I forgot to mention that I got to see my high school friends last Monday. And Thursday and Friday. So I know I have blogged about them in the past but I love being around them. Just sitting there, talking about random things. I laughed so hard when I'm with them. =) They make me so happy! But it sucks that some of us will be in different parts of the country and we wont get to hang out all of us anymore. I do hope that we can, but it might be a while.

Wow..I started to blog..but then i got distracted. So since last time, I spent pretty much whenever I could with my high school friend Nancy and JoJo. Basically the nights alternated between James and high school friends. Nancy left on Tuesday =( I am super sad that she is so far away now. But I know we will be best friends still and I love her to death. Did I mention I went to a Korean Booking Club? LOL..so it's a club where you can get pulled by the waiters to go sit with guys who are strangers. apparently it's popular in Korea.

Also, we have been moving. OMG we had so much crap. Oh wellz, our new place is where i used to live--so it's cozy. Since last time I have been trying to eat less. yeah...way too fat. HAHA...so I am eating less now.

Wed july 1st went to the beach with alex and max and james. it was very nice.

Off to disneyworld tomorrow! Will blog about stuff when I return.

So since the last post:

Sunday was Daniel's Bday. We met at DnB and played games. Then we went to eat pho. It was delicious!

Monday: I slept over at Alex's and we had a fun sleepover

Tuesday: Off to Berkeley

Wednesday: errands and other fun things

Thursday-Sunday: ROCK Camp. I was part of the Cheetah Sisters from Navajo. We had so much fun. Thursday, we got there and settled down. The kids went to the lake, we had a campfire. Friday, we did the ropes course, fencing, archery, sports and games. I tried rock climbing for the first time AND I climbed a huge net to go on the zipline. IT WAS SO SCARY! but I'm glad I got to try it. Friday's weather was nicer so at the lake there were many activities. I got to go kayaking. I wanted to go in a little bit and sit on a tube. But I fell in -_- so since I was already wet, I just went swimming for a little bit. At the lake there was a really big trampoline and we could jump on it. Then they had this catapult thing where someone is at the end and another person jumps on the catapult and it launches the first person. I tried to launch someone, I slipped and fell in. Then I tried to get launched, I totally fell and water went up my nose. HAHA..oh wellz. At night they had a beach party. It was a lot of fun. We went on a motorboat, took a canoe to punch island, the skittles slot machine, bean bag toss, and other stuff. Saturday was more relaxed. We had arts and crafts, science, and outdoor living skills. I learned how to start a fire =) we also had a skits night. Funny stuff like James dressed as a woman with a very high voice. Sunday: leaving camp! It was great!! Camp was so much fun, except for the freakishly cold nights. I hope I can go again next year!
PS: I got a huge bruise on my thigh and a very nasty bug bite.

Monday: back to socal

Tuesday: Mall, then my cousin's 21st birthday party at the Yardhouse. We bought her a Sex on the Beach =)

Wednesday: Swimming!..or more like playing in the water =P

A BONUS:

Skittles Song
you get a skittle
you get a skittle
just one skittle
thats all you get!

and its a human slot machine with one person as the lever, and three people with different fruits and veggies as each slot. BEST GAME/IDEA ever!

so these past few days, I have been baby sitting =)

on monday, there was no baby sitting. Just the gorgeous beach and the hat. I dont know if you know about the hat..but basically its a mountain of chili cheese fries and a mountain of pastrami on the sandwich. Also, the hae a drink called BANG!...lol..it must be good right?

anyways..

My mom makes friends with people that go to the same temple. She is a very nice woman. So she brings this family into our house and we babysit their kids. The little boy is 2 years and 3 months old and the girl is like 4 months. The little girl just cries when she comes. My mom covers her up and lets her fall asleep. The little boy does not sleep. he just runs around and entertains himself. That was Tuesday.


On Wednesday James and I took him to the park. He had a lot of fun. Of course, we were very tired afterward. I made james play with the boy all day..muahaha...when we left, the little boy was like crying and holding on to James. Then I went to James' house where we had duck and other delicious food. Then James took a nap while I sat awkwardly by myself in his house.



