*Yawn* *Gurggle*

I woke up this morning and you were on my mind. You have heard that song right. Anyway, I do not know what was on my mind when I woke up. I think only the need to be cleaned up and find food. That is the animal instinct talking here because I am starving. I wonder if my mom bought some “yummy food� to quote my brother. I could actually use more sleep but it seems that I cannot sleep later than 10 a.m. This can be a bad thing. I miss the 12 hours or more that I sleep. I long for that again. Forget naps and give me my 12 hours or more back! Give me my 12 hours back! Someone please! This is my rant and rave of the day.

Another boring Saturday...

What did I do today? I woke up about 10 a.m. and then just decide to see if was fully awake or not. I then decide why not get some sushi for lunch. So I walked in the cold I have no idea what the temperature was. I was wearing capris and a short sleeve shirt thinking that I if I walked down there I would be warm. I was so wrong. I found my paper that I wrote a couple of semesters a go that the same professor who I am taking another class with has given the same assignment. I do not know if I can plagiarize my own work but I will make changed to it.

It is 65 degrees but it feels like 50! I know that is a bit of an exaggeration but I get cold easily. I need heat and sweater or jumpers and silk blankets to keep me warm. I also forgot that I need socks on my feet to keep them warm. I suppose now I will work on my paper or clean up my room. How can I clean it up more you ask? Easy I do that and move stuff into storage. I have too much stuff on my desk. On the other hand, Adam calls it hiding. :P I have cleared my desk of a couple of things since I have gotten back from the UK. I wonder if I can turn on the heat. It is cold! It is bloody freezing. Maybe I should put on a jacket or something. Duh! I suppose from the way the weather is changing it has to be fall now. I will just have to deal with it.

Up at 5.45 a.m.? NO!

What did I do today? I woke up at 5.45 a.m. but I did not get out of bed. I turned off the alarm and went back to bed. I only woke up again because the doorbell rang. That might be a problem every Friday. Unless I stop setting my alarm for 5.45 a.m. on a Friday to wake me, up. I then go up before my alarm went off.

I went to my appointment to get my eyes checked as a follow up with my contacts. I passed with excellence. In addition, I have 20/20 vision now. I am not sure about my glasses. I might get laser vision correction. I mean I am really getting tired of putting contacts on and off and having to clean them. I know disposable ones are more idea but I think that is unfriendly for the environment. Nothing else really happened to me today.

Driving slow and a good thing too...

I did not add any classes. The one that I would have added I ended up ditching. I did not want to wait that long. Half an hour is too long for me. I filled up the tank with gas or petrol. I was surprised that it was. I took my time going home. I did go fast a little but I mostly took my time. When I was annoyed with people that went slow, I changed lanes and went faster. When I was driving back, I saw a C.H.P. (California Highway Patrol) car parked because there was work going I am hooked on the new library. Checking out DVDs, movies, books, and going there to chat with my laptop. I also checked out something like a book on tape of how to learn some basic Japanese.

On the drive back I was listen to a how to learn Japanese tape. It is somewhat hard since I know some of it but just hard to say other words. Well next Thursday I might have to pick up my brother from school but I do not care. That is one thing I hope I do not forget or he will be angry.

The end of the first week of school

Last day of classes for me, this first week, and I debated to end my week early. I drove relatively slow today and I parked somewhere else. So I am Nowhere near those odd people on 8th street and walking past Albertsons all the time. It was not a Miata as I thought but a small Honda convertible. I saw one on the freeway today so that is how I know it was not a Miata. I just made a guess and wanted to clarify it. Honestly, this morning I did not want to get out of bed. I just thank god it is Thursday. I hope today is an easy day and that it ends well. Maybe I will head to Cupertino to get some milk tea.

It's Hump Day

It is not what you are thinking for those of you with a dirty mind. You know who you are.

I woke up no problem today. Although I was tired. Today was not bad. I have an easy day with a few minor problems. One I did not get the work I out I wanted. Two I got parked into a spot where a Miata type car blocked me from behind making it kind of difficult for me to get out (because I can’t parallel park I always park where I can just pull into it or back up into it.) three my class was so boring! I wanted to sleep. I did not understand the reading because I speed read. Not good but not bad either since I was pressed for time. Coming back there was a slow car. I hated it. The driver was a middle-aged man. I wanted to flick him off. I restrained from doing so.

