The Countries I Want To Visit


I wanna go to China, Hong Kong. I wanna see the streets where martial art and Kungfu was born. I want to see the acrobatics on stage, and do some industrial shopping. I would like to see some action and maybe some street gang doing business, as long as I'm not involved. I want to learn about the Taiwanese and Chinese geographic locations and politics system.

I wanna go to Japan, Tokyo. Since I am an otaku (Anime Lover), I love their cartoons and comic books. I want to go to famous Japanese Pop concerts and eat delicious dessert you can't find in America, I want to see the automaton of anime/manga (Japanese comic books) and fashions across the streets, i.e. costume cosplay. I wanna explore sold out theaters around the streets and pretend to ask for directions (knowing that most Japanese do speak English).

I wanna go to India, Taj Mahal. I want to wear Sari Saree and belly dance like those girls in Hawaii. I also want to see the rich culture of their jeweleries and accessories and weddings. I want to enjoy a ritual ceremony with dancing and laughter like Bollywood movies.

I wanna go to Thailand, Bangkok and see mu-ay Thai in boxing rings. I want to see for myself the luxuries of fine dining and rich taste. I want to visit Temples and Shrine and ride an elephant.

And then I wanna go to Mexico, Spain. Italy, France, other European countries, and Jamaica. I do want to travel and have a long vacation someday. But these are just some countries that I want to visit.

Without

There are 3 out of one million things that I cannot live without; Food, Air, and English. There can be so many things in this world, but in my world nothing can ever beat those three. I’ve thought for quite some while now. It's not like if I never got to listen to the music that I like, I'm going to die, or if I don't have my cell phone with me, I’d suicide. Yea its sounds wrong, but I like living and those 3 meant a lot to me. Don’t get me wrong, but the accessories we live by or live on, those are useless, well…what I meant to say is that those are just things we need or want, and to keep us out of boredom or become occupied, but we don’t need those things to SURVIVE (Even along with our house or car). WE don’t really need those things. What we need is the air we breathe and some food to keep us alive and a good language to understand one another.


First of all,

Let’s don’t starve. I mean what good does that make? Learn to love yourself and eat. EAT WHEN YOU’RE HUNGRY. Eat, but beware of becoming obese. Just eat (eating is drinking) anything that goes into the stomach is consider eating. Eat your food, eat your drink, just eat eat eat…BUT eat healthy. Then you would be able to live a long and happy life. Life is surrounded by food, a lot have starved because of it, some died because of it, and some don’t even have a full meal out of it. Be thankful for food and eat on.

Second, Breathe. Breathe in Air. When the song “No Air” came out by Chris Brown and Jordan spark, I was like “Hey! They actually took the idea of the one thing I cannot live without”. Without oxygen, we can’t breathe and we would suffocate. Suffocating is worse than death, suffocating is pain and pain hurts. Why do you think people try so hard to protect earth from the excuse of global warming? Well whatever the case is, I just think people, including one like MYSELF, cannot even live without AIR. Who really cares about how one cannot live with a cell phone if they weren’t able to breathe in clean air??

And Lastly,

I'm really happy to be born learning English. Whether we are born learning the many languages such as Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Albanian, Arabian, Tagalong, Khmer, Hmong, Russian, etc...

I just don't think I can live without English. I think communication is important. You can give me 100 million languages, I DON’T CARE, but as long as it’s in or it have English subtitles. Every other words in every other languages would come out or meant to be the SAME THING, but in a different tongue. What happens if we don’t have English? It’s obvious, and then we’d be speaking a foreign language and not comprehending. For me that is, I am an American born to use English and then learning to love many other languages. And if we don’t have English, I don’t mind at all. Mandarin is the number ONE spoken language in the world now. But I’m still so glad just to learn English. Things are more simple and common in English, and we as human, always want the easy way out. Language is language.

”ouY knikht that hsilgnE si drah. yrT gnitirw hsilgnE sdrawkcab, ew netfo kniht tuoba woh drah rehto segaugnal dna rehto serutluc segaugnal nac eb. dnA, esuaceb ot su, ngierof egaugnal si yllaer tnereffid tub ew tn’od ekat eht emit ot etaicerrppa ti.“

Of course you wouldn’t understand what I’m saying here. We are completely vulnerable; we should be thankful to the English speaking world.

P.S In case you didn’t know what I wrote there, I wrote the English word backward, which I also find it amusing like another language. This is what it said:

“You think that English is hard. Try writing English backwards, we often think about how hard other languages and other cultures languages can be. And, because to us, foreign language is really different, but we don’t take the time to appreciate it.”

Just to see things in another way, there are many things one cannot live without, but to me I really meant it when I said I cannot live without food, air, and English.

Thank You

As school is ending. Isn't there one professor who you would like to thank and appreciate?
Even if this is not the last minute thinging, I ofen re-edit and re-vised my words when I expressed.
Although the semester is almost near ending, I will continued to blog as I was taught. This was my first time blogging and it would not be my last, that is why I want to give a shout out to my professor.

Thank you Professor Azor.

For teaching me so much in English class. For answering me and for listening. I never accepted our English class to be just a regular English class. I took it as RHETORIC ENGLISH CLASS. What I love about this class is that I had learn a lot and I appreciate everything he taught. Not only does writing essay help me with my other classes, but I have gotten so confident in my writing. About the sharing essays. I couldn't believe he would do such thing. For me, it was a great experience to share our experience. Sharing is caring. Always write like you would write to an audience.

Every mind is unique, everyone individual is an inspire writer .We create our own stories. We read and write what we learn. Of course we often can't write about what we like. Writing essays is not about that. It's to go around it. We can still write the way we like, but  right now we should focus on what we are expected to write. In the future, let's all continue to write still.

So many details to expalin in what happen in so little time. I learn to accept not only the bad side, but to see an argument side as well. This opens my eyes to see things like this really happen around us. I'm glad to write essays and I will continue to do so in the future. Forgive me if I had not yet become a failure. For I am always a success when it comes to writing.

Again I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I also want to thank many professors who had helped me become what I am today. But as for now, I appreciate everything I learned so far.
