Work sucks

But this totally made my work day. I work in a dorm unit so students come to the office all the time. A girl came today and we had this conversation:

girl: Are you in AiR by any chance? You look really familiar.
me: Yeah I am!
girl: Oh coool.. You're the one that sings the Mariah Carey song, right?
me: Yeah I do (:
girl: Oh my gosh, you have the BEST voice!
me: :X Thanks!

Anyway. I don't really hear that often and sometimes I think being in AiR is a waste of time even though I do it for the love and passion of music. Hearing that today totally wiped away my qualms about having stayed in the group for my last year in college.

Thank you, random girl in the Berkeley dorms (:

LT Style Electric Glide


Another display of LT's awesomeness both ON and OFF the field. You canNOT tell me this is not awesome, cuz I'm about to get on this dance, & wave to my momma! Haha.

LET'S GO CHARGERS!

Together as One

Just because this past weekend in Vegas made me greatly miss New Year's and the people I was with!


My mentality for the year so far wouldn't be the same without spending a little time with everyone in this picture (+ Kristine who took it and a few others who arrived late) on New Year's. Trying to sustain the positive vibes from then throughout the rest of my year!

Equation for Bad Romance

(RAH)²(AH)³ + [ROMA (1+MA)] + (GA)² + (OOH)(LA)² = Bad Romance

Anyway, I was just amused by that. Time to pack for Vegas and have one crazy weekend!

Goals for 2010 & beyond

Not complete, just some thoughts..

1. Get back to a regular exercise regimen. I used to go to the gym 5 times a week.. Until I went to Paris. When I came back it was hard for me to get back into it. I know new year's resolutions are just an excuse for people to make change, but unfortunately I need this excuse for this particular goal. Hahaa.
2. Take more pictures! It's my last semester of undergraduate school and I need to step my picture-taking game up up up. I used to take A LOT more than I do now, so I really gotta get on it again! Trips around campus with my camera seem like a good idea..
3. Blog more (& journal more). Both are good ways for me to document important events and feelings that shouldn't be forgotten. Seriously.
4. Cook more. Two reasons for this.. Firstly, I need to get back into some healthier eating habits. It's hard that I'm a picky eater sometimes, so by cooking more I could incorporate vegetables and proteins into my meals when I need to. Secondly, by cooking more I would spend less money eating out. This (& alcohol.. haha) is where all my money goes ):
5. Make a "life" plan and stick to it. I have to make sure that I stay on schedule for getting things done that need to be done. I also have to make sure that I secure a new job or internship to help me get there.
6. Be at my best at all times. I have to say this, because sometimes I very easily let the little things affect my mood. I need to stop doing this. My life is way too amazing to be sad about ANYTHING (although sometimes it's unavoidable). I just have to keep my head up and smile through everything, remember that I have the best family, best friends, and best boyfriend who just need me to meet them halfway.
7. More human interaction. I'm the type of person who will easily hide behind a text or a comment rather than picking up the phone and calling or meeting up with someone to catch up. I don't know why I'm like this.. I've always been a pretty isolationist person so I should be trying to work to change this and myself for the better.
8. Be on time! Class, work, rehearsal.. Being late is not classy.
9. Work toward being more independent. This is more of a mental/emotional thing.. I'm pretty independent in the way I live my life but when it comes down to making sure I'm okay, I can't keep depending on other people to stabilize me (although I am extremely grateful for those who do!).
10. Less alcohol consumption. I honestly don't even drink a lot, it's just eating away at my wallet. Also, I really got caught up in the 21-year-old lifestyle, so hopefully this will be manageable now that I'm no longer 21!

Hmm. I couldn't think of anything else at the moment but will continue to add to this as necessary. I guess they're not so much goals for just this year but LIFE goals. All right, I'm tired and I'm going to try to get one more star in Super Mario for DS. Haha.

Goodnight!

Happy 22nd Bia Bia!

Happy 22nd birthday to my best friend, Siene!



Have a good first week of school and we will continue celebrations in Vegas, where twenty-two shots will be awaiting your consumption!

PS,
You are officially an old fart now! LOVE YOU!

Bangs?

I got my hair trimmed today and decided to have my bangs cut as well.



It's a little bit uneven so I may have to do a little bit more trimming but I mean it is what it is. Anyway, I'm really not used to it.. It's weird having something in front of my face all the time. But it's really only for when my hair is up (as it is in this photo) or even half-up, which is how I uuusually wear my hair anyway. When it's down I'm going to keep it side-swept, which is very convenient. (:

That is all, and sorry for being vain.. Haha.
