HAPPY 8.31!! =D hahaha.. if you know what that means.
clare & i celebrated our 1 year @ islands. YEAUH! "come back come back.. *pause* she heard me!" hahaha.. then went shopping - which is EViL!! haha.. then got ice cream @ coldstone! YUM! good times w/ the bf, fosho! =D
i was productive today. YAY!! =D
AND!! i got my poptarts!! yumm! no cereal for me. =)!
you know what? .. it's been over 2 years since i've moved here! CRAZY. but it's weird.. how it doesnt seem like it's been that long. =/ then the other day, debb & i were talking about how we've all become accustomed to where we live now. with her in reno, kat in nm, alex in la, me here.. i think we're all used to it. i dont know. just another chapter in our lives..? i'm sad sometimes.. but i think it's more like nostalgia than saddness..
funny how so many people have come into/passed through my life. in the past 2 years especially. just WOW~ i feel bad about the ones i dont talk to or dont think too fondly of.. but yea. quality over quantity, right? =)
i always talk about that in my entries. at least once a month. dang.
hey guess WHAT.. it's GONE NOW!! so you guys cant give me GRiEF about it anymore!!! "you guys" as in clare & diana!!! >=T
i dont think i'll be able to hang in the library as much this semester. darn. =(
i'm blah. =/ i dont know why. =//
tomorrow is wednesday. school 7am-12:45pm. =) then movies at 5ish? we'll see.

SOOOO NICE!! so we rode the goliath, scream (twice!), batman, riddler's revenge, then we ate (what a rip off!! $8 for pizza?! >=T), tried to go on deja vu (after waiting for awhile cause they were having "technical difficulties", we left. i felt bad for the people stuck up there.. =T), rode viper, then x (omb.. i think that was my FAVORiTE!! =D), & our last ride was deja vu.. i'm glad they reopened it because that's probably my 2nd favorite! haha.. dang.. oOoh.. and i cant forget those WATER RiDES we went on!! haha.. roaring rapids was GREAT. albeit the longest we had to wait in a line.. we found ways to kill time. haha.. but yea.. i chose the good line. =) those guys caught up & were in our raft!! YEAUH. =)
other favorite moments of the day:
- green *and* brown shirt guy! haha.. ^.~
- TiC TAC TOE!! hahaha..

yesterday was a LONG day. haha.. work was okay. at home we had no internet. so my little cousin made me play monopoly with him. i think the reason why i hate playing games is because i always/usually lose. =/ talked to dickson.

i got to hang out w/ one of my FAVORiTE san diego guys!! =D yepp! ViNNiE!! haha.. we went out at what, 11pm, to "run late night errands" @ albertsons. haha.. the contact solution took me forever to find & that was after i had to ask. =P then we went & hung out at starbucks before they closed, then outside in the marketplace. yea. we just talked. i'm glad i got to hang out w/ him at LEAST once all by myself! haha.. i miss talking to him everyday.. like back in senior year.. =( ah well.. he says i'm still the same.. haha.. i dont know if that's good or bad. hm. oH! i still need to ask my parents about china. and there IS a difference with being content & being happy. haha.. yea. so that was that. GOOD STUFF! =)
saturday. in the morning, there was lots of nothingness. then clare called & we talked for awhile. =) then i met up w/ randy & diana > styles > back to diana's > bank > short road trip up to anaheim. stupid yahoo gave me really weird directions or maybe it was the area? anyways, we found the club - the boogie after many u-turns. it was too early, so we went to mcds, ate, & played cards to pass the time. =) then.. we went & sat in the parking lot waiting til 9. so when we got in.. a good 45 minutes passed & NOTHiNG was happening. so what do you do? SOMETHiNG. haha.. just like in the black eyed peas song, "let's get it started in here."
randy, diana & i got it started in there!! =D shooot. haha.. "look, they're all getting up now!" YAYYY! =D "did he LiCK YOUR EAR??" grosss!! hahaha.. and oh MAN! there were SO MANY GUYS!! .. too bad more than half werent cute? ehh. we lived. we had randy to dance with. haha.. and then.. i met eric from irvine & he was fun to dance with. i couldnt keep up but he kept dancing w/ me. haha.. so that was nice of him. the bear & rose was a nice touch. the water too. =)) so yea. the 3 of us left around 1:30. i got home a little before 3am. yea.

