I can't wait to give my sister her gifts and see my mom's delighed expression when she gets her brand new watch! (especially since she's been using the same lousy one for ten years now...no kidding!)


so anyway...just to update the few of you who do read this, the past week has been pretty fun! (besides work, that is)...and i even got a merry christmas call today from someone unexpected who i haven't talked to in awhile...merry christmas Josephine, and thank you for calling! you're such a sweetie~ =) but yes...on saturday we went to cheesecake factory for my birthday and i got the most fantabulous bday present ever! this soft, sleek leather jacket from guess...*sigh* i'm so happy! =) thanks annie, angela, and erika! =) and thank you eliza and emili for the soft scarf & mittens...i love them! k then on sunday we saw the whole world at life plaza...and i even got to see wilma for awhile! me will and annie caught up on the fob times (or rather he enlightened us..hehe) at tea station and then met ang, erk, helen, candice, jenn and ANGIE (who i haven't seen in like two years! *gasp*) at life! ok i'm just babbling on right now because I'm kind of hyper from the krispy kreme doughnut i just ate and the see's chocolate...holiday pounds, here i come!!!!hahaha but yes...if anyone wants to go see lotr again don't hesitate to call me up. =) i think imma watch it with my (unwilling) sister tomorrow and then again with angela and eliza probably since they're my two lotr freak buddies! ok i gotta go now so i'll write more later...a heartfelt thanks and hug to everyone who made my bday on saturday so special (even those who were only there in spirit...i miss you guys! =( ...but i am now 20 years old! it's so sad...some lady at my dad's place was like, "oh, so you're twenty now, eh? that's too bad...eighteen and nineteen are the best years and then it's all downhill from there.." but that can't be true, right?

Wednesday, December 18, 2002

They wiped the drool off your face when you were too incompetent to do it yourself, they read you bedtime stories and tucked you in at night, they piled vegetables onto your plate and knew when you hid them inside your napkin, they stayed up till three am to make sure you got home safely...they did everything that only parents would do. That's why it's strange, but fascinating, I guess, to come to work with my dad and see him in such a completely different light. I've always admired my father because of what a great Dad he is- he's never ceased to provide that unconditional love and support that I've needed while growing up, but now I admire him for his intellect and his finesse as well. Finesse, you ask? Yes, I know, it's quite a strange word, but I can't seem to find any other word to describe what I mean except that one. What I mean is, I see him almost transform into a completely different person at the workplace- he's someone who can take charge while maintaining a joking and friendly demeanor, someone who can talk on the phone with clients with a magical touch but still get business done, someone who can give orders like rapid gunfire but make it sound like marmalade rolling off his tongue. In other words, my dad is someone Else at the workplace...i see a side of him that i've never seen before at home, and I admire that he's done so much in his career. I only aspire that one day I will be as accomplished and as certain of my role both in family and career life. (Of course, at the rate i'm going, that just might not happen...hehe)

So yes. that's my tribute for today...I just thought that I'd spend my last hour here at work blogging because I've just about exhausted every other source of entertainment. =P I'm going to go see Maid in Manhattan tonight! Yayeee! :) I'm not a huge Jennifer Lopez fan, but I always happen to be a sucker for her movies (although I just can't seem to shake that creepy image of Ralph Fiennes in Red Dragon out of my head). There's just something about the whole Cinderella fantasy fairy tale that keeps me coming back for more. It's the romantic in me, I guess, who still hopes and believes that there might just be that one Perfect Love out there. Not that I believe there is. That's why we need to see it in the movies, because it can't be achieved in real life, right? Okay, I sound a little bit cynical there, but really...I am beginning to think that Love is never as gradiose and as perfect as we imagine it to be...not just love, but most everything in life, because our imagination takes the best of us and goes flying. Not that life isn't great, dreams realized or not. For the almost twenty years that I've been on this earth, I can honestly say that I wouldn't take back a single moment, splotches and all, because I've always gotten through it all somehow. Not unscarred and not without sacrifices, but through it nonetheless.

Anyway! Enough sappy gushy stuff. Sheesh...I can't believe that I'm going to be twenty years old in three short days! It seems like I've barely learned how to be a teenager, and now I'm being forced to move on past that stage and into...what do you call your twenties? It's not really adulthood...is it? That's so scary to think that it might be, that five years from now, me and most everyone I know will have already graduated from college and will probably be working somewhere. WORKING! At a real job, not just at starbucks or the student store or for a research lab...but for an actual COMPANY. Isn't that a scary but exhilarating thought? So I guess the next two years are times for us to do some exponential growing, and time for lots of change . Eek. I don't like that word too much, but hey, change is supposed to be for the better eventually, right? Haha okay that's enough writing for me today...no one is probably reading this anyway with finals and the holidays and whatnot...but for those of you who are, i shall leave you with a special treat! *grin*. Enjoy!

