>< Sharlin pushed me down the stairs!  It hurts!!

       ----- And then one of friends, Meara, gave us a b-day present.  She could only give it to us on Friday so that was why it was late.  It's this cute little keychain of a ...creature?  Bath sponge and body wash. (cherry).  Sharlin got the same thing but everything of hers were blue. x]

     [][][] Oh yeah, forgot to tell you, I finally got my braces off!!  My teeth feels weird.  But then 2 weeks later, I nede to wear retainers!  =0

     ()()() I didn't go to dancing on Friday because I had to study.

::Saturday::

             ~~~ As everyone may know, it was the high school entrance exam.  There were so many people.  I saw Diana, Jane, Lila, Benita, Debbie, Tina, Angela , Anthony, Allen, Analiese, Kevin Ngo, and David. I sat across from Sharlin.  It was kind of annoying because Sharlin kept flinging her pencil and moving the table that I can't concentrate at all.  I think I did bad on the exam.  I didn't quite finish math and reading.  I just randomly fill in circles.  I am so scared!!

       ++ TFC then.  We didn't miss piano, but I missed choir because I can't sing.  Theory separated into 2 classes.  I like our new theory teacher.

*** Then we went to Lila's house.  The usual people were there.  We were working on the [12 Days of Christmas] decorations but we kept getting distracted by the music.  And then Lila put on the [10 Brothers] theme song!!!  And then we kind of started watching it and Sharlin kept skipping the chapters around.  And then we watched the end.  And I was crying like crazy again and I was shaking.  My tears got on the paper.  Even Lila said she saw me crying.  We didn't do much on the project though.

       Diana, remember the milk thingy?  That was nasty.  LoL.

::Sunday::

      ^^^ My dad took off to California today for a meeting.  He is going to be gone for the whole week.  Safe trip and have fun, dad. :]

::Monday::

     -- Drowsy

::Tuesday::

>> I am totally fuming!  The voting for the Organ Donation poster was ridiculous!  And our class is ridiculous!!

           ++ Sally, Lila, and Diana went to Lila's house first while we dance.  Then we arrived around 5 p.m. at her door.

::Wednesday::

      << I am so mad again!!

(( This time, Lila and us went to Diana's house.  Lila and Sharlin started on the genre wheel, the Cellphone!!

::Thursday::

             [[ Ms. Wong made us do the posters for Christmas.  We had to do 7.  I was so tired.

    {{ Lila, Diana, and Sally came to our house this time.  We looked at our birthday pictures.  Then we started on the posters and finished till 5 p.m.  And then we did our Stack the Deck essays and S.O.S. and some people did Young Author and book reports.  Diana left first at around 7 p.m. and then Lila left next at around 8-9-ish.  Lila's dad ditched her!  And Sally left last at 9:20 p.m. and my dad had to drive her.  We had to work on our Yoshi genre wheel.  I ate dinner at 8-something and like stuffed the food down my throat so fast, I have chest pain.  I then did my Young Author, which took me a long time till 12:00 p.m.  I then studied vocab and slept at 1 p.m.  So sleepy!!

::Friday::

       // Went to the auditorium in the morning to practice singing with the other kids.  I can't sing at all.  My voice was cracking and I can barely talk.  I have a cold, sore throat, and I kept coughing.

           Lila: You sound like a dead person.

\\ During patrol, I was frantically studying vocab.  I ended up with a 99% and got hot chocolate!  Actually, cold chocolate.

           || Computer Lab -- made Christmas wish list.  [[ Greedy me, and Generous me ]]

   ;; Ms. Brasher went to a workshop and Ms. Moy was the sub.  She didn't know what to give us to do so we had to start on the next chapter.

        '' And then at science, Mrs. Sepulveda was the sub. for Ms. Swenson.  We took a quiz and then we went to watch our class play volleyball!  It was so exciting!  I was screaming even though I couldn't scream.  The other class was screaming and swearing.  So annoying!  They were really rude and mean.  They said something like: Allison can't play.  And I heard that the class wants to lose on purpose?

"" LoL.  Mandarin was funny.  We were watching this Cantonese tape and Mr. Sun didn't understand it.  I think it is from Jade TV.

      xx -- Sharlin scratched my hand!  Now it's red and there's a red line going through my hand!

It's November 27 and guess what's so special about it?  It's someone's birthday!  It's...

                                    MINE!  + SHARLIN's

-- That's right!  LoL.  We are 14 now and we are old!

    ++ So we got a new desk for the computer and half of our room changed.  It was really cool.  Then we helped build the new vacuum [not for us].

xx I woke up pretty early because I was so excited.

sharlin:  i drew the cake design!!!  :D  my first design published on a cake!  its s0o awesome!  diana has the pic.  :]

^^ We didn't get to the cake part yet but I'll tell you.  It's the Kogepan and Melon bun. :]

      **Anyways, we got 4 cards and a Chinese letter from our aunt.  The cards are beautiful!

~~ Diana and Sally came first, then Lila.

    >>> We watched [Chicken Little] and we ate and ate and ate until we have big bellies!

<<< We dressed up!

:::: Then cake!  My Kogepan died! :[  Go to Diana's Xanga for the picture of the cake. -> [click]  No one wants to eat it.

         -- I have to clean up everything!  Sharlin wouldn't help me!!  I had to serve ice cream to everyone then wash all the dishes and then clean up the wrapping papers from the presents and fold most of the clothes after she try them on. >[  Thank you to the ones who helped me.

