Tumblr.

For those of you who don't know, I've started a more public accessible Tumblr.

Follow me there.

No worries, I will not abandon this site. This is just a more personal space. Although, my tumblr is breaching the personal now. Oh well.

Today's Postsecret

I love this sunday's postsecrets. I love how i can relate to them in some weird way. For some reason, there was a focus on shoes. I've always felt that i'm less lonely when i have cute shoes. I used to be so hardcore about it until i realized functionality and practicality is more important. What an epiphany that was. Sometimes i still ridiculous when it comes to buying shoes. I opt for a half size smaller just because its the last pair and i MUST MUST have it. I'm so stupid because then i can only wear for a short period of time before i have to take a much needed break.

POSTSECRET WITH ME

For some reason, the herpes postcard made me laugh. It really sucks that after being married for 14 years, your freaken husband gave you freaken herpes. Goodness me. I really don't know how i'd feel about that. Because if it magically appeared 14 years later, you know that he's been fooling around. But if you've always had it, but never really noticed it until now? I'm a tad bit doubtful about that one, but it's better than the other alternative.

I also laughed at the "afraid of marriage because i pick my nose." Dude, EVERYONE and their mom picks their nose. What an irrational fear. I'm only gonna admit this now - I PICKS MY NOSEY and sometimes...it feels good. =] How gross is that. What's grosser is when you see someone in the "privacy" of their own car picking their nose. Yah...as if the TINT is strong enough to cover your big honken nose.

The last one that stood out was the SMA New Year's Resolution one. I love how she turned grief into something positive. What a strong person.

My Laptop!!

The doorbell rang this morning. I was kind of confused but eventually answered the door. It was the delivery lady dropping off a package. The first thing i thought of was the bf's present. He's a teaser and kept saying that he bought me a laptop. So that was my initial thought because the lady had a DELL box. The lady asked for my older sister and i realized that it's my sister's laptop. She previously ordered one. I signed it and brought it in for her. She was really excited. I asked her why she got an old school one and she said that TTech (where she's going to med school) required it. TT is a school that's based on dell technology and they wanted her to get one with windows XP. I don't know, but she seems to like it. It's actually really nice. I was mildly impressed. She asked me when i'm getting mine. I was kind of shocked. I didn't know if she was kidding because at first she didn't want me to get a laptop. Why the sudden change of heart? Anyways, I told her that i was getting it later today.

I am now typing this on my brand new laptop! I love love love it! I got the HP special edition. I think the first thing i did was smell it. Just like the smell of a new car, the smell of new technology is enticing. I'm in love again! Today was a fun day. I wore a summer dress and was ready to step outside when i realized that it was raining. Gosh darn. The weather is so unpredictable. As much as i love rain, i wanted to wear a dress. So i got out of the dress i was wearing and wore some jeans so that i could wear some rain boots. Before i left, my little sister asked me to cut her hair. I'm not a pro. I alwyas give everyone fair warning before i start cutting. If i screw up, it's because i'm not a pro and that they wanted me to cut their hair at their own risk. This was also a How-To chance. I recorded the haircutting process and little sister's editing it. It might be up by tomorrow. Anyways, i did kind of mess up on her hair. She loves the back of her hair, but the front is kind of...lopsided? She's not upset at. Well, she was mildly at first. If you keep saying hair grows and it's summer, it's not so bad.

I ate at Mongolian Grill today. It's a really interesting concept. You get a bowl and fill it with as many goodies as you can/want. When you're done, give it to the griller and they will cook your bowl. It's kind of neat. My bowl was extra spicey. I'm not sure if i liked the ocmbination. I loaded up on things i liked: scallops, shrimp, meat, green beans, etc. In the end, it tasted kind of weird. It tastes very americanized. I'll give that place about a 3 out of 5. My little brother made some weird concoction too. He kept whining and complaining. Sigh. He's never satisfied. You can't live with them and you can't live without them.

Good website to refer to: HERE. I already eat a lot of these foods. It shows you 8 healthy foods you should eat.

