Sherlock Holmes!
Tuesday, January 13, 2004 04:31 p.m.

I had a dream with Sherlock Holmes in. I needed to hide from someone or something and I got to hide in his little house! It was like a cottage with a lovely backyard and a nice dog.
Aren't you envious, Mei-san? ^_^

Wow. I write, like once a month. -_-;;
Thinking about moving to Xanga. Is free, it seems (unlike lj). =p But a bit scared of seemingly HUGE asian population occupying Xanga.

A week since been back to school, and already behind. Unlike last week, which was nice with no afternoon classes, I do have about 2 days/week with afternoon classes from now on... Really should get on wiht my studying schedule, esp. with USMLE step 1 looming only 5 months away.

Had a scary dream with mass killings (by people hired by the father of the murdered!). Bullets and blood were everywhere. Wonder what this can mean.... hm..... Don't think it was FFX's influence (I was playing FFX before going to sleep, oh, and watched "Clean Sweep" on TLC afterwards), since I was at a peaceful stage where the characters were about to ride Shoopuf. =p

Impressionist! Monet, Manet, Cezanne, oh my! You
appreciate light and color, and you feel a need
to express yourself and the world around you
very vividly yet individually. You are like no
one else!

WHAT TYPE OF ART ARE YOU?

From Mei-san. =)

On another note, I'm re-playing FFX these days. =p (and trying to study and failing.)

One more test left before Christmas break! ^o^
The catch is, this is the most improtant and hardest one. T_T

Currently obsessed with: Space Channel 5 for PS2!
It was very cheap ($15 for a new one and it includes both first and second Space Channel 5 that came out for Dreamcast), so I impulse-bought it, and there's no regret!
I can't do "Bust a Groove" for the life of me, but I could get this pretty easily. It's fun, addicting, and fun. =p Hyper-bouncy-fun-ness. It's saving my sanity during the exam week, too. (but probably not doing any good for my grade since I keep wanting to play it again...)

Music currently stuck in my head: Milkshake by Kelis
Such a horrible song, but so catchy. Can't get it out of my head...

"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
And they're like, it's better than yours
Damn right its beter than yours
I can teach you, but i have to charge!"

Can't wait to go see the LOTR on Friday after exam!

Exam week starts again next Monday (it's not really final since all the courses continue onto next semester). So, I'll be living couped up in my apartment or my boyfriend's apartment or in school (least likely, as I don't like staying there more than necessary) until the 19th.
As you can see, the plan to move to lj has been postponed.. -_-;;;

I was going to be nice and give blood the other day, but was sniffly and was turned down. =(

I wanna log onto Dark Age of Camelot and blast things (I'm an eldritch, a class whose magic power is supposed to be strongest in the realm and has two bolts with cool effects. =D), but should study..... sooo behind my schedule. not panicky yet, but give me a bit more time...

********************************************************

Will it ever end?
Sunday, November 16, 2003 09:39 p.m.

studying for yet another test on Monday.. only two weeks after my finals week! -_-;;
I have been pretty productive today, but I think I'm reaching my motivational limit now... hence, blogging.

Nothing much fun going on, though.. Went to watch Matrix on its opening day, thought it was pretty good even if it wasn't as good as the first one. But it was a closure to a story and it wasn't disappointing.

On another note, will probably open lj account when test is over. =)

Crap. The last entry that I put in about "Kill Bill - part 1" movie got deleted. =( Did people go see it? It wasn't mindless violence (I felt like it had purpose and was fitting to Quentin Tarantino's style), but it was still too violent for me... I'm officially weak-stomached.

Now I'm waiting for Matrix: Revolutions and LOTR: Return of the King. In the meantime, I'd also like to go see Scary Movie 3. ^_^
I watched the first one of Scary Movie on tape and didn't like it, but this one seems promising from the commercials..

On the vaguely related note, I saw costumes from Matrix and LOTR in Halloween store the other day. Trinity and Morpheus and Arwen and Legolas. =p I was like "Where's Ewoyn? I wanna be HER!" =p
I don't think I'm going to be dressing up for Halloween, though... I was entertainging geeky thoughts like "ooh, I'll be FIRST-year med student! With scrubs for anatomy lab and dissector and such!", but I think that's a bit too geeky even for me. ^_^;;;;; Besides, Halloween falls on the last day for finals for me. Yup. I have finals starting on Monday! Microbiology, Psychiatry, and Immunology.... There are just too many viruses, parasites, fungi, and bacteria to memorize............... but hopefully, I'll survive somehow and get drunk on Friday. ^^

gosh, it has been a month since I last posted...

