we win!
May 31st
yankees beat the “toothless” detroit tigers today (yesterday). 6-0 baby. we regained our #1 spot in the al east.
yay for the yankees. i’m glad toronto kicked boston’s butt today.
my family and i went to bertucci’s for dinner. it was very yummy! the waiter was so friendly too. the exact opposite of a chinese waiter at a chinese restaurant.
i just upgraded mt, so let’s see if it works. tomorrow john ale is announcing the players for his internet version of the mole. i’m actually getting more interested in this game. we’ll see if i’ll follow it this time.
[edit]i updated my mp3 playlist. i made it all pretty. yeah i’m a dork. [/edit]
friday five
May 30th
wow this week’s friday five is actually good:
1. What do you most want to be remembered for?
i just want to be remembered as a good sister who is always helping others out.
2. What quotation best fits your outlook on life?
i’ve developed a new philosophy… i only dread one day at a time. –charlie brown
3. What single achievement are you most proud of in the past year?
hmm. i know this is kind of geeky, but i’m proud that i got a b in finance. i worked my ass off for that grade. also, i’m proud to finally make it on the high dean’s list for both semester. booya!
4. What about the past ten years?
i’m proud to not let anything keep me from being successful in life.
5. If you were asked to give a child a single piece of advice to guide them through life, what would you say?
friends can last a lifetime if you pick the right ones.
ok well the questions were good, but my answers sucked. sorry guys. anyway, i really want to go to the cheesecake factory. mmmm. grace and i are going to z100′s zootopia on sunday! grace won free tickets so that’s the only reason i’m going. truthfully, it’s not worth 50 bucks to see singers/bands sing their one hit. i can’t wait for john mayer’s concert on august 16!! woohoo. i’m done babbling!
:)
May 29th
hello guys! didn’t do much today. i called back the hr person from kpr because she left a message. she suggested that i might come in earlier and leave later. ugh. it really sucks to have a nonpaid internships. transportation is going to cost me $70 a month (for an unlimited metrocard). blah. i’ll be bringing in my lunch everyday cuz i don’t have any money. in other news, i went to get my license renewed. yay. it only took me about an hour because literally everyone and their mom was there. it was crazy. the line was outside of the door. i worked out today too. go me. i’m so good. =) being fit rules. anyway, i guess i might be going to bed soon. i’m so bored. gnite. <3
yay =)
May 28th
so today i tried to turn on my computer and it started to make the dreaded clicky sounds. i kept rebooting repeatedly and my computer could not find my c drive. i opened up my tower because i am a big geek, and i pushed some cables and then it worked. all my computer literate friends tell me that my hard drive is slowly dying and that at one point it will just not work anymore. rather than wait for that day to arrive, i decided i’d take action and get a new hard drive installed. i call my mom who conveniently works at a computer store and she tells me to come over. i’m like oh ok i will drive dad’s old buick! she’s like oh no he took it, so you have to take the honda! the honda is our new car. just a couple of months old. it took me like 5 minutes just to get out of the drive way. i bet my neighbors thought i was retarded. i got a new hard drive (not ibm thank goodness). then my mom’s boss said i could probably send back my crappy ibm hard drive and get it replaced since it’s most likely under warranty. i checked online, and it said yep my hd was still under warranty. so we shipped it back today. hopefully they will give me a new one soon. i’m not sure i trust ibm hard drives anymore. i might just give it to my mom. i heard from my friend that they might send me an even bigger hard drive because they probably no longer make my 40 gig hd. that would be cool!
anyway, today is the season finale of sorority life 2. i might go watch that. also, it’s the season premiere of “fame”. it’s 2 hours long! basically it’s like “american idol”, but the contestants have to know how to sing, dance, and act. ooh multi-talented people!
i’m done updating my parents’ computers. i’ll blog more later! <3 by the way, my future husband is pitching tonight!!!
let’s go yankees!! make it 2 in a row!!
goodbye bum life :(
May 28th
i will be working soon for free. probably in a couple of days. *cry*. i guess it’s better than sitting around the house and being the house slave!!
anyway, my sister was nice enough to help me get an internship at her company. yay. i was told there will be a lot of paperwork and filing. how exciting. no one else wanted me this summer.
ok i won’t get depressed! anyway, the yankees finally won a game. 11-3 baby. woohoo. that kind of lifted my spirits. i worked out today too. yay for being healthy!
ok well, sorry for such a boring blog, but that’s all i have to say now! gnite <3
another rainy day
May 26th
roger clemens was denied his 300th win against his past team, the boston red sox. i am a big yankees fan, but really, the yankees are sucking. i can’t believe they used to be 20-4. now they only a couple of games over .500. isn’t that pathetic? ok rather than get more depressed about how much the yankees suck right now, i will talk about my wonderful dim sum brunch.
