Halloween Weekend

So this Halloween was completely more fun than last Halloween... Went clubbin both Fri. nite and Sat. nite (even tho actual Halloween Day was on Sun.) It was great to go out, party and just blow off some steam, since it's been such a long week, not to mention a long month, just lots of craziness nobody ever needs, but everyone always gets becuz that's life.
but anyways, Fri. nite was alrite, but I don't think I'd go to the Glass Kat again, lol! and I couldn't go home when I wanted to cuz I didn't drive (no Derrick, it's not your fault, but I'm gonna blame you anyways!:p) I went with Derrick and his friends, so his friend Vic drove, but after the party ended they had to meet up with friends at IHOP... yeah.... Anyways, Sat. nite was hella fun! Went with Linda, Mike and Connie, I drove (thank god), but I felt bad that everyone waited in line forever (sorry Linda!), but I think we all had a blast! I can't disclose too much, kinda like wat they say about Vegas *wink wink*... but I'll tell u this, the DNA Lounge is off da hook! ;p

Okay, Okay

Alrite, so the radiologist thought the Doc. was being a little overtly cautious about the dark area in the x-rays. So yeah, she doesn't think I have pnemonia, but the Doc. said I should go ahead and finish up the anti-biotics... better to be safe than sorry I guess... He did hear something in my lung tho... weird... but when I talked to the Doc. I forgot to ask for my x-rays back! ARGH! That's what I get for being all spacey, even more so while I'm sick =P Bleck! I had all these questions to ask him to, but I spaced out while waiting to speak with him and yeah, completely forgot... DARN! I want my X-rays!!! *sigh* guess I can go ask for them some other time, I feel like I've been at the clinic way too many times, I was just there today to get a note to show my profesors, they'll probably start to know my name! they'll be like, "Oh, it's that girl again, what does she want NOW?" =P oh well, you gotta do watcha gotta do...
anyways, goin home this Fri. so anyone in SF better hope I dun get ya sick! Muhahahahahahaha!!! (the nurse at the clinic wrote me a note that said no class while ill and contagious!) Julie says I should wear a mask, like the ones they wore in China when every was gettin SARS. Heeeell NO I ain't wearin no mask! shoo...

So yeah, who's up for clubbin this Fri. and Sat. nite??? C'mon ppl it's Halloween! Not sure what I'll be yet, but I'll figure it out. Just hit me up if ya wanna go clubbin, 21 and up is a plus, but we could go Fri. if not, lol! Gotta blow off steam ppl! It's been a long ass month! gonna be a good weekend to dance the nite away (drinks optional)!

What does a perfect lung sound like?

So, no mini-project, as I just got sicker by Thurs. and worse on Fri. It was semi-manageable over the weekend, but I found it hard to breathe during any physical activity (ie. moving). I got just a little rest but I thought I'd be getting better by this week, but since I wasn't, on Tues. I went to the clinic to see if maybe they could tell me what's wrong with me. After spending over 2 hours there, I got some good news and some bad news. Good news is I gotta X-ray! (iono, I always thought it was cool to get an X-ray done, I wonder if I can get a copy of them...) Bad news is, Doctor thinks I have pnemonia. He had sent me to get an X-ray done cuz he didn't think my right lung sounded perfect (which got me wondering, What does a perfect lung sound like?) so after lookin over a couple x-rays of my lungs, he said it doesn't look scary but that there's a small dark area that looks like an infection. Lovely, an infection, in my lungs, it just couldn't have been somewhere EXTERNAL, I thought. Anyways, he said he'd run it over with the radiologist to make sure and call me the next day, but until then he was gonna treat me for the time being, for pneomonia. So I'm on anti-biotics, and he also prescribed me some decongestant stuff to clear up my sinuses. Yeah, it's a lotta meds, bleck! and they're these pretty big pills that you gotta chug down with hella water... *gag*
So I haven't heard back from the Doc. yet, and I'm still coughing, still stuffy, I don't think the decongestant stuff works that well, I swore the Doc. wrote Crantex on the prescription slip, but the pharmacy gave me Ami-Tex with (generic for Crantex) written next to it in parentheses... I know they're all supposed to work the same, but yeah, weird...
and they weren't cheap either! 55 bucks for the anti-biotics and 29 bucks for Ami-tex... *sigh* on top of that, I'm gonna be charged for the X-rays too... wonder how much that'll all total to... welps, it's all being charged to my student account, guess we'll see soon enough...
On another note, we've officially moved-in to our new place! We (Fay, Jen and I) finished moving everything over at like 2am in the morn (Sun./Mon.), lol! well we were pretty much done at like 8pm, but there were some last few items here and there, plus we had to help Fay clean the other place... but yeah, soon as I install the programs for my digi cam, I'll upload pics of the place, as messy as it is rite now cuz I still haven't organized all my crap yet...
More on this next time...

