At the cash register

Can the type of payment help you safe money?

Trap:
Credit card-swipe and pay later.
#1-you overspend because you worry about it later. thinking you will just return it. (reality: it ends up being too much effort)
#2-the money accumulates and end of the month, what?!??! $7689!

Best to use:
Cash-pay now.
Why it's the best? The fact that you reach for the bills and count them one by one will make you realize mentally how much you're giving out for the purchase. Oops, $20 gone. another $20 gone. $10 gone. two $5 gone. How many bills are left?

Try one month of just using cash.
Try one month of just using credit card.

Compare and you be the judge.

so...someone requested sex

Sex sex sex. where do i even begin haha jp

its all about the right time. with the right person....right choice. ask yourself, "will i regret doing this later?"

it's sad to know that there are more girls who are virgins than guys who are virgins (or at least that's the way i feel). is it even possible to find a guy who's a virgin to marry? (that used to my mentality but not anymore.) when you find the right person, does it matter if he is still a virgin or not?


So many random scattered ideas are bouncing around in my head, so the following will just be one idea jumping to the next. (in no particular order)

1. organism is like having your soul pulled out of you and re-embed in you after. organism is like you've finished the SAT that you've been studying for months for and got an 2400 right after. organism is like having chocolate melt on your tongue and uplifting your whole body.

2. sex is addicting, but you don't want to get hooked onto it. sex is a drug.

3. release each breath of freedom. sex can bring your emotions out as you become a part of the intense sexual realm, the more you are into it the greater the emotions are and the better it feels. with each breath, you allow each emotions to flow out and through your body (from the very top of strand of hair to the last skin cell on your foot). your body starts to ache (in a good way), you begin to struggle with each movement in the moment, you want to release more and more emotions, during this state you will rise to your fullest and everything feels good.

4. some say sex feels better when you don't use a condom. does it feel better when you find out you missed your period?

5. for those who haven't had sex yet, you never know what you're missing out on unless you've gone through it.

6. in human development family studies class, teacher was talking about when you rub a dog's stomach, you feel so happy and they flip over and show you their genitals. "that's the real way to show someone you trust them, right?" professor said. do we always trust the one that we have sex with?

7. as you break each level in the baseball field (first base, 2nd, 3rd and home run). does the level(s) underneath the one you've gone to feel less good? if you've touched all bases, does holding hands still make your heart beat faster?

8. Sex. Is this what i really need? Going through life never experiencing it is like never going on a roller coaster to experience the rush, but everyone describes the rush differently to someone who has never been on a roller coaster.

the question arises, “do i really want to feel the rush?” People that never experienced it just live normally with their lives, they don't need such “rush”, but for those who have exposure to it, they tend to know more and might want it more.


CAUTION: I'm not telling you to have sex! just saying what i think about sex in general. it's a topic that is not widely talked about amongst asians. we (or at least I, myself) never got "the talk" from my parents. if i was still in china, i would have learned about sex education much later.


DO it with someone you love or someone who you think it's worth give your body to. Think about it this way, it's not like a guy's thing changes after doing it with a lot of girls. but that's not true vice versa.


Find the right partner.

Find the right partner.

FIND THE RIGHT PARTNER. Having the right partner for sexual activity is like going with someone you trust to lead you out of a nebulous forest. Full of trees that block the sunlight, not allowing for those to seeing beyond that realm that your in. No sense of direction to guide you through the obsolete dense forest, no where you turn you can get out, that is why you need to find the right partner. Some you can believe, trust, and love.


WITH OUT THESE REQUIREMENTS, SEX WILL NOT FEEL AS SATISFYING.


Don't do anything you'll regret later in life because life isn't reversible. When you want to change the past, it's already too late.


Appreciate your body because in the end, it is your body. Nobody else's. Your's. Take care of it. no money or anything in this world can trade for the value of good health.

10 things I look for in a guy (my own preference)


Below is my personal ideal boyfriend check-list:

1. nice. kind. honest. caring. loyal etc. -
all those expected things that all girls would want is all included in this #1. fair enough?

2. decently body shaped-
not too chubby. not too diesel. not too boney. Someone's who's decently fit and whom I feel secure and safe around. I don't want someone who's going to scream like a girl and run away when I'm in danger lol, but I don't want someone who just has muscles to their advantage for the wrong reasons.

