hahahaha my last entry was so dramatic..
well i was just really shocked this morning. i really felt like my life was threatened!






i don't know if this is God's test, and see if i can handle it, or this is God's warning and telling me this isn't where i should be. i really feel like i'm walking on eggshells right now. with some people, it's hard because i feel like i was doing nothing wrong and all of a sudden they explode outta nowhere. it's really scary. i wish people were just more honest with me. if you have a problem, tell me! don't let it build up so you explode!



anyway......i also hung out with chisako and alex today. ate korean food in jackson heights. it was really good to see some familar faces again...
wow i'm scared of one of my roommates. like i think she is crazy...
i haven't met her yet but i think she already hates me.
so i closed one of the windows last night and this morning she freaking flipped out about it and she kept banging my wall and throwing things at it. and screamed at me.
i yelled 'sorry... please don't be mad!" but i think that made her madder..................................... ahhhhhhhh! like seirously ihate it when people are mad at me and i don't know it. and i seriously feel like my life is in danger.. lol.
dudeee seriously i never felt so uncomfortable in my life.
i'm seriously going to move outta here as soon as possible...
it's unforunate cus the neighborhood isn't that bad and the rent is cheap.

LOL check this out.
i remembered after 8 mile "rap battles" went on a lot during middle school.
me and people from church had our "rap battles" in aol chatrooms. i used to have some saved but it's lost somewhere... i would do anything to see em again.
those were the days.... ahahahhahaha.

"you have the whole world in your hands"

- my mom this morning.

growing up i've always wanted my mom to be proud of me. before i was really bad at expressing my feelings towards her. so to show my appreciation and love to my mom i would show it through my eating habits. lol. i told these stories so many times to my friends, but when i was little, i would always try so hard to impress her by eating all her food until there wasn't a drop left. i would eat apples to the core til it turned brown, watermelon til u could only see the green part, i even ate a whole box of kiwis for her! muhaha.
if you know me now you'll know that food is my pride. if i don't finish all my food, i feel like failure. loll. i guess this is why i'm so chubby!

she also told me not to worry bout school and if i didn't want to go then i didn't have to. i guess she is trying to put me at ease. but i really do want to go to school. i just don't know what i want to do, that's the problem. i want to try to find my passion first before committing to anything.
i'm not only going to school just to make her happy, i want to go to make her proud of me. and also i need to, for myself. if i really want my own independence i need to get a career, i can't work at red mango forever! :b

after speaking to her, i feel like i can sleep easy now.
speaking of sleep, i am getting more tired by the minute. going to bed early tonight. goodnight :)



FINALLY GOT A HAIRCUTTT
found this guy on yelp who cuts hair from his apt in the east village. he is probably one of the most coolest and chill people i've ever met. i wanted to take pics but my battery died on me. he was really nice and told me to just come back for free bang trim and take a pic then. sweeett.
he also does music on the side, check him out!

i love getting haircuts because i love it when people touch my hair gently. (does that sound creepy?!) lol. it is so relaxing :D

haha yeah....
anyways... i feel really happy right now because i just got a very enoucraging and unexpected message from someone who i've always respected but haven't talked to in a long time. cannot thank this person enough. like i said i'm so bad at showing my appreciation. but yeah. i'm very grateful and feel more hopeful. :D

i woke up from the scariest dream ever.
woman screamed in my face and the ground started to tremble. i felt my whole body trembling.
and she said something like why did you do that you think you can get away with that?

HAS THE WHOLE WORLD GONE INSANE? OR AM I THE CRAZY ONE?!

"yes joyce you are the crazy one"

it's only been two weeks into the new year and i've already have had enough of it. (not really...) it's just that things are changing and moving so fast that i don't know what to do with myself. i have absoultely no clue how i feel right now.

people really confuse me though. they like to use me and toy with me. if i were to say everything that is on my mind then i think you'd understand me.

i cannot sleep.

