Shifting from Xanga to Tumblr Apartment Life Global Studies 1 My New MacBook
Haha, yes, I did put tumblr on this list. Obviously, it has been a big part of my life now since I blogged practically every other day since I switched fro my Xanga in June. I can’t believe I switched though. I was on Xanga since October 2003. It was just time for a change, and I’m glad I still have memories from high...

OSA Mentorship: The Freshest Fam and Ubebe Goodbye to the 4th-Years Friends in the Valley
Of course, I have to put a shout out to the Freshest Fam. FRESH FOR LIFE. I had a great mentor, pseuds, and family and we totally rocked the awards during graduation. Best OSA Family = win. I loved going to the Griffith Observatory, having our sleepover, and volunteering at the Filipino-American Library....

USAC Elections: Bruins United vs Qualified CPS (Campaign for Pilipino Studies) Fee Increase and Budget Cuts Rallies
Students do have the power to make change. We already saw that last year with the youth support for Obama. This year, we had our own elections for student government and we were able to get two Filipinos into USAC as part of Qualified, made up of Students First and SERVE. Results...

SP Exposure Trip to Stockton and San Francisco SPCN (Samahang Pilpino Culture Night)
I grew from being part of Samahang in multiple ways, but what I originally came to learn about was my own culture. This year, I got to go on the exposure trip to Stockton and San Francisco, where we got to see a lot of sights important to Filipino history in California, including the iHotel and San Francisco...

Samahang Pilipino Board Winter-Spring 09 Pilipino Youth Empowerment Day (PYED) USAC General Representative 1 Office Samahang Pilipino Advancing Community Empowerment (SPACE)
My confidence in myself and in my abilities skyrocketed this year and I feel it. I feel like I am more critical about issues and I am definitely a better speaker than I was in the beginning of the year. It’s funny to think...
Getting Ready for 2010
Watch out everyone. I queued my recaps for 2009 because it was longer than I thought it would be and I separated them into five different entries, haha. Back in the xanga days, I wish I could say that I wrote recaps of the year since I started in 2003, but I think I only did 2006, 2007, and 2008.
Anyway, when I did recaps on xanga, it was a basic ten entry countdown, but I didn’t know how...

Bahahaha the pictures are funny. I have to admit, I think I’ve been using its/it’s wrong. Well, now I know.
“If you put an A in ‘definitely,’ then you are definitely an A-hole.” xD
It’s now more accepted as a “dialect form” (pfft), but I am still slightly bothered when people use “anyways” instead of “anyway”.

Heads or Tails?
After watching Sherlock Holmes with Kelvin, Rona, and Harold, Kelvin went home while the rest of us decided who would go with who to Daniel's birthday dinner at the Cheesecake Factory.
---
Rona: I want Harold to come with me!
Me: No! I want Harold! Harold went with you to the mall!
Rona: Noo, that's not fair!
Me: How does it feel to have two people fighting for you Harold?
Rona: How about you come with me and Harold takes your car.
Me: How about I take your car, you take mine, and Harold takes the bus.
Harold: Let's just flip a coin. Heads or tails?
Rona: Tails.
Harold: Which do you pick, Alvin? Heads or tails?
Me and Rona: What?? HAHAHAHA.
Harold: [flips the coin and it lands on heads]
Rona: NOOO! [picks up the coin and throws it]
Later on...
Rona: Wow, it sounds bad either way. Harold asking if you want head or some tail.
A couple years ago, I told my friend that I wanted...
Come with me?
Heck Yes, iTunes is Organized!
I finally finished moving all my music from my old laptop over to the new one and adding all the CD artwork and missing info. :D It feels so good to be organized. I even had to scan the cover art for the AcaDeca Music of China CD because I couldn’t find a pic of it online. Whatever it takes.
With that said, I want more music, haha. Anyone interested in sharing? Or is anyone interested in...

It usually ends with me spontaneously making an “ahh” sound out loud, regardless of who is around me. >_<
Art in a Global World
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I decided to be an Art or Design/Media Arts major. I constantly get cravings to have some kind of project to be working on. I love the feeling of working towards something and finishing.
Today, I got to thinking about new projects to focus on and for some reason, a lot of my ideas were related to the Philippines and just the larger world picture. I...
“Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year!”
– My FAVORITE Christmas song lyric ever. xD It’s from Burl Ives’ “Holly Jolly Christmas”.

Giving
When I went to the mall yesterday, I finally got around to getting presents for my parents.
Every year, I don’t feel right asking for anything from them. I don’t have a job so I already rely on them for help with food, clothing, gas, and whatever other expense I may have. I want that to be enough because I have gotten so much, but they constantly insist on getting me something for...
Alone with my thoughts in the middle of the night.
Fuck. </3
Waking up isn't so great when you are having a...
Too bad this person wasn’t even anyone I know or know of in real life. >_< How does that work? Subconsciously just imagining the best feeling ever with a person who doesn’t exist? Should I go back to sleep and try to get that dream back? I think I’ve gotten past that part of me.
Either way, I have to wake up.
“Counting time is not so important as making time count.”
– My fortune cookie.
Harold brought over some fortune cookies, along with the food from Panda Express that his dad made. The first time I read this, I thought it was so cheesy, but it’s true.
Winter break is almost half over and more than ever I want to do my best to make every second count.
Holiday Avatar Swag II
This thought kinda just occurred to me but why do people who celebrate Hanukkah still have to tag their posts with “xmas” to get the Star of David chain?
Awkward Parent Co-Worker Christmas Parties
Gahhh. xP
Went to my dad’s co-worker’s house in Santa Clarita.
Dad’s Co-Worker (to my dad): How old is AC? Me: I just turned twenty. Dad’s Co-Worker: You look like you are 12!! Me: Oh, haha. >_<
Went to my mom’s co-worker’s house in Carson.
Mom’s Co-Worker: Are you the one in college? Me: Yeah, it’s my third year. Mom’s Co-Worker:...

8-Bit Dynamic Life Shirt →
Wow. The concept is really interesting, though I don’t know exactly how feasible it is to have to remove and unplug everything every time you wash it. Besides, I think my heart going crazy standing next to someone I like would be more obvious than this because I don’t think I am smooth at all. Hah. xP
The Way Things Work
It’s funny how things sometimes work out when you least expect it.
My friends and I were planning on watching The Princess and the Frog today at 6:30. We settled on that time because Saba had to be at a Hannukah dinner afterwards, but then Saba couldn’t make it anymore. All of a sudden, people started to bail, so we figured we might reschedule to 7:30. Didn’t work out so I...
Holiday Avatar Swag
rrrogerthattt:
Very few people have their face perfectly-centered in their avatar/icon/picture/thing. Is there an alternate thingie that can go on people’s icons that aren’t face-related? Maybe a star on the top of the picture, or mistletoe, or a snowflake in the corner, or a dreidel.
Reminds me of the cat avatar during the Cat vs Shark thing. The whiskers needed to sorta align right for it...
Gone Four Hours...
…and everyone and their mother decides to have a tumblr-posting field day. Just finished sifting through everything.
