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.

after a long time away, i'm back mr. blogger! it's not that i didn't want to blog in the month or so that i completely lost touch with you, but i just didn't know what to say because everything that happened has been so uniquely taiwanese!! :D and my english is becoming very very horrible so it is actually a bit embarrassing to post my horrible english out here on my dear bloggie.
anyway, updates! later today i'm going to hong kong with my mom because my VISA is going to expire at the end of this month. we're gonna go watch mamma mia!
what have i been doing lately mr. blog? i've been working at giraffe, half taking care of little kids learning english and half doing admin/receptionist work. here's giraffe's website: www.e-giraffe.com.tw!
and then there's one little secret thing that only chrissy knows about so far.. ^^ hehe but i will tell you mr. blog when the time is ripe. tata!

i'm becoming rather unsure on who reads my blog now. nevertheless, what's on here should be ok for everybody to read right? and i mean EVERYBODY.
facing a dilemma lately. ew this keyboard is sticky. anyway.. i seem to have this same problem over and over again! something must be going wrong in my brain for me to make the same mistake time after time. and i'm sure i have some, if not all, free will over these decisions i make. so why does it still happen? almost awe-stricken.
i'm so indecisive. or maybe it's just that i don't have enough faith. what's been happening doesn't exactly give me the faith i so need right now. i'm slipping.. and i can feel it. slipping away from it. slipping out of it. how do you slip out of it? i'm dumbfounded by the entire process, yet it is real, it is happening, it is happening to me.
and yet, i still don't understand it.
很愛很愛你 可是 也...

rot
maybe this is the way it always ends. yeah.. remember this?
The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river
i think it will end. for the first time, i can actually see it happen, like a little video clip being played inside my head. and then it's all over. not with a bang but a whimper.
it wasn't as grand as we thought it was.
here we go round the prickly pear? game over, it's time to go home. what used to be our passions became food leftover, lukewarm, lying lifeless on the table. waiting for itself to rot.
whatever, it wasn't supposed to mean anything in the first place, right? i'm tired..

and one more thing..
at NTU they seem to take delight in activities american kids do in elementary school. like they have show-and-tell during english class, and i think a spelling bee is coming up at the end of this month. who knows.
from berkeley to horrid novels written in the tang dynasty (charlton should i hold you partly responsible for this?)
whoa..! i got my student ID and pin number for my berkeley summer session classes, and guess what, they're exactly the same ones i got for when i was admitted to berkeley last year! and everything was still there, like my telebears account and everything!!! except that it said i had no classes, which was the only difference from when i last saw it. HAHA. what irony. and to think, when i clicked the "cancel registration" button i thought i'd never see these blue-and-yellow screens again.
it's funny, i still sort of feel like a berkeley student. i guess maybe somewhere deep down in the sentimental part of me, i still wished i had gone to berkeley? i don't know.. or maybe just knowing that i'd have a college to belong to whenever i go back is a comforting thought on its own. hmm. i love how i have some advantages of a berkeley student and yet, i'm not REALLY a berkeley student. like i have the cal student ID card (although it doesn't work when swiped, i remember last using it to buy bus tickets?). and like i mentioned before, tele-bears. and little things like the aman berkeley schedule planner. and little pieces of tidbits like the better food at crossroads, the rowdier crowd at the units, etc etc. everything makes me feel like i just veered off the right path by not going there.
it's even more annoying now that i have to do a huge chinese project and write an essay about a story written in the tang dynasty. -_____-;; oyyyyy.. the book i found in the library to help me actually looks like.. one of those artifacts you'd dig up. or back in the days when they used to write books using nice caligraphy and connect the pages together by tying it with a rope. and when i read my own writing, it feels like i went back in time to when i was in fourth or fifth grade, my first two years in the states, because it is freakin frustrating trying to express my thoughts exactly. not to mention typing in chinese is an even bigger pain. although i must brag a bit here, that my typing speed is already a lot faster than many of the students here, and THEY have been typing chinese for as long as they could type! muahahhaha... ^o^
*ahem* anyway, someone save me from this horrid, horrid chinese essay i must now go back to... wah.

quizzie, just like the old days
Ballet shoes- beautiful, graceful, and creative,
you enjoy dancing writing and music. You are
often very poetic and sometimes dramatic. You
keep to yourself aside from a few close friends
that you can relate to.
What Kind of Shoe Are You?
