Unofficially...

 

Freaking tan -.- California weather why u no have snow!?

My fifteenth birthday! I know what you're thinking if you read my earlier post. No, I am not using Microsoft Word you fools. 

As I was saying before I was mentally interrupted, it's my unofficial birthday today... if I was in the Philippines, that is. So that means I'm fifteen years old there but fourteen years old here. I find that very cool if you ask me; I'm another age on the other side of the world just for this day September 8,2012. I'm usually the type of person that would not go out for their birthday and (shamefully) likes to receive instead. So I'm not doing anything but wait for Exo's comeback so I could buy their CD + poster if they have one. Geez, my Exo feels is so low since there's not much well-written Exo fanfics out there. It's rare to find a memorable one these days.

For those who are reading this post, whoever is the first lovely deary that guesses what I will be doing for my birthday will get 24 Icons of their choice. If I come to your tagboard saying that you're the winner, please make sure that you are specific with: the band or person name, the colors or writing maybe, and etc. I hope you take part! Maligayang Kaarawan sa akin! Happy Birthday to me!

Adios mi amigos!

First Day, First Time

There's always a first time for everything they say- and that means eating in the restroom stall because you don't know anyone. Not that I'm complaining since I'm totally used to being aloof and quiet during lunch and since it's high school, they don't care where you eat as long as it's in the campus. I mean, I'd rather be a high school loser than be friends with skanks, and trust me, my school is filled with them. Just by waiting for the Big Gym to open, one song came up to my mind... Hot Problems. If you had not seen it then good because my ears just exploded.

The girls in my school just reminds me of them which is sad, really. Due to their privacy rights and the explicit things that happened this morning, I don't think I'll be able to write about their "skankiness" and "bitch" attitude. My blog is not meant to target anyone nor is it perverted. Good thing, I met new friends like Samantha who is Mexican but looks Vietnamese, track girl (because I forgot her name) who thinks Orchestra is pathetic, and Adrian who thinks my name is Georgia since I came from the state of Georgia.

Word of the Day: Skank. Don't be one.

EDIT: This reminds me of Mean Girls O.O


Speaking of first time, I did make a short-video or trailer, however you call it. Nothing special just something I made out of boredom. If you don't understand what happened, either re-watch it or tag me. I have failed as a storyteller. *facepalm* Interpret it how you want basically. 

The Thing Is...

I dislike Livejournal, really. Skimming through the posts in my former blog, Life of an IcecreamPocky, it is so that I have written a complaint about LJ. Reading it as of right now, I have some grammar studying to do. Read it below if you want.

"Gosh, I don't what the eff I'm supposed to do! All these people posting stories (mostly yaoi) and having nice journals and many friends, I just don't know how to be like them. This was like when I started tumblr and Asianfanfics. I had no idea on how things went and after a few days or one week, I got used to how it works. But, Livejournal is soo much different and it confuses me. LJ keeps sending me messages on every little thing I do and the layouts confuses me. Also, there is too much yaoi stories that it's actually making me hate yaoi. I mean, I love yaoi and I enjoy it, but if there's a little too much then I kind of go where people aren't usually at (that means I go back to reading straight love boyxgirl). I guess I am just being impatient, which is one of the most horrible things internet has done to me. Well, I'm going to give Livejournal a chance maybe in a few months or so, I won't be as confused as right now."

Now, I'm giving it another thought and that maybe I should start posting my stories there as well. I mean I do like AFF better because it's more friendly, it gives you a chance (a reason why there's so much horrendous written stories there), and your writing is more likely to be recognized there. Either way, my writing is not perceived in AFF as well so it's all good anyway. Of course, I have stopped caring a long time ago on how many comments and subscribers I receive.

I just want readers- like any other author out there.

For those of you who are just like me, don't give up. Don't let the lack of subscribers/comments/readers bring you down or lead you to writing illogical, terrible grammar, poor characterization, using random Konglish sh*t here and there, cliché, and basically just plain f*ckery fics since 90% of AFFers prefer those kind of stories. Keep doing what you are doing right now and it will pay off someday.

Good luck with school and life, the beginning of my road to becoming a mechanical engineer starts this Wednesday if anyone cares.

Hiatus... Still!

