Newest Obsession: Hetalia!

Ok. I've been slacking in writing in my blog. Shame on me. Well I have to say I've been obsession about HETALIA! I love this series <3 It so funny and it's historical too!
I think I'm going to love world history and imagine the countries interacting.

LOL well so far my favorite characters are of course the characters of Hetalia Asia! X3
Including: Taiwan, China, Japan, Hong Kong, and Korea! X3
Out of the Asia5 I love Taiwan and Japan the most. (course desu nee)
It's also my favorite pairing! <3 I support TaiwanxJapan! They're so cute together and the history works too I guess.
My Asian history knowledge is pretty low, but I think there was the time when China had to surrender Taiwan to Japan. And Taiwan and Japan where together for... 50 years? But then after World War II Japan had to surrender Taiwan after the losing. Kinda sad, but they're a cute pair! Support support!

Right now I think I love Japan the most, since he comes out in the series and is one of the main characters. But I think once Taiwan appears in volume 3, she'll be boosted in the character list.

LOL well another thing I'm obsessed with is the Delicious Tomato Song sang by the voice actor of Romano Italy. aka S. Italy. LOL it's so catchy X3 and I love the song.


Aha uh...what else I've been watching lots of Hetalia vids since the animes aren't really on time out... so I have to live the obsession other ways right X3





YAY FOR HETALIA ASIA! <3

LOL ok... well my favorite fanarted quote, this can be found in APH the Great China! AMV
Taiwan: I'm going to marry Japan after all!
Japan: -in the side- ? :0
China: NO TAIWAN! You're just a child! I'll give you a panda!
Taiwan: Don't treat me like a child! I... I don't want a lovely panda....
China: Anyways! I'll give you one! Just stay at my home!
-In the end China wins XD-
And how... the panda's Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan came to be X3

LOL

I love China and it's so sweet how he's the onii-chan of the Hetalia Asia. AIYA! XD
Another character I really love is Korea! He's so funny. There was this comic of him boob groping Japan. It was hilarious. Now I know why Korea protested. Haha X3 <3 it was an epic scene though. And I saw a picture of Japan getting revenge and grouping him back. AHA... funny <3

Also... saddest Hetalia picture I've ever seen...
Japan after World War II. Stabbed in the chest with his own Katana, his blood made the Japanese flag and Taiwan is with hi. TT^TT So sad... I almost cried.

LOL ok well there's bound to be more posts about Hetalia since I'm just obsessed like that >3

Vacationing and Thoughts

Well since my parents are now gone and hunting for food, I am here in the hotel room protecting the Coach bags and hanging out on the free internet >D (Another late entry)
Too bad no one's on right now... >.<>D I especially loved dessert. The yummy heaven of sweets. :3 I still dream about it at night (jkjk) There was pudding, souffle, and cakes. Yummm~ I'm really going to miss the desserts and also the huge display of desserts at the buffet cafe. Haha

Well of course on a cruise, one gains lots of weight! Well this year my family is very healthy and trying to maintain our weight. So every day we hit the cruise's gym once or twice a day. I love the equipment there! There's so many ways to exercise. The weights were fun to play with though I always pick the weights that are too heavy for me. (arm in pain!) Well the trendmills and the stepping machines were probably my favorites. My dad really liked the stepping machine too, so my mom's scared that he might decide to buy that machine. Haha (nowhere to put it at home)
Yeah... well thanks to the gym I only gained 3 lbs this week, which is okay since that's how much my weight wavers every day I guess.
So everyday, the part two of my weight maintains is the spa. So after exercising at the gym, knowing me I would be hecka sweaty, so I would bring my swimsuit and head for the spa and relax in the jacuzzi and pool. The jacuzzi was like boiling hot and it just caused me to sweat more, but afterwards I would go into the 3 barely 4 feet deep pool and swim a few relaxing laps. By the end of my weight maintaining program, I would be tired and take a nap in the room before going to eat dinner or lunch. Haha fun fun, though... my weight maintaining program failed... since I still gained weight. booo

Er... well other than that great fun. I had to teach my did how to play bingo... minor detail, but it took a long while. One would think everyone knew how to play bingo... but I guess not... =.=

Well this cruise I saw 3 whales and like... 50 dolphins! It was amazing! There were so many dolphins at once just jumping out of the water! The were so cute X3 It was really a once in a lifetime kind of scene, so it was really amazing to see something like that.
More wildlife I saw on land were a herd of caribou, 2 bears, and lots of huskies. The huskies were so cuteeee~ though, most of the dogs there weren't exactly huskies, but they were cute anyways! I just wish they were more cared for, the facilities seemed really dirty. Maybe it would've looked better of there was a bit of snow. Well who knows. Though... the puppies were adorable! X3 I really loved them and didn't want to leave... or just take one home with me as a souvenir haha.

Uh... what else... oh what most of you peoples have been wondering about... LUMBERJACKING desu neeee? lol well it was better than I imagined. I ended up having more fun then my dad, since... he didn't get any of the jokes. One that a really remember.
Canadian lumberjacker: I'm going to make a bunny
Host: Ok! GREAT! Lets see it!
-chainsaw powers up and slices a wood disk-
Canadian: DONE!
Host: Uh.... Jake... that's not a bunny
Canadian: sure it is! I saw one exactly like it driving to work today.
Host: ....
Canadian: it was on the road and looked exactly like that

Me: O.O poor bunny XD

Well that wasn't a good joke... or I'm just really bad at telling them. What else can I talk about... Hmm... I think I got most of the main points.
Finished with another long post >3 and that tis mi Alaskan Vacation

I miss the colddd~ XD

Wisdom Love 2009

I just had the best week of my life! I totally loved it! This entry is like a few weeks late but whatever, better late than never. I want to write this week down before I forget.
This year, Wisdom was extremely fun. I had an amazing time. I even make some great friends and it just recharged my motive on wanting to go to Wisdom.

