Yup, last Homecoming for me.
The pep-rally was creepy. They had a drag queen contest featuring the entire football team did an aerobic dance.
The game was great, we won.
The Band was great. I backward marched while video recording their marches. The half-time was not fun because of homecoming. The homecoming court stole the show. The only downside of the game was the weather, it was fucking COLD!!!
Homecoming dance was fun.
Dress shoes are really uncomfortable. But I shouldn't complaint, at least I don't have to wear heels. I finally found a reason to wear my nice analog watch.
I brought a tripod. I took some nice time lapse photos of the dance. You can see people's ghostly shadow movements.
It was fun, I really liked it, but the music sort a sucked. There was only like six songs that isn't hip-hop.
I danced, yes I know, shocking isn't it, I danced.
Everyone was awesome. My friends are the best!

Corrupt corporation and academy.
I don't understand why do we have to buy the cap and gown?
I know the cap will have sentimental value, but the cap is a useless piece of fabric after the graduation ceremony. Jostens used to rent out the gowns, but they changed it.
Now they have to force us to buy it.
It is unfair for us students and competing companies. The students can't find a better price, escpically with the economy these days, low price, high quality goods are very important. Other companies doesn't have a chance to even let their business be seen by the possible customers that are the students.
Why do the school allowed such monopoly over the students? Isn't it illegal?

中秋節快樂!!
Happy Mid-Autumn!!
I love Mid-Autumn, but it is boring here in the States. Sure there are the celebration at BGSU, but they just don't feel like home.
What I mean by home? Well, Hong Kong style celebration. Paper candle lanterns and plastic electric lanterns hanging every where. Kids playing with candles. Everyone is playing outside in parks and public area.
Moon Cake. It wouldn't be Mid-Autumn without Moon Cakes. Made with lotus seed past and with one or two egg yolks on the inside. The real/good/properly/made in Hong Kong moon cakes are really good. Unlike what ever they give out at the BGSU Mid-Autumn celebration.
Every quarter of an average sized moon cake has 196 Calories. That mean 784 Calories in each moon cake, and 3136 Calories per box.
I have always wanted to try the Snow-Skin Moon Cakes, or ice cream moon cakes. The snow-skin is special, they are made with modern flavors. The ice cream moon cakes sound interesting, but I doubt they are very special.
I miss holidays in Hong Kong.

My life bar is approaching zero
I am slowly dying from school work.
I know, I know, you are probably thinking "you are not taking both AP courses, so don't complain." I know I am not one of those duel AP people. So I admit, I am not dying as fast as they are. They deserve much kudos. And I am sure that they will have a much better future than I will.
The workload in AP chem isn't very much, but understanding some of them are somewhat hard. This is my favorite logic base class. I can't complain too much about this.
I love Japanese. I really like that class, but it is really hard. I am behind in the materials, and I keep forgetting things. I found that my background in Cantonese helps a bit. A few of the Japanese words sound a like with their Cantonese counterpart.
Calculus is hell for me. I have no clue what's going on. I understand some of the concepts, but I don't know how to apply them. The worst of all: research paper. Yet, I have to use English to explain math. NOO!!!
I will have to work hard. I need to get at least B's.

Friday Night Lights
The football game was awesome!
BG Unit Tailgated. The tailgating was cool.
There was a mini-grilled. There was no spatula to flip the burgers so someone made spatula of aluminum cans.
I failed at throwing a football. Some one, I won't name who, kept shelling us with football.
Some one also brought in a rocking chair.
Game and Band.
The band was awesome as always.
The half time show was also good. Beth played really good.
Catherine, Kristan, and John did the "head chopping" maneuver. That was amazing.
We won the game.
I followed the band back to the band room. Ben Haubert is one of the most energetic person I have met. He danced all the way from the stadium to the band room and kept dancing in there with the band. The celebration dance was crazy, but sweet.
I took so many pictures and videos. I can make a documentary.
Dance Party.
Nick hosted the best party that I had been to.
The party was after the game. I went with Kelly, Justine, and other band members from the band room.
I stayed outside most of the time. The party was cool, but the dance floor is way too hot. Both literally and non-literally.
The BG Unit guys did a dance for the ladies.
The night was awesome. I am feeling that I am using the word awesome a bit too much in this blog, but I don't know any other words to describe it. Maybe I could have used fantabulous, it is a word according to Microsoft Word 2003.

Panoramic
I found this new thing on the web. It is call Photosynth.
This program find points of similarity from a number of photos and merge them into a simulated 3D image.
Here are few of my creation from the pictures that I took in Hong Kong.
http://photosynth.net/Search.aspx?query=celeritas
Photosynth was featured in an episode of CSI: New York where the CSI team used this program to form an in depth picture of a prom.

Achievement Unlocked!
I've been playing Team Fortress a lot lately. Because I won't be playing as much after school gets serious.
The new achievements for the classes really motivate you to play more.
I've unlocked all three new weapons for the Pyro. I need one more for the Medic, and just starting on the Heavy's.
I hope that they might even add new classes, but I highly doubt that they would.
But what happen when the release all the achievement packs? Will they make more and newer unlockable weapons?
If any of you have the game, my Steam account name is Celeritas, add me and tell me who you are. We can have a game.

Back to school.....
The first week back is alright.
My schedule was hell, but it got fixed.
I dropped Senior Studio for AP Chemistry... stupid administration for stupid scheduling.
Lunch is alright..... I have all of the lunches again, at least for this semester. But B Lunch is freaking boring because no one is in it, so I guess I'll hang out in the awesome air conditioned band room with awesome people.
Next week, my BGSU classes will start. So there will be more work.
I guess it will be alright. I am taking Japanese and Calculus.
Sage and Leslie are also taking Japanese. But Sage is taking it at a different time than me, and I don't know what time Leslie is taking the class.
So now, I will be enjoying my last weekend without (much) work.

Running out of time
There are so little time, but so much stuff to do.
This and last Wednesday, I went to the science museum. And on both occasion, we got kicked out because the museum is about to close. Today, we also went to the history museum, but also got kicked out because of closing time.
But my time here is also running out. I have a few weeks left here before returning back to the States. I have so much stuff that I want to do. (>.<) But at least I will have to come back next year, and it will be longer, I guess...

Check point!
Since I've been back in Hong Kong, I noticed that there are a lot of police check points on the road.
I remember seeing a check point once or twice every few month. But now, you can hardly go a week without seeing a check point.
Don't know why... Most of the time, they target people driving alone and taxis. Maybe the people in blues are searching for smuggled drugs. Who knows?

