for some reason i get really nervous and scared when i call him, most of the time atleast.  i dont kno wat's wrong with me, but i end up crying a lot afterwards.  i especially hate asking him for stuff.  i dunno.  its just hard for me.  so yea the apartment contract situation just got even more confusing and frustrating, but i think (crossing my fingers) everthing will be okay now.  i think we (me, ann, judy, and connie) decided to each get our own parents to sign the guarantor thing.  so hopefully that works and we get it turned in.  and i hope we get an extended deadline.  but yea, my dad didnt really seem like he wanted to do it for me.  he was very very hesitant when i called him again.  i dunno...we'll see&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but yea....on a good note =)  yesterday we all (me, connie, will, phuong, angelene, lester, henry, lawrence, and minh) went to get FREE icecream at Ben &amp; Jerry's at the Spectrum.  it was pretty fun.  havent hung out with them for awhile.  and today we (me, connie, ann, phuong, and john) went to Baskin Robbins to get FREE icecream again!!  i saw some other people i knew there.  hehe weired how when there is free stuff, all the asians are there.  freakin asians!!  hahaha.  and i saw my friend audrey there too, she works there, what?!?  she never told me.  its weird cuz she goes to CSULB, but she was working in irvine.  hmm... *shrug*  now i kno where to go to get hooked up with icecream =) yay!!   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well there's also some other stuff here and there that bothers me.  but its ok. i wont let it get to me.  oh yea...ahh!! dance practice tomorrow.  its gonna be the first time we're actually gonna start our routine stuff. im scared.  speakin of scared....GOOD LUCKS TO ANTHONY!! who is gonna start living his life totally on his own.  no support from his dad whatsoever and also his own place!!  hehe...sounds pretty scary to me.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hehe i also noticed something today.  when people say some dumb or embarassing stuff, they usually use "tired" as an excuse.  haha "im tired" is the phrase.      &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4010488-93577783?l=janetketruong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/93577783'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/93577783'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://janetketruong.blogspot.com/2003_04_27_archive.html#93577783' title=''/><author><name>janet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14035049510429691589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010488.post-93452862</id><published>2003-04-29T00:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-04-29T00:51:10.163-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>wtf is goin on!?!  ive been goin through so much crap lately.  first of all, last week on friday i had two midterms and a paper due.  dude...i can only do so much at once.  i f@%Cked up on my midterms cuz of my damm paper.  i even studied ahead of time, but i guess not enough on the last day.  i have short term memory :( on top of all that i have lil sis stuff, well that aint too bad.  just a little time consuming and plus i cant stay home that long cuz i have events on sundays.  we also have dance practice on mondays and thursdays and i cant dance for crap.  oh wellz. and on friday on the way home i called my mom to ask if she was at home already so she can sign papers for financial aid and apartment stuff for next year which was due the next day.  but noooo!! she was in freakin Iowa.  what the hell?!? and then she tells me that she mite move to Iowa with my sisters.  what about me?!? ill have no home to go home to.  and then she said "well, u can see us on holidays..."  what?!? she was the one saying that even Irvine was far enough and that she doesnt see me much.  ahhh!!  i would seriously be so sad if my family left me to go to stupid Iowa.  im already freakin scared just hearing about it.  why Iowa?!?  uhhh!!  im so mad.  yeah and then...i went to church on friday nite and saw my friends for like the first time in a long time.  i feel so bad that i havent spent time with them lately.  like everytime they call me to do something, im always busy.  plus i miss them.  i miss my sisters too!! havent seen them either.  and then on saturday i had to track someone down to sign papers for me.  that was freakin frustrating too!! my mom was in Iowa, i dont really talk to my dad or dont kno his number actually, my uncle went to vegas,  my other uncle and grandpa couldnt sign the checks for me, and so finally i got my aunt to do it.  then i had to rush back to Irvine in order to turn the papers in for our apartment next year.  and geez!! the man was like "oh...uh...they have to either sign it in front of us or it has to be notarized"  NOTARIZED?!? fuuuuck...like i was supposed to kno what that was. so i asked connie if her parents would do it for us, but she said they would only do it for her.  ahh!! i guess im gonna have to ask someone else if they could drive up to Irvine.  cuz judy and ann (my other future roomates =] ) they're parents are up north.  and then sunday we had a lil sis event.  lets just say that i wasnt made for that kind of stuff, plus i was hungry.  but the part where we actually got up to the "C" was cool.  bonding and stuff was nice.  but the tarantula...uhh...that was not cool at all. hahaha...but the best part was after.  me, my big bro, and desiree went to Church's Chicken and got our grub on.  i didnt care if i gained like 10 pounds from that.  that was some good shiiiettt...esp cuz it was my first and last meal of the day.  yeah...and then today...monday...school sucked.  and then someone tells me that they need to take some time to be by themself for like a week or somethin.  its not like we spend that much time together anyways.  but yeah, i guess i understand...or sorta guessing that its for school or somethin.  i dunno. whatever...i wont talk about it.  im pretty busy myself anyways.  yeah...so much stress, frustration, confusion, tiredness. ummm....just isnt my week or month or watever.  i wanna just go home for awhile and sleep in my bed.  i dont kno who to talk to.  i feel like there's no one that really knows everything about me.  my friends back home dont kno about my irvine life and my friends here dont kno about my home life or about me period.  and i dont wanna bother anyone cuz everyone seems busy and stuff.  well yea....i guess writing in this blog sorta helps.  but i cant say everything i wanna say.  no one probably reads this anyways.  but yea, just in case.  ok well...time to put on my smile and pretend like everything is fine.  im so good at that. =)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4010488-93452862?l=janetketruong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/93452862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/93452862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://janetketruong.blogspot.com/2003_04_27_archive.html#93452862' title=''/><author><name>janet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14035049510429691589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010488.post-92970928</id><published>2003-04-21T00:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2003-04-21T00:16:24.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>life isnt bad at all =) hehe...i dunoo..just felt like saying that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yesterday for edward's b-day.  me, him, and his friends went to the spectrum.  our plan was to smoke some hookah.  hmm...in a way i was looking forward to tryin it.  but oh wellz maybe next time cause it was just too damm expensive.  they raise the price on weekends.  how sucky.  so we just walked around for a little.  and his friend teresa and lucian got some crepes.  mmm...yumm yumm.  they looked good.  but i didnt want any cuz i just ate icecream.  so then we headed back to edward's dorm to get our drink on.  hehehe some of the guys had to celebrate 4-20 too.  its so fun when everyone is drinking and being all hyper and stuff =)  when edward went to the bathroom, we busted out the cake i bought him and lit the candles and sang happy birthday to him when he came back.  then after a couple hours everyone was went home.  edward opened the present i got him.  i think he liked it...or atleast i hope.  he wore one of the shirts today.  i thought they were too big, but they actually fit. woo hoo!!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and then he asked me to be his girlfriend, again.  but im not sure if he meant it...since he was drunk and all.  hmmm...and i forgot to ask him about it today.  im confused.  i guess ill ask him about it tomorrow. but its not a big deal.  we're pretty much together anyways.  its just the whole title thing.  i dunno *shrug*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when we finally woke up today, which was around 3, we decided to go get some lunch.  i wanted pizza so we drove to newport and got some at this one place and ate it at the beach.  burrr...it was kind cold at the beach.  but we stayed until we finished the whole large pizza with pepperoni and pineapples.  yummy...it was good.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and then i studied for awhile and here i am now.  bloggin away.  i think im gonna sleep super early tonite.  yay!!