Back in Service

So I finally fixed my comp, all by myself, thank you very much! boi was it a pain to replace the hard drive! stupid laptop parts! anyways, that was like almost 2 weeks ago, lol! yeah I had 2 midterms in the past 2 days... aint life grand? so I was pretty much cramming for those most of last week and all weekend and yesterday (or monday)... but yeah, it's been a long month.... or a long beginning of the school year rather... long days, long nites... and I feel like I've been surrounded by a lot of grief.... not, "good grief!" kinda grief, but like pain and suffering kinda grief... crying your eyes out, doubt, regret, heartache, remorse and mourning kinda grief... and suddenly I find myself wishing I don't always wish for a better life... because if it meant that everyone else around me would be suffering... then I couldn't stand not suffering with them... never wish you were better off I guess, because it just means that someone else out there is suffering more than you are... *sigh* to suffer is to build character... to suffer is to live... to suffer is to feel, to know you really are alive... and so we live on... as we should... because what doesn't destroy us, makes us stronger...

ps. I'm still working on re-installing stuff for downloading and uploading pics and also I haven't knitted anything since I moved back to SC, so hopefully after the move this weekend, I'll be posting up some mini-projects...

Bitch to the 1st Degree

After physics class today, I started to have a headache as I realized that our first midterm is only a week from now. Still a bit exhausted from staying up late doing the damn physics homework the nite before, I sat down on the bench at the shuttle stop to rest and wait for the core shuttle. Two seconds later, two sorority girls walk over to wait for the same shuttle and since sorority girls like to talk overtly loud so the whole world can hear they're conversation, this is what I heard....
Sorority Girl#1 (on the phone with her boyfriend): What?.... I'm at the THIMAN BUS STOP... RIGHT BEHIND THIMAN!.... ok, bye.....yeah, bye! (hangs up)
Sorority Girl#2: What's Jessica's last name?
Sorority Girl #1: Poon.
Sorority Girl#2: Poo?
Sorority Girl#1: no, POON, P-O-O-N, Poon.
Sorority Girl#2: *laughs* oh, I thought you said Poo, I put her on my Etc. list (she was adding to her cell's phonebook).
Sorority Girl#1: Etc.?
Sorority Girl#2: yeah, cuz she's not my friend and she's not in K.D.Phi... so Etc....
Sorority Girl#1's phone rings again: WHAT?!... yeah, the Thiman core shuttle stop, yeah....... why?....What, just because you said so I have to?.... no, I don't want to go.... I don't want to eat.... no, I can't eat after 6(pm)(Sorority Girl#2 laughs quietly).... watever, ok, bye!.... YES, I'm at THIMAN!... wat?, ok, bye!...BYE! (hangs up)... (turns to Sorority Girl#2) I bought Pete a break-up gift...
Sorority Girl#2: A break-up gift? What's that? (this is when my headache kicked in again)
Sorority Girl#1: you know, a "break-up" gift...*mumbling*
Sorority Girl#2: Here comes Pete... (Sorority Girl#1 doesn't notice, keeps talking, so Sorority Girl#2 shouts) HI PETE!
Pete walks over to them.
Pete: After 6 huh?

At this point I was about to just get up and walk before I exploded.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what we call a Bitch to the 1st Degree.... someone who does not care if they hurt someone else as long as they are happy themselves....
I hate people like that, I hate'em, I just do.... I do...

Back-to-School

So it's been ages and ages since my last post, and since then, many things have happened, all put in list form for simplicity purposes:
1.) School started Sept. 23rd, also Kat's b-day, also officially moved back Sept. 20th, after which my craft-making craziness was put on hold.
2.) Many more b-days followed, last of which celebrated was Yvonne's on Oct. 1 (she turned 19, I felt older...)
3.) On the weekends that I went home, I indugled in some t-shirt reconstruction and turned an old Mission High t-shirt to a "preppy" collared button-up. Pics of which will be posted when I get Jae to take a pic of himself wearing it and send it to me to post, which will be the only way for me to post pics until I fix my comp, which leads to numbah 4.....
4.) My 2-yr-old-but-up-to-now-been-dependable Dell laptop gave up on me last week, decided not to start back up after a system restore... and after almost 2 hrs of talking and working on it with a tech support from Dell, it still decided it just can't start windows normally... but we got safe mode to work..... soooo.... I gotta reformat.... borrowed a external hard drive to transfer any important data (more like pics and songs and etc.) and off to a clean start it'll go... hopefully all will turn out ok, all of my classes have a website to be checked often and physics homework is all done online.... oh, how wonderful life can be....
so until then, I hope wat few of you who come by will bare with me on the picture-less blogging... and everyone thank Jen and Fairouz for lettin me hang out at their place all the time and now using their internet too! LOL! k, til next time folks...

Weeee! Wrist-warmers!

