Prince William to William Hung. How do I go from cute and dreamy to blah? I have not a clue. The comparison could go on and on.

Bonds hits # 672!

Super Bonds! He might be the Wayne Gretzky of baseball. Man I love this game! There was a good double play made my Rueter in the bottom of the second inning. Good move.
Brower was hilarious in the top of the seventh. He kept running and running from first to home. Hilarious stuff. Ducked around third because the ball was being tossed. And when he goes into the club house bonds does this thing with his hand of circling. So funny.

I am now trying to get over the bruise behind my left knee. I have no idea how I got it and it remains a mystery. I know I did not get it on Saturday at graduation or before it. Oh well. I hope it goes away. It is a pain to have one there since I sit oddly on the chair (crossed Indian style and like one leg up as if I will wrap an arm around it).

I enjoyed the game. I did not even stress out when one of the Diamond Backs hit a homerun. Was not even tripping over it and you are Looking good Giants. Makes me wish I followed the team more. Looking back, I did follow then in elementary school and middle school. I believed my cousin who was a softball player influenced me.

The stuff that you learn while reading other people's blogs. I had no idea that Jonathan Brandis passed away last November. It was ruled a suicide. I remember I had the biggest crush on him. I remember when he was on SeaQuest DSV and he was cute. I do not understand the whole baseball jersey with the Marlins on it but I guess it was because of where he was located in the show. Rest in Peace. Here are more details.

Happy Memorial Day!

Good sleep was what I needed. As of today, I am three days without caffeine. I am proud of myself. Instead of caffeine, I shall take two Tylenol. Ok bad but better than caffeine. Going to sleep at 5.30 a.m. is not good. If one is to do that, they must sleep at least 12 hours after or force self to do so.

I really have no plans for today. I mean I did wake up at 3.00 p.m. so I pretty much wasted half the day. There is nothing interesting going on. I am just waiting for the Giants game to start and then maybe check out which episode of 7th Heaven is on tonight. taking it easy is what I am going to do. Headache. =(

Great game...

I woke up around 12.30 p.m. surprising since I went to bed about 4.00 a.m. or something. It is funny how I could do that with lack of sleep. I am now more of a night person than ever. I then went back to sleep for a little while longer. I turned on the TV to the game to see what was going on nothing. Then something happen I believe it was scoring. Yes, the Giants did well. Then watching later on and seeing Tucker hit a home run was neat because it was a splash hit.

I think it was during yesterday's game that they mentioned those that change the scores of the other teams could make it LA 0 and ARI 5 or something. That would have been good. It would have been false but still good.

I did not really do anything today. Just watched the game and did some cleaning. I am enjoying reading other blogs of people that I know. It just gives me something to do when I am bored. I wonder how I will use my time now that I am on permanent vacation.

MEN'S 43 RULES FOR WOMEN and MY responses...

My response is after the * and they are just my personal opinions. I cannot speak for a majority of the women but maybe a few like myself.

MEN'S 43 RULES FOR WOMEN

1. It is only common courtesy that you should leave the seat on the toilet UP when you are done.
* Well if we leave it up for you, does that mean you will leave it down for us after you use it? And if we go to the bathroom and leave the seat down and you have to use it and you have hands that work then that should not be an excuse right? It goes both ways.

2. If you are cooking a special dinner for a man, be sure to include something from each of the four major male food groups: Meat, Fried, Beer, and Red.
* Does that mean we marinate meat in beer and then deep-fry your steak that would cover the first three? And what the hell is Red? Wine?

3. Don't make him hold your purse in the mall.
* I agree on it except there are a few exceptions. If your girl friend is trying something on in the store and needs someone to hold, her purse for a little while just to try it on it is ok. What is not ok is to make you be a walking billboard modeling the purse. Also if you were comfortable with your masculinity you would not care if you were carrying a purse.

4. Despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary in many of the fine bars and fraternities throughout the country, not all men are cretins deserving your contempt.
* I agree but do not try to think you are all that and a bag of chips if you are drunk and not even talking correctly.

5. Shopping is not fascinating.
* I agree also but sometimes it is just nice to go with your girl to the mall. Maybe you can help us pick out something special to wear for a special occasion.

6. When he asks for a threesome with you and your best friend, he is only joking.
* I had better hope so! No way will be into that unless we are bi and or if we were drunk. But even then we would not.

7. Unless the answer is yes.
* NO. Except with the exceptions mentioned above.

8. In which case, can he videotape it?
* NO. No exceptions.

9. If you REALLY want a nice guy, stop dating good-looking assholes.
* Yes that is true. But why do you have to be a good-looking asshole?

10. The man is ALWAYS in charge of poking the campfire with a stick and/or tending the grill.
* No I would have to disagree. If the MAN left meat on the grill and left it unattended and it turned up burnt, we can say if you let me tend the grill, we would not be having pizza right now.

11. Trying to provoke a large, dangerous-looking felon from across the room is not funny.
* No it is not so you should not be the one doing it when you are drunk because you are looking for trouble.

12. Money does not equate love. Not even in Nevada.
* That is true except that if you want a girlfriend you had better at least have a job and some money. We are not your Sugar Mama. If we wanted a Sugar Daddy we would go to Hugh Hefner. Oh and if we win in Nevada that goes the same for us.

13. Any attempt by a man to prepare food, no matter how feeble (ie: Microwaving a burrito, fixing Spaghetti, etc) should be met with roughly the same degree of praise a parent might shower upon their infant when it walks for the first time.
* Well then you should do the same for us. If we cannot cook and know how to microwave stuff, we except the same of you. And if we can only make one item then do not complain because it is food.

14. Those male models with perfect bodies are all gay. Accept it.
* They are not all gay. I guess that would mean Ashton Kutcher is gay as well. But wait is he with Demi Moore? And she is a woman so I guess he is not gay and that contradicts what you said about all male models being gay.

15. He heard you the first time.
* Really? If he did than can he repeat back to us?

16. You know, YOU can ask HIM out too... Let's spread the rejection around a little.
* Ok but what if we are shy? I know that is no excuse but some of us are. And what if you think that we just want to hang out as something else?

17. If you truly want honesty, don't ask questions you don't really want the answer to.
* But why would we want lies if we are asking for an HONEST answer?

18. Of COURSE he wants another beer.
* You can get it yourself. We are not your personal maid. And if were getting something would you ask us if we wanted something? So it goes both ways.

19. The guy doesn't ALWAYS have to sleep on the wet spot.
* Well if HE made it then HE should have to.

20. Dogs good. Cats bad.
* I would have to agree with this. But some cats are ok.

21. Any sort of injury involving the testicles is not funny.
* True but if you did it yourself while playing sports it is NOT our fault. And if you did something to deserve a kick there then it was probably your fault because of something you said.

22. If he has to sit through "Legends of the Fall", you have to sit through "Showgirls".
* I personally do not think Brad Pitt is that great looking. But yes if watch a chick flick with us we will watch an action flick with you.

23. "Fine." is not an acceptable way to end an argument.
* Ok.