Youtube

I don't know how i found this neat little youtube vid. She's an actress, singer, dancer, overall performer. This is one of her amazing talents. You get a sample of 21 different accents in 2 1/2 min. I was kind of weirded at first. I didn't know what she was doing until i read a little but about her. It's really interesting. I think she has a great smile. There's one vid of her in dashing red lipstick. It's so complimentary to her pale skin. I'm in awe! I tried doing this, but i failed miserably. Oh well. Since i don't have much to do today, i'm catching up on my Dancing with the Stars! I'm watching my favorite couples, making sure that they at the top. Yay for Kristi!! She's so cute. I think the best part about this show is the live music. I really like the band! The voices are great and it's so fun to hear the fresh renditions they deliver. It shows that classic dancing is not just for the old generation, but it's definitely a modern thing. In week 5, i like how Kristi's dance partner described the Rumba. "It's a horizontal expression of a vertical desire." LOVE love love how that's described. In week 6, the couple did a jive!! It was so fun and cute that i have to show it here in hopes that people will watch it.

The outfits are adorable and their energy was contagious. Wasn't that fun? I was bopping along to the whole thing. I have no idea why i'm so obsessed with this show. I think it's because i don't have any dancing skills, so i live vicariously through them. I also like the show, So You Think You Can Dance? It's so neat to watch people dance because they love dancing. It's the same for any talent. I love to watch people sing because they absolutely love the craft. It's a shame when they can't sing though because then they're just delusional.

My friend is asking me about makeup. I really like to play around with colors more so on other people than on myself. I think it's because i just like the overall fresh face look. That and because i'm uber lazy. I was browsing google for ideas and came across this site. There was a featured article titled, "Myspace's Hot Asian Girls." Naturally, i had to see what this was all about. The only problem i have with this article is the font. What the heck?! I was literally 5 inches away from the screen.
Since i was so up close and personal with my monitor, i now have a headache. So this post was basically how pictures of asian girls on myspace is deceiving. The picture might lead you to think that they are hot-stuff, but when you click on their profile you become mighty disappointed because all you see is a plain jane. [read more here] So this person lists 6 observations to help people avoid the trap. He uses asian girls as an example because : The reason this blog title is"Hot" Asian Girls on Myspace, and not specifically pointing at girls of other ethnicities, is because from my experience, most White, Black, or Hispanic girls don't do that. Interesting. Maybe this guy just needs a life. The only place he can get close enough to any type of girl is probably on myspace. Despite this, i think his observations are pretty accurate. It's kind of funny in away but sad. Are asians really that insecure about themselves? My myspace picture commits all of those crimes: obscure angle, sunglasses, the hair. Oh, well. That at least assures me that creeps won't come knockin.

I hope everyone remembered that today is earth day! Happy green living!

This reminds me of sweet, baby Ollie

The return of the GOHP

This is the start of a bad week. I can already imagine it. Why? For all those thinking i already reveal too much, i'm going to do it again. The GOHP is back! I'm on my period and i feel extra cranky. I ran out of tampons and haven't had time to run to the store to buy some. As a result, a catastrophe happened! I'm too over dramatic right now, but bare with me. This is fair warning of what i'm going to talk about, so if it's too much detail...[skip the next full paragraph].

Ahh, what a great way to say "good morning." Nothing is better than waking up to some leakage. Albeit, the mess was small, but it messy nonetheless. Leaks - the bane of my existence. I went to the restroom, cleaned up and readied myself for the new day. I didn't mess up my bed because i slept on top of a towel. Instead of covering my bed with newspaper, as the bf suggested, as just folded a towel. It works great and can easily be washed. Despite all that, i was optimistic! I changed into a pair of dark jeans (smart choice!), my cute pink shirt, and a cardigan. My hair was up and random strands were pinned back away from my face. I was clean and ready. Everything was pleasant until my second class. That particular class is 2 hrs long. So in total, i was sitting in a chair for 3 hrs (including my 9 a.m class). That's not so bad because when it's that time of the month, all i want to do is sit on my bum. After the 2 hrs, i felt something happen. Gross. Leakage came back to play. I rushed home because i could feel the mess. When i reached my room, i cleaned up and then started to wash my undies and jeans. They're drying, as of right now. After that unfortunate event, i changed into a pair of sweat pants and a dark shirt to fit my dreary mood. Unfortunately, my sweat pants are really cute and my dark shirt sports the ever-so-cool Chuck-E-Cheese mouse. I put my hair down in a poor attempt to feel "dark," but that was dismissed by the pink hello kitty hairpin that's keeping up my bangs. Don't be thrown off by my usual "cute" demeanor. I think i would feel better about myself if i could properly shower. I love showers. When you're a GOHP, regular showers are a necessity. I guess the other thing that aggravates me is that i can't workout. I'm getting into the whole workout thing and i'm pretty serious about getting toned/losing weight. It's just a lot harder to achieve consistency when your period is in the way. Moreover, what's weird this time is that, i'm getting minor cramps. I don't get cramps that often, but this time i do. It really sucks. I'm already lethargic enough, i don't need other stuff slowing me down.

