Thanksgiving Weekend!

The 4 day weekend was awesome! ^_^ best time ever. haha

So, the day before Thanksgiving was an awesome Turkey Run, starting line at the school, running all around the villages around the school, coming back to the gym. Then after all that, ZUMBA! I didn't do it of course because.... well.. hell no, man! After that, the classes played games, competed against each other. Games were fun, one of them was weaving a Samoan basket out of coconut leaves. 4 guys from each class weaved a basket. The Sophomore dude finished first, the judge tested it out, it was okay, and all of a sudden the Juniors take the win and we're like, "What the hell man?!?!" Eh.. whatever. haha

Then Thanksgiving came.... we had no turkey.. so we ate chicken with stuffing. Hey, it's the same thing.. isn't it? Yes, it is. Okay!

The next day, Friday, was awesome! L.D.S. 5-Stake Roadshow took place at the Tafuna Stadium, where we all performed and entertained the guests and high leaders of the church. There were so many people! I have pictures.. but I can't find 'em.. oh well... next time, yeah? haha

Then SATURDAY! My ward went to Utulei Beach to celebrate a belated Thanksgiving and a successful Roadshow. So, transportation was a big problem. A bus was supposed to be there, but then the Bishop and leaders took us there in the back of their trucks. I sat in the back of the Bishop's truck, along with other girls, I had on an awesome outfit.. BUT THEN IT RAINED! I GOT ALL WET! SO DID NOT NEED THE RAIN! -_- So yeah, got wet on our way to the beach. But hey, we still had an awesome time at the beach, didn't even care about the rain.

Covering one of the girls in sand.

This dude ruined the picture. 

Angry face! 

Covering another girl. lol CHINESE!! 

The little kids in the ocean. *sighs so cute! 

Just being a girly girl for once. -_- sure..... 

Me with my awesome church buddy Jackie. ^_^ 

Covering... another girl. lol

This dude can't build a decent sand castle, so I stepped on it. :)
We took a picture together! He loves the camera. 

 Well, an awesome day went well. Then on Sunday, church of course. It was cool. lol. The weekend was awesome, and I had homework I forgot to do. Not that I didn't forget.. I just didn't wanna do it.. so I did it at school. Such a procrastinator.

Pep Rally ! War of the Classes !

The Pep Rally was awesome.. for some people. I just didn't wanna be a part of all that 'cause I know when our school has these activities, there are some who'll act like complete savages. Also, I don't have that much school spirit.. so yeah. We (the Sophomores) came in 2nd place, but we lost that position because the other Sophomores acted so immature and stupid, thus subtracting points. Each class had their own mascots (2 advisers to  represent the class). Don't have the picture of the Freshmen's mascots.

The Juniors (purple) and Freshmen (turquoise)

The Sophomores (orange) and Seniors (pink)

Mascot for the Sophomore Class
Mr. Vincent ! ^_^

Mascot for the Sophomore Class.
So sorry, don't know her name. lol

The Senior's Mascots.
Mr. Vinnie and Ms. Jayleen.

The Junior's Mascots.
Mrs. Harmon and Mr. Pefu

These gals *cough cough* performed at the Pep Rally. Forgot the name of their group,
but they were really entertaining.

 Well, I didn't take these pictures, I.. stole them. Pictures were taken by my English teacher, Mrs. Lisa. lol.

Now a Sophomore

Moving up to a new level is usually exciting, right ? Well, not really...

I still think of myself as a Freshman. I've had so much fun last year, I didn't want it to end. So many have left me. I miss them all, especially my brother who went off to Basics in Fort Benning, Georgia. :'(

So, I'm now a Sophomore... hurray ? -_- not really...
My schedule:
1st: World History
2nd: Samoan Language (NOOOOO ! *sighs I knew this day would come..)
3rd: Geometry
4th: English 126
5th: J.R.O.T.C. (ECHO AGAIN ! LOL)
6th: Life Science

Had a horrible first day of school ! My head was hurting so much. So, as usual, we do ice-breakers on the first day then you're done. Did it from 1-3 while having a huge headache.. damn, I just felt like dying. So, after introducing myself, I put my head down and closed my eyes until the end of class. On my way to 4th period, I felt faint, so I walked fast and when I got there, immediately put my head down, breathing fast. When everyone got in the room, the teacher first started it off with a lecture and while she was lecturing, I had my head down but was still listening to what she was saying. She called on me and asked what was wrong-
Me: My head hurts.
Teacher: Oh okay then, go to the office and tell your counselor your head hurts.
Me: Oh, that's okay, I'm fine.
Teacher: No go, you're sleeping in my class. I'm up here talking and you're sleeping, I find that really disrespectful.
Me: I just put my head down 'cause it was hurting.
Teacher: No, go to the office. Get out.

