good news: let's see... 1. nick carter debuted at #17 on the billboard charts. it could (should) be worse. well maybe not should, but, ya know... 2. "i'm off to see the wizards..." dec 23. 7:30. dallas vs. jordan. yes sean you BETTER be there. =P ok, i think this is it. hahaha. slow news day. almost time to go! (^.^)v Squirted 4:49 PM by E-J Yigood friday: i just got back from a 2 hr lunch. hehe. *evil smile* eh! i dunt care...i had a great time anyway. hangin out with da co-workers @ comp usa. nerd alert! :) i'm getting bored of 'survivor'. it's so boring. i want to watch 'the osbournes'. it seems so much more funnier. they have a close-knit family. i cried when ozzy started crying when barbara walters asked him how he was taking his wife's illness. how loving he is! that prince of darkness... i have Bible study tonight. there's a bowling activity with the IT department tonight, but unfortunately, i can't make it since it's the last one we're probably ever going to do with sam. *sniff sniff* it would be interesting to see what personalities come out when people bowl though...=\ this morning, i was listening to kidd kraddick (even though i'm still pissed) and they were live from disney world. they have this thing called kidd's kids where they select terminally or chronically ill kids to come to disney world for an all-expenses paid trip. it's so wonderful. won's been a kidd's kid. yesterday they had this girl read a poem she wrote about how she got picked to go on the trip and while she was reading it, she was quivering and her throat was stopping up b/c she was trying not to cry. (bad grammar, i know.) and i had tears welled up in my eyes that i had to change radio stations or i would look like a mess going into work. but it was such a nice poem. THEN this morning, they had this father read a letter he wrote to his son who has cerebral palsy and i DEFINITELY could not listen to that. even before he read it, he didn't want to read it. the first word he said, he voice cracked. so i had to change the radio station again b/c i couldn't see infront of me b/c of the tears in my eyes. it's just a real nice thing that kidd & them does...even though they jipped me on nick carter... speaking of nick...he was on the "craig kilborn" show yesterday. i didn't see the perf, but i taped it! julie gave me hope when she said that he sounded & looked better than the "tonight show" perf. thank goodness!! i want to go see "8 Mile". it looks very intriguing. o_O i think eminem will give a great performance. i have high expectations for this movie & it's getting such great reviews. don't really care for brittany murphy though. does that mean i'm jealous? eminem is looking better to me...omg. what's wrong with me?? ;) anyhoo, my co-worker, tammy, said that i didn't look like the type to like eminem. true dat. haha. well enough posting for now. i'm bored again. but hey it's friday!! :) (^.^)v Squirted 1:53 PM by E-J YiThursday, November 07, 2002
world 101: i know most of us don't have time to watch oprah, but everybody knows it's a quality show. my dad loves it. and he tapes it frequently. yesterday's episode was about what the world thinks of america and how ignorant we (americans) are about everybody else in the world. and it is SO true. however, most of you guys are _____-american so we have the struggle in staying up with both cultures, right? i do. on one hand, i am totally americanized. clothes & talking. on the other hand, i got this thing called "heritage" that causes me to stop & think if i am supposed to do this? am i supposed to talk back to my parents? do i look at them straight in the eye? do i scream at them? do i start eating first? the answer is HEEEEEEEEEEECK no to the above questions even though sometimes i am guilty of commiting these violations. on oprah, they even had a whole segment on north korea. how it's considered "the scariest place in the world" now b/c of their not-so-secret nuclear program. people there, south korea, indonesia, pakistan, france all think that americans are materialistic, violent, lazy, and overly sexual. which is probably true. oprah kept saying that probably most of the audience couldn't point out where pakistan was on the map. i dunno if this is true or not, but i'm sure there's alot of college students that couldn't. sad, but this is true...or is it? am i being too pessimistic? man this sux. my hope for mavs (maybe for free) tickets have vanished. my hope didn't get mavs season tickets this year. gosh darn it. =\ i am still sleepy. and it's 11:38 right now. this is not good. i only got 6 (maybe less than that) hours of sleep last night. i stayed up to watch nick carter on the 'tonight show'. i thought he would redeem himself after a disappointing short performance on regis. i was wrong. the regis perf seemed better b/c, fortunately for him, short. but not this time. he was jumping all over the place like it was a rock song and it looked like a desperate attempt, in ann's words, "to look cool". i couldn't agree more. we both like nick-bsb. not nick-solo. brian was right, nick. go back. it's okay. we forgive you. but nick did have a killer smile. that was the redeeming part of it. julie tried to make things seem better when she noticed that he didn't have any ear plugs in while singing. ya know...the screaming girls probably threw off his pitch. yes, that's it. =| i'm about to go eat some yet gol! korean food! yeah! mmm...can't wait. :D i buying young lunch b/c he's giving me a ride back & forth to work b/c i have to drop off my car at this guy's auto shop. my dad's making me go there even though i don't trust the guy at all. oh well. that's my dad's money and if he wants to waste it, that's his perogative. do you remember this song? oh baby, talk to me, oh baby, can't you see? cuz i'm the shyest girl in the whole, wide world and let me take your hand and make you understand. i want to be with you. i want to be so close to you. i heard that on the radio the other day and it brought back memories. i thought that song was my theme song. lol. aite. time to get ready to go. kong bee ji, here i come!