I am currently studying to pass the final exam for Algebra I to get into Geometry class. Wish me luck!

I won't be able to respond to you ASAP. I don't know when I'll come back either.

EDIT: Actually, my dad took up my computer since he thinks that I needed to "socialize" more. It's not that I'm anti-social or anything, but I really don't know this place. I still find it hard to adjust after a month, I suppose, of living here. That's why I'm on semi-hiatus-ish aside from school and the pains studying.

On the bright side, I'm halfway finished with that Painless Algebra book before I have to take the final exam. Please do ignore the first-second sentence of this post. I'll be lurking around but not really active as in posting random stuff about life, freebies, or complaints.

Life has been awkward and quiet, virtually and in-reality. I miss the old times!

Change of Plans

I really don't know what to do with my life anymore. One time I said that I wanted to go into the medical field and just last week, I've decided that I want to be in the aviation, mechanical, or perhaps maybe the aerospace industry. I suppose I’m more comfortable in that sort of field rather than dealing with blood and gross things, otherwise known as nursing. I’m thinking that’s a pretty great choice since I love to be around technology.

My mom always told me that when you’re a nurse, you have a better pay and they have great job security so I tried to inspire myself. I really did, but no. I just can’t. It seems like I can’t risk my happiness just to make my mom proud. Of course, my dad has no care in the world with what career I want to be as long as I get all A’s and the job is well paying. So it’s all good, right?

Putting that aside now. As long as I study and work hard, I’ll be in a good position in the future even if I have a change of mind again (to which I really need to stop doing since it’s making my head paranoid -.-).

Improving Myself

Currently listening to: เรื่องของเรา(อย่าบอกเขาเลย) Secret - K-OTIC (Such sexiness @_@)

Not behavior speaking (although it needs ameliorating itself), but it's how I get things complete. It is somehow related to my time management issues, but slightly distinct.

I've been so unproductive lately. It takes me days or even weeks just to get one task done. I believe it's because I get so distracted easily and work onto another assignment. For example: finishing a review then deciding to upload more freebies. Is that good or bad? It will be quite surprising that I'll finish this post by midnight even though I've written this since morning; that's how easily I get off task.

Now that school is about to begin in a matter of weeks... more like days actually, I need to re-organize my thoughts and try to come up with ways I can work yet play also. Otherwise, I'll hit rock bottom again like last year. If I only had good time management.

To celebrate Kana's new album, I made icons of her and also some other bands. No need for credits, just host it in your own server. Click here to see.

A total 16 Nishino Kana icons, 26 Exo icons, and 16 Infinite icons have been uploaded. More to come!

English Proficiency Test -.-

Currently listening to: Feather - Nujabes

Sorry for the sudden change of header. I was trying out the things I could do in Photoshop and voila! I've never thought I could do something as legit looking as this, really. Don't think that I don't like Yamapi because I changed my header and a few styles all of a sudden. He is actually the first person that got me into Jpop along with Arashi, AKB48, HSJ!, Ikimono Gakari, Nishino Kana, and others. Credits to Shinpanda for the wonderful PNG :')

I had to take the English Proficiency Test today as it is required for people who just moved in to the state. Even though the test was easy as one-two-three, I felt horrible during listening and essay part. I freaking wrote about House Cleaning Machine 3000 for my essay as it was asking me about what machine would I build to make my life easier! It's still weird that I remember every bits of that failed writing of mine.

If I could make any machine to make my life smoother, it would be the House Cleaning Machine 3000. That way, it is enabling me to do all the things I can't do while wasting my time cleaning. THE END

Okay, so I didn't really put "The End" on the "end" (get it?) because I would've had points taken off. After that, we went to my high school and I got my schedule! My classes here are so much better than my supposedly schedule back in Georgia. I am finally able to take non-honors classes without having heart-attacks that I won't be able to go on to honors for next year if I hadn't taken one this year. You may have guessed my classes in GA if you have read my previous blog posts. Here is my new schedule.

• Chinese for Foreign Language (I thought about it hard and Kris came into mind)
• Algebra I (Even though I already took it in 8th Grade)
• Biology (Not sure if it's honors)
• Symphony Orchestra (I'll still miss my trombone T_T)
• English I 
• PE

I just had to take Chinese even though I wanted to go into Spanish because one day if I ever meet Kris, I can talk to him in Chinese, like a boss!

