I Impatiently Sent Her a Text Message

So today, I couldn't wait. I sent her a text message telling her that she's got a gift. She seemed surprised. I'm sure  April reminded her on Friday night, since April confirmed it. But Lisha texted back saying she was busy, so I'm assuming she forgot. I trust her. She also said that she has a test tomorrow. O_O
OUCH. That'll badly impact the value of the present. Crap. Hope things go well. She promised to get the gift tomorrow. I wonder how things will work out.


On the side note, my grandmother is still in the hospital. She's definitely not lonely now since all her children and grandchildren are with her. I still couldn't go to visit her though - my mom said the hospitals are unsanitary and that there are a lot of feuds in-between the relatives (it would be bad if i get caught in it). Now I'm worried on two turfs...boo. 

Waiting in Frustration

She hasn't been online yesterday and I've asked April to tell Lisha about the present. Perhaps she's ignoring me? Or did she not get it? Ugh, the frustration!!! Ok, I gotta keep my cool. It's only been one night and one day. Maybe she is busy. I gotta give her some space. And rushing things is bad, right? I followed my heart this time and not my brain - hopefully, it's a right move.

It Finally Arrived to Her Dorm!

So today the package finally arrived in her dorm! (well, at least according to amazon shipment tracking). It arrived late at night, so I'm glad i ordered one day earlier. Whoo! So today, I had a nice TA grading my blogging homework for my Engineering Forum class. I posted my blog 30 min late and he still accepted it - I feel grateful. But then again, it was my fault for getting too distracted - I spent the majority of my night tracking that package of tea. In fact, I even forgot about my online physics because of that! Oh well. I'm sure one missed homework won't hurt much...right?
Today was also a hunger rant for me - I went on a straight marathon from 7AM in the morning until 2:30 PM. That was hell. I mean I could've gotten used to it in Tech, but with demanding college courses, that's a different story. Then, Helen dragged me to help her on her FAFSA. Seriously, how the hell can she expect me to help her on something so personal? Oh well - at least it's nice to have company. 
But ah, at least the shipment went through today - it made my day despite all the bad things that happened today. 

Should I Make a Move for Her?

Today I talked to April about Lisha. I FINALLY found a gift to find her: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P7506M/ref=oss_product
I figured that it would be unique for Lisha, you know? Instead of regular roses, she'll see a flower bloom right in front of her and plus, it'll be beneficial to her health too! What more can be better? Now for her birthday, I also found a company that mails birthday cakes. Expensive, but if this becomes successful, it's worth it. (http://www.bakemeawish.com/) 
So focusing on the valentines first, I'm sure the delivery system will be flooded that weekend from valentines orders. But should I send it today and have her receive it Friday or let her pick it up on Saturday? Such a tough decision - in fact, even April doesn't know (typical response of her though). You know what? I'll order it today. I mean, it's $30, but hey, it's really symbolic, right? I think it's worth it. Now the only other thing - I wrote a Valentines poem about a 2 weeks ago in advance for Valentine's Day. Should I send that to her in addition to a Valentine's letter? Would I scare her? But I already wrote it out, so I don't want to waste it. You know what, it's better for the poem to be used than to collect dust - I'll send it anyways. I'm scared...how will she respond? 

Another Family Member in the Hospital

My great grandma recently needed to go to the hospital today. I hope she becomes better because the doctors said that she has a cyst in her stomach and there is a chance that cyst may be a cancer tumor. Either way, it's extremely painful, esp since they kept on inserting/withdrawing blood from her body. Man, I hope she feels better. Unfortunately, I only heard this from my family because I had class and could not go with my mom and grandma. Aging is inevitable, but I really hope she becomes better.

Early Birthday Celebration

I celebrated my birthday early today! Woo! Well, it wasn't that awesome, but much better than expected, so I'm glad. So I received my present from Helen, Yu, and Henry today. I love my best friends - they got me the AIR anime soundtrack! It's so rare! In fact, it's so rare (and out-of-circulation) that I don't want to open it to listen. And Ivan gave me a birthday card too (my second birthday card in my life, I think)! Unfortunately, there was little to do at my house - I had one master computer and one laptop, but even if the boys played games, Helen would absolutely be bored and we didn't quite have as much people for a fun party. Hey, at least we ate  at Dream Kitchen today - it was awesome food. Too bad I didn't take a picture of it.


(^.^)v


P.S. I purchased the tickets for BAM's Distant Worlds Concert in the orchestra section. Yay!!!

