routine life

raising the bar


i guess i haven't been updating (ever noticed this is the first thing everybody says after they haven't updated in a while?)

nothing new is going on. uc apps are finally finished. just finished my last sat test, ever, and one more act test this friday and i'm done with the tests that determine what college i go to.

school has started to become a routine. i'm surprised it hasn't started earlier.

i need something to look forward to.

interesting peopl

i meet some weirdest people in the world at work. today i met a guy who called twice asking if he gets free soup...and he drives the new bmw. also i met a woman who orders a chicken bowl without the chicken, every single day. not only that, the world's most buff-est guy orders the california roll without the rice, cucumber, or seaweed; basically he just orders the crab meat.

people have the weirdest taste.

but there are some customers i look forward to seeing, and it's the little girl that comes in and orders crunch shrimp roll every saturday after her dance lesson.

also the strip club... gentleman's club, down the street who gives enough tip to last me for a month...in dollar bills.

heh, it's an interesting job

small world

i found out that one of my friend is a cousin of mine.
distant, but pretty close distant cousin. like 3rd cousin or something.

it's a small small world.

wonder who else is related to me.


(cute picture huh, it's a raymun world)

i don't know why, but i find this very interesting.


it's amazing how everybody is entitled to their own thoughts and opinions and people won't kill them for being different.


wouldn't it suck if people didn't have the freedom to make that choice?

black & white

i like black and white pictures a lot.

makes life so much cooler

things

so much things to do

so much things needed to be done

so much things i want to accomplish before high school ends

why do i over work myself?

maybe the world is ending soon...


WHO WANTS TO WATCH?!?!?!

miracle

my sister is going to go to morning service tomrrow.

she's going to wake up 4 in the morning.

she's going to wake up 4 in the morning. enough said.

i love

i love kids.

i think they are the cutest things ever.

not only are the kids cute, but they are hardest thing to please.

they are so honest that when they like or hate something you can see it in their faces.

they are so honest that they make me feel as if i'm the biggest faker and a liar in the world.

which got me thinking.

as we grow up, we learn how to sugar coat things in life. we learn to smile and act nice so that people will like us. we pretend to like something we hate so that people around us will feel better and you won't be a jerk for making them feel bad.

we pretend to like something for the sake of other people's feelings, which is not bad at all, i think.

but when they figure it out that we did, it can sometimes hurt them.

or

it can sometimes make them feel grateful to you.

to be honest i don't know which is right.

however i still love kids.

buy me one.

tunnels. i remember i used to hold my breath, crossed my fingures, and wished everytime we went under it. i also remember i would pass out in the middle of it when we get stuck in traffic.

but i wonder if anyone ever gave up in the middle of it and just took a breath..

i know i've been through this tunnels many times, i know it's going to be worth it at the end, but i just can't seem to see that right now

miso soup

i hate miso soup.

let me rephrase that. i hate serving miso soup.

they're hot and they burn my fingures.

they make you feel terrible when you spill it on a customer and her 500 dollar bag.

i hate serving miso soup.

on the other news, my legs are sore and tired from working 10 hours straight. i can't feel it anymore and i have a blister on my right pinky.

i also got a papercut between my middle and my ring finger from the chopstick wrapper. it hurts..

however, i got my pay check today :)

want more? ok.

soy came to see my at work today. it was embarassing.

but she made me dinner and brought it to work for me :)

smiles are contagious

for the first time ever, i gave my sister money today.
i don't know why i did, i didn't owe her money nor did she ask for some, but i just did.
maybe it’s because i received a lot of tip from work today.
whatever the reason, it was a good first step i guess.

on the side note, smile.

when you're having a pretty hard day or feeling discouraged, a simple smile and a little conversation can really change and brighten up your whole day.

as i started working at the sushi restaurant for the past month, i realized how much smiles are worth.
there are customers who come and leave right when they get their food. some just order and sit down and quietly eat. but there are always 2 or 3 who come in everyday with a smile and have a little conversation with the cashier who placed 100 dollars worth of wrong order or the delivery boy who got lost for 25 minutes finding the house that was only 2 streets down.
it makes your day at work a whole lot better and it feels worth it. it's satisfying.

and this is only at a small sushi restaurant.

Imagine what else it’s capable of.

man and women

right now i'm out of thoughts

so i shall share something i found online.

one order of Love togo please. hold the Mind, but with extra Heart on the side.

sometimes, i wish i could love with just my heart and not with my mind.

it gets in the way too much.

since it bothered me, i looked up to see what love means.

there's about 28 definition of love on dictionary.com.

way too much definition. so i resorted to the bible, and read what love is not.

....It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil ...

1 Corinthians 13:4-6 (New International Version)

have you noticed all these come from the mind?

we envy because we think. we boast because we think we're better than the other person. we're proud because, once again, we think we're better than the other person.

mind.

we think too much, and it gets in the way of the heart most of the time.

that's why i sometimes wish i could just love without thinking, and just with the heart.

it gets in the way too much. i over-think (believe it or not) situations when it shouldn't be.

life would be so much easier.

there are many situations i could blabber on about how mind got in the way, and vice versa, i can tell you when mind helped.

so in conclusion, this blog is not perfect. i can't explain what love is. i don't think i have the english skills to explain it that highly.

however, i have a pretty good understanding of it.

i feel it in my family, my friends, and God. love has been in my life ever since i was a baby, no, even before.

heart.

feel about it sometimes, it feels good to be loved and to love.

photography

it's so hard finding the perfect picture.

maybe that's why i like taking them

actors vs artists

which do you prefer, actors or artists?
personally i prefer artist. why? just a preference.
artist expresses their thoughts and feelings into their art.
i guess you can say they're more honest.
whereas an actor/actress act, hence, their title.
actors act in front of the crowd. they can be whatever or whom
ever they wish to be on stage, but an artist can't.

but opinion is just an opinion, not the truth, so please don't take this
the wrong way. i think actors are great, they have the power to bring happiness into people's lives, and i think that's the greatest job anyone can have. one reason why i think clowns are great, but maybe i'll blabber about this subject some other time.

once again this has been one of my many random thoughts that made it on the screen

(sorry no picture! can't seem to find a good one)

holding hands

have you had or held onto something for a long time?
for example; a ring, a bracelet, or maybe even someone else's hand.
and what’s the feeling we get once we lose our rings, or that grip?
it feels weird, awkward, and even... empty.

but the funny thing is, after all those complaints and frantic search for it,
sooner or later we get used to the change.

i think that's the same feeling when changes happen in life.
you have something or someone for such a long time, but when it's gone,
it's gone.

but it's interesting how we react to the change of environment. some replaces the lost ring, while others just move on without them.
how we react to the change of environment can affect us in a good or bad,
but that choice is ours to make.
the funny thing is, change -although it comes with all sorts of weird emotions and thoughts- gives us a chance to get to know ourselves better, and a chance to grow.

thanks to my sister, i decided to create, yet another, blog.
wonder how long this one will last.
