Madonna

As some of you guys may know August 16th is Madonna's birthday. This year I went theough a bit of a madonna phrase. So as a late tribute for Madonna's 55 birthday I guess I'll share some songs with you guys and you guys can all tease me for my fascination with madonna.

Madonna is one of the most well known female singers of all time. She is the embodiment of 80s/90s pop culture. She has topped multiple Forbes lists charts for anual earnings and for being a cultural icon. She has sold over 300 million records, known as The Queen (of pop), started a lot of the major fashion trends in the 80s, and was also an infamous gay icon back in the 80s.

I personally like her 80s songs more than any of her other songs. 

So this first one is probably the most sexual out of all of them, but compared to stuff today I think your ears will be able to handle this.
"Like A Virgin" by Madonna (1984?)
Don't quote me on any of the dates.

"Holiday" (1983)
This has to be one of the first songs I ever heard from Madonna. Even though it's probably somewhere at the bottom of my favorites lists it's pretty sentimental for me.

"Who's That Girl" (1987)
I really didn't like this song at first, but then I kinda got addicted to it. I sing it to annoy my sister every chance I get.

"Like A Prayer" (1989)
Probably one of the most iconic songs by Madonna (in my opinion).

"Open Your Heart" (1985)
One of my favorite songs by Madonna. Nuff said.

"Papa Don't Preach" (1986)
This is kind of like "Billy Jean" by Michael Jackson, but from the girl's perspective.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20U0hJ9DaVU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

"Material Girl" (1984)
I have fallen in love with this song ever since Walk Off The Earth did a cover of this. This ladies and gentlemen is where stuffing money in your bra came from.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbJa10fzNOM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

"True Blue" (1986)
This has to be my favorite Madonna song of all time. Don't judge me.

So there you, have it a complete list of all of my favorite Madonna songs. Now if you guys have like an 80s day at your schools or anywhere else I believe this will be extremely helpful.

Your welcome ;)

Height Problems

Good day pink masters ^_^ As you guys can tell it's lwang1341. Who else calls you guys all these weird things and obnoxiously uses emoticons to end her sentences instead of periods?

Today I wanted to talk about something that myself and my fellow bloggers have noticed about ourselves. We are either short or tall and we either get shorter or taller depending on the circumstances. Now as for myself I have always considered myself average/tall. In elementry school when they had us line up in size order I was always in the middle or towards the back, but, and I emphasize the "but", I was never last in line. I thought that I was at a pretty decent height seeing how I went back to middle school this summer for alumni "game night" and I basically towered over all of the girls there.

In photography camp I also considered myself average seeing as if you were to line us up in height order I would be right smack in the middle. However, the moment I step foot into family territory, whether it be a cousin's house or my house I am automatically "short". To give you guys a reference I am approximately 5ft 4.3in or about 164.14 cm tall. I swear the .3 inches make all the difference in the world. Many of you guys might think that I'm young and I can still grow, but I actually haven't even grown a centimeter from last year. Now to give you guys even more of I reference I live in the United States where the average woman is about 5 ft 4.5 in. I am however Chinese and the average Chinese woman is about 5 ft 2. So if you guys want to get super duper technical I am "shorter" than the american average by about .2 in and taller than the Chinese average by a bit more than two inches. Coolios I'm just average, done right?

Nope, not done. My own cousin who is around 4 ft 7 in deems me as "short" -_- I have no problem with people taller than me calling me short but seriously? At least be over 5ft if you want to call me short=_= I can see where she is coming from though. My family is pretty damn tall for a group of asians. My mom and all of my aunts are about 5ft 7(170 cm). I have a female cousin who is almost 6 ft (roughly 180cm) tall. All the males in my family above the age of 14 are over 5ft 9. My grandfather is about 6ft 1. My parents are 5ft 7 and 5ft 10-11 respectively. My uncle is the shorty in the family just barely brushing 5'9 lol

My mom constantly tells me that I'm short and that my sister and my 4'7" cousin will surpass me in height....are you serious? I can she how my YOUNGER sister who is only .05 inches shorter than me will surpass me but seriously? Last time I checked purberty does wonders but I doubt it will shoot a person up a whole foot. I myself only grew 4 inches. My mom could be an Asian model, yes our species is that short don't hate, and she doesn't get that she's motherfrikin tall as herrrrr. I tell her that I am taller than pratically every Asian female outside of our family and she responds with "Well what about Caucasians?". I have to admit I am shorter than a lot of Caucasians that I have met, but I have also met a decent amount of Caucasians who are SHORTER than me *snap*.

