   Wow i am tired today. All the classes and all the things stacked up after school. Im telling you, being a class rep isnt the easieast job ever. You have to plan out things for the kids, you have to host meetings, you have to have a whole lot of ideas for the events and also you have the kids who wouldn't listen to you at all however you try. There are just kids like that, there cant just be kids following the rules. Its okay, i sort of am apart of those kids who dont follow the rules. But hey i am now the class rep and i understand all of the pains the teachers experience everyday with us kids. Meh...Its okay i think i am actually doing a whole lot of better job than a bunch of other grade class reps. My life is so average right now its sorta crazy. I am also hosting a meeting for the kids of sophmore and the freshmens. We are going to discuss the Christmas performance and i think i will let Hiroaki Shimabukuro lead the whole dance. We just have no talents, including me whatsoever in our grade. So i have decided to blend in two grades so that we can all die together, or just have about twenty more brains to think about for the Christmas performance ideas. Well this is done for me tonight, i am tired and i am going to nap. After i wake up i will probably eat dinner with my family and watch some how i met your mother on PPS. I am almost done with the whole series too by the way. Cheers

    Just another day, another day of school. People say enjoy school, it will be the easiest time of your life. Yeah okay i know that too, honestly i do and i believe that it will be harder throughout life. It just seems like being in college would make everything better. Getting wasted all weekend, being able to drive, being in a country without your parents, and some other more things. There are just alot of things i want to do with my life, and with my age and my priorities now, i cannot even get close to attempt to try these. I know i will miss my family, i know i will miss Taiwan and everything, i just want to grow up i guess. Well people always tell me, enjoy your life kid, being a kid is what everyone wants. Don't have the desire to grow up so quickly. I guess i am in between both. I understand both side's argument about growing up, but i dont know i wish i could do many things as a kid. Its late, im tired, ive had a long day. Im going to go to bed.

2010/11/28

  Sunday... The day we all use for come recovery time. It is a day before some serious work starts and the last time you can enjoy your vacation. For a day like this, I like to just go home, hang out with some friends or go out with Vicki. These things are basicaly what I do when Im on my break or during the weekends. I think some things like this kind of seperates me with local Taiwanese kids. I came from a society where video games were frowned upon, where the cool thing to do was to hang out with friends, play some sports, grab some snacks or anything we liked to do. I have became of the people in that society, now that i have moved back, I feel very different than other kids because everyone day dreams about getting which new game or being able to kill the level eighty dragon that will level you up. Instead of doing that, I dream about getting better at Skateboarding or scoring a touchdown in a friendly game of football. I enjoy outdoor sports alot more than indoor activities. Everytime when I am doing nothing, and by nothing I mean playing around on the computer, I would want to go out and hang out with my friends. This is why I dont get some of the Taiwanese kids here, whats so great about being able to be someone in the cyber world when it is all fake and they should live in reality instead of in their little dreams of killing a goblin. I guess this is just cultural differences. Well Im going to enjoy the rest of my Sunday with some How I Met Your Mother.  Cheers

2010/11/25 Giving Thanks

   Ughhhh, Giving thanks, Ughhhhh being thankful UGHHH. No im just kidding, haha I love giving thanks, honestly i think this day is a very nice day for all of us to look back at our year and think what have we done that was bad. I think thanking the god or just basically thanking anyone is necessary, instead of thinking everything they got is a right. People should really cherish things, there are things that some people think are rights, when they are just privileges that god will take away if they abuse it. I am not a very religious person normally, but that pious statement says it all. I think people should learn to thank and cherish for what they have got, instead of what they don't have. Many people see things in different ways, some people never look around once in a while and think about all the great things that is given to them. Even if your not filthy rich and wipes your nose with one hundred dollar bills, you can still be happy and be thankful that you have a healthy body, or has a loving family. Everyone should begin to be thankful for what is given to them, not what is not. If the world would be a place like that, i can almost guarantee that the world would be a much nicer place to live in, and the crime rates would decrease within a heartbeat. Anyways, thanksgiving was great, the food, the atmosphere, everything today was great. 

2010/11/24 End of Funtime

    Wow, i had a blast the past day. I woke up, went downtown with some friends, and had such a great time. There are just so many things we can do when we are not at school. I know i know, you must think school is suppose to be easy and is probably the easiest time of my life. I know all of that, its just when your a kid, you always expect things to be easier. That goes for everything. Humans are really interesting, when people are young, they are desperate to grow old. When people are old, they picture those days when they still had their youth and wish to have cherished them more. This is a very interesting thing about humans. I have heard from some of my friends this very hilarious yet true quote "At 10 years old, he wants to be tough. At 20, he wants to be cool. At 30, he wants to be free. At 40, he wants to belong. At 50, he wants to be fit. At 60, he wants to be rich. At 70, he wants to be healthy. At 80, he wants to be alive." I believe that is how all humans behave, not just to guys. Why are we so interesting to observe and why are we feeling such things that contradicts later on? That is something very fascinating to think about. Well tomorrow is Thanksgiving lunch, kinda glad that we dont have to eat oily cabbage along with badly fried chicken. Sighs. Why cant our school lunch be better? Is it that hard to order good resturants?

