Hi guys, my name is Eric Thai, and I go to San Gabriel High School. I was born in Vietnam, and then I moved here in 2008. I love acting, and scripting writing. I'm very creative, and speaking of creative I am making a blog series called My Lucid Dreams, where I'll share my lucid dreams with you guys, not all but some. Well back to being creative, sometimes I would get this crazy ideas of fictional characters doing something completely awesome and new, and I'd love to share with you guys. And all those ideas came from, you guess it, my dreams. At night while sleeping I'd get these 1 second scenes of things, and sometimes I'd try to interperate it into an original idea.
As a kid who only lived in America for only 5 years, my English is not that great, but I'm learning. And I believe that if I keep on writing and sharing my ideas, it would vastly improve on my English. Also feel free to leave a comment if you liked it, and it would help a lot!
Well that's all I got to say, stay tune and have a great day.

Questions, Buffet, and Conflict Part 1
So, it all started in 2nd period.
The sky was cloudy, and I opened the door. The classroom was fully decorated by my classmates' Chinese project. As I walked through the door, a cold breeze passed by me, bringing the fallen leaves from the oak tree outside with it. My eyes followed the trace of the leaves which was flying round the classroom, then they slow down near the teacher's table. First, there were a few; but then hundreds of green particles burst through the open door and form a familiar shape of a woman.
It was, Ms.Morales. Afterwards when she was formed, the left-overs made a detour around my classroom and disappeared before my eyes. By then, the teacher sat down at her table, and my classmates came inside the classroom with their conversation about a new restaurant near our school. It was a buffet, I heard it was elegant as the Queen of England's dinning room. I sat all the way at the back of the room, and I turned right as to eavesdrop Janet, she was talking to Queena, "I heard that they'll be giving out free entrance coupon to ten lucky students in school at 10:30." Then Ms.Morales slam her meter stick against the board, then with a burst of speed, I sat straight as I could. "Eric! that's an A, B conversation, have some manner!" She yelled. By then I was afraid of her strict attitude.
"Um, It was actually an A, B and C conversation, including me." Wendy said.
Oh man, Wendy would regret talking to Ms.Morales like that. So I waited for her reaction and I was disappointed. She smiled at Wendy and said, "Oh you're such a tease!" She then laugh hysterically and everyone followed, except for me... After about 5 seconds of the whole class laughing, Ms.Morales suddenly stopped and then everyone else; then she turn around and start writing on the white board, then everyone else suddenly looked down at their notebooks and start copying down what she's writing. Creepy as it is, I chose to ignored the weirdness that was going on in the classroom, and just go with it. After 5 minutes of copying characters and its' meaning, the teacher stopped writing and start asking question in english and have her students answered the question in mandarin. She was asking question from my right to left, my classmates of course took forever to get the answer correct, so I turn to my friend Austin who sat in front of me, I asked, "did you heard what they said?"
"Yeah, the free coupon thing right?" he replied.
Then a guy who sat next to me, Scott, suddenly took interest on my Itouch. "Hey Eric," He whispered "can I play with your Itouch?" So I obediently obeyed his request and took out my itouch on my right pocket. "Here, be careful and don't get caught." I whispered back. Before I handed him the Itouch, I made sure to look around and check if Ms.Morales was looking; luckily she wasn't so I give it to Scott. But as I hand him the itouch, the teacher yelled out "Eric!" I looked back at her like a frightened pig about to get slaughter. I swear, I looked back at her before I handed the Itouch, it seemed like she have a third eye. She then walked over from Queena to Eric Vong to Megan then to me."Give me that!" she said. "And what plans do you have with this?" I looked at her, and suddenly I realized something really strange that was going on, It seemed like I was in a dream, where I can't speak nor knowing what's happening. Curiosity started filled up my head, nonetheless I answered her question. "I was going to check the time..." I said quietly.
"Uhm..." She said with suspicion in her voice. "For what?"
"There will be coupons given to ten lucky students for the new restaurant at 10:30" I answered
"Well, the time is 10:25. You better wish for some luck because this thing is getting sent to the office" She said and walked away.
I was frozen for a moment, the office... the last place I wanted to go to. I got a referral sent last month from Mr.Li, now this? Life is so unfair. Then my frozen self melted down and I turned around with everyone staring at me; After about a moment, everyone turned back to their original position and Ms.Morales started asking questions to her students. Then, suddenly I was able to speak, so I asked Austin, "Why is she even in here? Where's Long Lao Shi? Isn't Ms.Morales supposed to be teaching english... not mandarin?" Then he turned around, and said that "this is a dream."