3. think before you talk-
(esp when arguing) i like guys who are more reserved in the sense that when you're in a fight w/ him, he wouldn't just say everything that registers through his head and yells everything out. people say anything when they're mad even when they don't mean it. It makes it so that you're solving the conflict in a more intellectual/easier way to work it out with someone who is calm and talks less than talk more in a fight. it tends to seem violent too

4. personality type: more reserved than outgoing-
Guys who are easy-going and get along with everyone. That doesn't necessarily mean outgoing though. If I had to choose between super outgoing to super reserved, probably reserved. I just can't deal with someone's constant voice blahbing24/7. Hard to find someone who's a talker and a listener. Every reserved person has a loud side. They're just loud and talkative w/ the ppl they want to be loud and talkative.

5. Supportive and trustworthy/ability to trust others.
If I go to a party with friends on a night he can't go, the fact that he supports me by saying "Ok. Have fun and be safe. Let me know if you need anything" vs. "Ok. Don't grind with any guys, k? Don't drink bcs I don't want you to be drunk."
Sometimes when you're at your most down times, all you need is someone to support you and comfort you. That's it. The fact that he is there helps.

6. Positive outlook on life and optimism-
I cannot deal w/ ppl who are always so pessimistic! Negativity just brings the mood down.
I say: Want to go ice skating? he says: That's lame.
I say: I'm aiming for a B+ in physics class. he says: You're not going to since you suck at physics.
Encourage, rather than discourage. Share positivity, rather than negativity. Be nice, rather than be mean. (what's the point of being mean? nobody gains on either end)

7. Respect privacy-
There are things that should be kept confidential like personal savings in the bank, passwords to emails, etc. Not everything needs to be shared in a relationship. That's not lying. It's just personal privacy and confidentiality. (if that something affects the guy-ex: STDs, then you gotta tell them, but things like money and personal email don't need to be linked and shared by both)

8. individual freedom-
Sometimes you might think you're free, but you're not. Relationships comes w/ a price. If you think about whatever it is that's bothering you, ponder the question, "Does being in this relationship restrict the freedom that I enjoy while being a single?" People who are happy and in relationship are ones who are giving up freedom to date others etc for the guy, but they would sacrifice that for the guy and that's awesome.
BUT if you are restricted of things that you enjoy doing but can't bcs your guy tell you not too, but you could do all those if you were single then you might not be happy in that relationship.
He doesn't let you dance, spend too much time with other guys, talk on the phone late at night with other guys etc but you can't give those up, well.... there's a problem right?

9. Humble and laid-back-
Arrogance and confidence are two different things.
Arrogance is just annoying and very unattractive in a guy, and when someone who has too much confidence, it might just lead to the wrong characteristics. A guy who is down for anything and isn't picky about things are so much easier to get along w/ ones who have too much opinion.

10. Curious and explorative/adventurous-
I get bored with the same routines and same conversations. Who doesn't, right? When you have the curiosity of exploring, you'll always learn and realize new knowledge and undergo experiences that you haven't before. What is life if experience does not exist? (philosophical question right there).
Studies have shown: if you're relationship is beginning to be boring, the way to revive the spark is to do things both of you have never done before. Travel to Dubai together! Go skydiving together! Go back to where you guys met or had your 1st date or honeymoon?


Lesson of the blog:
Each and everyone is unique in their own unique ways because of how we've been raised in the family, impacted by society and experiences we've gone through as individuals.
We all have our own personalities and therefore preferences.
Opposites attract but commonalities in people attract too. It's your personality and the expectations you have that determines the perfect match for you. On top of all that, how hard is it to have that person who match with you to like you back!

Life is hard. Finding the right love with the right person is even harder.


relationships


I realized that it's been a while that I have been single. Just after ending with someone in HS, I'm in another relationship in the beginning of college (now).

(even tho my goal is to not have a bf for the next 2 years until junior year...fail)


Someone special and someone who had the characteristics of someone I've been waiting for happened to like me back, so I can't let the chance slip away, right?

Although I'm happy and perfectly satisfied in the relationship, I wonder what I'm missing out for being single.


As much as you want to believe that you still have freedom when you're in a relationship, it's a trap.

#1Truth: You are limited and more refined when in a relationship than when you're single.

Reason: It's no longer about what YOU want as an individual, it's what YOU and HIM wants. Your decisions impacts not just YOU, but also HIM.

