such a classy guy. welcome to mr. robinson's neighborhood.


omg, what's going on here?!?! O_O


what a GREAT picture, huh? and i'm wearing his shirt today! :D

so glad it's friday. can't take anymore web entry. borrrrrring! only an hour left till i blow this popsicle stand!

had yummy pizza (the way i like it: lil cheese, lots of sauce) @ the pyuns' yesterday. watched a great game. sucky outcome. we'll be ok. i hope. *gulp*

today i'm going to basic and watching sara in a skit. should be hilarious. hehe. anyways, i guess that's all i have for now. less than an hour to go! whoo hoo! (^.^)v

lose yourself: probably a REALLY outdated title to be using, but i watched "8 Mile" last night...



DANG. eminem has some intense looks. he sho' knows how to stare down people. it was a great movie. i can't say it was the best b/c i think i had been exposed to everything about it so much that i knew everything that was going to happen. but i wish i had gone out and saw it in the theater. and with a bunch of black folks. haha. the mc battles are so good. julie actually hates those scenes, but i thought it was the best part of the movie. she said it was b/c she isn't into rap like that. i don't think i'm considered into rap a whole lot, but i know skillz when i see/hear dem. and there were some freakin' good ones in the movie. but the last one eminem did, OMG. that was a facial. now i'm referring to bball. haha. anyways, i thought kim basinger sucked. taryn manning? what's the point of her? they could have just talked about his ex, not waste money and have her in there. brittany murphy was alright. but i think eminem kisses funny. his mouth was like all wide open when he was kissing her. how weird. mehki pfifer looked stupid with his hair. but ANYWAYS, besides all that, it was a good movie & worth buying. imma watch it again some time soon. and i got all into thinking about freestyling last night that right before i went to bed i had this whole freestyle in my head. yeah, i'm a 23-year-old 5'2" korean girl, who loves backstreet boys, who lives at home with her parents, and has a curfew YET i love rap. i can't listen to it 24/7, but i think rap/hip-hop has changed modern music than any other genre. ok, i don't know where i was going with all that. i should have wrote down the lil freestyle that i thought of last night, but i was too mad and now i've forgotten almost all of it. (plus, i don' t want to make a fool of myself infront of you guys.)

[edit: family doesn't like me writing about my life.]

if the mavs don't win tonight, i'll REALLY be in a bad mood tomorrow. i really will. =\

and now that i'm such a GREAT mood, i've decided to post up mp3s (of course, these aren't MY mp3s, the links are from some korean website) of songs that are playing daily in my head:

park ji yoon - to the important people (in my life) i absolutely love this song even tho she's singing falsetto most of the time. but that's trademark park ji yoon. this song kinda reminds me of "help me" by nick carter.

finkl - forever my absolute favorite finkl song. i never get tired of this song.

nrg ("energy") - forgiveness very boy-band sounding. but i love it!

park jung hyun & im jae bum - love is deeper than a wound i would have to say my favorite slow song ever. that's a pretty strong statement since i like so many songs, but man, this song is just the best. :)

yoon do hyun - arirang
yoon do hyun - oh pil seung Korea!
from the 2002 world cup. if you're korean and this songs don't give you goosebumps, then you have no heart. this guy can SING!

alright that's good for now. i better get back to work. ugh.

it's war!: i guess we're going to war. and within ourselves. EVERYBODY has an opinion...

tyrone lue (spelling?) of the wizards said something like this when asked about the imminent war: "we're (the wizards) in the war, too. we're trying to make the playoffs. it's like the same thing." OMG. what an idiot!!!! this morning, these sports commentators were arguing whether or not the media should ask these kind of political questions to athletics or celebs. one guy argued that he "didn't want to hear what they think about everything else. just talk about sports". the other guy said that some people are curious and since alot of people put athletes or celebs on a pedestal, they would like to know what they think. me? i don't really care. if people have an opinion that's fine. doesn't mean i have to agree, but they're human, too. they can say whatever they want. freedom of speech, people. but julie disagrees. she is hating the fact that steve nash is openly anti-war right now. he's been taking this stance since the nba all-star game. she thinks that athletes and celebs shouldn't be able to say what they think on "political" issues. only "politicians" can. so then me & my dad both thought of the same example: ronald reagan. he was an actor turned politician. "oh, but he's different", julie says. what? i'm confused. what about bill bradley? that bball player who turned into a senator or a representative? he spoke his mind and got elected. julie had no response, but was adamant: keep your day job.

