freaky friday: remember this movie? not the updated one, but the one made a long time ago...i remember it was so funny how they got to trade places. i definitely wouldn't want that to happen to me...

i am obsessed with the movie, "the truth about charlie". why? b/c it's the first movie with a "real" korean actor. meaning, he's actually good and by his own talent, he landed a hollywood role. i've watched him in a couple of korean movies and he's really good and so i'm proud of him. his name is even the first one on the website. anyways, it's not getting really great reviews, but mediocre. but i'll watch it anyway. his bio from the site: JOONG-HOON PARK (Il-Sang Lee) is one of Korean cinema's biggest stars, having achieved renown in such acclaimed films as My Love, My Bride and Two Cops. A student of film at Chungang University and later at New York University (where he earned an MFA degree), Park is adept at drama, action and comedy, and has starred in several of the highest-grossing Korean feature films of all time. He has won 20 Korean "Oscar"s for his work. cool stuff.

i watched "friends" yesterday with julie. actually made me laugh more than once. the funniest part was when joey "pretended" that he didn't know what ross was talking about. i loled about it seemed just like something the young adults guys would do. :)

i am: ISTJ: "The Elder" take this quiz to find out what YOU are...=)

this morning is going by pretty slowly. =\ atleast i'm in my jeans~ ;)

yesterday, me & julie watched "will & grace" (which was a repeat) with our parents. they could not really get any of the jokes and i realized how fast the jokes & punchlines are in that show. they couldn't keep up with it even if their life depended on it. we explained a few jokes here & there, but it was over their heads. i felt kinda sorry for them, but it works both ways when i watch korean videos. actually i probably "get" more jokes in the koreans shows than they in the american shows. but not by much. the show "scrubs" has really "fast" humor. it's like "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" humor. >.<

last night, a friend called and seemed really distraught over his new job. he's only been there a week and doesn't feel like it's right for him. this really scared me b/c he wants to leave probably by today. and it got me to thinking, "what about me?" what if...in a few more months, i don't think this is right for me...what do i do then? do i quit then? i told him to wait a little more to see if things get better, but he's not the type to wait too long. that's me. i wait until it's too late usually. (that's also a question on that personality test.) *shrug*

okie, time to get back to work!! um, yeah...

more random thoughts:

i have lost lots of respect for his "airness" himself, michael jordan. in fact, i agree with the girl on the radio today who said, "he's an infidel & jerk". i knew a few years ago that he & his wife got divorced b/c of his cheating, but i had forgotten all about it until today when i heard he's trying to get the woman who he had a "relationship" with 10 yrs ago into jail for extortion. good i'm GLAD that it's happening to him. he needs to get a wake-up call. JERK! >(

edward's reply made me laugh when i asked him why he didn't like nohraebangs: "it's satan's praise team" LOL!! he said he was joking, of course.

i am being bombarded with faxes at work. companies that send out 100's, really, of the same faxes to a company, SUCK BIG TIME. i hope they ALL go under!!!!!!!

supposedly the sniper has been caught. it seemed all anti-climatic today. =\ i was hoping for this hollywood-style standoff where he's threatening to blow himself up or something. he was caught sleeping! boring~! no, but really, i'm glad that he was caught and now people in d.c./virginia-areas can get some sound sleep. =]

actually, i think the hostage situation in the russian theater is REALLY scary. click here if you don't know what i'm talking about. that's crazyness over there. *shudder* just like the movies...

i think i feel kinda bored with life right now. things are kinda just moving along and i don't really have to think. i'm just going through the motions...

randomness: i know i'm pretty random anyways, so here's to random thoughts for today...*yawn* i'm sleepy!

i watched the outtakes from "toy story 2" that i had bought recently. so cute. and i watched the scene were sarah mclachlan sings "when she loved me". man, it made tears well up in my eyes. >.< got sick of watching 'the bachelor' so instead i sang some karaoke. i need to go to one and sing new songs. i don't know what it is about korean people, but i think alot of us feel that innate sense to sing. well, i can't say that chinese or japanese, or whatever race, doesn't feel the same way, but i think koreans go to karaoke places more. anyways, i found bryan adams' "heaven" and sang it with a hip-hop beat so it would seem sound like dj sammie's version of "heaven". lol. #7822 for those who go to the nohraebangs alot. :)

i cooked dinner for myself last night. aren't u proud of me? me who HATES to cook. i fried creamy corn croquettes and ate that with tonkatsu sauce. sounds gross, but it is actually pretty good. i really, really wanted to eat a salad with "my" dressing (i am so obssessed with the pietro dressing with the orange cap that i can almost drink it), but didn't feel like going to the grocery store.

