Happy 4 year anniversary, corazonie! :)
In our conversation last night
I said that four years is a freaking long time, he says it's not.
I said you're right it's not long compared to being together for infinity and beyond.
He's says I'm a dork.
Love you!

Parents.

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:51:05 GMT

Ever since I graduated, my hard ass Asian parents has been treating me a little differently. I think a huge burden has been lifted off their shoulders now that they can't nag me about graduating and having a career. Since I don't have to worry about school work or studying anymore, I've been hanging out with my parents a lot. I've been taking my mother grocery shopping, which I use to do when I was younger. Well, not taking her grocery shopping but more like tagging along with her and help her pick out and bag fruits and veggies. It use to be every other weekend we would take a trip out to the farmers market. I use to love it. I eventually stopped going with her when I started college. It's quite nostalgic going with her again and dragging my father along. We talked a lot about random stuff and I feel a lot closer to them on these trips.

When my mother started nagging me about saving money to buy a house and a car, my father actually stuck up for me. He was telling her I'm responsible enough to save on my own and that he's sure I have some kind of plan. Aww, I love my dad. :T We'll see if I can live up to his expectations though.

My relationship with my parents is odd. I'm not that close to them and I don't really tell them anything at all. We don't really "talk" and they don't really ask. They know I'm dating a Mexican, but really hasn't commented or said anything about it in the three plus years we've been together. Well, other than referring to him as "my friend" in Vietnamese they haven't really spoken to me about him other than the typical hard ass Asian parent thing of "he didn't go to college and doesn't have a real career, how can he support you in the future" thing. He has a job that pays well in the restaurant industry and has a lot of responsibilities other than "just serve customers." He has some manager duties since he's been with the industry for five years, not sure if he wants to go up in the food chain but he's happy with where he is. He's really responsible and treats me well. They really can't complain, right? I wonder what will happen if we ever decide to get married. x_x

I think I might start taking the parents out to eat when they're free. I've never taken the out like that before. It might be interesting.

Bulleted post.

> AWA convention is coming this weekend, I'm extremely excited. While it's not as big and glamorous as D*C, I'm still so happy for it since I've been staffing for the past 5 years. Staffing has always been so fun and it's great just hanging out with TeamRegistration. This year will be a little different since we actually have 34 people who volunteered to staff at registration this year. It's sort of crazy since every other year, we were lucky to even have 10 volunteers the whole day without begging the other departments. I'm kind of sad because it's the first year T-dizzle won't be with the group. *sigh* She's in Japan right now which is probably 27892498327x better than AWA but it's been our tradition! Boo.

> Watched and read the anime/manga for Pandora Heart. I had an urge for anime the other day and just randomly decided to watch this series. I really liked it and damn the manga for not being done yet. Ahhhhhhhh, I hate waiting. I should make a rule for myself to NOT start unfinished series. UGH.

> Signed up for Skype the other day to talk to T-dizzle in Japan. Either I signed up for Skype many years ago, forgot my password, and used an old email address I don't use anymore or someone out in this world stole my username narfzz! WHAT THE HECK? I felt like the username was obscure enough that it was impossible someone else could have taken it. :( I'm quite sadden by this. I contacted Skype support to see if there was anyway to verify if I was the original owner but there's no way to prove it and they said it was "still active" whatever that means. Also I realize that Skype is REALLY FREAKING AWESOME. Also I was lucky that my netbook comes with a mic and webcam built into it. Woot woot.

> So I have no work this week since the two top dogs who usually gives me work is in KY for a meeting the whole week. Now I'm kind of restless waiting for this week to hurry up and go by. I think I'll skip lunch and go home an hour early today.

> Saw Tim Burton's movie 9 last Friday. I really enjoyed it. I kind of wished it was longer, had more character development, and expanded on the plot line more. The visuals was so amazing, I can see it being turned into some kind of series if it was given a chance. I completely jumped at some parts, I'm such a wuss. The dolls reminds me of The Little Big Planet sack dolls with a twist, still very cute nonetheless.

> So I gained 5 pounds since the last time I weighed myself a year or so ago. (Strangely enough, my house does not have a scale which helps me keep my sanity.) Alas, the the nurse weighed me at the obgyn last month and confirmed that I've definitely gained weight. I kind of guessed it since I feel like my face has gotten chubbier comparing it to older pictures of myself. (Not to mention my pants has not been fitting like it use to. D:) I've been working out on and off since I started college but has been slacking big time the past year or so. It also didn't help that I went from a server job waiting tables and running around to a desk job sitting in front of a computer. After the horrifying realization that I might not be able to fit in my pants anymore if this keeps up, I started running two to three times a week. After not seeing any change I've decided to start the p90x workout instead. I have to say, the p90x workout is a really good workout. It definitely works out all parts of your body and I've heard a lot of good things about the program. The program is around an hour to an hour and a half a day for six days with one day of rest a week. Each day, there's a different video you do and you follow the schedule for 90 days. I was completely sore the first week. I could hardly walk up/down stairs or sit down without hurting a muscle I didn't know I had. Now it's not so bad except the kenpo video made my arm slightly sore. I've been trying to do it everyday but it's going to be hard since AWA will be this weekend. I usually just add an extra week when things come up. So far I noticed that my arms are definitely firmer and my appetite has calmed down a bit. We'll see how it goes for now. I don't have a scale so I can't say if I lost any weight but at least I feel great and not so sluggish like I use to.

Money fail.

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 19:45:30 GMT

Money just flows out of my hands toward emergencies that's been coming up lately. My goal of saving for a new house and car is getting further and further away. The last three Saturdays has been spent at the mechanic fixing every car in the family except my dad's (knock on wood) and the youngest brother's brand new car. I can relate to how feel how cleolinda is feeling when everything just seems to happen one after another.

First it was the middle brother's car. His rear brakes were squealing so I had to bring it in to the mechanic to see what's wrong, mind you this is a week after I bought new tires ($400) for him as a birthday present. Turns out his car needed new brake pads and they also had to cut/smooth the rear rotors, $130. After that I could start to feel the metal on metal contact when I hit the brakes for my truck. So the next weekend I took it to the mechanic to find that I needed new brake pads and new rotors for the front, $275. Then my mom's house on wheels (Sequoia) started to make noises so I brought that in the next weekend and it needed new brakes, new rotors for the rear, rotors for the front to be cut/smoothed, and to have the tires rotated/balance, $340. Granted, all these things are basic maintenence required for the car to continue working but for all three cars to need it at the same time? What the hell? What kind of coincidence is that?! UGH!