Legality
Went to a computer mall in Sham Shui Po yesterday.
I like that place. There are lot more variety of products here. There are digital drawing tablets there. I saw one that the tablet is a monitor. I want to buy a Wacom Intuos3, but I am going to price check on other places and online.
I bought a DVI to HDMI cable. A few CD pens.
I saw some computer games for less than HKD$ 100. They are obviously illegal copy, but I was tempted. But I thought, it might not be good for my computer. But I did saw some photoshop programs.
I really want that tablet, but I am going to look for the best price.

Old wood house.
Went to the old wood house the other day. It is out in the country side in the New Territory.
I remember, back in the day, when you can still live there. Now, the second floor is caving in. There are water leaks.
This visit is a salvage mission. We went there to take some old stuff back into town. Also to take some scrap metal to sell.
We found an old camera case that I heard many story about. I heard that I dropped the case and broke the camera. I was very young. I can't remember that event. We also found some old break for my grandpa's old car.
There were a lot of bugs there. I saw a beautiful purple dragonfly. Some butterfly. I got bit by a few mosquitoes, but their bites are not as bad as those from the city.
I didn't have any runny nose there, no itchy eyes.

Fortress!
Today I went to the Coastal Defense Museum.
It was nice. I took about four hundred pictures.
The main exhibition is nicely air conditioned. It show the history of military of Hong Kong. From the 1300's, to the Opium War, to British Occupation, to Japanese Occupation, to after 1997.
The out side is the fortifications. There are a few cannon and underground passage ways. There are also some war torn ruins.
I am a bit disappointed that the gift shop didn't have any thing that say Coastal Defense Museum on it. But I did buy two nice pins that are replica of The Hong Kong Royal Police and British Royal Army insignia. My mom bought a magic trick thing.

THE UBER BOX!!
Yesturday I went to The MEGA BOX.
It is the largest mall in Hong Kong. It is about 16 stories high, not including the 2 basement levels.
That place only have a few stores that I am interested in. But I love the interior architecture and design of the building.
I did went to a book store. I love that place, they sell books, of course, but also, DVDs VCDs CDs BRs, and stationary, and USB powered goodies.
I bought a four games bundle for the price of one game!!!! Company of Heroes, Supreme Commander, War Hammer and an expansion pack.
I also saw some Haruhi Suzumiya novels and manga. I would by the manga, but they were missing volume 2. For the novels, I wanted to buy some too, but I don't know how to read. (>.<)

Spaces problem
For my time in Hong Kong, the primary source of my digitized data out put, in put, entertainment, and information is at my Grandma's house. My uncle family live with her and they have broadband access.
The internet speed is quite fast, about 100 mpbs, but I can't seem to access MySpace at that place. I can access it from other internet port. I don't understand why.
So all my blog update at my MySpace page will be late, but I will be too lazy to edit any of the blog posts. So blog posts from many days might just appear on the same day.

Alternative
For this trip to Hong Kong, I purposely didn't bring any games with me.
My goal was, and still is, to finished the first volume to my novel and to experience some nice free flash based/ independent games.
Those flash games are really creative. They are really fun and interesting. Some don't have any good graphics but they play well and some of them look cute.
I really like these independent game makers. They work on these title to have fun and to let other people to have fun. They don't mind doing these game for free, because they are having fun and they want other people to enjoy their creation.
Here are some of the games.

extra strong
The mosquitoes here are very strong. They are hard to kill. Their bites are much bigger. There are more of them. They can even sting over cloths.
The Wind God
The Wind God just pasted Hong Kong.
The real name of the typhoon is Fengshen. Wind God is what Fengshen mean if you are to translate it.
The typhoon arrived last night. It went from a level 1 to 3 then to 8, in the evening.
Trees got blown over. Bus stops got blown over.
My Aunty, Uncle and Cousin is going back home. This morning we went to the airport. Their plane got delay. We ate lunch, say good bye, and we left.
By the time we left the airport, the typhoon sign went back to a level 3. We went past an car accident in a tunnel. But I doubt it is weather related.
Today is the only day, since I return to Hong Kong, that isn't hot. I am actually cold.
There ain't much to do today...

It's a small world, also a small park.
I went to Disneyland Hong Kong with family on Friday.
It was fun. Not as fun as the one in LA. But still fun.
The park was small. Many things are still being constructed and not opened yet.
The transportation there was convenient and affordable. $20.7 HKD for one-way subway ride to the park. They also have this nice automatic train to the park.
The best part is Space Mountain, but it wasn't very exciting. Ocean Park got better roller coasters.

Sham Shui Po
Today I went to Sham Shui Po. It is a distributing district. Each street sells something differnt.
One street only sells cloths, one street only sells electronics, and one street only sells toys and collectibles.
I love that place, but my mom and relative was all tired half after walking a few blocks so we left. But I did bought many things. Everything there are so affordable.
Even with all the variety I still can't find what I am looking for. I can't find good Yuki Nagato figures. She is the least popular of the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya characters. But when I find it, it will be cheaper compare to the other characters.
I am going to return to Sham Shui Po. I only walked around one block of the toy street and I have yet visited the electronic street and the computer shopping center.

Rain rain, go away, come again, another day!
It been raining every day here. The weather report aways say sunny, cloudy, and rain every day. They are right every time. You'll see all three at some point during the day.
We had plan to go to Disneyland, Ocean Park, or the Police museum. We had to alter plan for the past few days.
Yesterday, we did go to buy some Chinese Herbal Medicines. But we did it in the rain, we actually waited for the rain to stop, but it didn't stop, but we went anyway.

UBER FAST!!!!
I've just set up a modem at my Grandma's place to split the DSL there.
The connection is very fast here. I downloaded portal in 15 minutes. I downloaded Team Fortress 2 in two hours.
It could also be that our modem at home might just suck. It was free...

Shopping!
I went shopping on Thursday and Friday.
On Thursday, it was more like window shopping since I didn't buy any thing.
I went to Mong Kok with family. I actually didn't mind looking at cloths with them. I guess I missed the fashion of Hong Kong. Then I went to a shopping center that is almost filled with toys and collectible shops.
I wanted to buy so much stuff there. But every thing is a bit expensive. I want to buy a figure of Yuki Nagato from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. But it cost $180 HKD. I guess after converting the currency to USD, it is not as expensive, but I doubt I can get the funding.
The next day I did buy something I like and still cheep. The only reason why it is cheep, it is because I seen it in the States. I saw a Union Flag from Gundam 00 at the Animerathon this year. It cost $30 USD. I bought the Flag for $148 HKD which is about $18 USD.
I love Hong Kong!!!!!

