We play Rock Band for most of the day. I spent more time singing because that’s the job least people want to do. It’s relatively easy following the cursor for me, since, lets face it, I don’t know most of the song well.

My best dorky friends ever.

We call this song, The Emo Song, and my friend Philip sings it pretty well! His voice is a lot like the original at times. We are fortunate this time to have two token white guys hand out with us! <: P.

Here are the fireworks. The regional lake near our house had fireworks every year. It’s enlightening to see it from another angle because it looks very far away, but my friend’s house still has a good view. The fireworks were stopped in the middle because a house was on fire. From where I was, you could see the orange glow coming from the nearby hill and smoke rising out. An hour later, the fireworks resumed. The house turned out to be 2 streets down from where another one of my friends lived.

To give some perspective, the hill to the right has houses on top.

While we waited for the fireworks to come back on, though we never knew it would ever, we sat on the driveway talking about the past, since I had known most of these guys since middle school. Here is an interesting story about Phil. It’s about the time when Blake beat up Philip after jumping to conclusions. Blake is the tallest guy I’ve ever known and Philip is the nicest guy ever too.

I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.

Worst line in the movie ever! I saw it when I was…what…middle school? And I thought it was corniest cheeziest line ever…not to mention horribly acted! It came out totally stiff. Anyway, when I bring up my hate for sand, this quote must ensue.

But I go for my friends and I tolerate it. Just not often. I wish I could go back to this state of….something.

Look at all the seaweed!

The sun is so bright, but it was not hot. Very breezy.

This picture is a whole lot cooler sideways!

I noticed that taking pictures with the horizon in the back makes for weird crooked horizons?! Then again…maybe the person taking it was holding it weird.

Whoa this shirt makes me look big.

Happier times.

Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight?
Same thing we do every night, Pinky, try and take over the world!

Giving back to the ocean.

This is called Redemption. Looks kind of scary!

Haystacks. I really like this picture for some reason. I think because it looks so calm, but inspiring.

I like the colors! Looks like a lot of fun! I didn’t catch the name of this one…

This was actually a bigger picture, but I liked this one part of it.

Koi! I love they way they move their mouth.

What?

Kamiya Dojo! I think of Kenshin when I see this. My house in Sims2 look a lot like this! I’m going to build something like this if I’m ever rich.

The willow is one of my favorite trees. It’s so gloomy and elegant.

I’m sorry for the 7-8 people that were erased from this picture.

This is what it looked like before. Flipping back and forth is pretty trippy. If only it were so simple to remove people in real life…

The Chinese Garden

I saw long hallways like this one in China, but they were about 10x longer.

Sooooo pretty!

I think someone was feeding the ducks even though they weren’t supposed to…

The Atrium ceiling. I want an atrium in my house too.

No, the picture isn’t upside-down. This flower grows that way! Cuuuuute. I don’t remember the name though <: (

I like this kind of space. Large floor to ceiling windows and wood flooring.

Hello Mister Sea Cucumber! You were not very yummy. Mister Peking Duck served me better. At some big Chinese restaurant in Diamond Plaza in Rowland Heights. Found it: New Capitol Restaurant. If you spend more than $30, depending on how many people you have in your party, you get free food. We had 5 people so we got a free 2 pounds of either lobster or Swimming Water Shrimp. We got the shrimp. We actually went to this place for lunch either for their dim sum. It was really good! They had a lot of variety and not too expensive.

Anyhow, here it is! I couldn’t take a picture of my camera with my camera….oh…I guess I could have used a mirror. Oh well. ^_^

It comes with the oh so yummy gimmiky smile shutter! I haven’t even tried it yet. I probably will never use it. I guess it’s another way to take a remote picture instead of the timer. This camera is not for emo kids, that’s for sure. haha. You can buy an underwater housing for this camera, and it has a preset for underwater pictures that make the scene brighter. I’ve always wanted to take pictures underwater….

Did you know Viggo Mortenson (from Lord of the Rings) is also a photographer? He has a book of pictures taken underwater. I know this because my World Lit teacher in 12th grade loved Viggo and for her birthday, another teacher got her the photo book.

Sometimes I flirt with the idea of getting an expensive DSLR like my dad and my brother and everyone else who actually take good pictures but…when it comes down to it, it’s not practical for me. I’m not going to lug around something so big and I don’t really know how to use one…and that requires more things for me to learn and I have enough projects I need to get done. If I really wanted to, I’m sure I could borrow one of my dad’s cameras (he has 2 of them now, one for normal distance, one for far away -__-”) to take special shots. My dad will preset it for me. teeheehee…. …             ..

oh! And a tripod makes a big difference! I should get a tiny one at least.

I made these super cute reindeer candy canes for my classes on Friday. About…100 of them. The kids were happy……^_^

Too cute!
