HELLO??

so here is a lil update on life for me since moving into my new AA residency. (= since it's just meesh and me now, things are a bit more quiet on the homefront. it's still a little bit strange for me to have a single, but i really like it. (= get to organize & arrange everything just the way i like it. i really miss our apartment dinners though. i seem to be making the same kinds of food day in and day out. gotta learn some more stuff!!

i drove by regents last night...sniff...sigh...our place has been taken over by BOYS....

grace? where are you?? are you in london??? why have you disappeared???? GRACE!!!!!!

since you have gotten rid of your comments (wise....), i just wanted to say that i am glad that you are blogging again meesh! nice list of resolutions! maybe i should make one too. ok, i already did...so maybe i should post them sometime. (= can't wait to see you...TOMORROW! with our super-duper early musta-been God's intervening-hand move-in day!!!!! yeah, that's right kids, we move in TO-MOR-ROW. har har har har. too bad i don't feel like driving. =P

HI GIRLS!

HAHA...grace just keeps testing everywhere. (=

ok, so maybe some of my dreams are kind of weird...but last night i met josh hartnett! i didn't even recognize him until someone pointed it out. i wonder what that means. (=

i'm finally dark! well, i'm actually still lighter than michelle, mel, and mike...but i AM darker. (=

miss you gals....

oops just testing.sorry

Kathy, you have some seriously STRANGE dreams yo! I thought I had weird dreams. ok, well, i do. but yours are so animated. although me saying "get off me asshole" in the middle of the night is pretty funny.

you guys should watch "gilmore girls". just enough drama. not toooooooo much.

i woke up crying in my sleep again last night! this time i was fighting with my sister. what is going on in my head?!?!?!

oooh, i really like the blog on the "test." good things to keep check on. (=
the couple thing...i think i've had my share of all of them...except the last one...but that's b/c i've haven't had i guy since i finally understood what it meant to hold onto him. yeah, give me a few years. (= my guy is waiting for me out in cali somewhere....

nice nice..surfing here we go! =D aww yeah..one more month...better workout my upper body...hehe..i'm sooo weak!

glad to hear you all had a good weekend. i'm exhausted...bleh...

whassaaapp! i thought this might light up some conversation. but go to the wilmot girls page and read that long thing... kathy, i think youd enjoy that.

i miss cali already! when i got back to ann arbor, it was thunderstorming...yuck. our apartment is damp and musky...not a fun place to be. sigh....

anyhoo, i gotta figure out a time to go out there again. (= gotta start saving up and planning now...hee hee hee

hey girls,
hows everyone? well, kathy i just saw you. and michelle ill see you tommorow. liz. ill see you in a month, right?! =) im just really happy that you guys have gotten (or will get) the chance to come out to california. im glad i could show you guys my hood and show you guys why i love it out here. hopefully you guys will have a blast! LIZ! lets go surfing when you come!! MICH... ill see you tommorow. KATHY. miss ya and your sillyness already.

hey chickas! =D como esta? oh, i'm so happy that you gals are having a great time in daygo! =) awww that's so awesome! wow, less than 2 hours huh?

how was in and out kat?? jamba juice?? do you recommend it??

tell us how the zoo is and la jolla??

waddup dudettes, mes and kathy in daygo (san diego) right now. well, we're in rancho bernado. we're at Hong's place. We got down here like 40 minutes ago. IT took us less than two hours to get down from LA. Sweet huh? Yeah. so. im tired. wes gonna go to the zoo tommorow, La Jolla and i'mma show her round USD and UCSD. And i'm gonna show her round my old hood! =) YAY. Kathy's gonna talk now: hi! (=

so i'm in cali right now! no prob for waking me up the other day lizzie. sorry if i sounded totally out of it. (= so far i've eaten at hurry curry, in and out, and souplantation. other than that, we've just been driving around a lot. we drove along the pacific coast highway or whatever it's called last night...and it was beautiful! today we went down to irvine. i really liked it down there...but UCI is SO different from ann arbor. i don't know if i could really adjust. (= i think tomorrow we're going to go hiking in santa barbara....

there something wrong with blogger. im watching the ally mcbeal when robert downey jr leaves. its sooo sad. why did he have to screw up and go to jail?!?!

umm how come your blogs didn't get published??

kat, where are you staying from jeff n lisa's wedding till you move in? when are you plannin' to move in btw? i think A8 is gonna move in the 30th, but we may have the core mtg the thursday right??ahh, can you help me figure things out? sorry for waking you up this morning...

gracie, i didnt' finish watchin' three to tango either..hahha..but it seemed cute..for awhile i wanted to be just like neve campbell, then jennifer love hewitt began to shine, so i wanted to be like her, but then she got big headed...so now, i wanna be like kristen kreuk. that's why she's on my blogsite. =D hehe she's half chinese-indonesian and half white. i think she's cute...if i were a guy, i would go for her..hhahaha..man, i sound like a lesbo...anyways..yeah..

overcommittedness is pretty stressful huh kat? yeah i'm stressed out too!..don't mean to complain..but i guess i'm just venting...i'm co-coordinating my salt-n-light fellowship back home for a few weeks while 2 of our coordinators are going on missions and i'm taking care of outreach...so its kinda a lot of stuff..and i am not on good terms with my interpersonal comm teacher..actually, the class is pretty retarded..complete waste of time..the only reason i go is to chill with the ppl i met in the class and not to fail.

grace, actually do you watch KTLA the WB channel in LA ?? there's this Asian anchor named Sharon Tay and she's really pretty..but heard she's not very nice..but yeah..i would definitely consider working in LA/cali..but the only thing holding me back is my church LIALC. i love my church soo much!!~sorry, just a lil' enthuzed..

guess what, i might get hooked up w/ 4 free tix to Hersey! woo-hooo! yeah, pray for me PLEASE cuz i'm gonna be the only single girl there..my interns are bringin their bfs..=( but, i need to remember who's my first love =D Jesus, you da man!!!!

HAHA

ok, here's a verse that's encouraging but random:
"Call to Me and I will answer you and I will tell you great and mighty things that you did not know." Jeremiah 33:3

be blessed~!!

OH NO! KATHY?! OVERCOMMITTED?! SHUT THE --! hahahaha. jk. don't worry kat youll figure it out.

yay! kathy is coming tommorow! woo hoo. i have a whole week of fun planned. well, sorta. its just up to you what you want to do. but oh yeah..youre blog didnt publish.

yeah i saw three to tango with matthew perry. itwas on HBO this one month...over and over and over and over again. but i never saw the movie from the beginning to the end. i managed to watch pieces of it and put it together. haha. yeahh! liz! i remember party of five. i used to watch it with my sister when we lived together. but then they cancelled the show.

liz, you sound like you are having so much fun at WB. im so happy for you. i think you should move out to California and work for one of the TV stations here! =) My brother's roomate is working at CBS. Sounds like he's having a good time. So you should come and work here! =) YAY!

yeah there really is bo-ba on every corner here. pretty darn scary. even in old town pasadena they have two of them!!!!

so where's michelle?!?!??! i have no idea whats going on in your crazy life so blog to us. or at least email us or something!

i think i may have seen that movie...no, just kidding..i'm thinking of that other chandler movie with selma hayek. anyhoo...i'm super psyched about cali! you know me...i finished packing this morning. (= well, about what's going on in my life (or maybe more like my head), i'll just have to email you liz. i'm sure grace and i will spend hours catching up once i get to cali...and meesh sees all the little neurotic things that happen in my life day in and day out. so i guess i'll just have to send you a novel about my summer so far lizzie.

