Good Day Darlings...

Good Evening or Good Morning whatever time of the day it is where you beautiful people live. I've had so much to discuss but my brain was turned off these past few weeks, my apologies...

First up:

BANANAS... I used to loathe bananas. They were gross to look at, has this weird consistency like mushy mashed potatoes. UNTIL I ate an organic banana. WOAH this was an amazing experience, one in which I eat two a day. Forget an apple a day, which I do, but I will eat two bananas during the course of the day. For the potassium and because they are so damn tasty. Holla it out loud with me:::: Banana! Big ups to bananas.

Next, I would really like to discuss Stella and Apple Cider...

WOWZA... this drink concoction that I accidentally stumbled upon is outstanding! It's like a fizzy, apple-like, beer that packs a punch after three. Well at least it does to me, I'm a light weight. Think about frothy, fruity, a little bitter,... MMMM MMM MM! That's right, it's so good.

The classic movie, Nacho Libre. One word: FANTASTIC. Moving on.

Gun Laws in Arizona... are we serious?! I just read an article that the Los Angeles Times put up today (Jan 22, 2011). It states that Arizona's gun laws are the most lenient within the United States. As long as you are 18 years old you can purchase a rifle or a shotgun. But wait! You have to be 21 in order to purchase a handgun. WOAH?! How stupid is this nonsense?! Legislation passed some bullshit to where guns are permitted just about anywhere in Arizona. Gee, that is so safe. I really want to be around a bar with a bunch of drunk people carrying guns. And get this, you do not need a permit. Arizona could be the best place for ex-cons, psychos, and murderers. Wait, there is more, guns are allowed at schools! Take the bullets out though, but hey why not bring a gun to school! Show and tell. Come around the classroom kids... woops, didn't know that last bullet was in the chamber, sorry Sally.

I understand "The right to bear arms" as it states in our country's constitution and Arizona's state constitution. This isn't Tombstone folks! I don't know, I guess I'm just paranoid from watching movies like Boys in the Hood or specials on Crips and Bloods. People carry their guns to the bank in the morning, coffee at Starbucks, concerts, school soccer games, I mean I would feel a little unsafe. Check it out... it kind of set me back a little, like, WHAT! http://tinyurl.com/4586dln

I start Grad School this coming Monday... wish me luck!

(((Went to the San Diego Zoo with my best friend Roma and her boys, we had a great time)))

I SWEAR

As I sit here sipping on Archer Farms Organic Green Tea, which is a Target brand... I had this sudden urge to jump on my blog.

In my email last night I received a link to the Balkan Heritage Field School. I wondered, why a field school? My major is not archaeology or anthropology. However there is a field school in Bulgaria that offers hands on training for 13 days this summer that is complementary to my major as a History student! To restore and create educational assistance with 3 Roman murals that are thousands of years old! 24 students are allowed to come on this wonderful journey and I have sent in my paperwork! I simply cannot wait to join this team of students and be able to TOUCH a Roman mural. It is a dream that a lot of students in this field have, to be able to go into the world and visit ancient sites. To be able to take part in the preservation and restoration will not only be vital in my future career but it is a DREAM!

Directly after Bulgaria I will be on a plane to Australia! Talk about a worldwide summer vacation! This is extraordinary...

Side note,... my boyfriend of a million years, because that's what it feels like --- is an asshole. How many times do I have to hear that everything is my fault because I did not listen to him? I'm sorry, when did you become the Holy Grail of Truth? Do people come to you for advice? Last I checked you claimed you don't like anyone and no one likes you... so why the hell should I listen to what spews out of your mouth? Being blamed for things that I cannot control is like poking me in the back so many times with a stick. I am going to eventually snap and attack you. Constantly calling me a bitch and adding a very derogatory adjective in front of it that rhymes with ducking makes me a little pissed off. Being hung up on all the time because you are finished speaking to me is kind of like stepping on my toes in flip flops, I am now aggravated and upset.

We should seriously consider canceling this lovely relationship and shake hands. Because in all honesty this is not how I am supposed to be treated. RANT OVER

Hot Green Tea Por Favor

Hola people!

