THATS ME. I'M 22 YEARS OLD, TAIWANESE AND LIVE IN CALI. I GREW UP HERE, BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD. CHINESE FOOD, VIET SANDWICHES AND THE BEACH R JUST AROUND THE CORNER. I WANNA LIVE HERE FOREVER! IT MIGHT NOT HAPPEN THO? IT'S HARD FOR ME TO THINK THIS BUT LIFE IS CHANGING FOR ME AND I PROB GONNA HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE TO CALI :( WHAT CAN I DO THO? SEEMS LIFE CAN'T ALWAYS BE WHAT WE PLAN IT TO BE...

ANYWAYS I'VE BEEN MEANING TO PUT UP A SITE FOR AWHILE NOW. HERE I GO.




. . . m y . f a m i l y . . .

The first thing I tell everyone about my family is that it is big. I have 4 brothers and sisters... Me and my twin bro are the youngest in the family.

This is my Mom and Dad back in the day. They were both born and raised in Taiwan and where they met, got married, and started their family. They had financially adequate and respectable jobs but moved the family to the US in hopes that their children would find a better life than they believed was possible for them in Taiwan.

Life in the States was not easy for my parents. They had to start their lives over in a country that spoke a language they struggled with and where their professional degrees meant nothing. I know I speak for all my siblings when I say that I am very grateful for the sacrifices my mom and dad have made to give us a chance at a better life :D

At the time of the move to the US the family consisted of my mom and dad, eldest bro, sis, and the baby of my family, my other sis. My twin brother and I were born in the US in 81 and we were quite a surprise to my parents :P It was already a full house before we were born but hey, there's always room for JeLLo?

05-09-2003 - Picked up a used turntable today. It works mostly great except for a slight problem that was fixed with a piece of scotch tape. That crap fixes everything. Other pics are of my amp + radio and tv and one of my trusty speakers. The turntable matches with everything, how perfect :(

04-03to08-2003 - Went to Disneyland for the first time in years. The sub ride is gone, they only sell frozen lemonade at one stand in the entire park, they close at 8pm, and tix are damn expensive. It was a good day. Other pics: Checked out a restuarant that serves Taiwanese food. Happy lizards and cactus come from California.

04-1-2003 - I was the guy shopping at the asian market with a cam today. I got some weird looks but hey I got some nice shots of hot asian girls fighting over grapefruit. I like asian markets.

03-30-2003 - My dad, niece and nephew came home. If u don't know about my strange family arrangement then screw you. I don't have time to tell you . I'm j/p of course. My dad lives with my sis in Washington to help with her kids. It's always nice when they can make it home for a visit.

03-25-2003 - The 3 pics above are from the salt water tanks they maintain at the jc I go to. The thing they keep in Tank 2 scares me... it's a giant shrimp. It is about 10 inches long and has a head that appears to be too small for its large tail. If that thing was served to me at a restuarant I would get the h3ll out of there so fast.

03-19-2003 - oOo finally got a digital camera... I'm so excited. I had to drive to Redondo Beach to get it, a half hour drive, but it was worth it cos I got to stop by the beach to test it out. I think I was in the wrong place tho, there weren't many girls in bikinis for me to shoot... :P Well the cam works great and I should be happy for that. O and why is my journal at the bottom of my page? it's cos i'm copying a friend of mine. roxor.