Dead Like Me
Sandy introduced me to this show.
'Dead Like Me' is about an eighteen year old girl who got killed by a soviet space station's toilet seat falling from orbit. She, George, got recruited by a group of grim reaper.
The story tells how George must adapt to her new life as a reaper. She must take people's soul before they are killed. Her identity is gone, far as any one alive is concerned. She live among the living but she is discouraged to have too much interaction with them.
Her boss discouraged, almost forbid, her to interact or even thinking about her old family. But nothing is stopping her. George still sneak back home to check up on her family. She regret not interacting with her sister much when she was still alive. Now she helps her sister to cope with her death and help her with life.
This show is funny, witty, and makes you think about your life. I love it. Too bad there are only two seasons. Check it out on DVD or online sometime.
They are making a 'Dead Like Me Movie.' But some characters and actors won't be returning. They say, if the sale of the direct to DVD movie dose well, they might just film more episodes.

Party like a rock star
Not really, but parties are fun.
The quiz bowl party is, as always, at Al-Mar. Not every one on the team went, the only senior that show up was Kapil.
Vince, Liz, Heather, and I was in a team. Meg, Brand, Zack, and Andrew was on a team.
I sucked, the highest score out of the three games is 75, the lowest was 35.
Andrew sucked at first, then he was a beast.
Liz was good at one game but was ok at the others. She was really good when Kapil was there.
Heather bowled with an injured knee, and did pretty good for a person throwing the ball the speed of a turtle.
I went to Ben B's grad party. It was fun. The wind was so strong. It blew away many food and forks. Joel, Eric H, another Eric, and I talked about Transformer and other shows.
Ben owns the cutest kitten. Emily, Jeremy, Amy, and I spent an hour with the kitty. Jeremy and I took so many pictures and videos.
I ate something NEW! I didn't know of this combination before. Popcorn plus chocolate
My question is: Should I throw a grad party next year?

ART..... ARt...... Art...... art......
I just went to the senior art show downtown. The art works are wonderful!
Philip was there performing on a keyboard. There were also some food.
We had to vote our favorite piece. I couldn't decide. They were all so good.
My favorite art works from the show are by Erin and Alma-Lynn. They are very talented.

Walk around in circle
After getting home from Feats of Clay, I went to Relay for life.
It is okay. I took many pictures as well. Rebbecca tried to stop me.
There was nothing much, I joked around with some friends. Kapil dressed as a woman. We played around with glow sticks.
I left around 11:00-ish. The event was fun, but wasn't very exciting.

So easy a caveman can do it!
Last Friday was the Feats of Clay.
Woke up at 5:50 am. Arrived at the school at 6:35. We packed our wheels and other equipments onto the bus. We actually got a tag-along, who wasn't on the team.
Our theme is "we invented the wheel." We all dressed as cave people. Leopard spots pants and messed up hair styles. We also have dirt makeups and the guys got 'mono'brow.
The bus ride was fun. Every did their makeups on it. Layan made up us a theme song.
I forgot what time we arrived at Columbus. The events were at the art museum/institute parking lot. The temperature was initially a bit cool, but after we starts and in the tent of crowed people, it became mild and comfortable.
The Cylinder Stacking was first, then the Mug Relay, after that is No Hands, last but not least, the Coil to The Sky.
The mug team made 80 some mugs. In general, we won sixth, but we won, with our caveman costumes, the first place in the T-shirt contest.
After that we say around a gallery and enjoy the beautiful artworks. They all look wonderful!
We ate lunch at The North Market. People were staring at us as we walked around looking for stuff to eat. There was many variety of foods there, from New York to Japanese, Italian to Mexican. I bought a nice freshly made New York style sub, named 'The Wise Guy', at a deli. It had ham, beef, cheese, tomato, and other goodness. There was also a few fresh fish, vegetable, fruit, and flower shops. There was on chocolate shop that the other kids said was really good, each small piece of chocolate cost $1.75. I would have bought one, but it was just too expensive.
I was so tired but I still had Relay for Life to do. We arrived back home around 6pm. I hurry home I ate the sub that I couldn't finished at the North Market. I also uploaded all my photos to my hard drive. I took 1GB worth of pictures, about 300 pics. It took 20 min.
Feats of Clay was fun, I may ponder upon if I shall participate in this event.

I suck at rhythm games
I found out that there would be a high possibility that both AP Chemistry and Senior Studio would be on 6th period. >.<
My mom also broke my Prom glass. >.<
But my weekend is going just fine. I had a nice time at Emily's late birthday party. I suck at rhythm games. I can't play Guitar Hero, I can't play DDR, I can't play FFR, I can't play Elite Beat Agent. (-_-)
I got my new portable external hard drive.
I downloaded a new Portal map pack that was created by the same people that made Portal: The Flash Version.
Now, I just have too read for school...

La Dolce Vita
I woke up 7 am Saturday morning. I signed up to help setting up Prom. I was the first to arrive. I have never seen the Union empty before. I took some photo of the emptiness. Rebbecca was the second to arrive, then Mrs. Sexton. On Friday, Becca and Sandy already constructed parts to the archway. Becca and I was then to assemble it. Sandy was also supposed to help but didn't show up. It took two hours to decorate and put the archway up.
After helping Becca, I went home. I played Team Fortress 2 for two hours. I got some new achievements and the new Gold Rush map was fun! After that, I went to Walmart with my mom. When I got home, I took an hour nap. It was a nice nap.
I arrived at Cathrine's house around 6:50PM. There we, Melanie, Becca, Alexi, Emily, Caitlin, Ben, Cathrine, and I gather. We took some pictures. Played with Cathrin's parrot.
Emily drove Caitlin, Becca, and I to the Union. She's really good driving a manual. We got there at 7:15 and was one of the first to enter the door. No lines!! We all chose our seats based on the desert that is for that seat. I walked around and took some pictures. It was some time before we were able to get food. We were all hungry. Leslie, Jess, and Greg joined our table.
The food was okay. The vegetable sucked. The garlic bread was wonderful. The spaghetti was normal. The chicken and parmesan was also ok. The desert was wonderful. I had a strawberry cheesecake, it was sooo gooood.
I actually danced! Really I danced! It was fun. I got tired in the middle, then got my energy back.
When prom was over, Emily drove Caitlin and me back to Cathrine's house to change for after prom. Alexi arrived a few minuets after our arrival. Cathrine gave Caitlin her house key because she have to stay to help clean up. We let Cathrine's do out into the yard and we enter. We change and waited for Cathrine, but it turn out Ben forgot to pick her up. While waiting for Cathrine, Emily let the dog back in and Alexi played with it. I am sure that I heard the bird snore. After Cathrine arrived, her dad offered us some coffee. Alexi and I accepted the offer.
We left for the rec. center. There, I did the wall climb. Jen, Allison, and Kristan also climbed. Allison was so scared. I walked around and found Sandy and Brittany sitting around the DDR mat and criticizing the dancers. Sandy offered a game of Wallyball downstairs. It was like a freestyle extreme volleyball game. We played, I sucked. Then Kristin and Jen joined. Kristin had her hands covering her head when ever the ball flied near her. Then Emily, Caitlin, Allison, and Kortne joined. Kortne got hit in the head twice. Emily was so squeamish. We got back up when the raffle starts. Emily won a PS2 and Guitar Hero III with controller.
Emily drove me home afterward. And I fell a sleep the second I open the house door. I loved that day. I can't wait till next year.

