Happy new year everyone!! 2013...wonder what it'll be like.
*Feel free to stop reading whenever u want, cuz this post is extra extra extraaa long*
I've started on this post like a week or so ago, just cuz every year, I do my timeline of events, and that takes a long time to go back and find out what i actually did. This post is actually really more of for me than for my readers. but yeahh.
This is how I'll remember what I did in my life; even all the little details. They make me smile or laugh and think back to the memories.
I'm typing up the first 4 paragraphs you see here, on December 31, 2012, at 4:41pm. The sky is a little bit light reddish, and light blue. The sun is setting for one last time...
It's 6:45pm and I'm starting to hear the first signs of fireworks ALREADY(:
2012 was fine. The one thing that left a strong impression on me in 2012 isn't the clothes I bought, the hot guys at school, nor the presents I got. I'm very thankful to have met a really good friend, we've become really close really quick. We're soo alike and I totally trust her on all my secrets.
Being friends with her is the highlight of my year 2012; Thank you L.Z for being there for me whenever I need someone to talk to.
I wanna give another thank you to M.L. Although we don't hang as much now, it still feels like we're really close..well @ least too me. I know I can trust you with anything, and I'm really glad we've been able to maintain this trust between us for so many years. <3
Lastly, thank you God, for helping me get through 2012. I don't even know if I believe in God, but I do believe everything happens for a reason, and maybe God is the reason behind all this. I really don't know.
Whatever it is, thank you for letting 2012 be a bearable year.
Personally, I also think I've matured a lot this year.
Especially the trip back to Taiwan in August. I use to be the smallest on my dad's side until my cousin gave birth to 2 kids; one female (1?)and one male(3 yrs old). 2 years ago, the male was born, and even when I went back to Taiwan I'm still spoiled, the center of attention, you name it. But not anymore. This time I went back, the female was born. And it's as if magically, in 2 years I've became a distant relative.
My older cousins, the ones around 20-30 years old use to fool around with me, tease me, but they've stopped. The family members that use to love putting food into my bowl every minute stopped. They treat me like an adult. And I'm just not use to that.
I'm not jealous of my baby cousins, because I love them very much too. The 3 year old plays with me and thinks of me as one of his centers of attention.
But idkk...something just isn't normal.
I also have another baby cousin (3 year old Taylor) from my mom's side.
I use to like hanging out with cousins from my dad's side better than the cousins on my mom's side. (though i love both sides very much). But this time, I loved hanging out with both sides equally the same., maybe even leaning towards mom's side... Maybe cuz my cousins from mom's side's age are closer to my age. And we can talk about boys, asian celebs, sing asian songs (they have this litttle KTV/ TV thing that has songs, and videos on it) on their cars everytime we rode in it.
I'm taking on more responsibility, and I'm no longer the little girl my relatives once loved to tease and mess around with. They treat me as if I'm an adult, and I have to face it maturely.
Okay, back to 2013. I just hope that all my loved ones and I will be safe, healthy, and happy. And I hope that God will be here to help me get through 2013 peacefully and healthily. Maybe with a little bit of luck, I might even win Mr. Saturn's heart(;

"Love-- comes in many different ways.
I always thought that to love you meant to protect you
and not let you get hurt. But the person that hurts you the
most [in the end] turned out to be me.
People say if you can't provide your loved one
with happiness, then you should let go. But if I could start over,
I will choose to keep you, to use my greatest effort to provide you with happiness."

Piano-DJY's eye is messed up due to wrestling. that poor guy. Indep. living- sub. Chinese- test was easy. did part of AL's hw for him since he didn't do it. the teacher asked me to stamp and this is what happened:
M:"ummm i'll come back to you." *stamps everyone in my row*
A:"hey just gimme a stamp please?"
M:*hesitates then stamp*
A:*secretly works on the hw and hiding it from teacher so she wouldn't see*
M*feelings guilty inside*
A*speaks in a quiet voice* you should do this for me since u write faster.
M: what?
A:nothingg (dont wanna be rude?idkk)
M*suddenly understands his previous sentence* u write too slow.
A: u wanna do it then?
M: starts doing work for him (less 3ish rows of the characters)
A:thank you sooooo much, thank you. i owe u.
M: big time.
and then it turns out the teacher didnt even collect the hw -.- but i feel kinda guilty for lying. urghhh.
