OMG the people at Sony cameras makers  LEARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!  Haha they probably made the feature ages ago but my first camera has this annoying red date on the bottom right that is actually part of the picture….  And my mom insists that it always be on so I sometimes forget to turn it off and end up with a huge blaring ugly red list of numbers on the bottom right when I label the date on the file name regardless….  NOW my parents felt like buying a better camera since the flash feature took 3 seconds+ to recharge….  So the new camera is SMART ENOUGH to leave the date as part of the file name !!!!!  the values of common sense…….  ><  haha just to take a break before my eyes fall out from reading APUSH, off a cliff. 

Something interesting about my family is that we have a totally variegated spectrum in our sense of music….  My dad listens to Chinese opera tunes, which you would expect your grandfather to listen to, my mom listens to Korean drama theme songs or OPs/ED’s as well as the oldies like Elvis or something.  Then there’s my brother who listens to American oldies like from Casablanca, or Guys and Dolls, the movies from the Hollywood Era when sound was just being discovered…..  what’s most annoying is his rock, pop, heavy metal songs that he claims are Christian but have no Christian lyrics…  Christians can sing rock but that doesn’t make the songs Christian nor sound good.  Above that annoyance is that he listens to a movie, the media player is minimized, while playing trumpet as well as listening to a rock song on another media player……..  Then I’m the oldest and most archaic guy combined with some recent stuff, listening as far back as Bach and Brahms =P but then again Anime or some game music seems nice as well, especially songs with piano and clarinet =D.

P.S. Now for Microsoft to finally work and make it so that MICROSOFT OFFICE 2007 IS NOT INCOMPATIBLE WITH EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING BEFORE IT SINCE 99.99% OF THE WORLD DOESN’T USE 2007, unfortunately I’m in the .01% ~.~  stupid format…. Then again it saves about 50% more space…….  ><  *probably clueless about complexities of the format*  The 1.15 spacing and all the simplified tabs are nice tho >< esp. for the person who fell asleep in all the computer lesson classes during 3^rd grade or whatever.

P.S.S. Okayyyyy back to studying~

P.S.S.S. O ya there’s the musical, maybe I’ll just take a nap now.

Hmmmm I'll probably be offline forever now.....  other than at late late night, reason being that my brother seems to really sap up my efficiency when typing ~.~ go figure.....  Well~  not much use fighting with someone who doesn't listen to teachers, parents, or principals iver something so petty, so~ my little stupid solution is carry everything into my room and work in a cloistered environment~  Meh, time to turn off and transport....

YAY WIRELESS =P

Hmmmm….. how many people can one person be?

Hmmmm it seems pretty late in the morning already,

Yay~ daylight savings, we get more daylight now~  =P  Funny how easy it is to adapt and actually wake up earlier than usual now……  At the Section leader tryouts today I’m kinda thinking that I almost shouldn’t make it or try  at all seeing how I don’t think any Symphonic Band member has ever made it to section leader and If I do pass round 1 then it’s probably due partially to some favoritism by Marra.  But yay~ replace all worries with yay~  ^^  So……… Off to practice in hopes of lessening the gaps between Wind Ensemble section leader people =P

P.S. Yay~ my plum and apricot trees have blossoms AND THEY’RE BOTH JUST OUTSIDE MY WINDOW =D

P.S.S. hmmmm better get caught up on a semester’s worth of Chemistry as well as a few chapters of APUSH, which is like .00001 semester’s worth of APUSH reading =(

P.S.S.S. yay officially un-addicted to online games, high on books again now~ might be a long while too ~

edit:: yay~ failure as expected~ well til Tuesday the official candidates are Monica, Albert, and Frances.  I think Monica and albert are going to make it, not to bash Frances but they seem to be a higher chair, unconfirmed~, section leaders of sophmore symph band, + I guess more popular throughout clarinets, dunno~  anyways off to work.
