over 12 weeks of class. over 60 hours of studying. 4 hours of 225 multiple choice questions....and what happens??!! i fail.
not upset. not mad. just disappointed. question now is should i put myself through that torture again? another class? another test? another 12 weeks of school and $400 to take a test i suck at.
for now. just going to enjoy the summer. forget about it. sell the house. find a new house.
sf next weekend. definitely need to get away. i think we need to go to napa valley. some tasty wine should help my sorrows.

here at work. biggest shopping day, but no one here in the office. I was on a mission this morning. starbucks closed in my building. starbucks closed across the street....ended up walking 6 long blocks to find the nearest one. i think i have a caffeine addition, ya think?
eating left over fried turkey for lunch right now. (and a can of coke...caffeine fix for the afternoon). 25 lb turkey fried in 45 minutes. not as greasy as i thought it would be.
trying to get work done, but too many thoughts running through my head. left the dogs at fel's parents. i already miss them. suckers.
no plans this weekend. got to get started on all those thank you cards. damn. good luck. maybe i'll bring them to whistler. hehehe.
missed my family yesterday. first thanksgiving w/o them. i even forgot to bring my phone to bremerton. didn't get to call them either. kind of sad about that. many thoughts ran through my mind on this thanksgiving. i had many things to say that i was thankful for. i was just too choked up to say anything at the time.
thankful for my husband
thankful for my family and my new one
thankful my mom's tests results came out ok
thankful for my health
thankful for my friends
thankful for all the new babies coming
thankful for a job
thankful for another day tomorrow

fel's home sick. we both ended up having stomach problems this weekend. we think it's from the burgers we ate at gordon birsch. did anyone else get sick?
friday night was fun. and thanks a lot bradpuet....i woke up with a headache sat morning and it didn't go away until the evening!
saturday night ended up being a nice surprise. we tried to watch ray at the theaters, but it was sold out. we ended up going back home and was going to rent a movie. i checked the mail and something better arrived! our wedding video from our videographer! spent the evening watching the wedding and reminiscing about the night!
sunday went to b-town. nice to hang out with the family. :)
taking thursday off. thinking about going to vancouver with the husband. a nice little day trip. :)

so happy it's the first short week for me during the holidays! i had to work before and after for both thanksgiving and the xmas holiday. and for new years i actually get friday off! yippee!
been very very busy.
fri night: went out with my cousins....first time as a big group. that was fun. food wasn't too great. we ate at typhoon, the old spot where wild ginger used to be. first time got drunk in front of my cousins. they probably think i'm even more crazy. :)
sat: slept way in. lazy day. had planned on cleaning up the house, but didn't get to doing that. went out with mom, sister, cousin and auntie for an evening of dinner and to watch the nutcracker. how come i didn't know that the nutcracker is like a silent film. it finally hit me at intermission that no one would be talking. i guess i'm not into the "artsy" stuff. went over to visit maxwell afterwards. i can't believe how big he's getting!
sun: 9am church. fell asleep for a couple minutes, was a little tired! went to ikea to fight the mad crowds! crazy! we made through it, maybe a little too fast b/c we forgot to pick up some other stuff that might have been useful for the house. went over to brian rosete's for belated xmas party. nice nice house. it's amazing how nice it is decorated! down to every corner and detail! went to my auntie's house for our adopted twin cousins from china bday party. rode there with my cousin that is visiting from CA.
**this particular cousin and i are the same age, but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. CAN YOU BELIEVE SHE QUESTIONED ME WHY I DIDN'T CHOOSE HER TO BE A BRIDESMAID???? gave me a total guilt trip and that she thought we were "more than cousins" but also friends crap. why do i have to explain to her why or why not i didn't choose her. it was a tense, long ride to our auntie's house. i could tell she was very bothered and she kept saying, "i'm not hurt that i'm not in the wedding." i feel bad, but i don't think i need to explain myself to her.**
anyways, this week is going to be crazy too. new years. fri off to reserve the ceremony site (cross our fingers!!), sonics game, wedding show, hang out with bridesmaids.....
have a great new year!!!!! :) happy happy joy joy!

man. i can't believe they actually have a mood labeled as numb! b/c that is literally how i feel right now. the left side of my face is still numb and it's been getting worse since last night.
a long week. i didn't realize until yesterday that xmas was only a week away. for some reason i thought it was 2 weeks away. which means i have lots of shopping to do. damn. i don't even know what to get people!
weekends are pretty packed.
sat. xmas party phil and gian's (btw, do you need us to bring anything? and what time was it at again? six right?)
sun. xmas party julie and john's
next sat. watching nutcracker with mom, sister, auntie and cousin. is it a ballet? i've never seen it in my life. sounds painful though. fel, do you want me to buy you a nutcracker for xmas?
next sun. belated xmas party brian's. couldn't meet up before xmas. xmas after xmas. fun. fun. fun.
fel is really excited about the gag gifts...making up the rules and conditions. funny boy.
getting all different kinds of tests on tues to hopefully figure out what's wrong with my head. i'm starting to get a little scared, but hopefully everything will be alright.
got to work next week. no days off before or after xmas. sucks working like a mad woman. :( oh well.
man. come to think of it. new years is the week after next. what the heck are we doing this year? any ideas? i don't feel like going out to some club and celebrating it with a bunch of people i could careless about. man. i'm crabby. i'd better end this now. peace out man.

