it appears that I haven't posted for a while and people who actually read what i complain about have been asking about it, so here it goes

"sometimes I can't tell the difference between here and china when all i could see are chinese characters on stores and asian faces speaking cantonese or mandarin passing me by."
Only difference is that here, you can't get arrested for criticizing the government.
Oh wait, that was before the Patriot Act.
My bad.
Well, you won't get arrested if you have a lot of money. And/or are a celebrity. Or aren't a minority. Or are Michael Moore. Because no one cares what he says anyway.
"my butt will grow huge if i sit on it any longer"
Actually one of my coworkers said he used to hurt himself by sitting for long periods of time because his ass was too bony.
As soon as he said that, another coworker turned to me and said, "Does your butt hurt?"
"one co-worker suggested me to wear a hat, otherwise my face will darken. i thought, that's just so chinese, but I am a chinese, therefore i ought to remember wear one one of these days."
I was with a friend in a Chinese shopping center when we passed by a Shisheido makeup store, and she pointed out the poster in the window, saying that Shisheido only uses the posters featuring the most white-faced models for their stores in Asian plazas. At their stores in the mainstream malls, she says, the models on the posters are never so bone-white--they're usually slightly tanned in fact. A few days later, I walked past a beauty supply store by 99 Ranch and saw the exact same poster she had pointed out, showing the same model with the pale, pale, face.
I am the only Chinese on the planet who wants darker skin. Why would anyone want light skin? It just burns in the sun anyway. And it makes you look all frail and sickly. So, no thanks.
Though, yes, it does look good on some people.
I am also the only American who wants to gain weight.
"According to your height of 5' 6" your ideal healthy weight is 130 pounds. Your recommended weight range is between 123 and 154 pounds."
I was 13-20 pounds underweight when I weighed myself months ago. That is assuming I am 5'6" and not 5'7", like it says on my driver's license. At 5'7", I would be 25 pounds or more underweight. I can't be entirely sure because I don't know my current weight.
