Not cool.

I just found out tomorrow is not going to be the last day before Spring Break for me. Apparently, on Friday, I have another day of horrible school and to make matters worse, the orchestra. Honestly, virtually everyone in that room is either an annoying sixth grader or someone like Percy who just blabbers nonsense. The funny thing is that it is from eight in the morning all the way until two in the afternoon. This ticks me off especially, because I have to sit there and play retarded music for the whole time watching weird people sing and dance. It's not that I don't like the musical, it's that I don't like the people I am cooperating with, guess the world is being a little bit TOO unfair. So I spent today working on my sixty pages to read and respond MUN assignment, some pictures to bring to school for our timeline, and of course, my MUN three page(no double space) essay. I finally finished it today, it was all about Mexico, frankly, I felt that that process is the fastest out of them all.

Did not go to school.

Ok. So I did not go to school today, because I had way too much homework to catch up on. Normally a person going to a conference would only be absent at a maximum of 2 days from school, I was gone five! Another thing was that there was no internet around in Russia, and every time I had a chance to use it was at the conference, and I couldn't, obviously. Anyways, I just found out that Tony did not complete the Animal Farm quiz so I had to do it myself with Ben. It was pretty quick that we finished it and I decided to call my dad. I bought him a 50 US dollar pack of "Davidolff" cigarillos, he seemed really happy. I also bought my mom some baltic amber, so with Amanda, because she asked for it. Anyways, five people in our school applied for Berkeley and they all got in it, it was pretty exciting. Ok, so I have some things to finish, especially my MUN.

No Internet in 10 Days: Horrible

I haven't played my computer nor chatted, nor checked Facebook in ten days, and it is killing me. Anyways, after checking I found out Melody was not mad at anyone, it was just my paranoid mind about her. Anyways, SPIMUN was a really fun experience and I was surprisingly proud of myself, because I had the courage to finally stand out and debate. As well as, merge my resolution into a main submitted one that, yes, passed with a great majority. I felt bad for France, because her country forced her to debate against everyone. The main reason was that France was a country that liked to deport Gypsies or otherwise known as the Roma people she had no choice but to find herself only to be pounded down by harsh comments. Most of the fun, during the conference, though, was looking at the beautiful SG (Secretary General) and her name was beautiful too. It was Liza Keshkova and she was only sixteen. Compared to the girls I have seen here, she looked 21 with the nicest body ever, I'm going a little bit too far. So, the two days in Moscow was fun, Derek and I constantly tried to find ways to retrieve the reward number contained in my father's Marriott and Hilton platinum card. In the end, we both gave up after the "help" chat did not seem to find anything we gave him useful. Another funny thing was that on the way to Moscow, we played Chinese chess on the train, Derek versus Mr.Lex. Unfortunately, I barely had time to play, because their game lasted around three and a half hours. Alright, I must get on with my homework, since I just found out Tony did not do the Animal Farm Quiz. Goodnight!

Vacation for five days.

I guess my SPIMUN trip would be fun whether or not it would be a conference the whole time. The BEIMUN kids, who had no days of no-conferences experienced a great time, and imagine SPIMUN where there are two extra days of Moscow for fun! I think I would even enjoy times at the airport because Derek,Ben, and I can discuss various topics. Also, I saw many photos the BEIMUN kids have taken on their airplanes, it seemed like they also had a crazy party on airplanes, I was glad it did not crash. Anyways, I am packing up right now, but I must tell my journal about some great conversations I had with Melody. Melody said I looked much better now, than two years before, and said if I was back in the US she would take me to homecoming! Or she would at least accept my offer! I am so nervous right now, but I guess being nervous can help you do excellent performances during the event you are nervous about. Well, I must start cleaning my camera, gear up, and pack up. The Motherland here I come! See you!

Who's your Daddy?

