Yippie YaYa Yippie Yippie Ya..

Eating my freshly-out-of-the-oven scones with hot coffee. Hehehe..I am too happy today, so, gotta let myself loose a little and relaxxxx......
Everything went well today. Haven't been that lucky with my work for quite a while. Really glad. What's more is that I am relieved. The whole worries were off my back now. What's left are my discussions and explanations. More papers need to be read. Can't just BS it off, cause I am not good at doing that when it comes to academic and knowledge. Don't pretend that you know when you don't, that's my principle.

I know what she is trying to do. Cunning. *smirk*
Well, we will see. I really hope that I will get a job before August. Let's pray. Don't really feel like staying here anymore. Anyhow..her offer is quite interesting. Just if, it is going to work out that way. But, I think I will be ashame of myself when I turn 27 or 28 and still don't have any working experiences and is always shielded from the real world.
Conclusion ---> NO

Better get a job, and use the money to go and learn something else that I have always wanted to learn. Get a life.
Now, get back to my power point.

Raining...

Walking back from school in a rainy day is a treat for me after stressing out for so many days. Listening to Jay Chow's 世界末日, dancing "Singing in the rain"steps while sticking my hand outside my umbrella (I was gonna walk without my umbrella but, I still don't have money to replace my ipod yet if I do so). Everything, just fit how I felt at that moment. The song, goes with the weather so well and pretty much telling me how the next month and a half is going to be like for me. Singing in the rain, is how excited I am going to be when this is all over and...let it rain on me!! I can pretty much take anything right now, too tired to fight. I am so tired that I can't even hear my alarm clock every morning.

Have been using the mouse too much lately. My arms are sored. The powerpoint has to be out by tomorrow. Guess I will need another coffee again. Been drinking too much lately and my heart rate got really weird sometimes. Hopefully it is not anything serious. Anyway, if it is anything (God, if you hear me), don't hit me yet, ok? Come after I got a job and have the insurance to pay for it. Hehehe..

Alrite, quit complaining! Time to get back to work again. Hope can get it done before 2am tonight.
Thinking of defending on May 10th or 11th. Told CL just now and she asked me how I am going to do it since she is not going to be here at that time. Hmm..I think I am going to be fine. No, I will be fine. ^-^

Jesus Christ!! Holy God!!!
You made me worried about you for the whole day!! Dammit!! Really didn't know that I cared about you so much. Don't do it again, promise?
Gosh...

----------------------------------------------------------

I am shooting for April 9th, what do you think? Sigh..I want to make it! I will make it!!
Good news is that I don't have to pay for summer tuition. What a relieved! Gotta get my OPT application in asap.

山窮水盡疑無路，柳暗花明又一春。

YFRISOTB, give me back and ¡Andá a cagar! Laputa Quetepario!

Just breathe..

This is one of my favorite songs by Anna Nalick. Breathe...just breathe. My defense will be schedule on the 10th of May, hopefully. Which also means that my thesis has to be out 2 weeks before that. Good luck to me. What I need now is breathe...after so many bad news.

Breathe (2AM)

2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake,
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason

'Cause you can't jump the track,we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button girl,
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe,
Woah breathe, just breathe

May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
Just a day, he sat down to the flask in his fist,
Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year.
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him, maybe I'll just sing about it.

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe, just breathe,
Woah breathe, just breathe

There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout
'Cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
These mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, its no longer
Inside of me, threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
And breathe, just breathe
Woah breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.

2 more weeks..

Two more weeks, two more weeks! URGH!!!!!!!!

My seminar is coming up, and there is so much to do and so little time left!! I gotta make it. I have to make it. I do not want to reschedule my seminar. I do not want an incomplete on my transcript. And, the most important thing is, I want it to be over. O.V.E.R. Over!

Those stupid data are driving me nuts!! Now, I wish I know how to run S.A.S program.

The pressure is building up. I am freaking out now.

I am addicted

I am addicted. I am really, seriously, deadly, addicted. Shame to admit to it, but, I am addicted. Gosh! Somebody save me..
My apartment network is down now. So, can't really online. Luckily, I brought my laptop back. Now, I am using someone else's wireless connection. Hehehe..

Happy birthday to Rou!! Hope all your dreams come true, my dear.

猜心；給心

聰明的人，喜歡猜心，雖然每次都猜對了，但卻失去了自己的心 。
傻氣的人，喜歡給心，雖然每次都被笑了，但卻得到了別人的心。
你是聰明人？還是傻氣的那一位？

Breakfast, anyone?

McD breakfast tomorrow, anyone? 7.30am.
Gotta try their new coffee. Sounded good from the commercial. Will let you know tomorrow after I tried it.

