".. If love be good from whence cometh my woe?

If he be wicked, a wonder thinketh me..."

Its beautiful, isn't it?

the jar of wonderous finds includes:
a yellow ceramic piece of something,computer chips, a tiny vodka bottle, 2 rocks, a bottle cap, a foriegn carnival ticket,dried flowers,a plastic blue tag and a piece of turqoise tile.

my preciousssssss clocks
The correct time would be the 4:00 blue one.
The other one is too loud so i took out the batteries and set it to 5:55.
5:55- because its a strange but funny time of the day
The mintue hand is just sitting there- like it is waiting for something

The day before yesterday, I decided to go on a walk- so might as well take ellen's dog with me. So Jack and i wandered into the preserves.

I am a little infuriated they are plowing the land and wiping away all the plants so they can build more useless houses. These houses would block the most wonderful view of hills,windmills, mountains, and the tollroad freeway. Plus it will also leave the coyotes homeless and they'll start wandering around the neighborhoods!

Back to my adventure.. I climbed over huge piles of dirt and i found all these computer chips and other strange odds and ends. So i shoved those in my pocket. As i was collecting rocks hoping(this sounds silly and impossible) i'd find some sort of ..fossil or... artifact.. I started to hear this loud clanking noise so i climb over a hill and there is this huge army of bulldozers. After 40 or so minutes of wandering it begins to rain. I never should have worn flip flops. One of them fell off so i had to look for it in this pile of dirt. Then when i was looking for my shoe, i find a shovel.

my wonderful finds

When my parents went back to china 3 years ago to go to my dad's dad's funeral.
They visited a village our family established decades ago and found some artifacts:

2 locks, a comb, a cracked plate and ..?

I'm not sure what this is but by looking at it it may be:
1. some sort of smoking pipe
2. an oil lighter type of device

I sauntered to the bus stop sqinching as I faced towards the sun. Sitting down, i pulled out the Great Gatsby and finished a chapter(horrary. No homework). Just then i realized this stranger next to me had been trying to talk to me and had repeatedly said:

" HI. WHAT'S YOUR NAME."

I was surprised but in a good way at how friendly she was. Then we had a short chat about who was picking us up. The world sure needs more friendly people. There are too many of "those" people who drag their feet everywhere they go with this brooding scowl always on their face, mumbling and cussing about everyone and everything.

This is the real thing.
I even cropped it nicely and everything

You Are Mad With Beauty.
I Am Drunk With Love.

Mr. Butler's octopus's eyeball fell out.

how tragic.

Marvel, Brendon, and I worked on our chinese project for 6 hours straight. We used puppets!

After the 2nd or 3rd hour, this huge wave of tiredness/worry/restlessness hit me and for the rest of the 4 hours i couldnt stop laughing hysterically, rolling around, and singing. it was quite strange. But i've calmed down now.

Marvel's little sister, Nerwel, is quite loud, pesterious(is this a word?) but intriguing.
She wouldnt stop screaming and biting Marvel and we couldnt record anything. So i asked her to show me her room. At first she didnt like the idea, but then she grabbed my hand and ran to her "secret hiding place". We tried on masquerade masks and talked about her french best friend.

I have this huge urge to travel at the momment. Well since i obviously cant, i'll just post pictures of the forbidden city in Beijing this summer. .

..Which is a few mintues walking distance from my grandma's house. We took a walk one day and ended up at the palace/city.

A movie has recently been shot here -The Curse of the Golden Flower. i should watch it sometime.

it'd be so strange to watch the movie and seeing the scenes and knowing that i've been there!

oh look. here i am wandering around like a hooligan

and the rest are stills from the actual movie
everything is all so fancy smancy

I got a new ipod today! Its so white and shiny. i love it.

I came home from grocery shopping, had a salad and then finished my "behind the wheel" driving lessons.

The weather was perfect today. After rain, everything is always so fresh and clear. I drove through misson san juan capistrano, crown valley, and then back to irvine on the 5 freeway-north. I really like the landscaping of crown valley with all the green hills, piercing blue skies, and huge fluffy clouds that are shaped like people/objects.

Then i played with nibbler and took some pictures

see the half eaten slipper?
ugh. i was so worried he would get some plastic overdose..

would you like an oat?

:)

Drinking green tea with honey. hmm. so good.

I was in the doodling mood last night.

Henry VIII with his lovely wives.
1:Katherine of Aragon-was unhappily forced to divorce him.
2:Anne Boleyn-accused of treason,incest,adultry,etc. head chopped off by a french swordsman.
3. Jane Seymore- died after childbirth..
4. Anne of Cleeves- too ugly to be married to- so divorced.
5. Catherine Howard- as the cousin of Anne B.- unfortunately she was also executed.
6. Catherine Parr- henry dies before her.

You cant cure it.
You can only control it.

As i was laying in my bed last night, thoughts about death kept on rushing through my head. Life is pretty short-We only get to live about 100 years and then we just die! The history of life has been going on for the past few billion years and us, humans only get to experience a century of it. So if the existance of life was a ratio of one day.we would exist for 1/29348483th of a second and dissapear. then-why doesnt everyone live life at their fullest. Take risks. be stupid. be smart. be different. be someone. You only live once.. so might as well live a good one.

During the clinometer lab in math i had a such a great and intresting conversation with Tom. Apparently, he is moving back to Israel next year ..and when he does.. he's going to join the army. He told me all about life in israel and what it's like. and wow. lives of 16 year olds in different parts of the world sure are different. and i mean different.

my sister and i have developed this habit of drawing on bananas.
Fruit.

Which reminds me.
Once.. i got mad at my mom ..and i threw a pear at her..
