taken by my brother. First time visiting UCSD March 09
wow..time has passed by so quickly can't believe it has already been a year since i first visited SD
today was a nice day shopping with Diana reminded me of the first time we shopped together girls day out is always fun got some massage then end the night with mah jong just simple chilling. laughters. i am satisfied :) ---------------------------------------------------------
she turned, then opened Mr. A's car door she decided to make a change
@New York's Metropolitan Museum with Degas' painting
done with finals! took the last final with a hugeeeeee headache...hope i did fine now that i have the time, i started to organize my pictures taking a break from organizing, i started looking back at pictures i took in Europe and New York last summer there are so many pictures i can edit with so excited before i never really took the time to adjust pictures i took but now i can go back and do it :) haha..i actually have my bangs up in this picture so funny the things one can do on a vacation care so much less than in normal life
while Mr. A was waiting for her respond the sound of the bus appeared suddenly the girl turned and saw the bus approaching a crowd of people ran towards the bus stop they all seemed so eager to get the bus' attention push. run. wave. yell. all for the attention of the bus driver watching from the side, the girl felt as if she was at the zoo and she thought to herself "do i really want to be one of them?"
The dawn is breaking A light shining through You're barely waking And I'm tangled up in you, yeah
I'm open, you're closed Where I follow, you'll go I worry I won't see your face Light up again
Even the best fall down sometimes Even the wrong words seem to rhyme Out of the doubt that fills my mind I somehow find you and I collide
I'm quiet you know You make a first impression I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind
Even the best fall down sometimes Even the stars refuse to shine Out of the back you fall in time I somehow find you and I collide
Don't stop here I lost my place I'm close behind
Even the best fall down sometimes Even the wrong words seem to rhyme Out of the doubt that fills your mind You finally find you and I collide
You finally find you and I collide
------------------------------------------
the bus seems to have stopped working she's been sitting on the bench waiting, waiting, and waiting so she decided to walk Mr. A showed up at times of need once again he offered her a ride should she accept it?
waking up early always gives me a refreshing feeling seems like you're one of the few that's awake the period of time that belongs to yourself don't have to talk don't have to act don't have to do anything just you and yourself
sometimes you just gotta make some changes in your life it could be for your own good or maybe even for other people's goods but changes in life are inevitable
for my own good i am making a change in my life
i am going to climb the stairs instead of riding the elevator that's right you heard me 7 stories!
I think it is important to know what is happening around the world right now Do you know what's going on around the world right now? Do you know what is happening right on your campus? well as a UCSD student, the passed two weeks have been very critical and maybe even life changing to be honest, i did not even know exactly what is going on all i knew was there were "racial" problems toward African Americans and it never occurred to me that this might affect me my point of view completely changed after attending a meeting tonight, organized by some professors and student orgs that create an opportunity to let people speak, let people talk about the problems and also allow them to ask questions about what has happened at first i did not know what to expect Jeff jokingly said, "maybe we'd have to go around in circle and introduce ourselves." but i was relieved when i saw a bunch of people in the room basically people talked about how asian americans should take this opportunity to speak out as well we are taking the privilege of having so many of us here at ucsd for granted imagine if you were in the position of those who got targeted just because we are now at a more comfortable position it does not mean the racial problems are completely resolve there are still other parts of the world where racism towards asian americans exist what shock me was how i can completely relate to those who talked about their feelings even those of the targeted ones it hit me that i've actually been through the same problems before i forgot about those late night sobs when i first came to America it is bad enough that i did not understand anyone or had only a few friends but on top of that, i happened to be targeted as a laughingstock how could i ever forget the fear that i had to go to 5th period where i'd get bullied everyday? how uncomfortable it is to feel unwelcome put yourself in that position what if there were only 1.2 % asians at ucsd would you still feel the same way as you do right now? would you even come here in the first place? i believe most of the people are like me when this meeting was first presented to me i thought to myself "i probably won't go, as long as i stay quiet i think i'll be fine" but why be selfish? do you feel that racism is okay now once you are not one of the victims? treasure the privilege you have right now racism is a global issue don't you want to make the world a better place? with the bad economy, global warming, and who knows what other problems are out there right now wouldn't you feel better by contributing in things that will better the world? wouldn't you want to make this world a better place for your own offspring? think twice before you step away from the problem pay attention to what is happening around you because it might apply to you even though you are unaware of it