i have not had dim sum in months, so i anticipated a great meal. when we arrived at golden pond in kew gardens (i think), there were almost no customers. i’m used to kb garden and its bustling cart pushers. there was one lone cart pusher. at first the food was very slow, but it soon picked up. anyway, the baked pork buns were quite tasty. i had 2. mmmmmmm. how delicious! i had some shrimp shumai (har gow in cantonese). i also had these rice shrimp rolls called xia chang fen (har qiang in cantonese). yummy! i’m getting hungry just writing about it. mmm food is great. i must eat healthy for dinner though. note to self: turkish food is not my thing.
after i got home from dropping of my sister and my cousin in the city, i turned on the tv to watch the yankees lose. they never fail to disappoint me. i worked out at the same time. then i showered. here i am in my new gap capri sweatpants. yay. i guess i might have to go look for some food in the kitchen. oh yeah, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! thanks for all those who served in war. <3<3
old blogs
May 25th
ok so i seemed to have lost my last 3 blogs before the move, so here they are for your reading pleasure:
may 23, 2003
i’m really against diets, but i’m kind of following the south beach diet. it’s a modified atkins diet. i am totally against the atkins diet because i love carbs too much to totally give it up along with veggies and fruit! i read this article about low-carb diets versus low-fat diets. it’s kind of interesting. so if you guys are in the mood of trying a new diet, the south beach diet seems to be the hottest diet around. =) you can lose up to 13 lbs in two weeks. it’s kind of crazy. i think i’ve already lost 5 lbs in a week. besides eating a lot healthier, i exercise 4 times a week. i run on the treadmill for 30 minutes. i also do ab stuff. anyway, just thought i’d share that with you guys. gnite. <3
here’s the next one
More >
yay!
May 20th
my site is alive
hurrah. anyway, i will keep this blog short. the wedding was nice. i didn’t make any big mistakes while being dj teresa for the ceremony. i didn’t get to see the entire ceremony because i was behind the scenes. oh well! there will always be next time. i really liked the dress i wore. <3 express! i have another interview tomorrow. this is for a paid internship! yay. oh here is the best news….*drumroll* i got a 4.0 for last semester! yayay. my last professor finally put up his grades. i’m sooo happy. booya! :) ok gnite. <3
congratulations ann and rob!
May 16th
today is my cousin, ann’s wedding! my family is going to boston for her wedding.
anyway, i think my site might be down this weekend. i believe my host is changing isps or something. so don’t miss me too much.
i’m still missing two grades. grr! i hope they are up soon. anyway, i need to call a company back. i’m off to boston! <3

May 15th
this economy sucks. i’m trying to find an internship. someone hire me please? i’ll work for free. just hire me! yankees suck
. moose lost yesterday, and i think we lost again tonight. i’m too scared to check the score. anyway, i have to go to bed since i will be waking up at 7 am tomorrow. yay. what a depressing blog. sorry guys! :/
jeter’s back!
May 13th
woo guess who’s pitching tonight? my hubby, MOOSE (mussina). here is a picture of him:

hello :)
May 12th
i woke up early today at 7:30 a.m. that’s pretty early for me considering that i had 10:30 a.m. classes for a whole semester. hehe. diana and i didn’t get on the train until 9:22 a.m. she had all this stuff to do at the doctor’s and in the end she didn’t even get her blood test. stupid hmos! anyway, so at penn station i walked to diana’s apartment (alice’s old apartment). i dropped off her stuff and got the tuna and went to her office for my first real interview. i guess i did ok since i didn’t really prepare for it. it’s supposed to be for practice. i just sent out my thank you e-mail. i need to start preparing for my next interview with first investors. hopefully i will do better in that one! i checked my grades today and 2 grades are up! i just need 3 more grades to see if i really got straight a’s. that will be a BIG accomplishment for me. =) and it’ll definitely boost my pathetic qpa. oh yeah, my cousin ann is getting married this friday. i’m excited about that. my first wedding that i’ll actually be attending. ok i’ll stop babbling now. byebye!!
i’m home!
May 11th
i love new york so much! i’m glad to be back.
i hope you guys didn’t miss me too much! anyway, i just wanted to say
happy mother’s day!!!
tonight i’m going out with my grandparents for dinner. mmm. chinese food rocks. anyway, i hope the yankees can pull through and win tonight. i’ll be staying at my sister’s apartment tonight. i got a big interview tomorrow. yay. =)
friday five
May 9th
this week’s friday five wasn’t so bad. so rather than blog about my boring life, here it is:
1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not?
i’m pretty organized when it comes to my things because it’s important for me to find things that i need. this does not mean my room is always clean. for school, i am definitely organized.