So.. I grabbed my stuff and got out. Damn ! Seriously ??? That was so embarrassing. I went to the office and told my counselor and she said for me to apologize to her tomorrow and wrote me a tardy slip for 5th period. WHAT THE HEYYY ?? APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT ?

At the end of the day, I went home, told my mom everything, she called the office, spoke to my counselor, words were exchanged, then my mom said for me to see my counselor before going to 4th period, then the counselor will go with me to my 4th and we'll talk together about this issue. -_- So, to make it short, we went to my 4th the next day, the teacher was in the middle of teaching the class, then she came outside, we talked, I didn't have to apologize, the counselor asked the teacher if she would let me back in, I got back in, and now we're awesome. Yups.. *sighs..

Okay.... what else.. oh yeah, MY INSTRUCTOR FOR JROTC IS A COMPLETE ASSHOLE. ^_^

May 14 (preparing for the SAT10)
In Algebra class, I was doing my work, and I saw my other friend just playing around. I told him to do his work, but he didn't want to. I told him, "You have to do your work. Wasn't it your dream to become and NBA star ?" Then I started to lie, "If you don't pass this class, you won't go on to sophomore year. I know you're failing your other classes because I got friends in each of your classes. They tell me everything about you. So, if you wanna be an NBA star, start getting your grades up in all your classes, alright ?!" So then the next day, he started doing his work. From that day on, he kept coming up to me and rubbing his scores in my face... even though I am higher than him.. -_- but ehh, let him enjoy his happiness. He's doing good in his classes now.

Did so much reviewing and work. It was tiring !

The SAT10 was hard ! I hated everything, and mostly math ! Ughh ! Wanna shoot down whoever said that math is fun. -_-

May 24.

So, I gave her the shirt and she loved it ! Her reaction... priceless ! Her eyes pooled up, but they didn't overflow.. unlike mine.. I'm such a baby. -_- She's awesome. I'm gonna miss her. :')

Finals are coming up.. and I have so much to study for ! Ughhh ! Study guides are HUGE. *sighs
Wish me luck on my finals.. gonna need it.. lots of it.

Speech Festival 2013

The Speech Festival was held at Tafuna High School. High schools all over the island came to participate along with two private ones- S.P.A. and Pacific Horizon. The group performances were done in the gym, and the individual categories were done in classrooms.

I was there as Home Base Monitor/Teacher Aid, along with my best friends. Some were like, "Man, that's awesome ! You're gonna have fun !". Well.. I didn't... It wasn't fun. As H.B.M., I didn't get to see the performances. We had to stay at our rooms while the contestants and teachers leave. *sighs. It was really boring..
It was quiet and clean when they left but, when they came back.. SO MUCH NOISE AND TRASH ! AND AS H.B.M., WE HAD TO CLEAN UP AFTER THEM... DAMMIT !

After cleaning up their mess, they went back again to see the last performances while we stayed behind. Well, I got so bored, I snatched away my friends' name tags, and started taking pictures of them. Since I took pictures of our name tags.. I can't hide my name anymore. I'm gonna change my name to my real name.

 Yup.. just plain BORED. 

It wasn't boring until the teacher finally said that we can come and find out who wins. And.. WE WON ! OH YEAH ! THE LIONS WON BABY ! LOL ! We won the 1st place overall competition ! That's awesome.. we started cheering in the gym, and the other schools' were yelling at us, "BOO !". Jealous much ?

Leone High School. Home of the Mighty Lions. 

"Unity is our strength". 

Guess I did have fun.... lol

Things That Seriously Piss Me Off....

Today is just... so.. *sighs*. I'm super pissed right now. I'm just gonna... let out my anger on here..

• Giving someone your stuff, then when you ask for it, they say that they gave it to someone else. 