Then my youngest brother has a full blown flu that seems to happen like night and day within a few hours yesterday. He looked so horrible and had all the symptoms of the H1N1 flu. So during my lunch break I took him to the Walgreens Take Care clinic to test for the swine flu. Apparently, there is no actually test for the H1N1 virus and that right now the CDC (and other select few places) are the only place that can test for it. (I'm not sure if this is really true but that's what the doctor told me) Interesting, eh? So all the news story about how there is outbreaks here and there of swine flu may be all a misunderstanding where an individual may have tested positive for influenza A but not for the actual swine flu.

So the nurse tested my brother for influenza A and he tested positive for it. The visit + the influenza test was $104. Then we had the choice if we should get the tamiflu or not. Of course, I went for it so he can get better faster and the chances of him spreading it to anyone else would go down, regardless if he had the swine flu or not. That was $117. He doesn't have anymore insurance ever since my mother lost her job last year. This sucks. I think I can get insurance for him through the high school so as soon as he starts to feel better, I'm making him bring back the paperwork for it.

So I drove him home after and quarantined him to his room. I will be wiping down the house with clorox when I get home to ensure that no one else in the house becomes infected.

I also want to throw in here that my dad bought a new car for the youngest and his insurance is $200/mo. Oh and I gave my dad $400 to add to the down payment for car. *sigh*

What really sucks is that it's just me and my dad supporting the family. Both brother's are in school and is working part time to manage what little they need for gas money and going out. Boo. ;\ I also promised the middle brother I'll take over his car payment if he gets into GaTech. At this rate, I'll never be able to afford moving out and buying a car. Why can't money grow on trees? :(

I pray nothing else comes up. Just give me a break for the month of September? Please?

RAGE RAGE RAGE!!!

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:15:57 GMT

I'm going to apologize ahead of time for my use of the CAPSLOCK OF RAGE! This might be some TLDR but I must vent. I'm copying this over from SF so I can bitch some more and add profanity.

So I'm angry on my boyfriend's behalf. He's living with the WORLD'S WORST ROOMMATE. WWR is seriously the nastiest female I've ever seen. First off, she leaves dishes by the sink for a whole month. The bf wanted to see how much longer it'll be stacked up before she decides to wash it but broke down and washed them all last night. I've never seen anything so horrid, the whole kitchen counter and the sink is just covered in dirty dishes. I'm surprised the roaches haven't found a safe haven in this apartment yet.

WWR's room will forever smells like cat crap because she never cleans the litter box for her cat and when she does, she leaves the bag by the front door for god knows how long because she doesn't have the decency to EVER take out the trash in the 8 month they've lived together. I think in all that time, she's taken the trash out ONCE only because the apartment complex threaten to fine them $30 a bag of trash that SHE LEAVES IN FRONT OF THE APARTMENT DOOR HALLWAY. I swear guys, at one point there was FIVE BAGS OF TRASH in the hallway because the bf refuses to take out her trash for her. He's always taken out the trash when it's full but when she sees that it's full she takes it out and leaves it by the door. GOD GAVE HER TWO LEGS, WHY CAN"T SHE USE THEM?!

She started using the bf's bathroom and he was confused as to why. So he went to her bathroom to see what was wrong and he took a picture of her toilet to show me why she wasn't using her bathroom. OMG PPL, IT'S COVERED IN CRAP. It's as if she missed the toilet when she's going. I mean THIS IS A FEMALE? HOW CAN YOU MISS??! First off, HOW CAN YOU NOT SIT ON YOUR OWN PERSONAL TOILET? Uh yea, so gross. If it was me, I would pack my shit and move out of there ASAP.

She's really lazy to open the trash can in the kitchen so she just sort of stack her trash around the trashcan. It seems like she tries to aim for the trashcan but misses and just leaves it on the ground. WHO DOES THAT?

Oh oh and she's comes into his room without knocking at odd hours of the day to complain about her life and I swear he's heard her autobiography. She even comes in when he's sleeping to complain. WWR did it once when I was there taking a nap with him. BITCH WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR MISERABLE LIFE! @##!@$#@%#$%#

WWR is delusional with dreams of becoming an actress and is taking acting classes. She paid $300 dollars for head shots that's literally just her sitting there in different outfits with the same facial expression. There's like a hundred of these shots people, I'm completely shocked she paid for it when the bf showed me.

She also comes into his room to use his computer all the time but doesn't contribute anything for the internet bill. WWR would bring in food to eat at his desk while using the computer and just leaves it there. ARGHHHHHHHH!

WWR doesn't even know how to do laundry. SHE JUST POURS THE DETERGENT IN THERE WITHOUT USING THE DAMN CUP. That shit isn't cheap, it's like $17+ a damn bottle and is suppose to last for 50 loads or so. Because of her, it only last 10 loads. I just wish the bf just move out already and tell the bitch how freaking gross she is. It makes me so angry! I want to confront her everytime I see her but I just give her this fake smile and walk away. She doesn't respect other people's privacy and don't understand anything about living with another human being. She's walking hazard and now I know why her love life is nonexistent. She's becomes obssessive whenever anyone expresses remote interest in her and then the guy realizes how batshit crazy she is and stays away. Also who wants to live with this nasty girl? No wonder she's fucking single. She met someone on MySpace in AL who drove all the way to GA to sleep with her. WTF? EW. SHE ALSO DISCOVERED TWILIGHT! I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPRESS THIS HORROR. D:

To make matters worse the bf works with this person and really doesn't want to confront her because he knows she'll blow it out of proportion. The lease and all the bills for the apartment is under her name and he can move out without any consequences but he doesn't want to do that to her. He knows for sure she'll start shit at work and make his work life a living hell. He rather avoid that scenario as much as he can.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! BITCH IS CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYY! I was dreading this may happen when they first moved. Also WWR knows the bf hates her as a roommate. On facebook she commented on a picture of them together; the bf wrote "best roommate ever!" (this was in the beginning when they first moved in together) and just yesterday she wrote "I bet you aren't saying that now.. lol." (something to that extent) WTF? I WILL CUT YOU!