Third......
I woke up saturday morning at 6. I ate breakfast. I was the first student to arrive at the school.
Liz was second, Vince, Brandon, then Meg, then Ross and Kapil, and Zack.
We lift on time around 7.
Kapil actually brought a pillow. Meg brought her binder of crosswords.
On our way there, Ross and Kapil slept. I tried to sleep too, but the damn bus was just too shaky. Liz also tried to sleep, but every time the bus stop, she kept sliding out of her seat.
We arrived at Defiance a little after 8. Andrew was already there. We ate some snacks. Vince, Ross, Kapil, and Andrew switched their name tag. Liz and Meg attempted to french braid Zack's hair. Then it became twin braid, like the Wendy's girl. Zack took it off before the games start.
We kicked ass at first. Then we battled with Defiance, our new nemesis, but we lost. On the losing bracket, we won all the games, but then..... Findlay. Meghan dubbed their starters the "Fantastic Four" featuring The Curly Haired Bitch, The Dyke and etc. The battle was close, we almost won.
Meghan was being a party pooper, destroying our paper airplanes. She elbowed Andrew in the balls. Poor him..
We ate on the way home. We stopped by an McDonald's. Vince, Ross, Kapil, Liz and I separated from the group and went to Arby's. On the way Kapil sang some humorous signalized version of songs from Guys and Dolls. We cracked up.
When we were almost finished eating, Ross went to the bathroom. Liz then said that she felt weird because she was the only non-asian and girl there. We cracked some jokes and gone back to the bus after Ross returned.
On the way back to the bus Kapil sang some more, I was drinking my Mountain Dew and I choked.
Back on the bus Kapil sang even more. Joked about communism. We made fun of some friends. Liz kept sliding off her seat, I have to warn her when ever we were about to stop. Kapil napped across the seats. Ross napped too, but there was no space, so he partially napped on Kapil. Since Kapil's feet was on Liz seat, Liz had to lay on his legs, which she said "was probably the most comfortable bus ride."
I had fun. Coming in third was a disappointment, but I don't really care, because I had fun.

Guys and Dolls
This was the best play I have seen from our Drama Club. This play, I believe, also had the biggest budget and production crew.
I got there ten minutes before the play start. I met Sherry at the Lobby. We watched from the balcony upstairs. The view was great from high above, but the seats where a bit uncomfortable. Lexie, Stephanie, and Devin were working crew in the balcony. During intermission, Sherry was wondering where Sandy was, she used my phone to call her and left her a message.
The live music was great! It is very catchy. The acting was wonderful. The story was funny and interesting. Poor Emily have to walk around without her glasses. Justin B. did a really good job at being a mobster. Justin R. did a really convincing role as an old man. I didn't recognized Kapil because his fro disappeared.
This was great, I am looking forward to future performances.

Immortality.....
Thursday night I saw a news special on ABC about living till 150. It was an fascinating report. But it got me thinking.
I don't doubt on the science they are doing. I have no objection on stem cell research. What I was thinking about is that should we live that long or longer.
In the show a few experts predict that human can live for hundreds of years. Living till one hundred don't worries me. But I have my worry on the environmental and social impact if human can live longer.
We, the human population, are over populating. Yet so many people are starving and dying. Instead of extending the life of those who already lived a lifetime, why not extend the life of those who barely experience life.
With people living longer, population increase. So how are we supposed to feed every one? Food shortage are already a problem. What about where everyone are going to live? We only have so much space to use. The environmental effect of housing and caring would be huge, not to mention how much waste everyone would produce.
They did talk about age discrimination on the show. I agree on how this would be. There would be about five to six generation living together. There would be at least three to four generation gap.
As human age, the brain deterioration or the person's mind would grow crazy with wisdom. Can a person's mind handle all the knowledge or wisdom of hundreds of years.
Should we mess with the chain evolution? or for some people god's design. I think we should continue with research but not applying them yet. Wait till humanity is ready. We shouldn't mess with natural evolution and natural selection.
"Prepare for unforeseen consequence."

Animarathon
The Animarathon was much better this year. There were a lot more vendors and artists.
The program is better this year too. My congratulation to the VP Lillie.
I didn't buy anything. Everything I saw there could be cheaper some where else. For non-DVD merchandise, I can by them in Hong Kong for an affordable price.
The arts was also good. I was GLaD to see some Weighted Companion Cube. Becca is a nice artist, working with metal and all.
Cosplay is mediocre. There are a few good ones. There was one cute girl dressed as a character from Soul Caliber. Also one guy was dressed as an BLU engineer from Team Fortress 2, but everyone thought he was Bob The Builder. I was also GLaD to see two to three Haruhi Suzumiya. But there was also the blandness of Naruto. Err~~~ How I dislike Naruto.
I met up with Sandy and Mel, then later Zack, Christoph and their friends. I had fun with them.

The Circle of Life.
I just saw The Lion King, it was great.
The music was wonderful, the acting was great, the special effects were awesome, the props were beautiful.
I went with my sister and one of her friend. We bought our tickets through BGSU so we got foods at a restaurant across the street from Stranahan Theater. There were stuffed mushroom, a cheese and ham plate, grilled food on sticks, and some other good stuff that I don't know what it was.
The show started at 8:00. It is amazing how they did the costume. Human, yet animals. I really want to know how the complex costumes work. After the intermission, my sister's friend got lock out for the first scene.
One disappointing thing is that the merchandise are so freaking expensive.
After the show, we walked out into the lobby to find our self in a snow storm. We got stuck waiting to get out of the parking lot for fifteen minutes. Then we took about another hour plus to get home. We head to stop in the middle of the road half way home to get rid of the snow on the windshield again.
Everything was awesome, beside the weather.

