Art Project of Course

Yesterday Josh asked me to be a part of his art project but it is due today. Typical Josh -_-
He wanted to interview about nine people. I'm not sure what his project is about but he told me he was going to ask me what my favorite artist is. I'm not really sure who is my favorite artist or if I even have one. I'm not really the artsy type. Anywho he didn't interview me. He already interviewed some of his friends so he thought it was enough for his project. oh well. I'll probably ask him what his project was about specifically. It's funny because he is always late to this particular class. I try to get to get there on time but he always leave the same time his class is starting. And he says he is an Artist...

One of those mornings!

Yes! It was one of those mornings where things just don't seem to going right yesterday. The night before I told Jen that I needed to leave with her the next morning (she leaves at 6:30am to catch the bus) and thus to wake me up when she wakes up. AND DOES SHE?! NOOO! Now in my family I'm kind of the slowest one to get ready. And Jen in the morning is sort of weird with her timing. If she's a few minutes late she starts freaking out. So the next morning se for got to wake me up. I woke up like 30 mins before she going to leave. Now yes to some this seems like a decent amount of time but really I take an hour to get ready ( yea I know forever) so I was kind of agitated that she didn't wake me up. Then when I get down stairs she has the nerve to ask "Are you ready?" WHATTTTT!!! So now I'm rushing to meet her schedule. After all that rushing she leaves me. I was so angry. I asked for one little favor and then she leaves me. Oh man, I stop rushing made myself breakfast and when I calmed down headed for the bus stop. What do you know, I still caught the same bus she did.
Stay tune for more :)
 P.s: sorry for the mini hiatus loads of projects to get done!

LATE!

I was late to class yesterday because a friend of mine asked me too be apart of a project for her photography class. It was quite an experience, I've never done a photo shoot before. She asked a couple of us to participate. I forgot how much I hate to get my photo taken so it kind of brought me out of my shell. She asked for me to wear a black dress and red lipstick. I think my friend is going to give everyone copies I believe. Stay tune for more ;)

P.S: Happy Friday ^_^

Bed Time

Last night instead of talking to my brother, I was with my sister. She had a rough draft of a paper due in her english class today and she was freaking out. Why, I really don't know. Well I kind of due. She said she wanted her rough draft to be good so during the weekend she can just fix a few things.  Isn't that so smart? The thinks my siblings come up with. Last weekend I also had an outline due for my research paper and I was freaking out. I really wanted it to be good because I really like the topic I chose. It's about a group named Situationist International in the late 50's early 60's in France. They believe that our consumer society weaken our way of living authentically. And to gain back that way of living people needed to do spontaneous things, go outside their normal routine because situationists also believed people are creators of situations. Stay tune for more ;)

P.S: I have a rough draft due next Wednesday

Video games

I have I ever said that my brother loves to play video games? That's all he needs, his video games, a sketch book, pencil, and some food and he will be good all day. I mention this today because earlier we were watching this segment on TV called Most famous 100 video games of all time? (Something along those lines) Josh and I were already set out to go somewhere but he was glued to the TV after that. We watched it for almost to hours (got ready for nothing) And he said, "I don't want to go anymore, I'm watch this." WHAT! We were going to go out and eat... he was practically dragged out of the house (just kidding, his hunger got the best of him) Right now Josh is trying to get Mike to play Silent Hill: Downpour because Josh thinks Mike's reactions are funny (Cruel!) My brother can go for days describing the Silent hill game series but that is for another post. Stay tune for more ;)

P.S: For those you who've never heard of the Silent Hill games series, all you need to know is that they are psychologically scary. Especially the first three!