She's from boon fuck nowhere Georgia but acts black once she moved to civilization (Atlanta). I don't understand how this girl was even raised. I'm horrified that she might reproduce one day. I hope my boyfriend survives till the end of the damn lease. I'm in awe of this guy having such tolerance. I'm hoping for WWR to say something so the bf will blow up and let her have it.

Alright, end of my rant. Sorry for this very uncivilized post.

Just sitting here

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 02:39:33 GMT

So my friends are having serious talks with people and I am just sitting here in the car waiting for them. I hope things work out for the better for the both of them. I figure I should try updating my LiveJournal since I can do that now that I have the power of the G1 and the internet at my fingertips.

So the fourth weekend was really fun. Bbq and fireworks with awesome friends, nothing can get better than that. We also took crazy stupid and fun pictures. One day I will not be lazy and post them.

I went on a crazy shopping spree with my first check at the new company. I almost felt guilty that I didn't do anything responsible with it like pay off my credit card bills or student loan. I am sure the guilt will go away once I wear my new clothes to work and realize how great it feels to have new clothes. Alright I have ran out of boring things to talk about. Maybe my next post will be more interesting.

Busy, busy.

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 14:28:39 GMT

So now that I'm done with college, I'm suppose to have more free time to catch up on what I've been wanting to do (books, manga, video games, anime, tv series, asian dramas). Of course, that hasn't been the case. I've been so busy with graduation, work, vacation, and now--- transition to new job. Not to mention I've been having more of a social life hanging out and doing fun stuff with other living breathing human beings who actually wants to hang out with me! I have friends again! It's hard to remember when weeks go by only studying and having the only other person that I see outside of my family is the boyfriend (and occasionally the best friend). It's good to know that even with no contact and rejecting many invitations to hang out, that in the end they understand (and has not abandoned me for bigger and better things). Hah! So on to the rest of my post in bulleted form.

Life has been busier than I expected:

- I finally got the PS3 I've been wanting for the longest time but its now sitting hooked up into the tv for two weeks without being touched. I did replay three levels of Little Big Planet before real life got me busy. I'm hoping maybe my brother played on it for awhile so I don't feel bad. Not to mention, a third of PS3 was purchased through generous contributions donated by my group of friends and compiled (probably harassed) by Sammie as my birthday slash graduation gift. THANKS EVERYONE! So now I feel slightly bad I haven't played it yet.

- I haven't seen an episode of Star Trek TOS! I've been on a consistent streak of at least watching an episode of day until I finish. Booo.

- I haven't watched any anime. OMG, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? Yea, something is definitely wrong with me. The last thing I watched was the ending to Kuroshitsuji which I would say ended in March/April. Wow. Compiled from random bits and pieces of things other people have been talking about, my list of anime to watch: K-ON, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Basquash, Valkyria Chronicles, East of Eden, Suzumiya Haruhi 2009, and Tears to Tiara. Please tell me if any of these series are bad so I don't waste my time. I also want to catch up on Soul Eater and One Piece episodes that I'm really behind on. Woe. On top of all that I need to catch up on manga: Skip Beat, Tsubasa Chronicles, and Nana. Also there's a new xxxHolic anime. Wha?

- TV SHOWS! I need to watch Sarah Connor Chronicles, Dollhouse (yum, Tahmoh!), and the rest of Pushing Daisies.

So I've decided to make my last day at the current company two days early so I can have a four day weekend to do at least some of the stuff in my list of things I'm behind on.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My supervisor/manager/boss-guy just cames over:

Sup: Betty, I have a dilemma I need your help with. *serious face*
Betty: Uh oh, what is it? *terrified look*
Sup: Should I get a buzz or let it grow out and keep my Krusty [the clown from the Simpsons] look?
Betty: Buzz. You'll look younger and you're already balding so you might as well finish the job.
Sup: Ok, I'm going to do it during lunch.
Betty: *smiles and nods head slowly*
Sup: *walks away with same serious look*

I'm going to miss this place.

Thoughts on Iran...

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 19:12:20 GMT

I want to believe that the people will prevail in getting their voices heard whether it's successfully in getting a re-vote or a proper recount or even the right to have a peaceful protest without violence for as long as they want.

An acquittance (a friend of my best friend) in Iran actually voted for Ahmadinejad. I'm not sure if he voted for him because he's a supporter of Ahmadinejad and what he stands for or because his family voted for him or because he's been exposed to biased propaganda, but he did vote for Ahmadinejad. He says he doesn't trust American news media and thinks that Ahmadinejad is not a bad leader. I'm not sure how reliable his opinion is because he hasn't been living in Iran continuously and as far as I know, he's been living here in America for awhile going to school. Hey, maybe he knows something I don't know. Whatever.

What bothers me the most is that he said the opposition should just accept the loss, however, if it was me-- the only way I would accept a lost of a candidate I strongly believe in is if I thought the election was fair and that the winner of the election reflects the voice of the country (majority). Obviously, from all the protest and news that has been coming from Iran, this is may not be the case.

Not to mention I can't support Ahmadinejad because he has been quoted saying that he wanted Israel to be wiped of the map and believe that the Holocaust is a myth. (Who says this now a day without sounding fucking CRAZY?) Also the attacks on students in Tehran University by Islamic police and militia just leads me to further believe that maybe the election may not have been wholly fair. So until there is further proof that the election results was indeed quite fair and that Ahmadinejad isn't pulling strings out of his ass, I will continue to support Mousavi the best I can from where I am. By spreading the word and letting others know.

i realize now i do not fear death... i fear my daughter will not be free when i die

- From the Twitter of an Iranian medical student

"If it bothers you so much, then why don't you stop watching?" seems to be the question of the last few days from my friends and family who know how invested I have become in the cause of the Iranian people (as I have explained in great detail here) The answer is simple: one day of caring is not enough. We must be the voice for the people of Iran who would otherwise be silenced. They are without reliable news sources, they are without mobile phone calls, text messaging, facebook, twitter, youtube, AIM, Yahoo, Google, and pretty much every other useful outlet for information you can think of. Yet they persist on the streets and on the internet in any way they can. The least we can do, whether we are across continents, oceans, or time zones, is spread their words safely.

