it's been so long since i have written in here. so i'll just begin by telling you all that i have done. so i left off on finals weeks. finished finals on wednesday, so worked and whatnot. left for sf on tuesday and stayed until saturday. san francisco was fun, too bad it was raining the whole time i was there. i did get a chance to buy some shoes at haight, and bindings at purple skunk. did some shopping and ate at kitaro's. even saw three movies. we, as in sondhaya, philip, and me, saw harry potter the night we arrive cause it was the last day that they were playing it. then we watched lord of the rings the next day. and then in the afternoon we meet up with kate, maggie and angie and saw maid in manhattan.
harry potter was an entertaining movie. i really liked lord of the rings, better than the first one. there was definitely more action in the second one and more scenes with legolas. too bad i didn't get to use the ticket that chris gave me. maybe i'll go watch it today. after all, i need to return a book to barnes and sometime at sephora so maybe i'll take in a movie as well. maid in manhattan was okay, entertaining enough to not be boring.
i went boarding on sunday after getting back from sf. that was my first time this season. i had all new gear so i was getting use to it. all was okay, but my boots were killing me. the first wear is usually the most painful. and man, i should have wore thicker socks. i am going to try to hit the slopes again soon. so we shall see.
worked christmas eve. it was so boring.
went to two christmas parties. nice to see relatives and friends again.
now i am at home chilling, literally, need to turn on my heater.
tomorrow my parents have planned for us to go to vegas, i really dislike going there, so hopefully it won't be so bad this time.

finals week is just right around the corner and i still need to do all this reading, boo. last week, i had my molecular bio final. it went alright. it was the usual thick packet and i finished it in about an hour or so, or like an hour an 15. something like that it was so long. I hope i do well. i did decently well on my lab report, tied for the 2nd highest score. i was quite surprised though, but happy of course. so we'll see how i do.
man, i really suck at humanites. i definitely don't have the gift chris has. his writing is so fluid and well, my writting steers clearly from that direction.
let's see, i updated my website. check it out. i think it's linked. oh yeah, i really want to take a ceramics class, but i don't have time for it, i think. and i really shouldn't over work myself, it gets quite exhausting.
i got a new cell, my parents bought it for me. i had been meaning to change plans because i have been going over on my minutes. so since they offered, i accepted, which also saves me some cash.
I recently bought boots, they are burton sapphire 2002. i hope they wear in nicely. I still need to get bindings though.
check this pic out, it's just me running around in circles because chris wanted to check out the specs of my compact flash cards. he just got a new camera, it's way better than mine, but i still like the one i have cause it's small and cute. although his does have an abundant amount of features. oh yeah, that's my desk.

Relaxation begins......I just turned in my lab report for Molecular Bio Lab. I can relax, at least for a little bit now. Thanksgiving break is here...yuppie......now I can catch up on all my reading. Haven't blogged much because I been exhausted from school, work, and etc. Quite glad that I don't have to work for the next few days either. I can catch up on all my lost sleep. I was up till 7 am working on my report. I cranked out about 15 or so pages ( 11 font, double spaced).
I don't have class today for humanites. That makes me very happy because I can chill. I using that time to go to work. The suckie part of today though is that I have an evening class. So I won't get out till late, so maybe i'll go home (arcadia) tomorrow. We'll see how awake I am.
I been a shop-a-holic lately. I need to really stop this bad habit. The plus side is, my account hasn't decreased in value, probably because I been working. I am looking to get some bindings to go with my snowboard. I guess I might as well keep the board I got. 149 cm......is that too long for me.....I riden a 148 so it should be okay. We'll see. Hmm....I should check out some ebay auctions to see that's cheap.
okay....that's it for now, off to work.

Saturday afternoon. I been quite busy lately. I just had a paper for humanities. And the week before that midterms, and whatnot. I am attempting to do some homework, but alas, no motivation to do so. I slept for like 14 hours, the night before i only slept 2 or so. It was a restful sleep. I have this blah paper to write for Molecular Bio. Boo. I should really get cracking on that, but instead I am reading for Humanities. that is until it bores me. That's the plan for this weekend though. My lab and my readings. I can't wait till Thanksgiving. no work and no school, imagine that.
let's see, last weekend, I saw the lion king at the pantages theatre. It was good. next time, i go see it, i'll sit up close. I went with my family and chris and my mom's co-worker went too. Afterwards, we ate at my house, really need to eat something too.
hmm....well....that was a boring entry, oh well. maybe i'll update my site.

Awckkk......
Midterms.....boooo.....i have one today. Dude, I procratinated.....poo. I read two of the four books that we are going to be tested on, but I went to every single class so i know what's up. I decided to answer the reading question. I answer most of them, so that was a confidence booster. I still need to go over my notes, but I am lacking motivation to do so....hmm...remember sheila.....you have work tomorrow and you can't study there because its "unprofessional." Ha, whatevers.....really....i mean, it isn't the most professional place.......i am a little bitter about that......anyways, I plan to quit that job at the end of the quarter and find another one because I know if i continue to work there, I won't want to go into dentistry. And well, I think i should see what it's like somewhere else before I make a final decision. So let's see....yeah....I mean, I am actually glad I work there cause it has expose so many things to me and it's been really insightful.....okay more on this some other time. I am going to go motivate myself to study.
Oh no....getting sleepy....hmmmm?

Grrrr....
ughhh...i can't study. i am attempting to type up my notes. but i've got no motivation. thank goodness i wrote up my lab report. i won't be staying up late.....yuppie. i should hit the hay, but i'm not sleepy yet. i know what would make me sleepy though.....reading.....that always does that to me. i feel all blobby too. i think i'll exercise a bit to make that blobby feeling away. i think i should exercise too. my body feels all tired. i'll start tomorrow. maybe i'll swim some laps, maybe i'll run. i'll definitely do something though. i did clean my bathroom area. finally too. i'll do part two tomorrow. ahhh...rent is coming up soon. still need to collect it from my rommies and hit the bank.
i am thinking about quiting my dental job. i want to find another one that pays more. i'll look into that around 7th week cause then i'll have a new schedule for the next quarter.
chris and i purchased stuff from american eagle. i got myself snowboarding pants. i hope they turn out well. i also ordered some pants, but i am not particularly too fond of ae pant. in fact, i really despise them, yet i still purchase it. i'll probably return it though. I didn't get as much done as I had hope this weekend. so that means a lot of reading for me this week...boo....a midterm on friday too. i hope my ASDA meeting doesn't run too long on thursday. I also have that fundraiser to do. so anyone want to buy any magazines? contact me.

lazy sunday
yesterday, we went out to eat for Sondhaya's Birthday at BJ's. I wasn't sure what to get her, so i decided to go with ballons and cake. it's a mocha cake too. and everybody loves MOCHA. yeah? why? because it's something that doesn't just get sholved off somewhere. see ballons are for that moment. their reaction. the cake is something that is yummy and something you remember. so i figure that i should get something that you can remember. because whtat's the use of getting them something you don't know if they'll like or not. sure, there's the thought, but that's doesn't buy everyone. and i know you know what i am talking about.
so at BJ's I was fiddling with the specs on my camera. I was thinking of getting a new one, but i decided not to. i'll wait a while longer. check this black and white picture out. There's more on my web site if you'd like to see it.

oh yeah, i went over on my cell bill...dahh.....should i get a phone line or just upgrade....hmmm?

