This spring break definitely outranked the others. Japan opened my eyes to a new beautiful culture where respect was not an option but contagious throughout the entire country. We landed in Tokyo and stayed for four days. That city changed my life. I discovered that I was a talented navigator when RJ and I got dangerously separated from the group in the freezing rainy streets of Shibuya, the major shopping avenue in Tokyo. Our rooms were so tiny but adorable. The other group was from Los Angeles and they were from an all boys Catholic school. They eventually found the beer in the vending machines and got hammered. It the funniest thing to see for a sober person. Also, we had french fries for breakfast almost every day. The subway was cramped like sardines in a can but it was awesome. We slept on futons, a traditional style Japanese mattresss on floor, and wore kimono things at Sunmi Club in Hakone. The funny thing about the kimonos was that we couldn't wear any other articles of clothing underneath. Naomi and I broke the rules and wore camis. The dinner that night was an eight or nine course meal which was laid out diagonally in order from right to left. Kyoto was next and we saw too many Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines to count. I tried Japanese green tea flavored soft serve icecream and fell in love with it. I miss it already. The cherry b;ossoms made me feel as if I was walking in a fairyland. I am proud to say that I did not have McDonalds once even though it was around every corner. Osaka was a mini Tokyo. On our last night we became really good friends with the other group and sang karaoke. Too bad my cash ran out so quickly so I struggled sometimes trying to find a place that would accept my credit card. There is so much from this trip that I could be typing for days. So to close this post off I will end it with some new inside jokes:
I am so glad that we have this five day weekend. This is just the kind of break I needed to recuperate and make up all the lost hours of sleep and forgotten episodes of vampire diaries, secret life, and oth. We got our SAT results yesterday and I think I got lucky. REALLY lucky. Haha. I scored fifty points higher than what I was aiming for. Go Spin! Anyways that score slightly assisted my self esteem by pulling it out of the dreary quagmire of uber bad grades that was swallowing me before. Atleast I can breathe now. It's snowing again and it's be-a-u-tiful. The snow appears so fluffy and innocent. Nostalgia is taking over and throwing me way back into the days when we used to live in Minneapolis. Oh! Atif Aslam is finally coming here!!!!!! I almost peed in my pants when Astha told me. I must go. Must!
I took the SAT today and I think I did alright....
Guess what song I had stuck in my head the entire time????? Yep. The Titanic theme. It popped into my head during one of the math problems and was like "my iPod stuck on replay ay". haha
But anyways I got through and persevered in the windy, biting cold. Now I'm going to catch up on Secret Life and Vamp Diaries that I have been DEPRIVED OF. Have a good night everyone.
;D
Wow! I feel SUPER behind on my posts. But that's ok. You can check Elaine's blog for an update of what I've been up to for the past few days since we're practically connected at the hip. Yep. So I took two practice tests out of the ever so impossible Barron's book. They weren't that great. I need to get 2200!!! ugh. It turns out that Mapquest is utterly unreliable. The trip to Central Gwinnett high which was supposed to take a simple 34 minutes ended up being a whopping 62! You know hat that means? I have to wake up an hour earlier! :D I really want this SAT thing to be over with. Let's see, I learned how to make Chai today. The legit, indian tea. I'm getting addicted to the stuff I tell you. Soooooo. Taylor Lautner was on the Golden Globes last night. It was interesting. What was really awkward was sitting with the father and trying not to grimace at one of five million sexual jokes during the program. I need to cut my nails. They are hindering my words per minute speed.
Even though it feels like Christmas was just yesterday, Valentine's Day everything is freaking everywhere!!!! So I felt like talking about love. Love is..............
Well, every person has a different perspective and we can never truly know what love is. All that we do know is that we all have gotten that mushy butterfly feeling in our stomachs. At some instances this feeling crescendos in strength and takes control of us!
I've always thought that girls and guys handle this infatuation thing differently:
Is he hot or is he hott??
NO SCHOOL TODAY! thank you one millimeter of snow.
Happy Birthday to you.
ummmmmmmmmmm
I don't feel that sick anymore!
I think the bacteria that was giving me a major headache decided to take a road trip to my throat. This morning my throat was once again swollen as if a had been rolling in pollen or something. While I was brushing my teeth I had the unpleasant feeling of the inflated sides of my garganta creating much unwanted friction.
My mom seriously thinks that drinking milk and honey will magically cure my ailments. I had my third piping hot cup of that concoction today. meh.
Thank you to all my followers!!! You are the best!
P.S.
My mom is singing "Taal se Taal" hehehe :P
So apparently this movie was a blockbuster hit.
Whenever we call people in India we use Reliance Mobile. And guess what???
This year they have a callback ringtone (if that makes sense) that plays the latest bollywood song as you wait for the call. Today my mom was so confused when the hit song "All is Well" started blasting from the phone. You had to be there. She had the WTF look on her face. Anyways, shortly after that, I found out I'm going to see this movie this weekend!!! I'll let ya'll know if it really lives up to the hype. Apparently, the film is so good that even AMC is playing it. I just hope it's half as good as Race.
So it's snowing here!!!!
I told my mom it was just God's dandruff. lol.
Don't get too excited there now. It's not sticking. I'm doomed. I haven't even cracked open the Pageant U.S. History book and we have a humongo triple quiz tomorrow. Yay me. On second thought, the snow is reaalllllllllly prettttttty.
I still can't figure out how to follow thatelephant. Elaine, you gotta help me here.
Thirty minutes ago I slurped down some garam garam (hot- in temperature) indian-style chai (that's tea right?) and I have to say there's nothing like it. My nasals passages are happy now. I"m addicted to it. :] The tea, that is...
I miss school. I can't wait to go back tomorrow. Unless we don't have school that is. Hey, my eyes aren't burning anymore!!!!
Don't you hate having a fever the day that school's out??? Well, for me I think I've been cast the curse of the-day-that-it-snows-you-will-be-forced-to -bed-rest. FML
Come on. Really?
Ever since the younger days I've never EVER been able to even friggin step outside on a snowy day without feeling the burn in my eyes. Curses.
Yup.
soooooooooooooo We got our PSAT scores today. Being an "Asian" is not good on days like these. Asian moms suddenly unleash their stored up disappoint over us who have not reached the 2000 mark. Lucky me. I barely skimmed the 2000 mark and got a 1970. :C According to my dad, I won't get into college. Oh well, now I can work at that chinese fast food place. They even have a panda!
lallalalalala
I can't breathe.
Happy Snow Year!!
