it's britney!: if you ever heard the infamous britney interview on kiss fm, it's so funny. kellie raspberry didn't believe it was britney spears on the phone, but it really was. didn't sound like to her to me, but they got her mom on the phone and her mom was pissed. funny stuff.

britney and fred. true? we'll never know, but definitely eye-opening. i can imagine her being a bad girl. whether or not it's the truth is another matter.

speaking of britney, her ex, justin and christina are touring together. at yesterday's game, they played "like i love you" and man, all these black folks were just jammin' to the song. it made me actually want to go to his concert. i dunno if i'd really go. but he has catchy songs so i was contemplating it.

right now i'm wearing my Najera t-shirt. :) made me feel even more proud of him when i read this. yes, he's more valuable than other mvps. i love u eddie! :)

alright, even tho i don't feel like working, i must.

catch u later readers!



my life as a series of movies: lame title, i know, but i couldn't think of anything else...

basketball diaries: yesterday's game was one of THE most exciting games ever, but also one of the most heart-breaking. it really was a game we should have won. extremely disappointing. i mean, i was actually feelin' good before the game. sam and jimmy were joining us and i thought, man, they would be the difference. we got a delish meal of sonny's bbq and sat down in our nosebleeds, but surprisingly had a great view. every seat has a great view. we were all fired up. sam said that he would "scream like a girl" if the mavs came out on top. the whistle blows and...

conspiracy theory: i know that was yesterday's title, but seriously folks, the refs are freakin' retarded. don't know how to officiate a game. they freakin' called dirk on 3 fouls!!!! >.< he doesn't even get 3 fouls a GAME how could he get 3 in one half?!?! it was infuriating! i was like, dang, they BETTA win b/c of the poor officiating. but no, they had to get bradley all fouled up, too. it was frustrating. and to the non-mavs out there? c-webb and divac getting fouled out?? i dunno if i could call that "make-up" calls. it wasn't good enough for me. but i did almost crap in my pants when c-webb got out. i could almost taste victory! then bobby jackson freakin' hits this LUCKY bank 3. ask any bball player, they KNOW that was a lucky shot. and our 7 pt lead with 2 minutes left to go was gone. and with najera out, we didn't get any inside presence. argh. bradley did well last night, but raef screwed things up. so did van exel. you MAKE those hooks, man!! dang. but when it comes down to it, none of the big three could put it in. when dirk could have won the game, he got scared and didn't take it to the rim like last game. it was like in slow motion. and that freak (freak b/c he got skinner legs than cartoon characters) keon clark makes another lucky shot to win the game. i'm glad for the entertainment though. definitely worth my $39. even though i'm going to the nets game on tuesday, it won't matter until we beat la or sacto. i'm rootin' for the lakers now. so we don't play them. haha. we need to keep winning and so do they.

ok, enough bball talk.

insomnia: i don't know what's wrong with me these days, but i'm back to my old sleeping habits of 2 years ago. it now takes me more than an hour to fall asleep again. for the past 2 years, i've been thoroughly enjoying sleeping b/c i'd fall alseep in less than 30 minutes, but for the past 2 weeks, no. it's frustrating. probably b/c i've got alot on my mind. stupid things. =\

this was probably a boring post for most of the readers out there, sorry. tonight's a farewell party for the wons. last night when i went over to their apartment, seeing all the boxes, seeing caleb and rachel ran around the apartment, i had to choke back tears. what the heck am i going to do come sunday and monday? crap. i didn't mean to, but i cried myself to sleep last night. sunday's going to be rough for me and i'm not sure whether to take the rest of my 1/2 personal day off monday to see them off. even though i know that they're planning on coming back in 2 years, there's still a possibility that they won't. you never know where God's going to lead them. but DTS (dallas theological seminary) said that "they would make sure" that sam gets a teaching position there so i'm very grateful to them. go DTS! :D if i don't post on monday or if i'm in a bad mood on monday (possibly the week), please bear with me. i'm losing more than friends. i'm losing family.

song of the day: shinbi - to my friend (^.^)v

conspiracy theory: you know what's a conspiracy?? the NBA refs, that's who! >O najera got suspended for 1 game and it's TONIGHT against the kings. i hate the stupid refs. if we lose, someone's going to pay...grrr~

good 2 day holiday, huh? wonderful times at home: cleaning, eating, sleeping, watching tv, reading. wow. lots of "ing" words. hehe.

i probably have more to post, but i've been so super busy today (b/c of babohs (stupids) at work)...argh~! >.<

tonight me, julie, sam, and jimmy will be heading over to the AAC for MAVS vs. queens tonight. gosh, it would be so wonderful if we win! come on, guys! let's go! ok, i sound like the biggest dork alive.

i grew out my fingernails (on my hands, not feet) until my mom started freaking out. they don't like me or julie with long fingernails. i actually don't like long fingernails, but sometimes it feels cool to type with them like i'm doing now. probably have to get rid of them tonight.

robert blake story on "20/20" made me think that he maybe killed his wife, not fo' sho' like i thought before. see robert, not everybody thinks you did it. uh, but you ARE a madman. sheesh. i was tense the whole time thinking he was going to start choking barbara walters at any moment. would have made for good television though.

alright, enough for today. must check the traffic and finish up some stuff.

