This morning I woke up and thought great a rainy day. I have work to do but the weather is just depressing. I do not think that it will get up anytime soon. I got the brilliant idea of going out in the rain with a toothbrush with dishwashing soap on it to clean off the sap spot on the rear window. There is still a spot but not as big. I stopped after a while because I was getting wet and cold. I hope I can get ride of the rest later on. I suppose it is removable since it has been on for a fortnight now. All it takes is a little water and soap and it will come off.
Well my nice five to six page paper is still at zero. I should really work on it. I spent most of the morning and afternoon procrastinating. My mum is sleeping and she said she would head off to Chinatown, but that did not happen. I tried to talk to my brother, but since his door is closed I have to speak a little louder and my dad just keeps on saying be quiet, but if the door is closed then how will I communicate if he does not open the door? Am I right or wrong?
Well now I am going to try and work or start on my paper. I wonder what grade I will receive. The Lizzie McGuire marathon is not helping either.

Mi vida loca might be partly correct?
I wake up this morning not to any sounds but just because. It started off with a cop near Kezar who cut into traffic. I let them because why speed up and then get a ticket right? (Plus for some reason my brother is a cops magnet.) I drove past it but I was just cruising and not adding gas.
I wake up and I go with my brother to Office Depot, Best Buy, Office Max, and then Office Depot. Well we went to Office Depot to get an ad. Then we head off to Best Buy to get a price match. That did not happen. Then we went over to Office Max to see if they had anymore of those cordless phones, but they were all out. We did pick up some CD cases and I pick up pens because they are F.A.R. (free after rebates). Then we went back to Office Depot to see if we could purchase the PDA and then return it. They ran out.
The first time we were at Office Depot I went to Old Navy to see out the sweats. I tried on pair on, but they didn?t seem right. Then when we went back to Office Depot I went to Jamba Juice to get a Mango-A-Go-Go. It was nice.
Then I am driving back. Nothing can go wrong right? Wrong! I was at Kirkham and 17th and this father and daughter (not sure if they were but whatever) and I was about to go, but they cross. I stop right in front of them. To make things worse I was drinking my Jamba in one hand and then driving with the other. Therefore, I could have gotten a ticket, but I am sure that the officer might have gotten my plate in the time that it took for the people to cross the street.
I get home and my brother goes to pick up the food. I have to hold my Jamba (yes I drink slow even when I shared it) and two hundred CD cases (slim thank god) with one hand. I had to walk across the street and up the stairs without help. Now that is horrible. I then wolf down food after checking the status of my mum?s flight.
I leave at about 12.20 p.m. and I arrive at about 12.50 p.m. I think. I looked and I circled and I circled. I don?t know how many times but more than twenty. I did about 5-20 miles around the international terminal. That is a long time. I do not see my mum until 2.20 p.m. or something. It was ages and let us just leave it at that.
I get home and unpack all of her stuff. Because it someone has to do it and because I wanted to see what sort of goodies I had waiting for me. I got a box of milk tea. I mean a BOX, not the one that holds the little packets, but a whole box! YAY! I can have good milk tea and start up my habit of a cup a day.
I found lots of goodies and sampled everything that was brought back. I even opened the dried squid! Yummerz. Well my mum said that she would never fly Cathay Pacific because there were just too many Indian people. She complained there were children and they were noisy. Well that is the short version. I have to bring back the rest of the milk tea and the rest of the conditioner. Oh well.
That was my day and tomorrow will be more crazy. Family dinner in Oakland and a paper to write.

The rewards are greater if you try harder…
As I was driving it started to rain. Lucky it was not too heavy or I would have had to slow down. I did try to go slower, but my lead foot kept the car going at around 75-80 M.P.H.. At the freeway entrance for going on 280 around Burlingame a C.H.P. came out of nowhere. That really freaked me out. All the cars just started to go about 70 M.P.H.. I do not know if it was after a car or it just wanted everyone to slow down.
I finally found it…The museum that is. The maps or whatever you wish to call them that are all over Stanford are not that helpful. They do not have you are here because if they did they would be sweet and helpful. I thought this building I was in front of was it. it was not. Turns out it is a hospital. You can imagine my surprise. I was so close to the museum. I circled for what seemed like ages. I finally just parked the car and gave up.
I called for help or someone to keep my sanity. Thanks Herb for reassuring that I was not going mad and that I do know how to read a map and have some sort of sense of direction. (In a way I am like a guy. I refused to ask for directions because I had a map and everything else that I needed for this trip.) Well it turns out that the bloody museum was like behind the parking structure. They need better signs at Stanford. Who wants to get lost there? On the other hand, who wants to be on a minibus for a guide of the campus?
Where I had parked had meters, but I wonder if they would even check them considering it is a day after a major holiday. I did not want to risk it and luckily a car left and his meter had like an hour 10 on it. So I moved my car into that spot. Luckily, I got no ticket. The meters do not have to be fed after 4.00 p.m. so when I left I was not ok.
I spent at least an hour because I finally figured out on the map where the museum was. I was already to go in and work when I get stopped by security saying I cannot take my backpack there. She said put it into a locker. I was not going to leave my laptop there so I took it with me. I did not use it but just knowing I had it was good.
When I was inside working security comes in and asks me if I am using a pen or a pencil. Unless he was colorblind (which I am not sure of) I was using a pen. He said that pens were not allowed so I had to use one of those silly looking golf pencils. They were so annoying because I could not draw the way I wanted with them. I never thought that pens were not allowed in museums. Maybe because it is Stanford. If it were some other place, they would not care.
I went back to the car and left the campus. I left in one peace and never will I go there again. I drove home so fast out of Stanford you would think I was running away from some monster I had seen. As god as my witness unless I do not have to drive then I will go. I made it home in one piece going way too fast, but that’s how I’m driving now. Way too fast. I went from doing around 70 MPH to 80+ M.P.H.. oh there was a raccoon dead before the Burlingame exit. Something else was dead along the road and I swerved to avoid it.

My horoscope was dead on today! I mean really! My brother bought a PDA (Sony) and I surfed onto a site that has somewhat good deals on it (not as great as another, but ok) and I saw that it was cheaper at Office Depot. How 12 pairs of eyes (we all wore glasses and you know the expression four eyes) could not see that price listed in the paper was beyond me. I mean I only see it when I get home. How crazy is that? Well I told him so he could get some money back. My brother says that he is finally organized, well I told him about Sunday (we have a family dinner) and he said he would put it under advisement. I do not think that is being organized.

BF or DAT...
I awoke this morning at about 1.05 a.m. when my vcr was recording the Oprah show. For what reason it escapes me now. Then I woke up at about 3.10 a.m. and said forget trying to sleep, but rest my eyes is good. I was awake and nothing really happened while I was driving.
I did not drive like a crazy though I wanted to and there were more cars out than I had anticipated. The line for Best Buy was crazy. I mean there were people there at 4.00 a.m. I am sure. As I was about to enter the door this lady pushed me. It was not my fault and it was not my idea she be near the shopping carts. I mean I was just going with the flow. It is not my fault that she got shoved. And I told her off too. Who am I to care if I get arrested because I know people and that would they believe me (really innocent looking student) would push a lady who actually pushed me? Whom are they going to believe her or me?
Afterwards not successful in what I wanted to get I headed over to Office Max for a killing on stuff. Got one of the phones, cds, the flash drive, and cd cases. I think we got the pens too, but I do not know what else. It was insane because they did not have enough checkers and they limited the amount of people going in the store.
My brother was driving when we left Mervyn’s (yes I was too late and could not get the $5.00 shopping card. Oh well. I bought a couple pairs of shoes. Not bad. Nothing really special, and I wonder why they were taking down the signs that said extra 25% off the clearance price. How rude!
We decided to head to Clement street for food. Well more like take out and well something happen. My brother was parking and hit the car behind him. To make matters worse the owner yelled at him kind of. After that I drove. We also went to pick up some food and then dropped off his friend.
Well that is something is it not it? All that done in one day and all in about 5 and a half hours? Next year will be different.