Outside of my family I'm basically considered tall by my school mates and my fellow Asians. I'm basically at least half a head taller than most of my girl and some of my guy friends. It is pretty awkward at times, but being my height I guess I can do without heels at special occasions for the next few years yay! So while my mom prays to the heavens above for a late growth spurt I shall bask in the glory of my tall, er um, short, er um ..........I just like my height okay.....

I'm pretty sure another blogger will do a blog post about being short too so until then ; )

LOVE

Hello, okay to start I am not trying to write a hate letter to anyone in a romantic relationship. As long as you are not snogging in my face I couldn't give an eff who you date. However, I have noticed how people change once they are in a relationship.

We are going to high school and many of our friends are dating now (some have been for a while). And I get it, you are a young teen and you are head over heels "in love" with this person and the concept of love is new to you, so naturally you want to spend all of your time with them. The couple then starts doing mushy movie couple stuff, and it goes downhill for friends from there. They are there making you feel like shit because you want to tell them to stop this, but you don't wanna hurt their feelings. The worst thing is that they have no idea they are doing that. The saying is "Love is Blind" but I think "Love is Blinding."

When we are teens we have so many hormones where everything runs at 100%. If we fall in love, we fall pretty hard at 100%. We let it consume us because it is a new feeling and what not. However, we can talk like this to a friend forever and they are like "OMG Yes, IKR, I hate it when that happens." Then comes the crushing feeling when they are doing those things you pointed out earlier. Let's face it though, most of these relationships are going to go downhill because this is not real love. You are hormonal, and as soon as you are attracted to someone (which is normal), you will start thinking deep into it. Your mind has been affected by media and you believe in love at first sight and all that. You will like this person for a while, and then you will grow older and find other people you like.

Before the relationship your friends are fine and cool with you. You two talk all the time, call each other names, and plan things together. You two wreak havoc when you go places and can sit together for long periods of time in silence. When they are in a relationship, their significant other(s.o) goes everywhere with them, if you talk to one, you talk to the other. This is uncomfortable for me. Here are some annoying things that tend to happen: They are always doing lovey dovey stuff, and its irritating to you because you remember that same friend telling you how they disliked that. And they refer to them and their s.o. as "we." Like NO you are not one person, you are two individuals. Oh Lord I have not begun to talk about the language involved, the "babe", "sweet", "dear", GOD DAMMIT YOU ARE 14 NOT 18+. And not only do they feel the need to express their love in real life, they also do it over social media. The worst part is the PDA(Public Displays of Affection). You know that painful feeling you get when you see that friend, who was ranting about those two people on the train kissing, and they are one of the people kissing on the train. Your reaction is "WELL FUDGE, I THOUGHT I SAID THIS EVENT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PG"

One time some friends and I went to the movies. And two of our friends are dating each other, so they obviously sit together and no one had a problem with it. At first it was fine, but then I guess they got bored because they started kissing. I was extremely awkward and uncomfortable for one of my friends because he/she was sitting right next to them and was sharing popcorn. Imagine reaching over to get popcorn because the person who was supposed to pass it to you was busy kissing.

I'm the end all I want to say is that I am happy you found you one you love :D, keep being happy. I have some friend who date other who are fine, I love them and I love their s.o. However, I hate that awful feeling I get when you treat me like the third wheel. That was probably Harry's reaction to Hermoine and Ron dating. Its not a good feeling at all, its sometimes painful to watch a friend drift away because they want to spend more time with their s.o.  and you don't want to seem like a jerk by bringing up the awkwardness. When I date, I want a friend to hit me in the head with a log anytime I act like an asshole. You know I don't hate on love, I totally believe it is possible, but don't shut people out.

Photography Camp ^_^

Hello my smexy mushrooms okay so I'm I'm currently suffering from post camp depression I'm going to write a post about it to try to lessen my pain.

I did a photography camp at New York University and it was called iD Visual Arts and let me just start by saying that camp was so much fun!