Something Random

If anyone cares then I'm sorry for spamming you readers with all this crap of mine. I try to make this blog as useful as I can, I really do. So I attempt to write as many writing tips and upload freebies, to which I hope you'll benefit from.

Right now, I'm currently working on Version 13 for this site, and I decided to try a drop down menu for the navigation. It took me the whole night+morning figuring that shiz out and also finding a good tutorial. It may not be perfect, but it works pretty legit to me.

Guess what! Our bunk bed came today and I'm so happy that I'm no longer sleeping on that dirty carpet. Please excuse me/my sister's room, we don't have anywhere to put our junk at for the moment. 

After so much arguments, I finally won back my spot at the bottom bunk, though it was originally planned that I was going to sleep there anyway. 

I remember taking this picture while I was inside the airplane (Emirates) leaving the Phils. heading to Dubai. 

That my friend is Asiana Airlines which is heading to Seoul... SEOUL! I'm so envious of those people in there T_T There was so much airplanes heading to Korea that night and I felt so empty. I was mentally screaming "take me with you" when those airplanes took off. But that all happened a month ago, so yeah~

Last thing I want to add to this very random post is... Gangnam Style! Oppa Gangnam Style that is...

Dang, there was so much hype about this video! This gave me a good laugh and it surprised me to see Hyuna in the video xD LOL I just had to reblog the "Exo Gangnam Style Version."

 

 

Hai nako!

I have no idea how to translate the words above to English properly, but I know it's what you say when you're frustrated in tagalog. Shisus, ever since my mammy (how I call my mom) bought me that "guide to taking PSAT," I've been having conflicts in my head about what should I do in my life. Of course, graduating school is a MUST, but it's just that I have no idea where to live or what career I should choose. In my previous blog posts, I've said something about being a musician... well, that ain't going to happen. I realize that I should get a job that's more stable and better paying. So... Erika here is going to be a ... wait for it... a nurse! *booing noise*

Good lawd, as much as I don't want to become like mom, who freaking spends too much money on useless things and is a nurse, it is a must for me to become successful and it will be sorta pretty easy for me to get a work permit to where I want to live (which is undecided yet). I've always loathed being a nurse because I don't want to be an addition to the generation of nurses in my family, but there are some things that I really wanted to do in life that I had to give up. For example, being a musician. But, that doesn't mean I'm going to let go of my violin fully (aha! take that mumsy... I have many names for my mom). You see that, still living MY LIFE OF CHOICE yet LIVING MY PARENTS' LIFE OF CHOICE FOR ME (sorry for such emphasis).

As for where I want to live, I want to reside where it snows.  More... more... MORE SNOW! Also, there has to be lots and lots of rain and it can't be too hot either because summer weather just pisses me off (dayumm, by those descriptions I gave out, I might as well move to Antartica).

Ano ba naman tung buhay ko! Unteng araw nalang, babalik na ko sa US. Paalam pinas and goodnight people of the web! Oh and I may not post often due to studying for the brand new school year.

Hiatus!

To redeem myself from my keyboard smashing yesterday, this post will be a little classy, I suppose. What the heck, fudge that! I'm still mad that I can't see Exo. But anyways, the real point is that I'm going on a two month hiatus unless there's internet. In any case there's no internet, this will be my last post until I get back to the US which is around June or July. I promise to take many pictures and post them so you could see the beautiful places in the Phils. Gosh, I'm a little scared riding the airplane though, what if something happens? What if the toilet is nasty or what if the food is not good? Aigoo I'm already thinking about these things. I'm such a mood ruin-er.

I added more freebies, and I revamped my fanfiction list as to adding down my ideas. Feel free to take a look, and maybe take some of my resources to which you don't have to credit, but just don't hotlink.

Does anyone here listen to LEDApple? I started listening to them today and they are amazing! The meaning of their songs is just powerful (dang, I sound like my language arts teacher), which gives me a lot of plot ideas. And I'm starting to fall "in love" with Hanbyul. I'm not sure if it's his beautiful face or his accent when speaking English. Both are just so pulchritudinous (beautiful). Oh and I got my braces off! Bye for now guys, will miss you badly.

