The countdown

Today, its the last day of this year. At first, I had my plans for the countdown. However, there are more to the issue. My mom's surgery forced my plan to come to a stop. So now, I am here in my house writing blogs and doing my homework. This is just amazing. I am going to celebrate my countdown in my own way. I will make sure I make it up for myself. However, everything has an order. First thing first, I have to finish my math homework, or at least, to a certain amount. Wish me luck and Happy New Year ( In a couple of hours) !

Calculus

Calculus is truly an amazing course. It is said to be the advance level of math (beyond high school that is). To me, its something way superior than how it is stated. It is the ultimate weapon that forces students to hate math. Its incredible power to do that is just plain amazing. I have not encountered a single course that can rip an student's passionate interest that easily and that fast. I had been a very mathy student. I loved math, but not till I met calculus. I believe calculus defies the very interesting nature of math. Its less about thinking now, but more about just numbers trying to confuse you. I say this, because I can't do my calculus homework. That's all.

Surgery and ICU

My mom went and took a surgery today. It took forever to take a surgery I realized. She went into the room at around 8:00 and came out at 1:00. I am amazed by how the doctor manages to stay focused for so long. And then she came out, supposed to be wide awake, barely awake. She now resides in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for a day. Damn, that equipments there are...amazing. This is probably just me but that heart beat thing just looks so cool in person. Finally, in ICU, we have limited time to visit and we need to wear that weird cloth that took us forever just to get a glimpse of her.

Mission Impossible 4

Another awesome movie I watched this break, in fact, I watched it today. It is fantastic. However, comparing to previous releases, this ghost protocol thing isn't as amazing. The story is pretty random and all the scenes jump back and forth. Gadgets no longer look as cool. What's worse, Ethan Hunt ( Tom Cruise) sucks in this episode (due to old age, whatever). He gets beaten up on a one to one duel (and the opponent should be a horrible fighter : college professor). Last but not least, the girl in the team isn't as hot as she should've been. All those stories compose a good film, but it took me quite some effort to keep up with the random spinoffs and irrelevant, or rather, fail to impress image.

Motivation for luxury of entertainment

So, this friend of mine decides NOT to enjoy his life. Upon his return from Japan, he has being overly critical in examining his efforts and accomplishment throughout the break. He believes he does not deserve further "slacking off" as he puts it. However, somehow he does not realize that break is created for fun, for relaxation, and for enjoyment. To be overly harsh in thinking about one's workload is defying the very nature of break. Do not get me wrong, I am not suggesting that break means time to give up all responsibility and work, but the ratio must be altered for fun. A movie...won't take up so much time that will inflict damage to the progress. He, in particular, needs to learn that.

Sherlock Holmes

SHERLOCK HOLMES : A GAME OF SHADOWS is an amazing film. I really love all the actions featured in the movie. Furthermore, I love the scenes. The problem about most films is that the protagonist is way to powerful or smart. But in this movie, Sherlock got outwit twice. Poor guy. I really love how my favorite idol got fooled, makes me only more human. Then, the best part, if you don't want to be spoiled of the movie, you have to stop here, is that the final scene is depicted. Professor Moriarty has the final showdown with Sherlock. The checkmate part is awesome. Finally, this Sherlock mode - super anticipating mindset for fighting, this world of mental genius, is intruded by Moriarty. " You are not the only one who can do this!" Well, Sherlock's final move is just amazing.

My Break

We finally have our break, but why is my break so horrible. So much homework to do and I haven't start on any. So much college app to do and I haven't finish them. So much things that needs to happen and will happen and I haven't accomplish that I want to accomplish. I guess I hate my life and I hate my break. I always thought my break would be a happy one, one with rainbows and unicorns (urggh...not), in short, fun stuff. Down to this moment, I only see hell.  Piles of homework waiting for me and loads of things yet to accomplish. Fellow breakers, my break has come to a short break (break - in - break that is). Please give me your blessing and wish me luck for the rest of my break.

Perplexing decision

So I have 100 bucks in my books.com.tw account. Its going to expire today so I tried to place order on something random. Firs that comes into mind is this cool wristband with some healthy stuffing or something like that. Looking stylish and having benefits (whether it is true or not), that wristband seems like a good choice, but the yellow strip n blue strip are sold out, much to my dismay, so I try to go for something else. Then I struggled for the next three hours on getting over head or in ear headphones. After a long search, I found this combo that gives a headphone and a earphone for less than 1000 bucks. Yep, I bought that, got to get it before their sanity ends. I mean, seriously, I don't care that much about quality, just give me something to listen to.

My Pathetic Life

Yes I had to go to school today. Why? College app. Why did I leave it till now? Don't ask. How much left? Unable to disclose at this moment. Why is the progress? All I can say is not much left. The sad thing here is that I have to go to school!!! What time is it? CHRISTMAS BREAK!!! It's the holy christmas break, and apart from all the schoolwork I have to do... COLLEGE APP. I feel that sense of irony in your eyes even if I can't see you. Don't pity me and don't scold me. I did NOT procrastinate and this is just a mere situation from a small human error and huge bad luck. YES, I know college app cannot be determined through luck, but sh*t happens, what can I say??

