Mendie's Journal

Can it be? I'm actually writing in this again?

2007-09-30T08:21:05Z

ho ho it's been a year since I wrote! :< I haven't been writing in any of my journals lately though. Well I'll try to sum up the year 2007 in as few words as possible... boring school year, drifted away from friends and parties, lived in condo with new roommates, said roommates ended up hating me, screamfest with one roommate, ups and downs with boyfriend, mood swings and minor depression-- I blame bc ring, surprised that after everything- boyfriend put up with me, skipped school and played video games, fake id taken aways then randomly mailed, some happy times, opening of shabu shabu, stress and work, more problems :P but thankfully found solutions, first trip with boyfriend, cruise to jamaica, bahamas, and grand turk, tanned nicely and now stable happiness.

Yay but I do hope that this new year will be a good one. Already attended some parties, turning 21 this year! Only skipped three classes on the first day hahah. I'm now starting a new job at some fine dining mexican restaurant (it's really really yummy). So yes. I will try to attend all my classes and I am taking japanese so that's exciting.

But anyways, some random musings...

I hate how I'm lactose intolerant... I just love cheese!! And I can't help myself, like on friday when I just had to eat gnocchi stuffed with cheese because I wanted to, then ended up bloated and gassy up until now!
And I hate how I love japanese chewy candy! Because eating those chewy fruity goodness makes me constipated as f*ck!

So here I am having eaten four hi-chews and gnocchi drenched in parmesian on friday, and now I feel like a blimp and a little like someone shoved something up my ass. But gosh, don't you just love it when you eat and then have to duece right after?? and it goes down soo smoothly... damn that's heaven! And it seems I can only achieve that when I take god damn detox pills! Why do I have to have such a sluggish digestive system! curse my small and big intestines!

Anyways I have to open the shop up tomorrow, so I guess Imma sleeping. Kinda feels good writing in LJ again haha

well it's one of those internet moments where you're really suppose to be studying, but you get caught up in the internet distractions... haha yah i think i have those everytime i go on the computer. but hey it's become everyone's daily ritual to check their facebook/myspace at least 3 times a day. well I was just curious and decided to read everything I wrote on this livejournal. from 2 years ago to now haha times really do change... But I must say... I am at a very happy time in my life. actually I am confident to say happiest. psh could it be because of this weirdo next to me?
hahah i don't think so... well... maybe... just a little... okay maybe a lot...haha
even though midterms are next week and I should be stressing... I just don't see the need to. Actually I'm trying to make it a point not to stress as much as possible. "Just get over it" haha the motto that is so often uttered by peeps here. yah that's right I'll get over it! hahah get over what? iono whatever it is that i would need to get over. Anyways... well it's that hell week before i get my rag... and that means my id has taken supreme control over me. All my desires have become released ... and by desires i mean my desires for FOOD! during these weeks i seriously have no control... only when someone tells me not to do something will i not do it. But if i have the slightest encouragement to eat the cookie... O will i eat the cookie! Please super id come back to me!!! Inhibit these cravings for useless junk food.... junk food... yummm

Even though I don't believe in much, I would like to believe in long distance relationships...
I'm tired of flings... I finally found that person... the person who would make my heart beat a million times a second...
but he's gone, gone to the middle of nowhere
I really would like to believe in long distance relationships...
It scares me of what might happen during this time away
We only really seen each other for not even 2 weeks... what if he meets someone in college, someone he can see everyday
yah, two weeks doesn't seem like a long time, but that's all it took for me to know there was a connection...
i'll try to be happy and positive. I am very much satisfied with the phone calls and texts... i know i can do this, but can he?
i don't know... i guess we'll just see

week of awesome

2005-08-18T05:12:44Z

So, this week my "special" friend from the cruise, Bijan came from Washington with his friend Correy. He stayed at USC because his brother is an RA there, so they had the whole dorm floor to themselves hahah but they locked themselves out one too many times. Anyways, they came thursday, so I went to USC and we ate some scrumptious Persian food. OMG i am totally in love with kabobs and persian rice. After dinner we went to see a meteor shower in pasadena. It was utterly gorgeous! there were a myriad of beautiful stars, and me and bijan played a game to see which side of the sky had more meteors.
Me and Bijan on our way home.

Friday, I took Bijan, Correy, and Nychel to Glocks

They all loved the awesome food, and i got them ensaymadas and cheese rolls. After that we cruised around sunset blvd. Went to Hustlers and got some fun stuff there hahah After that, we went to the rich neighborhoods and oogled at the lovely houses. Went to this one house, with a huge garden that people can visit.

