closer
i just watched closer...& it's just proof of my entry about lying in relationships...

i don't even really know what to say...i know it was a good movie but in a weird way i was kinda just eh-ed by it...

maybe because i know how true it is...who knows

lying does no one good

everyone besides larry the doctor was a horrible person in that movie...

it's just so freaking hypocritical how people can be...

in the scene of alice & dan's break up she asked him "what if i fell in love with someone else?" he answered "i'd be jealous"

& that re-rung a bell...
i asked the same exact question
& i received the same exact answer

although the movie was extreme as all movies are...for me it had a strange "little black book" quality to it as i watched it...it made me relive some moments...so i know the movie was realistic because i was relating but at the same time i hated reliving those moments of my life...

i really need to stop writing about this crap cuz i never think about it during the day & i come home to this blog & i keep reminding myself...it's pretty retarded

& so i end the self pity....for now

quotes
everyday i hear the funniest stuff & i always remember later on & laugh to myself...or i hear, laugh, & forget...so i decided i'm gonna resolve the latter by writing down about a quote a day to remind me of all the little things that make up my life...

today in PE
other guy: are you gonna use this? *points to bench*
charles: yea i was gonna strip
other guy: do you need help?
charles: nah they're *points to me & the other girl* they're gonna strip for me

(in case you don't know we were referring to stripping the bar)

at the moment all i remember something i always sort of remember & laugh about is in the first IIE (Institute for Industrial Engineers) general meeting this year we were voting on which companies we wanted to visit...& google got more votes than yahoo
doug: why is yahoo more popular than google?
jamie: they've only been asking themselves the same thing for the past 2 years

stay tuned for more!

breaking the cycle
ok so i just looked at my blog & i realized that every single one has had something about boys/relationships/love for the past month or so...

so i will now break the cycle w/ this entry

my back hurts

i was thinking of going back to funky door in the summer or next semester...i kinda liked it...i made me feel really accomplished afterwards even though each class ended up being like 3 hrs w/ shower & walk...haven't decided...besides i have coupons

since chris will found out what his package is soon anyways & i know he won't read this before he gets it...(i guess this could go on cooking blog too but whatever)
for his bday i ordered him a (newly released) le creuset reversible square grill/griddle (the rectangle one is 10 lbs & i was worried that'd be a problem for the plane ride home) & an oil mister & tongs...i want them all...:P
& on saturday morning i ran around like a mad women because i had no car & i wanted to finish up his berkeley in a box present...
last week i went to farmer's market & i bought him frog hollow peach chutney (i wanted peach related cuz frog hollow peaches are like canned but in real form sooo good) & a blond balsamic (white) from a company from napa..i tried like 5 before i choose that one...it was yummy....so saturday i had to walk to cheeseboard...which i mean was worth it but it was kinda time-consuming...i stopped at phoeniox pasifico for a strawberry meyer lemon scone...andronico's to get some scharffen berger chocolate covered coffee beans (the bar seemed too regular) & then at cheeseboard i bought him a chocolate loaf (cuz we always meant to try it), cheese bun (of course, their signature one), & chocolate thing, & one more thing? i think provolone bun...chanda had gone to acme the day before so she got me the italian batard? i think it's called & the herb slab...& that was all stuffed into a box & sent off after standing in line for over an hr at the post office:P
hmm chris is coming back in may for his mom's wedding..yay! hanging out & pigging out! mmm

it's kinda weird because i have not "pigged out" in a really really long time...& i kinda don't miss it...& this is coming from a food fanatic...i think the food poisoning contributed to this...

i guess i haven't eaten at anywhere expensive either

i've actually been trying more places & expanding my scope since this job since it off where i normally never go...

& i've really taken to going to the farmer's market even if i get nothing...it's expensive but eh...

i know most of these things should go on my cooking blog but i'm too lazy to switch now that i've written it here hahha

hmm...so a classmate asked me friday if i had a company...(i think it's cuz she worked at zeezee so i'm sure farooq told her) & if i have the chance this summer i really want to do it..since my dad is back i'll ask for his help w/ all the legal stuff...i want a registered name & really be a company...that'd be sweet....i'd be very proud of myself

in regards to motorcycle stuff...i think i will hold off...my parents would never allow it & it just feeds into my theory of how i will die in a freak accident...i can definitely seeing myself pulling something ditzy (i do all the time) & it will be the death of me...literally...it's unreasonable for the moment too...

for ieor yearbook i wrote up a set of questions & as i was interviewing marco he kept asking me well how would you answer & i suddenly felt bad cuz i don't know...

one was:
if you could have 3 wishes, what would they be & why?

