The Woes of Today

2003-06-25T12:31:00.000-07:00

Friday nite I took a nap and told Jeff to call me when he gets back from wherever so we can go eat dinner but he called at 6:45 and I didn't want to leave my nice warm bed. So we decided not to go eat. I laid in bed for awhile and finally got out. I made a cup of noodle... greeeat. So yeah, then I played Mario Kart with Jannie and Loretta while all 3 of us ate cup of noodle. Then I left around 8 to Emerson to play pool. Bobby called me about it and I was like yah I'm gonna go to Ruth's place first. I went to Ruths place and Amanda was there with Mercy and Jackie. I finally got to see who Jackie was. They were doing some picture slide show with Ruth's Tare Panda and a hamster. It was kinda retarded, they where blowing up the panda with a wad of paper. So then I went to Jeff's place. He was playing Unreal 2, finally got him away from the comp and we went back down to Ruths. She said go on ahead to the pool table and she'll meet us there. I called Bobby and he met us downstairs. We started playing Knock out. Jeff won. Poor Bobby, all his balls got knocked out first. Ruth came down and we played me and her vs Jeff and Bobby. It was so sad, we whupped their butts soooo hard. We won and they didn't sink a single ball. I think that was the fastest game I ever had. Then we switched partners, and then we switched partners again. Then the boys wanted a rematch. I think they came close to winning both times but we still won. Bobby ordered pizza and we went to Jeff's so we could send Bobby Catch Me If You Can. We started watching that around midnite. Around 1:30 the freakin Emerson fire alarm goes off. So we had to evacuate into the coooold nite. There was some funky smell in the air. I think someone just burned something in the kitchen. The fire trucks came a long time later. Great to know if there's a fire that they'd be here in the nick of time to save all of us. We went back inside after they turned the alarms off and we began to watch again. We finished the movie around 3:30 and I was kinda outta it. I was tired but we sat round talking about random stuff. After that we went to Jeff's place so I could retrieve Amanda's beanie which I 'borrowed'. Then Ruth, Bobby and Jeff walked me back to Castilian and I went to sleep.

Saturday morning I woke up and went to breakfast. Went back and tried to read chem. Chem chem chem for most of the day. Finally at 6pm we went to eat dinner and then me, Amanda, Bobby and Jeff went to go watch Cradle to the Grave. I think that movie is pretty good. Its funnie and it has lots of action.

Okay I'm tired of writing, I'm gonnna update later.

Back. So after the movie, me and Amanda were walking and taking about it. We walked around the car garage and for some distance. Then Amanda goes.. where are we going? I was like.. uh I dunno where Are we going? I was following you! She goes, what?! I was following you! Haha we're such dorks. Jeff and Bobby are behind us shaking their heads at us haha. Me and Amanda have so much fun together. We're dorks. So we walked to Tapioca Express and I got Almond Milk Tea. Its pretty good. I think thats the first milk tea that I've liked. We chatted for awhile and then left around 10. We went back to my place. We just hung out in my room for awhile, talking. Jeff and Bobby attempted to fix my comp. They did something and now its faster! Thanks guys! Jeff played Lingo against Jess who whupped his butt pretty bad. We then played uno which got carried out into the living room with Jannie, Loretta and Clarence. Clarence came by to visit so he joined us. Uno was pretty fun. Geeeez freakin Jannie kept winning! Then we played Mario Kart, which is always fun. We played that till... 4 in the morn? Greeat haha.

Sunday I woke up, went to breakfast. Me and Amanda weren't gonna go the free ice skating thing the school had cuz we had so much work to do. I would like to have gone but oh well. Priorities. Me, Jeff and Amanda spent breakfast looking through advertisements and the newspaper. We left and Jeff went back to his place to start on his research paper. We saw Ruth and Curtis on the lawn eating chips so we sat with them for awhile and ate. Then I made Amanda get up n leave so we could do work. As we walked through the park back to Castilian, we're like hey it'd be kewl to study out here especially since its such a nice day. So we're like kool, we went to our places n got our stuff and went out to the park, laid down our towels and read. I read chem. Blah. Amanda read Beloved. We were good for awhile then we started chatting. Then one of Amanda's fren came by, Robert. We talked to him for awhile then he left and I went back to reading. Freakin Amanda said she was reading but she was trying to fall asleep on me. Shoot! I didn't let her. It started to get cold and me and her packed up. We were the only ones left in the park when we packed up! We went to my place and she finished her Japanese hw while I read more for chem. At 6:30 she left to go to Jackie's and Jan came back.

Jess and Kat came back so we ate at CDC. After dinner we went back to our respective places. At 9 I watched Alias. Amanda and Ruth came running up the stairs and missed the first couple of mins. Ruth had to leave cuz her roommate came back with her rents but left her keys in the dorm. Good Job. After Alias Jan was watching this one show and it was interesting, I got hooked into watching it. Finally 11, Amanda left and I went back to reading a bit.

Monday I went to Math, came back and did hella chem problems. Went to ASA disc, came back, chem probs, dinner, chem problems. Man I hella tried to study and stuff for chem cuz the midterm was tuesday. Ugh. I started to crash from studying chem. I finally went to sleep at 12:30.

Today, Tuesday, I woke up to the sound of my cell phone alarm. I was so tired I didn't even realize it was an alarm for awhile. I was like... what is that noise... Poor Jannie, I bet she heard it for a long time. I got up, looked at chem some more n then went to class to take the midterm. UGH is all I have to say for the midterm... It was soo bad. Dammit it was so freaking hard. I didn't know what or how to do the problems. Makes me so sad. Sigh... I hope I did okay.. but I highly doubt it. I went back to Primero Grove. Ate breakfast. Went to Asa. STUPID TONY got my in trouble. He was asking me about something regarding playing badminton vs. Stanford and I was like huh? And the teacher looked at us and said I would appreciate it if people paid attention to the speaker in the front instead of the person next to them. And he was looking at us. Stupid mofo! It wasn't my fault! So Asa was boring as usual. Except me, Tony, Lauren and her friend passed a piece of paper around and everyone adds a sentence to make a story. It was pretty strange. After Asa, went back to PG and did math hw. Ate lunch went back to my dorm.

I didn't do much after I got back. I watched my soap and Amanda came up to play with me. She fell asleep on the couch. She never ceases to amaze me with her ability to sleep anywhere. She just passes out. I went to my room after the show was over and Amanda came in and we started talking. She's like wanna play Mario Kart? I said okay so we played. It was 3:40 and I was like HOLY COW did the bus pass yet!? I changed and hurried out to the bus stop. I could hear Jannie Tina and Amanda screaming and yelling from the second floor over Mario Kart. Apparently Jannie robbed Amanda pretty bad haha.

Math disc was sooo tiring. Stupid Amanda made me sleepy already and in class I kept nodding off. I felt bad for the TA because I think he saw me keep closing my eyes.

At 5 I came back and got Kat's notes for Vi. Vi came over and she copied them. We did all this other stuff and didn't end up going to dinner till 6:30. I'm glad Vi came over. I didn't get to see her yesterday which was her Birthday! Happy Birthday again Vi!!! Hehe. I felt bad I couldn't see her yesterday cuz I had to study for chem. But seeing her today made me happy, apparently it made her happy too. She was not feelin so good and yeah I'm just glad I could perk her up a bit. Just hanging out with her makes me content. So we had dinner, came back up, I finished burning her Catch Me If You Can and then she went back to her place.

I finished math hw. Watched 24. Tonight's episode of 24 was sooooo Freaking good. It was really touching and emotional. I CANNOT believe they're making us wait for 3 weeks before another new ep comes out. Bah. Mofos! But well worth the wait.

That's all for now. I'm so tired. Sleep soon. Good nite.

Hello Hello! I must announce to all those of you who read my blog that I am now a traitor and have switched over to Xanga with the persuasion of Vi. So blame her. Anyway, so yes I will be blogging there though I will keep this page because it has the ability to link to outside pages and Xanga cannot. I will update this site periodically. So yeah. I will probably refer to this page on my Xanga when I post sites and whatever else. Here is my new blog:

My New Blog Site!!!

Enjoy!

2003-04-28T00:07:00.000-07:00

Hmm so I'm back in Davis. Joy. Like always. This weekend was fun! I went home on friday with Hanh, Dieu and Hanh's bro. We left at 1 so I went home earlier than usual. Got home and did nothing but watch tv and eat pretty much. I stupidly left the power cord for my laptop in Davis.

Next day, Saturday I had a busy day. I woke up, did three loads of laundry. I went to go pick up my new glasses, yay! I went to buy my usual Banh mi. Mmm soo good. Then I drove to Valley Fair to drop off job applications. Wow I hadn't driven on the freeway by myself since.. I stopped driving. It was kinda scary but yay I managed. So I dropped off my apps at Anchor Blue and Gap. The guy at AB looked at my app and noticed I worked at AB before so thats good. I really wanna work at the Gap. That would make me so happy. VF was really crowded for some reason but I got lucky and got a parking right away. After that I left, drove to Walgreens on White bu their stupid comp was broken so I couldn't apply. I called Hanh up to see what we were gonna do and she asked me to go to Oakridge with her and I considered it and said I'd call back. I went to Longs near EVC and applied there. I saw Priscilla! Wow I hadn't seen her in ages. I called Hanh back but she said she was eating n I'd have to wait so I said nm. I went home, worked on my lab report, then Hanh came over and we went to Sweetea to meet up with Robert and get pearl drinks. Then off we went to Mercado to watch Better Luck Tomorrow! We got there pretty early and we both got spots close to the enterance. I was amazed, I never parked that close before. We watched the movie. I thought it was interested. It wasn't like anything I've seen before so it was interesting. Afterwards we circled the parking lot a million times trying to figure out what to do next. We finally decided on eating at McCarthy Ranch. We were gonna eat at Applebees but then I saw Sushi and so we went there instead. It was pretty good and 6 pieces for $3.50 not bad at all. Then we sat in Hanh's car forever trying to figure out what next. We ended up following Robert around aimlessly. He had to go hella far just to pump gas and he left his car unattended... being the smart boy he is. Then we drove around some more and Robert took us up to this hill to look at the nice view. It was too cold though so that didn't last long. Then Hanh went home and I hung out with Robert for awhile. He showed me his house. Wow its so nice and big and has a hella nice view of the city. He said his mom was asleep but I was hella paranoid she was gonna turn on the lights and ask us what we were doing cuz we snuck into his backyard and I spent a long time looking out at the view. I love it! But I was hecka scared his mom was gonna come out. So we left and he drove up the hill some more to this other court which had a better view. Finally he drove me home n that was all.

Today I woke up at 11:30. Holy cow I dunno why I slept so late. Got up and ate, then I was putting clothes into the dryer when my dad and sis left to go shopping... When I went to the door to go back in the house I turned the knob and OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was LOCKED. HOLY SHIT. I was sooooo pissed. My dad locked the door when he left. OMGOMGOMG so yes... I was stuck in the garage. I tried to pick the lock for over half an hour and I folded my laundry and stuff.. It was so sad. Thank god it was my sister who was shopping cuz she's a quick shopper. They finally came back an hour and a half later :[ and I went back into the house. I made Banh Bao mmm yum yum and packed up. Geez in that hour and a half I could done hella things but nooooooooo. What's so ironic was that I didn't want to go shopping with them because I figured I'd be wasting about 2 hours of my time when I could be doing something else. And what do you know... I ended up wasting about two hours anyway cuz I was locked outta my own freaking house!! Yes it was sad sad sad.

Making Banh Bao for the first time was interesting. It turned out okay, not bad at all. Now I know how to make it :]! Took awhile though, then I washed the dishes n cleaned up my mess. Watched tv till I heard a honk and Vi and Oanh were outside. Left at 4:15ish. Back in Davis around 5:40ish. At dinner with Tina, Jan and Robert since everyone else apparently ate before. Came back, and Jasmine was back telling us she had just been to the rec watching the tourney. I was like OooOo I wanna go watch so I dragged Robert to go with me to watch. It was like 7:50. I saw Ellis and Mr. Mach there! I also saw this girl I knew playign doubles. Wow. I also saw John Ta. I watched Mach and Ellis play against girls. WTF.. these girls they were playing had entered mens doubles. Wow. They were pretty good but they lost to Ellis and Mach. I'd be helllllllaa laughing if they had lost to the girls. Oh man. Watching badminton makes me want to play so bad. I love to watch but playing is so much better. Its jus the feeling of being in the game and hitting the bird. Sometimes I want it so bad I can taste it. In high school I use to sleep, eat, breathe badminton but now it's worn off a lot, which makes me sad. Next week there is a tourney at Stanford but I'm not going. Anyway at 8:50 I biked like mad back to the dorms to make it in time for Alias. It was pouring outside! I could barely see where I was going cuz I was wearing glasses. I ran up the stairs and made it. 5 mins later I hear Amanda running up the stairs to join us. Heh.

Sigh, I dunno what's wrong with me. I'm really angry lately. Something's wrong. People say its the stress. I think its a part of it. But... this anger has been on going. It ain't too good either. Sometimes I don't care that I'm being bitchy to people. But I know its not good either. I'm just so irritated and I can't figure out why. Pmsing? Maybe but I don't like using that as an excuse. Stress? maybe, but that's another excuse. More valid but still... Sigh... what's wrong with me? I'm so off balance, so alone, isolated, angry, sad, stressed, confused, irritated, frustrated, impossible. Tsk tsk tsk. I thought going home would do me some good, which it did but I'm still feeling this way now. :T Can't fix me...

2003-04-24T10:47:00.000-07:00

Wow another update. In between classes again. It is now 10:31am. I'm at Primero waiting for 11 so I can go eat. I'm starving. Ran outta cereal this morning. Anyway, I went to sleep at like 1:50 last nite and woke up at 6:35. I went to my bike cuz I was gonna bike to class but it was raining and then I saw the C-line and I was like should I run to catch the bus? Yea.. So I ran to the bus n got on. I went to class and took my physics midterm at 7:30. Ehh... I didn't do one problem completely so this minus 18 pts. That was the least amount of points. I tried doing the other problems but ehh... I was stuck on number 2 for the freaking longest time and because I was stuck so long I ran outta time on the others. Problem 6 was almost exactly like the jet example in the notes but freakin a I couldn't figure the acceleration for A. Hanh said you set one =0 and I'm like hmm. Damn. But yeah I just wrote out the rest of the problem with the variables to show that I kinda know how to solve it but yeah. :P Sad sad sad. Then off to Engineering 6. A bore as usual. I had no idea what he was talkin about. He kept going on about cosines and graphs and something about e, phi, psi. No idea. He let us out about 10 mins early so that was nice. I walked to Primero and it was sprinkling kinda hard but it wasn't raining. Its nice to walk in the rain (with umbrella) and think about stuff. Yeah, I haven't been the brightest person lately. I'm really stressed out during the week. Haven't been very social. Probably been a bitch to a lot of people. Some of them brought it on themselves. But whatever. Should I apologize? Nah, unless I feel like I really was unreasonably mean to someone who didn't deserve it. Uhh... still undecided whether to stay this weekend and compete or not. But I'm leaning towards going home. I kinda wanna go pick up my new glasses, maybe go to the DMV cuz I didn't go last time. Need to go take care of some stuff. I wonder what my dad brought back from Hawaii. He went for fun. My sis said he brought back nuts and some t-shirts. Cool. I can't wait till I go to Hawaii in the summer. Mmmm nice warm sun, water, tanning, beach, air, relaxation. Mmm... so delicious. But that's still far away.

Back to the present. My week of hell is almost over. I have physics lab this afternoon. I was thinkin about goin to work out but...it's rainy outside.. maybe not. No motivation. Need motivation. Need sumone to make me go. But I like to work out alone. Geez I'm so difficult. Sometimes its fun to work out with another person but ehh. Wow I'm extreme anti social right now. Heh I can only stand a few people. Maybe going home will refresh me. Lala. Oh yes, Vi came over last nite to copy Jess's notes. It was nice seeing her again like always. I miss the days we use to hang out everyday. I talked to her for awhile, made me laugh. :] That's all.

2003-04-23T12:48:00.000-07:00

Gasp, update today days in a row. Only cuz I'm in between classes right now with nothin to do. I just finish doin gthe data tables for my pre lab. Geez, they took so freaking long to make. Sigh. I went to math and them chem today. I am really tired. Okay nm I have to go to lab now. Just feelin blah.

2003-04-22T17:31:00.000-07:00

Wow its been forever since I've updated. I've been that busy. Which sucks to say the least. Geez I've felt nothing but stress ever since this new quarter started. It made me realize how much more free time I had last quarter. My workload is insane. I go to school all day then go straight hw to do hw and all this crap. Sigh, it's really taking a toll on me. I feel more bitchy but then again I might have always been bitchy and just realized it more now. Heh. I'm more high strung. I've been trying to do a little bit of everything everyday but as time goes on, things that have priority takes a lot more of my attention and the less pressing things get set aside. Work work work. Man. Sucks. I hate the middle of my weeks. On Tuesdays I have 5 classes, not including this problem session I go to for physics so it could virtually be 6 classes. My morning starts at 7:30 am and I don't finish till 7 pm. Least to say, I'm dead tired. Wednesdays I start at 9, finish at 4. Thursdays I start at 7:30 and end at 3:30. Joy. So, pretty much the only thing going on in my life is school and school work.

This past weekend we watched Rat Race at my place on friday nite. I also joined the badminton club. Trying to look for a doubles partner so I can play in the tournament coming up but that doesn't seem like its gonna happen. I will either go home or play singles. But I hella wanna play doubles cuz I know I have a better chance of advancing in that. Mimi, Ellis and Mr. Mach are playing in the tourney. I heard the AH tourney is also this weekend. Freakin A I wanna play in this tourney. It's been awhile since I've been in one.

Hmm, two weekends ago I went home and I stupidly forgot my backpack here and I ended up not doing all the math hw I had planned to catch up on. Made me sooo mad. Good thing I had my chem book in a seperate bag. If I go home this weekend I'm gonna pick up my new glasses which I look forward to. I'll also take care of some stuff. And of course there's always good food. Banh mi! Yum. It's a tradition now, I always get one when I come home haha.

I'll try to update when I can but it'll probably be more sporadic seeing as how I barely have time. I'm cutting chem today because Hanh told me to. Haha. We went to my original math disc after the problem session and then to physics. I heard there are no calculations for the next lab so... Hopefully Kat goes and I'll get watever we did from her.

Oh yes I remember what I was going to write about. Chem midterm. Oh god. I totally fucked up on that shit. I did not know how to do the calculations.. where to begin anything! Fuck fuck fuck. That was pretty bad. That was this past monday. Pretty sad. I know I got 2 multiple choice questions right though. Heh. I also got my math midterm back, didn't do as well as I hoped but what else was I expecting.

Physics midterm this Thursday, gotta study for it. Then Math midterm again next friday, then Engineering 6 midterm, then I dunno what. Can't see that far ahead. Okay, well that's all.

P.S. I added Bobby's and Robert's blogs. Boo, they're Xanga though. It's all about BLOGGER yo.

2003-04-10T16:43:00.000-07:00

Sigh first two weeks of school have been really draining. I don't like my schedule or my classes this quarter. As of right now I'm taking 4 classes, 17 units. I'm taking Chem2a, Physics 9a, Engineering 6 and Math 21C. YUck. My schedule looks pretty ugly too. My schedules have changed since the first week durastically hehe. Mondays I have Math and Chem from 9-11. Tuesdays I have 5 classes, Physics at 730 in the morn and right after that I have Engineering 6 from 9-10:30. I changed physics classes so I'm not sure what discussion I'm getting into but hopefully it'll be the 4-5 one, after that, math discussion, then chem discussion. Wednesday I have math and chem from 9-11. Chem lab from 1-4. If the physics discussion doesn't work out I might have to take the physics disc from 4-5. Thurs I have Physics and chem from 7:30 to 10:30. Physics lab from 1-3:30. Friday is math and chem from 9-11.

I don't like my chem teacher, I usually don't know what he's talking about. Physics seems very hard and frustrating. I just changed physics classes today. My last teacher put a lot of emphasis on hw and geez it was hella hard. I spent freaking 2 hours on ONE problem. Yeah that sucked ass. But this new teacher seems to be more clear in explaining and teaching so hopefully he'll be better. He wrote the Physics 9D textbook! Geeeeez. He's not that old either, I'd say late 40s, early 50s. Math is hard. Period. We're graphing in 3-D. I'm so behind on hw. Sigh. Engineering 6 seems pretty easy so far. Its very boring in that class. I get really tired from just sitting for an hour and a half for that class. The teacher is boring, its hard to hear him sometimes even though I'm sitting third row from the front. It's just how his voice is.

Yesterday, Wednesday, I finally got the final signature for my petition to change my major and I submitted it. So I should get a notice in a week saying my major changed. I changed it from Computer Engineering to Biological Systems Engineering. Yep yep. Hmm what more is there to say. Last weekend was not that great. I wasn't too happy. Though playing tennis saturday evening was fun. Went to Old Tea House with Robert to eat dinner since the DC closed and Kat, Jeff, Bobby went there to buy dinner too. We went back to Bobby's to watch Gladiator n played a little bit of Mario Kart afterwards but I left early.

Well, that's all, I should start doing my Engineering program now. Yay tomorrow is Friday and I'm going home!

2003-04-01T17:40:00.000-08:00

This post is finally finished! Yay!

Lalala Yes finally back to update. Its been a super long while in fact its been so long that I can't really remember the things I've done since I left off. Let's see I left off on Wednesday two weeks ago. Well from what I can recollect, on Thursday I went to a math review session in Kleiber at 10:30 in the morn. Afterwards I went to Wellman and looked through a million papers to find my hws for math so I could study them for the final. I got a call from Amanda saying they were gonna eat lunch, I don't remember which DC. OH it was CDC. I went to OCDC cuz I thought that's what she said but that wasn't it. I went to Castilian n stopped by Amanda but she was being a punk n didn't open her door so I went to my place and dropped my stuff of. Went to CDC for lunch with everyone ate. I wasn't in sucha good mood so I didn't say much during lunch. We ate and I left when someone got up to leave. Back to my place, can't remember what I did for the rest of the day. I probably ended up at Amanda's sometime later on at nite.

Friday I spent the day studying math and I realized wow there was lots of stuff to be covered. Went to OCDC to eat dinner, didn't talk much then either. I met Joy, Ruth's roomate who happens to be from Independence, ew. So yeah, she was pretty nice though and after that I stole Ruth's ice cream and played keep away. Afterwards I went back to my place to study math more. It felt like a weekday and not a Friday night since both me and Jan had to study for our finals the next day.

Saturday morn I went to eat breakfast and off and packed. Went to take the math fina. OMG it was soooo god damn hard. It was not even funny. I swear I failed it. The first problem I didn't know how to do for sure so I knew that was minus 25 pts already. :[ So yeah I did the final and then I biked back to my dorm. Ruth came with her friend TJ who was driving us back around 4. I got in and then we went to pick up Mercy. We went to Blockbuster to drop off a video Mercy wanted to return. Then off we went to go back home to SJ! Yah baby! So we rushed to get back home because I was suppose to meet Amanda at my house at 5:45 and then all of us were gonna go watch FANTASTICS. On the way home we took picsi n the truck. Someone was like... what is that.. I looked up and I saw a freakin LLAMA in the back of a car. It was in the back of this car moving around. We're like HOLY COW! We took pics of it as proof! Hahah that was so funny cuz it's so random! A llama outta nowhere. So yeah TJ sped home when we were in the Fremont area he sped up and cut off this one car to squeeze through. We're all like whooaaa that was really close. He's got mad skills cuz he pulled that off in a truck! Amanda had already arrived at my house and I told her to go to sleep while she waited for us. When we got back Amanda was parked in front of my neighbor's house. We got out to scare her but she woke up. :P I dropped off my stuff in my house and we went to Ruth's house where she dropped off hers and Mercy's stuff cuz Mercy was spending the spring break week with her instead of going back to LA. Then we both went to the SJ civic center. Me Mercy and Amanda took a different route and ran into traffic. Ruth beat us there. My mom had my tixs which she wasn't suppose to do. Tsk tsk tsk. I got the tix from my mom and we went to find parking. We had to wait for Ruth cuz her and TJ went to McDs for food. I had a brain fart and didn't think we had enuff tixs so I bought another one and went inside first cuz I heard the freshmen were starting and I didn't want to miss my sis's performance. Amanda and Mercy waited outside for Ruth and them. EW I saw Jigglypuff out there. Gross. So yeah I went up but they were just starting the introductions and were having technical difficulties. Amanda and them were in so I went to find them and bumped into a lot of old friends. I found Amanda and she gave me my 10 bucks back cuz she managed to scalp the extra tix I bought.

The freshmen were pretty good for freshmen. The theme for FANTASTICS was board games and they were Candyland. I watched my sis perform and stuff. Next were the sophomore who were Jumanji. Their skit was pretty good I liked it. They had to restart their skit like twice because the cd kept skipping on them. Next were the Juniors. They were risk. I wanted the Juniors to win first over the Seniors. Juniors were Risk, I liked their skits too. There was this one scene where this girl popped outta the birthday cake for the general and then all off a sudden shot him dead. Me and Amanda were like WHOA! Hahaha very suprising. Finally, there were the seniors, whose performance was, I must admit, the best. They were Clue. I liked their skits the best. It was pretty organized, they had better lines than the other 3 classes. They had this thing in the end where the people were dancing and formed an ! exclamation mark which then turned into a question mark. I thought that was hella tight. Yep that was the best part of their skit. Their skit was fun and comprehensible. I took lots of pics with Mercy's digi cam. Afterwards I saw many many many people. Seniors, Juniors. I saw Mr. Okano who I introduced to Amanda. I saw Khannie, Ngoclan, Kim, Ky, and of course my group of friends Tina, Keith, Brian Le, Brian Hoang, Elaine, Jannie, Jen Long, Hoang, Peter many many more. Afterwards we decided to go to Ihop to eat. We went up and down 1st street trying to find it but we could not. Brian Le found it first and said it was closed so pshhhh. Instead we went to Denny's on south first street. Ate there. Mercy and Ruth didn't go with me cuz Ruth was tired and she wanted to go back. Amanda went with me cuz she was sleeping over at my place afterwards. So yeah fun stuff there. My tummy was being retarded. I hadn't eaten all day except for breakfast at 9 in the morn. I ate a few chips and stuff but yeah I was pretty hungry. I had hunger pains. When I ate my stomach still felt like it had hunger pains. I dunno what was wrong. Justin gave me Tylenol and I took one pill. Thats funnie cuz I never took drugs for any of my pains before. We took more pics. Finally we went home at 12 something.

Me and Amanda went to my place and we talked for awhile and I showed her lots of stuff. We turned off the lights around like 2 something in the morn and continued to talk forever. I got all sleepy while we were talking and after awhile I was only half listening to her. Hahaha sorry Amanda! I was just like uh huh, mmm, mmhmm. Haha then I went to sleep.

Okay I'm gonna stop there for now. Check back for more updates later. P.S. I'll post the pics when I'm done writing this whole update. Muhaha so gotta keep checkin back. :]

Back for another short update cuz I'm in between classes. Well, next morn, Sunday, I woke up at 11ish and woke Amanda up. We went downstairs and I was gonna eat cereal but my dad suggested that I take her out to eat Pho. I'm like oo good idea. So I drove her and my sis to go eat Pho at Pho Y (pronounced pho E for you non Viet ppl). Yummy in my tummy. Afterwards I took her to Sweetea to get a pearl drink. I ordered a Taro drink but dude it was super powdery :P Uncool. Then I took her to Lion Plaza to show her around. Then we went back home. We watched Ballistics: Ecks vs. Sever on my laptop n after we played DDR downstairs. Whew that was tiring hahaha. I swear it makes u sweat when you play DDR. Then we played Tekken 2. Amanda planned to go home at 5 but muhaha she ended up staying till 5:30. She said she needed gas so I gave her directions to go to the Arco on Quimby and Capitol. Little did I know it was closed for remodeling. HAHAHAHA poor thing I sent her to a closed gas station. She told me she tried goin to the Chevron after but the line was too lon so she went to the Arco on Jacklin.

Monday I spent the morning preparing, making and baking the carrot cake for my dad. It was his birthday! So yep, The whole carrot cake thing took me about 3 hours. Then I cleaned up the mess I made, took a shower, wrapped my dad's present and that was pretty much my day. Just enjoyed staying at home.

Uh oh time to go to lab, update again later.

Back. Tuesday morn Miss Aileen Tran calls me and asks me to go eat lunch with her some time this week and I said sure! Yay that made me happy that she called cuz she just wanted to spend some time together. So we agreed to meet up for lunch on thursday. I did nothing the rest of the morning and at 3 in the afternoon I drove to SC to watch the badminton game. I was a little late and they were doing introductions already darn, I didn't get to see Clare introduced :T I saw lots of ppl. I saw Chau, Jimmy, Peter, Brian Hoang and Michael! It was pretty funnie cuz all of us alumnis were sitting in a row facing the team and Mrs. Nunes was like look its the kids that came back haha. I was the only girl though. I know Mimi woulda came but she was in Florida. So the match was against Piedmont. I was wondering if those girls who called me and Clare cheaters were there but nope I heard they graduated. Psh, stupid girls, why would we have to ever cheat against them, we whupped their butts so hard, puullleeeze. I watched Clare and Ngoc played, they won of course. Yeah the match went by fast, SC swept Piedmont in a 14-1 victory I think. Then I stayed and played open gym a bit. Went home at 7 something. At 9 I watched 24, wow it was a good ep, I think the ep was when the nuclear bomb went off. Yep.

Wednesday I was suppose to go to Castro Valley with Ruth but she said no her insurance didn't come through so she couldn't go. I was like okay fine. At 7 Aileen came to pick me up and Ant came over too so we carpooled. We were on our way to bowling when Elaine called us and asked Aileen to do a favor for her. Miss Elaine had apparently locked her keys in her car and she had to go pick up her sister at SC and drive to the family dinner. Sooo we went to Elaine's, picked her and her sis up, drove to SC to pick her other sis up. We went to SC and we saw Mr. Okano and Miss Campane! I took a pic of Mr. Okano in his car and as we drove down King road, we saw Miss Campane and I took a pic of her haha. So off we went to Grand Century Plaza where Elaine's relatives were eating at the chinese restaurant Dynasty. More pics of those. I took a pic of the Leongs cuz they were sitting at the window but I dunno where that pic went. Finally off to Oakridge Lanes we went. When we came everyone was playing pool so we did that for awhile. Geez it was hella packed. We had to wait for our bowling lanes. It was good to see so many ppl! Almost everyone was there, I saw Jen Long, Kathy, Sarah, Diep, Wilfred, Larry, Thuy Le, Hoang, TC, Tina, Justin, Peter, Hieu, Neal, later Elaine came. Yep more ppl. Sorry if I didn't list everyone but I think I got almost everyone. So we broke up into two groups, the left lanes and the right lanes. I was in the right lanes and it was just me and Kathy and the rest were guys. We all decided to play for push ups. 5 push ups for every gutter ball. I started off really good. But the other lane was having problems so we had to start over. When I bowled again omg.. I got two gutter balls. BLAH! Push ups. Dude I felt so bad for Kathy. She was hella doing push ups. By the end of the night I'm sure she did about 100 or more. I ended up doing like around 50. It was really sad! She got like three 0s in the beginning but she still managed to beat me! Pathetic! I got like a 62 or something like that for the first game and I got the same score the 2nd game. Sad sad. Here are pics for it Spring Break Bowling
Not all the pics are there cuz Larry didn't send me his pics yet so I'll up date that gallery when I get the pics. When we were going home I was fighting with TC to get shot gun muhahaha guess who won. :] yes of course. I sat down first and he's like okay get out so I can get into the back. Psh think I'm dumb? When I got up I stood really close to the seat in case he tried to pull something funny which he did. I sat down really fast while he tried to get into the front seat and he ended up banging his head against the top of the car. Smart. Haha so in the end he got in the back and I got shotgun :]

Next morn I woke up, Thursday, got ready to go to lunch with Miss Aileen. She came to pick me up and we decided to go to TK Noodles. Yummy I ate this crispy noodle thing. Mmm Soooo good but so fattening. It was nice spending time with her again. We ate there and talked for awhile. Then we went across the street to Sweetea where we got drinks and Truc came up to say hi to me! I found out she goes to De Anza. I saw some SC badminton kids there and I was like hey... aren't you guys suppose to be in school. They're like its lunch! I said its a closed campus! Bad bad! Haaha. EWW I saw these Andrew Hill badminton ppl and when the SC kids left I heard one of the girls saying ew they're on the badminton team blah blah. And stuff like that. Grr stupid bitch back off. She looked familiar, I might have played her. What an arrogant bitch. I kept lookin at her n she was lookin at me too. When I left the store, I was kinda glaring at her. Anyway, so after that we went to Aileen's house and she gave me the pics from bowling. I saw her sis Ivy and her dad and her other sis Grace. Grace is so cute, she's so smart and stuff for a little girl. Then Aileen dropped me off at my house. I really wanted to go to Del Mar to watch the badminton game but no one could drive so :P Around 4 Peter calls me up and asks me if I wanna go Go Cart racing cuz Brian Le has free tixs. I'm like kool! Justin and Brian Le picked me up and we went to Peter's where we met up with Neal and Tina We also went to Brian Hoang's house to pick him up. Then we went to Hayward to pick up Kathy. Did that, dropped off her friend and went to Malibu Grand Prix but the manager there was a fuckin prick. He said we couldn't use the tixs if they were separated. They can only be used by one person. We're like WTF!? That was hella dumb. Brian Le's sis bought the tixs for him too and we're like dude there's nothing that says that on the tixs. Then he pointed to a sign on the wall. We argued back that it should be on the tix and no one told Brian's sis when she purchased them. Ugh he was being a stupid ass prick. So we decided to leave since we didn't want to spend money on that dumb place. We went to the golf place next to it but decided to go to Kathy's house which was in Hayward and we were in Redwood City. We went across the San Mateo bridge again. That bridge is soooo long. I use to be able to see it from my window when I lived in South San Francisco. We went to Kathy's house which was nice and her dad had just bought a pool table so we played pool. She has sooo many fishes in her house. And she has an EVIL fish! I don't like it. It's the fish that eats other fish. Poor small gold fishes... they're all scared and hiding in the corner from the evil fish. Grrr I hope the evil fish dies. The boys were playing I forgot the name of the game but it was on the Xbox. Its like CS. Then me Peter and Brian left while the others stayed awhile longer.

Friday I didn't do anything. Not that I can recall anyway. Though I think I did something but I'm not remembering right now. OH haha stupid me. I went to Castro Valley with Ruth and Mercy. Yeah. I was gonna go to the Montery Bay Aquarium with Aileen Wilfred and them but I didn't want to spend like 15 bucks on a tix there. So I went to CV instead to see what Amanda's place looks like since she visited me earlier in the week. We went around 11:30 or something. Got there, chilled at Amanda's for a bit. She has a nice house. Then we went around CV picking up Jeff, Jess and Sam. Yeah... CV isn't too big. We pretty much made a big circle. We went to eat at this restaurant called Cafe Palomares. It was okay, kinda expensive just for a sandwich. Ruth was being too loud in the restaurant. Took pics there. I took a pic of a construction worker as we passed by this construction area. We went to their high school which wasn't so great heh. Stayed there for a looong while and finally we head back to SJ at 4 ish. Pics for that are here: Castro Valley Pics

Saturday I went with my dad and sis to Valley Fair for some shopping at Express. I also went to Peter's house cuz I left my sunglasses in his car when we went to Hayward. That was pretty much it. I started packing to go back to Davis..Ugh.

Sunday I just la dee da-ed for all day. I drove to Huong Lan to buy Vietnamese sandwiches mmmm SOOO YUMMY. I love them. Yeah then Vi came at 5 to pick me up and back we went to Davis. Boo. I get depressed when I come back to Davis. Yuck. YAY I finally finished my update! Enjoy. I'll be back some time later to write about my first week of the last quarter. UGH, it ain't pretty yo.

2003-03-17T18:40:00.000-08:00

Check out pics for it!

Friday was CRAAAZY hehehe. Well, it started when we went to dinner and Amanda decided to drive us over to OCDC instead of walking. So we got there and we all ate. Dinner wasn't so good. We went up to Emerson but instead of going to Jeff's me and Amanda went to Ruth's and Jess, Jeff, Jan and Kat went to Jeff's. We weren't doing much at Ruth's until I wanted to eat one of Ruth's strawberry Mentos. Somehow it turned into me keeping the Mentos away from Amanda and Mercy and they were both wrestling me for it. Ruth had to jump in to try to get it away from me. I manged to fight them off for a looong while. Hahaha its funny! While we were all wrestling Curtis just upped and left. We found that strange since guys usually wanna see girls wrestle. So yeah finally it took all 3 of them to pry the stick of Mentos away from my right hand. Dang I was gripping that thing hella hard and afterwards my hand still wanted to curl up. It was hella red from them pulling on my arms, biting, etc.

After that me and Ruth went to Jeff's while Amanda and Mercy went to Curtis's to watch Naruto. Jeff's place was boring so we went to visit Bobby! We were chillin at his place for awhile and we played Mario Kart. We went back to Curtis's, Ruth locked us out of her suite. Me mercy and Amanda were banging on her doors and windows. Haha we made so much noie her suitemate came and opened the door for us. Ruth then locked us out of her room, someone went to get a paperclip and we all tried picking her lock. That was futile so we left and I gave Amanda a piggyback ride to Bobby's where I slammed my arm into his door knob, ouch. That left a bruise. EWWW this girl I am not too fond of, Caroline, was at Bobby's. I was like WTF is she doin here... So me Mercy Amanda and his suitemate Brett played Mario Kart. I completely ignored Caroline. I thought she was hella dumb cuz she was saying how beer was nasty or whatever and then she reaches out for one of Bobby's suitemate's beer, took a drink and proceeded to say "EWWw that's so nasty, I don't know why you guys drink that." I totally rolled my eyes because she's soo stupid and fake. She just wants attention, especially my attention to the fact that she's drinking. She got it, and its laced with total contempt. She's freaking stupid. Which reminds me, she's a liar too. My friend the other day was taking to her and asked how she did on this one midterm. She said "oh not as well as I had hoped, 92/100. My fren was like LIAR I saw her paper and it said 42. I was like oooohhh see trying to make herself look all smart n shit. PULEEZE. So yea, anyway

I also met this guy named John, who lives next door to Bobby. He's good looking in my opinion. I saw him at the rec hall when I was working out earlier in the day and what a koinkidink that I met him at Bobby's hehe. So While we were playing Mario Kart for a the longest time stupid MERCY kept messing up my hair and impeding my ability to play, I finally stopped and wrestled her to try to mess up her hair. She ran screaming into Bobby's room and I chased after her. Kat, Jeff, Jannie and Jess were already in Bobby's room talking to him and Yong. We got into this big ol wrestling match. Amanda jumped in and so did Ruth. We all ended up on Bobby's bed and we were all wrestling, I find it suprising none of us fell off. It was pretty fun! Haha, I totally dominated all 3 of them. Bobby and the rest of them were just watching us. Yep yep. That wrestling went on for a super long time. Ruth wanted a time out so she could rest. The ended up all piling on top of me. Eww it was so freaking hot. I managed to get out and the wrestling continued hehe. Eventually we slowed down. Yah too much to write about. Later on one of Bobby's other suitemate John? came and was like aww why didn't you take and pictures!? Hehe.

Ahh must eat now. Update the rest later!

Back! Well, let's see. Yes, it was about midnight and us girls were tired from our vigorous activities haha. Bobby and Jeff wanted to go to the Old Tea House for midnight snack. I didn't want to walk outside in the wind and rain. Amanda had to go back because she had to wake up early and judge a karate tournament the next day. Me and Jannie decided to go back with her since she had a car. When I opened Bobby's front door, holy cow sooo much wind. We went to Ruth's place cuz Amanda needed her shoes. Yes she had gone barefoot this whole time. I got my id card back cuz Mercy stole it and then hid it. Then back to Castilian we went. Geez louise it was pouring like a mofo, I'm glad Amanda drove or else we'd be pretty soaked if we had to walk back. I went to sleep at 2. I was suprised because that's really early for a weekend.

Next morn I woke up, woke up everyone else and we went to breakfast at 12:30. At breakfast, I was reading the newspaper as usual and somehow the topic of war came up. I told Jeff that I don't mind if the war happens. He's like really, you're the first war supporter that I've met. I didn't say anything after that but he kept going on and on about how he's against the war and it was like he was lecturing me. That started to piss me off. Dude, I kept telling him to drop it but he wouldn't. He was trying to tell me how the war isn't all about Iraq. Duh, you think I don't know? He thinks I'm ignorant or something. I took humanities last quarter and my professor was really good, he pointed out many things and so I know the other circumstances surrounding this pending war. But the thing that made me really mad was the fact that he kept going on when I told him to drop it. He has to realize that my opinion is mine and his is his and he has to respect that. He should respect other people's opinion and not try to prove that his way is better cuz it doesn't work that way. I told him there are 3 things that you don't talk about with people, politics, religion and I forgot the 3rd one haha but yeah. He's like "I will talk about it if I damn want to." Now that was the last straw. I got up n left the table to get some applesauce. When I came back I didn't say anything else to him. I didn't talk to him for the rest of the weekend and he finally said something to me on Monday. Psh. But yeah, I'm over it now.

Saturday I didn't do much. Studied for chem since my final was on monday. Didn't do anything at night. I was trying to study. Amanda came over but she was really tired and passed out on my bed. Mercy and Curtis came over to visit and they poked Amanda awake. Poor thing, they wouldn't let her sleep in peace hehe. Then they dragged Amanda outta my bed and sent her home and then Mercy and Curtis went back to his place to watch a movie. I went to bed at midnight because my eye was jerking and it was pissing me off. Sigh, must be the stress. So I went to sleep early again.

Sunday I went to breakfast with Mercy, Ruth, Amanda, Jan, Kat, Jess and Jeff. I mainly talked to Ruth, Mercy and Amanda. Oh man, it was sucha koinkidink. Amanda and I were both wearing black windbreakers with stripes down the sides and the gray UCD shirt. HAHAHA didn't even realize it till Jannie pointed it out. Then when Ruth and Mercy came down it was almost the same thing so it was like we were all wearing the same thing. Mercy had black windbreakers on with a gray UCD sweatshirt but different logo. Ruth was wearing the same pants but a gray t-shirt. Breakfast was pretty funny, I had taught Amanda and Mercy how to say Yo Momma and Die in Vietnamese and they kept repeating it to each other and me and Ruth. It was hilarious. Oh man. So me and Ruth were talking about SJ and all that good stuff. The Sherman's Lagoon comic strip that day was hella funnie. I went back after breakfast and studied more chem. Man I was so stressed about chem. I finished studying my 2nd midterm at 5:15 ish and decided to take a break and watched the end of Bring it On that was showing on tv. Then I went to dinner. I was like near hysteria from the stress. I felt like crying several times and I laughed sooo hard at dinner. There was that whole insulting in Vietnamese going on again with Amanda hehehe she cracks me up. I was getting bread and she slides her tray up to me outta no where, leans towards me like she's gonna tell me a secret and goes "MAY CHET!" Hahaha oh man, that made me laugh. What a dork.

Then we sat down, two different round tables. I chose not to sit with Jeff, Jess and Kat and I sat with Ruth Jan and Amanda. Man we were hella laughing. Then Amanda got up to get something and she had a piece of chocolate cake so I sprinkled pepper on to it. She sat down again and started eating it. I was laughing like crazy omg, I had tears in my eyes but Amanda kept eating. Finally Jannie told her I put pepper on her cake. She's like really? Hmm I don't taste it and ate the whole thing. Hahah damn! She got up and left again and I sprinkled Salt in her mug. We got up to leave but stupid Jess told her I put salt in there and she tried throwing it at me but missed. Bah.. Jess is sucha traitor! Ruins my fun. It woulda been funny because I think Amanda put water in her mug. If the salt had been in there, it woulda been salty water :]

I went back and studied more. Amanda came over and I ended up talking to her till 2 in the morn. Then I had to give her the boot so I could go to sleep and rest for tomorrow's final. I woke up Monday morn and went to breakfast with Tina and Jasmine. I saw Robert and invited him to eat with me. He's going to go with his dad watch Yao Ming over spring break. That's pretty kewl. Went back, studied. Took the bus to my final at 4. I came in kinda late. The bus needs to pick us up earlier! I walked in and the professor is already talking and I had to squeeze in between two guys. Took the final and when I finished I wanted to say "MUHAHA" out loud but I didn't hehe. The final wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. But I know I didn't do that well or that bad so.. :T I hope I did okay though. Three of the questions were straight off the first midterm. I was like hell yah! Hehe I left and as I got out the D line came so I hopped on and walked from Thoreau to my place. I was hella happy my chem was over! Yay! I was pretty much unproductive for the rest of the day because I felt like celebrating or playing because I felt like a weight had been lifted.

