"I woke up on the wrong side of the world" -Faron Young
Funny, that's how I felt when I first got to Texas. Ever notice how many conversations revolve around nothing? And you don't really notice until you have a substantial conversation. It's like someone wakes you up and you realize you've been asleep. I know it all sounds oh so melancholy but it's true. Here's a statement you wouldn't expect from me- it's okay that most of us, yours truly included, have endless conversations revolving nothing. It makes us appreciate the substantial conversations even more.
So what's new yall?
WELL, Farberware's closed and I worked a Ann Taylor for a little bit but decided it just wasn't for me. So I'm hangin out at the moment, playing chauffeur to my brothers while mom and Dave are out of town, so I don't have time for a job right now anyway.
Other than that, Jo hasn't been in the picture much, he's been acting shady so it wasn't something Lauren and I wanted to deal with. To cut through all the drama? He's been lying about the weirdest shit and then some money went missing.. It just wasn't adding up. So, I don't know if we'll ever be on the same terms but.. here's to Jo. Hope you find your way.
not one, but two jobs. within two days.
life works in funny ways.
thinking about taking both cause the schedule they offer just fits so damn perfect,
one is in the mornings on weekdays and the other is on tues&thurs nights and weekends.
im pretty much relaxed in school cause im only taking 12 credit hrs.
and here it ain't alot. most people take 16 credit hrs.
im only taking 12 cause my residency rates havent kicked in yet.
have to prove i've been living here for a year before i qualify.
so it would be such a waste to spend thousands of dollars on subjects i can take for only hundreds.
big difference here for my dad, whose paying. haha
so this year im just gonna do 12 credits a sem and chill all summer.
i won't be lazing all 3 months, i would die of boredem, gonna be working, hence the job search now.
and hopeful i'll get to spend some time with my favorite people here :)
the extra money will be good to finance this plan.
and next year i'll go crazy and do 16 credits a sem, summer school and an internship.
sounds like a do-able plan to me. plus the extra $$ dont hurt :D
i am excited.
this isnt a sure plan. gonna see how the next 2 weeks go and see if i die of exhaustion.
HAPPY 2OTH BIRTHDAY, BRIAN!

You have to watch August Rush!
Oh hey I might transfer to Syracuse University this fall. I just don't know if I can deal with the cold weather.. Upstate New York's really purrrty though so that's some compensation. No more shorts and tshirts, it'll be coats and layers.. :/
So, my revelation of the week? Women have powers of manipulation like you won't believe! I didn't even believe it.. and I'm a girl. I checked. They can wrap you around their little finger so fast you won't know how you got tangled up in the first place. Now if only I can convince my gender to use their powers for good instead of evil..
Exhibit A:
*names have been changed for the protection of involved parties.
*Sandra wants a diet coke. Luckily, she has an admirer at her beck and call. A little subtle manipulation and she gets what she wants. Observe.
*SandraLeigh87: Hey how was work?
*Tyler7776: Ehh work was work, people are assholes but whatever. What u doing?
*SandraLeigh87: Me and N are just at the apartment. I'm craving a diet coke it's too cold to go out and get one though
*Tyler7776: Lucky for you, I deliver
*SandraLeigh87: Huh what?
*Tyler7776: You want a diet coke right?
*SandraLeigh87:Oh you don't have to get me one!
*Tyler7776: Don't be silly
*SandraLeigh87: Aww are you sure? Thank you. How long til you get here?
*Tyler7776: I'm leaving work soon
Okay that probably wasn't a very good example, I've witnessed worse. Apparently the key is to know your target well enough to know what to say to illicit the response you want. Dude I'm starting to lose faith in my gender. And all you men who fall for it? Subservience never got the girl. Grow a pair.
u know, i haven't been able to sleep early since arriving here. i usually sleep at like 1 or 2. even if i've woken up at 7am.. its weird, seriously.
and i looooooooove streeeeeeaming.
and free dvd rentals.
haha, i have caught up on the many many many many years of gilmore girls. watched 2 seasons already okay. so fkin addictive. down to the last season which im streaming now. and i'm planning to watch prison break&heroes. yeah, okay i know, so damn outdated, everybody loves heroes, i know. now its my turn to love heroes :) no spoilers please, tho i kinda know a few already. oh well. and ive started to watch this new series samantha who? its by cecelia ahern. hahahaha, i know u love ps i love you, pin. btw, they have that in movie now. and samantha who? is sooooo fkin funny and witty and my new love. go watch! go to abc.go.com.
well, the new eps for the other shows are only gonna start airing in april, with the writer's strike already over. so for now gotta get my dose of tv series somehow.
okay, goodnight
and i should have blogged yesterday, which was 2 hours ago, cause it was the 29th. now i gotta wait 4 fkin years to blog on the 29th of feb. greeeat. hopefully the blog will still be active then. fingers crossed. haha
there's smth with the font, i dunno what it is, always appears different in the blog than what i've chosen in the posting stage. esp the size. do you girls get that?
better that we break

