HOHOHO! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

It doesn’t feel like Christmas. Christmas isn’t as exciting as it use to be anymore. I’m suppose to get excited and jump around because it’s Christmas! But today, I feel like it’s just another average day. This year, I didn’t get as many presents. I guess I’m too old to get Christmas presents. I thought I would get presents from my mom’s friends, but I guess they didn’t. I still need to hand out my presents to my friends. Here is the list of friends I would give presents to:

  • Alyson
  • Annie & Joanne
  • Qi-Wen
  • PB
  • Cynthia
  • Lisa
  • Mayu

Our family is just having a nice dinner. And then I might play outside in the snow again! It’s currently snowing outside again, and I’m excited to take more lovely pictures! Now, I could take pictures of the whole family and send it to my uncles and aunts from HK. I’m excited!

ILOVETHESNOW!

 

Journey: Day 5 – More Snow?! 12/22/2008

It has been snowing all week! And many things have been canceled because of this crazy weather! I personally love the snow no matter what, so I don’t care if anything is cancelled. As long as it is snowing, I would dance outside everyday. I mean, it’s pretty rare to get this much snow in our city, so I better cherish this moment. The YouthCAN party has been cancelled. And my first aid training has been cancelled. On facebook, a lot of people have been complaining  about snow messing up their plans and they need to shut up and play more! PLAY PLAY PLAY! Then come back in and drink a nice cup of hot chocolate, under the warm blankets, watching your favorite television shows and read your favorite books.

I admit, the snow has kept me from doing the things I want to do, like, shopping or going to my friend’s house, and being in the house is kind of boring. There was one time, when I was wide awake, sitting there complaining because there was nothing to do. I couldn’t go outside, facebook was boring, youtube was boring, I’ve already blogged, blogtv was boring, internet was boring, too late to cook, nothing to watch, don’t want to call my friends… BUT SNOW FTW!

I just made key lime bars and they didn’t taste as good as I thought it would be. First, I thought it wouldn’t be as sweet. IT IS WAYYY TOO SWEET. Second, I thought there would be enough crust. THE CRUST ISN”T EVEN THERE! This is definately not my favorite dessert and I don’t think I would make it for a very long time.

So, I would love more snow! I’m going to build an igloo today! WEEEE~

 

Journey: Day 3 – Winter Break 12/19/2008

Today is the official day of WINTER BREAK! Some people could say it was Wednesday, but I had to wake up 4 am to see if there was school tomorrow. But today, I just slept throughout the entire night. It was great.

But I woke up at 8:30 am, so it wasn’t as late as I expected. I slept at 1:30 and thought I would sleep until noon. But I guess my sleeping habits have changed. I sleep less and I wake up too early… I guess that should be a good thing.

My plans for today:
1. Play in the snow.
2. Play in the snow.
3. PLAY IN THE SNOW!
4. Drink Hot Chocolate.
5. And maybe a little bit of homework. C:

I have a long break… but I also have a ton of homework. I guess it would be a good time to finish it all and not stress about it.

 

Journey: Day 2 – Snow Storm 12/18/2008

All Seattle Public Schools are CLOSED today, Thursday, December 18.

So I just found out there was no school today. Last night, there was a mix between hail and snow. It wasn’t snowing that much so I thought the schools would be cruel enough to send us off to school. But we don’t! But something scary happened…

I tried to go outside my room, but all of a sudden I saw a flash. At first, I thought it was some creep taking pictures or something, but it wasn’t. Then I heard “ROOMBOOMBANG!!” Oh yes… it was lightning! It was really loud and super scary. It was the first time I’ve heard lightning in Seattle this loud. It was freaky. After the lightning, I heard sirens. I’m not sure, maybe a car was hit… but then it stopped after 3 minutes. So I told Alex on Facebook about the thunder and siren noises. Just when I finished typing, I saw another flash. And this one was even bigger. The rumbling noise lasted about 5 seconds.

So now it’s foggy and it’s snowing HARD. And I’m glad, excited, and happy. C:

I wish it would continue to snow for the rest of the day. I just want it to snow, snow, snow! I don’t have to play outside today because I could always play tomorrow! My web-cam is on because I want to capture the glorious moment of lightning… but there hasn’t been one. :C

I closed the lights so it could see the flash. But you can’t see my face at all!

This is what’s happening outside my window! Isn’t it wonderful?

Journey: Day 1 – No School 12/17/2008

I’ve seen my friend Alyson write daily on her little blog, so I’ve decided it would be pretty cool to make one as well. This is like Xanga… but better. Just a little bit better. C:

I remember when we were little preteens exploring the internet and the scary predators we’ve met online. Those were the days…

Well, today there is no school because the school district was afraid that it might snow later in the day. And it would be a drag to get back home. So we didn’t have school. That means I won’t have to turn in my incomplete essay for Language Arts and I wouldn’t have to take the test I didn’t really study for in Japanese. If I say it the mathematical way:

no essay = bad grade = x
no study = bad grade = y
Therefore, x = y; and x + x = 2x!

Double bad! BUT~
No school = no need to turn in essay + no need to take test = -x or -y

And so x + y – x – y = 0!
No need to turn in anything!
