JUNE 4 - - words for AST
neat, romantic, comfortable, active, AND energetic.
Even though there's mosquitos, but they don't usually bite me, so I think its pretty romantic because of all those beautiful trees and fresh air.

Dragon boat FESTIVAL - - June 02
Well, I had LOTS of FUN! because all I did during the whole entire four day weekend was SLEEP. However, I did finish a really really FABULOUS book and it just came out. Its the fifth book of Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Last Olympian. That series of book is the only book I love to read so far. On friday night, I stayed up until 3 AM in the morning and woke up at 3 pm in the afternoon the next day. It was a very long long 12 hour sleep. I wouldn't have a boring weekend if my mom and dad didn't made us stay at home in Taichung!

May 27 - - - Dragon Boat FESTIVAL !
I will do NOTHING! Because unfortunately, I won't get to go to Taipei and have fun with my cousins because I have to stay in Taichung with my sister. We'll be home alone : ( Since semester final exams are coming up, my sister has to stay at home and study and so I can't go anywhere else either! I bet our holiday would be boring boring boring, bored to DEATH! WAHHH :"(
I'm still wondering what we're going to do this weekend. But I want to go swimming so we might go exercising, which is fine with me! : )

May 25 - - - videos!
I think I would really enjoy a video if its funny, interesting and creative. I like videos with very cool transitions or effect like the video that Eric made. The only program I've used to make videos is MOVIEMAKER, so it would be new to me to see other videos created using other softwares. I really like videos with a very attractive theme with match music or theme song that goes along with it. Music or songs are very important because it makes the audience's brain follow along emotionally.

yay! blogging! - - - May 15
Blogging is an activity for people around the world to share what they got in their minds. I really like to express my feelings and sometimes special events that happened to me. Before, in Mrs.Marcon's class, we get to share what we did during the weekends and express our ideas to the classmates. However, now we don't get to do that, so I really like blogging because I get to tell people about what I did during holidays or my opinions on a specific event. Now, I express my feelings and share ideas through my words instead of talking. yep! : D

HOLLYWOOD! - - May 13
If I make a video, I'm going to include several parts to it. I am going to add music and transitions and some very interesting effects. Movie maker is a really useful program that people can use because you can do anything to your video. Some effects are really cool because you can do slow motion or make it black and white. The transitions are very neat too! You can also change the volume in the music you applied to the video. Making a movie is just one of the best things you can do during free time.

Searching Tips! - - May 07
If I create a video it would be about ... ABOUT MY SUMMER VACATION!
I would video scenes if me having lots of fun with my cousin during the vacation. I am going to video the times when we laugh, swim, play, and sleep together sharing our secrets!

HACKERs on FACEBOOK! - - May 05
The Facebook program advises and suggests users to shun and ignore messages, posts, or links that's asking for log-in information. They also suggest to always make certain they are visiting the social networking Web site's legitimate address, facebook.com.
Next time, when I receive mails from facebook, I will surely be careful about the links that they're asking us to put. This news on Taipei Times is giving me a bit fear about using facebook and I hope I won't be the victim. The Trend Micro is a global leader in network antivirus and internet content security software and services on preventions of virus. Two Taiwanese sibilings started this network. WOW !

yayy! USA! MY HOME! : P - - May 01
Well, I would actually like to visit so many different places all over USA! HEHE! I hope to visit Disneyland again because every year, my aunt will bring my sister, my cousin and I to the Disneyland in California. I went there for about 10 times already and I have ALWAYS enjoyed playing on so many different rides! It's just a great place for me to relax and SCREAM! I LOVE DISNEYLAND and I hope to go there this summer! The second place I hope to visit is Yosemite National Park at San Francisco again too! Because Yosemite has crispy fresh air, tall green trees, and so many wild life! Listening to the Yosemite Fall splashing the water is just so enjoyable. I would also want to vist the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) because it's MY DREAM SCHOOL! I really hope in the future I would be able to get into this university even though I know I have to work very hard for it. OH! I forgot another place - The Huntington Library! The environment there is MARVELOUS because it has gardens, art works, statues and so many other fascinating things that we could learn there! : P