Turkey day 2003...
Needless to day I can rushing with adrenaline for tomorrow. There is the free stuff and good deals out there. My shopping list so far: 400 black cds, two 2.4 GHz cordless phones, Altoid strips, cd visor holder, some RAM for my computer, slim cd cases, a microphone (can’t find the one I have and paid $3.00 for), a power strip with surge protection, pens, and another mini portable hard drive. Most of the stuff will be F.A.R. (Free After Rebates) or cost a little after rebates. Under $10.00 is a good guess unless the item is expensive. Mind you, I have not calculated the amount for the postage and also the tax, but still very good deals.
I actually programmed the universal remotes. It is just much faster to use the codes they provide instead of doing a code search. Whoever thought about just pressing one button forever is stupid. I now have a universal remote to control my TV, VCR, and even my stereo. Now I have sleep for my TV! I am so happy. Now I can watch TV and have it go off! Yay! So excited! I love the new remote!
Well I better shower and then get to bed because I have an early wake up.

My horrible day…
Ok it was not that horrible. I was able to access the internet while in “nap class” (that is Buddhism for those of you that do not know. While typing the notes my wrist started to hurt. So that is not good or ever a good sign. While in my other nap class I guess I was just stir crazy or something because I was awake but space. I continued this way when I was in the car.
I was going to buy a milk tea at this place called Hydration Co. on third street but I thought I’ll just swing by Cupertino to see if it makes a difference out of my drive. I start the car and I drive forgetting to put down the parking break. Yes I forgot. You would think I would not having driven for so long now. I forgot. I only noticed it when I saw the red light that said brake. So my bad on that one on forgetting the brake it happens so get over it!
I head to the gas station and fill up. I thought why not leave the way I usually do. But then this guy in a green Acura goes back on 11th to go on Santa Clara to turn left on 10th street. He was a genius at that point in my eyes. I thought I guess I will do the same thing. I exit on Santa Clara leaving from the gas station and scrapped the car (already suffered a little damage while I was getting the air gage thingy). I went to Albertsons to pick up more broth. Yes, I know we must have eaten a can or 10 by now. I leave and then head off to Cupertino for the milk tea.
It is not really out of the way. I just cannot stand speed bumps. I turn off the engine to find myself staring at the sky (I had open the sunroof while leaving from Albertsons and I forgot to close it) and I just said I’ll turn on the alarm and if someone steals the car oh well. I got back and the car was still there so nothing happened. The worse that could have happened was a bird flying by and going you know in it.
I arrive home to mail the letter (absentee ballot) and if I mailed it from San Jose I wonder what those people would think. Then I head off to the gas station to fill the tires with air. They were not even and so I made them even. The only bad part is I forgot which one needed air. I ended up filling them both up and so they should be even now. the only problem was when I was trying to back out and get out of the station this stupid little red Mercedes pulled up next to me making it hard for me to get out. It was embarrassing have the mechanic direct me out. It took me a couple of tries too to get out.
I parked the car and then I looked and I was too far away from the sidewalk so I had to re-park it. Now it is all perfect. Now I am just killing time until I head to CompUSA for their 6-hour madness.

I woke up to strange sounds?
I thought I was dreaming, but I was not. I heard water noises. I did not. What did I hear? I heard the noise of the heater going. It is quite amazing when you think about it how the heater and water can sound similar. I thought it was the tenant downstairs taking a shower (because I can hear the water being used). I was dead wrong. Then while boiling hot water (as I do everyday that I wake up early) I heard what I thought were water noises. Was I wrong again? Yes I was. This was at 5.30 a.m. only 15 minutes before I was suppose to get up.
The drive to school was odd. Yes odd is the perfect word. I had no idea why it was going so slow on 19th Avenue. I found out the reason was there had been an accident near Taraval. I was in the far left lane and was super happy when I did not have to change lanes. Everyone else thought that moving right would be better, but they were sadly mistaken. One charter bus thought that turning and then going on 20th or something would make it a little better, not so because I caught up with it in the end.
Driving on the freeway was not as painful as I thought. Back was fine but doing other things is another story. I was driving like a crazy person. I left the house at about 6.53 a.m. and arrived at 7.45 a.m. I know that does not seem like a long drive but for me it was. I was speeding (I know terrible since I vowed earlier in October or September to stop speeding) at up to 90 M.P.H.. I know that I run the risk of being caught by the C.H.P. and a fine of at least $300.00. I could not help it. Something drove me or inside of me said why not drive fast. Maybe it was those cars that felt the need to pass me as I was about to head on to 280 (around Alemany and Brotherhood) and I just wanted to prove that girls can drive fast too.
I was passing this Toyota at times and sometimes I was behind it. I guess you could say I was tailgating it. I passed it and I guess that sometimes it could not handle me tailgating it so much. I stopped and switched in front of it. I know badly me to rather make fun of the guy for driving slow.
I found parking and I am thinking about not filling up the gas tank. Maybe I will with a couple of gallons but nothing more. I am not doing a lot of driving this week and thought maybe it could survive without its weekly double fill up. It might need it since I have to go to the airport on Saturday. Oh what fun that will be.
I do not think I have many plans for today except go to Albertsons for more broth. I know I am stocking up on it as if it was a can food that you can eat when there is an emergency. My brother?s friend seems to think we drink that and or we fill up the car with it. So we buy a lot or I do or get others to buy it. the look of shock that will be on my mum?s face will be priceless. Although my dad has put some away in a box, somewhere the look on her face there will priceless as well.
Oh here is another odd story. I leave the house to find the front door key in the keyhole. That was a surprise for me. Yeah I do not think I will be feeling safe anytime soon. What if someone broke into the house while I was sleeping? I mean I do that too but it is in the daytime.

The drive to school was odd. Yes odd is the perfect word. I had no idea why it was going so slow on 19th Avenue. I found out the reason was there had been an accident near Taraval. I was in the far left lane and was super happy when I did not have to change lanes. Everyone else thought that moving right would be better, but they were sadly mistaken. One charter bus thought that turning and then going on 20th or something would make it a little better, not so because I caught up with it in the end.
Driving on the freeway was not as painful as I thought. Back was fine but doing other things is another story. I was driving like a crazy person. I left the house at about 6.53 a.m. and arrived at 7.45 a.m. I know that does not seem like a long drive but for me it was. I was speeding (I know terrible since I vowed earlier in October or September to stop speeding) at up to 90 M.P.H.. I know that I run the risk of being caught by the C.H.P. and a fine of at least $300.00. I could not help it. Something drove me or inside of me said why not drive fast. Maybe it was those cars that felt the need to pass me as I was about to head on to 280 (around Alemany and Brotherhood) and I just wanted to prove that girls can drive fast too.
I was passing this Toyota at times and sometimes I was behind it. I guess you could say I was tailgating it. I passed it and I guess that sometimes it could not handle me tailgating it so much. I stopped and switched in front of it. I know badly me to rather make fun of the guy for driving slow.
I found parking and I am thinking about not filling up the gas tank. Maybe I will with a couple of gallons but nothing more. I am not doing a lot of driving this week and thought maybe it could survive without its weekly double fill up. It might need it since I have to go to the airport on Saturday. Oh what fun that will be.
I do not think I have many plans for today except go to Albertsons for more broth. I know I am stocking up on it as if it was a can food that you can eat when there is an emergency. My brother?s friend seems to think we drink that and or we fill up the car with it. So we buy a lot or I do or get others to buy it. the look of shock that will be on my mum?s face will be priceless. Although my dad has put some away in a box, somewhere the look on her face there will priceless as well.

Still in pain =(
Well I do not know where my day went. I went and took a nap because I was tired and in pain. Hopefully tomorrow it will be better. I did change my sheets last night, but I doubt that was the reason. I find myself with another load of laundry to do. That is just horrible. I am done with my clothes that have been there for ages (you do not know want to know exactly how long) in the basket. Well I have school tomorrow and stuff I have to return. I will take it easy and head to bed now. Night.
An achy back…
I woke up with one and it is odd because I did not do any heavy lifting or anything of the like. I wonder if it was because I was doing some stretches yesterday and one of them was to help the lower back while I screwed mine up. Oh well. At least I am not driving today. I do not know what I would do if I had to drive and sit in the car. I know I did not sit funny driving last night. It might have been the way I slept? I do not know. I hope I get better before tomorrow.

I am having a bad day…
I just thought to myself I left the floppy with my paper that I am suppose to e-mail to everyone in the floppy drive in the language lab. I am so screwed. I am so pissed now. I do not even have an extra copy. This is definitely a bad day. I hope it is still there on Wednesday.
Then when I was walking back to the car this afternoon I thought I forgot to lock the doors. I am stressed. To top it off I come home to see the microwave with the pile of “donations”.
“Donations” are stuff that we do not want but will donate to a charity.