As for my affiliates: I'm sorry that I did not inform you about my hiatus. It's just that I didn't have the time to leave a message on your chatbox due to my end-of-term exams and projects. I have to help with packing also. I hope you can understand and I will be back soon. Bye for now.

New Layout + Updates

Yay! I finally got over my tiredness and decided to make a new layout. This time, I'm featuring the song Fly Away by SS501 (it was my first time listening to that song so why not). I just miss them so much! They were one of my firsts in Kpop along with Rain who I still support with all my heart, Lee Hyo Ri, and SHINee. Le sighs, I will still support SS501 even though they disbanded. Or are they still together but Jungmin and Hyunjoong are going solo but hasn't officially left the group? o(╥﹏╥)o  It just breaks my heart but I will still be a loyal Triple S... Speaking of which, when is Rania going to have a comeback? They are one of my favorite girl groups, and it's just sad that not many people like them because they are "too sexy." Well, if you ask me, Nicki Minaj is a million times more explicit than Rania.

Yush, I only have four more days till I get out of school and leave to go to the Philippines! I haven't seen the Phils for six years now and I wonder if my hometown still looks the same. I'm also deciding not to put up a hiatus sign for those who still wants to read my blogposts, and my resource page is open too. Mehehe, I'm so nice. Furthermore, I am writing another fanfic featuring Infinite and an OC, so feel free to support me. I guess I watched too much of those heartfelt sad movies for the plot to come in mind. Hm... can't think of anything right now, so I'm off to sleep since it's 9 already.

So Tired, So Hungry T_T

School is such a pain! There is so much projects and tests going on in every subject, even my connection classes is adding to my misery. And yes, I do HATE my connection classes. In fact, I'm pretty much screwed right now because all I have been doing in both classes is take a nap or me and my seatmate would look up lame pick-up lines and cheesy jokes. I'm such a bad influence  ( ≧Д≦), don't follow after my footsteps. If you're wondering what my connection classes are, it's Business Tech and Health, the most boring extra curriculum classes ever!

In addition to that, I have to turn in a one page, 12 point font essay discussing about "bad things" of my choice. I decided to write about anti-depressants because I don't think anybody in my class thought about writing that. Aah~ I'm finally being creative for once YAY! Also, my group chose me to research about the fashion, lifestyle, and etc. during the 60s. Gah! So much things to do that there's not even a room for procrastination. Not only that, I'm having one of those "spring fever." Yup yup. I am so tired from all of this last week of school work.

Just now, I realized that I've been so hungry the past few weeks. Not that my parents don't feed me, but the amount of food is not enough for me. I've been sleeping a lot too, but I think that's normal hm... Are these the signs that I'm transforming into a superhero lazy bum? LOL I have come to realize that my blog posts are becoming too dull, so I'l try to be more photogenic and post many pictures of my surroundings.


Woah... Sungjong  (´∀｀)♡ Gif spam ahead!

   

Tsk Tsk~

I know that I'm not supposed to be blogging right now, but screw it for this whole week. In fact, I'm really busy since there's final semester exams, EOTT, music, and I'm going to the Philippines this Friday. But like mentioned, screw it for now. I'll probably be on hiatus when I visit the Philippines, so why not use my time now while I still have internet connection. I will be putting up a hiatus sign on Thursday, and it will be removed once I know there is valid internet connection to where I'm staying.

Anywhos, this is my last week in Georgia and I'm feeling pretty sad and happy at the same time. I feel happy because there's this girl that has been getting on my nerves and she tries to gang her friends up on me, making me feel like doodoo. I feel sad because I'll be leaving my dearest friends that I have known since elementary school. Ugh, why must I feel this depressed over leaving?  Hopefully, I'll have more freedom in Cali California than I did in Georgie Georgia. Oh and please not let my new school have ugly uniforms or overall have uniform requirements... I'm begging you T_T And trust me, American school uniforms have got to be the ugliest clothing I have seen. I was even lucky enough to escape it when I moved out of Riverdale.

I'm also wondering... What do I look like when I'm around that guy I like, used to like, conflicting mood, syntax error have been spazzing over?


