Leadership-nothin much. guys participating or talking about smoking or drugs are such a big turn off.
History-cornell notes all period :/
Chinese-nothin much
PE-ping pong! but soccer tomorrow :(
Geometry-nothin much, just reivew
English-watched the romeo&juliet clip from reduced Shakespeare company. basically re-tells of Shakespeare plays in short, comical versions. it was pretty hilarious. then spent rest of period in groups.
Biology-nothin much



today was a pretty good day. this guy in my leadership class, R.V. offered me a cupcake since its his bday tomorrow. and also the short convo with saturn(:

ohh andd i was more productive than usual today by studying for math LT's thats on Thu. (since theres so many formulas to remember -.-). i love the feeling of productiveness xD

doesnt Tender Huang look like saturn?!? <3

seems like i'll be pretty darn busy this week:

• Wed.-vocab test
• Thu.-bio open note test& 3 math LT's
• Thu.-colorguard orientation
• Fri.-filming for romeo&juliet

Labels: Saturn, tender huang

as you can see, i've finally put up the new theme! lots of details, and i think u can take like 3-5 min. just exploring the new layout and the contents of each page. the 3 squares and 3 circles on the left are the navigation pages.

i made the banner myself. do u like it?(:



finished the new template some weeks ago, but i finally went thru everything one last time today and finalized&published it today. hope u guys like it!

credits to the original designer. but also, credits to me for the extra add on pages.



today i went to Kelsey L.'s house for romeo&juliet today. we were gonna film but it was raining so we just practiced instead and planned for friday's filming.

im pretty proud to say that I've memorized all my lines. Tybalt has a fair amount of lines, it actually has very little lines compared to Mercutio.


math test on thu, and also going to Colorguard orientation on that day too. and friday is filming.

have a great week everyone! and Happy Memorial Day. Thank you to all that risked their lives for us to be here today <3

**WARNING: LONGGG POST**


M.B.'s bday party yesterday was ehhhh....
feelings were like a rollercoaster today ughhh...

anyways, finally watched Saving General Yang (宗烈楊家將) today.



it's a move taking place in the Song dynasty. and its based on true characters and the novels and stories. idkk...its like historical fiction i guess.

there's several versions of theatrical posters, the ones in this post is a mix&match of different batches. i chose the ones i like best(:

more modernized

the movie assumes that you know ur history or at least a bit of background info about the Yang family b/c it's not gonna take time to introduce and explain some specific characters.

the whole movie is basically fighting...
but it was a great movie demonstrating filial piety and brohood.

in their costumes and props

reflection here, below. and plot (kinda long) below the cast list:


it was absolutely heartbreaking to see to see the Yang family members die. and the scene where 6th son brings back his dad's body and other soldiers and the mom and the princess is just kneeling down with tears.

strongest scene for me- when presenting their family photo and then it shows everyone disappearing cept for mom and 6th son

i think the strongest scene for me was the very ending scene though. There was a flashback of the sons and dad and mom in the living room laughing and chatting. then it presents a family photo with dad and mom sitting in middle. and sons on either side of them. then everyone else disappears except for the mom and the 6th son. that scene, when the other family members disappeared...idkk it was just soo strong to me.

my boys in everyday suits!

the scene where 4th and 5th son dies was also heartbreaking. they were hurt and b4 they fell into the water there's a flashback scene to where the 2 were little and they were playing and about to jump off a little cliff and into the water for fun. then it flashes back and as they were falling into the water they look at each other and they have a little little smile on the face, like, this is just like childhood. except now, we're dying together. it seriously breaks my heart thinking about it. :'(

Daddy Yang- Adam Cheng

characters didn't have much lines, so they mostly acted with their expressions, emotions, eyes, and their actions during fighting. came off pretty strong though.

i think the biggest flaw is that there was no room for character development. if i could put myself in the dying sons' shoes while they were dying, it would've been more emotional. like idkk just a more expanded plot regarding each son. would've made the deaths stronger & probably would've made me cry.



nonetheless, the actors still did a wonderful job!