Saturday went to San Diego and surfed and met Bijan's rich relatives. Wow the house we went to was awesome! It was three stories, with an elevator. To my delight, ate more Persian food for dinner. Yah his relatives were really cool and nice. Monday hung out at USC, watched garden state in the dorms. Then walked to Fat Burger, which had pretty good food. Then went to watch USC's football team practice. The boys were really excited haha but i have to admit, it was pretty exciting.

explored the campus

At night went to the Laugh factory to watch Latin Night. hahah it was so funny! hahah correy looks pretty spaced out...

me with Jokoy (really hilarious, though... he wasn't latin)

Then went back to the dorms to say our goodbyes...

yeup that was a fun week... i'm going to miss them... awww especially bijan... i guess i have to wait till the next break!

contemplating...

2005-08-08T17:20:32Z

Life is ironic. I think we are the sims to God. God just picks on us, and just decides whether our lives will turn out good or bad. And seriously, if there is a god out there, he has a pretty good sense of humor. What brought about these thoughts was a certain instance on my summer cruise. It was late at night, me and a couple of my cruise friends were playing a fun game of poker. Well I was chip leader(as usual) and my friend mark was sadly loosing. He seemed to always get a 2 and 7 hand. So he declared - If i get a 2 or 7 on the next hand, then I know God hates me! So to make sure he would never get a 2 and 7 again, he shuffled the deck hardcore. He arranged 4 piles, and randomly put cards in each pile. Then he shuffled again and again, maybe 3 times. So we dealed the cards, and what did he get on his next hand?? A 2 and a 6... everyone was silent for a second, then we burst out laughing. The look on his face was utterly hilarious. He was like OMG! GOD HATES ME!!! FUCK THIS!! so out of pity, we gave him a new hand, which was not a 2, 6, or 7. So we saw the flop and a 3,4, and 5 came out, all the same suit of clubs. I never laughed so hard in my life! All of us were crying from laughter, it seriously was one of those moments. Then one of the guys brad was like, wait a minute... wasn't your 2 and 6 the same suit? So we fished in the burn pile for his cards, and woe and behold, they were both clubs. Again, I haven't laughed so hard in my life. Mark was on the corner of the room just cursing about his luck. And he actually wrote this in his journal he brought with him. haha but this memory just came back to me today, and it really was funny, and it really was strange. I mean, he shuffled those cards like there were no tomorrow, and what do we get? a straight flush! It was all too perfect. I know God was up there was having a kick. But seriously, that is just one of the many instances of how life is ironic. But I think that if life wasn't ironic, everything would be boring, plus, we wouldn't have any great stories to tell. haha I just hope this week will be free of any irony!

so happy!

2005-08-08T07:36:03Z

i'm so ecstatic for August and September! yay especially for next week!!! but yes, finally, college is just around the corner! Gotta schedule all my classes, and go dorm shopping! As for next week, I gotta get ready! I need to get my eyebrows threaded and get a manicure/pedicure. I've been jogging again, but at night, and i've been taking yoga classes. Yay for fitness again! this past week i've been indulging too much and being too gluttinous. I need to detoxify my body and get in shape again! Well my mood has certainly been better these days. I've been helping out around the new Goldilocks in Eagle Rock, and guess what, i'm doing it for free! wow ! haha but yes this week i'm also getting my tablet pc! i'm totally psyched about it and i'm sure i'll be on it 24/7. damn, this week is gonna be great!

i have to stop. no, i NEED to stop. whenever i start opening up, I come off as eager. I want to be mysterious, and keep guys guessing. that way, they'll never lose interest in me.

2005-08-02T06:05:53Z

jeez my mom is so weird. she's so mean to everyone and always thinks she's right. that's why she has no friends. yesterday my dad said something like "why do you look so sad all the time" to her and she just blew up and went crying downstairs. jeez my dad woke me up and told me to sleep with her in case she does anything crazy. so yes i went downstairs to the guest room and she was crying and so i told her that i'm sleeping with her. and i tried to comfort her, but she just gave me the cold shoulder so i was like jeez fine, be like that. and my goodness how she can cry! the bed was shaking and she kept weeping and sniffling and ugh it was the worse noise in the world! i had to plug my ears to drown that horrible noise out. my goodness i just wanted to sleep! but yah it was so weird how i couldn't say anything to her, and that me not saying anything prolly made her feel worse. but it's not my fault i was raised without knowing my mom so i am justified in my coldness towards her. i seriously think my mom should see the shrink! i do not want to go through that experience again

HOT HOT HEAT!