Overall: That's just a con but many pros completely outweigh the cons if you're with the right person. (if there's enough trust and love, freedom and restrictions shouldn't be an issue)


#2Truth: Don't LOOK and try so hard to find that special someone, because enjoy being single while you're single! When you're in a relationship, there's another layer of maturity that you need to be able to handle and not everyone's ready for it!

Reason: Unlike school, you HAVE to deal with the stress from school and mostly likely, school isn't an option, so you just have to deal with it. Well.....not relationships. YOU CHOOSE TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP. you're never forced into one. Since having a bf isn't a necessity, you can avoid the stress, conflicts, drama etc.

Overall: like all situations, there's give and take for all situations, and having a bf is just another give and take situation. there are PROS and CONS. you could be missing out on the experience of love and connection and trust and bond (did someone say physical attractions too?)



LIFE AS WE LIVE IT

-When you have pros, you will always have cons that follow.

-When you have best moments of you're life, you definitely have had some sort of depressing phase as well. Life is a hill and that's LIFE!

-It's okay! life is relative. you won't enjoy the happy moments as much if the sad moments didn't exist.

a new years midnight/morning skype

a complicated friendship/relationship was followed by an intense conversation then making up...


A girl cannot wish for more from a guy than a touching prayer to realize how much he loves her.

[1/1/11 3:59:17 AM]

dear god

i speak to you tonight with my mind and my heart in this new year 2011...

everyday that continues on from this year forth will be memorable with her...she has not just given me a new way to see the world but gave me something i never had, something i always wanted for 18 years, love. Love that you speak of is and should be within everyone, and finally i have obtained it through, from, and for of her...

i shall not give up so easily without a fight or allow us to fall apart because of any small situations that will overcome us in the following time to come. And with your guidance and knowledge, guide us a way to obtain this. With your aid, my connection with her shall never be lost.

i believe that you can help to provide the needs in our time together. Nothing will break us apart so easily because your hand will hold us together. God, this year is the year that I and this girl will be together with our hearts intertwined today (on the first day of 2011) and everyday that moves on forth this year will our hands hold tighter with each other.

and God, tonight is the night that i realized a few things. these few things that we realize shall not impact our bond, because our bond cannot be broken, for it is like the metal rod that cannot be cut by scissors. God, from all this time that i have been with her, i realize more and more how much i appreciate her so that that i never want to forget or loose what i have with her because of any difficulty or hardship that might come in our way. Nothing shall destroy this. Nothing will ever break our love for one another and separate us. In god's name, Amen.

distributed love

the short version of two scenarios (names are all made up):

scenario 1: Alina has been dating Jeff for half a year now, but seems to have a few other options. As much as she loves him, there's desire for more guys. Maybe desire isn't the right word. She still feels the attraction from other guys pulling her towards them. And yes, the word them is plural. There are four other guys as options. How can that be possible?

How can her feelings be shared? Even when she loves Jeff to the point she would not do anything to risk their relationship, Alina's deep secret is that her heart is shared. Can a heart and love be shared and distributed to different departments? Maybe she's just crazy because that's unfair to all parties, maybe it's normal because there's always attractions for others even when a girl like her is in a relationship. In a situation like that, where do they head towards? A stable relationship, followed by marriage?

When I thought she was just being selfish for trying to have so many guys all to herself, another friend (Anna) told me her story which made me feel more understanding.

scenario 2: Anna is single (that status can complicate or simplify a lot of situations). She has a few options for guys and is definitely not in any mood to jump into a relationship. She takes her time and tests all of them. Each one of them has their unique personality traits and characteristics that attracts her. The attraction can't be stopped, that magnetic pull is just present whenever she hangs out with each of them, individually. All of them has the same power of force, but different kind of force.

For one guy, it may be physical attractions and that chemistry that's doing the talking.
For another guy, it is the caring and soft side that pulls her towards him.
For another guy, it's the ambition and humor that keeps her going back to him.

There is always pros and cons in all.
We must accept we are all humans.
People have strengths and weaknesses.

It is how each person's own preferences that weighs each person's pros and cons differently that determines whether or not that person is right.

i let go

Letting go isn't so hard once you get it, but too bad i haven't learned how.
I set your wings free, to fly to where you belong (or at least where you think you belong).
Summer is a dangerous time, summer hook ups are even more toxic than I had predicted.
I endured through things I never want to experience in my childhood life, but because of you, I had to deal with the puffy eyes from tears and stabs in the heart.

