History-evolution, nothin much. ohh and NTV. i actually miss indep. living just because of how chill that class was.
PE-intro to weight equipments. then the mile. beat my previous time without stopping anytime during running, but its still bad compared to the rest of the ppl in my class since everyone's athletic in that class, not even kidding. urghh. next goal is within 8:50.
English-100% on vocab quiz. finished hotel rwanda. good film.
today's PE was muchhh better. stomach didnt hurt, no dizziness or blurred vision and im actually pretty proud of myself..
so scared for leadership tomorrow. classes where u get called on randomly =.= ahhhh.
hope everything goes great.
this morning on facebook i saw my cousin's superrrrr long, more than 1,800 chinese character words post. i spent around 6-10min. reading it. in the post she talks about how her parents dont understand her and how they are giving her too much pressure, and how they say shes not doing good enuff in school. (shes freaking smart, get goodddd grades, and she goes to the best highschool in taiwan. what more do they expect from her goshh).
her parents (my aunt and uncle) also assumes a lot of stuff. like how once they thought she had a bf just because she was brushing her hair 2 min. longer than usual and bf was the cause that brought her grades down. aunt and uncle dont have proof but thats what they assume.
my cousin mentioned wanting to be invisible, wanting to go to a place with peace, especially when she hears my aunt scolding my little baby brother and the awful crys of my baby brother. (3 years old actually). later in the post she questions her presence in this world and talks about thoughts of suicide. however she did say that shes not willing to give up yet.
im really scared for her actually. i just never thought my cousin felt like this and even have thoughts of suicide. i never thought that someone so close to me would have thoughts like this--never thought it'd come across her mind..someone so close to me.
i told my mom and made her read the status, then my bro said that she needed to go see a psychologist if she really has suicidal thoughts, and then my bro and I told my mom to talk with my aunt and uncle about this.
i hope i can help her in some way, even though im so far away. (hey that rhymed!) I don't want her troubles to get any worse.
having this blog is actually how i keep down my stress. i get pressured too, i have stress of my own too. it really helps to write everything down though, its like getting it all out even when there's no one to talk to.
i think and feel that my cousin just wants people to hear her voice for once, and ppl did hear her. she got well over 62 comments and 42 likes. im glad her friends are supportive.
to any reader that may come across this post: dont kill urself. theres always a solution. if u die, it means u give up, it truly means that u are too weak. but us humans are not weak. we survived so many events and incidents. think about caveman people or something. they spent everyday looking for food, and often go long periods of time without eating. and whats ur trouble? relationship failures? think ur too fat? think ur grades arent good enuff? these arent even problems. ppl back then--suicide didn't even exist. if they suicided, u wouldn't even be here today. think for ur future. prove everyone wrong by living a successful life. That's the best revenge.
(Emerging)Leadership-surprised that DJ.Y. is also in my class. the classroom is located at the same room as independent living and i had no trouble finding in at all, however almost everyone except like 6 were late. i sit next to 2 freshman which eases my anxiety a little. Tiger N, and Nicholas K. although i dont no them at all. one more surprising thing is having kpop star and helper R.L. (kpop star's frd too) in my class. never thought that would happen. first day went out okay, except that im more nervous now... there's also A.W. in my class. Kilcup is an okay teacher to me...so far. i think hes one of those teacher that if you're outgoing, ur gonna love him and really enjoy the class. but if ur me; if you're kinda shy and prefers not to be called on or joked on or whatever, ehhhh....this teacher's gonna scare you.
History(Law)-good seating charts. on the left side there's this girl i've never seen or heard of before, but she looks nice. She's white. on my right side it's S.N which im really familiar and comfortable with, thank God(: and behind me is I.Z. which im good with too. there's also a lot of other ppl in comfortable with including C.T. and M.B. and yeahh a few others. pretty good start, teacher seems okay and friendly...i THINK....so far. we also have a helper in this class.
