New

Hey guys, 

It's been a while. Caught up in a lot of things. A lot of new, new, new things...

Sarah hasn't been checkin' the blog lately so it's kinda my takeover for now till I remind her :3 

Well, it's a new life for me now. New state, a billion miles away from home </3 From my family and friends and the town I knew all my life. 

It's hard. It really is. It's heartbreaking. It's hard to get over. Life is hard in general.

A friend of mine, who has the awesomest tumblr ever btw (look up the blog: somewherethatdoesntexist), showed me this really deep song. It touched me. I had never heard this kind of message before. 

I will post it as a page to the right over here------------------------------> 
Usually, I'm not into this kind of style of music, or even this musician, but this guy has somethin' to say. Totally. And it's good to try new things. 
The song was about... If you have problems in your life, and you're feeling like crap, and you have all these mixed emotions from everything... Tell someone. Tell the world if you have to (blogging lol). But in the end, NO ONE WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE FEELING. I mean, who could? It's your feelings and everyone is different. The feelings and empathy might be the same, but still, no one will truly know your pain because you are the only person feeling it. So that's why. Since no one understands, move on. Leave the pain behind after you've expressed what you've felt. Because life goes on and life will never understand you, so what is the point in trying to MAKE people understand? 
Exactly. You can't. 
And it taught me something. Something new. And I have never thought about it that way before. So it's time to stop PITYING my life now and make something better out of it. 
One step at a time. I'll try something new. 
Keep followin', Awko Tacos :)

High School

Hello Tacos!
It's been so long since the last bloggie post, so sorry! When people say high school is drama-free, work-free, and fun-filled, they are liars. Totes. 

For the past month or so, Sarah and I have been battling the hardships of high school. All honors classes, yay :3 And one seriously difficult AP world history class. My advice... if you want to take it easy and not be totally overwhelmed with work, don't take AP world unless you really want to! It's a lot of information to learn. 
GENERAL STUFF. High school is hard to navigate around at first, but over time, you'll get it. I got lost five times in the first week! >_< 
It's also kind of hard to get the hang of how things work (I'm still learning where everything is and all the rules and such), but it'll be easier as it goes. 
FRIENDSHIPS. Meeting new friends and losing old ones is one of the hardest things (for me). I've met really nice people at my high school, but as a student among a couple thousand students, you feel quite forever alone. But it's alright. Keeping old friends and keeping up old relationships might seem hard at first because of different classes, different new friends, different clubs, but that's okay! High school truly tests a friendship. 
DANCES/FREE TIME. Study groups instead of hangout sessions, hanging in libraries instead of at the movies, football games and homecoming dances. High school. Just love it. (A tip for high school dances--> it's only fun if you go with a group of friends that <3 to dance! Going with a date is romantic sounding, but at the dance, the music blasts street mix B96 so loud, there's no slow dancing or anything of the sort. And usually, it just ends up awkward! So go with your fun-loving friends! :D) 
FOOTBALL GAMES. Not my thing, I now realize. And it was raining -_-
FRESHMEN. WHY DO UPPERCLASSMEN HATE FRESHMEN? I DON'T UNDERSTAND. They used to be freshies themselves! ("Freshies"=pet name for freshmen). Freshmen haven't done anything wrong? Why is it so prejudiced? :o
CLUBS. Joining clubs should be pretty fun! Trying new things and letting you experience things you haven't done before! WHO Club and Art Club for me, at the moment... (WHO Club is community service- good for college apps! It's always good to start early to impress 'em.) Any more clubs I should try out? (Maybe Guitar or something fun and artsy or musical!) :D 
HOMEWORK. Well, old habits die hard. Every friend of mine so far has found themselves doing homework on the weekends all on Sunday, so I never hang out with them on Sundays anymore :( Procrastination. Not very good, but people do it anyway! In high school, do your homework! It actually counts now more than ever! 
DRAMA. Whoever said high school was not filled with drama, was seriously lying. Drama is everywhere. Dating problems, people liking people, friend fights, friends getting distant, fights in general... It's cray cray >_< Staying away from drama is the way to go! It'll make life so much easier... :/ Drama is just going to distract from what is really important. (I know. Been through it. Going through it. Getting over it. Kind of.) 

