Dear everybody growing up

Two years ago (yes, it was actually two years ago) I wrote a blerb about how to transition from high school to the real world. My answer? Go to college, far, far AWAY to college.

And here I am today. Anxious because in a year I will have to face the real world.

Well, I just hope my definition of college didn't offend anyone. That was obviously a very biased definition, but that still doesn't change the fact that going to [UC] Davis, getting away, and struggling with life lessons on my own has helped me grow up.


Oh, growing up.

summer09: summertime, and the living's easy... kinda

haha i am enjoying my summer so! and tomorrow i transition onto something different and exciting

From the end of finals till now, I've been extremely fortunate to have a month-long vacay from EVERYTHING. it was a difficult transition at first (from two jobs, school, hawaii club, tutoring then BAM nothing), but i got used to sleeping in, watching tv all day, and my mom being concerned about what i was gonna eat all day - hah! i swear, it has been theeee life, mayne (i don't know why i just typed it like that haha).

And so tomorrow ends my time of laziness. I'm starting work tomorrow (which I am very fortunate to get! This company knows I'll only be here till middle of September, yet they have hired me and believe in me to make some sort of measureable difference). I'm nervous, excited, anxious, and optimistic! :D

Since today was my "last day of summer vacay," I definitely made the most of it. You know, sleeping in. Seeing friends. Going out to eat. It's so so SO nice to know that good friends and good food are only a 15-20 minute drive as oppose to 30 mins or even 2 hrs.

Goodnight world, sleep tight <3

why i lubs home!

- 237, 280, 101
- my mom making sure that i get fed :D
- knowing that good food is very close-by (as oppose to succumbing to davis or driving all the way to sacramento)
- nice bay area weather
- house parties & ghetto bay people

and the list shall continue...


"i gotta feeling" - black eyed peas

"the only constant is change"

i remember my accounting professor said that. and i thought it was sooo insightful because i had never heard it before and yet it was so true.

the beginning of the end [on this transition called college] is upon me, and i can't help but reflect. to fellow freshmen out there - your last year will be here before you know it. gosh, it seriously just seems like yesterday that i was back in milpitas, waiting to get the hell out/eager/scared to start again. and now i'm... here back in milpitas lol waiting for my last year to start.

i remember last year i made a list of all the good and bad (but mostly good) that happened in my life that i was soo grateful for. i havent made a list for the past year for a reason... i've met some amazing people, but its hard to say that i'm truly... thankful? for everything that has happened. iunno. haha i blame working so much :P so much work, not enough time to think

life changes... ::sigh:: it's funny how you think you have everything planned out, and then things change. its kinda sad that the people in my life that i thought would stick around for another good 5-10 years are now distant and an unimportant part of my life right now. sometimes its just hard to let go... sometimes growing up is hard

hello july.
