Can't go to bed until I make a quick entry. I have to make it daily! I have to! Or at least try. If I did this earlier today, I would have finally posted pictures of what I've been doing in class! But I honestly have been busy today. Last minute, though, I did my laundry, hung up my uniforms, tidied up my side of the room, and quickly did my homework. I had to do a sketch of what I want to do my chocolate centerpiece on. It's making me nervous. I think I may have picked a pretty complicated thing to do, with my level of experience, at least. I don't know why I put too much on my plate, but yeah. . . I pray it turns out right when it's time for practical. That'll be the last two days of the week I come back after break.

I want to bring my knife kit with me home for thanksgiving break, but I don't know how I'm going to get it on the plane with me. The only way I can think of it being possible is if I boxed up the bag and had it tossed on with my luggage. I'm going to call the airport to find out, because I have to take it with me, otherwise I'm not baking jack!

My dad's buying my ticket for November 20th, at some time at 6 in the morning (theres not many times to choose from, apparently), so I'm going to have to get up super early and catch the shuttle that leaves from the Starbucks across the street every 30 minutes. Man, it's gonna be cold. -__-


I called my mom today after class. I hadn't talked to her in a couple of weeks. I wanted to tell her I'd learned that if she ate good chocolate everyday, it would help her teeth, and shrink her stomach. The more chocolate liqueur in the chocolate, the better it is for you. So eat chocolate peeps!

She wanted to know how I was and all that jazz, asked about my friends. Somehow, we ended up talking about my dad's side of the family and it was really interesting. I learned things I hadn't known before, like that my grandpa was a very important man (was into politics and stuff), shook hands with former president Ronald Reagan! :D Just interesting facts like that. She also told me that she loved my grandmother's ex-husband because he used to give my mom and dad a huge wad of cash when I was a baby. Cash like $300-500 cash! His name's George. hehe, George. I met him when I went to St. Thomas for a cruise, when we stopped in Antigua. He's a very sweet man, and I think it's precious to see my grand-Lydia catching up with him like best friends do.

So yeah, I've been having really good convos with my mom lately. It's relieving when I get off the phone with her. I think the distance is helping with that alot. <3

I talk to Stasha almost every other day. Either that or every weekend. I rarely call her. She calls me. And gives me updates. lol xD And Dede hasn't even asked about me! She hasn't called once! Well then, she's not getting any gifts from me any time soon. pshh.

Okay. I need to go to bed. Omg, yes I do.

Peace!

And be blessed please! <33

Oh what a stressful but happy day! 

I have a pretty big homework assignment due on Wednesday and I haven't started. It was the same assignment as my first class, so it's nothing new, I just wished I did it as each day passed so I wouldn't have to do it all at once on the last day. Eh. Pro-crast-in-a-tion.  

( Yazmin's deprived of clubbing. ) - she says. 

Anyways, OMG and Cyril attacked her!! He's an animal. And barked. >.< 

I don't know how me and Olivia's room ends up being a party, but it does. lol Somehow. 

I drove to the mall at night. On the highway. AT NIGHT. FOR 7.6 MILES. It was alright though. I didn't encounter any stupidmean drivers. Northlake Mall is the greatest!!!!!!  It has Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, Hollister, Journey's, Hot Topic, and other cool places. 

Class was a crazy one; I had to scale my ingredients out like, 4 times! Made scones. And tomorrow, I'm making Challah dough. 

I got some writing done in work study today, but not much. More than this weekend though, which was only about 2 pages. Haven't even finished chapter 12 yet. And I was supposed to have it done last Wednesday. But that's okay. It's getting there. 

* Sorry, this entry's all broken up because I'm superdistracted right now. keke

And now I'm in my room with Cyril,  Yazmin, and Olivia. 

It's amusing. But yeah, I'm gonna go noaz. 
 OMGOD SHINEEE!!!! That's all I have to say bout that. Oh yas. There's been so much awesome kpop updates lately. It's put me on overload!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XDDD
Peace! 

be blessed. <3

Elllo peepels. I'm all registered for next term and it feels super great, especially when you're a transfer student with 24 credit hours already in the system and gets to register early for classes. Everyone is freaking out, having sleepovers so they can get up at 4 in the morning in time to add their classes by 6am. xD For culinary students, there are two times you can go to class: 7am--1pm or 1:45pm-7pm. I have AM labs, and I like it that way because I have the rest of the day to myself while others are just beginning theirs. Alot of peeps have realized that AM labs are better. I have my AM labs for next term, so I have no stresses right now. Feels really good.

