Okay, so today my infection turned from purple to red. I guess that is a good thing because my blood is basically fighting off the bad stuffs inside. Also, my dad arrived today and believe me, it was cold out there. I was already wearing a huge jacket that usually kept me warm. But my body couldn't stop me from shivering. Also, I found out that my dad hasn't been sleeping for the last two days, so I suspect he should want to sleep now. While I was watching the news, I found out how idiotic it was. They were comparing a girl to a celebrity boy and how they looked alike. Honestly, I think that the Taiwanese people who said they looked alike are simply crazy. I cannot believe how blind they were, the only similarity I spotted was that they both are human. So I wanted to hand over my Vietnam movie over to my dad through a USB, but unfortunately he did not bring his computer, so I cannot help him. My throat does not hurt anymore, but rather feels like a bone is stuck in my esophagus causing me to cough unreasonably loud. Well, that is it for today. Goodnight!

Well great. Today I fell on the same wound that I fell on my skateboard about four months ago. The bruise never went away, it never bothered me, unless I hit it, then this searing pain rises. So, the icing treatment never healed my infection, so I am going to a trustworthy lady in Taipei over the weekends that helped me from amputating my leg. She saved my leg, so why not my finger? My mom right now is trying to watch television through the power of the iPad. Honestly, I would rather just get an iTouch , though an iPad has slightly a little more features. I think that Mr.Dahl's new video challenge is really going to be challenging, therefore, I think that I need to really start to prepare by using my Canon Camera or just my webcam. Anyways, I am most excited about the event that is coming up on Monday, where we get to present our videos. I beg on my knee to Mr.Dahl to show our video last, just to make it a nice surprise. Anyways, I hope that I can quickly heal so I can regain my basketball, skating, and swimming abilities. The good thing was that through my fever I have lost tremendous weight. Goodnight!

January 25,2011: 08:03 PM

Today was a horrible day for , me, I had the worst "hand" treatment in the whole world. In the beginning, I thought that it was some sort of cancer symptom, but it turned out to be some sort of infection. The treatment was painful, the doctor used some kind of a machinery that blasted icings onto my wound and it burned quite oppositely speaking. I see no changes, but I guess it will heal over time, besides, not knowing it is cancer is quite enough for me. Also, there is another medicine in line that I will have to push onto my wound every morning and night to relieve it, and hopefully will decrease the infection that is within it. Also, my nose is annoyingly clogged up so I can barely breath, but luckily my mom bought some medicine that will also relieve my nose from this annoying clog. Another thing that was disappointing, I received a disgusting grade on my final for math, but luckily my other small test grades will out-rule my final and give me a B for my semester grade. Also, my fever still hasn't left me completely, I still cough horribly and sneeze at a fast rate like a machine gun. Anyways, I must get along with my homework! Goodnight!

January, 24,2011: 07:00PM

Okay. So around two in the morning I felt really sick and my heart burned whenever I stood up and moved about. I decided that it wasn't that much of a big deal so I just went back to sleep. I the morning, my heart hurt even more than before, so I just drank some Airborne and same withe English class. During my expository writing class, I literally could not take it anymore, I fell asleep and was soon awaken by Mr.Joubert, I was lucky enough to not do my oral presentation today, because I was too "sick" to do so. I obviously could not go to swimming due to my status, but what kept me annoyed was the fact the Frank from the office, still wanted to subtract my 3 strike out rule. I wanted to ask him, " Frank, are you kidding me? I can barely walk and you expect me to train for the swim meet swimming a 600 Meter butterfly stroke?" But I guess Tony gave him some excuses and he finally let me go. Now I feel incredibly cold even though I am wearing three layers, two of which are thick jackets. Also, I hope Ben could finish learning his techno by the Talent show. Goodnight!

January 23,2011: 6:07 PM

Ok. So this weekend I finally renovated everything in the place of Rome, and received a cape from 100% rebuilt of Rome that will keep my notoriety down. I also received some VIP Uplay points that helped me gain the armor of Altair and the robe of Altair Ibn La' Ahad. He is the ancestor of Ezio Auditore de Firenze and the armor is made from the knowledge from the Apple of Eden, therefore making it indestructible. My grandmother just got a fever, since we can't give her any medication because of her "dead" brain, we just had to leave her to recover naturally. Just a few days ago, my grandmother's maid, Ina, gave my grandfather the news that she will be betraying her contract and moving back to Indonesia to have a wedding. Basically, she is disobeying the two year contract and leaving back to Indonesia and marry. In order to do this, she must pay a certain amount of money to make up the contract. Anyways, new years is coming up and my hellish family dinners are approaching. May God give me the will to be good tempered and not burst. Well, I must upload my gameplays now! Goodnight!

