Spring Break So Far!!

Although its only been one official day of spring break, to me it seem like it started last week because my midterms were all done the week before. On Monday, I went to watch a movie called Limitless which was an alright movie. It had some unneeded scenes that were included. I would give it a B- for the story because I thought it was a pretty good storyline. On Tuesday, I went to watch Paul. The movie was hilarious, but I felt like there was no point to the movie because it was just dumb. Throughout the movie, I was laughing but when it got to the end of the movie, it sucked. On Wednesday, I went to school because I had to turn something in in my PSY 130 class. On Thursday, I went to a party up in Whittier and it was the first time I seen most of the High school students I used to hang out with there since graduation day. And yesterday, I went to the Lakers game where they played the Los Angeles Clippers. It was a fun week, but I do not know what else I can do this upcoming week which is the real spring break week.

Plans for Spring Break??

So spring break is just around the corner with the last week of midterms in our way. I do not have any plans for the week of our spring break, but I am going into spring break mode a little bit early this year because I am planning to go to SIX FLAGS!!! for the first time of my life on Tuesday. I know its midterm week, but I am pretty much done with all my classes and I am pretty excited to go. Anyone else has any plans on what they are doing for spring break?? I know all I am going to do is stay up late, sleep-ins in the morning, and just go to the beach or pool to swim. But with all the tsunamis alert, I'll take my chances at the pool decks. Probably going to parties and right now, my friends and I are planning to go up to Lake Havasu, but the last time I went there, I had a bad experience. I went before school started in the summer and the weather there was over 105 degrees everyday and I could not handle it. The last time I went, we left a day in a half before the scheduled departure day because no one could handle the heat. Maybe this time would be different and I am looking forward to the week off due to stress over midterms the last three weeks.

Studying Habits

Everyone has different habits when studying, but which way is the most effect way to study? Some people do not even need to study to do well on tests or exams, but many others do. Some people loves to study in groups while others do not like it. Most people like to try to relate what they are studying to something meaningful to them to have something to remember what they need to remember easier. What I do is that I like to write the things I need to learn on paper over and over again until it gets into my head. That is not the most effective way, but that is the way I use to get things into my head. Other things I do is that I usually have a friend teach me step by step and give me practice problems to try and get ready for exams. My brother is one of those who just looks over the book and would learn anything he needs to learn quickly. Some people has to work harder than others to try and get the same result, but life is not fair. Hopefully I find a new technique to study once the mid terms come around which is coming up really soon. If anyone has any new techniques, I am open to hearing new ways for me to study.

Car Crash

I just recently witnessed one of the worst car crashes on the 710 freeway. I was heading the opposite way until the traffic got really bad because of rubberneckers. I was really mad at the beginning but when I got to the position where I could see what had happen on the opposite side, I was pretty amaze by the car crash. What I saw was that out of four lanes and a carpool lanes, all but one was taken up by the car crash. What I saw was that one of the cars being hit by another car from behind which caused another car to be hit on the side which then gets slammed into the wall. While this was happening, my family and I were on the way to bellflower to drop off some things for my mom's friend. What happen that day will never be forgotten because it was so crazy. Later on that day about less than an hour, we all heard it on the radio which told us to not take the 710 and then we all started laughing because we pretty much witnessed it. I do not witness a lot of car crashes but that one is one of the worst ones I have ever seen.

Spring Break Coming Up!!! Midterms FIRST!!

So this week is going to be very stressful for some people because of midterms!!! Some people are studying during breaks as they are walking to other classes and some just studying at the horn center. Students study at the library, and many other places, but what some students should do is study in groups or at the tutoring center!! Some students may already be doing so but I had one session at the tutoring place last week and it was such a big help. Anyone who do not understand anything, I recommend them to go get some help. It would only help for practically nothing in return. I know everyone is studying hard and I do not know if you guys do it but whenever I study, I need a break here and there which is one of the most important tips listed on the site below. I am very happy we do not have a midterm this week in English, but only a paper due which is such a big help for me so that I have more time to study on my other subjects. For some reason I am in the spring break mode already, just wanting to finish up the midterms and have my spring break already!!! So lets get this week over with so we can get closer to SPRING BREAK!!! Goodluck on your midterms guys and girls!!

