oh yeah btw...

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY OLIVIA!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D
CONGRATS!!!
YOU ARE NOW ONE DAY CLOSER TO YOUR DEATH...
HAVE A GOOD ONE! XD

woooooooooooooow...

And still wowing from what she saw last night.
The Taipei 101 sure is tall O_O
Wow, there's like, 3 ants crawling around now -.-

Anyways...
Yesterday. I woke up, posted about day 1...oh yeah, I have some pictures from Day 1!

On the plane...
Me and my brother


Me, my brother, and my mom


My grandma's dog xD She's sooooooo cute!!!!


Ok, that's that..
Anyways, yeah. yesterday my...dad's friend invited us to dinner and stuff, and then later we went to Taipei 101 together :D
It sure was a long bus ride, and we had to walk a lot...but it was worth it :D
It's soooooooooooooo tall!!! (well duh, it's the world's highest)
hehe...
Did you know, it has the fastest elevator too? It went from floor 89 to floor 5 in 45 seconds!! WOW. you could even feel the pressure in your ears as you went down :D
Too bad we couldn't go to the very top =/ The highest we could go to was floor 91. Floor 89 was inside, and you had to pay a few bucks more to go to floor 91. And we did. And it was outside :D
When you look down your feet get all tingly. Good thing there were bars to keep you from falling :P
Here are [a lot] of pics from Day 2...

The subway :D me and my brother (hehe...Die Hard 4 poster thing in the BG...)


Taipei 101 in the morning...


Taipei 101 at night...(soooo pretty!! i LOVE the lights)





HEY LOOK!! A FAKE STATUE OF LIBERTY!!


Uhh, yeah. anyways....

No, really?


Inside...at the department store area


This is cute :D I like it. Very original


Shots from Floor 89 (i have tons of these)



The ball thing that helps Taipei 101 stay up during an earthquake so it doesn't collapse (that's SO cool)


The stuff that holds it up..


The last few floors of Taipei 101 (shot taken from floor 91)


Phew, FINALLY done.
Hope you enjoy the piccies xD They took awhile to post.

HEY OLIVIA

I got an MSN account.
suzaku_flamegoddess@hotmail.com
I already added you so you just need to approve it.
I won't be able to use it when I go back to America though :(

hey everyone!!!!

HI!!!!
guess what...i'm at Taiwan right now :D I guess you guys already know that though xP
blech, this keyboard is hard to type with T_T i don't like laptops
oh well :D

right now it's 5:46 am here...and it's June 30th :P over there at this time would be 2:46 pm, June 29th xD
hey it's kevin's party day!!!
hehe. yeah whatever
I MISS YOU GUYS!! :(((

i'll fill you guys in on some stuff, i guess

the flight was 13 hours long =/ except this time it didn't feel quite that long. i guess i was sleeping most of the time, since the flight was at 2:10 in the morning xDDD
i saw half of Shooter on the plane. then i was too tired to watch the rest XD
Norbit is a weird movie. i watched bits and pieces of it without sound XD man that lady is FAT...
(sorry ._.)

and then...
oh yeah
throughout the flight i kept on thinking about hi-jack movies on planes...like Snakes on a Plane, Air Force One, Flightplan...=/
i was scared that would happen to us XD
i know
i'm stupid
and paranoid -_-'

anyways..moving on...=P (ugh, sometimes the letters i type don't show up >:O)
then...we arrived 10 minutes early :D at 5:05 am.
my uncle came to get us...it actually wasn't that hot in the morning. it's just the humidity that makes you think it's hot xD (woot, earth science...relative humidity...close to saturated -_-')
wow
we went to my grandma's house (mom's side)
and we didn't really do anything the first day, since we were just getting things ready and stuff
Taiwan has a lot of good channels that the US doesn't have. not fair =o
yeah...
at night we ate yummy stuff :D
then my uncle came to get us again, and dropped us off at our other uncle's apartment =P we're living there because he's at Beijing right now on some business trip...so he said we could use it xD
it's pretty comfy, except there's lots of dead cockroaches here and there o.O
my mom kept on walking around cleaning the apartment...while i was trying to fall asleep on the bed xD
i should eat my breakfast...i'm hungry...
anyway
yeah my mom's still cleaning xD
she says there's also bugs that bite you, leaving you a big gigantic bug bite. really itchy. ick, i'm not planning on getting one of those anytime soon XD
so yeah, that was our first day. this is my second day here, fresh start :)
if you guys wanna figure out my time...take your current time, add 3 hours, and swap the am and pm thing.

so if it's 5:00 pm there, it's 8:00 am here
got it? OKAY!! good :)

now i need to see if his YM works
and i need to register a new skype so we can communicate with my dad in america
you guys have skype tell me...:D

okies, that's all for now. i'll try to update as much as i can :)

Leave Out All The Rest...