January,20,2011: 07:22 PM

Today was horrible, though I got to play my AC2 I still did not feel well. I was again, sick to the point where I am dizzy to the point where I can barely walk. Also, today, the orchestra had to join the musical crew to listen about a traveler acting in "Guys and Dolls" talk about acting, Tony and Ben luckily slipped away while I was trapped in there for no reason by Ms.Sherry. Towards the end of the discussion, I quickly burst out the door when Ms.Sherry left the room and headed the opposite way FROM the office to avoid her. From there I quickly ran to the sixth floor to await my filming crew, but about half an hour later, Ben came up and told me that we are filming on the third floor, which to me, is very "crappy". When a ghost is flying with the Scrooge they don't go around flying through "Pacific American School's" playground with basketball team members passing by, besides the ground on the sixth floor is perfectly green, creating a green screed for Tony! Anyways, tomorrow I have a final on math, then swimming, and lastly a Physics tutor. Darn it! I barely have time to rest! I hate the finals week, also, why does everyone must attend the talent show? Honestly, the school should stop forcing people to do something that is not necessary. Goodnight!

Today I found out news about how Facebook creator, Mark Zuckerberg might receive a death penalty from Pakistan. There was news on how a competition on Facebook created pages that offended the religions and leaders of Pakistan and Pakistan will not tolerate such behavior. Also, I have finally downloaded Assassin's Creed 2 for my Mac, which is like one of the hardest things to find. I am now struggling to find the right controls which took me like twenty minutes just to find and do. The story is one that I have already watched, I watched the walk-through of the game through the power of Youtube. Also, today Tony, Isumi, Ben, Tiger, and I filmed the "office" scene and the "grandfather - reading" scene. The costume making time, filming, and eating took us entirely five hours to complete. The most uncomfortable part of the time there was when we all had to squish in a tiny cab, and caused the driver a hard time to drive. Tony, was the the luckiest of all, since he is the "chubbiest" we allowed him to sit in the front, to prevent any of the other's bones to be seriously fractured. Tiger's house is on top of a hill and is very isolated. His dad burst in to flames a few days ago and deleted all the files on his computer and smashed his computer. Luckily, we "the computer geeks" always find a way to gain our games back, Tiger found a good torrent for Counter Strike 1.6 and can play without the game banning. Today I also had two finals, for History I wrote four pages and for writing I finished it quick, proofread it and turned it in. That is all that is to my day! Good night!

Janurary 18, 2011: 8:21 PM

Tomorrow we will head out to Tiger's house to film for our Final project for English. Tomorrow I also have two finals, one will be in history class and the other expository writing. For history class, we are required to write three of the four choices of the topics and write an essay on the three topics. The topics are the American revolution, English Colonization, French Revolution and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. I am choose everything but the English Colonization because there are over a dozen of dates I must remember for Ghandi. The essay is set to be 2.5 pages long, I suppose, because that is Mr.W's standards of a regular essay. I am now making a hidden blade with a new spring lock mechanism that will do exactly as the game does. Though it may take months to prepare, I think it is well worth it for next year's Halloween. I already received the website to by (not real) knives and swords.

January 17,2011: 10:31 PM

Today is one of the worst days in my life. The shadows of Ms.May is stepping over me, as her army of homework charge into my life. She gave me a chapter test to complete and basically the whole chapter for me to complete. Also, I got sick today, and it worried me because there is a new flu that is going around from India and I was afraid I received it. But I guess it isn't because I think I just got infected from Jeff Lin from Chinese class. Also, Ben is taking up my time because he couldn't get some basics of the math we are learning and it is taking forever to make him understand. But I guess it isn't his fault because his teacher in the states never taught him.  I am going to swim a fifty yard butterfly at the swim meet and a one hundred freestyle, I hope that they don't use the annoying guns anymore. If the are, I will just push the judge holding the guns into the water and run away. Just kidding, I don't think that is a very good idea. Anyways, my Physics tutor has been rescheduled to this Friday because of the huge amount of homework I had today. I had two essays to write, and again, the tons of math homework piled onto me. And my sickness is just making everything so inconvenient.

January,16,2011: 07:27 PM

Okay. Yesterday Ben completed our record of completing  Assassin's Creed Brotherhood story in only one day's time and 100% synchronization. What this means is that he completed the story flawlessly and did all the game asks him to do, in less than five hours. Honestly, I think that this can actually beat the record of the world, because for a normal gamer, it usually takes about two weeks of playing two hours everyday to complete it. How amazing is that? Great Ben, now we can finally enjoy our free roam and killing random guards with our new weapons now! On Friday, I went back with my mom and we argued continually on the hour ride back to Taipei again on taking me back to the states. Honestly, I don't want to stay here for the next four years, not being happy at ALL and just see my high school life fly by and getting stuck in a place that is bad to die. I wish for my high school life to be more normal and happier. I know that moving back will cause me to miss my mom and relatives, but I think it is worth it to move back and take all that away from me. I would actually risk EVERYTHING just to move back, excusing the ones that are too extreme, except for doing illegal stuffs. I will actually do those just to move back. Just to show how pissed I am. 

