Happy holidays everyone!! :D It's been great seeing and catching up with you guys lately! :] Thanks for the presents but most of all, thanks for your friendship and the memories this past year. <3
- Thank goodness finals are over. Wow what a pain. :[ Didn't do too well but there's always next semester! And no matter what, I did try my best so I'm proud of the results. There's just always someone better D:< Haha that's okay :] They're helping me strive to become better too. Social facilitation! But not really because that means they would actually be making me worst. So it's the opposite. I love Loma. <3
- 12/13/07 I got my ears pierced! :] Loma went to Irvine Spectrum to celebrate after finals and Sophia and Patrice persuaded me to get them pierced at Claire's. Haha I was all scared and overreacting. Then everyone came and supported me! :D That was great. :] Then we lost Lani. Lol that wasn't too great. She had no cell phone and wasn't with anyone. Lol we were trying on dresses in Windsor and she headed over to Forever21. Exceeept we took too long in Windsor and when we got to Forever 21, she was elsewhere. Massive search party for Lani... found her... split into two groups for dinner at Wahoo's and Chipotle... Crepe Factory... invasion of the Apple store... Forever21 + shopping. :] Lol + singing in the car. I seemed to have no womanhood cause I don't know who some artist was... queen of music or something? haha i don't know :P
-12/14/07 Caroling! With dearest dearest Key Club <3 Met up with past people i haven't seen in so long. <33 How times have changed but people have not. <3 Fun night :D
-12/15/07 Hang out with Christina, Pauline, Van, and Jessica. Paul Frank warehouse sale! Ahhh so cheap!!! :DDDD Butttt 30 minutes to shop cause I came lateee :[
-12/16/07 Paul Frank warehouse sale with Richard! :DD Spent a lot of money but got a lot of good stuff for myself and others. Really good stuff. :] I bought my brother a nice belt for $5 that is sold $46 at actual price. How overpriced!! But he loves it :D I also got him a woman's shirt that reminded me of him but he rejected it. :[ Then hung out with Adeline and Richard and then went to UCI for dinner. But commons was closed so we had a very unhealthy dinner eating at both Jack in the Box and then In n Out. Extra friess.
-12/20/07 Kiwanis meeting, hanging out with Adam and Adeline, and badminton~ Ahh so sore the next days D: But so funnnn~
-12/21/07 Richardd dayy :D decorated the house really prettily! :]
-12/22/07 Christmas party <3 Ahh reconnecting with the sweetest people on earth <3 Thanks for everything guys :D It was really such an awesome night :D Keep in touchh <3
- 12/23/07 Loma day! Attended Jared's church service where he plays drums in the church band with Alex, Huy, Sophia, Kevin, and Justin. Very good music. I had a really fun time. :] It was my second time in church! Haha it was fun. :] Then his parents took us to Sea Food Paradise. Loolll omg we were such pigs. xD We ate sooo much! Omg there were so many dishes and we just kept on eatingg... we bought 4 dishes of the egg custard things i love <3 Soooo good when warm :DD Haha i was full all the way till dinner... But then we went to Boomers! :D And played minigolf! :DD Haha 7 people playing minigolf... people kept skipping us cause they got fed up with waiting for us. :P So much fun although I'm a pretty sucky minigolfer :[ Huy was awesome at purposely hitting off the course and back on to get over obstacles. xDD
-12/24/07 Richard day! :D Ahh such a sweet boy... he wrote me a song on the guitar. :o What a freakin sweet surprise. <3 Ahh so sweettt!! And in getting out of materialism, we each returned out gift. xD There were some things about the phone that he didn't like and I just don't want an mp3 player because I dislike wearing earphones and I have little occasion to use them. Plus we both do not want the other to spend so much money. Lol so this was a Christmas full of love, meaning, and happiness from each other, not from items. :D
-12/26/07 After Christmas shopping! xDD So done with shopping for this season! Lunch with Vinny at Full Moon Sushi to catch up with him. :D It was nice reconnecting and talking :] Then shopping with him and Lily! Lol tireddd.
Good break so far :] Hmm I've been fairly productive... cleaning, setting resolutions, and starting hum core reading. :D And to start off the new year.... [with snowboarding!! xD]
Resolutions! :D
Taking care of myself
1. eat healthier/more.
2. eat 3 moderate meals a day or more! Do not skip meals unless under very busy situations!
3. wash face every night ^^" Wear retainers at least every other night if not every night.
4. put more effort to waking up early even when not necessary. And more cheerfully!
5. sleep at midnight when possible.
6. Less arguing/ complaining/ debating/ using excuses, whichever I like to call it. Be more open-minded/ less stubborn. :] Haha then it wouldn't annoy people so much.
7. Exercise every Tuesday and Thursday if possible. Thursdays can be skipped for a good reason. If Tuesdays are skipped, make up during weekend or next available time!
Taking care of others/ Participation in community and society
1. Research clubs and join a community service club (Circle K/ Golden Key/ or something else) by the end of January.
2. Join a med-related club by the end of January.
3. Do a club activity at least once a month.
4. Aim for a leadership position! Get to know board members/ club members during activities and meetings.
5. Organize and donate clothes to Goodwill. I have a lotttt. Do by end of winter break or spring break!!
6. Recycling the crapload of papers I've kept since middle school.
Academics
1. Find research that interests me and contact professor about it by end of January.
2. Find job/internship this summer! Find out by end of March!
3. Find a study abroad program/ plan it with respect to research.
4. Get better grades! Be extra careful as to not make stupid mistakes that end up screwing my grades up. :[
5. Start writing essays a day or two after receiving prompt/earliest possible. Contact/ have at least two office hours with professor per essay.
6. Visit office hours/ email professor or TA about something that confuses me.
7. Study Latin/Spanish/Mandarin/Vietnamese during summer and continue to study/use it.
8. Do a scholarship every other month, except when extremely busy.
Miscellaneous
1. December 3rd resolution - keep clean and clean up whenever possible.
2. December 3rd resolution at home. 10 times harder for some reason. ._."

Stuff I want to do:
