Yesss, the Chinese typing on the iPod Touch works! Haha, not sure why I was doubtful that it'd work though. Hopefully you can see the Chinese characters and not some weird boxes.
I guess every week I'll try to type up a blog entry completely in Chinese with as much of the vocabulary I've learned in class as possible. That way I can put my Chinese to use and brush up on it. I wonder if I have enough of a vocabulary though. -.- The bit of Chinese I posted above is so basic.
"Ni hao. Zen me yang?" "Hello. How are you?"
My sentences in Chinese would probably be like:
Hi. Today was okay. I got up and went to school. It was boring. I ate food for lunch. I did homework during class. Then I went home. Good bye.
Hmm...not good. Not good.

Oh gawsh, someone from my elementary added me on facebook today. We haven't seen each other since 1St GRADE, which was years ago. This makes me wonder why he even bothered adding me? I mean, we were pretty good friends back then, but does he really care about how I'm doing now? We were only 6 at the time. Now we're both 15.
I guess I'm glad he added me though...nostalgia.
I remember I had a papercut once. He saw me bleeding and called the teacher for help. Then another time his friend was walking around with his backpack unzipped, and I asked why. He said, "It's cuz he hopes a bird will steal his homework so he won't have to do it." I remember laughing really hard at that.
I feel like I should write something on his wall, but I haven't yet. I just can't think of what to say, and I don't want an awkward chat. "Damn, NINE years." I should totally say that. -.-
I don't want to not say anything though. That just feels wrong.
Why does his facebook add seem so significant and insignificant at the same time?
It doesn't help that the last time someone from elementary added me, he ignored what I wrote on his wall. I wrote something like, "Wow, it's been a long time." (That was a stupid thing to say.) I'm not sure how I would respond if someone wrote that on my wall, but I'd at least say, "Yeah it has, haha" back if I couldn't think of anything else.
I love the 500 Days of Summer soundtrack. It was the first movie I've ever watched where the music playing really caught my attention. A lot of movies have good songs on the soundtrack, but not good enough for me to think, "I need these songs on my iPod." I'm lazy of course, so I didn't get around to relistening to the songs/adding them to my iPod till yesterday. My favorites from the soundtrack (I already spammed tumblr with these videos, haha):
So amazingly beautiful <3
One of those songs you wish was longer, haha.
Just makes me feel happier. I can remember what scene this song was playing in, haha.
I never really understood why girls at school are so obsessed with pop(?) songs sung by Asian boy bands who sing in a language most those girls can't understand. I still don't really understand (cuz the guys are cute?...the songs are catchy?...based on the translation it has meaning?), but I can now understand why people would like a song that's in a language they can't understand. This song's so beautiful. I think it being sung in French makes it more beautiful, and it feels like the song's open to interpretation. It's whatever you think it is based on how it makes you feel.
Last song I'll be posting! I have to limit myself somewhere, haha. I can remember when this song played in the movie too...expectations vs. reality. The song really fits that scene. *** Hmm...I think I may have to edit my 500 Days of Summer review. I feel like I didn't fully get the impact of the movie. For example, someone who has experienced a situation similar to Tom in the movie would definitely appreciate and like the movie more than me. Basically anyone who is/has been in love or has been heartbroken would appreciate the movie more than me, so I guess that's why the movie wasn't that spectacular for me....because I just don't fully get it. The movie was good, but it wasn't to that other level for me. Anyways, I hope you listen to the soundtrack and enjoy it!
That's my WS for this week. :D My inspiration for it came from: Lol Jk Hammy and Jojo were planning to come to my school since their high schools were letting them out early, but nooooo, Mother Nature had some other ideas. She decided to pepper us all to death with her tears. Oh well...we all need a good cry now and then, and Mother Nature has been through a lot of abuse. :( I wanted to see both of them though! Some other time. :\ *** I got to spend some quality time with Keyew today, haha. We didn't have to go to math class, so we basically had almost a whole hour of free time. We went to the cafeteria and just talked while doing work. Ahhh, it was such a good talk. Man, I definitely need more conversations like that. Later she taught be how to play poker...which I still don't really get. Why am I so bad at card games?! -.- I'm decent at Slap Jack and Speed though, haha. *** Lately I've been really wanting to chop off my hair. I guess I want change. I do love my long hair though, even though most the time it looks like a mess. Aha. -.- via I'm probably waiting till summer to cut my hair. It's the safest time to get a semi-drastic hair cut, right? Plus I'm hoping I'll have grown a couple more inches of hair by then since I'll be donating it. Ahhhh, it worries me when I think about donating my hair. I feel like my hair will be rejected. Hopefully it won't! I just need to make sure my hair meets all the donation requirements. If they reject my hair because it's too ugly, well then that's another story. D: If my hair doesn't get accepted, I'll feel like such a loserrr!