(old school) song of the day: ahn jae wook - yesterday (actually kim jung min's song first, but this is the mp3 i have) (^.^)v

never been dated: i made a startling revelation over the weekend, but we'll get to that later after my "weekend update" (sans dennis miller):

went home @ noon on thursday and headed straight to kroger's. i spent a good 30 minutes there trying to figure out what i felt like eating b/c i didn't feel like eating anything at all. i made out with some applesauce, cranberry almond crunch cereal, gatorade, and some drugs. came home, ate my drugs, and slept. totally out of it. at this point, i was thinking about going to work for a 1/2 day, but when i woke up friday morning, i didn't feel like going even if it was a friday. so i stayed home, slept, ate drugs, and watched some tv. good rest i guess, but i couldn't seem to get enough sleep. dunno why. =\ same thing happened on saturday. boring, i know.

now we come to yesterday, sunday: i wasn't feeling good enough to take care of, ahem, teach Bible study so i didn't go. made it to the kids' service only to feel considerably worse after seeing them. then comes my english worship service. good news? i was sitting in the back this time, working the computer. bad news? praise time was like how u see a car accident about to happen and then it doeshappen. it wasn't pretty. alley and julie were scrambling to maintain a beat. i hope this isn't a sign of times to come. i really hope not. came home, watched a taped mavs game (yesss, we won in our 1st OT), and somewhat took a nap. i woke up to go to dinner with my senior pastor's family and duke's parents. i wasn't feeling really great and wanted to stay home, but i should never underestimate the power of laughter. (yes, this is the same duke who is linked on the side.) omg. if you think duke has wit, humor, you need to listen to his parents. absolutely the funniest couple alive. duke, your dad never ceases to crack everybody up. he's the only person to make a certain someone (NOT me) pee a couple of drops before taking off to the bathroom. u remember that? maybe not. anyways, i came home absolutely exhausted and headed straight for bed.

and now i'm at work. wonderful.

norah jones swept at the grammys. good for her. she's from dallas so u gotta love that! and eminem won 2 awards so i'm satisfied. i taped it last night so imma watch it later. =)

some tv notes: ken kim wasn't "hot" enough to make the finals. oh well. and i'm thorougly enjoying "i'm a celebrity: get me out of here!" if you haven't seen this train wreck, you should. it's so funny to see this D-list of celebs interacting with one another. 2 of them almost got in a fight the other day. and tyson beckford and ian ziering ("steve" from "90210")'s ex are hookin' up. somebody says, "i think somebody's got jungle fever". hehe.

ok, NOW to the topic at hand: 2 people, actually maybe 3 people, are in the process of trying to set me up with someone. no, i didn't ask for it. my mom didn't either, but she SHO likes it. and then i realized that, i've never been on an actual date before! i probably sound really pathetic, but it's true. homecoming doesn't count nor the after-football game "dates" i had back in highschool. i just never had a flat-out: think about what i'm going to wear, get those butterflies before a date, get picked up, take me out to dinner, maybe movie, drop me off by midnight, kind of date! i'm not ashamed to admit it because i think i'll have my opportunity later. i'm ok with that. i tried to imagine what kind of date would i be. would i come off as tomboy or girlie? honest or too blunt? unfunny or side-splitting hilarious? shy or out-going? none of these questions can be answered until it actually happens. it will be an eye-opening experience and hopefully something that will make me into a better person. the sooner, the better though. jk. ;)

and it's actually sad how some koreans look at dating/potential marriage partners. it's like we're an elite class. wealthy people consider parents' income and education as well as the potential couple's. koreans, atleast the ones i know, consider not only the education/income of the couple, but also the parents as well. and if their parents only graduated from high school? docked points. parents own a donut shop? docked points. short guy? i dock points. haha. (gotta think of my kids!) anyways, i wonder if other races think the same way. it's like even if 2 families both own sandwich shops, there is a difference between the families because one family, both parents graduated from prestigious universities in korea (think "harvard" and "wellesley") and the other parents just came to america straight after high school or didn't finish, the college eduated parents are more likely to get a doctor/lawyer in their family.

anyways, there are just some things that will never been understood. like crop circles. haha.

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