Time

“Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.”
~ Harvey MacKay

Time passes by at an uncomfortable speed for me. There's so much I wanna do, yet I don't do. There's so much I wanna become, yet I don't put in time to become "that". I'm utterly disappointed in myself. I promise I will change. I promise I will take steps in spending my time more wisely. I need to hold myself accountable.

I'm the type of person who always misses the old days; who always ponders about the future. What I don't do is focus on the present. I got to start focusing on the present. I got to start working harder, putting more effort in what I do, and really start living every day to the fullest.

cheering up dinner

today i decided to splurge a little on my dinner. for the past few days i have been very stressed and overwhelmed with all the work i have to do within the next two weeks. soo little time to do soo much stuff. basically i have been eating random crap for the past few days; bags of ramen, chips, jellybeans, honey roasted peanuts, etc. i wanted to cheer myself up through today's dinner, hoping it will motivate me to continue pushing on and working hard. it did! haha
you're probably wondering what i ate exactly.

ridiculousness

my faith in Oshio, a local asian restaurant, was shattered when i saw a mexican worker opening up a bag of shin ramyun noodles in the kitchen. little did he know i could see what goes on in the kitchen from the seat i was in.

i knew right at that moment the ramen i ordered 2 minutes ago for $6.55 was gonna be a huge disappointment.
indeed it was. the description on the menu sounded soo yummy; hot spicy broth with egg and SQUID. but the bowl i got had diluted soup, overcooked egg and 4 pieces of squid that was around 1 cm in diameter and 2 mm in height.

it was basically 1 of this cut into 4 pieces.


nvr been to a restaurant with owners cheap to this extent. they are lucky their restaurant is a 30 sec walk from campus.

current obsession: snails & orange bell peppers

orange bell peppers became my new favorite snack when it went on sale last week.
it's soo fresh, sweet, juicy, and tasty.
orange bell peppers pwns all other colors because it's the sweetest and contains the most vitamin C and A.
random tip: tastes extra good dipped in ranch =)



today i became really fascinated with this snail. on my way walking back home on a rainy, gloomy afternoon i saw this snail crawling. it caught my attention instantly cuz it was in the middle of the path and its body was so huge. it was my first time giving full undivided attention to a snail =O i had a lot of fun just stopping everything, bending down, and watching the snail slowly crawl. it cleared my mind from thinking about school and my super duper long list of things to do.
i gotta say i had an awesome alone time with a very special snail. haha

sum 41-motivation

i have been lacking motivation these days. and a certain somebody has been calling me out on that. >.<


What's the difference of never knowing at all?
When every step I take is always too small.
Maybe it's just something I can't admit but lately,
I feel like I don't give a shit.

Motivation such an aggravation,
Accusations don't know how to take them.
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it.
Concentration's never hard to brake it.
Situation never what you want it to be.

What's the point of never making mistakes?
Self-indulgence is such a hard habit to brake.
It's all just a waste of time in the end.
I don't care so why should I even pretend.

Nothing's new, everything's the same.
It keeps on dragging me down, it's getting kind of lame.
I'm falling further behind, there's nothing to explain.
No matter what you say nothing 's gonna change my mind.

Can't pretend on doubt until the end.
It seems like leaving friends has become
This years trend and though I can't pretend.
It's not the same but who's to blame,
For all those stupid things I never said.

Motivation such an aggravation,
Accusations don't know how to take them.
Inspiration's getting hard to fake it.
Concentration's never hard to brake it.
Situation never what you want it to be.

Motivation such an aggravation,
Accusations don't know how to take them.

Concentration's never hard to brake it.

this song pretty much sums up how i feel a lot of times

eek a rat!

i abhor rats with passion, they make me feel extremely extremely disgusted. they also make me literally shudder with disgust and fear. i think it's something to do with their long naked tails, because i'm totally cool with hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. i find them super cute, adorable, and lovable. the only rat i'm cool with are animated ones such as ratatouille, pinky, and the brain. ^_^

these rats are my homies



rat tails are not my homies



in 3rd grade i found out that the mere presence of a rat flusters me greatly. it was an afternoon after school. i was chilling at home playing mancala by myself. i was laying on the floor playing, suddenly i saw a rat strolling down the hallway in front of me. it took me awhile to process exactly what just happened. then i realized, OMFG there's a rat in the house. the rat was dark, dirty looking, and had that despicably long hard-looking tail...ugh. i ran over to my mom and yelled at her to do something. she's like calm down, the rat will go outside to it's home, so stop worrying girll. of course i didn't believe her cuz i was a skeptical and SMART kid. i couldn't stop thinking about the rat everyday, wondering where it was. i was scared to walk on the floor. i would tip toe and walk everywhere in the house, hoping that it would decrease my chance of stepping on where the rat has stepped on before. when i slept, i would tuck my blanket under me super tightly, scared that if i let the blanket hang off the side, the rat would brush its germs on the blanket or climb into bed to sleep with me.
but eventually after a long time i stopped thinking about the rat. from later encounterings with rats i found that i always become mentally and physically paralyzed when i see a rat.