My death is irrelevant.Wht is important is that u do not forget my words.We want freedom.i will die 4that

- From the Twitter of a protester in Tehran

Right now, brave men and women in Iran, both young and old, are sacrificing their lives for their voices to be heard. They must fear not only the police, but also the Basij -a force of men loyal to the government who plant themselves among crowds in plain clothes in order to discretely attack protesters and incite chaos.The protesters are peaceful. They mass together in crowds that are reported to grow in size every day. At night they have very few, if any, safe places to stay. Houses with satelite dishes were attacked by the Basij tonight, and during the 50 minutes of Twitter's maintenance, another university was attacked.

140 characters is a novel when you're being shot at.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?

The most obvious thing to do is stay informed. Keep an eye on reliable sources on Twitter, refresh blogs and news sites that are covering the stories.

If you are on twitter, retweet information from reliable twitters, but REMOVE THE USERNAME if they are in Iran. People have died because of the lack of responsibility by fellow tweeters and the media in this front. They can be tracked down by the government of Iran.

Spread the information elsewhere. Repost this article or write your own on Facebook, Myspace, Tumblr, or anywhere else you can think of. If you write your own, make sure you are concise and accurate. Link to your sources for people to learn more.

Change your location on Twitter to Tehran or Iran, and your time zone to GMT +3:30.

DO NOT auto-refresh and take down websites, even if you are asked. It slows down the internet for the rest of the people in Iran.

If you make a proxy DO NOT post it publically, otherwise it is useless. Send it in a direct message to a trusted source.

DO NOT spam the hash tag #IranElection with useless things to "confuse the government". This does not help at all.

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:18:20 GMT

Oh man, I can spent hours and hours on ONTD_startrek. It's so awesome and OMG I'm totally LOVING I'M ON A SHIP by sparkly_stuff . It really is made of awesome. THANKS STAR TREK FOR MAKING MY LIFE EVEN BETTER THAN IT IS. :DDDDDD

Also for those that need it, mekosuchinae has some really awesome Star Trek fanfic. It's like crack. I need more good fanfics!

So I've been watching TOS and wanted to compile a list of my favorite episodes and scenes, along with episodes I thought was just interesting:

- The Naked Time: Sulu fencing shirtless was hilarious and OMG SPOCK CRYING!

- Shore Leave: I couldn't stop laughing with the Alice In Wonderland bunny and little girl running by and Don Juan appearing out of no where.

- This Side of Paradise: Aw, Spock in love! Favorite scene was after Spock became free of the spores and the exchange with Leila and his Vulcan name.

- A Taste of Armageddon: I thought this was a very interesting episode where war is entirely fought by battles and calculated "casualties" have to go kill themselves in a disintegration chamber.

- The City on the Edge of Forever: Aw, I totally went "awwwwww." Spock and his loyalty to Kirk. SO AWESOME. Must go find good Spock/Kirck bromance fanfic. >__<

Edith Keeler: I still have a few questions I'd like to ask about you two. Oh, and don't give me that "questions about little old us?" look. You know how out of place you are around here.
Spock: Interesting. Where would you estimate we belong, Miss Keeler?
Edith Keeler: You? At his side, as if you've always been there and always will. (to Jim) And you... you belong... in another place. I don't know where or how. I'll figure it out eventually.
Spock: I'm finished with the furnace.
Edith Keeler: "Captain." Even when he doesn't say it, he does.

- Mirror, Mirror: Evil!Spock and Evil!Kirk. Noooooooooooooo. Very good episode. Also Uhura being fierce threating Evil!Sulu. AWESOME.

- The Trouble with Tribbles: OMG I LOVE THIS EPISODE TO DEATH. With the scene where Kirk is buried in Tribbles, the bar fight, and the whole exchange about the fight after. My favorite episode ever! Hee!

Scotty: Well, captain, er, the Klingons called you a tin plated over bearing swaggering dictator with delusions of godhood.

Capt. Kirk: Is that all?
Scotty: No sir, they also compared you with a Denebian slime devil.
Capt. Kirk: I see.
Scotty: And then they said you were...
Capt. Kirk: I get the picture, Scotty.
Scotty: Yes, sir.
Capt. Kirk: And after they said all this, that's when you hit the Klingons.
Scotty: No, sir.
Capt. Kirk: No?
Scotty: No, er, I didn't. You told us to avoid trouble.
Capt. Kirk: Oh, yes.
Scotty: Well, I didn't see it was worth fighting about. After all, we're big enough to take a few insults, aren't we?
Capt. Kirk: What was it they said that started the fight?
Scotty: They called the Enterprise a garbage scow. Sir.
Capt. Kirk: I see. And *that's* when you hit the Klingon?
Scotty: Yes, sir.
Capt. Kirk: You hit the Klingons because they insulted the Enterprise, not because they...
Scotty: Well, sir, this was a matter of pride!
Capt. Kirk: All right, Scotty dismissed. Oh, Scotty, you're restricted to quarters until further notice.
Scotty: Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. That'll give me a chance to catch up on my technical journals.

- A Piece of the Action: Kirk speaking mob talk is just sooooo funny.

More episodes to be added after watching Season 3.

So much going on!

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:29:18 GMT

Had a great time a few weeks ago at the East Atlanta Beer Festival. It was nice, hot, and sunny. Just how I like Georgia weather considering the ridiculous amount of rain we've been getting. (Seriously, I think we're over our drought and could possibly get California out of their drought for a few days if it continues raining!) When we walked into the festival, we get this really nice 6oz glass to take to the various vendors for beer samples. I HAD A BLAST!

Surprisingly enough I wasn't t piss drunk by the time it was over and wasn't even tipsy. I'm not sure if it's because I'm not drinking enough or I just have a higher tolerance now. I had the best turkey leg ever and also the best Italian sausage corn dog WITH SPICEY MUSTARD. I usually HATE mustard but it was really good with it.

