Welp, Guess I am Full of Irony
Apparently, I am procrastinating on this English essay on the Scarlet Letter, since I am typing up this blog right now.
In other news that doesn't involve me dying to English, I am also devoting my time to Neon Genesis Evangelion. If you haven't watched it yet, it's basically a mecha anime that instead of focusing on action it deconstructs the whole genre by focusing on the psychological aspects of its characters. Instead of the main character developing and improving as the series progresses, his depression further continues as the plot reaches its climax. The original series is a bit unpolished without a real ending to the story. However the second movie gives the series a true ending that can be either significant or unwanted depending on one's preference. Overall the story itself is really good conceptually but the unpolished last two episodes bring down the show.
Back to school events now, friends and I made a Computer Club "to promote interest into usage of computer technology for the student body." In other words, my friends and I are bored and wants a club where we don't do much like most other clubs at school. The only major thing we are doing is making a movie and selling copies of it for club fair. It is going to be the "movie that's so bad it's good".
On another subject, I need to see my pal's friend. She looks cute in a way reminiscing a certain someone else. I did talk with her once awhile ago by accident, but I wanna see her in real life :3. Yeah I'm Creepy Like That LOL.

I am the Laziest and Most Undedicated Person Alive
Apparently I forgot about this blog and/or I was too lazy to continue making more blog posts over the preceding year. I have been active and passive in my activities in that same year meanwhile I still do the same kind of hobbies as before. Well I should review what I actually did do so far. . . .
School Related
Well I am a complete failure as I could not getting an A for semester for AP Bio, instead my teacher decided to be a jerk and leave my semester grade at 89% instead of easily letting me do some kind of extra credit to bump it to 90%. Alas, what's done is done in that matter.At least I passed both my AP Exams with the smallest amount of preparations for both the AP Bio and AP World History Exam. I scored a 3 on both of them which is decent for AP World but dissatisfying for AP Bio (I thought I would get a 4 there but my penmanship is horrible to any cursed reader).
The Summer
I also took Stats class over the summer because of a certain Chinese boy who "forced" me to attend summer school with him because of his strict mother. I also had another friend who coincidentally joined the class too so it wasn't so bad. The teacher though Mr. Ramsey seriously reminded me of Morgan Freeman with his lectures, and that guy is really cool for a math teacher in my opinion. It was actually my first experience in a college class (even though it's just community college) so it was really fulfilling and relaxing. It also prepared me for AP Stats this upcoming year.I am not the biggest nerd though as I had other past times to attend to during that time. For something that matters, I volunteered at the library to get my ready for "commitment", and I finally got back into something I have been neglecting for a couple years, Anime. Oh my goodness, the emotion, the presentation, and the value of anime came back to me in some of the shows I've been watching like "Shingeki no Kyojin" (Attack on Titan) or "The World God only Knows". There's still so much variety as there was in the past that it felt so natural today. Other than that, I also got into Asian live concerts which still baffles me on how good the music still is when live (most "live" music is terrible as most Western artists use that autotune device in my opinion). I was even grinding elo on League of Legends and I am now Plat ranked :D.
Of course I did do my AP Lang and APUSH homework too because I am the biggest nerdy acorn alive.
Recently
Well it is the beginning of the school year and the classes I am taking for my 11th grade year: AP Lang, AP Stats, Acapella (or Choir), Calculus AB, AP US History, and Physics Honors (my schedule goes in that order). If you were me, then your mom would've killed you by now, because my mom has been nagging to me over how I am basically killing myself XD. What will happen in this year? It seems to me that this year is the random point in my life because I have much to worry about studies-wise (SATs, AP courses etc), but I am currently 16 with social worries too (friends, teachers, romance etc) that I always feel (to be corny) butterflies in my stomach every waking day.
SNOCA (Stuff No One Cares About)
Well I have to come to terms with who I love sooner or later. Or better yet, how to overcome my shyness with many people. I reawakened to these memories at the movie theater. I was going to watch "Lee Daniels' The Butler" (which was really well-done and emotional) with my parents but the movie was going through technical difficulties so I had to go home to my dismay. What added to that dismay was this girl who I assumed to be Half-Asian and Half White (Judging by her parents beside her). In my eyes, she looked beautiful and I wanted to at least try to talk to her, but both our parents were there so it would be really embarrassing to even attempt the deed. The worst part was that we even shared a glance at each other which cringes my heart in "what could have been". Alas, I guess this is the point where I will go into a metamorphic state and blossom into something new and mature. I have to develop the ability to freely speak on my own will. Here is my problem: if someone speaks to me, I will talk to them fine without any hesitance or fear; however I can not initiate the conversation myself.
And Lastly. . .
Also, maybe if this will help my dedication to this basically dead blog: please comment on this blog to give me the impression I am not wasting my time :). It can be about anything: questions, advice, comments etc.

Return of My 1 Month Hiatus
Wow, its been so long since I posted up something on this blog. I thought I'll stick with this to the very end but I guess I really am busy from school. What has been going on so far?
I recently started playing Persona 4 which is phenomenal. Seriously it is that good. Way better than Persona 3 for tons of reasons. The story is much better and emotional, the music is even catchier, and the gameplay has been improved so much. I love this game to death.
The Little Busters anime just came out with three episodes so far. And to my relief, it isn't bad by any means that everyone in forums were basically anticipating it to be as JC staff was animating it. My thoughts on it so far is that it seems to be looking up to be at best phenomenal or at worst decent. The animation is pretty good and the music they used was pretty good but I kinda wished there would be more remixes other than the opening song.
In my life at school, I recently met a newcomer to my school and interacting with her is like making a new slate for myself to other people. Normally in highschool I am known by the veterans here as shy and usually quiet with a hint of compassion. With her, I can try to be someone different without being acted down by what others know me as. I'm not even sure but I might even like her too. However only time can tell so far.
Oh yeah, been playing League of Legends a lot more and I got very good at it now. Kbai

Beginning of Sophomore and MY EXISTENCE
Welcome to the beginning of my rambling all around highschool where I just mess around and do random topics with no respect to grammar (maybe a little). If you are offended by what I say, then get used to it like everyone else at school. Before you leave already, this is just a test on making a blog about this 15 year old Vietnamese kid. Guess what can happen in the future *wink*wink*. Even with this low count of 0, hopefully more people can read my stuff because I love interaction with people but I hate messing up and embarrassing myself in front of others. Its kind of contradictory I know but get used to that too.
Currently, I'm re-reading the Naruto manga to get back into the gear of things where I'm very surprised at how good it is compared to how I remember it. I'm also awaiting that Little Busters anime which is making me go all kawaii over it XD. I'm also playing Persona 3 FES and Portable right now to just kill time while also simultaneously playing LoL with my friends to also kill time. The only game that I'm playing vigorously is probably Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance but that's about it. Hopefully these blogs will get longer so. . . Hasta Luego!!!! (Guess what Language class I'm taken?)
