I'm Blessed and Thankful

2008-11-28T20:35:00.001-08:00

Ok so maybe our thanksgiving feast didn't look like that but I'm thankful for the time spent with my brother and sister. My parents too....lol even though my mom is a little too much for me sometime I'm still blessed to have her as my mother.

2008-11-28T13:02:00.000-08:00

So my last few blogs have been about the decline of gas prices which has put a smile on my face! But, something else that is putting a smile on my face is that the other day I got a letter saying I overpaid on something and they sent a check but shows that it was never cashed. I thought hmmm.....must have gotten lost in the mess! So they said to sign it and send it back and they will send me a check for $195! Awesome! Can't wait! LOL it will be like Christmas in the form of the USPS! Granted, its my money but, its nice I'm getting it back!

Wow!

2008-11-28T10:48:00.000-08:00

He just lowered it again! Super!

Omg

2008-11-27T02:04:00.000-08:00

Super

I love it!

2008-11-26T15:31:00.000-08:00

Even though I don't use arco! Can you see that?! Amazingness! On a day like this, this is the only thing that has put a smile on my face!

Growing up...

2008-10-08T22:34:00.000-07:00

Is hard to do!! Seriously, I know people MY age who have families and careers and seem to have it all figured out. I feel like I am still in college and trying to figure out the rest of my life! It's ok though because I know God is on MY side and has a plan for me. It was a sad day when my sister graduated from HS. It was even sadder when I helped her move out and drove her to her new dorm room. I cried. I was the first one out but, I also was the first one back home! LOL My brother just told me that he is moving out within the next month. I want to cry. Granted, he'll be 26 next month but, he's never left. Where is he going? Why? Who is going to be there? I want to know!!! I'm not that close with my brother but, I still worry and look out for them. Or them for me, in most cases!!

ahh...how fast they grow up! My sister is now in her 3rd year of college or 4th. I forget. My brother is younger and makes wayyyy more money than I do. HE practically makes in 1 month what I make in 2. And that's why I'm not the "golden child."

City Hall

2008-10-05T14:48:00.000-07:00

My city hall does not look like that! This is Pasadena's city hall! Beautiful! You should see the inside!

Messy

2008-10-05T14:45:00.000-07:00

This is what happens when I do laundry. It ends up on the floor in my room until I have to do laundry again! Haha Sad...

'Friend....'

2008-09-27T01:32:00.001-07:00

Hi, this is my sister and her "friend" and its just going to stay that way! Thanks. I'm pretty sure you don't want me to chop off anything because I would... LOL Let's go team! UCLA!

Pretty

2008-08-23T06:56:00.000-07:00

No I'm not talking about me... LOL but, when I walk up my driveway, this is what I see. Pretty isn't it??

I'm a Winner

2008-08-19T22:52:00.000-07:00

That's right... I was just in Ralph's and spent $12 on healthy snacks and I bought a ticket and I won $12!!! Super excited... Be jealous

Yummy

2008-08-13T08:17:00.000-07:00

So my mom made me breakfast this morning or maybe it was for my sister lol but, I took it! She must have woken up on the right side of the bed this morning.

Grr

2008-08-12T21:49:00.000-07:00

I'm confused

I love the olympics!!!

2nd Chances

2008-08-11T20:22:00.000-07:00

I read a blog today that got me thinking about times I have given and received a second chance. There has been sooo many times and I am thankful for all of them. I haven't always been the greatest person who always made great choices but I have the support of great friends who put me in my spot. They didn't walk away when everyone else did. Everyone makes mistakes and deserves a second chance. I'm just saying...

Just testing it out...

2008-08-11T13:07:00.000-07:00

Just added blogging via blackburry and I want to see if it works like I want it to. LOL

Sonicare = Amazing

2008-08-07T08:37:00.000-07:00

So my brother has been asking me to go half with him. Sounds weird right? Since it's a toothbrush. Well it comes in twos. One night, I was looking through coupons and saw that Costco was going to have it on sale in about a month or so. So I show my brother, he cut the coupon, and waited. The day came and he asked me mom to take him to Costco. They come back with the Sonicare. We charged it and I finally used it last night. It's AMAZING. MY teeth feels like I just came from the dentist. I have so many other things to blog about but, I HAD to write about this today!

