Embarassment

New template~ Now the people that use IE can view my blog. I like my old design better, the theme looked pretty. And it takes me at least 20min. each time to set up a good template cuz I still gotta edit the HTML and find pics and make sure stuff are the right size or at least close to the right size. ANDD it takes me a while to adjust to a new template which is why I don't switch the design for at least I'm guessing 2-4months.

But...readers come before the blog design. Plus, there are other wonderful designs too. I saved a copy of my previous design tho :D

LA- uhh is this history class?
Shop-brochure. This period went by FAST.
Physics- new unit: Forces. :/ I hate science.
Chinese- uhhh..embarassing..more details below...
Algebra-well Ms.S got SUPERR mad at us today. Because of the stupid ppl in our class.
SS- stuff..
Media Tech- HTML. I like it :D

Okay..so Chinese. today she showed the class our group's video. EMBARRASSING. i wanted to hid in a corner. My voice was SOOOO freaking low. OHMYGAWD, I HATE MY VOICE. The best part? The background music ;) and the credits (where the song i loved was played loud). The first song is actually in the music playlist, on the right hand side. the 6th song--the one in cantonese. The song for credits isnt on my playlist..but oh well.
Anyways..WORST MOMENT OF this month. Way to ruin my leap day, sunlaoshit.
On the bright side...I believe that people don't even care about the contents of the video. What they probably did is look at my bag (like S-Y W did -.-) and say they liked it...

More Obsession~

So recently, I'm REALLYYY obsessed with JJ Lin. Like, I can't help it. He has an AMAZING FACE, BODY, and amazing voice. And the best part is he has the same last name as me! He has a reallyy sweet voice, and he can go reallyy high too. I've been listening to his songs for the whole mid-winter break. xD Andd hes really talented. He makes up the melody for all of his songs, and he makes the melody for other ppl's songs too. Anddd he speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, Taiwanese, and English. God I love this guy too much.

So..knowing me..I did a Photoshop project on JJ haha.
Also, I've updated my song playlist. The first 6 songs are all his songs now. The 1st one is super catchy(to me). The 3rd one has a sad music video, the 5th one, i'd say is his most popular song of ALL time. And the 6th one is Cantonese! :) Even though he's really good at singing and he makes his own melody (now thats some talent), I wanna hear him sing with a more upbeat song. All of his songs are pretty slow and soothing. He should try it. Still love him <3

Here's before:

And here's after photoshop.

it took me a hour on this. No kidding. The sky and the house are actually two different picture put together. and it took FOREVER to erase the white background in the before picture. all those little details...its all worth it tho :D credits to this website for helping me: http://luxa.org/tutorial_compositing_with_adjustment_layers.php

I was skyping a friend, and we got into the topic of Beijing Welcomes You. And here's our overall list of hotties in the video:

Anson Hu
Wang Leehom
JJ Lin
5566
Hangeng
Huang Xiaoming
Peter Ho
Kenji Wu
Chen Kun
Do Cheng Yi

I think thats it...

Here's another cute JJ pic..<333333 Credits to CT!!

And here's some other pictures that I'm too lazy to upload:

Beijing Welcomes You

JJ Lin(Singapore)..he looks different...almost weird in this picture. ohwell. <3

Han Geng(Chinese) (Super Junior)

Yesterday was CRAZY fun at CT's house. This is a summary of what happened:

Laughed 100 times while filming the chinese video project thingy. We had to re-do SEVERAL TIMES.

Chen Kun (Chinese)

Funniest parts were probably JS forgetting to say the total, and just sticking out her hand for money. we were like "WHAT'S THE TOTAL? ASDJFLAASD" HILARIOUS!! And OMG, why is my voice SOOO low?? Ohh and then another funny part was when JS couldn't fit the money into the toy cash register hahaa im like laughing right now. and then she couldn't stuff our clothes into bags LOLOL. Good times...

Peter Ho (Taiwanese)

Then..we went into CT's room and skyped, played on iPad, listened and sang to cantonese music. and obsessed over hot guys.

