. . . Tuesday, October 19, 2004 . . . 04:07 p.m. . . .

it was a dark and stormy..... morning. k mebe not stormy, but the clouds were peeing a LOT. my room felt like 4am. rain sucks when you have frizzy hair. i was surprised at the number of umbrellas floating around the school and was glad i had my own. played pool again. jacked some of reggey's fries. dahoon hung up on me cuz phong was with us. midterm went ok-so-so-eh. it was pouring after class. good times............?



. . . Sunday, October 17, 2004 . . . 10:57 p.m. . . .

........... i watched passion of the christ this morning while everyone else was at church. how appropriate, eh? it was pretty good... and really friggin bloody but that's not what got to me. it was everything else. and i CRIED. a few times, in fact. ::sigh..::

people suck.

iei for commission is already done~ and it's a nice thing how as soon as i finish one, another comes in~ now if only things kept going on like this... un un..

this month of RO better be worth it.



. . . Saturday, October 16, 2004 . . . 12:18 p.m. . . .

looks like my antisocial side has a counterpart. i'm so lonely i could cry...



. . . Thursday, October 14, 2004 . . . 10:00 p.m. . . .

aa... i can feel myself slipping into that anti-social void of green slime in a luke warm black pit where wails of resent and loneliness float about. "what the hell does THAT sound like???" use your imagination. this feeling isn't ALL bad though. i get plenty done. like homework, study, work........ but it can also go the complete opposite direction in which i just stay in bed all day or rot in this chair not wanting to be noticed by existence. stress, of course, presents itself as the side dish in all cases.

despite the crappy mood, today was a pretty good day. i met some new people at school while hanging out with the regulars, and we went to play pool in the rec area downstairs. they are quite interesting. after school i headed over to satoshi's, where he made me okonomiyaki~ we watched something called shibuya kaidan 2. plot was kinda myeh... but some of the effects were just damn freaky. screaming... is not good.....;;;

i noticed in 4 out of 5 asian horror movies i've seen, there's a female ghost with a disfigured face mostly covered by long messy black hair and glares at you as her head hangs and moves in the most jerky unnatural ways possible. she died some brutal way and came back to kill people who involved themselves into the thing she last came in contact with. or something of the sort. her laugh, if she laughs, pierces through your brain and echoes in your ears forever. and even though so many movies have this in common, the way they present it can be pretty effective. still... the entertainment industry needs to get more creative. like ring. that was a damn good concept.

anyway... off on another tangent, we (people at school and i) were comparing the pains of being kicked in the nuts vs menstrual cramps. guys would disagree, but i say there are times when a cramp can rival the agony of balls kickage - hell crawls up into your lower belly and sits there like a shredder tearing your insides apart. this can last anywhere from hours to days. i'm sure the degrees of pain differ with the person though. at least guys don't have to expect it at definite time intervals.

and on that happy note, i end my daily thoughts.



. . . Wednesday, October 13, 2004 . . . 11:44 p.m. . . .

my brain has just been filled with 5 chapters of psychology. tomorrow i have a midterm at 9am. le sigh....

sometimes i really wish i had my own place. or something. then it wouldn't matter if dahoon came over and stayed for a few nights. since we're 300 miles apart and both live with family, it's a lot harder to spend a weekend with each other. cuz SLEEPING in the same room is SUUUUCH a big deal. siiiiiiighhhhhsdl;fj2#$#%^%^*........ it gets really damn frustrating... i must say, i really envy cindy for having her own place, even if she does share with roommates. i'm sure it's easier for them to deal with just 1 guy than 2. or even 3. but it's ok. ONE DAY i will have my turn. until then, just suck it up and hold out as long as you can, mirae......



. . . Tuesday, October 12, 2004 . . . 07:06 p.m. . . .

i really love periods........................... anyway..... i moped around school half asleep with body aches and limbs feeling like lead beams, when i decide i can't take the feeling like i'm having my uterus torn to pieces anymore. soicamehomeearly. from there, my mood just kinda slipped downward bit by bit. bit-by-bit came to push when i was pressured into driving down south this weekend... push came to shove later on by someone else. i logged off for fear that i would say something stupid....

i managed to muster up the enthusiasm of trying out a new program. i had never used open canvas before. and i'm liking it, except for the fact that after a while, things take too long to get done. the longer i use it, the more ram it kills.... i even stopped the recording of events and cleared the memory ;_; but still slower... and slower....... anyway... the lines came out really pretty, so i'll prolly start using oc for stuffs soon. iei for progress on commission~

it makes me sad when dahoon logs off without at least a "bye". sure, the last time we said anything was 10 minutes ago, but still!! it's depressing to come back to a box with something to say when you see "so-and-so logged off at -time-". siiiiiiighh..... i miss when things used to be clean.

and i miss my priest.



