i found this as i was going through old cards. it's ironic that this half sheet of paper was given to me by someone i don't talk to anymore. i guess i can thank her for this half sheet of wisdom. it's too long to retype, but here are my favorites:
"always remember that everything happens for a reason.. there is always a greater purpose even when it may seem unclear & not right."
"if you can do it on your own.. do it.. don't go around life relying on people to help you through everything.. it's okay to have someone to lean on.. but don't make it so they're the ones that are holding you up.. you have to first learn how to stand on your own so that you can walk with others later.."
"don't EVER waste your time on trying to be who EVRYONE else wants you to be.."
"you never know your true strengths until you test your limits.."
"life is full of mistakes.. it's the lesson learned through those mistakes that count.."

i feel SO unproductive. =( but today & yesterday were good being social days. =)
yesterday, i had my weekly SE team meeting, went to reuben h., had an informational interview, watched 'hurricane on the bayou' - an imax film, then met up w/ a friend i havent seen since 4th grade, then el bizcocho at the rb inn, golden spoon, then 'the holiday.'
side points:
- 'hurricane on the bayou' was such a heartfelt touching film. it was 45 minutes of good thinking stuff. they talked about the importance of the wetlands & how they're the "speed bumps" for hurricanes. then it showed the aftermath of katrina. yea. SAD stuff. go check it out. =)
- catch up w/ katy. i havent seen her since 4th grade.. like.. SERIOUSLY. haha.. it's funny how 11 years or so can be covered in an hour's conversation. but like she said, at least it hasn't gotten to the point where we're like "yea, nothing's changed." yeaa..
- el bizcocho is the only 5 star restaurant in san diego, as i overheard from the waiter & from clare who heard from adam. haha.. it was seriously an experience. SERIOUSLY. =P "what do you do if you drop your napkin?" 'they didnt teach me this stuff!' dropping food. hahaha.. <3
today i checked out the new mall in chula vista w/ squishy, went to michaels, went to jane's, back to michaels, drove in circles looking for mcdonalds.. haha, hung out w/ clare for a little bit, watched some of 'sixteen candles,' KA's first ever pcn - kraizi talaga ('then it must suck for those who are born in april!' *points at self!* haha..) & now wasting time.. rawr!
but yea. big side note: i was SO PROUD of all my friends who took part of PCN! it was a very good show! it was so nice to see how before everyone was all stressing about it & now as a result of their hard work & great efforts, they looked SO HAPPY to be done with it. the show itself was both educational & entertaining. haha.. i really do want to see it again. haha.. i loved the male dancers, the hosts, just EVERYTHING! haha.. it was awesome. for sure. if you didnt go, you missed out~
on THAT note, i got the date for my SE project presentation. i'm so excited & nervous for it! we're one of the first groups to go & i really want to set the bar high! haha.. i'm sure i'll go through a lot of stress (& i SO am right now!), but i know, just like with all the KA members, i'll be so happy when it's over. it's just a reflection of all the hard work you've put into it & of course you want it to look good & to be appreciated by everyone who watches it. ahhh.. yea.
i cant believe it's the freakin' 7th of april. where's the time going?!
need to be productive now. or at least make a list of things to do.

i cant study.
i'm too depressed.
what's on my mind??
i miss my friends & family. isabelle can speak more chinese than me! it's crazy! but it's cute too.. haha.. i miss alex. i havent talked to him in forever. i want to visit kat & dudley. i want to travel to a different country.
it's funny how things change. or happen.
why am i talking to him again? it makes me mad sometimes. but i did miss having him as a friend. siigh. i'm pathetic. why do i bother with people like that? i already have awesome people in my life who do things for me normal friends dont do. (ie: making their coworkers take surveys for me! haha.) it's weird how i can not talk to people for awhile & talk to them months later & all is fine. does that make me fake? to want to be friends w/ everyone? i have friends who dont like people in my life, but i still hang out w/ & talk to them. what does that make me? too nice?? a people pleaser?? BLAH?!
i'm scared of & nervous about the future.
get a REAL job? get my own insurance? get my own place?! get married?? (KRRR!) have kids?! BE HAPPY?!
yea. that brings on the thoughts about getting a job. half of me is in the whole 'i'm getting a degree, who WOULDNT want to hire me!' & the other half is 'so what if you have a degree? its way competitive out there!' obviously that means i'm half confident & the other half is not.
sometimes i just want to cry because there's too much going on. too many things i'm "supposed" to be doing. too many things i "should've" done. constantly looking for a career while studying for quizzes, preparing for presentations, reading textbooks, researching for papers, being organized for the team, going the extra mile just because that's in my nature (ie: staying for 2 hours to meet w/ a nonhelpful teacher for 10 minutes), staying active in SIE, keeping up w/ people i want in my network, being a good friend/sister/daughter/whatever, and trying to remember to eat & sleep while attempting to remain sane.
yea. i complain too much.
there's a lot going on in april! i'm excited! but seriously after this weekend, up until my birthday weekend, i'm going to be studious & SUPER antisocial. that's like.. one weekend. haha.. but whatever. =P a LOT can happen in a week, as we've BEEN learning this semester.
i got to catch up with one of my friends earlier & she was talking to me about her SE group & a lot of the things i was telling her.. i was listening too. 'there's no way but up from there.' "if there's a will, there's a way." 'whatever doesn't kill you will only make you stronger.' those are my favorite sayings & beliefs for this semester & this year. SERIOUSLY.
i still dont feel any better.....

after we got back, i uploaded pictures, started messing around w/ my ipod, then went w/ rhona to watch boys play football in mira mesa. 'hey chewy, what's your last name?' haha.. "the fog moved!" .. 'so who do you think is cute on the field?' good talks w/ rhona! haha.. "it was nice meeting you again!" hahaha.. funny stuff!
yea. surprisingly this spring break was good.
BUT.. i love how when clare & i were getting closer to being back, all my thoughts of what i needed to do were slowly coming back into my brain. siiigh. & sadly, it's a lot.
i'll end with some of my favorites from the trip:
family! <3 (well, the girls.)
best friends! = )
