Late Fourth

I had better fireworks pictures but I forgot to copy those from my back up hard drive to my current one...and they're erased now because my dad copied the files from my current hard drive to the back up one...darn.

Parade of Dreams

I had no idea what to post that represented "Dream", so I browsed through my photos (or whatever I had left after a virus took over my computer), and found pictures of the Parade of Dreams at Disneyland.

P.S. I said I was only going to be on a hiatus and I have come back!

The Skinny Strummer Boy

My hiatus is done. I said I would be back! Well I have lots of old photos that I realized still existed. Here's Forrest Kline, the lead singer of my FAVORITE band hellogoodbye at the African Renewal benefit concert at Biola University. This concert is my favorite out of the four hellogoodbye concerts I have been to.

I promise, it's a hiatus.

I'll be gone for a week or two...perhaps longer. This month is going to be really bad. I can feel it.

Before



After

I was experimenting with Photoshop. You can choose the better photo (probably the original).
*Sorry, I haven't been updating a lot. I've been busy with state testing and studying for the AP tests coming up. I haven't been taking many pictures either, but I'm not letting this photoblog down!

The Sky's Wine Red

If you don't happen to know, the title of this picture is a paraody (if that's the right word) on a verse of the song Wine Red by The Hush Sound, who I saw in a concert last week. This is just an old photo taken on this year's Chinese New Year.

Perfect Setting (Sarcastic)

What a very odd place to plant these Global Warming advocates. That power plant is located close to Lake Powell in Utah.

Portion of Evolution

I decided to change the title. In the front, you see a 5-year old and in the back, you see a 13-year old. It's like a photo version of an Evolution chart, except this one has to do with a boy's age.

United We Sit

I know, the color's gross. Although most of the people visit the temple are Chinese, you can't forget that they all came to/live in America for a reason, whether it was for democracy, the nice Californian weather, etc.

Just Add Water

I don't like Aquafina, though. And no, all bottled water do not taste the same.

*Sorry for not updating very often anymore. I've been busy with schoolwork.

No Parking

I don't recall seeing one of these signs before in the past ten years of living in my current residence. They were everywhere in my neighborhood.

Emo Kid

He's really a fun-loving guy, despite his common sad appearances.

*Submitted to Photo Friday.

Eek!

I thought this diorama was so cute! It was some English 4AP project on Hamlet (I think, some Shakespeare play for sure. Anyone recognize this scene?). If I can recall, it was made by J. Park, E. O, and ...J. Huang?

I look really creepy. I love my mask!

Always Look Up

PHEW! I got to the Photo Friday website before 10PM (Pacific Time) JUST in time to post the link to this "Self-Portrait" of me.

The Gentle Dragon

Just when I thought I didn't take any pictures of the lion dance that were worth posting on my blog because I sat so far away from the performers, I get near the "lions" AFTER the dance and wait for SOMETHING to happen. I saw how little kids were petting the lions and waited for the lion to be in a good position where I could capture its bright features and a cute kid to come up and pet it. This is the one. Happy last day of the Chinese New Year celebration!

*For the first time in my life, I am hoping for rain. You MIGHT see why later this week.

Together In Peace

I really like this photo. I tried to look for something...I guess beautiful and pleasant looking to photograph. I just saw the lanterns and took one random picture, not even steadying the camera. I notice I say "I" a lot in my blogs. How conceited of me.

Last Year's New Year

Happy New Year! So I don't know why Blogger is being a little evil. It doesn't allow me to add pictures using the dimensions that I put. I think it's working now, though. I took this photo last year at the Hsi Lai Temple during Chinese New Year.