Science Library . . . .
I am currently at the UCI Science Library updating my blog. I just got out of lab not too long ago. It was a rather short lab. The goal for tonight is to begin my lab report. It shouldn't be too hard because we didn't have a results section, hence, no results to report one. Also cause i want to try to make it to office hours so i can ask my TA a couple of questions about the lab. Usually, i procrastinate like crazy and stay up really late, which doesn't help me because i am all tired at work and at lab. The weekly quizzes are really killing me. I need to study carefully and stop skimming my notes.
Work was the same. My boss came late, so I was just studying until she came. I am glad that I don't have to work tomorrow. Nice to have that day off cause then I can sleep in. okay, gotta jam.

it has been a while since i blogged. i believe its week 4 now. blahh....i am so behind on everything. i really need and organizer or calendar, or something. i think i have a midterm next week. pretty sure about that. let me and i think another one after that. blah... i was thinking or getting some sort of palm, but that's over-rated don't you think?
anyways, nothing new really. i need some motivation to work on my lab and i am behind on my reading in Hum 3C...ugh.....i figure i should do my mini lab report write up and my lab 3 report write up now so i don't say up till 3 am tomorrow. and then have very little sleep and jack up my sleep schedule as i have been doing since school started.
my basic week looks like this. I wake up at around 8 and leave the apt by 8:30 and head off to work. I work until 12 pm and rush back home to make it to my 1 pm class. on monday i have discussion so I stay there until 3 pm, unless i have errand to run, which i do. i have to deposit money to ASUCI for ASDA. i think that's all i really have to do. Most of the time Chris and I go out to eat. Then I come home, sleep if i am tired. and do My homework. then I do the same thing on Tuesday, but this time I have lab until 5 pm then i come home. sleep if need to. Wednesday is the same as monday. but then i work at my second job after class and make copies for Chris's SAT class if need be. On Thursdays, I work until 3 pm. Then I have meeting with ASDA after that. Fridays are the same as Mondays, and sometimes i work. The weekends are my time to catch up on sleep. Let's see how this week goes.
Well, i should get back to my lab.

Week 2
man, it's week two and i'm stressed already. gosh...i feel like there isn't enough time for me to do everything. i'm going nuts here. i think it's cause i never really worked and had school coincide with each other. That's probably it and i'm sure it'll just take some time getting used to it. I work pretty much everyday in the mornings from 9-12 and a 6 hour shift one friday. still not sure whether i have to work on wednesday though. it'll be a good rest day for me if i don't. then i have my other lab job. that's pretty laid back, at least for now.
so why am i stressing, maybe lack of sleep. i really need to manage my time better. overview of today. I went to work, then class. then chris and i went to costco, and since we were there we looked aound ikea, then he wanted to go to aaron brothers. he go a table, one of those artist's one. a good deal, it was more than 50% off. we also checked out tall and mouse crafts. i needed some supplies to make something for asda.
i am blogging because i needed to relieve some stress. i am doing my lab write up, the results took me forever, but i got through it. i still need to do my discussion and go over the results. man, i hope i finish this baby before 1. then i have to prep for tomorrow's lab. we have a quiz and i want to ACE it.
i have so much crap to do, okay no more procastinating. i really need to get ahead of things. i went home this weekend and man, i just never get anything done there. okay...hopefully, i can use this weekend to relax and catch up as well as get ahead.
oh yeah. i got a cd burner today. it's a tdk velo cd 48x/16x/48x. i think i got a good deal on it. it burns cds in 2 and a half minutes. all i need to do now is upgrade my computer. and a lot of other things. okay, i should get back to that lab, i want to get at least some sleep tonight.

gosh....i am so tired. i am at home in arcadia and i am so tired. i took like 3 naps today. very short naps. anyways, i think i will go to sleep after this. i just wanted to update so i wouldn't have to write a long ass blog. so today...saturday....this is what i did. I woke up pretty early, around 9. I was cold. i tend to wake up when i get cold. i took my shower and a bunch of weird stuff....hmmmm......one of which was tgif onion rings. ya know the kind that you can buy at Sam's Club. i think that's why i have been so tired today. there's must be crazy amount of MSG in that thing.
ahhh....so i went to a snowboarding shop with my brother because he wanted to get a stomp pad and a lease for his board. i looked around cause the store was having a liquidation sale. Maybe i'll go there tomorrow before going back to school to get some socks. and maybe i'll think about getting some gear. i wouldn't know what to get though. i still need to read up on stuff. i better start cracking with the snowboarders magazine i got. in due time. i think i can afford it, in fact i know i can. it's just i don't just wanna buy anything because it's cheap. i think leaning toward VANS boots because i had good experience with them in the past. still debating on what kind of bindings i should get. i really like the step-ins, so we'll see. right now i am leaning toward those.
I also went car shopping with my dad and brother. I think my family will be purchasing an ACURA MDX.
well, i am tired so i am going to retire for the evening.

geez, i am absolutely exhausted; even though i didn't have class today. I did have work on the other hand. Man oh man does charting really make me tired. I'm glad i don't have work tomorrow though. i can sleep in. it will do me some good. It was slow at work for a while, then things started to pick up again. here's my basic job description, i.e., what i basically do. I call insurance companies and check on the claim status of patients. process billings to insurances. and all the other miscellaneous things that the office manager needs me to do. So basically you can say i am the administrative assitant/receptionst. anyways, enough about work.
I finally went to ikea to return the drapes i had bought. I decided to look around and ended up getting 2 more RIBBA frames. Then i made a quick stop to Barnes and Noble to get a couple of books that Chris wanted. I was too lazy to look for them myself, so i just asked the customer service people. ahead of me was this guy asking about the STAR WARS episode II on paperback. he must have been a really big fan. the lady at the register commented me on my scarf and outfit. tee hee.
so i came home and watched the thursday night line up on nbc. it was okay. i did see off centre though. Ewan (the British dude) doesn't look as cute this season. i like his hair better last season. i also think he gained some weight. i think chow looks better this season. i think he lost some weight. anyways. enough of that.
it's only 12:07 A.M. and i am already enhausted. i guess it's cause i was up so early. since i have to go to work and all.
hmmm.....onto other things. this whole week, it's basically just been class and work. i had lab on tuesday, it took so long buy it was fun. we got to make our own gels. my experiment didn't turn out so well; i was kinda bummed, but it's still salvagable. I have a cool partner this time. we were getting rushes when we were loading the wells in our gel. first -timers, what can i say.
yesterday, in my humanities class, the professor was sharing one-liners from our first assignment. I was happy cause i got 3 mentions. well, that's it for now, time to go study, or sleep, one or the other.

Rewind......
Saturday. I am suppose to be reading the Plato Symposium for my humanities class. It's about homoerotic love. I guess i'll get to that later. Most of the day has gone by.....i woke up quite early this morning....oh around 8-ish. I slept quite early. I did my morning calls. It's a weekend so it's great cause i can make as many phones calls as i want. during the weekdays i am really stingy about picking up calls. unless if its mobile to mobile.
Philip and I went to fry's to get his ribbon thing for his computer and to FOREYES. I needed to pick up my contacts. As we were getting ready to head back home, we saw this strange man conducting some sort of strange ritual in the parking lot next to his car. Philip wanted to slap him. that would have been interesting if he did.
I also purchased books from Barnes and Noble. It's way cheaper to get your books there. So i am going to return the ones that i bought from the textstore and bookstore.
Friday. Today was the first day of class. I went to work in the morning then went to class. I only had one class...humanities 3c....its about ambition and desire in relation to humanity. Work was fine. I learned how to use the computer with the insurance stuff. did some filing. made a bunch of calls. i wonder how often we get paid. i still have to ask about that. I don't have work on monday. kinda nice....cause monday is a very busy day....with it being the first workday and all.
Chris got a hair cut. he's gone through so many styles. I went to 99 ranch and got some food. they have all these goodies there.
Thursday. I trained for the part-time dental receptionist position. It was kinda scary at first because they lady just started me by calling insurance companies to get information on patients. by the end though, i got the hang of it. so I guess i got the job cause I'll be working in the morning every day. wow...a really job. it was also the last day of welcome week. we got a good amount of people to sign up for ASDA. i'm glad. i also went on a job interview. it was more informal.
saw the premier of FRIENDS. i thought it was alright. we'll see what happens.
Wednesday. I went on a job interview for a part time dental receptionist position. The lady asked me if i could come in tomorrow to train. so I was wondering.....did I get the job?
well, that's as far back as i can recollect.
Saturday. I am suppose to be reading the Plato Symposium for my humanities class. It's about homoerotic love. I guess i'll get to that later. Most of the day has gone by.....i woke up quite early this morning....oh around 8-ish. I slept quite early. I did my morning calls. It's a weekend so it's great cause i can make as many phones calls as i want. during the weekdays i am really stingy about picking up calls. unless if its mobile to mobile.
Philip and I went to fry's to get his ribbon thing for his computer and to FOREYES. I needed to pick up my contacts. As we were getting ready to head back home, we saw this strange man conducting some sort of strange ritual in the parking lot next to his car. Philip wanted to slap him. that would have been interesting if he did.
I also purchased books from Barnes and Noble. It's way cheaper to get your books there. So i am going to return the ones that i bought from the textstore and bookstore.
Friday. Today was the first day of class. I went to work in the morning then went to class. I only had one class...humanities 3c....its about ambition and desire in relation to humanity. Work was fine. I learned how to use the computer with the insurance stuff. did some filing. made a bunch of calls. i wonder how often we get paid. i still have to ask about that. I don't have work on monday. kinda nice....cause monday is a very busy day....with it being the first workday and all.