Chinese-nothin much really. spent the whole period like drawing faces. I actually laughed quite a lott b/c of the faces my partner, W.C. drew and all the hilarious, hideous details J_s_n W. added. PE-fitness unit.
i told u i wouldn't survive this unit. i told u i told u i told u. i know what im capable of doing, and i no my body the best. i can't freaking run a mile with my period okay. without period, yeahh i can do that. i just can't with period though. especially the BEGINNING of my period. like if its 3rd or 4th day i might be okay, but notttt on the 1st. I TOLD YOU.
soo what happened was that after the mile was that my stomach hurted like shizz. it wasn't and didn't even feel like normal period cramps anymore. cuz those dont' even hurt that much and for that long. so it hurted like crazyyyy, and when i walked i felt dizzy, my vision starts to blur, and i feel weak all over. at first it felt okay, but then it really started to kick in. i mean what kind of period cramps make u dizzy and vision blurry.
i've ran the mile before, i dont get dizzy nor blurry vision. i dont get hella bad cramps. my body just can't handle first day of period+running a mile. it just doesnt work for me. not for my body.
plusss, its not the first time this has happened, im not just claiming that my body can't handle this out of the blue. this happened to me before, same occasion, towards the beginning of the year. 4th period pe. i knew my period was coming but hasnt yet, i ran the mile. and that day it was worse than today. cramps or whatever it is kicked in really early and it was baddd. dizziness and blurred vision also came in very fast. all this happened faster and nastier than what happened today. when i got home the day that that happened, my period started. DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEANNN. i've got trials of data. this is science.
M.L. was really nice and stayed out with me till the bell rang and some office people had to come get me with a wheel chair. i couldn't even walk cuz i was so weak and i was dizzy, blurred vision, and stomache, all those together, i couldn't walk. i could but i dont feel like it and i dont see any reason to either. i sat at this little covered area on the ground (it was kinda wet) and ML was just beside me. everyone else left already. Mr. O went to the office to get some assistance.
ML stayed all the way until the office ppl came. thats when the bell rang anyways. But im so touched by her friendship(: i mean, i guess a lot of friends would do the same, but its just that when it actually happens, having a friend with you....its just touching :')
so i was wheeled in, they put me down on a bed and gave me a hot water pack. i was sooo freaking weak and dizzy. i could barely even talk. everything came out as whispers. i lied on the bed all through 5th period and a part of lunch. during this time period i felt myself drifting to sleep, but i'd wake up suddenly each time when the bell rings (it ran a total of like 3 times), or when someone is near and talks.
i remember my hands/arms being so weak i couldn't even position the hot water pack on my abdomen. also at the time, i felt soo sleepy and worn out i wasn't even sure if i fainted for a few min. or if i just fell asleep. whatever i did, sleep or faint, my eyes remained close and my body and mind escaped reality for i dont even no how long. at first i really thought that i was just falling asleep, but now that i think about it, im not usually so tired as to i'll just fall asleep...especially in school. i tried hard not to doze off, but my body couldn't handle it. and im beginning to be convinced that i had...actually fainted for a few minutes.
Krispy Kreme's glazed donuts <33
my body finally repaired itself while i was suffering, and the nurse or whoever that was, checked in on me at the perfect time. i went to get my stuff from PE locker and went to lunch. i didnt buy a lunch but just ate some from my friends. i had no appetite anyways.
im so scared for myself. i dont no why this is happening, and i dont no if this is serious and might be dangerous to me or not. does this have something to do with the cancer i got a few years ago?i dont wanna think about it......
Geometry- skipped. English- continued watching Hotel Rwanda. Mr. O. likes to stop at reallyyyy intense and edge-of-the-seat scenes. it really kills all of us :/ we got a helper in this class.
