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

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!
Hypothetic scenario : You're at home and your 18 year old daughter's car breaks down and won't start as she's sending her brother to the hairdresser, a mere 2 miles away from the house. She says it's out of gas/ the battery's dead. You pick her up, maybe with a couple gallons of gas in hand but bottom line, you pick her up.
Real life scenario : You're at home and your 18 year old daughter's car breaks down and won't start as she's sending her brother to the hairdresser, a mere 2 miles away from the house. She says it's out of gas/ the battery's dead. You tell her to keep warm because it's freezing and wait for her stepdad, who is in a meeting 5 states away and therefore unavailable, to call with advice. You refuse to pick her up saying the car cannot be abandoned. Said daughter waits for over an hour, frantically trying to call the anyone and everyone in the household to no avail. Finally realizing she's not getting any help from home front, she calls her friend who drives 20 minutes to pick her up. Said friend takes her home to get that tank of gas, pours the gallon of gas that's left, only to realize the battery died so he jump starts her car then drives it to get filled. All this while your mechanically inept daughter stands idly by trying not to get in the way of saviorism in the process. When your daughter goes out to dinner with said friend to thank him, you complain that she's never with her family enough.
Understandably, your daughter would be thinking, What the fuck?
Anyways, tonight is Leah's 21st Birthday and she's one of my close friends here, she's throwing a party in Denton about an hour away so Laur, Breaune, Brandon and I are going, it'll be an all-nighter then we'll head back in the morning cuz I've got work at 12pm! Since it's her 21st, Rylie -her boyfriend and our close friend- shipped in a couple bottles of Absinthe so it should be interesting lol.
Laur's new tat
more than four walls and a door
0 comments Published by sonkey mpankers on Sunday, November 25, 2007 at 7:58 PM I realized I didnt show you what my room looks like! I havent taken pics of the whole room, so for now, just the walls? :) I LOVED painting it.. You know how I am, it was mostly very what-i-feel-right-now and I made it mixed media, adding pictures of my life- of you all and stuff here, and the desk cover I salvaged from my Form Five days<3
The lady in red I painted because it's what I felt at the time, it was/is a representation of passion i guess.. vibrantly RED.. and I added the dark shadows to it to not only because the figure demanded it but cuz I like a bit of a dark edge to everything.. my life, my book, my music, my clothes..
The Poetry.. of course, is my own. I didnt paint the whole piece on the wall but I intend to continue it on a different wall. The painting below the butterfly- C, Y, remember that day in art class? lol I gotta say, we made alot of great shit in that class. I dont know why I signed my name on that painting in pink though....
hell yeh the bday girl's allowed to change her dress twice