. . . Monday, October 11, 2004 . . . 08:10 p.m. . . .

i'm lonely...



. . . Saturday, October 9, 2004 . . . 11:20 p.m. . . .

fuaaaaaaaaa~~~ i smell like bbq *_* cindy's dad threw a huge party that was semi-just-for-the-hell-of-it, semi-for-cindy's-bday. lots of.. older people from his business.... and lots of people our age~ :3 i was akwardly reunited with david, frank, and hubert O_O; which turned into good wholesome fun later on :D ate, chatted, played cards... etc etc. i got cindy these earrings that totally wracked my consciousness when i saw them: "THOSE ARE SO CINDY!!! and.. they're also so me...!! T_T dilemma.. to buy for myself, or for her...? /sob" she spazzed when she opened the box and wore them for the night ^_^ i guess she likes them~ IEI~~! <3

those kids are driving me insane. first thing in the morning, they're up wrestling around, yelling, running, whatever. i lose a lot of sleep because of them -_-#### though calvin's actually not that bad. but mark.... i swear he's the spawn of the devil. this morning he held in front of my face a half dead spider by one of its legs. being the perfectly composed lady that i am (pfffttt), i screamed and threw a tantrum =_= on the inside. outward, i just looked at him and told him, "dood that's really gross. go throw it away in the bathroom or something." and when he brought it closer, i smacked him with the brush i was holding. i think i handled that quite well :D

this would be the profile i came up with for those two:
calvin: 9 years old. has a lot of irrational fears so is always with his brother at every possible moment. even in the bathroom. assuming he doesn't get kicked out first. very clever, has a good sense of humor, is expressive, obedient, honest, and kind hearted. 104 lbs at a bit under 5 feet - doesn't like vegetables. he's a little fat boy with a cute smile and a whiney side but won't be bitter for too long if things don't go his way.

mark: 11 years old. "i'm going to be a mean smart guy. cause being smart doesn't mean you're nice." he's manipulative, presumptuous, and his jokes tend to lean toward the insulting end. he's playful, energetic, and very smart. sure, obedient most of the time, but will show his anger and despite the formal language, is quite rude in his answers and tone if something doesn't go his way. 80 lbs at around 5 feet - really likes godunguh (type of fish). his cute smile doesn't make up for the fact that he succeeds in being a thorn in the side, and attempts to blackmail.

those two remind me of me and my brother at their age in some ways....



. . . Friday, October 8, 2004 . . . 06:23 p.m. . . .

my uncle (the father of my cousins) came by unexpectedly to see us (grandparents, kids, me). we all went to lunch, and then it was uncle taking me and the brats out. i didn't know running around with kids could be so friggin complicated. we must've made about 4 stops because they kept arguing and changing their minds about what they wanted. somehow it got sorted out; set new rules on sharing and stuff. thank god cuz i was about ready to bite their heads off with all that whining -_-; uncle = peacemaker <3

speaking of uncle... him and my dad are so alike in some ways it scares me. their skin tone, the way they do their hair, the way they talk and carry themselves.. the way they spend money..... =_=;; he promised mark to get him the gameboydx coming out in november. that thing's $150. i could get a ps2 with that money. PS2'S PLAY GAMES -AND- DVDS!! dual usage! get more for your money! anyway... but yeah, he's a really nice guy. loves his kids and spoils them -_-;; and sometimes isn't strict enough with them. maa... it was pretty cool to see how the kids got so much happier when they saw him. aaa the father-son love ~

anyhoo... i get the house to myself from 7-10 tonight. mebe i'll rent movie and let it run while i draw stuffs *_* tomorrow i get to go out and plaaaaay!!! XD cuz uncle's coming by in the morning to pick up the kids and take them to sf till about 9~ <3 playtiiiime~ <3



. . . Thursday, October 7, 2004 . . . 04:52 p.m. . . .