This sucks!

2008-07-30T14:41:00.000-07:00

Seriously??? Myspace AND Facebook has been blocked at my job. It’s a good thing I can still BLOG! But, it’s just lame. I know there are people here who are on it ALL day. I’m not one of them, I randomly go on throughout the day to take a break from everything! Grr… OH and no youtube either! AHH! I think that as long as I am finishing my work and doing what I am supposed to be doing, it shouldn't matter!

Exciting!

2008-07-28T23:15:00.000-07:00

So, last year in June, I got laid off. NICE! Unemployment right? AND I moved home! PERFECT! I can finally save! WRONG! #1 I don't know how to save. I'll find a way to spend my last 75 cents! Really... #2 My unemployment ended in November. So prior to that, I started a job search. A job search has never really been that difficult for me. I mean, I know me, I know what I can do, what I can offer...Well, the search lasted WAYYY longer than expected. My credit that I had been working SO hard to fix was now going down. I couldn't really go out with my friends or do anything. It just a bad time in my life. Looking back, I didn't want to do anything, talk to anyone, or anything. There were a few people I talked to, hung out with, and REALLY expressed how I felt. It was a dark time. I felt like a failure. I went to SO many interviews. I revised my resume SO many times. There were weeks where I had an interview EVERYDAY! Deep down inside, I hoped and knew that something will come up and everything would be fine but, I couldn't help feeling scared, stressed, angry, confused, exhausted, etc...

Anyways, in the beginning of April, my friend was about to get married and we were all going to go to Vegas for her bachelorette party. The week before, I was running around getting last minute stuff (I was in the wedding party) and still going to interviews. Well, this place called me and asked me if I could come in on that Thursday. I told them that I would be out of town but could come in sooner. They asked me to come in that day at 3. I agreed and went to the interview. The point is, I was offered the position for more than I was asking. Exciting thing #1. Exciting thing #2 is that they give bonuses at the end of every quarter. SOOO, I'm going to be getting a nice little check on this next payday!!

God is awesome. Not because I'm getting this bonus but, He really taught me in the time while I was looking for a job to believe, have faith, and to just trust in Him. In that time, I'm glad I had a good friend who always reminded me of those things when I felt there was no hope! She always helped me if I ever needed money or anything else. I am not one to ask for help unless I REALLY need it. So, thanks Annalynn!

Another thing that helped me was that I subscribed to the daily word with Joel Osteen. I would read them everyday and relate to it. The one that I related to the most was posted on February 12th....it said:

Today's Scripture

"For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened" (Matthew 7:8).

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

Is there something you are believing God for? Does it seem like it's taking a long time to come to pass? Be encouraged today! The Bible says that through faith and patience you will inherit the promise. You can trust that God's Word is true. Submit your prayers to the Lord, and keep an attitude of faith and expectancy. Keep asking. Keep seeking. Keep knocking on the door, and it will be opened to you. It may seem like it's taking a long time, but know this: God is working behind the scenes on your behalf. He is orchestrating things in your favor. He is perfecting whatever concerns you. Don't give up! Start thanking God for His faithfulness in your life. As you stay faithful in your prayers and thanksgiving, the Lord will move mightily on your behalf. He'll take you places that you've never dreamed, and you will live the life of victory He has in store for you!

A Prayer for Today

Father in heaven, thank You for giving me a diligent spirit. Thank You for Your faithfulness. Give me strength to stand until I see Your promises fulfilled in my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

He's pretty awesome. Subscribe to his Daily Word!

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34

OMG moment #2

2008-07-21T22:02:00.000-07:00

Ok, let me just start off by saying that I am VERY open with my friends. Like, I'll send a text, IM, or email to say that I pooped. I know it sounds silly but, it's just what we do and I laugh everytime I get one of those text messages randomly throughout the day.

