Asian Magnetism

1
All in a Day's Work, The Day Events

So I’m at a middle school, and there is a break before the class starts, so I bust out my strawberry yogurt nutrigrain bar and head outside to eat it on the ramp (it’s a portable classroom). A few seconds into chomping down on it, greeting students coming in, I sudden notice a little asian kid looking at me.

Asian kid: Hi!

Me: Hi!

Asian kid: What are….<pointing at the classroom>

Me: Oh! I’m part of this class. ……… Are you in this class? (thinking he just added the class or something)

Asian kid: oh! no…no….

Me: Okay!….<nodding and eating….trying to avoid eye contact because the kid is still staring>

Asian kid: Are you….Japanese…..Chinese…..

Me: I’m actually Taiwanese…..yup…mmhm….

Asian kid: ooooh okay….so do you speak Chinese?

Me: Yeah, I can speak Manderin. ^_^. <slowly walking up the ramp to the front of the door and I stop in front of the trash can>

Asian kid: Ni tsai tse su muh? (What are you eating?)

Me: Oh, a bar.

Asian kid: Ahh! So you cannot speak Chinese!

Me: No no, I can

Asian kid: Then why don’t you speak it? Is your Chinese poor?

Me: No, I just choose not to.

Asian Kid: Why?

Me: It’s…..just…..weird….here….

Asian Kid: Ahhhhh! <shaking his head, as if offended, and walks away in a huff>

Me: <I turn around and my co-tutor is like @_@>

Too funny. I hope he’s okay.

But seriously, what is up with that? It’s like he was walking to class, and suddenly sees an asian person and he just had to see if it was someone he could speak Chinese to? It was really uncomfortable. You’re a kid! Go make friends!

Using my “magic”

uhh...random!

So I’m driving home from studying, after dumping all my books, papers, purse in my trunk, and I get the foreshadowing sound from my speakers. You’ve heard it before…your stereo is all silent, and all of a sudden “shh….beeep..beepbeepbeep…shhhh”. From deductive reasoning, most of us know it is somehow related to cell phone reception…or wavelengths…you may hear it before you get a phone call. So I hear this, and I’m like…”Crap! My phone is in my purse in the trunk….I wonder if someone is trying to call me….did I forget something?” So I’m going racking my brain, trying to visualize if where I’ve put all my belongings in my various bags…and finding that I could see them all where they should be, or than I physically placed them somewhere (guys and girls remember where they place things differently, which is why girls are actually better at finding things because we visual them better. I learned that in psych.).

So it dawns on me…..what if…I use….the FORCE….or….telekinesis…..

So I snap my fingers (while driving), concentrate reeeally hard….and say “Cell phone!” and thrust my palm out.

…

…

nothing.

….

Accio…Cellphone?

Sigh.

Happy Birthday!

I love animals

Droolworthy, uhh...random!

If I go to the mall and there is a pet store there, I makes plans to go in. In fact, there’s no reason why I wouldn’t go in. Here are some of the best.

I like Italian Greyhounds, and this one was really unique because of his black eye!

Shiba inus are really cute too. This one was super chill.

This chinchilla was sooo chill, and sleeping on his side. Aaaaah his little fingers are sooo cute.
