satisfaction

long time no post! i've been meaning to post a blog lately, but i 've never really gotten to it. christimas business much?

sooo, grades came in yesterday. i was pretty satisfied, especially with my biology grade that i rose.
English: B, PE: A-, Spanish: A-, Biology: B-, Geometry: B, Cultural History: A-
i lost some As, gained some Bs, lost a D. it's the effort that counts right?

i've been setting my goals for 2008, i've already got many ideas that makes me look forward to the year. christmas is almost here. confirmation made me realize the importance of christmas, and how people really have forgotten it's true meanings. the presents are becoming a big distraction, have we even set aside some time from shopping to give time for God, and Jesus? it's his birthday, and it comes only once a year!

hmmm, so today afterschool i went with Gian, Rozelle, Jerremy, and Vincent to some warehouse where a lot of people volunteered for the giving tree. my main purpose in going was to get community service for an hour for being absent from confirmation 'cause of camp. when we got there, we had to register and printed out nametags, watched an instruction video in some isolated room like we were about to go on a ride, and then got instructed on what to do and got started! it was kinda confusing at first, but got the hang of it. i began to realize how generous this company was, if i had to guess how many toys they were giving as presents, i'd guess like 1000. and it was great how the workers offered great support and help and smiles, instead of those people you expect to be total beezies. afterwards, went to greatmall to finish last minute shopping then ate at sendai. totally felt like a typical friday yfc night, except it was only wednesday. kinda makes me look forward to these days during winterbreak.

so, my parents are planning to go to las vegas after christmas and to be back before new years. i kinda wanna go, to get away from all this stress for awhile, but unfortunately none of my sisters are going :( if i go, i'm going to be the only child and i've never got on vacation without a sibling! what will a person of my age do on her own in las vegas? so i'm kind of doubting on going. it's making me feel like my childhood is over, my memories are really distant, but the past is the past, it's reality. i have nothing to do but to keep walking on. life moves on.

i'm really scared for finals, not sure why. i've never experienced one yet so i guess that's why. it's so cold and the weather is so LOCO! i'm out, byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D