mmmm....... so i'm locked in the house this weekend.... =_= aunt and uncle are out of town so i gotta help my grandparents watch those brats. same with after the 18th till possibly the 8th of november. sigh........

so i got a 94 on the last meteorology quiz! XD i was scared cuz all the other scores were like.. 40's and 60's so i was like AMAGAD i must've flunked with a 20!! TT___TT but... FUHAHA??? O_O IEEEEIIIIII 94!!! well. that makes the first and last A of the term >_<

i got lemon squares mix *____* BWAHAHAHA i look forward to making this XD



. . . Wednesday, October 6, 2004 . . . 04:59 p.m. . . .

how productive today was. got bills paid, applications and fees sent out, commission sketch done, went out to get a new earpiece to replace the pos i have right now.... man, i was feeling good. till mom called. WHY she called, i have no idea. my mood didn't improve while talking with hoon cuz he got mad at me for still talking/hanging out with phong at school. dahoon, i love you, but i'm not gunna stop making new friends or socializing because you get jealous. and i'm not prohibiting you from making friends, either.

anyway....... mood of goodness went to shit, i have a 5-chapter midterm tomorrow morning. i need to study.



. . . Monday, October 4, 2004 . . . 07:50 p.m. . . .

fuHAH!!! i'm finally done with the new ocha layout *___* http://www.melon-pan.net/ocha

i r teh sick. came home right after test and slept. my throat has never bothered me this much before. gomo's making me drink orange juice constantly and it stings, dood... x_X; soup plz ;_;



. . . Sunday, October 3, 2004 . . . 06:58 p.m. . . .

::fuaaaaaa:: dahoon and bundy came up for the weekend. good times good times~ <3 the santa cruz beach boardwalk has changed a lot o_O; i must've seen half a dozen rides that weren't there 2 years ago. missed out on funnel cake but myeh... mayhaps next time. i think i caught a cold from dahoon -_-;; it's oke beb~ i still <3 you! we must share each other's pain! .. er.. nm... and movies! movies are g00d, man. saw shark tale, shape of things, along came polly, and tomie. who says renting 2+ movies at a time is bad, eh?? that's how i always do it >_<

cindy and i sing the absolute best duet when it comes to "at the beginning"~ <3

aaaaaaa...... korean foooood... *_____* man i'll never get sick of korean food. i find it surprising how several people i know get tired of their own ethnic foods after a few days though o_O;



. . . Wednesday, September 29, 2004 . . . 05:23 p.m. . . .

mmm... so i am quite stressed about things right now. i have a test on monday. so? that's almost a whole week away, mirae. why you trippin?? well..... despite the fact that i really study and feel the exam went well, i still manage to fuck up (as my meteorology quizzes show)... the result, i'm shit scared about geography. to make things even better, i have another meteorology quiz on tuesday. plus my weekend from thursday night to sunday afternoon/evening is booked. aside school, i need a job. and it doesn't make me feel any better when dahoon gets mad about stuff or gives me a hard time about everything. but it's not like he knows how i'm feeling at the moment, so i guess he's excused. then again if he knew, would he have handled things differently? i imagine life at the moment wouldn't seem so bad if there weren't constant noises of kids running around, arguing, playing, etc etc... the supposed quiet-time of being home has transformed into what sounds much like day care. i sense illness coming on if this keeps up for much longer.

. . . Monday, September 27, 2004 . . . 07:50 p.m. . . .

i feel like those dear to me are changing in ways which really suck. when i need someone to lean on, it feels like they don't care or are trying to shut out any help-wanted vibes. i'm sure everyone's had those moments, whichever end it may have been on. and yes, people change so mebe this is the kind of person they're becoming. but damn... there are some i never expected it from..

anyway........ the kids are driving me higher up the omg-i-want-to-shoot-them meter with their incessant yelling running around arguing and whining from 7am to 9pm. i'm still not 100% comfortable sleeping at night. and for those who know what an incredible morning person i am, you can imagine what good it does for me when i wake up to loudass kids right by my door before my alarm goes off. not to mention sleep lackage. siiiiigh...

i need to meet more people. there's a tidbit of something going on at school. hopefully that will expand.



