Man and a Mask

I think the quote, "Man is least him self when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth." is saying that when someone talks about themselves, they don't want to reveal who they are. When you are talking to someone face to face they see who are from the outside, the way you motion yourself or the way you talk and think. They really don't know who are deep down, but by yourself you know exactly who you are. Maybe it's something you are self-conscious with about yourself, maybe something that you just don't want anyone to know. Everyday you may have a daily routine, from everything you do, to the way you talk, to the way people see you, they will recognize all those details about you. Having a mask disguising yourself, no will recognize you, you just as well seem like a stranger. In that way you can reveal yourself your inner secrets, because they aren't gonna know you are. Sometimes when you bottle something up for so long, you must have a relief to let it all out, and I guess that what it means when he says "he will tell you the truth."

Everyone has at least one or many insecurities, it could have to do with your personality or your appearance. In the quote, "give him a mask." it reveals that if you are hiding your insecurities, and if you are hiding away your insecurities you are not revealing who are completely. Having a mask, maybe that may make you feel like someone else and it's okay to let people know who are, if your the one not telling.

No one wants their true self to be opened up, having a mask hiding away will let you reveal yourself. I do think the quote is true because in reality no one in the world is perfect. Everyone has at least one thing that doesn't make them perfect. No matter what your probably gonna always have a secret hiding from others. Put on a mask and maybe you'll tell the world.

Thanksgiving Break

Let's see I had a very busy, long thanksgiving break. The first day of Thanksgiving break started on a Wednesday after having to go to school on Monday & Tuesday. (Which I thought was ridiculous) Anyways on Wednesday was a great day, and happened to be the best day I had through that week.


On that day, Willie was coming to Alameda, including Brandon. I went off to the 'Jack in the Box' bus stop and waited. I had been waiting there for quite an awful long time, because the buses were running slow and they had to first stop by the bank. Finally around 1:30 pm they had arrived, I was a little mad but I couldn't stay mad for long. I was so happy that they came by and we had walked around park street. We went by 'Quickly's' and got a quick drink and chickens. After that we had gone to 'Starbucks' to meet up with Kiet and Lina, later Joseph had came. We all hung out there for awhile, but Willie definitely got side track cause his good friend Sukin <- I think that's spelled wrong. came by and they were talking and catching up. We then later got a bite to eat and all ate burritos which was pretty funny, Joseph had left after. Then we all went to Kiet's house, we had lots of fun and laughs, and had a couple drinks and played cards. After a really great fun night we all had gone home.

Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. Today my mom went overboard, cooking and buying so much food! She always likes to over do it and cook so much food, we only have a family of five. Lucky thing we had lots of relatives come over this time and take plenty of food home. Anyways at the Thanksgiving table we had... A huge turkey, ham, pork, three different types of pie, potato salad, more potato salad, gravy, bread, sweet bread, cake bread?, fruit, kimchee lots of kimchee, and I think that covers about most of it. We had lots of our family come by and my cousins then invited us to watch the movie, 2012. It was a pretty good movie, but not the best. I didn't enjoy it, a lot of the times I was falling alsleep. haha

Well this is my Wednesday and Thursday of Thanksgiving Break, I will continue the week within my next blog. (:

Media Center Computers

I have just spent about 40 minutes trying to log into a media center computer. Today we have a Subsitute for Mr. Sutherland. The sub's name is Mr. Robert, he seems nice but his way of teaching is very different from Sutherland's. Anyways we have walked to the media center to start blogging.

Everyone was easily able to log in. Except for me (and Joseph). I picked the last row to the left. One computer was already taken by someone who was already working. The others was taken by two of my classmates. Leaving seven computers, and of course Ama and Joseph were looking for computers, which left five. But Ama got up and to the other computers cause he needed to print something.

The first computer I try, is corrupted, has a black screen saying enter password, press to disable entering a password, press to enable entering a password. Pretty much you couldn't type anything but press and that didn't work, it just made it worse. So i moved on to the next computer. The next computer had a computer lock and was only valid to certain people. Other computers were just freezing after I tried to log in. After many attempts I finally logged into one of the computers, but the internet browser is not loading up nor is even showing up.

Aggravated from more conflict I change into another computer but once again it's not letting me log in. I decided to restart all the computers and try again to log in. Eventually Joseph finds a computer towards the end of the row. But I'm still stuck with trying to log in at least one computer.
Eventually I end up with the same computer, the internet browser finally loads up after about 15 minutes, but as things are going well. The internet browser freezes and I need to close it, which takes an awfully long time. After that I open it up again and these pop up say that this is unauthorized page ect. ect. after every click or every page i try going to. I just kept closing it.

Finally I got to blogger.com and I look at the time and for some reason the computer says its 6:06 AM but i pull my phone and look at the time realizing I only have about 10 more minutes to write this blog, but now I am finally finished.
By the way, I hate Media Center Computers.

