twice in one day?! oh my. this is cause for celebration!!!one!!!1!!
Lately there have been lots of switches from blogspot to tumblr. I have to admit, it is quite tempting to also make the changes. The fonts are prettier, and you can post stuff in forms other than writing and pictures and youtube vids on blogspot. BUT. I WILL NOT FALL. I will resist, just like how I resist twitter! (Allllthough I really want to follow someone to get the up-to-date infos on the lynbrook-mv game tomorrow. poopie.)
TAKE THAT, mainstream America!
I am such a rebel. I think I should join the Green Party.

HAPPY GROUNDHOG'S DAY!
I never really understood what the point of this day was about, and yet I still religiously follow that stinkin' rodent every February 2nd. I still don't get how seeing a shadow would mean 6 more weeks of winter...anyways.
It has been approximately a month since the start of the new year, and instead of posting the new years resolution thang on January 1st, I decided to thumb my nose at the rest of mainstream blogger society and make one in FEBRUARY. Take that, mainstream America! (Actually, I was always meaning to write one, but I was either too lazy or...no. I was just too lazy.)
Since the start of the new year, I have:
-Lost weight! (gained it back within a week...and then some. eating panda today probably did not help)
-Longboarded! (One time around the block before I got a couple of weird stares from the indian familia that lives across the street)
-Hiked! (up to Hunter's point, where I felt like I was 40 because I felt sore afterwards. I also did the hike in flip flops.)
-Eaten a McGangBang! (Delicious, but it definitely contributed to the gaining-back-weight thing).
-Re-developed my love for reading! (1984. WHAT UP. I have two more books in my car and one sitting on my desk)
-Gone to Winter Ball! yayy
Since the start of the new year, I have not:
-Exercised regularly like I thought I would
-Gone on a picnic
-Become organized. INSERT BIG SIGH HERE
-Unicycled
-Grilled a steak by myself (although I have started to make lunch for the familia every Saturday! yay)
-Drive stick.
-Gone on any COLLEGE VISITS!
And, most importantly (as well as the most frightening), I have not done devotionals. OHHH dear. I know that this will not turn into any positive growth for my spiritual growth. In fact, it is probably a negative thing! It is definitely going to be hard to get over this hump of apathy and laziness to become m more devoted to my own spiritual growth.
Well, that is my list of the thing I have/have not done. My goal is to be able to do every single one of the things I have not done yet. 2010, here we go!

The early decisions have arrived, and where did I get in?!?
Nowhere.
Actually it's because I didn't apply anywhere for early decision. Did I scare you there?! good.
But all of this early decision-ing and admissions and rejections are really poking at my noodle. My college application process is definitely a different process than what I thought it would be. I thought I was going to major in business and ed somewhere. Instead, I am applying to a horrendous amount of privates with a declared major in psychology; all regular decision. It's interesting to see where God is taking me on this (less than) spectacular journey. This is definitely a huge lesson from the BIG Man Upstairs that I am never in control of my life. However, it sure is hard to be completely at ease with the fact that I may not even make it into Cal-Poly SLO. -____________- maybe I should have early decision-ed there.
On a more interesting note, when I applied to USC, I actually was bold enough to write down the url of my blog. I wonder if they actually look at it. Hi USC!

Today during lunch, I asked my brother how rainbows were made. He said that God drew them on the sky with crayons and the rain blurred the lines together. When I told him the rainbow went away, he said that God had erased it.
cutie!

It is December.
It is December, and I don't think I have ever felt this cold before. Like, seriously, I wake up and cringe at the weather reports because the temperature never goes above 60 now. My toes are always cold, my nose is always cold, and I have to wear longsleeves. EWWW. Is it just me, or do your arms feel suffocated when there is more than one layer on your forearms?
It is December, and I can't see the beautiful mahogany color on my desk. It is under layers upon layers of paper, magazines, college application essay drafts, and books. Today I tried looking for my lit essay rubric and found a Lifetouch check for $50. I then found my rubric, and lost the check (I can't help feel that it is stuck in a book somewhere).
But...
IT'S DECEMBER!!!
Hooray :) that means Christmas season is here! I basically walk around with a fatty grin on my face because I listen to 96.5 (aka CHRISTMAS SONGS IN DECEMBER) all the time. But secretly. NPR and Christmas songs are my secret radio stations; if someone else is in the car with me, I have some weird feeling to change it to 94.9.
This year, I was unfortunately too busy to set up the Christmas tree. The Chen clan Christmas tree is at least my age-every year we bring it down from the attic and marvel at the odd smell and discolored plastic, and every year we talk about buying legit evergreen trees. But, lo and behold, it ends up standing next to the piano, restored to its annual glory. I love Christmas :)
I guess the best thing about December is the people. Especially this year!! College peeps come back, relatives meet up, and friends chill together! I am SOOOOPER excited this year because I will be a second semester senior! I've even made a list of things that I will accomplish starting December 18th:
1. FINISH COLLEGE APPS.
2. Do the Costco Challenge (10 bucks=how much food you can buy from the outside cafeteria)
3. BLOG LIKE A MANIAC
4. Eat spam
5. How I Met Your Mother Marathon
SO that is all. Yays and Nays of this month. I need to finish my lit essay now. TA TAAA

I have been working at Subway for close to four months now. I remember thinking, when I started working, "Hey! I am TOTALLY going to lose some weight cause I'm eating all those sandwiches!"
Oh boy, was I wrong.
Since then, my tummy has only gotten bigger when the sammiches have gotten smaller and smaller. For awhile, I even tried eating the garden patties that they have (not too shabby btdubs.) but I realized that they were not even advertised as healthy. Then, I switched to only the subs listed on the napkins. Now, I don't know about that guy on the TV doing all of that advertising, but the napkin-listed subs taste like crap. I mean, the only edible thing there is the oven-roasted chicken breast, and even that looks like a meat frisbee. So now, I make my own variations of the existing subs, and ignore the caloric taunts from the napkins I wipe my mouth with.
Now, why a Subway post now? you ask. Well, today was the first time in a LONGG time when I ever actually felt sick of those delicious sammies. I also weighed myself today, and only GAINED WEIGHT. A little part of me wants to place all of the blame on the Thanksgiving turkeys and the ginormous amounts of food that I down four times a day. But no, I must face the facts. Stupid Subway.
i hate you.

Today is Friday the 13th. WOOOOO.
A lot of people were like, "OH EM GEE. I am having the crappiest day ever! Must be because today is the day after thursday the 12th."
I donno about them, but I think my day was not that bad. Well, the day isn't over yet, but YA KNOW.
I submitted my first college application today. WOO Cal Poly! go mustangs (it's sad that I had to google what the mascots for cal poly were.). I realized just how easy applying to college could be, but, alas, our mini-society has made it so that Cal Poly SLO has become my backup, and Ivy League schools my target. (Actually, Ivies are my reach, but I WISH!) Oh society.
I learned this on Friday the 13th. Poop. I wish i learned this on the 14th.