I just need to work through this week. I have two papers due wednesday. Why is everything due monday or wednesday, my two most busiest days? Well, that's because i only have classes on those two days plus friday. Remind me never to construct such a stupid schedule. It's a pain in the butt to go to 5 classes on 3 days. What's worse is that they're all back-to-back. What idiot does that? On a brighter note, i found out all my finals are papers. I need to start cracking. Too bad i don't have the prompt. I'm pretty sure i'm not going to ace this semester as i did last semester, but all i know is that i'll try my hardest. I love studying in my room, but there are so many distractions! When i'm sitting at my desk, i smell roses and dark chocolate. That a wonderful combination! The bf gave me a vase of roses and it's sitting next to my monitor and right beside my mouse, i have a bag of choco covered raisins. Those are delish. Speaking of monitor, i really want a laptop now. I've decided that i'm going to study in NY for my spring semester next year. I want a laptop with me so that i don't have to depend on other people. Most importantly, i want to stay connected and blog about my daily events. I don't know if i can convince my parents to help me out on this one because they are already buying me a car. In class, i was daydreaming about me driving around in my little hip, green, mini-cooper named darla. Actually, the name is still yet to be determined, but i thought darla was such a cute name. It reminds me of the little cute girl from "the little rascals!" Vroom. Hopefully, i get the car. I already know my dad is against it, so we'll just have to see what i end up driving this summer.

I was walking to class and heard this girl talking about tattoos. She had one on the back of her neck. It was small, blue, and detailed. The guy pointed at the tattoo and said, "wow, it looks so cute. i'm glad you got a small one because that attracts more attention than the big ones." That was just a sorry excuse to touch her neck. When she answer, i had to gag. Her voice was the high pitched, sugar coated voice that you only hear when girls whine. Her laugh was annoying too. It kind of reminded me a helium-induced, hyena's heckle. I think i'm extra sensitive/mean right now because i'm a GOHP. I know that shouldn't excuse my criticism, but it will have to do. I don't like tattoos. I think it was scared out of my system by my dad when i was young. I used to write stuff on my hands, like homework and thinks i needed to remember. When i came home after school and my dad saw the mess on my hands, he yelled at me. "Do you want a tattoo now? Like one of those gangsters? If you want to be like them, forget about school and start picking up trash in the streets because that's what you're going to become." Intense, right? Who knew you'd fail at life if you get a tattoo. That sort of mentality was ingrained in me, so now i don't like tattoos at all. What do you have to prove when you sport a tat? Is it that you're a "rebel"? Is it that "it's my body, i do what i want" mentality? I watched a show on tv called, LA Ink. When i watched that i had a new appreciation for tats. I guess as long as it's a valid reason, tats are alright. They just have to mean something, have some sort of personal value. Why get a stupid chinese sign like "fire" just because it's your "element." Wait till that feng shui stuff bites you in the butt. Then you'll have to dish out the money to get it removed. Why don't you get something temporary like henna?

At the end of the day, i can honestly say i feel a whole lot better. I need to surround myself with positives. No negativito. So, lets look at cute little websites that i'm throughly intrigued by. First up is the mega cutesy, LittleOddThings with products inspired by the forest. Holy junk, their clutches are so cute! The only problem is that they are really overpriced. I'm not sure if i'd ever pay for anything on that site, but it sure is tempting. I really like the forest inspiration and the color. It's so fun just to look at the products. Next up is a really neat site if you're on the lookout for fresh looking desktops. They are unusual and very refreshing. i was just browsing through their collection of desktops and it makes me want to change mine. Except i like the one i have right now, so i'm probably not going to change anything. It's just something for you to look at if you are bored or need inspiration. It's very simple and clean. I think that site basically goes around looking for unusual desktops. How's that for a dose of website browsing? To stick with the cute theme, here's a video i made. Once again, it's acapella because i can't find the instrumental to the song. In case you are wondering, it's A Fine Frenzy's - Think of You

I can't believe one year has gone by so fast.

Aren't these cute! They are little emoti-buds. You stick them onto your earphones to show what kind of mood you are in. Aww shucks. I like the pink ones!

