Happy New Year everyone, whether you're Chinese, Vietnamese or not. In the upcoming year, I hope everyone will have an enjoyable, happy, lucky, bright, healthy, full of promotions, no regret, and smooth year. Lets have an incredible year, with all wishes come true!!!! MONEY RUSHES IN NONSTOP!!! xD For those who celebrate this holiday, hope you guys win lots of gambling money, and gets lots of red envelopes xDt

Another famous gambling game during Chinese New Year is Horse Race Chess. This game can be played by four people. Each has a team of four horses in different colors (red, blue, yellow, red). In the game, each person take turn to role two dice, and the number comes out as result determines the number of steps the his or her horse can go. The goal is to get your horses into the cage fastest. Once a person get all their horses in the cage, the game ends, and the everyone else have to pay for each of their horse that is not yet all the way in the cage. When you kick another player's horse, you that person will have to pay you in order to get their horse back. It's one of my favorite game, but takes a lot of time to finish. Even though it looks simple, because other horses will keep kicking your horse out of the game, it takes forever to finish. A game approximately last 45 minutes or more (sometimes a little less). And according to the plan, i'll be playing this game today xD kekekekek everyone wish me win lots lots lots lots lots of MONEYYYYYY :)) 

HAPPY NEW YEAR~~

YO YO YO, Happy New Year Everyone. When Lunar New Year is mention, GAMBLING can not be left out. Yesterday, my whole family stayed up until midnight playing Bau Cua Ca Cop, thirteen, and poker. For those who don't know, bau cua ca cop is similar to the american Crown and Anchor. Three dice with pictures of fish, prawn, rooster, calabash gourd, and stag are used; and the played bet their money on which picture will appear. It's one of those game where you can win a lot fast, but loose more faster. I lost most of my money including my lucky cash (red envelopes) T^T. I made a quick comeback however when we switch to play poker. I won even more when we switched to play thirteen. With all the money won, in the end, I have the same amount of money I started with. With that being said, the conclusion is, if u don't feel super lucky, just don't get yourself into bau cua ca ngua. xD

Goong S is about a Korean royalty, Lee Hoo who has been raised among commoners. His mother, a former princess escaped the Palace in oder to keep her protect her baby from the bad people among the government who wants the throne. After the throne's successor, her husband, died. The throne was left vacant. A candidate for the throne is one of the bad guy's son. At this time, Lee Hoo was found and brought back to the Palace by the Empress. However, being raised as a commoner, for him to transform into a royalty is no joke. Lee Hoo goes through many challenges and scandals in order to be recognize. He also has to compete with the other throne candidate. However, the problem is, his opponent receive more supports from the people and is better than him in almost all ways....

Goong used to be one of my least favorite drama because of it's dramatic plots. But surprisingly GoongS which is the season two of Goong is enjoyable. But then again... I'm only half way through the drama so there's no guarantee that the serie will still be good later on. BUT- one of the reason why GoongS is better than Goong is because Se7en is in it. For those who like Junsu from DBSK, you must also like Se7en's voice. I'm not saying he's better than Junsu, but definitely have a gorgeous voice. The story line of GoongS is also less dramatic (so far). Even though GoongS is second season of Goong, it's about a totally different story. So any one who have free time and is bored, this is also a good drama to check out. xD ~more descriptions on my next blog 

Feng Shui

Another wonderful weekend is about to be over. The first two days of my long weekend was awesome; doing nothing but chatting, eating, sleeping, and watching dramas. Until i made a mistake. i let my friend brought a book of Feng Shui over my house. My mom changed my sister's and my room all over to fit the book's recommendations. But the thing is... she started the moving around midnight!!!! That's not the end though. The day after, since my sister had to go to work, my mom, dad and me had to continue. But I guess it wouldn't be right for me to complain either, since i didn't help much. but after the rooms are rearranged. It has a different feel. I hope i'll be smarter with the new arrangement now!!! xD

First love*-My indescribable happy ending -______-

I can’t picture his face in my head anymore now. 

I met Mike during my freshman’s year at Gunderson. I have always thought he was really attractive, cute, cool, friendly, and has nice style. He was an upper-classman whom I respected and liked. We knew each other since my friends are friends to him. I can act myself comfortably when I’m with my friends, but to those i don’t know well, I’m very shy. Therefore, I could never brought myself to say hi to him especially when he was always hanging out with people I don’t know. There was no reason for us to talk to each other.  Until one time, out of no where, he said hi to me. And the day after, when I just got out of class, Mike was hanging out with my friends, and he ran over to said hi to me, and talked for a while. As we talked, I realized that he was also shy and quiet in a way. Gradually after that day, we became friendlier; and talked more often to each other. He was very different from me: more mature, outgoing, doesn’t say stupid things, and good at sports. He can do many things that I could never do then. More than just simply like, I looked up to him and respected him a lot. The only similarity we shared was our passion for asian music. But my style of music and his was also different. While he listen to a lot of love songs that goes in slow melodies, those kinds of song simply put me into sleep. In other word, I guess he was more romantic than i am. Despite all the difference, talking to him make me happy. 

