Resolutions: – Don’t fight w/ D or Drew – Clean room and KEEP it clean – More Dance Central & WiiFit WiiSports – Go dentist (now it’s more like a to-do list -_-) – more later… maybe

I don’t think you should only be thankful during Thxgiving season, you should always be thankful of things in your daily life. Just like how you should love like everyday is Valentine’s, start anew like everyday is New Year’s, and be happy & kind like everyday is Christmas. I would like to try.

Well just the other night, I was in the car with Mikey, and I was saying things are so different from last year. It’s kinda hard to believe it’s only been a year that’s passed by. It felt so short, and so long ago, too. This year’s Thxgiving, I’m a little gloomy in particular because I’m constantly remembering last Thxgiving. I hope this will go away soon, cuz I really don’t wanna be trippin’ over the past. And pointless past, at that. I’m happier now, I have great friends around me, and a guy that loves me. I don’t wanna let images of last year to get in my head and make me frown. But honestly, I don’t think it can be helped (CURSE THIS ELEPHANT-LIKE memory of mine! xO) I want to make awesome new memories with new people this year, and let THIS be the holiday memory I look back on.

For the remainder of the year when it gets cold, I’ll probably have these rushes of memories again. But I don’t pout because I miss it, I pout because I let it bug me when it shouldn’t. I want the day to come where I’ll be ok with it, because that’ll mean I’m TRULY over it. Don’t rush, just relax. Humph…

Here’s to:
Thxgiving hot pot & game night!
Xmas shopping & wrapping!
Dinner & movie w/ Drew
and my favorite – ICE SKATING!!! xD

Go go Linny!

Grumpy. And miss my babe. That is all =T

Um, sorry about [below] >_< anger I drooled on the pillow today, SO MUCH! It was a small pool. It’s my week with Kitteh, and Nov seems to be looking well. Not too many plans or outings, hopefully save some money for that holiday shopping. I miss getting gifts for ppl and wrapping them – one of my joys in life. I saw mommy on Friday for bday dinner, and then 4-pack game night. Sat was w/ the boy, followed by trip to Mikey’s for TV and pr0n-con talk. So much nekkid things! Oh Mai geebus. Aladdin was great tho, I’m ingenious w/ my 3D idea Sunday was with Ace again. I LOVE our days together! Eating, walking, chatting, napping are the BEST! No joke. It’s almost unfair how great it feels xP Iz a happy Linny. BRING ON THE HOLIDAYS!

Do me a favor, don’t piss me off. Now in addition to that, don’t piss me off at night time!!! Do you know how fuckin’ HARD it is to go to sleep mad?! And I have to wake up early in the morning to go to work! Yeah, the exact thing that screwed me today, I gotta face it again tomorrow not only angrily, but now sleep-deprived thanks to you. Honestly, you makd me feel like a damn fool. How I always wait for you. I waited for you before, and I still wait for you now. What the fuck am I doing?! When will you stop having me wait for shit? Ok, so you couldn’t be here for me, you couldn’t even show any concern any other way? Geez, thanks a lot. Thanks for making me feel shittier on my already shitty day. Of all things to fail, I didn’t think you would. At the end, texting empty words… then strung me along another text just to leave me hanging and waiting for you AGAIN. But of course, I’m guessing you’d have fallen asleep at this point. At least one of us can actually sleep now. For some reason, I suddenly feel like so much of my efforts, thoughtfulness, and sacrifices were in vain. If you cannot even do this much for me, then you weren’t worth what I did for you. What the fuck.

Oooh yea, thaz right. Not gonna blame it on the PMS, but I’ve been eating like a BEAST! Something is wrong, I’m like a blackhole, where’s all this food going?! O_o I ate SO much last wk: school brkfst (hungry again before lunch), school lunch (hungry again before dismissal), dinners with ppl (mcnuggets craving, Halal food craving, hotpot, pollo a la braza, burgers & fries, and junkfood)… Good Lord! I better make it my goal to work this off with the newly arrived Dance Central.

Feel like sh!t these two days! BOO! >:(

Honestly, I’m glad I only work 4 days… cuz it’s very exhausting and draining to work with little children.  Once again, it’s not so much the yelling as it is the repeating of everything I say x10… -_-  and I don’t think I’m meant to work with young kids either, if anything I’m better with teenagers or peers… but ANYWAY!

