Spring Break

Spring break was a blast this year. Spent lots of money, got fat, shopped, ate nonstop, slept like a baby!

Saturday, Peter and I ate lunch at wendy’s and shopped at target. We decorated my house and my room $100

Sunday, peter and I ate at Lee’s sandwiches. Their pate chaud is really good, when warm and their sandwiches are good and cheap. I think that the only bad thing about vietnamnese sandwiches is that the vegetables are weird. I like lettuce better. I would rather much prefer lettuce over cilantro and carrots and turnip. We also ate at the cute little section with the fake buildings and stuff. Seemed like it came right out of a movie!

Monday, I went shopping. Spent alot of money.

On tuesday, peter and I ate dinner at maxim’s and ate lunch at mtsac. I visited him for the whole day and he was very productive. We also established a new secret joke. furry.furry furry FURRRY

Wednesday, hung out with tallsomes. Ate at chopchop girll. The katsu chicken curry was very good and well worth it for the price. Then after, janet had to leave for class so cindy and i watched penelope and picked up annie. penelope is now one of my favorite movies. Such a cute story even though it’s so fairy-tal-ish

Thrusday, Peter and I went to gameworks in Ontario Mills and we rode on that big ride (the one that I’ve always wanted to try). Anyways, that was fun and pretty cheap. We’re also getting about 40 credits for free, which means we can ride on that ride 4 times for free. It was scary though…I screamed throughout the whole ride because it’s so simliar to one of those freefall rollercoaster things. I also went shopping at forever 21 and we had cookies and a smoothie.

Friday, Peter and i tried ihop for the first time. It was good and now I know why people rave about it so much. I also realized that i don’t like butter on my pancakes. But I do like country sauce. And I like that drink that Peter ordered..so good. Then he went with me to get a haircut. We were early so we shopped around and smelled the beautiful, smelly aroma of stinky tofu. My favorite. After my haircut, peter and I drove to brea where we pickedup his mommy and then peter and i went to yummy house to meet up with danni and alex for a double date. Yummy house was okay. I was actually really surprised that the four of us finished everything on the table. I didn’t eat too much so the food didn’t disappear because of me…Afterwards, peter and I got coldstones and I had to go home. Coldstones is really becoming like yogurty now….

saturday, went to monterey park/rosemead area for some really good chinese food. Fried squid is one of my favorite dishes now. With lots of pepper of course. Oh, and I think I figured out the recipe for chicken cream corn soup or whatever. I will try it out one day and peter chien will be my experiment hehehehe Then after, Peter and I went biking for like two hours to the point where my butt hurt from siting on the bike. It was fun though since I haven’t felt the wind like that and haven’t gone so fast in a long time. Driving is not the same as biking. I think i biked over cheese… We also pigged out at cherry on top and saw some ugly girls who thought they were hot.

Sunday, Peter and I went to church and after, went to lunch with Jason and Thomas. The whole conversation was very much dota-fied. Thanks peter for talking to me about other things and making sure that I wasn’t about ready to kill.

happy about grades

Finals Week

I’m such a lucky girl. I spent finals week with my boyfriend!

I had only two finals this quarter. Chem on wednesday and calc on saturday (so sad, i know). Anyways, I stayed at riverside this whole week until saturday. Peter came over on wednesday night and slept over until saturday. And he brought me presents! He got me a lot of really cute picture frames that we ended up putting around my room (and now my room looks better). He also bought me a belated birthday card that said:

What’s the difference between a big birthday party and having a night out with me?…You can have me more than once a  year.

haha. Hrmmm I love studying next to him while he games. And, he actually didn’t distract me from studying because I did really well on my finals. I really enjoyed this week because I felt like Peter and I got closer through alot of bonding and through alot of talking. I liked the discussions that we had at night about concepts in life, about God, about the future, about ourselves, and about our past. I think it helped us open ourselves up more to each other and I felt like I developed a better sense of security and trust.

On saturday after my final, Peter and I went back to Corona and ate at wendys and shopped at target. Bought alot of stuff to fill the house with for my mom. Then we played a lot of games .

