Today I learned that enough sleep is essential to pulling off a 5 hour school day, plus a 14 hour day at work

I am sitting my Business Programming class listening to the teacher tell us which screens we need to print to cover our work.

I'm paying very little attention since I have the assignment done already. I know I know, I should still pay attention. Meh....I'm done I understand it so ha!

As I already stated, I have mandatory overtime which must be done at my job, which obviously is not good at all, but since I need to cover six hours, I'm just gonna do it all tonight into the wee hours of the morning since the workload during the graveyard shift is so low I can practically sleep at my desk.

Other than that, I have been promoted to be a weekend supervisor at that same job. Which means I have the awesome luck of working this Sunday on my big 23....yeah I know that was a joke, 23 is not exciting other than I can finally rent a car... whoopy..

Well, the teacher is about to finish her lecture. So I am going back to school work.

Until then, ponder over this message.

Today I learned that an increase in price and quantity demanded on the demand curve is known as upward shift, or a shift to the right of the demand curve, you gotta love economics (^_^)

So............my dear friend Xanga it has been quite some time since I last spilled my thoughts onto this page that's about to be overflowed by my random ramblings.

I was speaking with Duyen the other day and she keeps me asking the question, "when was the last time you wrote in your xanga?" and my usual answer is "Forever ago!" Of course I get so occupied with everything else in my life. Work taking up the most time, followed by school, Duyen, and of course my lovely collection of video games. Unfortunately I am missing a very important piece in there which would be my music.

Not to say I don't appreciate it, I find myself listening more and more to music every chance I get, especially in the car considering how much I drive. But I just haven't quite found the time to play my guitar or my piano. Hmm, what can I say, so much to do, so little time to do it in.

It's ok, in other aspects of my life, Duyen and I have known each other for 2 years now, whereas our 2 year anniversary of being together will be in February. Does that confuse anyone? But back to point, I notice that I do not write about Duyen much here. Which in contrast to my previous "experiences" is a big difference as I usually wrote about EVERYTHING. Why the sudden change though? I can't say, I notice that I go on Myspace and Facebook at most once a week now. The only reason I go on Facebook is for one thing. Texas Hold'Em. Awesome game everybody should try it out.

But anyways, Duyen and I are doing awesome. It feels great to have someone that isn't so much as supportive in what I do, or able to express their thoughts to me, but it's to have someone who is able to let me be me, whether I'm annoying, obnoxious, smelly, stinky, or arrogant, and still LOVE me for who I am. I notice that lately I've been a bit more reckless and often times the stress takes over and it ends up rubbing off on her. As a result we've had a couple fights in the last month that I wasn't particularly fond of because it was mostly arguments about family issues. But fights are needed in every relationship for many different reasons. Personally for me I believe they make the relationship stronger and able to endure more as the rocky, extreme weather, and upward road of life has shown us. I still wake up each morning amazed at how I was able to have such a wonderful girl like her.

Most of the time though, I do get scared that I'm not doing enough for HER, as my previous experiences taught me, you have to fix yourself, before you can give more to someone else. Lately, I've been seeing myself do things that I am honestly very disappointed in myself for doing, and I wish to do better and be a better person because Duyen does so many things for me, and I feel like I let her down.

Regardless, I have to keep going, and in the end, if something is important to me, I will do everything I can to keep it.

Other than that, I was reminded that my birthday is coming up. Which I replied, "oh really? I forgot" Literally I actually forgot my birthday is coming up. That feeling I used to have when I was child where I get the jitters in my stomach when I knew I was about to be spoiled with presents and I would feel like the center of the freakin universe is gone. It's ok, it's this stupid thing called age and I swear to Buddha (God, for those of you who didn't catch my joke), when I have kids I will NOT say to them "oh god I'm getting old." That's a good way of bringing negativity from something positive. I mean come on! Being older means you are a year more experienced! I will not use the phrase, "A Year Older, A Year Wiser" because we all know that, with many people that is NOT the case, but I use the word "experience" because that's a nice way of saying, mistakes, whether or not you learn from them is up to you.

This is a long blog, but a well deserved one. I want to say I hope to write in here again soon, because since I've gone on a Xanga/Journal/Blogging Hiatus for the past couple months I am now missing portions of my life that I did not record in this Journal. But with how I am who knows when's the next time I'll write in here. Maybe on my next birthday HA!

"Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquillity."- James Thurber

Today I learned that if I wait for myself to be in the mood to do something, it will never ever get done, if I need to do something then I just need to do it.

Yes... it has definitely been a very very very long while since I've been on here, and I will make sure I actually write about what's been going on in my life this time and NOT put it off... much like my other responsibilities.

So today a classmate asked me, "so.. do you work before you come to class or do you have something going on before class? I just notice that you're always late, even on tests."
My response, "No... it's just a very bad habit."

I am very similar to a character in the anime Naruto named Kakashi. Only in the sense that I am chronically LATE to everything. Well... not necessarily everything but I notice that my bad habit has been shifted to the job in the last 2 weeks and it's NOT acceptable, obviously since I want to keep my job.

Of course the tardiness always affects my morning classes since it's always my first class that I am late to. Most likely because I have a problem waking up and I take a tad bit longer to get ready since I get distracted so easily. I mean.. even though this is a BIG problem, I've still been keeping with my classes, just not as well as I should be. Which makes the tardiness ALL the much more NOT acceptable. 

Meanwhile....for the rest of my life.

There's been a huge change in my life and I surprised I haven't been writing about it as much as I used to in the past. For the past year I've been in a wonderful and amazing relationship. Normally I write a lot about this stuff, but I've been caught up with life and as usual prioritize my time in different departments. Not to say, she's not worth writing about, but I end up spending most of free time with her.

Introductions first, her name is Duyen, and we both met at school. The first time I saw her I immediately thought, "Oh boy.. another stuck up asian girl" and being me, I started teasing and giving her a hard time. Of course when you assume you end up getting the wrong impressions of somebody, which obvoiusly, this was the case. So we started talking throughout the months and we really took our time knowing each other. It was pretty hard to resist saying "Hey.. so I like you and uh.........you like me... soooooo...........*wink wink*" But taking our time was worth it, we became official on February 15, 2008, the day AFTER Valentine's Day. Yeah I know, romantic huh (^_~).

Either way, this last year that I've been with her has been pretty amazing. I guess I've gone through a fair amount of things in the past that hopefully, I know what NOT to do in a relationship, although I still worry I end up making mistakes (which I do, but she's forgiving). She treats me well, in fact she treats me extremely well. I want to write about every single little thing she does, but that's in a seperate written journal somewhere else. There's just too much to write about. She's pretty amazing even if she doesn't believe it.

Well, I'm off to ASA meeting.

Cheers.

Magic Jack tech support is a fucking joke.

Firda, befor

I fucking hate the Magic Jack, not because it's bad product, but the fact that their customer support is full the most stupid fucking people.

This is an ACTUAL conversation I had with Magic Jack's "Chat" support.