I talked to Gwyn on Skype last night. It was an impulse thing cuz I had friends over and I wanted them to meet her. It was Yazmin, Cyril, and Olivia. Cyril, though perverted and potty-mouthed, and a total bad influence, he's also fun to be around. He's super funny and terribly honest. But alot of times, he just needs to shut up. haha

Anyway, he thought Gwyn was cool, and that's all that counts. hehe. Yazmin talked to her about Inuyasha and discussed movies for like 10 seconds, then I spazzed for a while, and said goodbye. It was nice. haha.

I also talked to Stasha a few times this week. She told me about Nate, the guy she kinda likes, and it was very enjoyable to listen to. haha. He's a good kid. I approve. I just think the whole fact that he's short--making him way shorter than Stasha-- is a little awkward. lol  <3


Ok, wow, I need to write now. So behind. 

12/21 of ACHANIS

Tomorrow then! xD

peace.

Today's the end of my awesome four day weekend. XD A lot of people went home, including Ariel and Olivia, so I had the room to myself. I hung out with Yasmine, Portia (her roommate), and Cyril for most of the time.

 

• I've been waking up early every morning this weekend and that makes me feel accomplished. XD

• I rented the movie Mirrors on Friday and Yasmin, Portia, and I watched it late that night. Cyril came in the common room drunk at the end of the movie and we made fun of him. Lol He acts really cute when he's drunk. Like a little kid, literally. Yeah, Cyril likes to drink (but he surprisingly hasn't for a month). He went out with friends and they went to Alley Cat and celebrated a friend's birthday. It was pretty funny.

• On Saturday, we went on a journey to find a Krispy Kreme, and it apparently doesn't exist. T.T I used my gps and drove there, yet the place physically wasn't. It was VERY disappointing.

• There was supposed to be an Italian festival downtown on Saturday, but when we went to walk there, it wasn't there either! I was looking forward to the Italian ice and the pizza toss show and the food! But it was alright because we met two people from on campus and they walked with is. We hung out with them all day and went to Wild Wings. We shared two wing platters and tried all kinds of flavors. I think the Thai one was my favorite.

• Gwyn, I've found a place that has bubble tea!!!!!!!

• Last night, Yasmin and Cyril came to my room to watch things with me. Originally it was just supposed to be me and Yasmin, but Cyril came in and stayed. We watched Boys Before Flowers and she really likes it. And omg, Cyril liked it too! He actually found it interesting. Lol He's like, “Am I gay if I like this show?” hahah! We've been going back and forth. Yasmin wanted us to watch the anime Ghost Hunt, so we'd watch one episode of each. We're on episode 5 of BOF and 5 of Ghost Hunt. This makes me so happy! Cyril and Yasmin are actually hardcore anime fan's dood! Cryil is so up to date with Naruto, it's scary. He's actually reading the latest chapter of it now. Now I kinda want to get up to date with it. So much stuff happened! Lol

• Other than waking up early and such, I haven't done anything productive this weekend. I was supposed to get my hair done, clean my room, finish a chapter, and do my laundry and I did none of it. >.<;; I just had fun. <3

• I realllly dressed up on saturday. I loved the outfit. I got a cute snoopy t-shirt on sale. Bought it because it was only $4. I wore that with my black miniskirt, wore the sheer beige skirt under it, then I wore the checkered suspenders with the striped socks Gwyn gave me. I bought pink glasses from Claire's this weekend, so I wore those on top of the headband I bought from Yesstyle. I took pics, so I'm gonna find the best pic and post it. Hehe

• I made croissants and danish on Thursday. It was sooooo yummy. Omg, sooooo good.

• And that's pretty much all. ^ ^

 

Peace!

 

Be blessed.

SO MUCH to talk about! And I don't even know where to start. Man, I don't even feel like saying everything, but I guess I should try and knock it all out. lol

Here goes: 

* I got a JOB~!!!!! Work study job actually, but hey, it's a job. xDD I started today. 10 hours a week, minimum wage. I work in the Safety and Security office (that's where I was assigned to) and all I'm really expecting to do is sit in the back and wait for someone I can assist. I can listen to my Zune, and even use my laptop, and I'm even encouraged to do my homework there. It's GREAT! I sat around for 4 hours, but I had my Zune and I actually thought up some AMAZINGTASTIC ideas!!! omg, I'm so excited for the book now. I just have to tell Maria about it and see if she likes it. I pretty much thought of a good quarter of the end of the book that we need to fill. If she agrees, I'll have the important build to the climax figured out. Wish me luck! xDD

By the way, I work Monday to Wednesday. Monday: 4-7pm, Tuesday: 4-7pm, Wednesday: 3-7pm. 