So, today at work was like ANY other day. I was working, emailing, and chatting. So I'm chatting with Annalynn via AIM and she says something, I read it, minimize, do some work, open the chat and start typing away! Telling her how I just pooped. I look at the IM window and realize it's NOT her but, this guy I work with!!! OMG!! I was like did I just do that? It was so embarrassing. He was not at his desk at the moment so he didn't see it right away. And when he came back, he couldn't stop laughing. I told him I was joking and that I really didn't poop. He even put a video on my myspace page. LOL

The convo went something like this:
CPhanLSI (12:51 pm): that's cool though. you'll be doing that, teaching, and collecting unemployment
CPhanLSI (12:51 pm): wonty!
CPhanLSI (12:51 pm): i just pooped

CPhanLSI (01:11 pm): AND THEY LAUGHED AND
CPhanLSI (01:11 pm): SAID IT'S EMBARASSING!
CPhanLSI (01:11 pm): AND I IMED THE RIGHT PERSON AND TOLD HER
CPhanLSI (01:12 pm): SHE WAS LAUGHING
jfordstr (01:12 pm): thnks for making my day
jfordstr (01:12 pm): i cant stop laughing
jfordstr (01:12 pm): dont worry.. I went around 10am
CPhanLSI (01:12 pm): BUT I DIDN'T GO!
CPhanLSI (01:12 pm): LOL

Fun-filled weekend!

2008-07-20T23:05:00.000-07:00

So I had a FUN FILLED weekend of doing things for the "first time." It started on Friday...

Friday: I didn't know what I wanted to do and then I thought,"hmm...I have never been to the racetracks and brought it up to my friend and off to Los Alamitos racetracks I went! Got to bet on some races and have a drink. It was good times! It just an easy going type of night but also very exciting!

so that wasn't my horse winning and i didn't walk away a millionaire but it's ok. it was still good times!

Saturday: Well, I slept in. I was supposed to be at Melissa's house at 11. She texted me at 11:15 to ask me where I was because she just got out of the shower. SOO, I finally made it there at noon. we went to lunch in the "ghetto" at some mexican restaurant and it was cheap and good! i didn't take pictures of everything but i should have! we got 2 orders of taquitos, 2 drinks, 2 burritos, and fries with guacamole for less than $15. isn't that awesome?! so we were supposed to be working on baby shower stuff and of course we were easily distracted. we stopped at the MONTEBELLO mall and she shopped and i got an awesome wallet on sale for $10. we then went to michael's (for the baby shower) and i found some awesome things for myself and the shower! so finally we were back on track. lol we ordered food from albertson's. didn't order the cake because the lady at the story gave us some crazy story. so we went to another bakery and they told us that a quarter sheet is $70!!! isn't that crazy?! so off to the OC fair we went to meet lauren. well, with traffic and all that drama, i didn't meet up with lauren and her sister until the got out of the fergie concert. but, i have never been to the fair as an adult. i don't even remember going as a child. everyone told me it was going to cost a lot and it did! lol but, it was fun!! ate some fried food, tasted and drank some wine, had some beers, rode some rides, and looked at some animals!

Sunday:I met Lauren for brunch at el torito! yum. and then we walked off our food at the mall! shop shop shop. then i went home and took at nap and then went and hung out with the creator of "oh, that's cool..." LOL

Back to work I go!

oh that's cool....

2008-07-17T13:10:00.001-07:00

btw, "oh that's cool" is equivalent to "that sucks" but, she's too nice to say that it sucks. ha ha

anyways, so last semester i registered for classes that i didn't attend. usually if you don't attend the 1st day, they DROP you. well, that was NOT the case THIS time. i tried to register for classes this coming semester (i'm going to attend this time) and there is a HOLD! what?? for what?? yea, come to find out, i have to pay $75 before i can even look at grades, register, or anything! so on top of that $75, i'll probably have to pay ANOTHER $75 for classes this coming semester. well, i guess if i compare it to gas prices, it's not that bad.