moleste him.  :p  hehe.  it was nice seeing stella and the other people that were there.  then on saturday afternoon i pretty much just drove here and there.  then last nite i came back to irvine to keep edward company.   i bought us vietnamese food for dinner.  i got us pho bo vien (beef ball pho), com tam (some rice stuff with meat and stuff), and some cha gio (eggrolls).  hehe good stuff.  we

thing and there was gonna be korean bbq.  hahaha...so being the hungry pig i am i decided to join them and tag along.  i wasnt planning to rush at all, but after being there and meeting a couple of the guys,  i kinda had second thoughts.  they gave me an application, but i didnt fill it out.  but the next day they were having a party at THE PIER, a club in long beach.  ann and desiree said that if i go they'll go, so i was like OKAY!! y not.  so that nite me, ann, desiree, and even mindy went to the flagpole where the guys picked us up and drove us to the frat house for a pre-party.  there i met more of the guys.  all of them are so nice.  then they gave me another application because they said it was due that nite.  so i filled that out in the car.  i didnt really kno who to choose for a big-bro tho.  later i found out from edward that one of the guys i put, charles, is his friend jenny's brother.  weird, what a small world.  anyways, the club was fun.  i saw so many people there.  frank, minh, and alan met us there.  i saw white boy, zhen, jon tam, chris, jenny, deanna, and even piam.  they all asked me where edward was, but sigh...he wasnt there with me.  i wished he was there tho.  it would have been more fun.  i danced with a couple of the guys tho.  they're pretty cool.  this one guy named chris (i think) was really funny.  dancing with him was fun.  he wouldnt show me the peanut butter and jelly dance tho =(.  well yea...so now im rushing too!!  hopefully it'll be cool and ill get a really nice big bro.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

saw henry and kenneth on thursday nite at a club in riverside, then i went to k-town with anthony on friday nite, and shot pool with keith and jeff on saturday.  all those guys are good friends with eachother.  they were all from the same group in highschool.  havent seen all of them for awhile.  ive always wanted to have like a get together with them or somethin.  but i guess i kinda had that in a way.  like a few at a time. hehe.  nice seeing everyone again.  on sunday i had this family get together thing with my family.  i ate all day.  like non-stop.  nice hanging out with family once in awhile.  but all we do is eat.  hehe no wonder i have a big ass.  yesterday me and edward were talking and stuff.  and i guess we realized that we took things kinda fast.  so we decided to take things back a step.  and we are now just "seeing eachother but not seeing anyone else".  yea we do need to know eachother more.  hehe...i guess now i can look forward to him askin me out again and all that good stuff.  sigh...its so boring.  there's nothin to do these days.  i just sit in front of my computer like all day and take naps.  geez.  i wanna go to the beach.  i really need a tan.  hmm....hopefully it'll stay hot from now on.  ok...thats all for now. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'></title><content type='html'>geez....im so bad at keeping up with bloggin.  well over spring break i had no choice.  i had no access to the internet whatsoever.  my sis' laptop didnt work.  and ofcourse my computer is still broken and sitting there collecting dust.  well anyways.  spring break wasnt really exciting at all.  it seems like i was at home alot.  but i only ate dinner with my family twice the whole time.  plus i didnt see them much cuz i got home when people were sleeping and got up when everyone was gone.  practically home alone most of the time.  well i did a lot of shopping over the break.  i also watched the The Ring for my second and third time.  but i was still scared. the images are just way too disturbing. let's see...over the break i met some more of edward's friends.  went outlet shopping with them and drank with them too.  they're pretty cool.  i also went to a highschool dance with some guy i didnt even kno.  but i guess it was fun.  i felt so out of place tho.  i was disapointed because no one performed this time.  the last time i went, KAI performed.  oh wellz.  it was fun dancing  and stuff.  hahahah.  i set my boundaries, no freaking or anything, i promised edward.  i wouldnt have anyways.  but yea.   it brought back highschool memories.  those were the days.  i also went to my baby cousin's birthday thing on saturday.  dang...my uncle and his friends got so so drunk.  they tried getting me and my other two cousins to drink too.  but we only drank a little, since we all drove and had to go somewhere later.  i went to edward's and watched The Ring,  i was kinda scared on the way home.  i scared myself in the car.  i thought i saw something in the rear view mirror.  hahaha.  but it was just my imagination.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ahhh....yea im back at school.  i guess i did better this quarter.  but still not good at all.  im so frustrated with my whole schedule and stuff.  hopefully everything will be okay soon.  geez...college is frustrating.  its not that hard, but hard to concentrate.  *sigh*  i needa be more studious.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

talking to ann.  and guess wat...she forgot to eat too!!  so i told her about my lee's sandwhiches craving.  and she said "let's go!!"  so i asked minh do if he wanted to come too.  he said yea, but he had to finish chem h/w first.  so me and ann went over to grayhavens to wait.  i was gonna help him, but i didnt even kno how to do it.  uhhhh.....we waited 4 hours!!  and he didnt even pass.  that really sux for him.  he musta been so frustrated.  oh wellz...yea it wasnt too bad waiting around, except that i was super hungry.  willbert kept lighting things on fire with the special lighter.  crazy pyromaniac.  i dunno wat we were doin...but we got through it.  finally around 12ish...me, ann, minh, will, lawrence, and phuong headed off to lee's sandwhiches.  i had to spot lawrence and i had to get a sandwhich for frank and chris.  so i bought 10 sandwhiches in total.  5 of them were for me and edward.  i also bought 4 flans, but i forgot to take 2 of them =(  i was too excited about the sandwiches.  i also got some strongass vietnamese coffee.  that stuff is good, but very very strong.  it got me so hyper.  when we got back.  we all watched friends.  it was so funny.  everyone was eating, but i was full from the coffee or something, so i couldnt eat.  then afterwards me and ann went over to edwards hall.  we drank a little bit.  it was beer, so i couldnt drink that much of it.  makes me so so full.  yea...i think i was the only really hyper one.  but didnt wanna do stupid stuff since everyone else was kinda tired.  we slept like all day today.  didnt actually get up till it was dark again. hahaha.  atleast we had the rest of the sandwiches to eat.  super lazy.  then i did some studyin up until now.  yea.  anyways....time to go over to see edward again =) &lt;div

