this weekend
ok, right now as i'm typing this, i'm at the library lounge at school waiting for the APSA meeting to start...but i had wanted to blog on sunday night, but was too lazy to type. but yeah, this weekend was really busy. APSA talent show was this weekend, and for like the first half, thats all that i did. i was in charge of the info booth, so for much of friday and all of saturday i was doing stuff for that. in addition to that, i also had PCC practice on friday night, and skit and dance practice right after that. while i was holding the fort down during talent show, i was also practicing. the skit went off really well. i was hella (yup my bay areaness is kinda sorta coming out...not really) nervous right before i went on stage...since i had a big role as the "evil director" which was my first time ever doing a major role, i was very edgy (is that a word?) but i ended up doing pretty well (although i stuttered a bit). dance routine was fun too, i learned a lot of it during the last week...but i saw the dance video, and i think i did ok (for an apsa dance routine). after the show was over, a bunch of us (like 20 deep) went to Keith's to eat. i was in the mood for some breakfast, so i had a ham ommelette. when i got home, i literally passed out from being so tired.
the next day was apsa alumni/undergrad sports day. i woke up around the time it started, so i was about an hour late...but it's all good. i got there right as they started playing soccer. i chilled there for about an hour, before i headed to the cross cultural center w/ Reggie. we got there right before 1, thinking that that was when practice was supposed to start. when we got there loralei told us that we owed her a dollar since practice started @ 1230. i was like wtf??? i thought it was at 1...but apparently they had sent out emails saying that the time had changed to 1230. i was upset about that...cuz they didnt mention anything at the last practice...and last week they had told us that it was at 1. that put a damper on my practice, cuz i was expecting to be enjoying myself during practice, but all i was doing was thinking about that. practice was supposed to go til 4, but reggie and i cut out at 3 to go back to sports day, where i played a little bit of football. the undergrads ended up winning the day, taking both soccer and basketball, and tying at football. that night, like 25 of us went to rei do gado's, an all u can eat brazilian bbq place. good stuff i tell ya, but a bit pricey. good food, and lotsa competition to see who could eat the most meat. Marissa ended up getting rookie of the year, after she out ate all of the rookies (most of whom were male)...but i think she paid for it later =þ
all in all it was a fun, tiring, interesting, and non-academic weekend. class has been blah...this is the last week, and then finals are up next week. this is also the last week w/ my 7th graders @ the Preuss school. it was fun going there. alrighty...i was gonna study, but i got stuck doing this...so yeah...time for the apsa meeting. i hope u enjoyed reading this unusually long blog. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =þ

did i mention
that i had pcc practice today? yeah, can u believe it...i swore off all the practices after my experiences last year (i felt like a lot of time was wasted, and i didnt really feel like i was a part of pcc for much of last year's practices), but i had a lot of fun during hell week, so now i'm back for more. well yeah...the first pcc practice was today, which is a lil bit later than usual (the show is on mother's day weekend)...meaning we have a lil more than 2 months to get things ready. i'm in sakuting, and i'm thinking about trying out for a small part for cast, just so i have more time on stage. i just did 1 dance last year and was an extra in the party scene...and the rest of the time i was stage crew. i figure that since i'm putting all this time into pcc, that i should be in more than just 1 3-5 minute dance.
apsa talent show is this saturday...if youre reading this, then that means you must go, cuz it's gonna be a good show, and if that doesnt make u wanna go, then the fact that i'm gonna make a fool of myself on stage should convince ya. ok, enough randomness (wow 2 entries in less than a day) time for me to sleep, i'm getting experimented on tomorrow by the UCSD psychology department...maybe they will find out what's wrong with me sometimes. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages ;)

this week...
busy week this past week. i had a midterm for psyc 101 this past tuesday..didnt do as well as i would have liked...but i did better than i did before. ive also been really busy getting things for APSA's Talent Show done...i'm in charge of the info booth where everybody checks in, so i've been getting the stuff i need ready for that. but i've also been designing the name badges for the acts, the committees, and the committee heads. i never realized how anal i get when i am creating something. but i dunno, i love being creative (which is prolly why i did the APSA programs for so long), but when i get creative, i also become a perfectionist, and everything has to be in the right place before i'm happy with it. so, being the perfectionist that i am...it takes forever for me to do these name badges. i've also got the skit for talent show to practice for...which should be fun. it's a great skit thanks to Reggie, Mizuki & Jackie who wrote it.
last night i went to the marshall semi-formal...not with a date, but with Mikey (aka DJ Sureflow), who djed the dance...i helped him load and unload his dj equipment. it was a cool dance, and it was on a boat. i had a lot of fun...and it sure beat staying at home to do homework. well, this week will be crazy, cuz its the last week before talent show. hopefuly tonight, i'm gonna do the work that's due this week and then focus on talent show stuff for the rest of the week. then after that start on finals preparation, since finals is in 2 weeks!!! we'll see how that goes. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =/

