Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

So yesterday....today....I don't know how to blog anymore xD cuz the times are so different, and I'm not sure whether blogger is gonna put the times I post as Taiwan time, or PST. (Pacific Standard Time for anyone who is........nvm [x) so.

I freaking love LAX :D it's really pretty, but it was under construction =.= so it was kinda ugly, but still nice. (: I don't like getting there 4 hours early though x] you win some, you lose some. Oh FYI you guys, there's no free Wi-Fi in the airport XD I learned that the hard way. And there was this little kid charging his DS and playing it. and he kept looking over at my computer...and I'm like O.o uhhhh kid I'm right here. and he does it a few times [x it was odd. OHOHOH and there were these German people :D seriously you have to hear German spoken fluently. It sounds really really nice. They say Spanish is a romantic language (I know right >.>), but German is nice (:

Anyway, so we got to the gate on time, and they board 20 minutes late =.= and they say to be at the gate 30 minutes early. We got to sit on the upper deck :DDDD cuz iono. but yeah =] it was still economy class, but it was like half empty! So I got a whole 3 seats to myself ;D it was SOOOOOOOO NICE!!!! Why get first class when you can get 3 economy for the price of 1? =]]] so that really made the flight nice.

This was actually the first flight where I wasn't at some time begging for it to be over. I watched....let's see. CSI-NY, Spongebob, 90210, Push, 17 Again, and another movie but I forgot [x uhh....yeah. and I played some games [:

The flight attendants were really nice (: one of them looked like Catherine [x

13 hours later......

In Taiwan (: and after a 30 minute car ride and a stop at a 7-11 (they're everywhere. seriously), we get to my aunt's new house. IT IS SO FREAK'N BEAUTIFUL!!!!! 4 floors, 3 inhabited, cuz top floor is laundry and solar panels :O. I get my cousin's room :D which is super super nice. You'll be seeing some pics of the house on facebook soon. It's BEAUTIFUL! not even a year old. We stayed up until 12:30am talking and eating [x

7.31.09

Ate some dan bing (like chong yo bing) for breakfast, and played some foosball and WiiFit XD it's so much harder than it looks!!! no lie!

Theme Park today :D it's called....Leofoo Villiage Theme Park (: IT'S SO FREAK'N HUGE!!! I think they sent a spy to Knott's Berry Farm. Cuz they had a "Montezuma's Revenge" type thing, a "Big Foot", a "Log Ride", and just so much of it was similar o.o but the decorations are 1000x better. It's incredible how much money they put into decorations alone.

There was this operator lady in a swinging ship ride (better than the one at Knott's though cuz it went all the way vertical), and she looked like Sarah Ko and Tina mixed together O_O at first I thought it was Sarah Ko cuz she looked more like her. but scary!

We were there from like 10-3? and my feet hurt. I had this really big cup of shaved ice and mango (: so I'm kinda tired. maybe I'll update this if something happens tonight.

~Chris

p.s. If you're white and you go to Asia (and for some reason you read my blog.........) people STARE at you! like you're albino or something. Especially operator ladies and people in restaurants.

My Other Half

So I'm in Taiwan right now, and it's like 8:04am, so for you guys it's like 4:04pm. I just thought I'd let you know that I'm gonna be posting :D but that's kinda obvious cuz it shows up on your dashboard anyway XD

I have so much weird stuff to talk about on the plane ride and airports O_o surprisingly (:

Thanks for calling Alice :D I still owe you a voicemail.

you guys'll hear from me soon >:] (doesn't it suck ;])

-Chris

Last Minute Binge

Slept in today,then off to Tiffany's house, then off to Knott's =]

We kicked Tina out of Alice's car [x for Joe. which was kinda sad, but she didn't care. I really like her little animal things on the seatbelts O.o iono. they're just. yeah :D anyways, so we got there, and Allen was sitting all cool and whatnot, and then the fun stuff started.

I honestly don't know why I'm blogging about this. maybe I just don't want to forget it. I think I'll just write the fun stuff, instead of a super long useless post.

-Joe, Allen's, and my stranger pact.

-Half Wet, Half Dry.

