had a long day today.
Jul 30th
had a long day today. i had this whole plan that i would leave work at 5:00 p.m. and then take the bus to downtown flushing. once there i would go to the 7 subway station to buy an emergency metrocard so i won’t have to pay $1.50 in coins when my current metrocard runs out. my boss tells me that she has a closing at 3:00 p.m. she leaves late as usual and only gives me 4 things to do while she’s gone. i’m done in 30 minutes so i begin playing solitaire and hearts. i get so bored. anyway at around 4:45 p.m., i call diana and tell her my plans about buying some things at hong kong supermarket. then at 4:50 p.m. my boss calls and tells me to call amerasia bank and ask them if they can wait for us because we need to drop off some documents. we finally get to the place at like 5:20 p.m. then i go in and some stupid guy is like oh the lady left blahblahblah and spends like 10 minutes (it felt like 10 minutes) looking at all the documents. i was going to say like “we can come back another time”. finally he’s like we’ll keep these and then notarize them later. blah! so i get back into the car and inform my boss of what happened, and she’s like ok, and she’s like where do you need to go? i tell her, and she drops me off. once at the store i run through the aisles and buy the items on my list. i finish by 5:55 p.m. i know hong kong supermarket very well. actually, i was having problems finding the ramen section; who would have thought? hehe. anyway we come home and i tell diana about how i left the empty garbage can right in front our front door and how i was hoping a certain someone would actually put it away. lo and behold, we arrive home and there the garbage can is put away! i was amazed. that almost made my day. this is probably why i decided to stir fry some chinese vegetables for jessica and i. it turned out pretty good. tasted just like mom’s! after dinner i showered and decided to nap since i was beat. i woke up at 9:30 p.m. and here i am: slightly refreshed. anyway, that’s about it to my boring day in flushing. byebye <3

hello, i had a great
Jul 28th
hello, i had a great weekend. now i feel that i must respond to an issue a certain family member has pointed out to me. this member was upset that i blogged about him/her. in fact he/she demanded i remove all blogs concerning him/her. he/she was afraid of his/her privacy online. anyway, i got kind of upset, but i guess i understand his/her point of view. i just feel that i should be able to write about anything i want. i already self-censor myself because i’m aware my family reads this. i just wanted to get some things off my chest yesterday. i did not talk badly about a family member; just pointed out some obvious facts. anyway, i thought i should be allow to address this issue on my own website. i will be sure not to mention this particular family member in my blogs again.
in other news, i didn’t do that much this weekend, but it doesn’t matter to me. my boyfriend came over this weekend and after an hour discussion, my family and i decided we would have dinner near roosevelt field mall at 6:30 p.m. after arguing between chili’s, tgif, and macaroni grill, we ended up going to bertucci’s after dinner, my boyfriend and i watched “robin williams live in new york city”. i never knew mr. williams was such a dirty ole’ man. he sweats like a pig as well! he also enjoys grabbing his crotch while performing. today, after waking up at 11:30 a.m., my boyfriend and i decided we’d go to roosevelt field mall so i could use my $50 gap giftcard that i received form my generous cousin, alice. thanks! we ended up just eating lunch there and then we went home because i felt sick. i had a stomach ache. i’m such a baby when i’m sick. =/ i felt bad since my boyfriend drove us to the mall and all we did was eat ranch 1. we went to stop and shop and bought cranberry juice because i think i have a urinary tract infection. i’ve been peeing a lot. it’s kind of disturbing. i want my mommy! i took a 2.5 hour nap in my parents room. my stomach ache is finally over for now. ok well i’ve blogged enough for today. i love when people leave me cool comments on my site. i read every one of the comments you guys leave. thanks so much! <3
it’s official: my parents are
Jul 26th
it’s official: my parents are gone for two weeks! party party! just kidding, i’d never do such a thing!
