hehe. i'm soooooo glad today is friday. and i got my paycheck today!! whoo hoo~! :)

i had a wonderful lunch with my co-worker and julie. we had much fun talking about spohts (as chris arnold says) and work. but it got really sad when he was talking about his wife who passed away a year ago. he's still having trouble getting over it. she had kidney disease and couldn't get a transplant in time. the worst thing about it? his wife's sisters were PERFECT matches and decided not to donate their kidneys. WHAT DA HECK?? WHAT'S WRONG WITH PEOPLE?? when i heard that i had to stop myself from cussing inside. HOW COULD ANYBODY DO THAT TO THEIR OWN SISTER? he said that they signed her death sentence. they did. it would be hard to forgive someone if they did that. it just goes to show you how evil people really are. their whole family. it's sad when bad things happen to really good people. my co-worker is just absolutely nice and it pains me to think that he goes through this suffering alot. he really likes me & julie and thinks of us as daughters. how nice! :*)

tomorrow i'm going to FINALLY see lord of the rings: two towers. i'm excited. i don't like the fact that it's taking up my whole afternoon. it better be worth it. but i am curious to see what happens next. that thing who is after the ring, not the big scary black horses, but that creepy thing with bug eyes, scares me. O_O

ok. i gotta do some more work. bye for now.

speechless: ok, not really. i have alot to say, but i am still shocked...

OMG. MAVS are sooo sweet! they put on a SHOW last night~! freakin' awesome. dirk, i hope your neck feels better. i know kg didn't mean it, but atleast fin's got yo back. that's right fin, you tell 'em!! :) first time i saw him pissed off. but then again, first time i saw dirk get pissed too. and he had a right to. bradley misses an easy dunk! doode~!!!!!!!!!! chris arnold from k104 said that dirk was screaming/cussing at him: "MAHN!! GET THAT @#$%$^ GUY OFF DA FLOOR. HEE'S HORRRRIBLE!! HEE'S HORRRIBLE! @#$%#$!! @#$%@#%!!! DAHM YOU!!!" HAHA. that made me laugh. cuz sam told me that when dirk first came, when dirk got mad he would say, "GOOD GOLLY! WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?" so everybody had to teach him to cuss. not a good thing, but man, "GOOD GOLLY?" lol.

got 2 new email compliments from both of my bosses. how nice. =)

today kissfm had a "FRIENDS" contest about getting 5 of your friends and you are the 6th one. you have to get them to say, "i'm listening to kidd kraddick in the morning" and say what "FRIENDS" cast member you are. even though i don't like the show that much, i'd have to say i'm pretty close to monica. being all neurotic and stuff. but who would be the rest? grace would be rachel? then who would ann be? cuz she kinda reminds me of rachel and monica. joey? sean's sort of a joey being a dorky playboy. ross? ... chandler? i can't think of somebody my age who would be like him. nevermind. geez. i missed will & grace. T.T it was a super-sized one too. hopefully julie got it on the vcr.

my parents are becoming increasingly annoying these days. how old am i? i'm 23. thanks. i'm an adult. don't tell me when i can stay home or not. it drives me nuts!!! >.< i was home monday, tuesday, and wednesday. yesterday i go to sam's to watch the mavs game and they tell me, "DON'T GO OUT ON SATURDAY. YOU STAY HOME AND CLEAN UP THE HOUSE B/C YOU GO OUT TOO MUCH." uh, YEAH, i go out TOO much guys, right? i'm what you call a PARTY-HOPPER. i get DRUNK and SMOKE my brains out all weekend and have SEX with 20 guys a weekend. yeah. i'm like that. so i better stay home so i can (this is a direct quote), "YOU NEED TO VACUUM THE STAIRS THIS TIME. AND YOU NEED TO CLEAN UP YOUR ROOM AND STOP GOING OUT." geez, i cleaned my room LAST weekend and it still looks the same. you're right, i DO need to stay at home so i can sober up. partying just takes up too much time. >.< i had already promised the boyz (won, ho, and charlie) that i would take them to see LOTR this weekend (before it hit the dollar theaters w/crappy sound) b/c i hadn't hung out with them in a while. they say, "DON'T PAY FOR THEM AND COME RIGHT HOME AFTERWARDS SO YOU CAN CLEAN UP YOUR ROOM." ARGH!!!!!! GEEZ. it's MY money i'm doing what i want with it!!! and i told my mom that. don't tell me what to do with my money or i'm going to spend ALL of it. and i'm not joking. is this driving you crazy??? i hope so. feel my pain, guys.

ok. i'm done with that mess. i had to vent out some frustrations.

i feel like a dork. when i get to work, i read all the xangas/blogs of all the people i know just to pass away time. and nobody updates as frequently as me. man, i must be a loser. i probably have an update almost everyday except on weekends in my archives. and my archive list is very extensive. =P

today, julie's coming over to work to eat lunch with me and a co-worker. he's buying us chinese buffet for lunch. isn't that nice? he even passed on a free lunch at crystal's pizza with the rest of our co-workers. wow. me and julie are that special? hehe.

btw, the olsen twins are worth $76 mil. O_O OMG.

another vent of anger: a co-worker passes behind me (and looks at my computer like EVERYBODY ELSE DOES) and says, "stop looking at porn!" oh yeah, that's real funny. i waited a few seconds and turned around and (tried) to give a look of surprise. but i was like, "woman, don't joke around like that. i don't look at the stuff you do. don't look at mine." GEEZ. WHAT'S UP WITH PEOPLE THESE DAYS??

ok. i'm through. really i am. i can't wait to go home. i'm beat down by this already.

*blush blush*: i feel so humbled. i have said so many bad things (JUST THIS MORNING)about this co-worker and then she goes and does this:

Glenda,

Joyce has been of invaluable assistance in preparing the resumes of the key personnel that are required as part of the Postal Service MRO Proposal. She has saved me hours of time that I would have spent creating or tediously reformatting the information that was submitted to us in many different formats from various sources. She often had to create something that resembles a Curriculum Vitae out of mere snippets of information sent at the last minute.

I greatly appreciate her time and efforts, and commend her on a job very well done.

Regards,

Daryl Poole
Professional Services Group (IT)

i was flabbergasted by this. she even copy and pasted it to VP of IT!! i don't think i could ever say a mean thing again...

busy as a bee: omg! i was actually busy this morning. =O but of course, i've done everything and now i'm again...bored.

i'm SOOOOOOOOOO happy the mavericks won last night!! :D houston thought they could hang, huh? i'm just glad the point spread was covered b/c me & steve had a bet goin' on and i still won! houston + 15. dang, i had a lot of confidence in my team, huh? Mavs Fan For LIFE!!!

i didn't catch the "bachelorette" or "idol 2" last night. i only care for the latter now. now that bob's gone, who else is entertaining to watch? i don't like any of the guys left. why don't they have any good-looking asians, huh?

if you haven't already, go here and vote for the next models for gap! there's a REALLY pretty asian girl. she reminds me of ming na. hope she wins!! :)

anyways, not much to write about today...

song of the day: norah jones - don't know why (^.^)v

Squirted 3:24 PM by E-J Yi

i'm a wanderer: have you heard this song before? i learned this song by watching KidSongs. does anybody know/remember that? i know my sister does. they had kids sing this song while the cameras followed around a cat. ok, i just KNOW you think, "omg, joyce, you're SOOOO weird!" disclaimer: probably THE most random post i'll be writing...

"onassis heir turns 18, gets $2.7 Billion; gets $2 B more when 21": life isn't fair. or is it? she's had a sucky life with so many people in her family dying young or from drugs. i feel sorry for her. and even though we'd all LOVE to get that much money, there ain't anything i'd do to trade places with her.

watched more "idol" last night. same ole thing. bad singers. MAYBE 1 or 2 that would make it into the top 32 tonight. why are there so many losers in america anyway?

wow, sean actually called me yesterday. no, wait, he also IMED me. wow, i feel so special.

