donuts
are you hungry?



does this help?


i had ONE of their donuts when i was in taiwan. shoot i miss it. =)!
if they had a store here in the US, it'd destroy that outrageously sweet krispy kremes.
AND.

i'd live in that store.

小栗旬
i'd fly to japan just to meet him.

so.
who's this hottie?

his name's Oguri Shun (shoon) for those of you who don't know already. he plays the taciturn but awesome hanazawa rui in Hana Yori Dango, of which season 2 had recently came out. as well as 工藤 新一 Kudo Shin'ichi in the case closed live drama. ♥ so kawaiii.

i like his style.
yummy.






好帥ㄡ.

how could you?
where's mine?

after two months...
i was supposed to have it all to myself.
not have it taken away...

a constant urge to throw something. everything out the window.
can't sit still for more than 5 min.
can't find a single song that i could listen to. constantly clicking next.
constantly bored. constantly restless.
never satisfied.
everything makes me mad.
everything drives me crazy.
sorry i've been pretty taciturn for 2 days now.
what's wrong with me you say?

suppressed anger.
how could you deprive me of the only thing that makes me happy?

what does it all mean?
what's in a life?
that which we call this life by any other name would sound as hectic & overwhelming.
what's it's meaning? that's what we're all here to find out isn't it?

though they say that being a student is just a prologue to a lifelong of opportunities.
all i see right now is just an endless road of success & failures.

so what if we accomplished our goal of acing this test? there're millions more.
so what if we worked throughout the night, compromising our health & spirit just so we could keep up with the neverending demands of school.
so what if we grew up, got married, and got rich?
so what if we lived up to that american dream?

wasnt there a time when people used to trust you to be able to make everything right?
there was definitely a time when, what you say must be what it is.
there used to be a time when...i actually know what i'm doing. what has it got to this endless, pointless wandering?

what is it all about?

so we'd fulfill our dreams only to come across another. in this endless chain of goals and competition. when is this all going to cease?
when we reach that dream university?
oh yes. harvard, yale, princeton, stanford. those sound like where we're all aiming at.
but say we got in. then what?
there're more challenges to face. more all nighters to pull. more demands we have to fulfill.

must look at a bigger picture, then.
zoom out 30 years: at the age of 46. would i be the ophthalmologist that i've always wanted to become? or just some janitor sweeping the school at night?

i suppose i need to be less of a cynic.
and start believing that it all comes down to the work effort we put into everything we do.
good luck on finals guys!


i need a vacation.
that's what it means.



bummy the poet.

cinno!
can i tickle your toe while you watch friends or foe?
let's grab some burger at trader joe's and off we go! let's canoe at the amazon river but i don't know how to row.
you can though!
you can use your violin bow!
why are you so awesome?
but too bad you're not handsome.
you're so pretty!
do you wanna meet p diddy?
my mamagoose is the best... so screw the rest!
she's good at acing her tests and she sings to birds in their nests
i can't live without her, life would be a blurr. no durr.
guess what i'm going to stick at her? FUR.
cinnowen! count to ten! and then! give birth to a hen!


juno/at3/bummy/little goose...

you're too cute haha!

it'll be soon over
despite "trying" to study for finals in this wonderful three day weekend.

i can't help but anticipate

dismal disneyland &&

winterformal.

is it really worth it?

"I.B.- AKA International Baccalaureate- A malicious program aimed at the unnaturally brighter population in an attempt to overload their brains, thus reducing them to vegetables without lives. However, a true IB student will respond by adapting and BSing their way through!"

yeah that's so true.
im not sure about unnaturally brighter.
but i know im losing brain cells by the millions now that im in it.

is 11hours and 15min of sleep a week enough?

ps. tell me what animal this is.

comment it. and i'll assure you you'd be wrong.
check id on next post =)

Taiwan =)
so Taiwan for the holidays? Somewhat.
not an entirely pleasant trip, but i found it enjoyable.

i dont know why. but though i've lived in this country for almost a decade.
everything seemed so new ♥

It began with the 13 hour plane ride. The food was flat out sordid.
Just the smell of the chicken noodle (or was it?) and omelets made me plane sick. Instant noodles in the middle of the night (6pm…) was the only thing keeping me sane. it was also the most turbulent plane ride I’ve ever been in. but I had fun bouncing while doing those fantabulous bio packets.


So overall, it was bearable. On the bright side, there were exterior cameras on the plane that allowed us phenomenal views during landing & Taipei Airport is so much more sophisticated than LAX. if you look carefully, you'd see two persons from our school. far left.
same plane ride to taiwan. wayyy too cool.


so here's my trip.

so first off.
why arent there smart cars in the states? 卡哇一!
they're soo cute =) this one's dented, but if you've seen the way people in taiwan drive.
you wouldnt be surprised.


street scene =) looks better in real life.


蛋餅! (沒大驚小怪... 但是是踏入台北吃到的第一口美食?)


the best baked goods in the world.
omg. (thats annie btw)


so immediately, we noticed a temperature difference.
apparently, annie and i get curious stares from bypassers when we eat ice cream cones while they wear eskimo jackets.
oh pulease. we were running around in shorts while my dad has 4 layers on.


little clause! here's daddy and i =)


what did i tell you? mcD's made from rice & shrimp.
cant they get more creative here?


family =)!


my second oldest cousin's & her family.
see my nephew 漢文 there =) he's the cutest little guy you'd ever meet. seriously.♥


my other cousin & his family.
i swear, they make the best parents ever.
and their kids are soo pretty =)




so i dont have that big of a family. these are most of them.


childhood favorite =) 叉燒撈麵♥


annie & i.


ha.. 埃及?


street?

hola.

okay. and then annie and i became kind of bored...
so we started making fun of their english.
just for fun tho =)
