it's late...

Hi. So, I just got back from a couple of drinks with my good friend Tina. :) heart her. [side note: I ordered a June Bug and she got a Midori something... I drank most of her drink]

Some things on my mind:

-people change. like no matter what, sometimes you just don't end up friends because someone's gotta be a bitch. example: Audrina and LC from The Hills, although Audrina was casted as LC's friend...
-aren't you tired of chasing after things? I am. I'm tired of chasing after people, jobs, homes, happiness.
-why do people remain friends with assholes?
-Twilight/Edward Cullen is awesome
-can I pull off a blonde wig?
-if you touch a butterfly's wings and then touch your eye, do you go blind?
-why is Best Buy the only one authorized to sell the Guns 'N' Roses album Chinese Democracy?

There are more questions, but no answers. I am LE TIRED! and buzzed. and i wish i was high. More details on my weekend back in THE VALLEY! IN THE NEXT POST!


p.s. Tina's not in that picture above. BUT that was taken around this time last year

Quickie Post

I haven't posted in so long, and lots of things have happened since then. But for now, all I'm going to say is that things are starting to fall into place, and I'm really happy, stressed, and excited!

I'm going home this weekend! Yay, but not yay. My parents are going to bitch me out once they get over the whole "I haven't seen you in a while, so I'm going to be nice to you" moment. I think I'm going to the LA County Fair this weekend because it's the last weekend. I'm excited for fried goodies.

Sadly, I still have not seen "Burn After Reading" or "Eagle Eye"...gay.

My Favorite Disney Princess

Hands down, it's Belle from "Beauty & the Beast." She's a brunette, smart, and reads books. I related with her the most. However, I completely love the Prince from "Sleeping Beauty" and I LOVE the song "Once Upon a Dream." It's so romantic *sigh*

I know fairy tales are just that-- fairy tales. But, I don't want to give up on the idea of being whisked away by love and having your dreams come true. I'm still very realistic about life, and how hard it is, but having a little imagination and hope doesn't hurt. Yeah.. I'm a sappy romantic at heart.

"tale as old as time"

HAPPY SEPTEMBER!

Boo to the end of summer days, but cheers to a new season of TV shows, new stylish fall fashions, and fun adventures to be had! Here's to a hopefully good fall for me especially since I won't be returning to UCSD anymore, and that alone is a scary thought. But, I'm dealing. Slowly.

I'm excited to see some of the younger kids who went home for the summer. I'm also anxious to see how APO will fare without me around lol. I'm not like "the shit" but you gotta admit I kind of made APO a little more interesting! Yay for new life experiences (corny)!

I saw myself in the mirror today...

and it wasn't good.

I'm going on Operation Diet today. Especially since I'm poor, I won't be eating at restaurants anymore, so I will be eating the food I actually get from grocery stores. No, I won't be eating fried chicken from Vons, but I will be eating bland turkey sandwiches that I make. I REALLY want to lose 5-10 lbs by the time Halloween hits. O_o I lost 2 lbs last week and that made me feel good. Except I probably gained it back when I got Taco Bell on Sunday.

GOSSIP GIRL PREMIERE!!!!

Ahhh I just finally watched the season 2 premiere of GOSSIP GIRL! *squeeeaaal* It was SO. GOOD. Gah it really played to my girly emotions too. I loved Blake and Leighton's hair and Ed Westwick was sooo incredibly hot. *swoon*

That was such a teeny-bopper entry.

Maturity

In these last 3 days of my life, I've never felt more mature than I do now. Usually when I have problems I tend to runaway or rely on someone to distract me from what's happening to me. But, lately after chatting with 3 really good friends of mine, I learned that what I'm going through is completely normal and common at this stage in my life. I realized that this is life. I've been sooo sheltered from the most complex human emotions that I was never equipped with the strength to deal with them on my own. I only encountered them through others and on TV, so I always thought it would be easy to deal with until I started experiencing it, too.

Things are starting to look up for me as I had hoped they would once a certain puzzle piece fell into place. Now, I have a plan or goal to work towards as I start developing a better appreciation for the situation I've been given. What's scary is how this really is the beginning of my new life as an "adult"... no more safe "school/college" bubble to hide under. I'm definitely not going to let myself get hurt by others because of my own insecurities. Heh, I totally feel like LC from "The Hills" right now... minus the mediocre clothing line.

Labor Day Weekend, Thus Far

On Saturday, I moved in completely into Tiffany Luong's apartment at International Gardens, but I sorta live in her room and living room. Yeah, this is just temporary until I find a real home. Hopefully I can save up enough cash to find a place without having to ask for my parents' money. Later that night, I went to El Torito with Stella and chatted over some drinks. It was so fun to just catch up with her and get slightly plastered. Yeah, I'm pretty amazed at myself for getting home safely not because I was so drunk but that I know my limits and capabilities. I ordered a "Long Beach" and "Desert Pear Margarita" and yeah I was pretty happy at the end of the night!

Sunday was a chill day of just visiting IKEA for Swedish meatballs and just watching movies. I rented "The Prince & Me" "Prince & Me 2: Royal Wedding" and "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion." Dude, I love Prince & Me!! I am a huge sucker for those romantic things..sigh. At night, I crashed Tiffany and Michael's big/lil catchup and got dinner at Sushi Ota in PB. That place is pretty pricey but the sushi is sooo good. Like I think that's the only place where I actually liked their salmon sashimi; other places usually taste fishy. Mmm... their tuna and unagi are awesome. Fatass.

For today, I was kind of planning to go to "Labor Day at the Bay" but I'm not sure if I should get wasted for a whole day. I mean, people give me a weird look when they hear that sometimes I start my day off with a couple of beers. Today might just be a chill/read a book type of day. Hope whoever else reads my blog has a great Labor Day weekend!
