day 78

i'm sitting in my dorm playing connect four on my roommate's bed. yes we are playing the physical version of connect four. i haven't touched a physical version of the game in so long.

this morning, i had went on a bus tour that i had rsvped for weeks in advanced. the bus that picked us up was the typical red double decker bus. it was my first time on a bus like that even though i have lived here all my life. the weather was perfect but i felt a little hot. i met some new people and a girl on tumblr that i followed. it was nice. but it was a little too long.

basically nothing else happened. besides that. then i just hung out with the guys as usual.

day 77

man, i forgot to blog yesterday.
yesterday was convocation. it was very interesting to say the least.
there were the traditional bagpipes at the convocation. five bagpipe players.
and i played mario party till like midnight, and then lost.
and my roommate moved in!

day 76

i got to explore a little bit of the poly campus today with g. i'm thankful he's around to show me places.
today i got to see a familiar face. j came to visit me in my dorm (: we went to five guys to eat lunch! it was the first time i had five guys. i heard a lot of good things about five guys but my expectations were killed. the placed allowed you to put whatever you wanted on the burger but even then the burger was messy and it tasted like every other burger i've had. the fries were made from real potatoes too so i wasn't really enjoying it.

but afterwards, j and i took a walk and walked the brooklyn bridge! it was the first time i set foot on the brooklyn bridge by walking. i've seen it in movies and drove on it in a car but never walked on it by foot! it was amazing. i remember seeing a documentary about it in architecture. a lot of hard work was put into this fantastic, famous landmark.

and then we were both tired and went back into my dorm room and cuddled.
during that time, my suitemate moved in :D she seems really nice. shy, but nice. but that was me on my first day. i just have to let her break in a little.

in general, the day was just a good day.
tomorrow starts my official day convocation. hopefully it turns out well!
till tomorrow
xx

day 75

a few more days until this blog is completely shut down. as of right now, i'm sitting in my dorm. it's lonely in my dorm but that's okay. i needed the alone time.
i had a really nice day today. i spent most of the time with my dormmates, t and s. first i hung out with t and played mario party. i won, with six stars. :D and then afterwards, s came and then we all went out to get lunch. we had lunch at a place called concord market. i was expecting a market but in actuality, it was a deli. i had a monte cristo panini. it was so good. and it came with an iced tea and chips. classy. let's just say i had that.. hmm. about six hours ago? and i'm still satisfied for my belly. i'll probably have to order some late night food later tonight for dinner though.
and then later, we just hung out in t's room. and then a came and just sat and hang until i decided to come back into my room.
a lot of the things here is very self service.
when i came back into my room, t told me how to open the lock on my room. you had to go on the internet to find the access code. very self service indeed.
as of right now, i don't really miss my family and friends that much. i feel very open and i'm liking the new experiences. i feel very welcomed here and i've already made pretty fantastic buddies.
well i think i'm going to shower now, or something. or find something to do. like read. till tomorrow
xx

day 74

today was my first day of moving in. and i'm sitting here playing monopoly star edition with some people i met. today it was rainy but that's okay. the move wasn't that bad. i was the first one in my dorm. it was nice. i don't know these people yet but it was easy so far. of course i'm hanging out with the boys.
so yeah im going to get back to this game.
bye!!

day 73

and alas, here it is, my last night in nhp.
i spent it with j. we went to dave and busters and got a lot of tickets. and surprisingly, i had a lot of good luck on my side today. and won a lot. good chances.
i believe in good luck. a lot.
it's surreal. as my luggage is sitting across the room from me. i've never been away from home, alone, ever. it'll be an adventure. and especially with this hurricane coming. it's supposed to be a really big one. or from what everyone makes it out to be. we've already been placed under warnings and such. the only thing that scares me is food because i have no idea what i'm going to do without it. especially when i don't have a kitchen. i guess i'm going to have to go to the bank tomorrow to get some extra cash out.
i hope everything goes well this weekend. a little power outage would be nice but not for long. i hope everyone is safe and that nothing gets flooded and crazy. heck, i hope i'm okay. i'm so near the shoreline.
well i should be heading off. getting some rest. (even though i probably won't be getting some rest)
hopefully there will be enough wifi and internet for me tomorrow, bye!

