05/28/02 10:15PM - Happy Birthday to my mommy! I'm actually not quite sure how old she is anymore, but it doesn't matter. As Aaliyah once said, "age ain't nothing but a number." We had a quiet dinner at home. I got my mommy some shoes. I hope she likes them. Last Fri my friend Peter called and left me a message on my voice mail. He's back from Europe, hooray! Now I have another friend to bug when I'm bored! He's a busy guy though. I haven't heard back from him - I need to give him his Graduation/Going away/WelcomeBack and if I can't find something by next month - Bday gift. hehehe. Lan and I went to LA over the weekend. I was detrminded to not spend Memorial day weekend at home doing nothing. So we drove up Sat morning to do nothing on Sat, Sun, Mon at her cousin's place. :) On Sat we ended up watching Star Wars Episodes 3,4,and 5 on her cousin's VHS. On Sun we took a nap for 1/2 the day, and on Mon we went home. Pretty pathetic. At least I accomplished my goal of not being at home. Somehow I feel better knowing I wasn't at home when I was vegging out. Sad, but true. I also got a call from my friend Erik on Mon. He's coming down to SD from SF Father's day weekend, so we might hang out Sat night. Yippee Skippy! I feel so toally special! Next weekend I'll be in LA (again...) for Mylinh's Bday and Congradualtions party. That girl is part of a nationwide 3% that passed the licensing test for international customs/import-export trade. That's CRAZY!!! I totally knew that she would pass, but who would've thunk that the pass ratio would be so small. Oh well. Congrats girl! We're gonna party Sat night! I must do some shopping this week and pick up a nice gift for her. I haven't really taken any pictures with my camera yet. I've been playing with it, but all the pictures have been rather crappy - so I end up deleting them. My sister anf her family will be coming in a few weeks, so you'll see a lot of pictures of my nephew soon. I'm really excited though. I've been ordering a lot of dstuff online lately, and the stuff I ordered is starting to come in. All the sudden it feels like X-mas again to me. I have gained 6 pounds since I got sick. I'm very upset by this discovery and have no idea what's going on with my sad little body. I may have to sater to *gasp* exercise - but we'll see about that..... 05/15/02 11:58AM -Last Wednesday, one of the kids I worked with was sick. I mean, snotty, sneezing, drolling - disgustingly sick. However. being the duitiful therapist I was, I worked my shift regardless of his mother's retardedness of making the child have therapy that day. I was rewarded for my efforts with an evil flu for 4 days and a lingering cough.I am just retuning to work again, having taken Friday off, bedridden on Sat and Sun, and faint on Mon. Tues I was on my way to recovery - but wanted to rest up just in case. On a positive note, I got my digital camera today (Olympus D40). It's so small, cute, and compact. I'm very excited. I want to pick up a bigger memory card sometime before the end of the month. 16MB just isn't going to cut it. So eventually this web apge will be plastered with pictires, How exciting! :) 04/28/02 11:48PM - My scanner is a piece of shit. I need to go pick up a better one sometime this week. I also need to go get myself a digital camera. I think I'll wait until I get my settlement money in before I go buying these fun gadgets for myself. In the meantime - looks like you'll just have to be patient for the new pics to arrive. 04/19/02 10:59AM - The past few weeks have been busy for me. Work is the same as usual. I just have more paperwork to do - and you all know the procrastinator that I am. I'm slowly, but surely getting my room in order. I have too much crap, and too little space to put it all - so I'm just trying to re-organize everything in some manner or another. Lan, Cherlyn, and I have been spending a lot of time together lately, Kinda reminiscent of our days in Jr high and the early high school years. It's good to have a solid friendship and a strong foundation you can rely on. The girls and I went to CA Disney Adventures last weekend, and next weekend we're going out to the Getty. Yup. I'm going to convert them into art nerds like myself. :) Tonight we're gonna go clubbin'. woo hoo! Oh yeah and last weekend we also went to the Carlsbad flower fields. Cherlyn brought her trusty camera, and my computer is fixed now - so those pictures will be up soon. Other than that, not much is happening. If anything comes up i'll be sure to post. 03/27/02 9:15AM - I suppose it's about time I logged back in again. I've been so lazy these past few weeks. I really haven't had much of an urg to go online as much, nor to update as much. It's bcoming tedious, after I realized that there was so much else to be done in my own little world. So what's been happening...? Let's see. I turned 23 earlier this month. I don't necessarily feel any older - no different from when I was 22, or 21 - but I know I'm getting older. To celebrate, I had dinner with my freinds a week early at a Korean joint (one of my freinds would be away on business on the week of my Bday so I accomodated my schedule), then me and my 2 best freinds (and my mom) went to Vegas for a weekend. Vegas was lots of fun, very interesting, and vert tiring. Like NYC, it is truly a city that never sleeps. I am so proud of myself! I turned a 5-6 hour drive into a 4:30 drive. Pretty