more homeeeeework?

wow, this is another week of dead posts. i did not ever remember to make a post yesterday and right now i am having a quick post just to have one in here to make sure people know i am not dead. i still have homework to do. so this is it for the post.

on a quick side note though... "every club i join.. dies!!"

anime club, literary club, gsa, a-team, and many more to come.

and i lied again.

last night i did intend to explain the majority of my trip.. but.. i was up pretty late last night. and really wanted to go to sleep afterward. tonight my post will also be very short. i apologize to anyone i was suppose to talk to today. but when i got home. i was totally knocked out. my body hurt from head to toe. and my throat did not let me swallow anything. and my head felt like someone's hand was phasing into it and shaking it around.

okay so i lied.

i did have internet while at the florida hotel for my "florida tsa 2008 state conference." but i was too busy enjoying it to blog. also as the days went by, they kinda got slurred together.. so i can not exactly piece them together like i want. but if i have to say anything. it would be that it was a hundred times over an experience that i can not describe with text. but.. it was WICKED AWESOME.

so first off i'll lay down a few facts.
i was in a room with anthony (screech), and frank.

we stayed at the flordia hotel which is connected to the florida mall. (creative names eh?)

i was a finalist and got a finalist pin for each event i entered in. tech bowl - flight endurance - system control tech - manufacturing prototype.

my voice is wicked scratchy because of all the yelling for treasure coasts winning students at the award ceremony.

andd!

kim is our tsa president, and she kicked much ass at the competition.. helping win first place in spirit, placing in cyberspace pursuit, and getting FIRST! in digital imaging technology! and and.. if anywho wishes to mess with her. they will have their ass kicked too, by much more than me.. but also her many loyal followers and friends.


this is it for now.. today might be the first double post for me...

TSA HOW DO YOU FEEL?!

post 00089.

weeeeee! i am done with building my plane! huzzah! it is 4 28am! and i finished it at 3 00am! but had to clean up! and move stuff around! and check blogs! i will not remember what happened today at all.. soo! hence the "lost day!" because no one will ever fully know the events of this very day...

good night!

faster! faster! oh wait. too fast.

it is now, 9 27am the nineteenth of april. a day into the future according the time stamp. but i did want to recap yesterday's events.

it all started with... not being late for the bus. i went through my day totally normal. except nick was not in school.. he was up late for track (which he did quite well in) and probably did not want to go to school. (tell me if i am off on this) since good ol' nick was not in school, i was bored during chemistry class when i finished all the work i needed twenty or so minutes before class got out. so instead i read "a midsummer night's dream" for english. good play so far, and i hear it only gets better as the story progresses. and the normal day continued up to and including talking to stefanie in seventh period.

at home i really needed to get back to work on my plane for tsa which is in less that a week.. and that still did not work out so well.. i went about doing my normal online activities. (which has been officially labeled as "check blogs, deviantart, facebook(if time allows), gmail, lifehacker, and demonoid shoppin'..") which takes about an hour. so it is four o' clock and only an hour left till i go to tsa early to help kim with her picture and help myself with the plane there too.. but i decide i need a shower. and including the time it takes me to actually get into the shower, shower with face wash, body wash, and shampoo, plus drying off. i had only half hour till tsa at 5 00pm. i did take out my plane stuffs, but only to get ready to leave.

when i got to treasure coast high school (where tsa is located) me and eilene were the first people there. i set up and worked on my plane till... kim arrived! before the actual meeting i helped kim shoot the "omg, proposal" picture. which i how i can get my hands on to show you guys. at the meeting we discussed all the important info that the parents needed (parent meeting by the way) such as who is driving with who, location, rules, food situation (we raised 600 dollars exactly over last weekend for food), and times of departure and arrival both ways. then i countinued to work on the plane till at 8 00pm when tsa was over.

we headed to a chinese buffet after tsa, and i ate a bit over my limit. no unfortunate consequences. the food was normal for a chinese buffet and when we got home, i wanted to rest a bit before working on my plane again.. but fell asleep till this morning when i woke up at 8 00pm.

to dream the possible dream.

okay so we kinda sort almost missed the bus again. but we did make it. i ran out of the house with still one more poptart on the table...