PE-2 on 2 basketball. today i made an amazing discovery. i'm actually quite good at shooting the hoop from a certain distance. when we played 2 on 2, my partner and i had awesome teamwork, and whenever she passes to me to shoot, i'd shoot it in. often (like 5 times) within the first try, and sometimes within the 4th try, before someone steals the ball. but, i was surprised by the number of balls i shot that made it in the hoop on just the first try. (: whenever S.S goes again us, shes like ohh no. and then when i get the ball, she says ohh she's gonna shoot it again, something along those lines.
Geometry- switched seats! Ms. W gave us a paper and asked who we wanted to sit next to and what table 2-3 days ago. and now i sit by close to the door (so i can run out the door for lunch) and with B.H, M.T. and L. something.... test was fricking hard though. i worked right to the bell. the first page, the CPCTC part was sooo hard, there's 2 proofs, and thats it. and i seriously thought i was gonna get a 2, but i came back, checked my grades, and i got a 3.5. shocked :O
English-nothin much really. just did research the whole period
Biology- nothin much either.
after school-walking towards the main stairs and then sees A.D in the hallway. goes over to her and talks to her. leaving, and i almost bump into Steven F. then looks a little to the left and see Mr. Saturn. totally a surprise. not prepared. unexpected. he had a little smile on and then we did our usual thing. thats twice in one day.
Piano-nothin much Chinese-pretty boring. AL fell asleep in class today and was snoring. i tried to wake him up but he only opened his eyes and looked at me then went back to sleep. later:
me:"dude u were snoring."
him:when i snore that means im really tired. why didnt you wake me up?"
me:"i did. u wouldnt wake up."
later...towards end of class
him:i bet i eat more than u do
me: u havent seen me eat, i eat soo much
him: i bet i eat twice as you do.
me:noo--
him:yeahh, cuz i exercise more than you do, and im a guy
me:truee...but ur so skinny.
Geometry- test was okay, there were some hard questions. Lunch- omg so mr. hat sat at the table in front of us (from where i sit), and i had like a perfect view of him. later he switched sides at his table, so that his back was towards me. then he friend had a kadama, and he wanted to play with it. so he shifted his body so that he's sideways, and his face is towards me but his body was still kinda sitting forward. so he must've caught me looking at him (butt i made it sooo unobvious), and after that, everytime he succeeded in the kadama, he'd look up and look at me. and if he failed, he'd do it until he succeed again, then look up and take another quick glance. this happened like 2 more times before I told M.T. and B.H. what was happening, and then witnessed the same thing, then we just all broke out in laughter xD HAHAH, caught u looking at me Mr. Hat.
Biology- boringg.
after school-mr. hat took of his jacket/sweatshirt whatever, and had a gray tanktop underneath. there's some muscles on his arms(:
then L.K and I went to library cuz i had to print stuff off. Mr. Saturn walks in, and i pretended to focus on my work cuz we already did our usual thing earlier in the day, and if i did it again again....idkk. dont wanna make it too obvious.
laterr, Mr. Hat walks in. and there's 3 empty seats next to LK (i sat on the edge), and mr. hat just HAD to pick the seat next to LK. out of all the seats -.- but we made eye contact again, pretty sure he recognized me from lunch. and then me and LK kept laughing about other stuff like Winnie the Pooh (inside joke), and he looked at us liek wt the heck.... embarrassing....
and then two girls came in and joined him AIIYAHH.
aiight, gotta go study for Chinese and Geometry (mostly geo.) test for 2morrow.
Piano-nothing much, DJY surprised me when this convo took place:
him:"hey are you_ _-_ _ _ _'s sister?"
me:"yeah."
him:"yess! im so smart"
me:*sits there in shock*
Indep living-dating do's and dont's was hilarious today. we were divided into groups based on grades(freshman, sopho.,junior,senior). the freshman had about 10 people and
O.R. kept saying "ohh miranda's got this dating thing, she has a lotta experience."
the teacher then calls on each grade to share and O.R. was like "MIRANDA! she's got this."
teacher:"ohh look what happened! i put you guys together for 20 min. and you guys are already trying to hook up."
me:*thinking WATTT...*
O.R: "well, miranda's got this DOWNNNN." soo funny.
Chinese- nothin much today really. A.L. looked at my neon pink Converse and went "did you get new shoes on black friday?"
me:"no--"
A.L"ohh yeahh, of course, cuz they're like one day old so they're not new anymore. sorry."
Me: *laughs and smiles* hahah, nooo, i got them during the summer."
AL"how could u keep them so cleann and new."
later....
me:"hey, did you check ur snapchatt?"
AL"yeahh, i saw it" *reaches for his phone in his pocket but stops and pulls his hand back outta his pocket* wait, who was that girl with you?"
me:"Maria_ _e"
AL:"ohh right. why was she at your house?"
me:"no, i was at her house....for thanksgiving."