first day of class......
ahhh...it has been a while. I been busy, as you can see. here's what i've been up to this whole week. I guess i'll back-track. i am so sore and tired. i really should get some sleep cause i have to get up early to go to work. school actually hasn't started yet. but it will, in 12 hours, at least for me that is. I only have one class. isn't that great. hmm...i'll continue this tomorrow, my neck is tired and i think i should go to sleep.

I'm on a high......
currently listening to gigi d'agostino --- i'll fly with you. sitting at home in arcadia in my old room, better known as Sophia's Play Pen. it's quite hot in here and i'm sure my flannel pants aren't helping. what can i say.....all my clothes seem to disappear everytime i come home. i don't really care though. geez, i can barely see the monitor and i am wearing my contacts too. i am practically squinting. maybe it's cause i have been wearing my contacts all day and they are a bit dry. i have one more pair left until i run out. this one has a tear too.....i really don't think i should be wearing it, but oh well...i'll change them when school starts. pretty soon, i'd say....on FRIDAY......boooo.
much better.....i change the setting on my computer to 800 by 600 so that i can see much better. ahhhhh.....today was such an exhausting day. let me tell you what i did. I woke up pretty early....at around 9ish. that's pretty good for me because usually i get up at around 12ish. so i take my shower and get ready to go out.
my mom, dad, brother (Benedict), sister (sophia), and me all head out to go to this EYE place cause i need to get new contacts. remember i only have ONE pair left. But first we went to go and get gas. my goodness....that took forever....and all that shouting.....this is what happened. Don't you just hate it when people take up the whole space when they are filling up gas and there's that open gas pump behind them. well, that's what happened to me. So I usually fill up my car with SPECIAL......well, that didn't happen today because the hose wouldn't reach. seeing as how i couldn't move any further. my dad accidental release the regular button and my car filled up with 2 gallons of regular gasoline. Then there's was shouting about....no, you can't do that....so we put super gasoline in it to. so i justed wanted to get it over with. i hate going to the gasoline station cause i can't stand the smell of gasoline. if you look at it this way (which you shouldn't cause i am sure it is really bad for your car) my car did get a distorted version of special gasoline.
our next stop was the eye place. luckily the guy working there usually works at a branch in huntington beach. so he took my order and will call me when my contacts are ready. that should be around tuesday or wednesday. i hope someone comes with me. i don't want to go there alone.
chinatown/downtown was our next destination. my sister wanted to go there because she wanted to get a dress for homecoming. it is supposedly cheaper over there. what a disaster. so we got there and bam! no one knew where the fashion district was (this area where they sold dresses...what we were looking for.) i surely did a lot of walking....i probably got a tan too. After walking several, several blocks, calling people who we thought would know where the fashion district was......we finally found the place. we looked long and hard......bargained here and there and finally found A dress for my sister. My mom picked it out. She's quite proud of herself. i'd have to admit, my mother has pretty good taste. My sister on the other hand has horrible taste in my opinion. She kept pointing out all these OLD lady dresses. I tried on her dress when we got home. It fit me quite nicely. My dad was insisting that they take a picture so that they could show my sister. I must admit though, that dress did look quite nice on me.
Our last stop of the day was the cathedral. My mother wanted to check out this new cathedral. I thought it was too commercialize and not traditional. It's on temple and in between broadway and grant, i think, if you ever want to check it out.
Wait...there was one last, last stop. This place at rosemead. my dad wanted to get some tofu. oh yeah...we ate at chinatown. There was this one place where my dad was bargaining with this short old lady. she really let her back go. i better start drinking milk or taking supplements....i don't want to turn out like her.
We ate at the SAM WOO CAFE at chinatown. They have the WORST BOBA ICED TEA. THE WORST!
after church, we went to eat at coco's. i haven't been there in a while. their food isn't all that. that's probably why.
i am really tired. i still have to go and get my car fixed tomorrow. poo. oh well....it must be done.
Friday.I saw Ballistic with my sister. Surprisingly, i also saw my brother there too with his friends. I liked it because i like that type of action. i don't want to give anything at all so i won't say anything else. My sister, on the hand, didn't like it that much. I thought the little boy was so cute.
Thursday. Chris's parents came to visit. They came down because Ewen is moving into the dorms. They are so cute.
philip is coming down tomorrow. i can't wait. then it'll be a full house. yuppie.

cute guy sighting......
I went to AF today and met this cute guy that worked there. he just moved from hawaii. he likes it here cause the weather over there is always HOT. he says he like it here better because the weather is much cooler. i would think that living in hawaii would be great though. but i wouldn't know since i've never lived there. i think its just the scenery that would attract me to such a tropical paradise. he's tall and slender, has brown hair. not like the regular AF guys. he forgot to take off my sensor so when i went to another store, it went off. so i went back to AF. odd think is that i didn't even hear it when i walked out of their store. it's cause the music ws so loud. i figured that out when i went back to get the sensor taken off. so as i got back in line and he was like, "hmmm.. (facial expression)..i wonder why she's back." so i told him that he forgot to take off my sensor. he's like..."oh it's cause i wanted you to come back..." and i was like "...of course...." which is odd...cause i was thinking "...hmmm...i kinda wanted to go back and chit chat someone."

Saturday Events......
Cindy and Brian came to visit today! As I was getting ready for their arrival, I couldn't find anything to wear. I feel all blob-by and extremely bloated. why? because my period is coming. I noticed that every month there's this period of time when i indulge in food and become bloated and well, it's not a good thing. After my period I feel normal again and picking out something to wear is a cinch. I feel better now though after swimming; i feel like i've exercised some and also feel healthier.
Anyways, I digress. So as I was saying..... Cindy and Brian came to visit. We chilled at my place for a while. We all had a bagel and cream chesse before going to pick up sue to go to South Coast. We were there for about 3 hours or so. Poor Brian. He was a good sport about it. Didn't complain at all. After the mall we came back to my place and played some old school NINTENDO. Super Mario Brothers. That was fun because I haven't played that game in so long.
We waited for Chris to get off work. Then we all headed to Dave and Buster's at the Irvine Spectrum. Chris and I played some arcade games before we ate. We played Daytona 500...something....racing. The first time I came in 2nd, but the second time to we, I came in first. yuppie! There was this other game. house of the dead...i'm not too good at it though. There was also this so-called Magician walking around. His first few tricks were COLD and DRY. But his last trick wowed us all.
The food at Dave and Buster's was pretty good. I had the Blackened Chicken Pasta . It was good, nice and tasty. The flavoring was just right and the chicken was nice and tender. I would go there again. I know Chris liked it too because when he finished his food (which was pretty fast), he started and ended with mine. Chris had the Jack Daniel's Sirlion Steak. His mashed potatos were yummy. Sue had Bowfingers. CIndy had (i think) a Parmesean Crusted Chicken Caesar. It was a nice huge salad. Brian had the Cajun Shrimp Alfredo Pasta. It was a delicious meal all in all.
oh yeah. I got this really cute patch from hot topic. It's a care bear patch...the good luck bear. and it's green...maybe i'll take a picture of it so ya all can see it. Just need to decide where to put it.
Talked to Ruby online today. Apparently it's been raining like crazy over there in Hong Kong. She sounds like she is having A LOT of fun. But she ain't too thrilled with all the rain that is recently paying them a visit. they are getting the works, thunder and lighting. I can't wait till she gets back.

