I will try to make up a post of what's been going on in my life soon, but for now, I just wanted to share a lovely audio clip that made me smile.

 ( I'm yours~ )

Okie, so I lied. I didn't update right away. It's harder than I thought. haha.

But yes, regarding the title of my entry, fellow fans are probably waking up and doing this: o_O to their screens as they look at their daily fandom news.

 ( Last night, I saw a tow truck towing a tow truck. )

hmm...hisashiburi desu ne~

LOL. I apologize. I did say I was going to post my reflection post, but, after reading it, I don't think it's necessary. I mean, I feel like I'm changing, and I honestly feel it's for the better. *sigh* We'll see~

I'll try to get back into the groove of writing entries for this LJ. I kind of miss it, in a way.

Until next time...hopefully tomorrow. XD 

Yes, I know, I'm soo late with this greeting, but it's better that I did it, right?
.......
.......
.......right? :(

I know a certain someone is waiting on my reflections entry of 2009, but I've been too lazy to edit and add on to it. LOL. Yes, I'm a loser. I've been typing away on Microsoft Word about thoughts and feelings this whole winter quarter. Some have actually changed, others have grown stronger, and yeah...putting the piece together is taking quite some time. I'm getting there, I promise!

As a little treat, and I'm pretty sure a certain someone has seen this, I like to end this post with a clip that had made me laugh uncontrollably to the point that my mom barged in and wondered what was wrong with me. *sigh* I hate being a fangirl. I start doing stuff like this. I just couldn't help it.

This clip questions why he is my favorite out of all the members, and it also answers it. <3

I'm back from being emo, I guess. Since last Thursday, I had quite a long time to evaluate myself and my surroundings. I hope to be a better person. =)

Updating about my life has not been a priority at the moment, but I guess I'm doing well. Okay, minus my emo breakdown. haha.

( Now listen to me, come on girl )

After taking 3 midterms, dealing with my asthma, and thinking way too much over everything in a span of a week and a half, I'm tired. I'm done. I want to be alone and sulk. I used this song during my teenage angst years, and yes, I'm going to be using it again now. I don't care. I said I won't be emo, but I will!

I cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
But you'll find that out anyway

Just like before...

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again

Shut up when I'm talking to you

 

-One Step Closer by Linkin Park

Now, I will go take a nap and try to calm myself down. I really don't like myself at the moment. T____T

 

I've been MIA for more than a week. I apologize. I've been sick, and I'm super lazy to think about what I did for the past week. Uh, there was a lot of coughing, sniffling, and a midterm. 2 more midterms, and I'll be done with midterms until the final. Yay? I don't know.....

I just stopped by to say this:
( For he's a jolly, good fellow~ )

....because I feel like crap the next day. T__T
My asthma kicked in again last night, and I feel like it got worse when I got up today. It was quite hard trying to walk up the hill. Breathing has been quite difficult today. >.<

You know how I said I would have a full week? Well, scratch that. My Monday started off at 9 AM, rather than the 8 AM I said I would attend. Aish. I really can't get up for that class, no matter how hard I try. Calculus was a blur and Japanese had me on my toes because we were reading long passages with kanji all over the place, and yeah...I was crossing my fingers in hopes that I wouldn't get picked. Thankfully I didn't. I got back up to my apartment to chill until my 4 PM Physics workshop. What did I do? Uh, I did my Physics homework and watched episode 7 of Boys Before Flowers. haha. I can't forget about watching new episodes of this show. ^^
I headed back down to the campus for my Physics workshop, and as usual, we had no idea what we were doing. We were joined by another person, which was good because she at least had a gist of things to try, rather than the 3 of us who would just end up talking about random things that don't relate to Physics. I got back to the apartment and chatted a bit with Michelle before heading to Foo Foo Tei for some delicious ramen in celebration of Jae's birthday. We stopped by Vanille first to get some mini cakes, and then continued onto Foo Foo Tei. I had a craving for some fried chicken wings, so I ordered the Torikara Ramen which had 3 pieces of chicken wings inside the ramen. I chose shio as the soup base. It was delicious. Yum~ Of course, we couldn't forget the takoyaki. <3
Headed back and ate the the mini cakes. I got the Vienna cake which was like brownie melting in your mouth. Delicious. Also, since it was Jae's birthday, I bothered Tiff. You liked my Hero monologue? XD LOL. She made a pimp post for Jae and we all watched it. Nice way to end the night of Jae's birthday.

