Well, another show has gone by. It all started off 3 days ago on Wednesday. I'm going to skip the school part. Well I got at 2:30 and went to Clement to buy Diana and myself some dinner. I went to this bakery place that also made Hawaiin BBQ. By the time Diana got off, we waited for her to get in the car and she came over to my house. We had about 2 hours before we had to leave again, so we worked on Physio homework, talked, and listened to music so we could do last minute preparation for the show. We ate an early dinner at like 4:30. 10 minutes before we had to leave, I was rushing to get everything together and fix up my makeup, haha. So then, we left at 6 on the dot and got there in 15 minutes.


Once we got out of the car, the people in line and staff told us that was the will call line, so we went to the other line, which went on and on and on. We turned the corner and that's where we waited in line. It was freezing the whole 45 minutes we were waiting. Some annoying dude behind us was talking on his cell majority of the time and there were annoying girls in front too. A RockStar van pulled up to the sidewalk and people were crowding around to get free drinks. People go crazy for "free" stuff. That reminds me. NOTHING is free > I learned that in Econ, lol. Cost of production and delivery is not free by the way. Anyway, yeah, Peta came up to everyone in line and asked us to sign something against animal cruelty. I signed it and got a pink bunny sticker that said Anti-fur. The line started moving at 7, and when we got to the door, people checked our bags and patted us for weapons. We got 2 guitar stamps at the door and went in. Diana and I immediately walked to the merch booth for We The Kings. We both got a blue We The Kings hoodie with silver foil crowns and name. I tried it on a S and a lady tapped me and asked what size it was. I said a S and she looked surprised that that was a small, cause it was pretty big, especially in the arms. We got an XS. And the merch guy was annoying, everytime he said something offensive, he would save himself by saying 'Jaykay'. I don't know of anyone who says that out loud. But yeah, he was weird.


So then we got a space in the center, waited for a little, and then The Cab came out with some stupid ghetto song playing. They sang Take My Hand, 70's Song, I'll Be, some song with "keep dancing" in it, and I'll Run. Alex DeLeon has a really nice singing voice and the covers were good. He said we were the best crowd and the night before the crowd was dead. During I'll Be, some girl started the swaying movement and formed her hand into a shape of the heart. Alex did it back to her and she screamed her butt off. He kept putting himself into the crowd and the girls went gaga for him. I kept hearing "Omg, he's so hot (or cute)!". Twas quite annoying. And like one of her friends started the swaying movement. And then I guess he almost fell or something and then he said "That's what I love about you. If I'd fall, you'd catch me." And Diana said something like he stepped on some fan's hand and he said "I'm so sorry." Yeah, I don't really remember their performance, but it was good.


Next was We The Kings, and I was getting excited. They put down the stupid screen again and played Pink Panther clips during the what seemed like a long intermission. We were packed liked sardines even just waiting, and people kept pushing us back and forth the whole time. So finally We The Kings came out and I was so excited.

Well, this is going to be my last blog of 2007. I haven't blogged in over 2 months now, and a lot has been going on since then...a lot of crap, but also good stuff. 2007 was probably the probably the best year ever and it's going to be hard to forget it. It was a year of firsts, disappointments, but also a lot of fun. They include: driving, Warped, meeting bands, getting the lowest grade I've ever gotten in my life, and going through the whole college process. The fun was definitely going to concerts every month practically and going on vacations.


Since my latest entry, I was supposed to go to Wintour w/ Hawthorne Heights, Amber Pacific, Escape The Fate, The Secret Handshakes, and The AKAs. But 3 weeks prior to the show, it was cancelled because of the lost of Casey Calvert. R.I.P. Casey. =( It was disappointing to find out the whole tour was cancelled, but I definitely understand losing someone close to you. It takes priority over anything else. More on with the bad news...I got my report card in early December and I earned the lowest grade I've ever gotten in my life. My parents were so mad, so now I'm getting tutored in 2 subjects and I have fewer priviledges on school nights. I don't know, but school sucks. Senior year sucks, especially. I don't understand why I took challenging classes this year. WHAT WAS I THINKING?! Now I'm suffering for another 6 months unless I drop a course next semester. To add to it all, finals are coming up in like 2-3 weeks and I have to go through college acceptances and definitely, rejections, in 2 months. I wish we could just skip to graduation now and the summer, then everything would be okay.


2 weeks ago, we got out for winter break. Unlike all the other schools, we got out in mid-December, a week earlier than everyone else. I was so excited, no worries, no teachers, no homework, no tests for 2 weeks and 2 days. The following Monday, the family and I went to L.A. - particularly Anaheim and Garden Grove, for our annual end of the year vacation at Disneyland. The first day we got there, we went to the mall. It was the most boring day ever. The second day we went to Hollywood and saw the Hollywood Walk of Fame and hand/foot prints in front of the Chinese Graumann Theater. That night, we saw the musical, WICKED. I must say it was good. We didn't get home til 12 that night. The next 3 days were spent at Disneyland and California Adventure. I rode California Screamin' for the first time, and it's the shiznit. It's the best ride there in my opinion. At first I was scared to ride it, but if you ask me now, I'd go on it anytime. We came home last Saturday and the ride back was dreadfully boring and long - full of traffic. The next day I volunteered to giftwrap at Borders for a club with Diana and Lisa. We stayed there for 4 hours, wrapped a lot of books, and made $70 in donations. Pretty good I must say for all that work. The next days were spent going over to cousins' house and eating out for dinner with the rest of the family. On Christmas, my mom's side came over for lunch and we opened presents and played Guitar Hero all day. Yeah, my sister got it for Christmas and we've been playing almost every day ever since. It's addicting I tell you. That night, we went over to Uncle's house to spend time with my dad's side. The next couple of days I didn't do much. It was pretty boring. Friday, I went out shopping with Diana all day and didn't get home 'til 8. Yeah, it was fun and...interesting. Today I watched Atonement with mom and sister. I didn't like it all that much.


