paint...

We painted Sunset Extension! It is VERY colorful now. Why must I be such a messy person? The red paint got all over my jeans even though I covered them. I tried to cover them, but it didn't really work out that well. I did make quite a nice garbage bag dress though if i say so myself.
Present from my parents? Thanks to Mom and Dad...

Ugh... STUDY STUDY!!!

Oh man... APO requirements are due in 15 days, and there's still a bunch of stuff to be done. I'm feeling VERY unsure of myself right now. The G-RO pledge class has to get a move on it too!!!!

fast...

Ahhh!! everything has been going by so quickly! The pledging process is almost over; I can't believe we only have about a 3 weeks left. :P I still need to finish some requirements! The semester is half over too, which is kind of bad with the way my grades are going right now. I need to pull it together and get those shiny A's and B's. :)

My Big is awesome! She made me this at Color Me Mine. I love it! It's so cute!

Spring Break went by fairly quickly, which sucks because I hate school!!!

It was sucks how we had class on Monday, but at least we got Tuesday off for Caesar Chavez Day. Yay for me since it was Ben's and my 3 Year Anniversary! I can't believe it's already been three years... time certainly flies. We
didn't really do too much since he had to do homework during the day and I had to work on interviews with the G-Ro pledge class. We did as much as we could though, which was still good. He got me 30 roses (one pink and the rest red), but it was supposed to be 31 for the 31st day; the flower guy forgot to put it in. It's quite alright though since I had a hard time putting them in a vase. Haha, I love roses, but I had already predicted them; well, not that many though. We had delicious sushi and an unagi bowl at Fune Ya on Clement. For dinner, we went to Palamino, where we had huge lobster ravioli. Those things were about the size of my face. Then we went back to his house because he bought an ice cream cake from Coldstone that had Heath bars and Devils Food Cake. It sure was delicious. :)

I didn't have class on Wednesday either because my teacher had canceled due to illness. The thing that sucks is that our test is still schedule
d for Monday. Crap... I still have so much reading to do. Ugh. The only good thing is that my group actually started to get some work done for our project. Whoohoo for progress.

I saw Monsters vs. Aliens today, and I liked how there weren't that many people in the theater, so I was able to put my feet up and everything. When we first walked in, the theater was completely empty, so it felt weird being the only people there.

I really don't want to think about midterms, but of course I can't help it.

Chocolate makes me happy. :) Cake and ice cream = bliss.

I need to think of a talent to do for the pledge auction!!! Why must I be so untalented? :P

reading...

Omg... I'm trying to read for PR, but it's so boring. :( I keep getting distracted too. Ugh... this sucks. 7AM volunteering at CLIMB California. I have never said the word "whooooo!" so many times as I have today... 2 hours of that to cheer on the climbers. They basically started from the first floor and climbed the stairs all the way to the 52nd. I overheard someone saying that the first guy got there in 7 min. HOW THE HECK DID HE DO THAT?? What's the secret? I think that's pretty insane

Carnelian Room has the prettiest views of the city. It's like a 360 view, kind of. Gorgeous!

"...Baby One More Time" --> currently playing. It brings me back to 5th grade.

I'm not ready to go back to school.

Quote of the Day:
Dad: "Maybe they used green dye" (referring to the "spinach-flavored" dumplings")
Kory (cousin): "What's that mean? Meen dai?"

Everyone: "Green DYE". (giving weird looks)
Kory: "Oh, I thought it was some Chinese word and I was like,'I don't know what that is'."
haha... those Berkeley kids...

Finally got some pictures! :)

friday...

Here I am at home on a very sunny Friday blogging... Yesterday was fun. :) I went to Santa Ramen in San Mateo with Ben because last time it was closed when we tried to go. It was not as good as I expected it to be. I added some of Ben's fried garlic flakes, which was an overkill and made it super salty. Then we stopped by Color Me Mine to pick up some stuff that I made last week with some APhiO girls. Afterwards, we headed to Sausalito for some scenic views and then went down to Rodeo Beach in the Marin Headlands. It's hard to imagine that these mountainous and super quiet places exist like 15 min. out of the city. Later on, we watched "I Love You, Man", which was pretty funny, but I don't think these people should have taken these little kids with them.

My parents are home, which is good, but my freedom is gone now!

Volunteering at 7AM tomorrow. :( Waking up that early on a Saturday should be illegal.

waste...

What a waste. It's Spring Break and I'm at home. American Idol isn't even on to pass time! I'm sitting here trying to find things to occupy time so that I don't have to read for PR and Management. :P

accepted...

PRAISE THE LORD!!! I got into the ADM program. I'm soooo thankful because I remember what it was like getting rejected. These things rarely happen to me, so I'm so shocked that I got in! I totally screamed when I got the email. :)

BIG/LIL APPRECIATION WEEK was fun! I loved exchanging presents and spoiling my big. :) ROYAL DELTA LINE! We had Twin
Night tonight to celebrate the week, and it was fun hanging out with everyone. It's finally Spring Break, so everyone can start relaxing!!

G-RO tell me when to go! Love em! :)


I'm so happy that it's Spring Break!!! No stupid Malbert for a whole week and extra day! Oh gosh, I've never hated a professor so much before. He sooo makes Jing Liu seem like a beautiful gem. AIYYY.

I wonder what I will get to do this week. My parents are coming home soon, so no more freedom... hmm... I like having the house to myself even if my brother is there, or at least having it quieter without the parents.

money...

OMG... after March, I'm going to be SO broke; it's not even funny. :/ This week is Big/Lil Appreciation Week, so Anna and I went around different stores looking for stuff for our bigs. I also had to buy Ben's birthday present today, which added to the cost. Then I was planning on treating Ben to dinner for his birthday at Houston's. If I didn't feel poor before, I certainly do now. AHHHH. I'm not really getting any hours to work and even if I did have hours, I wouldn't really have much time because there's so much to do.
Right now APO is keeping me happy and busy. I like meeting all these new people and trying new things. I love my G-Ro pledge class, Royal Line, and Paper Family! I just wish I had more money to keep up!


Anna and I totally went everywhere. We went from Serramonte to the Korean market, Ross, and Sunset Super. My total at Ross almost made me cry...



Haha.I am totally loving this parental-free thing. I have been more relaxed having no one nagging me or popping in randomly. I just don't know why parents and grandparents keep telling me to close and lock the door. You'd think it was common sense.