Mmm...What a cutie! =)

P.S. I just got a craving for some Ghiradellhi Dark Chocolage with White Mint filling squares...have y'all ever had those? They are sooo delicious! *drooling* hehehe...

if everything happens that can't be done
(and anything's righter
than books
could plan)
the stupidest teacher will almost guess
(with a run
skip
around we go yes)
there's nothing as something as one

one hasn't a why or because or although
(and buds know better
than books
don't grow)
one's anything old being everything new
(with a what
which
around we go who)
one's everyanything so

so world is a leaf is a tree is a bough
(and birds sing sweeter
than books
tell how)
so here is away and so your is a my
(with a down
up
around again fly)
forever was never till now

now i love you and you love me
(and books are shutter
than books
can be)
and deep in the high that does nothing but fall
(with a shout
each
around we go all)
there's somebody calling who's we

we're everything brighter than even the sun
(we're everything greater
than books
might mean)
we're everyanything more than believe
(with a spin
leap
alive we're alive)
we're wonderful one times one


PHEW! what a long post...almost time to get off work now...never have i been so happy to greet four-thirty! =P

Friday, December 13, 2002


"I wanted to smell that burnt midnight again, I wanted to feel that wind. It was a secret wanting, like a song I couldn't stop humming or loving someone I could never have. No matter where I went, my compass pointed west. I would always know what time it was in California."

I saw this on jessica chang's profile and i just loved it so much I couldn't resist going to my blog and pasting it on here to share with all of you. =) yes, i admit, i am a self-confessed blogger addict!! I haven't posted in here for what feels like AGES but it hasn't even been a week! eek...well hopefully soon when I go home I won't be quite as addicted to my blogger (hahaha yeah right *smirk*).

So tomorrow means lots of things- it means waking up at seven in the morning to take a shower and take my Sociology of Law final (that I hopefully will *not* fail), it means stepping on that plane and going back home, it means saying sayonara to this fall semester of my sophomore year here at good old berkeley. (sense the sarcasm here? haha i'm just kidding...berkeley's all right...sometimes =P) I've been looking forward to tomorrow for what seems like an eternity, yet now that it's finally here, there's something so anti-climactic about it all. These growing years in college, we're supposed to be learning....learning how to be people, learning how to shed that skin that we've adopted from our parents and create our own perspectives about the world and our environment- about more than just quantum physics or 18th century English literature or the coase theorem in econ, although we must learn those things too- what i mean is...as little as we may realize it now or maybe even further down the road, every day that we spend here is precious. So we should be careful to make sure we love the person we're becoming, make sure that our actions are affecting other people in the right ways, make sure to snip regret in the bud before it rears its ugly head.

So my question is, has this semester been filled with learning? It's been filled with experiences that i won't forget, that's for sure. This is my first semester here that I've laughed so hard that my belly aches and tears are flowing down my cheeks, but it's also the first semester that i've muffled my face in the pillows to drown out the sobs tearing through me. It's the first semester i tried mondo gelato, the first semester that i've sat in silence just thinking with nothing but the scent of candles keeping me linked to this world. The first semester i've cooked in my own apartment and come up with charcoal green onions and sizzling fish...the first semester i've felt like i've genuinely helped someone else. So many firsts...so many memories. MERCI BEAUCOUP to each and every one of you who has shared so much with me...even if it was in the most minute ways. where would i be without you guys? probably lost somewhere on bancroft with nothing to eat but...eggs...=X. hehe Anyway! i guess this semester meant more to me than i thought, looking back...it's like that class that you hate so very dreadfully until right after you take the final, and then you realize...you actually liked complaining about that class, you liked groaning about that 10 page essay you had to write, or the 300 pages of reading you had to get done by tomorrow. haha or maybe i'm just a freak and a nerd at heart. =)

OMG...for all of y'all who don't know radiohead's "high and dry"...please go download it! how so much sadness and grief can be contained in that one voice, i have no idea, but every time that i listen to it i get the shivers. Yes, ladies and gents, the SHIVERS!!! almost like the time at the nick carter concert *wink wink*, but no REALLY. it's one of those songs that just touches my heart and makes it want to soar and shrivel at the same time (how is that even possible, you ask? I DON'T KNOW! it's the power of music! lol) yes so that is the song blasting from my winamp along with stephen speaks. that's right. two songs. repeat. lucky richard! *evil grin*

okay. time to crack those books again y'all. good luck on your finals to all those who still have them (poor erika and julie!) and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! =P

