intro

christmas weekend is always hectic. people wake up when it's still dark just to stay in line for something that they want to re-sell. they take advantage of the christmas sales for gifts. they push & shove and right when you put that piece of clothing down because you wanted to "compare the two", some customer grabs it and you hunt them down around the whole store to say that it was yours first. hahahahhaha. okay i might've been overexaggerating. might've.

saturday before xmas - car (window) shopping. passed by a few used car places... ehh...

mom insisted on going to a dealership. ehhh they cost too much.

Honda Salesman 1 helped us out, but being the asians that we are, we stood firm with our Bargaining Price. he wouldn't budge. so,

Honda Salesman 2 tried to persuade us with his sales-talk. Nope. wasn't working with This asian family.

Honda Saleswoman 3 (haha.. using a woman now i see?) tried to persuade us with her "i'm-filipino-too" sales-talk. NOPE. embarrassing! we left.. and i'm still carless. =( but not for long. we've decided to look for cars in 08. makes more sense, right?

church on sunday. learned that Sometimes, when we're looking for the Perfect thing, it's easy to miss the Right thing. mhmmm Amen to that. Pastor used the example of the Dad who took his 3kids out looking for the perfect xmas tree. http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/12/19/america/NA-GEN-US-Missing-Family.php good thing they're okay. that would be a horrible xmas story if they weren't. =T

we stayed at church til about 4pm because mom&titoroy had some ministry meeting thing. there were a bunch of kids.. nobody my age. what to do.. what to do..
these 2 little girls were my favorites. they are so cute. via and jamie. they look up to me and give me candy. =)
EWGHHH!!! this thing popped out of nowhere and said, "take my picture!"went to my cousin's heeze in milpitas. haven't seen her in ages. we didn't take pictures coz.. they're from my dad's side of the fam, and we weren't with dad???? i guess my mom is just koo with them. but other than that, our niece Chasity is 5 years old now. ^_^

had some mother-daughter bonding time (&ate some korean food before we headed to..)the MALL.... from 6-12... (still sunday). omfggg. get this. we went to old navy first. i tried to "compare sweaters" and some dumb customer tried to steal it from me. luckily i didn't need to hunt her down. i just.. spoke up. "Ahemm, that's mine." lol. i saw richie! =). then newpark.. chantal bumped into me. my all-day-in-house buddy. in-house = detention hall. haha. around 12, me n mom sorda got locked inside.. but we eventually found our way out. people, don't shop last minute.

monday night.. beautiful night.

Before:After:
after after...
after after after...

xmas day. dun dun dunn.

1/2day with mom..1/2day with dad's side.. mom's had good food, but dad's was more fun. i've never been to xmas in the park before.. that was interesting

got home & doodled.

i want eyelashes that actually SHOW. haha freakin asian status. >_<

i've learned from my family that when i'm a momma, i will cook good food AND go out somewhere fun w/ the fam rather than one or the other. car dealerships can be very persuading with their sales-talk, but don't fall for it! they will jip you. andddd um... bring a scarf and some gloves next time around. it's pretty darn cold out there.

now, where was i..

coming from The less experienced; i'm curious. i mean, life is too short to stay in one pool. right? past couple days have been hectic.. considering finals week ended only 2 days ago. i'm soooo glad it's over. but now the real stuff starts.

you said you were going to, so do it.

i'm the type of girl who won't step in front of you. i'm actually either right beside you, or right behind you. but don't confuse me with an accessory. coz i'm not. and somebody pleeease tell me that my size has nothing to do with it.

TELL ME..
something i don't know.
SHOW ME..
and i'll show you.

as you all may know, i'm indecisive. i dont give a fuck if you dont like that or not. haha. but hey. that's me. it's hard for me to make decisions because well, i'm scared of the possibilities. someone once told me i get attached easily. i guess i do. make me happy, &i'll cling to you like a magnet. make me sad, &i'll still hope to get that happy feeling i had in the beginning. WELL FUCK THAT INDECISIVENESS

look. i'm sorry that i've missed out on a few things.. you can say i'm stupid for knowing what i'm getting myself into. SURE. you can always tell me, "oh, i've BEEN there, DONE that and it aint SHIT. don't do it" ordering me around to stay in a protective bubble. well unfortunately for me i've been restricted from living a normal life like everyone else and i can't say that "i been there, done that" coz i wouldn't have known FOR SURE unless i EXPERIENCED IT now would i?

don't expect me to listen because i want to experience it tooooo.. just like everyone else did. just like any normal 19 goin on 20 year old did. i just hate being left out. =(

i got a picture for you guys. (i brought my camera this time)

yep. and the airbags didn't even pop out. wtf. goodbye hondaaaaa.. =( you belong in car heaven with the rest of themmom/dad's xmas presents: new (used) car + new cell phone. def. looking into tl's. thanks. =)

oh yeah me n rachel took out the speedbumps by my house. that was fun for a quick moment. haha. those were damn annoying tho.

CONGRATS CASSANDRA for passing i'm so freakin proud haha

sd in jan; stayin w/ crystal. i'm excited. after, i'll tell you my opinion about sororities.

pisces horoscope for 120807:

Jump right in to an intimidating situation today -- and prove to yourself that you can do whatever you decide to do. You should immediately take control -- don't worry, no one around you is going to mind. In fact, a lot of people are eager to hear what you have to say. They have been talking about you and are quite eager to see what you can accomplish. So why not show them? You will be very glad you took the chance -- and took the control.

fishy. something's.. fishy

WHY SO FISHY!

happy birthday kessy. =)

where to, cheryl?

this weekend i looked back at things.. and i wondered.. What happened?? Why did, what was the cause of, but, etc.. Thinking of those things, therefore, lead to confusion frustration and/or anger. Why is it that i tend to look at the cons rather than the pros? Sure, it is a girl's nature to think that way. You hear girls always saying "are you calling me FAT?" or "i'm ugly" or "the lady at the salon messed up my hair!" haha. Maybe there isn't enough "pros" to begin with. even just the thought of cons is already a con itself. hence the word, Pessimist. but if there aren't enough "pros" to begin with, why bother questioning it? why go backwards, when you can move forward?

argh. i'm metacognition-ing again.

at the moment, my mind and heart are stuck in a ditch. neither happy, nor sad. not in need of anything, nor wanting anything. monotone. the face -_-. like a rock. just... blah (this all sounds so familiar)

these highs-to-lows-to-highers-to-lowers are really pissing me off.

k; blogged it. one thing off my mind. for the moment.

daddy was talking about paris hilton the other day. he said, "look at paris hilton. she's a problem child to her dad. her dad is the owner of these huge buildings all over the world and just around the corner. one day she'll inherit all of it! but she'd rather go out partying or fool around carelessly. (laughs) look what happened to her. she ended up in jail. after she got out, she felt like she was the best y`kno i can do anything. now she helps out her dad with his business. but all that happened AFTER she went to jail, cheryl. just go to school, hurry up and get your degree, and help me with my real estate business. stop fooling around don't go out til 3 in the morning. just school, work, study, go straight home, and then repeat!"

uhh.. thanks dad. i'm gonna try living with him for the meanwhile until next semester starts. de anza is looking tempting tho, plus their transfer admission agreement with san diego...

k; blogged that one..

learned in church "Some people need to go into 'season'. Get strong, and then make your come back."

alright..... toodles