-Mystery Lodge :D

-Daniel the really nice black waiter :D

-Marc the really cool asian? waiter :D

-Catherine's Party of Eleven

-Cam Whoring

-Snoopy on Ice =]]]

-Ghostrider at night

-Sitting with Alice procrastination

-slaps in the face

-Last minute Funnel Cakes :D

-white pillows

Now I'm off to Taiwan for a few weeks (: I get to take an SAT book, The World is Flat, and some other books [x yay. I wonder what I'm going to miss the most about here.

I'll blog though, if I have nothing better to do :D probably just to document what I do or if I need to talk to something.

bye (:

~Chris

A GOOD DAY :DDDD

my gosh.........today has been just an amazingly good day (: I'm really glad I'm getting some of these before I leave to go halfway around the world. where the people closest to me will be Tiffany Yeh and Sarah...ewww >.<

Well anyway, so I finished

Fast Food Nation

so that makes me pretty happy (: and I'm going to finish the essay tonight. so be jealous everyone ;D and I'm going to finish the book by tuesday >:] so yeahhhh.......good stuff =] I'm writing the essay for FFN right now, and I really am going to finish this tonight. but it's really hard to fit so much important stuff into one essay. I'm afraid it's gonna be super long >.<>

Anyways (: so about today. Went ice skating with Emily Hwang, Justin, and Pauline (you don't know Justin[or maybe you do]) from like 1:15-3:15 :D and that was fun. The ice was a lot smoother and a lot less people than last time. I failed again at trying to skate backwards but it was fun [x Emily kept trying to make Justin fall down, but he's pretty sturdy xD anyway. they made fun of us guys drinking out of the drinking fountain cuz it was like 2 feet off the ground, and we're like 6 feet w/ skates so yeah >.> kinda weird.

Then we walked to the mall and saw my mom on the way xD and we went to Yogurtland!! :D Justin's never been to Yogurtland, or the movie theaters in the mall D: talk about deprived. So then we went to Bath & Body and you can guess what happened xD

WE WATCHED THE PROPOSAL!!!! Oh mie goodness that is such a good movie. you seriously have to go see it if you haven't. It's cute, and funny, and it's just really really good. so go watch it :D or you can wait for it to come out on DVD, then come to my house and watch it (: I think that's prb funner >:] but go watch it now cuz it's worth it XD

this is seriously a long post o.o

So we were planning on going to Seal Beach on bikes tomorrow? (Avi, Opal, me, and some other people) but I don't think I can cuz I get out of church at 1, and it's kinda hot to bike at 1:30. so I can't go =[ it would have been fun though. so I guess just TWIFing tomorrow :O and maybe playing around on flickr (: I seriously love that website. cuz some of them are really good!!!

Formosa in 4 days :O it's so close!!!! kinda scary [x but I'm excited.

I want to do something on Tuesday, but I don't know who to go with or what to do... :/ quite a predicament. A certain someone wanted to go somewhere at 7/8pm >.> which is kinda not very realistic, but maybe if I'm really really desperate x]

gonna go work again.

bye~

-Chris

Another Last.

Today was my last day of volunteering of this summer, and probably the last time I'll ever see Regina, maybe even Brenda. I might not go back next year =/ depends.

Anyway, today was really fun :D there was this new couple though >.> and they started flirting and PDAing in the freak'n lobby <.<>.> whatever. so I finally figured out how to ride the volunteer's scooter thing :D which made me really happy, cuz I've been wanting to ever since I heard about it. Today was pretty much Gurney day >.> so lots of gurneys, but the good thing is that it takes two people =] so I had company for the whole day. We actually had really good conversation for like the first time :D which is kinda sad cuz it was my last day [x but she's really nice. I love Brenda though =D she's always so cheerful and nice and happy and patient. I wish I could be like her all the time. She kinda reminds me of that lady in To Kill a Mockingbird. The maid lady. cuz she's so protective/iono [x but yeah.

Swim picture today. There's this guy named Grant --x omigosh SOOOO gay D: he's so weird!!! and needs to floss [x but anyway yeah. he kept complaining about my leg, even though it was super tight cramped on the top row >.> (we were standing on bleachers) but yeah.

