i absolutely hate it when somebody turns a little thing i say into something huge, then rants on about it for an hour.
i made it clear already. i don't really care what you think.
so build a bridge, and get over it.
stop trying to prove yourself right.

i also hate it when somebody looks down on you and treats you like a complete idiot.
what the hell?
are you implying that i'm dumb?
or are you just trying to get attention?

who else is at the 2nd star to the right?

photography.

2010-01-10T16:40:00.000-08:00

my interest in photography has definitely increased recently. i probably adapted it from my mom, who takes a picture of EVERY SINGLE THING.
but they all turn out well.

the problem with my liking of photography is that i have to upload all the pictures that i take.
and i dun't like doing thatt. D:
see. i don't really have a computer that i can upload my pictures on.
and i don't like taking the time to do that.
WHAT SHOULD I DOOO?

but here's mah kitteh. tigger. ♥

NOTE TO SELF

2009-12-08T22:57:00.000-08:00

never chug down cold chocolate milk.

" it's a love storyy, baaby just saay yes" ♪ ♫

2009-12-08T22:00:00.000-08:00

everyone has heard love songs. the good old taylor swift, "romeo take me somewhere we can be alone, i'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run, you'll be the prince and i'll be the princess, it's a love story, baby just say yes~"

lyrics like these can fill the hearts of many growing adolescents with passion and feeling, but most of them never think of the big picture"

in taylor's song, or, in any love song in general, is the male figure actually a good influence on teenagers and do they really set a good example on how to grant happiness?

for all we know, this "romeo" could be a strange man, sly with his words to talk juliet's father into letting them get married. :/
(if you don't know what i'm referring to, you should listen to the song below.)

you know, if your parents tell you that some guy is bad for you, chances are, they really are.
&also, this could just be a temporary thing, something driven on teenage hormones, something that won't last.

fantasies never really last.

that's the trouble with reality.

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND
no one really cares about any of this, except for me.
so why don't we just enjoy the song itself.
and ride into a fantasy world, where nothing is real?

insomnia

2009-12-08T21:52:00.000-08:00

There's a feeling you get, like you're the only person in the world awake at the moment. There's an empty and annoying buzzing of the silence that you just can't get over. It's like everything but you is dead -- the city, the lights, all life. You like awake, curled up under your sheets, with every random thought in the world flying though your head. Sometimes, you really actually want to sleep. You're really tired, but you can't. It's the worst. Everything is quiet, but really loud at the same time. And sometimes, the thoughts will reach a standstill, and your mind goes blank. Just, nothing. You become more aware of this silence than before. And it's during this silence that you actually become aware of how alone you are.

ahhh, i'm back~

2009-12-08T21:49:00.000-08:00

I haven't been posting in such a long time on blogger. But whenever I had ideas, I would record them in my phone, so I'll just build on those(:

more china pics

2009-10-20T21:36:00.000-07:00

I just remembered that I never posted the China pictures like I promised, about two months ago? xD

Well, here they areee~ (:
But only a few. :P

Night scene, fabulous.

The cake from cousin's 11th birthday.

Table with a perfect view, fitting perfectly for only two.

Farmville?

2009-10-20T21:12:00.000-07:00

I just recently started playing Farmville on Facebook. I don't know why, it's just so addicting. There's really no point in playing it; all you do is plant stuff and check in later to harvest it for money. So why is it so addicting?

I guess it's the pressure of everyone else who plays it. I mean, my school's weekly show made a whole song about it, and I always would hear other people talking about it on the internet and at school. So then, I decided to try it, and I got hooked. I seriously did. Now, I see all my neighbors on Farmville, who are level, like, 18, 20, 30, and I'm only on level 8, and I feel pressured to rise up to a higher level like the rest of them. I don't know why, I just feel pressured to do so.

By the way, like my farm? xD
It's all dead and empty because I just harvested most of my plants and trees~
Sorry for blurryness~~ :D

Alaska Trip '08 Pictures 2

Breakfast at the Country Kitchen, I thought it was delicious(:
My sister's chocolate pancakes were ah-mazingly good. :D

Saltwater marshes:
The trees are dead from the lack of fresh water.

And at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.
Moose(:

Long days, short nights = low angle of the sun's rays hitting the Earth's surface.
Proof: 9:30 PM, still bright as day.
And I lol'd at the neon clock on the city hall.

After spending two nights in Anchorage, we departed for the cruise:

In the line to get board the cruise ship:

Alaska Trip '08 Pictures

2009-10-15T19:17:00.000-07:00

I posted this on my Gaia profile a while back, but I feel like sharing it with the wonderful world of Blogger(:

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
SO.
Starting with Anchorage~!

Anchorage Weekend Market and Festival:
People come from all over to sell handcrafted things, homegrown fruits, vegetables, furs, clothes, purses, toys, etc..

(LEFT) She's selling fruits and vegetables.
(RIGHT) Handcrafted shell and gemstone necklaces, bracelets, jewelry; aren't they pretty?

Those little wooden dolls that have those smaller dolls inside, and even smaller ones inside them, and on and on... xD
Hand-carved, hand painted. There's even a Santa in the first row, and a pine tree~ :D

Random things, jewelry, patches....

On to Graywater Lake:
Hahaa! The water's gray~!

Railroad.

There was a stationary train on the side of the road, so we stopped and took pictures(:

Hahaa, I really like this one.

Wheee~!

LOL
.... embarrassing picture...

so i've been following this blog...

2009-10-10T20:03:00.000-07:00

...and it's all about fashion.

Forever 21, styles hot in Asia right now, where to get the best deals...
It's a great blog, altogether, but the only thing I dislike about it is how whenever I read a post, I always end up wanting new clothes.

I don't when, I don't know how I ever got so fashion-obsessed. The joy of amazing clothes hanging on your shoulders...
Maybe it's from reading to many fashion magazines, or seeing so many great outfits when I was in the stores of China this summer, or maybe flipping through pages of different online stores, or just trying on random outfits with my friends at the mall.
I don't know, but it makes me feel great when I have a great outfit on.

Wow, I sound like such a girly-girl.

But just because I'm semi-obsessed with fashion doesn't mean that I don't spend enough time on my studies. No, not at all. I still spend my fair share of time into my school/homework, extracurricular activities. I do, I really do.

Hmm.
I think I should get a job at a store that sells great clothes for a part-time job.
For the money and the discounts on the clothes.

Hahaa.

Picture time~(:

BELOW:
has hanging out at F21 affected my love for fashion.
&also, not me, in this picture. those are my weird-ass friends. xD
Hahaa, I love themmm~

I want this top.

testing, testing, 1-2-3

2009-10-10T16:05:00.000-07:00

We have tests in school almost every day.

Not like in intermediate school, like where there was about one or two tests every week. In high school, I have one every day.
My biology teacher likes to give tests every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And the test is based on our homework. My English teacher gives tests every Friday, on roots, like un-, sangui-, hema-, that sort of stuff. My geometry teacher is great, she's fun, and we really understand the topic after she teaches it to us. We have a quiz or test around every week in that class.

I absolutely love my Cultural Geography class. Even though it counts as one of my electives, I'm really glad I'm in that class; it's really fun, the topics are interesting, and my teacher is amazingly cool. She speaks to us openly, talks in terms we understand, makes jokes, etc.
It seems like all my past history teachers were really fun. Mr. Mendelson, Mrs. Armstrong....

Hahaa, high school is so much different than middle school... xD

i dunno how....

2009-09-30T21:35:00.000-07:00

I still can't think of anything.

I love how my cat is always stretched out on my rug. She's a lazy baby, all she does is sleep, and eat, and roll around acting amazingly adorable. But when she's woken up and she has energy, she goes cccrrraaazzzyyyy....
Dudeee, my cat is so totally ninja.
Like, seriously.
She's amazing. ;D
And whenever I'm on the computer, she'd sit on my desk, stare at the screen, and try to scratch the pointer in the screen.

It's really funny to watch(:

BRAINSTORMING

2009-09-30T21:25:00.000-07:00

I'm attempting to write an essay on To Kill a Mockingbird, right now. Only thing is, I don't have any inspiration to write at a time like this. So I thought maybe writing in my blog would help.

Haha, does it?

Help, I mean.

Well, I guess I should just rant off about anything that pops into my head. That's what I usually do, lol.

OMG LADY GAGA IS A HERMAPHRODITE.
We were talking about her today, in Pysical Ed. and all of a sudden, my friend was like "OMG SHE'S A HERMAPHRODITE. OMGOMG LIEK LOL NO WAI."
Why, Shey?? Why did you have to say that??
Now all I think about when I hear of Lady Gaga is that she has two types of genitalia. I don't really want to know that.

We had a math test today. I did the review last night, and I was like, "Oh yes, I'm so going to win this. I'm so totally going to get a 100%..."
Then today, during Geometry, I remembered that I didn't bring my calculator.

My beautiful Casio scientific calculator, with interchangeable covers, with three different colors.

Lol, I just totally sounded like a nerd...

But yeah. So I spent most of my time trying to divide and multiply, and I redid those about five times each because I didn't want to get anything wrong. I finished 2 minutes from the bell, that was freaking me out so much. I didn't think that I was going to finish, but then I did.
So, all is well. I'm not dead yet(:

i want some new clothes....

2009-09-12T18:19:00.000-07:00

I do....
I really do....

I was flipping through pages of http://fobfashion.blogspot.com/, and I realized how much I need some fresh new clothes hanging in my closet. I bought a whole bunch of clothes on my trip to China, but that's not enough.... D: I looked at some clothes on a few websites of stores that I like, like F21, Causeway Mall...

That didn't really help me at all. :/

I found this one store, Zara, with a bunch of cool stuff. And there's a store, too, really close to where I live, I might go there one day...
And Causeway Mall, I don't understand. I've never bought anything from them, mainly because their prices are ridiculously low. I might buy something, just for the lulz.

$12.99

$25.20

Shirt, $5.26 (the price is ridiculous...)

Oversized T-shirt, $6.34 (o___o I want ittt....)

Wantt.....

Do want........

kkkk, school

2009-09-12T16:49:00.000-07:00

Wo-oww.
High school.....

What can I say?
It certainly is different from middle school.
The first day was nawt a good day. Since I missed registration in August, I planned on arriving early at school to fill out the forms and such. Then it turns out that I didn't have a Diablo Daze postcard, so the office people needed a proof of residence. I called my dad to bring our water, gas, and electric bills, and after waiting about 40 minutes, he finally arrived, only to find out that he needed the recent copies. By that time, the first class had already started.
My dad and I had to return to the house, print out our recent bills, and go back to the high school. When they finally gave me my ID card, my schedule, third period had already begun. And after searching for the classroom for about 10 minutes, I finally entered the classroom.

Lucky for me, that class was drama. My friend was in that class, so I didn't have to feel that awkward about getting to class late the first day.

This is going to be a long, long year...

movies :D

2009-09-04T19:13:00.000-07:00

Alright~ Movies. Movies, movies, movies...
17 Again, love much(: Not only does it accent Zac Efron's acting skill, it also makes him look, ahem, very attractive. Haha~ :D <3
I've seen the beginning of Confessions of a Shopaholic, and I just thought that it was so interesting, and I really want to watch that now(: On top of those, I have the urge to watch Ugly Betty. I don't know why, I don't know how. All I know is that I have the need to watch it :D
I need to find some new movies to watch. Anybody have any ideas? At all?
Plane back to LAX in California in three weeks and two days!!! Yess!!

shiny new stuf :D

2009-09-04T19:11:00.000-07:00

I didn't know mythology could kill. But it's killing me. D:
Dude, Mythology by Edith Hamilton is so boring. When I bought it, I thought it would be facts told as a story. Nope. It's just facts. Plain, boring facts. Things like, "Zeus's bird was the eagle. Poseidon dupes him in Iliad and so does Hera." You could at least write it a tad bit more interesting, right? The only thing that's making me read the book is the fact that I have to finish it before school starts. D:
Other than that, I've seen a few parts of To Kill a Mockingbird, the movie version, I mean. What can I say, it's my kind of movie, haha~ Lawyers, smart-aleck-y people, you know, like Death Note. It's historical, semi-factual, the sort. I'm excited for when I get to read to book. Hopefully before school starts... :|
On that note/////
HOORAY FOR SCHOOL~~~!!! :DDDDDD
Four more weeks until freedom! YESSSSS.
Well, not the typical freedom...
But for me~!
I bought a whole bunch of new school supplies too~ A bunch of cute pens, pencils... oh, and this one pencil sharpener that looks like a mouse(: Hee hee~

ch-ch-ch-changesss

2009-09-04T19:10:00.000-07:00

So a day or so ago, we were walking somewhere. I forgot where; it was probably a restaurant or something, and I notice that by stores everywhere, there were a couple of bikes, and a lot more motor bikes. I could definitely see the difference of the amount of motor bike than that of two years ago, when I last came.
It's a definite good thing that the number of cars or road vehicles haven't increased since last time. The area where I live probably couldn't handle that increase. Most shopping areas only have limited parking spaces. So, if the amount of cars increase, we can expect to see heavy traffic in the smallest of neighborhoods. Our area built the buildings before they had cars, so they didn't put much thought into whether we had enough space for cars to pass through.
Sigh...

fun?

