sorry i haven't posted in a while. there's just been so much with marching band and my ork is really starting to build up now. we played at our first competition of the season last week. we were in group three(size) and we won first place. i mean our marching band is a very competative band but i really didn't think we'd get first. and we just played at our first football game. the people who attend them are fricken dumbasses. and they all yell at us cuz we're band geeks . . . our school is more known for our marching band than our football team anyway. they really suck. O.O . . . so that was my little mini rant. there's just so much time and practice and money that goes into this . . . very stressful. stuff with school is getting pretty hectic . . . i've just gotten used to the work load but it isn't nearly as much as i'll soon be getting. october will be one of my busiest months cuz of all the marching band competitions, except for march which is all the ensemble/concert competitions. but anyway, i really wanna focus a little of my attention away from school and music, cuz that's all i'm doing right now. i had a few projects i wanted to get done online before like the 3rd week of school . . . but that really hasn't happened. i know i november i'll be able to get a lot of crap done. i'll be home all day glued to this laptop. . . . hehe. haha! i'm a band geek, orch dork AND and computer nerd . . . +(^_^)+ so . . . that's basically it. i need to watch more anime . . . and eat more pocky. i really haven't been watching any anime lately . . . must fulfill my otaku needs!!!!!! LAWLZ okie dokies! *waves* bye!!! +(^_^)+

hey! sorry i haven't updated this week. school already started and with practices until 6, i barely had enough time for homework. so school started on wednesday . . . really not prepared for that. but i guess it went pretty well. my classes aren't as spread out as they were last year. but my homeroom's still in the bandroom and my lockers still there. but now i've gotten used to bringing everything to all my classes. if anything, i just hate the order of my classes . . . but i'll deal. my teachers aren't as bad as last years and they can actually teach!!! amazing! but the courses are kinda hard. i'm taking all honors courses and ap us history which is gonna be hell . . . *sigh* but i know if i focus, i'll get through it all. +(^_^)+ so . . . i guess that's it. god it was a bad idea to join marching band junior year. once orchestra rehearsals start in like 2 weeks, i'll be in school from 7:30 to 9. oh wells . . . +(^_^)+ for the record, i'd pick orchestra over band any day . . .

hey . . . sorry i haven't updated yet. i've been away at band camp and doing all that summer work for school. TT__TT band camp was hard!!! well, not that hard cuz i'm in pit and we were in a sectional for most of the time, but still. it was like 4 hours practices at a time, 2 or 3 times a day for only 5 days. it's a lot of practice. but i guess it was like a crash course in learning all the music and steps for marching. all we have to do now is tighten everything up. *sigh* still a lot of work though. TT__TT marching band is eating up my schedule!!! i have practically no time for anything else. T_T bye bye tai chi club . . . anyway . . . school's starting on wednesday . . . i still have some work to do. but my cousin will be staying over on weekdays for like the next 3 or 4 months. he's got an internship, but he actually gets paid like $18.50 an hour. the place is like 5 minutes from my house and he works from like 4 pm to 12 midnight. awww, i won't be able to see him at alll!!!! damn band. but the internship thingy is the thing his college does: alternating semesters of studying and internships. god i wish i was in college already!!! i really have nothing else to say . . . ummmms . . . lots of work . . . need school for something to do but not for practice. *GASP* i get to play my bass in orchestra!!! YAY!!! here's something i'd like to share with you guys: my cousin's working at some huntington's tutor thingy and one of her students is a 17 year old 8th grader. yup. 8th grade. 17 yrs old. anyway, he's some weird psychopath and one day he tells her, "you're short. i bet if you stack 2 midgets on top of eachother, they'd still be taller than you . . . " LAWLZ!!! holy crap i thought that was so fricken hilarious!!!! hehe ok so this was a really random post . . . *smiles* >_<

*looks around* is anybody still here? i mean, i know a couple of people are still kinda active . . . kinda feels lonely . . . feh. anyway, i'm starting to feel really nervous now. i've been in the pit for marching band, but it seems like i'm the only one who's not improving. i'm the only new member who was put on keyboards, and there's some really difficult stuff there, and the other new people got fairly easy parts, but still. it feels like i'm the only one who can't keep up. it's like i'm dragging the whole pit and i'm not working hard enough, which i think i am. *sigh* idk. that was just a little rant. but marching and is still stressing me out. you know, i really just wanna slam my face into the wall or something. i haven't started my summer reading or my history notes. i have 2 novels for english that i have to read and write responses to the journal entry thingies, and i've just started. but i separated the chapters and they sorta seem like an easy read . . . but still. i've started so late. and then the history notes . . . but i take fast notes anyway and i can do them after and camp . . . right. idk. i just can't believe i've wasted so much time. with all that said and done . . . my summer is almost coming to a close. just about two more weeks, well really only a week if you take away band camp. *sigh* i guess i can't wait for school, considering i have nothing else to do, except for all that work . . . hehe toodles!!! *waves*