Mini Ipad

For Christmas my family gave me an Ipad mini which sadly I hardly use. I think if I had a cover for it, my Ipad  would come out to play once in a while. (Really bad with technology). I remember before Christmas my mom wanted some Ipad and I would tell her, "NO! Don't conform to this Ipad revolution!" Then I got one. Talk about being a hypocrite. I knew that if I didn't use it my mom would feel bad. Now I'm in the works of getting it a cover. But I think I want to make my own. We will see what happens. Stay tune for more ;)

Movies Anyone

Don't you hate when you have work to do but all you're doing is sitting on the couch and watching movies. Guilty as charge that's what I' m doing. This is when my brother's words ring in my ear, "Procrastination is the thief  of time" I don' t want to do anything! Jen on the other hand was telling me this morning about how she too spent the day watching movies. "It was so relaxing, I haven't had a day like that in a long time." I wish I could say that! Stay tune for more ;)

A little Trivia

I was sitting with Jen tonight because I made her fill out something for me. At the same time I was posting the blog you saw earlier and I just remembered something I had forgotten a long time ago. Jen's middle name is Clarise because our mom said when Jen was born she remind my mom of Clarissa. Thinking back now, when I was younger, my mom would tell me how we were born and talk about how Jen use to look like Clarissa. I use to think (this is the mind of a 8 yr. old) that God took Clarissa but changed his mind and that's how Jen was born. SO to me Jen was Clarissa ( Trippin man! how confused was I?) I have no idea how I came to think that. I just did. Now I know Jen is Jen and Clarissa is Clarissa. Tomorrow my mom and I are going to bring her flowers for her birthday :) Jen is bummed because she can't go (has class) and so does Josh.
They will come another time soon ;)

We have another Birthday!

I hardly mention this to anyone but we do have another sister. Her name is Clarissa. She is not part of the triplets. She is actually a year older than us. She would have been 21 tomorrow. But she passed much sooner than expected. I did not get to meet her because she passed before I was born. Sometimes I like to imagine what she's up to in this time (PARTY) or if she was still alive what would our household be like. I feel like as we grow older, she also is growing older.

Happy Birthday Clarissa! :)

My brother again

I forgot to mention, Josh all most made me late! Last night we were having another late night talk at the dinner table. He was trying to work on some art project he had due in the moring and I was trying to finish my story I told you about earlier (I finished it! Not the best though...) So eventually I went to bed late. But I had to get up early this moring to get ready for an appointment I had. Both Josh and I agreed to wake up at 6am so we can leave at 9 with me serving as the alarm clock. (Josh never gets up) That leaves 3 hours for Josh to finish his project and get ready for school and me to finish up sme errands and get ready of school too. Plenty of time right? Not for Josh at 9 o clock he was still trying finish his project and I had to leave on time because when riding the bus it's safe to catch it an hour before the time you are suppose to be where ever you are going to give you time. (The buses take forever!) I had to leave Josh there. I told him, "I'm sorry I have to go!" He was okay with it and apologized for taking long (Such a nice brother ^-^) I made it on time for my appointment. Josh I really do not know when he came (his class starts at 9:45). Stay tune for more! ;)

The point of having a cell phone...

For those of us who have cellphones we've all heard someone point out to us that the reason for having a cell phone in the first place is for emergencies (Thanks mom and dad -_-) Most of the time I say, "I'm sorry for not picking up." Many times over though my mom likes to say," You know, I could be dying on the freeway and nobody will know because you guys don't pick up your stupid cell phone!" (And she calls me dramatic? >.<) It's true I know that can happen, but most of the time I'm hoping that it is not the case. Out of my siblings I'm the one who most of the time does not have my cell phone on me. (I hate carrying it around sometimes) Jen on the other hand is glued to her phone constantly. She gets so annoyed when it's one of us calling her because she says, "It's a waste of my battery." Just to annoy her some more I purposely call her for no reason. (How mean am I...) Really that just agitates me when she says that. Texting people takes up time in my opinion. I bring up this topic because I was trying to call Jen or Josh ealier but of course they don't answer their phones. I bought myself lunch wanted to split it up for one of them in case they were hungry.( Jen is staying until 5 and Josh has class at 7 to 10pm) Since none of them answered I guess I'll just have to finish my meal. (Probably just give it to Josh...) Please stay tune ;)

P.S: Always answer your phones, it can be important!

In other News

I know I just post something a few minutes ago but I wanted to include this too. As always Josh shows me a lot of things that are on the internet aka tumblr -_- I was trying to work on my essay when Josh came down and said, "Alex showed me a song that reminded me of you." Alex is the girl my bro is talking to right now and I particularly don't like Alex because I don't think she is right for Josh. I guess it's a sister thing, but anywho when he told me this I made a puzzling face like "Wah?" Josh told me it was about spiders and the first thing that popped into my head was spiders being squished! (I have a soft spot for insects especially spiders. I'll explain another day) Or I think this video will show you why I do. The video is cool but kinda odd. Please enjoy! Stay tune for more ;)

Brother where art thou?

I'm having such a difficult time trying to come up with a short story for my English class. AT first I was excited but now I regret choosing this topic! But I have to stick with it -_- I was telling Josh this and asking if he could help me. He said I was making this assignment to hard on myself (easy for boy genius to say!) And he told me about this thing called Pixar's 22 rule of storytelling. I read through all the rules and even though I thought of issues I had with this topic, these 22 rules helped get through the rough patch I was in (kind of...) At first my story was going to be about the circus but I couldn't come up with anything after that now I think my story is going to be about getting out of our daily routine? I don't know really----> back to square one! >.< Wish me luck! I'll leave the link to the rules at the bottom :) As always stay tune for more ;)

Found it!

I finally found a song I've been looking for well for a while! I heard it once in a dance class I was taking. I really love the message it sends! Simple and to the point! The song was written by Eden Ahbez in 1947 and many artist since then have covered it. I like this version personally ^-^ I'll put the link down at the bottom. Please enjoy! Stay tune ;)

I have NO idea...

So I was with my brother and we were having one of our late night talks at the dinner table (MAN I was really craving some chilly cheese fries) when he wanted to show me something. Most of the time I don't get my work done when I'm talk with my brother ( I had to get up early next morning to start and finish an essay I had to do -_-) He wanted to show me this band I guess he likes? I was not expecting what I saw. It was different and I had no idea what was going on. The band is called Studio Killers. It's a virtual band and fronted by the girl you are going to see but in reality her voice is a guy singing. I forgot his name though. I'll find out from my bro later. The music is cool and the videos are trippy. I can't get this song out of my head thanks to Josh >.<

P.S: I like this song and another song by them called "All Men Are Pigs" Sorry gents no offense to you! It's a funny song ;)

I present to you!

I might have mentioned it before, I'm not sure though... I'm planning to interview my friend Cynthia who is also a triplet. I met her during winter session. We had speech together :)  I'm so excited! I'm not sure what question to ask her though...I was thinking about questions to ask her while I was on my way home but I couldn't come up with any. Then I thought to myself what kind of questions would be asked of me. But then I also thought she probably gets the same questions I get so that's going to be a little boring for her. I need some new and exciting questions but what to ask...what to ask...hmmm. I'll come with a few. I was think of using some of same questions I'm planning to ask in my other interview which has not been conducted. The reason for that is because my neighbor is pretty busy so I had told him whenever he has time to contact me instead (This makes things easier for the both us!) I hope both these interviews happen! It will be quite an accomplishment for my blog! Hoping for more pictures too!

Such a Bad Sister!

My brother calls me on the phone to tell me what he learned in class today. Usually we do this when it's something that really speaks to us. And of course it was about school itself  ^-^ He was telling me about how GED classes are in a way a waste of time and his professor reinforced his idea too. I guess in class they started talking about how companies wanted to turn college classes into just being class online so more money can be made? Honestly I couldn't keep up with him because I was trying to listen t him and at the same time do another task. (I learned I can't do both! >.<) I missed half if what he was saying. And I feel so bad because a couple days ago he was telling me about how he feels his voice is not being heard and now I'm actually not listening to him. What an awful sister I am. Most if the time when Josh speaks, it's like words of the wise come out from him. I've ranted about this before. I need to start breaking the bad habits of a bad listener and make for a good listener!