Sunday's PostSecret

Daddy thinks the clubman is ugly. The bf thinks the clubman is ugly, too. Geez. I can never catch a break. Maybe i should just convince them to get me the regular mini cooper. I don't know anymore. I'm looking at the stuff that i have to do today and i'm hoping i can finish at least half of it. Tomorrow i have housing sign-ups (8.30) and class sign-ups (10). I just finished a paper, so now i'm chilling a bit and visiting some of favorite websites. In particular, i read postsecret every sunday (or at least try to). Today, there was one postcard that i just went "aww" to. That lady is 50 years old and has never been kissed. At first, i automatically thought about the film "never Been Kissed" with Drew Barrymore. Then, i felt really bad for her and wish her the best with her marriage. I showed this to the bf and he said, "it's not that sad...if it's true then i guess it's sad." Postsecret is real. It's an outlet for some people. You basically send your secrets to Frank and he posts it on the site. I wanted to do it, but i don't really have a secret or anything to write about. The bf asked why i would do such a thing. I thought about it and here is what i came up with. It's more of a reassurance. You aren't the only one out there in the world with a secret or an insecurity. More importantly, you aren't alone. Solidarity is very important to survival.

If you are a crazy shoe lover like me, here's a neat little site to look at. Atypical shoes is a site based on, weird looking, neat, crazy, shoes. The only guideline at the site is that the shoes are quirky. I really like at all the different types that people have come up with, past and present. Sometimes i'm confused and think, "how the heck did someone in their right mind come up with this?" You will understand if you take a peek at the site. Yesterday my mom commented on how tight my stomach looks. At least she can see my efforts. I've been lazy, but i've kept up with my regimen. I think the best way to see results is to be consistent. On top of exercising in the morning, i think i might add in-room exercises. I'm going to borrow a couple of dvds from my friend and see how it works. Maybe i can open up a youtube on exercising! Haha. I don't think that will ever happen.

I'm eating grapes right now because i only had a bagel for dinner. No exercising for today! I was watching a segment of Hoan Chau Cat Cat. I was up to this part where this high society girl was letting fate find her a match for marriage. Her dad threw a ball over the balcony and whoever catches it would marry the daughter. I don't think i would ever have the guts to do that. It sort of reminds me of the whole arranged marriage thing. Except in this case, it's really up to god to decide who marry. In the series, the ball lands on this poor kid asking for alms. At least with your parents deciding, they do a thorough background check. You can confidently marry the person knowing that they don't have a record. It would be way crazy if something like a marriage ball toss happen here.

On to news, a woman protected her pet Labrador by biting a put bull terrier on the nose. She first tried to pull the pit bull's jaws away from her lab's throat. Since that didn't work, she ended up biting it on the nose. This is what she had to say: "I broke the skin and had pit bull blood in my mouth. I knew what happened, and I knew that it wasn't good." The injury was concluded as minor, but now she's faced with possible rabies. [source] Some people would do anything for their dogs. I'm very impressed when these type of stories come out. I hope all things turn out ok. While my mom was here, she had good things to say about my dog at home (Chico). She said that he was very disciplined. He knows where to poo and when it's dinner time, he would push his tray to the door, waiting patiently for us to come out. He's just very excited when people are around, so he kind of mulls them. I told my mom that he's a good dog because daddy is mean to him. Since he's scared of my dad, he'll try his best to not do wrong.

Weekend Wrap Up

I feel bad that my last post was so rushed. I started writing it yesterday and finished it today. I left out a lot of things. Basically, it was a poorly made post. Today i woke up feeling luggish. I didn't want sunday to be here because that means i have crazy/busy mondays and wednesdays to look forward to. I started out doing hw. I needed to finish up some reading because i didn't do anything productive this whole weekend. Yesterday i went on a major procrastination fest. I forget which day was this, but my friend and i talked about helping one of our friends look fresher. By fresher, i mean look her age? We talked about possibly fiddling around with makeup and hair. Well, i was supposed to be studying, but i ventured into makeup territory on the internet and was trapped. I initially googled up looks for inspiration and i stumbled across a makeup place called "the she space." The samples are really cheap and there are tons of colors. I don't know how many samples i asked for, but i'm quite excited. I really like colors and playing around with makeup, just not on me so much. That's a tad bit hypocritcal, i know. When i have time, i like messing around with it. I'm looking at different techniques and came across foiling. Which is basically applying makeup on with a wet applicator (sponge tip/brush). I really like how the colors are a lot more vibrant and adhesive. So on my friend, i did a pearl/green look on her. It looked pretty good. She usually veers toward the dark colors, but i'm glad she let me decide what to use. I should've taken a picture of the overall look because it was so nice and drastic. Just a little simple tweaks here and there and you can easily shed a couple of years. The beauty of beauty of products. The only difficulty i have experimenting on others is the eye shape. There are different ways to complement the eye and i haven't wrapped my finger on it quite yet. I like looking at different eye shapes and what different makeup techniques work on them. I remember when i used to play dress up with my mom's makeup. It was so silly, but it was so darned fun. I don't think i'll every take a plunge into the makeup world professionally, but it sure is interesting.