Sunday: Woke up to drive to walnut for church. It rained sooo bad for awhile (around montclair)to the point where I couldn’t see anything on the freeway. I had my high beams on and I still couldn’t see if there was a car in front of me or not. I couldn’t see the signs. All I saw was black and white fog and water everywhere. I was going 40 miles per hour and was scared to death. And I’m not kidding- this was the scariest drive ever. And whenever I braked, even if I braked gently, I could feel my car swerve. I saw three accidents along the way. The accident around diamond bar blvd exit was so bad that there were firemen trying to get the person out of his car. The whole car was split in HALF. Anyways, I’m so glad that I’m safe. I feel more confident now but the whole time during churh sermon, I felt like a walking zombie because i was still shaking and afraid from my drive. what normally takes me a 20 minute drive took an hour.

Anyways, after church, Peter and i went to eat at Lee’s sandwiches in Yes Plaza. We ate in the little section where there are fake buildings with cute tables under umbrellas (kinda like a date scene in a movie). Their vietnamnese sandwiches are really good! Also, try their paute chaud.

Western Union, Wire money, SCAMS!

So recently, I received a email from someone on facebook with an empty profile. He wanted to buy a book that i was selling on Facebook Marketplace. He told me that after he sent me a cashier’s check, that I would deduct the money, cash it in, wire it through western union, something something, have his shipping company pick it up..blah blah. Immediately, I was like WHOA. I told him I wasn’t selling the book anymore (cause I got scared) and he INSISTED that he would pay me extra and that he was trustworthy. yeah….right.

I just searched on google and you have no idea how many related cases there are about these “deducting shipping money, western union, wiring money, shipping company come pick up” crap.

So, the deal is that…the cashier’s check these people send to you are FAKE. A few days after you cash it in, after you’ve shipped out your item or whatever, you realize that the check is FAKE from…bank notice, I assume and then you’re responsible for paying money.

I hate how there are people like this out there, who are so dirty and who pry on cheating people off their money.

DON’T TRUST THIS.
From now on, when I sell books on facebook, the person will have to be from UCR so then I can PERSONALLY MEET THEM& GET THE MONEY STRAIGHT UP.

10 Things Boyfriends should know about their Girlfriends by Sumo

Honestly, these ten things are pretty shallow, materialistic, whatever…
But, I do think that it applies to many many girls. While reading this, some girls will be “wow, that’s not me. Dude, this sumo is so messed up…so demanding and superficial/whatnot.” But… really, think this thoroughly or maybe, just get a boyfriend then you’ll realize that this is very true.

1. When a girl doesn’t talk as much as she normally does…(her answers are curt, and aren’t sugar coated), it means something’s wrong. She’s mad, jealous, frustrated, thinks you don’t get it…or all of the above. give her time…most likely, she’ll hint what it is that’s bothering her.
2. When you are unable to do something the first time, she expects you to be able to do it the next time. If not, you fail. If you forget to buy her a present for her birthday and you still don’t the next year, she’s thinking “what the heck..” ESPECIALLY when you buy ANOTHER girl a present for her birthday.
3. Every girl likes flowers. Yes, they’re a waste of money…but it’s okay if you waste your money on flowers for us. We secretly like that. Flowers are great for valentines, birthdays, surprises, apologies, or a notion that you’re thinking about them. Getting a girl her favorite flowers are even better! Girls deserve a dozen roses (meaning, cost wise at about $60+) at least ONCE in their life. Now, I don’t mean buy her flowers every occassion. If you do, she’ll think that you’re boring and that you don’t know what she likes because flowers are generic. BUTTTTT if you don’t buy her flowers at all, she’ll think you’re not romantic. So buy her flowers at least once every two-three years.
4. Every girl deserves to be taken out to a fancy restaurant. She’ll talk about it nonstop to all her other friends, boasting about how beautiful and romantic and sweet you are. Fancy restaurant means nice lighting, just the two of you, a little dress up, spending more than you normally would for a dinner. If you can’t afford to take her to a fancy restaurant any other time, then at least take her out to a fancy restaurant for the proposal.
5. Guys should plan a romantic dinner that they cooked themselves. This should include: a nice setup of silverware, plates, etc. Candles are a must. 3-5 courses. Pull the chair out for the girl, etc.
6. When a girl says she wants something to be like “blah  blah blah” and has talked about it/mentioned that she wants it to be “blah blah blah,” it better be “blah blah blah.” If she says she wants to spend her next birthday with you alone and mentions it more than once…then you better have planned it out that way. Don’t surprise her and create a big celebration that involves her friends and family. She’ll only fake a good time.
7. It doesn’t get through our thick heads when you say “you don’t need makeup because you already look pretty” or something like that. We want to wear makeup to look pretty for YOU. Just accept it.
8. You don’t know how much she cries. You think she cried on the phone…but noooo, you don’t know that she cried in her shower, during the phone call and is still crying after you guys have hung up on the phone.
9. Her diary is her best friend and your worst enemy. In it, she has her deepest feelings…..about you. What she thinks, what she felt, it’s all about you.
10. We imagine situations to be 100x worse than they really are. Explain it to us, clearly, 500 times…then maybe, we would have retained that information.

