FRIENDS AND FAMILY!! GIVE AND GET!!!

I need help distributing out friends and family to people. 

If any of you (or know anyone for that matter) shop at GAP/OLD NAVY/BANANA REPUBLIC/GAPKIDS/PIPERLIME, let me know your email address (or better yet, send me a text message to meet up somewhere so I can give you one)... 

I have lots more to give. Help me save the environment (by me not throwing away these coupons) and help my Gap family drive our sales through the roof this coming week by participating at our Friends and Family event. It's totally worth it because you get to give 5% back to charity of my choice AND it will save you some $$ AND you will at least get half of your Christmas shopping done. 

 

History

I am honored this year to be voting for the VERY first time in my lifetime. I was naturalized not too long ago, obviously giving me the right to vote for whoever I please to run this state and this country that I live in.

I am also honored to be part of history, one that will be written for the future history books to be read by the next generation. 

The First African-American President in U.S.A. 

Good luck Mr. Obama! 

In Rachel Zoe's own words:

"I die"

"Do you die?" 

(argghh.. I hate saving.. =))

Clothing and Politics

I never talk about politics or anything related to it when I write here. However, this "headline" news just breaks the ice for me. 

Why does clothing allowance matter so much ? Why the hell should we care about such matter ?How the heck will caring for such mundane thing suppose to help this country out?

This is why I hate talking about politics. It is too juvenile and mundane that the important issues gets left out roaming in the open air. People care too much about the small things. They overlook what and how these candidates will help us -- THEM, succeed and live freely. 

I wonder if Hillary Clinton will get the same amount of attacks as Sarah Palin does if she became the Democratic candidate. 

Choice

I think it is safe to say that "Photographer" is out of the question as a career choice for me. I spent three hours yesterday at Starbucks (studying) with a camera in hand and I did not even use it. I saw few photo options in the place -- old Japanese couple seating on the lounge chairs and a family (dad, mom, twin girls and a boy), and new employee orientation meeting (they looked really cute formed in one small circle table) --- but I let them all pass by. 

Camera

I am lucky to receive a SLR camera from a "distant" cousin of mine. 

Oddly enough, during the time of the receipt, I am not doing any photo shoots. 

Are hobbies essentially equal to growth spurts? 

They come one day and go away the next? 

Focus

I've been so focused on finding a research/medical/chemist job that I lost sight of what was truly important for my life. I lost track of my studying schedule. Maybe that's why I can't get any medical/science jobs -- maybe it's God way of telling me to focus on studying more than finding what will get me by these days.

It's kind of like finding true love. Maybe I should just let the job come to me instead of me trying so hard to find it. OF course, I won't stop trying hard to put myself out there, but now the realization that I just had just made me realize that getting myself into the career that I really want is much more important.

God has ways of providing for me.

My mother received a letter from the University Alumni Association about a health insurance benefit that I get as a graduate. It's "free" for 9 months. I got this letter myself during my PI vacation and I didn't get the chance to read it till I got back so I was pretty much passed the deadline date that was imprinted during that time, so I didn't register for it. However, here it is again, this time mom got it and deadline was extended. 

--- I am very glad that this happened because I am a little worried about health insurance these days since I know that I will be off of my mom pretty soon. God's little way of providing me -- lessen my worries per se. "Trust in Him, Do not be afraid"

NY Fashion Week from the eyes of Bill Cunningham

Watch the video. He makes a very good point about how women are having fun (and at the same time killing their feet) with their shoes.

Today...

* We had visitors during my work hours today. They are from the corporate office just trying to see how the place looks and how it's doing. One of the ladies has a British/Aussie accent when she said hi to me. I am amazed with British accents. 

* I was able to do some job hunting today. 

* I received another package from Proactiv today. I am sending it back as I have way too many kits  at my disposal right now. The customer service lady that I talked to at first told me that I had to pay shipping in order to send it back (big "HUH?" for me), so I decided to keep it. Then, I thought what's $5.95 vs $45? So, I gave them a call back to ask about the return shipping, this time it was a guy that I talked to and he issued me a return shipping label. Hmm.. I guess that lady was not completely trained on return policies. 

* Sites like these - unclutterer.com and thesimpledollar.com inspires me.

* I also remembered that I can get gift cards through ebay for less than $20-$30 their normal price. 

* Clinic did not call me today. I hope they call tomorrow. 

Rant

There's nothing more frustrating than a computer crashing on you whilst your in the middle of submitting an job application that you put so much effort in.

I don't even know if my application was submitted. 

@#$^@%&^%#$*&$^(%^*&$%

Itunes and Rentals

I just realized just now that iTunes offers to rent movies. 

WHYYY?? WHYYYY ???? WHYYYY??? 

God, is there a reason why my iPod's screen got squished like a bug? Why did that happen? Why? 

*siiigggghhh*

I'm starting my list of rentals. 

First one is "The Other Boleyn Girl" ---- because I just love sibling rivalry gone bad.. 

I won't complain about redundancy

As long as I love the job that I am doing. 

Tops

I read from Gene's book that in order to "inspire" or "create" a personal essay one has to brainstorm himself and his everyday life in order to get the inspiration of what to say when he starts writing. 

here goes... 

things that inspire me.. 

beauty, kids, fashion, pictures

things that motivate me.. 

anger (o good gosh..), annoyance, kids, a boring life, a chance to spend a day doing everything that I love doing. 

I think that's all for now. I remember that I posted something before that lists all the questions that medical school adcom asks during interviews. I should look into that. 

What is UP?

august, september, october, november, december. 

5 months. 

*shudder*

*JANUARY* = 1st attempt to play the game. 

I am giving myself 1 month of job hunting, after which if I don't find one remotely related to my career choice, I would have to go down the road of *environmental* and/or *clinical lab asst.* aka. lab helper.
