Expected the unexpected

"Expect the unexpected." Translation: Beware of dangers.

Too bad this veteran trainer from SeaWorld didn't do so. She probably didn't expect it. I wouldn't have either. Those killer whales are usually as tamed as puppies, but as with all domestic or wild animals, you never know what to expect.

According to the Business Insider, a female trainer had just finished announcing the show when one of the killer whales SHOT out the water, grabbed her by the waist, and started shakin' her like a dog with a cat.

According to Reuters, the report says the female trainer slipped and FELL in the whale holding tank and was fatally injured by one of the whales.

And guess what happened? Well, just like in the nursery rhyme in the end: "I don't know why she swallowed a horse...She's dead, of course."

I don't know what overcame that killer whale. Actually, I do. This whale, Tillkum (Tilly), has a controversial past. I guess it's from being captured in the wild and made to a entertainment for people. He has killed, not one, but THREE people before. But as I said before, he's from the wild. All wild animals, no matter how domestic and tame they seem, never should be underestimated.

The trainer's family must feel awful. My heart goes out to them, but as everything else in this world, nothing is always as it's supposed to be...except well, classes at school. They will always be boring. ;D

I hate being sick...

Doesn't it suck? My sister's sick. Everyone at school is sick. The whole world is sick. Now I'm sick as well. I hate this.

Anyway, for the record, I have to say, I'm pretty awesome to have withstand being sick for so long. Doesn't help that I share a room with my sister who's currently blowing her nose off and I get hugs from people at school who's sneezing a tornado.

Still, I guess being sick is....sucky to put it that way. I sound like a moose. And I'm coughing like a maniac. Go figure.

However, good news: My speakers work again. Turns out I had accidentally uninstalled a SoundMax whatever. I just reinstalled it and Ta-da! my speakers work again. YES!!! ;)

Once again, it's raining. I'm hoping to get better before the weekend again because I'm going to the snow! Ye-ah! Fun. Still need to decide: Skiing or snowboarding? My last ski trip was AWESOME. Met some cute guys and all that. Ran over this snowboarder (WHO WAS GOING ACROSS WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GO DOWN). Fun fun fun. Laters when I'm feeling better.

Singing out: To Mother - G.O.D

Life is Full of Imperfect Things...just like burnt toast

Here's a lesson that will make you love everything around you. Life is full of imperfect things. Nothing is perfect. Yet that is just the way we like it. ;) Enjoy...

Burnt Toast

When I was a little boy, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then.
I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work.
On that evening, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in front of my dad.
I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed!
Yet, all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school.
I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!
I got up from the table, and I heard my mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast.
I'll never forget what he said. 'Baby, I love burned toast.'

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night, and asked if he really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, 'Little Buddy, Momma had a hard day at work today and she's real tired.
Besides, a little burnt toast never hurt anyone! Life is full of imperfect things, and imperfect people.
Personally, I'm not the best at some things either.'
I've learned over the years that learning to accept each other's faults, and choosing to celebrate each other's differences, is one of the most important steps to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.
This could be extended to any relationship because understanding is the base on which any relationship is built, be it husband-wife, parent-child, or in friendship.
Don't put the key to your happiness in anyone else's pocket but into your own. No one else can MAKE you happy; your happiness is a choice you make.
People will always forget what you do, they will forget what you say, but will never; ever forget the way you make them feel.

New Year...Let's Start Afresh

A new year, [Lunar Calendar - Chinese New Year] a time to start anew, to forgive and forget, to love not hate, and to eat lots and don't worry about weight. (That rhymed. ;D)

Which means I'll be getting a new layout. =D And a whole buncha new stuff. ;)

New Years' Resolution?

I've got plenty. Amongst the gazillion, here are some:

1) Learn a new song every month
2) Pen spinning
3) Learn how to stack cups

Stacking cups seem SO awesome. That's going to be my goal. To learn how to stack them and get faster and faster.

Oh, and here's resolution #11: Learn a new COOL hobby each month. Or...until I finish the one before. Which in this case is stack cups.

So Hobby of the Month? Stack cups. Next month? Who knows. When the time comes, it'll all be realized.

So here's my blog of the "New Year." I'll attempt to blog at least once a week...if not everyday.

But here's this. So SEE YA~~~

Singing out: Lady Gaga - Just Dance

Cold day...raining AGAIN?!

Singing - Goong OST: Perhaps Love

It's another rainy day. First time in a few days. Supposedly, it's supposed to be raining the whole week. LIES!!!

Anyway, I've finished my CAHSEE. SO HARD. Ha, not. It was easier than the CST. I'm not kidding. I could've done that in FIRST GRADE. It's a total joke, so for all you freshmeat out there waiting to graduate high school, don't sweat about this.

You can draw HAND TURKEYS on the essay part of the English-Language Arts and STILL pass. And I'm gonna get in trouble for letting you guys know all this. ;) Oh well.

Where was I? Oh yeah, school. I've got SO much hw. Math is killing me. I thought it was Chem until now. Logs are the hardest things ever. Or....rather, they're actually not that hard.

OMG. I'm being so hypocritical now. Can't help that J.D. Salinger just died and we'd just finish reading Catcher in the Rye in English. It's a great book. If you haven't read it, you should read it. Holden Caulfield's your typical teenager with lots of problems. You might find him annoying, whining about 'phonies' and everyone in this 'goddam' world hates him, but once you read on, you can really relate to the stress and pressure you get as a student.

I've really got to start hw now, so I'm signing out!

Singing out - Super Junior: Twins

OMG...state budget cuts suck...

I cannot believe it. Of all states, California's one of the ones suffering from the stinkin' budget cuts. I mean, what the-? Arrrgh...........