today i walked aimlessly around greenwich village. i think that is my favorite neighborhood in manhattan. it's so chill there. it rained today... i wonder how the weather is over there in chicago. freezing?!
yeah and went back home and ate junk food and watched couple movies i borrowed from a coworker. girl interrupted and notes on a scandal. loved them both! acting was great in both. but they both kinda left me feeling sad. haha.
so i've mentioned before but i swear i grew up living in a box. and it's not like my parents were overprotective or i was sheltered growing up or anything. i guess i made myself that way. so i don't know a lot about a lot of things. so i'm slowly trying to learn more about stuff. i'm trying to read more and watch more movies, and listen to more music. yeah... so if you guys recommend me anything, tell me! i'm open to anything really. after i get my paycheck i think i wanna sign up for classes too. not for school but for making hobbies. i'm thinking about signing up for a cooking class or sewing class. something i think i would enjoy doing. or maybe start an instrument? i kinda want to start playing cello again! but i think it might be hard, because i wouldn't be able to practice. haha but we will see! i don't where this motivation is coming from but i suddenly feel so inspired to do stuff... i guess i'm getting old. (not really but i feel like it :b)

dreams

ever since two years ago i kept having dreams where my teeth fell out. last night i had same dream again. it always felt so real, i actually felt my teeth crumbling outta my mouth. and supposedly it means something really bad according to korean superstition. but i really didn't wanna believe that so i reserached it up today on google. and aaccording to dreammoods.com it's a common dream. one of the reasons could be because of self consciousness about appearance, or lack of power in a current situation where you feel like your voice isn't being heard. and i guess i do agree. haha...
dreams are funny... i wish i can get my dreams analyzed everynight.

also while on the site found some interesting facts. thought i'd share it here :)

1. One-third of your lives is spent sleeping.
2. In an average lifetime, you would have spent a total of about six years of it dreaming. That is more than 2,100 days spent in a different realm!
3. Dreams have been here as long as mankind. Back in the Roman Era, striking and significant dreams were submitted to the Senate for analysis and interpretation.
4. Everybody dreams. EVERYBODY! Simply because you do not remember your dream does not mean that you do not dream. In fact, you have several dreams during a normal night of sleep.
5. Dreams are indispensable. A lack of dream activity can mean protein deficiency or a personality disorder.
6. On average, you can dream anywhere from one or two hours every night. Moreover, you can have four to seven dreams in one night.
7. Blind people do dream. Whether visual images appear in their dream depends on whether they were blind at birth or became blind later in life. But vision is not the only sense that constitutes a dream. Sounds, tactility, and smell become hypersensitive for the blind and their dreams are based on these senses.
8. Five minutes after the end of the dream, half the content is forgotten. After ten minutes, 90% is lost.
9. The word dream stems from the Middle English word, dreme which means "joy" and "music".
10. Men tend to dream more about other men, while women dream equally about men and women.
11. Studies have shown that your brain waves are more active when you are dreaming than when we are awake.
12. Dreamers who are awakened right after REM sleep, are able to recall their dreams more vividly than those who slept through the night until morning.
13. Physiologically speaking, researchers found that during dreaming REM sleep, males experience erections and females experience increased vaginal blood flow - no matter what the content of the dream. In fact, "wet dreams" may not necessarily coincide with overtly sexual dream content.
14. People who are giving up smoking have longer and more intense dreams.
15. Toddlers do not dream about themselves. They do not appear in their own dreams until the age of 3 or 4.
16. If you are snoring, then you cannot be dreaming.
17. Nightmares are common in children, typically beginning at around age 3 and occurring up to age 7-8.
18. In a poll, 67% of Americans have experienced Deja Vu in their dreams, occurring more often in females than males.
19. Around 3% of adults suffer from sleep apnea. This treatable condition leads to unexplained tiredness and inefficiency.
20. Research has shown that the house is the most common setting for dreams.
21. It is very normal for males to experience an erection during the REM stage of sleep, even when they are not dreaming anything of a sexual nature.
22. The original meaning of the word "nightmare" was a female spirit who besets people at night while they sleep.

interesting right?
arite well, that is all for now...good afternoon!

i don't wanna dwell on something that was meaningless.