Apr 24 $$1000000$$ - - - MONEY !
Hmm... I think it would surely be IMPOSSIBLE for me to get sooo much money. However, if God loved me so much and gave me those money, I would use it to do several things. First, I'll donate some of it to elders and disable kids. Secondly, I'll give half or more of it to my parents because they really did work very very hard to pay for my school tuition which is very expensive. My father have to earn extra working hours everyday in order to have enough money to pay for both my sisters and my school tuition and daily needs. So, I think it would be time for me to repay the care and love I received from them. The rest of them will be MINE! HAHA!!! I would use it to buy beautiful things for myself and also my mother since she really likes expensive bags and wallet. I will also use it to buy my own needs for example pretty clothings or shoes. Sighh... unfortunately, these things won't be able to come true : (

yayy! EARTH DAYY
I personally think that Earth day is everyday in our daily lives. Earth day shouldn't be the only day that we save energy or do some practical environmental friendly activities. April 22, 1970, was chosen for the first Earth Day because it was on a Wednesday, which is said to be the best part of the week to encourage large turnout for environmental rallies held across nations globally. Currently, Earth Day is celebrated every year by more than a billion people in 180 nations around the world. A few main actions should be taken 0n Earth day according to the Earth Day Network - help create a billion acts of green, make the no coal call, and help bring healthy food to our own schools. Together, today people should become an Earth WARRIOR instead of an environmentalist.
This is the URL of the website that I got my facts from. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/04/090421-earth-day-facts.html

TAIMUN VII - - - What I learned ?
My only comment for MUN this year is AWESOME ! I learned so much knowledge from TAIMUN! I learned how to not be nervous when standing on the stage, speak confidently and debate skillfully. I learned how to be socialable and interact with other people in my committee. I am very proud of myself because I started to realize how it feels to become a strong delegate. I just wish TAIMUN here in our school could last forever and being in the environment committee with Carol Lin as our chair is just tooo perfect! This experience will be unforgettable and I feel very great being a prepared delegate. Not only did a few clauses from my resolution got submitted into the merged resolution, the main submitter even yield the floor to me. TAIMUN VII is SUPER AMAZING! Unfortunately its OVER : (

April 14 - - - GLOBAL STUDENT >??
Well, everyone can become a global student in many different ways. I personally think I am a global student because I learn other languages from different countries and cultures, so I would be able to understand their own unique style of living. I also think that I am not completely a global citizen because I have only been to places and schools in Taiwan to help disabled kids or company with seniors. Everone in this school are global citizens because they learn other cultures and history of all countries around the world from the teachers and not just their own country. The last point about being a global student is to RESPECT other people's own culture, religion or race.

April 10 - - - SHORT CLASSS
It is because that if we have shorter class time that would mean we will have more classes and if we have more classes, students will need to bring more books to school. This could become annoying so I will prefer 90 minutes per classes by concentrating on only four classes a day instead of 8 classes per day with 45 minutes. Plus, students won't be able to fully concentrate on their classwork in the short 45 mintues. I believe students will be able to calm down and start focusing in a longer time.

April 08 - - - Make a Difference!
Well, I think I could make a difference in reaching the UN goal of ensure environmental sustainability by doing several activities to help our mother planet Earth. We can create a club to make speeches around the world. This could make some difference by telling people and spreading ideas about saving our environment. I will tell them that we have only one planet and that's Earth, if we destroy it, there will be no chances at all for humans to avoid the threat of facing extinction. I will also recommend school to have classes talking about our environment ensuring the sustainability. Saying it seems to be very easy but actually doing it will be a challenge. So, I'll start doing community service to protect our nature and I'm sure its worth it.

the UN EIGHT GOALS - - - APRIL 6
- Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger
- Achieve Universal Primary Education
- Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women
- Reduce Child Mortality
- Improve Maternal Health
- Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other Diseases
- Ensure Environmental Sustainability
- Develop a Global Partnership for Development
The goal I would like to work on is ensure environmental sustainability. The reason is because if our Earth really got destroyed then there won't be anyways to save it. So, I think its better to start making our planet a healthier place.

BACK from HOLIDAY! - - - April 02
I think it was a MARVELOUS holiday. I did not go anywhere except for my Taipei house. I went visiting my grandma in the hospital and she's been doing fine however the doctors are still looking after her carefully. At Taipei, the weather was not so good with some rain but we still had some fun. We went making Brittle Plums but these Taiwan plums look different because it's way smaller and it has a color of apple green. It was a special but tiring experience! When we arrive to Taichung, I knew rest of my holiday would be boring because I have no where to go. Fortunately, my mom took us to shopping and afterwards we went swimming. My sister also baked some delicious cookies and carrot & bannana cakes HERSELF, WITH NO HELP! IT WAS VERY VERY GOOOOD! During this spring break, the happieset event I did was volunteering. I went to a school for blind kids and I get to help out. I played with them, sang with them, communicate, interact, taught them math, had ceramic classes with them! Everything I did with them was very very fun because I learned so many things. People might think those blind disabled kids are disgusting but I don't think so because some of them are very very cute! Eventhough some kids had autism and some can't talk, I feel very happy spending time with them.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to accomplish everything on my list that I was planning to do.
But I did go exercising, because on the first week, I went running at a very big park near my house and I also went biking.