Thursday I woke up to crying. The kids were at my house again =) This time, the boy took a nap so we didnt get to take him to the park. We also watched the Lakers game. Then we went to Boiling Crab where after waiting over an hour, we were finally seated. They ate so much shrimp and crawfish!! but james had fried shrimp and I had catfish. mmmm!

Today, the kids did not come over. But we had dinner with the family. the little boy had a piece of candy after dinner and he was running around like crazy afterward. I guess what they say about sugar high is real. I will never doubt it again.

I am so bored at home. I have watched many movies since I have been home. Some rented but most just on tv. I found out we have shotime and hbo..so movies galore!! and my sister has a blockbuster subscription. I bet my movie list will grow very rapidly.

bucket list
maneater
caffeine
my neighbors the yamadas
twilight
the promotion
forrest gump

and the list continues! any movie suggestions?

So since my last post, I pretty much became a whale. The week of no school, no finals, no graduations meant a whole week of eating A LOT. We sometimes had 2 dinners.

Monday: skates on the bay
Monday night: MEAT NIGHT! ribs, salmon, steak, sausages, ice cream

Friday: Noodle Theory, appetizers at Looneys and KFC
Sat: ramen and Steves Korean BBQ, top dog
Sun: Sun Hong Kong (one more time!)
Sun night: mcdonalds

mmmm...fried food



The three amigos at jupiters

Goodbye to alex's apt (he already left)
now I'm home. I need to stop eating.


On happier note: WE ARE GOING TO DISNEYWORLD! July 3-10th FO SHO!

Super excited for the next chapter in our lives. It's been a great 4 years at Berkeley. I still remember when I started my freshman year. I cried all the way up and for the first month or so. I was so homesick. Then as the years went by, Berkeley became more and more like home. I am so thankful for the people who have come into my life. *tears* Thank you all for making a difference in my life. They say that "Your friend is someone who knows all about you, and still likes you." Thanks for still liking me. =)

PS: This is amazing! All of the 05-06 chairs and Gail, the president!

So Thursday was my last day of work at Fisher Center. I was really sad about leaving. I have spent the past 3 and a half years working there. Can you believe it? A shy freshman, now all grown up and leaving. When Mary, one of my supervisors, started giving a speech, I just started bawling. I wouldn't help it. I mean I saw these people every week and even during the summer! I can't believe that I won't be going in to do random office work or stuff envelopes or fax a million sheets of paper. Ahhh I will the super fun parties the most. It seems like every month we would have some sort of birthday celebration, a celebration just because, or a holiday celebration. They throw the best parties. Some that I remember: cupcake party (huge assortment of cupcakes), ice cream sundae, new york style party, bell in jello, going away parties. Ahh, they even throw parties for me =) One time they threw a party and I wasn't there. LOL..they had a party anyways. When I turned 21, one of the people in the office kissed me..haha..he was a very good looking foreigner (a visiting scholar?)

So anyways, at my going away party, they prepared a present for me. I got an alumni hat, a metal water bottle, my very own envelope sealer (i used this a lot), and a huge fisher center golf umbrella (the umbrella is like 3 feet tall).

They are amazing. I also had a really really delicious tres leche cake.

I forgot to mention that every time after their semi-annual board meeting that we spend a long time preparing, they always bring me back something fun from Pebble Beach. I have a tie-dye shirt, a pink shirt, a hat, a candle, a bear, a mug, I know there's more..but I don't remember.

But I love the people I worked with and I hope that where ever I go, I will meet people as awesome as them.

ps. the title reference is..when I was going to pick up my reception tickets, I was carrying the umbrella. Some guy comes up to me and asks "excuse me, do you think it will rain today?" i said "no, i don't think so. The weather is pretty nice. I just got this umbrella as a gift" LOL..it was like 80 degrees or something. how cute =)


also, I got a cool business card holder, a sticker, a pen, and jellybeans from the haas alumni people. I guess that's the only good thing about being a business major.