24. Do not question a man's innate navigational abilities by suggesting he stop for directions.
* But if you asked you would get there sooner and you would not have someone say, "I told you so." You should also get directions to the place and do a test run if you have to instead of getting lost and then finally having to ask for directions.

25. He was NOT looking at that other girl.
* If you do look, make sure we are not looking. And do not give us crap about it when we do it too.

26. Well, okay... maybe a little.
* Look above.

27. Okay, so what! He was looking at her. Big deal. Like you've never looked at another guy...
* Not if he was the perfect guy and in front of him. You would not do that to the person you are committed.

28. There is nothing inherently wrong with the word "cunt".
* Yes there is. You would not use that in front of a lady unless you were some redneck and just plain stupid.

29. He is the funniest, strongest, best-looking, most successful man you have ever met.
* Only if we are in love with him otherwise he is just another guy that catches our attention until someone better comes along. He is also that if he is our husband.

30. And all your friends think so too. Especially the cute ones.
* If he is the one that fits all of those categories mentioned above, and most of the time we do not care unless he is the one. And why did you have to bring in the cute friends for? Does that mean you do not want to be with the girl you are with then and with her friends? Then why the hell are you dating her and not her friends?

31. Your (select appropriate item:) butt/boobs/hair/makeup/legs look fine. As a matter of fact, it/they look damn good. Stop asking.
* We just want to make sure. And if you have that kind of attitude we should just dump you and then you would miss the best of what we have (insert item here).

32. If you want a satisfying sex life, you will NEVER fake an orgasm.
* True, but if you do not know how to please one it would take you ages. If we fake it at least it gives you an ego boost. But if we are not getting an orgasm then obviously you are not the right guy.

33. It is not necessary to discuss the heaviness of your menstrual flow with him.
* I would agree but if you ask then you know you have opened the floodgates. And if you were really caring you would show more sympathy.

34. Remember: that Nair bottle looks an awful lot like shampoo if left in the shower.
* Well you should know to look at the color and the shape of the bottle before using. It is not our fault if you use the wrong one. And why would you be using a bottle of shampoo that looks like Nair?

35. Two words: blow job. Learn it. Live it. Love it.
* No. That is just disgusting for me personally. Some girls will do it but I will not.

36. Dirty laundry comes in several categories: Looks fine/smells fine, Looks fine/smells bad, Looks dirty/smells fine. Unless you intend to wash it, do not try to disrupt piles organized in this manner.
* No all dirty laundry is dirty. There are no categories for it. Learn to do you own laundry otherwise take it to the dry cleaners to get it clean. And if you get a rash or something do not come to us. If you have piles of laundry lying around that is just nasty.

37. Yes, Sharon Stone/Pamela Anderson/Cindy Crawford is prettier than you. Just like Brad Pitt/Antonio Banderas/Keanu Reeves is better looking than him. But since neither one of you is going to be dating any of these people, love the one you're with.
* True. We choose to be with him because he his himself and that is what we like about them.

38. Of course size matters, and boy does he have the grandaddy of them all.
* No he might not and if you are conscious about size then why do you brag to your friends about it only to go back to your girlfriend?

39. His (fill in appropriate selections:) bald spot/beer gut/impossibly thick glasses/impotency/scabby rash, is cute.
* Yes if it happens naturally. Otherwise that is just odd and gross.

40. Don't hog the covers.
* Well, we might not need to if you would share it with us. If you are one of those that hogs it in the middle of the night then get an extra one for us.

41. Watching football is a major turn-on for you. But please wait until the halftime show to act upon that...
* Watching football is not a turn on. Only some of the players are cute and that is all. If all of them are fat and old then we would not even watch. Some of us do not even like football but just want to spend time with him. And if you are watching cute guys is your thing then maybe you have a problem.

42. He does not just want to be friends.
* Then he should say so. And be upfront about it. Do not beat around the bush. Sometimes we do not understand body language and you should make sure she feels the same way before you act upon it.

43. A successful date always starts with the woman uttering the sentence: "You know, why don't we just skip the expensive dinner and stay here having freaky circus sex all night?"
* That will only happen in your dreams. And if that is a successful date than you are a freakin' cheap skate.

Graduation 2004 @ SJSU

Hair was messy after running.

Congratulations!! Class of 2004!!

To all of you that have graduated or will this year I wish you all the best of luck. Those that have just left high school for college good luck because you will need it. Those that have just graduated college and have no job you are in the same boat as me. Those of you that have a job already, good for you on graduating.

I myself would just say that getting through school was hard. Thanks to my friend Allan and Jon who both were in the same graduating class as me. Congratulations on a job well done. You both deserved it and worked hard for it. Thanks for being there when I needed someone to talk to, to get through the bad times and ugly times. Thank you both for just being there when I needed support. Without you two I do not know if I would have made it this far.

To those that made my life hell, I am now going to try my best not letting the past get in the way of my future. I am free from all of you and this is closure. I forgive you all for having the cops take down my personal information over a disturbance call when it was not my fault but it did make cry and that is when I knew I need out. Because of that, I have strived to go for what I want and how I want my life to change.

What happened was this. The roommate who I hate had a woofer, turned it up (stupidily at 11.00p.m.), and was not courteous to the other people in the building. Security came up and knocked on the door but they did not hear it. Then someone called the police and pretty much that was it. However, the thing is why would have the bass up loud at night? Stupid is as stupid does. Common sense should have been used but was not with this person. Might I also add she was the oldest in the apartment?

Sometimes it takes many bad times for good times to happen. I cannot deny I want good things and good times but if I have to wait then I shall learn to have patience.

Here is what really happened today. Arrived to get in line for the shuttle to take us down to the football field (nice in a college sort of way) and then I had to look for my group. The unlucky part was that I was in the wrong part and ended up running to where I was suppose to be. Graduation was to start in a little while. I took a risk and thought maybe I could see my friend in the foreign language part but he was not there.

Sitting in the sun baking was not fun. The "wave" was a disaster as in we could not even get that right. Beach balls were fun. I could not tell how many were behind me but there was at least five from my count looking ahead. When it was time for each college to get up all sorts of things were thrown. There was the program torn up, paper in square shape (I believe), flour or corn tortillas, and confetti. The largest group had to be business. We were big until they were announced.

All in all a memorable graduation with the help of tortillas. Did I forget to mention that I could not sleep at all last night? Then when I did, I had to wake up. It was just one of those nights.

Bonds hits 671!

Bonds is the man! He is god! Ok I was praying something or a miracle would happen and it did. Bonds hit number 671 at about 10.00 p.m., I was watching, and I was happy. He made the game great. Just thinking about it now has made me shed a tear of joy. It was Grissom that help tie the game and Barry Bonds to make it a win.

The miracle that I had hoped for, it was a sweet win for the Giants, and I can sense pennant fever. Ok I am a little early but it can happen. I knew he would go for it. I mean the hitting out of the park he had a few bad at bats but he is back in the rhythm. He is smoking and on fire!

Milk Tea places...

