Happy Holidays! (also an update)

Hey guys! Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! And so on!

Just wanted to update you guys since my last blog...I know, I know I haven't been updating as much but it was finals time (which went ok) and of course holiday season is here. (And maybe perhaps no awkward convos with the opposite gender have occurred since).

I am glad this semester is over with. I was really worried about not passing this one class (organic chemistry) and so by the time grades were supposed to be out I was pretty much freaking out. But luckily all is good and this semester turned out pretty well. I'm just glad I can take a break from all this school nonsense.

Just got back from seeing Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and it was really good. I highly recommend it. It reminded me of Forrest Gump alot while I was watching it...Don't know why but it did. But you should see it. Definitely oscar worthy IMO.

As some you may know, I'll be away this weekend on a ski trip to Jersey. So I'll definitely try to get some pics (maybe even video) of it if I can of me falling on my ass multiple times and I will post them here when I get back.

Also, I just wanted to thank all you foos who left a nice video message on my wall wishing me Merry Christmas. I'm sorry I haven't been able to comment them yet, but I really appreciated it and to be honest I didn't even expect that many of you to even leave me a text, rather than a whole video. Haha, so thanks and wish all you guys a safe and happy holidays!!!

Peace.

An awkward turtle for you...

Ok, remind me why I put so much effort into not being awkward...I still up end making a fool of myself anyway?

This is might seem a bit of a surprise to you, but I am not very good with the ladies. In fact, I am pretty horrible at deciphering and interacting with the opposite sex so much, that I am pretty sure people are starting to think I am gay. (No offense to gay people, I like them very much...when you're not sitting next to me on a subway)

So whyyyyy is this so? Why do girls make it so much harder to hold a conversation with and why do I continually fall victim to that?

Take for example, something that happened to me a couple weeks ago..

I was studying for an exam, and I realized that this girl I kinda sorta liked (not really but she was cute) and that I've known for a while was sitting next to me. Now obviously, I didn't want to say hi because I didn't want to seem like a bother and we were in the library to boot. (Btw, you know how you start acting really weird and strange when a person you sorta like is near you in proximity...like you start thinking of different scenarios in your head in which you could either A. start up an interesting convo or B. try to avoid any contact whatsoever and hope he/she goes away soon....No? Ok, maybe it's just me then...sigh)

Anyway, I was done studying for the night and got up to go...and she recognized me and said hi. I noticed she was on her way out too....Great.

So this is how our convo went as were walking out of the lbrary:

Her: "Were you sitting next to me? I wasn't sure."
Me: "Yeah, I think I was..."
Her: "Oh, so you saw me? Why didn't you say hi earlier?"
Me: "Oh.. well...I mean...I thought......I'm not sure...."(chuckles really lamely)
Her: (sees another friend) "Oh hey!" (goes away)

...Yep. I hate opposite gender encounters. It's like trying to think of something so hard to say...and that it really starts to wrack your brain. And btw, I am not blaming girls for this (even though they could be MUCH less confusing from time to time). I am merely commenting at my shortcomings with the ladies and letting you have a laugh at my expense because that's what I do for you guys.

Anyways, I just thought I'd share that and confess that in spite of things I may say from time to time online..I am not good with the ladies AT ALL. So there you have it.

Good day.

A special Happy Birthday...

:)

Seriously, I hart u guys so much!

To blog or not to blog....

Sup foos.. yeah I'm back. I'm still here and alive. I haven't gone anywhere. Woo.

But yeah sorry for the lack of blogs lately. It's been a combination of laziness and lacking of anything even remotely interesting that's happened to me the past couple of weeks that have led to this. Even the previous post was kind of a filler that just happened to be posted in the spur of the moment.

But it sure made some people smile and feel warm and happy inside, righttttt? :)

And my nose just started bleeding.....aw crap. Brb.



Ok, I'm back. What was I talking about before the wonders of biology interrupted me?

Oh yeah, laziness and uninterestingness...Basically that sums up my life. Haha I kid. I kid. Or not...

Like I said, nothing interesting has happened, and that's probably cause schoolwork is piling up and I haven't had time to do anything interesting. Unless you count poker. Which I lost 5 dollars at last night. Or me and Ralphie singing A Whole New World on skype. Which thank god wasn't recorded. Or getting an extremely weird call from Comcast asking me to do a survey. OVER THE PHONE. Yeah, isn't that weird? It doesn't help also when the guy taking the survey sounded like he wanted to kill himself. Well I guess if I was in his shoes, I'd think about it too.

