wellllll
i really have nothing to say now. would you like to read a letter from frederick douglass to harriet tubman? its rather well written:
Letter from Frederick Douglass.
ROCHESTER, August 29, 1868

DEAR HARRIET: I am glad to know that the story of your eventful life has been written by a kind lady, and that the same is soon to be published. You ask for what you do not need when you call upon me for a word of commendation. I need such words from you far more than you can need them from me, especially where your superior labors and devotion to the cause of the lately enslaved of our land are known as I know them. The difference between us is very marked. Most that I have done and suffered in the service of our cause has been in public, and I have received much encouragement at every step of the way. You, on the other hand, have labored in a private way. I have wrought in the day—you in the night. I have had the applause of the crowd and the satisfaction that comes of being approved by the multitude, while the most that you have done has been witnessed by a few trembling, scarred, and foot-sore bondmen and women, whom you have led out of the house of bondage, and whose heartfelt “God bless you” has been your only reward. The midnight sky and the silent stars have been the witnesses of your devotion to freedom and of your heroism. Excepting John Brown—of sacred memory—I know of no one who has willingly encountered more perils and hardships to serve our enslaved people than you have. Much that you have done would seem improbable to, those who do not know you as I know you. It is to me a great pleasure and a great privilege to bear testimony to your character and your works, and to say to those to whom you may come, that I regard you in every way truthful and trustworthy.

Your friend,

FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

its sunday today and i did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. other than a page of theory. actually, i will aim for one page of theory a day. at least then, i would be able to get 465 pages done in the next year. and that would actually be A LOT of progress.
arrghh why am i talking about this? i got a new DVD player today! and i got some food. now that i have a WORKING dvd player, i can burn discs and be able to play them on the tv and not watch everything on the computer. thats certainly nice.
oh my mom made me download and burn rebecca. the really REALLY old movie rebecca. not that i mind. i love old movies. i just dont understand the need to see new movies for most teenages. ahem, i am so NOT talking about you anne! well, u're part of it, but im talking within a wider range!

speaking of my mom's birthday, my own birthday will be coming up in exactly 3 months tmw.

WHOOT BLOG NUMBE 50. thats a rather large number.
i should send these blogs to mr olson now. i dont remember my last blog send. should send it to him everyday.
my piano lesson went relatively well today. gotta play more scales, memorize more. i think i am able to pass the test in june. theres still exactly 60 days left. i'll play around 1.5 hours each day.
hmm
mr martin talked to us about the camping trip that he's planning! we're leaning VERY HEAVILY towards the 2-3 day one. it costs 180 dollars, and its after school ends, but HEY, i dont care. i love camping trips. tho it is a few days before my piano exam. i think i talk about it everyday now. WHY IS PIANO SO STRESSFUL? if i were taking violin lessons, i think i would collapse. geez...why wont my mom let me quit chinese?? i suck at chinese. i have no talent in chinese. its just...IMPOSSIBLE. i know i know its important, but it really seems that i havent improved in 3 years! cant remember a single character for more than a week. actually, after i learned a new word, after around 2 days, its gone out of my head. as they say in chinese, through one ear, other the other. or, in my case, through one eye and out the other. im just not DIGESTING it.

today is a day 2. we're learning tangent, cosine, and sine. arrgh trig. actually i dont find it hard. i just couldnt figure out the different between angle of elevation and depression. mr stuart never told us! i had to figure it out all by myself. teachers are there to teach us stuff, not make us figure it out when i could've saved us so much time! hey!

well, nothing to talk about. im going to sleep.

i love i love i love gone with the wind. i even borrowed the book. and i am determined to finish the book. its very long though. extremely extremely long.
and i wished there was a sequel. unfortunately, margaret mitchell didnt want to write a sequel, no matter the amount of protest. this sucks. another guy wrote the sequel instead. it was called "Scarlett". the plot was okay, but when i read about it on wikipedia, it still didnt feel the same. actually, if i thought that margaret mitchell had written it, i would have been excited like a chicken. unfortunately, its not. margaret mitchell just had to die. DAMN DEATH. hummph

kevjumba videos on youtube are HILARIOUS.
my favourite is the one about...his rash. well, actually, i'll tell u the story:
One day, while he was playing beach soccer with his friends at the beach, he came home with a rash that itched all over his body. he asked his mom for help. his mom, being the kind tradition chinese lady, told him to rub ice all over his body. so, he did. it helped the itching, for 10 minutes. then it started itching all over again. once again he asked his mom for help. his mom said to rub fruit over his body. she gave him a piece of cantelope, and he obeyed. he was desperate at the time. well, the cantelope didn't help. his skin started itching in 5 minutes. he asked his mother again for help. this time, he asked her for REAL medication, not old chinese remedies. she gave him anti-fungal powder. he told his mom what it was, and his mom started rummaging in the medicine cupboard again. then, in prob 1 hour, she ran to him, excited, telling him that she's found the perfect medication. well, he asked his mom, can she give it to him? she handed it to him. it said "VAGINAL CREAM" on the tube. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. well, i think he ended up rummaging in his cupboard himself.
anyways, i thought it was THE MOST HILARIOUS STORY ive ever heard. actually, i shouldnt have told it to u. u should i watched it. heres the link:

today was the sun run. im actually pretty happy with my time. we (karen, anne, and i) ran 3.5/10 of the sun run, and got 40 minutes faster than our last year's time. what's more, this year, we're actually less tired. last year, after walking 2 hours, we sat on the floor of the GM place cuz our legs gave out under us. this year, we felt...normal. we even went to subway first before we got home. that's extra walking. last year, we didnt feel AT ALL like extra walking.
remember yesterday, i said that i needed to finish 3/4 of my science travel booklet? well, guess what i did right after i got home (at 2 oclock)? i watched GONE WITH THE WIND!!! ooh that is exactly the same as doing my science travel booklet. NOT. well, it was good though. really good. i love gone with the wind. i would marry it if i could lol. not really. karen likes to make that joke. when i say i love something, she asks me whether i would like to marry it.
gone with the wind...lalalalalalala i love the song. theres tara's theme (google it) that has a really nice, smooth, calming melody. nothing can compare to it.
oh and i DID get 3/4ths of my science travel brochure even after watching so much tv. see how much i finished this week? its amazing, isnt it? its amazing how much u can do when you're not reading fanfiction or watching kevjumba / nigahiga on youtube.

