Let's start with Friday.
After school, I went to Albert's house with Allyson and made cookies. THOSE COOKIES TURNED OUT HORRIBLE! It was pretty funny watching them turn out so bad. I swear that I have never made cookies as bad as those in my entire life. I don't know exactly what it was, but for some reason, they were really bad. Oh well, it provided us with some laughs.
On Saturday, it was time to get up and go to the high school for the Folsom Marching Band Competition. We practiced and then hung out at school for awhile playing Kokology, a bunch of quizzes that analyze yourself. Some of the quizzes were right, and some of them were way off. After this, we loaded the buses and headed to Folsom. The bus ride didn't seem that long. We were watching 17 again, and Perry totally got really into the movie. Albert dreaded it because it had Zac Efron in it, the star in High School Musical. "We're all in this together," right Albert? XD Anyways, the movie made the ride seem to go a lot faster. We watched Ratatouille after that...which reminds me.. I want to download that song from the movie. Send it to me :) We were pretty rushed when we got of the bus, and a few people weren't even at the competition yet. Overall, our performance went well. We made it into finals (barely) and then performed again. We got 10/10 again...sigh. Eager to hear what the judges said. On the way back, I was pretty tired and tried to sleep the whole way.
This morning, I woke up with a sore back, probably of Sarah hitting me (her way of massaging). I woke up at 10 and ate breakfast/ brunch and then headed over to Sarah's house around 2ish to play basketball. I think I'm pretty bad at basketball and it's not the greatest sport in the world, but I think it was fun. We tried shooting from half court and although no one made it in, I got kind of close and I made two 3 pointers (one of them my first try!) Once I get going on something, it seems like I can't stop. I played the whole time, even when Sarah and Anh took breaks.
We went to Tee's house and played with her adorable puppies. They were really cute and soft, but they peed everywhere. Sarah stepped in poop too... She cleaned her shoes and then biked back to her house. Her brother drove us to get milk tea and we saw Sarah and Anh's friend, Steven working at Sheng Kee bakery. Talked with him for a few minutes, arguing which kind of cake was better (mango mousse vs. German chocolate). I voted for the mango mousse, that cake is gooood :D

you don't really know me
I can't seem to let it out. All of the things that I've had on my mind lately, I don't tell them. But now they're digging into me, and lately, I've been thinking of things all of the time. Should I tell this? Even my blog isn't safe. I don't publish these kinds of things here. I keep them in my head.
Yes, I'm so cheerful everyday you see me. I smile at you politely, and I laugh at your jokes. I listen to you; I talk to you. No one knows the problems that I have. And I cannot tell anyone. I don't think it's trust issues, but then again, I wouldn't know. I fully trust only a few people (not even my own mother). I just can't find myself to tell anyone anything. I guess it's because if I don't tell anyone, then they won't tell anyone either. I don't want people to know my weak spots. All of the pressure that I feel that's on me, from parents and from friends. It's dragging me down, but somehow I always manage to overcome it.
But now it's building up inside of me with almost no possibility for escape. I want to scream for help, but who should I turn to? No one will understand.
When you see me tomorrow, I'll look happy for you, like I do everyday. You will never know this side of me because you have never seen it. I don't always seem to know the reason, but for now.. I will smile for you tomorrow.

blogging is good for the soul
I haven't blogged in awhile which is good and bad. I think writing stuff down lets you get things off your chest and helps your mind relax a little bit. Since I haven't blogged in a long time, I have all of these thoughts floating around in my head. And my dreams haven't been helping much lately either.
One of my dreams was that there was a grocery store that had EVERYTHING inside of it. And if it was missing something, all you had to do was wish for that item, and it would appear. But all of a sudden, the store started expanding and shrinking. Everything was malfunctioning and that Utopia of a supermarket was beginning to collapse. A little girl was at risk of getting hurt, while her brother waited outside for her. All I did was bring the boy out to his mother. I have no idea what happened to the little girl...
Another one of my dreams started off with the world about to end. We had about fifteen minutes until we thought it would end. After fifteen minutes, we were still all alive, but we were living in a deserted city. Those have been just some of the weird dreams I've been having. Maybe these dreams resulted from a lack of sleep, but I hope they don't mean that I'm destined to live in a world that's collapsing right from under me.
On a happier note: I wish Halloween would come already! Our costumes are awesome :)

