so history is really being a butt to me right now.

i had a test today and while taking the test, the fire drill goes out. so our class has to go out to the baseball field.
apparently our track caught on fire. so why are we outside when the fire is outside?

anyways, 15 minutes later, when the bell rings for brunch (10 minute break), we go back to class and if we didn't finish the test yet, we do it during brunch. this sucks. because i didn't finish yet and i didn't fill in some answers yet. i intended to finish the test, and go over all the questions. but because of this fire drill that just HAD to ring at that time, i couldn't go along with the plan i had in the first place. wow. now doesn't this suck.

this week is just a bad week for history for me :/

my participation grade was only 75% too, but i thought i did better. so now i have an 89.8% for history. WOW. it only needs 0.20% to go to an A-. and i need it too, because chem is not looking so good for me.

so..i thought this was pretty funny..i think they got it off an mlia website but i don't know b/c i just grabbed it from someone's facebook while facebook stalkingg. xD

so enjoy!~


Today, my friend tried to trick me by saying "Did you know gullible isn't in the dictionary?" Obviously, I know this trick, and wanted to get him back. So, I go get a dictionary, flip to the page a...nd shout "OMG you're right!" He proceeded grab the dictionary away from me to take a look for himself. Who's gullible now? MLIA.

yess, life always has its ups and downs.

in the first 2 weeks of school, i did an extra credit assignment for apush (AP US history). i memorized the presidents of the US and wrote it down. but my teacher lost my paper. so i retook the extra credit today. and i think i got it wrongg.

my teacher also lost my friend's paper, but i guess she got it right since her score showed online while mine still didn't have a score.

THIS SUCKSSS.
I'M SO MAAAAAAD. gaaaaaaahhhh

i wish he just forgot to input my score..but if he already put in my friend's score, then that means he would've put in my score too. DD:

i'm so frustrated. gaaah. i can't even let it out here. that's how mad i am. not at my teacher- more at myself.



EDIT 9/29/09 @ 4:10 PM


so today my friend told me that she asked our teacher if he put the score online yet. and he said that an hour after we took the extra credit test, he FOUND the ones we first took from a while ago. oh wow. but he still didn't put my score up..so i'm thinking of just asking him about it tomorrow. i really hope that i at least got 100% for one of them...

okay.
so saturday i went to the game.
and we lost against chicago.

honestly, this was really boring =.=
first of all, it was SO HOT. ><
and second of all, i didn't notice when someone hit a ball far away until everyone stood up to watch where it would go.
and third, i sat near drunk people D:
(luckily nothing was too awkward though..referring to my previous post)

so i'm dying in the heat for 3 hours, and we're losing.

and then after the game, i go to chinatown via muni w/ dad b/c that night we're gonna eat dinner w/ fam for grandma's bday. so first thing we do in chinatown-quicklys. :D it rehydrated me xD

anyways so we go to the dinner, blah blah, i see my cousins, take pictures, blah blah, go home at 10:30ish.

next day-church!
2 of my friends from camp came to visit me :]]
but i had to go to meeting for discipleship that got moved up to sunday school hour.
and instead of going to starbucks like we always do, we instead sit outside.
and it's BURNING.
okay and my eyes are feeling a little blurry- like i can't see things straight.

so then after discipleship we go back to church for 2nd service. and inside church, i'm feeling REALLY HOT. i keep fanning myself but i don't feel any cooler. and even worse, i feel like i have a headache and my eyes are hurting. and i feel like throwing up. =O so halfway through service i run out b/c i really can't handle it anymore. and i just get water and put it all over me to cool down. i drink water too. after service, dad picks us up early but since he's driving the small car that doesn't have any AC, i feel nauseous and suddenly have the urge to throw up. so i grab the closest bag next to me and i cough out the water i drank at church earlier. good thing i didn't eat anything other than breakfast b/c i didn't throw up any food :]]
but i go home and rest a bit after changing into my pajamas.
except oppa calls me ^^
like seriously we've got an oppa-dongsaeng relationship and we're obsessed w/ kpop and korean dramas xD and we're not even koreaan. lolllll

anyways he calls me, tells me about his day; he intended to call me earlier b/c i always tell him about how my dad picks me up late from church and me & jin yak eun (nae dongsaeng) are waiting for so longgg. anywayss i appreciate oppa so much. he really helped me feel better by rambling on and by telling me to dream about 2PM xD talking about 2PM, i miss jay so much. right now it's 1:59 PM. ://

so now i feel better :]]
i just know..
i'd rather freeze than burn to death (:
the end !

