Finished reading the latest Bleach chapter again today. Wow Aizen is sooo cool XD

Halfway through my pharmacology class right now. There are so many drugs to remember, and so many things that can go wrong during the administration that I really don't know if I can pull it all off later on. It's terrifying. One wrong move, and the patient dies. Right now, I can only tell myself to think things through instead of my usual blindly rushing through things and hope that it comes out right. Hopefully, if I can get in the habit of doing it now, I can prevent more careless mistakes in the future.

Chemistry is a joke. We just went over VSEPR today. Every time I step in there, I kick myself for slacking off my freshman year. Now I'm paying for it. T___T

Badminton is so awesome! I was so sore the first week, but it felt so good during the second week. I saw Jamin and Edward last Tuesday and they were amazing!!!!! Hopefully, I can keep improving so I can play with them someday. In the second week, I found out Peggy was in my class!!! Haven't seen her since high school when we were in the team together so that was a really nice surprise!

Went out to get Korean food with Melissa and Nancy last week. I was finally able to meet up with Nancy cos she was holed up in her house studying for her pharm boards. Haven't asked her about her restults yet, but I'm sure she did really well! I'm so proud of her and all her accomplishments. Hopefully I can accomplish just half of what she's done.

Quyen got me hooked onto L2. I'd be on the computer all day playing it, but for some reason, it kicks me out from time to time saying that my processor isn't fast enough. Doesn't make sense cos I do have the minimum requirements. The graphics are gorgeous <3

I wanna cosplay as my character in RC for ycon =D

Fanime. Oh Fanime. It was a magical magical weekend and it ended much too soon. It was definitely more photo productive than last year. I took a lot more pictures of cosplayers among other things XD   I think I spent way too much time stalking my seiyuu from PoT last year so I didn't get to explore as much. Didn't buy as much this year either, but I made that up in photos. I spent most of my money in Artist Gallery I think. It's nice to support them =D I got a new camera just for Fanime! I'd take a picture of it, but that's kinda impossible without a mirror. Which requires work finding one. And I'm lazy. =(

Getting there was a pain in the butt. Traffic was so bad near San Jose, but we didn't get lost thanks to Yahoo maps. We had nine girls in the room the first night cos Natasha, Jasmine and Maddie needed a place to stay the first night. It was crowded but it brought the cost down for that night. Jasmine made me this awesome Pillar Pair bag 8D. I'm so bringing it to Ycon. Got two PoT plushies again at Swap Meet. I only wanted the Tezuka cos he was sooo cute. But then they had Fuji in pajamas. Who can resist Fuji in pjs? With a teddy bear. Exactly.

Saturday was all sorts of awesome. Yaoi bingo was that night. And we broke our brains in the Yaoi and Hentai rooms. I don't think I'm going into the hentai room next year. I need my brain cells.

Sunday was Musicfest. The first part of it was pretty good. Rusika was awesome XD I want Lela's radar of bishies XD It's all kinds of amazing. We also went to the Self Defense Class for Women panel. I took a class before in Davis, so it was more review than anything else for me which is always nice. They showed us how to break arms, grab certain vulnerable parts (grab, go up and pull out XD), which was pretty awesome. The realization is that most of the girls in that room is not going to be able to break free or do most of the moves that they taught, just because they're not strong enough. Or when that the actual thing happens, the shock factor will kick in and the self defense move isn't going to be the first thing that pops into mind. Most of them are going to forget the moves cos they won't practice it. Nevertheless, I'm still really really happy they had this panel, because it gives women the realization that there are options if this ever happens to them. The coaches were all really nice and they let us hit them XD 

All in all, the whole weekend seemed to have happened in a blur. Selected pictures are on FB ^.~  We got so much done but it all happened so fast. *sigh* Definitely looking forward to next year!

Spent Tuesday night hanging out with Mari and Mel. Mari made me dinner and it was awesome. They named the dish after me XDD. Mel had to leave early for Taekwondo so Mari and I went to watch Night at the Museum. Found out that's where "Boom. Boom. Fire Power!" is from. XD

On Wednesday night, I went to Burger's and Brew with old Japanese classmates which was really really nice. I'm so happy to have been able to see them again before I leave.

