My boss is sooooooo sarcastically funny. HAHAHAHA. HILaRIOUS!

Given that many of you will be having Spring Break this next week, why not take some of that hard-earned free time and work additional hours for Mathnasium in the noble quest of advancing the mathematics education of our youth on an hourly wage you can barely survive on?

At our Corporate facility in Ladera Heights we have a new Center developing in response to students coming in through the No Child Left Behind federal grant program. Beginning this Sunday, all of next week, and the following Sunday, we are in need of additional staff to fill in for Tanika Evans who will be gone that week. Are any of you interested in this noble cause? Please let me know ASAP.

Dedicated to the Higher Pursuit,

Mark

This brightened my stomach flued/ throwupness day...

Dear Alice,

Today.. 2nd day of work, cept at a different location in Westwood... and I realized that kids these days are spoiled to no limit. and here are reasons why:

1. 5th grader, while I was tutoring, pulls out her moto razor b/c her friend called her and she complained "she always like to call me".. and I'm thinking "wow, your phone is better than mine by like 1000000X" Granted, she was wearing a shirt that says "I heart my daddy's credit card," obviously a shirt from Abercrombie.
2. a 7th grader was about to leave the tutoring center, busts out her pink t-mobile sidekick. There I was thinking.. "dang, I didn't even get a cell phone till 10th grade and you scored a sidekick from your parents?"
3. a 12 year old girl came up to me and asked "are those seven jeans?" and I was like "yes they are" and she went "OMG, they're so cute!" and i was thinking.. "girl, you're 12, and you know about sevens.."

What has the world come to? Oh wait, I live in L.A

LOL!!!! and it cost 18 dollars/day. Facebook claims that it'll be seen like 2048109 amount of times each day, whatever, people don't pay attention to that stuff anyways. HAHA wth.

2006-02-10T03:21:21Z

Lets see... on the midnight of 2/5/06 marked the 21st year I've been on this planet... and I celebrated with basically all the people I loved dearly: Special thanks to all of you for the phone calls, text msgs, IMs, Facebook msgs, showing up to my night out excursions.. and what not.. :)

Here is the rundown:

Part l'un: Dinner with the family @ Macaroni Grill
So.. it's been a semi-tradition in our family to take the birthday person out to whichever restaurant they want to go, so I decided to go to Macaroni Grill this year :) I picked Tokyo Lobby last time but I was craving some Italian food :) So... I went out with my family and uncle's family.

My adorable cute brother bought me a birthday card!!! My uncle told me that he took him to Wal-Mart and then my brother asked my uncle to take him to the card aisle because he rememberd my birthday was coming up, so then he picked out a card for me and wrote "Dear Alice and Love Jonathan" in the card. I swear, it was the cutest thing ever, and now it's taped on my wall :)

Part Deux: Alice in Wonderland @ Hollywood & Sunset
Since I'm turning 21, I wanted to go out bar hopping. What good of a birthday if someone has to drive us around? so... I got a LIMO! :) H2 Hummer, we partied like a rock star :). Everyone that I wanted to go to my lil sunset, hollywood excursion went! I had the FUNNEST drunken time E-V-E-R!

$384 H2 Hummer Limo
$130 Puking in the Limo
$4 Riding the bull @ Saddle Ranch Drunk
$100000000000 Alcohol
$5 Pink's Hotdog
Don't remember all that much from that night- Priceless

There are some things that money can buy, but you can't buy the memories I had for my 21st birthday w/ the ones I love. WHEE

Prior to departure

My H2 Limo! with 14 hotties :)

First stop: Saddle Ranch on Sunset.. I got to ride the mechanical bull drunk! HAHAHA

Then.. we tried going to Mood & Miyage cept my birthday was on a Sunday so that didn't work out too well :( but it's ok!!!! we went to PINK'S!

Much went on over the last 24 hours:

- 80's themed party, I looked like I came out of the 80's. it was fun :) Pictures will be up soon?
- McDs YUMM. Cheeseburgers tasted 10000X better when you're intoxicated. (and I mean, McD cheeseburgers are amazing w/o the intoxication, think about it after the substance abuse)
- Frizolie: Italian FASTFOOD restaurant in Moreno Valley with a friggen drive through line. I swear, Min and I almost had a heart failure because it was amazingly yummy AND cool! You get like the workers walking around with a basket giving you garlic breadsticks!! Um, that's j/ wayy cool (they should get one in LA, I think I'm falling in love with Moreno Valley, that town is the SH*T)
- R&R @ Angela's Nail Salong w/ Min :) har har har. yay for spa pedicures. TICKLE!
- Ontario's Mill: Failure in attempt to find Min some dopeass aviators :(
- Noodle World in Alhambra & the mouth watering mango w/ sticky rice (which I've been craving since I went to banana bay but they claimed that mango is "off season" so they didn't have it.. BoO.

