hawaii

I think I need a vacation really bad! but i guess I'll have till April for Hawaii again and Sept. for New York and a mini road trip to Boston, Washington and Philly. I'm think I'm really excited to go to NYC- beside Europe- it's one of the places I wanted to go! =( I miss Paris A lot! Watching Iron Chef challenge in Paris and reading the "Da Vinci Code", my heart just melt. I can't wait to go backpacking in Europe again... Maybe in a few years or so. Spain and Greece sound wonderful, but not as wonderful as Paris.



Ps. The Parisan are not all a******, actually everyone we encounter are so kind and sweet to us. Maybe because we are girls and we look more Asian than Americans??? Perhaps? but there's no places like home!

So much to do, so little time.

=( Have had a long, tiring and but a productive week. Things sometime just don't go the way you want them and that can be really really demoralizing! I'm exhausted and finally at home. So much to do, so little time. Urgh! You know how these things go, you promise yourself to keep up the and then your usual work habits keep you away from it. Now everything hit you at once. So yes - work has been keeping me busy and right now it looks like this will stay that way for a while for the next few weeks, which I don't mind really.

Just in time! I’m glad I completed all 18 quizzes 2 hours before weekend real estate class started; after spending yesterday morning at Border’s for 5 hours. However I did manage a little time to do a little book shopping, a girl gotta shop regardless! Haha.. (Never to buy a latte from someone who claims they don’t make the best latte! The latte sucks!) Any ways, I woke up at 5am, so I can complete the mid-terms for today’s class which starts in a hour. Hopefully it’s going to be a good ballet performance tonight. It's our first and if Tyra likes the show, then she's going to take ballet dances. Ok, I know everyone's a realtor these days. I'm just getting the license to proof my co-worker that I can get licenses less than year and also to win the $100 bet, which doesn't really matter since it cost more. Gotta go! Have a nice weekend k!

politics in life?

I'm sick of the politics in life. Why is it that people care so much about what other people are doing? Why not mind your own business. If it affects you directly then you should pay attention and toss your two cents into the pot. Seriously, I'm just sick of people thinking or knowing what I go through. To describe them all and air it all out... is a waste of time... but I just want to mention it... Cause it bothers me.

At the same time, I wonder if there's a point where I help and then they disappear and only appear when they need something. As one who went this route for a long time, I only have one thing to say - DON'T GO THERE. It doesn't work anymore. I'm sick and tied of people. Holding our tongues doesn't always help because we just can't hide how we feel.


I feel hurt and rejected. One of the saddest things for me is to realize when a friendship has deteriorated so much that all of our conversations are empty. It's one thing to acknowledge that it's over and stop calling each other, but an entirely different ballgame when we continue the appearance that all is fine but we both know it's not. I understand how the presumptuous it sounds to say that I can 'fix'/enhance someone's life a bit. I understand that people have different past. Different personalities. Different priorities. Different paths. I understand that something that looks one way from the outside may be completely different from the inside. I get all that.

Unfortunately, this constant disappointment with people makes me wanna withdraw even more. The last one is my least favorite one. It's the one where something happens. Whether it's big or small. It makes you questions the friendship- that leaves you with sour taste in your mouth. It might be a squabbling that should have never gotten out of hand or a true betrayal that hurts deep down. Either way, there's no going back. To admit that sometimes things just fall apart for no reason and when people don't stop to recognize or address it, it gets to a point where there's no turning back. Where you wonder what held it together to begin with. Where you can't remember the beginning, only this very sad ending.

I need a vacation from taking a vacation!

Here I am at work waiting for the daily report to finish up so I can go home. Funny how so many things have changed, yet I don’t feel like I’ve changed that much. I’ve learned a lot over the years, yet I’m disappointed at myself. I don’t believe I’ve really accomplished anything or did I? If not, what is that I’m supposed to accomplish? Maybe I’m not making much sense huh?



Coming back from vacation sucks! I need a vacation from taking a vacation. I just got back from Toronto/Niagara Fall. We got to try Anchor’s buffalo wings; it’s where the original Buffalo wings were invented. It wasn’t all that, the ones at Hooters’ are better. It was a relaxing trip, though one of my friends lost her luggage going there and coming back. Man, talk about bad luck! It’s bad enough she had to buy everything brand new, but for her to lose her luggage again? What are the odds huh?

Another 30 mins. or so and I’m bore as hell. So I’m trying to figure where to go next year. I know, I’ve been traveling a lot these 2 years and will be for the next 3-4 years. Funny how everyone keeps saying that I should travel while I’m still young and before I get marry. I can’t help but wonder whether if I should have corrected them or not? Regardless, if I do get marry I’m going to travel, there’s nothing wrong traveling w/ kids. Probably won’t be able to do the party scenes, which I am pretty much over with anyhow.

Ok, back to my vacation planning.. New Orleans (maybe?); Honolulu for sure and the East coast road trip. I guess that’s about it, if I didn’t have to buy a new car soon I could afford somewhere oversea. =(

Got to go…

Disneyland for the weekend.

What a week! I didn’t work at all. I was in court for Jury Duty; it took 3 days to select 12 jurors and 2 alternate jurors. Luckily I wasn’t picked – I would have say that I’m bias or tell them that people make mistakes and who am I to judge them- it’s the truth.

I only got about 3 hours of sleep on Thursday night, between trying to get packed and cleaning, etc. I was up at 12:30 am on Friday. My bro and I picked the car at the Airport, which was 10 minutes away. My niece was so excited to go, she was awake and ready by the time we got home w/ the car. After meeting up with the mini-van, all of us drove down to Disneyland and got there a little before 10am. Even though it was a Friday; the happiest Place On Earth was so crowded and hot as hell! Note to myself to go on a school day next time. We got a deal on the 2-day park hopper pass for $90 per person. It’s quite convenient to not deal with cars and parking during all of this since our hotel was around the corner-probably 3-5 minute walk from Disneyland.

=) Wow, it’s been 10 years that I’ve been to Disneyland and 5 years for Disney World. Even though I don’t have the same excitement for Mickey and the other characters. It’s great to see the kids getting so hyper and excited! Especially for the Main Street Electrical Parade at California Adventure. Hopefully I’ll bring my niece back in a few years, when she’s about 6-8 and when she’s a lot taller that way she can play the rides.

Let's go Oakland !

=) Another great day at the ball field! The A’s played the Angels tonite. Just came back from the A’s game! We won 8-4 against the Angels. If you asked me a year ago, I thought baseball was boring. I guess the shouting/cheering can be very therapeutic! Hopefully I’ll have fun at the Raiders’ game next week! Yay!!

Very very tired !

I’m tired, very tired. Have a few things to finish up at work. A little stress from people at work trying to rush me that I don’t give a hoot anymore! I guess you gotta wait. ( I’m tired of being toOo nice.) Too many emails to reply too. Too many people to hide from. Yes, I’m avoiding everyone until I get my stuff done. Still need to wash some clothes. Still need to clean up my room -clear out the clutter and just chill. I just need some sleep! I can't wait till the weekends!