!!nd
We got 2nd place.
Sure, it was a bit disappointing, but still it was fun.
I forgot to set my alarm clock last night. So I woke at 8:30, we were supposed leave at 9:00. I got there at 8:50. I thought I was the last one to arrive. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I was the forth. Meg, Brand, and Andrew came before me. Vincent is next. Then Heather.
Mrs. Laabs drove right up next to the door. When she was about to enter the building, Vincent being nice, he opened the door for her. But he opened the wrong door, he opened the alarmed door, and it went off for a few second, then stop. No one did a thing, so wast is the point of the alarm? No security person came out. Nothing happened.
We were stuck out in the 'air lock' because the maintenance personal was fixing and cleaning stuff. I did get inside and got a drink of water in the cafeteria. I snapped some pictures, and one of the plan for the new Jr. High.
We called Kapil and Ross to wake them up. Kapil forgot about the game, he remembered that it is Wednesday. Ross can't come because of Exam at BGSU. Vincent, Andrew and I also have exams this week. Kapil arrived and we left around 9:15.
We ate brunch at a BoB Even's at Lima. It was quite nice. We had some weird conversations. Meg stole some condiments and napkins with her four-dimensional [censored].
We were the first to arrived at the Write State, Celina Campus. Vincent and Andrew played pool. Vincent kicked Andrew's ass. They played ping pong next, same thing happened. Meg and I played pool next. We both sucked. But I got better as I go along, Meg still sucked. I popped the cue ball out twice. She did the same, but more, in a more fantastic ways. She hit a ball into a corner pocket, but the cue some how popped up at the pocket and rowed along the railing and fell into a center pocket. Ping Pong ball form Vince and Drew's game keep hitting in our direction. Brandon and Heather wanted to play next, but we had a game.
Since we only have seven people, the J.V. team only had three people. Meg, Heath, and I are on the J.V. team. We lost our first game to Bluffton. Then we won all the other games. Kapil helped out in a game when the varsity team had a break. The last team we face is also Bluffton. Kapil also joined, but we still lost.
We ate after that, not much happened. But I did notice how much people were actually at Write State.
On our way back, we played game that name countries. We played it the entire way. Heather and I both ran out of countries along time before Vince and Andrew. But before we played the game, we discussed what state has what significant. We arrived back in BG around 7:35.
It was fun. Can't wait for more road trip with friends. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't reach my picture quota of 150 pictures.
Sure, it was a bit disappointing, but still it was fun.
I forgot to set my alarm clock last night. So I woke at 8:30, we were supposed leave at 9:00. I got there at 8:50. I thought I was the last one to arrive. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I was the forth. Meg, Brand, and Andrew came before me. Vincent is next. Then Heather.
Mrs. Laabs drove right up next to the door. When she was about to enter the building, Vincent being nice, he opened the door for her. But he opened the wrong door, he opened the alarmed door, and it went off for a few second, then stop. No one did a thing, so wast is the point of the alarm? No security person came out. Nothing happened.
We were stuck out in the 'air lock' because the maintenance personal was fixing and cleaning stuff. I did get inside and got a drink of water in the cafeteria. I snapped some pictures, and one of the plan for the new Jr. High.
We called Kapil and Ross to wake them up. Kapil forgot about the game, he remembered that it is Wednesday. Ross can't come because of Exam at BGSU. Vincent, Andrew and I also have exams this week. Kapil arrived and we left around 9:15.
We ate brunch at a BoB Even's at Lima. It was quite nice. We had some weird conversations. Meg stole some condiments and napkins with her four-dimensional [censored].
We were the first to arrived at the Write State, Celina Campus. Vincent and Andrew played pool. Vincent kicked Andrew's ass. They played ping pong next, same thing happened. Meg and I played pool next. We both sucked. But I got better as I go along, Meg still sucked. I popped the cue ball out twice. She did the same, but more, in a more fantastic ways. She hit a ball into a corner pocket, but the cue some how popped up at the pocket and rowed along the railing and fell into a center pocket. Ping Pong ball form Vince and Drew's game keep hitting in our direction. Brandon and Heather wanted to play next, but we had a game.
Since we only have seven people, the J.V. team only had three people. Meg, Heath, and I are on the J.V. team. We lost our first game to Bluffton. Then we won all the other games. Kapil helped out in a game when the varsity team had a break. The last team we face is also Bluffton. Kapil also joined, but we still lost.

Rampancy
Yesterday, I was on the road. I've never liked the process of traveling.
Why? I may ask.
Because in the car, I am a lone with my mind for a long time. I also don't like to sit in a seat for hours without a TV or computer in front of me.
I think too much about things. I am going rampant. But if I am saying I am going rampant, than doesn't this prove that I am not rampant.
Why the hell am I using rampant to discribe a human? Thinking too much is a sign of rampancy, but rampancy is not real. I am just crazy, not rampant.
Thinking too much makes me sad. Maybe Lisa Simpson is right, the smarter you are the sadder you are. But I am not that smart, but I still over think and thus make me sad.
Maybe I am just over thinking about my over thinking. I should just let it be.

I needed spring break, not a break from spring.
I am in Crystal Lake, IL.
Today begin out quite good. It snowed the night before.
We had lunch at a very good authentic Spanish restaurant. We ordered dishes. Each dish are small and we all shared them. Eating them are with bread are good. The deserts are really good. One is a banana cream pie, the other is chocolate sponge cake. They are heavenly.
But while eating, it snowed even more.
We were going to go to Boarders and Best Buy, but the road just got so terrible.
My aunt said that the city ran out of salt a long time ago.
But tomorrow will be better. Going to Ikea and/or Mistuwa.

And the winner is......
...... me?
I don't know. I won't know till friday when I bring my Wii and Super Smash Brother Brawl to Shane. I hope I can go, I still have to finish my clay project after school.
The new game is good. The game play is good. The graphics are good. But I am still a little slow. I was never good at these kind of fighting games. But I am sure I'll improve. But before then, my ass still get beat.
I haven't tried many feature, beside the Sub Space Emissary and the Map maker. The Sub Space Emissary is the story camping, but since it is a fighting game so the story isn't very good.
I read that the online play is so slow because every one is trying to get on it. So I am not going to try yet.
It is going to troublesome to bring the Wii over and back. But it is going to be fun!

Like a rich fat kid in a candy store.
That was how I felt like monday.
My tea pot project has a cyberpunk design. I needed an old computer for parts to decorate it.
I asked around, and Sandy have some old computer in a barn. She delivered it to the school monday.
She said the old Mac Power computer still works. So I wanted to turn it on to see how the OS work. But there was no power cord. So I started to take it apart. I was so happy to see the inside of an old computer. It used to belong to BGSU around 1994 or later.
But I felt sort of bad. Because I sort of euthanized the computer. I tore it apart piece by piece. I got to the hard drive and I resisted a little, because it is like the soul of the computer. I continued my disassembling of the hard drive, but this was a challenge. The screw on the hard drive was so hard to unscrew. I unscrew three out of six. Leonard help me with the other two. But the last one was stuck.
I took every thing apart. Next I will have to take apart the keyboard and the mouse. Sandy also gave me a monitor, but I doubt I'll have any use of that. How will I dispose of it?

