first day of school.

apartment living is the BOMB. i dont even know if that makes sense..but i love apartment life! i love my housemates :)

so first day of school was today and i woke up at freaking 650 AM. AYY EMM. crazy stuff. my class started at 730. yes, you heard me correctly. seventhirtyinthefreakingmorning. it wasn't even for a class i liked. it was PHYSICS 7A. im not even in the class technically. waitlisted number one. i better get in, or i'll be very angry about waking up this early for no reason. haha just kidding. but i do hope i get in. even though im not the biggest fan of physics.

i was reunited with the arc today and it felt so good <33

i love andrea chiong :)
HAHAHA <33

i can't believe class of 09 graduated.
i feel so old.

done :)

woohoo. i get to use my auntie's wireless card :]
so i slept from 10pm-2:30pm. felt goood.
i can't play sims3 until my ram card gets here! >:o
so im happy that school is out, but not too happy that i start school next monday.
hahah whateves :l

it's so sad because i pulled in an allnighter the day before my math final
and then when taking the final, i started falling asleep.
fail fail fail fail fail.
i probably did horribly on that final.
too bad it's like 40% of my grade. :(

i hate.

junk food.
it's a shame i don't realize this until after i kill the entire bag.
:(
the days seem to be going by so slowly.
it's a good thing because i seriously need to study for finals
it's a bad thing because i wanna play sims.
harharhar

at last.

i will not play sims 3 until i am done with finals.
i will not play sims 3 until i am done with finals.
you think if i say it enough, it'll happen?
i need more ram anyways.
im excited! :)

p.s. thank you brother

whee

i just woke up from a 6 hour nap.
i guess i don't need to sleep tonight :)
it's okay, i'd rather study all night long for my math midterm.
whee!

fml? no! tyfml!

i think people need to stop saying "fml".
seriously, it's like
"i woke up late and i didn't go to class. fml."
really? you think your life is ruined because you woke up late?
sigh!
maybe if a bird pooped on your head three times and someone shot you in the arm because they thought you were their creepy exboyfriend or something, then maybe you can say it.
but come on
people are using it for every. little. thing.

how about we be a little grateful for the things that are going on in our lives? hm? :)
how about tyfml? thank you for my life?

6 miles!

WOW I RAN 6 MILES TODAY!
and now im tired. super tired.

today was freshmen buddy potluck! me and hannah made 7 layer dip and salad. nomnomnom. it was nice talking to her and stuff. i told her about how i wasn't sure if i should stay at aacf or not. she said something about aacf's focus is bonding with people ands stuff. i guess it just depends on what i look for in a fellowship. food was really good. but i ate a lot. hence, the 6 miles :p.

i thought it was kind of weird how david kam was playing guitar. and i eagerly asked if he knew how to play 'simple starving to be safe' and he started playing it then he said with a 'smile' "sorry i don't really like that song", and stopped playing. i don't know. that just made me not like him so much. hahah. iono just WEIRD -_-

anyways i need to study hardcore for chemistry. SERIOUSLY!

DIEDIEDIE

there's a spider in my room. & it's been in here since yesterday. i wondered how mr. spider spent his day in my room. but then i remembered that i could care LESS because i want him out of my room and/or dead. sorry i have no compassion for spiders. i've been spending a while watching it scurry around the walls. i even tried vacuuming it. that didn't work out. oh and thanks roommate for videotaping me trying to kill the spider. really thanks. no, i don't need help killing the spider thanks so much. -_-
ahh how am i going to sleep knowing the spider might crawl on me? or go in my mouth?
EEK. last time i saw it was in my closet. how will i ever wear clothes again?

no, im not paranoid; thank you very much.

i. need. to. stay. focused.
but its too hard.


p.s. i want sims 3 now.

i wish.

i wish i could draw :(
i mean i love playing around with computer graphics
but i don't really do much with that..
i can't make things up from scratch.
i use paintbrushes that other people make

i wish i could explore the more creative/artistic in me.
that is, if i do have one at all.

learning how to sketch and draw..
and i wish i had photoshop so i could play around with it
it's really amazing what people can create!
on photoshop, on paper, with sewing machines

i wish i wish i wish!

simsthree!

today i had a talk a talk with jasmine about colleges.
i realized that although i don't hate davis, im not exactly in love with it.
& even though im quite aware of the whole "don't regret anything",
i often wonder what it'd be like if i went to sd, or irvine.
it's horrible, i know.
but im human and my mind wanders off sometimes.
the thing about davis is that i don't feel like i belong.
especially with looking for a church and fellowship.
i know that no church/fellowship will be perfect,
but i feel like there are two essentials.
one, have solid beliefs and teachings
two, good fellowship.
the ones i've been going to have one or the other,
and it's quite frustrating!
i suppose i gotta just keep trusting God on this..

i did really like how jasmine and i got to talk today though.
it's nice talking to her. really :)
we were just talking about colleges and people..
haha but i liked it.
went to river today and was stuck in afterfellowship there for like THREE hours.
kind of sucked, but whatevs!

i might join circle k/rotaract with jasmine. woot woot :)

OMG SIMS 3 is coming out june 2nd.
that's such big news.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4Lbu1bWJB8
i want itt!

