Being a man. Metaphorically, of course.
Today has required a lot of masculinity on my end, and my mother’s as well.
The outrageously expensive and supposedly “designer” coffee table arrived today, packaged in one large box contained inside a wooden crate. Let’s take a moment to actually think about the situation at hand: two Asian females, both of which are stereotypically Asian in height and strength, are left...

2010: A Year in Review
Seeing as how there are only two days left of 2010, I felt that now would be a good time for me to look over the year and decide whether or not I liked it.
Reasons I liked 2010 (in no order):
2010 is a non-prime number ending in 0, meaning it’s divisible by 2 and 5. I like numbers that are divisible by 5!
I got to meet Ryan freakin’ Higa!
Being able to go to UCLA and meet so many...

People wonder why I’m so dirty-minded, and all I have to say is to look at what kinds of people I surround myself with, and there you have it.
Look at what went down when I went to dinner with Efrain, Davina, Michael, and the rest of the Park gang (even though I’m not from Park) tonight.
Davina: OMG, THIS IS SO OILY. I just felt this rush of hot liquid going down my throat!

Back in the 626!
I’ve never been so happy to be back in Alhambra.
The last 24 hours have been pandemonium. After the flight was cancelled, I spent the night trying to figure out what our options were. I called every single number Continental provided on their website, only to get the same damn automated message every time. “Due to inclement weather in the Northeast, we have been experiencing a large...

What I’ve been up to since Friday:
Watched the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall, and the Rockettes are truly amazing. How in the world can they do that many costume and makeup changes so quickly?! I wish I could be a Rockette, but I don’t meet the minimum height requirement. (That, and the minimum experience requirement.) It was such a nice, peppy show that I can almost...

Let it snowwwww
It’s snowing right now! I love how amazing New York looks covered in a coat of snow :)
Pictures up some time soon!

In New York, Day Uno
Merry Christmasssss! :)
I’d just like to get out of my system right now that is a 90% chance of snow tomorrow, with 6-8 inches accumulating overnight! :D Of course, this also means that I’m probably going to get snowed in come Tuesday if the snow doesn’t melt in time, but it’s not like I’m in too big of a hurry to get back to California anyways.
But anyways, that...
THERE'S FREE WIFI!
I love John Wayne :) I’m never going to LAX again if I can help it; it’s loud, crowded, and there’s no free Wifi
I’m playing Neopets, because we’re an hour early for our flight -__-

My neighbor’s garage door sounds like a cat being killed when it’s being closed
I’M LEAVING FOR THE AIRPORT SOON
YAY NEW YORK, asjfhsjdkfhsf
Isabelle & Betty, you should look at jumbahiga.tumblr.com :D
I caught a cold that doesn’t seem to be going away; I hope it doesn’t turn into pneumonia D:
The last thing I ate was a bowl of cereal @ 9:30 AM—I...
Most of the times it seems like parents tend to...

STOP RAINING ALREADY
I’m tired of the rain.
I hate rain, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. The fact that there has now been five or six CONSECUTIVE days of rain is outrageous. If I wanted to be in a rainy city, I’d move to Seattle. -_-
To make things even better, I suspect I’m coming down with something. I’ve literally drank 10 liters of water in the last two days, and I still have a sore...
Excitement!
IT’S SUPPOSED TO SNOW ON CHRISTMAS DAY IN NEW YORK!
Oh my god, I am so giddy about the prospect of seeing some genuine white snow that it doesn’t even matter to me that with snow comes fantastically low temperatures. At this point, I’m willing to risk pneumonia, tuberculosis, hypothermia, and frostbite if it means I get to see some freshly fallen powder. And according to the LA...
Christmas in New York!
Because my mother finally caved in :)
Goodbye New York, hello SD!
I failed to convince my mother. :(
To compensate, she has decided that we’re going down to SD (even though I wanted to go SF to see Christmas lights in Union Square, Betty, and get that awesome boba Betty keeps talking about, though not necessarily in that order) for Christmas weekend. I don’t believe we’ve ever fully explored San Diego, except for trips to the Wild Animal Park...
I left my heart in Manhattan
I’m in the process of convincing my mother to go east for Christmas weekend, so we can spend it in the Big Apple, in traveling distance of my cousins, who live in Boston and Toronto, respectively.
I would love to spend my Christmas on the East Coast, where there are actual seasons and this little weather phenomenon called SNOW. I want to stroll down Fifth Avenue, admiring the Christmas...
Counselor v. teacher
Me: I'm going with Efrain, Davina, and Michael to visit my psychology teacher on Wednesday.
Dad: Why? Do you have an issue you want to discuss with her?
Me: Um, no?
Dad: Then why are you going? If you don't have an issue to discuss with her, why are you going?
Me: To say hi?
Dad: Really? Do you have to go?
Me: Why not?
Dad: *realizations hits*
Dad: OH, YOU MEAN YOUR PSYCHOLOGY TEACHER!
Me: Yeah, who did you think I was talking about?!
Dad: I thought you were talking about a psychology counselor.
Me: -_________-
Back to the old stomping ground
I visited AHS today with Davina, Efrain, Michael, AND DIANA (Sorry!!!!), and I gotta say, it’s a minor miracle I got where I am today, considering how awful this school is.
We spent a good half hour loitering out on 2nd St., trying to figure out how to get in in the first place. Brian, Stephanie, and Helen were all there, but Brian was the one who got Mrs. Blais to let us in.
I stopped by...
Productivity!
Things I did today:
Worked out
Decorated the tree
Made banana bread
Made behind-the-wheel appointment
Put up the wreath
Water the plants
Washed the dishes
Read The Reluctant Fundamentalist (Four months after I was supposed to, oops.)
Needless to say, I not only feel productive, but also domestic. I mean, seriously, I made banana bread! Granted, it was from a mix, but we all gotta start...
I feel like Seth Cohen, pre-Ryan Atwood days, right now: friendless and lonely.
What good is coming back to Alhambra if no one actually wants to hang out with me, and I’m forced to stay home alone for three straight weeks, with no one to talk to and nothing to do. I have no TV to watch, no schoolwork to do, and no one to see.
I should have just stayed at UCLA; at least I wouldn’t...
Home for the holidays
After 10 11 weeks of essentially nonstop working in Westwood, I’m home for winter break, and I already miss D6. I’ve literally been home for three hours, and all I want to do is repack and move right back into my room tomorrow.
It just feels weird being home.
I feel like school has become my home, and home has just become a transitional pitstop between school and whatever else I have...
People are still here, and I already miss everyone :(
FAIL.
Me: Can we make some hot water?
Betty: *turns on hot water maker, starts revving up*
Isabelle: What is that?!
Betty: The hot water maker...
Me: Real smooth, Isabelle.
Isabelle: I thought my laptop was going to blow up!
It needs to be winter quarter already.
I need a chemistry professor who not only knows how to put things into layman’s terms, but also assigns homework and makes it worth 30% of our grade.
I don’t really want it to be winter break. I’m not sure what I can do with three weeks’ worth of free time, especially considering I don’t have much TV to watch, nowhere to go,...
Anonymous asked: What are your views on going to college for name versus going somewhere you fit in as a student and personality?
spottedonbruinwalk:
In light of my friend’s passing, I want to remind everyone that life is short, and that there’s so much more to it than finals, homework, money, etc.
Remind your family, friends, and loved ones how much you care, because you never know when they (or you) might be gone.
Happy holidays, everyone <3
