It's true, I'm finally here at UCLA. Second night here at Orientation and I am feeling quite lonely but I guess this is just part and parcel of being an international student ( Read more... )

I feel quite bad abandoning this journal for 2 months but there have been so many things happening lately, I don't even think about finding time to pen my thoughts down. Picking up where I left off the last post, my relief work is finally ending next week. I'm so excited that I don't feel sad to leave. Teaching's just not my thing. I just can't ( Read more... )

Term 2 is finally over. As much as I want this break from my teaching duty, I also can't wait for it to be over so I know I'm one month closer to where I'm supposed to be - Los Angeles. I sound like I'm headed to Hollywood to become a star but nay, my dreams ain't that big. I just want a fresh start to my life when it comes to college ( Read more... )

Wait for us.

The last few weeks flew by so quickly I didn't even have time to update this journal. Actually that's a lie; I did have the time but I was spending it on the net and on my american television shows ( Read more... )

So pleasantly surprised when I saw the email from U-Wisconsin-Madison yesterday! Anyway, I got accepted into the school and that really made my day. Regardless of the outcome of UCLA, I know I'm US-bound (if nothing goes wrong with my scholarship)! I'm already fantasizing about my life in the states and I REALLY CANNOT WAIT TO START ( Read more... )

I like how time passes quickly nowadays at work. Just this last week, I was so busy handling shipment I had my lunch at 3pm and ended my work at 7.30pm instead of the supposed 5pm. News of my cessation as a full-timer somehow got circulated and I'm getting questioned on the reasons behind my choice and my future ahead. Pretty weird but I'm already ( Read more... )

Where do I even start? 3 weeks ago, I was contemplating whether I should convert to a full time impact at Abercrombie & Fitch or just be happy with the time and freedom that comes with the part time job. In the end, I decided to go with the former because of the money and well, my friend convinced me it will be a good way to make time go faster ( Read more... )

I know it probably sounds bad, but I would not mind if some people just disappeared completely from my life. Not that I hate them; it's just that with them around, I know I'll never be happy.

So one day when they're finally gone, will I feel sad? Yes. But more importantly, I think I'll finally be relieved.

Usually I wouldn't mind not celebrating Christmas but this year, maybe because for once I'm not tied down by NS or the thought of having to do NS, I realize I really, really want the real deal - y'know the turkey, log cakes, presents, wool sweaters and the likes. But guess what, my friends are not free to celebrate together, so I crazily signed up ( Read more... )
