5. I enjoy just hanging out at someone's house with good company more than going out to a place where there are a lot of people around.

haha I'm not sure if that even makes sense to anyone. Anyways, a lot of times I find myself being more excited to hang out at someone's house with my closest friends than going somewhere. Let me clarify why! I was thinking about it, and I think the reason is that I miss high school. Some people might be asking me why I miss high school. I miss high school not because of the classes, but mainly the fact that you get to see all your friends every single day and you don't get sick of them. You get to do everything together. That does sound kind of weird and clingy BUT I DONT MEAN IT THAT WAY AT ALL. I just miss it. To compare the two, I would way rather prefer a nice summer night at Steph Lo's or Stacey's house to go swimming than sit at AU79 (no offense to you kiddos) LOL I love playing Cranium at anyone's house. Well, don't get me wrong, going out can always be fun, but at the same time it can be potentially disastrous. So, staying in with your favorite people takes the cake for me.


Sadly, I didn't have a lot of time this week to update. Therefore, I didn't get to have a new "Friend of the Week" this week! I'll have one up by this weekend or I'll post two for next week. We'll see, but next week will be freakin Week 9 already. THAT IS NUTS. I'm going to have to try really hard to force myself to do all the reading I can because I know I won't be doing any of that next weekend. ;) *hint hint* haha if any of you know what that means. I feel like this update is really boring. It's Friday night, and I am at home. Yes, home sweet home. I won't talk too much about it though because Steph and Jeff might get too jealous and then be angry with me. I'll just brag a little bit that tomorrow is supposed to be 80 degrees. BUT partly cloudy. So I guess that's the down side of tomorrow. It will be a busy day and hopefully I'll have a nice picture to post from my little sad phone.

I really want a puppy. And with that I will leave you with this image:


How can you not fall in love with that face and that soft fur? I wish I had one. My cousin and his wife just got that little cutie, and his name is Cooper. I'm so jealous!!!

Making smart decisions aren't my expertise. This feeling sucks. UGH.

4. I like college football over NFL, but I like NBA over college basketball.

I don't know why, but I just like NCAA Football. Seems more fun and exciting to me. NFL doesn't really tickle my pickle and I don't really know that much about the NFL teams. I do watch the Superbowl though, mainly for the commercials, and I just root for the underdog. Poor Cardinals :[. Anyways, I don't really follow college basketball, NBA just seems more exciting. Maybe because of all the crazy players and the excitement of it all. I have to admit, I didn't like the Lakers at first, but I GUESS they have grown on me. Houston used to be my team because because I loveeee TMAC. But now, these are the teams I root for
NBA: Los Angeles Lakers
NCAA Football: USC Trojans



VALENTiNE'S DAYYYY
It was a nice Valentine's day indeed. The sun was shining, but it was a bit chilly. I semi-got ready and then went over to Jeff's house to finish. Our dinner reservation was at 4:30pm at the Ruth's Chris in Irvine, meaning we had to leave at 3:30pm at the latest in order to get there on time. SO WE DID and good thing we did. We did encounter a bit of traffic and when we got off the freeway, we got a little confused but got there just a little before 4:30. We pull into the parking lot and see all these nice cars so we decided to park Jeff's car in the corner where no one can see it. HAHAHA just kidding!!! There were some crappier cars that Jeff was making fun of and I felt bad for them. Anyways, it was our first time, but thanks to a friend of Jeff's that has been there before, we had a small idea of what to order. I don't have pictures of the main foods because Jeff wouldn't allow me to embarrass him. :(

We ordered the Porterhouse for Two which consists of about a two-inch piece of meat with the bone in the middle. The beef on the two sides of the bone were two different cuts but, don't ask me what they are. I'll just tell you they were delicious. THAT is served with a teaspoon of butter on a 500 degree plate. I'm guessing that is to keep your food hot, or cook your meat a little bit more. We ordered Medium, but it came a bit more pink than I expected but it was SOOO GOOD. With that we also got a side of their potatoes Mashed and the Creamed Spinach.

THEN WE ALSO HAD DESSERT. I always have room for dessert. Here it is!!! Delicious Creme Brulee with Berries and Mint Leaves. I meant to take a picture of it before, but then I got too anxious and took a few bites out of it before I remembered. Usually Creme Brulee is just a nice little pudding custard, but this was the best Creme Brulee I've ever had! The sugar on top was nicely browned and not burnt. Even though the berries seemed sour, I think if it came without them it would be a really plain dessert.

