Dear Blog,
Wow, I guess it did take me a year to come back to update you. So many things happened since the last time I've updated you. Lets start with the basics, I turned a quarter of the century and the year 2014 started.
2013 wasn't a bad year, if I had to say so myself. I tried the whole lets write something every day so I can look back into every entry at the end of the year and have something to remind me what the year was like. Like I said last year, didn't happened. Lolx not really surprised, should have expected something like that from myself X] Also tried the lets take a picture that highlighted my day every day, nope the life span of this also ended in a few months. Hey, at least it lasted longer than the diary stuff X]
Didn't travel much for the first couple of months of the new job. Then I asked for a week of vacation for the annual family & friends vacation that I take every year. West coast road trip for the summer of 2013 - LA, San Diego, and Vegas. Had a ton of fun, glad that both Andy and I were able to take our vacations since both of us started working only a few months into our new jobs. Met up with a friend of mine that was staying in LA for half a year for an engagement that his company had placed him on. Actually, this was my second time in LA. Revisited some touristy spots and went to a few new spots that I didn't see last year.
Spent Fourth of July in San Diego. It was pretty amazing. We stayed at the Westin in downtown and the view from our room was amazing! We also had a balcony that led onto the roof. We spent the night on the roof deck watching the fireworks, the view was just spectacular! The sky didn't look as hot after the fireworks, or should I say clear X] Have to admit, San Diego is a pretty small place. I was honestly expecting a little bit more. Ooo and we hit up the San Diego Zoo before leaving and heading to Vegas. Man was it hot!!!
We saw so many broken down vehicles on our way to Vegas. I've never in my life saw signs of turning your AC off in the car cause of the hot hot weather. Our windows were also burning from the heat! Vegas turned out to be pretty much the same kind of routine every time we went. Shopping, walking around, eating, and watching shows. Unfortunate for us as well as the acrobatic lady that fell to her death during a performance, we were not able to watch KA. I guess it was definitely more unfortunate for her, at least for us, there were other shows to choose from, but shouldn't these things be safe to begin with??? I highly doubt that somewhere in their contracts state "possible death maybe occur during performance."
On a lighter and happier topic, I went to Boiling Crab for the first time of my life!!! Lolx it was a big Big BIG mess hahahs both mommy and daddy was saying, how can ppl eat with their hands like this, if ppl in the old days were to look at us now hahahs. Of course happy and fun times go by in a blink of an eye, soon enough it was time for us to go home and I had to go back to work. After getting back from my vacation, it was constant traveling for me at work. Oh did I mention, that included another two more trips back to LA for work??? Of course it wasn't as fun as it would have been if it was all fun and games and not work. Never in my life have I've gotten sooo tanned. This summer, I became darker than my bestie and her complexion is shades darker than mine!!! My mommy made fun of me and said I looked like a roasted duck lolx
The traveling finally stopped in December. Have to admit all the traveling is taking its tolls on me. My 25th crept up on me before I knew it. The first year that I had to spent it alone since I was out on a job. Such a bummer 25th, wished it was tons better since its a capstone in my life, I mean how many quarter of a century may one turn before their death??? Must admit, I got pretty bitter about it. Esp. since my mother made plans to celebrate it with me but she completely disposed those plans on the day we were suppose to celebrate. Not the happiest birthday of my life, to be honest, this might have been the saddest one that I ever had since I could remember.
2014 finally started, and the year couldn't have been any worst. So many bad and unfortunate things happened in the span of the first three months. The cake topper of all the crap that was happening and had happened, was the delivery of the news that a childhood friend of mine had passed away in a car accident. The news had hit me hard. Reality started spinning and denial begun. Nobody expected it to happen, esp. not to him. His wake was actually on Valentine's Day. After the burial ceremony, all of us realized how short life can be, how important it was to make the best of every day we have, and how necessary it is to keep in connect with those who matters to us. It sucks that it take something like this to happen to gather us all together.
