so, i read your latest posts. stalkerish, i know. im allowed to, because im your rooms and thats how i'll keep in touch after i stop talking to you after college (LOL just kidding ;)
dont worry about the way youre feeling - its normal. i believe you were feeling the same way this time last year, but it was much closer to finals. there's something about winter quarter.. its stressful. everything just falls on top of us like one burden and... it gets overwhelming. but, when you put things into perspective, we're on top of the world and we have everything we could ask for... who am i kidding? fuck that..
it's okay, i miss being happy too.
and i know we have different reasons, but some may be similiar, and i feel ya. i just want you to know that i think you're doing an amazing job being her guardian and balancing the student life as well. im so proud of you and you inspire me so so SO much for everything you have done and continue to do. i dont know how you put up with me and my bad decisions and the slacker (in everything...in LIFE) ive become, and i hope youre not too disappointed.
week 5 is here. let's own this shit, ya? oh, and lemme take you out to eat soon :)
My rando list is so rando, that I have 42 things. Oh yeah, I’m just tagging you because I want you to know more about me :D
(1) Most of you know me as “Kris.” Some family members call me “Krissy” (my best friend, my former band teacher, my dad). My sister calls me “Nina.” My mom calls me “Kristina” when she’s pissed and yelling at me (hence, why I don’t really like being called by my full name).
(2) I currently have two jobs – one that I love and one I’m growing to despise. Why am I still doing the other one then? Because my coworkers are amazing… and the pay. Oh Corporate America…
(3) I’m a product of private schools – “Everyone loves a Catholic school girl!” haha
(4) I'm ridiculously good at finishing leftovers. Specifically Mel and Giselle's :D Oh, and I LOVE CHEESE.
(5) I am a former band dork :D Trumpet for 9 years, French horn for 3 years... still don't know how to play anything lol jk… kinda
(6) I can eat. a LOT. on that note, i totes gained that "Freshmen 15." I lost about half of it from the summer. Where is the remaining half? Prolly all in my ASS aka why its so unproportional to my body/BIG :(
(7) OMG I LOVE CARBS. esp fries!!
(8) I get really sad when my roommates aren’t home, but then I get really happy because I can walk around in my underwear! Oh wait, I do that already… ahahaha
(9) I like sitting in the front of a lecture, participating often and having the professor recognize my face, but I’m not the annoying chick who won’t shut the fuck up. YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A PERSON LIKE THAT IN EVERY CLASS
(10) I used to sleep walk. Now I just sleep… talk? Lol if you call me while im sleeping, chances are I’ll pick up and won’t remember a thing I say.
(11) When meeting people for the first time, I’m actually really shy and quiet, and I have to work up the nerve to start talking to people.
(12) Don’t let me fool you – I don’t really know that much about computers haha. I just know the basics, okay!? Reset the system management controller, reset the parameter random access memory, power cycle, boot to install disk to repair disk & repair disk permission…
(13) I get into some stupid shit, and thankfully I have some amazing boys who watch over me. I swear, they’re more like angels on earth. Originating from the mean streets of Fresno, I found them in Webster 313 (I think?), but now they’re my angels/big bros of Avalon 8.
(14) I’ve always been fascinated by greek life, and I’ve wanted to rush, but it’s a hard process. I’ve learned that during the rush process, you discover yourself and if you’re truly a fit, no matter how gung-ho you may be about a sorority or fraternity (and I’ve kinda rushed for a cultural and then a business one).
(15) I’m still fascinated by the greek life, but I’ve come to accept that the Hawaii Club is my family/ohana/”sorority”/group. Oh, my Na Keiki O Hawaii wahines!! And Team Webster :) I still wish we kinda had a big&lil system… If we did, I would want Jenny Yu to be my big. She’s such a fun person to be around, and I respect her for being so incredibly hard-working, but knowing how to hella have fun at the same time ;) And as for a lil, I think I’d take on two – perhaps a very giggly girl who is dating Goodman and a mango? But who knows if they’d want me as their big…
(16) I enjoy calling Calvin Newguyen when I’m drunk. Yes.
(17) I took German for 4 years (in high school) and a quarter (at UCD) lol. Actually, I originally wanted to major in German, but I wanted a more exciting major. Aber, ich vermisse die Sprache! Ich wuensche, dass ich ein Person zu sprechen mit mir hatte!
(18) I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve just always been around a lot of guys... For example, in high school, of the senior band members, I was one of two girls. In my high school sci-fi class, one of 3 three girls in like a class of almost 30. For my Apple internship? One of two girls. The ratio is 1:7 I think?
(19) I prefer texting over calling.