Tomorrow is St.Patrick's Spirit Day, I am going to finally participate in this event because someone forced it upon me. Such an evil girl, that Amanda, but something even funnier came up today. Today I asked Percy toothpaste, and he answered me "who's your daddy". Everyone in P.E. laughed because it was so random, honestly, I do not even now what is going on in his mind. I also finally received my seventh nuke today in Modern Warfare 2, and everyone was like "WOOT" on chat. I felt so proud and happy, because I annoyed the other players by ending there game only twelve minutes into the game. Another thing is that I am worried about those people who volunteered to help distinguish the nuclear plant or evacuate the people there, I hope that they do not get radioactive poisoning or other sorts of radioactive activity going on in their bodies. I liked the sad ending of "Saving Private Ryan" because it was very realistic and it was touching. But Tiffany Chiang in class today was a pain in the butt. About three-fourth of the way into the movie, she screamed in this high-pitch (unmatched for her) and caused everyone to go like "Shut Up". Jean even told her to stop doing because it was just plain annoying. For me, I just had have enough, I turned around and screamed in her face, "If you cannot respect or watch the movie, and cause annoyance in the class, get the HELL out of this classroom!" She has been pushing my buttons ever since she appeared in this school and I had just had enough! Also, I screamed in curse words in P.E. today at a few classmates that was laughing at Ben, and trust me, it felt good. But I guess it was just the rage I have every two weeks. Oh, and I meant I shouted like a Captain in the army, battling his voice against the mortar sounds and spitting all over the place. All these rages I have been having lately is because I just can't withstand the differences here in Taiwan, I am just not used to it. It is like putting a husky from Alaska or Canada with big fur, and send it to Ecuador. Alright, I have other things to work on now, good night!

Tired.

Way too much stuffs going on today, it irritated me unreasonably because, I had a brochure to finish, math to do, math tutor, holt reader to finish, read a few chapters, and write an essay. But something that did sooth me today is a good Modern Warfare party with Derek, Ben, and I. Ben did exceptionally well, with each game gaining a kill/death ratio of at least up to seven. I almost got a nuke killstreak, which is getting 25 kills without dying, but when I was about to activate the nuke, Ben stopped the game by killing the game winning kill. I cursed quietly to myself, but I patted Ben on the back, because the kill was just WAY too "tight". Derek, did a decent job, almost great in all games, but he said he was just "warming up" ;the funny thing is he warmed up for seven games? Anyways, I got to go to take a nice warm shower. So goodnight, and chao.

SPIMUN resolution FINISHED!

I have finally complete my SPIMUN resolution, the funny thing is that I still haven't completed my opening speech, because to me that seems somehow quite more challenging speech. Although I don't know why, I kind of don't feel comfortable writing it. I am now having a math tutor from Monday to Thursday specially assigned this week so I can rush ahead of Ms.May so I would understand what I would be tested on during Midterm week. I hope she wouldn't be too evil and let the test to be extraordinarily difficult like that last one I had. I find it ridiculous that sometimes, some questions on her test, she never even taught before, that is why all the students basically failed the last test. I just also found out that the hotel I am living in Saint Petersburg and Moscow is a five or six star hotel, I cannot quite tell, but I know it is very nicely designed and comfortable. From my trip, I seriously owe Amanda a small gift from Russia because she asked me to buy her something, but that is just a friend request. Anyways, I helped Melody solve some stressful problems, and I felt very heart touched when she said "THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING!!!" especially since I have liked her for almost three years straight.

Country Bumpkin.

I used to live in a city that was named Cerritos, but called Dairy Valley, and famous for farming back in the 1950s. I lived there all my life, I knew everyone around, and sometimes, I got visit some remaining farms that have not been taken over by industrialization. Through this, I got some very fresh fruits all season, including strawberries and such. Maybe the stereotype may say Bumpkins are not sophisticated, I think that Country Bumpkins can be ones that live in their environment for a long time. As for thinking of a country, I see a sun rising in the distant hills, shining onto the great red farms and barns, then the cocks cock, and farmers begin to collect their wheats, or whatever. Since the city I used to live in, was just like that, I suppose a stereotypical "Country Bumpkin" is hardly ever found, because most of the people living in Cerritos now are just normal people, kids, high schoolers, even there are malls around. One thing that I really associate with in Cerritos is my Solar Powered Library. It is the only fully solar powered and recycling library in the whole world, and I just feel real good sitting in it. Another thing was cars, I used to secretly drive cars around, but that was just for a while, I would drive it all the way down to San Diego or something. Anyways, the important thing is that, you can associate in anything now to be a country Bumpkin, one thing you have to do is to respect the place you live in or lived there for a long time and still like it. As for me, living in Taiwan, or more specifically, Taipei, I think I'll never be a country Bumpkin for this place as long as I live.
Stereotypical List:
Cerritos (past) Country:
-Plains
-Hills
-Green, Brown, and Red
-Fruits
-Smiling farmers
-barns and straws
-horses
-1950s
-happy kids.
-Fresh Air
-smoking
Cerritos (now) City:
-Two story blocks of normal American houses, each with a small garden in front.
-Cars
-Schools
-Cerritos Park East : (CPE)
-Swimming Pools
-Hospital
-"Welcome to Cerritos" sign
-Fresh Air (so you can actually breath)
-no one smoking
-Happy students
-Tennis, Basketball, and various sport courts

