damn..i had curry house twice this week..i feel so bloated..blah..and plus i think i'll be in my pms stage soon..sooooooo i probably look extra bloated right now..grrrreat..hahah...oh well..the food there is always good, so i guess it was worth it=P

dude..so i was driving home yesterday from work right?..and sometimes my hands drift to the bottom of the steering wheel..i guess it's a bad habit..but it's so comfortable to just drive like that..and then on my left side i see a po-po creeping up on me..so of course..my instict says..put your hands back in the 2-10 position..or is it 2-9? 3-9?..i forgot..but in that vicinity of the steering wheel..i dunno if it was from drivers ed or just me making things extreme..but can you get a ticket from not having your hands in the correct steering wheel position?..so yah, i was thinking..if they want us to always keep our hands in those spots..why do they even bother designing all steering wheels with the peace sign kind of configuration..y'know, with the 2 spaces at the bottom half of the wheel, where it's a perfect fit to put my hands there and steer from there?..why don't they just leave the top half with the empty space and make the bottom half of the steering wheel solid?..hmm??..okay yah that was random..but doesn't it make sense?..ah well.

so it's been about 2 weeks since my little sister left for uci..kinda funny how she calls me at work, out of work, when i'm going to sleep..to ask for directions to class..what books to get..what to do if she gets locked out of her dorm..hahahah hilarious..but always good to hear from her..so sad how my parents feel like the house is sooo much more quiet w/o her there to always argue with them=P..it's stuff like that that makes my want to move out, kinda mean..i dunno, i guess i'd just feel really bad..i have like the worst guilty conscience..it's sad to think of my parents alone in the house..i mean..they could only go out with their mare's and pare's for so much..but i know they'll always want us to stay at home with them..i say, they should just retire and move closer to our other family so that they always have family around them..but that won't be for a while i think..for now, i'll just appreciate being at home..and we'll see how it goes..

geeeeeeeeez...it's thursday..woohoo...one more day! i love weekends..

yesterday was an eye-opener of a day..i let out some issues that i've been bottling up for a long time..it felt good..i hope it makes us stronger..it's something that needs to be given closure in order for me to get past all this drama..i'm sure it'll be hard..but i know it will make things better..at least i think so..thank you boyfriend for your patience and understanding..i know i don't get all cheesy on you...hehe..but if you only knew how much i appreciate you being there for me and dealing with me=P..

okay yah...so anyways..went to magic this past saturday..woohoo..i must say..my stomach twirled and whirled and did some upside down turning..but it was soooooooooo fun..i think i had big expectations for X..but after riding deja vu..nothing can compare to that..deja vu is freaking scary!..i remember i used to never worry about the safety of rollercoasters before..but this time..every ride we went on..i'd tug and pull the seatbelts/lap bars/chest pads to make sure that they were secure..i swear it must be the oldness in me kicking in..i wanted to make sure i didn't fall out..normal fear right?=P..cuz for real..some of those roller coasters..when you're 90 degrees and facing the ground..hundreds of feet in the air..it's freaking scary to know the only thing holding you in is this little padded chest bar and a seatbelt..woowee..scary..yet fuuuuuuuuuuun..let's all go back=)..

i really have this urge to go bowling..i dunno why..i think cuz we were talking about it last week and i totally want to go..who's down..let's bowl some turkeys meng!..ooooooooooh so lou & i booked our philly trip last night..yeeha i'm excited..i know i know...what's in philly..why philly...it was just a spur of the moment thing..it's the start of my traveling season..haha..first philly..then ny..seattle..d.c...florida..europe..australia..etc..i shall conquer all..muahahha...but for now..i'll conquer philly and their yummy cheesesteaks=P

sorry this should've gone out when we got back..but i had trouble posting the pics..

All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it!
