| My Progress Long time no see. It's been over 4 months and so far, I'm not doing so great with my new years Resolution. Unfortunately, I've broken majority of them within days but it's never too late to start over, right??? 
So, Going to church. I did go for a month and that stopped. Why you ask? No special reason. But, I did tell myself I was going to start again but now I got a part time job working on Sundays not that it's an excuse but even without the part time job I probably would have slacked off anyways. Eating healthy. I have been eating healthy but not consistently. Damn it, damn it, damn it!!! Exercise. All I can say is, HahahahahahaHahahahahaa!!! Does that answer your question? Paying off debt by 2007 would not apply yet because it's not the end of the year but let's just say I am looking good on this resolution. =) And finally being patient. I mean, I never thought it could happen but I think I am really applying myself to this being patient thingy. And I am really proud of myself. I had to go to the County Clerks Office today to get a document for my mom's house. Obviously, this mission wasn't going to be easy since I had no clue what I was doing . I basically got the run around when I got there and the people were extremely rude. This one lady in particular that I had to deal with couldn't stop waving her hands at me as well as rolling her eyes all over the place. I mean, she had that whole black attitude thing going on and usually, I would have given her an attitude right back but instead I told myself, if I get smart with her, she might make things more difficult for me. So, I kept my composure and continued to speak to her calmly. Eventhough it took 2 hours, in the end she got me what I needed and I thanked her and told her to have a nice day. And shockingly, she smiled and said you too. I came out with what I needed and I was feeling good.  No feeling of regrets. This is Awesome!!! So, there u go. Oh yea, the bikini thingy.....hhmmm, I have 4 to 5 months before my cruise. You know, one piece suits aren't looking so bad~ BIG NEWS!!! I didn't want to say anything yet but Matt and I are buying a Co-op. Hopefully, everything will run smoothly and we can move in by May or June. Wish us luck!!  | | |
| My ResolutionHappy belated New Years!
I am only 13 days late. Not too bad. Anyways, on December 31st, I told myself I need to do the following:
1. Go to church
2. Eat healthy
3. Exercise
4. Pay off all debt by the end of 2007
5. To be patient
and last but not least number 6. To be able to wear a bikini on my cruise in Dec 07!!!
I use to go to church. I use to go to church alot. I mean, I pratically lived there. I remember my mom use to yell at me for being at church all the time because she started to think I was in a cult of some sort. But that all changed my senior year of high school. And eversince then, I attended off and on and eventually it completely stopped. I don't want to get into why it stopped (a really long story) but that I realized that I need to go back.
The Dream Body!!! Now, I kind of gave up on the dream of having a swimsuit body a LONG, LONG time ago (not that I was ever close to it) but the motivation has come back ever since my brother booked a cruise for my birthday. So that's where the bikini thing comes in. Obviously, 2 + 3 = 6. But, even though I pray to God I accomplish 6, I would be satisfied with just being able to stick with 2 and 3. I just love all kinds of foods and I can't resist.  GO WILL POWER!!!
(Singing theme song from Apprentice) Money, money, money, mo-ney... MONEY!!! Some people have it and some people don't. But one thing majority of us have is debt. And for me, I am quite tired of it and it's time for me to part my ways. So, if everything goes accordingly, I might me able to say goodbye to my old debt and hello to my new one  . keke~
And finally patience. I have a short temper. I usually just blow up when something goes wrong. But everytime I do that, I eventually feel like crap and I always end up regretting. So, I am going to be more relaxed about things. I can't make any promises but I can promise that I will try.
So there you go. That is my new year's resolution. So far, not going so well but hey, it's the beginning. It's never easy in the beginning.
Anyways, I am not feeling too well. I think it was the icecream and tostilla chips w/salsa I ate last night. I also had a cherry pie for a late snack. There goes my eating healthy theory.

| how was ur 4th of july?It was a Firday night and I was depressed due to the fact that I had nothing to do for the long weekend. I realized that Matt and Minhee (sister in law) also were available and they too had nothing to do. Ahhhh, the thought of waking up every morning or every afternoon waiting for the time to go by was just pure agony for me. So, I walked over to Minhee's room where Matt was playing his X-men game and I said, "Let's go to Boston!". And Matt says, "Sure". I was expecting alittle more enthusiasm but I didn't care because we were going to do something! So on Saturday morning my mother in law prepared the icebox with soda and water and all four of us headed out to Boston. I did alittle research the night before and I had our day all planned out. The main event was the duck tour. I was really looking forward to that. Plus they have this great deal where you pay one fee of $50.00 for all admissions to the attractions in Boston. If anyone is interested it's called the gocardusa. So how was it? I 'm not going to get into it (long story) but let's just say we didn't get to do the duck tour. Bah! We got back home the same night and I just felt like the trip was incomplete and I wanted to do something!. And suddenly Minhee adds, "The drive to Boston was 4 hours, we could have driven 2 more hours and gone to Canada". That's it! My new adventure! Oh, Canada here we come!
The second time around we were more prepared. This time we froze the water over night so the drinks will stay cooler even longer and we made sandwiches. We also figured we would save some dough by bringing some cup ramen since food in the Niagara falls area is muy costoso!!!. Boyee was I excited. I mean, what could go wrong? Right??? The drive to Canada was 7 to 8 hours (we made too many service stops) and as we were driving over the bridge I saw the falls and it was beautiful! Now all we had to do was get through the customs. As we were waiting online, Matt asks everyone to hand over our (me and minhee's) passports and the greencard (mom's). And then Minhee says, "Oh, where is mom's greencard? It's usually inside of the passport but it's not here." Yes, we got kicked out of Canada. The mom offered for us to get a hotel on the American side so we can leave her there but we couldn't do that. Matt and I was in the mood to do anything. We were exhausted and disappointed and we decided let's just go home! That's not the icing of the story. To top it off, I was driving 85 in a 65 speeding zone and I got a speeding ticket. Where the other drivers were driving 90 to 100 and they got to go home faster. Let's just say I had a long weekend full of surprises  . So how was you're 4th of July weekend?
  
Pretty obvious where these pics were taken.... (my mother in law was with us but was camera shy)

sniff sniff......
which I had mentioned on my previous journal). It's funny what alcohol does to people because on Saturday when we went to Nikki's it was just a crazy night. First, the birthday boyee got drunk. He almost got into a fight with some idiot who tried to start beef with the front man at Nikki's. My two gal friends (won't mention any names - it's embarassing
) almost got into a gang fight with a bunch of girls in the bathroom and finally I had to deal with my husband's jibber jabber because he finished up the remaining Johnny Walker because he was afraid that I would get upset that it would go to waste. So, at the end of the night Matthew wasn't himself. He was saying over and over,
