Warm-up
ok... so my thoughts today. you know i really hate this keyboard that i am typing on right now. The keys are just dumb. its so hard to type. Seriously! The keys feels so sticky. Its like someone had pour jelly on it or sometime...gosh...I'm hungry...we just moved over the weekend...and i miss my house a lot. A LOT. its only been fours years that i had my own room and it was the most wonderful thing ever. But now i have to go back to sharing a room with my two little horrible monsters. I'm going to miss locking myself in my rooms for hours just listening to music or just reading myself away into my little UTOPIA world with flying carpets. Last week when i was taking all my art work of the walls it was just horrible. Every piece taken down shots a sharp stab through my heart. You know the kind you get when someone breaks up with you and feel like you can't breathe and your heart is just fighting to beat but it can't....ugh...i'll continue later....TOODLESxx------------------------> (-_^)

The Visit
The Glowing pearl moon floats high, as a soft breeze blows through the curtains. Slowly, drifting of to sleep, I saw her, pale, floating toward me. A sharp chill penetrates my body making my heart beat hysterically. Dressed in black, with a cold hand at my neck, she leans down, face to face with mine.
The Visits v1
A glowing pearl moon floats high, as a soft breeze through the curtains. Slowing drifting to sleep, I saw her, pale, moving towards me. A chill penetrates my body, chest tightening, and my heart beats hysterically. All dressed in black with red and green slashes flowing down her front. The traditional outfit of the dead.

The Roller Coaster Ride v3
21 months already and
Yet…
I haven’t once told you how I felt about
Our little
roller coaster ride
Of this relationship
At times it wonderful
like those humid summer days
on my porch sipping on
homemade honeydew bubble tea
Each sip of the cool, icy, refreshing drink flood
over our hot
sweaty
body
But…
Sometimes it s just not the best…
Not at all…
Those Good and Plenty candy
Its smooth white pearly outside
Looks so good around its rod-shape
Until…
You get into the center
Its nasty
dark
rubbery other half
Greets you with a disturbing smirk
That makes you go spitting it all out, almost unaware
That your tongue might be coming out along with it, too
so you see where I am going at?
Probably not
You are slow as a slug
When its gets to our relationship stuff
F…I…N…E!!!
my patience is leaking out
This relationship is no longer near the best
Yes I confess
It’s hard to stick up to you and your pathetic self
You may say that I don’t understand you
An ugly color drink with an amazing taste
But you don’t understand me too
amazing taste
s…l…o…w…l…y…
turning sour, watery, and bitter
mixing honey or sugar with it can’t solve it
I’m tired of being that doll on the shelf
Or that picture on your wall
The only attention I receive
is a smile here and there every time you walk past
or when your friends are no longer there to give you attention
you then come to me for it
Sometimes…a girl can only take it to a certain extent
Before she begins to break down
Saying that 8 letter phrase
That has been used a little too many times
Is not going to solve anything
A mosquito bite
That will later comes back around to haunt you
So what will it be
Taking a step up and fix the issue
Or turn back around and let
It trample you down

You know like those truffles that I love so much
Until it gets to the center piece
The crunchy outer part
Then the sweet warm creamy chocolate filling
but the little almond in the center just cuts
you off from the whole dreamy sensation
so you see where I am getting at?
Probably not
You are slow as a slug
When its gets to our relationship stuff
F…I…N…E!!!
No more being nice
This relationship is no longer near the best no more
Yes I confess
Its hard to stick up to you and your pathetic self

what i needed to say V.1
Losing Control
i had enough
with all that
yelling,
shouting,
and rules
i hate all the
you cant do this, you can't do that
why target me
is it just because i'm the daughter
i'm just as valuable as all sons
why exclude me from
the games
the funs
i understand i'm a girl
not just a girl
but a daughter of a strict culture
i understand the rules
but
why not give me chance
to prove to you that
i, too, can do as much as your sons
just name it and i will try
but why aren't you seeing any of this in me
i'm disgusted to be placed in the same group with them
the many other daughters...

Struggle Soon to End
To those whom it may concern......LOL.
sorry. ok well anyways reading this poem may confuse you so
i would like to tell you a little of what this poem is about...nah.
just read it.
