  • my dear friend Nelly…our 12 years of friendship….

    the beginning…


    (my one and only glamour/star shot…hahahaha)

    Hehe…I love you Nelly! and I can’t believe how many bad pictures we took in our earlier days…
    Bridal shower was pretty hectic, but i had so much fun…I never lifted
    and carried so many things in my life.  pictures to come later…

  • Oh man. craziness!  my week has been pretty hectic and all because of hard finals.  And boy were they all a doozy…

    So…parents were leaving me alone alright while i studied and didn’t
    ask me to do dishes or anything and didn’t complain about my disastrous
    room.

    I had to scan some pictures that i needed this weekend off a computer
    that only has the program where i can edit them, which my dad was going
    to return back to work the next day.  (this is the day before my
    final)

       My dad furiously asks me what i’m doing and basically
    throws down some cds on the ground shouting…”YOU HAVE TO
    STUDY!” 

      I got really scared and almost started trembling back in the day
    whenever he got really scary and ferocious.  I literally saw the
    fire starting to come out of his ears…

      So, instead of yelling back, i calmly explained my situation and
    told him it wouldn’t take me long (20 MINUTES).  He scowled at me
    and didn’t talk to me the rest of the night.  PHEW….good thing i
    hid in my room with my door closed.

    next day after my final…

    Dad: “so how was your final?”

    Me: “hard…”

    Dad: “it’s because all you did was scan pictures and not study…”

    Next day…after my 2nd final…

    Dad: “how was your test?”

    Me: “hard…”

    Dad:  “it’s because you don’t study and all you do is scan pictures…”

    one more to go….and i’ll be done with my FIRST YEAR!  one more to go…

    just want to clarify that my dad isn’t scary…not anymore at least. he used to be before…they’ll be spouts here and there, but I haven’t seen that angry face in a LONG time.

  • So…who wants to help out The Vine and make $100 bucks, just for the
    simple task of helping with 3 other girls with childcare in Laguna
    Woods, saturday, may 26th?  and help make a difference in the
    lives of young, very cute and adorable children?

    Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods (off El Toro Rd)
    Saturday, May 26: 8:45am – 2pm (with 1 hour lunch break, lunch provided)
    Saturday, May 26: 6:30pm – 9:15pm

    I’ll even play with you in between 2-6:30 pm and buy you ice cream…

    not to bad huh?

    Please comment and let me know ASAP!…like by the end of this week!

  • if ANYONE needs to intensely study from Sunday night-Wednesday
    night….let me know.  I’ll be doing the same thing and could use
    some human interaction.

    **I have to mention this because it was the funniest thing ever on a
    Sunday morning going to church…I was driving down Huntington in
    Arcadia and out of a parked car, an ASIAN ELVIS came out of the car in
    a BRIGHT, shiny red elvis suit.  He had the collar, the side
    burns….and if that wasn’t enough, ANOTHER Asian ELVIS came out of the
    passengers side with a WHITE Elvis suit on.  I was verty tempted
    to hop out of the car and ask to take a picture with them.  I
    should learn some killer Elvis impersonation tips from them.

    **Oh
    yeah! i also still have one free ticket left for Magic Mountain. But
    you have to use it before the month is over…so basically, Tuesday is
    your last day. Anyone want it?

  • we took a group photo at the OT banquet and one of the girls looks at her camera and goes…”everyone looks so nice except, Janet is closing her eyes! It looks like she’s taking a nice long nap in the picture!”

    And i’m thinking…”that’s funny. I don’t remember closing my eyes…”

    So i take a look at the picture and i can’t really tell from just the regular view so i suggested that we zoom in and look closer and sure enough my eyes were OPEN. I just have very slitty eyes when i smile.

    This story reminds me of when I was in Jr. high and some girl asked me after i was done laughing if I could see when i smiled….

  • another pointless entry like always…

    this american idol giving back business put me to tears.  Bono is
    so beautiful! and the African children SO beautiful.   I
    think i teared up like 10 times. 

    I really enjoyed all the performances, especially my norebang lady, Kelly clarkson.

    Going to Africa and being in Occupational therapy school where everyone
    has compassion for children and the disadvantaged and want to help…is
    making me a bigger softee than i was before.  It’s good to see
    that there are many people out there are aware of the needs and that
    they want to make a difference in the world in our community. 

    Okay, I don’t consistently watch this show, but
    I have to admit…Best guy: the tall white dude (the other two are too squeaky)
    Best girl: I really liked lakisha before…but i like how unassuming and nice the curly haired girl is. 

    My dad was watching A.I. with me at the tail end and he kept saying over and over again, “black people….they sing so well.”

    Dude…no one told me that the Il Divo men were such a good looking bunch.  One guy sings a little funny though. 

    Man, my mom snores LOUD.

  • magic mountain anyone?

    I have 3 free tickets!

    BUT, i have to use them before the end of this month…

  • So…decided to take up Pastor Marcus’s idea and download the Read the
    Bible in one year audio podcasts this week and listen to it during the
    train, car rides, etc…

    I REALLY didn’t expect to hear this…

    There’s also random nature sounds like waves and birds chirping and
    during the prayer time there are like dolphins squeaking…it’s very
    interesting, yet engaging.  I keep listening to it because i’m so
    amused.  This is a good thing i’m thinking.   It kind of reminds me of
    GOB on Arrested Development. 

    If you have any other suggestions, i would really appreciate a good push in that direction.  thanks!


  • CONGRATS GRACE! have fun in EUROPE!  (thanks Christina for the picture)

    hahaha!  and i caught the stinking boquet too.  I swear i
    wasn’t even trying.  i stood in the back inconspicuously and tried
    to blend in on the side…but then i see the bunch of flowers flying
    towards me…

    I tried to hand it off and give it away but no one would take it. 

    Random people kept asking me when the big date was…I never even heard
    of a curse until that day.  6 months? 1 year?  what?? 
    will someone please clarify?

    I didn’t get the job…i knew it the moment i walked out…

    Does anyone have a really YUMMY and simple pasta recipe?  like one
    that doesn’t use tomatoes?  I’m trying to figure out how to
    perfect the olive oil, garlic, white wine type of pasta sauce…any
    tips?

  • school is driving me up the wazoo!

    And i don’t understand financial aid….all i understand is that i owe a heck of a lot of money…

        perkins? my dad told me that you can get this paid
    off by the government later on?  huh? too good to be true i say…

    I really suck at interviews…
      I interviewed for a position that 15 people are going for and only 5 spots are available. 

    So, the interviewer asks me after she lists off the responsibilities that I would potentially have…
       “do you feel uncomfortable about any of the things i mentioned?”

    of course stupid me replies…”well, the public speaking part…” 
    right when it spilled out of my mouth i realized what i just had
    done.  I was just trying to be myself and comfortable but i messed
    it right there. 

    figures.

    Yeah for softball!!  I’m really excited and love playing even though i’m REALLY inconsistent.  

    hahahaha….


    hahahaha!