So now, I'm in the process of moving back home. I took back a lot of my stuff today and it was kinda depressing. I do not wanna come back. T_T

I'M DONE WITH MY EXAMS!!!!!!!!

Truth to be told, the introductory sociology and the lifespan development classes were classes that I dreaded from the beginning. Now, I'm really glad I had to take them because it allowed me to analyze my own views on certain topics. Things I thought were not prejudice, insulting or belittling were actually just that, and I'm glad these classes allowed me to finally realize it. Better late than never. I've probably offended so many people in the past because of my ignorance.  I've been told that introductory sociology is like a common sense class. If that's true, then based on my two years of customer service experience, it's a good idea for everyone to take it. After the lifespan development class, I really want to start making a scrapbook on the people I've met and had relationships with in the past. As we all know, we can't keep in touch with all of the people we've made contact with for the rest of our lives. But later on in life, after a tough day at work, or stressed out from family, or when we get old and alone, it would be nice just to pull out the scrapbook and take a trip back to memory lane.

In the beginning, they were just two classes I had to take to get closer to my goal of applying to nursing school, but now I'm really grateful that I took them.

I think I passed both my classes with A's. =D

Taking badminton this summer at Laney!!!! I really want to take the one at Alameda too, but my chem lab ends 15 minutes before the badminton class at Alameda starts, and I don't like being late. Maybe I can talk her into it....

Good luck to those at UCB taking finals!!! You guys are almost done!! 加油!!

omg lol i just found this on my Friend's page.

LoL wow, it's been awhile since I've last post anything, but that can't be helped cos my internet's been sucking. It's gotten a lot better now though.

Random things that have been going on in the past two months in no particular order...

Internet problems have been going on for about two months. We're supposed to get reimbursed for it, but who the hell knows. Their check will probably never make it here. I also got hooked onto Bejeweled on Facebook when my internet does behave when I should be checking my email for important stuff instead. It's so dangerous.

My baby sister's off in Canada to "study abroad". She's not coming back till July.

My last day at Curve's is going to be on the 22nd. Thank goodness. My boss is a nice person, but she's so freaking anal about everything and her micromanaging is starting to get on my nerves.

I tried registering for Y-con cos MINASE MASARA SENSEI IS GOING TO BE THERE, but alas, they haven't replied to my email yet, so I think I'll have to do it at Fanime (which is a short two weeks away =D)

Need to make up Mother's Day for my mum cos I was working all day and wasn't able to spend any time with her. My brother has no common sense and decided to hole himself in his room all day that day instead. Stupid child.

Going to take classes at Laney and Alameda college this year. After this summer, I should be almost done with my prerequisite courses and maybe start applying for nursing school in the spring. Hopefully, anyway. I want to take badminton but I have to get from Laney to Alameda in 15 minutes. Anyone know if she minds late people coming into her class? XDD

I'm moving out of Davis soon. I think my last week here will be the week after memorial day weekend. Might be my last days here :(

I'm so tired. T____T

I couldn't resist...

Screw volunteering and whatever my first priority things were. I'm going to Fanime.

I looked over my Fanime pics again instead of studying for the midterm I have in an hour and I REALLY REALLY WANNA GO T_________________T

I want to see Inkheart =(

And I still haven't seen The Curious Case of Benjamin Button yet.

Movies anyone? XD

I tried to make sugar cookies yesterday! This was only cos my apartment is freezing cold and I was hoping the oven would warm up the apartment a little bit.

The first batch was a little burned on the bottom cos the rack was too low. The second batch I left in the oven for a little too long after the oven got turned off so they turned out more crunchy. Still good, but very crunchy. I should just stop my attempts to bake.

The apartment is still freezing.

A real update this time without all the bitterness.