. . . Saturday, September 25, 2004 . . . 11:21 p.m. . . .

whatever is said between us stays in that time, in that place. but the understanding that we share comes with us wherever we go. you have no idea what that means to me.. shh...

ocha wa mada under way. progress the past couple days: revised text. fixed scanner so photos have been scanned. still need to: finish doodles. upload images. write memories page. revise.

oh btw cindy, scan those new pictures for me~! :D at least 600x400 if you could please :3



. . . Friday, September 24, 2004 . . . 12:57 p.m. . . .

.... man wtf is up with kids these days?? i love my uncle to death for getting me a new doorknob and letting me replace my old one. and so much thanks to cong for being there to listen to me in the middle of the night XD i really appreciate it~ and jack :D thanks for teh song, cuz i've been listening to it since you sent it to me X3

this weekend shall be productive! got ocha, report, ro events lined up~! USHA!



. . . Thursday, September 23, 2004 . . . 03:42 p.m. . . .

i am happy to say that the mess has been cleaned up. good times. no guy in the right mind would ask you out after only 10 mins of talking with you. so i assume he was not in his right mind. however today he seemed more sane :D taught me how to play the card game "13", which i kicked bootay in~ /bawi

other than that.. life is quivering between 7-8 on the "how good is life?" scale.



. . . Tuesday, September 21, 2004 . . . 10:30 p.m. . . .

::ahem::

so...... lately i feel like i haven't been living my own life. it's like a month ago life changed overnight - moved in with people i barely knew, new school, different friends, varied routines... my days fill up with plans at spontaneous moments and i got to see people i hadn't seen in a while, too. sometimes i still get that confusion that says "where am i?" and wonder what part of california i'm in.. which leads to "who am i? what am i doing? why am i here?" type ponderings. some things you just don't adjust to very quickly. but you know, for the most part, life is good. it really is.

my little cousins. they're so friggin smart... and unfortunately, have become VERY interested in RO after watching me play for half an hour with bundy. calvin keeps asking, "are you playing ragnarok? when are you gunna plaaaay??" .. this makes me sad -_-;; they keep wanting to watch. and calvin asks if he can have his own "file". he wants to play ;_; NUOOOOOOOOO!! don't plaaaay!! it's bad for youuuuuu!!! TT____TT

on a lighter note~! eh..... there is no lighter note. i miss dahoon a lot. and i really do love him. i do!



. . . Monday, September 20, 2004 . . . 07:29 p.m. . . .

hello world,
after a long weekend of driving, breaking down, being stranded, back to driving, driving some more, playing, and then once again driving, i come back to a household that has increased in residentials by 2. there is now a 9 and 11 year old staying for the next 2-3 weeks. baby cousins they are. and remember me they do not. but it's good to be back. and i never realized how much i missed my house in socal. i can only imagine how much i really miss my saratoga house =_=;;

there's a fucking retard outside who likes to ride circles around the neighborhood on his loudass bike. it's called disturbing the peace, you idiot!

so i met up with li-ping/connie/li today~ <3 we hadn't met in foreeeeever!!! and she's still gorgeous as always <3 tapex hadn't been that fun in a while X3 lots of bonding and catching up and stuffs *_* we should do it again. and i look forward to scary game weekend marathons with you XD i forbid you to start fatal frame without me! and i shall consider what we talked about. you know... THAT thing.. /kis >D



. . . Wednesday, September 15, 2004 . . . 10:44 a.m. . . .

yeah ok.. so i finally remember my dream from last night. eh.. someone's trying to kill me again. and it's not just me this time, but a bunch of other people, too. they have me, dahoon, and like 4 other people from my high school, and were taking us all over the place looking for a good spot to bury us alive with our heads sticking outta the ground x_X;; eh.. no success. i remember getting pissed at my dad and trying to beat him down but my arms lost all their strength. somehow i had this amazing power of persuasion and was able to get us out of a lot of problems. another dream i had, i was back at my saratoga house ;_; and dahoon was there o_O; and we were watching tv -_-a that was pretty much it.

i feel like i was woken many times last night by phone calls. but mebe it was just one... david was apparently quite drunk o_O; which would explain a lot of things >_> heidi seemed like the only sober one, which was good. but DAMMIT WOMAN, IF YOU'RE GUNNA CALL, PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT I'M SAYING, ESPECIALLY IF I'M TIRED! jp :3 <3



. . . Monday, September 13, 2004 . . . 11:54 p.m. . . .

sleep attempt: failed.
like many things in my life.

