| Okay, so I know it's been way too long. Between this post and last post, a lot had happened, again.
We moved to Cortland cause we got our own house now. We have 2 kittens, Zydrate and Gravez, and my beloved old car finally broke down. Adam was in the hospital for a whole week after we first move into the house, but he's doing a lot better now. I am currently addicted to plurk, and that's where I am most of the time, but I swear I still come back and check here!..... at least once in a while.
On the other hand, I'm still in search for a steady full time job, even though I love Jurin, I guess I have to leave eventually. Anyone nice enough to send a decent job this way? Pleeease?
I think I'm outta things to say, so I'm gonna stop now. Since everyone post quiz results on their facebook now I actually don't feel like posting more quizzes, but it's nice to know I have done the quiz thing waaaaaay before everyone else did. ;) Tschüs! | | |
| So, a lot had happened since my last post. (Of course it's been a while, but yeah.) I am now officially a college graduate and my family finally made it to the United States to visit me! :D I truly learn what it means that family is where the heart is. My mom, dad, grandma, aunt, and uncle came over between 4/26-5/12. Even though it was relatively brief, it was so nice to have people at home all the time, and I could seriously just live here like this forever if my family is here with me.
But aside from that, I graduated! Yayyyyy! Now I don't know where I'm gonna go with a full time job, but I hope everything works out well. Here's graduation pic and a pic in front of Jurin with me and the fam. :)

| I've came to the realization that I haven't updated for 2 months. Oooops. Not too much happened the past 2 months, but we did go on a small trip to Cincinnati OH (Jungle Jim's was awesome and I had a lot of fun in Indianapolis hanging out with Adam's old friends.) and I went home to Taiwan for 2.5 weeks! Woot!
I realized when I went home to Taiwan that being away from my family is way harder than I thought. I mean I know I have been around here for a while now (almost 8 years now!), but I was extra homesick when I was leaving Taiwan. In fact, I start feeling homesick on my flight to Tokyo, as in within 2 hours after I left Taiwan. I would really like to find an American company that is willing to "relocate" me to Taiwan, but that's probably a long term goal. As of right now, I went to the career fair by NIU yesterday in hope of searching for a full time job. Probably nothing crazy exciting, but at least something that gives me full time salary (hopefully decent) so we can pay the credit cards off and start saving toward something big.
Every once in a while though, however, I worry that I have set too high of a goal and thought too highly of myself. I mean, I have always thought that I have something that is worth a decent money, and I work hard and I'm sort of a fast learner. The job market have went down drastically, and the best proof is that I have a much better resume now with more experience, but I have been contacted for a lot less job openings, especially job openings that actually have direct relationship with my experience or skills. *sigh* I'd like to believe it is just a bad timing right now, and hopefully when it picks back up, I'll be able to find something that I am good at that I want to do. Right now it's more or so a dilemma of what I can do and what I want to do.
I miss Taiwan and I can't wait to go home again already. The sad thing is my life right now is actually fairly laid back. I have 2 night classes, and I work 3 nights at JuRin aside from making some menus for Osada san. I feel like I need to be doing something more/else. The sad thing is I still need to finish my independent studies.... oy. Time to motivate myself so when the time comes I can grab the chance that is offered to me. And I would like to graduate on time (well, at least according to current plan, even though I've been taking way too long to get my diploma) and just find a full time job and work.
On a sad note, Baker's Square is closing in DeKalb. Huge bummer especially since I'm planning to live here for another year for right now. Believe it or not, they have the best burgers in town, and the service is always good, and I have memories with Andrew on new year's day there. :P ( Okay fine, and even more memories with Adam there since we actually like the place.) I am so sad because everytime I want something decent to eat I usually end up eating out of town. DeKalb needs a JuRin to soothe my sad soul now. That would be the solution. :)
Well, for once I actually wrote a lot on an entry and talked about what I'm thinking on here. Scary. Who knows, maybe someday I'll sneakily post my 25 things on here that I refuse to post on facebook. Now there's also a survey fad on facebook now.... but I've done that a couple years back. Sophie is so ahead of the tide! (maybe not.)
I'm outta things I want to say for now, so tschüs for right now! (Btw, for more updates, go to my twitter. I actually start using twitter before it got this big right now, and there's a lot more updates there.) | | |