i still kinda remember answering that when i was little...
1. some sort of money
2. some sort of peaceful gesture
3. a puppy

gawd were things simple then or what

i think all the things i'd ask for now are not material...& i guess that means i've matured? at least that's what i'll tell myself...

ok i really tired now....no more forced writing

freaking out
this is be a random hodgepodge of things that have been running through my head or experiencing hmm aka like all my other blog entries...

i was sitting in 161 the other day thinking to myself...as i saw someone do something kinda embarrassing...i always seem to catch those funnyt hings people don't think i see...then a second later i realized how stupid that sounded...if i didn't catch them i wouldn't even have known they happened meaning of course i "always seem to see them" in my eyes

every little thing if not scheduled in my busy life at the moment is freaking me out...

work has gone into a dip type situation...i think the president has been super stressed...so he's not mean but he's also not nice to me so much anymore...i'm kind of just expected to do things now...the extra i do it not extra anymore...& it's feeling more & more like an obligation...& i hate that feeling...

it might be from the stress too though...
i have too much on my plate...
i'm slowly going crazy..
i feel myself getting stupider...i even wondered for a moment how the hell i got into berkeley today
it's really bothering me but i guess at least i'm living in the now...& things are different than they used to me...

which brings me to my next topic

chanda told me what she deemed "a sad story" yesterday...it was regarding a friend's friend...

the basic jist of the story was that...

her bf went to pick up his ex from the airport
the girl asked what if she wants to go to dinner then what?
bf says he'll say he ate already
he took a long time so she called him & he said yea we're at a burger place
she gets mad & just hangs up on him
he comes home & tells her that he didn't order anything...the ex's coworker came yada yada yada
i forget why but she sees a paper on her chair & so she looks & sees a receipt to a really really nice restaurant in berkeley
she wakes him up to ask him what it is
he tells her oh yea we ended up going there w/ the coworker blah blah blah only she ate...she had an appetizer, entree, & dessert
so she decides to call this restaurant & ask what "she ordered" & finds out he DID order & they didn't even have the things he said they had
she gives him another chance to tell the truth & he kept lying
she hasn't decided what to do...sup'dly she wants to stick around for revenge cuz i guess he probably pulls that kinda shit all the time...

as chanda told me this story...
i started remembering
i had kind of forgotten...
the pain things like that bring
all i said to chanda during was "that's how dom was" cuz it was so deja vu....
& at the end i told her "what's the point...revenge...in the end it's just better to get out of that situation...it's not worth it...it's not worth that pain"

i know...in anger that's what everyone seems to want...revenge...

but when you step away...at least when i step away...you just want to step out the better person...& the best thing to do is to just stop w/ the acting & move on...there's no point...

if the point of such revenge is for them to understand how much they hurt you...don't you think they would've just not lied to prevent that?

i'm not saying they don't care about you...but there is something about two people involved that just don't match up...

once the trust is gone...it's gone

i learned that the hard way...there's no use in sticking around

chanda kept saying "i can't imagine that i can't imagine that...if aaron did that to me...blah blah blah"

& that's the funny thing...i always told her she had it good...& she never understood what i had been through & here's the proof when you separate the people from the situation...she never will understand that kind of pain...

hell no one will until you feel it

i guess it just amazes me what great lengths people take to lie....when in the end the truth never escapes my grasp...

& the sad thing is...i always seem to end up w/ those jerks...& that whole attraction to bad boys thing doesn't work cuz most of the time they like me first & then i like them after they pursue me...

i guess one good thing about being so busy is i have no time to think about this kinda stuff

i always surprise myself w/ how much i can suppress in my memory...

what worries me though is if i think about it & i remember...i can get very very angry at times (depending on what i remember)...& it proves to me that things aren't solved are they..they're just shoved in the back...i guess that's only the case w/ dom..ken is over & done w/...

sometimes i can't believe how i even kept up w/ such shit...

& it was always the same damn shit

he's lie or omit the truth (newsflash: same thing as lying people...)
(eg, what'd you do this weekend? said: oh nothing worked a bit was really busy; truth: hung out w/ ex girlfriend who slept over we went shopping blah blah blah)(eg, while visiting me...aww why are you here? i was in the area...*he gets a phone call from the ex* he says to her no no i haven't gotten home yet i just stopped on the side of the road to take a nap...)

i'd find out the truth
my heart would stop
i would want to cry
i'd confront him
he'd tell me he was protecting me or didn't think it was important cuz "nothing happened"
repeat

& as time went on the finding out the truth didn't even matter anymore because the suspicions were always there...hell most of the time i was suspicious i was right

wow this is not the thing to be "talking" about right now cuz i'm remembering so i'm getting pissed off kinda...