In conclusion: I LOVEEE MY BF & I LOVE FOOD!

** Sounds like I've been getting fat eh? don't worry.. I will be hitting the gym shortly, and you know, that'll only burn off calories for ONE item, and... that is.. my cheeseburger.. damn gym. I hate those "calories meter" shit. I swear, you run a mile and all u burn is like a banana. LOL.. I think I burn more calories sitting and breathing or sleeping or something. HAHA

I started my day with a dead rat in the garage... or 1/2 alive, i guess. So, I was about to head out to start my car, I opened the door to the garage and I looked for my shoes and there lay a furry thing with a supurb long tail... and I was like FREAKING OUT cuz it's one thing to see a hamster dead, but a rat? and it was like maybe a softball size big rat lying under my sister's sneakers. I closed the door, and like started panicking. I opened the door again to see if it was alive, and I saw it breathing, because the abdomen of the rat was expanding and contracting.. so I was like "damn it, what the hell is it doing there lying under a shoe?!" But u see, I really had to go out, but I was afraid that it'd attack me and run around my foot or something .. so then I pulled the water sprayer thing out of the faucet, and started spraying water at it.. and it started moving... and it's head popped out of the shoe, and I was like "ok, it IS alive.. but just not moving"...

So.. to rescue myself, I called my neighbor's dad and he came over and sweeped the rat up for me... I think the rat ate poison that my dad placed around the garage and it was on the verge oe dying.. so yea. Poor thing :( I felt bad, but then I'm not all that into rats either, their tails are segmented and long and it looks like an earth worm attached to their behind!! EWWW

... ok, so that's my story with the dead rat.

I miss my friends from Taiwan :( *sniff*...

I've been feeling really emotional lately, and I feel like I've been bottling up too much emotions lately.. but going to the gym helps me relieve the tension/emotional ups and downs. When I go to the gym, listening to fast/up beat songs doesn't motivate me. Listening to sad songs does. Don't ask me why, I feel like I have more endurance when I'm sad and feeling emotional, it just makes me want to run forever.. and never stop.

Last wkend. Rosarito, Mentorship retreat. off the hook:
- Driving down to Mexico for the first time in my life.. (last time I took a cruise.. haha)
- Can't distinguish street lanes because there are really no dividers
- People getting pulled over by the cop for driving on the bike lane (HAHA.. b/c we can't tell what's what)
- Getting lost finding our hotel because there are really no legible street signs
- Yay Hi 5, we kicked ass but didn't earn our champagne :(
- Ghetto ass mattresses and gross toilets & bathrooms
- CARNE ASADA - love of my life, I think i'd go down to Mexico just to eat carne asada tacos
- Club Iggy's, fun yet the guys were disgusting
- Drunk off of our ass two night in the row
- "Smells like poverty"
- Crossing the border and the first thing we saw was COSTCO
- Took 1 hour to cross the border coming back to the states
- Creative people I got to hang out with for the whole entire wkend
- Living like a queen for only few bux. haha
- Coke tastes different in Mexico. It's like drinking syrup w/o carbonation

You know where to find the pictures. I'm lazy and it takes too much effort to put them up.

So.. after coming back to Taiwan, I've come to realize that I'm a VERY attractive individual. Yes, I'm so attractive that I have effin' like 20 mosquito bites.. >:o wtfff. I swear, I have to sleep completely sprayed with Off and wrap myself up or else mosquitos would come and bite the sh*t out of me. AH! Can't wait to go back to the states to the mosquito free land :) whee!

MmMm Oatmeal

2005-12-23T10:02:57Z

damn commercials... so yesterday I was lounging around and watching TV and suddenly an oatmeal commercial came on.. and this aint some normal ordinary plain oatmeal.. it's instant Quakers oatmeal with flavors. and no, not maple brown suger or peach (which are my favorite).. but with HAZELNUT COCONUT!! so I got tempted and went to the supermarket today and bought some.. things they come up with in Taiwan/Japan.. mann. HAHA. They even have green tea with oatmeal and milktea with oatmeal. I mean, if they've got BOBA milktea, why not OATMEAL milktea? haha. It sounds gross, i know, but it's actually REALLY good. I think I'm gonna have to bring some back to the states now ;)

Oh.. and why do I find it shady that UCLA rec center is attempting to find instructors through CRAIGSLIST?!?
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/edu/119853920.html Wth.. haha. lame.