I went to play at Amanda's for awhile then went to dinner. I came back and watched the Mask of Zorro. I liked the movie. Then I'm not sure what else I did. I went to Amanda's again and brought my ASA notes to 'study' over there. But hah of course I did not. We played and Kat came over to join us. She was sleeping over at Amanda's. Fun! So we were up talking till 2. I got really tired and figured I should get back so I can sleep cuz I had my ASA final the next day too.

Tuesday morn I woke up and woke up Amanda. But she was already awake and said she had to move her car. When I first called Jan and Loretta came back from their Psych final. Jannie was like do you have a sharpy? I was like yeah... its in my pen holder. She's like keep Amanda on the phone! I was like k so I kept talking to Amanda. I finally hung up and Jan and Loretta were back. I was like.. what did you guys do? She's like we put post its all over Amanda's car. I thought they made it look like she had a ticket. They're like she really DID get a ticket. I was like AWWW!! So sad! I went out on the balcony and we saw her go to her car and take all the post its off haha. She's like you LOOOOSERS! Hehe. Poor thing, got a ticket.

So I went to Amanda's after I brushed my teeth and stuff, then me her and Kat went to eat breakfast then Kat went back to her place. I went back and studed for ASA like crazy! OMG, I never studied for a final on the same day I was gonna take it before. I was like shit! I shoulda studied last night! So yeah studied studied. Took a few breaks and played Mario Kart too haha since my suite was playing it all morning. Geez. Then met up with Amanda at 12:30ish and we went to Jeff's to get a Blue book from him. We stopped by curtis's to say hi to them and Mercy. Ruth wasn't there so we didn't get to see her. We were knocking but no one answered then we were half way up the stairs and the door opened. We paused and looked but one of her suitemates came out. We were all laughing cuz we were just staring to see who it was but it wasn't Ruth. Then finally to Jeff's. Got our blue books, he asked me if I wanted to eat lunch but I was like ehh... I was probably gonna go back to my place and eat sometime after that. He's like okay so me and Amanda left.

I went back, dropped off the blue book. I was suprised the tv was off. Then I realized no one was home so I figured they went to eat. I went to the dc too and saw them there. Ate. Came back, studied. Biked to ASA. Took the final. It was pretty easy, some I wasn't too sure on but it's okay. I finished in an hour. Came back. Loretta was disappointed she didn't see me because she wanted to throw M&Ms on me. Too bad. Will was at our place helping Loretta with math. I went to Amanda's and we walked to OCDC for dinner. On the way me and her were arguing about whether or not the parking lot across the street was public parking or not. Haha we're silly together. We ate dinner. Jeff left early to go to a review session. Jess went up to his place to get her stuff she she left over there again. We walked back. Amanda and I kept pushing, shoving, hitting each other. Then we kept arguing about the parking lot and she showed me the sign. Psh! THey changed the sign apparently because it said it required a K permit last time I saw it. So she was right I was wrong, I admit it. But! It wasn't public parking at the beginning of the year! SO PSH!! We went back but the swipe thing had been ripped out by someone. Me and Amanda went to go report it and Jess went back. We told them about it and I filled a work order for the light in my room. We were gonna play pool but I realized JAG was about to be on we didn't.

Me and Amanda were watching it, this episode was particular interesting to me cuz it involved Vietnamese people in it. And they were real Vietnamese actors and actresses hehe. Jan, Tina, Jasmine, Will and Loretta went to eat dinner at this time and me and Amanda looked at each other and were thinking the same thing. THROW M&Ms AT THEM! Muhaha so we waited till they were at the gate and threw M&Ms at them. Hahaha we got them good. They went running and screaming away. We continued to watch and left the slide door open so we could hear them when we come back. I heard them come back and me and Amanda threw more M&Ms at them hahaha So fun! We decided to lock em out. So we put the couch in front of the door and sat on it. When Jan unlocked the door we'd lock it right back. Finally they all shoved against the door and moved it back enough to squeeze through hahahaha. Good stuff.

We ended up in my room for awhile then we went out to watch Smallville. I watched it a little, normally they wouldn't be able to watch smallville at my place cuz I watch 24 but its not gonna be back on till like next week or something :[. Then we watched Charmed and then played Mario Kart. By then everyone was pooped out. Amanda left, I got ready for bed. I went to sleep at 1. The rest stayed outside talking for awhile.

This morning, I woke up, its Wednesday. Yay I have no final until Saturday. Saturday is my math fina then I gotta rush home to go watch Fantastics. Yay Amanda's coming to watch with me. :] ! Hopefully Ruth and Mercy will too. I ate breakfast with Tina and here I am. I was gonna go work out but I ended up spending an hour updating this. Blah! Its 11:31 now. I don't know whether I should go to the rec to work out or just go tomorrow.... Hm. Or later today. Hm. HMMMMM. SOOOO LAZY. Blah. I'm suppose to go eat at the Old Tea House with Tony later for lunch. We'll see about that.

BTW pics of Friday night, the 'crazy' night is up. No pics of us wrestling on Bobby's bed though, Mercy left her camera at Ruth's. The link to the pics should say "A night at Emerson" I'm having trouble posting the link for some reason. If it doesn't work im me and hopefully I'll get it to work.

2003-03-13T20:16:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, Wednesday, I walked outta my dorm to go to class and I stupidly realized hello... I didn't even bring my keys or id card with me so I couldn't lock the door. Good thing I didn't close my room door or I'd have to wake Jan up. So I got my keys and then I searched for my id card. I was like wth.. where is it!? I checked the clothes I wore the past two days and my desk, drawers, etc but I couldn't find it! OMG! I was late so I left without finding it and biked to class. I wore shorts for the first time in sucha a long time to class. It felt so breezy haha. I was planning to work out afterwards but Hanh wouldn't let me borrow her id card so I couldn't get into the rec. >:[ After math class I went to Mr. Gravner's office to check up on my hw status. Afterwards I biked home. Can't remember what I did.

I read chem for some time and then I got tired of reading it. Loretta dragged Jannie out onto the balcony where they moved the couch out to. I joined them out there and I people watched. We're like oh oh let's throw stuff at people! Jannie was like OH I have marshmellow cereal... kinda like Lucky Charms but an imitation. We're liek kewl! So I was just chucking marshmellows to see how far they'd fly. The majority of them landed on this black car below us and you could hella see it on the car hahaha. Then I was like OH! Amanda's biking to class! So we waited for her. When she came by, she's like hey guys! We're like hey come here! She came a little close and all 3 of us threw hella cereal at her and she hella swerved to get away hahaha fun stuff. Then Tina came back and she passed below us and we threw cereal at her too. She was like ahhhh and she stopped right in the middle hahaha. She's so funny, instead of running away she just stopped to get hit. There was soem guy behind her who was trying not to get hit. Then Jess came back from the bus! She was walkin and we tried to convince her to 'come up' to our place. Finally she agreed and as she swiped her card to get in I threw cereal at her and then Jan did. Muhahah! We hecka got her. So the floor downstairs is completely littered with all this cereal. Everytime we're out on the balcony, its messy down there haha.

So after awhile I got bored and I started playing Mario Kart by myself. Then this guy from downstairs poked his head up outside our balcony. I'm like hey come in and play MK with me! So he climbed up the side of our balcony and came in. We introduced ourselves, his name is David. So we played. He said he wasn't very good. LIES. He beat me all 3 times we played just me and him. Dammit, I was always a hair behind him. Sucks. Oh well. Then Amanda came up and she couldn't get in cuz we always lock our door and Loretta and Jannie threw cereal at her. Amanda played against me and David. Then we played Golden Eye. Geez he's freaking good at that too. He hella killed us all fast. Geeeeez louise. So sad. THen we had to go to dinner at 6:30 so he left. Stupid Jannie crumbled cereal and threw it at us while we were walking out of the DC except I didn't know she threw some on me and while I was reading chem later on this chunk fell onto the book. I was like WTH!? She's gonna get it.

Today, YAY! I went to my last 7:30 am chem lecture. Ate Breakfast, went to my last ASA1 lecture. Went to work out afterwards. I saw David at the rec. Then I waited forever for the bus to come. I came back, ate the bagel I stole from the morning, watched my soap, took a shower. Vi called and wanted to see if I wanted to go shopping at Arden Fair with her but I said nah cuz I needed to read chem :T Not that I ended up reading a lot of it. At 5:15 I went to sleep. 6:30 Jess called my cell and said they're going to dinner. I got up and was hella disoriented. Tired. Dizzy. Ate dinner, nothing good, hella fattening. Ugh. Came back, and here I am. Okay that's all byebye. I'm trying to convince Kat, Jeff, Jess and Amanda to go watch FANTASTICS with me. Go!

Update! While me Jan and Loretta were watching CSI we heard a knock on our door and it was David from downstairs. The dude who climbed our balcony yesterday. He's like hey we're having a party so come on over! I was like ehhh I'm lazy. And of course Jan and Loretta aren't the party type. My light bulb had burned out cuz of my stupid lamp and it was bugging me that it was so dark so I went to the service desk area to get a new bulb and fill out a work order about our clogged sink. I ask I was going up I decided to drop by David's place just to say hi and introduce myself. They're pretty nice, got the sound system goin and everything. Hehe David made me a drink and I drank half of it. I talked to his roommate, I couldn't hear his name when he said it. I'll ask David when I see him. And yeah. That's all. I stayed for like 15 mins n went back up. That's kool, meetin more ppl and expanding my horizons :]

Geeez Louise many things have gone down since I updated yesterday. When I was biking to my ASA discussion, there was an accident on the corner of Russel and Sycamore. This red eclipse totally rear-ended this silver Mustang. Dang it was hecka sad. The hood of the Eclipse was all bent up and digging into the Mustang. So I biked to ASA disc for the first time and that's what I see. I actually wore flip flops to class too! Wow it's really becoming nice now. So in class, the TA gave us back our papers. Yay I got a 40/40, I'm sure he graded really easy and he said the teacher was gonna add 2 pts to everyone's paper grade except those who have perfect scores. I was like darn! Wow I haven't seen a perfect score on my papers in a long time. Its my first here at Davis heh. So sad. Anyway, then Mike went over the final questions. He was reading off the actual final that the teacher made but he said its probably gonna change since the teacher changes his mind a lot. My TA is super kewl, he then hinted to us that the lecture the next day was "special" and not to miss it. Haha so its like PoP Quiz hint hint! He's kewl cuz last time he got in trouble for telling us there was a pop quiz and yet he still tells us. He's so cool. So then I biked home and when I passed by the corner, they were still towing away the cars from the accident. Oh yeah like when I was biking and reached the MU the fire trucks finally came past me to go to the accident. Geez nice to konw if you were in an accident and needed saving the fire dept would be there SOOOO fast.

As I was walking up to my room I was thinking to myself that it was sucha beautiful day and I loved it! Nothing was going wrong. I was like hmm, something always goes wrong. I was like.. I coulda gotten my midterm back... Oh wait a min I did! Hah it's still a good day! Then I though hmmm... maybe I lost something.. keys? nope. Id? nope. I was like kool! Everything is all good. I go up to my room and go online and Vi ims me and goes I tried calling you! Something happened. I was like uh oh. SO I called her and founds out what's up. UGH her stupid ass housemates.

ACK gotta go eat. Update later.

Okay back. Geez her housemates are like the housemates from fuckin hell or something. Just hearing about the stuff they've done in the past two days hella piss me off. Today, Tuesday, things got even worse and Vi and Oanh came over for some refuge. Man I feel so horribly bad for them. I can't even imagine what they're going through. Its just those things you hear about in the movies or on tv and never think will happen to you.l Well... its happening to them. Man.. its so horrible. I hope things will get a helluv a lot better for them. They're welcome at my place anytime.

Sigh, on a lighter note, today, Tuesday, has been another beautiful day. I hope Davis days continue to be more warm and even more beautiful. It's great right now. I love the sun shining on me and being able to not wear big ol sweaters n scarfs. I wanna frolick in the sun haha but finals are coming so that just slams me down hehe. I really gotta study. Chem and Math worries me the most. But chem is worrying me the most right now. Aiyah. Sigh, I better go study now. Peace! Seriously.

2003-03-10T13:54:00.000-08:00

Wow I haven't updated since Tuesday. I'm so freakin Lazy. Sad sad sad. Hmm, let's see if I can remember what I did. Wed I went to math, then to work out, then I went home talked with my mom. She was telling me to study everyday cuz it'll help in the long run and I won't have to cram. I was like yah okay I'll start doing that. And I had every intention of doing it! After I called her I called Toshiba cuz my stupid laptop keeps freezing! I don't know what the F*** is wrong with it. My suitemate Tina has a Toshiba and she doesn't have problems with hers... And so I talked with the guy and he told me to dl this thing off their site and restart my computer with it. It seemed to work but then my comp froze a few days later. Freakin A. I don't know why the hell it keeps doing that. Pisses the hell outta me. So I went to eat lunch around 12:30, came back at 1. Took a shower, watched my soap. Then I went to sleep. OMG Sleeping took up so much time. I was gonna use that time to study like my mom said but uh yeah.. I slept. I woke up and it was late so I ate dinner, then I did my lab report.. then I went to Amanda's place at like 11. I didn't come back till 1 something. Bad bad since I had a 7:30 am class the next morn. Bad Amanda, always makes me do things I'm not suppose to.

Thursday, I went to Chem lec, then to ASA. In ASA we watched this film on Who Killed Vincent Chin, OMG that documentary made me soooo freaking mad. I cannot believe they let his killers get away! Fucking asswipes I swear. They know who killed Vincent Chin and they even admitted it but they did NO jail time for their racially motivated murder. Fuckers I swear. I felt soooo bad for his mom. She's been going through hell trying to put those two killers behind bars to get justice for her son but she never got it. Poor woman. I can't begin to imagine how she feels. Those bastards should rot in hell and be miserable for the rest of their fuckin lives. So yeah.. ugh, stupid. Then I went to chem lab where I got my Chem midterm back. UGh I did bad on that too. :[ Lab wasn't too bad. Everyone messed up so we just copied down the info from this one group and the lab was pretty short. I went to Kat's place afterwards. Then Jeff went with us to my place cuz Kat wanted to play Mario Kart and Jeff was gonna use my laptop for his ASA presentation. Turns out his slideshow doesn't work so he was just gonna wing it. Kat me and Jan played Mario Kart for while. Amanda and Jess came up. I got a pecan bar with Jess. We saw Jeff on the way up. I gave him the keys to my place so he could get in. He tried scaring Kat from her nap. Then we were in my room and we all played around for awhile. Stupid Amanda picking on me again. I believe we got into a wrestling match or something. People got bitten. Oh yes I remember, Amanda bit me and it left a ring of teeth marks on my right arm. Then we went to dinner at 7. After dinner we came back to my place but then I went to Emerson to Jeff's place to hang out and make jello thingies. I drank a cup of the stuff that we put in there. Which reminds me I want to eat one. I took over his comp for awhile but then he wanted to play unreal 2 so I continued to chat on his PDA. I got tired and climbed on to his bed where Jess was reading her Econ. I somehow passed out. I just went to sleep. I musta been really tired. I didn't mean to sleep. I woke up an hour later I think. Amanda and Ruth hadn't come back yet and I was tired of waiting for them so I was just gonna go back to my place. Jess went back with me.

Friday I went to math n then worked out afterwards. Came back to my dorm, took a shower, and biked to chem disc. I discovered two mistakes made on my midterm. Hopefully I'll get the points back. Then I went home, rushed to eat lunch and Vi came to pick me up. Yay I was going back to SJ! Happy happy. As we were turning the corner on Russel, I saw Amanda and I was like Hey Amanda! She looked and kept looking back then all of a sudden she busted a U turn n came up to the car haha. I thought that was funnie cuz it was so random that she busted a U just to come back. She's like where you going? I was like home. She was like what?! This early? I told her it was already 2. Hehe On the way back I fell asleep as usual. Arrived home at 10 till 4. Ate an asian pair and read the newspaper. My dad went somewhere and my sis was at badminton practice and my mommy was at work :[ At 5 I went to pick up my sis from practice. Later on I ordered com tam from Dat Thanh... I think that's how you spell it. But they messed up my order! Boo I didn't know till I got home and opened it cuz yeah. Blah. But it was still good. :]

Saturday I did nothing. I woke up, dropped my sis off at practice and went home. Did laundry. Didn't do much else. I went to Valley Fair for some shopping! Yay. I felt bad for my dad and my sis. I spent a super long time at Express... like 40 mins or something haha. So yeah I bought stuff from there and Macys. We walked around the mall then we went to Asbys to buy my sis badminton court shoes. Man! I shoulda got badminton shoes last year. I want some now! Haha So she got these Yonex ones. Pretty nice. They were like 60 bucks. Cheaper than the other ones she wanted. The other ones were like 90 bucks. Then home we went. I started making egg rolls and we ate when my mom came back from work. Then After dinner I made mint cookies! Yum yum! Brought them back for my ppls in Davis! Haha Fatten them up. They're like 90 calories per cookie hahahaha soooo Bad.

Sunday I cannot believe I slept for 12 hours. I went to sleep on Saturday nite at 11pm. My dad woke me up on Sunday morn and he's like its almost Noon. I was like wat the heck!? I thought he was kidding around but he wasn't! Man. I was gonna study and do all this stuff before coming back but waking up at almost noon put me behind schedule. I ate, took a shower, other things yah. I didn't get to do much. At 4:30 Oanh came and picked me up. Vi was taking her own car up later on at nite. Me and Oanh had interesting conversations on our way back to Davis. She's so funnie. She also drives horribly haha. She was going 55mph at one point on the freeway, I was like speed up Oanh! Everyone's passing you by!! Haha So sad. I came back around 6:30 unpacked, went to dinner. Kat, Jess and Amanda came back to my place but Kat and Jess left to go do hw at Kat's place. Me and Amanda.. oh gosh... we're full of trouble when we're together. I don't remember how it started. Stupid mofo locked me outta my own damn room. That bastard! She locked me out for like 5 mins and made me say the "magic words" After she let me in I charged at her haha and we ended up wrestling all over the suite and left my room in shambles! Things kept getting knocked over and stuff. Finally she left at 9 and I did my lab report which I didn't finish till 11. She was suppose to do her hw but yeah right. Let's not kid ourselves. I went over to her place at 11:30 and hung out till 1. Bad bad.

Today is such a beautiful day. If only it were warmer then it'd be perfect. I biked to math. Wow I hadn't biked to class on a Monday in sucha long time. So yeah math then went to the chem building to drop off my lab report. Then to Primero to do my math hw. Came back, went to Amanda's for a bit and then here I am! Wasting time. I will study today! DAMMIT I WILL! Okay it's time for my soap. Toodles!

2003-02-28T16:49:00.000-08:00

Monday I was editing my ASA essay. At nite I went to Amanda's to have her correct and look over my essay. I ended up staying there till 12 again. Mercy came over and oh man we played around way too much. She had a digi cam which we used to take pics of anything and everything. These pics are up too! Just go to MORE PICS under my links area. Yeah I had to create another account cuz the old one had too many already n pbase wouldn't let me add more. So yeah... slept at like 1.

Tuesday morn was ugh! I woke up at 6:30 and got ready, went to chem. At breakfast at 9, went to ASA where I caught up on some rest. I didn't sleep, I just laid back and closed my eyes. Its pretty good. I hear everything he says but I'm just resting. Freakin Hanh whacks me. I know she just wants to hit me. Then back to her place after ASA and I did freaking math hw for 5 HOURS. Good god... it was too much. Then I went to math disc at 4. Went home at 5. Did more math hw >:[

Wed, I went to math, went to work out and went to Engineering II to get info about changing majors. It was semi productive cuz I couldn't change it right away. I have to wait till first 10 days of the next quarter. But its koo cuz I got the info. Then I biked home and did chem lab stuff. At 5 I went with Tony to go play badminton with the badminton club! Oh man I hadn't played like that in sucha long time! Dang ppl there are hella good. I played against this big guy I always see when I go work out. He seems pretty nice. Freakin Tony hit me 3 times. Once on the outside of my right arm, once on the inside of my arm, and one of his shots riocheted off my racket n grazed my right cheek. Me and him played against that big guy and his partner. We split and me and Tony won! Yay. I got hit during that game when one of them smashed but it didn't hurt cuz oreo.. I didn't feel it much. Then we played mix against this guy and girl DAYAM they were hella good. Especially the guy. Man he scared me. I was playing front for like a few mins and I was hecka paranoid. I was like ahhh I can't do this so I played doubles with Tony. Man they whupped our butts. So sad. One of the guy's smashes barely missed me, I could feel it graze the hair on top of my head. Eek. The girl is very good at playing up. I bet she's a mix player. Later Tony told me she was a Mix and Singles player. CRaazy. So yeah at 7 Tony drove me back to my place. And I ate dinner with Jeff and Jess.

Thursday was sucha long day. Chem, ASA, then went to the law school to watch this video on Fred Korematsu. He was the guy in Korematsu vs. United States in the Supreme Court case where he contested whether or not the Japanese interment was constitutional. Yah it was kewl. Made me want to meet the guy. He was suppose to come later on that night at 6. But it was for 2 hours and I was like hmm I had to study for math. Anyway, after the video I went straight to lab. Blah lab took awhile. I got out at 3:30. Waited for the bus at 3:40. Went home. Rested for an hour and then started studying math. Math math math all nite.

Friday morn I woke up, ate, looked over math stuff again and then biked to class to take the midterm. I don't want to jinx myself but I thought the midterm wasn't that bad. I hope I did good on it. So that's all I'm gonna say on it till I get my results back. Then I went to work out. Back home. Took a quick shower, went to chem disc and back to the dorm. That's all so far. This weekend will be filled with chem studying. I'm so behind in chem reading its not even funnie. I have to do the practice problems too. Ugh.. geez louise. Saturday nite I mite go with Jeff and Amanda to watch the Jet Li movie with DMX and Kelly Hu in it, Cradle 2 the Grave. I think I mite go ice skating with Jannie on Sunday too. So, we'll see. Gosh.. gotta get this chem crap done. >:P Yep, that's all for now. Go look at the pics!

2003-02-24T18:47:00.000-08:00

My Pics are updated!

Friday I went to math then to the rec to work out. I was pretty tired. I went home and changed. I felt sooo lazy, I made myself miss the bus so I could bike to my chem discussion. It was such a nice day! Chilly and slightly windy but the sun was out and blue skies. So yeah I'm glad I biked, I got to enjoy more of the day. Chem discussion passed and I went home. I ate lunch and Hanh came to pick me up. We went to Sacramento to go shopping. I don't remember what the mall was called but it was big and it looked nice. Chi went with us because she was looking for clothes to wear to the semi formal. Dieu and Hanh spent most of Thursday trying to convince me to go but I said nah cuz I didn't want to spend 10 bucks on a ticket. So I tagged along just to see what Sac looked like n this mall Hanh talked of. There was hella traffic on the way there so I went to sleep cuz I had been lacking it through out the week. I woke up when Kat called me and asked if I wanted Quiznos since Jeff and Sam were going to South Davis. I said no thanks. We were at the mall and we went to the Gap, Express (My two fav stores), Forever 21, lots of shoe stores. At forever 21 I saw this nice green top and pointed it out to Hanh and Chi. Chi ended up buying it as her top for the semi formal. We went to the shoe stores but Chi couldn't find anything she liked. Then we went to the food court and ate Panda Express. The food was alright, I liked the guava drink haha. My fortune cookie said something but I can't remember it at the moment. Then we went home. Geez traffic on the way back and Hanh wasn't even sure we were going the right way. Hahah.

You know what!? People in Sacramento and Davis CANNOT drive for goodness sake. I swear... People were driving 50 mph in the FASTEST lane. Hanh was speeding up and the max she went was 60. Sad sad sad. There was this one truck that was holding up the line in the fastest lane! He was going hella slow and there was this big ass gap between him and the next car. Hanh tried to speed up to get in there but the car in front of us was going to slow so we didn't have a big enough gap to change lanes. What's wrong with these people? Its kinda funnie how people here drive so slow and are kinda curteous. Dude in San Jose, better watch out foos! Haha Cars go fast and ppl aren't so curteous. There's horn honking, finger gestures, line cutting, etc. Shoot I would be scared to be a biker in SJ. Here in Davis the cars wait for you. In SJ, you wait for the cars or get ur ass runned over. Sigh, I miss driving.

Anyway, Hanh dropped me off at my dorm and I chilled for awhile. I can't remember what I did. Kat, Jeff, and Jess kept saying they'd come over but they took forever. After awhile I was like dude watever. So I went to the living room to watch tv. Kat comes over. Then Jeff comes over. Then Jess comes over. Then finally Amanda. They all trickle in one by one. Tsk tsk tsk. Come in a bunch why don't cha. So we watched this thing on the discovery channel about martial arts and ninja stuff. It was pretty interesting. We also played speed.

Time to Eat, I'll update later.

So I can't remember what we were doing for awhile. Me and Amanda were biting each other and it spread to Kat and Jess then Jeff. Me and Amanda attacked them all on the couch, Kat escaped but somehow we all ended up on the floor.Jeff was on the floor, Jess was on top, I was on top of Jess and Amanda was on me. I was distracted by trying not to crush whoever was under me and I felt this weird squeezing sensation on my forearm and I'm like what the... I look down and OMG its freakin Jeff. He's holding my arm and gnawing on it. I try to bite him back but he pulled away. Jess somehow got hurt *shrugs* n she was crying for a little bit. Jeff was staring at the whiteboard and I was going to go write something on it but opportunity presented itself and I got Jeff's arm and bit it hahaha. Jess left and so all of us sat there n talked for awhile then Kat and Jeff left. It was only 1:30! So early. Amanda stayed behind and I had fun talking to her. So we talked till 3:30 something before I kicked her out cuz I needed sleep cuz I wanted to get up to eat breakfast the next morn.

Saturday we all went to eat brunch and Jeff left early cuz he was going home. We all went back to our respective places I think. Amanda went to Jackie's. Later we went to eat dinner and we went to Kat's afterwards so she could pick up her stuff cuz she was gonna sleep over at my place. While I was waiting, I was eating this ice cream. I don't konw what happened but I dropped it and I saved it from hitting Kat's floor... at the cost of my sweatshirt. Yuck. Hehe So back to my place. I had been working all day on my ASA essay and I wasn't done yet so I went back to doing my essay while Kat and Jess were in the living room doing their own thing. They were suppose to be doin ghw but they played mario kart and watched tv. I finally freaking finished my draft at 11. I played mario kart and I don't konw what else we did. Kat fell asleep. I flipped thru the channels, there was this movie on Kundun I always see bits n parts of it but I never saw the whole thing. Jess left around 1 something and Kat woke up n watched the rest of the Kundun movie with me. There was like 5 mins left. We both brushed our teeth and went to sleep.

Sunday morn we went to eat and Kat came back to my place to get her stuff n walked back to Thoreau. I showed Amanda this Daredevil pic and we were all aaaaaa about it haha. Kat called Jeff about this phone we saw in the ads in the newspaper at brunch. Then me Amanda and Jan ended up playing Mario Kart for an hour. Didn't start hw till like 3... geez. At 9 I was hula hooping and watching Alias. I hear Amanda come running up. She said she ran from Jackie's. That girl.. always late. So yeah that's all. I have to go eat. I'll probably update about Monday in a diff post.

2003-02-19T19:33:00.000-08:00

Friday, I went to math with Jeff, we worked out and then I went back to my place while he went to the bookstore. I was waiting for him to come over but he took too long so me and Amanda went to the DC to eat. They were having a special! Sushi for lunch. Mmm Mmm it was soo good, I swear I must have eaten 20 rolls. Amanda even stole some in her DC mug haha. I was so stuffed, Vietchi came in and sat with us. We all were hella laughing about lots of things. One of the things that came up was running 1 and a half miles in your lifetime. Hehe yah... Tofu jokes, etc. It was almost 12 and I was really lazy to go to class and Amanda said don't go so I didn't. We ended up sittin and chatting in the dc till 12:30. Jasmine came in around 12:15 and sat next to us.

I came back and Jeff said he'd come over. When he did he had roses for us! How sweet of him. Valentines Day and all. So that's why he went to the bookstore! So yah, we all sat n chatted a bit. Then Jeff had to go. Me and Amanda were just chillin and Jan came back from class. Amanda kept picking on my bunnie. Leave her alone! So 2pm came around and Vi came to pick me up. Amanda helped me carry my stuff down and Kat and Jeff happened to be walking by and I said by to them. I slepted for 30 mins on the ride back.

I came home and told my dad I was going to to the badminton practice at Creek. He's like okay I'll take you. I was like aww can I just drive, its right there! He's like no but I persisted and said I'd have to take Jennie home anyway. Then he's like okay but be verrrry careful since I didn't have insurance. I was like yay! Oh man it made me soooo freakin happy to be able to drive again. It was sooo fun in my old car. I love it! Driving is soo fun. I went to practice. When I got there it was 4:15, half way thru practice. I hugged Mrs. Nunes and I went around trying to help coach the JVs. Someone ran up to me and covered my eyes. Of course, I guessed who it was, Kim. She had a taro drink and I had some, it was yummy. Kim was like come on lets run with the JVs so I said okay. So me and her ran a few sprints with the JVs at the end. I drove my sis home.

Saturday morning I woke up at 8 so I could go to the JV practice at 9. Yay my dad let me drive AGAIN. Wow so nice haha. I even got to drive my mom's car. Though I dun think he knew I was driving my mom's car. Anyway, Towards the end of JV practice Tina came running up and hugged me. She's like wow I thought it was you and it is! Haha. Tina's so silly. Ahhh I love badminton. I drove my sis home after her practice and came back for the varsity practice. Man seeing all the drills, exercises/conditioning they have to do, it makes me wonder how on earth I did it. It looks sooo hard and tiring. So yah I didn't really help out much cuz its varsity practice. I watched and help Mrs. Nunes put up signs n watever she needed. Peter and Mimi came to visit! I talked with them for awhile. Then Mrs. Nunes said she could stay an hour after practice so we played open gym. Oh man it was so fun, I was playing pretty well. Jimmy came too! Damn mofo! Still soo good. He hit Mimi 3 times I think. Haha. I played pretty hard. When I went home I could feel my sides and shoulders hurting already. I felt so tired but I had to read for ASA.

Then I made egg rolls for dinner. Peter called me up n asked if I wanted to go out. I said sure. So Justin and Brian Le came and picked me up those funnie guys hehe. Yah I was pimping it in that car while Peter was pimping it in his car with Tina, Hanh and Mimi. We went to San Jose State to go bowling and played pool. Eww Tina hella bowled good. She was trying to break 3 digits but failed by 4 pts. Peter did hella good, got like 106 I think. Tina was the Tramp (TT), Peter was Patricia(CIA), Justin was Mr. Manly (MAN), Brian was Mrs. Man (MRS) Hanh was Ho (HOO) I was Chicken (KFC) and I forgot wat Mimi was. Shorty? MM? I dunno. Haha

Sunday I did nothing all day. Tried to read. Can't remember what I did. Laundry. I ate Banh Mi for lunch. Wow my memory's shot I can't remember what I did. I burned my mommy Chicago onto CDs. And the soundtrack.

Monday I woke up at 7 and Clare picked me up at 7:45 and we went to Badminton practice. I ran with them in the beginning, did jump roping, wall sit. Freakin Kim messed up her leg snowboarding on Sunday. Good job so she's gonna be out for a couple of weeks. Geez, tsk tsk tsk. She sat thru out practice complaining about her leg. I talked to Clare and watched the singles games going on. Talk to Ellis, John, Cow, Annie.

JVs started practice and I watched for a bit when Clare wanted to go grab food. We went to Subway and ate there while we reminisced about the good times :] Subway was remodeled! Looks nicer and you can see the ingredients haha. We went back and helped out the JVs. Then we played open gym. We played again Jimmy and Kit first and we lost. Blah I wasn't playing so well. They we played against these two guys. Then I helped my sis out with clears and serving. Then Clare dropped me off at home. I went home, packed last min stuff, ate yogurt and a cinnamon roll. Vi came at 4:15 and we went back to Davis.

That nite I could not sleep very well. My gosh, my body was sore. My sides hurt, my chest hurted from the push ups. Geez I was in pain. I woke up went to class on Tuesday. At about 5:15 Clare and Ngoc came up to visit me! Yay!

Oh time to go eat. Update later.

So yah Clare and Ngoc came up to visit me here Davis and spent the night. First I had to do math hw so I showed them my place, Clare took some pics and I let them play N64 n watch tv while I did hw. Then I took em to CDC where we met up with Kat, Jess, Jeff and Amanda. Dinner was not soo good. The food wasn't that great so they didn't get a taste of good dc food. Then I took them to Amanda's room to show them what their room looks like, we went back to my place, changed, biked to Emerson so they could see Jeff's and Kat's place. Then we biked to the Rec Hall to play some badminton! Yay! But the courts were full so we worked out in the weight room for awhile. Then we cleared and stuff on the big blue mat for awhile. We finally got on a court but we had to share it. Its all good. Oh man it was so funnie, Everyone hit everyone atleast once. It all started when Clare was playing back behind me and she smashed it and *crack* smacked me right smack dab in the middle of my back. Man it hit my spine hella hard. Hehe its all good. Then we switched and Jeff hit Clare. Then Clare smashed and hit Jeff pretty good hehe, Jeff hit Ngoc from behind. I hit Jeff with a smash. Hehe Its all good. I had lots of fun playing again, especially with Clare. It was 11:45pm and I was like ooo I need to go back to finish my math hw cuz it was due tomorrow. So we biked back and Jeff helped me with math hw real quick then he went back to his place. I was pretty tired but I went to Amanda's to get her ID card to borrow for the next day. I ended up staying at her place for almost half an hour haha and we had this funnie conversation with ourselves iming jeff. After that back to my place brushed teeth n went to sleep n said night to Ngoc n Clare.

Next morn woke up at 7:15 n woke Clare up so she could go check on her car and move it. She did but there were no parking spots so she parked across the street. Then we went to breakfast and went to my math class. I took them to Primero Grove and then toured them around campus. Then we went back to my place. We discovered Clare got a ticket! Damn TAPs bastards... ugh.. it was for 30 bucks. And the ticket was written at 8am! When we were having breakfast AFTER she moved her car. Dude. hella wrong. Stupid ass ticket mofos. So yeah, that sucked ass. Then we went to drive around downtown and to South Davis. We decided to eat at the pho place on B street. I had Mi Xao Don which was yummy in my tummy! I shared that with Ngoc. Clare got Pho Thai. Then we went to the Gap then to Borders where we looked at this Ripley's Believe it for not book. It was pretty interesting hahaha. Especially the Abe Lincoln pic! After we went to Jamba. Clare's Caribbean Passion is pretty good. I got my usual Strawberries Wild. Jeff needs to try it! Ngoc got Mango? I'm not sure. So yeah we went back to my place cuz Ngoc needed to pee. Then we went to City Hall so Clare could pay off her tix. Haha silly Clare started taking pics of the lady who she was paying the money too and we took pics of City Hall. I took a pic of Clare being mad at the board that says City of Davis. The lady was haha " I like your attitude towards paying the tix, I don't want to see you here again!"

So yeah, then they dropped me off, It was around 1:30 and then they left.

At around 4 Hanh picked me and Jannie up and we went with Kim, Chi and Dieu to Allegre to sign our lease there for next year. When I got out of the car I saw the Davis badminton club vp driving by and we waved haha. So then we went in to get the lease and sign it. That took a long time. We were reading it and passing the thing around the circle table for everyone to sign hahah. Then we went back dropped Jan and me off. Jan went to her Aunt's and I went back to my place. Hanh wanted me to go shopping with her in Sac for the semi formal but I had a lot of hw to do so I said I couldn't.

That's all. Today was sucha a long day and I was sooo tired. I was closing my eyes in ASA class, I wasn't sleeping! Geez, I heard what he was saying. I guess I was closing my eyes for a long time cuz Hanh freaking smacked me! OMG it scared me, I opened my eyes and sat up! Haha Dork. Lab was kinda quick. I'm not sure. It was sucha nice day outside minus the wind. The sun was warm but the wind made it kinda cold. It was hella cold in the morning. I waited awhile and the D line came by so I took that instead of the C. I figured it was a nice day, I could use the walk as exercise and to just simply enjoy the sun.

Today is Dieu's Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIEU!!! Hanh got her shoes, and Ashley got her the My Big Fat Greek Wedding dvd. They also have and addition to their dorm. Ashey got a gold fish. It looked pretty lethargic though... It just laid at the bottom the whole time! It must be lonely and kinda cramped. Dieu also had a b-day cake! It looked yummy! Hehe

That's all for now! Hopefully I will be able to get the pics Clare took with her digi cam soon and post it up on my site.

I just watched a sneak preview of Daredevil movie today and all I have to say is that I HATE IT. I HATE IT SOOO FREAKING MUCH. I won't go into details because I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone who wants to watch it. But I just feel so upset and angry and sad about that movie! UGH. F*** whoever wrote and directed that movie. GRRRRRR. I can't even think straight enough to write more so that's all I'll leave with.

2003-02-11T15:42:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was fun! After math I went to Hanh and Dieu's. Then Jeff called me so I went to meet up with him and Jess in front of Olson then we talked to Baker's Square to pick up Jan's pie. I thought it was on A street so when we walked we're like oh what, that's B street. So we walked backwards and went to A street. But apparently it was not on A street as we walked down it. So we went to B street and there it was. I was debating between the french silk pie or the strawberry silk. I decided on the strawberry silk with the help of Jess and Jeff. I bought it and then we walked towards the street we were on previously from Olson. So we pretty much walked in a circle and then some. We went back to Young where I split with Jeff and Jess. I went back to Hanh and Dieu's to do the my math hw. Around 1 I went to the MU with the pie, went back to Castilian, then to Amanda's to stash the pie so Jan wouldn't know.

Later on Kat, Jeff and Jess came over so we could sign her card and they brought the M&M folders over. We hid them when Jan came back from her lab. We went to dinner and then came back. Stupid Jeff kicked me so I kicked him back on the way to Amanda's to pick up the pie from their fridge. We brought it back up but Jan was in the shower. When she came out we gave her the pie. Mm Mm it was yummmmMy Good stuff. Loretta tried attacking Jannie with pie but I don't think she was successful. Then freakin TINA put creme on me cheek! OMG! I cannot believe! That was the first time I ever got creamed and it wasn't even my birthday! Geez Louise! So I grabbed cream off of Amanda's plate and stuck it to Tina! I got it on her face and some fell down her shirt hahaha. Then I got Jess to turn on her cam and I creamed Jeff! He tried to get me back and I think he was semi successful. I can't remember if I go him back some more cuz I leaned over the couch kicking him away. When I came back up there was cream on his face, head and shirt. I think Amanda had something to do with that. So he ran an tried to get Amanda. I went to the sink to wash off and so did Jeff but he flicked water at me! So I got a scoopfull and let him have it! Needless to say that started off another war, except with water. By the time we were done, the mirror was wet, the carpet was soaked, there was water on the walls, doors, in the bathroom, everywhere! Hahaha I got Jeff GOOD though. He was soaking wet while I was not as wet as he was. I was wearing white so I had to change. When I went out to the living room Jeff came after me and heaved this cup at me. I ducked but there was no water in the cup. Oh man if there had been, Tina woulda totally gotten wet. Fun stuff. So more creaming went on and lets just say there were some cream trails on the floor. The bathroom sink area was completely wet. Jeff and me cleaned that up. :D Then I had some cheesecake and then Kat and Jeff had to go. Amanda and Jess went with them. Amanda had cream on her face when she left. A few seconds after I closed the door I heard screaming and thuds. Apparently Amanda used the ammo on her face on Jeff haha. Good stuff. It was fun! Jan had a good time too so :]

There are pics of the chaos that went on in my pics link. Enjoy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANNIE!!!!!!!

We are not young hooligans. You know what you are! Hehehehe.

My Pics are updated!

2003-02-10T00:00:00.000-08:00

This post continues from the bottom of the last one.

On the bus we talked about dinner plans and they were gonna go out to eat. So we all went back to our respective places and took a shower n got ready. I made a chatroom to figure out where to go. Jeff wanted pasta so I looked up places in Davis and I found this Italian place in North Davis called Strings. When I figure out how to add links in my entries I'll put the link to it up. So yah. We piled into Amanda's car, I got shotgun of course. We went to Strings and had to wait for awhile for them to get tables ready for the 6 of us. Half of us, me, Jeff and Sam got Fetticini Alfredo, and the other half, Kat, Jess and Amanda got ravioli. Pasta was good. I love their pizza bread thing. We kept eating a whole bunch of them haha. I saw on the dessert menu they had Tarimisu and I was like OH I want that! But I was so full at the end. :[

Sam got up and said he was gonna go ask the waiter for more bread and I didn't think anything of it cuz thats what I thought he was really gonna do. But OMG I turn around and he's reaching over the counter with his wallet open. That mofo paid for all of us! Omg that was hella nice of him but it was totally wrong! He's the guest from Berkeley, he shouldn't be treating us! We're like what the hell dude, that's not kool. Man, that was really really nice of him. I wanted to pay him back after we left the restaurant but he kept insisting that we don't. We're gonna have to do something for that guy when he comes back. So we took some pics outside and then we went back to my place so Sam could see Loretta. We played Mario Kart and Golden Eye where Sam just totally got massacred by us. Hahah it was quite funnie. Took more group pics. Finally they left cuz Kat had to go back and do hw.

Friday, I went to work out. Went to disc but dude, the TA didn't even show up. :P So I went with Hanh on the G line to her bro's place to pic up her car and we went to my place, I grabbed my wallet and we headed off to South Davis for food. Freakin Hanh convinced me to eat In N Out. Bah fattening, ruin my workout! But it was soo good and I hadn't had it in sucha long time. But we didn't eat there. After we bought the food it was like 1:15 so I called Vi up and we went to her place. Hanh wanted to see the inside of Allegre. I talked to Vi for a little bit about her stupid ass housemates and then we left cuz her and Oanh were going back home to SJ. Vi's mom came back from visiting Vietnam so Vi wanted to see her of course. Hanh drove us back to my place where I ate the burger and watched my soap. At almost 3 we left and went to Sorrento. We went to the open houses and saw the insides. The townhouse is nicer than the flat. But the inside is really nice! I like it. I like the way the kitchen is designed with the nook and stuff. Its not as nice as allegre but its koo. Bathrooms are okay, bedrooms are okay. The way the girls decorated their apt is pretty nice and cozy. These guys had millions of dvds my goodness. So after that we didn't want to go back yet so we went across the street where Hanh went to the atm. Then we went to Safeway n bought food. Jeff called me while I was there and I told him the fraps were on sale. I bought the vanilla and caramel ones for him. After we went back to my place where we hung out. Hanh left but then came back. We got her to play Golden Eye where she kept getting massacred but then she got the hang of it and murdered everyone atleast once haha.
She left at 6 and thats when me Jan and Tina got ready and went to OCDC.

We ate dinner with the usual ppl and Ruth. Afterwards Amanda left to go to AACF and we went to play pool in Emerson. First it was me, Jess and Ruth against Kat Jeff and Jannie. We lost I think. Then we changed teams. Me, Jeff, and Jess vs Jan, Kat, and Ruth. We won. Then it was a showdown between me and Ruth. I won haha like 6 times in one game! How sad is that. She kept sinking the 8 ball. We continued to play when I finally knocked in the 8 ball for the win. After that back to Kat's place. Then to Jeff's. On the way to Jeff's I went to Ruth's place to check it out then to Jeff's. They were gonna watch LOTR 2 but me and RUth didn't want to watch it. Amanda was back so we're like ooo koo we're gonna go to her place to watch Catch Me If You Can. Me and Ruth went to my place first so I could change and she could see my room. Then off to Amanda's. Jan came over and we ended up watching the episode of JAG Jess taped for me. Then we got lazy and didn't want to watch catch me if you can anymore. Instead we ended up watching 3 hours of Who's Line Is It Anyway. OMG those eps were soooo freaking hilarious. Like the descending evolution skit and the Elephant sounds. Oh man I was laughing hella at the Elephant going QUACK QUACK QUACK. The insults were pretty funnie too.

After watching I climbed on to Amanda's bed and almost fell asleep when Jannie got up to go. I got up too but I ended up not going and Jan went back. I looked at pics on Amanda's comp and helped Ruth look for her id card. Then I went back n slept.

