Everyone has the exact love life they want.

Hard to believe, but with deep thought it's actually true. If you're miserable and alone it's probably because you make it that way with your actions and thoughts. If you want to be happy, it's rather simple but difficult to do. If you're looking to win back a lost love, just figure out what went wrong before and change yourself if you're willing to make it work again. Show your lost love what you've done and how you've changed, but most of all how committed you are to making it work the second time. If you're looking to win an admirer just get to know them and if you deem them compatible..ask them on a simple hang out or date. If that doesn't work move on. If you're looking to save a current relationship from a breakup, it's the easiest. Communication. talk to them about what's wrong with the relationship and you can decide if it's worth changing yourselves and saving the relationship. It's not difficult to have a fullfilling love life. It's all in what you think and what you do or do not do with those thoughts.

I'm reading The Notebook currently. The movie..the book...the whole true love story has so many memories connected with it.

A truly great tale has roots in people's lives, so they can feel personally touched when such a novel stirs up emotions that they have tried to suppress. I'll never forget my memories that are connected to that story no matter how painful. The first time I watched the movie, people cried around me, but I didn't grasp the emotion at that time. The second time was on the plane on my way to China. Emotions hit me hard and so did the memories. Sure, it's just another tale of how true love always wins out, but I guess the real stories that touch you are the ones you feel a connection to.

Anyways...in my dream last night...I dreamed I ate dumplings...vegetable dumplings...pretty unappealing.

What a stressful week...I have to take all my mid-terms tomorrow and then 6 am Wednesday morning, I'm heading for my yellow homeland and I won't be back til....probably late new year's eve or early new year's day...I'm going to miss America, especially the John...

Ahhh..love...what a wonderful thing :o) I've discovered it wasn't ever meant to be anything but wonderful...sure it's hard at times, but it's the reason life exists. Love's great and so is everything and everyone else in the world right now!!! The white daisy makes me so jolly!

Merry Christmas and may you all have someone to hold and cherish when the New Year rings in... :o)

The Analysis of the Chinese Parent

Ever wonder why you think of....a clumsy, unnattractive nerd with horrid clothing and thick glasses...when you hear "Chinese student?" Easy, the monstrous psychotic parents behind the image.

Chinese parents are too perturbed with their own unhappy marriages, life, and overall achievements to let their children live happy lives. They have a need to compare their children. Stereotypes have Chinese children being great masters at the piano and violin, not even mentioning the perfect score on SATs.

An Inside Look into the Greatness

How do they do it? The perfect GPAs, SAT scores, first prize at piano competitions? The parents and some DNA characteristics. Chinese parents are usually unattractive, unstylish, and just overall unappealing. They pass these traits on to their children who are not allowed to go beyond the minimal grooming and style requirements. With the time that most Americans put into makeup and style, Chinese adolescents study for the SATs! Why?! So their insane parents can make meaning to their own lives by comparing their scores to other miserable Chinese parents! A great status is earned in the Chinese community if their child has a high SAT score, major bonuses if they can play piano.

So..I got my PSAT scores back...first thing my mom and dad did was.."blah blah blah...how is this going to look to our Chinese friends?!?...!!!"   They were high to me...I thought they were pretty good.Who cares? My scores will be high enough to get into Vanderbilt, I have clubs and band, and if I can make all state before I graduate..I'm sure to get a scholarship. So..the question arises...Why do I need  a Perfect Score if I can get into the school I want...?? I don't need to waste all my free time studying when there's no chance I can afford to pay like..half a million dollars to go to an Ivy League school..the only schools that need a perfect score to get into. I just would like to live a healthy and memorable high school experience...even if I have to sacrifice the..Perfect Score...dun dun dun ;)
