“This summer isn't how I expected it to be. Other than the fact that I have summer internship which takes up a lot of my time, then there's PI 100 which takes up the other lot of my time. There's also additional academic drama that I really don't want to deal with but of course I have to. I'm just hoping for the best and trying to keep positive. But really I didn't see this coming at all and the worst part is, I really didn't intend on doing anything malicious or evil. So I need everyone's prayers, hoping that I pull through this one because other than this I still have my other academic duties. I still have a lot of work to do with past subjects like 122 which won't be finished until June 1. And then of course, there's PI and 197 internship. I like going to Max. That's my favorite part of the summer. Other than that, I just pray that I get through this year and graduate next year on time.”

“So it's an early Saturday morning and I don't have class, but I have a lot of work to do, class-related. For other people, they're already on their summer break, and still I'm doing this. I don't think my summer is going to feel like summer -- I'm going to have my internship. But other than that, there's still TV to keep me company. I've been rewatching Dawson's Creek again. I love Audrey and Pacey -- they should just get together. And Joey and her professor! I wish they would just get it on! It's such a GP movie, GP television show. Then I'm about to rewatch Popular, and I'm still looking for the DVD of Felicity seasons 1 to 4 and Gilmore Girls because I've always wanted to marathon that. Speaking of movies, because I said movie, I watched Enchanted for the 4th time yesterday and I'm still so in love. Robert and Gisele really belong. I like just love Enchanted. I can't get over it. Anyway, I should get back to work. Or I should start going to work cause I don't want to cram everything next week. Advanced Happy Easter everyone!”

“50 Cent: Go shorty, it's your birthday. We're gonna party like it's your birthday. We're gonna sip bacardi like it's your birthday. And you know we dont give a f* its your birthday

Yes shorty it's my birthday. My 21st birthday, in two hours that is. I can't believe that i'm saying goodbye to being 20 already when just 365 days ago which feels like I a second ago, I said goodbye to being 19.

Not that I'm that worried about my age. Although my 7-year old self would probably be petrified cause I used to think that 18 was a mature and old age. Apparently not as I am neither mature, nor do I feel so old at 21.

It's funny cause last year, I was kind of worried of what 20 would bring me when I shouldn't have been worried because 20 was a fabulous year. Lots of ups. Lots of downs. But definitely all good and I feel like it made me a better person.

I'm sure that 21 will only bring better things. I'd hate to peak at such an early age. Like that Something Corporate song goes, 21 and invincible. Though I don't feel quite as invincible, I do know that I can legally get married without parental consent and I can legally drink. Although I have no plans of doing either so parents have no worries.

Anyway, I hope today is a good day. A good day filled with no work and no worries. Although most of my Mondays are no work, no worries -- though I should be doing work -- so the only difference tomorrow will be that I turn a year older. I get to blow the candles on my cake and I get to eat my cake too.

So, Happy Birthday to Me!”

“So it's been 22 days since the start of 2008 and I'm happy to say that I have at least kept one resolution intact, and that is... saving money. I decided that 2008 would be the year I started my London 2012 Olympic Fund. That is if I'm really serious about going to London for the 2012 Olympics, I figured I should start saving. And also because I hat being broke by December.

So I'm glad to say that it's nearly th end of the month and I still have my allowance with me, which is a good thing, considering this has never happened before. I've been listing down what I spend and on what I spend (the money) on, so that I see how frivolous or how un-needed my expenses are. But there, I"m gonna try to be as good this 2008.

As for my other resolutions, I haven't really been too good to others or been studying harder, but that's okay. Because as PB said, "it's never too late in 2008."

I've been sort of laying low these past few days and I've been MIA from, I don't know, even Yahoo Messenger and from school, but that's cause I haven't been having class but what I've been really addicted to is Guitar Hero.

We don't have a guitar, on the Wii, but I picked up the Wii controller, I think that was Saturday night after Hannah's birthday and I haven't stopped since. I think my personal song is "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by Pat Benatar. I started out on the Easy level and I was so disappointed because my brothers and Paola are soooo good at it. You know, they're not even looking at the buttons they're pushing and they're so good. They keep getting every note. They get the star power extra points. It's just nuts!

So I told myself I can't be left behind. So I practiced and practiced and practiced and with Paola's help of course, and I reached medium level. In the medium level, I reached 71,000 score. I know that's low for others, but for me that's like a personal high. I'm so addicted to Guitar Hero. If we did get a guitar though, I'd be afraid that I'd get bad at it, because I'm so used to just playing with the Wii controller. But anyway, this is going to be the start of a new obsession. Hello Wii.”

“Merry Christmas everyone. I hope everybody had a good Christmas dinner. I surely had. I ate two different types of ham: Spanish and Chinese. I couldn't really tell the difference, but they were very good. I also had some fruit salad which I think really did me in, as I ate three small plates full of it. Good job Jeannie on the fruit salad! I truly enjoyed it. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I'm getting older so Christmas this year was so much shorter than the other Christmases was. We went over to Mama Lily's house as usual. I mean I enjoyed it. The mass was shorter. Christmas was shorter this year. Maybe because I didn't open as many gifts? I opened a lot of envelopes this year and that's always good. But I guess the childlike innocence of being excited to open gifts is kinda gone. I'm glad that I got to spend Christmas with my family because PB is leaving tomorrow already. Day after Christmas. How sad is that. But I'm glad I got to spend the Christmas break with him. I don't know I really do hope everybody else had a better Christmas. I'm not complaining, I enjoyed. I just feel like that something really was missing. I don't know maybe the Christmas cheer will rub off on me during these next few days. Maybe because I didn't get any kisses underneath the mistletoe. Haha. I don't know. But there. Merry Christmas everybody. Hope you all had a good holiday.”
