Title this later

note the mess of clothes spilling out of the closet, I have now resorted to wearing Oscar’s clothes because mine are all dirty >_> I did a load of underwear but other than that … yeah.

I am tired! I’ve been getting to know wordpress a lot more this past week… also hung out with emma during lunch and we’d have a great time bitching about dumb rude slutty people.

had dinner with Ah!lex at a nummy vegetarian place called Naam. He had a giant burger with never-ending alfalfa and I had a super burrito platter.

Alfalfa! that is one of the words I had to type a lot in keyboard class way back then. Who else did those typing tests? I type super fast now but also with a lot of errors ahhaha alfalfa alfalfa alfafla aflafla

ANYWAY

Then we went to have bubbletea and AH!lex saw someone he knew. She kept looking at him (probably confused) because it looked like we could possibly be on a date. She must have thought that was very not queer weird of him to be with a girl ;P

End of the 21st Year

Oscar’s little brother left to go back home… back to Paris! They had some fun nights while he was here, lots of gaming and junk food and alcohol. I just watched a video of Kevin from two nights ago and he is a racist drunk.

he was telling his white friend that God made him wrong and he needs to be painted yellow, and that his filipino friend was “overcooked” haha… they all had a good chuckled and Kevin doesn’t remember how much he drank :P

I don’t get drunk that much, but I have been told I am quite fun, on the rare occasion it happens >_> I think my friends mean that I am MORE fun when I’m drunk, where as sober Rebecca is too blasé that they feel the need to force alcohol down my throat to unleash the naughty (more fun) version.

Maybe I’m like Monica from Friends.
I do like to clean (sometimes).

Talking about Friends at work always makes me feel super old, because apparently certain young people who work in the photo lab thinks Friends is “boring”. Instead she prefers to watch the news, and whenever I make a Friends anecdote she looks at me like I’m about to take out my dentures and knit her a crochet pyjama set.

Friends is classic! But it made me realize that youth today are into different things, because that’s the way time (and television) works.

BRING ON THE MILEY CYRUS. I can take her. Or at least I have the remote control to switch her off, and watch something else, like the history channel. anything is better than young disney people shows. or vampires.

*please don’t throw things at me, COUGHtwilightfansCOUGH*

Hope for the better

and the bad news continues… however, overall, I am still feeling quite hopeful about this year! I refuse to feel negative about fresh starts, although I suppose the Earth spinning one full circle around the sun hardly means we as human beings get a fresh start.

One of my friends revealed to me that they are sick, doctors give a year or two but medication seems to have slowed down the tumor. I am trying to be positive because it seems like new technology has given people more time than they have before, and that’s something really big to hold on to, right? I mean, Magic Johnson’s been HIV positive almost 20 years and he’s still alive, so there’s hope despite the bad news?

It’s one of those things that kind of shuffles your priorities . About two years ago, a friend of mine passed away from a brain tumor, for the first time I really thought about how delicate and small life can be when something like this happens to someone you know – the pace of events from diagnosis, to hospitalization and surgery to death. It’s still really hard for me to grasp and accept illness and death when it happens to young people. I don’t want it to sound like my friend will die soon for sure, because right now it seems like there is hope, and I think there’s still lots to look forward to.

Although even without cancer and sickness, life is really short. I am kind of lost because I’m not sure what my priorities are and wondering if they make sense. Although I suppose no one really knows the purpose of life and the only way to get through it is to experience what you can, while you can. What does it mean to live? What gives you fulfillment? Are some things worth pursuing or is it just silly in the long run? It’s always a curve ball when you worry about grades, jobs or body fat when a friend tells you they have cancer, it really makes you realize how there is always a bigger picture.

Not even a week into this new year and I’m getting all existential :/

So, to conclude – hug your friends, laugh, make healthy choices and don’t worry :)

DoucheMobiles

some guys really are a few fries short of a happy meal! I almost got run over by these two idiots in a fugly lowered car with one of those muffler things that makes the car really, unnecessarily loud. and douchebaggy. the driver was pretty fat, maybe that’s why he needed the car to be lowered so requires him less effort to get into his douchemobile. SERIOUSLY. Why do people put that shit on their cars? It’s like HEY WORLD, LOOK AT MY CAR, IT RAPIDLY FARTS LIKE YOUR UNCLE NED AFTER TEXAS CHILE NIGHT, I’M SO COOL.

whyWhyWHY?!!!!

they thought it would really funny to brake really slowly without full stop while i was crossing the pedestrian crosswalk, NOTE THE YELLOW FLASHING LIGHT. AND PEDESTRIAN. I mean, I know it’s Richmond and we’re known for really bad asian lady mom drivers, but these two guys were stupid white boys grinning at me like they’re the shit because I sidestepped for them.

too bad there was no police car around :/ If i hadn’t dodged them, they would’ve really hit my leg and I could probably end up with a viable lawsuit.

second day of the year our house floods, fourth day of the year I almost get hit… and this was supposed to be a good year!!

haha I actually feel pretty good about this year, so maybe the universe meant my mood, not so much by what happens around me.

also, Emma and I got into the course about dating and relationships so I’m definitely looking forward to that! =D

kitchen water pipe 1, dad 0

i was quite excited about the present I gave to Oscar :P

and the close-up

claim my man’s shirt! haha

i stole the idea from this post from Garance, she wrote about this photographer named Cedric Bihr and how his wife embroidered a heart in the flap of his jean shirt pocket <3 and I loved that so much, I decided to do it for Oscar =D

…

it’s only the second day of this year, and the first floor of my house already flooded. the pipe my dad tried to “fix” in the kitchen exploded sometime between last night and this morning, and filled the kitchen, dining area and the path to the front door with an inch of water D: my parents spent 4 hours trying to get the water out (of course I was sleeping [I have an excuse, I am sick {and they didn't wake me up}]) but now the carpet is dried and everything is good. phew.