Oh and I think I'm going to Cancun for spring break. Woo! I know. It's not like me to do this kind of thing. I'm really not a party guy. AT ALL. But all my friends are going and I figured what the heck? It might turn out to be fun.

Don't you just hate it when you know you've got a buncha stuff due or exams coming up, but you still haven't give thought to the fact that MAYBE this time you're not gonna procrastinate? Or you have but you still end up doing it? I would say procrastination is one of my biggest "bad habits" you could say. And I really do need to stop procrastinating. The effects of procrastinating just worsens when you're in college. And lemme just say procrastination one more time. Man, I am a terrible blogger haha.

Anyways, so sorry for the lack of posts. I'll try to keep it up if I can stop being lazy. Or at least post when something interesting comes up. Which may be never. But whatevs. I'd rather post quality blogs once in awhile than crappy posts everyday.

Ooooh it's cold and my sarah joys are getting pointy...I better put a shirt on...

Alright talk to you laterr!

I've got something very important to tell you...

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak,
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you.

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay..


And that, my friends, is all that needs to be said.

More of an update on previous blog.

So as most of you know, I finally have internet at my place.


YES. HALLELUJAH!

Sorry for such a short blog last time, but I was too excited to really have the time to update you guys on what's been going on.

I mean can you blame me?

These last couple of weeks were pretty bad. Torturous even. Imagine not having internet. For two weeks. Ok, well that's a lie since I did have internet. Just not at my place. But nothing beats home sweet home. Or would that be home sweet internet in my case?

Either way, I am just relieved to have this whole ordeal over with. And you guys are probably wondering why it took me so freakin long to have this situation settled.

Well, it's NOT MY FAULT! Ok, well I guess it is partially my fault. But let me just tell you the details.

I told you that the technician came to install the internet about two weeks ago. He found out during the installation that the line (which is the cable line they use to connect to provide t.v., internet) in my apt apparently wasn't working. So he said that I have to call Comcast to have them set up a prepost (which is an appointment to have a new line installed). So I did, and they told me they would contact me within 48 hrs to have that set up. So I waited. 48 hrs came and went. They never called me back. So I called again. This lady on the other line told me to call this other number. Which I did. And no one picked up. So I left a message. Never called me back. Called and left another message. Still nothing. And keep in mind, I was still being pretty patient at this time. I figured they were bound to get back to me sooner or later.

But a week came and went. And now I was starting to get anxious. Really anxious. Meanwhile I was still having to use the library's internet and frankly, was getting pretty tired of it.

So I finally called them again. Hopefully for the last time. The lady who picked up told me that the technician who came to install the internet should have set up that prepost himself, not the customer. So I'm thinking, great. Now what?

Let me just tell you that thank god some of the customer service reps actually know what they're talking about and can be helpful. Extremely helpful in my case. She set up another appointment for me to have another technician stop by. And THAT technician found out my line was working fine, it was just the line wasn't turned on to actually be used. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Yes, it is over. The situation has been resolved. A lot of words were said and a lot of tears were cried. Ok, maybe no tears but you get the idea.

So that's my story pretty much. I figured this blog post is already long enough without me having to tell you the "normal" stuff that's happened to me. So I'll just leave it here for now. And I'm glad to be back and fully functioning again. Now to concentrate on school and the important stuff. But I am expecting one of those late night skype calls to occur *cough cough* soon in the future.

I mean I'm back! That's the least I deserve don't you think? :)

Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg

Omg guys, guess what?










I. Have. Internet. Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Situation? Really fucking bad (Sorry for language)

You know that feeling you get when you feel helpless and can't do anything to resolve a situation? Like the whole thing's gone completely out of hands and no matter what you do, things don't get any better?

Well, it has now been a week (and counting) that I STILL do not have internet set up at my place and I'm not even close to resolving that problem. The Comcast people never called me back about setting up a new line and I even called them to check with them my situation. But all I could do was leave a message and hope someone contact me back.

Fat chance of that happening.

So right now I am at the library typing this, and while I am fortunate that my school does provide me some things worth paying tuition for, it doesn't beat the comfort of your own home.

And I really wanted to show you guys my new place. Well, not that it's anything special...

The past week has been pretty mundane other than my internet situation. Like I mentioned, class has started for me and it seems this semester won't be nearly as bad as previous ones. On Friday night I went over to a friend's place and played brawl for over 3 hrs, literally. Haha, well I guess college kids can be nerds too. :) Seriously I played so much that I pretty much got sick of it, if you can believe it, by the end. Even though I was owning most of the time. :) Other than that, it was nice hanging with my college buds again. They just seem so much more mature and i dunno...cool than some of the recent people I've met online. No worries guys, I'm not talking about those who read my blog, but some of the other...ustreamers....and kj.com people. Yeah, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Oh and apparently Ustream doesn't work with the school computers here...Well I guess no one goes on there anymore :( But if they do, kindly inform them that the ducks have flown south for the fall (?) and will migrate back ASAP. :)

Alright that's it for now, talk to you guys soon.

