About Me
hi :) i'm jannet and i am finally done with this last page of my website. this page is supposed to be about me. but i define myself with people around me that i care about. so i guess it's not all about me. i'm a freshmen at UC Berkeley!!! yeah...ssssssss Stanfurd...heheheh.
i'm originally from Taiwan. for some strange reason people think i look korean and then they guess chinese. kevin thinks it's my eyes. oh well. i lived there until i was 2 and then my family moved to massachusettes. i stayed there til i was 5. then i moved once again to new jersey. it doesn't smell there contrary to popular belief. and my final move to california....arcadia.
i didn't go to arcadia hs..also known as arcasia. i went to temple city hs. go rams!!!! and now i'm away from home for the first time in my life and it's really exciting. i haven't gone too out of control but all this freedom is wonderful. okay i'm gonna break stuff down into categories....ready????
family: well, there are my really strict and stubborn parents. they grew up in taiwan where things are completely different. my dad is a chemist and my mom is a housewife. i have 2 sisters. one is a sophomore at UC Santa Barbara and the other is a sophomore at TCHS.
friends back home:there are so many people that are a special part of me. where do i start? i guess i should begin with someone who continues to help me in so many ways.... bernie . i know what a great guy he is and that he is good inside. he is quite shy, but way funny. and i guess his craziness keeps me on my feet. thanks :)well there is helen...i remember when i first met her i was totally scared. i thought she would hurt me or something. but we got really close and had so much fun. there's cat...oh gosh..she is so the cutest. she is like me in a sense that we love romantic things. she is sooo thoughtful and cute. and we always talk about bfs and dancing. umm..erika..my dear little friend at TCHS...she seems to be the only person that truly understands me. like i would tell her something and she'd be like "yeah i know." we played basketball together and talked afterschool all the time. who could forget danna...dude we had soo many driving trips here and there. to the doctor to sav-on to develop film to the tux place....remember? all the good talks. how i miss them. jeane!!!my super crazy english smart girl..what a tennis suck up...hahaha. and of course her love for star trek...i hope she is still enjoying that cd rom. of course i cna't forget hannah . she was always there for me when i needed someone to confide in or just chat about the day. now she's a bruin...and i'm proud of her. the lil leprechaun desiree with her blonde hair and short lil self. i miss her cuteness and hard core christian life. ahhh of course mimi...the cute lil cheerleader who made me laugh and enjoy the day. she always had some crazy story to tell and never seemed to study much cause she's just too darn smart... and she's my berkeley buddy. yvonne my english buddy and dear basketball friend... remember when we played for dina...hmmm...those were the days. and all the interesting talks about daily things and having fun..and the water balloon fight at jeane's and me being in the tree at helen's house??? hahaha. my big rebel kim...who thought all men of the earth were scum..but now has a bf of her own. she was always happy to have friends over..and her dogs were soo peppy. i remember all the rides to lunch and the 2 car accidents..remember kim??? :) and there's stephanie wang...she is probably the most photogenic person i know. she always looks soo pretty no matter how she cuts her hair...short long...anything. and her best friend stephaney smith and my sd buddy. she was always the tardy and stubborn one. hahahah. she knows it. we missed her so much when she went to blair. but no matter what we still kept in touch. and of course sean out mr. pimp/james bond...oh yeah and my "bf". remember sean? that was fun... are we still together? we'll have to ask kim. he always gave me advice and was there when i need to be cheered up....alittle perverted but otherwise loveable. mike my dearest angel. he is the most delicate of all my friends with such strong emotions and bonds to friendship. thanks for visiting me. you always give me such great advice and i appreciate it. :)and there is joyce my other berkeley buddy and arcadia friend. we played basketball together for 2 years and then she went to another hs. and now we both go to berkeley. it's exciting. i remember the road trip up here. i had so much fun. remember how i felt weird taking a shower? hehehe.
this is a pic of my older sister Yung-Ting aka Tinger, my younger sister Julia and me...i think my dad told me we took this pic when we first moved to NJ. so i think i was about 6. which means my older sis was 7 and younger sis was 3. i was looking for a family pic over thanksgiving break, but for some reason i couldn't find a recent pic...this was the only one i could find that had a pic of my younger sis...it's weird that i couldn't find them. oh well.
here i am buying my first lotto ticket. me and mike were taking stephanie to the airport when i bought one a day after my 18th birthday. it was super exciting. it's a lotto ticket not cigarettes..don't worry.. i still don't smoke or drink. oh yeah, mike, i didn't win or get any of the numbers hehehe:) my birthday is september 30, which makes me a libra for all you horoscope buffs. i do like to read my horoscopes from time to time. sometimes i like following vibes that i get about things and people. i have yet to go clubbing, but i know cat wants to go with me when i go back to la. i love dancing...fast..slow. i also like rollerblading..it's a good workout. i need to workout..hehhee...all this college dining is not good at all.
i guess most people think that i am outgoing, but i'm really not. kevin took this picture of me. i'm not the photo posing type. he was trying to get me to cringe my nose for him. heheheh. i guess i just want to fit in like everyone else in the world. i like talking to people and enjoying people's company. so i guess you can't really be shy if you wanna talk to people. i tell myself to get the courage to talk. moving to the dorms was not easy. i guess the whole making new friends is difficult. but i managed to do that and now i'm cool with everyone on my floor. i will hit up the other floors eventually. i will. it was hard getting a brother in the lambda house. i tried talking to some guy at a party and it turned out that he wasn't a brother. he was a pledge. oh well. i eventually met jeff my brother and he's way cool. but i kinda started talking to him by accident. so it wasn't my outgoing-ness.
