In the Wild,

Music : Race Against Disaster - Jeff Loomis

I was sitting here in the car thinking.

In the wild, there are no rules.
No morals and no ethics.
No right or wrong.

The only thing that would be on our minds would be survival.
Our instincts would drive us to do whatever it takes to survive.

Alex's Dork,

SO SMOOTH AND ADDICTING TO STROKE.

Happy Mood,

I'm not so sure why.

But I'm in a "OMG IM SO HAPPY. I LOVE LIFE" mood.

I'm very grateful for this wonderful life I'm blessed with.

I'm feeling very affectionate.

I just feel, so very very happy.

I love this feeling so much.

Bavaria,

Neuschwanstein.
Meadows.
Alpines.

Exactly what I dreamt of as a child.
I didn't even know a place like this even existed in this realm.

I'm so going.

~DT

The Box,

So I watched "The Box".
I don't want to spoil it or anything.
But it captured almost exactly my bleak views of human nature.
It's so precise.
Our selfish inner desires.

Enlightening movie.
But it was pretty depressing.

I don't even feel like talking to the people I'm with at the moment.
I feel kind of angry and upset after the movie.

I'm able to empathize with the conclusion and I couldn't help but to cry
so hard from it. Don't want to spoil.
But it was the ending decision of the couple.

But I'd have to say, the afterlife view, was breathtakingly haunting. A
pure white void.

I can't even really explain how I feel from this movie.
I'm just awestruck.

It's definitely an eye opener.

So hm, two life appreciating events in one day.

I'm on a roll.

I Forgot to Blog About Alex's Spontaneous Visit Last Sunday,

The previous Sunday (November 1st) Alex spontaneously arrived at my
doorstep! It was quite a surprise! :O I LOVE SURPRISES!!!!<3

His initial plan was to just stop by for a quick visit to say hi! Or was
it your plan this whole time to stay at my house... till 6... :O

Well! My mama invited him in and asked if he wanted to watch a movie!
Silence of the Lambs. We only got 20 minutes into the movie and Alex
wanted to do something else! I guess the movie didn't really intrigue
him! D: iz one of mah fave muveeezzz.

So we decided to walk to the park near my neighborhood!
I made Alex push me on the swings.

"This is the only time when I'm allowed to actually push you." LOLOL <3

Then we went to the grass area near some teen messcans. I sat on Alex's
lap cuz the grass was so prickly on the skins of my legs! Alex kept on
questioning why there were 3 messcan boiz sitting on a bench together at
the park. LOL.

Alex kept on trying to find empty barren deserted hidden places. :O
Tsk tsk tsk!

I was paranoid of staying at the park too long cuz then my mama would be
all mad at me.

So we went back home, Alex was about to go to his g'mama's house but I
pulled him back to my house!

Then we watched some South Park and Malcolm in the Middle and our
signature couch roll sessions. We havn't sat in that couch together for
MONTHS!!!! Good 'ole memories.

:O It was real fun. Reeeeaaaaal fun. New teckz and trickz.

Then GH gave me 2 potato wedges and I shared the biggest wedge for Alex.
Alex got suspicious as to why I gave him the biggest piece!

I gave you the biggest piece because I remembered that you really liked
potato wedges! And that you'd go to Albertson's to buy them sometimes
during lunch!

Yesh. Then my mama accidentally burnt our eggrolls by adding sugar in
it. But that's okay! You still took some home with you! :D

Then it was time for you to goes homes~

Thanks so much for visiting me!
I really needed that.

I Love You Alex! <3

Wheel-Throwing,

Today Alex made me throw on the wheel for his ceramics article picture.
I was very hesitant at first because I felt really lazy and I didn't
want to get down and dirty.

So then Alex got me to do it and oh my goodness gracious.

IT WAS SO FUN!! I NEVER KNEW IT WOULD BE THIS FUN! :O
I thought it was going to be super hard and everything but, wow! It's
not that hard for me at all! Or at least, so far it wasn't. I haven't
tried throwing a fresh batch of clay on top and starting from scratch
yet. I just continued what Stryker had made.

I think I shall be experimenting with this wheel throwing a lot more
often now.

Thanks so much Alex for urging me to do it! <3

We Have Made Great Progression,

Today we have made great progression Alex!
Admittance is the hardest step!
I'll help you along the way baby!
And don't worry! I don't hate you!
As long as the truth is said.

I'm so Happy.

~DT

Trust Game,

So today around the ending of lunch time.
Alex decided to make me do the fall back trust game.
He had to drag me across the ceramics room to find the perfect dangerous
place for me to fall onto!
I usually never participate in games such as these,
in fear that the person would trick me and wouldn't catch me.

