December 29:

BACK, babies! A lot of things has transpired in the pass week. Let's see if I can name a few. Okay, so that wasn't a lot, but I swear a lot has happened since the 22nd.

Ever since my encounter with DHTML and its awesome menus, I became hooked, so I had to find a way to implement that into my website. Lo and behold, a week later, I finally got one! And the best part is that it works on all browsers!! Man, I'm stoked. I'll be adding more sections later. What's that, it sucks? Well, too bad, I like it.
Oh yeah, I added more funny images.

December 19th marks a very important day. It was my birthday, and it snowed...again! That's the second time that it snowed on my birthday. I think I'll start counting now.

I've decided not to permanently apply the new navigation mainly for three reasons: I have a lot of content, so it took up a lot of space; it only looks as intended in Firefox, and the majority of people I know uses Internet Explorer; it still didn't look right in Firefox when you hover over some words. So I guess you're stuck with the old navigation for now until I can find one that fits my standards.

I know it's been a while since I've released a VB program, so here you go. The program is called Numerology, and it's based on a book I got when I was little. Although you don't see numbers in the interface, it's involved a lot in code. How does it work you ask? Enter your name, click Calculate, and it will try to guess your personality. You may also notice that all the results are simple sentences. Again, you have to keep in mind that I got it when I was little. Like all personality tests, the results may seem extremely vague or general. Anyway, enjoy!

I know Sang Nguyen is not my full name, but the result for it really sucks and is not true.

I think I'm going to redo the navigation once again. The new one is at the bottom, if you haven't already found out. If you use Firefox or Mozilla, you will notice the pop up menu in the navigation. If you're still using Internet Exploder...I mean Explorer, I recommend you switch to Firefox...TODAY! Anyway, this is the only page out of my entire site that uses this new navigation. Please please please, even if you don't like the new navigation, tell me your opinion, and what I could do to make it better. Thanks!!

By the way, my website is supposed to look like this (Note the pop up menu when I moused over "ROFL"; you can click on it to enlarge):
Correct desktop
...not this (Note the NOT pop up menu when I moused over "ROFL"; you can click on it to enlarge):
Incorrect desktop

Check out this awesome program I just found on the net! It predicts your current happiness level based on your mouse movements. The only reason I'm posting this program is that it correctly guessed mine! Check it out for yourself:

The file is hosted by me, so you don't have to worry about viruses or spyware or anything that will damage your computer.

I added one more picture to the funny images archive, so if you need a laugh, head over there now.
Awesome picture dissing Bush

UPDATE: The left / old navigation in the screenshots looks similar to the one you see on the games page. Ignore that.

December 18:

Whee! Winter break is finally here!! There are, of course, good things and bad things that come out of this. The good things are that school is over, and my stress level is significantly lowered. The bad things are the anticipation of my grades and having nothing to do. I guess I'll learn more computer stuff, and do a little bit of school stuff — yes, I'm a nerd / geek. Since school is over and all (and my birthday is tomorrow), I really have nothing else to discuss here, except my feelings about random stuff.

Okay, I haven't talked about this in a while, so here goes. My girl situation is now neutral. I've gotten over my crush mainly because I sensed that she doesn't wanna talk to me — oh well, her loss. I don't wanna type out the entire situation, so if you wanna know more, IM me.

December 10 / December 13:

December 13:

Monday sucks as usual, and today sucks even more because of the homework load, and some stress. Let's see, first period, I did nothing as usual, although I'll need to do something for the final exam. Second period, our group and to present, and of all the chances, we went last! I wish I could say "best for last", but unfortunately, my part of the presentation was really bad. Oh well. Speaking of history, I have around 100 pages of The Red Badge of Courage to read. Isn't that awesome? Third period, we read some Edgar Allen Poe stuff, which was interesting because of Kling's interpretation. Then in fourth, I had the math test. Let's just say that if I don't do any math reviewing today, I fail horribly. In 5th, we compiled our centers, and we practiced for the final exam listening portion. We also had to take notes, and I didn't do that. Frown. Nothing important in 6th for now.