- went to 24hr w/ kevin!
- hung out w/ diana

yep. it was a good day. it was REALLY nice seeing rose & just hanging out. now it's your turn to come down here!! =D
i feel i'm lacking in emotion right now. =/ or maybe there's too many all at once. there's annoyance on the side to this happiness, along with the feeling of shit-ness & all that fun stuff. something's wrong or bugging me. i cant figure it out..
me: headache. sleep. you: have a good weekend~

i cant sleep. which sucks.
so what to do? blog. heh. my past 2 days have been great. =)
on monday, i watched princess diaries 2 with michele. =) afterwards, we went to eat @ mimi's cafe. YUM! "she must think we're cows!" haha.. so that was super nice.. hanging w/ my cool AUNTiE!! =P then on the way home, i saw adam standing outside of clare's house, so i called them up & got invited over. =)) haha.. jb's really amusing to listen to! "but i'm shy." or better yet, "cry first!" haha.. 'my place' - i cant listen to it w/o thinking of jb now, clare! cuteness. haha.. then we watched 'kate & leopold' but left before it was over cause of our tiredness. nevertheless, good times with ACT. =)
as for my yesterday - tuesday, i wake up to find a text message from paul. 'happy birthday to me.' yea,
HAPPY 23rd BIRTHDAY PAUL!! =) i was supposed to go work out, but yea.. the end of summer is here, i wanted to sleep in. =T but yea - went 'swimming' w/ michele & tien. but i was 'tanning'.. -.- haha.. left them to go pick up diana & we went to edwards to watch 'little black book'.. it's a good movie. brittany murphy is a good actress. "is that nemo?" marketplace. saw the BiRHTDAY BOY!! paul & ali and friends. saw other people too! "why do they have girlfriends?!" haha.. but yea. diana & i went to innout. "i like the new name.. balls." hahaha.. =) and then.. went home. called people. =)) i got to talk to rosemarie after quite some time of not talking to her. it was really NICE! =)
i dont know. the conversation we had got me thinking. no one really does know who you are but yourself & maybe a few really really REALLY close friends. and i dont know why people's opinions/comments affect me the way they do. when they shouldnt.. as much as i let them, anyways.
i was thinking about my summer earlier. i'm kind of sad about not talking to a lot of people. or hanging w/ people i would have liked to hung out with. but.. i am happy w/ those i DID get to see/hang out with.. every summer's different. when i made a comment to rose about how i cant wait to get back so i can see everyone again, she said how school shouldnt be a place where you can be social but a place where you learn & all that stuff. GO ROSE! =D good stuff!
so i got the 21st OFF!! but yea, now i get a lovely 8 hour shift later today! whooo.. and i was thinking that yea, it wont be busy, BUT all those hardcore macy*s shoppers should know that tomorrow is the start of another (of their MANY) sales. so it might be busy. shit fuck. haha.. oh well, at least i've got the whole day saturday OFF!! =D plus, i get a bigger paycheck next week. YEAUH! =D
you know how you should feel something, but you dont feel ANYTHiNG? .. yea.
no more movies until after school starts up again. i think i can last. =)
haha.. i'm talking to my brother right now. he was just telling me about this pick up line he just thought up:
d: haha god...saying these are like just asking to be slapped in the face or something
t: HAHAHAHAHA
t: NICE
t: you should try those out dan
- skipping parts -
d: its not going to happen
t: why not
t: get some bawls
t: harhar
d: haha.....................
d: you suck
haha.. okay. i should try to get some sleep now. goodnight~

i've been blogging too much. gross. but yea. i got this from carl's xanga. i thought it was interesting. it took me forever! but it's done.
write about 15 random people without mentioning their names.
1. this guy has known me the longest. he's fun. he's a great listener. he'd give me rides. he'd make food for me. he'd beat anyone up if i told him to. all in all, he's an awesome human being.
2. when i first met this girl, i was dumbfounded. she was SO LOUD & WEIRD & HYPER!! but it's all good. it helped me out in the end. kind of. i'm weird. & loud (sometimes!) deep down inside, i know she has a good heart although others may think otherwise.
3. with this person, there's always good random fun. she has a really interesting outlook on life.
4. one of the funnest people i know! i swear. he LOVES tricking me. since the first time we met. some "stories" i believe for MONTHS. but it's all good. this guy has been nothing but good times & lots of laughs.
5. for as long as we've known each other, this person.. i can say is one of my role models. someone i can look up to. she knows what she wants out of life. setting goals & checking things off to do lists.
6. i used to like this guy. but he was sooo immature. and now? he's grown up a LOT. it just shows - people CAN change. when they do something about it. and when they WANT to change.
7. we can not talk for months or see each other for years or be in the next state, yet still be there for one another when needed.
8. someone i can be realistic with. we see the other side to things. we think outside of the box. it's nice having that kind of "connection".
9. a person i havent talked to in the past few months & feel guilty about not keeping in touch. we go way back. to when boba was cool. i love this guy because there's always "stuff" that happens to him when he's such a good guy & he always keeps his head up. i wish i were more optimistic like him.
10. he tells it like it is. he makes me feel dumb sometimes, but what he tells me makes me think. he keeps me on my toes.
11. people expect too much from this person. i can relate to this person sometimes - but to an extent. this person has always been encouraging/supportive and caring.
12. if there's such thing as being TOO nice, this person is it. one of the greatest people i've been blessed to know and glad to have as a friend.
13. someone i make fun of every now & then. someone who makes fun of me on a regular basis. good jokes, bad jokes. someone who i am comfortable with.
14. it feels like we've been friends for years! this girl is someone i can blab to about anything at anytime of the day. "those" kind of friends are GREAT!
15. the way this person acted was so goofy and carefree. it's kind of disappointing/sad to see that they've changed.

