You know you're Chinese if

If you check off 100%, you should not be living in Canada/USA because you are too Chinese. However, if you check off less than 42 items (50%), you are a fruit (banana: yellow on the outside but white inside). If you only say yes to 20 items, Canada owes you a medal …. so proud to be a Canadian/American.

ceiling was my excuse 2 take a pic of us

skywalker lounge

the last night

she visited me in pleasant hill

summer's end...

school's beginning

today.

it said to post a picture of something i’m thankful for:
us…

from the day i met you, to now.

ashleigh,

i remember the first day i met you. it was only day one and you had already caught my eye. from my lame introduction in the elevator, to falling asleep together in the skywalker lounge, i cherish each memory i have with you. i especially remember walking around the boat that first night…wanting to take a picture with you…anything. i just wanted a record of us. hoping someone would see us…you and me together. you made my time on the cruise. our time together seemed short but every moment we spent together was valuable to me. you made my time on the cruise. youre the reason why i tell everyone i had so much fun “in alaska”…
but after the cruise, i wasn’t sure id ever see you again. fortunately however, i was blessed enough to have the chance to see you again at the end of summer, especially when we both thought it wasnt going to be possible. i still remember holding your hand under the lunch table and taking pictures in borders. im so grateful for you and the opportunities ive had to spend time with you, let alone meet you.
while those are now just memories, they’re blissful ones. fond ones. and now today, we are still able to share the same connection and continue to grow stronger together and closer with each other.
i thank God for you everyday. you’ve impacted my life in so many awesome ways. and now, everyday when i wake up thinking of you, i can be happy because you’re mine and i’m yours. i miss u…

you mean so much to me. i wish i could hold you. i dont know what i’d do without you…
you’re the best. we’re the best.

love, steven. [toad]

God [has] bless[ed].

i forgot my lunch today.

and i knew i’d be hungry…so i prayed and asked God to take care of me…

i haven’t eaten this much at school for weeks! it was crazy, too, because i didn’t even ask my friends for food. they just gave it to me. and while it happens occasionally, never in such bounty. i can hardly remember the last time i was full at school. haha God so awesome [:
