June 9, 2013 Back from ASIAAAA! I haven't signed in for months and decided to see what's up. Things have quieted down here a bit...at least for me. Nobody I used to be excited to see seems to be around anymore. Hmm....well, I'm just glad that school's out and I can relax. I really miss Asia though. Like, I feel withdrawal symptoms almost. haha. And I'm completely jet-lagged. I slept at 8am yesterday and woke up around 4pm, which would be normal if I was still in Asia. For now, I watch the sun rise, then I go to sleep, and wake up almost when the sun's going down. You know, just mixing it up. haha. Oh well, it'll all work out in time.

Past: December 18, 2012 "It's sad to lose a part of the family, but at the same time, we get to learn the value of time faster than anyone else. We know how to get the most out of life, and that's truly an advantage." I read that quote in a manga of all places, but it really stuck with me. haha I was watching some corny made for tv movie, but when they sang "Baby, Please Come Home", I was tearing up. The part that really got me was, "it's not like Christmas at all cause I remember when you were here..." and "Pretty lights on the tree, I'm watching them shine, you should be here with me." We didn't put a tree up this year because we thought it would be too sad. Hm...I guess it's just strange how much can change in a year, huh? Not that I'm not happy, it's just when I'm alone with only my thoughts accompanying me, I still get a little depressed from time to time.
December 7, 2012 So busy lately....Me and my sister drew and hand-painted Mary and Joseph cardboard cutouts for a display at the hospital. It was cool bc I haven't used a paintbrush in awhile. But, we got them done in two days over like 15 hours and they were really big. I have to say, though, they look really good. (; Also doing a bunch of other art projects, like some hand-drawn Christmas cards and a portrait and other stuff. And, we're documenting the whole thing and making time lapses of our projects. It's cool seeing a big piece of cardboard form into Mary at 100x speed. haha. Also, there's a wedding coming up!!!! I was asked if I could do the bride's hair....Well, me and my sisters were, but I'm always the one doing everyone's hair before we go out so I think I might have to take the lead. I'm a bit nervous about that~
October 22, 2012 It's official babbyyyy~ On May 12, 2012, I'm leaving the country for a one month trip to Asia, and hopefully Australia if there's time. Going to relax and see some of my family members at a family reunion. c: On the flip side, I keep putting off studying for my Calculus Placement Exam. Guess I'm a little nervous about it. D:
October 7, 2012 You know, in a perfect world, without economic woes, worry of job stability, and free of high parent and family expectations, I would be an artist or graphic designer for a living. But, it's not like that. At least I've finally convinced my parents (and myself) that being a doctor is not my true calling. I really really really wanted it to be my calling, because it would've been easier that way. Lucky for me, I've found a perfect balance. I'm good at computers and coding, so I'm now aiming to be a programmer or software engineer. And, I'm actually excited about it. This way, I'm happy, and my parents are happy. c: Plus, my sister and I are doing some freelance art on the side, so that's a plus. Anyway, soon I have to take a calculus placement exam and I'm nervous. I have to test into Calculus for Engineers I (and II and III)....AND I'm not allowed anything lower than a B if I want to get my Master's Degree. Ughghghghghg. Plus, it's expensive to go to school....Man, I'm a bit stressed about it all~
Sept. 9, 2012 Went to the art museum yesterdayyyy!! Didn't get to see everything though, because if you go to the art museum, especially with me, you'll spend like an hour in each exhibit. haha. Anyway, one of my favorite pieces was Mass (cold dark matter) by Cornelia Parker, which was an AMAZING structure created by floating pieces of charred material obtained from a church that burnt down. I tried to take pictures, but they don't do it justice. It looked like an explosion suspended in time...or like you were looking at the universe from the outside. I mean...I can't explain it. Also, there was a piece called You Who are Getting Obliterated in the Dancing Swarm of Butterflies by Yayoi Kusama. It was a darkened room full of mirrors with suspended LED lights that changed colors. And WOW...you feel like you're floating. It makes you feel disoriented and it's quite disarming. The way the lights and mirrors bounce off each other makes you feel like you're in an infinite space. I understand the title of getting obliterated because that's exactly how it is. You become small and almost cease to exist within the infinity...if that even makes sense. It's kind of scary, but also really awe-inspiring. The best part is first walking in. It's like walking into a different world. Definitely an experience. Anyway, I'm not trying to sound philosophical or anything. It just was really awesome. Haha. Besides that, we took some cool pictures and also ate delicious pizza at an outdoor cafe~
Aug. 25, 2012 $347.97 -- That's how much me and my sister have made off of freelance art commissions so far. O: Might be a little more bc I think we spent some. It's pretty cool. We started out designing things for free, but eventually our family pushed us to charge, so there you have it. On the other hand, I'm starting to feel normal again. This summer has been so crazy and devastating and I feel like a different person now than I was just...3 months ago. But, 21, c** laude with a Bachelor's degree of science in biological sciences and going for a second degree doesn't sound so bad to me. That's where I am right now. I'm just trying to stay positive and figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life. I planned on going to med school but I don't feel like it's right for me anymore. Hmmm.... Well, guess we'll see where life takes me~
June 4, 2012 Just working on my profile~ Almost done.
Feb. 24, 2012 Aaah I haven't signed in for over a month. O: I guess I've been busier than I thought. Hmmm anyway, I'd really like to change my profile. After taking design classes it really bothers me. It's too cluttered and...bleh. Plus I'm all about minimalism now. Well, maybe when I have the time I'll get around to it~
November 25, 2011 wooooow, I just completed my first ever black friday shopping trip! o.o it was craaaaazy. crazy lines, crowds, and just plain madness. I've never experience something like that before. haha my dad got a tv. I got a pair of earrings and a cardigan. I wanted an xbox 360 but they were gone in seconds D: haha I probably won't do this again next year. xD