9am-6pm.

friday went to river on campus for bible study
we talked about dating. verrry interesting.
mmhmm.

then afterwards went to aacf girls sleepover :)
we watched '10 things i hate about you'
& we baked sugary, fattening goodies.
you know, the best kind of food there is ;p
pumpkin cupcakes!
then we just sat and had girl talk
stuff about caitlin's creeper boy story
and hannah's weird story
and lauren's boy story.
then every one tricked off to slumber
except for me :(
hahah so i got back to my dorm really early
and slept from 9am-6pm.
talk about screwing up your sleeping pattern!

after i slept, i went to the gym, so i could feel like i did SOMETHING productive
got back, and attempting to catch up on massive amounts of homework.

p.s. i got a 91% on my chem midterm! that's pretty amazing since i usually get like 30%. ahahahh. but the exam was pretty easy, no lie :(. i mean, a lot of people found it easy.
and after the curve, my math exam is actually a B. take that stupid chemistry and math.

okay, maybe not.

ok well, i think i will write about my daily happenings here,
and leave the other stuff for some place mysterious :)

so, maybe i was a little bit too ahead of myself with the whole 4.0 thing.
i got a 79% on my calc exam today.
i was pretty freaking bummed out because i thought i did pretty well on it.
i hate stupid, small mistakes.
i think if i got an 80% i wouldn't been too bummed out.
yes i am aware that its just a one point increase,
but it sure looks better, don't you think?

today ate dinner with future housemates + hanna + paul + dan +gary.
it was nice eating dinner with them :D

HAH, so now my future roommates are starting to complain about paying so much for our next year's apartment. i could totally do the "told you so" thing & show them my blog where i angrily rant about the apartment thing, but i think i'll hold off for now.

ran 5 miles today. feelin' good yo.

p.s. i love naps.

hallelujah, she's alive.

so i don't really blog here anymore
notice i didn't say i don't blog anymore
i just don't blog here.

that being said,
let's go 4.0?
puhaha.

its pretty hot up here.
so this is how it feels to be a piece of burnt toast.

im having a hate-love relationship with junk food.
i love how delicious it tastes when im eating it
i hate how i feel afterwards.
oh mouth, why must you love sugar?

my God is an awesome God.

what a beautiful day to serve :)
seriously it was such a nice day.
we went to do homeless ministry 2.0 today at cesaer chaves park in sac.
it was a lot more interactive this time around.
we got to talk to some people. and it was nice.
i mean, honestly it was awkward for me, but i really wanted to place myself out of my comfort zone and reach out to people.

mm went to davis sushi buffet for the first time today for micah's birthday
it was deeelicious.
:)

then we went to Unity in Christ-We Were Made to Worship.
we were super late, and i wish i had come earlier because the speaker was amazing.
basically, he was like a transvestite. he was a gay man who wanted to be a woman.
and he was tired of being judged by others.
and he went through a lot throughout his life
but he turned to God desires instead of his own.
and he became christian. married to a woman with children for many many years.

i think this message was important for a lot of us, because christians often don't know what to do when it comes to a topic regarding homosexuality. but they are still God's childrens and He loves them. so we are to love them as well. it was just a really great message and there was some really great praise afterwards.

boo for daylight savings :(

lets run!

ugh. im getting a little irritated by my roommate right now.
i mean, she tries to make her boyfriend a better person,
but when her boyfriend tries to make her a better person, she doesn't do it.
like she always tells him to go to class and stuff
and he tells her to go to class, but she says no
i know im no expert in relationships and whatever, but
shouldn't it be a two way street?
each person tries to make the other person better?
sigh i don't know

anyways today was a really pretty day :)
it was sunny, yet cool.
i went to the arc today and started off at 5.0 mph
5.23 miles and 508 calories
im excited to improve :)
the elliptical was getting a little boring.
hahha but i showed improvement with that too
i used to burn like 400 cals/hour
but i kept working at it til 600 cals/hour
i feel weird talking in calories, but it didn't tell me how many miles i ran on the elliptical..
but yeah whoo hopefully i'll start running faster and faster :DD

--

okay got back from late night with aacf freshmen
so i need to rant more.
my future housemates have stopped asking me if they can eat my food now :(
i came back from class and they were eating my yogurt, bread, peanut butter and jam :o
im kind of sad today because of that.
and im almost sad bc well
here's how me and shannon do laundry.
we kind of do it together so we can save money
we separated colors last saturday. i did the laundry last saturday for her clothes & mines.
she didn't do any laundry.
it is not almost friday and she still hasn't done the laundry.
laundry that has my clothes in it.
i dont know. i feel like . shouldn't you want to do laundry especially if you're doing someone elses?
SIGHSIGHSIGHSIGH
frowns all around :(

sigh professor luker.

im a little bit worried for my gpa this quarter :(
i think im going to get a b/b+ in english, and that makes me frustrated.
i feel like he grades way too harshly for an lower division class >:O
i asked for a regrade on the previous paper and he bumped me from a b to a b+.
woo. -_-
bye bye 4.0.

anyways today was pretty cool :)
it was one of my longer days, but i ended lab relatively early.
im like always the last group to leave, but today was different.
and it was such a nice day today! the weather was perfect.

at like 4:30 ish michelle and i went to her place (sw16) to brainstorm ideas for our brothers.
basically we had to do something for geoff mac, randy nguyen and francis chu.
we were just thinking aloud, and then andrew calls us over to sw17 to check out his pokemon deck.
sigh these college boys are playing pokemon cards!
hahha but it was fun just chilling at their place.
then we decided on making
pasta with alfredo sauce, pork chops and cheesecake cupcakes!
it was fun hanging out with michelle and the others.
i cant wait for a kitchen of my own so i can cook and bake!

we also went to guadalahara for burritos! yumyum.
got back to my dorm around 1-1:30 ish and bumped into joe, justin, dana and christine at the door
talked for a bit, got in trouble for being loud, went inside, took shower and here i am ready to do some hw before going to bed.

what a red face you have.

so today i went to the arc alone at around 2:30ish.
it was pretty cool because a lot of machines are open around that time :)
i decided to treadmill today; and man it was tiring!
i think it'd because i've been so used to using the elliptical.
but yeah i was around 5.0-5.5 mph. but i couldn't do it for an hour
because i was so tired.
but this is good for me :)
i can work towards running faster and faster.
i'll start slow at 5.0 mph and try to speed up to 6.0 mph.
it'll give me something to work for :)
anyways my face was incredibly red afterwards.
like, seriously.
hahha.
legos was super fun today :)
we made skits today.
very funny :)
jasmine's "oh my gosh. what happened to them!"
and shannon's "so..you wanna go get a smoothie?"
it was cool :)

raindrops keep falling on my head.

so i slept at 5am and woke up at 9am.
hahah weekends were meant for rest?
sometimes.
today was rainyrainyrainy.
went to ucc with shannon
then afterwards we all went to eat at dc!
i temporarily lost my id card, so yk swiped me in :)
my parents came today and brought some food.
i realize i miss my mom a lot. hahha
i think im coming home for spring break!
because my grandpa might go to my uncle's in march.
so yeah :D
i took a wonderful nap after my parents left
went to eat dinner with shannon.