cool. Go speed racer! Go! We went clubbing, saw some sights, did some gambling, and carried back lots of funny memories with us. It was a wonderful way to celebrate. The girls and I are shooting for a London vacation next year. Hopefully we'll be able to save enough funds for that. I've been having out with my freind Pete a lot recently. He's going on vacation to Europe for 2 months in 2 days. The lucky SOB. He deserves it though, he's worked hard, and it's really the bst time for him to go - he's got a job waiting for him at hime, no girlfriends, family and freinds in Europe - it all adds up to a fun and adventureous trip with no strings attached. I certainly hope he has a ton of fun and lots of stories to bring back. I need to live my life vicariously though his, because his is so much more entertaining. :) Work is good. I just got another raise, but for some reason, my paychecks seems to be getting smaller. hmm.... Now does that work out? I really enjoy my job and it's the most fulfilling and rewarding thing I'v done. What I like the best is, the fact that it is never the same from day to day. Those kids keep me on my toes! I know that this has been a pretty boring entry - but that's just the way my life is .... *sigh* I've been taking care of a bunch of boring stuff that has been sitting around and waiting for me to get to it - so I really don't have much to say. Go fig. 03/09/02 7:10PM - Happy birthday to my sister Roz! So Pete and I hung out last night just chit-chatting. I think he is now coming to the realization that we're all getting older and growing up. So we spent the reaminder of the evening bitching about it. It was pretty funny yet drepressing at the same time. At least I know I'm not alone in feeling old anymore. Earlier that day I had 1/2 of a Vente Brownie Mocha Frappachino from Starbucks. Now I don't normally drink coffee, but I wanted a chocolate smoothie really badly and all that was around was Starbucks. That stuff is so strong. When ADHD kids are on Ritalin, they look calm on the outside, but theur heart and their insides are going at like 200MPH. That's what i felt like from 3PM - 9PM that evening. Needless to say I won't be drinking anymore coffee from Starbucks anymore. On a positive note, I provided comical entertainment for Peter while we were hanigng out. Tomorrow I'm going to drive up and go see the Getty. Hopefully the weather will be nice and sunny. I hate driving in the rain... So lately I've been feeling a bit chubby and out of shape. Thus I have an urge to go to the gym, but not really. My RIMAC membership is over because I've graduated, and I am currently borrowing my sister's 24 Hour fitness ID. the problem is, I don't like to work out by myself. I want to have a friend there with me because A.) the gym is a giant meat market and I am not for sale - and B.) beacuse then I get depressed working out by myself. My twisted little logic is : if I work out with friends, i'm socializing; but if I work out by myself, it's because my ass is fat and I HAVE to work out. I would rather lie to myself and say that i'm there to socialize.... In the interim, I guess i have to hunt down my little ab roller and thigh master, polish off the dust, and get to work in the privacy of my own home I'm in a very talkative mood lately. I don't know why. perhaps this is just a phase, or a way for me to vent out my daily events before they all bottle up and get to me. WHo the heck knows. All I know is that I want to call up random people just to talk, but everyone is busy doing their own stuff right now. Thus, I'm here updating. *sigh* I guess it's back to watching TV for me. 03/05/02 9:45PM - The thought of growing up and being a responsible adult seriously scraes me. It's not that I'm an irresponsible person in the first place, -it's more the thought that I don't really have the option to have someone hold my hand and guide me though life that scares me. Like I stated in my last entry, I've begun thinking of grad school, and the options for my future career - and things are looking pretty darn bleak to me. Time has suddenly become a valuable thing to me and it seems as if I've just wasted the past seven years of my life. How sad is that conclusion? Not that I didn't learn any valuable or important lessons about myself or about life in general - I feel as if I just wasted it away by not fully living up to my potential. By the time I realized how badly things were messed up, it was too late- the damage has been done - and it's seriously been an uphill battle ever since. College wasn't one of my proud moments of life, but I sturggled and at least I survived. But just surviving isn't going to get me into the grad school I want to go to. Now I have to work extra hard to prove myself to others that I am a hard and capable person who can dedicate themself to a task if it really important to them. I also have to work extra hard to make sure that I keep up my confidence and make sure I don't beat myself up or think that I'm a total loser (beacuse dammit I'm da bomb!). So yeah, that's where I am at in my life. I've been doing a lot of reading for my own pleasure lately, something that I truly missed in college. Not that I ever stopped reading, I just wan't able to read as much. That is one of the priviledges that graduate life has given me. I guess it is now time to get productive and read to further my own education while I'm at it. |