BFBC2: Battlefield - Bad Company 2

Wow, I cannot believe that I am back to a decent Battlefield player, I received over 3000 points in each game. Anyways, I shall describe my game very briefly. Basically it was conquest in Arica Harbor where Russian Forces battle US forces in a First Person Shooter to battle over three points on a beach, A, B, and point C. This game, unlike Modern Warefare 2, needs teamwork and if one is bad, the whole team gets dragged down. I kept my team going, and my score too, by being a medic, where I received many points from reviving people with my defibrillator and a health kit which heals players. Also from the massive kills I have gotten from "young players" and helping to point out objectives, I received many points. Five minutes into the game, other players had only 50 points where I had specifically 395 points, because I just kept healing them and reviving them. Ben received a crazy score of 48-2 in Modern Warfare 2 and many people praised him over it. Anyways, I am heading to Russia next Friday, so I must get going with my resolution, goodnight!

Complete Hackers

Alright, sure, kill me with one bullet in the head with every shot for thirty-six times, besides you'll get kicked out of the game pretty soon. These thoughts went through my head as I was being killed constantly by a player in Modern Warfare two that killed me every time in the head. When I looked at his "killcams", it was clearly obvious that he/she was hacking because the player was just shooting the bullets into the bloody sky! Anyways, half way into the game, the player was kicked for disobeying the Modern Warfare 2 server contract. That really helped, because from then on my pistol killing spree quickly came. The next game I got a kill, death ratio of 4.00 which means every death I have I have four kills. I ended up with 36-4 which was crazy, because I was only using a pistol. Anyways, I think I should leave my mom's room now, for she must watch her weird fake looking drama.

Ridiculous

How ridiculous, this is preposterous, a break on Thursday but not Friday? Doesn't the school ever have a thought for the convenience for students that live in Taipei? Honestly this is making half of the students enraged and making their parents or their lives very tiring, especially for those who sit on the bus themselves. Today, my mom cooked a nice good ol' Chinese heart-warming chicken soup and I didn't get to taste them because we had dinner in another restaurant. Anyways, I received a totally horrible grade on my English quiz, especially the "metaphor" part completely smashed me, I ended up with seven incorrect answers and it pissed me off. In history class, I felt really bored, because I know everything about WWII especially because I grew up reading books of it and watching documentaries of it. Bye I must get on watching Saving Private Ryan.

SPIMUN

SPIMUN is in a ten days and I don't even have my resolution half done. I guess that I really need to start working hard, but something is really ticking me off that is keeping me from doing it. My mom now enforced tutor for math every day of the week now and I don't have time to complete anything. Anyways, I'm just excited about the food, because one of my grammar tutors told me that the food their is exceptionally well cooked and delicious. Though a negative side, is that I heard that the locals have xenophobia especially to teens and children.
Today, I was happily told that I don't have to go to school on Thursday to suffer orchestra and the boring musical which I find very boring and not entertaining. Though starting from June I will have to go to Jiao University for full days to practice for the musical, this means I won't have to suffer Ms.May's class for that whole month. That means for the last month of school Ms.May will be out of my sight, and if she tells me that orchestra was an extra curriculum class and was responsible for all the homework, I would just say that it is a class that shows up on my report card. Honestly, it is a class, even Ms.Ivy said it herself.

