220 auditions were yesturday. I didn’t make it. Wasen’t expecting to. But am very glad I went. I didn’t do too bad but missed steps which I just remembered somewhere that they sometimes just count 3 missed steps and your out. I loved the piece. Kei is such a cool dancer. Next year I guess.. Haha. Ascension tryouts next week or in two.

After 4 hours of dancing, I stood for 7 hours on my first day of work clicking people in for the count. It was painful but wasen’t too bad because I had cool coworkers that suffered with me. I work again today. Oh, part of the perks is if there is an act I want to see I just let my boss know. Today Bodyrock and MCIA peformed.

Picture of MCIA team intro and performing at The Loft.

I will put some interesting things that happen through the day, atleast interesting to me. Today is also first opening night at The Loft! Yeahhh.

– I went to a class of 20 people, 20 minutes late and the door was locked.

– Lol, there are a million Kims in my Media Sketchbook class. It’s so cool to sit in a room with people of the same passion – movies/video. I am ridiculously excited about my assignments for this quarter!!!

– My first time getting something from the new burger king. I got a double whopper with cheese and Oreo shake. I feel like I’m just stuffing my throat with chemical waste when I eat at BK. The meat taste uncooked and substantless, the cheese tasted like plastic version of nacho cheese, the burger overall was sloppy as hell. The shake I feel like I shouldn’t even finish because it’s so unhealthy and not even the least bit good. FUCK. Why can’t they open an IN-N-OUT. Now that’s what a hamburgers all about bitches.

– FUCK. Blanked out first 10 minutes of physicsclass. And the professor was head of academic integrity.

So tomorrow is the big wedding and I have several jobs, give the groom tea when he arrives to our house, take infinite photos, wake up at 5am to drive my mom to get her hair done, then to Mira Mesa to get her make-up done, pick up food for the hundreds of guests at our house in the morning at 7am. Seriously, it will be a circus tomorrow. And guess what. I can’t feel my legs right now because I’ve been dancing full out for four hours straight today. Usually I can handle 4 hours fine. But today was my last day at Culture Shock so yeah… After the first two regular classes, 220 also taught two company classes… in a row. So now.. yeah. I’m hella worn out. Hope I can last the 18 hours tomorrow working… while in my tuxedo. CRAP.

The house looks really nice, I hope everything comes together nicely… I’ll have photos afterwards. :]

As the wedding date come closer.. the more bug bites I get. Everyone seems to be a little more tense, a little more aggressive, everything much more chaotic and crazy. I seriously had no idea this much work takes place to prepare for a wedding. However, my brother also told me that he helped out with a couple of weddings and one where every detail was prepared vs. one that was mostly winged, both turned out beautiful and heartwarming, and that there wasn’t much different about the two weddings. Except the latter was much less stressful. As the Summer comes to an end, I am excited about the new beginnings of second year of college. Summer to me always feel like a time of stalling, a time in life where nothing moves or changes. I have always dealt pretty well with changes and want to grow in character and experiences. It’s not like I’m racing through life or rushing time, but I just want to fill my time with deeper meaning, relationships, and experiences. I feel that college can fulfill this much more than laying at home watching T.V.

Today some friends and I went to watch “Burn after Reading,” which was a different kind of movie in the way it was set up and approached. One of us fell fast asleep, but I was captivated most of the time. I don’t want to give too much away, but the movie at one point definitely reinforced to me how fast life can be taken away and how important it is to value and appreciate it. I need to learn not to sweat the details and just enjoy and accept things the way they are. Just forget little issues and let them go. Younger, I was always a perfectionist, which is why I don’t mind spending hours/days on the computer editing a photo or movie so every second and cm of it was PERFECT. But I have also realized that when people watch a film, many don’t look at the details or care about small timing changes. Although details are important, it is more necessary to look at the larger picture and overall content. I have this uncle that is not super rich nor ever tried to be. He never seem to worry about much in life accept taking care of his family and making sure he has food on the table the next day. He is always smiling and is one of the most easy going people I know. I think he is this way because he doesn’t worry much… about anything. He takes life as it comes and does not regret or complain about what he has been living which is what makes him such happy person. I can definitely learn something from his approach to dealing with life and troubling situations.