So, that's mostly what high school is all about! (At least for me...) Questions? Comment~! Blog ASAP.  
Love ya, Taquitos! <3

The Mall

Hello! 
Today, we went to the malllll. Shopping is so fun. There weren't any good sales. Which sucked. We saw a sign that said "BUY ONE GET 150%!" <-- that is misleading the public. But it was supposed to say "BUY ONE GET 1 50%!". Anyway, there was a huge art show thing at the mall outside. There were so many tents & stuff. There were cool ceramics and glass art, but the tents were blocking the stores so we couldn't navigate very well. Sadly. We're already directionally challenged. 
Some really trendy fashions over in the mall was lacy, bows, and bright bright colors. Strapless and ruffles are also in style. The vintage stuff. There was also this style which was a leotard looking thing/baby clothes, but for grown women and girls. It was kind of strange looking. Crop tops and interesting patterns are ALWAYS IN :D and white. White is an amazing color :)
Summer is already almost over! Only a month left... So we shall enjoy it as much as we can :D
Anyway, that's our update :)
Follow & comment!

Beachy Weekend

Hey Awko Tacos, 
This weekend is going to be quite a special weekend. Today is a bowling day with friends! Scooreee. I meant, strike. 
But tomorrow, "let's go to beach, 'each, let's go get away, bay, say, what they gonna say? Have a drink, clink, found the Budlight, bad alsdkfj like me are hard to come by..." No, we're not having shots, we're going to the beach! Finally. 
Sarah & I have been trying to plan a beach day for weeks with a bunch of friends, but honestly it never works out. So plan carefully when you try to plan beach day! We've been checking the weather constantly. That is a key. The best days for the beach are when the weather is in the 80s-90s, sunny or partly cloudy, with a breeze. Bring plenty of food & sunscreen & bring a bunch of stuff to do! I have a slightly deflated football & frisbees to bring... ;) Yay for the beach! 
So make some summer memories at the beach. Hopefully it works out & doesn't rain on you. 
(Did you know it's the hottest summer in the history of summers???!) (Thanks, 2012) 
Keep on following & commenting, tacos. :3

Friday the 13th

Comment about your day!

What You Do On A Rainy Day

Hello Fellow Awko Tacos,


It was a humid, rainy day today. Not as bad as it sounds. So, me & Sam hung out with another one of our friends today. Our friend was interrogating a summer school friend of Sam's, & the summer school (ss) friend has never met our friend before. She wanted to know what people thought about her before they met her. Based off her name, she is apparently "a hipster-y kind of person with blonde highlights, and with hipster glasses, who is a unique, overwhelming young woman" according to the ss friend. (By the way, she's nothing like that- she's better). 
We got bored of sitting around from the rain so we went outside anyways, which led to our friend was explaining a really weird fan fiction story that she read. 4 people & so much Asian drama. One couple, where the boyfriend is gay & the girlfriend (Hanna) knows, but the guy doesn't know he's gay. One couple, where the boyfriend (Kai) is poor & the girlfriend is a spoiled little brat & wants expensive gifts. It's quite the typical Asian drama. Because eventually the boyfriend of Hanna falls head over heels for Kai! And Kai is the only one that didn't know the boyfriend was gay. Awko taco much?
THEN, we went on a walk after the rain stopped, & it was sticky & humid! And we saw a mini bunny! :3
Later, after we creeped out Sam's friend from summer school, Sam & our friend played Just Dance 3, & I sat out because I refused to dance for them. But I made them do this Power Ranger dance called "Spectronizer" or whatever just because I wanted a good laugh. They looked really stupid. Hehehehe :P 
So our interrogation friend left & I made Sam finish the game herself even though two players were needed. I got a video :) Maybe I'll post it later. Depends. 
Well, that was our lovely rainy Friday, not that bad. 
Now, I might've messed up Sam & her friend's phone because we sent a SUPER LONG multimedia text (not just a regular text message) that might have crashed both her & her friend's phone. We all have problems. Don't judge me. 
Bye for now, 
Sarah (& Sam) :)

Let's Talk Friend-lationships & Parents

Hola Taquitos Awkwardos! 

