beach...

Today was Becca's last day before she went back, so we just hung out. We had lunch with Eric and Kelton at Pasquale's. As Becca would say... DELICIOUS! Then we went to China Beach for her to film some surfers. Good thing it was a nice day today, so it wasn't super freezing cold.
I went to a family dinner at first to celebrate my aunt & uncle's 25th anniversary. It was a surprise, so that caused some laughs since my cousins weren't too brilliant about setting it up. They needed a lot of help since they were so reluctant. It wasn't much of a surprise though since we only go to the Lakeside Cafe for special events, especially anniversaries and big birthdays.

This week went by SO quickly. Ugh. That means there's school on Monday. Nooooo!!! I haven't really started on my projects yet either.

I love seeing the Golden Gate Bridge at night, but hearing the giant ocean waves freaks me out.

whew...

This is monumental... for the first time, I got a 10/10 on the first attempt for marketing! I never get that; I usually have to do at least five attempts. Once I was up to 13? So sad. Man, the marketing final is coming up, and it's worth 50% of my grade. I don't know how I'm going to study for that. I am kind of screwed... eek.

My Thanksgiving was pretty good. I had dinner at my cousin ,Andrew's, house. For the first time ever, EVERYONE was there. Seriously. All my cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents were there. I got to "meet" Peyton for the first time, and she is seriously sooo adorable. She is more than "Gosselin" worthy. She is such a sweet little girl and kept wanting me to read "Dora's Halloween Adventure" book. She was a little shy at first, but eventually she warmed up to everyone and gave everyone lots of hugs. She had quite an appetite. Her older sister, Brianna, was just as cute but a little shyer. They are such cuties. :) I'd be so up for a play date. Haha.

Dang, my cousin, Bruce (Lee), is only in 6th grade and 11 years old, but he's already taller than most of us. I think he's almost the tallest cousin, being 5'7. That's insane. When he first walked in, we were like,"Wow, he grew hecka fast, and it's just the beginning."

We had our usual "Thanksgiving Mix" with random food. Those were some good lumpias. *Drool* I think I over ate or something, but I was so full that I couldn't finish my pie. :( I was falling into a food coma and just sitting on the couch. Ahh. The adults talked until 1:30am. Ugh. I heard some guitar playing and singing. O.O. My brother, cousins, and I just watched TV. Hah, "The Conan O'Brien Show" is pretty hilarious.

I got to see BECCA MA! =) We just chilled and watched the "Jon and Kate Plus 8" marathon. Good stuff. Then Anna joined us and we went to Starbucks for some coffee since it was so cold.

thanksgiving...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I am currently suffering from a food coma... "... loosen up my buttons babe (uh huh) ..."

nothing...

Man, I haven't done any school work this week. Oops. I should get started on some presentations and my paper.

Nerdy much?

Ugh... my parents woke me up again around 8 or 9 in the morning from talking so loudly. I think my dad was on the phone talking to my aunt or whatever. They always say that I'm too loud, but who's always waking who.

I really need to get out of this city or at least out of this house... away from the parents. That'd be the main reason why I'd transfer. They're always making excuses for me not to do anything, especially my mom. She was even trying to make an excuse for my brother not to make spam misubi. At first, they told me to catch a ride home with my aunt because they would be at church. I asked why we couldn't just drive two cars to make it easier. Then they were saying how there'd be no parking or whatever. I just said that they always try to find an excuse. Then my dad got all defensive asking if I even knew what "excuse" meant. He's like, "So what does it mean then? What's the difference between an 'excuse' and a 'fact'?" Like I'm stupid?

I saw an adviser today, and she was absolutely useless. Grr...

I went downtown with Angelica, and I forced myself to just get into Forever 21 for the jacket and get out. It's so weird because I keep setting off the detectors. It's really annoying because I have no reason why.
I found this pair of boots at DSW, but I'm not sure if I should keep them or not. I mostly likely will, but I"m wondering if I should just wait for other ones. They were on sale for $31 compared to $50. They fit pretty well, and I can walk in them, so that's a plus.

What to wear tomorrow???

scheduling...

Scheduling for classes is so hard, especially when they're at weird times, conflicting, or bad professors.

Taylor Swift - Fearless. Becca recommended it to me, so I downloaded it and was pleasantly surprised. It didn't sound like a country album at all, which is a good thing.

Lady GaGa - The Fame. It's got some catchy songs. There are some songs that sound like I've heard them before, but overall, it's not a bad album.