The cows are out…
Ok I forgot to put into my blog this morning that there were cows all around. I just did not hit one of them or tip one over (that’s against the law in CA). I was super stressed and I still am. I had a short temper/fuse today and it only got worse. I am sorry to those whose head I ripped off today.
I was up at about two something in the morning nearly three I believe. That might be a reason why I am so grouchy. And plus the fact I was sleeping in my class. Anyway after a good night’s sleep I should be fine. Or maybe because I had not eaten and it was three something when I finally went to turn in my paper.
Then I went to McDonalds for a little treat and because I was hungry. As I left this guy asks “ma’am (that is like one strike already) could you spare some change (that is two because I was hungry and tired and I did not need to hear me get called ma’am)”.
I fill up gas and then leave. I heard on the traffic report there was a car fire. I could see the smoke, but I thought that the car was not on 280. wrong I was so wrong. Yes I am not dealing well with road rage. Everyone stopped to check out the car fire! So annoying and I was just not happy with that little stop and go there. I am driving home and this car is going slow. I switch to the next lane to find him holding the phone and it is obvious he is on the phone.
Then I had to deal with this car that would not go and tailgaters are so annoying. I am almost home and the light is green but the traffic was not moving. So I honked. I was getting impatient. Then the car turns without signaling…and I thought good that I honked at it at first.
A rough day over all at least I hope I have the day off tomorrow.

Speedy Gonzales?
That is in reference to someone who thinks I walk to fast. You know who you are. I am sorry that I speed. Not only by foot but by car as well. at one point I found myself doing at least 90 m.p.h. on the freeway. So much for looking out for C.H.P. Total so far this week one. I will keep count of how many I see on a three-day week.
I left this morning at 6.51 a.m. from the house. I did not have to squeegee the windows because there was nothing to squeegee which is a blessing because it was darn near nippy out there. I arrived to find the perfect parking spot (no cars front or back just enough space for one car) and I did not think I would find such a spot on a Monday. I was just pure lucky. I arrived at roughly 7.40 a.m. even with the occasional burst of road rage in the beginning heading on to 280 and then the almost accidents because trucks think that they own the road and do not feel like they have to signal or speed up to cut out of the lane. Two accidents I had to avoid before heading off the freeway.
I am a klutz for those of you that do not know me by now from reading the many toes accidents I have had and also the coffee spills in the car. You can now add milk tea to that growing list. I was drinking thinking there was not that much left only to have it overflow in my mouth (you would think I had a big mouth since I talk a lot for those of you know I can keep my mouth shut sometimes) and it spilled on my jacket and on my steering wheel. I will defiantly have to remember to clean it up at the gas station. When I got out of the car it was freezing! I mean colder or as cold as San Francisco. The news reporter said it was 40 in San Jose and 42 in Cupertino. How is that possible? And my phone message alert said that it was 41 at about half past six in the morning. Who is right and who is wrong? One of life’s mysteries that will forever remain unsolved, unless you are a meteorologist and have the answer because you study the weather.

Good hair...
This is so off topic, but I am having a dam good hair day. It is even better than the day I went to the salon to get it blown straight. The guy did not how to do it. I have perfect hair. Or nearly.
Bored…
Yes am bored. I can think of one thing I should be working on but my wrist seems to disagree with me. I just set the chair a lot higher than it has been. I hope that this will help with my typing. So now I plan on working on my paper. I swear I turned off the heat like 3 hours ago. I mean the tenant downstairs is not even there so what is the point. It is not like I’m freezing. I mean if I was I’d turn it on, but it’s not so why is it on? I swear people think that gas is unlimited. He is a guy and guys can deal with the cold except when it happens then they are wusses. I guess could say that I could probably bake in my own room with the way it is set up. My desk is right under or in front of the heater. So if my feet are cold I can place it right under the heater to warm them up. If I am colder than that, I put on a pair of socks. I have already had breakfast/lunch and even my milk tea with a regular cup of hot tea. All this is not good for me, but I have drank water too. Just wanted a little change with tea is that a crime? Before I know, it will be 5.00 p.m. and my day will have been wasted.

Maybe a productive Saturday...
I woke up this morning and thought why am I up this early. Early was about 11 something in the morning. some people have been up and already had a productive day. I know what a lazy person I am. I was tired from staying up somewhat late. Nothing like hot tea and milk tea to warm you up when it is cold. I am so lucky not to get sick. *knock on wood* because if I was to get sick I would be miserable. In addition, I would be even more unproductive. However, sometimes I do get the crazy idea of doing work when I should. It is about quarter past five and I have nothing done. I showered and has me a cup of tea. Ok time to get to work on my paper.

Michelle Branch...
It was awesome! I enjoyed it. the high light might have been when I was moved from the seats that the usher told us to sit and then the actual seats we were suppose to sit at. So musical chairs was fun. Then this guy and his girlfriend were like nuts during the concert. He actually had a lighter and had it lit. that was crazy. He was like a fan I guess.
She sang her songs and even The Game of Love. I now want to get her cds. She got two caps and a Pooh bear. She said she was a San Francisco Giants fan and she loved gifts. It was really good. So the secret with encores is that after they finish they do a bathroom break and come back to sing a couple more songs. Some left before she came back thinking there would not be an encore.
The one guy with his girlfriend had to be the high light. He would stand up from time to time with the lighter. Like she could see him all the way up there with the bright lights on and this other guy stood up with him. These two girls stood up when she sang this one song for the whole time that she sang that one song.
Overall I had a great night. Had great company and great music. My voice did not go horse like when I went to see Westlife, but my ears were dealfish. I would go again and see her. When I head to Hong Kong, it will be time to go and purchase her cds.

What I've done today...
I have awaken toe the sun shining through the cracks of my blinds. I then proceeded to make a horrible lunch, as my brother would call it. He said I should know how to cook because of the stereotypes about women being good cooks, but most chiefs are male so?I don?t know. After eating lunch I decided to blog. So here I am. Nothing really interesting to report. My toe still hurts and I don?t know what else to report. It has been somewhat chilly here, but I wonder if I need to break out the sweaters, I wore when I was in England.

Not a good day...
I woke up at around 8 something in the morning. Reason: unmentionable, ok it was to use the bathroom. That is all I am saying. I went back to sleep and woke up at 12.19 p.m. I made food and ate Pringle and something else. I figured out how I got the canker sore. The Pringles from last night. Then I figure out I had a canker sore. I was making lunch and I get a phone call. I answer my phone, I am in the dining room, I was getting out of the chair, and I do now know how I manage to hit my toes (middle and ring). They swelled a little. I put ice on it. I do not know if it did any good, but hopefully.
Even though I had a canker sore I still ate fried foods. Not so wise. I just wanted Pringles. So I had the greatest pleasure of hurt toes and a canker sore. Not the greatest day in the world, but you know everyone has one of them. tomorrow should be better. I get to see Michelle Branch in concert! I can't wait! "I'm so excited, And I just can't hide it,"
I spend the evening or "primetime" cleaning my room. It was dirty and gross. I had to vacuum. Friends was good and I read what Family Guy might come back on TV. So those of you that are fans watch out for its return.

An easy drive home…
I ran into my friend Jon, who helped me through a difficult time. We talked about almost graduating and about Allan our other friend. He is almost out and I have no idea if I can or not. Then I proceeded to e-mail everyone that my phone had died. Then I jetted back to art class to learn more stuff. I had a hard problem staying awake. I think because I was awake for the Buddhism class and this subject was just not interesting. After class I headed off to Super Taqueria for a burrito. I think I ate that burrito in about 15 minutes or something because I was hungry. I then went to fill up gas. The card worked! I swear I think it was the system. Then I left and headed home.
I figured out how to use the cruise control. I used it today on the drive home. I think I used it to go to school too, but it just freaked me out so I stopped using it. it was fine going home because there were not a lot of cars, but cars kept passing me and this one BMW was tailgating me. I had to go up to about 90 M.P.H.. I slowed down once the BMW passed me by. I kept on for a long time on cruise control. I went to the mall to get a price adjustment. I was so happy! I then drove home to find out I had a headache. Well I think it is from lack of sleep and all the stress that I have with school.
I went to the post office to mail the package and picked up a package. I had no idea that I would get the space right in front of the post office. That was ironic. So all in all I got everything done except buy broth. Oh well. Time to head to bed. Night!

