| These past few days have been ok, nothing really exciting happened. Although I did go to a Sam's Club over here. I have to say that my experience there was interesting, but not exciting. They sold similar things as the Sam's Club in America, but everything was Asian. So it was kinda like a big Asian Food Market with everything else you need for life. Everything was cheap and top quality... well as top as you can get in China. They were also selling Apple products, the iPod touch 8GB was selling for $279.00 USD, that's only $20 USD less than the 16GB over in America. I even went to Sephora! Let's just say the it was waaaaaay over priced. As you can see foreign products are still expensive as usual. But out of all the boredom, I did get a new cellphone over here. It's a Sharp cellphone bronze stainless steel, very pretty. The software design isn't as high tech as the ones in America but its good enough. The cellphone was manufactured in Japan (Yay Japan!), so I don't need to worry about quality. So I did not get my original dream phone, the Sony Ericsson S500c, because the company is going to stop manufacturing the phone. Thus, I got the Sharp SH6010c instead, plus Sharp cellphones are not available in America (hehehe) so I thought it would be more worth it than getting another Sony Ericsson model. The next step is to get a SIM card over here so I can use it. Hmmm.... did I mention that I also went bra shopping? Now that was an experience! Bras imported from other countries cost around the same price as those in Victoria's Secret. It was insane! 450 RMB for one bra? So not worth it! So obviously it's a better idea to buy one made in China. It's much cheaper, but still around $8~12 USD, a reasonable price. I entered a store call 6ixty 8ighty, known for female swim suits and underwear, and I had to pick the biggest size there... >.> it was embarassing. I kinda wished I made the purchase in Victoria's Secret that day, the quality was better(Oh well). So if any of you guys are bored, just e-mail me, cause I'm totally bored out of my mind here. I'm just laying around the house, totally wasting time (something I hate). Please save me!!!!! Oh and as I'm typing this, the weater outside it sunny with a blue sky so rare over here!  (<------ see what I mean?!?!?!) Here are my cellphone pictures: Front View  Back view  Side View  Open  Well that's all! ~JayJayZhang | |

| Hey Everyone!
I just recently got off a 16 hour plane ride from Newark Airport to Hong Kong. It was really really really really loooooooong!!! The only good thing that came out of the plane ride was me catching up on all the movies I've been missing since the winter of 2008. I ended up watching Confessions of a Shopaholic, New in Town, Boys Over Flowers and Taken (Yes! They had Hana Yori Dango! *squeeeee*). All were really good but I liked Taken the best. It was amazing how the father risked his life to save his daughter (I totally wish my dad was like that). I also really enjoyed the people I sat with during the ride. Instead of sitting with my mom and two younger brothers, I ended up sitting between two co-workers going on a business trip. They were really fun to talk to and I ended up giving tips to them, especially about the bathrooms over here. Since we were going to end up in the same city, Shen Zhen, I told them about the different ways they could enter the city from Hong Kong. It turns out that both of my seatmates had another co-worker in first-class that was going to take them around. During the end of the ride, we split ways and wished each other good luck (I don't know why).
Eventhough everything was smooth, and really fast, the worst part of the travel occurred after getting off the Ferry from Hong Kong to Shen Zhen. When we went to retrieve our luggage the violin my mom checked onto the plane was damaged, like REALLY REALLY damaged. One out of the two bows were broken, a side of the violin was falling off, and there was a big crack at the middle of the violin. We had to stay at the customs area to file a complaint because we don't know if the damage was from Continental or from the Ferry. It was very fustrating because I advised my mom not to check the violin but she didn't listen, so we had that problem. Another thing about the violin is that it is not ours, it is my brother's violin teacher's violin. I have no idea how my mom is going to pay for the damage that was done to the poor instrument.
After getting out of customs and getting to my dad's new apartment, I was really exhausted. The funny thing was, when I saw my grandparents and the new apartment, I somehow exploded with more energy than I thought I had. So two hours ago, I was happily eating dinner (at 10:45pm) and exploring the new apartment. Ok, let me say this, almost everything is made out of natural STONE/GRANITE! I felt like l was living in a stone castle or something. But truth is, I don't really like it, everything is the same color, you will understand when I put some pictures up. I will post some pictures tomorrow (its too dark now), and the rest will be on Facebook. So look for them!
I will end this post with the outline of my summer schedule (just incase people forget/want to know) so I can make plans to hang out with people! :D
6/20-7/3: Shen Zhen, China
7/4: Back at home
7/5: Traveling from Newark Airport to Detriot, Michigan
7/5-8/1: Pre-college program at CCS for Industrial Design