2009-09-04T19:06:00.003-07:00

With my aunt and cousin here, things are great fun(:
We go out almost every day that they're here for shopping, movies, karaoke, etc., etc...
So far, we've seen three movies here. First, Ice Age 3, Dawn of the Dinosaurs; Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince; and 麦兜响当当.
They were great movies(:
I finally bought Okami for the Wii. Hoorayyy~~
I've read online that that game was amazing, so I wanted to see for myself.
I also bought Final Fantasy, Chocobo's Dungeon. I'm not sure what the rating for that is, but that's alright(:
Even without much to do all day, this trip still manages to be fun.

Lol, we were watching Up in 3D, haha~

After the eclipse

2009-09-04T19:05:00.000-07:00

Well, it didn't rain, for one thing, but it was still too cloudy to see anything other than the the sky slowly getting darker. :D
We ended up watching the eclipse on television. I took a bunch of pictures of the TV, haha. I can still tell my friends that I saw a solar eclipse while I was in China(:
The sky slowly started getting darker around 9:00 AM, and it increased to a darkness equal to that at night. My cousin and I started yelling out the window of our 32nd story house, "It's past your bedtime, everybody go to sleep!"
Then it got lighter and all the fun ended. Oh well...

blogspot blocked in china, lol

2009-09-04T18:28:00.000-07:00

My mom was bugging me to write in my blog. I guess she can't get over the fact that it was blocked in China, haha(:
So I wrote my entries on Google Docs, but I ended up accidentally deleting half of them. D: But I'll just post the ones I wrote.
I don't really have anything interesting going on that I want to write about. Maybe I should try writing about random things, and make them sound interesting.

Yep, that's what I'm going to do.

Oh, and also~
I feel like putting pictures up(:

Solar Eclipse Woes.

2009-07-20T22:21:00.000-07:00

Wow.

Wow.

WOW.

I can't even describe how excited I was to see the solar eclipse on Wednesday. I thought it was such great luck that I was in Shanghai at the perfect time and place to see such a great phenomenon. And to add that we live on the 32nd floor and we could see it from our window was even better.
Now Mr. Friendly Weather Man decides to make it 60% chance of rain with thunder and lightning with clouds that BLOCK OUT THE SUN on the exact same day as the eclipse. That's just cruel. Absolutely cruel.
I feel sorry for myself, yes. I feel sorry for my sister, too. I feel sorry for all those who payed to come to China to see it, from all over the world.

I'm depressed, and I'm going to go sleep on it.

But, on a lighter note, I've been watching a lot of Project Runway. A LOT a lot. I am almost done with season one; I'm on the 2-hour finale. When I was watching it, I was getting all competitive and everything, like, "WENDY SHOULLD NAWT HAVE WON THAT CHALLENGE, AUSTIN'S DRESS WAS SO MUCH BETTER, GAWD I HATE YOU WENDY PEPPER, THE FINAL THREE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AUSTIN, JAY, AND KARA SAUN, NOBODY LIKES YOU, GO AWAYYYYY."

Hahaaa, yeah, I'm like that...

Day 1, 2, and 3

2009-07-06T18:14:00.000-07:00

Hooray, we got internet installed today~! I never imagined it would be that hard to live without internet for three days, haha~
Oh, I thought I was going to die. That 12-hour plane flight to Shanghai nearly killed me. It was probably one of my worst flights. Time seemed to go by extremely slow, and the longest I could fall asleepwas only one hour at a time. I probably fell asleep five or six times. :D
After we got off the plane, we continued on to the gates where my grandpa, aunt, and cousin picked us up, like every other time. This time, I don't think they recognized me. I didn't change that much in the past two years, did I? We were escorted to a van that took us to our rented house. Our old house was sold off a few months ago. Now, we live in the tallest building in our area, on the 32nd floor. I'd look down from my window (which doesn't have a screen) and think that it would be a totally great place to commit suicide. Not that I would... *stare*

But the weather has been good. It isn't as hot as it was last time, but that doesn't mean it isn't hot. I guess one of the prime differences between America and China are the people on the streets. More cars than people, and more people than cars

The television, I'll have to say, is horrible. There are so many Chinese soaps, but none of them are interesting enough for me. I watch those talent shows with the male singers who look like they're trying to impersonate Farenheit. Seriously. Like, everybody's hair these days looks the same. Like the boy bands. Like Tank. Or Farenheit. Or Jay Chou. Like that.