so i was looking over all my plans for the fall, and i realized that i have overcommitted. ahhhhh! well...it's possible to do it all...but most certainly not by my own strength.

my thoughts are quite random tonight. (=

YES! here we go! we're rollin' now...=D

have you guys ever watched Three to Tango w/ Matthew Perry? hahha, it was on WB last nite and it was kinda funny. Everyone he knew thought he was gay cuz of a rumor, but he wasn't...so in order to keep his job, he had to pretend he was..neve campbell's soo cute in the movie too..where did she go? oh man, remember Party of FIVE?? hahah those were the days when FOX was doing well..now WB is betta! muahAHAHHA!! (sorry for my cockiness..just have my loyalties)

oh my gooshness, i just realized that i made my cursor to be Scott Wolf (its a pix of him as a cursor..from comet cursor). I love Scott Wolfe, he's soo adorable!! dimples n all! hahhahaah Kat, there's one of Tom Hanks and Grace there's one of Kobe. =) hahha

Take kathy to all the eating places that you guys talked about: in and out (which is owned by Christians), java juice? don't know what else...my co-worker who's originally from LA told me that there are bubble tea shops on every corner--that's CRAZY!!! ;D hope the trend comes to the east coast. =)

aww yeah, RegentGals i miss you soooo much!!! i really really wish i could teleport you guys here..sigh...wat's it called quantum somethign?? jerry, jay, paul, help me out..

oh, kat, let's put up more pix on here...can you tell me how you put it up?? i'im stupid when it comes to this stuff...

btw, you're not boring! Speak your mind siSta!!! =D

HAHAHA liz said "Crap".

So what should I take Kathy to do in CAli? all the rest of yall have been here before. what do you think?

so yeah nothing much going on here now that things have winded down. just job hunting like CRAYZEEEEEEE!

yay! to fellow blogs! (=

i've been kinda dry lately with blogging material. as you'll probably have seen...my page is mostly just what i do everyday. not exactly the mostt exciting stuff. (= but things have been "hectic" in a weird way around here. i think that b/c we're all so bored that we make up stuff to do and then we seem busy. but really we just can't stop hanging out with each other. haha! but all the boys are gone now. fong left this afternoon. *sniff* so it's just meesh, chris, and me. but i'm going to LA/SD in less than 48 hours...so what i am complaining about. (= and then right when i get back, the art fair will be here! and then i go to miami! and then hopefully somebody will offer me a job! yay! yeah....

so yeah, it really sucks not having a job. b/c you have so much time to do stuff...but then you just end up spending more money that you don't really have. meesh, chris and i were talking about that today. but with all the boys gone now, hopefully we won't be going out as much. i must admit that the past month has been really a lot of fun though. fong did nothing everyday...and larry would literally travel between novi and ann arbor like every other day. we all got to do a lot of hanging out and just chilling. but like i said earlier...the expenses added up. sigh....

i wish you girls were here for spring/summer just to see what it's like. i love it. i absolutely love it here. if i had a job, then it would be perfect. well...at least i'm doing research.

we didn't do much on the 4th. i blogged about it earlier on my own page. i've really enjoyed the bars/clubs here! although i've only been to 3.... anyhoo...i had A TON of fun the night we went out to rick's a few weeks back. (= (= (=

i've gots lots to share...but not on our page...i think i'd bore the rest of the world...or not. (=

grace, crap, i should've sent the gift to cali..oh darn it! i didn't know you were gonna be out there for THAT long! you having a good time?? i hoep you are! are you gonna be around SD when i get there? let me know aiite?? i'm soo excited!! too bad i still have like 8 weeks till i head out..sigh...

how was YOUR 4th of july?? you guys don't really have fire works or any of that over there riite?? joe said it wasn't that big of a deal last year when i called...but that was b4 911...

boston was cool, but i think i had a li'l too much testoterone around...sigh...wish you guys were there..it was a li'l too much, but its ok, it was fun over all! hehe i vow from now on that i'm never gonna put myself in an all-guy situation, it just isn't fun..you become the center of the jokes, and no one backs you up when you fiight for the goodness of the female-population! heheh

anywyas...what happened to the RG and TRU page? no one's bloggin' anymore...its gettin' kinda boring!

G, K, n M--spice it up k!??!!

Where is everyone?! I have rediscovered my love for Sportscenter! =) *SIGH...

When is everyone coming out to visit?!?! How was everyone's fourth of july?

hey girls!

kat, don't have AIM at work so that's why i'm never online...=(

i can't believe the apt flooded again! that's soo messed up! i'm soo sorry hon. =( they should really pay you guys for all the trouble of moving back n forth.

hope all is well otherwize. ;) have a great july 4th!!

if it helps, i hate computers as well. (=

so girls, our wonderful regents apartment began to flood again yesterday, so once again, our basement is cleared out. luckily this time, i caught the water begining to seep in before it got too bad. i don't think our carpet needs to be replaced this time. but it was annoying as heck to have to move out...once again. so not only is our apartment now hot and dirty, but it smells as well. how wonderful. i ended up sleeping across the street last night, which is actually a lot cool than our apartment...but of course 10 times dirtier. (=

whacha up to lizzie? i never see you online anymore )=

SOMEBODY PLEASE SHOOT ME! I am sooooooo annoyed right now. I am working on my brother's slideshow still and the computer keeps f*ckin up on me. I'm sorry to use profanity but I am so f*ckin pissed off right now! I hate computers. Who the heck invented them in the first place? They are the root of all evil! I just worked on so much and I lost all of it. Maybe I Should just stand in front of the guests and hold up the pictures. Or maybe I can just paste them to a frickin poster board! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! So looks like I'm not going surfing tommorow now because I have to work on this piece of crap. Damn it. I'm hiring professionals to do this when I get married. I never want to see the powerpoint application ever again after this. Someone owes me BIG TIME! (sorry I just had to vent to you guys. I cant exactly scream cause everyone's sleeping, nor can I call anyone because it's almost three in the morning. DAMN THIE SLIDESHOW!)_

"grace better make it good.....if u hate it, i'll have to be really disappointed in her."

got that gracie? that's a direct quote from jon. (=

14 more days till CALI!!!!

hey girls! how is everyone doing? i miss you guys a lot! just wanted to say "hello" from california! i wish you guys were here!

nice list there liz! =) i agree with you. i hope that work is going well and you rock your final. keep blogging cause i love reading it!

kathy-- so whats the dily-yo?! you comin or what?! =) keep me updated.

michelle- what have you been up to? what are you doing now that spring term is over? what happened to danny boy? stay outta trouble missy!

woah. its 12 already?1 im sleepy. ok nite nite. miss you all! lemme know if theres something you want from here that i can mail ya! (mm. sorry mich cant mail food. or a guy for that matter. lol)

hey gals, i miss you guys a lot! sigh...i was saying to my cousin how i wish my school friends and ny/nj friends would all be in one local...i guess i have heaven to look forward to. =) hehe

so, about the guy attributes thing..i have no other comments (for now, cuz its too soon) but here are 3 no no's..

