09/01/00 2:45PM - Oh my goodness! I only have 1 more week of summer school left! I'm totally not even remotely ready for school to start! I have to work on Labor day. Bummer. It was rather retarded of me to volunteer the hours, but heck... the pay is good! =) Lately I've been hooked on this song that I heard on MTV. It was for "The Free Lance Finals." It was basically a bunch of young aspiring singers getting their shot at a recording contract under Lance Bass' (NSYNC) recod label. There was nothing else on. So this guy comes out and sings his original song and it totally blew the crowd and everyone away. Even Dave Holmes' jaw dropped. I mean, this kid was THAT good! Needless to say, he won the competition. I've been listening to his song on a regular basis ever since I heard it. I wanted to hook it up to my web page, but since I'm totally retarded..I couldn't figure out how to do it, but here is the link to it. I also saw that group 2Ge+her's video. It's friggin hillarious. The sad thing is that the group os a total joke. Yet, they've achieved start-staus in the teenie-bopper world. Anyways, Their song "The Hardest Part of Breaking up" is totally funny. You should hear the lyrics. Speaking of MTV, I've been seeing the commercials for the VMA awards. There's one with Connan O'Brien and he's singing "Big Pimpin'" in a NY subway. It totally cracks me up every time I see it! I think I've been watching WAY too much TV. We have a potluck at work today. I was supposed to make freind rice, but there weren't any eggs in the house. Since I don't work until 6, I suppose i could go out and buy eggs.... But I'm WAY too lazy to do that. My co-workers will just have to settle for a simple pasta dish. I think my sauce is a bit too "tomato-ish," but that's what they get for making me cook. My sister Roz is pregnant and will be due any time now. Hopefully Lena (my other sis) and I will be able to arrange time off from work during X-mas break so that I can go out and visit her. Chad will be going to San Francisco this October. That's when his sister is getting married. Depending on how my schedule is (and my cash flow), I may try to go visit him and Erik beans up there while he's there. It will work out great! I can crash at Erik's or my aunt's place and see two of my good freinds! Besides...I LOVE Frisco (almost as much as I love NY). I'm reading D. H. Laurences' Sons and Lovers. So far it's a really good book. I should have it finished eventually.... I need to squeeze in more reading time between work, school, and studying. I think this is enough typing for now. If I keep writing I won't have anything else to say for several months!!!
08/29/00 4:20PM - I have good freinds . I really do. I have been thinking about that a lot lately. Things have been pretty good since I broke up with John. I'm slowly putting my life back together and I don't know if I could have done it without them. That does not mean that I'm not over him. It's like re-building a city after a natural disaster... it takes time. I'm trying to get re-focused in school and I'm looking for carreer opportunities and/or internships more geared to my major. Wish me luck! I'll need all I can get. I've basically come to the conclusion that I probably won't be dating anyone while I'm in San Diego. It's kinda sad and pathetic, but that's how cruel life can be. My mom has asked me again if I was dating anyone. I told her "No," she said "Too Bad." Haha! Well at least this time she didn't ask me if I was a lesbian! =P I just haven't found anyone worth my time that I can be compatible with. Oh well. It's probably a good thing. Knowing my bad luck, and how finicky I am when it comes to guys.. I'll end up being single forever! That's pretty depressing. Last night I hung out with Emily and Peter. We haven't done this for a while and it was cool to talk to then and hang out with them again. We just need to add Adrian and it would have been complete (but he has school in Irvine). We ate at Chevy's and then hung out at Borders (book store). Emily and I had caught the 4:40PM showing of "Autumn in New York," earlier. It had a good cast, a good driector, but a horrible script. Oh well. Total chick flick. Lan woke me up today at 10AM. She decided to call me because she was bored. Well it was good talking to her though. I rarely get to see and hear from her since her parents won't let her do anything. Well I've got to eat now and get ready for work. Ugh...
08/27/00 1:45AM - We are getting a new refrigerator in 10 days. We already have two, but one doesn't keep food as cold anymoe so we're getting a new one. And no... We're not getting rid of the old one because in my family, we never thow anything out. So here we are, 10 days before the new fridge comes in and my dad decides that we need to move the old one in the kitchen to it's new location on the other side of the kitchen. So now we're going to have two refrigerators in the kitchen....and on in the garage. I have a headache just thinking about it. So my sis and I end up having to clear out all the junk out of the kitchen fridge, move the damn thing to its new corner, and put all the crap back. That was yesterday. This morning I went to the San Diego Zoo with my sister. We went to see baby Hua Mei. We've gone like 3 times already (annual pass) and all we've seen so far is that darn baby panda asleep in her tree! Today she scratched her foot! Whoopee!!! I also saw a baby koala. It's so cute and adorable and cuddly looking, but looks can be decieving. Just look at me and my freinds. We all look innocent enough..but that's another story... My sis and I usually go hit a few places on a regualr bais. We usually go see the baby panda, then the hippos (who were quite active today), the polar bears (who were frolicking the water), the koalas, the monkey, the meerkats, and the nursery. Later this afternoon I went to The Block. The Block is a mall located in Orange County, CA. I went with Chau and her boyfriend, Huy. We drove, got lost, eventually arrived, left, and had Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Supposedly they're supposed to be like "OH MY GOD!" Doughnuts... But after buying a dozen, and sampling a few of them..they're still doughnuts to me. Nothing special..just REALLY sweet. I guess the secret to their success is in their glaze...or something. We then met up with her freind up there and had lunch at an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ place. Yummy! Drove home, had a headache, and now I'm vegging out online. What a productive weekend. =)
08/21/00 12:01 AM - So I've been very bad in keeping this updated. Oh well.. At least I'm doing something now. Better late then never, right? Let's see... The last update was in April. What has happened since? Not too much, to tell you the truth. It's a fact that I'm not too happy in admiting, but the truth nonetheless. Somehow I survived spring quarter, and when summer came around I started trining for a customer service position at Geico. Training was full time, which pretty much ate up all my time. I didn't see anyone or get to spend much quality time with my freinds. Yes, I'm still single..not too much to brag about in that department. I got two of my wisdom teeth pulled (I didn't get knocked out..just got "shot up" a couple times). Pretty fun, eh? I was totally bummed for about 1 month (the recovery time), since I was very limited in the types of food I can eat. Emily finally turned 21. Yippee! She had a little party and did a bit of "experimenting" of her own with alcohol. I'm pretty sure it will be a night that she'll remember! Peter also turned 21, but instead of celebrating it with us, he went on a road trip with his other friends. They ended up going to Vegas and having a blast. That's okay.... I'll just have to live my life vicariously though the adventures of others. The road trip was all a part of his older brother's wedding celebration, so I guess we'll forgive him for ditching us. I've got a lot of pictures that need to be scanned, but of course, the scanner is still busted. Anyone have one that I can borrow? Anyone know how to fix a scanner, or at least know the software stuff that is in a scanner program??? Help!!! I saw the Sting concert tonight. It was really cool. he put on an excellent show. The best part was the concert was free. My sister is a "freeloader" with a local radio station and she turns in these points she accumulates for neat things like concert tickets. In June she also won a trip for 2 to London to see Santana, but I couldn't go because of finals. Have I mentioned how much school sucks? Anyway... I'm going to be graduating next year in June. I'm kinda excited about it, and I'm scared at the same time. I'm not prepared for grad school. I'm even planning on taking 1 yr off. What am I going to do with my life? I have to take the GRE's!!! CRAP!!!! Dillemas..Dillemas....