Golden Island Cafe
1300 Noriega Street (Sunset District San Francisco)
If you want bad milk tea this is the place for it. Horrible and the tapioca is not even the right constant chewyness. They are suppose to be chewy in the center but instead they are hard. It does not have the right stuff to be the "perfect" tapioca.
5/10 Price: $2.50/$2.75?

Wonderful Foods Co.
2110 Irving Street [Irving near 22nd] (Sunset District San Francisco)
If you go there and want a good milk tea then order the green milk tea. The regular milk tea tastes like coffee for some reason. I made that mistake today. Green milk tea is what you want to order unless you want a coffee tasting milk tea. The tapioca has the "perfect" chewyness.
10/10 Price: $2.50 - $3.00

Imperial Tea Court
1411 Powell Street [on corner of Jackson and Powell] (Chinatown San Francisco)
The tapioca here is perfect. It has the right amount of chew. I believe that the green milk tea is what I order here.
10/10 Price: $2.50 - $3.00

Sweet World
601 Broadway [corner of Broadway and Grant] (Chinatown San Francisco)
This place did not have good milk tea nor the "perfect" tapioca.
5/10 Price: $2.50 - $3.00

Sweet Mart
727 Washington St [on Washington near Portsmouth Square] (Chinatown San Francisco)
Not the greatest place to order milk tea. The tapioca is not that great.
5/10 Price: $2.50 - $3.00

Hydration
310 South 3rd Street [across the street from Mc Donald's] (San Jose Downtown)
If you go there you have to order green milk tea. If you order the green milk tea it will taste just like Fantasia milk tea which is the absolute best. "Perfect" taopicas.
10/10 Price: $2.71 plus tax $0.50 for tapioca

Tapioca Express
457 E San Carlos Street (Downtown San Jose)
Not the greatest place for milk tea those these are all around. The milk tea is horrible and taste like coffee. Tapioca is ok here.
5/10 Price: $2.71 plus tax

Fantasia Coffee & Tea
10933 N Wolfe Road [Cupertino Village] (Cuperino)
The absolute best in tapioca milk tea. The tapioca is "perfect" and the flavor is divine.
10/10 Price: $2.71 plus tax

Q-Cup
10963 N Wolfe Road [Cupertino Village] (Cuperino)
This place has ok milk tea. If I had the choice of going here to Fantasia, I would choose Fantasia. Cannot remember the tapioca here.
7/10 Price: $2.71 plus tax (unsure haven't been there in a while)

Jujubi Cafe
550 Barber Lane [Milpitas Square] (Milpitas)
The milk tea is not that great. I cannot remember if the tapioca was ok.
6/10 Price: $2.75 plus tax (unsure haven't been there in a while)

Fantasia Coffee & Tea
528 Barber Lane [Milpitas Square] (Milpitas)
The taste is almost the same as the one in Cupertino. Just missing a little something.
9/10 Price: $2.71 plus tax

Darn right on that last part of my horoscope and I would have to agree. I do need sleep after last night and the mini power outage.

Horoscope: You'll need to take some rest and above all to restrain your social and mundane activities; have a sufficient sleep.

Thinking about: Graduation and what to wear! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Hangover?!?

2.45 a.m. I had tried to go to sleep with the TV on but no luck. The reason is that it starts to rain. Ok I get over that and try to sleep.

3.00 a.m. and the TV is trying to put me to sleep. It is not working.

3.20 a.m. the only problem that I saw coming was a power outage. There were sparks coming from the power poll outside and then it went dark. The power came back for a little while but going out again when the sparks happened again.

3.30 a.m. the power is out and I am searching for candles. Should have been in bed, but I thought why not find some candles and look for the electric bill to call PG&E. The guy downstairs is allowing his girlfriend to stay while he is away. She was responsible for me not being able to sleep. She was slamming cupboards at 2.45 a.m.

As I am writing on paper with nothing but a candle, I think back to Oprah when she decided to take a trip back to the 1800s or 1700s. Rain is one thing but disrupt me trying to go to sleep is a bad thing. I had so much passion last night I decided to write this out. since it was three something in the morning I could not pick up the phone to say, "Hey I am stuck in a temporary black out. Please entertain me."

3.50 a.m. the power is still out. I believe the power came back around 4.10 a.m. I am the luckiest person in the whole house because it is my privilege to reprogram every since electronic item in the house. I actually hate doing that. Setting clocks and VCRs are not my favorite.

I do end up sleeping before 5.00 a.m. but the only downside was I was awaken at 9.48 a.m. by my own mother who should have know something was strange when the clock on the stove was flashing the wrong time. Going without caffeine for three days and proper sleep is one thing but four with the last day with not enough sleep is really like a hangover.

Brothers Gibb Say the Bee Gees Are Done

May 27, 2:42 PM EST

The Associated Press

Barry and Robin Gibb, who went to Buckingham Palace to be honored Thursday, said the Bee Gees died with their brother, Maurice.

During an emotional ceremony, Prince Charles made the brothers Commanders of the Order of the British Empire, or CBE. Maurice's son, Adam, received the award on his father's behalf.

"It's bittersweet. It would have been wonderful for all three of us to be here," Barry Gibb, 57, said afterward.

"We have mixed feelings. Knowing Mo, this would have been right up his alley. He would have still had his hat on," a reference to Maurice Gibb's beloved black trilby.

Gibb said the Bee Gees are now a thing of the past. "We are not the Bee Gees now, in respect for Mo," he said. "Maybe the time's just right for a bit of free flight. Maybe at some point we will do something together."

Adam Gibb, a 28-year-old film student, looked close to tears after collecting his father's award.

"My mother was supposed to do it, but she wouldn't have been able to" because of the emotion, he said. Maurice Gibb's widow, Yvonne, watched from the audience.

Born on the Isle of Man, the Gibb brothers moved to Manchester in the 1950s. Their '70s disco hits included "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever."

Maurice Gibb died last year at age 53. He suffered a heart attack before undergoing emergency surgery in Miami for an intestinal blockage.

This is crazy talk since it has been about three days since I have had caffeine. I have pretty hair after waking up. I guess the secret is conditioner a lot of conditioner. The day is gloomy and making me want to crawl back into bed and wait for ?Must see TV? later tonight although it will be reruns. I still do not have a job and maybe I should look for jobs not in San Francisco. Commuting to work is not exactly fun.

Stranger things...

I am sitting at my desk surfing on the internet and I look out my window and see a pigeon looking in. yes a pigeon looking into my room from my neighbor's roof. How strange is that? A pigeon looking into your room and then walking away. I guess even pigeons are curious too.

Well I did do something productive today. I did inventory of how much food we have. I could have done the toilet paper and tissue but we have enough and will not run out for a while.

I did look for jobs again but it seems like Wednesday and Tuesday are slow days. I should try the city government site again to see if there are any jobs for me. Running for office would be good, except I do not know anything so that would pointless and I do not have the financial support to back myself up.