| 1. They will always smell good even if it's just shampoo.
2. The way their heads always find the right spot on our shoulder.
3. How cute they look when they sleep.
4. The ease in which they fit into our arms.
5. The way they kiss you and all of a sudden everything is right in the world.
6. How cute they are when they eat.
7. The way they take hours to get dressed but in the end it makes it all worth while.
8. Because they are always warm even when its minus 30 outside.
9. The way they look good no matter what they wear.
10. The way they fish for compliments even though you both know that you think she's the most beautiful girl on this earth.
11. How cute they are when they argue.
12. The way
her hand always finds yours.
13. The way they smile.
14. The way you feel when you see their name on the your cell after you just had a big fight.
15. The way she says "lets not fight anymore" - even though you know that an hour later....
16. The way that they kiss after you have had a fight.
17. The way they kiss you when you say "I love you".
18. Actually...Just the way they kiss you...
19. The way they fall into your arms when they cry.
20. Then the way they apologize for crying over something that silly.
21. The way they hit you and expect it to hurt. * i think every girl is guilty of this :)
22. Then the way they apologize when it does hurt (even though we don't admit it).
23. The way they say "I miss you".
24. The way you miss them.
25. The way their tears make
you want to change the world so that it doesn't hurt her anymore...
Yet regardless if you love them, hate them, wish they would die or know that you would die without them it matters not. Because once in your life, whatever they were to the world they become everything to you. When you look them in the eyes, traveling to the depths of their souls and you say a million things without trace of a sound, you know that your own life is inevitable consumed within the rhythmic beatings of her very heart. We love them for a million reasons, no paper would do it justice. It is a thing not of the mind but of the heart.
A feeling.
Only felt.

| So we all know that when summer ends, school starts. People get busy and lose themselves in those big piles of school work, especially during Junior year. Therefore before I get busy, I would like to look back on all the new memories I have created over the summer. I have made life long friends who I might go to college with, met a person who changed my life, and found new paths on how to deal with the future. All in all this summer is like a turning point in my life.
By going to a industrial design program over in LA, I met people who made a big impression on me. Those people were my classmates. You might think it's silly but when you eat, sleep, and work with people; you see a whole different side of them. By working with people who were better than me in both art and design, I absorbed information much quicker than usual and tried to catch up to them. Starting with no experience with the design I was completely clueless with things. But everyone helped each other and tried to make things easier for the beginners, me. We were like a mixed family trying to the problems being thrown at us. Once we got use to the crazy schedule, design became our life, a life I could get use to. All we did was sketch, design, and draw! Life couldn't get better than that! Oh but it did... you see, at the end of the program we made a promise, we were all going to get into the same college and work towards our goal as designers of the next generation.
But meeting amazing classmates was not the thing that changed me, it was the teacher who was leading us. You can all laugh and say,"She is such a dork!" but it's the truth. I feel like a main character from a drama who's life changed because a teacher was there to guide her. Well unfortunately its the truth. With out this experience I would still be unsure of my future and life goals, but now I have a goal and I have a plan(s) for my future. My friends would totally laugh at me because they would think of it as a joke. I'm not the type who works hard.... on anything, so this is big. The teacher tought me countless things and I enjoyed every moment of it. For once in my life, I enjoyed learning and thinking. Thank you so much for the opportunity!
Now the different paths I have for the future is very complicated.... so I'm not going to get into it. Overall I feel like a different person, one who knows her life goal and has a plan on how to pursue it. This summer has been the best summer of my life and hopefully more will come in the future.
Now back to SAT studying.... -.-' | |

| I know that it has been a loooooooooooooooong time since I posted, but I would like to share that school is almost over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have 2 more days of finals and then I am home free! The next thing on my agenda is to get organized for the summer. Hopefully I will be able to redecorate my room this summer because I haven't been able to for the past 3 summers. I know, it kinda sucks since I have been planning to do it since 2004 and I don't want to wait anymore. I want to change my bedroom into a art studio where I can work on my artwork. I'm currently using the dinning room as my studio and my mom doesn't like that.
Well, enjoy your summer!

