okay...lots of last minute shopping to do. i thought i was done, but i need another something for my mom so it's not just a bunch of theater tickets that she's opening tomorrow. hmm...what do you get someone that doesn't need anything? last night was white elephant....4 years and running now....probably the quickest and least stressful of them all. that was nice. but then there was cranium. i think that made up for the lack of stress in the gift exchange. club cranium's involve way to much stress for a post-white elephant game, and i was queen of them last night. *sigh* but, as always, it was a ridiculous amount of fun and i hope that everyone has friends to have that much fun with.

so i got the job. i'm an engineer. =D

i can't believe how fast christmas came this year...(2 DAYS!!!)....only been 8 months since graduation...it's interesting to see how much all our lives have changed in that short time frame, yeah? anyway....MERRY CHRISTMAS, everyone! i guess the more appropriate thing would be to say happy holidays. so HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! have a wonderful time spending it with those close to you...and be safe...very safe. and if i don't blog before the year end...happy new year, too!

isn't it frustrating when you're trying to tell someone something but you want them to guess it, so you try to initiate the guess-mode, but it fails miserably? hmm..does that make sense? see..i tried to do that to munfung today, but she just completely missed it. whooo...right over her head. so now i guess she'll have to wait, huh?

*patience* i think i have it now. =) praises.

it was snowing on my way back from royal oak last night. what a tease. i thought it would snow a lot cuz the sky's been looking like it had tons and tons of precipitation to dump on us, but nooooo....it's supposed to snow on sunday now. i just want to have a white christmas. it's not christmas without the snow.

despite good things going on in my life, i've been feeling very blah. i'm in a blah funk and i can't shake it and i don't know why.

*shake shake shake*

nope. no good. maybe i'll feel better in the morning. better pack...going to columbus for the weekend.

move over 2tongues...say hello to sharon kim. she is definitely on her way. good job tonight, sharon!!

p.s. weather forecast for tomorrow: partly cloudy with a high of 55F. 55?!! not your typical december 13th michigan weather. i'm not sure if i should love it or hate it cuz it won't snow so i can practice snowboarding before la....

one of the cutest things in the world: little kids singing their heads off about christmas.
pure joy. makes you wish that life was that simple again...reminds me of that brian mcknight song. =)

one of the most fun things in the world: cranium. now...i usually hate board games. H-a-t-e. i think i was traumatized in my childhood. but cranium is the exception. maybe it's because we get to see g and eric dance around like cowboys or alvin reach delirium while figuring out flying butresses...or maybe just because it's a team effort? it's way too stressful when it's each person for him/herself. regardless...i've never laughed so hard in my life. i guess you had to be there. we played at the guevara's place in e. lansing after g's school christmas concert. ha..they're the guevaras now. i still need to get used to that. =D

wow. what a test of patience. no car and no new job. i had to have my brother drive me to work today and my mom pick me up.

"hi, i'm twelve."

i couldn't even be cool and have my boyfriend pick me up because he's been galavanting in vegas with fun people while i'm here having my patience tested. yeah, i'm a bit jealous. teeny tiny bit. but i got over it about 2 seconds after i realized i wouldn't be going. i did get to have a fun saturday with alvin and conehead and chrissy and j and chrislum. it was a good thing bubble bliss closes because i feel that we would have had an eternal euchre tournament otherwise. it might be the best card game ever (which means that more people than those originating from michigan should learn how to play it so they can play with their native-michigan friends.) ;D

i was going to end at the ";D", but i just realized that i really need to work on my conclusions. even in high school, i was never very good at ending a paper, which might also be why i tend to go off on tangents and never really make it back to the point at hand. i'm going to work on it. it will help keep my mind off the things i'm being impatient about. (ha!)

ordered my car today.

it's pretty.

=)

i might get it tomorrow.

Wednesday, November 28, 2001


hey!!! i bet you missed me, huh? so it's been, what? a couple weeks, it looks like...what have i been doing? nothing! i'm a bum. thanksgiving was good. i swear i blogged about it, but i guess not. didn't eat myself stupid, but i did watch the buffy marathon that was on. it was ridiculous...14 hours of buffy reruns. i love it. now that i think about it, i think i just commented on everyone's site instead of blogging on thanksgiving. i'm not even going to dare try to catch up on everyone else's blogs right now in fear of not getting to bed before i have to go to work. anyway...i got to catch up with steen last thursday and then psycho me decided to try to go to best buy the day after thanksgiving at the crack of dawn only to find that the line wrapped around the building. what??!!! i'm telling you, people are c-razy.

my psycho-day-after-thanksgiving-shopping-buddies: ny, vince, alvin, chrislum, and jasmine (chrislum's cousin from cincinatti? it's definitely ohio...) =) i am not alone.

that was a great day. lots of driving, but great. the only part that was poopy was having to drive up to birch run by myself. yeah...alvin and chrislum met up with me later so that i could spend time in espirit without them waiting around for an hour. i was missing lynnchen. the rest of my poopy face friends met up with us at great lakes crossing...sticker pictures were taken...(i have them, btw)...we got boba (sorry, kyle...can't spell the chinese you taught me)....played cranium...yay! fun day. wanna know something else that's fun? i'm getting a new car! woohoo! maybe that's why i haven't been blogging...too busy doing research. haha...i hope everything goes okay. this is such a big step. financing. whoa. that's a grown-up word. an even bigger grown-up word: mortgage. yikes. anyway...

went to see the rockette's christmas spectacular at the fox with eric's family tonight. we could have been on a cruise, that's the type of show it was. it was good....we were all pretty surprised that they ended it by re-enacting the nativity scene. it was really good, and the craziest part was that they felt that it was necessary to bring out three camels, some sheep, and a goat to make it super duper great. and for those of you taht care...there were five midgets that pretended to be santa's elves. (see me shrug) one of the rockette's is from the heights and went to school with me and my brother...more so with ny cuz they were in school plays together. she was probably the best one onstage, and that's not cuz i'm biased. okay...time for bed and to let ny use his computer.

i have more caffeine pumping through my veins right now than i have had in the last year. i was shaking before. i've calmed down since then. this is exactly why i should never become one of those coffee fiends. i'm glad now that i don't need that cup of coffee every morning to get me going. i would be beyond hyper. and once i've developed a tolerance for it and tried to quit, my caffeine headaches would be infinitely worse than they are now...and i only drink one thing of pop a day. (that's soda for all you non-midwesterners.) the only thing is that coffee is free at work and pop is not. the benefits certainly need to be weighed. eric would probably say to just quit them both. hmm...pretty sure that won't happen in the near future. i don't know.

Friday, November 09, 2001


people! i realize that there is the whole "i" before "e" except after "c" or when sounded like "a" as in "neighbor" or "weigh". BUT!--there are exceptions.

excepcion supremo numero uno: the adjective that's used to describe things that are out of the ordinary...W-E-I-R-D. weird. it looks funny, but that's definitely the correct spelling.

i only bring this up because james is not my only friend that has issues with this word. so, class, the lesson for today? w-e-i-r-d NOT w-i-e-r-d.

weirdos.

no throwdown. the pistons are safe. buffy: the musical was awesome and i can't believe that joss whedon was audacious enough to make an episode where every actor bursts into song and dance. impressive.

let it also be known that chrissy has finally completed her boba mission. me and my wednesday night dinner buddy were joined by our gm-dork friends, eric and conehead, at the new boba shop in downtown rochester. very cool place...boba and korean food. (yum!) if it were closer, i might be there everyday. it was such a great night...gorgeous fall weather (sweater weather!), boba, good friends, good conversation....how lucky am i to have such great friends. it has also been determined--and this is for real--that in order for eric agustin to get it in his head how frustrating it is to never be able to reach him, an order has been declared that no one, i repeat NO ONE, should answer any phone call bearing his phone number, cell phone or home. this is extremely important in our cause to be able to effectively contact our dear friend when we need him. so help us help him come to this understanding. it's really for his own good, yeah? ;D

Tuesday, November 06, 2001


tonight is the night. buffy: the musical will be airing in t-minus 68 minutes. all i know is that there will be a throwdown if the pistons keep me from watching it.

Monday, November 05, 2001


what a weekend. i just finished watching the tape of the performances, and everyone rocked. funktion brought it. 2xs was amazing. i was so impressed. amazing. i'm just so proud of all of them...what a great first performance. =D what a great weekend. i don't think i've ever seen so many people from michigan while not in michigan. time was definitely fully maximized, though limited. we got into chicago a little late because of running late, traffic, accidents and ryan and alvin needing to buy work out benches (kidding, guys!) before they left...so i was a little worried that people wouldn't want to go out because they were tired. they were, but we went out anyway to zentra. crazy fun....ran into college roommates (!?), funny inebriated frineds, hip hop was spun...fun times. =D watched monster, inc....soo good. boo might be the cutest thing to ever be cute. then u of i. ahh. practically all of umich 2xs--old and new-- was there, practically all of funktion was there. i can't believe how many people showed up. the only bad part was all the driving we had to do. let me just say that the drive from u of i to chicago at 4am is very very difficult. tunnel vision. but it was all worth it. seeing all our friends...really it's priceless. just like the commercial says. haha. i have great friends. beautiful people, they are. i'm so blessed.

happy halloween, everybody! did everyone celebrate by stuffing themselves stupid with candy? the number of trick-or-treat-ers in my neighborhood has declined steadily since i was in middle school. we were the only house in the dead end (for those of you who have been to my house) that was passing out candy. what party poopers. even my next-door neighbors who are teachers didn't pass out candy. hmph. if i were a little kid, i might be frustrated. but i'm not, and the lack of kiddies asking for candy has left me and my brother with lots and lots of chocolate! haha...my mom always buys too much. now all we have to do is discover her stash. shouldn't be hard. she's not too good at hiding candy.

Tuesday, October 30, 2001



this whole daylight savings time is messing with me. i walk out of work at 4pm to go home and i don't know if it's semi-dark because the weather is poopy or if it's semi-dark because it's supposed to be dark soon. huh. and if it's just semi-dark because the weather is yucky, then i wish it would just rain already, because i'm not digging this *dreary* motif. well, i don't wish it to rain on the trick-or-treat-ers. it's more like i wish i wasn't so affected by the weather. gray days really make me want to do nothing. my brother tried to get me to run today at 6:45pm. okay...#1: it was dark. dark dark. like the middle of the night dark. ##2: it's cold. i feel snow threatening halloween. #3: it's devil's night. "only to schoennher and back," he says. 3 miles?! ha. maybe to conehead it's *just three miles*. i told him i'd rather do 1000 sit ups than run a mile. but i should do something active. i feel myself turning into a slug. mindless and slow-moving. i can't wait to go to chicago this weekend. i'm ridiculously excited--practically giddy. practically. i get to hang out with my greatest friends, including ny and lorie who i hardly ever get to hang out with together, and see 2xs (bunso's debut!) and funktion perform. i better sleep now cuz i probably won't be getting any this weekend....

chrislum is the best! look! it counts comments on its own! this is very exciting for me...


pet peeve #102801: boyfriends that never answer their cell phones EVER. frustration.

Thursday, October 25, 2001



today, there was snow. it's very disappointing to see snow fall before halloween. my brother recalls a halloween when it was snowing. i remember no such thing. at all. halloween = fall, yeah? what happened to fall!? i love the fall. i love sweater weather. and we've completely skipped it.

Wednesday, October 24, 2001


why is my date and time a different color than the rest of my blog? hmm...i must have messed something up when i kept moving the comment thing around. and now my computer's being whack. argh. it's been a frustrating half hour. first no boba, then no eric, and now this. i wish i knew html. i think i'll just go to bed.

comment away! i did it all by myself. like james was saying earlier....copy and paste: gotta love it.

Tuesday, October 23, 2001



the most disturbing thing on tv these days: the levis (?) low-rise jeans where the belly buttons are singing.
ewwwwwwwwwww.
belly buttons should never be filmed, never mind filmed singing. my brother has graciously taped it for me as some form of sick torture.
(fyi: the girl singing the jingle is the girl that's on the sopranos...jamie lynn something or other. she was also on the cover of maxim a few months ago.)


my house is empty. my tita and my cousin and my lolo left to go home to the philippines today and i'm sad. every time my tita leaves, i cry. i'm such a baby. it's not like i'm never going to see her again (she's coming back in the spring), but it's been that way since i had to say goodbye to her the first time she left the states when i was nine. and then i make her cry, and then we're both sitting there hugging and crying ourselves ugly. ah, well...life must go on..

i might be getting a new car. it's actually more of an i-am-going-to-get-a-new-car, but now i just have to find one to buy. but it can't be too expensive because i have no money and my insurance is going to be ridiculous since i like to drive fast and i'm not 25. shopping for a car is not as fun as shopping for clothes. at least for clothes you can just see if it fits...if it looks good and has a good price, buy it. but with a car, you have to know so many more things that i don't know, but should care about, and i assume i eventually will because i am a soon-to-be car owner. plus, i'm pretty sure that ny and eric will sufficiently educate me on everything i need to do as a soon-to-be car owner. they're good that way. i don't feel old enough to have my own car. maybe it's the whole financing thing...i've never bought anything big enough where i have to pay in installments. it's scary--like my first baby step to being independent from my mom. of course, at college i was independent from my mom because i didn't live at home, but she still made sure everything was paid for and that i didn't starve. and now i'm home, and she cooks and lets me live here for free...and, technically speaking, i'm still her dependent (so says the irs). i don't know what i'd do without her. i'd be so lost otherwise, but i don't think she knows it. maybe i should tell her.

connie cheung is my hero.
she is the only person i know that would and did run 26 miles just to run 26 miles. straight. 26 miles!!! that's nuts! i now have a friend who's a marathon runner. it is incomprehensible to me why she would do such a thing, but she did and i'm soo proud of her...so yay, conehead!!

Saturday, October 20, 2001



i've decided that i hate being at home alone. it's a completely different being-at-home-alone at home-home than at school-home. at school-home you have 20 closest friends and a couple dance groups to hang out at all hours of the day and going home at the end of the night/beginning of the morning is just so you can get the minimal sleep required to get through the next day. and everyone's a short walk or a shorter drive away. here, you have to drive everywhere and everything closes early, and currently, everyone's gone. ny went to visit lorie at her pad in k'zoo, eric went to help out at the youth retreat for his church, my mom, cousin, tita, and lolo all left for branson, missouri on thursday, and kimmie was in a2. she's here now, but she was supposed to come up to the pistons game with chrislum and alvin and j and brian (and galvez--he met us up there) to meet me, but she hoed me out for this thing called 2xs. ;D so after a great night hanging out with my great buddies (fyi...pistons beat the heat: 90-76, i think), i came home to an empty house. it's scary. on my way to being well into my twenties, i'm still afraid of my basement (there is a very valid reason, ask me later if you want), so you can imagine how creepy i feel the rest of the house is when it's dark and late and i'm by myself. so i try to busy myself by watching iron chef, but the sensor light in our backyard kept going off, and i was too chicken to see what it was so i just went to bed. the important thing now is that i'm chillin' with my favorite sister, watching old episodes of buffy and drinking bubble tea. =D and i'm not at home alone. it doesn't get much better than this.

Thursday, October 18, 2001



so yesterday i said my brain needs to be challenged.
today eric and chrissy and me are a book club.
needless to say, the mess of mush that is my brain was stirred, and now it will be challenged to form into the mass that used to be useful and must be again.

haha...mass mess miss moss muss. those are all real words.

it is a good day. there was sunshine, my pool got closed, i had dinner with my 7pm wednesday night dinner buddy + 1, and i'm going to read a new book.

Tuesday, October 16, 2001

my brain needs to be challenged. i've found that i speak only in simple sentences ever since i graduated. even my job doesn't even remotely require me to speak or write in polysyllabic words. and my attention span has dwindled to the size of a pea. maybe that comes with being a human robot for money. i hate money. i wish we didn't need it, then i wouldn't have to be a human robot for 40 hours of my week. we should just barter goods.
look at me. i have a template. i know it's boring, but it's better than just white, yes? i just need to figure out how to change the damn title (since it is way past my birthday) and the message on the right. kimmie did that, and i thought i changed it, but apparently not.

huh.

i feel there is much confusion in my living room right now. my cousin and my aunt are trying to send a box off to the philippines, which they thought was going to be sent tomorrow, but the guy is ready to pick it up like now. there's a lot of freaking out and my one cousin is yelling into her phone. over a box. it must be a pretty big deal if they're making this much fuss about it. all i know is that the weather is really poopy right now. it makes me want to sleep all day. i want the sun to come out. people are never in a good mood when it's this gloomy.

don't you hate it when people call you by a nickname that only your dear friends and family call you? it's as if they think they know you, but they have no idea. (haha...this is the diary of annalisa...i am such a dork.)

Thursday, October 11, 2001

between dequindre rd. and john r rd. is a distance of 1 mile. i travel that using 15 mile rd/maple rd. it usually takes me 20 minutes max to go from my house to my work on 15 mile rd/maple rd which is a distance of 6 miles. maybe 7 and a half. so tell me why it took me 20 minutes to get from dequindre to john r this morning. granted, i was late (yeah, yeah...nothing new), but 20 minutes!!!! it's not like this is the city. it's suburbia for crying out loud. there was no accident, no construction, no school buses stopping you every 10 seconds...just plain old people driving their cars RETARDED. i mean, did i miss the memo that said to automatically drive like a dumbass between dequindre and john r??? come on now...reaction time, people! that's all i'm talking about--stepping on the gas once the car in front of you starts to move instead of waiting for them to cross the damn intersection before you zone back to earth, take a minute to realize that the light is green, realize that you can go and then go. and the worse part is that once you pass john r: normal. no traffic at all. so avoid being that guy. or those guys. you know...the ones that drive retarded. stay alert. remember: retarded drivers = traffic jam = no good (+ super duper late for work).

Monday, October 08, 2001

well this is no good.

my page is so boring. to everyone who's reading this, i'm sorry i have such a boring blog spot. it's just that i'm not motivated to put the template back up cuz kimmie did it for me, but it was from a temporary spot (or something, can't remember), so now it's gone and i'm boring. =( boo. maybe i should get off my lazy bum and learn to do it myself. i'll be a computer nerd. but i can't start now, cuz my lolo and my tita are already back from their cruise. translated: the spider solitaire addict is back. no computer time for nana. huh. so maybe around halloween, huh? that's when they leave. yeah...it'll give me something to do since i'm pretty much a loser cuz i don't do anything except go to dinner with chrissy every wednesday at 7pm. we're dinner buddies. (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, dinner friend!!!! woohoo! the big 2-2. =| you're right. what a dumb birthday. we should just become 21 until we're 25 and our car insurance goes down.) i guess i watch tv, too...all i have to say is: buffy lives. my brother says fx is becoming one of his favorite channels, and i must say that i agree. i mean, anyone who shows buffy and ally--i know really different, and i know that there are a lot of you that think i'm a dork for watching buffy, but i don't care!--five times a week is a great channel. and if you're into the practice, they show that, too...so yay.

i've been making my lunch every day so that i can have money to go to l.a. i feel like a little kid. i'm going to make my lunch for tomorrow now, and i'm going to put a jello cup in it. lemon-lime...the best kind. =D and then i'm going to go to bed because i'm old now and i have to get up early. yuck. i will never be a morning person.

Thursday, October 04, 2001

gosh, it's been forever. chrissy told me i had to blog. good thing, cuz i almost forgot about this. (i know...yikes! forget about blogging...it was almost a shame). but for real, almost really means almost. i am presently blogging. logging my brain. or letting my brain log. anyway...see, the thing is that my lolo and my tita and my cousin are all visiting from the philippines for a month or so for my other cousin's wedding...and my lolo just happens to be an 81-year-old free cell/spider solitaire FREAK. yes, freak. i don't think he does anything else while he's here. i mean, my mom has to pry him away so that he can eat, but i think that's it. it's cute...(he wants to buy a computer now so he can play when he gets back to the philippines)...but that means i can't use the computer til really late, and being the grown-up working girl that i am (...haha...not!) i have to sleep early so i can make it to work by 7am, which, by-the-way, i have not been very successful about for the last week and a half. it's bad. and what's even worse is that i spend half the work day honing my minesweeper skills. being a rookie minesweeper-er, miss mun fung had to show me the easy way to play and i finally won the expert (? i think that's the level...the one with 99 mines) level today. woohoo! i was pretty pleased with myself, but i had no one to share my victory with cuz i wasn't supposed to be playing in the first place. so now whoever reads this can be happy for me, too! =) yay. =D so anyway..the point of my story (whoa, sidetrack) is that now i can blog cuz my lolo and my tita are on a cruise in the carribean for a week. i knew i had to bring this back around somehow. i need to work on that. eric pointed that out to me. (thanks, man..) so if you ever find me just running away with a story with no point whatsoever, just stop me and ask me to get to it. yeah? yeah.

i'm leaving for toronto in a few hours so that i can be at my cousin's wedding. it should be fun...(i need to pack). i'm not looking too forward to the car ride there, tho'. have you ever gotten acquainted with someone who you just don't seem to click with. and not just not clicking, but you get this funny bothersome...um,...irk, i guess, cuz you really can't handle being around them for too long? yes? no? i do, and i don't like it. i'm supposed to love everyone, even the people i don't like, and this is truly a test. not that i don't love this person, i do...cuz we're related, but i don't particularly like this person. y'know? it's already been a month (yikes, a month?!) of that in my house. i think it's gonna be another month. i guess that gives me time to develop my patience, eh? (look...i'm getting ready to go to canada...heehee. i'm a dork and it's really late for me, so give me a break.) anyway...i'm just gonna be content knowing that at the end of the car ride is gonna be some really good....(dundunDUN!)...boba! yay! i think that will make my whole trip. that and eaton center, except i'm not supposed to shop cuz i'm a poor girl that's going to l.a. after christmas and i need to save. speaking of l.a....can i even put into words how excited i am?!!! i don't think so. all i know is that i'm going, and i'm gonna get to hang out with eric and chrissy and conehead and lynnchen and hongshin and jon and james and george (she said she would go so she better!) and who knows what friends we'll suck in by making them play with us. (heehee..that's how we got james.) i am currently playing the part of the ignorant l.a.-goer who's going along with the flow. like amit last year to tahoe. just as long as i get to see my friends and to snowboard, i'm cool. =)

laundry calls and i feel like i've written a book. maybe like a page compared to some of chrissy's entries...(just kidding, girl!). i got to go to 2xs call backs and see the newbies...it was so good to see everyone and to be in that atmosphere again. i really miss it. i'm so jealous that i can't be there to see the group carry on, especially with such an awesome bunch of people....did i mention that everyone is so talented? i'm very excited to see what happens. but yeah...i did that, too on my bloggin hiatus. ooh, and i got to meet the funktion newbies. studs, i tell ya. i really feel that becoming part of funktion ups the stud factor at least 5 points. i'm excited for them, too. so laundry and packing are both calling....i'm so glad i don't have to go into work tomorrow....

Tuesday, September 11, 2001

so i decided to call in sick to work today so i could do some hard core job searching for a real grown-up job. you know...making connections, phone calls, emails, faxes....i was feeling weird about doing job-hunt calls at work. i feel that i have to be super sneaky about making the phone calls when i'm at work so that someone doesn't walk in while i'm going " can i have your fax number so i can send you my resume?" and then get all offended that i'm looking for a new job cuz mine is not so great and then--this is the worst part, tho' it's pretty certain that this will never happen--they would tell on me to my project manager. not that people actually tell on each other. anyway...making phone calls at work was way too stressful. so here's my point: i took the day off to job search but then some stupid group of terrorists decides to hijack planes and ram them into manhattan and the pentagon, sending panic to everyone in the u.s. (especially me), ultimately sending everyone in every major metropolitan area home from work. so much for making contacts. looks like i might have to stay home from work again tomorrow. do you think that work will be open tomorrow? hmm..

but i do have to say that i am so so so so so so so happy and grateful that all my friends in nyc are safe and sound and my prayers and my heart go out to all the victims and their families and friends. what a shock. for everyone, i mean. it's such a scary thing that we could have lost so many of our friends and that thousands of people are probably dead because of this and that the attacks didn't have to stop on the east coast. hopefully they're stopping.

it is a sad day.

it's really important to pray for everyone affected by this, and it's also really important to pray for the people who did this. i know it's so hard to pray for the people that hurt you, but they are the people that probably need the most prayers out of anyone.

hmm...not too much going on with me. i watched the vma's last night like a slave to pop culture. i taped it, too, even though i know it will be on a million more times this week alone. i'm about to go to ann arbor in a few minutes...if eric can get his blogger to work. i like ann arbor. great bubble, umich. =D i have to remember to bring a fan for bunso. see? i didn't forget. not that i remember the rest of the stuff she asked me to bring to her....

i'm getting the feeling that this won't be a very consistent thing for me. it's like me checking email and getting on aim...not very often. you know what i need? i need my own computer at my own desk at a job where i have my own phone. is that so much to ask? i didn't think so. that's why i'm looking for a real job. i need to get out of ppg and industrial labs where everyone is at least a decade and a half older than me. =P but you know what? i'm not gonna complain, cuz i'm going to be motivated in my jobsearch. thank God eric's helping me...he's the coolest. i miss being a student. i feel that not being around my twenty greatest friends in the world has left me to be really boring. and dancing...man, i need to do that more often, too. it was so awesome to dance last sunday (even though it was in front of a gym-full of filipinos there to watch basketball) with eric and steve. and the greatest part was that jonyang and sam and pz and gonads and rollen and chrislee and babbs were all there. ooh! you can't forget joeria...that is where my dancing at umich began (right, martin?!). i really need to find a way to dance. maybe my cousin will hook me up with a gig as a hip hop aerobics instructor....