Birthday

I think birthdays are meant to be for little kids. Birthdays are meant to be enjoyed when you’re little. Course, you can still enjoy them when you’re older but the feeling of enjoyment and the extremity of enjoyment is very much different. I remember when I was small, I loved birthdays- especially mine. I would tell everyone weeks ahead of time, even months that my birthday was coming up. And the days before my birthday, I would talk about it nonstop. But now, that I am older, I like to keep my birthday a secret. I actually don’t like making my birthday such a big deal. My friends always manage to surprise me and I love surprises but in general, birthdays just feel different from what they felt like in the past.

Anyways, my birthday was this past wednesday (2/25) and I turned 19! I had a prolonged birthday. It lasted quite awhile.

So, on wednesday at 12 AM, my roomie, Ashley threw me a surprise! She tricked me  by saying she locked herself out of the dorm. And when I went out to open the door for her, there were balloons and a cake (with magic relighting candles )! So cute and thoughtful because all the ballons had drawings on themm!!
Then on wednesday, Peter came over and baked me two strawberry cheesecakes which later got devoured on thrusday by this guy…
On thrusday, after class, I found my parents inside my dorm. Apparantly, Peter surprised me by organizing the whole thing. So, my family and peter went to Claim Jumpers and had some really good food to eat! And peter paid for the whole thing because he got to the bill before my daddy did. Thank youuuuuuu! After, we invited people over for cheesecake and some pig ate half of it in less than 5 minutes. Friday, I moved into my new house. Saturday, Peter and I went to his sister’s house (I drove 40 minutes on the freeway to laguna and thirtyminutes from corona to diamond bar and diamondbar to corona). Christine made some really good pasta and then we played wii and went to South Coast. My first time there…didn’t buy anything but saw a cute cardigan and had chocolate chip cookies. After, came back to rowland ish area and took cue pictures (which will be up once I scan them) and bought drinks from Phoenix. Went to Claim jumpers again and waited for friends. Thank you to those who came: peter, danni, randy, jason, gibson. After, went to cherry on top but didn’t eat anything because i had to leave right as we got there.

So, thank you all for spending time with me and planning things out and for presents!

You would think that the friends closest to me in high school would definitely be there for me on my birthday. Instead, people that I’m not even close to came to celebrate with me and to wish me a happy birthday. But those friends who I hung out with everyday in high school- those two girls that I thought would be my best and closest friends forever didn’t even show up. They didn’t even call me to say happy birthday. I got a facebook message and a belated text message.

I wish everyone would just for once, realize how I feel and what kind of position I’m put in. Ask yourselves, when was the last time you invited me to something…to one of your hangouts? Do you guys realize that I sit in my chair, looking at facebook pictures and getting pissed off because I’m never once invited to anything! And when I confront you, you feel sorry. But you don’t do anything to change it. You still don’t ask me out even though you say you will. And you don’t even know if you’re mad at me because you just say “I don’t know” during the whole damn conversation. And if you say you’re going to be there to make reservations early then do that! But you don’t show…even for thewhole night. You don’t pick up your phone when i call but you pick up when someone else calls. What’s worse…YOU DON’T EVEN LET US KNOW YOU’RE  NOT COMING. WE WAITED THE WHOLE FREAKING NIGHT FOR YOU.

I’m at the point where I’m not going to try to fix this friendship anymore with you guys because I’ve been trying harder than both of you combined for the past seven months. Thank for totally making me an outcast.