Leave Out All The Rest
By: Linkin Park
(<3)

I dreamed I was missing
You were s o s c a r e d
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Don't be afraid
I've taking my beating
I've shared what I've been

I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are

8 hours left....

Until I leave for the airport.
I found out that my flight is at 2 am.
So we have to arrive at midnight today.
And that means that we're leaving at 11:30 pm ish tonight.
:(( I'm going to miss you guys lots.
(Haha, no sleeping for me today >x3)
Yeaaahhh....
I might not be on a lot...cause we still have to go to the bank and the library today. And then we have to make last minute preparations and such.
So yeah...
Don't be alarmed if you don't see me online today Olivia. XD
Imma gonna ditch you....

I'm so nice.
Guess what I'm doing right now
Tearing out vocab flashcards from my SAT prep book.
How fun is that? -_-

PS: I think the font is normal as you scroll down now...I'm not sure though

less than 2 days...

until i leave for Taiwan
*sigh*
i'm still not done packing.
just finished cleaning my room AND the downstairs table
sheesh
and half of it wasn't even my mess.
doo doo doooooo
gee it's gonna be really hot at Taiwan.
it's already past 100 degrees F in Texas anyway
i suppose it's worth the heat though...cause Taiwan is the SOURCE OF ALL FUN-NESS :D
Hehe.
I don't have anything to talk about.
oh yeah
i finally got to move my computer back to my room
now i don't feel like i'm being watched everytime i do something...>.>
hehe.
yeah, my uncle's lending us a laptop with internet connection (obviously) cause there's Skype on there, and it WORKS, so yeah
i won't be able to get in touch with any of you during the flight though :(
it's gonna be pretty long
thank goodness we arrive in the morning.
cause if it's at night it's kinda scary, and you can't really organize your stuff during the pitch black
the thing i like about Taiwan is that you can go out past midnight and there'll still be lots of nightmarkets and such open :D
yep.
and everything is cheap, but the material used to make the stuff isn't cheap
err...that doesn't make sense does it =/
anyway yeah, i don't think i should just sit here bragging about my summer
isn't carmen going to mexico?
that's so cool
i've never been to mexico
or hawaii for that metter =/
i need to get out more
OMG GUESS WHAT
my dad says we should go somewhere different next summer...most likely EUROPE :D:D
like, FINALLY, after the time when we were SUPPOSED to go but we didn't because my brother was too small -__-
now my european dreams shall come true :D
france and spain looked like so much fun
mwahahaha >:3

doo doo dooo....

i'm listening to a really good song right now :)
anyways
school is over :D
i've decided that i shall not go to school manana
but i want to
cause i wanna see my IS test :P
i'm such a nerd

i'm leaving for taiwan in less than 4 days!!!
eaaaarrrly morning on thursday, so i won't be able to see you guys for a month :((
i think my uncle has YM, so i'll try to IM you guys...
and i can still log into my blogger account, so i'll try to update you guys with pics and stuff like that :D
guess what
the movie for our FW was really good
no offense, but i think it was the best and made ours look the most fun :P
esp. with all the family fun center stuff
i wish mr elliott had gotten film of me beating al and kirsty at go karts xD
haha
i'm so nice
the swingy thing was GREAT
too bad it wasn't jared and them who was riding it
otherwise it woulda been really funny

olivia is washing her hair. she'd better return soon before i'm bored to death
bleehhhhh
my posts are getting shorter
cause i really don't have anything else to say....

too bad i can't go to kevin's end of the year party
:P i would be on the plane by then
*sighs*

GUESS WHAT

EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN IS OVERRRRRRR
(PENGUIN FINALLY CAME BACK FOR A FEW MINUTES...)
AND TOMORROW IS THE UNOFFICIAL LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!
BOOOOOYAAHH!!!!
YAAAAAY!!!!!!!