On a lighter note, through a chain of events that happened because of the situation, I happened to run into a friend of mine that was back from service for his vacation the Friday after. And the next day, he set me up with his buddy. I would have never imagine that he of all ppl would do such a thing. Soon after, my three week vacation to HK finally kicked in. I told myself that this vacation is going to be the turning point of 2014 for me. Enough with the bad luck and all good things from there on out. Hey, I'm making a trip to the other side of the world and then coming back, time for luck to turn for the better don't you agree? I certainly do. The vacation was UH-MAZING!!! Went back to HK, visited 大理, 廣州, 深圳, and a few places around the 深圳 area. The trip was full of self pampering sessions, shopping, and of course eating. It was definitely the life of royalty lolx I didn't wanted to come back X]
The three weeks felt sooo short, soon enough I was back and working again. How miserable I felt and feeling. They're killing me with work and to top that off, they're scheduling jobs for me with insufficient time to complete it, so that means I'm hauling butt to finish the darn jobs. I'm sick of these more than 10 hour days and did I tell you, no overtime pay since I'm on salary, and to top it off, they took away all comp days!!! I was that close to buying my own return ticket back to Chicago and quitting on the spot! Oh life!

Almost a Quarter of a Century
I'm back!!! After two years hahs... I guess you can expect something like this from me, I guess I was never the type to keep up with a diary, journal, or much yet a blog. In the beginning of this year, I did attempt to start an electronic diary on my personal laptop, but after the first two weeks, the posts suddenly stopped...
A lot has happened within the last two years. For starters, I'm finally a college graduate!!! One chapter of my life have finally reached its ending and another has started. I do admit that it has been scary, not knowing what tomorrow may hold, especially when the last twenty years or so have always been a known routine. Elementary school, high school, then college. There has always been a new known goal that serves as a compass in each chapter of my life, now in this new chapter, I have nothing to steer me. From the deepest corner of my heart, I really have no idea what to do...
Looking around at the people around me, it seems like everyone know what they want and where their life is leading them. More than a handful of them are married, and a portion of those married already have children of their own. Seeing them creating a family of their own, makes me wonder, when is it my turn. It seems like a far-fetched thing to me that would never happen. Besides the family aspect, my career path is going nowhere, well, I take that back, if this was weeks ago, I could have said that but some good news, I'm starting a new full-time job this Thursday. It's not with a big fancy company with out of the world salary and benefits; honestly, I don't even know what are the benefits. But this is something, something to jump start my career path. Maybe in a few months I can proudly say, I have my career going for me.
I do miss school life once in a while. Well, not all aspects of it, just the ones where it does not include exams, term papers, and the pain in the behind stress. I miss seeing my friends and miss having free time to have a life. Maybe I am getting old, there's been times when I am with some of my friends where I say or think about, remember the old times when we used to do this or that and a smile would naturally creep up from the corner of my lips just reminiscing about those good ole times. Lolx big sign of age there huh? Hahs...
My love life has gone nowhere if I have to sum it up. There was someone, but it was most like a mirage in a cold winter's day. The longing to have someone be there to catch me. Nothing started so nothing has ended and there shouldn't be any type of disappointment. My best friend sent me a picture of an article she was reading about winter flings that reminded her of me, but I don't even think that applies to my situation. If I have to use words to describe what happened, I would have to say a game of being chased and chasing. No matter how nicely one would put it, our values were different, our needs were different, our views were different; those would just be an excuse to cover up what really was a game of wanting what we can't have and ignoring what we can have.
I think B.T. is right, relationships is just another word for games. And after the conversation I had early today, it doesn't seem like love is part of a working successful marriage. So why do I still naively believe in true love??? I think I'm just hopelessly lost in my own world of fairy tales.
Anyway, this year marks my turn at reaching a quarter of a century. I can only hope, believe, and wish hard that something magical is waiting to for me around the corner.

