Oh yeah..and Happy Halloweenie before it's too late! Hope you didn't eat too much candy!

I now have a craving for candy corn. dammit!

Today was a shitty traffic day. You'd swear everyone and their momma was on the road at the exact same time as me. And almost all of them don't know how to drive!! Freakin bastids kept me from getting to school on time! gah!!

On the way to G's house from school it took me practically 10 minutes to get from Kaiser Moanalua to the bottom of the hill by the Panasonic building, something that should normally only take a minute w/o traffic and up to 4-5 with normal traffic. At one point I think I was in one spot for at least a full minute before moving another 2 feet. And do you know why? Because stupid ass people who get into a 3 car fender-bender in the middle lane don't have the common sense to MOVE THEIR CARS TO THE FREAKING SIDE OF THE FREEWAY!!!!

Traffic is really bad for me though because after I finally get out of it, my natural instinct is to floor the gas and get as much speed out of my system as humanly possible, even if it means weaving through traffic. ugh.

I'm trying *really* hard not to snack as much as I'd like to. I always get the munchies and I have to do everything just to stop me from getting something from the kitchen. I think so far, one technique I'm mastering is going between the 2 fridges a couple times and each time holding the door open for a bit, staring inside and deciding that there is absolutely nothing worth eating right now. Of course I get irked inside but I just console myself that this is for the best.

You do know of course that there are bags of chips, bags of cookies, 2 pies, some pizza and tons of soda staring right back at me when I'm looking in. *sigh* I hate self-control.

Doesn't this look a bit disturbing to you? I mean, little kitties in buns?
from san-x

Gosh its weird. Now I actually have to think about the time difference. Its only 2 hours diff from cali right? and 5 from NY? I'm so glad I live in Hawaii. This daylight savings crap always gave me a headache. I still don't understand it fully.

good moooooooooooooorning!!!

ugh. i hate trying to wake myself up at 5 am

of to work now. byeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Woop. 3 hours and a couple extensions and cleaning products for my computer later, I'm finally done with the room. I'm all proud.

And UH won against Fresno State while on national television. Can't get any better than that eh?

I'm procrastinating again but not because I want to. I *have* to satiate this need to rearrange my room. *sigh* We'll see if I can finish in a couple hours. *crossing fingers*

Dude, In reference to that invoice I got from that doctor, I just noticed that he charged $240 total just for examining me for less than 2 minutes and for just chatting with me for about 5-7 minutes! Dang. I am definitely going into the wrong line of work.

Not only do i have the urge to rearrange my room, I'm now thinking about "the scary 'r' word" as luckykat put it. It always happens about ever six months or so. Redesign? Am I crazy? As if I didn't have enough crap to keep me constantly playing catchup in life. Oh well, just watch..it'll still happen sometime in the next month. I certainly am crazy yo! [i just had this urge to end a sentence with 'yo!' hahaha]

Hilarious flash page. I love Colin Powell.

I can't believe it. I just got an invoice from that specialist doctor I saw for that little accident I had back in FEBRUARY!!

Now, I can understand that I need to pay the balance of whatever the insurance company didn't cover, but isn't the invoice a little late? I mean really. Okay, so they sent it back in September and the mail forwarding service in Berkeley SUCKS ASS!!! But still. Seven months is a long time to wait until sending it out. What's funny though is that it says my total is only just 30 days old (probably more now). Damn slow ass processing if you ask me.

So what happens when this guy delivers babies? Do they send the bill after the kid's first birthday?

I have this huge urge to rearrange my room again. I hate when this feeling hits me because more often than not I always end up doing it. More wasting of my time. wheee

And yay for not going to OP today. I know, I'm bad. But I can just blame it on my mom. She's the one that had jury duty. Sucks to be her. heh

Uhh yeah. You could say it's been a bad day.

Shit. You'd swear she thought she was God's gift to motherhood or some fucking crazy shit like that. Claiming she sacrifices every damn thing that could possibly make her happy just for me. Then she asks why I don't just move out then. Well I would you fucking loon if you didn't suck all my money away from me!!!