I also realized I love hanging out with drunk people. Various strangers throughout the day gave me random high fives and had some funny conversations. Fun times, fun times. vodkaattwoam and I is considering going to the BIGGEST BEER FESTIVAL EVER in Boston. Yea, we're alcoholics. Can't help it, we really really like beer. :D

List of beer that I remember trying when going over the list from their website. Please remember my memory is unreliable but it's something. I'm SO SURE I tried so much more but some of the names doesn't look familiar. I did try stuff where I just pointed at the pretty bottle and didn't even look at the name. x_x So that can contribute to the short list.

- Lagunitas: IPA
- Highland: Gaelic Ale and St. Terese
- Smutty Nose: Robust Porter (?)
- Coastal: New World Wheat
- Magic Hat: Wacko and Luck Kat (IPA)
- Breckenridge: Vanilla Porter

I know I already announced this to some on twitter but I GOT A JOB OFFER! OMG OMG OMG SO HAPPY. I'm going to accept the offer either Tuesday or Wednesday after I get back from Florida trip. It's the kind job I can actually apply what I learned in school. Struggling through the university now seems worth all the sleepless nights and gajillion hours of studying and having no social life.

The job will be at a consulting firm, so it might be a rough couple of months as I refresh my brain on things I use to know. The best part is that I'm actually going to be doing REAL DESIGN WORK which means OMG REAL ENGINEERING! YAY! YAY! I couldn't ask for anything more. I was ready to jump on salary they were willing to offer because the experience there will be so valuable in the future. It's a small firm with only 150 people so I didn't expect much but they ended up offering me a so much more than I expected. WOO HOO!

The interview consist of me meeting everyone I will be potentially working with and gossiping about teachers with one of them who also graduated with the same degree at the same school 5-6 years ago. Man, I'm so excited! I'm sad to leave this company I'm at because I made some really good friends and my boss is so funny. He might be slightly crippled without me here. Trying to teach someone everything I learned in the past year is rough. He's going to really miss me when I leave. Poor boss.

I'm leaving to go to Cocoa Beach, Florida sometime tonight so we can get there early to see the shuttle launch tomorrow morning, then Disney, bars, and tons of leisurely fun. It might suck because there is a chance of rain. Booooo.

Bulleted post, it's easier that way.

- I just completely spoiled myself with images for the Doctor Who X-mas Special. SPOILER if anyone is interested, also more spoilers in the comment section of that link. I can't wait! I want more of Martha, she's my favorite companion so far. I love smart, beautiful, and aggressive women leads. I always wanted the Doctor to end up with her. Rose took awhile to grow on me for some reason but I love her now. It broke my heart when they had to separate. *sigh* Speaking of Doctor Who, I'm not so happy about Matt Smith being the new doctor and the fact that Russel T Davies won't be the head writer anymore. I won't judge just yet, they might both surprise me.

- This leads me to The Adventures of Tintin! I use to read the comics that I borrowed from the pubic library back in the day. I can't believe that the series is coming back in movie form. I completely forgot about the series, it was buried deep within my memories until my friend brought it up the other day. I think I might purchase the whole series and reread it to refresh my memories. I remember that I use to love the series and I think at some point even owned a few of the books. Man, if only I kept track of my stuff back from then. I would probably still have it somewhere.

- I've been watching Star Trek TOS. I love the humor. It really took me awhile to get over the cheesy special effects, costumes, hair, sets, etc. Now I'm use to it. My favorite episode so far is the one where Spock cries and Sulu is shirtless going around fencing, granted I'm only on episode 18 in the first season. I thought it was a hilarious episode. After TOS, I want to watch all of TNG. It's a challenge considering TOS is THREE seasons and TNG is SEVEN seasons, but I think that will be my goal this summer. Why am I so behind on all the awesome series? First, Doctor Who and now Star Trek. Man, I was deprived as a kid. I remember watching a few episode here and there but don't remember much of the storyline.

Cake! Yum!

Tue, 05 May 2009 20:18:34 GMT

Happy birthday to my mother, who also has the same birthday as me! Happy cinco de mayo everyone! I'm having a super duper lovely day. I don't even mind the fact that I'm working today on my birthday.

I just got back from this not!Meeting where my manager told me we were going to discuss my hours and that I was in trouble. So I was really scared and worried when I started following him to the conference room. So many things was going through my head and I was really freaked out. When I finally went into the conference room, I saw it was full of all my coworkers from the department. They had a cake and ice cream for me to congratulate my graduation y'all! I feel so special! My manager who is a huge joker got me good. I didn't know what had hit me. The other interns said I looked so shocked and funny.

I work for an awesome company. They are so nice to me, even though I'm just a lowly intern. Hopefully, they can somehow give me a job despite the hiring freeze going on throughout the company. I'm going to cross my fingers and hope my manager fights to keep me. Also my engineering coworker with connections is asking around to see if anyone wants to hire me. I never realized it but I have people who is really trying to help me. It's an amazing feeling to know that I'm not all stranded and alone in my job search in this crappy economy.

The graduation weekend!

Mon, 04 May 2009 18:39:22 GMT

Graduation was actually really fun because I got to sit with a few a people I know. I was pleasantly surprised that our names are called when we get to the stage, I was really expecting it to be general graduation where they don't call your names. So now I'm really glad I made the right decision to walk in my graduation. I did a little jiggy dance before getting on stage to get the attention of my family and friends. They thought it was really dorky and cute. I even got an extremely loud cheer from them.

I asked Bud, our university president, to give me a high five instead of the traditional shaking hands. He agreed so now my official picture with him is going to be on my wall when I get it. I'm really sad that Wayne Clough wasn't there for my graduation instead, it sucks that he chose to be the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution right before I graduated. Booo.

What I regret the most is not decorating my cap. There was quite some impressive decorated caps. An electrical engineer put blinking color lights on hers which I thought was totally awesome. Some had the biohazard symbol painted in bright colors (BioMed/ChemE students), I saw Transformers logo (CS major), and one person wrote "never settle" which is especially inspiring at the time (forgot her major).

Someone brought a beach ball so we got to have a little fun while we waited for our names to be called. I'm really starting to have a lot more pride for my school now that I'm out. I'm going to start buying all the GT gear I refused to buy while I was still in school. Also does anyone know if there is a tradition about giving the university president little beach/swimming floaties? A few people had them and gave them to the president, I'm wondering if there is a tradition about that I didn't hear about.