Waiting for the results on American Idol was not pretty. I then decided to switch to the game (Giants). My hands are in pain. I do not mind a sore throat but hands hurting are bad. They are red. The game was great. When two runs were scored to make it 4 ? 3 Giants I was hooting and hollering like a fan at the park. Man, I love that game (I believe someone used it for basketball but oh well.)

All By Myself - Eric Carmen

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin' love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't wanna be, all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live, all by myself anymore

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

Fantasy and reality...

I woke up this morning because my phone rang. I wish it was a dream but it was reality. I had to answer it and when I did, I could not sleep again. Before the phone rang I was already debating if should get out of bed or not. The neighbors or someone was blasting a TV or radio. I am really close to writing a note to the neighbors to give them a piece of my mind.

I turned on the TV to find something that would put me back in touch with Mr. Sandman. That did not happen. Then I turned to TBS, watched partly, and listened to Dawson's Creek. Here is where the fantasy comes in.

When I was in high school I would watch that show and think I am a little like Joey Potter. I do not have a father in jail, nor a mother that has passed away, an older sister, and a best friend with those exceptions. What I saw in myself being similar to Joey I will never know. The episode today dealt with Jack being gay and letting his father know.

The discussion that Jen and Ty had about Jack being gay really had me thinking. I mean this was back in 1999 and now it is 2004 and it seems that gay people have not had it easy at all. They have made it big somehow but there is still much that is taboo and cannot be shown on TV.

Then after Dawson's Creek ended I switched to Full House. The fantasy part was that I thought in some ways I was D.J. Tanner. The similarities are that we are the oldest, a little chubby, have younger cousins, and I did have the one best friend while growing up.

Back to reality since I know I am not Joey Potter or D.J. Tanner as much as I wanted to be when I was younger but they were role models to me. I will admit after Full House ended I was sadden because that would be the end of something great of an unusual family but a nice one. When the characters of Dawson's Creek graduated from High school and so did, I felt that the show was not going anywhere and so I stopped watching.

Fantasy and reality are two different things. While reality is that fantasy is a whole lot better if you are down in the dumps. Movies are great for feeling good and fantasy but reality is real and there is nothing to change that fact.

Bonds hits 669!

I woke up in the afternoon today. Just like yesterday. I was still in pain and knew that my body did not want to get out of bed. It also pained me to turn from left side to right side. Then I did get out of bed and it was about 3.00 p.m. I did make some lunch I believe and cleaned up my room. I mean what else am I going to do besides look for a job online? It only takes about an hour or so to look online to find a job. Then one that you are suited to do is even harder. I do look everyday.

Have no clue about baseball today other than they were back home playing against the Diamondbacks is pretty awful. I would normally watch the game but I could not figure out which channel it was on. I did have the MSN version in real time (I guess) on. Therefore, I missed it. They are doing well now the Giants. They are on fire.

Exercise is good. Too much is painful. The three-day rule is something to remember. After three days if you do not exercise, you lose it. Therefore, the next time do you work out and then stop for more than three days you are back to square one.

Barry Bonds hit his first homer in nearly a month, a solo shot in the sixth inning off Diamondbacks starter Casey Fossum (0-2) that the Diamondbacks argued did not reach the seats, glancing either off the top of the fence or off a fan's glove. Whatever the case, Bonds registered career homer No. 669 on the play. Full article here.

Hula hooping...

Hula hooping is something I am sure most girls have done when they were young. I myself was good at it when I was young. I believe that at one time I could have the hoop stay on me for 10 minutes or 15 minutes. I recently started up again hoping that it would be a good way to take a few inches off the waist or just to strengthen my stomach muscles.

I have had to start from 30 seconds and work my way up. I can keep it for five minutes but not all at once. I am slowly working up to five minutes straight, which will be a miracle. Push-ups and squats are painful (squats more if combined with lunges). You just forget that if you do not work out for a while and then toss your body into it you pay the price. You walk like a penguin and going to the bathroom is painful.

Well you can believe that I will choose either squats or lunges because one is less painful than the other is. The other reason is one is easier on the knees. Bad knees are bad if it ends up hurting. I will now go to sleep and see if I can get out of bed later today. I know I had a hard time yesterday.

Out Of Reach - Gabrielle

Knew the signs
Wasn't right
I was stupid for a while
Swept away by you
And now I feel like the fool

So confused, my heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach, couldn't see
We were never meant to be

Catch myself from despair
I could drown if I stay here
Keeping busy every day
I know I will be okay

But I was
So confused, my heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach, couldn't see
We were never meant to be

So much hurt, so much pain
Takes a while to regain what is lost inside
And I hope that in time, you'll be out of my mind
I'll be over you

But now I'm
So confused, my heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach, couldn't see
We were never meant to be

Out of reach, so far
You never gave your heart
In my reach, I can see
There's a life out there for me...

Take My Breath Away - Berlin

Watching every motion
In my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean
Finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones
Turning and returning
To some secret place to find
Watching in slow motion
As you turn to me and say
My love

Take my breath away

Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today
I am unafraid

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching every motion
In this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion
Somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn my way and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Deeper And Deeper - Cagnet

There were days
When we use to lounge
Hangin' out in my car
Till the sun went down

When I'd call
You'd pick up the phone
Tell me now much you were alone
Let's get deep

If I ever broke down
Gave you what I felt now
Would you still hang around

Are we crazy for feeling this way
You used to laugh until you cried
You and I keeping the world at bay
We'd sit around all day
Let's get deep

If I ever broke down
Gave you what I felt now
Would you still hang around

Closer and closer
every time we turn around
You'll never be lonely
I'll keep you beside me
Deeper and deeper
I'll never go away

Sun falls torrential your highness
I'm think about the days we left behind us
Sunshine and rain and misery
I'm lookin at you beside me here
Now I'don't know how
You came into my life wonderin' will you be my wife
Spend a day or two in Spain or France
In the rain will dance
Your heart next to mine beatin'
In the rain let me explain
Let me do my think and tell you how I feel
This love is for real

Summer's finally found us
The children playing in the sun
Baby can't you see our time has come
Turning on my radio I hear the song, and see your face
Cause you are the one I can't replace
So let's get deep

I would give in Learn to depend
That I'll be there until the end
There were days
When we use to lounge
Hangin' out in my car
Till the sun went down

When I'd call
You'd pick up the phone
Tell me now much you were alone
Let's get deep

I would give in Learn to depend
That I'll be there until the end
Closer and closer
everytime we trun around
You'll never be lonely
I'll keep you beside me
Deeper and deeper
I'll never go away

Closer and closer
everytime we trun around
You'll never be lonely
I'll keep you beside me (x3)

Miss You Finally - Trademark

But I miss you finally
But I miss you finally
Try to remember all these years
We shared the laughter we shared the tears
Thought that forever it would be
I realize you lie to me
I still hold on
Still dream of days when we were one
CHORUS
You played with my heart
You played with my mind
But I miss you finally
Right from the start
My love made me blind
But I miss you finally
All of these promises you made
This 4 letter word it seems to fake
Baby it's hard to understand
Now that you're gone
We reached the end
I still believe
Still dream of days when we were one
Chorus 3X
You played with my heart
You played with my mind
Right from the start
My love made me blind