I did get a job here in West Davis through the school website which I am very grateful for despite its low salary. It does provide experience I've never had before so I am grateful that she hired me. I currently work at Curves, a fitness club for women only as a circuit coach. Basically, I stand in the middle of the circuit coaching mainly older overweight women on the machines and act as their cheerleader. A lot of the women there are really nice. They'll listen to what I say and accept the corrections when I make them. One of them heard I was hungry when I was about to close and she went home and brought me food =D.
Some of them, however, are pains in the ass. My boss is generally a nice lady. Insanely anal about how she does things, but she's a nice person. She fed me bread =D Yeah, I'm easy like that. Feed me and I'll think you're the nicest person in the world.

I'm still working at Tucker's and I landed another job a few weeks ago tutoring high school kids chemistry. Tucker's mess up my hands but I like working with most of the people there and the salary is relatively better. My kids are so cute (There's only two) and I wished I could help them more.

To cap it all, I work 7 days a week ranging from 5-9 hours a day. I really need time to study for GREs so I can actually qualify applying to PT school. I was thinking of going to Border's with a cup of coffee and just sitting there for three hours, but instead I'm doing this lol. I'm a little iffy on the coffee cos last time I tried to ease myself off of it, I had a headache for two days straight. Gotta be careful of how much I ingest.

There's a new Quickly's that opened in North Davis! It's too far away. Such a waste of gas going myself just for tapioca... but I really want their chicken T___T and the one in Alameda closed down. . . .

Regarding politics, I'm really happy Obama is president. I'm looking forward to the new things he will present. However, I do feel really bad for him just because he has to pick up after the 8 years of mess Bush left behind. He has to find some way to fix this economy of ours and if he fails, people are going to hate him for it. If McKain won, I probably wouldn't have minded as much if Palin wasn't vice. Cos if McKain croaked under all the crap Bush left him, Palin running this country doesn't sound all that appealing. I wished I could have watched the debates though. People said they were pretty good. I am so mad that Prop 8 passed. It's discrimination all over again and we're repeating history all over again. My parents were all happy that it passed and I'm like wtf.... Stupid closed minded old people.

I haven't been watching any dramas or new anime that came out. I wished I had time, but when I get back from work, I just want to sleep. I'm getting old and tired.

Still have to register for Fanime before prices go up anymore. Need to pull myself together.

I have a lot of crap to update. This, however, is not the time to update cos I'll just make everything sound shitty.

I need a job where it pays at least 20 an hour. And I will never have to deal with people ever again except for the person who gives me my paycheck. I'm so very very sick of customer service. I'm also very very sick of working 7 days a week making less than 20000 a year smiling and pretending I give a fuck.

My roommate either does not talk or talks forever. My sister is not doing any chores. My other housemates are too insanely happy for their own good. My computer has this killer graphics card that I have yet to try out because of my jobs.

I hate the world right now. My social life is nonexistent. Yes, I'm fucking PMSing.

I tried watching Fourth Cast in Higamyu. I failed. I can't make it through them even to see what the Higachu cast looks like. Baba as Kaidoh was love though. Yah, I don't like fourth cast.

And Naruto fails right now. Really bad.

It's my second week of my physical therapy inpatient internship, and I'm happy to say it's not like the other stuff I did. It's actually kinda hectic, and they let you interact with the patients way more than my other internships. The therapists actually explain what they're doing when they get a chance to, and definitely mind what the volunteers are doing. The patients are mostly really ill, but most of them are so nice and they're so funny =D. I used to stare at the clock and count minutes till my shift ends, but this one goes by quite fast.

I hope it stays this way =D

Ochem midterm tomrw. I'm going to die. Why can't ochem ever stick to my head like the other stuff do? I think I had better luck with physics than this crap.