I also realized how much I love our school's fight song.

I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech, and a hell of an Engineer
A Helluva, Helluva, Helluva, Helluva, Helluva Engineer
Like all the jolly good fellows, I drink my whiskey clear.
I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech and a hell of an Engineer

Oh, if I had a daughter, sir, I'd dress her in white and gold,
And put her on the campus To cheer the brave and bold.
But if I had a son, sir, I'll tell you what he'd do--
He'd yell: 'TO HELL WITH GEORGIA!' Like his daddy used to do.

Oh, I wish I had a barrel of rum, and Sugar three thousand pounds
A college bell to put it in, And a clapper to stir it round.
I'd drink to all the good fellows, who come from far and near.
I'm a Ramblin', Gamblin', HELL OF AN ENGINEER!

Also to those who don't know "Georgia" is referring to University of Georgia, who is one of our long time rival school. I know a few SFers are over there, I love UGA. :)

I don't even mind that the song almost sort of discriminated against women especially considering that at the time this song was came about, the ratio of female to male students was pretty lousy. In my major's building there is a women bathroom on every other floor instead of every floor because there were mainly only men at the university at the time. My professor said that supposedly there were only men restrooms at the time and that they had to put in the ladies restroom once they started to enroll more females. I've heard various reasons why but you get the point, there just wasn't many female undergraduates. So I totally understand where this song is coming from. Our ratio is getting better and I still think it's an awesome fight song.

Lunch afterward with everyone who took the time to come to the commencement ceremony was really fun. The boyfriend was especially sweet in that he sneakily went off and paid for everyone without anyone noticing. I love that guy, I don't know why I always give him a hard time when he means well. He even made a lovely bouquet of yellow roses with red tips in a vase for me. I actually thought he bought the flowers from a florist and was quite impressed when he told me arranged it himself. <33 He's to good for me! I love him!

Since I had to wake up at 4:30am to drive to the Navy base in Athens to pick up my Marine friend to join my celebration, I was dead tired by the time we ate lunch. Having only three hours of sleep, the boyfriend and I took a nap before I had to go to dinner to celebrate with friends and to the club afterwards. I got drunk and really happy by the end of the night when a lot of people bought me various kinds of shots and drinks. I'm not much of a partier and I hate hate HATE clubs but I figure why not. I even had fun and dance like an idiot stick figure, and enjoyed being around good company. It was also the first time I drank that much without throwing up, thank goodness! I hate hangovers and I'm so glad I did't have to suffer the morning after.

Sunday was Buddha's Birthday so I went to the temple with my Grandma for the celebration. It was loud, fun, and the monk all congratulated me. Good times.
Now on to real life and job hunting as I start to pull my life together.

Photography: Our Labor of Love

Fri, 01 May 2009 12:51:09 GMT

So my friend has a photographer in mind that she wants for the wedding. Y'all this husband and wife duo is absolutely amazing! If I ever get married, I'm definitely going to try my best to hire them. They're called Our Labor of Love and this is their blog. I fell in love at first sight. Their picture captures the cutest and happiest moments of everything from the beginning to end. These moments aren't forced or posed, it's as if you were there in their intimate private moment of happiness. You can just feel the how excited and in love the couples are. I also feel like the photographers is just a very goofy and fun couple which ends up showing in the pictures they take. They like having fun and trying new things.

I also love love looove their smilebooth concept which is a rendition of of the old school picturebooth. Viewing a lot of the smilebooth pictures makes me really hope that my soooji will have that at her reception. It would be soooooooo much fun. They're based in Atlanta but will travel anywhere in the world. Check them out and if you use them for your wedding, let me know! I'm such a fan now. It's so cool that their photos also appear in Southern Wedding a lot.

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:01:20 GMT

I finished my last final exam yesterday. It's weird that the first time I set foot into the school library (since I moved off campus to live at home 3 years ago) is the the last time I'll ever be there. The library improvements are nice and we actually have a cafe INSIDE the library. How cool is that? The whole west wing of the library is all teched out with bunch of new computers and work stations for student. It almost made me regret not studying in the library as much as I use to when I lived on campus. I sometimes feel the library environment was a little depressing to be honest. It almost feel as if the stress of all the students in there sucked the happiness out of you once you set foot in there. I'm glad the technology fee in tuition is actually being used properly.

I'm just so happy and excited ever since I finished school. I know I'm going to probably wish I was in school again in a few months but I won't think about that now. I'm walking in my university wide graduation Saturday. I'M SO EXCITED! It is a university wide graduation and it will probably be long and boring but I don't mind. Now my next step is find a real job and pay of my students loan.

Also, another reason I'm so happy. ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS IS ENGAGED! OMG! OMG OMG OMG! She's the first close friend I know who is going to get MARRRRIEEDD! KAA! So happy. This deserves tons of CAPS AND EXCLAMTION MARKS! CONGRATS WOMAN! I'm so happy for you. YAY! I really looking forward to seeing her progress through this wedding from preparing for it to the day she walks down the aisle. *sigh* So happy for her. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. :) Yay!!!

What I do best, wasting time.

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 22:58:48 GMT

- So here I am wasting time instead of doing something productive like studying for my huge 8 hour EIT exam tomorrow. God, it will be my second time taking it. If I don't pass, I'm going to feeling reallllllllly stupid. I should really go study so I really shouldn't be complaining right now huh...? PLEASE GOD LET ME PASS! Everyone, please send me all the luck I can get. Seriously, I need this pass engineering certification. I neeeed to. I've done better to study for it this time. Don't disappoint me brain!

