Hot weather = A trip to the beach.

The beach is probably the best place to go on a sunny day.  You get to go out and enjoy the sun while being with friends because people do not usually go to the beach by themselves.  It is a really relaxing place to be because you can sit there on the hot sand staring out into the ocean.  You can listen to the waves, watch the waves, take a walk along the ocean and let the waves hit you, walk on the hot dry sad, or just sit there and stare out into the ocean. I'm pretty sure I am not the only one trying to see whether or not I can see what is on the other side of the ocean.  I personally love going to the beach because it is the time where I can think.  It is a place where I feel like nothing else really matters and that soothes me.  I love knowing I can be there, enjoying the sun, and getting a lot of thinking done in the less stressful way you can think of.  I hope summer will be hot so I can go to the beach a lot more and maybe even get a tan.

A Night of Disappointment

First off, let me just come out and say it. PROM SUCKED. Now for the reasons why it sucked. I showed up expecting to see a big ballroom because I heard that is what the Regency Center is known for, but what I saw was a mediocre sized ballroom with not much decoration. I walked in and the music was already playing, but not a lot of people were dancing. The first thing I did when I got there was take pictures, but there was a long wait so I grabbed a drink. The drink fountain and the snacks were alright, nothing really that special. It was fun going around seeing everybody all dressed up and taking pictures, but when I wanted to dance, I realized how horrible the music selection was. The DJ played a lot of oldies, and I do mean a lot. He also played a lot of Latin music, not that I do not like it or anything, but he played so many in a row that it got boring. I was literally standing there on the dance floor waiting for him to play some up-to-date hip hop, rap or R&B music, but that did not happen. He probably only played 5 up-to-date songs and those were played in the beginning when everybody was still taking pictures. I did not really get to dance and I was pretty disappointed in that which pretty much killed my night. So those are the reasons why prom sucked for me.

How the weather can bring my family together.

The weather this weekend was great. It was really sunny out all day long, and warm throughout the night. I love it when it is hot out because it makes me want to be active and go out to have fun. Although at some points of the day the heat was unbearable, I still enjoyed it. I think warm evenings are the best part of nice days because it gives me an excuse to be out when the sun is starting to set. It is really relaxing to sit outside on a warm night, feeling the light breeze with my family. It gives us an excuse to be together and bond while catching up with what has been happening in our individual lives. Family bonding is probably one of the things I look forward to the most because it does not happen very often. But when it does happen, it does not stop for a while. We can go on and on forever talking about absolutely nothing and I love that. I hope my summer nights will be just as great as my weekend was.

Prom Dress Shopping

It is that time of the year where all the girls shop til they drop. Everybody is going everywhere to find the perfect dress for the biggest dance of their high school life. Sadly to say, I am one of those girls who are having dress issues. I literally went everywhere, I tried on every dress that looked decent, but still I didn't find a dress I really love and within my price range. I went to Stonestown, Serramonte, Tanforan, Westfields, Jessica McClintock Outlet and Great Mall in Milpitas. The dresses that I really want are too expensive for me. I guess that is what happens when you try to get a good looking cheap dress that you like, you can't. I don't know where else to go to for a dress but I will have to keep looking. After I find a dress that I really love, I will stay away from the malls for a while. I am someone who loves shopping, but after going every single day makes it less appealing to me. Hopefully I can find a dress soon so it will be one less thing I have to worry about.

A Trip to the Apple Store

I've been hearing a lot of talk about the new iPod Shuffle recently, so I decided to check it out for myself. I walked into the store and picked up the Shuffle. I looked at the headphones and saw the controls on it. There were only three buttons, 2 volume control buttons and a center button. The center button controls everything, play/pause and the voice control. But when I tried to play a song, I realized that it was out of battery. I wanted to see for myself how the voice that tells you the song title works, too bad I didn't have the chance. So instead of leaving in disappointment, I decided to check out the iTouch. An iTouch is like an iPhone minus the phone. I always thought the iTouch was a pointless invention because it doesn't compare to an iPhone. But after actually looking at it and playing with it, I realized that an iTouch is not that bad and it is a better version of an iPod. With an iTouch, you can download games and keep yourself entertained while listening to music. You can also connect to Wi-Fi and surf the web if you like. I guess there are the goods and the bads of the iTouch. The biggest attraction of the iTouch is probably the applications and the bad thing about it is you cannot call anybody with it.

Softball season

This year is pretty difficult to deal with because a lot of personal issues. And dealing with rookies, is kinda hard but pretty fun once it comes down to it. Their personalities are a lot mroe refreshing because they bring a little goof to the practices. Its funny but sometimes its difficult because theyre not serious when it comes down to it or when it comes to the practices before a game. but then again its not always a bad thing to losen up before a game because sometimes thats all people need. I love sports and I dont think think this little set back can make me stop because this is something that is really fun to deal with.

School = STRESS

Trying to balance 3 honors classes and an extra class that I needa make up for college credits. It seems almost impossible to feel like I know every subject. Sometimes I dont understand how school works. Its as if every teacher feels taht we should ace every one of their subjects while trying to have a life. I understand that you need to time manage and priorotize but its not that easy. Especially playing sports all year round and then having a full schedule with 3 honor classes, difficult teachers, and a 3rd year in a language when it feels like we have to start all over again. I dont feel as if Im learning much of anything mainly because Im so behind in school. Its just so stressful.
