I apologize for the neglect of this blog, I've really been caught up in more important things like re-discovering ancient Xangas :p
So whats new? Not much really if you set aside the fact that I'm now a college kid. I feel sorry for people who think high school is difficult because in comparison to college, HS is nothing.
In reality, folks, my life has once again been dominated by MapleStory. The Big Bang event recently took place, and along with it emerged the Resistance class. Here's my track record so far.
Bowman - Yonsai [54]
Thief - xShokubeni [77]
Mage - Gaitoyan [retired]
Warrior - MrKea [mule]
Pirate - N/A
Aran - Yureiaa [109]
Evan - N/A
Dual Blade - xKamijo [34]
Wild Hunter - Espelen [82]

[Late] Happy 2010!
Hey everyone, it's the new year (and 3 months late, at that! Shame on me)!
Let me start off by first saying, Happy 2010, and it is the final year in High school for the Silver Wolves!
Chee hee~
In any case, as far as updates, nothing much as changed. In a few short weeks, I become 18, and prom is not far from there either. Currently struggling to find a limo... and people to come and help pay for it D:
As far as colleges, I've pretty much set off universities aside, and decided that I'm going to take the LCC step first, to take care of my liberals. Who knows, I may discover something new, non-music related. But lets hope that doesn't happen.
Senior year is flowing smoothly. I've managed to shove off Senioritis to some other poor sap, and I'm doing well in classes. I still have AP Literature, but my new classes include Ensembles with Mathakul, Global Studies with Chun, and Japanese III with dear `ol sensei :D The only class I'm disappointed in is Japanese III... I have a B. Unacceptable with my record so far (you know, the 'never drop below a 4.0 in Japanese' record... yeah). Gotta bring it up. Screw you, kanji, for screwing my grade!
On a lower note of my personal life, I've revived YET AGAIN on MapleStory for the Celebration of the Aran Arrival. In the spirit of it all, I created an Aran named Yureiaa, thinking I'd just abandon her for Shoku. I was wrong. (: Shoku is currently 68, almost 69, while Yureiaa, approximately a couple months old, is 56. She has her wolf mount and everything. Let me tell you... Aran is addicting. O__e
That's all.
Hopefully I remember to update more often.

Watashi wa Nihongo Kurasu de...
..asagohan ni COLD SPAM MUSUBI o tabemasu. ;D
I'm in sensei's class for second period since General Test Prep course is boring and the calc class in there is testing. Might as well hang out with one of the coolest teachers I know, right? ;)
Oh, and...
I'm sure you all know this already, but for the sake of documenting:
I'm not sure how long ago, perhaps just a couple weeks:
Waianae: 21
Campbell: 0
And last week Friday:
Mililani: 35
Campbell: 14
I can admit that the Sabers have been sucking lately, but I'd never give up my hope for the next games. Next up is Leilehua, and I'm rooting for our Sabers to SPANK them. >:)
I'm currently filling out my application for Holy Names University in California, and requesting my transcripts to be printed from the College/Career Counselor's office. And, in defense of myself (although I don't need to), I'm thinking of all the loves of my life in this decision. I'd be 3 hours apart from home and 3 hours apart from where I really want to be: Boston. I'm compensating to the best of my abilities. But hey, we'll see what happens. I have a few more months before things get really crazy.

Long Time No See, Kittens
I can't recall the last time I updated my Blogger, but I'm confident it's way overdue. How is life, you ask? Why, life is interesting - yes, interesting; the only word that could somewhat capsulate what it's truly been like.
So much has changed over the last few months - or year; again, not sure when the last update was - and these situational changes have, in turn, become personal changed within myself.
Band has most definitely made it's share of changes within the last several months. Let me elaborate: the direction of the band has been turned over to a man named Mathakul (not his full last name, mind you; I'll save you the seizure of pronouncing the rest of it), who at first made us returnees quite pessimistic, but proved to be an excellent director. I'm not sure about everyone else, but he inspires me to continue with music in college; much more than Kea did (not to say that Kea wasn't an inspiration to me; all directors inspired me one way or another).
One of the more obvious updates in my life is that as of three weeks ago, I officially became a Senior at school. Although powerful that title, along with it comes plenty of responsibilities that, in order to be successful and set for post-high school, MUST be taken care of immediately. And that's my challenge. Aside from the high school demands, I'm also, as of now, struggling to find a job to pay for my Europe trip in the summer.
This year will most definitely be a challenge.
I'm sure I'll get through, though. :)
Until next time... ♥

April Updates
Hey guys, sorry it's been months since my last real update. I've been thinking about lots of things, and just never found time to put it up on here.
So here's the layout:
I turned 17 and am beginning to drive, basically. Typical teen stuff, yes I know. I ended up going to the All-American Rejects concert again, which was cool, followed by the Journey concert, which tops AAR any day. AP English course is almost over, as is the rest of my junior year. I realized that certain friends aren't really what they say they are, and I've been relieved of baby-sitting a 22-year-old (finally!). I still maple, that's for sure (lol). AP exam and SATs are coming up, so I've been studying for that. Hm, and I've also been selected to go to Europe by the Hawaii All-State Marching Band coordinator on the Ambassador's Trip. I'm so excited! ^___^ My second band trip~! <3 <3 <3
That's all for now.

The Return
Hello everybody, I am back from... well, being away. Hehe.
It's terrible how I had abandoned this blog for a bit, I know. I apologize.
Here, let me fill you in on what's been going on.
So the Hawaii All-State Marching Band trip began on Christmas and ended nine days afterwards. We stayed at Knotts Berry Farm Resort Hotel, which was, as Rosie puts it, "the. bomb!" Lol. Students were prohibited from using elevators and were directed to the stairs while accompanying guests were allowed to use those... contraptions... ._. In the long-run, it was good for us. Strengthened our leg muscles and helped build our endurance. I imagine guests gained weight on those elevators after breakfast while we all burned it off. :)
Bandfest was only two days after we arrived, which was AMAZING. Songs performed include Tahiti-Tahiti, Bula "Drums of the Island", I'll Remember You, Pate-Pate, and Hawaii Five-O. The neat thing about Hawaii Five-O was that Payton, the director, would count off "One two three," and scream "ROCK!" at the end and we'd all do the Twist. :) I have videos of it. I should show you. I'm currently in the process of ordering the DVD.
After that was the parade. Well, not immediately after, but several days following was the Big Day. We were in the middle of the Marine band, one of the best in the nation, and the USC marching band. (YEAH GO USC! ^__^y) That tells me we had to live up to some pretty big expectations. And we did. <3 Go HASMB! Well, the parade was only two hours which wasn't so bad. We ended up marching in some major horse shit. No seriously, we stepped in horse crap a lot. A lot a lot. Lol. Good fun!
My trip, overall, was a big bundle of fun. Got to go to theme parks and Medieval Times... Oh, all those trips to those places deserve a paragraph! Urgh, too lazy. Oh well, I'm sure you don't want to know EVERYTHING. ^___^ Well, I ended up befriending majority of my section and some others when I was a filler for missing trumpets and saxes. Namedrop: Russell, Jasmine, Ama, Rachel, Megan, Mike, Kim, Alena, and Christina. Not to mention closer bonding with Karllyn, Kiana, Dorian, Tony, and Robert. :)
I've been back for a while already. School started up yesterday, and already I can tell this semester is going to be the shit. I have photography, algebra II, Japanese I, and, of course, AP English/Advisory. Good fun! Wish me luck in math, BECAUSE I HAVE MRS. BREEZE. ;)