type='text'></title><content type='html'>well lately ive been tryin just a little harder in school.  but it doesnt seem to help that much.  i just hope i pass all my classes.  please pray for me!!  yea and lately my friend has been having these major guy problems.  i think she actually does like this one guy, but she wont really admit it.  but at the same time i think she likes him more now cause he has decided to avoid her lately.  thats really weird how sometimes u dont really like a person, but when they're gone, u kinda miss them and want thier attention again.  anyways yea, i hope she resolves her problems.  i havent been to the CA meetings lately.  ive been busy i guess.  things always come up on thursday nites for some reason.  time goes by so quickly.  I NEED MORE TIME!!  finals are coming up so soon.  ahhh..im so scared. well atleast after that it'll be springbreak =)  but then another quarter begins rite after =(  oh wellz.  i will do good next quarter.  i hope.  i think im going to Lake Havasu on the first weekend of spring break.  i really hope we do go.  i was in math class and deanna was like "so are u goin to Lake Havasu with ed and them?"  i was so confused.  never even heard anything about it.  she was like "yea they said u were goin"  hahaha...so i asked edward later and yea i guess im goin.  i need a tan before i wear my bathing suit in public tho.  eee...those nasty white legs!! so embarassing.  and i think ill be working out quite a bit.  uhhh yea...its hard being a girl sometimes.  well i guess we also have our advantages too.  umm yea...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so yea....anonymous person:&lt;br /&gt;well yea at first i just thought he was cute.  i didnt like him or anything, just cute.  then i saw him around school sometimes.  we'd say hi and stuff and sometimes talk for a couple minutes or so.  and yea...i kinda have a thing for quiet shy guys.  they seem so mysterious or somethin. i dunno.  and they have the cutest smiles.  i love watching him talk because he kinda does this smile thing when he talks and then his eyes get all small and stuff. its soooo cute.  it makes me smile everytime.  so yea, first it was physical cuteness that attracted me.  then it was his quietness.  its not like the scary intimidating quietness.  its the friendly kind.  and damm.....aww....those smiles =)  yea after we hung out a couple a times, i dunno.  we just clicked i guess.  i think we just felt comfortable around eachother.  its fun just talkin to him and stuff.  he makes me laugh.  i dunno.  maybe its the way he stares at me.  its a little weird sometimes how he just stares for the longest time, but at the same time i think its a good thing.  it kinda gives me this nice and calm feeling.  &lt;b&gt;ahhh!! I DUNNO&lt;/b&gt;.  &lt;b&gt;i just like him okay!!  &lt;/b&gt;to me he's cute and has a good personality that fits me at the same time.  double the points alrite.  what do u want me to say?!?    &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4010488-90512861?l=janetketruong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/90512861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/90512861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://janetketruong.blogspot.com/2003_03_09_archive.html#90512861' title=''/><author><name>janet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14035049510429691589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010488.post-90194170</id><published>2003-03-05T12:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-03-05T13:00:19.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;looks and personality...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;looks are what attract u in the beginning.  thats what makes u look the first time.  but personality is what u look at the second time.  a person can be really good lookin, but with a bad personality they could be the ugliest person.  a good personality brings out the cuteness in people.  although, there are those that ur not really attracted to at first, but with a cute personality, they seem more and more attractive each time u look.  looks may give u an advantage at first because it mite be easier to get someone's attention, but without that personality, u'll most likely lose that person quick too.  personality is more important, but i have to admit, its easier when the person is good lookin at the same time.  hehe =P  i also think that people are attracted to not only different types physically, but also different personality types.  some people like the talkative outgoing people.  some like them quiet and calm.  some like the jokesters and some cant stand those dumb jokes.  sometimes ur the only one that understands a person when other people think they're wierd or boring or stupid.  i guess ur the only one that can judge a personality and decide whether its the personality that fits u.  sometimes a good personality to one person may not be as great to u.  well yea...blah blah blah.  i think thats enough on personality.  does that answer ur question, person that asked...???     &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4010488-90194170?l=janetketruong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/90194170'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/90194170'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://janetketruong.blogspot.com/2003_03_02_archive.html#90194170' title=''/><author><name>janet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14035049510429691589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010488.post-90130051</id><published>2003-03-04T12:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-03-04T12:26:05.483-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>lets see...&lt;br /&gt;yesterday i went to class. yea.  and then i had lunch with edward.  then went to the post office to turn in my FAFSA.  very very last minute.  then we took a nap.  or atleast i forced him to. hehe.  my habits have rubbed off on him.  nappin has become a part of his daily life.  then we woke up and had dinner.  haha eat sleep and then eat some more!!  then later on i went to work out with ann =)  we walked there.  ann forgot her ID and they wouldnt let her in without a picture ID, so we walked all the way back and then back again.  hehe that was a work out in itself.  oh wellz.  that made up for the running that we didnt do.  i saw my cousin christine there, so she gave us a ride back.  and i actually did some homework last nite.  so proud of myself.  i also talked to two of my guy cousins about girl problems that they were having.  poor guys. it was graces birthday so i called her.  &lt;b&gt;HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE&lt;/b&gt;!!

but i pretty much just layed on my bed watching TV and nappin more till about 5:30.  Jessica called me and told me that we were gonna hang out with the mark keppel guys.  we were supposed to have a girl's nite out clubbin, but i guess not.  so i had to get up and get ready.  I went over to jessica’s after and I ate some korean food that her mom made.  &lt;b&gt;yummy&lt;/b&gt;!!  I love korean food.  it’s the best.  me, jessica, christine, kelly, cathy, and joanne met the guys at life plaza.  it was kenny, danny, clarence, and derrick.  we were gonna watch a movie, but we were laggin it. &lt;b&gt; damn asians&lt;/b&gt;!! always laggin.  so we decided to rent a movie from blockbusters and go to my house.  it took us forever to get a movie, so we decided to not get one, since the guys said they had to leave around 1.  so we just went to my house and watched TV and stuff.  what liars!!  the guys didnt even leave at 1, they stayed forever!!  everyone except kelly stayed till like 5 am playin dumb games.  &lt;b&gt;geez&lt;/b&gt;!!  well after i drove all the girls home, which was about 6 am, i knocked out rite away.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;february 16, 2003:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;people kept callin me this mornin, but i finally woke up around 3ish.  i thought i was gonna stay home and just chill and do homework.  but no!!  jessica called me and asked if i wanted to go to a bonfire with kenny and his friends, so i said okay.  me, jess, kelly, sarah, and joanne drove to bolsa chica.  on the way there, this weird thing happened.  this car drove next to us for the longest time and this guy kept lookin at us and then he stuck his hand to his head like a gun and stared at us.  i dont kno what he was doin.  the girls were all scared, but i was like "&lt;b&gt;calm down&lt;/b&gt;!!"  hehe they're such girlie girls. he continued to drive near us for awhile, but he finally went away.  the bonfire was alrite.  it was a little weird cause we didnt kno that many people there.  we made smores tho.  afterwards, us girls decided not to go to the kick back in san marino like we planned, so instead we decided to go to K-town.  we went to take those trading card pictures, but they didnt come out so great.  jessica was kinda tense since she didnt like the pictures and she was really hungry.  haha she really needed to just chill.  we went to korean food. &lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;yay!!  some random things happened there.  this bum came in and asked us for money in korean.  he was a black guy, speakin korean.  this drunk mexican guy also came in and started singin all loud and stuff.  sarah wanted to go to Balcony, a pool hall/cafe after, but we were all too tired.  so we headed home.  and here i am now.  and i thought i was gonna have a chill "relazing" weekend at home.  hopefully ill stay home &lt;b&gt;ALL&lt;/b&gt; day tomorrow to just lounge around and eat dinner with my family for once.  so glad there's no school tomorrow.  alrity, that enough bloggin.  time to sleep!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4010488-89232684?l=janetketruong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/89232684'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/89232684'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://janetketruong.blogspot.com/2003_02_16_archive.html#89232684' title=''/><author><name>janet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14035049510429691589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010488.post-89112706</id><published>2003-02-14T13:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-02-14T13:41:07.723-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!