Just to hear you say the simple things
Now waking up is hard to do
And sleeping is impossible too
Everything is reminding me of you
What can I do?
It’s not right, not OK
Say the words that you say
Maybe we’re better off this way?
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break, baby
- maroon 5, better that we break

will be heading to my sister's this weekend.
gonna watch her play a rugby game (finally)
hope she doesnt get too smashed up in the game.
its a home game. so muchos support is needed.
and then going down to napa valley.
just the weekend i need :)
updates on that. later.
ps, N,Y.. dont abandon the blog!! we're all here in the states, now wasn't that the whole purpose of the blog? haha. we have to put the blog into full use, we wont regret writing all this shit down later. im sure of it. love you girlies. till summer :)
For those who do not know, Aunty Cate is Jun's mom.
Even though I only knew her for a year, she always made me feel right at home.
She would always ask me to come over to their house and just spend time, she liked it when there were a lot of people in the house.
One thing I cherish the most is her weekly text messages with quotes from the bible or simply her own words. I still keep every one of them in my phone.
All these things seem so recent, but it has already been a year.
I'm thankful I got to know her.
I hope that she is no longer suffering and is among the angels in heaven, as she believed in that after life.
From a book I've been reading.
"I think that spirits live on, I don't know if its in heaven or if its somewhere else, some other place that I don't even know about. But it doesn't just die. It lives on. Even if its in the hearts of the people we love." - tony parsons, man and boy.
my temporary home.

here's a look at my room.
dorm style, baaaaby
my side
<-- close up of my wall. its like a huge pin board. so i filled it with pics. think there's like 90 or so in there. haha, i know, overboard but it makes my side not look so empty. i didnt bring alot of stuff, so there's not much to fill up my side with. my roommate has a tv, fridge, make up corner, plastic drawers and a whole lot of other shit. ooh, and on the top right corner was the welcome note my roomie stuck on my desk the day i moved in.
<-- roommate's closet
so yeah, this is my place for the next 4 months. its not as crammed as it looks, lotsa walking space in between. pretty cozy. the other girls on the floor are pretty nice, decent, no wild drunk bitches or anything, so all is good in life :)
the campus is not super huge cause its in the middle of downtown, the longest it takes to walk somewhere is prolly 15 mins? and downtown has a whole lot of restaurant, nightclubs and businesses. no shopping mall :( but i guess thats good, i have no control. the mall is a bus away
and i miss home already :/ yeah, everyone prolly knows that by now. haha. i miss my family aloooot, didn't think i'd miss em this much so fast. i think its cause im not used to being this far away from my parents. and of course i miss jun like craaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzy!! and i miss the boys. the boys who are the only people who read our crap. haha.
and i miss the N and Y. u guys never pick up the phone, u guys don't deserve phones. haha
gonna have some CNY gatherings next week, so will post smth abt that, i guess.
don't have a cam yet,thinking of getting one sometime next month, see if i get a job first ;) but its pretty cheap here, can get a gd one for a $150-200..
so, have fun gambling and stuffing yourselves silly.
you too, Y!
it's friday night peeepls and thank god for that!
first week of school's been exciting enough and im guessing this is how it's gonna be for at least a few months. like the other day, i was so psyched to reheat my store bought chicken noodle soup. that's cos the noodles come in star shapes and everything. very cute and super YUMMY. but am still not too sure why i felt so happy.
hungry perhaps? go figure.
well, today was taco & tequila night. ann's friday night tradition maybe? anyway, she invited a few people over and all, seemed like pretty fun guys. but i didnt stay anyway cos i had to go out to get books with arianne, mandy and all. it's been a week of school and i haven't gotten all the books on my syllabus yet! (which is really freaking me out i guess). had to take a bus and walk 5 blocks to get there. expectedly, when i got to the bookstore at dinkydome it was closed. shops close early in spring cos of the cold and all. walked all that way for balls. lmao. bugger it.
then kia called. the malaysian senior who's been a big help to mandy and i all this time. he picked us up from there then we rounded up a few other people and went to kowloon chinese for dinner. besides being just a few blocks away from my place, it's also the best chinese food around. love the tofu there! mmm.. :)
think we ate for a whole 2 hours before we left. got home to beer cans, pita wraps and shot glasses. the party must have moved elsewhere i think. so we watched juno which was totally weird cos the setting was at minnesota and all. ooh, i think bleeker has sexy legs btw. haha.
pictures on sunday ok? pinky promise even! laundry day today. tah!
