So did anyone else watch Alias yesterday?
My god!! It was like the mother of all episodes! sd-6 & the alliance destroyed, syd & vaughn kiss !!!, Sloane and Sark plotting even worse than imagined, and Francie getting killed and replaced by a clone! O.o It was almost too much to handle in one episode! haha. I guess they really wanted to outdo the super bowl commercials eh? And I suppose this does dramatically simplify the show. I'm all excited to see what happens next.
Ooh, and Piper gives birth in February too! How am I supposed to juggle all the new episodes for Alias AND Charmed at the same time?!
Dammit. I'm not going to get anything done next month. *sigh*

I have baby brine!!
i had to get brine from another place 2 weeks ago since pet's discount didn't have any and these were whiter than what i'm used to, but whatever. Super puff didn't seem to eat as much of them, but that could've been due to all the stress inflicted after the stupid ass fish incident. Almost all of the brine were dead/used up when all of a sudden i noticed little things floating around...and they're babies!! I've never seen babies before. Maybe the whiter brine reproduce faster? or maybe its the solution they're in that's different. This one didn't get as dirty as the one i get normally. Hmmm...
but still, they're too small to feed so i had to get more...the red ones. but i'm keeping the babies on the side to see what happens. Nature is so cool sometimes.

So the Stupid Ass Fish died today. I think it was all traumatized from the tank cleaning the other day when I took them out then basically cleaned up any and all algae. Serves it right for going into the filter. Tho I will miss it. But dang, my lone puffer is invincible! He's survived since October. Remember when I started out with 5 of them? Then 4 died. Then I got an Otocinclus (sp? algae eater) and it died (probably because it didn't eat brown algae), then I got this bushy nose pleco and now it died. Perhaps I should name my puffer Super Puff since it survived all of that. Hmm yeah, i think i like that. The invincible Super Puff! =P

I haven't made any resolutions so far, but I think I will in regards to my teaching goals for second semester, since first sem is ending this week (finals tomorrow and wednesday!).
- Call parents prompty and often, especially when things start rather than when things have been going and going...
- keep my desk neater throughout the day, not just when I go home
and that's it for now. I'm not going to say "plan ahead more" because that's just setting myself up for failure. Success is the desired outcome here people! =)

"Stupid ass fish," as the algae eater will be known henceforth...*was* hiding under the gravel in the filter. Stupid ass fish forced me to take out all the plants, my puffer and right as I was scooping out some water the stupid ass fish decided it was finished playing hide and seek. At least it gave me an excuse to clean my tank from top to bottom, but still... Its a Stupid Ass Fish!!!
fuck. i just lost my post. ARgH!!!
anyway....
i feel like i'm losing my mind because i can't find my algae eater and there's no sign of him anywhere in my ONE gallon tank. Its not like you can't find anything in a ONE gallon tank right? Seriously tho...the pleco is no where to be found!
I know it was there when I cleaned the tank last night. It was there when I fed it an algae wafer. It was even there when I picked up the remnants of said wafer with my chopsticks. Then I went to sleep. At around 3 am i heard this weird noise and found that the air tube was coming out of the tank so, in the darkness, I pushed it back in. I woke up this morning to find that I had stuck the tube into the middle of the tank instead of the bigger filter tube so i just put it back. I fed the puffer and then looked for the pleco. Nothing! I thought it was just too dark and early for me to see him so I figured i'd just wait until after school. But still nothing! There's not even a sign that he fell onto my desk or the surrounding area! He definitely couldn't have come out of the hole in the cover for the air tube because its too small, maybe he came out of the only other hole, which is quarter-sized. OR! Maybe someone came during the night and took it and that's why the tube was coming out. Why tho? Who the hell knows...maybe my mom IS going crazy!
This is really bothering me though. I have no clue where it went!! Absolutely none!! aiyah.
update: after talking to grant about it, he theorizes that it swam into the filter tube when the air tube was floating in the middle of the tank, which means that its underneath the plastic under all my gravel and its been there all day! ack. it probably has a lot of algae under there though right? It better swim out soon because I don't want to pull out everything from my tank dammit. stupid fish! argh!

Let the festivities begin!
100 Years since the first Koreans immigrated to America. Of course, I thought this applied to my family too, but i just discovered my great-grandfather came on 7/8/1904. So we've only been here 99 years. ;P
Historian Roberta Chang loves the story of her father, Keum Whang (its supposed to be Whan!) Chang, who approached a picture bride in Koloa, Kaua'i. She was spoken for, Chang said, but he asked if she had a sister back home.
"In the villages, it was traditional that the older girl got married first," she said. "But my auntie liked my father so much and she wanted him to marry her sister, instead of her older cousin."
Chang's father bought passage to Korea to fetch his bride, but the older sister knew if he went to the village, the cousin would have priority. So she rushed her sister to Kaua'i before he could leave.
Yep, that's my great-grandfather. =)
Now we get to the fun stuff, the activities! Parade today, concert tuesday (i heard shinhwa, park jin-young, and lee jung hyun are coming! but all the tickets have been given out. boo), and the big festival is this Saturday! You know where I'll be! (i thought you were gonna make a trip out to hawaii for this one scott! hehe)

This guy states every single opinion I have about this "war" with iraq.
...all except one: Bush and Rumsfeld are going to screw our country, and it will last a very long time. Its times like these that I actually wish I was Canadian.
Gosh I love the Chronicle. If only we had a newspaper as good.

