P, you are being too honest, but, I like it.
Wise does come with age and experiences. I am getting there.

Saturday Night..
Just came back from a surprise b'day party we throw for CL. It was a small party, just a few of us. Her b'day is not here yet but we celebrated it early since we are all going to be busy that day.
I wasn't really in the mood but I have fun especially when we were playing with the cream on the cake. Of course, as usual, I got dragged into the whole mess again. At first, I was trying to avoid them but CL got it on me. So, I just got up, and decided to put up a good fight. Hehehehe...I guess I haven't been playing this for quite some time. Kinda miss it even though it messed up my hair and clothes.
Well, after graduation, I might not find people who would do that with me anymore. So, savor the moment while you still have it!

天真
有時候，天真是好的，但，過於天真是愚蠢的。而我，經常就處於過於天真的邊緣，尤其是當面對著我以為的真心的朋友時，我是毫不防備的。
信任被摧毀了。不想再給她機會了。不可以再給她機會了。
對背叛你的人仁慈，就是對自己殘忍。
已經原諒了她，但得時時刻刻警惕自己，不可再信任她了。

The 200th Post..
Everything is out in the air. I felt, relieved. Can't deny that there is going to be some hurtful feelings. Well, it will be over someday. It is just the matter of time. I will be fine, and I am actually quite fine now, not at my best, but quite fine.
As I always said, Life Moves On. What's next?

Here comes the good things..
SNOWING!!! SNOWING!!
Yohooo...
The IFT regional meeting got cancelled. Hehehe..Can't believe how happy I am to hear that. I wasn't really in the mood of going actually. I signed up for it and then only it came to my senses that I have to spend 4hours travelling just to attend the meeting. So, it is great now that it got cancelled. Hope I can use the time and do something productive, like, eh..working on my thesis. See, told you, snow is always bringing me good things, except when I have to shovel the snow off my car. It is going to be at least 5 inches, that's what the weather forecast said.
Christy's b'day is this upcoming Sunday. She called last night to ask me to go to bars tonight. Hmm..tonight? No way! It's Thursday! Besides, I got a long experiment to run tomorrow. I really gotta quit clubbing now if I really want to get my thesis done.
Just found out that I got taxed for the FICA and Medicare. Stupid system. I came here since Aug 2001 but they don't care. They counted that as first year. Now, they said I am over my 5th year. So, I gotta pay for that stupid Medicare and FICA that wont even benefit me if I am not a citizen here. Hopefully, I can get it back next year when I file the tax.
Can't believe I am here for almost 5 years already...No wonder I got a culture shock when I went back last time.
Alrite..Lunch time with my buddies..

Random thoughts..
Went for buck burger and beer in Paddy's bar with Nat, Js, B and his wife last night. One question popped up, "What's life?" Seriously, what's life? You are born, then study, then work, then die. Is that it? Huh..what's life?
B told me that I don't look like I felt that I am graduating this May. I look too relax to them. Yeah..I felt that way too. I have only one month left to get my thesis out and I have only what, 3 pages? Great..40 more pages to go. Sounds so much fun.
I think I am not that excited about graduating because I don't have anything to look forward to. I pretty much have everything I want in my life now. I have great friends, family, salary that is sufficient for me to get through my life and that's all. Whatelse? A boyfriend, maybe, maybe not. I am enjoying my life so much now that a boyfriend will mean that I am going to lose my freedom and my carefree life. So, what else? A big house? A nice car? Those are just things that a person want, is not things that a person need. By having those thoughts, you will never be very satisfied with your life. I guess that's what make people improve, isn't it? Sigh..don't ask me..
B asked me to stay here and exploit my opportunities here. I guess, that's what I would do. What's the point of going home besides my parents anyway? I felt like an weirdo when I went home last time. People back home are quite conservative at times. I don't feel like I fit in most of the time. My mindset is in between being an Asian and an American. I kept what I thought is good about my culture, and I accept what is good about their culture. That really makes me a weirdo in both places. However, my conservative mindset that I kept, is not so unacceptable here. I felt more at ease when I am here. B mentioned about how most Asian men do not know how to appreciate woman. I guess that's my culture that I don't like. Why do we have to be the one doing all the houseworks? Why do we have to be the one sacrifice when it comes to sit home and take care of kids? Why can't we be equal in a relationship? There are so many things that I don't understand and I don't like about my culture. Sis told me once that I should find an open minded guy but it is not easy to find that back home. Even a guy who studied oversea before, doesn't mean he is open minded either. I guess that's what B was trying to tell me too. Hahaha...I should be grateful that I have a friend like him.
See, that's the reason I don't feel like graduate in May. I have great friends who care about me all the time and are there for me anytime. B even offered to read my thesis, scan through articles and guide me through the whole thesis writing process. I didn't accept it because I know he has a lot more things to do than I am. Whatelse can I ask for right now? Seriously. Friends like this, not 1, not 2, I have at least 4 here. Some people don't even have 1 of this kind of friends. How could I leave this place? How could I leave them? Seriously.
Sigh..me graduating is like telling all of us that we are going to be apart soon. I am very happy and grateful to have friends like them. No matter how busy we are, we always try to spend time and hang out. Even just a walk to get coffee every morning or after lunch, or going out for a beer during weeknights, is more than enough. I think I will miss them the most after graduation.
Alrite..gtg..going to do some grocery with Cheryll, CL, Nat and Js. Preparing for the upcoming Costa Rican dinner.

What my horoscope said?
Horoscope for February 3, 2006
Gemini (May 21 - Jun 21)
The Bottom Line
You can hope and wish for change, but it won't happen until you make it happen.
In Detail
When you got up this morning, you might have thought you'd want to make it an early night. Forget about that. The heavens have arranged for some red-hot energies to bring someone back into your life who you've been missing -- okay dreadfully missing -- for quite some time. So when that wonderful offer to go out and play comes along, you'll take it. Expect to be up late, talking and laughing. Just be careful with your heart.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some part of it seemed quite true, but I successfully make it an early night. I left the bar quite early today, compare to usual, of course. It was a great night. The bar was not too crowded with hmm..some people that I don't like and the music was so much better than last few weeks. I did run into some people though. Hehehe..I ran into that Target guy and that 21 years old guy I danced with while I got drunk last time. It wasn't quite pleasant to run into that Target guy. He got kinda sticky, kept hanging around and I had to watch my back all the time while I was dancing, even while I was dancing with other guys. CL called him my "Bee". Learned something, put one of your hands on your back while dancing, and then the guy wont be able to come from your back, and if the guy did, don't turn and look back, then he will take the hint and leave after a while.
Glad that I finally managed to turn away a guy tonight all by myself. I am very proud of myself now. ^0^ What opening line is this, "I like your pants"?? From a guy!! C'mon, say something like, "you look nice in those pants", that makes much more sense! Besides, don't ask your friend to come and ask me whether Js is my bf, just come up yourself. I guess he know I would probably say yes if he came up by himself. Hehehe..
Anyway, gotta thank Js though. If not, I would get into more trouble than I am tonight. He rescued me from a couple of guys tonight. What a scary and desperate world!
Ok..3am..time for bed. Nighty night..