i didn't eat any sweets today!
this isn't for lent necessarily, but i just want to live a healthy lifestyle.
eating healthy, going to arc 5x a week, studying daily, read the bible daily, no sweets/junk food!
because honestly, junk food is unhealthy and is of no benefit to the body.
kind of like drugs, no?

i shall try :)

ugh i got a b on my chem midterm after the curve. i really want an a :(
heck, i want a 4.0.

brother's appreciation!

so today i just feel really happy and joyful :)
today we had brother's appreciation for aacf.
mm, first the four of us went to eat brunch.
and then i did laundry and cleaned the dorm with shannon.
then i went to arroyo park with other aacfers to play games!
we had battleship, throw-frosted-wheats-at-sisters-who-have-whipped-cream-on-their-face, and squeeze-orange-into-cup-without-using-your-hands. :)
it was really fun and cute to watch. hahah

then we went back to dorm and got ready for the banquet!
i was doing my hair, and it didn't look too good
so i asked shannon to do it. she put a lot of big curls in my hair
and i was like "uh..doesn't look like it's gonna look good."
but she did her tricks, tied it to the side and added a ribbon.
she is a hair master!
haahh and so i went and it was really great :)
i just felt like we're all a family trying to live for God as brothers and sisters.
just..really good feeling. hahah.

i feel so blessed. i really thank God for giving me my future housemates & aacf.
<3 <3 <3 <3

pictures will be uploaded onto facebook shortly :)

i feel like i haven't written here for a while.

oh wait, that's because it's true.
i've been pretty busy studying for midterms and such.
i really didn't procrastinate this time around!
i started studying almost a week before my midterms!
i took my math midterm on wednesday.
i got a 90! this is pretty good compared to my previous 62% yeah?
but yeah, im definitely going to study every day
so i have time to go the arc and stuff :)
im really excited for this new plan.
teehee.
i have my chem midterm tomorrow
and i understood a lot of the practice midterm
so hopefully i will do well on the actual midterm :)
i'm really really thankful for my future housemates
i really love them! they make being at uc davis so much better.
ooh i have a paper due tomorrow (well i guess today now)
but i already finished it :)
i just have to proof it and turn it in by 5:00 tomorrow

i went to berkeley on saturday (2/21) to see aaron perform in an a capella competition
it was pretty fun!

okay time to shower and study a little more chemistry
and then sleeeeep

feel the burn.

wednesday night was pretty cool.
harry potter theme at our dc
aacf was going to eat at segundo,
but when we walked over, the line was way too long.
so we walked back to tercero and had a small group :)
celeste, jasmine, shannon, hannah, paul, paul's friend, and me!
it was really nice. i realize now that maybe i should have taken pictures.
because it was all just really cute.
hahah.

ooh! i went to the arc earlier on wednesday, and i was sad because there were no machines.
so i reluctantly went onto the treadmill
and found out that i love it!

i woke up today feeling very achy.
but i love that.
ahahh its like i can feel the burn.
is that weird?
maybe a little huh?

but anyways, today was pretty normal
i studied for math quiz
i think i did okay on it
i decided to make my own dinner at my dorm today
rice was disgusting
seaweed was disgusting.
hahah but the gen neep was good.

now i am studying for my sas midterm #2!

ardenmall!

today aaron and denise took shannon, dana, and i to arden mall!
i was excited because i hadn't gone shopping in like a month and a half.
haha that's not even a long time, but whatever.
good news: i finally bought a long, gray cardigan for $10.00
bad news: i didn't buy anything else.
hahah well its good i didn't spend a lot of money i guess.
it's just, everything is so expensive!

we might go thrifting + marshalls + ross this saturday.
all the stores are on the same street, so that's helpful.

i'm cheap.

anyways finally got fafsa out of the way yesterday.

im kind of sad that school is starting again tomorrow.
sigh!

abandoned again!

oh no. i haven't blogged in a long time again :(
it's been really nice these past couple of days :)
on thursday, shannon, jasmine, celeste, and i had dinner at gary's house. gary made fettucine and dan made this rice+porkchops thing. it was really good! gosh, they're so nice. really thankful for them :). AND THEN we went to safeway, and gary bought us ice cream! strawberry cheesecake + cookie dough. :D :D. it was a really chill night. we just watched tv and hung out. oh! and paul came too. poor mike. he had to wash all the dishes because it was his turn. he didn't even eat anything though! seriously, the dishes were like overflowing from the sink. felt so bad :( but, nevertheless, it was a fun night!

friday, went to aacf and took brother along this time. i hope he had fun D:
umm, for afterfellowship, the girls went to plan for brother's appreciation night, and the boys went to santa rosa to play games and watch tv. you know, guy stuff. hahah

saturday, it was valentine's day! er, single awareness day :). hahah it was fun because the three of us were helping masumi plan a scavenger hunt for jasmine. she had to walk A LOT. from like tercero, to downtown davis, and then to old tea house. sheesh. but yeah. i guess celeste and we were frustrated because it was like she was doing all the work getting flowers and balloons. masumi was just telling her what to do -_-. but what's done is done. and i just hope she enjoyed everything! mm after that, we watched the wedding singer. it was awfully cute <3. paul came over to eat our junk food and just chill. after that we went to saratoga 17 to play jedi mafia. daaang so confusing. hhaha but i guess it was fun ;). then jasmine and i went to aaron's room to play his keyboard (everything by michael buble!) and guitar! it was really fun, even though i suck :( i can play 4 chords! haha but i can play a song with that. cool huh? yeah we were there until 2 or something. then we came back to dorms.

sunday! went to ucc. i think i will stick with this church. i think. hahah

yay for drugs!

