Study& Goodbyes to my best friend!! 学习与好朋友告别！

Above: My best friend that I met this year @ soccer game in UCLA! His name is Erick! He's a Brazilian international student and really loves soccer(right Erick?).  He came here to study physics and physical sciences(his major). He returned to Brazil a few days ago, and I will really miss him! Good luck to you with everything Erick!

So my vacation had official begun!! Classes are over, and I'm about to have fun! Some announcements: 

Due to budget and financial issues, this year I can't travel to China in September. Yeah, I'm really running low on cash right now and must save as much as I can for my Study Abroad Program. It's very distressing for me now; nevertheless, I shall travel there next year. 

Next, my sis is coming back to town!! Yeah, it's finally time to hang out with her sometime since I really missed her! She's awesome! 

Then I hope Promenade Dance Studio's "zoning problems" gets squared away so I can return to finish my lessons! 

Finally, I'm very blessed to meet a new French friend(mon copain francais)! He's Christophe from Bordeaux! He worked in Shanghai上海 last year and came here briefly to study. He will return to France in autumn. So good luck to you Christophe!

SCC 学生委员会的照片！ Photos from SCC student govt! Aug. 2007!

       This blog presents the wonderful time that I had back @ Santiago Canyon College in 2007! I selected these photos to commemorate my involvement with the student body, student government. 1st photo was our team work activity @ CSULB in August 2007! I'm the only 1 who didn't wore my SCC shirt because I sacrificed when we had our activity, which was to prevent water from flowing out of the bucket by blocking the holes of the bucket! My SCC shirt was drenched while blocking the water flows! That shows my altruistic personality at times. The next 2 are from DiscoverSCC, an orientation program for incoming freshmen students of SCC. We did a happy photo and a funny photo! Funny to see me crying about tragedy lol!  Finally, there's my certificate for being an orientation leader of DiscoverSCC! This is an AWESOME experience for me to pursue a travel/tourism related career because it provided me the necessary skills for a tour guide; I was a campus guide who directed students! Therefore, I was so happy back then!!

怀念四川大地震 秋明展示，小红 Sichuan earthquake memorial тюменъ presentation

Hi all! It's been a while since I posted another blog. So here's the new entry! I want to dedicate this time to ALL the victims of the Sichuan earthquake last year. Those innocent lives lost were very sorrowful, woeful, and lugubrious for me to think. So I'm here to commemorate this moment exactly a year ago(2008/5/12). Wish everyone else who survived a long eternal life! 

张梓林(Zhang zilin) Miss World 2007 who represented China! She's just as hot as the 小红 and Kseniya! Have fun reading the presentation slides! 

She‘s 刘继红 Liu ji hong, played as 小红(xiao hong) in 红楼梦(Dream of the Red Chamber), a classic Chinese novel for all the literary scholars! So I picked her because she's beautiful as well as Kseniya! 

Now, here are photos for my Tyumen Presentation; Tyumen it's a historical city in West Siberia(Russia). It's well-known for the natural resources of oil and gas. Check the photos for more info. This is more like a powerpoint presentation of my project! I mentioned the resources, architecture, history, and education in Tyumen. Most importantly, I decided to include Ксения Сухинова(Rus.) Kseniya Sukhinova, Miss World 2008. She represented Tyumen, Russia for the title thus was important for this presentation. Of course, I do like her and want to meet her someday...but here's 2 more photo of another beautiful Chinese girl!
