I never really DO believe in this stuff but it’s always fun to see what they say.
I’ve bolded the things I agree with, and italicized the things that are false. Untouched = I’m not sure. Credits to Colleen & Jeanette for showing me this!
November 8 Scorpios walk their own path in life, and, even if it is difficult, they usually resist help. They give advice rather than take it. They see life on a broad, episodic scale. They have a quirky vision that may not accord strictly with reality. If they are bold enough to divulge that vision, they can be handsomely rewarded.
| Scorpio Information for November 8 You should embrace: Destiny, spiritual love, one’s true self You should avoid: Compulsive behavior, spitefulness, disrespect |
Friends and Lovers
These individuals are secretive and have a hard time allowing other people to be intimate in their lives. They combine sultry sexuality with romantic spirit. They fall in love deeply, and, if something goes wrong, they are likely to suffer great emotional pain.
Children and Family
The standoffish attitude of November 8 people usually has its roots in their upbringing. They do not take parental duties lightly. They teach their children about the good things of life and its hardships as well. This may seem harsh, but they believe they owe it to their youngsters to send them into the world prepared.
Health
November 8 men and women generally take a common-sense approach to fitness and health. They eat a moderate diet, and they rarely overindulge. November 8 individuals understand the need to take special precautions concerning their sexual activities.
Career and Finances
November 8 individuals treat their profession with great seriousness. Whatever they do for a living, they put all their efforts toward success. They prefer to work behind the scenes. They constantly search for bargains, unwilling to part with money unless it is for necessities or infrequent frivolous pleasures.

…I’m really worried for you. I hope everything in your life is okay. I hope you find the inspiration to pull yourself out and live a beautiful life.
I hope you know that I love you a lot and that I’m always your friend.
People in this world do care. I hope you can believe that.
Last Day
Aug 15th
…of summer.
Surprisingly, I’ve had a very normal day. I slept in this morning, did some social networking, and then went out on a trail with both my parents. I had Kukje Market sushi for dinner (yum~) and I am probably going to do a bit of reading tonight.
I’m kind of laughing on the inside at everyone who is scrambling to finish their summer reading. Sorry. I finished both my books a couple weeks ago, and have also completed all my AP Chinese homework (read a book, watch two movies, write a journal). Stanley said that Ms. Chang randomly picks three people to share their homework with the class, and I am nervous that I might be picked, so I wrote up summaries in Chinese on what to say. I’m crazy. I know.
I also updated my portfolio and am working on designing another site. :]
Photoshop Basics
Aug 11th
So I’m volunteering at a research lab in UCSF and they made me write up a detailed protocol on how to make figures (like the images in scientific papers). I spent so much time on it I thought I might as well post it up…
Photoshop: Enhancing Images & Creating Figures
Tips:
- Use rulers (Ctrl+r or Command+r).
- Use guides. Enable rulers, click and hold anywhere on a ruler and drag cursor towards image.
- Use adjustment layers. Go to your layers panel (Window > Layers) and click the half black, half white circle. A list of possible adjustments should appear. More >
Miss Asian America Pageant!
Aug 8th
Last night I attended the Miss Asian America Pageant @ the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre. It was super fun. Everyone was super gorgeous. There were plenty of attractive young women, and a surprising amount of attractive young men. Everywhere I looked it was like eyecandy overload. I was very happy. Very very happy.
I got a spiffy VIP badge:
I was also happy to see my own work in public! Look, my name! More >

Bad Karma
Jul 25th
I don’t know what I did to deserve this, but everything is so shitty. I hope all of this passes by, and passes by quickly.
Virginity
Jul 21st
Note: This has nothing to do with sex. NOTHING!
This post is simply a recap about trying new things.
So on Friday and Saturday (weekend of 7/02/2010) I had a little sleepover with my friends! I tried out so many things for the first time: More >
Poster Design
Jul 9th
Stumbled across some cool posters / art, thought I’d share.
The images link back to the appropriate artist.
I don’t know what the first two really are, but the third image is the album cover of Taeyang’s new album, “Solar.” I don’t really like Taeyang but the cover is cool.
