Hello! LOL..I am so tired. I am in class and not paying attenting because I cannot see the board. My contacts hurt my eyes because I stayed up until 5 am or something with James so he wouldn't be doing awards alone. I felt really bad for him. He needs an "Alex Chu". I am no Alex Chu...I can barely write. Awards editing is no fun.

Anyways, this weekend was pretty fun. We went up to Tahoe and got to see SNOW!!! So Friday night we left at like 6? 6:30? even though we were supposed to leave at 5pm. Well we got on our way and it was super trafficky. ON the way there were some crazzzy things. So we were in Joe's car and the car was hurting when going uphill. Then throuhout the whole drive, we were like why is the window so blurry?? the defroster is on..but we still can't see. It turns out Joe's defroster doesnt work. Great...we were driving throuh a darkass forest with fogged up windows and a slow drive uphill. Does this sound like a setup for a horror film? HAHa..so in the car was Fanny, James, and Joe Vu. We joked about man-eating deers and man eating deer. YEah..but we made it!



We settled in and a game of Apples to Apples began shortly. I was doing terribly..omg..not one card, not even close to being picked, not really any laughs either. My card was always like first to be discarded. MMUUUAHAHAHHAHA....but I came backkk and won! well..I don't know if I won but I got 8 cards in a game of 15 players.. OH YEAH! Some of my favorite cards are Jessica Simpson, Broken Collerbone, and Daddy Long Legs. ah yes...good times. THen we woke up super early to head to the ski resort. I didn't snowboard or ski because I don't like the feeling of death. So I passed. Many people stopped by where James and I were sitting and we left early.



Poor Tiffany N. got hurt. She was too busy saving children and a water dog to have paid attention to safety. Thank goodness she was able to save the children =) Anyways..we left, I took a really good nap, had awesome dinner, watched Star Wars Episode III and then I went to bed at 12am. I was really tired..not sure why..it's not like I was sore from snowboarding or anything. Well..I guess I missed out on late night trash talking. Oh wells.



Then it was morning. We cleaned up and left. OMG it was so windy and cold. Then it started raining and the death 'mobile had really noisy windshield wipers. Then it started snowing!! OMG I have never seen falling snow..it was quite a treat. Ate at IHOP, came back and napped. Then awards support for James.



Oh yeah, I got in trouble with both my work for being super flaky. I must try harder. That should be my goal until the end of the year...NO MISSING WORK BECAUSE I AM LAZY. Gosh..

BTW, Friday was Darrell's Bday and then we surprised him. Nina made awesome carrot cake cupcakes..heavenly...omg.

and a funny thing happened..oh i just love Monica's comebacks..

Josh: *Takes a bite of cupcake.* Asks Monica "You want some?"
Monica: "No! I don't want anything that comes from your mouth"
Matt: "That's how herpes is spread"

Monica: "You mean Josh?"

HAHAH..oh..she is the best at comebacks/disses/smart or witty sayings.

So I fell asleep at like 11pm and now I am awake again at 2am. OMG..im so screwed for tomorrow.

So I wanted to elaborate on dinner. Alex is going vegan for Lent and Agustin is becoming vegetarian...why?!????? *whimper* They are my eating buddies. So anyways, I did some research and Cha Ya came up as one of the most popular places. I remembered that Daniel and Chris had told me about this place when they were living on Shattuck. So we go and its really cute. Everything is super quaint.

Open Kitchen











My wonderful eating buddies











My meal: Udon with Vegetable Tempura











Dessert! Ice Soy Cream, red bean and green tea sauce, pineapple chunks, and rice crispies on top














It was so good Alex practically licked the bowl. HAHA..

YUM! I would definitely recommend this place for vegetarians/vegans.

So today after going to dinner with Agustin and Alex, I came home and went on youtube!

I realized that I didn't know what teletubbies show looked like. I just remember doing an article about the purple one being gay in one of my journal/article report in 4th grade. Yeah so I started watching some of the clips on youtube...WTF..that stuff is weird. LOL..

Anyways, this video inspired this random search into Teletubbies.



It went from barneys to teletubbies to what the freak?!













So the purple one is gay. The green one is black or mexican. the yellow is a drama queen. the red is a short bilingual asian. YAY for diversity!


thats all for today.

Selection from Alex's award winning speech about how Circle K has developed him into a competent, capable leader.

Thursday=Fenton's with the Casanovas. mmm...ice cream and chili cheese fries. Enough said.

Oh! Francis kicked me on accident (or I think it was an accident LOL) and I got a double bruise. It hurts. A lot.