I Can Smell Spring Break
Dear blog,
Yep, it's that time in the quarter again, finals. Lolx I find it kind of funny my first post was during finals week and now when I randomly come back on to update you again, it's finals weeks as well. Since my last entry, many things has already happened. I don't even know where I should begin with everything...
I think I'm going to start with my fraternity stuff...
I finally had my first Little!!! And she was awesome, and even better, she made it! After COH we had a huge party to celebrate for the new brothers on making it at three of the brothers' apartment (they all live in the same apartment). Again, CONGRATES to the new brothers!!! You guys made the cut and earned the name! ^_^ I attended my first PBLI leadership conference, and participated in the Case Competition. Although, we didn't win, it was still a great experience. During the conference on Pride Night, I happened to run back into a friend from high school. I haven't seen him in FOUR years already! Little did I know that he's part of the same fraternity and he is also the president of his chapter. I have to admit, people do change and their changes does surprise you. But not only did I run back into him, I also ran back into another friend from high school as well because of the fraternity. This world is actually pretty small when you look at it. That reminds me when I said this phrase a year ago...
Yep, it's has been a year since SU Aboard. Last year at this time I was enjoying my time aboard in HK and I believe it was around this time last year when I gotten my first highlights! Lolx oh life away from the parents are so awesome and freedom full!!! I honestly miss my time there, not just the freedom and living away from the clutches of my parents and the stress and drama of my life here in Chicago, just everything over there in general. My roomie is was lucky, she's heading back again for like two weeks. When bringing up my roomie, my brother would always ask me, hey how is it that your friend there has scored her a hot investment, but you on the other hand has scored nothing? Lolx I want to know the answer to that question too. I guess, it still isn't time yet I suppose. Yeah, I've totally decided to just let destiny take it's toll with my love life...
This quarter actually went by REALLY fast, probably it was because of the crazy snow storm we had. Oh yeah, I finally in my twenty-two years of life have gotten Chinese New Years off in the States!!! Hahas the snow storm was God's gift to me, it landed me a good six day weekend from school!!! Crazy huh? Well yeah, it's been a tough quarter as well, and I guess from here on, it'll only get harder...
Oh and I chanced upon a Taiwanese Drama titled 死神少女, it's interesting enough, but I can never link the English title to it's Chinese title, what does the Angel of Death have anything to do with Gloomy Salad Days??? Yeah, weird right? My thoughts exact. Supposedly, the stories in the drama are based on actual events. I think it's pretty sad if it is all real, of course I mean minus the Angel of Death part, but the stories itself, they're all about deaths linked to bullying, misunderstanding, social out-casting, and other things...
On a lighter note, one of my brothers wants me to blog about him and our tough love lolx our relationship is straight up hilarious. If you didn't know us, you'll probably think we've known each other since forever because of how we act towards one another, but no, we've known one another for well almost six months. Sometimes, people just click together. Talking about friendships, one of the classes that I'm taking this quarter is about friendships, it's actually not bad...
Oh yeah! Speaking of this class, so each of us were required to do a different topic of friendship as a research topic and present it to the class. My topic however became a very interesting topic but yet an awkward topic for me as well, "FWB" short for Friends with Benefits. As awkward as the topic was for me to do, it scored me a hundred percent!!! Hahas and based on statistics from actual studies, these relationships aren't half as bad as people think. Only twenty-five percent of these relationships ends up in disaster, well you have the other seventy-five percentage to look forward too, lol not that I'm promoting these sort of relationships but statistically speaking, it is what it is...
I think I'm just going to wrap up this post with my last thoughts, I'm actually going to do something this spring break! I'm going to drive down to SLU and Mizzou with my cousin and a few to visit some friends and family. I'm super excited!!! I can totally feel spring break already, since I'll be done with in class finals tomorrow or should I say in twelve hours...加油!!!加油!!!加油!!!

