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

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.

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!

     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
