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 ;])

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 (:

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~

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