yesterday i had lunch with cindy at subway. it actually didn't make me really hungry like i thought it would. i guess i should eat there more often. we were talking about whether or not looks matter in a guy. she was kinda trying to set me up with some guy at ghc, but she didn't think he was that good-looking, but his personality made him attractive. that's like how when girls say that a girl has a "nice personality", guys take it as "she's fat'. so i take it that he's ugly. if it goes for guys, then it goes for girls. right girls? (right?)

the other day grace suggested that she didn't really like work and wished to be doing something else. i am the same way. it's nice to have a job now, but i'm not doing something i love nor something i feel like i will be good at. like even though i have a mis major, i think i suck at it. and now my dad wants me to take mis classes? omg. he's crazy. he's been driving me crazy. i can't wait to move out. or atleast buy a new car so i can live out of my car. haha. we were both saying we'd like to be chauffers for rich people (meaning we would get paid ALOT) or have our own businesses where we didn't have to work alot.

i need new/more clothes. i actually want to do some shopping this weekend (gasp!).

i emailed my cousin in korea seeing if he could buy me a karaoke cd over there since we're 3 months behind. (geez.) no response yet.

ok, this is boring ME, so it should be boring YOU, so i will stop now until i think of better stuff to write about. so much for my randomness. =\

gone yesterday, here today: i was not having a good day yesterday, but i think today will be much better. i hope so.

i'm getting dec 6th off to do the Bill Glass prison ministries here in dallas. i was so nervous that my boss wouldn't let me, but she's super-nice so she said yes. i better get her a good xmas present. :)

yesterday, i had a great dinner with young, grace, and julie. it was kinda funny how we were talking about work. just like how we talked about school. and like always, young & julie agree on things while me & grace agree together. we're always split up like that. but it's a lot of fun. we sound old, talking about health & dental plans.

oh my way home, in the alley, i saw a little white rattan rocking chair. i initially passed by it, but i thought i could use it for my stuffed animals so i took it. (it was for the trash, i think...yeah, it was.) anyways, i brought it inside and my mom loved it. she thought it was so cute. and i didn't think i could sit down in it b/c my butt's too big, but surprisingly, i could. hehe. now i have a little rocking chair to sit in while i watch korean dramas with my parents. =)

shawn emailed me back and said that he wasn't teaching lessons, but some "plano drumline guy (barely) is teaching beginning drumset lessons..." i wonder who? geez, i hope it's somebody i liked. barely? man...that doesn't sound too good. he said to try CCCC and maybe i'll do that.

anyways, my right hand's middle & ring fingers have been hurting lately so i'm going to try resting for a while...

catch u later alligator~! (^_^)v

bang bang: something i'm so proud of...i got this by looking up "shawn schietroma" (pronounced shi-tro-ma). anyways, on pfiff (michael pfiffner...a cutie) has this on his site and i totally forgot about it...

"...in 1998 when Plano Senior High School placed 1st at the Percussive Arts Society International Competition along with winning captions for Best Snare line, Tenor line, and Cymbal line..."

ahhh...good times. =) somehow i TOTALLY forgot about that honor. i don't know how that's possible. i only thought we were the best in Texas. but i guess it was the WORLD. jk. it's cool though. one of the few things in life that i was proud to be a part of.

i'm thinking of taking up drum lessons with shawn, but i'm scurred he'll say no. i guess i have nothing to lose, but we're trying to get a drum set at church. in the budget meeting they asked "who's going to play it?" and jimmy says "mr. park's daughter" (me). lol. i know appa was thrilled with the idea. but i better ask sam to teach me a few things or ask shawn. *grimaces"

aite time for lunch! (^_^)v

disappointing: i taped "live with regis and kelly" b/c Nick Carter was going to be interviewed & perform. the interview was so boring and said nothing about nick's dad. then he goes to perform. BIG disappointment. the song itself is roughly 3 minutes long, but he CUTS it short to, i'm not kidding, about a minute. so i thought, ok, maybe he's tired so he doesn't want to sing for a long time, but if you're going to sing for a short time, atleast sing it good. geez. i dunno, i was in a whatever mood yesterday and when he sang that badly, i just had enough. the 'gq men of the year' awards interviews was more riveting. i'm sorry, but i was just really, really disappointed yesterday.

i think i have slight carpel tunnel syndrome. my fingers hurt. =\

ok, i better get back to work~

.....: i'm actually bored of this. maybe it's just today. argh. ate a mcsalad shaker today. ok except for too much cheese. yuck. =P but thought i should eat something healthy along with my all-american cheeseburger meal w/ a lemonade. :)

tomorrow i'm meeting grace & young for dinner @ cpk. can't wait for that. i miss talking to them. i wish i was closer to them so i could eat lunch with them. they're close together, but i dunno if they're going to eat lunch together alot. lucky ducks.