Miso Soup
Outta breathe. Sat in the Jacuzzi not too long ago and swam a bit. Stationing yourself in the water can do that to you. anyways. it was relaxing, also my lazy ass way of exercising.
I made miso soup today. it was a bit strong. next time i am going to add more water. I also made califronia rolls again. those things take a lot of preparation. or is it just me? tomorrow, i think i will make meatballs to go with pasta and mushroom sauce. I will also study for my DATs. i am going to attempt to finsh a section. I MUST...I MUST... i can do it. and maybe on saturday i'll take a subject test. we'll see.
on my short list of to do things. I will make my about me page and attempt to integrate my two websites. my old site and my new site. Hopefully i do that very soon and not put it off.
well, i am kinda tired. maybe i'll nap, maybe i won't, but just know that i'll still be doing something. oh yeah...today i tasted japanese beer, asahi....it was super dry...very bitter and yuckie.

Sushi
I had work today. I work every wednesday. but i don't really do much these days cause my boss and head boss are putting together protocols for this new graduate class. So i did my work stuff. Got paid today. Wasn't too big of a paycheck, but hey it's just extra money. i'm sure during the school year, it'll be better. but that's ok...these days i am much to lazy to do anything BIG. After work I went to the supermarket. Bought supplies to make dinner. I like to buy my ingredients the day i cook it. I like it FRESH...what can I say. Wendy came over too. so she help me prepare dinner. She brought over some somen. it's a type of japanese noddle that you eat cold with a special type of sauce.
Yesterday, Chris and I ate at Tenko. It's a japanese style restuarant that i think is owned by chinese people. maybe? Anyways, that's where I got the idea to make california rolls and hand rolls. They turned out pretty well, so i am proud of myself. Although, I will add more imitation krab meat flakes next time. This was my very first time making it and i am glad it went well. I also made pasta. I tried out this mushroom sauce that i looked up online from allrecipes.com. That's usually where I get all my recipes from, if not from my parents. That turned out pretty well to, wendy liked it. Chris, not so much because it did't have meat. He's a MEAT man.
That's pretty much what i did today. right now I am looking at this one picture from my vacation from canada. it's really pretty. Ever heard of Chateau Lake Louise?

Pain......
my EYES are burning. I woke up pretty early today, at least much earlier than usual. my dentist appointment went pretty well. I got the gentle lady. it's great, that feeling after you get your teeth cleaned cause it's just refreshing. The down side is my eyes are killing me. They are burning me and i don't know what to do. i think it's my allergies acting up cause i didn't take my CLARINEX. debating whether to apply Naphcon A or Clerz to relieve this burning sensation on my eyes. I decided to go with the clerz because i just got it from my dad before i left for irvine. Not much relief.
so as I was saying, the leady that cleaned my teeth was really nice. She knows all about my siblings and we chatted about that. but anyways, i just got from denny's. Steve and Erwim came down to visit. Right now they are singing a song about being constapated (spelling?). but enough about that. i still need to get my eyes check, but i might wait till next year to do that, but i am not too sure about that. for i have only 2 pairs of contacts left. I better get some soon. hmm...i better check prices online.
okay, i should go now. I have to make my way to the supermarket sometime soon, i'm outta bottled water. oh yes, pardon my last few blogs, i have been much too lazy to re-read them.

Washing the Dishes.......
i'm back home in Arcadia. Here i get nothing done. well, not really, i do get some things done. like LAUNDRY. oh and i get my weekly fruits. and there's the supplies that i collect. toilet paper, paper towels, etc. but that stuff doesn't come free. it's odd every time i come, it seems that it's Sheila's Turn to Wash the Dishes. so now I have to go wash the dishes. poo. i really don't like to because it makes my hand dry and well that just doesn't feel good. I guess that's what lotion is for. anyways, i better go wash them dishes.

finally......
today...pretty much bummed around all day. I did get a couple of things accomplished. i finally finished going my change of address thing. I finally sent in for my online prints. From my vacation in canada and other pictures i had that i wanted to get prints of. i also finally cleaned out my compact flash cards.
now all i have to do is buy an album for my pictures and organized my junk. i also got chris to post up my auction. hopefully it sells. I found another pair of sunglasses, but i don't know if i should bid on them. i'll think it over.
tomorrow, i am going home. why? because i have a dentist appointment at 8:45 in the morning.....freaking A...so early. i might as well get my eyes checked too and rotate my tires. better write this stuff down.
hmmm....i have another interview on thurs, but i don't know if i can take the job, i might not have enough work award to do it. i'll have to look into that. onto other things, i gotta start my guitar self lessons. just too lazy to take out chris's guitar because its so hard to put back in. school is starting soon, i better get a head start. and finalize my schedule and buy that parking permit. ahhh...so much to do.....ever get that feeling, you finish one thing, but you think up more things that you have to do. well, that's life for you.

bumming around......
i have been a bum all day. all i did was eat and watch tv. i need to do more productive things. I woke up at 1:30 in the afternoon. i did get my sunglasses though. it was a disappointment. it did look good, but it didn't fit my face shape. i have a pretty small nose and those sunglasses are for someone with a fuller nose. so i don't know if i can return it, but i think i might just ebay them off.
other things that have been going on. philip came down south recently. we painted the town RED. well not really. we went to tgif on wednesday. it's been a while since we were there. jesse, thresa, wendy, mike, janette, philip, and me afterwards went to a secret garden. mike introduced us to it. it's quite nice, you have a forest, desert, and a waterfall all in one. oh shadow people too. afterwards, wendy and philip found some crates......hehehe.
then we all helped to build philip's bed, but due to an unfortunate accident...it was not meant to be. hmm....i am kinda tired, even though i didn't do much today. I did update my site though.

I woke up at 1:30 in the afternoon. i did get my sunglasses though. it was a disappointment. it did look good, but it didn't fit my face shape. i have a pretty small nose and those sunglasses are for someone with a fuller nose. so i don't know if i can return it, but i think i might just ebay them off.
other things that have been going on. philip came down south recently. we painted the town RED. well not really. we went to tgif on wednesday. it's been a while since we were there. jesse, thresa, wendy, mike, janette, philip, and me afterwards went to a secret garden. mike introduced us to it. it's quite nice, you have a forest, desert, and a waterfall all in one. oh shadow people too. afterwards, wendy and philip found some crates......hehehe.

i don't think so, thank you very much.....
I won an auction today. It was for a pair of sunglasses. my heart was beating so fast because i waited until the last 45 seconds to bit. so that was my Rush for the day.
I also saw Serving Sara. It was entertaining, but not all that.
Big 2. that card game that i'm sure all of you have played, in junior high, high school, and whatnot. anyways, i was playing chris and he pulled out a 3 card straight. i was like, what the.....i don't think so. i mean i've NEVER seen anyone pull that out before. and we never said those were allowed, SO THERE. I called Wayne and he agreed with me. Then chris called his brother Ewen and he said yeah, but it depends on the VERSION you're playing. VERSIONS??? okay, seeing as how we did not initiate the 3 card straight, they are illegal. see i was kicking ass. then i see a spontaneous stunt, like so. Anyways, i like the normal way big two is played. none of that crazy endless straights and whatnot, almost like playing with no rules.
tired, sleeping now. nite.

blah...blah....blah......
i baked today. I made blueberry muffins and chocolate chip cookies. the muffins turned out fine, but i think i should have added more crumps. the cookies were too sweet, next time, i'll add less chocolates. i looked up these recipes onlines and wanted to give them a try. they weren't all that just to let you know. on friday, wendy and I went shopping. I got this cookie book from borders. it's great... it has nice illustration and the stuff in it is good too.
i started a new site. i think i'll mix my current site and this one into one. mostly, my new site is going to be my new domain. anyways, both of them are updated. i am thinking about chaging a couple of things and well that's too much of a pain, so maybe i'll start fresh.
I saw xXx. It was entertaining. we wanted to see Serving Sara, but didn't make it in time. So we saw xXx. hmm...it's late, i better go to sleep. i have church tomorrow.

