Too much fun, so little time

Another good day finished. I need to stop updating so late. One of my old college buddies landed a girl from what i've heard. Lucky you :). I'm tryin to do the same.

I wanted to hang out longer at starbux today, but had to do some damn shopping after school. School is such a pain in the ass on Thursdays... I'm on campus from 9:30 am till 7:30 pm which is kind of shitty. It's not like I go to class that whole time straight..ahh hellz no. But it is a long day of classes.

Unfortunately, I kind of got ready late and could not catch my macroeconomics test. But you know what? It's completely OK! That's because the make up for the first test is actually a double score of the next test. Better not set a bad precedence.

I made it to accounting. Honestly, I have that class on lockdown. There is no way in hell that I could possible fail that stupid class. I'm so ahead and so happy.

After those two classes, I had about a 3 hour break in between, so me and Yoohee stopped by mcdonalds. We had this petty argument about how much I hate mcdonalds and how i'd rather eat pho. But damn, she got me when she said it was cheaper. So, on the way to the closest mcdonalds, I remember that there was a mcdonalds at the same shopping center I worked. So, to maximize the effects of my "cheap-ass-ity", I decided to not buy drinks at mcdonalds and guzzle down some refreshing iced teas at starbucks. So, I'm at the mcdonalds thinkin about what I want to buy.

Oh man, let me get started at the strange things I found out about our local pan-am shopping center mcdonalds. Crazy place let me tell yah. Did you know that the double cheese burger is on the dollar menu. So that means that the double cheese burger should cost $1 plus tax right? Well, this time I was lookin at the menu because I wanted to save money. Did you also know that a plain hamburger costs $0.99 cents? Did you also know that a cheeseburger costs $1.20 something? Isn't that just crazy? I mean, think about it. Also, I noticed that you could buy 10 pieces of chicken nuggets for $2.99 plus tax. However, on the dollar menu, you can buy 4 pieces for only $1 plus tax. So by default, you could buy three 4 piece nuggets for about the same price as getting one 10 piece. 12 nuggets for about $3, or 10 for about $3...interesting yes?

Anyways, I picked up 8 double cheese burgers and stopped by CVS. Alexis wasn't there :(. So, me and grace are now at starbux scarfin down as many cheese burgers as we can scarf up basically. I have a little chat with some of my fellow co-workers inside. Ah..it's so sad to see good people leave a job. For example, this girl Melanie,or however you spell her name, is leavin. Man, it goin to be sad to see her go.

After gorging on double cheese burgers, I head back to Yoohee's house cuz she left her books in her own car. It's finally time for sociology and man...errr. The teach completely knocked me out with his lectures. I was falling asleep so bad and Yoohee was basically knockin the shiet out of me with a pen to keep me up. After she gave up, I got a nice little nap, and then it was class break time. Yes, this sociology class meets one time a week so the class is about 3 hours long. I completely woke up after break time and paid attention the rest of the class time. The teacher finally became more interesting...so yes, that was fun.

After class, I did a little shopping at wal-mart. Picked up some lotion which is supposedly good for you or whatever and some other stuff. I discovered jalapeno flavored beef jerky for the first time and man is that stuff good. Everyone should go out to walmart and buy some. Great stuff.

After wal-mart, just went back to Yoohee's place, fixed her computer like I said I would, and went home.

Ah, what a day.

Quick Day Outline:

1. Missed Macroeconomics.
2. Kicked ass in Accounting.
3. Went to a fukked up mcdonalds.
4. Hung out at starbucks.
5. Fell asleep in sociology.
6. Fixed a computer.
7. Went home and updated my xanga.

Yeah, I think I should limit how much I post....sheesh.

Man, I have a test later today...like at 9:30 am. It's ok tho.

Me and Grace are now broken up, but things are looking real good. We are good friends and still talking just like old times. I'm really happy things could be like that. I've gotten to the point where it's easy to move on because we both have a total understanding of each other. I'm glad to have spent time with such a wonderful person and companion. I'm even more glad that we can still maintain closeness even after 2+ year relationship. Thank you so much for everything and see u in classes Yoohee!!!~

Anyways, I worked this morning and things were really uppity today. Sandra commented that I had this aura about me today. Haha, I told her it was my pheremones at the works. And you know what?! I felt it too!

I guess you can say that i'm officially on the prowl to meet someone nice. I've been so out of the game that it's crazy.

I kind of have my eye out on some girls I want to get to know and just hang out with, but just never get the chance to be like "wassssup, gimme ur number." to.

And damn, this girl I'm kind of thinkin about came to get some drinks while I was at work. Haha, damn Susan and Danielle gave me hell about it by tellin me I was lookin for love at CVS. I hope I here the end of it.

I think i might've blown it too...cuz i was tryin to talk to her while i was behind the register but stupid customers got in the way. I swear, starbucks customers just don't give a fukk. I think that i'll come clean with her and apologize. I need to stop by CVS and see what's up.

Oh yeah, and this girl came in from the nail salon next door who was pretty cute. I swear, I love seein girls smile..hahaha.

OMG, i'm so immature tonight. I guess it's cuz i was in the most serious YET enlightening debate today with Jamal and this regular named Angela.

You know, thinking about it...I'm pretty sure most of you individuals who read this crap don't know who these people I'm talking about are. For real tho, I guess next post, I'm going to give a little bit of info about everyone I know. Lots and lots of crazy but great characters.

Well, it's that time for me to sleep. I have sooooooo much to say but I can never get it out in one session. Too much stuff keeps happenin every day and I never have enough time to update.

Before I go... I just want to say that the older you get, the more experience you have. When you talk to someone who is much older than you, they have so much knowledge to offer. It sounded crazy to me before, but it is hardly the case that most older people (30+) are not as open-minded as we may think.

I'm saying that it is wrong to disrespect the opinions and views of those who are older than us. I mean, I'm not generalizing that all of you are like that, I'm just saying that is what I used to be like, and I know now that back then I was a fukking moron.

For the first time in my life, i'm desiring the knowledge and wisdom of those who have been around and know how things work.

And to my mother and father, this also includes both of you. Love you mom and dad!

It's 3:37 AM. Damn are things rough...but i'm lovin it! Working 35-40 hours, taking 9 credit hours worth of class all on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm working myself like a slave, and crackin the whip like a hard slave driver... But it's worth it. I need this responsibility in my life, and though you may think I may be crazy, your probably all damn right about it.

Anyways....

Tonight was fun. Studied and did some homework, and then I went and played some pool with starbucks friends and my friend David. It's always good to do things like that.

I might be workin on this business deal with somebody. Just a side job to make some minor cash. Nothin major. But we'll see about that.

I love my job right now. So many great people. I'm constantly reminded of their greatness each time I spend time to hang out with them. Just such a major freak occurence to work with all these great people under one roof.

Well, I need to get some sleep now. I'll be better at keeping my posts on xanga. I feel that I need to start venting more often. Alright everyone, PC and pleasant dreams.

Just a thought... I just made an entry, and i've been browsing through all the sh*t i've posted in the past. When I look at it, I just want to laugh at how silly it is. And though I think it be silly, I cannot delete it..even if I wanted to. Well, maybe there is a way.

Why do I not delete it? It's because I am a product of my past, and it is always good to know the things you did in life because they tend to be lost in your thoughts as time goes by.

My rantings, ravings, ramblings, are all important to me no matter how naieve (excuse my spelling if i'm wrong) may be.

OH WELL :)

My life in a nutshell since my last update:

I notice that I've been very sporatic/spontaneous in my postings. Actually, the only reason I am now posting is because I brought up to my fellow co-workers (yes, I have a job now) that I do have a xanga.

Sandra and Suzy, my coworkers tonight whom I will find out their xanga, mentioned the key term "xanga" out-loud while at work and I started to feel left out. So I said, "hey guys, I have a xanga TOO" and they were all like wow. Hence, I set myself an obligation to my so-called online journal to dedicate some time to update it...so that they would not read yesterdays news.

Well, here it is...

No really, now it's my life in a nutshell since my last update:

I believe the last thing i mentioned that was of significance was that I was now attending NOVA. I believe at this point it got cut off and I became busy trying to maintain my work at school and protect whatever social life I had left in me.

Once upon a time during the spring semester of 2004, upon a school hill I sat, ambitious as hell to initiate academic success. Didn't happen... well, sort of. The place of my arrival was at the hilltop of NVCC (Northern Virginia Community College) Anandale Campus. I ended up taking ACC 211, SPD 110, and ECO 201. While trying to be that yuppy honor roll student, I participated in Club_Filipino. Eventually, laziness and weariness set in and I ended up dropping ACC 211. While my grades declined to poor attendance, I landed a job at Starbucks Coffee Company. With my love life struggling, my grades slacking, and my social life in chaos, i managed to freak out during the end of the semester, but in a beneficial way. I salvaged what I had and passed both my remaining classes.