Mobile Suit Gundam 00
I started watching this last week. I got a data DVD from a friend from the BGSU Anime Club.
It is the first Gundam series to be shown on HD. And it looks amazing! It is not out in the state yet. I am watching the fan sub. One thing annoying about it is that the hole entire series, at least on that DVD any way, is that the fan subbing are done by at least three differnt groups. Some translation is a bit differnt.
But the story of the series is great. It is not colonies rebelling against earth. The story is original! The setting is the 24th century AD. It is about how a private military organization is trying to stop all wars on earth with force and high tech weaponry, aka Gundams.
Check it out! It is awesome!

My birthday
It was pleasant.
The two hours delay was ok, I got two more hours of sleep. That was a nice present.
I am happy that people wished me a happy birthday. Thanks to the internet, people know. I am GLaD, it made my day. Oh, I just remember, because of the delay, I missed Mrs. Laabs' birthday song. But I still got a birthday song, and an attempt to sing Chinese happy birthday song.
I got some red pocket from families. A cake was baked for me from my sister. The inside tasted good, the outside was meh.
I don't know how I am feeling. I feel happy and GLad, but at the same time I feel melancholy and depressed. Wait does melancholy and depressed mean the same thing?
Anyway, I am happy that I'll be an adult soon. I'll be free, going to college, no more oppression of the education system.
But I am having some sort of 17/100 life crisis, or a 17% life crisis. My childhood is coming to a close. My careless days will soon be over. I would have to take care of my self. When I go to college, my friends will be leaving. I have so much to do, with so little time.
Am I just afraid of being an adult, or just don't want to give up my childhood?
Am I afraid of my indecisiveness of the future?
But no mater how I feel, I should look forward for the future. I am over thinking about this.
Hey! Super Smash Brother comes out next week! My birthday present will be so much fun!
Why the hell am I spelling GLaD like this? Why am I asking this on my blog? It like I am talking to my self, but only spelling it out. Woh... What the hell is wrong with me? I should shut up.

Dream Dream Dream!
I've been having weird dream lately.
Saturday night, I had a dream about this girl from my American Government class last semester that I barely know. It is about how she is an illegal French immigrant.
Last night, I had two dreams.
The first one is about how the US army/air force is having soldiers is having a high orbital insertion into Australia.
The last one is about how a Star Fleet ship is entering the Andromeda Galaxy and was being attacked by an unknown allien space ship. Then the captain call for preparation to abandon ship.
My mind is so weird.

The Beautiful and the Ugly
The future?
We will have to turn in our registration from tomorrow.
Damn. Time past by so fucking fast.
Next year, I'll be taking:
Calculus
AP Chemistry (might change)
Physic
Creative Writing
Sr Seminar: Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Pop Culture
I am still deciding what to take for PSEOP
My birthday is also tomorrow. I feel weird about my birthday. It is the last birthday of my childhood. I have one more year to enjoy the carelessness of being a kid. But I have one more year left untill I gain freedom of adulthood.
Oh well. "The more birthday you have, the longer you'll live."

Data Burst Complete
Yesterday night and this morning, I uploaded many Megabyte of digital photography on to MySpace and FaceBook.
I have check my hard drive, I have 18.9 Gigabyte pictures on it.

Coming Home...
...Was great!
Most of it was great. Megan and friends is disturbing.. (>.<) I need a shrink because of them...
Music was alright, but there were a few unexpected ones. Like 'one more time', 'barbie girl', and some NSYNC song.
Sandy and Melanie, maybe me too, did pull a prank on Megan. Meg forgot her wallet on a table, they took every thing out of it. I return the wallet to Meg. Meg yelled out "SOME ONE CLEANED ME OUT!!!" It was very funny. Then Mel suggested to Meg to report it. We ran after her to stop, because we pulled the prank.

Home Sick Syndrome
The new year reminds me of how much I miss Hong Kong.
I haven't experienced real new year festivity for, I think, eight years.
I have a dream a few days back. It was about Hong Kong.
I miss that place...

New Year Blues
Ok, it isn't exactly the new year. But a few days after it.
New Year was actually great. Well not really great, I'll talk about why on my next post.
The New Year celebration at BGSU hosted by the CSSA gets worst by the year.
There used to be crappy Chinese-ish food cooked by the BGSU food services. Now they just have crappy sorry excuse for pizza. What the hell is that!! It is a Chinese celebration and all they are giving us are shitty pizza?!
The performance is also a bit disappointing. They are all good, but only a few are actually related to the new year. Other are just Chinese pop song, and western classical music. I want to listen to some old fashion Erhu or Liuqin. I can listen to violin and piano any time I want.
I want the good old fashion celebration that I grew up with. Candies, Red Pocket, the new year markets, the decorations.

The GodDamn cold
The weather is so goddamn cold.
My house is so goddamn cold.
What the hell is wrong with the weather?
Climate change, that's why.
I can't wait till summer...
But then, I'll be complaining about the heat.
Circle of seasons, no weather is actually good for anyone, especially here in BG....
At least we are not flooding..

Lake BGHS and the fog
Snow melted, fog arose, lake emerged.
The school drive way flooded,
and spilled over onto the grass.
Oh, how I want some rubber duckies,
to throw it into the pond.
Cars derived by the lake,
waves arose to the shore.
Almost got my pant leg wet,
but I jumped to escape those muddy water.
.
.
The elementary got delayed and we did not.
Oh, how unfair is that?
The fog blinded my sight,
can't even see the next street.
With the fog in my vision,
It reminded me of the movie Mist,
Where bugs from other dimension,
that rip out your eyes.
"Even though you broke my heart.....
.....And killed me. And tore me to pieces. And threw every piece into a fire."
A broken heart could feel like that I guess. I wouldn't know. I don't want to know, but it is an unavoidable part of life. I will know, unfortunately.
We human are weird. We are one of a few animals on earth that have emotional attachment with our mate. It is good a guess. We are advance enough to some what disregard physical attraction or lust. This make us superior to other animals, even those of our closest relatives don't have these logical feature.
We youngsters are naive and inexperience. Are we, only had live less than two decade, ready for relationship and love? The youngsters of the past got married and started family at our age. But then again people don't live that long back then.
Time didn't just changed how long we live, but how we live as well. Our culture changed. Society changed.
We, youngsters are emotionally unstable. Hormone bouncing everywhere, causing unstable emotion and thinking. We are too impulsive and jumps into a relationship with someone. That person might or might not be the best for them. When/if it end, the heart is broken. And throw into a depression.
Personally, I wouldn't call it 'heart broken.' Heart broken is heart disease. I would call it emotionally broken. It happens in the brain, not heart. It effect everything that the brain control. It is a broken brain.
Is high school relationship worth it? The couple is most likely going to break up. From what I learn in biology last year, a high school relationship could last at the shortest average at two weeks, from getting attracted to a heartbroken breakup. But high school could also be the place to find the love of one's life.
For some, the risks outweigh the benefits. For other, the benefits outweigh the risks.
I am still deciding what outweigh what for me... I also have to consider what outweigh what for the person... High school is so short, once it end, our life have to part and move on the colleges and jobs. The separation might also hurt like a 'broken heart'.
A friend of mine said that "There are only two kinds of relationships in high school. One is friends with benefits, the other are force into a relationship."
I don't believe that. There could be something meaningful. The couple just have to work hard on the relationship.
Love, like the human brain and our emotion, is a mysterious thing. Scientist only found out a very little part about how love works. I doubt they'll figure it out entirely.

