Guess what I got today!!!

My cap and gown for graduation! It still doesn't occur to me I'll be getting my Bachelor of Art in about two months of so. So crazy like OMG! Let's hope I don't fail any of my classes. Scratch that! I will not let that happen :D

And here are two pictures of me camwhoring with the cap and the other one of me holding the gown :P

Have a good weekend everyone! :D

I'm 25!

It's beyond crazy that time is moving at such rapid speed.

And there...I'm officially 25 years old in the Asian countries.

A quarter until I turn 50! Like woahhhh!

Honestly, I don't feel old at all.

I feel awesome and blessed.

Because I'm grateful for having an amazing family and wonderful friends.

Without them, I will never be the person I am right now.

Thank you all for putting up with me and be there for me when I needed.

I love yall with all my heart and angel kisses for every one of you! :)

Finally!!!

I know. I know.

I was supposed to change the blog layout and update.

But...I never have the time to really sit down and do it coz I wanted it to be done nicely.

Anyways, I finally made the effort to look for my new blog layout few days ago.

And I found it.

Simple and nice.

Just the way I like it :)

I wasn't planning to update my blog today.

I just felt like it all of a sudden, even though it's like 1ish in the morning here now

Well I'll update more about me being a regular college student, with my non swimming life.

That's all for now.

Later yall!~

happy and grateful

I had a pretty chill and fun summer at Arkansas.

Thanks to these two girls - Summer and Steph. Glad I had them while I was going through the transition from swimming to no swimming.

I had a even more fabulous time w my bestie, Jen at Chicago. Love this girl to death!

Time really flies, can't believe it's my last night in Chi and I'm going home in two days.

Super excited to see my family and friends :)

Super content and satisfied :)

For my other studio class which is the 3D class, our final project is to pick any location on campus and buy any kind of string to build something on that spot. There is this huge sculpture thing behind the art building I spotted and decided to use it for my project. At the beginning, I really had no clue what kind of string I was going to use. We were supposed to get it that weekend but I completely forgotten about it when I was out with my friends. So I texted my classmate to do me a favor by buying some for me before Monday's class. He bought two kinds of string, one is the jute kind and the other one I couldn't recall. Anyways, I've already had some idea in my head what to do for my string project. I wanted to make a beehive in the middle of that huge sculpture in order to take up the triangle free space. But it wasn't as easy as I thought, so I just started playing around with the string. I started to added more and more string onto that sculpture. Sometimes I'm happy with the ongoing process but sometimes I get so frustrated with it. I'll experiment with some pattern, if I don't like it, I'll take it off and so on. Seriously, I don't think I ever spend that much time on an art project. I would say this string project is by far one of my most satisfied art work in my entire life. During our critiques today, a lot of my classmates liked my project and complimented on it. Even my teacher!! He was telling the class that he's always afraid when students pick an art piece to work on another art piece, because most of the time the end results never turn out well. But he said my work was by far the best one he've seen!!! OMG! You have no idea how happy I was!!!! I've never been that proud of my work. That really gives me motivation and confidence to continue majoring in art :) Ok, I think I'm done talking about my project. Here are three images I took with my phone throughout the string project.


I took the first picture when I first started, the second one was kind of taken a little before half way process and the last one is taken two days ago. I'll post the pictures of my finished one this weekend!! Peaceeee

Don't worry...I'm still alive and doing well :)

Dang!! It has been AWHILE since I last updated my blog. Opps!

I really don't mean to do it though. I just have the tendency to putting it behind all the time =_=

There were few times I wanted to update it but when I thought of the amount of stuff I have to write. I hesitated and just left the blog..haha!

Anyways, my life has been good.

Since I came back from home this summer, I have changed for good in both swimming and school.

Big thank you for my pyschologist who have greatly helped me get through the good and bads for the past four months.

I never missed any of my classes except that one day I was sick and also to travel to swim meets. Other than that, I became more consistent in swim practices. Lastly, I have learned to control my anger and bad attitude.

I swam well at SEA games at Laos. Got the three gold medals I targeted :) Broke three SEA games records and two national records. Really happy with my results minus the 400IM. I know I have told many people that would be my last time swimming that event. I think I might have to take my words back because I wasn't satisfied with that swim. Maybe I'll swim that later this year..hehe! We'll see.

Oh, I celebrated my 24th Bday at Laos with my lovely teammates and the crazy Filipinos. My best bday present of course is to see my family!!!

Hmm...what else to write?! Not gonna lie, I seriously have lots to tell. Especially losing my passport on the weekend of the 27th of Sept and then what I have been through to get a new one...really not fun at all...>_<

Will talk more about that next time. Gotta head to bed now!! Nitey nite everyone!

Yay to my new laptop!!!! :) :)

I can't wait to get it!!!

Thank u so much daddy!!! I promise I'll take good care of it and make sure it last up to four years.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

So I got both of my grades back yesterday and I'm finally ELIGIBLE!!!!
It's such a relieve to be done with all my 24 credits! Phew~
I'm truly grateful for God letting me to pass the two classes and also to the people who have helped me.
I know this might sounds abit crazy..
During the days while I was waiting for my grades, I was thinking of converting to a Christian.
I don't even know where that come from..ha!
We'll see about that.
Maybe when I marry one someday...

whoohoo!!

I'm so happy I got a B in my philosophy class!!!! That seriously made my day!! :)

So far, I've already gotten my grades back for West Civ, Theater, East Asia. I'm satisfied with the grades too!!

I'm still waiting for my American Govnt, I'm hoping to get a C in that class!! Finger cross!

Pretty much I'm done with most of classes for the fall.

Now I only have to focus on two of my independent courses.

I'm this close to being eligible!! I can't give up!!

Turning older and wiser

I can't believe it's my bday aldy...

2008 is almost over!!

Man...time flies by like no others!

It's funny that the older I get, the more I don't bother much about bday presents.

Just getting all the bday wishes from all my friends is good enough for me.

The only thing I wish is to be with my family now :(

Miss them like crazy!

At least I have few true friends that I cherish are here with me :)

Thank you guys for always being there for me!!

Love you forever and ever!!