There's just something about christmas that makes me tingle inside! the other day, erika and i saw christmas carolers on the side of the street along solano, and even though i couldn't hear their voices through the windshield, i could hear the carols inside of me...rockin' around the christmas tree, jingle bell rock, have yourself a merry little christmas, deck the halls...i LOVE christmas songs! =P this will probably be one of my last blogs before going home for an entire FOUR WEEKS for Christmas break! =) sooooo soooo happy...=) happy beyond words to leave behind my tedious classes and have NO obligations for an entire month! looking forward to new year's and then SAN DIEGO and then CANADA! yayeee! =P

Lately, i don't exactly know why, i've been feeling this Emptiness inside of me. maybe it's because it's soon going to be that time of the month (i'm oh-so-sure y'all just needed to know that) or i'm just jittery waiting to go home, but whatever it is, grrr...i don't like it. =( my parents haven't called in awhile, and i miss talking to them...but i don't really think that's it. maybe it's just that a part of me is realizing, more and more, that i have to learn to be my own person now, that each new day that dawns comes with new responsibilities, heavier duties...i've been thinking of quitting my job at unit 1 as a writing tutor and maybe working at kaplan (this sat prep place) or maybe a cafe, like starbucks or something. And next semester i'm taking 17 units at the least (even though i'm signing up for 21), so i know that'll be a hassle. I always have these big hopes at the start of a semester...it's like the feeling you have the day before the "first day of school" in high school...when you have your notebooks placed neatly inside your backpack, your pens and pencils tucked away, and blank pages inside your planner, just waiting to be filled with homework assignments. There's something so satisfying about starting on a clean slate, beginning anew...it's like you feel like you're just on the brink of something great, and if you just walk a few steps further, you'll get just a glimpse of it before it fades into the promise of tomorrow. Don't y'all just absolutely love that feeling?

Anyway! I digress. What was I talking about? ahh....the phantom emptiness...*sigh*. i don't know where it comes from, really, because there are so many people who i love in my life, more now than ever before, i think. or maybe not more, but i've just grown to love them even more because of time's scars and their infinite strength and resilience through all of it. Either way, I know this melancholy within me is my problem and mine alone...something i've shirked for a long time now and that i still haven't found the mental wits to face. I'm always the first to run when it comes to dealing with myself...as candid as i may be on this blog or in certain moments...there is still a whole facet of myself that i have yet to recognize or to know. i wonder, do we ever completely know ourselves? or do people close to us end up knowing us better than we think, knowing the right times to stay when we tell them to leave, knowing when to stay quiet and when to speak...i don't know. It's both a scary and a reassuring thought that some people may know me better than i know they do, or even better than i know myself at this point. because that means that somewhere along the way, i revealed more of myself than i (maybe) meant to. But maybe that's a good thing. I feel like my relationships with the people i care most about are like re-reading a favorite book of mine. Somehow, even though i know them so well, i'm pleasantly surprised each time, anticipating the next page to come, the next thing in store for us. alas. that's all i have to say for now...goodnight, my beautiful readers =)

p.s. i like this quote from eliza's profile: "these are the times that define us." sooo study hard for finals y'all and don't give anything but the best of yourselves...i'll be cheering for you guys all the way! =)

thanks angela shao for this cute little excerpt from Glamour magazine! =) this is for all of you girls who are planning on "purging" once before finals: (wink wink)

How to Retain Your Dignity When You're Drunk
Resist the urge to get up and dance.
The odds of staying on your feet are slim. walking presents the same challenge- it's best to remain seated.
Keep your mouth shut at all costs.
Just smile and nod if anyone talks to you. anything you say in this muddled state, especially if you're at a work function, could come back to haunt you.
Fight the temptation to apply more makeup.
Why do women always want to do this? Nobody knows. But we do know that it's really hard to get lipstick on straight after you're had a few.
If the room is spinning when you finally get to bed, stick one foot out and put it flat on the floor- the walls will instantly stop moving.

I think the first two are ESPECIALLY pertinent...*grin*. Okay. right now I'm in the computer lab, waiting around for my eleven o'clock rhetoric class...my last class of fall semester, 2002! I'm kind of sad to see it go...is it just me or does time just sneak up on you...one minute you're thinking, "dude it's only september, i still have a couple of months to raise my grades and excel in class" and the next thing you know, it's the week before finals and you're still having fun! (and not studying) haha okay maybe that's just me...but truly though my goal next semester is to get straight A's! (A-'s are fine too, i'll allow myself SOME leeway...heehee) But until then, I must concentrate on studying for finals...last night I did some reading for Rhetoric and i realized how much I have really learned from that class, despite everything. Amazing, isn't it? =) and today I took my last ba module exam...I was sad to say goodbye to Joost, my jolly German gsi, of course, but alas we shall meet again in another life, I am sure of it! hahaha no really though he wins the award for the jolliest ta that I had this semester! (although my sociology teacher came in a close second). Nothing can beat thaunh though...i still see him around sometimes and he always asks how my schoolwork is going and stuff...a gsi who REALLY cares! *swoon* good old thaunh! hahah i can just see erika rolling her eyes right now...but really he was a GREAT gsi! =) ok y'all i should run some errands before class so I'll say bye for now...good luck on finals everyone! and have a merry christmas...may all of you find that inner peace within! =P p.s. i finally fixed the pictures in the previous blog so that you can see it now! yay for me! hehe =D