this is so true...
my best friend Chie [pronounced Chee-eh] emailed me this...and i totally related to much of what it says. it's long, but it really is good reading...
ON BEING TWENTY - SOMETHING
They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you. You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.
Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.
You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender! What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.
there are certain parts of it that relate to some of the events that have happened lately that kinda got me in a bit of trouble (ahem...my strong opinions)...i would elaborate more, but the people involved wouldnt appreciate it very much, and i would rather put everything about it behind me. but pretty much, that email summarized my life as it is. i suppose everybody goes through it...we'll see how things shape up. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =l

pet peeves about school
tuesdays and thursdays are my really long days at school...and i just wanna say that there's 1 thing that really irks me in class, especially on these days when the classes are an hour and 20 minutes long, that's those people who must ask a question that really isnt relevant to what we have to know for class. for example...in my psyc 101 class...there's this one girl in there who insists on asking a question in every single lecture...sometimes more than 1 question. now i'm not saying that asking questions just for clarification is bad, or asking these questions in smaller classes that are geared for these types of discussions, but there are 300+ students in this class, and this girl (and a few others) insists on asking questions about the subject that we DO NOT need to know for class. her questions usually begins with "what if..." and the rest of it is a scenerio that she prolly made up in her mind that has nothing to do with what we need to know for the class/midterm/final. and the professor is amazed that she has such "ingenuitive thinking" (and i quote that, cuz the professor did say that) that she answers the question as fully and as drawn out as she can, which may be stimulating to her and the psycho question asker, but boring to the other 300 students in the class. and this girl is the one who asks the questions when the professor asks "are there anymore questions before i let you guys go?" which keeps us longer than is necessary. this is not the first class that i've had with her...ive had at least 1 class w/ her every quarter for the past 2 years. grr...c'mon lady, we dont need to know this stuff that youre asking....thats what office hours are for! i seriously wanna take her outside and knock her upside the head with a wet noodle. grr...it's really annoying!!! if u dont believe me, just ask ronnel, he knows what i'm talking about since he's in my class. anybody have a wet noodle to spare? i will thank you kindly =þ stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages >=O

it's been awhile
school is keeping me in check...so i havent really been posting in awhile..i really need to focus more, cuz i took 2 midterms last week, and i got my grades back this week. let's just say they werent grades that i was expecting to get...and that isnt a good thing. nothing really has been going on in my life. i'm still confused about things, and how things should be running in my life. i need to figure out what's right for me, and if i should move on to better things, in all aspects of my life (especially one part). the people in my life are a big question to me right now. for some reason i feel like everybody is moving on and doing their own thing, while i'm left to fend for myself, which is sometimes a good thing...but i feel like im being left out of other people's plans...i want to still be in their lives, cuz my friends and the people i communicate with are big parts of my life...ack...enough of my random ramblings, i'm prolly confusing you in the same way that i'm confusing myself
well...other than that, things are good. despite my confusion, i am still hanging in there, and trying to have a good time while i'm at it. it's another 4 day weekend for me, i'm gonna go out and make the most of it before midterm season comes back for round 2 in a couple of weeks. anybody have plans for this weekend? call me up if u know the digits...if not, i'll hopefully find something that's mentally stimulating and entertaining.
jumpin music
slick dj's
smoke machines and...
laser rays...
look out weekends cuz...
here i come
because weekends were...
made for fun!
stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

future teacher
this quarter i'm taking TEP 138...a tutoring class in which i go to the Preuss School @ UCSD, and tutor and assist where needed. last week one of the teachers that i'm assigned to wasnt really able to be in class because she was running around doing science fair things, and she had a substitute teacher come in to watch the class. they would not listen to a word that he was saying to them, but when i stepped in and had them sit down to do their work...they actually listened to me! i mean, there were a few who still tried to wander around and stuff, but for the most part they listened. i was really nervous, but i tried to not let that get to me, and it worked. i know that there is more to teaching than just getting them to listen to me, but still, that made me happy to know that they listen to me.
well, this year is the year that i'm gonna have to start looking beyond UCSD, and into my career, since i'm graduating next year. i decided a couple of years ago that i want to go into teaching, so now it's time for me to look into teacher's credentialing programs. so far, i've already ruled out UCSD's teaching program, cuz theyre too damned picky with what they want from its undergrad applicants. i'm really interested in SDSU's teaching program or maybe even UCLA...but we'll see how things go. i'm already excited in what's to come from my teaching career...but i know it's gonna be a lot of hard work. dorkyjanet you better help me out with what i need to do to get in! stay tuned..we'll be back after these messages =)