Wknd started on Friday for me.  Met up with the cutie, and we headed out to city in the afternoon.  Finally had Pret A Manger for the first time (first eatery we passed by, coming up from the subway, and he went “Oooh *drool*”), it was something between Starbucks and Au Bon Pain… was ok.  Everything tasted very fresh, but I didn’t wanna fill up cuz we’d be going to PoCha later on.  Our first stop was Build-A-Bear, and that took a LONG time!  We looked thru both floors, then took near forever to pick out our animals for each other (mine was a gray cat, his was a blue bear).  The stuffing process was even longer because of the way I wanted the dolls to feel, a specific softness, if you will.  He eyed me while I was “negotiating” with our bear-stuffer, and we threw funny glances @ each other.  The dressing-up part was fun cuz we were trying to figure what clothes looked like ourselves, and then there was the whole Timbs VS Converse mini-argument/confusion.  At the end, we both walked away with 2 huge bulky boxes, and since it was raining, an additional big plastic bag over them… If I wasn’t so absorbed in the joy of walking with him, I’d probably notice the glances we caught everytime we weaved thru the crowd with those ridiculous things in our hands xP

The Lego Store was goose-egg for us =T  And yes, yelp sucks.  We went to the location it was said to be at (Rockefeller Center) and nothing.  Both tired from standing/walking/raining, we moved on to Toys R Us.  Almost had a cuteness overdose and passed out from the cute Forest Critters fuzzy figurines they had “on sale” (which was still expensive as hell).  There were cute @$$ small kitties, bunnies, puppies, hedgehogs, chipmunks, fieldmice, and for some reason Pandas & Elephants (forest critters?!). Ooookay~!  Didn’t catch any good deals with Legos or boardgames, and couldn’t even find Kai-Lan O_o  oh well…  Stopped by Midtown Comics real quick, which by now was already dark.  We looked thru some Street Fighter artwork, then headed over to K-town cuz we are now starving.

PoCha32 was more packed than we’d hoped, so we had to park ourselves over @ Paris Baguette for some time (like an hour).  Good thing their coffee was great   We chit-chatted for a while, actually we chatted the WHOLE day.  And when PoCha called us back, we flew upstairs, ready for budae jjigae to GET IN OUR BELLY~!!!  The food was good as usual, he said it was worth the wait   I’m glad.  We finished the whole pot then headed back home.  It was a great day, had everything, can’t complain~

Day 2 – Saturday Dancing w/Nam Church girls >:D

When we’re not caroling, we’re dancing, heh, wut can I say?  When I got there, the first person I saw was #1, then Winnie, and waiting for Nydia, then Pusan who came realli late.  We went over ET, Wu Niang, and Derrick Hoh… and as if 3 choreo’s aren’t enuff, wen my other songs in the playlist popped in inbetween, we gave them a good free stylin’, too O_O  We went to town with J.Lo.’s On The Floor, Taio Cruz’s Dynamite, Usher’s OMG, and airband-ed the entire Raise Your Glass by Pink.  It was nuts!  So tiring and so fun!  Wish #2 can be there w/us, too, but she has SAT prep class =T  The night ended with Fresca A La Crepe, and Boston Market… mmm,  yummy!  I think next to singing, dancing w/the girls is the best venting, best feeling, and best way to exercise after the work week.

Day 3 – Sunday party!

Aaron booked the party room at Place @ Main for April babies’ bday Elleinn, Nydia & Mikyoung.  We danced and sang (SO FREAKIN exhausting to do!  I did the whole Derrick Hoh, and I thought I was gonna pass out x_x).  Did some of our old Korean choreo’s: Ring Ding Dong, Fire, and picked up a new song I’d like to try next – Lachata~

Went back to the church to do yet MORE dancing, while waiting for Derrick to meet up with us to head to K-town.  After dropping the kids off (NOT @ the pool), we went to Food Gallery 32, which is the Korean high-end version of Flushing Mall… Omg, SO clean and SO delicious!  I had to get the crepes, of course.  We had a good meal, all ate different things, then walked off some fat around Herald Square.  Got McCafe, then went to a Loew’s I’ve never been to to watch Source Code.  T’was a decent movie, just not the kind I was hoping, I guess.  What’s the deal with infusing all this sci-fi with love stories nowadays, instead of with action?!  GIMME SOME ACTION!  I forgot how we got home that night cuz I was so tired & sleepy… but yeah, definitely a fully entertaining wknd.  I wish they’d all be like this :]  Seeing my favorite people~

So Mikey flies to Texas today for aviation school for 5 wks.  To celebrate, we had a 6-pack reunion (2nd one since the new year), and went to Jersey to eat Sonic & Dairy Queen that we’ve longed for so much, watching commercials here from NYC.  5 outta 6-packs were there (minus Aaron, cuz of werk), and our good friends Lina, Luckcy, & Allan.