This year, I was the TA of the potsticker group. We wore the red wisdom shirts and they stood out so brightly, it was really hard to miss the great potsticker team when we walked by. The kids in the group were around 3^rd to 4^th grade, eight to nine years old if I remember correctly. I was assigned to the group along with four other TAs: Alvin, senior; Jay, junior; Patrick, sophmore; and Tiffany, freshman.

Alvin, Patrick, and Tiffany all went to Mission San Jose, the “smart Asian” school as I call it. Jay was the only one who went to Irvington High School, but I don’t think he was the only one of ALL of the TAs. And of course, I was the only Foothill Falcon, probably out of all the TAs of the Fremont Culture Camp. Some of the TAs were surprised to hear that I was from Pleasanton, I don’t really get why, but that’s their opinion.

Well of course, the first day of wisdom was hell. But actually this year’s kids weren’t as bad as last. Since… they know how to line up into two lines. But they always had trouble getting into the six lines when sitting in the box. The main problem was some kids were good, some wanted to sit next to their friends, and some just didn’t like sitting with the group. But overall the potsticker kids were good campers.

One of my favorite kids this year was totally opposite from the kid I loved last year. Her name was Hannah, a half Taiwanese-half Korean girl. (very cool) She was very outgoing and loud, having the typical proud Korean personality, but not as bad as Yujin (thank goodness).

I really loved listening to her talk, it was just so funny, there were only few problems she had though.

1. There was this girl name Melody that she really hated in the group, so she would often rant about how annoying Melody was

2. Hannah had major allergies, they seemed really bad and her eyes would often hurt a lot, so I often had to sit by her and make sure she was doing ok.

But one of my favorite things about Hannah was her gossip predictions, they were so fun to listen too, I often found myself asking her to update me. It was extremely entertaining to listen to the kids form rumors about the TAs.

Most of the rumors were love pairings and I found they extremely fun to listen to and some of them changed throughout the course of the week.

First Guess: AlvinxTammy, JayxTiffanyxPatrick (Pat and Jay were fighting for Tiffany)

Second Guess: AlvinxTammyxPatrick, JayxTiffany

Third Guess: Alvin, TammyxPatrick, JayxTiffany (The kids learned that Alvin had a real girlfriend)

It was fun to listen to these all week, but this is all I heard from Hannah, I think Gloria had some predictions she told Ronald and Katie, but is not telling me. Hmm I wish I could hear them. They would’ve been fun to listen to. (Though it did take a while for me to tell them that I didn't like the TA guys...)

Well as the week continued on, I spend time with the kids, and I think I reached as one of the most favorite TAs. Many of the kids enjoyed playing with me, I didn’t even know half the names of those that wanted to hang out with me. (Kinda sad…)

Adding on to that… I think I was the only TA who actually tried to memorize all the names of the kids, but… like last year, I failed. (It’s hard!)

The days passed with the signing in, classes, tag, dance practice, and TA meetings.

The TAs started to learn the TA dance to perform on Friday. At first, it was extremely embarrassing to do, but on the last day, the embarrassing dance became fun, extremely fun. The last dance for the performance was a completely success, but my mom didn’t get a recording. Good thing Tiffany found it and tagged me in it on facebook. (haha) The performance day wasn’t as stressful as last year, which was a very good thing.

After all the kids left and the TAs cleaning up (as Tiffany and I danced the TA dance as we cleaned). Many of the kids wanted to get pictures with their favorite TAs. I had quite a few… well probably 2… one with Hannah and one with all the other girls that liked me. And I finally got the TA picture I wanted! (Thank you mom!)

Well the TAs finished cleaning the MP and the potsticker TAs skipped towards the classroom to clean up, arms linked. It was so fun actually, we were all high and we didn’t care what others thought. We were happy but also sad that the week was over, screaming “WE SURVIVED THE WEEK!” as we skipped.

One last time… the potsticker TAs looked at the classroom and (as we were high) we did a few crazy things then. The guys started to feel relieved that they didn’t have to be “good role models” and let their boxers show. (haha) Tiffany and I laughed at some of the boxer designs (ducky boxers XD) and went towards the lunch tables for the last TA meeting of the week.

The TA supervisor, Lily LaoShi (teacher), also noticed the close friendship that had formed between the potsticker TAs within one week. As she handed us our final wisdom letter (or as I call it, the graduation envelope) she asked us if we knew each other before. But we were all strangers that met through the camp and with a week, the bond grew. I was happy to know that I have formed friendships with new people and especially wanted to keep in contact. FACEBOOK! >D haha…

Next was the TA party. It was so fun, free food (left over lunch) and someone bought ice tea for everyone. It was fun to hang out with my fellow TAs and talked to some of the teachers (few that still remembered me). There was cake, ice tea, apple pie, curly fries, and burgers included in the food. There we got the picture of all the Fremont Culture Camp TAs. We, the potsticker TAs, had to stand in the row at the very top with our drinks.

After a few more minutes of telling everyone to go on facebook and keep in contact, I had to leave early. I was totally high or sugar high, it really was a great week. I am really going to miss wisdom and my new wisdom friends as well. I love Wisdom! >3
