takin my mind off things
its so cool having friends to keep my mind off of things. ever since i've been on strike, ive been hangin out w/ friends who can relate to what im going through and can offer advice on what i should do next. since summer started, i've been hangin out w/ Tiffany, Susie, and Ryan and also chillin a few times w/ Ronnel, Mark, Joe, Marvin, and a few other people. just doing simple things like chillin, cookin, getting boba, and going to the beach have been just the thing to get my mind off of difficult things that i have been going through. if i continue having the good times that i have been having, im sure this summer will be one of the best that i have ever had. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

that time of the year
this weekend is graduation weekend for UCSD. i went to the Marshall College graduation, and saw so many friends that i have made over the past few years walk up on stage and receive the key to the next step in their lives...their degrees. it was bittersweet to see them up there. i was happy for them that they achieved the fruits of their 4-5 years at this institution, but at the same time for selfish reasons, it was kinda sad to see them take those next steps, because they were taking the next step in their lives, leaving us behind to continue on. the memories that i have shared with them makes me wish they were staying here longer so that we can make more memories together...but thats wishful thinking, for them to do so would mean that they would have to take a backward step. so all i can do is wish them well, and hope that they will come back to visit every once in awhile. congrats to the class of 2002 and good luck in the futere. stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

3 years
exactly 3 years ago today, i graduated from high school. it doesnt seem all that long ago that i walked up on stage in mira mesa stadium to receive my diploma cover...shoot, it seems like yesterday i was worrying that i was gonna be late to my first class freshman year of high school cuz i didnt know that i had to pick up my schedule from another class for 15 min before going to my first class. man, i am getting old...before i know it, i'll be graduating from UCSD (not to make any of you graduates feel old). well...3 years down, 7 more til the reunion, i'll try not to feel old until then. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =l

finals week...
is upon us at UCSD and im not really feeling the burn yet. maybe cuz my finals schedule isnt that bad. a paper and an optional quiz (which i doubt i'm taking) for children's lit on tuesday, cog sci 11 final on weds, cog sci 3 and ethnic studies 101 finals both on thursday and then i'm done for the summer. i'm not stressing cuz i feel that i can pretty much do well on these finals...i just have to get through them...just 4 hurdles to jump over and im done. i am actually taking a break this summer...no summer school for me, just work and chill time. i'm also coming back to summer bridge as a resource counselor, after much debate about which position i should take (RC or ATC)...so i'm excited about that. i also turn 21 in just over a month, so i will be a full adult with all the privileges that come with it. i dunno if i'm fully ready for it...but i guess leaving childhood (or partial adulthood) to become an adult is another hurdle in life i have to get through, but it should be fun.
well...i was gonna get back to writing my paper since i took a 5 hour boba break that was supposed to be only an hour...but look at the time...time to sleep. i vow to finish this paper by tonight...but now i must sleep. nite...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

recap
grad banquet was soooooo fun. it turned out better than i had expected. mad props to Cat & Susan for chairing one of the best grad banquets that i had ever been a part of. i just finished watching the first part of the night thanks to Aldrin and his digital video camera. i downloaded the first part of the night via aim...but im just gonna wait for him to burn me a cd of the night for the rest since our connections are lagging. i think the dance routine turned out to be better than the others that i had been in...only cuz i didnt mess up...or if i did, it wasnt too noticeable (think talent show 1999)...and it didnt involve throwing furniture (think grad banquet 2001). and we even had plenty of time to dance to the beats of dj ultraman (Benji), dj all good (Dave), dj sureflow (Mikey), and dj whatshisname (Alex Sario...sorry i forgot his dj name). all in all, it was a good night. after the night was over, we all went to visit Chris at Copy Club since he had to leave from the grad banquet early to work. after that, Jas, Adam, Richard, Armando, Mai-Lee, Susan, Caroline and i went to Quickly for some boba, and then Keith's for some grub.
i finally talked to her yesterday...she came online after the Lakers game. i miss talking to her and seeing her...i cant wait til she gets back from the Philippines. just 2 1/2 weeks til she comes back.
oh remember how i was feeling old? well...at least i'm not as old as Rosanna who is turning 22 at the end of this month...haha she's calling me old right now on the phone while i'm blogging...but she's older than me!! time to do other stuff...til later, stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

full day
full of constructive stuff. work, errands, home, ATC end of the year party (started watching the Lakers game there), starbucks run during 3rd qtr (tasty caramel macchiato), APSA grad banquet work party, finished watching the Lakers win game 6 at Kristhine's dorm, back to work party, dance practice during work party (my legs are sore!!!), went to Chris's pregrad-grad party, came home...and now here i am. i'm pooped...i really think i should start working out again, cuz practicing for dance routine has tired me out...if u were to ask me when the last time i worked out, i would say "i was hoping u would tell me", it's been so long since i worked out, that i dont even remember, i've just been too damned lazy or busy to get my workout on. maybe next week i'll head back to the gym, since i dont really have anything left to do for school until finals in 2 weeks...we'll see.
on a side note, i can officially say that i'm turning 21 next month!!! yay me, but now i'm getting old (refer to 5/30 post)...oh well, i can't help it...but it will be nice being able to use the priviledges that come w/ that age. to prove the statement that i am getting old, i am going to sleep to rest my aging body up for tomorrow's (today's) APSA grad banquet. but before i leave...Nem is getting her shout out (just so she can't say that my memory is getting bad)...i just realized that i've been talking in a lot of ()'s in this post...oh well, stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)
