NOTE TO SELF:

rain rain go away
come again another day
Dear Annie,
Stop procrastinating! Get off of Facebook and MSN and shove those distractions aside; stop uploading pictures and looking at recent videos and reading wall-to-walls like a stupid stalker! Get your work done first; then you won’t be under so much pressure. Then you can get [...]

gordo o delgado

Body image. A person’s biggest worry. But really, why care so much? If you’re healthy, then that’s great. You don’t have to be 5′7” and 110 pounds to look good. And does looking good really matter when you feel horrible after going on a sudden crash diet? No, not [...]

the day the lights went out

So, I woke up in the morning at 5:45, an hour earlier than usual, so that I could get to school by 6:30 to meet Yura and do yearbook work. I went through the usual routine, maybe a little slower since I had to wake up at such an ungodly hour, but things were [...]

Rules, rules, rules. Why do we follow rules? Wait … do we even follow rules? Why are there rules when people don’t even follow them?

Seriously, what’s with the weather? Yeah, we dream of a white Christmas, but it doesn’t snow. We, meaning both students and teachers wish for a snow day or [...]

dreams

My dreams are always so strange. They always incorporate people, places, and things that I am familiar with, but they are mixed up in weird ways. My school friends and church friends, who in reality, have never even met, are best friends in my dreams. My family, who in reality, lives in [...]

i’m walking on … ice? woooah

Sometimes, I feel like I’m walking on ice with certain people. It may be a temporary mood swing, or it may be their personality, but no matter what it is, it’s scary. I have to be so careful about what I do, what I say, and even how I look so that I [...]

brothers & sisters

It seems to me that families that only have daughters are a lot closer and more intimate than families that only have sons, or families that have a mix of daughters and sons. It’s just my opinion, but doesn’t it sound kind of true?
Sisters share more with each other; more secrets, more fights, more [...]

i’m a twinkie!

Yellow on the outside, white on the inside – so, is that a problem?
I’m proud to be a Korean-American, but no matter where I go, there are people who don’t accept me because of it.
In the States, there’s racism. People always say, “Nahh, racism doesn’t exist anymore,” but it’s obvious that isn’t true. [...]
