The Go-Getter

I watched The Go-Getter last night; such a good movie. Just what I needed.

Plus, I really like Zooey Deschanel. Hence, as I mentioned in my post awhile ago, why I also can't wait until I watch this movie:

Summer Skin

by Death Cab For Cutie - currently listening.

"and I don't recall a single care, just greenery and summer air"

My summer has been super super busy. It's been two weeks now that I've been working. Within these two weeks, I have lost all, all, the weight I have gained in the one year I've been away at college. It's very routine and tiring, but it's still pretty fun. It's fun to have conversations in spanish with all my co-workers. I especially like it when spanish-speaking customers talk to me in spanish thinking I speak spanish as well since all my co-workers are spanish and my boss is amazingly fluent in spanish. And it's really cool because I can answer questions and talk back in spanish. It's actually fun speaking another language in real life other than in spanish class back in high school. Four months of this, and I will learn more spanish than I ever did in the past six years. Awesome.

You know what's more awesome? Ever buy something and could never put it down from your hands after purchasing it? Well, I did. My camera finally came in the mail on Thursday and my memory card on Friday. This is definitely a purchase that I do not regret spending big bucks on. It was definitely worth it! And I haven't been able to put my new baby down since last night. Here's some shots from me exploring and fooling around with my new camera for hours. heheh enjoy :)

do you see hearts?

I want to travel.

but it seems like something I can't afford right now.
I want to be surrounded by unfamiliar, unusual, new things.

What's new?

New and exciting things need to start happening...

I've been so so so busy! I haven't been on the computer in such a long time. I feel so behind on my blog-reading, twittering, and everything! hahah. So what I have been up to now that school's over? Overall, I just want to say that I am really proud of myself for ending my first year of college with stellar grades :) Pharmacy school is only going to get harder each year, and I'm glad I finished my first year...now five more years to go. You can do it Kris! :) Despite the doubts I had this year about my future, as of now, I am content with where my future is going. When I remind myself of my bigger prize in six years, it keeps me just a little bit sane. I moved out of my dorm Monday night. At the current house I'm living in now, I don't have my own room, closet, bathroom, or anything. So my stuff is just laying around here and there in the tiny spaces thats left in this house. I'm living out my suitcase, the chair I use as my closet, and the couch which I use as my bed. I can't wait until next month. By end of June beginning of July, my new house should be completely finished being built, and I get to have my own room, closet, dressers, bed, and bathroom again! I'm really excited. I've made a couple visits to my new house and I can't wait to live inside it! Call me crazy, but Monday night I moved out of my dorm - Tuesday I started working. I'm currently working in the city at the same place I worked at last summer. Everyday, I wake up at 6AM, get ready, get on the bus at 7:20AM, and get to work by 9AM, work work work until closing, and get home by 8:30PM. Then, I come home, eat dinner, then pass out. And then the next day is the same thing all over again. I'm never home; I practically live in the city, and I absolutely love it! :) Unfortunately, all the studying at school and then working right after, physically drained me. I haven't gone through a day this week without popping a pill of tylenol. Mind you I'm already medicated from the cold medicine. I'm currently sick again, and I'm using my weekend to recuperate and hopefully fully recover before starting another week. Work has been more fun than last summer because I'm really enjoying the company of my spanish co-workers. We speak in spanish and it's really fun. I even do sales and help customers in spanish and that's exciting also. Hopefully, by the end of my summer, I'll improve my spanish beyond what I have learned in high school. And I also really love what my boss did to the store. She's also very artistic and loves designing and decorating, so the store has gotten so much cuter and prettier than last summer. When I get an apartment in the future, I almost want her to pick out my furniture and stuff hahah. Despite the long hours of standing at work, about 9 hours straight!, I really enjoying working and making my money again. Let me tell you it felt great receiving my first envelope of $ of the summer yesterday ;) Hmm what else what else. Oh yeah, I should also be expecting my new camera in the mail this week :D Yes, I finally got it! I'm super stoked. Unfortunately, I won't be home to receive the package, but I'm flying home after work the day it gets delivered. Right now, I'm actually content with where my life is right now. I have my puppy, LG, the trio, good friends, good GPA, and a nice job. I like keeping myself busy. so this summer, when I'm not working, I'm going to continue with my drawing, photocapturing, and pianoplaying, my three favoritesss. Oh, and I also need to get my ass to the library to pick out nice reads for the communte back and forth. Yay to Summer09, I'm looking forward to and ready for anything this summer will unravel itself for me : )

my puppy, Joy<3

I'm done!!!
Freshman year is over! It was a really great first year, and it fleeeew by. and no, I'm not sad about all of it ending, because I'll just make next year even greater :)!
Have a great bangin' summer!

Tough Love

Happy Mother's Day to the all the wonderful moms out there :D!! It is a beautiful Sunday morning. Perfect timing, especially after a week of gray, rainy days. I think this is probably one of the few times that I didn't mind the rain because I was indoors studying my life away anyway. If it was nice, then I would've been really sad. Speaking of my post title:: There are two types of moms. At least the way I see it. One is the type where you see the love emanating from them towards her children. That's probably where you get that mother-daughter relationship sort of thing. The second type is the type I have. My mother and I don't really have any sort of special relationship. Yeah, we talk, but we don't talk talk. Just tough love. We don't really "show" or "say" love...hahah. I'm doing a horrible job at describing this... I'll give you a few scenarios. If I studied my ass for a test and did well. My mom will say something like, "Good job. Study harder. Why are you always playing??" Stuff like that to push me to do better. She always keeps me on my tippy toes, and never gives me slack or never lets me stay too long in the comfort zone. However, despite, all her ways which seem "strict" and "un-loving", I especially noticed this year that behind her harsh words and everything, she really is the Type One mom deep inside underneath all the layers of her heart. When I'm struggling, and she's trying to talk to me, I can sense a different meaning in her words. Of course, when I was younger, I was totally blind to this stuff. Which is why now I can even see myelf maturing little by little every day. It's tough love, an expression of love in a harsh and stern way in order to help me in the long run. For us, it's both ways; even with me I don't tell her happy jolly lovely things. This morning, I texted my mom: "happy mothers day [smiley icon][flower icon]" and she texted back "thank you i love you good luck test" :) hehehe. You see, she'd never say this in person. If she did, I'd feel weirded out hahah because it's not something we normally say to each other.. I would prefer her not to say that actually.. but it's just these little things that prove that she does have love in her somewhere that sometimes just wants to come out once in a while :) :)

I have a weakness to the little, simple things :)

caffeine: 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine

It's Saturday May 9th. So it's finally the morning of my general/organic chemistry final exam. The despised exam I've been studying for like a crazy woman. I think my friend and I had the MOST amount of coffee and dunkin donuts runs within this week than we have all semester. Believe me; I am not exaggerating. Addicted. Towards the end of this week, we'd get really bad stomach aches from drinking coffee. My final is at 1 PM. I've studied the best I can, so let me just take the final already! Our coffee run before the test for our last minute review sesh later will probably be the last cup of coffee for a while...

I think my horoscope means something good..ha
okiee, later!
