Need to stop forgetting about blogging
I need to turn to blogging more often...I don't know what happened. Last year, I posted a lot more, now even on LJ, I don't write as much...it's not that there's nothing to do, I just can't seem to sit down and type.
Still, before I realize, summer is coming to a close and now...I'm going to look back at the "goals" I had set for myself.
Got a job! Most of you guys already know, I should be working in Sam's mom's insurance office as an assistant of some sort. Hopefully I can do really well and expect a little more out of it. Kinda anxious for it to start, definitely.
So how did this turn out? Actually...pretty good. I got a nice little sum for working there, learned some basic working/office skills, got to sit in an office with air conditioning~
I made the choice to learn Japanese, so this summer, I'm still going to open the textbooks and review my Japanese, especially grammar. I want to be proficient! So I can to go to Japan again and get around without too much English and wild hand gestures...
This is the one...I didn't exactly get time to go over. But hmm seeing that I have about 10 days left before going back to SD, maybe I still have a chance to refresh everything.
...Which means, I must make a return to watching Jdramas.
But somehow...I did get around to watching two dramas while on vacation! Kimura Takuya's MR. BRAIN and Amani Yuki's BOSS. Both are under the mystery/detective genre, which I've realized I really like to watch now.
Learn more around the kitchen. Last summer I learned how to prepare food to be cooked, this time I hope to be able to at least cook up some simple dishes from my dad.
I did learn how to sauteed and certain rules for cooking certain foods...frying fish is a bit fun, but I'm still not used to hot oil jumping on to my skin.
In general though, still be of more help to my parents. (: I admit I don't like housework, but I need to be less lazy and spend more time with my family.
Haha this one I got done, in fact today I just cleaned all the blinds in my room, something that my mom has done every summer.
That's really it for now. Getting ready to get back into the swing of university life soon! (:

Summer so far...
So now it's the end of July, almost about halfway through this summer. I forgot about blogging here until today. What have I been up to?
Pretty much, this is one busy yet boring summer. Of course, I shouldn't be complaining of the fact that I have a job, but I'm waking up earlier than I ever did during the first year of college and it's a bit hard to believe I'm sitting in the same chair for about 8 hours every Monday through Friday. I know this is the office life and most people go through this without complaining at all, but I can't help it at the moment. None of this has to do with my boss, who is, as many of you guys know, is Sam's mom. She's very much like her son, laid back and generally happy.
That's not really the main point of the post though. Sadly, this is a not-so-happy post. Weird thing is, I'm feeling lonely right now. I hope I don't sound like I'm seeking attention or being extremely whiny. I know one of the reasons for this are the circumstances I'm under right now. Everyone I want to see is far away, whether the friends are 45 minutes away or all over California or in Taiwan, China, Singapore. Of course, I've been talking online and that does help though. And I have my brother, who provides me hours and hours of amusement. Sucks though, because I've been getting into stupid arguments/misunderstandings with my mom and sometimes just venting a bit to my brother doesn't exactly help.
Regardless though, I think I'll be able to get through this alright. I just need some time. And besides, in a few more weeks, I'll be on a real vacation, where work isn't involved and I can relax.

When the blue sky and ocean shine and overlap, the tears will dry, summer is smiling
Just like Connie, for me, the end of my first year in college is soon coming to a close. What Thomas said today, I also agree: things will be different next school year (not that they'll be bad) so we should cherish the memories of this year! Couldn't help getting a bit emotional and especially thinking how I'll be this summer (in a certain relationship with a certain someone that I know you guys know what I'm talking about). I just want this to pull through summer just fine, seriously, I know I might overthink things, but it's something I can't help?
But on a lighter note though, there are things to look forward for the summer and goals to fulfill (or at the very least, give a good effort in trying to fulfill).
-Got a job! Most of you guys already know, I should be working in Sam's mom's insurance office as an assistant of some sort. Hopefully I can do really well and expect a little more out of it. Kinda anxious for it to start, definitely.
-I made the choice to learn Japanese, so this summer, I'm still going to open the textbooks and review my Japanese, especially grammar. I want to be proficient! So I can to go to Japan again and get around without too much English and wild hand gestures.
-Which means, I must make a return to watching Jdramas.

-In general though, still be of more help to my parents. (: I admit I don't like housework, but I need to be less lazy and spend more time with my family.
Looks like a good list to fulfill for now. If there's anything else, I'll mention it next time!

oh when you tell me you love me, when you tell me thousands and millions of times...
Funny that I somehow manage to turn this blog into a place to dump sad thoughts. You can tell that I've been alright this last month. But hey, there should be more things written here, whether they're short or long. (Random) thoughts so far:
-I really want to make special ringtones for everyone, just like the way Ken does it...except my phone can't hold up that many songs. D:
-Despite the fact I can last more than just 2 weeks at UCSD before wanting to go home, as always, no matter what, being home is really nice. Kind of like a getaway from all the hectic parts of university life.
-Looking forward to HKSU's dance on Friday and the kayaking event on Sunday!
-Looking even MORE forward to tonight's high school reunion whoooo! And the dinner my parents are preparing for the whole family tonight. :D
-I. need. a. job. :/
-Still thinking about where I want to apply to for study abroad. Actually the choices have been narrowed down to two, and these two look so much fun haha...

Break the Records
Music really does things for you, especially when you love the artist(s). KAT-TUN's new album is really good, I like all the songs and this new yet still-very-KAT-TUN-ish style. (:
How is it I feel the need to blog whenever there's studying to be done? Maybe it's because the stress. Anyhow, I've got to remember to blog more often...almost one month has passed and yeah of course, relationship-wise, I'm happy. Time flies and I want the best for this. Funny though, when parents enter the picture. I know that it's because I'm their daughter and this is the first relationship I've ever been in, but it sort makes me a bit down when there's a chance that my parents won't approve of Sam. I told my mom on the phone today that I didn't want that, because that wouldn't be good of course. And ironically it was my mom who said back to me, "well if you really do like him, then you wouldn't care whether or not your dad and I approved of him or not". And it's true right? As freaking sappy as it sounds, after the phone conversation I had to talk to Sam and tell him that even if my parents disapproved of him, I'd still want to be with him.
Still I respect my parents very much and I hope that when someday the whole "meeting the parents" thing comes along, it'll be perfectly fine so that I can look back at this and think "haha how silly I was to be worrying about this then". Maybe it's because I haven't experienced the nasty combination of love and rough reality yet. It's something I really rather not have to deal with though. Still, at the same time, maybe it's just me thinking way too much? Being self-conscious is a "weakness" of mine, I admit. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing I regret about this, just today's circumstances just made me think a little more than usual.

Just as planned we're the winners, no wonder we are team of dream
What to say? I should probably not use this blog as this place to dump all my sad thoughts...not saying I was always planning to do that, but the last few posts sure seemed like it.
It's not like the few people who read this blog don't know about what's been going on for the last couple of weeks, so yes, I will say that I'm pretty happy right now. However, I think I slept too much today.. I love sleeping and all, but I feel pretty exhausted.
Yeah okay something with more substance next time around. :P
