It's About Time

It's about time I grow up.

Up, Up & Away

I know what this song is about, but whatever :P

I'm at work again (as always). I got put on the 1st floor to clean that whole section up this summer. I guess my boss thought it was going to be a challenge but I finished the whole floor in two days.. Now I've got nothing to do.

My summer has been pretty good so far. I mean I haven't done anything to challenge myself academically, but I've been doing a lot of planning for the next two years of college. I think I've got a solid plan to get where I want to get. Let's see if I can do it :)

So far this summer, I've spent most of it with Jon, but I've been with some friends and my family. It's been fun. Baseball games, birthday parties, and working out (getting that beach bod this summer :P). This weekend I'm going camping and I'm super excited about that since I haven't been for the longest time. This is the first time without my family though so it should be interesting.

Speaking of my family, my mom is STILL in Texas. It's cool because my dad isn't all that strict and she's not here to constantly nag me about getting home early, but I still miss her. She calls every week or so and it's fun talking to her. I kind of also need her financially :P Usually she pays for my contacts and doctor visits, but I'm pretty much on my own this year. My dad would probably give me the money, but he usually says to me, 'if you've got the money to do it yourself then use it.' I mean if I really needed it he'd give it to me, but I'd rather try to do it myself. I've been working a lot to be able to pay rent at Park West and try to get all my health necessities taken care of. It's hard and boring work, but it has to be done. I think I'm going to get a credit card D:

That's my midsummer update. We'll see if I feel motivated to update some more.

Til next time!

Got Your Back

There's so many things I want to say, but.. I don't want to be a bitch right now. Finals are coming up and I'd much rather wait until after that so I'll just stick with the stuff that won't cause too many problems.

I've been evaluating all the stuff I've been doing academically in college and sadly, I've fallen behind. I really have to get out there next year and stop being such a hermit. I'm just so comfortable where I am, but I guess for the sake of my future I have to do something about it. I keep telling my little brother to take advantage of all the stuff college has to offer and I'm probably annoying the shit out of him, but I don't want him to end up feeling empty about his academic life at the end of his second year like I do.

Summer has always been a good reflective time so I won't think about it right now.. since I really should be thinking about ochem and bio :(

Anyways, I miss my best friends. I've seen so many different kinds of people and I'm happy to say that I like my best friends much better than the others I've met. I'm sorry if I ever thought otherwise because, Ana and Stacy, I know we're each our own kind of bitch, but we never hide it from each other and that's probably why we've been friends for so long. I can't wait for summer so we can hang out again.

Lastly, here's a song.. Jon has gotten to me, but what can I say? Love makes you do crazy things.. like listen to T.I. :P




Goodnight!

Terrified

Zachery Levi is sexy :)

Vague

There are things my sister and I disagree on.

But I think she has it right when she says that people shouldn't be vague when they're trying to say something. Why? Because its two-faced.. and being two faced is lying.. and lying is a sin :P

I admire my sister because she never gives a shit about what other people say or whether or not they like her because of her opinions. She never writes those mysterious blogs about a certain person or what not. She address everyone by name and doesn't play the guessing game.

That's probably why Ana, Stacy, and I have a stable friendship now and why Ana and Stacy has the better bond between the three of us. When they're mad at each other.. they know and there is no sugar coating anything. Sometimes being honest means being rude.. and that's just the way it is.

Anyways, I'm guilty of doing all that stuff, but I'm going to try this new way of communicating from now on. I mean.. I think it's better to say something straight out rather than hide behind vague terms. Might as well say nothing at all really.

American Honey

Whoo.
Finished with my Stats midterm. Next up is my chemistry midterm then my bio midterm.

These things just never stop.

I've got so many things I want to do this summer.. none of which involves school or work. I want to go camping, hiking, to the beach, some road trip up north.. I just want to be active this summer. Last summer I just sat in the library for 6 hours every weekday and wasted away. It was fun being in Irvine and getting to see my friends, but I just want to do buttloads of things this summer. Soak up the sun and all that other cliche stuff people say during summer. We're only young once and eventually we're not going to be able to go anywhere or do anything until we're old.. then we're too tired to leave the house. Bummer.