sudaffed, that is :)
anyways, i feel a lot better today!
i feel like this quarter is pretty bad
because i don't understand
a n y t h i n g.
i don't understand chem
i don't understand math
im probably going to get a stupid b in english
and i stopped paying attention in my mushroom class
which is my fault, i know. stupid wifi ><.
hopefully i will be able to focus on my studies this 3 day weekend :)

went to dinner with shannon and paul today.
shannon and jasmine went to kccc
while i worked diligently on my math hw
not really. hah.
umm yeah i don't think there is much else for me to say?

except today was very rainy and gloomy.
i need to make a schedule for healthy living.
because seriously, i want to live a healthy life.
i want to eat healthy and exercise on a daily basis
because then i feel better and i study better!
hopefully i'll be able to make one, and stay on track :)

im going to work on english and then sleep early.
whoo hoo!

esther is sick.

so today i skipped my enl class because i felt horribly sick when i woke up. i had sore throat + fever + all these other not so lovely symptoms. of all english classes i go to, i just had to miss the most important one? whatever. i'll copy notes from a stranger :o. so i felt kind of ticked off today at shannon. okay, so she's kind of the one who got me sick. and i don't expect her to cater to me or anything, but maybe a little consideration? she was talking to her boyfriend on webcam and on the phone really loudly. and i was thinking "couldn't she just talk to her boyfriend outside on the balcony?" especially when every noise is magnified like 100x because of me being sick? i don't know, i don't think she's that considerate..or maybe it's just me? i don't know, what would you expect your roommate to do when you're trying to sleep away the sickness? i sucked it up and went to legos because i was supposed to lead the game. i felt very ugh though. but luckily angela took me to savemart to get me some drugs :). i just ate some, so i hope that i'll be knocked out on my bed sometime soon!

weekends are meant for playing.

so, i didn't get any work done over the weekend. but it's okay. weekends were meant for rest right? :) sunday, went to ucc for church. afterwards we swiped the upperclassmen into the dc for brunch. i think i took a nap. OH. shannon, celeste, and jasmine went to river city grace church yesterday. anyways, i went to bible study prep for legos, and it was cool. after that we played supersmash on gamecube for a bit, then we went to safeway to get gabby a birthday cake! then we surprised her at 12:00am. well we were a little bit late, and we sang happy birthday! the cake was good. mm. icecream cake :). but yeah it was fun! then i woke up today and the first thing i thought was "i hate school." ahahah oh how nice it would be to just sleep in :)

12:48 am.
so i still hate school.
i think im starting to get sick.
my roomie is sick, and she doesn't cover her mouth when she coughs >O
but yeah now we're both sick.
yay. -_-
ahh i hate school.
why cant we just play all day?

lazy saturday.

today was cool. woke up at like 11:30 and just laid in bed for a half hour. ate brunch with shannon. did laundry. that took foreverr! then celeste, jasmine, shannon, and i went to downtown davis to eat froyo, dinner, and hang out at borders. it was fun chilling :) watched mall cop. it was okay. lol whenever i watch movies online, i get distracted with other stuff. so badd:(. talked to dana in the bathroom. very interesting.

iron chef!

so what are the odds of this. shannon and i both didn't hear our alarms and overslept. LAME! but she woke up at 10:00 and woke me up. i had a quiz to take at like 10:40, so i rushed to get ready and read the article we were going to be tested on on the way to class. man, im so bad. ahah -_-.
but anyways, the rest of the day was okay. shannon and i had lunch and then the four of us headed over to sorrento to sign our lease. im paying 397 for rent and some more for our washer/dryer and utilities. sigh. im still sad about the rent im paying, but im glad im living with the girls im living with. they're really amazing <3. anyways, we were signing our lease, and the guy who was helping us sign our lease was REALLY COOL. haha we asked all these questions about him :p but he was cool about it. caitlin was being really cute and she just popped in and was like "ohmygosh are their cookies in here?" hahah and while we were signing papers, gary, paul, and dan lined up outside the balcony and said hi. i don't know if that made sense, but it was really cute. ahaha afterwards, we went to caitlin's house in avalon. it's so preeeeetty, but madd expensive. haha. then we bused back with gary and dan. i didn't feel hungry, so i didn't eat. i showered instead. then i went to aacf alone bc the other three went to msm. aacf was really cool bc caitlin gave a really awesome testimony about the homeless outreach event. then someone from river rock grace church came. he was blind, and it was just really inspiring to preach. afterwards, we had iron chef for afterfellowship. i was in group four and MAN we were bangingggggggggggg. haha i don't even know if that word makes sense. but whatever. the secret ingredient was strawberries and we made a three course meal. yeee. i helped make the brownies :D. but yeah, it was really fun. and we ended up winning so yeeeee!
too bad there wasn't a reward; hahah but fun nonetheless!
now im in my dorm and the three of them are watching a korean drama; i think its boys over flowers. wheee

late night eatings.

today started off bad, but i really tried to keep a positive attitude. lab was awful. i didn't take out the khp last week and so just everything was messed up. i was in a pretty bad mood after that. i should have gone to the gym, but i felt exhausted after my 9-4pm classes. so i just did some homework, and took a nap. then we went to dinner with celeste. gary and michelle joined us later. but they couldn't eat. so we went back to my dorm and waited for late night. then paul called and asked if we could swipe him in with his friend. i said sure and we all went to late night. hahah it was just really nice. just talking and laughing. it really made my day :)

tuesday discounts :)

only one class today :). went to the arc in the afternoon. went to eat dinner at segundo with lilly, her roomie, steven, agna, and jasmine. afterwards, aacf legos went to baskinrobbins for the $1.00 scoop icecream. cookie dough=yum. jasmine's strawberry cheesecake was also very delicious :). after that, we went to watch benjamin button for $5.00! i thought it was an interesting concept. i don't know, im not too picky with movies, so yeah :) came back to dorm to see chinese fooodd. yummy :D

craving rockband.

i don't know if that makes sense, but i just really want to play rockband. hahah.

still a bit frustrated with the whole apartment thing.
so im going to rant.
because after all, isn't that what blogs are for?

