Another bubble tea related post: today, before we went to the gym, David and I stopped by to get some lunch, but I wasn't hungry, just craving a nice cool up of pearl milk tea. The place that I got it from before didn't have it today, so I went to the one a little further down the street. I got a giant cup of it. It was disgusting. I took about 3 sips of it and left the rest at the restaurant we ate at. I should have known that it was gonna be gross when I saw the girl put spoonfuls of milk *powder* into my drink, and then served it a cup that had fruit mush on the cap. I don't think she stirred it up well enough, either unless drinks are supposed to be crunchy.

The bubble tea test? How appropriate...

Big e-mail numero dos, June 17
Happy Father's Day!

You kids didn't forget about that, did you?

Anyway, how have you all been? It's been awhile, and I apologize. I don't realy get a chance to write e-mails here mainly because I can only do it late at night so I don't tie up the phone line, but I'm tired late at night, hence, no emails. Lo siento.

Speaking of late, it is currently 1:36 in the morning, meaning that for most of you, it would be 12:36 in the afternoon, or unless your name is Sivan and you live in California where it is 10:36. Ahem. But I digress, moving on...

Chinese school started earlier this month. It sucks royal ass. But hey, two more weeks and I won't have to deal with it again. Ever. Besides, I get to be in the same class with the coolest 9 year-old kids ever!!! It's actually not *that* bad. Two other girls (one 16 and one 19) and I get along pretty well, so we just talk most of the time and laugh at the little kids. We laugh at them to make ourselves feel better for being in 3rd grade level Chinese to begin with. David's taking Chinese also. This part is for the asian: They are trying to teach him zhu-yin and the 4 tones all in one month. I *still* get confused with that crap. Anyway... So yeah. That's the whole chinese school shindig thing. Dave-o and I acutually have a pretty good rutine going on now. I wake up and take a shower, then I wake him up, and then we leave, walk to the 7-11 (Taiwan has gone 7-11 frenzy here) across the street to get breakfast, then walk to the bus stop. Then take the 644 bus to where our chinese school is. Then afterwards, we get lunch and take the subway to Gold's Gym. Oh yeah, We signed up to the gym here. It's really nice. Expensive, but nice. And I'm acutally keeping that promise I made to myself that I will get in shape. I just have to keep it up once I go back to Nashville, or this summer will be put to waste.

David had his birthday a little over a week ago. Yay! Now I'm dating a 19 year old. Aww yeah. We went out to eat dim-sum, and had cheesecake and it was yum.

I'm on my 4th summer reading book, 4 out of 8. Eight summer reading books. That's just ridiculous. Psh. Snow Falling on Cedars is actually a really good book. MacBeth was disappointing, Beowulf was alright, and Grendel is good so far. I don't know why I'm telling you all this, but I thought I'd just like to share.

So. It's been raining quite a lot this past week. I'm usually not too fond of the rain, but it has made me happy. YAY RAIN!!! Maybe soon we won't have to stop our water every 5 days, cause that sucks beyond belief. You never know how valuable something really is until you don't have it anymore... Over night poop is really gross, lettme tell ya...

My little cousin is the coolest. Today, she, David, and I had a burp fest. Then she farted in front of a fan that was pointed towards us, and we almost died. She's the best.

So, any good movies out lately? Oh oh, guess what movie is opening up here soon! SNOW DOGS!!! My favorite!!! (Ohmygodpleasekillmenow) I went to go see Spider-man again because Angel (the cool, farty cousin) wanted to see it. I think she's obsessed with that movie now because she will randomly yell out at any given moment, "Spider-man!" and shoot out imaginary webs while singing Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way". I'm telling you, she's a weird one. Us three went to see Sum of All Fears last weekend, it was pretty good. There was a horribly random and unintentionally funny scene where Ben Affleck was trying to get across security. I can't really describe it, but if you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about. David and I also went to see Blade 2 on Friday. It was quite possibley the most grotesque and disgusting movie I had ever seen in my entire life. The movie itself wasn't bad, it was just horrendously gross. Even David thought it was yucky... and he's a *boy*. It's not a bad movie though, but if you have a weak stomach, I wouldn't recommend it. We've also seen a lot of movies on the movie channels here on TV. They have sucky HBO though. They censor stuff out. What kind of HBO is that?

David took a lot of pictures so far and a clip of him doing the running man. I think he is going to post it up on his site sometime soon, I'll let you guys know, so you can go download it and see pictures! Whee fun yah!

