Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
Starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive
I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations

7 Things
1. People who are willing to get off their butt to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.
2. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?
3. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the heck would you keep looking after you've found it?
4. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the freaking floor.
5. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?"...Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya?
6. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.
7. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, idiot? (Bus stop)

Hobo retards put the ho in bo and the ard in retard. So hanging out with anne was so much fun yesterday. Took the subway to Shi Ling. Taiwanese teenagers are so lucky. They can easily take the subway or bus to hang out with their friend, etc. Wish we could dot aht in LA. We ate lunch at tanaka and it was the most delicious food ever. But I say that about everything here in Taiwan. The dessert was light, sweet, and oh so appetizing. And the milk tea there is perfect. Ahh then we went to Anne's house and her baby cousin is so cute. He says bless you when you sneeze (even ifyou fake sneeze) and calls people. And we went to xin guang and another mall where we made this magnet thing. We had haigen dazs there. OH SO GOOOOD. I wish we had this kind of food in la. but seriously the people here aren't even fat. I felt fat standing next to them. They're short too and have small feet. x) Haha anne says that the girls here act "cute and like immature" even if they're like 20 yrs old. Yea so true. Anyone can distinguish us foreigners. AHhhh so much fun. And we had dinner at anne's mom place. It was like mini shabu shabu. AHHH so much food yesterday, So much fun. I'll post pics when I get back. The only thing that i hated was that anne wouldn't let me pay for anything. -_____________- fighting over htebills is in our blood.
So later today I will have to visit dear auntie's grave. oh how we all miss her.
7.29.2007, 2:08 PM
Hopeless. I can't even fall asleep for an hour. Ever since 4 am, i've been doing nothing.
And this is why I have so many entries of nothing.
, 1:03 AM
Betters blog this all out before I forget.
Jetlag sucks. I feel hungry now. It's 4 PM here, 1 AM in L.A. it's kinda weird.
TOdaaaayy woke up at 4 AM here and browsed the internet, same old. chatting. played tetris. i seriously have nothing to do here. i can't play any instruments. and all this time since i got back from a sweatfest, i'vee been on chatting. LOL but it's been fun.
SO the lins went to eat sao bing you tiao and it was so cheap and DELICIOUS and then it started raining. :) So we went to 7 Eleven and i bought all these sugary drinks and junk food and 7 eleven wasn't giving away any free gifts. :( But we got a 30 nt discount. LOL. And then we went back to the apartment. And we headed for dan shui and we had to climb this big hill of all these plants to the graveyard. And since i am so smart I wore shorts. Bad idea. So i got scrapes and bruises now. -_- So we paid our respects and then we went to danshui. We went in circles a million times and went to every 7 eleven there and we bought like an item from each of the 7 elevens. haha that was funny. And we visited this i don't evne know what we visited anymore but it was a building. HA. Finaly, We took the metro alllll the way back and of course we were sweating. The whole day it has been sweating, going to 7 eleven to buy dirnks. I bought an ice tea, water, mango slushie, soda, fruit juice, grape soda all in one day and chugged it down. SUGAR! Wells, and now i'm back here bored bc everyone signed off. And my bro is playing with his DS and doesn't want to play wii w/ me. and my parents are knocked out so i guess we couldn't play wiii anyways. What to do. What to do.
The downside is that anne can' go to taipei 101 tomorrow and we have to postpone it and i have a dinner later w/ grandma. this is going to be so much fun. my mom's sie of the family is so messed up. my cousins are brats and their moms hate my grandma. Isn't that great to hate your mom in law? o_O ANd last year when my grandma had knee surgery, her grandchildren living in taiwan aka my cousins didn't visit her. but my mom, me and bro flew from l.a. to see her and of course pay our respects to dearest auntie. Soooo i'm looking forward to having dinner w/ my mom's side of the family. end sarcasm. there are no lin cousins here so it is too boring. and the dinner is going to be so tiring bc of jetlag and i will have to listen to my grandma speak taiwainese even though she knows i don't understand it, and i will have to decipher what she says and reply in my awful taiwanese. but i love my grandma. the highlight of the day. the cute guy in the metro today. yea it's that pathetic. :)