I got up yesterday to go to Japanese class. We had a quiz, and it wasn't too bad. We learned a new grammar structure, and I got back my test. Yeah...let's just say kanji screwed me up. T_T Ugh, I need to focus more on writing those dreadful characters. どうして〜？ I got back, made some dumplings and talked to Eileen over lunch. After that, before my Physics lab, I was able to squeeze in finishing my Calculus homework, looking over my Physics lab manual, and watching episode 8 of Boys Before Flowers. Yes, I can't miss a new episode. I need to watch it as soon as possible. haha. I liked this episode, but we know the evil mom is coming up...oh dear. Physics lab was kind of frustrating because I had a partner who was in a hurry to leave for work, so I guess you could say we weren't working at our best. We keep messing up on calculations, and seriously, even if I turned it in, I don't know if it's right. Grr. We'll see. The quiz wasn't too bad, except I screwed up on one answer, but I hope it's not too much points. I got back and chatted with Michelle for a bit because she came over to give us radish-induced pancake-esque thing? LOL. I can't describe it. I'm contemplating about my plans in school now. I don't know. I'll think about it after my first round of midterms are over. I can't think well with allergies and asthma getting in the way as well. T_T
I studied a bit for my Calculus quiz, made a random dinner of a corned beef sandwich, and off I went to my Calculus discussion. I hitched a ride from one of Eileen's frat members, which I thank Eileen for asking her. ^^ Last week's quiz, I don't know how I got it, but I got pretty good grade on it. haha. Amazing. Maybe Marian math does work? I shouldn't bank on it though for the midterm. :P TA left his lecture notes, so he was pretty much working off the textbook until the quiz was passed out. Seriously, he makes things so much harder than it should be. I got back to my apartment, and let me tell you, it was freezing to walk back. Torture. I feel like this is how I get my breathing issues. Wah~
I got back, took a shower, and made my avocado dish to put in the refrigerator to let it chill for a bit. I started chatting and I discovered some goodies. Yay.

( I'm excited for BoA... )

So, I'm back at my apartment in Riverside, chilling the night away before a full week of classes in which I'm planning on attending all of it because well, midterms are coming up. >.<

Oh, and to all the people who celebrate Chinese New Years, I hope you have/had/are having a good celebration with delicious food, spending time with family, and of course, the red envelope. haha.

Today was quite uneventful. LOL. I went to church, dropped off my brother to watch Slumdog Millionaire with his friends, and headed to West Covina for lunch. We went to Chow King for some reason because my mom had a craving which is really weird because she ate at that place quite often when she was in the Philippines. I guess she missed it? haha. Anyways, I just had the chicken plate. Yes, I know, I'm boring. My mom also got some fishballs and yeah. Quite a decent meal, but as typical of a Filipino meal, expensive for what we got. =/

We stopped by the bakery to get some bread, and we headed to another bakery to get some empanada and turon. Yum. Unfortunately I only brought back empanada to the apartment. I was supposed to bring back some turon, but my mom forgot to mention it to me until I called her when I got back to Riverside. LAME.

I pretty much bummed the whole day once we got back from West Covina. I looked through quite a few Jae specials, because, well, it is his birthday. LOL. I also came across an MBC Dance Battle shindig. Personally, I think Super Junior should have won against SS501, but whatevs. I could be biased.:P

( Dance away~ )

I was surprised at how "early" I slept last night. I was even more surprised at what time I woke up today. haha. 10 hours of sleep. WOW. I haven't had that in awhile. XD

I woke up to my dad, telling me to get ready because I need to pick up my car from Longo Toyota after we drop off my brother to his little lunch at Souplantation with Papaya (some youth leadership shindig). I got ready, and had a quick lunch of some leftover Sopas, which is still yummy as ever.

Traffic was kind of everywhere today, from surface streets to the freeway. It took awhile to get to Longo Toyota. My dad still didn't get the back bumper fixed, but he got the brakes and the oil change done. Yay. No more weird brake feeling that I've been having. :X

I got back and looked more into the Gee dance. Yes, I've been researching and practicing the sucker. LOL. Ever since watching a fanboy totally go all out for it, I thought, "Heck, if this boy can do it, I can too!" I've tweaked a few of the things to make it more in sync with how the girls do it, but overall, I think I got it down pat. haha. I don't know if I should be proud of it. >.<

I looked more into the Gee dance because I was waiting for butter to melt. My mom had several bananas waiting to die, and since my mom didn't want it to go to waste, she asked if I could make banana bread. So I did. It came out quite moist. I was surprised because it is usually dry. LOL. Uh, Happy Birthday, Jae. I made banana bread for you. ROFL.

My mom got sent home early from work, and so my mom and my dad headed off to Pechanga to try out their luck. Dude, I wish they hit a jackpot, so I can be totally set for Japan trip x2. XD
I'm so tempted to try gambling, but probably not at this moment. haha.

Before they left, my mom made some chicken and pork adobo. Yum. I haven't had it in forever so it definitely was something I enjoyed eating. The rest of the night, I pretty much caught up with LJ and trying to perfect the Gee dance. haha. Sad, no? I watched The Singing Bee, and I think I'm going to go watch ASAP '09 now while waiting for parentals. I'm sure they'll have food with them. Another yum. I need to stop eating so much too. :P

I leave you with some videos:

( Heechul has moved on to GEE. )

It feels like forever that I haven't updated my LJ, when it's just been 2 days. haha. Eek. 2 days with my Friends Page is not good either. I must catch up and collect icons! haha.

Wednesday night I made dinner. After updating my LJ, I went into the kitchen to marinate some chicken drumsticks. My hand got totally numb because I was touching the drumsticks and it was ice cold. It totally doesn't help that I would dump my hands in warm water right after. Let's just say my hand was quite weak that night. >.<
I also prepared a stir fry with pork, eggplant, and some bok choy-type leaf vegetable. It went okay, I guess, since no one got sick...I hope. haha.
Michelle came over for dinner and also to make some brownies for her roomie's birthday. She is quite early on the celebration, but I guess she goes by the saying, "The earlier, the better." Extra-made brownies were delicious. Thanks, Michelle.

Wednesday also was a night of learning about the effects of alcohol. Oh dear. There are times when I wish I wasn't living in an on-campus apartment. We are required to take this "class" which totally reminded me of online traffic school where we get tortured by lame videos, crappy graphics, and lengthy text to educate us about the wonders of alcohol. A survey was also done, and I must say, it was quite entertaining to go through the survey, but of course, there must also be a test at the end. A passing grade is 80% and if you don't reach it, you have to keep retaking until you do. Fortunately for me, I did it only once, but Tiff, Michelle, and Eileen were having a blast doing it over and over again. LOL. Wednesday night, or shall I say, Thursday morning, ended with watching the couple talks from AADBSK2.

I woke up on Thursday around 11:30 AM with no worries about classes. My next door roomie's music was busting loud, and apaprently it woke Tiff up, but I woke up on my accord. No ghetto music can disturb my sleep, and besides, I got Bolero and Kiss the Baby Sky firing back. Add a little Gee, and it's game over. haha. Keeding, kinda~ :P

But yes, I woke up around 11:30 AM and saw that 6 members of SNSD(minus Taeyeon, Sooyoung!, and Yuri) appeared on MBC every1's Idol Army with 2PM. I couldn't pass up an opportunity to watch some artist interaction. It's quite interesting to see 2PM go all fangirly with the girls. They had signs and a couple of them were running around the girls, promoting the signs. Of course, I'm a sucker for couple selection stuff. I was quite surprised with Seohyun + Junsu and Wooyoung + Tiffany. Of course, Yoona has guys fighting over her. She's quite pretty. Jealous. Taek + Sunny was unexpected, but adorable. I'm quite drawn to Taek and Junho, so yeah, I'm highly amused by everything they do. It ended with Yoona being fought over by Chansung and Khun. It'll continue next week. And yes, I watched it without subs. haha.

