I'm Sorry ; n ;

I feel so horrible for totally ignoring the blog this past month. Having no internet at home is probably the biggest factor. That, and my family had to move.

I've been telling everyone that the house we were living at, it just wasn't working out so we decided to move.

I'm not going to lie to you guys.

We were evicted.

My father hasn't had a steady job for a while now, so we weren't able to pay rent for a few months(we were living in a rental house). The landlord told us "Oh, it's ok, give me the rent when you get it." So we thought we had time.

Four days before Christmas we were told that if we don't give him $1800 in three days, we were to be kicked out. Well, due to the law, we were to be given 30 days. Within that 30 days we got the money.

Our landlord denied the payment.

We had 10 days to leave.

And entire house to be cleaned out in only 10 days.

As you could probably guess, the stress in the house was over the top. Thankfully, our awesome church family helped as much as they can. They even provided us a house! It's a small house that they originally bought to make into a halfway house, but after the first residents were caught selling dope out of it they decided to use it only if a church member needed it. And so, we are living in this small but adorable house that we don't have to pay for for a while.

Oh, and now we have internet (I started writing this when we didn't have any internet) so expect more from me.

Also, expect another blog, maybe even a vlog, from me soon~ It's going to be about a youth conference I attended with my youth group on February 8th and 9th

Hai-hai, my wonderful cream puffs~!!

So I've decided to try something new and create a video blogpost instead of a written one.

Let's see how it goes since it's unedited and stuff ._. 

♪─── hello hello ────♪

Mika-kitsune nya~ ♥

Hai-hai, my lovely snow angels~! It's been quite some time since my last post. About two months I believe~ Did you miss me? :3 Well, I missed you! I missed blogging, but I just couldn't find the time to do it. I've been so busy with all my after-school activities and research papers and competition projects, etc etc. But you don't want to hear me complain about my life~ ^O^ So here are all the good things that have happened: (1) I got an animal pajama sent from my granny in Korea~!! Isn't it super adorable?! I love it so much! >O< Even though I wouldn't wear it to sleep, I like wearing it around the house because it is super duper comfortable~ *O* (2) My hair is slowly but surely growing out, right now it's at about the very tops of my shoulders. Compared to how short it was when I first cut it, it's grown about 2 and a half inches! (3) In my engineering class, we had to build a bridge out of one sheet of paper and one meter of tape. The minimum weight it had to hold was one textbook, but I got mine to hold SEVEN~!!! BOOM! LIKE A BAUSSS~ *O* I'm so pro at life. pfft, just kidding just kidding. But seriously! SEVEN! (4) I just finished midterms last week!! Of course, I don't think I did very well because I feel that I didn't study enough for them, but that's my fault for procrastinating and getting distracted. le sigh~ I really can't control my anime and manga and RPG addiction. >O< It's way too hard! I've been getting back on Eden Eternal every now and then. In fact, today I finally got my Magician to level 30 and I am now an Illusionist~!! YAY! Now I'm just working on getting my Character to level 50 and my Bard to level 45 so I can become a Blade Dancer. Anyways, getting back on topic, my midterm grades are not up yet, but I'm really hoping that I got at least a 90 on most of them. Anything lower would kill my grades and GPA, not that my GPA is any good. In fact, my GPA SUCKS. But I'm not here to complain about my life. If my GPA sucks, it's because I haven't been putting in effort to work hard enough to get the grades I want. You can't have you want unless you work for it. (5) I've found a new gaming system that I really want! It's called the PS Vita and it's like a super duper, pumped-up-on-steroids, version of the original PSP (PlayStation Portable). The graphics are wonderful, the system is awesome, there are TWO joysticks, it's a touch screen, and the game selection is fantastic because you can download old PSP games onto the PS Vita! The only downside is that it is super expensive! The gaming system itself is about $250.00, but what sucks is that because it's manufactured by Sony, you need to buy the Sony brand memory card specifically made for the PS Vita in order to do anything at all with it. You can't do anything with the PS Vita until you get a memory card. But the memory cards are super expensive. the 32GB one is $100.00, the 16GB is $60.00, the 8GB is $40.00, and the 4GB is $20.00. If I get the PS Vita, I'm going to buy the 32GB because there are so many games that I want to play, and I'd much rather have excess memory space rather than too little! Because if there's too little, you'll need to delete games and apps in order to make room for new ones, or just buy another card entirely and that's just ridiculous. The 32GB should be sufficient enough for all the games I want (there are about 8 or so). According to the gaming nerds on the world wide web, the 16 GB is enough to hold 4 to 5 games plus apps and photos and music. So it's not bad, I'm just really zealous about gaming ^^;;
Anyways, that's about all for now I guess. I'm feeling really worried and anxious about my school grades and preparing for SAT IIs in May/June, but besides that I'm okay. But I really should get working on my papers and competition projects. So I guess this is it for now ^O^ Bai-bai~

