i went to retreat this friday with AACF. the turnout was something different especially having different expectations. but it was great!
it was better than last year's and something definitely memorable, something i will be taking with me forever... God is So awesome!
i was one of the Drivers and boy was it tiring to go and come down. i just woke up from my... 3 hour nap? if only it snowed, that would've been awesome!
so many things had happened to me.. not one of those "retreat trtansformations" but something that has really opened my eyes and all...
i'm just looking forward to tomorrow, where i can jus chill, like any other monday... NO SCHOOL FOR ALL OF US! yay!!!!

i'm liking the fact that i can be totally independent and like do things on my own. like working out, going to the market, eating and shopping..I'm cool with that.. like TOTALLY!
but what i'm feeling is like that there really isn't anyone i can Hang out with and be COMPletely be comfortable and get coffee and like have Fun conversations... like i do have Certain people on my mind, but i refrain from calling them up cuz i think i'd be totally interfering with their lives. SERIOUSLY. i'm pretty quiet these days.. i've been pretty tired and just wanting to chill.. ya know?
it's a little frustrating on my part because i don't have this oulet.. to Verbalize what and how i'm feeling. I may have this LOving Roommate (named Linda) but she has a BF and she's busy with her schedule, which stops me from calling her.. when we do call eachoother, we're in class! so basically, we play phone tag on a daily basis.

so it's my mom's 47th Birthday! she's pretty young and i think she still looks Great!!! i get my GOOD LOOKS from her! =P
so she calls me while i'm walking ALL ALONE to AACF and demands y i didn't call her for her birthday! I DID NOT FORGET! i was gonna call her after AACF to wish her a HAPpy BIrthday bc she has church from like 8-10. here's the weird thing is that she thanked me for FLowers... but i DID NOT SEND THEM!
they came wit my DAD's Flower orders... weird... the thing is, i was planning on doing it, but never got around to doing it... so i'm thinking (for all u committed readers)- in the past, i drove Linda and Claud from SChool and i don't remember doing it...
so maybe, i did that again.. while i was asleep, i did it or something... SSSSOO WEIRD. but maybe my dad just ordered it for me. i told my mom that it wasn'tt me.. and maybe she ordered it for herself, and we had a good laugh.
i love my mom!!! it's too bad that i'm not going home this weekend... i'm going to AACF's Winter Retreat. but we already celebrated this past Saturday @ Black ANgus in BUrbank. tthat was nice...
i'm still debating if i shouldd stick with this (LJ) or move o XANGA, becuase everyone else is on there.. i've had XANGA since like june...!!!

so i thought i'd be over this hopeless romantic phase and be "normal" and maybe even bitter to love.. and shut all this Cuddly stuff out...
i take this quiz, and this is what i am... "a cuddle and a kiss on the forehead - you like to be close to your special someone and feel warm, comfortable, and needed"

so i set my alarm for 835am this morning (the 8th) and i woke up at 8am! what the heck! seriously, something is definitely wrong with my sleeping patterns... and then i went to the EAP office to turn in all my stuff! wow! more little mistakes, but it was all good. all a cinch! (omg, that's an OLD WORD!)
since i decided to be good this quarter.. (daniel, keep me accountable!) i went to the library today and studiedd for a GOOD Hour.. very productive. as i was walking out, i saw my good friend calvin who i have seen for what seems like ages. while talking to him, Vince walked by. he just mentioned to me thathe saw me from afar and didn't know who i was, but jus thought my hair was so nice becuase the angle of my head and the sun rays just made it so... picture perfect or something. funny.
while walking back to the Crest, i ran into a girl.. she's from a Cult. she's from the Empire Ministires. STAY AWAY from them! STAY AWAY! being all weaksaauce and STUPID! i gave her my cell # and she's been calling! DAMN! Edwin was like MICHELLE! we told u guys! anyways, AACF's first meeting went Well! lotsa prayer and like the speaker was very... zesty? haha . i can't think of a better word. and i decided to go to retreat... finally. Linda had that one coming. Intuitive girl! =P and stella was HAPPY to know what my decision was. CHI SOng is the speaker. he's an old OMc pastor! he's so awesome. can't wait to see him!
linda and i went to go work out. that's three days in a row for me! YES!
we went into the weight room.. and OMG! i saw my 2ndd Eye Candy EVER @ UCR.. he was in the weight room lifting weights. he just looked GOOD. he was tall, asian, (hard combo) and pretty muscular. i had eye contact with him a couple of times, but i bet he only looked cuz i looked so gross! haha! but yeah, i have another motivation to workout now.. not just to look good, but to see him! YAY! hahaha
i sound so deprived of GOood looking guys.... WHERE ARE THEY???!!! i just don't understand with UCR...
so.. here comes another weekend. Crystal is Leaving for CHina thursday nite.. so as soon as class is done, i'm jetting to LA.. and then... NO PINEAPPLE PARTY FOR ME! =(
i'm just glad that i don't have Friday classes!
then work at 8am on Saturday... geez.. why do i ddo this to myself?!