yeah mavs won last night. and the spurs lost! this is good. fin got hurt. bad. hopefully he'll be okay for thurs game vs. spurs. i'll be @ the pyuns that night. yesterday i called them and i was talking to linda and when joel (her 3 year-old son) wanted to talk to me too, she started tickling him so that he wouldn't grab the phone. well, he fell and his hand landed on a metal lighthouse (toy). he started bawling. awwwww, he sounded sooooo cute! so then linda asked, "joel, do you want to talk to joyce noona (older sister)?" and he immediately stopped crying and said, "yes". and this is how our conversation went:

joel: hello?
me: hi JOEL! hey, were u crying just now?
joel: yes.
me: why? what happened?
joel: i...i...i...i fell down and hurt my hand on a lighthouse.
me: (trying not to laugh) oic. aww. joel, please don't cry.
joel: ok.
me: can you laugh for me?
joel: yes.
me: (snicker snicker) ok. laugh for me.
joel: (long pause) A-HUH! [try making that sound really short. it's funny.]
me: hahahahhahha. (i can hear eddie & linda laughing in the background)
joel: ...
me: joel? are you there?
joel: yes.
me: good. do you feel better?
joel: yes.
me: yay! can you laugh for me again?
joel: AHUH!
me: puhahaha. joel, you're so cute!
joel: ...

aren't 3 year-olds cute?? :D i will take pics of him tomorrow and baby carolyn so i can finish up my roll. hehe. i love the pyuns!

last night i watched "american idol" b/c kelly clarkson was going to be on. before her, all 11 finalists sang. i only liked ruben, clay, & rickey. everybody else, you can go home now. even tho clay kinda messed up, he is a crowd favorite. but ALL OF THAT was upstaged by KELLY. i thought she had too much eye makeup on, but DANGGGGGG!! girl can SING~!!! omg, she was fantastic! (did i just fantastic?) she was freakin' good. gave our whole family goosebumps. i absolutely HATE musicals, but i think i'll have to see her movie coming out in a few weeks. it's sad how 19 entertainment can keep milking people out of their money and totally risk beating a dead horse, but they were SURE LUCKY to have kelly as their winner. otherwise, they wouldn't be doing this good. tonight's cut-off show is an hour? no way i'm watching that!

which brings me to what i'm going to be doing today: my mommy bought me "8 mile" widescreen uncensored version yesterday. (of course i was with her so it wasn't like this korean ahjumma (older woman) was @ best buy trying to ask for "8 mile". although that would have been funny.) but she did embarrass me before we left the store. we were looking for some replacement ink cartridges for our store's fax machine and i was looking around for the "fax" section. found that they don't have a fax section, but just put all the printer & fax stuff all jumbled up. anyways, me being the snobby shopper who doesn't like to ask, i walked around a lil bit, but eventually found it. but my mom wasn't satisfied. i didn't produce the goods. so she took it upon herself to go ask someone. and who did she ask? some random guy who she THOUGHT worked for best buy. yeah, he wasn't wearing the bright blue shirt and he just looked at her blankly, "uh, i don't work here". "ohh, i'm sorrrrry" as my mom's face turns bright red and she turns away quickly from embarrassment. i started to whisper in korean, "umma! gosh, i knew you would do that! you have hurried-woman-syndrome! man, u just embarrassed me!", but then i started laughing when she started to look for another best buy employee. she was getting impatient that the employee was talking with ANOTHER customer (don't we all???) so she was about to go to another section to ask. "umma! don't ask them! they don't know! that's the car audio section!" i exclaimed. FINALLY that guy stopped talking to that customer and my mom asks him...and NOPE! they don't sell the fax much less the fax replacement cartridge that we needed. all that embarrassment for nothing. which brings me back to what i'm doing tonight. i'm watching "8 mile" when i get home. i watched the "superman" video last night. O_O omg. it was gross. there's a scene where all these girls are laying down around him and they looked like "snakes", julie said. i don't think i could watch the video again. it was too much. the movie shouldn't be that bad, right? it was $14.99 yesterday. hopefully it still is so you can go get your copy! :)