Nothing interesting to report...
The only thing that was interesting was the fog around San Mateo. I was driving about 85 m.p.h. at one point. I do not think that was wise, but if you knew me then that is how I drive sometimes. I did drive a little reckless this morning or yesterday while was drinking water. Actually, I think I was recapping the water bottle. I swerved into the lane next to me. I did not hurt anyone, but still reckless.
I left the house at 6.53 a.m. or started to drive at that time. I missed the light and so I had to wait. I was somewhat furious. However I did arrive at school at 7.43 a.m. and I did use cruise control a couple of times this morning, but it is rather scary when you think you might hit the car in front of you.
I have a ton of errands to run and I am still debating whether I should go ahead and mail the package today or wait until tomorrow. I would have to find parking and I would like to have some Taco Bell if I could. I have been craving Mexican or imitation Mexican food. I still have to head to the mall to get a price adjustment. You could imagine how I felt after I found out that the sweatshirt I bought was cheaper a week later.

My miserable grade…
Ok so the easy class I was getting at least a ‘B’ in is now a ‘C’. Why may you ask? Because I failed, a quiz last week and I know I did but not that badly. I am so now in danger of repeating this semester again.
I watch a couple of episodes of Naruto. I just did not feel like watching “O”. I want to sleep. I should prepare for bed then go to sleep when Queer Eye is over. Better, go and get ready for bed.
I also have a load of laundry going. There is sill one more if you believe it.

Laundry update and morning drive…
The laundry update is that I did fold some of it. the rest was just tossed back into the laundry thing. The morning commute was odd. I left the house at 6.53 a.m. and arrived at 7.43 a.m. That is a four-minute difference from yesterday. I found parking which is always good. I can’t believe that mornings are so difficult. I had a hard time getting out of bed because I did not want to believe that it was 5.45 a.m. already. The toughest part about school I guess is the commute. Ok that is a total lie, but the papers that I have to write and the exams I have to take. The best part about school is leeching off the T1 connection.
I do not know if I should make anymore Albertsons runs to buy chicken broth. I mean do I really need more than the seven dozen cans that I have bought already? Maybe will ask my aunt if she needs any, however I do not have a lot of beef cans. It does not matter anyway since it goes down the same way right. I do not know if I can watch “O” on my laptop since the DVD drive is really loud. I should at least try or get the video! Aww but I hate rewinding. Oh well.

Ok not Herb's fault...
Just want to retract what was said earlier because I am too lazy to edit it. Not Herb's fault, but somewhat his fault. So I am sorry.
The highlights from lack of sleep…
I was going on lack of sleep today. I B.S. my presentation and I never did make the eight pages for the rough draft. I thought I did a bad job but to my surprise I did not have any questions only because class was about to end. Did I mention I ditched my T.A.ing for the day? I was in my art history class and I wanted to sleep. I was just wiped out. I was also hungry. I figured I had to go and print out the rough draft and then turn that in then head on over to the library to pickup a few items.
I then walk back to the car thinking I can just go to Super Taqueria to get some food and then go home. I walk to the car, head to the gas station and fill up to find out they don’t take Discover anymore. Arrg. Then I had to pay with cash and if I have to pay with cash I will be poor faster. Then I head to Albertsons to make a dash for more chicken broth. I only bought a dozen because my feet hurt.
I left and then went to pick up food. Oh glorious food! Not to eat it right away but when I get home. I drive home and I head to the mall. I exchange my favorite shirt (they’re all out because HERB DID NOT TELL ME IT WAS 60% OFF) and so I was left coming out empty handed. I decided to ask the AT&T dealer what I can do about my phone. The guy said you can get a new phone. I said I don’t know who’s the phone under. He just kept on asking me if I knew the last four digits of the person who was the owner of the phone’s social security number. I said no.
Then he asked if I was 18 and I said yes. He said ma’am (he called me ma’am and not miss what a way to not make a sale) and said that the Panasonic phone was like a Toyota and the Samsung was like a Honda. You have one phone that is not top of the line and one phone that is top of the line. Bad car analogy and if I did not know anything about cars I would be lost.
Then goes to tell me that my phone will not work or will be old (it is already three years old and so I know it is old that is why I am looking for a new phone duh!) and no longer in use. He said that GSM would take over. He also said that GSM was based with a satellite. He said that if I was to drive using my phone down Highway 5 I would get no signal sometimes but with the GSM I would because it was “satellite”. That is a total lie and I do not know where he got his training. He said so much stuff that he was B.S.ing about and though I did not know any better on what I wanted and trying to sell me the high price phone. Why bother with a con artist when I can order online without the con artist? I left and said thanks.
I go home and wolf down food. Yummy! I loved the salsa. So fresh and not spicy. Good carne asada. After eating I felt like a beer so I took out a Stella. Man I was buzzed for a while and I was cursing. Bad aren’t I?
I finally picked up the load of laundry I had washed and dried yesterday. I have not folded it yet, but I plan to.

Then goes to tell me that my phone will not work or will be old (it is already three years old and so I know it is old that is why I am looking for a new phone duh!) and no longer in use. He said that GSM would take over. He also said that GSM was based with a satellite. He said that if I was to drive using my phone down Highway 5 I would get no signal sometimes but with the GSM I would because it was “satellite”. That is a total lie and I do not know where he got his training. He said so much stuff that he was B.S.ing about and though I did not know any better on what I wanted and trying to sell me the high price phone. Why bother with a con artist when I can order online without the con artist? I left and said thanks.
I go home and wolf down food. Yummy! I loved the salsa. So fresh and not spicy. Good carne asada. After eating I felt like a beer so I took out a Stella. Man I was buzzed for a while and I was cursing. Bad aren’t I?
I finally picked up the load of laundry I had washed and dried yesterday. I have not folded it yet, but I plan to.

A cute little mouse that works wonders...
That is the best 11.26 I have spent yet. The mouse may be small but it does the job. No more touch pad for me. I left the house at 6.53 a.m. according to the clock in the car. I arrived at school at 7.39 a.m. I am sure my brother’s friend made it five minutes faster than it already was because at the time that I usually listen to the entertainment stories from Hong Kong it was 7.20 a.m. Nothing to report on the road except this stupid Honda almost hit me because he was stupid and thought that he could pass by me. Lucky there was no other car beside me and so I swerved to the left of me. I was tempted to give him the finger, but I did not really want to. I am awake even before I had finish my cup of Café Latte. Instant coffee really sucks. I have about a million things to do before my class starts so I had better end it here and B.S. another four pages for my presentation. T.T.F.N. (Ta ta for now.)

Arguments over sugar...
So is sugar bad for you? White sugar? That is the debate currently at my house. White sugar is bad for you and will kill you. I say sugar is sugar and if you do not have a lot of it (eating straight sugar not the stuff found in foods you cannot control) then you should be ok. Sugar can be an argument. WTF!? Moreover, that is my two cents, rant, and rave of the day.
Another load of laundry…
It has been a couple of weeks since I did laundry. it builds up fast and when it is overflowing think that it is time to wash. Ok maybe I am a bit lazy, but that is my nature. Well I have done my laundry and I have another two loads (one of clothes and the other of linens) to go. I will find the time later this week hopefully. My elbow is a little better. It will probably have a bruise on it, but that is a small price to pay.
A sunny early morning to a now crappy afternoon…
As I woke up this morning before the actual alarm went off I was wondering why did it not rain yet? Then I got up and out of bed then to wake myself up. I picked up my brother’s friend and we were headed off to find adventure. Before i even started to drive three blocks this car does not see my car and almost hits me. that was to be one of two almost accidents. We were about 30 minutes early to Office Max. When we could be let in, I was looking for CDs, a mouse for my notebook, universal remotes, computer wipes (similar to those of bad but for computers), and a network card. I found the remotes and the wipes but not the mouse. They were already out of CDs. I was disappointed but thought that at least I got two remotes.
Next we headed off to CompUSA. They do not open until 11 am and I thought that is so wrong. I tried to find parking (not easy at about 10.45 a.m. downtown. So I circled and tried to find parking. I ended up backing up into this alley way. My brother’s friend went into the store to look for the hard drive (Seagate 160 GB for $89.99 after rebates) and there was not a controller card so I was bummed. They did have that mouse that I wanted to get at Office Max (which they did not have in stock or the wireless online) for the same price. I went and bought that. The mouse is so tiny, but I don’t care because I have small hands and it is fine with me. (My brother said it was a joke mouse when he saw it later at home.)
I thought why not try the other Office Max in the city? On the way there this taxi cuts me off and then pulls out a cell phone after he cuts me off to talk on it. Can you believe him? I drive there and there is this biker who is going a snail’s pace and I tried to speed past her to park into the garage. She yelled at me and said what am I doing? I was thinking you are going so slow and I tried to over pass you otherwise I would be stopping traffic. So technically, it was not my fault. I ended up buying two more remotes for a total of four. I have no idea why I thought I would need four in the house. I think three was good, but maybe I will sell it to someone who needs it.
Anyway once we left Office Max we drove back to my brother’s friend’s house. He lives on the street just after the traffic light street and there were cars coming and I did not feel like waiting for the next time so I kind of floor it and make the turn. Yes the tires squeak and no I was not trying to put lives in danger. Once I got home I ate some food and then procrastinated ever since. I have since showered and made dinner. Ramen and chicken was dinner.
I get a call from my mum saying I have to mail drugs. That sounds so bad, but they are actually some kind of muscle bone thing. I don’t know. I hope I do not get into trouble. I hit my elbow on the stupid drawer thing in the kitchen. Bad drawer thing. I have to blame my dad for that. Buying that stupid looking thing. So annoying and too dam tall!

