Slumdog Millionaire

Once in a while we get a special treats and surprise! I really love this amazing movie! Thank you for the recommendations Rupa! =) I can’t stop raving about it! The best ‘feel good’ movie of the year! Even though the year just started! It was inspirational to see a movie that was so beautifully executed; includes love, destiny, sorrow, greed, betrayal, murder and then redemption. The storyline was nicely connected, so the previews doesn’t give a way everything! We tend to forget the harsh reality and hardships people go through daily! (Especially kids in the 3rd world country.) We definitely take things for granted for the simply things in life, bring your teens and hopefully they will learn how lucky they are to even have tap water.

You gotta see this movie! Especially if you love traveling and learning about culture, this will definitely give you a taste of India! Gotta love the Bollywood dance! Haha..

2009 New year’s resolution

Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a great New Years Eve celebrating. It’s kinda funny, but every now and then I catch myself thinking, “Oh I have to blog about that!” and then I remember I’m not blogging so much anymore. Can’t believe another New year has passed, hopefully this will be a happier year.

For some odd reason, I noticed I have given up on New year’s resolution. Somewhere along the way, I have given up on them as though I have given up on myself. It’s 2am and I’m just here sitting by myself thinking about a lot about everything. How did my life become the way it is? Did I let it happen or simply stop caring about myself?

Ok! So I decided that 2009 would be the year I start taking care of myself first before anyone else. So finally here’s my list.

1. Get back in shape and to be health. Lose! Lose! Lose!
2. STOP Procrastinating!
4. I need to meet new people/friends.
5. Volunteer!
6. Be a better friend.
7. Start learning Spanish now and then Piano later in the year.
8. Be more independent. (Oh yeah! I still need to go somewhere by myself.)
9. Stop worrying and stressed out about bills.

10.Make over in 6 months! (Look hot for Kim's wedding. haha)
11. Last, I need to blog as much as possible! *_~ Thanks Nino.

Wow! I didn’t realize I have so much on my list already! Ok, Let’s just start with these 11 and eventually on New Year eve, I’ll come back and check my progress! Wish me luck!

Added !

12. Start cooking more!

What was I thinking?

Hmmm.. It’s been hectic these past few months. I’ve decided to go back to school. For some odd stupid reason; I thought I would be able to handle 5 classes, work fulltime and help my sister plan her wedding. However, things never goes as planned. Besides not having enough sleep-I’ll be lucky if I get 5 hours daily. Sister turned into a mini “bridezella” à drove me crazy, had to drop one of the 5 classes and then found out an ex-coworker passed away. Basically I’m emotionally drained and tired from everything!! God! What the hell was I thinking? Superwomen?

Stilll Learning...

What a month, so glad it’s over! There are so much to write about and yet I find myself tight on time. Gosh, $ 700 for book and intutions- if it wasn't for ebay and half.com it would have been $700 for books instead of $450, another $400 for the rose gold w/ little pacts of diamond ring as a birthday present for myself, Jane’s bach and gift $260+, eating out and Clothing $ 350+ etc. I can’t believe I’ve spent over 2+k this month and that’s not including rent, gas, cable and ebay. =( I gotta stop this! I could have went on a trip, then again it was all worht it.

OK! I have to admit that going to school and working both full-time is really hard. Yes, I dropped my English class already simple b/c too much work, I was spenting about 10-12 hours weekly for this class and it’s killing me. So here I am, talking 4 classes this semester instead of 5. (So what if I tranfer and graduate a semester late.)

My fellow students are so young and they seemed so immature; while some seemed to have trouble -others seemed to take it in stride. =/ I’m in between. However it so much better, though I’m have never study so much in my life. I am so much more focused than I was when I was younger. I have a clear goal and a real reason to go. Joanne’s right, “Just do it! Think of it this way, it'll be much easier now than if you wait even longer.” As with many things in life, the toughest part is thinking about doing it.

Ps.

On a lighter note, I'm actually getting 5 hous sleep each night.

I told my boss that I no longer could stay for over time, he understand.

gtg . time for bed.. =)

back to school !

I hate being stressed out! It’s been crazy lately! Oh God! there's so much to do in life and it just feel like there's no time to do it. I decided to go back to school and just get a BA. I regret so much for not getting one, hopefully I could transfer next semester and should be done 1.5 year or 2 at most. I know I know, 5 classes is a lot for a semester, a full time job and helping Jane plan her wedding. I know it’s worth it at the end!

After I graduate, I can finally quit this job and relax a bit. I want to take 60 days off and maybe go to Europe or something? I don’t know yet? =( a bit sad that I’m not going anywhere for vacation this year. Hopefully I’ll get to go to Egypt or Taiwan next Sept. So yes! I’m saving up- so far its only $450:my goal is $2500.

Oh a happier notes, Britney did great at the VMA! Everyone is finally giving this poor girl a break, then again she’s

Travel request cancel.

What a year! All my travel plans just went out the door. It's been a terrible year for traveling. If you know me, I love to travel! There's something about traveling that fills my soul w/ pleasure. First Hawaii and now the New York road trip, usually I thought I would be really upset, but to my surprise- nothing really. Things happen and after what I went through for Hawaii- I figure there's no point of getting upset. Instead I decided to go by myself next Spring, since I wanted to go somewhere myself that doesn't need a car. If someone decides to join me that's fine too. If not, this will be an expensive trip due to lodging, but I deserve it and I can't wait! Especially after reading "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan", I won't be like Becky and go all crazy w/ labels, but I do want to check out at least one sample sale. Ok, I'm hooked on Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series. Its just so relaxing and next thing you know, I'm done reading the book. I'm finding bits and pieces of myself in Becky.

Ok I’m not doing so well on my diet. I keep forgetting to jog down what I ate. I need to go buy a mini notebook or so something. Other than that, I've honestly decided to give school another try. So I thought I was only 1-2 classes away from transferring, instead I need 4 including the stock market classes = possible 5 classes this semester-depending if the stock market class is still on. I know it's a lot, but I just wanted to transfers ASAP. Basically next semester I'm going to have no life, not that I really have one now. There are a lot of regrets why I didn’t take school serious. People say school is not for everyone, which I agree completely. Oh well, hopefully 2.5 years from now, I'll be graduating.

Could you pass the latest citizenship test?

Could you pass the latest citizenship test?

"In October 2008 a new version of the U.S. citizenship test will be taken by all applicants. Could you pass it? The questions are usually selected from a list of 100 samples that prospective citizens can look at ahead of the interview. Some are easy, some are not. We have picked some of the more difficult ones. NOTES: Candidates are not given multiple choices in the naturalization interview.
