The title is a song by AJ Rafael sent to me from Tiffany Ornedo!

Tuesday:












This past week has been all about love.

It was a beautiful week.

The sun was shining, there are seriously birds outside Alex's window, and I feel like nine times the happiest person ever (not as happy as Alex...though)

We have been matchmaking but we will see if the results are good ;-)

Thursday was scrapboozing and spirits and social..get it?...lol..jk.anyways..we partied and then trained Tiffany N. and went home.

I did homework until 3am. *tear* Then 830am class on Friday. Talked to my GSI for like 1.5 hours and then worked then class. Then we went to safeway to prepare for Friday Night Lights and Fun. We played beer/punch pong and cranium. Then hot seat and got to know eveyone even more! YAy for non-family social =)

Then at 3am, JeeYoon, my high school friend, arrived from UCLA.

On Saturday we walked around on College Ave. We had lunch at La Med. The waiters and hostess were on crack or something. It was a long lunch. They did not respond to us at all! After lunch, we waited in line for ICE CREAM at Ici! YUMMY...we had candied cacoa nibs flavor. Then we walked back down Telegraph and I showed her the difference between the two streets =)

We were still super full so I took JeeYoon on a mini campus tour...to the bottom half of campus.













I'm shaking hands with Rex










Then we went to watch Gracepoint Live-Undo. It was really good!









Then I slept and slept and slept. I woke up to make Jeeyoon some food before she headed out..then I went back to sleep. Woke up at 4:30pm -_-'' OOps...I guess I have just been really tired from this week. Then we went to Hot Pot City for all you can eat goodness.

Now I am at Alex's giving him and James moral support for their work while I goof off. =) oh good times.

This was my ceiling











This my ceiling now.










When it rains, it pours =(


•4/02/2009 05:15:00 PM
Well, actually..just the ceiling of my bathroom. So I left spring break with a crack in the ceiling. When I came back, the crack was gone...along with my ceiling. LOL...imagine my surprise huh? Yeah so now there is no ceiling, some of the wall is gone. All the stuff in my bathroom is out in my room and its super dirty. I tried my best to clean it today...*sigh* the sky is falling.

On to happier news! Monday night was the same old same old..hanging out with Alex watching tv. My flight was delayed and I got back pretty late. Only good thing about the flight was the perfect landing! It is one of the few times (like 3 times) that the landing was a 10! We landed and I was like..what? thats it? haha..good =)

Tuesday: I went to work because I had no preschool! Then I broke into Alex's apt and took a nap while he wasn't there....hahah. I'm sorry that I'm a creeper. Tuesday night was the first general meeting for 2009-2010 board and it was really fun! I hope they keep up the enthusiasm and continue to do great things. Then we went to get boba. YAY for fun people =) Q committee <3 <3 <3 whoo! Then I went home and Mimi came to get her reader. We ended up standing outside my aptartment talking for like 2 hours! I was gonna sleep early *tear* but it was well worth it.

Wednesday: No committee meetings =( so James and I went to Kips and just hung out. We ran into Margaret and I got to talk to her for like almost 1.5 hours. James had to leave for SNAP so Margaret kept me company while I waited for my class. =) YAY I love how that now the term is over it feels like there's more time to just stand around and talk. I went to class (so boring!) then we went to Alex's to just hang out. Macky was there! and Tiffany and Nina! We baked vegan red velvet cupcakes and it was so delicious =) We ended up staying until like 2am. AGHHH...I need to sleep early!

Here is something special for the 2008-2009 Board!













Here is something for my wonderful Dragonsaur family:












Wee!
•3/25/2009 01:39:00 AM
Saturday night: arrived from Oakland after being delayed. James, my mom, my sister, and I went to Guppys. The beef noodle is super spicy. But we had brick toast..mmmmm...yummy.


Sunday: I don't remember. Oh haha..I went to perm my hair. My sister was supposed to make the appointment for 10:30am..but the hair stylist heard wrong and put us down for 4:30pm. But we went at 4pm and finished at 7pm. It was expensive..but well worth it in my opinion.













On the way there my sister and I were confirming my plans for Disneyland on Monday and just as I was telling her that I won't flake or something, I realized that I forgot my gift certificate that she bought me and James a long time ago. I left it in Berkeley!! NOOOOOOO...epic fail. I was sad and I think I made her sad because she was gonna go and eat with me and James because it was her bday and she would get in for free. (anyways more on that later)


















Then got home and had hotpot! Mmmmm...hotpot is our all celebratory food. We eat it for every occasion. the celebration was for my sister, my aunt and my cousin in law's birthday. WOW..so many people. We ate, talked and discussed many things like weddings, old people, jobs, etc.

would you rather have a huge diamond and no wedding or wedding and really small diamond?

