Oh em gee - happy!

The wedding has left me pooped! So tired. It was a beautiful day out at Thomas Fogarty Winery and Vineyard in Woodside, California.
I came home and checked the scores for the two exams I recently took. One is out as an advisory score, and the other I am still waiting on. Advisory score on [...]

Growing up.

Tomorrow, my cousin is getting married. We’re the same age, just six months apart. She’s the one on the left in this photo. I’m the one on the right.

Relatives keep asking about who will be next. It most certainly will not be me.

Counting Down.

I am currently in a lot of pain. I visited the orthodontist this morning, and they put in additional bands on my four molars, the ones in the way back. For the 9 months or so [I've not been particularly good at keeping track, but I caught a glimpse of my chart this morning], I’ve [...]

Video Blogging

I want to start doing this, but I’m actually very camera shy. I am self-conscious, and I don’t know how I feel about hearing my own voice… So maybe not. I may give it a shot if I find something to talk about… And even I don’t have anything to talk about. I won’t be [...]

Apocalypse at work - not.

“The apocalypse won’t be all that bad,” Bible scholar Parker Creaston told the Weekly World News. There’ll be a “brief period of mild to moderate disorder,” after which will come an extended period of “worldwide peace and harmony.” Similarly, Libra, your fear of impending chaos in your personal sphere will turn out to be overblown.

Dating.

Try as I may, I have not contacted or been contacted recently by anyone else on that dating website I signed up for. I’m just not that way. One at a time please! I think it’s probably also because I’m so busy with everything else - work, studying, lazying around the house. On the flip [...]

Can I get a Mac yet?

So I was sitting here with the Amazon shopping cart loaded up, ready to press the “Buy Now” button, but then it sorta sunk in that it was a lot of money, and I looked all over the web to see if I could get my friends to stop me.
Thankfully, Victor spoke some sense [...]

I wonder.

On my way back from taking a frozen yogurt break with some friends, I thought to myself:
What can I do to change the world?
What can I change about myself in order to change the world?
For several blocks, I repeated the questions in my head.
I am still waiting for the answer.
*sigh*

Trust

Relationships are based on communication, trust and honesty. Secrets are okay. Friends are often forgiving of a little dishonesty, a little white lie here and there. But when it becomes a habit, it’s overkill. Pretty soon, all one can look at the other with is disbelief and disgust.
Honestly, it isn’t cool at all. It’s [...]

A little pick-me-up.

The 19th-century American philosopher Henry David Thoreau accomplished a lot. Among his voluminous body of work was Civil Disobedience, a book that inspired Tolstoy, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr. In the two-million-word journal he kept for over two decades, he wrote about nature with a precision and care that prefigured modern-day environmentalism. But Thoreau [...]