Going Down Memory Lane
In the passed two hours or so I happened to go through a pile of old things that were put away quite a while ago. There were old Christmas and Birthday card, even a Valentine and Sweetest Day card too. There were tickets to memorable shows, plane ticket stubs from my different trips, post cards from Spain, and other things too. I started reading letters, cards, and whatever it was that was in the box. It brought back old memories, the nice ones of course. Letters and cards from old friends that I don't even communicate or keep in touch with anymore. Remember when we were little and said forever and always?? Forever and always doesn't seem to happen that easy or that often.
I've even dug back out a letter I received back in 2003 from a friend in North Carolina. I've lost contact with him years ago, I really wonder how is he doing now, I remember we use to talk on the phone for hours and hours and all of a sudden, we've stopped. What's even more humorous to me is that along with his letter that he sent, I found a letter that I had written to him but never gotten a chance to mail out.
But of course, remembering all these happy times also led to those heart shattering memories. Is it really possible to just remember all good times and not the bad? The whole forgive and forget thing, is it just forgiving and really forgetting? I don't know, so much feelings and emotions are going through my mind and body. I don't know, this entry was just for me to ramble on and put a piece of my mind out there.

Beginnings of the Holidays
So since finals ended, I've managed to visit my old elementary school along with my eighth grade teacher and vice principal. It was cool, haven't been back in a while already, I remember back in my high school years, I used to go like at least three times a year, but now I rarely have the time for it. I've been meaning to go back since forever, so it was nice.
Some of the grades from my classes got posted already, thus far, they're alright, except one but I expected something like that already but still disappointed. I shouldn't be thinking about school anymore, I'm on winter vacation, should just learn how to let go and relax and let the past be history. Nobody can change history anyway, so I'll just let it go and wait for my other two grades to post, hopefully, they're what I expect them to be.
Thanksgiving was interesting, after midnight, one of my friends asked me to join them at a house party (it was more like a handful of us getting together to chill).Word of wisdom, don't drink on an empty stomach, I learned my lesson of drinking on an empty stomach the hard way. Yeah, I got totally wasted, the first time in my life! It was not pretty, everything that I remembered doing was so humiliating/embarrassing. Aiishhh...the hang over afterward wasn't all that nice either...my head was pounding, my stomach was churning, my body was feeling all ache-y...never again, never again...yeah the morning of, I was still throwing up, and of course since I didn't have anything else to throw up, I ended up puking stomach acid, yukky is correct, blaa! Oh and my mommy didn't make the experience any better, she was b*tching the whole morning! I gotten so tired of her screaming, so I ended up leaving the house with my cousin before her, so we could have gotten a table for 點心 before my aunt and her family arrived. Anyway, brunch was 'eh, the 點心 wasn't like superb and service was below average, but whatever, it was the holiday, so I guess I understood the "Sorry, we're short on hand today..." Oh yeah, my cousin, Kassidy's baby is soooooo adorable!!! Almost cute enough for me to want one too but just not yet, hehes, when I'm ready. Anyway, dinner that night was horrible though, we went to a restaurant that used to be good (obviously, since it was disgusting), long story short, horrible horrible service, and every dish that came out tasted burned.
Carrying on, somehow my parents gotten a hold of "Stairway to Heaven" dvds with Mandarin dubs. So we started watching it. In the beginning, I didn't know what the drama was, but it just seem super familiar to me. Later on it dawned on me, when I decided to google it, to confirm my believe. And yep, it was "Stairway to Heaven." Thus far, I don't think it was as sad as "Heaven's Tree" or "Tree of Heaven" whichever you prefer to call it. I'm waiting for the climax to hit! ^_^
So today, I've also met up with a few of my friends from elementary school. It's funny how everyone has grown up already. I remember when we were still back in elementary school, those were the worry-free days, except during big national exams or when we were applying for high school =] Yeah, it was us girls and a guy, two of them were considered to be my best friends in some point of my life back then, I just feel that we're just so distant now, how unfortunate. Oh yeah, did I mention that the guy was my crush back then X] Lol I was so immature back then, I had no idea what "love," "puppy love" was what it was lol But it was nice to see them again and to just sit around, having a drink, and chatting and catching up with each others' lives.
