Hobby of Mine



Yesterday was the first time for a long time that I have picked up my guitar and start playing again. I remember the first time I played with a guitar was when I need one when I registered for Beginner Guitar Class in my freshman year of college. My first guitar was from eBay... Mann that was a big mistake. I didn't know anything about guitars so I thought my friend and I can get away with a cheap one that costed about 30 bucks. When I first attended my music class, we had to tune the guitar. The eBay guitar couldn't tune right so my professor told us to buy bronze strings. The next class it still couldn't tune with the nicer more expensive strings, so my friend and I decided to just buy a better guitar from Guitar Center. Luckily I read the reviews and did my research including finding coupons and it costed me around $200 including auto tuner, gig bag, and capo. I think it was worth it cause the reviews said that it's a good beginner guitar.
This is my second day of practicing and I think I'm getting the hang of it now. Currently trying to learn how to play Taylor Swift's We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. I think this is easy to play because the chords are just easy to transition to. You just have to move two fingers and the others are the same. Been practicing for about 15-30 mins a day and my fingers hurts but its fun.

School days

-______- I'm always wondering when will I finish school...Now I feel like "omgosh about two more years and I'll be out of here, but what do I do after graduating?! AHHHH" I was planning on going on a vacation after college but I don't know yet. There are so many people that says that they wished they had taken a vacation before working because it'll be hard to get long vacations when you're employed. I'm talking about 1-2 years long. Okay now it's time for me to go to school. Will be back after I come back or not I don't know... If I remember to =] eeekk 13 mins before the bus comes.

Okay, I just came back from school..harharhar. In class today, we had a guest speaker. It was about... Honestly I don't even know what it was all about but I'm guessing it was something about labor rights and unions. I don't know why, but I sometimes find myself lost in these kind of speeches. One because I don't have a good knowledge about the general issues and terms they use. Two, they talk to fast for me to register what they are trying to talk about. Back to the vacation thing I mentioned above. What are some benefits and shortcomings of having a vacation after college? For one thing, I'll be able to go to different places I've never been to before and I can also visit my relatives back in China. The shortcoming of having a vacation after college is that you might miss an opportunity of getting a job and you won't be earning any money instead you have to spend a lot for the trip. So I don't know but I'm leaning more towards having a vacation because school is just stressful and if I were to start work right after college than I'll break down.

Backk

Hello everybody i haven't been on for a long time but today i thought i would share my feelings with you. So i been thinking of letting go my fishy lately and today was the day. I thought it would be very nice to let my fishy go free into the wilds. At first i didn't feel sad or anything but just after letting go my fishy my eyes went watery. Tears started to drop and i don't know why. I was just happy a few minutes ago but after leaving my fishy in one of those golden gate ponds i felt really sad and started missing her. I started to think back about those times when i first got my fishy from a bag of food fishes for my dad's Arowana. I saved her from being eaten and took care of her when she was half my pinkie finger length. The more i think about it the more tears i cried. I just wanted to say that in the beginning you will feel happy but once you let go you will begin to feel sad inside. Is this the feelings i will feel when someone dearest to me leaves? Is this how parents feel when they see that their children all grown up and ready to leave them?

Old man sang to me

So it was Wednesday January 27, 2010 right after school. It was a beautiful day when suddenly, a mysterious old man started singing to me. Well actually it all started when school was over. I walked out of the building of Abraham Lincoln High school and waited for my friends as usual. It was the time when we chatted for a while and my friend's bus came. My other friend decided to take the L down at Taraval to outbound. Oh gosh this getting to long and too much unless details that doesn't really matter, so I'm going straight to the point. AN OLD MAN SANG TO ME!!! THE END =]