Saturday breakfast. After eating we stood outside in the sun deciding what to do. That got us no where but it was really nice just standing in the sun to enjoy it. I hadn't done that in the longest time. We finally went back to our dorms without deciding. Later Jeff said he was going to Harvest so I said I'd go to so I went over. Me Kat and him walked to Harvest where they got junk food. Kat was very happy about her junk food on the way back. I went up to Kat's for a little bit where Jeff dragged me off to go to the rec hall and play badminton with him. We said bye to Kat cuz she was going back home for a family dinner thing.

The stupid rec hall had some event so they closed the courts off. So I ended up working out with weights, machines and running. My usual work out. After the Rec we went to my place where Jeff attempted to fix things on my comp. Off to dinner. Then back to my place. Me, Jan, Jess and Jeff played uno, 13, speed, speed 2 and then nothing for awhile. I talked about Chicago and I found it online so I dled it. I was like hey lets watch it. I kinda expected it to be bad quality like someone taped it in the theater but OMG! I got a screener's version! It's helllllla tight. Dvd quality!!! So we all watched it on my bed. Good stuff. I got to see it again and everyone else for the first time. After the movie was over everyone enjoyed it but was tired so they left.

Sunday breakfast then to Jeff's where we ate Oreos dipped in milk. We also attempted to make jello hahaha but oh man with the limited supplies it turned out VERY difficult to make. Then back to my place to do hw. Dinner. Then Amanda came over for Alias. We watched it and I hula hooped for a bit. Me n Amanda took pics and then off she went to her place.

That's all!

2003-02-08T12:50:00.000-08:00

On Wednesday we went to Sorrento but we took the bus and by the time we got there it was 4 something and we had just missed the open houses. Boo! We wasted about 2 and a half hours just going there cuz of waiting for the buses etc. I called Vi up and she said she was going to discussion and she was on the bus right now. I think if we had taken the Shields line then we woulda saw her. Darn. Its koo though. So we went back to our places and I was so tired. That was 2 and a half hours I coulda napped but noooo. I didn't feel like doing any hw because of all the studyind I did in the previous days. So I played Golden Eye with Tina, Jannie and Loretta. Dinner after that I believe. I watched tv at 8, corrected Tina's english essay and then I went to do my lab write up and pre lab. Dang the pre lab for the titrations are helllla long. My god. I thought I'd be able to finish by 11:30 but I couldn't. My finger had a dent from writing so much and it hurted too! I just stopped at 11:40 and got ready for bed.

Thursday I went to lect, had breakfast, continued the pre lab, went to Asa, finished pre lab and watched like 20 mins of this movie called "The Touch" haha. It has Michelle Yeoh in it. My friend sent it to me but for some reason it doesn't have audio so I watched it at her place. Then went to lab. Lab was sooo freaking long. Thank goodness we didn't mess up on our titrations but we were still the slowest ones! We were so slow that the TA asked us if we had started on any of our unknowns and we said no. THen she said can I do them for you? We're like uhh SURE! haha so my TA ended up doing all 3 unknown titrations for us! When I got out I debated whether or not to go to Kat's place cuz she asked me to come over but I was pretty tired. I wanted to go home and sleep. But I decided to call her and she picked up and said they were at the rec playing badminton. Haha that got my attention real quick. She said her, Amanda, Jeff, Jess and Sam were there. Sam is Jeff's friend from CV who goes to Berkeley now and came here to visit. So I hopped on the D line and got off at the rec. When I went inside I couldn't find them. They weren't playing badminton and after 10 mins I found them in the weights and machines room. I felt totally stupid being there cuz I was dressed in regular clothes while everyone is working out in work out clothes. Durrr. So I finally met Sam, he seems to be like a pretty nice guy. Taller than Jeff! Haha everyone I meet just keeps getting taller and taller, except Ruth. Hahahah j/p. So after Kat did crunches, me, her and Amanda went to play some badminton. I normal wear tennis shoes but today I didn't. I was wearing these black shoes and man I couldn't really run that well in them. But its okay I was still able to play. It was the funniest thing. Amanda kept insulting me and I smashed the bird at her and it smacked her right in the middle of her stomach and she was like "omph" hahaha That quieted her up real fast! I was hecka cracking up hahaha. Serves you right Amanda! Later on Amanda tried hitting me by standing a few feet away and hitting the bird but I blocked it haha. Too bad! So sad!

Later Jeff and Sam came over and Jeff started playing. I hit him too. OMG stupid Jeff, came after me later on and kicked my butt. I kicked him back of course and we got into this push and pull thing when he tripped me and I fell backwards thought I was still holding on to him. Damn bastard didn't break my fall! Where's the chivalry!? Last time I tripped him I still saved him from falling completely into the bushes! He coulda given me the courtesy of saving me too! I'm gonna get him back one of these days. So Sam took a whole bunch of pictures of all of us. Amanda kept asking for it so I was like fine you want me to smash you again!? So Jeff set up shots and I tried smashing at her but she hid behind Kat. I came close though.

So we left the rec and waited at the bus stop. Me and Jeff talked about the Sorrento waiting list and Sam smacked his head on the overhead beam in the waiting booth.

Opp time for bruch bbl to update.

2003-02-05T12:08:00.000-08:00

This post will continue from where I left off in the previous post. So that Friday nite I helped my sis with her badminton stuff, helping her "roll her wrist" and fix her positions. She improved some but we'll see how she does when it comes to the actual full motion and in a real hitting situation. I hope she makes the team. Dang now that badminton season has started I long to play. I really miss hs and being on the team. By this time I'd be hecka excited and thrilled just to be doing all this stuff again. And all my badminton friends would be excited too and we'd talk about it and annoy jannie haha such good times! So yeah I helped her till almost midnight when we heard fire crackers going off and we're like whoa midnight already!? Tet had arrived so we busted out our firecrackers and lit them outside too! I love lighting fire crackers! They're so fun but they scare the crap outta me when I light them haha. I light it and then get away quickly. So then we did all the new year tradition, wish everyone good luck, health, prosperity, etc., prayed and yeah. My parents gave me li xi and then they went to bed. I went online and told ppl happy new year and went to sleep too.

Next morning (Feb 1st) I went downstairs and ate breakfast. My dad came down and told me the spaceshuttle Columbia had blown up in the air. I was like what the heck!? He told me it was on its way back to Florida to land when it blew up over Texas. They only had 19 more mins to go before they were in Florida! Man that's hella sad. What a way to start off the new year. So that was depressing. After putting away the dishes I went upstairs and started reading my chem. The midterm for chem was on Tuesday so I had to hecka study this weekend since I didn't really grasp chem that well. I finished reading chapter 5. Did most of the chpt 5 probs and skipped the ones I didn't understand. Then I attempted the partial fractions hw for math but that didn't go to well so I stopped. Later on I read for ASA and then I attempted to do the practice chem midterm. I looked at the answers on the webpage afterwards and ack. Went to sleep around midnite.

Sunday I woke up and tried to go over my chem notes from class. Vi called around 1:30 and said Oanh didn't want to go back till 8 and I was like hmm I'll call you back. I called Brian and asked him when he was going back and he said 3 so I asked if I could hitch a ride. I called Vi back n said I'd be going with Brian and then I called Jan to tell her what's up. She wanted to go back with Vi so yeah. Packed up all my stuff, ate lunch. Looked over more notes. And then when it was about 3 I watched tv till Brian called.

Brian had to go get gas but that took forever, omg the line was hellla long. He told me he went with his cousin to Asbys to buy a badminton racket. Brian also bought these Gundam Battle Scarred figurines from Target. Omg.. haha its so funnie, I was like SHOOT i could toally make these for you. Burn the models a bit, drag em through the dirt, stomp on them a few times and voila! you got your 'battle scarred' gundam model hahaha. He's like its okay its only 8 bucks. And he bought two. So on the way back to Davis, there was this sherrif who drove in front of us for the LONGEST time I swear, that sherrif probably caused a lot of traffic because everyone was going hellla slow and blah. So that sherrif turned a 1 and a half hour trip into a 2 hour trip. geez.

When I got back to my room, I unpacked quickly and then looked over my chem notes again. Went to dinner, came back, studied more, then watched ALIAS. omg, I swear I'm gonna have a heart attack watching this show. So much evil and back stabbing and I dunno what to believe! And EWW syn and vaughn slept together GROSS. I dunno, I just don't think they've earned the right to sleep together yet. Haha Usually I'm a shipper, which is a person who wants the two main characters to be togeher but I don't think they've built up enough tension yet. I kinda worry about Alias. It seems as if they've resolved the whole conflict already. They destroyed the Alliance, Sydney and Vaughn are together, what there is left to watch the show for? I mean that was the core story and now that its gone I kinda wonder where this show is going. I think last time they had the two main characters get together it was La Femme Nikita and that show died pretty much after they got together. So we'll just have to watch and see what happens to Alias.

Monday, I went to class then Hanh & Dieu's after so Hanh could help me with math and chem. After I went home I studied more for chem. Chem chem chem. I went to sleep at 11:30 I think. I set my radio alarm and my cell alarm

Tuesday Morning haha Chem midterm time! Except my radio alarm didn't go off. Pshh good thing I set my cell cuz that went off. Got up, got ready, went to the bus stop early. I looked over the practice midterm again. And then to chem class and took the midterm! I don't want to jinx myself. Hopefully I did good. The midterm was not as hard as I thought it would be but I know I missed some for sure. I missed I04, stupid Iodate.. where the hell was that in the polyatomics!? and I missed this one titration problem. My answer was 200mL off haha. So, we'll see. Hopefully I did well. Then ate breakfast. Yum, sausages, eggs, and a big waffle. I think I ate too much. So yah, then back to Hanh and Dieu's place to do math hw.

Went to Asa where me and Hanh continued our drawings. We also did mash. Yes class was that boring. I went home after Asa and wasted 3 hours of potential studying time for math. I was soo tired from chem that I dunno I didn't want to start studying right away. I watchedy my soap and took a shower, then went to math disc. Went home and started studying math. Man, I could not focus very well. I think I studied too much for chem and I was all studied out cuz I could not focus studying math. I kept trying but yeah... I imed Jeff and asked when's dinner but he didn't respond. I checked the other's away msgs and found out they went to eat without me! And without telling me! Boo. It woulda been nice if they had dropped a note or something. :T So at 6:30 Jannie Tina and Jasmine went to dinner and I went with them. Oh yah and earlier in the day when I was wasting the 3 hours, Tina was in my room and we were looking at anime wallpaper sites. I clicked on this link that said something like ecchi and Tina was like nooo that's porn! I was like what!? But nothing popped up so it was okay but I was like how do YOU know tina!? Haha Jannie was like yeaaaah how do you know. Tina said I konw cuz of my brother. We're like suuree, we know you watch porn too! Haha And that's gross cuz ur watching it with your brother! She was like ewwww nooooo!! Haha Funnie stuff.

Today, Wednesday, I totally fucked up my math midterm. I'm so depressed! Man I know I did really bad. I'm soooo sad. DAMMIT. There were only 4 problems and each had like two parts but :[ man I fucked up bad. Sigh. And then there's another midterm for math on the 28th of this month. I hella hope I can do it but I dunno. :[

I went to lunch with Jannie and Tina. Tina's hilarious. Over lunch she said how her friend's little brother kept looking at her and laughed. I told Tina she was funnie because she was kinda ditzy sometimes and I dunno the stuff she says n does is funnie. Me and Jan were also poking fun at Tina and her 'watching' porn. Haha :] And when we went back to the dorm, we all were arguing about how a banana is a gun. the stem is suppose to be the handle and the other end the barrel. But Tina holds the banana in the funniest/ weirdest ways. She holds it upside down or the barrel facing her or something! And she goes bang bang so its she's shooting herself! Man. Tina tina tina. She's like NOOO the banana gun can be any way! Me and Jan were like noooo it has to be the stem being the handle and the other end being the barrel. Yah we kept arguing. We're right and you're wrong Tina!

That's all for now! At 3, me, Jan, Hanh, Dieu, Kim and Chi are gonna go to Sorrento to look at the open houses.

2003-02-03T19:35:00.000-08:00

Dang okay I totally forgot what I did the week after the Super Bowl. Uh, oh yes, Wednesday morning I went over to Jeff's place that mofo kept me waiting. We were suppose to go to my math class cuz we both were gonna go to Allegre to get Loretta's check back and switch it with our own. So math class went by fast then we biked to south Davis. We were looking for the bike path that supposedly runs to south davis and we went to the book store to get a map. We went to Putah Creek where the path ended and was still under constructions. :T So we ended up biking under the tunnel and over the huge hill. First we went to Allegre and switched the checks. Went to Sharps n Flats to get some info, then to Sorrento. We talked to the lady there about the whole waitlist process etc. Then biked back home. It scary to bike back over the hill because you have to bike on the street with the cars so we opted to walk our bikes on the sidewalk till we could bike on the path in the tunnel again. We had lunch at OCDC then I went back to my place.

I can't remember what else I did so on Friday which was Vietnamese New Years Eve, I got all my stuff ready so when I came back from Chem disc I could leave right away. I packed all my stuff up and took out the trash. Geez stuff had been piling up in the living room. I had a retarded moment on Friday. My chem disc is at 12:10 and for some strange reason, I looked at the bus schedule and I was like oh the bus comes at 12:08, I'll take that one. As I stood out there the bus was late and I was like hmm my class is starting.. it wasn't until I was on the bus that I realized DUH STUPID I shoulda taken the the bus before this one. Oh yeah and I walked into the service desk area to drop off mail that I had to send and this lady came up to me and asked me in Japanese if I was Japanese. I understood what she asked but I said uhh noo. I shoulda responded in Japanese but whatever. So after that I was kinda worried for her. She was with this man and I thought they needed a translator or something but then the lady spoke English so I was like hmm. The service desk person took them to Castilian North to some room but they apparently didn't find who they were looking for. The head RA was there at the Service desk and I asked her if they needed a translator or if they needed help but the girl didn't know. I saw the Japanese lady and the guy wandering around a bit and I was gonna ask them if they needed help but I had to wait for the bus. I shoulda asked if they needed help cuz the bus didn't come for a long time.

So yah on my way back to the bus stop and I FINALLY see VI and her cousin Oanh. Geez all this time we've been in school and we've never seen each other on campus haha. But I kinda knew they were gonna be there since they ended at 1 and they had to go home too. I saw Kat, Jess and Ruth at the bus stop. I told Kat and Jess to be quiet as I crept up behind Ruth and jumped her. So I went home moved my stuff to the living room and waited for Vi to call. Vi came around 2:10 and me and Jan left. Ride home I kinda fell asleep. When we were on the 680/280 over pass hella traffic. Apparently those big freight trucks were on fire and had to discard its cargo and there was a fire truck and all this foam on the shoulder of the ramp haha. Kewl. But the fire was out, maybe if we had been there 30 mins earlier we woulda seen something :]

When I got home I was so excited! My parents weren't home, they went somewhere but all these New Years food and preparations were on the living room table and I was like wowie. That was when I felt the New Year spirit. I saw this new years thingie open so I warmed it up and ate it since I didn't really have a real lunch.

At 6 I went with my dad to pick up my sis from SC. I went to the gym and I saw Ky's car so I was like oh Ky's here. I went in and I saw Ky and David! I wave to Mrs. Nunes. She was talking to the group of frosh/sophs. Badminton try outs had started! I hugged Mrs. Nunes after she talked to the kids and we chatted briefly but I didn't want to keep my dad waiting so I told her I had to go.

I'm tired of writing, so I'm gonna update later.

2003-02-01T23:25:00.000-08:00

Chuc Mung Nam Moi!

Happy New Years everyone! Tet is today and I just wanted to post that. I'd write more about what I did today but I'm so busy and I wanted to post this before midnight so yeah! I hope everyone has a kool new year and that good stuff. :]

2003-01-28T20:02:00.000-08:00

Friday, what did we do? Not a clue. Can't remember. Maybe I should look at Jess's log hehe. OH yes, Monday schedule. I went to math in the morning and my chem discussion got cancelled which was kewl. But I had an ASA discussion at 5pm! Blah, I went to work out after math for the first time that week. I watched my soap and was hella tired so I took a nap, woke up n went to Asa. The TA was like I know you guys dun wanna be here, neither do I so I'll make some quick announcements and u guys can go. Kool. He just told us his office hours and where to find his ghetto office which use to be a supply closet so it doesn't have a number on it. So after like 10 mins we left and I waited at the bus stop for the bus. I hate waiting :P It kinda makes me mad that the TA just blows off all the discussions cuz I had to wake up from my nap and drag my butt all the way to Olson. So yeah, I debated about going to Kat's cuz I knew she was running on fumes with like 15 hours of sleep for the whole week, so I didn't want to go to her place n bug her while she slept. I called Jess to see where she was. She didn't pick up but she called back 3 mins later n said she was at Kat's who was still sleeping. So I headed over to Kat's. I went in and talked to Jess quietly when Kat popped her head up n said Hiiiiiiii. Then plopped back down on her pillow. Very strange. After a long while, Kat finally got up but she was a little kooky, outta it. Amanda came over and Jeff came back so we went to eat dinner at OCDC. We went to play pool in Emerson. Muhaha I was on a roll the first game of pool, I sank like 3 balls in a row! And then I sank a 4th one... the 8ball... Great. So yah lost that game. It was me and Jess vs. Kat, Jeff and Amanda. 2nd game, we were losing, and Kat sank the 8ball in last, but in the wrong pocket so we won. Hahah such crappy winnings by default. 3rd game it was about even and I dun remember who but the other team sank the 8ball in the wrong pocket so me and Jess won again. Hehe.

Update later.

Back! So after pool, we went to Kat's and were just lounging around not doing much. While we were playing pool I kept singing the song that goes "Anything you can do, I can do better! No you can't! Yes I can! No you can't, YES I CAN!!!!!" Fun stuff. I was pretty bored, so were the rest I think. Kat decided to be productive so she started doing Chinese hw, Jess was reading Eng and Amanda was playing games on my phone. I laid on her bed bored outta my mind. I forgot what Jeff was doing. Jeff left after awhile and went back to his place to do something. After a long while he called Kat and said he was gonna watch LOTR 1. Jess & Amanda wanted to watch it and so did Kat since she never saw it again. I didn't want to watch it but I went along cuz nothing else to do. I ended up watching the first 45 mins but it was like :P. I just wanted to see the wraiths who are sooooo cool! Amanda was half watching and half passing out. I was laying on her legs for awhile but then she lost the feeling in her right leg so I got up. She decided to share Jeff's pillow with me so I laid down on that instead. I ended up falling asleep which really suprised me. I usually can't sleep with other people around and especially the movie going on with the speakers up. But I did. I slept for about 15-20 mins and when I woke up the movie was almost over. Before I went to sleep Jeff was teasing Kat about not showing her the second half of the movie but he did hehe.

Amanda wanted to leave after LOTR ended but she found the matrix on Jeff's comp and decided to watch a few scenes so that took awhile. As I waited I gave Kat a nice long massage, chopping her back hehe *chop chop*. Finally 2 something we went back to Castilian. You know, it was that cold outside, which was very suprising since it's always freezing here. It was a nice walk back with me jess and amanda. I went back up, washed contacts, brushed teeth, etc and then passed out.

Saturday, woke up at 11:30 which was early for a usual saturday. The others finally got up at 12:30 and we went to eat at 1 something. I don't remember what was for breakfast. Over breakfast me and Jeff decided we were gonna go play badminton. When we went back, Amanda asked about Chicago, which only had one showing in Davis (figures) at 4:30pm. We all went online into a chatroom I made and talked about it. Me and Jeff realllly wanted to go out. As in out od Davis, to Sacramento or anywhere outside of Davis to explore n see what's around. But Amanda wasn't up for driving so we wasted a lot of time in the chatroom. It was SUCH a nice day outside! I couldn't believe it, you could see the blue skies, it wasn't so cold and the sun was shining!

At 4 me and Jeff just stuck to our original plan and went to the rec for some badminton. When I was getting my bike, Amanda popped out and she was going to rec too but to run. So we biked to Emerson, picked up Jeff, then off to the rec where we parted ways. The badminton courts were full. Finally when one of the courts cleared up these girls and one guy was hopping on it. I went over n was like excuse me, we were waiting here before you guys so this court is ours. They're like ... mumbling. So me and Jeff started to warm up and then the girls n guy were saying something like how about u guys play for 20 mins and we play for 20 etc. I was like you guys can have half the court.. but.. and they mumbled something about a game. I asked if they wanted to play a game and they kept mumbling. It was kinda pissing me off. I was gonna say we got here first and we're willing to share, either u take it or shut the hell up. But then they said okay they'll play a game against us or something. I was like I guess. We played the first two girls. They were sad, me and Jeff whupped their butts. I didn't hit anyone though. I think it woulda been mean if I hit one of them. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Next game, it was me and Jeff vs one of the girls and the guy. It was more challenging but me and Jeff still won. 3rd game was against that guy and a diff girl and this game was a lot harder. I dunno why, kept missing. But in the end it was a close game and they won. After that me and Jeff got off the court and I was trying to teach him how to properly smash. At first I tried setting it up for him but he was meeting the bird to low. So I went thru the motions with him. Tried to get him to do some footwork and the motions. Then I tried setting it up for him again. Its hard for him to change his habits. Its okay, it just takes time and muscle memory. Maybe next time. The rec worker came in and said it would be closing so we left. I wanted to play pool again. We went back to Jeff's and talked on the bike ride back about all the things that have gone on and things now.

We were at Jeff's and we caught Kat, Jess and Amanda just before they were gonna go to the OCDC. But me n Jeff weren't hungry and we managed to convince Amanda to drive us downtown to go eat at a restaurant. Me and Jeff wanted to dress up and told Kat. She's like dress up? Like what? Come over and help me pick out my clothes! Off we went to Kat's after Jeff got dressed. I helped Kat pick out her clothes, she took out this gray pants that was new and I was told her hey that looks like the pants that I have. Back to my place to change where they helped me pick out clothes. I took out my gray pants to wear and Kat looked at the tag and she's like "HEY these are my pants girl!" Haha that was pretty funnie cuz they were new too. I got them in Hawaii. So yah I changed. Then off we went to Amanda's. Outside my door, Kat was all fixing my collar and shirt awww soo nice of her hehe. Thanks. We went to Amanda's and her n Jess were like WHOA hella dressed up. We were gonna go to Quizno's but in the car we're like we'll see what comes up. Amanda almost went on the green light for bikes. In the parking lot she almost got hit by this white car! Man scary stuff. Person didn't stop or something and almost rammed us! Kat woulda been the first to go since she was sitting shotgun. Hehehe. There was this mexican restaurant called Dos Coyotes. They had steak burritos and other stuff. It was really good! I liked it a lot. But the scary thing was their plates look like the ones in the DC! except BIGGER! hahaha. I had chips with my order and I used Jeff's sour creme to dip in. OMg... my second bite into my steak burrito, I bit into this HOT pepper. OMG hot hot hot. I was fanning my tongue, drinking water. Oiii. I was hecka scared after that so I kept cutting my burrito with my fork to make sure I'd avoid any other peppers but there were none after the one I bit. Goood food. Yum.

Then we went to Safeway for Jeff's draino which he desperately needed for gross reasons. We went to Rite Aid after but it was closed. On to Jamba but that was closed too. Then to Tapioca Express. I got a lychee drink which was SUPER sweet. Jeff was nice enuff to hold it and melt it cuz it was so cold. He also thought by melting it, it would be less sweet. Kat got this Almond something and that was goood. Next time I go there, I'm getting that Almond thingie. So we talked there for awhile. Random weird stuff. Amanda that mofo kept laughing at me. Beat her! Kat, Jess and Amanda kept calling each other's phones. And then Amanda's phone rang and we're like nah uh its not us. She picked it up and said hi.. MOM! hahaha! We left around 11. We were gonna chill in my room. Jess and Amanda went back to their place to do something real quick, Jeff and Kat went back with me. I changed outta my clothes. When we walked in, Jan was sleeping so we told Jess we're going to their place. Not much stuff was being done there. I was soo tired. I let Amanda braid my hair.. or do watever she was doing with it as I perused pictures on her comp. After awhile I climbed onto Amanda's bed and eventually I fell asleep. Suprised me again. I guess its not so hard for me to fall asleep around ppl anymore. I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up it was 2 something. I noticed I was sleeping when I realized I couldn't hear Jess's music anymore. Then I woke up. Then Kat and Jeff were leaving. I got down and Amanda took the braids out and back to my room I went to sleep.

Oiii I wasted an hour and a half updating this instead of doing crucial chem hw. I must update this later.

Back again. Sunday morn we went to eat breakfast, went back and tried to frantically do some hw in and hour and a half before the Super Bowl. So when it was 3 Jeff and Kat came over and so did Amanda. BAM! We busted out with the food. Thanks to Jen Long who gave us a whole bunch of food as x-mas presents, we had caramel candies, reeses bite size peanut butter cups, wheat thins, pringles, capri suns, etc. I brought out chips ahoys, strawberry waffers, Jan brought out strawberry creme savers, Loretta brought out chexmix, and I think shrimp chips too, but i'm not totally sure who brought those. Amanda brought caramel popcorn, mmm sooo good. So yah junkfest! Yay, thats what super bowls are all about. Kat only stayed a bit and went to Jess's place cuz she wanted to do some work. So it was Jeff, me, Tina, Amanda, Jannie and Loretta in the living room watching the game. Ohhhh man, from the start I was the ONLY one rooting for the buccaneers. Everyone else was for the Raiders. I was rooting for the bucs cuz I had this thing going with Will, he hella likes the Raiders so I wanted the Bucs to win so I could rag on him some more. Not even 3 mins into the game and the Raiders intercepted the ball. OMG, I was like shit this is gonna be a bad game... BUT HA HA HA things changed very rapidly. Bucs scored a field goal and then kept sacking Gannon and intercepting the Raider's passes. MUHAHAHA I was having waaaay too much fun. Amanda was trying to defend the Raiders... PULLLEEEAAZEE.. they were so pathetic! Shooot and JEFF was trying to rag on me when the Raiders finally did something. Psh please! So everytime the Bucs sacked Gannon or intercepted, etc I hella ragged on them. They got all huffy hahaha just cuz you guys picked the WRONG team. My team's always the best :] Loretta was having a heart attack over the Raiders' performance too. She kept saying she couldn't stand to watch them... it was too painful hahaha. Man bucs were SPANKING the RAIDERS. At one point it was 33-3 before the first half was even over. Man. So all those RAIDER fans in the living room which was everyone sides me busted out their hw to do while the game was going on. Hah, can't even bare to watch their team lose. TAKE THAT!! I was having a ball. I was in their faces cuz I knew if the tables were turned they'd be ragging on me too so :P And if the bucs lost, I knew I'd never hear the end of it.

Fun stuff! So just before the halftime show started Jess and Kat came up to join us. We watched Shania perform first. She was alright, I wonder what that second song was called. We were all debating whether or not she was lip synching. I think she wasn't but everyone else thought she was. Well watever, then No Doubt performed, it was okay, she sang an old song. I think she should sang hella good. Then sting sang. That was just bad and boring. Second half of the game continued to be terrible for the retards, thought they managed to score two touch downs near the end. But still, they woulda needed a miracle to win. That miracle never came. Bucs were already celebrating and in the last two mins Gannon threw another interception and that was the end of it. HAHAHAHA LOSERS! I'd like to give a shout out to the Loser Raider fan friends of mine : first to WILL, haha what now? you're team sucks and u can't admit it, still trying to rag on the bucs even though they spanked the Raiders so bad. 2) to AMANDA who was trying to get in my face defending the Raiders but NOPE sorry too bad, sit down. 3) JEFF who only had something to say when the Raiders managed to do something decent, HA HA NO. They seldom did anything good and still lost badly so stop trying to elbow me! 4) LORETTA toooo bad! They lost bad and yes its too PAINFUL to watch but I enjoyed it! 5) JANNIE who wanted to see a fight but didn't get one though were was a pushing thing? I know she said she was neutral but she was leaning more towards the Retards.

During the later part of the game, Tina was bored from watching and fell asleep kinda and so Jannie used her pen and marked her face hahaha it was hella funnie but Jannie didn't do much. It was just a dot. Man I ate hella junk food! Very bad. The super bowl finally ended at 7:30. Man I wasted 4 and a half hours watching that game when I should have been doing the piles of hw I had. We all wanted to watch Alias which was suppose to be after the super bowl. But it wasn't gonna be on till 8 so we all rushed to the dc to eat a quick dinner. They had NOTHING to eat... nothing appetizing that is.

2003-01-25T12:57:00.000-08:00

Wednesday I got up about the normal time and got ready. As soon as Amanda got back from her class, me, Jess, Jeff, Steve and Amanda were gonna go to Sorrento to sign up for apts. Man, we thought we were early there was a helllla freaking long ass line that wrapped around the building and sidewalk. Geez louise. It wasn't this bad at Allegre. So yah we waited in line for awhile. Me and Jeff went to get applications and info sheets for everyone. We filled stuff out, I filled out one for a two bd apt, Jess and Amanda filled out one for a 2 bd apt, and Jeff filled out one for a 3bd. About half way to the office someone pointed out that Loretta and the Wills were here. Will was inquiring about his Raider's beanie which I had accosted from him the night before. :] I demanded a ransom for it. He has to write I love the forty niners in red on his profile and say it out loud to me in person. :] He refused I think so I guess someone's not getting it back! Finally we made it inside the office where it was slightly warmer than outside. We turned in our apps and paid the 8 dollar fee. Amanda was short one dollar so I lent her one.

We all piled into the car and left, Amanda had originally wanted to go to the Gap because her friend told her there was a fat sale but we ended up not going. We just went back to our dorms. She dropped Jeff and Steve off at Emerson and then we went back to Castilian. Her good parking spot was still there but blocked by these two huge trucks were blocking it. She couldn't find another space so she decided to wait in the parking lot and wait till the trucks left. One of them moved and she was able to park, after backing up and pulling forwards a few times hahaha.

I ate lunch with Amanda and Jeff at CDC. Then we went back to get our stuff n go to class. I biked to Jeff's place and then we headed off to his math lec cuz I skipped mine in the morning to go to Sorrento. We biked all the way there n were walking to the building when I had a horrific realization... I left my freaking hw on my desk. GEEZ LOUISE. I hopped back on my bike and pedaled madly back to my dorm, ran up the stairs ran to the room got the hw, ran back down, pedaled madly back to Wellman all in under 15 mins. Which I think is good considering how far my dorm is and how slow my bike is. Needless to say my legs were burning. But I think I'm sorta in shape so it wasn't as bad as it could be. I walked into the lecture hall and went down the stairs, saw Jeff and Will sitting next to each other so I squeezed passed them n sat down. I hadn't missed much, the teacher was still on the same problem.

After that I biked fast home so I could catch my soap. I can't remember what I did.. I think I read for chem and asa.

Thursday, 730 chem lect. After I went to eat at the Segundo dc for breakfast. 1030 asa.. oiii asa was soooo freaking boring. Man, the teacher made me hecka tired just listening to him blab. He is not very interesting. Shoulda got a diff teacher. After asa I wasn't hungry for lunch so we didn't go eat. I was so tired and didn't want to go to lab. But I had to. Lab was okay. Finished an hour early. Went out and just missed the bus. Man. Suckies. So I went to the Silo, wandered around but it was crowded so I couldn't sit down. Walked all the way down to the Olson bus stop and waited. Got on, went to Oxford. When it stopped at Castilian Jan and Loretta got on. Jan's like shouldn't you be getting off? haha lost? I was like nooo I'm going over there.

So I went to Kat's place. I helped her a bit on her essay. And then I laid on her bed for awhile. I might have dozed off for a min but my mind was still racing. When I started having strange thoughts, I realized I must be sleeping so I woke up. So yah, helped Kat some more on her essay. Then Jeff came over, we walked back to Castilian. I asked Jeff to carry my backpack cuz it was hella heavy and I had been hauling it around all day. They went to get Jess while I dropped my stuff off in my room. Went to eat. After we stood outside the dc. Me and Jess tried to convince Kat and Jeff to come up but they resisted haha but only after a long while standing out there chatting.

Okay I'm really hungry right now so I'm gonna stop here.

2003-01-22T09:15:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, Tuesday, was one of the most..turbulent days that I've had. In a way it turned out good and in a way it turned out bad.

It started out with Chem lec at 7:30 in the morn, went to Hanh and Dieu's to get some help on math hw. Then went to Asa, lecture was boring as usual but this time me n Hanh sat in the back. After Asa I took the bus home. I was just listening to Linkin Park in my room for awhile and Amanda asked if I was hungry so me and her went to lunch. We had a long talk, which was good. I'm glad I got to talk to her and stuff. Around 1:45 we went back and I called Kat to see if and when I'd be able to meet up to talk to her. She didn't know when until she finished her lab report. I said okay and so at 2 I watched my soap. Its funnie how I watched it and I just saw all these ironies in there that apply to my situation. Something like "don't look back because there's so much in the future" or watever blah blah. You know, when you're depressed I think you pick up on a lot of things. You're sense are more acute and you are a lot more aware of your surrounding, what people are saying around you, how happy they are, etc. So after the soap I made up my mind and I was gonna go to math disc. But Kat called at 3 something and she told me she was free so we could talk. I said okay and I went over there.

I think I have to go soon and I don't wanna write and stop in the middle of it so I'll just stop it here. I'll finish later.

Back again. Guess I shouldn't have put off writing this but yeah here I am.

So I went over to Kat's place and I sat on her bed. I started to talk to her about all that's happened and explained why I did the things I did. I just wanted to have a heart to heart talk with her so I know what she's feeling too. Before the weekend, I had been hanging out with her a lot and I felt like I was getting closer to her but then the weekend happen. So much drama. :[ We both did things that hurt each other and we both felt the same way like how all those other times before the weekend we spent talking and getting closer went out the window as a result of each other's actions. I went to talk to Kat because I'm stubborn and I hate to lose good friendships and I wanted to work things out with her. Atleast try to. Its okay if she ended up not liking me but atleast I explained myself and maybe I could hear her side too. Atleast I'd get closure of some sort. Boy was the talk emotional, waterworks. We talked for almost two hours and yeah I think we cleared up most of the problems. After talking we were still okay and that's great cuz we're still friends. I have never been in this type of major group of friends drama before. Man I gotta say it sucks ass. And because I'd been haning around all of them so much I felt closer to them. When I went to talk to Kat it was the first time I'd ever really tried to work things out and clear the problems. I didn't know what else to do, I didn't want to lose a friend and communication is the key. I'm really glad we had the talk.

Geez I hope I never have drama like this again. Ever. Drove me nuts... stressed the hell outta me and I don't know. It's just plain not good for your physical and mental health. It takes such a large emotional toll. Everyone and everything suffers as a result from it. I'm just glad that this has turned out better than I had expected. We're all recovering and its going in a good direction. We're all talking and still hanging out. Things are still a little awkward for me but its okay, still working on it. I'm just glad we're all still friends but we almost didn't make it. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right? So hopefully this major setback has strengthen all our friendships and bonds.

Oii I am so tired right now. No energy. I woulda wrote a lot more of this entry and I guess make it more meaningful but my brain is totally dying on me. So that's all for this entry. If I have more to add, it'll be later or on a diff entry.

2003-01-20T21:15:00.000-08:00

Monday night...

Geez lots of things happen within hours. Ever noticed that? Things can be up and down in seconds. So I'm back in Davis and the ride here was interesting. First Vi and Oanh picked me up but Nancy and her friend was in the car. I find out that Nancy is not talking to her roommate who is the friend in her car. I was like hmm.. it'd be hella weird sitting in that car. Geez this is definately the season of drama. Everyone I know is having drama too. I totally agree with what Vi says in her blog. Go check it out.

Anyway, OMG Oanh is sucha scary driver. She tried to change lanes but this car flew past her and she jerked back and this was only 15 mins into the drive back to Davis! I fear for my life haha. I swear! And then Oanh was driving 50pmh in the FASTEST lane on the free way. All these ppl kept passing by and glaring at us. AND THEN, this asian guy, I'm assuming Viet cuz we were still in the SJ vicinity, stuck his hand out and waved at us. OMG.. he was driving a dark green lexus and he kept trying to drive side by side with us! I was like DANG Vi he's trying to hit on you! She's like WHAT!? no way its Oanh. Hahaha but dude the guy kept like slowing down then speed up and then get in our lane and then go back to the other lane... crazy mofo.. Shiet. Every time we passed him Vi was like Don't LOOK!! haha funnie stuff. I kept playing with the beanie ducks Oanh had in the back of her car. They're so kute and soft n fuzzy. Too bad they're not chickens. About 15 mins before we got to Davis Oanh asks Vi, "Can you give me my glasses?" She puts them on and goes "Ahh much better" Omg.. hahaha no wonder she's sucha bad driver. Very scary.

Back at my dorm I unpacked, did like 3 chem problems, read for ASA. God.. so much drama its not even funnie. Hopefully one day when I look back I will smile.. but right now its very hard to smile. Things went from bad to worse... I found out that Jeff, Jess and Kat were/are? mad at me. Oiy... that stressed me a lot. I kept apologizing. Man I don't think I've ever said so many sorries as I did before. We all went to dinner to try to straighten things out. I hope they forgive me. I am truly sorry you guys. I never meant anything like that. Dinner went okay I guess. Man I felt like I was gonna burst into tears at first. Knowing me that's highly unusual. But they mean a great deal to me. I just hope we're all stronger and closer after this mess. After dinner we just went back to our respective dorms.

I'm also talking to Vi right now who has much drama in her life too. Housemate problems. I hope to god I won't have problems like her next year. Geez, they're doing stuff to each other... hiding Vi's books and doing other small sabatoging stuff. People these days. She called a house meeting so we'll see how that goes.

Anyway just want to say sorry to Kat, Jess and Jeff again. That's all for now.

2003-01-20T12:46:00.000-08:00

Hmm Monday morning. Gotta go back to Davis today. Joy...

I've been pretty angry these past few days and this weekend gave me sometime and distance to think about things. I'm still angry but its not that instant fiery sensation that makes me want to do irrational things. Well, I'll still get that way if I think about it long enough. I'm just so pissed off I'm in this situation. How did it get like this? I can't believe I've been sucked into this big ass drama. Hmm no telling when I'll get out either. Only time will tell.

Here are little snippets of songs on how I feel:

Bridges were burned, now it's your turn, to cry, cry me a river...

Can't find a good reason, can't find hope to believe in.. I feel so alone

You called me strong, you called me weak but still your secrets I will keep. You took for granted all the times I never let you down. You stumble again and bumped your head, if not for me then you'd be dead. I picked you up and put back you back on solid ground.

Never knew I could be so lonely...

I'm tired of arguing... Speak your heart, don't bite your tongue. What's your problem? Let's resolve it. We can solve this, what's the causes? It's official, you've got issues, I've got issues...Am I suppose to change, are you suppose to change? Who should but hurt? Who should be blamed...

No more drama in your life...if you got beef your problem not mine. Leave that B.S. outside

I'm running round in circles,meeting people I see everyday. There's no one left to talk to cuz I already know what they'll say. If only I could find the things I miss, there must be someplace where there's more to life than this

Yah, I'm still angry about everything. All these issues that have come up and the shit that entails it. Atleast some of the people who are involved have each other to lean on and talk to but I don't have that. This is the first major test in all of our friendships, but it could also be the last. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right? Well, we'll see how this goes. Thing's won't be the same for sure. I'm just trying to curb my anger. I don't want to be stubborn and let it ruin something that can be solved but...when I see it, it just all comes back to me. Just try to go with the flow...

I am so ready to give up on everyone. But deep down inside I know I don't want to. I'm still grasping at threads but... no one has shown me that they're trying to fix things too. Arg... FUCK THIS SHIT...We'll see how things go down when I'm back.

2003-01-19T20:40:00.000-08:00

Today, Sunday, I woke up early, did the rest of my laundry and then me, my mom and my sis went to watch Chicago! Yay! FINALLY. Geez louise, after all this time I've been wanting to see it and each time something came up and I finally got to watch it. :]! I really like the movie! I like most of the songs, dancing, etc. I just saw the results for the Golden Globes and Chicago won 3 awards, best actress & actor and best comedy/musical. Kewl. Too bad Catherine Zeta Jones didn't win. She's super kewl. So yah, watched that movie, then we went to buy banh mi (vietnamese sandwich). On the way home we stopped by Hanh's house so I could pick up her Chem book. My dad was watchingi the Eagles vs. Buckaneers game, I think I spelled that wrong, by yah. Bucs killed the Eagles. Then on to the Raider's game. I was hoping the Raiders would lose so I can rub it in Will's face but oh well. Maybe they'll lose the Super Bowl. If not then that's okay too hehe.

After I ate I had to read Chapter 3 in the Chem book. :P Sometimes I don't even know what they're talking about. They're explaining these calculations and I'm like hmm.... So yah I finished the chapter in about 2 and a half hours. :P I attempted to do chpt 2 problems but didn't know how so I'll wait till I get back to Davis and ask Jan or whoever for help.

I folded my laundry now I just have to put them in my basket and get ready to go back tomorrow. Hopefully things in Davis will be better, I'm tired of all the shit that's been going on. I'm not lookin forward to going back, the weather up there is crap and its a lot warmer down here in SJ. Atleast I see sunshine here. Oh, and I might go to the doctors tomorrow morning if I get an appt, my side has been hurting for quite sometime. If I don't, oh well. I'm not gonna die, atleast I dun think so heh heh... Once back in Davis I gotta do hw like crazy. Gotta read chapter 3 for Asa. Do my chem problems. Read the other thing for Asa but that's only if I'm getting the book from Hanh. Hanh's my supplier haha. Well, that's all.

2003-01-10T08:33:00.000-08:00

This post is finally finished. And its helllla long so be warned.

Good Morning!

Thursday was a looong day. Class at 7:30, which meant I had to be up at 6:40. Had an hour and 40 mins worth of lecture for chem. Then a little break, then an hour and 20 min ASA lecture. An hour in between and then I had to go to chem lab which was for 3 hours. Gosh it was sooo tiring. My lab partner... I'm not so sure how she is. She seemed reluctant to help so I suggested things for her to do n she did em. Well, as long as she does her part it should be okay. Hanh was suppose to be my partner! But the TA picked our partners for us! Whoever was sitting to you was ur partner. Man! Haha guess it solves our dilema. So yah while I was waiting for the bus to come take me home I turn to my right and BOOM, this chic on a bike totally ran into another chic who was WALKING! Haha man it was kinda funnie. But of course I didn't laugh right there. Uh oh time to catch the bus! I'll finish later...

Finally back. Hmm lets see what I can remember about Thursday. Not much apparently. Oh yeah I didn't want to do any hw cuz i was so tired from lab and stuff. I went to Amanda's to hang out for awhile. I went back to my place to pick up some presents and me n her went to Bobby's place cuz I was suppose to beat him up for not goin to class or something. So we hung out there for a long while just chatting and what not. Then we went over to Jeff's cuz I was suppose to beat him up too. Kat came over and so did
Ruth. Ruth and her friends went to dinner with us and we all hung out at the dc soaking in that nice wonderful smell.

Friday I can't remember what I did. I'm sure I did something. Oh yes, I took out the trash that had been piling up in our dorm. I was taking out the recyling when Jannie yelled that I forgot a box. I said toss it down. But this chic was walkin up the stairs so I said WAIT! But guess she didn't hear me cuz she threw it down and it nearly nailed the girl by an
inch. Haha man kinda scary funnie. Hmm, then I left again. Oh yah and on the bus from class to home, I carried this picture I had bought a few days ago and Loretta wanted to see it. It wa still in a bag so u couldn't really see the pic. she was like oh i can't see it and i was like thats cuz ur looking at the back. she flipped it over and she was like HEY!!
haha that was funnie. I just wanted to see how gullible she was. anyway yeah as i was saying, after the trash thing i went out again. Loretta asked me where I was going and i said out. and then she asked me the same question again and i said out. strange? yes. i honestly don't know why she wants to know where i'm going every time i leave the dorm. if i wanted people to know where i'm going i'll let them know. half of the time i
don't know where i'm goin anyway. So that day i went over to kat's dorm, i can't believe i walked over to the oxford area two days in a row just cuz. But yeah I was giving Kat her belated x-mas present. we sat and talked alot in her room. later on jeff came over when he was done with class so that was around 5 something. Talked some more. I was really sore from working out on Wednesday but it was just my left triceps that were hurting. I realized it was hurting because I had pulled that same muscle when I was at the airport in Maui. So my work out must have aggravated it. Kat was nice enuff to give me a massage. It helped a lot cuz before I couldn't raise my left arm very high. After the massage I could lift it a bit more easily.