*  I started Venoisserie class today. It was the most confuzzling day I've had in class yet. Other than that, MY day wasn't swayed, but it was for others. Some got stressed from the confusion of baker's math and conversion of formulas and stuff. My whole class is all females; 20 girls. It's pretty awesome, and we all clean up after each other. It's nice. But anyway, today one guy was introduced to the class and he was white with looong blonde dreads. He was pretty hot. But later, after there was a miscommunication between the chef and us students, the guy apparently made one too many smart remarks and the next thing I knew, Chef was ushering him out of the class. He'd been kicked out for the rest of the nine days. Now that's tough! 

*  And I can't remember what else to say so I'll get back to you on that. lol I have pictures to post, so yeah. I'll do that REAL SOON! Just not tonight cuz I don't feel like it. Didn't have time. And it's late now. <3

Peace ! 

be blessed. xD

- Raeven

Nights in the common room are fun. ^ ^ But the group of guys I hang out with are such jerks sometimes. lol I wanted to play Halo 3 with them and Yasmine and Alexis, but instead, they started a new game of Madden 09. >.< You can never win with them.

* I started Intro to Cakes class last Tuesday. xD The first day was a little hectic, and messy. lol But today was much better, but still messy. I'm surprised by how little I get on my uniform, thanks to my apron. <3

*We made convenience chocolate cake yesterday, which is just cake mix cake. It was so darn fluffy! Today, we made a scratch batter for carrot cake, then we iced the chocolate cakes and boxed them. They usually store whatever we make into a temp-controlled store room for a later time. So they don't throw away everything, thank God. Really, all the stuff they throw away is unnecessary. You could feed a starving country with the amount they throw away. 

But I finally figured out why they do it. And it's a stupid reason too. It was allowed a few years ago, but when a group of kids left their food in their cars for a few days and ate it, they sued the school for getting sick. Isn't that so RETARDED?! They ruined it for everyone. Who's stupid enough to eat three day old food in a car?!!!

* I caught a cold. >.<;; but it isn't serious. I got a scratchy throat two days ago and it developed into a weak cold. I have a runny nose and a pathetic little cough. I felt a small fever today, and I was ridiculously sleepy all day, but I took a nap, took some medicine an hour ago. I'll be alright. ^ ^ As long as I don't miss class. I freaked out on the first day and went to Walgreens and bought a $7 cough drop thing that's supposed to shorten the duration of a cold. 

* I haven't seen Paul and Mike in a while, but I've passed them up alot. I enjoy their cute smiles and hugs. hehe I see Jamie alot too, but we don't talk much anymore. I think it's cuz we all have our own schedules and stuff. But I still think we have the potential to go out to eat on weekends and stuff. 

* I went to my cousin Tracey's salon last weekend. Me, Olivia, and Cyril went. Cyril went because he had to go to the bank and I told him I'd take him. He said he'd go with us early that frikkin morning to the salon, just so he could go the bank. It was that important to him. lol I've been hanging out with him, Yasmin, Alexis, and more peeps lately. It's fun. I get ALOT of laughs from them. Cyril and Yasmin are childhood friends and they happened to apply at the same uni, so they act like rival siblings all the time. It's so CUTE! They're friendship's like the one s I wish I had with a guy. They mess with each other, but you can just tell that they truly love each other. He leans on her shoulder, and in the common room, when we watch horror movies late at night, he'll fall asleep with his head on her lap. It's just adorable!!!!!!!

By the way, I'm totally giving Tracey more business. All of my buds want their hair done by her now, since Olivia and I came back from her salon. She makes your hair feel so good! xD

* I have pics of alot of stuff I did over the week. I must post them. 

* I'm starting to really find my way around the streets. I found a Books a Million closer to the campus, and without having to tackle the highway. <3 I have a favorite road that takes me EVERYWHERE, and it's beautiful. 

* I watched a scrimmage flag football game of the school at this park a walking distance from the school. IT'S SO GREEN AND PREETY!!! omg, I have a place to write now! omg, Gwyn, Kriss, Stasha,  this place is so picnic worthy!!!!

* I'm in two clubs: Tribe of David (a club where Christians can come together <3), and Baking and Pastry club (because I can't get enough of it. lol)

And that's about it. 

And that's all for now! xDD Until next time! 

be blessed. <3

p.s. - I finally played the sims today! And I made a hot sim. :D

My second official day of labs was much better than the first. Time even seemed to go by faster. But the homework is starting to pile on. It's not that it's alot; it just seems that way when it's put with ironing the uniform, finding out how much time you think you're gonna need to get ready in the morning, if you can fit in breakfast too yada yada. I woke up right on time this morning, had all my stuff ready from last night and was out the door in an hour. I even had a good half hour of breakfast time before class, which was very good. xD

Now, I have to worry about work-study. If I do do that, I'd have a much busier schedule, but it's not that many hours, so it shouldn't be too bad.

