Chapter 1- from night to day on the Pacific

It's a rough start....
But met two nice people
...........
Finally! it's time to get aboard!
It's already 23:45
"Welcome aboard!"
I thought "Aboard... to a whole new world"
And I smiled...

It's so crowded!
Most are going for college in Seattle
All from different places
And this
Is when I met them

A lady going back to Seattle meeting with her children who had already finished college
And
A girl who is also starting her new chapter of life going for community college

And as the plane accelerates toward the whole new world
The air hostess who is new to this special job sits in front of us smiling

But suddenly it's all wrong...

The plane shook and began to slow down
Pillows flew to the front rolls
Air hostess terrified held on to the wall

The plane came to a halt
We all looked at each other, all shocked

Later the pilot announced that something is wrong with the dashboard

"oh my god, It's gonna be a rough start!" said the lady.
.................
Indeed, we all get our bags from the lockers and head back to the gate
.....….……
Holding a re-boarding ticket, a cup of water, and a small bag of cookies
I sat there and messaged friends in Seattle
Announcement came, saying flight delayed and will take off later on 2:00 am
…………
We are reunited on the plane again
…..……

Farewell

Took my last shower
And glanced into my room before the door shut
I'll keep some of my memories in my mind and some in the room
I'll make sure they stay there perfectly... unchanged...

pots of plants, I have been taking care of, will grow or die... but after all they'll change...

After three months,
I'll be back, all different, changed?

Anyway
I'm on my way to airport now
And I'll arrive The other side of the world on the same day!
Cool ah? Like reverse!

Hello Seattle!

taken with my D90 with double exposure!
cool ah?

i'm here

haven't been updating
i'm really sorry
cuz i wasn't feeling well these days... mentally
just feel empty and i dunno.... though i'm really excited about spending my future in Seattle
i think i will lose lots of things.... those i really hope i can hold on to and those i really want to get separated from.... :/
kinda feel complicated... :(

and yeh i was really busy recently
packing up stuffs and cleaning up my rooms cuz they're gonna be empty for months

and just went out bowling and had a dinner with my mom and my godmother and her brothers and sister
it was fun! but when i got home i just couldn't stop thinking about those complicating things....
going to be busier on friday
it's beneficial though cuz i'll be out and wandering around and meet with friends

oh yeh and i got the hugest surprise ever
knowing that one of my works is discovered by a magazine people
he is asking me to send the file and my info and a brief description of the photo
and if my photo is published, he'll send me the magazine!! :)))))

and yeh recently i found a webcomic and i like it very much!
and imma share it with you
it's called "Hanna is not a boy's name"
having fun reading it and looking forward to the update!

lol stupid bolds! imma bold them forever!

a familiar feeling....

well, i have been working in a cram school (finally get its name right)
and i think it's a great place, real friendly

and today i was typing out the summaries of listening passages from a TOEFL book
reading through all the passages are tiring,
so i took some time just sitting there and staring things around me

ladies there are talking and walking around
making sense of their work and daily update of their life

i have seen them being with each other since my first time in the cram school
so i'm guessing their friendship can be traced back to a long time ago :D

OMG!

i went to bed at about 7 pm last night
and woke up today at about 7 am
and i dreamed a lot
i even got a dream within a dream

cuz i remember from my last dream
i said something about how brains are organized
and i saw images from previous dreams

that only means i dreamed about a dream where i talked about dreams!!!!
it's a dream within a dream omg!!
