i luv my new kitties...stanley aka xiao gui and meimei

i luv my new day job

i luv my new place in arcadia

i luv my roomie in my new place in arcadia

i luv father's nature...this small place my roomie took me to eat in old town

o..and i luv how i live so close to old town

back to Father's nature....i liked it so much that i drag van there o eat the

salmon wrap with me the very next day HAHAHAHHAA~

heres the list to update on...so sorry...been doing so much that i havent updated a lot, and loaded up pixs.

chantal baby commented on my friendster that i have " the longest string of bday celebrtations known to mankind" funny..but...its sorta true...

one bday present was the gwen stefani concert in vegas...i still gotta load those pixs up

then i had a penthouse to celebrate in vegas the after that..but i cancelled for sum bday dinners with friends

this weekend i went to shag to celebrate me turning a year closer to 100 ahaha

and im all strungout with bday luncheons and bday dinners...

so i took a rain check on another bday present: a suite at The Hotel, complete spa package and plane tickets for 2 to vegas....

and finally....my actual party...this friday at 1020.

anyway...i think...its those bday dinners and luncheons with those u care about that mean the most...

there's so much BS in this world. and we all complain about it. but I've noticed that no one does scrap about it.

i used to donate a couple bucks every other week to mcdonalds fund, redcross, ect.

and i havent done any of that for a while...

I've always inspired to be like my piano teacher. Not only did she guide her students musically and artistically, she guided us philosophically and taught us how to live well.

and i use to dream of following her footsteps in the other things she does: her and her husband volunteer at juvi's to help and listen to the youths that have it hard in this city. the stories she had shared with me had made me cry and realize that no matter how tough my life ever got....its peanuts to what is really out there.

 reading this intro from Blake last nite...i think this is the sort of "introduction" we should begin each month with.we truly live priviledged and lucky lives. we may not be sheltered necessarily, but...we forget all to easily that what we have are not a given, and we lose ourselves in the frivolity and surface glamour of our world.

like my gwen stefani trip...or the blue i love...the...

doesnt mean we cant indulge ourselves, but it means we cant forget and we should do what we can. i think...ima pass on celebrating my bday in vegas this weekend...a friend got me a presidential suite for me and friends...and i passed on a spa package at the Ritz this weekend

i dunno...i feel like doing sum volunteer work... God meant for us to do more than just live privelidged lives...

so here goes to answering to sumones "tune":

well...i never said i was boring...rite? 

one hint: the title "sacrum" is not Polish. its Latin.

i know sumone is smiling at this. why did i pick a Polish song this time? Let's say im a little "homesick" for those months i spent in Poland where i first met you and ate you grandma's borsch soup...which is still my favorite to this day.

perhaps i miss walking through the park alone with the wind blowing through the leaves.

perhaps i miss the music, the ice cream parlor, the lake, the palace...perhaps...

its because it was the period of my life where i felt the least alone even when i was alone. most at peace and the most closest to God.

perhaps...but who knows.

ergh...cant sleep pissin me off.

for those who know the history of this piece, they will understand that it goes with the 1st part of this entry:

one of my favorite pieces to play.

**********************************************

k. officially buzzed...hence the puffy face. (thats wut i get for

drinking greygoose.) but shHhh...dont tell.

*****************************************

sumthing i learned today while shopping for a tie. i was looking for a mint green one and a yellow one. nothing really happen to me personally to make me say the following. i was just a witness of this incident today:

IQ really is not enough to get you through life. our society hones IQ but doesnt do scrap for people's EQ. people's EQ today havenot advanced much from the beginning of time, the middles ages, and so on....people today all have access to an education and opportunity of higher learning. but sumhow...sum of the most important things in life are not learned.  and the result is...almost like..hilly-billy like:

before u speak or do an action. DO exam the following:

1) if i say or do this, will there be any change in outcome?

2) if so, is the outcome positive or negative? is there a point?

3) if it is positive, PLEASE DO SPEAK. if it wont change matters or its just stupid, PLEASE DO NOT SPEAK.

4) but BEFORE YOU DO. DO THINK: is it my place to do so? if not. just dont. its not your place to play teacher to another unless its sumone really important to you who will listen.

so sad when sumone does or acts before they think things through.  cuz with these kind of people...even if u did anything, the wisdom u attempt to pass on is in vain.  thats all you can do for people who dont think more longterm. too many think short term and answer to the most primitive, basic anxiety: releasing and and getting satisfaction just that split moment. of course, afterwards, if ur wise enough, you will realize how stupid u were and what an ass u were.

do i talk too much? prolly. that said, i digress.

rainny days always make me feel peaceful. like when u get up on a sunday. my mind always sorta...spaces out, stretches out. lol. so here is a thought:

when i use to teach english to 1st graders, the principle always threw the troublemakers into my pockets. but sumhow...i had a way with them. for sum reason, they listen to me...even tag along after me during recess or run to me instead of the nurse when they get hurt.

i had a soft spot for for troublemakers..but there was one i especially adored. name was kevin. my, was he trouble! he would mark his territory from the restroom door to the sink and even try marking the ceiling, or get stuck on the classroom roof. but i never had to yell. he'd always listen to me. i helped him fix his bad habits, improved his spelling...he even started bringing his lunch to me to sit with me and eat. really, there are no evil people. no one is a born devil. u dig deep enough, especially into those that are often misunderstood...and u will be rewarded with getting to know some of the most purest at heart. sometimes...u end up learning sumthing from them. but theres always a laugh guaruntee~

but...it looks like i've lost my knack for handling trouble. trouble is so cute when they are young but when they grow up...lots of question marks float up to my head.

anyway...i've always liked to study the behavior and habits of the opposite sex, classifying them and such.

i guess this blog entry was a failed attempt to analyze trouble. when it all boils down..i only know the answers to when they are kids.

Last night i had a ball. i wrapped up 1020 and went to Silk. i had projised spencer like ...FOREVER that id go check out his place. and never was able to leave 1020 to go. great turn out at 1020 last nite. was so hard to leave..but it was now or never. LOL! nothing is better than to be surrounded by 20-sumthing friends and all have fun together.

anyway, yesterday i was reminded once again that i only know this much:

looks like trouble. smells like trouble. sounds like a peace of heaven...then it IS trouble.

i'm terrified of how trouble, as promiscuous and mischeivous as it is....can do what it does and all that time manage to balance a halo on its head. thats just down rite horrifying. but then again, u cant help but smile at just how cute it is and crack up. its good to see that theres people out there with spunk and life in them...in this worn down, routine-ful and predictable social world.