NO PIMPs (my definition: guy w/ a lot of girl friends and hardly any guy friends)
NO PLAYERs (no flirts)
NO POSERs (no fakers, spiritually and in all other aspects..gotta keep it real)

where you all at? God bless!!

well, i guess liz blogged.... it's a good start. (= but better keep it up b/c otherwise this page will go from regentgals to chubbs & hugsy. (=

since i'm stuck at home waiting for the decision on my sister's graduation location, i might as well blog my attributes. i think my job has been made easier b/c chris, mike, and i brainstormed about this a few days ago. (=

5'9"...give or take an inch or so --> i'd say i'd like a tall 7 foot guy, but seeing that i'm not such a tall gal myself, i think that would make things difficult. (= i'd like my guy to be athletic. i can be quite a klutz...walking in the things left and right. no man better be less uncoordinated than me. must dress well but not better than me. but he must look comfortable and presentable. the kind of dresser who receives compliments occassionally on what he wears. must be clean-shaven...short hair. cute smile, great set of teeth. smiles a lot b/c he's happy. takes care of his body: regular visits to the dentist, works out, checkups, eats 3 balanced meals a day.

intelligent. not necessarily a genious, but someone who i can have intellectual conversations with. someone who reads the newspaper or newsmagazines. someone who reads novels...both classics and new bestsellers. someone who is clued into pop culture as well. not too keen on trendy though. someone who will go see movies with me on opening nights and watch the oscars with me every year. someone who knows their sports. i'm starting to learn a few things here and there, but i'm most definitely interested in learning a lot more about everything. so this guy better be able to clue me in. (=

musical interest is a must. i like a little bit of everything. but is important that my guy be willing to go to classical concerts and operas with me. having picnics while listening to the philly orchestra play live has been one of my favorite pasttimes growing up. interest in art as well. architecture...photography...just a guy who is interested in learning more about anything. someone who can keep up with me and at the same time be patient with me. (= a well-rounded cultured guy.

sweet...cheezy in his own way...but if the guy gets more cheezy than me i will be sick. someone who likes to make new memories...and not always reliving the old. likes dinner and a movie. i'm not very big on gifts unless it is homemade or something really rare and special. i'd rather a guy just spend his time with me or take me out to do something. someone who is emotionally stable. somebody who likes to do their own thing and yet really loves the time we spend together. somebody who loves kids. somebody who is tight with his parents. someone who will place their family above their friends and their work. someone who is wise with their money: not stingy...and yet very responsible in budgeting. someone who appreciates fine dining once in a while. someone who likes taking vacations.

someone who appreciates my giddiness and spouts of hyperness. (= i've got a lot of quirks...somebody's gonna have to deal with them.

he must be respectable. the kind of guy that all the other guys look at and say...now that's a guy that i admire. he can't be too sensitive, but he must be caring. he should have a good sense of how everybody is doing. tight with his guys. treats all ppl with respect. will not lose his temper easily. just a very likeable guy...but not b/c he's a flirt. flirty guys make me weary. simply likeable b/c he's THAT GOOD of a guy.

a strong and growing Christian. serves the church in some sort of way b/c of his love for God's kingdom. the guy could have everything else listed above and that would make him quite a guy. but this last thing would most definitely be the clincher. (=

What's up girls?? miss you lotts! sorry this is boring, but God bless.
grace, nice list of qualities =) God bless your search, or his search for you ;0D..but continue to enjoy your singleness aiite? love ya!

all right. so kathy and i decided that in order for us to stimulate some coversation I would talk about what "attributes" i wanted in a guy.

this is so hard. where do i start? this list will be kinda brief.

ok, he has to be tall. im thinking AT LEAST 5'10". and I will not go any shorter. ideally about 6'1" to 6'4". He has to be toned. he doesnt have to be huge, but at least a little lean. not skinny though. nice hair. i like them with short hair. nice eyes. i dont care if what ethnicity he is. he has to be ATHLETIC. i mean athletic. and tan. i dont really care how he dresses. just not too pretty boy looking. i like a manly man. lol! not HOT, but "cute" looking. doesnt take as long as me to get ready in the morning. doesnt look at himself in the mirror more than i look at myself. nice abs and arms!!!!

ok as far as personality. he has to have common sense. he doesnt have to be book smart, but has to have common sense so i dont have to explain everything to him. he has to be funny. outgoing. GOOFY. he cant talk too much, but enough to stimulate conversation. since im not much of one to start conversations, he has to do that. he has to get along with my friends and family. and he has to have friends of his own that he can spend time with. he can't be too overprotective and has to give me my space. he has to be NICE. like when people meet him they go "hey, he's a nice guy". has to treat his mom well. has to know how to cook some good food. is not self centered. is generous. goal oriented. focused.

has to be interested in a lot of different things. has to be willing to try new things and make me try diffenet things. will take my camping or fishing. has to be close to his family. likes sports. has to be able to make up his mind quickly but reasonably. is humble. but has enough confidence that i dont have to baby him. lets me do my own thing. likes to travel. doesnt chew with his mouth open. will offer me that last piece of food. (it shows he cares). if he's not a christian, he has to be INTERESTED and open to it. someone who respects me as a woman and as an equal. someone i can respect. surfs. snowboards.

thats it for now. haha.

i hope this works. otherwise this will just become kathy and mine's blog page! =) so blog! we miss you guys!

YES! thank you SO much for the cookies! (=
before you leave...send me the receipts (=

did you all get the "goods" yet? =)

btw.... LAKERS! WOO HOO!!!!

I'm here! but not for long! miss you all!

grace! where are you?! )=

what "guy" list? are you talking about a list of single guys who are available, or a list of attributes that we want in a guy? ;) haha

favorite TV commercials (currently...in no particular order)
1) the cheezy bread commerical with the little girl saying "you're free cheezy bread, you're free!"
2) the yahoo commerical with the talking dolphin
3) the blockbuster commercials with the guinea pig and the rabbit
4) the mac commerical where it imitates the guy through the window
5) the bk commercial with the cartoons singing and dancing

b/c we are single, i think it is appropriate to post our guy "lists." this is in an effort to help each other find guys. (= this is also in an effort to figure out what we want. (=

i think its howie who's sending the cards then.

sup girls, oh shoot, i just blogged about the wrong stuff on the wrong page..oops..does it matter? hope not..

you know...i don't think i really check out guys all that much. or maybe there's just freakin nobody who catches my attention, so just remain in my state of oblivion. quite possible when i think about it now....

yeah gracie...stick to the 40 days 40 nights josh hartnett high five business. you wouldn't want to give me the wrong idea by reciprocating my romantic overtures...hahaha!

i must admit that there are still good guys out there that aren't taken or gay...it's just a matter of God's timing. (=

GRACIE!!!!! HOT BOY is in DC!!!!! hunt him down!! we call him hot jon...he hangs out with sketchy joe (if that helps) :) just yell hot jon when you're walking down the street. he's so into himself...he'll probably answer! he's a 6'3, built, hayden christensen...a lil more "smoldering" (haha...nice word kat).
so yeah...

GO LAKERS!!

haha sad...that's all i have to blog for my last few weeks...exciting life huh?

ohh....one more thing...leslie was here this weekend!!! so much fun!! so sad she's gone...sniff sniff :(

so why do boys suck because they are checking out girls? dont you check out guys? or is it more of they're caught salivating at a girl?
haha. yeah i tend to be in my own little world when the tv is on. pisses my mom off. esp when my dad, my brother and i are sitting there watching the laker game. she tries to get into the game i think cause were all yelling our heads off. but i think shes learned to leave us alone. HAHA.

ill hold you kathy. hahaha. um. jk. =) ill give you a high five. but i must agree they can be cute. i love it when they use the word "cute".

ill tell you why boys suck:
1. ok maybe i wont. too much to say. but they have their moments. as im sure girls do too.
but lemme just tell you. all the good ones are taken or gay.

ok...here goes...

why boys suck:
1) they ALWAYS check out girls...24/7
2) they tend to be absorbed in their own little world...esp when the tv is on
3) very few are actually considerate by nature

hmmm...i'm sure there's more...but i kinda like all my guy friends.... so it's kinda hard to make up stuff about others.

why boys don't suck:
1) sometimes all you need is someone to hold you...nobody better than a boyfriend (=
2) if you catch them at just right moment, they can be awfully cute in their ways
3) when that guy walks into your life, everything just seems to be shade brighter

yeah...i thought there would be more here too....
well, i'm sure i'd have a lot more to say whence the day of a new relationship comes around (=

ok an interesting topic..what do you girls like to talk about?!?!?! hmmmm... boys apparently. especially since we are all now the lovely single regent gals! =) michelle your pre-season predicition was waay off base! haha.

lets see.. ill throw out several topics and you guys can blog about whatever.

