New! Guess the person game!

I wanted to try something new, so let's play a little game.


Do you know who this is? Fine, since this is the first time I'm doing this, I'll give you a hint: he's a famous youtuber. Still don't know? Fine fine, he's British. No more hints!

The first person to comment back with his name will get a "Brava!! Bravo!!" and recognition from me! Maybe later I'll start doing giveaways!

My Farm Life Adventures

Hey guys!

I know I said I'd post Friday...I'm sorry. I literally dropped dead at nine thirty, which is freaky. Studying for the bio test kept me up for half the night, so that might be why. But that's no excuse! I'll recount some highlights of my childhood on the farm, and hope you find them amusing!

Now, this was literally a farm. We had acres of land for growing vegetables, we had a cow, and a small house in a tiny neighborhood in the middle of nowhere. To get to school, I had to take a bus for nearly an hour. Anyways, we also had no plumbing, so the only two bathrooms were a metal bowl inside or a hole outside. I kinda lived like a hippie, I guess. I was an extremely picky child, and only ate ramen noodles, mushroom soup, and dumpling. I was also a very skinny, unfit child.

My grandpa was always working in the farms and my grandma often went to a "old people gathering to play games" kinda thing in the front of the town, so I often just kicked back at home and watched TV. I was an expert on Pokemon at one point. There weren't any kids in the neighborhood but three sisters, who were all older than me and played with each other. And so I lived my quiet,fulfilling life.

Now, there's this story of how my grandpa was really rich as a boy, kinda like a prince. Then came the Korean War, and all the money and the servants disappeared. He took to drinking in his poorness, and to this day he drinks and yells outside at not particularly anything. My grandma didn't like it, and neither did I. I'd stare at him as he drunkenly swore at the empty night sky at like ten in the evening. So, one day, I wrote on the wooden door, "Grandpa, if you don't stop drinking, Grandma will stop making food for you". This was in marker, so it's still on their door today. I was about five years old, so the handwriting wasn't great either.  It didn't stop his drinking, but it did make a wonderful childhood story that they tell me every chance they get.

So there you have it folks! The boring, precocious young child I was. There are so many more stories, but next week is going to be "Scrumptious School Days". See you tomorrow!

How I Was Dumped Even at Birth

Look, I said I'd post on Tuesday, and here it is! Feel lucky-I have a huggeee biology test to study for. Or maybe I'm just a procrastinator

So, let's start from my birth: actually, I don't know much about my birth. I think I was born in Seoul (the capital of South Korea, for you geographically challenged people) but I'm not actually positive. Background info: both of my parents worked in the army; my father as some kind of computer tech person and my mom as an army nurse. Later, she started a school and became headmaster after receiving a First rank star or something, which was a VERY BIG DEAL. Like, calling us every day and saying "Have you heard..?" for  a week and months after.

Anyways, they already had two daughters (my oldest sister-25, older-22) who were middle schoolers when I was born. Neither wanted to quit their job or take a break to raise me, so they carted me off to my grandparents. Therefore, I spent the wee first five years of my life in a farm. A literal farm. We had a cow and grew lettuce, cabbages, peppers, etc. And yes, we had an outdoor toilet. More about that later.

Oh yes, I lived as an only child, coddled by my grandparents. It was pretty awesome. I had quite a few adventures as a toddler, from yelling at my alcoholic grandfather to running away from home, which you will here about on...Friday (hey, remember the bio test? ALL-NIGHTER). Visit Friday for "The Adventures of Huckleberry Jean"! (Does the allusion work? Is it funny? I feel like I just seem really lame...)

Don't we all just wish we can do this instead of studying or working? Heck yeah, I need a phone like this.


*Anyways, I decided also post things happening in my life right now, to keep y'all posted on my current status. This week: my school is having a dodgeball tournament that I'm reffing. Dodgeball tournament? Yeah, I told you my school was weird. We even have cricket in place of football.

The First Post! (And the Dreaded Self-Introduction)

Welcome, to the "Secret Life of an Asian Teenager"!

Now, this is the first post, and I feel like I'm supposed to make a very dramatic intro here that will grab all of your attention

Unfortunately, I have no such "dramatic intro", but I will make a self-introduction here to interest all of you lovely people reading this.

Hello! My name is Jean (as you can probably tell by the profile), and I've pondered long and hard about what to reveal about myself

What I will tell you: my age (15, freshman in high school), my race (Korean, South of course), and my family (We will go into this in later posts)

What I will not: my last name (you may find out later anyways though), the name of my school (but I will give a LOT of descriptions about it), and real names of friends and family (protection...for them and for me, in case they find this and kill me)

This blog is basically to document my life, a psychotic whirlwind of craziness and...chaos (exaggeration much?). No, I'm going to reveal to you my life story, a story that will shock and entrance you. This ain't going to be some teenager ranting about her friends and her parents. No, this is a real story about an Asian girl with secrets, with problems that you may be able to relate to (or not, cuz mine are kinda special :P). Now, this is getting really long, so I'll end soon.

The Next Post: "How I was Dumped even at Birth", coming either Monday or Tuesday! (A high school girl has homework to do. A LOT OF HOMEWORK)