My computer restarted yet again. I was watching Friends and it decides to restart. I guess I am going to school tomorrow. I do not want to, but at least it means that I will have more classes before my later afternoon one on Tuesday. I will finish watching this episode of Friends and then head to bed.

More awake and refreshed?

I ran into some old friends from last fall. Odd how one of them said I look more alive. I know I am not dead tired. Maybe that phrase about early to rise early to bed is true. It is hard not to go 80 on the freeway. I do not want to, but I am forced to. No accidents today and a good parking spot so it has been good. I almost wanted to parallel park, but I did not feel like it. I had the same feeling as yesterday. I could have parked closer but I did not want to risk it.

Well must sort out classes that I am going to take and those that I will drop. Expand my horizons if I must. I will add more when I get home.

5.45 a.m. really?

Yes, I did get up at that time. I actually got out of bed at 5.50 a.m. I drove to school. I went at a reasonable speed at 80 miles. I did almost hit a car…but my bad! I found parking and got to school at almost 8. Well I had to find parking and there was a line getting off the freeway. Went to my classes and I get to be a TA and Now I can workout if I want to but I will. That will keep me motivated to go...and now I do not even have to take a final! Yay!

The bad thing about today is that I found out I have to drop like three classes. I also have to figure out what I am going to add if I can at all. What classes and not everyday ones…that is insane. Traffic coming back was not that bad. Maybe I the time I came back was good. I had to pull the car shade down because it was blocking me…how bad is that? Tomorrow I get to do this all over again. Is commuting fun or what?

Up at 10.20 a.m.

I had one too many desserts (mango pudding and two slices of cake) which probably has 600 calories. How much is that? Must go walking today I must. I went walking. I did not go to where I usually go because it was just too hot. I went only part way. I walked to 40th avenue and had to head on back. Too hot to go to the beach plus there is no shade at the beach so I would only end up with sunburn or something. I walked 2.84 miles. Not bad at all. I hope I worked off the dessert I had yesterday. 88 degrees is the temperature currently.

What have I done since I went for my walk? Surf the internet but that is a given, cleaned the car (the one I am driving ;) ), and parked the car which I still have to work at. I am not looking forward to going to school tomorrow. I do not know if I have the locations written down. Hmm might need to work in a workout schedule in there somehow. Otherwise, come home and do my walking…though I do not know if I will want to walk after coming home.

Awake at 2.30 a.m.?

Last night I do not know if there were any funny moments. The only one that I can think of is that at the wedding reception when chopsticks or forks hit a plate, a cup, or a glass that means the bride and groom have to kiss. Now mind you that there was maybe that happening about 10 times total. The last one the bride sent her brother and sister in law to represent her side. The groom sent his older sister I believe to be his representative.

Oh and the waiters at the restaurant were nuts. They kept on refilling the red wine in each person’s glass regardless of if they wanted it or not and kept opening the sparking cider and 7Up. I have never seen people try to be that helpful. It is outrageous. They did not want to you eat the food but to get full on cider and 7Up. The food was overall not bad. The cake was definitely different. There were three kinds. One was coffee tasting, chocolate, and I heard there was also strawberry.

The night was enjoyable since I was able to spend time with my little cousins. They are so cute when they are under five. It is not because you can control them not in a bad way, but because they are just easier to handle or take care of. I guess it is the cycle repeating. They took care of me now I am taking care of their kids. I wish I had a digital camera so that I could take pictures of all of the little cuties!

It is 6 a.m. and I am still in bed?

I woke up today at 6 a.m. I went back to sleep. I knew I had to e up by at least 9 a.m. that did not happen. I only woke up when I heard the doorbell rang. I suppose it was because I was having this dream where everything that was happening to me had to be stress related. It was one of those I am going to get even with you but then I got caught and punishment had to be placed on me. It was not my fault though. I woke up to find out what happened though. Scary.

I went to the church that they filmed Bedazzled with Bandon Fraser being handcuffed out of. then I went off to have some lunch. I was tired when I got home about 30 minutes ago. I am still yawning from lack of sleep. I don’t know if I can last until tonight. I’m sure there will be dancing.

4.02 a.m. or was it really 6.11 a.m.?

I woke up this morning at 4.02 a.m. for no reason. Then when you get back to sleep, you just do not want to get up. That is how I was feeling I just did not want to get up at all. Well off to go walking a while. I just hope it does not rain.

So I did not go walking as planned. I ended up at my mum’s work doing ‘volunteer’ work. Nice way to spend my last day of holiday, really it is not. I do not know if I have what it takes to drive everyday. That is only because I drove back today and I could barely park the car. Depressing I know. Well I am in for a long day tomorrow.

6.02 a.m. and nothing to show for it

I woke up at 6.02 a.m. I know what a record right? Well I was up until a little after nine in the morning when I decided that I needed a nap. I took a nap that lasted a little over four hours! So I woke back up again at about 1.10 p.m. boy did I need it. I was starting to feel the drain for lack of sleep and getting up early. The only problem is if this was really a Thursday I would be so awake by now from the dancing.

Now I am having my milk tea to wake me up and to finish cleaning my room and the other stuff that I took elsewhere because I did not want it in my room anymore. Then I plan to do the stuff that is on my ‘to do’ list.

Too much cleaning or just really bored?

Let me see after I came home from my nice walk to almost the beach I was wondering when the deliveryman (UPS) would show up with what I bought. He came and I was then relived to finally be able to start some serious cleaning or my friend Adam calls it “hiding�. I worked on my closet. I thought I have not given it a fair shot and I did not like what I did to it last time so I am changing it again. This time more of my shoeboxes are in the closet (cupboard to you English people) and not under my bed where it was.

So I made a mess outside and I have to clean it up, but at least I was able to get rid of paper bags and gift boxes. I had so much junk. I cleared my shelf so I have three quarters empty. I was surprised how much dust accumulated. Well I am not surprised because I have not hoovered it for a while. I suppose I will finish one episode of Azumanga Daioh. And fold my laundry. *sigh*

6.03 a.m. again!?

I woke up at 6.03 a.m. again this morning. It was not that hard but it just seemed that way. I know I went to bed roughly about one a.m. I should have gone to bed earlier. I figured out that I could not sleep at about 1 am and be refreshed for a Wednesday. And if I will be driving people should be well rested. I cleaned my room some more. What is up with my cleaning? I do not even have answers for myself.

All morning long, I have been sneezing. I wonder if I have a cold. I should be changed and start walking. I should also fix the television set because it likes to become ugly. The connect wires or something must be set up wrong or the connector. After walking I should come home and just relax.

Night night and sleep tight

Its bed time again. Once again, I will get up early and hopeful I will not be a klutz as I was today. Maybe I will go for a walk tomorrow. I think I need to walk the 3 miles and then some. Night night and sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite. I should have gone to bed when my friend did. Oh well. Oyasumi nasai (sp).

Is it "cleaning" or is it "hiding"? Something to ponder...

It is the afternoon now. I do not know how I survived with a posting to CL and still managed to stay awake. I am not as tired as yesterday, but still bored. Therefore, I decided to rearrange my room and clean it. Ok cleaning it is part of it…the other half is hiding stuff. All day I have been cleaning or organizing stuff. Man next time I post up I shall be more specific. The oddest thing is that I found out this one guy I met on some online dating thing actually posted something. Well I guess the norm. I only managed to move some stuff around and threw away very little. I am never going to get rid of stuff. I am a pack rat.

Who would have thought…

Who would have thought that Tuesdays are harder to get up than Mondays. I did not. I thought that Tuesday would be easier. I guess it is because I was prepared for it. Doing it a couple of says in a row is quite hard. But I only have to do it 4 times a week. At least keep it up for the rest of the week just to have the habit. So it would be everyday that I rise at 6am. The time I get out of bed would vary. If that is the case then I would have to set my alarm for 5.45 a.m. 5.45 a.m. you say?! That is insane! I know more insane than getting up everyday at dawn. What I need is a game plan. Go to bed earlier. I will have to head to bed at 10 p.m. if I cannot get up after just 5 hours of sleep.

You could say I woke the house up with a bang! I forgot to leave the oatmeal uncovered and so I heard It over flowing and ran back into the kitchen. I managed to trip over the rubbish bin (it is not that big) and made it fly about five feet or so. I wonder if I should go for my walk today.