Yeah, that's it so far, I'm going to start working full time at the jewelry store starting Monday, it should be fun. Oh, and I've been questioned by quite a few ppl already on the topic of my love life. I just don't have one now, and the next one hasn't shown up yet I guess. Maybe he'll appear soon enough, and maybe he'll be "The One" lol I'll keep on dreaming, maybe I'll see my Prince Charming in my dreams lol I'm so stuck in fairy tale land lol well, this was a long post, keep at it guys, (I mean life when I said it ^_^) 加油!!!

And yep, it was "Stairway to Heaven." Thus far, I don't think it was as sad as "Heaven's Tree" or "Tree of Heaven" whichever you prefer to call it. I'm waiting for the climax to hit! ^_^
So today, I've also met up with a few of my friends from elementary school. It's funny how everyone has grown up already. I remember when we were still back in elementary school, those were the worry-free days, except during big national exams or when we were applying for high school =] Yeah, it was us girls and a guy, two of them were considered to be my best friends in some point of my life back then, I just feel that we're just so distant now, how unfortunate. Oh yeah, did I mention that the guy was my crush back then X] Lol I was so immature back then, I had no idea what "love," "puppy love" was what it was lol But it was nice to see them again and to just sit around, having a drink, and chatting and catching up with each others' lives.
Yeah, that's it so far, I'm going to start working full time at the jewelry store starting Monday, it should be fun. Oh, and I've been questioned by quite a few ppl already on the topic of my love life. I just don't have one now, and the next one hasn't shown up yet I guess. Maybe he'll appear soon enough, and maybe he'll be "The One" lol I'll keep on dreaming, maybe I'll see my Prince Charming in my dreams lol I'm so stuck in fairy tale land lol well, this was a long post, keep at it guys, (I mean life when I said it ^_^) 加油!!!

Thus Far in November...
23rd Anniversary of CA Jewelers!!! Congrates!!!
Today was a lot of hard work. Our event turned out great! There wasn't as much sales as I expected but it was fun and tiring as well. The day started off kind of bad since my co-worker's car got rammed into by a 盲毛 (Chinese slang for a blind idiot, but not literally blind) when he swung by to pick me up. The nerve of the lady to rush us cause she was pressed for time, I mean come on lady, so are we! We have places to be, people to see, and things to do. Furthermore, it was obvious your fault for being dumb.
Moving on, I didn't think it'd be so cold today, I was freezing my butt off. Luckily, I brought my comfy sneakers with me, if not I'd die running errands to pick up stuff for my boss. But I'm definitely beat from today's activity, how much I wish I could be in bed already but nope, I have a marketing final tomorrow and I had to take care of some last minute things. How much I hate it when people tell me to do last minute stuff, I mean hello? I obviously have a life and that's what my schedule is for, to manage my time wisely to get what I need to get done. How am I suppose to fit you in when I'm completely full? Thus, I'm still up doing whatever it was that I had to do, but on the bright side, I finally have the chance to sit and check out 飛輪海's (Fahrenheit) new album, "So Hot" I have to say it is different from their previous albums but I still like it (at least some of it) but then again, you can't expect to like every track on every cd from your favorite singers right?
November 9th marked the tenth year of my 二 舅's death. I can't believe it's been ten years already. I still remember that night when I received the news. It completely broken my family down into pieces, especially my mom. Even thinking or talking about it now still brings tears to my eyes. May karma find itself to the one responsible for taking you away from us and your life away from you. 二 舅 you will be forever alive in my memories, I know you're watching over all of us from above, may you continue to rest in peace.
On another note, finals are starting this week and continuing onto next week. My first one is in exactly thirteen hours. This totally adds onto my hatred to the month of November...sighs* anyway, wish me luck for the busy days ahead! 加油! 加油! 加油!