Anna, Sharon, Ben, and I went up to Davis for some sushi at Fuji. It was quite delicious, like usual. :) I brought a container for extras, which was a good idea since we had extras, and I was able to eat it for a snack; well, I shared with Ben. Then we visited Sean at his house and chilled there for a little bit. Since he had to go to class, we visited Annie afterwards. She has a doggy in the house, so it was running around and chewing its toys.

These dresses have some charm to them.

Right: Zanna Lace Dress: $27.80

people...

Yea, I don't like people... that and group projects.

Retail therapy. Tell me about it.

HAH! I remember/found it from my deadAIM logs.
xxmostangelic1xx : in sunday school, we were trying to sing that song "it's my party and i'll cry if i want to"
xxmostangelic1xx: then david comes out with ... "i don't mind spending everyday..." --> she will be loved

sleep...

I hate those nights where I can't fall asleep. I was tossing and turning until maybe 4am today, but at least I didn't really feel it when I woke up around 8.

Oh my gosh, Miley Cyrus is everywhere. Her "Best of Both Worlds" concert is on the Disney Channel right now, and right when it premiered at 8, she was performing at the American Music Awards. I liked her more before I saw her face everywhere from merchandise to TV. Where there's Miley, the Jonas Brothers aren't too far behind. They just won the T-Mobile Breakthrough Artist Award. I don't understand that. o.O

More stupid antics from David at Sunday school. All those distractions lead us to at least 12 or sometimes past that. "You is a little chicken."

Anna, Grace, and I went to San Dung for lunch, and it was quite delicious. =)

I chickened out for getting a haircut, so Anna just got a trim by herself.

I went with Grace to unlock her Blackberry, but there were so many people at the phone store. These families were there for at least a half an hour, where the kids were asking questions or whatever. A white couple came in with their baby, and their baby barfed on the floor. Grace had to tell the dad, and they were just laughing. Then the dad just used his shoe to blend it into the carpet. Grossssss.

Anna and I went to Express at Stonestown at first. I found this cute black top, which could pass as a dress too, and it has pockets. I saw a bad pink version of it, and it said $14.99, but the black one didn't have the sale tag, so when I went to go pay, the employee said that it was $9.99. Whoo! Even better. I love it when that happens. I got that gut/hope feeling when I picked it up and didn't see the sale price. Anyways, yea, I had $7 on a gift card, so once I used it, the difference was $1.63.

pretty houses...

Ben and I drove around different neighborhoods in San Francisco today, and they were mostly the "rich" neighborhoods. Ah, I was drooling over those big pretty houses. Some of those were just HUGE.

Originally it was sunny today, but then all the fog rolled in. Scary. I couldn't even see the separation between sky and ocean.

When we were driving back home, I looked out the window and saw Erick driving with Ryan, Donald, and Sherry. What a coincidence.

I mostly spent my night watching "Ugly Betty", and like usual, I enjoyed my marathon. :) I must get the season 2 DVD, but it's so expensive!!!

I hate group projects these days because some people can never meet or do their share of the work. I have to work with TWO different groups for two different classes, and not everyone is very helpful. I'm perfectly find with doing individual projects even though they may require more work. At least I can just rely on myself.

week off...

Oh thank goodness... the time has actually come for a whole week off. It is much needed to just relax and to hang out with friends.

Sharon and I went to watch "Four Christmases" on Thursday for the free screening. It was actually pretty funny and better than I thought it'd be. Some ladies got kicked out for using their phones during the movie or something. I thought they'd argue with the security, but thankfully they didn't; otherwise, it would have been sooo disrupting. They just had to be in our row, so we had to move our feet and stuff too. We had pretty good seats for being pretty far back in line.

The San Francisco Centre is all decorated already and everything like all the other malls. The dome is so pretty and it has the snowflakes hanging off.

Today was pretty fun; Angelica, Sharon, and I met up after my stupid statistics test and just ate lunch and hung out at my house. We watched "Baby Mama", which was funny. Originally, I didn't want to watch it when it first came out, but I actually liked it. Later on, Anna came to join us and we just watched TV and talked.

Angelica, Anna, Sharon, and I went to eat at Naan and Curry today with a classmate and his girlfriend and girlfriend's friend, who Anna and Sharon knew from middle school or something. It turns out that the classmate went to my church when we were still at Washington, and he somehow knew Grace. Also, Pastor Holt baptized him. It really is such a small world.

