Good to bad to good to bad...

What an odd day! I don't know if the good cancels out the bad or not.

First: I lost my I.D. last semester, the day before the semester ended, and I just know I left it in the dining hall. When I came back this semester, I asked around the front desk, and the dining hall, and everywhere people had no idea where it went. In the end I basically gave up hope and went to replace it yesterday: $15. But I was still worried that someone was going to use my original I.D. for the $150 on it. So today, when I go to check my mailbox... it's IN THERE. @_@. AHHHH. Grrr. I don't know why nobody told me... T-T.

And I can't refund my money either.

Second: When I was walking to class today I was walking behind a Chinese couple and their daughter who I guess were either touring or coming for her as a prospective student. I could hear their conversations and when they stopped to ask someone for directions to Newhouse their English was very limited, so I went up to give them directions in Mandarin. Suddenly, the daughter says to me, “喂，你不是那个渣子里面的模型吗？我认识你啊！！！”

I was like "Uh... wha?"

But she pulled out a Chinese magazine and flipped to an advertisement for water and it was me!!!! I was so baffled! It was one of my unknown advertisements my uncle had told me about and I was seeing it for the first time. O_O!

Then she asked me for my autograph!!! I was so stunned I signed my name wrong - completely not even my signature, I just printed the letters and waved a dazed goodbye.

And now I'm like DANG IT. Because I didn't even get the name of the magazine or anything. Sigh. But it just goes to say that if I really did want to break into the Chinese movie star thing it might not be that difficult/different. ^^

That's it for now.

...to good to bad to forever!
大东的晨晨

Our year is now over...

Amazing, how fast the years go by, isn't it? Before we know it, 2007, the year of my previously unfathomable high school graduation, is over and just a memory in our minds. And like all other years, 2008 is a chance for a new beginning, a new start, and let's hope that's how it turns out to be! I have a lot of work ahead of me this next year, I know I do, and it's both physical and mental. So 晨晨 -- 加油, 加油啦!!! Yea!!! *Pumps fist in air*

Break has been more than amazing and I'm a little sad to be going back to the dreary town of Syracuse. In all honesty, if I could just delete Littleton and make it Syracuse, Colorado, that would be fantastic. But I guess then I would never learn independence.

For Christmas, I got less presents than last year, but that's to be expected because my parents are paying for college. Plus I got a lot of presents from friends I never thought would give me presents! So it was nice. I have a lot of winter wear... ^^v

As far as China summer '08 goes, I don't know if we're going back anymore. Because tickets starting May, through August, are soo expensive due to the Olympics, so we as of now, the plans are still up in the air... I really hope we can! It seems unrealistic to say it anymore but I miss my family : (. My aunts and uncles got evicted from their homes because the government are building a mall there (!?! Stupid communists) so they all have new, complimentary apartments now. I'm really pissed at China, but I want to see their new homes. Even if it's not the same. (I miss my aunt's pretty Roman-style house... T-T).

Speaking of China...

Introducing Husband the Second: Jiro Wang | Wang Dong Chen | A.K.A. 大東哥哥
<-- 好可愛啦!~~~

He is leader of the Taiwanese boyband Fahrenheit (Fei Lun Hai).

<-- Fahrenheit


My dad brought back a consolation Drama for my sister and I to watch from China (in place of an absent Wallace Chung period drama he was supposed to have gotten for us...) named HanaKimi, starring Ella of S.H.E and Wu Zun & Jiro from Fahrenheit. And I thought Jiro was pretty cute but I didn't get that infatuated until one night when I decided to look them up on youtube for their MV's. And OH MY GOD. He's my husbanddd!!! He is perfect husband specimen for me. He sings (mmm, I love his voice), dances (really well), plays guitar (classical and e), raps, draws, loves to eat, has a great sense of personal style (hair & clothing!), and is a romantic ^^. Hubby-hubby, 我來了!!!!!!!

I was complaining to my friend Xiao over pho about Jiro one day (and the lack of him in Colorado) and he gave me a sudden hope! I had completely forgotten his aunt was a bigshot agent in China (she knows Jay Chou!) and our conversation went something like this:

Me: *something about meeting Jiro one day*

Xiao: Well, I'll talk to my aunt, and have you send some headshots and portfolio pictures to her. If she likes you, then maybe you can break into the industry.

Me: Like... acting!?! @_@

I already have a pseudo-model portfolio with plenty of pictures to send Aunt-of-Xiao, so now my happiness rests on their shoulders! If it happens and I needed to go to Taiwan for something big (like filming!), I would so take a year off from college.

HERE I COME!

On another note, spending time with friends and family has been funfunfun. My friends and I finally went downtown this year to 16th street mall to see the fireworks. There were soo many people! And when everyone was cheering together for like 10 minutes after the 'ball dropped' it was like magic. We saw a couple of 50-something women in sparkly revealing dresses completely trashed and vowed that that would be us in 40 years. Forget our husbands (unless of course mine is Jiro).

Break is over, and I'm homesick for Denver and shoeless-showers and pillowtop beds and family and pho and Chipotle and sun already. I leave in 3 hours to the airport (my flight is at 6 AM =_=''!) and I'll be counting down the days until spring break. Only six and a half weeks! This semester is going to go by really quick.

I still need to figure out a lot of things in college (I lost my ID! D:) like where I'm going to live next year and with who. Plus classes will be challenging. *Takes deep breath*

大家一起加油!!!~~~

...but a new one is just beginning.
大東 (will) 愛,
晨晨.