taken from dayamxgina's aa page: i think she wrote it herself. pretty funnie... Types of Korean Girls Gold Diggers: I`m not going to lie, there are ALOT of these girls. You can usually find them shopping at Saks, Gucci, or Cartier. They always have a LV or Gucci purse to match their outfit. They`ll basically go for any male that rides a Mercedes/BMW. These are girls Jin da MC raps about. Undercover: Girls who act innocent to win guy`s attention on their "I wear no make up! Look at me" motto. They secretly wear foundation and powder to cover their blemishes and wear light lip gloss to have that "natural glow." They hang out with their church crew to appear innocent, but deep inside hate all of them. They act like their shy and giggle at everything anyone says. Note : Don`t let them drink because once done, the true beast is out! Hoodrats: Girls who go for anything that walks on legs. A little smile or wink will get them all roused up. You can pick them out by their pencil lined eyebrows, with black-like lipstick. They wear the hoochdified-wannabe-car-model outfits everywhere they go. Naivettes: Genuinely innocent girls who have never been "asianized" and always hang out with her study crew. They basically grew up under the power of their mom`s authoritative "Go to piano, go to kumon, go to ballet, make straigh A`s, be #1" environment. They may be book smart, but boy are they street dumb. It`s always these type of girls those gangster-wannabe boys go for. Once corrupted, they can`t go back. Nerds gone wild. Confidante: Girls who are built on confidence, intelligence, and class. They may appear snooty, but in reality are quite nice. They are often misjudged with the gold diggers, but once you get to know them, you`ll see a 180 difference between the two. Their drive is to be successful and not have to rely on a man to support them. Guys are usually intimidated by these girls because they are afraid of feeling "inferior," or being "not good enough." Watch out, because one of this type will be the President one day. i think i'm a combo of "undercover" and "naivettes". but i won't tell which parts. lol. (^_^)v Squirted 4:40 PM by E-J Yi10:19: it always seems like when i look at a clock, i see the time 10:19. i'm serious! it's sooo weird. is there a certain time that you always seem to see? am i making sense? grace wrote me this email the other day and it made me lol: I wanted to tell you this weird dream I had last night. It was actually very scary at the time, but now it's silly now that I'm awake. I had a dream about some Sandi and Sean. It's funny because I haven't talked to Sandi in a while and she was in my dream. As for Sean, I think I dreamt about him b/c yesterday I saw my dad watching this Korean video, and I remember thinking that this guy on there resembled him. Maybe that's why I did... but anyways, I dreamt that Sandi was living in Washington DC and I went to go visit her. We went up this tall hotel building and she jumped off the balcony with a dog. She threw the dog off the balcony and she jumped off with it. I saw the dog splatter from above and I saw her land, luckily in someone else's balcony tho. It was really scary. The other part was at a Korean grocery store. I don't know why, but my mom, me, and Sean went to this grocery store and next door was an Urban Outfitters (next to SMU). But instead it was a Korean clothing store and not the real Urban Outfitters. He also started telling me that his sister is getting married. He kept repeating it over and over. Now that I find really weird b/c I dont even know his sister. But anyways, I woke up really confused and scared... I was scared b/c my dream was all broken up into separate dreams and parts of it had Michael Myers from Halloween. I hated it! i love grace! esp the part of sandi jumping off the building. hahahahaha... i am currently trying to purchase mavs tickets. actually grace is doing it for me. man i hope it works out!! >.< omg ann! that's so cool that you had the door held by spike lee. man i would have been i love your movie, "do the right thing!" i dunno. he just seem nerdy-cool. ya know? but that's really neat. yesterday for lunch i had wendy's mandarin chicken salad or whatever it's called &, imo, it's REALLY good! check it out if you want. it will keep me healthy for a few days...atleast! last night was another crappy night in the park household. i was fuming last night before bed which i don't like to do, but i calmed myself down. then i woke up b/c i was freezin' my arse off b/c SOMEBODY didn't turn on the heater!!! >O i felt like qutting my job, doing nothing at home or move to korea. i mean, i was sooo mad. i feel like i should be doing something i LOVE. not just for the sake of having a job. i want to do something where i get excited to get up in the mornings. i want to do something that will make me think. hard. something where i don't have to do the 8-5 grind every single freakin' day. working sucks if you don't enjoy it. i truly do understand the whole concept of the movie, 'office space'. i didn't when it first came out, but omg. that movie is pure genius. i don't like to dwell on the past b/c today is a new day. i like to look forward and ironically, positive. i pretty much hide my true feelings to appear more cheerful to strangers or even acquaintances. but that's probably with everybody. yesterday on a korean drama, a grandma didn't want her grandson marrying somebody who had a gloomy disposition. she liked girls who lighted up the room. the girl with a gloomy disposition is very smart, pretty, and polite, but she doesn't have that radiance that the grandma wants in a granddaughter. i told my parents i'd probably act like her. they thought that was funny. so did i, but i meant it. okie enough of this gloominess. ann, it's sunshiny in dallas today!! yipee~! :) (^_^)v Squirted 10:24 AM by E-J YiTuesday, November 05, 2002