After watching it, I emerged from my room to get ready for a late lunch. I had a feeling we'll be going out, and I had Michelle choose a place to go. She had a craving for french onion soup, and so she chose a place in South Coast. It was a nice choice, since I haven't been there in forever. Also, my mom mentioned some cosmetics giveaway shindig because of a certain lawsuit, and so I felt like it was killing two birds with one stone. Unfortunately, the cosmetics was all done or sold out, something like that. The cafe that we went to was called Vie de France. Tiff, Michelle, and I all ordered the same thing, a french onion soup and a sandwich deal. Tiff and Michelle got a chicken salad sandwich, while mine was called The Californian which had ham, cheese, avocado, and grass. haha. Okay, technically the grass is called alfalfa sprouts, but yeah....it reminds me of Biology 5C labs, where we had to count the seeds so they can grow. LAME. Overall, it was a very delicious meal. I tested my lactose tolerancy, and surprisingly, the numerous cheese encounters didn't harm me.

We wandered a bit around South Coast, but seriously, can we really buy anything in this mall? LOL. A freaky Tiffany & Co. guard was looking from the inside of the store, but I mistook him for a mannequin. We ended up in Nordstrom where I browsed around looking for sweaters. Yeah, let's just say I worked my Discover card again. Damn. I am satisfied with my purchases, it'll just hurt my bank account, especially when I should be saving.

We also checked out the Costa Mesa Mitsuwa to see if they have the Boss Coffee that I need to complete my Christmas gifts that I haven't given yet. Unfortunately they didn't, but we also browsed around the bookstore area, and I encountered a Gackt fan. haha. She was gushing how pretty he was. It amused me. There were several magazines that featured Tohoshinki, but none of them tempted me. I think I was quite subdued after purchasing stuff at Nordstrom. LOL.

I was curious about a store that sold Kpop merchandise in the heart of Little Saigon, so we headed over there, without really knowing where it was. Michelle had kind of an inkling, and we asked help from our friend Trisha who was from there. We ended up finding it, but there really wasn't anything at that place. It was kind of a disappointment, but I did try some iced coffee that was supposed to keep me up like no tomorrow. It kind of did, in a way, it kept me up while driving, that's for sure. Michelle and Tiff had the sugar cane drink which was like calamansi juice, just with a different texture. We ended up eating dinner at this $1.99 Vietnamese food place that we passed by while looking for the plaza that the store was at. Go figure that I didn't really order a meal for $1.99, but for $2.75, and it was still quite a pleasant meal. I mean, in total, I paid $5 with Thai Iced Tea. I'm content with that. Man, what I bought is really haunting my post purchases. haha.

We got home at around 8:30 PM, and along the way, I remembered that I had Calculus homework due at midnight. Thankfully it got extended to noon the next day because of some technical problems with WebAssign, but I still did it. I started studying for my Japanese test as well.

I started contemplating too about my status in life. I don't know, I guess I haven't been evaluating my life thoroughly, and sometimes I feel like I'm not taking it seriously enough, but I do hope what I'm doing is of proper way. I'm the type of person who lets life takes its course by itself. I guess you can say I live life through destiny. It sounds cheesy, and I have no idea if that is practical, but for now, I'm content with it.

I hung out with Tiff in her room for quite some time after giving up on studying for Japanese. We had the ceviche that my mom made as a midnight snack, while I showed her the episode of 2PM and SNSD. Yes, I'm even pimping out the show. Well, not to the extent when I'll put it in my LJ. I'll restrain. haha.

Eileen came back from frat activities, if you can call it that. She went to a strip club to help celebrate a fellow member's birthday. She told us her account of it. It's quite interesting to listen about. Also, she entertained us with her numerous Changmin gifs. ROFL. Oh, that one gif of Changmin during the performance of Rising Sun. XD
After that, I just went to sleep.