Minecraft Part 01: House Discussion

So, on Friday, I decided to erase all my old worlds, because I thought that my house was one room too big and enormous and needed to be more complex. Therefore, I brought up the idea of building indoor trees and outdoor gardens on many high floors of my house. Therefore, it takes a while for a stranger to walk around my house because it is just so twisted and small. The last room I built was out of red and yellow wool, therefore, the room is very bright and colorful. It stands out of the cobblestone and wood structure elsewhere in the house, and I would think it is my favorite room. On about the fourth floor into my house, I built a tree garden with seats around it for me to sit on and watch the beautiful sea view. I also think that I need to add more greens and small complex rooms into my house to make it look more modern and futuristic rather than a boxy big room with paintings all over it (my old idea). Anyways, this is the latest update I have for Minecraft, and I have two pet squids. Goodnight, chao!

Spimun,Stalin, Saudi Arabia, and Animal Farm.

I find Gadhafi a very delusional person, honestly, I agree with the US that he is delusional. Seriously, you blame Osama and the al-Qaeda for the protests, when you, Gadhafi, don't even know if Osama is alive or not? Anyways, SPIMUN is coming really fast like a high-speed rail train, and it seems like I only have 15 days or so to prepare my research. I harms me deeply that I am focusing on a topic where no passed resolutions are to be found from the the United Nations ECOSOC council. Also, today's test in English was just terribly hard, I cannot describe what it feels like how it feels to not know some of the questions. What nationality was George Orwell, I thought he was Spanish, yet I knew he was not, because in the preface it mentioned that he "went" over to Spain to fight. Therefore, I think he was either English or American, because his English and his book was just so influential. From many documentaries I have watched, I think that Stalin is a very cruel human being that have executed way too many people. His regime was just horrific, seriously, Stalin killed 26 Million people and 17 million was normal citizens that just slightly did not like his rule. As cruel as I find secret polices are, there is an even more disturbing fact that he would kill the top leaders of the secret polices once in a while, because Stalin thought that they would soon grow too much power and might over through himself. Anyways, I think I would keep the book Animal Farm for a really long time, just to show my next generation of kids and the ones after the meaning of this great book and it's good literature of satire. Another thing, the Libya protest is decreasing the economic growth of Saudi Arabia. CNN's business how announced that Saudi Arabia dropped more than 10% today which is a lot, I suppose. Because that means that it just lost 10% of it's normal incomes. That means 10% of Saudi Arabia that depended on the government's money just lost it.

The Three Musketeers

As my Algebra 2 book deepens, the harder it is for students to plant it into their head. Well, today I finally got into Chapter 10, a chapter discussing the basics of Conic Sections. There are topics such as how to graph a circle, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. The difficult part is memorizing the difference in each equation that separates each of these graphs. Anyways, I had a pretty fun time playing Modern Warfare 2 with Derek and with Ben. In each game we were at least the top three dominating different types of games, such as Domination and TDM (Team Death Match), Ben of course was the best using Intervention (sniper) and quick-scoping everyone and earned a good kill/death ratio. Ben received an AC-130 (gunship that kills everyone) and killed a crazy amount of people. He ended up killing people with snipers that had machine guns.

Modern Warefare 3

Ok. So I have heard that Modern Warfare 3 is coming out this November, where the announcement countdown is already shown at "findmakorov.com". They will announce what the game is about 1 day and three hours, everyone is excited about it. Many game bloggers such as IGN, posted that the game will be about the journey of "Ghost" an English Special Force soldier who was apparently shot, burned, and killed in Modern Warfare 2. The worst part is that he was the nicest friend to you in MW2 and you just see him get killed right beside you. It saddens me because from IW's (maker of Modern Warfare series in Call of Duty) said that Ghost apparently never had an exciting and fun life. He was born to a poor family who sent him to the military and was seen in Modern Warfare: Ghost, as in the team of special forces with ski masks that are in skulls. Ghost and his team was captured later by a force of Mexican cartels and forced into all kinds of torture. They tried to brainwash them and later he was buried alive, where as their friends were successfully brainwashed or killed. Using the dead bodies around him, he used their jaws to dig out of the ground in 13 hours. He was later caught by his brainwashed friends, but Ghost successfully escapes his friends. Ghost was next seen in the actual game Modern Warfare 2 story, where he joins the Task Force 141 to search Russian and Cuban terrorists. Towards the end of the game, Ghost was killed by General Shepherd of the United States army, and so were the player you were being "Roach". This betrayal led to the battles between the Task Force 141, United States, and Russia. See how sad Ghost's life was?
