| As is
customary for me before New Years, I think of resolutions. I actually
did better than I thought with last years' resolutions, so maybe that's
why I feel like there are less things I want to accomplish this year.
Things that I thought of for the upcoming 2006:
1) Re-learn time management, which can help with having a more consistent sleep pattern and with getting more sleep
2) Stand up for myself more and be stronger....stop being a weak sauce/softie basically
3) Grow up...be more mature when needed and be more independent
4) Do better academically and gain back the motivation that I once had
5) Control your emotions better, especially during certain times of the month...
6) last year's resolution, which I can improve on: Stop crying over what I cannot change; accept, be strong, and try the
best I can to understand what is best for everyone around me
I can probably think of more, but I want to focus on these...
Seeing everyone at the Toga girls' "outing," made me realize how crazy
a lot of Toga people are. They're just so intelligent, focused,
accomplished, and driven? Although I know a good amount of people like
this, it's usually not a whole crowd of them and it's just
different...I don't even know how to explain it. It's like how people
think we live in a bubble of our own. Haha, so wikipedia has an article
on Saratoga High School with some interesting facts about it, that sums
it up well:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saratoga_High_School
I found it interesting how it wrote about the bubble too: "Saratoga
High (and occasionally Saratoga itself) is sometimes referred to as
"The Bubble" by students, due to the perception that the school is
isolated from the problems of the outside world (crime, poverty, etc)."
And in another article, Saratoga got ranked #26 in the top 100 places to live for 2005:

I didn't even know that people knew Saratoga existed, since it's such a
small city. Anyway, being at home, made me think of all the great
things about here. <3 Saratoga! Despite that, I'm going back to LA
tomorrow morning and everyone...look forward to January 4, 2006....on
that special day, USC is going to pull out some whoop butt against
Texas! 
Have a great 2006 and enjoy the rest of what you have for 2005!

| Short update with the time I have:
1) School and work has been chaotic. Was working 32 hrs./week at one point, and then I cut some hours recently until I decided to put in my 2 weeks notice. Finally, my last day is on Tuesday and I can get in more sleep and also focus more on school, which would make my parents extremely happy! While work lasted, it was fun. My boss is a very nice man, though he tends to intimidate people. One agent told me that I should feel honored to still be employed as a lot of people are scared of my boss. Either way I still joke around with him while my co-workers hold their breath, thinking I'll get myself in trouble, but I don't!
2) In the past week or two, I've really gotten into table tennis, which is absolutely fun and addicting. For some reason, I feel somewhat burnt out already though. We have a collegiate tournament tomorrow @ USC, against UCLA, UCI, UCSD, Pepperdine, and Caltech from 12-7. Anyone who wants to come out and support, it's in the PED building, south gym. Come out and watch some awesome matches!
3) My parents are in Taiwan now visiting relatives and enjoying themselves thoroughly. I wish I could be back there, but I'm here in LA, which is fine.
4) Going to SD next weekend for another table tennis tournament. Super psyched! And also maybe going to Las Vegas right after finals for another tournament, but also to visit coolio J and to chill in the city that never sleeps? Ahhhh! 
5) I ran into Jenn, almost literally. I was riding Jason's bike super fast to catch up with him while he was running and accidentally cut a cute girl off, and we both screamed...me and her. Not because it was scary, but it was a FREAKY coincidence that it was sexy lexy JENN! AHHHH! It was great, yet I wish I could have introduced myself better to her family, rather than screaming in excitement and going hysterical!
6) I have a new twin. I have lotsa twins, but I think they've always been guys for some reason. Well, now my new twin is sexy Chloe! She's awesome. Lotsa people mix us up now...Yoni...Diego..ahem. But yay for ping pong posse princesses! ROCK ON!
7) I need to practice super hard for table tennis because I have lots to work on and I feel super motivated, yet I feel like I've also lost all motivation in one day...but, thanks a billion to those that have been helping me by coaching me and showing me what to do. Maybe I just look way too lost at the table and people feel sorry for me...haha.
8) I have a lot of papers due soon and I really dislike writing more than any other kind of homework assignments, but live on.
9) Life: it's great. I love it. Have been moody though for a week or maybe more. Is it lack of sleep? Tons of stress? Too much to do, too little time? Or things going on in life? Not sure, but life feels way too complicated for me now. I would want to just go with the flow and do things as it goes, but I think I really need to just think with my mind sometimes. If not, everything's just a mix/combination of feelings and I don't like that. I've been asking people to tell me what to do way too much, and they are nice enough to tell me most of the time, and I still don't listen. Sometimes I just feel like a complete idiot. What should I do? (haha, jk?) | | |
| In
a much more cheerful update, congratulations to my uncle and aunt for
giving birth to a healthy second son on July 17th! I'll be excited to
see my new cousin for the first time! :) And also, yay for my uncle
having a so-far successful operation in an attempt to rid himself of
cancer. Hopefully things will only go uphill from there! I'm leaving to
the airport in about 5 hours. I'm always getting nervous and super
scared on flights that are long, and may act all whack or whatever,
but...in case, thanks to everyone for what they've done for me over my
lifetime. I feel so lucky and happy with everything that has happened
to me and is still happening to me. Thank you. Love y'all!  Everything will be all dandy though, so have a great summer!
And also thanks to everyone in LA/SD who I met up with for entertaining me and letting me have a blast. See everyone soon!

| This
post is dedicated to my uncle who was just diagnosed today with cancer
after 6 months of toughing out pain in the mouth and throat without
knowing what was happening. After finally deciding to go to a doctor,
the doctor said he was fine, but after more pain, a different doctor
found him to have cancer. All my prayers go out to him and I hope after
more testing that things won't be that serious. So, everybody out
there, if you or anybody you know is feeling pain and refuses to go to
the doctor, please drag their butt to a doctor and make sure it's a
good one, so that they can tell you what's going on. Don't have it any
other way.
So, at a time with happy and sad moments, best of luck to my uncle and
congratulations to my auntie from my mother's side who is due to give
birth to her second child and son in early July. In celebration for
her, and support for my uncle, and time with my relatives, off I go to
Taiwan for three weeks: 7/24-8/14. Adios. Have a great summer everyone.
Much love to my shu shu