i mean, honestly, i've been doing apartment research since like november.
and i sent them links, pricing, bus lines, convenience information.
and they didn't respond to anything.
and now here we are
with only one option because they waited until the last minute
to find an apartment
and now i have to pay 400 dollars to share a room.
i know you say "i don't care where we live." well, not you're not too happy about paying so much for a apartment yeah?
i just don't appreciate you guys procrastinating until the last minute
to find an apartment
when i spend forever researching them.
it's just really frustrating.
why didn't you guys respond to the things i sent you?
whywhywhy?
why when i asked you guys just said "i don't know" or "i don't care"
isn't this supposed to be a group effort?

anyways, that's my rant for the day.
i did my chem lab stuff and math hw
and they're due on weds & thurs :D

lovelysunday:)

went to ucc today for church; didn't go to college class. oh well!
afterwards, went back to dorm and ate brunch with shannon.
then i worked on some designs for aacf shirt!
so this is for aacf

i don't reall care if they get "picked" or whatever. they were just fun to make; and good experience :)

went to superbowl party at randy's house. i didn't really watch because im not a huge football fan, but it was cool to just chill. we played rockband though! i lovelove it. im so buying rockband next yearr! i can play medium on drums now *nods head proudly*. hahah. mm hotlinks.
i heard federer lost to nadal today? and the steelers won?

got back home, found out that everyone wants to live in sorrento. i guess. im paying 400 dollars a month to share a room. ridiculous. honestly, im kind of mad, but i can't do anything about it because majority rules.

:)

im really disappointed that i didn't write at all this week. sigh!
let me try to remember some things
today aacf went to sacramento state park to pass out food to the homeless. we made pb&js the day before and we just walked around. my group wasn't so lucky in finding homeless people. and also its kind of hard to distinguish between homeless people and nonhomeless people. you know? but i thought it was still cool:) afterwards we went to costco to grubb. i only had my card, and they didnt accept it, so donald paid for us. and then we found out he didn't have any money to pay for himself! i dont know. i just really love aacf people for being so selfless. i can really see God's love shining through them. i hope i can be like them for the freshmen next year :) then i got back to dorm and took a 6 hour nap. found out tiff found my glasses under andrea's bed! YEE!

friday: allnighter. took two midterms and turned in a paper. i got a 51% on my chem. that kind of sucks, but its ok! at large group today, pastor dana showed this verse on the overhead.
psalms 118:24: "This is the day the LORD has made, [I will] rejoice and be glad in it." i could be emo and depressed about my grades, but i have a choice to still live a glorifying day :). life is more than school, anyways. :) then we went to make pb&j sandwiches and just chill. i really like just singing praise songs with a guitar playing. its just so simple and i love it!

i think thursday was a pretty boring day. haha don't remember anything

wednesday: dont remember much except i went to women's bible study for the first time. it was really good! i didn't want to go because i thought i had hecka school work, but i realized i should always have time for God and fellowshipping :) but it was all worth it. it was just me, hannah, and michelle fong, but it was really good. we watched videos afterwards, hahah really funnaaay.

anyways, i think im really loving davis a lot more. coming to davis forced me out of my comfort zone. i really don't have close friends here, so i had to really depend on God. but i found this great fellowship where i can grow as a christian, and i've met some really cool people. im glad i met shannon, celeste, and jasmine, my future housemates! im happy :). i've also been seeking God more here at davis. its weird. i thought i'd grow away from God, if anything. but i really wanna learn more about Him and read the Bible more.

oh yeah, and for apartments, we can't get almondwood because they're all rented out. we're deciding between sorrento and portage bay. celeste really wants sorrento, but its just so expensive! portage bay is really cheap, and shannon would bring a car then. i like portage bay, but i feel like its going to be hard for us to come to a decision. :(

where has the weekend gone?

it's already sunday, which means tomorrow is monday. thank you mr. obvious.
i have a midterm tomorrow for my mushroom, mold and society class. i haven't really studied for it yet, but im doing it now :l. today went to church at ucc with aaron, lauren, liza, and shannon. we were late, so we couldn't find any parking, so we ended up parking at some random lot. it was a nice day though, so i didn't mind walking :). today the pastor talked about the 40 days of community, and how important it is for christians to have communities of faith. i agree :). it's definitely not a journey to be ventured on alone. afterwards, stood around outside while drinking green tea and eating cookies. went to college class afterwards. they had donuts! i didn't really eat, but it was nice to have them there :). i think i like the pastor at college class; ucc might be the place i'll stick it. we'll see! afterwards, we went to house of noodles at downtown davis. the food was alright. aaron paid for us because no one had cash on them. he's so nice :/ i really want to repay him for his kindness. someday. someday. came back to dorm, and waited for parents to come. they brought rice, kimchi, water, gen neep, peanuts, clothes, yadayadayada. it was nice to see my mom again :)
spent couple hours studying for chem chapter seven. wasn't very productive because i was feeling drowsy. but i refused to take a nap! anyways, off i go to finish studying for tomorrow's midterm. and hopefully dt!

i died. but now im back :)

i haven't blogged in a couple of days. don't really know why, but it doesn't matter because i'll catch up now :)
wednesday
man, talk about bad day. this is really embarassing, but it just ruined my day. so i went to the dc for lunch, and i grabbed two tangerines on the way out. i had half a cookie in my hand, which i really would've consumed all the way by the time i exited the door. anyways, the rule is only one fruit or one dessert, and i got caught :(. i was walking out and this mister was like "i need to see your id card." i was like o.o; thinking "ARGHGHGH" and he wrote down my id number and told me to put my fruit back. yeah the ruined my day. seriously though. two tangerines=one orange okay? -_- it was a long day. 9-4 with one hour break for lunch. took a nap after lab because i just felt blah. found out i got a 'b' on my english paper. kind of disappointed, because i wanted an A. hehe. guess i'll try and do better next time :). at the end of the day though, i realized that i shouldn't let so many things get to me because none of this really matters you know? i have a purpose in life, so im happy :)
thursday
i got over it. but then i kind of didn't. you know, that's the kind of person i am. i just reply things over and over in my mind. i wonder if i should clear the air with the mister, but i don't know. he always looks so mad, and ugh. we'll see. anyways went to class from 12-2. went to the arc with celeste afterwards. today is the day celeste had lunch with won ;). anyways, after arc, met up with brother to eat dinner. oh my gosh. dinner was awfully delicious today. i don't usually like salmon, but it was SO GOOD. i think we got like four plates of just that. hahah my brother was like "come on, we have to get a lot of the good expensive stuff!" totally asian. anyways, after that went to chem discussion. i spent the whole time studying for the math quiz though. hahah went to math discussion after that; took quiz. it was alright, i guess. left early :x to go to bible study.
bible study was good i guess. i was in the intense group. haha. after bs, hung out for a while then went back to dorm. shannon pulled all nighter for chem midterm :(
friday
went to classes and took a nice nap (likeeee 3 hours?) afterwards. hahah man that felt good. went to aacf large group. fbc pastor spoke andd yeah. it was nice :) afterfellowship at saratoga west with freshmen. went to quicklys before to get food. 25 cents per ounce frozen yogurt? daaang! played apples to apples with some people while others played taboo. it was nice just hanging out :)
saturday
woke up and ate brunch with celeste and shannon. today was so unproductive. i should have done more, but i didn't :(.