Thursday January 13,2011: 7:59PM

Sigh. My friends in the states are having the besting they could have. They are having Sadie's and proms and many other dances. Many of my friends are getting nice earrings and joining the dancing clubs and dancing against other people. Also, they have fresh clothes and having dance-offs in front of the school in the public. The cool thing is that, in such a big school, there is not one single bully in sight. How weird? People are just laughing and chilling their lives, living it happy and relaxing. Whereas, my life is all stressed and literally and emotionally dull. I feel no colors through my head, and I feel not excitement existing in my body. The girls, they act like strawberries, a term which we used to call "sassy" bilingual girls who thinks the way to "act" American is completely wrong. Allow me to explain, in order to be an "American" girl (in my school), you do not act "cute" or not eat anything to become thin and not grow (I will not explain in details). You express yourself and be who you are, and yes I can tell that some girls here are trying be "High School Musical" type girls, which is the completely wrong aspect of what an average American girl would be. Honestly speaking, you can't be too pure or else you won't just fit in. Besides, a boy you possibly like, will never like back at you if you are too pure. A message for the boys too, don't like a girl just because they are cute or hot, like them for a main reason; their personality, one that you can cope with. If you just look for "looks", I will slap you down, because that will not lead you to marry in the future.

Wednesday January 12,2011: 9:45 PM

I had a lot of homework today, because almost all my classes require essays to be done, therefore making my schedule quite tight. Also, adding the fact that I had a new tutor today, which caused me to work unstoppably throughout the time I had. Anyways, today I read and watched a video explaining about the complicated and strict parenting methods. One was a Yale University mom explaining about how Chinese moms "rule" and is the best. Even my mom heard about this on the radio, I argued with her during supper which caused today's atmosphere in my house to be very unstable. The other was a TED video where a guy talks about how Asian parents are strict with their kids. I think that it is ridiculous that a parent should be too demanding, because a child cannot handle a stress that is too great or else later one they will try to find a time where freedom is available and use it to do bad things to make up for their stress. Just as Mr.Dahl mentioned about a Vietnamese girl who failed her Freshman year in college because she supposedly "never" had any fun. I am now writing an individual 2.5 page essay on MUN UNDOF research, two articles about Beijing and Gandhi for World History, and two 900 words essays for Expository Writing II A class for Mr.Joubert. I think that with these homework in mind, I think it is enough for today.

Tuesday January 11,2010: 8:53 PM

I just finished a 911 word essay, wow, what a coincidence, 911 just like 9/11! I talked about the themes, iron, and characterization beneath the story name "The Old Man with Enormous Wings" which caught my attention over the break. I just commented on Sherry's status and Ms.Padachie, Sherry, Allen, and I immediately got into a great conversation about truffles and Ms.P's vacation. Anyways, I am planning to sleep early since I only slept three hours for the past four days, because my tutor forced too much homework on me and I cannot have the power to complete it through my regular routines. I will finish my extra credit for my MUN class tomorrow and turn it in on Friday to present my project. Ben hasn't been acting well lately, I think he is seriously mental, quite scary. He keeps on telling me random things about his life with Tiffany Ngyuen (his best friend) and how sunshines in LA are great and other miscellaneous things that he never really explains to me on regular days. I think that he really needs a break from his environment and a ticket back to America would fix him correctly. Yet I an unbelievable dice game with myself today and my answer for "will I ever go back" was a yes! Frankly, I believe in it and I hope it will actually determine my life! I got really excited and is now in a very cheerful state. I was supposed to head back to the states during Chinese New Years, but two reasons ruined my ticket back. The first one is that family dinners cramped my schedule and the second one is that it isn't really worth it to go back for just ten days rather than a two month vacation there. This week felt really fast, if you actually seriously think about it, tomorrow is already Wednesday and the next Thursday. Without knowing it, it will suddenly be Friday! And my appointment in helping Alan in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood will be made! I hope he does not log off early, because I might be home late and I really wish to play with him. Well, I need to take a shower now! May God be with you! Goodnight!