I wonder...
Ok it is time once again for rant and raves by me. Today?s topic is: TV programming. No it is not the stuff on TV but rather, how to program your TV even if the cable is plug and play. Now I wonder how many 30 year old single males cannot set up the TV in the house with simple cable. I myself am a girl and can do it without any problems. Maybe my love for TV has made me able to understand how they work and why they do what they do.
Today I got up super early to the ?Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain.? Then I tried to sleep until my stereo went off to wake me up. Then I woke up to pack up everything I needed to. I got everything into the car waiting for Herb to show up (he was a little late but it is ok) and was trying to get a quick nap in.
We headed to Cala Foods to get sugar like all the senior people at $.99 for a five pound bag. They were out of sugar and were expecting a shipment in the evening. Then we headed off to the library where Herb could nap and I could try and work on my paper. When it was nearly 1.00 p.m. I said why not pay the water bill then pick up the rest of the groceries and head to the car to come back for lunch. Little did I know that while going to the car I would get the phone call about we are meeting at so and so. I would not be able to eat lunch. I was treated to sweet and sour pork and chicken chow mein.
All I did was just take everyone around somewhat and nothing else. we headed back to the Empress of China and ate. It was good but only because I was hungry. Oh if you are wondering where Herb is, he is roaming Chinatown. I felt so bad! Then after we talked about postponing the paper, we all go our separate ways.
Next we head back to pick up porridge and then head to the car back to hunt down sugar. We make two runs of sugar to pick up some for my aunt. Next stop Albertsons. I have to pick up two dozen Swanson?s Chicken and Beef broth for my aunt. I know I used the stairs all three or four times. I also picked up some for my own house. I will pick up more on Monday and Tuesday. Finally after purchasing all of the broth I head off to my aunt?s house. I drop off everything and she wanted me to drive her to Safeway. I had no problem. It was not as if I had anything to do.
So that concludes my night. Until my dad checked out the 10 pounds of sugar and said that white sugar is bad for you. He told me to find the receipts (not that I have a clue where they went) and he would return it. I said that my mum would have my life. He said no she would not! But if she came back and did not see the two bags of sugar it would be World War III at my house. I know it will be if she came back and did not see it.
Ok that is all for tonight boys and girls. Hope you enjoyed it.

New neighbor...
I hear the doorbell ringing, wondering who is it. I answer the it and it?s my new neighbor. He said I just moved in and I have my keys. I said ok. I asked him if he needed help with anything. He said no I was just looking for my keys. Then I said sorry. Why did I say sorry? I am still wondering that. He should have been the one to apologize! I got played for a sucker. It is as simple as that.
Don't go making phony calls...
Quoting Weird Al in his version of Waterfalls originally done by TLC. Yes that is the thing I am griping about today. Three calls and a voice message from my prank caller? Who the bloody hell keeps calling me? I want to know! Dam Caller ID blocking! I hate this person! I f I ever find out I will put a restraining order on them! Their calling has totally pissed me off. Gee thanks because now I get to rant and rave over the stupidest thing.

Three prank calls in one night…
The calls were at 6.49 p.m., 7.19 p.m., and 8.53 p.m. If I find out who it is, so help them. I had an early dinner and now I am hungry. I did weigh myself just to see how much I weight. I lost a couple of pounds, but it does not show because you know when you put on certain clothes and it is tight? If they are lose then it is a good thing. I remember when my clothes were loose that was when I was walking about a mile plus a day. Maybe I should eat healthier. Drink more water and eat less or eat more frequent.
I finally started on my paper. Granted it is not even one page, but it is getting there. I will work hard at it to have a few more pages done. It should not be this hard. I need to focus and I should be ok. As long as I have support I can do it! =)

I am somewhat well rested?
I woke up this morning thinking not a bad night?s sleep. I have yet to start on my paper. I know that is bad. I said I would for the past three hours or something since I have been up. I will work on the bibliography. I have to find my notes and I have a list with six things to do. I might have it up to ten now since I have other things to do. At least the wanker that has been calling my mobile stopped. *knock on wood* because I would be very annoyed if they called me. They called twice yesterday once while I was in class and the other while I was eating dinner.
I have the plans down for Saturday in an e-mail. I should e-mail back saying I will be one of the interviewers. I had better work on my paper first. I had better not make it a habit to blog a lot because it seems like I am at least 3 to 4 times a day if I include xanga. I already dubbed the tape that had me painting a small closet. I have had lunch so there really is not an excuse not to work on my presentation/paper.
One note to those that drive on 280: what I said yesterday about the C.H.P. stepping up patrol units is true because my brother noticed them. Then again, he did almost hit a police officer so I think they are coming after him for that. He did not hit the officer, but almost swiped him.

How'd that get there?
I have a bruise on my right foot. I only noticed it after I had taken off my socks. I think I got it on Monday and or Tuesday when I dropped a clipboard or mirror on my foot. Actually, it might have been Sunday.
Mission unsuccessful?
I went to hunt down my floppy disk and had no luck. I thought I also had my journal entry but I did not. I fell asleep in Buddhism again. I tried to keep myself awake in art history. I had to keep shifting in my chair as if I had ants in my pants and needs to get out.
I left class and thought what am I going to do now? I tried the library to see if they had anything that I would want to check out. There was nothing. I was hungry so I decided to get lunch and that would kill some time. I went and got lunch. It was yummy. I have not had burrito in so long with orange sauce too. After eating, I had about a half hour until I was going to pick up my video to watch and copy at home. I went to the office and got the video.
I headed off to the car to head home. I have a couple of errands to run and then head on home. I stopped first at the gas station to fill up. Ok you will laugh at this because you will wonder how this could happen and thought only in the movies. I was filling it up and then thought just a little more. Then it overfilled and I was like oops. Then I went to Albertsons. I went in and out 4 times total buying Swanson?s Chicken Broth. There were three cashiers so I had to go to the same one twice. She asked me who sent me here because I just bought six cans (the limit is six) and I blamed it on my mum. I heard on the radio that they stepped up C.H.P. on 280.
On the drive home, I noticed cows. This is not the first time either. I think I saw them this week. Then noticed there was a couple of C.H.P. officers while almost near San Francisco. Granted I drive about 80 M.P.H. but I try not to most of the time. Therefore, that is a warning for you that drive from San Jose to San Francisco and there are aircrafts.

Your mission for today...
Yeah I know that sounds cheesy, but I could not help it. That is because I do have a mission today. My mission is to find out what happened to my floppy. The drive over to San Jose was ok. Road kill was horrible and lucky I was in the fast lane and not next to the slow lane. I do not know what it was, but it did not look too happy. I was driving like a maniac. I found parking and I found my missing CDs. They were under the driver’s seat just as I left them the other day. I just could not find it until today. I have some coffee and I guess I am just waiting to see what happens in the day.
Now that I have a little less pressure on me (ta Herb =)) I hope I can finally put all of my attention into school. It will be like before, except now I have a good friend who I can complain to about school (sorry Herb). Make it a great day. (Whom did I get that one from? Why am I using it? I blame it on TV and commercials!)