Struggle Soon to End
Bombs fill the ground, inside and out,
as petrified cries fill the jungle
All nine of my grandmother’s children follow behind her
A mother duck
leading her ducklings
Night falls
everyone moves quickly, quietly
Groups of midnight bats they are
Blinded, cold, and empty
Infants were drugged to sleep
sometimes even death
with over load
as their muffle cries dies
Older ones walks weakly
Their body emaciated and bellies round
not with food, but
Malnutrition
All husbands risks their lives
and most wives soon becomes widows
Mekong River, the yellow river of death
to many Hmong
came into view
Many groups rushes to go across
But she stays behind
holding her little children back
a mother duck preventing her ducklings
from entering the large pool of unpredictable water
Those who make it through were lucky
Some just sinks down
Dissolving
into the gruesome river
A step forward
Death greets her
with laughter
Brushing the sweat beads on her forehead
Her eyes stings and
cheeks cool on the areas with
tearstained tracks
A step backward and
Death greets her from behind
hungry and excited
Ready to swallow her in
A partner lost and nine children to feed
She takes the risk to go forward
hopping for the best
They swim across with fear and
a promise
Never to turn back
Old, exhausted and with a new home now
Her nine little ducklings
Now parents
To their own little ducklings
but this better life was not complete
Father duck was needed
To hold the family’s name and
Reverence
One score drifts by
Slowly
News arrived
Their father is
still alive
Living across the sea
He too search for his family
The family reunites
No longer they struggle alone
But together they work
Replacing the unfortunate past with
A sanguine future
what do you think? long huh?...i call it a peice of art...aha!

UPDATED PLAY
SILENT LOVE
Characters
Cecelia- An average girl who has a crush on Jin. She is smart, loves to write, and sensitive.
Jin- He is one of the hottest male friends of Cecelia. Many girls are after him. Although many girls like him, he has a thing for Petchula.
Petchula- She is a gorgeous and rich young lady and has everything every girl may want. However, she is not the brightest girl out there.
Leonardo- He is the clown of his group of friends. Being the funny one of the group he is very intelligent, social, sweet, and very handsome. Leonardo has a deep crush on Cecelia and has a lot of jealousy towards other guys who talks to her. However, she is disgusted by the way he tries to get her attention.
Cecelia sits on the comfy black leather sofa of the living room in the apartment and types away a mini-play on her laptop. The heat coming from the fireplace increases her anxiety of not going to be able to finish her story on time for the play-writing contest. Jin sits to the left of her chatting away to Petchula as she paints her nails. On the right, sits Leonard who is watching You Tube videos on his laptop.
CECELIA
[Sits cross-legged on the comfy black leather sofa typing away.] Okay. I’m concentrating, concentrating, concentrating. [Two sentences were only typed on the screen.] Ah! [Screams]…Darn it woman! Concentrate. Relax. Clear your mind of all stress. You have to write this play. Make it good and you shall be awarded with the best play!
JIN
[Looks over to where Cecelia was sitting and give her a look] Are you taking to yourself? [Laughs]
CECELIA
[Blushes deeply] Umm…[Pauses] No I was just thinking out loud. Sorry for bothering you all.
JIN
[Looks over to Cecelia and smile] It’s all cool. If you need any help just ask. I have nothing much to do anyway.
CECELIA
[Smiles] Okay. Thanks Jin. [Knowing that she has Jin’s attention for this sort second she is thinking quick for another topic to talk about.] Oh…Hey Jin-
PETCHULA
[Cuts Cecelia off as she sense that Jin is being distracted and she is not receiving all the attention.] Jin, Hon, look at my nails here. [Jin turns toward her.] Do you think this look good enough yet? I feel like the color just doesn’t go together. [She moves closer to Jin and places her hands on his laps. Looks over to Cecelia and smiles. She knows that she has Jin’s attention now and Cecelia is jealous.]
JIN
[His heart pounds with excitement as her hands rub on his laps.] Um…ugh…yes. [Swallows.] It looks great on you though.
LEO
[Looks up from his laptop to the three.] Dude man…[laughs] what’s up? It seems like you’re wetting your pants over there. [Looks over Cecelia and stop. He can sense her pain.]
CECELIA
[Turns away from Jin and Petchula. Her heart pounds loudly, she tries to concentrate back to her laptop and types away. Sigh.]
JIN
[Turns back to Cecelia.] Hey, what was it that you were saying a second ago.
LEO
[Cuts into what Cecelia was going to say] She was going to tell you how much she loves my smile and that you should practice trying to smile like me. [Shoots over a smile to Cecelia and wink.] Am I right?
CECELIA
[Disgusted with Leo and shoots over to him a look of disgust] No! Can you just shut up for once? Gosh! I was asking Jin if he knows any love story that I can simply put into a play. [Turns to Jin] Do you?
PETCHULA
[Looks up] You know what Leo maybe Cecelia does have feelings for you. Look at how she blushes before answering you. [Filing her nails] Who knows…you both could be a great couple. You two are both nerds and both weird. [Laughs silently to herself]
CECELIA
[Turns red and looks back to screen of the computer] We have nothing together.
LEO
[Got up and walks over to the table in middle of the room. Pours himself some water and turn to Petchula] Well you know what Petchula? Maybe we would make a perfect couple. Unlike you and Jin. You have no brains and he does. Wonder how that is going to work out? [Laughs out loudly]
PETCHULA
[Slams the nail filer on the sofa and stands up.] Hey you watch it. Do you know who you are talking to too like that! Ugh… I can just-
JIN
[Stands up and puts hands around Petchula and pull her back down.] Hey. Hey. Be nice.
PETCHULA
[Sits down and stare right into Jin’s eye.] Jin did you see how that pathetic friend of yours is talking to me? [Looks over to Leo and nods toward him.] Did you? He is not [exaggerates on the “not”] showing me any respect at all. I am not happy with that!
CECELIA
[Giggles a little and shakes her head.]
LEO
[Looks over and see Cecelia giggle. This made him proud of himself. He walks back to his laptop.] Hey I was just only kidding. Chill Petchula. You’re turning red. Its not going to match you nails color. [Laughs] No need to take offense so soon.
PETCHULA
[Glares at Leo and takes in a deep breathe and shoots a deadly look at Cecelia.]
JIN
[Puts his arm around Petchula and looks at her.] He is just kidding. [Lifts up her chin and stares into her eyes.] You look beautiful.
PETCHULA
[Smiles] Fine. But is my face turning red? [Pats her cheek softly and digs in her purse for a mirror.]
LEO
[Looks at Petcuhla and then to Jin. He tilts his head and gives Jin a nod. Jin looks back, smiles, and just shrugs his shoulders.]
CECELIA
[Feels a little pain creepy inside her heart. She shrugs it off.] Hey Jin as I was asking you a while ago, do you know of any love story?
LEO
[Smiles] Hey I know of one how about you write.
CECELIA
[Turns to Leo] Was I talking to you?
LEO
[Puts down his laptop and walks over to Cecelia.] Of course you are gorgeous. You were looking at me when you were talking weren’t you. [Laughs and sits on the arm of the leather chair.]
CECELIA
[Sits back a little further from Leo as leans towards her smiling. She feels nervous.] No I wasn’t. [Silently she thinks to herself of how good he smells. Shakes her head. Pushes him away.] Move! Go back to where you are sitting.
LEO
[Leans closer and smiles.] Yes you are. [He notice her blushing makes her so beautiful.]
Ou…spicy…I like.
CECELIA
[Pushes him away] Ugh I hate you!
LEO
[Moves back and stands up] Of course you don’t. [Laughs silently to himself as he walks back to his laptop.]
PETCHULA
[Looking down at nails.] Please, the two of you go flirt somewhere else. How embarrassing. [Waves painted nails in the air.]
JIN
[Looks at everyone and then to Cecelia] Um…I’m not sure. I don’t know. Love…[Looks up to the ceiling and leans back placing both his hand behind his head]
PETCHULA
[Extending her hands on and tilts her head to the side] I do. How about you write about yourself. That’ll be interesting. Some girls just don’t get it that they need to back off. They just try too hard for the guy. [Leans her head on Jin’s chest] That is just embarrassing.
JIN
[Looks at Petchula with a serious face] That’s enough stop it.
PETCHULA
[Sits back up] No! [Sensing that she has everyone’s a attention she stand up with one of her delicately painted nails on one hips and the other pointing at Cecelia] It’s the truth. I mean just look at her. She is obvious trying to get your attention when she knows clearly you are all mine. Who does she think she is? [Hand gesturing Cecelia] Look at her hair, the way she dress-
CECELIA
[Embarrassed and eyes filled with tears she begins to gather all her stuff into her bag]
LEO
[Sees the hurt in Cecelia’s eyes] Well Cecelia, you can clearly write about some girls who claim that certain things are theirs but don’t even know that their overly heavy self-confidence is making them incomparable to the less noticeable girls.