After dinner, we picked up little Shelley bean from her apartment and then headed back to LA. When we got back to his house we hurried to turn the TV on so we can watch the All-Star Dunk Contest.

Props to Dwight Howard because he had some pretty cool and crazy dunks. But my favorite dunk-er is Nate Robinson from the NY Knicks!! I remember watching him in the 2006 dunk contest and he was CRAZY. If you don't know who he is, he is about 5'7" or 5'8" in height and can jump SUPER high. He is "short" in comparison to everyone else in the NBA. People said that if Dwight Howard didn't let Nate use him in his dunk, then he wouldn't have won. BUT even if Dwight Howard agreed not to, Nate could have easily found someone just as tall and put a Superman cape aroudn him to signify D.Howard. All I'm saying is that HE DESERVED TO WIN!!

Here he is with his dunk in 2006:And here he is with his dunks this year in the final rounds v. Dwight Howard:



I like the little dance he does after. He also looks like he could be Dwight's son. haha :D Yay for Dwight being a good sport. And in the interview at the end Nate thanked Dwight for allowing him to use for his dunk. AWW! :]
I heart Nate Robinson. hahaha :)

3. I watch WAAAYYY too many television shows.

There are so many this season that I have to keep track of what shows are on what days so that I don't miss any!!! I'll list them here so you can all see how ridculous I am. :)

Desperate Housewives
Gossip Girl
One Tree Hill
The Bachelor
True Beauty
The City
Chuck
The Secret Life of the American Teenager
Ugly Betty
Grey's Anatomy
The Office

There are some others that I kind of watch on and off. I was actually thinking about it the other day.. what is going to happen when all of these shows have their season finales at the same time or just end? I don't think I would know what to do with my spare time. Time for a new job!!

Let me introduce you all to this special friend of mine named Kendrick Kevin Khoo (aka KKK). Let me tell you some interesting facts about him that many people may not know:

1. He can speak Dutch. Just ask him and he'll do it.
2. His favorite song is Turn Me On - Kevin Lyttle.
3. He has a secret collection of Barbie dolls that he claims are "his mom's". But we all know the truth.
4. He enjoys having candy bras so that people can eat them off of him. This year for his birthday he would like some candied tassles. HAHAHA

***EDIT***

since people are thinking these facts are REAL.. I'll have to put up some true facts now -_-
1. Kendrick's birthday is 4/11 which is the day after 4/10 which is Chavin's sister's birthday. LOLL
2. Kendrick has a cool car. The two cars that he has driven have both been black.
3. Kendrick has changed in high school. He was kind of quiet.. but now talks a lot. TOO MUCH.
4. Kendrick's house is really cool and big. At night it could be scary because of all the trees.
5. Kendrick's dog once got really excited it started peeing.. and then Kendrick picked it up.. and it was still peeing into the air.
6. Kendrick is very smart!
7. Kendrick is tall.
8. Kendrick is Burmese.. partially. Or to be politically correct.. he is Myanmar-ese-ish. LOL
9. Kendrick has two sisters. One older and one younger.
10. Kendrick is Khool.

*** END EDIT ***

Those are all that I can think of for now because I'm kind of tired. I can't believe that I woke up at 4AM today and got ready, drove to Annette's house to get my snowboarding pants, and then met up with others leaving to go to Mountain High at 5:30AM. Luckily when we got there it was super early, so we got really good parking, and the lifts were that crowded when they finally opened. It was a good day for snowboarding. :)

The All-Star game was tonight. With the East team's lineup I thought they were going to kill the West, BUT I was happy to hear that the West beat the East 146-119. YESSSS :) oh yea. AND Shaq was ridiculous. I don't even really know what to say about it.. so I'll just leave this:



After the meeting I had at work, I went to the newly remodeled (kind of) AU79 to meet up with my buddies :) I miss them a lot whenever we're all at school and that makes me sad :( But when we do hang out I LOVE ITTTT. I left early though because I was super tired from snowboarding. Oh yes, and I would have to say that out of the different flavors of Brick Toast that AU serves, the coconut milk butter one is still THE best.

I said I was going to update about Valentine's Day but I don't have the picture I wanted to post. So that might have to wait until tomorrow or some other day.