Ay.. I finished my Stats midterm too early.. now I'm stuck sitting at the CAFE EXPRESSO for another half hour. It's nice outside today though. I think maybe I'll go to the movies or something tonight (and by I.. I mean Jon and I :P).

We're inseparable, I know.

I just downloaded a bunch of songs and I'm really jealous of all the high schoolers who get to go to prom this year.. They have such good music to dance to. What. the. Ghetto.

It's only been two years. Shit.

So What Was I Saying?

Didn't do so well on my quiz, but that's what happens when I study for like five minutes total :P

I haven't been blogging much cause I haven't had much to say, but I guess I can update about whats been going on as filler.

For one, my mom's been in Texas for like TWO months. That's the longest my mama has ever been away from us. That woman is amazing though.. Even when shes miles away she still manages to tell me to go home before it gets too late. I think my dad is lonely and bored though. He's cooked spaghetti about once a week so far and he apparently loves frozen pizza. He tries and I love him for it, but Papa Smurf just doesn't quite hold the fort like mom does. She's coming home on Sunday so I'm looking forward to that :)

I haven't really done much lately other than schoolwork.
Hm.. Jon and I have been a little bit more adventurous and spontaneous. He thinks I might think he's boring or something, which I definitely don't, but dates are still fun nonetheless. We gave blood yesterday just because the UCI bloodmobile was on campus (it was a unique date :P). Then we had a steak dinner because the post-instructions for giving blood said to have a "hearty meal" and hearty it was... mmm... bloody cow meat.. I love it :P
Today we went bowling and then to Guppies. I'm a lucky girl :)

I've been trying to cook more.. I'm going through this blogger's recipe list and so far it's been good. After looking at how much I spend eating out, I figured it'd be a nice change to try and cook something for myself. I don't care if I'm fattening up myself or my boyfriend.. food is delicious and I love it too much! We'll hit the gym.

Oh and Hazel, sorry for using your meatballs. I'll be sure to let you know next time I do something like that (which I'll try not to do again).
And with that, sorry Katie for taking your toolbox yesterday and not telling you.

I'm bad with that kind of stuff. Bad traits and character development stuff I need to work on D:

I've been Stumbling! a lot lately and it makes me want to go traveling sometime in my life. Maybe I'll go to school outside of the U.S. or something.. that would be pretty exciting. Who knows right now though.. too much stuff going on. I'll take it slow for now.

My head is spinning with so many ideas right now. I should sleep on it..

GOODNIGHT :)
(I guess I did have much to say :P)

Girlfriend..

Or boyfriend in my case.

This song is stuck in my head :)

Speaking of songs.. do you ever listen to a song and it reminds you of some feeling. I've been listening to songs I listened to all the time in the summer. Takes me back to a nice time when butterflies would tickle my tummy all day.

Not that they've stopped or anything.. They're just different butterflies now.

I'll blog more later.. I'm "studying" for my quiz :)

Hmm..

Sometimes I think that people who blatantly claim that they are nice people aren't very nice at all.

I think it's just screaming, "Hey look at me! I love myself so much I want to tell the world how great I am!"

What the fuck.

You wouldn't have to claim it yourself if other people thought that about you too.. why?
Because people would be telling you all the time and you wouldn't feel the need to have to convince yourself.

UGH.

Only You Can Love Me This Way

Oh to blog again.

It’s been so long since I’ve actually felt like blogging, but today is a blogging day :)

Spring break is here and I’m so relieved that winter quarter is over.  It was extremely hard to play catch up when I let everything fall behind so fast.  I never learn.  It’s a bad habit.  Hopefully (as I say every quarter..) spring quarter will be better.

