ahhh sleep. I'm overdoing it. LOL.

;( I'm so ashamed of myself.

Like.. ever since the quarter ended and I came back to stay at my parents' home.. I've been sleeping so much everyday and waking up at like.. 12-1 PM!! WTH!!?? Who sleeps that much right?? I keep feeling like I've wasted half my day already but then I don't care and then roll over and sleep again!! boo hoo.. :( I'm so lazy!!

On the plus side, I get to finally eat someone else's cooking OTHER THAN MINE. WHEW!! And I don't have to clean up crap.

My favorite drink so far for the past 2 months.. not sick of it.. YET! ;)


Messin around last night.. :( Don't mock me! I was bored!!


Did I mention I was bored? :D


:) JJ Lin CD/DVD box set my uncle Robert got me from Taiwan as a surprise! I'll make sure to rub his buddha tummy as a thank you next time I see him!


So today I went shopping with my bubby!! :( Sad because since I'm staying at my parents' house.. I can't see him EVERY DAY.. my parents are very conservative.. and my dad gets made if I go out too much, stay out too late (by late, I mean even 11:30 pm), if I see Christian too much because he IS a boy after all.. ahhh well.. they're my parents.. what can I do?

Anyways, I got to see my bubby today and he took me to Westminster Mall to shop shop shop! Why Westminster mall you ask? uhh.. well actually it's because I wanted to check out some manga from the store there (nerd much.. yes). The lady there is very generous, she loves to give discounts and always fills me in on release dates, new story plot lines.. etc etc! I don't think I'll ever grow out of reading mangas or watching animes, ;) by the way, chinese lesson for you all! In Chinese.. anime is "manhua shu".. and if you live near Rowland Heights or San Gabriel.. the Life Plaza's there let you rent lots of manhua and you only have to pay a one time fee (cheap) until your card expires (long time)!! I've been doing it since I was a kid.. I think I've read half the books from the selection they have (big selection).. although.. it is strictly Chinese manhua.. no english.

Dude.. what was I writing about again? LOL!! I always get so sidetracked and go off on a tangent.. OH right (scrolled up) lol.. after checking those out, I remembered I had a Wet Seal giftcard because I returned something that was TOO BIG last time and I wanted to use it up! Soooo.. I did a little shopping, I loved the shirt I got in three colors last time, so I went and bought 5 more colors! They're normally $6.50 each.. but they were having a sale so I got 5 of them for only $20!!!! That's $4 each!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAYUH!!

"They're just plain shirts if you ask me" you might think.. well yea.. I'm always on the go, so I don't have time to dress up and shit except on the weekends (if even).. plus, I like plain shirts, patterns can go out of style or get tacky you know? Annnd, it's hard for me to find shirts that are the right length.. I hate shirts that are too short and these were perfect (I have a long torso)!! Plus, I picked up a cute jean skirt and a pair of shorts! Had to get more Zots candy too!! LOOOOOOVE ME SOME ZOTS!! fizz fizz fizz! My grand total was, drum roll please.. for the 7 articles of clothing.. only $65! Is that sweet or what? :) That's a third of the price of my jeans! LMAO!!

I'm debating about whether or not to keep the belts on them.. I like the left belt.. but not the right. It's kind of ugly.

LOL the Zots look like colorful condoms.


Hahaha.. funny story though. When I got up to the cash register.. I realized I forgot the gift card all the way in my car.. it could've paid for the skirt of the shorts! Oh well, I decided to just pay for it and use the gift card next time, I shop SOOOOO much at Wet Seal anyway, so it won't be long before I use it. Oh.. so after actually trying the bottoms on.. this is totally proof I've gained weight, besides my scale going gadurkader on me. I used to be able to fit into 00-0 bottoms.. ya lol, double zero.. but those are way too tight on me now and I settled on a size 1.. which is tight on me, but not TOO tight.. almost though.. like I know if I'm on my period and bloat up like I always do.. I know these will be too tight on those days. WEIRDDDD.