Biology- nothing much. new lesson. kinda confusing.
went to math tutorial since i heard from a friend that if we wanted to know our scores beforehand we'd have to go find her. also heard that we've got a helper too. got soo many helpers in my classes now.. I got an A on my final(: i was sooooo happy since Ms. W said that the average final grade of all her geo. classes combined was like a 62%. and i was 1 of the 5 ppl that got an A in my class. i was dying of happiness. Thank you God. well..i really should be thanking myself for studying and putting in a great effort. but still, thank you God for blessing me and being there with me. (i dont even no if i believe in God)
this post really makes no sense at all. just having a panic attack and then a fan girling moment~
ughh scared of going to school tomorrow. leadership ajskdfjalsdfjdsladsfjalsd wish me luckkk >.<
but anyways, so Raymond Lam's concert "A Time 4 You" was held on the 26th and 27th (HK time), a 3rd round was added on the 28th. Took place at Hong Kong Coliseum at 8:15pm. tickets varied at $23.23, $36.13, and $62.93 US dollars, all prices were rounded up. If he came here, or if I went, I'd buy the 36.13 one, OR if i knew about his concert a longg time beforehand, i'd save up my money to buy the most expensive one.
he dyed his hair golden blonde like the other concert he had, and ehh i prefer him with natural black hair but he still looks good either way. and i think he got a haircut too...as if it wasn't short enuff already. ahh whatever.
Raymond alsooooo carried out his own fashion brand before his concert called "Choksta"
anyways, so now i'm on youtube and listening to clips of his concerts. and im literally DYINGGG. hes so perfect! and i like how he keeps saying thank you or do dze, and how he keeps bowing a 1000x in one song. Ahhh <333
Those musclesss~
and his freaking perfect live voice omggg, its something to die for. its deep, but not too deep. and just hearing him..makes me feel so good and comfortable. i dont no how to put it in words but when he sings or talks it brings your comfort.
Finals are FINALYYY overr. saturday was quite busy for me. i was out the whole day. first volunteer, then went to this other thingy thats related to my chinese school. its really hard to explain. it was this like chinese new year celebration thingy, extra early.
so before it officially started and guests start to go in, EC and I were just there hanging with 2 other little girls since we weren't really "guests". so we decided to play hide and seek. and the little girls were hiding in this room, we went in. inside sat this kinda cute guy, and we asked if he saw 2 girls went in there. his expression was so friendly! and he was a bad liar. sooo adorable! and then we just kept going back in and hiding in the room <333 that guy ahh so adorb.
so behind me sat this old canto lady. and apparently she thought i spoke canto so she kept talking to me in canto and im like....uhhmmm. i understood about 60%.
she said stuff like if i was born here, and im like "toi wan" and then she asked if i've seen these rice thingies in taiwan, and im like "gin guo." and then she asked how old was i when i moved here and i said "cat sui" and then she asked how old was i no and i said "sap sei". but then i realized im already 15. whatever. and then she complimented me saying i was tall for my age. uhh NOO, im short. but "mm goi sai" (:
she also asked me if the little bags were tea bags, and i pointed to the tea bag and said "li go hai" then i pointed to the ones that weren't said "li go mm hai" and she said what were they then? and i said "ngoh mm zi" and yeahh. something liek that.
also when we were eating, she kept offering me some since there weren't enough and i kept saying "mm sai la, mm sai la" but she gave some to me anyway. soo nice!
so proud of myself(: communicating to a real canto person. i still have ALOTTT to improve on though. Shout outs go to TVB dramas and TVB actors and actresses for teaching me :D
The old lady probably thought i had an accent, but heyy, she understood me. hahhahahah :) im happy.
after that, went to Ikea with family friend, E.C. on the car ride there, witnessed some drunk driving(that's our theory) like ahead of us on the highway. that crazy driver swerving back and forth. i didnt really witness it since i decided to close my eyes and rest a bit and so did EC. the ones that saw was EC's mom and my bro. then the driver like bumped into this other's car. and then EC's mom said something and i immidiealty opened my eyes, so did EC. then my bro called 911.