1. your dream wedding (since its wedding season)
2. your favorite TV commercial
3. how much you guys miss me (cause i miss you guys)
4. your predictions for the penant race. JK.
5. josh hartnett (hes a favorite in our apt)
6. how much boys suck, or dont
7. come up with your own list of things to blog about! =)

oh yeah. im going to D.C. tommorow! then i'm going to the coast. YAY!

lizzie, did you send me the cwebb postcard?!

we need an interesting topic to discuss...since hot boy is now forever gone. gracie i give you the honors since you are the most bored out of all of us (=

ok. im so confused. who is the hot boy? arod? yeah i knew that already. haha jk.

liz!!!! i was gonna call you and tell you but i was afraid you were asleep. but guess who was on Jay Leno tonight? your boy--toy mike! hahaha. ive figured out who he kinda reminds me of. HAYDEN EPSTEIN!!!! ooh its so scary. except hayden talks a hell of a lot more. and hayden can get cross eyed. and hayden has a lot of hair. haha. but they even kinda talk alike. mike bibby is like a little boy. he didnt talk very much durng the interview. he was on with CWEBB and webber did all the talking. it was pretty cute the both of them together. i must say that if the lakers didnt win, i for sure wanted to kings to. but awe, too bad, the lakers won and they are winnig the series 2-0!!

liz and mike bibby
michelle and robert horry (hes married by the way)

lizzie, you don't need beauty sleep...you are beautiful already. (= hahaha...now i officially hit on all you guys! woohoo!
but seriously, i think about you guys all the time...and how much i miss you all...sniff...sigh....

why would you get into trouble for blogging?! i'm sure they'd understand (= just tell them that if you don't blog, then gracie might die of boredom.... (=

oh yeah, forgot to mention: my pix looks really bad..i look like i'm 16 again! =p

ok ok, i decided to blog, but its gonna be short cuz i don't wanna get caught. HOWIE, stop spreading rumors! haha wow, GRACE and KAT you guys DO blog a lot...and i didn't go into scores, i just walked down a street and there it was..it looked like a really fancy restaurant from the outside, even had red carpet and one of those menus in a glass wall cabinet..i was gonna look at the menu, but the bouncers in tuxes looked at me funny. =O so, i quickly walked away. MICH, what boy now? is he hott? hahaha wanna hook me up?? hahah, JUST KIDDING EVERYONE!!! just kidding. ok ok, so any other news updates?? GRACE read my comment on your last blog below. what happened to PAUL & LARRY?? its soo weird not to be chattin' w/ you online anymore..i've truly become a loser...i go to sleep at like 9pm and wake up at 645am. yeah, i NEED beauty sleep.. ok must go before i get busted..miss you guys a lot..acutually i stayed up thinking about and praying for you all. wonder if you guys think about me too..*sigh

hey girls!
so um. nobody really blogs on this anymore. =( sniff sniff. what has everyone been up to? liz is a working woman now. kathy and michelle are studying. and i am doing didly! =) woo hoo. sooooo anyways, guess what color my bridesmaid dress is. heh heh. its like a pewter color. strange huh? im not sure what kind of flowers we're holding but they're white. we have to get our haid done, a manicure AND a pedicure. the ceremony is at this reallly nice hotel in hollywood. i think the ceremony is on the roof? or maybe thats the reception. we're having a bbq on 4th of july and then the ceremony is on the 5th. there are SIX bridesmaids/groomsmen! crazy huh? like 30 of my aunts, uncles and cousins (thats like 1/2 of them) from my mom's side are coming.

ooh guess what?! my dad might be getting a scanner! cool huh? so then i can scan pictures in! yay. except of course i have no idea how to put them on a webpage. DRR!

hey liz! i heard you passed by "scores" the other day! HAHA howie told me all about it! when are you going to california?! are you?!

COME ON PEOPLE!!! i'm bored down here! BLOG!!!!

WOO-HOO!!!

I LOVE THE LAKERS!!!!!!

my first memory is from when i was 4. we were living in the apts behind the mall. my mom took me out to play at the playground. i remember the sun setting that night, and the sky was red and orange-y. when we went inside, i had a bubble bath, and i remember bubbles getting into my eyes. hahaha! too bad i still get shampoo into my eyes...on occassion.... hee hee hee...

IM SO BORED!!!

ah-DORK-hem (in response to kat)

haha the very first event?
i dunno i just remember being in my crib. i was probably like a year old? but anyway, i just remember my mom taking a picture of me. and then something happened, like my mom yelled out into the ahllway and then david (kai) came into my room. i remember thinking to myself, "what is he doing here?". i was intrigued and kinda irritated. but then my mom took a picture of kai standing by my crib. yeah. crazy huh?! it's funny, that sweatshirt he was wearing became mine.

so i think i had part 2 to my dream last night. well, it was the same situation. except this time when i talked to my dad, i felt like i had to reason with him, although he was being stubborn. it was like pulling teeth. i don't even really know exactly what that phrase translates to, but i guess it's like watching grass grow.... again, like my first dream, it was about summer plans, and how i didn't have any. i was pretty stressed out in my dream the first time...and also the second time. so, it's kinda a true about my real life situation. i don't have set plans right now, and i am a little concerned. i know that my dad is concerned too (simply b/c he doesn't want me to waste 2 months doing nothing productive)...and he HAS been nagging, but by no means has he been angry at all. i think thas why i was so upset in my dream the first time.

so i kinda thought things through today about this dream b/c i was bored at work, and i had finished all my homework already. and i realized what all of this may be about. so i guess the scene with my dad makes sense b/c it has been on my mind. but i think the emotions behind the dream are definitely coming elsewhere. there's definitely been this looming fear recently about getting into a relationship...and it being utterly disasterous. aiya...why must i feel like so much is at stake? oh well, i guess there's no point in getting so worked up about it until someone is actually in the picture. (=

les start a thread of blogs! first topic of convo: what's the very first event in your life you can remember. (=

i love you girls. you girls are the wind beneath my wings...hee hee hee (and grace mutters DORK)

hey kat....

CRYING:
"Weeping in dreams is not at all unusual. This is often because of the emotional power carried by the images and persons you are encountering. Weeping in the dream is generayll separate from actual physical tears forming. It is more often that weepy feeling you get in your heart when a particularly moving scene is playing out before you. The best advice is always to go with the dream. Emotional releases and relevations can have a very cleaning effect on the phsyche and should be embraced whenever possible. However, you shoul try to determine the TRIGGER EVENT that cause the emotion.

Did someone else make you cry directly?

Were you crying for a particular reason, or was it a general emotional release?

Did the tears amke you feel ultimately better or worse?"

WHEW!

as you can see i had some fun tonight (=
hope you like the changes girls!!

grace, look this one up -->

i woke up crying the other night because i was hysterical in my dream. i had gotten into this awful argument with my dad. first of all, this never happens...and second of all, he was being ridiculously unreasonable. he wouldn't listen to me at all. i think thas why i got so frustrated in my dream. it was pretty upsetting.

ok, added links to our individual pages on here and and the quote board (=

oh...i had a cleansing day today..."the dumb bastard" is outta my life. i took the final step today...