Now there's only 2 days left of break. I'm really sad it's over already. I'm not planning to do anything much either, so that sucks. One more day of 2007, then it's already 2008. I can't believe it! Pretty soon it will be June and I'll be graduating. It's all so surreal. I don't want to have new years resolutions, cause I never really keep to it, but I'm going to try this year.

- Work out more often

- Raise GPA

- Get into college of choice

- Get license before the end of summer

- Go to shows/meet bands (again)

- Be healthy and happy

Yeah, that's about it, but I really want to accomplish these this year. I hope I stick to it, haha. Sucks to go back to school, but I know I'm not going through it alone. 2008!!! I'm ready.

( Amber Pacific - So Yesterday )

Summer vacation's ending in exactly a week, and I've been holding off my summer blog until now. I didn't wanna have to do that, but everytime I wanna update, something good happens again. So here's my longest blog ever with all the details.

*Click link below to read more...

Hey, I'm finally back, and with lots of icons! I have been really busy lately with school/club stuff. Sometimes if I had time, I would make a few icons here and there. But this weekend, fortunately I got an opportunity to make a lot. I was experimenting with different coloring, so the coloring are different for some. I won't be posting until Thanksgiving break, so enjoy!

Shows premiere this week, I'm so excited! =D A few Channing/Step Up icons too. Pictures credit to Channingtatum.org. Also happy to be able to post my Duke & Viola (She's The Man) music video that took me a couple days to make. For all the Channing fans, a lot of him in here! Please click to image below to download the video and don't revise or claim as you're own. I'm posting it to let you see for your viewing pleasure. Thank you. =)

Another weekend over quickly again ... Ugh. I wish I had more time. I got a chance to make lots of icons yesterday and today so I decided to update. I was just looking through a Channing website, and I found screencaps to Shes The Man, so I decided to make icons for it. (Credit to Channingtatumonline and Shineon-media for the pictures.) I also recorded clips from the dvd so I plan to make a Channing music video from it probably next weekend and post a link. 2 1/2 more weeks till One Tree Hill premieres and 1 week till The WB officially becomes The CW! I'm excited yet sad. I'll miss that channel ... it's much better quality than UPN and had much better shows. So anyways, enjoy the icons and I'll be back in a week! =)

Happy Labor Day! Thank gosh for this day, I was able to these icons just within this day & I of course, plan to make more, but I won't be able to update until the end of this week. Well, school was this past week and I already got homework on the 3rd day. It's a drag waking up really early and coming home, and just doing homework. No time for iconing or other personal stuff. Anyways, a little multi-fandom post here, many from the TCA ... decided to try the entry layout a little different, it's not as organized as before. Enjoy! =)

School's starting on Monday, and I have to focus on homework, tests, & all that bad stuff. I will be still posting and making graphics whenever I can, so still check back. This is a pretty big post, icons, color bars, and banners. Enjoy, and I'll be back as soon as I can! =) Hope everyone had a good summer and good luck in the next year of school, unless school's already over with. ;)

Well, it's been a week since I last posted. I've been busy lately, and school starts in exactly a week. Really sucks ... I won't have as much time to make icons like I had during the summer, but I will try to update at least once a week. Anyways, on to more exciting news ... LB 3 premiered this Wednesday and I got some icons. A multi-fandom post today ... I'm planning to make more icons, so check back within a couple days. I'm hoping I can post twice this week. =)

Step Up came out on Friday!!! And I watched it yesterday. I LOVED it ... Channing was really good in it. A++ <3 I really like the music too, I need to get the soundtrack. Anyways, a week since I last updated. I've been busy with classes and other stuff so I didn't have much time to make icons lately. But, here's a batch. I'm planning to make more Laguna/The Hills/OTH/Smallville icons this week, so I'll update as soon as I can. Also, a new layout ... And don't forget about the season premiere of LB3 this Wednesday! =D

This weekend was fantastic, especially today. Just got back from John Hancock's Champions On Ice show. I loved it, my sister and I were screaming. After watching the Olympics, it's really exciting to see them perform for fun all together. My favorites were there: Sasha Cohen, Michelle Kwan, and Tanith Belbin / Ben Agusto. Anyways, got a new batch of icons here and a couple of banners. Enjoy, and check back soon, more is on the way! =D

Well, today was the season finale of The Hills! =( But GREAT news! Lauren and the rest of the girls decided to do a new season. It's gonna be exciting, it should be coming next year. I was just getting sad as the show was about to end, but I realized that it was the season finale, meaning it wasn't ending, it didn't say series finale. It just hit me after watching the commercials many times. I'm happy for what Lauren chose ... I really thought she was going to Paris, cause she packed and everything ... but they always switch it. I wonder how life will be for all of them ... Anyways, made more icons of The Hills in honor of the season finale and other stuff (50)! More will be on the way soon ...

Well, for those who watch The Hills, we all know Heidi & Jordan are over ... aw! =( But that won't stop me from making icons, because I still love them! I can't believe it though ... it was very emotional. Also, watched John Tucker Must Die today. It was funny, nice to get a good laugh once in awhile. Not much of a multi-fandom post, just The Hills (18) & John Tucker Must Die (17), with 2 'friend me' banners. =)

Icons and banners! Take a look! If you would like the banners in a different size, let me know. Come back soon for more. =)

Well this is my first post on LiveJournal! I'm fairly new to this so I don't know what I'm really doing, but I'll get the hang of it (sooner or later). I do have a xanga, which I update once or twice a week, but I'll be updating on both. I just got into making icons/graphics again so check them out. =)