So while Kat was givin me the massage Jan, Jess, Loretta came over and we all headed to dinner. Lauren also came over, she's gonna be one of my housemates next year. She seems pretty kewl, she's in my asa lecture and discussion. During dinner we talked some more. Geez wondering if our mouths got tired? Probably haha. Interesting stuff happened. After dinner Jannie and Loretta just left so we (Jess, Jeff, Kat, Lauren and myself) headed back to Kat's hung out, Kat took a shower got her stuff, went to Jeff's he got his stuff and we went back to my dorm cuz we were having a sleep over. Throughout the night Jess and Jeff wrestled, he flipped her over once, Loretta tried to get in on it but only succeeded in falling to the ground multiple times. We played Golden Eye, Smash Bros, Uno. By the time we went to sleep it was in the wee hours of the morning. We turned the heater off cuz it was giving off a funky smell. It was soooo freaking cold at nite. The ground was so hard. I woke up at like 8 and it was so cold, i tried to shift around to get comfy and warm but that didn't happen. So I just got up and went to my room and slept on my bed where I had real blankets. I slept pretty well till...11? something like that. That’s when everyone else got up and came into the room. I talked to Jeff for awhile as I played that stupidly addictive maddening bubble game jannie has on her comp. We left to eat brunch and came back to my place to get ready to go to the rec hall for some badminton. We all ended up talkin, playing golden eye, duck hunt, mario. Jeff was talking about decorating his room with these bugs his dad brought back and Kat totally got grossed out. It was HILARIOUS just the way she looked, her expression, she was totally spazzing out from the thought of it! hAHAHA She was kinda shakin too, its pretty funnie.

When we actually left, we piled into Amanda's car and she dropped us off at the MU first so I could run to the bookstore to buy a book for my asa class. Then off to the rec hall. When we got there we found out it was closed for Break the Record nite. STUPID. Ugh. So we went back to my place but I went to fix my bike and went to Amanda's place for a bit. Went back to my dorm and asked Loretta and Jannie if they wanted to go see Chicago.
I HELLLA wanted to see that movie. They wanted to come along so we went to go eat dinner at the dc first. Course we talked for awhile and soaked in more of that lovely dc smell. Jan and Loretta wanted to go back to the dorm first to shower. So the rest of us chilled at Kat's place. Okay I have to go to class now so I'll try to finished the rest of this today...

So I lied, I didn't finish it yesterday, I don't think I'll finish it in this installment either. I don't have a lot of time so its really choppy. Well, we were hanging out at Kat's place and talking about how we'd fit ppl into Amanda's car but we figured its pretty impossible to fit 8 ppl in her small corolla. So we just called the movie thing off. After that we were bored outta our minds. I was pretty disappointed we decided not to go watch it but its understandable. :[ I hella wanted to see that movie. We sat there just talking, Jess and Jeff were wrestling kinda. All we did was sit there and complain about how bored we were. Kat was talking to her friend online. Then a friend called Kat so she was talking to that person for a long while. Mmm there wasn't anyone who kat was talking to that I knew so I just changed her profile haha :] Cuz I know she loves me :] So yah more complaining and we were bugging Amanda to just go somewhere. She's like where? We're like oreo. Haha So that went on for awhile and we went back to complaining about bordem.... Sigh time to catch the bus.. SORRY this is taking sucha long time to write. I have tons to write and not much time. Heh hopefully I don't end up taking days and then forgetting the details. Catch yah later.

Back for the next installment. So yeah as you can see we were all very bored to tears and we finally decided to go downtown or something. So we ended up at Bath & Bodyworks where we perused the various lotions, smelly stuff, soaps, rubber duckies and facial masks. By the time we got there, it was kinda late already so most of the stores were closing. Then we went to Borders to wander around. I was walking with Jeff and I saw this girl sitting down at a table and I thought to myself hmm, that looks like Thuy... but nah it can't be cuz this is Davis and she goes to SJSU... no possible way. Then the girl waves at me. I'm like WTH it is her. So I go talk to her but she's mean hehe stupid little girl. After that I looked at different CDs and told Jeff to write down some of the names of the songs so we can dl. After Borders we wanted across the street where this lady came up to us and asked us for 50 cents. At first we all said no, but the lady told us she was waiting for her daughter but she's late and its been over an hour so she wanted to call her daughter to make sure she was okay or something. Hmm normally I wouldn't think twice but she had a good story, maybe its true that she was suppose to meet with her daughter maybe not, but just in case she was telling the truth, I didn't want her to worry so I just gave her 50 cents that I had in my pockets. If I had brought my cell I guess I woulda offered it to her n that determine if she was lying or not but oh well. She seemed kinda bummy but thats alright, 50 cents. Hopefully it did help her. So yah, thats my good samaritian deed for awhile. Off to Tapioca Express. I didn't order anything and we just
all sat there and talked for like.. 3 hours. Its kinda funnie, the store closed and we weren't aware but I noticed it was empty so I said we should leave. Good thing too cuz I think they were about to kick us out. Back we went to Kat's place. We dled Miss Congeniality and watched it. I love that movie. Its sucha good comedy. I can definately watch it multiple times and not get tired of it. So...2:30am Kat's phone rings but we dun pick it up cuz we're still watching. We're like who could it be anyway, its freakin 2 something in the morning. We just finish the movie and Kat's phone rings again, we're like wat the heck. So Kat picks it up and its Loretta. First thing she asks is.. where am I? What are we doing? When am I coming home? What time? Am I sleeping over? I'm like... I don't know. Honestly, its pissing me off that Loretta keeps asking me all those questions. Its really none of her business what I do. If I wanted people to know all that stuff I'd tell em. It's like she's keepin tabs on me. I dunno what's up with that and I'm gonna talk to her soon about it. And the excuse she uses for calling to check up on me is that she wants to "know when I'm coming home so she can turn off the lights." Dude, that is so not
cool. The lights have never been an issue in the dorm. No one ever cares about if the lights are on or not. They're always on anyway. If the sink lights are off, the hall lights are always on. She's like yeah I'm gonna turn them off then. I'm like go ahead.. I'm thinking, its not a big difference if they're on or off I'll find my way to my room. But just that whole light thing... The hallway light is always on and ugh. So yah, I just decided to stay at Kat's awhile longer. We talked some more and 4 something I left to go home. I woulda slept over but I had my contacts on and my retainers were in my dorm. I think for the first time ever, the dorm was completely dark. So yeah blah blah went to sleep. Woke up the next morning and waited for Amanda and Jess to get ready so we could all go to brunch.

As I was waiting I watched tv. The niners were gettin their asses whupped. Very sad very sad. I was talkin to Jeff and he went to go take a shower. All of a sudden he comes back n says he's bleedin and to come over right away. I was like WTH? I had to wait for Amanda n Jess though so I just got some bandaids and antiseptics to bring over. When we get over there, apparently Jeff's shower door fell down and shattered, and smart him,
wasn't wearing any flip flops in the shower, which is gross, and stepped in the glass which cut his feet. Wonderbar. So yah we made sure he was okay. Loretta was kinda impatient to go eat so we went to go eat. At breakfast it was kinda awkward. You could tell Loretta was pissed. But *shrugs* nothing I can do about it. Breakfast was yummilicious. French Toast baby! Mmm MMm. After breakfast we went outside, Loretta just walked on ahead all by ourselves. We just stood outside Emerson and talked. Me and Jannie were showing them the "Chicken Dance" :] Then we finally went home cuz we had so much freakin hw to do as a result of total procrastination over the weekend.

Dinner was good, can't remember what happened.

Next morning I was suppose to go at 8 to Allegre with Jeff. Mike came to pick us up. We got there early, when we were about to turn into Allegre we saw Loretta and Will walking from the bus that just dropped them off. We sat in the car cuz we thought the office was closed and I didn't want to wait in the cold. 15 mins later my phone rings and its Loretta. She's telling me about watever lease stuff and I get out of the car and walk
into the lounge where she's sitting. Needless to say she was suprised. I got the forms from the lady and signed the info n what not. I forgot my check book and was was gonna call Vi to ask her to write me a check. But Loretta had two checks on her. So she just wrote it. I didn't want her to cuz I didn't want to feel like I'd owe her anything. So we got a sure spot for Allegre.

Went home, went to work out with Jeff, went back to his place, then ate lunch, and then I went with him to math class. Freakin Jeff, kept nodding off in class. I had to keep poking him to keep him awake. Geeeeezzz. After that I madly biked home to catch my soap. HAHAHA.

Oh yah, btw, I didn't appreciate how Loretta kept trying to go and sign the whole Allegre thing under her name. I mean dude, I've been doing all the work from the start. I went earlier before Thanksgivin break to Allegre to put my name down on the waiting list. I talked to the lady, got info, received the call from her and all that stuff. The only REASON she knows about Allegre is me. If I hadn't told her that Allegre was starting
to lease on Monday she wouldn't have known. The least she could have done was let me take care of it. So anyway, I didn't want to owe her anything so I wrote a check to her that night minus her share of the $50 deposit. I hope she didn't cash the check yet cuz a problem came up and she owes me more money. But I'll explain that later on.
Monday night I went to my ASA discussion and finally met my TA. He's pretty funnie, He's freaking laid back and seems kinda unprepared. But watever. Hopefully he's easy. On the way home at the bus stop, I met this chic named Franchesca I think. I was like so where do you live? She's like "Oh I live in a corner." Haha I was like hmmm but she's like yeah my room in the corner of the dorm room in the corner of castilian north. I
was like Innnnterrresting. Haha So yah maybe I'll see her around again. But I forgot wat she looks like.

Tuesday, I can't remember what happened. Hm. I almost got runned over by a biker. Man that was SCARRRY. I was all stuck, I couldn't cross the street cuz all these bikers were coming. Scary stuff man I can't be a pedestrian in a biking world. I can be a pedestrian in a car world but.. bikers are harder to deal with. Anyway I ate lunch by myself. Went to dinner by myself, but Vietchi and Clarissa joined me. I hadn't seen them in the longest time! Vietchi's hilarious. I told her if she kept eating pizzas she'd die at age 30. She's like "so? You only live once eat all the pizzas u want. When I die atleast I can say Hahaha I ate more pizzas than YOU!" On tv, Jag was a repeat :[ disappointing. BUt OMG 24... was SOOOO FREAKIN GOOD. I cannot believe! Such Lies and Betrayal! Dude if you guys haven't watched the show yet you SHOULD. I LOVE IT!!!! But the next new episode isn't till Feb 4th! That's hella far away. :[ Its okay, I konw it'll be worth the wait. PSH how can anyone compare 24 with Smallville? Smallville sucks ass compared to 24.

Wednesday, yesterday I went to class. After that I went to work out. Feels good to work out, least I'm not veggitating. LOOK AT THESE GUNS!!! HAHAHA just playing. They're only sling shots for now. hahaha j/k. Went home, talked to my mom. Jeff imed me and asked me if I wanted to go eat lunch so I said sure. Walked over to ocdc. Wow did I mention it was sucha beautiful day? Clear skies, not a single cloud in it. Bright sunshine. The only thing missing was warmth. It was a little breezy which made it cold. Brr. But Yah I didn't mind walkin to ocdc cuz it'd be nice to take a stroll in the park to get there. Me and him were walking to the dc when Amanda comes biking by outta no where yellin at us. So she joins us for lunch. More blabbing. Will is sittin two tables down. WHAT a biter! He's wearin the same color t-shirt as I am. Shoot, trying to be like me. PULEAZZE. haha me and Amanda go up to Jeff's room. They both had class at 1 so I stayed on Jeff's comp for a bit >:] I watched my soap at 2. Finished reading chapter
2 for chem. Went to Kat's place to hang out. Me and her talked for a long time which was nice :] Kat's kewl. SCREW AMANDA. Shoooot.

Oi have to go to class... Almost done with this article! Check back later.

Okay back for the last and final installment of this epic article. We all went to dinner and I can't even remember what we did afterwards. That was so long ago. I'm sure we did something. But whatever. I think we hung out at Jess and Amanda's ahh yes that's it. Went back to my dorm. I had ‘taken’ Amanda’s watch with the intent of ransoming it. I told her so over the im. She came up to my dorm room and snuck up behind me trying to choke me. So yeah we got into a wrestling match. She tried to pry the watch from my hand but hah, didn’t work. She tried biting me but that didn’t work either cuz I bit her back. She’d dirty! She tried pulling my hair! I shoved her on Jannie’s bed. We both had each other in a headlock but I was on top and yea. Tina, Jasmine and Loretta came into the room while we were struggling about half on the bed. Some one asks who do u think is winning and I think Loretta said I was. Well of course I was. I had the upper hand. Muhaha I whooped your butt Amanda! What now? What now? So yah after that I just gave the watch back to Amanda. I showed her to the door where she tried to get some more of me by trying to twist my arm behind my back but that didn’t work either. Maybe next time. After she left I attempted to do hw. But then all this shit came up and I ended up talking online because of housing and other problems. I did very little hw and went to sleep at 12.

Thursday morning I got up early and went to my 7:30 am chem lec. It was so freaking cold, went back to Hanh and Dieu's. Tried to update my thoughts. Went to Asa. Asa is so freakin boring. The teacher is not interesting, I was really tired to from the night before. I kept closing my eyes and leaning my head forward. One time I opened my eyes and the teacher was lookin at me. Oops. So yah he let us out early.. thank god, I was so hungry I had hunger pains sitting there taking notes. Went to go eat lunch, then went to chem lab. It was the Nomenclature lab so it wasn't that bad. The TA said we could leave whenever so lots of ppl left but I stayed for 2 n a half hours to try to get as much done. It was like a race between me, Hanh and Dieu. Haha it was funnie. Hanh was hella ahead, I was in the middle and Dieu was behind me. Hanh's gonna do hella good in this class, she still remembers stuff. So I left and Kat wanted me to come to her place after my lab so I did. I pulled the cord for Castilian but I forgot I was going to Kat's place almost got off but I sat back down and got off at Oxford. Went to her room, she moved so I went to her new room, her roommate was there but Kat wasn't. I asked where Kat was and the chic said she was doing a Chinese skit so I was like hmm. I left n checked my v-mail. Jeff said to come to his place so I did. Jess was there and Ruth was sleeping on his bed. Ruth looks scary sleeping... her eyes are half open... I dunno...

Jeff let me have a frap which amanda gave him for x-mas haha. Thanks to u both! Jeff was working on his Engineering 6 program. Jess was sitting next to him bugging him. He finished so I sat down in his chair and played on his comp. Ruth woke up and I talked to her for a bit. Ruth's bro, James, was my prom date and we were talking about how he's sucha dork haha. Hmm so yeah Jeff then told me had something important to tell me... and that didn't go too well. I don't know how much I can write about it. But him, Kat and Loretta had a little talk and things didn't go to well. They brought up my problems with her and I did not appreciate that and I told him so. I mean what the hell, why are they bringing up my problems with her for. I know they had good intentions trying to bring it up but its really not their problem to bring up. They should have let me handle it on my own first. I asked Jeff not to talk to her before I did too but ugh. What they did and what he told me pissed the hell outta me. Man... I was sooo freaking angry. I just got my stuff and left his place. I was like shaking in anger as I walked back to Castilian. I tried taking deep breaths but my insides were quivering. I didn't go back to my dorm, I went to Amanda's cuz she was home and I wanted to watch my soap that Jess had taped for me. I walked in and her door was cracked open. She was half asleep on her bed. I sat there for awhile n then watched the tape after she got up. I didn't enjoy it as much cuz yah... I had my mind on a lot of things. She had to go watch a showing of the Tempest at 7 so we went to dinner together. French night was alright. I like their eclairs. Rice was good. Heh. Went back to Amanda's place to finish the tape. She left while I was still watching. After I was done I left their place. Went back to mine after calling Vi. I asked her to come pick me up cuz I couldn't stand being in the dorms. I went back to my dorm, took a shower, packed up some stuff and Vi came and I left. :[

When Vi came, I told her everything that had happened and stuff like that. We went to her place and talked. She's wonderful. She calmed me down and made me feel better, gave me some advice. I'm so glad she's my best friend. I love her lots. Just seeing her and being able to talk to her made me instantly feel better. But gosh... I was still so freaking angry about everything. I can't believe I'm in all this drama. She got a new laptop, which is kewl. Saves space. I used it to go online and talk to Kat. I had called off the meeting I was gonna have with my future housemates and yeah I was talking to her about how I did not like the fact that her and Jeff brought up my problems with Loretta. Mmm... the conversation was disappointing. I had hoped she'd say more but guess not. Jeff was also on but I didn't talk to him about it cuz I thought Kat was gonna send him the transcript of our convo but she said she wasn't going to. She'd let him know what we talked about but yeah. Oanh, Vi's cousin, who is also in Engineering 6 was having problems with her answers. So she asked me to ask Jeff what he'd gotten. So she ended up helping him fix his program and they both got the same answer. Finally we all went to sleep. I was telling them how I was scared to get runned over crossing their street to get on the bus the next morn but Vi said dun worry about it. Oanh snores really loud haha. Vi was warning me that she'd kick me in her sleep or something. Luckily that didn't happen. Vi snores too but not so loudly.

Next morn I woke up early and sat in their room for a bit, just thinking and waiting till it was time to leave to catch the bus. I left their apt at 7:30. The fog was so thick you could barely see ahead. I just followed ppl to the bus stop. On my way I found a dollar on the ground. So yah I followed this chic to the bus stop. Man I was hecka paranoid about getting runned over crossing the street. I was like okay I'll just go when this chic goes... and there was this car coming but she just started to cross. I was like whoa! The fog is thick so you can barely see the cars coming.. I just went with the chic too and the car slowed down. Whew... haha made it safely to the bus. Dayam it was packed! I had to stand. When I got on the bus driver was Vu, Hanh's bro. I was like hey wats up. I asked him if this was the W line and he said yah to Silo. I was like hmm, I thought it was going to the MU but its okay, I'll just walk. When he made a stop, he stopped to close to this one car and he was "shit" took him awhile to get out but he did it. And he barely missed the car by mere inches. Then as he was turning on to campus... he made too wide of a turn and was stuck again in front of a lamp post. Sad sad sad. He radioed in that he was stuck. Then ppl just got off the bus and walked. Man I felt hella bad for him. I'd hate to be stuck in his position. The bus was almost perpendicular to the lamp post like this: T So yeah bummer I dunno how he got out of it. I got out to walk to my class. At first I had no clue where I was. I just started walking... the fog made it so difficult to see. After awhile I finally made out a building and it was Olson. So then I knew where I was. Walked to the book store to check on the ASA book but it wasn't there then to class and told Hanh about her bro's predicament.

After math lec, I went home, ate breakfast, went back and started to pack my things up to go home. I checked my email and found out my chem discussion was cancelled so I just chilled in my room. Amanda called me up and asked me to go see Sorrento with her and Jeff. I went with them to check it out and got some info. Went back home did some calculations on the sizes of the rooms. Then I had a talk with Loretta. I told her I knew about the talk she had with Jeff and Kat. I told her about my problems with her and she told me stuff. We cleared some stuff up but there are still some things to be worked out. She explained why she was asking all those questions about my whereabouts, etc. She also told me her parents are pissed over how all of us broke into her room the other time after break. And she only told her parents that I did it, which makes me really mad. Cuz I wasn't the only one involved and to try to pin it on me, makes me look like the only bad guy. Her parents, I'm sure do not like me after this, which I could care less about but I want her to get it straight and tell her parents everything. I also want those involved to step up and take responsibility for their parts in it. I want them to go and talk to her parents cuz they're all going back to Castro Valley. So hopefully they talked to Loretta's parents and Loretta sets them straight. Honestly, I don't know how I'd react if her parents talked to me. I'd probably be a little hostile. After talking with Vi, she said I should be calm and stuff. But I dunno.. I was still pretty pissed off. Good thing Vi came and picked me up to go home before her parents came. I'm not scared to talk to them, I just didn't want to talk to them when I was still that angry. I might just make things more worse but who cares? I also didn't want to have to talk to them before Loretta tells them what had really happened. Sigh, so this weekend, hopefully things will be set straight and we'll all be more rested. I'm waiting to see if everyone does their part. Everyone's actions will speak for themselves and I'll see who my true friends are. If not then I'll know and it'll be over.

After Vi picked me up we went to Brian Do's apt. Oanh was there sending in her program. At first Vi thought his apt number was 211, we knocked and rang the doorbell but this chic came out and we're like uh.... does Brian live here? She's like no.. hahaha whoopsies... Vi called her cousin and asked for the number again. It was 221! I said hi to Brian and Oanh finished up then we left. Vi has hella housemate problems and they got worst. Vi found out her housemates hid her books that she had ordered from Amazon.com. She was waiting for them to come back to confront them about it but she had to go to class. Her and her cousin are hella pissed about it, shoot I'd be too. So I kinda took a nap on the way back home. My eyes were closed but my mind was racing. I opened my eyes and we were on the 680/101 overpass. Damn it was so beautiful outside. Clear skies for miles and the nice warm shining sun. It was 70 degrees outside. Shoot compare that to the crappy ass weather in Davis... 40 degrees and you can't even see 100 ft in front of you. I love San Jose. My one true home. When I came home my dad was washing the car outside. I went inside and couldn't find my mom anywhere. I spotted her walking outside past the front door. I opened the door and suprised her. Apparently she was out there cuz my dad had locked her out by accident haha. My mom made these pastry thingies which I ate and some fried rice. I was starving. Then I went outside just to stand in the sun and enjoy it before it went down. Man it felt so nice to feel the sun on my face and just to simply enjoy nature. Especially all the stress I was going through back in Davis. It felt so nice just to stand there, do nothing and enjoy the simple pleasures. After a long while I went inside.

I was suppose to go watch Chicago today, Saturday, with my mom but we ended up not. And I didn't do anything. I did finish reading chapter 2 for Asa. Gotta start on 3 soon. Tomorrow hopefully I'll watch Chicago with my mom. Get the chem book from Hanh. Just out of spite, I hope the Raiders lose haha. Just so I can tease Will. But thats okay if they win. Atleast they're from the bay area.

And that concludes this epic article.

BTW whatever I post in my thoughts are meant for me, if anyone is offended by what I write, that's just too damn bad. Don't read it if you get upset by it. And don't go running to me saying blah blah you wrote this n that. You're not gonna get a warm reception if you do.

2003-01-08T08:37:00.000-08:00

Monday nite me n my suitemates were just chilling in the living room and so we started playing Golden Eye. Loretta had a slow start cuz she never played before but it was kinda funnie. Of course she got murdered, many times over and Amanda showed up and she started playing too. Ack freakin amanda that mofo, she was pissin me off in the game. KILL HER!!! Vi also came by but only to drop off my present. Wow I love it! She gave me a cd player radio alarm clock. Just what I wanted! Thanks Vi! I gave her her present too. After Golden eye we just went to bed early cuz me jan and loretta had 7:30 classes the next morn. Boo.

Tuesday morn I woke up at 6:15, the cd player almost lulled me back asleep haha tricky tricky. Gosh it was way too early. I usually eat my breakfast first and then brush teeth. But my brain wasn't functioning, i brushed and then ate loretta's cake. Mmm..bussed off to Chem class. The teacher is Russian, I kinda like his accent but he stutters alot. And he goes super fast. Not good. This one chic from my english class last quarter is in my chem class. I went to sit down and when I looked up, I saw Will too.

After Chem, went to the bike barn with Hanh and Dieu cuz they needed stuff. Then went to the Silo with Hanh where we ate n sat for a long while. Walked to ASA. GEez, I found out the professor i was suppose to have died some time late last year... maybe over the winter break. SADNESS. My gosh. So now an assistant to a professor is teaching it. I dun think he knoes what he's doing which makes me frown. He's weird. He's like holler at me answers. I'm like... RIIIIIGHT. I saw Jannie's friend in that class and another chic from my english class.

Then ate lunch n went back the dorm. Read a little for chem. Not much though haha.

Class again at 7pm. Math discussion. I got out at 8 but I had to wait in the FREAKING COLD for 45 mins for the bus to come. I saw Vi's cousin Oanh but I didn't know it was her. I was like hmm looks like her but not sure. She was sitting across from me at the bus stop on the other side of the street. But I talked to Vi later on at nite and found out it was her. Okay I have to stop cuz I have to go catch the bus now. Bbl to finish.

Back again! I am so proud of myself, I went to math class and then I went to work out! I got my lazy ass to the rec hall to work out. First time this year. :] On the way there we stopped by the book store but didn't actually go in, a picture caught my attention but it was like 40 bucks. it was really nice though and all big. The guy said there's a smaller version for it. Hanh already bought a pic and I borrowed money from her to buy it and it was 7 bucks. Kewlies. Its so purdy. Finally! Something to decorate our plain boring living room besides the mess in it. :]! So yah worked out for about an hour, ran a mile, weights, machines n more weights.

Back in the dorm, and I just found out something that hanh told me yesterday is a BIG FAT LIE. ah! that mofo's gonna die. I'm gonna kill her. So yah. If there's more things that happen today that stands out, i'll update. BTW, last night's episode of 24 WAS HELLLLLA TIGHT. OMG that was so freakin intense. I LOVE IT.

On Friday I used my ATM card for the first time EVER! Muhaha turns out its very easy to use the atm machine. HAHA. I was all nervous cuz I didn't know how to use it, I dragged my mom with me just incase. I went to Albertsons to shop for groceries but the store was stinky! I dunno why but it had this funky smell to it. I think I saw Kevin when I was in the parking lot. I saw Ken with his mom shopping there. Last time I saw Ken, we were both grocery shopping with our moms too haha. I bought a Vietnamese sandwich from Lee's Sandwich on white & aborn. GROSS. They do not make it good. If you get a Vietnamese sandwich, get it at Huong Lan or something, dun get it at that store. Yuck. I'm never buying it there again. At 4ish Clare called me up n said she was coming by to visit n drop off a x-mas present. We sat and talked for a long time which was nice since I hadn't seen her in forever. Then Aileen dropped by! Miss Aileen Tran got a new car! Niiiice. A white Solara. So she came in and we all talked and they left around 5:30. I ate dinner and then my dad took be back up to Davis.

It took me about an hour to unpacked. Jeff, Jess, Amanda and Kat came over to hang out. I brought up Golden Eye and Starfox to play on the N64. Me and Amanda went on a murderfest against each other. Then played Starfox. Then we were all bored. Someone had the great idea of trying to break into Loretta's room haha. First Amanda tried to pick her lock with a bobbypin but that didn't work. I busted out with a paperclip and jiggled it a bit and whaddya know... I popped the lock and broke into her room haha. We were all amazed that the lock popped so easily. So we went about "re-decorating and re-arranging" her room. It was pretty fun. We flipped her bed covers, took all of the left shoes, moved her clothes to the other side of the closet, moved her trash, hid her gloves, you know... stuff hahaha. While we were in the midst of doing all this the lights suddenly went out. At first I was like oh CRAP! Loretta's back and she caught us! But no, there was a power outage and all of Davis was dark. It was pretty kewl. We took out flashlights and Amanda brought up her candles and her "flame thrower" (lighter) which is prohibited cuz we're not suppose to have anything flame related but hey, gotta be prepared! haha. We hung out in the living for awhile n then went back to Loretta's room for more fun. We ended up playing truth or dare but it wasn't all that great. Some ppl were reluctant to do anything so... it wasn't that lively. But I got some pretty interesting answers ;] We stayed for awhile then Jeff n Kat left. Then Jess n Amanda followed. Good job me, I spilled wax on the floor when I tried rushing the candle outside cuz Amanda blew out the flame n forgot to do it outside cuz of the smoke detector. We went to sleep, it was sooo cold!

Next morning I woke up around 11:30 and I was dawling about when Jannie yells LORETTA'S BACK. I was like holy cow, we rushed to take a pic and then we closed her door cuz we didn't close it the nite before. When she came back she was like WHAT THE. Haha it was kinda funnie. But she wasn't too happy. Her dad seemed kinda upset.
When I was walking out to breakfast I heard a crack and then I saw this car's window just crack and shatter. It fell onto the floor. Dude that was hecka sad. I thought someone broke it but it just shattered by itself. Maybe it was the weather or something? So yah breakfast was good, waffles, tator tots, eggs.

We went back to my place, more golden eye. Jeff took my bike down. Me n Jan went to the bookstore but we stopped by Hanh and Dieu's first so I could drop off their presents. Bookstore was hot and crowded. Went to Dutton but it was closed. Back to my dorm. Went to Jess n Amanda's. Went home, took a shower, ate dinner and hung out some more at my place. We played a quick game of truth or dare, but still not too exciting. Then ALIAS!!! Yah baby. Fun stuff. Then we hung out and did random stuff. Another of Loretta's fren came over, Mike.

Today was first day of the winter quarter, joy. My first class was math. My teacher explains really slowly which is good. I hope he's not hard. My next class isn't till 5. Yuck. Okay well that's all for now toodles.

2003-01-01T16:17:00.000-08:00

Yesterday's New Years party was fun! I got there and helped set up some food n then we started playing Uno. I hadn't played that game in the longest freakin time. More n more ppl joined in. I saw Hoan, Annie, Bonnie and John Ta! I didn't expect them to be at the party but kewl! They started playing. Oh man it was hilarious, Bonnie sat next to Jannie and Jan kept making Bonnie draw cards. Bonnie was determined to win sitting next to Jan. She was also spying on Jan's card. Jannie had uno and Bonnie yelled its a DARK color card don't put a dark color down! Ends up Jannie had a yellow card... so much for it being a DARK colored card haha. So Uno went on for quite awhile and I helped Bonnie and she finally won. STUPID ANH, she BIT me. GRRR she said she was gonna bite me and I was like watever, she as mad at me for some reason and when she said bite, I didn't think BITE BITE, but she bit me hella hard! Daannng that hurted! She left a mark on my arm. I spent the rest of the nite trying to bite her back. I kinda got her. But it wasn't as hard as I wanted. She tried to bite me again before she left but I knocked her on her butt hahaha.

Hmm Neal n Sarah made fruit punch with canned fruits like pineapples, mandrin oranges, fruit cocktail. Yummy. Except it was kinda hard to eat the fruit after u drink the punch haha. The fruit was stuck at the bottom of the cup and u had to keep tapping the cup to make the fruits fall. Sarah brought some spirits and pepsi. If you chase it, it's better than mixed. Annie was funnie. We were playing smash bros and she's like okay I'm gonna go shoot now. Made it sound like she was on smack or something hahaha. But that's not wat she meant. Least I hope not haha. There lots of food, Junk food. Chips, Dip, cookies, fried rice, tortias <-- i dun think i spelled that right, with meat, salsa, and pizza.

We busted out with the sparkling cider near midnite n watched the ball drop. It was funnie cuz we tuned in the last two mins n we were frantically flipping back n forth on the channels trying to find the frisco count down. We counted down, cheered, drank, and hugged. We were also flipping the channels and we watched this New Years thing in Las Vegas with Ryan Seacrest, that dude from American Idol. There were these guys in suits and they started stripping! Haha we're all watching it but the 'strip' wasn't that good. They had smiley face boxers on. Wilfred said he could do better. Fun stuff. Jen Long gave Ant this calendar called "Women of the East" haha it was pretty funnie. We're all looking at it n seeing which chic was pretty or not. Some were, some weren't. Then we started taking group pics and we got to pose with the calendar once or twice haha.

Thuy Le wanted to gamble so we gambled. I had 50 cents and I lost it! GEEZ. Stupid Peter and Brian Le won like 7 Bucks worth of quarters haha. Laundry money!

Wow got kissed by two girls! Haha Aileen and Annie! Annie's was very random hehe. And of course I kissed them back but Aileen go more than one kiss. :]

So we huung out some more and I played Uno again with Robin, Jolyn & Maria till we started to get up to leave. So thats all!

Happy New Year Everyone!

2002-12-31T16:08:00.000-08:00

I'm back from Hawaii and I did run into Kat. But it was really by accident hehe. I was walking home from the beach when I looked to my right and I saw Kat walking with her family. I yelled Kat! a few times before she finally turned around. It was kewl. I asked her if she could hang but she was really busy with her family so its koo. On X-mas eve I spent my entire day at the airport. Man you know you're early when the Starbucks hasn't opened yet. Anyway couldn't catch a flight to Hawaii then cuz the planes were over booked. Bummer. Tried again on X-mas there were even more overbooking so we hopped on a flight to Maui. It was nice, sat first class and got fattened up with the ice cream and whipped cream haha. They showed Blue Crush as the in flight movie. Then once in Maui we hopped on another flight to Honolulu. Man that was the first time I'd ever connected flights. Crazy. Finally got to the hotel and I was totally wiped out. Tired so we just went to bed. My mom wanted to go walk around but :P hehe

Next day we got up n went to the beach. The water was soooo freakin cold. I wasn't planning on going in the water just waded ankle deep. I walked along the rocks and this big wave splashes up and gets me wet.... greeeaat so I figured since I was already wet might as well get in the water. I swam for a bit but I still had goosebumps. Brrr. Then later we went up n left, thats when I saw Kat. We went home and showered then got ready to go to the Ala Moana mall. It was the day after x-mas so the mall was PACKED. Crazzy, man Japanese ppl really go all out when shopping in Hawaii. It was kinda funnie I saw this couple, the boyfriend is holding two arm full's worth of bags. Coach, Gucci, Prada, Armani, etc. I though sheesh they REALLY went shopping. He was kinda following her around as she shopped but I'm sure he got some stuff too.

Went home, ate dinner, went back to the beach to walk n sit to enjoy the evening. We also went to the International Marketplace which is always fun. We were walking around and this Japanese lady was eating an ice cream. When she passed us her ice cream just plopped off her cone and onto the street. It was kinda funnie but sad haha.

Next morining went to the beach again. It took me forever to wade and get my body in the water. Its sooooo freakin cold. Swam till it got cloudy n then went up. My sis went back to the Ala Moana mall by herself while I chilled with my mom on the beach. We left to go to McD's to get ice cream. Whooo fattening. Then went back to the hotel. We pretty much just idled around in the hotel. I was super sleepy for some reason but I didn't sleep. At nite we went out to get dinner and walked around a bit more went home n packed.

Next day went to the airport n flew home. Geeez hella turbulance because of the storm moving towards Cali. Very bumpy ride but I managed to catch some Zz's. Turbulance is kinda fun cuz it makes the plane ride more interesting. Its not a flat ride where you just sit there. Because of the storm the tv wasn't getting reception so they played two movies. The first one was called Off Season and then they played Blue Crush again. We touched down at SFO and the weather was horrible. Yuck yuck, rain and very dreary. My dad came n picked us up and home we went.

Sunday I spent most of the day wrapping gifts. While I was doing that Peter calls me up and asks me if I wanted to go laser tagging. I told him sure and later on that nite we went laser tagging with Thuy Le, Justin, Brian Le, Wendy, Tina, Tina's bro, Peter, Peter's 2 bros and sis. It was pretty fun. My code name was Ice and I was very trigger happy haha. I pulled my trigger 1282 times. Stupid Justin and Brian. They were suppose to be on our team but they kept shooting us anyway. Bastards. Justin was Yoda, Thuy was Gizmo, Wendy was Jinks, Peter was someone I forgot. Hehe So yah we all shot each other at one or two or three points during the game haha :] That was the first time I ever went Laser tagging. 10 bucks for half an hours worth of playing time. Blah not worth it though, it goes by so fast. I totally ran into a wall getting away from someone shooting at me.

Monday I didn't do much, just stayed at home.

Tuesday is today and I haven't done anything today. Tonite there's party at Ant's and I'm going to that. Maria is having a party too but her place is in hayward n its kinda far away. So Ant's it is. We'll see how that goes. Hopefully it'll be fun n stuff if you know what I mean ;] j/p

2002-12-23T13:02:00.000-08:00

So its been like what, two weeks since I’ve updated? Seems like I update when I’m at home. Its winter break now so hopefully I’ll be updating more often.

Starting the Thanskgiving weekend, Saturday, Jen Long picked me up and we went to Wilfred’s house cuz they were gonna watch the Ring. I already saw it on Halloween but I had nothing better to do so might as well. When I came I saw Larry and Thuy Le! Met this guy, I forgot his name but he was really cute and he looked like Alan Le, except nicer. Soon all these people arrived, Anthony, Sarah, Maria, Jen Hernandez, Anh, Peter, Neal, Hieu, Trinh and Aileen. Yep, we watched the Ring, freakin Anh and Sarah were hilarious cuz they’re terrified of scary movies. Trinh brought over this “juice” which she made up and we tried it. It tasted alright, interesting I guess. We all talked, had fun, ate, watched the Anna Nicole Smith show and the Man Show haha. It was pretty funnie, then we started taking pics. Oh man, we’re all so scandalous. I have one pic with Sarah if you wanna see it then im me and I’ll send it to u. Until I figure out how to put pics up on a site, guess they can’t be seen. Plus I didn’t have my camera so I have to get ppl to send me the pics. Yah.. lots of butt pics. FREAKIN Wilfred tried to get in all the shots, mooning his fish pj pants in the background. Hieu too!

So it got kinda late and Wilfred kicked us out haha, Hieu was taking me home and Sarah was driving behind us. We were at a stop light and I was like it’d be fun if I scared Sarah while she’s in her car. So I got out of the car ran and jumped on the hood of her car. She started honking at me haha I laughed but I banged my knee on her bumper when I slid down n went back to Hieu’s car. Sarah tried to get in front of us but Hieu sped up n wouldn’t let her.

Next morn I dun remember what I did but Brian was suppose to pick me up to go back to Davis around 6 but he kept getting delayed and ended up picking me up at 7 something. While I was waiting Jannie called m up and was like.. when are u coming back? You ARE coming back to davis right? I heard all these ppl in the background too and she told me all our friends were over hanging out. Haha that was funnie. I said yah I’m coming back. Brian finally came. Oh man I was like nooooo gotta get back by 9 so I can watch Alias. Haha I called Amanda to tell her to record it just in case I was late. Brian was all teasing me like OH wat drive slower? :P

Made it back to Davis with 15 mins to spare before Alias! Haha I walk in and its like whoa party or something going on. Hella heads in the living room haha and there was this chic I didn’t even know there. We all watch Alias and then I bust out the N64 that my neighbor let me borrow. MARIO KART!!! Oh man got ppl hella addicted to it. Hahah we were hecka playing it. It was bad cuz week before finals n all. Its all good, it’s a ‘stress reliever’ haha. And the best part is that I got Kat, who claims she never played video games before, to play Mario kart! Muhaha.

I can’t remember much of what happened in between then and now. I started working out more. Jeff showed me how to work the machines. I got Hanh and Dieu to go to the rec hall with me! But Hanh wouldn’t go anymore, that lazy butt and I got Dieu to go twice. Fun stuff.
On the Friday before finals, I took Loretta, Jeff, the Wills, Kat and Jan to check out Vi’s place. She lives in Allegre and we all want to live there next year and I showed them the interior. We hung out at Vi’s for awhile, and she made me this yummy drink, a concoction she made up with different stuff. I wanted to talk to Vi and they wanted to go back so they headed back first while I stayed behind to talk to her. It was nice. I talked to Oanh, Vi’s cousin and then we went to exercise a bit haha.

Vi dropped me off at my dorm and when I walked in, Loretta’s hurrying me to my room, as I walk by I saw presents. I was like ooh cool. I walk into my room and there’s this bag and a shoe with candy canes. It was very sweet of Kat and Jeff to give me presents. Kat gave me the shoe with the candy and Jeff got me this beanie chicken along with a box of candy. Its funnie cuz I already have the beanie chicken, Tina gave it to me during senior year but its koo. I’ll just name the chicken tina gave me ‘Tina’ and the one jeff gave me ‘Jeff’. Haha. Then Loretta started cutting Jeff’s hair. Man wat a mess. Hair everywhere! You would think a guy has less hair but no. So yah that was interesting. I’ll have pics up as soon as I get the pics loaded and on to a web page. It was pretty funnie, Jeff was super paranoid about his hair. Jess and Amanda came over around 11 from the Sum 41 concert n hung out. Then they left after their pizza arrived haha.

Next day, we went to Applebee’s for dinner. It was kewl, food, friends, fun. I had to work on my program so they dropped me back at the dorm n then headed to the M.U. for bowling. I heard lots of stuff went on but its all good. I headed to Bobby’s where he helped me fix some mistakes. Then I just stayed there and hung out with him. We went to visit Avi, who was watching the Man Show. It was funnie cuz he was squirmy watching it while I was there. Guess he felt uncomfortable with a girl there watching it with him haha. Then Bobby took me to another dorm room to meet his friends. They’re girls and he told me he hung out there all the time. I met some of the girls. They seem pretty kewl, I’ll visit them with Bobby again some other time. There was another guy there, Robert, who like Bobby, is at their place all the time. Around past midnight I biked back to my place. I came back and the rest of them were in my living room hanging out. Jeff brought over a movie. We watched My Sassy Girl. Man that movie is like… violent hahah. The chic hella beats up the guy n stuff. Even I’m not that bad. It’s a nice movie I suppose.

Finals week sucked ass. I had a final every single day of the week except Monday. Tuesday was my first final, ECS, I thought I did okay on it but heh… apparently not. I’ll go more into that later on. While I was trying to study for ECS, I was talking to Will online and he had his web cam thingie on. I was like you're boring to watch... go do something interesting! I told him to strip and take off his shirt and he did! Haha Whoo nice body Will :] So that distracted me for a little bit n we had more 'interesting' conversations after that but I had to get back to studying.

Wednesday was my Humanities final. It was pretty funnie, Professor Blanchard was late and so the TA started us off n said we couldn’t talk but we could use our notes. Then the professor walks in n says yah we can talk, but then he’s like oh Roy (TA) said you can’t talk? Better listen to Roy. After he passes out the prompt he announces he doesn’t believe in proctoring the Finals so he leaves. Roy stays behind for 10 more mins n then leaves too. So there’s no one proctoring the exams! Hahah man it was interesting to say the least. Of course some ppl talk. But the final for humanities isn’t that hard so… This chic to the right of me was hella annoying, she left early, thank goodness, I dunno how she did on her final but she left half an hour after the final started so I doubt she did well. The girl on my left was kinda annoying me too! She kept going hey blah blah and would ask me stuff. I just told her yeah or no. Roy came back near the end of the final to collect the finals n that was it.

Thursday was my English final. Ugh, I was hecka scared of that final. I was hyperventilating and I dunno, it was bad. The final wasn’t as bad as I had anticipated but I didn’t have one of the passages that I had to write on so it was kinda messed up. My ENG final was bull shit. The last day of class the teacher explains how the final is gonna be. She says we will be able to use our notes to copy down passages of the fiction we read that we think is pertinent to the final. However, she will not give us the passages on the final itself. All we will get on the day of the final is the prompt. If you don’t copy down the right passages, then you’re screwed. YEP. So I didn’t copy down one of the right passages so I got screwed on that. After the ENG final I went to Hanh and Dieu’s to study for math. Man.. it was sad, I didn’t know how to do math. Sucks. I spent a long time at their place then biked home before it got completely dark. I visited Amanda and Jess for awhile and Kat was there. Then Jannie and Tina came over for dinner.

Friday morning it was raining and I had to bike to campus so I could eat breakfast with Hanh and Dieu. One hand was on the handle bar while the other was holding an umbrella as I biked, it was windy and miserably cold. It was hella hard biking up the hill when I came outta the tunnel. I bet I looked retarded but oh well. I was scared about the math final too. I wasn’t doing to well in math and the final would make or break my grade. If I failed the final, I fail the class :T We went to the bookstore n then to the room to take the final. I fucked up on the final. Man.. there was this volume problem and I only got a little bit of it. And I couldn’t do the rest. As soon as I handed the problem in I realized how I could have done it. Fuck. It was a 30 pt question too. I answered all of the other questions I THINK. The ones I didn’t know how to do I just did anything and hoped I got it right. Sigh.

I’m so proud of myself, I went to work out after my ECS and HUM final but not after the other two bummer! The Eng final was too late in the afternoon and I had to study for math after that and I had no time after the MATH final.

After I got outta the final I biked back to Castilian and I noticed something. Was it just the guys that I saw were stupid or what? The few ppl I saw biking were guys and they were just biking with no hood or umbrella or anything just being soaked as the rode to school. With one exception, I saw a girl biking and she was smart like me n had an umbrella to cover her a bit. Anyway, home I went and Hieu was there waiting for me. Hieu was very nice and came up from San Jose to pick me up n take me home. I packed while me n him talked and he help me extend my desk. We weren’t gonna wait till Jannie got back from her final so we left. About 10-15 mins away from Davis, Hieu remembered that he forgot to bring the bikes up. I was like crap better turn back. So we went back and I hauled my bike up to the 3rd floor to my dorm room while Hieu carried Jannie’s bike. As we made our way outta the building we ran into Jannie who came back from her final and so we ended up taking her home too. Man traffic home was really bad. It took us over 2 hours just to reach home. Normally it takes only an hour n a half. It was hella raining and yuck, it turned completely dark too.