I'm eating ramen noodles right now. hehe.

Something interesting: Alot of peeps like my style. I find it very flattering, but being around Gwyna and Kriss all the time has made it nothing. hehe Thanks guys! I mix and match all the time, and I mess around with my hair (well, not too much; just the front bang part. I like to put it up in a mini ponytail thing). I'm infamous for that, because people actually ask me if I'd go out in public with my hair like that. lol They don't say it in a bad way. I guess they just think it's pretty bold. I'm surprisingly comfortable wearing my leggings and skirts with its expressive colors and what-not, despite my shyness. It's my style, and I thank my best friends for the influence. You know who you are, SNNN'ap. <3

I'm also known for my socks. Gwyn's zwesome shoe-socks caused alot of attention. lol My nana bought me a variety of character-socks for some reason, including spongebob and minnie mouse. I think they were on sale or something. Eh, who cares. I wear them to sleep. xDD

After class (which was about Baguettes again. I'm gonna perfect them!), the day was pretty uneventful. I was gonna go out to eat with friends tonight, but it was getting too late, and with class being early tomorrow morning, I didn't want to go anymore. Instead, I DLed music after I ate lunch, started dozing off, then napped for an hour, I think.

I was on my laptop for most of the day, laying around in my room. Then I migrated to the common room to watch Step Up with my roomies on the big screen. Just got back, actually. And I'm not even completely finished with my homework. I plan to sleep at 1, so in between that time, all that I need to get done will be finished. keke, including this LJ post. :DD


P.S. - While looking for a Chik-fil-a in the area the other night, I drove back to the school without any help for the first time! I think I'm finidng my way around! Not in the heart of the city yet, but out of the city. I can drive to Walmart, Dairy Queen, and Chick-fil-a without the hassle of my gps now. YAY ME! <33 xDD

be blessed.

I really shouldn't be updating this late, so I'm gonna make this extremely short. Like, extremely. Really, the only reason I think I'm making this post is because I love the sound my laptop keyboard makes as I type, and I just like typing, so. . .

I had my first class today. It was fun, but tiring. I was starving when I got out.

* Ate as soon as I rushed to my room to change out of my uniform after class at a little after 1pm.

* Went straight back to my room and fell asleep on my bed after I went online on my laptop.

* Set my alarm to go off at around three, but didn't get up until around 5. So I took a lonnnng nap. Hehe, Olivia did the same thing when she came in.

* Me and my roommate and suitemates have concluded that Akoya, our good friend/neighbor, officially lives with us. lol She comes in every hour and hangs with us all the time, then she doesn't leave our room until she decides she wants to go to bed. When I woke up from my nap and tapped Olivia to wake her up, Akoya's head popped up from the other side of her bed, out of NOWHERE! I was all, "where did you come from?!" She was sleeping there apparently also. The girl owns at everything. She's so awesome. And she dances amazing. She won the orientation's dance off and on Thursday, she's competing against the other finalists. hehe. She's gonna win. Cuz she's from St. Thomas. It's nothing serious; just a fun game competition thing. I'll tell you how that goes. xD

Okay, I'll talk more later. I really need to get to bed, if I want to wake up by 5 tomorrow. >.<;;

Peace!

<3

be blessed.

I woke up later than usual this morning. The bed was verrrryy comfortable then, so I went back to sleep. Olivia thought she had pink-eye because her eye was itchy and pink, but I just told her to go back to sleep and see how it looks when she woke up again.

It was another free day today, pretty much. I had to go to a conditionally-accepted student meeting at 2pm because that's what was on my acceptance letter. Apparently, it's because something on my high school transcript posted a red flag and figured I'd need extra help to survive college work, even though I already have 24 credit hours transferred from BCC, all passed. >.< Oh well. I'll accept what I have. After a year of school, and if I've passed, I'll be considered a fully accepted student like everyone else. I really don't think it makes much of a difference. They just want to see me succeed, they say. Eh.

Anyway, here's my bullet list <3:

Neenee, Alexis, and I hung out with Polygon (Paul) and Microphone (Mike) today. I'm still in their room actually. I recorded a bit of them, so I'll have to edit this post later. They're awesome. I think we're gonna be an awesome crew for the duration of our school years. xD

I took them to Walmart today; they needed a few things, like Draino for the sink. lol We jammed to girly songs in the car on the way there. And we're planning to play that Apples game. I forgot what it's called. And possibly movies.