Random......
my computer is back up and running, but it still has minor problems. I think i may reformat to 98 soon. better safe than sorry, ya know. anyways, the maintenance guy is here now fixing the little things that aren't up to par. he's been here a while actually, more than an hour. anyways, i have work today, so after he is done i am going to go there, put in a couple of hours. today is pay day. yuppie. well not really because I don't work much, thus....i don't make that much money. I really need to get another job or something.
I went to cabazon with Chris on monday. I didn't get much...just a beanie from North Face, wrist bands from puma, and a tie from J. Crew. I like the tie...it's super-girly. pink and all. Chris didn't buy anything, wow...except for pretzels, but that doesn't really count.
i'm at my new place now, I moved last week. Rancho San Joaquin is a nice place; i have a bigger place now. If you love golf, you'll love it here. moving was a big pain. I have so many bruises because of it. some of them are pretty big too. anyways, we are going to have a house warming once everyone moves in. well, a small get together sorta thing.
i recently purchased a shelf from ikea, i forgot what it was called, but it's nice, maybe i'll take a picture of it. I am pretty much all moved in, just little things need to be sorted out. I still have to get a shoes rack, kitchen mats, and another oddvar stool. basically little novelty things. so last week, i finally decided to built my oddvar. It took me so long, it was hard and took so much effort. man. i guess the screw were scored in too well. i am proud of my creation though. oh yeah, chris helped a little, i didn't want him to cause I wanted to label it "made by SHEILA". yes, I was going through an ego-trip.
i cut my hair again. it's actually short now. I like it. Cece usually cuts my hair. She's great because she never cuts it too short or anything. I love what she does to my hair.
i'm 21 now. I didn't do much for my birthday. I went out with my family (annual birthday thing) and did the cake thing. Chris joined us, that was nice. We went to this Japanese place...hehehe...yeah...that's right....i am proud of my thief.
yesterday, I bought sake. haven't tried it though, it's still in the fridge.
hmmm...my hand hurts....

Crash and Burn......
my computer has died once again. poo... i am at school using the computer. I just got outta work and i parked on the meter for 2 hours and it only took me an hour to do my work stuff. so i decided to use the computer at school since my computer died.
yesterday, I moved into my new place. i am really quite sore, i can't even type. it hurts. kinda. I'LL BE BACK....

Shopping Extravaganza......
It's wednesday. i just woke up. so really i haven't done anything, but pee. I am sorta hungry. hmmm....what should I eat?
yesterday, Chris and I went to Chick's Sporting Goods again. We also went there the day before yesterday. The first time around, I bought a pair of power blue etnies. The same pair I had before and still do, but it's alll beat up. Chris bought 2 pairs of etines and shorts because he needed to get new shorts. Why did we buy another pair? to replace our already beat-up ones. As you can see I (we) really like that type of shoe. So we decided to go again. I got another pair of etnies just in case they stop making the czar. I doubt that will happen though because it is a really popular shoe. Maybe I should get a yellow one instead?
Chris got more shoes and shorts. This time the shoes were for basketball, one for him and one for his brother. They're straight and nice, like the ones larry hughes wears (or at least the ones he used to wear). I also decided to get my sister a pair of etnies; it's the same style as mine, the czar, but in a different color. we call it the bumble bee, because that's what the colors resemble. It's a cute shoe, SEE.
We also went to Costco yesterday and I got amelie. It's still sealed. One down and a couple more to go. I also wanted to get rushmore, but i haven't seen it yet, so i'll wait. Chris got 6 DVDs yesterday. He finally got the Criterion Edition of In the Mood for Love . Hacker, Original Sin, Amadeus, Ronin and American History X were the other DVDs he got. I found Orignial Sin for him and it was only $8.99. What a steal of a deal. I was quite proud of myself. Chris has the fastest growing well thought-out DVD collection ever. He started with one, two, or three and now .....we'll you have to see it for yourself. There a lot, but i don't mean hundreds. It's not the just quantity, but the quality of it.

Head Over Heels.....
Have you ever felt your knees wobble? okay, have any of you ever seen head over heels with monica potter and freddie prince jr.? well, the character, amanda, played by monica potter, knees wobble every time she has this particular feelings. In this case, it's romance. a surge of butterflies in your stomach, I guess, but a good feeling of course. Anyways, I mention this because I was just curious to know if that happens to real people.
Of course, it's mostly different for everyone...the sign of romance or whatnot. anyways, chris bought this japanese anime, bubblegum crisis 2040. It's an interesting anime about boomers (robots) that go berserk and knight sabers that come to the rescue. but there's a lot more to what i am telling you.
yesterday, I went to blockbuster to look for down to you, but i couldn't find it. I did run across this other movie though. happenstance, a foreign flick. It had the same actress of a movie i recently saw, amelie. It's about faith and things happening by chance.....if the bleh...didn't bleh...then....bleh...would have never met. etc. so i am thinking about getting it.
well that's it for now.

second time around....
it's wednesday, the week is almost over. now that i am not taking summer school, i feel like time is passing by way to quickly. I slept quite late yesterday. I was watching whatever it takes with Chris. we started with down to you, but it wouldn't play right. still gotta rent or buy it. I like it, it had a charm to it that makes me want to watch it. then again, it's also cause I like that kinda stuff.
I woke up quite late today. Had some grub and studied then went to kaplan. BUT, my teacher never showed up. Ughhh....what a drag. so instead they played this video for us. at kaplan they have lesson video, so we were learning, just not the same though. I stayed to watch it cause i figure i needed to brush up on my o-chem.
For dinner I had IN-N-OUT. seems like today just wasn't my luck. I ordered the double-double meal for chris; cheeseburger and fries for myself. And they forgot to give me the other set of fries. So i had to go back and get it, what a pain that was. anyways, the meal was good, I been craving IN-N-OUT this week. I saw Galaxy Quest with Chris. I've watched it a couple of times and it just wasn't the same this time around. The voice of that alien guy, commander dude. it just wasn't the same.
anyways....wendy told me about her skydiving experience. i can't really describe it, but i guess it's just one of those things that you need to experience for yourself. well that's it for now....oh yeah.
i'm thinking about cutting my hair again, like chin length. with layers perphaps, maybe i'll get that done tomorrow. the insentive behind it? to look less young. everyone is always telling me how i look so young especially Chirs. i mean i don't really do i? anyways, i am going to be 21 soon, and i've had long hair all my life. it's time for a change. so here's my attempt to be more bold and spontaneous.
well that's it for now, my contacts are starting to bugging me.

feeling good......
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......can you believe it? I finally updated my website. after all this time. I finally posted my pictures from CANADA. thanks to my brother, Blaise, of course. such a relief. It's feels good getting that done.
i've been cubing a lot of people today. it's this thing from serendipity. i talked about it the last time i think. anyways...on to other things.
i found a place to live, woo hoo....another thing less to worry about. My new residence will be at Rancho San Joaquin. I have a lovely view of the golf course and it's on the 2nd floor. tell you more about it later.
Tuesday.... i didn't really do much today. I woke up pretty early. I cleaned out my inbox, finally updated my resume, went grocery shopping and studied. And the stuff above.
Monday......so yesterday, i saw signs. It was a good movie. in a weird sorta way. I don't want to give anything away, so that's all i will say. The message/plot of the movie.......everything happens for a reason. Chris and I also went to IKEA. they have the new catalog coming out, it's not out yet though. I am thinking of getting a shelf.
My sister just showed me her senior portraits, better go tailor to her.

serendipity......
I just saw serendipity again. I LOVE that movie. What does serendipity actually mean? According to the movie, it means fortunate accident. I watched it because I wanted to see how to CUBE someone so I could tell ruby about it, which reminds me, I have to call her. Hopely I do it correctly. It's in the bonus stuff, in case you were wondering.
I just wanted to share that little bit with you. Now I am going to update my site. I am so psyche cause I don't have summer school anymore, and I have all this time to do everything.