| Ever since spring break ended, I've been really busy with school activities! I'm running around like a mad woman! There are posters to do for our school's Asian Festival and art pieces to hang up for the Senior Exhibition. I finally finished the big banner and my booth's poster for Asian Fest today, it took a loooooooong time! About five and a half hours to finish the banner and the poster! Tomorrow I'm missing classes to set up for the Senior Exhibition so lucky me! But I'll be busy running up and down the stairs getting materials and running errands for the gallery. I should be done by the end of school, but I then have to run over to help set up for Asian Festival. I'm going to be mad busy tomorrow! Other than me being unusually busy, my dad ended up in the hospital last night, he has some intestine infection and is running on a high fever. I really hope he feels well soon! I just wish for this week to end! ~Tsukiko | |

| Yesterday I visited a science museum, it was ok, I only liked the 3-D movie and the IMAX. But after that my family and I went to Mitsuwa for dinner! It was like I was in heaven! I went over to the Books Sanseido and got the April addition of the Myojo magazine! I'll ask my mom if it is possible for her to scan the NEWS pictures for me along with the Yamapi picture I drew a few days ago. I'll post the magazine scans here and at the news_jpop community so keep an eye on my posts! If I can's get it scaned onto the computer, the next step is to take pictures of the magazine. Today I don't have much to do. Art lessons are the only thing I have other than getting the basement ready for my dad's party and cleaning my room. Life is boring when you don't have anything to do. ~Tsukiko | |

| Today is just a boring day. Nothing really happened, all I had today was my art lesson. My mom is yelling at me like usual, nothing special. Sometimes I just wish she would stop and listen to how I feel. She doesn't trust me, respect me, and care about me. I just want to go and find myself a apartment near my school and live by myself. It would be easier for me and my mom. We wouldn't get into fights about stupid things, it would be for the best. I just wish everything would fall into place for the next few days. I'll stop here for today, too many things are coming to my mind.

| Maybe, just maybe people will understand what I have gone through. So many things just pisses me off. All I hear is "Do this!" and "Do that!"; "Finish cleaning your room" or "Shut up!". Everyone is telling me what to do! Why can't I just do things at my own pace? I'm sick and tired of it. Even my little brother is bossing me around and he's seven years younger than me! Everything is out of order in my house. I just wish that someone understands what I go through everyday. Everything I try to do is to help my family. Occasionally I do rebellious things to piss my parents off, but that's only natural right?
What I'm currently going through makes me shake in anger, but also the past that I have lived through. I have gone to school in China and done a remarkable job. But that doesn't change the fact that I have been bullied and pushed around just because I was from America. I would always hear "You're from America, you're suppose to be stupid!" or even "Go cry to your nanny! You're nothing but a piece of trash!". I was very sensitive back then and would cry at any cruel comment. If you think that was the worst, try being sexually harrassed by you're own classmate. That guy, he was the pervert in the class, but when it came to me, he wouldn't stop touching me. "Dude, we're only in 4th grade! We can't have sex! So stop touching me!" I should have said that back then. Then again, I should have been stronger back then. Because I was weak and vulnerable, they picked on me, no one was there to help me. Even when I was alone, I had a friend. He didn't really help me when it came to our classmates taunting, but he was always there to talk to me and make me laugh. He was the only person there to keep me sane. I even went to my grandma and asked her if it was possible for her to thank his parents for looking after me. He was the light that brought me out of the darkness. If I hadn't gone through this experience, I would be a totally different person. If I stayed there, I would also be different. This experience was hard to bear, it gives me nightmares just thinking about it. But the part that makes me feel the worst is how I ran away from it. I never wanted to go back after summer vacation because I was so scared of everyone. In a way, I regret it.
Just typing all that makes me think how I became different when I was in that harsh environment. I was studious and hard working, a complete opposite of who I am now. I should be grateful for what I currently have and cherish every moment of my life. I always compared my life to the dramas I watched and found out there isn't much difference. Since I have gone through that period of my life I have wondered if I should become a teacher, someone who helps the students when they are in need of help. Not someone who scolds at you because you can't get a problem right or if you have a bad grade.
I just ranted on my life :D Well hopefully some of you now understand how lucky you are. I'll end it here for today