Lost floppy. Have you seen it?
I lost my floppy at the library on Monday. I now have to hunt it down. Hmm..Just trying to think what was on it. Directions to the museum at Stanford and some other stuff and I really do not remember what is on it. I had better find it.
The work of art I never noticed...
There is a replica of the Rosetta stone in the library. I had not notice it until there was nothing running on it filling it with color. I only noticed that last week. It didn't even look familiar until then. I looked at it somewhat carefully and then thought I saw the real thing in London. How ironic is that?
Do beans grow on trees? Who keeps calling my mobile with a Caller ID Blocked number? Questions that go unanswered. They called yesterday twice around 10.30 in the morning then again at 7 pm in the evening and once again this morning at about 10. If I find out whom it is...they will hear cursing!
I am driving home and I get another call like that. I get another just after 8.00 p.m. I hate the caller! Let it be known! Driving home was ok. I swear I did not see the C.H.P. on the motorcycle. He just came out of nowhere. Well not anywhere only because I was not looking at the rear view mirror and I should have. I went to see if they had more of my monkey shirts because they are super cute. Ok I have a slight monkey thing going on. I do not own a lot of stuff with monkeys, but not so sure now.

From a two a.m. fire drill to dead stuff…
It was nice hearing the same smoke detector go off at 2.45 a.m. when I was in a somewhat deep sleep after going to bed early at about 10.45 p.m. I enjoyed it, the smoke detector going off. I really did. I just chose to ignore it as I did last time it went off because this time I knew that someone would turn it off. The reason why I went to bed so early was because I was truly tired (did not feel tired when I went to bed) at school and since I had been lacking sleep all last week I felt I had to catch up on it last night. I was surprised to see the VCR on this morning. I checked to see why it was still on and it seems like I made a mistake of setting the timer wrong for taping headlines until 11.57 a.m. That was silly of me.
I left at 6.55 a.m. a little later than usual because I had to ask my brother for the laptop. He does not have school today and I forgot. Granted I can borrow one at school for four hours at a time, but there is nothing like your own laptop. Plus I forgot my disk that I need to type my stuff onto. I had a copy on my hard drive/desktop anyway. I arrived at school parked and everything at 7.46 a.m. Not too bad considering I was going 80, M.P.H. at some point and probably hit 90 as well.
It had definitely been a while since I have posted about dead road kill. Well it was gross. The deer on the side of the road before the Burlingame exit or after was gross. There was something else too but I forgot what it was. At least this one was still together. I hope not to mention anymore but I cannot keep my promises on that.
I must finish watching Sailor Moon. Then I have to work on another paper due next Tuesday for my film class which will be easy but also means that I have two papers next week due. Arg. Arrr! (Why did I not type ‘arrrr’ on Talk Like A Pirate Day?) Ok off to finish Sailor Moon and then read some stuff. What should I do about lunch? Oh I watched The Simpsons last night. It was ok, not the best one, plus the fact I taped over Joe Millionaire (bummed about that one) and probably over The Simpsons too.

A little self-control…
I went to sleep in my classes. No surprise there since I was lacking sleep from last night. On the drive home, I was driving fast. It was rush hour somewhat. I know I was going 90 at one point, which is not good. I guess my mind was wondering. I was glad that I was just singing along to my cd. It made me happy. I just checked to see when I am able to register for classes and it is not until next Wednesday at 8.40 a.m. That is early. I need sleep. I went to Target and just got what I had to. No over spending but I could park the car proper. I think I messed up the hubcap on the front tire. I did not check but I will tomorrow.
I truly suck at art history…
I might have to look over at it to make sure that the professor gave me the right grade when she added up the pointed. I thought that I had aced the part with the key terms, but I was wrong. I cannot believe that she took off for spelling. Come on now! I was thinking that as long as I got the terms right that I would be able to pull off at least a decent grade. Was I wrong in thinking that? I now really have to work at my paper that is due and pray that I will pass the final and get a decent grade. I cannot be stuck in school forever. That would be my ultimate nightmare. I now know where my talents lie and art history is not one of them. I do not think I am the type to memorize where and when and why this is the way it is.
I hope that today while at Target I do not go mad and buy everything and anything in the store like last week. I also hope to find some information about the paper that I found is not due until Wednesday! I lucked out. I thought he would not be here next Monday, but it is this coming Monday. I wish I had not decided to take this class and waited for next semester when he would be teaching the Chinese culture class. Man this sucks.

Today I left at 6.43 a.m. and I arrived at 7.35 a.m. If you are wondering if I was speeding then yes, I was. I do not think it is wise for me to speed, but sometimes you just forget where you are and what you are doing (which is bad on all of those accounts). I hate to say it, but my weekend was a total disaster looking back on it. It was mostly my fault and due to my past, (relationships or lack of depending on who you talk to) I made a mess out of a good thing. It took me a while to sleep last night and it did not help that Bravo reran Inside the Actor's Studio with the cast of The Simpsons. When I woke up from what I knew was a bad weekend I thought it could not get any worse. I hope I am right. If after you have read yesterday's entries and decided that what I did was selfish (I realized that this morning walking from the car to campus) but at the same time it had to be done because I have lost the motivation to actually to finish my degree e-mail me. E-mail is daria@asia.com subject 11/10/03. Cheers.

Horoscope foretold today…
Looking back on my horoscope for Saturday I do not know why I did not see what I was going to do coming. That was a hint and I missed it. I really am slow and stupid. I should read more into those three sentences next time. I also have set a record number of blogs for a day. This will be number five. This record will probably be broken, but not anytime soon.
Life...
Forest Gump's mother always said, "Life is like a box of chocolates and you never know what you're going to get." She is a wise woman because you never know what you are going to get. You never expect life to turn out differently than you had somewhat planned. I did not imagine I would find someone who is caring, sweet, and kind (all somewhat the same) online. A total gentleman. I would like to see where this leads.
I am sorry if what I said in the e-mail really hurt you, but I know myself well enough to know that if I can have fun and not focus on school I would choose the first thing. I hope that he can forgive me. I really do feel bad and if I stayed up all night thinking about it, it would not help and I would be a mess at school tomorrow.

I declare me the queen of...
Procrastination that is I and I am procrastination we are one. I swear I cannot focus. This is not working. I need to and must focus. The easiest answer is to hang myself. I have distractions. My mind get so side tracked so easily. I have to focus or I will not get sleep and what not. I could pull out my hair right now. The horoscope is so bad today is pure evil.

Gravity - Vienna Teng
hey love
is that the name you're meant to have
for me to call
look love
they've given up believing
they've turned aside our stories of the gentle fall
but don't you believe them
don't you drink their poison too
these are the scars that words have carved
on me
hey love
that's the name we've long held back
from the core of truth
so don't turn away now
I am turning in revolution
these are the scars that silence carved
on me
this is the same place
no not the same place
this is the same place, love
no not the same place we've been before
hey love
I am a constant satellite
of your blazing sun
my love
I obey your law of gravity
this is the fate you've carved on me
I do not know about this song. Something about the lyrics that just drew me to it. It might be her voice and the way she expresses herself in this song. I also find myself just posting lyrics for no reason. Therefore, there is a reason for this one but the previous two are sketchy. The one with the reason is Love Doesn’t Have to Hurt and that no one knew who sang that song, but hard-core (?) pop fans of Brit pop would know. While watching Love Actually last night I really wanted to cry. I missed seeing the streets of England. It also brought back memories of when I was in London for an hour and somewhat just taking everything in for the last time. I want to go back. One day I will…one day…

A little progress…
Ok so I got off to an early start as I said earlier. I went to SFSU to get some work done. Not really, Herb did most of it. I will admit it. I am not ashamed of it. Well after not really doing work and talking and laughing about silly things about family stuff it was time to go. Afterwards we are heading to the movies. We park in the second building and the structure for all parking lots are the same? They go up, up, and up. We parked the car not making a note of it to head to eat.
We headed to Fuddruckers for dinner. I did not think that I could eat a 1/3 pound burger but I did. Then we sat and talked some more until it was time to head to the movies. We watched Love Actually. I did not think it would be packed, but it was. There were two lines waiting to get it. It was pretty packed and I had no idea so many people would go and see it.
After the movie, we went back to the parking lot. We had no idea what floor we parked on. I blame this on years of TV watching. I say we parked on 7th and Herb says it is 5th. We were both wrong. It is just that when you turn so much you just lose track of the actual floor. We finally found it on the 3rd floor. I some what freaked out too, because if I had to call my cousin for a lift I would be speechless. Would not know how to explain being out on a Saturday night.
Afterward we found the car and got in we drove around. Herb said that Target might be open, but I was sure they close at 10.00 p.m. We drove by and it was closed. Then next, we drove around for a while and ended up at the Coit Tower. I say it looks like a giant fire hydrant only because I remember that from Full House. The view was nice and it was not as cold as I thought it would be, since it is usually colder after raining.
Overall, the night was good. I guess I finally know what it is to be like a regular college student I guess out on a Saturday night and not stuck at home molding and becoming an old maid.