Monday, January 4, 2010

helloz!
just woke up from the longest nap ever. after moving back and forth from manhattan to queens with heavy luggage it was really tiring (and i still have more luggage :b), didn't feel it until this morning. my body feels like crap... i feel like i have bruises all over... :( but after the nap i feel a lot better i guess.
today i had to work, i started working at red mango. the system is different, from the pos/register, to the way they serve the yogurt and stuff. but i am getting the hang of it i guess! so far everybody has been really nice and patient with me... hahaha. i hate being the new person!

ohh and i have a new favorite indian take out place. i used to love indian bread co but sadly it closed down, and then my friend introduced me to this place called kashmir. their chicken & rice is so good... and today i got their vegetable somosa... good stuff!!!
anyways... i'm also dehydrated, been drinking so much liquid but i'm still thirsty.

oh i finally got to upload pictures!
thanks to JANICE, LAUREN, BRIAN, AND SOMANG i now have my very own digital camera. seriously thank you sososo much, because of you guys i can take pictures without having to waste film or scanning em.
but i've been really bad at taking pictures though... i carry around a lot of stuff and i hate stopping and looking through my bag just to take a picture. but i won't be lazy next time and take some more!


here's a little preview though...
so my friend also took me to this bead shop and they have a bunch of beads and necklace charms and pendants for super cheap!
so i bought a couple charms and a chain and she put it together for me :)



haha cute right?

and my new obsession: NUTELLA <3

yes i really took apicture of my nutella... lol

alright that's all for now. i got my mini laptop fixed! and the screen is so small uploading pictures is a pain...
so more laters.
shout out to brad for reading this stupid thing! lol :)

OH and just to let u guys know... (if you guys still even read this...) my phone is weird and doesn't get good reception. so if u called and i didn't pick up, i wasn't ignoring u! oh also it might be because i'm at work or sleeping too haha. so yea just leave a voicemessage or text, cus i don't see missed calls. alright... goodnight!

Sunday, January 3, 2010

i love how something so little can make me so happy.
i bought a jar of nutella and some bread today, i finished all my bread and i'm almost done with my nutella already lol.
today was very cold in new york, i can't imagine how cold it is over there in chicago.
i ran a lotta errands today. didn't think a flashlight would be necessity but it is! i guess my roommate wants to save electricity or something...so far i haven't seen a light turn on since i moved in. speaking of my roommate, she is like the cutest woman ever. she is i'm guessing in her 30's-40's (i don't know i'm bad at guessing age) she's chinese and can't speak english that well, but she is probably the nicest lady ever. she's so flexible with paying the rent, and is always willing to help me out if i need any. she drew me a map of the area, and i could tell she put a lot of effort into it hahaha. and today i saw her on the train so we sat together and talked. even though her english is pretty broken, i still understood her. she kinda reminds me of my mom. so calm, understanding and fragile? i don't know... i can't explain.
anyway... enough rambling. i have to admit i was feeling blue last night but i feel so much better now.
alright... i'll definitely post pictures in my next post, i promise!
now that i know i have readers i wanted to post better stuff but i guess i'm writing more boring things. lol... so sorry!
arite... GOODNIGHT! :)

new year, new life

i really hate to admit it but i realy do miss naperville... i knew i shoulda left earlier when i had the chance before i got too emotionally attached!!! lol.

the past week i felt emotionless (didn't even cry! rn't you guys proud? i am like the biggest cry baby lol) but today it just hit me. i don't know why... literally just woke up feeling sad.
i have such bad timing for everything... but i think this is just a phase and i'll get over it. i usually always do.
gah... i really hate starting all over but i think it'll be worth it... right? someone reassure me!
i mean i'm lucky enough to even get a job and a room right away. not ideal for long term but it's a start :)
i feel hopeful... it's just i don't want to say goodbye to my naperville life i guess. i've realized now how important family and friends are... so don't forget me guys! and please keep in touch... i have to admit i am bad at keeping in touch. so feel free to contact me. i am just an email/phone call/text away. :)

anyways... it's early... 6 am here. i am leaving my temporary place i've been staying at and moving to woodhaven/elmhurst.
my plans? honestly i came with no plans but i've decided that i stay in woodhaven for no more than a year and save up money, and then hopefully start school in the fall and get my own place in a nicer area. that would be so awesome if that works out that way...... but who knows what will happen next. but i guess that's what makes life more exciting, right? haha.

i'm so lame....
arite... that is all...................byebye :o)