I'm pretty sure that there's an ID visual Arts at Yale and Princeton and some other universities, but I'm really glad that I chose to do I do it at New York University because after all I am a New Yorker and New York is one of the most iconic cities in the world so it was no surprise that international students came to New York. There were actually three international students in my camp at iD Visual Arts and  there was a girl from Massachusetts and from Alaska and the three international students were from Australia France and Poland it was really cool. It was great getting to know different cultures and you learn about how Australians say lolly for candy and how thongs are slippers and then you  subconsciously use mate every now and then. It was a very very eye opening and it was a great experience it was nice learning about how the Polish start drinking very young and it was great learning about the dirty minds of Europeans, it was absolutely fantastic. We also had a lot of inside jokes. When you walk into New York University there is a row of clocks telling you the times from different cities around the world and there was a New York clock and a Brooklyn clock. If you guys don't know Brooklyn is a part of New York but for some reason the Brooklyn clock was 4 hours ahead of the New York clock so that kinda came a joke. Like, hmmm I wonder what time it is in Brooklyn and, you know you need a passport to get to Brooklyn and since I came in from Queens, hmmm i womder what time it is in Queens, its only like three hours ahead right. It was awesome and if you guys notice there's an arch in Washington Square Park and the Ark is basically copied from Paris so that was a joke too and it was just a lot of fun and for the first couple days we stayed around Washington Square Park around the East Village area around the Soho area and we just took pictures of everything and then I believe up by the end of the first week we went to UVPhactory and if you guys don't know what you UVPhactory is, it's an animation company and they do a lot of animation did the Power video Kanye West and they also did some animation for the Smurfs and they did a commercial for Nike Air.
They just a lot of great stuff I recommend that you guys check them out so yeah that was great and then um we went to the High line and we went to Chinatown we want to we went to Central Park to and it was just a lot of fun we formed a strong bond because there's only about six kids in my photography class there was two students in film and there was about three students in special effects. Actually there's actually one more international student. I forgot about her she was from Turkey and she actually have to leave halfway through to go back to Turkey for a family thing.
I just feel really grateful that we had such a great group because not all groups got along well, but we got along really well and we still keep in touch. You just know that groups going to be a good group when there's a bromance. So overall I really enjoyed my experience and I made some great memories <3

OMG High School

Hakusenkan Academy ~Special A! :3

Hey guys! Recently, I have been getting more randomly excited than usual. And it's not because of the
random flashbacks I get to the kdramas I watch or the mangas I read.
It's because of HIGH SCHOOOLLL!!
There is sooo much media on high school, yet I don't know what to expect.
Being a very shy person (well actually I'm like a banana. The peel is very sour and ugh, but once you actually peel it open, it's very sweet and yummy), I don't really know how to start off high school. I definitely do not want to be slow in making friends like I was in 6th grade (when I entered intermediate school). I wanna be able to open up to others early on.
I want to be FREE!!!
Also my sister mentioned something about how the lockers are up for grabs. Or at least that is how it was at Brooklyn Technical High School (11 years ago *cough* *cough*)  O.O I don't like the sound of that.
Despite my self-awareness about my taciturn nature, I still have fantasies about my awesomeness.

For example:
1. I will be the president of the Student Council and DOMINATE THE ENTIRE SCHOOL!! MWAHAHAHA!!! (like in Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama ohohohohoho~!)
          A. To be president, I hear you have to be very talkative in order to gain votes. You need to be able to talk to the teachers as well as students. (Pshhttt forget teachers, it takes me so long to break out of my comfort zone and talk to other students!)
2. I will be the best at EVERYTHING! People will come up to me and ask for help in all areas, and due to my vast knowledge, skills, and generous nature I will help them.
          B. Everything? Hmph ok I can try to be the best at classwork. Even if I am not the best when I enter, I know I will try everything in my ability to reach the top. However, I am not athletic at all. I really suck at sports. I have no coordination at all. And what do I do about it? Nothing. I sit on my lazy bum all day on the computer, laptop, on my phone, and mayyybee practice. Also, I am having doubts on my violin skills. I will have an audition for violin to join orchestra, and I keep thinking about how I will be put into 3rd violin, or kicked out altogether. You know why? Because I haven't practiced Western music in 3 years. When I finally practiced today, I sucked so bad, I lost a lot of faith in my self. (A lot, but not all! If I practice everyday, I think I will be able to brush up a little bit! The visual novel "a2 a due" gave me hope :3 )
And did I say generous? Me? Generous? HA HA! At least I am more generous than cookieluvah here. *cough* *cough*
3. I will be sooo awesome at French that I will skip maybe a year or two or French and have at least French honors by senior year.
          C. HAH! SKIP A FEW YEARS?! After one year of French in 8th grade, I was put back to French I at my high school because even though I wrote well, I spoke terribly! And now I fantasize about skipping a few years!
4. I will open a Japanese club. And somehow I will acquire so much money (from the student council hehe) that club members will be able to go to Japan.
          D. Mmmhmm now I want to be President of the student council AND President of my so called Japanese club. HAH! What club? What if no one joins? My dream will be crushed. :'(

So yea, these are a few of my fantasies, along with my self doubts. This post is kinda long...
But anywayz, even with my self-doubts, I WILL STAY STRONG! FIGHTING! I will work to the end till my fantasies come true! After all, isn't that what high school is all about? :D