JIN
[Annoyed with both Leo and Petchula now sit right up] Stop it the two of you!
PETCHULA
[Stands up and Screams] Ahh!!…I can’t take it anymore! Cecelia tell you stupid boyfriend to stop it. [Turns to Jin who just sits and stares back at her] Jin I am not happy at all!
LEO
[Laughs out loudly and types on the computer.] You’re hilarious.
CECELIA
[Stands up with all her stuff ready to leave]
JIN
[Stands up after Cecelia] Where are you going? You still need my help?
PETCHULA
[Stands up and pull Jin down beside her] Where are you going? Sit back down.
CECELIA
[Look from Jin to Petchula] Forget it. I don’t need anyone’s help. [Turns and walk off to her room]
PETCHULA
[Shouts after Cecelia while holding on to the arm of Jin] Go then. You and your stupid nerdy self shouldn’t be staying here anyway.
LEO
[Stands up] Looks who talking. This is not even you apartment. [Walks off after Cecelia]
PETCHULA
[Stands up and screams after Leo] Ah...come back here you idiot.
JIN
[Looks up at Petchula] Can you just stop it?
PETCHULA
[Smirks]
This is in Cecelia’s room
CECELIA
[Opens the door and throws her stuff on floor. She walks over to the mirror and takes a look at herself. Sits down on the stool and covers her face. Silently she cries to herself]
LEO
[Knocks on the door] Can I come in? [Opens the door and walks in. Sees Cecelia crying in front of the mirror] what’s wrong?
CECELIA
[Wipes her eyes and cheeks quickly] Go away. Why do you always have to comment on everything? That was not even funny.
LEO
[Sit on the bed beside Cecelia] Why are you so stupid? You never know what to say back.
CECELIA
[Turns and look straight into Leo’s eyes] That is who I am. I don’t need help with anything. [Turns and look at herself in the mirror again] Go away. I don’t want to see you.
LEO
[Stand up]
Do you really like him that much?
CECELIA
[Looks down and answers quietly] No.
LEO
[Sits back down on the bed again] Then why are you crying like that?
CECELIA
[Turns to look at Leo again. Raises her voice] I am not! Go. Get away from me.
LEO
[Pain filled his voice] Don’t you see that love the others got for you?
CECELIA
[Looks down at her feet again] What others? Guys? Are you serious? [Stands up and looks at herself in the mirror] Look at me. I can’t even compare to Petchula. I’m nothing like her.
LEO
[Look at Cecelia angrily] Why do you always compare yourself to other girls? Look at you. [Arms waves out] You are wonderful that way you are.
CECELIA
[Covers her ears] Stop it! Enough! [Shakes her head] I don’t want to talk about this anymore.
LEO
[Walks closer to her] Tell me you like Jin then. Why is it so hard?
CECELIA
[Looks up to Leo] Fine. Fine. I like him. So much. So much. Ok?
LEO
[Pain stabs him hard in the chest] Backs away.
Back to Jin and Petchula in the living room of the apartment.
PETCHULA
[Look at Jin and placed one of her hand on his arm] Hon what’s wrong? Look at me. Isn’t it a lot better now? It’s quieter.
JIN
[Takes her hand off his arm] Don’t touch me.
PETCHULA
[Leans close to Jin and trace his face with one fine painted nail]
JIN
[Push Petchula away and got up and walk off]
PETCHULA
[Gets up and shouts after Jin] Jin! Jin! Come back. Where are you going?
JIN
[Turns around to Petchula] Don’t follow me. You started enough problems today.
PETCHULA
[Sinks down to her seat] Humph! [Crosses her arm in front of her chest]
JIN
[Walks up to Cecelia’s room and stands outside the door as he hears Leo and Cecelia talk loudly]
LEO
[Sitting down and starring at the floor] You love him then?
CECELIA
[Pace around in a circle in front of Leo] No. Yes. I don’t know. He’s so perfect. So right. There’s no one like him.
LEO
[Looks up to Cecelia and asked] What about me?