*sigh* I have a bad obsession with wanting to be skinny. My parents were seriously getting UP MY ASS about looking too skinny and stuff.. so I was basically FORCED to gain weight.. do I like my body now? NO. I caps-ed that. But my parents (and bf) think I look healthy now.. which I guess was what I was aiming for. I just can't shake off what I see in the mirror though.. I seriously just see.. flab! I think mentally I have issues (well no shit) but I'm starting to come to terms with things now.. baby steps lol.

JAPAN


Why did I just post up a picture of cute baggies of bunnies I got from my part Japanese aunt? Because that leads me to my next topic. I was checking out my first few entries.. and I realized.. I HAD NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE! Not that it's a big thing for me because it hasn't made me different in any way but a few years ago, after talking with my grandma (dad's side).. I was curious why she knew so much Japanese. I had taken Japanese in High School just for kicks because I already took Spanish in Junior High (didn't like mexicanese).. and so when my grandma found out, she ALWAAAAAAYS wanted me to talk to her with Japanese (at least, what I could remember). Her Japanese has always been good and I remember her telling me once when I was little that she used to teach Japanese in the high schools in Taiwan during her youth.. but I never wondered "why?" .. and my dad is crazy good at it too. So I asked her why she was so good, she said it was because she wanted to know both her cultures.

Wait.. what? LOL right.

I found out my grandma is actually 1/4 Japanese, 3/4 Taiwanese.. so that means my dad is 1/8 Japanese.. which makes me, 1/16 Japanese.

Haaaaaaaa.. so I'm ALMOST completely Taiwanese.. but I do have Japanese blood in me. But when people ask me what nationality I am.. I usually just say Taiwanese, since I don't associate myself at all with my Japanese roots (I don't know them either) and plus.. the Japanese blood in me is SOOOOO diluted with Taiwanese.. I see no point in saying "oh i'm 1/16 japanese and 15/16 taiwanese".. doesn't that seem pointless to you? :) I'm very proud to call myself Taiwanese, if you haven't noticed (how can you not! I make it so obvious!) But I do still talk to my grandmother in Japanese.... broken.. foggy.. japanese.. because it makes her happy to know I'm not turning my back completely on the culture!

So there you go. Now you girls know a new fact about me. I've known for quite some time now and so does my little sister Jessica. Hahaha seriously though, you would've thought I would've figured this out earlier.. what with my blood aunt is part Japanese.. it just never clicked.

So.. SARAH IZUMI SAKAMOTO! ;) I thought of you when I was writing this post. What's up my fellow (... kinda) japanese sistahhhh? I'm totally kidding. LOL!! Surprise though right?? Wait.. did I tell you this already? I don't remember!!!!!

Ok so after that, I leave you a picture of my blackberry.. because I've never posted it up.. well actually.. just what's my homescreen. :) Bubby!!!!!!!


I love you darling!! I truly truly do!

He called me yesterday night.. and surprised me with a very deep and touching talk.. I cried.. but they were tears of joy.. my bf is the type of person who doesn't wear his heart on his sleeves like I do.. but he opened up completely last night out of the blue.. and shared so much with me.. the convo was very emotion filled.. and in the end he thanked me for listening.. but I asked why? Why did he thank me for listening to him spill out everything he's had bottled up inside? Was he thanking me for not judging him? Was he thankful for me not making fun of him? He said yes.

I told him, you should never have to be afraid to tell me anything. You should never have to ask me to listen to you. I'll always listen to you with all my heart, whether or not it's serious or just a joke. I've been with you for almost 3 years now, I know you inside and out. If you need to get things off your chest, I have two ears ready for the sound of your voice. Baring your feelings to me will never make me judge you and I would never make fun of you for trusting me, for being vulnerable, for wanting to find your self, for not wanting to dick around anymore, for growing up.

I love you baby, and I know you're reading this. :) Wo ai ni .. you remember that? I taught it to you so I HOPE you remember it.

Sorry girls if this got too sappy for you! It's just.. that call.. made me so unbelievably happy. I don't need big parties, dinners, or gifts for my birthday. I'm happy with just pure and true feelings, the kind I get from friends when they wish me a happy birthday, and my boyfriend, who was brimming with emotions that night.

Ok i'll stop being sappy.. I know it's killing you girls. :P

Rose whip!