So for some reason this past week, I’ve woken up with many bug bites on my chest and back of my neck. Probably around 4-5. This feels like the time I went to Vietnam where my two cousins and I could count at least 40 bug bites on each of us. I just hope its not West Nile or something. I can’t wait to get back to living at school. They say that if you keep getting bit by bugs that you have good blood or something but it’s such a pain and there isn’t a definite way to stop it. It’s not like I want to spray myself with bug repellent every night before sleeping.

So now that I quit my job at the Birch, my day is going very slowly. I woke up at around 11am and have been watching TV or been online till now which is around 1pm. I called the dance rooms at UC San Diego and they are closed until school opens because they just waxed all the floors. I just bought 16 more classes at Culture Shock SD. I already used up two, but it should last me until school starts. :] I was at my grandmothers house this past weekend and was inspired by a song my cousins were listening to by Lady Gaga called “paparazzi” so I choreoed something for it and taught it to them, its only 1/3rd done. After it’s done I might teach it to the new dance team at their High School which is also my old High School to use.

I seriously have no idea what I’m going to do for the rest of my week. At least I have dance to look forward to at the end of each day, I’ll probably take the House open floor today which is only $2 after the two classes just to fill my time. Sorry for all the negativity, I really don’t like down time, I get restless, maybe its ADD.

I would also like to Congratulate my friend Yen on getting her first job at Birch for the fall! w00t! Hopefully she gets the job at Yogurt World as well. :p

Oh yeah, it’s wierd. But I like this song:

I also posted this on my suite’s thread and one of my suitemates Roozbeh posted this which I thought was pretty funny:

“kane this made my day.. my mom walked in when i was watching this and the expression on her face was priceless.”

So after spending a large amount of money these past two weeks. I vow to not go on any more sprees until the end of October. I would say November, but I want to make sure I can keep it this time. I bought some new sweats, three pairs of new shoes, one of which is a yellow/green/white pair of Nike Dunks which I have wanted for half a year already so I’m really glad I got it. The rest are just misc. stuff. Today Doony and I went up north to the Carlsbad Outlet for the first time, then down south to the newly renovated Plaza Bonita. I’m pretty sure I have everything I want right now, until H&M opens, thats another story.

Yesterday was my last day of my 1 month unlimited plan at Culture Shock. I have one week left before school starts… and sister’s wedding on Saturday, so I’m not sure whether I should get the 16 class package for the rest of the year which is 75 bucks or a 1 month unlimited pass which is also 75. But I’m thinking once school starts, I probably will go to just one class a week if any at all because I’ll be so busy with so many other things. So I’m leaning towards the 16 class one.

I’m really excited for school to start, but I’ll also have many things on my plate. I have a job at the Loft which I really want to make a good impression for, TMTV which I want to do many more types of projects with, SCHOOL which I really need to raise my grade for, and Choreographing for different groups and for my own personal growth, and dance on any other team I might be joining. I really hope I can handle everything. X] We’ll see. If i can’t handle it, I have to give up or go easy on something, I’m not sure what… But I definitely should listen to a wise friend that always says “School should be the number one priority.”

MTV has this new show called “Busted” that’s basically been playing every night like every new show on MTV. I think the show is interesting because it inadvertently teaches teens ways to get out of a situation with cops and what not to do. It’s also basically “Cops” but without the “Bad Boy” song and with younger drunk Americans.

So today after my Grandmothers birthday, I was taking a shower and looked up at the window and could not believe what my mom did to it. My mom is being so ridiculous, she put bars to every window of the house possible.

Does she really think someone is desperate or small enough to fit that small rectangle in the wall?

I’m surprised my mom didn’t cover the sun light window because she actually asked me if I thought someone could come through that earlier. She cracked up when I told her this isn’t the White House and no one is gonna break it open and slide down a rope. But seriously I don’t know what to say. I guess it’s not as much money as a security alarm system which my mom initially wanted to set up.