it's my first time going to Ikea, and i reallyyy love the showrooms, they look sooo wonderfull <33 I have officially found my dream kitchen <3 then we had midnight snack of hot dogs, ice cream, soda, and lay's chips at ikea i feel fatt, but it was delicious!
on the way back, on the highway, we saw quite a few police cars like more 3 or more. and then my bro and EC's mom also recognized the drunk driver's car. we were at Ikea for more than a hour. which meant the incident of police car has been there for quite some time.
new semester. 2 new classes. not that worried about history since i know quite a lot of ppl thats gonna be in my class. more homework and tests though ://
leadership is another story. omggg im gonna die. idk who the heck is gonna be in the class with me. im sooo scared. and i bet its a class where they make ppl talk a lot. ughhh im sooo scared. freaking out right now. freaking outttt.
wish me luck pleaseee on tuesday.

Indep. living- sewing....buttons...say whatttt
PE- volleyball play-offs and running in the cold with tshirt and shorts.
English-nothin much really
for pe, we were on the winning team so we played against the other winning team. 2 outta 3. it was a reallyyyy close game. 1st round they won, 2nd round we won. and 3rd round then won again. but for the 3rd round the score was like 21-25. so closee. whateverr, our team was good(:
when we had like 15ish min. left of class Olzendam made us run 2 laps. 2 laps isnt bad at all, and I wouldn't complain at all either....but today was different. None of us thought that we'd go and run cuz it was freezing outside. Only like 3-7 people had jackets on. Rest of us were just freezing.
The fog was reallyyyy dense too. but that didnt matter. cuz it looked pretty. I LOVE FOG <33 and it gave us an advatange to cut across the field since he couldn't see us at the other end of the field. anywaysss, it was FREEZING in tshirt and shorts. Couldn't feel my arms nor legs. BRRRRR.

Isn't he just adorable?!? Congrats to my Raymond for winning many awards at TVB's Jade Solid Gold Awards on January 12.
Soo busy lately. I have no time at all to update my blog with the finals coming up, and teachers still cramming new info into our heads. Urghhh >.<
But I know I HAVE to update. So i can keep track of my life and look back and think wow, i've gone thru all that stress?
3 things I'm currently REALLYYYY scared and stressed out about:
Finals for every period -.-
New semester classes-especially Leadership. KILL ME NOW. urghh
4 mile run @ the end of next quarter and fitness unit for like what, 2 months? =.=
*sigh..* Saturnnnnn.
Anywaysss, 4 days until my birthday! And tomorrow is Yoshi's. And in 3 days it's Jay Chou's birthday. And yeahh.
After chinese school, went to E.C's house to drop her off at her house. also stayed for lunch. lunch was soooooo freaking good. we had porridge. and it was like real legit asian porridge with ingredients already in there. also had 燒餅油條. OMG <33333 soooo good. and 包子, and mangoes. ahhh <3333
and then we just hanged and talked.
got home and watched a movie called Premium Rush(2012)which my bro had picked out. pretty good. and then watched Life of Pi(2012) which I picked out while my dad was scrolling thru movies. And then dad picked out a Canto movie called Mr. 3 Minutes/3分鐘先生(2006)
All three movies were pretty darnnn good.
Let's go in the order that I watched.
Premium Rush (2012)was good. I'd recommend you watch it if you have time, but it's not one of those OMG YOU HAVEEEEE TO WATCH IT OR ELSE. But, if your a cyclist then this should interest you.
Life of Pi (2012)got nominated for several categories for the Oscar Awards, including:
Best Picture
Cinematography
Directing (Ang Lee/李安 #taiwanesepride)
Film Editing
Music-original score
Production Design
Sound Editing
Sound Mixing
Visual Effects
Writing-adapted screenplay
Thatsss a lot of categories and in my opinion, Life of Pi def. deserves some good awards. They better take home at least a couple.