Like.. what the heck ?!?! I gave it to you, and ONLY YOU. Gosh ! I gave my phone to a friend of mine so she can listen to my songs, then this other girl comes up to her and asks if she can see  the phone, AND SHE GIVES IT TO HER ! WHAT THE HELL MAN ?! So I got my phone back from  her, and I'm not trusting anyone with it anymore.. not even my best friends. Yeah.. that's right..

• When you're talking to your friend and someone random in the back of you tells you to shut it. 

Was I talking to you ?! I DON'T THINK SO ! I believe I was talking to the one next to me.. so shut it and mind your own damn business ! Ughhh ! My friend and I were talking to each other, and some ass tells us to shut up. The hell ?!?! I just wanna.... OOOHHH ! I WANNA RIP HER HEAD OFF !! UGHHHH ! 

• Racists... I hate... racists....

I am half Samoan, half American. I speak little Samoan and fluent English. Some ass passed by me in the hall and called me a "Palagi-doi", meaning "Dumb White". Some students ask me, "Where were you born?" and I tell them, "San Jose, California." and they'd be like, "No, stop lying, you're a full Samoan. Stop being a "palagi", you're not "palagi". I didn't want to waste my time explaining and telling them, "Shut up, you don't know sh**", so I just get up and leave. Eh, I don't care because they don't know, but this seriously gets on my nerves.... *sighs*

• When you get scolded for something you didn't do.

I'm not even gonna tell what happened... you can figure it out.. yeah. AISHHH !

• When someone asks for something from you and they just, throw it back at you.

Well, I was drawing in my notebook, and this girl wanted to see it, so I gave it to her. She looked at it, closed the notebook, and folded it into a telescope, and started smacking the girl in front of her with it ! I told her to give it back to me, and she throws it back at me ! WHAT THE FUCK ?!?! UGHHH ! MURDER ! POISON ! SET-UP ! STAB ! Ehhh...

There's more, but I'm good now. *sighs* It's good to let out your anger... yup. In a good way, like, by talking to someone or... blogging it out.. yeah. -__-

I don't do anything about it because I'm kind of like the humble type. I don't fight with my body, I fight with words. But, when I'm seriously pissed, then things get out of hand. When someone would be all up in my face, I would just tell them that I don't wanna fight, then I move along. If they grab something and throw it at me, then I'll grab their face and grind it into the ground. Ha, jokes. I'll just walk on... I don't care if they think that I'm a coward, or a chicken, it's just not worth my time........... 

Well, I'm thankful for the difficult people in my life. They have shown me exactly who I do not wanna be. :)

           

Spring Break

Well, spring break for me has been a pain in the ASS ! I can't go anywhere ! A friend of mine invited me over to her house and my parents said no, so I'm just here... at home... blogging... yeah.. We did go shopping and stuff.. but eh, I still wanna go hang out with her. My brother's having a blast though. He went camping with the rest of the young men (L.D.S) at Coconut Point (In Nu'uuli). There was a lagoon right next to where they camped, so they can just go swimming there.. MAN ! >.<

My brother trying to be cool.

His tent.

Other tents.

A fellow camper. I know this asshole..

Other fellow campers.

Troop 295 dismissed.

Troop 292 making fun of Troop 295. 

Another tent...

Campers going in the lagoon.

This guy's cool. He's awesome.. haha

Troops 292 and 295 going out.

This little a-hole here.. ehh lol

Bringing down the flags

The trouble-makers. -_-

Troop 292, Atten-tion ! 

Brother still in the position of attention...

HUDDLE, HUDDLE ! 

                                                  Yup, he definitely had a blast. You lucky !!

The spring break is almost over. Can't wait to finally go to school ! See my friends, see my guy, see my teachers. Yeahh right ! Ehh, joking, I love my teachers. Not sure about my P.E. teacher.. the guy is just plain creepy. *sighs* Weird, how I posted pics of my bro's spring break and not mine. No need for the pictures, I already told you what it's like. So yeah...
When we went to visit my brother, we were really happy to see him. My brother and I don't get along well,(we call each other names, tell each other to shut up, yeah) but when he left, I missed him so much. He's the loud one in the house, and when he left, it was so quiet. He was gone for 4 days and we missed him dearly. Just wait for him to leave for basic training. WE'RE GONNA CRY OUR EYES OUT FOR SURE ! But, until then, we're gonna spend as much time with him as possible. :)