Today was my last day of work at the Birch. I’m so glad I’m done. I’m finally going to Carlsbad outlet with my cousin tomorrow hopefully I can find my new Nike dunks there or else I’ll have to order some online.

I’ll miss these sea creatures.

Today is the day before my last day of my job at the Birch Aquarium. I’m glad I took this job because I gained experience that helped me learn about my work ethic and what I need to work on as an employee, since it is my first real paying job it wasen’t quite what I had expected. Hopefully working at The Loft in the Fall, I will be more prepared and I will work better at something I have more passion for – performance. I’m also glad I took this job because I made a pretty cool friend from it. This job also paid for my summer gas spendings as well as my dance classes… and some clothes along the way.

This past weekend we went shopping at Fashion Valley and I bought a bunch of new clothes. For me, my style changes pretty often. The thing about clothes is I don’t see it as a definition of your character but more of a statement of how you are feeling or just simply how you want to present yourself a certain day. This is why I don’t stick with one style all the time, I constantly change the things I wear and I always wear the clothes I buy the second after I purchase it because the entire reason that I buy it in the first place is because I am feeling the style at that moment in time, which could change the next day, so I put it to as much use while I’m still into it. Which is also a problem for me, because if I like something, its pretty hard to talk me out of purchasing it regardless of the price. It is also difficult for me to understand why some people are so afraid of stepping out of their comfort zone from the clothes they normally wear which is expecially frustrating if their comfort zone is so small. I strongly believe that there isn’t a limit to what a person can put on. People should understand that the clothes don’t define you. You define yourself and who you are inside, and clothes either help portray how you feel or it can serve the simple purpose of making you look good. Life is too interesting to limit yourself… at anything for that matter. That’s why I loved the motto “Maximizing life,” the second I read it.

My sister’s wedding is getting closer and closer. And as the date gets near, more things need to be prepare for it. This morning I helped my mom fill red envelopes for my mom to give to guests. I remember filling the envelopes for my mom before New Years as a child. I was surprised how much money were in the envelopes all together, but I guess this is gonna be a pretty big wedding.

I still haven’t finished all the envelopes yet because I had to go to dance class at 11:30pm at culture shock. I wanted to get more classes in before my unlimited one month ended this Thursday.

I really like the new art in the culture shock dance studio because I always thought the studio looked kind of empty and blank. I also found out my bud Tim is gonna take CS classes for the next two weeks since finals are over. It’ll be cool to see more familiar faces.

I then picked up Jeffel and went to Johnn’s apt in Marshall to help him move his stuff to his cousins apt.

After, that I had a photo session planned with a friend to turn her from shy conservative girl to hotass supermodel. I have a vision for it and I believe she is the right person to pull this challenge off so I’m excited. I’ll post up photos tomorrow.

At night, everyone was hella sleepy so we just went to TapEX in Convoy and played some Egyptian War which was pretty fun. I am REALLY slow at Egyptian War, I can hit the “Doubles” fine, but “Sandwiches” are my downfall. But today I got to final two because we were all pretty slow. If I were to play with my friend Iris, I would basically be watching the whole game cause she’s so ridiculously fast. We were loud as hell tonight. Oh yeah, dunno if I posted up a picture of my dog already, but here is one of her when we took her to the park last weekend when I played lacrosse with my cousins.

My parents went to Orange County so my mom could pick up her dress for my sister’s wedding. Obviously I had to make sure she bought several Lee’s Sandwiches on her way back. I ate my favorite “cold meat” and “BBQ meat” this morning. Yummm. Later in the day my friend Yen also called and ask wich type of Lee’s Sanwiches she should bring back. But I told her my mom already brought some back. :)

Today I was going to go to Carlsbad outlet to check it out with Doony because I’ve never been there before and heard good things about it. But in the morning I needed to help my brother move from his old office to his new one that he is getting with my sister. I had not seen their new office before so I wanted to see it.

This is all the paperwork my brother has and is also missing a desk. It’s interesting because a main role that chick friends play for other chicks is to console them during sad times. One of the main roles that guy friends play is helping each other move.

Of course I brought my new buddy along. Monster drink.
