I'm getting ready to go to sleep, but I keep wanting to post something. Like, I guess I wanna record and keep a part of me which I can look back on. My last words before 18.
idk why 18 is such a "turning point" age...i mean, you are still limited in a lot of of things in society. In US, No drinking, no gambling, no....idkk
Yes voting, yes....?
On the other hand, I can legally drink in taiwan now...
but anyways.
So much has happened in 17 years. It's amazing how much things change over the course of 17 years. Currently listening to JJ's "Too Bad" and i guess it somewhat fits this theme. It's really, too bad..because I can't go back anymore. I'm no longer a minor.
I'm not looking forward to anything at all; I'd much rather stay a kid. I don't wanna grow old, I don't want time to pass. Life doesn't get much better...more and more people leave you.
Am I suppose to be excited and happy for my incoming birthday? I surely don't feel so.
I fear change. But a lot more change is coming in the upcoming months...college...friends...
Sigh...
Hope my 18th will be a smooth one. Most important is that everyone I love and everyone that loves me are happy and healthy.
It's been a peaceful last day of 17.
Here's to more joy, tears, stress, and changes in the upcoming 18th.
I'll blame it on upcoming finals, which is occurring this week. Ohhh no.
Let's see...
Wed: Theatre & Web. Publishing
Thu: Chem, English, & Chinese
Fri: Math & AP World
Woww..this schedule...
it's like gradually building up. Wed. is superrrr easy, and thu. is like medium hard, and friday is like BAM BAM BAM, im just gonna give you all the hard tests on one day.
wtfff ughh. i want wed. to mix with friday. like one elective, one core. not 2 elective, 2 core. u no what i mean....
okay ughh.... hope i do good. the ones im worried about is math, ap world, and english.
kinda theatre too, cuz i have a low grade, cuz stupid teacher cant fucking grade fair. geezus christ. cant teach either. OMFG.
okay, anyways.
yesterday was pretty good for 2 reasons:
it was my birthday. went to Maggiano's for dinner with SN, SL, SP, KC, and BH. it was like a semi-formal dinner. and i had a pretty good time (: my cake was good too. "A Cheesecake Named Desire" from Coldstone. which was an ice cream cake <3
so then afterwards we walked around at lincoln square
there was a drunk couple there, and they were yelling go seahawks, and they came up to us, and they were so drunk, they couldnt even walk straight. and they bumped into BH, like physically bump into her. and then they just stopped there, and told us to yell "Go Seahawks!" So we did, cuz they are drunk so we didn't wana like you know...yeahh. and then they left. kinda scary...
but yeah..okay now i have to get use to saying im 16. and omgggg i can get a job!
anyways, the 2nd good thing is that we made it into the Superbowl!! Won against 49ers, and now we're playing against Broncos in 2 weeks. Woot Woot, go HAWKSS.
okay. lets all im gonna type for now, cuz i need to go study for AP World...byeee guys.

This year has been eventful. Well, which year hasn't? Reading through the stuff I did this year was wow. It's just cool to read about stuff you've done, stuff that isn't important enough for you to think about everyday, but then you go back and read it and it's like ohh I remember this! it's a cool thing.
I think the thing that I remember most about this year is M.T. moving away. That's probably the biggest. One of my few closest friend...sigh.
Another major thing is becoming more independent. With mom being at work or volunteer all the time, and then grandpa passing away...
This year, I finally realized how alone I actually am. How little I talk to my parents. How little time I have with mom. How much time I spend in my room. I don't even know who my family is anymore...
Other than that, not much worth mentioning about I guess. The boring life of me.
But I'm glad to have gotten through it safely, glad all the ones I love are still healthy.
2014 will definitely bring some changes to my life such as bro going to college and whatnot. Just hope that I'll be able to cope with these changes. 2014 doesn't need to be amazing. I just wish that the ones I love and the ones that love me are happy and healthy.
Ohh and also, crossing this year would be 1314. Get it? (in Chinese) lol okay...
"天空是綿綿的糖 就算塌下來又怎樣 雨下再大又怎樣 乾脆開心的淋一場"
Let's welcome this new year with a smile everyone!(:
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(;
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."

Happy Birthday Jason Chan!
**Jason Chan 陳智燊 not to be confused with Jason Chen (Youtube star) or Jason Chan Pak Yu**
I see some packs...and u'll see it if u zoom in. but u cant do that.
so i'll just keep those packs to myself(:
I'm gonna keep this to a short post.
Today's 12/12/12. What a special day for Jason! Turning 35 years old. dangggg u are old. u don't look 35 though. wtf, every actor under TVB doesn't look as old as they're supposed to be. what is this?? <3
Anyways, so I've started noticing you around June 26th ish of this year. That's pretty recent. But i have watched other dramas of you before, just haven't taken the time to go and really discover you. And that's because TVB hasn't gave you a major role yet. Except for now. 12/18 Blissful Ferris Wheel is coming out! and you're the main guy! along with Linda Chung and Lin Xia Wei. ahh can't wait!!
Food
2012 has been a pretty darn good year for you I'd say. Getting casted in a more obvious role in No Good Either Way (thats how i first discovered you) and then getting casted in Blissful Ferris Wheel. After the drama starts airing, you're gonna be getting so much more fame and recognition than before I bet. Can i please keep you to myself?
Ummm...I guess I don't have much to say. Except for you're really adorable, and like a big kid at the age of 35. Like, looking at your Yahoo Blog from a few years back, dangg how cute. Still a kid at heart <3
Anyways, thats about all I have to say. Watch a bday post for you be like 3 times longer 5 years later. OHH NOO, YOU'LL BE 40. stop aging. pleasee.

Ohh speaking of age, go get a girlfriend please. A good one. I actually don't know too much about your rumors, are you a guy that likes to party hard core and go to clubs? idkk...but i hope you're a good guy. an innocent one. a...a GOOD GUY.