Mr. 3 Minutes (2006) was a touching one. Its promotional posters all look happy and look like it's suppose to be a comedy. It IS funny, but there's a plot twist. (spoilers included below). After watching 2 action, eventful movies, it was a great movie to end my evening. Not much action, plot was okay. But I needed a break from action movies so it fitted well for me. It's a touching story and there is a moral.
The main guy character isnt cute like at all, but heyy, hes a good actor.
I actually really enjoyed it. But I feel like towards the end everything just happened too quick, and the beginning was a little draggy. The ending wasn't that complete either. The main character needed a surgery where the success rate was only 1%. but the movie ended with him going to the surgery room and then the end. Soo, it really doesn't tell us if he dies, but 1%....seriously...he probably died. But heyy, u never no, he just might be lucky.
It's really up to the viewer what happens to him. However, we all know that he [probably] died.
Moved me to tears, just a bit though. Not like pouring down tears.
7 more days until my bday!!
ohh i also gained 2 followers on Tumblr today! Great day(:
BTW, can you believe we've only passed 12 days of 2013? It seems like forever ughhh.
Indep. living- a couple min. late cuz it was raining and mom drove me and traffic was bad so yeahh. Good thing Palmer wouldn't even care if you were 15 min. late.
PE-volleyball....
English- vocab test. pretty sure i got at least one wrong.
omg volleyball. Not a fan of it. But, hey, anything's better than running.
So we practiced spiking and serving and played mini game in 4 against 4, then we finally played a short practice game getting ready for games on friday.
and im just so freaking lonely in all our drill, except for the practice game at the end. In all the drills theres people that are super good, that play volleyball. and im trying my hardest but its just ughh.
and the volleyball players with me during the drills just pretended I was invisible or something. when i mess up, they dont say anything. when i do good, they don't say anything. Their expressions are the same, their mouth dont even move.
Buttt, if its other ppl's turn, they make comments, they giggle at the smallest things, and then say u suck or GO ___!
And then for the mini game in 4's. that one was a little better. Cuz the volleyball player, the girl was a differ. one and she was nicer and showed great teamwork. High fiving everyone and saying good job and stuff.
However, during the mini game when it was time to serve, they'd never let me have a chance. They'd be like "oh goshh i suck at serving, im not serving next time." and next time, someone else serves. and sometimes they take turns serving. but they'd never offer me to serve.
the thing is, I'm actually good at serving. That's the best part of volleyball to me. Serving. And i'm good at it too. But they don't give me a chance. They don't actually say it out loud like "shes not good, she won't be able to make the ball over the net." but their body language and the way they act makes it obvious. They don't wanna risk getting out because of me. But they've never seen me serve.
Maybe I should talk to Saturn instead of waiting for chances.
Maybe I should volunteer to serve instead of waiting for them to
give me the chance.
If only fear didn't exist...
Just because I can't hit the ball sometimes when it comes to me, doesn't mean i won't be able to serve it. Just because someone can't automatically cry on the words "ACTION!" doesn't mean they're a bad actor.
If only they gave me a chance...
The practice game was pretty good, on a team with all friends, (close and not so close), they're all friends. or people I felt more comfortable with. And it was my turn to serve on the very first second of the game. Served over the net several times perfectly.
Seeee what I mean?
Exactly 10 days until my birthday! Let the countdown begin(:
I HATE THAT ITS THE LAST DAY OF BREAK, AND TOMORROW IS SCHOOL FEELING.
It just kills me. urghhhh
I'm also gonna have a realllyyyy hard time waking up 2morrow. Watch me yawn 200 times in piano.
Really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really don't wanna go back to school. :/
I hope there isn't too much stress the first week back. I hope it'll like transition in slowly, u no what i mean? Already got 2 tests in the following week though, math and English. aiiyahhhhhhh
Recently, I've been pretty obsessed with Asian rap. More specific, Chinese rap. More specific, Mandarin Chinese rap. More specific, Edison Chen's rap songs. I'll save Edison's bio for another time.