day 72

as i sit here wiping away my tears, s, h, r, and j are all heading off to college tomorrow.
it breaks my heart.
and i cried so many tears today. even though i know i'll see them again. it's just knowing that they're not just down the block from me anymore.
i just had nyquil, i'm not tired yet.
even though i should go to bed.
ill miss you guys.
please don't forget me.
please.

day 71

So i'm sitting in the park with j and watching j, j, and s and watching them play buzzed basketball. Tonight will be one of the last nights we will have each other.
edit
so i came home. the above was because i was blogging on s's phone but it was too hard to type. today was a good day.
my throat still hurts.
goodnight

day 70: surprise party

so today my friends and i successfully threw a surprise party for r and s. well, sort of. i was with 2 friends hiding but then they spotted the two of them because j drove in the wrong direction.
but r was surprised i was there. cause i lied and told her i was going to be in dc for like a whole week.
i got her 18 different sticky notes. and she loved them! :D i'm happy she did. after a short talk, i had to go to douglaston to go shopping with my parents. i got some leggings and some scoop neck tshirts and a jean jacket. just the simple stuff that i wear. then i went to target with dad to get stuff for college.
and then i went home and got ice cream with the kids that i originally hung out with except i didnt get ice cream because i have a fever slash sore throat. i guess i shouldn't be going out to begin with but i really didn't want to regret it or miss anything.
and then we went to the park to play man hunt and b y the time the first round was over, i was too over heated to play anymore so j bought me home. sigh. xD
so here i am, home, a zombie and blogging.
see how committed i am?

day 69

so fed up
i can't wait to leave this.
my mom, not even my DAD, is so fucking annoying.

day 68: virginia

day 66

before i forget, heres a sentence so it counts as a blog.
edit 11:42 pm:
so i went to the mall with j today. and basically just bought some basic clothing for college. i got new leggings, skinny jeans, and a skirt. i'm ready. i'll be going to dc tomorrow, so i doubt i can blog.
so. yeah. till then.

day 65

i didn't blog yesterday, but for a good reason.

last day was my last day of kumon. hip hip horray!
my boss told me good luck and she told me to visit her.

yesterday was also the last day i was going to see b for a very long time.

so here's to you girl.

dear b,
yesterday i could barely say any words to you through my tears. i tried so hard to hold them in but i guess years and years of our friendship just caused them to leak out. you were a part of my childhood and teenage years; a big one. probably the most impactful out of all our friends. i've known you the longest and probably continued to know you for the longest. you were a light in darkness. your laughter can break any sad emotions. you are strong. you are brave. you are fierce.
i'll always remember our silly moments together. we always had that telepathy together. not only did we share the same birthday, but we shared a lot of the same moments. sometimes, you'd only say one or two words and i'd be able to finish it. i grew up watching you grow and you grew up watching me grow. we've changed a lot from when we were little munchkin 6th graders. we grew up to be two fierce young women who will not let people tear us down. you are an adventure.
i'll always remember our moments. from making pointless vlogs EVEN from before vlogs were cool. singing karaoke at your house. playing mario kart. attempting to prank the school before school ended. but failed. making cookies for red cross. bike riding. me nearly getting hit down that block. going to bob howards.
there were so many.
i'd like to say thank you. thank you for being there for me. from my first major breakup to my emo moments to my rock moments. you were there.
have fun in tennessee. don't scare off dem farmers with yo' new york style.
i'll see you soon.
-rosa

day 64

stayed at home
played videogames with the boys
what do you do when you have to chose between plans you've made with your boy a while ago vs plans made the day before hand with everyone else? :/

day 63

i forgot to blog yesterday. i just went to work.
thats it
the girl who was supposed to replace me didnt come
so its a big FUCKK YOUUU
and i got one of my friends who i can actually depend on to come.

day 62

i didn't blog yesterday.
shun me.

i just hung out with friends.