last thursday, i was about to get really mad about the traffic. but it was for Billy Graham. i am not joking, nor exaggerating, when i said i waited in the same spot for atleast 3-5 minutes. it would have been horrible, but to see people parking on the other side of the highway and walking over & under passes...it warmed my heart. that these people are going through so much to listen to Him. and Billy Graham. and the fact that i talked to cindy for about 50 minutes about the whole nick carter thing made time fly by. thanks cindy!

i'm scared. i have to ask for a day off from work in december for prison ministries, but i'm scared. not about the prisons. about asking. funny, isn't it? well wish me luck!

tired, but happy: had a grrrrreat weekend in austin~! although i'm freakin' tired right now, i had a good weekend so i shouldn't be complaining. =)

let's see...friday, edward picked me up from the airport. stop. i was never thorougly checked like usual. scary. but then again, i don't look like the terrorist-type. anyways, me & edward go to Central Market for lunch. not bad, pretty good actually. then we waited for sean's habitually late butt. surprised to see his hair very long (and strangely, the topic of a 5-minute conversation btwn BASIC girls & i: begging for me to tell him to dye it black), but not as bad as i thought. well, me & sean then go to get his hair cut, oh i mean, hairs cut (eddie!). sean gets some looks from the viet hair dresser (not sure if gay) and he seems to enjoy it. lol. jk. anyways, sean buys me a extremely cute Chococat pillow. note to self: i liked stuffed animals/pillows. go back to ann's and talk up a good convo. i love talking with ann b/c we don't run out of things to talk about. =)

new pp for eye strain: so then we went to trudy's, no actually, matt's el rancho, no actually, romeo's. sooo busy in austin on a friday nite. lots of couples there. and gay ones. anyways, the meal was good and the drink, Dreamsicle which ann bought me, tasted the best of the whole weekend. probably b/c i couldn't taste the alcohol much. on our way home, sean calls and asks if we wanna go sing karaoke. looking back, i should have said no and stuck to drinking with ann. i'm so sorry ann. karaoke was pretty boring and i regret going there. i can't sing infront of strangers. just can't. i wanted to sing all these BSB songs, but too embarrassed to do so. plus, i wasn't feeling very comfortable b/c of somebody.

new pp again: saturday morning, i wake up late and me & ann go to eat at matt's el rancho. yes, we DID have a sucky waiter ann, but the chicken in the quesadillas was really well-marinated. then we go to the golf course where ben works. he's very clean-cut and exact. i hope he & ann get to finally go out when they go see George Strait. ann, my dear, has gone country!!! :) we head back over to ann's where we have a mini-Sex in the City marathon. this show is pretty hilarious, but it has died down from 1st season, i think. kim cattrell used to show her boobs like every episode and now they only shoot from the shoulders up. not that i'm sad, trust me, i'm NOT. but i thought it was strange that a show that is so open has kinda closed itself. afterwards, i meet sara for lunch to do some gossiping & BOY was it shocking!! :D but don't worry sara, =]. after that i went to check out sara & sandy's cute lil apartment and then head back to ann's. we do some kokology (japanese personality tests) and have 1/2 of a wine cooler (ann) and 1/2 of hard apple cider (me). didn't feel too good after that. =\ found out that i left my backpack in sara's car (i also forgot my jacket in sean's car...what's wrong with me?!?!) and we go out to get that. got to sleep at 2:30 and woke up 20 minutes late. i didn't hear the alarm!! really, this doesn't happen. i dunno what was going on. probably too comfortable. :)

yesterday at church i was really tired and about to take a nap in the car, but decided to toss around the football with the boyz (ho, charlie, nick, danny, won). it was not a good "catching" day. only throwing. i was really tired, but decided to have my birthday dinner with the young adults. i don't like putting things off. so we went to fuca du puca? haha. it's something like that. right infront of stonebriar. pretty good also. and they graciously gave me another present. a BR gift card. i really needed it! SPANKS SO MUCH! after that we headed to the pyuns and they started "planes, trains, and automobiles". but i left early b/c i was tired and freakin' my dad calls for me to come home. i was pissed about that b/c i'm freakin' 23!!!!!!!! geez. i'm going to get REALLY mad next time.

anyways, i'm back at work, kinda hungry, but not really wanting junk food for lunch. man, what to eat...

well, anyways, THANK you to everybody who made me feel better about turning into air jordan's number. :) (^_^)v