why hello there mister stress.

yes, i can feel it. and i need to get rid of it before i lose my composure! yesterday presented the perfect opportunity to do something productive. i woke up at 3:00. took a shower. and i just couldn't get myself to do anything. i felt so dead. i took a nap later on. got a call from celeste to go eat. i went to go eat. got back. still didn't feel like doing any work. so i slept early. i slept for like 12 hours both days. makes me feel incredibly sick that im so unproductive. that's why im going to go to class and then come back, and do ALL of my work. that's right, i said all. we'll see how far that goes. midterms are approaching. stress be gone. be gone! :(

this is too long to read. trust me.

ohmanohman. so on friday i set off for winter retreat in santa cruz! i was in walter's car. i didn't even know him, and he drove me. how nice! so in our car was paul, sarah, johannah, and me. we went to san jose and stopped there to eat. we ended up eating at tapioca express. HAHA. went all the way to san jose to eat tapx. then after that our car was like, "let's get a head start and go without the caravan." karma is a beezyyy. hahah we started going up the mountain and everyone started getting carsick. except for me? i don't know why. but yeah all the windy roads and twists and turns. understandable. we got SO lost because it was so dark. paul had to throw up four times throughout the trip. i felt really bad for him, but he was being a soldier :). sarah threw up once too :( we got there at like almost one am. hahah. we were like the last ones to get there. everyone was in the cabin i was staying in. we sang happy birthday to liza and gave her cupcakes! we went to sleep and then

woke up early for optional prayer meeting. i normally am not into prayer meetings, but i felt convicted to go for some reason. it was nice. there weren't too many people there, but its okay. after prayer meeting, we went to go eat breakfast. yummy :D i really like green tea. hahah then we went to worship and listen to the first sermon. andy was speaking, and even though its all stuff that i knew already, it was good to be reconvicted. i liked what he had to say to the girls. beauty fades, charm is deceptive. focus on being a strong follower of Christ because that's all that really matters in the end. after that, we had small groups. let's see. who was in my group? tyler was our leader. i thought it was cute how he prayed "Father, umm thanks for this day i guess." hhah but yeah and hannah, matt dea, andrew. then we had lunch. i played scruples or whatever you call it. i won. whoo hoo. -_-. then walked around for a bit. dinner. worship. sermon. small groups. outdoor activity: mission impossible. basically there are four "targets" that are hidden, and we all have to find these people. each person will give us a letter. you're supposed to spell out "love". you need to find the people in chronogical order (it was hard. i only got the "l") there are agents too. omg aaron and jeff >:O. they lured me out of my group somehow. they were like "oh the game is almost over. let's just walk back." and i was like "ok". so we're just talking, and then jeff is like "bambam." sigh. so he drew on my face as a result. whatever! it was just a heart :D. then we had campfiree. people shared stories. yk's was very memorable; he gave his lifestory.

i was kind of iffy about this retreat so far because its so different from what im used to at home. like, at home, we have the whole last night dedicated towards praise and prayer. i don't know. i still love aacf though!

sunday, went to prayer meeting. ate brunch. had worship/devotion. sunday sermon. moi time. talked to rebecca. small groups. packed up. group picture. man that took FOREVER. hahah we took pictures on noah's ark :D. it was very prom style because we were on the stairs. it was cute though. then we left for davis. well we decided to go to curry house at san jose. and we were actually FIRST. hahah mm shared sesame chicken and rice with sarah :) she's really cool! then we went to YOGURTLAND! yesss. first time. i didn't take a picture though. how disappointing. it was really yummy! then we went to this japanese store where everything is $1.50. paul is very indecisive. he couldn't figure out which beanie to get. and omg, he lost his phone :( probably sometime when he ran out of the car to throw up. i feel really bad because i think he's not doing too well financially..but he bought the beanie regardless. he's funny. lol. his laugh always sounds nervous. and he tells us that is just comes out that way.

anyways we stayed there for like, EVER. we started driving home, and we got lost. why am i not surprised? hahah we drove around looking for the freeway, but it just wasn't happening. i mean, eventually we found it, but yeah. it was nice getting to talk to my car :). we listened to music from my ipod and just, talked. we went to walmart to get paul a new phone. i bought cereal, nivea, and gummy bears while i was there :). then we drove back to davis, and i felt really sad because i didn't want it to end. but it did. i was the first to get dropped off and i was looking for my id card. found it. stuck it in my mouth. looked for my keys. couldnt find it in my purse. realized that i didn't have my id card in my mouth anymore. looked for it. found it in my purse. not sure how it got there again. keys were in my backpack. now im in my dorm alone bc shannon is in socal.

anyways, the retreat was fun overall, and i learned some stuff. im a little iffy, but we'll see what happens.

lately, i've just really had this desire to read the bible and get to know Jesus more. so i hope i do that without getting lazy :(

pushpushpull!