2. I absolutely can NOT watch scary movies.

I know a lot of people say they get scared, but you don't understand. When I watch scary movies, i start to get really nervous and then I try to calm myself down. Then, all of a sudden I start to get panic and get INSANELY scared that my heart starts beating really fast and I just can't bear to watch anymore. It has gotten so bad before, that I only watched less than 10 minutes of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and that night, I got so scared I couldn't sleep. I had a theory that maybe I could just make myself tired enough just to fall asleep. I thought I was tired enough, and went to be around 12 midnightish.. and I woke up suddenly around 3am... except I didn't know it was 3 and I all of a sudden got really nervous and scared because of what I watched. I couldn't turn off the lights and lie down without thinking about the scene in my head. Anyways, I shamelessly walked over to my parents' bedroom and asked my dad if I could sleep with my mom. HAHAHA sad I know. And my mom always gets mad at me because she knows I can't handle it. She told me to not watch scary movies anymore because those movies are dark and it's not good for my heart.

Other random scary stories:
- When I first watched The Exorcist in the theater, I could barely watch it. That night, I couldn't sleep and the next day I got fever and couldn't go to school.
- After I watched The Ring, I slept with my mom for the next week. HAHA :)

I don't like anything scary PERIOD. Sometimes I wish I could just take it and watch those things, but at the same time I don't really care and I don't really care if people make fun of me. I can't help it if i get really ridiculously scared. haha so, if you ever want to watch a movie with me, please choose something within these genres:

Comedy
Romantic Comedy
Disney/Pixar
Action
Drama (Some)

and that's about it. I'm going to update about Valentine's Day later.. because it is February 14 :)

1. If I can't hear myself talk, jibberish comes out.

Yes!! It's true. Especially if a lot of people are all talking at the same time and it's really noisy then my thoughts get really scrambled and then random words start coming out. So, if you ever encounter me in that kind of situation, you might hear me start saying something and then it will end completely off topic. And if you go "what?" then I can't repeat what I was last saying to you because I don't remember.

HAHAHA I knowwww. I don't understand it either. My last midterm is today. FINALLY!!! I don't think I have ever been so excited to go home in my life. Not only because it has been midterms week but just other things as well, and I'm not sure if it's safe to post them here. hahahah

"Chris Brown" now has a new meaning on urbandictionary.com

this one is my favorite example though:

18.	Chris Brown
	When you stomp the shit out of a girl to put her in place. To be a women beater. I Chris Browned the hell out of her after I found out she gave me Herpes.

I know no one is perfect, but it's kind of sad. What I really want to know is, why did he hit her in the first place?

meh WHATEVERR. and Lakers lost last night. but, we're not going to talk about that.

I wish I had some picture to post today.. but no new pictures unfortunately. :( I'm just going to post this one because I thought it was cute. The family living at the front of the house had this little egg-shaped santa clause that had a little motor blowing air in it to keep it looking inflated. and it lit up! So, when I came home at night, it wasn't just all dark, a bright happy santa was there to greet me :)

25 random whatever thing

I decided not to do a 25 random things about. To make my blog more interesting, I will give one random fact about myself in each post. This is to keep it interesting before I get a camera and figure out how to make my posts look normal with pictures. YAY :)

scary weather :(

I feel like the font on that last post was almost TOO small. I wonder if this one will even seem bigger. ANYWAYS!! It is 3:14AM and so the studying continues!! Isn't it wonderful? So this morning I woke up to the sound of the wind going crazy outside. No. Not the annoying alarm clock. YES. THE WIND. Makes no sense. I kNOWWW. So anyways. It was raining ridiculously hard and the wind was blowing LIKE CRAZY. The trees and bushes outside were going NUTS!!!



I tried to get some action shots of the wind and the trees but then by the time I decided to take pictures with my phone, the rain had stop, and the wind had died down. Thanks, Weather. AND, thanks phone for not rotating the picture for me. This make me look like THE ultimate
blogspot n00b. :(

but i did make this for lunch: Shin Ramyun (instant ramen) with Fish balls w/roe in the middle

There is a vendor fair this week on campus where the little sellers come to campus and have a table and sell stuff like t-shirts, sunglasses, jewelry, your name on rice, kettle corn, funnel cake, and whatever else they sell at the little things. I feel really bad for them because of the weather this morning. It must've sucked!! I didn't go to my discussion because it was too cold and windy. Wimp? Why yes, yes I am. I did force myself to go to my midterm though. Yay for me. Honestly, what kind of professor gives a midterm that consists of EIGHT 1/2 page short essay questions? Those are the worst.

Anyways it was ridiculously cold outside and thank goodness the heater at my apartment works very well. YESS :)

I feel like I'm failing at blogging right now. But, it's only my second post. Enjoy!!

ps.
I hope this satisfies you "content" wise Mr. Soomatic.

pps.
This post was Duke-inspired. <3
