apparently my previous post was a little bit misleading.. "sex on the beach" is a drink. i didn't actually have sex, and to do it on a beach would be too cold at this time of the year. ;)
but i love how the name always misleads people. i remember when cys went touring in france and some of us snuck out to go to this pub.. i ordered my second sex and people started shouting, "shelley wants more sex!"
haha. there you go kaka. don't worry i'm still saving myself for you. *muah*

almost xmas!
it's a week before christmas and everywhere i go i hear jingle bells! went to a jazz club/pub today (brown sugar) and it was great! except i spent a week's worth of food money tonight.. but the music was definitely worth it. i also tried sangria for the first time and sex on the beach (the nth time!), but i think i still like sex better. haha :D
think i'm gonna go dancing for christmas and new year's eve.. but maybe not both. my friends all seem to be taken for christmas eve.. apparently it's supposed to be a "couples" night. :( i despise how some holidays in taiwan just become another form of valentine's. especially when i don't have a valentine.
so what is everyone else doing for christmas? when does everyone's christmas vacations start? this blog is becoming kind of lonely..!

updates!
i hate missing thanksgiving. there's no turkeys and no giving thanks to things (even though we're supposed to do it all the time). and at this time of the year it's supposed to feel family-mushy-like isn't it?
after, what, four months, the 40-year-old virgin is finally playing in taiwan. i remember i missed that because of stupid jet lag when i visited.
this year i would like to spend xmas and/or new year's eve in a more college student fashion.
oh and does anyone know people in the fashion industry?

busy
school is SUPER busy and tiring.. especially this year because it's the third year, and you're supposed to be having deep conversations and thoughts in japanese. also, because japan is so related to china, it doesn't help that i lack the solid background in chinese history/literature that everyone else has.
went to see the vivienne westwood exhibit with evan today! it was FABULOUS. i think my favorite would be this one dress that was made of RUBBER. it looked like the one monica bellucini(?) wore in matrix II or III, but it was white. and i don't know if it was the way the light hit on the dress, but the entire thing, jacket and skirt, looked like very much edible white chocolate. :P
i wish i had courage like westwood's to do whatever i felt like and not care about what anyone else thought. and to eventually find a husband who shares the same passions i do and supports me in my work and play.

tumbleweed
is the name of my new hairstyle!
it was really short before but then i cut it even shorter and dyed and permed it. so now it's a big fuzzy ball but not like an afro. i call it the tumbleweed. :D
and it's all for free! it's a promotional thing for their website, so all i have to do is do some poses and let them take pictures and put it on their website. i saved about.. $3000 NT at least!! ^^

i hate finals
finals are this week and next week and next next monday for me. :( boo i hate finals. so i don't get summer until the 27th!!!
summer plans are studying japanese (classes and on own), salsa/ballroom dancing etc., AIESEC stuff (it's a club, i KNOW berkeley has it too even though all of you deny it!), going to japan with mom, and maybe some other little traveling on my own.
so as you can see, most of the time i will be in taipei! that means come visit me!!! :D my english is getting fobbier as the days go by, please someone come rescue me!! >"<
and due to the lack of updates, if you're reading this please tag or just say hi (like dennis, see?). no one ever tags it makes me very sad that no one seems to remember me anymore. :(
and how do you put up pictures?

guess what
i downloaded AIM again so maybe that'll help me keep in touch with people. taipei is sometimes the center of everything and sometimes way out of the loop. how funny. i might go to cali over summer, not sure yet, but not many people will be in cupertino it seems! >"<

so..
no one may be reading this anymore but.. hey i can still write in it right?
sometimes a song would come up or i'd smell something and.. images of tino and of the past would suddenly flash before my eyes (i guess like they do when you die? huh....) . well, i really miss it there.
as much as i miss it there, though, there is nothing you can do but keep putting one foot in front of the other and just keep walking. city life USED to be my thing.. i don't know. living in taipei can be so stressful. everyday there's people people people EVERYWHERE! and you squish around and get bumped around and it's even worse when it rains. ugh. the population density in this city is just TOO MUCH!!!! gahhhh~~~~
today i almost suffocated crossing the street. every breath i took was a different smell, and every breath very very dirty air. bleh.