At first it was all normal...then CT played Beijing Welcomes You on Youtube. and THAT'S WHEN IT GOT CRAZY. We were like stopping each 15 sec. when the guys came on. We had to look carefully at their face. And then if they were hot, we'd figure out their names at the description section. Then google them up and yell and scream "hes so hot" etc.

Wang Zi (Taiwanese)

And half the time, I'm like "OHH I KNOW HIM, hes____. go search him up!!" CT and I were..pretty crazy haha. and JS and EG were just like *sigh* and JS kept trying too imitate us saying "no, that one's hotter." :P All the guys on this entry are the ppl we were looking at that was in Beijing Welcomes You..(except for Wang Zi) xD

Huang Xiaoming (Chinese)

Then we went home. Ohh, credits to CT's brother for filming us and editing our horrible mess ups and putting in background music :)

HAD A HELLA FUN TIME!

(Last but not least...Wang Leehom)

Wang Leehom (Taiwanese)

I'm pretty sure I'm missing a lot of other hot guys, but..yeah <33

Chinese video project

Jay Chou got the idea from Inception. It's not an "original" idea, but then again, a lot of music videos are pretty boring, and this one isn't bad at all compare to the boring ones.

Chinese school was pretty funny today :)

On monday, I'm going to a frd's house for the stupid chinese video project. Hope our video turns out good. OMG i cant believe we have to share it. I hope we run out of time or something. Need to start downloading songs and putting them into USB for background music...

umm what else. god, my life is so boring.

Ohh I watched Horrible Bosses yesterday. Pretty funny, you should watch it.

uhh...ohh HTML. how do u even start? like a layout?? -.-

okay bye.

Valentine's Day

ALL MADE BY ME(except for the Kevin Cheng photos and candy and chocolate).
Tool: Photoshop CS5. 20 layers.
Time length: Around a hour
Don't like it? Too bad.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

LA- nothing much really
Shop- Presented our medical mirror. Whew...god thats over.
Physics- review. test on friday.
Chinese- Valentine's day word search. The words make me smile :)
Algebra- nothin much
SS- changed seats. I sit next to Andy.
Media Tech- HTML :D

My banned book project SUCKS. Like its sooo plain. But I'm too lazy to color all of the poster cuz I'm too lazy :P

Okay, I don't even care about Valentine's Day (i guess thats cuz i dont have a valentine), but I decided to get in the spirit and made that image above with Photoshop CS5. Took me about 15-25 minutes getting the photos I need and then around 30 ish minutes putting them together. (20 layers). I dont care if you dont like it, I made this for fun.
It's actually just a collage really..

Umm yeah..have a wonderful day.

Contest

WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO. WAIT..OKAY, IF YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND CHINESE, THEN DON'T WATCH IT.

**ABOUT ME PAGE UPDATED**

Chinese school "speaking" contest today. I wonder who came up with this idea. Cause he/she is clearly stupid. Everyone has to participate.

It wasn't that bad, the only problem is the judges. They're bias. They've known us for 10 years now. They'll give the prize to the ones they like and for the kids they don't know, they'll pretend like you never even talked. In my opinion, they should get a set of judges that doesn't know any student in the class. Also, everyone should present the same topic, for example, everyone makes a 6 slide power point slide about your school, then you say that in chinese.

So glad its the last year in chinese school, I can't stand some of the people here.

It's almost Valentine's day. Seriously, Valentine's day SUCKS. If you have a date, it'll be the sweetest thing ever, and if you don't, its basically making fun of you.

Speaking of valentine's day...i have a project due that day..and i haven't even started. aii yah.

