Everything's Gonna Be Okay



I thought this video was pretty cute and whatnot, so I decided to share with whomever reads this blog ... which is probably not much ... but it's okay, it's my little area to let my thoughts roam and whatnot =]

So today, I drove my younger brothers to Church's Chicken to get some chicken for dinner [not the best choice but eh, I was kind of craving the delicious spicy, crunchiness of the chicken]. As we drove up to the window where we pay the person for our food, there's this homeless-looking lady standing right next to the window and in my mind, I'm thinking "Omg, I must lock the doors and roll up my windows. How can they allow someone to stand there? Isn't that illegal? That's so dangerous." My brothers' reactions were the same as mine since we're use to assertive homeless people considering we live in a pretty much ghetto area. This homeless-lady [let's give her a name ... how about we call her Beth] Okay, so Beth was different than the other homeless people I've encountered before. Beth did not approach my vehicle asking for money. Beth did not have a mean look to her. Instead, Beth was smiling and waving, not in a creepy way, more like in a friend, have a nice day, sort of way. I asked my brother if I should give her a piece of our chicken since we ordered a good amount, he said we should. I was about to make an offer but then I realized that I ordered the spicy chicken instead of original, I was then concerned about her lack of beverage to cool down her mouth if she does not like the spiciness unlike my brothers and I. Don't get me wrong, I would've given her a piece if I weren't concerned about the spiciness of it. As I received my food and change, I decided to give her my change instead, so she can buy a little something to eat for her dinner. Beth struck me surprise because she was just standing there, it was as if she rather have a conversation than ask for money. I would've ordered Beth a meal or something if I wasn't too short on cash myself =[ Beth would indeed stick in my mind for a while. Just felt like sharing a nice little story =]

Other than that, I'M DONE WITH '09 SUMMER SCHOOL! It was indeed a relief after finishing up my final yesterday and then coming home and then relaxing. It felt weird not having any sort of homework to worry about. I practically got rid of one quarter worth of classes! I hope I get an A on Political Theory but aside from wanting that A, I passed all of my classes in the summer! I'm finally caught up with where I need to be! =] I met a lot of people this summer and I'm so glad to have known them, hopefully we end up keeping in touch. I moved into my new apartment and I LOVE it! It's so much bigger and roomy, I just love it! The bf helped out and I can't thank him enough! Btw, CONGRATULATIONS on your job hun! [Even though I'm still bitter about my situation ...] I'm still on a job hunt, it's getting frustrating but eventually, I'll find a job ... it sucks, because I'm so scared about my school tuition and whatnot and I feel like there's nothing else I can do. There's so much things I want but I can't get because I have to be careful with my spending =[

I'm slowly losing weight! I can fit in some of my jeans almost comfortably and I fit majority of my shirts comfortably as well. It's a work in progress but it's getting there! =]

Geeze, I was soooooo bored today I ended up playing games on Facebook for a while ... I need to find something to work on for the next three weeks of my summer vacation ... any suggestions? =]

Anyways, I'm tired, I gotta find something to do =]

So far ...

... things are going well. I'm almost done with Session 2 of summer school and I admit, I feel pretty exhausted. I had a job interview today. It was to be a Nanny for this little year old Vietnamese boy. I had an interview with the mom today and she seemed pretty cool. If I end up getting the job, I will be meeting the kid this Friday, although I'm gonna try to see if I can meet him on Thurs since I wanna drive back to LA on Thurs, but we'll see. It's a big commitment cause the she works and whatnot so she needs someone to take care of her kid, but I mean, I told her I would communicate with her about my class schedules and whatnot. Other than a job interview, I'm slowly starting to lose weight. After watching Fat Camp on MTV, it makes me wanna lose weight more. I want that sexy body I've been craving and wanting. We'll see what the results will be at the end.

Ugh. I'm tired and it's hot >_<

1st Summer Session

ended pretty well in my opinion =] I passed my classes with a C in spanish [expected a C- or lower but it was actually a C+] and a B in Comparative Politics [expected a C or less] It was awesome because I didn't do so well on my midterm in Comparative Politics but I did well on my paper [95%] and I thankfully I studied enough to pass the final with a decent grade =D Now onto to second session which I'm like ehhh about but we'll see what happens =]