1 tank of gas = $75
2 classes at FJC = $75

education or drive? i pick drive. lol jk.

last i checked...there isn't one of THESE in my backyard.

JULY!

2008-07-16T18:24:00.000-07:00

I feel like EVERYONE I know has a birthday in July!! Either I need new friends OR they need to celebrate their birthday in June or August. Ok, maybe not. But, really. My mom, sister, and some of my closest friends have July birthdays. I need a part time job just to keep up with all the birthdays!

Birthday fun!

midnight snack...

2008-07-13T18:13:00.000-07:00

or later....LOL what's the best thing to eat after some drinks late at night? ANYTHING greasy. But one of my faves is this....

carne asada fries! nothing is better than some hole in the wall mexican food!

it doesn't look that appetizing here. but, it's good.

Sleep...

2008-07-08T18:34:00.001-07:00

For some reason, I haven't been able to have a good night's sleep. WHY?!? I have issues writing about people. LOL I started writing this whole blog and then I deleted it. It wasn't even anything bad. I guess I don't like confrontation or controversy. I just think sometimes things are better off unsaid via the WORLD WIDE WEB. Not that anyone even reads my blogs but, you NEVER know....LOL

ok nap time...

Jealousy....Part 2

2008-07-03T08:18:00.001-07:00

So I wake up this morning to get ready for work and guess who I notice is still sleeping? MY BROTHER! Apparently, they get today off. Uhh, last I checked TODAY JULY 3rd is NOT A HOLIDAY! Anyways, I got a egg sandwich out of it. When my mom is off, I get breakfast. If my mom has work, I get lunch.

Except my egg isn't scrambled and my bread is toasted. yuuuum...

Birthday Weekend!

2008-07-01T11:12:00.000-07:00

OK...so I KNOW that my birthday isn't until November 9th but, I have the weekend already planned out! On Saturday I will be going to the UCLA vs. Oregon State game.
Tailgating with friends is always a good time!

That's pretty much an ALL day affair. We get there SUPER early and leave kinda late!

On Sunday, I'm going to go see Carrie Underwood at the NEW Citizens Business Bank Arena that is opening this fall in ontario!

YAY! Good times! Can't wait.

Jealousy....

2008-06-27T08:21:00.000-07:00

My mom and brother work at the same company. I'm not jealous of that. Well, kinda....they carpool so that's less gas that he has to pay. BUT, the MAIN reason why I am jealous is because they get every other friday off! And I'm at work typing this blog. The only good thing is that I got some fresh breakfast this morning. Sausage, eggs, and of course RICE. I'm asian...I can't eat eggs without rice (and soy sauce).

Ok, so it doesn't look exactly like THAT. ha ha

Being Healthy...

2008-06-25T21:13:00.000-07:00

Is WAY more expensive than being NOT healthy!!

Burger for $1 or salad for $6? With the rise of gas prices, I MIGHT start growing my OWN lettuce and riding a bike. Ok, so maybe not! But, they should make it cheaper to be healthy!

Things that bother me PART #1...

2008-06-25T19:42:00.000-07:00

- People that don't know how to merge. Really, they are the ones that cause accidents, traffic, and an angry asian. (that would be me)
- What happen to the days when people waved THANK YOU when they changed lanes or you let them over. It's just common courtesy that obviously, people don't have anymore.
- People who spend on their money on dumb things when WE all know they need to spend it on bills, their children, and debt!
- People who are ignorant. I won't even get into this on here.
- When I get paid and the next day, my money is gone.
- GAS PRICES! Seriously, $75 for my SOLARA! Instead of writing this BLOG I should be filing BANKRUPTCY! So maybe that was a little drmaatic.
- Pushy people. If I don't answer the phone once, don't hang up and call me back. I saw that you called and heard your VM, there is NO need to call again. I'm probably at work.
- People who DO NOT put other people's feelings in mind. The world doesn't revolve around you!
- When I'm at home and there isn't ONE thing on TV that is interesting.
- USERS.