HAHa...anyways, lots of talking and found out that my 30 year old cousin Monica and my 26 year old brother has facebook. I added my brother..LOLLLOOL..but I don't think he will add me. He said that he only has it for a few good friends. He only has 13 friends LOL. My brother also said that facebook was for attention whores.. and my cousin Millie and I look at each other and agreed that we were attention whores. Her more than me =)

then TWO cakes. one was coffee creme bule and the other was mint cookies and cream/vanilla ice cream cake. SO delicious.













after cake, there was more talking and a bit of drama. It was a clash between old school people and the college students, me, millie and miranda (my other cousin). But it was mainly me against everyone else. HAHA..that's what happens when you get me riled up about something that I think is wrong. I feel that people have to make their mistakes and that parents should trust that they did a good job in raising their kids that they don't have to worry about their kids making bad decisions. But I guess I can only say that about myself.

It was a fun night none the less.

Monday: James came to play with me. We pick up my cousin Miranda who has a Disney pass and we head to Disneyland to meet my sister. The plan was to get shopping passes and go in to have lunch with her. But unfortunately they don't do that anymore. So Miranda went with my sister to get her pass and bring out lunch from pizza port. My sister was applying her bday ticket to a pass (lucky her!) SO they decided to take the monorail but that took a long time!

Meanwhile, James and I were shopping for a pin (because I forgot my publications editor pin). Then we went to buy drinks for lunch and he convinced me to get some bengeits. Basically they are rectangle donuts covered in powdered sugar. Our mouths were watering while we waited for my sister and cousin to meet us. They finally came and we ate some awesome Disney food. Then we toasted to each other with our bengeits. IT got really messy and powdered sugar went everywhere. Mostly on James because he is a fatty.

We walked around, played at the lego store and left. We came back home, dropped off Miranda, and picked up another cousin, Millie. Then James, Tina (my sister), Millie and I went to Boiling Crab. We ate king crab legs, shrimp, fries, and sweet potato fries (my favorite!). We left really smelly and happy. I was really scared for my hair because I can't wash it for 3 days and I had stinky seafood hair smell. HAHA..so I tried to run and air my hair out. They were all pretty disgusted. We came back and ate the rest of the ice cream cake. YUM.













Tuesday: I ate lunch with my high school friends Nancy, Gary and Daniel Hong. We ate a Taiko a really popular Japanese restaurant in Irvine. They gave so much food that when I was full, it looked like I hadn't touched. Daniel left and we went to coffee bean to meet up another friend, JeeYoon. I love her and Nancy so much. They are such awesome people..fun and funny, and we have the strangest conversations ever! No matter how long we go without talking, we always catch up and it feels like no time has passed since we were last together.

We talked and talked and talked..all while Gary sat there..silently listening. HAHa..yeah..Gary is cool like that.

Then I came home and talked to James and talked to Alex. Kinda weird talking to Alex because we never talk during break...haha..but it was good..much better than wondering what he has been up to. Then I went to dinner with my sister and her friend Kenny at the Melting Pot. OMG. It's like delicious heaven. First there is a cheese fondue, then a broth fondue for meat and seafood. Then the last part is DESSERT! We got the flaming turtle chocolate fondue. It was caramel, chocolate with pecans and then flambed at the table. We got assortment of marshmallow, pound cake, brownies, strawberries, and rice krispies. I wanted to lick the pot of chocolate...but then I would get really bad tongue burn. My sister got a huge strawberry with a candle on it. It was cute but the strawberry was HUGE. It was the size of my fist. Maybe bigger. She ate the whole thing. Kinda gross. HAHA..

It was a fun 3 day birthday celebration for my sister. I hope she wasnt sad this bday like she was on all her other ones.

Happy Birthday Tina! I love you!













Wednesday:
(WAHHHHH..this is the third time I am writing this part)
I woke up and got my nails done with my mom. Then I hung out with my high school girls. Well, I have know most of them for 10 years..since middle school. We went to Fashion Island and then talked and just walked around and talked more. All we did was talk. It so weird how close we have grown these past 4 years. Whenever we get together it feels as if no time has passed. Even if we don't talk or see each other during school, we get together and then just blab and blab and blab..haha. I love these girls so much! I really would do anything for them. I know that no matter where we are or what we are doing, we will always be there for each other.














Thursday: Woke up early (sorta) went to buy some jeans. A few of my jeans are starting to rip (because I have giant thighs that collide =( ) Then James and I were off to Hacienda Heights to meet up with Alex and Cheriz. We got there and got to visit Alex's house. Then we went to Banana Boat, a really yummy thai place. I got some boba then we went off to do some DCON errands.













Then we were off to District Convention. We had dinner and received picture frame from Chris. It was super nice. Then we practiced our opening show and other DCON prep. It was really great to be with everyone again. To be honest, up until January, I felt that I didn't really connect with District Board. I think i just didn't open myself up to them and didn't accept them into my heart. But as I got to know people individually, I realized that we had a special connection. We really fit with each other. Even though the guys are perverts..I know that they are really genuine and caring inside. DCON was awesome. I wish we got to hang out with Berkeley. Looking at the pictures..it was like we weren't there *tear* But more about DCON some other time. Lots of awards, crying, not sleeping..that's all.













My Love!

UGH. I just want to be home already. I want to be with my sister, my mom, my cousins, and my high school friends. My heart is not in this right now..stupid paper and other added stress. F#&*$%!(*&$^@


•3/18/2009 03:10:00 AM
I put random pictures that have no relationship to the post.

