Dear Journal,
so I was kinda going to end this one but I became too frustrated with the new way to do layouts on lj and decided to say fuckit for now.
I started seriously studing Chinese as of late. I only ever use it with anna but Donna(her cousin) heard me and complimented my speech sooo I got a bit of a boost of confidence with the language =] I'm still studing Japanese also but its some what on hold due to my frustrations. And it's a damn lie saying that Chinese is the hardest! learning to hear it and correctly say it is more different than most other languages but Thai and Veitnamese and Korean are about on the same level if you come from a latin based background. As far as sentence sturcture, Japanese takes the cake. There are soooo many fucking little extra words to make a sentence mean somthing, the structure its self won't make sence to most latin based people, all the conjugations that you need to remember, differentuating when to use what word, etc. It's fucking nuts X_X basics are easy as pie but passed that the world of Japanese is confusing as shit. I dunno maybe its because when i start to learn something I want to know ALL of it RIGHT THEN ahahah Which is probably why I start stressing over it and it stops being a hobbie. With Chinese though, I'm finding that I'm not stressing. I'm learnign it easier because of that too. well that and I have someone to speak with/ask questions to whos right there and i know well. ANNNDDD i used to watch a lot of taiwanese dramas =] hah i dunno its fun though and I'm trying not to let myself feel rushed.
In other news~
I went to ATL this past weekend with anna, kiet, Jessen, and Jeff. John was also supposed to go but couldn't due to work. such a shame. We left early sat morning and got there around 1. First thing was FOOD. some delish dimsum~~ We met up with Donna, her boyfriend, her friend Taylor, and two of Jessen's friends(they only ate with us soo I cant remember their names) woot it was delish I dont even remember anything else besides eating there. When leaving we headed to the strip to look around and shop. bah 1 store I hadnt been to before but pretty okie place. We were supposed to come back to a resturant there called 'the strip' but it was a 2 hour wait soo we tried a place called Geisha House which was beautiful but ended up not eating there due to nooo service, instead when chilled at long horn ahahha. but we had a great time chatting there. our server was great! and I had an amaretto sour which was delish.
our trip ended the next day lateeeee afternoon after running errands for the store and resturant. bahhh I loveee asain markets sooo much to see and choose from. =] <~~~~ I LOVE FOOD
somethings to remember and no one will ever get these but us,
->Affle(pronouced awfal) Hoe
->The Ater Satellites
->Nalds
bahh there were soo many it was fun~<3
Todays my moms birthday. I feel bad being nicer to my mom compared to my dad...=/ I should be nicer to my dad. He's just a clusmy oof who doesn't mean to hurt people. this year I'll give my dad somthing nice for his birthday and christman, probably food since I really don't want him to pawn what I give him.
