| I wanted to start off with something profound...but I'm drawing a blank. This summer is going to be very busy, but fun, I hope. Having a hard time dealing with people, in general. I only end up beating myself over things that have already happened and how I could've done it all different/better. I suck at dealing with people...maybe that's why I don't have very many friends. Making a fool out of myself isn't fun, especially when I figure out I'm being that way, after the fact. I apologize to anyone/everyone who has had to dealt with this in some way or another...really sorry. Having family from different states come to and stay at the house for the next 2-3 weeks. Haha, cramming close to 30 people in the same house...at least we have more than one bathroom xD. It's gonna be cool. First sets are coming tomorrow. Yay! VYC III is taking place from July 3rd to 5th @ CSULB. Maybe I can get a look at the Japanese Garden I heard/learned about in my History of Garden Art class last Fall. We were supposed to have gone on a field trip, but it never happened because the prof was in poor physical condition. No idea how the Conference gonna be, which is good because if I had high expectations...I might get disappointed. Well, two things that always bring a smile to my face are my iPod and video games xD. Well, speaking of my iPod...before my family and grandparents on my dad side went on this weeklong bus tour, Preston got me psyched to get some old Pokemon songs so we can listen to them. Haha, totally one of his best ideas yet. On the bus, we would rotate seats. We listened to them when it was our turn to sit at the way back. We were laughing, singing-along, and talking about the old times (Pikachu's Jukebox and the Pokerap). The 90s were the best =]. I found out that I memorized most of the songs even though it's been years since I heard them. I love my s.s.a. brother...not to say that I don't love my other two brothers, but they didn't really experience what we did. Anyhow, he's awesome and definitely one of the best of the best friends I have. Oh shnaps, I have more than one best friend (?)!! Heheheh, Disneyland! Bus tour was from June 17th to 23rd...and I went from CA to NV, UT, CO, WY, ID, MT, and SD...I could have sworn there was one more...the tour guide said 9, counting CA...but I keep getting 8. Well, I'll update later if it's wrong, haha. I think CO was my favorite, definitely going there again and then I can visit Focus on the Family. Ok, I feel better now =]. | | |

|   This guy was lonely and so he decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. He went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion he finally bought a centipede, which came in a little white box. He took the box home and found a good location for it on a shelf. He decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the bar for a drink.
So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to Frank's place with me and have a beer?"
Silence...there was no answer from his new pet. This bothered him a bit. He waited a few minutes and then asked him again, "How about going to the bar and having a beer with me?" Again there was no answer, nothing but silence came from his new friend and pet. So, again he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation and decided to ask him one more time. This time, he put his face up against the centipede's box house and shouted "Hey in there! Would you like to go to Frank's place and have a beer with me?"
(YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS) A little voice came out of the box..."I heard you the first time, I'm putting my shoes on!" | | |
| Hm, just something to think about for the new year ^_^.
Put The Glass Down
A lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress management. He raised a glass of water and asked the audience,
"How heavy do you think this glass of water is?"
The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500gm.
"It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."
"If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later,
we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier."
"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again."
We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on. So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can. Pick it up again later when you have rested...
Rest and relax.

| Shweet shinanigans! I'm done with Fall Quarter 2008!!! I'm so FREEEEE...
The parental units and grandparents flew to Seattle this morning...I had to drive them. So now it's just me and my three lil' bros, and I get to drive them to school, pick them up, cook dinner, do the housework, have them accidentally call me "Mom" from time to time, play HOTEL DUSK, fangurl about ARASHI and anime stuff, watch Asian dramas, and procrastinate on other responsibilities to my heart's content. I noticed I didn't put exercise/go to the gym in my list...I'm so lazy. I think I did ok this quarter. That TOM 301/Operations Management class was killing me until my professor showed me the grading scale. Apparently, although I didn't get full credit on all my homework assignments and got a C, D-, and A- on three exams ...I have an A- in the class o.0...it was optional to take the final. I took it anyway, and I think I got like a 50% at best...thank God he drops the lowest test grade. I freakin' hope I have As in my other classes...otherwise, my GPA is gonna crash.
Hehe, I have a rant to do...but I gotta take my bro to guitar class. Be baack laterr. ;]
Edit: Okay, so I'm back to start/finish my rant. Well, not really. Just noting to myself how I'm hypocritical and don't watch how badly I act with other people in times of stress...Well, like...if I consider certain people to be my "friends", I should be content in speaking with them whenever and meeting them randomly around campus. Can I still consider them friends if I'm only happy to see/talk to them sometimes? Like...when I'm in a good mood? How is it that I complain about them behind their backs, but can still smile in front of them? If they are always calling me to complain about their lives and don't do anything about it, am I considered a "friend" or a "free and inexperienced psychiatrist/therapist"? If I give them advice and they never take it, can I be annoyed? When I talk and it looks like they are hearing words coming out of my mouth but don't listen to what I'm saying, can I be upset? I call this "a moody friendship". I've never had that before...well, I did, but it was with some girl back in high school. I've only had 2 occurrences so far...and it's not pretty. Man, I'm horrible. These lyrics fit perfectly ("Your Friend" by Ferris Save):
I don't wanna have to be your friend
I'm so tired of trying to be your friend
I don't wanna have to be your friend no anymore
Well it really doesn't matter what i say
'Cuz you're never gonna listen to me anyway...
you need a helping hand
someone who understands
your begging and pleading
but this time I'm not dealing
'cuz I've walked this road with you
too many times before
and I've realized now
that this is not what I want anymore...
