It's the last day of this year.

Today is the last day of the year! So exciting. I wonder what the new year will bring me?

Maybe a new dog? A little sister/brother? A bigger house? Or maybe my first cosplay outfit?

Who knows?

Im sad to see this year go, but who knows what this year will bring?

I guess I better start getting ready. I have to finish cleaning my room, I just wanted to get a quick blog.

See you later, after 12 pm (east coast).

The 'Talk'

I think today is the day, the day I talk to my moms about my birth parents (bp).

Its not that Im not allowed to but I dont want to hurt my moms feelings by doing so.

Maybe they dont think I love them when they ask that. Thats not true I love them and I couldnt imagine life without Sofia and Harumi. They showed me what real pure love is and I just love them which is why I never ask questions about my bp.

Another bump is maybe my moms dont want me finding out too much about her and running away to Hawaii to live with my birth mom and dad. But I would never do that. Ill miss my moms way too much.

I will love to see them one day, but not until Im ready and maybe just maybe Im not....

The kid who got a job at Christmas.

Wow its been a while since I wrote here.

Ive been busy with the holidays and havent had time to post her.

First, Christmas was awesomesauce. I got alot of really nice gifts. I got some clothes, 2 new dolls and a shiny new superman laptop cling. But wait I dont have a laptop right? Oh no my cyber friend I do have one. I have a new laptop that is perfect for my superman cling.

So since I have the freedom of wireless computing I should be able to write more (hey who knows it I may even get some blog followers) so my friends will have something boss to read, yup that was 70's slang. Just got done watching like 4 hours of That 70's show.

Now onto what my friends got for the holidays.

Anais is a very lucky duck she convinced my Uncle (her dad) to let her convert the 2nd half of the families basement at her house into a sewing room.
Zinnia's parents planned a trip for her and her family to go to India next year. She was sooooo happy because she has been there twice in her whole life.

Charlie got a new cell phone. I think its a iPhone. She hasnt put it down so Im unsure what type of phone it is.

Axel got a job. Yea, a job. His mom and dad (Charlie's parents also) said that they are sick of buying him gas and paying his insurance so after the holidays he starts his job at his dads factory. They also got him a new guitar.

Well I hate to to type a run but Charlie is standing over me texting away and I hate that clinking of the on screen keyboard.

Have a save and Happy New Year

-Ushio Valentine-Okazaki

Future cos player here.

Im still having mouth trouble, so I havent been in the best mood to write but I do have some good news.

And its awesome news!

Im on the hunt (with my moms' okay) for my first cos play outfit!

Yay! But when I told my mom who it was she made this face, I swear O.o. So I had to show her Fionna from Adventure Time.

She looked at the mini skirt and said something in spanish. My mom, Harumi said that is one little skirt and I must wear shorts and/or flesh tone stockings under it.

Okay, fine with me. Im just happy I get to finally cos play and its as a awesomesauce, kick butt, girl like Fionna.

Shes from the gender-swapped episode/fanfiction of Adventure Time which is one of my favorite cartoon shows.

So next year hopefully ill be able to post pictures of my outfit and pictures of me.

Mom just called me, my tacos must me done. Peace gotta eat.

How I saved Miku with math!

Sorry I havent written in a while. I havent been feeling very well lately.

My wisdom teeth are coming in and it hurts, badly. It's been two days and Im ready to just pull them out but mom (Harumi) says that its going to hurt and that I should be brave and deal with the pain. She knows how much I want to keep all four of them.

So since it like a horse is hitting me in the mouth everytime my top and bottom teeth meet I really cant eat anything or talk. So I stayed home today and ate oatmeal all day.

My friends came by after school today. Zinnia brought me a grass shake. I think she got it from the new vegan place. I nicely took it and sipped it. It tasted pretty good, unlike how I thought it would taste. Charlie brought me a scarf. How sweet of her. She said that Axel helped her make it. Im not sure if that makes me like it more or less knowibg that Axel touched it. My cousin, Anais gave me my homework and soup from her dad (my uncle). I wasnt hungry so I didnt eat it just yet. But she made me start my homework. She hung Hatsune Miku out the window by her twin (pig)tails.

What was suppose to do? I love my plushy Miku. Mom got it all the way from Japan. So she means the world to me. I quickly jumped out the bed and ran to the window grabbing Miku. I sat her down on my desk and sat in my chair and started my math homework.

Which is what Im suppose to doing. My mom is coming, gotta go.

Tacos at the Gallery

Im happy to report that thier has been no more kissing on my locker, that I know of.

Anyways today I went to the Gallery at Market East. Its marketed as the 'Urban' mall. So thats what we call it, the Urban mall or the Gallery.