TAM HA

tam is this one guy I don't really know, he is Vietnamese; I think? Also another thing about Tam, he has EXTREMELY squishy cheeks, which brings me to the theory of how Vietnamese people having squishy cheeks, so far is proven to be correct.
right now he is wearing white shirt black pants and he is bald!!!!
he should be working on his power point assignments but he is being a lazy ass.
GET TO WORK TAM!!
I always see Tam play basketball I'm sure he sucks tho. He wears pants under his pants and always talks about doing homework or something.

Tam just wanders around and likes to stare at people, like Twanng and Ama, while they play Cultris. Cultris is a tetris game on the school computers.
Now he is sitting in a green chair by himself staring at people again, he has his head on top of his hand and his hand is laying on top of another green chair.
Why must Tam just be isolated and stare at people non-stop?
Now Tam is staring at people next to him, he is sitting across from Joseph. Joseph's birthday happens to be today! I bought him a smiley face cookie and two cupcakes, i hope that made his day. I wonder what tam got him, hmmmm.. let me guess NOTHING!!! He went with us to buy goodies for us, but he was walking like a slow ass, walking like that one Pokemon slowpoke.

Damn now Tam is standing next to me reading this, he think this is hilarious, well I think his staring disease is a serious problem. Maybe I should talk to him about going to therapy, no no, that wouldn't work because he just bring up another topic about nothing, or just ignore me.
Well Tam, I'm done rambling about you, hope you enjoyed this blog about you (:
I forgot one last thing, Tam has an evil twin named Ham Ta! Also known as Hamtaro.

DOG

My blog today is about my dog. He is small, cute, but can be very mean. Sometimes I call him puppy, pumpkin, pee, poopie, poo, bipo, stupid, stinky, and pobi. That's right pobi, my little monster of a dog is named pobi. He is a miniature doberman pincher.

I've had Pobi ever since I was in the 5th grade, it's but he's still as active as ever. He was about maybe 5 or 2 when I got him. My Uncle who had given me the dog, who got from one of this friends. His friend could not keep the dog, so he gave him to my Uncle. My Uncle could then couldn't keep the dog because he had already had a small puppy plus they lived in an apartment where dogs were not allowed. Then at last it was then passed to us.

I remember when I first saw Pobi, I didn't really know how to pronounce his name but I thought he was so adorable. He was small and he will remain to be small, he was very loud but so obedient. When we took him home he already know how to sit,and listens so well, he can still be very rowdy and barks so loud, but only to be protective of us.

Today Pobi is a very smart doggy, still cute, and acts like a puppy. He knows how to sit, lay down, hand, other hand, two hands, roll over, jump, and he always knows what food belongs to him, and what is for humans. He understands everything so well, and I love my puppy so much! He is the best dog I could ever ask for (:

MY BEST FRIENDS

Everyone has a best friend or best friends, and they are the people who matter the most in your life, and sometimes they are close as if they were family. My best friends are people who I have know for many years, and have always been there for me, whether it be to accompany me or to just listen.

W i l l i e, He is been with me through everything, at my happiest points and my worst. I've know him for years. We have our hard times but we know that we still will be there. He knows every little detail about me, from everything I love to everything I hate. He understands me like no one else, and sometimes really the only person I can talk to about certain things. I'm so coftable around him I love him, and he is like the best freind you could ever meet. Such a relaxed personally and he's is too sweet to describe. <3

K e e l y, She is the longest friend I've ever had, and we have been best friends since the 4th grade. We have our fights but we always end up getting along. We always have inside jokes, and we never stop laughing when are around each other. We want to get jobs together, our licence, and we know we will be friends forever. Sometimes we can just make something boring, into something fun, filled with laughter, and we'll look back to on it. Since we've known each other for so long, at times we just look back into old times and remember how great it was, and happy that we still friends today. Keely is my best friend, I don't know what I'd do without her :D

J e s s i c a, I've know her all my life, she is my cousin, and my best friend. We are very alike in so many ways, even if she's half Mexican and half Korean, and I'm half Korean and half Chinese. People mistaken as being sisters, and we love all the same things. We always can relate to one another,when we are having problems, or just on our self image. Plus I know I can always rely on her being there for me and she really is one of the funnest people to be around. We do everything together and we can laugh at each other, make jokes, and we don't even mind. She is my family, my best friend and I love her!

When I grow up..

When I grow up I hope to be many occupations and achieve a lot through my life time. There's a million things I'd really like to do, but I'm only naming a few.
Some of the things I want to be are a musician, artist, photographer, model.

The reason I want to become a Musician someday is because, I love music, the culture, rhythm, and a lot of times I enjoy just picking up my guitar and playing a lovely tune, or just sitting at my piano and play for hours and sing to myself. I enjoy writing music and I'd like for people to see what I can do, criticize me or love me, I will still love to be able to play on stage someday.

Someday I dream to be standing in a museum in front of my very own painting as a creative artist. I want people to recognize me and be well known as a famous artist. I enjoy painting and drawing whenever I have free time. I've been drawing for years and always has been a passion of mine ever since I was young. I'd really like to be able to get into an Art Collage such as the one in San Fransisco.(but I can't remember what it's called).