sunday = family day. both sides & more.
yesterday, my parents, brother & i went to pearl in rb to celebrate my mom's grandma's brother in law's 90th birthday. "so.. this whole room full of people, we're related to them in SOME way??" .. 'yea.' it was freakn crazy. i thought it was quite amusing to see my parents get excited, my mom especially, on seeing people they havent seen for quite a few years. quite a few being 20 or so? heh. yea - CRAZY. "yea, if we go now, it's going to take your mom an hour to say goodbye to everyone she knows." *we're walking out, i look back & see my mom's stopped to talk to someone* "see?" heh.
i learned the secrets to having a long life yesterday. (according to the guy who flew in all the way from japan! O.O!) it's to have lots of walks and to smile a lot. yea, it was kind of funnier when he explained the walking part. =) but wow. he didnt even LOOK or ACT like he was 90!! i hope i'm like that when i'm older.
peaches represent long life. (i think? i know the noodles represent that, but peaches? dang it. this was just last night. arRr!)
anyways. i got kind of sad being there at the restaurant. there was a slideshow & there were sooo many pictures of him w/ his children, grandchildren & yea. family. closeness. it made me wish that we had more of that.
OOOH! halfway through the dinner, my mom got a phone call from my favorite cuzzay in ny - EVA!! =D dude. i was so loud & probably annoying. haha.. but DANG. i have NOT talked to her for over a year!! so i was ESCTATiC!! it was SOOOO nice talking to her. aww.. siigh. i cant wait til she's back in NY so i can visit!! i miss my mom's side of the family! <33
after the party thing, we went over to the lehmans. dang. a day filled w/ family. and it wasnt over yet. heh. nice. so the grown ups talked & took pictures and all that jazz. it was kind of cool. i dont think my moms have seen each other since.. last summer? =/ CURAZY.
yea, when we got home, it was weird. i ended up looking through my grandma's photo album. i was looking through it backwards. (dont ask) and it was.. so weird.. how we're all distant yet close? but not as close? because as i kept flipping backwards, i saw pictures of me, my little cousins as babies w/ my grandparents. i dont know. it was.. weird. i dont know if it's drama or more like, tension, or whatever, but everything's different. in a not so good way.
so i was talking to my brother this afternoon & we were talking about my grandma. it's kind of weird how an outsider's perspective can affect you. i mean, i noticed it before.. how my brother didnt really listen to my little cousins when they would say certain things about certain people.. he'd just be like "how about i beat you?" or "how about you shut up?" or something along those lines. heh. go brother. i feel like one of the crappiest people. especially with that quote in mind. "in the end, it's not the voice of our enemies we remember, but the silence of our friends.." i feel like i'm just letting everyone be mean to each other, but just standing there doing nothing is just as bad. rawrawr. i think it'd help if i spoke chinese?! =/ shit fuck. i feel like crap.
and thenn.. more on the family thing. heh. my grandma was showing my dad pictures from her trip to china. & when i was done looking at her album, i wanted to see too, so i went over & my dad was telling me about each picture. my great grandparents donated to some class & they have a picture & plaque dedication by the door?? the whole school greeted them when they went to visit?? we have a house over there?? there's a whole village full of szeto's?! (er yea. situ's.) yea. did i know ANY of that?? NO. what the hell. i'm so.. out of it. there's so much HiSTORY over there. i want to know about it. i want to learn. family is a big part of who i am.
so i hope what's supposed to happen next summer, or on my parent's 25th anniversary, happens.

something's missing.
i hate sleepless nights. you know.. those nights where you cant go to sleep but you know you're tired & when you wake up, it feels like you havent slept at all? .. cause THOSE are cool! .. -.-
i have no energy. (yet i have energy to type this meaningless stuff? UGH.. that makes SENSE!)
it's kind of sad how.. i know there are people who care about me, yet i still feel alone. i've been out of touch w/ some friends. everyone's in vegas now except for me. i feel like i'm missing out. or something's missing. sure "alone time" is good/therapeutic/whatever.. but yea. okay. you know how if you want something, you can never get it, but when you can get it.. you dont really want it? yea.
i WANT to go to sleep. now i wont get it. see? the logic works.