Time goes by so slowly when you're antiicipating something. All throughout the flight, Scott, you were on my mind. The flashbacks just flashed back and the past seemed so long ago. Not a day goes by where don't feel any regret. But what I didn't really say to you was Thank you. Realy. Thank you.
, 1:21 PM
Humid. Just humid, hot, sticky, and very disgusting. That's taipei. The only safe havens are 7 Eleven and hte a/ced computer room which I snuck into.
Hm. Usually when I post these entries, I have so much to type, but not right now for some reason. The plane ride to here was horible. Aside from having to sit in once place for 13 hours, the food was horribbbbllleee. Dad just called me the pickiest eater. The bread was good. So was the cake, but that's all. Oh and maybe the yoogurt. Taiwain is just not like home. It's not home to me. It's home to my parents. I hate having to stay awake all night to be on th elookout for mosquitos. :P get these humongous red circles of bites. Ehhhh..
Fortunately, Talked to anne yesterday at the airport. So nice to hear from my retarded friend =] TAIPEI 101 finally 8) Ahh well. IJust 4 more hours until I get some food. x_x
7.26.2007, 5:30 PM
Days go by, weeks, months, years. 3 days without you. Scott, we relaly miss you and we love you beyond belief. We all agreed it's just not as LOUD as it used to be. 3 way calls, laughing that turns into crying, constant music playing. It's just whenever I think about it, I start thinking about all the good times and missing you and I don't know.. Please enjoy the rest of your life. Just know, we'll be with you soon....
What we think at first is like an assumption. And we don't realize what it's like until we actually experience it. And then when the end comes, we don't realize it's the end until the end. These six weeks at walnut high have been tiring, but really fun. I'm really going to miss all you guys even though we'll be at school again in 4 weeks. I think I wouldn't be so sad if I wasn't going to Taiwan. It's not like I'm never going to see you guys again, but being in taiwan, it's just so far away. The thought of it is really depressing. The only up is hanging out with anne at taipei 101. :D And swimming and playing tennis w/ ive.
I guess this really is the end. Remember when we would stress over the tests and "studyyy" --some of us actually studied --SARAH!- lol and I guess this is the beginning of even more studying. I guess studying never is out of date even though a lot of us wish it were.
Well since no one reads this, I won't ask you to post your schedule on here. Hmm. But if you happen to be reading this, and you got your schedule, tell me via AIM or GMAIL or w/e. :)
I really don't know whether to be excited or sad for taipei. I think i'm sad (good thing anne doesn't read this). But not sad for the two friends i'll see But... even so... this summer-- now passing the half way point, I really never was as thankful and grateful and just so happy for my friends. You guys reeeeally are the ones I look forward to everyday. Thank you sooo much.
This whirlwind we're always caught up in, we all stick together and that's what makes life worth living for. But we all must remember that family is oh so important too. My mom's been joking that when I come back only with my dad, I'll have to be more "mature"--as if I weren't already-- (JK) She says i have to organize the house and not be so lazy (HAHA WHAT A JOKER) I'll be planning my tutoring lessons and all that and the plus is that I can make plans w/ any of my friends bc my dad is welll more lenient. ;D hahas.Costco microwave dinners, watch out!
Ahhh I really miss you guys. like grad. But enjoy the rest of your summer. :)
Who am I kidding. No one reads this. But it's nice to type this all out.
7.24.2007, 2:27 PM
Guilt, regret, shame. More regret. That's all I can think about.
I've done some pretty stupid things, heck because I am a stupid person. But I've never felt worse. Itstarted off as a big joke and it ended with the biggest burden, the biggest regret ever. Everytime people tell me "Michelle, it's not your fault. Things just happen." That's a comforting thought. end sarcasm
My best friend won't live to see the day he graduates bc of me. He won't be able to see the world, to go to the places he wanted to go, to contribute and do something for the world. And the evidence points to me. Oh why. I don't think I feel sad bc I'll have to live with this for the rest of my life. Rather it's because my best friend, whom I love like a brother, the person I've known for eleven years, will never do what he's always wanted to do, to experience what life gives to all of us. I'm so sorry. I know that's not going to help anything. It won't revive him of anything. It doesn't revive anyone. I remmeber when we were little, apologizing was a big deal, it taught common courtesy. Not so easy anymore.
Scott, wherever you are right now, please know that no one will ever forget the joy you've brought into our lives. Maybe one day we'll all be together again.
I've thought all night about not going on any further. I've always been taught though that just because someone you love isn't there anymore, doesn't mean that you have no reason to live for. I got that advice from well the last person who ever spoke to me.
7.23.2007, 6:44 PM
It's official. It's the end. No more upcoming dates for HP books, no more theories about what might happen nxt. Deathly hallows was actually better than I expected it to be.. And that's saying something.
These days, things aren't really going so well, but yesterday I Must say was a lot of fun. Spent the day reading hp again. o_O Put off studying as usual. And went to tutor andrew as usual. And tutored at the teacher's theory class. I was doing ear training and sight reading testing which is way more fun than tutoring theory. blarghhh. I've had enough w/ tutoring theory. I tell andrew the same thing every week. At least he's doing better =] makes his both feel better. lmao. Well ear training and sight reading. I had fun bc I was talking 24/7 going blah blah blah all about the chords, intervals, and what you should do in sight reading. I swear no one counts. No one sets a tempo. I hope they learned. I don't know why I enjoy tutoring. I have 0 patience. maybe it's the talking part. lol.

