It's been almost two years since I made an entry in my livejournal. I'm not sure yet if I'll start making this a regular trend, but I really need to get something off my chest (as Facebook or MySpace isn't quite helping, at all). The last time I wrote, it was a couple months before the official break-up of Alex and I. Since then, I haven't ( Read more... )

There's a little less than a week left until Alex goes off to grad school in Texas, and I can't help but take my life into perspective. I just got out of a small meeting with the department director, who I had been told was calling certain people into his office to give them raises due to salary adjustment. Some workers would get it, some wouldn' ( Read more... )

For all of those who didn't read my last entry, let me start it off by saying that Mrytle Beach sucks something hardcore. Alright, now I can leave that behind and go into the only truly spontaneous and awesome time in the last 1.5 weeks. The night before Diego and I were supposed to fly out to S.Carolina, we decided to go out and explore the ( Read more... )

Well, I'm back at work (dammit!) in the bay area (fuck yes!) and feeling like I'm back in civilization. My week-long trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina was over two days ago, and I can't say that it was the best vacation ever...by any measure of the word. Luckily, today at work is realtively smooth and full, and I should be out of here at the ( Read more... )

Another livejournal update, long overdue, but I'm saving the ones I think are the most memorable for an entry. Besides, today's workday is incredibly long and boring, mostly because I finished my work at 1pm, and have to find some way to kill the next 3.5 hours. I already took a 2-hour lunch break, to which I used to see Ghost Rider at the Union ( Read more... )

I can say with confidence that after these next 4 days are over, I will have officially re-joined the human race. The GRE general exam is this monday, to which I'm taking the day off work to take in San Francisco. I've been studying off and on for it, since it doesn't seem to be one of those tests that you can improve too much on, unless you've ( Read more... )

Praise the lord, it's a 3-day work week for me! Monday was a paid holiday, but I swear my company is the only one in the world who didn't get a whole week off after Xmas. At least there was a 4-day weekend, but it flew by so fast with the Vegas trip and other family obligations. But tomorrow is the main part of Alex's birthday present, and I'm ( Read more... )

It's a Friday afternoon, I just got paid, and the project I'm working on is going 3hrs ahead of schedule...I rule. After work, a couple of co-workers and I are going to this Korean BBQ place in Sunnyvale, to sufficiently stuff ourselves on the all-you-can-eat buffet for $22. A little expensive, but I'm not planning on having a crazy weekend ( Read more... )

Fuck yes, son...the subject GRE's are over!! I'm so glad that a little bit of stress has been deleted from my life, even though now I have to focus on studying for the general GRE, doing my personal statement, getting my letters of recommendation, and paying for all those damn application fees. It's all good, though, because no test will ever be ( Read more... )

This will probably be the only free time I have in the next few weeks, where I won't feel guilty about spending some time online. Right now I'm typing with a huge band-aid on my left pinky, and I damn near sliced off the edge near my nail yesterday at work. I was washing a glass vessel when it slipped and broke about two inches from my hand. ( Read more... )