P.S. I am anxiously waiting for that video of yours, Sarah :)

A quickie for ya

Ok, so right now I am sitting in my school's computer labs typing this up. Why am in the computer lab you ask? Well I'll shall tell you. But not right now.

I actually have class in like 30 min, so I'll have to keep this short. Basically the last couple of days culminated in this: NO FREAKIN INTERNET! STILL!

Ok, so the guy comes to install the internet and finds out that my cable line to my apartment doesn't seem to work. What does that mean? Well, it means I have to install a new line. Yep. And that means waiting another day or two for another guy to come in and do that.

....Can you say ARGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH?????

So yes, I have now been living in this apt for the past week and still am internet-less...sigh...

But on the bright side, I won 5 bucks from poker! Yay! I guess that means those long hours of playing fb poker payed off huh? Lol.

So yeah, that's my situation currently and I hope to be connected soon. I know you miss me guys and it's tough to go through life without that resident duck companion of yours. But try to hold on ok?

Talk to you foos soon.

Ohhh stop it! You're too modest!

I've been trying for the last 5 minutes trying to think up a clever way to start this blog post. But nothing came to me, so I'll guess I'll just go with a wise proverb to get you started:

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it must be a duck.

I know huh? I made it up myself.

Ok, I didn't make it up. But still, very fitting doncha say?


I guess the trouble is, nothing (at least nothing interesting) really happened these past couple of days. Maybe that's why I had trouble starting this. And I'm one of those people that tries not to recount their whole day because frankly, most of my days are just not that interesting. Maybe it's cause school hasn't started yet, so it's been hard to keep myself occupied. Has that occurred to you? Like when you're waiting for something to happen, and you have to try to keep yourself busy until it does. And the fact that you're waiting makes it that much harder to do.

Read that twice, because I had to just to make sense of what I wrote.

Anyways, these past couple of days, I've just been chillin' pretty much. Like I said, I'm not one to recount my days. Although, I did go to the dentist on Thursday. And my friend, who works at Pizza Boli's COMPLETELY forgot to bring me free food last night, even though I called him 5 hrs beforehand to make sure. So we had to go to Checker's at like 12 midnight. And I was starving as a horse. I dunno if you know, but ducks cannot go long without bread at all. That's why they never get full. You keep feeding them bread, and they'll keep eating it. They gotta save up in case they never see Cindy again. :)

Not Sarah though.

What a meanie.

Oh guys, if you want my AIM you'll have to ask for it. I can't just post it here due to the many stalkers I will possess...cough Brandon cough...

And freakin get on Skype people! Sheesh what happened to everyone?

Ok, I guess this will be it for now. I will leave you guys with a very dear friend of mine:

Meet Jim:
Cute isn't he? I want all the girls to leave "Awwwww he's soo cuuute!" comments to make him happy. You too brandon. I mean come on. You can stare into those eyes forever.

P.S. - Oh btw, I might be coming out with something special soon. It's a surprise but I'll give you a hint. It has to do with a lovely little site that we all go to and wander around, looking for something to...watch...So just be on the lookout for that. :)

Ok later foos.

DJHFSHFSLHFHG

And WHAT THE HELL?

No one is on. Like no one is on skype, AIM, ustream, or any of the hundreds of ways we communicate.

This is gay.

Update time

Sup foos, sorry I haven't updated this in a few days. That's what happens when you don't have internet access. Which I don't at my new apartment. And It. SUCKS. Period. Try going a week without internet. I doubt you'd last. And this is just a few days so far. You must be wondering how I am typing this right now. No? Not really? Well, I'll tell you anyways. I went home. Yep. Awesome.

Anywayssssss, I called Comcast like 2 days ago to set up my internet and I originally had them come in on Thursday. But I found out I had a dentist appointment. Just my luck. So I had to reschedule and they didn't freakin had any available openings until the following Tuesday.

Tuesday?!?!?!? Are you freakin serious?!?!!?

Yea. So that sucks major balls. Luckily my house still has internet so I'll be here over the weekend. My uncle is also coming to visit from China. So that should be pretty exciting. I haven't seen him in like 5 years. And why am I typing in such short sentences you ask? Well, this is my blog. I can do whatever I want.

Let's see...what else happened?