LAKERS

2008-06-25T19:29:00.000-07:00

Although, the season came and went and that last game was VERY hard to watch, I am STILL a LAKERS fan. I will NOT be one of those bandwagon jumper and jump off! As for SHAQ and his rap....he's obviously bitter at something. Get over it. He can't rap.

And now, I sit and wait for UCLA football season to start! First game is on LABOR DAY!

Go BRUINS!

Facebook and getting older...

2008-06-25T19:19:00.000-07:00

SOOO, I have had a facebook account since it first started (when only college students could access it) but, I rarely used it. To me, it's kinda confusing. I don't want to be superpoked. Why would someone throw a pregnancy test at me? OR jello? Or be chopped? But anyhow, the point is, I have been on there ALL day today. I have found sooo many other people who aren't on myspace. As I am approaching my 10 year reunion, it's pretty fun to see where people are now and how they look. Everyone looks the same. ha ha So there isn't a point to go right? LOL I'm not married, I don't have children, I'm not a millionaire, I don't own my own anything. When I say anything, I mean it. Not my home, not my car, not even my car insurance! So what have I done in 10 years? Well, 6 of those years were spent at CSUF trying to graduate. That's right, I said tried and I also said it took 6 years. And no, I do not have my Master's nor am I even making an attempt. I got my Bachelor's that I am NOT using. But, hey, it was the best 6 years of my life! I made so many wonderful friends that I will probably have forever. I learned so many lessons. Anyways, I'll probably go to my 10 year reunion which is NEXT year. When I was in HS, I thought that was SO far away and that it's never going to happen. In a few short years, I'll be 30!!! I hear life STARTS at 30! I sure hope so!

O-M-G!!!

2008-06-13T00:16:00.000-07:00

So today was like any other day except it was my manger's birthday. So I left my house a little bit early to pick up some flowers and candy. For lunch, we decided we were all going to go out to lunch. We decide on Hero's in Downtown Fullerton. Lunch was great. It was fun. Then this is where the OMG comes in....one of the other managers drove so I'm getting back in his car and I kinda hear/feel a rip in my pants. I check and sure enough, there was a hole! OMG moment right? I'm sitting there in a panic, "like what am i going to do?" "Who should I call?" Finally I decide that we only have 2 hours left AND my shirt was long enough to kinda cover it. OMG! I was SO thankful when 430 hit and I was out of there!

p.s. it wasn't just a little hole...it was HUGE!!

This is getting expensive!!

2008-06-11T19:59:00.000-07:00

STILL nothing exciting has been going on! Just in EVERYONE else's life! In any case, I guess I will live vicariously through them! With graduations, weddings, and baby showers all in my near future, it is also putting a little damper in my pocketbook. Just yesterday, I went shopping for a baby shower gift for a baby shower at the end of this month. I have another one next month and the following one as well! WHEW! Today, I went shopping for a wedding gift for Saturday! Oh well, it's a once in a lifetime thing so I GUESS it's ok...Not to mention, I have LOTS of friends who celebrate their birthday in the summer! Why did their parent's have them all at the same time! LOL

BTW, how about them LAKERS?? I KNOW they can pull it together and beat the CELTICS!

Join me in cheering for the LAKERS during Game 4!

Nothing exciting....

2008-05-23T15:35:00.000-07:00

So I have been meaning to blog for QUITE some time now. I never have anything REALY that exciting to blog about. After I talk about it with ALL my friends, I'm over it. LOL

But, I'm going to try to BLOG! Lately, I feel like everyone else has something exciting going on except me. Weddings, graduations, bridal showers, and then there's me. The most exciting thing of my day is leaving work. At least, this weekend I will be going to Laughlin, so that's pretty exciting!

Have a fun, safe, and relaxing MEMORIAL DAY weekend all!

CRAZY week....