When I got home I snuck into the house n surprised my parents. They thought I was coming home a week later but nope. I gave my sister the UCD sweatshirt I bought her earlier in the day.

Next day I woke up ugh my dad was lecturing me. Geez he kept freaking lecturing me the whole god damn day. Even when we went shopping he was fuckin lecturing me. It made me hella mad but I couldn’t do anything but just take it. I didn’t buy anything when we went shopping so that was a waste.

Sunday not much happened. I watched Alias and man that episode totally rocked! I love Sydney’s mom! She’s super cool. Syd’s cool too and those two had a touching moment.

Monday I got into a fight with my mom and it was ugly… :’[

Tuesday I went to my high school to visit teachers. It was really nice, gave lots of talks to classes, answered questions about college. I talked a lot to Mr. Zellner and Ms. Voss. Ms. Voss ROCKS! She’s sooooo super cool. I totally miss her. I went to visit Mrs. Nunes (my badminton coach) but NoOooo she wasn’t there. She went to some meeting. EVERY freakin single time I visit, Mrs. Nunes is not there. Freakin A! After that I went to get Banh Mi (Vietnamese sandwich) with Elaine, Jen Long, and Jannie. We went to Justin’s house to visit him for a bit n then I went home.

Wednesday I went with Elaine really quick to look for some potential X-mas gifts but I only bought one thing. Pretty sad.

Thursday I was bored so I baked mint cookies! I thought they were okay but apparently many ppl like them.

Friday I went to Valley Fair with my dad and I got boots for myself. Geez Musta looked at a million boots before I got mine. Then at nite I got all dressed up, I wore a skirt *GASP* (that’s only cuz I couldn’t find my freaking black slacks) and my turtle neck n a jacket and went to Elaine’s. Elaine got ready and Tina was there. Tina gave me a nice black jacket. Thanks Tina! Then off we went to Anthony’s, where we’re all suppose to meet up. Everyone looked nice, we all got really dressed up. We were going to a ‘secret’ location for dinner and stuff. Everyone was suppose to be there by 6:30 but hah.. right. In the mean time we all hung out, took lots of pics (which I will post once I get them and load them onto a site). There were hella heads there. Maria, Sarah, Neal, Aileen, Trinh, Larry, Anthony, Wilfred, Tina, Elaine, Jen Long, Hieu, Hanh, Peter and Thuy. We FINALLY left the house at 7:30 and went on our way to our secret location. Turns out it was Applebees, and we waited half an hour before we got our table.

Dinner was good, more pics. FREAKIN Maria, I was sharing a steak with her and I’m cutting my own pieces and she’s just sitting there. Finally she goes Kiiiim you’re not cutting them for me. I was like WHAT THE HECK. I was like shoot you can cut your own damn steak. Haha so she picks up the knife and attempts to cut the steak. PATHETIC! Haha it was so sad watching her try to cut it. So I took pity on her and said FINE I’ll cut it for you. I had to cut all these pieces for her. My gosh Maria! Learn how to cut your own damn steak! Then we headed back to Anthony’s house to hang out around 10 something. Hieu took out this truth or dare Jenga game. It was pretty interesting. HA Ha… lucky me, I got a dare and I had to spin 10 times really fast. Omg the worst thing I could get. I get dizzy super easily. I was on my 7th spin when I totally lost my balance and fell haha. Man that was not cool. I was dizzy for the rest of the night and didn’t feel to well. Wilfred had to impersonate a belly dancer, which I thought he did very well. Aileen had to down four glasses of water, I forgot who had to blow a raspberry on Larry’s stomach but I know it was a guy. Larry kissed Thuy’s foot. Elaine kissed Aileen. Yeah fun stuff. Then I had to leave so I went home. Man I was totally not feeling cool from the spinning.

Saturday morning I was still feeling the effects from the spinning. I went to Costco with my rents. Elaine said she’d pick me up n we’d go shopping. Kat(thrine Cagat) came up from Monterey to visit! So I stood outside of Costco waitin for her to pick me up. OMG. I waited over half an hour out there for her. She calls me up n says she’s having some problems and she has to pick me up later. I pass the time talking to ppl on my phone but yeah…. That was not cool waiting out there. But I understand why Elaine was delayed. She finally came and Kat was there! She’s kewl, hasn’t changed much. She still cracks me up. I went home and then Sarah comes and picks me up. We go to Elaine’s to visit Kat. We hang out there for a bit and eat Vietnamese sandwiches which Elaine’s mom gave us. Maria was also there. Me, Sarah and Maria left and went to Valley Fair cuz I needed to buy this shirt I hella wanted. DAMN. Valley Fair was so fuckin packed. They had police officers directing traffic. Sarah was yellin at ppl haha. Funnie stuff. I finally get my shirt, Maria n Sarah get their food and we head to Mercado to get LOTR tix for the 8pm showing. Sarah yells are more ppl while we’re trying to find parking haha. We here this cool song on the radio, the chorus goes something like “Oh baby you want me? Well you can get this lap dance hea fo free.” Haha good stuff, Maria wants to put that as her voice mail msg. So yah we buy tix and I see Ms. Ly!!! Wow I hadn’t seen or talked to her in the LONGEST time ever. She’s so cool. She was my assistant badminton coach. I talked to her a bit. Sarah despises her haha. It was nice chatting with her, she also went to Valley Fair and she was waiting in line to see LOTR but for a different showing. We left and I went home. I got home around almost 6. I ate dinner, did some stuff and then Sarah came n picked me up at 6:30. Freakin Trinh, tried to go get me but she went to the wrong house! WATTA dork. She told me she rang the doorbell and this lady answered and Trinh asked for me. The lady’s like uh nooo there’s no one here by that name. Haha All the while Trinh was thinking whoa did Kim get a new mom? She looks diff. Haha man. Good job Trinh, good job. So off we went to Mercado to watch!

Damn LOTR is sooo good. I loved it. I’m not gonna spoil it for anyone. It was funnie to watch. When they showed Legolas for the first time, all these girls were screaming. Such retards haha. He’s okay, he’s easy on the eyes but I think he looks too feminine. Shoot he has nicer hair than some girls. In response, when they showed Liv Tyler, the guys were shouting. Dude this movie rocks, WOOT WOOT its all about the TREEs yo! Back off back off! Maria absolutely loves the mint cookies I made. Haha She made sure I brought some to the movies.

After the movie we just went home. I was kinda stiff from just sitting there for almost 4 hours. Cuz we went early n made sure we had good seats. So we sat there for over 3 hours n a half. Good movie though.

Sunday I didn’t go anywhere except with my mom to buy water. Maria called me n want to know if I could come over on Monday to help her bake my mint cookies with her. I told her I couldn’t cuz I was busy but I’d give her the recipe. She couldn’t write it down at that time so she told me she was gonna call the next day. I checked my grades online and DAMN I'm so fuckin disappointed. I got C+s straight across the board. >:[ Makes me really sad. I'm still waiting on my math grade. Damn I'm so freakin scared.

Monday I played Streets of Rage on Sega uhhhh old skool! Haha Me n my sis beat the game again. Then Maria called so I gave her the recipe. She absolutely loves the mint cookies. I hope her cookies turn out good. Stupid James called me n asked if I wanted to go to the mall with him but I’m mad at that mofo so I told him no n hung up on him. Damn bastard.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) ALOHA!!! :]!!! Hopefully I’ll see Kat (Chi).

Wednesday is X-mas!

2002-11-28T21:28:00.000-08:00

Today is Thursday, Thanksgiving! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I’m sorry its been over a month since I last updated my thoughts. Millions of things have happened but I can’t remember them all to write about so I’ll just write what I do remember.

Well I can’t remember when but it was a Wednesday, I got my first English essay back, which I thought I did a decent job on, and I found out that I got a freakin D+ on it! Man that made me hella sad. And I was bewildered too! I don’t think I did that bad of a job to get a D+ but apparently the teacher thinks so. That same day I also got my Humanities midterm back and I got a C on it. I was hella sad cuz of that too because I put hella time and effort into it but I got a freakin C. Ugh piss me off. But on that day it just hit me how bad I was really doing in school… I’m really worried because I’m not doing that well in math either. The only class I seemed to be doing okay in was my ECS class but even in that I’m not sure. English has me worried the most because the teacher is grading hella hard and I don’t know how to do better in that class. I went to her office hours but it didn’t seem to help much. All the emphasis of grading is put on to the 3 essays in the quarter. She said oh the first essay isn’t worth that much its only 20% of your grade. I was like WTF… the other two essays are 25% of my grade so I’m really worried. The second essay is on poems and its due the Monday I come back from Thanksgiving break. In math, I hope I’m doing better, I’m trying to study for it more. Okay now let me write about my crunch week…

The week of Nov 17th -22nd was the week of hell for me. I had never felt so much concentrated stress ever before. It started the Friday before that week, I got to work on my English essay because I knew it would require a lot of time and effort. I also got started on redoing my Humanities midterm project. For my humanities paper, the TA wanted us to redo our midterm project and this would be worth 25% of our grade. Since I had gotten Cs on the first two, I had to do well on this one. So all weekend I slaved over these two things. God, I spent two days on my damn eng essay. It was horrible, I never spent so much time one a freaking essay before and I tried analyzing the two poems, finding connections… trying to connect my essay to imagery. I never erased so much either! I look down and my shirt is covered in eraser shavings.

This is how that week’s schedule looked like:
Monday – English essay due
Tuesday – Humanities Paper due, ECS programming midterm, ECS hw
Wed – ECS program due
Thursday – Math Quiz

This is how the week ended up:
Monday – English essay due
Tuesday - nothing
Wednesday – ECS hw due
Thursday – ECS midterm, Humanities Paper due, Math quiz
Friday – ECS program due
(This does not include all the math hw, English reading, humanities reading and humanities hw that I had to do)

That Sunday I was working on my hw and my suitemate Loretta pops in my room and goes hey wanna go play badminton. I was like hmm how can I turn down badminton? Hehe especially after just sitting there all weekend n not moving, I could use the exercise so I went with her and her friend Jeff and Will. We went and played for about an hour or so and then I ran half a mile afterwards. It was me and Jeff vs. Will and Loretta. We won the first game and Loretta n Will won the second game so we split. They beat us by 3 pts I think on the 3rd game. Bah! Made me mad dammit I wanted to win haha. So we have to have a rematch for that. I think they wanted to play more but I was like no I have to go back and do more hw. I suggested we all eat dinner together n they agreed so an hour later we met up for dinner. Jeff brought more of his friends and so I met Jessica, Amanda and Kat. Turns out they all went to Castro Valley HS with Loretta wherever that is haha. It was really fun, I learned that Amanda likes to watch Alias as well so me and Jan were like hey come to our place to watch it tonite. She agreed and when it came time she showed up. Jeff was there too but he wasn’t watching with us. We had a blast watching and Will came over too. Jessica came looking for Amanda when she didn’t come back from watching Alias. We all ended up playing Uno till 12:30 in the morning. Then we some how migrated to my room and we talked there till 3:30. Boy was I tired… I had to get up at 7 to go to my 8am class too and Jessica had a midterm at 9! Haha but it was fun talking.

Monday morning was horrible, I was sooo tired from staying up so late and I had no idea what I was doing. I turned my essay in and then went to math. I went home and I think I took a 3 hr nap and got back to hw. Someone found out that there was a meteor shower that night and we all wanted to go and so the same people from the day before met up and we went to Oxford Park to play on the jungle gym and watch the stars. Bobby came over and we went out there around 12:30. For awhile we were the only ones there and we climbed up and down the rope jungle gym, ran around the play ground, spinning ppl on the twirly thing. It was much fun! I bundled up like crazy, I had 4 layers of shirts on, scarf, beanie, hood, gloves. Then these other ppl came and they were kinda playing on the twirly thing as well. They spun the girls on there minus me and Jannie flew off it haha it was pretty sad. We all tired ourselves out and we went to lay on the net that was attatched to the jungle gym. We saw a couple of good shooting stars and some small ones. It got colder as we laid there. As it got near 2am a lot of ppl started coming out to watch the stars but ha we had the best spot. I forgot but someone said the sprinklers came on around 2 and so we were trying to see if the sprinklers would go on and spray all the ppl on the grass hahaha. Unfortunately they didn’t go on. Around 2:45 we all decided it was cold and we had had enough so we went back to our dorms. It was fun. Good thing I had a 2pm class the next day or else I’d die. Go here to check out the pics from that nite

Tuesday I set my alarm to wake up at 9 so I could get up n do my hw. I worked on my Humanities essay till I had to go to class. I cam back from class and worked more on my HUM paper.

Wednesday I walked all over campus cuz I had taken the bus to school and omg I had a blister on my foot from walking so much. I turned in my ECS hw in the engineering building which was in the boonies. I went home to work on my HUM paper some more and got the articles printed out at the LRC. Geez I must printed out over 100 sheets of paper. Good thing it wasn’t my ink. I tried to study for ECS as well and I totally forgot I had to do my math hw so I did as much of that as I could. Sigh.

Thursday I woke up early once again to get started on my hw and I went to LRC to print some more articles out. I went to class and handed in my HUM paper, then I went to my ECS class to take my midterm. God I knew I bombed that test when I took it. I had no idea how to do a lot of the stuff… I studied for the midterm too!!! It made me sad cuz I did well on the first midterm. SIGH. After that I went to eat dinner with Hanh and Dieu. It was Italian night so the food was different. I went back to Hanh’s so she could teach me how to do the math hw problems I didn’t know how to do so I can do it incase it was on the quiz. I got kinda hysterical. It was from all that stress I was going through. I swear at times I was just hyperventilating from the stress. While Hanh was trying to teach me this one problem I felt like laughing… it wasn’t funnie but I just couldn’t hold it back kinda and I laughed. I couldn’t control it… I was a bit hysterical but then I calmed down a bit. I went to my math discussion and took the quiz. Good thing Hanh went over this one problem, he asked for it and I knew how to do it. So I went home feeling a bit relieved thinking most of the things that were due were behind me and I only had the program left.

HAH such a lie… the program caused me so much stressed. I started a little bit of it on Wednesday night but now I had to concentrate on it since the program was due on Friday by midnight. I got back to my dorm around 9:15 and I did my HUM hw. I worked on my program and it was so freakin frustrating. I was lost, I wasn’t sure what to do, I kept having problems. I struggled through the first part of the program and finished most of it I think before I went to sleep. But I didn’t go to sleep until…4:45 in the morning. I had figured if I finished the program I would skip my ecs discussion but fat chance. I was having so many problem with the program I had to go to my discussion at 8 am. So I had about 2 hours of sleep before I got up at 7 to go to the discussion. God.. I didn’t even remember hearing the alarm or turning it off. Jannie was like… Kim.. and I answered what… a few mins later. Then I finally realized I should get up. I trudged out of bed, brushed my teeth and went straight to class… my eyes were too tired to put in contacts. I went to discussion and tried to get as much help from the ta as best I could for the second part. I went home, ate breakfast and biked back to school to math class since I missed the bus. Man I was running on fumes… I had 2 hours of sleep I dunno how I did it. I went to math class and was getting ready to bike back when all of a sudden Jeff appeared behind me. He was in my math class too and so we talked for a bit and he biked with me to make sure I got back safely for the most part. That was nice of him. He lives in Cuarto too except in Emerson I think. All the ppl I met live somewhere in Cuarto. Jess and Amanda live in the same building as I do though. I went home and went straight to my program. I SLAVED over that god damn program. I didn’t go to the dc for lunch, I ate very unhealthily… Loretta and Jannie were kind enough to bring me back a brownie but I only ate half of it. The longer I kept working on it, the possibility of taking a nap to make up loss hours of sleep diminished. I finally finished at 6 I think and I ran over to Bobby’s place in Emerson so he could check over my program to work out the small kinks and I sent it in at 6:30. Oh god… I was so happy to be rid of that fuckin program… I hate ecs now after that…

Peter was coming over from Berkeley and he’d be in Davis at around 7:45 so I decided to take a quick nap. But I ended up not being able to sleep. I just laid in my bed until 7:30 and I called Vi. She came to pick me up and we went to pick Peter up. We went back to Vi’s NICE apt where she cooked us dinner. I had had a home cooked dinner like that in awhile, it was simple yet good :] Thanks Vi. We sat there n talked for awhile n then headed over to my place.

At my place, Will, Jeff, Jess, Amanda, Loretta and Jannie were watching some movie on tv so me, Vi, and Peter went to my room to sit n talk. We chatted and then watched Mr. Deeds. That movie’s pretty funnie. I like the butler! Sneaky Sneaky. Haha the next day I kept find all these things related to the movie. So after we watched, Vi went back to her place and I took Peter out to intro everyone. We played uno and chatted. I can’t remember what else we did but we were having a sleepover so we went to bed around 3:30. It was pretty crazy, we all slept on the floor. There were like 10 ppl and man there was no way to walk around without stepping on someone haha. I slept next to Amanda and Peter and we were squished! During the night if I wanted to move I’d have to lift myself up so I wouldn’t roll on to anyone or something. Sleeping on the floor hurted my back a lot. The next morning we all woke up and went to the Oxford Dinning Commons to eat brunch. We then headed back to our dorms to get stuff and then met up again to go play badminton. That was a lot of fun. I hadn’t played so hard in sucha long time. There was a game with Peter n me vs. Will n Jeff. Me n Peter won. That game was fun. A good two hours and then I ran a mile afterwards. We went back, took a shower, hung out, then went to dinner at the OCDC again. I wanted to go watch Die Another Day so we went. At first Jess and Amanda didn’t want to go but we convinced them to go >:] muhahaha.

We biked downtown and the line was pretty long for the 9:40 showing so we bought tixs for the 10:10 showing. We went to Tapioca Express for drinks and then came back. By the time we came back there was a long line for the 10:10 showing too! Goodness. We went in n sat down. After a few mins I realized I was missing my scarf. I was like ARG where is it. I thought I dropped it on the way back from Tapioca Express. Piss me off… woulda been the second time I lost something. I lost my black leather gloves. Awww I’m so sad, my sis got me those for x-mas and I really liked them. >:[ No one was nice enuff to tell me they dropped outta my pockets… Anyway I also had to go pee really badly I was gonna try to hold it in till the movie ended but I was like noooo I GOTTA GOOO haha so I went to the bathroom in the middle of the movie. I never did that before! But I just had to go. I felt so much better afterwards n enjoyed the rest of the movie. I really really liked the movie but others were kinda like ehh so so. When I got up I looked around to see if I had dropped the scarf but I saw nothing. Jeff who sat next to me got up and looked down. He bent down to pick up something and voila! It was my scarf! What a life saver. Man I was hecka happy he found it. I had my scarf and I’d be warm for the ride back.

Now for the ride back ppl kept going so fast and I didn’t wanna keep pumping my heart out to keep up with them so I just went my normal pace while everyone raced off ahead. Kat was going about the same pace as I was and we kept telling the ppl to slow down but no one listened. When we reached the Regan area Amanda had stopped to wait for us and we’re like lets scare them by “disappearing.” They were so far ahead by the time we reached the light they had already crossed and we had to stop. So we figured we’d go hide somewhere. We parked our bikes and snuck around the buildings to try to get into Webster but we couldn’t. It was so fun because we just saw James Bond so we’re sneaking around like him and acting all sneaky. Haha we finally got into Emerson where I knew Bobby lived and we went to his place to visit him since he couldn’t go watch with us. We hung out there and played Mario Kart. That was so fun! I won muhaha. Kat and Amanda turned on the phone cuz I wanted them to check how many missed calls they had but surprisingly they had none! So we figured they weren’t worrying about us. Finally Loretta called and we got Bobby’s suitemate to yell “shut the fuck up bitches” into the phone n then hung up. That was pretty funnie and we decided we better head back. We went back and we made up this bogus story about being chased by guys on campus and hiding from them. Loretta believed us and then Jess and Jeff came back n we told them. Finally we broke the news that it was a lie and we did it for fun just to get back at them for leaving us behind. Jess didn’t take the joke so well n ran out upset. We were all kinda like “shit.” We ran after her but she didn’t want to be bothered with. That kinda ruined the mood and we’re like man we fucked up. I didn’t mean for anyone to be that hurt by it. It was just a joke n it got outta hand. So we were worried about what would happen now and stuff. I got to talk to Jess before I went to sleep and we worked a little bit of it out. Poor Peter, he was just sitting there listening to all this drama hehe. We all went to bed around 4 something. I slept on my own bed this time. Woke up, went to brunch again with everyone, Jess seemed much better and I apologized to her in person. Then we all took a break from each other cuz we had hw to do! We totally neglected it cuz we hung out so much.

For dinner we met up again to eat at the Castilian dc. Hung out a bit afterwards. Too bad the weekend had to end, I has so much fun. It was a great ending to a week of such horrible stress. That was the first weekend that I had continuous fun at.

Monday was back to school as usual. Monday night I started this whole warning war. It was pretty funnie. I wanted to warn Amanda for her own good! She had to write a paper but she kept chatting online. So I wanted to give her a rate limit so she couldn’t talk anymore. I warned Loretta and Jess in the process too. Muhaha. Tuesday Mimi came up from Santa Clara to hang out. I had lunch with Jess, Amanda, n Jeff n Kat. I stopped by Amanda n Jess after I came back from my classes. Loretta told me I had frens over so I ran back to my dorm on the opposite side n up the stairs. All of a sudden I noticed someone going HEY HEY and running after me. I was about to put the key in my door when all of a sudden I see the guy running n stumbling up the stairs after me. I was like omg.. what is this guy up to… I was all ready to deck him or something when he’s like Wait! And he hold up his hand and he’s holding one of my blue gloves. HAHAHA oh man… I was like OH THANK you so much!! I felt all bad cuz I was gonna deck him when all he wanted to do was return my glove. Scared me though! Cuz of what happened earlier that day. When I woke up Amanda told me there had been a rape on campus at the social science building and I was like freakin a... Vi has a class there! So I tried calling vi but I kept getting an automated msg. I was nervous n worried. I must have called her a million times that day and she didn’t call me back till 2:30 but I was in class. I finally got in touch with her at 4:30. It made me relieve it wasn’t her. So yah anyway, me, Amanda, Jess, Kat, Jeff and Loretta dinner. I watched JAG. It was so stupid I totally lost track of time and I missed the first 15 mins of it. Then I watched 24 at 9. It was good. Jan and Loretta went to Amanda’s n Jess’s at 9 to watch smallville. :P 24 is so much better than smallville.

Wednesday I went to class, did my presentation in eng. I had to wake up early n got to Dutton Hall to sign up for walk in hours to get help on my eng essay. The guy was very helpful in my opinion. I was late to math class cuz of that but its okay. I’ll get the notes from hanh or dieu. Then I went home and Hieu was there waiting for me. We went to go eat sushi with Hanh, Mimi, Dieu, Jannie and Hanh’s bro. Sushi was very yummy. I liked it lots. Too much mayo though haha and stupid everyone kept eating chicken in front o fme. Bah to u guys. After, me n Hieu went to go to Allegre to get some info about it and I signed up on their waiting list. We went back to my dorm and I packed up and we left. I took a short nap in his car on the way home and when I woke up I found him semi racing this yellow prelude. Got home and it felt very nice. My parents ordered Com Tam, I think that’s how u spell it and yeah that was delicious! Yum yum.

Today, I woke up, did laundry, and went to my parent’s friend’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. It was very yummy. Gosh I stuffed myself! Man I thought I was doing good, I came home, weighed myself, found out I didn’t gain any weight and now that I’m so full I could burst… I’m sure I gained some lbs there…. So far I’ve gained 7lbs.. that’s horrible. 8 more and I’ll be at the freshmen 15! HoRRIBLE I tell u! My parent’s frens just moved into a new house and its very nice! I like it a lot. They decorated the kids’ rooms really nicely. Gave me some ideas. Haha okay now that everyone’s eyes are tired from reading all this if they made it that far. That’s all for now. Till.. whenever I do blog again. Oh god… another ECS program is out… I’m already stressed thinking about it. Sigh okay. Toodles.

2002-10-25T14:26:00.000-07:00

Ha, its been almost a month since I've updated. Sorry, its been busy, I've been lazy and yeah the combination = no thoughts. I still think that Cuarto is so freakin far away. Sigh my furthest class is in Olson and every morning I have to leave atleast 20 mins before class starts so I can make it on time. I have to pump those crazy legs to get there on time! Hmm let me think of all the stuff that's gone down since I last updated.

I went to see the Tuxedo the Saturday it came out and that was the first Jackie Chan movie I disliked. I thought it was stupid. Waste of my money. I saw it with Eric and his friends n then we walked around downtown for a little bit lookin for Starbucks. I also went clubbing for the first time, FINALLY. Hehe, I went to the Grad which is kinda close to Cuarto. Wow finally something close to my place for once. I went with Hanh and Kim. Gosh there are Kims everywhere I go. Atleast she doesn't have the same last name, I think. It was alright, I had no expectations so yeah. In the end it seems like just a school dance without the rules and guys are more bolder. I had my foot stepped on. That sucked. There were two weird guys, and I dun remember how many guys I turned down. Hanh and Kim wanted to leave when it was around 12:30 cuz they had a class in the morning so we left. On one weekend, Jen Long came up to pick up a friend and she stopped by to say hi on a Friday.

The next day Hieu came up to visit me. We went to go eat Pho and then I watched The Transporter with him. It was pretty kewl hanging out with him. He left around 6 ish. Ky and Kim visted me the week before that. It was nice seeing them and we hung out. We went to Baker's Square to eat lunch. Then we went back a few hours later and got French Silk pie. OoooOoOo was that good. Yuuum, and it was so fattening too. Haha gosh. The weekend before Kim n Ky came, my neighbors came up to visit me and we went n got Starbucks, ate at Togos, drove around, got lost, had fun. hehe Matt bought a chinaman's hat from this halloween store n walked around with it on. Jan thought it was kewl... riiight. We went to that one big book store/ cafe next to Jamba Juice n Gap. Wow I saw really nice clothes at Gap, I wanna buy em but ehhh dun wanna spend right now. I noticed that everyone that has visited me has driven a Celica up here. Haha.

Oh gosh I'm so tired writing this right now. Sooo sleepy. Last weekend I finally went home to visit. It was the week of SC homecoming and I wanted to see the bonfire. Jen Long came up to take me home. That was soooo nice of her. THANKS JEN LONG!!! Dude I was sooo ecstatic when we were in the San Jose area. Oh man, I was just happy to be home! Tina came along with Jen Long. On the way home Tina wanted to play Slug bug, OOooo she picked the wrong game to play. Hahaha, I'm hella good at that game and I hella smack Tina. haha A million times! Tina was mad cuz she couldn't hit me so she started making up stuff to hit me for like BOAT! Cop! haha. In Milpitas we stopped at Tapioca Express and got drinks and they got chicken *GASP* those evil mofos! We drove Tina home first and I was so excited when I saw Eastridge! Haha I was like wow I'm really home! I got home and it felt SOOOOO nice. I could walk 20 ft n still be in the same house. I had to get use to everything. I was like ohhh yaaaah I remember this n that. It felt super good to be at home. I ate bagel bites for dinner n then Jen Long picked me up again n me, my sis and her friend went to SC for the bonfire.

I saw a whole bunch of familiar faces. I was so happy! Aileen, Danvi, Anh, Ant n other people. We watched the skits and fireworks then we headed to Denny's. Man there was a big ol crowd of us like 15 heads and it took forever to get our food. Then a whole bunch of seniors came in at 11 to eat too n I saw more ppl. It was lots of fun. Seeing familiar faces really cheered me up. I realized that I dislike being here at Davis. I guess I just need to get away from it more often. This was the first time I went home in almost a month, ever since I moved up here. It was a very much welcomed break. I was getting tired of life here. Lalala I loved sleeping in my old bed, where I could roll around and not worry about falling off. Saturday was my sis's b-day party n gosh her friends are freakin noisy. Just a few of them and they screech and gosh... annoying at times. One girl keeps going "I'm a blonde" I thought that was really strange.. Sunday I bought shoes n then my rents drove me back to Davis. Boo

This past week has been soooo stressful. I came back on Sunday and I did hw. Monday I spent all day writing my Humanities essay which was due on tuesday. On tuesday I spent the day writing my english essay which was due on Wednesday. On Wednesday I did my computer programming hw that was due on Thursday. Thursday was the first day that I didn't have anything due right away. Today my friend is gonna come over and help me with my computer program that due on Monday. Hopefully I'll be able to finish that today and not have to worry about it. I really have to get started on my Humanties project that due on Thurs. AIYAH. Midterms is this week coming up too. Tuesday is Computer Programming. Wednesday is Math. Thursday Humanities. Sigh... sooo tired. Stress stress stress. I gotta study like a mofo this weekend.

Last night my friend asked me to go to a club and I wanted to but I had a 8 am class and I dunno I was tired. I came home at 9:30 after my math discussion class n stuff. Okay that enough of an update, I'm too tired.

2002-09-28T14:48:00.000-07:00

Geez, its been a week since I've updated. Many things have happened since then. I am now in Davis in my new residence haha. So far all the rooms I've been to are better than mine. Gosh I live in the boonies! I live in the furthest room of the furthest building of the furthers dorm. Its not even on campus, it takes approximately 10 mins just to get out of my dorm area to the main street, cross that and actually get onto campus. And another 7 mins to get to wherever. Sooo far away and its a bitch to bike everywhere. My legs burned like hell the first few days. My knees hurted too.

Last friday nite I went out with Kim, Ky and some of his friends. We went to watch Ballistics: Ecks vs. Sever and I thought the movie was good, the plot was okay but there wasn't much talking on Lucy Liu's part which kinda disappointed. Lots of action though. I liked it though everyone else didn't. Oh well. After that we drove around n then ate at Pho Bang. Then we went to some park near quimby or something. It was like a make out point or something, we were just hanging out there and these cars drove up and just parked there... haha we were like lets see if the windows get steamy. Hung out there then Kim's mom called and she had to go home. Kim gave me the sunglasses and we hugged good bye. Ky drove me home n I hugged him good bye and off to bed I went.

Next morning, Saturday, I wake up to my phone ringing and its Ky, calling to see if I was gonna go play tennis but I was tired and plus I knew I had to go do a lot of things since it was my last day in SJ. At like 10 I went wid my mom to my banked n closed my account n went to another bank to open a new one. Then we went to all these places to buy last minute things. I came home and packed like crazy. It was hot and I kept getting dizzy. My dad's frens came over and I played with their kids for a bit. Then more packing. Ate dinner, Aileen, Jen Long and Elaine visited me. That was nice. Earlier in the day Justin and Tina visited me. That was kewl too.

Sunday I woke up early and got ready and we drove down to Davis. gosh it was hot as hades and we had to move my heavy stuff up 3 stories to my room. I got there first, Jan was at her cousin's house. It was pretty hectic. Then after that me n my family went to Subway and I ate there. Drove back to my dorm place and sat up there for awhile. Then they left and I was off on my own. Awww my mommy was crying. I felt bad, I'm gonna miss her much. She's so cool, I'll miss having someone to play around with.

Monday me n Jan had to bike all over the place. We went to Radio Shack which was all the way down town to get a cable for our tv, then all over school to get her id, and our bike license and ack alll this stuff.

Tuesday, I can't remember what we did but it required a lot of biking.

Wednesday more biking... At nite Vi picked us up and we went to her apartment. Damn! She has a hella nice appartment in a nice area. Her roommates were bored so they decided to throw a BBQ. We dipped our legs in the spa, that was really nice cuz it made my muscles feel better after all that biking. We hung out there, ate, played many games. I got rug burn diving for this one pen when we were playing spoons. Haha anything to win! haha riiite anyway, jan and her friend wanted to go home so we did. I stayed up till like 2 in the morn talking to Ky. We had a very interesting conversation.

Thursday was the first day of school but I didn't have class till 2. Around 12 me n jan went to grab lunch and then to the book store where I got the rest of my books that I needed. Went to class. First day of class was interesting. My humanities class seems interesting. The teacher is kinda quirky but thats better than boring. Then I had my computer programming class... that was interesting... I guess... I dunno it was weird. Then I had my math discussion waaaaay at 8pm. Its so freakin late. And I had to bike home all by myself. IN the dark. Boo. So we were home and I was watching tv. Brian Do wanted to come over but he got lost finding the place just like everyone else who comes to visit me. He brought two of his friends and he said he was gonna go play badminton and asked me to go. Of course I can't turn down badminton so I went. FIrst we went to Tapioca Express and he treated me to Tapioca Caramel Macchiato, that stuff is good. Then to badminton, that was super fun. I pretty much single handedly beat the two guys I played against. Then it got more fun at the end cuz we started playing doubles. Now thats wat I'm talking about. Heheh. I accidentally uh... smashed into brian's head... poor guy. He said it hurt a lot. Sorry! So they kicked us out of the gym at midnite n I went home.

Friday I had class at 8 in the morn but it was a discussion time for my programming class and it was cancelled so no class till 11. That class is my calc class. At first I didn't know wat the hell the teacher was saying but when he wrote functions I was like uh okay. N that was it. I was done with classes by 12. Went to eat lunch wid Jan. Later on at nite we went to the school dance. It was boring. It was okay, music was bad at times, no cute guys. Jan got a bloody nose and we went home after that. Well that was all.

Today is Saturday and I woke up at like 11:40. We we went to eat lunch and now we're bored. I really wanna see the Tuxedo. Okay well thats all.

Busy busy busy! Thursday morn I woke up at 8, put my clothes in the dryer to get rid of lint, ate breakfast, burned a cd, folded a million clothes. I packed another suitcase full of clothes n bed linens, etc. Then I got ready, went to Silver Creek to visit teachers n say bye for the last time. I stopped by Zellner, he gave me a hug and some encouraging words :] Then to Mrs. Guttal's. I gave her a pic that we took at the end of the year with the whole class, she gave me a pic to give to Jan. Then I went to Mrs. Nunes but she wasn't there! Phooey! Ms. Sunseri said come back at lunch and she'll be in the bank but dude I didn't want to wait two hours.. So I went to visit Miss Campane and hung out with her for awhile.

I called Ky up and we went out to eat lunch. He took me to Mayflower to eat dim sum and uh that was an interesting experience... haha food carts come by... weird lookin things to eat... Yah... interesting to say the least. Then we went to Sweet Tea for drinks. The lychee drink is yummy. I like. Then we went to Target so I could check out the tvs. Then he dropped me off back home. After a few mins at home, I went to Hoang's to give him back his stuff and to say good bye. I picked up my sis then went to see Mrs. Nunes to give her the pics of the past badminton year and say good bye. Ahhh Mrs. Nunes is so cool... she's so motherly and wise. While I was on campus earlier and when I went to see Mrs. Nunes, geeez I guess high school students are immature.. I swear I heard like 3 separate times about talk of fighting. Like oh yah this bitch blah blah I'm gonna call her out and stuff liek that. Sheesh did we talk about fighting that much when we were in high school? Maybe... I dun remember. After all that I went home. I got much accomplished yesterday... I was pretty wiped out though.

Today was almost like yesterday xcept I woke up a lil earlier. I woke up at 7:30 chatted with my mom for awhile n then I took a shower n I thought I was going to walk with Jan n Jen but they wanted to walk alllll the way to Sarah's house. Shoot, too far, and I already said my good byes to her. So I sayed at home n packed some more. OMG I tried stuffing the slipper thing back in its hole cuz it came off when I was running around during a waterfight and it took me half an hour trying to put that thing back in its place damn mofo shoot, atleast I can wear my flip flops now. Jen n Jan were back at 10:30 so I went to pick them up and we went to Oakridge where I picked up my last pay check and got a price adjustment. Then went to Old Navy n bought another pair of jeans. I was gonna go to the flea market to try to find a carrying case for my cell but didn't have enuff time. There was one at the mall for 20 bucks... shoot thats the price of my freakin jeans. Then we went to Wal Mart cuz Jen wanted to pick her pics up, when we got there, they weren't done yet. Jan bought some shampoo n stuff. Off we went to Target to buy a tv! Finally. Sheesh. While we were there we saw Mimi! Oh that little girl, she's so cute, I'm gonna miss her haha. We always hug so much. So Jan decided on a 13 in so we got that one for 99 bucks, but Mimi tried using her employee discount even though she didn't work there no more and it worked! Haha saved us like 5 bucks and so yah that was koo, said bye to her. Then to In N Out to satisfy my hunger n craving. Oh gosh so fattening but damn it was good. Yum yum. After we ate, we went to Jan's to put the tv there. Ha it was funnie we were trying to lift it and put it up in her closet but stuff was in the way and Jen tried pulling it out and covered Jan in all these dust bunnies. Jen so did not help! She just sat there while we struggled. ThANKS A LOT JEN LONG. :] I said good bye to Jen Long but she said she'd come visit me tomorrow. I left and went to pick up my sis! Whew all this before 2 o clock! I'm very productive haha.

Tonight I'm going to go watch Ballistics: Ecks vs. Sever with Ky n Kim. Prolley play pool n eat afterwards. Tomorrow Kim wants to go to the Tet Trung Thu festival (Moon Festival) so we'll see if my rents will let me out... nite before I move.. Hmm. Saturday I need to go buy last min stuff n then pack. Welp thats all.

2002-09-18T16:16:00.000-07:00

Gosh, my last few days here are so busy. Too many places to be, so many ppl to visit, too much stuff to pack, dates to keep and a tv to buy. Lets recap my week, Monday morning I woke up a like 8 and started making a carrot cake, then Jen n Jan came over, Jen had to go to creek at 12, me n Jan watched Entrapment. I wrote in Aileen's yearbook while Jan watched. Then I drove Jan home, later on Aileen came by to chat and exchanged yearbooks. Ahhh that girl, I'll miss my twin :]

Tuesday... I started packing clothes and tried to stuff them into the suitcase haha. Kim stopped by after lunch and we chatted n I fed her lunch. She took hella pics from my stack. Shoooot. But anyway, it was nice seeing her again, hopefully we'll hang before I go. After she left, I went to pick my sis up n headed to the doctors. Not much after that. Oh yah I went to Eastridge to mail this thing to Davis.

Today, whew, hectic. Early morn I woke up, ate, packed some more clothes, got ready n went to the dentist. Then I went to visit Sarah, I woke her up haha. Then I went to Hoang's, he took me to Best Buys and Tower Records. Scoping out tvs and he wanted to buy cds. He let me burn the dance cd he bought and I burned this CD by these 4 chics named Bond. Its a really good Cd!!! I love it! He also burned me Office XP and the Diana Fox cd. Back to his house, I went back to mine, then picked my sis up and then I headed to McCarthy Ranch. Ky called but I thought he wasn't able to keep his lunch date with me so I made other plans but he called me right before I was about to go. Damn. Maybe tomorrow. So we met up at this placed called Banana Leaf. I think my mom ate there before n said she didn't like it so I kinda discouraged everyone from eating there. We went to hometown buffet instead and at there! It was pretty good I guess... 7.35 to eat. Such an odd number. Their cheesecake was really good. I was kinda stuffed after I ate. We took pics and had funny conversation. Anh said something funny n I wanted to put it in here but I forgot. Aileen was hilarious. She was talking about potatos how we should eat them high starch if they're baked and low starch if something else.. and Anh asked what's the diff? And there was this loooong silence haha it was so funnie, Aileen had no idea. She was just saying cuz she heard it somewhere. Ahhh that girl... cracks me up all the time. Then I rushed home almost made a few wrong turns. Made it home and now I'm really tired. But I can't sleep cuz I ate too much haha.

I intend... to pack the rest of my clothes tomorrow, visit Mrs. Nunes and Mrs. Guttal at Creek. I need to give Mrs. Nunes her pics n Mrs. Guttal cuz she asked me to come back before I go. Maybe Mr. Zellner too, depends on time.

Friday I need to go to Anchor Blue, get my last paycheck, and get a price adjustment n maybe check out Old Navy. I also need to definately buy a tv by friday for sure or else there will be no tv... And I need a tv! Sigh.. All this in the morn.. I wonder if I can manage.

2002-09-13T22:28:00.000-07:00

Thursday was Brian Hoang's b-day and I made brownies for him. But I must admit I was more in it for myself cuz I wanted to eat brownies haha. I love brownies! They're soooo yummy. Gosh, if only ppl made em for me haha. We were watching this Chinese beauty pageant at Jen Long's house while making the brownies and I did not understand a single word they said haha. Both Jan and Jen understood but I was like wat wat, what did they say? Then I went home to eat real quick n then picked up my sis n went back to Jen's. Ate the brownies and watched who the winner was. Ha! Me n Jen were arguing about who would win the pageant thing and I picked the girl that won! Take that Jen Long! Then I went to Angela's house to pick up the clothes that I left there like over a week ago from the waterfight. I bet it grew life from being wet for so long... I didn't really wanna find out, I dumped them into the washer n washed it. Then later Tina informed me they were gonna go lazer tagging for Brian's b-day and I was like oooo I wanna go cuz I never lazer tagged before. I had to do some begging before my dad let me go. So we went to Brian's house and lo and behold, the person of honor was not home. Great planning miss tina thai.

We stood outside figuring wat to do. Me, Justin n Tina went to golfland to play. HA! I won! I kicked butt. I got like a 56, Tina got 78 i think and Justin got 80 something. Oh man, it was fun hanging with them. We come up with the weirdest thing. OMG... Justin is a clepto.... I swear... he stole a million of those small pencils they leave out so you can keep score on your card... He's like yeah I'm set for college now. Gee he was so generous he gave me a white and a green pencil. Then we took forever to decided where else to go. We decided on Vietnamese sandwiches. I drove there and Justin in Tina were hilarious. We were doing all sorts of stuff in the car. Waving to ppl, there was this one guy who kept glaring at us... There was this old lady trying to sell fruits outside the shop and we all felt bad but didn't do anything. We went inside and ate, more funnie stuff going on and when we left I wanted to give the lady money. But Justin said it would be a diss if I just gave her money so I gave Tina money to give to Justin who bought a mango from her n said keep the change. Justin selected a nice looking mango... UNTIL U TURNED IT OVER! there was like a gash in the side or something. so that was my good deed of the week or so, i helped sum1 out :]

So we drove back to where Justin parked his car and Justin was in the back playing with my windshield blocker thing to keep the sun out and he was asking if he could tan with it... I was like sure... but ur holding it the wrong way. I kept trying to correct him but he wouldn't listen and insisted his way was right... Now you know why Justin is so white..

Today, I went to the great mall with Keith, Matt and Neal. Ha i looked like a pimp with like 3 guys following me around haha. J/p. We went to old navy and i spent forever there lookin for my freaking size! Arg it was so frustrating. Keith tried to help me but yeah damn we couldn't find the size I wanted on this one wall. I dunno how long we spent in there but it was hella long and I ended up buying one pair... Its kinda tight hmm just better hope I dun get fatter. If I dun fit those no more, I know I'm in big trouble. We went home after that and I kinda wanted to go to the Creek dance but Angela wasn't able to get me tixs cuz she left early. Its alright. Right now I'm listening to Donna Summer's Hot Stuff. It makes me wanna dance haha. Disco is kool. Shoooooot.

I swear I had memory lapses... or mental lapses... I dun remember stuff I do and I dunno, its bad, ask my neighbors. haha That's all!

2002-09-11T21:56:00.000-07:00

Today's entry will be reflective of September 11, 2001 and how things have changed since then.

I remember one year ago today, my mom woke me up and she said hurry come downstairs and watch the television, the world trade towers have been attacked. At first I was like what? I thought it was a bombing like the one that happened a few years back in the world trade tower basement. I watched the news footage of the first tower, smoke billowing from the top where the plane had struck. Then I saw the second plane ram into the second tower. I must admit, my reactions were cruel and I thought that whoever did it was pretty smart using planes because I had thought about it before and thought that if someone used a plane, no one would be able to stop them since they're huge and can fly so fast. I have since regret my initial reactions. Then reports came in that the Pentagon had been attacked by another plane and then another plane had crashed in Pennsylvania... I thought what on earth is going on? How many more attacks are there going to be? Then I had to get ready for school. Being out here in Cali I'm not really affected by what happened because I didn't know anyone on the east coast and it just seemed so surreal. I went to school and in first period I asked Kimiko if she knew what happened. Then the teacher gave us a free day because he was really upset by what had happened, because he had served in the military himself. Then came the announcement on the PA about what had happened. We spent 5th period listening to the radio about what had happened. It was absolute pandemonium on the radio, people were still under the shock of the attacks and everyone was wondering what will happen next? I kind of remember thinking "wow."

