Looking back

I didn't even realize it, but I've been blogging on here for a little over a year now. I'm glad I've been able to stick to one place to just let it all out for this long, it's always fun to just look back - from what was going on about a year ago, or even my changes in writing style. That reminds me, I cringe every time I give in to the temptation to look back at my old Xanga. Oh, the embarrassment.

For the fourth time now, I've made it through fall quarter here at UCI. As much as studying sucks during 10th and finals weeks - or more accurately, trying to - I got this calming feeling a couple nights ago just walking through campus after one of my review sessions. Seeing everyone bonding together in their pajamas inside Starbucks, conversing about finals material and non-school related topics, the textbooks and notebooks intermingled with the empty coffee cups and snack boxes, how every student seems to be going through the same thing at this time...I don't know. For some (cheesy) reason, it made me think about how little time I have left here at UCI and how much I will miss it, from the good times to the academic rock bottoms, the sleepless nights due to late night bonding to those in which procrastination takes the credit.

I know I have a lot of planning to do for the future still, but for now I'm going to curl up in my spot at the 198 couch and soak "it" all in, whatever it may be.

Seems so long ago but nothing's changed :]

About time biotch

It took a couple weeks longer than most of you and back to back sleepless nights, but summer is finally here for me! Took my last 2 finals this morning, and I am happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised with how I felt walking out of both of my classes. Kicked multiple ass uggggh son. Haha fck I'm so happy, I don't really have anything else to say right now, I just needed to get this out. Good job UC kids.



Potential topics for upcoming posts (after I've had a little more time to recover):
-Summer schedule/stuff to look forward to
-Personal wank on the classic idea of "soulmates" and why it's stupid
-Second-hand embarassment. I seriously can't take it.

New Releases

Here on some notable CD and DVD releases for today, March 18. I'll have more interesting thoughts and posts once finals week is done, trust.

Danity Kane "Welcome to the Dollhouse"

A couple posts down I already put up a sampler of both Danity Kane's and Day 26's upcoming releases. I've actually had "Welcome to the Dollhouse" playing in my car for the past week already but I think I'm going to buy the actual album because I like it that much. It's not empowering music with a message or anything, but take it for what it's worth - super fun, catchy pop music. A couple of my favorites from the album are "Bad Girl", "Sucka for Love", and "Lights Out".

Flo Rida "Mail on Sunday"

Ahhh Flo Rida. Already with one of the most overplayed, annoying song of the past months, is Flo Rida headed towards one-hit-wonder land? I guess we'll just have to see. Appearances from many artists, including Lil' Wayne, Timbaland, Sean Kingston, Yung Joc, and everyone's favorite Adonis clone T-Pain, may save him from that fate.

"I Am Legend"

I still have mixed feelings about this movie. Check out the review I did here after I saw it in theatres. I would definitely recommend the book though.

"Atonement"

Another movie I'm still planning on seeing. I'll probably make a note of watching the movie before reading the book someday, otherwise the same thing that happened to me with "I Am Legend" will happen this time around too. And I really want to end up liking this movie.

"Married with Children: The Complete Eighth Season"

I honestly didn't even know this show was on DVD, let alone already having released the first 7 seasons. But I was pleasantly surprised because I freaking loved this show watching it as a little kid. Al Bundy is the coolest shoe salesman ever. A couple highlights from the 8th season include a double date with Kelly and Bud after buying a car to share and the episode where Al is accidentally circumcised after he's injured playing baseball. Classic.

I'm feelin' the FCK outta you, winter break.

Kudos to those of you who get the reference.

I'M ON WINTER BREAK!! Finals week is of course inevitably stressful and just blech but I must honestly say that this has been the most satisfying one that I've had in a while. I was fortunate enough to get better in time for finals (I always get sick during finals week, this time during 10th week), and I didn't bomb any of my tests *crosses fingers*. Hell, I only had 2 to begin with. This was also the first quarter for me juggling school and 20+ hours of work each week. Ugh I'm so freaking excited for break, it's sick.

More later, back to sleep. Happy Holidays!!

Getting it together.

I honestly saw this coming. My plans of studying a week before finals aren't going through, with a big chunk due to being sick, and I can only spend so many hours juggling between myspace/facebook/ONTD. Hence a new blog has sprung forth from the boredom abyss and TADA!

First off I'd like to commence this entry with a big FCUK YOU to finals. Actually to school in general for the most part. I somehow managed to go through 10th week without going to a single class. I guess I find it more important to overcome my sickness before the weekend (in which I have a feeling I won't be much more productive either). I make myself feel better by saying I'm only missing review sessions anyways.

Getting stuff done wouldn't be such a problem if I wasn't glued to the tv this week. Especially Wednesdays for my latest guilty pleasure:

The whole Gossip Girl cast is so freaking attractive it's unfair. I'd also love to borrow Blair's wardrobe so I can be FIERCE too. I say this show is my guilty pleasure because nothing is more profound than the now formulaic spoiled-rich-kids-and-their-drama scenario.

Other shows I should be ashamed of watching include but are not limited to: I Love New York, A Shot at Love, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Girls Next Door, etc. etc...Damn television nowadays. Whenever I watch Super Sweet Sixteen or other trashtastic "reality" shows, it makes a part of me not look forward to having kids. Blech.

But besides the looming destruction known as finals, I LOVE DECEMBER. It'll be the 5-year anniversary for Raf and me on the 19th; I would consider that one of the biggest milestones for me so far. Then my 21st birthday on the 24th. I don't think I'll be planning anything though until after winter break. Shame that people still mistake me for a 16-year old sometimes. Then of course there's Christmas, New Year's, presents, family, friends, and just feeling fcking festive! Hah I'm always at my happiest at this time of year.

I don't want to overdo it on the first post, so I'll leave you with a tidbit of probably one of the greatest advice columnists ever, the Thug Misses herself. Got questions? Ask Khia. Just in case you forgot what she looks like...

Q: Khia help me I been with this girl faithfully for 7 months and she havent let meglance at the pussy. I havent felt no titties or nothing what am I doing wrong.Shes not a virgin she got two girls. I don't know how much longer I can wait.The hardest part is she always wearing short shit, and khia she got a biggurilla ass. Please help me!-Mike (Houston, TX)

A: What's really Hood Mike? This sounds like some Jerry Springer shit, 7months without even a glance at the pussy what is that about, you sure she's nota man? I know you said she has two kids but damn are they her's? You knowthere's a lot of punks out here getting ass shots and tittie jobs but for realyou say you ain't feel no ass, titties or nothing. What is she saying about thisbecause something in the milk ain't clean. What is she telling you when you tryand get some, damn I'm lost for words. Well all I can say is if you really careabout her talk to her and find out what's really going on and why she's holdingback. Tell her your needs as a man and let her know how you feel cause shitshe's going to have to drop them panties sooner or later and I hope she ain'thiding a dick under there. Shit maybe she's waiting for marriage this time yousay she has two kids already, maybe she wants to do it right this time and if soyou better start shopping for a ring or move...Next!!!!!
