| So it's that time of year again. it all started July 11th, 1991 and now it's July 11th, 2008. 17 years have gone by and I've grown up to become quite the person. I've established strong friendships with several people in my life. Through out the years, I have gained priceless experiences and memories. All have led me to where I am at today.
I have to thank every single person that has come into my life. Although there are rather many things for me to regret about my past, life continues on whether I am disappointed or satisfied with myself.

so, it's actually sunday July 13th now and I have finally found time to sit down and write about my birthday. So turns out I never expected a surprise party, but it happened and my friends got me big time. What came out of my 17th birthday is the reminder of the great friends that I have in my life. It can be so amazing how a few individuals can have such an impact on my regular life. So although none of my friends probably even read this thing. It's just a note to self that I truly and honestly have the best friends that I could possibly have. High school has taught me many things. Throughout these past few years, I've grown quite a bit and matured into the 17 year old Terence Tang that people have come to know me by. There's been great times and then there's been rough times. All in all, they were all experiences and memories that are irreplaceable to me. Sure I wish I could have gone back and fixed some of the choices and mistakes I made. I'm probably repeating myself a lot because I'm writing this a few days from when I began this weblog. While I'm here making my periodic blog entry, I'm going to continually write down some of the experiences that come to mine when I think about my friends. I think it'll be a good way to acknowledge and have in writing some of the things that they have done for me.

| regrets. they're like a curse. you make a decision and the consequences are apart of your life daily. i got a few, but i have to say. i can't be where i am today with out those decisions that i have made. sometimes i question if it was worth the consequences i have to deal with, but i just wanted to put down in words.
THANK GOD I DID EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE DONE THIS YEAR

| Coach. I'm a fool. I took you for granted. I miss you so much. Right now, I'm just wishing that I could have established a stronger relationship with you. You taught me to love the game of Football, you gave me countless and priceless memories, you gave me a chance to establish an even stronger relationship with my friends. You brought together a group of students and produced a single functioning team. You always did talk about getting rid of the individualism on our team and the necessity to work as a family more then anything. I'm so sorry Coach. I'm so sorry for not putting in all my effort to be the best that I could have possibly be. I'm sorry for even taking one play off at practice or blowing an assignment during a game. I'm sorry for so much and I just wish I could have told you that I'm so sorry for all my mistakes. I regret ever getting angry at you when you yelled at me. I just wish that I could apologize to you right now for all of that. In person. Face to face. I wish I could have told you that I really appreciate all that he has done for me. I wish I could have hugged you and just told you that you were like a father to me. I lived my life with hesitation and I wish I could do it all over. I want to see you walk out of your PT Cruiser with your sunglasses and big puffy jacket on. I regret not bonding with you more. I'm jealous of everyone else that got to see the many other shades of your character. You will always be someone that I have the uttermost respect for. I love you Coach. From the day I met you to my last dying breath, I will never forget you. I just hope that I can live up to your memory. I want to make you proud Coach. I remember when you told me good job. I never felt more happy. I would give anything for that right now. To hear your guiding voice. Coach Price, you're love for Football won't fade away because you have gone to better place. I won't let it fade Coach, the Team won't let it fade, the Family won't let it fade. Coach, you've done so much to the lucky individuals that got to know you. In the span of 2 years alone, you've done so much for everyone. I'm going to miss coming to practice and watching you and Sarge argue with each other about if we're going to run offense or defense first. I'm going to miss watching you, Sarge and Big Price crack up at each others jokes. I'm going to miss hearing your voice. I'm going to miss you telling me that I did well. I'm going to miss you getting angry at me for screwing up because it made me feel like you cared that about me on the field. You taught me so much about football and life Coach. I can only repay you by the actions that I make in the from this day on. What I do on and off the football field. I will put aside grudges that I have. I'll put aside my personal ambitions and put the team's ambitions first. Coach, you gave us so much and I refuse to let it all fall by the wayside. I speak for everyone when I say that EVERYTHING WE DO IS FOR YOU COACH GARY PRICE. Thank you for all that you've done. Every time we step on that field next season, we'll be ready. Resonating with your spirit in our hearts. You've taught me important lessons through the whole time that I've known you, and somehow you still can teach me lessons from Heaven. You've taught me that I can't let opportunities slip by. We can't hesitate until it's too late. I want to make the most out of life, so I will Coach. That's your final lesson to me and I will live up to that.
Heaven just got a whole lot better with you up there. I love you Coach Gary Price and your memory lives on.

| They call Valentine's Day the day for lovers. I must say that jealous can make a man very sad when he sees his peers around him with their girlfriends and what not. Alone again for Valentine's Day, sadly.
Serenades: GROUP 3
So my first time ever doing serenades. I must say that it was pretty darn awesome. Never felt so tired and fatigued from just dancing the same moves and singing the same stinking "pretty woman" song, but I'm glad we made people smile and laugh. Very fun experience. It was cool that I got to skip periods 1-5 too. definitely a benefit that is greatly appreciated. Thank You Mr. Aron! So Group 3 serenades, our group, "The Men in Red" (created from the brilliant mind of Aron) was composed of 10 guys. I think we had about 25 serenades with a few forfeited to capella :( jerks, wouldn't trade, they would only take. We did a few complimentary ones for a few friends that we thought needed/deserved it. At one point we found this random girl sitting on the bench by the band room all alone and for some strange reason, we decide to serenade this girl capella style. We butchered a few parts but we still got a laughing smile from this random girl. Funny day, especially when all the girls in choir turned the choir room into a dance. That was a bit of an awkward place for the guys. You could envision the men standing on one side of the wall while the women were on the other side, except dancing. Anyways, now that I recall, we had some pretty outstanding serenades. I was quite satisfied with the serenades and I definitely look forward to serenades next year.
Rockapella: February 13th, 2008
Awesome as always! My third time seeing them and this show was my first non-holiday show. Spectacular, I'd say they just keep improving and improving their shows as the years progress. 25 dollars well spent not to mention I got pictures and autographs :]
Valentine's Day Overall Rating: 6/10 (due to some issues in the later hours)
I am going to San Diego on Saturday. More xanga updates to come in the future.