Dammit, I'll just taking the fucking bus if you think I'm not grateful. ERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!
I just finished my paper for Ed Foundations. I think this is the least amount of time I've let come between my finishing time and the beginning of class. 1.5 hours. Not bad eh? hehe

Not my fault this time though. Work and the early wake up is starting to take its toll. Feeling constantly drained and sleep deprived can't be a good thing. *yawn.* Maybe I should be like my weak ass sister who stayed home from school to sleep just because she got home late from work. heh.

Nah, too tempting. I'd never get anything done!!

Oh joy. Time to get ready for class. Ugh. That. is. the. boringest. class. EVER.

Yes, I did end up going to Morning Glory today. Dammit. I didn't buy any Mashimaro stuff though. They only really had Mashimaro stationary pads but I had already picked out a Kogepan one. haha. Then I picked up some Tarepanda stationary, a Kogepan eraser, and a packet of tissue. I love their packet tissue. lol

Too bad the prices at MG are like double the price in Korea. It irks me to see the korean price so clearly listed. I'd much rather live in ignorance sometimes. haha.

Yes, I did buy a whole bunch of useless stuff, but oh well, I'm happy. =P

Mashimaro is so cute!! Not as cute as my tarepanda, of course, but cute none the less. Makes me wanna go to Morning Glory to see if they have anything with him even though I'm so anti morning glory these days. It's so played out!!! But what a cutie. I wonder if they'll have tarepanda stuff too. hmmm. [just what I need...more stuff to blow my money away on ;P]

Tuesdays suck. But Wednesdays suck even harder. Of all my work/school days, I think I like Mondays the best, even though I destest my classes then too.

ARGH!! I don't want it to be Wednesday tomorrow. I hate being in the high school all day! Today was sooo bad since no one wanted to listen, especially in Algebra. ugh. shoot me now.

I have this little problem. Don't laugh at me okay? But I have this problem where I sometimes have trouble knowing whether I match or not. haha Ever since I was in Elementary school I have always had to ask my mom or sis [dad wouldn't know if it slapped him in the face] if I matched. I also had to ask what would match with certain peices of clothing. It's just not innate in my psyche or something. But also sometimes I think I have to be reassured by someone else because I already know it does or doesn't match. But I just hate it when I'm so hoping it matches [even though I may know better] and then my mom says it doesn't match. Sometimes I'll even not listen to her just because I'm stubborn like than and then I'll end up being paranoid the entire day that I'm not matching. haha

So now I'm wearing this light greyish-blue skirt and white top and wanted to know what kind of shoes would match. Considering I only really have black, her answer didn't really make me happy but yet I don't know what else I can do. My other clothes are in the wash and if they're not done within the hour I'll have no choice but to wear this. aish. I'm such a babo.

Have been feenin for some alterna-rock lately. Maybe I've become too saturated with the hip hop and R&B. bleh. So I've been tuning more to 101.9 and 97.5. Sometimes I'll hit up 96.3 but only if I don't mind that easy listening/ballad shtuff. heh.

So recently [as in less than 24 hours ago] I discovered Linkin Park. Well, technically I had heard of them before but this was my first time hearing their sound and actually paying attention to their video ["In the End"]. My thoughts? It was hella tight yo. I think they even have an Asian guy [Min, does that interest you? haha]. Anyway, I really like the singer and emcee/vocalist duo in their set up. It sorta makes for some lame parts in a video when one guy is doing his thing and the other guy is just chillin in the back but its the sound that matters right?

And today I also heard some Bush after like 4 years. Gosh I miss hearing Jhoel raving about Gavin. hahaaha. So yes, much downloading tonight. In addition, got some Nickelback - How You Remind Me, and Timbaland and Magoo - One and All (???). Usher - U Got It Bad, Genuwine - Differences, and Busta Rhymes - Break Your Neck are cool too. Hey, I didn't say I STOPPED listening to hip hop and shit. hehe

I always wonder why I bother reading some journals even though I know the person or their writing irritates me to no end. It must be some kind of sick pleasure of mine.