my crazy dad
and so i was going to church today (during the oakland vs tennessee game)...and i told my dad that i was leaving and will catch the last part of the game when i got back. as i was leaving...he asked me why i have become so church oriented (he hasn't gone to church in years). i said that i just want to go. he then says "i think you're meeting someone over there" as if i were going out on a date. i just asked him what kind of a date would going to church be? he changed the subject, and said "it's good that you're going." i just left after that. as i walked to my car, i couldnt help but laugh at what my dad said. like i said...crazy dad. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

dave and buster's
yeah...u heard it here first, i am no longer a Dave and Buster's virgin. i went there last night with Gee, Alfred, Christian, and Mark Ejanda...my morse high 99er friends. i had called gee up at around 8pm, and she was just chillin w/ alfred in the parking lot at their work. we decided to meet up, and go to DnB's...so they told me to meet em at their work. so i drove over there and saw them just chillin there. they had been there for 2 hours by the time i got there. we just chilled there for awhile, just looking at my pictures, and talking. we were waiting for others to join us there. Nem showed up, and they decided to go inside so nem could relieve her bladder. meanwhile, alfred and i just chilled in the parking lot and talked. while we were waiting, gee's stalker came out, and got into his car and started staring at us (prolly wondering why we were chillin by gee's car). he was there for quite awhile, pretending to be on the cell phone, but really just staring us down. after awhile, he left and we continued our conversation...until gee's object of desire showed up to work(ask her for his name...cuz i dunno if i can share here). gee chickened out in talking to him...so she and nem came back out to the parking lot. by that time, christian had showed up. after deciding what our strategy for the night was...we finally headed off to Friday's in Mission Valley to eat before going to DnB. Mark n Chelle joined us there to eat after mark got off work. we laughed, ate, and were merry (especially gee...who was having textual intercourse w/ her dude the whole time). after eating...we said our goodbyes to nem (who was too young to go to DnB), and chelle (who was tired) and headed to DnB. i had never been there...but it was really fun there...almost like a chuck e. cheese's for adults. i pretty much played the ticket games, which were pretty cool. i saw a few other friends there enjoying themselves. all in all, i had a pretty good night. kept my mind off of things that were kinda bothering me. i shall return to DnB's...anybody wanna come? stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

something i noticed
i have talked very highly of the summer bridge program many times in my blogs and to people that i come across both on and off campus. i talk about the great relationships that i built while i was a student in the program, and the fun memories that we shared during that month in 1999 at argo hall in ucsd. even the summer bridge pride that i carried on throughout my first 2 years at ucsd were expressed because of the great experiences that i had. but something that i have noticed over the past couple of years is that i have grown distant from many of the my summer bridge friends that i made during that summer before my first year. and after thinking about it a little further, i begin to wonder whether or not i was fully included among the groups that formed from bridge. as recently as this past friday, i was at a birthday party for Christine Lucero (who didnt go to summer bridge), there were a lot of people there who went to my bridge. i noticed that many of the people who hung out together during and after bridge, were still hanging out with each other. they were dancing, and having a good time together. i even saw some people that i hung out with, hanging out with other people...or chillin with others who i was close with during the program. it got me thinking...why don't i hang out with them anymore? why arent the bonds that i formed with these people just 3 1/2 years ago, not as strong as they once were? why don't i talk to my suitemates anymore? why are other peoples bonds that were formed at the same time mine were, still there? i used to think that i would be close with all of these people because we had summer bridge love for each other...and the summer bridge pride was really flowing during my first couple of years. but now...i feel like i have drifted away from many of these people. i mean, there are a few who i still talk to, and still chill with (you know who u are), and we all still have summer bridge '99 pride and love...but i'm disappointed that my bonds with almost everybody else has weakened to passing familiarity. maybe it's cuz i was a commuter for all 4 years i've gone to ucsd, and the others had easy access to each other since they lived close to each other on campus...maybe it's cuz we just grew apart. i dunno what happened. if i could turn back time to my first year here at ucsd...i would have tried to maintain those bonds that i formed during bridge, and made myself more accessible to those who i had relationships with. time is running out at ucsd for the graduated high school class of 1999, since about half are graduating in june, and the rest of us have up to a year left here...i will still remain true to the spirit of SB '99...let's see how things turn out with them '99ers. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =/
