Some Good News

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Hiya everyone,

Well, spring break is over (it ended a week ago actually). I didn’t do anything productive to be honest. I mean, sure I did some stuff but nothing worth mentioning. But, really, that’s not the good news (from the entry’s title).

What is the good news? One of the good news is, I saw The Forbidden Kingdom! I watched it after work, with my sisters (I paid for them), on April 19th. Ah, I love it. It was great. It had action, humor, and Jackie Chan AND Jet Li. What more could you want? I know I definitely enjoyed it. If you haven’t seen it, I suggest watching it.

The other good news: as you might but probably do not know, I currently go to a community college (I started after I graduated from High School, year 2006). For two years, I’ve been working on transferring to a university. I had applied to: UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, UC Riverside, and UC Los Angeles. The first three were mainly back ups because I really wanted to get into UCLA. Well, I got accepted to the first three (I know, I was shocked too). I have been waiting and waiting for something from UCLA. Then, finally, I got something from them – I got accepted! I was so shocked and happy. So, this fall 2008, I will be attending UCLA.

Now this I do not know whether to categorize as good news, but I have been taught/lectured by my dad on driving. I got my driver’s license last August 2007. But, since then haven’t been driving because I didn’t have car insurance. However, I do now. So my dad is re-teaching me. And boy, I have a lot to learn. I am really bad apparently. I suck at changing lanes, making turns, making slow stops, and pressing on the gas pedal slowly. So, basically, that’s almost everything of driving. However, I do think I am slowly improving.

Well, that’s it for now. My last semester at the community college ends in June, so can’t wait for that.

Finally, Spring Break!

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Hiya everyone,

It sure has been a while. Sorry for not being as active as before. I’ve been busy and lazy. But, finally, it is my spring break! Luckily, for me, my spring break actually started today. My professor canceled class today for her own vacation. And, I don’t have any classes on Friday. So, that means 10 days of no school. But, unfortunately, I do have homework to do.

For my chemistry class, we have a separate lab. For one of our labs, we went on a long hike for about 2-3 hours on a rocky canyon. I was so scared because we had to go down on a huge downward slope. I fell on my butt. Luckily, I wasn’t the only one. Anyways, we went on the hike to collect materials to make color dyes. I thought that was pretty cool. Another lab we did was changing a penny to “gold.” That was fun.

One day, my chemistry professor was lecturing about recycling and how we can “refuse, reduce, recycle, reuse, and recover.” She randomly asked students “How many pairs of shoes do you own?” (Any type of shoes whether it’s for sports, work, and so on). The students answered “10″, “20″, some said “40 or more.” I was totally shocked because I only own two pairs: one for everyday and the other for work. I never really thought anyone would own so many pairs of shoes.

Enough about school, I’ve been pretty busy because of Super Smash Brothers Brawl! We got the game when it came out. I was so excited. But, I was pretty sad that Roy (from the Melee) wasn’t going to be in Brawl. However, I do love Pit. He’s one of my favorite. I also like Zero Suit Samus. It took me and my sisters forever to figure out how to play Zero Suit Samus on the Brawl (multi-player) without using the Final Smash.

Yay, time for some fangirling: w-inds.’ new PV came out (some days ago), Ame ato. I find the PV okay, not the best mainly because of the lack of Ryohei and Ryuichi. But, I love the song. I can’t wait for their single release.

I am really excited to see The Forbidden Kingdom, starring Jackie Chan and Jet Li. I really want to watch it. I am a big fan of Jackie Chan as well as Jet Li. I always wanted a movie of them together. It comes out next Friday. Ah, I really hope I can watch it.

Lastly, for some shameless advertising: If you’re a fan of Japanese Dramas, please join my fanlisting for it at Addiction!