wednesday: went to go see pushpushpull for the first time; they're really good! i would have bought their cd to support, but i didn't bring any money :/. went to late night for the first time ever with celeste. i love herr! seriously though. we went and she taught me how to knit while we ate waffles and cookies. we started talking about what qualities we'd want to look for in a guy. i don't know, it was really nice talking to her. after that, we went to the study lounge to finish up some homework. she was typing up an essay, and i decided to stay up with her so she wouldn't feel lonesome :). we got distracted a lot with youtube videos. haha. went back to dorm at 4-5am? fell asleep and i kept waking up confused. haha it was weird.
thursday: went to english class then went to sorrento to turn in our apartment app. forms. took a nice, refreshing nap when i got back. then went to eat dinner at dc with brother. it was korean night! but psh, that food is not real korean food. but what can you expect? gotta sacrifice quality for quantity sometimes! went to chem and math discussion afterwards. got back to dorm to work on my first official essay in college. hahah. i think im done, but i keep trying to find ways to perfect it. oh well, hopefully i will be done soon :)

excited for retreat!

hello sunshine!

talk about ideal and perfect weather. 70 degrees today; sunshine with hints of breezes. my favorite :) today was jasmine's dad death anniversary. its so hard for me to imagine what it would feel like to lose someone i loved. she's such a strong person, and im glad God has helped her to become a beautiful, strong and faithful follower in Christ!
went to one class today-english. i think im starting to like shakespeare more. a little bit. haha. mm afterwards, went to the MU to get my money. i bought my asa book for 45 dollars last quarter, and i sold it for 47.50. im feeling rich ;)
afterwards, did some studying. went to dinner. indian theme today. the music was very interesting. reminded me of david choi and benny lava :D. after that, went to legos. i really liked the bible study today :) i really like picking at passages in the bible. really makes you think, learn and understand more. after that just hung around with the freshmen then took escort service back to tercero. took shower and here i am. time to study for my mushroom class :l

feeling unproductive.

so today, woke up at 8:30 and felt so so tired. dead tired. so i ate yogurt before i left for class, and i thought that would suffice for a couple of hours, but nope. i had to find out the hard way. i went to my sas class, and ten minutes before class ended, my tummy let out the biggest growl ever. sigh. i felt more was coming, so i just left and went to my dorm to eat a granola bar. HHAHA. sad. but yeah, then went to math. i wrote like nothing down because i didn't learn anything. my calc teacher is so nice and sweet, but i don't learn anything from him! afterwards, went to lunch with shannon, celeste, brittney, and agna. then celeste, shannon, and i went to sorrento to waitlist for sorrento. i think it's going to be really expensive. i know celeste loves it there, but my priority is price and not spaciousness. im paying for all this myself, so the less, the better yeah? we'll see. then came back and i took a fat nap. felt good, but then felt so lazy afterwards. i think napping is bad. i didn't go to the arc today! i need a schedule. i think im not a spontaneous person; i'd rather have a schedule and stick to it so i'll just do it. hahha boring much? shutup.

watched yes man with jasmine and shannon on my laptop. clay and alvin came to visit. kind of weird. but whateverr. i need to make a schedule so i can follow. english homework time :/

gimme a jingle if you wanna mingle ;)

haha i love how we talk gangsterly

woke up at 8:30 and got ready for church. went to university covenant church today with the future housemates. the service was alright. we always sit in the back, and im not a big fan of that. oh well! the speaker was a missionary who was talking to us about going on missions and such. afterwards, we went outside (it was super cold in the morning) and ate cookies and hot chocolate. at 11, we went to college class and had more cookies. haha. but i really liked the message. we focused on phillipians ch.3. i think i really like picking a certain section from the Bible and really reading, analyzing and understanding it. i REALLY liked it. haha. but yeah after college class, we went to sushi nobu. or is it nobu sushi? no se. but it was delicious :D. after that, we all went to my dorm and hung out for a while. we had a 'mandatory nap time' before we went to go buy froyo at yoloberry yogurt. yumyum. we sat down, but then we saw a family with 4 kids waiting for a table, so we just sat outside on the benches. it was cute. hahah we did the wave, kinda. we walked back to my dorm and celeste and i started making conversation in spanish. we looked at bedrooms at ikea. eek. so excited to decorate my side of the room. HAHA. actually, i don't think it'll be that pretty at all. im a college student on a budget, yo! we're probably going to live in sorrento, so yay :). it's a bit expensive, but i think it'll work out. went to dinner with them a bit later. then came back to our floor and looked for jasmine's id. but we found it so it's all good! took a shower and now im about to tackle my math homework :)

ohmygosh. on a side note, the commercials for 'marley and me' are so deceiving. happy family film my butt. good movie though; just sad :(

apartment hunting.

so today woke up around 10:30 and ate brunch with shannon, jasmine, and celeste. afterwards we took the j but to visit ray's apartment. it was kind of dark and small, but whatever .we went to the marketplace and they were having dog adoptions at petco! they were so cute :) then we went to pete's then headed back to the silo. then we took the w line to visit sorrento. sorrento is really nice, no doubt. very spacious with high ceilings. unfortunately, its a bit too expensive for me :(. we walked around and went to rite aid, then headed back to campus. the four of us went back to our dorm and did a bit of apartment research. yes. again. we couldn't come to a real solution, but :/. i wanted to nap, but no time because we had to go to christine's birthday dinner at silver dragon. yumyum the food was good :). afterwards, we walked back to tercero. we wanted the guys to do the "tell me" dance, but they just wouldnt :(. now im back in my dorm and watching marley and me!

tgif?

i dont know why i said that with such hesitancy. whatever.
anyways, let's see. what happened today?
went to class and ended around 1:00pm.
ate lunch with shannon, christine, and karen.
then shannon and i took the j line to almondwood apartments.
we got a little lost along the way, but we made it there in one piece.
so all is good :).
went to the office and waitlisted for almondwood; we're going to visit ray's place tomorrow and see if we like it or not.
then went to safeway and longs. bought wheat bread & shampoo/conditioner.
then bused back to campus and i took a nice nap :)
shannon went to dinner with celeste and jasmine, but i didn't feel hungry enough to go dc, so i just stuck with a pb&j!
went to aacf after that. after large group, aacf went broomballing. i didn't feel like going and im trying to save money, so yeah. shannon and i just went to jasmine's room (anthea is gone for the weekend), and chilled.

im hungry.

long day.