Sitting in my room all alone reflecting on the past week just keeps hurting more and more the more times I keep reflecting on this week. Sunday was the worst when me and my brother Vince goes into a verbal fight over something so dumb but when his girlfriend jumped in to make the situation worst, I exploded on her after I was trying to rest my case but she kept on insisting that I was lying. That situation led to my brother Vince and my future sister break up. Monday came and all I heard from my family and relatives was that I should go say sorry to his girlfriend when I try to inform everyone that I had my right to yell back at her because she had no right to call me a liar while I was already mad and resting my case to my brother. That made me more mad about myself and that all this is on me now. Tuesday came and I still haven't talked to my brother since Sunday. That day I went to have lunch with some close friends (Michael and Daniel) but all I heard was that I shouldn't have yell at her while I thought they would understand my point of view. That day I felt like I was on this alone. I then went to hang out with my close friend, Trung's house to hang out with him and my other close friend Rudy. That night they just wanted to cheer me up so we went to seaside. Wednesday came and I carpool with my niece that is only 10 days younger than me and knowing her, I thought she would be the second person (behind my other older brother Chris) to understand my point of view, but I did not get anything from her but just the same thing as everyone else gave me. That night, my other niece Tiffany came over and I told her what had happen and finally I got someone to understand me and she spend the whole night with me to comfort me because I just felt like this is on me. That same night before Tiffany came over, the one thing that made me feel like shit was that my mom told me that I should go say sorry, but while I refuse to, my mom then said, "Are you happy that they broke up now?" All I could think is that everyone still think this is still my fault and that made me fell like I have no one to talk to. Thursday came and still no conversation with my brother. We usually play ball everyday so when I ask if he wanted to play ball, he ignore me and just left to go exercise without telling me anything. He does not have to, but in this situation, he should because I ask if he wanted to in the first place. Back to reality, I am just sitting in my room thinking about what should I do, no one to talk to. Thanks to those who understands my point of view. Any tips?? No links today!!

Bye-bye Bird

Yesterday at around 3 PM my mom walked in the back to check up on the birds. She quickly called my sister to the back to tell her that one of the birds had died. My sister quickly called me to help her clean up the dead bird. I was so freaked out that I had to call my brother Mike, Chris, Bryant, and my sister Michelle to come and help me. The first thing we tried to do was to get the three birds that were still alive into a smaller cage. The first thing we tried to do was to poke the birds with stick to try to get them into the smaller cage. Our technique did not work so we tried to lure them in by leading them in with food. When the birds saw the food they were attacking each other to see who gets to enter the cage first. The way they were fighting to see who gets in first helped us realized that the three birds teamed up to kill the dead bird.
After we were done transferring the birds over, we had to clean up the carcass. Then we said our goodbyes which was the toughest part of the day. You will always be remembered, Beaverjr.

Family Night

Today I went to my cousin Kelly's house. She's 10 days younger than me and she goes to Long Beach with me. We carpool together on Mondays and sometimes Wednesdays. My brothers, sister, and our cousins all came and we played games and just hung out. We played Scategories for a bit and it was fun because we have a really loud family. We get in trouble for being too loud at night but we all think it's kinda funny. We also went to Taco Bell since they have 88cents Crunchwrap Supremes. We forgot to get Kelly one though because we are evil >:) Just kidding. But she was sad we didn't get her one. I am now playing poker on my phone while everyone else is playing Scategories. This stupid person stole my money... Lol, but yeah. I haven't really hung out with Kelly because she doesn't come over often but it's always nice to spend time with her. My cousin Tiff also came with us. Me, Tiff, Kelly, and my brother Chris have a group called TBCK. We're all around the same age and we used to hang out all the time together. We were the ultimate quad! We don't hang out together as much anymore but it's always fun when we're together. Overall it was a good night with the family once again. I love my family.