I tried on my uniform this afternoon. It looked supergood. Like, I could've cried. Kidding. But it's still really nice to see, since this is supposedlmy dream.

I talked to Kriss today, and she suggested that I do bullets in my journal. And I'm totally for it, because I'm tired of the filler words. So yeah, that's what I'm gonna do from now on. Probably. <3

be blessed! <3

(quoted:

"Yeah, boys do that too. They go straight to the girl who broke up with her boyfriend." 
boy - "Yeah, to cheer them up." 
girl - "So my cousin introduces himself to the girl, invites her to his house on the same day, they go in his room, to "cheer her up."?
boy - "She comes out of the room with a smile on her face, doesn't she?!" 
(craziness ensues)

I'm in the common room right now, watching Tyler Perry plays with a group of friends and other dormmates. And this was just said. It was hilarious, but perverted.

Today, I needed to go to Walmart to get a few things and Nesha, Alexis, Olivia, Yasmin, and Akoya went with me. We got lost again. >.< We left the campus at around 2pm and didn't get back until 7. I got my temporary debit card from Bank of America today, and when we finally got a parking space on the side of the street, a taxi van came up in front of us and parked, then backed up into my car! But it was just a little hit; nothing scratched of dented, so all is well. BUT, the van just drove off and didn't even wave his hand or SOMETHING to say sorry! Rudeness of the city, I guess.

Yasmin and I both got Walmart cupcakes. lol We both love them alot. Isn't that zwesome!?!?! <33 There was also apparently a huge footbal game today. The Bank of America stadium is right near our school., so when we went to park back in the parking lot, it was used to park the fans, so we had to park across the street. >[

But yeah. Today was fun. I got a New Moon poster at Walmart. To decorate my room. Little by litte, those walls are gonna be filled UP. xDD

My papa called today, just to say hi. Isn't he dorb?! (awwww), and so did nana, to say goodnight. <33 She's gonna send me my hardrive, that I tardedly forgot, and my Yesstyle clothes. And I also talked to Gwyn for a good while. We talked while I walked in the halls. I was wearing socks and slipped when I ran down it. Hit my elbow, but it isn't broken, so it's ok. lol It was super nice. xD

So that was pretty much my day. I really want to make it a routine to watch tv in the common room at night. It's fun hangin around with peeps and laughin and stuff. keke. It's nice.

And that's it for today. Peace!

be blessed. <3

I have TOO much to say about uni life. They're all good, don't worry. I've met soooo many people. And the RA's are so frikkin super awesome. I wanna get a pic with them. And I will, eventually. And I've met someone from St. Thomas and she's awesome! omg, I wish I recorded it. But I'm gonna update another time. I'm gonna go to bed cuz I'm so sleepy.

Peace.

be blessed. <3

I had a really good time this weekend. xD And it's pretty late, so I'm not gonna make this long. Stasha and I went to Kriss', as planned yesterday. Though late getting there, I successfully make another strawberry ice cream cake <3, Kriss showed me French artists (and now I'm gonna search them up and DL French music), started the anticipated movie of Kriss' childhood: MTV's original movie 2+get+her (I think that's how you spell it XD, I wanted to watch moreeeeeee), cut meat for a korean feast of dokbokki (pfft spelled wrong probably), and listened to creepy local legends late last night (in which I was pretty interested in, but very disturbed), and went to bed.

I felt like I was up all night, flopping around, looking blindly around and only seeing blurs (no glasses). It may have been the temperature of the room, which was pretty warm to me, but I just simply couldn't sleep. But Kriss' futon pallet was really comfy, so it most def wasn't that.

Anyway, today we got up pretty early to leave to Hioki's (Hioki's was closed when we got there *Leeteukoink*). Alot of peeps were supposed to come. And Yujae actually came xDD. I followed Gwyn to his house because I had to take my car, and for the whole day, I couldn't keep up with her! It got a little annoying after a while because after we found out that Hioki's was closed, I didn't know we were stopping at, so I had to stop a few times while Andrew's car was behind me, following ME, when I didn't know where to go myself. So that was the down part. Communication kinda failed. Since I didn't know where the places we were goings was, I had to rely on the familiar streets, and that was about it. I was on straight empty when I got home.