it is called improvisation
Yesterday, I decided to bake some cookies because for one, I did not feel like doing homework, and two, because my internet had some technical difficulties. As I went to bake them, I realized that I didn't have enough butter, so I decided to improvise. I didn't measure anything out, and the cookies turned out better than they have before. The result was kind of bittersweet: The cookies were tasty, but I didn't write the recipe down.
I meant to bring some to school today, but I totally forgot because I was kind of rushed this morning. Sorry Albert! Tacky Tourist day was today and socks and sandals are not the best combination in the midst of the wettest day since 1962. (Fun fact provided by Mr. Colburn!) Anyways, since I dressed up for Tacky Tourist day, Di-an made me go be part of the noontime in the theater. It was slightly awkward, especially when Valentina came up with her shirt w/ a bikini painted onto it, like the one from How I Met Your Mother. So, I participated in this noontime which was some fashion show, so I could be entered into a raffle to win something from the student store. I wish it was a warmer day for Tacky Tourist day, but sadly it was pouring down rain. What I've learned from this day: Tourists dress for convenience and not necessarily for style. Fanny packs are actually pretty convenient :)
After school there were some pretty fail moments displayed by Albert and Allyson. It's not always all me!
Me: There's a raindrop on your glasses.
Albert: (Tries to blow it off).
Me: That's not gonna work.
Albert: (Takes off glasses and tries to wipe it off). It doesn't work! Oh wait...it's on the inside of my glasses... D:
Allyson: (Walks outside and then comes back around) Where did Maggie go?
Albert: She went outside and followed you.
Allyson: Goes back outside looking for me XD Comes back inside saying that she's gonna kill me o.o

i prefer high fives
First thing first. We got new teams for volleyball! And I am so glad. Although, today some person on my new team totally pushed me aside to get the ball which caused my glasses to fall off. He shoved into my head and at first it kind of hurt a little, but I think it hurt him more than it hurt me. Our team is pretty funny also. When the ball came over, one guy hit it right into someone's face and both teams fell on the ground laughing. It was hilarious, but you had to be there.
Second thing second. Yesterday after tutoring, I went to El Torito's for this Kiwanis dinner. I met a whole bunch of Kiwanians and ate some Mexican food for free :) It was actually pretty fun, but awkward at times. The man sitting in front of me went to Cal Poly and majored in architecture or something. A bunch of them were talking about what a blog was. LOL. Rhodan and I had to explain it, telling them what you write about, what websites it's on etc. It was really funny because afterwards Dorothy, Greg, Rhodan, and I went to Blush to get some dessert. Dorothy and Greg, who were sitting at the other table in El Toritos, told us how Ms. Weiss got a little buzzed. They said she spilled her drink and was really happy and everything. When I told her goodbye, she did seem rather cheerful. Oh btw Albert and Sarah, I got Chocolate frozen yogurt. There's limited flavors there. That's why I like Orangetree better :D
Today: We had some major issues during band practice. We pretty much suck and I don't know if we can get much better. We need to work on focusing, working harder, listening, marching better etc. All of that stuff if we don't wanna be super embarrassed at Cupertino or at other future competitions. Almost forgot, I need bus buddies! Right now, I only have two bus buddies...Allyson for Indie and Sarah for Folsom. Anyone interested in being my bus buddy?? I will be very lonely, but maybe not as lonely as Sarah who didn't have very many bus buddies last year XD.
Special thanks to Sarah for not making that much fun of me today and giving me some high fives! I got like...6 high fives today! Special NO THANKS to Albert Chang, Wilson Yu, and Perry Pham who, like always, make fun of me for everything and don't give me real high fives. (only the occasional pity high five D:)

i wish, i wish at 11:11
By the way...no, I didn't wish for you! XD
11:11. A time when you are supposed to wish. A few days ago, Wilson Cheah told me that he missed 11:11 by one minute. I was curious to what the deal with wishing at this time was, so I decided to do some research. The research was pretty minimal because it was already past 11 and I was getting pretty sleepy. Here are the rules:
1) You have to look at a clock and it has to already be 11:11. You cannot look at the clock at 11:08 and wait until 11:11 to make a wish. In other words, the wish has to be spontaneous and unexpected.
2) You cannot look back at the clock until 11:11 has past. If you look back, your wish is blown.
So, I'm going to try and start looking at the clock more often. Although, I'm never really completely awake at 11:11 PM.
Mondays are always, always, always tiring. Our volleyball team lost. I don't really know the exact score. I really wish that I could've picked more of my team... I picked 2 people in total and this other guy wanted to be on my team for some reason. When he came, I was like....uhh why me?? And, he isn't very good. (No offense) I know that I may seem...nice and cheerful on the outside. I say, "Okay. Try to get it over next time," or something like that. Inside, I'm thinking, "Wow. Omg, why are you on my team..." Only to maybe two of the players on my team. It may not seem like it, but I am pretty competitive. I like to win and hate to lose. Winning isn't everything, but it feels awesome when you do win
I don't know my top picks for positions for Journalism! Some people said sports editor, but I like news. Maybe Ad manager? Or entertainment, or features??? So many choices.