i get to take care of angelic princess jessica. i’m so excited! *sarcasm*. anyway, i went to the library and returned all my tapes and movies. i got more movies to watch. it’s awesome that i can take out tapes at my local library and i get an entire week to watch them. it’s free too. =p woo. ok well i’ll blog later. <3
well hello there! it’s already
Jul 25th
well hello there! it’s already almost friday. hip hip hurrah! =) yesterday was a pretty good day. my boyfriend came over and i made him wonton noodle soup. yum. =p i told him not to try to help because he’d just cause more chaos. he kept insisting he’d help so i gave him the easy task of puting the bag of noodles into the pot. of course he couldn’t even do that. in fact, half of the water splashed out. after that incident, i told him to just sit down while i cooked. haha. anyway, we ate lunch and watched “meet the parents” on dvd. i love that movie. apparently when we were watching the movie, fed ex came with my compact flash, but i somehow didn’t hear the door bell. when we went to drive my little princess sister to the library which is located down the block, i noticed this note from fed ex. it said that my package would be available at the local fed ex place after 7:30 p.m. of course i begged my boyfriend to bring me there so i could get my precious compact flash for my new digital camera. we get there and after what seems like an eternity, the fed ex lady gives me the package. we go back to the car and i rip open the box, and what did i discover? 128 mb of smart media! grr. rather than go on with how frustrated and upset i was, all is fixed. i called newegg and they are shipping me the correct order. i will ship back the smart media and get reimbursed for the shipping. grrr. after resolving that issue, we decided we’d go to bertucci’s for dinner. i remember my mom mentioning that it’s located near target. so we drive around target and i couldn’t find it. i call home and then i given clearer directions. around 8:15 or so we finally arrive at bertucci’s. mmmm. i love italian food! the bread was sooo good. yummy! my pasta was really good. it was shrimp basilica or something like that. it was tasty. mmmmmmmmm. of course my pathetic non-asian boyfriend could not finish both the appetizer (bruschetta) and his entree. being the chang trooper that i am, i was able to finish. haha. power to the pigs! hahaha. =)
oh yeah, i forgot to mention that my super geeky boyfriend was able to fix diana’s computer. her computer was having problems recognizing her burner. he actually opened her computer case and did all this geeky work. hahaha. i helped screw in something. i forget which part, but oh well! usually he charges at least $60/hr, but he fixed it free of chrage. i told him that i should at least get $20 since i helped. haha. =p ok well see how useful boyfriends can be? heehee. just kidding
ok so this is going to be a long blog. i’m sorry! today i went to work and did some boring stuff like scanning in documents. man scanning takes a long time! my boss made me pasta for lunch. she’s so sweet! hehe. i didn’t really do anything interesting at work. i did get my paycheck though! heehee. i’m rich! i need money for next semester’s textbooks. i watched “yi yi” tonight. it was a three hour movie. it was pretty good. i was happy that i could understand most of the taiwanese used in the movie. i also understood a decent amount of the mandarin. hehe. i wonder who they hire to translate the movies. the subtitles are always so off. hmm. so my parents are going to paris tomorrow. my parents are freaking out about how their three daughters will survive. i think they’re more worried about jessica’s well-being. haha. oh well, i will try my hardest to keep jessica fed, but i might go insane after living with her for two weeks without parents! ahh. ok well i’m done with my blog. for those who have made it to the end of my blog, i give you guys props for being true blog troopers. night <3

Jul 23rd
stories like this only make me more anti-china. grr. i know i’m a bit behind with the news. my friends mentioned this article earlier, but i thought i’d link to it now. i really don’t understand how the chinese government can sleep at night when they are allowing such practices to occur in their own nation. anyway, go read it now! be informed.
so my site is taking
Jul 22nd
so my site is taking forever to load. it’s my comments thingy that is lagging my site. sorry guys. so like food network went byebye. those 2 days of food network were wonderful. i just woke up and ate some of my delicious marble duncan hines cake. mmmmmmm.
i’m going out tonight with my college friends. we’re going to some italian restaurant that grace researched about. =D it’s going to be yummy! i still don’t feel any older. =( i don’t want to be 20!
hey guys! :) sorry for
Jul 21st
hey guys!
sorry for not blogging for a couple of days. so on friday, my mom and i watched “the emperor and the assassin”. i borrowed the tape from the library. it’s a chinese movie with gong li. she’s so pretty. hehe. i took a two hour nap from 8-10 p.m. before watching the movie. when i was in the family room with my mom, my mom told me she was watching channel 9. i thought she said 29 so i entered “29″, and lo and behold it was food network! my favorite cable channel! i was screaming happily. =) cablevision told us that it was a premium channel, therefore we never had it before. my mom told me to add the channel to our tv, and i did so. we still have it! my life is complete. after the movie, my mom and i just made it in time for the 1 am iron chef. it was great. morimoto won again.
wooooohoooo. he’s the coolest chef.
yesterday i went to olive garden and my friend and i watched the yankees game on tv. they won in the 11th inning. 9-8 baby.
i watched “road to perdition” starring tom hanks. it was really good. it was very “american beauty” like.
i can’t believe neither loews movie theaters near the mall were showing it. i had to go to the stadium theater in westbury on brush hollow road to see it. hehe. it was very worth it.
so today is my last day being a teenager. kinda depressing.
i’m going to morton’s tonight. i heard it has really good steak. i hope it is worth the money! hehe. i’m still trying to get jessica to bake me a cake. i have a feeling i will end up baking my own birthday cake. boohoo. see how much my sister loves me? hehe. ok well i’m done babbling for now. <3
hello my 3 readers! sorry
Jul 19th
hello my 3 readers! sorry for not blogging for a couple of days. not much has happened. i bought myself a new digital camera: a powershot s200 digital elph. it’s so nice.