I was on rotten tomatoes most of the day yesterday and mentally added more movies on my must-see list. I can't recall any of them now, but i remember that i was intrigued. Today i watched The Waitress with Keri Russell as the main actress. It's a really charming movie.
There was a sense of predictability. I guessed what happened to the supporting actresses, but i was surprised at the end. I didn't think she would decide the way she did. It was the hard choice, but it was the right choice. The cast was pleasant. I liked the main guy, he was handsome. Keri Russell was...real. During the time span of the movie, you feel what she feels. It's quite heartbreaking. It was a good movie. The ending wasn't expected, but it was a good surprise. Watching it made me want to eat a really good pie. I'm not a big pie fan, but it sure did look yummy. It was so creative looking too. I don't even remember this ever coming out in theaters. Maybe it was in select theaters, but i'm glad my friend recommended it.
One thing i don't like being told is, "you look tired." I'm guilty of saying that, so i shouldn't be saying much but it's upsetting sometimes. I was being lazy today, that's why i wore glasses and didn't put on any makeup. I just don't like be reassured that i look horrible. Sigh. I think i'm going to look into certain face cleansers that brighten my face. I think it sort of looks dark? It's nice that the bf says that i look pretty even on days i know for a fact i don't. This week has been hard. I've been preparing for tests and papers. I have my screen saver set on pictures, so sometimes i sit and wait for 15 min for the slideshow to pop up. It's so nice and it's a fun break from whatever i'm doing. I'm trying to concentrate, but the annoying chirps are getting to me. I really hate crickets. They are disgusting, ugly, and annoying. I have a huge window in my room and the crickets are so loud, i can hear everything with 100% clarity. Dear me, it's awful. I hate it when i see them outside, resting on the sidewalk. I just can't cross the path way because of those darned crickets. Why can't they all be cute and friendly like jimminy (sp?) cricket.

As i'm typing, i'm noticing my hideous nails. I need to get some polish remover and get rid of the chipping polish on my nails. I think i might want to get into that and experiment with different designs. It doesn't seem that hard. You just need the tools and lots of colors. I think i have a general idea how to go about doing this, so i'm kind of excited. I'm not a pro and will probably resort to google a lot, but i don't mind. Part of the fun in doing something new is learning the process. It's sort of like learning a new language. I have a friend that is fluent in French and Spanish. She's officially trilingual now. I'm just amazed because she learned French in high school. I guess some people have a knack for certain things. She's just blessed to pick up languages easily. I'm being a nut-case and youtubing different "[insert country here] idol." In this case, it's Bulgarian Idol.

Was that a shocker? I was kind of confused the first time i watched it. I had to replay and watch it three times to make sure i was hearing the right thing. First of all, i shouldn't even be on youtube. It takes me forever to load things because the school basically rips me off and gives me a steady dial-up connection. Secondly, i should be studying. But this was just so darned funny. I didn't understand a thing she was singing until they showed Mariah Carey singing the song. At first, i had to pause it and think, "Did she really sing a song called Kenn Lee? Boy, she must be getting in touch with the Asian crowd." Poor girl. Idol shows always makes me feel bad for the contestants. Someone just needs to sit them down and give them a major reality check.

Who say's dogs aren't tasty?