The tale of a protractor
There is this on going feud between two people.
One of the person is a loser person, the other is a bitchy person.
The bitch had this broken protractor and didn't want it, but didn't want to throw it away. So she gave the protractor to the loser.
The loser didn't want to throw it away for her, so he gave it back to the bitchy person. The bitchy person then stealthily put the protractor into the loser's backpack.
On next day, the bitch threw the protractor at the loser. The loser then stealthily put the protractor into the bitchy person's hoodie.
A few days later, the loser found the protractor in his backpack again. He went to the bitchy person's locker and tape the protractor on it and making it look like a smile face. Later that day, the bitchy person, once again, sneak the protractor into the loser's backpack. The loser found it very soon. He chase after the bitchy person and threw it at her and dash off.
A few weeks later, a friend of the loser gave him the protractor. She was ordered by the bitchy person two weeks ago, but she had forgotten. Later that day, he tape the protractor onto the bitch's locker. Once again, he made a face, but this time the face he put onto the locker is an angry face.

A few weeks later, a friend of the loser gave him the protractor. She was ordered by the bitchy person two weeks ago, but she had forgotten. Later that day, he tape the protractor onto the bitch's locker. Once again, he made a face, but this time the face he put onto the locker is an angry face.
The feud had not ended yet. No one knows when will it end.

SWAMPED
Swamped was great!! The one hour collection of skits that is about the history of Bowling Green. My favorite skit is The Clock Tower Birds. It talked about how pigeons made the clock hands move making it another time. My second favorite is Bowling Green's Fight for the County Seat. Bowling Green vs. Parrisburg fought for the county seat base on population. Bowling Green got helped from neighboring towns and won.
I love these kinds of collection of skits. They have very low amount of props. Simple and the focus is on the story, not anything else.

GOD DAMN CRASH!!!!!!
Sim City 4 is great, but for some reason it keep crashing!!!! I used to be not this bad, but it keeps getting worst. I cried three drops of tears as my works get deleted.
DAMN VISTA!!!!!
DAMN VISTA!!!!!
Sim City 4
I now have an addiction of Sim City 4. There is some sort of satisfaction when creating something, even if it is not real.
I downloaded mods and new building off the internet. Each download making my cities more and more magnificent.
I admit I have to cheat some time, but the city looks great. On those that I didn't cheat on, it is that much more satisfying. The hardest part of all cities are balancing the budget. Making sure that the city makes more money then it spending.
Sims game, although sometime could be a bit frustrating, but it is much more fun and satisfying than other type of games.

The Generation Gap
I am currently watching FRONTLINE: Growing Up Online on PBS. This episode is about kids and the internet and parent. It is very un-bias compared to other news source. There are both kids and parent talking about the good and bad situation of the internet.
They say the internet created the biggest generation gap. I have to agree with that. They show some nice statistic.
Any way, check that out if you can. Frontline is great. But now I am writing about the generation gap, and why it is good and bad.
Parent, like most human, are afraid of unfamiliar things. Like most human we all want privacy, but yet like most human we also want to invade people's privacy.
I know they want to keep an eye on us so that they can make sure we are safe, but over protection will just drag us down. We need a big generation gap to insulate our self from the last generation's grasp that are trying to stop us from advancing our self. We are constantly evolving, but they don't want us to. They are too insecure to let us go. They are too afraid of what new and thus they them self are stuck in time.
They make decision base on their experience, that is good. But most of the time they make decision without thinking of the result that will be put on us. We are then corrupted by the last generation. A generation gap is needed to prevent the corruption of primitive thinking of the last generation to ruin the innocent thinking of this generation. But at the same time a generation gap would prevent the passing of wisdom of the last generation to be pass on that will aid the evolution of this generation.
Wisdom: science, history, love, peace, non-violent resistant, diplomatic achievements, etc. etc.
Corruption: war, arrogance, anger, hate, lustful thinking, greed, etc.
We need the wisdom of the pass to understand how to work towards our future. But we can't let the corruption of the past to slow down our progress. How will a balance in the generation gap do this? How can it let wisdom pass, but stop corruption? Question, Question, Question. These question will also be ask by the next generation. These question will be asked by the next generation because we have already been corrupted.
Now a days, with upto five generation living together, it is hard to insulate youngest two generations from the rest. This problem will stay in a paradox for a while...

Splinter Cell trouble
I love Splinter Cell. I love how you can sneak up behind enemy and stab their back. I love the story of government bureaucracy and military intelligence.
I recently got Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent. I first got some problem. It was easily resolved. Two patches fixed everything. The single player is good. There are some minor graphical glitches, like pixelated shadow, or the safe that can't be cracked unless you increase your walking speed. I still haven't finish the single player yet. I am looking forward to the cliffhanger ending.
One day I try playing Multiplayer. It crash. Right after I click on multiplayer and crash. The unreal logo load up, then crash. A window popup and it say there is a problem and program the to be shutdown.
I look on the forum and many people have this problem. More people have single player problem. I guess I am a lucky one to play single player without much trouble. I do have crash in single player once in a while, but that really not a issue.
I am mildly pissed and disappointed. I expected more from Ubisoft.

Question about grief?
This human emotion is weird. We all have them, but we all show it differently. We all show it towards differnt stuff and for differnt reason.
Human grow attachment to each other, that's why we grief when one of us pass. But at the same time, we are capable of killing each other and not feel a thing. We are just all alike, shouldn't we all care for each other? But if we are like this, then why do we need guns?
When one thing dies, even if it is not human, the person close to it will feel grief. Because of emotional attachment for what ever reason. But if we can have these kind of feeling for non-human, then why cant' we have the same feeling for others?
We also grow attachment for non-living thing. As a little kid, we might have attachment for a toy. We are sadden when that toy is lost or get broken. As we get old, we have emotional attachment for other stuff. Video game system, car, computer, house, and a country. We have the same emotion toward any other thing that we are close to, just like people.
But why? They are just inanimate object, do they really need us to feel for them?
No one can answer that, our brain chemistry is too complex.
But as technology advance, computer get more and more sophisticated, and computer AI or robots will be very common. We would grow attachment to them like how we are attach to other human. What would happen then? If our computer crash, would we have a funeral for it? But will we treat them the same way? Will we treat robots like a human friend or a manufactured slave? Will we grow emotional attachment toward them?
There was one study that I've read in a magazine while I was shopping in mijer. It was about an experiment where a group of scientist putting a robot baby into a group of real babies. They used babies as test subject because the are not taught by society to treat anything differently. The robot acts like a real baby, but don't really look like a real baby. After a while the real babies grew attachment toward the robot baby. They shared toys and played together. The real babies treat the robot baby like his peers. But after the while, the robot baby is programed just to dance. The real babies soon lost interest.
The babies in that experiment was too young to have the grief emotion. But what if this experiment was done on a group of older people? Will they feel grief if the robot suddenly lost it humanity like programing?
Human are too complicated for anyone to have a definite answer to answer these kind of question.
Hell, why am I even asking these kind of questions? I know no one can answer them.
Why do I over analyse these thing? Why am I so interested in the thought process of our self?

I can't find the art in me.
Lately I can't feel the art in me. I don't know why, but I don't feel creative. I sort of lost my mojo. I feel like I am lazier than usual. I don't know why. Maybe I don't have much inspiration or just got bored, but I hope it is not bored.
I just can't get myself working. I have to finished this drawing for the quizbowl team, but I don't have the will power to do so. I haven't draw anything for a week. What the hell is wrong with me? I can't open my book draft and continue writing it. I have idea for the story but I just can't some how.

Why are there so many kids on medication?
So many brains are being screw up by medication.
Most kids are taking meds for AD(H)D. And more and more are taking meds for bipolar.
Experts say that the symptoms of these illness include hyperactive and tantrum. Most of the time, kids are put on mind-altering drugs just by these two symptoms alone. Most of the time the people who tell the parent to get their kids check out are teachers. Most doctors who prescribe the meds are not psychiatric experts, they are just normal pediatrician.
Well, here is my non-professional opinion: What kid are not hyperactive, what kid don't have tantrum? Kids should be hyperactive. Kids have tantrum. The teachers who urge parents to put their kids on medication are just lazy and incompetent. The parent who didn't have recommendation and just request doctors to put their kids on meds are fucking horrible piece of shit who are just to god damn fucking lazy and patient to raise children.
The human mind should be just left alone if it doesn't have major illness/disorder. What I mean major are cancer, mental retardation, and head trauma. What I consider non-major illness/disorder and the brain should be left alone are ADD, ADHD, and autism. Some autistic people are genius, savant.
We should let our mind be.
The human brain is not broken, we should not fix what is not broken.
The human mind should be free, no one else or thing should control how our neuron move.
The human mind is primitive, yet a wonderful and beautiful thing, we should not try to improve what is already near perfect.
The human mind is sacred. Holier than any thing else.

Memory, memory
My new computer is working quite well.......... if it doesn't crash. The graphics and RAM is working really well. But since my operation system is Vista, some time my games crash. This is very annoying. But every thing else work really fast and look awesome.
One thing that is already a big problem is that I only have a 80 GB hard drive. I only have about 3GB left.
I have to move Splinter Cell to my external hard drive, which only have about 50 GB free space out of 250GB. The game is 11.4 GB. Every thing on Steam that I have is about 19.1 GB.
I wish I had told my dad to order a bigger hard drive.
Today I bought Sims 2: Night Life and Open for Business on sale. But I don't know if I should keep it. My interst in the Sims franchies shrunk a little. Also I don't know if I should keep my attension on games too much. I think I should keep my focus on writing my books....

My week
My first week back was great...... well.
School: Classes are good.
My Chinese class has a new teacher. She is ok, I guess. I am not used to her teaching style, but I am sure I'll get used to it. The classroom is much bigger, but we only have about 20 students. Bad: our classroom smell like paint. Good: the area outside of the classroom where we wait for the previous class to end is big and have chairs and sofa. The building don't have air condition, so spring won't be pleasant.
Econ class is ok. The class time is late and long, but I get friday off, so that's good. The class is huge, I mean every seat is fill. The instructor is good, she is funny and cute. But she don't give out bonus points and we will have homework.
At the high school, it pretty much the same. I officially don't have first period, but I still have to come in to work on my metals project which was dude a few month ago.
Lunch is quiet. Half of the people I sit with are gone in C lunch. I miss every one.
Now I have all the lunches are on thursday instead of friday. I sit with differnt people...
non-school:
My mom complained to me that my texting from last month cost $5. I don't usually text, but our plan suck. T-mobile sucks ass.
The city put a no parking sign in front of our house, now we have to park across the street...
I guess this week is one of my best that wasn't durning break.

Best place to be other then Japan.....
....is Hong Kong for people who love anime.
Many Otaku, anime, and manga blogs that I've read say that Hong Kong is the best place for anime lover beside Japan.
Since I come from that awesome city, I am proud of that. I grew up there and I can agree, but am amazed but not very surprised at what those Otaku said. We were the first to import anime from Japan. Mong Kok (旺角) is sort of like the Hong Kong equivalent to Akihabara (秋葉原 ["Field of Autumn Leaves"]) in Japan.
Just like Japan, there are shopping center that are dedicated to anime merchandise. Anime are very common on TV. Most people prefer anime than American animation. Gundam is extremely popular. Cosplay and Lolita is getting common. Maid cafe are also becoming popular. There are even Dōjinshi fest and many Dōjinshi circles.
I really miss that place. Half more year to go befor summer so I can visit Hong Kong again!

Happy New Year!
It have been a long time. I almost for got I have this blog thingy.
Christmas is wonderful. The best one in my life so far.
I've been writing my book, slowly but surely. I should also be working on a picture for the quiz bowl team. But I spent too much time playing Half Life 2 and Splinter Cell Double Agent.
Next semester will be much better. I don't have a first period. My afternoon college class is only on monday and wednesday. But my metal project is still not finished.
I don't want the break to end!