I woke up today, totally missing Physics and Calculus. Is this something new? Nah. haha. I just got ready for my Japanese class, where I had a test. Before I left, I woke up Eileen, who was dozing off while she should be getting ready for class. Yesterday, before we headed out to South Coast, it was quite gloomy in Riverside, but in South Coast it was quite sunny. So, today, it was gloomy, but I didn't realize the wet floor. So, yeah, it was drizzling. What a change in atmosphere. haha. The Japanese test wasn't too bad until it hit the kanji portion that I didn't know was part of it. Darn. Yeah, let's just say I didn't do too well on the kanji portion. There's always next time. *sigh*

I got back to my apartment and had leftover dinner from Wednesday for lunch. I chatted up with Eileen a bit. We watched a couple of videos, and I showed her the Pinky magazine scans. I think I might just get this magazine because I really like their cute expressions in it. Besides, I like looking through the Pinky magazine in general. Total plus if it comes with a free goodie. haha.

We left Riverside around 3:30 PM, and the drive was quite slow and safe because the road was wet because of the scattered drizzle. I wasn't too sleepy, I had music blasting and I was singing along to it. haha. I got back safe and sound to my brother showing me an interesting parody of SNSD by his school's Kpop club.

( The idea of the plane.... )

....a cold? I hope not. I just feel my asthma kicking in, and I just realized that I don't have my inhaler with me this week. I left it at home. Great. I guess no strenuous activities that will cause me breathing hard. I think it was the cold air while I was walking at 10 PM. T____T

After updating my LJ yesterday, I started working on my Calculus homework. Surprisingly, I was able to get both Calculus and Physics homework done before I ate lunch. After lunch, I started catching up on my Friends List, but I didn't get too far. I couldn't hold it in any longer to watch episode 6 of Boys Before Flowers. I think the story is hitting the depressing mode now, which depresses me. When Jun Pyo is sad, Marian is sad. Oh Ji Hoo, why mus you return?! Keeding, I know it's part of the storyline, but I was having too much fun with Jun Pyo and Jan Di scenes. haha. Yi Jung and Ga Eul, still ftw~!

I ended up taking a nap afterwards until 5:30 PM, when I started studying for my Calculus quiz. Surprisingly, I did better than I thought on my last quiz. I mean, it was still half, but I thought I wasn't even going to hit 50%. LOL. Sad, I know. Ate dinner at around 7 PM at Lothian. Typical dorm food, what else is new? haha.

Once we got back from dinner, I gave up studying. I ended up just getting ready and hitching a ride with Eileen's fellow frat members to my class. It was quite squishy in the back with 4 people, and there was a police car too, but thank goodness we weren't caught. Calculus discussion was depressing as ever. There was another quiz, although I don't know how well I did on that....I do get this stuff more, but sometimes his explanations are soo whack, I'm like, "o_O". He's jero(zero) still amuses me. XD

After class, I speedwalked my way back to the apartments, which may be a factor of me feeling my asthma right. Gah! Don't get sick! Anyways, I stopped by my mailbox and I received a lovely pink slip which indicated my singles have arrived. I like Avex's new CD+DVD packaging. It got more compact, I like. I also got a mini poster. Yay. We gushed a bit about it, and watched the Offshot Movie. Very cute. They were quite smiley which is quite surprising but not really since it was the same day when they went to the Kouhaku press conference.

Not to much to say about today. I'm done with classes. Everything was blah. I feel like blah.

I leave you with a couple of videos and thoughts:

( The Secret Cord?! )

...comes the COLD. My allergies are back~! BOO. T_____T
hmm...that was a really bad pun.
Anyways~

I woke up yesterday at 11:30 AM yesterday to my mom making some awesome ceviche. Yay. Ceviche is bascially salsa with some seafood base meat, like imitation crab and shrimp. Sometimes, my mom would be living on the edge and totally add some squid, but yesterday, she only the aforementioned two. I had quite a refreshing lunch yesterday, that's for sure. ^^

While waiting for her to completely finish, I checked out the episode 5! of Boys Before Flowers. Wah~ I was giggling and loving the episode. Unfortunately Ji Hoo comes back (I know, I do heart Hyun Joog though!). They also went to New Caledonia, which I have never heard of before. There was some more Yi Jung and Ga Eul scenes. Dude, I really hope they get together in this version. They're both too cute for words. Also, Jun Pyo still quite pwns my heart for amusing me oh-so greatly.