... that's about it.
and saw final destination 5/
edit 12:35 pm
so i just had breakfast and now currently have the patience to blog.
yesterday morning i woke up bright and early for a meet up with my ap physics class & teacher for a lunch at panera bread. sadly, only 2 people, a and j, were able to make it, and of course mr.c but it was nice seeing them. we talked about what we've done the past summer and what was in store for us in college. all the talks mr.c gave us during the school year about college were coming to life. he kept telling us to do our laundry. he told us at least five times. we also started talking about our past physics class and what he could have done better. of course i was the only one to say anything. and then we started talking about how me and physics don't go together. and then he said that i should go into design. and which i have thought about before. i guess i have yet to realize what i'm good at. i'm good at math. i do have some artistic capability. i am fruity and fun and a kid and creative. i should work for disney. hell, that's my dream job. that'd just be amazing. everything about disney is amazing and just. *le sigh.
anywhosiles.
after that i went home and just waited out until my next plans. and then went to b's house for a little hang out. we played mario kart on game cube. i've never played mario kart on game cube until recently that i've gone to her house to play. of course there's a little lag from the aging of the game but it's pretty intense. every time my friends and i play, there's a lot of cursing and fiercity in the room. and i guess that means that it's a really good game of mario kart.
it was nice seeing everyone together at the same time. b is leaving for tennessee this friday. i'm going to miss her a lot. i've known her for YEARS AND YEARS. her going to tennessee seems so... surreal. i know for a fact it's not goodbye though. it's only goodbye if you say goodbye. and i guess the moment she leaves for college is the rude awakening that all of my friends (and including me) will be heading off soon to our different paths. and that this is real life. and this might be the last time you will see these people again.
like when s and i went to the hey monday concert the other day, that might be the last time i'll see him. maybe forever. if anything. and that scares me. especially when we're talking about people who mean so much to me in my life. and b, i've known her for years. even though there were some times where we had a rough patch (like in all friendships and relationships with people), we also had a lot of amazing times. and those are the moments we are both going to remember.
and then after b leaves, one by one everyone else is going to leave. i will be one of the last people to leave from my 'group of friends'. i think the second to last. i'm a little scared. it's like summer camp but longer and more difficult. my room mate seems amazing though. i like how she's so.. out there. and she's not shy. which is fantastic because i won't be afraid to not spark a conversation. i meant that as in, i didn't want to be the only one talking. but i'm excited.
man. so much for just writing a little bit.
but anyway. continuing on without sidetracking.
after i met up with my friends, i went home because i was tired. i rested up a little and then went out with j to continue with our plans for the night. even though i screwed them up because i insisted on seeing my friends. and he was a little mad, the night was amazing. we saw final destination 5 in 3d. that was the first time i've ever seen any final destination movie. and i'm pretty sure i have the first final destination on tape in my house. i guess i mixed up final destination with final fantasty. xD spoiler: so anyway. final destination, if you didn't know so already (because i didn't know to begin with) is about a group of people who were supposed to die on a trip, but then someone with a vision foreshadows the event and basically saves everyone's life. but then as everyone continues on with their life, death has a way of finding them because well, they "cheated death". and the movie shows how each person died. from the six people that were left living, about one or two of them had a very.. "juicy" death. everyone else had a crazy way of dying that was just way too over exaggerated. like one of the girls died when she was on the gymnast bar. when she was swinging around, the flour-like-white-powder stuff was in the air and clouded the air and i guess she let go. why? i have no idea. but anyway, she flew into the air, landed on her neck, and her body bent backwards and then her thigh bone was like coming out through her thigh. i don't know how on earth that is possible. it's just so.. over dramatic. and a lot of the graphics were clearly fake. i guess their budget for special effects were lacking. i was more scared of what could happen than what actually happened.
after that we got italian ices as usual. we saw k there. i got the carribean splash. i usually get passion fruit but this one was pretty good too, more citric-y. i got hyper. and then we went for mini golf round two. i was doing so well in the beginning but then i crashed during the last round. we ended up tieing. i did a lot better than i did the first time. so i'm guessing next time we play mini golf, i will win! well... hopefully. after that we just took a walk and the park that we usually sneak into had it's fence fixed. so we just took a walk. the park smelt like weed. everywhere. we saw a. he asked me where h was. and it was.. well awkward. he probably thinks h & i were still together. or something.. anyway. then we just went back into the car, and believe it or not, we both fell asleep. i guess we were both pooped out.
that's why i didn't blog last night. cause i was wiped out.
and i guess this blog post turned out to be a lot longer than i wanted it to be.
and i still have to blog for today too.
so, BYE.

day 61

im sort of tired of typing as a blog.

yesterday i saw hey monday for the second time in my life. it was amazing. the sound was amazing. the set list was amazing. they played all the old songs that i adore and i screamed all the lyrics that i knew. it was just amazing. i recorded a lot of songs on my camera and took a lot of pictures. some of them were half decent. which is not bad considering my camera is old.

and today i went out and bought stuff for.. yeah don't worry about it. (: for someone. and then hung out with j.

