Thoughts and such

I've been thinking about the earthquake and tsunami that Japan has had. I know it's really sad to talk about but I kinda felt like talking about it.

It's sad how many lives were lost and are still missing. Entire towns reduced to planks of wood and rubble. Many people traumatized by almost losing their lives. And the nuclear plant explosion which could take a nasty toll on the environment. It's even worse than what they had in World War II. I had no idea a situation could be scarier than World War II but apparently an earthquake and a tsunami proved it. Everyone across the world is trying hard to help Japan through this. I even hear of the possibility of going into a second Great Depression cause Japan pretty much provides most technology we have in our homes like cell phones and laptops. Hopefully that doesn't happen and the world goes back to normal in a span of a couple months.

I saw a post on Facebook the other day where apparently people think Japan deserves that disaster because of what they did to us at Pearl Harbor. Once again Americans you have proved yourself ignorant. We had that coming to us in the first place. Yes we stopped giving them oil to prevent them from going power crazy and spreading out to China but hey, no country is perfect. Even America has its own flaws. We have had some presidents in the past who made stupid choices for our country. Point is, Japan never deserved an earthquake and tsunami.

The president of the anime club, Nora, was thinking about doing some fundraising to help Japan. Nothing big. Just donating some money. However, the ASB office plans to make bracelets for that and like four other clubs had the same idea. Thing is, Japan kinda needs that money now before the stock market crashes. So that means we don't have time to make bracelets. Nora said she would talk to them but she says they don't really pay attention to others. Hope they actually listen what others have to say.

My normal life has been going same old same old. Still trying to adjust to stupid daylight savings time. And P.E has been a pain cause we're doing like fitness exams or whatever they're called. I had to do the curl up routine twice cause I could barely get myself off the ground. Felt like my neck was gonna snap in half. I'm honestly not the strongest person in the world and I can't do a push-up to save my life. That's why I'm taking Beginning Dance next year. Still bummed that I can't take Advanced Art and my mom feels the same. No worries. Will still be able to take it junior year.

Oh, and we had people called the WASC (or is it WASK? I dunno. I think I'm close.) come to our school. They come every six years to make sure that we're learning what we're supposed to be learning and that we'll be able to go to college. Everybody was having panic attacks and trying to behave "normally". How about this? Why don't you stop being lazy and enforce rules? That way we won't have to worry about students not being able to go to college. It really bugs me that no one enforces the rules and/or no one pays attention to them.

Long time no blog lol

Kay so it's been a week since I've blogged. Not like anything uber interesting is happening in my life anyway. Just another normal school week like any other. Well of course there was the earthquake AND a tsunami in Japan in which I plan to do a separate blog post about.

I have a foreign exchange friend from Japan and her family's fine cause they live inland and on the opposite side of the country. It's really sad with what they show on CNN. It's worse than what happened to them in WWII. Had no clue an earthquake and tsunami would cause more damage than two bombs dropped on their cities. Talk about scary. Well, I'll talk about that more in a separate blog post.

As for my normal life it's just same old same old. Writing, reading, school work, the usual.... And there's the bad guy on the first Hellboy movie throwing up a demon octopus... Yep that's it.

This week during school we have some people coming to the high school to see if we're a good school. The whole paying attention and knowing what we're learning thing. Piece of cake... Unlike others who think it's rocket science to behave and not act like they're ADHD for an hour.

XOXO,

Breakfast for Dinner, Sushi and Apple Pie

We had a breakfast for dinner party on Friday. About twenty or twenty-one people came. Including a dog and an unborn baby finishing the first-trimester. It was all good breakfast food: bacon, fruit, biscuits and gravy, the works. We also got out the cards and played a game of spoons. And as usual, there was blood. Most violent card game in existence. And we still have the marks on our table to prove it.

Saturday was a festival in Japan Town in San Jose. Spent some time with Jamie and Akane. Saw and got pictures of some cosplayers and some girls wearing lolita outfits. That was a fun time for me. We got a whole bunch of sushi and some dango for lunch. Rest of the day was spent watching the fifth season of Dexter.

As for today..not much. My mom made the best apple pie in existence which is great with vanilla ice cream. Marina's friends coming over and we're watching the Colts against the Jaguars...SAINTS ARE CHEATERS! Hahahaha..Just thought I'd throw that out there cause it's sadly true.

XOXO,
