today's to-do list

the most important thing to establish is that I don't go on AIM today. it's too much of a distraction, although I will concede that really like some of those distractions and welcome them with open arms.

anyways, here's the list:
1. wash up
2. walk oliver with my iPod (I love my ipod.); I'm planning on walking him twice around the timber to hostetter to flickinger to sierra to 4 oaks route--btw: I really like walking down 4 oaks, it's really beautiful, and quiet.
3. go home. shower. and eat.
4. start homework; I'm determined to finish up to chapter 20!
5. go to the library; I have some SAT books, and I'm planning to take a crack at some excercises, at least!
6. not go. on. aim.
7. clean my room & bathroom; yeesh, it's messy, and my mom is displeased with how it doesn't reflect how ladylike I should be (speaking of which, i need to practice walking with books on; poster is not as well as it should be since summer.
8. sleep early? because I won't be on myspace today!

alright, that seems fine. eight is a good number. :) farewell now! (and wish me luck!)

in the crux of doing homework

I just realized that my life sucks, and the only reason I'm not really complaining about it is because I'm scared that this isn't the lowest there is, and that conditions might degrade after I say something.

I suppose this is how the Jewish people felt when the Nazis started to harass them, and the reason why they didn't speak out against it was because they feared that the Nazis would do something worse than what they already have. (yes, it's a horrible analogy, I realize. The Jewish people have probably suffered and have been mistreated so badly that no one should talk badly of them ever again-- I know. but i'm being melodramatic here...)

a person that makes me laugh

reading your entries make me laugh. not to sound mean, but I love how you try to incorporate the "dry humour" that you so fondly love. really, it's cute. and I'm glad you're one of my closer friends.

and now we go back to doing homework
(I think I broke one of my manifestos already.)
ah well, "c'est la vie," n'est-ce pas?

absolutely interminable

I'm quite convinced that it takes forever to upload one photo up on this blogspot. it's quite infuriating. why does it take so long?

...things like this make me realize that patience is a virtue that easily comes, and easily goes, depending on one's time, and hurry.

a salve for sores, burns, or the like; an ointment.

after publicly flogged, Namehere felt her whole body burning under the condescending glances by her fellow peers; unlike the burns victims, however, Namehere did not have any unguent to sooth and alleviate.

another start

I wonder what is it about the need for change, for something new...

why is it that we, human beings, are unable to settle? why must there always be need for change? I thought I was content with my previous blog, xanga.com/kokoakitty. yet I am here, starting this blogger. I wonder if it was a mistake, or an impulse, like that of livejournal. (---no offense to you LJ-ers, but was there ever a need to abandon your old xanga, and delete it? I was just wondering...)

so why do we start new things, only to abandon it for something that comes along later in life that's better? why can't we just settle?
...I don't know the answer to this one, either. heh. :) but this time, in this blog, I promise to not abandon you, like i did my LJ. and true to my promise, I won't abandon my old xanga account either. like kokoakittykat, it's been with me for far too long, and I love it far too much. it has settle, become a routine, a daily, a constant like that of nine point eight meters per second* that I find myself gravitating towards it no matter what...

as this is a new start, I'm going to make some decisions: (a declaration, a format, a constitution of the styles of this blog, if you will. and i will make it a constant--because constants are something i'm craving and in need of.)
number one: I will type numbers in the form of words if those numbers are less than 100. (100 does not apply numbers less than one hundred would be "ninety-nine", "sixty-seven", or "two". don't ask why, I won't have an answer for you anyways, this is just purely based on whim.)

number two: beginnings of sentences, as you've noticed, I'm sure, will not be capitalized. only proper names, and I's. again, this is based on whim as well! :)

number three: I will try to not use emoticons. emoticons can't really express myself anyways, and besides...I think I'm getting too used to putting faces, which professionals connotate with week, and immature writing. good writing should, say professionals, do not need emoticons to show how the writer is feeling. (yes, I'm sure that this might make things harder for others to tell, but I'm sure it'll be something that I can improve on, n'est-ce pas?)

number four: bolding texts is something that won't be seen commonly...unless there's absolute need for it. (can you tell, I'm putting in loopholes so my constitution can't come back to bite me in the ass! ...pardon the rude language)
number five: any foreign language will be italicized. just like a lot of others things will be italicized; just to embellish and emphasize it...

number six: I'll try to tone down the levels of profanity as well. not to be vain, but I think using profanity is really...deplorable, inexorable. besides...I think I'm creative and clever enough to use other words to substitute for the curse words. (I've noticed that there aren't a lot of of swear words in the Vietnamese dictionary...it's kind of amusing actually, we don't curse, we just talk badly about each other behind his or her back. really, which is the lesser evil?)

number seven: since I need to learn my SAT words, I need to use the "word of the day" that Dictionary.com sends to me. henceforth, everyday, there will be one post (albeit the length will vary depending on time constraints) each day with my "wordddd."

number eight: postings will be between the time I finish all my important or necessary assignments and the time I got to bed.

number nine: friends are welcome to comment, strangers are welcome to comment (although be forewarned, I won't take kindly to those that might oppose me; in fact, I may be a bit offended..! but I welcome stranger's comments nonetheless), strangers are also welcome to be my friend.

number ten: as with everything, I've decided that these rules may be subject to change, and that there may be amendments which can be added to this list, this constitution, this declaration...this manifesto. I'll also end every entry with "signed: I LOVEYOU PLATONICALLY"

*nine point eight meters per second: gravity, a constant to that of earth; something i'm so used to that it messes me up in physics sometimes because i always assume that it is the acceleration of everything sometimes, even though it is not. because just because it is a constant to me does not make it a constant to everyone else...especially martians...or other sorts of aliens
(NOTE:if you truly understand what I'm saying: "hello, would you like to be my friend?")