"I thought we're just friends since sophomore year, right?" If I said right, I would have been gone from you since.

I would have chose not to go to your house at night, not celebrate 9/29 anniversary even after sophomore year, not liked the Valentine's day present. I would have distanced myself from you before I get hurt from you.

I knew HS couples don't last until college, but at least I would think you would wait until college to find someone. It's dammnn right that there cant be such thing as best friends between a girl and guy, because the friendship is always being risked when one of them finds someone else to replace you.

Sometimes, you think of all guys in the same boat.
They cherish you when they have nobody else yet, and trashes you when they do. Because having one person by your side to care for you is better than none, right?

Love makes you smile, but love also forces tears.
Where there is any affection, there will be hurts.
Where there's the most love, the more easily it can turn into hate.
My heart bleeds as I set your wings and desires free. (in memory of 8/23)

wrong way to ask stranger out

So I was in the soy sauce section in the supermarket, (thank god my mom was at another isle somewhere) minding my own business, searching for that item I have pictured in mind.

Random asian guy comes up next to me.

 I didn't even notice him until he said, "Hey whats up?"
I took a look at him, thought he was being friendly. "Hey. Not much."
Right away w/ no hesitation, already planned out, he said, "So you wanna hang out sometime?"
Never had anyone approach me like that. rly? seriously? wow. i said, "nah." 

then he just walked away without another word. 

This all happened in 15 seconds. THAT was a weird and awkward moment of my day. How much more sketchy and creepy can you get? Has certain guys get so desperate and unoriginal? I want to go inside his head and literally try to step in his shoe and understand what he had in mind. Would any girl fall for that? 
..........................
The reason that I was in the chinese supermarket today with my mom was bcs....
We made SUSHI for! yummmm. All types of varieties of sushi (all w/ cooked things cuz i hate raw meat) and Vietnamese noodle rolls. yummm.

Woo! Done w/ graduation!

Chilled w/ friends-rented 30 days of Night
Horrible suggestion from the worker at the rental. Not a horror at all. Changed my whole view of beautiful twilight vampires cuz vampires in there were ugly and horrible. I would rather think of everything in a more beautiful way. 
Haven't played cards in forever! finally done w/ everything. time to chill. 
-big 2 (its an asian game. too lazy to explain)
-spoon (substituted pencils for spoons, so technically we played pencils)
-James Bond (match each piles into the same number by trading w/ middle of pile)
-drug lord (cards in middle, every1 gets one. Jacks and Queens=regular ppl. King=cop. Ace=drug lord. Ppl stare at each other and Ace person secretly winks at one other person. King tries to find out who drug lord is. its so fun! ha) i might do a vid on it ha
-BS (we all know this game)

(5 am now)
Another movie time! Couples Retreat. like 10 min into the movie.
...the 3 other friends all like falling asleep. 20 min into it (before they go on the island), I turn around and they're asleep. I got woken up (woken up? is that correct spelling) by a Tim*'s snore/cough, then I woke up Paula*. 
Until 7:42 am ish, I felt pretty awake (singing to airplanes and lady gaga on the radio) but i actually fell asleep and woke up at 3 pm. ay yeay ay am I too old to pull an all nighter already?

drama on the road!

In the car, Paula driving (me and Tim in the car). This cab behind us was crossing the lane to our side so abruptly, almost hit our car's butt. You know driver's rage-->Paula got so pissed right then, just swearing quietly in a joking way. Tim (sitting in the driver's seat) got pissed too, what kinda driver is sitting in that cab? (that driver also honked mad times too, really?)

Tim yelled: "watch it buddy!" (cab still behind us)
The cab drove to the lane next to our right, now we're window to window. 
Cab driver: "F*ck u" (wow that rly got Tim pissed, he got the guts to do that?)
Tim now sticking up his middle finger, "get a real job" (ouch that really got him)

phew that conversation is over. and cab was still on the lane to the right but now behind us, slowing down bcs of traffic and the red light. 

