Neglectful Much?

Sorry, I've been so busy with school and such. I haven't really found the time to blog. But a lot has happened these couple of blogless days. Just to sum it all up I'll make a list:
-Parent drama
-Powderpuff
-School
-On and off crushes
-Great America

I will talk about one though. Great America. I thought it was pretty fun, but I was kind of disappointed. The Key Club rally totally killed the day. Sitting in the sun for 2 hours is not fun. We could've been riding lots of rides. But sadly, Top Gun ( the only ride I looked forward to riding) was CLOSED! Then Ed Alonzo's show is ONLY for stupid halloween haunt. And I wish I read the flyer they were handing out, we couldve gotten into halloween haunt for 20 dollars if we showed our day pass. But Sherry's too scared -__-. But the day was okay though. We got free drinks everytime we showed our wrist band :) Hello early diabetes haha.

Ah, school is just horrible. I can't keep awake in my classes. I despise school. This year I have the lowest GPA i've ever had. I have 5 B's and one A, thats awful in asian standards haha.

I can't wait for halloween. Andrea is hosting a party just for RAAKS. Lotsa food, movies, games, and trick or treating :) I'm going to be a 1950's Pin Up Sailor girl, except less slutty haha. Thank goodness I thought of just buying the seperate pieces at the mall instead of that poorly put together costume at party city. Mine looks way more authentic, better, and was VERY cheap. I got the stripped shirt for 5 bucks, and the pencil skirt for, can you believe it, 2 dollars! Can't wait :)

Little advertisement:
Need tee shirts for an event your hosting or for your organization ot shirts for just anything?
If you answered yes to one of those, InsaneInk is the one to go to. Please contact me at
allisonmariechan@gmail.com and your order will be send to my team InMotion. You won't be disappointed :)

And so concludes my blog. Who know's when I'll blog next time? ;)

Magical Mayhem



So lately, the world of magic has greatly intruiged me. It all started after I watched Ed Alonzo at Great America perform. His combination of comedy and magic really wowed me. After seeing his performance, I wanted to meet him because he was signing after the show, but my anxious little brother didn't want to wait in line, so we left. I'm kicking myself right now, for missing this chance to meet an actual celebrity. If you didn't recognize his name or picture now, you might remember him as Max the diner owner of The Max on the hit TV show Saved By The Bell. He's going to be at Great America until September 1st. Then he's coming back again to Santa Clara to perform at the Halloween Haunt. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to meet him again. I've been learning simple magic tricks lately. It definetely helps the time pass. So far I've learned 2 coin tricks and 2 card tricks. I've noticed by trying to learn these tricks, my hands are very small. I can't palm coins in my hand due to the lack of fat being able to grip it. And I cannot fully perform the "shapeshifter" trick because the gap between my thumb and index finger is so small.
Other than Ed Alonzo, I am also a big fan of Criss Angel. His stunts and illusions are very over the top amazing, whereas Ed's speciality is in Comedy and he's a pretty good magician. When I went to Las Vegas last winter, I visited the Luxor in hopes of catching a glimpse of Criss. But to my dismay,they didn't start filming the 3rd season until January 3rd, which was after we were heading back home. So I was pretty bummed but just lucky enough to see his production office. I'll be happy to meet either one some day. I also want to visit the Magic Castle, but that's membership only. Oh well, maybe when I'm older right?

Summer!

Hm so basically I haven't been blogging everysingle day. But on the plus side, it's because I've been occupied for once. So last saturday, my family & I decided to go swimming. It brought my parents so much closer. The week before they barely acknowledged the others prescence. Then after my family was done swimming I invited some of my friends over to go swimming. It was funny becasue we heard thunder and had doubts about going swimming. But we did anyway. Took some pictures by the pool and stuff. And dranks pink lemonade in ice cream glasses. It was all because Julie wanted to take a picture in the jacuzzi. I caught up on the latests with everyone, and we just sat, ate, watched the monkees, and played wii. When Sherry left. Kristine, Julie & I made a youtube video called The Monkees Spoof. It's pretty cool you should check it out.

Sunday went to Ikea, and started looking around for bedroom ideas. My mom will not permit me to paint my room so we were just looking for some stuff to stick on my wall. At first I wanted my room to be super colorful. But due to not painting the walls, I'm sticking strictly to Black&white. So we bought these 5 little mirrors to stick above my bed. We were about to buy some fabric with flower shilloutes and stickers but I wasn't too sure. My mom wouldnt let me get a rug either -__-. But She said next time we'll buy this really cute book shelf thats black with white flowers and leaves. I can't wait for the finished project.

Aside from dreaming about my dream room, I've been cleaning basically everysingle day. I know I'm such a good girl :). But I think it's because I'm avoiding my English AP homework. I'm currently reading The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. It's pretty interessting. I haven't even finished chapter one, but I am determined to finish that chapter by tonight.

So I don't know what the rest of my plans are for the summer. Probably going to Great America on July 4th with my aunt. So I must say goodbye and end it here. I should finish the rest of chapter one.

Au revoir.