During the summer, my love life was struck a serious death blow and hasn't recovered since. Could it be the time to throw in the towel now? Anyways, summer came, and I made some great friends at my work place. Blah blah blah blah...

enough of that..

3500 dollars later, before you know it, I'm now a shift manager at starbucks getting paid more.

Fall semester 2004 is now starting and I'm repeating ACC 211, ECO 201. I've also added SOC something or other. I got a new palm pilot to organize my stuff so that's good.

Well, for those of you who cared to read this, thank you!

I actually do have a lot to say, but it's not comin out right now :(. It's actually kind of funny how I started this off with a big narrative and how it slowly got shot to hell by laziness and time consumption.

Dont' worry, there is more to tell..much more...

Stay tuned for the next episode...

Just hittin this up before I go to sleep. Today, went to NOVA and picked up my backpack which I had left at NOVA for 2 days. I coulda used that yesterday :P. Anyways, dropped off Yoohee at NOVA, picked her up, and then ate some lunch at her house. She made me kimchi fried rice. Oh man, rotting cabage tastes so good..JK. (I LOVE KOREAN FOOD). Then, went back to NOVA library to work on this webpage stuff i'm makin for my clubbers. Went to lifetime by myself (ahem....) and worked out. Today i burned about 1,300 calories in a little less than 4 hours.

Oh man, do I plan on being ripped as hell. I want triceps bigger than my own head mang. And I want pecks that I can crush a milk jug between. I will have man boobs one of these days...maybe sooner than you think

By the way, bringing up Korean food. Kimchi is super good. I always eat like half the kimchi at yoohee's house. Oh man....i think i may start liking korean food more than filipino food. And yes, I can hear yoohee saying "You know Koreans are the shit" in the background.

Lets summarize the food I have been eating at yoohee's house recently. First is bulgogi. Some kind of marinated meat stuff. I love it with lettuce, and I like it between to big ass pieces of bread. Man was that good shiat. I could eat a million of those things. Then beef ribs. OMG, just thinkin about Korean beef ribs makes my mouth water. It's also marinated and straight up delicious. Oh my gosh, Yoohee's mom cooks so well, i'd be willing to pay for that shiat man. And the soups she makes.....oh mang...haha..stop me now.

Before I wrap it up, i'd like to say this:
"Don't worry Filipino food, you'll get your shouts in postings in the future"

Thank yah, thank yah very much.

Out...........................

So, I hear someones getting fat...however..me, i'm just getting phat... har har...uhm...heh...no.

Well, I forgot to mention that I recently got a membership to lifetime fitness. Oh yes, am I going to get ripped.

Eating what I want and smoking are getting in my way of having a beautiful me. I want to eat, and I want to smoke. But boy, what a bad combination for daily excersise. I mean, eating is real addictive sometimes. Oh man, could I kill for some pig food after a good long excersise. Nothing makes me hungrier than losing 400 calories in an hour. And when I eat, man is it bliss.

What's better than a damn good fat stuffing meal? A complimentary smoke! WHy do they go soo well together? And when consuming alchoholic beverages, smokes are a must. Why?

Why must the two of my favorite items in the world have to be so shitty for your health? It's not fair dammit.

Enough of that..

On another note, I've joined club flip at NVCC-Annandale. I'm currently working on the webpage. I'm going into nerd overdrive... Why am I so smart?

Yup, it's that time of year again. Yoohee, I said I'd give you a shoutout..well..here it is in honor of Valentine's Day.

To Yoohee,

This week has been so tough. When things were over, they just begun. Look where we are now. In the few days it took to destroy, a few days it took to build it up greater than before. What am I talking about? Our love.

What shows that I'm truly in love with you? Many things do. You are the greatest thing to ever be in my life. I'm glad I have you.

Our history in short:
1. First met you in Latin class. Funny how it's the first class you failed.
2. Went out to the library together. First time I got mad at you.
3. First visited ur house and met your doggies. Was there to help you on ur project.
4. Had dinner at Pacific Cafe when I was back from college (freshman year)
5. Finished college...on the way to SF mall, we started going out! May 16
6. Became engaged almost a year later.

Yea, kind of brief...but ya'll don't need to know everything now do u?

Yoohee, you mean the world to me and I'm glad that I can spend my life with you.