at school before classes, i was talking to my history teacher. we continued, for a moment, the conversation that we had the day before, about the kid with "hair"..
after first period, i remembered that we had the "student showcase" which is when teacher's pick some exemplary work from their students and stick all of it in a room for parents and other official people to see. i was unsure if me and landon had to actually go and present the powerpoint that was picked. so we headed to mrs. spooner's room to ask. turned out that she did want us to go, and asked us to come to her class that period so we could transfer the presentation to the laptop where it was going to be shown at. i got kim's planner (also a hallway pass) since i lost mine a while ago in my sixth period math class. we went got the file, fixed the mistakes in formatting (which took the entire period) and headed back in time for the classes to be dismissed. but oh joy i forgot kim's planner in the greyhound room. landon gave me the flash drive to give back to spooner and he went back to get the planner. at 11 45am during sixth period, we had to actually go to the showcase. i personally thought the "Presidential Election '08" powerpoint was pretty awesome. but through a horrible turn of events.. we were not able to get the sound for it. which definitely was more than half the coolest of it all. i would have had a replacement on my flash drive which is always on my keys.. but! of course the one day that i forget them.. i actually need to use the drive attached. me and landon just watched people fight with robots and made paper airplanes the entire time though.

and finally when i got home! i was expecting kim to come over from 4 30pm to 6 00pm. because she wanted help on her tsa digital imaging technology event. my help consisted of me.. looking at hot people in the alloy magazine, proposing to kim, laying on the ground laughing, getting into my parent car, and pitching ideas.

all the homework we had was the deathly math, and easy chemistry. but i still have not worked on my plane because of my bad time skills. i was going to work on it from 11 to 12. but i am talking to people and blogging. i will work on it right now!

fight! with more than just me.

okay so for today, a short day deserves a short description.

after school, i fell a sleep. dang, that too. i really wanted time to work on my plane. plus some interesting things went on and about today in school. but are a bit extraneous. my history teacher made some interesting comments on a certain someone with hair... and my bus driver dropped me off half and hour late because she had lost her wedding ring. eventually a good ending came out of it and she found it. she was crying the whole way through.

--
i am fighting. am i fighting the good fight? i'd like to hope so. i fight battles that i do not pick, as well as ones that are by my choice. most fight in the same battles against the same enemies but.. on a different battle field. some trigger words to the battles i fight are listed as such (trigger words and not actual words) is so that i maybe directly type them out without too much fear. i fight with and against time, blood, and the heart.

hidden loves and closing doors.

as to explain the missing post yesterday.. i took a nap after school because i was honestly dead tired from getting no sleep the week before. after i woke up for dinner and most of my time after that was taken up by homework. important news though. demonoid is back up! it is a private tracker that went offline for quite sometime. (a tracker for bittorrent) there is a story behind my hardships to get an account to demonoid and i shall decide later if it is a story for now. or later.

today, was the first time i was ever late for the bus. so that i do not go over each detail, i will make this short. we usually leave the house from 5 35am to 5 37am. this time we were a little be more relaxed of the timing.. and while driving to the bus stop, we see it drive out an adjacent street. darn. we go for a wild goose chase around the brain like roads of the neighborhood to beat them to the next stop. oh joy! good thing that me and eilene totally mixed up roads and directions that we missed the next few too. (we did not directly follow the bus instead tried to jump ahead a stop or two) eventually we end up being driven to school by our mom. i was not late, but i also would not like to repeat this tomorrow.

aside from that bit above. the rest of the school day was uneventful for the most part. at home, eilene was driven by our mum to her work so that eilene could get some tsa work done about technology careers. so i was home alone for an okay amount of time. i opened all the windows in the house to let the nice breeze inside. eventually it did get cold. (sorry billy, 73 degrees) i spent some time getting on to eilene's computer for a favor from her, then defragmenting the entire drive and cleaning the crap files up. (with defraggler and ccleaner)

time to ramble? maybe, let's see how far this goes.
at night. i have a certain weakness. once my mind falls into a lulled sort of state, i will blurt out most anything. depending on the level of sleepiness. do and do not try to use this on me. this blog is public and as such goes to people that i could have not totally intended to tell any information to.

hmm.. seems like i did write. but in a hidden message. don't bother looking for this one. it makes little sense when read over.

control plus copy, control plus paste.

this morning totally forgot that i had tsa fund raising so when i woke up to my alarm i thought to myself that i had more time since it is the weekend. i eventually got up.. and rushed a shower, breakfast, brush teeth, and run out after going down a mental list of things to make sure i did not forget anything. at first, while fund raising out side of walmart it was really hot in the sun. but as the day went on it was good. the shift was from 9 00am to 3 00pm with a 11 30am to 12 30pm break. during the break i shared a combo at blimpie with eilene and that is when kim's shift started. (me and eilene took both shifts sunday, kim took both afternoon shifts on saturday and sunday) some interesting people walk around there..

from here on out.. change this to nick's point of view.
I called V up and asked him if he i could come over his house after he was done fund raising for TSA. He said yes, and off i was to the Wal-Mart on US1. I got there and V, Eilene, and Kim were just talking and such, and then V told me he wanted a drink from the vending machine, so i went over to see if i could work some magic....or something. I just started hitting the buttons on all of the machines, and suddenly one popped out a soda! It was amazing and weird at the same time.

