hello. I know it's been a long time. I'm not starting this blog up again, but I felt like I should post something about the previous post, in case someone stumbles onto this site.

While I remember itching to leave, I feel like what I really wanted to have was the opportunity to leave my parents' overprotective gazes. I've been in college for two and a half months, and I was at Summer Bridge for a month, and now all I can do is miss home and miss my friends and miss food.

and also, I never ended up using the mqu tumblr to blog about my summer bridge experience. I was just too caught up in it! In retrospect, it was the best time of my life. I learned so much about myself, and I grew up so much in that short month. I lived with ten girls I can honestly call my sisters, all of whom I love and miss sooooo much. I had fantastic mentors. I can't even explain how much I love Summer Bridge >.<>broadcast.tumblr.com
I've had it since...... the last day of sophomore year? haha

SD in 9 hours! :D
Well, it's been fun while it lasted.
I'll still come back to this blog to stalk you guys
But I set up some major stalkage/"social networks" in order to document and share my college experience.

and I'll be using skype (maybe oovoo if i can get the 3-way-call hacked version) for the rest of my life :) nightsies

Today was my last day in LA! omggggggggg
TY to Heather and Karen for eating with me today x)
I wish I had reached beyond my protective shell and had tried the pistachio nieve earlier! grr on my last day in LA too! so delicious! Well, hopefully I will be more daring in college. Maybe I'll have less regrets that way :)
Also saw Jennifer, Andy, Brian, and Karina today! :) Thanks for coming by! ♥
I'm not that emotional about the whole thing because it doesn't really feel real and I have a feeling it's not going to hit me hard at all. I hope I'll have a good transition, and I hope my relationship with my "high school/LA" friends will never change ;) haha!
This will be the freshest start I'm getting in school for like the rest of my life. I plan on making the most of it. I'm slightly overpacked for summer, hopefully my SB roommate won't judge me for being so materialistic :p
This summer has been easygoing and fun. This week was fun too =D I got to hang out with most of the people like I planned! It's fun when we have money, now we have to work on everyone getting cars! haha.
One of my priorities the rest of summer is losing weight! Damn did I get chubbed up or what O_O;;
lol ;)

To the people going upstate
Karen Chu, Kimberly Te, Jiaying Wu, Andy Hu, Pablo Ramirez
and Ericka Saracho who is going to Yale!
Thank you for making my high school experience such a great one ;) I couldn't have asked for better people to know! I'll miss you guys, and I'll never forget you!!!!

I had a nice summer up to this point. I got to hang out with a lot of people and explore a lot of places. This is my first free summer ever! :) And the first time I've actually had money... like a lot of it! I got like super chubby lol, I'll work it out at Summer Bridge. I just don't feel like packing right now.

My daddy is so cute. I was looking at this box of biscuits that looked like chicken fillets on the box design and my daddy's face brightened and said "That's GAI-ZAI-BENG (mando: ji zai bing)(roughly translated: chicken biscuit)!!! HEN HAO CHI!!!!! You guys don't even know!!! It is good, or else Daddy wouldn't have bought them!!!" and then he promptly opened the box and gave a biscuit to us all. xD It was very good and it's not made out of chicken and does not taste like chicken. lol

today (or yesterday, really) I went to DMV to have my picture taken for my ID. Then Alex and I went to Chano's. I asked Alex to choose between a burrito and a nacho plate (with meat!). He chose nachos. When we opened it, it was not what he expected. He was disappointed because it was not covered in melted cheese, but was really colorful with guacamole, salsa, etc etc. And meat! I assured him this was delicious. Lo and behold, he loved it :)

everyone is sucking my soul dry. i don't even know if summer bridge is worth it anymore. i hate how my dad keeps saying that he can't help with anything because he doesn't know it, and that he can only push me and remind me i have an impending deadline. thanks for acknowledging that you are worthless to me at the moment. i've already met my deadlines by myself, and now you want to go around every corner, trying to be helpful, trying to make me get an id and my driver's license when i have so much to think about, telling me to get my things together. that's really helpful.

omfg I can't wait to fucking leave. I'll feed them all the same lines he gets away with for doing absolutely nothing with my life. I'll get away from their fucking overprotective, overcritical asses. I'll get away from my little brother's angst-ridden life where he thinks he needs time to breathe by staring at the computer every fucking day even when I offer him a way to leave, because I'm just that overwhelming to him. I'll get away from my older brother's fucking mess. I can't wait until next year, when he's back and home and my parents will have to deal with all of his mess now that I won't be there to clean up and be blamed for his fucking shit. Too bad leaving means they'll leave their best criticisms for me. -_-
