one of these days when I actually am not so lazy, I might fancy up this profile...till then, this'll have to do.

Anyways I'm currently a high school biology teacher in/around San Jose, California. I studied Biology and worked at UC San Diego for five years and it was the best time of my life, hehe.  I love cute animals and will spend hours looking at the latest lolcats. I like my students and like my class :D even though half the time I'm bumbling around trying to figure out what the heck I'm trying to teach. It's a lot of fun XD. I'm pretty immature at times and am prone to say stupid things often ;D but I have moments, albeit fleeting ;P, of clarity when I can engage in some insightful conversations.

I was born in Taiwan but grew up in America. I'm not sure which part of me I like better. I suppose it depends on who I'm around and who I'm asked to be. At the moment, I'm taking an involuntary break from teaching :P to reflect on my life choices, all the while taking in the sights and sounds of Taiwan.

If you're a fan of current events, California, American or Taiwanese culture, college applications (oh god, why?!), let's chat!






And if you are one of my students... go back to your biology lab writeups!!! What are you doing stalking your teacher online?! ... unless you wanna trade postcards with your teacher? :D

I'm collecting international postcards. I'd love to find out more about your culture... even if it's just from another state in the US. Preferably, the weirder, the better! Chatting and messaging would be great, but given my schedule, I might not be able to respond daily O.o

I'd love to trade parcels too!

If you're in the Bay Area or in California, we can hang out too, although, I don't know how many fun spots teachers know... You can check out the teacher's lounge (Ooo~!) and grab some cafeteria lasagna (Mmm!)

I have a specific interest in Chinese, Korean and Japanese culture, so anything from there would be fun.

I'm working right now to improve my Japanese. Unfortunately, I haven't been working on my Spanish.

I used to edit papers in college and graduate school and I can edit your English papers ;D for school or applications. I can also translate and subtitle your Chinese videos into English... but yeah... that sucks, hehe.

Meeting new people, chatting online, traveling (when I have the money), music, teaching, woodwork, firearms and marksmanship, archery

Right now, I'm really into Hello! Project! Morning Musume, Berryz Koubou, C-ute!, Matsuura Aya!!! I also love Base Ball Bear, Gogo!7188, Moritaka Chisato, Inoue Yousui... and whatever artists friends link me.

Too many >.<