1 more hour til deathly hallows comes out. i never kn ew this day would come. JULIA'S BDAY PARTY was awesome. Goodtimes with good friends. We watched a movie, played wii and swam and ate pizza and tiramusu, and talked. :D I love weekends w/o any hw.
Deathly Hallows ball sounds like so much fun. so sad... i heard the ending on taiwan news. not that i understood it. dearest daddy translated for me. sucky, somewhat bittersweet ending man but i won't give anything away.

7.19.2007, 10:59 PM
LLearning taiwanese is so much better than learning chinese.
So far i learned how to say: "You are stupid." and "hurry up"
7.14.2007, 5:15 PM
Order of the phoenix the 2nd time was actually better. HAHA. When Sirius died it was so sad. I can see why a lot people think that OoTP wasn't as god as GoF, but they just odn't understand the HP series. Harry's growing up and this movie was moving at the end when haryr talks about friendship and love. Like my brother was expecting humor and action, etc. And it got me thinking about lav, is, and I. we really haven't hung out since feb. And Chloe leaving yesterday...
Nevertheless, this morning was really fun with ivy, eric, albert. :) We walked around and ate then watched the movie while drinking a slushie and ended with lunch at costco w/ a big pizza and soda! Too much fun.
Then i did laundry. how fun. And turned to movies afterwards. Watched Bridget Jones's Diary and A Walk To Remember. I don't know why but i liked a walk to remmeber better even though it was rated 2 stars... It got me thinking and it's really moving. And of crouse it made me cry... Why do I watch these movies? I think it's because they move me and I know they move everyone else.. well people who have a heart.
7.13.2007, 7:02 PM
Just don't forget. I never will. Ahhh. After a morning of fun, I guess I have to accept that I won't see my best friend again until next year. Chloe, I didn't say this to you then because I didn't want us both to feel bad, but I really really hope you have fun in Australia and make new friends. Yeah, you won't have as much fun with me (JK ) but nevertheless, don't be sad all the time. Always remember that E-mail and AIM is the way to stay in touch. :) I'm sorry you had to see me cry. But really you are one of my truest friends. Only my true friends have ever seen me cry.
True friends stay true. =]

Yesterday at South Co., I was thinking about how many memories I've had at South Co when we were all young and carefree. Old friends never part I guess. We don't talk everyday or really even once a month really but when we hang out, it's jsut like hanging out with your friends you see everyday. I remmeber always going there for Halloween and visiting the stores with brandon and brigette, and getting bagloads of candy. I remmeber last Christmas or maybe it was after christmas, we hung out at south coast and we ate pasta and we talked and laughed and goofed around. Wow. Just so many memories. Nowadays, I never see childhood friends anymore except for Julia i guess, but even thinking about those good times makes me smile. Now. We really have gone our seperate ways. But we're still friends. Good friends. Note to self: Arrange a time to go to themovies or something
I've really had a fun weekend. More fun than I could ever imagine. And now it's monday. i absolutely hate mondays. The harry potter marathon on abcfamily ended. o_O I actually had time to waste to watch harry potter. the trio looked so young and naiive in the 1st movie. 2nd movie they matured. and 3rd movie. HAHAAA brings back times when I watched it over and over again in the 6th grade when my mom had those long appointments and my dad was always at work. me and my microwave dinners and good ole poa dvd. wasted my evening w/ it yesterday. i esp liked hte 3rd movie cause harry was cute in that movie. i recall that i esp liked his hair. 3rd movie is my fav--not bc of the cuteness factor. lmao. too manymemories. OOTP out WED. Can't watch it. Mom will not let me watch a movie on a weekday but for god's sake it's haryr potter. think i'll go watch it on fri after alg II test. :(
And I just realized that waking up at 3 am is never a good thing. Apparently my dad decided to turn our fountain on again bc he thinks that if we never turn it on, it will never work, and my room being in the front of the house, the whole night I hear water splashing and falling. Red eyed, I get my nano and listen to postal service all night long. And all day long today i have: such great heights stuck in my head. We watched these boring docs and stupid movie on czar nicholas II. and it's official. Russia was even more messed up than the French. We took too many notes. I thought my hand would fall off. and the bell finally rang and I went home. Ate coffee break. Chatted awhile with some old friends. Tried studying but fell asleep for 30 min until mom hollered at me to wake up for piano lessons. Got a lot to study.

Hm. When the last test of the semester comes up, you know it can't be good news. And hte last test is fill-in and you have to spell stupid people's names right like: gavrilo princip or the schlieffen plan. and of course i use stupid ways to remember them. like schlieffen plan: SCH LIE FFEN she lie effen. o_O The pages of the chapter never end and the presentation notes. ohhh nooo
