No one tagged me but i've had such a good time reading other people's 25/20/16 things! Then i thought i'd challenge myself and see if i could come up with some things since it's not something i really think about everyday yenno? here goes!
1. i've had 2 major surgeries in my life. if you're ever wondering where i got my huge zipper scar from on my chest, i had heart surgery when i was 10 for a heart murmur. i was born with it, went away, and then all of a sudden came back. my younger younger sister vicky had the same surgery at the same age! the other surgery was for a lump in my boob. they said it would just keep growing but wasn't cancerous and that it'd be best if i just take it out. so i just did it. one other major surgery that gave me the creeps was getting my wisdom teeth out hahahahha. OMG. worst feeling ever.
2. i still get disgusted about pooping. i hate it! i hate the feeling and i feel it's so dirty =( someone knock some sense into me hahaha. i seriously can't get over it after almost 23 years. just can't!
3. my boyfriend was the FIRST guy i met in irvine altogether. he was the first guy i met in the dorms and after almost 4 years..we're still together! a lot of people doubted us but i'm so glad we made it this far. i love him to death. i guess he's my love at first sight. hahah
4. one of my favorite things everrr..everrr..are clean bedsheets! i just love the smell of them and how they feel when you put them on your bed and when they're still warm and you're all snuggged up in there. and of course waking up to the scent of yummy bedsheets in the morning!
5. which leads to this one..i have this big huge thing for smell. i don't know what it is. i love the scent of things. things that smell good of course! like food, flowers, natural scents. not things like poop. gag!
6. i'm scared of escalators. it takes me a while to get on one..and i have to be on the left side getting on always, and i'll step with one foot at a time. i guess it's because my little brother (or was it my cousin?) fell down a set of escalators when he was 5 at a toy store (who puts escalators in toy stores..helllloooo idiots..toy stores = kids?!).
7. i know this is going to sound weird..but im afraid of people with red/orange hair. im not being a racist to people with red/orange hair and i definitely don't hate them..it 's just i get very stressed and have a very high anxiety level when i see people with red/orange hair cuz that shit reminds me of chucky the doll/the killllller. sldkfskldjf;sld gives me the creeps thinking about it!! shivers.
8. i have this thing called an expense tracker. i basically write down all the money that comes in and everything that i spend it on..in an excel sheet. im a fuckin nerd i know. hahaah. but i can never trust the wellls fargo site cuz it's not accurate and up-to-date most of the time. with this tracker, i know exactly how much i have and what i'm putting my money towards. i even catgorize all my spendings and make pivot tables to show what percentage/how much i'm spending in each category. then i write how much and what i spend on each paycheck, save all the receipts, and staple it to a copy of my timesheet and put it in my personal finance folder for my records. wow..i feel like a nerd beyond maaax. hahahah. oh yeah..after thousands of $s in debt..i'm now debt free!
9. i've never broken a bone in my body! knock on wood.
10. i love to clean clean clean. it relieves a lot of stress that i have. but, the kind of cleaning i like..is like..cleaning things until the space is clear. i hate clutter! look at my cube, my car, and parts of my room. they have massive empty spaces! things just have to be hidden to look "clean" for me. i also like cleaning countertops and toilets and vacuuming my car. hahah
11. besides loving to clean, the one thing i CANT get myself to do everyday is PUT MY CLOTHES AWAY!! i find THAT a hassle and i hate it. so that's the only thing that really causes clutter in my room.
12. things that i constantly crave are..charp chae, sushi, thai food, and sandwiches. i will mention one of those items at least 4 days out of the week. only once in a blue moon will i actually go out and get it. oh something else, i never crave sweets. i actually crave the salty, sour, spicy, and pickly foods. im a sucker for food and trying new things and foods that are extremely flavorful.
13. i really want to get my boobs done. but i told myself (and pray haha im just saying that) that when i get pregnant, my boobs will get bigger and that i won't need to get them done. but if they don't get bigger..i'll definitely want to get some. i'm not looking for huge ones..just ones that actually look "normal" for a girl my size. like big B's or even just B's hahahah. but i heard you have to re-do that shit every 10 years. not sure if i'm down for that.