yeaah random post, sorry xD

it hasn't been long since we've known each other-less than a year.
things started out rocky.
but then later we got super close.
and then suddenly not as close.

idk what to think of this..
now we don't even talk anymore.
you tell me it's my fault for not talking to you..
welll..
could you stop being a spam?

i just hope.
everything goes well tomorrow at the game.
no awkward turtless.
just a comfortable time...

if only.
things stayed the same.
but life is never that smooth
there are always highs and lows.

today was meet me at the pole!

it's a nationwide event where all the schools in the nation meet at their school's flag pole and they pray for the nation and for the schools around the world.
it's only once a year;;
i didn't go as a freshman and sophomore, b/c we have to get there at 7. and i thought that was waaay too early and a waste of my late start xD

but idk, this year, i decided to go :D
i woke up at normal time and i brushed my teeth/changed.
then i left for school
however, i got there at like 7:15
and when i got there, everyone was already there, singing and stuff
so i was like oh shooot, i'm LATEEE.
i didn't know they would be so punctual xD
what can i say? i'm asian.
asians are late. LOLLL

anyways, we sang songs w/ 3 people playing their guitars- the president of christian club (senior girl), and 2 guys (i think they're both underclassmen) :]]

after singing, we held hands around the flag pole and prayed for the school and the nation and that we'd be a light for God. it was freestyle praying, so you would just pray if you wanted to or if the spirit prompted you to :] but..i didn't pray x__x

after the group praying, we divided into 6 smaller groups to pray about our personal prayer requests.

then we had some food- bagels w/ cream cheese. i also had some orange juice (which explains why i had to go pee so badly later on in the day xD).

and then it was 8:15 and i had to leave even though school starts at 8:47 for us on late start days (every wednesday). i had to go do an ap chem lab at 8:15.

but i definitely do NOT regret going there today;; i was not tired at all for the rest of the day; i felt a great surge of energy through me.

of course, now it's like 9 pm and i'm tired xD

anywayss, i'm gonna do this next year!
and bring my sister w/ me since she's gonna be a freshman! hahah (:

remember that kissing song that everyone would sing in elementary school?
wellll..it's BACK!
so okaay, i stole it from someone's profile, but only b/c i thought it was pretty creative.

so, without further ado, here it is! :]]

Jayme and Husky sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, Then come marriage, then comes an abrupt tragic miscarriage. Then comes blame then comes despair. Two hearts damaged beyond repair... Husky leaves Jayme, and takes the tree. D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

so my big bang cds (remember & taeyang's mini album HOT) just came last monday. i know both these cds came out like last year, but i need to start making a collection of cds (:

anyways, so i was watching taeyang's prayer MV w/ eng subtitles and i never saw it before (only saw the "only look at me" mv), so it was actually really good.

so teddy is featured in this MV. he's the guy that raps near the end part. the 2nd half of his rap was pretty creative. so imma post it here!

You're the sky, I'm the ground. I'm the sun, you're the moon. You and I, we shall fly. You are Bonnie, I am Clyde

so funny how he said "i'm the sun" b/c taeyang means sun. xD and the bonnie/clyde thing was hilarious too xD

ohh, btw, did you know that taeyang's "prayer" was a remake from jackie cheung (not CHAN)'s "cry"??
and jackie cheung is a CANTO SINGER! WOOTTT ^^
i heard "cry"; beginning sounds the same as prayer, but after that, it doesn't sound so similar anymore XD


EDIT: i added the romanization & also the korean lyrics that correspond to teddy's rap that i translated above:


romanization:
neoneun SKY, naneun ttang
naneun taeyang, neoneun dal
YOU AND I WE SO FLY
geudaen BONNIE, naneun CLYDE


korean lyrics:
너는 Sky, 나는 땅
나는 태양, 너는 달
You and I we so fly
그댄 Bonnie, 나는 Clyde

yup! time to share some of my favorite bao with you guys! i love going to chinatown to buy bao! normally it's 25 cents each but i bet the price has increased with the way our economy is going.

nevertheless, i'm gonna start!~ food is such an addiction today. i don't even know why.

first let's start off with lai wong bao. this is white bao with yellow custard in it. is normally has a red dot on the top of the bun so you know what kind it is. sorry the pic is only the outside, i can't find an appealing picture with the inside of the lai wong bao. all you need to know is that the inside is yellow (:


i also like boh loh bao! it translates into pineapple bun but it really isn't made of pineapple..anywayss the pic is below. oh yeah and inside is plain. but that doesn't matter since the outside has so much taste. sometimes boh loh bao and li wong bao are combined. so it's boh loh on outside w/ the custard inside. and you wanna know something weird? bethany has NO IDEA what boh loh bao is. that is truly white washed..well she IS like 4th generation or something so i guess i don't blame her..