2008-03-14T15:23:00.000-07:00

It was been a crazy week to say the least...All the news and drama and tears. Anyways, besides ALL that, I myself have had a CRAZY week!! Soooo, I was looking for a job for THE longest time. I got 2 offers from 2 different places. I took one over the other because of the pay and hours. I started last friday and guess what? I got let go TODAY. One week later. The CEO who has been there 6 months decided YESTERDAY afternoon to move people around. Well, he decided that I am no longer needed. The HR lady/my boss had to break the news to me. She felt SO bad. She didn't even know about it until she came in that day. Don't you think decisions like that need to be discussed?? He also let a person (who HE rushed to come back from Worker's Comp) go because he was afraid it might happen again. So I'm on the job search AGAIN. Will it EVER end?? Will I EVER find anything?? I wanted to just crawl into a ball and cry! Just when I thought everything was going to go back to normal....

Sometimes...not so nice...

2007-09-24T23:56:00.000-07:00

So as much as i LOVE my mom, she doesn't say the nicest things. I don't know if she doesn't think it's mean or it just comes out without her thinking abour what she just said. Either way, it hurts my feelings and as many times as I tell her, she hasn't changed. My dad has even said, I know she says things that are mean. FOR EXAMPLE, when I was younger, she always told me I was too fat. And honestly, I really wasn't. I wasn't stick thin but, I wasn't FAT. She swears that she never said that to me. Well, of course, since then I have put on weight and it hasn't stopped. I try to tell here that there are better things for her in life to worry about. She could care less how I do in school as long as I am skinny doing it. And really, if someone doesn't want to marry me FOR me, then I don't want them. She doesn't understand that either. Because of all this, I don't even really want to get married. I feel a pressure to. And then today, I told my mom something and her response isn't exactly the one I was looking for. So I graduated from CSUF back in 2005 with a degree in Sociology. I have been trying to get a job for the county, city, or state! But, I lack experience. So I took my mom's advice and went back to school to try to get into pharmacy school. She talks about and compares me to her friend's kids who have money because of being a pharmacist. To please them and because I couldn't get a job doing what I originally went to college, I went back. So today, I got a letter from the County of Orange wanting me to come to and orientation and to take a test. I was so EXCITED! I usually get a letter that states "thanks for your interest...but, no thanks!" Ok not exactly in THOSE words but, it might as well be. Anyhow, I had a feeling that my mom wasn't going to give me the reaction that I want. So I wasn't even going to tell her. But, I did and she said,"you won't be making lots of money." I said, i knew you were going to say that and I wasn't even going to tell you. I was sooo sad. I grabbed all my stuff and went upstairs. I have always felt that nothing is good enough for them. I just don't know anymore. I can't be that "perfect" daughter they want. That "trophy" daughter that their friends supposedly have. I have a feeling a lot of these "friends" exxagerate. LOL Money has NEVER been my objective. If it was, I would of been a business major! My goal when I was in college was to do something that was going to make me happy. I felt like I could make a difference in someone's life. To be honest, I got very discouraged because I just couldn't get a job, I always lacked the experience. And this opportunity comes along and my mom isn't exactly supportive. I know she felt bad when I told her that so she tried to tell me good luck and etc. It was SO fake! So hurt. I couldn't even talk to her the rest of the day. I went to my room and closed the door and didn't come out until they went to bed. And it's been on my mind ever since...I prayed about it and I hope you can pray for me....

Ugh...Why?

I meant to write this yesterday and didn't have time! As you all may know, I went back to school. I have a full load with 13 units. A chemistry class, anatomy, and the math class. Although, I am not a great BIG fan of science, I can tolerate it. Most, not all, of the students in those classes are there to go in some sort of health field. So a lot of those students have already received their Bachelors in something that they obviously aren't using! With that being said, they are mostly all mature. The math class on the other hand is like being in a HIGH SCHOOL class. NO BUENO! High school was almost 10 years ago for me! The girls in there obviously just graduated and I have this feeling that they will be re-taking the course. They don't pay attention and talk while the teacher is talking. He's a laid back teacher and doesn't want to treat us as though we are in high school, but, he may need too with these OBNOXIOUS girls! Anyways, I just try to ignore them. LOL

So, I started to scrapbook at the end of high school to get all my memories in a nice way. And I tried to keep it up during my college and sorority days but, it was hard. Last year, when I was living with one of my sorority sisters, we started doing it again but, it's a EXPENSIVE hobby to keep up and not to mention, VERY time consuming! Well, I have plenty of pictures at home that are sitting there waiting to be scrapbooked! I went a little crazy yesterday and bought SOO many new things. SOO excited. Target and Micheal's had a sale! So I bought a BRAND new scarpbook and will probably start tonight! WONTY! ha ha

THINK Pink!!