 thats kinda old.  my mom didnt even say anything tho.  she just kept sayin its up to me.  and ever since that.  everytime i go over to my mom's friends house.  he calls him to come over.  but everytime ive left b4 he came.  but not this time.  the doorbell kept ringing the whole nite...but the one time no one went to answer it....i did.  and guess who!!  yea...it was the guy.  it was weird.  and my mom's friend kept finding excuses for him to come over to talk to my mom cause i was rite next to her.  so obvious.  jason and justin were picking me up so i went outside to wait for them.  and while i was outside...the guy was talking to me and stuff.  kinda weird.  i wonder if he still likes me.  even my mom says its weird.  his brother used to work for my mom.  and i see him like an uncle and stuff.  anywayz....i went clubbin that nite at UNION.  it was pretty fun.  CADC (chinese association dance crew) and some other dance crew from cslb performed.  it was good.  yea it was fun dancing and stuff.  havent done that for awhile.  i also saw my cousins wayne and christine there and an old friend, ken from highschool and geena, one of my old friends.  yea...i was so exhausted after that.  fell asleep in the car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today:  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;woke up at like 2.  ate a huge lunch.  hehe and fell asleep.  dude...im so lazy.  woke up at 5.  did laundry.  and went to eat with my friends.  no wonder im such a fatass!!  hahahaha.  today....i did something ive wanted to do for a long time.  so proud of myself.  but yea...im not gonna talk about it.  dont wanna embarass myself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;alrite...time to start on h/w =(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4010488-88462723?l=janetketruong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/88462723'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/88462723'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://janetketruong.blogspot.com/2003_02_02_archive.html#88462723' title=''/><author><name>janet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14035049510429691589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010488.post-88370391</id><published>2003-02-01T00:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-02-01T00:38:29.960-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>errrr!!!

 what a bargain =)  but thats all i got there.  after the mall it was super crammin for chem nite. john chen helped me alot.  what a lifesaver.  we also took a break to get some starbucks.  i pulled an all niter.  but it wasnt even worth it &gt;[   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;january 27, 2003:&lt;/b&gt;errr!!  i took my chem midterm.  that thing was so freakin hard!!  i studied all nite and still didnt do good.  i hate my professor.  i think everyone else does too.  he's such an ass.  he yells at people and embarasses them in front of the whole class of like 300 people.  no one understands what he says.  he was giving us directions and i didnt even kno what he was talking about.  dude...and he asked for definitions on the midterm.  what kind of chem teacher does that?!?  but yea i think i failed...but hopefully so did most people.  so im gonna pray for an extremely low curve.  after the midterm i took a short nap for like 3 hours.  after that, i started on my paper for writing.  i went over to grayhavens to do it in the study room.  for some reason i can concentrate better there.  i wasted alot of time tho.  i talked on the phone with like two people for like 2 hours.  damm.  i wanted pizza so frank and lawrence told me to go to newport to get the huge yet cheap pizzas.  errr!!  they were closed.  i drove all the way there for nothin.  and frank kept sayin "are u sure u went to the rite one??"  uhhh...yea!!  i was gettin a little frustrated.....just a little.  anyways i bought myself a sandwhich from albertsons.  i like those....they're good and healthy.  i also bought some caramel frappuccino and some ben and jerry's icecream.  and then i pulled another all niter. sigh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i finally finished writing my paper...sorta. around 7 am.  then i helped minh do with chem.  i was so tired.  i think i kinda gave him bad attitude cause i was cranky and stuff. haha. sorries.  but yea....helping him was makin me frustrated.  but i think he kinda understood what i was telling him.  i hope.  so yea i typed my paper up and ran to class and turned it in.  after writing i had my math midterm.  ahhhh....i didnt get to study that much for it.  i kno i failed that thing.  then after that i still couldnt sleep.  i had to do my pre-lab write up.  plus my computer was being freakin slow and stuff.  then off to chem lab it was.  it wasnt too bad today.  we got out in 2 hours.  today is just not my day!!  or yesterday!! sigh.  well yea atleast im done now.  &lt;b&gt;i havent slept for 29 hours!!&lt;/b&gt;.  i should be all tired and stuff, but im not.  im sleeping early tonite for sure tho.  make up for those all-niters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4010488-88249249?l=janetketruong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/88249249'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/88249249'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://janetketruong.blogspot.com/2003_01_26_archive.html#88249249' title=''/><author><name>janet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14035049510429691589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010488.post-88074100</id><published>2003-01-26T18:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-01-26T18:52:52.176-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>oh yea i forgot to add.   errr!!

 so proud of myself.  after that i went to the mall to buy a present, but i couldnt find anythin.  it was will's b-day, so i went to Marie Calendar's and bought him a mudd pie.  i remember the day before, he was so into the mudd pie in the cafeteria.  thats y i got him that.  after that i headed off to the CA meeting.  it was a pretty fun meeting.  we had family feud.  there was like six competitions between the families. i think there was like 8 families.  i was in albie's family.  the competions were:  soy-bean milk chuggin, boba spitting, chubby bunny (stuffing as many gaint marshmallows in ur mouth as possible), hungry hungry chinese people (like hungry hungry hippo, but using chopsticks), DDR, and pool.  i did the boba spitting.  i sucked.  i only got one hit.  when we went to the ZOT Zone to do our DDR and pool competitions, i saw minh do, philbert, hideo, and lawbunz there.  i hung out with them afterwards.  i shot pool with them for awhile.  after that we went back to grayhavens to give wilbert the pie.  after that,  me, wilbert, connie, and lawbunz went to albertsons and In &amp; Out.  yumm!!  we also bought a number one for minh do.  lawbunz and wilbert decided to get minh do back for all the times he poured salt in thier drinks.  they put lots of salt, pepper, and ketchup in his dr. pepper.  so gross.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;January 17, 2003:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAM!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yesterday was a up and down day.  my internet wasnt working in the morning and i had class, so that was a down.  on the way back i saw a friend, so that was an up.  when i got back, i received a voice-mail from the housing lady sayin that i have a computer copyrite violation thing and she had to talk to me about it.  &lt;b&gt;they shut off my internet!! =(  &lt;/b&gt;i was so mad.  that was super duper major down!!  i finally reached the lady.  we set up a meeting at 4 pm.  i went to go talk to her.  she said that i have pirated games like DOOM and PACMAN and stuff on my computer.  i was like &lt;b&gt;"WHAT?!?, I DONT EVEN PLAY GAMES!!"  &lt;/b&gt;someone hacked into my computer i guess and uploaded games onto it for other people to download from.  well atleast she believed me and told the guy to turn my internet back on.  all i had to do was erase the files and set up a password, so people cant get into my computer.  she said she usually puts people on some kind probation thing, but since i didnt have anything to do with it, she just made a note of it on my profile.  after that i got ready to go to PAM's birthday thing.  jason picked me up around 7:30 and we went to south coast plaza to get her a gift.  we got her a paul frank beanie and cute paul frank underwear.  we got it wrapped at papyrus. haha.  they put some gigantic bow on it. it was huge!!  we had dinner at &lt;b&gt;BUCA di BEPPO&lt;/b&gt;.  yum yum!!  the food was so good.  we had bread that u dip in olive oil and vinergar, caesar salad, garlic bread, two kinds of pizza, ravioli, spaghetti, good chicken, mashed potato, and tiramisu.  everything was so so so good!!  after that we just went over to zhen's apartment.  they gambled and stuff.  zhen is this guy from CA that looks exactly like my cousin Howard.  its so weird how they look alike.  kinda scary.  when i got back, i went over to grayhavens to give minh do my camera so he can use it for snowboarding today.  i also looked at the new gear he and wilbert bought.  i woulda gone with them but im broke, my stuff is at home, and plus they were goin at 5 in the mornin.  maybe next time.  hope they have lots of fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;rite now im at irvine still.  im planning to go home.  im kinda waiting for ben tsai since im driving him home too.  i think he's still sleeping.  hehe lazy bum.  i wonder what ill do today.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4010488-87656724?l=janetketruong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/87656724'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/87656724'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://janetketruong.blogspot.com/2003_01_12_archive.html#87656724' title=''/><author><name>janet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14035049510429691589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010488.post-87654174</id><published>2003-01-18T14:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-01-18T14:40:42.046-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>testing somethin&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4010488-87654174?l=janetketruong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/87654174'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/87654174'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://janetketruong.blogspot.com/2003_01_12_archive.html#87654174' title=''/><author><name>janet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14035049510429691589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010488.post-87520871</id><published>2003-01-15T21:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-01-17T02:01:11.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>now i have a xanga site too!!