An early night...

At about six in the evening, more or less I was worn out. I mean I was dead tired and running on low. I cleaned my room a little or made a couple of changes. It does not look too different but it is a little neater. What do I do now? Get cleaned up and then come back and watch anime! Yay! Sounds like a wicked idea. *grin*

I decided to look up how many miles I actually walked. It was 3.66 miles. That sounds similar to what I walked in Bath everyday to school. I am not sure but it could a little bit off. Well I got all cleaned up! Now I am more refreshed and could stay up for hours on end. However, I will not. Oh, I talked to some bloke on CL. I just thought why not I am bored, I am tired, and I need something to pass the time. I miss spelled your without the ‘r’ how sad is that? I do not know if he caught it but I did when I reread the subject. I suppose I will head to bed at about midnight after watching The Tonight Show. I need to find out about people who are engaged to be married or have an anniversary with silly names.

A walk to the beach and then yawning on the way back from the beach...

Well I came back from walk now for about an hour or so now. I am tired to be honest but it was well worth it. It only took me about 30 minutes to walk to the beach but it took me 45 to walk back. I could not see well walking down to the beach. Then walking back it was about the same. My eyes never did adjust to the contacts. It has been about two hours since I have had them on and I can see well with one eye but the other is blurry. Not good for me and I might end up passing on these and getting ones that are more comfortable and or help me see right away.

Six (6) a.m. wake up by alarm and going strong...but for how long?

It is about 8.09 a.m. and I am still awake. *GASPS* that is right. I am up. I woke up at 6 a.m. when the alarm went off. I did not get out of bed until um... 6.03 a.m. or something like that. Well I am heading off to go for a walk. Yes a walk. I need to burn some fat. I have become “fat� to put it nicely. So, off I go to go walking but not before making a walking cd to listen to while I walk all the way to the beach. That is the plan.

One afternoon turned into a night of chatting...as if that was anything new.

After posting an ad on CL I actually got excessively many replies. I just replied to a couple of them and the rest well I just trashed. The ones that were too old anyway and the ones that were weird because I know I got one weird one from this one guy who posted an ad and I was like pass. I have to take the ad off. I did not know there were so many desperate and bored people out there until I posted that ad. I suppose it is because I was a girl. I wonder what would happen if I posed as a bloke instead? One way to find out is to do it. =) Well off to bed before I have to get up at 6am to begin my day.

Obsession with blue...

How do you like the new blue theme? They did not have enough blue so I thought I would take it into my own hands and make it bluer. As if it was not obvious blue is my favorite color because it shows on my website, what do you think? And if this is the second post in less than an hour I must be really bored. When is Queer Eye for the Straight Guy going to be on? When?!

Proper Sunday

So, what did I do this morning when I woke up? Yes you read right I typed morning. It was roughly about a quarter until 12 noon. I had to clean and my friend said that when you clean it is actually hiding stuff. He was right. In addition, I hoovered the carpets just incase and not knowing what I was doing because I was not fully awake. I only woke up because I heard the phone ring. Yes, the phone rings at my house and I do not answer it. I just ignore it.

Therefore, I out the final changes on the house looking ‘clean’. I had to entertain some cousins that were under the age of 12 I believe. It is hard let me tell you that. One is a noisy little girl or nosy. Te boy is not tactful. My brother pointed that out. My room is spotless but it will get back to the way it was soon. Now I am tired and yawning as I am blogging. I should head back to bed. On the other hand, find someone to chat with. Maybe I will post up an ad so I have someone to talk to. More will be written if I remember later.

Middle of the night and I am still up...

Azumanga is sooooo addicting. Well I went out last night. Shocker right? Well I went to Chinatown and saw the night fair thing that they have. It was interesting. It is similar to a street fair except there is more stuff to buy and it is more cramped. I had a strawberry sundae and it was yummy! I was starving from eating I do not know what I ate actually. Wait I know. I had dumplings.

I came home and decided to finish off an e-mail but not before checking out what my friend wrote about something that we were talking about. I actually answered another personal ad. You know CL and eBay are addicting. Answering ads or finding someone. Whoever came up with this is a genius. Well I am off to bed at a somewhat early hour. More to come later today!

