im going to sound bonkers…

but why do people study for finals anyway?!

this is how i see it:
-you probably won’t remember much of the material that you’re studying for anyway (unless you need to immediately apply it to your next exam/next course/career/life)
-grades won’t matter unless you pass (unless you are applying for a graduate school). i mean, your future employers isn’t going to ask to see your grades. the fact that you have your diploma or a certficiate that proves you completed the program is sufficient.
-it stresses you out and makes you break out! (to be truthful i can’t think of a convincing third reason).

yeah iono. im lazy and im trying to think of reasons not to study. and if i am able to convince othe rpeole too then i wont feel so guilty about not studying. tahahhaha

wordpress changed.

i don’t know what the wordpress reader sees, but for the wordpress writer, this site has changed.

i don’t like it when sites do that. about a couple weeks ago facebook pulled the same thing: they changed their site. when i was going through my account information and account settings i found it hard to navigate.

when i returned to xanga after abandoning it for over a year, i didn’t even know what to do anymore. everything changed.

the only thing constant is change.

and this makes me wonder: what will happen when i come back from japan after 8 months and all my friends have changed and i can no longer communicate with them? what if my leave causes rifts in our relationships? what if i’ve changed?

i don’t like change. can you tell?

everytime i order food from a restaurant i never step outside of my comfort zone. i always order the same thing. i am loyal to what i like. but this is food. food cannot make judgements and reject me.

but people can.

will i stay among the same circle of friends when i come back? will i talk to the same peeps as i always do? will i be able to tell liss every second of my life? or will she find someone else to do that? will my baby cousins even remember me after i come back? or will they forget?

oh yeah.
on friday i went to the police station after procrastinating for 3 weeks. it costed $60 to get a criminal records check! SIXTY-DOLLLARS, HOLLLARRRR!!

i wonder why saving money is so hard. i wonder.

 

ill.

Gat. i hate being sick. nothing tastes good and i am restricted from eating so many things. i know some people just eat whatever they want when they are sick, but my family has always taught me otherwise. you can’t eat spicy stuff that may provoke the throat, cold stuff, fried stuff, greasy stuff, etc. i must stick with plain wholesome food.

anyway, i felt so restricted at my sister’s birthday party. we went to ebisu and i wanted to eat raw oysters, so for the first ten minutes i watched everybody else eat it. i stayed back and watched. and then i couldn’t contain myself so i grabbed one and slurped it up. yum. i hope it was worth it. ALSO it was a friday, so i couldn’t eat red meat. so not only could i not eat cold (although i already disobeyed this rule), spicy, fried, greasy food but i could not eat red meat.

my fault for getting sick.

i just want to put it out there…i think it’s pretty rad that my sister invited me to her birthday dinner amongst her friends. how often does your sibling invite you to their birthday dinner with all her other friends when they’re in high school?! this must mean i am cool enough by high school standards. and that’s pretty cool in my books.

i am going to gulp down some cough and cold medicine. perhaps some neocitran? or buckley’s? i wonder if there are side affects for mixing medicines…

love ya later!

when i first heard i was going to japan…

…i expanded my work availability so that i would receive more shifts and rake in more dough! but a few days later i changed it back. why?

well, who ever looks back in retrospect on their life and goes: oh geez, i wish i spent my youth working more.
or do they go: i wish i spent more time with my family and friends.

i don’t want to be homesick in japan and wish i spent more time with my family and friends. because i doubt i will be homesick in japan and wish i took more shifts. it’s a possibility…but i highly doubt it.

which is why i am so excited for this weekend!
i am going to go to paintballing…work (but with winnie there it will be a hoot)…go out for fondue…work on my essay (ugh) AND MAYBE perhaps go out on sunday night.

ooh tomorrow i start my first japanese lesson! it will be exciting!!!

but what i am most excited for is bowling night tomorrow. im setting lisa up with this guy…bwhahahha.

sidenote**
lisa watched oprah yesterday and apparently…there was this guy who broke their penis in half while engaged in intercourse.
lisa says: you know, you can break your penis in half if you do sex wrong.
justin goes: how do you do sex WRONG?
- if you miss and hit a wall
- how does it break in half? the law of physics say..well, for example if i stick this fork into a wall it will puncture the wall. the fork won’t break in half.
- well is your penis made out of steel?

so guys, be careful. sex is dangerous. not only can it expose you to stds or cause unwanted pregnancy but you can break your penis in half! so the lesson is: DONT HAVE SEX.

love ya later,

i haven’t painted in my nails for so long…

…i totally surprised myself by doing such a kick grass job tonight!
i mentioned how work chips my nails and at one point, i even comtemplated whether or not i should quit because it was really ruining my cuticles. no jokes. and my hands would always get dry so i would have to continuously reapply hand cream.

anyway, i have really small hands. i think my youngest sister (12 yrs old) have the same size hands as mine, but my pinky is shorter. it’s kinda strange. i have really small hands and feet. anyway, sometimes my hands would be so soft i’d hold hands with myself (it’s basically clasping hands together). anyway, it feels empty when i hold hands with myself. like there’s no meat. no flesh. it’s all skin and bones. and i’m not even skinny! my hands are just anorexic. seriously, they feel so weird to hold. i guess i can’t have a monorelationship with myself!