 my writing teacher called on me for the first time.  i got nervous as usual.  i think my face turned red like always.  but atleast i was paying attention at the time, so i knew what to say.  it was hard stayin awake tho through writing and math.  after class i took a nap.  hehe my daily naps.  i had chem lab lecture at 5 pm so i woke up and went to class.  i was kinda lost, so i just followed some people that looked like they were going to the same place. hehe lucky me. i was rite.  that woulda been bad if they went somewhere else.  i wanted to eat after class, but NO...!!  some people wanted to go work out at the ARC.  it took forever for them to get ready.  it was me, minh do, willbert, frank, lawbunz, daniel, and henry.  i wish i had more time to work out even though i was hungry and tired.  we were only there for like 45 minutes because we had to rush back to pippins on time.  parking was hard too, so that didnt help.  i worked out my legs and butt ofcourse haha on the bike and the stairmaster thing. i also worked my abs on the machine where u twist side to side.  i like that thing.  i wanted to run, but no time.  i really needa work out more.  getting just a little fat here and there.  after dinner we all watched this one korean movie called "friends" on phil's computer. i was gonna do h/w....but couldnt resist watchin the movie.  i also did my and minh do's laundry at the same time.  first time i did laundry at school.  the movie was about these four good guy childhood friends.  two of them became gansters and the other two went on to college and stuff.  one ganster guy killed the other ganster because of some misunderstandings and plus they didnt consider eachother as friends anymore.  he goes to jail and stuff.  pretty sad =(  kinda depressing.  after the movie minh do wanted to drop his car off at his aunts house, so i went with him.  i was hungry, so i asked if we could go get some LEE's Sandwiches.  i asked other people if they wanted some too and they said yes.  so all together we bought 9 sandwiches.  for me, minh do, frank, willbert, connie, and lawbunz.  me and minh do also got some flan.  sandwhich was mmm mmm good.  i ate 1 and 1/3 sandwiches.  i wish they opened a LEE's Sandwhiches around here.  i would go there so much.  i havent eaten my flan yet, but i will later on.  hehe me and minh do brought our scooters, so we scootered  back from the far far parking lot.  good thinking minh do.  its so much faster.  oh yea!! on the way back from getting the food.  we drove through the scary part of CAMPUS Dr.  eee....it was super foggy.  we couldnt see anything and minh do decided to scare me more by stopping on the side and turning the lights off and opening my window and saying scary stuff!!  oh my goodness!!  i was so freaked out!!  i didnt even want to look at anything so i grabbed on to his sweater and stuck my face in it.  he made me look up a couple times after he started driving.  ahhh!!  so scary.  i think i kinda had a few tears.  i cant believe i drove through there once by myself last time. how did i do it?!?  i think i almost cried when i did that last time.  im such a chicken =(  what's wrong with me?  that reminds me....jon truong also opened the windows last time on Halloween. i was scared that time too.  people love to scare me!!  im not sure if i wanna go through that street anymore.  especially with meanies that like scaring me.  u guys suck!!  hehe i'll get u back...u just wait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;alrite studyin time..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4010488-87436030?l=janetketruong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/87436030'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/87436030'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://janetketruong.blogspot.com/2003_01_12_archive.html#87436030' title=''/><author><name>janet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14035049510429691589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010488.post-87372391</id><published>2003-01-13T13:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2003-01-13T18:07:34.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;january 11, 2003:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i woke up around 1 pm.  me, minh do, phil, and cj had to rush to get to pippins on time before they closed.  i pretty much sat around all day.  felt so lazy.  i even took a nap or two.  i &lt;i&gt;was &lt;/i&gt;goin to go to target to buy more plastic shelves for my room, but oh wellz.  i let phil and cj borrow my car, so they could go out to eat.  lucky guys....they ate korean food again.  i coulda gone paintballing that morning, but i dont think there was any way i coulda woken up that early.  plus im too scared.  that nite all of us went to hooters.  hehe &lt;b&gt;HOOTERS&lt;/b&gt;!!

 it was a dance competition.  there were like 13 groups that competed and performed.  wow!!  they were so good.  i enjoyed almost every single performance.  i wish i could dance like that =(    both groups from UCI won for both categories, so that was cool.  this guy named Ray from CA also won some rims.  he should have...he bought like 10 raffle tickets!!  oh yea!  there was this one little boy that danced in the all guy group.  he was only like 8 years old or somethin.  &lt;b&gt;SO CUTE!!!&lt;/b&gt;  i wanna kidnap him.  he was such a good dancer!!  not just for a kid, but for anyone.  after that we went to eat.  jason's car had seat warmers...&lt;b&gt;OH YEA&lt;/b&gt;!!  we had chinese food.  i was so so hungry.  first meal of the day and all.  we also had some tapioca.  havent had that in awhile.  i got a almond tapioca milk tea.  yummy.  good stuff.  after that we headed home.  jason ran like two redlights!!

 stupid people. why cant they just include it. &lt;b&gt;GEEZ&lt;/b&gt;!!  but yea i needed it, so philbert let me borrow his.  that night i also went to the CA (Chinese Association) meeting.  it was nice seeing everyone there.  havent seen them since ski trip.  after the meeting we went ice-blocking.  thats where u sit on a block of ice and slide down the hill.  at first i thought it wouldnt work because the blocks were so small.  i went down the hill three times with pam.  it was pretty fun.  i was kinda scared tho.  after that, me, pam, jason, justin, kevin, and zhen went to eat at Del Taco.  philbert and minh do and daniel went to the airport to pick up philbert's bestest friend CJ.  his real name is actually justin jang.  i have no idea why they call him CJ.  anyways yea, i met him and we all ate Del Taco. again.  minh do bought me this huge burrito and i actually finished it.  damm...i could not move after that.  i did homework while they gambled.  minh do lost 35 bucks in coins.  crazy!!  oh yea...lawbunz got me a piglet thing.  its really soft and cute.  &lt;b&gt;THANX LAWBUNZ!! =)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;january 10, 2003:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thursday...&lt;b&gt;i had the worst morning ever =(  &lt;/b&gt;i stayed up the nite before till 6 am doing writing homework.  i was too tired so i went to sleep and decided to wake up at 8 am so i could finish the stuff i didnt finish.  i must have been way too tired or something because i did not even hear my alarm go off at all.  i know i set it and everything.  my roomate woke up, so i thought "hmm...maybe i should just see how much longer i have to sleep".  and what do u know!!  it was 10 am!!  my class starts at 11.  so i was freaking out the whole time about what to do.  and with my luck....my printer didnt work either.  i even spent most of the night before setting the damm thing up.  angeline helped me print my stuff out on her computer.  thanx again =)  i practically ran to class.  i thought i was gonna be late, but i wasnt even close to being late.  the worst part....my teacher didnt even collect any of the homework!!  errr!!  i was so mad.  all the frustration and lack of sleep i went through.  sigh...i was too mad to go to math class after that, so i just went back to my room.  i ate lunch with minh do, philbert, and CJ.  after that, me, minh do, wilbert and CJ headed went to fry's to find the thing that wilbert wanted to buy.  after the long long analyzing, wilbert decided to buy a bracelet instead.  so we went to Brea mall.  couldnt find a nice bracelet, but we did find a super nice Coach purse.  it was black and silverish.  i liked it a lot.  wilbert borrowed my car that night to bring connie to dinner.  how sweet.  hehe.  what would willbert have done without me.  he even made me call in to make the reservations.  me, minh do, CJ, and ann went to eat korean food.  it was so good.  i wanna eat it again.  we were gonna go karaoke-ing, but people got lazy.  so we all ended up just drinking again at grayhavens.  my friend jon and eugene and this girl named kalin came over too from mesa courts.  man...was jon drunk.  he was so messed up.  i felt bad for him.  you ok jon??  it was pretty fun tho.  i also got connie a b-day cake.  the cake was good.  if i knew better i would stay away from grayhavens.  crazy stuff always happens there.  so much drinking and stuff.  but i guess i dont know better, so greyhavens it is. haha. ben tsai also got me a pooh bear for my b-day.  &lt;b&gt;THANX BEN TSAI!!