( How does he amuse me? )
After lunch, my mom and I decided to head out and do the errands that she was reprimanding me for not getting up early to do. haha. We stopped by the dry cleaners and she freaked out on how much her leather jacket costs to be cleaned. $35, yo. The price that she bought the jacket was cheaper too. My mom has her fail moments too. LOL.
We headed over to Costco which always has the most horrible parking moments ever. Thankfully I was able to find a parking spot with no hassle, just a little far, but as long as I don't fight with anyone, it's all good. I was able to get some Naked OJ for the apartment, and also some Guava juice and water. Yay. My mom also bought a whole cooked pizza, and we ate a slice once we got back home. My mom watched a bit of the Filipino Channel, and we then headed out to 99 Ranch where it was quite decked out in Chinese New Year decorations. There was this interesting bakery good called "Fortune Cake" that had some unique colors of green and pink, and it looked like a flower in a pot or something like that. We purchase a rice cake, Tekoy, which is something my dad really likes. Hell, my dad likes any version of a rice cake. haha.

I got back and just bummed the rest of the night I had left at home. We left at 9 PM, with a little delay because I was watching this new drama from the Filipino Channel called Tayong Dalawa (The Two of Us). It has the same main leads of Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson, the two who did the remake of My Girl.

( Typical Filipino drama. LOL. )
Tiff and I got back to the apartment around 10:15 PM with a nice parking spot. Yay! Also, we had a game night that I didn't know about until Yvonne texted me about it during the afternoon. We ended up playing Settlers, and it was the first time I played, and it is quite an interesting game. There are quite a number of rules, and it is definitely strategy, but once playing it, I'm sure the next time won't be so complicated. Michelle and I were a team, and we were quite failing, just like the color red symbolizes, the FAILS of DongBang. Eileen won, if I'm not mistaken. Either her or Tiffany Kou, but yeah. Congrats to them. We were all pretty much newbies as this, so Yvonne was facilitating like crazy between all of us. Thanks, Yvonne!

The game was quite long, and it pretty much ended around 1 AM. Yvonne and Tiffany Kou headed out because they still had homework to do. I did too, but, you know me. :P

As I went back into my room, I was greeted by a lovely sight:
( They are soo GQ. )

I really like the feeling of not doing anything. It's soothing. haha.

I woke up today at 10:35 AM to get ready for church. We got there just when the mass started, and go figure that my mom decided to choose the pew where a fellow St. Stephen alumni also sitting at. AWKWARD, yo. Thank goodness my dad finally decided to join us, so there was a barrier. During the "Peace Be With You" part, I was shaking as much hands as possible, the other way. LOL.

After church, we decided to eat at Olive Garden. As we were on our way, my mom changed her mind and wanted CPK. I don't like going to the Santa Anita one because it's way too crowded, but my dad didn't want to go to Pasadena because he will have to pay for parking. Aish. So, back to Olive Garden, but when we got there, the wait was 30 minutes, and my dad did not want to wait that long. We then headed over to Macaroni Grill, where there is never a wait. I always find that weird because I totally prefer Macaroni Grill over Olive Garden. Are the breadsticks that good over in Olive Garden?! (If you've watched MadTV, you'll catch the joke). Macaroni Grill has butcher paper over their white tablecloth, and they hand us crayons too, so I was busting out writing a bunch of Japanese stuff. I ordered my usual Mango Iced Tea which was uber good and Carmela's Chicken Rigatoni. Yum~

We headed home after that, and I pretty much bummed the rest of the day away. I watched episode 3 of Boys Before Flowers with english subs and read a bunch of fanfic updates. I was quite pleased with the numerous updates, but as always, after finishing them, I crave for more. No satisfaction. haha. I also caught up on my Friends Page, which just basically consists of icon collecting and commenting on a few friends' entries. I had dinner afterwards, whcih consisted of the leftover from Macaroni Grill. I watched another episode of The Singing Bee but it wasn't exciting because the songs were quite hard. I didn't know any of them. I came back here and caught up on some comments from LJ. 

