RAOK: Day 2 & 3

I held the door open for at least 10 people yesterday. Only 4 of them said thank you. UGH! But I also hugged somebody and asked them if they needed somebody to talk to. :]

Today IIIIII don’t know what I did but I think it was something nice.

I really need to study. Pulling all A’s ‘FO SHUR’ on these finals. wapow. Diggin’ the playlsit so far under Glee Cast on Pandora.

b*tran out because edwin will get mad knowing i didn’t study.

RAOK: Day 1

I kind of miss having nice, simple posts. I seemed so much more interesting when I was younger. Which is ironic, because I felt like I had less opportunities do things in life that would make my life more interesting and now that I’m an “adult” I’m kind of leading a less exciting life.

I’m so excited that it’s December! I don’t know why but I’m so pumped up for the holidays this year. Thus, it’s RAOK month! RAOK meaning Random Acts Of Kindness. Today I bought Phil Phan [APO brother] a nice cup of Peppermint Mocha. Hopefully by this commitment I’ll also act on the whole blogging consistently thing. Who knows!

AND! I get to visit Kathy+Caleb+JP [aka Joie]. Right after my last final on the 11th I’m flying out to the great land of New Haven, Connecticut to see one new face and some OLD ones. :p

I just recently made a new addition to my room by adding a book shelf. Yee! My room from time to time chooses to look like a mess monster, but I get a little excited inside when I see a clean one! So it just doesn’t happen to often.

Side mental note: cupcakes. vanilla frosting. mini m&ms.

So my Big came home these past two weeks and I’ve just been chillin’/taken care of him. Haha. Thanksgiving was good! I mostly had roast beef and it was delicious. Beef > Turkey hands down. Turkey makes me knock out so freaking quickly. Savory delicious medium rare beef makes my mouth water more than a turkey could!

On my wall there are 3 wall frames that say Live – Laugh – Love. Edwin and I were trying to decide which pictures were best and I think these are the final three.

Live

i forgot what it was. fail!

Laugh

Love

I only looked at Facebook ones so there are probably better choices. Oh well!

Hmm. So right now I should be working on my extra credit for Sociology of Law. Instead, I’m doing this and watching CSI: NY. By the way, I LOVE HAVING A DVR. What I don’t like is living in Irvine forces me to choose Cox Cable. Cox Cable then forces me to pay $20 extra. It kind of feels worthwhile but my pocket sure feels a hole growing.

Lalala. What a lot of random thoughts. I should start my extra credit though. Oye!!

hmm. i wonder if it’s more fun // easier to vlog than blog! okay blog time out. happy december 1st!!

voice of a whispering man

I swear that it feels like Thai-An has been sick for MONTHS and it’s finally catched up to me. An was sick. Thai-An has been sick. Makes sense that I would. I would consider this Day 6 of illness and now I’ve lost my voice. I can tell you, it sucks.

So this past Sunday I went to Lynda Nguyen’s sister house [old coworker] for her bridal shower! Much fun. Lots of kinky stuff. Cute babies. It’s nice to see old coworkers. Saving the date for the 21st of November!

ALRIGHT! So any interesting news lately. I’ve just taken a bunch of midterms recently. Not too much fun. Ninjah knows how I do!

Edwin and I decided this year that we should dress up Ninjah! There were just too many cute ideas to go on. Ninjah Pirate. Ninjah Boat. Ninjah Crab. The choices were endless! There wasn’t much of a theme we could do all together since I was a murdering widow, and Edwin the dececased, so we went to go look for cheap, great stuff at Target. Low and behold, we did!

Isn’t she the cutest turtle ever! Our favorite Ninjah Turtle

So this past Halloween I got sick and didn’t get a chance to do anything but sleep for about 12 hours. I did get a chance to exploit Ninjah at the District, which totally freaked her out, (poor girl) with Annieman, Sean and Ike! Ike was a hot hot hot jalapeno. All very cute things. The night before Joey was having a Halloween Bash! So I had bought a cheap black dress from the Thrift Store and Edwin just used one of his many white shirts for THIS!

When Edwin was designing his attire, I liked to remind him that if I really did kill him, I would so stab him more times than that. And yes, those are plastic knives.

I don’t think anything too epic happened these past couple of weeks. I’m ready for the holidays though. Just working, paying for bills, doing interviews with pledges in AphiO, roomies, Edwinjah, school, studying and etc. I am happy that Richie [my big] is coming back from Arizona! He’s been doing a Masters Program at a pretty decent Dental school and after 20 midterms and a set of finals, he’s coming back! :]

peace ouuuuut

because i can be a commited person at 21

Hello again!

After much, much, much delay .. i’ve decided to blog. It’s always one of those epiphanies I get during one of my 3 hour night classes to rant on the web. After learning the phenomenom that is blogging, I regret not doing it more these past three years. So, here it begins, the recap of what I’ve done since high school.

