Alive (?)
Sorry for the lack of updates! I’ve been sick and really busy, but thank God, it’s finally winter break!
So in the 3+ weeks I’ve been dead, much has happened. First, I got an audition for the role of Jade in the upcoming Bratz live action movie. So I got to New York, and everyone at the agency was like “Oh my God you’re going to be rich and famous!” while I was like “…sure…”. Long story short, the trip there was awful (me and mom arguing on the streets, stupid thugs feeling me up), and they actually made me sing for the audition, and I conveniently forgot the lyrics to “Colors of the Wind” half way through. Needless to say, I did not get the part, but eh, there will always be next time. 
Christmas was great, though there was no snow at all. No Christmas tree either, because I was too lazy to set everything up. 
But Christmas presents were excellent: a coach bag, 3 pairs of shoes, 2 rings, more than $500 worth of clothes, disney posters, the little mermaid dvd, books, stuffed animals, more handbags and accessories, and of course, candy!
My break was spent working (4+ hours a day at The Limited). Not that bad as the other sales associates are nice, but my feet are killing me. Oh well, at least I’ll have money to spend after the break is over
Speaking of money, I got a $15000 scholarship into UMBC and a $5000 scholarship into Philadelphia University. UMBC is very tempting, as its dorms are hotel suite style, and that scholarship means I don’t need to pay a thing 
Also got a recommendation for the presidential scholars program at FIT, but it’s too much of a hassle. Besides, I hate New York City now…stupid thugs.
Ok, so I had a lot more I was going to write, but once again, I’m getting sick of this blog (I need to get rid of this habit). Perhaps I’ll post more once my new layout is up, but right now my photo shop isn’t working, which makes me mad.

My Shnookums
I got a hamster! I still find it hard to believe that my mom would actually agree, but she did. It’s a male dwarf hamster, very tiny, and very cute. I was having trouble coming up with a name, but eventually me (and my friends) agreed on Timmy (named after this really cute guy I used to know…haha), but I prefer to call him shnookums.
However, my dad is NOT pleased at all, as he thinks I’m irresponsible and I’ll probably make my mom do all the cleaning. He was willing to bet in 3 weeks time, I’ll lose interest in Timmy. Now that just pisses me off. What kind of parent thinks so negatively about their child? Yeah, I used to be like that, but how will you know I haven’t changed if you won’t give me the chance to prove it?
Remember that homework my Economics teacher gave during the Thanksgiving break? Well, I found out I got a D on it, and now I just loathe her even more. It’s bad enough she gave homework over the holidays, and a hard one too, but she actually graded it and gave a D? I think I’m going to add her to my blacklist some day.
Going shopping with Jin on Friday. Actually, not so much shopping for me as looking for a part-time job. That substitute teacher position at JRP is still in the air, so I think I’m going to check out positions at The Limited or Limited Too. Wish me luck!
PS: I think I’m going to delete the threaded comment hack. I’m too lazy to reply to comments. :/ Do you guys read them anyways?

Feed My Sheep
The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.”
John 21:17-18
This was the scripture God gave me as I was leaving school on Monday. I’m not sure why this verse, as I’m still trying to get out of my own mess, but I’ve been thinking about it all week, and I’ve sort of come to a conclusion:
Though I’m recovering, there are still so many of my friends who do not know Him and His amazing love for us. Even when I’m in despair and think that the world has turned its back on me, I still have God. Who do my friends have? Recently, my best friend from Taiwan got dumped by her boyfriend. Just a few days after my incident. I could relate to her helplessness and pain, but unlike me, she was unable to find comfort in anything. I feel compassion for her, and have decided to add her to my prayer list, because I know that this was God’s calling when He told me to feed his sheep. I know this might take months or even years, but God is always on time.
I got my SAT scores, and I did only 70 points better than last time, giving me a 2080. I’m starting to wonder why I even bothered. :/ I still got a 7 on my essay, but I couldn’t care less because I know I can’t write if my life depended on it. But I’m still 10 points away from that perfect 800 in math! Now that makes me mad! However, my percentages increased by quite a bit, so it wasn’t all that bad. I wish the exams and tests were over, but unfortunately, I have TOEFL tomorrow. Oh the agony.
I also got the books I ordered from Amazon. I’ve read a bit of one of them, and the letters in there are enough to make my melt. I truly feel God talking to me as He looks on with loving eyes, calling me His princess. Will definitely write reviews for them when I’m done.