AL:"ohh you guys are family friends?"
me:"yeahh"
AL:"why were you on your brother's phone?"
me:"uhhh cuz i was.."
PE-bowling. test on wed :( M.L's story was interesting(;
Geometry- test on thu/fri. asldjflsdjflkd
Lunch-supped the usual guy. Mr. Awkward got a haircut. he looks hotter now. and his outfit today and his haircut made him look SUPERRRRR canto. love canto style(: he looks just like Auston Lam(HK celeb), i swear.
English-not much really
Bio-aiiyahh my table partner...good? ehhh. bad? ehhhh...
ohh did you notice that i changed this blog up a bit?
Winter banner (replacing Halloween) features Jason Chan, Linda Chung, and Him Law. took me more than a hour to find good pics and to edit their face and then putting it all together with winter features. i think this is the best banner i've created so far(: proud of myself
the snow falling thing is back! since we are entering now. now, not only is there just plain snow (white dots falling), there's also snowflakes falling. hope they won't be too distractful while you read.
on the left hand bar, for overview, pic. of Linda Chung is changed to JJ Lin. for chatbox, pic of kevin cheng is changed to Han Geng and Nicholas Tse.
on the about page, pic of Raymond Lam is changed to Ella Koon and Jason Chan.
on the drama challenge page, pic. of Jay Chou is changed to Kevin Cheng.
on the credits page, pic. of JJ Lin is changed to Linda Chung.
so...kinda taking a break from Raymond Lam and trying to bring in some new faces.
These new pics now reflect the season we're in. like the whole left bar, there's celebs in the snow. in about page, Ella and Jason are in warmmm clothing and fuzzy socks, for the cold comiing. Drama challenge page, Kevin Cheng is....in my opinion acting like santa clause and lying on a pile of cotton which is kinda like snow, so it fits the wintery theme. on credits page, Linda is in a warm, cute sweater.
Took me quite a long time to create banner, find pics of celebs that relate to the winter, and then putting everything up there. sooo better appreciate it. :D
Piano-playing test. the classical music made all of us sleepy. mr plaid put his head on the desk and closed his eyes. he snored once, then woke up quickly(: oemgee, this guy that sits on the other diagonal of me, he is soo funny and adorable, like class clown adorb. he was messing with the features of the keyboard piano, and it was just really funny, so funny that it made Mr. Plaid smile/chuckle. and trust me, mr. plaid is usually bored to death in piano.
Chinese-nothin much really. my partner, AL got so hungry his stomach was growling and i could hear it hehe xD and i told him that, of course. and he said he was trying. umm ohhh Mr. Buff smells like Hollister.
Geometry-math concepts that i get. YES.
Biology- Mrs. B is my fav. teacher right now. nicer than all my other 6 teachers. shes just so chill, gives candies even tho halloween was yesterday (didnt have her yesterday cuz of block day) and listened and watched Thriller's MV for the last 6 min. of class.
before i start anything, i just wanted to throw one thing out there. this is my 99th blogpost! i found that kinda interesting, ok let's begin the reflection...
"Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me
i dont no if i can make it through the blog post without crying. im tored up inside.
ok so this is what happened 2day, on the last day of school.
went to first period, attendance and stuff. walked down to gym. sat down. watched ppl perform, 8th graders go through the tunnel of tears ( all teachers and staffs(?) stand in 2 lines forming a space in the middle. 8th graders walk thru, shaking hands w/ teachers or hugging) then 6th and 7th graders went out. i walked around hugging ppl, saying byes and crying. got pushed around. missed the bus. had 2 walk 2 factoria w/ a couple friends. after factoria sophie went home w/ me. the end.
when i was hugging ppl and all that, i just couldn't help but cry. it was soo sad. 2 no that i wont see them for another like 2 years. and 2 no that i wont see some of my friends for 3 months. its 2 long of a time. every year students cry. and this year's 7th and 8th graders were no exception. corrina was trying 2 push me into JC. she was successful once. i landed like sideways onto his body. and then i walked away quickly. awkward. if i really did hug him tho, i would just cry. i would cry so hard i wouldn't be able to stop until after 10 min. sophie also almost got AL 2 hug me. he seemed fine w/ that. willingly in fact. but i didnt really wanna hug him. he'll think i like him. and if i hug him, i'll tear up again. i swear.
my friend CT was crying pretty badly 2. and it was actually her that made me cry. just seeing her cry like that--dang man! i wanna cry again...