Ah yes, happy Tanabata everyone =D

Whole bunch of firsts this weekend:

Drove down to San Mateo for the first time with Yuko to visit Yan Yan. We ended up staying at her friend Jamie's for a little bit for her other friends to arrive. They did our make up. Which was another first for me. Eyelids felt kinda heavy cos I wasn't used to it XD Went to karaoke afterwards at I forgot where. But it was ten minutes away. Another first for me cos Melissa has karaoke. Stayed there till 2am xDD. Also found out that eyeliner works miracles, but is a pain in the ass the get off. I still don't understand what they did to me or what they used on me....but it was pretty =D

On the day after, Yan Yan's parents took us to dim sum for lunch then we went to Bloomingdale's. It was humongous. And the stuff was gorgeous.. and costly. I've never seen so many brand name things in one place *___*

My commencement was on Friday 13th =D. It was the longest two hours ever. I wouldn't have put up with it if my parents didn't insist that I walk. To me, the ceremony was absolutely pointless because I'm not doing anything remotely related to my major. Bleah.

But after the graduation, I went to LA with Walter, Yuko, and Yan Yan from Japanese class. We rented a white Chevy and drove down there on Saturday afternoon. On the first night, we chilled at Eric's place. He was nice enough to let us stay for two nights =D. He took us to a Korean tofu restaurant near his place and OMG.... food was soo good. The soup had so much stuff in it and there were so many side dishes. And there was free appetizers!! And yogurt afterwards!!!! <3 So yummy...

On Sunday, we went to Universal Studios after we spent forever trying to find Walter's friend Tyler's place to pick his ugly ass up. The idiot had some stomach flu or some form of diarrhea the first day and made us all freaking late. No, that's not the reason I have issues with him. That comes later when he decides to sit his ass in the front seat and decides to sleep the whole time when the rest of us are in the back of the van trying to help Walter navigate through LA freeways. WTF man. Fine... given that he might have been sick and may have needed rest, that might be forgiven. But WHEN WE TELL YOU TO GET YOUR ASS US AT 6AM IN THE MORNING AND WE'RE LEAVING AT 7:30, YOU DO IT. YOU DON'T TAKE A FREAKING 30MIN TO SHOWER WHEN THE REST OF US ARE WAITING ON YOUR ASS AT 7:15. What kinda guy takes freaking 30 min to shower in the morning? And another 1/2 to do his hair? WTF. *sigh* I think it was the shower thing that made most of us want to kill him. Then the fact that he has to get back on Wednesday to go camping with his buddies making the rest of us have to go back to Davis early finished it off. If he wasn't Walter's friend, we might have killed him.

Universal Studios was a lot better than I expected. I went a couple of times before but they added a lot of new rides and new attractions which was nice. Took a lot of pics =D. They're on FB. The Back to the Future ride was closed for some reason, but they opened up a Simpson's ride which was really cool =D The lines weren't that long which was surprising because it was on a weekend. We managed to get on Jurassic Park and the Mummy ride twice. Oh and they opened up The House of Horrors? I think that's what it was called. Yuko wanted to go in and she was freaking out the whole time we were there xDDD. I don't think it was was she expected it to be lol. One of the guys in there dressed as a mummy kept chasing her cos of her reactions xDD.

Disneyland...a freak load of kids, parents, and strollers. We wanted to be there at 8am when the park opened. But of course, that didn't happen. We ended up getting there at around 10. Everything was pretty much the same as the last time I went, but we went to California Adventure Park too which I liked a lot better. There were more rides for the "bigger kids" and less shows and stuff. Because we only had a day there, we were pretty much running half the time to get fast passes and lining up for other things. But we covered the two parks pretty well. We went on all the "big kid" rides and the lines weren't that bad... for Disneyland. They closed down the "Small World" ride though, because they were doing repairs on it. We wanted to go on it cos it was the traditional creepy ride =D The PoTC ride made up for it plenty though <3 We ended the day by eating ourselves silly and watching Fantasmic afterwards.

On Tuesday, we went to Santa Monica Beach. We didn't get there till 2:30pm cos we went down the wrong direction of LA. I think we ended up in the bad part of LA where Eric warned us not to go the first night lol. Me, Yuko and Yan Yan sat in Lisa's car cos we couldn't stand Tyler anymore. In doing so, we were hating on poor Walter for awhile too lol. In the end, we had to lead to get Walter and the van out of the pit of LA and into Santa Monica.
The beach was gorgeous and the waves were so big! We didn't see as many hot surfer guys as we would have liked, but it was really pretty. I wished we stayed longer.