-Blood test I was shaking because I haven't been stabbed by a needle for such a long time.. it's a foreign feeling to me
-Awkwardly laughing while needle was in my arm.. and the nurse laughed at me
-Looking like prisoners in our scrubs
-Ultra sound? weirdest thing ever
-Asian lasagna sucks ass
-Got a facial at the dermatology institute, goodbye blackheads and hello clear skin :) (I ♥ facials!)

the end...

.... even when I'm not living IN the house my cycle is the same as the rest of the girls. See what strong of a bond we have? I'm even effected 40 miles away from the house... HAHA jk.

so.. yesterday I went to D-land again.. I would like to point out that during the 50th anniversary celebration.. california adventure is beyond deserted. It's great, riding Hollywood Tower of Terror till u pee in ur pants and riding California Screamin' till u puke w/o standing in like for more than 10 minutes is pretty cool. HAHA.. well, ya, I got nauscious after 2 consecutive rounds of California Screamin'... I still get a kick out of Tower of Terror though :)

"Dreams Do Come True" firework 'spectacular' was pretty bomb. It was SOO beautiful and amazing. You can even see tinkerbell flying in the sky! GLOWING! I miss the Mainstreet Parade songs.. it's cool how the fireworks are split up into different rides/themes.. what not. Cept my favorite is still the falling wishing star looking firework... it's sooo beautiful yet simple elegance.

FOR ALL YOU LAGUNA BEACH FANS OUT THERE:

2005-12-12T07:11:35Z

OKay guys, get ready for some truth. The casts are all retards, no wonder we have so much fun looking at their drama. I think, if they ever had a class on makeout or hookup 101. they'd ace that shit.

OMG YOU GUYS: this is from my sister's best friend's sister. it's a
lot of Laguna Beach gossip. you will not BELIEVE some of this stuff!

"I went to lunch yesterday with my sister and her friend Miss K. Miss
K.
happens to work for Oprah. The other day, she was in the Harpo studios
cafeteria getting breakfast, when lo and behold, there they were -
Kristin,
Jessica, Alex H. Alex M. and Taylor. Turns out they went to school
with one
of Harpo's marketing assistants and were there as her guests for the
show.
Miss K is a huge fan and was freaking out a bit (and she doesn't even
freak
out over celebrities!) and the marketing director said she would have
the
Laguna Beach girls stop by her office before they left." Source:
Unknown

So, there they were, the LB girls and Miss K which gave Miss K a
chance to
ask some pressing questions........here is the scoop:

* Jessica is not very smart (duh!) nor very pretty in person. She is
in
community college and not doing a whole lot. Miss K. asked her if her
parents were mortified by her behavior - she said they weren't exactly
pleased. She just used Jeff (boy that was at end of season) didn't
really
like him, just wanted someone to make out with.

* Stephen and Jason are good friends and live together in LA, but
Jason is
always at L.C's. Turns out he and LC never broke up and are still
dating.

* Also, turns out Jason has some MAJOR issues - the reason he didn't
go to
graduation.......he didn't graduate. He failed his senior year. Ditto
for
Talan.

* More on Jason - he has been in and out of rehab about 3 times in the
past
year. He is also bipolar and is on some major medication. His
grandparents
are the wealthy ones and his parents don't really work -just live off
of the
grandparents.

* More on Talan - his mom used to be some actress so is pretty
well-connected in Hollywood. The engagement to Kimberly Stewart is
just a
publicity stunt - they aren't really engaged. His mom is trying to
coach him
on getting himself into the limelight.

* Stephen and Kristin are dating - they just got back from a vacation
together in Hawaii - she's not really dating that Jenner guy - another
publicity stunt. Kristin is trying to "make it" in Hollywood.

* Taylor is at school at the University of Arizona.

* Alex H. and Alex M. are roommates. Alex M. is trying to make it in
the
music world and Alex H. dates a guy in Alex M.'s backup band.

* Another tidbit - Jason used to hit (ie, abuse) Alex M. when they
dated.
Per Alex M., the reason you didn't see that in the show is b/c MTV was
trying to sell a fantasy. That is also why you don't see Alex M. and
Jason
actually break up.

* LC is supposedly the meanest person of the bunch - they say she is
the
least approachable.

* Another thing, is apparently MTV and BMW have some sort of deal,
which is
why you always see them driving around in BMWs - ie, Kristin's dad
didn't
really buy her the BMW - she got it from MTV.

Hot and hotter. Discuss, hot stuffs.

You Are 40% Boyish and 60% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.
You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

Oo. very true.