- My engineering statistics teacher decided to exempt graduating seniors from taking the final and giving us this "supposedly" hard homework problem that we can complete in place of it. This was brought about because of a bunch of whiny graduating seniors kept bugging him to let us exempt the final. Of course, I'm not complaining but I feel bad he's practically being walked all over by them. Oh well. So the problem is suppose to take us 3-4 hours in MS Excel but instead took 30 minutes to learn this statistical program call MiniTab and an additional 15 minutes to do the problem. WOO HOO! I don't have a stupid final at 8am on Monday. How fucking awesome is that? Yea, I'm awesome oh and maybe I should also credit google for helping me find tutorials for the program. Thanks google. :)

- When I'm not studying I'm wasting my time reading Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan series. It's so addicting. Comparable to Sookie Stackhouse series but definitely in a different world and has witches and demons intead of only vampires. What cracks me up is that bio-engineered tomatoes wiped out half of the human populations and now humans are adverse to tomatoes and thus witches, demons, and vampires were forced to come out in the open. I think that's so funny. I'm wondering if the author hate tomatoes?

- I've been loving Lady Gaga and Britney Spears as of late. Loving the dance beats. The weather has gotten so much warmer, might get the girls together to go out and dance after this hell of a week is over.

- I'm graduating May 2nd! I CAN'T WAIT. I'm so excited. I had my last day of class forever yesterday. It's so surreal, I can't believe I'm finally leaving this damn school. It's been one hell of a ride, I hardly have a social life anymore and haven't had the chance to do the things I want to do like watch all the television I want, movies, books, video games, etc. OMG free time? Say what? What is that?

- While I don't have a real job, I will be continuing working at the company I currently intern for while I search for a real job. If anyone hears about open positions for a civil engineer, please tell me. I'll owe you forever, I promise. I can be your minion to beat up people who bully you.

- SQUEE! Star Trek is coming out soon! WOO HOO. Looking forward to Pixar's Up on May 28 AND AND my birthday is coming up on cinco de mayo. CAN WE SAY PARTY?! I'm making the most out of this. Might talk to my boss to let me off for a week to celebrate. Ahhh! Can't wait till I take my last final forever on wednesday.

- I don't understand why some of my friends didn't walk in their graduation. You've spent all that time working your ass off, you gotta walk. Why? WHY? I don't get it. You crazy people. I'm going to make the most out of this, no matter how boring the ceremony is.

- I want to go to a beach! Life is a beach, seriously. I need to feel the sand between my toes. Must go to a beach. Whose with me?

- Lisa, I might go to Disney with you. Expect to hear me cussing like a bitch on the stupid kiddy rollercoster at Epcot. I'm sure I made a lot of people's day when I did the last time. You can ask Ny all about it. Lol. I'm a wuss, even in those virtual reality rollercosters. Yea....

- CAN'T WAIT TO BE DONE YALL. You guys don't know how happy I am to finally finish FIVE YEARS of college. Five years suppose to be normal, but it doesn't really feel like it to me really when all my friends had already graduated and some have even gotten their masters. I'm behind yall. Really behind.

- Just got my new license with my 16 year old picture still on it. Maybe I'll change it when I turn 30? Haha.

Liberty in North Korea

Fri, 10 Apr 2009 18:27:48 GMT

"If you are like us, the only thing you knew when you first heard about North Korea was that it had a lot of nuclear weapons. Well, it does, but that’s not the story we tell. Fellow human beings are starving to death, are severely punished, tortured or executed for political crimes, are escaping by the thousands only to be hunted down and sent back, are languishing in concentration camps, are forcibly aborted and abused if they return to the country pregnant, are sexually trafficked once they escape, and are violated and deprived of fundamental human rights."
-Eye Drum

Yesterday I went to a Liberty in North Korea (LiNK) sponsored event to watch a movie called Crossing. I've read various accounts and stories of what goes on in North Korea but this was my first time watching a movie based off of real accounts of North Korean refugees. I try to stay away from sad movies especially recounts of horrible things that happen to people (like genocide, war, etc). I really had to look inside myself for the courage to watch the movie. So expecting to cry a lot, I went to watch the movie. I cried but not as much as I expected. I feel more angry than anything. I'm so angry at South Koreans for not caring as much as they should and at the Chinese for exploiting those who ran away from one horror to have to face another.

Want to know more horrible statistics? 70-90% of North Korean refugee woman in China are forced into sex-trafficking [1]. Two thirds of North Koreans do not have enough to eat[2]. 40% of North Korean children are malnourished [2]. Over 200,000 "wrong-thinkers" are imprisoned in North Korean political prison camps.

The people of North Korea doesn't have the option of having aid workers and various organizations that provides help into their country. They're simply not allowed. The underground shelters created by LiNK workers in China are completely illegal there and those that do receive help as still in danger of being shipped. Those suffering in North Korea are simply ignored, abandoned, and the world just doesn't seem to notice. Look beyond the nuclear weapon crisis and see that there is a bigger problem at hand. That there are people deprived of their basic human rights and the world isn't aware. They are fellow human beings with the right to life. We take for granted the simple things in life like knowing where our next meal is coming from and being able to flip a switch to receive electricity and to turn on the tap where clean water actually comes out of it. These are simple luxuries that a lot of countries in the world have yet to find out. There are many preventable diseases that could lead to preventable deaths with vaccines that has been around for centuries. There are many countries that doesn't even have basic access to these common vaccines and medications.

Please, if you get anything out of this rant of mine just know that there is something huge going on. Become more aware that human beings are suffering and struggling just to stay alive. I hope that North Korea will not just be another part of history where when the crisis is finally solved, we will wonder "Um, now where were we when thousands of people were dying?"

At the showing of that movie, there was a grand total of FIVE people including myself. The south is ignorant. There's only one chapter of LiNK that exist in all of south and that's at Emory University. If anyone is willing to host a movie showing to raise awareness or even willing to shelter North Korean refugees, please refer to the site at the end of this post.

~ I seriously need a break from school but it won't happen till I take my last final on April 29th. Spring break is in two weeks and my only plans are to study for the damn EIT. Fun. I need to be prepared before crunch time the last week of April. It sucks how everything falls into the same week. EIT is April 25th. I have then have a final on the 27th/29th and two finals on the 28th. *sigh* What are the chances I pass all my final exams and the EIT? Then I graduate May 2nd and kiss this school goodbye!

