Not really an update...

It's true when people say it's a small world...or, that Hawaii is a small place. I end up seeing people I know almost everyday. ^_^ (Or finding out that you had connections with people you just met!)

I can't believe a month passed since I returned from Oregon. Many don't understand why I'm taking classes during the summer, but school actually saved me. You might imagine that spending a summer in Hawaii entails me playing at the beach with friends...but the truth is, I don't see my friends that often.

We have schedule conflicts and everyone has other priorities - work, school, boyfriends. I didn't expect much because it was the same when I came back for winter vacation. And I'm not complaining either because I'm perfectly content right now. School is so much fun and although the teacher sometimes spoils us a little too much, I'm glad that I don't have the same stress I had during the normal school year. But I also get a little lazy...:P I really want to take the second session in July, but one session is already very expensive. I can't afford to continue. It makes me sad.

I can't wait to start work and start making some $$$!!! I am receiving much less financial aid this year. >_< I tried to sell things on eBay, but I only sold two items and made $1.42 total. Lame.

I feel guilty for having materialistic desires...

On a side note, I finally got to try out the Korean dramas I've been wanting to see but never had the time for:



Cinderella's Sister
The reason: Chun Jung Myun and Ok Taecyon. But the drama nearly killed me. I started watching it with Kayla during our sleepover - we saw four episodes that night and one more the next morning...it was too much angst, screaming, tears, and silent stares. Frankly, the plot isn't that interesting. I couldn't stand the two main girls. (I swear I like the guys better because their characters were not irritating - not because they're pretty. XP) But for some reason, the mini marathon made me a little crazy. I ended up finishing the drama by reading recaps of the drama from Dramabeans. The recaps are very interesting and provide some pretty deep insights (it makes me wonder if the writer or actors even thought that far...) I was glad I did this because this drama just drags onnnnn... and I was only interested in scenes when something exciting happens.



A Man Called God
The reason: Hawaii! It's funny to see the drama take place at home. But this drama is too much. Just watch the first episode and you'll understand. D:

Mom left for China. I am worried about her because 1) She did not say good-bye and 2) She was crying hysterically the night before she left. I was a little shocked when I woke up and discovered that she was gone. I want to scold her a little. :(

It's sad to say that the house is actually very peaceful without her. I've started cooking dinner! Yesterday, I made a classic Cantonese dish: Chicken with cream of corn. I also added potatoes~ very healthy. (My brother and dad didn't eat much of it.) Tonight, I made oyako donburi and miso vegetable soup. I was glad to cook because it gave me an excuse to get off my fat butt. I've been sitting in front of my laptop for four hours straight. It feels lousy.

Tonight, I should study...:)