Later, I realized that he had a girlfriend. She was also pretty, smart, friendly and nice, better than me in every aspect. Even though it was a little disappointing to find out, I didn’t stop liking him. To me, dating the guy i like wasn’t important; top priority is to have fun, and since I had fun, it didn’t matter. I couldn’t tell Mike I like him, so I told him I respected him and look up to him very much. I didn’t want anyone to notice I like him. So sometimes I make up excuses and avoid conversations so that it wouldn’t look like I look forward to talking to him. But in my head I was regretting it. 

Then summer vacation came. I got a job at a community center and made many new friends. I was also busy with a college class. And eventually I unconsciously forgot about Mike. We still chat online from time to time accept I couldn’t remember his face anymore. I was also more confident when talking to him. A month after summer vacation, he broke up with his girlfriend. I met him in the mall a while after that. We talked for a while and he said he like me and asked if I would be his girlfriend. But everything also end here....

Consciously or unconsciously, people are always yearning for things that they don’t have. I probably liked Mike because he was out of my reach. But the moment Mike asked me out, I realized that I don’t like him anymore. So I told him I really respect him as my uper-classman. I was NEVER regretting my decision since i found out he got another girlfriend about one week after.......fesurgytaggajg%^#^^%$&^%

It's only the beginning of second semester and school is tense again. Maybe it's because of the fact that I wasn't good in one of class last semester that I feel very nervous about it this semester. I'm trying to be more confident. But before I can accomplish that, there is going to be a quiz this week. Oh gosh I'm freaking out right now. Even though I understand my lessons so far. I'm still not very confident. Please wish me luck everyoneee >.< 

Coming back to school was a real challenge. Considering how much i slept everyday during break, waking up early was more like a punishment. first day was tiring but at least I was more awake. But on tuesday, my sleep-debt grew and I was even more tired. I don't remember what day it was, but we were reading a story in english class. I tried so hard opening my eyes, but words were jumping around in my head, that i didn't even know what mr. Thompson was reading. And the next thing I know, my head was on the book. I couldn't help it. my next class was a bit different though. I can finish my work fast and sleep comfortably in that class. xD I hope i can be more awake next week. p.s: Mr. Thompson, I didn't stay up late partying, this is the reason xD

I can't believe break is going to be over in two days. Even though in earlier blog I mentioned not wanting to go back to school, I was somewhat missing school. But now that I'm going to have to go back to school, I don't want to. I miss break and the feeling of spending everyday not having to worry about school work. Going back to school, I won't be able to waste my day watching dramas after dramas, and listen to music. I want to be lazy some more. I'm also nervous about next semester since school is going to be harder. And in one class, I thought that first semester was already hard, I don't know how I'm going to do second semester. I have been sleeping until 12 or later; and having my breakfast at 2pm. But going back to school, I'm going to have to wake up at 6:3o!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a feeling that I'm going to be late on the first day. My goals for next semester are: to do well in math and get at least a B (A would be good though xD), to remember to do blogs, to actually get to class (1st per) on time more often, and to be able to keep myself away from distractions. I would like to seriously work hard next semester and stop disappoint my teacher with my tardiness. Talking about being tardy, I really can't figure why I was always late

love~composed with co-operation of some friends

Love is a game just meant to be played.

Love is a phrase just overly clichéd.

It's dominated by cheaters, players, and rule-breakers.

Where three words often said are lies spoken by fakers.

Love is an emotion and hormones are the cause.

Love is perfection that brings out your flaws.

Young ones are swayed into believing that it's real.

Soon concious of mistakes, next fear is what you feel.

Love is a wish desired by so many loners.

Love is a sight shown off by its owners.

It's a sad pathetic world when love is only wanted,

for the sake of having it, and for it to be flaunted.

Love is a drug, addictive and strong.

Love is a toy. and you're strung along.

The endings are painful, yet again you will start,

to end with more lies and tears, and another cruelly broken heart.

Love is a reason to be treated like dirt.

Love is an excuse, an excuse to get hurt.