"Though my soul may set in darkness,
it will rise in perfect light
I have loved the stars too fondly
to be fearful of the night."
-Sarah Williams

i'll let that quote speak for itself...it's a favorite of mine, and i just wanted to share it with all of you. =)

it's FOUR AM! i can't believe i stayed up this late watching you've got mail for like the fiftieth time...today was a pretty rewarding day though. i'm too tired to re-hash it in detail, but a short briefing for all of y'all: i woke up around twelve, took a shower, goofed around with rich till i had to go to class at four, then went to a tutor meeting where I ate yummy meatballs, rushed home for some DELICIOUS dinner cooked by iron chefs rich and erk, and then gave a writing presentation on in class essays and stayed after to help some froshes with their final essays. THEN i came home to be tortured by eliza, richard, and erika (haha jk guys! <3 you) and watched you've got mail and chatted with vince and angela for awhile! talking to them is always a pleasure! =P

have you guys heard that song, radiohead's "high and dry"? i love the chorus...the way he belts out those lyrics...don't leave me high...don't leave me dry...*swoon*...transports me to another place and a magical, suffering artist type of life. if y'all know what i mean....yes yes i know i'm a freak! =)

ok.. it's late, so i'll post some some pictures and them write something more substantial tomorrow (or later today). i have telebears at NINE-THIRTY AM!!! eeek!!!!!! =X



Me and my sister BAW...(aka emily)...shhhh...i made her slouch down so that we would look about the same...i'm five years older than her though, isn't that SAD?? =( my parents didn't feed me enough...HAHAHAH =)


a couple of us at life plaza...mmmm i had yummy strawberry juice! =)


Vince and I...that beanie is from abercrombie KIDS...what a weirdo! =P


erk, ang, and i before knitting factory...we're all in black! =)


ok...i'm TIRED...GOOD NIGHT ALL!!!!!!! =D

Find me here
And speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me to the place
Where I find peace again

You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the light to my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything

And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this

You calm the storms
And you give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fold
You still my heart
When you take my breath away
Would you take me in take me deeper now

Would you tell me how it could be
Any better than this
lifehouse, everything


sometimes i wonder...is it really possible to put that much into someone? to give your all to someone so completely that it hurts every part of you, tearing away until you feel like you have nothing left that is your own? obviously, the lyrics above are just a song...but a couple of weeks ago, when rich, erika and i were in the apt, the song came up and richard or erika, i forget who, commented that that one line, "you are my purpose" is a lot to say to someone. it really is, if you take the time to think about it. think of the pressure on the one side if it's said to you...the pressure to live up to all that that one person expects, the pressure to be someone's motivation, someone's inspiration. then on the other side to say that to someone else...imagine the vulnerability in those words, how much you are surrendering by saying that. i don't think I could ever say that to anyone...even if I felt it deep inside. it takes so much courage, you risk so much...and you wind up thinking, is it really worth it? for all of you concerned readers out there, don't worry, i'm not going through a personal crisis or anything like that. This song just came up on my winamp and I got to thinking about the lyrics. anyway. on a lighter note...=P

home this weekend was absolutely positively refreshing! never again will i take for granted my wonderful queen size bed...sleeping here at berkeley just isn't the same without the whole jumbo bed experience. and yes, ladies and gents, it IS an experience...having the luxury to toss and turn as much as you please is something I'd long forgotten how much i loved...*sigh of pleasure*...good thing it's only two more weeks before i head home to good old diamond bar for some days of pure lazy cat fun! =) i have pics from our night out and with my darling sister baw but for now i'm too lazy to post them...besides...blogger is having this weird publishing problem right now. i'm only writing in here because i have INSOMNIA...i can't fall asleep! and i have to wake up tomorrow morning too...bah this sucks! oh well that only means that you, my beautiful readers, get to read more of my lovely ramblings! hahaha jk...=) i guess i shall take this time to write down my *wish list* for christmas which angela keeps demanding and which annie has so helpfully posted (sense the sarcasm here? hehe jk!)

all i want for christmas...(and my birthday)

disclaimer: i'm not ASKING for all these things...they're just things that i like.
