The day started out nicely when I found out that I could get out of bed with my eyes open. Meeting at the pole to pray was a nice start of the school day. Orchestra came, and Mr. Isadore decided that he wanted us to listen to a some music by some fifty four year old guy named John Adams. He said he wanted us to be quiet and was serious about it because if we talked, it would ruin the mood. So we sat and were quiet. The music's purpose was for the September 11 incident's one year anniversary. It started with a tape recorded voice of a boy saying "missing" over and over and over again- with some scary background music. Then some names which I'm guessing were some of the ones that died. Then some more sad music with voices saying "I want to dig my father out. I know just where he is" and "I see water and buildings". After the music was done, we were told that the quotes in the music were really said by some people that were there. First period ended with no happy faces. Second period came and Mrs.Mcmahon said that we were going to watch a video clip she put together about Sunday's tsunami. After seeing dead bodies, people crying and drowning, second period ended with no happy faces. Then chinese period comes about and Mrs. Ting says that out class has to make a skit for "china night". She decided for us that we were going to base it on our everyday class. It was settled. Wayne Lin was volunteered to act as Mrs.Ting. The school day ended with a game of bingo in science class. You'd think bingo would be a happy game if old folks play it, but quite the opposite. I was one step away SEVERAL TIMES from winning bingo. It gets depressing after a while and you lose all hope of winning. I was beginning to think she was doing this on purpose- looking at our cards and seeing which ones that were left and PURPOSELY not call them...

THere's been a lot of junk homework this week, and suddenly, Mrs. Griggs decides to suprise attack us with a bunch of homework assignments.

So, i cleaned everything up... and played piano ( HA! only CHOICE SONGS!!) and then we went out for lunch...

I was in the kitchen, my mother washing dishes, and my father emailing a very important person on his laptop. I was sitting, on the chair, drinking orange juice. A very nice, family atmostphere settled in, and we all enjoyed the peace and quiet. Drinking my sweet orange juice, I allowed my eyes to roam about until something sleek and black caught my eye. Catching the movement, I immediately glance down onto the floor to see what it was. Appalled to see it moving, I came upon the realization that this black object was indeed alive, and a scream escaped from within me. It was actually quite funny to see my mother wince horribly at my high pitch and my father suddenly jerk up from his intense email. Both swerved their heads toward me with priceless faces each wondering what the the scream was all about. With a shaking hand, I pointed at the 2 cm. bug (which is actually a lot bigger than most bugs you see nowadays). I saw their faces change from concern to disinterest in less than half a s...

My family and I went out for dinner, except my sister of course who was out with some friends. My mother always did say that she treated the house like a hotel... all she would do is sleep there and eat there. ^_^ So we went out for a nice dinner. We ordered many delicious dishes which were all consumed in a couple of minutes. At the end of dinner I observed that my father's belly was a little larger than usual. Laughing, I whispered loudly to my mother,"Look! Daddy's pregnant!" My mother laughed and said,"Nine months." Turning to my father, I asked him,"Boy or girl?" "Both!" my mother piped in. "How can they be both?" I questioned. "They're twins Daphne..." She shook her head as if I was supposed to understand it. I laughed teasingly at my father and peeked a glance at him. His face was one of his funniest ones. It seemed like he didn't understand what was going on at first, but then as he slowly began to get ...