Anyway, I guess I better close up shop. It's getting pretty late and I still have to wake up early for Chinese school tomorrow morning... Soo... The story will be continued. Oh and... it wouldn't hurt to reply either! And... if I don't e-mail you back soon, don't worry, I *will* sooner or later. =)

*Peace sign*

So um... I'm like, on the other side of the world now... Whatever. Minor detail. SO! I'm not gonna go and explain every detail, so I'm just gonna post the big e-mails that I send people on here, so for those of you who *didn't* get a e-mail because I don't love you enough, can check out just what is goin' down.

Big e-mail numero uno, May 28:
Hi *Y'ALL* How is everyone doing?? I'm here. Safe too. And safe is definitely a good thing.

It's been pretty okay here so far... Did I tell you about what happened with our plane? Well if I did, I'm gonna tell you again anyway. We got on the plane on time in Detroit, and I fell asleep before we took off, and woke up an hour later to find that we were still on the friken ground in Detroit and I was like HEY WHAT'S GOING ON??!?!?? And the little dude in the intercom was like "umm... the mechanical people think that they are on to something, give us a few more minutes." And a few minutes later, he was like "Umm... so... there is another aircraft arriving here, and we are gonna see if we could borrow a few parts or just the entire aircraft." I don't know why they would want to break apart a good airplane to fix one that doesn't work. We ended up getting on another plane... THREE hours later. That wasn't very fun. The airplane ride wasn't that great either, unless by great you mean TORTURE. We watched snow dogs. SNOW DOGS FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD!! It was atrocious. It was uncomfortable, an d I couldn't sleep, and the food tasted like poop on a platter and you all know how yummy that is. But anyway. I finally got here... late, but I'm here. On... Saturday, my mommy, daveo and I went to walk around where we live and went to bed really early because we still had some jetlag. MmmmMMmM... Jetlag... On Sunday, we went to church (bilingual), and then we hung out with Ruth, Esther, and Ken and them because Ken was leaving the next day. We went shopping a little bit... and went to KTV (kereoke). THat was fun... but I refused to sing. Probably a good thing because I really did not want to kill anyone that day. David and Ken sang the classic "hit me baby one more time". There is nothing better than watching two large guys sing Britney Spears. David was trying to get me to sing "Achy breaky heart" just so he could see Billy Ray Cyrus's mullet. It would have been totally worth it too but we had to leave early. And I do singing. Um... yesterday, my mom, david and I went to go register at the chinese school that we will be attending. Hey guess what everyone, I'm gonna be in THIRD GRADE LEVEL!!! Woo!!! I so totally suck.

After that, we all went to the biggest mall in south-east asia. It was the gigantor of malls. Plus, it was globe shaped. So think... epcot center mall.... only with windows. That place was Heaven. Not because it was big and there were shoes galore and I could have died and have been happy. But because there was pleeeanty of Engrish. Oooh engrish. Gotta love it. Examples? Surely. Things that I saw on t-shirts: "FUCKER" "Brak Bremosh Pop on <3" "Show me your Tackle" THere were so much more but I can't think of any off the top of my head. I need to take pictures. Hey. I'm gonna talk engrish when I come home okay? Okay.

Just so everyone knows, my aunt's boyfriends name is Peter Pan. I wish I was joking.

I had bubble tea yesterday. That stuff is yummy. I wish I could bring some back for all of you... but. That'd just be gross.

What else what else... Um um um... Oh yeah. I told most of you that there has been a shortage of um... water.. here.. and so they had to make a schedule of when we are able to get water and when we can't. So. No water yesterday. So we couldn't take a shower and we couldn't flush the toilet. That would have been bad if any one of has had the runs. I'm so gross. Why are you still friends with me? Oh wait, you're not.

I'm sure most of you have already heard about the China Airlines plane from here to Hong Kong. That was really scary. Sad. My aunt used to be a flight attendant for China airlines and she knew some of the people on that plane. And on TV, they would list all of the people who were on the plane and showed their friends and families. =( I don't know what I would do if that happened to any of you guys. Mushy time: I love you all!!!

Anyway... I'm acutally supposed to be reading. Mmm. Summer reading. I get to read eight of those... Joy fun yeah. Okay! But. That's about all for now. I'll update you guys soon! Write me back! See most of you in about 6 weeks!!!