Jaimini came :D so I had company other than Tina, and Alice was off with Alyssa and her fan club. Then I ended up going on some random walk-adventure thing with Tina on a rocky slope thing, and talking about.......uhhhh.......something stupid x) but she's fun to talk to. Then after the picture we had cake and ice cream and Caprisun, and played with icecubes =D Then Tina and I went on a walk again (how odd O.o) and were looking at those big blue statues at Regional. Has anyone ever really looked at those things? They're about the history of the ocean or something o.o

Then I left. the end. but evidently Alice and her posse and Tina were shouting at me? uhhhhh yeaaahhhhhhh. sorry? x) Tina doesn't talk much on the phone btw. I was talking to her, and all of a sudden it's just quiet, so I hung up.

Notes:

SarahZhang: NEVERMIND SCREW YOUR BUNNIES D: I'll never see them anyway! but I bet they're super cute (:

JoeLee: Feel Special and stop being so self-conscious

Omigosh so this month was like the first month we ever got close to finishing our monthly minutes for cell phones XD (prb mostly me) but we got to 697/700 xDDD so yeah. kinda scary...but kinda cool (:

I'm going to finish FFN tomorrow :D and Alice, I think it's less nerdy to use an acronym than to spell out the entire thing. (: plus it's easier.

Love Rekindled.

I think I'm beginning to remember why people love weekends so much (: After all the boring stuff and commitments you have to fulfill during the week. You can do whatever, go wherever (for the most part), and just relax. (Unless of course you're a friend of mine named Azuo who got ditched by her parents at some chinese restaurant across from Quickly that I refused to bike to (:

but anywho. :D this weekend was super fun =]

So there was Saturday, which involved sleeping in on my part (: well actually not really [x I'm like programmed now to get up no later than 7:30 xD which kinda sucks. but I'm pretty sure I went to bed early on Friday. like 10:30 O.o cuz I was really really tired for some reason. Anyway :D so I tutored from 1-3, and got interupted by Alice and Tina trying to call me >:] but I, being the good tutor that I am, ignored them while working (;

So then I took a nap from like 4:30-6:30, and had this really freaky dream that Alice helped me out of :D by calling me and getting me out of that freaky dream >.<>.<>

Ice skating was really really really fun (: I had to run back home though, cuz I forgot long socks. So yeah (: Then everyone got there, and we just played around. The highlight of our day was the strobe lights and Catherine's need to know how guys pee.

To Alice: Sorry Alice for making you fall on your back!! D: but you got worse ones by yourself [x

To Tim: YOU SUCK BALLS D: CUZ YOU HIT MINE!!!

To Tina: Grow down a little bit [x seriously. you know too much.

To Catherine: Stop attracting guys and being so darn curious [x

To Joe: STAY WITH YOUR WOMAN ;] LOL hope your feet get better soon.

I know like what? 2 of you are going to actually see this [x (Alice and Tina), but that's ok.

Tiffany's so pro at skating O.o it's like DANG GIRL!!!! :D she looks good in a pony tail [x

So today, was pretty much routine, Church, Souplantation, home. and it was really hot and really boring, and I would have invited people over cuz my mom actually agreed to it this time, but I didn't know who to invite. So we ended up taking a family trip to the beach to walk the doggie (:

You know...Long Beach has a secret set of rules of people who can go there. Any trespassers will feel awkward.

1. You must be white/hispanic

2. If you are hispanic you must be in a family

3. You must be a...

a. Couple

b. Jogger/Biker

c. Dog Walker

d. Couple

e. Couple

4. You cannot hate dogs.

So pretty much that's it (: So all you asians who are single, hate dogs, and aren't athletic...this is not the beach for you xD but seriously, there were so many couples there o.o like EVERYWHERE!! and it was around sunset, so it was pretty cute/romantic (: kinda makes you wish you had someone like that. ^^ After that we stopped by In-N-Out and got some food :D which was really really really good >:] even though I detest burgers and meat xD this is some GOOD FOOD :D. I love how good and food are only 1 letter apart. So then we stopped by Yoshinoya and Fresh-n-Easy. (:and now I'm at home :D

What a wonderful weekend. <3

Hey! I thought I saw you!

Wow.....it's been a while since I last blogged. Well, not really. I have like 3 drafts that I never finished >.<>that badly. Unless you secretly love me (; then tell me so I can look out for stalkers.

So yesterday, I watched the crappiest movie I've ever seen --x like honestly it had the worst plot....actually no plot at all, but it had Nicholas Cage, and his acting was SOSOSOSOSOSOSO amazing. It was actually quite inspiring. (: but the. movie. sucked. so. bad. Honestly watch some clips of it, just to see how great his acting was, but don't waste an hour and a half like I did on that stupid movie =.= btw It's called Vampire's Kiss.

