Fall is Here

Fall time is my favorite time.
Not too hot, not too cold. Just perfect.
Another reason I love fall is I get to wear my winter clothes.
Combat boots, scarves, leather jackets...
And coffee. Yumm.
This school year is going to be fun and hectic.
Hectic? College work.
Many essays to type, and the worries of getting into college.
Fun? Disney, graduation, P!NK concert, 18th birthday...
And hopefully no finals!
The seniors got called down to watch the "trailer" of Disney World.
Just by watching the video gives me chills and excitements.
April is going to be the best month!
First we have Disney all week,
then after we come back we will have Spring break,
then after that comes my freakin' 18th birthday!
Ah! I can't wait!
Fall is also a great time to sneak into my bed.
I love reading books under the warm beddings.
And I have an addiction of buying books from Amazon. Oops!
But since I am earning money now, I can actually pay for my own things. Kinda.
Which is what I am doing for the Disney trip.
Possibly the Hong Kong trip too.
Winter, please slow down your steps, because I love the breeze right now.


The lovely pins that I found at a local bookstores!

The Start of the End

SENIOR YEAR.
What?
It has been 2 weeks and I still couldn't believe I'm a senior.
Like, I love this school, but I still want to graduate and be done with it.
This year is GREAT.
At least for now.
I love all my classes except for math.
Math. First period. Sucks. (3 years in a roll baby!)
And having a teacher that puts you back to sleep? Ugh.
Other classes are fine, though, since I dropped physics AND soc.
Gotta love the advantages of being the oldest.
So I went and got my parking permit.
That lady put me in Honors lot which makes me happy.
Which means I don't have to walk on the hill in winter.
Since I can drive, I have to drive my mom to grocery shopping.
I guess that's alright, 'coz sometimes I can go to places that I want.
Like getting froyo.
My goal this year is getting to a college that I love.
U of Pittsburgh would be ideal.
Oh, and getting all A's too, so I don't have to take the finals.
Senior year...
Let's all enjoy every moment and make the best of it!


Coffee yogurt with strawberries, oreos, chocolate crumbs, and nuts. Yumm.



HONG KONG | 2013

My family and I came back from Hong Kong a few weeks ago.
Even to this day I am particularly sad that my trip was over...
Hong Kong is like a temporary escape for me even though it doesn't seem like it to hkers.
Over that couple months, I had the best time ever!
I lived in my "popo"'s (grandma) house for the whole summer.
God, that place is too small for 4 people but I rather live with her than in luxurious hotels.
We didn't travel to other places while we were there like last time,
but we did went to several places in HK that I've never been to when I was young.
It was pleasant to see my "yeye" (grandpa) still doing strong.
Makes me cry whenever I know I won't be able to see popo and yeye 'till maybe next year.
Another thing that makes this summer special is I finally got to see my old friends!
There were like, what, 10+ people from TSL that I met this summer.
And I met someone that I thought we'd both forget each other.
Hotpot, movies, MongKok, Ocean Park, karaoke... amazing memories.
But it was my family who I wanted to see the most 'coz it had been so long since I saw them.
We all went to buffets and eat sushi together like gazillion times.
Again, more amazing memories.
When I finally could count my days left in HK, I had that empty feeling inside my body.
I didn't want to cross out the days on the calendar.
I spent my last day in HK with my cousin and brother riding bikes.
Best way to finish off my actual summer.
My cousin came to sleepover the last night but ain't nobody got time fo sleep!
We left for the airport while it was still dark out.
Didn't get too emotional like last time when I finally had to say goodbye.
Hong Kong never fails to give me memorable moments :)
I'm glad to see everyone and thanks for giving me another awesome (and special) summer!

Introductory

No matter if you're my friends or just some strangers who happened to find my blog, thanks for stopping by!
So I had made several blogs when I was like 10, 11. And they all failed.
Let's be honest, many of us made blogs that we all failed to maintain.
However, it is different this time.
I've grown up. I had more experiences. I wasn't like what I was back then.
I want a blog that in 10 years (okay, like maybe 5 years) I can look back to what I did and who I spent my life with.
This blog tells a story.
And that story involves people that I care and love.
So if you made it in to this blog, then congrats, you are important to me.
Hope whoever is reading this and I have a fantastic life that we won't regret being in.