Fav. character is 3rd son (Vic Chou). first of all, i loved his weaponery (bow&arrow) and he looked absolutely gorgeous shooting arrows. his eyes though..are like OMFG. his eyes are give off such a strong feeling, and u can't really tell in the film, but in the posters or screenshots of if u just pause the movie while watching, u can really see those eyes. (ahhhh!~)

3rd son-Vic Chou

Actors wise, Raymond Lam is my biggest bias, with Wu Chun, Vic Chou, and Ekin Cheng close behind, in no specific order.

Great movie demonstrating filial piety and the relationship between bros. not to mention the wonderful cast of hot guys!!

6th son-Wu Chun

Cast(not all characters are shown here):

• Daddy Yang- Adam Cheng 鄭少秋
• 1st bro- Ekin Cheng 鄭伊健
• 2nd bro- Yu Bo
• 3rd bro- Vic Chou 周渝民
• 4th bro- Li Chen
• 5th bro- Raymond Lam 林峯
• 6th bro- Wu Chun 吳尊
• 7th bro- Fu Xin Bo

Plot: 

*parts in brackets not explained in movie thoroughly*

[Daddy Yang with his Yang family is very strong in terms of fighting, war tactics etc. so the emperor likes him a lot, which leads to this other guy, Pan Ren Mei (daddy Pan) to be really jealous. Daddy Yang's 6th son is in love with the princess and so is Pan Ren Mei's son, Pan Bao. Pan family holds a fighting contest and whoever wins will get to marry princess. Daddy Yang doesn't want the 2 family to be big enemies so he tells his 6th son not to go. the 7th son, however, is pissed and feels that his 6th bro should be able to fight for his girl so he sneaks out to fight for his bro. Pan Bao tries to cheat with a weapon, but in the end 7th son accidentally kills him anyways.]

1st son-Ekin Cheng

Now Daddy Pan is pissed off and plans for revenge. Coincidentally, the Liao people is attacking the borders of the Song and while discussing plans with the emperor, Daddy Pan recommends Daddy Yang's 6th and 7th son to take the lead for their army against the Liao. Daddy Yang, knowing that Pan only said that cuz 6th and 7th son doesn't have prior experience to war, so he volunteers himself to take the lead instead.

Vic (3rd son)'s weapon is the bow&arrow

Daddy Yang leaves with Pan and the other soldiers; with Yang ahead and Pan behind serving as backup. Even though they were pretty stable condition while fighting, Pan suddenly orders to retreat on purpose. Yang's army that's on the battlefield can not retreat. Daddy Yang receives an arrow with poison to his back but still manages to escape with some of his army members to Two Wolf Mountain (兩狼山), with the Liao army surrounding them.

5th son- Raymond Lam

Back at home, the Yang family gets news of what happened to their dad and all 7 sons decides to go and find, save, and bring back their dad. before they leave, mommy Yang goes to this fortune teller guy and he states that "When fate is irresistible, 7 kids will go and 6 kids back." (當知天命難違，七子去六子回)

whoever drew this...dangggg boy/girl

Knowing that she will lose a kid, she still lets them all go, but tells 1st son of their fortune and 1st sons says that he will bring all his bros and his dad home safely. (even if it means risking his life to do so)
what they dont know is that fortune teller actually meant "7 kids will go, and only the 6th son will come back" (in chinese its worded the same)

6th son- Wu Chun

then fight fight fight and everyone dies except for 6th son. he brings back his dad's dead body in the end.

there's a LOT more details than just fight fight fight but i set up the intro, rest if u wanna watch it, gotta go watch it urself.