But it's ok. My car needs a major tune-up, so it's eating gas like crazy at the mo. We went to this place called Salsa's (?) to eat. It's in downtown Melbizzle. A small local place. The food was really good, but by the time I got my enchiladas, I'd eaten chips and salsa and wasn't hungry anymore. lol Ended up taking a little box home. We gave the place good business, oh yas we did. 14 people total I believe. :D

Sean smothered Yujae lol, but I don't think he knew he was. I told him about personal space later, when I ended up having to give him a ride home tonight. Someone who offered him a ride left him at the school to catch another ride and his parents weren't home, so I gave him a ride. I've been in his situation before, so I know he doesn't mean to be a nuisance/burden/thing. Stasha and I were going to Blockbuster anyway, so it was no problem. So we talked and laughed. Haha, and yeah, when we were sitting in the parking lot of Blackbuster, that's when I told him he should tone it down with Yujae. I know Gwyn already told him, I think, but I thought I'd say it again. lol He seemed to understand, so I'm glad I didn't hurt his feelings.

After we took him home, I dropped off my car to my aunt's house so she can use it for church tomorrow morning. Her car broke down. Sadness. But hopefully, it's nothing serious. I'll have my car back by 1 or 2.

Oh yeah, and how can I forget! I took Yujae home today and we jammed to some tunes. I gave him my Zune to browse through and he took it like an eager little kid! Then he played some Epik High and Alex and Dynamic Duo and Bi/Rain. haha! We had fun. He was surprised Stasha and I knew Bi's It's Raining song and were dancing to it. Thank God the ride wasn't awkward! lol Oh it was jolly fun! xDD When we got to his house, he commented that we had more kpop music than he'd had and wanted to know where we DLed our stuff, so I told him the two websites I used the most and was looking for a paper to write on. He just gave us his hand. lol . So stasha wrote it on his hand and I she was like:

"What's the other one?"
And I was like, "It's Z-degrees.net"
"Uhhhhhhh. . . . . . . . . . . . "
"Z-dash-D-E,"
"uhhhhhhhhhhhh. . . . . . "
"Omg, Stasha are you telling me you can't spell degrees?!"
"I'm confused! It sounds--"
Yujae: "D-e-g-r-e-e, right?"
Me: "*flail* Even Yujae knows how to spell it!"
*Yujae laughs* *Stasha O.O's*
Yujae: "I can just write it" and looks at stasha's jacked up z-deegres and questions it, and I just shake my head.
So then I tell him the rest of the site name and he leaves. Before he goes in, he stops to look at his hand and laughs. So cute! We waved like three times. hehe. :B (aw come on, lemme have my moment :3)

Today was eventful, yes. It was hot and sticky humid, Cassie and the crew came, and more CCSers, and we talked and stuffs at Salsa's. I got to hug Cassie twice, so now I don't feel bad about leaving for school with her knowing now, because I got to got out and do something with her today.

It's so nice to have large groups of peeps to go out with. It's super fun. May be stressful coordinating it, but it all pays off. Andrew's friend Diamond told me it was super boring here and I didn't protest at all cuz it's true. She's a sophomore in college in Boston, so of course that place's better than our town. But I told her it's much better when you have friends to be with, otherwise, it'll be torturous living in this town particularly. She also told me she heard JWU was a really good school, and that's comforting to know.

ummmm, I think that's it. I'm gonna go to bed now xD Soon soon!

Seriously! I knew this was gonna happen. Okay, so my health insurance is crappy. The company whatevs I'm under takes forever to reach on the phone, either because there aren't enough staff to take the phone, or their just a bunch of lazy workers who don't know how to deal with their own costumers. *puff* Yeah, I finally got my route canal done, but it isn't completely fixed. I still need a crown put on it, otherwise, there's no support on the tooth, the root is hallow because its been cleaned out, making the structure of it more fragile, which worries me because I gotta eat carefully and such until it's taken care of.

My previous dentist told me a crown takes two weeks to get made in the lab, then I get it fitted. I ONLY HAVE TWO WEEKS LEFT HERE! I get onto my mom everyday about an appointment, and she's been trying to get me one, but the stoopid insurance can't ever give you a straight answer, so it was only today that my mom got me an appointment. Guess when the appt. is? ? ? August 20th! O.O;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; >| I'm gonna die ugly. I won't have a frikkin tooth. I'm too young for this to be happening to me! I think I have the weakest teeth in the world. I've always had cavities, even when I've cut down on the sweets and such. The dentist is here to haunt me forever!!!!

>.< So yeah, I read on various sites on google about the fastest time you can get a crown on a tooth and all of them say a couple of weeks, so I know I won't be able to get it on time if my appointment's that late. Something ALWAYS has to go wrong when the time starts to run out, doesn't it? Well for me it is.

