If you think I am crazy,

then you can keep thinking that I am crazy, because I am crazy. Just so you know, now that there is a computer in the dining room, I tend to spend less time in my own room. Also, this may appear odd, but most of the times, I like to sleep and live in my brother's room more than I like to sleep and live in my own room.

On the other hand, I'm not sure whether the week went by fast or not but tomorrow is Friday and that's all that matters for now.

a quick lunch

Jasmine insisted on driving me home today because of the heated weather, but then we decided to work on homework at the school library after 7th period. So after 6th period, we went to Jamba Juice and Antipastos for an hour. At Jamba Juice, I tried the new Pumpkin Smash-the drink that's supposedly a smoothie and a shake. My rating on this drink is a 3 out of 10. I think the warm pumpkin spiced seasonal drinks generally taste better. Maybe this cold drink just did not work out for me. The over dose of sweetness and strange taste of cinnamon and nutmeg just did not cut to the chase. But I decided to finish it anyway because my mother told me not to waste food or drinks.

So Antipastos is what I wanted to get to. It was my first time going there today, after hearing about it here and there, now and then. I thought it was pretty amazing because it was basically this hidden deli across from the Safeway on McKee Road. Neato. Jasmine told me that it is a family-ran business, so that made the place ten times better for being original. The fact that Antipastos is a family-ran business also made me think about In-N-Out because in Sociology the other day, we were discussing about the restaurant's own chain of  family-ran business. But anyway, I tried out the soup today and my goodness, I could not have asked for better soup. So apparently the word on the street is that everything is good in there. Interesting. It deserves to be written about on Yelp as soon as I make several more visits.

Now, goodnight.

what Jasmine ordered

unfortunate events that lead you to a chaotic night

So what are the chances that you will run out of printer ink the night before your Personal Statement assignment packet is due? What are the chances of changing the indent spaces to 0" and printing out the final draft at least six times? What are the chances of the margin lines not aligned correctly? What are the chances that you then run out of printer paper after running out of batteries while on the phone getting help? What are the chances that you find paper and realize that there are strange gray boxes on the right side of the papers for the Track Changes Draft? What are the chances that you realized after everything is printed that you did not save paper at all?

What are the chances?

For me, this series of unfortunate events happened tonight, even though I have been diligently working on this Personal Statement since forever. On Saturday, I decided to turn this Personal Statement packet in simply as another important graded essay. But I knew I needed to focus and take it seriously even though I plan on writing a separate Personal Statement specifically for the colleges. So above is an example where someone like you could suddenly think that you're in a very urgent FML moment 30 minutes before midnight, run into someone like me.This will not happen again. Luckily, all problems are resolved. Cheers to a long night of waiting for my Verizon phone to fully recharge again.

lookin' warm mr. moccasins

Looking at these warm-like moccasins make me long for the winter weather even more. Where has the chilly breeze of morning air gone? Cold weather, can you come back and make peace with this lava hot weather? Thank you.

Dan's not that crazy. First he did the Star Treks sign. Then he tried the peace sign. But in the end, I somehow caught a high five on camera.