My five minutes with the recycle bin...

Maybe I should change the title of the blog to my vida loca. I was thinking about that since I know now what it somewhat feels like to be homeless. Well not the parts about no home or clean clothes but looking through the trashcan. Yes, I had to do that today. Not fun. You know the city of San Francisco should really not make them that tall (or it could be that I’m short and could easily fit into one of those things) so that a child could fall in. I hate people that inconsiderate about how others have stuff.

I put the final changes to make the house look perfect for the guests that will come over tomorrow. I also spent the better part of 15 minutes trying to get my contacts off because I forgot how to take them off. They are ok, but not super fun to take out. I spend the day cleaning showerheads. They were disgusting. The one that is in my bathroom that I have to share was gross. Something I picked up from my host mum while in Bath, England. Thanks June! Well I suppose I should get started on my room. It does not look very great. I need to clean it up. I also had a go at fixing up the vacuum cleaner. No luck, although I know what is wrong with it. Better, wash the sheets as well so I do not have this pile by the side of my door and it it will be the first thing they see.

Azumanga rules! I am watching this anime. Pretty funny and the characters are so lovable. Ok better get cleaning or I will not make my deadline for tomorrow.

Slave labour and no milk tea =(

Hmm, What can I say? I thought I would update this thing more often as if I said I would. Instead, I forgot yesterday. A lot happened yesterday. It is not very exciting, but I will give it a shot at recalling all the events. First, I woke up at 10 a.m. from a nice buzzing nose from my alarm. I finally disarmed it and got out of bed at about 10.19 a.m. I was surprised to see that the vacuum cleaner collector for dirt etc. was cleaned out.

Next I hurried to get changed for my appointment for my new contacts. Yes I wear contacts, and I you didn’t know then you should have when you saw the pictures on my site. Well I ended up making there just in time with a little wait so I did not feel that bad. They felt funny but I got use to them. I did not have them on long because she wanted me to have them on for about an hour or two and what I was going to do next I could not have them on that long.

After the visit, I left and headed towards CompUSA. I was searching for the charger with rechargeable batteries and some TDK cds. No such luck because they were out. I could not find any anywhere. I could not be bothered to ask someone for help because I had to head off to my next location, OfficeMax. I was ready to buy my first digital camera. I wait in line only to find out they are all out. To top that off I could not find the cd cases that were on sale. They must have run out. Here is a tip for those of you that see it on sale, buy it on the first day or be stuck with nothing towards the end of the week.

After being disappointed in not having anything to show for my efforts, I decided that I would head to my mom’s work. I end up ‘volunteering’ or as I like to call it ‘slave labor’ because I do not look my age and I have been told that I do not. Therefore, I help. My mom’s supervisor said how I could be bored at the age of 22. I said if you are at home and finished organizing everything that there is then you run out of stuff to do, unless you just want to improve your room. I should do that. I keep putting it off. Ok back to why I was there. I was hoping that I would just hang around for a while, get a ride back home because I am lazy, and do not really like taking the bus. I end up working and helping them out some. Hey, at least I helped and did my share of volunteer work for the week, month, or even year. Well that is what I did during the daytime.

I come home trying to fix the remote for the car alarm so that it can activate and deactivate the alarm. I fail at it only because I cannot understand the instructions. Then later that night I put on my contacts like I was ordered to and taking them off became a challenge. I got the right one off without any problems, but the left one I could not get it off! To top that off it was stuck under my eye lid. That was the scary part. Eventually I got it off and I had to find my right one because it flew somewhere. I found it on the floor in the bathroom. Therefore, that was that. I could see for the most part when they were on. Maybe they will get better, but the oddest thing was as I was taking them off I could see well than when I had them on. They did make it appear as I was going to cry.

Finally, what I did last night was look on CL (Craig’s List) to see if there was anyone interesting to talk to. I actually found someone. We e-mailed back and forth until he had to go. In between doing that, I was watching anime. We ended at about 3 a.m. nice. I finished my anime and then went to bed because I had a slitting headache. So that is what happened on Thursday.