APC Shirt Design.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨

It's that time of the year again when we have to submit our T-shirt designs for the upcoming show in April :) Sadly last year Laura and my co-design did not get picked, probably cause it was too cute, which wouldn't appeal to the guys and too much ink...Le sigh* But this year we're sending in four to have the APC members vote, so hopefully one of them will get picked~ The only bad thing is the scattered votes we have amoungst our friends, so even if we have the majority of the people, we still might lose cause the votes are distributed... That's what happened last year when two of our friends ran for a position in APC and our votes we split between them, so another girl got the most votes instead :( Anyways~ Which one would you pick? Laura's making the last design so I don't have it sorry (>_<)/ Honestly when I was tracing the outlines with a sharpie pen, I was so nervous (x_x) You know...afraid to mess up and start all over again, but glad that's over xD

EDIT- Yeah...at this point I'm tired and getting lazy, so I might not even finish my last one (>_<)/ Anyways here are two of them and the design for the back of the shirt...simple so ink isn't wasted :/

Winter Season Update.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨

Nihao everyone \(>_<") So it seems that no one posted anything lately, so here it is...
Bad new first as usual :/ For the following weeks Miki will be going through her first hectic work overload of the year...This week is okay, since there aren't any major tests until Friday where there's a AP psychology test and a Physics test back to back again (x_x) I currently have four test grades up for physics, the first one was pretty bad, the next two were awesome if I must say so myself :) but I just took a test recently, the day after our physics teacher came back from his three day absence (Everyone's getting sick lately sigh*), anyways I did super bad on it that my two good grades now only balance out my two bad grades...le sniffle* :'( This weekend I really want to go play tennis cause that's my stress reliever as of now... After that I shall be stuck in my room finishing a history project and an AP psychology project (a super long baby book- currently learning about child development, etc.) The history project is due Monday next week, and the AP psychology project is due Tuesday...that following night I have to go to a meeting for National Art Honors Society to talk about the induction (-___-") Oh almost forgot, the Science Honors Society form is due Monday too...honestly I've been asking too many teachers for recommendations lately...(National Honors Society, Art, English, Science...and then History applications will be out in March =A=) I'm really sick going around asking teachers to fill out all these forms, le shot* Back to the plans for the week, Wednesday there's another math test, which I have to do good on to bring my grade back up to an A (I dropped from a 96 to a 91 cause of my last test grade x_x) Why am I doing so bad lately? I didn't even PR for track...idk I might have, but my time got a bit messed up last time...(33.85 somehow became a 33.35 on the list posted up on the board) so for the meet yesterday I got a 33.8 flat, so technically I did PR, but not according to the list that someone messed up somehow (>_<") Either way I am not proud of the 0.05 second decrease...There should be another meet soon and it's indoors, hopefully I won't be a disappointment and actually do better :/ Back to the schedule, sometime next week I also have to retake my physics test so that I can pull it back up, it is crucial (TT___TT) After that is my first SAT on Saturday (*-*) le faint* It not that that important to me now since I can always take it again, but my mom would probably nag at me if I don't do good...Following that weekend is the midterms week augh ______le dead* (x_x)

Okay so after that long paragraph/essay about Miki's failures and possible death the following weeks...well if I somehow manage to survive with my brain and sanity still intact, then woot~! Another Sweet Sixteen to go to for my little Freshie <3 She's no longer a freshman, but I met her when she was one, so yeah xP Um...Then idk when the Art Honors Society induction is, but whenever it is, I'm ready for it :) Finally, Physics SKI TRIP \(^O^)/ Huhu~ Never gone before, but I'm ready to trip, fall, and tumble down the hill like there's not tomorrow~ because I'm free from hell :') On the other hand if I don't make it back from my trip down the stairs through hell, then you'll probably find me with all the other piles of corpse on the floor...feel free to write my will for meh~ Btw sorry for the torture you two had to go through to reach the bottom of this page x3