Mikey’s car (the evil car): Drew, Allan & me
Dz car (the Forest Hills Playa): Barry, Lina, & Luckcy

Stop #1 – brunch @  Sonic!
Right outside the Lincoln Tunnel @ Jersey, our car got there WAY before the FHP… and while discussing who is a faster driver than D (the answer is: everybody except me -_-;;), we ordered up a $50 storm.  We got sandwiches (on toast, not roll or hero), cheeseburgers, fries, tots, hotdogs, slushies, shakes, etc… By the time the FHP came in, we’d already finished our meal O_O  Their check only came out to be $31 (thaz cuz everyone only ordered 1 meal, unlike us with the meal and side and extra drink, and EXTRA side xD).   While the FHP ate, we went to Toys R Us in search for some Lego’s fer Drew. 
Apparently everything in Jersey is cheaper, we had a good time looking @ board games, legos, instruments, and tossing balls around.  It was kinda weird for 8 Asians to roll up in Toys R Us.  Btw, we were all dressed in some kind of white, gray, black, and blue.  Next stop to kill time before eating  again, Newport Mall.
You can’t really keep 5 guys and 3 girls together in a mall… naturally we split up.  The girls ducked into Express, Victoria’s Secret (Lina got me a nice lil gift ), Hollister;  the dudes ducked into GameStop, Radio Shack, Brookstone, and American Eagle.  We then took some photobooth pix via Dz iPhone app outside the mall’s bathroom.  Luckcy & I did the same poses  in 4 pix w/o even arranging it! Ha!  Oh, and finally, NEWPORT MALL PARKING LOT SUCK BIG FAT LARDY ASS! That is all.

Stop #2 – afternoon snack @ Dairy Queen
Having seen so many commercials here about their Blizzard… it turned out to be no more than a fancy McFlurry.  I think 5 outta 8 of us got a Blizzard, but I wasn’t really impressed.  Barry’s Strawberry CheeseQuake was good, but I gave mine away after just 1 bite, which apparently kept Luckcy up cuz of the sugar high   From here, it was a long and confusing drive to our 3rd stop.  Actually, thru-out the whole day, both cars’ GPS was acting up.  Kept rerouting and shit, arrrgh!

Stop #3 – dinner & shopping @ Mitsuwa
It is now official, anytime we come back to Jersey, Mistuwa’s gonna be the FIRST stop, or else we can’t shop in peace and enjoy the food to its full tastebud satisfaction.  We got in at 7 something and had to wait to meet up w/everyone before we started going up & down the aisles.  We went thru half the market and got the warning that food court last call is approaching– AHHHH!!!  *dumps shopping cart aside & runs for food* 2 of us by the Taiyaki stand, 2 more by the ramen stand, 2 more by the fried food shop, and myself getting soba & gyo-don.  Somehow we all found each other, trays in hand, and cleared out a nice strip on the bartop to enjoy-not-really-enjoy the deliciious Japanese goodies (pix on facebook, haha).  Then it was quickly inhaling the food and going back to the market cuz THEY ARE CLOSING soon… geebus!   Most of us stocked up on alcohol, rice crackers, some cosmetic stuff, and topped it off with a group pic in the parking lot.

Driving back home was ok, but we were all full and kinda uncomfortable from all the food we’d consumed that day, haha!  Mikey packed some tshirts and shorts for Texas, and we both went to sleep @ 12 something.  Next morning he woke me at 630 to say bye, and I fell back asleep.

I can only say, best weekend ever in a LONG time.  From Thursday movie night (Sucker Punch w/Maxx crew), Friday Peruvian dinner @ Pollo Inka Peru, Saturday road trip, and Sunday just chillin’ w/one of my favorite people.  It was great to see everyone ^_^

I think it was because after a while, all my posts were pix of events, which seemed like the main function of Facebook. Plus Facebook was more exclusive, so I just sorta poof-ed. But I had to face the fact that I remembered the past and people so much better when I wrote about it. So xanga is necessary.

Recent concerns:
Job – Just need to tweak the résumé, and wanna hop on my dream train already! It’s surprising how optimistic I became after finally finishing the résumé (I think it was looking at the “accomplishments” and realizing maybe I’m not a TOTAL lost cause).
Hair – Too long and annoying. Haven’t had it this long since 2007. I think if I can be sure my crush wouldn’t consider me uggoz after going short, and if I can spare the $ for it, I’d chop it off >_< Is it possible to “miss” short hair? Ha.
Family – Ugh! Beef in the house! I really dislike that, more than anything in the world. I feel like if a family can’t work out their beef AS A FAMILY, then you’re totally fuckin’ failsauce. We have major communication issues, people need to clear their heads, get some sense, and just freakin’ TALK about it. I can live with unresolved beef with friends and other ppl, but NOT between family. It just shouldn’t be.
And last but not least, Food – the fact that I need some. NAO. That is all.