see...the thing is i don't feel the pain from what heppened anymore...i just feel the bitterness & the anger...

i think somewhat at myself for having put up w/ that kind of shit...it was so unnecessary to my life

hell i still hate "her" & truth is...i know it's partially her fault because she knew i existed but i probably put more blame on her than she deserves...but who the fuck tries to woo's someone else's bf...anyways...

also like i had told di...hearing her name or seeing her name spelled out makes me cringe or burn inside cuz one, it's an ugly name HAHAHAH (i'm not saying it) & two, it's proves that she really does exist & that she is a real human being...i guess in a weird way i just want to think of her as an entity not worthy of a name or identity...hmm & based on what i have heard/seen she isn't worthy...

there must be a reason for his parents loving me & hating her...

eh whatever...i'm delving deeper into this than i care to...

sorry people that read this



on a somewhat lighter note..
my apple had a sticker that said there's a new snow white musical at disneyland & only until i said it in words did i realize how creepy that is...
i will fall asleep forever after i eat that apple...
must not trust them fuji's anymore

unless my prince...

oh shuddup connie

a lot like love
so it had the usual romantic comedy effect on me...

a mixture of happy & sad

cept it was more happy than sad...

i know i have come to terms with being happy

but i guess no one can fully erase that tidbit of self pity

i guess the one thing about the movie was that love is not clear sometimes...maybe there is always a bit of denial....

it's strange because i never had the denial factor until i was hurt...

but i guess at least i know i do sometimes...

sometimes i hate that i lost that trust in others...but i guess if i hadn't learned then i would've learned somewhere else eventually...

jon had said "if it wasn't ken it would've been the next guy" & i knew he was right...

sooo...that is all

cept i'm somewhat flustered with my life at the moment i am always feeling overwhelmed & my time alone is scarce & valuable...i get thrown off easily too...

one small thing will throw me over the edge (in my mind not towards others)...eg, planning my schedule or whatever...anyways

i have a long hw assignment waiting for me..beh

blast from the past
so my mentor figure has come back into my life

we had lost touch as we each grew busier...

we've been emailing more & i am reminded of how important he has been in my life...

without him i would NOT be where i am today

i'm really lucky to have him in my life

he knows how thankful i am...

but he really did see me through my worst time...when no one even knew i was suffering

but anyways...(not to steal the spotlight from him)

in his latest email he attached an email i had written him to 2001 needless to say it was very very weird to read...

1, i abbreviated & used weird spelling like no other...i used to type so fast with that...now i can't do it even if i tried...(z's in place of s's, sed vs. said, u's for you's, etc)

2, i went into so much detail...he was right...he WAS my blog back then haha....i feel bad now..i'm sorry you had to put up with that...

3, i was kinda interesting (at least in the first paragraph) i thought about stuff i thought i didn't back then...(the paragraph was about us learning in class about a life pyramid (what was necessary for life) & how i felt my life was missing a crucial part) it's weird i don't even remember learning that in high school...because i saw something similar again in ieor171 & i thought it was interesting haha...

4, although i'm a bit more mature i sound the same...i knew i sounded a bit younger but i could see myself saying the same things now & getting away with it...it was kind of weird feeling...i know i've thought a lot of new things since then & experienced more but it's weird to think that i had the same brain with the same capacity then...

5, i always knew i chose to forget...& sometimes i just forgot about things i might've said or things that have happened...but this is the first time it's kind of bothered me...i mean in the past the things i've re-remembered have been bad things so it was good that i forgave & forgot but these are just random tidbits of knowledge & what not & i'm really surprised i don't remember...well i guess i can't remember the detail of every day...so i shouldn't beat myself up over it...but yea...


like always thank you for provoking my thoughts

being dramatic
Now Playing: The Way I Feel Inside-The Zombies
whatever i can be a drama queen if i want to...

although this is true but not this extreme(at least i hope not)...i kinda just really like this song...it's sweet:


should i try to hide
the way i feel inside
my heart
for you
would you say that you
would try to love me too
in your mind
could you ever be
really close to me
i can tell the way you smile
if i feel that i
could be certain then
i would say the things i want to say tonight
but till can see
that you really care for me
i will dream
that some day you'll be
really close to me
i can tell the way you smile
if i feel that i could be certain then
i would say the things i want to say tonight
but till i can see
that you'd really care for me
i'll keep trying to hide the way i feel inside

studio
& the pestering mother never ceases...

i wonder if by living alone i've fostered a lot of weird habits...

eg, i drank a whole nalgene in like 10 minutes & for the next 30 minutes i was running to the bathroom consistently & i thought to myself if i had a roommate they'd probably think i was really really weird...

gawd the luxury of living alone...