Oh by the way, I got a new AIM screenname. My last one had too many numbers, and there were people who I did not want to talk to anymore. If you want to know it, IM me, and if I end up blocking you, then I don't like you.

For website updates, check below. As you can see, I crossed out the funny images part because I don't have enough time to resize all the pics, and code them into the funny images page. I guess it can wait until later this week, but it'll definately be before Friday. Enjoy the new games - I now have 30!

December 10th

FRIDAY!! w00t! I'll be happier next week, because of winter break...but it still depends on what I end up in my classes. I know I have an A in java, but I'm gonna try to get one without the 10 points. I don't think I'll ever be able to get an A in history, because no matter how hard I try, I keep making high B's on the tests. Hopefully, the project and final exam will bring my grade up. Also, I think the possibility of getting an A in LA and precalc. is gone because I fucked up the scarlet letter test, and I make stupid mistakes in math...a lot. I know I have an A in Spanish because we got to see our grades today. Finally, I currently don't have an A in physics, but I think I can get one with the final and the lab. So three A's and three B's is not bad, I think AP classes really help people's GPA's.

Site updates: I starting a forum. Until I can figure out the Admin Control Panel and how to make new topics and stuff, the link to it will not be released. Expect to see it on the site next week.

I think I'm gonna start adding my signature at the end of every post from now on, just to be cool. That's it for now. Later.

December 3:

Wow, I can't believe it's Friday. That means that I survived the first week back from Thanksgiving break...only 1.5 more weeks left. Let's count how many tests/quizzes/projects I have in that time, shall we? Ok, first period = three. Second = three. Third = three. Fourth = two. Fifth = two. Sixth = three. Grand total = 16. Yes, and that does include final exams. Things I have to do this weekend: start reading on The Red Badge of Courage, find A LOT more info for history, write LA essay, review for Spanish "spoken" final, and learn physics...that's all I can think of for now.
GIRLS SUCK THE COCK - interpret that however you want, either way it's true. Don't worry guys, I'm still straight. I don't know if this is just me, but girls are so complicated. Not like guys at all. I would think of some examples of this, but considering that it's 22:30 and I'm tired, I'm not doing to. Oh yeah, and one more person knows who I used to like, and if you're one of the four, and you're reading this, go ahead and tell her. I don't care anymore.
Website updates: Cool movie of the moment: http://www.malheur.be/data/media/11/arcondicionadoTOYOTA.wmv - Now this is what I call air conditioning.
That's all I can think of as of now. Later.

December 1:

Is it me, or is this the first time when the last three weeks of first semester really stressful? I don't know, it just seems that I've never had so many projects, tests, and quizzes jammed into 9.5 days. First period was relaxing as always, but I didn't make any progress on the project during second period. Maybe it's the groups, but I think I have to be more...exciting, or cheerful...around Elaine. I mean, around everyone else, I'm happy, but not around her. Gotta change that. I think I did well on the project in LA, but I'm not too confident on the defense paper...mostly because I tried to sound like I misinterpreted the assignment. I think I dominated the math free response...composite functions and interest stuff. I not gonna say "I know" because I'll end up jinxing myself...it always happens.
Why do teacher think they can cut you in the lunch line?? I mean, just because you have a FUCKING college degree does not give you the right to cut defenseless students. That's not right. I mean, if you think about it, teachers rank down there with the least earning jobs available. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate them teaching us, but just don't cut in line. They're like Hitler getting revenge because of what happened to them when they were younger. Sorry, it has happened to me two days in a row, and I needed a vent.
5th period was fun, mainly because of my center group. 6th was relaxing until the very end when we got our quizzes back, which I failed...again.

Updates: The only thing that I did today was that I made the line spacing bigger, for better readability. Yes, and I will apply the new style to the rest of the site when I have time.