I ERASED HIM FROM MY CELL PHONE!!!

that's kinda sad though...it's too easy to erase someone from my life...all i gotta do is take him off my AIM list and boot him from the phone.

to get a hold of him now is just way too much work for my lazy butt to do! :)

blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

my life is at a boring standstill...nothing to blog

blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

BUT...i blogged!! :)

lizzie and i watched serendipity this weekend at caroline's! i liked it...hee hee

mel is sleeping over tonight! yay!

I LOVE THE LAKERS!

wow i am so impressed that you guys are blogging so much! =) im so happy. it keeps me entertained.

right now i am watching "Serendipity". i have a feeling its going to make me feel very lonely at the end. haha.

liz...haha. you pulled a "fong". poor fong is gonna get abused by that. oh which "sox" are you referring to for your next game? Red or White? Cause RED is sooo much more AWESOME! =) i love the red sox. i wish there was a baseball team here so i could go watch. actually there is. there's a "hickory crawdads" minor league team. they are a part of either the pirates or the orioles. i forget. but yeah. derek jeter is LAAAAME! ALEX RODRIGUEZ is waaay more awesome. he is all that and a bag of chips and a two liter of coke and some tortilla chips with some jack's special.

oh my gosh! you know in Serendipity when they GO to serendipity's? well, they're sitting where i sat with my friends when i went! haha.

someone come online and chat with me! =)

dang liz, you really were up early (=

i've got 10 minutes until work...woohoo! a funfilled 3 hours of doing nothing and getting paid!

so i'm a bit discombobulated. i need to pay off my bills, but i can't find the rest of my checks! ack! i dunno where they could be. if i were still using the desk upstairs, i'd know (blue, 3, back...hahaha!)...but since the move...i'm just all confused. (=

TOTALLY know how you feel about God answering prayers lizzie. (= sigh (= He always gives us so much more than we expect, need, and deserve. how fortunate, we are! (yoda style...hee hee)

it's a beautiful day in ann arbor for once! can't wait to enjoy it when i'm done with work!

PRAISE GOD for this awesome day!

i wonder what else i do in my sleep. maybe i should tape myself sometime. LOL!

hi..guess what, i pulled a Fong..i'm scheduled to get my wisdom teeth pulled next thursday, not today..so, yeah, i'm up at 7 in the morning for no apparent reason other than i woke up due to anxiety i suppose...i guess i put this on myself since i should've made an apptmnt myself rather than have my mom make it.

so in this "dry and barren land" i have learned that "it is well with my soul." haha i'm kinda delirious rihgt now since i have a splitting headache and can't fall asleep. Sarah McLaughlin's words "i'm soo tired, but i can't sleep" best express my state right now.

yeah, so the Yankees are a huge disappointment, they got slaughtered by the blue jays who Ivan says "sucks"...guess what the score was 8-3...Jeter is a let down, he's not the man i thought he was, or who everyone hyped up to be. So this is twice that I have gone to a Yankees game and they have lost to Canadians! I'm going to give them one more chance: July 19th--Yanks v. Sox, when i will be sitting in the bleachers section 41. THree strikes, and the Yankees will officially lose my respect.

anyways...Praise God for answering prayers, even when it hurts to have them answered. "holiness is what i need," "take my heart," "walk by faith"..i was reading that sometimes we're like the 5 loaves of break and 2 fishthat Jesus used to feed the 5 thousand, he needs to break us in order to feed others with our pieces. (Matthew 14) btw, thank you to all those who have been praying for me during this heart-wrenching time. You maynot understand/see how they carry out, but i assure you, they help...

ok, i will probably have to read this at a more "godly" time of the day...please keep praying for me as i will pray for you...your sis' in Christ, liz

LAUGHTER --
"In deams, we may feel emotions and responses to them much as we do in waking life. This is especially true about very funny and very say events. Dream laughter may often come from a deeper level than waking laughiter in that our emotional expressions are often more outward and unrestrained in a dream.

The interesting part is that dream laughter may also be very inappropriate. Since we often dream of ourselves as archetypal caricatures, we may laugh with a diabolical twist; whereas in waking, ANGER would be the more expected response. This sort of unchecked laughter can usually be an expression of the ID.

If you experienced laughter in a dream, did others laugh with you?

Did you laugh at something inappropraite? Did you feel ashamed or somehow empowered by laughing at such?"

-- Lohff, D. (2000). The Running Press Cyclopedia: Dreams. Running Press Book Publishers, Philadelphia (272-273).

i know right? what's up with meesh not blogging? she's the one who started all this! haha!

dude! i laughed in my sleep the other night...well, according to larry! larry was in my dream that night....LOL! i'd share...but blogs are public...so i dunno if he'd appreciate it....hahaha! you'd love it too...if only you knew! well, thas the only news about dreams i have for you...maybe you can look up laughing in your book. hahaha!

i wonder if chris and cindy will blog?

ack! i can't believe you're never coming back gracie.

howie - why you gotta be so far away??????

hi everyone!
liz! wow i am so impressed with your blog! i am so happy you blogged too! anyways, michelle where have you been?!?! i hope you are studying hard =)
life in hickory is quite dull. i sleep forever all day and then i wake up and eat. and then run some errands and walk/run shong. sad huh?
yesterday kai moved to charlotte. im so sad. i am so lonely. i dont know anyone in hickory except my parents and my dog. so i am trying to amuse myself any way i can.

ok im gonna go read my better homes and gardens now, yes, i am that bored! =) call me if you're bored!

CHUNKYMONKEY713: i yearn for the day when i can see you all again

CHUNKYMONKEY713: i am gossip king
Ching129: yeah you are! =)
Ching129: king howie...
Ching129: of gossipland
Ching129: and caroline is your queen
Ching129: lol
CHUNKYMONKEY713: thats my girl

hey everyone!

so, what's new with me?? well, the last 2 weeks have been very interesting...even though i'm still going through a lot, i've been able to spend a lot of good times with the people who are around me. I'm really thankful that God's blessed me with all my friends, its been so cool to be able to chill with everyone. =) For instance, Caroline treated us to People's and People's Restuarant in Flushing today. It was delicious!! =D i'm really glad i got to meet a lot more people this year and develop my friendships as well.

Looking back on my junior year, i'm really happy taht i was blessed w/ the opportunity to live with the regentgals! Even though we may have had our problems with stuff, looking back, its been such an awesome time...i've really learned a lot from you guys and its made me into a better person (well, i hope at least ;) ...Kat's here in ny visiting and its been fun chilling w/ you..glad that you can stay a day longer eventhough you have to go thru all the complications...Mich, i miss you a lot..wonder what's going on with you..hope everything's ok.. you must be really busy with school huh?? well, it'll pay off since you only have to take 9 credits next term. =) hope you get to come to ny sometime soon. i was looking forward to seeing you this weekend..*sigh* =( Grace, i miss you a lot too! i keep telling youthat, so you're probably sickof hearingthat..but i wish you were here in ny..we need to go dancing and to eat some xiao-long-bao when you come back ok? btw, guesswhat..i turned on some hiphop music (HOT97) and was dancing in my room, wish you were there..haha..wait a sec,i just saw your new blog..i can't believe you put that up, hahaha! =D..

man, there were some great quotes yesterday whenwe went to Peter Lugers' but i forgot them..argg..i'm gonna start carrying around a pencil & pad to write down these quotes.

random:so, isn't Yoda so cute?? ithink he's so awesome! wish he was real though...ALFRED, can you please do the yoda impersonation for me?? if anyone else knowshow to do it, please tell me. =) i love how he talks!