My moms finally let me go to the mall with Zinnia, Anais, Charlie and her brother Axel. So we decided to go the Urban mall. But first we had to take the bus luckily after we (I) whined to Axel he gave us a ride and had to hang around to babysit (she didnt like that at all) Charlie.

When we finally got there it was a loaded with teens. We went to Charlie's favorite store, Five & Below. Shes a accessories lover. As soon as we entered the store she made a nose dive to the scarfs and tote bags. Zinnia ran to the sports section for some Eagles gear (her dad is a huge eagles fan) A rainbow zebra printed pillow stole Anais away from us which left me alone with Mr. Im-to-cool-for-hair-cuts.

I mean his hair is so long and messy brown that I swear he cant see sometimes. Its a miracle that he can even drive.

Meanwhile after a hour and 75 dollars later we the store with two blue bags.

Anais suggested that we go to bath and works next. Zinni and Charlie agreed and they all looked at me, they knew I hate the way that store smell. It smells way TOO good in there. When all of the scents mixed it smells really bad.

I explained why I hated Bath and Body works as we walked there but they didnt listen they were way to busy being teenaged girls and giggling at something.

I waited on the bench outside the store while they shopped. In a half-hour they left the store and went to the food court I was craving for some mexican food so I went to the taco bell. I brought like 3 tacos and had a large soda.

Everyone ended up going to different places to eat in the food court. Zinnia had a greek salad, Anais had general tao chicken, Charlie had a slice of cheese pizza and Axel had a burger, fries and a shake.

After we all got finished eatting we all when to gamestop. The girls didnt want to come in but Axel did. Side note he has really good taste in games. Maybe he isnt that bad?

We each got a few games, I got The Other M, Twightlight Princess and Sims 3 (again). He picked up Modern Warfare and Skyward Sword. He doesnt know it but Im soooo borrowing both of his cames.

We made a few more laps around the store and made a few of those picture key chains before grabbing a milkshake and leaving to go home.

I secretly picked up gifts for my friends which is why this story is missing stores we went to and what I got isnt listed.

Im off to wrap them now and slip them under the tree.

Highschool- Rated T For Teens

It appears the 'thing' in highschool is having a boyfriend.

And by boyfriends I dont mean friends that just happen to be dudes. I mean boyfriend boyfriends, as in guys that they kiss.

Bleh, I could never ever kiss a guy. Let alone kiss a guy at school, in front of everyone. O.o.

These girls are bold, and apparently no one ever told me that high school was rated T for Teen.

Like today I was a running a little late for history. I was a bit bummed because its my most favorite subject, ever. So when I got to my locker two upper classmen were all over it sucking face! Ewwww ewww and double ewwww.

So had to use my super long pencil to poke them off my locker. After about 5 minutes of poking they finally came up for air, she mumbled something and they both left.

Whatever, my locker is gross and smells of Axe bodyspray and annoying foral perfume.

Yuck, tommorrow im going back there with a sign declaration my locker a 'Suck-face free zone'

And oh yeah, I avoided my locker for the rest of day.

See ya tommorrow after school.

Giving Thanks.

I give thanks to my faith, for giving me something to believe in.

I give thanks to my mothers, they showed me what true love is.

I give thanks for my friends, they give me everlasting friendship.

I give thanks to my house, it has provided me with a happy warm home.

I give thanks to my heart, for letting my family and friends a place to live.

I give thanks for all of you, my readers for giving me a place to tell my story.

Have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. Dont forgive to give thanks.

Thinking of Thanksgiving and all the yummy dishes Im thankful for.

Tommorow all my friends and thier familes will come over to our place for dinner.

After all it is our year to host the dinner. Every year for as long as I can remember one of our familes host Thanksgiving dinner at their house.

Last year we had dinner at The Bhandari's house. Boy, Mrs B sure can cook. We had traditional turkey and some of the side dishes were food from India where Zinnia's parents are from. My favorite of the dishes was Chooze Aur Chauli Ka Milap (thanks for the spelling help Zinny), it was really good. It was chicken and beens but it had really spicy spices (I love spice) and I love chicken. They also had this yummy dessert called Kheer, its a type of rice pudding.

Year before last we went to The Valentine's household. Anais' mom is french and her dad is cuban. So had a bit of both cultures. From france we had Civet de Cerf, its deer meat also known as Venison. It was really good and tastes way better than beef. A cuban dish we had was Boniatillo which is a Sweet Potato Pudding. It was so good, I beg m.o.m. to make it all the time.

This year its our turn and I know we will have great food. My mom is japanese and my other mom is cuban. So the food will be amazing. What are we cooking? Its a surprise. Tune in tommorow to find out.

Turkey day is tommorow!
Gobble Gobble Buddies.

Questions I really need answers to.

Adoption

Im sure its no surprise that I was adopted. I dont look like either of my parents.

Even though I dont look exactly like them I do carry some of thier looks. My mom Sofia is cuban and has tanned skin like mines and I have almond shaped eyes like my asian mom, Harumi.

Im not too sure about what my birth parents looks like. All I do know is that they had me at a super young age and thought that another family could take care of me better. You know like Caitlyn from teen mom, carly lives with a family that takes good care of her and even though they miss her they knew that is was best for her to live with another family. Carly's parents was,in high school, much like mines when her mom got pregnant with her and even though it was hard and they carried alot they knew that carly would make that family very happy.

Maybe my mom that I would make a family very happy.

And they were right.

But I sometimes wonder, Who are they? Do they miss me? Do they have other kids? What do they look like? Is there a way I can talk to them? Maybe even see them?

All I have now is questions, one day Ill have answers.

Ushio Valentine-Okazaki

The love between a girl and QR codes.

Hai =^.^=

Today Im feeling happy as geek in a comic con. Its true because Ill be a happy little geek if I could to one. But m.o.m. (my other mom, Sofia Valentine) says 'Your way too young'.

Too keep me from bothering m.o.m. my mom (Harumi Okazaki) got me my very own subscription to Game Informer magazine!

Game Informer is a game magazine that reviews games, gives sneak peeks to new games and gives its readers the inside scoop on video games and movies and such.

I mean its just awesome! Its even has my name on it. Normally mail comes her with my moms name on it but I now have a magazine that comes here for me GI (game informer)!

I think I spent a hour looking at it. Because I read to much manga, I tend to read everything back cover first.

Anyways when I finally got to the front of the magazine and seen a QR code! I freaking love QR codes! QR codes are freaky looking square like codes that send you to a website or webpage when you scan it with a barcode app on your smartphone.

So when I seen it I jumped right off the bed and ran to my book bag to find my smartphone (it was all the way in the bottom of my bag under my Miku manga). I yelled loudly and went though my phone's app drawer and couldnt find it.

Darn, that means someone, (Zinnia) deleted it. She says I spend to much time inside the house with my phone.

So here I am now waiting for my phone to download the app so I can see where the QR code sends me.

See ya later.
=^-^=

How my blog got its name.

Hey, Ushio here.

Im not too sure why I said that. As if someone else would be here instead of me. This is Ushi's Story after all.

Speaking of my blog name, I should explain it.

Most teens my age dont know about truely retro gaming. I do, because Im not like most teens my age. My mom (Harumi) is really into gaming and we play of the games that she enjoyed playing as a child.

Anywho, one of my favorite systems to play with my mom is the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System), it came out in the 80's one of my favorite decades. Our most favorite game to play is Super Mario Brothers. As we grew I fell in love with nintendo and learned more about the systems and characters and instantly fell in love with Yoshi.

Yoshi had a game called Yoshi's Story and I love it. I play it from time to time and decided that Yoshi and Ushi sound similar.

You get it? :)

Just like the game told us Yoshi's story this blog will tell you Ushi's story.

Geekery, its a word I think.

Hey, I have spent all day drooling over these awesauce buttons on etsy!

I know most kids my age shop at, uhhh wherever kids my age shop, I shop at etsy and second-hand shops. I have a kinda home grown sense of style.

Anyhow I was just surfing the web and I found these mathematical mini buttons for one of my favorite tv shows. What time is it? Its ADVENTURE TIME!!!

I know, right. The seller even had Fiona and Cake from the fanfiction the Ice King wrote (that episode was awesome by the way).

Tbe same seller also had buttons from Scott Pilgrim vs The World. Its a whole bunch of jokes from the movie like the 'pee' bar and the funniest joke 'Im in lesbians with you'. Scott said that one by mistake, Ramona makes him all silly and tongue tied.

Whoa, that was a huge Geekery overload. Gotta rest up for American Dad tonight.

See ya tomorrow same time same place.

Well maybe not the same time but for sure the same place.

Blogging, all the cool kids are doing it.

Well all the cool kids but me right?

Anyhow, Hello cyber world Im Ushio and this is my very first blog entry. As a matter of fact this is also my very first blog seeing that Im a little behind of whats 'hip'.

Hey late is better than never right? Oh I suppose that I should I tell you a little about me. My name is Ushio Valentine-Okazaki. I have last names because I was adopted and I have both of my moms last names.

But more on my extended well blended family later. Ill be back here later, Anais finally decided to come by.

Thanks for reading, gotta go.