Rainy Days are Happy Days

Today is an overall happy day except for a few mishaps, but i'm sure i'll get to that later. I woke up to the clapping of rain. Well, actually i woke up to my little sister saying/yelling, "EWW! Little brother peed in his bed...AGAIN!" That's really nasty. Are boys in general impossible to potty train at such a "young" age? He is in 4th grade. Anyways, it's been raining nonstop all day. It's horrible. I thought i'd have to stay in because my dad said, "don't go anywhere; it's dangerous!" I ignored his request/demand and went to the bf's house to hang out. It was fun. We ate korean food for lunch at samwon garden. It was delish. Afterwards, we went to the mall. I finally got my dark-wash, skinny jeans today. They were at Forever 21. It's so pretty. Then, we got ice cream at coldstone for ice cream. I got the yummy coffee light ice cream with crushed heath bars. I love heath bars.

Now, for the unfortunate mishap. I only think these type of things only happen in movies (and weird people), but life threw a curve ball at me. I'm now one of the weird people. Oh well, there's always a first for everything. So, it was raining really really hard and i was was wearing flip flops because my rain boots are at school. There were humongous puddles, so the bf carried me on his back for a piggy-back ride because i trip really easily. Note to self, not a good idea when you're a GOHP (look at previous entry for acronym definition). Needless to say, my pants were kinda ruined and his jacket was kinda stained. I felt kind of embarrassed and irked that i let this happen (good thing the feeling didn't last more than 15 secs). But the bf made me feel better because he wasn't ragging on me about it. He duly noted that i was kind of happy and giddy in the car, despite the condition i'm in. He said this because i was dancing around in the car and cracking jokes with a wide smile on my face. Anyways, i patched things up at his house. While i was washing the stain out, the bf gave my bball shorts to wear. AH-HA! Another one to add to my budding collection.

One of the craziest things in the world is traffic. I don't really understand this. Well, i understand that it happens, but why. The reasons why people slow down are either reasonable or really stupid. Reasonable traffic is like when there is a huge car accident that occupies 3 out of 4 lanes. You just have to suck it up and drive in that one lane. Stupid would be when theres a huge car accident on the other side of the freeway and the only reason there is a hold up is because people are nosy and want to see the action on the other side of the road. I just understand people. When you slow down, people behind you slow down. And then there are the braker-happy people. They brake for every reason, even if the car in front of them (which is 10 million feet away) is braking. What the heck. I understand the whole personal bubble concept, but that's just a little too much. The two things i don't like about Texas is the unpredictable weather and traffic. The times to avoid the road (in general): 9 o'clock morning rushing hour and 5 o'clock evening traffic.

On another note, a girl is sportin' the same sunglasses as me! The bf told me about her and i looked really closely at one of her pics and it seems very identical. I bought (well, the bf bought) those off ebay! Ebay needs to be a little more "one-of-a-kind." The only difference is that her shades are purple and mine are pink. Good thing i'm prettier! Now, isn't that shallow for you (har har). I'm actually just honestly accessing her physical features seen off of pics (since i've never met the girl). i think she's asian, but she has very "black" people features. She has a very distinct, prominent lip and her eyes are kind of droopy. On top of that, her hair has weird funky purple things in it. It looks like someone dropped paint in her hair and she was too lazy to wash it off. I'm beign quite mean. That's why i never say anything when people ask me what i thought of them the first time i met them - the whole, first impressions thing.

Now, the bf was given the task of looking up brilliant news, instead of the cute pic of the day. I really like the site he showed me. It's called fwdemails.com and it's really neat-o. I particularly like this post on cool inventions. It made me chuckle reading about the different inventions. Another really neat website to waste time on is thecutereport.com because it's pure cuteness. I liked looking at the cute animal posts. If you want to smile a little bit more, make sure to check out hellishhumor, especially this post. Isn't is so darned cute?

What is that and why is it, dare you ask, floating?

It's a bed! Can you believe it? I didn't until i read it. It's an air mattress that was invented by dutch deisgner, Janjaap Ruijssenaars. It's hovering 16 inches above the floor. Its secret is a matching set of repelling magnets, built into the bed and the floor below, that's powerful enough to support almost 2,000 lbs. [read more here] This is possibly one of the coolest inventions. The only thing is that it costs 1.5 mil. You have to admit, it's really easy to clean and you can never clutter stuff underneath the bed. This was introduced in '06, it's now '08. I'm telling you, we'll be living in space in no time. I'm already imaging The Jetsons in the near future.