another really sweet and fatty (BUT GOOD) bao that i enjoy eating is gai mae bao. outside is like some sesame stuff but inside is custard too. but different color from li wong bao.

yeaah so all these recent posts are about food..and i don't feel like doing english hw on nature right now so imma look at more food! and drool while talking about them! hahahhh get ready!

this time i'm gonna talk about yum cha, or dim sum as many call it. it's SO GOOD. yes good is the best adjective i can use for this..but it's the truth :] reminds me of that song by JIN called "yum dam cha". ahhh i love going to yum cha for lunch (:


so with dim sum, it has a lot of shrimp. i'm not big on shrimp..but i AM big on other stuff.

for example, i like loh mai gai. at first if you're canto, you think chicken because of the gai. but it's not chicken. it's rice wrapped in this tea lotus leaf thing. inside the covering is this stick rice that's normally with some sausages cut up, some meat, and egg yolk. it's SO GOOD :] mhmm my favorite word to describe this stuffff.



many people like cha siu bao which is a white bun with roast pork in it, but it's not my favorite. i guess it's good though?
what i like is this plain white bun called MAN TAO. you dip it in condensed milk. mhmm i love my condensed milk!


so another thing i LOVE about dim sum is the FRIED TARO BALLS. these are AMAZINGGG. <33 this is like the taste of heaven. so good ^^


oh yes, another we cannot miss! it's the churng fun! they're like noodles but not really. elky's favorite too! so how can i not mention it? there are different kinds, like shrimp and meat. here's the pic of the shrimp one.



now let's move on from the main food to the sweet stuffff. THE DESSERTS!!!! how can you ever miss them??

i'm gonna start out with egg tarts, or dahn tat as we call it (: these are so good.


i also like mango pudding. mmm and you put sweet milk on top (: not sure if it's condensed, but if it is, this is lighter than the other condensed milk used w/ man tao, which is thick condensed milk.
so uhhh i can't find the perfect picture. but i bet you know what it looks like :D

weeeeee done with my yum cha/dim sum theme! (:
now on to my favorite baos! (:

yup, suddenly i have an urge to share more of my favorite chinese food (:

so this is the random babbling about the chinese food i loveeee to eat. and i don't think it's shanghai food. just food i always eat w/ family at chinese restaurants..but maybe some is from shanghai. idkkk~~

anywayss i gotta start with CHINESE DONUTS. so good. fried and oily like cheong yau bang but REALLY GOOD. and i dip it in dau jurng. it's like soy milk. except it can be warm or cold (:



something else i like to eat is geen meen (: it's like fried noodles? i guess i can say it that way. it's really good too ^^ sorry picture doesn't make it look super good..but it IS. (:



hmmm i also like fook een chau faun. it's like fried rice with veggies and such over it. it's SO GOOD!!


ahh chinese food is so good. :]
i also took these pics off internet. xD
hehehhh enjoy looking at these pictures with mee.

mhmm yes i do.
shanghai food is so..what's that word?
good, delicious, amazing.
the best thing i had in my life?
it probably tops that list (:

recently we went to a shanghai restaurant w/ my family, michelle, isabel, auntie mary, auntie nancy, and uncle bernard. it was on labor day. and boy was it good!

we had jja jang myun (yup, saying it the KOREAN WAY). i think my love for korean dramas and kpop made me love jja jang myun even more because i discovered jja jang myun from korean dramas! and it looks so delicious there..and well, it is.


we also had siu leong bao, which is this super tasty meat with some liquid stuff inside this covering. REALLY GOOD. okaay well my description isn't exactly perfect..so..my bad xD



we also had cheong yau bang, which is translated into green onion pancakes. really yummy too ^^


i REALLY love shanghai food.
IT'S SO GOOD
wish i could eat it everyday <3

i stole the pics off the internet..and don't they just look so good??

why do you guys keep fighting?
over stupid stuffff
can you just PLEASE calm down?
i wish we'd have a day of peace.
where nobody is accusing another person.
where we can sort out our difficulties.
actually, where YOU 2 can sort it out.
stop blaming
stop yelling
stop accusing
no matter what i try to do to stop this, nothing is working out. DD:
on the outside we are a happy family
but inside the house we are full of anger and constant bickering
i really hate living a double life
but who can i tell this to?
my friends all see our family as perfect
they wouldn't believe the things that happen inside.
life is quite a mystery to solve...
aigooo

i am extremely sad.
when my friend in photography asked me if jaebeom was still in 2pm, i had thought so. but coming home to check on allkpop only to find numerous articles of jaebeom leaving 2pm and going back to the states, my heart broke down.