It's been a while since I've made a fun blog post. So. Let's talk relationships, shall we? <3

I'm not going to name specific people in this, but here goes. 

Today, I hung out with a really good guy friend of mine from my summer school. It was totally fun because you know, guy friends are fun to have. We watched Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part 2 ("Let's finish this how we started--TOGETHERR!") (Sorry I just had to say that), I taught him some guitar, & he walked me to my dance class.

BUT, the thing is, sometimes, guy friends and girl friends tend to end up liking each other. It's perfectly normal though. Everyone says that it's hard to 'fess up to a friend just because "they're afraid of ruining the relationship between them". Which is possible. Not going to lie. 

BUT, how will you know you will mess up if you don't try? If you really are good friends, then it wouldn't BE awkward if you broke up & it didn't work out. You can still start over & still be friends. I call this a "friend-lationship". 

The POINT of the story I told is that, like many teens in the world, I can't date. I'm not allowed till I'm like 30. But, there are lots of teens like this. Most of the time, parents don't let their little girl/boy date. So, if you like someone & they like you, but he/she can't date, or you can't date...then it depends on you whether or not you go for it. 

Sometimes, parents might let you. Because they're cool like that. But sometimes, they won't. Don't try and be all "I'm-a-rebellious-teen-&-I-can-do-whatever-I-want", because it's not going to help your parents trust you. It'll make it seem like you are immature & can't handle it. 

BUT, if you ask beforehand, or ask for advice from your mom or dad, or just tell them how you feel, they will feel like you trust them with your feelings & trust them with your secrets, so maybe they will let you. It's not guaranteed, but it's definitely better than dating behind someone's back. Or, as I like to call it, being "special buddies" (secretly dating, basically). 

Huh, I really do need to listen to my own advice. Haha :) 

So try it out, guys. Be bold. Be brave. Don't be afraid to stand up for what you believe in when it comes to a relationship. 

Talk to you soon!

Thinking Of You

Well, hey guys, 
Sometimes you guys will receive the news that will change your lives. Like when your dad or mom gets a job in a different state, & you have to leave everything behind. It really is depressing. 
But it isn't worth crying about it. Pretend you have 6 months left to live. Live it to the best you have. YOLO? <--no. 
In all seriousness though, do all you can to keep in touch with the people you love. They're not leaving you. Make pacts with your best friends. Promise to visit. Technology is a great thing. (Email, text, Skype, Facebook) 
You might think that seeing them in person is way better, & it is true. But the best thing to do is make sure you are happy. Because your friends and family will feel worse if you aren't happy. And make sure they know you'll be thinking about them every minute of every day. 
This is coming from a person that's going through it right now. So listen. Learn. 
Love. 
-Sam <3

Big & Small

I had a friend, about 10 ft tall,
not much younger, not at all. 
Compared to me, I looked much smaller,
& I honestly thought they were so much smarter.
Differences we shared, but so much to learn,
everyday we both yearned
to be like the other, when they were big & I was small,
it's good to be different, or the world
wouldn't be the same, not at all. 
And if we grow apart, there is much I would do,
anything just to get back to you. 
Remember the times, we knew & shared,
laughed & played without a care. 
Back to times, when you were big & I was small.
I am a small person in a huge, cruel world, after all. 
-SC


I was feeling particularly crafty today... & a bit inspired. 
Think about all your friends & family. This isn't about anyone specific. 
Let your friends & family know, whatever happens, changes can occur throughout your life & you will lose things. Important things. 
And sometimes you feel like you can't do anything about it, but you can. 
Keep that in mind. 
I rhymed the poem to make it easier to remember ;)

