  • I've changed so much since i came here. ever since i came, everything changed. i am never the little girl again, there isn't a day that i'm truely happy, there are always moments during the day when i feel aweful, when i feel that it's the end of the world. it's been 2 years, but the hate n bitterness are still deep in my heart. they are never gone. n i know that i am the one who's not letting them go. i hold on to them so tightly that i just don't know how to let go anymore. i want to let go or maybe i don't. hate n bitterness have became drugs to me. i am addicted to them.

MisssNutsss (上午 12:06:06): yea

TaiwangirlVivian (上午 12:10:06): that's not true
TaiwangirlVivian (上午 12:10:20): i really think personal statement is more important
TaiwangirlVivian (上午 12:10:44): and for UCs..SATII count heavier than SATI
MisssNutsss (上午 12:10:51): o
TaiwangirlVivian (上午 12:11:02): but it really doesnt matter which school u end up attending seriously
TaiwangirlVivian (上午 12:11:13): in college...really doesnt matter

MisssNutsss (上午 12:11:50): i mean it will be soo embarrassing to tell ppl that i go to de anza
TaiwangirlVivian (上午 12:11:55): because it is really about what u learn outside of classroom count..which means what u put on ur resume
MisssNutsss (上午 12:12:01): or some kind of college that ppl haven't haerd of
TaiwangirlVivian (上午 12:12:02): so?

TaiwangirlVivian (上午 12:12:16): many of my friends transfer to good UCs after 2 years of CC
TaiwangirlVivian (上午 12:12:21): it's a lot cheaper
MisssNutsss (上午 12:12:37): the sucess rate is getting lower each yr
TaiwangirlVivian (上午 12:12:44): well...but it feels even worse that u graduate from brown and cant find a job

GOD, where are you? WHERE ARE YOU?????? Why aren’t you here when I need you? WHY?! Can you not see me suffering? Why are you doing this to me? Why do you put me through this? Why do you have me deal with something that I can’t handle? Why did you leave me? Aren’t you suppose to be the loving and amazing god that you are famous for? Didn’t you say that you love your children? Am I not your child? Then WHY? Why are you letting me suffer? A father doesn’t let his children suffer, does he? A father loves his children soooo much that when his children don’t feel good, he doesn’t feel good too and when his children cry, his heart should feel like being stabbed with a knife! Can you feel a knife stabbing your heart right now? Can you feel my pain? Do you know how I feel? You do, don’t you? I mean YOU SHOULD, you are the God who knows everything. God, I just don’t understand. Why do I have to go through this? Do I deserve it? What did I do wrong? I am ANGRY, VERY ANGRY!!!!!!! Why am I here?! I hate here! I hate everything about America, everything in America! I hate public schools! I hate poor schools! This school has no money and it has a disgusting campus! I hate being poor! I hate life! I hate pretending! Pretending that I'm the happy, pretending that I feel great, pretending that everything's fantastic. And do you know any of that? God, do you? DO YOU???!!! I just don’t get it, I really don’t. Why am I here? Ain’t I suppose to be in England? Oh, I know! My parents aren’t rich enough to support the expensive tuition fee, so they kicked me here after letting me enjoyed one year in heaven. I kept telling myself that knowing God is the biggest present I got in America and this was the biggest purpose that you sent me here but I realized that it was a lie, an excuse that I told myself to make me feel better.
everything has a purpose and what is the purpose for this god?  i am tired, i really am. i wish everything would come to an end.

  • my senior pix came today, all 7 of them look horrible. stupid proimage/photographer, mostly the photographer's fault! halo?! can't u see that i have extremely wide n thin shoulders aka this position doesn't fit me! n my baggy n different size/shape eyes n n my head looks 50X bigger than my body!! it looks like a watermelon on top of a baby bamboo stick! n my flat nose n my too shiny lip gloss n my eyebrows r too high n i look like a wax smiling!

    the song that's playing rite now is my new obsession, just love the lyrics, they are sooo meaningful!

    THIS LITTLE CHILD

    Written and Performed by Scott Wesley Brown

    Verse 1
    Who would of thought that long ago
    So very far away,
    A little child would be born
    And in a manger laid?
    And who would have thought this little child
    Was born the King of kings,
    The Son of just a carpenter
    For whom the angels sing?
    And who would have thought that as He grew
    And with other children played
    This child with whom they laughed and sang
    Would die for them some day
    And who would have thought this little child
    Could make a blind man see,
    Feed the hungry, make rich the poor
    And set the sinner free?
    Oh who would have thought this little child
    Was who the prophets said?
    Would take away the sins of man
    And rise up from the dead!
    [Chorus]
    And I believe! And I will always sing,
    "This little child is the King!"
    Oh, I believe. And, I will always sing,
    "This little child
    He is the King of kings!"

    Verse 2
    Many years have come and gone
    Yet this world remains the same.
    Empires have been built and fallen
    Only time has made a change.
    Nation against nation.
    Brother against brother.
    Men so filled with hatred
    Killing one another.
    And over half the world is starving
    While a banner of decency is torn.
    Debating over disarmament.
    Killing children before they're born.
    And fools who march to win the right
    To justify their sin.
    Oh every nation that has fallen
    Has fallen from within!
    Yet in the midst of this darkness,
    There is a hope, a light that burns.
    This little child -the King of kings-
    Some day will return!
    [Chorus]
    And I believe! And I will always sing,
    "This little child is the King!"
    Oh, I believe. And, I will always sing,
    "This little child
    He is the King of kings!"

    Verse 3
    Who would have thought this little child
    Is who the prophets said
    Will return to judge this world
    The living and the dead?
    Oh, can't you see that long ago,
    So very far away,
    This little child-- our only hope--
    Was born a King that day!?