Congratulations to my cousin, Olivia, for passing her bar exam! :)

sigh...

I saw the Backstreet Boys on TRL's finale show, and the memories just came back. I remember watching the music video for "I Want It That Way" in Hong Kong on MTV. Oh how I miss the boy band days!! Good times. :)

I helped Jennifer and Auntie Agnes buy their COACH stuff, so I took the wristlet for Jennifer to class, and I forgot about it and left until I crossed the street. I was like,"CRAAAAP!!" Then I had to run back to the classroom; thank goodness it was only in the business building, nearish to 19th Ave., and this dude in the class found it and gave it to the professor. I would've been screeeeewed if I lost that thing!

I'm sad about the results of ANTM. This is probably one of the first times I've actually been disappointed. I'm not sure if Becca has seen it yet, so I won't really say anything.

fog...

Stupid weather... it was supposed to be sunny today, but it ended up being foggy and cold. Ben and I were supposed to go pedal boating, but it was too cold, so we couldn't. We played Scrabble though, and I could've beat him by 1 point if I hadn't helped him finish off his letters. I had to subtract 7 from mine and add it to his.

I love the new purses at COACH. Too bad I can't afford any of them right now.

2 MORE DAYS OF CLASS!! =D

I really have to start my presentations and paper! I have to snap out of this procrastination phase.

Why is school such a pain? That is the universal question.
Aww no new episodes of 90210 until January. Two weeks till the next Gossip Girl episode. ANTM finale tomorrow!! I'm rooting for Analeigh! AH, that show is SO addictive. I love it!

Oh yea, that "girl", Isis, was on the Tyra Show, and she was talking about her journey of being transgender. Then Tyra brought out this gender-replacement surgeon who's supposed to be the "best", and the twist was that that surgeon was a transgender too, so he's a woman now. Trippy.

I'm excited for Christmas because I just love it! People also tend to be in a better mood. :)

I have the weirdest dreams about my teeth. They're mostly about my retainers - Ben said I should stop wearing them because of that. I always dream that I'm wearing like a bunch of retainers, so they feel so uncomfortable. It gets to a point where the bottom one starts to move around my mouth. The other night, in my dream, I had like 20 retainers in my mouth, and I took each out, one by one and put them into my COACH scarf for some reason. I hope I don't choke from them some night. I also had another dream where I had a severe underbite. Weird.

one more week...

ONE MORE WEEK TILL THANKSGIVING BREAK!!!

TO DO:
- work on HM 351 & HM 421 group presentations
- IBUS quiz
- HM 421 10-page paper

Man, I really want a car. That sad thing is that I got my license in 2005, and I can count the number of times I've been on the freeway. My parents always try to find an excuse of me nothing needing to drive. They expect me to catch rides with everyone all the time. I'm 20, not 12. It seems like I'm the only one not mobile. SO frustrating. I need to be on my own for sure. What was I thinking staying in SF for college?

Interesting... "'Meh': Apathetic Expression Enters Dictionary"

Turkey Carving

The Gosselin Family (Jon & Kate Plus 8) have their own website, where they also include devotions. Matt 7:12 Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

They're so cute.

bowling extravaganza....

Anna and I went bowling with our co-workers from COACH, and it was actually pretty fun. Everyone was in a relatively good mood, so we just had a good time. It was the first time where we all actually hung out. I actually didn't suck when bowling. Whooo! Everyone was taking pictures, so I hope I can actually see them. Haha

There was the Peace Fellowship Thanksgiving Potluck yesterday, and we had SOOOOOOO much extra food. It was crazy. There was a lot of yummy food!! I didn't expect so many people to show up.

There's only one more week till ONE WEEK OFF FOR THANKSGIVING!!!!!! YAY! I can't wait.

the fake carving of the turkey

sing-along...

FOR BECCA:
ENJOY :)

heartless...

Kanye West - Heartless

Ben and I went to Fort Point and watched the waves crash against the rocks. I saw a tiny little crab crawling on the rocks, and it was kind of cool. One crab was missing one of his claws, so he was just eating with that one.

It's almost Thanksgiving! I can't wait to eat and celebrate! Woot woo! One week of no school!!! ^.^

I thought I was going to do well on my stats test, but apparently I did worse than ever. It sucks. Ugh.

The panna cotta with strawberries that Jennifer made for the dessert sampler was quite yummy. :)

"BOWLING EXTRAVAGANZA" for COACH employees on Sunday. Haha. It shall be interesting.