An unnatural 7.52 a.m. wake up?
I just could not sleep this morning. I woke up early on a Saturday. I could not sleep afterwards. I tried to work on my paper but it is so hard. Ok going to head to the library and hopefully that will inspire this creative soul (or not so creative soul).

Love Doesn't Have To Hurt - Atomic Kitten
I learnt a lesson in my life
And I learnt the hard way
I don't know why I used to fall in love
With the wrong kind
Why I suffer so much pain
But I only had myself to blame
Then you came
And you make a time to show me
Love shouldn't have to hurt
To feel good
It's such a revelation
With you I can be myself
And I know it should
Don't have to cry
Don't have to fight
Don't have to die
Not after tonight
Show me
Love (Love)
Doesn't have to hurt to feel good
Well darling now it seems to me
Like I've always known you
But I still shudder
When I think back
On the lonely times
I used to keep all my feelings inside
From your eyes I have nothing to hide
Baby you came
And you make a time to show me
Love doesn't have to hurt
To feel good
It's such a revelation
With you I can be myself
And I know it should
Don't have to cry
Don't have to fight
Don't have to die
Not after tonight
Show me
Love (Love)
Doesn't have to hurt to feel good
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Baby
Lying here byside you
Feels so fine
Talking about everything in this heart of mine
Love doesn't have to hurt
To feel good
It's such a revelation
With you I can be myself
And I know it should
Don't have to cry
Don't have to fight
And in your arms
Not after tonight

World Filled With Love - Craig David
[Verse]
Saw some pictures in the paper,
of a girl I'd met the day before.
I couldn't believe that hours later,
I had reporters knockin at my door,
But I used to dream about,
the life I'm living now and,
I didn't think I'd miss those things from the past,
and I'm not afraid of leaving,
or letting go of what I had,
cause I realize that now there's no turning back.
[Chorus]
Cause I'm caught living in a world filled with love,
so when tear drops fall from me like rain from above,
I can brush my troubles away,
know that deep down inside,
I got sun shining in my life.
[Verse]
I used to think I could get better,
my girlfriends always used to get me wrong.
Some just sent messages, love letters,
but those kinda feelings never lasted long.
Cause now the only love I find's within a castle made of sand,
and when the tide goes out it's swept away.
Though I got my peace of mind,
and time is firmly on my side,
and through the battles I can safely say...
[Chorus]
Cause I'm caught living in a world filled with love,
so when tear drops fall from me like rain from above,
I can brush my troubles away,
know that deep down inside,
I got sun shining in my life.
[Music Break]
[Chorus]
Cause I mean I'm caught living in a world filled with love,

I am so spacey lately…
I will admit that I am usually not like this. However, something has happened without my knowing that has made me this spacey. I have not a clue what it is, but maybe it is because the holidays are coming up and that is usually a depressing time for me. At least this holiday season I will be with family. Definitely different for me this New Year because I will be overseas and see how others celebrate the New Year.
I must concentrate and stop procrastinating. Why has not anyone come up with a cue yet for the horrible disease that affects hundreds of thousands of students each year and each semester? Maybe it is a form of A.D.D. and the drugs that are taken to help will work for those who are major procrastinators. Must work and search for information. I will be so screwed if I do not get it done. It is worth 20% of my grade.

It’s now 5.30 p.m. and no work done…
I am a horrible student. I did not even really do any work. I only looked up the person who I have a presentation on in a search engine. Other than that nothing else done which is sad. Ok I will work. I honestly will. Even if it means missing Miss Match that is how determined I am. After this, I will research my bum off to find out the information for an 8-page paper.
A beep and an even louder beep?
This morning I heard a beep. I was not sure what time, but I have this feeling it was the weather one. I heard my mum up making breakfast I reckon. I did not think twice and headed off again to find Mr. Sandman. Then about 9.30 a.m. I was rudely awakened by the sounds of a smoke detector for no reason. I saw no smoke or smelt smoke.
I hope to get some work done today. I feel so bad for not doing work. I need to work on my paper. I wonder if SFSU has a computer lab to plug and play. I looked and they only have dial up. Dial UP!? That is super ghetto. They do have wireless, but still I would rather have Ethernet. Hmm?I need to bring a phone cable. I suppose it is better than nothing is. Now I have hunt down a phone cable. This is outrageous. Ok I will start searching the internet for information on my presentation and 8-page paper. Eight pages?*shudders*.

Naps are good...
Yes taking a nap is very good. I took a long one because I was lacking sleep. I woke up about 4.30 p.m. and was very surprised. I had no idea that going back to sleep at about 10.30 a.m. would allow me such great sleep. Maybe the weather had a part in this. I feel a little bit better from this nap, but I could do with more sleep. If I get what I have to done tonight then I can sleep in tomorrow. Bad plan change it to work some more tomorrow. Sounds better and less lazy. Off to work I go on the papers I guess.
I'm so tired...*yawn*
I think the title says it all. I could not sleep I could not watch TV; I have to find a better way to sleep. Nay a better bed and that might solve everything. Nah I just think that I use too many pillows to sleep on. I want to go back to sleep maybe I will. I cannot say Oyasumi. I guess I will just have to say morning instead.

A long day but a great night…
I went to school then gas station then Target then Macy’s then Aeropostale. I got the cutest shirts! I love that monkey! He is so cute and better looking that that *Frank something monkey. I rushed home to get ready to go out. Luckily, I am one of those girls who do not have many dressy clothes and only a problem of what to wear. A touch of make-up and some lipstick to add color and then if I should have my hair up or down. It was down in the end.
Tonight was great. Minus talking, awards, and raffles, a very pleasant night I loved the view of looking at the bay. It was so beautiful and breathe taking. I could not believe that I was on the bay looking at San Francisco. When I saw the Port of San Francisco sign, I thought about where and when I saw the letter R in port was out and it said Pot of San Francisco. I never thought that first I would be out on a Wednesday night. Second, I would be out on the bay and getting to know someone better. I am so glad that I went.
Honestly, I was having second thoughts about it, but after I went and came home, I was this is not too bad. I get one taste of going out on a weeknight and crave it. It is like a drug that you have to take. It just reminds me more of when I was overseas and I did not take advantage of it. I would probably like to go out again sometime and definitely having the college life with concerts and hanging out with friends. Ta to Herb for convincing me to go with him and ended up having a good time.

Two dead some things on the road on the way home...
One was before the Woodside exit in the slightly faster lane. Then before Moody Road there was something run over in the very fast lane. I was glad both times; I was not in either of the lanes. I am so tired. I just hope I remember where I parked the car this morning. I parked pretty well. Of course, I am a lazy parker and choose the easiest spots to park. That is the one that is the quickest to pull into and takes me about five minutes or so to get perfect. I hope to have a great day, but I know it will be a long one.
I checked my e-mail this morning and was surprised to find that my cousin was pampered in Southern California. Free massages, acupuncture, and chiropractors for everyone at the camp and I am jealous of that. I am going to head off to class and then sleep if I can.