I think that actually happened one time.......

Anyway,

It took a great load of convincing and a cheating pulled back fall to
get me to fall back volounteeringly!

I have to say, it's one of these things where it takes you forever to do
it and you wouldn't have been able to have done it under a load
pressure.

Alex was being pretty patient! *__* I like that the most!

I fell back once and it was like WOAH.
I fell down pretty far before he caught me!

And then Alex convinced me to do it once more!
It was still pretty hard to initiate the fall even though I've already
done it once!
But yes!

I DID IT AND ALEX CAUGHT ME!

I loved it when Alex told me "I had this image in my head where
afterwards you start to cry from all of this accomplishment and
everything." LOL baby! This ain't no Oprah!

But yes, it's definitely something I would've done.

I really do appreciate and love the effort you put into this!

I LOVE YOU!

CHU BABY! <3

Halloween Costumes at School,

Stryker had the best costume ever.
"Hannah Montana"

Alex was a PERFECT nerd.
Everyone thought I was cooking mama.
And Dutch thought I was a Hello Kitty girl.

~DT

Cute Korean Baby,

There was this cute little Korean Baby girl that was wandering around
calling for her mama!

"Omma?" "Omma?"

She would look at me from afar and I would smile at her and she'd give
me a shy grin and run away! And then she'd do it again!

Absoooolutellly adorabbble!
She makes me loves babies!

Calling Out My Government Teacher,

We had a test today in government and to aid us with our test, we had a
little review game where he asked each one of us down the row a question
pertaining to what we will be tested on.

When he got to me, he asked me "what are one of the principles of the
constitution and give me a brief description".

I had no idea what the answer was and I looked up at him and said
"You're asking me a hard question just because I'm Asian!"

And the whole class roared in laughter.
LOL talk about ego boost.
My teacher had the most shocked face I had ever seen and he was utterly
speechless.

So after I finished my test and got up to ask for permission to go to
the bathroom, he said,

"Yeah! Make it quick."
"And oh! I also have a question to ask you."
"What you said was a joke right? You didn't mean it right"
(He seemed worried)

"LOL!! Yeah it was a joke!! Sorrrry!" *swiftly exits*

I actually feel kind of bad. For making him feel bad that he's
discriminating me.

But yeah, although, it wasn't really a joke, well it was but it still
has it's merits of truth in it!

W00t! Confidence & Ego boost!

I normally wouldn't have made such a remark or said anything of that
nature because I'd be too pussy too.

But wow! I have definitely improved!

Feeling Alone,

Well about an hour ago, I realize how alone I really am.
Or at least, how mentally isolated I am from everyone.
Not a really great feeling.
I felt cornered, trapped, and alone for a couple few minutes.
But I got over it. I'm able to accept it.

It's a part of growing up.
People drift.
Off into their own paths that they pave along the way.

I think it's better for me to realize this now than later on.

--

Do you know what a great feeling is?

Listening to music through ear buds in the middle of the quiet night,
alone in your room in the pitch dark.
Depending on the type of song, tempo, echo and how high quality it is,
the notes vibrate so smoothly in the eardrums.
It gives me a feeling of great peacefullness.

It's one of my life's greatest pleasure.
Stimulating peace for my mind.

It's getting late, time for me to sleep!

Central Park with Alex + Company For a Bit,

I started out grumpy.
Ngoc picked me up.
Picked up Alex from 7-11.
Drank Alex's Coke Slurpee.
Went to Central Park.
Alex helped me cut Abby's dreads and hair off.
Abby has normal hair now.
Went into the shire. Got silly.
Walked across the field. Felt silly.
Video cam'd Alex. Alex video cam'd me.
Waited at bus stop, up front the library.
Tried to sketch Alex out.
Abby drew me sitting on one of Alex's leg on the bench.
Nghia came to pick Alex and me up.
Camwhored with Alex in the car.
Ate at Pho Thang Long.
They gave us onions in the beginning.
They had to redo it again because we ordered with no onions.
Went to buy boba at Tapioca Express.
Alex got Strawberry Icy & I got Milk Tea with baby bobas.
Too much baby bobas tastes and feels strange.
Waited over at Nghia's house for Nghia to burn program.
Alex asked me why I was grumpy. I stalled.
Nghia takes Alex home.
I went outside to tell Alex. Cried. Hugged.
Went home.
Alex IM'd me. Alex guessed it right.
Very Glad that Alex didn't deny.
Called Alex. Alex was in a roomful of people.
Alex called back while he walked on Beach st. towards Jordan's.
Alex explains to me why.
I finally understand.

Alex: I Love You.
Me: I Love You Too.

I'm really happy we're able to communicate with each other.