He was just here barely 10 days ago after the pita pete's party cause I made him come over and spend the night, since I don't want him to sleep in his car or drive like that. I can't believe he's gone. Life is so short and so fragile, and it has been way too short for you, Dave. Funny how we actually got along just fine but never really hung out.
You are not "that guy," Dave. You were fun to be around, and you're generally just nice and sweet to everyone. I still remember telling you everything will be fine and you'll find the right girl before you know that morning after you woke up and was sitting around drinking coffee. My pillow on my couch still almost smell like you. Your phone number is still in my phone, and I just took you to egg haven for your very first time that day. I don't even have a picture with you from this year's pita pete's party. How did I forget to take a picture with you? Life work in funny ways. We never really talked on the phone or kept in touch regularly, but you're still a friend. This year had been a really bad year in general, too many bad things happened.
I truly hope you're at a better place now.

| So I'm obviously still awake, and enjoying my first real night off from Language line..... granted it's 3:17 and I'm obviously still awake. However it is very relaxing knowing I don't have to stick next to the phone in the middle of the night and sometimes even have people yell at me for something that's seriously not my fault. Kinda nice.
Anyways, the weather was crazy. The temp dropped from 47 ish to about 15 right now.... with crazy wind that felt like it was shaking the house. The lights and stuff kept flickering so I think I'm gonna go to bed soon and have a candle close by just in case the power goes out. I hope not.
But of course, what would my blog be like without any quizzes!? So here we go....( what happened to my xanga HTML editor!? This is so weird....)
Your Snow Test Says You're Independent
|
You feel like something good will happen to you in the next few months.
You have an amazingly strong work ethic. You are likely to be very successful in life.
You are an independent, individualistic person. You thrive when you're doing your own thing.
Your biggest worry in life is your family. You stay up at night thinking about them.
When it comes time to relax, you have difficulty relaxing. You are a bit high strung.
|
I guess this is sorta accurate......? But yeah, I guess I don't relax easily granted I try to go do relaxing activities, but I just sorta get bored and want to go out and walk around.....
You Are a Hooded Sweater
|
You are active, casual, and laid-back.
There's not a pretentious bone in your body. You are very humble.
You have a very giving spirit. Whether you're dealing with friends or strangers, you tend to ask very little of people.
You are honest and open. You believe that if you are truthful with people, they will be straight with you.
|
I do love my hooded sweater. However I have no idea what al paca sweater feels like, and I was sorta sad that cashmere sweaters feel so soft yet is kinda itchy once I tried it on.... or it was a combination of me sweating a little bit and old navy has cheap cashmere. Who knows.
Your Sensuality Score is: 75%
|
You taste, smell, feel, see, and hear more strongly than most people.
Even the smallest sensual act can be quite divine for you.
You are a hedonist. You like to experience it all... whether it's food, art, music, or sex.
If you're not careful, you're apt to overindulge or get addicted to a certain pleasure.
|
Tee hee.
You Should Walk on Stilts
|
Your biggest talent is your ability to make people laugh.
And like most comedians, you'll do anything to get a people roaring.
You know how to work a crowd. You are witty, but you are also great at physical comedy.
But you'll leave the daredevil stunts to other people... you don't need them to get your applause.
|
I suppose that's a good thing....? But I do love making people laugh even though I have a weird sense of humor. :P
You Are Lingerie
|
You love to be seen as attractive. Being seen as sexy is important to you.
You drive everyone crazy... in the best way possible.
You love to tease, flirt, and fall in love.
You are the type most likely to be sleeping in someone else's bed.
|
Mmmmmm Lingerie. I love how they look.
Ooooooh. I also have to say that I survived taking pics for santa and the kids for breakfast for santa without kicking any kids in the face (thought tempted to many times.) Go me. I am outta stuff to say, so tschüs! | | |