another night. another day of summer.

day 59

so i am typing this blog on my new laptop, isabell. i've used her before but my dad insisted on me using her to make sure that she works. and she does, amazingly. i've switched over to google chrome and i am lovin' it. maybe because this laptop is wiped clean, but google chrome is pretty fast and sleek. google is soon to take over the world. with youtube and google plus and many other things google owns, i'm not surprised if google will be the only thing in the future.
all i did today was watch jersey shore and project runway and met up with h today. he just came back from london a few days ago and we took a walk around town to catch up. sadly though, it was just too hot to do anything and i was wearing a man cotton shirt and basically sweating through it. while the walk was only an hour or so long, it was well worth it. it was nice seeing him. he's always in and out of the country (in reality, he only left twice but i barely saw him so i'd like to say in and out) but i missed seeing him.
sigh, day 59 already. and so far this blog has been a bust. nothing interesting has happened so far. but i guess it's nice for the reference even though i'm aware that no one reads this. in about two weeks, i will be heading off to college. it's surreal and i don't believe it. i'll be blogging during my first week of orientation too; considering it's not really school yet. and isabell will be there with me for the adventure :D
well i'm starving. and my mother just came home. i think i will go pester her about making food. till tomorrow!
byee

day 58

all i did was go to work.
seriously.
and gathered up my college supplies all in one box.
and that's about it.
i have a bug bite on my arm that makes me look like pop eye's arm.
the end

day 57

today started off as a simple day with a simple plan in mind. i was going to go out with j for sushi as dinner but things didn't go as planned.
so i ended up seeing my friends but not j. we played mario kart on the game cube and we ate chips and laughed and talked. it was nice. i missed seeing them. it wasn't the same.
and then i went home for dinner and texted j for italian ices. i had the same flavor but he had marshmallow.
and then we hung out and took a walk and gazed under the stars in the park.
we had a lovely night.
and he helped me figure out something.
i guess this has been in my mind for the longest time. i guess i've been worried about not keeping in contact with my friends. i guess i was worried about not talking to them ever again; especially since all of us are going to different places. but i guess what he made me realize is that this is life and that this is bound to happen. as hard as i'd wish to keep in contact, there is no point in trying so hard when the other people aren't trying right back.
why put in all the effort when they're not working just as hard.
well i'm oovooing with s and h.
and it's 2:31 am. i'm sort of tired, sort of not.
bye!

day 56

after waking up this morning, i was surprised to find that i didn't get as nearly in trouble as i thought i would be. because i lost my phone yesterday, i thought i was going to get screamed at.. endlessly for; especially since a little over a year ago, i killed my phone.
i woke up this morning and ran many errands with my dad. we ended up getting the mattress pad that i needed for school, a new laptop, a new phone, a new lamp and ink for my printer.
i was satisfied we got all that stuff.
i went to work again.
but at the end, boy was there to surprise pick me up.
and that made everything better (:
even though i only saw him for 2 minutes, he actually took the time out of his day to come pick me up since today was a rainy day.
and then i went home and ate up a storm.
and that is it.
i'm excited for the future.

day 55: six flags

I'm sitting in the six flags parking on j's blackberry with him creeping next to me. But that's okay. We're waiting for the bus back to ny. Today was amazing. This was possibly one of the best days I've had in a long time. Even though we both woke up really early just to catch the bus, it was all worth while. However one bad thing did happen. I lost my phone on nitro. There is a slight chance of getting it back but most likely I won't. It's okay though. Taylor was a good phone. But he had his time. Why are all my phones so suicidal. First chuck jumping out of my pocket during basketball and now taylor jumping out during nitro. I just can't wait to go home to dear it from my dad tomorrow. I already told my mom...
Besides that,j and I had a fantastic time. He won me another stuffed animal. This time an elephant. I named him jacob.
Even though today was sweaty and hot, it was so worth while. It was worth the adventure.
The bus is heading back to ny now. Till tomorrow, Xx.