i made up my mind this morning that if i get hit on again at work, i'm going to say that i have a boyfriend. i didn't think of what his name is, what he did, where he lives, or anything. i'm just going to make someone up. i don't want to be bothered anymore. maybe i sound pathetic to some of my readers out there, but i'm very fed up and don't like to be bothered. so any name suggestions for my imaginary boyfriend? how about nick? ;D (right, ann?)

dang i'm hungry already and it's only 10:50. gonna get something to munch on.

btw, did you guys enjoy the mp3 from yesterday? hopefully, you did.

song of the day: yoo seung jun - na na na. one of his best. (^.^)v

it's mind games!: ok i'm getting sick of this...

i have this co-worker who is starting to get on my nerves. first of all, when he comes by my desk, he has to either 1) scratch my head or 2) give me a massage or 3) poke me in the side. and if that wasn't enough, he HAS to see what i'm doing. so whenever he comes, i have to press the familiar "ALT-TAB" to switch out the screens. and he asks, "what were you looking at?" and WILL NOT LEAVE until i do so. well, today...well, here's what happened:

i am sitting calmly at my desk, trying to look at a website about a Christian band, mercy me, and i stupidly forget to look up and see him coming...

him: what's that?
i quickly switch screens
me: nothing
him: c'mon show me! what is it?
me: slightly annoyed it's nothing.
him: no, i saw it. is it your page? did you do those graphics? it's pretty good! how come you don't want to show me?
me: because i don't want to!
him: why not? show me!
me: no, i don't want to!
by this time, i was raising my voice VERY slightly. but i was pissed off.
him: c'mon. hurry up. show me.
me: why? why do you have to see it?
him: why are you hiding it from me?
utterly frustrated, i just switch the stupid screen.
him: wow, that's nice graphics.
me: ...

here's the website that he kept asking for. now tell me what i am supposed to do. this co-worker was extremely nice to me & my sister when we came. and he still is a nice person, but i don't feel like i need to show him what i'm doing. i used to feel thankful that he would take me (and other co-workers, of course) to lunch, but now i don't want to be around him anymore. and the whole touching thing? i want him to stop, but i don't know how without causing a riff between us. one of his close friends said jokingly, "joyce, you should sue him for sexual harassment" when he came over and messed up my hair a lil bit. i KNOW he will be offended if i say something and it will make things very awkward between me and perhaps his friends b/c he'll tell them like it's nothing and make me feel guilty for speaking up. i know a good way to handle all this! i quit this job, go to korea for the summer, and start that nba job that i want in the fall. how's that?

yesterday i watched about 2 hours of peter jennings on the war following the presidential address. of course, i would not want war at all, but if we have to go, we have to go. the war coverage last night was really fascinating and informative. i learned so much. i also saw that peter jennings got annoyed on national tv. he was about to cut to a story when they were suffering from technical difficulties. so then he says, "well, somebody's yelling at me to fill in 5 seconds so i will" and starts saying some filler stuff. i was like, DANG, he just showed his true self on tv. he looks like a no-nonsense type of guy. or extremely strict. maybe that's why he's twice-divorced. *shrug* anyways, there's a big discussion in the sports world on whether or not to continue sporting events, especially the NCAA tourney, during the war. if cbs chooses not to cover the games and instead goes to war coverage, they'd lose $32 MILLION PER DAY. that's some crazy stuff. anyways, i'm glad i'm not the one who has to make that decision. on espn radio, a lot service people called in and said that they needed sports coverage and the sports games as an escape from the war. yeah, us at home would probably get a guilty feeling now and then if we celebrated a team win, but we would be doing a disservice to the men & women serving our country. while everybody is entitled to their own opinion, i think the dixie chicks chick made a mistake. i'm not commenting on what she said, but it looks like she just committed career suicide. their US tour is coming up soon, i wonder if they'll suffer any harsh backlash. although i'm not really ashamed that W is from texas. and i'm not really ashamed that the dixie chicks are either.

