wowow. train station is so fun. lots and lots of shopping and everything. ozmgomogmzomgom. and school girls everywhere. harhar. japanese stuff everywhere too! like hyde posters and lots and lots of cds. kind of. not really. but omgomogmg. yayayay!

hi everybody. i am in taiwan now. and it's really hot. and its strange that im not getting attacked by mosquitoes as much as i thought i would be. i only have 2 bites. and one of them i got on the airplane. really odd. anyways. i think they aren't biting because it is so hot. because the temperature here is as hot as human body. 36 C, i think?. yea. its like 37 here. so mosquitoes probably cant tell what is a human and what isn't. and taiwan is cool because it has car elevators. and the parking is multileveled within one level. the people here are interesting also. they talk all flirty kind of. and they always keep up with latest trends. and whatever. bye.

quick post before i leave.




theres nothing to say.
bye.

okay, so i watched scrap heaven. which is some japanese movie. with chiaki kuriyama(!!!). and joe odagiri. or whatever his name is. basically. the story makes no sense at all. its really artistic and i think it has lots of symbolism and comments about the world today. but i watched the first half while drinking red bull. and the 2nd half while on aim. so really. i didn't get much out of it. basic storyline: there are three people. they meet up randomly. and they are sick of their lives, jobs, and the world around them. one guy is a policeman. the other guy is a toilet cleaner. the girl is a pharmacist. and yea. boring lives. toilet guy runs a service. called the revenge service. he graffitis the bathrooms he cleans. and leaves messages to meet at this public bathroom where people go in one stall. and talk to him who is in another stall. and ask him to take revenge on people. so he does. because he is sick of people. police guy eventually joins in. and the girl has some random story about building bombs or something. to take revenge on everything. and yea. thats about it. i was very disappointed. because chiaki kuriyama doesn't appear a lot. but she did. and shes missing an eye! in this movie. her eyeball falls out randomly. and no one helps her. thats why shes bitter. i think. people are too afraid to do things.



oh yea. and i leave for taiwan tomorrow. so this might be my last post for a month and a half. or something like that.

for the sake of an update. and because i dont know what to update with. here's the second piece in my concentration portfolio for art ap. its the second so i still didn't really know what my 'concentration' was at that time. apparently it turned into architecture with "surreal" feelings. whatever that means. its funny because i dont even have most of my artworks.

i only played warcraft 3 until 5 in the morning today/yesterday night. and wow it was so fun!

GOOD GAME! I LOVE WARCRAFT 3!!! 5 hours of one game! so exhausted!

f a t s h e e p1 (3:46:28 AM): how come hella ppl are still on AIM
azN xrE taRD BOI (3:46:35 AM): its summer
f a t s h e e p1 (3:46:39 AM): rofl
f a t s h e e p1 (3:46:43 AM): too bad its still like wtf
f a t s h e e p1 (3:46:47 AM): unless u have a good reason
f a t s h e e p1 (3:46:49 AM): like we did
f a t s h e e p1 (3:46:51 AM): to slay baal

so i decided i would go play some warcraft 3 because i miss that game a lot. so i play. and join a footmen game. apparently host wants 1v1. so i go why not. and we start. and he gets a dreadlord hero. i did random and got the tauren guy. so i walk over and kill his units. and hes like omgomg and he attacks me. and i kill all his units. and then theres fighting and stuff. and eventually i get war stomp so i can stun and i have that shockwave thing. and i run faster than the dreadlord. so i kill his hero easily. and he starts bitching and crying and being like 'fuker! wuts ur problem?'!! and all that other junk. and hes acting like a 12 year old. and hes like 'pussy, come to my base'. so i did and i killed him. except i didn't kill him. he started crying and being like 'i give up. get out.' so i did get out. and then he copied my strategy in training and stuff. and he got infernals so he started killing me. and he was like 'lololol ur a n00b'. and then i left the game because hes an annoying 12 year old. oh well. thats my adventure of the day.

and i was thinking about family values tour. and how different korn and dir en grey are. not really different in style. but like. korn plays songs from all their albums. like blind. (which was their first song.) and dir en grey just moves on and only plays newer songs. the furthest back is about like 2 albums. but i was wondering what korn thinks. because they could be like nothing they make is better than before. and its not improvement. since dir en grey drops everything old, they are like always improving. so it shows that they have more confidence in their stuff. maybe? i dont know. but i like old dir en grey. so maybe korn does it so everyone can enjoy their favorite era or whatever. everyone should be like shiina ringo and do both. change style. but play old songs in new style.