Too tired and sick of Sweet Tarts?
I am so tired. I was wired from Sweet Tarts for a while, that was all I ate and an apple pie. I was honestly starving in my film class. I had two granola bars, but that did not help. I was starving and tired during dinner. I just watched 7th Heaven and now the headlines. I guess I will go to bed afterwards. I am so tired.
Rant and rave about my horoscope for today…
The last bit is actually from a title of Weird Al’s Running With Scissors. What will pay off? What investigation are they talking about? What good feeling should I have? As I was driving to school with some what crazy people on the road because I seen to end up with the crazies I was thinking about Disney’s portrayal of happy endings. Ok it was not today this morning but yesterday morning or afternoon when I was listening to my CD that I had burned. At my request for suggestions for my CD, my friend suggested The Little Mermaid’s Under The Sea. Granted I did not have the rest of the soundtrack (because I have been behind in updating my mp3s) on Disney soundtracks, but I thought that almost all of the Disney movies have happy conclusions. Even the “people” ones do too. Is Disney trying to get all little children to believe that this is true or is this gimmick?
That is my rant and rave over my horoscope and the whole Disney thing. I forgot to mention earlier when I was driving that I had the strangest drive. It was when I was near San Mateo and Half Moon Bay that there was this sudden burst of fog. It started on what seems like a ram but also a bridge at the same time. There is a lake near by and so that had fog too. It looked so inviting that you just wanted to swim in it. The trees surrounding had white frosty looking tops. While passing all of that fog and looking back it looked like I was leaving wonderland. I wish I were able to stay there because it looked like my dreamland.

A late start...
I really truly did not want to get out of bed. I arrived late at school. I left about 6.52 a.m. I arrived at school at 7.49 a.m. That is late compared to the time I usually arrive. I am sure I did drive fast, but not super fast. One more day of school for the week and then I can rest up. Boy am I glad I leave my phone on silent at night. I received a SMS at 5.13 a.m. If I had left on my phone I would have heard it and probably not been able to go back to sleep. I was really worn out last night. I still am this morning. I know I went to bed before the Tonight Show came on. I turned off the TV after watching a little bit of Will & Grace. Bad when I said I would go to bed at 10.30 p.m. Well I hope to catch a nice nap while in movie class today, but I know that will not happen.
Ok time to watch some anime and hopefully (I use that word a lot since I guess I am somewhat pessimistic) sleep afterwards.

A great 1/2 midterm...
Well after, I headed off from the library to the bookstore to my blue book because I left the one I had taken out at home I then went to the business building. I printed out my study guide. I then went to be a good ½ TA. I get in and there is a sign saying class is canceled. I mean what are the odds of that happening. I wait in front of my Buddhism class to start and go on in. I study more while in there. He passes back the midterm and I did not dare look, but I thought it could not be that bad. I passed! I got a 70!
I head on off to the second midterm on a Monday. I nailed all the terms. I know I did. The one that stumped me was Persephone. Then it hits me like a ton of brinks. She is the wife of Hades and the daughter of Demeter. All the rest of the stuff was pretty much BS and even the compare and contrast essay was BS. I leave knowing I did the best that I could and that the only part I nailed was the terms. Ten points I have got at least.
I head to the car thinking everything should be ok and that I should be locked in because that would be horrible for me. Well then, I went to fill the car with gas. Get that one and noticed there was a spot of bird poop and so I had to clean that off after the entire car was semi washed by the rain. I went to Albertsons to buy some groceries because my mum did not have time and since I was close. I spend about three to find parking and then about 30 minutes there and left. I start heading for the freeway when this old guy asks for directions and sort of drove me nuts because first of all I was hungry. Second, I wanted to get out of San Jose.
Some lady I think it was a lady drove with the blinker on to change left and left it on while in the most left and then went to the carpool lane and still had it on. I was so close to honking at her. I head on the freeway and then drive more or less the speed limit until I see one of those large trucks carrying stuff or those carrying gas and speed up because of my fear of another rock will hit the windshield and then it will be the end.
I then go to target. I buy so much candy that like I think I?m golden until next Halloween. Nerds, Sweet Tarts, Twix, Tangy Taffy, Bugles, Pringles, Milano cookies, and Sausalito cookies were what I bought. I also bought three tubes of toothpaste. Therefore, it looked like I was doing ok. It just looked like I have a sweet tooth or taking care of my candy craving. Oh, I bought a package of those Peeps too. That is a lot of junk food. I also bought some of these Snider?s pretzel bits. Who can say problem here?
Anyway, I was going to watch some 7th Heaven and then sleep, but now I do not know what to do. I think I will just hang out until 10.30 p.m. and then sleep.

**Eye Update** my eye is Almost better with just a little bit left to heal.
I head on off to the second midterm on a Monday. I nailed all the terms. I know I did. The one that stumped me was Persephone. Then it hits me like a ton of brinks. She is the wife of Hades and the daughter of Demeter. All the rest of the stuff was pretty much BS and even the compare and contrast essay was BS. I leave knowing I did the best that I could and that the only part I nailed was the terms. Ten points I have got at least.
I head to the car thinking everything should be ok and that I should be locked in because that would be horrible for me. Well then, I went to fill the car with gas. Get that one and noticed there was a spot of bird poop and so I had to clean that off after the entire car was semi washed by the rain.

Frotte...
I wake up this morning and thought it is time to get up already. Having had a some what difficult time going to sleep I thought that maybe it would have been easier for me to just stay in bed. I honestly did not sleep until 2 a.m. in the morning. Then I woke up about 3.15 a.m. for no reason. This morning while I was getting ready for school, I heard a noise that sounded like a helicopter. I was right. It was channel 7 above checking out the conditions on 19th avenue.
While driving this morning, I saw a dead I do not know. I am not even sure I know what it is. Some stupid car was tailgating me. I really was tempted to step on the brakes to get some insurance money. He was trying to pass me and he could not because the cars in front of me were not even going that fast. I swear I now have a fear of trucks carrying any kind of big one carrying oil, dirt, or lumber.
I totally forgot to pack a blue book that I have already at home. I did not realize it until I started to head to school. While doing that, I made a mess with the frotte. I now have to head over to the bookstore to pick up a blue book then head to the business building lab to get another part of my study sheet printed out and then go to be a TA. Nah, I think I will skip today. I need to study more. I think that is more important since I practically failed to do so all weekend long. The car will now have a nice coffee aroma to remind me of the horrible thing that I have done for the second time.
The funniest thing this morning happened. I was trying to parallel park the car. Moreover, there were garbage cans in the front and in the back of me. Talked about learning to park in the morning with lack of sleep and it took me about five minutes to do so. I am so proud of myself. Lucky they were garbage cans and not cars because while backing up trying to get closer to the curb I hit the bin behind me at least twice. I do not think I will ever learn how to park properly.

Frothé Café Latte…
Ok what do you call a half Nescafe Frothé Chocolate Mocha with half Folgers Café Latte Mocha Almond Jive? Well when you figure it out let me know. I think I have too much coffee for a day. Must stop drinking coffee or I will be buzzed for the night. Just watching Tying the Knot with Melissa Joan Hart. Ok better get back to studying. TV will be turned off. Do not forget to remind me of The Simpson’s tonight.
Horoscope inspired...
"Familiar doesn't always mean friendly. Fulfill your destiny. The clock ticking." - Horoscope
What is that suppose to mean? The clock is ticking fulfill your destiny? Does that mean finish up school already, just find a job, or even grow up? All of this takes time and since I am a homey type of person, I do not think my destiny will be finding me anytime soon. Maybe I have to find my own destiny. It is always one of those ?thinking? ones that I call them, that make me wonder where my life is heading. Is it going to end happily ever after as Disney portrays in all of their movies?
I hope something inspires me to do better in school or overall. The life that I am currently living does not seem like I am in control. I hope to have control eventually of my life or just hope that some thing wonderful happens (winning the lottery would not hurt) that will either help me or hurt me more.

I did my laundry…
I thought I would have three loads to wash, but it was two. I only did one because it was mostly towels and I needed some. Therefore, everything is wash, folded, and put away. I am so proud of myself. However, as for the studying that I should have done I have not. I am looking at flash cards. I also have on the TV. I am going to watch the BBC business news and then study. That is the plan. The test is to see if I can follow the plan.

I woke up to KOIT?
That is my worse nightmare coming true. I wake up to the sounds of KOIT radio station. What is worse I could not sleep longer. On the plus side, my eye is getting better. It is now yellow. I think the more I rest it or if the eye was not open then it would heal faster. That is not going to happen anytime soon. I updated my website. I added a few pictures. I added some movie reviews. I have not really studied but I hope to get some done. I will NOT clean my room. I will restrain from doing so. I will do my laundry since I am in dire need of clothes.

Updates…
Technically this should be done on the updates page of my webpage, but it’s going to change anyway so what’s the point? Therefore, I have added a few more pictures to my site. I have add them and made them smaller and more friendly for dial up users. They can be viewed here. Hope you enjoy them since I spend about half an hour on them. Ok that is being modest. I spent about an hour trying to decide what goes up and what does not. Night night.