so today started off really nicely. Claudia and i walked from the crest, bc that's where we park to go onto campus.. and on the way over there, we saw him. we saw HIM! man! what a way to start off the new Quarter, the day. the year! woo hoo! we were all squirmy! haha! i didn't just see him once today... i saw him TWICE! the 2nd time was evern better! i was with jen and we were heading back to the crest to go to costco. he was heading back to campus and they had a little chit chat.. and i heard him talking (nice voice!) and i saw him Smiling. what a Cutie! DREAMY... we had eye contact... but yeah.. nothing else. haha
anyway, back to reality..
claud and i signed, printed and finished most of the EAP Applications today and went to the UV for lunch. we had Tokyo Tony's... let's just say i won't be going there for a while, which is a good thing.. but... bleh!
then went to pick up the transcripts, but only her's.. and that's when i saw HIM with Jen.
we left for Costo with Linda. Man, i was stylin', rollin' in that Truck! i felt like ALl eyes were on moi! haha! i saw some familiar faces today! and that was nice. i saw my jeemmm, Fuchi, yedda and Jeff. so pleasant. it was funny, the first thing that came outta their mouths were, "your HaiR!"
the one thing that i meant to buy at costco, i totally forgot to Buy! o well, i'll buy it in Glendale. then we stopped by MO val Mall to find a shampoo for my streaks to keep it this color. and drove back.
Brenda and MIke stopped by and i gave her her Gift! she liked! =)
MIke was HEcka sore from Snowboarding. funny! they bought some stuff from Cabazon.. i swear, everyone went to cabazon.. ok, just jim, brenda and Mike... but not together...
then i left for LA with Claud. elson and Eric ( we carpooled) around 645. the backseat is surprising very Roomy and COmfy! Dropped the guys off at their place, and then dropped CLaud off at Vero's Place in LA, near my place. man, we gave eachother 3 hugs, and while she was waiting for joy and vero to come out, she gave me her little speech. SHe said not to get my heartbroken, to go workout everyday, not fight with anyone, and get straight a's... =)
then i started crying because i'm gonna miss her sssssooo much! it's just MOre because we see eachother everyday!
she commented that we were like going out and this was our parting. i know it'll only be for like 2 months.. but still... now i'm gonna be so alone...

Claudia, Linda, soowan, Jen, Brent, Davin, micah, Ben, charles, Elson, eric, daniel and me! so turn out was good. it was funny because the guys were telling me about how the waitress was all touchy to them and like.. it was good, personal service. haha! BOYS~ the turn out of it all was great and conversations flowed well.. and.. DAVin.. he was just.. the loudest! haha!
evertime... he'd yelled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" really loud and would scare the crap outta me becuase his voice just projects, and like it's ssssooo loud. Daniel was the first to leave and when he was leaving, once again, davin yelled HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANiel!
then, when Brent and Jen were leaving, he yelled HAPPY BIRHTHDAY JEN AND BREnt! and as they leaving, the next table over yelled happy birthday to them too
haha! STrawberry Lemonade was Good!!!!! davin and i shared a spinach Artichoke dip. i think mine is better! =)