Exhausted......
excellent...it works like a charm. but now i am rethinking using this template. I am so utterly exhausted. today i called and went around looking for a new place to move into. to my surprise, it was harder than expected. I went to Brittany, but sadly, they don't have any vacant, at least the plan that i am looking for. So since that was my back-up plan and that failed, it really got me worried. so I started calling all these apartments/houses in a panic. luckily, there are still some out there, but not to the exact preferences that i had hope for. looking for a house is really difficult because the owners (damn bastards) don't like renting out to students. It's not like i'm a wild child. I am quite responsible. anyways, i am suppose to go check out Solona, I got a quote there and it's reasonable. hopefully, I can get some sort of deal. ugh.......There's one also at San Paulo, but's it's some sort of bond home (whatever that is). In addition to that, the lady wasn't all too friendly. Right now, I am really leaning towards Solona because the guy I talked to was really nice.
I took a midterm/diagnosis today for my DATs. I really need to study my natural sciences. I improved on perceptual, I still need to work on that too though. Reading wasn't so bad, but i don't know how i'll do on the compter since my strategy works on paper. Qualitative reasoning....man, i was so burnt out that i wasn't giving it my all. So I need to continue doing practice problems on those.
Friday....Chris and I went to arcadia. Why? Sophia had her senior portraits, so I brought her one of my blouses to wear and attempted to beautify her. Also, chris and I watched some DVDs that we didn't finish watching cause my computer gave up playing those chapters. We ate at this Korean Tofu house. The scent was very strong, it attacked my clothes. but i expecially enjoyed the rice because they serve them in those hot stony things. I love the bottom crunchy part.
Thursday.....We went to the mall. Chris needed some more work clothes. He brought a shirt and 3 ties. I wanted him to get this pretty 20s tie. but he didn't. I still think he should have gotten it. anyways, maybe later on.
okay, i need to rest..maybe i'll make some mac and cheese, watch the tube, and study.

so messy......
If you haven't noticed, I been changing template. I've tried at least 4 or 5 today. I can't seem to decide which to use. In any case I will probably end up changing template every so often. My room is so messy. SERIOUSLY, I can't stand having a messy room. It stresses me out and make me fell icky. I so need to clean up. I can't wait to move. It's gonna be great cause I'll have my own room and I can lights candles all around and get a kick ass shelf from IKEA. The new catalog is coming out, infact tomorrow. I can't wait to see the new stuff they come out with. I want a new bed and a new desk as well. I want a smaller desk like my sister's. Maybe i'll steal hers and give mine to her. HEHEHE. anyways, that is just a thought.
I look left, I look right, and gosh--it's a mess! uggh.....okay that does it right after this I am going to CLEAN. So earlier today I was making a sandwich for Chris and myself. That kitchen is so dirty, I absolutely can't stand it. The foil on the stove really needed to be changed. I was cooking eggs and all of a sudden the stove started FLAMING. My first reaction was, "DAMN this kitchen is so dirty, ughh." So the flame quickly died away. Minutes later, the flame grew, and what went through my mind was, "hmmm....should I scream for help?" I decided not to because I figured that I can conquer the fire. Which I did. I blew it out.
For all you fruit lovers out there, cheap grapes at Albertson's, 67 cents per lb. What a steal of a deal. I bought two bags. already finshed one, and going onto the next one.
So today in my kaplan class, we were doing perceptual ability. Man when I was taking pre-subject test, I was so sucking at it. but after class, where I learned some tricks, it doesn't seem as turf. nonetheless I need to practice like MAD. that's what i will be doing for the rest of the summer as well as looking for another job.
Everytime I take one of the subject test for my DATs, I ask myself, is this what I really want? well, i better stop yapping and start studying.

My room is so messy. SERIOUSLY, I can't stand having a messy room. It stresses me out and make me fell icky. I so need to clean up. I can't wait to move. It's gonna be great cause I'll have my own room and I can lights candles all around and get a kick ass shelf from IKEA. The new catalog is coming out, infact tomorrow. I can't wait to see the new stuff they come out with. I want a new bed and a new desk as well. I want a smaller desk like my sister's. Maybe i'll steal hers and give mine to her. HEHEHE. anyways, that is just a thought.
I look left, I look right, and gosh--it's a mess! uggh.....okay that does it right after this I am going to CLEAN. So earlier today I was making a sandwich for Chris and myself. That kitchen is so dirty, I absolutely can't stand it. The foil on the stove really needed to be changed. I was cooking eggs and all of a sudden the stove started FLAMING. My first reaction was, "DAMN this kitchen is so dirty, ughh." So the flame quickly died away. Minutes later, the flame grew, and what went through my mind was, "hmmm....should I scream for help?" I decided not to because I figured that I can conquer the fire. Which I did. I blew it out.
For all you fruit lovers out there, cheap grapes at Albertson's, 67 cents per lb. What a steal of a deal. I bought two bags. already finshed one, and going onto the next one.
So today in my kaplan class, we were doing perceptual ability. Man when I was taking pre-subject test, I was so sucking at it. but after class, where I learned some tricks, it doesn't seem as turf. nonetheless I need to practice like MAD. that's what i will be doing for the rest of the summer as well as looking for another job.
Everytime I take one of the subject test for my DATs, I ask myself, is this what I really want? well, i better stop yapping and start studying.
ahhhhhhhhh.....
ahhhh... no more summer school, yeahhhh!!!! I took my final, it was ok, i am pretty sure i passed the class. hopefully, i get an A, not an A- or a B+. Anyways, so I took my test, then i went to work. I didn't go in for a week, so I expected some what of a mess, but it was more than I expected. So I was there for a while, and in fact i have work again tomorrow. that's ok, I'll go to school with Chris and work while he is taking his finals. anyways, now time to concentrate on my DATs.

taking a break......
after today i can finally relax. I still need to study massive chapters though and my notes. that will probably take me 2 hours. but I think i'll start early so i won't have to rush it, studying that is. anyways, I have to work today. I don't really want to because i just kinda want to relax. Then I have kaplan. that's going to burn me out. we are learning perceptual. where we visualize things. anyways, i am making dinner later today, salmon, with mashed potatos. I think i may add some vegetable as well. i'm thinking asparagus. but asparagus makes pee smell funny. okay, i better study.

Scrambling......
Okay, I am a bit jumbled right now. Stressing with another midterm coming up. I know I shouldn't worry too much about it, but still. So tonight I also start learning in my Kaplan class. I am worried that I won't like the class and get nothing from it. Worried if dentistry is really the thing for me, and if all this money is just going to waste. I just want to run around pulling my hair in a panic screaming, like in the cartoons.
My table is a mess, and even that stresses me. I need to have things neat and orderly in order to stay clam, but then again doesn't anyone? So that's what i will do after this.
I emailed the people from blogger asking them with my archives which are acting all funny. Like when you click on the (07/07/2002 - 07/13/2002) link it goes to page not found. anyways that's one thing that is bugging me.
Perhaps, I just need to relax, I am going into panic mode. Breathe Sheila, breathe. Okay, that was refreshing. Anyways, here's the thing, I think I am worrying too much about my future. What could be the cause of this?Hmmmm..... my psych class perhaps. The professor keeps emphasizing how we should really evaluate what our goals are, and now I am constantly contemplating just that. So the stress is on. For example, as much as I like my psych class, it also stresses me because it forces me to constantly think (that can't be good for anyone). You need to let your brain rest right. Neurologist might argue otherwise. So as I was saying, in class today, I was thinking, hmmm.....maybe I want to become a professor, or a therpaist. When I was younger, I wanted to become a psychiatrist. But then I changed my mind after talking to one (they had this carrer-program in my junior high where you go visit the profession of you interest). I was afraid that it would make me crazy. So I abandonned that idea. So it came up again to, but I concluded with the same conclusion as years before.
I could go on forever talking about psychology, but then I don't want to drop all this on you at once. Here are some issue that come to mind though....( thinking too fast...slow it down)...as children, when do we remember what it was like, meaning the memory of being a child, our childhood? They say the futher back you can remember that more intelligent you are. Something to talk about later.
Taking this class has made me realize that I really like psychology and has given me a new mission statement to write about this blog.
Lastly, I would like to tell you what really motivated me to write into this. I am going to free associate. So I wanted to see why people do so called online journals. Writing in this also relieves stress. Because everyone needs someone to talk to, it's in our nature. Talking to others allows us to expessive bottled up feelings. This blog is symbolic of that. I needed to relieve some stress, get something out of my chest, that was all bottled up. I needed to somehow re-evaluate what was going inside my head. And writing in this blog, does that for me. So you can say that is theraputic, a form of therapy. Anyways, writing in this also lets me express stuff that I wouldn't normally think or say.