If you're reading this Connie, I'll tell you who I like when I give you the goodbye card on Wednesday mwuhaha!

Formal or Prom?

I guess today is the last day of my usual everyday blogging. Sigh. Anyways, we had our formal today and it was  pretty fun, though my feet started to hurt from those heels I had to wear. But I didn't let that screw me from enjoying the prom... if you call it that. Man, that formal was really ghetto, with girls shaking their butts on the air and the music especially. I really didn't mind it, but I loathed the slow dancing most of all. It felt pretty weird being one of the lonely females just staring off into space while your friends are dancing with their date(s). On the other hand, that guy that I...uh...have a crush on (that Hyunseung look-a-like dude that I kept spazzing about on my older posts), had asked me if I was okay because he was alone too. Of course, being the hopeless retard that I am, I kept wishing that he would ask me to dance, which he didn't. Whale~ I was gonna move to Cali anyways, so I won't see him anymore. I  feel so sad for some reasons, I really wanted him to ask me. I knew I should have to told him those lame pickup lines I found in the internet. Darn it *facepalm* 

Life 101

Hm... strange that I said will not be around the computer much since I accepted that five-hours-a-day challenge. Screw it for now, life has been pretty fun today, so why not talk about what happened in school today.

Okies, we had to do this activity called Life 101, where you get to experience the life of a working adult. And I mean pay bills without being broke. According to Life 101, in ten years I will be:

Married to Lee Sungyeol with one kid whose name is Lee Chung Cha. My job is a game manufacturer and also an aerobic instructor for a part-time job. I graduated from UGA, living in a mobile home with no car.  

I was pretty happy that I only got "one child" rather than "seven" because I don't want to lose this game of life, and be eliminated. Although, there were times where I had to break down and tear up because of the prices I have to pay. I hope that explains why I have no car and I live in a dirty mobile home. I guess me, Yeolli, and my daughter have to survive walking in the bitter cold. Speaking of which, why isn't it snowing?! No me gusta! I miss winter so bad...

 

Challenge Accepted

I've gone into more research about the Royal College of Music, RCM for short, and I realize that the chance of getting accepted is very little. Of course, I'm a little super scared because I'm not some prodigy unlike Vanessa Mae, who happens to be my role model. But nothing's impossible, so being a unrealistic retard that I am, it won't hurt to at least try and audition. So, I will practice five hours during the weekends, and an hour or two during the weekdays. I guess my first day was successful because I was able to focus, but I don't know about the other four years. And I would say that was very painful and tiresome, but at least I did gain a bit of arm muscle. Maybe I'll get used to rigorous practice over time. So, because of that, I won't be able to blog daily than I thought I would. Possibly, my status will be semi-hiatus for the rest of the four years, who knows. This commitment also applies during the summer time because I will be busy with learning music theory, sight reading, and aural stuff. Till then peaches!

Life of A Nerd

My fail selca I took while riding the bus. My hair looks like it has blonde highlights.

I realize that I haven't been posting any personal things. That is because I got too absorbed into giving tips about the Do's and Dont's When Writing Fanfiction. Especially when it's more easy now to find mediocre fictions than astounding stories. I guess this book is to blame also. Additionally... 

1) I have to help out in selling our furniture and junk- I've mentioned in my previous blog post that I'm moving to SoCal (Southern California). Obivously, we had to sell our things in able for us to move without being broke. And it is giving me so much pain that I have to stand outside, and wait for hours in the hot weather. The other bad thing is that I'm really awkward when talking to strangers, especially old people. Since my neighborhood is full of them, most of our costumers are ... what do you know, elderly people. 

2) I have lots of project to do- And it is killing me slowly in the inside. Of course, projects are really fun, especially social studies, but it can be boring at times. To not make this post tedious, I will talk about social studies instead of my other classes.


College Project- Basically, we have to research about the college we want to go to when graduating high school. I'm conflicted with going towards Manhattan School of Music or Royal College of Music. Both school seems okay, and the website is really amazing. But, I had to make a decision and ended up selecting Royal College of Music. Why? Because London seems like an amazing city to live in. Not saying that New York is a bad place, but I heard they beat up Asians there. I should really stop listening to my friends -.-


Fake Facebook- We have to create a fake "Facebook Profile" of American historical figures. I decided to do it on George Washington because I'm too lazy to be unique. It's pretty simple in my opinion, so I'm not freaking out.