later i was standing w/ SN and another friend waiting for CL w/ my eyes red and wet and i heard my math teacher (mrs. Johnson) call out 2 me. she said bye miranda. and im like bye. and then shes like no more tears! but that just made me turn away and cry more. i was gonna miss her. a lot. she doesnt teach 8th grade math. she was a great math teacher.
later when i was walking down 2 factoria w/ my friends we saw my old besties BW, MW. SN hugged them and when they passed us, they waved at me. i waved back. they also had tears in their eyes. just b4 MW walked away i said "can i have a hug?" and then we hugged. more tears came into my eyes. and then i hugged BW. i miss them. soo much. and 2day we just all let it go. idk if we're friends again but i do no that we took a break from our fight.
@ factoria, we saw them again. we hugged again. and i was so close 2 tears again. MW said that she missed me and i said i missed her too. BW said sorry and i said no, im sorry. and then we went our separate ways. im gonna miss them a lot over the summer. when i see them on fb, i'll talk 2 them. and maybe things will be okay again? i mean those 2 hugging moments seem pretty real 2 me.
one of the ppl i will miss the most is JC. I dont know how he felt 2day. did he feel sad to leave his 7th grade hommies? did he feel happy 2 get out of tyee? did he feel happy that he doesnt have 2 see me anymore? sigh. he made my 7th grade year unforgettable. 7th grade will probably be one of the most dramatic ones for me.
another person i will miss a lot if UT. i was hoping he would at least come on the last day of school. but he didn't. how can he miss school on the last 2 days of 8th grade graduation?!? hes such a bad boy, but he'll always be in my heart. and maybe i'll see him in 2 years? if he doesnt miss 2 much school...
what else should i talk about..?
oh ya, next year, when i graduate, i wonder what will happen? will i cry? i bet i will, and i bet i'll cry even harder than this year. i dont even want to think about the tunnel of tears. it's so sad. i dont think i'll be able to face all my teachers i had throughout middle school. Sure, every teacher was once mean, but they were also nice. sigh. why am i even thinking about this? there's still one more year.
Well i guess i'll wrap up my long reflection here. Have a nice summer everyone!! 8th graders-i'll miss you guys so much! even if u guys dont no me, it just feels like we're all a big family~ Good luck as a freshman in high school!! :)
"As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever"
Friday- nothin much. typical school day. AL has a cast on his leg. he pulled something. sux for him. :(
Sat.- lion dance.i TOTALLY failed the walking part =.= but nobody will notice that cuz nobody actually focus on the music, everybody has their attention on the lion. We each got $1 but later as a class we bought a flower through the school auction for our teacher.
Sunday (today)- literally did nothing. Getting +$25 today, depending on my luck. watched some drama, cleaned the living room. Avearage day.
[i miss ur tan skin, ur sweet smile, so good to me, so rite...]
"Hello, Hello, it's me Picasso, I will paint my words of love
With your name on every wall
When you leave my colors fade to gray
Whoa I whoa I aaa, Whoa I whoa I whoa I aaa
Every word of love I used to say, Now I paint it everyday
When you leave my colors fade to gray
Hey, little lover stay, Or all my colors fade away
Every word of love I used to say, Now I paint it every day
I sold my strings, my songs, and dreams
And I bought some paints to match the colors of my love
Hello, Hello, it's me again, Picasso
I will spray my words of my love
With your name on every wall"
Today acutually wasnt that bad.

Art- almost typed media tech. *sigh* wen i got into class KN was immideatly like "zai jian!" to me again! LOL, hes pretty funny...i guess. and then later on we were making a collage and almost all the boys (including him) were cutting out girls in bikinis and me and RN were just sitting there laughing. and KN was like "stop laughing" which made me and RN laugh even more. I gotta say, i think KN made my day 2day ;D
On tuesday(or monday) , mrs.scheck's 5th period LA has 2nd lunch which means CL and AL will both be on 2nd lunch that day. yay!! :)
When's its ur birthday u dont feel lk it, u no. im 13 now but i dont feel like 13. 13 is just a number showing how many years u have been on earth.

but thats ok, cuz AL made my day! after 6th period 2day i was at my locker gettting my stuff and AL saw the decorations on my locker and hes lk its ur birthday M--a--a? me: "ya" him: "happy birthday" :))) then me and RN walked 2 media tech laughing. hes so sweet ;]
after i got home, at around 3:30 he posted on my wall: "Happy birthday!!!" yup, thats right WITH THREE EXCLAMATION POINTS!" i felt happy!
