Cockroach Killing 101

  Today, I made a huge milestone of my life, I officially killed a cockroach. Growing up in a city, living on a muti story building, I don't tend to see cockroaches as often as others would, and today, when that monster crawled all over the bathroom floor while I was enjoying some of my private time on the toilet, I flipped out. I took the bathroom slipper, slammed it as hard as I can, but I missed.... My disappointment dissapeaered when it reappeared after hiding behind a shampoo bottle, and without much thought, I threw the slipper at it, crippling half of its body. At that moment, I knew I had won, I had conquered the battle between me and my fear of cockroaches, I have done it, I killed a cockroach. As courageous as this all sounds, I was actually screaming like a girl the entire time, so much that my mom thought I had slipped and injured myself in the bathroom. But whatever, I have destroyed my first of many, I came, I saw, AND I CONQUERED.~~~~~

Tea

   Best thing about living in Asia? Teaaaaaaaaaa. People our age don't appreciate tea, well not alot atleast. I just think tea is the only solution to sugar free drinks. I mean okay think about it, you have things like coke zero, all chemicals, no good, then you got tea, a healthy alternative thats not as boring as water, but still can give you a nice flavor. Tea goes great with everything, from drinking it in the morning, to lunch time with your food, and then a nice afternoon tea can satisfy your thirst while you chat with some friends, and then more tea at dinner, and of course, at last, tea before you sleep. Awesome if you ask me. What I don't like is the more western style tea. All the things like "pepermint jasmine green tea"... What the hell is that if you ask me. I am too Asian haha.

Lifting

  What is the primary goal in life of all males? To be the strongest, most dominate person in the community. I think that originally was the intent of all males, to dominate, and reproduce, but it intrigues me how people still workout and stay fit when they don't really need all the muscles they actually have in society today. It is actually quite interesting that females are still attracted to the large muscles, could it be a genetic thing? I dont know,  but I bet somewhere deep down, they are still programmed to chase after the fittest. I don't really believe that whole big muscle thing, but I just want to be fit, and maybe gain some muscles on the way hah. But my primary goal, is to look good in a v-neck. Pathetic, I know.

Smartphones

  To be honest, everyone with a smart phone is getting spoiled by its convenience. I recently read a story about how the level of technology doubles every 18 months and that as impressive as that sounds, I was actually surprised that it takes that long to double. Five years ago, finding the directions to the restaurant you are heading for dinner, would require a map. Now all it takes is a cellphone, some internet, and you can even find things like reviews for the restaurant online. I wonder where this will take us to be honest, now everyone will be so reliant on their phones and laptops that it can literally drive a person crazy without those access. I think it would be awesome if everyone can just have a day where they don't use any of this stuff, I really wonder how that will turn out. Speaking of which, after getting the iphone 6 months ago, I realized I have been doing the exact same thing in terms of relying all on my phone. But it sure is great.

Summer Days

  It really sucks being given such a long break, especially for me, because I am a rising senior and there are way too many things for me to do the next half year. I think, the way I know myself, I tend to push things to the last minute and unless I have some motivational force driving me, it is impossible for me to do anything remotely productive. Throughout summer all I have done are a few college essay drafts, some SAT practices and that is about it. I have been slacking way too much on this blog thing and the response thing, I just hope I will be able to survive in this course next year. I am to be honest quite looking forward to my last year of highschool because after that, it will be the beginning of the rest of my life. I haven't actually gone into too much about planning my life and stuff, but I have a general outline of the direction I am heading towards, and of course, a bucket list to be accomplished.

Hsinchu Blog 1

   Taiwan's weather is starting to get on my nerves. The humidity every day when you walk out is like walking into a bathroom after someone has just came out from a hot shower. I have been living here, here in this portion of Asia nearly all my life and I still hate the humidity. I don't get how can someone stand coming to Taiwan and able to say oh Taiwanese weather is great! Get real, it rains most of the time, the sky is always grey and its hot all the time. Also, I don't understand how an area can be so boring when there's a large population living in this city. Hsinchu has got to be the most boring place I have ever stayed in, there is literally nothing to do, and if you don't have any "independent" means of transportation, don't even think about having a tiny bit of fun. But don't get me wrong I still love Taiwan
