Happy Father's Day! I think that it's so cool that Chinese people celebrate Father's Day on August the eighth because August the eighth is ba ba. Get it? haha.
And I gave my dad the card I made for him. C:
I finished packing for Taiwan, too. I leave tomorrow tomorrow! but I don't really want to go this year. I kind of just want to stay here this summer. I will miss everyone terribly! D: I hate getting homesick.
Anywho, today my dad and I went to buy two of my aunt gifts. we went to TJMax, Loehmann's and the mall. we went to a lot of stores in the mall: Burlington Coat Factory, Off Fifth Saks Avenue, Marshalls, and Calvin Klein.
We finally saw just what we were looking for at Calvin Klein. it took us quite a while to pick out the best bag, though. in the end, we paid for a black Calvin Klein bag. the design on the bag suits my aunt. I'm pretty sure that my aunt will like it. :I
For my other aunt, we found her a Coach bag from Loehmann's. I guess it looked alright. It's just that I preferred the other Coach bag. I thought that it'd look better on her. but oh well, the one we got was pretty, too. C:
VBS starts tomorrow! I hope it goes well. we worked so hard to prepare the decorations! I got the 2-3 graders! ahh, I wish that I could stay for the whole thing! I can only help out for 2 days. D: I'm sorry Connie!

It is 2pm
"Jenjang na weh iluhni weh ee yuja yuppeh noowuh itni
Dodehcheh myut bunjjeh I jisseul duh hehbwaya nehga jungshineul chalillunji
Nooga jom nal uhdi ehda mookgguhjwuh uhsuh jebal
She's a bad girl, I know (I know)
But here I go again, oh no"
Basically the first line and the last two lines because I don't know the rest...yet. x) I shall learn the rest of the rap. 8D
And this part too:
"weh geulunji molla weh geulunji molla"
Ugh! so addicting! gosh 2pm! I really want to learn the dance too!
So far I think I like Jaebeom and Junsu and Taecyeon the best. C:
Don't know who's better still.
I must get to know them better.

A Card for Papa
Today was gloomy, a bit.
A lot of decorating for vbs done, though.
What I did:
1. Paint warning signs
2. Paint grass
3. Paint a shack
4. Cut out foil bugs
5. Hang up leaves
6. Fix up a tree
Besides that, I also learned the hand motions to the vbs songs, part of the Gee dance....and played wallball. oh yeah, plus I made 2 beautiful mini posters of Kim Hyun Joong/Rain. we cut out the pitcures from the entertainment section of the newspaper. 2 of my friends helped me..and they turned out brilliant! helped me improve my korean. haha.
The vbs songs gave me good leg workout today. maybe a tad too much. x) but it was fun! C: even though this year's songs werent as good as last year's.
After vbs songs, we had an interesting little tea party. interesting, indeed.
Oh, yes. yesterday, we went to one of our youth counselor's house. we had a yummy BBQ! & we played Apples to Apples! my favorite game of all time! C: after worship and the message came the best part...KARAOKE! aaahh, I love karaoke! but I didnt get to sing what I wanted to sing (Zen Me Ban--S.H.E.) because we ran out of time. D: I wish I had a karaoke machine.
Tomorrow is Father's Day and I'm making a card for my papa. :I

Up
Haha,
Today was the eighth grade breakfast. and it wasn't that good. we only had donuts and bagels and fruits. the only drinks were from our own school--milk, chocolate milk, and orange juice. the bagels were nasty. the fruits were my favorite. strawberrys, cantelope, kiwi, peach, and grapes. compared to last year, this year's breakfast really sucked.
Last year, they had pancakes and waffles and real breakfast food. how come they gave us such bad food this year? and last year's eighth graders went to Great America for their outing while we had to go to Saratoga Springs.
Anywho, we stayed at school 'til 10:00am. and then we're officially freshmen/women! everyone cried today. D: it made me feel so sad. i'm going to miss everybody! especially those going to different high schools! D:
Everyone said their last farewells at 10:00. D: afterwards, me, Amy, and Brenda went to the movies to watch Up. when we were still at school, we realized that two other big groups were going, too. including Pearl! so we decided to be smart and get our tickets before they get sold out. we rushed to the theaters and were the first to get our tickets! haha. oh yeah, we got really cool 3D glasses, too. they're actually the framed ones! C:
I had to ask for another pair of 3D glasses because I lost mines. I had no idea when and where I lost them. but when we went in to watch the movie, I realized that they weren't in my pocket. so I had to go and ask for another pair. the guy was nice enough to give me another pair! yay!
Up was a really good movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. it was pretty funny! Russell is such a cute little boy! and Mr. Frederickson is a dandy 'ol man.

