craZAY fish:  i just wanna curl up and die
debbiewebbie44: YOU WANT TO CURL UP AND DIE?!
debbiewebbie44: shit.
debbiewebbie44: I WANT TO CURL UP AND DIE
craZAY fish: haha
craZAY fish: we can do it at the same time
debbiewebbie44:  sounds tempting

i remember when i was working over the summer, all i wanted was to have an afternoon or to take naps whenever and screw around for most of the day.  now that i'm back in school, i'd give anything to not put up with stupid ass homework bullshit like writing gay ass e190 papers that are friggin pointless.  it doesn't help that i have to wake up for my classes at like 9am everyday ANYWAY....but i guess it is nice to take naps when i come back from class or to simply just skip class.  can't just skip work whenever i feel like it.

why is the grass always greener on the other side?

count down til i'm done with this crap: 35 days (last final, dec. 15, 8-11am)

count down til partying it up in Boston/NY with the girls:  63 days (jan. 10-17...there's no going back now! plane tix have already been purchased!)

so went to so cal this past weekend for helen's bday (though I was early a couple of days) and it was a blast!  must say, everytime i go down, i love it more and more.  had great food, partied a bit, got really awesome gucci sunglasses, and just got to chill out with friends.  didn't have much time to see other people, but thanks to all ya'll that came out in irvine, thanks for putting up with me the entire weekend helen, and sorry i didn't get around to calling you ellen!!! don't be maaaaaaaad!!!

anyhow, here are some pictures from the weekend

me, helen, alice, and manly at tea station in irvine.  "but but...it's chao tian!" ahahhaha

hey look!  more EAPers!  its big dave and timbo

awww...she looks like a little kid with candy. haha. anything with alcohol makes this girl deliriously giddy.  isn't snowflake wrapping paper so purdy?? hehe

 "remmmmmy??? remmmmmmy??? remmmmmy???"  hahaa. hmmmmm...remy. haha

me, helen, and phoebe pretending we are crazy drunk

hehee. we went to a place called indian (think native american...haha)where the girls all have feathers in their hair and like it's all indian themed...except all the people there were all fobs (yaaaay for fobs!) and this was us trying to fit in as best as possible. hahaa

screwing around at sunglass hut with the on sale sunglasses. haha

these, on the other hand, are the awesome sunglasses that we got at gucci.  props to helen who spotted them!

so i wasn't wrong when i said that things won't get any better but can definately get alot worse.  well, it is now worse ^ 100th power. 

words cannot express how shitty i feel right now.  everything i've done , accomplished, experienced has been obsolete, it appears.  it was all for nothing. 

happy halloween everyone.  this halloween has surely ignited a great fear in me. 

so being home is great.  i can't stress how much i like being criticized about how fat i am, how much i need to exercise, and how little food i should eat.  i love being told that i'm overweight by taiwan standards (which is damn true but then EVERYONE HERE is overweight by taiwan standards.  sorry if i actually have muscles and am well-nourished and can carry things over 10 lbs.) and how i'm wasting away my youth being fat.

i also can't stress how much i like being criticized for the major i chose in college and constantly pressured to go pursue a master's degree in "something that other people won't do and that will never leave you jobless".  um, what...do you want me to become a garbage/trash collector????  i mean, honestly, that's one of the few things i can think of that many people would not want to do and that the job will be around forever because there will always be trash that needs to be taken out.  in that case, didn't have to waste the thousands of dollars spent going to college and studying my ass off for.  god.  i seriously can't stand it anymore. 

#1.  i am NOT going to go pursue a master's degree in something that DOES NOT interest me. 

#2. i totally do NOT want to go back to school yet.  yah, sure, in the near future, but not NOW! 

#3.  i am NOT about to pursue a master's degree in a country whose language i can't speak completely fluently in.  really, how the HELL am i suppose to learn something if i can't even understand the damn language it is spoken in???  stop trying to ship me off abroad against my will to get a master's degree in some shit major.  I ONLY WANT TO GO TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE not get another degree!

#4.  the only profession i can think that is pretty stable or at least will guarantee you a pretty damn good income is being a lawyer, a doctor, or famous.  ok, NOT interested in being a lawyer whatsoever.  doctor?  err...yah, no.  i didn't even get a decent grade in chemistry.  and being famous?  who are we kidding... 

#5.  it doesn't help that my parents do not know what the hell my major is about and that they keep thinking i should go to a temp agency to find a job.  you do not go to temp agencies for job placement when you friggin do engineering from cal.  YOU DO NOT.

#6.  given that i reassure them constantly that my major is GOOD, that people actually want IEORs, that we are a great asset to any company and that you can find plenty of jobs with a good salary, it doesn't help that i'm majorly bombing my interviews and not doing so well in the job-hunt category.

aiya.  i need a drink.  rather, i need a job.

lol. apparently working at accenture is not paying enough...or rather, living in ny is just too damn expensive. hahahaha.  oh man.  :0

long overdue...but this was from alice and victor's wedding back in september.  i'm so glad that they finally tied the knot after all this time.  very cute how they've been dating ever since high school.  kinda nuts...

a picture of a picture. hehehe.  i liked this photo a lot...so much that i had to take a picture of it! haha

the three sisters at the reception dinner, oldest to youngest from left to right:  grace, alice, and emery. 

me and nile who i haven't seen since taiwan back in january.  good stuff to meet up again, 9 months later... haha

me and emery!

so pretty cool how i've been to 2 weddings this year already. although both weddings were alcohol-free, heh , it was still mucho fun!

and on to more pictures...

can you see who it is?  can you see who it is?  can you see who it is? 

KELLY CLARKSON AT THE GREEK!!!  too bad she had bronchitis and couldn't sing as crazy.  it was still really good...just do damn short.  less than an hour...can you believe it?  geez...i was kinda pissed...but i still love her. heh

so sitting in my room all alone, i get to thinking and missing a lot of people.  i miss talking to people and not to the computer or through a phone.  i miss going on food runs, yogurt park runs, boba runs, random guilty pleasure food runs late at night (i.e. calzone!!!).  i miss the girls.  *sigh*. guess we all have to grow up at one time or another.  it just sucks because we had such a good thing, all of us living together.  now it seems that everyone is just so sad, miserable, and depressed wherever they are.  ehh..i guess there's always that adjustment period...i do wish the best for all my ex-roomies and ex-classmates and i hope they do end up loving what they are doing, where they are at, etc. etc. etc.  but please do keep in mind that we must centralize our decentralizness one of these days...how else are we going to party it up in vegas???!!!

hehe this was one of our crazy clubbing nights back in september before tracy left for ny.  OooOOOh good times!  ang, tracy, sarah before club whisper. heh

sarah and me

haha the aftermath.  tracy having a bit too much fun...or rather, not so much fun at all. hahaa.  i love sarah's expression. hhehehe

while stressing out today, i noticed something- i like being stressed out.  well...i guess what i mean to say is that being stressed out is somewhat more of a need to me because i'd rather be stressed out then not.  i think it kinda has to do with the fact that i'm always somewhat tense and if i'm not, i'm stressing out about NOT being stressed out (because what is not going on that should be going on?!!!)...and that just stresses me out even more. 

err...so bottom line, i think its healthy for me to be just mildly stressed ALL THE TIME.  how sad. 

"getting-raped-in-interviews"  season is coming up.  so is "getting-my-ass-kicked-on- midterms-and-the-only-thing-that-makes-me-feel-better-is-to-binge-eat" season.  mMmMmMMmm gotta love it. bring it on, baby, bring it on.  i'll be ready for you.