ok, i should start my own page huh? i dont' think anyone would read about me..so that's why i'mgonna just stick to this one..hope u girls don't mind..if you want me to theni will..but if you don't mind, i'll just share w/ you all my thoughts..

mike lin asked me a good question: why aren't there any asian shows on tv? i really hope that working at WB, i can get some answers for that. Wouldn't it be cool if we had a show about us?? i think it would be very appealing to the masses. =) oh, so this goes to my deepthoughts..i was wondering if you all could pray for me cuz i'm kinda nervous about working at WB11 cuz i really want to witness, but i don't know how to go about it..i want to really make an impact, even though i'm just an intern... my goal is to make somekind of difference in the world, and it would be cool if God could use me in the media-world. i don't know how that would work out, but he's got me this far, who know's where he'll take me, right?? =D

just listening to a cd, and this chorus touched me:
"o give us clean hands, give us purehearts,
let us not lift our hands to another,
o give us clean hands, give us purehearts,
let us not lift our souls to another
o God let us be, a generation that seeks,
that seeks your face O God of Jacob"

I really think God will use our generation to reach out to those who have never heard the Gospel before. I mean just look at ccf, there are like 10 people going on missions this summer. My home church, LIALC, is also sending 2 groups out from college/career & youth ministries. I'm excited to see waht God has instore for us. =D (please use us Lord =)

its really good to be back, yesterday after church, i got to talk to Danielle & Christine from church, and they really helped me look at the big picture. So, thanks so much Danielle & Christine for all your advice and enccouragment, i'm glad i can be back and i hope this summer will be an awesome time for us to get to know each other more. =)

man, i wrote a lot..well, i guess that makes up for not writing the whole semester..
liz

Ching129: go drop off dem kids!
mantou13: haha yup, my 10 kids

i'm tired!

BUT I BLOGGED!!!

BLOG BLOG BLOG BLOG BLOG BLOG BLOG

ok i had to blog TODAY here b/c i think it's definitely a new record. not only did LIZ blog, but 3 out of the 4 regentgals blogged in one day! God only knows when that will happen again! i miss you girls SO much. meesh and i are doing the same old same old stuff to amuse ourselves. but it's never quite the same without you 2 laughing at us. hahahaha! ok, i get to see liz in 2 days! woohoo! i get to see grace...i dunno.... there was actually a $145 ticket to charlotte for the weekend, but i already gave my time to lizzie. but the day will come soon gracie!

ok, when i actually have time, i WILL spiff up this page a bit. gotta learn all that html junk first. and dun worry grace...i'll teach you all the cool stuff eventually =P

much love from the state of wacky weather!

Hi! yes, i'm finally blogging. hopefully i'll remember my username and psswrd now. =) hehe. Yeah, so being home in ny is nice, but its definitely not the same as AA. As much as i love it here, i wish my UM friends were here too. =( But, i guess i have to learn to be content wherever i am cuz this is how life goes huh?..so yeah, i went to the city today and met up with jen lu and dust. we walked to get my drug screening, then we went to the NBA store. haha, that was lots of fun. There was this shooting contest to win an Xbox and dust made it to the 2nd round (jen was really close in making it too) but..yeah.. haha. then we went to nyu to meet up with andy yeh and his girl Christine. THen we had dinner with Susan, Jeff, and Alice at Da-Wang in Chinatown. Ofcourse bubbletea was for dessert. mmm =p

yeah, so my life has been pretty crazy..adjusting to a lot of things, but God's pulling me through. A shot-out to all those who have been praying for me and have been there to support me during this rough time. i miss and love you all. =) you know my cell #, call me up k?

hello everyone! i am back in NC. no one ever blogs. how sad. im bored down here, entertain me!! please!!!

i have a craving for some FRIED CHICKEN! some POPEYEs would be DElicious right about now..funk soul brother check it out now. hahaha

I LOVE THE LAKERS!

it's strange how grace and lizzie are gone. i definitely feel like i'm living in a different dimension. (= i miss you 2! i hope that you guys are having fun in ny!

itsangeh0616: dang heh.. make liz blog
itsangeh0616: tape her to the desk
Ching129: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
itsangeh0616: i always wonder what is in liz's mind
itsangeh0616: she needs to blog

I THINK LIZ NEEDS TO BLOG!!!!!

BLOG BLOG BLOG
why?

b/c grace said so
so what's up gals!
gals rule!
regentgals, that is (=

lefter, righter, inner, outter? my gosh i'm gonna miss you grace

you know what? its raining outside. i think its funny how it started raining when i was coming back from the Ugli at 4 in the morning. what the heck is up with that? thunder scares me.

i also think its funny how some things can get skewed. last night a bunch of us went to studio 4. not exactly my favorite place to be, but hey, some sort of partying had to be done. heh heh. a lot of people were gone last night. haha.

doo be doo bee doo. its 5 why am i not in bed. i have to get to start studying again soon! wahhh! finals bite.

so im thinking.. why is it so hard to be nice to someone? i want to be nice, cause dammit, thats who i am. but im always afraid that someone's gonna turn around and think something else. please, dont flatter yourselves. i really just dont want to have beef with people, cause its not worth the time or energy. some people, on the other hand, need to treat other people better. why do guys and girls always have to play some sort of game. just be honest dammit! and dont be hooking up or going out (whatever) with someone if you dont respect them. some people shouldnt be treated that way! no one should be treated that way!

i want to thank peter for saying what he did last night. makes me feel a lot better. he told me that one little thing isnt going to make me a good person, cause i already am. i hope so! =)

anyway, good luck everyone on your finals, papers and projects!

by the way.. am i two faced?

the boys across the street are SO MEAN! (=

hahah yeah it was a crazy night.
i just wanted to say "HELL YEAH" to kathy's Ray Allen comment. wooie! not to mention my love for eddie jones and kobe. oh and of course A-ROD.
anyways, im so jealous. paul just got the curious george 60th anniversary book! it has all the curious george books in it! i love curious george! he's so cute. ahh brings me back to my childhood.

all i can say is that some pretty funny things were stated last night:

everything from being tolerant versus being a midget
to videos of a certain genre...and defining them...
to "flirty" talk
to east versus midwest versus west
to white versus asian
to the LISTS of perfect spouses
not to mention closet sluts...

and of course there's always paul's ideal: blonde and blue-eyed but chinese, sorority girl hair, british accent with a slightly raspy voice...GL there...

and contrary to popular belief, kat DOES NOT have a thing for 7'3" 300-some pound basketball players from LA....
she does have a thing for ray allen though (= (= (=
but that doesn't matter b/c she's gonna marry taiwanese anyway...according to her little deal with God...heh heh heh

man, its amazing how the simple things in life can make you smile. like mcdonalds breakfast and watching cartoons. i think the best cartoons are hands down tom and jerry and looney tunes. so fun! =)

soemtimes i wish i could start over my college career here again. i think it would do so many things different. academically and socially. sometimes you sit there and wonder, but i guess youre only playing the "what if" game. so its pointless right? but i miss seeing my kines friends. i never see them anymore. how sad. i just have to go to that dopey sport ethics class where i learn nothing. i should have taken more SMC classes this semester. woulda been more interesting than AIDS or Asian American Psychology. or career exlorations for that matter. hahaha.

i think its funny how some people jsut assume things and associate you with someone. little do they know. seesh.

hahaha. my friend and i were busting on how ugly we thought a certain football player is (hayden). there really is no denying it. i love how she just tells it to his face too!

i really should eat some lunch but i dont want to. im not hungry. what should i eat?