Asian Families. Permanent furrowed brows. You can't live with them and you can't live without them. They are just so intense. I'm always stressed whenever i'm home. They tell you to do something and then when you're doing it, they decide that you are doing it the wrong way. But, you couldn't be doing it the wrong way because you've been doing it for years. Incompetence. You never do anything right because that means they would be wrong. And the parents can never be wrong, oh no. It's not just that. Once you're living under their house again, you abide by their rules. It sucks. At school, you have your freedom and it's just too hard to revert back to the old ways. That means asking permission to go out, sneaking around, coming home before dark - awful, just awful. This wouldn't be so bad if they didn't depend on me so much. When i'm home, it's like all the responsibility shifts to me. What's the deal? Do they plan it that way? Of course they do! They even told me. One time they waited for me to come home to help the little brother do his project. He had a month to do it and they waited the weekend before it was due to tell me to help the nugget. I ended up doing his project! It was also enforced by my parents. Why? Because "little brother needs his precious sleep; he has school tomorrow." If he did his homework on time, he/we wouldn't have this problem. Sigh. All this wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't the time of the month. That and i hit my head on the car door - now i'm battling a major headache.

I was looking through different sites and i came across this one with Sarah Larson. Who is this chick and why is she famous. According to wiki, Sarah Larson is a former part-time model and cocktail waitress in Las Vegas's Palms Casino Resort. She was also a contestant on Fear Factor where she won an episode of season five, partnered with her then-bf. Her biggest claim to fame is that she is currently George Cloone's gf. Clooney and Larson first became public as they attended the '08 Academy Awards. Who is this girl that has captured George's heart?
For a self declared life bachelor, i really thought he would've chosen a breathtakingly beautiful goddess. Can you believe she dethroned his bachelorhood? I think the best thing about her, as far as i can see, is that her thighs don't touch..and i guess her shoulders are nice. That is saying something in itself. I remember seeing her on tv at the oscar's. She was practically shadowing George. She was wearing a not so pretty dress that did nothing for her body or complexion. Who the heck dressed her because that person's taste is definitely questionable. I like her height and her slimness. I thin she's flatter than me. That's quite a feat since i have the smallest boobs in the family. She barely has boobs, more like mosquito bites. I think i remember seeing her on Fear Factor because when it was still airing, i watched it religiously. It was amusing that stupid people would do stupid things (like eat uncooked cow penis) for a chance at 50k. It's not even a guaranteed 50k, it's a chance. You might eat nasty things in vain. That's just stupid. Even more stupid, i thought, were people who were harnessed up but still afraid of plummeting to their death. You are wired! You aren't going anywhere even if you tried.

If you are having a lazy afternoon, i invite you to read PostSecret. It's pretty popular and i wouldn't be surprised if you already know what it is. The amazing thing is, you're really not alone. Sometimes your perception of the world is as far as you can see it. You forget how big the world is and how many people occupy the space. It's a great pick-me-upper.

Cuteoverload is also one of the best pick me uppers. The cuteness will make you nose bleed.

Crazy and Clean

Awkwardly intense people are just a bit too much for me to handle. Add in a little "know-it-all" arrogance and it's over for me. People are just crazy. It's weird how some people talk. There are some with a nice, soothing voice. It's a voice that i can listen to all day and more. There are some with a loud, obnoxiousness to it that you just wish they kept their mouth shut all day. It's so weird to talk and shout at the same time. I was talking to a person yesterday that was shouting/talking to me. Can you please use your indoor voice? Have you learned nothing from kindergarten? At least i learned that. Anyways, that's what i notice. People in general are crazy. I also learned a new word: hortatory - urging to some course of action; encouraging. Now, everyone must use it! It's pronounced just as it's spelled. I remembered when i was memorizing this monologue/play i had to learn eleemosynary. I thought (and still think) it's one of the coolest words out there. That play was weird and i can't believe i even attempted to memorize it. It's a one-act play that follows the relationship between three generations of women.

Don't you hate it when you walk out of taking a test realize that you royally screwed yourself? I sort of feel like that. I don't know what i was thinking. Well, i think i might be a tad over dramatic, but i kind of wish i sat there and thought a little bit more. I knew Burke's reading on Terministic Screes, yet i didn't write about the topic. Why do i always blank at the last minutes. BIG SIGH! I was walking on the sidewalk and there was this lady with 3 wiener dogs. The first two were kinda ugly: long and uber skinny. The third one, however, was too cute for words!! It was white and light brown. The little thing was pudgey and just a baby! I'm not a big fan of those type of dogs, but that one was really, truly cute. I don't know what's up with the animal pics today. Seeing those little dogs reminded me of Ollie. I miss that little sucker ball.