@ Carmen:
I think I might go to school on Monday just for the heck of it. Are you going? (And I MIGHT be able to go to your casa if you're coming to school too :P)

So yeah.

You know what really sucks?
Trying to get around in this cross between a cane and a wheelchair while trying to prop your broken foot up in a cast.
Ouch.
Poor guy
Amazing what a difference one guy can do

I'm so happy
OMG TAIWAN IS COOOMMING...
Mwahahaha, I'm ditching you all >:D
I'm evil.
We're gonna be flippin' 9th graders
And the 9th graders are gonna be upperclassmen
CREEEEEEEEPY


I WANNA FINISH THE ISLAND EVEN THOUGH I'VE ALREADY SEEN IT...
I can't believe mr. bach let his 4th and 5th period class run around. then i kinda wished i had him, but then..NEVER MIND :P
Spanish scrabble was fun. xD I actually got serious over it
that movie in IS was weird. i shoulda remembered i had Timeline in my backpack so we could watch that instead. it has to do with history. =P but not in an icky way
it's one of my all time favs :)

...there's nothing more to say, really
nothing can express how happy I am right now :D:D

Nero is EEEEEEEEVIL

As in my burning program. not the Rome guy.
Well, he's weird too but that's not the point.
Oh, and you know what else is evil?
YM and MSN
the connection keeps on breaking up
gahhhhh
OLIVIA!!!
where did you go? :(
bahhh

Nero. the burning program. is EEEEEEVIL
it's being stupid
because i'm burning the demo onto a cd
and it burned
except it doesn't play >:(
and the player i'm using supports mp3 files AND rewritable discs, which is what i'm using
humph

you guys are sooooooo lucky
i wish i was done with experimental design
T__T
short post again...

it was so sunny today!!
and it still is :D

mixed feelings?

no not about a guy.
sheesh
are guys all girls think about now?
pshhhhh

well, i guess having mixed feelings about earth science isn't exactly cool either
cause you see
i nearly failed the ES final
77%
that's REALLY bad.
gahhh
it lowered my grade by 3%
now it's 84 something percent.
soooooo
if i get 100% on experimental design (highly unlikely), i'll get an even 90%.
let's hope...
please hope with me. :D
*hopehopehope*

ok yay :)
well, i'm done with my report
and i'm done printing out everything i need on the poster
now i just need to assemble it
and make the mix for my procedure demo.
...
cya everyone :D

sorry if this was short.

Haha...

Is it weird to like senior assemblies? Cause I do. :D
The video was fuuuuunnyyy...I liked it. =]
OMG I can't wait to make it, if we can, for the 9th graders when they graduate. Mwahahaha...evil parodies. >:)
Wow. I just got a really weird idea.
Haha, Grace...you're so flippin' funny XD
Commercials we were making up during the five minute advisory. Marie decided that Grace should go into the advertising business. :P

"Take this pill, look like this: Insert Penguin here"
Haha. Imagine his face.

Wow Grace. You're the best. :)
Why am I typing with correct grammer?
Weird.
Wth grammer isn't a word?!
Oh. It's spelled grammar. Never mind. :D

Ummm....
I was going to say something.
Oh yeah, the senior video.
Haha, evil plans >:)
It would be soooo much fun to make it for the 9th graders, and then watch the one made for us when WE graduate. :D

Ughhh...the sevvies will be making it.
Juniors get matched up with a senior? I didn't know that.
But there's like, 50 8th graders and like, 80 sevvies.
Blah.

Carmen got a flippin 88 on her art final, which is RIDICULOUS because she shoulda gotten a higher score!!!!
Yeah whatever...culture. -_-
Oh yeah, that was required.
How it reflects culture.
But WHATEVER.
Humph.
Hey look, humph is a word. o.o

Anyways.
I almost missed the bus today. Thank goodness I saw it, and then me and Kirsty RAAAAAAANNN to it!!! It's a good thing it stopped.
Sorry Grace, You kinda missed it.
Marcel went on the other bus.
Lucas...I have no idea.
My art tower broke again. Another piece fell off.
Grrrr...