Awko Taco Advice

Hey Awko Tacos' Followers :)

It's Sarah. Well I'm gonna do the first Awko Taco post on advice we give to you! Exciting huh? So allow me explain the situation that I came across due to another very awko taco One Direction loving friend. On this very boring day, my friend texted me an extremely long text message that I had to forward to her crush (or kinda just a guy she liked, not sure it was really a crush) that explained she couldn't see or talk to him due to parental reasons and a little over the top flirting on both parts.
So basically we can call them starcrossed lovers like Romeo and Juliet just not as romantic or intense. Continuing the story, so when my friend got off her punishment (kinda) she decided or accidentally talked back to her parents and landed herself in an extremely nubbish punishment that was way worst than the first. This brings me to my advice to you Awko Tacos, Funyuns or whatever category you have placed yourself in. ;)

FIRST! Even if this is kind of obvious I'm gonna say it anyways. If you have a crush on someone DO NOT flirt with them in front of their/your parents because that will (most likely) land you in an awko situation where the parents will hate you (maybe) - this is especially true for girls because well, most parents don't want random guys flirting or touching their "little girl", just saying (take notes, guys, it might help in your future). 

SECOND! Even if you've heard this probably more than once, its just better if you think before you speak. If my friend had did so, she wouldn't have ended up in the nub nut situation that she had. Plus this will save you from long groundings for talking back or detentions for insulting a teacher even if the teacher is annoying (Trust me. I know how you feel). But don't get me wrong, speaking your mind is totally fun, but just know when to do it. Kay? (That's me trying to get deep, but it's so not as fun as being random.)

So this is my advice to you awko taco fans and i hope it helps you somewhere in your strange, but interesting life. Oh yeah sorry for the really long post. I'm not so good at writing short things, but I will try to make the next one shorter :) Hehehe bye guys and keep following the Awko Taco blog. ~

From Sarah :D

Fashion-Tribal

Hey Awko Tacos! :)


It's Sam. Today, this will be the first Awko Taco blog post about FASHION.
(Thank you, Unicorn Friend!) I'm all dressed up & ready for a beach day today! 
Not sure what beach, but I better be prepared. 
This is my TRIBAL OUTFIT for the beach. :3

So this is my outfit for the day. 

It consists of:

One bright red tank top from EXPRESS (on sale!) layered with a white/off white tank, shorts with pockets sticking out of it (it has a tribal pattern on the pockets), metallic gladiator sandals, a cultural dream-catcher bracelet (made of string), multicolored bangles, a copper necklace with a hummingbird on it, & a long clip of feathers from Charlotte Russe

Try it out! :) 

~Sam  

Interesting Day

Today, Sarah & I had a little adventure with our unicorn friend. :) 


It was interesting. ~awkward silence~ And then our unicorn friend traveled back to Narnia. (No questions on that). You can meet her by clicking the link called Unicorn Friend. -------------------------------------------------------------->
After, we had a wonderful awko taco cellphone experience. Try this at home! 
First, find a friend. 
Second, hijack each others phone. 
Third, text a random person in their contacts, that you do not know or are not close to. (Try not to text the parents of your friend or be overly awko taco). 
It'll definitely be a fun chat. :3


Sarah had a fun experience texting a new friend of mine from my summer school. 
But, I texted a random 8th grader & did not have a fun time because this person was not entertaining. They hate rice. That's a crime against humanity. So therefore, anyone lower & more awkward than an awko taco, is a nub. He was a nub. (Maybe) 
This is the scale:
Fun people----> Funyun 
Half fun, half awkward----> Funbuns
Awkward people----> Awko Tacos
Lower than Awkward people-----> Nubs. (Sarah: Hehehehehe)


Use this scale to describe people. It'd be the new trend. ;) 


Bye for now! :D
~Sam
(& Sarah)