Then we went to V's house and we went outside and caught some frogs, and then V suggested we go for a bike ride when i told him i was getting antsy, so we did. Only,..he biked and i walked. It was a pretty good run, including the end in which i tried to beat him home (i lost miserably). Then we tried some handstands, and V gave me a quick tour of how he performed his midnight escapade a few nights ago.

Afterwards, we ate some dinner. I always like eating at V's house, cause his mom always cooks really good food, which i usually never eat at home. Afterwards we went to his room, listened to some music on the Mplayer, watched some videos, and then went outside to admire the b-e-a-utiful day it was. V challenged me to a paper airplane contest, and of course i won with my classic jet plane configuration to his harrier design. Then we got reeeeaally bored and just started rolling a ball back and forth down the hall. But we got an idea, and tied a hoola hoop to a light so it hung just above the ground, and put some empty bottles at the end of the hallway, and we tried to do some bowling. Unfortunately, thats exactly when my mom showed up.



p.s. i just edited nick's winning plane and made it about three times better. teamwork man, teamwork.

p.p.s. i am listen to the red sox, yankee game on the online radio.. which now also mean i have a way to listen in on any red sox game i want! i could watch the game on tv.. but i took the tv out of my room and put it in the guest room for halo 2, and the old place for it is all covered with stuff.

p.p.p.s. i didn't work on my plane today..

--EDIT
when i first built my practice plane (now destroyed) i took off the propeller and let it glide. reallly slowly.

slight pang of guilt.

so what might be my longest absence yet. (have not actually checked yet.) return without great cause or reason. but for the simple fact of continuing. i tend not to remember my days as i go along so i fear that i can not recall the days since my last passing. in a more general sense though, since wednesday or at least i think so.. it was been a miserable week. (might be before or after) every person i have personally asked has so far given me the same answer. that i was right and this week stood out a bit more and just really sucked. billy especially.

some more major occurrences or events that did take place over the missing week would be.. my first testing of my practice plane, falling asleep during math class, my being a victim to matchmaking, total sleep deprivation, and that might be it. if anyone has anything to add do tell. i am practically falling asleep as i write this (1 47am).

today in a quick run is.. woke up early. unpacked final model airplane, worked on that when kim came over, and watched lord of the rings: the fellowship of the ring, and two towers.

ugh there it is again.. that need for sleep. i will need. i am dong a double shift canning in front of walmart.

almost done!

when i came home from school today, i was dead tired. even on the bus i was totally knocked-out. fell asleep from three o' clock to past six.

now there are probably some important things i wanted to mention.. but they have totally left my mind. everything except my music playing on winamp, the tools in my hands, and the tsa practice competition airplane coming to life.. totally left my head. i just finished building it. and only.. two weeks before the actual states competition. since i am at a lost for words.. and quite frankly my brain is not working right now. i give you pictures!






p.s. i am a big let down right now, i should have completed the practice plane ages ago. but i would have been an even bigger let down to myself if i did not finish it before the next tsa meeting. which i have unskillfully avoided. tengo felicidad.

p.p.s. posting time. (3 45am-4 01am)

p.p.p.s this huge scab is coming off my knee from when i fell to the ground while on my bike.

running low.

the reason for missing yesterday's post was i was up working late on my tsa plane. and billy with chemistry. which i guess i did not do what i hoped, details in billy's blog.

today, woke up pretty well considering i had two and a half to three hours of sleep. but i was moving quite slow though. we get out of the house nearly on time. but we ended up sitting at the bus stop for twenty minutes later than usual. an accident on the road held my bus back for a bit. i got in school in time enough to sit down and talk for a minute before the bell rang. though i do not remember if it was already the late bell or not.. since because of my lack of sleep again (1 18am) i might be modifying my memory. now for something that i do not usually do. a full school day summery.

spanish class we wrote about what we did during vacation. i was eventually called on.. but my sentences although making total sense grammar wise, i had trouble remembering anything that occurred over the break. so one sentence im at the end of the vacation then im back talking about my friends' houses.
history class kinda dulled the mood a bit since it was just more writing as we do every day. but it was less of the normal note taking and instead we wrote ourselves a test review while he read off the test. without direct answers.
at my drama class, we had a small presentation on careers in theatre. and due on friday is a tiny research project.
in chemistry class it was wicked hot which made doing random extraneous work even worse. i would have hoped to get back started on things since chemistry is interesting when not so forced upon the mind.
in english class we finished the movie "breaking away" which i would recommend to watch. some shakespeare pages were handed out, which we will be eventually be tested on.
the algebra class was the most boring of them all. sadly i like math as well as chemistry but those classes were huge drags today. imaginary numbers were a bit more boring than the other topics because it had easy notes but going so slowly. i nearly fell asleep in class while writing.
seventh period music tech class, we are putting on another show, which is not written by us with random and odd music forced into it so i would recommend that whom ever can, go see it but.. it is during school and for sixth graders only. that is bull and i hope that is changed.