So right now, I could rant about parents and my "siempre mal" attitude, but I'd rather not (: cuz everyone has that, and I'd rather not have a pity party on my blog :D (no offense to everyone who actually does blog like that, do what you like) (:

Instead, I'm going to list everything that's gone right this summer :D but that's going to be on a separate post, cuz yeah (:

Oh joy >.> so my sister is staying in my room to listen to my iTunes, and she cant' find her phone...so she's gonna stay LONGER. but she found it now (: so she's gone. Oh great --x she came back. and I think she's reading this =.= which is VERY ANNOYING and quite distracting. Yay she left again (:

Stuff I still have to plan/do

-Go through Alice's music

-Go to Wild Rivers/Beach? o.o

-Go to Charles' House :D

-Movie Marathon night? =]

-Have Sarah meet my sister

-Finish Human Assignment >.<

-See Alice more.

I need more goals =.=

Honey, we need Therapy.

So today was/is July 5th =] Bloomfield is still closed (the street), and I have no idea why, but that's what they said, which is a little odd o.o since 4th of July is over, but maybe they have to clean up.......extensively.

Anyway, so everything was normal, except that Tim's birthday party was today, so as usual I got there late. This time I was like 2 1/2 hours late [x but at least I got to go.

So I kinda just let myself in [x I have no idea what possessed me to do that, but evidently it was the right thing, cuz later, when people rang the doorbell, Tim didn't wanna go get it xD Alice got tossed into the pool 2350981543 but I was only responsible for like 4 (: Tim did the rest, and Eric did some. but I still kinda feel bad (: (for many things actually xD) so, Sorry Alice!!! =]

Horray for chickenfight fails, Charades, water balloon babies, exposing Tim's secrets, and his really cool mom :D (I still think Alice's still wins though [x)

That questionnaire thing was probably one of the funnest birthday party activity/game things I've ever done in my life XDDD it was so funny and so fun and so intense >:] and of course our team won <3 =D YEAH ISABEL AND SARAH AND RACHEL AND KYLE XP but Kyle'll never see this. xD well I hope not. cuz that'd be kinda odd.

I'm sorry dear!!! for misleading you and abusing your trust!!! I won't do it for a while (: because I feel guilty and quite bad after you explained it like you did [x so yeah. I will be being nice :D and not misleading. and be a good GPS =) Hope that red splat on your back goes away soon. Battle Scars ;D

I iz thinking that Tim is gettingz a newz girlfriendz very soonz (;

~bye

-Chris

p.s. I heard you sing today OTQU (: not bad. a bit louder would have been nice though =]

4th of July

4th of July :D

So pretty much, I just got up, and was lazy, and then I had to help my parents set up for our BBQ out in the backyard. Then suddenly, my tutoree kid came, so I tutored from 1-3, so no BBQ for me, cuz I had to go to volunteer at 3. so yeahh.......then I showered and left.

Volunteering was fun :D fail advertising and eating samples at the beginning [x but we finally got it, and started getting customers. Then Tiff started going crazy with delivering and getting orders. and THEN she took my job and went making crazy cotton candy animals [x

SO MANY SISTERS XDD seriously. There was Tina, Stephanie, Michaela. so that can't have been good [x Then Alice, Catherine, and I ran away from Red Cross and I don't even remember what we were doing O.o I just remember that later we went on some rides [x and came back to a gigantic line XD so that was pretty cool.

The fireworks were nice, as usual. very bright and pretty (: I got some pictures, but most sucked. Then helped clean up and I need to return Erin's bangle/bracelet things. ><

-Chris

p.s. thanks Alice for watching me wet my head in the fountain like a complete idiot and not ditching me (:

Sacrifices

"See the sacrifices I make for you? (What do you mean your sacrifices? MY sacrifices)" hehehe (; I don't think I'll ever forget that (: but nevertheless, thanks for your little sacrifices that make my life so much better ^-^

So yesterday we had family bonding time :D and just like in pictures, Joe had to interrupt ;D hehehe jk Joe =] You know we loved having you here (except for Alice, cuz she's kinda odd (: and you two don't mix very well xD)

3:30-5: Transformers >:D and spoilers from JOE LEE D:
