OMG ....not again.....

It happened again, on the green line again, and I wasn't even wearing anything revealing (=..=)m...

Okay, so here's the story...
I got on the crowded green line train to go back home. Since there were many people by the time I got on, I had to stand and hold the steel bar to keep myself from bumping into anyone.
Then I noticed someone's hand moved closer and closer to mine as I tried to moved my hand away.
This very daring guy gradually practically covered my hand with his hand. When I looked up and tried to ask him nicely to remove his hand...and then he just started asking things like...

_ "Are you from China"
_ "Are you a student? How old are you?"
_ What school, what you study..

Because I'm such a nice person (yes I am)...I answered him anyways but appeared uninterested in the conversation..yet this guy kept on pestering me (Seriously, do you ask someone you don't even know with so many questions? =..= )
Where is his commonsense? and he looked like 26+?

I avoided further annoyance by running to the closest train...

After these cases, I think I tend to attract perverted old men...unconsciously and unwillingly.....

Problem with the Short-Shorts

I am again a victim of sexual harassment on the train...

I hate this.

------------------------------------------------------------------


At 5 feet 1 inch and about 90 pounds, I'm quite short, especially comparing to the height of an average American female which should be around 5 feet 6 inches. I can dress in middle school uniform and have no problem concealing my age. So at this height, my legs are, of course, relatively short in length...I look decent...not ugly and not strikingly pretty either...

Because of these, I never expected that I would be a victim of sexual harassment. I thought this kind of things only happenned to pretty girls, but one particular afternoon proved my preconception of sexual harassment wrong.

It was a nice afternoon in September. The weather was cool so I put on a shorts-shorts to go out and buy some art supplies for my drawing course. As I got on a training heading downtown I felt as if someone was looking at me...maybe a man around 50 years old or so...
But I quickly dismissed that feeling--it was rush hour the train was quite packed, so of course there would be lots of eye contacts.
Though when I reached downtown and changed train, the feeling kept coming back. Even without my glasses, I could tell the intensity of the stare on my body--as though the person was trying to strip me naked.
I tried to moved to a different car, but I noticed the man followed me and sat right in front of me...I tried to avoid his gaze, pretending to look at the pictures in my phone and listening to music.
The tension lasted for about 10 minutes until he finally got off the train--not forget to approach me with a perverse smirk and said loud enough so that everyone could hear,

"You have beautiful legs..."





The victim is left bewildered.

The train's door closed and an automatic voice proceeded, "The destination of this train is ...."


Case # 2

I thought I wouldn't wear that shorts ever again, but I did.
This time it was by a group of young boys..probably high schoolers, who thought I was their age..
until I said, "Hey I'm way older than you guys, I may not look like it, BUT I'm a college student!"

Like that would help anything...and this boy bluffed that he was also a college student who went to Boston University.

How amusing it was that he picked Boston Uni out of all universities in Boston...because it's actually my school...it was an advantage I had over him, but I guessed I might as well move along with the little boy's lie. So I said,
"O wow REAAAALLLY? What school are you in then? I'm in CAS (College of Art & Science)?"

The question had an immediate effect as there was dumbfounded look on the boy's face...He tried another futile attempt,
"Oh yea I'm majoring in business...you know..."

I refrained myself from a LOL, it was a good thing that I got off and got rid of the stupid conversation with those boys...
As I was walking on the streets, I encountered a few other teasing (are the males around here desperate or what?)
All of these, I think, was because I wore that shorts shorts...maybe it unintentionally triggered these perverts' testosterone.


And that was the only time I wished I'd have bucked teeth, crazy hair, hairy legs, and a battlefield of pimples on my face--until I escaped from that place...

When I Dream

She woke up to see the early morning dew. It was a chilly morning so she made herself a cup of ginger tea.


Just like that, with just a little cup of ginger tea...she watched as the world went by..

I could build the mansion
that is higher than the trees
I could have all the gifts I want
and never ask please
I could fly to Paris.
It's at my beck and call,
Why do I live my life alone
with nothing at all

*
But when I dream, I dream of you,
Maybe someday
you will come true.
When I dream, I dream of you
Maybe someday
you will come true

I can be the singer
or the clown in any role
I can call up someone
to take me to the moon
I can put my makeup on
and drive the man insane
I can go to bed alone
and never know his name

But when I dream,
I dream of yon in any role
I can call up someone
to take me to the moon
I can put my makeup on
and drive the man insane
I can go to bed alone
and never know his name

The Seed Moth

The seed moths invaded my kitchen. They came from the dried Chinese apples my mom usually used to make beef noodle soup.
They multiplied so fast! First, there were just a couple of individuals and then the number doubled, even tripled...

What appalled me the most was when they made a nest out of my old cereals! I did not mind feeding the hungry creatures these left-over food. Yet the sight of thousands of seed moth larvae that closely resemble the fat maggots sickened me. It gave me chill everytime!

I burned the nest....

just like I did with other uninvited creatures who invaded my kitchen. Of course, I could squash them--the attack my mom often chose, but I preferred fire as it left no broken wings, no falling- out legs, and smashed guts. Moreover, it killed the insects in one piece, so all you had to do was bringing the unfortunate corpses to the burial place--the trashcan.

May I be condemned to burn in hell for such cruelty! But I would still choose it. I have reasons to excuse my way of killing.
Fire is actually sacred. In most culture, almost all of their rituals involve fire, so you see how important fire is for religious belief.
Some of us even choose fire over burials for our loved ones.

Hence, I had every right to give the insects a sadistic yet respectable death.

And being a sadist, I would of course save a few moths and put them all in a bottle--to quench my thirst for an observable knowledge, my curious mind, and heartless pleasure.

I had placed some crackers inside the dry bottle, so the insects would survive as long as they could.
I put a total of 7 adult moths and 2 cocoons. After almost a week, there were 9 moths and about 4 already died off. I also noticed a miniature larvea (as expected, I saw the female were laying eggs, it amazing how I could observe this life cycle). Did a little research and found that seed moth adults can live for about 14-15 days.



I would still keep the bottle, to look at them whenever I'm bored. Some people actually do this with ants, which I believe, is way more interesting to observe.

Insects are fascinating creatures, in a disgusting way. (especially roaches, good thing I haven't seen any now)

Super funny ads

Thai ads are the best, I spent hours of watching them
If American ads commercials are like these, I wouldn't mind commercial breaks :D


Smart actor dog!


Brilliant toothpaste ad !


Beer lol

Puppies!

She suddenly called me one afternoon and said, ''hey I want to buy a pet!''
And so I spent hours and hours searching for the one. (She prefers cute little short-haired chihuahua)
I've contacted 3 potential sellers, none have replied...yet. Anyways, I ''stole'' their puppy's pictures and put them here (can't get enough of them <3) onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.puppyfind.com/member_photos/full/a/av479s8g11a.jpg">

I like the guy in blue best! But I'm ok with anyone actually! (Because I have some great plans for the cutie! -grins-)

They remind me so much of my last puppy Best, 6 years ago. I miss him so much that sometimes I wanted to cry. And it also bought tears to my eyes to see such loving companions are mistreated/killed in the most cruel-some way...

Anyhow, I found a picture of Best and me (still in pajama ;O lol) 6 years ago. (oh wow I looked so innocent back then ;O)


Rest in peace Best, you'll be forever in my heart <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjclLwNV7Iq8ASHCYF_a1XvcF9T5G-zyv2p_Zgmovc2HmhmemGbcrPDjSb1Xn2U1m-84YHwKv2E96hEx2vYo0Q80lOaN-1wuLtT7kOPx5qA2-1Jo_GXgEQC1hpgeIVikhVKZfP-JncJ3Dk_/s1600-h/7thof7th.jpg">
