- there was a hapa boy in my asian american history class who i thought was pretty hot on the first day. i thought to myself, "cool, i can look at him if lecture is boring." i typically do stupid things like this in order to pretend that i'm over nelson.
- on the second day of lecture, hapa boy didn't fix his hair and he was wearing a hoodie with large greek letters embroidered on the front of it. this is when i decided to give up on him.
- the said boy was in my discussion section and he sat down next to me. i really wish he didn't do that because his stupid skateboard was blocking my backpack. he is also the only person who did not say, "bless you" to homegirl sitting next to me after she sneezed. i have decided that i hate the said boy now.
- working at bruin cafe is more enjoyable than it previously was. i believe i'm making some pretty cool friends there.
- one girl told me her life story when we were supposed to be working, and we're pretty much homies for life now. i know everything about her academic life, her family, her rampant sex life, and her strict christian upbringing.
- i have chosen to limit the amount of information she knows about me because i like it when people guess things about me.
- a couple of boys i work with ignore me while they discuss basketball. i don't usually mind this because when they are finished impressing me with their basketball knowledge, they frequently ask me awkward questions such as, "if you were an animal, what would you be?" i usually tell a lot of lies to the said boys because i can't think of anything witty to say at work since i'm always tired there. i like them because they are nice and they both have beautiful teeth.
- i always forget to wear my name tag at work, so i'm guessing that these new friends don't even know my name. it's cool though, i'd like to remain a creature of mystery.
- nanneh (one of my roomies) and lawrence (one of my floormates) will be working with me at bruin cafe starting this week. the three of us have decided that it's time to put money in the bank and have fun with each other while doing it.
- after discussion with kuya sean, i have decided to come to terms with the fact that becoming addicted to coffee isn't such a bad thing because it has successfully kept me awake in my classes. the only drawback that i have noticed from my recent mass consumption of coffee is my teeth are not as brilliantly white as they were prior to the coffee drinking.
- i have spent many mortifying years behind the prison of wearing braces, and since then i have been very self-conscious about my teeth and mouth in general. my teeth have been rubber-banned, chipped, drilled, and bleached until the top layers of their enamel has been worn away.
- however, i have decided that keeping my eyelids open during my undergrad courses here at ucla is more important than my vain obsession with my teeth and myself. so bring on the coffee breath and coffee-stained teeth.
-in other words, i'm going to go ahead and sacrifice the overall quality of my face and bank on doing well enough in college to become so smart that my job will pay me to bleach my teeth thin as paper.
- i attended a college frat club party on thursday, mainly to "get it out of my system" for the quarter. the party was hosted by a fraternity called zeta phi ro. this is a predominately asian frat and i have come to learn that it is also a predominately stupid and arrogant frat.
- it was an interesting party. i was sober, as i tend to be at college parties. the selection of young men at this party was not impressive, but i had a lot of fun dancing with my roommate, rara. we practically exploded with excitement when the dj played danity kane at the club. i don't care what anyone says, i love danity kane, even if they are stupid.
- ucla lost this weekend, and we lost big time. i was heartbroken, especially because my hometown hero, darren collison just didn't step up like he usually does. next season guys, fight fight fight. thank goodness i had my big brother and my kuya sean to share my grave disappointment. misery loves company.
- this weekend my cousins and i ran the carlsbad 5k together. it was a great experience and there's nothing like spending quality time with the nocons. we ate, talked, laughed, napped, and ran all over town together. considering all of us are busy with married life, college, work, and more, the time we spend together is really special to me.
- ate liselle and i spent a lot of awesome one-on-one time together because we rode in the same car from l.a. to san diego. i love how smart she is.
- i love my family. i am so thankful to have seen them this weekend. i wasn't able to take a ton of pictures, but i'm hoping to see them from katrina's and my sister's camera.
- i have already cultivated a more positive attitude going into this week. as most of you know, lately i've been in somewhat of a a slump, but seeing my family really recharged me to kick some butt at school this upcoming week. spending time with my family reminds me that i have all things good in my life.