2 more sleeps until thestylespy event!!!

i am really losing myself…

…i have practically lost myself i can’t control my eating habits!
everything is so yummy and so thereeeeeeee…

anyway!

there are a few things i am looking forward to:

monday the 10th: cuts for cancer, but mostly my mc-ing for the event. last year was such a blast i hope to have even more fun this year! but last year i did it by myself, this year i am being paired up with someone else…so we’ll see how it goes.

wednesday the 12th: chicken wings for 24cents each at oscar’s. if i am not too swamped with hwk and tired from work we are going to double date! it will be interesting to see how kale and nicholas interacts.

friday the 14th: FABULOUS NIGHT hosted by thestylespy.com!! since there inst really a dress code…i am going to dress up! bwhahaha because i haen’t really dressed up in awhile. we will all arrive in our timeless swagger. yay!

mmm that’s about all. the rest of this month will be boring.

xox

 

“i went on your blog and you haven’t mentioned japan at all!”

says liss. my, my, i didn’t even know you read my blog!
anyway, yes dear reader, i will be leaving for japan around the 7th, 8th, or 9th of may. and i am not quite sure of my return date…probably some time in late december.
I AM SO FREAKIN’ EXCITED!!!!!

at first i was very, very, very nervous and apprehensive about this endeavor. going to japan for 8 months…to teach english…in a foreign country? holy cow.

goooooooood lord.

right now i am collecting documents, pictures, making photocopies to prepare for my visa application. i am totally doing this. i am even starting to look at flight rates.

today ittti japan sent me a comprehensive package about all the frequently asked questions and how i can prepare for japan. THIS IS SO OVERWHELMING.

anyway im going to head out now and develop photos! i haven’t developed any photos since…early october. i need to delete them off of my camera.

i’ll tell you more about japan very soon, dear reader!

love ya later,

im eating cheesecake right now…

…because it’s my mama’s birthday-day! horrah.

anyway, i’d just like to share everyone my golden rule: if you can’t use contractions properly don’t use them at all!

you have no idea how anal i get when i notice someone using improper contraction. i notice it as if the words were bolded, underlined and flashing with neon lights. i catch mistakes pretty instinctively. yup! im not going to lie, i’m pretty gifted. haha.

i just want to say  that it is YOU’RE welcome not YOUR welcome.
YOU’RE means you Are, YOUR means belonging to you.
same goes with THEY’RE and THEIR.
and what bothers me is people who misuse WHOSE and WHO’S.
come on, people!
think about it: if it doesnt make sense without contractions why would it make sense with contractions?
ex. whose that girl?
does this make sense!? does it?! not really…

OH and people who say: would of. ex. i would of gone to the store but i rained so i didnt. 
now, the proper contraction is: would’ve. i would’ve gone to the store…

and just to clarify because A LOT of people say this on msn…
it’s GOOD NIGHT and definitely not GOODNIGHT
do you ever say GOODMORNING?

yeah, i dont think i can be compatible with people who don’t know how to use their contractions. i definitely wont be able to be friends with them. heck i probably cna’t even look at them in the face! which is why i’m so glad my close friends are competent in distinguishing between proper contractions and all those syntax rules.

i just want to put it out there…
you think i don’t notice when you make a little oopsies? well i do!

–contractually anal. (is that a word?)

 

indignant.

i have been stuck at home for the past 5 days, and all i wanna do is out go. is that so much to ask? except NO ONE wants to go out with me.
they are either…out of the country, preparing to leave the country, at work, believe i need to ‘rest’ (what bull), have other plans, or they made up some other lame excuse.

so im feelnig indignant and bitter. rawr.

 

this is going to be the worst winter break yet…

…and no im not being pessimistic.

so there are 4 people i call often. two of those are in asia right now. boo. and then i get a text msg from liss last night telling me that she’s probably going to california this winter break to visit her grandma. DOUBLE-YOU TEE EFF?! im sure she’ll have an amazing time…but this means i’ll only have hyundai to talk to. and he’s not even always available! this has got to be the lonliness winter break in the history of winter breaks!

TIME TO MAKE NEW BEST FRIENDS! but i like the ones i have now…

so you know what’s irritating?!
when people ask me what i wnat for christmas.
you know what’s super irritating?!
when people ask me what i want for christmas on facebook. how impersonal.

i mean, isnt giving a gift about ‘the thought that counts’ if you’re not going to put any effort and thought into it, what’s the point of getting me anything? for the gesture? well doenst asking me what i want defeat the purpose? plus, it makes me feel greedy and ungrateful when i tell someone what i want. do you want me to feel greedy and ungrateful?!

anyway, another reason why this holiday will suck is because i’m getting my wisdoms extracted tomorrow morning. it will definitely be a chipmunk christmas! i know i’ll miss out on a lot of delicious holiday food…oh well, at least i dont have to worry about maintaining my weight! bwhaha

im going to sign off now before i become even more unlikable…
–bitter and miserable