Ohh I forgot to talk about the music video. So basically, if you can't understand chinese, the news came up and said the earth was ending in 6? or 7? hours, and then yeah, the rest is pretty self explanatory. Then in the second to last scene, the one with the guy in the car and some words came up. Those words mean Did we all have the same dream? and the very last scene, those words mean dont wait until the world is ending to cherish everything around you.
At first I really thought they were all gonna die, who knew...
Personally I think it's very touching. And a good song too. <3

Oemgee

LA: substitute.
Shop- umm boring
Physics- even more boring
Chinese- principal and vice principal came today. everyone was like dead silent o.O
Algebra- sub.
SS- test. pretty easy. I think I aced it :D
Media Tech- aiiyah, I was about to type office asst. anyways...umm continued working on beach project. mine's pretty tight xD

What a BORING day. My life is so boring. I need something exciting.

Anyways, so I was reading this article a person on fb posted...and it is OHMYGAWD. terrifying and sick.
Like...why would anyone do this? I think this person has some mental issues..well she grew up w/o proper parent care. But sentencing her to life in jail WAS the right thing to do. And she should be charged for 1st degree murder. Nothing can replace the life of a 9 year old. Not even ur life. Because you guys are two different people to the world. If you find killing ppl "enjoyable", think about some other person killing ur brother. How would you feel? You sick little jalifsu9830832482039ajdlf9rsjf. SOMEONE TAKE HER TO THE MENTAL HOSPITAL PLEASE.

My eyes...

AIYAHHHH, my eyes are killing me. And they're so ugly rite now omg, its like disgusting and its red...not going in to all the details or you'll freak out.
Never happened to me before. Maybe I'm allergic to pollen or something? I WANNA SEE THE DOCTOR.

What I did today:

homework
library to print colored pictures for banned book project and chinese thingy.

My personal manifesto is 6 pages including the Works Cited. And it sucks. I don't have good word choice. Hope I get at least a B or A-

ummm ohh. I HATE MEDIA TECH THERES LIKE 5 8TH GRADERS IN MY CLASS. FMLFMLFML

And i hate the new unit in Algebra. Exponents. They suck crap. Solving systems of equations or whatever was soo much easier.

Okay Im gonna keep this a short entry. Bye.

History Repeats Itself

Semester ended today...

LA- vocab test. harder than i thought. but i also did better than i thought. 19/20. Satisfied :D

PE- last day in pe..idk if thats a good thing or not..not quite sure if I'm gonna miss it.

Physics- OMGGGG I HATE MY TEACHER. EFFFFFFF HER. she gave us a 50 min. test on a wednesday schedule. And when we didn't finish she told us to come in 2morrow morning at 8. YOU KNOW WHAT. YOU CAN'T DO THAT. CUZ SOME OF US RIDE THE BUS AND OUR PARENT'S CAN'T DRIVE US TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING. there's something called tutorial at the end of the day, but NOOO, ur too busy with your balloon satellite project that you don't care if your students fail and rush through the tests, all you care is your stupid little project. YOU VALUE A OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL PROJECT MORE THAN YOUR STUDENT'S TEST SCORES. WHAT KIND OF TEACHER ARE YOU. I wanna yell that in her ear. And i wonder why her old students even come back and visit her. They must be crazy...

Chinese- umm it was pretty funny today..but things haven't been seriously funny ever since the (now freshman) ppl left. Idk man..i guess older ppl are more humorous.

Algebra- 2nd part of test. SUPERR easy. Switching seats 2morrow...but i like my seat D:

SS- switched seats. Can I have my old spot back? Pleaseee?

Office Asst.- I don't know if I'm gonna miss PE but man, I'm SURE gonna miss this class. You know what, I already do. I miss it. Right Now. This very second. Sighh...

I remember last year when the first semester ended. I was even more sad than today, cuz..well...you know..Mr.Mascara. Anyways. I'm still sad though. Sad that I won't have a free period anymore. Sad that I can't walk around delivering notes and talking to my friends in random classes I go in to. I can no longer do homework. Also sad for a private reason...not gonna say it here tho. People are gonna get the wrong ideas..

This year is going by faster than I had imagined. Before I know it, the semester is ending. Halfway done with 8th grade, with middle school. A few more months before going to High School. Before everything counts for your future. Why am I growing up so fast? Why is time passing by so fast?

All these memories will always be remembered...

(Including what my science teacher has done to us.)