(20) im optimistic, stubbon, lack self control, and usually learn the hard way :D
(21) I got my license this past May and I drove for the first time in June. I quickly learned how to drive on the freeway for work… I had to. And got into a mini-accident at my new employee orientation at Apple… And to everyone that has ridden in my car: you’re still alive :)
(22) I didn’t start wearing jeans officially until last year – I had a really strict dress code from my high school. Apparently denim clashes with a private school’s image of the ideal “Holy Cross woman” ?
(23) People tell me that I have freakishly white teeth. I swear I stopped using those crest white strips :[
(24) I try to look gangster but my ICC coworkers say I'm too giggly to be taken seriously. Oh yeah, when i find things funny, I can't stop laughing. Which is often. lol :P
(25) I worked really hard this past summer: with my actual job, my body, and my friendships. I was totally doing that 40 hour work week in corporate America. Gotta love those 7am-4pm and 6am-3pm shifts. And sleeping early. Poo on that. And my lazy ass actually watched what I ate and worked out regularly. And I tried really hard to reach out to friends that I thought I had lost contact with.
(26) My dad and I text each other rando shizz. Yeah, my dad texts. I know, he's quite technologically advanced.
(27) I thought the point of living your life was trying your best to be a good person. At the beginning of the day, try your best to be a good person. Well, I've abandoned that theory because I realize that life is not so black and white. Who defines what is good and bad? Right now, it seems that the point of life is that people do things that make them happy and the concept of what is "good" and what is "bad" is all relative...
(28) When I hear a song that I really like, I play it over and over and over again. Just ask my sister – she hates it.
(29) When it comes to relationships and meeting guys, I try to keep my guard up and not fall for that stupid bullshit so I won’t get hurt. But then I met this one person, and he was perfect to me in every way possible. And we were together for a while, and we were in love. And even though I was still with him as I entered college and became extremely busy and career-focused, I contemplated giving it all up to spend the rest of my life with him. But I was young and naïve, and I’m over that and ready to move on, so it’s all good. It’s just a bummer that break-ups are so hard, especially when the person who was your whole world is the reason it’s crashing down around you. Everything happens for a reason, right?
(30) I'm extremely grateful to have a roomie who has been putting up with my shit since Freshmen year.
(31) I hate being the sober one in a group full of drunkies. Never fun. That is why it’s fun messing with them :)
(32) When I was younger, my parents said I could marry a guy of any race, but Filipino ahahahaha
(33) I think 5 minutes is too short, but 10 minutes is too long, so when people want to know how long it’ll take me to get there, I like to approximate 7 minutes. Shut up. It’s my 7 minute theory!
(34) I know I randomly yell, but I try to do it in a joking manner. I try my best to not get mad, like super mad, because I really despise hearing people argue. It’s just a personal thing of mine…
(35) I spent New Years Eve away from home/my parents for the first time this year!! I did have the option of celebrating it with my bay friends though… Sorry guys, I left because I knew everyone had coupled up haha
(36) I enjoy a good inappropriate joke every now and then. Or everyday, your pick.
(37) I’m really lucky & grateful that my parents still support me financially.
(38) My sister is my biggest role model (haha and im prolly getting kiss ass points because she’s tagged and I know she checks facebook 3134x a day, just like me). I respect and look up to her so much because she made growing up a lot easier for me haha. But really, I respect all that she has accomplished, but admire the fact that she still has her flaws. Even though we’re ten years apart, I still think we’re pretty close [DIANNE BE NICER TO YOUR SISTER]. We spent a lot of time during Christmas together and now I miss her more than ever. And her dog. And making fun of chicks who have nothing special about them. Seriously.
(39) I secretly would like for the Hawaii club to win DDR and own any MK-affiliated group. Yeah, I know, I’m a traitor to my people.
(40) So I have eczema, and it’s pretty bad (mainly because I don’t take care of it as much as I should, and I scratch a lot), and its on my hands and feet. NO ITS NOT CONTAGIOUS. So I met this cute boy Freshmen year and I was going to give him a high-five but he saw my hands and “thought it was contagious.” Cute factor, WAY down.
(41) If I shared my every thought, you’d find out that I can be pretty conceited (but who isn’t?). And I like guilt tripping people sometimes :D haha
(42) Im ridiculously good at facebook-stalking. Don’t even get me started.
so if you didn't know, music is SUCH an integral part of my life. i love love love it when i hear a song on the radio that matches my mood (which has been a lot lately haha)! so here are some great songs to start off the new year! its a mixture of new schtuff and the oldies:
Shadow of the day - Linkin Park Burn Rubber - Too $hort Beautiful - Akon, Colby O' Donis, Ludacris Wake it up - E-40 Give me a reason - Buffy Right now - Akon Poker face - Lady gaga Get Low - Lil Jon My Love is the Shhh - Something for the people Everybody knows - John Legend I hate this part - PCD Lovebug - Jonas Brothers My Boo - ghostown djs Universal mind control - Common Hips Don't Lie - Shakira

let's keep whatever happened in 2008 stay there.
my 2009 resolutions:
