The Odyssey.



The Odyssey was the first book my English teacher assigned for us to read. While other classes are happily reading through, "Romeo and Juliet" or "The Secret Life Of Bees", my teacher makes us read this 500 page poem. Even though, it says it's "translated" by Robert Fitzgerald, I don't get a thing that's going on in this book. All I know is that it's 10 years after the Trojan War, and Odysseus can't go back home. Oh big deal. I could care less. I have to bring it every single day, and most of the time, the teacher doesn't even use the book. It adds so much weight to my backpack and it's not like I'll be reading it during my free time at school. I just wish that my teacher would quickly wrap this book up, so we can read something new, hopefully more appealing and interesting.

I'm really not in a good mood these past two days. First of all, I can't complete my homework, because my printer isn't working. I tried fixing it, but I just can't handle it. Then, when I decide to go out on Monday to Soho with a friend, I have to help my mom, and stay home. Once my weekend is over, school is like a living hell. We get so much work, classwork and homework. The only happy thing about school is having fun and chilling with my friends. But, without them, I'd dread going to school everyday.

I've always liked listening to music while doing my homework, but I have never found the perfect song for it. I usually just listen to my favorite song of the moment. But, I have finally found the perfect song, and I'm just loving it.




Hope you guys enjoy!

Long time no Baby post.

It's been quite awhile since I updated my blog about our wonderful Angelababy. Well, one day, while I was roaming around Youtube, as the loser I am, I happened to find out, that Angela actually speaks ENGLISH. I was really surprised, since she was raised in Shanghai and Hong Kong, and people there, don't have good English. Well, for people up in Mainland China, not being able to speak English is understandable, cause you don't think people in Japan would know Spanish, would they? But, English is actually Hong Kong's official language, after Cantonese. The truth is, most Hong Kong people that don't attend International School's don't have fluent English. (Not all, cause some do have pretty decent English.) So, when I watched the video of Baby, I had no expectations of her English being even close to decent. I expected a strong accent, sort of similar to G.E.M.'s (no offense to G.E.M., but her accent was pretty strong when she first entered the entertainment circle. But, it's getting better!), but she surprised me. There was a slight noticeable accent and her grammar was a bit off, but overall, I'd give her a 7/10.

A Great Start.

This will be a pretty short post, as I will be getting ready to sleep soon, after I blow dry my hair. Hope you all have been having fun in school, and getting the good grades you deserve.

I have a feeling I am making a great start in high school. I'm building a great foundation and I feel that I finally fit in. I've made quite a few new friends. They're all really nice and very easy to talk to. They've helped me through my first two weeks of high school. They told me jokes, talked about school, tv, music, basically everything. High school starting to become a great place filled with great people that are well mannered. I loved junior high school, everyone, the teachers and my classmates, have helped me become the person I am today. They guided me step by step so I'll be ready for high school. Without them, I'd be nothing. Thanks to all the people who have been part of my life.

High school, End of summer, and Music.

High school.
It's always been somewhere I've anticipated to go to. But, it's obviously different from what I imagined it to be. No one really cares about you. You're on your own. There's no one there to guide you and lead you through like in elementary and middle school. I guess it's the first stop I have to take before becoming an adult.

Well, Midwood isn't that bad. It isn't the best high school, but it does have a good reputation. It's a pretty big school, and it's over crowded. I've always been one of the tall ones back in middle school, but in high school, I'm just average. The juniors and seniors are all like 10 feet tall! I've met a few nice people in my classes, and some people from my 8th grade class go to my school too.

School's pretty strict here, you can't be absent, unless there's a doctor's note, but they still take points off. When we have science lab, we have to go to school two periods earlier, which is 7:50 for me, and I get out at the usual time, 4:05. I usually start at 9:30, but since first period is lunch, I could go at 10:15, and start second. They give a lot of homework everyday, and I'm like really tired everyday. I need a vacation. And school just started.

Tonight's my last day of summer. Fall's starting tomorrow, and I'm definately not in the mood for it. Fall's my least favorite season. I much prefer winter or summer.

My favorite songs this month definately are Selena Gomez's Falling Down and Stephanie Cheng's
借. And when I'm sitting down listening to these songs, it means I am once again procasinating and not doing my homework.

Miss Hong Kong 2009 Thoughts

This year's results.
Were very satisfying.
But, the overall quality.
Of the contestants.
Were HORRIBLE.




Even though, I love the Top 3, Sandy Lau, Germaine Li and Mizuni Hung, honestly, the 10 contestants, were the worst I've ever seen. Some of them are ordinary, average, and you can't call them ugly, but some of them, were even below ordinary and average. Not trying to offend any of them, or their fans, everything is my own opinion.

Least Attractive Contestants:
7. Mandy Chung
2. Esther Lam
5. Winnie Ma

I don't undertand all the netizens love and support towards Esther. Although, she isn't the least attractive, but I don't see any intelligence, inner or outer beauty from her. I just see her as being very conceited and self centered once the netizens began giving her tons of support.

Most Attractive Contestants:
9. Candy Yuen
10. Germaine Li
4. Sandy Lau

Candy has amazing features and is very photogenic. I agree with Eric Tsang with saying that if Sandra Ng wasn't the one who reccomended her, she might have been in the Top 3. But, Candy is not my favorite, cause like Esther, she is also very conceited and thinks highly of herself. That's why I like Germaine. Cause she seems very modest and she's from New York. LOLS.

My Favorite Contestants:
8. Mizuni Hung
10. Germaine Li
6. Carly Wong

I love Mizuni. She has such a beautiful and exotic face, and she deserves to be placed in the Top 3. Mizuni's body figure has gotten so much better the past three months, and it's because of her hard work. Carly is probably the most intelligent contestant. She is getting her doctorate degree and she's only 24. What an amazing girl. Carly is also very sweet looking, although, I do not think she deserved Miss International Goodwill.

Top 3 Placements and Special Awards:
Winner: Sandy Lau
1st Runner Up: Germaine Li
2nd Runner Up: Mizuni Hung
Miss International Goodwill: Carly Wong
Miss Photogenic: Candy Wong
Tourism Ambassador Award: Carly Wong
Miss Trendy Vision: Mizuni Hung

Unlike 2008's results, I wouldn't want to change this years results. I felt that the top 3 deserved what they got. Sandy's performance was great from beginning to end, Germaine answered wonderfully to the hosts and Mizuni's hard work definitely paid off. Candy obviously earned Miss Photogenic, but Miss International Goodwill belongs to Mizuni. If any of you watched, "美麗告白", you'd know that most contestants are grateful of Mizuni and all she has done for them. But, overall, this year's results are pretty good, and Congratulations to all the award winners.

Janice Man, Angelababy, and my last week of summer break.

Well, I'm up to my final week of summer break, but I honestly don't feel the summer mood here in New York. It's really dull here, and the weather isn't as hot as Hong Kong's. Even though, I don't mind the mild weather, that may get a tad chilly, it makes me not want to return to school.

Anyway, it seems to me that, Angelababy has returned back to her awesome brown hair! I feel that brown hair seems to be better for Angelababy's skin tone. The jet black suits Janice Man more.














Janice Man is definitely getting prettier by the day.