Curious......
Television. i don't watch it too often, especially during the school year. but it's summer time and i have more time (at least for now). So when i get a chance to, I watch a little here and there. Here are a couple of shows worth watching.
OFF CENTER
what's it about? it's about these three guys that are buddies. And well its about living in NY. at least i think it's in new york. So the cast..... cute british guy. he's got the whole accent, and well....accents, ya gotta love that, that is british, australian accents. funny asian guy....and that guy in american pie who boned stiffley's mom. you should watch it, it's on the WB, channel 5, thursday at 9pm, i think.
Smallville
i don't think i have to say much about this show. I'm like the only one, who hasn't seen it until recently. that's the good thing about the summer time, they show re-runs. So anyways, it's basically a teenager version of superman.
Sex in the City
Sara Jessica Paker and her group of ladies. Basically the show is about women and their sex lives and how they (women) are being like men (or sometime like that). Meaning, being a man and having sex, meaningless for some and others with meaning. 4 women. Carrie is a columnist, Charlotte is more innocent and traditional, Maranda is a lawyer, and Samatha is the slut, per say. I was curious to see why they win so many things and now I can see why. It's actually a good show. So the lesson here is, I was curious to see what all the talk was about (just like with the blog) and I looked into it and now I know.
On lighter things, my friend, Sondhaya, came to visit on thursday. She had to take care of some pressing matters at school. We did dinner, shoppng and more. Dinner at the cheesecake factory. Their mashed potato is absolutely delicious. When I go there, I try to get something with mashed potatoes. I had the grilled chicken medalion, it was pretty good. I like how they garnished it with bell peppers. Their cheesecake is also good. It's a bit creamy though. I can never finish a whole slice myself. Sometime I enjoy frozen cheesecake, I like how it melts in your mouth. like the ones they sell at Costco. I am always tempted to buy the onces they sell at traders joe, but i never do because i can't finish that whole cheesecake, it'll just go bad and that would just be a waste.
The next day, we ordered take-out from Claim Jumpers. I had the soup and 1/2 sandwich. Little jumpers chicken tenderlions, and chocolate walnut brownie. oink oink. It was really a lot of food. I ordered French Onion soup because I was curious to know why so many people like it. It wasn't too good. Perhaps it was just a bad first experience, but to be safe, i'll steer clear from french onion for a while. Sondhaya had a cheesebuger and her advise was "don't ever order a burger from claim jumpers." She also had a carrot cake, that was pretty good. As for the walnut brownie I ordered, it was so big. That's why i bought it. anyways, i took 3 bites. projected finishing time......one week.....it's sweet.
Today, I took a diagnostic test for my DATs. It was horrible, i forgot so much of the stuff I learned 1-2 years ago. That's what I just needed to push me to study. The perceptual also blew me away. And the reading comprehension, I am so rusty. I think I'll ask Chris to teach me a few tricks. As for the quantitative reasoning, also rusty. I haven't gotten my books yet, what a disppointment. I have a midterm coming up and a paper, I better get cacking on those.
Let me set a few goals for myself: (in no particular order)
1. read a book
2. study for DATs
3. sign up for DATs
4. look for a place to live
5. update website
6. study for midterm 2
7. work on paper
I think that's about it for now. So hopefully, i get to some of it. well that's it for now.

Turkey.....
Ever since Canada (family vacation - summer 2002), I have grown a likeness for turkey. I can't even remember when I first grew a dislike for it. I would never dare order a club sandwich with turkey. But i guess being in a different environment does something to my system. anyways, i bring this up because when i was in canada, i think we were in Banff, I ordered a Club Sandwich (with Turkey) from CJ's. It was very good and from then on i invited turkey into my limited meats. Now, if the sandwich was not to my liking, I would have stayed away from turkey forever. today, I made myself a delicious turkey sandwich. with provolone cheese, green peppers, lettuce, tomato, onions, and more. It was big.

Boring Sunday......
What a boring day. nothing of much interest to say today. I attempted to do several things. I tried to update my homepage, but then i got bored of resizing all the pictures. So i dropped that. then i tried planning out my DAT study schedule, but then i got distracted and pick up my psych book and started reading. Interesting metaphor - - - "Lovers are like travelers on a journey trying to reach a common destination, and their relationship is the vehicle for this journey." What do you guys think? I don't really want to go into too much detail about it, but i just wanted to throw that out there.
Back in Irvine now, made some noodles with calamansi, nothing of extreme interest. so lately, i've been thinking of what i want to do with my life. I don't really want to do to more schooling after I graduate, but I realize i must if i ever want to make the big bucks. So i have decided that i will take the DATs, so now i am begining my journey to prepare for it.
I wouldn't mind being a chef, that sounds fun, making spectacular gourmets and elaborate desserts. just had to throw that out there as well.

The Real World......
Waking up........7:35 am. (i know that's not early for some people, so no i'm not complaining.) so i had to take my car into the shop to get it fixed. when i got there, they were still close. just as they were about to open, i noticed the guy point towards another direction. i was like, what the...... "great balls of fire, i didn't know there was a line. " I was fired up cause i wanted to get my car back that day because i needed it and couldn't wait till monday (summer school). Good thing i made an appointment. haha, suckers. Estimated seven hundred dollars in repairs. my goodness...... So by the time i got back, i had planned to go back to sleep. but sadly, was not able to. I ended up watching The Real World for the next 8 hrs minus an hour for lunch. Apparently it was some marathon cause the final episode is coming up this coming tuesday at 10pm. So as I was watching The Real World, it hit me. Is this really how people act? fake and overly dramatic? Part of me thinks it's fake and it should be refered to as the Fake World. But then what do i know, I can't really relate to any of them.
Here's the cast. 4 females, 3 white girls and 1 black girl. 3 males, 2 white boys and 1 black male. (respectively)
Tonya: white chick number 1. she's had a hard childhood bumping around from one foster family to another. and was in debt for medical bills until recently. She's uptight. nothing really much to say about her, but that everyone in the show seem to dislike her.
Cara: white chick number 2. she's this short, used to be chubby, takes anti-depressant pills, sleeps-around (slut?), and has a envious, me, me, always craving attention personality on the side. When i was watching it, i didn't really have an opinion about Cara, until now. At the begining, i thought she was an okay gal, then i figured she was just a pleaser. she sided with anyone and is really envious of keri. i bet you she was secretly in love with kyle and was so jealous of keri because of the relationshiop they keri and kyle shared earlier in the season. she is insecure about herself and likes to be the center of attention and wants what she doesn't have. she seems fake to me.
Keri: She is secure about herself, has self-control, but at the same time cannot express herself totally to her peers. I like the realtionship Kyle and her shared, but at the same time, it's like, hmmmm........the issue of whether she and kyle should have been less touchy touchy in their relationship when Kyle had a girlfiend. So there's the issue of morality. But i won't dwell into that now. that issue will be for another day.
Aneesa: She's a lesbian that is trying to find herself. Also a nudist.
Chris: He's gay. I didn't really see much development about him.
Kyle: He's got some real issues. He has a girlfriend, Nicole, who he claims he loves, but is really attracted to Keri. And even admits to Keri that he likes her. So nicole dumps Kyle's ass after a while. And he gets it on with Keri, but stops, because he feels it is not right. (bastard) then gets all cozy with Cara.
Theo: Speaks his mind.
So after watching 7 hours of The Real World Chicago, I concluded that it is real and fake. It's real because in real life people are fake. not all though. mostly in the media. and The Real World truly exemplified this fakeness. The whole time i was watching it, I saw how fake Cara and Kyle can be. okay that's all i have to say about it. One last comment, The Real World New Orleans was the best among the rest.
Moving on......i know i shouldn't waste my time watching tv, but i just needed to veg out. okay, well, that's it for now, I better go and do my laundry. miss you dear.

