| so.. i dont exactly have a list ready, but wanted to share that last night there was a shooting at my apartment complex.
http://www.ocregister.com/articles/handfield-officers-police-2144512-irvine-suspect
i spent the whole day talking about it so i dont really have anything more to say on here.. except that life is short and i want to live my life without holding back, taking initiative to make my dreams a reality and to not limit myself from ever reaching them. and while i want to get away from my life here, i truly am lucky to have what i have and i need to work on being more appreciative... GREAT job/company, great living location (...well maybe just not my specific aptmt complex), great boyfriend and family and friends and roommates. sure i dont know a whole lot of people here but that just gives me more room to grow and to learn to be tougher and more independent. ill get out of the OC one day.. probably by the middle of next year, but until then, ill learn to appreciate every moment of it b/c i have the chance to.

| a part of me wants to really strip everything that im used to and just throw myself into a situation and place that im completely unfamiliar with. i wish i could just pick a month to quit life here and fly myself to greece or somewhere far. im tired of doing the same things everyday. there's no fun, no spontaneity. im bored of the everyday. i can have the everyday when im old and have a family b/c that will be good for me then. i dont want my life to be so typical yet i feel like i cant leave it. i feel like im constantly in a battle with myself.. rationalizing what i should be doing with what i truly wish i could do in a limitless world. and this is why im unhappy here in irvine and feel like nothing will really feel right here. i tried appreciating what i have by trying new things each time, but then i get bored after just a week of doing it.
ive felt sad for a year plus already so ive decided im going to end this year with new changes. the next time i write will be when i have made a list(s) of those.

| since i miss taiwan so much, tim took me to eat at din tai fung in arcadia last night. it's a famous restaurant in taiwan that is known for their damn good dumplings and they happen to have one here in so cal. it was an hour drive so by the time we got there, we were starving. we ordered six entrees between the two of us, and then seriously contemplated ordering a seventh afterwards because we still had room. our waitress persuaded us not to. i love being w/ a guy who can eat. it was good.  on a completely different note, there's nothing better than having a guy hit on you at work via email, then after telling him im in a serious long-term relationship, to have him tell me he is a photographer and ask if my boyfriend and i would like to participate in a photoshoot some time so we can be on his cheesy lovey dovey website, and then after telling him no, having him bring his entire portfolio to me and a stack of his business cards for me to pass out to the rest of my co-workers to promote his photography, and THEN asks me to hook him up w/ one of the girls in HR that he saw me talking to, asking about a billion and one questions about her, stalker-style. "is she temporary or permanent?" "do you know her story? single? married? bf?" "which building does she work in?" "will she be in the office tomorrow?" "can you put in a good word for me? ...and then maybe give her my card?" good LORD! are people really that tactless? it was so creepy and odd that i found it amusing. im going to go to work tomorrow and tell her to stay away from him! oh and i threw his cards away in the trash. im not going to be a solicitor for you! especially when i work in HR and am surrounded by Senior HR folks. sheesh. helloooo! | | |
| my mom & youngest 10 yr old brother stayed in taiwan for an extra month and my mom said that david took care of her, made sure was eating all of her meals, walking on the inside of the curb, carrying all her bags, opening the front door for her everyday..
& my mom told me that one night, before they fell asleep, david turned to her and told her
"mommy... i never want to be without you."
broke my heart and i feel so proud of him. really, i dont think there's anything else that's more important in this world than family and it makes me happy to see him appreciate the moments we have with each other.
