The Programming World Greets Me

So, after years and years of my dad trying to convince me to start programming, I've finally decided to start. He's a computer programmer for a living, and sees immense benefit for me to start getting into it. mainly the positive factors being the numerous new opportunities it provides and undiscovered regions it contains.

I'm learning C# so far. The "C# Fundamentals: Development for Absolute Beginners" on Microsoft Virtual Academy is really helping me get there. haha. Easy step-by-step from the ground up videos beautifully set up for the public to watch. I love the internet! XD Hoping to later begin to learn basic application building from there.

This is something I'm really serious about doing though! Haha, unlike before when I said I'd inspiringly learn the piano or violin or something like that. I'm one hard to motivate. xD //shhh. The determination is set because I'm taking a class basically for Intel STS at my school (the class is called Physical Science Research, but we hopefully lead into Intel. lol).

I haven't been blogging much, but maybe I'll start talking about my programming travels. haha.

So far, I've started on the first two videos of the C# Fundamentals (hopefully I'll get done with more tonight though >3<...). AND IT'S SO FRUSTTRATING. LOL. The second video starts to actually begin the coding stuff of C#, by teaching to first work with the Notepad to make "Hello World" pop up. I followed everything the guy said, and it didn't work for some reason. I don't know why, and I became enraged. I'm going to try until it works! My dad tried to make me feel better by saying using Notepad is harder than using an actual program thing (don't know terms yet, so I'll be saying "thing" a lot in the beginning xD...). BUT I DONT CARE. If someone else can do it, I want to as well! lol plus, school computers have Notepad, so I want to be able to figure it out. I have access to a computer during like three periods of the day. haha. Not only am I taking a Physical Science Research course, but a computer science one as well. (and chemistry. why the fawk am I taking three sciences as a sophomore? idk. I'm crazy lol). Anyways, tonight I'm going to try again.

I tried doing it on the Visual Studio (this program thing from Microsoft) as well, but it turned out I got the web edition when I was supposed to get the desktop version. (ehehh ^^;;). so I got frustrated with that too, and didn't make much progress. LOL I thought I was just dumb, and programming didn't like me because I couldn't make it do the simplest thing of saying "Hello World". sigh.

I'm going to figure it out tonight, and post some more ;w;. because I want it to say Hello to meeeee.

Wah haha~ More Complaints and Happy Grades xD

HAHAHA I'M SO HAPPY~~ and yet not at the same time~ xDD LOLOL MOODY MUCH?

Anyways~ good and semi-bad-ish things have happened to meh~~. I have things to complain about as always (I don't think I'll ever run out of things to complain about), but I also got some happy news to share~ (happy for me at least xD). Haha as always~ I cannot decided on whether to start with happy or bad news. I think I'll start with complaining. Complaining is always fun~. Haha advantage of having a blog: you get to complain about whatever you want; whenever you want xDD.