Oh heyyy guess what? my bday is in 13 days, on January 19.
Ahh~his smile
[6th day of 2013: 4/10 just cuz its the last day of break.]
Today is 2013.1.4 which means its 愛你一生一世 (love you for life). Get it?
if u say it in chinese.
20 means 愛你. and 13 means 一生 and 14 is 一世. This is the only day this'll ever happen. ( i think)
Anyways...so I was literally laughing half the time yesterday, starting from the moment I woke up. All cuz of these asian variety shows. Happy Camp (China) and 100% Entertainment (Taiwanese) hosted by Show Luo and Alien Huang.
So, I was watching an episode of Happy Camp in the afternoon and it was an episode with Aaron Kwok/郭富城. And I started freaking out cuz he's one of those biggggggg, hugeeeee, superstars, that, if your mom's Chinese of any kind, would know. Unless your parents grew up here and yeahh...
A part of the 100% Entertainment show featuring Aaron Kwok and Janine Chang
So after laughing hard because of Happy Camp I decided to go on Youtube to search more videos of Aaron. So I came across this old video of an old variety show called Variety Big Brother (Taiwanese) which I've watched since like I was 2. And boyyyy, it was an old old old old old episode.
That was really funny too, and couldn't stop laughing either.
Aaron Kwok
After that, in the related videos section, I found videos of Aaron in 100% Entertainment show and I watched it. Turned out to be superrrr long. And I used up around 1 hour and 25 min. watching the super long episode. But it was all worth it cuz I was literally to tears from laughing so hard after finish watching it.
So yeahh, spent my whole afternoon/evening yesterday watching Aaron Kwok in variety shows.

Ohh goshh
Summary of his Occupation:
1984- when he was 19, auditioned for TVB's dancing training class, and made in.
1990- commercial for a motorcycle with wet hair in Taiwan, ppl start to notice him. Sept- first CD released in Taiwan.
1991- released 2 more CDs(both in Mandarin); after taking home Most Promising Newcomer Award, decides to go back to HK to expand his career more.
1992- Known as part of the Four Heavenly Kings along with Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, and Leon Lai. (Ask ur Chinese parents about this, EVERYONE knows this.) Aaron's "center split" hairstyle became widespread, people also loved his dances.
2005- Through Taiwan's famous Golden Horse Awards, he won his first Best Actor award with one of his movies.
2006- Another best actor award with another movie in Golden Horse Awards (again).
2007~2011- World tour concert all over places with his 460 degrees rotary stage, that got into Guinness World Records for World's largest revolving stage.
Total albums released: 63 (from 1990 to the latest one in 2010). SIXTY-THREE, DANGG
Total dramas: 17
16 from TVB
1 from another China channel
Total movies: 47
Concerts/Tours:
More than 30 different types total (differ. names; places...)
Around 211 (a few more) total rounds of concert. (ex. same place might have 3 rounds just differ. times)
More to come: 6 more rounds from March 17th to 22nd this year, in 2013.
In one of Aaron's concert, he dances with water. His fans (the ones that have learned after the 1st round) also shows up at the 2nd, 3rd rounds with water guns to shoot him with water. Because of wearing super thin white clothes, with the lighting, literally every part of his body is revealed. If he turns around, u can see his butt shape. One photographer managed to take a side view, and u could see Aaron's dick shape. (I WAS SOO DISTRACTED BY THE SIDEVIEW PIC. UGHH THOSE PHOTOGRAPHERS. CAN U GUYS LEAVE HIM WITH SOME PRIVACY PLEASE?!?) I'm not including a photo of that on here. They also predicted his size to be AROUND 11cm (5.1in.) long and 4cm (1.5) wide. WHY AM I EVEN TYPING THIS.
-.- Poor Aaron...