Exciting day, no? LOL. I like it. It's nice. ^^

OOH! My dad saw a good deal with Qantas Airlines, so we may be going to Australia over the summer or spring break, whatever. Wah~ Exciting, yo!

I leave you videos:
( If you wanna Pretty~?! )

One word that I can describe my day today.

Yesterday, I was able to finish my Physics homework quite fast, so I took nap afterwards. Once I got up, I thought about what Tiff and I would do for the night since Eileen went to a frat shindig and my next door roomie went home. I thought about watching a movie and checked out what was out in theaters. Bride Wars starring Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson looked like a chick flick, and since we haven't watched something like that in awhile, we(Tiff, Michelle, and I), decided to go check it out.

We headed over to Yuchun Restaurant to eat dinner first. I ordered my usual Kimchi Jjigae. It was quite yummy. It's something good during the cold weather, so when we left the restaurant, the outside wasn't freezing cold. ^^
Headed over to the theaters where it was packed with quite a lot of middle school/high school kids running around. They were probably getting picked up by their parents. :P

Anyways, I got my usual Cherry Icee, and we headed over to get seats. We had pretty nice seats, but it seemed quite packed when the movie started. Unfortunately, some viewing problems where met because teens were yapping away. It got better towards the end, but it was quite entertaining to hear people telling them off. haha. The movie was definitely a chick flick. It's not Academy Award worthy, but I'm satiisfied. Plus, I'm partial to Bryan Greenberg who used to play Jake on One Tree HIll. XD

We got back to the apartment and basically just bummed the night away. By the time I realized it was time to sleep, oh dear. haha.

I totally forgot to set the alarm so the 10 AM clinical training was totally missed by 2 hours. Aish. So much for that. T_T
I also got Michelle worried. It didn't help that my phone was on silent, so I couldn't hear her calls. Sorry, Michelle~!
I just got up and started packing my stuff up because I know the training ends at 1 PM. We were able to leave Riverside at about 1:30 and ate lunch at Wanton Forest. Quite a simple meal and cheap too. For the 3 of us, it was $20 with tip included already.
I tried avoiding the traffic on the 60, so I made some side street detours, or as I would like to call it, an adventure. haha.

I dropped Tiff at home and Michelle at her parent's work, and then I got home at 4 PM. My mom was working and my brother was out supposedly studying at Boston Market(?), so I just chilled in my room. I downloaded episode 3 and 4 of Boys Beofre Flowers with subtitles, so I'll probably start watching it tomorrow. ^^
When my mom got back, she had some goodies from her friend who also came back from the Philippines. Yay. I tried some samplings. haha. We had leftovers for dinner, which was fine with me. =)

I went back into my room, and for some reason, I discovered this:
( The things that I oood dooo~ )

After updating yesterday morning, I made lunch consisting of green papaya and ground pork. As I was cooking, Tiff sneaked up on me and freaked me out. haha. Before we started eating lunch, I checked to see if Eileen was in her room. She was sleeping, so I let her be. Tiff and I ended up eating lunch while watching Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations and Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods. One was about Japan while the other was about Trinidad and Tobago. I do sometimes wonder how they can eat the stuff they eat. Just seeing them eat it makes me squirm.

I went back into my room to work on my Calculus homework. Surprisingly it wasn't too hard. I got most of it. At the same time, I got a text from Michelle reminding me about Ellen's kickback. Yvonne called me as well, and at first, I wasn't really feeling it, but I ended up going anyways. With that said, I worked on my Japanese homework as well. Thank goodness there was no quiz to study for.