2005-08-01T06:14:38Z

yay i watched hot hot heat in ventura yesterday! it was so awesome!

well it took 1 hour and 45 minutes to get to ventura, but it was so worth it! here's me waiting in line for one and half hours
the opening band, world leader pretender was fun i liked them. the next band eisley were pretty cool. the lead singers were girls and they sang nice, but they made me want to sleep because i just wanted to dance and their music didn't really allow that. then yay it was hot hot heat!

omg i loved it! i danced my heart out hahah and made people annoyed at me, especially these two girls in back of me. psh one of the girl's boyfriend tried to push me, but i danced more wildly and this other guy next to me pushed me toward the boyfriend. ewww the boyfriend was all fat and big and smelled like weed. yuck it was so gross he was all sweating and stuff. but i didn't really care because i got to see hot hot heat and that was all that mattered.

nina and nancy

2005-07-21T20:25:48Z

wow the summer is getting a little more interesting. well every morning me and the "hotties 4 fitness" go jogging and do ab workouts and such. very fun and gets me in shape too. well yesterday was a weird day... i spent half of it at the cerritos library studying for my precal placement exam, and when i was leaving to go to my car, some weird old fobby man approached me asking me for my number, and saying that he's been "watching" me for some time. i was definitely creeped out so i was like sorry i gotta go, but he kept persisting for my number and name. well i had no idea what to say, so the first name that popped up was nina. so i was like my name i nina. okay. bye. but he kept following me to my car. so i just went inside and slammed the door and drove off like a mad man hahah then i went to borders to look for more pre cal books, but all i ended up doing was read magazines. anyways i was just reading, minding my own business, when some guy comes and asks for a pen. and so i conveniently had one so i gave it to him, thinking nothing of it. weeelll he comes back after like 10 mins. and is like here's your pen back, and he leaves a book on the table telling me there's something inside. so i'm like what the heck? am i in grade school still, and i open the book and, oh wow! there's a napkin note inside! well the note said something like how he noticed how beautiful i was and that he wanted us to be "friends". it was so ridiculous i was laughing and i looked to see how this guy looked like, cuz you know he might be cute... well it turns out this guy is another weird fobby, but younger looking boy, and ugh it was so gross. so i replied back saying i'm already seeing someone or something of that sort and i sign it nancy. now i have no idea where i'm getting these names but the N's seemed pretty popular that day i guess. anyways i go to the groceries after, and i'm just happily picking out some ice creams, when yet another, yes another, weird creepy guy comes up to me and says hi. he's some worker so i'm like uh hi and go along my shopping. well he passes by me, but after a while he comes up to me again and i'm like ugh! i've had enough with these guys! so i just hurry to the counter and buy my yummy ice cream bars. so yah, i have no idea what made me so approachable to these stalker type people. was it the white plain t-shirt i was wearing? or was it the sweats i was sporting on, or maybe the i-don't-give-a-shit hair-do i had on. well all i know is that the trailer trash look attracts weird stalker men to you like a bee on honey. my goodness, i don't think i'll ever look that crappy in public again!

so proud of myself

2005-07-13T07:16:22Z

i got a freaking 5 on my ap psychology test!!! woo hoo!! greatest accomplishment ever for me!

FULL aaah! but it's okay... i'll just meet with my academic advisor seperately and it's not like i'm not going to be in college for the next 4 years, so i won't stress about it.

fashion show

2005-06-10T03:38:45Z

well yesterday was... long, but at the same time, short. Well at 2:30pm me and my cousin arrived at la city hall. well some of the makeup artists and hairdressers were there, and since we were the first ones, we got our hair done first. well my aunt wanted it to be funky so here's how my hair turned out...

after that we got fitted, and i was suppose to wear this...

but there was no time! so after the fitting i went to get my makeup done...

eh i think they went for the overkill look iono... anyways so the show began and even though i messed up twice, i still think it was a good experience. yeup that day was filled with boredom, bitcheyness from designers, being half naked and everyone seeing, and confusion and i ended it with lady and the tramp when i slept over my cousin's house in irvine.

mendie @ 2005-06-07T21:20:00

2005-06-08T04:37:30Z

high school is over! yes! real life soon begins! well summer has begun and that means summer jobs.... sigh days of carelessness are gone... my father made me responsible for setting up a recycling program in g-locks and that = hard work. Makes me kinda wish i didn't suggest it, BUT an environmentalist and defender of the earth has to do what she has to do.
Summer is going to be awesome! Next week i'll be going to EUROPE! yeup a week in london and a week in a cruise to the british isles. hahah living in the lap of luxury for two weeks... awesome possum! But all good things must come to an end... after that, it's back to work. Oh yes tomorrow i'll be in some fasion show at the l.a. city hall. It's for this asian heritage month event and all these tv broadcasting networks are gonna be there. Turn on your tv at 9 and hopefully you'll get a glimpse of me! eh but i'm kinda nervous about walking in my 5 inch debut heels urrg hope i don't fall!
but yes i'm so happy this summer, i've been eating healthier and now i think i'm the skinniest i've ever been. I need to go to the beach and show off my hot bod!
hahah o yah and today i got a brazillian wax hhaha it was painful (especially when she took out the tweezers) but it still doesn't hurt as much as a facial! So everyone should go out and get one!
