i haven't updated in a long time due to my long to-do list from the last post [see below]. 

anywayz, i dont think i have time to blog much from now on so i've decided to let my photos do the blogging instead.  i'll try to post at least one photo to recapitulate each day.  i probably wont remember to do it or will be too lazy to connect my camera to the laptop but i'll try my best :/

lets start with the past couple of days:

12/24: gathering at shelly's 

 

12/25: making pate chaud with mommy

12/26: shopping @ great mall with mommy and vi

$2 gloves! i didnt like the snow flakes very much :/ 


mommy got me these socks before i came home. SO WARM


mommy got me these pj pants too.  MONKEYS

12/27: shopping @ oakridge with mommy 

new wallet :] 


red for good lucks :] 


new eyeliners: charcoal blue and emerald isle 


new flats that i've been wanting for monthssss 


i thought the ones i got were cheap. but these were $0.50 each! 

woohoooo. after a depressing emo night ranting to ryan about my never-ending cycle of bad lucks, my fate finally took a positive turn. i had a job interview at 11PM today and i ditched class to prep for it. i showed up and not one, but two andreas interviewed me. i didn't think i did so well since I did not prepare myself for ambush by two different interviewers. I answered questions awkwardly and dug myself many holes. i swear i saw them exchanging negative looks with each other during the interview. surprisingly enough, i received an email at 4pm saying out of all the applicants they interviewed, they have selected me for the position. wadda ya know :) *dances*. downside of the job is that i have to work during winter break and the job may not last until the end of the school year. booo. ohwell, i'll take anything after months of job hunting.

so tomorrow is veterans day. no school. wheeee~ unfortunately, i got a full schedule. i have to meet up with my 130 group to work on data presentation, then later with sitong, karen, and linda to work on uh [secret]. sighhh, i really want to go to sf with ryan but we can never find the time where we're both free. tomorrow would be perfect if i didnt have my hands so full. SIGH.

- my face burns after putting on toner/moisturizer. whats going onnnn? and recently, my neck has been very itchy and it turns red even w/o me scratching it. do i have AIDS? :/

- today while i was sitting at the INNERMOST cubicle in vlsb library, a middle-aged hobo-looking asian man approached me from behind and asked for a donation in whispers. since when did vlsb become sproul? and why is it that food isn't allowed in the library but random strange man is? i do not understand berkeley sometimes.

- i've decided to not meet more people or make new friends. intentionally anyway. if by some random chances, someone becomes my friend, then its all good. otherwise, i wont be putting myself out there anymore. only cus i no longer feel like being fake social. you know, what you do/say when you're meeting new people at social events. also i feel like i should focus on being a quality friend to those who are already my friends instead of being a semi-awesome friend to like 2390248288324 people

- ryan has been extra cute lately. maybe its cus ive been extra extra cute/nice lately too.

- i did better than ryan in school today. what a nice day :)

- its so hard to find a job these days. i've applied to 10+ jobs and gone to like 4 interviews, but no cigar :(

- i hate ppl that skateboard in a zigzag path and looks like they're about to run me over cus theyre within like 2 inches of my body. wtf

- there were a lot of foreign languages being spoken on the streets of Berkeley tonight. i heard korean, chinese, spanish, other languages i couldnt identify, all within 5 minutes

- i've been walking home from places late at night by myself. im so brave. although id rather not be and have someone walks me instead :/

- i put on tons of eye makeup today. then i took a nap. when i woke up, all the makeup was gone. it was like someone washed my face while i was asleep. i like cheap makeup. you save money on makeup remover as well :)

- i should get back to studying. less than 7 hours left!