2010/11/23

    WOOHOOOOOOOO day off. I began this fantastic end of the day with some skateboarding. But WOOOHOOOO again for not having school tomorrow. We have the hard classes tomorrow, so its kinda a relief to being able to skip it. Well today was like everyday, but a bunch of THImun singapore students left for their trip. School kinda got quiet, but its okay, i don't need the THImun students to have fun. And there will be a Thanksgiving lunch on Thursday!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO AGAIN!! There are just great things happening this week. I hope Friday wont kill the whole week by giving us stacks of homework. Well even if thats the case, its okay, i need to learn some new things anyways. By the way, or sports day grade booth is kinda cool, i bet ours will be better than everyone else's. I wont say it on the blog yet incase other people read it and go "wow that's a great idea, lets be greedy people and steal their ideas." Yes yes i know no one will ever read my blog, well how about for the mysterious feeling it will bring to you Mr.Dahl when you show up at sports-day. Today was a great day, im hoping the rest of the week would be the same too.

2010/11/22

    Today was a long night, overloaded with homework and stuff i cant even finish. Well its three in the morning and i only finished my chemistry homework. What should i do? should i go on and finish? or should i just go to sleep? i want to do both, i dont want a bad grade for this quarter too.But its harder to do things now because there are just so many things to do. God i wish i was younger and all. Well my lifes still going great and i still love my life. Nothing too big can change my life and the love i have for it. Im too tired, i have to go to bed.

2010/11/21 Week's end

    First week, of being the better Brandon, actually, just the Brandon that does his work. Its going alright so far, nothing is really stressful yet. Just a regular old week, but i wish time could go slower, i wish time could go so far back, that it just takes one lolipop to make my day. Not that my life now sucks or anything, honestly i love my life now. My life is relaxed, i have a girlfriend, and everything seems to be working fine. I love my life honestly, just that i wish i had some more of my childhood sometimes. Well put that aside, my weekend was pretty interesting. I went back to Taipei as soon as the bell rang, to see Vicki, she's got some lump growing on her gum. I was kind of scared, but then the doctor told her it was completely benign. Then my Saturday was completely relaxed, stayed home and watched some tv. After some tv, i returned straight to Hsin Chu. It turned out that my parents did not want to go back to Taipei this weekend because my dad was tired from his trip to Japan. On Sunday, i went to Taichung with my family. We went to my mom's old college and the night market there. The food was amazing, one of the best night market i have ever been to. We then got home around six or seven, the the rest of the day was just some How I Met Your Mother, and some tea. Haha, thats how my weekend goes down normally. Well it might not seem like much, but i had a blast.

2010/11/18

    Well today was just like any ordinary day. Today, school happened, and i came home and went to sleep. That is the short version, however today we got to discuss about sports day. The excitement on everyone's faces simply makes my day. Everyone fighting for an event gets me pumped up and paints a vivid image in my mind of how our team (yellow) will dominate everyone during sports day. Of course, yellow has the best players, the best spirit and the best people! That is a fact about our team. This got me even more excited after seeing that many people were excited about sports day. I wish this could happen to all of the events so that everyone can participate more. There were many events to choose from, however i only signed up for one so that i don't have to run or do any types of sports. We were all fighting all over the place for the best events. I wasnt the one doing that, but other people were fighting for it as if that was their evening supper. Well today was a fun day, discussing about sports day and everything. I think if everyone was this motivated enough on academic things, we would be producing many more geniuses than now.

2010/11/17 About to die.

   Wow today is not a good day for me. I just received my report cards today along with the teacher's comments. I am not happy with it, especially my spanish grade, i dont deserve to have a C when i was one of the highest students in class grade wise. There was no point giving me a C, just because i dropped from spanish 2 to spanish 1. That would pull my GPA down my so much, i dont deserve that. All the other grades were only mediocre and i believe that i NEED to work alot harder in english class. I dont think for a native speaker, to get a C minus on my report card would be nice. I have made a promise to myself that i will do a alot better term this time, atleast i hope so. There would be nothing worse than disappointing my parents, they pay so much for me to attend this school. I believe this is not a right, this is a privilege. That is what my old principle said and i believe it is the most true statement i have ever heard. I need to cherish the time i have here in an american education when i could be getting a normal chinese education like everybody else. I need to make the best out of myself for all my classes. I cannot let myself have such a low grade, i hope i do not end up with any Cs by the end of the year. I am praying for it. 

2010/11/16

  Today was another regular day, i don't really know what to write on these blog posts. It seems like everyday is the same. Today I had school and I stayed at school until 7 to play around with my friends. This is like an everyday routine now. We go after school and we go play around in school, pingpong tables, going out to get food and all the other things. This routine has been here for a long time and i don't really think this will change. School is boring for me, but i still enjoy it. I think today was more boring because i did not have my super fabulous english class with my favorite teacher, Mr.Dahl. I think days with english class is more interesting than the days without it. Not because this is an english blog, i actually think it is more fun with the English class. Today we had some tacos for dinner, that was very unexpected. There were little bits of beans on the nachos it came along with it. But those were some tasty nachos and tacos we bought. The homework load today was not as much since i finished most of my work today at school during study hall. I finished the massive pile of work Mr.Dahl gave us, finally. Well its almost time to sleep, i need to go and read my book before i sleep.

2010/11/15 Where it all began

    Today is just like any regular day, regular people, regular lunch, regular classes and so on. Today is the first day of the term though, and i have promised myself i cannot slack off as much as i did during the first term. I will start handing in quality work, i will start doing a better job for all my homework and projects, and i will get atleast a B+ by the end of the term. I was way too lazy and failed to turn in quality work for the first term. That will not happen for the second term, the second term it would be all turned in, on time and with quality and perfection. Atleast i will try my best to aim for perfection. Today was just a regular boring day, nothing really surprising came up in any of my classes today. To me, today is just a brand new day, a brand new day that will change my quarter grades forever. No more Cs in highschool, i am putting on my new attitude towards things and taking it seriously. Goodbye old slacking off Brandon, and say hello to the new ME! I can guarentee you today will be a change of my life.