I kicked off spring break by going to PV and attempting to go to the beach with Jon.  Unfortunately, it was too damn cold to even get in the water.  Where the sun was.. I have no idea.  So Jon and I switched gears and I put on my best learning hat and tried to long board.  I won’t be long boarding around campus anytime soon, but I still had fun :)
Yesterday, I went to the LA Zoo with Jon.  God, I love being with that boy.  We walked for hours around the whole zoo and there was never a boring moment.  The animals were awesome.. and at times smelly, but it was still really cool.
We hung out at Jon’s house afterwards.  I love his house.  It’s so cozy.  There’s just something that I really like about it.  If I didn’t have to go home, I probably would have stayed there all night :P

Sigh.

That Jon.  I just can’t get him off my mind.

Anyways, my mom is in Texas and I can’t wait for her to get back.  I miss her a lot.  My dad’s awesome, but sometimes you just need mom around :)

Since I have some extra time, I’m going to read for fun!  A rare occasion I should take advantage of !

Have a wonderful evening! :)

Hey Soul Sister

Oh man.
I haven't cared this much about my grades for a long time.

I guess it's about time I actually took an active interest in them. I always say I hate studying, but I think it's starting to grow on me.. How incredibly nerdy right?

I just want to see those A's again and I can't get them by messing around anymore.


About time I grew up...

Well... Maybe after this weekend :P

It's time to party!

Secrets

It's a damn beautiful and windy day outside.
I'm stuck inside figuring out structures of chemicals. WHY?

It's been a tiring weekend.
I got up at 4am yesterday for a WDMA event. It rained. It was cold. So tiring, but fun.. except for the part where my phone officially died on me :(

Also got Thai food with Jon last night. The food was delicious.
And Jon was looking good :P

The lady laughed when I asked for the Lovers Honeymoon (it was like a dish with shrimp and pineapple stuff). How dare she!? D:

Now.. I'M HUNGRY!

Today Was A Fairytale

Life is beautiful! :)

(For those of you who don't know... I got into an accident on the freeway.)
I'm just happy that I'm alive and that I still get to live my life.

I mean, it's sad, but it takes something like a near death experience to get me to realize that should appreciate things in my life. Although, I'm probably just going to go back to my usual habits in about a week..

Hey. I never said I was perfect and habits die hard.

Seriously though, I really am happy that I get to be with the people I love and care about. When I lost control on the freeway, I couldn't help but think this can't be it. There's still so much to do in life. I'm a lucky girl in more ways than one. I've got people who care about me and people I care about very much. I think that's all you really need.

On another note, I had a great Valentine's Day. Thanks cheerleader :)

Back to studying!

Valentine

Happy Early Valentine's Day! :)

Normally I wouldn't promote such a commercialized "holiday" (well.. let's face it.. what holiday ISN'T?), but I thought I'd spread a little love this year. This isn't a day just for couples.. it's a day of love for everyone (Yeah.. I just said that :P).

So to all of you who are reading and to those in my life, I hope this Valentine's Day you find love. And for those of you who don't believe that you'll find love.. look harder. There's love waiting for you in some shape or form. You'll find it in your family, friends, lovers, pets, your favorite song, that delicious cup of coffee that makes your day every morning, and yourself. Don't ever doubt that.

To quote one of my favorite movies.. Love actually is all around :)

Gravity

Sometimes moments don’t exactly happen the way you always imagined it would..
But that doesn’t make it any less special.

When it comes down to it, it’s not about what’s going on around you. It’s about who you’re with. When you’re with the right person, any moment of any magnitude is special. No grand gestures necessary.

When you stop thinking about the little details, it turns out better than you could ever imagine. No regrets. Just a beautiful moment.

New Years.

Happy New Year Everyone!

2009 was a year to remember.  There was so much to learn and so many things (good and bad) I never want to forget.  Thank you to good friends & family, memories, and life lessons that made their way to me this past year. 

2010 is here.
I’m scared of what I’m feeling right now, but I can’t pull myself away.
Bring it :)