The midnight slaughter

Sooo, I was extremely tired today. After I finished my duty of the day, (excluding this blog of course), I went to bed. However, mosquito buzzes every now and then. That annoying sound keeps me from sleeping. So now, I get out of my bed and start to watch some anime. Then in mere 5 minutes, 7 mosquitos came to bug me and they all end up zapped. Some of them are even beheaded from the zap. 7 in 5 minutes! How crazy is that? No wonder I can't sleep. Now, I shall give my bed one more chance. I don't want to fall asleep on stage tomorrow, or more exactly later today.

Tiredness

I am exhausted. Why? I do not know. I watch anime, I do homework, I play basketball, and I chill out. There is nothing unusual! Everyone is doing those stuff, if not more. Why won't they get tired? With all this senior dance practice, I am like a walking dead every single day. My eye lids cannot stand over 30 minutes when I arrive back home. There's gotta be something wrong. I don't feel that much stress no more. I am rather bored sometimes.With that in mind, my exhaustion doesn't make any sense. Now, if all you awesome readers (yep that's you) would excuse me, I still have a Calculus test to prepare for. Arggh...I will need to go to sleep first.

My tenseness

Somehow, in recent years, particularly the last two years, I get very tense and very impatient. For some reasons which I have no idea, my negative emotions grows large. I find that very symptom annoying myself, as this became an involuntary reaction against my conscious. In the past few months, I realized why. With the accumulating stress, I became really inflexible. Just how bad is this symptom? Even my mom noticed, that is how bad this is. Of course, like I said,this is all about stress. I am stressed to a point that it not only impact my emotional side but so alter my physical side. I get all the pimples as well as losing sleep. Now, I feel glad because my stress is about to end and rest is up to...urggh...someone not in this world.

My first bidding experience

So again, I went on this Bid and Buy.com thing. First of all, I will admit, I stupidly put in 1000 nt into that account. But the first thing isn't half as stupid as the second. I bid for this altec lansing speaker set. Looks cool, definitely one investment, lost 400 nt in it. What makes me feel worse is that Danny Shue wanted me to bid that. He freaking invested in me and he lost, which pretty much indicates that I fail. I realized one thing, apart from my 2 blunder bids, I did overally rational and well, except there are too many people liking that stuff. It annoys me because I couldn't scare the other dude away. Sad and depressed now, let me chill for a while. I am about to go through a mental breakdown.

iHome bidding

Today, on the bid and buy, features the legendary alarm, iHome iP90. This super alarm clock has always been my favorite. Bid and Buy is featuring it today! I love this thing. Therefore, I will bid and get it no matter what! Arggh. And now, the time left has gone down to less than 1 hour. How crazy is this? My heart is beating, and my college app essays are pending, but regardless, I will get what I want. That is one thing I learned from life, you want it, you get it. If you don't proceed, you'll never get it as it will never get handed to you. Now, if you will excuse me and wish me luck, I will go and fight for what I want.

Finally, Dance begins

The senior class has always planned on having an brilliant performance (yes, I have exaggerated a heck lot) This year, in our skit, we still feature 3 dances like last year, but only with better dances. The girls got this really sexy good dance while guys...urghh...nice performance yet not really prepared yet. Its on the way though. Today was our first practice, not bad I have to say. The dance is pretty tricky and not really impressive on individual basis but looks really magnificent if 13 people are doing the same thing at the same time, synced perfectly. I am so glad we started to practice. After all, we are the finale.

ONline Bidding

I just found my new hobby tonight - online bidding. This website allows people to bid by 1NT or 2NT increments and get stuff extremely cheap. However, each bid requires 20 NT. Thus, the bidding process is tricky and extremely intense. For example, iBeats earphones, which cost like 1400 NT was sold for 83 NT. Such awesome trade is very appealing. Now I aim for the Studio Beats over head earphones, which cost over 10000 NT! I hope I can get the bid less than 2000. The tricky thing here is that I only have 4 more free bids before I need to pay money. 4 Shots against rich people with infinite shots. Wish me luck!!

MIT Interview

I had my first college app interview! Luckily, but sadly, the first school I am admitted to interview is the one I want to go to the most. That means I have the least experience yet I have to make the most important impression. 30 minutes before the interview, I was stressed out. Listening to Disturbia only made things worse. However, later on, I regained much composure. The start of the conversation went tense, as I was really nervous. Ms. Tina Lee made it much easier on my side by talking casually about her life. Then, I went into my talkative mode. Interestingly, she knows Derek. In conclusion, I had fun and let's hope for the best.

How to Glow

Earlier today, Eileen and I devised this awesome prank on people, which some are gullible enough to fall for it. At first, I was having some weird pose while I said I glow. Then we start to go around asking people to do it. The rules goes like this. FIrst, you must stand inside a designated block. Then, you have to use your left palm to cover up your right fist. Then the thumbs, RIGHT MUST BE ON THE TOP, otherwise, you'll get dimmer. After that you do wall-sits incomplete version, without the wall. All arm angles are 45 degrees and knee must be at 90. Finally, stare at an opposite sex for 10 sec. Then you would GLOW! Funny how someone fell for it. Props to that dude, he made my day.
