Of course, as expected I watched 3 episodes of Law & Order: SVU, 2 episodes of American Idol, and 1 episode of 7th Heaven. Someone help me-- I'm addicted to TV :(

It's finally feeling like Spring! Well, actually more like summer. I've scalded my skin a couple of times today on leather car seats... who says mini skirts are for summer! GRR~ It seems everywhere you go there are flowers everywhere... with Mother's Day coming up, and Graduation. Which reminds me I haven't got a Mom's Day gift and forgot to order Richard's Lei for Grad Day. I bought a cake at Amandine's today for Catherine's birthday-- and that was it~ I ONLY bought a cake, even though they had a full case of chocolate croissants and Chocolat Banana cakes. If that ain't discipline, I don't know what is! I also bought cute wrapping paper/ ribbon at the deli by our house. I didn't think Catherine would be home when I got back but she was! So I had to sneak everything in.
I found this on the UCLA website today:
UCLA Alma Mater:
Hail to the hills of Westwood,
To the mighty sea below;
Hail to our Alma Mater,
She will conquer every foe.
For we're loyal to the Southland,
Her honor we'll uphold;
We'll gladly give our hearts to thee,
To the Blue and to the Gold.
Sad to think I've been around here for 6 years and that's the first time I've seen that! I wonder ~ if I think really hard will I remember the words to the Whitney Alma Mater? Ugh, who wants to.. ^.^
So I'm procrastinating again. I have an Indo midterm tomorrow morning (Early!) and I have another midterm on Thursday. I haven't done any studying yet. Instead I've started on a James Patterson book and it's so hard to put down... And tonight is American Idol, and I still have SVU on Tivo... how am I supposed to study?
And it SUCKS that today is Big Band Day on American Idol. This is John Stevens' week! I'm so sad he's gone. I hope Jasmine does well, this doesn't seem like her type of song. I hope Fantasia & LaToya get kicked off. Please, please, please. Maybe I'll vote tonight. Maybe.
I can't believe the weekend is almost coming to and end :( Well on Saturday we had to stop by the office to get some work done. This next week is going to get pretty busy for me. I have to work almost every day and juggle that along with 3 midterms, read 1 book for school, and write 2 papers. I could start on it early, but I'd rather spend tonight catching up on all the Law & Order's I've been collecting over the week. Then after work Richard & I swung by Beverly Hills to search for my new wallet. Seems like we ran into a ton of Indo people at Louis Vuitton and Barney's... I guess we overlooked the fact that Rodeo is still THE Indo hang out for the weekend? Afterwards Catherine had a graduation dinner to go to so I helped her get ready. I haven't played make-over in a while so it was kind of fun.
Since graduation season is here, it's getting me to think about my own. Of course, UCLA is the last one to go, since all the other schools (including USC) have theirs in May. I was originally going to skip the walking and just take pictures and maybe have a little dinner with the family... but the more I think about it, the more I want to do more. Maybe I'll walk. Maybe I'll throw a dinner. We'll see.
Anyhow last night we went out to eat with Anton & Jen at a new restaurant near their apartment called the Spark Grill. (hee hee~) I thought it was interesting, I might take spark there when she moves here for May :) Anyhow it's a wood-burning oven type of Grill & the food was okay. I had a full rack of Baby Back Ribs (didn't finish) and some crab cakes. Afterwards we swung by Anton's place to play some Animal Crossing.
This morning I woke up l-a-a-a-te. I'm talking 12:30pm late (which is EARLY for Gerry). Got up, watched a couple of SVU episodes, then we went out to eat lunch at Singapore Express with Catherine. I haven't been there in a while so it was good comfort food. Then we went to Costco to restock on DVD's, books, and other house things.
Just saw Honey on DVD. I hate torturing myself and watching these dancy, tummy-bearing girls flaunt their 6-packs on the screen. Oh who am I kidding, I love it, I just don't like how I feel afterwards :)

Last few days there haven't been anything interesting enough to dedicate to an entire entry. I went to the mall with Natassia on Thursday (I didn't know there was a terrorist threat!) and while we were shopping we saw the American Juniors girls. Am I the only person who know who they are? Anyhow, for those of you who've never watched American Juniors, here's what they look like: (They are much shorter-looking in person)
I was supposed to have lunch with Gerry that day but he flaked out on me. Had more important plans. How sad :( I may just as well flake on his birthday lunch!!! GRRRR!
Yesterday I worked the whole day, pretty tiring. I was kind of lame and wore brand new white terry pants. I got them so dirty walking around the warehouse and to make matters worse, Moley peed on me the minute I came home :( Oh well. Last night A-Ai came over! Wow, she lost a lot of weight. My sisters and I have all been on a "diet"... pretty strict. I don't think I've lost that much yet. A-Ai was telling me how they all did 600 crunches one night, and she showed me how they do the crunches, they aren't even doing it right! I taught her how to do a "correct" crunch and she could barely do 5!!! Silly, silly people.
Well it's Saturday morning, haven't planned anything for this weekend yet but right now I gotta get ready to stop by work. (There just aren't enough hours in the work week)

I had an awfully uninteresting day at work today, so I won't bore myself trying to think back at all the details. Now that I have all of my entries in one place, I think I'll give a general update of what's going on. I was looking back at some of my old entries and they were all so long, so detailed. What was I thinking sharing all of that in public! So of course I edited most of it before I transferred it here ^.^
Anyhow I got a phone call from my Aunt Rosanna in Toronto. Yona & I are going to see her in August for her wedding in Hawaii! I've never been anywhere interesting in the United States so this should make up for it. I've never been to New York or Florida. I've only been to Kansas, Utah, and Nevada. Yecch. And does Nevada really count? So if that just leaves Kansas and Utah... those have got to be the most boring states out of all 50. Well, maybe Iowa. And Montana.
I want to take more trips. I want to go to San Francisco and go out to eat and walk around Union Square. I want to see Fisherman's Wharf and all the other tourist-y spots that I haven't seen since I was 5. I want to go to New York and walk the streets and shop sample sales and go to the Met. I want to go to Disney World and play in Miami and suntan.
But Hawaii will do for now. At least I'll get to swim with dolphins! I think ever since I saw my first dolphin at Sea World I wanted to swim with dolphins. I just hope it's in a closed-off pool and not in the ocean. I hate ocean water. And I don't want to risk being in the water with any other fish, yecch. I saw a fighting fish at the pet store the other day and it reminded me of my dead fish bones in my old fish tank. Ugh... and the poor skull of my sucker-fish. In case you've never heard, I had an evil gold fish that ate the other 4 fish in its tank. Evil. Flushed that evil-doer down the toilet. Well, actually it JUMPED out of the tank one day... I screamed my head off and my roommate came, swooped it up and threw it in the toilet.
I never ever want to have fish again. Own fish I mean, I will still eat fish. (Who can live without spicy tuna or marinated cod?) I love tanks though, I love pretty, colorful, fish tanks. When I grow old I will have a HUGE fish tank in my mansion, with all sorts of exotic coral and non-fish sea life. Maybe just one sucker fish to keep the glass clean.