And you know you're thinking the same thing of me and my journal huh. heh

It's quite funny. Ironic really. After being such a [almost diehard] fan of H.O.T. [think top boy band in Korea like 2 years ago; now defunct] for years and not really wanting to admit that Sechskies [rival boy band for a while] was cool too, I can honestly say that the latter is probably my favorite Kpop group of all time right now..and probably forever. I sing a bunch of their slower songs at noraebang and one of my most favorite songs of all kpop is Moomohan Sarang from their 3rd album. Hilarious I tell you.

[but I'm still a fan of WooHyuk dangit! and don't you forget it! lol]

Of course, you probably won't really understand if you've never been into kpop.

Yes, this is what I do on Sunday nights when I'm procrastinating yet again. Oh, and if you notice multiple visits to your own pages, sorry, I'm trying to find things to distract myself. Kinda frustrating when people don't update around my schedule. hahaha jk. [i need coffee...or maybe a slurpee. mmmmm]

Here's my theory. People either love or hate signing guestbooks. Or maybe it's just me. I think I fall into the latter category and yet I still do at times and I even have one of my freakin own. I can't explain it. All I can say is that if I'm really bored or if I'm feeling extremely productive and in want of sharing my babble with others, then yes, I'll oblige. Or if they ask nicely. ["please won't you humor me?"] =) But really, I just find it funny for some strange reason. I just can't bring myself to do it even when I know I probably should. Same goes for email...

Okay, so maybe it's just my insanity. Nevermind.

Work drives me a little loony sometimes. I can say this and it's only my 3rd day of actually working. Great isn't it?

So I have to balance all this money and every single time so far I've managed to balance perfectly. Only thing is that before this wonderful feat happens I always manage to have some kind of screw up or another. Today, when my boss/trainer had to leave for like 2 hours to work at another store I managed to totally screw up my counts in my petty cash and my drawer. Never leave me alone again!! At least not in the next 2 weeks anyway. After trying to balance the petty cash like 5 different times I finally managed to get it to the total I was supposed to have. It's really quite amazing how I managed to count almost the exact same money and came out with 5 entirely different amounts! I started to think that the money would disappear if I put it into the safe! How utterly ridiculous. But hey, that's whay 'loony' means right? haha.

I'm a loon. Blame it on the 5 am wake up.

try bloggerbot its so cool! Blog thru IM!

Before I go to sleep...and it's not even 10 yet!!...things I've learned in the last 2 days:

- Love is a wonderful thing.

- Never just eat a pancake and grapes and expect that to hold you over for the entire day.

- Never get mad at your SO just because you think he/she stood you up and you've been waiting for their call for the last 3 hours. Maybe you forgot that he/she had to tutor. [oops]

- Staying in most of the afternoon reading magazines and watching tv will most likely give you a headache.

- My driving has become uber shitty [ie, heavy on the accelerator and not turning smoothly] so I'm being reformed into driving much less "recklessly"

- Sketcher's dressier shoes have rubber soles, but that rubber isn't really the kind that will prevent you from slipping on a wet/oily floor.

- Business at Waikele must suck now without much tourists. It sure was dead on a Thursday night.

- Red Lobster is good up until the salad and the appetiser. When you get your shrimp or crab, then it just becomes down right shitty.

- I feel naked without my watch.

- The people at the dry cleaning place next to Circuit City seemed just a tad bit rude.

- Although Gap had some great sale items, all I found were bottoms and despite my want, my need lies with tops. *sigh*

- I don't like the Forever 21 clothes as much these days. Pity.

- Poor Grant's bro got his wisdom teeth pulled and now can't eat very solid foods.

- The theaters at Pearl Highlands suck now. The theaters are too small, the seats are also too squishy, and they don't have the movable hand rests! This is what happens when you're spoiled and go to the Dole ones all the time.

- Serendipity is a great, entertaining, light hearted romantic movie.

- Right now I love Grant so much more than I did 5 minutes ago. More than 1 hour ago. And more than 1 day ago. It just keeps on growing.

YAY! I'm practically done with the paper and its almost time to go! Does this mean that is a good paper? Of course not. I've never been a good writer. Why should a cram fest be any different. hehehe.

Oh, and I'm very proud to say that on my second day of work I managed to balance everything perfectly for the second day in a row. Of course, there were a few problems before balancing, but that's not the point. Yes, I'm very proud. *beam* haha so cheezy.