-------------------Edited 11.40pm-------------------

Tried the new McD premium roast coffee with CL this morning. Woke up at 7am just to go for the coffee and the McGrdiddles. The coffee..hmm..not as strong as I thought it would be. It is not that bad, but not strong enough for me yet. I have to admit to that because right after the breakfast, I did the dumbest thing of the day. I got into my car, instead of reverse out of the parking spot, I drove up the curb that separate the parking spaces between my car and the parking spot in front of me. The worst thing is, I didn't even realized it till CL yelled at me. =.= Well, lucky me, it is just a very low curb. If not, I can't imagine what damage it might have done to my car. That's how awake I was.
Anyway, enough said, I still prefer the Verona in Starbuck and the Full Vengeance in MU over the McD coffee (since the Sumatra is not available now). The pros of having McD coffee is that it is cheaper, and it is unlimited refill if you are eating there. If you are going to have it to-go, the cup and the lid is kinda cool though..especially the lid. Hehehe..

Coffee Philosophy

I am a coffee addict. I admit to that. I have to have at least 2 cups of coffee everday. Thus far, the most I have in one day is 5.
I became not much of the espresso drinks drinker now. I still love the caramel machiatto from Starbucks but the rest of the drinks like latte, cappucino, mocha etc etc..becoming less attractive to me now. I am addicted to those brew coffee and Sumatra is my favorite. We can only get it from the Largomarcino cafe, and unfortunately, they shut down over the spring break. The rest of the coffee that you can get on the campus are not strong enough for me. The Verona from Starbucks is not bad either.
Most people dislike coffee because of their bitter taste but that's what I love about coffee. I love the bitter taste of the coffee lingering in my mouth after a full sip of the coffee. Sometimes, I drink the coffee black, pure black, with no sugar nor milk. Sometimes, I drink it with 2 packs of brown sugar and a little bit of half & half creamer. It all depends on my mood.
To me, drinking coffee is a very enjoyable moment of the day. With a hot coffee in your hand, you can pretty much feel that everything is going to be ok. That's just me, I guess. Most people don't understand why I like the bitter taste that much. Well, here's my philosophy of coffee,

No matter how bitter your life is, it wont be as bitter as the coffee you are drinking now.

It is great when you can find someone who share the same habit (bad one) as you are. You can just sit there with each other, in the cold winter, holding a cup of hot coffee in your hand, and enjoy.
The negative part about drinking coffee is that they stain your teeth and they tend to give your mouth a sour odor after a while. So, it is advisable to rinse your mouth and chew some gum after coffee.

Bad Idea..

Staying home today trying to work on my thesis, BAD IDEA!
I slept till 9.30am, which is quite bad already considered I went to bed around 1.30am last night, then, doing nothing for another 3 hours and went back for a nap for another hour. Sigh..SELF DISCIPLINE is all I need now. Part of the main reasons I can't sit down to write is that I got stuck in my writing progress. Lost the train of thoughts. I am done with one part, and don't really know how to continue another part. It is too broad to write everything and I have to narrow and focus it down.
Can't believe I can't even get through the Lite Review smoothly. Shame on me! If I could write a lite review as smooth as I am writing this blog, I am going to be done with my thesis in 2 weeks. Just IF, which is not going to happen anytime soon.
URGH!!!!!!! So frustrated. I was planning to go to library after shower but it was showering out there. So, better stay home before the nature give me another huge shower. The last thing I need now is to let the lovely nature ruin my laptop.
Ok, better get back to my stupid thesis. Still got lab work to do tomorrow.
Cheersss to those who are drinking Kopi-O with me now!

Cozy Saturday Noon..

Sitting in Panera now. Trying to write something for my dear thesis. Sigh..so unfocus. I wanted a bowl of French Onion soup. Well, will wait till the line is shorter.
Can't believe the internet service in Panera is so great. It is wireless and it is fast! Fantastic! I tried log on to the university library website to look for journal articles, it works and it downloaded the pdf files in seconds! Isn't it great? Now I found another place to write my thesis and at the same time, enjoying a nice cup of caramel latte. Well, this might be another way of putting on weight.
Anyway, who can say no to comfortable couch, soothing music in the background, the smell of coffee, nice cup of caramel latte and delicious pastries? Especially a coffee and pastry lover like me.
That's what I like most for a Saturday afternoon. Can't wait to get done with my MS degree. After that, I might be sticking around here to read some books, especially my dusted Harry Potter #6, and maybe, blog a little bit about my jobless life by then. Or maybe, I will go to Lubbock, and work in some coffee house. We will see what's happen next.
Life is too short to not to enjoy it.

Oh, by the way, Happy 1/4 Century Birthday to KTS! Time flies, doesn't it? Hope all your wishes come true!
;)

Great..

Two things happened today. Great things, indeed.

Found out last night that my abstract got accepted, so, Florida, here I come! Quite happy to find out that. June..Florida..what an interesting journey. Hopefully, will get a job offer by then. Not that I am actually looking right now.

Apparently, in her mind, I am not as bad as I thought she thinks I am. If not, she wouldn't have offered me that, right? Anyway, I didn't accept it. I am just doing everyone a favor, especially myself. Enough is enough. It's time to move on to something else. The most important part is, I think I am ready. Kind of excited about it actually. It's time to walk out of my comfort zone, that's what Jie said. I might come back for it, but, not now.

Thursday morning

Good morning, everyone!
Just got back from the gym, enjoying my sandwich and chatting with my friends now. It is a good way to start my day. Now, I only need some coffee.
Hopefully, my "lovely" officemate wont get here that early.
