NINE THINGS I HATE WHEN PEOPLE DO THESE STUFF...

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the heck is yours?

so i just came back from anaheim.(sp?) it was a BLAST! i got to go to disneyland with my friends from a-choir and a-band. the boring part was when we had to compete, which is the reason why we came all the way down to L.A. the band and the choir got first out of like..... 10 other schools. we did pretty good, i guess. we got 8 trophies out of 12. but personally, i don't think we sang that great, and other schools were pretty good too. i guess i should be happy, but idk, it doesn't seem like we really deserved the trophies.

ok, well disneyland. i go there like every 4 months these years. i went there 3 times last year, and it's my second time this year, (1 was in florida though.) ummm,,, i can't go on roller coasters, so i hang around with my "non-rollercoaster buddies" ; devin and ryan. we're all short, and scared of heights, and hates drops. i actually went on two rollercoasters, except it wasn't that big of a ride. it was still scarrryy....: i went on matterhorn and big thunder mountain" the drops were on curves, so that was ok, but it was still scary. jeez, what am i going to do when i go to great america???

ttyl~~~ sato

hmmm, this week's been ok. at least there was no school... but then there's always an end for breaks... today's friday, and there's always an weekend, so that leaves me three more days.

since we didn't go to a vacation-like place this time, i got to stay home with my brother. my mom goes to college, and my dad goes to work. i always go running during the mornings. and my brother is usually still asleep when i get home. i make my own breakfast, and then do my homework.(for my japanese school) i finish at around 11:30~1:00, depending on what kind of homeworks i had that day. history, i can't do. we have to learn about the whole history for japan.. do you know how long it is? well, it's sure longer than the history of america. we eat our lunch. and since my brother wakes up at around 11:00, i sometimes help him on his homework, and if not, i read besides him.

not having parents home with you all day. is that a good thing or no? i thought it was pretty fun in the beginning since i can do whatever i want. when your parents are home, they tell you to this and that, including homeworks. but sometimes, i feel like something is missing. other people always have their parents to depend on, but we never feel like that. when the others are unhappy with their parents, i feel like they are so lucky to even fight with their parents. i'm not trying to say "how come my parents are never home when i need them" or anything like that. i like my parents as is. my dad works for magnets, and his company produces the best out of the world. i like having my dad work at such a good place. my mom goes to college, and not so many parents does that. i don't want her to quit, just because of my complainments. my mom comes home at least around 7. we talk, for a while. what happened today, what i did today, and all those stuff. my dad, we don't even know what time he comes home. sometimes early, sometimes really late at night. and i understand, he's really busy. my parents are home during the weekends. i'm ok with weekends. so no complainments there.

i need to organize my head. i'm really confused, with what i'm thinking towards my parents. i'll do something about it. but whenever i think "i can handle this myself," something bad happens. i'll do something. that's all i can say for now.