i hate layered hair!!  err.  well anyways...after that i picked up my ski trip pictures.  eh...there were some wierd pictures.  rite after i picked up jessica because we were goin to john and gloria's birthday dinner. it was a nice dinner.  my friend frank was back from his trip to china, so he was there.  i gave him his present from me and david.  i think he liked it.  after dinner we took some of those sticker picture and trading card things.  they didnt really come out nice.  at about 12 or so, minh do called me and asked if i want to go shoot pool or something.  so i met him and ken at the pool hall.  i didnt really get to play much tho.  the scariest thing happened rite after that.  ken and minh do decided to race eachother on the streets.  by the time we noticed the cop on the other side of the street...it was too late.  the cop busted a u and pulled both of them over.  the worse part was that minh do forgot his license at home.  oh geez.  lucky the cop was cool about things and just gave them lectures about killing innocent people.  i hope they learned thier lesson.  after that we just chilled at thier friend, sam's house for a long time.  then it was time to head home and go to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yesterday i had lunch with bryan.  he was my first boyfriend.  we were together for about a year.  yesterday was the first time i saw him in about like three years.  it was a nice lunch.  nice seeing him.  he didnt really change much.  that nite i went to some "kick back" with minh do at this one guy named bond's house.  it was kinda boring, so we left.  we went this other person's house for awhile and then back to bond's house.  it was still pretty boring.  i was talking to this one girl and i found out something about a certain someone.  i didnt really like what i heard.  kinda dissapointed in that person.  i drove minh home at around 11 pm because he had to sneak out of the house again.  he made me go inside the house and wait with him.  thats was so scary sneaking out with him.  never doing that again.  but yea...we went back to bond's house again!!  that guy bond had a bunch a roosters in the backyard.  minh do said it was for illegal cock fights.  that was wierd.  philbert also called and i talked to him for a little.  cant wait to see him and everyone else when we go back to school.  me, minh do, and ken went to shoot pool again.  after that we went back to bond's house&lt;b&gt; again &lt;/b&gt;!!  my goodness!!  by that time it was over because there was some drama between these girls.  after that we finally went home.  i think we stopped by lee's sandwhiched atleat three times that nite.  minh do bought me flan and coffee from there.  pretty  good stuff.  thanx minh do =)  the drive home was long and tiring.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i just realized it was new year's eve today.  im not sure what im doin yet.  probably nothin special.  minh do and ken are goin raving tonite with thier friends.  hope they have fun and stay safe.  i guess ill go figure out what to do now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4010488-86766120?l=janetketruong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/86766120'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/86766120'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://janetketruong.blogspot.com/2002_12_29_archive.html#86766120' title=''/><author><name>janet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14035049510429691589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010488.post-86672912</id><published>2002-12-29T15:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2002-12-29T15:13:41.096-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>winter break is almost over =(  i dont wanna go to classes.