Commercials: 30 so far
Published:
1 Autobiography
5 photo book/albums (book filled with pics of Aaron plus some words maybe. i'd assume each book is at least more than 25 pages. long)
I think that's the longest bio I've ever did of a celeb. And there's still soooo much more to say about Aaron, but those to me just aren't as important as the ones I've listed.
Ohh another fact about him that i learned from watching the variety shows is that he puts some time aside each day (like at least 25min.) to workout, exercise. He also eats pretty healthy.
Adorable!~
His wiki page in Chinese version is pretty long, and I really don't have the patience to read each and every one of the Chinese words. So scanned thru, found major stalking details.
The English page is of course, shorter, but I got 98% of my info from the Chinese page.
English wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Kwok
Anywayss, he's just so adorable andd yeahh. Like he's 47 but he's too cool to be 47, u know what i mean?
Spokesperson for the Pepsi company in 2004 include(not in any order): Jay Chou, Aaron Kwok, Edison Chan, F4 (Vic Chou, Vanness Wu, Jerry Yan, Ken Chu), Sammi Cheng, and Jolin Tsai.
Andd, like I mentioned before, a HUGEEEEE SUPERSTAR in the old days, and he is STILL a huge superstar today. He'll forever be part of the Four Heavenly Kings♥
I'm going to sleep. But I was happy so I couldn't help but come on Blogger and post this.
I checked the stats of this blog and I gained 266 pageviews in 2 days, an average of 133 pageviews per day. YAYYYY. If you see the graph of the stats, (since it tells me on my dashboard), there's like a dramatic increase, since I usually only get around 65-95 per day. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
Also, on Tumblr since yesterday to now, i've been getting more reblogs and likes compared to usual. I guess that's cuz I posted more original pics rather than reblog a whole bunch.
I also gained 3 followers within 1 hour today on Tumblr. I SWEAR, THAT'S A NEW RECORD(:
Never happened to me before xD
Now that I look back to my followers on Tumblr, I only know 2 person in real life, that goes to my school, that I actually talk to. Rest are strangers that share the same interest as me :D
Not to brag, butttt, im proud of myself.
Andd just checked my Facebook newsfeed, JJ Lin's new 10th album is coming out in March! His birthday is in March too! Excited for his new songs...just 2 more months.
This morning, at 12:00am, I went out to my kitchen, cuz theres a great, clear view of Somerset. My mom and dad were asleep, and bro was at new years eve party. I went there, hoping to see some fireworks, since there were lots of sounds.
Surprisingly, I actually did see fireworks! From my very own house. Dangg I was very surprised. The fireworks were all the way at the very top of Somerset. I stayed at the kitchen for 10ish min. looking at fireworks. I was surprised by how many were set off too. They were soo prettty(:
Okay, here's my new years resolutions/goals, hopefully I can stick to them and yeahh.
Stop using phones, ipod, computer as much.
Exercise more (ughh. i dont think this will happen...)
Grow taller and still be in the range of 97-107 lbs.
Talk to Mr. Saturn more
Keep up good grades
Make more friends
Buy myself a Linda Chung or Raymond Lam CD
Have a happy freshman year.
I really wanna stick to everyone of them, except maybe number 2. Ughh I'm soo lazy.
Andd for number 7, I REALLY WANT Linda's Love Love Love CD...I think I'm gonna buy it in December, as a Christmas/New Years present for myself. 11 more months to go!
There's also this other thing I wanna try for 2013. Saw this on my dashboard for Tumblr, and it sounds cheesy, but heyy..at the end of the year...you never know.