It was a Tuesday, which meant game day. The tennis team had an away game at piedmont and we had a moment of silence on the bus before getting off. I came home and my parents were watching the tv, images of the second plane crashing into the second tower replayed over and over, as well as the devastation of the two towers collapsing. The comprehension of what had happened hadn't really struck me yet. I don't know when it did but I remember thinking...how horrifying... How can people do this? Out of pure hatred, to go through great lengths just to take lives. All to prove what? I don't understand how they could have possibly gained anything other than the fact that they had murdered innocents... For a better lack of words... it was just dumb.

So as stories start to pour out about family members going to ground zero, with pictures of their missing loved ones, asking if anyone had seen them. It was really sad. I can't imagine how they felt... the not knowing if they were alive or not. All their stories were really touching. And today, one year ago, they have even more stories of people who talked to their loved ones, especially those on United Flight 93. How they got a chance to talked to the few who had cell phones on them. They said their good byes and never heard from them again. There was this one chic who worked at cbs, and reports came in that a plane had hit one of the towers, she knew her dad had died because he worked there on the 80 something floor. Similar stories were shown.

Then I watched this segment with the flight controllers who were on duty at the time the four planes had been hijacked. It was really interesting. I think it is absolutely amazing that all controllers on duty were able to ground all flights. There were almost 4000 planes in the sky at the time and they were able to land each one without an accident. It just so amazing. One of the flight controllers was on his way to work, he had drop his wife off at the aiport and she was on the American Airlines flight that had crashed into the first tower. When he arrived at work, his coworkers pulled him aside and broke the news to him. Can you imagine just seeing your loved one just an hour or two ago and then have them taken away from you like that? Its horrible...

So as I look back and see the whole perspective of what had happened and its aftermath... its just devastating. I just hope something like this never happens again. Every single person has been touched by this event in one way or another, maybe not directly, but they have.

Random of acts of kindness always amaze me and how big people's hearts can be always touch me. I think that September 11th has brought more awareness to us all and that I try to be more aware of everyday things and not take stuff for granted. You should tell those you love "I love you" every chance you get because you never know when one day you might never be able to again. Don't hold back on doing things out of fear because you might never get the chance to again.

I was talking to Neal the other day when we reflected back on the days when the skies were absolutely silent... not a single plane in the sky. It just awes me that all those planes were grounded and not a single one was up. You know it was that bad if they grounded all aviation. We talked about where we were and what we were doing. All my friends I've talked say yah we weren't that affected at first because we're so far away and we didn't know anyone on the east coast.

I was talking to Jannie the other day and it was pretty hilarious. She said she woke up and turned on the tv and she saw the towers burning and she though, "What country is this?" hahaha oh man thats pretty funnie. She soon found out which country indeed.

Well, thats all for today thoughts. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those who died and to all their loved ones.

2002-09-08T12:26:00.000-07:00

Saturday, I watched the Men's Tennis semi-finals between Leyton Hewitt and Andre Agassi. It was a really good game! I watched it with my mom and we were rooting for Agassi the whole time. Yay he won in 4 sets! Pretty good considering he was playing the number 1 seed player in mens tennis. So today is the final between Samprass and Agassi. Who woulda thunk it. Haha. I gotta watch that later. I missed the womens tennis final between the Williams sisters... I wonder who won.

Anyway, Saturday night turned out pretty fun! I just wanted to go out but we didn't know where so we just said lets go to the movies. Swimfan was the only thing out and so we decided on that. Me, Tina, Brian Le and Justin went to the GM theaters to watch it. I thought it was gonna be one of those stupid teen flicks and when I sat down in the theaters I was thinking... I just paid 7 bucks for this movie... So I didn't really have any expectations for it. Ha! It turned out pretty good! That movie is soooo EVIL! I love it! I was smirking practically the entire time we were watching it. Freakin Tina, there were some "scary" parts to it and Tina hates scary movie and she was jumping and squealing. She was hitting me going KIIIIIIIIMMMM itsss sccaarrryyy I don't liiike it!!!! I was like shut up! You're being loud in the theater haha. The guys were pretty paranoid, they're like going "Don't EVER be like that!" referring to me and Tina. Haha Its so funnie. I'm not gonna say specifics about the movie so no spoilers for u ppl out there.

After the movie we were talking about it, it was hilarious. We got kinda lost getting out and we came across these train tracks and there was a cop car near by and there was a scene like that in the movie. Then we went to Neal's Starbucks where he hooked us up with drinks. Poor guy was having a bad day but I got to cheer him up a bit. What are friends for? :] I'm glad I could brighten his day a bit. So we sat there all of us, talking and stuff. Like the stuff that went on in the movie, he's pretty much living it right now so its not that koo for him haha. Then off to Edgies to play some pool. OMG I swear, there were soo many allusions to Swimfan... "Pool" table and swimming "pool." Beating ppl down on the pool table with a STICK. Haha it was so funnie. Man. So let it be a lesson for all you guys out there.... and maybe some girls too... better think before you have a one night stand cuz you never know about the aftermath...

So the night was pretty fun and Jen Long and Anh came to join us at Edgies cuz they were at the GM. Then Neal came by after they left cuz he just got off of work. We played some more and then went home. It was a fun day indeed. Go watch Swimfan!

2002-09-07T12:49:00.000-07:00

Wednesday I went back to SC to visit teachers with Jan. It was really nice going back to see all those cool teachers that we had. First we went to see Mr. Rodriguez n he was happy to see us. We chatted awhile during break n then we went to see Ms. Voss! Yeah! I love that woman, she's soooo cool. We chatted with her for awhile and she gave me advice for college: Take one day at a time. I shall try. Then we went to see Mr. Zellner. I totally forgot I was scared to go see him. I walk in the door and he's like Kim! I was like wow! You remember my name! Hahaha its a miracle! So we talked for a long time about tennis, english and stuff. Then he mentioned the AP and I was like oh no.... I totally forgot... Eee.. I mentioned to him that I missed tennis and that I'd love to go visit the team n watch them at a game sometime. I also said I need to go get a racket just to hit around with in college. He's like oh here take this racket and he gave me this racket he had in the closet. I was like uh whoa haha okay thanks. So that was pretty kewl. It was nice talking to him again and I think I'm going to see the tennis game Friday. Then we went to Mrs. Guttal's class and she was happy to see us. Haha we were all going around and sneaking up to the class room so she wouldn't see us walk up the ramp so we could suprise her. So we talked and we gave the class advice on how to handle calc and stuff. Then we went to Voss again and I saw Mrs. Nunes and we chatted briefly cuz she was in the middle of class. Then back to Mrs. Guttals to talk to her 5th period class. After that we left n went to Target to look at school stuff and I dropped Jan home.

Later on my dad was like hey you wanna go look for your phone? I was like okay. So we went to the ATT store near In N Out and looked at the phones n I got the 34.99 plan there n the Nokia 8265 phone. I was thinking of the new motorola one but it doesn't have games and I think the Nokia one is cooler. I got the gray color which is pretty. I'm happy now that I finally got a phone. Geez, I've been getting a lot of gizmos laterly. Not that I'm complaining, its kewl! Neato! Haha

At night me, my mom and my sis watched American Idol. Haha it was good I guess, they showed some funny clips about like the 5 worst, the 5 rudest, and so on. Yes! Kelly won! I thought she'd win by a landslide but it was pretty close, 58/42 vote. Still she won so its all good. She has a VOICE. She definately deserves to win. Haha my mom was so happy that she won. Kelly has been her favorite for a long time.

Thursday me, Jan and Jen went to Bed Bath and Beyond. It was quite neato there. I'd never been there before and its pretty kewl. Kinda packed with lots of stuff for the house. I looked at linens for school and saw some good deals. Didn't buy any, I'm gonna wait till I go with my parents. Jan was loaded haha. Me n Jan looked at a full length mirror and it was only $9.99!! Thats hella good compared to Target which was $19.99. We bought that and then we left. The cashier lady was very nice and she had this 20% off coupon I think and she scanned it so we only had to pay 8 something. Pretty good deal I must say.

So Jannie comes back to my house cuz Jen needs to go pick up Tina n drop her off at work. I feed Jan and I start the preparations for making sushi. Man! Making sushi took forever! I swear to god... We started at like 2:30 and we didn't finish till like 4:30. 2 Hours!! Man.. I'm sure my mom makes it a lot faster than that. Sheesh. Jen Long was tasting the rice to see if it was good or not cuz I never made sushi before haha. Turned out pretty good. I must give muchos credit to Jan, she did most of the work haha. She did a darn good job. After that we watched tv and hung outside in the backyard. My mom came home and then they left.

Later on that night I was talking to Vi online like around 9 something and she's like so how's your pass 2? I was like MOTHERF*CKER. I totally forgot about my pass 2, where I'm suppose to register for my 4th class. OMG I was so moritified by my idiocy. Stupid stupid stupid. I was like o crap and I frantically searched for a class that I could take as a GE requirement. Thank god for Vi, she helped me find some classes that I might want to take and helped me. So I registered for Humanities and got in so hopefully it'll be a good class. I have no idea what it's about though.

Friday I woke up at 9 to watch the Regis n Kelly show cuz they had Kelly Clarkson on there, the American Idol. Then I watched the View. I think the View is pretty funnie, I like it. Then I discovered there was tennis on tv so I watched the men's doubles final. The Venus vs. Mauresmo match was on afterwards so I took a shower and did the laundry before watching that. It was a pretty good game. I kinda wanted Mauresmo to win because Venus always wins but I didn't really like Mauresmo that much cuz she beat Jennifer Capriati. Mauresmo has a reaaaally nice one handed backhand though. Dang, it looked like Mauresmo was gonna win, it was match point for her! Venus was down love-40 and Venus power served 5 times straight to win. Crazy. Then the Serena vs. Davenport match was after that. I watched it but it wasn't that exciting. I wanted Davenport to win but she came back from knee surgery and wasn't doing so well. She was gettin her butt whupped by Serena. It was pretty sad, they finished the first set in only 22 mins and Davenport didn't have a single winner in that set. Pretty sad indeed.

Around 3:30 I went to Creek to watch the girls tennis team's preseason match. It was pretty good, they barely won over all though, 4-3. I watched Clare's entire match. I was so miserably watching it though... omg allergies were just killing me. I sneezed a million times, my eyes were watering, my throat itching, my nose was runny, then it was stuffed up. Oh man. It was just bad... But Clare won! 6-1, 7-5. Good job! So after we talked, man some of the stuff we talked about was hilarious. I dunno, that crazy girl. :] The match ended at 6 so thats when I left. Omg when I got home I took the contacts out of my eyes and rinsed them with water, arg they stung. It was burning. And then I rubbed my eyes, I know its bad but it felt sooooo good. Then they burned some more and watered and later on my eyes were really dry and it made me sleepy.

After I came home from the match I went online n I talked to Kim n cleared some stuff up and later on at night I talked to the guy I was mad at. I dunno where that conversation was going but then he had to leave so that was that for now.

This morning I woke up at 8 n got up. My mom was still home n I was talking to her a bit and I mentioned American Idol being on tonight and she was like oh! I'm so excited!! haha thats my mommy. Around 9 Jen picked me up and Jan and we headed to Santa Clara cuz Jen needed to drop off some financial aid stuff. I'd never been to Santa Clara before but I've heard stuff. The campus is beautiful. I really love it, its sooo nice, haha I guess all those private tuition fees goes to the scenery and landscaping. I would love to have Davis look like that. I'd definately enjoy it more. So we walked around look campus to get to this building. They have nice tennis courts but they only have 6 of em. They even lend out rackets for students to play with haha. Thats wat I'm talking about.

Then back to Jen's house so she could get Memento and sushi then to my house again to watch and eat. Sushi was super good! Yum yum yum! STUPID movie... I dunno... too many questions... I don't like the way it ended/started. Its too weird... confusing.. So yah we watched tv... gosh there's crap on tv. There was no Mama's Family on today! What a bummer! I love that show. After that I went to pick up my sis.

Yah know.. today my friend was telling me how someone used his social security number and his b-day to access his schedule at his school and cleared all his classes... thats hella fucked up. So now he has no classes and he's dealing with trying to add classes and figure out who did it. Dude... we have our suspicions. Still I can't believe this person would have the balls to do something like that. Its just fucked up. Let that be a lesson to u ppls, DON'T EVER give out your SSN. EVER!!!! Identity Fraud is the crime of millenium right now so...

2002-09-02T21:37:00.000-07:00

Sunday morning I went with my rents to Costco to look for a microwave and printers n stuff but we got neither. Instead I got a pocket dictionary thingie that is also an organizer. Mr. Zellner kept nagging all of us to go buy one and now I got one. Haha too bad I'm not in his class anymore. Bummer! Then we went to Kmart, geez! Never go there. Things are everywhere... the lines take forever... we waited in line forever, I am so serious its not even funnie. I don't even remember what I bought from there... Then off to Frys on brokaw road. It was the second time we were there in two days haha. I went looking for the wireless lan card and we looked at printers but nothing really appealed. We also looked at microwaves there and we ended up buying one there just cuz we were there. I liked the one at costco cuz it was pretty looking haha. It had green buttons... and they were pretty green too. If you know me... anything green catches me eye and if its pretty I'll really like it haha. But yeah instead of buying the pretty one I just said okay to the one at frys cuz I didn't wanna go all the way back to costco. After that I came home n ate n off I went to Angela's party.

Angela's party was really fun. Haha. First we just sat there n talked then the water fight started and it was like guys in the front vs us ppl in the back. Man it was pretty interesting. We were using guns but then it turned into a bucket and hose war. The guys hopped over the back fence to get us and Tony even climbed the roof. Ha mofo I saw them looking up and I got a heads up before he poured water down. The boys stole the ladder that we were using but that didn't helped them much cuz it moved it out of the way for us to run back n forth. It was hecka funnie I'd like wait next to the fence n when they came near I'd pour water on them. This one time these two guys thought they were slick crouching down next to the fence on the other side to avoid water from the hose. I saw them and pour this bucket of water right on em. Haha that was pretty good. Even adults got into it! This guy was squirting his wife and his wife grabbed the hose and ran after him.

Then as we dried off everyone ate and man... the guys were disgusting... They made up this concoction of soda, a1 sauce, ketchup, rice, noodles, vegetables, who knoes what else in a cup. And goaded each other into drinking it. UGH it was nasty looking. Tony drank it and he could barely hold it down. Then Khong, and Tam and they got Lydia to do it! Oh man... I can't believe she did it. Haha props to her but ugh it was gross. They're like come on Kim come on do it do it. I was like hell no thats NASTY. Angela thought it was stupid but she gave into stupidity and drank it too. She's like don't do it Kim its gross. Tony kept trying to get me to do it but eww no way. Maybe if there was something on the line but hell no if there's not. Later on I took a pic of all the ppl who did it and told them to hold up Ls on their foreheads haha.

After that Angela brought out her cake and we ate some of that good stuff. I like the coconut iceceam cake thats yummy. Then her aunt comes up to me and goes hey go get the waterballoons and get Angela. I was like koo haha so I grabbed some, Tony grabbed two cans of whip creme and started creaming her. This other girl joined in and other ppl threw waterballoons at her. Good stuff good stuff. Angela went inside for a shower n we all went out to the front for some football. Then back inside for some Marvel vs. Capcom. Finally we played guesstures but it took forever cuz ppl were singing and not listening to directions. It was too dark to see so we went to the back n tried again. My group was david, tony and richard. Richard is so sexy! hahahaha Ha we kicked ass! We sooooo whuupped sum butt. We won after two rounds. There were 3 groups of 4 ppl. Then we decided to make it interesting and put a wager on it. Loser has to do truth or dare, winner picks. I act first and Uhhhhhh my group is hellllllla tight we got all 4! We got the most points and in the end we got to pick what dare. The group that lost has one girl and 3 guys. So David and Richard came up with making them slow dance inside in front of the adults to an entire song. Oh boy was that good. The girl and guy pair were okay but the guy guy pair was hellla funnie. The adults were like wth... we were all watching from outside and we're like Spin! Spin! and then Dip! Dip! haha. Guys can't dip themselves very well cuz the other guy ended up on the floor.

After that we went outside for some pyrotechnics. Firecrackers were brought out and we lit em. The neighbor across the street came out and he was just standing there watching us. Haha oh well. Peter is crazy! He kept lighting the ones that hadn't gone off entirely. Man crazy mofo. Then after that we resorted to making mini bon fires with leaves n other stuff. We also burned cups which made big flames. So we hung n talked outside, it was sooo nice outside! A lil cold after awhile but it was real nice. Then I went home. I had a fun time though! I left my stuff at Angela's though. Bummer!

Oh yeah! On Saturday I saw two of my neighbors when we were shopping at all those places. I saw Neal at microcenter and I saw Ozzy at Circuit City.

Today we went to Office Max and I saw my other neighbor Mellanie but I don't talk to her. Office Max sucks... finding help is a bitch and its kinda unorganized. Not much there. N then I ate Burger King. I hadn't had that in awhile. Well thats all!

2002-08-31T12:28:00.000-07:00

Time to update! I hadn't really updated the past few days cuz nothing happened much. But now there's stuff to say!

Lets see... Thursday I was suppose to go to Tina's to scan pics and hang with her but she wanted to go to swim at Danvi's too but I was like nah I dun wanna swim cuz my skin is so yucky right now. So I let her go swimming and I went to Aileen's house. Jen Long called me up n told me to go over there, she offered to pick me up but I had to pick my sis up later so I took my car. We watched Momento or Memento I dunno how you spell it. That movie is a trip. HAha Jen was the only one who watched it before and it was so confusing, she didn't even get it and me, Aileen, Wilfred and Ant were asking her hella questions. We're like if he can't remember then how can he do this n that and all this other stuff. Haha We were all making fun of it n stuff. But as the movie progressed and we got the hang of it, it wasn't so bad. It started getting good and near the end but I had to go to pick my sis up. Darn. I'll finish the movie on monday. I wanna know wats happens... or how it started I should say. Its a Thriller movie so you kinda have to piece everything together. Jen thinks that guy is pretty kute... but then again she thinks a lot of ppl are kute but in my opinion they're not.

Friday I went to work from 11 till 4. Gosh the day was sooooooo slow it was so unbelievably boring! Since school was in no one came in. There were trickles of ppl here and there but OMG sooooo boring. I hate having nothing to do at work. And I hate pretending to act busy when I'm not really doing anything. Atleast I got to help this one customer. He was lookin for Khakis and I was organizing them at the time. I found the sizes he wanted and gave it to him n pointed him in the direction of the dressing rooms hehe. He ended up buying two pairs. Yay! Quick service.Thass right haha. So there's this guy at my work, his name is Brian. But I keep thinking his name is Andrew because his friend is Andrew and they were both hired at the same time. I think thats pretty kewl getting hired with your friend. I always mix those two up so I just don't use their names haha. They both went to Gunderson n Andrew is going to SJSU and Brian is going to be an apprentice to something I forgot. It had to do with sheet metal and contruction or something. Both dudes are pretty buff but I think Brian is pretty kute. I mean he's good looking, he's got the height and he's buff :]. So me n him were talking since there was nothing else to do. He asked me something about me having a boyfriend n I was like heh. Lets not get into that. He told me most of his relationships last a week or two. If you really think about it... does that even constitute as a relationship then? Cuz its only a week or two... thats like nothing. But then again I haven't reached that mark so haha. His longest was 6 months. Now thats more lasting. To me 6 months is forever.. I was like so how many girlfriends have you had? He was all quiet. I said ooo too many eh? Still silent. I was like so you're a ladies man eh? He kinda smiles n says I try not to be. Oooo. But then again with his looks I'd bet he has a long line of exs. Welp watever its not like I'd be seeing much more of him. I also gave Tracy my two weeks notice went I went to work. Sigh I'll miss working at Anchor Blue. Management was pretty kewl compared to my old job.

The last two hours of work was sooo slow and boring. Seemed like it'd never end. I was so hungry cuz I hadn't had a break and I hadn't eaten since 9 in the morn. So I don't remember what I was doing... probably just walking around when all of a sudden Kim walks up to me. I was like whoa what a pleasant suprise... so I thought... I guess I was so bored that I forgot I was kinda mad at her n so we talked a bit. And then she was in a rush to leave for practice.

I stopped by the tennis courts to see Clare n the tennis team but Clare left already and so I chatted with Ngoc a lil about what's been going on. I came home and ate like 4 Chips A Hoy cookies and that was my "lunch" at like 5pm. While I was eating Clarence called n we talked about what's up and when me n the davis ppl are gonna hang but oreo. Can't plan that far ahead.

So that same guy who I've been mad at IMs me last night n goes oh sorry I didn't greet you at your work cuz I was afraid you didn't want to see me. Ugh I think thats so disgusting. I have a distaste for cowards. And I told him so in other words and so we began to argue, which I didn't expect but whatever. Heh I shoulda known wherever she is he'd be somewhere around too. I was also talking to Vi at this time that wonderful girl. She was giving me advice and stuff n she told me I should tell him why I was mad n stuff. So I did. I told him straight up and more arguing. I must say it wasn't going so well and then he ran off.

To be honest, I was thinking maybe I should forgive him again, but that was before this argument ever occured. But I thought if I forgave him AGAIN than that would send the message that its okay to keep doing what's he's doing and whenever he'd do it I would just forgive him again. And of course I didn't want to send that msg so I just didn't say or do anything. But if things had turned out better I might have. I don't like going back on my word cuz I did tell him I wouldn't forgive him again after the first place but I don't know, maybe if things had turned out better. Oh well. Things are done and gone. We'll see what happens.

So Vi went to LA today. I hope she has a really fun trip. She went down there earlier this summer but she's going again cuz her Grandma is back with them and they want to take her sight seeing. Haha she was all telling me how she hopes she doesn't spend too much. Probably not since she already went earlier this summer n got what she wanted. I wanna go somewhere this labor day weekend!

I think today I'm gonna go look for dorm essentials, bedding, n wat not. Hmmm what to get what to get.. I don't even know what freakin dorm I'm gonna be living in yet. Shoot Davis said they'd let us know by labor day. I better find out today!

Okay so I'm updating today's blog. Dammit I didn't get word from Davis yet. But I went shopping for a comp all day and man we went everywhere! First to the Frys on brokaw, then to the Fry's near my mom's work place somewhere on Great America Parkway. And then we went to Micro Center and then we went to Good Guys and FINALLY Circuit City. Geez I was close to buying a laptop twice or so. Each time the box looked like it had been opened so we didn't get it. Then at Circuit City I got one! Yay so one thing down a million more to go. I still need bedding, and who else knows what. So I'm pretty happy. I need to go get a cell phone. Who wants to go with me? Let me know! That's all!

2002-08-28T16:37:00.000-07:00

This morning I went to Target with Jen Long and Jan. Neal wanted to tag along so he came and Keith did too. So we looked at school supplies and I totally forgot to look at stuff with Jan for our dorm room. Oh well, next time. Jen Long that dodo wanted to buy this expensive notebook when there were other notebooks for only 39 cents. Shoooot just cuz the other one had a silver cover. Dude, you're not being a smart spender! Then they wanted to go to Costco but I was going to Fry's with my neighbors. I found the guys in the magazine section probably looking at some guy magazine with half naked girls in it haha cuz Neal was trying to put away a magazine when he saw me. Lucy Liu was on the cover of Maxim magazine and I read the article on her.

We went to Neal's work for some Starbucks. I tried the Mint Frap. GROSS. Don't ever order that shit. Its nasty, it gets black chunks all over your teeth. YUck. I'll stick to caramel. Off we went to Fry's somewhere in Fremont. So Neal was showing me some of the comps that are good that maybe I should get for college. Ehh they were alright. They also showed me motherboards and what not but its not like I had a clue. Haha I just saw delicate things that I could break very easily. We also looked at some towers and the guys were practically oogling and drooling over these new towers. They were nice but a lil too big in my opinion. After that we went home since I was just lookin around. Oh yah at Fry's we were lookin at some stuff and these two guys were taking out a box. And one of the guys drops one of the boxes. His friend goes "Oh! Don't buy that one! hahaha" Me and Keith just looked at each other and laughed.

That's all for now.

2002-08-27T22:43:00.000-07:00

Whooo I'm updating for Tina Thai who checks my blog everyday! See Tina I'm not disappointing you!

Today I woke up at 6:30 cuz my sis has her first day at Silver Creek! Whoo hoo freshman! She was very noisy, and my mom was too. Gosh shuffling around n going thru drawers. So I dozed off and my mom came back home at 7:30 and I thought she had left. I heard rustling in the house and I was like okay either there's someone in the house or its my mom. I yelled out is that you mom since I was so lazy to get up. Ha if it had been a burglar I woulda just blew my advantage of suprise but ha its was mommy dearest. In fact after hearing me she popping in my room saying loudly "Yep Mommy is still here." After that she went downstairs made more noise and went to work. I couldn't go back to sleep so I got up.

Haha I tried to make my breakfast...biscuits from those can thingies. And I took one out of the freezer and read the instructions on how to make em. First thing: Do not freeze, refridgerate. Welp a lil too late for that. So while it baked I watched Moesha. It was kinda interesting so I neglected my biscuits for a bit. And boy did I pay. I got burnt biscuits. They were very brown, not black but brown. Still edible but very dry. Blech. I'll try again tomorrow morn. Yah know there are the funniest dumb things to watch in the morning. I forgot most of the stuff I watched but Ricki Lake's show was hilarious. Girls who dress like guys get a make over to look more feminine. Man I dunno it was really funnie.

Then I went to take a shower and Jen Long calls. Later on she comes over n we hang for a bit then decided to go to her house to watch American Gladiator haha. Jan calls her up and I went to pick up Jan. At Jen's house I read this hilarious article in the newspaper. Something about these women who asked men to lick their boobs and those men later woke up without their wallets haha apparently those women put some strong narcotic on their breasts which knocked the guys out and off with their wallets they went. So at Jen's we ate, watched tv. Her bro's tutor was suppose to show up but he was continually late so the second time I arrived at her hosue after picking up Jan, I said hey you should scare your brother and say its the tutor. Oops shouldn't have said that too loud because apparently the tutor had arrived and was in the next room. Haha sooo I didn't go into that room. :T

I picked my sis up from school and didn't do much else afterwards. American Idol was disappointing this week. The performances weren't that good but I'm still voting for Kelly! She better win. If she gets eliminated I'm not watching the show anymore.

Plus and afterthought from Tina....

procrasTlNAtion: yea when i'm online
procrasTlNAtion: LOTS OF TITTIES ALL OVER MY HOUSE YEA! THAT'S WHY ITS SO MESSY

hmm...makes you think huh?

2002-08-26T18:31:00.000-07:00

Whoa I haven't updated in 15 days! I guess I got really lazy and wasn't up for the mood to write. Hmm lets see, a lot has happened since I last wrote. I'll start from the recent to the later on stuff. Its hella long, just a warning.

Today, Monday, I went to work at 11 till 4. On my way there it was really strange. As I was merging on to 85 I see this motorcycle cop and he's making those siren noises and then he's followed by another cop and a 3rd cop. The 3rd cop is like parallel with my car and I turn to look at him and he looks at me and he makes this hand signal. I assume its slow down or stop. So I slow down. I'm like crap I hope I not I'm not getting pulled over. All of a sudden the car in front of me hits their brakes and like the whole line of cars who were merging on 85 came to a complete stop. I was like wtf... The cop in the beginning must have stopped the leading car and everyone else had to stop. But then finally after a min the cars started moving again and no one got pulled over and the cops were gone. It was really weird. I wonder what that was all about... At work Geez louise it was the first time I actually did stuff the entire time I worked, and it was the longest I've worked too. 5 hours yo. And I didn't get a break.. grr oh well. There were millions of go backs to put back on the hangers and stands, etc. Then there were like millions of t-shirts that Tracy wanted me to put back on the wall. Omg that took forever to put back. Sigh that took maybe two hours? I had to fold a millions t-shirts too so they can go back up. It made me cringe when ppl were looking at the shirts and opened them up. Ack! There goes all my work of folding haha so its kinda hard to see ur work messed up in a few secs. It got really busy at times and at other times it was slow. I swear customers like to come in a crowd. When there's a line there IS a line. And then after that, there's no one around at all. Haha strange. Liz says customers hate us haha. Finally I went home at 4:15 after talking to Tracy for a bit and I went home. I was so freaking hungry I hadn't eaten since the morning and luckily there were corn chips in my car from yesterday's grocery shopping so I ate some of that on the way home. I ate lunch at like 4:45 and now I'm really full. I wonder how I'll eat dinner. Tomorrow Silver Creek starts school again haha suckers! J/p I'd love to still be in high school. Maybe I'll go to creek tomorrow to see ppls. My sis will be a freshman, hope she survies! :]

Yesterday was Sunday and I went grocery shopping for two hours with my mom, we went to Savemart and Safeway. We bought lots of cookies haha damn I'm gonna get hella fat. We saw this water machine that costs only 10 cents per gallon so we tried that. Freakin a it took forever to fill up our like 14 bottles haha and there was this guy who was waiting to use it so he waited for a long while.

Saturday, I was suppose to work 10 - 3 but I walked into Anchor Blue and Liz was like you're crossed off for today. I'm like what? I'm suppose to work and so yeah that was confusing. So Liz let me work an hour and then she sent me home. Freakin a, what a waste of my time and gas! Shooot. She wanted me to work at night but I told her I couldn't work at nights.

That night I went out with Clare! We had always said we'd go out and eat together ever since my junior year but we never got around to it and we finally did on Saturday! I went to her house and talked to her mom for a bit. Her mom is so funnie, she hugged me when I came in and we talked about college, where I was going, and Clare. I gave her her delayed b-day present :] Then her Mom left to her dancing class and we left too. We went to Red Lobster around 6:45 and suprising the wait was only 5 mins compared to the usual half hour + that we'd have to wait on Saturdays. So we sat down and looked at the menu n talking about how we love the bread there haha and when the waitress came to give us our drinks she didn't have our bread! And she was about to leave so I asked her if we could have our bread and Clare busted out laughing saying I gave in and ask. I told her WATEVER she knows she wanted the bread too but she's like yah but you gave into asking first. >:P watever Clare atleast I got us our bread haha. So me and her talked a lot about many things and it was really nice just catching up with her. I hadn't really seen her since my b-day party and it was so hectic that I didn't get to talk to her much. I think we got a lil noisy chattering sometimes but oh well it was fun! Haha. When we finished we were trying to figure out how to pay the bills and add the tip in. It was hilarious I was like come on Clare go ask those ppl over there how you include the tip. Because I know you don't just leave the tip on the table. Haha so it was pretty funnie we were arguing about it for awhile and so we decided to leave the tip in the folder. Clare gave it to the waitress and we got up to leave. The waitress was like I'll be back with your change and I told her no its okay. Haha so we left going ehh lets go before we find out we're wrong or something :] Oh yah when we went to our table to be seated earlier, I thought I saw this guy that looked like Hieu cuz he had that mischievious glint in his eyes and so I backtracked and looked and then I realized it wasn't him and Clare followed me too. We're like opps haha and went to our table which was close to their table and so Clare scooted in so they couldn't see her haha.

Clare only played pool like once before so we had decided to go play pool at Edgies. On our way there on Capitol at a red light, there was this kid who was just bouncing around in the car next to us and Clare was like dang that kid is rocking haha and we're like hmm we wonder what he's listening too. So I lower the volume in my car and I roll down my window since its closest to that car and we couldn't really hear n we busted up laughing and the kid was looking at us. I rolled the window back up and we were watching the kid. Then the kid looked at me and I started bobbing my head too and the kid looked away haha that kid's cool. Off we went to Edgies but dude, by habit when I drive to Milpitas its always to the Great Mall so I accidentally drove there and realized dammit I passed the street I'm suppose to turn on to get to Edgies so I had to make a U turn.

We got there and got a table, muhaha I kept scratching the ball I swear, I'd sink one with the cue ball sinking in too. Boy we played soo bad. Clare's got an excuse cuz she's never really played before but I sucked like a mofo haha but I didn't mind cuz it was with Clare and I had lots of fun with her. Our first game took about half an hour! Haha she was winning the entire time and she only had to sink the 8 ball to win but she kept missing and I caught up and won. Whew. Our second game was the same as the first haha slowly but surely. I saw Sarah's bro there Charles with his "coffeeshop" friends I guess. Mmm me n Clare we hella laughing and I think ppl kept staring at us but oh well, much fun it was. At 10 we left and I drove her home. The moon was full but was missing an edge to it haha. So I dropped her off and was half way down delta rd when I realized Clare left the food in my car so I made a U turn n went back to give it to her. N that was the end to a fun night. I hadn't had that much fun in awhile and it was nice to spend some time with her again.

Friday was a very busy day for me. I woke up at 6:30 and went with my mom and sis to my mom's work place since it was parent child work day. I got to experience the joys of morning traffic and merging on to 101 with the meter lights on. I SWEAR those mofo cheaters! I saw hella cheaters drive in the carpool lane by themselves shooooot. I understand if you're hella late or something but if you're just going on there just to get outta line then thats wrong. Too bad there weren't any cops to catch em. The lady behind me putting on makeup and she was steering her call all weird she kept going crooked off the the shoulder then back on to the road. At my mom's work I felt soooo outta place cuz dang I was the oldest! Shoot! All these lil kids still in elementary school and uh here I am... high school graduate... Duurrr. We went around and I got to wear a bunnie suit and go into a fab n clean room to look at machinery and stuff my mom does. Then we went to her cubicle which was more fun than the other stuff. Got introduced to many of my mom's co worker. One man was very funnie in particular. He's all asking my mom "So is today Parent child work day or something?" And my mom's like "Yah its bring your children to work day." He said "Oh man I blew that one..." hahaha that was hilarious. And then we talked to this lady afterwards and she told my mom "Oh you're such a good parent bringing your kids to work look at all these guys who forgot their kids." haha it made that guy even more funnier.

So 11 ish we left my mom's work so she could do some of her work. Since my mom works really close to Mercado I took my sis to Jamba Juice for drinks. Then I drove her to Eastridge cuz she was suppose to meet her friends there n go out. I went to the post office to mail my transcript and I went with my sis to get her glasses adjusted. I looked at stuff in Express and saw Ngoc, and old friend who moved to a different high school. Then I waited with my sis for half an hour before one of her friends showed up n I finally left her. I went to the bank then to pump gas.

I went home and talked to Jen Long and headed to her house since her and Jan were gonna bake some apple thing. We ended up watching tv and making fun of the stuff on there. Oh oh we watched American Gladiator! Dude! Its been ages since I saw that show, it still rocks! Haha it was a close competition between the guys. Jen ended up feeding me and Jan gave me two apples. I left around 2:45 n went home.

Later on that night I was talking to the person I was mad at a few weeks before but I forgave him. I told him yeah I had work the next day but later on he asked me if I wanted to go to the beach the next day... and he's like can you get out of work?..... hello I just told him I had work and its like 10 at night how am I gonna get out of work.. I was like who are you going to the beach with but of course I already had a good idea who was going. That totally made it dumb. He's like oh they just found out that they can go to the beach today and so thats why he's asking me if I can go. I think that's bullshit. I told him well obviously he had talk to this other person about it before hand because they had to ask their parents in order to find out if they could go to the beach or not. And I got mad cuz wtf, how are you gonna ask me to go to the beach at the last minute? The night before? I have to ask my parents and I have to arrange stuff at work too. That is so thoughtless. Then he said oh that other person was doing the inviting and he just asked if he could bring his friends along too. BULLSHIT My logic is that how can that other person do the inviting if they just found out today from their parents that they could go to the beach? Why would they invite ppl to the beach if they don't know if they can go themselves? PLUS even if they were doing the inviting, why didn't they invite me? Which brings us back to the point of leaving me out again which was why I was mad at this guy in the FIRST place. So this whol thing comes full circle and I'm pissed off because obviously boy genius got it all wrong again. Blew his chance after I forgave him. Some might say oh well atleast he asked you. But did he really ask me? Maybe he just asked so he can say he asked so I can't say he didn't try. But that's dumb, if you ask, you have to genuinely ask. Not ask for the sake of asking. I basically bit his head off about it. GrrR >:[ So I don't know what I'm gonna do about it right now. Psh this is so frickin dumb. Plus like I said the next day I ended up only working an hour from 10-11 so I still coulda made it to the beach but oh well cuz why would I want to spend time with ppl like that? Right now I'm trying not to say stuff I'll regret later on but we'll see.

Thursday I ended up waiting an hour at EVC to get my transcript sheesh the line was freaking long I shoulda known. Good thing Jen Long was with me to keep me company n chat with.

Wednesday I blew $120 at Anchor Blue on school clothes and stuff. Boy they burned a hole in my pocket dammit I wasn't suppose to pay that much but the guy wouldn't give me my full discount grr. I'll get a price adjustment soon. Shoot. Tina accompanied me to the mall and she was a BROKE ASS it was so freakin funnie. She wanted to buy stuff at American Eagle, like 40 bucks worth of stuff but she had 3 bucks on her and she thought 10 bucks in her debit account. She tried using the visa on her card but it declined. so she had to put the stuff on hold. it was sooo sad haha. THEN we went to Old Navy and she really wanted this shirt ($19.50). I still had 10 bucks from my shopping spree and I lended it to her. She figured with my 10 with her 10 in the account and the few bucks on her she could cover it. NOT. HAHAHA her debit card declined AGAIN. She didn't even have 10 bucks in her account. She tried 8 bucks and that went thru so she had to borrow a dollar from my sis. That was so sad. I was like man tina u suck. I worry about you cuz you're gonna be one of those college students who get out with a huge ass debt from credit cards. The lady behind us was laughing when I said that. Its true though Tina's gonna go crazy. She wants all these store cards too. Sheesh.

Monday I worked 9-1.

Wed - Friday of the week before I went to my Davis orientation. Freakin A I met so many smart ppl. Its like damn. I felt hella dumb being around them. Most of them got 5's on AP calc ab and bc, chem, phyics. Geeeeez. Smart asses. My roommate was Megan. She went to Milpitas High. She's a track athlete but she played on the badminton and b-ball team for one year. She's freaking good in everything. We were bowling and she has crazy aiming. It was so embarassing, the balls weren't the right size for me so they were too heavy and the holes were too far apart so I had a hard time getting a good grip. One time I swung my arm back and the ball flew backwards. HAHAAH oh man it was sad! Good thing I didn't hit no one. That night this guy Clarence started talking to me. The next day between our placement tests we played pool with his friend Lin n Megan. DAmn they're all good at pool, and I sucked! But I must admit I was playing a lot better than I usually did. My roommate is a hussler in pool! Frealz she racked up hella balls in a row. She practically beat the boys single handedly. And she claims she hadn't played in awhile and didn't have her glasses so she couldn't see that well. Sigh Okay I wrote too much, tired. That's all for now byebye.

2002-08-11T16:52:00.000-07:00

Friday so rocked. I had nothing planned at all the entire day, went online, watched tv, the usual. While I was online Sarah imed me and she was like yah what are you up to. And so we talk and she's like I'll come visit you and I was like kewl! Later Tina ims me to see if I want to go swimming but I told her I dun think chlorine would be good for my skin, especially since I'm peeling and crap right now. I asked who was going but she said she hadn't ask very many ppl yet. I was like hey why don't you come over to hang with me and Sarah. Tina was like alright kewl n so blah blah. Tina, Thuy Le, Sarah, and Maria went to go play pool n then came to my house. I couldn't go cuz I had guests coming over. So they come by bringing... the forbidden food.. TO MY KITCHEN. Those mofos brought KFC over and ate it all happily in front of me. Aiyah. Thuy Le didn't come cuz she had to go home.

So I'm standing there eating my chicken friends and Maria goes hey we got you this drink from tapioca express. I'm like aww how nice of you. I take a sip, GROSS. Its hella nasty. So everyone's like so how does it taste? I'm like... interesting..... and then Maria spills the beans about the drink. She's like oh yah I bought it thinking it was gonna be good, its Chocolate Pudding fyi, and she's like it tasted hella gross so she was gonna throw it away at KFC but sarah's like nah nah give it to a homeless person, and then they had the bright idea of saving it for me. Haha thanks u guys... and then Jannie comes over and we're like HEY JAN! we got a drink for you! hahaha so she drinks it after a few suspicious moments and she thinks its gross too.

We tried to play DDR but my ps wasn't cooperating for some reason so we ended up playing uno for like what 2 and a half hours? It was hella fun though. At first the only ppl who won were me and Tina and everyone else was like ahhh. Sarah was sooo freakin slow haha turtle! She never knew when it was her turn and by the time she was about to put a card down someone would intercept. I felt so bad for Sarah, she just kept drawing cards cuz everyone would put down like a draw two or draw four and she'd be the only one without a card and she'd have to pick em all up. Haha Sarah is hilarious she yells when she puts down cards. Soon Sarah started catching on and she intercepted a few times, each time yelling AHHH really loud and everyone's like whoa. Haha she yells like she's down to her last card and about to win or something when in fact she has on fourth of the deck in her hands haha. Maria was just on a bad losing streak she could not win. Eventually Jannie won twice and Sarah once. Everyone cheered when Sarah won and then near the end Maria finally won one. We got pretty loud in my house haha but it was all the more fun.

It was 11 something and everyone started leaving. Maria had pics of when me her, tina and the guys went to go play pool and I looked at em before they left. I also saw some scandalous pics when it was Justin's b-day and Brian Le had make up put on him and a dress and gave Justin a lap dance. Sarah was acting like she was gonna leave Maria and she kept backing up and moving foward and Maria couldn't get in haha. That Sarah I tell you, she's outrageous.

So earlier that day while I was online talking to them, the person I am mad at ims me again and they talked about why they might have left me out or whatever. But I wasn't really trying to hear it. Like I said, I give the person credit for trying to talk to me and stuff but it makes me mad everytime I think about what they did. And I'm seriously thinking if I should be friends with people who are so thoughtless. If I forgive them this time, wouldn't they just do it again at a later date? And besides, what they did really shows me what kind of character they have. Now I know how they truly are, so it shakes my trust in them. Sigh. And while I was having this conversation with this person I was thinking... If I'm mad at them, why aren't I mad at another person in this group. I told this other person that I wasn't mad at them anymore but now that I think of it... I should be mad because they were a part of it too. They could have called me up to hang or whatever too but they didn't. So maybe its time to set my priorities straight. This second person has done some nice things for me, but they've also done some stuff that's not so great so... sigh I dunno what to do. I guess I'll just talk to this other person separately. Yah know, it sucks having friend problems. My advice to you ppl who read this... avoid complications like this as much as possible.

Saturday I went to work from 2-5 and it was pretty boring. I walked in small circles around the front of the store greeting ppl and rearranging stuff from time to time. Sometimes I just will a customer to mess up the t-shirts so I will have something to do like fold them back and stuff. This one customer came in and I smiled and greeted him and on his way out later he smacked me on the arm a bit to get my attention and he smiled bye. At first I turned around I was like who the hell did that and then I saw him and I was like oh customer... Weird... very weird. I also saw this lady who last time I worked bought stuff but this time she wanted to exchange them. Another guy came in and said hey can you find me that shirt on the display. So I got it for him in the size he wanted and he's like yah can I get jeans in size 11? I'm like uh sure what kind are you looking for? So I show him different jeans that are size 11s. This is for some girl I dunno who but yeah he just came in and pretty much bought whatever I suggested. I ended selling him 4 shirts and 3 jeans. Muhaha pretty good eh? I thought that was so strange though cuz he just walked in and he's like yah find me jeans and shirts n stuff. I gues he didn't care how much it costed either cuz he never asked for the price. I told him about our Anchor Blue sale buy any AB brand and get the other half off. So I saved him some mula there. I got off of work and it was only 5:30 and I was gonna go visit Kim but I figured she's never home anyway so I just went home. I finally washed my car that evening. Ever since it sat out in the parking lot when we went to Hawaii it was hella dirty. Shoot it was hard looking thru the dust covered windshield. Its all nice and shiny now!

Speaking of Hawaii, I forgot some details. On the way there I sat next to this white lady and she was really nice. Chatty but not too chatty. I found out that she's pregnant and she lives in Hawaii. But she has an accent. She was on her way home from North Carolina, some business thing plus she visted her bros and parents there I think, hence the accent. She's married to a Hawaiian dude who is a surfer and surfs every chance he gets and they and lives on the island of Kauai. She has a sister who lives on Oahu and they're very close. I never caught her name but she's very nice. She bought Ghirhardelli chocolate for her husband cuz he loves it but she ended up eating it during the flight haha she even offered me n my sis some but we said no thanks. I forgot what I had remembered what I left out so yeah.. next time I remember I'll write it up. So far thats all! Check back later!

2002-08-08T22:39:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was boring, didn't do anything but it was a really nice evening. At 9:30 I watched American Idol to see who got the boot. DANG I wanted Justin off but he was safe, so then I wanted RJ off but damn he didn't get off either though it was down to him and Christina. So yah Christina got booted and RJ was crying. What a wuss. THe judges thought he shoulda been the one to go and I agree! See! I have pretty good judgement haha.