Omg! So I'm back from a weekend in Sacramento spent with Alex, Cheriz, and other people (Alice & Danny from Dboard, Keiko and Kathleen from Circle K). It was so much fun! Also for the past week I have been eating..TOO MUCH MONEY SPENT ON FOOD.

So on Friday I worked for 5.5 hours and had class. Afterwards I went to Kips to meet with people. We ate then headed to Ace of Cakes (Circle K PR event). The cakes were so awesome!

Here are some of my favorites.














































This is my cupcake that I decorated for the cupcake contest. Do you love it? haha















Here are some winners:













Then on Saturday I went to Sacramento. We made it for the Candidate's Session and then it was off to dinner at Elephant Bar. So I had a really bad experience at Elephant Bar at a long time ago so I just wrote it off as a bad restaurant. But suprisingly the food was really good. I had a french dip and SWEET POTATO FRIES! OMG..if you didn't know I LOOOOOOOOVE sweet potato fries. There are only a few places that I know of that have them (Cha for Tea, Yardhouse, Taiwan and now Elephant Bar) The food was good..and I was really amazed at the amount of food Gail could eat. LOL..she told me she started running so she could eat whatever she wanted =) Go Gail! I'm jealous. So then we went back to the hotel room to hang out. After staying up until 2am or 3am, the boys went to sleep and it was Cheriz, Alice and Me. We had girl talk. Aww..I miss that stuff. Sigh** we had some moments where could not stop laughing and we probably woke other people up. It was good to share and hear other people's thoughts. It's weird..I feel like I don't get deep conversation enough times throughout the semester. Makes me miss my girlfriends from home.

So we stayed up until 6am or something and then went to sleep. We had District Large Scale Service Project at 11am. LOL..I think Alice woke up first but she went back to bed. Then I woke up and got ready and then went back to bed. LOL..we ended up leaving at like 12pm. OOps..then we ate at Mcdonalds. Wow..it's been a while (well..actually I had it in January) but before that it's been a long time. So yummy chicken nuggets and fries and super sweet tea that I had to mix with unsweetened tea.

At the project I went to the weight management booth. haha..the irony..












So we talked and waited and talked and waited and no kids showed up. It was so sad that there were no kids. The fair was really well set up and there were tons of fun things to do.

Like Puppets!















Well, we managed to do some kind of service. I helped cut fabric to make blankets. Then we left and were on our way home. It was really fun hanging out with a few dbaord members without the rest of dboard. It's so hard to compete for attention..haha..so I don't ever really get the chance to talk to the board. But this weekend was super fun. After we got back from dinner and the airport it was time to get down to business.

I had a midterm the next day. CRAP. So I read the textbook and wandered off on other things. I felt that I needed to manage my finances better so I went to www.mint.com. This is a pretty cool site! You can see where all your money goes and label things the way you want to. So more studying..and then sleep then more studying.

The midterm kicked my butt! Wayy too little time. When the professor said 5 minutes left, I still had 7 questions to go. CRAP. LOL..oh wells..to be continued.

So the people are sniffing up their farts so that the methane won't get in the air. LOL

Today I woke up at 9am because I went to bed so early. I got up but had this strange feeling. During the entire morning I felt not right. It was as if a rain cloud was following me and raining on me.













Nothing felt right. I was awake but did not have the urge to go to work or class. I had trouble getting out of bed. I felt better..I mean I wasn't that sick anymore yet..something was off.













Then I went to class and continued to feel this way. It wasn't until I got to dance rehearsal that I felt much better. I saw Jeff and immediately went to talk to him. He was just so happy that the enthusiasm soon caught on. We were laughing about a HUGE slippage, Joe "looking for something" dance, and other random things. We watched the dancers practice the routine and at 6 the singers came in to practice the song. They sounded just lovely. It was a while later when we discovered the random draft of wind from the opened door. This is when Linda and all her flowy locks became an advertisement for a Circle K sweatshirt. It was awesome. I had forgotten all about my sad morning and was laughing and cheerful (I haven't felt "happy" in over a week).














Then we went to dinner and then on to cake truffles. Alex ate the ones we made last time so I still have not tasted them. So I melted chocolate and covered some. Then I left. Alex wanted to cover the rest so he goes to melt the chocolate. Remember when he tried last time? Burnt mitts and pan fried burnt chocolate. Well...today was not his day either. He microwaved some foil when he melted the Hugs. It smelled really bad. Then he goes to boil them like he had seen me do earlier..except..the cup completely breaks. Poor Alex..him and his chocolate funk. Oh well..at least we all got a good laugh. =)























This is where the foil burnt the cup. This is a glass cup, by the way.













Ahh...so today was a better day after all.
Goodbye rain. Good morning sunshine.