and it is so hot. car said it was 107 outside. alkgwjrlkg.

it is too hot to live. just kidding. you are too hot to live. the sun is too hot.

i think driving to uop is a lot like driving down to la. lots of hills. lots of dry grass on hills. and long roads. and both even use highway 5 at some point. just different directions. except uop road is more crowded so its slower. and its hotter. thats why i saw some random fire in the dry grass today. anyways. uop orientation was good. interesting people. completely different than what i thought. very nice and friendly. but probably all fake. oh well. its okay. because i got a lot of free stuff from uop! like backpack. and pen! and lanyards. and some philosophy book called 'utopia'. yes. uop is so philosophical. everything is about philosophy and discussion and they really like that stuff. especially in that honors stuff. oh well. they say 'utopia' is summer reading or something. but no one is going to read it. so being the nonconformist i am. i think i will read it on the plane flight to taiwan. that is in 6 days. yay.

my favorite numbers are 24 and 2. 24 because it is the number of hours in the day. and 2 because i am not number 1. so i guess i should be the next number. but that just makes me miserable and everything bad. i love being abused. i hate myself.

so i cleaned out my room. and threw away all the work from the 4 years of high school. apparently theres a lot of it under my bed. so i looked through all those maps drawn for bergantz's class, all the early morning extra credit math contests, all the aguilera tests i failed (43%?! ha), all the drawings done in japanese class, all the colorful worksheets from chemistry, all the lecture packs from apush, and almost every single assignment from every class. and i realize that its all over. so i throw it all away. the end.

i also found a "writer's workshop" notebook from 8th grade. which had stupid writing in it. because the teacher never read our writing. just checked to see if i had 1/2 page each day. so i wrote about the lamest things. kind of like a blog. i threw that away also. hm. apparently not. and all the writing was in pencil, so its fading. i should get an artist to restore it. because it is art. here is a sample entry:

Home entry 3/18/02 Monday

and it got progressively messier and became cursive as it neared the end. but i still got my points for it. it was stamped. and i hate that. becuase i cant read some of my entries from the stamps. guh.

wow. i am having so much fun with this. i already had my blog abilities as an 8th grader! yayay! anyways today i also swam. and i realized i am weak. and i need to untan.

hypnotism is the creepiest thing in the world. they had some guy hypnotizing people at grad night. and they got all freaky and were taking off their clothes and screaming strange things. and sticking other people's socks down pants. yea. this post is too long. i need to go to costco.

hi, yesterday i didn't turn on my computer at all. major accomplishment. and today i am graduating. bye.

so, today my copy of fra-foa's chuu no fuchi arrived. limited edition version. great condition. and its like impossible to find. mmm. took me forever to communicate to some random guy in japan and he agreed to sell me his copy. omgomggom! and in the package he left a note that said

Dear Abraham Chang

Thank you for buying fra-foa CD. I
hope this makes you and your life
more happy!

i guess hes writing all that because hes happy to have my business. but omgomg its so good. because it really will make my life more happy! i can now have my raw condensed emotion in perfect lossless audio. so happy.

anyways. school is completely over now. and i guess i should make a long list of all the memorable things that happened these four years. but that would take too long. and most readers would be like 'wtf' to most of it because they weren't part of the experience. and also, i think that good memories dont really need to be written down. if they are good, then they won't be forgotten. i think. and i cant claim i will miss everyone. but i will miss some people. oh well.

last day of school. i hope i never see any of your faces again. too bad i will because there is still graduation on thursday at the rose garden at 6 pm. and there is grad night to the next day. or something. then we can all be sad and listen to vitamin c and reminisce our past and cry and smile at the same time. because parting times are like the most weirdest feelings ever. wtf. it doesn't seem like it ended. i didn't even get to drink a dr pepper today. oh well.

at least it wasn't a sad ending.
it was quite happy actually.
funny, too.
my fish died today. its about time.
where are all my orders!?
i pretend to be strong.
kill me by your hands.
ill kill you completely.
clouds constantly change.
there were like calcium deposits on the tank.
maybe that killed my fish.
i pretend to be weak.
tomorrow is the last day of school.

wtf? i dont know either.

yay chinese school graduation. diploma is authentic chinese school. they spelled chinese wrong. as they did for two other words. how cool. oh well.