CECELIA
[Stopped and stare at Leo] What about you?
LEO
[Stand ups] My love for you. He doesn’t event notice you.
CECELIA
[Shock] You love me? Ha. Yea right. Why me?
LEO
[Moves closer to Cecelia] Because you are wonderful as who you are.
CECELIA
[Moves a step back] Stop lying. [Laughs nervously] I’m not going to fall for that joke.
LEO
[Moves another step closer] I’m not.
CECELIA
[Stares]
LEO
[Walk right up to Cecelia. Lifts her face up and kiss her.]
CECELIA
[To her amazement with wide eyes she kissed him right back]
JIN
[Opens the door in. he sees them and closes the door. He leans outside the door. A little pain stabs his heart. She is just a friend he tells himself. But why is it so hard to go now
Did he love her too?]
LEO
[Stares into Cecelia’s eyes] I love you. [Hugs her]
CECELIA[Hugs him back. Thinking how wonderful, strange, and new this feeling is. And now here is a real play she can write abou

[Looks over and see Cecelia giggle. This made him proud of himself. He walks back to his laptop.] Hey I was just only kidding. Chill Petchula. You’re turning red. Its not going to match you nails color. [Laughs] No need to take offense so soon.
PETCHULA
[Glares at Leo and takes in a deep breathe and shoots a deadly look at Cecelia.]
JIN
[Puts his arm around Petchula and looks at her.] He is just kidding. [Lifts up her chin and stares into her eyes.] You look beautiful.
PETCHULA
[Smiles] Fine. But is my face turning red? [Pats her cheek softly and digs in her purse for a mirror.]
LEO
[Looks at Petcuhla and then to Jin. He tilts his head and gives Jin a nod. Jin looks back, smiles, and just shrugs his shoulders.]
CECELIA
[Feels a little pain creepy inside her heart. She shrugs it off.] Hey Jin as I was asking you a while ago, do you know of any love story?
LEO
[Smiles] Hey I know of one how about you write.
CECELIA
[Turns to Leo] Was I talking to you?
LEO
[Puts down his laptop and walks over to Cecelia.] Of course you are gorgeous. You were looking at me when you were talking weren’t you. [Laughs and sits on the arm of the leather chair.]
CECELIA
[Sits back a little further from Leo as leans towards her smiling. She feels nervous.] No I wasn’t. [Silently she thinks to herself of how good he smells. Shakes her head. Pushes him away.] Move! Go back to where you are sitting.
LEO
[Leans closer and smiles.] Yes you are. [He notice her blushing makes her so beautiful.]
Ou…spicy…I like.
CECELIA
[Pushes him away] Ugh I hate you!
LEO
[Moves back and stands up] Of course you don’t. [Laughs silently to himself as he walks back to his laptop.]
PETCHULA
[Looking down at nails.] Please, the two of you go flirt somewhere else. How embarrassing. [Waves painted nails in the air.]
JIN
[Looks at everyone and then to Cecelia] Um…I’m not sure. I don’t know. Love…[Looks up to the ceiling and leans back placing both his hand behind his head]
PETCHULA
[Extending her hands on and tilts her head to the side] I do. How about you write about yourself. That’ll be interesting. Some girls just don’t get it that they need to back off. They just try too hard for the guy. [Leans her head on Jin’s chest] That is just embarrassing.
JIN
[Looks at Petchula with a serious face] That’s enough stop it.
PETCHULA
[Sits back up] No! [Sensing that she has everyone’s a attention she stand up with one of her delicately painted nails on one hips and the other pointing at Cecelia] It’s the truth. I mean just look at her. She is obvious trying to get your attention when she knows clearly you are all mine. Who does she think she is? [Hand gesturing Cecelia] Look at her hair, the way she dress-
CECELIA
[Embarrassed and eyes filled with tears she begins to gather all her stuff into her bag]
LEO
[Sees the hurt in Cecelia’s eyes] Well Cecelia, you can clearly write about some girls who claim that certain things are theirs but don’t even know that their overly heavy self-confidence is making them incomparable to the less noticeable girls.
JIN
[Annoyed with both Leo and Petchula now sit right up] Stop it the two of you!
PETCHULA
[Stands up and Screams] Ahh!!…I can’t take it anymore! Cecelia tell you stupid boyfriend to stop it. [Turns to Jin who just sits and stares back at her] Jin I am not happy at all!