Today I went to Silver Creek to request a transcript and I was like awwww I hadn't been back since graduation and I am no longer a part of this school. Its so sad :[ I feel kinda lost like I've lost my ground. Anyway the personnel are still blah, unfriendly secretaries geez. Afterwards I headed to EVC to request a transcript there too. As I was going back on YB road I was thinking man cops never patrol this section cuz its still behind the school, not over the bridge yet and ho ho ho what do you know, a cop pulls behind me. But HA! I was going 40 mph speed limit! Got nuthin on me! So yah he was going pretty fast though, maybe he was in a rush to go arrest someone or wat not. I went home afterwards but the sun made me really hot by the time I got home.

In the afternoon I went online for awhile and the person that I was mad at before imed me again asking what should they do to get back in my good graces. Again I told them it was up to them what to do because they have to think about it and thats what makes it meaningful. They wanted to start over but I told them I can forgive but I never forget so that wouldn't be appropriate. So they still haven't apologized and they changed the subject, but whatever, thats how it goes.

I was talking to Kim around the same time I was talking to this person and she asked if she could come over. I told her it'd be nice to hang out in the evening so she said she'd come over then. So 7:30ish she comes over to hang. It was fun! I called Neal out to hang. We played uno and talked. Its pretty hard to play uno at night even with the street light above us, we couldn't tell green from blue till we put the card down haha. FREAKIN KIM U MOFO. she won like a million times, she's bad luck, I can't win sitting next to her. Man EVEN NEAL won once. I was on a major losing streak and I finally won the last game. Haha but geez, I mean one lousy game outta the million games we played. My butt hurted from sitting on the cement for so long.

Neal was suppose to go hang with a friend at 8:30 but his friend called and cancelled, he went off to talk to her on the phone for a lil bit in the middle of one of our games and I was like oh he's not hear skip his turn. Kim protested and I told her ahh who needs neal and kim said "But I need him." I was like whooaaa hahahaha. The way she said it made her sound so needy. She made some other comment that was funnie too but I don't remember what it was.

Kim brought me Aloe straight from her backyard. Haha she like chopped off the biggest leaf on her plant and gave it to me. I was like whoa I thought she was gonna chop off a small leaf or something, this is huge! Its almost the length of my arm I think. I'm not sure how to use it, she said peel it and apply? So yah... but thanks kim, thoughtful of you. My peeling is so gross though. Yuck.

So me, Kim and Neal were outside talking and Ozzy pulls up and he hangs for a lil bit. We're standing outside arguing what name Kim should have. OH yah and Kim was trying to figure out the Country which Neal's last name is a capital of. The answer is PARAGUAY kim. The country next to it is Uraguay. Kim wanted Daffney, Tamarya, and something.. I thought they weren't very good names. We can't think of a girl name for Neal. Hmm Nefertiti? Hahaha I gotta tell him that one. Okay so that's all. Don't want to type much.

2002-08-06T22:52:00.000-07:00

Well, the past few days have gone by but I haven't updated so I will now. Saturday I finally went to see Austin Powers Goldmember with my boys! Yep yep my kewl neighbors. Ahhh those guys, they're so sweet. They hella wanted to see it the day it opened but I went to Hawaii that day and I was like if u wait one week I can go with you guys. And they thought about it for awhile and said okay we'll wait for you. Isn't that kewl? THey waited one whole week just to see the movie with me :]! You guys are super kewl. I was all worried they couldn't resist the temptation and just go watch it hehe I wouldn't blame them though. But they waited n we went to see it at Great Mall. Man the movie is hella funnie, I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it but I will say the Japanese Corporation part was hella funnie in my opinion. I thought that was the best part and Fat Bastard. So after the movies I was hungry so I ate McDonalds though I didn't want to cuz of eating straight junk food for a week in hawaii. Then we went to Starbucks and I tried the caramel macchiato. Its pretty good! I like it. But its coffee so I dun think I'll be drinking that much.

I thought we were gonna go play pool at Edgies afterwards but Neal was like nah we're going to Flo's house. I'm like what?! Cuz I dunno who Flo is, I've only heard of the guy and stuff but I've never met him. Plus I wouldn't really want to go to ppl's houses that I dunno but Neal was already driving there so I didn't have a choice. Flo lives in Sunnyvale and so we headed over there. When we arrived apparently he left his front door open so Neal tried to sneak n and scare em. But that didn't work too well and me n Keith went in. I felt really awkward when I was in the house, I said hi to the the two guys there. I didn't catch the first guy's name n we went to Flo's room where I introed myself to him. We sat on his bed while he was on his comp doing something. We started watching this Chinese movie cuz Keith wanted to show us a scene were the guy rips his own arm off to do this move. I thought it was pretty dumb. Then we went on to watch this Anime called something Kenshin. Its really good! I hecka like it thought its kinda violent. Its about an ex assassin who voweled not to kill anymore but things arise and he's called on to kill someone. I wanna see more of it. After watching a couple of episodes we went home. The guys ragged on Matt for not coming along to watch the movie n stuff with us. I've heard Matt has since regretted not going haha.

Lets see, Sunday nothing really happened. There was a meeting at work that I had to go to at night at 8. I went and it was pretty boring. THey had food but I ate before I came so I was super full. Then they went bowling but it was too late and I had to go home. They gave us shirts to wear while we worked on the weekends. Pretty kewl. I also learned that we'll be getting discount cards to give to our friends for one certain weekend but I dunno when that is. I also get an additionally 50% discount on a pair of denim jeans. Pretty kewl. I think I'll be going shopping soon.

Monday nothing either. I took my sis to the library real quick since something was due that day.

Today is Tuesday, I seem to keep losing track of my days, nothing happened either. I played Uno with my sis and DDR. SHe kicked my butt in DDR and we were playing on the remote controls. So a person imed me today, someone I've been mad at for quite awhile now and asks me if I'm angry with them. I told them yes and they said sorry. I told them they didn't even know what they're being sorry for since they never asked me why I was mad. They had a hunch on why and they guessed right which suprised me. So the person asked me if I wanted an apology for not and I told them its up to them. If I said I wanted an apology and they gave it, it would be less meaningful because I had requested it. If they had just apologized on their own then it might have been better. And I left the person to think about it before they apologized or not.

While I had this conversation with the person, I debated whether or not I should allow them into my good graces again. I'm still not sure. The person was a friend who was kewl to go out with and stuff like that, had one or two meaningful conversations with, but I don't know. What the person did still ticks me off. Thought it is not entirely that one person's fault. A few others are involved in it as well so this person is one of a few. But again atleast this person tried to contact me and make minimal conversation online while the others have not said a thing to me. During our minimal conversations I haven't exactly been friendly but hey, atleast I'm talking to the person right? Shoot, they're lucky I am replying. Normally I'd keep right on ignoring the person I'm mad at. Right now it could go either way, I guess it depends on them and how I feel about it. If the person decides not to apologize then oh well not much that can be done, if they do and I accept, well that's good and maybe the friendship could be stronger or it could be kinda weird but we'll just have to see.

Toodles!

2002-08-03T23:23:00.000-07:00

I am back from Hawaii so its time to update. Whew its gonna be a long one. It'll probably be broken into parts cuz I'm not gonna even try to type everything out. I probably forgot most of the stuff I wanted to write about too so haha.

Well, last Friday, the 26th, I went to Hawaii. On the way to SFO I saw two fighter jets flying around, I was like whoa cool! I never saw F-16s that close. We were passing by Moffet Field where there was going to be an airshow over the weekend. So we flew to Hawaii on the 4:30pm flight and it took about 4 hours and 59 mins to get there according to the pilot. There was this half way to hawaii game where passengers calculated the exact point where we would reach the halfway point to hawaii. The guy who sat in front of me won the game and was only off by 3 secs. He won a bottle of champange. The guy in front of him to the left won second place and also received the same thing. Must be engineers haha. So I arrived in hawaii around 6 something almost 7 and it was still a lil bright outside. Ahh I love the feeling when I step off the plane and you automatically feel that tropical air hit u. Its a wonderful feeling. You know you're in hawaii when you feel it. We got our luggage n got a taxi to our hotel. OMG it was the same taxi driver who drove us to our hotel last year and man he's so annoying! I mean I know he doesn't mean to be, he's only being friendly but BAH! He talks so freaking much and I can barely understand what the hell he's saying. He blabs on about the hawaiian history or places we should visit but we're like yah we've seen it or we know or watever. We finally reach our hotel and go to our room. It was on the 3rd floor. We unpacked and changed n went walking to the beach n to the International Market place. We went to our hotel around midnight there which would be 3 am over here in Cali. That night I couldn't freaking sleep cuz I dunno wtf the ppl above us were doing but they were making hella noise n crap. Bah! So the next morning we asked for a room change.

In the morning we went to the beach and it was nice as usual. We always go to this certain area at the beach. The water is cold in the morning but it warms up as the day progresses. After the beach we ate lunch n changed to a different room on the 10th floor, walked around again, got dinner, walked some more, n then went back to sleep. The next morning we went to the Ala Moana mall. Its a really big mall, 4 stories with all sorts of stuff. A lot of designer stores that are waaaay to expensive to afford but nice to look at haha. We went home without buying anything cuz I didn't see anything I really wanted n neither did my sis. We went back home and slept till evening. We got food, ate, n then went to the beach. My sister wanted to swim at night so she changed n went swimming at the beach. I just wadded in the water. For the next few days all we did was go to the beach, n walk around. While everyone took naps I just sat out on the balcony watching the ppl move about below and listen to music.

The one thing I love to do in hawaii is sit on the balcony. It gives me a sense of peace just sitting there enjoying the weather and relaxing. Just doing nothing. And thats something that I usually don't do. If you think about it, our lives are pretty hectic even in the summer, we're always on the go, having to do something. And sitting on the balcony just kinda slows everything down. Its funnie to watch people too. Across the street to the right there is an arcade called Fun Factory and there's a DDR machine next to the window so I can see kids dancing. Lots of ppl walk back n forth with beach stuff like air mattresses and tubes, towels, surfboards, etc. Others wait at the bus stops, get on, off. Many go in groups for tours and what not. Right across the street in front of me is a grocery store called the Food Pantry. I noticed after a few days that there is this one old lady who shops there everyday and she pushes her cart out to the side of the store and stands there for a long time. Finally when she sees a taxi coming, she waves to them and they pull over. She usually buys about 5 bags of grocery, all of which the taxi driver loads into his car. And on one particular day I was watching her, she needed help getting down the curb so she asks the driver to help her. He gives her his arm and she slowly gets down and he helps her into the car. Then they drive off. I think its kinda nice that she still goes off on her own, not needing anyone to go grocery shopping with her or anyone to drive her. She just catches a cab when she needs a ride. Now thats independence :]

Sitting on the balcony I can also see some of the beach but its a bit off. To my left down the street is the Ala Wai canal. That really fun to watch in the evenings. When I was a kid I use to watch it alll the time in the evening. I like to watch the kayakers (i dun think i spelled that right but u get the idea) go up and down the canal. Its really amusing because there's about 6 ppl in each kayak and its a syncronized sport. Everyone has to do their part and paddle in sync. Well, the person in the back is very funnie to watch cuz they're the ones that slack off. Since they're in the back no one can see what they're doing or what they're not doing. So they don't always paddle when everyone else is working their butts off. I think I've only seen like one or two back ppl do their jobs entirely. Most of them don't paddle or paddle once in awhile and then rest and then continue. Haha if I were the back person I'd probably slack off a lil too. So when you kayak try to get the back seat! haha. I also like counting how many kayakers I see that evening. The highest I counted was 11 but I only watched the canal for like 20 mins.

Another thing I counted when i was in hawaii was Celicas. I dunno I guess I do it to keep from boredem. Celicas are freaking rare in hawaii. I counted like 11 in the 7 days I was there. And some of them I think I counted twice cuz it was the same car I saw again. I think I decided to count Celicas since they were rare in hawaii and other models were too abundant. I did see two vipers n a couple of corvettes. One year I counted 99 mustangs from home to hawaii, there and back. My goal was 100 but I fell short one. Haha yeah I'm a weirdo shush.

On the third day my parents and sister wanted to go to Chinatown but I thought it was too nice of a day to not spend at the beach. So my parents let me go to the beachat 11:30 and I spent like 5 hours there. It was really fun, well as fun as it can get I suppose being by myself and all. I was in the water for awhile before I got cold and then I went up to warm up again and just sat there. There was a lady sitting near me who was reading a book called Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong. I was like ooo that was one of the books Mr. Zellner suggested we should read. I was gonna ask her about it but I was like nah dun wanna bother her. After awhile I decided to go down to the water again. I tan easily in the water so yah haha. More time in the water n then I finally went up when I decided to grab something to eat for lunch. I went to McDonalds for lunch. I already had breakfast there in the morning n I was going blech lunch here again? But I didn't want to walk all the way to subway. I ordered a hamburger n small fries. They gave me like a medium sized fries and told me it was their smallest one.... I was like.... I knew I couldn't finish it. Then I was like hey lets go to Starbucks for a caramel frap. Now I had been craving a caramel frap for days and I was okay a few blocks will be worth it. So i got my frap and when I sipped it... OOooOoOo heaven. Ahhh it was sooo good. Yum yum yum.

I went back to my spot on the beach and ate. Then I notice this guy sitting on the rocks near me. I didn't pay much attention to him but then something white caught my eye and I turned to the side a bit and OMG he caught a pigeon and he was petting it. I was gonna bite something mean n go why do have the bird or something but I didn't n continued to eat my lunch to see wat he'd do with it. I was worried for the bird cuz it kinda struggled to get away from him. He was like whoa wanna go already? to the bird n I turned to him n he smiled. I was like why do you have that bird? He's like oh cuz I was feeding it and I caught it. Don't worry I'll let it go soon. I gave him half a smile n turned away. If he hadn't said he was gonna let it go soon I probably woulda demanded him to do so. Later he was talking to his dad and sister near the water n he threw the bird up and it flew away. I bet you that bird won't be coming close to ppl anytime soon. I sat there for a long time and the sun started to beat down on me and I covered myself with a towel to block the rays. The great thing about hawaii is that when ur in the sun its hot but when u get behind some shade its fine. It was really humid that day and after sitting there I felt it was time to go. So i went home around 4:30 n I found my parents n sis already home from chinatown. They told me they ate at a really good pho restaurant there.

The other day I noticed these ppl and man ever heard of the term "schmoozing"? Well damn these ppl schmoozed like crazy. It was annoying! Oh yah we're here again how yah doing? There was this one guy who had an accent, I dunno where he was from but he knew these ppl and one of the lady recognized him. He's like "oh Hiii there how yah dooin? Back here agaaain? I totally didn't recoognize you. You loook fabulous. Oh yaw you picked a really good week to come it was cloudy the past two weeks." And he told her a million times "Yaw I'm sooo happppy you're here" Geez these ppl. N I guess they were trying to show how rich they were cuz they were wearing their jewelry to the beach! Come on now... even in the water. One of the guys sat on the air matresses and popped it cuz he was too heavy haha. But the guy with the accent wasn't wearing jewelry. I noticed he comes to the beach everyday and wears a white hat. He wears his shorts funnie too. BUt oh well, watever floats ur boat.

So I think it was the second to last day in hawaii, my sister and I met this Indian lady who was from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. She asked us where she should go sight seeing and what not since we'd pretty much seen most of the things here in hawaii, being that we've been here 19 times. In my opinion she chatted too much but my sister didn't mind and kept talking to her while I just la dee da-ed around. Now at the beach where I usually go, its surrounded by rocks designed to break the incoming waves, however there is a section where the rocks are below the water allowing the waves and surfers to come in. When you walk to that area it suddenly becomes deep and u can go under because it goes from shallow to deep within a step. The Indian lady suggested that we go to the deeper area where the waves come in. So we're like sure n wander over there. She continues to talk with my sis while I just la dee da. After awhile I noticed some splashing and I thought I saw an arm reach for my sister. I turn to my right and I see this lady who is submerged underwater and holding her son who was like 6 yrs old, above the water. Her face is tilted up and she's going bbbbb. I'm like WHOA. Without thinking I just went under the water to her and grabbed her around the waist and lifted her up for air. I tried to swim to the shallow area cuz she stepped into the deep part. For a moment while I was trying to swim n pull the lady to the shallow area I opened my eyes underwater. I never open my eyes underwater cuz 1, it stings, 2, I have contacts. But I closed them n kept swimming. Finally I got to a part where I could put my feet down and I went up for air. My sister gave the lady and her son her body board so they could grab on n we took them to the shallow area. I asked the lady in japanese if she was okay but she was too busy coughing. She later thanked me in english so I dunno if she was japanese or not. I only assumed she was japanese cuz like over half the tourist population is japanese. She started retreating to the shore and I let her go cuz she looked flustered and embarassed.
Later on I went up and I looked around for the lady cuz I wanted to see if she was okay. But she must have gone home already. Hmm. I wonder what happened to her afterwards. But I'm glad I saved her. I feel proud of myself for helping her. I didn't even get her name. I know that anyone in my position would have done the same thing or if they couldn't swim, atleast call for help. I'm just happy I helped someone out when they were in trouble. I hope its kharma and when one day I'm in some type of situation, someone will help me out. Its kinda funnie cuz when I grabbed her around the waist a thoguth crossed my mind what if she panicks and pulls me down with her n I thought about grabbing her around the armpits but I was like nevermind cuz that'd take a second too long and when someone's drowning, time isn't something you can really spare. All of this crossed my mind in the flash of a second while I was trying to pull her to the shallow area. :] Well, I'm happy I made that lady's day.

So beach again the last day, and at night I ran around looking for gifts for ppl I had promised for their b-days. I was so mad cuz this one place I really wanted to go to was closed and I had to find some other place to get the gifts. Grrr mofos. The next morning I woke up at 4 in the morn, we went to the airport at 4:30. You'd be suprised by how many people are out on the streets at 4 something in the morning. I thought it'd be empty but then again this is hawaii. There was a used condom lying on the floor in the street, that was gross. Oh yah did I mention I never see prostitutes till I go to hawaii? Yep plenty of hos over there. And trust me, you know in a tropical area with beachs ppl tend to under dress and stuff like that but you KNOW when its a prostitute. Sometimes they dress really slutty but sometimes they dun too much. But all they same they're in the same profession. And another thing I noticed about them, they're all tall!! What is this?! How come they get to be tall? Man. I wanna be tall. Why do they get to be tall when they're not doing such a great thing for a living. I don't think you really need to be tall just to get customers right? I mean a lot of them are taller than some of the men in hawaii haha. ANYWAY

so the taxi driver I had that took us to the airport was not chatty at all. But the mofo tried taking the long way to the airport. We've been to hawaii many times to konw that there's a free way over the Ala Wai canal. But he didn't take us that way, he took us thru inner streets, hoping to hit every red light on the way but sucker, it was green almost all the way thru. Damn mofo was driving all slow too, even another taxi cab drove faster than him. SHIET. On the way there cops were racing for some reason. Later on we saw them again. Apparently some truck had driving right into the V where the concrete dividers meet. You know what I'm talking about? Like the V where the concrete divider meets to protect a bridge support or something. Well there weren't those yellow trashcans filled with water to help ease impact and the truck had driven smack dab into the concrete. Wat an idiot. Musta been on something for fell asleep behind the wheel.

At the airport, we were a lil too early so we had to wait in line before personnel checked our bags. Man I'm tired of writing. haha okay lets make this short. i went to burger king to get breakfast. their french toast is good. i wanted white chocolate mocha from starbucks but they ran out. I wanted to try caramel macchiato but wasn't sure so i didn't. played a game of uno wid my sis, boarded the plane, took off at 7:05am. 4:40 min flight. slept most of the way but woke up when my mouth was freakin dry and the flight attendants weren't serving drinks for awhile. read my book A Walk To Remember, which was given to me on my b-day. stabbed my finger accidentally when I was retrieving luggage from the baggage claim. arrived at my house at around 4:15 ish in the evening. un packed, checked mail. its so sad, 7 days i've been gone and not a single piece of real mail. shame on u ppl. then i went to eat com tam n came home n yeah. i had a goooood sleep cuz i had my own room where other ppl weren't making noise and a bed alllll to myself. that's all! I'll write some more details if i left them out.

Do your eyes hurt from all this reading? Muhaha cuz my fingers are tired

2002-07-25T22:33:00.000-07:00

WHEW today was a doozy. I was a busy bee ever since I woke up. I ate n then I went online to dl music for the cd I wanted to burn, I baked a cake. Well, for the cake it required 3 eggs and I only had one egg. I was complaining to Elaine about it and she suggested I ask Hoang. I was like nah its okay I don't want to bother him so I went back to making the cake. The cake was for badminton so who cares if they like it or not haha. I only put one egg in there and I baked it n hoped they wouldn't notice. When I came back to the computer Hoang had imed me n told me to check my front gate. I was like oh no! I checked and there were 2 eggs in a bag for me. I was like awww. It was very nice of Hoang to go all the way to my house just to drop off 2 lousy eggs. I felt bad cuz I couldn't use them cuz I already put the cake in the oven! I told him thanks and stuff like that. I was really touch. I mean they're just eggs but the thought is important. I mean he got up, dragged himself all the way to my house just to drop off the eggs. I think thats really touching. Now I know what kind of a friend he is. A good one. I doubt most ppl I know would do that. Thanks again Hoang.

I was gonna draw on the eggs and bring it back to him but I didn't have time. While I waited for the cake to bake, I washed two loads of clothes and hung them outside to dry. Then I washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen. I went upstairs for a shower n such. I was running kinda late and I was like crap hurry up and get outta the house! My English final was at 1 and it was like 12:50 on my clock. So outta the house I went and I was like a min late for class or so. Luckily this lady just backed out when I was coming in and I parked kinda close. The prompt was about the Gilbert case where the father left his son in the car and forgot about him. The kid died as a result of the heat. At first I didn't know what to write, like how to start it and I was unsure. It sucks cuz like they give u 30 mins to read and make notes. I think thats too much time. I'm use to reading in 5 mins and writing right away. I think it was too much time and I had too much time to la dee da. Then when I started on the opinion section it came pretty easy. I think over all I wrote a good essay. But hey what do I know...sassafrass... I finished the final like 15 mins before time so I just sat there. They made us wait till everyone is done before we can leave. After class I went to the book store to sell back my book... a measly 24 bucks...

I went to the bank to get sum mula and then I went to pump gas. THe freakin line for gas is hella long geez louise. I finally got home around 3:48 ish and I ate. Man I was hecka hungry ever since the final.

It was also the last day for badminton and there was a pot luck, hence the cake. I brought that and I asked around for a scantron and a pencil. The test was fairly easy and then we got to eat. I liked the egg rolls and fried rice was okay. So we sat there talking, eating and making jokes. It was pretty kewl. This guy.. I dunno his name, he took the same final as me and we were talking about it. Man his logic was waaaay off... I dunno what grade he's gonna get but I doubt it'll be a good one hahaa. He's talking about how the author might have been abused and a sexist and all this stuff. It was hard trying to keep myself from not laughing. Oh well. Then I went to play badminton. That was fun, I felt exhilarated and I dunno. I feel like I'm workin out n burning something haha. It just felt good.

Then I went to eat more brownies. Damn who ever brought the brownies thanks! Gosh Brownies are one of the greatest things in the world. I loooooooooveee brownies. Freakin Jen LONG didn't make me any u mofo! Dang I musta stuffed myself with hella brownies. I made like all these guys eat the cake that I baked. Haha it was pretty funnie. No one touched it so I was like YOU! EAT MY CAKE. And they did! Haha gosh guys are soo crude sometimes. This one guy just grabbed a forked and put it in his mouth. Another got a spoon and did the same thing. This other guy just used his hands! Man! I saw Kim n Thao with them playing uno. I woulda liked to play but not with them. So its okay, I just stayed n made more ppl eat my cake. I noticed that I always meet and get more acquainted with ppl on the last day of a class but by then its too late. After I drank some bubbly juice I went to play some more badminton with Chau. I'm going to miss that girl, she's so cute and nice. I wish good luck to her in her season. I hope she kicks ass. So we play and then its past 8 and she's like oh no I told my mom to pick me up at 7:45! Hehe so she runs off. Then the coach saw me walking and he wanted to play singles with me. Gosh I hate singles but whatever all in the fun of the game. I told him I had to go soon so we had to make it a quick game to 7pts. For awhile the scores didn't seem to be moving anywhere but he finally beat me 7-5. Its alright, I was very lazy and made some mistakes. So after that I walked to my car n went home.

When I got home I found out my aunt from Idaho had come by and visited. I was like AWW man. Suckers. She left like half an hour before I came home. Suckers. I was pretty full from class so I didn't eat anything else except for some cuccumbers. Sigh and now its the end of my busy day. Whew I feel wiped out. I must say it was very productive.

2002-07-24T21:59:00.000-07:00

This morning I went to English and she gave us back our tests from yesterday. That was quick grading! She never gives us our tests back the day after. So we went over it a bit and she told us the dos and don'ts for the final. And then she asked the class so review some more or leave? Everyone was like LEAVE! We got out at 10:45. Man, half an hour of class, its koo but dang wat a waste of gas just to go to class for half an hour. After we got out I went to the bookstore to buy the green books n then I went home. Jan and Jen Long were suppose to play UNO with me but NOOOOo they weren't home. So I was left very bored. Neal had to work and I just went online. I watched Mama's Family at 1 though! Hehe.

Later in the afternoon I finished my 6 page research paper! YES! It is the greatest accomplishment that I've done for english. haha. I've never written a 6 page report before and dang it was kinda scary but hey its not so bad. So now I know I can do it. And its a good thing I spread it out doing like 2 pages a day so that was good.

Badminton today was fun again! We ran a relay and then we did liners. Bao asked me to be his partner again and I said sure. But we didn't get to be partners because the coach sent us to different courts. Yah know, if I look at Bao he's kinda cute. He has a boyish charm to him. He's not my type but yeah just saying he's kinda cute. So me and Chau are partners again, I think that girl is so kute! I wanna pinch her cheeks haha. She's so shy and nice. Something you would never expect from an Indy player. She's the only one I like from Independence. We were assigned to court 3 n won n moved to court 4 to play Anh Tu and Tinh I think was his name. We lost to them. Then we won n worked our way back to court 4 and we played Jimmy and Kim(berly). Ha waddya know, we dethrown them and we're champs. So we stayed on court four for the rest of class beating everyone else. Me n Chau had some good shots. At the end Coach Payne played against us and it was hecka fun. He's all like Yah I'm trying to restrain my smash on you guys. I was like please bring it on, we'll take it like WOMEN! he laughed at that so he started smashing. But har har we were winning but not by much. Near the end the coach nailed me on my left shoulder! I was like oooo its on coach! Haha but I never did get him back. S'ok we beat him n his partner. Coach wanted a rematch but I was like nah I gotta go to my friend's house right now. So he's like alright and we agreed to a rematch tomorrow. Ha BRING IT ON. We'll still whup ur butt. haha.

On the way out I saw Kim Jr. walking but she was talking with them so I didn't wanna say hi. She probably wanted a ride from him like always so I just walked past by them.

I went to miss Aileen Tran's house and she was clad in her SC pe shirt and toy story boxers haha. She's like oh we match cuz I wore the SC pe shorts. See me n her go together perfectly. She gave me back my beloved sunglasses and we chatted for a bit. She walked me to my car n saw me off. I always miss the turn to go into her house so I have to make extra turns. Arg, one day I'll get it right. I went home n ate n thats all.

Tomorrow I'll be busy doing all sorts of stuff. I have to remember to bake a cake for badminton.

2002-07-23T21:46:00.000-07:00

Today was test day in English and I finished my essay early as usual. I was talking to Trinh before class because I saw her walking in my direction. Freakin smart ass, she passed, AP World History and she got a 5 in calc. That girl is gonna be something one day. If she pays more attention. Hehe. I also saw Teak, JR, and Tyrel while walking to class. So I left early and I went home n called Peter and Danvi but no one picked up. I went online and Jen Long's away msg said she was headed to Denny's. Since it was Justin's b-day I guessed thats where they were headed. I called Jen up and she was on her way there n she said she's swing by to pick me up. Thanks Jen Long! She's kewl.

So at Denny's there was Peter, Danvi, Tina, Maria, Sarah, Brian Hoang, Brian Le, Justin, Jen Long and myself. We sat there eating and talking and Brian Le was telling us about his campfire story where there was a fire and they had no water so they decided to pee on it to put it out... well being the smart fools they are, Brian Le was peeing and the flames kinda bursted up and burned his thingie. Haha good one huh. So yah and then Danvi had dropped this sausage and we're like oh oh look its Brian's thingie after he burned it! Haha man such dirty minded ppl. It was hilarious the things we talked about. We sang Happy B-day to Justin and then after awhile we left. We were so loud n noisy I think we were annoying ppl. Oh well. Oh and these two girls were sitting in a booth and they got up to leave and the boys were like oh oh go talk to her! Cuz Justin recognized one of the girls from Quimby. So all four guys went up there to talk to the girls. Man.. how funnie, its like it takes 4 guys to talk to one girl. They're all back up for each other haha.

So we paid and left and we decided to go play pool at oakridge lanes. Guys vs. girls, me, Maria, and Tina vs Brian, Brian and Justin. Peter had to drop Danvi off and the girls went off to do stuff. So we put a lil wager on the game. Losers would have to pick up the bill. After a long time it looks like the boys were about to win, we had one solid left on the table and they were going for the 8 ball. It came down to Justin and he sank the 8 ball in the wrong pocket and haha by default that makes us girls winners! So they had to pay. We played another game and Wendy n Jen Long came. I had to leave at almost 1:55.

Jen LONG was SUPPOSE TO MAKE ME BROWNIES BUT NOOOo she fed them to Maria n Wendy!! That mofo! I hella wanted my brownies.

Today at badminton Andy Gao came to class to talk about techniques and wat not and he brought two junior national champions with him to demonstrate. One of them was realllly cute. He was tall, not skinny, kinda built, and he looked good. Yuummm The other guy was Andy's son, he didn't look so good haha but oh well. Man they're freaking good. But of course they had to be in order to be junior national champs. They demo-ed singles and doubles and mix. Watchimg mix was hilarious cuz the guy I thought was cute kinda moved Chau aside when the game started because he wanted to receive the other girl's serve. And the guy kept moving Chau. I thought that was kinda mean but oh well. Mmm that guy was good looking. So after the demo, we had to run 6 sprints and man that made me sweat like crazy. And then Bao wanted to be partners so we played mix. Whew mix was kinda fun. I played pretty hard and I was already tired from sprinting. I was hella sweaty too. It felt so exhilarating to play all out and be so tired. It feels good to be sweaty and tired. I like it. Those days where I play really hard and stuff makes me feel good. Badminton left me feelin really good. So when I walked out I saw Kim walking down yonder and I said "Kimber!" She turned around n waited. It had been awhile since I talked to her. I was kinda ehh still with her but watever, badminton made me feel good so wat the hell, I talked to her. It was nice talking with her though we didn't talk much. So we went home and I saw her shaking her head trying to keep this guy from gettin in front of her. Heh that's Kim for you. I know she was going "Nah Uh I don't think so." Well thats all. I hope the teacher tomorrow will be merciful and end English class early. Its so freakin boring.

2002-07-21T21:56:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I worked from 1-5 and it was sooo freakin boring. Man. I walked around the front of the store aimlessly, greeted ppl, moved the clothes back and forth so it looked like I was doing something. Man.. soooo boring. I met a new coworker, Liz, and this other girl, Tracy, who I met on my first day. Tracy is really nice, I like her personality. Liz on the other hand I thought was kinda not so friendly. Liz looks pretty young but I think she's not as young as she looks, she's probably 20 ish. So finally I got off of work and I went home, changed, ate. My parents were having guests over and my sis had her friend over. After that I went to pump gas and headed to Aileen's house. She was having a lil b-day get together. I rang the door bell a million times but no one answered so I went around back and there they were. I ate these brownies.. damn they're so good. I love brownies. Wanna make me happy? Give me brownies. Yuuuummmmmmmyy. Did you guys know I lost a baby molar while eating a brownie a long time ago? Hahaha yep. So I ate chips and what not, drank soda. For awhile it was dull, not much happening. They wanted to go into the jacuzzi but I thought it was way too hot and we should go in at night. So we all went inside and watched A Walk To Remember. Well, I was half paying attention to it, I was playing uno with Jan and Grace. Then Peter went home and got his uno deck and we started playing. Oh man it was hecka fun. I won a lot! And these was this one round where it was hella long and man pooooooorrr Jannie! I dunno who started it but I think it was Jan, she put down a draw 2, Grace put down a draw 2, I put down a draw four, peter put down a draw four, danvi put down a draw four, franklin put down a draw 2, and Jan didn't have a draw card and she had to pick up all those cards! HAHA it was such a hoot! Oh man it was too funnie. Man, Jan was sitting between the two kids, Franklin and Grace and those kids were mean! They kept pickin on her, making her draw cards and what not. Haha Needless to say Jan had the most cards. So I watched AWTR on and off and the movie seemed pretty good. I thought it was gonna be heart breaking but it wasn't. Probably because I missed half the dialog and stuff. I really do have to watch that movie by myself one of these days. But someone gave me the book for my b-day so I'll read that soon too. Aileen gave me a hamburger while I was playing it was pretty good.

After the movie we all changed and got into the jacuzzi! The water was hot and it took awhile to adjust. It was pretty relaxing and stuff. We sat there talked, ate chips but they got soggy after awhile. After some time passed Grace got out and so it was just us kids and we started playing Truth or Dare. Scandalous things went on, needless to say but yah. We took a short break and got some juice and soda. After awhile we stopped and got out of the jacuzzi, I changed and talked a lil and then I had to go. So I left around 11 and Aileen, Wilfred, and Anthony walked me to my car.

When I first arrived at the party, ppl told me AP scores were out and I hellllla wanted to know mine. The one freakin day I didn't check my mail and it came. So I wanted all that time to go home and find out my scores.... I went into the house and opened it up. Oh man... what a bummer...I got 2s on both English and Gov. I feel so grrrr. I'm utterly disappointed in myself. I hella wanted to pass English. I was pretty confident in English and if anything I thought I'd pass that and fail everything else. I'm pretty strong in my essays but I bet I choked on the multiple choice... sigh.. I feel like I let down Mr. Zellner and myself. Damn myself... grrr stupid me. I betrayed myself. Dammit. Gov... who the hell cares... I dunno, gov wasn't very important to me for some reason. I think it was cuz Mr. Marr never really made it a big deal and its importance seemed to slip from me. The only good news is that I passed Calculus. I'm so glad for that because I won't go down in Mrs. Guttal's book of shame. Now I can see her again haha. But its such a bittersweet victory because I wanted to pass both Eng and Calc. Sigh. Better than none right? I'll take what I can get. Atleast I'm taking English 1a right now.

I didn't have a very good sleep that night. I dreamed of all sorts of stuff and they weren't very pleasant. And I was feeling so relaxed from the jacuzzi too..

Today I had to wake up early to go to work. I worked from 11 till 3. Work today was a lot more fun than it was yesterday. Liz was my co worker for today and she turns out to not be so bad. I helped her set up the displays in the windows and these three assholes came in. They punched the maniquinns and were making a mess in the store. I was like wtf... One of the guys was really rude n he smelled... He was the one that bought stuff but he was fuckin rude. Damn bastard. Shiet. He even asked to changed into those close right away so he went into the fitting room to change. Weird... So after that incident Liz was talking to me afterwards n she's like yah they were hitting on me n trying to ask me out. We talked about what pricks they were n so I got to know her more. Turns out she has a boyfriend who is a Marine stationed in Singapore right now. When he comes back she's gonna move in with him. She's known him since junior high, I think thats pretty sweet.

When Liz sent me on my break, I remember her mentioning that she was hungry so I asked if she wanted me to get her anything. She's like oh yah, she wanted garlic bread from that bread place down yonder. So I went there to get it for her and what do you know... its one of those pricks who works there... when I was standing in line he waved at me and I half smiled at him going yeah okay hurry up. And he kept smiling and looking at me and I was like the hell... n then it dawned upon me. Oh. Its one of those guys. So yah he was trying to make small talk and I humored him. I gave Liz her garlic bread n went to get myself a pretzel from Auntie Anne's. Yum yum sour cream n onion. Later on I discovered I had a green onion stuck on my tooth. haha good thing I caught it while I was checking the fitting rooms. Well that was all for today. I'm tired of typing.

2002-07-20T11:16:00.000-07:00

Yesterday morning Aileen and Ant came by to pick up her waterguns because "Grace needed them." So yah I gave them back to her and later on Peter, Brian, Tina and Peter's brother Franklin came by. We headed to Oakridge Lans to play pool and bowling. Pool was pretty fun because I can sorta play again! I didn't suck too badly though I did re-injured my right finger again when I banged it against the table :P Oh man the boys were always winning. It hella sucked. Franklin is only 11 yrs old and it was his first time playing pool but he's pretty good! He sank 3 balls. My sis didn't do so well but it was alright, she sank the cue ball hahaha. So the guys were winning but they sank the 8 ball in the wrong pocket so us girls won by default. Twice. haha we didn't finish our 3rd game cuz we wanted to go bowling. Peter had to pick up his other bro and Brian went with him.

Me, Tina and Franklin bowled while my sis played DDR. Man I didn't do so well this time! Suckers! Tina was leading though she didn't get any strikes and Franklin was close behind her. I let my sis take some of my turns and she bowled gutter balls so haha my score wasn't so hot. I started yellin out GUTTER BALLLLL at Tina when she bowled and HA! watta yah know she bowled gutter balls! Hahaha so her score greatly suffered and Franklin took the lead! Man for a freakin lil kid he can bowl pretty well, shoot he was whooping our butts. This one shot when I bowled, I whacked my right knee as I was swinging oww did it hurt. I have a slight bruise from it. Hehe. Man we should have put a wager on our lil bowling. Next time next time. So it was already 1 and Peter n Brian hadn't returned from picking up his bro so Tina left a note for Peter at the front desk and we took off to Jamba. I bought my sis a Strawberries Wild and Tina wanted In N Out so we headed over there. When I backed out Peter arrived and we told him to meet us at In N Out across the street. Brian drove his own car and showed up afterwards.

So we all ate at In N Out and all of a sudden Brian was like PSSST and I looked at him like what? And I turn n look at Peter but there's nothing wrong with him so I look back at Brian and then I look back at Peter except a lil past him and I saw these two women. One was standing up kinda holding the woman sitting down around the waist and I was like ooooo. haha knowing Brian that was what he wanted me to look at. Freakin Brian's hilarious. He's like yah I never saw lesbians in REAL LIFE! haha sucha dork. Brian is too amusing. So around 2:50 me n my sis left to go home.

Jen Long was talking to me online and we were suppose to go swimming. When it came to 6 I wasn't feeling like swimming and Jen wanted to go to Shirley's house to look at her senior proofs. So I was like ehh its okay lets not go swimming. I ended up staying home. Yesterday evening was really nice, kinda breezy but still warm. Well that was all for yesterday. Today I have to go to work at 1 and I might go somewhere afterwards but I dunno yet. We'll see.

2002-07-18T21:34:00.000-07:00

So today was the first day in a looong time that I've felt a little better. I wasn't so depressed today. The morning started out okay. I was suppose to meet Jen Long at McDs for breakfast and I called Jan up and she decided to go too. The reason why I wanted to go eat at McDs was cuz there's nothing in the frickin house to eat for breakfast. I had to eat a cookie yesterday cuz there was nothing else! Pretty sad. So I get ready and I walk downstairs to the kitchen to get my keys and what do you know... my mom finally bought stuff to eat... sheesh... She bought two boxes of cereal and donuts for me n my sis. Whoop te doo. Its too late anyway so I head to Jan's to pick her up and go to McDs. I got a sausage McMuffin and two hash browns. It was sooo yummy I love the sausage and I had to force the second hashbrown down but yum yum and so fattening too. So we sat there talking and I kept lookin at my watch going I should head to class. But I complained that I didn't want to and how it was always boring. AND THEN JANNIE! kept saying don't go Kim don't go! You know you don't want to. I was like ahhhh. Can you believe Jannie condoning cutting? *GASP* Jen Long was like no go to class! You shouldn't skip! Go go go. And Jan was like nooo you know you don't want to. So that went back and for on and off through out our conversations. And then it was 10:15 and I was like... too late to go to class now. So yah I ended up cutting and I feel sorta bad. :T Haha must be hard to believe I have a conscious about cutting looking back on how much I cut the last few months of school. But hey oh well. So we sat there for like two hours just talking and we decided to go to Creek to visit Mr. Zellner!

On the way into the parking lot Mr. Venegas stopped me and I was like oh we don't go to this school and he was like uh huh. I was like we're just visiting a teacher. He's like who? And I told him Mr. Zellner and then I was like YAH Creek Alumnis!!! He laughed and then he let us go. As I parked I saw Shannon, Annie, Cow and some other ppl and I was like ooooo BUSTED! She's like yeah but he didn't do anything so I was like aww. So we headed to visit Mr. Zellner. I had a present for him that I was never able to give to him during the last day of school. We went to visit him and it was nice, and me and Jan complained about how we hadn't received our AP scores and he said he hadn't either. We're like damn we thought you'd be able to tell us. So we talk for awhile and then he kicked us out cuz his class was getting rowdy. We went to to the office to ask about AP score and which teachers were there teaching summer school so perhaps we could inquire. Turns out Mr. Fox has the results but he's not in so we couldn't get them. DAMN HIM! We went to Mr. G's cuz Jen Long wanted to talk to him. I thought Voss was gonna be there but she wasn't. Damn! She only taught the first semester of English and he taught the second. damn damn damn.

Afterwards we decided to go to Jen Long's house to play uno. I stopped by my house to get uno and we played there. I won like a million times and Jan and Jen won like once. Aileen made a suprise stop and she took over Jen Long's card and she won once. haha. Then we watched Mama's Family on her TV. They were pretty funnie but those eps today weren't as funnie as they normally are. After that I had to leave to pick up my sis. As I left I saw the mail man about to drop off Jen's mail and I was like OOO go check to see if the AP scores came. She checked but it wasn't there dammit. So I knew I wasn't gonna get it either.

Thanks Jen Long and Jannie for the great morning even though BAD JANNIE told me to cut. It got my day off to a good start and it made me feel better. Thanks! Its been a super long time since I've felt better.

I forgot to go to open gym at Creek even though Tony told me to go when I was at Creek. And I realized it too late. It was like already 4 something and I was playing my fish game. The fish game had something wrong with it and everything was going super fast so I got all the money. haha. Before I went to badminton I checked mail for the scores just in case but oh woe is me they were not there. I went to EVC and they fenced off the front area and I was like the hell am I suppose to get in? If I hadn't CUT like JAN wanted me to I woulda knew. But thats alright.

Class was hecka fun. Fun I hadn't had in awhile. I was partners with Chau and our first match was against these really good guys. So we're like okay you guys have to play with your left hands! Haha suckers! They agreed and we gave them a 5 pt lead. We caught up and started winning but one of the guys cheated and he switched to his right hand! But the other guy didn't so we won anyway. Haha And then the guys kept lookin at us. We were laughing. It was pretty fun. Those guys are cool. Me n Chau advanced all the way to the last court. I hadn't been down there in a long time haha. It was pretty fun on the way there. We played against this one short chic and her partner from Santa Teresa I think. There was this one shot where the guy smashed it at me and it was headed straight towards my chest and I flinched n I closed my eyes but my reflexes kicked in and I had the racket up and I flicked it over. I was like whoa haha I didn't feel the contact of the bird on my chest and I was like OH it went over. Haha such luck. And then on the last court we played Anh Tu's sister and Bao. We were leading for awhile then they tied and started winning. It was a close game and me n Chau hecka got shots. It was pretty kewl. We lost to them and sat down to talk and stuff. Turns out the teacher let us out of class early so we didn't get to play any other game.

On the way out some ppl discovered a baby bird that had fallen out of its nest in the tree. Poor thing it was hecka scared and this guy just grabbed it but it popped out. Poor thing was screaming its head off and the mother was flying around on the tree screamin too. I don't think that was a good idea because now the mom is gonna smell the guy on the bird and think its not her kid anymore. So yah another guy picked it up and put it on the dirt n we told everyone to leave it alone. Me n Anh Tu her sis and her bf walked to the parking lot. These guys were stuck behind the fence and decided to crawl underneath. What DORKS! If they walk like 15 ft over they can just walk around the fence but no being their stupid guy selves they had to crawl under saying it was faster. Whatever... dumb guy logic. And the short girl crawled under too. Such retards haha they scratched themselves n everything. Good Job. So I went to my car and drove home. And that's pretty much it for today.