"Start 2013 off with an empty jar and fill it with notes about good things that happen. On New Years eve , empty it and see what awesome stuff happened that year." -copied from tumblr
Except I'm not gonna use a jar, just gonna use whatever container I can find. Hopefully I can fill up the container(:
Other goals I have for the year:
# of pageviews for this blog on 12/31/13, 11:59pm: 25,000 (need 8,976 more pageviews since yesterday.)
# of friends on Facebook on 12/31/13, 11:59pm: 450 OR increase of 20 friends that I actually know and talk to.
# of followers on Tumblr or 12/31/13, 11:59pm: 65 (currently have 31)
# of followers on Instagram on 12/31/13, 11:59pm: 90 (currently have 20)
Kinda doubting number 2 and 4. 3 is ehhh...maybe. and 1 is i definitely need to get that goal.
Happy new year everyone!! 2013...wonder what it'll be like.
*Feel free to stop reading whenever u want, cuz this post is extra extra extraaa long*
I've started on this post like a week or so ago, just cuz every year, I do my timeline of events, and that takes a long time to go back and find out what i actually did. This post is actually really more of for me than for my readers. but yeahh.
This is how I'll remember what I did in my life; even all the little details. They make me smile or laugh and think back to the memories.
I'm typing up the first 4 paragraphs you see here, on December 31, 2012, at 4:41pm. The sky is a little bit light reddish, and light blue. The sun is setting for one last time...
It's 6:45pm and I'm starting to hear the first signs of fireworks ALREADY(:
2012 was fine. The one thing that left a strong impression on me in 2012 isn't the clothes I bought, the hot guys at school, nor the presents I got. I'm very thankful to have met a really good friend, we've become really close really quick. We're soo alike and I totally trust her on all my secrets.
Being friends with her is the highlight of my year 2012; Thank you L.Z for being there for me whenever I need someone to talk to.
I wanna give another thank you to M.L. Although we don't hang as much now, it still feels like we're really close..well @ least too me. I know I can trust you with anything, and I'm really glad we've been able to maintain this trust between us for so many years. <3
Lastly, thank you God, for helping me get through 2012. I don't even know if I believe in God, but I do believe everything happens for a reason, and maybe God is the reason behind all this. I really don't know.
Whatever it is, thank you for letting 2012 be a bearable year.
Personally, I also think I've matured a lot this year.
Especially the trip back to Taiwan in August. I use to be the smallest on my dad's side until my cousin gave birth to 2 kids; one female (1?)and one male(3 yrs old). 2 years ago, the male was born, and even when I went back to Taiwan I'm still spoiled, the center of attention, you name it. But not anymore. This time I went back, the female was born. And it's as if magically, in 2 years I've became a distant relative.
My older cousins, the ones around 20-30 years old use to fool around with me, tease me, but they've stopped. The family members that use to love putting food into my bowl every minute stopped. They treat me like an adult. And I'm just not use to that.
I'm not jealous of my baby cousins, because I love them very much too. The 3 year old plays with me and thinks of me as one of his centers of attention.
But idkk...something just isn't normal.
I also have another baby cousin (3 year old Taylor) from my mom's side.
I use to like hanging out with cousins from my dad's side better than the cousins on my mom's side. (though i love both sides very much). But this time, I loved hanging out with both sides equally the same., maybe even leaning towards mom's side... Maybe cuz my cousins from mom's side's age are closer to my age. And we can talk about boys, asian celebs, sing asian songs (they have this litttle KTV/ TV thing that has songs, and videos on it) on their cars everytime we rode in it.
I'm taking on more responsibility, and I'm no longer the little girl my relatives once loved to tease and mess around with. They treat me as if I'm an adult, and I have to face it maturely.
Okay, back to 2013. I just hope that all my loved ones and I will be safe, healthy, and happy. And I hope that God will be here to help me get through 2013 peacefully and healthily. Maybe with a little bit of luck, I might even win Mr. Saturn's heart(;

"Love-- comes in many different ways.
I always thought that to love you meant to protect you
and not let you get hurt. But the person that hurts you the
most [in the end] turned out to be me.
People say if you can't provide your loved one
with happiness, then you should let go. But if I could start over,
I will choose to keep you, to use my greatest effort to provide you with happiness."