Hey guys . . . sorry it took me so long to post. I�ve been kinda side-tracked. Besides, it�s been kinda hectic here at home. But I�ve been back home for nearly a week . . . meh. But while I was in the Philippines, I did a lot of observing . . . especially with my family. That sounds really weird. Like I was stalking them or something. But anyway, I�ve come to realize how obnoxious my dad�s family really is. I mean before, I just thought I never really knew them and that I really couldn�t judge them. But now that I�ve sorta kinda spent some time with them, I just think their annoying and I�m sick of them. They criticize everyone who isn�t living in manila. Like they they�re upper class or something. Really arrogant too. I never really spoke when we were with them. But at least now I know where my dad got all his annoying antics from . . . pfft! But then we also spent time with my lola and aunt and cousin their in the Philippines. My lola was living with us about 2 years ago, but left to stay in the Philippines for her knee operation. I think she�s like 92 right now. I loved being with her. But we decided to visit the Philippines just to see her, cuz the next time I could go won�t be until after college(another 6 yrs). But anyway, I had so much fun with my cousin and at my family�s school Sariaya Institute. Meh . . . I miss it there. I kinda wanna go back. You know the weirdest thing in the Philippines is the shopping. Like in any store of mall, there will be these sales associates just following you around, stalking you. Asking, (in tagalog though) hello ma�am, hello sir, can I help you? What size? Just offering you stuff. Nyeh . . . it�s kinda creepy. But everything is cheaper in the Philippines. And smaller. I found pants!!!!!!!!!! And they actually fit. +(^_^)+ oh and since I have like these mad tiny feets . . . I bought like 6 pairs of shoes. Yeah I know its kinda selfish of me, but I could resist and I probably won�t need to go shoe shopping for a couple of years since my feeties don�t grow. XP I know it doesn�t really sound like much, but in the 2 short weeks we were there in the Philippines, we did a lot. A lot of family visiting and stuff . . . and it was a good vacation. Oh! And I wanna clear this up. Early in this post I made it sound like I hate my dad�s entire side of the family. No. not really. There is just so much drama with them . . . I just don�t know them as well as my mom�s family. Besides, there are some cousins on my dad�s family that I do like. +(^_^)+ I miss my lola . . . XD. Hehe. Sorry for the kinda long post . . . *huggles*

hello!!! yes and this time i will go through with visiting myO more often . . . er just for another week before i leave again. +(^_^)+ sooooo . . . that last post looked really like some stupid rant. i just reread it and it just sounds like i'm complaining . . . alot. but idk. i'd just like to say one thing . . . i really really really miss the old myO and even the old theO. i've been doing quite some reading and clickity clicks where adam says that the new change is for the better, but i think the old version was better. it let the members take part in the site more than they are now. and it seemed more organized . . . idk. oh and i do have one question . . . well it seems that some people have mysteriously disappeared from my friends list. what happened to lovelife7(i think it was), Cotten Sheep and number15. i knew that some of the others have decided to abandon myO all together but i've been gone so long that i don't know . . . XP . . .. *waves* thanks for commenting guys. +(^_^)+

*sigh* hey guys . . . sorry i haven't posted in like forever . . . i know i said i would be able to be on myotaku everyday but that wasn't the case. school . . . hmmm . . . it really hasn't er wasn't going so well for me. i guess that instead of being obsessed with myotaku(like i was before) i got obsessed with music and made that the focus of my high school sophomore year career(that didn't make sense). but yeah. i was basically almost failing in all my classes except for orchestra. but that's all done now. but i guess it doesn't help now that i've joined marching band pit. it was easy at first but i'm getting so stressed out right now. and that's why i've decided not to do any summer tutoring this summer. *sigh* idk. things aren't going so well for me right now. just about a week ago, i had to go on a trip to vegas for a racelis family reunion. it was fine. i met and remet some family members. but i had to miss my bestfriend's sweet 16 and i felt so horrible. TT__TT but it was something out of my control. but while i was in vegas we saw an awesome performance of Toxic Audio which is basically a group of singers and beatbox instrumentalists. it was awesome!!! +(^_^)+ toxicaudio.com sorry i'm just relearning how to do all that html stuff again. anyway . . . awesome. +(^_^)+ so now we have to go on yet another trip. it's to the philippines cuz if we don't go now then the next time would be after college and we don't know if my grandmother will still be around then. so . . . that's it. idk what else. all i can say now is that i feel sort of . . . empty. idk. you can also find me here: facebook: amanda llamanzares myspace: freeqsta display name: Rin Lemonhead youtube: ox0freeqsta gaia: freeqsta i was gonna make buttons for them and make it all easier but i didn't have the time. but i will. . . . i don't know . . . i just don't know anymore . . . oh! there's my two videos down there. i played shell . . . yeah not so great but it's up.