Cowboy Bebop......
Well, today i really didn't do much. I went to my psych class and saw a pretty interesting movie. we learned about language and whether or not language can only be learned during the critical period. For humans, they say our critical period is between 4 yrs of age until 14 years of age. Apparently this true, so let me give you future parents some advice. (on a side not, i am at home in arcadia, sitting in Sophia's (my younger sister) leprecon desk. I feel like a giant sitting here, this table is too low, and this chair is too high.) Anyways, as I was saying, the best time to enrich a child is at the age of 4. Why? Because at this point, children have the fullest capacity to learn. They are young minds waiting to be molded into something great. That myth during the 50s about children learning two languages at once being harmful to them.... well, that's just bullshit. During this critical period is the window of opportunity for children to learn/expand on their language capabilities. To make my point clear, if you want your child to be a great musician, expose him/her to a musical instrument at four. If you want them to know more than one language, expose them to it at 4.
As I was saying earlier, I am home now. When I got here, my younger brother, Benedict, was watching Cowboy Bebop. He was on the last two episodes. I noticed something odd about it though. He was watching it in English. And well, what can i say, it's just not the same. It's not as good when you watch it in english. it just felt strange to me, and so un-Spike like. Cowboy Bebop is one of the best anime ever. I mean when i first started watching it, I was like, huh, it's the same plot over and over again. but then whaw.... it hit me. It's really well written and has extensive character development. Especially when Ed enter the picture. I really enjoy the songs too, they are really original. It definitely didn't cop out on anything.
Crash....smash...pop....buzzzzzz..........ugh. older brother, Blaise, is disrupting me as I write in this......constant question of "are you done yet?"......anyways....let me get back on track here. so as you can see being at home disturbs my creativity with so distractions. anyways, it has its pros and cons. See, i am never really bored with so many siblings around. except for when i am home alone.
It's been while, I went to the mall with Sophia today. She needed to get a gift for her friend, David, who is hosting a dinner. So we ended up picking something from Abercrombie. a red shirt, pretty plain on the front with a small A&F logo. What caught my attention was the writting on the back. It stated, "Bounty Hunter." Which in turn reminded me of Cowboy Bebop and then whether or not i should get it for chris. i decided not to because he might not like the logo on the front. i didn't buy anything for myself though , (pretty good for me, i'm a shop-a-holic)......i guess that's good.
ugh....i have to wake up so early tomorrow to take my car in to fix its little funks. well, that's it for now, see you in space cowboy.
Well, today i really didn't do much. I went to my psych class and saw a pretty interesting movie. we learned about language and whether or not language can only be learned during the critical period. For humans, they say our critical period is between 4 yrs of age until 14 years of age. Apparently this true, so let me give you future parents some advice. (on a side not, i am at home in arcadia, sitting in Sophia's (my younger sister) leprecon desk. I feel like a giant sitting here, this table is too low, and this chair is too high.) Anyways, as I was saying, the best time to enrich a child is at the age of 4. Why? Because at this point, children have the fullest capacity to learn. They are young minds waiting to be molded into something great. That myth during the 50s about children learning two languages at once being harmful to them.... well, that's just bullshit.

Lilo and Stitch......
So, today is the fourth of July. I'm not really much of a celebrater, so enough about that. Who knows I might have something interesting to say about it tomorrow. Anyways......yesterday I went to Downtown Disney (the place where I usually go to watch movies because its amc and because they have seats that recline and the arm rest are movable.) I saw that new disney movie, Lilo & Stitch. i'd have to say that's on the top of my list of Disney movies along with Beauty and the Beast. It was really cute and had tear jerking moments. Stitch was so adorable and Lilo too. It had humor and everything. Kids could relate to it and adults as well. but what i am trying to say is that it's a good movie for anyone. so you have to go see it if you haven't. I can't wait till the DVD comes out because I am going to buy it. hehehe.... on my list of dvds to get are ........ serendipity (enough though chris might take it from me), kate and leopold, i guess that's it for now.
So yesterday, Chris and I went shopping for dress shirts and ties (for his work). I picked out this awesome tie. why is it awesome? because it matched with all the dress shirts we picked out. plesant to the eye and it was the best one they had (in my opinion, of course). I can't wait till he wears it, then i can take a picture of him and post it on my blog, when i figure out how to do that stuff.
Recently, I have been watching a lot of asian flicks. I mean all of them a really good too. To name some:
Needing You with Andy Lau
Running out of time also with Any Lau
Green Snake with Maggie Cheung
Downtown Torpedoes wiith Takeshi Kaneshiro
Sleepless Town with Takeshi Kaneshiro
The Storm Raiders with Aaron Kwok and Ekin Cheng
Chinese Odyssey 2002 with Tony Leung and Faye Wong
anna magdalena with Takeshi Kaneshiro, Aaron Kwok, and Kelly Chen
The great thing about watching these singers, actors, and models is that they are so much more exciting. they do crazy stuns and have lots of good action scenes. at least compared to the american onces (some that is). When they sing and act, it seems more realistic and real. maybe its just me. my favorite(s) are Takeshi and Aaron. I can't wait to watch Tokyo Raiders with Kelly Chen, Ekin Cheng, and Tony Leung. I'd tell you what it is about but reading the back of the covers don't really tell you much about the movie. Anyways, if you have time, give them a look.
So what's the plan for today? I am going to clean. I really need to organize my things and throw out what i ablsolutely don't need. I'm like a pack-rat, or as Chris would say, "you are a pack-rat." okay i guess i better get started on that.
but before I do, I just wanted to tell you about that comic I was reading, I finished it and well, I don't know whether I should go for the trade paperback. I guess I won't since I am having doubts. oh yeah, another little issue, still can't decide whether Dentistry is what i want to do. gotta hurry up and decided. prep class or not? time is ticking.

The Beginning......
hi there,
well today is the day i begin on my journey to write in this as often as i can. what's up with me you ask? usually i'd just say, "nothing much, what about you?" but then i realize that i am just talking to myself. so what's up with me? well, i just took my first psych midterm. i don't want to jinks (hmmm....i probably spelled that wrong, i have a knack for that) myself, but i'd have to say i thought i ROCKED that test. I just hoped i filled in those bubbbles correctly.
so anyways, i am suppose to be looking for a new job, but i am so lazy. I really need to brush-up my resume. I should also update my homepage. I mean i have so much stuff to put on there. my pictures from my trip in canada with my family. but oh, there are so many pictures to post that i don't want to do all that work. REALLY, i am not that lazy. I guess you can say, i love to say how LAZY i am, but in reality, i am not all that lazy.
So I bought my first comic today. Chris, my boyfriend, loves COMICS, so every wednesday or thursday we go to the Comic Bookstore and check out what's new. Usually, i see nothing of interest to buy, but today, something caught my eye. The cover was so colorful. It amused me, and caught my interest. So i picked up and browsed through it (really though, i read it up until half way, then decided to purchase it after flipping to the cover a couple of times). It's called Strangers in Paradise by Terry Moore. I still have the rest of it to finish. If I like it all that much, i might get the trade paperbacks.
Geez, who knew I actually had something to say. well, that's me for you, i am unpredictable (or at least i'd like to think so). Most people would say i'm not, but wait until rag time comes around, i'll show you.
So, i better cut it short, don't want to give too much away. by the way, i'm giving this thing a shot, i heard stuff about this and wanted to see what it was all about.
