Sometimes, I can be such a loser =P

Sometimes, I do something or I see something, or something happens and my head goes, "DUDE I GOTTA PUT THAT ON MY BLOG" and then I forget and my eyes go like >.< when i try to remember. And all day, Nobody plays in my head and Wondergirls in front of my eyes. Sometimes i can't help but to sing it out loud, sometimes even dance. SOrry if you ever witnessed any of that.

So today i went to for eyes checkup. I wear Ortho-k contacts, which i put on at night. Unfortunately, I forgot what time my appointment was, so i just guessed and went at 9. When i walked in, they were like

Hi, are you Ben?

Uh yeah

Ok, sign in please

So I signed in but I was amazed at how I guessed the right time. When my doctor checked me at his office, he kept going going, hmmm…interesting…wow…hmm…how weird. So I thought something must be wrong, and when I looked at the name on the portfolio, it read, BEN CHEN. Woahwoahwoah time out, you got the wrong portfolio. As it turned out, my appointment was at 10:30, and some random kid named Ben Chen was supposed to come at 9:00, but they didn’t. What a coincidence.

SO then I went to the library to gather materials for my DIVE research. I found a few books and sat down at a desk to read them. a couple minutes later, a girl came, sat down, took out her laptop and opened it, and started working on something. But a few minutes later, she fell asleep. I was like what the hell? So I left her a cookie on the table and left. That was kinda weird. I was gonna go check out my books when I passed a bookshelf. Guess what was on that shelf?

-----------Breaking Dawn-----------

yes. Breaking Dawn. I glanced at it for a split second, did a double take, and couldn’t resist but checked it out as well. I dunno if I’m even gonna read it. Perhaps I will, but we’ll see.

Yeah anyways I’ve been discovering things about my personality. First of all I’m independent. I became independent faster than most people, because when I lived in Beijing. It’s a huge city, so you gotta know to get around safely and avoid bad people. When I lived in Sweden, I had to take three buses to get to school. I went to a school in a whole different city because it was the nearest one that taught English as first language. I took me two hours to get to school, and I also had to go back home the same way. I had to wake up extremely early to make it to school on time. Often, I was so tired I would sleep in the bus and get lost because it took me farther than I was supposed to go. I was only EIGHT years old. That’s only second grade…I was like, three feet tall. I was alone and had to make my way through the big city. My mom worried soooo much about me, wouldn’t you if your eight year old had to do that? When I lived in Canada then, I resided somewhere similar to Sunnyvale, but town was a few blocks from my house. It was pretty ghetto place, but that’s where I would go to hang out. So that’s probably why I grew up so fast.

Another thing about me is that rules to me is only a guideline, not necessarily followed. Rules limit creativity and artistic freedom. I like to do everything different from everybody else. I like to make my own method of doing EVERYTHING. Also I like to change around how I would do something cuz normal is boring. Spontaneous is best. I thrive on adventure, action, and risk. Anything without it is boring to me, and I can’t sit down for long periods of time…like 30 minutes. That’s why I’m not taking SAT’s again.

Now how bout something about faith? TGIF guys. But how bout TG…period? People marvel at how I can be so relaxed and calm when I have all that schoolwork and SAT’s. Well, realize how lucky all of us are. We live in Sunnyvale, where you can get everything, and your family can afford it. We’re most upper class, or middle class, and we have nice living conditions. What if we were a kid in Africa who has no clean water to drink, no clean house to live in, no new clothes to wear, and get stung by misquitos and our parents can’t put food on the table? Sometimes we complain about school and that it’s too stressing and we’re too busy. Aren’t we lucky to even have a school to go to? We opportunities some kids out age can’t even dream about. Some people don’t even have a school to go to. Some are too poor and are forced by their parents drop out and work to support their family. How about our household? What more can you want, we have peaceful neighborhoods. There’s no gangs and terrorist groups messing up our homes and psyche. What if there were? What if we had divorce parents, or parents and fight and argue everyday? Anyways enough depressing stuff, you guys know what I mean. Think on it.

If your Christian, know that God has a plan for each of us. He will provide us with all that we need.

Now you know why I’m so at ease all the time

No to Drugs,