i feel really bad: i actually SMILED when i read today that chris webber left the jazz game last night with a sprained ankle. i shouldn't be smiling. i really shouldn't. but that gives me so much hope that we'll beat them next tuesday. which me & julie will be seeing in person. i really don't like to see pain inflicted on someone. wait, actually, i do. hahAHAHahahaAHAHa. jk!

yesterday i heard an accident. it was only a fender bender. i heard a car go, "SCREEECH" (saved by the bell. haha) and i heard a loud "BOOM!" and saw a lexus lurch forward. sucks for the guy behind him!

i think i have been annoyed more times this morning than in 1 week. please people: don't tell me that you jammed the copier by putting in the wrong code more than 3x. ASK SOMEONE. please people: learn to use the fax machine. please people: learn to make coffee. i'm not your mother. but i can be a mofo if you want! >.<

ok, i won't ever be that.

this was brought up on the radio today: why do girls/women always laugh at guys when they get hurt? seriously, think about it: if a guy stubs his toe on a chair REALLY hard that he is doubling over in pain and screaming, women always laugh. or if you're watching, "america's funniest home videos" and they show a video of a little boy with a bat, swinging and hitting the "jackpot", women laugh while guys whince. some women called in and said it was because of "the expression on the guy's face", but i agree with what another caller said: "because of the whole drama that guys make out of it". guys need to be comforted and taken care of. i've read that in numerous magazines, but not sure if that's really true. is it? i know that guys need their ego stroked every so often, but do guys want a "mommy" sometimes? isn't this the oedipus-rex complex?

ok, please people: learn to read calendars. argh!! >.<

yesterday, me and my parents were watching our korean drama, "the little mermaid" and again, i found myself (along with my mom) crying whenever the main character thought of her mother. what made things worse is that i kept thinking of my mother. how her mother died from a stroke when she was only 14. and i kept thinking that my mom probably went through alot of the same emotions this character was going through. it was heart-breaking. but i DARE don't say anything b/c if i do, the flood gates will open for my mom and i'd rather not do that to her. i'll tell her someday, but it was just incredibly sad thinking about my mom last night. my mom's a very passionate and emotional person which can be both good & bad. i, on one hand, try not to be emotional. atleast in front of others. i know i CAN get emotional, but i try very hard not to. and it drives me nuts when people say, "calm down, joyce!" or "chill out~". i absolutely HATE hearing that. even though i might have to, i really hate hearing those phrases. i guess i get it from my dad. he's not very emotional to people outside our home. but at home, he's pretty quick-tempered which alot of people will find hard to believe. on the other hand, i try to be very honest with my feelings/opinions. something, i think, i get from my mom. so maybe i do come out too emotional. ok, this is probably the worst paragraph i've ever written. but does it make sense?

i really hate money. i really do. it is the root of all evil. but at the same time, you can't live without it. even though i save my money now, i don't want to have money left in my bank when i die. i want to give it all away. right now i have a sizable amount saved up, but i want to buy things now. am i becoming materialistic? i hope not. i'm tired of saving it for a rainy day. i want to buy a digital camera. so i can take random pics of friends and family. i want to buy expensive shoes b/c the ones on my feet are so cheap that i'm embarrassed to tell you where i got them. i want to buy clothes that will make me look better. cuz honestly, i buy clothes that i feel are comfortable, but i know they're not eye-catching. not that i would buy clothes that were revealing or make heads turn, but i want to buy some quality "threads" where people can actually SEE the difference. maybe i'm getting to influenced from grace. she has great clothes and possessions. although i would probably not buy gucci, prada, lv bags as often as she does, i want to have more than 2. GOSH i sound so greedy!! what's the point of having all this money when you can't enjoy it? i know money won't buy me happiness, but maybe i wouldn't feel so down sometimes. on the other hand (i'm saying this phrase quite often these days), the clothes that i have now make me look better than some of my co-workers. so maybe i don't have to spend alot of money on clothes and shoes. maybe i could just stay on the same clothes "level". maybe that would save me more money to buy nicer things later.

yeah, i think i'll do that.

love test: seemingly accurate. but aren't they all a lil too general? you decide. and you can take the test here.

