Strawing, according to urbandictionary.com

strawing	7 thumbs up
	buy strawing mugs, tshirts and magnets the act of inserting coffee straws into the coin slot of a 4 or 2 quarter Foosball table/Jitz table, to get a free game. usually can work on pool tables and air hockey tables =) "yo, damn, dude we played like 100 games for free, cause the owner strawed the tables for us"

PRETTY COOL

Ms. Sandra Lee

pretty much sums it up

I feel as though I am always wearing a hat.  This hat protects me from the heat of the sun and light getting in my eyes, but I want to take it off.

"The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing.  He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live." - Leo F. Buscaglia

Despite the love and appreciation for my hat--the hat that fits so well on my head...I must find courage to take it off and learn feel and change and grow and love and, above all, live.

Perhaps later, when I get things figured out, I'll get a visor :)

I HEART YSL

I think part of my affinity has to do with my initials being an anagram of his :)

I am jealous

I don't like the safe options. I like things that have a 50/50 chance of me falling on my face. I like the magic when it actually comes together and people enjoy it, but the magic is only there because of the distinct possibility of failure. I find that romantic in a funny kind of way.

Science of Sleep

Before Sunrise, Before Sunset

i like to feel his eyes on me when i look away.

Thanks to Youtube, I found my new favorite movies.  I remember my uncle, who is an avid movie collector, told me that I may not like them because it was purely conversation, but I deeply enjoyed the dialogues (Why is there a red squiggly line under the word "dialogues"? ...there it is again!).  I guess I'm pretty behind on my movies because:
1. I don't have a TV (which leads to not having access to free movies on tv channels or dvd connection)
2. I'm unemployed, so I can't afford Netflix and such.

In "Before Sunrise," Ethan Hawke's character, Jesse who is a cynical romantic, knew my thoughts exactly.
In "Before Sunset," I could relate with Julie Delpy's character, Celine, a numbed and broken lover.

In my head I kept thinking, you guys are nuts! How do you know that he isn't a murderer?  How do you know she doesn't have a mental illness?  You two are so lucky.

I could expand on my review on the movies, but I am tired...Script = Parfait.

Short talk on feminism

just let me be.

I honestly am not a big feminist.  I do believe that women should have equal rights as men.  I do feel offended when people make sexist remarks.  And I do not appreciate it when people call a man who is telling someone what to do, the Boss, and a woman who does the same, a Bitch.

I did attend an all women's college, but most of the times I felt as though many didn't appreciate their own given sex because of feminism.  They didn't really embrace "girl" qualities.  I knew a couple of people who would try to be more masculine and forbid tenderness in this act of feminism.  But isn't that siding with the idea of being a man?  By trying to look and be like the male stereotype, it just "agrees" with the ancient doctrine of men being more superior. What is so wrong about being girly and what you are born with? Why fear being feminine?  It's not like each "girly" girl needs to be taken care of 24-7 and doesn't have her own schedule.  Each person has a strength and I don't think sex would make anyone more or less of who they are.  If a woman feels uncomfortable wearing frills and such, that's perfectly fine.  But don't throw away the dresses, long locks, and one's own feminine mannerisms in fear of judged as weak and inadequate. I know it's a bit different in many places such as the business world (you don't want to go to an important finance meeting decked out in lace and ribbons).  I'm just trying to get my view across the general public.

I do want to be taken care of, I do want to look pretty, I do want to get married, I do want to cook and clean (uhh sort of not really looking forward to that, actually) for my kids, and I do want to rest in my husband's arms.  But does that make me a weak woman?  No, that makes me human and someone who knows what she wants.

Just be yourself and embrace your qualities.

What a Nose!

cleopatra with a short cut so she can wear her fantastic wigs without a problem

I remember reading the French comic series, "Asterix," and the characters would always say, "What a nose!" to Cleopatra because of it's royal size, I believe.  I learned a lot of SAT vocab from the books hehe =)

Les Primtemps

walk and sway :)

I had a good and long talk with one of my friends from my old church.  She told me how it was important to keep blogs and advised me to write in it everyday to show/prove to the world that this is what I enjoy and love.

So I will work harder!!

Man...I wish I could write well.  I need better vocabulary.

What Family is For

back in 2002, my cousin asked me what i thought about her hair cut.
i was either thoughtless or frank.

Why do we say stupid things to people we like?

Is it a skill we must build? To say certain things in an certain way?  Or does it mean we are simply not meant to be?

Are we supposed to control this FATE???

If only If only

i think this is when love comes in

It's a date

sweetie, get back inside. you still need to get dressed.

Happy Mah-duhssss Day

...like a Korean would say =)

at AK plaza...saw these two women walking side by side with slightly different hair cuts.
 one had a gucci bag and the other had a louis vuitton.
they must have been sisters..reminded me of my mom and her sisters :)
had to draw it in the bus before the image left my head (!) so smudged a bit...

I submitted an entry describing my mom in six words for the New York Times.  Of course she is the epitome of "most understanding, unconditional love, best friend, wise, beautiful...etc.etc." But most people wrote that kind of stuff, so I entered, "Same hairdo since I was born."  I hope she doesn't get offended hehehe

Cute things come in pairs :)

Went hiking today at 5:30 AM with my aunt and her friends.  In two hours, we reached the peak where clouds lived and winds roared.

On the way down, I couldn't help but to take pictures of cute people =)

father son: hat, jacket, socks.

mother daughter: hat, leggings, jacket wrapped around waist

friends: hat

couple: hat, monotone hues

Oh hello future!

On a more serious note, I will be going to Haiti this August for a four day medical mission with my aunt, uncle and cousins.  I am honestly scared.  Why?  Because I am a hypochondriac...sometimes to an extreme level.  I must be strong, both mentally and physically....must trust that my body can handle what will come.  

Please pray for me!

I am so thankful that my dad and mom support me and offered to pay for my trip.  I am truly blessed.

please accept my thank you dance

Shit.

such is life...

but LIFE IS HOW YOU MAKE IT.