14. so i don't smoke. anything. i've tried it, but i've hated it! i can count how many times on my hands that i did. my aunt just told me that she heard i was a pot head. now some of you guys are going to crack up pretty hard cuz..me???? a pot head??? that's like..not in a million freakin years!! i just thought that was so funny. cuz if you're going to talk..at least get the facts straight and not choose something so random to tie me to. i barely drink!
15. i would love so much to beat some sense into a bitch one day.
16. i'm really afraid of the future or what's going to happen in the next 2-5 years! if you think about it.. it's the year we all turn 23..and then sometime..you're going to have to find a stable career/job, get engaged, married, get your own home, and have kids. ummm..those are all life-changing situations. and shit's gunna happen soon! how scaaaaary!! oh yeah, i have to fit business school into there too! it's something i've always wanted to accomplish in life! i love school =)
17. i can't leave anywhere without my vase-line. it's vaseline lip therapy but the world knows i call it vase-line!
18. i adore kids. i always have! i remember the kids first days where i would stop by cabello and tutor/help out/play with little kindergarteners and 1st graders, etc. plus being the oldest in my family, i feel like i took on some responsibilities in taking care of my younger siblings. i've learned a lot about caring for a baby especially since my little brother came out and i'm almost 10 years older than him! i want to have 4 kids just like my parents did, and 2 of them to be twins!
19. i played the piano for 8 years but barely know how to play. i never took it seriously back then and i extremely regret it! i want to start playing again but learn how to play alicia keys and john legend, etc. songs! and sing along tooo =) cuz i love singing even though i'm not good at it. haha. oh yeah i played the clarinet in middle school too!
20. because i love to curl my eyelashes so much..i'm missing a lot of them on the inner part of my top eyelid on my right eye. i've been only putting mascara to work everyday and not curling them so that they can grow out again. i only now curl them on special occasions or when i go out! oh yeah, i have this new obsession for benefit make-up. i love natural-looking make-up!
21. umm..i'm afraid of birds. actually i just hate birds altogether. i've never really had good experiences with them. i hate things that fly such as insects, bugs, whatevers. they always get stuck in my hair. ALWAYS!! if i see something that flies coming towards my way, i will assume it'lll get stuck in my hair and damn..it usually never fails!! hahah i know. so weird!!
22. if you've lied to me before, and i found out, i will never forget it. ever. i'll forgive, but will never forget.
23. i find myself to be an extremely nice person..but just throughout college i've learned to be the biggest bitch ever! i guess i was just put into situations where i kept getting stepped all over and got fed up with it. i finally did something about and now i can be a pretty good bitch if i need to be.
24. althought me and my sister look tons alike, we are NOTHING alike! we are actually the complete opposites. and we have extremely strong personalities that clash like no other, giving us no choice but to fight and argue about our beliefs, all the damn time!
25. my middle name is kim chi. everytime i mention it or someone sees it on my liscence theyre just like..your middle name is kim chi..like the PICKLED CABBAGE?! like the korean fooood?! i'm just like..heeh..yeaaah..but NO. cuz i'm not korean. it's a viet name and it means something totally different. like..gold or golden tree branch or something like that hahaha.
until then!

hellllooo...the emptiness in me..solved.