January,10,2011: 08:18 PM

Well, I was expecting a project for our English class, and I am quite excited about it. I am one of the main characters, I will be acting as the Scrouge! Oh, how wonderful, I get to be mean and say tuppence! When I watched how Jim Carrey said it, I am going to imitate his accent and act exactly like he does in the movie. Also, it was very random to me that the 30 second video of the Aliens and Bunny production, since I have never watched "The Grudge". It seemed like a fast blur to me... Anyways, Ben is making the classic Assassin's Creed hidden blade:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUUe8dLftSc which you can see here in this virtual training room that to trigger the blade under your sleeve, you simply push your hand outward and the blade will come out. This is said to be made from Leonardo Da Vinci as we see him in the game and he invents the blade. The original blade was to dangerous to use, because it will cut through the index finger of the user. Anyways, there was not much else going along the day, except that my Minecraft house is almost complete and Tony is going to help me build some of it.
Tomorrow, my team, Brian, Jason, and I are going to present tomorrow in MUN instead of Friday for extra credit and we are going to shine! After five weeks of hard working, we are now able to put on the finishing touches and present of beautiful project.
Well, that is all the interesting things that has shown up today! Goodnight!

Sunday January ,2011: 7:02 PM

I cannot believe today, I had the most fun playing one of my new game, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood! First of all, most of the Italian Renaissance thinkers in my history books are in the game and talking and giving ideas! Second of all, I saw all the cool moves that the assassin you be, Ezio Auditore can make, and maybe a little idea about how to sword fight. I have also just thought up what to dress for Halloween next year, also I must know how to make his hidden blades that is placed on your wrist beneath your clothes. Allow me to explain to you the history of the Assassin's Creed, it all began with a Muslim man who wanted to assassinate all the Crusaders and it's leaders. After he completed his mission, he write a book about how to be an assassin and his job passes down through blood. About 300~500 years later during the Renaissance, a noble family called by the name of the Auditore became part of the Assassin's and Thieve's guild. Ezio, one of the Auditore, was 17 when his grandfather, father, mother, and his brother was hung due to treason and some other crimes. Ezio, wanting to take revenge, heads all over Italy in search of Cesare Borgia, the leader of the Borgia family who owns Italy with greed. In Assasin's Creed II and Brotherhood you play 27 years of Ezio's life and you watch him age. By the end of Brotherhood, Ezio is forty-four and Desmond, his descendant at the year of 2012 stops reading his DNA and desynchronizes from his ancestor's memory. This is how Assassin's Creed ends and I hope that they will start other editions of it!

Thursday January 6, 2011: 8:45 PM

So today, my Minecraft character has now built a huge wooden house surrounded by sea in the west, where the sun sets, and to my west, some beautiful green mountains. Ben built one before somewhere in the other world and a pig that was burning burnt it down. Yesterday, I didn't know why, but I couldn't solve many easy math problems, which made my tutor impatient. Anyways, my feet went completely dead during the evening and was completely purple, because there was no blood circulating on my foot bottom. I finally payed Julius his 8000 NT for his TI-89 calculator, and trust me, it is hard to use! The manual script is about 1000 more pages long and no one ever really read it. At least, I found out how to do easy division, addition, subtraction, and multiplication on the TI-89. There are even things for finance! I can imagine all the crazy huge numbers that appear in that format. Also, I asked the Apple forum yesterday on how to send iMovies through email and publish through facebook. Ms.May yet again forgot that today was thursday and went on with the class AFTER the bell rang. This angered the class and they started complaining, I bet she was embarrassed. Anyways, there is not much to right, but yes, I skated today after weeks and my kickflips are almost complete. Goodnight!

Wednesday, January 5, 2011: 7:52PM

Well, today was a wonderful day, I finally cracked and received the Alpha 1.2 version of this game called Minecraft. The game a first-person sandbox game, with classic graphics style that brings the gamer back to the 1950s "Mario" gameboy graphics. It is a survival game that is addicting for some reason and you encounter many dangers in the game. Through some information that I found on the web, I found out that the Minecraft world is literally three times the size of the Earth. Which means that you can literally walk on forever, because it is impossible for a man to walk the Earth without any food or shelter. Anyways, today was a regular boring day, but there is something I cannot get out of my head ever since the start of break. There is this girl in the states that I used to like and for some reason I cannot get her out of my head! Her best friend told me that she is amazingly flattered that I like her, which pushed me into a good mood. Mr.Dahl's class was normal, we read stories and read some exercises and did the Holt Reader. In history, I found out that an old student is back and her name is Sandy, I only saw her once, but that was enough to know her a little. She is a very affable person and laughs a lot and I see that she is a good person! During expository writing, Mr.Joubert had to keep watch of Benson and Ben, because he suspected that they were playing and discussing topics about Minecraft, instead of writing their thesis statements! There was not much more than that today, so I'll just say a farewell! Goodnight!
