Be On You - Flo Rida ft. Ne-yo |
] |
I graduated this past May (yay!) buuuut I'm beginning to feel the effects of this economy. Jobs are readily available, but only to those who have experience; sometimes I wish I did graduate 2 years ago so I wouldn't be in this situation right now. You can't help but get depressed by the job market. . . But the only thing you can do is just keep chugging along. This whole job searching mess has really made me a more optimistic person, I was pretty down in the dumps about not finding a job but I've recently come to terms with it and I'm just going with the flow now lol. My parents are demanding that I move back home to south Florida if I can't find a job in Orlando, which makes sense, considering how I wouldn't have any income to sustain myself if I stayed in Orlando. I'm looking into grad school in the spring, hopefully that will work out and I don't have to stay at home for very long.
On a much lighter note, I hung out with Phungtien and her little cousins today! They are adorable, lol. We went to the pool at Landing for about 3 hours and the girls got to practice swimming. They couldn't remember my name so they kept calling me Princess, hahah. But just to clarify, the girls said I was only named Princess, but I wasn't a real Princess, lol. Makes you wish you were a little kid again, so care free. :D
Well I'm gonna play omgpop for a while, just waiting for Martin to hang out for a bit. Ohhh and I get my new glasses tomorrow! Woot! It's times like these, any little thing can make you happy, lol.
Peace out homies!

I can't believe it's 2009 already, I'm graduating in the spring and it's going to be awesome! I've prolonged this moment just to give myself some time to think, but I finally feel ready.
There are so many things that I want to happen this spring. We've worked so hard and come such a long way, I know we're going to make it.

Bella's Lullaby - Carter Burwell |
] |
I saw Twilight the other day. . . and I can't get it out of my head!
I didn't really like the film, neither Robert Pattinson nor Kristen Stewart were that great, but I keep wanting to see it again. I got the soundtrack yesterday and listened to it non-stop. . . I'm terribly bothered by the fact that I enjoy a film that I wouldn't recommend to others.
Now I have the sudden urge to read the saga, which I'm hoping has stupendous writing and plot development because the movie almost killed me with its lack of character and acting skills. I'm probably just bias because I still think the best vampire/ teenage girl love story is Buffy and Angel lol. It was such a fun show to watch and their story was so intricate. I did like one scene in the movie though, when he plays the piano. . . I always love when an actor can really play a musical instrument in a film, her lullaby was a pretty good musical score.
Anyways, I'm exhausted from shopping and I still have to finish my paper for Tuesday. I have a presentation due and my group still hasn't met up yet to go over the notes, eck! I'm so scared that our presenation is going to suck.
I'm hanging out with Jenn and the gang later tonight, so hopefully I can relieve some of this unnecessary stress.

Sitting in class and I'm oh so tired. Ruth came to visit me, Teresa, and Lisa and it was one of the best weekends ever. The youngins are in effect and I am so relieved. This semester has taught me a lot about patience and preserverance. I believe in myself and all of the girls, and the best thing of all, I have faith. Screw what everyone else wants to think, we will survive, with or without anyone's support.

Spring break is almost over and I haven't done anything. I am so bored, it's so pitiful. I got the Feist cd at least, that's something productive. I also downloaded and watched all 13 episodes of Gossip Girl which is my new "for fun" tv show to watch. I just watched America's Best Dance Crew and it was sooo awesome cause it was Broadway lol. If I could feel any more lame I would.
I'm dreading school cause I bombed my Quant test and I just don't want to go back to that but I miss Orlando and all my friends. :(
I want the semester to be over but I don't want to have to make any decisions for myself; I wish someone could just tell me what's the right thing for me to do after college cause I sure as hell don't know. Ughhhh. This whole thing stinks. I guess I'll just do more school. . . .
I'm just playing with my iTunes now, making play lists. . . . I feel like a sad teenager wallowing in her own self pity. . . poop.
Well I hope the rest of my break picks up a little in pace and I get to have some fun. I can't help but feel like I'm wasting my time. . . how awful, a waster life. . . . what a shame.