It's my mom's birthday today. :D I'm not quite sure how we're celebrating it, but the "official" celebration will be on the weekend...according to my dad. It's also my friend's birthday, haha. My sister and I made a card for my mom with inspiration from this: image via Seriously, how frick'n cute is that card?! Of course our card didn't come out as nice, but it's still made with love. Hmm...the universal excuse for unskilled folk like me, ha. I kinda like how our card looks though because it's not perfect. Plus since my little sister also helped to make it, it has that cute little kid charm to it! Instead of a kitty-cat, we had a pop-up of my little sis giving a present to our mom. I might take a picture of the card, but honestly, I'm feeling too lazy to upload any pictures of my own. ANYWAYS, HAPPYBIRTHDAY, MOM!
Except that Ai told me who he likes, haha. I suspected it was her, but before he had told me that he didn't like herwhen I had asked. He's such a convincing liar. That butthole!
After school I saw Keyew with some of her friends. I went to go say hi and offered her a ride since EVERY school day she has to take an hour and a half commute from school to her house. She said no because her house was too far away. I expected her to say that. I know her so well. ;) So then I offered that my dad could just drop her off at the bus stop which would still save her some time, but she was still hesitating. Then Keyew's friend, who's her bus buddy, ditched her and went without her to the bus stop. -.- I hate friends who ditch without a single word. At least have the decency to say bye?! So yeah, I made Keyew get a ride from me to the bus stop so she could beat her ditching friend there. KARMA. If her friend had stuck around, I would have also offered her a ride. But no, ditchers don't get such privileges.
When I got home I took a nap. Naps are the best, haha. <3
I dreamed that my family and I went on vacation. At the hotel we booked, we got the President's Suite...it was an oval shaped room with a cushioned seating area all along the wall.
Then I went to my neighbor's house where Stilts and Gecko were. We hung out, then I opened the front door and saw that it was SNOWING. A light, velvety layer of snow had already covered everything. I was like, "OMGGGG!!!" and ran outside. Then Stilts was like, "Nooo! Don't go outside! There's random pieces of ice falling from the sky that will stab you!" So then I rushed back inside and looked for a camera.
I found it, but then my neighbor grabbed it before I could and said, "Take a picture for your music video!" I thought he was going to take a picture of me, but he took one of himself. Then he showed it to me and said, "Use this for your music video!" I was thinking to myself, 'What music video?'
There's a ton of camera pictures on weheartit. Click here to view all the images tagged with 'camera'. I want them all (the cameras, not the images)! :( Anyone care to buy me one? Haha. image via Well yesterday I discovered that my little sister has somehow learned the word PWNED. She can use it correctly too. "That guy just got PWNED!" Yeeeepppp, I'm very proud of her. Now that I think about it, I haven't heard anyone say 'PWNED' in a very long time. Hmmm...*suspicious* Not only was yesterday the day that my sister unleashed her new vocab word, it was also the day of my her school's Chinese New Year event. I didn't really want to go to the event, but it ended up being pretty fun. Plus there was good food. :mrgreen: My sister and her Chinese class performed 3 times last night. It was really cute. One of the performances was a lion dance. The boys in the class were in the lion costumes, and they kept bumping into the girls. The girls were all like, "Ahh!" and the boys were all like, "Oops, whatever." There was also a raffle, and my sister won a prize. :D She got a $5 giftcard to Starbucks! Not bad. The grand prize was tickets for good seats at a basketball game. It didn't really seem like anyone wanted the tickets though. The winner, a little boy, seemed happier to have won something than to have won basketball tickets. In my opinion, the best prizes were the baskets filled with food and candy. :P The vice prinicipal of the school won three raffle ticket prizes. What the hell? I think that's pretty messed up. First off, how is she even allowed to be in the raffle since she has such a "high" role in the school. It's like the president winning the lottery. Second off, where's her conscience? She's stealing prizes away from little 5-6 year old kids. Third off, she's not even Chinese. She's white. Of course I'm just kidding about that last point.