The Way - Clay Aiken

There's somethin' 'bout the way
You look tonight
There's somethin' 'bout the way that
I can't take my eyes off you

There's somethin' 'bout the way your lips invite
Maybe it's the way that I get nervous when you're around

And I want you to be mine
And if you need a reason why

It's in the way that you move me
And the way that you tease me
That way that I want you tonight

It's the way that you hold me
And the way that you know me
And when I can't find the right words to say
You feel it in the way
Oh, feel it in the way

Somethin' 'bout how you stay on my mind
There's somethin' 'bout the way that
I whisper your name when I'm asleep, oh, girl
Maybe it's the look you get in your eyes
Oh, baby, it's the way that it makes me feel to see you smile
And the reasons they may change
But what I'm feelin' stays the same

In the way that you move me
And the way that you tease me
The way that I want you tonight (tonight)

It's in the way that you know me
And when I can't find the right words to say
You feel it in the way
Oh, feel it in the way

I can't put my fingers on just what it is that make me
Love you, you, baby
So don't ask me to decribe
I get all choked up inside
Just thinkin' 'bout the way

It's in the way that (Oh) You move me
And the way that you tease me
The way that I want you tonight (tonight)

Oh (It's in the way that)
You hold me (the way you hold me, yeah)
And the way that
You know me (the way you know me)
When I can find the right words to say (Feel it in the)
It's in the way that you move me
And the way that you tease me (feelin')
The way-ay-ay-ay-ay (feel it in the way)

There's somethin' 'bout the way you look tonight
There's nothin' more to say than I feel it in the way

Job hunting and website surfing...

You never know what you find online until you do a search for it. I added a link to Sixteen Candles the movie because it was airing this weekend and I just thought it would be nice to have. I do not believe I have mentioned I added a news section on the side. It will be updated when something significant happens in the future. Examples would be weddings, birthdays, concerts, and whatever else I feel like. I wonder whom actually, if anyone reads my blog. I know one person does and I am thankful for that, but it is strange having someone reading about what goes on in you life.

I have decided I have to "grow up". No more acting immature and torturing my brother and I know he would love to hear that. I guess it is time to act 23 *shudder* and not 16 (if not 16 than under 20). I know I do not look 23 but 16 or something (I will stick with 16 because I do somewhat get mistaken for that rarely though) but I act like a typical high school student. Ok I dress like one or not one but I guess I have to say good bye to teenager and hello adult.

So starting today, I will be more mature (or try to) and look for a job. First, I have fix up the old resume that is horrible looking. After that, I will apply for a job that I am sure I can do well at. Applying for a job that you are good at is a good thing right?

Can We Still Be Friends - Mandy Moore

We can't play this game anymore, but
Can we still be friends?
Things just can't go on like before, but
Can we still be friends?

We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Things are said one by one
Before you know it's all gone

Let's admit we made a mistake, but
Can we still be friends?
Heartbreak's never easy to take, but
Can we still be friends?

It's a strange sad affair
Sometimes seems like we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together

La la la la, la la la la
Can we still be friends?
Can we still get together sometime?

We awoke from our dream
Things are not always what they seem
Memories linger on
It's like a sweet sad old song

Crazy antics and a "hot" topic...

Chocolate 5, water 4 oz. (v. bad), seconds hula hooped 30 (way lower than expected but first try in a while)

12.03 a.m. watching Fooly Cooly. I love this anime. Only six episodes and it is strange but interesting. The DVDs are not worth buying because there are only two on each DVD. I would suggest asking a friend who has it on a CD to borrow it and watch it.

Hula hoping in a room that is not that big and for about a minute and 40 seconds is good. Have not hula hooped in years. I guess I can now watch TV and work out at the same time. I have to get it to go around fast because if it is slow it takes more work, which good but then more work. That sentence was so redundant. I also have to learn again how to maintain it in a certain area. Once it starts going down I have to squat a little bring it back up and I forgot it was a little work to do that too. Hmm if I am complaining now I should give up.

Ok not going to give up. I guess it just takes practice. I am sitting and waiting until She Spies comes on. My life has been somewhat reduced to or revolves around friends and TV.

It seems to me that the discussion about how "white" guys always want the "cute" Asian girl. I do not see anything wrong with this but after a while; it is more what is it that white guys see in Asian girls? Is it so they can have a trophy or because it is something different? I just do not get it. Sometimes I do most times I do not.

The media is a big part about how couples should look or portray it as the beautiful people ends up together. Just look at Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey, and others who I cannot think of. If everyone was brought to look beyond images or appearance we would not be having this discussion. I do not think it is always true. The fact that reality TV shows proves it wrong and even the "Average Joe" picks the hot chick and not "Plain Jane." Is it a physical thing or just the appearance? I want to know. Is it I want what she has but "Plain Jane" does not have what I want because she is plain looking?

Ok enough of this. It is 3.30 a.m. and I do not have the brain power to think about this topic anymore.

New phone and Jennifer information...

2.45 p.m. found out my phone has a crack on the screen. You know what this means. Time for a new phone that will be superior! I think I shall get a Nokia but I am not sure they offer ones with MMS.

3.43 p.m. finally have the tapioca made. Mmmm, tapioca. I think I have the two cups worth from the ones I drank yesterday. They were so chewy with the perfect amount of chew like gummy worms or gummy bears.

4.43 p.m. and watching Major League 2. Even though I have seen it at least three times this month it is still funny. Nothing else going on except looking for a new phone.

6.00 p.m. watching QEftSG and it is funny. I feel sorry for Thom. He has probably the most work to do. The best line had to be by Diana his girlfriend, "He is like a bear." My Friends DVD finally came. It has been a week. Too long and I love the fact that I have it now. I just need the three remaining seasons.

7.40 p.m. I turn to FSN and see that A.J. Pierzynski is up and the bases are load with one out. I said and these are my EXACT words, "Grand Slam." He actually did it. I was just shocked. I mean literally you want to right about this stuff and not look stupid, but the fact he hit one out of the park was like, "Oh my god!"

I could not believe what I saw. The Giants won the game nonetheless which is good. While watching Major League 2 the coach or manager made it a point that said you win one already and then you win another and then the third one means you are on a streak. The Giants are on a streak.

It feels like summer now for some reason. Maybe because I have nothing to study for and nothing to look forward to which is depressing. On the one hand, it means I am an adult but on the other hand, I can no longer have summer breaks.

Watching VH1 because that is what old people do. I know I am not old but still. They are doing the VH1 All Access: _________________ (you fill in the blank with all the different ones they do) and I ran across this while searching for something. It has to do with Jen.

* The name Jennifer was the number one ranked name given to girls in the United States during the 1970's. More than 581,000 girls were given the name at birth. This does not include girls whose name is a variation of Jennifer.
* One of the richest Jennifer's in the world is Jennifer Katherine Gates -- the seven year old daughter of Microsoft founder, Bill Gates.
* The pet name for any female animal is Jenny.

