Got scared the shit out of me twice today. -__-

So I was driving... It was around 90-100 in the Bay Area... It was the afternoon and the sun was blinding... Reflecting off the road, I couldn't see really far... Didn't see the road curve, tried to adjust the A/C... Kept going straight, almost crashed. D: Luckily my mom was like, turn the steering wheel to the left! I was like what the hell! 2 second reaction... Slammed on the breaks (I got advanced breaking, so it doesn't matter) and I jerked the steering wheel after I felt the car slow down quite a bit. -__- On the bright side! There was no cars with-in 200 feet of me (after the sudden jerk on the steering wheel). XD

Well just today, the second time, traffic lights, I needed to make a right turn... It was yieled and my mom was like STOP! YOU NEED TO STOP! I was like WTF? Drove onto the sidewalk. -__- I was like, it was yield! Don't scream random directions at me! XD But I don't blame her, even though it was 10-20 minutes after I almost crashed, my heart was still racing. -__-

What a day! -__- Still things like this happen on the street all the time. Luckily no accidents right? :) Thank God! I really need to learn the voice commands for my car. That way, I wouldn't need to look down...

Pancakes and Parakeets

So, first off, pancakes. :) I made pancakes today for the first time in my life. They were amazingly good. :O Loved them. Except the first 2... They were completely black. XD Then the second 2 was oddly shaped and partially uncooked... Well the rest of them were good. I think I made around 10-15? Dinner went great. :) Here are a few pictures.

That's cinnamon and maple syrup you see. :)

Now onto my parakeet story... So the other day, I was giving my 2 parakeets (1 recently flew away. -__-) and my cockatiel... I usually do this once every 1-2 weeks. They enjoy it. LOL Especially the part when I dry them off with a not too hot hair dryer... Well anyways, I accidentally startled my blue parakeet (Blue) and she flew off and landed on my cockatiel (Lemon)'s back. XD He ended up giving her a piggy back ride (or birdie back ride). ROFL... Later Lemon got annoyed pecked her a few times... She wouldn't get off, so I had to remove her... Maybe her talons are to sharp? Well here are 2 pictures. :D (The green parakeet's name is Chirpy) Make sure you read the captions too. XD

Lemon's all like, WTF?!

Lemon: Do you see a way out of this?
Chirpy: Nope!
Lemon: -__-"

Deer Poop And The Model Buffalo

Now looking back at my Yellowstone pictures. Well before that, you know how photographers take several pictures consecutively just in case the first picture is bad? Well I think I took a picture of a deer pooping with the poop still half way in the air. XD Take a look. Look closely at behind the deer with the GPS collar, you'll see this blob of stuff. (You can click the photo to view the full size)

一般摄影师不会只拍一张照片，一般会排好几张。我现在在看我的黄石公园拍的照片。我好像拍到了一张鹿拉屎拉到一半的照片。哈哈！仔细看呢个带定位系统的鹿后面，你可以看见有一个东西。（点照片可以把它放大一点）

Now onto the story of how I almost walked into a bison. So there was bisons all around me... There was one in the middle of the sidewalk. It was lunch time, and I was kind of sleepy. It being a real bison didn't really occur to me. I was like, that model of a bison sure look life like... Then I got super close, maybe like less than 10 feet away. I was like, wait! something is wrong. Why is no one petting it and taking pictures with it? o_O Then I saw it turn its head towards me and grunted twice through its nose (probably a warning), and in my mind I was like WTF? IT WAS NOT A MODEL? I was about to turn around and run, but as any wilderness survival book would tell you, do not turn around and run at a time like that. A warning is not threatening, if you run, you may trigger the wildlife's killing instincts. You are suppose to back off slowly and don't show any signs of fear. Dude, that seriously scared the shit out of me!

对不起，我不会翻译中文。我会翻译的部分就是我差点撞了一个野牛。

This is the buffalo in the middle of the sidewalk.

This is the buffalo turning its head towards me and giving me a warning. -__-

Well please wait for my Yellowstone pictures on my photography blog soon. :)

Update 09/27/2010: First part of my Yellowstone pictures posted up! Check them out here!

This school is so awesome!

I went to the try out day at Mid-Pen today. THIS SCHOOL IS SO AWESOME! We got to play Halo during break and there's wifi on the whole campus! Also in Algebra 2, they gave HW that was due 4 days later that I could finish in less than 10 minutes! I think I'm gonna be going there from now on. :D 1 small problem though, no Asian people. :( Unlike MSJ, there is like no Asians there! It is kind of awkward...

I MISS MY PARAKEET :(

It's been a week since Courage flew away. My little green parakeet. I really miss him, but he never came back. :( I wish I can see him again. Really! He was my most favorite bird out of my 4 birds! If you see a green, thin looking parakeet with a red metal tag on one of it's legs somewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area, it's probably mine. If you find it, please contact me here!

Last seen: Fremont, CA
Age: around 2 years old

IS THIS WHERE OUR TAXES IS GOING TO?

Are you serious? We pay our taxes so stupid police officers can fire their stupid tasers with out aiming when they are to lazy to run? Dang, dude, I think someone should fire a taser in this officers head just to teach him a lesson! An officers job is to protect people, not to seriously injure someone!

Stupid Google Voice...

Stupid Google Voice texted me twice on my phone. -__- How the hell should I know that I have to uncheck 2 options in 2 different sections in the settings page to cancel out text notifications? I mean, I already unchecked "Send SMS alerts to phone" on the main page. Shouldn't that take care of it?

Now there is going to be a 40 cent text charge on my phone bill this month....