You guys ever notice that I use a lot of little Spanish words in my blogs or even when I speak? But you know what? I don't speak Spanish - I know, I know, you thought I did! Trickster! Tricky tricky I am. :)

Okay, side tracked for a second. So, I wanted to dedicate this blog to my favorite hot drink for the last 3 years, GREEN TEA! How many of you like a drink that not only gives you a little burst of energy but also has antioxidants in it? That's right people, I'm talking about the good shit... and it's not drugs or a laxative! It's GREEN TEA!

I drink a lot of it, I have over 10 boxes/containers, I am an addict. I suppose drinking tea is better than smoking pot, speed, or crack (crack is whack). Either I am drinking hot green tea, cold shaken Black Tea, iced tea with lemon, or cold green tea fraps...... always in the tea. How typically Asian of me! LOL! Okay, so the TOP 5 green teas that I absolutely LOVE are as follows:

1) The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf: Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearl, whole leaf-loose! Not only does this tea have a SUPER long ass name, but it is fragrant. It smells like Thailand, jasmine fields, hint of green tea, with a dash of earth. This tea blew my mind, YUM! Expensive though, $20.00 for 4 ounces. The tea leafs and jasmine are rolled into tight little balls that unleash this flavor sensation! It's so damn good! Pretty strong too. Me likey...

2) The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf: Genmaicha, whole leaf-loose! Again, this company has got it RIGHT! Love this, it is mild, fully of flavor, and it smells like green tea was freshly packaged and sent to your little container. The price is good too, $8.20 for 5 ounces. High Five - it's delicious!

3) Teavana: Gyokuro Genmaicha Green Tea, whole leaf-loose! Holy crap is this good. I mean, really good. It is tied with 2nd and 1st. MMMMMMMM! Expensive! 4 ounces is $24.00, I know, CRAP! But guess what? YUM! It has a really strong scent, sort of nutty.

4) Tazo: Zen Green Tea, tea bags! This is pretty good and reasonable. Target sometimes has a box of this on sale for $6.99, normally a box of 20 bags is $15.00. It smells divine and tastes pretty good. High five to a cheaper tea!

5) Bigelow: Green Tea, tea bags! Well this tea is not AS good as all the above, however it is cheap, pretty tasty, and worth it! For a box of 28 bags, it runs $4.99.

So there you have it. I'm lame right now and felt that I had to dedicate tonight's or this mornings blog to green tea. I am apologizing right now if this bored you to tears.... to further the embarrassment, below is pictures that I took of myself a few minutes ago drinking my Genmaicha Green Tea! Yummmmmmmmmm...

XOXOXOXOXOXXO

What's the Point of a New Years Resolution?

I carefully thought about this... a New Years Resolution. I mean, what is a New Years Resolution? People say things inane such as:

1) Lose weight
2) Be a better person
3) Go to Church more
4) GAG ME........

I am very sorry but saying that you're going to do something because it is a New Year is stupid. It really is and if you believe that it is otherwise, then I apologize. In reality these so called, "New Years Resolutions" will NEVER take course. Let me explain why....



*If you want to lose weight, you shouldn't WAIT until the New Year to make a promise to yourself that you will lose the weight. If you have a plan BECAUSE you are going on a trip - okay I get it. Other than that.... PHA-LEASE.

*You want to be a better person. What the hell does this mean? You won't be rude to people or mean to people? Possibly you will stop reacting when someone does something retarded and say to yourself, "Everyone is different, it's okay that he/she just hit my car because he/she was on their cell phone while driving." PLEASE... give me a break. You know damn well you want to say, "Stupid bitch! Are you retarded or something?" Being a better person has to wait until January 1st? COME ON laughing my fuq'n ass off here. Why can't you try to do this all year long? NEXT!

*You are going to go to Church more. Okay, this I understand - a little. I'm not a big Church/Temple goer myself, maybe once a month or every other month, just because my Temple (I'm Buddhist) is an hour away and it is a pain to drive there. BUT you know you will go until like March and then it gets old. If you're not an older woman and not completely religious, you ain't going to Church more than you have to. You know I'm right.... you know it.

SO... what's my New Years Resolution? To have smaller pores on my face. There you go. Something doable and simple. Maybe try not to curse like a sailor so much.... NAH. Who am I trying to please here? I curse... So What Who Cares?!


I will say this, BE FREAKING CAREFUL THIS NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!!!!!!! NO DRUNK DRIVING PLEASE! AS NOTED IN MY LAST BLOG, JAILS DO NOT OFFER LUBRICATION. Take a cab, a bus, walk, sleep in a lawn, but mainly HAVE A BLAST.

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!!!!!!

XXOXOXOXOXOX

Lack of Etiquette

HI THERE!!!

It's rainy, it's pouring, the old man is snoring..... and I forgot the rest.

Man it is pouring in Not-S0-Sunny-California... it has been this way for about 3 days. But we really need it!

So--- what's new? I had my long awaited graduation/birthday/holiday party on December 18th at my house. It was great, a lot of family showed up, my high school friends, and my college friends came to enjoy the fruits of my labor. I planned this party for about 6 months prior when I received word that I was going to graduate in the Fall. Decorations looked fantastic, the food was catered [Thai food yum!], created a beautiful environment for everyone in attendance. My friend Teresa flew in from Reno, Nevada and spent 3 days with me which really made my weekend. We ate, drank, ate again, drank again, drank, drank, ate a third time, cake, drank, and passed out finally. Good Times!

CSUSB Alumni - these were a few guests that came through.... I love my ladies

I am bitter about the RSVP guests that claimed they were going to be in attendance and failed to do so. The purpose of RSVP is to ensure the host has enough food and drink for their guests or to make sure the host does not spend a lot of unnecessary money if people are not coming. Basically - I know a lot of flakes. Whatever the case may be, whatever happened to you on that day - there was still ample amount of time to cancel a day or two prior to the event. It's called COMMON COURTESY. Say it with me slowly people:

Common Courtesy

People lack the ability to know how to communicate or have a conscious. I constantly sent out reminders and the, "Hey are you coming? Let me know EITHER WAY" messages. I call these people: FLAKES. What do you do with flakes? Dust them off. I hate flaky people, I hate dandruff, I hate flaky crust, I hate FLAKES period. Moving on...The party was splendid actually - good friends, good times.... loud laughter, loud all together. So, thank you for those that came and celebrated with me. Much Love!

However, parties are a no go for me anymore. I refuse, it is a lot of work, money, time, and it's frustrating. Maybe a bbq but that's it. When I graduate from CSUF with my Masters I am not having a party, I am leaving the country for like a month and living la vida loca.

Lastly, I am a writer... good things a coming. Good things are a coming. Stay tuned!


Note: My new Leopard Spirit Hood from my Best Friend Romadocious. I LOVE it! However, I am still the Smart Red Fox....

Celebratory News from Southern California

Hey folks!

I graduated on Saturday, December 11, 2010 at 1:45 p.m. at California State University of San Bernardino. It was a hell of a long day but well worth it, I deserved the celebration even though I was beat tired with the longing to run out of the gymnasium screaming, "I FREAKING AM DONE!"

I look back at the time I spent at CSUSB and it was tedious, really it was. I began the journey working full time hours as an office manager for a private investigator and ended my last year at CSUSB without any job at all and focusing all my energy at my school work. It really paid off and I am lucky that I had the opportunity to not work and go to school. College is a full time job, it really is. Especially taking a full load! Trust me when I say, I did not have a life. My life revolved around studying, writing papers, research, and complaining about the work load. I will say that I worked my ass off for this degree, I was able to pull off 90 units in less than 2 years, which is insane!

What's next? Graduate school... I want an MA in History/Museum Studies and damn it, I am going to get it!

Possibly I may apply to UCR for their Phd program in History, which may be my best bet, seeing how I want to wear a fur pelt over my shoulder and announce the graduating class with an extreme English accent .... THE MASTERS..........

I love school. I love to learn. I love to write. I love to be a part of the collegiate process. CHEERS... on to the next!
