| The last time I saw fireworks... we were walking hand in hand near the rides at the State Fair.
"Is it 10 yet? Where's my fireworks?" I demanded.
The fireworks started. And like clockwork he pulled me to his chest and wrapped his arms around me. It was always effortlessly easy for him to hold me entirely.
"I like that one." I pointed from underneath his arms.
"I like that one," he pointed "and mine is bigger and better."
The fireworks display was lame in comparison to the ones I was used to on New Years or July 4th. And we must have looked awkward, frozen together in the middle of the fairgrounds, more into the fireworks than everyone around us who was too busy on the rides or games. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it, this made up romantic moment between us. Plus, we had made the fireworks fun by turning it into a game. Everything was a game with us.
"Ooooooh! Did you see that one? It was a smiley face. Cool. I win!"
"What smiley face? No it wasn't." He teased me.
"No! It was a smiley face! How could you miss it?" I argued back.
"No, babe I didn't miss it. I saw it. I was a sparse shot with no shape." He argued.
"What? No! You're wrong! It was a smiley face. It had a yellow circle with blue eyes and a red mouth." I pushed away.
"Babe, I'm color blind remember?" He pulled me back
"Oh yea... so you didn't see it the way I did. So is ANY of this interesting to you? Have you just been seeing gray blobs this whole time? We don't have to watch it. We can go. I feel bad." I hugged his arms tight.
"No it's fine. You wanted to see fireworks all night. We can watch it. I don't mind. And I AM enjoying this."
"Sorry." I kissed him and smiled. "But hey, can you take me again on New Years and July 4th? I love fireworks!"
"Of course, anything you want."

| I don't do well with confrontation. And I hate competition.
I'll admit I'll be the first to quit before the water even boils.
I'll bow out simply at the risk of hurting someone else.
And I'll say I don't care but I really do. I really really do.
In other news....
- I got a 1/3 for my 2nd pop quiz. Improving are we :)
- I've finally sat down and talked to my brother about my website. It's been over a year since we've brought up the idea and finally we're talking about it. So now all I have to do is power point how I want my pages to look and light a fire under my photographers' butts so they get my pictures to me!
- I'm staring down at another 12+ hour work day this weekend. I'm pretty excited.
- I'm starting to get a hang of this whole cooking and groceries thing. No more fire alarms going off :)
- My bank account is slowly starting to recover :) But positions for Sugar Daddy are still open. Please apply.
- I want to get a video camera to do a video post. Someone teach me please.
And that's all the random good news in my life. I hope yours are better :)

| I've been super busy.
I worked a 16 hour day Saturday. Started at 4am for a wedding party and didn't get home until 8pm from a fashion show benefiting the American Cancer Society. Exhausted hardly describes how I felt.
One of the bridesmaids was a spitting image of Sandra Oh. And one of the models was a Lucy Lu. That was pretty neat.
The wedding job was pretty cool as the bridal party gave the makeup artist & hairstylist a hotel room so my cousin and I spent the night there. It's so nice waking up and not having to drive in the middle of the night! Too bad we had to work so early the next morning or else we would have painted the town red. Maybe next time.
The fashion show was at an estate in Atherton, CA (read = mansion). From where I was standing there was a swimming pool AND a tennis court in the backyard. It was a lot like the Desperate Housewives show I worked before except this one was thrown by Asian folks. I tried looking for a young potential husband but no luck. It was mostly older women decked out in diamonds there to buy more diamonds. I wonder if they would have considered adopting me as honorary grand daughter or something. Maybe next time.
Well, that's about it. I'm back n Davis back in summer school. It's not so bad except I just got a 0/3 on my first pop quiz.
No giving up. Must go on : )

| That whole cooking arrangement thing...
It was fine yesterday when I microwaved what mommy made. Today, today...
I woke up at 6am to make breakfast but realized everyone was still sleeping so went back to sleep. I woke up again later and started cooking...
- 2 sets of burnt english muffins
- 2 fire alarms going off and
- 2 burnt wrists (which now looks like I have symptoms of an STD, ugh!)
later and we have breakfast. Yay me! Tomorrow and the rest of the week will be better. Because we're going to be having cereal and milk everyday. Hehe just kidding.
Actually, I applied for another job. Lets hope I'm back on my feet soon.
And now for some thoughts on summer school:
- I know summer is hot and its hard to keep cool but that whole "shiny" "glowing" look is not a good one. If you're big on foundation, I highly highly suggest switching to a powder for the summer since it will help absorb some of that shine. If you're just a natural shiner may I suggest a colorless powder, some oil blotting sheets, or toilet cover sheets (those have been known to work in emergencies).
- I was 10 minutes late to class on the first day, good thing when I came class was cancelled. Reason: chemical meltdown in the Chem building. Yay!
- Our teacher called roll and told us to tell her what we wanted to be called (you know, Asian kids with Asian names but perfer to be called something American). This one guy said to call him "handsome." I saw him today, ironic how he's the ugliest kid in class.
- I try to sit in the front and center of all my classes so that I will be forced to focus. I got called on in all my classes. Not to mention I happened to sit down next to the T.A. He's not cute but he's great to copy notes from :)

| Random thoughts at 3 in the morning because I can't sleep.
- I love eyebrows. They totally pull the personality together. Lately, I've been really into thick dark eyebrows. So I draw mine in super dark and thick. It's addicting, I can't stop. I go out for a few hours, catch myself in a mirror and yikes!!! What was I thinking?!?!
- Tomorrow is day 1 of summer school. I'm excited. I wonder how long that feeling is going to last.
- I told a guy that I didn't want to date him anymore and that he wasn't allowed to call me anymore because I don't want to be friends with him. My reason? "Dating you is no fun for me." His sarcastic ass response? "Sorry I'm not fun enough for you. I don't want to make you suffer another minute." "Good. Thanks." I giggled back. What I REALLY wanted to say was that I did like him but at the moment I just don't like myself too much. And that's the deal breaker. Besides, nothing is fun when you don't like yourself.
- I can't afford to pay rent myself anymore since I don't work a steady job anymore plus I have credit cards among other things to pay off. So my brother came up with an arrangement. I pay no rent but I have to make him 3 square meals a day and buy all the groceries (with his money) and do all the dishes. Fine. But doesn't he know I couldn't cook a decent dish if my life depended on it, which it kinda does right now.
- I offered to do laundry if he throws in a bonus shopping item (clothes) every 2 weeks. But he refused. Hater. Now I have to take my mom shopping if I want anything.Where the hell is a rich boyfriend when you need one?!
- My family vacation to Hawaii is in 3 months. My goal is lose 15 pounds. Feed me and die. Actually, I'm going to get my lip re-pierced tomorrow. I hope this helps my eat-less plan.
- Sometimes I hate being "well endowed." Like when I find the cutest shirts EVER but can't for the life of me squeeze into the top half of it even though the bottom half of it fits perfectly.
- Does going to see a therapist regularly make you crazy? My best friend suggested I go do it. I don't know. I don't think I would be able to talk to someone unless I knew they really cared about me, you know? And not because I was paying them.
- My other best friend said that I'm needy. I think everyone is. I just have no problem demanding it from others.