March 19: To-do list
There is a lot of fun activities that I will be able to do during this spring break holiday, and I surely will get to RELAX !
- Go swimming at least 5 times during this holiday & exercise such as running or badminton.
- Heal my poor pinky finger so I will be able to play basketball during PE and type faster in computer class.
- Play with my cousins, my dog, and RELAX! Including sleeping at least 10 hours each night.
- Amuse myself by reading more books and learn more vocabulary words for my future good.
- Lastly, HAVE FUN & ENJOY the whole holiday without listening to my parents yelling.
I hope I will be able to get enough rest to begin a new fourth quarter that's coming up soon! Time seem to pass by so fast! My last school year in middle school is about to END! : (

March 17 - - - INTERNET !
Well, I would create more and more useful website for users to use and research on. I would set up a rule for website creaters and have them create websites that are only approprate for students 10 years old above with no dirty words and disgusting thinkings. Then I would have them to pay me in order to have their own website to work in the Internet! However, I wouldn't force users to pay me but they could if they would like to donate some to my Internet company. Some students coming from a poor family would also like to use my Internet resources but they just couldn't afford it! So, I don't really want them to pay and as long as they feel convenient and happy, I'll be satisfy : )

March 13 --- "BESTEST" weekend!
Over there in my Taipei house I get to spend time with my cousin and relax~ It's great staying there because we live in the mountains and the view is awesome there!
The GOOD news this week is that I get to go to my Taipei house! However, we are not going there just for fun, we are going there to visit my grandma who is really sick and ill. She is still in the emergency room at the hospital unfortunately : ( Sighhh... Hope she gets well soon!
Anyways, I'm still looking forward spending time with my dog and my cousins! : ) YAY!

March 11. Best Photoshop So FAR !
Well, actually so far, I liked doing assignment the Photoshop Text. We get to do chrome text, frozen text and flame text. I liked it a lot because of the effects that it does to the word and I never thought photoshop will be able to do these unique fonts.
I also liked doing the assignment Auckland and the Ice pictures. For Auckland, we're suppose to draw darker clouds and I think the effect makes it look very realistic. For the Ice picture we did saturation and other tools changing the background color using the brush tool and I thought that the color turned out to be very special and abstract.
Overall, I think every assignment we did was all great and I love it because everytime I get to learn something NEW !

March 09: FUN at assembly !
Well, I personally think that assemblies will be fun if different classes acts out a movie or drama play during the assembly. For example, our computer class can act out a scene about using computers and having some people be different characters like teachers or students having conversations. However, I really would like to see more plays performed by the high school drama members, because they're super super good actors/actress. If they are able to perform their plays during assembly, it would be so AWESOME! I think that our computer class could spend some time brainstorming about a play we could perform during assembly. We can act out this whole scene probably on the stage. This scene could be about a bad kid using too much computer or a student having no computers at home! hehe : P

March 05 - ASSEMBLY !
Monday, March 2, 2009
March 03 - SHORT CUTS !
1. adjustments for images: Desaturate - Shift + Ctrl + U
2. Free transform - Ctrl + T
3. Pattern Maker - Alt + Shift + Ctrl + X
4. Auto Contrast - Alt + Shift + Ctrl + L
5. Hue/Saturation - Ctrl + U
These are five useful shortcuts in photoshopthat I discovered!

Feb. 26. UNIFORMS !
I don't think having uniforms in AST is a good idea.
Because we all have our own unique style of dressing ourselves but uniforms makes us look all the same! Sometimes we should make our own choice of how we want ourselves to look! Uniforms are not always a good idea!

Feb24. HOT TIPS !
- First, if you find it difficult to be accurate with the Paintbucket hold down the Shift key. The mouse cursor changes to a crosshair - the center of which is the aim point.
- Second, move images side by side with Windows>Documents>Tile(Window Arrange in Photoshop CS).
- This is for fixing the balloon picture. Rotate the String layer for a perfect fit. Do this by positioning the mouse OUTSIDE the transform box and then moving the mouse.
My FAVORITE tools are the Gradient tool and the Move tool. The reason is because I really like the colors and effects for the gradient because colors can mix together or fade. It comes out very pretty! I also like the move tool becacause you can make the image move a little by little with the arrow keys. And it moves it exactly where we want it to be. AWESOME!