O man, he caught up again, now same distance as before. window to window. awkward and both cars were filled with anger and rage. 

cab driver: "huh! u think its funny" in a ugly tone
Tim: "go eat your curry"  (hard to understand what he was saying bcs of his accent)
cab driver: "what?! u having fun? huh!?! u think ur funny" in an even higher voice. 

at that moment, i wasnt even quiet sure what he was saying. 1st experience like that. i mean i was afraid, but something like this had never happened. i actually got my seatbelt fastened. then again, what could he do? stop in the middle of the road/highway and argue with us? 

here's the highlight: he drove in the same lane as us, in the front. (literally, right in front of our car) now, im like holy sh*t....
the cab driver stepped on the brake for a second and kept going. but on the small highway, we could have almost hit his car! 
Paula: "what?! he want us to hit his car?" 

we were no longer going in the same direction anymore, but that was an interesting night (well 5 minutes) in the car. 

When I'm a driver, would I get that kind of rage too? Is it just like pouring more oil on fire when both sides are verbally hitting each other? In a situation like that, the one to step down would make the other feel more superior. There doesn't seem like there's a clear and smart solution in sight.

18 yr old girl dont need this crap from bf

6/4/10 (well 1:51 am so technically 6/5)

yesterday, holy crap! chillin' w/ friends at *Carlo's house (1 am) about to watch Triangle. *Amy is having issues w/ her bf who cheated on her 2x. it's bothering every1 and we all kno dat they dont match cuz she deserves better but she always ends up going back for him. amy's bf is pissed cuz she didnt call back and claims that she's cheating on him? it get so out of hand that he actually came over to carlo's house that late to like hunt her down to return all the stuff that she gave him. rly? can college guys be anymore mature than that? 

next thing u know, amy's standing next to the window of his car, trying to calm him down. we see all those stuff she gave him all thrown on the sidewalk that we picked up. his voice gets louder and louder. 

"amy, just get in the car"i said to her. all of us got into Paula's car, including amy. her psycho bf backs up his car to where *paula's car is, gets of the car to get amy. he freakin punches and kicks the car, yelling at amy as we drove away. 

lost him bcs of the red light or else, i don't even know what could have happened. 

worst thing is: Carlo's parents saw everything from inside, called the cops. but since we weren't there long, the cops thing wasn't a big issue, they didnt eventually come. 

2nd worst thing is: Paula and amy's bf are cousins. paula's gotta explain things clear to her mom about the dent in the car. carlo now have a 12 am curfew & amy is basically banned from his house. o man. crazy night. 

please amy, just break up with him. so not worth it to deal w/ a guy who doesn't treat u with respect and no trust. amy-not at all a cheating type, such a goody goody, always tryin to be the bigger and righteous one. this is the 3rd time you guys tried, if it's not working. it's not working! relationships shouldnt be this hard. if it is (at this stage?) what about when u guys get even more serious? c'mon we're still 18 here, way too much for a girl to handle. 

*note: all names are changed for privacy purposes.*

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

i hve to admit, i've been thru a similar cycle and it's def. not healthy in a relationship to deal with screams and yellings in public by a guy. i hate to say it but the anger comes out so much bcs the guy loves u so much that it's gotten to the pt of unhealthiness. whatever reason chris beat rihanna, hey at least there was love there. not saying that was right but anger did derive from love, it's just too much of anything is never healthy. even love. 

senior yr has been water just seeping thru my fingers. not sure if i want to hold on and stop the clock or to fast forward to college. before u kno it, there will be no water left running thru your fingers. changes aren't easy but im sure it will be fine. 

i've been so out of it. never been lazier in my life. all i wanna do is just chillax and be laid back. there's no more late nights doing proj, not one min of fuzzling over that complicated derivative problem, and in fact, even signing muchos muchos yr books seem like more writing than i've done in such a long time. it's time to move on to the college stage of my life and start fresh. but how fresh can it be? will i be a new "me"? how much different of me will i be in college?

graduation on sunday! and diaaaammmm ABRSM grade 8 piano exam! just the thought of it gives me a headache. not so much confidence in this one than all the other exams in the past.

zebra love!

ELF eyeshadow primer ($3)-placed all over bare lid before any eye steps
Urban decay baked palette-2nd gold from the left padded all over lid (blended a lil above the crease, but not too much so it keeps it neutral)
-1st brown from the left blended into the outer corner 
ELf pan eyeshadow (ivory)-inner 1/4 of the lid and inner corner
Jordana retractable eyeliner (black)-just from the mid-lid to the outer corner

Macy's zebra one piece dress-the high wasted skirt style. 
-added a red belt to it or else it's too plain with just black and white. 
Put this look with zebra flats.
