realize.
When you can’t seem to carry your own load and it starts to show, the people who truly care are the ones constantly asking if they can help. If you respond “no,” they still stick by your side even without obligation. I have my few, but I love my friends.
How is it possible to feel so insecure about so many aspects of my life right now? I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy.
humbled.
After this weekend, I found myself reflecting on my drive back to OC. I’m incredibly lucky to have a handful of close girl friends that I can depend on, act natural around & not be judged, create memories with, and just laugh with.
I keep people who are two-faced, shady, and untrustworthy at a distance. Call me your “friend” if you think I am; I won’t be two-face,...

I really dislike girls who talk smack. I have an even greater dislike for groups of mindless girls who partake in smack talking…drop the attitude, bitches.
This is why the number of female friends I have has dwindled down throughout the years…it’s hard to trust my own kind. Those who remain are the best of the best and actually have hearts. Love MY girls.

Regardless of the discussions, I still have a seed of doubt. It breaks my heart to even think this way, but I guess it’s my defense in some kind of odd way. I’d like to say “I’ll get over it” like I do with other things that bother me, but I can’t force myself to believe that because of my intuition.
epic summer.
I’m still trying to get into normal mode after my first international trip. I had the time of my life with the love of my life, touring Europe and grubbing to our hearts’ content. I still can’t believe how quickly 3.5 weeks went by and now I’m counting down to school. Ugh. Before I start sulking in my class syllabi, capstone project requirements, and tons of reading,...

sometimes I believe that you wonder about the “shoulda, coulda, woulda” more than you think of me…it shows in your actions because when it comes to words, you know exactly what to say.

ups & downs
What I’ve been noticing is that the transition period between college and the real world [whether that’s grad school, employment, or whatever] is the most strenuous. Not only are my parents breathing down my neck, but I really must consider the end result of the choices that I make today. There is a huge gap between my passion for learning and what I’d like to do compared to...

coming to an end
I have just returned to my Sacramento apartment after being absent for 2.5 weeks. It was nice :P I had a lot of fun and I can say that my summer is almost complete. Within the 2.5 weeks I was able to spend quality time with my [long-distance] boyfriend, visit me parents & family in SoCal, revive a couple high school friendships, eat delicious food, see Boyz II Men, and most...
can I hit rewind?
I miss my school, classmates, and college life. The department I graduated from just emailed the Picasa link to our end-of-the-year banquet and I have to say, as impractical as my major is, I love it.
I loved my professors and classmates and all the knowledge I obtained has stuck with me. From abstract ways of thinking to hard facts, I remember it all. This is the first time I’ve been...
once more
Every weekend when I return to my internship site in Sacramento, after a 2 hour drive on a scene-less highway, I can’t help but reflect upon the days that just disappeared. Even when I spend my days cooking, shopping, walking aimless, or eating with Marc, time literally flies by and I find myself back in my apartment. I’m usually greeted by a lifeless housemate studying for GRE,...

sorry mujer, I accidently pressed enter too soon. hahah but yes, #4 can translate to “awkward” for you sometimes…and myself as well.
The one thing I love about myself is the abilty to gain people’s trust through cooking (especially if it’s not my kitchen). Weird as it may sound, if people trust you enough to ingest your food and genuinely enjoy it, there is no...

Enough is enough - and you feel that you’ve had enough for a while. You don’t need any more battles. You just would like to be able to shout ‘stop’ and experience a little peace and calm - even if it be only for a little while. This doesn’t mean that you need to cut yourself off from the rest of the world...
Suckramento
When I found out that I was accepted into an internship program in Sacramento, I was incredibly excited to experience a new city. Unfortunately, this has been nothing like what I expected. All my friends have said, “it’s okay, you’ll be home soon” or “it’ll be a good experience! it’s only 10 weeks!” I should have taken their warnings about Sucktown...

I’m at a point where I’m comfortable and content, but it’s only going to last 2 more months. I’ll have to decide my moves wisely and practically, without compromising my passions and personal happiness. I had a heart-to-heart with one of my closest guy friends and he’s in a rut too, but he’s 6 years older. It difficult to see someone who is successful in...

You just can’t teach lessons to some people…even if it’s out of their own experience and you’re putting things into perspective for them. I’ve been trying to console a friend (alongside my roommate who’s abandoned me for the weekend lol) and she just doesn’t see the situation like us. It’s tough, I can imagine, because there are so many other...

see ya laters
I totally miss the man-man. It was about a thousand times harder to say “see ya soon” when I left this time. I physically felt my heart drop every time I cried (yeah, tough girl here cries…for a boy nonetheless. crazy). He doesn’t sweet talk or anything to provoke the crying, in fact, he cracks jokes to stop me from crying. Doesn’t work. It just makes me miss him...

songs 58 - 81 are keeping me from pulling my hair out. damn midterms.
fatty study break
I didn’t want to repost facts on Facebook cuz there’s too much tagging going on. ahaha I did one with 16 before also, but I was bored. So here it goes! New info.
type in 25 random facts about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. Tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because someone tagged me and as a result we can all now know more about each...
pretty people…don’t be fooled.
this is a man. a hot ladyman.
I woke up early to prep for the Superbowl (I made salt&pepper shrimp w/an asian garlic citrus dip), but I got sidetracked and started to clean out my bookshelf. I threw a bunch of stuff away and looked at old papers, etc. Then I found this…
(the top one is not mine lol) It reminded me of my 21st birthday weekend…ahhh good times.
I’m not even old, but I feel old. I...

I can’t stop playing this song (along with about 5 others). Calming and upbeat. This week flew by and I can’t wait for the next to pass. Granted I have lots of work to be done, I’m looking forward to trip in 2 weeks : ]
I’m praying that I get the internship. Otherwise, I don’t know what I’m going to do during the summer besides work. *sigh
