You know those pictures of puppies who see a ball and the caption of the picture is "BALL BALL BALL BALL BALL BALL BALL!!!" (like the one I found up there?) Well, that's me with the sun. SUN SUN SUN SUN SUN SUNNNNNN ... oh my. :) The sun is out! And according to Weather.com, it's supposed to stay out for the rest of the week. SWEEEET.
There's this bush I have to pass whenever I go in the downtown direction and come back. It's filled with BEES. Ugh. I hate insects, but especially spiders, cockroaches, and bees. Back in Taiwan it wasn't much of a problem since there are rarely any bees in Taipei (not much to pollinate I guess). Although there were way too many BIG cockroaches, ew. Guess you can't have everything. Anyway, I have a fear of being stung even though I don't think I've ever been stung before (and hopefully it stays that way), and yah, just a general fear of bees. So every time I walk by the bush all these bees fly out and start buzzing. I should really give the bush a wider berth, but sometimes I just don't pay attention where I'm walking. Sigh. So whenever that happens, I wince and pray that the bees are too busy buzzing to do any harm to me. >.<
Oh! On my way home today I saw a Himalayan cat with no collar. And it looked kinda dirty!! So either it's a runaway or it's lost or it's owner doesn't practice proper hygiene for their kitty. I wanted to take it back home with me, but my mom forbade me. Sadness. IT'S SO CUTE. AHHHHHH.

I was in Chia-Yi all last week visiting the grandfather and attempting some organizing of some of the boxes we have stored there. There was a box of goodies (as in memories from CDL and NEHS!) - found some old letters (heh ... heh ... ) and also photos. Oh, the memories. *Sigh* Didn't really get to sit there and read them, though, because my mom was in a hurry and was like, "Just throw the ones you don't want away!" Too bad. I also found my 9th grade diploma. Can't believe it still exists.
Anyway! Chia-Yi also means cats! And this time, Cookie actually made an appearance so that I was able to take some pictures of him. Normally he hides away in the attic or my cousin's room because he's a misanthrope like that. This time, though, maybe because he knew it was my last time in Chia-Yi for a while (hah, I wish), he actually came downstairs and chilled for a bit. I also re-realized why it's so damn hard to get a decent shot of him. He's just way too dark. Some of the more decent shots: 
Nike also made an appearance, but he was too busy panting (waaaay noisily, I swear, there is something wrong with his air pipes. The aunt needs to take him to the vet, soon.) to actually be a nuisance to the cats. Poor thing. It's just way too hot for him for some reason. Can't cool down unless the a/c is blasting in his face. This is what he looked like most of the time he was down there:
When we first got there, the first typhoon this season had just hit. The rain was insane. Tried capturing the falling rain: 
Nothing says family time like family group shots:
Lastly, this is my fantastic cousin asleep on the ride back to Taipei. I have no idea how sleeping with his mp3 player hooked on the hook and his earphones looking like it's choking him is even remotely comfy, but he was dead asleep, nonetheless. :P Wonder if he'll kill me if he finds out I took this pic and put it on my blog for all too see. Hah! Oh well. He doesn't have to know. ^^
