3rd Year!
Hey guys! Guess what? Today's the 3rd year of this blog(:Started in 2010 and now we're here. Did the world end? NOPE. haha okay.
Below are some stats:
- 11/01/13 7:32pm: a total of 22,274 views.
- 11/01/12 6:30pm: 13,088 views
- Gained: 9,215
- Approx. 25 daily views
- Total posts (including this 1): 422
- Posts made in 1 year: 123
That's not bad I guess. I posted more stuff during the summer, and once school started I didn't have much time to post so it's like 1-3 posts per week. Sorry guys! Or...whoever's reading this. Whoever even reads this.
Well...at least I know that since I also blog about TVB stuff, when ppl search up keywords they get directed to my blog, so I think that's where @ least 1/2 of my views come from.
No one even leaves a message anymore :(
Except for M.T.
Urghh I wish I got more messages. Come on...not even a "hi"? Even if you're never gonna visit this site again, just say hi! Make my day(:
Thankss<3
Other than that, thanks for reading whatever you guys read on here(:
And now I will talk about my day:
Theatre- monologues in small groups w/o script. Apparently, to my surprise, my monologue is directly related to N.Z's (senior). He went first, and then another person went and then I went. And when he was talking I was like thinking omg is this from the same play. and then I went and ppl commented and started saying how they were related. and then N.Z. said that when we performed i should totally go after him. which I think i will, b/c that'll be pretty interesting. and then he asked if my monologue was from "Promedy" and I said yes.
Chem-nothing much. Alpha & Beta Decay.
Algebra 2- group quiz was hella hard and while taking the test i seriously just blanked out and forgot everything. thank goodness one of the ppl in the group was really smart.
English- freaking verbals test was pretty hard too. fudge adams.
Web Publishing- hamada got mad today at one of the students and one of the presenters. it was pretty scary and unexpected for the whole class since he seems like a really easy going, joking around teacher. but dang it was scary.
AP Chinese- boring stuff
AP World- HATE MY FUCKING CLASS. w/ a few exceptions. sub today. boring period.
after school i went to spanish club which was pretty good. the mini tacos were delicious and the soda was good. didnt participate in the crafts section and kinda just sat, chilled, and talked with friends instead.
went trick or treating yesterday. L.L turned out to be 2 hours late so C.C. and I went together.
That's about it. I'm so tired of life and everything.

Reflecting Back At 2012
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
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(;
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE(:

"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."

God and I know the feelings of being lonely.
The most blissful things may change a few times;
And I don't know what it means to 'cherish'.
[If you encounter] Too much disappointment, then try again...
The things I care most about has passed me by infinite times.
Please let me tell you seriously how I feel."

April 2012 wasn't that good, but it did come back up(:
thank you again, from the deepest of my heart.
I also wanna especially thank my friend Pikachu. She is one of the early readers of my blog and has been checking back once in a while. You've seriously contributed to so much of the pageviews.
It's readers like her and the statistics you see above that make me continue this blog.
It shows me that somewhere, somehow, someone shares the same interest as me, and that my complaints about school is not unheard.
And even if it is unheard, well, it just makes me feel good to release my anger when needed so.