Modern Georgia- The primary thing we have to do for this assignment is to cook "Modern Georgia Foods." That means burgers, hot dogs, or anything American, really. I am planning to bring in french fries because I don't have to work my butt off cooking it. Plus, I could buy it in the nearby McDonald's.

My formal is coming up too, and I'm thinking of going black. Thanks to Bubzbeauty for teaching me how to "properly" cake my face. 

Don't even blink

Hmm...I don't know what to blog about, so prepare for randomness! It's been hell and heaven in school and at home this week. Let me tell you and don't even blink.

1. Someone stuck a note behind my back. 
I actually thought she was complimenting me about my shirt. I knew it was too good to be true. That "girl" was lucky that I didn't read the note or I would have pulverized her. Is this the start of bullying? Hope not (there's actually a whole story about this). 


2. We had to run a mile. 
Remember my old post *look below*. Yes, for me to make up that Pacer's Test, I have to run a whole mile under 11 minutes (which is 4 laps around the track and field). Oh god, I thought I wasn't going to pass. But I did so HA! I had a motivation that if I pass this test, I was going to touch L's back (I've been called a "pervert" by a lot of my friends) and so...I chased this guy that looked like Jang Hyunseung (he was half Korean) and pretended he was L instead. He got tired a few minutes later and I beat him. When I got home, I went to tumblr and stared at L's back (as a reward for passing the test). 


3. Heaven by Ailee

I am so obsessed with this song! That gurl can sing and I have heard a few of her covers in Youtube, like The Climb by Miley Cyrus (although I hated that song) and Unfaithful by Rihanna (it was hilarious when Nigahiga sang that song in one of his videos). Also, she sang Halo by Beyoncé in this variety show? I'm not really sure, but her voice is like...heaven (see what I did there?). In regards of the music video of Heaven, they said the guy with the long hair looked like Jesus. Well, the music is heaven right? I'm glad though, that she ended up with Kikwang instead. Aah! I'm being so judgmental, please don't hate me.

4. New Layout

It's March and I'm working on a new layout. Since it's almost close to my sister's birthday, I'm asking her how she wants the layout to be. I'm such a good sister... Here's a preview. I really love the colors and I'm not pretty sure who to feature yet (probably Ailee, since my sister really likes her). 

A Loner

Happy Leap Year! I guess today is the last day of February. Hmm...just thinking of the gif above scares me. I remember my friend, Lexi, was late for P.E. and dang, that was the worst because all these weirdos kept staring at me while I was changing. I mean, go stare at someone else okay? Normally, they would just ignore me and Lex, but apparently she wasn't there.  I'm starting to hate physical education now. I failed the fitness test and to make it up, I have to run a mile under 11 minutes. Grrr...you know I'm gonna fail that test again so what's the point of taking it. I just hate how it's a state requirement now. 

I can't help but laugh. "White Chicks" is just one freaking hilarious movie. Finally had the time to watch it keke.

My Weird Lifestyle

Hello again dearies. Okay, so I'm pretty much blogging whenever I have the chance to and looks like I'm free even though I have tons of homework to do and I need to practice my violin. I just came home from school today and I feel dizzy because I slept 'till 4:00 a.m in the morning. Yup, my lifestyle nowadays is pretty...eh weird if you call it. Why? Well, I have been sleeping on the floor instead of my bed, I skip breakfast, I've been scaring the hell out of people for no reason, and for my free time I sleep. Haha, I'm such a lazy bum. But I still do what's important like school and blogging so no need to call me unhealthy.

Like I said, I've been scaring the cheese out of people nowadays. Moving on now. So I've been watching the Food Channel lately because there's nothing good on television these past few months. Actually, I haven't been watching T.V so I'm not updated with all the new shiz that's happening. Anyways, there's this really daebak show and it is called "Worst Cooks of America." Man, seeing all these kitchen fails just makes me laugh. 

I may not be able to blog for a couple of days who knows, so I'm using this time now while my parents are away. They're pretty strict to me now after that "bad grade" incident. Toodles ❤