My day once my brain worked again...

Chocolate 6, spiders killed 1 (gross), water 14oz., loads of laundry 1

8.30 p.m. If chocolate were cigarettes I would be in the same shape as smokers except that I would have clogged arteries. Who knows maybe I might. Legally Blonde is on right now. Such a super movie. (My impression of Elle Woods.)

9.35 p.m. after figuring out why I was itchy (weird strange spider sense if that is possible) I found or saw a huge spider the size of a quarter. That is nasty. Well the legs were long and it just makes it that much more creepy. At least I stopped itching?

11.17 p.m. and not tired. I am just upset that I missed an hour of the special about siblings. I can always read it online but sometimes visual is better than reading. Sore right shoulder blade area, which is not good, thought I am done with school. Kyan was right about self-massage. I think it is more pain than relief personally. Watching the news is depressing now since there have been many shootings in San Francisco. Most are around where I live but in the city in different locations is scary.

1.42 a.m. I think I am going to sleep after watching the last bit that I taped last night. I know I will need it. The only thing is that I do not feel like sleeping. Might have been the three milk teas that I had today.

Horoscope: Sure, you're headed in twelve directions at once. Deal with the issues at hand.

Barry Bonds...

In his own words:

"I have a shot at Babe Ruth. But to me, it just doesn't seem to be realistic [to catch Aaron] because of the amount of walks and time. It's catching up and that's the way it is," Bonds said. "As a position player, time catches up with you. If I'm DHing, that's one thing, but to play on the field -- the wear and tear.

"If you play a night game [followed by a] day game like we do in San Francisco, it's hard. If we played all night games and all Sunday day games as we used to do in the past, I will tell you that I have a shot at anything. If that were the case, I could get up in the morning like normal. Get myself prepared all day, take naps and have some recovery time. But in San Francisco, there is no recovery time. You play a night game and you come back and play a [12:35] day game. There is no time for your body to heal."

"Inner poise"...

"Lately, therefore, whenever things have risked ranging out of control, I have repeated the phrase "inner poise" and imagined myself wearing white linen and sitting at a table with flowers on it. "Inner poise." No fags for six days now. Have assumed air of dignified hauteur with Daniel and not messaged, flirted or slept with him for three weeks. Only three alcohol units consumed over the last week as gruding concession to Tom, who comoplained that spending the evening with the new vice-free me was like going out for dinner with a whelk, scallop or other flaccid sea-creature."

"My body is a temple. I wonder if it's time to go to bed yet? Oh no, it's only 8:30. Inner poise. Ooh. Telephone." - Bridget Jones's Diary

Chocolate 0 (but early so it might be 5 later), milk tea 3 (too many if you ask me), accidents 2, spiders killed 2

After the final and after I went to the library to return the books, VCD, DVDs, and CDs I went to find my favorite book. I had to find the part about "inner poise" because I had no idea I would need it later.

I leave and head for EB Games to check to see if they have the games my brother wanted. I am standing outside of the store because it was not open. It opens at 10.00 a.m. or so it claims. I only see the games that he is trying to buy on eBay so I called him and said it cost this much do you want it? He says no and wants burritos. Ok I got there and ordered the burritos. It was somewhat loud inside so I could not exactly hear what the guy was saying. I ordered the burritos and he thought I wanted the filling to be mixed. It was partly my fault because I did not say burrito. I wanted refried beans inside and not whole beans. I thought I heard him say, "Do you want beans on the side?" I just gave up.

Next, I went to get my milk tea. I got my free one too. I was holding two milk teas one in each hand walking to the car. I had first thought about where I parked it and if I had locked the door. (This question comes up a lot when I have lack of sleep.) I put one away in the trunk while I finish the other. Go to fill up the tank because it was empty or nearly.

I cleaned the windows and bird crap and then thought the car really needed to be washed. I am not going to do that until it is sunny otherwise my efforts will be in vain. I think I am not going to Great Mall because there is nothing there.

Past the rest stop with that statue, I saw a CHP officer. I was not going fast but a white 4x4 was pulled over. As long as it was not me I am happy. However, I was driving and noticed a fly in the car. It drove me nuts! They are the same flies that appear in my room out of nowhere. Unless I have a fly nest or whatever they are called in my head I have no idea where they come from. I head over to Serramonte because I needed to go to Target to pick up a couple of DVDs.

I did pick up chips (funyuns) which is bad. More junk food when I should not be buy anymore. I take my time heading back. I tried to switch lanes to the center lane but the car in front was being a jerk. Minivan. Then this car beside me did not go fast enough so I could cut in and I almost hit them. It was a semi old lady maybe middle aged who honked at me and I think gave me the finger but I was not paying attention so I just brushed it off. There was no parking so I had to park in front of the driveway.

Pretty much, I am in slow motion mode. I wonder if that is possible. Well I come home and eat my burrito when I am almost half way it falls out of my hand and onto the carpet. Then I am miserable. Except the fact that I did not clean it up right away and my brother stepped on the rice. So all in all I believe the morning was decent except I left later than I wanted. Did not find parking right away, which should have been a sign. The sign before that was the nice CHP officer who was on the side of me and was nice enough not to pull me over. Which reminds me I was walking back to the car and talking to myself and thought about what I would have said to him if I was pulled over.

Can anything else go wrong? Probably. Nevertheless, I am home. Oh, to finish what happened to the burrito it got onto my trouser leg and on both my socks, I believe. Now I have to do a load of laundry. Lucky me right. Might have been thinking inner poise when almost hit the woman.

Horoscope: You hold your position with logic and style. When it's time to give in, you surrender gracefully. Getting along with others is important. You're all here to make things easier for each other.
Mood: Tired.

Last final!!!

7.30 a.m. driving too fast and thought that the gas tank would be empty or something before I reached San Jose. Instead, I was driving too fast in the beginning but when the light turned on and the gauge when back up I thought I am ok. I am driving and knew there would be no CHP on the roads but just to be sure, I did slow down.

I was shocked when I noticed a funny looking car in the fast lane. I thought what kind of car would have lights or a rack on the top on the roof. Little did I know that while I was going at least 80 M.P.H. at the time I would not be stopped by the nice officer. I was slowing down and I was worried I would have no gas left. The unlucky car that was stopped was a little yellow beetle with personalized plates.

9.11 a.m. I have taken my absolute last final. Well ok maybe not my last if I decide to go back to school. Maybe it was 9.10 a.m. I think I did ok on my final. I actually have a sore right hand and I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact I have carpel tunnel? Who knows?

Well I have to finish this and check out the gas prices. I could check out a book but it would be a pain to return it on the day of graduation. I might just find Bridget Jones's Diary and find out what exactly is inner poise.

Oh parking was really a pain today. Just thought I would put that in. At least I found a spot.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - These new chips will be both edible and readable.

Procter and Gamble announced that its Pringles potato chips will include printed words and images in a "variety of colors."