I went to Hayashi today for lunch. I was craving soup, so i got Tempura Udon. It's so yummy. I love udon. I think i can just eat the noodles by itself. Afterwards, i went shopping around wolfe ranch. Since it's smaller than usual shopping centers, it was easy to go through. I went to Old Navy and bought me a pair of shorts! Now, i usually buy things even if they aren't my size and try to make it pass for my size. Obviously, something is wrong if your shorts are a tug away from dropping. For some reason when i shop, i only find sizes 3 and up. I'm not a 3, but i buy 3's anyways. Thats not a good idea. Anyways, i found a nice pair of shorts that are just cutesy. [sneak a peek]
They are cuter in person. The best part about the shorts? They fit me nicely. I also like the dark wash color. I'm ready for summer/spring! Today, it's a sweltering 94 degrees. What the heck?! What happened to spring? I hate it when Texas decides to skip seasons. Although the weather isn't to my liking, i'm happy! It's spring break! I've waited for this for so long! I did my spring cleaning today! I'm so excited. My room looks brilliant and happy...like me!! It took me a long time to pick up all my crap. I started sweeping and then i vacuumed the whole place down. The vacuum i used was so strong that it started to pick out some of my carpet. That was mildly intense. The internet was down for about 6 hours, from 12-6, so i couldn't jump on and update to waste my time. Since i didn't have anything to do, i started taking pictures of my room.
Now, to the virgin eye, one might think this desk is a cluttered mess! Oh, how you are wrong. I bought that fab desk from ikea. I love studying in my room. I used to not be able to, but now i'm ok with it. I might get distracted, but i don't care. I still get my stuff done.
I even made my bed!! Don't you love my two babies on my bed? I don't know why my folded comforter is kind of crumpled, but i like it. The walls are a bit bare. That's not my fault. I love decorating and the stupid walls just wouldn't hold anything i put on it. I was kind of upset for awhile, but quickly got over it. The walls are nice, not cluttered. If you are wondering, that red thing in the middle is a chinese zodiac thing. My dad took me out to eat and he stole me that thing and told me to keep it. So now, it's up on my wall.
I'm proudest of this. Sorry for the random things sticking out of my drawers. Apparently i didn't do too well cleaning that part. Anyways, i organized my makeup desk. Everything is nice, clean and tidy! Yay, now i know where everything is! I'm going home for spring break and spending time with the family and bf. I need a break from school. After awhile you don't have the energy to do anything at all. You just aren't motivated to do well and you settle for mediocre. I hate mediocreness. I am a very average person. I don't think i excel in anything, i just try really really hard. I've been using honey on my nose for awhile and it looks pretty good. If i see any drastic changes, i'll report the news. I'm not quite sure tho, so we shall see.

If you get bored often and want to surf the net but are out of ideas or places to serf, here is a suggestion. I found this sites while i was bored and procrastinating. I hope you have fun reading this as mush as i do! The site is called Photoshop Disasters. This makes me laugh. I never paid much attention to detail, but now i think i should. It's amazing what people will see if they just quietly observe.
This was published! Can you believe that? It's such a humungo dungo mistake. The thing is, would you have noticed if someone didn't already point it out? It's sort of like optical illusions. This project is fairly new, so i don't know how long it will run. I like the concept though. It's very original. If this site keeps up with the updates, then i'm pretty sure it'll become a hit in no time.

I'm listening to music as i'm writing this entry. The bad thing about listening to music is that your hearing is endangered. Why do i say this? While i was in class Weds, we were doing a couple of experiments testing the peoples audible range. Apparently, i'm lacking. I couldn't hear a lot of the higher pitches. I remember when i was little i was afraid of becoming deaf. I always imagined myself hearing random "ringings," similar to beethoven's case. That's scary as heck. Right now, i think i hear better in my left ear than in my right. Isn't that weird?

My room is exceptionally cold today. When i'm typing, i think all the blood is drained from my fingers because they are tilted upward. By the time i'm done, i'll usually have purple-ish, blue-ish hands. My palms turn color. I thought that was weird until i realized the trend. I'm a typing fiend. A lot of my friends say i sound like a machine gun. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Today's weather is just perfect for swimming and beaching. Is it time to look for another swim suit? Hmm.

It's like eating little men! Yum! And they are kind of heart shaped. Cutesy.