Hopefully, God can work this out for me. I mean, He always does; I just gotta ask, which I haven't really done, because I tend to try to figure it out myself before bringing it to Him. pfffffft.

So there's still hope. :)


I got up at 7 this morning. xD But I just went to the bathroom and found my place back in bed again, fell back to sleep and didn't get up till 10. Then I made pancakes. Haven't done that in a long time. They were very good. <3 Then I DLed a whole bunch of kpop mvs of various artists while listening to my new Krap tunes. :D I wanted to make a new video. I'm still DLing some more vids, but I have most of the ones I want. The video I want to do won't make sense. It'll just flow with the mood of the song, because I like to listen to good music and watch pretty things. :3 Don't youuuu?

The only time I left the house today was to get the mail and go to Walgreens to get some blank cds. Then it was back to the computer. lol I didn't play any sims today though, sadly. I still haven't fixed my crashing problem yet, but I think I know what I have to do, just haven't done it yet.

Ok, Kebee is the <3best<3 for making a song like Diving from his The Passage album. I've been listening to it nonstop today and last night and I haven't gotten tired of it yet, which means it'll be a definite favorite of mine for yearrrrrrs! Oh, it's such good stuff. It stirs up emotionjunk inside me and makes me want to scream with joy. *sigh* This is what I've been waiting for. And I want more songs that give me this feeling. I predict SHINee will be crankin' out the next jam that I'll love. I'm expecting something delicious from them. I just don't know what it'll be. But I'll wait. ;D

I played around with Photoshop CS2 today and edited today's sim pic. <33 I fooled around with selective color and went overboard. haha



I did not stage this. It happened automatically. When Taejoon (the blue-haired one) was headed out the door from the salon after I changed his hair, the red-head, his friend, gave this shocked reaction. It was so funny! xD Priceless.

The majority of my sim's names are Korean. *hides* But at least the ones that DO have Korean names are because they have it in them, somewhere in the bloodline. The red head even has asian in her, believe it or not. Her dad's black and her mom's asian. Very asian. Her grandpa's sim-Yunho. lol.
Well, until next time! xDD I'm going to Kriss' house tomorrow with Stasha and Gwyn and we're gonna stay the night! xD And I'm gonna make her the strawberry ice cream cake I did for her and Kunhee, but this time I'm doing it at her house because last time I just brought slices; it would've melted if I brought the whole thing. (I think I said this before in an earlier post. Oh well. >.>)

Oh how glad I am to have someone to squee about Sims 2 with. Kriss, this makes me so happy! Thank you for beign addicted to it just as much as I am! xDDDDDDDD

THEN, tomorrow, we're going to Hioki's for a get-together with friends, like the good timez, with Sean and Cassie and Zach and Andrew, and possibly Yujae, and you know, the whole crew. So it should be really fun. Hopefully, someone in my house can spare me a $20. hehe. I love Hioki's. I've only been there once and fell in love. Finally, I get to go back. keke. And I'm gonna order the same thing I had last time, which is pretty generic and predictable: Teriyaki chicken, I believe. Something with chicken and rice. Either way, it was TASTY. <3

Last night Kriss was telling me about these peeps she met on Skype and they currently live in Australia in a sharehouse. She talked to this French guy who started it. The cool thing about a sharehouse is that you get a chance to grow possible lifelong relationships with your fellow tennants and just. . . live together! I'd want to do it if it was with a few people from other countries, like the one she told me about. She even showed me pics of them; they looked like a cute little family!!!!! xDDD Yes, I would love that experience. And I wish I was in that picture. :3

-----Gwyn showed me this Jonghyun/Minho fic thing and it was really cute. Makes me want to read more fics. I should finish reading Gwyn's FT Island oneshot!! Then I can finally leave my superlate comment on it. psssshhh. ------ILUGWYN<3


Ok, seriously, I'm gonna go now. Goodnight! Sleep well!

be blessed. <3

I just DLed a butt-load of Krap albums and I'm gonna have a BALL listening to them all. OMO, I found Dok2, Jungiggo, and Fana's albums! I couldn't find their stuff anywhere. Well, Fana's album link was dead, so I still have to find an active one, but still. I can listen to the other goodies to keep me at bay till I find it.


<-------------------------- See meh icon? See Jonghun's moneyz? That's GANGSTA CASH! >.> I was trying to make the icon match the theme of my topic, but it's not really happenin'. Jonghun's too cute for gangsta moods. And my TOP icon has been replaced with Eli, and I use Eli too much, so. . . .


What the crazz, I have two more weeks of home until I'm in uni. 0.o I'm not literally prepared yet! I have to get all my immunization records sent off to the school, a dentist appointment that's taking forever to be put into motion, and I still need more clothes!

