well hey guys. this will be a quick blog because i’m going to bed in a couple of minutes. so the hr lady came to me and told me that the receptionist won’t be at work on thursday and monday so i get to fill in. yay for me. at least i won’t have to photocopy or rip out ads. today i had to copy powerpoint slides onto these huge poster things. i kept messing them up so i had to redo them. there was this pyramid that i had to draw with a ruler and i was almost done with it when i messed up! i did it again ad at the end i messed up again. i got really frustrated and the administrative assistant said i could finish it tomorrow. hehe. yay. anyway, the yankees beat the orioles. yay. yay for ruben sierra’s homerun. i’m going to read for a little bit and then go to bed. i can’t wait until thursday. gnite <3

i really hate sundays. i haven’t done much this weekend. friday night was a little too crazy for me. i hung out with my high school friends for the first time in over a year. it was pretty cool to catch up with them. we went to a lounge in the city. saturday i went to minado for lunch buffet. it was good, but they didn’t have my favorite seaweed salad. we went kind of late, so there wasn’t as much food as usual. that’s okay though. after lunch, mom, jessica, and i went to roosevelt field to get our passports renewed at the passports. looks like everyone and their mom were also getting their passports renewed. my mom and jessica took a long time filling out the forms, and soon a line formed behind them. i had to help my sister fill hers out because she’s never filled out an application by herself obviously! when we finished our passport stuff, we went shopping. i bought some cute stuff at ae. i wanted to buy jeans at jcrew, but they didn’t have my size. :/ the other jeans looked funny on me. i really want to buy a pair of these slippers. my mom and i asked random girls who were wearing similiar slippers where they bought their shoes. one told me a flea market, another told me brooklyn nyc. hehe. i wish i lived closer to chinatown so i could go buy myself a pair of them. my mom says those slippers are cheap and will probably break after i wear them a couple of times. that’s okay with me, they look super cute with capris or skirts. today i’m doing fun laundry. i slept a lot last night. i guess i need it since i will be getting like 6 hours a night because of work. blaaaaaaaaah. i’m just glad i only have work until thursday. thank god for the 4th of july!! <3

i think i’m the only person at work right now. i arrived at work at around 8:30 a.m. yeah i know, i’m an eager beaver. it’s just because i know that the e train leaves 179th street at 7:35 a.m., and i don’t feel like taking the f and then transferring to the e. usually i end up standing up for the majority of the ride on the e. anyway, i’m sure you guys have no idea what i’m talking about. cici and i have been talking about diets and being healthy. did you guys know that a 30 minute workout at 6 intensity approximately burns 272 calories? that’s equivalent to 1/2 cup of haagen-dazs ice cream, or 1 (2 oz.) croissant, or 1 strawberry kiwi snapple. isn’t that kind of discouraging? i also read in the atkins book that gardening for 30 minutes burns 215 calories! all this time i’ve been running my butt off the treadmill. grr. i guess it’s good for my heart. hopefully this will make me healthier and not have heart disease at such an early age. ok enough of this dieting babble. i will leave you guys with the usual friday five:

1. How are you planning to spend the summer [winter]?
this summer i am a unpaid intern at a pharmacuutical advertising firm in nyc.

2. What was your first summer job?
hrmm, i think i was a camp counselor at my school district’s day camp. that’s when i learned that i could never succeed as a teacher.

3. If you could go anywhere this summer [winter], where would you go?
well, i really wanted to go to taiwan before this whols sars thing. this summer i want to go to europe. i’ve never been there. maybe i can go this winter.

4. What was your worst vacation ever?
hrm. most of my vacations were pretty good. my friends had bad luck when we went to california like 2 years ago. it was freezing and overcast the whole week we were there. i don’t know if that qualifies as the “worse” vacation ever. i’ll have to get back to you guys on that!

5. What was your best vacation ever?
oh geez, here’s another toughie. i really liked all the cruises my family took in the caribbean. we got to see the mayan ruins, traverse these waterfalls in jamaica, go scuba diving, ride horses in the banana fields, and all sorts of things. it was really exciting.

ok well, i guess i should go pretend to look busy. tgif!! <3