so. today i went to doctor to get my shots for college. and it was odd. because usually i dont feel weird. but i felt so sick during the tb test. oh well. and then apparently i needed to get my blood tested also. so they stabbed this awesome thing into me. it has a stabbing thing and it connects to the container. and they switch containers when one is filled. since i needed to get 2 blood tests, they used 2 containers. isn't that so interesting? yes i watched them do the whole thing. and i was so fascinated. and my stomach felt bad. oh well. i came home and ate seaweed. and there is only 1 day left of high school! its quite sad. sigh.

today is the last thursday of high school. and tomorrow is the last friday of high school. cry more please. yea i think i will.

this year's yearbook sucks. but that means there are a bunch of pages that can be written over. after all, we seem to not get extra pages this year. or a cover. but that is okay. because i dont know. people write such cool things. its so happy and sad at the same time. they make me smile. i hope i am able to remember people more this year. its strange how people seem to be more considerate to people's yearbooks this year. instead of writing in huge text or drawing penises everywhere, people are writing in imaginary boxes! and signing their name in legible writing. except max, who signed "gackt" instead of his name. sigh. i looked at old yearbooks, and i dont remember a lot of people because they write too messily. blah, its okay. as long as i remember everyone now. i think. i dont know. the most times ive ever been featured in a yearbook is twice. that was in sophomore year. one was the class picture and then the swimming picture. but other than that, its always just class picture. how sad. oh well. i can make friends with those random people that attempt to friend me on facebook.

so apparently today is the end of the world. since it is the devil's day. but nothing really happened. except senior ditch day. but i didn't not go to school. because i have to attend stats class or i cant get points. that goes on until wednesday. and then thursday and friday, i have to go to english class or i lose points. so sighsihgsigh. oh well. the world should just end. or not. but its not happening. maybe in another 100 years. i wonder. i like how its harder to keep gpa up on 2nd semester senior year. oh well.

so, um. im trying to make a 5-8 minute movie out of 13 minutes of footage. this is english final. and it shouldn't be hard. but i seem to be having lots of trouble. mainly because around 2 minutes of the footage is the sky and sun. and 2 minutes are of people playing jenga. and uh. people drinking water. and stuff like that. no dialogue. only me and other people talking in the background. but! i will succeed and make a marvelous movie that is so profound and deep that everyone will be so amazed. even when it is only useless clips. sigh. but i wont. but we did see a wild snake while filming. so that took up another 2 minutes of footage. GLWKRHGLK.

and all this graduation talk. why cant they make it seem happy!? instead it feels so depressing. like how we are all going to leave each other and stuff. awrlkjgalg. i dont want them to talk about that! life is sad.

yea i failed. i had a 1/2 hour nap. sighsigh.

is it possible to function and survive a day with only 1 hour of sleep? hm. maybe. i think i will do that. naps screw up sleep schedule anyways. im going to have a good sleep tonight. karaoke is great. but songs are very long. and they are in english! 3 large cups of dr. pepper is great also. each is the size of a normal $1 bottle from vending machine. mmm. lots of pissing. and thats about 200 mg of caffeine. is that a lot? i think it is. lots of twitching and happiness. i guess thats why i couldn't sleep. but now its all gone and pissed out. or absorbed and used up. i dont know how caffeine works. but no more high. so that means tired. but it is already time to not sleep. so no sleep. and did you know senior ball lasted until 12 in the morning? thats so late! way past my bedtime. and there was so much stuff to do after also! and apparently the song was by ne-yo.

VERY busy weekend. i would elaborate. but i am so busy.! not really. but i like to think i am.

html must be the most emo computer language ever. because at the end of emo and angry and stupid posts in blogs, people always put like [/rant] or [/sadness] or [/sarcasm] or something like that. eh.

so. its weird. yesterday, this friend that i met at summer school 2 or 3 years ago imed me and we started talking about college and stuff. and since college is life and life is facebook, he asked me if i had a facebook. so i reply yes. and then hes going to add me as a friend. but there was a pause. and he was like 'harhar. i forgot your name'. or something like that. but he forgot my name!!! so i was laughing. and then i realized, i forgot his name also. i just knew it started with a 'd'. and thats all. (but i didn't tell him that.) i thought that was weird. but we learned each others names again. so life is good. i think. but huh. its going to be weird with everyone gone soon. i only know 3 people at uop. plus 1 more, if you count that random calc3 girl that i met at honors day. huh. oh well. i guess i will forget everyone's names. and a few days ago. this japanese friend that went back to japan after 8th grade was online. which he hasn't been online since 9th grade. so i imed him. but he doesn't talk back! SO LAME! wtfwtf! i bet he forgot me. oh well. i'm glad i dont make many friends. i think. maybe not. i dont know.
