Short Updates

so this is why i haven't been updating: i've been too busy eating and sleeping. you're chuckling, thinking to self - why am i not surprised?! haha yes i know. but that's what thanksgiving holiday is about isn't it?! we eat and be merry; who cares about putting on holiday pounds?! well i speak for myself, for i clearly went overboard, stuffing myself with food as if i've been starving for the past few months. seriously. ask Kenna and Sheena and they'll testify to that. (in fact, i think they were secretly taken aback by how much i could eat, but were kind enough to not voice it out verbally).

but food aside - as much as i love eating all the time, my jaws get tired at some point and i have to do other stuff to keep me entertained and occupied - i've been reading on health reform and following up on the President's stance on the Afghan war. there's just so much to read on it's almost like a full time job. i wish i could just sit there all day and keep track of all that is going on, and then write about them like what Ezra Klein, Matthew Yglesias and the lot do. i mean, i don't have to say how awesome it is to get paid for doing something you love, do i?

so my classes end next week, with a final to sit for and a final 10-page paper to write up. i have 4 days to write the paper, and in between researching on the topic and scrambling to write it, i have to find time to study for the other final. sometimes it really, really amazes me how i never learned to not leave things till the very last minute. i guess i work better under pressure. anyway. after finals, i'll have more time to blog (hopefully) and i have tons of stories to share - i just hope i won't forget them by then.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Inspired by a photo I saw some time ago, I drew this above picture. I know, I know, it's a sad picture... but it's true though, is it not. Happy turkey day to everyone, anyhow. I will be spending my weekend in Blythe! More updates soon. :)

Wednesday Morning

rise and shine to the rest of the world! i've been away from the blogosphere temporarily due to that financial report - which is due today, and which i still have only vague ideas on how to present in class later today. it's gonna be interesting to see how i screw it up. :P

the rabbit hole i usually dig up for myself whenever i feel down and hopeless is calling my name, but i have to put off sleep and get my stuff done. the world never seems to wait for me, and i have no choice but to keep up with it. but busy as it is, i'm thankful i have twitter, npr news, and facebook to a lesser extent, to keep me entertained :) for now, i shall resume work after i make myself some coffee.

p.s. doesn't seem like i'm getting my A in that finance class anymore *sad-face*, but i have to concentrate on the bigger picture. very soon, i shall be back and talk about some mindless stuff like cute guys, work and work-related gossips; and some serious stuff, like health care :)

happy wednesday, friends.

Really

really, it's not that i don't wanna write more often. i just have this gigantic financial report to write up on, and i still have no idea how to do it. getting the jitters now. have lots to figure out still.

i have tales to share, though it'll have to wait till i'm done with the report and presentation, and another presentation. one's about my hair, another about getting old and senile, a food escapade, some cute guy random story, and yet another reflection inspired by a doctor who was a guest speaker for my health care intro class.

i'm walking on a tight rope trying to juggle more than 3 things with two hands. will i make it to the other end without falling or hurting myself? it remains to be seen, but i'm hopeful. :) for now, more coffee or red bull pleaseeee!

Weight Problem

Well, I don't know what you mean, but you still look fabulous to me!

Eat all you want (but save me some souffles and some best desserts okay). :P

... or you can learn how to make them and make them for me when you visit! hehehe.

All Hallows' Eve

in about a few hour's time, daylight saving time is going to end and we shall have an hour extra. i absolutely love this time of the year because it gives me the illusion that i somehow gain a full hour to do whatever i want. not to mention its sorta magical to have a hidden hour sandwiched between two hours. something like walking into the wall at platform 11 and three quarters at the train station and emerging into a completely hidden world that J.K. Rowling created for Harry Potter and the gang. i sometimes envy Harry so much i wished i could be him. but back to reality. since i can't have a magic wand or a flying broom stick, i would settle for an extra hour... for now. ;)

it's Halloween tonight. on this festive night, everyone dressed up to go to house parties, using their most imaginative thoughts to conjure up a very extensive costume from head to toe that will hopefully stand out in the crowd. it's a fun time to be, and i bet they will have even more fun with the extra hour of more drinking and rowdiness. good times. :) but of course, yours truly have a bunch of stuff to do, so this year i'm skipping the fun. decided its best to get my work done asap if i want some fun on thanksgiving. i need to check as many things off my list as possible in order to enjoy the upcoming four-day holiday to the fullest, with nothing to worry about but savoring some early eggnog, cinnamon toast for breakfast, turkey, corn bread, pumpkin and pecan pies etc. so me thinks giving up hallows' eve is a small price to pay. ;)

it's the end of October now, and two months to go before 2010 comes. how time flies. tomorrow i shall be heading to the bookstore for some quiet read, and working on my apps. wish me luck.