The only thing is that those so called "friends" still haven't said anything so *shrugs*

2002-07-17T21:39:00.000-07:00

This morning was interesting. English class was pretty boring as usual and we were about to read an essay on Hansel and Gretel. My teacher asked if everyone knew the story and some ppl said they didn't so she started telling the story. Oh man I hadn't had a story told to me in years! And I bet the class hasn't either. So the teacher was telling the fairy tale and she was really good at it too! She had voice inflections and hand motions and she was really good at telling the story. Then she came to the part where the witch discovered the children and said "WHO IS EATING MY HOUSE?" and she said it in a scraggly voice and it got real quiet in the class room. Then everyone started busting up laughing cuz it was so quiet. Man it was so funnie because we're all high school and college kids and here we are having a story told to us. It was kinda silly and cool at the same time. So yah my teacher was like half way into the story and she's like yah the witch threw Gretel into her oven to bake her and Hansel broke out and knocked her out and freed Gretel. And then my teacher says "And I don't remember the rest." Everyone was like ahhhh. Haha and someone said they baked the witch in her own oven. Man such evil children. So yah that was a perk in my english class. And it was cool to have a story told. It was real nice, made me nostalgic.

Aileen came by to hang today and that was a real plus in my day. She's soo cool. Thanks Aileen, for those hours you came to talk to me, it made me feel a little better while you were there. Words can't express how much it meant to me. Thank you. It was quite fun talking to you while u did my yearbook and we exchanged pictures.

Yah know... I'm pretty sad. I realized I've been sad for about 18 days. Thats a record so far and it doesn't feel so good. I feel very broken and battered right now. That could be because of badminton too but yeah. I feel so tired, physically and emotionally. I don't think its very healthy for me but there's not much I can do. I frown so much I feel my face sagging. My mouth doesn't feel so good and I bet I'm getting those frown lines. Sigh. I really do want be happy again. It feels so much better than feeling depressed. So where are my real friends when I need them? To those people who this is geared towards... I really don't know what's up with you guys. Are you guys real friends? The way you guys have been acting... I don't know. I bet you guys don't even care right now or ever will. Thats a damn shame.

And this morning I went online and read the news, they found a body down south that matched the description of the girl who was taken from her front yard monday evening. I remember watching that on the news last night and I paused for a moment, imagining what her parents must be going through. You see and hear about so many kidnappings but you don't really feel the impact of it. But if you take a moment.. think in their shoes...its so heartbreaking. Can you imagine... your child, the love of your life, your pride and joy snatched away in one instance... taken by some stranger. Can you imagine the fear? The fear of not knowing where she is? Who she's with? What has happened to her? Is she hurt? Will you ever see her again? God that's so horrible. I can't imagine nor would I ever hope to feel and go through what they are going through. And just thinking about it made me even more sad. Poor little girl.... when I came back from class and went online to read the news.. they confirmed that the body they found was hers. I feel so sorry for her parents. In less than 24 hours they had their daughter taken away from them forever. Someone they will never see again. And I think that is just so sad. The world we live in is so sad, you can't even let your kids play in front of your damn house. And this sad incident also reminds me to appreciate the things that we all take for granted sometimes. I know that I'm usually grateful for the things I have and we all have our problems but just be happy for some of the things you do have. My heart goes out to her parents. What do you have that you've been taking for granted? Take a moment and reflect.

2002-07-16T11:57:00.000-07:00

Today was very blah as well. Apparently my neighbors stayed out till 2 this morning and so Neal was asleep and Matt was online playing Warcraft. Damn them, I wanted to go out or something. But thats alright. I got to watch Mama's family which I hadn't seen in awhile. Man that show cracks me up like hella. I love that show! It's so freakin funnie, today's ep was when Mama got into a wrestling ring and she was hella dissing these fat wrestlers and Mama ended up beating the two when they wrestled. Oh man it was too funnie. You should try to catch the show if you can, its on TBS at 1pm!

Anyway, badminton was pretty fun when we played doubles. I played with Anh Thu and man we had hecka fun. These two games we had with Chau and Kimberly and dude we had two crazy rallies. It was like impossible shots and we kept getting them back over haha in the end we won one and they won one. It was pretty kewl. Yah know, I like sweating in badminton, atleast I know I'm getting a work out. Tomorrow I'm suppose to hang with Miss Aileen Tran but I dunno if we're still on. I'll talk to her later n we'll see. Yah know, this is the second day I've been expecting my AP scorse but NOOO did they come? No they did not. Ppl have been receiving them since Friday but I haven't gotten mine yet. Man I want to know! I hope the results are good. I'm scared! So that's all for today's thoughts. The following is a song that I happened to dl by chance a few days ago and I really like the song.

She came in lookin' good and lookin' around
She's checkin' out every man in the room right now
Don't go tellin' her about right or wrong
She's been alone way to long

The heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lastin' comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon light
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter
When there's no sign of a love in sight

She hears him say "Hey, can I buy you a drink?"
And sees the pale white circle where he wears his ring
She knows he's dealin' her a dangerous hand
The consequences of a one night stand

The heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lastin' comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon light
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter
When there's no sign of a love in sight

From somewhere deep inside she tells him no
Before she starts to cry she turns to go

The heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lastin' comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon light
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter
When there's no sign of a love in sight

2002-07-15T21:27:00.000-07:00

Today was pretty uneventful, we got our test back in English today. Oh what a blow to my ego! I didn't get a perfect on my test! For the past two tests I've gotten perfects on them and I'm like HAH! But damn today I got a 98/100. Oh woe is me. Oh well. Which reminds me I have to type up my outline but eh I'll do it tomorrow morning or something before class. Uh, Neal was at work today so I didn't spend any time with him. Badminton was alright, the game against Toan and Anh Tu was fun. :T I guess not much else.

And relating to yesterday's topic the theme shall be from The Little Prince "What is Essential is Invisible to the Eye." Think about it. Especially those this is geared towards. Thoughts and actions speak MUCH more loudly than words do.

2002-07-14T20:12:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Danvi had her lil get together where she invited a few ppl just to hang. I called Ky up to see if he was doing anything but he wasn't. I went to Danvi's around 6? So yah she had family over so we chilled in this room n played uno. It got pretty fun, freakin Justin, he plays sooo slow. Then more ppl arrived n finally everyone who was gonna come was there: Brian, Tina, Peter, Justin and Elaine came after uno. So everyone except Elaine was playing uno and we decided that it we'd put a wager on it. Losers do 5 push ups and Danvi won that round so we all did push ups. Then it was guys vs. girls and losers do 10 push ups. Ha of course girls won, who else. Then another round losers do 20. OF COURSE girls won again. Suckers. Haha it was hella fun too.

Then we went outside to play in her backyard. I love Danvi's backyard, you can see the city and its just really nice. I love it. Me and Danvi were playing beach tennis while tina and the boys whacked away at this golf thing. Then me n Tina played this catch the ball thing with velcro pads. Hecka old school. Then we ate shiskabob (can't spell it) which was pretty yummy. At first ppl only wanted certain things so when we ate we're like so who wants the onion, the bell pepper, the mushroom, etc. Then we ate some meat and bread. It was pretty kewl just the few of us. It got cold so we went inside and the boys wanted to swim and Danvi wanted me to swim too. I was like hmmm I brought my stuff but I was cold and didn't feel like it. We were chilling in her room and she convinced me to go swim. Tina and Elaine left, ELaine had to go to Jan's house cuz Jan was mad at her n Tina went home.

So I got in the pool and its already dark at like 9 but its freakin cold. The pool was warmer than the air but dang still, I had goosebumps. I didn't want my hair wet but the freakin boys kept at me. Doing cannonballs, throwing stuff at me. Swimming at night is pretty kewl. There weren't very many stars but if you sit in the pool you can see the city. I love the view. Then it got way too cold for me so I tried getting out. Justin was after me so I figured I couldn't make it all the way to the end of the pool so I hopped up on the side of the pool. I had my upper body out but Justin was right there so I got on leg up and rolled to safety! Haha it was pretty funnie I think I scrapped my knee.

I took a shower n went downstairs to rejoin them. Danvi got me ice cream which was delicious! Yum yum and then we played foosball. Me n Justin vs. Danvi n Peter. Ha! I won, I mean me and Justin won. haha Then I left. The guys left when I left and Justin with his towel from the pool was doing a dance with it! Rubbing his butt with it and stuff it was scandalous! He was even adding a beat to his dancing. He danced across the street and dave my car a dance. haha Gooo Justin! I bet he left butt marks on it. So yah after that I went home n that was all!

Today was my job orientation n first day on the job. It was paperwork the first hour and the next hour I just stood in front zone of the store standing there reading my handbook and trying to greet customers. Man I swear, ppl either don't hear me or ignore me! I'm like HELLOOO n they're just walking on oblivious. Sheesh. I finally got to meet the lady who pursued me for this job. She's very nice and stuff. My co workers are very friendly so its kewl. Plus I can wear anything I want as long as it looks like something the store would sell :] So much better than Target where I had to wear red (eww) and khakis. I was even late to my orientation but it was only by a few mins. I had never been to Oakridge and yah driving there was a long time. Sheesh so many frickin stop lights. I wasn't sure how to get home either so I took a guess and ha! it was the right choice and I got home. So not bad for my first day. I still have to get use to that whole greeting ppl and stuff. I don't konw why ppl diss Oakridge, I think its a pretty nice mall. After work I went around it for a lil and it has a lot of the stores that I'd have to go to GM and VF for! It has Gap, Old Navy, Express, Abercrombie N Fitch (not that I shop here but just sayin), and other stores. I'd have to say not bad at all! I mean I'd have to go to GM for old navy n gap, VF for Gap and Express, and I'd say its pretty good that all these stores are right here in one mall!

Today I feel very sad. Its been happening a lot lately and I feel so depressed. There are a combination of things that roll into one that make me sad. The big thing is friends... or the lack of. I dunno its like I've been hanging out with these certain ppl and I thought we were all getting pretty tight but apparently not. As it seems to me some are more closer to others and there's only 5 of us including myself. And I suppose I find myself being left out, which if I think about it, has happened a lot. And that makes me sad. And I feel stupid about writing this but oh well, as Ky says moments of weakness are what makes us human, though I'd rather not be. They all hang out with each other and they don't call me up, whether it is intentional or not, it still hurts. And even if its unintentional that means that they obviously don't think of me enough to call me up when they do go out right? So I guess that leads to the same thing is doing it intentionally. Doesn't it suck to be me?

So this sadness also leads me to think, is it me? Is there something wrong with me? I admit I do get moody sometimes. Doesn't everyone? Am I not "fun" enough? Is it because I don't "flirt" enough? Is it because I am not always super outgoing? I don't know. And it also makes me sad that friends... what friends do I really have? No one visits, no one really talks to me. Vi is the only exception and she's busy so she can't visit and I understand. But what about other ppl call themselves my "friends"? And especially those ppl I talked about in the paragraph above. All I have to say is that it sucks to be left out. So when those of you who are reading this go out, think about the other ppl who you haven't invited because maybe they feel left out too.

And a side note, thanks Danvi for inviting me to your get together, atleast she cared enough. And Happy Birthday Clare.

There you are
In a darkened room
And you're all alone
Looking out the window
Your heart is cold and lost the will to love
Like a broken arrow

Here I stand in the shadows
Come to me, Come to me
Can't you see that

Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
and I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely so why
Why don't you let me love you

Can you hear my voice
Do you hear my song
It's a serenade
So your heart can find me
And suddenly your flying down the stairs
Into my arms, baby

Before I start going crazy
Run to me, Run to me
Cause I'm dying

Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
so bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
and I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely so why
Why don't you let me love you

I want to feel you deeply
Just like the air you're breathing
I need you here in my life
Don't walk away, don't walk away
Don't walk away, don't walk away

Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
Nobody wants to be lonely
I don't want to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
I don't want to cry
My body's longing to hold you
I'm longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
and I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely so why
Why don't you let me love you
Why don't you let me love you

Nobody wants to be lonelyI don't want to cry
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Nobody wants to be lonely
I don't want to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry

2002-07-12T22:59:00.000-07:00

I woke up this morning at 3:17 am and for the life of me I couldn't go back to sleep. I tossed n turned n I simply couldn't go back to sleep so I laid awake for like 2 freakin hours. I was so bored I started to distract myself with shadow puppets. Sad huh? Hehe Oh well. So after awhile I decided to go online at 4:50. I replied to an email and read some news articles online and that took about an hour. It was almost 6 so I got off and I went back to bed and thankfully I fell back asleep. Man that was hella strange. So i woke up around 10 feeling not so rested. I went downstairs and made blueberry muffins to eat for breakfast for me n my sis. So I asked my sis if she wanted to go to the chicken farm and she said yah. So at 12:30 I took her to this park where they have animals like chickens, geese, ducks, a pig, peacocks, pheasants, etc. And we looked at the chickens and stuff. It was sooo kute. I saw this mother hen with her brood of baby poofy chicks. I saw this duck swimming in the pond and it pooped into the water it was swimming and I was like oh man... hahaha. I also saw this REALLY fat chicken. I mean man it was massive! I don't think my chickens were ever that big. It was hella big. Oooo all the chickens were so kute. Awwww I miss my babies. So yah after that I took my sis to In N Out for her very first time here. And she likes it a lot.

Oh yah before we went to the chicken park, I went to pump gas right. And I pumped gas and this guy cutted in front of me to pump his gas. And so after I finished pumping, I got back in my car to wait for him to move so I could go. This teenage chic in her green car with her friends honked at me. I look at her in the mirror and she's like WTH. I stick my head out the window and told her "Well, I can't move." So she backs out her car and I'm like WTF is she doin. And I guess the guy in front of me heard me say I couldn't move so he moved his car and I started to leave. That girl was hella givin me attitude so I flipped her the bird as I left. Hopefully she saw it, stupid bitch. I bet she was all trying to be bad in front of her friends or something. Shoooot she's got another thing comin..

While I was driving in the parking lot, I'm driving straight and this lady in her Caddy wants to turn into my way and she honked at me! The nerve of her! Good thing she was old. So I let it go n watever. Geez Ppl these days, whats up with them? I was honked at so much today. Goodness. haha I should play my song... Move bitch get out the way get out the way bitch get out the way. So yah that was all for my day. man it was so nice outside in the evening but I had no one to play with! It was so sad. Waste of a nice evening but thats alright cuz I caught a good movie on tv. Thats all!

2002-07-11T14:41:00.000-07:00

Yesterday night while I was online chatting this craving for a caramel frap just hit me. It was weird, I could taste the caramel on my tongue n I was like mmmmm. This morning I went to class and all we did was listen to two presentations and then she let us out early! Yay what fun. OH yah when I got in my car to go to school I was like shit I forgot to do the hw. I usually get to class really early so I just wrote out my hw real quick. Muhaha. Thank goodness for AP English. Atleast my skills are put to use. So yah we got out at like 10:50. we had like less than 45 mins of class. Which is koo of course. It was such a beautiful day outside. It wasn't overwhelmingly hot like yesterday or the day before. There was some overcast so it was a lil reprieve from the sun. I was like man sucha beautiful day I gotta go out. So I go online and of course my neighbors are on so I'm like HEY lets go! They take forever getting ready but I guess I shouldn't complain cuz I take forever too. Haha but yah so like an hour later they're finally done and we're like so where are we going? I wanted to go to the zoo but I dunno. And I wanted a frap so we went to Starbucks and I had my caramel frap. Mmmm sooo good. Fattening as hell. I better stop. I've been having a frap like almost everyday or every other day. The other day I think it was Tuesday? I went to Valley Fair with Neal and he got me the new Vanilla Frap. Damn that stuff is pretty good. Tastes like tapioca and vanilla without the lil beads. Its pretty good but I still like my caramel. I shoulda asked for caramel on it. Geez at this rate I'm gonna get fat from Fraps. So yah Neal wanted to kill Keith so Neal special ordered Keith's drink, a Vanilla frap with like 8 pumps of caramel blended in to it plus caramel on top. It tasted good but it had a funnie aftertaste. It wasn't that bad though.

Hmm so yeah afterwards we went to Edgies to play pool. Man whatever meager skills I had before in pool are now totally gone. Its so sad. It was very painful to see myself play. Haha. Freakin A. I couldn't even shoot straight. I wanted the ball to go straight but it'd go to the side or something. I think I sank the 8 ball once. Very sad indeed. I can't even remember if I won the last game or not. Plus I was scared too. It didn't feel right when I played pool. I didn't have a sure feeling behind my shots. And my right finger kinda tingles because I had a bad experience last time I played pool. I played pool at Edgies with Ky and them and this one shot I ripped off chunks of skin on this metal sheet that my finger grazed when I made this shot and damn I was bleeding like a mofo. So yah anyway every time I made a shot near the table I'd be like oooo man I'm scared I'm gonna repeat my lil accident. Hehe.

I'm trying to start updating more and more. So yah. I'll probably update more tonight since its only 2:45 right now. We'll see what happens until now and badminton and then some. Haha. Yesterday Ky was all telling me how he got out of his car at a stop light and reached through Kim's open window, grabbed her and shook her. He's like oh man "she screamed like a little girl" haha damn if only I was there to see it. I bet it was good. I think thats hilarious. Haha and I drive with my windows all the way down too. But shoot pull a stunt like that on me and ur gonna get a black eye. And then I'll pull you half way into the car and roll up the window. What now? Hahaha j/p

Here's the rest of my day. I went to pick up my sis from Nickle City, dropped her off at home and went to badminton class. I was there early cuz I thought freakin Ky would come early so we could play uno but nooooo the mofo was playing badminton at Silver Creek. So yah I talked to this other Kim, her name is Kimberly actually but yah, and I found out that she could have went to nationals for karate but her parents wouldn't let her. She went to junior olympics? I can't remember but in my eyes she gained a lil more respect from me. She's also a black belt. Interesting. She also likes to sparr, hmmm I'd like to see how well she sparr but haha I doubt I'd ever get the chance. Badminton today was alright, except I was pretty hungry cuz I didn't eat lunch cuz I was so full from the caramel frap. Boy was I hungry. All I had was a belly full of water. Ky was my mix partner for today. I think I'm improving and I'm much better than I was before at playing up. I was just plain terrible before and now I'm ehh haha.

Oh yah, I forgot to mention earlier than on the way home from Edgies I saw one of the white police cameros pulled over on the side of the freeway with some construction workers! I was like OOOOo thats the first time I've seen one of those cameros haha.

While I was driving down that road from the parking lot I realize that my attention wanders a lot while I'm driving and thats really dangerous cuz I catch myself and I go Oh! better pay attention and then a few secs later my mind wanders again. Tsk tsk I should be more careful. I guess cuz a lot is on my mind but still. Its kinda no fun when Brian's not around anymore because last year we use to race each other outta the parking lot and home every freakin day after class. haha I have to admit it was fun. A lot of fun. and SUPER fun when I keep making him mad when I cut him off. Haha Brian... that dude. The other day when I raced Thanh out n cut him off that was pretty fun. He even had the better car. Haha. OKay no more of this dangerous talk.

I came home from class and I find a present on the dinner table! It was from Vi! Wowie that chic, she's the best. It was my b-day present and she dropped it off sometime during the day but I dunno when. Its my name stenciled in with watercolor brushes n stuff and its pretty! Except she used my real name. Haha but of course only she can get away with it. Its so pretty, I always see those in Hawaii and I sorta wanted one. Now I do! She's super kewl. And she also gave me a Guess shirt. I always love her presents. I wish I knew what to get her when it comes time for presents. If you're reading this Vi, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

So that's all for today!

2002-07-10T21:39:00.000-07:00

To all those who read my thoughts I apologize for the lack of updates. I've been meaning to update and there have been some good things like my birthday party but a lot of bad things have happened and they prevented me from really writing. I can't really write about happy stuff if I'm not feeling it. I think I'll eventually write about my party but for now I'm just gonna write about today.

This morning was the day of my presentation on Stem Cell Research in my english class. On Monday I spent over 3 hours working on this poster board for the presentation and I must say I was very proud of myself. It took me a long time but I think it turned out pretty nice. It sucks that once my presentation was over now I have no use for the posterboard so I guess to the recyling it goes... What a shame, I put so much effort into it! I thought mine and my partner's presentation was the best so far. Everyone else mumbles and they don't have visual aid. We had visual aids and I think we had the classes attention. So yah dang it was so freakin hot today. But I don't mind, I like hot weather, its better than being cold. The class got out early so I went home. I hung out with my neighbors and we played uno. It was hecka funnie because I kept skipping Keith and making him Draw more cards. He kept telling me "You'll get whats coming.." Hehe I think he won like twice! I only won once and Neal won once. We played in his computer room. It was so dark in there! But he didn't want to let in the light or else we'd fry from the heat. Then I went to pick up my sis.

I did nothing until badminton class. I played and stuff, it was alright. I need to teach myself patience somehow. I need to calm myself. I got really impatient while playing badminton. I guess its also because of all the stuff thats happened but I don't know.

Later on I went into the lobby and Kim n Thao were playing uno and I wanted to play. Kim was complaining about how she didn't want badminton players to play because they always had to leave and they "messed up the game". She kept saying that and it was kinda getting on my nerves. But she dealed me in anyway. When she gave me my cards she threw it at me and half of the cards flipped up. I thought that was hella rude. I mean she didn't have to do that. I was like WTF and she's like excuse me? And I told her about the cards and she's like oh well I throw everyone's card. Well I don't think she throws ppls cards with attitude. So I threw back the cards n got up n left. That really made me mad the way she acted. Sigh but there's nothing that can be done. After that I went back to playing badminton but I felt really sad over what happened. I don't know why. I guess its because it was Kim. We'll see how this goes now. Well thats my day.

I am so angry I might make an artery burst. I am so fuckin angry I think it's literally choking the life outta me... sometimes I see shades of red and black... I'd like to break a couple of things but then I don't want to end up cleaning up. ITS FUCKING KILLING ME.

2002-06-20T22:24:00.000-07:00

Today was pretty fun! First I went jogging at 10 with Jen Long. She came over and we jogged over to Silver Creek to meet up with Steven. Then we jogged/walked to Jannie's house then back to Creek. We didn't go for very long. But I think we jogged enough. Haha poor Steven he didn't even really jog. Sorry! So we went back to Creek and Steven went to his friend's house to help move some stuff. Me n Jen went back to my house and got in her car and went to Kim's house. We're like man, hope she's home... where would she be at this early hour anyway. I wasn't even sure if she'd be awake. We parked the car outside of her court and we said yah we jogged all the way to your house! Hahaha watta dork she believed us. She thinks we'd actually park the car on her driveway n say we jogged to her house. Come on now, we're smarter than that. So yah we chit chatted and then me ner her played ping pong. I think I like ping pong now. Then we chatted some more and then we left.

I burned 2 hours and went to Valley Fair cuz I had the group interview. I thought I was gonna be late to the interview so I hecka put the pedal to the metal and I made it to VF in 10 mins! Haha then I got there too early so I walked around the entire mall and half way before going back to Anchor Blue and I was still the first one to get there. Haha man. So the interview went pretty well in my opinion seeing as to how I've never really had a real interview before. I wasn't so shy and I didn't freeze thank goodness. I answered all the questions pretty well n yah. Hopefully I did well and I'll get the job. But Valley Fair is kinda far away. :[ There was this one shirt when I was lookin around the store that I found amusing. The shirt was sleeveless and it said "ALL THIS" really big across the chest and in small print "and some brains too" haha I thought that was kinda funnie. I felt kinda weird cuz like I was the only asian in that group interview. There were two white guys who were probably in college. And then there were two white chics who just graduated from Presentation and Prospect and then there was me. Hehe. So the interview took about 2 hours and then I went home, ate ice cream yum yum, a rice cracker, changed and went to badminton.

Badminton was so fun today! He didn't yap much and I partnered up with Anh Tu for doubles. Dang we had hecka fun. We won the first match, lost the second one to the that one really good guy and Chau. Then we played John and his mix partner and they kept setting up and I got really good net smashes. I was happy about that. I even hit John really hard with one of those smashes. Haha. He was all like dang that hecka stings. Watta loser. Then we played this really good guy in the red shorts, I would really like to know what high school he came from. I'm thinking Indy... Yuck. But yah him and his partner, Steven's friend, played us and we had really good rallies! They were so funnie. This one time Anh Tu went for a shot that was totally out and she set it up but he messed up and Anh Tu got it back and he messed up again hitting it into the net. We got hecka loud the gym was all looking at us. Oh well haha. Then me n Anh Tu were down 8-13 they were serving. They kept messing up and we went up to 12-13. Then they won but man that game was so fun. I hadn't run around like that in a long time. That was the best game so far. Then we played against these overfelt guys but they wanted to play mix. I played with Kim (guy) and we were losing. I didn't play up very well that one time. Haha. Oh well. Then class ended.

Me, Ky, Thanh and Ellis were walking out and Kim Jr. came running over and me her Jimmy and Thanh were fighting to get into Ky's car. Me and Kim wanted to get a ride to the parking lot. I wanted shot gun and so did Kim so we're like okay we'll sit shot gun together since we're getting out soon anyway. So as soong as Ky unlocks the door I shoved my way past Jimmy and got into shot gun and the guys had to get into the back. Kim got in with me and we're telling Ky hurry up and go cuz there was a cop who was ticketing ppl for expired meters! So he backs up and we're going forward and the cop looks up and he stops us and says oh no what are you thinking? Me n Kim were like oh but we're just going to the parking lot and the cop is nodding no no. So we get out and laugh and high five each other. The cop's all saying to Ky do you really like your car? Do you want to keep it? Haha so me n Kim walked to the parking lot and we tried running to race Ky. You can guess who won. In the parking lot Ky stops behind Kim's car and we talk n stuff. They wanted to go to Mc D's but me n Kim were like nah its koo. So they left and we went home.

My garaged door was broken yesterday. The spring broke so today this guy came over to fix it so it was working fine when I got home. That's all!

2002-06-19T21:57:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I went to english, got a partner for this 6 page presentation/research thing we have to do, got to know her etc n introduced her to the class. Before I went to class I bought my book for like 41 bucks... wat a rip and it was used too! Shiet. Then I went to wait in that looooooong ass line to add my eng class and I got to the door but it was time for class and my professor doesn't like tardies! So I had to leave. NOooooo I was so close yet so far away. So I went to class. Then she let our class go early so I waited in line again. GOD it was even longer than before. I waited forever! It moved soooo freaking slow and it was hot and once I got inside the lobby it was stuffy! I finally got to the receptionist and turned the add slip in. I was all expecting to pay $33 cuz I don't get the R-40 form anymore. I was like deng 33 bucks is hella. And she gives me the white paper and that was it. I was like uh don't I have to pay and I look at the slip and it says my balance is $0. And she's like um.. I was like oh yah yah nevermind I forgot about the high school thing. And she's like yah. MUHAHAHAHA The counselor made a mistake and registered me as a high school student when I went to talk to them. Yesss so I'm taking the course for free! SUPER KEWL! So that's a highlight of my day. I took Trinh (CSF Trinh) home because she had no ride and she was begging me. I stopped by Cold Stone for an application but they're out!

I went to Valley fair to apply for jobs and at the GAP this girl went up to me n said Hi. I was like Hi! But I had no idea who she was. I was like oh so you work here eh and stuff like that. I kept trying to think where do I know her from. I had a weird feeling that she wasn't on my good side but she wasn't really on my bad side either. Then I had a flash of her in bummy clothes like black skater shoes and shorts n a t-shirt. And then it hit me. Badminton. She was my friend's badminton partner from Del Mar. And I was like ooo I see now. So yah talk to her a lil and that was all then I left.

On the way home dang 280 was packed with traffic. I made it home, changed and then went to badminton class. Class was very boring, the teacher spent forever blah blahing on how to play n the dimensions of the court.

Today I went to English and yeah didn't do much in class. Second half of the class was spent in the library and she let us go early. I wanted to buy a permit but I forgot my mula and I didn't see anyone I knew so I couldn't borrow mula. So I went home, did nothing for a long time. Then I played 3 mixes of DDR. I did the 3rd, 4th, and the extra mix. THen I watched news and skootered around outside for a lil then changed for badminton. I went to school and bought a permit then went to class. Gosh it was hella boring, I shoulda took cross step training. The teacher is so slow at explaining stuff and I got to play like twice... it was so boring. Hm there's no one I can really have fun with in that class. Ky doesn't talk to me much. Thanh and Ellis are into themselves. I'm very sad. Oh and when I was walking to my car I forgot where I parked so I walked kinda far and I was like hey I know I didn't park this far. And so I looked around and there was this older woman looking around too. We looked at each other and laughed. Then I found my car. Geez, I'm slow for a few mins and there's a long line of ppl trying to get out. So I was smart and I took the other lane, I sorta cheated cuz you're only suppose to turn left in that lane so I cut this one person off and turned right. Oh well. As I was driving home there was this dumb guy in a messed up green Dodge Intrepid. And he kept speeding up to be even with me and he kept looking across at me. I was like WTF. When I was behind in traffic he'd slow down to be even and look at me. And I'd look back at him. I glared but I dun think he could see my eyes cuz I had shades on. But that stupid ass mofo. Hella pissed me off. WTF is his problem keep lookin at me. He even had the balls to smile or something at me, I was gonna flip him off but there was too much traffic in front of me and I didn't wanna take my eyes off it too much. Stupid ass.

Tomorrow morning I don't have english cuz the teacher gave us the day off. I want to go jogging tomorrow morning. Hopefully Jan will accompany me. Jen Long is going with me I think. I hope I can get other ppl to jog too. I feel so unproductive. I also have a group interview for a job tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to get the job. Wish me luck.

2002-06-16T22:34:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, Saturday, me, Ky, Thanh, Ellis, and Kim went out to go play pool. It was pretty fun and it was amusing to watch Kim play. She doesn't play pool very well. The first time I think she missed the cue ball. Then she hit the cue ball but missed the other ball. Then she sank the cue ball. Then after that she sank the wrong ball (the opposite team's ball) and then she finally sank a ball. The game ending shot was up to her and she called out the right corner pocket. She hits the 8 ball and sinks it... but in the left corner pocket so we lost. Haha. Man she was trying to do this stick pick up thing where she put the stick on the floor and tries to left it up using only her feet. She looked like and idiot doing it in the middle of a pool hall haha. Man when we played pool there were balls flying off the table everywhere! I forgot who but someone sent this one ball off the table and it rolled almost across the entire half the the pool hall. Balls were flying left and right, it was dangerous! And there was this one shot that was hard for me to reach and I had to put a lot of force into hitting it. So I tried to hit it really hard but I scrapped my right hand on this metal thing on the table and it rips a chunk of skin off my forefinger and my middle finger. Dang I was hecka bleeding. I never woulda thought I'd get hurt by a freaking pool table. Kim got me bandaids but I was still bleeding a lot. Phat and Jeanette showed up at Edgies and we played some more. When we were finishing up I saw Hang n some of her friends come in.

After pool we went to go eat at Denny's. On the freeway freaking Phat was high beaming us. Ky went pretty fast, he reached 100 at one point and Phat was still following! Later on he noticed a cop following him so he was going pretty slow. We didn't see Phat behind us and the cop was gone. Ky was like oh man I hope he didn't pull Phat over. Soon we saw Phat behind us again so everything was all good. We went to Denny's n ate. Freaking Ellis! He's such a messy eater! He like freaking drooled and it fell on his shirt. And then later he dropped food on his shirt and he did something else too! Man hecka dirty. Ellis had to eat pure sugar cuz he lost to Ky at this throwing game. Once we finished eating and all Jeanette, Phat and Ellis had to leave. Ellis is such a good boy, he went home to call Mimi before she left for Vietnam. So me, Thanh, Ky and Kim went back to Kim's place to hang.

I ate a whole bunch of Hershey's caramel there. It was sooo yummy. Kim kept feeding me more and I was like no must stop. We played ping pong and it was fun cuz I hadn't played it in so long. It brings back memories of my elementary days when I played with this one girl neighbor. Then Ky and Thanh had this bet going on about who would win in ping pong and loser does 40 push ups. Ky won and Thanh did 3 push ups n said double or nothing for another game. Thanh won the second game so he didn't have to do them. While I was watching Kim kept trying to get me to do a handstand and I was like no. Then we played the 10 finger game but stupid Ky stopped playing after we asked like 3 questions! That mofo. Stop being a baby! Hehe. So me n Kim got Thanh and Ky to agree to let us put make up on them. Whooo it was too funnie. I put on Ky's make up and ur talking to a person who has never put on make up before. Dang I made him pretty ugly. Haha. He puckered up and I put lipstick on him but the lipstick kinda ran outside his mouth. Then I put on green eye shadow for him. I thought I did the eyeshadow pretty nice. Man the colors did not match. The lipstick was like bright pink and the eye shadow was green. Ky was trying to make the lipstick more neater n cleaned it off where it ran outside his lips. He did it so expertly it makes me wonder how he knoes....
Kim was putting on make up on Thanh and he had blue and white eye shadow on and Kim put on the same lipstick on him. Haha He didn't look so ugly but it was funnie all the same. Ky and Thanh made me think of those ladies in Mulan when she went to get approval to be a bride. I got Kim's camera and took a pic of Thanh. He puckered up to the camera it was so funnie. I can't wait to get that developed. Stupid Ky took off his make up before I could take a pic of him. Loser! After that me, Thanh and Ky went home.

This morning my freakin dad pissed me off. Ugh but lets not get into that.

So I spent the day doing pretty much nothing. Ky called me up n asked me if I wanted anything since they were at Wendys but I was like nah I'm eating dinner now. After dinner, Ky, Thanh and Ellis came to my house to hang. We played DDR and it was pretty fun. Hadn't played that in awhile and it was making me sweat. Ellis is freaking good. And he looked like a monkey playing to pads at one time. It was pretty funnie. Ky had long legs, bastard, so he didn't have to hop around he just reached with his legs. Ky was pretty funnie to watch. He's so tall and he wasn't that good. After awhile they wanted to play on the controllers. I didn't play the controllers too well so I button mashed. Then it was time for them to go but they thought it was still early so they wanted to go watch the Bourne Identity. Those mofos, went to go watch it without me! I wanted to see that movie! Damn I wish I could go out late. Pisses me off that I can't. How old am I? And I still have a freakin early curfew and I can't even go out that much. Ugh... Pisses the HELL out of me. Man I wanted to go watch. Oh well. So I'm stuck at home and here I am updating my thoughts. Well that's all for now. Tomorrow summer school starts and hopefully I'll get into the classes I want. I'm gonna try to get into English and then Badminton. Ky will be in badminton so it should be fun if I get in. Toodles.

2002-06-13T22:54:00.000-07:00

OMG! I graduated from High School! It's over! Noooo! I'm totally out now... its sad, scary, strange, interesting. This morning for graduation practice they had us sit in the HOT sun for about 2 hours. Omg I was like oh no, I didn't get sunburned from the beach but I'm gonna get sunburned from this practice. I had put on some sunblock already but I asked Danvi for more. It was hooooot, I tried covering my neck with the name paper and I had to use one of my yearbook inserts to cover my legs. After practice I tried to find Mr. Zellner to give him the present but he wasn't in school! Shame on him.

Haha I went home n I went to my sis's graduation. The parents at Chaboya were vicious. As soon as the gates open the parents were all running to claim spots under the shade and steps. While the graduates were being seated hordes of parents just went up to the stage and took pics of their kids which caused more rents to go up and do the same. So us ppl who didn't go up there had this few of just parents. We could barely see the grads at all and the stupid school officials didn't tell them to shoo. Finally it started and my sis was in the 2nd row.

After her graduation I went home, changed, and went to my graduation. Graduation was the thing I totally dreaded, I thought I was gonna have a melt down and cry. But when the real thing came around I didn't feel that sad. And Graduation was pretty fun. During graduation beach balls weren't allowed but ppl brought them anyway and ppl threw them up and hit em around but they were confiscated. We did 'the wave' a lot but it died when it got to the row that was standing up. I got lots of candy leis, I felt the love. Good thing for the candy leis too cuz I was hungry so I ate two chocolates during the ceremony. I got plastic leis, and a real fresh flower lei straight from the grass on the field, thanks to Kim and Clare for that one. Haha it may be ghetto but its the thought that counts so it rocks! They gave that to me when they spotted me walking out after graduation. I hecka hugged them. Aww they're so sweet, I love those two. "Special" ppl in both senses.... hahaha. They were eyeing my candy leis so I gave Clare the nerd candy and Kim the green Taffy. Some parts of graduation was pretty funny. Maureen that crazy mofo, after she got her name called she went hecka crazy and ran down the ramp and jumped up and down shouting. Then we pointed out she forgot her diploma so she had to run back up the ramp to shake hands and pick up her diploma cover. Haha it was too funnie. This one chic had hella leis and it looked like she had no neck. And she was talking on the phone when she went on stage. Man... some ppl... I swear... And then others grabbed the mic and yelled stuff out. I think my class is a bit wild. There were no beach balls thrown around last year, no ppl going crazy, no ppl grabbing the mic. But thats why class of 2002 is so kewl. :] After graduation I couldn't find my parents and in the process of looking for them I saw many others. I saw Tony from Sacramento, Phi Phi who graduated last year, Teak who graduated last year, n others. This one guy put a lei on me and said congrats and I was like uh do you have the right person? He's like yah of course, where's ur sis. I was like uh I dunno. He said something Aileen. And I said I'm not Aileen. And he lifted up my sunglasses and said oh shoot, I'm so sorry. I laughed and gave him back his lei. It was pretty funnie. He was like dang you two look so much alike. I told yes so I've been told, so I've been told. Graduation was pretty fun. I found out my rents went home so I picked up my diploma and went home too.

You know, I still can't believe I graduated. It doesn't seem real. And it definately was not as I expected. I didn't cry, and it wasn't as sad as I thought it would be. That's good. :]

Congratulations to the Silver Creek class of 2002!

p.s. check the beach entry below, its completed

2002-06-12T22:19:00.000-07:00

OMG! Today was sooooo fun! Sunset Beach rocked!

My day starts at 7:30 in the morn. I get up eat breakfast and begin to make the cake I have to bring to the beach. My mom wanted me to bake a cake for the family too so I made two cakes. Kim said she was gonna stop by around 8 to help but she was very late. So while the cake baked, I brushed my teeth n stuff and I had one contact in before Kim rang my doorbell. So yah 8:30 we're just hanging around and checking on the cakes. While I washed the dishes I kept getting these phone calls from this weird storage company and they're like hey we're gonna send a truck to your house can you tell me how to get there? I'm like excuse me!? Weirdos... So 9 Kim leaves and I get the other beach stuff I need together. 9:45 Vi comes and I do some last min stuff and we go to Safeway at 10. We arrive there at 10:04 and we found out everyone left already! I was like what!? Those mofos they didn't wait, I can't believe! So yah Peter, Danvi, Jannie, Kimiko and Justin were still there. We waited for Ky to come with Kim, Thanh and Ellis. We got walkie talkies n then took off. Freakin Ky, trying to be all racer n crap hecka goes fast so me and Vi follow him. We're waaaay ahead of Peter and Jannie and so we're thinking oh yah we're making good time. UNTIL FREAKING KY gets us lost! We didn't take the right exit and kept going on 17 and ended up at boardwalk where we had to stop at a motel to ask for directions! So the big lead we thought we had diminished and we find out way back on to the right roads. We decide not to follow Ky anymore and he keeps trying to speed off. HA sucker. He speeds down this one road and he missed the right turn that he was suppose to make . So me and Vi go there before those SUCKERS got there and laughed when they finally arrived. I tried to warn Kim on the walkie talkie but she was out of range.

Man the beach is like out in no where land. You have to pass by all these hills and strawberry farms n what not before you actually reach the beach. But its really nice when you do get there. The sand is nice and the beach for the most part is clean. Me and Vi walk along the shore and pick up shells and sand dollars. Then we hung out in the main area for awhile. Jen made this boat out of sand and we hung out down on the shore. So Kim's like hey I'll take off my shirt if you will so I'm like sure so I went back to where all our stuff is and took off my shirt n she put sun block on my back. Me and Vi conspired to throw Mimi into the water. I gave Kim my camera. So we rush Mimi grab her walk into the FREEZING water and toss her in. MUHAHAHA I forgot what happened next. Thanh, Ky and Brian picked up Kim and tossed her into the ocean. I was too far away to do anything but it was kinda funnie to watch. She struggled so hard all in vain. And then a few mins later I'm standing near the shore and all of a sudden Mimi and Ellis rush me and Mimi grabs my upper body and Ellis has my legs. I sorta fight but I admit I didn't fight as hard as I should have. When they started carrying me into the water I see Kim running outta the corner of my eye to try to get one of them off me. I got Mimi off me but Ellis had my legs so I had to put my hands down in the water. He let go of my legs but it was too late and this wave crashes into me. My face gets wet and there's sand all over me. BASTARDS!

So now I'm drenched in cold sea water and there's sand on my face and all over my body. I tried washing it off but only some of it came off. Afterwards me n Kim were like alright we got nothing left to lose, we're already wet so lets get people. We tried getting back all the ppl that got us. We shoved many ppl into the sand. We tried tripping Thanh a lot and Hoang. I tripped Hoang but I wanted to shove him more into the sand and he tried to get me back n Kim jumped in too. Haha me n Kim tossed around the football and Tina played a lil. The boys kept trying to take away our football those mofos. Thats when we tackled a few of them n shoved them into the sand. Later on I ate egg rolls and a hotdog. Me n Kim ran along down the shore way down to this one girl's sand castle. Then we went up to the lifeguard post. We went back, played some volleyball, more football.

Around 3 Jen Long, Monyrith, Hanh, Mimi and Kim left. I laid on the matts for awhile n tried to dry off. There was some dead time but then we ate some more. Freakin Sarah she is OUTRAGEOUS! She hella cracks me up. We noticed Thuy n Larry were sleeping in each other's arms and Sarah somehow drew a penis with balls on Larry's back. Oh man it was so hilarious everyone took a pic and we were hecka laughing. I tried to write oooh lala on Thuy but she woke up and she was horrified when she discovered Sarah's drawing on Larry's back. Oh man I was laughing hella hard. I tried cooking my own siskabob but PETER stole mine off the grill. That mofo. Kimiko and Sang had a watermelon eating contest and Kimiko whupped Sang. It was so pathetic. Sang is hella big and Kimiko is small but she hella ate half that watermelon like nothing and Sang was struggling. Sang gave up after awhile and Kimiko almost ate all of hers. So as the winner, Kimiko wanted Sang to be thrown into the water. Sang got his feet wet but he said Kimiko had to come push him in if she wanted him all the way in. Kimiko didn't want to get wet so all the boys ganged up on him and ran and threw him in. It was pretty kewl.

After that we went up to the main area again to eat and just hang. Ky and the boys had a volleyball match going on. Soon it was 5 and we cleaned up to go. I'm happy my cake was gone! Ppl ate it! Yay! I got sand for my mom. Me and Vi buried ppl's slippers haha it was hella funnie. We'd only bury one of the sandals and leave the other on the surface. Thuy was hecka searching for her other sandal and dug thru a whole bunch of sand. She found like 4 other ppl's slippers but she couldn't find hers. Haha she was hecka mad. Me n Vi followed Peter home. Brian had a walkie talkie so we all went together. First there was this big ol tractor that was going soooo slow and it took forever for Peter to pass by it. We got onto the freeway and Vi passed up Peter. We were leading and we got onto the highway 17 ramp and I told Brian n Peter to turn there. Brian made the ramp be we lost Peter somewhere. So it was just Brian and us going back. We had a good 20 min lead and I glanced back in the mirror and I'm like oh shit! Is that Ky?? And indeed it is, mister speed racer some how caught up and passed us and then went outta sight. That crazy mofo. While me n Vi were driving home, I thought she was going kinda fast and all of a sudden we pass this side road and there's this motorcycle cop sitting there and he pointed his radar gun right at us. I was like oh shit Vi cop! N she broke and the cop looked like he was gonna go after us but when I glanced back he didn't Whew that was super close. So I radio over to Brian to watch out for the cop and he was like whooaa that was close. Haha. Me n Vi got ahead while Brian got stuck behind this really slow yellow truck. It was holding up the line because in front of it there were no traffic. I got home around 6:30. Dang there was sand everywhere on me. I tried to shake most of it off outside.

So that was the end of the beach day but it was so fun! I enjoyed it much. And I realized that that was probably the last time we as a big group will ever hang out again together like that.

2002-06-11T21:40:00.000-07:00

Beach tomorrow! I'm so excited! I haven't seen the beach in a few months! I gotta bake a cake tomorrow morn though :T

To all my fellow seniors:

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real cool
Stay at home talking on the telephone with me
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can we ever find a job that won't interfere with a tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

We will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

I will miss you guys so much!