Works been killing me~~!! TT^TT. LOL Of course it's work~~ I'ma complain about xDD. If it's not homework that's trying to stab me constantly with its murderous textbook paper cuts than it's my job torturing my ears to death with the shrieking of lil' kids.
You know, it's super hard to teach a kid how to do division~~. I try to explain it, but they don't understand. It's like...I'll give them this long ass explanation in the most simplest words I can possibly think of. I'll use so much of my brain power to talk in 3rd grader language. And after I'm done explaining everything, they look at me and say "so what's the answer?" WTFFFF???? >:O  <--is what I want to scream at their faces xD. I mean, I just spent all that time explaining it to them so they could answer it by their self. Sigh~ I swear whatever I say goes in one ear, and comes out the other. It's all pointless~~ >___<. Haha, but I still stick to my principles, and teach them how to solve it. I mean I should teach them then and there because if I don't, they'll bug me for answers every time~~. And that would just be a pain in the ass xD. But these kids seriously should try to learn! I like the younger kids. hm~ like idk the 1st~2nd graders~. They're so cute and adorable >w< ! PLUS they actually listen to me and try to learn!! Those are some damn good qualities I like in a kid. 4th~5th graders are a pain in the ass~! Since they're the oldest they think they're all that!! And they don't bother to learn. Only asking for asnwers. And they boss the little kids around. Some of them are so conceited, that they actually think they're better than me! Ha! They wish!! xD okay now I'm being conceited~ lololol.
Haha, some of the lil' kiddies get annoyed that I don't flat out say the answers, so they're like "Uhg! Fine I'll go ask Kohai." Then after the fifth kid or so~ Kohai-chan will get so pissed off and impatient that she'll just be like "Damn it! Go away! Go ask Emiko!!" Haha so the kiddies end up having to put up with my teaching in the end >:D.
Oh~ it was kinda funny. I always fall asleep at work because I have to read over the children's journals, and since they're ESL, they don't know English very well. So all their journals are all like "Today, I did my homework. My brother played the computer. I watched a movie on the computer after he finished. Then I played on my mom's iphone." I swear it can get so boring! Thus, I fall asleep xD. Today, this one kid was like "Emiko~ *poke poke*" I didn't feel a thing though. I usually don't fall into that deep of a sleep, but I was tired today D;. Haha then he was like "EMIKO!" And I was like "HUH WHAT!? I WASNT SLEEPING!" And everybody looked at me as if I was crazy, and started laughing~ xDD. Sigh~ kids can laugh so much over that~. Also! There's this one girl who's journals are pretty interesting, but her grammar sucks so badly that it kinda ruins things. Anyways, her luck must totally suck or she's lying because it seems like everyday something from her always gets stolen! One time it was that she was a pool, and some guy stole her back pack. Another time, her friend's phone was stolen. The most recent one was that her cell phone was stolen. But the thief ditched her phone, and took the battery. In her journal, she was like "I was so scared because someone can easily make a bomb out of a phone battery. I told my mom, and she made me leave the store." First of all, you can make a bomb out of a phone battery O_______O!?!? Secondly, lol xD this girl is kinda weird~.

Just a side note~. Isn't it weird when people randomly apologize to you~? LOL makes me feel like they did something wrong, and I haven't found out about it yet xD. But in a way, it makes me feel like I did something wrong too because idk~ xD people just don't say sorry to me that often (because I mostly forgive them before they do :3. *forgives a bit too easily sometimes*), so I feel as though I did something bad/mean to make them want to say sorry. Like my sister says sorry to me only because she knows I'll sometimes be angry until she does (depending on what she did). Banana-kun randomly said sorry to me yesterday. I don't know why. I hope I didn't do something wrong :T. I hope he didn't do anything too xD. lol.
Oh~! Speaking of saying sorry, in elementary school, I used to have this really cute friend who'd say sorry all the time. It was cute because when a teacher or someone told her that she had made a slight mistake, she'd say "I'm sorry." in a cute lil' half bow in an adorable voice >w<. Or if someone had made her feel bad, she'd be the one to say sorry instead of the other person. I don't know why she did that, but it was just so kawaii >w<. Gosh, I miss her :) she was such a nice person. LOL *cough* well I'm getting off topic xD

Anyways~, I'ma talk about that good news stuff I was talking about earlier now :)
I'M IMPROVING IN SCIENCE CLASS~~!!! YAY! :D :D :D
Haha instead of getting like 5 or 8 or more (ikr scary~ >___<) on my science tests/quizzes, I've only been getting like one or two wrong :D :D :D !!!! IM SO HAPPY BECAUSE OF THAT~~!! <- LOL only a nerd will be this joyous xDD. I'm glad~! I like that I'm getting smarter~!! Failing on tests like that made me so sad and glum. LOL so I'm happy again~. I'm back to my nerdy self~. Haha yupp~ I like being a nerd xDD. hm~ there was more. I can't remember xD. erm-...haha OMG I FORGOT XD. Maybe I should start with the good news from now on xD. I remember I had like 3 or so~ in my mind. Sigh~ curse my short memory xDD.

