Oh hey, the Pyromania items are now available. What's this? A limited time crate? Better get a key from this trade websi- *flooded with offers*

Today was the last day for me to apply to the college course. I overslept. :@

Don't worry, Spirit! I'm sure you'll get accepted!

Went fishing on wedensday. Didnt even get a single bite.

I think the only time I messed up desert and dessert was when I was in primary.

All jokes aside, although the place here is a desert, the Persian Gulf is surprisingly rich in different kinds of fish, sharks, crustaceans and clams. Actually, the fishing industry in this country is the best primary industry second to only oil mining and growing dates.

I went fishing some time in May. I caught over 100 fish with my dad. We're supposed to be going back sometime in mid-July.

One anniversary of being a US citizen. Spending it sweating my ass off in 100 degree weather.

I'm not entirely sure why, but I have been majorly sick the past 5 days. Sucks I have four eight hour shifts for the next couple days since I took the next week off. Problem is today my voice was almost gone, in fact I'm at a barely whisper now, I fear it's going out completely tomorrow...

Why do I always seem to get sick when my luck starts turning around...

Watched Ted a few hours ago. Pretty funny movie! Though I didn't laugh as much as I thought, still a great movie!

As they said years ago. Happy Dominion Day! Or Happy Canada Day as it's called now a days..........

...I just hope some others see this too... :C

My Biology summer school was cancelled because not enough people are taking this course.

Here are some shocking, non-sugar-coated facts about me:
1. In most of the Pokemon forums I am in, over 90% of my posts are in General Discussion and Technology sections, not Pokemon sections.
2. When I retook my Pokemon Purity Test, my score has been halved compared to my score 4 years ago. In 2008, my score was 35%, now, my score is 17%.
3. My work habit actually declined after I entered Canadian school systems. In China, I have homework everyday.
4. My sleep schedule has been changed. In 2005, I can wake up at 6AM. Today (literally today and yesterday and last week), I entered sleep at 4AM and woke up at 12PM.

Sounds shocking? Join [insert political party name here]

I watched Ice Age 4 a while ago, mainly because I watched the other 3 movies when I was a kid and I want to see what happens next. It had its funny moments, but as expected, the plot was focused to entertain children, so at my age, we would find it predictable.

Yesterday was the finals of the Euro 2012 in football, or I guess you guys call it soccer? It was quite exciting. I cheered for Spain (cheering for it since 2008) and thankfully, it won 4-0 against Italy. I am quite pleased.

On another note, I have to start studying for my SAT...

I'm having mixed feelings bout The Amazing Spider-Man. Spider-Man is my favorite superhero, but Tobey Maguire is the only face of Spider-Man I'd like to recognize. But the gigantic fan in my heart is making it hard to resist.
But The Dark Knight Rises is a definite must see. The Joker might've been the king of the last movie, but Joker or not, it's gotta be good.

I hear we are to go camping soon. Just hope it wont be boring when we do go. On the 4th i dont know what we are doing probly go to a parade somewhere.

I still have no plans for the actual date of July 4th. I know for the weekend I'm gonna go out to a cookout, but not the actual date. Maybe I'll watch some fireworks. On TV or something.

Today, my parents didn't go to work because of Canada day, so I'm forced to interact with them and eat their horrible lunch: In food, I throw away ALL of these:
1. dried tomato (new on the list)
2. meatballs (they gross me out)
3. minced meat
4. spaghetti with that type of sauce (I told them to never make them again, and I'm ready to waste them next time they make them)
5. the fat, jelly part of meat, in Chinese it is "肥肉" (my mortal hate)
6. beef
7. pork

When I'm pouring the sauce, my mom keep worrying me pouring too much, so she always tells me to stop. I tell MYSELF to stop!

I have the concept of "static silence" and "dynamic silence", and I feel best for the silence of my parents at work and I'm at home

I finally got power after having none since friday night

All my friends got their power back...I'm prepared to be alone again...

I lost power briefly just now. This is the second time it has happened today. Both times it's happened has really frustrated me.

I've never lost my power for longer than 5 minutes. I wonder what it's like to be in the dark with no electricity...

My chess rating dropped estimated 200~400 points because I long time no playing chess.

I thought that chili sauce is a magic sauce to all foods, but it only work to rice.

I endured that type of spaghetti and I'm going to throw away a box of unopened spaghetti and Alfredo & Roasted Garlic sauce into the garbage can tomorrow.

I have tried to intercept shopping carts by removing items I don't like while they were shopping, but that did not work.

Chili is really good on rice, I can speak from experience. And if you don't want that spaghetti...I'm always available! : D

Why are you guys suffering from a power-cut? Is there a storm in your area?

I don't know about all of you but up here in New York I'm enjoying these heat waves.

It's a good thing I've never suffered from a power outage, I don't know what I'd do without electricity for 10 minutes. Go crazy, most likely.

I've once had to deal without power for two weeks when I was in elementary school. I also had to deal without power for a week in middle school which caused the school district to cancel finals.

I had a power outage at school when I was in 7th grade. Darkness hide and seek is the best game ever. We also had a bomb threat, but that's a different story.