LEO
[Laughs out loudly and types on the computer.] You’re hilarious.
CECELIA
[Stands up with all her stuff ready to leave]
JIN
[Stands up after Cecelia] Where are you going? You still need my help?
PETCHULA
[Stands up and pull Jin down beside her] Where are you going? Sit back down.
CECELIA
[Look from Jin to Petchula] Forget it. I don’t need anyone’s help. [Turns and walk off to her room]
PETCHULA
[Shouts after Cecelia while holding on to the arm of Jin] Go then. You and your stupid nerdy self shouldn’t be staying here anyway.
LEO
[Stands up] Looks who talking. This is not even you apartment. [Walks off after Cecelia]
PETCHULA
[Stands up and screams after Leo] Ah...come back here you idiot.
JIN
[Looks up at Petchula] Can you just stop it?
PETCHULA
[Smirks]
This is in Cecelia’s room
CECELIA
[Opens the door and throws her stuff on floor. She walks over to the mirror and takes a look at herself. Sits down on the stool and covers her face. Silently she cries to herself]
LEO
[Knocks on the door] Can I come in? [Opens the door and walks in. Sees Cecelia crying in front of the mirror] what’s wrong?
CECELIA
[Wipes her eyes and cheeks quickly] Go away. Why do you always have to comment on everything? That was not even funny.
LEO
[Sit on the bed beside Cecelia] Why are you so stupid? You never know what to say back.
CECELIA
[Turns and look straight into Leo’s eyes] That is who I am. I don’t need help with anything. [Turns and look at herself in the mirror again] Go away. I don’t want to see you.
LEO
[Stand up]
Do you really like him that much?
CECELIA
[Looks down and answers quietly] No.
LEO
[Sits back down on the bed again] Then why are you crying like that?
CECELIA
[Turns to look at Leo again. Raises her voice] I am not! Go. Get away from me.
LEO
[Pain filled his voice] Don’t you see that love the others got for you?
CECELIA
[Looks down at her feet again] What others? Guys? Are you serious? [Stands up and looks at herself in the mirror] Look at me. I can’t even compare to Petchula. I’m nothing like her.
LEO
[Look at Cecelia angrily] Why do you always compare yourself to other girls? Look at you. [Arms waves out] You are wonderful that way you are.
CECELIA
[Covers her ears] Stop it! Enough! [Shakes her head] I don’t want to talk about this anymore.
LEO
[Walks closer to her] Tell me you like Jin then. Why is it so hard?
CECELIA
[Looks up to Leo] Fine. Fine. I like him. So much. So much. Ok?
LEO
[Pain stabs him hard in the chest] Backs away.
Back to Jin and Petchula in the living room of the apartment.
PETCHULA
[Look at Jin and placed one of her hand on his arm] Hon what’s wrong? Look at me. Isn’t it a lot better now? It’s quieter.
JIN
[Takes her hand off his arm] Don’t touch me.
PETCHULA
[Leans close to Jin and trace his face with one fine painted nail]
JIN
[Push Petchula away and got up and walk off]
PETCHULA
[Gets up and shouts after Jin] Jin! Jin! Come back. Where are you going?
JIN
[Turns around to Petchula] Don’t follow me. You started enough problems today.
PETCHULA
[Sinks down to her seat] Humph! [Crosses her arm in front of her chest]
JIN
[Walks up to Cecelia’s room and stands outside the door as he hears Leo and Cecelia talk loudly]
LEO
[Sitting down and starring at the floor] You love him then?
CECELIA
[Pace around in a circle in front of Leo] No. Yes. I don’t know. He’s so perfect. So right. There’s no one like him.
LEO
[Looks up to Cecelia and asked] What about me?
CECELIA
[Stopped and stare at Leo] What about you?
LEO
[Stand ups] My love for you. He doesn’t event notice you.
CECELIA
[Shock] You love me? Ha. Yea right. Why me?
LEO
[Moves closer to Cecelia] Because you are wonderful as who you are.
CECELIA
[Moves a step back] Stop lying. [Laughs nervously] I’m not going to fall for that joke.
LEO
[Moves another step closer] I’m not.
CECELIA
[Stares]
LEO
[Walk right up to Cecelia. Lifts her face up and kiss her.]
