Aerial fabrics

I've seen them in various shows before but I didn't realize they had a name..... Well apparently Stanford has a class in this and my friend took me to their end of quarter showcase.

Pretty neat huh? A lot of them seemed dance-trained..... And I'm definitely too afraid of heights to attempt this!

interesting....

So last night I met this girl that's a roommate of my friend. And she's very interesting..... lol I think this is the 'new breed' of mainland Chinese I've been expecting.

She said she's wanted to do something related to fashion design or art for a career but her parents (profs) didn't think it was a good career option and then she got interested in medicine and went to medical school instead. And then she did rotations in gynecology and surgery but she was very angry at gynecology (retarded bfs of girls needing her help?) and liked surgery but her parents told her girls in surgery isn't 'good' for future family etc so she quit and came here to do international health policy. LOL, I really admire that she's got balls to go after all that.

And she likes making friends with ppl from all cultures/ nationalities...... <- I guess these are the type who are 'naturaly' good with ppl. She's never left her home city prior to a year ago and honestly I could never tell that.

AND the most 'heretic' thing she proclaimed is that 'she loves japan'. I'm pretty sure my parents would denounce me if I said that. (And also I don't think that) But yeah.... she makes things I've struggled with seem so easy lol

Anyways, I may have lost my iphone somewhere, kinda sad..... hopefully i'll find it :O

Recently I met up with some guy from a dating site..... I dunno.... I guess talking through Internet is very diff than in person? But yeah I dun think we have that much in common. Although a good thing is it re validates qualities I'm looking for?

And for some reason it's been painful for me to look at stuff / emails from like 2 years ago.... Cuz I feel like I've been wasting lots of time and wish could go back in time to slap some sense into myself..... Then again regret gets nobody anywhere.... So should try to do better now and not have more regrets in the future.... Sigh

I am kind of sad today..... I mean I get the feeling too from everyday life..... But how it's permeated everything is just annoying..... It's about I guess the 1.5 generation of immigrants..... Sometimes I wish I didn't know that much about either culture cuz when I talk to full cultured ppl on both sides they find faults with my thoughts what I'm saying or think I don't know enough about things that are very common for them....

And this is a pretty important factor for me with trying to find a guy too. Because I honestly think the super Americanized ones or the super Chinese-ified (is this a word?) don't agree with my world views. And the reason today pushed me off the edge is because I check this one forum sometimes.... To learn Chinese and see how the youth talks. And I posted something about Chinese culture on there that I found fascinating and thought they would too to make a nice discussion. And that forum can be hostile sometimes (cuz netizens, right). But I really try to filter my words when I talk there.... But still they didn't find my Chinese satisfactory and my insight wasn't deep enough for them (very basic knowledge they say). Even tho my parents and the other Chinese ppl around me don't know either. Maybe it's wrong for me to be so interested in Asian culture or at least try to interact with ppl in china..... But is it so wrong to want to learn about your roots and face hostility from both sides?

Soooo.... today I was on the bus..... there's tons of hs kids and it seems elementary school kids too here for summer camp. They are soooo cute!! And 2 boys were playing rock paper scissors but saying 'pikachu' the whole time..... kyaaaa

Actually..... that wasn't the point.... the actual reason for this blog is the two camp counselors who looked pretty young.... maybe around 20? one guy and one girl. And the guy was asking the girl about makeup? And the girl was saying how she doesn't wear any except mascara and blush or something. And then the guy was like "what's mascara used for?" and "do you just lift it?"

And then the girl was talking about eyeliner and how some ppl use it to line the top and bottom and the guy's like "you can line the bottom?" and the girl responds "yeah but I only do the top"

And the guy asked about "the sides" too for eyeliner..... I was just being so utterly amused at their conversation.... and how curious the guy is about makeup...... so guys really don't know anything about this?? I thought it was common knowledge O_O

Yo~
Haven't been here for a while.....
Anyways yesterday I met up with another old friend....who might be moving here with her husband! Yay!

They had interviews one in SF and one in San Jose..... and they were gonna stay in SF and then her husband drive her over early in the morning..... but then we decided that she was staying with me and I drive her cuz she doesn't like driving esp highways....O_O

He is so nice to her tho! So concerned for her and protective of her! lol

Unfortunately we also got a ticket parking..... but other than that I'm a pretty decent driver even without much sleep xD

and then we wandered around Japantown....but I think I'm finally over Japanese culture.... it's pretty kooky and crazy but not enough to hold my attention span anymore xDD (ok so maybe I still watch some shows)

AND the main reason I wanted to go with her was to check out Lush!!! Except we didn't have a chance to pass by.....so I'll have to make another trip soon. I need to make a list of what I want to get tho....so far I wanna try out the shampoo and conditioner bars.... and maybe something for the face.....

My dad gives wonderful advice about everything! Including love xDDD I love him soooo much!!!!

And yeah.... it's time to throw all those romance novels out the window because everything I 'thought' I'd learned from them.... well I still can't take it in real life and it's completely different. I still can't look at everything objectively.....

Also I might never find a guy for me....hurrah!