We had a bomb threat too. Why someone would want to bomb their middle school can only mean that person is a sad and desperate individual.

Bye bye, 1kg of spaghetti. The alfredo sauce is gone, but I spared that 900g unopened pasta.
Next time when they cook spaghetti, I say can't eat them and I will save them for lunch, and I will dump them next day.

Sleep schedule: It can only be improved over courses of 3 days, not 1 night

Heeey! It was only 1 bomb threat. And it was a fake, a joke to get out of school for a day. One of the best jokes ever...

I find it weird that I can't call my parents after 4pm becaus they'll be asleep. Time zones jack up everything.

But apparently there's a haunted hotel in Barcelona according to my dad

I could always go for a thrilling chiller of a ghost story, so that interests me as well.

Holy Fish Paste! i just noticed im over 700 posts! Never!, Ever! made such this many posts on any message board i joined.

I'm only at 460. It's not much of an achievement, but it's an accomplishment for me. In 2 years I've only made about 200 posts on this forum, but in the 4 MONTHS I've been back, I've managed to score almost 300 more than that.

Speaking of ghost stories, this one is true and has happened in my village more than 50 years ago.

My village lays on the top of a high mountain. Down the slop and towards the valley is a huge boulder, which has a name in our village and is very well-known as a meeting place. At that time, people feared approaching it after sunset, claiming that devils and ghosts would appear there at night. There was a man, who was considered to be the bravest in the village. His ego made him dare everyone that he would spend the night there. He took a wooden rod to anchor it next to the boulder as a mark for his arrival. The next morning, they found him dead in shock.

2,294, Never will I ever top what I have here.

I'm a little disappointed in myself for not having 3,000 posts already. Just gotta make up for lost time.

Gee it's not like you can increase your post count by spamming this thread through a conversation you can have on the chat.

Oh wait.

Seeing as how I'm such a daring and careless guy, I'd want to see. But, I'm also pretty meek and easily scared, so I don't think I'd really be up to it.

I am complaining about my mom and food again, but my mom told me to practice English during the summer so I am doing it right now by writing this.
It is the same time again, where my mom stuffs my head with useless information and her useless ideology. I'm complaining about my mom because my mom said I should spend the summer practicing in English. I don’t know if I should do anything academic in the summer, because I only have 2 summers left, and I must seize the day, but on the contrary, university is looming.
It all began with a game of Bittermelon Chicken. Today's dinner is vegetable, beef and vegetable, which I consider them the monotonous, the disgusting and the impossible respectively. It is hopeless since we just ran out of “magic sauce”. The game began with one minute of silence, which I quickly finished up the “monotonous” vegetable and ate some rice. I have learned my lesson: Vegetable is not the worst food kids negotiated against. They are simply boring to eat. Then, the sitting turns into a stalemate. I cannot advance by eating further, and to dump food, my mom must be clear of the path from my seat to the garbage can. To use force, my dad must be clear of the kitchen. Therefore, the dinner table froze like No Man’s Land. Thousand pieces of information went through my head. I can keep waiting until they leave, or, I can go back to my room for a while. I decided the latter. After staying for about 5 minutes, my mom nagged me back to the dinner table, which put me into another frozen moment. After several minutes of indecision, I slowly rotated the dinner plate into the position, legs preparing to move, and my mind makes one last thought: The consequence is only her getting angry and losing her life expectancy. Therefore I speedwalked to the garbage can and got rid of the “disgusting” and “impossible”, then went back to my room. I have been practicing the art of dumping food since Grade 1. In Grade 1, I have never finished any lunch provided by school. The teacher’s permission is required to dispose of the food. I and my friends have attempted many tactics such as compressing the food to make it appear smaller. What is as bad as the experience of disposing food is negotiating for vegetable, where bargaining and fairness are key skills.
I dumped the garbage, swept the floor and moved back to the room. I thought everything is over, and then my mom came to my room: The lecture began. I did not remember anything about what she said, because I knew she repeated the same thing: how harsh the society is and why I am lucky, family values, one child policy, spoiling, east vs. west, scholarship, stories about immigrants, and stories about any other Chinese female high school students who did better than me. I was facing back toward my mom, only worrying about her crossing the Off Limits Line, and in my brain, there were information about tangent space and adding vectors. I did not answer any questions except “Are you still bad mouthing me on the Internet?”. I answered “No”. A person who is lying and indoctrinating does not deserve the truth. Then she left, and came back to me a moment later, and she began reciting the same stories about the hardships about herself and her friends. If I have time, I have a story for her: A Chinese student killed her mom for forcing him to study. Guess what? Screw your eastern family values. I am now going to give my mom money after I grew up and she will die alone, after their marriage collapse due to an argument over taxes.
Then she left, and I overheard her starting an argument between herself and my dad about salaries, taxes and overworking(note: I reserve the word “dad” for my mom’s current husband and “father” for my biological father. All 3 current family members in my family have different last names, and it is caused by divorce). For them, arguments about taxes and my dad working on Saturday are virtually daily routines. Arguments keep my mom in check so I can stay in my room peacefully. I wonder what kept their relationship together. I know my mom married a Canadian because she wanted a better deal on immigration.
Now the peace is restored and I am writing this post, which is around 800 words long. Checking the clock, I realized my mom robbed 2 or 3 hours of time. Now I can join my friend’s party where they spit out a large volume of profanity complaining about almost everything.

I was training my HeartGold team and out of nowhere, I find a shiny Donphan. I'm still hyper after I caught it XD

I like that feeling when that happens, u get a randon shiny out of nowhere and you get that feeling when the next one will show up next.

The shiny Pokémon I remember catching:

• Golbat in Emerald
• Starly in Platinum (It was the first wild Pokémon appearing as soon as I started the game).
• Pikachu in Platinum
• Staravia in Platinum
• Roselia in Platinum

My first shiny was a Claydol in Emerald. I also found a shiny Geodude for my friend in FireRed. I also found a shiny Whismur in Emerald but accidently made it faint. And I found another shiny Geodude for my self in Emerald and it used self-destruct. -_-

So far, the only shiny I've found in the wild was a shiny Golbat back in Diamond version. It's a shiny Crobat now and it's in my Soul Silver version. I still need to transfer it to Black.

I have yet to even see a shiny besides the red gyarados. Behold my luck.

Just watch Shade get 3 shiny Pokémon in a row.

Sorry about being inactive again, I just been so busy. I just went to Gettysburg just weekend for Boy Scouts, and it was pretty fun. There is so much history there about the battle and the war.

You all are so lucky. My first shiny was a disgusting spider that I'm afraid of, and I had to get rid of it right away. My second shiny was a shiny Shelmet with a speed boosting nature, so I guess that makes up for it.

So I have chemistry and physics study materials ready for the summer. There are chemistry summer homework. In last year's chem summer work, I didn't pay any effort into it, but this year, paying effort and actually comprehending the material means better performance at Grade 12.

The good thing about chem summer work is that I must type the answers out on Word, and everything are Internet-connected, but I don't know if buying a domain for just 3 Weebly pages is a waste of money.

For Physics, I get a preview of what is going to be taught next year, I just got hang of fluid dynamics.

I don't forget math, chem and physics during the summer, but I forgot biology, earth science and social studies, and it seems I always forget the techniques of writing essay after the summer.

For going back to China, my mom think it is possible.

Despite the heat, I decided to go out for a nice refreshing bike ride. Boy, it sure was nice. I think I'm gonna make it a regular thing to go out and ride my bike for at least an hour every Friday.

This Monday I have plans to go to The Calgary Stampede, as well as other days... I hope there will be some pokemon plushes much like previous years. I actually can't wait. Unfortunately the chuckwagon races got sold out... it was kinda like a family thing for my family getting to see it every year... But I guess there's nothing that can be done about that. Aw well, we got next year.

Oh, and through my biking expedition, I noticed that I actually live pretty close to a local Target. I think I'm gonna head there instead of the Gamestop so very far away from where I live.

as anyone heard if they found out if zekrom and reshiram can be shiny in B/W2?

I pretty have to buy every single one of my PC games digitally from now on. Convenience, and not having location constraints for the most part. Just have to remember not to blow the card thorough!

As for plushies, I seem to never be able to get any Pokemon plushies. From all the shops that I have went to...

They do have plastic figures, though.

The reason I hate walking around amusement parks is because I always have to pass those games I have no chances of winning, and having to walk past those lovely gigantic Zoruas and Buizels. Mmm, so good...

So right now, I'm replaying through Pokemon Heartgold and I'm trying to use the original team I had in Gold, but with a full team of 6. So far I have a Bayleef (Which I named Fubab ) and a Zubat (man this guy is tough to raise). I do plan to get a Lapras and a Kadabra (Possibly Alakazam if anyone wants to have a wifi trade with me). Overall I'm feeling excited to relive my childhood. ^^

After I finish everything I want to do in Black 2, Crystal, and Yellow, I think I'm going to start again on my Platinum journey. Nostalgia and Shiny Giratina in mind.

No matter the weather, my only flying type in Johto will always be Kenya. But for Crobat, they're useful against Chuck, Bruno, Bugsy, and Erika when you get to her.

It has Bite, too? Well, that's Morty out of the way, too. That's like 3 Gym leaders out of the way and 1 Elite Four member. Crobat sounds pretty useful. If Kenya didn't exist, I'd consider getting one.

Guys, please use the thread to discuss general details. Let us stop discussing Pokémon. If you want to, then create a thread in its respective board.

Even though it was about 4:30 PM, I decided to make an omelette. And boy, it was a GOOD one. I think it was the best one I've ever made. No rips, no collapses, and no major disasters happened while I was cooking it. It must've been the BW2 music I was listening to.

Went to a garage sale today and find a Snivy toy and the card within the package from mcdonalds for 25 cents. I gave my brother the card as i collect the pokemon figures.

I'm thinking about setting my music interests back a few more years in time to the age of the popular smooth jazz and blues. After listening to My Favorite Things for a while, I felt like I wanted more of that.