 u can do it!! =)  well yea, we headed towards irvine, since everyone was meeting there.  but first we made a couple of stops at old navy, target, and sports chalet.  me and wayne needed to get some more stuff for the trip.  we picked up the van that wayne was gonna drive.  poor wayne, he was stuck bein a driver for the trip.  we met at the parking structure with everyone.  guess how many people were goin on the trip?!?  &lt;b&gt;70 people!!!&lt;/b&gt;  guess how many vans and suv's?!? &lt;b&gt; about 11!! &lt;/b&gt; (i think 10 of them were vans).  well as soon as everyone showed up, we packed into our vans.  each person had thier own assigned van.  i was in van number 6.  my driver was ken.  thanx ken for bein a great driver =)  we had 6 people in our van, which was nice, our van was nice and roomy.  in my van was ken, teddy, me, angela, nathan, and david.  angela sat next to me, she's from UCSD.  nathan in the back was from UCLA.  the other four of us are from irvine. my cousins wayne, kuo, and christine were on the trip.  it was like a family gatherin.  im glad they were there.  they looked after me.  thanx guys =) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;12/15/02&lt;/b&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;we finally began our trip to tahoe at about 1 am.  it was such a long drive.  the hard part was keeping the vans together and lined up numerically.  i stayed up for most of the trip, kinda hard to sleep in the van.  we made a couple of bathroom and snack stops here and there.  we didnt actually get to our cabin till about 4pm.  the drive up the mountain was so pretty.  so much snow.  so white and pretty.  me and angela couldnt wait to jump into the snow. everyone didnt get settled in the cabins till about 6 or 7.  it was hard because we  had to pretend that only 15 people were stayin at the cabins.  so only like 3 vans could be seen at once.  imagine a 15 people cabin with 70 people inside.  the cabin was 3 stories and oh my gosh!!  we had 3 bathrooms!!  plus the hot water runs out quick.  we had to tippie-toe just to get around the cabin.  very crowded but fun.  we all had fast food for dinner.  i had KFC.  it was pretty good.  we didnt do much that nite.  although i did have a little to drink.  i actually drank a whole can of beer too.  eww...i hate beer.  i met some pretty cool people.  i played cards most of that nite.  i slept in a room with about 15 girls.  that was pretty crazy.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;12/16/02&lt;/b&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;everyone woke up at about 6 am that morning thinkin that we were goin snowboardin.  but nope =(  we were snowed in.  there was so much snow outside and it was still snowing.  there was a storm. we were stuck inside our cabain the WHOLE day AND nite.   it wasnt too bad though.  we split into group of like 12 and each group got to play outside in the snow for awhile.  my group was last.  it was so fun tho!!  we through snowballs and tackled eachother in the snow.  the snow was so nice and soft.  very very cold tho!  i got buried in the snow by like 5 guys.  i got snow stuffed into my shirt and pants.  snow thrown in my face.  it wasnt nice.  i was freezing.  well hehe...it was really fun.  after dryin up and changin i took a long nap.  that nite we had spagetti for dinner.  i thought it was pretty good.  i had to take a cold shower that nite.  it was so so cold!!  it was so hard.  we played games and watched movies for most of the day.  we also played this one name game, where each person chooses a word that starts with the first letter of thier name and then went around naming each person.  like 99 percent of the names were sexual.  mine was JUICY JANET.  some names were really nasty. the game was fun but lasted forever.  at about 12 that nite, we decided to drink.  my oh my!!  things got pretty crazy that nite.  i dont really want to explain.  if u ask me in person i mite tell u and i mite not.  lets just say that i would never let my mom see the pictures.  maybe not just my mom.  i went to sleep at about 4.  thanx jason for makin sure i made it to my bed ok =)  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;12/17/02 &lt;/b&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;the next mornin everyone got up and got ready to go out.  at first they annouced that we were snowed in again.  but we got lucky and actually got out of the house.  i was in john's car that day.  we packed 9 people into a 4-runner.  we musta got lost like ten times that day.  everyone got their rentals, but by the time that was done, it was too late to go snowboardin.  it was chaos after that.  my car did head up to the slope tho.  we didnt really go snowboardin.  me and my new buddy jason played in the snow and took pictures with our cheap cameras we bought at the rental place.  our group climbed up one hill and tried sledding down with our snowboards.  that didnt really work.  although i did get to try snowboardin for like 2 minutes thanx to jason.  after that we headed back to our cabin.  i think we were the only car that didnt follow directions because we were the only ones back at the cabin when everyone else met up at the rental place.  oh wellz....atleast i got a hot shower.  ahh...that was so nice.  we had dinner at a casino that nite.  it was a buffet.  the chicken wings and mashed potatoes were mmm mmm good.  we played arcade games for awhile.  it was pretty fun. then we headed back to the cabins.  i felt kinda guilty yet good because everyone were stressin over the shower situation, while some of us sat there warm and clean.  that nite we just chilled.  no drinkin that nite.  i called minh do to tell him about my experience the nite before.  he laughed at me and even wrote some stuff in his blog that i didnt want him to.  too bad he wasnt at the trip too.  it woulda been really fun.  some guys decided to run out into the snow in their boxers.  crazy guys.  hehe i had fun talkin on the stairs till about 4 am with jason, jack, justin, angela, jenny, hank, and whoever else was there.  i showed them my imitation of THE RING GIRL.  haha...they were so scared.  i threatened jack and jason that i would come scare them in the middle of the nite.  jason actually believed me and woke up a couple times in the middle of the nite.  hehe sorry jason.  we all had a nice talk.  lots of laughin.  jack got me confused with all the riddles though.  im kinda slow.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;12/18/02&lt;/b&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;we woke up brite and early again.  at about 6 am.  i only had like and hour or two of sleep.  i wasnt too tired tho.  i was more excited about snowboardin.  we finally got to snowboard.  we were so happy.  boy was it hard snowboardin.  thank you to everyone that tried to teach me.  thanx teak, albie, wayne.  wayne had to wait for me and watch me fall for the longest time. sorry wayne, but thanx.  jason also had to do the same thing, when we went up the blue diamond slopes.  it took me forever to get to the bottom.  thanx jason for waiting for me and stuff =) i ate it like a hundred times.  i even rolled a couple times.  i remeber this one fall where i got the wind knocked out of me.  my legs were so sore.  the hardest part was getting off the lifts. i never made it without falling.  i felt so good to be back in the warm cabin afterwards.  we had curry and rice for dinner.  it was pretty good.  we played pool and cards for awhile.  we drank again that nite.  this time it wasnt as crazy.  but it was fun.  im glad i didnt get too messed up this whole trip.  my tolerance had gone up thanx to minh do.  i dont think i even got drunk.  i took a shower at like 2 am while i was buzzed.  that was an interesting experience.  atleast i got hot water.  after my shower i went back down to chill again.  i was sore so jason gave me a masage for like and hour or somethin.  i think he was too drunk to feel that his hands were tired.  but thanx for mesage =)  it was nice.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;12/19/02&lt;/b&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;we woke up early AGAIN.  we were heading off to san fransisco.  the drive there was pretty crazy.  there was some strong winds and lots of rain.  but we were safe thanx to ken's super driving skills.  it was such a long drive.  it was fun talking to david and nathan on the way there tho.  nathan is a freak!! haha...he's one interesting guy.  we didnt get to san fransisco till about 5 pm or somethin.  we had chinese food for dinner.  the food was really good.  after dinner we drove to some shopping place.  i forgot what it was called.  there was a 6 story mall.  that thing was huge.  we didnt stay there long tho.  we walked to the METRIOME, which is some cool place with a theater, shops, and a really high-tech arcade.  pam wanted to play virtual hockey, but we didnt have time.  we played games for awhile and then we had to meet everyone at 11 at macy's.  it was so cold and rainy.  thank goodness i had my jacket.  we packed into our cars and began our trip home to irvine.  the ride home was funny.  alot of the drivers took caffiene pills to stay awake.  they were bouncing off the walls.  each van had walkie-talkies, so the conversation between the drivers was really funny.  i slept for most of the trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;12/20/02&lt;/b&gt; :&lt;br /&gt;we finally made it back to irvine at about 10 am.  everyone said bye and stuff.  jason and justin asked if i wanted to eat lunch with them so i said ok.  but first i dropped justin off at his apartment.  jason came with me to drop wayne off.  we chilled at jason's apartment while justin got read for his trip to vegas that nite.  we had korean food with three other people. it was pretty good.  after the meal, i think all the tiredness of the trip hit me. so i took a nap in jason's couch while he went to work for a meeting.  we were suppose to go watch a movie or somethin, but both of us over slept.  when i woke up it was already 1 am.  so i spent the nite on his couch.  than jason for the most comfortable couch ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now i am still at jason's apartment.  he went to work this mornin, but he should be back any minute now.  im gonna say bye and thanx to him and head on home.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this has been one crazy week.  im so glad i went on the trip.  i had lots of fun and met so many people.  i didnt even mind all the laggin and problems we had on the trip.  thanx kuo for inviting me.  it was quite expensive, but worth it.  i cant wait to develop the pictures.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i've missed everyone, especially minh do.  cant wait to see him soon.  i think ill call him in a couple of minutes.  cant wait till everyone is back.  im actually looking forward to school starting.  even though it starts on my birthday =(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4010488-86373605?l=janetketruong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/86373605'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/86373605'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://janetketruong.blogspot.com/2002_12_15_archive.html#86373605' title=''/><author><name>janet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14035049510429691589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010488.post-85970235</id><published>2002-12-13T16:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2002-12-21T11:58:43.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>perfect thing to say rite now -----&gt; &lt;b&gt;"OH GEEZ!!!"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my finals are finally over.  i took my chem and math final today.  i think i did ok, i better have, i studied all nite last nite.  i have never done so much crammin in my life.  i only got like an hour of rest this mornin.  i almost didnt wake up for my chem final.  if it werent for minh do wakin me up at 10:15, i would have never made it there at 10:30.  thanx again minh do, ur a life saver =)  atleast i wasnt the only one studyin all nite, minh do was there crammin all nite too.  we must have had so much caffeine in us.  i had some starbucks and he had some of my mr.brown coffee and plus we ate like almost all of my candy ( i had a lot!!) and some soda too.  i was so jealous of everyone else, they all were done.  they even celebrated last nite while me and minh do were in the study room crammin away.  well i &lt;i&gt;was&lt;/i&gt; happy that they were havin fun, until everyone got super drunk and some of them even threw up.  eww....i heard some of them because the bathroom was rite next door.   haha..."SKUNK BREATH" WILL!!!