Eighth Grade Promotion
yay,
I graduated yesterday! C: I arrived there about 20 minutes early, though. and then it took me forever to find the rest of Sierramont Class of 09 because Piedmont Middle people were there too. so we got all mixed up and conjumbled.
I finally found everybody else. so we lined up at the back of Parkside Hall for approximately half an hour. everyone was so anxious. finally, finally at 3:00, Sierramont Class of 09 entered Parkside Hall.
With two days straight of practice, we graduates looked like professionals. we stood up and sat down at precisely the same time. and also did what we were supposed to do at every cue. the graduation ceremony took a little more than an hour.
It took me such a long time to find my parents. D: I eventually found my dad. and it turned out that my mom left early with my sister because she said that there was way too many people. so I took a lot of pictures with my friends. it was a once in a lifetime moment.

Mushroom Boy
Hmmm,
So today we spent the first three periods sitting and standing for graduation practice. it got so annoying. we walked in and out of the gym a million times, I think. and stood up and sat down a bajillion times. D:
But I got a valedictorian badge and award. C:
and so did 23 other people. :) I got a bit upset because my counselor read my name as "Helen Dang". and then my counselor yelled at me for taking so long to get up onto the stage because I wasn't sure if it was me that he called. stupid old english font. D:
So I told my P.E. teacher what happened.
(or rather my friends did) and he made me go and tell my counselor that he read my name wrong. I think that he wanted me to learn how to stand up for myself, which I knew how to do already. I told him that it wasnt necessary, but he insisted. D: and what could I do? so he walked me to my counselor's office and made me tell him. my friends went with me, too. so this whole group of people just stood outside of my counselor's office watching me tell him that he said my name wrong. it was a bit awkward.
Anywhoo, I got Taemin in my autograph pages now.
my friend just had to put a picture of him in there. I told her that she could keep it but she was so generous that she gave it to me. she hates mushroom boy, btw. she gave me a picture of Key, though! thank you!

Cinnamon is Too Sweet
This is the last week of school! :O oh boy, time goes by real fast! I finally got my autograph pages! I hope that I can get everyone to sign it before school's out!
I got my gown today, too. I haven't tried it on yet. I hope it looks okay on me. I got the 5'-5'2'' one, so it better be long enough. C:
My hand smells really nice today. C: it smells like raspberries because my friend wrote on it with a raspberry scented marker. I can't stop smelling my hand! I was smelling my hand every five minutes at school today. C:
My friend had other scented markers. there was green apple, cinnamon, cherry, orange, vanilla, etc. but the raspberry one was my favorite! green apple was good, too. but I didn't like the cinnamon one. for some reason, I just don't like cinnamon-scented things. I think that it's "too sweet" for my nose. haha.
Yesterday, I re-watched Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. that made me really happy because I love Lord of the Rings! oh yeah and I really want to watch Up! I need to find a day to go to the theaters. C: I can't wait 'til Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince comes out in July!

Mardi Gras/Masquerade Dance
Today, we got our yearbooks! well, I didnt get one because I didnt buy one. :O I should have bought one though, now that I've seen it. but it's $40, which is too expensive. D: I shouldnt have bought one last year, huh? ergh. but then last year I was in yearbook class and I wanted to keep my work, so I bought one.
The autograph pages are $2 this year! the price went up by one dollar! :O I think last year, since I was in yearbook, I got one for free. but $2 for one is really expensive, too!
The Mardi Gras/Masquerade Dance is today! i'm not going, though. C: I changed my mind and that made my friends rather mad. at first, I wasnt going because I was sick. but now that I'm quite better, I'm still not going. for some reason, I just don't want to go anymore. I didnt want to go in the first place, anyways.
I'm going to have a potluck tomorrow! yum.

Saratoga Springs
Yesterday I went on my eighth grade outing to Saratoga Springs.
& it was not as fun as I expected. D: as a matter of fact, it was really boring. I went on the jumphouse and that was it. nothing else seemed fun. ): some people brought their badminton rackets and played badminton. I thought about bringing mine too, but I didnt. I should've brought mine. then maybe I wouldnt have been so bored. I ate ice cream though, and that was yummy. C:
on the way there, I saw lots and lots of cute little houses and shops. C: but then later, we had to drive up a mountain and that got me a bit sick in the stomach. :O the road was very wind-y, indeed. I fell asleep on the bus on the way back to school.
today, my math teacher did something wonderful! she gave me an A- for this trimester's grade even though I think I was supposed to get a B+. C: thank you Mrs. Burket!

I am Sick
Today I didnt go to school because I got sick D: I slept most of yesterday and went to the doctor's this morning. the doctor said that I got the flu, but nothing major, thank goodness. C: he said that after a little rest, i'll be fine.
anhywhoo, yesterday I went to my friend Connie's eighth grade graduation. (not the same Connie from my previous post). I was glad that I could go! too bad she won't be going to the same high school as me. D:
