Season Finale

This is season finale's month, Prison Break, 24 Hours, OC, American Idol, House, Bones and etc. FOX spring season is end this week. Several comments:
Next year, Chinese government will not worry about terrorists, because Jack Bauer is controled by Chinese government. The big news is Chinese official language will not be Mandarin anymore, and it will change to Cantonese according to the director of 24 Hours. I strongly suggest the director of 24 Hours visit China before next season starts on January, 2007.
Which university will you want to apply for, UC Berkeley, Brown or Harvard? Why? Moreover, if you get admitted to Berkeley, will you accept this admission or just throw the admission letter into trash can? OC will tell you the answer.
Oscar+Grammy+American dream+Chinese "Super Girl"=American Idol
By the way, if you feel bored of drama, and will not want to join its next season, the best way is telling the director that you want to be killed in this season. What else? Oh, yeah, don't try to push yourself change your life style according to one of my silly friends' own experience.
One more real finale next month: World Cup, which is the real finale for soccer. Cheers! Good luck to my favorite National Team: Germany, Spain, England, Argentina, and Portugal.

Pasadena and hiking!

Last weekend was splendid for me. I went to Pasadena on Saturday afternoon. It is a small city near Los Angeles and a place with culture and history. When I walked around the city, I had a strong feeling that I was still in Portsmouth (NH). There are many different museums, good restaurants, shopping mall there. It is easy to find good Chinese food, Mexican food, Italian, and Indian food there, no junk food existed. You also can find traditional Taiwanese tea shop, serving different Taiwanese and Chinese tea. Couple of Gothic architecture in old part of Pasadena reminds people its history. Away from Holloywood's crowd and LA downtown's business, Pasadena is a good place for living.

I also went hiking with an environmental club (Sierra) in Mt. Baldy last Sunday. It is the last chance for hiking in this season before the weather gets hotter. Wild flowers, springs, animals are vivid and waiting for the coming summer. It is amazing that a lot of people go hiking with backpack during the weekend and stay in the mountain overnight, fully enjoy the nature. I thought most people would prefer staying at home and watching TV as I did before. I realize I need more exercise in future, because after only 4 miles hiking, my whole body got pains and it is still painful right now. Woo~ ~ ~
