Gobble gobble (munch munch).
The rise of the carnivores, muahahaha.
I hate my face, by the way.
Don't you hate it when you come by this song on the radio that you really like and then try remembering the lyrics to search it up later but by the time you have the chance to search it up you already forgot the tune and the lyrics? Sigh..
Anyway, here is a list of things that I am thankful for.
1. An all-loving, gracious Father in Heaven
2. Shelter, food (Starubcks! .___.), water
3. A safe town to live in.
4. FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. Things like music and photography whenever I need them.
6. KIRBY!!!!!
7. Internet and other technological stuff, haha.
Oooh here is my... BIOLOGY HOMEWORK?! Haha.. I guess Mrs. Chow is just unique xP
Hi! I am a 16 year old junior (at Monta Vista) who takes Black and White Photography and Japanese 1 as electives. I am of Taiwanese descent, and a conservative Christian. I was born in a very small town in Ohio named Ashtabula, very close to the shores of Lake Erie. My family literally was the only Asian family in that area, but because of my childishness, I felt comfortable living that way. We had these very kind neighbors who we will never forget, and they treated me as their own grandchild. We lived there for five years (since I was born), and because of my father’s business reasons, we moved to the Bay Area in 1998. Since we moved here, we have changed residences three times already. For kindergarten I attended a private school that no one has probably ever heard of before, and then attended Lincoln, Kennedy, and then Monta Vista.
I have a sister named Kimberly who is a freshman at Monta Vista. We are very different from each other; she is very outgoing and social, while I am rather shy and only talk to people comfortably if I know them well. Our family has four people – my father, mother, my sister, and me. My father’s occupations always had to do with complex computer programs, while my mom deals with simpler ones. The rest of my family is mostly in Taiwan, though I do have three cousins, an aunt, and uncle that live close by in San Jose. I also have a cousin attending a boarding school in Virginia, and two uncles in New Zealand. My grandfather on my mother’s side passed away about 15 years before I was born, and my grandfather on my father’s side passed away this August (so I have no grandfathers anymore! ). My parents really wanted my Chinese to be very good, so from second to seventh grade, I attended Chinese school everyday after school for two hours. All the money and effort paid off, as my Chinese is above average compared to other American-born Chinese. My parents are very strict in terms of education and discipline, and my family is a very typical kind of Chinese family in America.
Some of the things I like to do are photography, listening to and playing music, and biking. I don’t know what sparked my interest in photography, but I spend a lot of time looking through camera catalogues (especially for Black Friday coming up) and looking at pictures from professional photographers. Music is a big part of my life, and as cheesy as it may sound, it changed this one aspect of my life (which I don’t want to talk about here or else it will take up a lot of space…). I generally listen to rock, piano rock, light rock, acoustic, and soft piano music. I have been to three concerts in my life – Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, and The Fray. I played violin for three years and piano for two (however, my piano teacher rushed me because I was an ‘older beginner’). I also recently learned how to play the guitar, so I know a little bit of how to play all three instruments. My mother struggled to find a perfect sport for me throughout my life; for three years I played soccer in elementary school, one and a half years of ice skating, half a year doing gymnastics, and half a year playing tennis. Tennis was my last sport, as my mother realized that I did not put the heart to play any sports, so I am not really a sports person. However, I have noticed that I quite enjoy running as there are no special equipment needed and anyone can do it. But I have replaced biking over running just for the sake of enjoying more scenery in less time as I exercise.
School is going somewhat okay for me. Freshman year was the best, as it was the first time I have ever received a 4.0 (). During sophomore year, my grades started plunging down… probably because my father gave me a laptop (but I am getting more and more detached from it!). Currently, my grades are really low or very borderline, so I am struggling to get them up to the grades I want them to be. Junior year is definitely very different that any other year of school I have experienced, because other than dealing with school classes, I also have to deal with SAT’s and start thinking about college (Ahh! ). It’s really frustrating for me because while all of my friends know what they want to major in, I am still undecided, as I know the things that I am interested in probably won’t lead a very bright future for me.
I can’t eat a lot of things, as I have this disorder where I cannot eat chocolate or tomatoes (even though I do, anyway). I am also lactose intolerant, and cannot eat foods with any kind of acidity (like oranges and grapefruits). I am scared of the dark, mirrors, and knives. My friend Megan and I (my partner in your class) along with other friends have been practicing the Chinese yoyo, hoping to possibly perform during Diversity week next year. I am very excited of my baptism taking place on the twentieth of December. My favorite holidays include Christmas and Chinese New Year’s. Bio is also one of the classes that I take much interest in and usually do well in, too. :D
Haha that last paragraph was just like a filler paragraph thing - -"
Currently listening to: Kris Allen - Live Like We're Dying :D