         Then Lila left at 4:30 p.m.  So early!!

Then da been low.

         Then Melee!

   ((( And other people started leaving.

      (( Lila and Diana over! ))  [We didn't have dancing since it's Thanksgiving week.]  (( We worked all day on homework.  And then they have to dress up as princesses so I joined them.  We are going to go this crazy on Sunday too! ))

::Wednesday::

  {{{{ We helped Ms. Wong carry things back and forth for the teachers' breakfast.  And then Lila came to our Patrol spot and studied vocab with us! :]

[[(({{ Out of uniform for Walk-a-thon!

         '''''' Oh my gosh!  Ms. Wong didn't take out the stress marks!  I was so nervous because I didn't study them! :[

        ** We sort of partied.  I ate pie, drank Pepsi, ate Oreos, and drank hot chocolate.  It's so yummy!!  I helped serve apple pies. :]

~~ I might be able to leave my science table...

           :. So much homework! .:

        xx -- Oh yeah, at Bowl, I joined the 7th graders.  [ thumbs up ]  I flunked.  LoL.  And I didn't eat any of their food since I didn't pay.  I am a good girl like Tommy said.  But I only took one chip after school.  Hee hee.  It's hard to resist!

::Thursday::

                !! Happy Thanksgiving !!

   oo -- Went to Jone's house to feast.  I did my homework, practiced piano, read, draw, and eat.  Somehow, after eating turkey, I was very drowsy. =T  There was turkey, of course, spagetti and sauce, green beans, chicken, rice, pumpkin soup, and cranberry sauce and gravy.  The adults had red wine.  What a feast!  But I didn't eat much.  Later, we ate the birthday cake.  Their son, Frank, has his birthday in November too so we celebrated together.  There were 3 candles on the chocolate cake.  It was delicious!

::Friday::

        <> I woke up at like 4-something and heard my dad go out the door.  Very suspicious...LoL.

--------------- It's winter cleaning!  I dislike cleaning my room. :[

++++++++++++++++ It's snowing!  So cold yet beautiful!

    >>>> Old Country Buffet

                Sharlin: Foods are meant to be abused.

::Wednesday::

     >HALF DAY<

1. Went to Lila's house to pick her up.

2. Went to Diana's house to pick her and our box up.

    -- Wind was blowing so hard!  It crashed our hard work!  4 people had to carry it because it was so big.  And then, we can barely fit it in our van.  LoL.  Then, we borrowed Mr. Gomaz's hot glue gun and we never returned it back to him.  It was ruined and Lila and Sally killed Conan's pen.  It melted.  Sorry.  Anyways, we must win!

3. Ms. Wong told me and Anna to go to her car to get something.  I had to carry 2 big water jugs and 1 gatorade jug!  They were so heavy and cold!  I was dying!!  I collapsed at the bottom of the stairs.  And then I got a cut on my finger and it was bleeding and now it turned into a bruise.  And I have 3 bandages on my hand right now.  I can barely even write!!  I can't bend my finger!  And I have this red spot on my leg that hurts a lot.  I also got a bruise on my other leg.

4. For the jars, Sharlin drew a Pooh bear and Tigger.

5. Then we went to Diana's house to study for the tests.  We read through the whole chapter for social studies and the whole story for reading, always having interruptions because the stereo was on and we all had to eat.  We kept singing to the music.  And then I finish a 109 pages book in one day!  Yay!

::Thursday::

1. We went to do the jars again.  I did Pooh!

2. Sharlin did Tigger.

(( SCIENCE FAIR ))

----- Congrats to everyone for winning science fair.  Remember, hugs and high fives for Diana!!  Oh yeah, I was sitting next to Sharlin again!!  My judges were ok.  I like Paul, but not this other lady.  She seems mean.

^^^^^Went to Diana's house with Lila.  We "partied".  Don't worry, Gary, we won't leave you out next time. :]  We had pop and fries.  My parents and Nicky went to Family Night and got ice cream back!!  And we left at 8:20 p.m.  I still feel bad.  Only some people know about this.  And we were watching [Love is Beautiful].

 ++ Sharlin was talking to Jason at night and once he popped up on the screen, I kept getting hurt!!  I killed my leg, elbow, and my eyes burned by staring at his screen.  My head hurts too.  He causes me bad luck!

** Sharlin just called me a loser!!!! >[

::Friday::

3 tests today!  Vocab, reading, and social studies.  So tired.  I slept at 1:00 a.m. to study!

        >>>>> Switched seats in science! And I don't really like any of my groups.  She switched me 3 times!  I wish I was in Sharlin's and Diana's table.

::::Eddie bought us cotton candy!  Yay!!!  His friends came and they were like: Giving cotton candies as flowers to girls?  We understand.  [wink wink]

Congrats to Benita for winning Patriot's Pen and congrats to Sharlin and Benita for winning the Family Art Contest.  Props for them!

//// Found a volleyball in the gym at Malcolm X College!  So we were playing with it.  It was so fun!!

::Saturday::

     ++ Went to Payton Open House.  I saw Kelly, Joe, Amy Li, Stephanie << Freshmen.  I also saw Christie << Camper.  And Anthony << Classmate.

= Then TFC.  So boring.  I found a $20 on a chair, but I am not greedy.  I think someone turned it in.

;;;; I finished watching [Ten Brothers]!  It was so sad at the end!  I was crying. :'[  My mom was too.  It's so touching!!  Lila, do you want to borrow it?