Oh~ well this is random, but I'm going ice skating on Wednesday~~ :D :D. LOL xD I can't wait. I love ice skating~~ :D. I love roller-blading a lot, but I haven't had the time go. So a school field trip to the next best thing (ice skating) is good enough to me~ :)

EDIT: (2~3 hours later)
LOL I REMEMBER WHAT ELSE I WAS HAPPY ABOUT!! XDD
My blog has gotten over 5,000 page views :D :D :D ~~!!! That's so cool!!
hahaha I've been blogging for 9 MONTHS and this is all I got so far~~?? xD
lolol but to be honest, I didn't really get too serious until like September~October, so you can only really count 3 months~ xD. lolol so I'm happy ~~~ <333
I notice the three main countries I get views from would be the United States, Taiwan, and the Philippines :)
I wonder why~ :) you people should comment why you like reading my blog~ xD. I'm curious ^ ^~
especially since I've had a odd sudden spike of Taiwanese people reading my blog :3 <-- mostly it's my dad who's curious because he's Taiwanese xD (so am I, but he grew up in Taiwan)
so give meh answers~~ xD
why do you like my blog?? :)

Atheist vs Agnostic

I wonder how many of you know either of these words... x)
I'm pretty sure most of you know what an Atheist is.
Today, I feel like distinguishing the two. I have no idea why. I guess I just feel the need to spread the knowledge(?) Haha xD yea I'm weird.


Most people(or at least some) think that they're the same, but in my opinion(well it's actually a fact xD), they're two entirely differnt things :3


!!~ Definition Time~!!


Atheist: A person who does not believe in the existence of God or gods


Agnostic: A person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God


hehehe x) so with these somewhat simple definitions, you can see the difference more clearly now? If not than >_> ....you suck. xD LOL! Jk jk. It just means I'm going talk some more xD.


Atheist is someone who denies the existence of God(s) completely. Most of them, greatly believes in scientific fact. Meanin they believe in the big bang theory, and not the "God created the Earth in 7 days" thing.
....^ ^;; was it 7 days? xD I don't know. Gomen nasi >~<. my level of intelligence on religion is so low, and yet I'm teaching you people things like this, OTL that's sad (mostly for you, who's reading it xD).


An Agnostic person is someone who doesn't say the believe in God, and yet doesn't say that they don't believe in God. Meaning they're neutral people xD (i like neutral people :3). 


Haha xD I'm agnostic. I don't believe in any type of religion, yet I don't deny that there might be some kind of "almighty" being out there (it's me xD haha jk). I mostly believe a lot scientific fact, and common sense...


I actually made up a religion of my own just for fun xD. With a lack of a better name, I called it Emikoism x3.
It's quite a detailed religion (so much so I could probably right my own "bible" xD), so I won't really get into detail about it today.
Anyways, I realized that a lot of people use the word "Atheist" wrong. For example, people who are trying to describe themselves as an agnostic person, use the word atheist instead. Even my English teacher. Over the years, I guess people just generalized it into one word ^ ^;;. I told my friends about this, and they didn't believe me Dx. They said I was making words up ...which happens sometimes xD. I'm known as a great b.s.-er xD (aka bull sh** artist). For example, my friends were wondering why in some martial stance do they point two fingers in various ways. I was making a whole bunch of b.s. saying that "They hold their fingers this way sometimes to block the person from doing this to them." xD And I made up a bunch of random stuff. I'm very convincing when I want to be x3.


Anyways, I'm getting off topic.
Today, you've learned the difference of Atheist and Agnostic. So remember this information, and use words properly! Or else you'll look like an idiot in front of smart people x).
Hehe~ you learn something new reading my blog ^_^ (not really xD LOL)


Got tons of homework (sorta?), so I'll blog again laters~ ;D




ps. *skims through a bit* xD okay, so most of this stuff may or may not be correct. This was mostly based the (very lil) research I did on the subject, and my understanding of the definitions. Plus, what my dad has told me xD. So don't go researching the topic further and then come back complaining to me how wrong I was. That'd be too depressing for me Dx. you probably don't care tho LOL xD.