for the most part, life is going somewhat smoothly. my things to do list is constant and when it isn't, i play ro or work on revamping ocha, which i've been doing for the past few days in between hw assignments and going out :3

last night was some sort of ...... thing.... in which i suddenly started crying while on the phone with dahoon. why? eh.... that's... kinda complicated. it resulted in 4ish hours of sleep, a really tough morning, and unfulfilling nap in the afternoon. mebe that's why i've been so friggin irritable today. i pat myself for controlling the urge to bite some peoples' heads off. /pat

every morning there's coffee and a bagel with cream cheese ready for me when i get downstairs to go to school. it's like a note everyday that says 'good morning, we love you'. my aunt and uncle are so good to me, and they make me eat so much >_< but they've come to accept that i eat when i'm hungry, not when it's meal time. a relief, actually. i'm sooo grateful to have them ;_;

as of the past few months, my dreams have all had common themes or concepts or whatever. one, or any combo of the following? 1) i'm running away from someone/thing that wants to hurt or kill me. 2) i lose someone i love. 3) a lot of times i'm in a particular house that's been in my dreams for a long time, now. weeeeird shit happens in there... it's big with secret passageways in the walls, multiple basements and attics, 3-4 floors, lots of rooms, and i think it's somewhere in a forest. 4) when i'm with a group of people, eventually, somehow, i end up alone. 5) i haven't had happy dreams in forever now.

i can't seem to remember my dreams as well anymore.. makes things more boring..

i'm sorry for not being able to go shopping with you cindy ;_; my cramps were so bad i didn't wanna go anywhere... but i hope you had fun with your sister :3 considering i started yesterday, there's no reason i should be in pain today.... i threw cindy's cycle off, apparently. i'm sorry for that, too! ;_; but yeah.. decided i'd work on revamping ocha and just chill at home today. i ALMOST succeeded. my aunt and uncle said "let's have dinner at in-n-out~ :D" sooo... >_>

just as we got there, heidi called and said "dinner at BJs :D" .........;; and when i said i was already having dinner, she kinda blew her lid and ranted about how i was always "too busy" for her being out with cindy and dahoon and all.. though.. dahoon was only here for a few days... but yeah. you're still more busy than i am!! ::smack:: after dinner i ended up meeting with her and bryant ^^;; iei for pho and tapex? then i pushed everyone over to svgl. i swear this air hockey thing is becoming an addiction. iei for weekends :D i bumped into hella people i hadn't seen in a longass time~ wootness desu~

self-confidence +2

:D

there's this one guy in my humanities class that has slight down syndrome or something of the sort. i remember seeing him on the first day of class. he came through the door, stared at me, and sat diagonally behind me. i could feel him breathing down my neck and burning holes into the back of my head. no joke. when class ended, he held the door open for people, and it took me a while to realize that as i passed him, he was saying, "wait, noo, don't gooo.. noooo..." i was down the hall by the time i realized. what triggered this, you ask? i went to humanities today. and i found i have some work to do, so i checked hw assignment stuffs, and remembered how he burned holes into the side of my head today from the other side of the room... ;_; someone help meee....

on a side note. my vs order came in XD double string bikini~ <3 iei~ <3 ANYONE WANT FREE LIPSTICK FROM VICTORIA'S SECRET? o_O; i have a ticket thingie that says "FREE full-size lipstick of your choice (no purchase necessary. a $13 value). PLUS, receive $10 off any $35 BEAUTY purchase. expires 10/25/04." i don't wear color on my lips >_> so it's quite useless to me... leave comment if you wannit :3 first come first serve desu~

my dream last night involved trying to put a spell on dahoon so our relationship could last forever. it was a forbidden spell and i did everything wrong so i gave up trying after many days. i distinctly remember a small, long mirror with a thick wooden frame... this guy made a wish to have a fish. and there was suddenly a goldfish the size of a great white in the lake nearby. the village people went fishing for it in canoes and the guy who wished for it ran around frantically saying "NOOO SAVE MY FIIISH!!" ....;;; i think talking about bigfoots and lochness monster with eugene a while back triggered that one...

