National Coffee Day

Some of y'all turn to alcohol, drugs, or whatever for happiness, but coffee is one of the things that does the magic for me. Yup, it makes me super jittery and hyper, but strangely, it also makes me want to do things faster and puts me in this super productive mood. Most importantly, it keeps this sleep deprived zombie right here awake during school. Without coffee, I probably would of died during stuff like Homecoming and Trojan Olympics stress. They say coffee becomes a teacher's best friend, too. Cheers and pinkies up to National Coffee Day.

Unforgettable

Happy birthday buddy. Always praying for you although silence is all we share, the memories are always crisp in my mind. I thank you for helping me become the person I am today. I'd be different otherwise.

Yield

Completely over and done with, I still can't help and wonder if I would be out of line if I just said a simple...

Hi, how are you doing?

Procrastination

I keep finding distractions from finishing studying the last 2 chapters for my midterm. But, after going to the review session and nailing almost all the questions the TA asked us and getting looks like I was crazy because everyone else barely started studying while I've been studying for the past week, I should have this moment to kickback right quick.

Feel Good

Biosuckslogy

5 out of 7 chapters in flashcards for my Bio midterm next Tuesday. Look at how effing fat this stack is. This is calling for my death. Science = my worst subject. Hopefully this is the last time I'll ever have to deal with science.

I CAN DO THIS! ...or maybe that's the 12am coffee speaking. hahaha x_x

NTS

WORK NOW, PLAY LATER.


WORK HARD, PLAY HARDER.

SYL

Big sigh.


The bittersweetness of growing up.

Sweater Weather

Temperature is starting to drop in SF. Put away the tanks and take out the sweaters.

Overused

That title, or now what I consider a label, is getting way overused, and the meaning is being killed. Definitely makes me not want to use it at all.

Prize

I don't like settling for less. I am careful about my actions, sometimes too careful. I pursue the things I want. I think things over a lot. When there's something I know I want, I don't give up without a good pursuit. Sometimes I feel like I care about others more than myself, but I don't mind. I want to be selfless. I wish I wasn't tired all the time. I wish I understood things better. I take my mistakes as opportunities to grow and learn. I'm not proud of all my actions, but there's a reason why it's all in the past.

Gotta do what I gotta do, definitely on that "pursuit of happiness".

TANGENT: I seriously can't wait to get all these GE classes done with, I just want to go straight to my teaching classes.

Day 13

Thursdays are my longest days at school. Coincidently, and unfortunately, I am sick so that made today super worse for me. I was dying in my Bio lecture trying to not fall asleep, and in my Bio lab when I forgot to bring tissue and refused to blow my nose with paper towel, so I was pretty much suffocating.

Nothing like that feeling of relief after a long day. Welps, tonight I have to write an essay that's due tomorrow, then I am free for the weekend. At least it's only 3 pages.

College...

Worst Enemy

Your emotions are all controlled by you, your thoughts, and your mind.

My mind is my worst enemy.

Must keep myself steered in the right direction.

Yo Soy

Five words to describe me:

1. Thankful
2. Moody
3. Picky
4. Restless
5. Indecisive

Dia del Trabajo Semana

Back in Milpitas I am, again. My bed here is less comfortable than my bed at USF because my mattress topper in there, and I feel suffocated in my room because my parents threw Gian's junk in my room. -__- I weighed myself and I gained 5 pounds??? I'm not trippin' tho, I'm a skinny girl who needs to put on some weight. Anyways, hopefully this weekend will be a nice break from a long week of school.

I missed my koala... meet Princess. A build-a-bear my mom got me when I was in 2nd grade as a present for my first confession during communion classes. Yep, 10 year old stuffed koala.

Plans for my weekend?

• Wingstop tonight, I've been craving it like crazy.
• Go to La Vics and buy orange sauce to spice up the cafeteria food. Putting that stuff on the burritos, chicken, pizza, etc?! Perfect solution to the cafeteria food becoming tedious.
• Try Black Bear Diner that just opened up in Milpitas.
• Get all my homework done for my Tuesday/Wednesday classes.
• Stock up on food for my dorm. Already bought a box of Mi Goreng and Pancit Canton. Haha, my asianness is about to get judged again.
• Hopefully hang out with my sister and my cousins? I miss them.

I don't even know when I'm going back home yet. Either Monday night or Tuesday morning since my first class of the week is Tuesday at 12:45pm. Thank goodness my parents are going to drop me back off this time so I can bring more stuff back to my dorm.

Definitely not going home next weekend, I have yet to spend a weekend at USF. I'm probably going home again on the 16th tho, for Brian Trinh's birthday BBQ/goodbye party. I miss seeing my high school friends everyday at school, surprisingly.

Ess Eff

I decided I was too lazy and didn't wanna deal with the cold at the Giants game so Jennifer and Michelle came to visit! We bounced and went to Genkis, bomb ass crepes. Then we headed to Fatlace, and we walked around Japantown. Real interesting... We went to Union Square to visit JT's friend at Jamba Juice, picked up some coffee at Starbucks, then got lost trying to find this $5 Thai place I heard about but we didn't really care. We ended up going to this smoke shop on the way, and Jen bought a new toy haha. Picked up the food, then kinda got lost walking up and down steep hills to get back to the car. It wasn't even scary getting lost going everywhere, we were all just happy exploring the city, and the radio was finally playing good jams. After, we head to Mariel & Roxanne's apartment and watched people who were drunk and high AF. Sober life for the night. Eh, it's more enjoyable seeing your own friends drunk rather than people you don't know. Now I'm back at my dorm and I'm too lazy to pack clothes to go back home tomorrow. I mean today.

Getting lost and shizz and seeing all the cool stuff around SF makes me more happier to be where I am. There's definitely a city out here for me to explore in the next 5 years I (hope) will be spending here, and it's only the beginning. I definitely ran out of things to do in Milpitas.

Happy Labor Day Weekend folks. Here's some pictures. iPhone quality. Sorry, I do not have sufficient funds for a camera since my current one is messed up.

Bomb ass strawberry banana nutella crepe from Genki's. Best crepe I've eaten so far. Definitely coming back.

View out the car window while waiting for the post-Giants game traffic to die down.

Everyone was sippin' on that Gold Bacardi but we were good off coffee and Capri Sun.

"Let's take a picture because I'm messed up!" Alright escort. I'm always wearing this sweater when we take pictures -_- haha. Hella missed this guy though, and we miss Eddie even more.

Mad props for Greg being able to take care of people even though he was pretty high.