CECELIA
[To her amazement with wide eyes she kissed him right back]
JIN
[Opens the door in. he sees them and closes the door. He leans outside the door. A little pain stabs his heart. She is just a friend he tells himself. But why is it so hard to go now
Did he love her too?]
LEO
[Stares into Cecelia’s eyes] I love you. [Hugs her]
CECELIA[Hugs him back. Thinking how wonderful, strange, and new this feeling is. And now here is a real play she can write abou

The Loser, the Drummer, and the so called Kamikaze sister
Cecelia sitting comfortably on the comfy black leather sofa of the family room types away a mini-play on her laptop. The heat coming from the fireplace increases her anxiety of not going to be able to finish her story on time for the play-writing contest. Justin, her brother, sits to the left of her chatting away about drums and rock music. On the right, is Kamikaze, Cecelia younger sister who name is not to be known for she is so called a Japanese ninja, chats away about nonsense that she tries her best to ignore. It’s because listening to her talk will distract anyone out of what they are doing.
Cecelia
[Sits cross-legged on the comfy black leather sofa typing away.] Okay. I’m concentrating, concentrating, concentrating. [Two sentences were only typed on the screen.] Ah! [Screams]…Darn it woman! Concentrate. Relax. Clear your mind of all stress. You have to write this play. Make is good and you shall forever never be ignored!
Justin
[Looks over to where Cecelia was sitting and gives her a weird look] Well are you taking to yourself? You know you sound very much like a… [Puts on the thinking face. Grins]…mindless pathetic blabbering loser form of some sort of human being.
Cecelia
[Looks up angrily and offended] What the heck are you talking about? I’m concentrating here. Unlike you…[exaggerating the “you”] who are not doing anything but spend hours after hours starring at that magazine of drums.
Justin
[Smiles. Takes the blasting headphones of heavy metal rock music away from his ears.] So…it is very educational. Look here you can never find anything like this-
Cecelia
[Cuts off Justin’s sentence]Shut up. I don’t care.
Justin
Fine be like that. [Puts the headphones of blasting hard metal rock music back into his ears.]
Kamikaze
You know what you should be the one to shut up. [Looking down at her book.]
Cecelia
Get your nose out of this. This is only an A and B conversation. C your way out! [laughs] You know what? That was pretty clever.
Justin and Kamikaze
[Both looks at each other.]
Cecelia
[Blushes. Looks back to her laptop screen and sighs] Anyway I’m trying to write a good play for this play writing contest. The thing is…I don’t know what to write. [Puts on a thinking face.] Maybe I should write something about the transition to from one culture to another. [Smiles and jumps up] How about that? [Laptop gets knocked off] *thumps* [Bends down and picked up laptop.]
Justin
[mouth hangs open] you know what? I wonder if we really are from the same parents or did mom and them dropped you on your head by accident. [Laughs]
Cecelia
[shot over an evil look to justin] GO…*pause*…PLAY…*pause*…IN…*pause*…TRAFFIC
Justin
[Lower head down.] Sorry dear sister of mine. I will not, and I repeat [raises voice]
Will not take that fun away from you. You are the only match for thee game. [Laughs out loudly]
Cecelia
[Slams both hands on the arm of the sofa and screams.] Shut up with that incorrectly spoken lame British accent of yours!
Justin
[Puts on a serious face, stands up, and walks over to Cecelia. Bends arms at waste and bends down.] Excuse moi, madamemosille. It’s actually an old English accent of Shakespeare time. [Laughs and turn back around to his seat] Ok fine. How about you write about the life of our Kamikaze sister here.
Cecelia
Why is that? [Gives Justin a questioning looks.]
Justin
[Looks up and smile] Because she is very political. Let her talk to someone for about ten minute and she’ll be destroying their brain cells with each of her words.
Cecelia
And your point is…[screams]…how am I going to put that into a play.
Justin
[Stands up. Puts hands on her waste similar to a feminine pose] well like oh my god girl friend! She is good.
Kamikaze
[Screams] guess what?!
Justin and Cecelia
What?!
Kamikaze
[Puts a deathly pale scared face] oh my god!!! I forgot the “s” in Nebraska…[laughs] oh well I can just write it over again.
Cecelia
[Looks over to Justin and nod] Wow and you call intelligent?
....to be continued....or finished...
Cecelia