i took my chinese exam today. it was quite an easy test, but...i did worse than everyone else. really. i am 100% sure i lack some kind of language skill. i feel linguistally retarded.
but...i have a piano lesson after this. i had to reschedule my piano lesson to tonight becuz of the dinner and movie last night. im not saying that i regret it. its just that this week is going to be ONE HECK OF A BUSY ONE.
well, as i recall saying, i had dinner and movie at oakridge from 4-9 (karen and i got there at 4 oclock and ate before going to white spot. i was too hungry to wait for 5:30, so i bought jelly doughnuts from safeway.) this left no time for homework whatsoever
on saturday, i had french school, studied for chinese exam after french school till the start of chinese school at 3 oclock, went to chinese school from 3 to 6 oclock, practiced piano from 6 to 7, then had piano lesson from 7 to 8. its THREE; I REPEAT THREE lessons in one day.french school - 2 hours; chinese school - 3 hours; piano lesson - 1 hour. huumph. no one can say their life is busing than theirs.
oh and tomorrow, im gonna do the sun run with karen and anne, and do at least 3/4ths of my science travel booklet. that is actually a lot of work, since i haven't started on it at all.

hmm i watched another movie today. an affair to remember. its very old, but its rated one of the top 5 romance movies. #1 being casablanca, #2 being titanic, #3 wuthering heights #4 an affair to remember #5 gone with the wind. if i were in charge of that list, i would put #1 gone with the wind, #2 titanic, #3 casablanca, #4 wuthering heights, and #5 affair to remember. affair to remember wasnt that good. i think ghost (which is in #10) could beat it easily. what was so good about an affair to remember? it was the typical story. girl (who is taken) means guy. they fall in love within the 3 or 4 days that they spend on a cruise ship. girl goes back to her original guy. after 6 months, they decide to meet, cuz girl decides to ditch her original boyfriend. girl is stopped from going to meeting place because of an accident. guy becomes crestfallen. a few months later, they meet coincidentally in an opera. guy find girl to satify his curiosity. they get together. the end. i actually think its quite boring.

oooh god
gotta study for year-end test soon. for science, anyways. i think i forgot basically EVERYTHING.
i can believe grade 9 is ending already. it seems just a month ago that summer was ending and school was just starting. woah time goes by fast. but it's not cuz im having fun. its just that i grow up too quickly. years go my much slower when ure a child. i can distincly remember what happened in grade 5 and what happened in grade 4, but i tend to blend my grade 6 and 7 years together. i also tend to blend last year into this year, somewhat.

today, i actually analysed the word "Trust" and what it entails.
Trust actually is not a wholly good thing. it can leave you feeling deceived, betrayed. yet, we cannot live without it. without trust, u cannot cooperate with other people. u'll have to do everything on your own. actually, u won't be able to do anything. when you buy a computer, per say, u might think that the sales person is selling u a faulty computer with a hard drive missing. or if u want to go to an interview for a job, u might think that the interviewer is making up everything he says and actually would pay u half of what ur salary is supposed to be. and ecetra.

I was watching the Tyra Show today. basically, a 24-inch woman gave birth to an 18-inch baby girl. oooofff that's gotta be something. well, it turns out she didn't do it the natural way. cross section. I DO NOT WANT A CROSS SECTION WHEN I GO INTO LABOUR. that would me one huge HUGE scar across my stomache. uurrrghhh. i shudder at the thought. i already have more scars than normal people. well, maybe not, but i already have enough scars to last me a lifetime.
hmm i missed the chinese exam last week due to the science fair. now i'll have to do with without the help of my classmates. this sucks.

I LOVE THE MOVIE GHOST!!!! ITS SOOO GOOD. oh and unchained melody the song is really good too!! i changed the lines to french (i'll still have to change it cuz of the many sylabols, and i think a lot of it is grammarically incorrect):

oooh...mon amour
ma cheri
j'ai faim pour ton contact
le temp long et isole
et le temps va tellement lent
et le temps peux faire tellement
est-ce que vous etes extrayez toujours?
j'ai besoin de ton amour

"godspeed" ton amour a moi

les riviers isole "flow" a la mer,
a la mer
a les bras "open" de la mere
les reviers isole "sigh" 'attend pour moi, attend pour moi'
je vais venir a chez moi, attend pour moi

oooh...mon amour

i was watching a tv documentary about polygamy today. its simply disgusting! usually,the stepmothers are younger than their step daughters. european cultures also allow polygamy. right now, if a person married more than one person at a time, it would be considered OUTRAGOUS. even kissing someone while dating someone else is called cheating now. imagine the reactions of polygamy in the present world!

did u noe that french has 17 tenses? i think 3 tenses is enough for any language. actually, chinese has only 1. they just add "long ago" or "a few days ago" or "hours ago" or "a few days later" or "right now" or "20 years in the future" in front of sentences that they want to express a feeling of the past or future. wish every language was like that. but nooooooooo theres the passe, the inparfait, the futur proche, the futur simple, present (but this is crucial) and 12 others that i dont noe of.
