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!!!

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!
Quote of the month -