Its sooo hard to have close friends or family tell me their problems and come to me for support. It's not that I feel inconvenienced or anything like that. On the contrary, I'd give my whole being to them if it would help, but its just so hard when I don't know what to say or do. I can say that things will be okay, that I'm there for them if they need it, that if they need anything just to ask. But it just never feels like its enough. I always feel as though I'm letting them down and that I'm the worst person in the world to help them.
I wish I could take their problems on as my own so they won't have to bear the heavy burden, if only for a bit. =(

I want a bookcase. I think its the one peice of furniture that I want before all others in my quest for my own apartment.
That, and a new chest of drawers (mine are much too heavy), a dining table with a couple of chairs, and a small folding table (can serve as a temp coffeetable). Nope, sofa is not on my most needed list. y'all can sit on the floor. ;P

whee! i just wasted 5 hours of my time trying to figure out how to password protect a directory and also creating my new family & friends (but mainly friends) page. I need to go around thanking people for their fantabulous sites after I'm done. If it weren't for them I would have nothing to learn from! It definitely is interesting trying to figure out what all the different codes do. It's been so long since I actually handcoded things from scratch. yuck. And dreamweaver isn't always so simple...but i'm learning. Anyway, i'm tired and i'm stupid for staying up till 2. You think I can wake up by 10? ha! we'll see...

It sucks to be sad.
It sucks even more to be sick.
Grant is super sick (fever and yuckiness) and i have the beginnings of a sore throat. yuck. (my parents made us sick!!) This being my last day/night of my vacation I had high hopes for the day, but it all came crashing down at around 2pm. I didn't leave the house all day until 6:45p to go to the post office and then to Zippy's for a dinner of soup and sandwiches. Then g went home. I'm all sad now...very sad indeed. So sad that I miss him again. Isn't that stupid?
Now I'm debating whether or not I should go workout. Grant thinks he was more suseptible to the sickness because he worked out this morning because he started feeling worse afterward. So I'm wary. I need all the strength I got to cram all my last minute planning for the next 2 weeks into 1 day tomorrow. Dammit! I hate school! I want an extra week of break like all the other schools. errr. *irritated*
I found a list of stress symptoms and i exhibit at least half. Or maybe I'm just pmsing. This sucks!
I haven't really been writing much lately. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I've been trying to make the most out of my break, but i'm still far behind in the school work category. *shrug* I was supposed to go to the gym this morning but I just couldn't get my ass out of bed at 9 am, even with the alarm. Blame it on me playing Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets on my Gameboy color (its so sad how they don't make games for it much anymore. boo). I was up until 3 am! aiyah.
This whole break I've pretty much seen grant every single day...except for sundays. Before the break I always used to have this sad feeling inside that I missed him...like all the time! But now that my break's almost over, I don't have that feeling anymore. I'm glad. I love grant, but I don't like feeling sad about it.
Oh, and one other thing that was going good until recently...I was actually kinda getting along with G's sister. She would tell me what was up with the guy she's been seeing (the one with 3 kids) and all that drama. (she seems to create it herself, i think) and we would actually have full, cordial conversations while doing these 1000 peice puzzles. It was kinda nice. Then on Thursday G invited me over for dinner (once again) since another family close to theirs was coming over...it was just left overs but still sooo good. While we were making boba for everyone (it was yummy! except for the strawberry. bleh) his sister started telling the other family how every time I come over she has to tell me that my bra straps are showing. WTH! So i said...it happened uhhh only twice? and she's just making a big deal about it cuz you know how m0rm0ns have undergarments and everything and you don't want them to show...blah blah...i was irked, and so was he, so we didn't play any games and just watched the usc/iowa game. I ended up seeing that game twice! (yay usc) sheesh. But now i'm just annoyed. why do people have to be like that? Then she all calls G last night to pick her up from that guy's house in Mililani because he picked her up, went to the beach, and then went to his house. Her parents refused to pick her up since they don't like the guy and we were all the way in Waikiki. shit. Talk about annoying. If you get yourself into situations, you better be prepared to get yourself out.
Okay, now i'm annoyed. I need to get out. I hope grant finishes working out soon...though i should feel bad since i didn't and now i feel even fatter than i did last night. This holiday season has not been kind to me in the weight gain dept. heehee ;P