ACHACHACH EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate Earth Science.
Blehhhhhh....
OMG the final!! O__O
I don't want it back.
We got our math back today.
I'm glad I did well. D:

Huh, I still have to draw my FW thingy.
How long is Penguin going to stay in the hospital?
Maybe he's at home now.
But WHEREVER he is, he's lucky cause he gets to skip Stupid Week.
Gahhh...
I'm bored.
As always.
Ummm...
Yeaaahhhhh...

Oh yeah.
Did you know that writing while on a bus and holding your art in one hand is hard?

i hate experimental design >:(

yep. title says it all.
my fingers feel funny. they keep on misspelling things. i'm typing slooooww...
amazing what focus week can do to you.
i haven't been on the comp for a week xD
yeah whatever

focus week was...
okay.
it wasn't as fun as i imagined it would be
but it was okay
lots of things happened.
penguin broke his foot
doing what?
motorcycling?
probably
WOAH MOTORCYCLING IS A WORD O_o
weird.
what a weird coincidence.
wait.
there's not such thing as a coincidence.
O_o stupid V for Vendetta movie...now that's gonna haunt me ~_~
gahh, whatever.
still
it just happened to be HIM.
why couldn't it be
onion boy
or something...
we need a new nickname

besides the fact that someone didn't come.
other things happened too.
i found out...
the kite museum is really tiny
long beach looks like a sea of root beer
or sewage, whatever you prefer.
me and marie have invented a new dance
it's where you look like you're in pain yet keeping up your dignity while walking on a bed of rocks with no shoes.
(haha)
only me or marie would get that
i almost lost grace's flip flops
sorry about that grace.
ice cream was gooodd...they're humongouso.
humongouso?
this girl called rachel gave jared her phone number
"she just THINKS she likes him"
how true XD
boy that was weird.
the bus rides were fuuuunn....
deja vu was a really cool movie. i liked it. :D
the Others was creepy until you knew what the ending was.
FAMILY FUN CENTER WAS AWESOME.
go karts are da bomb :D i passed kirsty and al, YEAH!!!
mwahahaha >:)
the swing thing was SCARY in a FUN way. when you're just looking up at the sky it feels really good. but then when you look down you feel like you're gonna fall off O_o
the roller coaster simulation was...awkward. we kept on going in loops and turning upside down. it HURT. i'm never going on that again
laser tag was fun. i sucked. the girls hit like, 100 something times while the guys got us 500 something times xDD
i was going to say something
oh yeah.
mindy.
you'll figure it out on monday.
haha. neveda's gonna kill her for not telling.
umm...
i actually really like the underground tour of seattle. the tour guide was cool :)
EMP was awesome. so was the Sci Fi museum, surprisingly.
that vocal studio thing was weeeeiirrddd...
museum of flight...it was funny how all the guys were obsessed with that planet changing thing.

i think that summarizes most of it. the forts were...well, sorta boring. i only liked fort clatsop. that castle like thing is coooooooll...
fort lewis was terrible. i was scared the rest of FW would be as boring as that =P

sorry i wasn't on saturday guys. we were having a garage sale :P
we made...
253 bucks.
YEAH!!!
haha.
i'm such a weirdo.
i actually like hosting garage sales. they're fun :)

ACH EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNNN...
shoot. i'm glad i'm going on thursday.
i hate presenting.
i still need to make a drawing for the FW video...
haha, thank goodness cameras weren't allowed in the EMP. otherwise i'd have to do a talk.
okies now.
i shall...
depart.
chau :)

PS - i have NO IDEA why the font gets bigger and bigger as you scroll down, so stop asking me

but i liked my picture this year better
...actually, i don't like any of my pics but whatever, no one likes their own pics.

i was going to say something...
...
oh YEAH.
i hope mr. elliott actually made it so that all the phozzies are in one room..:D
that would be AWESOME if that's what the group meant!! haha i almost typed meat. what a dork

crap.
i was going to say something else, then olivia interrupted me on YM
DARN YOU OLI--
oh, i remember

'group 1' consists of 6 ninth graders....
'group 1's chaperone includes grace's dad...o.O
those 6 ninth graders swear a lot...
which equals...
big trouble for them, cause they're gonna get their butts kicked by grace's dad's whip >:)
haha
O_o