As long as I've got my suit and tie, I'mma leave it all on the floor tonight ... All pressed up in black and white

Yesterday was dad's 50th birthday. 50 already? ohh dangg...i just never thought...nvm.

anyways, so at like 3ish went to the Y with family friend. then went to old country buffet for dinner.

today i cleaned my window and omg its disgusting. i need to clean it more often. how do spiders even get in my room. goshh -.- they need to invent a thing where when spiders, ants, flies, bees, or other bugs get in and they would die. like a laser thing and then the laser would then transport the bugs to this box and all we have to do is clean that box. sooo much easier omg.



while typing that last paragraph, a fly flew into my room -.- and i spent +5 min. trying to get rid of it with this thing called 電蚊拍 its really useful and i use it for all creatures. my fav. tool of all time.

ughhh bugss.

anyways, when school ends, im gonna do a huge cleaning for my room. getting rid of dust and all that. and i hope i can keep it clean for a longer period of time.



i have a math test tomorrow and while reviewing at school i didn't get anything. but now that i sat down and actually study, i don't even know what to study for.

i spent around a hour on my original prologue sonnet for Romeo&Juliet's act 3 since there wasn't one. pretty challenging to have 10 syllables and make every other line rhyme. its like writing lyrics. it was kinda fun tho; better than studying for math.

why cant it just be summer already. sleeping late, waking up late, watching dramas, eating, blogging, keeping the room clean, playing piano, hang with friends, play tennis, go shopping, photoshop, etc. etc. etc. ahhhhh cant wait.

^^ while typing that i had to get rid of a spider -.-

i mentioned like a few weeks ago that i was editing a new theme for my blog. its pretty much done. but too lazy to upload it. i think i'll have it done and up on memorial day at the latest.

people are so good with HTML codes, i wish that one day i'd be good enuff to create an all new, original blog layout, not just edit other's codes. however, people really do have amazing layouts and themes, and it already takes me +1 hour to edit and create new elements and pages besides the maker's original codes. if i was to make my own it'd probably take like....4 hours.



okay thats it for now. gonna try to go back to studying. it wont be effective studying though.

ohh one more thing...hmm i wanna do colorguard next year...maybe. let's see how orientation goes first. okay bye. have an awesome week everyone!




[139th day of 2013: 7/10]

omgg soo freaking hot today. 30 degrees C. (sorry i dont do Fahrenheit.)

the only bad thing is that since its gonna be sunny all week, im running out of stuff to wear in this hot weather.


why cant it just be summer. dont have to worry about heat and what to wear and it can still be sunny outside if i decide to go out(:



[126th day of 2013: 6.5/10]

tennis with SN, BH, SP, SP's bro, and JW today. JW came a bit  really late though.
it was soo freaking hot and we were there for 4 hours. we took lots of breaks though, so the total playing time probably only adds up to a hour. Got some nice tanning done, but i still dont look that tan -.-



it was so fun! i love tennis(: really enjoyed playing singles with BH.

it feels so much like summer, i dont even wanna go to school. i just want it to be summer already.

sighh 6 more weeks.



and all the tests-eoc, finals will start to pile in soon -.-


dreamed of Mr. Buff last night/this morning. it was weird. so it all started when we were at like this room? or someone's house? anyways it was a living room and there were ppl. we were on the couch. and then one of my friend had to leave so buff picked her up bridal style and sent her to the door.



and i made this jealous face to the girl sitting next to me (which i have no idea who it was) and buff returned and saw me. so then he like slided down from the back of the couch, his face getting closer to mine. and i was just sitting there awkwardly facing my friend. and my friend was facing the tv.

then buff's face got so close, and his lips were on mine. no french kiss or anything, but his lips were just like on mine. and we both didnt say anything. it was so weird. im getting a wtf feeling while typing this.

after that i think we started dating?? idkk
then next scene....

i think before this scene we got into a fight. so now im on the sidewalk with my family and other ppl, getting ready to cross the street. and buff comes and holds my hand and begs for forgivness. either that or idkk...i dont really remember. but thats just say he was begging for forgiveness cuz he did something wrong. and then i got persuaded and so i gave in and forgave him and said something or something happened (i forgot)

then he hugged me and picked me up and we kissed. its like that pic above, except i didnt lift my legs up in the air. but anyways, it was a full on french kiss and all that. on the sidewalk. in front of my family and other strangers. but it was weird cuz my family was talking among themselves, and they knew we were kissing but they just carried on their convo normally and they only glanced at us for a few seconds and they didn't even look surprised. it was like as if we kiss everyday or something.