I love taking pictures, staring at scenery and when I see people's work of photography it makes me want to take pictures of my own. It is an amazing art and can be so beautiful, I enjoy taking the time to get a perfect picture of whether it be an object or the clouds in the sky. I also like to take pictures of people and embrace their beauty. Editing pictures is also fun, and is one of the best parts of making the photos you take unique.

Sometimes, I sit down and read through a stack of magazines, I see models on the cover, the page Ads, and especially the clothing models. I love to dream about it, and think what would it be like to be a model. Yes there are good and bad effects into being a model but I think it's all the worth it to see your face/body on a page where millions can see. It's a big dream of mine and I hope it will come true, although I may not have the right qualifications, I still like to think about it.

Writing Improvements

Today's blog is how I want to improve my writing, I want to improve my writing because it will help me prep for future essays, college, improve my vocabulary and to read and write quicker.
I'd like to prep up for future essays and college, because I know in college I will be writing many essays including to write about a different topic weekly. What will help me is if I continue to write over and over than I will find writing much more easier on myself, and the task of doing essays will be simple. I will be more efficient and my essays will improve over time.

I want to improve my vocabulary because I enjoy writing and if I wanted to ever be a writer or journalist I will need to be very detailed and use good grammar/vocab. I like want to sound professional and like a good writer, and so people will want to read my stories or articles. Being more detailed makes someone sound intelligent, and will help will future references or maybe if I am being interviewed. Being better on my vocabulary will help me to define words better and to help me understand written articles. I will be able to have smarter conversations and help foreighn friends, and my family with english.

I also would like to be able to write quicker, so in the future I will write more and efficiantly. If I write faster than I will be able to think more, write more and have a very descripted story. I will have more time to myself and I will be able to write long paragraphs.

In conclusion, I hope writing blogs and doing stories in class will help me improve everything. I very much enjoy to write and it's a good way to express myself. I find writing to be very helpful with my studies. Someday I want to be a journalist and I know if I countinue to write daily/weekly I will improve on all my skills, and achieve.

Musical Melody

I'd like to start off with how I am the only one in my family who is musically orientated. I'd like to get into having a musical career, right now I would be thrilled to play on stage, unfortunately I have stage fright. I first learned to play piano, because my mother wanted me to play and she had me take lessons. Then i got into guitar, i first learned to play by ear and then took a class for a year. Until now I learn by ear or from sheet music. I stopped taking piano lessons about the beginning of June, cause I was far to busy to play and concentrate. I plan to continue soon enough, but I play every now and then and try to learn songs from videos.

I like to write my own music, lyrics and such. I start off on just how I am feeling, and the music just comes to me. When I find good notes or chords I write them down and try to add words, at times I can write a full song in just a couple minutes, other times it takes me an hours. I try my best and to play them aloud for others to hear. At times I make a song up from out of the blue, whether it's a silly song, or a joyful one.


I enjoy playing for hours until my hands begin to hurt, or if I just get frustrated. I could not live without knowing how to play, I love music, writing it, singing it, playing it. It's almost like a never ending cycle. It's one of the things that truly can keep me happy, something that will calm me down. I play guitar more than I play the piano but I've been learning to play the piano twice as long. I want to continue learning new instruments such as the drums and flute. I'd love for someone to teach me in their spare time. I want to be able to play many instruments as I get older, and still be able to have all the knowledge from today till I get 100 years old. It's a big aspiration for me, but I know in the future I can benifit from it.

"Topic Blog"

This is my first blog, and the topics I'm covering are music, the environment, animals in general and traveling. I'd like to write about music because I am very compassionate about it. I can play the guitar and piano. I write my own music and write my own lyrics. I absolutely love to sing, but I am very shy of my voice. Someday I hope to be a musician and perform on stage.

The second topic is environment, I love to stare at trees and grass, and have a view of a beautiful scenery. I'll pick up a single flower and have the aroma of freshness, and my favorite thing is going outside and smelling the fresh air whether it's at 6 am or 12 at night. I am grateful of how people can go out of their way to help our environment in any way they can.

The next topic is about animals, I have a warm heart for all animals and find each creature extraordinary in their own way, but the one thing I can't stand is how people make a profit from fur. I have never wore fur and never will. When I see/hear of animals being abused or kill, It literally crushes my heart and wish that I could do something. I love animals and dogs are one of my favorite, If I find a lost puppy I do as much as I can to find its way back home and be for it to be safe.

Another topic is Art, I find it stunning! I've been drawing ever since I was little, and I continue to as I grow up, I enjoy painting, coloring, and sketching, sometimes I even find myself painting at 3 a.m.! I also find art museums fascinating, just looking how one person could paint/create such an image. Everyone see's art in their own way, which makes it interesting to see how others can take something into their prospective. I really do hope to get far into the industry of art work.

The last topic is traveling, there is no place exactly like one another, varies of places to go. I'd love to travel to Japan, Australia, Europe, and every state in the U.S. They are all fascinating and each place has different food, buildings, land marks, environment, and people. All of these places can be a wonderful trip and all have so many qualities to look forward to seeing/experiencing, which makes it all the better to go!
