sigh...anna & the king...good movie.

3 weeks have passed. what have i done so far? i think i did do some things (read 2 books, painted a room, and worked, etc), but there always seem to lack something. i need some sparkles & some drama... everything seems to go really smoothly, not that it is good. i am just longing for something fun, something interesting, something different...

i didn't want to wake up this morning, not because of the drizzling lazy weather outside, but because i had such a good dream. ha. i felt like i was grasping for that imaginary world, trying to hold on to it, except something forcibly pulled me away from my dream (which i can't remember even the tiny little bit of it). sigh... maybe i should go to bed now and try to search for the sparkles...yes, i am still dreaming about friends in michigan, msu, etc...

human beings are a really strange kind of animals. they long for things that they cannot get (like me who want to "play" with friends and be in school), but when they finally get the things they want, they wish to get the things that they traded for. trade-off... sigh. i am so greedy. i can't always have the things i want, but i want them all at the same time! who told me to go to michigan? me, myself. well, then, the trade off is you don't get to see mom and yee that often and don't get to enjoy the beautiful scenery out here. but if i hadn't gone to michigan, i wouldn't have met all those great wonderful people in michigan! i might be here stuck in this place for the rest of my life...and thinking that many people just don't care what happens to you and becoming cynical and sarcastic. my choice... i made my own choice which i should not be complaining about. i really don't have anything to complain about other than i miss them there. this is not called "homesick" is it? (ahh...i should not get into the subject of "home" again...unless i want to make myself all depressed all over again.) is there such a word as "schoolsick" or "friendsick"? whatever, you get what i meant. don't you?

Random things at work today:
1. kimi taught me how to say "abacus" in japanese today. =)
2. Tip for storing nail polish (that i learned from a customer): put them into the refrigerator
3. Tip for doing your eyebrow (that i also learned from a customer): draw your eyebrow in then use the eyebrow gel, and the bobbi brown book says to use "eyeshadow" on your eyebrows (but really...the sound of it makes my eyebrows really heavy)
4. i drew a turtle and a flower on my hand with the MAC eye liners and the lip liners... great artistic skills here (not really). need to draw a dolphin on kristin tomorrow
5. bought pretzels for christine (i sorta bargained the 2nd pretzel because i thought the discount ends today instead of yesterday, ha, the nasty new yorker style)

the places that i really wanna go this summer (not in the order of importance): central park, 7 lakes, the indian reserve in new paltz (spelling?), 6 flags (woohoo to the rides!), ice rink (if possible?), taiwan (but impossible), michigan (unlikely during the summer vacation), yellow stone park (nah for that too), california (possibly in august), the beach (don't think that's gonna happen either), etc.

things that i want to accomplish: finish reading those 9 books & the bible (if possible), learn how to rollerblade, hang out with close friends from high school, hang out with friends from michigan (if they can come), be with mom and yee, be a good helper to mom since she's getting old, play (if that's happening)

anyways...i am going to look at some dolphin pictures to learn how to draw a dolphin now