I get really bothered by bad grammar. Even though I'm not the best at it, I feel like we should all have the basics down. Well I'm more upset about the usage of the word "we."
"We would greatly appreciate your support" -- I had no idea that Min was a part of FM. . . . since FM is a fraternity interest group going up for presentation this Wednesday and I'm pretty sure Min is a female. I've known tFM since freshman year and I have yet to associate myself that closely with them.
Anyways, I'll just focus on Allure. . . . all I am. . . . that's the best I can do in light of this situation.
Oh and Krystle got this new song stuck in my head, she needs to quit that.
Good luck boys!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! I don't understand why people aren't smart enough to know what I want them to do. I mean I tell them what to do so why can't they follow directions? Then there's those who follow directions soooo closely that they can't do anything else? I just hate dumb people, slow people, ugly people, rude people, and lazy people. The end.

I officially hate USF. I know I shouldn't hate an entire school because of one instance of my misfortune but I'm going to take other people's experiences as my own and use it as leverage on my hatred towards that school. It only spawns selfish, unoriginal, and unworthy students with nothing to offer the world.
Here was my mishap with this God forsaken school. . . . the Asian Student Association at UCF has held an annual Date Auction for at least 4 years and this year's theme is Moulin Rouge. USF is holding their 2nd annual Date Auction on the same day and same time as mine, with the same tagline "Find your Valentine!" (until I changed it) and the same theme. . . . how coincidental. I don't have a patent on date auctions or the day or time something they're going to happen, but if you see my awesome flyer and my event and you change your flyer for your event, we are going to have some issues. I was trying to put this behind me but their event coordinator keeps posting on my event wall and telling people from Orlando to go to Tampa for their event. . . like I always say, nothing good comes out of that shit hole called Tampa, it's got nothing on O-town, so suck it!
Reasons why USF sucks hardcore asshole:
1) They're biters.
2) They breed womanizing men - my coworker went to a UCF v. USF football game a few years back and some USF jerk pushed over this girl wearing a UCF cap, so my coworker's uncle literally picked up the punk and moved him away from the girl and told him never to lay a finger on a woman again.
3) They're bitches - cause USF talks so much shit, at another football my coworker witnessed some more punk ass kids harassing UCF kids and talking about how they suck and asking them if they wanted to fight, well naturally for such a big guy, my coworker and his brothers from his fraternity surround the jackasses and tell them to fuck off or they're going to have some problems in the future.
So you see, I think those 3 reasons are pretty good. I don't hate everyone from USF, I just hate what it represents. They have nothing there so they rip off other people's ideas, and seriously they tried to duplicate but it was only a mediocre imitation, a knock-off that can be cast aside. I have people ragging on my school all the time but hey, people deserve their opinions. I am not saying I'm right, but I do know I have the right to be upset so I'm going to continue doing so despite the fact that I can't change how USF is so unforgivably unholy.
Oh and today I heard a racist joke and flipped out, made a boy feel terrible, ruined a night of fun and cried hysterically.
That's all.

I saw "P.S. I Love You" recently and it was fabulous. I can't stop listening to the soundtrack, it makes me feel like "The Holiday" does, all warm and cozy inside.
I decided to make a list of things to do for after college, just for the heck of it. It's broad and up for interpretation, I can't decide what specific things I want but I know what kind of memories I want to cherish. It can't hurt to write down your hearts wishes; if I can't fulfill them, then at least I dreamt of something greater than myself and the world in which I live.
I would love to:
~ Travel the world
~ Discover something wonderful
~ Conquer my fears
~ Create a masterpiece
~ Witness a miracle
~ Grow old with the man whom I love and who loves me
I can't wait to finish school next year and start my career. Nothing has ever come easy for me and there were people and problems that I wish I could have stayed away from; but I feel like I'm at a point in my young life where I'm finally ready to be a part of the world. It's a strange feeling, to want something that takes time but time can never tell you if it's right or wrong, this feeling. Falling is inevitable, let's just hope that I don't fall too hard.