i can't believe it's already 2003. time really flies. all the things that has happened this year... starting last January, until... just Yesterday! so much fun, worries, being down... all emotions! i'm happy with how the year turned out, although there are disappointments, i'm sure it all happens for a reason. all that has made me the person i am RIte NOW.
so last nite, i was invited by my friends to his friend's friend's party. so that would turn out to be a Friend's friend's friend's party. lovely extension of an invitation... it was in South pas. NICE house... cute guys (like 2!)good food and some ok drinks (CHEAP wine, cheap hard liquor, and... pricey Beer).
didn't get drunk or anything, but had fun dancing with some friends. then there was the countdown, and i gave some lovin' to my CLaudia and couple hugs! i swear, i'll never forget that nite because i never saw david dance, and it was fun dancing with him, ALL CRazy! we had our little Disco Routine.. then moved on some WEird thing. i couldn't stop laughing!!! lotsa fun. what a nite of fun!
before all this, i had work.. and my dad got a new Truck. it's a toyota prerunner tacoma (2003) in a silver. we shook on it that we'd switch off. so i'll be rolling in a truck! YEAH BABY!
and.. i had this urgency to get my hair HIghlighted purple... they didn't have purple, so i went with a red called RED Secret. i like! it has a Kelly Rowland look! so i'm stylin'! =P
since it's nEw years, my family stick with the traditions and go to our elders and bow. with that, comes the money!
i think i earned like a little over $100. but none of that will come to me... straight to them BILLs..
anyways, i'll be heading out in the truck with Claudia tomorrow!
she'll be leaving on SUnday MOrning for DC. my GAWD! i'm losing her to DC!!!!
so, another year has come and i'm so excited for this new year. i can't really say i'm ready for what may come cross my path or come my way, but i'm gonna stay open minded as possible, as well as being well grounded with the Friendships that i have, and Cherish! i'm hoping for more new, Good and lasting friendships as well as love... not really romantic, although that would be nice, but other kinds of love. maybe i'll find a passion for doing something beneficial to this world. Who Knows!
what a blessing it is to have the things i have now. God has blessed me immensely in 2002!

quite a day!
i saw like 5 different people in which i hung out with 3 today, for a good chunk of time...
so i had Lunch with Esther in WEstwood @ CPK. it was meant for us to have lunch, because, knowing westwood, you NEVER Find PARKING. NEVER! but there beyond yonder was a parking spot saved for us. then, we get to get seated. 2 seconds later, like 20 people walk in.. we beat the Lunch Rush too. HOw great is that?
afterwards, i dropped her off at work (her last day there because she too will be departing for DC like my dear Claudia!) and then waited for Claudia to arrive! she remade these Tshirts that jim gave me. they are sssoo awesome! and as Claudia would say," they're HOT!" and along with Claudia's presence in my COld, ice box of a house, Joy had accompanied her! they stayed for like half an hour. then another half hour later, Kevin (not the Dreamy one from School that i drool over- haha) came by and picked me up to go eye shopping. he had to make sure i didn't buy anything while he went looking for stuff. so some reason, i was ssssooo drained! we went to Beverly Center, and to the Grove... we both didn't buy anything (worked out well). then we cruised randomly... and then i got All weird and starting like spazzing out and singing random songs... and he opened the windows and locked them open, and i just kept on going crazy. Strange energy comes along when ur Hecka tired. he dropped me off around 6:30ish. then, due to prior engagements, i had dinner with Crystal on Larchmont @ le Petit Greek. we ate til we were stuffed! we both had HUGE FETA salads, in which i had Chicken in mine.. and GOod Appetizers. she could've ordered wine, now that she's 21 and all.. but she didn't. Darn. i drove and showed my new ride to her.. afterwards, we chilled at my place for while, and then she left.
dude... what a day!
now i have work @ 8am... how the heck am i gonna wake up by 7? dude...
well, how's all this for my attempt at being a social Butterfly? thumbs up? down? eh? haha

on the eve of CHristmas, i realized how sad our world has become.. HOmelessness has increased 19% throughout the U.S. it's so sad, especially because of the weather getting colder, and as well as the HOlidays approach. i just didn't really see it as much until i watched the news and realized how thankful i should really be. being a college student, and having a job.. i am very thankful.
i think i literally read my book ALL DAY, which was nice. i'm so into it! later that evening i went to claud's to deal with bills, and although we did do that, the majority of my stay consisted of her re-making my tshirts into a halter top and something else. She also gave me a little somethin' somethin', along with one of the best and interesting cards written. i was so touched. i love you Claud.
afterwards, i went to my cousins' place to drop off gifts for them. Stayed there a while too, catching up with the oldest, who is 2 years younger than i am, and then left around Midnite.
On Christmas morning, i woke up around 1030am, and realizing that it was time to open and give presents, i went ahead and woke my tired brother up and gave our parents' gifts together. =) then my brother gave me mine. CUte.
i went to OMC for Christmas Service with Grace, and we were fashionably late (not a good thing on this day, but i'm trying to make it seem nice). The message was about having and wanting joy in our lives. Why wouldn't be want joy in our lives? STupid people who always think that being unhappy would add an edge to their lives. Take a GOOD Look around and see all the good things that you have in your life.
after service was over, many people from our past were there as well. it was nice, yet awkward, realizing that many have indeed changed, either in appearance or personality. i was indifferent of the people there mostly. i went to Grace's for a Christmas Lunch and just chilled until around 3ish. we felt like we were there FOREVER! we went to the Grove to check out a movie. this was the first time that i went to see a movie on Christmas day. we had 3 choices: MAId iN Manhattan, Two WEeks notice, and my Big Fat Greek Wedding. ALL 3 were sold out, but we were not surprised. Moving Westward, we went to COnnection (haven't been there for AGES!) and watched 2 weeks Notice. the movie was really cute and gave me hope love will find its way to me. (HOPELESS, i am, indeed)
dropped her off, and came home. That was the first movie i saw in like 2 months!
i was hungry, but i didn't eat, really. which means, i didn't have a Christmas DInner... or any dinner! o well, i'm not bitter. we were all home that nite and we all just sat around doing random things. I of course hid in my room and read the rest of the nite, and finally finished the book, and closed it with teary eyes. My my, what a good book.
and that was how my Christmas eve and CHristmas day was spent.
and tonight, i get to work from 6pm- 12 midnite.