Shoujocon was a lot of fun. I'll be sending out pictures soon... Sorry for the delays! But my hotmail account also got infected with that nasty BigO virus, so I was waiting for it to clear up itself. (I couldn't do anything since it wasn't my computer's problem. Stupid hotmail..) The pictures will be sent out soon, I promise. =)

Nothing much here, really. Studyin studying studying. What's new? ^_^;;; I wish I had an amazing medical stories to entertain you all, but sadly, I don't have any. -_-;;
oh, there is kinda one. In psychiatry lecture today, we learned about suicide... Basically, you don't know why people commit suicide and it's hard to tell the signs...is what we learned (I think.. I fell asleep momentarily and I think we talked about Schizophrenia more..).

Anyhow, the professor showed us a video tape of a governer who commited a public suicide after giving a press conference. I forgot who exactly he was, but I'm sure it was a big news at that time. He was accused of taking money and after he gave an angry statement in a news conference, he took out a gun and shot himself through the mouth. Of course, the video was not shown in public TV, but the prof. got a bootlegged version. -_-;;;

It was so disturbing. So disturbing how one life could end so easily like that. When you see such an action in movies, it'a always slow-motioned and you never see the aftermaths... it's almost beautified in movies. But there was no beauty there. Blood poured from his mouth and nose and how quickly his body slumped down.... His eyes weren't even closed. He looked like an alive person who was just bleeding. (a lot, but still, just bleeding.) Watching the evidences of violence (in this case, it wasn't a violence towards others, but it was still a violence) really makes me abhor violence. War. Crime. Those things.

(there's one of the reasons that I would never be an ER doctor. Can't deal with that much trauma everyday..)

Why can't I get mad without feeling guilty? -_-+++

I feel like I'm suffering from the "good-person" syndrome.... and I do not want to!

Blythe!
Sunday, August 3, 2003 09:06 p.m.

I blame Miko-san for this newfound interest of mine...
I thought Blythe was rather scary-looking when I first saw the pictures (no offense to all the Blythe lovers). But now..... I actually want one of mine. -_-;;; There is this Korean website that lets you have a mini homepage with picture section and whatnot, and I stumbled upon a homepage of a Blythe lover. She had tons of pictures of her and her friends' Blythes in different makeup and clothes and all, and I started thinking that they are cute! ^_^;;; They do have a certain charm.

But I wasn't going to buy any since there isn't any avaiable in the US (as far as I know..), but now Yesasia seems to carry them..... We'll see what happens. The dolls are out of stock anyway.

---------------------------------------

So I finished assembling all the furnitures for my new apartment (desk, file cabinet, bookcase, dresser, coffee table and TV stand). Hector helped me immensely yesterday and I finished up today with help from my family. I really like this place. =D It's a good size in a good location and windows/kitchen/floor/bathroom were done newly only a year ago. Now all I need is bed and sofa/futon in terms of furnitures... but there's no hurry since I will probably not start living there until mid-august, a little before the second year of school starts.
So I'm happy but achy all over now. =p But I LOVE IKEA stuff. Some of the furnitures were from there, some other from other places (but still needed to be put together), and IKEA rules in terms of being easy to put together. The directions are straight-forward and the holes are punched in right. =p and they have pretty good stuff in affordable price for me. =)
So the furnitures are mostly there, and I'll just have to move stuff, which will no doubt a pain... but at least I don't have to pack them all to move all of them in one day. =)

So, I finally got a place in a nice apartment in nice area after two months' stress. It took me a long time, but now at least I have somewhere to live next year. Not that I would have been homeless if I didn't find a place, since I can still commute from home, but I would have been extremely bitter about driving everyday for ~ 2 hours.

Anyhow, so the furniture hunting has begun!
And a new IKEA opened nearby!
Naturally, I went shopping in the new IKEA today. And came back with lots of cute things. =p
I mean, the furnitures were good, too, but I liked shopping there. A lot of pretty things - some of which didn't look so good out of their showroom setting, but still - to look at and go "ooooh~ purrty~~~". It was fun. Still a lot more to buy though... -_-;;;;
Also need to call utilities people and such... and the landlord... now that I think about those things to be done, I get sleepy......