So wayyyy back when I was in college (ok, it hasn't been THAT long) I was in a sorority. Our philanthorpy was breast cancer education and awareness. I think it's a GREAT one because soo many women each year go through it. Anyways, I just came back from my FIRST alum meeting and it was great! It's people I don't know and probably usually never would talk to, we are all different ages and have different things to put on the table! Anyways, some facts about breast cancer are:

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, other than skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer.
About 178,480 women in the United States will be found to have invasive breast cancer in 2007. About 40,460 women will die from the disease this year. Right now there are slightly over 2 million women living in the United States who have been treated for breast cancer.
The chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is about 1 in 8. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 33. Breast cancer death rates are going down. This decline is probably the result of finding the cancer earlier and improved treatment. - American Cancer Society

Anyways, each year Zeta Tau Alpha (ZTA; my sorority) raise money for breast cancer education and awareness. Some things we do is pass out information regarding breast cancer like some facts and reminders to do check ups. My local chapter has a Monte Carlo night which is, a casino night sort of thing. We have silent auctions and a night filled with games and music. The money that we raise is sent to Susan G. Komen. We also participate in the Yoplait, save lids to save lives...so this is where you all come in:

Save Lids to Save Lives®

This fall, ZTA alumnae and collegiate chapters will again team with Yoplait to Save Lids to Save Lives.

For each pink lid collected, Yoplait will donate 10 cents to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure AND an additional 5 cents to the ZTA Foundation. Last year, ZTA chapters collected 95,656 lids.

SO HELP US OUT! Send me some pink lids. LOL or just save it and I'll come pick it up! thanks!! ;)

So, I sometimes come on to read EVERYONE else's blog but, NEVEr write my own. I feel like I have nothing interesting going on! LOL But, really writing things keep me sane! ha ha Well, the update in my super interesting life...summer is over and i went back to school last week! 3 classes, 13 units! Super hard. If you didn't know, I went BACK to school to TRY to get into pharmacy school! So my classes are mostly science classes. UHH...no fun. Interesting, but, HARD! I also moved back home at the end of July. That has ALSo been very interesting! My parent's haven't changed...LOL It's still, where are you going? what are you doing? when are you coming back? Well, it's mostly my mom...I'll get over it soon enough though..and for now, that's what has been happening in my life! LOL See, not very interesting!

I THOUGHT I was good in Math

2007-02-27T19:02:00.000-08:00

So, I graduated from Cal State Fullerton in May of 2005 and received my bachelors right? Well, I'm not using the degree so my mother suggested that I go back to school. I am back now at Fullerton College doing pre-pharmacy and plan on going to pharmacy school when I am done here. WELL, in my major at CSUF I did not need a bunch of math classes so I was done pretty quick and thought, I would never need it again. I WAS WRONG! I am at FJC taking a college algebra class and I'm lost! I haven't taken math in YEARS! Now, I learned that I have to take the college algebra class, trigonometry, AND calculus! AHHH!! My little brother AND sister have passed me up in math. My sister has already taken calculus and my brother is in trigonometry right now!

My brother graduated from CSULB and received his bachelors in Management Information Systems (MIS) and Business Administration. He is back at Cypress doing the pharmacy thing. My sister is at UCR doing her pharmacy thing.

I am beginning to think that I will be the last one done! Oh well...

AND I have an practicum for my anatomy class tomorrow and I SHOULD be studying...see what you did Annalynn!

Still Blogger illiterate!

Yea, so I'm new to all this and it's confusing. It's not like myspace where I can click to just add friends...but, it's a good way to write down my thoughts and get things off my chest...