 oh yea!! and ann gave me a UCI t-shirt today.  it was nice...thanx ann =)  i gave ben tsai a "crew" shirt from abercrombie...since he likes to go rowing at the ARC so much.  i also decided to give minh do his present.  i just couldnt wait.  plus the gifts were taking up a little too much space in my room.  it took awhile to get minh do to open his present, i have no idea why.  he was being stubborn or somethin.  well the first part of the gift was a "turbo kit" or faster motor thing for his little $50 toy car that willbert and connie got him.  some expensive toy!!  but yea...with the new motor, the car is like twice as fast.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; * minh do is playin with the car rite now!!  he said he was goin to take a shower.  what a little kid.  hehe =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but yea...back to what i was sayin.  other than the car, i got him some skater shoes.  he really liked those too.  he wanted them awhile ago.  he couldnt stop smiling like me when i got the skooter.  he went around, even upstairs to show everyone his new shoes.  so glad he was happy.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i also had my bio final today =(    that was horrible!!!  maybe cause i didnt study enough.  i hope i atleast passed.  i promised myself that next quarter i will study atleast two hours a day, monday thru thursday and sleep atleast by 2.  i think its possible.  i can do it!!  my shedule really sucks next quarter tho.  "sigh"  two more finals to go.  math and chem.  i really need to pass chem.  math...eh...i can do that.   i think im gonna study for math as soon as im done with this and study chem all day tomorrow.  wish me luck!!  oh yea...i got another parking ticket today.  i parked rite next to lawrence too!!  grrr...he never gets a ticket.  maybe cause he drives a van or somethin.  stupid UCI parking.  thats so not fair.  mesa court people have so much parking, while we over at middle earth gotta fight for parking, close parking atleast.  i get lucky once in a long long while.  i went to go move my car just about an hour or so ago.  minh do came with me and we brought our scooters along for the super long walk back.  we went to albertsons cause i was so hungry, but no!!...they were closed.  im still hungry!!  minh do stopped by the gas station and cleaned my windows for me.  he's so nice....or maybe he just felt sorry for me.  but yea...thats about it so far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*i'll talk about the new names i mentioned&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;connie&lt;/b&gt;:  first name-connie, last name-tsai&lt;br /&gt;she is another south pas person.  one of the twenty or so people that came to irvine from south pas.  i didnt talk to her much in highschool, although there would be a few "hello's, hi's, and how's it goin" here and there.  she lives in grayhavens too, but upstairs.  she eats alot like me, but she's still skinny.  connie is good at tennis, piano, singin, and she also plays the guitar.  probably more stuff also. so talented!!  she's in some sorority, im not sure which one.  she's always busy at meetings and events and stuff.  poor connie.  glad she's here at irvine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* i need to sleep now actually.  so ill just continue this next time.  oh yea...i guess im not studyin tonite. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4010488-85888025?l=janetketruong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/85888025'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/85888025'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://janetketruong.blogspot.com/2002_12_08_archive.html#85888025' title=''/><author><name>janet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14035049510429691589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010488.post-85779577</id><published>2002-12-10T04:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2002-12-10T05:09:52.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>i am officially starting my first blog entry.  the first one didnt really count.  hmm....what to say...what to say...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ill start off with a quick recap of today (monday).  nothin much happpened earlier today.  i had to get somethin from home, so i drove all the way home in traffic and all the way back to irvine.  after i got back to irvine, minh do called me at about 10 pm and told me to go over to grayhavens, which is what i always do anyways.  and so i went over and thats what made my day.  minh do decided to give me my christmas present or presents actually.  there was so much stuff, i thought it was from other people too.  well part of it was from phil too, thanx philbert!!  but still...there was alot of stuff.  i got lotion(s) in a pretty bag, a cool pink shirt, a pair of really funny yet cute slippers, and oh my gosh!!.....a razor scooter =)  i was so happy that i couldnt stop smiling for the longest time.  lawbunz kept sayin that i looked wierd cause i couldnt close my mouth or somethin.  well yea.....THANX MINH DO!!!  well later on, me, phil, and minh do went scootering outside.  i got to test out my brand new scooter.  that thing is really smooth and fast.  i love it!!   all of that really cheered me up.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*im gonna describe the people i mentioned so everyone knows who im talking about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;minh do&lt;/b&gt;:  first name-minh, last name-do&lt;br /&gt;let's see...where to begin...so much to say about him. well i met him for the first time eating dinner at pippins (the cafeteria).  i decided to sit at the table because i knew lawbunz.  i guess we just hung out more and more each day and i began to migrate over to grayhavens, where my second home is now.  he's vietnamese, born in france.  always bustin out his viet at me.  minh do is such a cool guy.  he's so funny!!! i think its halarious just watching and listenin to him.  he just so SPECIAL.  he has a one-of-a-kind personality.  he has gigantic eyes...hehe...i think its scary when he tries to make them bigger.  hanging out with minh do is the highlite of my day.  so many bruises and marks. so much slapping, punching, hitting, and biting.  hehe he's so abusive!!  &lt;i&gt;mostly &lt;/i&gt;from playin games tho.  he's nice to me, but he ALWAYS makes fun of me.  but so does everyone else, so i guess its ok =I what we have in common: sleeping, eating, and laziness and i mean all of that to the extreme.  i gotta admit...life would suck without minh do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;philbert&lt;/b&gt;:  first name-phil, last name-chung&lt;br /&gt;phil is minh do's roomate.  he's super cool too.  he's the korean guy with the super nice hair....its so straight and smooth and nicely colored (thanx to minh do).   phil is the master of cards.  he knows so many tricks and he's so good at frustration.  i cant beat him, YET.   phil has all the movies, anime, music, music videos, and stuff like that.  he's the entertainment man. he's really good at shooting pool and ping pong, he always plays.  he's one RELAZING person.  phil is mr. chill with the cool sun glasses.  so glad to have met phil.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;lawbunz&lt;/b&gt;:  first name-lawrence, last name: liao ( i think thats how u spell it)&lt;br /&gt;NOODLE HEAD!!!....haha.  &lt;br /&gt;"his hair....like noodle" -minh do's mom&lt;br /&gt;bunz is from south pas too.  we went to the same middle school and highscool, but i never ever talked to him until i came to irvine.  so weird.  he too lives at grayhavens.  he's ART MAJOR. we always tease him about that cause its fun.  he's the only asian person i kno with natural super curly hair.  but now that he dyed his hair black, it doesnt really look like noodles anymore.  hehe but im still gonna call him noodle head.  he's the master at DDR.  playin next to him was so embarassin.  i had the easiest level and he had the hardest and i was the only one strugglin.  lawbunz eats a lot!! and quick too!!  he likes to use the excuse that he's a pig (born in the year of a pig), but so were most of us!!  but anywayz...he's nice too.  he drives all of us in his mini-van.  im still mad that he hasnt gotten a ticket yet.  but oh well...ill still keep my fingers crossed...hehe.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh geez!!...its 5 AM!!.....i should sleep now&lt;br /&gt;phil was rite about blog taking up a lot of time&lt;br /&gt;               &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4010488-85779577?l=janetketruong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/85779577'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/85779577'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://janetketruong.blogspot.com/2002_12_08_archive.html#85779577' title=''/><author><name>janet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14035049510429691589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010488.post-85749704</id><published>2002-12-09T14:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2002-12-09T14:56:00.396-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>This is my first entry, so i don't know what im doin exactly.  guess ill figure it out as i go along.  or ill just ask phil (the blog master)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4010488-85749704?l=janetketruong.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/85749704'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4010488/posts/default/85749704'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://janetketruong.blogspot.com/2002_12_08_archive.html#85749704' title=''/><author><name>janet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14035049510429691589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