HAHAHA I LOVE CARTOONS!

oh yeah i forgot to mention the bet that the regentgals had at our dinner. whoever gets married first has to take the rest of us out to a reallly nice dinner. but i wont mention what else we did at that moment. HAHAHA! (pinkies!)

ok im blabbing. must get ready for class now!! bye!

Liz has entered the land of no return. (=
don't stress too much lizzie, it's not worth it!

it's been an entertaining evening. good laughs with graice...i had another quotable to put on the wall. (=

"i don't think she's that pretty"
"the top of her face is"

man, we're harsh... (=

i'm feeling a whole lot better...tanks fo ashking
i'm sleeeepee now...time for beddy by!

Sup regent gals
This is my first blog. Actually Sam convinced me to get in on this cool new phenom. Looks like you guys are totally into this. I am not too sure how much time i have to blog, but i will mos def (sam's lil bro says that) check in once in a while. I am totally stressed out like crazy - working on these ridiculous papers, but i really wanted to try this out and rather than write my paper, i would rather write a blog!

Man, i can't wait till the end of the semester, i am so drained of work. Why can't school just be regent gals chillin everyday! That would be awesome...

Has anyone noticed the regent apartment smell? Sam comes over and says he leaves with a regent apartment smell. What does the regent apartment smell like? Hmm...
OK, gotta go back to writing this dumb paper...ugh

YAY! somebody else blogged other than me! i guess you guys were right about your prediction...i guess it just took me a little longer than anticipated to get addicted. (=

so yea! regentgals dinner was fun last night. i think it was the best i looked after dinner...haha...jk jk. at least it was a "healthy glow"...and not tomato red like that time at charlie's...... (= so yea, aren't you guys glad i asked those thought-provoking questions? gets you thinking huh? managed to make grace blog a long one. har har.

i'm really bored right now. literally, i'm just waiting for time to pass.

so i totally agree with what grace was saying about bashing ppl. it really is a waste of time. i know how hard it is no to do it though. but i guess when you really thinking about it, it truly is wasted energy. i mean, think of all the productive things you could be doing with your life instead! besides...when you bash, it only makes the bitterness that much stronger...and that much harder to resolve. so good for you gracie. you're right...it's such a waste of time.

i think the person A and person B thing is different in every situation. sometimes the ppl in it know better, but sometimes the outside friends do. i think it's a pretty tough call. just pray! hee hee (=

i was actually also thinking about the changing when you like someone phenomenon. i guess i started thinking about it when meesh pointed out last week that she's like a chameleon. i know for a fact that i've been like that to a certain degree in every relationship i've been in. it's not really the guy's fault that i was like that, but i think that certain guys i dated didn't really help the situation either. i think that's why i've always been so confused in relationships. b/c i really didn't know who i was or what i liked. so some days i was ok with just being whoever i thought the guy wanted me to be, but other days it would just really make me mad. but then sometimes i go to the other extreme (on rare...but notable...occasions), where i'm so gung ho about certain things that i'm so unwilling to change. pretty messed up huh?

but it's different now. thank God! when i think about it, i do feel really bad about the ways in which i've treated a lot of guys. i have no shame in admitting that i've had a pretty messed up concept of what a relationship should be like. but i guess that's part of life, and i'm just so thankful for how God's changed me. i'm a living testimony to the power of God! woohoo! ok, that was cheesy...but it's tru... (=

you know girls, thinking about the chase thing...i think it's possible to always have a chase. really! i was thinking about it before i fell asleep last night. you just have to pace yourself. it's feasible. can't explain it right now...but i had this whole theory in the works last night. (=

dude, i blog way too much way too fast. "so much to say!"

ok, so its about 4, saturday night. well, 3 if you dont count daylight savings time. YAY! we get an extra hour of sunlight. i love the sun.

basically ive been doing some thinking today. or well a lot of random thoughts popped into my head. maybe its just all the leftover hash bash air. but basically, i realized that I seem to b*Tch a lot about a certain person. and thats not good. first of all, its not nice. second, its a waste of my time. third, its in the past. and fourth, i really shouldnt stoop to that level. we all know what sort of person that PERSON is. and most people i talked to came to that conclusion on their own! so really, do i need to reinforce that idea? no! so from now on, that PERSON bashing will have to be kept to a mininum. i know in my heart that im worth more than that.

ok, say, now that someone is going out with someone, who you know isnt right for that person. person A is better than person B. but its not your place to say anything. what do you do? NOT do anything and just let person A get screwed over? or do you do intervene? thats not my style really. but i think people close to person A should say something!!!!

i also noticed that when people are interested in someone they start to get really into what the other person is into. its kinda cool, cause i guess its a way to expand your horizons. i think thats what happened to me. but... now i just have to get out there and do it. i think people just have to be careful though and not to change themselves completely or get too involved in trying to impress or please the other person that they forget who they are! its like Oprah's "remembering your spirit" or something like that.

and is it really all about the chase? what about after the chase? is there aynthing after the chase that is equally as fun? us regentgals were having this discussion today and i think that its hard to say that you wanna know someone for a certain amount of time before you date them. i mean ideally, it would be nice. but part of dating is getting to know the person! just know what youre getting yourself into.

in response to kathy's blog. yeah..drunk guys hitting on girls is not flattering at all!!!!! trust me.
and guys answer me this.. how are girls supposed to pursue a guy? i mean guys are always talking about how they wish a girl would pursue the relationship. but what do they mean?

anyways, i just want to say a lil thank you to paul, kathy, and caroline for looking out for me while i was sick. much appreciated! =)
ok that was a super long blog. very unlike me. im telling you. HASH BASH!
im thirsty.....

there must be something in the air......

oh the joys of meeting with my marketing group. after showing up 35 minutes late (gotta work on that...), i was delighted to see that we weren't doing work. (= instead, the boys wanted dating advice from LISA and myself. one of the boys is head over heels for a girl he met at work 2 weeks ago and started dating...and he doesn't want to come off as a "stalker." one of the other boys is all nervous about being rejected by one of lisa's girlfriends, whom he's met only once. and that would be the premise of our time together this afternoon......

according to tad, a girl's personality is 80% of the battle. and actually, if a girl's made it that far, she doesn't even have to worry too much about the last 20% of her looks. the natural look is best; if a girl can look just as beautiful when she gets up in the morning...or even more beautiful...than when she goes out at night, then that's true beauty. awwwwww (=

so then we talked about the stalking thing and how to show a girl how much you like a girl without scaring her off. we all agreed that it depends on what the situation was like before the interest kicked in. in my own experience, guys who start pursuing a girl after only having met her run a much higher risk of being labeled a stalker. that's just the way it is. now, i'm not saying that it's ALWAYS true b/c i believe that a guy is actually capable of really liking a girl (to the point of wanting to pursue her right away) without it purely being for physical attraction or having these ridiculous notions of eternal bliss. but statistically speaking, that couldn't possibly be the case with every guy that i've labeled as stalker. the world just doesn't work that way. (=

but like i said earlier, every guy and situation is different. there's really no magic formula. really, it's just gut instinct. true, sometimes us girls screw up, and we get all paranoid. i know i'm guilty of having done that. but the past is past, and i've learned.

so one of the boys was wondering if it would be easier to approach a girl if he were just drunk. if you really a girl, then don't ever do that. it'll set you back on the path of progress...way back. it's maybe flattering for like the first 5 minutes b/c you get the satisfaction of knowing that you're desirable, but then it just gets obnoxious. *cough.* (= but seriously, if 80% or whatever majority % of a girl is personality, hitting on a girl when you're drunk isn't exactly the best way to show her that that's how much you value personality. i can see how it would be different if you've known the person for a while, and you're actually friends, but that kinda goes back to a kind of stalker on my list of types. so really it's a lose-lose situation.