I guess i should be thankful for where i am in life right now because so many other people are struggling to get jobs or even starting their careers. but, i found that having a full time job right out of school and not having time to myself to travel, do what i want to do, etc., is really depressing! it has been so sunny this past week and here i am, stuck in an office, working. i miss having the freedom to be outside in the daytime, smelling the fresh air as i walk to class, or just plain chilllin when i can. i guess what im trying to say is that..i miss school and im not ready to be stuck in this 8-5 repetitive i-want-to-shoot-myself-for-being-so-routine schedule.
i miss having the flexible schedule and getting off class early and being able to choose if i want to go to class or not. with work, i have no choice but to get up at the same time everyday and leave work when the sun's already setting. i asked my co-workers how they do it..but they say they're just so used to it since they've been working for a while now. for me, i really find it hard to deal with and it's what has been bugging me ever since i've been back to work. during the company shut down, i realized how much i miss life before working full-time. i miss spending all day with my baby, going on adventures, or just sleeping in until past noon. i miss being able to drive to random places, running errands when no one else is, just having the freedom to CHOOOSE what I want to do at the moment. i'm so miserable right now!! and it's crazy because i really should be happy because i've accomplished so much getting this position.
of course, i am thankful. i just look at the situation..as..well..more positively than i feel. the ups of working is that i guess i have the opportunity to save for my future..save for my own place that i've always wanted...and get experience for business school (something that i'm dying to accomplish in my lifetime within these next 3-4 years). i've also been able to get a start on my career, since i'm doing accounting right now. but geeeez..why do i feeeel like this? it's driving me nuts. and what's crazy is that my position is temp and i have no way of getting days off of work so that i can enjoy whatever's out there or even time for myself.
i miss irvine. <-- the best years of my life so far <3
until then..

i like how when im either in the shower or getting ready for work, i run all these topics i can write about in my blog..but then forget what to actually write about. hahah i'm such THE nerd. i guess i should just go with the flooooow eh? ehhh?
so last saturday kim was back in town so we went to tiff's place to do some hot potting on our own! it was really fun and delicious. there was sooo much food! it was tiff, kim, mare, me and two of kim's friends. danica came by for a little bit also! we had some beef, seaweed, fish paste, fish balls, bok choy, spinach, cabbage, shrimp, mussels, and mooooore! it was so fun, and healthy i might add. thanks tiff for letting us use your place =) it was definitely nice catching up with some of the girls since i haven't seen any of them in the longest time since i've been home. that's something i need to work on: my relationships with my girlfriends. anyways, now im in the mood to go karaoke-ing since im not coughing every other second anymore! let's go! oh and then we played a little rock band. i only played the drums once. i wish i couldve sang but i don't know too many of the songs! hahah
so last night i missed 90210 and privileged (i know. nerd status again) to watch american idol. im pretty glad i watched it because some of the people are really amazing! but then again, we got to see the funnnny ass people who think they can sing. i always love how theyre so..ambitious? whats the word..not sure what it is. can't find it.
anyways, congrats to my baby! he's taking his first steps in becoming what he's always wanted to be: a cop. he has his tests next saturday so let's wish him some luck (even though he doesn't need it at all!). i know it's so ironic how i freakin hate cops cuz of everything that i've been through growing up and the person i'm madly in love with..wants to be one. craaazy shit. i never thought i'd ever be ok with it, but from his point of view and why he's doing it, i totally support him. i guess cops don't always have to be dicks, it's just what they have to do sometimes. but as for the danger factor..im frightened. i don't want to be a widow =( i just tell him to be safe if he gets this job. i really love him so of course i'm going to be ok with it and support him fully. if not, that really shows.
anyways..back to work!

here i am sitting in my cube..not getting any work done. i've decided to make another blog! i've been wanting one for a long time but could never get myself to actually make one. today i feel an emptiness in me. I'm not sure what it is or why i'm feeling this way but it's really driving me off the wall. i don't think i can concentrate while in this state of mind. i think i just really need a day to myself so i can reflect on this past year (which i haven't been able to do yet) and i actually do make it a point to give myself this time before the beginning of a new year. i feel like there's no direction in my life right now since i haven't made my new years resolutions but haven't had the time to actually sit and think them all out. not writing out my expenses have also been making me feel like my life is not organized right now. something i can't really stand. i guess i can start again once my first paycheck for the year comes! well this is just jibber jabber. im so afraid i won't have anything to write about since i only work full time and there's not much excitement in my life. well i guess this is it for now. until then..