1. You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and
free. dunno about that.

2. In the process of courtship, the approach that would make you
feel irresistable is creative, never let you feel bored. dunno about that either.

3. The impression you would like to give to your lover is loyal,
faithful, never change. don't we all? what you want to tell them that 'i'm going to cheat on you'?

4. You don't like it when your partner is emotional and/or too
moody; and you don't know how to please him/her. yes

5. The kind of relationship you would like to build with your
partner is that both of you can talk about everything and
anything, no secret is kept. of course! he's going to know everything about me. well, almost everything. ;)

6. You care about the society and morality, you won't do anything
wrong after marriage. i promise.

7. You are afraid of marriage, you think it would take away your
freedom. NO WAY. ABSOLUTELY WRONG.

8. At this moment, you don't have the thirst for love, you can't do
anything for it, you won't fall for it easily. very accurate.

who thought of this quiz anyway? jk.

i bought 3 cd's today. lee so young's 4th, the "ee nuh ah gah shi" (the little mermaid) soundtrack, and kim jee hae's new cd. kim jee hae is a beautiful AND famous violinist in korea who's in-laws are close with my family. we saw her on tv (videos) on 3 different shows. used to be the pantene hair model in korea. she kinda looks like kim hae soo. but yeah, it's pretty cool to buy a cd that you actually KNOW the person. me & julie played at her wedding. first time i had champagne b/c i was freakin' nervous and cold. but that's beside the point. haha.

sux that mavs lost yesterday. just beat the rockets wed. we're 2-0 with them so far...

ok, i seem to have nothing to write about. only 1 more hr to go. the day FLEW by today~! =D

"COFFEE BREAK WAS OVER 15 MINUTES AGO, MITCH!": from terry tate, office linebacker. my favorite commercial of the super bowl. dude, i TOTALLY wish we had him in our office. haha. i even signed up for his updates on reebok.com. very funny stuff.

the game itself was a bore. even though i was semi-rooting for the 'bucs, i could care less. the 1/2 time SUCKED hard. who enjoys it when you're singing songs nobody knows? (except for shania singing "up!") the best commercials? the trident commercial with the 4 out of 5 dentists ("NOOOOOOOOO!"), the above reebok one, dodge ram with the beef jerky (gross, but funny), & the ones by espn. to me, the beer ones were amusing, but not lol like these other ones. oh and the yao ming for visa was "cute". didn't like the sierra mist ones. so *yawn*. horrible one? the levi's one with the stampede of sheep. or the monster.com one with the runaway 18-wheeler. i was like ???? fire all those ad people and hire ann. =D

saturday night me & julie watched "jackass" that i got burned from a friend. totally gross, but totally hilarious. let me just tell u that be prepared to be grossed out b/c they don't hold back on anything. =P

i went to genghis grill for the 1st time this past weekend. i don't want to go there again. like the ingredients are very fresh and lots of variety, but i'm not paying to eat my own cooking when i could do that at home. it tasted okay the 1st round, but after the 2nd and 3rd (my portions were very small), i felt sick and grossed out. i know it's my doing, but still...i go to restaurants to eat food cooked by other people. i suck at cooking so...that's why. :)

yesterday during the super bowl, i all of a sudden had this huge feeling of man, i wish i had a boyfriend right now! so we could be watching this together~. i have no idea how that just popped into my head, but it did. =\ but i guess i should look at it this way: i could have had one a while back, but i didn't b/c i didn't feel like he was the right one for me. but then who will be? and how long will this take? man, i'm sounding super-desperate right now. all this over a stupid game. and v-day is coming up soon. well, actually i have only gotten "bothered" by that holiday once in my life. 2 months after i broke up with my first bf. but seriously i never really thought of v-day in terms of me, mostly i was worried if we would be able to get flowers for my mom, "from" my dad, in time. cindy's been trying to get me to come to ghc that day, but not really in the mood to hang out with a bunch of people i know, but not too well, and have to be uncomfortable all night, when instead i could be at home watching my korean videos. and who says i can't get a man? ha!

anyways, people have given me stuff to do today. i feel special. (^.^)v