P.S: As I write this my brother is waiting at the bus stop at school to get home! >.<

Paying It Forward

As I was walking to the bus stop today, a friend of mine stopped me and handed me a strip of paper. Lo and behold it was a transfer for the bus. When taking the bus one either pays the fee if taking one bus or pays the fee and a little more (usually 50 cents) to receive a transfer which allows you to ride another bus once your get off the first one. A few days before I was handing out bus passes because my friend had some extras and she didn't want them to go to waste for they were going to expire. When I was waiting for the bus I handed out these bus passes to random people. One of those random people happen to be my friend. He really appreciated that I gave him one. So today he handed me a transfer which acts like a bus pass. That made my day ;)  Shout out to Josh my occasional bus buddy!

P.S: Tranfers come in different colors and the one my friend gave me was PURPLE! My favorite color...

Song Of Choice

Jen was showing me a song she liked a couple nights ago when I came upon this song. She was showing me this song called Spectrum by Zedd ft. Matthew Koma and it was cool. I like Koma's voice. Then Jen went up stairs. I browsed through want youtube recommended me afterwards when I saw a remix of Florence and The Machine's Spectrum by Calvin Harris. It was amazing. I think I like both the orginal and the remix. Florence's voice is just so...I have no words to describe it. Today Jen was playing that song and said she like the song too. We don't have similar taste in music but there are times when we overlap. I'm going to put the link down below for anyone who has not heard this version of Spectrum. Please listen to it!  Normally I really like the original over the remix but I have to say the remix is awesome. I have strong beliefs that it's due to Florence's powerful voice.
Stay tune for more ;)

P.S I really like the font and style of the words. That's what also attracted me to the remix. It reminded me of the 1920s and low and behold this song is going to be featured in the upcoming movie The Great Gatsby.

Josh never seize to AMAZE

My brother always says such mind bending things. Where does he get these thoughts? My theory is, he is just ahead of his generation. I'm not sure though. Yesterday we were having one of our late night discussions when he said, "I hate when I procrastinate. Procrastination is the thief of time." I just said to myself, "What the heck?!" And asked him, "where do you come up with these things? I mean really... some of the things you say are just epic." (Just shaking my head.) He said he didn't know but I have a little inkling of where some of his thoughts come from. He is always on Tumblr. Even though I don't have a Tumblr I know what it is. My brother is always showing me things on Tumblr. And sometimes Tumblr has some epic things to say and that is where my brother gets his inspiration for his way of thinking I guess? We were talking about how when on the computer, it is not the same thing as talking to someone in person. It was sort of like deja vu because I remember talking about the same thing in my english class. So I told Josh that even though he helps a lot of his friends online, I think he should send some time alway fro the computer. Guess what he was already two steps ahead of me. He said to me, " Yeah I was also thinking the same thing, I planning to go on the computer for about two weeks just so I can get some fresh air. What a lovely idea.
Stay tune ;)

P.S: Can anyone believe it is already May? How time flies...

Let's play fate: Another experience on the bus

When one rides the bus, they encounter many different people on the bus as I've mentioned before. As a daily bus rider,  I've had my fair share of connecting different people. One Wednesday night as I was on my way home I encountered such a person. I really appreciate it when its semi-crowded on a bus and someone moves their backpack or purse to let another sit down. (Random Acts or Kindness!) Well this happen to me, this person moved his backpack so I can sit down. (Rarely does a guy do that, where has chivalry gone? Discussion for another time!) As we were riding the bus together, we started talking about different things, from school, to ethnicities, to Sacramento, to colors of the sky, to geology. It was a very nice connection that we had. We said our goodbyes and that was that. Then I started wondering if I'd see him again (Such a hopeless romantic...yuck). I'm not sure if I will or not but it'd be nice if I did. But I'm going to leave it to fate. If it's in my future that I will see him again then I will, if it's not then I don't see him again, simple as that. I believe in fate but to a certain degree. Playing fate all the time is not a good thing. I think I only do it when I meet people by chance. Isn't it funny how that happens? I'm going off into a tangent now so I'm going to stop myself!
Stay tune for more! ;)
