tennis, music, internet, computers, meeting new people
i enjoy community service especially through key club because where else would someone give back to the community while having fun and meeting new people at the same time? it opens so many doors for me and i don't know where i would be if it weren't for key club.
I'm a teen tobacco prevention advocate. I started at Campfire USA's Speak Out! program and from there went to CYAN (California Youth Advocacy Network) where I'm on the Youth Board of Directors, American Cancer Society (Teens Kick Ash and Junior Board of Directors, and Friday Night Live.
***No I'm not trying to rid the world of smoking and im not condemning all of you for smoking but rather joining in the effort to educate others about smoking and what the tobacco companies do. that way we could help to keep teenagers from starting.***
Martial Arts: i love martial arts, its great for fitness and its fun. done a little aikido and kung fu for starters but things always seem to get in the way so im going to start it up again in college hopefully. and no im not that good haha
what can i say, i love computers and technology there's something about all the advancement and imagining what'll come for the future that keeps my interest because it's always changing and getting better. it affects our daily lives and we take it for granted and so wat can i say? =P
friends are like my family outside of family. its great to just be with friends and talk and have fun do strange things share interests and meet new friends and it just takes the boredom out of life.
I'd like to meet:
EVERYONE AND EVERYBODY! i'm an open book so hit me up! or visit my xanga! . Oh yes and you too heh.

i love music i listen to it everyday and go into withdrawal if i dont hear/hum/play it. i love playing and performing because i've done that ever since i was in choir in elementary and now instrumental cuz i realized i can't sing after puberty hit. violin, mandolin, learning guitar and wished i played the piano because it's such a romantic instrument.

Television:
i really dont watch tv that much, i used to watch a hell of a lot of cartoons when i had cable (oh yes, toonami, adult swim, the cartoon network good stuff) well i join in with my brother sometimes on saturday mornings but not really. sometimes maybe catch jeopardy cuz that's an awesome show, who doesn't want to be incredibly smart and win thousands (or like ken jennings, milliions). i usually watch tv when other people are watching it. oh tennis is good
Books:
i read a lot, or used to now cuz school is so demanding never get a chance to just read for fun now. when i was in elementary i tore apart all the mystery series like nancy drew, encyclopedia brown, and the boxcar children. even animorphs and stuff. i guess i like reading books in a series better cuz recently ive been reading Redwall books by Brian Jacques and Tamora Pierce's Alanna series and The Circle series. I like fantasy and mysteries i guess, I read Sherlock Holmes once and it was a good. Then there's asian themed books that i like too like amy tan or those that just center around asian stuff.
Reading: NOTHING but then again those college textbooks are intimidating me..