First week of Spring Semester

So Poly finally started it's spring semester - boy an I glad to have something to do instead of sitting in my house doing stuff I deem to be incompetent. So what happened this week? To be honest, there was a lot of "stuff" that happened. What exactly is this "stuff?" Well, first off, there was a snow day (YIPPEE!!!) today and all my classes/hw got pushed back. Not that homework was a problem (because i finished them all already due to my enthusiastic nature from all that restlessness of the vacation) but because I have more time to plan things out and more time to prepare for what's going to happen. You're probably wondering why I would need to prepare for HW submission, right? Well, lets just say unexpected things tend to happen to me often, so it's best to be prepared for as many things as possible. Besides today's snow day, here were some other personal events I valued as follows:


A Re-Inspiration from a Former Role Model
There was a homework from my EG forum class to read articles and blog about them. Sounds boring right? Well, a few of them do, but they're understandable. One in particular, the Stanford gravitational commencement speech by Steve Jobs in 2005, really touched me - again. Now what do I mean by again? I'm pretty darned sure that I read this speech somewhere online and it inspired me in the past, but it never inspired me the way it did when I read it again yesterday. Man, reading the same, touching article 3 years later feels completely different.


So lemme tell you this - I dislike apple. I VERY STRONGLY DISLIKE IT. Why? Because their corporate world is composed of douche-bags that try to monopolize everything and make idiot moves. In reality, I sometimes find it hard to believe that the company still survived based solely off of its name and not the product itself. Take the I-touch, for example - does it HAVE to use it I-Tunes store? Seriously? Even Zune doesn't FORCE you to use their own app. And the I-phone? Why AT&T only? And why the EXCLUSIVE contract? Even Starbucks opens its doors for everyone at the same price.


But after reading this article, I felt somewhat different. I remembered how i dislike apple for their marketing and monopoly moves, not for their technology itself. I realized that I started to hate apple because I was just supporting Google Android and their open-source software. Now I remembered how much I used to respect Steve Jobs - how he went through the worse and made it successful to this very day. I thank his speech for reappearing before me once again to help guide me to my right direction of leadership.

First Day
The first day of class wasn't that bad - we went to a large auditorium and sat there to listen to lectures. Not to mention, I got to reunite with my poly friend again! And poly cafeteria finally opened near the end of the first week! Omg, I love the soups at Polytech sooo much. Welcome back to my $2.25 lunches!


Registration for Distant Worlds Final Fantasy Concert with Nobuo Uematsu 
So tickets for his concert in Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) went on sale this week for a performance on April 1st and 2nd. I can't wait to go! In fact, I'm still debating whether or not I should get the $95 orchestra seating tickets or the $175 VIP seats. I'm sooo tempted! (But i realize that it's not THAT worth it to meet him, since he'll probably have no time for 1-on-1 Q&A and would only allow for a moment's photograph and signature. Still, the temptation is STRONG. O.O


Planning for Birthday Lunch Party
My birthday is February 4th, 2010, but it is located on a the day RIGHT after New Years. Fortuntely, it's on a Friday. UNFORTUNATELY, most of my close friends will leave NYC and go back to college, so that isn't too good. Therefore, I plan to have a party this Saturday for lunch with everyone. Now the only question is where.....

The Green Hornet and what I Did After That

The newer version of Green Hornet is awesome! Well, I can't compare the one that came out recently to the older, original movie, but the technology used for the movie was A-MAZING. All the explosions and gunfire were really nice in detail and the comedy definitely won my personal awards. Unfortunately, we weren't able to watch it in IMAX yesterday, but digital 3D was nice (although the glasses proved to be annoying, as they say it to be). Afterwards, the whole group walked all the way from 34th street, Manhattan to DeKalb ave, Brooklyn. Insane, huh? Well, at least it wasn't that cold when we crossed the Brooklyn Bridge. 

When I finally came home, I had to immediately go back outside to my aunt's car to buy a chair at Staples.

The chair was so awesome - but setting it up was a pain, due to its composition (A lot of steel and fabric). My legs are tired, but it was a fun day.

A Dorm Room all by herself

So I've recently installed the Blogger application to my song x10 android phone. This seems pretty cool and definitely will make things more convenient for me.
So anyhow, lisha went back to university of buffalo today while her suite mates are heading back tomorrow. She must be really lucky to have the whole room to herself. You know, I wonder how is it like to have a whole room at disposal, since I never had the chance.
Oh well, I should focus on the retake of my calc final on Tuesday. Ciao!

Winter Lonliness

So first off, I am proud to say that I finished watching Valkyria Chronicles (the anime) within 3 days. You might probably say that it's fast, but it's an unfortunate 26 episodes, so it wasn't that much. And the thing is, it was so good! In fact, I actually teared when Isara died. Can you believe it? Tears - from me. That's a symbol of good storyline right there - and now I want to buy the actual game too! (but too bad i don't have a PS3). Well, at least I have Valkyria Chronicles II for the PSP and just ordered the last soundtrack of it through Play-Asia. And you know what? I'm starting Spice Wolf today, another series that seems to match my tastes.


Unfortunately, Lisha is moving back to UB today. Lately, she hasn't replied back to me. Is something wrong? I'm a bit concerned, but I'll let it slide, since she has to repack everything and spend time with her family. (God, I miss her)