Today was preschool day again! I haven't seen my partner child in a week because she was sick. I saw her today and she looked so sad =( I guess she wasn't feeling well still. I took her in to sign her name and I also got to keep a coloring of hers. During snacktime, everyone was eating but she wanted to play. I suggested that we read instead. I really like this book. It's about a teddy bear and what happens when he falls off the bed. It's also a counting book! (WOW two in one)

Then after reading, she decides that she wants to read so I got her some snack (even though I wasn't supposed to..because once they say no..they have to stick with it). She would sometimes smile but she still looked gloomy. Then we went to the shamrock table where she glued words that she knew on a shamrock. She knows 9 words (is, on, in, the, and, my, a, and some other ones I don't remember =) ) Then we went to play with noisemakers and dinosaurs.

Today I got pushed in my butt and then the kid ran away =( I was so sad. He doesn't speak english either so I couldn't discipline him. I don't like kids that are bad!! Anyways, it was nice to see Brianna smile even though she wasn't feeling well. Made me happy to see that she was having fun!

Then I came home, made some beans, showered, and then it was off to general meeting. Thank you to Alex who came to help me carry the jello to the meeting. We totally looked like alcoholics carrying 3 trays of jello shots. Then the meeting started. Nina made awesome cupcakes (so CUTE!) During the meeting, the board was so cute! They made a video for James to thank him for an awesome year and I was super teary and couldn't help myself.

Sidenote: I am super sentimental. If you know me, then you know that I pretty much keep everything. I have movie ticket stubs from middle school LOL (the print is so faded, you cant even see it anymore) But yeah, I was super teary because when I see things, I almost always relate it to something else that makes me emotional. I don't know if that makes sense..like when I see a movie..I will relate it in someway to myself and my life. If it is a happy scene, then happiness or if it is a sad scene, I am sad..etc.











So in this case, I saw the video for James and I was just super happy that people recognized all his hard work. One thing that I love a lot is letting people know when they do good things or accomplish something or simply if they are awesome. James totally and whole heartedly dedicated this past year to making the club what it is today. The video made me flashback to all the hard work that I and other board members put in one year ago and two years ago. It's not easy being a board member and it's crazy the amount of time you put in and the countless sleepless nights. Anyways, I digressed. I just wanted to say that the video was awesome. I am glad they did something for James because he totally deserves it. Made me think back on the two years before this one. All that=cry/tears of happiness.









Then James gave his goodbye. Way to go, 08-09 Board! Then it was the moment that everyone was waiting for...Chair Announcements. Talk about heartbreaking. I was sooo scared for everyone in the room that applied. I mean, so many dedicated members, so many awesome, wonderful people. I am sure everyone would mke a great chair, but there are only so many you can have (11 to be exact) I am happy for all those on Board, you will go on a wonderful journey and love/hate/hate/love Circle K. =)

To all those who didn't make it...it's okay. I mean being a member rocks! You are catered to...raffle prizes..don't have to drop from projects..etc. When it all comes down to it, it is about Community Service. I know I often lose sight of that...but seriously and simply, all it comes down to is what are you doing to help serve those in need. You don't need to be a board member to make an impact in the lives of those who are in need. I wish I could re-do my time this year and really focus on the important things like contributing something to the world. Luckily I have Jumpstart where I can see the progress of Brianna week after week.

Anyways, it was a sad night..then James had to dig through crap for his gavel. I was in everyone's faces about James' dinner party/banquet for his bday. His present came in today! I'm so excited and can't wait to give it to him!!!

I was really sad that I stepped outside to record something and when I came back, the jello shots were distributed and it wasn't the whole "cheers to finishing" that I had wanted it to be. Ugh..I was annoyed..but I guess I expected too much. So I just stuffed my face with jello.

Then on to scrapboozing party (Lol..jk) I managed to do 1 page in the 2-3 hours that we were there. Sigh** but the scrapbook is looking amazing. We left and then went to get some boba and ran into Joe (again!) We ran into him last night too. Then came back and now I am not doing work like I should. I have a research paper to do and I don't want to do it. I make poor decisions. But I really like the fact that I am getting to know people better (or at least I feel that way). I really want to get to know more people..like deeper stuff. I know I posted something about not having that connection with people and feeling like it was too late. But I know it's not too late! I will try to make more friends before I leave Cal.








And that transitions me to...I am sad. Super sad about my upcoming graduation. It's been four years and I am used to this dirty place I now call home. I still remembered that I seriously cried all the way up to norcal (like 6 hours in the car..I cried all the way). Then I cried for another month or two. I feel like that is going to happen again. I am scared that friends will be lost due to distance. I don't know if I can make new friends. Everyone is going back to socal...and I will be in SF..without my family..and some friends. I know that there will be people staying but I fear that without Circle K, without the close proximity of being in Berkeley, our friendships will not survive. I hope I am wrong. Just know that I will cry...at DCON, at Banquet, at Graduation, at everything. But I will just keep smiling...even if I have tears. Just keep smiling!







I feel like I have insomnia. But I am sleepy. I just sleep late.