2. Do you keep some type of planner, organizer, calendar, etc. with you, and do you use it regularly?
yeah i have a planner for school. i write all my assignment due dates and such. i refuse to buy a pda yet!
3. Would you say that your desk is organized right now?
no my desk isn’t organized. it’s in the middle of getting packed up!
4. Do you alphabetize CDs, books, and DVDs, or does it not matter?
no way. i’m not that crazy!!
5. What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever had to organize?
my life.
ok that was fast. it’s rainy here in pittsburgh! i’m going home in a day.
<3
2 days left
May 8th
i only have two more days left at shitsburgh. i’m so excited. i’ve been checking my grades, but none of my professors put their grades in yet. i have to wait until may 20th! anyway, so my parents are coming on saturday. we’re going to drive like 3 hours back to ny, and then stay at some motel. then on sunday we’re going to drive all the way back. we’re going to be having dinner with my grandparents! i totally forgot they’d be in the u.s. now. hehe. my taiwanese really sucks now, i hope i can still speak a little. oh well. yesterday i went to j’s place and we chilled. ji left this morning, so we all got together last night and had a girls’ night in. it was cool. =) i am going to be packing like crazy tomorrow because storage will be opened. i’m supposed to go out with my friends tomorrow night. it’s going to be sad because i won’t see a couple of my friends until august. damn you west coast people! the good news is that a lot of people will be working in nyc, so we will definitely hang out.
today i worked from 1:30-6 pm. it was mucho fun. stupid people were annoying me. this one guy saw me chatting on aim, and was like “easy job right? what are you doing?” i just smiled. i should have told him to go shower, get contacts, and get a freaking tan. the only reason i was at work was because my boss e-mailed me and asked me to come in. i hate ungrateful geeks. die die die! today was my last day at work. hurrah. no more stinkies until august. wow the guy next to me is writing in his xanga our school is extremely geeky! i’m going to go eat indian with sang later. poor sang still has a final tomorrow
moose rules
May 8th
i have concluded that mike mussina rules. he won his 7th straight game today (yesterday) against the mariners. woohoo! the yankees finally broke their 3 game losing streak. about time!! anyway, i should really go to bed. it’s late. what’s up with all these stupid birds chirping? grr. gnite <3
rant
May 7th
this event happened a couple of weeks ago. ji and i were assigned to going to the ghetto giant eagle on centre avenue. i was kind of excited because it was my first time there. i had heard so much about this horrible place. hehe. so we walk there, and whoa once we got onto centre avenue, everything turned very ghetto. it was kind of scary. good thing the sun was out. so we finally got to giant eagle and bought our coke and left. on the way back, an african american woman walks up to us and says “can you spare any change?” the truth of the matter is that i was not carrying any money whatsoever, so we both said “sorry”. then she’s like, “sorry for what? sorry for coming to the united states?” ji and i were speechless. we could have taken her right there and then! two little asians! grr. i’m sure we’d get tackled on right after by all the other thugs, but still!! i remember this saying, “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” (or something to that extent). another one that could apply to this situation is, “beggars can’t be choosers”. ok i am done ranting.
in other news, yes the yankees lost. what is wrong with them? i’m very sad about all their losses
. boohoo. i am doing laundry now. there is so much stuff. wahh. i stored boxes last night. what a workout! i’m going over to j’s to bake cookies. i’m bringing over a lot of ingredients because i have so much leftover. =) ok well i’m going to go get ready!
i am done!
May 6th
i finished my last final! woohoo! i just have to do my intl management take home thing. it’s really not a big deal. i just need 4-10 slides on a case. haha. what a joke. i think i might get straight a’s this semester. my qpa really needs another boost. hehe. anyway, i started to pack all my crap into boxes. one box is sooo heavy. it’s full of textbooks. i hope my neighbor (who is a guy) will help me move the boxes to storage tonight. *crosses fingers*. i woke up at 5:30 today because i heard the birds chirping! it was so weird. first i got a drink of water, then i decided i might as well stay up and study for my final. i’m crazy. oh well. i finished the final in less than 2 hours. it was nice. =) the final could have been a lot worse if professor hofstede was a meanie, but he’s not. i’m definitely happy to have had him teach me one course. it’s kind of refreshing to know that at least one professor at cmu actually enjoys what he’s teaching. throughout the entire semester, professor hofstede has always asked us what we think about the course. he strived to make us happy, and he succeeded. i’m sad that he’s leaving cmu to go to some texas school in austin. all because cmu won’t give him tenure.
i’m in a pretty good mood at work. 2 patrons asked me about books they couldn’t find. i found one on the cart at the circ desk, and one was in the back of the room. i was so happy. sometimes these patrons expect me to go look for the book for them in the stacks. i work at the circulation desk. i CHECK out books. if i went to find every book for every clueless patron, then i should get a tip! haha. ok i’ll stop rambling now. i can’t wait to go home. pittsburgh really is the pits. oh yeah, there’s a yankees game tonight. they really need to kick butt tonight. they’ve lost 2 straight.
wahh.
let’s GO YANKEES!!