6 hours. back to back. one hour break. yay! hahah i think i have the most workload today. ate lunch with christine, her roomie, and her bf. chem lab! what a small world. my lab partner ended up being my friend's sister. she gave me some tips on apartment hunting. :) goggle tans suck.

went to dinner with celeste, shannon, and eventually jasmine. karen and misha from koinonia came and joined us for a while. there was korean bbq with kimchi; but it just wasn't right. hahah. celeste made me some freaking delicious hot chocolate. yumyum.

went to the arc with jasmine. we left at 9, came back around 1! no we're not crazy; i just did one hour of cardio, 15 minutes of racquetball, some upper body stuff and stretching. then we just went to the weight room and chilled for a while. hahah it was nice :) alvin can't stretch very well, but im sure he'll learn. AHH i wish i went to the free yoga class today, but i didn't. boo esther.

time to finish that english homework.

doh

i walked all the way the MU to sell my asa book, and then i walked back to my dorm. halfway, i realized that i was supposed to buy my chem 2b lab manual. doh. i would have walked back to buy it, but i was feeling lazy. haahh. today is a really nice day :).
so i think i should start blogging at the end of the day. otherwise, i have to keep on recapping on what happened the night before. like im going to do now -_-
yesterday, after i painted my nails and all that, celeste, jasmine, shannon and i went to dinner. food sucked that day. the only thing i finished was a grilled cheese sandwich. ooh actually they had really good dessert that day too. afterwards, we went to the arc. man it was packed. wait a couple of weeks, everyones' desires to fulfill their new years resolution to lose weight will eventually fade. hahah. this week, the arc is having free trials of different types of workouts. things like yoga, ballroom dancing, pilates, aerobics, and guts and butts! hahha. but yeah after the arc, we went to our dorm and watched funny videos on youtube, along with wondergirls' mvs and live performances. hahah. but we worked out for a good hour or so. we called the escort service to drive us to and from. it was cool! hahha.

then today, went to my english class. the teacher cusses a lot. i don't think he smiles :(. but yeah practically two hours of that class, twice a week. eek. my butt started to hurt after an hour. then went to the MU to sell yadayada.

ate dinner with the building, well, sort of. afterwards, jasmine, shannon and i went to white elephant for aacf. i received 4 packs of mentos and bamboo flavored seaweed. yum -.-. how deceiving though. the person enclosed it in a mint oreos box. boo. hahha shannon gave away two cans of spam. how generous! ended early, and i went to the arc alone :(. saw nguyen and my brother while i was there. wooo

wet nails.

so im waiting for my left hands' nails to dry right now. hahha. so i got back to davis yesterday, and i realize how much i miss my bed. hahah 3 inch mattress topper ftw! but yeah, i got back and i looked in my fridge; there were small black moldy things :(. i cleaned it, because my parents left and so obviously i couldn't make them to do it -_-. but just cleaned up all my stuff, and then had dinner with celeste! it was fun; we got caught up and shared each other's excitement in moving into an apartment next year. whoohoo :). anyways, afterwards we went to my dorm and we looked up different apartments online. we have 5 options! south davis: tanglewood, sorrento; north davis: almondwood, chaparral; west davis: portage bay apartments. so we're going to go apartment-touring this saturday. woot woot! then jasmine came over, and then eventually shannon came too :). its kind of nice being back here. it was such a nice day too.

today, on the other hand, is sprinkly and gloomy :(. first day of winter quarter! classes weren't too bad. 9:00 chem; 10:00 science and society; 12: calculus. and that's it! :D :D. had lunch with shannon, agna, and brittney afterwards. then i did my calc hw, which took way too long. and now im here painting my nails and blogging. the end!

almost time to go.

one more day and i'm back in davis! im actually glad to be going back so that i can sleep in my bed :). i need a spending ban because i feel like i've been spending a lot of money. after i pay for my retreat, no more spending! i don't think that'll be too much of a problem because there's not much to spend money on up in davis. harhar. i also really want to eat healthy + exercise on a daily basis! i ate too much candy today :x. today andrea went to get her hair cut, and i tagged along :). rawr i don't have internet service at home. oh well. yesterday we watched mamma mia, which was a really cute movie. then today, we watched good luck chuck and 21.

the first post!

2008 is over, 2009 is here! out with the old, in with the new. bye bye xanga. hello blogspot! it just seems that blogspot offers a more simple layout, so sure, why not :) so i was sleeping over at dianna's house 12/29/08 and we were reminiscing about what happened each month during 2008. i couldn't remember ANYTHING. darn my horrible memory. so i decided to blog about my day every day (if i can) no matter how trivial or redundant the days may seem. so let me just do some catching up for my own sake.

winter break -went to socal to visit uncle, aunt, and baby jacob :) december 16-28. yeah i spent a large portion of my winter break there. i loved it though! i got my own room and we went around to different malls like the irvine spectrum and mission viejo. i helped take care of the baby since my auntie is going to be welcoming baby julia into the world in about 4 weeks. i think i want to live in socal when i get older :D. -after i came back from socal, i slept over at andrea's house. hahah i seemed to do a lot of that during winter break too. very thankful because she is saving me from having to sleep on the floor and listen to my parents' harmonius snoring. -sleeping over at dianna's house was fun because we played mahjong and made brownies! we also ate strawberry cheesecake icecream. drools*.
new years eve, i went to st. augstine's with gfc. omg i haven't been there at all this whole winter break. it was cool seeing everyone again :) :) :). we ate sesame ball thingies. yumyum. i remember feeling kind of disappointed with certain youth because i noticed that the young kids and old kids were still kind of separated. sigh. whatever! i slept over at lila's that night.
new years went to a2f dinner. made dumplings! man that night was a nightmare. my dad was being such a meanie (for lack of a better word). sigh. but andrea saved the day! (and justin too :D) now andrea and i are in her room blogging. hhaha.