i'm not trying to lay out a strict regimen for guys to follow...nor am i saying that once you screw up it's the end of the story. don't get me wrong, i'd be the first to admit that girls can be pretty ridiculous in their behaviors as well. (= but i AM saying that 2 wrongs don't make a right though. so i'm just here to give some friendly advice to help you boys along...you ppl are always asking anyway. (=

i hope this gets published b/c it would be a big fat waste of time if it didn't. ok, maybe not...i guess at the very least it'd help me organize my thoughts.

so i got my first response, so that's why i'm blogging again. although, it's just ANDRI, so i dunno if that really counts...jk. (= anyway, she commented on my "judging others" entry, and there's 2 things that she mentioned that i think is worth quoting: 1) the purpose for everything is God's glory (not that it works out to teach me things in life, or others. it usually works out that way, but there's a much higher purpose). 2) all that i'm responsible for is trusting in God. the love flows and remains that way, instead of me trying to "care" about people on my own.

if only i lived each and every day of my life in total belief to this, then maybe i wouldn't get myself into so much trouble all the time. (=

God's been blessing me in tremendous ways for the past week or so though, and it couldn't have come at a better time. At some point on Saturday, i dabbled with the idea of doing something quite stupid with my life. Luckily with all the ppl over this weekend, I didn't have time to really think about it all that much, and praise God for that b/c it probably would've negated everything God's pulled me through this year. God's timing is ridiculous (and i use that word in a good way). it just makes me stand in even more awe of Him and His divine power.

in a tiny little nutshell, God made me realize that i don't have to be so scared of moving on. i'm always scared b/c i feel like there won't be anything better. like when i graduated high school, i was terrified of coming to college b/c everything that i knew and loved was going to be way back in good old cherry hill. and the sad thing is, that even though i can see how God has provided in great ways the past 3 years, i am still scared of moving on from here. i think i need to constantly remind myself of all the ways God's been faithful in His promises and answering my prayers. i was talking to LAURA about that today, and man, it's just so easy to get wrapped up in your own woes and forget that God has something so much greater in store.

But as i said, God has been consistently assuring me the past week that His plans for me are so much greater than what i see in front of me right now. i know that sounds so simple, and those words can just roll off anyone's tongue. but really, when you think about what that means, it's quite mind-blowing. especially when you get a glimpse of what your life could be like if you let God take control. (=

dridri - we studied this in small group last night. and i think it goes well with all the stuff we talked about last year. "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. BE JOYFUL IN HOPE, PATIENT IN AFFLICTION, FAITHFUL IN PRAYER. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality....Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." - Romans 12:9-13, 21
i love and miss you andri...thanks for stopping by on tuesday. CONNECTION for all eternity. (=

"Turns out not where but who you're with that really matters, and hurts not much when you're around. And if you hold on tight to what you think is your thing, you may find you're missing all the rest."

it works (=

hahaha. so bascially, kathy is a dork. blog blog blog. being sick really sucks. it just sucks up ALL your energy. i have so much to do, but my head is about to tip over. i think i just need some air. man, new york and boston were so much fun! i miss my girls so much! its such an awesome feeling to have friends who never change and who you can feel 100% comfortable around.
ok kathy take it away.....

hallo
i'm sitting in the grad right now...bumming for half an hour...until it's time to go to chinese class. haha, mike just imed me asking if the stalker was back b/c i signed on to my other screen name. (= nope nope, no stalkers anymore. i don't even dwell on the thought of someone stalking me anymore. it's pretty much a waste of time. so anyway, my life has been hectic the past few days; there's been a million ppl crashing at our apt for the past week. it's been fun...but no work has been done. i can't believe there's only 2 weeks left of class...i'm gonna fail all my finals! ok, no i won't, but everyone always says stuff like that. actually, i hope that i don't fail marketing...that would be really sad to see a big fat FAIL instead of PASS on my transcript.

anyhoo, so i think i'm at a really interesting point of my life right now. i'm 21, i've got one more semester of college, i've been getting crapped on for the past 2.5 years of my life (all for a great cause though...hee hee)...and i feel like anything is really possible at this point. haha...the cheesy side of kathy. ok, jk, it's not really a side...it's really the whole package. yea, so i'm rambling b/c i can't concentrate.

what else can i talk about?

so back to what i was talking about, i've been doing a lot of reflecting the past week or so, and i realized that i've come a really long way from what i was just a few years ago. i guess that's what college does to you if you let it. i think i'm just getting really nostalgic. i know i whine and complain all the time about the ridiculous drama in my life, but i'm actually quite thankful for everything that has happened. it's really forced me to take stock of why i am the way i am. i've been able to weed out some of the really crappy parts about me and learn to love the good stuff. like all this stuff with my identity has really defined my time at college: being asian american, taking a LOOOOONG break from violin and anything related to it, working out all the crap from every guy i've dated...and really letting go of past pain and tearing down the wall of bitterness (=, and OF COURSE, letting God take control of my life <3 <3 <3.

who would've ever guessed i'd want to be an asian american psychologist? ok ok...so i guess everyone guessed it. am i really that oblivious?! (=

anyway, i gotta find a time to go home. i really miss home. i've only got 8 more months until our new house is finished and we move! i'm pretty excited now though...we're living behind a golf course!!

i'm done rambling now. besides my 30 minutes are up. (=

liz really needs to blog...

OHMYGOSH

The PLAN is GONE!!!!!!

Why are we on western standard time?

Just A-Wondering

BTW, I think Liz lost her invitation to BLOG...so could you send it again Gracie?

(= GOD IS GOOD (=

2nd BLOG for KAT

I'm totally being unproductive right now. I tried studying, but it really didn't work. Although I DO feel MUCH better having talked to CHRIS. So I realized something last night. OK, maybe not realized but had someone point out to me.... The reason why I get so paranoid around certain people is because I always think that they're judging me. However, the truth of the matter is, I only think that they're judging me because I'm actually judging them. So why do I judge these people? Well, because of my analytical nature, my lack of communication with these people, and my constant need to understand the situations around me...I automatically construct reasons for people's behaviors. SO the problem is that chances are, my reasons are probably wrong, but because they exist, there's a certain level of tension that I manifest between these people and myself.

The SOLUTION?
Stop trying to figure people out and just ask them why they are the way they are.

I've never seen anybody do this before (or at least not in my circle of friends)...BUT it does make sense......

ANYWAY
Nothing else is new.

PIZZA HOUSE IS MY WEAKNESS!!

hahaha..michelle's schedule is messed up! so is mine. which is why im blogging at three in the morning. i hope i get up tommorow. ihave to go running. dammit! must run. run forrest run.
anyways, my trip home was good! im glad i went. was productive. still dont know exactly what i want to do but at least i have a plan now.
so yeah, im begining to realize im really bitter about some things. i think i just need to grow up and accept what happened. cant change the past. but i just gotta grow from it. take from what happened and grow from it. you know!? besides what happens between me and another person shouldnt skew my perception of everyone else. i need to give an equal chance to everyone. uh. yeah... why am i so vague? i also decided i dont like talking. typing is better though.
i wish my borther had kicked a certain somebody's ass while he was here. that woulda been SOOOOOOO sweet. but you know, it woulda caused WAY too much drama for my taste.
ok, its so late! what am i still doing up? and what is paul doing over? michelle?! both of you are nocturnal....nite ladies! love ya, like i love my mexican food. (which means a lot)
i think i just need to be a hermit.