day 54

today. let me just say. was a fantastic day.
i got to see boy today at his lunch break!
and he made me a sandwich. (:
who said girls are the only one who make sandwiches like seriously.
but it was cute.
and it ended up being a little longer than his lunch break but that's okay. (:
he didn't get in trouble.
then i came home and later met up with boy and s to see harry potter and the deathly hallows again. i just love harry potter so much you see.
then we all took the bus home and i walked around my town with boy.
and it rained a little.
and then weirdly i said 'imagined if it rained even harder!' and well. it rained harder.
and then 2 blocks down i told the weather to stop raining. and then it did.
weird enough.
today was such a nice day.
and now i'm planning for a major trip for tomorrow.
tomorrow, a part of the gang and i shall be headin' for six flags before the summer is over.
i cannot wait. (:

day 53: and that's why i smile

for the first time in a long time, i actually spent the majority of my day outside the house.
i went to work. and went to lunch at panera with j and r.
and then i came home.
got my new glasses with s and got his new supras with him and j.
and then i came home and ate dinner and then j came over to hang out on my stoop in the rain.
i liked today.
a lot.
i should wake up earlier more often.

day 52: harry potter the exhibition

today was purely devoted to traveling to times square for the harry potter the exhibition at the discovery museum. and then my friends and i spent the day at the city.
the exhibit was alright. it wasn't amazing but i saw a lot of interesting things i never thought i'd see. however there were a lot of things that weren't up to par. a lot of things were smaller than things showed in the movie. and it isn't movie affects or anything like that. objects were generally smaller.
the most interesting thing to me were the costumes even though i'm pretty sure there are more than one for back up and for scenes.
after that we ate food at shake shack and it was the first time i ever ate from there. and oh my god. the food there is so good. i got a shake burger and stole some fries from my friends but it was delicious. i wish i got more than one though! they were so perfectly cooked and the fries were perfectly fried. i had a mouth gasm.
and then we explored the city a little bit and i got tired and half of us went home early and the rest stayed home.
and i came home and ate dinner and just relaxed. it was an okay day. could have been better.
till tomorrow
bye!

day 51: five hours

i had five hours of sleep today. and its nearly midnight and i'm still up. how i am, i have no idea. but there's something running through my blood that's keeping me. xD
today j came over in the morning and we played some mario kart again. i lost. 3-1. for stupid reasons too. for minor points.
after that, i went to wize eyes to get a new pair of glasses. i got the same prescription and they're similar to my black frames except well. they're brown; a more vintagey feel.
and then i got a new polish today at the store. it a pale pink. i'm excited to try it out.
and then i went to work today. today went by fairly quickly. i had more patience. not a lot but it was there. and i graded papers quickly. it was something to do.
and then i went home. and ate a lot. and did nothing basically.
and i was going to watch jersey shore until it broke down on me midway while i was streaming it online. i was sad.
so yeah that's about it. i should go to bed. i have a big day of harry potter tomorrow (:
shmell ya later

day 50: winnie the pooh

today was a short day. i was looking forward to just seeing winnie the pooh with j but then i decided to meet up with b, a, r & s. it was so nice seeing them. and joking with them. i haven't seen them in so long. i've got to make more of an effort to see them. or i'll regret it. i just know it.
i saw winnie the pooh. it was such a short story but it was cute. a lot of my childhood came back and i even knew some of the songs.
afterwards j & i went to subway. the subway we went to had couches and a television and coincidentally, the yankee vs white sox game. so we watched that for a little bit.
and let's just say
tonight was simple.
but so complex.
it was fun.

day 49

i'm sitting here watching foodnetwork.
today was a boring day of work.
i had the hot seat today. and took over two other tables.
but i got to sit in a good seat with cushions.
it was slow at first but then it turned easier.
i'm looking forward to getting out of work.
it's a love hate relationships with some kids.
my mother is playing mahjong right now. again.
my cousins are downstairs running around.
i'm downloading pll nows.
possibly going to take a shower soon.
bye!

day 48: picnic slash snow storm

i had one of the best days ever today. well dates. today j and i went to a park out on the island. we found a spot under the trees and laid our blanket there. we had a cute little lunch and listened to the playlist that i made. and we cuddled and did so many couple-esque things even though we're not technically a couple yet. it was really nice. we spent about 6 hours at the park and two hours just to get there and back. by the time we came back, we heard word from j's blackberry that hail started hitting the town. the sizes varied from golf ball sized to baseball sized and we even saw pictures on facebook of ruined wind shields and windows. it wasn't till we got home when we saw some of the broken cars ourselves.
the funny thing was, while we were in the park, we got slightly rained on. the tree we were under protected us mostly from the rain but it wasn't as drastic as the storm at home.
and that's about it
nothing else to update on
till tomorrow
xx