how could those korean antis & netizens do this to him?? extremely sad news right now. i can't even seem to concentrate on homework. this is all too much.

but on the brighter side, maybe i'll meet him in washington one day (:

yesterday at sunday school, our teacher was talking about the 10 commandments. one of them stood out to me a lot. i think that i always break this commandment, and it's the 8th commandment which is DO NOT COVET.

what is coveting? well, it's basically wanting what others have.

or that's what i thought. but our sunday school teacher said that coveting is what i already mentioned above but it's also being jealous of others for maybe the friends they have, the personality they have, etc. why should we covet when God provides for us? it's basically saying that we're not thankful to him.

i know i am guilty of coveting. so many times in my life i have been jealous of others for being popular, or stylish, or smart, or super talkative.

the biggest example of this that i've seen in my life is from church. when i first came to fbc, i didn't have friends. i was jealous of this group of people that were always talking to each other and were good friends while i was out of the group. even after God gave me friends, i continuously found myself wistfully thinking if only this, if only that. if only they were my friends.

that lesson in sunday school really hit me hard. it reminds me of how much God provides and gives me, and how i should be thankful to him instead of wanting more. why is it that humans are always hungry for more and never satisfied? i'm going to start counting my blessings more. and i'll start now. i'm thankful for the friends that God gave me when i was all alone at church. i'm thankful for the people he brought into my life. b/c i know that he did it for a reason.

i thought this was really meaningful. epik high songs always have such deep meanings.

It's 12 at night, drunk with a tired voice.
It's 2 in the morning, a cold hangup of the phone.

No one knows my heart. I can't stop love love love.
Even though it hurts, I keep repeating. I can't stop love love love.

Have you ever loved.
Like in the movies where they fall in love at first sigh.
Stayed up all night on the phone.
Bragged to the world.
Waited in the pouring rain.
Ran like crazy towards them.
Secretly watched them.
Gone crazy.
Pretended not to see them.

Of course you have, loved.
Gone broke because of anniverseries.
Said sorry even after you did well.
Stayed up all night writing a love letter.
Moved a date with your family.
Prayed to God for them not to hurt.
Avoided friends.
Watched their backs as they left.


(Can't stop love love oh love)
I loved them like crazy why.
I was really good to them, why.
I gave my all.
You've got me going crazy
(Can't stop love love oh love)
I loved them to death, why.
I gave them my heart and body.
I've lost lost everything, what do I do.

No one knows what I'm feeling.
I can't stop (don't stop) love love love
Even though it hurts, I keep repeating.
I can't stop (don't stop) love love love

Have you ever broken up.
Had your makeup erase in the rain.
Cut your long hair.
Picked up a cigarette even though you quit.
Avoided a place thinking that you would meet them.
Written a letter that you couldn't send.
Get drunk and dial their number (hello) had your lips freeze.

Of course you have, broken up.
Hated them as much as you loved them.
Torn a letter you couldn't read.
Erased a number you couldn't forget.
Celebrated an anniversary on your own.
Burnt all the pictures.
Thought that all the sad songs in this world was about you.

No one knows what I'm feeling.
I can't stop (don't stop) love love love
Even though it hurts, I keep repeating.
I can't stop (don't stop) love love love
(Can't stop love love oh love) (x2 i think)

I LOVE YOU
I LOVE YOU

Cry like a fool, get drunk again.
Grab your friends and curse that person.
Time passes, and you get drunk again.
Pick up the phone, say love.

No one knows what I'm feeling.
I can't stop (don't stop) love love love
Even though it hurts, I keep repeating.
I can't stop (don't stop) love love love

No one knows what I'm feeling. Actually you're the only one who doesn't know.
Even though it hurts, i keep repeating. Someday we'll meet again.

when you ask if they want to come,
and they just keep being indecisive.
when you keep asking,
but you don't get a straight answer.
it's okay if you don't want to come,
just give me a YES or a NO.
it's better than leaving me hangingg.
instead, you just go online and say sorry there.
is it still meaningful?
and then i see pictures of you hanging out
with your friends.
having a great time.
not caring about what i was doing or what i was thinking.

thanks for caring.

this is how i felt.
probably didn't know eh?
just thought you could shake me off when you didn't need me.
you only talk to me when you're bored.

some friend that is.

first post here! this blog is gonna be for random things. some things are funny and cute while others are deep & personal. not like i'm gonna say names or anything though. as if anyone will read my blog.
