| I started off today as I have been doing for couple of days, waking up eight in the morning by the coarse sound of electric saw gnawing at the tree outside my window. There have been people since last week going down the block right outside my window cutting down tree branches one by one. Oh how pleasant it was to wake up to such cacophony. Then I got myself up to go eat breakfast alone, had some leisure time for reading =), and fell asleep to short sweet nap. Then awaken up by a call, I shook myself up. I cooked today. My dduk bok gi turned out to be pretty successful.
I think it actually takes better using the soup rice cake because the rice cakes turns out to be softer than the other kind. Too bad I had to eat it myself. I really don't like to cook for myself. I think I would rather eat a cup ramen when I am alone than to cook something for 30 minutes which takes me 10 minutes to eat and 20 more minutes to clean up. But it didn't take me today that long to cook dduk bok gi so I guess it was okay.
Then I went to work. It felt a little bit weird today at work and in a good way. I guess the holiday spirit is kicking in. It wasn't that chaotic with hordes of kids misbehaving. It was actually very chill with candies, chocolate, Christmas gifts, and more conversation in the classroom. If everyday at work could be like today's... but I am so glad that today was last day of work until the year 2008!
Then I went to Grace's house in diamond bar to tutor Boa. Her new house is so cute. It made me want to get married for some reason seeing her dad fix up the house and seeing her mom organizing the house. Anyways Grace got me some undiesss for Christmas gift. They were really cute. haha and it was funny how she didn't even bother to wrap them. 'ohgrace. i wrapped yours, but I forgive you since you just recently moved.'
On my way back home, i returned a pleasant call from Jessica, my old friend. She's back in the states and she planned to meet up. I think it has been about two years since I last saw her. Anyways, right after I hung up, (yes i was talking on the phone while driving) a car in front of me backed up for some reason and hit my car! He swerved into a parking lot where we both got out into the rain to check our cars. My license plate got dented =/ but it was okay so we went on to our separate ways.
Then I came home, ate some more dduk bok gi, and here I am enjoying the sound of rain drops outside my window. Hopefully I will be able to wake up to this same sound of rain drops instead of the monstrous sound of electric saws cutting down any more trees outside my window.

| I was looking at pictures from last year... and I could tell that my face has gotten chubbier. It might not be noticeable but i did gain weight and i need to lost them. As much as I hate saying the phrase "I have to lose weight," I am afraid that I won't be able to keep my size as time passes by and I get older. Sadly, I am not a lean teen anymore.
playing with my new camera
i drank coffee at the scholarship banquet today.. which is why I am up writing in here.
i like daisies... this sounds a little freaky but something about their symmetric patterns of the petals intrigue me. =)
my room never stays clean...
I think it's so cute when kids cry helplessly.
six more days to Christmas.
I want to go to NY.
I never knew wearing just legging around the house was so comfortable.
I had to wear high heels today and utterly despised the fact that I was born a girl.
Red is my favorite color but I rarely wear anything red.
things to do this weekend: finish herOes series, finish reading Legacy of Faith, finish Christmas shopping, start cooking for madre, start on Harry Potter, and start on my to-do-list.

| I've been studying all today morning and went to work hoping that there would be a change for the good of the day. but little did i know that it was going to be another hectic day at work. and for the worse part, there was a boy who sat next to me who wouldn't stop farting... it smelled like kimbab mixed with mandu... ekkkk gross and i had to smell that until he was done and gone. he used to pick his nose so obnoxiously that i could see his finger maneuvering inside his nasal passage as if he was mining for gold. but thankfully he doesn't do that anymore... and towards the end of work around 6:30 when i thought all the trouble was gone as the room emptied out, my expectation was short lived. a boy came in. he was so rowdy. he wouldn't listen. he made me bust our my grave tone. but more than that i really don't understand some of the parents who don't discipline their kids. there are kids around 5 years old who are too young to do their homework on their own; the parents should instigate to help their kids to do their homework. but they come without having their homework done at all. and their work is really easy; they are writing down numbers 1-5 five times or identifying different colors. it only takes 10 minutes total to do the homework. i don't understand why those parents who don't have their kids finish their homework send their kids to kumon. the time it takes for them to drop them off at kumon will probably take longer than sitting down with them to do homework. i would understand if they want their kids to be in an environment involved with more people but not when they don't do their homework all the time. that means the parents don't care and would rather have someone else help their kids. gahh... makes me so mad and i feel so bad for some kids. they don't even know how to hold the pencil properly. some first graders don't know how to read at all. they have the worst attitude... one time, there was a student on my table doing his work in scribbles and in bad postures, sighing every minute, and giving me an attitude when i tried to correct him. and the mom was just sitting next to him reading newspapers. at that moment, i had nothing to say. and there are parents giving candies to their kids who whine of doing their work. sigh.. makes me so frustrated and... speechless.
okay enough about work madness.
on the brighter side, i came home today and i saw christmas lights up!!!!
i've been nagging my dad to put it up with me for days. and he already finished putting them up when i came home. that really made me happy because usually in my family i am the only person who cares about putting christmas decorations on. my dad said that he hurried up so that he could have it done before i came home to surprise me =D hehe happy moments.. AND he cooked dinner too. =D
so after dinner with my dad, mommy and brother came home. we had our third family worship today. yup three and counting. epiphanies, dismay, warmth, discomfort, awkwardness, gladness... so much to be thankful for.. so much to pray for.. so much to hope for and look forward to...
okay i should go study now. two more finals left!
good luck to those who are taking finals!

| one and half week of school left.
i was reading jean's xanga entry and i was inspired to write here because i haven't done so for such a long time.
and my room is so messy... clutter everywhere!!.... 4 used up water bottles, 2 cups with green bags, crumbled receipts, and scattered pens all over my desk. and clothes and bags everywhere else... gahhhh it makes me go crazy.. but im too lazy to clean it often to keep it always clean... i let it pile up until i really have to clean and then i clean all the way...i wouldn't be able to stop until everything is cleaned... and many times i clean to the point where i end up taking out everything from my desk drawers and organizing everything neatly! im crazy...
my boss said about 2 months ago that I'm getting a raise on December.. but when i got my pay yesterday.. to my dismay, i didnt get any raise.. so i figured what she meant was that i'm getting a raise for the work on December which means a month from now. yeah.. so that was a bummer...
another bummer.... i couldn't get into the class that i need for spring semester..
my registration date was on the 4th day.. and yet i couldn't get to the physio class which is the only class that i need to take during the spring... i hate how it's gets so crowded in mtsac.
anyways.. i'm so excited about winter break! im excited for passion, mammoth trip, and the after x-mas party! and my dad said that my camera is coming coming some time during december... i hope it comes soon.. i've been camera-less for too long. ok now time to make my room clutter-freeeeeeeeee
im a champion