8 more hours..
May 6th
in 8 hours i will be taking my last final as a junior at college. i thought this final was going to be easy, but there is a ton of information that i need to have memorized. =( i calculated that i only need a 68 to get an a in this class. that’s kind of encouraging right? anyway, i better get to bed. gnite!! <3
yucky weather!
May 5th
i had a pretty good weekend. i slept over j’s place on saturday. we did nothing but nap all day. haha. actually, we went to shadyside to buy tania a birthday gift. i hate how my birthday is in the summer and never get anything from my friends. it sucks. i buy them all these gifts for them, and what do i get? nada! ok i’m done ranting about that. hehe. my apartment had a kickass bbq on saturday, so of course i invited all my friends
heehee. it was delicious. i got some apple pie! on friday i went out with my girls. it was mucho fun. i can’t believe i’m leaving in less than a week. it’s so weird because i haven’t even started to pack. i guess i will start after tuesday. i gotta start storing everything.
ok well, i need to study hardcore for international marketing. my final is tomorrow at 8:30 am!! ahh. i hope i don’t miss it. that’s my worse nightmare. <3
last day of classes!
May 2nd
i have one more class today and then this semester is over! actually i still have one final, but still.
anyway, i was reading cici’s page as usual. she did this palm reading exercise. i did it too, and this is what i got in the end:
You have a good imagination, and often exhibit sensitivity to others.
At times, you may tend to be overly sensitive to criticism. You can be excessively cautious or narrow in your outlook unless you receive the right kind of encouragement.
There may be times in your life when you give in to feelings of sadness or depression.
Your personality is dynamic and attractive to most people. The more branches you find in your heart line, the more friends and lovers you will have. Your sincerity and compassion make people like you even more.
There are inconsistencies in your energy level, possibly triggered by external factors or emotional changes.
You may suffer from low energy, allergies, or some kind of chronic health problem.
You are likely to make many changes in the direction of your life. This may be based on interruptions due to health problems, or it may be that you just have trouble focusing your energy.
There is a strong intuitive side to your nature, which may border on psychic or mystical ability.
ok so i don’t know if any of that is true. some of the questions they asked were kind of hard to answer. maybe that’s why i got this reading. anyway, tgif! school is almost OVER
i love john
May 1st
i’ve been thinking about taking a screenshot of my john mayer seats. here it is (a week later!)

ok back to practicing for my presentation!
woo
May 1st
1 final down, 1 more to go.
international law was hard. i loved how my professor only asked questions from chapter 8 and chapter 12. how considerate! at least i knew the articles from gatt (general agreement of trade and tariffs). haha. well tomorrow is my oral communications final presentation. i *hope* my class thinks our presentation is somewhat entertaining. we are the last group to present, so we better not suck.
oh well. i spent my day at the library today studying for internationa law. what a loser i am! ok i better get back to practicing my speech! i’ll leave you with some john mayer lyrics:
why did you mess with forever?
i came by to get my things
thank you for getting the door
but i don’t feel right walking in no more…
you think it’s cold
i did my crying at home
and i’m numb now
i’m numb now
before i’m on my way
i’ve one more thing to ask
was it worth the price you paid
for my never coming back?
why did you mess with forever?
such a long time
to be unkind
why did you mess with forever?
don’t you call me cruel
cruel is what you’re making me do
i stick to my rules
i’m at odds with my heart
something tells me i should look you in the eye goodbye
before i’m on my way
i’ve one more thing to ask
was it worth the price you paid
for my never coming back
why did you mess with forever?
such a long time
to be unkind
why did you mess with forever?
you ask to kiss me once goodbye
but you already did on somebody else’s lips
tell the tiny chemicals
the ones you hold responsible
they lost me
you lost me
now everything inside me tells me i should run to you
and throw my arms around you
hold your steaming crying cheek against my own
and tell you nothing’s wrong
but a wrong is what you were when you forgot
that we were going on
that we were going on
that we were going strong
tell me why did you mess with forever?
such a long time
to be unkind
tell me why did you mess with forever?