Feb 20. NO COMPUTERS ??!!
This world would be very inconvienient if there were no computers. First, students who would need to do research for school wouldn't have enough information because the only source they could get is from the library books. Second, teachers would have a hard time grading and recording student's grades. Lastly, people who wants their homework to be neat would have to write it themselves with their hand. However, it would be sometimes better if the computers doesn't exist. Because, students won't be able to concentrate on their homeworks and be busy playing computer games. Parents would have a hard time to stop them either. But, without computers, people can't contact with each other so easily.
So, overall, I think this world would be very inconvenient without computers.
Tuesday, February 17, 2009
Feb. 18 - LEARNING !
Hm... I think I learn best when I explore things myself, because I will know what I am doing and remember clearly of what the steps are. I usually learn best when taking notes and reading it out loud. This is one of my ways to study for tests in school. Whenever there's a science test, I'll usually pretend i'm a teacher teaching about the subject to the empty air. While i'm teaching sometimes problems and questions comes up. I also learn best when I'm staying in a very quiet place because nothing will disturb my mind. yep! That's it!
Sunday, February 15, 2009
Feb.16 THE LEAST !
Well, I actually like this computer class so I can't think of any part that I dislike or like the least. However, sometimes when I look at the computer too long my eyes gets very dry and soar which makes me feel very uncomfortable. That's all.
It's great learning photoshop and practice typing!
I think I would enjoy rest of the computer basic classes during the year! :D
Wednesday, February 11, 2009
Feb 12 - Computer Class
Well, this class is great, I mean everything seems to be going very well.
First, we get to learn so many photoshop techniques, and I'm looking forward to learn a lot more. After I'm use to using photoshop, I can edit my own pictures and other stuff.
Secondly, I also get to practice my speed for Mavis Beacon. I have a great news today. I was playing the typing games and my speed was 104 wpm!!!!!! I can't believe it! and I also only got 2 mistakes. Yes!!!! But, that's only for the typing games not speed test. For my speed test, my highest so far was 84 wpm. Yep!
Monday, February 9, 2009
Feb.10 - - HOMEROOM !
Well, in homeroom, we usually spend our time silent reading. However, Mr,McDonnell, our homeroom teacher sometimes show us funny and interesting videos that people send him.
In homeroom, I really hope we could come to the computer lab and spend time on anything we want. For example, people who want to play computer games can play or people who want to practice typing. It can be like our freetime! But sometimes when I have a really good book to read, I would want our homeroom time to be all for reading. Sometimes I even want our homeroom to be a time for us to finish our homework so at home we will be able to review and study for tests. It would also be great for homeroom to switch to the morning because if we're tired we'll be able to sleep during that time. HEHE! What a great idea! (but impossible)
Thursday, February 5, 2009
Feb. 06. World BOOK !
What I did not like about this website was sometimes when you type in a different subject it would give you very detailed information. Once I typed in an astronomer's name, there was only one source or article about the person. This did not give me enough detailed information for our science project.
However, overall, I think it is a pretty unique website because at least it doesn't give you sources that has virus or about something completely different. That's GREAT!

Feb.04 Back from HOLIDAY : (
GUESS WHAT? There are several things that I get to enjoy during the holidays.
Firstly, I had a great fun time spending time taking pictures with my cousins. We were playing at the front yard of my Taipei house with my dog. Breathing fresh air, lying on the grass and looking at the azure sky was just fabulous! Secondly, during the dinner, our family gather together with kids at a seperate table. Even though we didn't really get to drink wine, I still got to drink some from my uncle. HEHE! At night, as stars started glimmering, we played firecrackers with all my cousins and my dog even got scared. I enjoyed everything during this holiday not only because I got more money but I also had a memorable week with my cousins from Japan. I just hope that we could have another holiday coming up, unfortunately, there aren't any. It's time for me to work hard now! p.s - I also enjoyed sleeping til 12 o'clock at lunch everyday. TEEHEE!

Jan 13 - - JOURNAL
Before I go on the holidays, in this class, I want to get my typing speed to over 65 wpm. When I practiced the number keys, my typing speed drops because I haven't practice enough. I also want to have good techniques for doing photoshop before our holiday starts. I hope I will be used to using blog by then and know how to post videos or doing anything on my blog. YEP! YEP!
Thursday, January 8, 2009
Jan 09 - Journal : P // one freee hour
Firstly, I would check my email and see if there is anything new going on. Then, I will check my blog and facebook because I usually go to the Home page to check out other people's new posts. Guess what I'll do next? Play computer games? NOPE! I would go on youtube and watch videos. I like to watch some episodes of several romantic movies. Some of them are from Korea and some are Taiwan shows. The reason I watch the videos very frequently is because I really like one of the characters. He is SUPER HANDSOME! <3333>
The one free hour for me to use computer is very very precious! Muahahaha! ♥