~ I've started watching Battlestar Galactica last week and have been hooked since. I will finally catch up to the most recent episode this weekend. It's such an awesome series. <333

~ Got my Kindle 2 Wednesday! I've been so excited and busy with BSG that I haven't started reading anything on it yet. Once I'm caught up with episodes of BSG, I think I'm going to start reading all of Raold Dahl's books. Someone on my flist mentioned buying his boxset and it made realize that I haven't all of his stuff. Then I might start Stephen King's Dark Tower series or start reading Anne McCaffrey's Pern series. We'll see. Transferring the stuff over from my computer so far had not been a problem except the fact that I had to convert a lot of pdf files to txt files before doing so. Some of them worked great but the Pern series conversion didn't turn out so well. Also I love the fact that I don't have to install any software. All I had to do was plug in, drag and drop. The Kindle 2 itself is so small and light. It feels very stury except I refuse to carry it anywhere without a case. I ordered one yesterday and have to wait for it to come in before I want to start carrying it everywhere with me in my purse.

~ I can't seem to try to understand how someone can refuse money going into a state because of some kind of party ideology. Why bar money going into the state for unemployment? Why not provide funds for public construction and transportation? IT WILL CREATE JOBS, isn't that the point of the stimulus package? Just because you don't agree with the President doesn't mean you should make everyone else in the state suffer.

~ Bobby Jindal is the "rising star of the Republican party"? Really? Wow. Him and Palin? I might honestly lose faith in the American people all together if this happens.

The end seems so far away!

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 16:27:23 GMT

I have underestimated this semester. I was hoping for an easy and relaxed semester since I'm not taking anything hard core relating to my major. Damn it all, this semester is not easy or relaxed. My professor who scheduled a test yesterday moved it to Thursday and then decided to MOVE IT AGAIN to next Tuesday. WTF PROFESSOR? REALLY? I mean who cares if students bitch, moan, and whine about how they're going out of town, IT'S THEIR FAULT SCHOOL IS NOT A PRIORITY TO THEM! Just because you don't want to give make-up exams doesn't mean you have to screw over the rest of the class. Usually I am really understanding towards professors and all the bullshit they have to put up with but not for this class. He usually come to class unprepared and just confuses the hell out of us with examples he makes up on the spot. I haven't learned anything! I'm so screw! I JUST KNOW IT. So prolonging the inevitiable is not helping my stress level.

Now I have THREE EXAMS Tuesday. Not to mention I also have a lab report due the same day that's not easy. Nothing like that has ever happened to me, usually it's just two exams scheduled on the same day but nothing like this. I'm usually good with micromanaging my time and doing schoolwork. So now I feel like freaking out at the shear amount of material I have study. Also I have an exam that following Thursday.

I should have studied for the exam that was moved to next Tuesday this week but I have been so concerned with writing my paper that I felt realieved when I heard it was moved again. Only to realize that moving it to next week is possibly the worst thing that could happen to me.

So I have today until Monday to prepare to hopefully ACE everything. Saturday is already down the drain because it's Valentine's Day. So I have five days to figure out how to cram studying for everything and squeeze in a lab report. I will figure out how to get through this and then treat myself out. I just wanted to vent somewhere to clear out my fustration.

Now back to the regularly schedule program.

I'M GETTING AN AMAZON KINDLE 2 FOR VALENTINE'S DAY from Aurelio! I'm asking him to double it as a gift for my birthday gift on cinco de mayo because it's so expensive. OMG! I can't wait! I'll continue jumping around with joy as soon as next week is over.

*sigh*

Project 365

Tue, 03 Feb 2009 19:39:15 GMT

I've been looking through Flickr a lot lately and really envy all the people with their nice dslr cameras. I feel quite intimidated with my point and shoot camera that I'm slightly embarrass to post my pictures. I want to learn more about photography. I feel super motivated and have been reading through some tutorials on how to make the best out of my point and shoot camera. One day when I am confident enough and can afford one, I'll buy a dslr. So to motivate myself, I've decided to start Project 365. Every day for the next 365 days, I will take a picture and post it on Flickr. I started yesterday and will post them to my Flickr when I get a chance.

And while browsing the site, I stumbled across the cutest online love story of all time. I'm such a cheesy romantic so I hope things work out for them. I swear you won't stop going "awwww" after you see the pictures they've take together. Here is the condensed version of their love story and you can view their photo gallery here and here. Also if you want to see the before and after of some images, this is their blog. They are so cute together! I also love his Animal set. Check them both out!

Happy Lunar New Year!

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 20:03:26 GMT

And thus the year of the Ox begins! I went to the Buddhist temple and got a pretty good fortune from the Chinese fortune sticks. I still need it to be translated again just so I can be sure (it's in Vietnamese). I normally is really skeptic about these things but I figure something is better than nothing when looking into the unforeseeable future. I want this year to be a good year because I'm graduating and need to start thinking about paying off student loans and beginning my life after school. It seems so far away! I also found out Obama is also born in the year of the Ox so I hope he has a good year too. Cheers to a good new year! To the folks who celebrate it, Happy Lunar New Year!

Wooo!

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:42:39 GMT

I'm looking forward to your years in office President Obama!

I can't believe I almost missed the inauguration and is an idiot for thinking it was being held 11PM not 11AM. I'm so glad I turned on NPR when I did and ended up skipping my classes and staying in my car to listen to the whole thing. I could of went to Centennial Olympic Park to join tons of people watching the inauguration on a big screen but it was already well into the speech and I wasn't in the mood to drive down the street. I'm so happy! I'm so glad I didn't miss it. It's different listening to the whole thing through NPR coverage but I don't regret it. I'm just gald I didn't miss it. Yay! I loved the end of the benediction given by Reverend Lowery. I wish I was there freezing my ass off with the rest of the people in the crowd watching everything go down.

Ok, I laughed out loud

Mon, 19 Jan 2009 00:50:37 GMT

I've been watching Veronica Mars for the first time because the dvd box set were on sale for $20 each season at Best Buy. I was watching Season 2 episode 18 and this quote came from Mr. Wu the Physics teacher:

Veronica, I think when you get out in the world a little more. You'll discover that not all well dressed, articulate, detailed oriented men are gay. Many of them are just... Asian.

Yup, I laughed out loud when he said that. It's so funny because the sad thing is, I feel it's so true. There were plenty of times where I questioned whether some of my male Asian friend was really gay and sometimes I compromise myself and think "He's just Asian, not gay." Many of them are just metrosexual.