The Cincinnati, Ohio consumer products giant said it was using a "revolutionary" technology for the designs, which will include "fun facts" and animal designs as well as questions and answers from the Trivial Pursuit game.

"This technology is the first-of-its kind in the US to be used on food," the company said in a statement. "The technology uses food coloring and doesn't alter the delicious taste of this popular snack."

The company is teaming up with Hasbro, which makes the Trivial Pursuit game, and will use 2,400 trivia questions and answers from six different Trivial Pursuit Junior categories randomly printed on the potato crisps.

The first Pringles Prints will roll off the assembly lines in June, with Trivial Pursuit chips available in August.

"Pringles is the leader and founder of the stacked crisp category and now we're taking it to a whole new level," said Jamie Egasti, vice president of the firm's North America snacks division.

"With the introduction of Pringles Prints, we have developed a new way to delight consumers by adding fun and excitement to one of kids' favorite lunchtime snacks while delivering incremental volume growth for our customers."

A billboard adverising Tecate beer at an undetermined location is seen in this undated handout file photo. Several Hispanic lawmakers and activists called on a beer distributor Friday, May 14, 2004, to pull the billbaord ads, saying the ads and their tag line, 'Finally, A Cold Latina,' are offensive and propagates negative Hispanic stereotypes. 'These kind of ads promote sort of racist stereotypes of Latina women,' said Zelenne Cardenas, who organized a rally near one of the billboards in Los Angeles Friday. 'As a Latina, I'm tired of being portrayed as sort of a hot-to-trot woman.' (AP Photo/Rep. Roybal-Allard)

Last two hours...

10.25 p.m. just realized I have spent time on eBay when should have been studying but I need breaks right? Now going to read the final article and take notes. Does not matter I have no one to chat with but having self-control over chatting and studying requires discipline which I have 50%. Should be proud of self and not criticizing and should be more understanding. Being hit by a bus sounds fun right about now. Nope must not have these kinds of thoughts.

I think Bridget has taken over me. At least I am not a retread (single girls over 30) because I am not over 30. Ok must get back to work.

11.22 p.m. and have finished the last of the readings. Now must look over the other book we were required to read because there will be questions on the final.

12.58 a.m. have realized I take crap notes. When did this epiphany happen? Well I remember asking the professor about items on the study guide and she said we just talked about it in class. I looked over my notes and realized I never took any of it down. What do I do in class? Daydream and only take down what I want? If I were a note taker for someone, they would be angry with me. Saw the bold print with these words this is a major portion of your exam grade and should be treated seriously is scary. I hate essays because I cannot spell to save my life.

1.09 a.m. Going back to work or study, which I cannot tell anymore what is what. Time to prepare essay. First a little break.

Almost there...

Minutes of TV watched 120, weight same (even if I said my weight no one would believe me), minutes spent thinking about Bridget Jones 60 (too many), chocolate 3 (not good at all)

8.55 p.m. have finished taking a shower to refresh myself and to keep me going for the rest of the night. Not sure how this will work as I must be up at 6.00 a.m. and be at school and sitting in the classroom at 8.00 a.m. parking will be a pain I am sure. There is never parking on Fridays. I must leave house at 6.30 a.m. to ensure parking spot.

Thinking back to the time I was in JROTC and the sayings there were I remember one well that might keep me motivated.

Motivated, motivated, damn well motivated.
Ooo ahhh, you know.

Those might not have been the exact words but somewhere along those lines. Back to studying for the last time, last time.

9.26 p.m. have just finished reading the first of the three articles that are in PDF format. Have taken notes but will probably end up forgetting what was read and doubt there will be many questions on final about each of the articles. Reading them is better than not reading them.

10.04 p.m. finished reading second article but have managed to find excuse to have chocolate. The total is now up to four. I have thought about checking eBay but then thought a chat would be a better treat for reading an article. However if there is no one to chat with then might as well spend time on eBay. No one to chat will so will head to eBay.

Non sense...

Times checked eBay in the last hour 3 (v. good), minutes spent studying so far 120?

7.37 p.m. am losing mind. Have not really started to study but did a little before dinner. It is strange how being full will affect your attention. Sure, there are flies or something similar in room, which the Ionic Breeze is killing because of the little crackles I hear. Thinking it is similar to a bug zapper but not.

Keep thinking about sunscreen and how you need to have it on all the time even when it is not sunny outside. UV rays and other types that are bad for skin as report said on the news the other day. I realized this soon I believe or soon enough for me to put one some sort of sunscreen everyday I go out into the sun with some level of SPF. Click here for information.

I must get back to studying though it might be doing more harm than good to inner poise. =)

While searching for information about inner poise I came across this and thought it would be cute or I am just that strange.

30 Things Guys Should Know About Girls
Written by a guy. After years of experience.

1. Whatever you do, don't just show up at their house...they run around in their underwear just like we do.

2. Don't cheat on them. It may seem foolproof, but girls tell each other everything about everything. Trust me, they WILL find out and you will be mud.

3. Beware of every single male relative and all guy friends. Any of them would kick your ass at the drop of a hat, and a lot of them wouldn't even wait for the damn hat.

4. Never miss an opportunity to tell them they're beautiful.

5. Don't refuse to kiss in front of your friends. If they laugh at you, it's because they're jealous.

6. If they slap you hard, you deserved it.

7. Don't be afraid to touch them if you want to. If they're going out with you in the first place, it's because they like being in your arms.

8. If you don't sleep with them, do not tell your friends that you did.

8.5 If you DO sleep with them, don't tell your friends that you did.

9. You can be dirty minded in private, really...most of them are not offended by it...

10. Not all of them eat like birds, a lot of them can eat like whales.

11. Most of them don't mind paying half of everything, but they do discuss these things with their friends. Realize that if you make your girlfriend pay half all the time, everyone will know about it and your friends will know you're a pussy.

11.5. Do you honestly need all your money that much? Be a man, pay all the time!

12. Every girl should eventually get three things from her boyfriend- a stuffed animal, one of his sweatshirts, and a really pretty ring. Even if it's not a serious relationship.

13. Make sure she gets home safely as often as you can. If you're dropping her off, walk her to the door. If you aren't dropping her off, call to be sure she's home safely.

14. If a guy is bothering her, it is your right to kick the shit out of him.

15. If you're talking to a female friend of yours, pull your girlfriend closer.

16. Never, ever slap her, even if it's just in a joking way. Even if she swats you first, and says, "Oh, you're so dumb" or something, never make any gestures back.

17. Go to a chick flick once in a while. She doesn't care whether you enjoy it or not, it just matters that you went.

18. You're dead meat if you can't get along with their pets, parents and best friends. Be prince charming to their friends, Mr. Polite to their parents, and make sure to be nice to their animals.

19. Don't flirt with their moms...that's just freaky.

20. Don't be freaked out by PMS. It's not gross, and it really does make them feel like shit, so be understanding.

21. If you don't like the way they drive, you do it.

22. If you're officially dating, and you're introducing her to your friends, you'd better damn well introduce her as your girlfriend.

