coded talking: 

no, i'm not talking about the navajo language. i'm talking about girl language. 

1. What is said: "God! You're so skinny!" 

Translated as: "God, you have small boobs!" 

2. What is said: "I really like your shirt."

Translated as: "I have that same exact shirt and I'm never wearing it again."

3. What is said: "You're boyfriend is really cute."

Translated as: "I think he's gay."

4. What is said: "I'm starving!"

Translated as: "I just want a salad." 

gosh, girls can be so vicious sometimes. 

Happy Earth Day!

[Do Good and Go Green]

gosh, im so excited i can pee in my pants ... after my finals. 

---i am proud to announce that---

i've seen a sixth toe. 

[it is perhaps the grossest thing i have ever encountered. it was just an over grown toe over her second to last one and she just kept wiggling it during class since she was wearing flip flops. ew.] i am being completely sarcastic by the way. this is not my proudest moment

there are two things that i can never find in my house:

1. a box of tissues

2. my clothes 

yes, this might sound real funny, but its not. its an epidemic! the boxes of tissues, no matter where i might leave them at say, 1 o'clock, go missing at around 1:05! i have a theory its because people keep using them as targets for high-leg kicks and that usually knocks them off to every which direction. and then, my youngest cousin, he's two now, and he loves, loves, loves to go around to every single tissue box [which there's like 6 or 7 lying around in the house by this time] and pull out the first couple of tissues or whenever he feels like he can stop, and actually wipe them on his nose. which is real cute that he knows how to do that. but then the bad thing is that he'll actually stick them back in the box! so the fact that he pulls a couple of them out and uses them all to wipe his nose, and puts it back is not cute. 

then there's the clothes. our sofas in the house are not for sitting, but for clothes. we do clothes by the load every single day and when they dry we fold them on the sofa and we leave it there until someone go gets them. now, the problem with doing that is that sometimes someone's clothes may look the same as the other person's and so they get folded with their pile of clothes. so with that happening, clothes get mixed up all the time and therefore i end up losing my jeans, or my t-shirts or underwear. [it might sound weird, but it does happen] 

...or maybe its just my family

so it's finally feeling like summer is coming. the weather is getting much warmer and people's moods are a lot lighter. which is a good thing, especially since im in school, i'd like my professors to be happy-go-lucky so we can perhaps forget about the in-class surprise quiz. 

but with the good weather, there are also some things that are unwanted as well.

1. navel exposing t-shirts: by all means, be my guest to wear these risque shirts if you have the pretty navel and bottom half to show off, but if you don't then please spare our eyes. i do not understand when someone who has a huge gut wears a tight shirt like that, and lets a bulge of their fat hangs out over their jeans. its not sexy. 

2. flip flops: flip flops are good. but when you have toe hair thats as long as your fingers, then don't do it. if you want to, then shave. also, socks with flip flops? they don't go. maybe if you're in japan, but thats different. 

3. speaking of shaving, you've got to shave your armpits if you're going to wear no sleeves. i remember there was this one girl in my middle school who wore a tank top during the end of the school year. she rose her hand to answer a question, and i swear, it was like a bushel under there. [shudders]

4. bras: lately there's been a trend for girls to show a little bit of their bra because supposedly its sexy. now, i agree, that there are certain ways to wear it to make it look nice, BUT a) if your bra is like, yellow and stained, then don't wear it b) i said a little bit. not a whole half of your bra c) you're supposed to wear a top over it, and not just walk out stark in your bra. that doesn't work.

baby: auntie kay--see, when can we go on the hair pain? its takin too long. it needs to come fasta. 

...two minutes later...

baby: auntie kay--see, i need to go to the we potty

baby dictionary: 

"hair pain" = airplane

"we potty" = potty [the 'we' came from when i talked about the dog's weewee pad...which is a potty pad for dogs] 

i love babies

i was house hunting with my mom in DC/VA a couple of weeks before [my spring break to be exact] and there was this beautiful house that we saw, but had no idea who the owners were, whatsoever [sometimes they'd have pictures or your realtor would tell you]. but once i walked inside, i was like, god this house is so chinese. 

so how can you tell how chinese a house is?

1. the furniture is all un-matching. chinese people are horrible at decorating, save a few like vern yip. there might be baby blue carpets, wall to wall mind you, and then there might be a large brown and black stained floral sofa paired with a beige love seat that has small cushions with chinese designs on it. 

2. there's tiger balm somewhere. if you look in the bathroom cabinet or a cabinet in the kitchen where all the medicine is kept. 

3. those smelly rags. you know what i'm talking about. those ugly white rags they use to wipe the table with. it really smells. it reminds me of that commercial with that lady wiping the chicken on her counter to emphasize all the germ she's putting back on the counter by using the same rag over and over again.

4. there's an odd smell throughout the house. it could be an excessive use of moth balls or just some ... herbal soup boiling in the kitchen. if it's neither, then it just might be that the people smell, i don't know what to tell you.

5. plants. a chinese house always has plants. supposedly the higher they grow, the more money you'd get... talk about being realistic. at least they'll get more oxygen for their kids to think regularly when they get married and have their own home.

but no worries, the house that we saw was not like what i described. turned out they were white  with a weird fancy for asian things. they had matching furniture. [we got it. if you were curious]

i still haven't counted

join the hype and get   'd

i've lost count

its my birthday

FINALLY some warm weather. i can deal with the rain, thats not a problem as long as i can wear some lighter clothes now. 

i had just watched august rush and i have to say, i really do love it. i love how this movie is so much about music; i find that it really captures the feelings of musicians, classic or hard rock, and i love that. the music in it is, needless to say, brilliant. a lot of people didn't like it and i can't seem to understand why it didn't win any oscars because god knows its much better than enchanted 

anyway, this is one of my favorite songs in the movie. this is talent. 

the name of the song is called "bari improv" played by kaki king