I bummed the night away, eating dinner, and trying not to get in the way of the next door roomie who was ready to go out clubbing. We headed over to Ellen's place at 10:30 PM. We were one of the first ones there. I watched a round of beer pong. It's quite an interesting game. I tried shooting, and I must say, it's quite hard. I was the designated driver, but I took a shot once a couple more people came. I also took sips of champagne, and just ended up sitting down on the floor. I chatted up with a couple of people, and I realized that I tend to do that so I can avoid awkward silence. More people came, and it started to get loud and late, so it was pretty much time for me to go. Michelle and Yvonne decided to stay a bit longer, while Tiff and I headed home.

When we got back, we saw some pics of the DongBang boys from Saipan and then I went a little weird, as always. Next door roomie came back, btu she knocked out pretty fast because she had training in 5 hours. I ended up knocking out around 2:30-3 AM, and got up quite late. I wouldn't have planned on going to Physics except Ronelle had this little Physics attendance game thing. I guess I won, even if I came late, but I felt like a loser because she was probably still sleeping. LAME. Instead of heading to Calculus afterwards, I left Physics early and came back and closed my eyes for a bit. My eyes were really tearing up, and I was pretty sure I won't be alive in Calculus, so yeah....

I got back down to Japanese class at 10, and there was no one in class that day. I guess because it's Friday. I don't know. Yeah, nothing eventful today in Japanese. After Japanese class, I got a text from Michelle talking about having lunch with Yvonne, Tiff, and herself. Eileen also called me to see if we wanted to walk back together to the apartment. We ended up at the Commons with Eileen and I waiting in quite a long wait for sushi. Yum for Unagi roll. ^^

Headed back afterwards to the apartment where we went kind of crazy and loud thinking we were by ourselves until there was a little bit of silence and we heard our new roomie in her room. Oh dear. We were spazzing too about DongBang because of the cord that Tiff bought that could play iPod videos on the television. We watched for a bit, and Eileen got sleepy. Eileen and Tiff went to take a nap, and I guess I should too, but I thought I should update first. Also, I should work on the Physics homework too.

( I leave you with these clips..... )

Sorry for not updating last night or rather this morning. LOL. I got too excited for no class today, went crazy, and knocked out. XD

Japanese class was fun. My teacher took fangirling to another level by pimping out the SMAP CD, and using the grammar concept of "This looks like...." and "I want to try...." with it.

"This looks like a good CD"
"I want to try listening to it."

Oh sensei, you're soo entertaining. haha.
Also, she made some people stand up in class, and the rest of the class had to guess what they were like. Uh, for example, there's a dude who is talks a lot, and someone said, "He looks lonely." Sad. Just because he talks a lot and wants attention. Also, she made people act out adjectives that we didn't use to describe those people. Someone enacting "busy" was funny.

After Japanese class, I was soo happy because my day was over. I grabbed lunch at the Commons and took it back to the apartment to eat. I had a headache, and my allergies were not helping the situation, so I decided to take a nap. I think I slept for about 3 hours, when I was woken up by quite a lot of banging outside my door because of my next door roomie. I kind of lounged around in my head, listening to 忘れれないで a couple of times because before I went to sleep, I read an entertaining article where Jae was pimping this song out like no tomorrow. haha.

By the time I got up, I decided to work on my Physics homework that was due at 2:15 AM. At first, I was quite depressed because I couldn't get the right answer for one part. I know that the other part would be wrong because the professor sent an e-mail about putting what you think is right. I then realized that the part that I couldn't get correlates to the part that the professor sent an e-mail about, so I was okay.

I got a call from Eileen saying that she wasn't going to be back for awhile, so I kind of got lazy to cook. haha. We decided to head out, but before that, Tiff decided to tell me about a discovery she had about a cord that connects to the TV to play iPod videos. Oh dear, we had quite an entertaining round of vid watching on the television. It feels different. :P

We headed over to Islands and had a good meal. I tried the Kilauea which was supposed to be kind of spicy, but it wasn't. haha. It was still yummy though. ^^

Once we got back to the apartment, we were greeted with this:

( Where's Jae? )