I'M TOO LAZY TO POST MORE PICTURES, DEAL WITH IT.

I'm not really used to everything yet...

2009-06-26T15:30:00.000-07:00

I'm not really used to staying at home every single day, without having anything to do, while also being busy at the same time. I really miss RSM Intermediate, but I'm totally excited to enter Mission Viejo High School next year :D

~~

Here are some pictures of the last days of being a student at RSM:

The picture above was taken before school the day we went to Knotts Berry Farm. These people are amazing, nyan~!
Left to right: Kristin (on back), Alyssa, Taylor, Sherryl, Jordan.
Alyssa always has on awesome pants...

This was when we first got into Knott's.

And of course, the first ride we go on is the Merry-Go-Round. You should have seen us, we were cheering and putting our hands in the air and everything.

Then we went of Jaguar. That picture kinda resembles a line going into one of those bars with the bouncers and everything, doesn't it? =D

Then we went on the Accelerator. WOOOHOO that ride was amazingly creepy and awesome. Our group kinda split in half, because half of us wanted to go in the front car and the rest either wanted to be further back or didn't want to go at all. I decided to go with the rest that were going in the front car, just because I was feeling brave at the time. We ended up waiting an hour or so longer than the others who went in the cars in the back. But they ended up liking the ride and we rode the ride before it broke down, so everything's good.

For lunch, we got Dippin' Dots. Mmm, that was good ;3
We kept on trying to temp Sherryl into buying some, and eventually, it worked.
Let me advise, if you ever go to Knott's Berry Farm, do not ever, buy the churros there. If you've tasted them, you know they taste like old cardboard. There is absolutely no cinnamon or salt or sugar or anything. It's just regular, stale cardboard. The pizza though weirdly shaped (it's in the shape of an elongated oval) it is definitley the best food there. We bought ours in Ghost Town. And the beef jerky, do not attempt to eat it unless you have teeth made of titanium, no braces, and saliva that can burn a hole through the wall. It took me about 15 minutes to try to bite off a tiny little bit.

After we ate, we went in line for Riptide. HOLY CRUD, THAT WAS THE SCARIEST THING I'VE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE. It took me like, 20 minutes to recover from that. After we got off that, I ran to the bathroom.
:D

We went on a few other rides, including the Perilous Plunge. The vertical drop is 115 ft in height, only 34 ft shorter than the Niagara falls. When you went straight down, gravity pulled you out of your seat. I got soaking wet. It was amazing.

The trip to Knott's was such an amazing time.

I don't get the whole Anne Frank sensation...

2009-05-17T20:36:00.000-07:00

So Anne is a symbol of hope, optimism, and such, yes? Why does she stand out so much from the 6 million other Jewish souls that died? She kept a diary? Well, I'm pretty sure that she wasn't the only Jewish person that kept a diary during hiding from the Gestapo. No, definitely not. Her father just happened-

Holy crap, I just felt an earthquake.
Seriously. I just did.

Okay, haha, back on topic. As I saying, her father just happened to make it out alive to publish her story. Then she became a worldwide symbol. The public reads one, they believe only one. If they read more diaries and primary sources, they may start to realize that others had endured times maybe even more painful the ones Anne Frank and the members of the Secret Annex. Maybe more murdered souls would be recognized.

Gah, testing.

2009-05-08T20:24:00.001-07:00

So yeah, I'm studying for my CST tests next week. I'm on the CST website right now, but I'm doing a few other things. Just a few. I'm still studying like crazy, but I'm juggling. Very well, I might add.

I think things like, I'll spend 8 seconds replying to this PM, and 5 on this comment, then I'll answer 5 of the released questions, then write two sentences in my blog. Then I repeat the process. This whole thing could almost be a game, you know. Testing endurance (lol), punctuality, and self-dependability. Nah, I make it sound way better that it should be recognized.

But back to testing, it seems that I don't remember most anything that I learned in the 6th grade. It's sorta sad, you know, spending a year learning so many different things, from the Romans to Greece, down to the details of Asian culture and Confucianism, even the different laws and regulations of the Code of Hammurabi, only to forget them a little while later.

On a lighter note, I find Hammurabi's codes quite entertaining. I wikied it a few minutes ago, and I was quite surprised at the different rules which our history teacher failed to explain thoroughly.

Like the part where the nurse's breasts are cut off. :D