I visited my college buds that I haven't seen since school ended, so that was pretty fun. And no. I did not get drunk. Or high. I don't do those things.

Drugs and alcohol are not even words in my vocabulary.

Oh and apparently I need to get stuff that I didn't realize I needed for living. Like shower curtains. And laundry detergent. And clothes hangers. And food.

So I guess that's it for now. I have to get reading my fellow bloggers and see what those bitches are up to.

Ooooo a Vanessa Hugdens concert? Nice...

Ok, you know that saying "Oh man, it feels like summer just flew by! School is here already! waahhhh"

Well, has there been any summers in which it didn't feel short at all? Or school years that just flew by unexpectedly? That happened to me this year. The school year flew by and the summer dragged on. I dunno why that would happen because usually summer means fun and fun means time flies. It's not to say I didn't have fun, in fact, I had plenty of good times. But it just seemed that summer ran longer than usual for me.

Today, I got my keys to the new apt, so yay! I'll be moving most likely tomorrow, so you won't see me online for a couple days as I have to call Comcast to get my internet set up. Living w/o your parents is great, but those bills sure aren't. I have to start paying for rent, internet, gas & electric, food, and who knows what else?

Oh, and I had Panda Express for lunch today.....hm that's all I have to say on that.

Oh and SkypeMe should be interesting tonight...if we actually get to play it. Right now only chris, jayther, and some weird canatian guy is online. It is Friday, isn't it?

Canada is gay.

So I promised some pics earlier from my vacation to Bermuda and yes, be prepared to get jealous. A lot.

The view from our ship as we sail into Bermuda. How nice.

The beautiful red sunset slowly fading into the horizon...How romantic.

And finally one of the many beaches here. Which we did not go to. But the picture is here so stop complaining.
You may notice that I'm not in any of the photos. Well, that's cause my parents took these pics, and 99.99999% of them were either a combination of my dad, my mom, or my dad and my mom together. I had to scour the folder just to find some decent photos of the scenery. That took awhile. Sometimes I just find it annoying and weird that Asian parents want to take pictures of themselves every 5 minutes while on a vacation. Don't you?

Daaaaaaaang girl!

Ok, so I decided for this blog that I'll try to update this everyday. The only consequence would be my posts won't run for like seven paragraphs. I've seen you all write like novels *cough sarah cough*, and that's just cause I can be pretty lazy sometimes. But don't worry, this blog will be full of nice tidbits and whatnots for your pleasure. :)

This past week I was noticeably absent and no, I did not die or elope or win the lottery. I went on vacation (gasp!) to Bermuda for a week. Yes. That's right. Bermuda. And it was heaven. Well, not exactly heaven. I got sunburn :( and it hurt like a mofo. I thought I was being all badass not putting on sunscreen when my mom kept telling me too. Well, let's just say you should ALWAYS do what your mom tells you. I learned my lesson. And now, I am peeling like a potato.

But anyways, back to Bermuda. It was a tropical paradise as you would expect and the beaches were fantastic. I'll put up some pics later, I can't find my camera right now. The water is clear as the sky and perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving, which I did extensively. I also did this underwater helmet dive where you actually dive in 20 ft to the ocean floor and walk across. It was pretty interesting and certainly a new experience. And apparently moldy bread is like crack to fish. They go crazy for that.

So...hm what else is new? Oh apparently my lease for my apartment starts tomorrow, and I'm debating whether I should start moving in. Obviously, you guys would be like duh cause you're rent starts, you might as well move in. The thing is, my parents are both working this week and so I would have to move in by myself. And I have to bring in furniture and stuff, which is going to be hard with just me. Maybe I can call up some of my friends who are already moved in. Maybe this is just me being lazy haha. That's probably it lol.

So yeah, I might, I repeat I might, be moving into my apt. tomorrow. That should be pretty exciting. But then I realize I'm moving in for school, which doesn't seem so exciting anymore. But whatevs. I could just show up and bring non-heavy things for now and bring the rest later. I'll figure something out.

Wow, this entry turned out pretty long. I guess it's not that hard to write novels huh?

Number one

Ok so I started this because other people were doing it and 'cause i was bored. And because Cindy is so persuading ;). I guess this will take getting used to since i've never blogged before.

It's weird in this situation because for blogging, it's essentially like a diary, only other people can read it and that's kind of a weird concept to me. It's not like I can put just any of my thoughts here. Or maybe I can haha. And if you're reading this you probably already know who I am, so that anonymity the internet so wonderfully provides for us disappears. But, as they say, I'll just "go with the flow" and see how this turns out.

And I'll try to update this as much as I can...unlike some people...:)

So for now, peace and expect more soon.