i had such an exciting day yesterday!
i went MORE SHOPPING and i'm guilty of buying some stuff for myself! BAD MICHELLE!
o well, i needed a mini- break from it all.. but of course, i bought these jeans for me from the GAP!
went to go and work out at the Hollywood Y.. i forgot a lot of things.. like my sports bra (that's important), and my shampoo and COnditioner! (argh) i ran anyway with what i had and showered without the Shampooing. (don't worry, i washed my hair later)
all day i awaited my Hot date with grace.. we went to Larchmont and ate at Prado Restuarant. Good stuff. my second time, and her first. we talked for hours over dinner of all the things that has happened to us over the last 4 months... starting with all my drama.. then her's! Her's was about Madrid and how horrid it was for her because the program just sucked! Poor girl! she suffered a lot. She went with no expectations and to be shot down even with that... must've been horrible...!!!
she was telling me that she's not used to people speaking in English and when she's spoken to, she's caught off guard because it isn't spanish. HIlarious. she told me that she was so close to having a COMPLETELY SPANish conversation with me. She got me gifts from EUrope. Very cute and beautiful things!
=) she got my Lavender tinted pearl earrings, a pink pouch, and like Lip blam.
after dinner, knowing that she is indeed my Boba Buddy, we went to relaxtation in Westwood for boba. the drinks weren't as good that nite, but conversation was Great as usual. i dropped her off around 12ish. i came home and read my book. it's called The Absence of the Sun, by Helie Lee. Great AUthor. this is the continuation from her First book, Still life with Rice.
anyways, i have to run more errands today, and complete my shopping... i MUST!
i must find that passport Application for EAP...

but it's funny because it was so chill today. Customers just wanted to do their own thang, which iS FINE with me and everyone else at work! i was supposed to go see Lord of the RIngs II with some co-workers.. but didn't work out. I haven't even seen the first one! so i'd probably be lost anyway. that last movie that i watched was... THE RING! damn! that's a long TIME ago.. and that was with my co-workers as well~
hmm...
i had Dinner with my mom tonight. we had sushi! it was funny bc we were talking about how my brother is so not sophisticated.. haha! and like she thinks the girl(s) that might be his Girlfriends won't be all that.. and that we won't like them very much. I never do... =P i'm just being the Mean, Older sister.. ya know, i gotta keep that kinda front. We ate a LOt! this is twice in once week that i had sushi! WOW!
Grace is back! yay! i might hang out with her like tomorrow nite.. or monday nite. but monday nite, i might go clubbing with my younger Cousin from Glendale to Club Rewind...? never heard of it.. never been.. but i'm really not in a clubbing mood.. so i just might like cancel.. in which i'd feel terrible about!
i can't believe CHristmas is RITE AROUND THE CORNER! i'm still not done...
hm, i think i'll go to Amoeba Music and buy a couple CD's.. i never buy CD's... FOR MYSELF! i have a gift certificate that almost a year old! i better hurry up and use it!
i went to like 2 small little gatherings THurs nite! that was fun! the 1st one was one of my co-worker's CHristmas party. i didn't stay too long. I had a Hard Limonada... pretty good. the funniest things we toasted to! haha~
then to my Friend's @ucla.. and toasted to... almost being 21... and.. Friendships.. and.. LOW tolerance. haha. then just crashed there. Fun stuff!
anyway, my winter break is cool... NOthing Crazy, but just fun things here and there. i don't have the energy to do CRAZY THINGS.. but Fun things!