I'm hungry... I'd eat something if it wasn't 12AM.

If you want a place to find episodes of shows, check out Fanpop

the pain...

Yes, my legs and feet hurt from dancing at the DSP's Rose Dance. It was fun, I guess, but it could've been better. It started off really slow since not a lot of people were there, but once people started showing up and actually danced, it picked up. We missed the last MUNI underground, so we were kind of stranded downtown, and there were so many scary people. Ugh. Creeps. I called Ben, and he picked us up, saving us from all the weirdos of SF.

Speaking of weirdos...
Yes, that's my dad with the colorful hair... he was enjoying that costume a little too much. He had the glasses, nose, bow-tie too. Robby was supposed to be the designated clown, but somehow my dad found the other stuff.

The Carnival Extravaganza was okay, but it would have been better if it hadn't rained. The karaoke contest was good even though most of the songs were in Chinese. There was a velcro wall, which was pretty cool, but since it had rained, there were little puddles in the crevices, so it was so gross. My feet got so wet... it's harder than it looks to actually jump up and get in a cool position.


My boots came pretty quickly, about 2 days after I ordered them. I liked how the shoe box came in a box, and it was wrapped with tissue paper. Yay for getting packages in the mail! ^.^

hair...

perm or haircut? decisions decisions.

My new Winamp skin. :)
Note: That's not my music playlist; it's the sample image from the website.

Yea, I am hating writing this essay. Boooooo...

Nooo!! Statistics quiz tomorrow. =( Wish me luck!

essays...

It's so hard starting off an essay because all the ideas are not quite there yet. I thought I had the 2nd part all done for my Asian Food & Culture class, BUT one of my group members decided to fib a little something, so I had to add it in and edit a few things.

A picture of my cousins on Halloween from my aunt. I don't know about that Hannah Montana costume, but the Peyton's bumblebee one is quite adorable.

I found a pair of boots on DSW.com, where it was cheaper than the other sites since the original price was $70. I found it for $49.95, but I was able to use a few coupons, so instead of paying $53 plus shipping, I got it for $43 with free shipping. If they don't work out, I can return it at the store. The only thing is that I wish they weren't suede because I want to be able to wear them in the rain, which was the main reason for me the boot search.

I think Prop 8 passed, but it seems that it's not completely certain yet??

History has been made for sure .

- Ne-Yo: Single
- Lady Gaga: Poker Face
- The Pussycat Dolls: Hush Hush

- On "My Wife and Kids":
Michael: That is what you call a gold digger.
Junior.: Hah! Claire doing manual labor?

about Junior's SAT scores...
Jay: He didn't get a 1600, he got a 200.
Michael: Wow, you get 200 points for getting your name right.
Jay: Actually, it's 300 points, he spelled Junior wrong.

about genes...
Michael: Your mother's right, you do have her genes.
Junior: No wonder these jeans are a little tight.
Michael: Not those jeans, DNA genes.
Junior: I don't have DNA, I have DKNY.

election day...

So, I was planning on voting. BUT yesterday, I found out my voting registration form didn't go through, so I was not able to vote. Well, let's hope that everything works out for the best for the country, state, and city. Everything is getting so corrupt that people can't tell what's right and what's wrong now. It's sad. It's scary to think about since in Sunday School we've been studying Revelations. We've been discussing how the end of the world will come when the world is filled with chaos and corruption.

ANYWAYS, I got to get a move on my papers, but I'm waiting to get information from my group members.

Yay for webcams! Such fun. :)

I am craving for something sweet and fudgey... mmm... chocolate...

I have a pain in my neck. I rubbed it and got a massage, and man, did it hurt.

one step at a time...

I don't know why I procrastinate... I know it comes back to haunt me, but I still do it. WHY???

Halloween wasn't too eventful, just hung out with people. Anna, Tiffo, Sherry, Eric, and I rented "Prom Night" and watched it at Extension with all the lights off, which wasn't really too smart since Tiffo was really freaked out and made me jumpy too.

Something hilarious. Apparently, "they put the 'hip' in worship"! Hehehe. We saw it at Blockbuster when we were looking for movies. Then my brother showed me the trailer yesterday. I guess that's ONE way of "reaching out" to the youths.

So Election Day is coming up, and I have don't really know what's going on, so I need to remember to print out those ballot worksheets to take with me. Dang politics...