then i woke up. and i felt so happy(: haven't had a sweet dream in quite a while. thing is, idk why buff though. cuz im not even paying that much attention to him anymore..


hope this will be a good week(:

*warning: a really boring post. purpose is only for me to remember my past memories. nothing exciting is included in this post*

went to M.T.'s bday party yesterday after school. and thing is, i would've typed this up and posted it yesterday but i was dead tired after the party. so heres a short summary of what happened:

rode the bus there. sang happy bday and had ice cream cupcakes from coldstone! they were good. i love ice cream cupcakes! mine had an oreo on top. the whole table was filled with snacks. pocky, 2 differ. types of chips, strawberries, oranges, juice, candy-kit kat and other stuff, crackers. then we forgot to do our grandma dance after singing the bday song so MT, BH, and i did that. and we couldnt stop laughing xD then we took group pics. then we spent another like 20 min. taking silly pics, sexy pics, etc. hahahha


then we played on the piano.
next MT brought out her box of CDs and her CD player which looked really pretty. and then we danced. and by we, i really mean only the cool people- S.P., and the grandmas. the rest were just staring, video taping, or playing games on their phones. =.= even tho we asked them to join several times they were like noo and whatever whatever lame excuses. okay, i understand that some ppl dont wanna dance. but seriously, just sitting there and playing on ur phone? thats just plain disrespectful to the host, because ur showing her that you're bored.

and then we went to the park and played and took pics.
then back to house, A.D. put on makeup. MT tried to make LZ double eyelid but didnt work. and thats basically it.

it was really fun(:

when i got home i changed and went on my bed with my phone. i was in lazy mode for HOURS. until sleeping time actually. skipped dinner cuz i was really thirsty and not hungry and tired as fudge.

today i went to this Ci Ching event after chinese school. today's activity reminded me a lot of a talk show. but basically we talked about communication between parents and child. what we liked, and what we didnt like, etc. then we made these tie-dye bandannas for next week's mothers day. mine turned out to be light blue while other people had a slightly darker shade.

but thats okay, i really love the light sky blue. i made mine real simple, with only one blotch of tie-dye on the side. i feel like simple stuff is well...simple. i feel like a complicated design of tie-dye bandanna is too much and will only attract weird looks. less is more, they say. so yeahh..thats only my opinion though.

tennis with S.P. and S.N tomorrow?? Possibly? hopefully? idkk..we'll see.




[124th day of 2013: 7/10]

History-pretty chill. had a sub and i like him better than Law. today we were doing document based stuff in groups. i got a good group so it was actually fun(:

PE-pickleball...sighh

English-L.O. surprised me by volunteering to present our poem. haha, well @ least we got it over.


It was really funny in English today when AJ and maybe some other people kept saying that Onishi always wear plaid stuff. and so Onishi got back at him by insulting him like 10 times in front of the class saying stuff like "what are YOU wearing AJ?" "where'd you get your shirt? your mom bought it for you AJ?" "Did you get dressed in the dark AJ?" or like after giving some directions, he'll say "is that okay with you AJ?" and other insults that i forgot. It was pretty funny since he was like half yelling them and really emphasized on his name, AJ.
and then J.L said that he should just sing when hes mad and Onishi said that he'll keep that in mind.



i should be studying for math but i don't know what to study for. like idkk i feel like i've been studying for the same thing over and over and it just gets boring.

omgg guess what i finally reached 50 followers on my personal tumblr today! only 2 are people i know, so i'm pretty satisfied with 48 strangers that want to follow me for all my TVB celeb spams(:


144 on my Food&Fashion tumblr, all strangers. for this type of blog, 144 is nothing, since majority of people appeals to food and fashion. who cares, i'm happy with that number, and it'st still gonna increase anyways(:

have a nice day!