23. Don't stress where you go for every date. They really only want to be with you.

24. If they complain that something hurts, rub it for them without being asked.

25. Girls are fragile. Even if you're play fighting/wrestling, be very gentle.

26. Memorize their god damn birthdays. You forget her birthday and you're basically screwed for life.

27. Don't marinade the cologne, but smell good.

28. Don't give her something stupid for her birthday or Christmas or Valentine's day. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be meaningful. Jewelry is always nice.

29. If you think the relationship isn't going to last, don't wait to find out. It will only hurt you more if you draw it out.

30. After you've been dating for a while, realize that they really have started to trust you. When you have a girlfriend who truly trusts you, you have a lot more responsibility, privilege and control than you would think. Be careful with it, most guys would kill for that kind of power, and it can be lost in a nanosecond.

Horoscope: You tend toward the strong, silent type -- or do you? Someone who talks a lot is assaulting your eardrums in a way that's kind of bothersome -- or is it charming?
Mood: Relieved.

The past 24 hours...

3.05 a.m. I shall give up on crisps and chocolate. However if there is a chocolate diet I shall be v. pleased. studying is harder than I thought. after finishing Bridget Jones and how she wrote her Christmas cards I am beginning to feel the exact same. Wonder if she has influenced me more and that would be quite bad. Have not completed even the one chapter said to be working on at around 11.00 p.m. Shame on me. Shall work on it now and hope when tired will sleep blissfully and should probably set alarm to wake me up at dawn for practice for Friday.

Sharing my textbook and at the wall when should be reading the textbook and not staring at anything. Although textbook should be priority. Will end this now and stop procrastinating. seems I have gotten senioritis and would be proper time as I am senior at university. Ok end now.

4.32 a.m. and I have finished reading the textbook! YAY! Now I can take a nice nap and then get up to do this all over again. Why is my life so screwed up? At least I have eaten no chocolate, which is a good thing. Paid for item won on eBay so that I may have it next week a little treat for myself for graduating except the fact have been git for studying.

2.50 p.m. it has hit me like a ton of bricks after looking up the word "noting" I had no idea that it was similar to note. I am serious. when I first read it I was awake and I just had no idea. honestly if I had not looked it up online I would never know what it meant. now that I do. going back to work. TV goes off because it was on to watch the Giants win and Better, set the VCR to tape Oprah today. "Noting plan," I thought was knotting plan. Yeah. See how eight hours of sleep can still screw you up? Back to work.

3.39 p.m. have almost finished outline for essay about cathedral. Only problem is going to be remembering the information. Not looking good at this point because in less than 24 hours, I will be taking my last final exam, which is strange. Now the stress and pressure has finally hit me. Better, set the alarm now or will be late to final.

chocolate 15 (maybe more losing track and from last night so would be in the past 48 hours), caffeine 1 (diet coke with lime), milk tea 3 (but including yesterday), times thought about checking e-mail 20 (v. v. bad), times checked eBay 20 (v. v. bad esp. when suppose to be focusing on final)

I have finished most of the list that I had made up yesterday. Should have had it all done yesterday but did not. Checking eBay is extremely bad since I have bid on items and then find something else for a better price. Should not have placed bid so early regret it now. Am sure when I see the dentist next he will say I have cavities and need drilling.

4.00 p.m. and I have only looked at flash cards once and finished what I started yesterday. Must look over essay information and see if I have answered everything asked then go on to next item on list. Do not have time to blog anymore. At least there is nothing on TV tonight to distract me from studying until 5.00 a.m. and one hour of sleep then eat and drive to school to take final.

Horoscope: You're feeling scattered, and so are the people around you. Cut to the quick.

Update on studying...

chocolate 10 (at last count v. v. poor), chapters read 5 (two from textbook and 3 from Bridget Jones), calories 2500 (junk food alone), water 20 oz. (only good I've done all day), milk tea 2 (one now to keep me awake for the late night)

So I have read two chapters from my textbook. Yay. Or one whole chapter and bits from the second one where I was just looking for information on the items that I am being tested on. So I did do reading. That only took me four hours with time for dinner in the middle. So I have crossed off two of the 6 chapters I have to read. Next, one on the list is 15.

Although I was suppose to have been reading or studying I was following baseball and hockey. Both disappointing for me since I thought the Sharks would take it in Calgary. I will say I am through with chocolate once I get rid (or eat) all that in is the house. Which will not help me lose weight but motivate me to actually do some pushups and or crunches before bed. Well now that I have that all sorted out I should get back to work. Someone please tell me who the bachelor chose in the end. I did try to find spoilers but I think it was Mandy who was chosen. Not sure but someone will recap it for me.

Enough is enough. Must stop procrastinating and get on with studies.

Best book ever!

Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason is so funny. You must read it! Honestly it is a Singleton book but I would not say it is only for women. Quite the opposite really since it would give men a better idea of how women act. Think of the book like What Women Want except in words. If you are not a reader get it as a book on tape. It had me laughing so much. It also tells you how you can end up with someone who you think is just your friend.

I loved this book. Best book I have read all year. Probably the last book I am going to read too. I wish there were a few more. Bridget will always have a place in my heart as well self-help books too. *grin*

LOL funny...

I am sitting here reading Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason when I know I should be reading the textbook. This book is so funny. Chapter 13 was hilarious. I was laughing out loud. If you passed by my room and heard me laughing that loudly you would think I have lost my mind. I have not and just find that this book is funny. I really cannot wait for the movie to come out. Thanks to Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth they made me laugh and smile like I have not in a while. Cheers to you two for making me laugh out loud.

I recommend to anyone who loves Bridget Jones to read this book. It is so funny. I think I will just finish this up and then study. What a way to end one thing and start another.

Horoscope: Duty calls before you're ready. Don't worry, your friends will wait for you. A job well done goes by quickly. Before you know it you'll have another feather in your cap and more free time on your hands.

3.48 a.m....

You have to wonder who is up at this hour on a Wednesday morning. Ok me. Only because I made myself two sandwiches and someone said that it was not good to sleep after eating (though I had done so many time during my first semester). Studying is not going well. Realized that material needed to be known is unknown and only notes from previous semester are helping me come to this conclusion.

Have looked over items need to be reviewed. Confusing part is trying to figure out when the gothic period started and when the Romanesque period ended. Might have to call it quits right now as face is starting to itch. Better wash up and head to bed to wake up in a few hours to seriously start reading book. Am starting to sound a bit like Bridget but have not read book in the past eight hours.

Would not like to look like panda before Friday but am afraid that will happen without a doubt. Must stop sounding like Bridget and try to realize that losing weight is not as important as getting beauty sleep.

Thought about the songs that were sung last night on American Idol and I could have sung every one of them. Of course, I would have been one of the twelve finals on Superstar USA on WB channel. That is just wishful thinking but know I have no talent for singing because tone deaf and monotonous voice. Also am showing age by knowing how to sing Whitney Houston song as well Aretha Franklin.

Horoscope is true because must think back to basics. That is the final and how I will prepare. Must add on to do list outline for essay.