Going to dinner at G's gram's and gramp's house for dinner. [YAY! I love them! They're so cute!]

So that leaves me with 1.5 hours to bs my way through this paper. #$@%! It never takes me less than at 2 hours to write something at least 2 pages long and full of meaningful, coherent content. Yeah, procrastination is my WORST habit.

Ok...philling is putting up a stink cuz I'm misrepresenting his opinions so here's his exact words:

Philling: hey man. i don't like iron monkey better just for the fighting
me: haha sure
me: you said it~
Philling: well that's not the main reason. i like the fighting better than the fighting in cthd
me: hahahah
me: so does this mean i have to rewrite what i said?
Philling: nah
Philling: you can just add somethign in your next entry
Philling: hehehe
me: lol
Philling: i can go over specifically what i didn't like in cthd ;P
me: ok. list it and i'll post it up
Philling: 1) dialogue in cthd seems... pretty strange (almost bad). this is probably a translation problem because the screen play was first written in english then translated to chinese
me: is that it?
Philling: 2) the story line also seemed ... how to put it mildly.. white-washed chinese storyline... kind of like what a non-chinese person thinks of chinese culture
Philling: specifically was the theme of undying honour and restricted love between chow yun fat and michelle yeoh
Philling: 3) the spoken mandarin was pretty bad... for once i woudl have prefered the actors to speak in their original dialect (meaning chow yun fat and michelle yeah) or actually have dubbers for them
Philling: 4) acting wise chow yun fat did ok.. but i thought this was one of michelle yeoh's lesser performances... i've never seen her so stoic and monotone (perhaps it's the mandarin)
Philling: notice how i didn't mention even the action yet ;P
me: hey phil...you think you could hurry up a little? i'm need to sleep real soon. [wake up in 6 hours]
Philling: i'll give you the rest later heheh
Philling: you can say... it's a continuing list
me: haha okay.
Philling: ok last part for today
Philling: 5) CTHD seems to struggle between two genres: action and drama. as an action film it suffers when you acknowledge what has been done before it and in other films... as a drama, it seems ok but still doesn't tally up much memorable scenes in my mind...

Dude, talk about overkill. And it's not even done yet. Dork huh. haha. Hi Phil!! lol

I'm wondering if Iron Monkey will be do well when it comes out here in the US. Philling bhurd sent me a bootleg copy [thanks phil!] and at first I thought it sucked. But that was only because the fricken subtitles went way too fast to enjoy it. When I finally got around to watching it [during an intese session of procrastination] I thought it was pretty enjoyable. It's mostly fighting and the story is kinda lame but it was still entertaining. Quite different from Crouching Tiger. No, I'm not saying CTHD was not enjoyable [i think only phil thought so] but this had way more fighting. Hence, phil loves this more than CTHD. Therefore causing me to wonder if American audiences will feel the same way.

And I wonder if they'll slow down the damn subtitles. aish.

...dude! This movie was made in 1993! and the little boy is actually a girl! I didn't know! hahaha

Going to your first day of work on only four hours of sleep is never a good thing. But hey, at least I balanced everything on my first day. woohoo.

Okay. Paper time. bleh.

Dangit. Did something stupid even though it seemed so right at the time. So tomorrow I'm gonna have to fix it after I have my orientation. Wheeee. This is *so* not gonna be fun.

On IM tonight, playfully arguing about money and stuff:

...
G: still comes out the same in the end
me: i guess
G: that's right
G: i know
me: yeah whatever. you THINK you know
G: no, i KNOW i know
G: haha
me: i KNOW you THINK you know but you really DON"T know
me: =P
me: hahah
G: okay, so i don't know sometimes,but I do KNOW i love you
G: haha
G: take that
me: aww. i LOVE you too
G: ha, see i know what i'm talking about

He's such a dork, but gosh he's so cute when he is!
cheezy!
^____^

Happy Chusok!
[dunno what they say in korean. hehe]
Yeah, I know I'm just a tad late.

Now I have this craving for yakgwa and songpyun. argh!

Wish I was from a "Korean" Korean family. Oh the torture of being 4th generation and so far removed from all those festive holidays! ;P