election day: yeah, but i'm not going to vote! last night was the justin timberlake interview on 20/20. i honestly think he's very talented. a black guy trapped in a white boy's body, but yeah, i think he's a good dancer. i think he's one of the best white boy dancers out there. but that's my opinion. my whole family just thinks he's a jacko-wannabe. during the interview, of course, they asked about britney. here's what i think: i think, yes, they did "it". and she did "it" with someone else. so he dumped her cheatin' butt. he got his <3 broken by her. later on, the truth shall come out. and i'll be right. (i think~) ann tells me last night that she didn't think nick's cd was any good. i, sadly, agree with her. i was trying to look forward the 1st week sales figures, but i figured, what the heck? it will probably be very embarrassing. or maybe if i'm thinking it's going to be really disappointing, maybe i'll be pleasantly surprised. doubt it. i'm so bored at work. all i do is watch out for people. and it blows. it better get better than this...=\ Squirted 10:48 AM by E-J YiMonday, November 04, 2002
interruptions, interruptions: finally, i can get started writing~! where did i leave off? oh yes. saturday. 1st thing in the morning my dad decided to SCREAM at me for not being able to find pickles to eat and demanded that i go get my transmission fixed that day. he totally blew up at me, leaving me & julie speechless. and i had my drum lesson to get to! well i made it there and see that my drum teacher doesn't look like one. i should have known. drummers never look normal. (hence: myself...well except for shawn b/c he's good-looking~!) anyways, we had our first lesson and i figured out that i gotta work on coordination. i actually got to play on his drum set and played a beat while hitting the high hat, snare, & bass drum. whew! :) i gotta start practicing this week on getting my arm muscles buff. hehe. (hope they don't end up looking popeye-ish.) afterwards i head over to northpark where julie is busy looking for a coat for me. as you all know, i don't enjoy shopping so i hired julie to find a coat for me. in return, julie gets a finder's fee. i get there & they don't have my size and we part; julie to stefan's & me to ho's to do some tutoring. after i finish tutoring ho, i come home & crash on my bed. i was really tired. musta been the weather. afterwards, me & julie (more julie) decide to clean up the house to lift my dad's spirits even though i REALLY didn'tn feel like it. julie got started cleaning, but i end up practicing drumming & julie is finding songs that i can drum to. that was pretty fun, but my arms got tired quickly. i can't wait till i can do rolls & making cool rhythms & stuff. anyways, dad calls & says he wants to eat dinner. we head over to cristina's which is located right in front of my dad's store & we had a GREAT meal. for my dad, it was the best mexican food he's ever had. it wasn't the best for me, but it was pretty up there. we get home. watch a truly UNFUNNY SNL (they have got the crappiest writers on tv...i didn't even crack a smile.) and my dad decides to lecture us afterwards. i didn't get it. we had this great meal where we're laughing and having a good time, we get home, and he decides to tell us to not to get on his nerves and "don't make me worry about you". needless to say, me & julie were beat down by the whole thing and being the good girls we are, didn't say a word. (if we do, we prolong the lecture to about 2-3 hours.) the next morning, Sunday, tae came to Church which was good. ho & charlie said, "it felt like he never left" which is my feelings exactly. we head to maggiano's for lunch which was REALLY good and we came home to see my mom back from her trip. she got me a mug like i asked, but it was a lil too artsy-fartsy for me. ho came over last night for more tutoring. me, julie, and ho had some fun just hanging out. afterwards, i watched "american dreams" (taped) and went to bed. a calm end to a stormy weekend for me. is kiss-fm EVER going to do anything for me? it pisses me off when i think of it more & more. ho asked me why i was watching "american dreams" b/c he felt that nick had "stood me up". it's more like kiss-fm did. they suck. hard. anyways, hope this week turns out better than last...i'll keep my head up. (^_^)v Squirted 12:03 PM by E-J Yiamerican dreams: yesterday, nick carter made his acting debut on "american dreams" playing jay from the real group, jay and the americans. and he was pretty natural at it too. he just looked kinda big in his tight sweater. the show moves kinda slow, but it does have a great soundtrack. usher is going to be on next week as marvin gaye. pretty cool stuff. :) friday, we had dinner with tae @ spring creek bbq. that was fun except i got a tummy ache (probably from eating too much) and we all headed over to the pyuns to watch "spider-man". i've already seen it before and thought that it was too cheesy to watch ever again. ok and now i'm doing something i really can't do. artistic stuff. will post later.