I got this dorm package in the mail from this catalog, which comes with "everything" and the comforter set that came with it is total trash. It's got worst material in it than a sleeping bag. >.< So I'm getting one from Target or something. Also, the pastel/lavender sheets that came with it looks like it's been sitting somewhere for years; the colors are all bold and out of place, nasty orange, NOT PASTEL nastiness! I'm getting other sheets too, thank God. I'm sorry, but my bed has to be pretty and comfy, or I can't sleep on it.

Other than that, I'm peachy! Gwyn and I made a cake yesterday and I brought it to her lunch at school. Her second day of school. From what I got, her first two days, other than its workload, has been blissness! WANNA KNOW WHY? One thing (and maybe others) *whisper* Korean foreign exchange student whose a boy and tall and very cute and his name's Yujae.

Korean foreign exchange student. keke. <3

Now I wish I was a Seniorrrrrr again. In CCS, so I can be friends with him toooo! There BETTER be Koreans in JWU, and I better meet one lots.

Anyways, I had very nice day today. Got oodles of love at Gwyn's table from all the peeps I went to school with. And it was just nice. I can't wait to go to restaurants with them again, like the good ol' times.

Sim pic of the day:




This is obviously Bennet and Stasha's sim AhRin. They're together. keke. AhRin looks like she's scared, but she's not. lawlz xD

WHOA, I just Youtubed this beatboxing guy that does kpop songs and he's SOOOO good at it! He even has links to his songs so we can download them! He wants to be put on Star King, and I'm soooo for that! He's REALLY good. xD He's called the beatboxhitman2. http://www.youtube.com/user/TheBeatboxHitman2     <------------Good stuff right there.
 

OMG EDIT: 
How could I forget to acknowledge the fact that Gwyn and Stasha SURPRISED Kriss and me at Kriss' house last weekend. Totally had me fooled. And I can't believe I actually got mad when they were trying to get me to come over that day (my rant from recently was because of that. lol) I feel so darnded stoopeed. >.<;;;; Sorry for getting angry!

They made a SHUPA awesome SNNN'ap cake with sparkles and stuff and they made me a collage of pics of our friendness and a card that said "WHat's Up w w w what's up!" from SS501's Kyujong's song. *sigh* LOVE. It was great. My mind was jumbled that day. With happiness and love. I am loved. <3

I shall upload pics of it and edit this post again. They're on my phone, but I gotta size them and junk. So laterz.


Talk to you soon!

be blessed. <3

Sometimes I wish I didn't put myself in such situations that makes me sound irresponsible and possibly self-centered. I make commitments that aren't important to others so I sound stupid when I say I need to attend to it. Yeah, Maria and I are writing a book. Most people think it's a bunch of garbage because we're only highschool graduates and most of all the authors alive graduate college with English literature majors or are geniuses or something who can get away with things like this. Since we want to get the thing done at a certain time this year, we have deadlines. I'm terrible with them to begin with, but somehow, I make it happen. I think it's a good way to keep me from procrastinating, but it isn't helping my time-management skills.

Since I don't want to annoy my friends with constant "I'm writing"s 24/7 (which I already do, I bet), I try to put off actually finishing my deadline until after I've gone out, went wherever with friends, then on the last day, I write write write until late, then I try to get up early enough to finish it on time. Maria always makes hers on time and I'm always struggling. I've always been that way, and I don't want to be known for that.

So I felt pretty stupid and mean when I got mad and blurted it out to Gwyn on the phone tonight. I regretted it after I sent the text, because it's not her or anyone else's fault. I mean, if I WANTED to, I could probably postpone the due day until Monday, but I've done it so many times that I don't want to make it a reputation.

I really hope I'm making sense. What I'm saying is, this whole writing thing is a selfish pleasure to me. I'm motivated by the fact that I've never written so much in my life, and that I know a whole storyline from beginning, middle, and end without any blank pieces, and that I'm kind of disciplining myself to get things done at a certain time.

I know Stasha thinks it's a waste of time. She doesn't take it seriously yada yada, rolls her eyes whenever I mention it, probably because she could never see someone like me doing something like this. And I understand that, but I have a life, and she has one too. She chooses to do things she likes, so why can't I? I still hang out with my friends 70% of the time, so what is it? pfffttt >.<

We're stopping at chapter 11. We're on 10 now. Once that's done, I can hang out whenever nothing else in my life comes up, because I know I'm gonna be going to school soon and I'm gonna miss my friends, of course.

But anyway, I'm gonna go now.

be blessed. <3

peace.