Tonight I watched the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and it was hilarious! I could not stop laughing! When the Fabulous Five made over Jay, I was laughing so hard. The set is fabulous! Jay was wearing a pin stripe suit with a black turtle neck. Jackie Chan was the guest for the night and he said he was lucky to get away from everything that happened. He was in Turkey and after he left there was an earthquake. After he left Hong Kong SARS broke out. He just left the East Coast and then there was the power outage. Jay asked him if was going to stay around for a while and he said yes. I hope so too because I do not want something bad to happen here.

New Blog!

What have I done today? Well I started a decent blog! I have a proper one now. Heh. I think that it is about time. I feel this one will allow me to maintain it easier and more often. The only plans that I have for today is to clean up the house some more and figure out why the CPU on my computer is always at 100%. I figured out why my computer was running so slow. It was because of Trillian. It was using up 97% of the CPU. I could not believe it! I might just have to restart my computer to see if that is the actual problem. I should probably link it up with my webpage. I will have to make a not of it on the old blog that I started.

New blog!

I created a new blog. I was just bored of the one that I had on here and so from now on everything is located here. This the place!

Somewhat productive...

What did I do today? I woke up somewhat early because I heard the doorbell ring. I then proceed to do a little bit of cleaning. I know that is not the ideal thing to do, but oh well. I also looked for textbooks for my brother when he could be doing it himself. I then helped find out or figure out what my brother needed to power the speakers he has.

Too much dust...

I spent so much time cleaning up the guest room and I’m tired. I had to deal with so much dust that it kept making my nose itchy. I also sneezed from the dust. No wonder why when I tried to sleep I had a stuffy noise.

Out to dinner...

Got up at 11.30 a.m. or so and then cleaned house and then went out to dinner. I was able to see the newest of my little cousins. He is adorable. I also was able to see other cousins that I see twice a year or three at most. The best dish had to be the lobster. I would say that I liked the fact I found five dollars! That was the best! It was just lying there in the street.

Waking up is hard...

Last night or I should say this morning I had a dream about what would happen once school started. I could see myself getting up early just to make hot water so that I could have my morning usual cup of milk tea.

Out at a bar...

I went out to dinner. What I did not expect was to head to a bar afterwards. I mean I kind of felt in place there, but since I was with older people I really did not fit in. I was tired at the bar.

Cleaning again...

I am going out to dinner tonight. I woke up and had a doughnut and it was good. Then I cleaned up my room. I reckon it needed it. Once a week hoovering is not so bad. I suppose it will not stay clean once school starts and if I had a part time job. I also hope I do not get sick of commuting to school.

Dentist appointment...

I have a dentist appointment today. I do not like going at all. Oh well. It was not too bad. I saw my little cousins. They ended coming to my house because I made it as a suggestion. I made the suggestion because my older cousin was in pain after she left the dentist office. Ouch! I was still in the office when she came back for a shot to get rid of some of the pain.

I went to meet someone...

I woke up early to get to meet someone. It was actually interesting. We got along and everything. I do not know if we will meet up again. He was nice, but not my type. I know I'm super picky. At the rate that I choose and meet people I will never find Mr. Right if there is one.

More cleaning...

I was awakening to the sounds of a Hoover. In addition, there were many phone calls. This was about half past twelve. I cleaned up my room a little because I felt that it was gross. It also needed it. I try to keep my room clean and dust free, but that does not always happen.

Dying hair and my fingernails turn colors too...

I woke up at eight a.m. for no reason. That was after heading to bed about four a.m. not fun at all. I just went back to bed until about one p.m. I have to make a note the next time I use hair dye I will have to put on gloves since I think the coloring is eating into my hand.

Driving that needs work...

I was not happy about getting up at about nine a.m. I was still tired and I know I needed to recover from Friday. I still feel my driving needs improvement. I drove on the freeway and I know sometimes that you have to change lanes because there are exits, but sometimes it is just nice to stay in the one lane. I don’t have the guts to pass people, but I am working on that.

No Todai for me...but slave labor instead...

I will start today by getting up early. I will then proceed to a contact lens fitting appointment to see which contacts are right for me. I will then later go and head towards the Mission District to go and see what is new at Old Navy. I thought I would head to Todai to have an ok crepe, but I ended up working. What a change from what I thought I would be doing. I resisted drinking so that I could drive home.