Sooooo. . . I haven't written in here for a really long time. Been too busy, but I think if I did write in here I would have had a better outlet for my stress. Since writing in an actual paper journal took more effort than I thought. So I'm lazy, sue me.
Things new with me:
~President of the Asian Student Association (yeah! ^.^)
~Double majoring in Psychology and Business Management
~Maintaining my 3.9 GPA
Things that haven't changed:
~Been with Martin for 2 years, 3 weeks, and 2 days
~Hopelessly devoted to 12 of the most wonderful ladies in this world
~Saving the world, one life at a time =]
Well, I've been putting on shows, holding meetings, spreading cultural awareness, promoting diversity, encouraging inclusiveness, battling the evil that which is school, and lots more! lol
I was just able to take a breather this winter break. Relax, celebrate Christmas, and just have fun. But like all good things, it gets old fast. I'm pretty much ready to go back to Orlando and get back to school mode, although I'll hate it once it actually happens.
I stayed longer at UCF because I was scared to graduate, not sure what life would have in store for me, but now, I can't wait until I finish and get my life started.
With that said, I thought I would change things around a bit and bring some things back from the past and lay some things to rest to better my future. Hopefully I get a chance to write here more often, even to a non-audience, just so I have the chance to vent.

It's weird that I don't spend any time at home except for when Martin is gone, and even then I don't stay at home for more than a few hours. Martin went back home to Tampa cause it was his dad's birthday and he's coming right now. I missed him this weekend, especially since the pre-party was yesterday and all anyone could say to me was "Hey! Where's Martin?" Ack! It got annoying but what can you do?
I have two tests next week. One for micro and one for accounting, I am not looking forward to either of them but whatever. Tests are tests, they'll be over soon.
VASA's having triple T tonight and I just found out the holiday was Friday. Thank you mommy for calling and reminding me, grrr. I don't have a lunar calendar, I don't know what's going on with the Chinese-ness. I just wish I knew it was this past week so I could've gotten some moon cake. I haven't had moon cake in 2 years! That is a long time. . .
Anyways. . . Yay for the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival!!! Chong-qiu jie!!! Mmmmm. . .
Danielle, if you read this, let's hang out! Next week shouldn't be too busy for me. =D

I took my first test of the semester last Thursday and I got such a terrible grade. I have been questioning everything I am doing these last few weeks. I'm beginning to feel like I don't know who I am anymore or who I want to be, rather.
In this world, we have people who just sit and let things happen and then there are those that make things happen. I can't sit back anymore. I need to stand up, speak out, and make it clear. I may not be the smartest, or the tallest, or the strongest, or the anything at all but no one, NO ONE, will walk all over me. If you want me out of your way you had better be up front about it. I make mistakes, I am not perfect, but neither are you. Back up off of "your" turf because it isn't yours, it belongs to everyone. I don't need your help, I just wanted respect, but if you can't give it, your loss.

I've been having a really weird and upsetting first few weeks of school. First I totally bomb on DTJ auditions then I lose my cell phone then my bookbag breaks then I find out I've been going to the wrong class for the last 2 and a half weeks. It is so frustrating when nothing goes your way for more than a day. But I am going to hang in there. A few spurts of tears and a few sighs and everything will be okay. I still love life and I still will be optimistic. It took a long time to get here but I am here. Take deep breaths and hold on.

So I wanted to move out of the old apartment because I wanted to live closer to the front of the complex and so I sign an "As is" thing to move in next day and my room is the nastiest place I had ever seen. Then they decide to move me cause I put that I don't drink and the other 3 girls who live there are over 21 and are average drinkers. I get moved back to phase 2 into a room that isn't as nasty as the last but isn't even as clean as my first apartment. I get moved out of the ghetto just to get put back into it into an uglier room. I like how the world likes to mess with me all the time. I really wanted to live with Tina and I'm going to talk to her about it and see if the odd one out in their apartment wants to move into my building, which is a Greek building that holds some Delta Tau Deltas, and I hear it's a good party place.
I am tired and I can't sleep because Martin is not here with me.
Loooooong day, looooooooonger night.

So it's been a pretty bad week. I had to move out on Monday and move to my new apartment where my room is the most disgusting thing I had ever seen. Maintenance is supposed to come and clean it but they have to finish with their schedule first which won't be until probably the 18th. Soooooo I signed an "as is" form for no reason and now no one is cleaning my bathroom out (which has molded grout, a stained toilet, and a broken shower). I hate how life likes to kick me in the face when I'm already down. It's okay cause I'm staying at Helen's and I'll just be living with Martin when he moves in at Pointe. I'm going to spend the $250 to change roommates only because my bathroom is so gross and I hope there is availability. I have to shower now.
