This time, instead of literally fighting bugs, I am dealing w/the figurative ones: an AIM virus! God...how do people get enjoyment out of creating programs that cause so much trouble? My cousin "sent" me an IM that read:

Where should I post the pictures of us? On facebook or myspace?

Included was a link. Under normal circumstances, I'd like to ( Read more... )

It's so nice to take a whole weekend off from schoolwork, at least for the most part. On Friday, I picked up my cousin Michael from Northgate. He's stationed @ Ft.Lewis and I haven't seen him for two years, so it was really great having him hang out at the house for the weekend. After a lot of sweat & tears to get my friends together for a poker ( Read more... )

I just finished my consumer behavior midterm but I have to hang out at Balmons for my next class. I feel like I did okay, but when I feel this way, things usually turn out sour. Dammit I should have studied more. I tried! but things were crazy yesterday. It was free scoop day at Ben & Jerry's so I went w/Michi & Shawn. My cone fell on the ( Read more... )

Yesterday was all about bonding with the siblings. Michi and I first stopped at Noah's and mooched some bagel sandwiches off of Doro (thanx!), and then made a second stop to the Urban Bakery where Victor works. He hooked us up with some OJ and cookies (gracias!), and we waited for him to get off work so the three of us could grub at Musashi's. ( Read more... )

It's hard to be the "good" kid in the family. I feel so much pressure...the things I say or do can cause the breaking point for my mom's sanity. She tells me all of her worries about my sister and brother because she has no one else to tell them to. It tears me up inside. I wish I could help somehow, but I'm only contributing to her grief by ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning and was watching A Beautiful Mind. My upper lip began to tingle, and I knew what that meant. My hives are still here and my lip would be swollen in a coupla minutes. Great, a swollen upper lip and two puffy cheeks. What the heck. Anyway, Quoc stopped by to see how I was doing; brought me some bubble gum so that was cool ( Read more... )

I wake up and first thing on my mind is BBQ!! My mom was kinda tripping when I told her I was going out because she wanted the "family" to bbq in our backyard, but it wouldn't be much of a celebration with juss me, her and my brother especially since I knew for a fact Victor would be going out with his friends. I so often feel bad for not wanting ( Read more... )

Well I'm finally back in Sea-town. I barely made my flight this morning. I woke up at 5:30 and made it to LAX around 6:15. So after going thru security checks etc., I start heading towards my gate, and of course it's the furthest gate away. I swear it seemed like at least a mile. LAX is so big and intimidating. My brother picked me up at Sea- ( Read more... )