oscars coming up this Sunday. not sure that i care about this year. probably b/c i didn't watch hardly any of the movies. i've only seen 1 movie from the "best picture" category. maybe i'm subconsciously banning it b/c korea's "oasis" didn't get nominated for "best foreign film". yeah, that's it.

gonna go get "8 Mile" on dvd today after work. only $14.99 today @ best buy!

what great players we have!

interesting article on the abundance of international players in the nba. people might wonder why i like the mavs so much. here are my reasons:

*i'm from dallas. and no, i didn't just start liking them. i've always supported anything from texas, but more so, dallas. i've known players like rolando blackman, brad davis, derek harper, etc. but b/c of the media attention that they have been receiving, it is easier to pay attention to them alot more. plus, i have alot more free time @ work where i can read up on them.
*they're the best team right now. yeah, there are alot of zone-d haters, but don't hate, congratulate! (omg, i'm being dorky.)
*they're genuinely nice guys. ask any fan. we don't got rude players. we don't got players with attitude. they're more fan and family-oriented than other teams. people might mistaken this for being soft, but do you have the best record in the league? 'nuf said.
*they look clean-cut. not many mavs have tattoos all over them which coincides with their squeaky clean image.
*mark cuban is a freakin' genius.
*AAC is one of the best arenas in the league. (so i'm told. haha)
*they play an exciting game!

alright. i'm really bored. gonna do some surfin'.

hungry, hungry, hippo!: do you guys remember this game? me & julie LOVED it!! we would beat the hippos so hard that the white marbles would leap off of the red plastic thingy. haha. but my title is in reference to how hungry i am. i think i'm getting a headache...

weekend was alright. (as you had seen from my previous posts.) last night, hanna gave me a call and i talked to her for a bit. i also got to talk to caleb & rachel which made me *tear* up a bit. i miss them sooooo much~!

*skip this part if you don't care for the mavs*: omg, yesterday's game was da bomb as all mavericks games are!! it's always entertaining to watch the league's 2 best teams. i couldn't believe how raef did an above-average performance. (that's not saying much, but for him, it is.) and of course, mah man EDDIE NAJERA did his job. yeah, he let bobby jackson get that last shot, but we won. i think one of the key playas (haha) was grif. he did such a nice job. but i can't say enough for dirk and steve. dirk was freakin' hurt, but he put da hurt on the kings with 5 3's in 5 minutes?!?! THAT'S CRAZY! and steve, oh-my-goodness-you're-so-great, nash...he's clutch. thank you. you even made eddie yell and that takes ALOT. lol. fin? you did okay. thanks for getting the rebound out to nash for the tie to OT. but you need to get to the basket more. please, get your perimeter shot back. ok, i shouldn't complain. i'm so happy~!

i got some project to do at work. testing a site. not really part of my job description, but oh well. nobody really told me what to do with it so i just did whatever. *shrug* i did apply for 2 nba jobs. we'll see what happens. seriously doubt something will, but i can try, right? sucky thing, neither one of those jobs are with the mavs. that's alright. MFFL!! plus, i'd LOVE to root them on in a different city. my goal this next season.

i was glad to see alot of the college guys back at Church this past Sunday. andrew even brought his friend, chris, again. good for him! :) and james & esther came back. glad for that. and the speaker was pretty good, too. wants to keep it under 20 minutes? i like him already. but i'm prayin' for some EM candidates. it would be freakin' awesome to have any of those we have in mind right now.

i talked my parents into getting an elliptical (spelling?) trainer. the catch? i have to pay for it first and my dad's going to watch me for a year to see whether or not i'll keep up with it, THEN he'll pay for it. he's going to pay for it? yeah and cows fly. looks like i'm going ~$300 in da hole.

eminem "8 mile" dvd comes out tomorrow. whoo hoo~! gonna go get that after work. =D