Present: Right now I’m in Professor Currie’s Crime & Pubic Policy class not listening. It’s going to be a pain in my ass to re-listen to my recorder .. which of course is not fault but my own. You should see my notes. I’ll be a dedicated student typing away all of his knowledge and then it’ll say 8:32 – definitely wasn’t listening for the past 10 minutes. A little reminder for my recorder I guess. Today I had TGIF with the Korexican [Edwin, my boyfriend!] because we got two free Jack Daniels burger. Very nice. Really heavy. But they have the number of calories next to each item! I don’t know why I made that sound exciting.

Recent past: This past September I moved into the Woodbridge area of Irvine with two awesome girls named Thai-An Dao and An Nguyen. Thai-An and I always like to say that we’ve known each other since diapers. We found An randomly on a street corner. Kind of. Annie and Kathy just recently had two baby boys = I am twice the auntie! Very exciting. Very baby boomage for me. :] I’m still figuring out flight situations to get my butt over Connecticut for a very Maskell Thanksgiving!

It’s about 24 hours since I’ve actually started this post. I’m sitting here half-watching the Hills and recapping how AMAZING it was not to go to work and think about work things or bills and relax in our less than slightly sunny weather in Cali and just being a student. Last Spring I joined a co-ed community service Fraternity called  Alpha Phi Omega and now being the next term, I get to enjoy being on the other side as an active and interview people with POOWWER! Or not. But more or less, I’m meeting these kids that are two or three years younger than me and it’s weird. They’re all so very anxious.

Anyways, as a fourth year undergraduate at UCI, I’d say I have accomplished as much as my transcipt needed to look at this point. I’ve pretty much flown by UCI as a CLS major and I have not done some of the things that I have wanted to. Like truly understanding another language. Going to another country. Dominate the school somehow. Meh.

So I’ve been taunting myself by looking at programs to teach English in another country, or the potential study abroad. But the timing is just not right anymore, and I’m trying decide what next opportunity will take me to the next step in my life. Seeing that TEFL will draw me to pay 5 grand for 2 months and without a job during that time since it’s a 9-3, I am seriously looking towards the PeaceCorps. Exciting!

Overall, I am still blessed with food and water that gets on the table and a roof over my head. I am loved and love many others in my life and have an amazing dog named Ninjah! Hopefully posts will get better in its content and life will get a litle more interesting.

HI

this is lame.

i am lame.

this still continues to be lame.

lamage.

deviance

i’m in class right now without any idea what my professor is talking about. there are about 400 people in the class and the man is just talking, while everyone is typing away on facebook, myspace, or who knows what.

but i’m COMPLETELY stoked because i just scored a rockin’ grade. besides the rockin’ grade, the TA also noted that they’re adding 10 more points .. so i have an above and beyond grade which is so cool because i haven’t had anything over 100% since .. middle school! Sweetness!

I don’t know if anyone noticed, besides Edwin at least, that my site got shut down because Charles thought it would be funny to see how long it took me to notice. harhar, it was slightly funny. I’d write in here more but it seems I’m always so packed in my schedule and too lazy to write at night. AND, I find my page a bit ugly. So as soon as I whip out some html skills or something — more posts to come? I’m very disappointed inmyself for deleting those xanga posts I had as an angsty 13 year old. The days I felt I had something to vigorously offer the world.. I think..because I’d like to read them agian. I see my roomie every now and then write in her journal and get jealous of that because I don’t have the patience to write out everything.

Ooof! I just wanted to post because I missed it. Blogging has changed so much. Not really. :] WELL! Hope everyone is having a nice, nice twelth of November.

Off to DAVIS!

So I’m simultaneously packing, cleaning, organizing, and on the net. I must be talented!

At the end of summer feels more of a fresh start than any new year for me. Hopefully more things will change for the better for the school year, work year, and me year.

Rach, here I come!

P.S. Hi, Edwin. NinjAAAAAAh

yearaversary

mmm.

So, I have seriously neglected this transverse page and all of my pent up blog emotions. So sad.

However, the good news is, I am scarcely online! Which is a good thing in terms of not being so attached to my computer, or AIM, or facebook, or websurfing.

But sometimes I am just out of the loops. I don’t know. My computer heats up my room pretty quickly, so I try avoiding it. And on days that I do use my comooter, I probably use it for half an hour tops now and then leave it on for the rest of the day. (Not so good for the Annieman and S.kao!

Bonnie is all grown up now and it’s weird. Still weird. After one year at UCI, it’s like high school or K-12 never happened. I guess it’s normal to adapt and adjust so quickly to different lifestyles after you give it a shot. Or maybe it’s easier to embrace change than dwell on it. I don’t know.

Yet, I felt that today of all days, where I am hopelessly doing nothing on the computer, was a good time to blog. I am fine, I am well. The beginning of my summer I can say we nothing more than useless, as I made myself comfy in the TranKao-KaoTran home. After many days/weeks of finding a suitable job, Wells Fargo was nice enough to give me a job and it feels like I never did experience boredom. But all I do is go to work, come home and watch House, eat/sleep..and yada. I miss San Diego. I miss SD comfort. But mostly I miss my amigos because they’re all in one spot and I’m not. :[ Loneliness is a rather torturing emotion, but the ew makes up for it.

Uhm. Time for sleep!

ahem.

hello world.