too bad it only comes with 8 mb of compact flash. i bought some more compact flash on newegg.com. i hope it arrives soon. yesterday i went to my boss’s brother’s garden party. he’s an architect and he just finished this building, so we went to see it. it’s near south street seaport. yesterday was incredibly hot and humid. we had to take the 7 to 42nd street and then the 6. it was crazy. the party consisted of middle-aged caucasian couples. my boss, dad, jessica, and i were the only asians there. i felt like i did not belong. i bet the people thought jessica and i were random people from the street who came in only for the free food. haha. oh yeah, jessica and i were the youngest people there. we finally got my dad to stop talking and to leave around 7:30 p.m. woohoo. today i have no work. i woke up at 8:30 a.m. so i could get a blood test done. i didn’t die! the lady even used a smaller needle because she knew i was nervous. hehe. i filled up 3 tubes. awesome. my bday is in 3 days.
i feel so old. :/ i’ll blog more later. <3
haha, so i found more
Jul 16th
haha, so i found more funny comic strips @ angrylittleasiangirl.com. actually, my friend found this specific comic strip. hahaha. it’s hilarious. everyone go read it. =) by the way, i am done with my root canal. i am free! my dentist told me i’ve earned myself a free check up before i go to school. lucky me. after spending almost $3000 for all the cavities and root canal, i get a free check up. how asian like!
anyway i’m outties. <3

Jul 15th
ok sooo. i am starting to have doubts about this blogathon thing. i have to blog every 30 minutes for an entire day! it’s ok if no one else decides to sponsor me. i will just donate money to my specific charity. =p. in other news, my boss is so nice. she made me a turkey sandwich for lunch. plus she gave me an apple and popcorn. woohoo.
my birthday’s in a week!
i want to stay a teenager forever! boo. tomorrow is my last dentist appointment! i’m getting my crown for my root canal. woohoo! <3
i had a nice weekend.
Jul 14th
i had a nice weekend.
i went out with my friend. first we went to best buy where i could do more research on the digital camera i want for my birthday. yes my birthday is in 8 days. i can’t believe it! after best buy, we went to the mall and i bought capris at american eagle. they were on sale for $25. not bad! they are pretty cool too. before we new it it was 7 pm, so we went to olive garden to eat dinner, but there was an hour long wait. so we decided to just go to jillian’s and hope there was food. lucky for us, jillian’s served food. after eating a grilled chicken sandwich (it was pretty good!), we bowled. i am very bad in bowling. first the ball was too heavy, but then i found a 6 lb ball. yes i know, i’m weak. then i started to bowl a lot better. during my last game, i even bowled a strike! that’s a big deal for me. i also got a couple of spares. around 10 pm, this guy asks me to show him id, because it’s supposed to be 21 and over. last time we went to jillian’s, we asked if they carded, they said that as long as you come before 9, you’re ok. what liars! anyway, we were bored of bowling, so we left. hehe. tomorrow i have work. whoppee. i enjoy working because i only work like 6 hours. i also have long lunch breaks where i get to talk to my cool boss. she gives me a lot of food: yogurt, fruit, vegetables, and juice. i’m only working on monday and thursday this week. i have my last dentist appointment on tuesday! wooha. i’m so happy! i also volunteered to be a mentor to an incoming freshman business major. i thought it might be fun. we also get free pizza. haha. what an incentive!
lastly, i would like to thank the nice people who have been commenting. i appreciate all your comments, and i will continue to blog about my boring life! hehehe. i have visited all your sites, and i will probably email you guys. i love getting comments. i also installed a javascript code that tells you how many people are online. it’s on the left near the sitemeter. haha. enjoy!
it’s the weekend! sorry i
Jul 13th
it’s the weekend! sorry i haven’t blogged for a couple of days. anyway, my job keeps me pretty busy. i just come home to eat dinner. then i shower and go online for a bit. then it’s bedtime. so thursday i saw “men in black 2″. it wasn’t great; i wasn’t expecting it to be since it is the sequel. i’ve also heard bad reviews. i really want to see “road to perdition” since it’s directed by the same guy who did “american beauty”. it opened yesterday! maybe i’ll see it today! hehe. my cousin came over last night. i made oatmeal craisin cookies. since i was so determined to make my cookies last night, i actually drove to stop and shop to buy craisins, raisins, and other food. jessica came with me. she picked up some milk. oh yeah, so the first time i drive by myself, the police decides to close lakeville road. it was so weird. i hope nothing bad happened. ok well, i’m going to be going out soon. just thought i’d give a little update about my dull life. oh yeah i got paid yesterday! i’m finally making $$! woohoo. i’m outties. <3
hello! i survived my first
Jul 10th
hello! i survived my first day on the job. i arrived at the office a few minutes before 11:00 a.m. my boss wasn’t even there yet. i kept ringing the buzzer. then i see her coming in from the outside. hehe. anyway, i did a lot of typing today. i had to do all these legal documents. stuff i don’t even understand. my dad’s company is one of her clients, so it was kind of cool to see what he does. anyhow, why do asian companies have dialup for their internet? for 10 bucks more, they can get broadband and everything will be so much faster. my dad’s office also uses aol.com. it kind of sucks. ok well i just realized that blogger cannot publish my blog at the moment, so i guess i will finish this blog later. grr.
