs. I guess that's why they wanted me to go to a private school all those years. To get a better education and not to be influenced. To have guidance towards the 'right' way? Well all I know is that I'm super grateful to have my parents BE my parents because I know a lot of my friends/people who's parents don't care about where they are, who they hang out/talk to, and where they end up in life. Hearing about all that just makes me see how much my parents love and care for me.
"Parents are over protective" YES, they sure are! I can only sleepover at certain friends' houses--usually the ones who they have met with their parents before. No hanging out with friends afterschool--unless it's a block day, or if I tell them at least 2 days ahead of time. They've given me, what seems to me.., a lot of freedom. Just this year I finally got my set of keys to my house, I learned how to take the bus home in multiple ways (: I'm so proud of myself but then again some people have been doing this since like the 3rd grade.
"You're such a goody goody--too good to be true!" I am! I'm pretty much as innocent as can be! My gal/guy friends tell me that all the time! I don't do all those drugs, weed, pot, crack, drink, bong, & what not stuff. Nope. I'm totally aware of all that though! So no! People get the word 'innocent' mixed up with other things. Yeaah, it's not mixed up with other things..it just means ONE THING=P U R E to the core. & I'd most certainly have to agree with a friend, who also has done a blog on this, saying that quote "hates when people brag about doing all those bad things" I hate it too. It's nothing to brag about at all. It's not cool. It's just taking another precious moment away from your life.
"You're talented!" Well it depends on how you say this...or when you say this. I've taken A WHOLE BUNCH of classes when I was younger. My mom and dad wanted to keep my sisters and I busy and 'on top of things'. Let me list all of the things I've ever taken: Ballet (good times), Art (still can't draw that well), Swimming (Still love it), Personal Trainer (-__-), SAT (helps), Kumon (yup), BrainChild(dislike), Star Learning (NEVER EVER GO THERE, there will be a story for that later on), Piano(glad I took those), Violin(<3),>
"You're pretty strong" Not as in muscle strength! haha..My friends love making fun--sometimes at me. I never seem to mind cause I grew up with sisters who do this on a daily basis! But deep deep down--once you really get to know me. I'm really sensitive! Like no lie!
"Calm" Yeahh, I am cause I really just wait for the outcome. I don't want to jump up with conclusions and end up wrong. So I've learned to really try and be patient with things. Just kinda go with the flow. But I still love tradition (: Change is sometimes good.
"You're PERFECT, Louise" ROFL, THIS IS THE LAST ONE I WILL TALK ABOUT because this is the one I laugh at the MOST! Why? Well..there's also a mini story for this one. I was changing..literally in the lockerroom at Sava Pool when my friend all of a sudden goes "Louise, you're PERFECT" and I'm like in the middle of changing....hhaa. My favorite. Cause I was blushing like crazy. Noooo she's not bi or gay! okay?? She's got a boyfriend already! So relaax. She's been saying crazy stuff like that the day I met her!
To respond to this; NO, I am not perfect. But I do STRIVE to be! That's the point of living! To be the BEST you can be! So that's what I live by. I really dont' think that you can say that someone is 'perfect' just by judging them on their physical appearance/or who they seem to be. You have to really get to know their personality and where they come from and what not to understand.
SO YEAH--that's all the things I oculd come up with! I wanna do another one of these cause it feels so good!
Strangefact: I'm SUPER OCD about where some of my things are in my room/bathroom. Like certain things must be in a certain basket/area OR ELSE I will go CRAZY and search till the dawn of day--till I find it. I swear; I won't go to sleep. I hardly lose things so that's probably one reason why. I'm REALLY organized..lol here's an example. I have a whole much of electronics...I have a container where ALL those chargers go--separating ones for phones, to those for ipods, and cameras blah blah balh (: YEAH I know right? One day I'll show you guys my room (if you never saw it) and yyou will see! If you ever come into my room w/o telling me beforehand...you'll see a lot of clothes thrown across the beds (except mine) cause my little sister loves making messes she doesn't even use her closet...so yeah I'm trying to get her to organize more! but yeah! Thanks for reading (:

Lesson Learned

So yesterday night, I was being a little myspace whore and just reading some about me's and what not. It's funny, but I feel really enlightened. I was reading this one girls (don't want to mention any names) but I really admire her about me. It speaks a lot of her and what she's learned to do and not to do. Even though she's a year younger than me, she seems like she has already grown up---faster than her older sister it seems.

Everyone always tells me that I am very mature for my age---and say that I don't look like my age. Hmm. I find this as a compliment not as an insult really. I learned from her that WOW I don't know how to explain this but like you know when you talk to a friend about a friend? It's starting stuff that you probably don't want. I didn't know that. I'm really trying not to do that but I think that people talk about people because they are bored and they don't have anything else to talk about in their conversation.

I really thank her for 'teaching me' so much. She inspires me to be a better person and strive to live a healthier relationship with everyone. It's not just knowing people---it's also about caring for each one of them and their feelings. I know. I'll probably be less fun to talk to and what not. But if this makes me a better person and helps another person become a better self then HEY! Why not?! (:

So I just wanted to THANK YOU. If you were to ever need anyone else to talk to, You can talk to me. Promise.

Competition

My mom once told me that out of all three of us (daughters), I am the closest towards her. Random I know. I've kinda always kept things to myself. That's just the way I was raised. 'If you see someone doing something bad on the street, don't look at them, point at them, just walk away' So yeah. People usually see this as an 'advantage' of some sort to get through to me..but it doesn't work cause I know those tricks all too well. I wouldn't quite categorize myself as the quiet type either cause I totally speak up for myself & for the ones I care for. Also for the people whom I believe are right---even if they are random. Not quite outspoken either. I know when to like 'stop' at a certain point in conversations--like people who just do NOT want to talk to you. On aim, myspace, facebook, youtube, blogs, EVERYTHING---I respond fairly quickly. Not to brag but I do. And sometimes--like I'm not trying to suggest anything and what not but like some people, who probably don't like me/ hate me/ for odd reasons, just respond with like this 'mean' way idk how to descibe it! but that's just how I feel and it makes me sad cause I feel like we were good friends at one point---got reunited--and then found me annoying? is that possible?? I don't know. It just makes me really sad cause they seem like such a NICE person through pictures and stuff but when you actually talk to them it's like WTF..i dont' think I deserve to be treated that way but then again I don't want to be a bother & I don't enjoy talking to those who don't wish to talk to me. I really don't like the the 'ice breaker' where you haven't talked to someone in a while and go 'soo how's it been going' and that person is like busy or doesn't want to talk to you. You know that feeling? I don't wanna like stop talking to them in general. ): Saddens me. I am a person who loves to be friends with EVERYONE. It's just this trait I have. I know some people find that annoying cause everytime I walk down the hallway...I always say HI to everyone I know/met OR someone I know/met says hi back to me and all those HI's and Bye's make up the majority of my day. Hopefully one day I can clear things up. I wish I can just say "I wish things would be the way I want them to be" and they would! But that's like summoning the sky and earth to collide with one another...aka IMPOSSIBLE. I tend to blog a LOT. Sorry. But blogging is quite fun. I like how my Bestie always stays somehow in contact with me. I think it's real cute when he comes up with the funniest things to say and they just make up my day. Like everytime (: I love him very much. And I hope he knows that by now w/o me saying it. Next time the opputunity comes up, I will tell him. Just wait and see & of course you guys will the first to know about it ;) Niightxoxo