i got home around 3 00pm and planned to start my homework then. but didnt until 5 00pm. i shall shoot for a better time tomorrow. also i finished my english project and will be turning it in, in a few hours time.

p.s. i am using firefox 3 beta 5!!

upsides and incentives.

sleep last night did not come till much later, as i was working on my english till somewheres about 4 00am. i woke up early enough to see my parents and eilene leave the house but i left asleep until the doorbell rang of my parents' return. then i ate and took a shower.

i wish i could walk around places, but in port saint lucie you can not. im almost set up to get started to get my permit.. if anyone could list the steps... that would be nice. i have most of it known.. but don't want to miss anything.

my second part of my english project (first part in previous post.)


p.s. i found a way to take any song online.. and make it use the facebook player. which is really sexy looking compared to the normal quicktime player.

...or so i thought.

today no actual post. just project i am working on.. and took up all my time. today i did goto my friend anna's house for her birthday. made a text rose for her card. and watched "shoot 'em up" or something. then played apples to apples, then played dance dance revolution.

it is half of what the project is. the other half is "optimist." i need to use my silhouette to depict two sides of me.

beats of an angel.

today i woke up a bit late. and as such i did not go biking today. eventually i ended up in the guest room and falling asleep for a few hours after talking with eilene. after i woke up i went online.. and stumbled upon an instant messanger program called "digsby." it is very good so far. but since it is in its beta still im giving it some slack. you can consolidate multiple IM accounts, email services, and facebook and myspace. and as anna put it.. good for her because she is lazy. also today.. my mom finally got some corn starch for me and i made some "oobleck." it is a non-newtonian fluid, made from one part water, two parts cornstarch. when you move your fingers in it slowly it fills like a ooze. but if you strike it with your fist then it acts like a solid and feels like one too. punching into a bowl of corn starch and water was never more fun.

i found my old blog again. it is something definately to look back on.
and something totally unrelated.. my heart beat.



my heart actually skips a beat.

p.s. anna nguyen is currently the first and only person to find the hidden message in the post: "hidden messages and prom dresses."

last stop... will never come.

here we go into story mode!:

with the alarm ready for 6 o' clock in the morning.. virak _thought_ all would go well. sleeping at 10 00pm? this would have been the earliest of all his previous attempts. he even took the best shower he'd had in ages. but there was one fatal mistake made. he did not want to goto sleep. for the next two hours up until the clock struck midnight.. virak lay awake on his bed.. thoughts drifting among themselves, in and out and about his brain. "what if i can't finish it?, what if she doesnt like me back?, when is that project due?, am i gaining weight?, what if something went wrong?, am i strong enough?!, or what if i spend my time wasting away?!, or even life itself has lost meaning!!" he would have to soon silence these thoughts soon or he would never lay at rest. the first remedy on the list.. music. song after song would calm him down.. force the others out of his mind. but this turned to the worse. now occupying his mind.. useless music videos! directed and invented by yours truly! every song gained a new video and each song did the same to keep him from his lulls. the music was left behind as he picked up his blanket and moved to the guest room. "oh yes, this room is comfy.. maybe sleep will come to me here," he thought to himself. wrong again. he twisted and turned in bed trying to finally lay in a deep slumber. finally all was well.. and the day's events had finally left his mind. but would he wake up the next day? yes. but one hour too late.

/end of story mode!

i got up at 6 50am instead of at six like i planned.. but me and eilene went biking anyways and it was good. right before we headed home (in fact this is one of the reasons for heading home) i got a weee bit bored and started to go in circles on the road. very small circles, so small they required me you get low to the ground as i rode. kinda like those people that race in tracks on motorcycles. then something (probably sand) caught under the wheels and i hit the ground. it was a small drop the disorientation caused me to want to puke on the ground when i got up. i didn't and we headed home. the results are a small scrape on my elbow and knee.

today i watched.. the commentary to disturbia (very good), laundry (took a while.. kinda not done folding yet), parts of spanish homework (so long, under estimated it), and a wee bit of halo with eilene.

i did not get to work on my tsa practice plane today. (noooooooo. not good.)
good night, i hope to be more productive tomorrow. (12 50am)

p.s. anyone find the hidden message in my post titled "hidden messages and prom dresses" ?

bed.

sleeping early for at least once this vacation.

i can do handstands, with witnesses.