We didn't start driving back till 8pm. Didn't arrive at Davis till 4am. Me and Yan Yan switched off the whole night cos we didn't want Walter the drive. We told him that it's cos he drove in LA the whole time and he needed rest, but it was really cos he drove like a maniac >.<. We were so tired that we started seeing things on the road. Not fun. Never doing that again.

But besides the countless detours, the packed packed schedule, ppl can't making our schedule, and Tyler, it was really really fun and I hope we can do it again sometime.

Fanime was so much fun! And so productive, in a non academic way <3. I got to meet Kiuchi Hidenobu, the seiyuu for Oshitari Yuushi, attended An Cafe concert, and join a mob of screaming (potential) fangirls at Yaoi bingo. Kiuchi san was at Yaoi bingo btw XDD And stayed for the whole thing. He didn't run away screaming.... I wonder why XD
Thank you Amy, for helping me draw my picture =D I hope he doesn't throw it away T__T

( Picture with Kiuchi-san )

Ah, but school sucks so much afterwards. Because I didn't do anything academically productive, work I have to do is piling up. My Japanese teacher decided to schedule the oral exam, chapter exam, and listening exam all next week. Found out my EXB 104L final is on Monday. My EXB group project is due Tuesday. And finals are the next week after. *sigh*

I've been out of it all week this week. And I miss Fanime so much...
Until next year...

This is why I still can't leave old Tenimyu cast members alone. *wibbles over Konii*

I need a life. I think I might go crazy soon. The workload this quarter is ridiculous for 15 units. 

It's only been a week... and I'm already exhausted. Can't blame spring break, cos we actually got a longer one this year. So it must be the weather xD or maybe it's senioritis dawning me, or that I was stupid enough to save up both my lab classes for my last quarter here.

I'm taking only 15 units this quarter, but because of my two labs, it's a shitload of classtime. Thankfully, my teachers only required readers not textbooks this time, so that saved me a lot of money. So far my schedule is, read for weekly quizzes for both EXB lab and EXB 117, prelabs for MIC 102L, weekly lab reports for EXB lab, and Japanese. In short, there's a mountain of reading to do this quarter.

Spent the first week playing my DS though. I stupidly thought I could control my time, so I brought it to the library with me. Attempted to read, then spent about three hours playing Digimon till my battery died. Which is why I left it at back home this week. I don't think I can look at it till the end of the quarter.

My classes, though, are actually pretty interesting. My teachers are awesome except for my Japanese teacher, but even he improved a bit from last quarter. Microbio lab turned out to be more fun that I expected. My professor is hilarious and my "clan" members are awesome. Our whole "island" is pretty awesome xD. Doing the worse in Japanese right now actually, cos I don't have time to read over the grammar points as extensively as I like to. So need to make that up pretty fast. We're learning Keigo right now, and even Yuko has issues with it.

Need to work a lot this quarter, especially early this quarter cos need to save money for next month's rent and fanime... *sigh* My fandom is expensive.

Sisweb came out with final grades for winter quarter!!!  I'm happy to say I did well and I can rest easy turning my brain to mush in the remainder of my break before spring quarter starts =D.

Saw Ling and Melissa this weekend! Went out to get Tapex and then make a last minute decision to go with Melissa to UOP on Sunday. It was really fun though. I'm glad I went before they both graduate. I still regret not being able to make it to Wellsley to visit Linda before she graduates though. I was considering going during the break, but never got around to ordering plane tickets. I think my parents will prolly kill me if I told them I'm flying to the east coast....

Was supposed to go to Japantown with Thu, Giang, and Quyen today, but my dad asked me last night to help him with a job today so couldn't go. Sorry guys >.< Hopefully next time I can go.

Only 5 more days of spring break left T___T Time passes so fast...