So I completed two projects since the last time I posted. Project 1: Tube scarf/neck cowl, which was so soft and cozy I tried to make an excuse to wear it everytime I go out. The pattern I kinda just made up as I went along. It was a little longer than I had wanted but still works great. Project 2: Fingerless gloves/wrist-warmers! I found a simple and fast pattern from Craftster.org (which is a really cool site/forum place by the way) and whipped them up after I finished my tube scarf/neck cowl (yes, I can't decide on a name for my creations, but hey, you try to! =P) Both of which are pictured below. Now I'm working on another pair of fingerless gloves which aren't so much wrist-warmers becuz it's in a kinda fishnet pattern. I'll post that up when I'm done. (of which I also found the pattern for from Craftster.org) These gloves are a bit more complicated than the ones I just made, I actually have to concentrate on these! lol! the other ones I finished while watching rented movies wit the sister. If anyone wants the pattern to any of these, I'd be glad to give u pointers. Enjoy and lemme kno wat u think!


Here's my fingerless gloves/wrist-warmers =P I just love pink and black!  Posted by Hello

Bagged it!

I finished the bag! Well, okie, so it took like 2 nights and half a day, but I'm done! I put a pretty pin on it just for the heck of it. It turned out a little larger than I expected... I'm not sure if it's because of the yarn I used or what... I used the recommended size needles... or maybe it just looked smaller in the picture in the book... anywho, it's complete... I'm not sure if I'm too attached to it, so I may be looking for a new owner for it. Drop me a line if you like the bag =P (the dimensions officially are ~8 in. tall, 11 in. wide and 3 in. deep, all not counting the strap)
as for other news, I think I'll be starting another project... I couldn't help myself and bought a pricy ball of yarn from Imagiknit cuz it was so soft and cuddly! It's by Wendy, part of it's Chunky line, called Velvet Touch, it's made in England! Oh and it's kind of a mauve pink color... So I wanna make a scarf, or more like a neck wrap/tube/cowl thing... lol! guess u'll just have to see when I'm done... maybe I'll mix it with some of my pink mohair yarn that I got a while back... who knows, stay tuned for the results!

Here's is my lovely bag/purse from the Rowan's Big Easy pattern book. The pattern is called Lulu, but instead of using Rowan's Big Wool yarn, I used Plymouth's Encore Mega. Posted by Hello

Long time no post....

ok ok, I know, it's BEEN awhile.... so let's recap shall we? so as u scroll down, u will see the pics of the past happenings, of which I will be explaining here, but if u just wanna see pics, then be my guest... so, most recent first, we got new Ham-hams! well actually Erica had only expected to get one, but my brother's friend Abby left another one with her, which was supposed to be just for the nite...but now we've got two ham-hams we dunnno wat to do with, they have cages and everything, seperated becuz one's a boy and one's a girl. If someone would realy love a hamster please lemme kno, she's a adorable cream colored golden (syrian) ham, she's still a "baby", hasn't bitten anyone, so good tempered, AND she'd come with a cage! but yeah, there's pics of them down there... so yeah, Cindy's birthday was the 3rd, we had ice cream cake at her house and yeah, I dabbed a bit of icing on her nose and her cheek, but then her sister Shirley caked her whole face, (she caked my brother on his b-day too), actually Benny got some up her nose, but he ran away and washed his hands before she could see anything, since she was blinded by icing... but I didn't catch a pic of it all cuz my camera was off... it was funny tho...
onto Marine World, the annual Kababayan Fest (a filipino family event) was being held there last, last Sat. the 31st of Aug., and Joremel and his band were playing for it! Along with Lalaine, the girl who plays Miranda on Disney's the Lizzie Mcguire show, Once Voice and Rex Navarrete... also a whole lotta "bay area" talent, it was a pretty cool showcase of singing, dancing and a bunch of other stuff too! There was this one boy, Gabe, who just blew the socks off us when he started singing and strummin his guitar... I have a clip of it on video but gotta figure how to post that up first... but yeah, he sounded like a asian Jason Mraz! lol! Cindy was quite smitten with him and got me to hunt him down with her through the crowd to get his CD, but then she was too smittened to ask to take a pic with him, so I just asked for her, and 'viola' pic is below... Joremel's band did well, he had tons of ppl (mostly kids, but still) run up to grab some free demo CDs from him, he really had the crowd goin... overall, it was a fun day...
On a side note, I'm starting that cute little bag from Rowan yarn designs that I had wanted to work on, the blue one in the pic back on july 30th, I finally gotta chance to check out a yarn shop here in SF, Imagiknit (rite on 18th and Sanchez), it's a really cute shop and yes, again, I spent a lot of time there, but Erica was with me, rushin me to hurry up cuz she wanted to go to Petsmart... so not as long as I'd like, but yeah, I was able to find a substitute for the Rowan Big Wool yarn, it's a yarn from Plymouth yarns, called Encore Mega. I was only able to find a nice blue color almost like that in the pic, but I kinda wanted a pink bag for myself... we'll see how this turns out first tho... =)
