I have a new blogger's resolution. What's that? Pretty similar to a New Year's Resolution, except that this one doesn't have a set date. I want to set these resolutions to make my blog more eventful, and I want to improve my blogging. So my resolution this time is to actually blog about something. If you're wondering about what the heck I'm saying, it means that I want to blog about something other than daily happenings in my life. I mean, I don't believe a blog is a diary; there's a difference between the two.
So I need a topic to blog about every time. I will still blog my life, if there's anything particularly interesting. But blogs are mostly supposed to be useful things, and I don't find writing in a diary like some little girl really interesting. People like to read deep, intense things. Not light topics like what happened to me this or that day.
Well, just wanted to post up my blogger's resolution. ^^

Ugh, it's been nearly one month since I made my last post...I figure I have to at least post something in October. Otherwise, when I grow old and read this blog, this part of my memory will be missing.
Well, what should I say? Too much happened between then and now, I feel like I'm trying uselessly to fill a hole too deep. Did I mention that my grandma died? I don't know if I said it, but I'm kind of sad and kind of happy. It hurts to lose someone you love. There were these two weeks in October that was just pure bad luck. Tons of people died that week, and I was beginning to think some kind of devil was working behind the scenes.
Let's see...my grandma died first, on Thursday. The following Monday, Mrs. Jack died. She had pancreatic cancer, can you believe it? She was the principal of Hopkins in the two years that I went there, 7th and 8th grade. The last image I have of her is walking around the school grounds, carrying a walkie-talkie and giving detentions/paper pickups to the kids who were goofing off. My whole freshman class of 2012 was extremely shocked. We were all sort of blanked out for a moment. "OMG" was on everyone's faces. Then, we heard about this 2007 graduate of Mission named Laura White who committed suicide. Lastly, Collette, my Debate Club vice president, is diagnosed with lung cancer.
Talk about the ironic. Two people have their lives taken away unfairly, one takes her own life 'cause she hates it, and the last one has the door of death opened for her. All in a few weeks' times. Before, I never experienced a tragedy in my life. Now, all of a sudden, all these things happen. It's a bit amusing, if you think about lightly. It's depressing, if you think about it deeply. Well, I guess everything's value is always determined by the way people look at it anyways.
With the darkest of the dark aside, I have to say that I think keeping grades high is a lot of stress. Geez, you can't leave your studies for even a moment, lest you want it to drop like crazy.
I'm getting random now, ahaha. Did I mention that I'm really into Jay Chou's songs right now? It's nice to relax and listen to music once in a while.
