Oh Lord.

Say hello to New Moon's Edward.

Winter Break: Two Days Left!

I should be doing:
Bio
Jap

I am doing:
Blogging

Two more days 'till the blissful break! *so excited*. But, like always, before fun comes hard work. So, this week I'm doing so much hard work! Yay! *pick up on the sarcasm yet?* I'm not really being tested, seeing as how my teachers now believe testing this near the end of the semester is foolish *wanna apply that logic to the finals as well?* However, I am being quizzed. . .or big quizzed, as the teachers like to call it. Apparently, they're worth more than quizzes, but less than tests. . .hence the title, "big quiz".

Monday: Hist quiz *Omg I just loooove that Napoleon*
Tuesday: Bio quiz *Three cheers for mitosis you guys!*
Wednesday: Math quiz *Multiplying square roots are SO much fun*
Thursday: No quiz *I don't believe that. . .there's a twist for sure*
Friday: Bio (again) and English quizzes *Oh Lord, I really can't get enough of meiosis, and as for Dante and his endless circles of hell. . .so much fun I'm having*

Is it just me, or do these teachers always go berserk before a break?

Smile, We're Looking

Which mask will you wear today?

We like to see you smile,
That masque hasn't been seen for awhile.

Down on your hands and knees
Cleaning up the mess you made.
A surely contagious disease
That makes us all afraid.

Is it heavy on your chest,
That bundle of lies?
At night, can you even rest
With so much you despise?

But, you've done it again
Yet to learn from mistakes.
Around your foot, there's still a chain
And in your heart, remain the aches.

So, which mask will you wear today?

Where'd You Go?

You know I won't say sorry
You know I won't say sorry

I'm sitting here, nostalgic for my own place.
I miss sitting crooked on my chair, with the laptop at an angle away from the prying eyes of my parents.
I miss doing my hw on my desk in front of the window so I can smell the night.
I miss ignoring my hw when I'm too tired and jumping on my head, with my feet on the head and my head on the foot of the bed.
I miss going downstairs at 11:00 PM when everyone's asleep to get something to snack on so I can get through the night.
I miss waking up to my dad pouring water on my face at always around 5:40-6:00.
I miss hearing my mom yell at my little brothers for the fifty-ith time to get him up "I already gave you five minutes! I gave you TEN minutes! Get up! Now! Up!"
I miss going down after I'm ready to the kitchen to find my dad making my lunch and breakfast.
I miss my dad.
I miss my mom running downstairs to check that I'm not wearing anything 'stupid'.
I miss my mom.
I miss coming home to that familiar smell of my mom's cooking blended with Glade plug ins (Apple Pie)
I miss talking to my 13 year old brother about school
I miss my little brother.
I miss hearing my 10 year old brother run around the house, screaming.
But, he's with me right now. =]
I miss my home.
I miss my family.
I miss their hugs.
Their kisses.
I miss saying goodnight to them 'shabakhere'.
I miss their love more than anything.

Look Closer

I met a girl.

With big brown eyes
Thick black eyelashes
Scraggly eyebrows

I waved
She waved

The girl had

A scarf wrapped around her head
Long fingers with shaped nails
Thin body

I smiled
She smiled

The girl had

A face with round cheeks
Lips that curved in and out
Mocha complexion

I spoke
She spoke

The girl had

Small feet and small hands
A short height
Button nose

I raised my hand
She raised her hand

The girl had

A birth mark beneath her right eyebrow

I had a birth mark beneath my right eyebrow.

I shattered and cried
She stood intact smiling.

Come Back

I hope

To see your eyes fill with light
To hear your melodic voice sing
To feel your soft touch

Again.

I hope

You laugh openly
You love freely
You fly high

Again.

I hope

To see bars of sunlight fall over your face
To hear your whispers of secrets
To feel your warmth with hugs

Again.

I hope

You laugh freely
You love openly
You fly high

Again.

I hope

To find you

Again.

Way Away

Last night, on my way home from a party, my aunt was telling us a story and it went a little something like this:

Around 7-8 years ago, a terrible tragedy fell upon a family friend of mine. This person was going to a party with his family of one son and a wife. At that party they met their neighbors with whom they are close friends. Towards the end of the party, the son decided that he wanted to be dropped at home by the neighbors. The parents agreed. The neighbors left with the son 15 minutes sooner than the parents. Soon enough, the parents decided that it was time to leave too. They drove onto the freeway only to meet bumper-to-bumper traffic. They complained, they moaned, they wished they had taken the road. The deeper they drove into the freeway, the closer they got to the cause of the traffic; an accident. Soon enough, they spotted the flashing lights of an ambulance and police cars. And their neighbors' totaled car. There were two instant deaths among which was the son. He never reached the age of 21.

Do you see how important it is to always be appreciative for the things and people you have now instead of wanting something or someone new? How significant it is to never take things for granted? Because one day that one person you took for granted won't be there anymore and you'll regret not telling them you love them enough.