spending days at a time with people is bad for me. four days straight with dahoon, cindy, bundy, and eugene - now that i'm back and on the comp, i'm really lonely and YEARNING to see someone. but i'm also quite tired of being around people. if anyone, i wanna be with dahoon and cuddle ;_; though it seems like we do that all the time, i can never get enough. and his hugs are soooo nice when he actually HUGS me (ie: being wrapped tightly in both arms like kimbap.) it's one of the best feelings in the world, as cliche as that may sound. it's up there with massages and back rubs. but that turd was in such a hurry to leave today that he used a ton of energy trying to peel a stubborn me off him than just hugging me the right way, in which case, less time would have been spent saying goodbye. i am sad. i can never hold him for as long as i want. and i miss him a lot. but i get the feeling like he's feeling, "i'm bored.. and she's no fun anymore.... and i'm bored..... i wanna go back to LA and find something to do..... like hang out with eunice and dina......." or something. mebe i was just being paranoid in thinking that he seemed more distant, that his kisses didn't feel right, or that the way he held me was just mere unconscious habit. amount of happiness over this weekend = amount of disappointments as well....

.........................

i think i will go sleep now.

i didn't miss the internet as much as i thought i would. then again the time without a computer only adds up to 4 days. "where have you been?!" dahoon and bundy came down for le labor day weekend <3 so them, cindy, eugene, and i all chilled together. well.. most of the time. but it was much much fun~ too bad there was so much tv-watching involved. there were times when i wanted to break that thing. but winchester house, wicker park, natural bridges, eatage, morning play, all that was good times good times. much thanks to cindy and her roomies for housing, and bundy for bringing hoon's lazy ass up <3 nyaha~ since my feeble mind is failing at attempts to sort things out, i think i'll stop here and go chill.

my piano-playing has taken a vacation down the shit hole. made me feel worse when i went to the student union study area at school and the people playing piano for-your-listening-pleasure were friggin good. there was this one girl playing reborn complexity x10 versions of final fantasy and random anime songs. lots of different pieces strung together into one really long hella nice piece. i was like *_* wow... i hope someday my drawing talent measures up to her music talent.

.. there's a hummingbird right outside my window :D aww it flew away... D:

school is g00d, just need one more class and i'll be set for full time. must acquire parking permit and text books. after that i gotta find work. wootness desu~



. . . Monday, August 30, 2004 . . . 04:13 p.m. . . .

fuaaaaaa *___* so i get some quiet time to reflect on the past few days. my week-long shopping phase is coming to a close. i must say i am quite happy with my huntings~ got some new outfits and accessories. and eugene's possibly one of the best shopping partner's i've had. also went shopping here and there with steph and cindy~ <3 since most of the weekend was well capped by rene, i shall just do a quick run-by~

friday: heidi dubbed it "girls day out" on my calendar XD her and steph came to my place, and we headed up to rene's in daly city, where haru popped outta nowhere and i fell in love *_* i think he loved me back >D twas sushi lunch at isobune in j-town~! and then crepe dessert as always at sophies! XD and since there was no theater close to rene's playing 'garden state', we decided to just watch a dvd. despite that i was kinda tired and not in the mood for something happy (like comedy >_>), 50 first dates turned out to be quite good and i found myself not nearly as irritable as when it started. we lingered as much as we could before really having to come back home. so it was temporary goodbyes for the night, cuz saturday was gunna be another big day~

saturday: omfgitssohotplzletmedienowkthxbye. i went to pekkle's, where we proceeded to get steph, and then trekked over to santa clara fairgrounds for some paintballing XD but omg why so HOT?!?!? we got there and chilled in the car as long as possible cuz a/c = good. then it started getting warmer. and warmer. ew. when chris got there with rene, us trio went to the tent area after getting kinda lost in another event on the other side of the fence, and met up with rene, chris, and some of his friends :3 the heat did no good for us, BUT! twas much fun and godDAMN paintballs hurt like a biatch! i have 4 bruises, 3 of which are quite visible. people must think i'm abused =_=; we ended right around 4ish, and broke up to hit the showers. rene and steph wanted a slight change in clothes/underwear, so i took them to target. =_= girls will be girls, right...? SHOWER AT MY HOUSE!! after that lovely little tidbit, us three laaaaadies (pffftt) rushed to cupertino to meet with the rest of the group and go to le dinner in campbell XD buca di something? but man IT WAS DAMN GOOD!!! and so filling~~ and had lots and lots of laughs *____* i hadn't laughed that much since cindy and eugene went down to socal. took quite a few pics on my camera X3 perhaps i shall upload them one day if/when i get the equipment for it.