CONGRATS TO HAMTARO FOR MAKING THE SOFTBALL TEAM.^-^ --------- FRIDAY! The most anticipated day of the week. :) Awhile ago, someone (Ninja Sis's sister's friend) ordered two pieces of jewelry for me from this website: 2 Dollar Jewelry I ordered this bracelet, and this ring. THE JEWELRY CAME, AND I GOT BOTH OF THEM TODAY. :mrgreen: The bracelet's so pretty and shiny, haha. When I was wearing it during school, I kept staring at it. Being easily distracted for the win? The ring's...well... ...it's basically for people with CHUBBY ASS FINGERS. Seriously, who has fingers that large? It doesn't even stay on my thumb. Well I knew that the ring would probably be too big when I was deciding if I should get it or not, so I can't complain. Ninja Sis had the idea that I could put the ring on a necklace string. I'll probably do that. *** Okay, so some posts back I mentioned that my family will be getting new phones soon (ish). I was thinking of sticking with my phone (my dad's old bb), but I think the bb's time is almost up. D: It's had a pretty long run though! My phone and I have been having some issues lately...such as ACCIDENTAL DIALING. GAH! Even when I turn my phone OFF, it somehow manages to call people. It often accidentally dials my mom which leaves her angry. -.- Even if I don't have people on speed dial, my bb still manages to call them. I also can't upload pictures from my phone. :( I wonder if this is my phone's problem, the computer's problem, or the usb cord's problem. Man, I want to get more jewelry from that website, haha. SO, how have you been? Of course I expect no reply...but if you do respond, you get a cookie! ;)
Well I was going to type up a cheesy entry...but 3/4 into typing it up, I decided that I didn't like it. So I deleted it all. Good bye wordy entry. Hello mini entry.
ASDFGHJKL, I haven't posted up a 'weekly secret' in forever! Here's one I made awhile back. I feel kind of weird posting it since I made it so long ago, but I really want to keep up with my 'weekly secrets' idea. I must stick with it, haha. *** Lunch was fun today- Ai's so sweet, haha. He said that he would learn Korean just for the girl that he likes (since she's very much into Korean things). I think I know who this girl is... Besides talking about Ai's crush, we also played with a roly poly my friend found. Okay, I didn't actually play with it since roly polys creep me out, but I watched others play with it. Ai was totally abusing it. -.- The roly poly fell on it's back, and he just kept jabbing it with a leaf. We're watching the movie Troy in English class. With Brad Pitt acting for the role of Achilles. How dreamy, haha. So far, I think I'm liking Achilles' character. Orlando Bloom is also in the movie. He plays Paris. I must admit that he's rather good looking, ha. Paris' character is okay I guess...he's impulsive and doesn't think things out, but he's sweet. "If you come, we'll never be safe. Men will hunt us, the gods will curse us. But I'll love you. Until the day they burn my body, I will love you." -Paris <3 I can't wait till our class starts reading the Odyssey! I love reading Greek myths, so I'm sure the Odyssey will be amazing. :) After school I went to photography club with Ninja Sis. The girl who came to the club last time was there. The first time I met her, she came off as snobby stuck-up...although she still seems a little snobby, I think she's okay now that I've met her for a second time. She seems like a decent person who just doesn't realize how she's coming off. She was pretty friendly towards me. She showed me a picture she took of a girl playing soccer, and it was pretty awesome. So yeah...even though she was really critical towards the photography club/the members, my opinion of her has definitely become more positive. Note to self: Give people a chance. :] *** "I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid of tomorrow. I'm afraid of watching you sail away and knowing that you'll never come back." -Helen from the movie Troy
During gym today, we had to play volleyball. Is it bad that I aimed the volleyball at this clumsy guy so that I could score my team some points? -.- In all fairness, the other team was cheating! They were also freakishly competitive. image via This one girl in particular. She kept ordering people around on her team. "Stand there", "Move to the left", "GET THE BALL!!!". She also tried any tactic she could to make my team lose points. "That point didn't count! I wasn't ready when you served the ball!", "That serve doesn't count because you didn't call out the score first." The best part? She's not that good at volleyball yet has the nerve to boss people around like she's some volleyball master. Every time the volleyball came her way, she would either flee from it or manage to hit it backwards. Then she would blame it on a teammate. "I thought you were going to get the ball so I hesitated." GRRR...Nothing interesting (that I can remember) happened today. I did see a guy who looked like Mayonaise. If you're reading this Hamtaro, I'm sure you know who I'm talking about. I felt like LOLing after I passed him in the hallway for some weird, unexplainable reason. After school I walked home to be greeted by FRIED RICE. My grandparents had boughten fried rice, and my grandpa heated some up for me to eat as an after school snack. My belly is full and I am content. :D image via I take back what I said about Ai not being able to be serious, haha. He has his moments. I'm this close to figuring out who he likes! I know (well, highly suspect) that she's in my gym class, and I've narrowed it down to TWO people. He won't tell me who this (lucky?;)) girl is. He says he doesn't trust me! He won't tell me who he likes until I tell him who I like...but I honestly don't like anyone at the moment.
