My Life is Asian™

I was at a Jean Grae concert at the Brooklyn Bowl when a photographer asked if
she could take my photo for the event. I gave her permission and smiled for the
camera. After surveying the shot she replies, “Can we take it again? You
closed your eyes.” I never blinked…

Today, I got contacts for the first time (after years of wearing glasses with
the rest of my family, no less) and it took me about half an hour to put them in
because I couldn’t stretch my eyes wide enough.

Today I went to the eye doctor to get contacts, I was disappointed that my
doctor said I couldn’t wear them,because the contacts were too big to fit my
eyes. MLIAsian

[Thanks, Danny!]

I was supposed to meet at my friend’s house to go to a movie. She gave me a map
to her house. I was lost for about 2 hours. It turns out I was holding the map
incorrectly.

I keep a Pokeball in my locker. Inside that Pokeball is a tiny Totoro plushie
that vibrates when you pull it’s tail… It’s my self esteem booster.

Today I bumped into someone while walking to class. I spoke Chinese to them,
without thinking, instead of English and that person just gave me a weird look
and then walked away. MLIAsian.