sunday: i actually had planned on just staying home. played ro with dahoon till he got tired and went to sleep. it was nice to be able to take our time and just blah around geffen and payon. the past week or so between us was ew cuz we were fighting every night. i guess i'm the only one to blame, though.. i need 'how to be a good girlfriend 101A'. mebe 'relationships for dummies'. but yeah.. was bored after he went to sleep, so after a while of surfing the net, eugene and i decided to go to the mall to see if i could use the free lipstick coupon i got in the mail from victoria's secret. i... don't wear lipstick...;;; and they didn't have anything with minimal color.. so.. we went into charlotte russe. and much to my happy, they restocked on a top/shirt/dress thingie that i'd wanted since i saw it last week~ XD in my size~! then i found the triplet ring that i'd subconsciously been searching for since i lost mine 2 years ago~ and eugene's a bastard. he remembers cravings from days before and brings them up. watermelon juice. dammit! i want. so we head over to q-cup. and wowwww it was gooood *_____* so all in all, it was a good day.

with being busy with school and seeing people, i know what cindy means by life seeming sooo good. always had something to do, places to go, people to meet. i'll enjoy this while it lasts, cuz soon everyone will be in school or working and noone'll have time to play. i can already feel the stress starting to mount from having to register classes, get school money from parents, and applying for a job. however. after those things get taken care of, it's smooth sailing for a while *_* yep~ life is goooood...



. . . Friday, August 27, 2004 . . . 01:16 a.m. . . .

i feel that need to fingerpaint again. i will show how i feel inside if emotions had physical forms.
i've been able to add 3 out of 4 classes. woot. gotta try again monday.
been hanging out with cindy and eugene a lot lately. good times..
the feeling that i'm the one messing everything up nags at my brain constantly. am i really messing up or am i just going paranoid?



. . . Wednesday, August 25, 2004 . . . 12:00 a.m. . . .

classes start tomorrow. i'm aiming for at least 2. very nervous.
it's amazing how much one can cry in a span of 10 days.
so much turbulence all of a sudden..
what's wrong with me?



. . . Monday, August 23, 2004 . . . 09:03 a.m. . . .

what a shit dream. first there are people trying to eat me. they're hunting me down all over the place. then dahoon dies in an elevator that bugs out. cindy was there but she wasn't being supportive. i cried. then i woke up. still crying. even after i realized it was a dream, which took a while, i still cried. it felt real. what a shitty way to start the day.



. . . Sunday, August 22, 2004 . . . 01:47 p.m. . . .

i'm starting to feel the weight of having a curfew now. but it's not like i wanna complain. i'm sure my aunt and uncle aren't the only ones who would like me home by 11pm. i blame consoles. it's fun playing horror games in a small group with no light and everyone's all tense about what might happen. things like the cat brushing by begin to freak you out like no other, i bet. too bad i missed that little event..

i missed a dinner with cindy, too ;_; palo alto dinner with some of her tayl (?) people, and man.. it's a small world. i didn't know hubert and frank were in it. instead of dinner (which was really early o_O), i was already at a driving range with pekkle, jack, and jeff. watching them was highly amusing, especially when they missed X3 golf is totally not in jack's image hahahaha

i can't remember my dreams anymore. kinda sucks considering it's fun telling people about them. dahoon and cong ask about them, too o_O;;; i heard HP party found a tiara last night. cong says hoon has too soft a heart. too bad it was toward some other girl. ro creates waaaay too much drama. fckin a.

i have hope about working at hallmark again :3 alicia was saying how they wanted me back, esp with the recent drop in workers cuz of school or whatnot. i wouldn't mind driving 20-30 mins to get to work. home <--> hallmark is actually kinda far, hence the time. unlike socal where things are pretty close, but there's so much traffic and shitloads of stoplights that it takes forever to get somewhere. i can't express how refreshing it is to be up here.

school starts wednesday. eugene's supposed to give me a tour of the school tomorrow. i should get some more errands run, too. the people at aeropostale forgot to take the pin-clip thing off my pants. i wonder how i got out of the store without getting beeped..? post offices are hard to get to. drug stores don't seem to carry febreze. my lotion bottle has a crack in the side and lotion squeezes out from there when i try to get it out from the top. puchi's bored. i'm hungry.