now blogger is working and i have nothing to say. i’m just not in a blogging mood anymore. oh well you guys will have to wait until tomorrow!
i went to the dentist
Jul 9th
i went to the dentist today. don’t ask about how much it sucked. i will never enjoy a dentist appointment. in other news, i got a job with my dad’s friend who is an attorney. the bad news is that her office is located in flushing. i will have to ride 2 buses everyday to get there. what joy! i’m kind of glad that i won’t be sitting home and chatting on aim anymore. hehe. well i start tomorrow. i get to pick up phones and do office stuff. i hope i remember how to do all the computer work! ok i’ll blog more later. <3
i had a great weekend!
Jul 8th
i had a great weekend! i don’t really feel like sharing the my entire weekend with everyone who reads my site, so i’ll just tell you guys what happened yesterday. my family and i went to california pizza kitchen. mmm. i love honey wheat dough. delicious! after dinner we went to blockbuster and diana and i picked out “gosford park”. we both heard it was good. i also told diana that mr. ryan phillipe was in it. he’s hot! too bad he’s married.
well, to keep a long story short, the movie was very complicated with many characters. i doubt my parents understood what was going on since i certainly wasn’t understanding all of it. my mom fell asleep. diana left early because she said she could only watch this type of movie during the day. this left my dad and i watching it. i got super sleepy and said that i had it with this movie and that i’d finish it later. haha. i have a dentist appointment tomorrow. wahh. i only have 2 more visits left though! no more root canal for teresa!
blogger sucks. the server always
Jul 6th
blogger sucks. the server always goes down. anyway, nothing much to update. i got my cell phone battery cover today in the mail! woohoo. i only paid $9.50. i called nokia and they said they don’t sell the battery covers. then i asked how much it would cost if i shipped them my phone, and they said $35! i went online and searched for the battery cover. it was only 8 bucks. hehe. awesome. it’s OEM (i forget what it stands for) which means it’s made by nokia. woohoo. i’m happy now. ok well i’m outties. <3
happy 4th of july!
Jul 4th
happy 4th of july! 
i haven’t really done anything today. i just came back from food shopping in flushing. it’s sooo hot outside. i thought i was going to melt! i’m going to go to jones beach to watch the pretty fireworks tonight. hopefully my dad and i will get there early enough to get a good spot. i hope the traffic isn’t as crazy as the last time we were there. i decided to wear patriotic colors today. heehee.
well i’ll blog more later. i hope you guys enjoyed merlin’s blog. it only took him 30 minutes to write! haha. laters!
Hello everyone! It’s been awhile
Jul 3rd
Hello everyone! It’s been awhile since I have blogged. I had another class to finish and a lot of consulting work to do. Now I finally have some relaxation time: time for sleeping, eating, going to the beach, and blogging. No, but seriously; who blogs? It’s like a diary that you brag about! I’m just kidding.
Anyway, today is ridicuously hot. I almost went running, but I was supposed to go sailing. The person with the boat canceled on me at the last minute which pissed me off a great deal. I could have gone to work, instead I took the first half of the day off.
So I also went to the liquor store today and I was amazed. I guess I should have known that it would be crowded the day before the 4th of July. It was crazy though. There were cars parked all over the street and in the parketing lot next to the store too. The line at the cash register stretched down two aisles of bottles. They added a person to the registers and it started going much faster. I actually did not wait too long.
My last item is about a server I’m building right now for one of my clients. It’s a dual Athlon MP 1800 server with all SCSI Ultra160 and 512 MB of RAM. I bought the case from Crazy PC. I highly recommend them. The case is gorgeous. It’s black aluminum, has a fans all over, and a blue LED in the front. It’s a joy to work inside too. Anyway, it’s tempting to swap the server with one of mine, but I would never do that. I know what I want to build for myself next though.
Some of you may have noticed, Teresa’s site has changed homes once again. I’d like to apologize for all the moves. It’s for the better in the long run. I think this new location will be very stable. The new look is very nice, and it also renders properly in Opera now. Good job Teresa!