[15 Dec 2003|12:44pm] |
ok. so, i got some complaints that i wasn't updating my journal......and i finally figured out my password after some long thoughts.
well. lots has changed since i last updated back in may! i'm engaged, started a new position, and preparing for a busy new year. just trying to get through the holidays. i have so much going on in my head that i can't even be organized in buying xmas gifts! i hate it when i'm not organized....as many of you know!
i'm back in hr. really enjoying being back working with people (in a more positive way) and i have a great crew to work with. lots more to handle, but i've always enjoyed being busy and go, go, go. been to more meetings this past month then i've been all year! enjoying the new office. it's nice to know what the weather outside looks like!
wedding plans are coming along. met with the pastor at the church we've been going through this past year.....mandatory pre-marriage counseling classes we have to take........kind of interested in knowing how that goes! fel and i have our "moments"....mainly b/c i'm pretty stubborn. :) so, thisi class will hopefully enlighten us!
had a great time playing texas hold'em on friday night! we definitely have to do that again! but, with our real money! :)
thank you for waiting for me to update my journal almost six months later! peace, i'm out!

friday - woke up early b/c i had to go to court for my darn ticket i got for my accident. showed up at court and being that i had chosen to contest my ticket, the people involved in the accident were supoenaed. ended up having my ticket deferred instead...if i don't get a tix in 6 months, it's off my record. i ended up having to pay $140 for court fees. :( and hopefully i won't be getting no tix anytime soon.
stopped by vw dealership to buy a headlight b/c it went out....and we went on our way to our 12 hour drive to san fran. started our way at 11am....took a couple long naps, took a couple pit stops, in which fel kept making me try to hold it for 30 miles or wait until our gas ran out. ate mickey's d's for our v-day dinner, but had to eat in the car b/c fel said we were behind schedule. drove through mt. shasta while fel was sleeping.....speeded through the whole way, turning 50 mph corners at 80 mph like i was in the indy 500. it was fun! well, i had to test out my car to make sure it is running ok. :) made a couple stops along the way to relieve my bladder, and had loong dicussions with fel. 12 hours later we got to my cousins apartment in lafayette...small little town just outside of san fran. relaxed a little from the exhausting drive, was really tired and went to bed soon after.
sat - woke up later than anticipated. went to breakfast at the squirrel coffee shop. had yummy waffles and then went to meet up with jamie's friend, vanessa so that we could head on our way to napa valley. got to napa, first stop was a champagne vineyard. sampled a glass, and headed our way to the first winery. went to coppola, tried several wines, my favorite was the chardonney. but, i couldn't afford a bottle, so we just bought a unique wine holder instead. this was the start of feeling a little queezy. next stop was anothe winery. except this place gave free wine tasting and they were a local winery that only sells their wine in napa. tried about 8 different wines. was reallly drunk. walked around the winery aimlessly and left after being there for about an hour. it was fun. fel never had so much wine in his life. :) went to an olive oil company, bought some olive oil. left napa valley....except we didn't even buy a bottle of wine! oh well! there's always next time! dinner plans w/one of fel's friend didn't work out, so we ended up just eating dinner with my cousin and her girlfriend at a thai restaurant. after dinner, headed on our way to monteray bay to see vince. two hours later that evening, got to monteray. the drive wasn't that bad, i sang the whole way. it sucked though b/c it was raining and some of those roads were difficult to see ahead. got to vince's.....was tired once again from the drive. relaxed at his beautiful home.....in beautiful monteray. doesn't even feel like we're in cali....it is a small, oceanside city.
sun - woke up. vince cooked a yummy breakfast! waffles, bacon, scrambled eggs, and coffee. debbie is a lucky lady. :) got ready and went on our way on the bikes. went around carmel, pebbles beach, and monteray on the bike. realized that i have been here before with my family, but it is definitely a different experience touring the area on the bike! it was so fun and the scenery was beautiful. this little get away of ours has turned into a well overdue mini vacation. got home and rested a bit. headed out to pebble beach in vince's 4runner and saw what it's like to be living large. the houses were dope. saw the sunset for the first time with fel and took many pictures. :) we were craving for steak, and vince had a perfect place in mind. had a huuge steak, and we decided to walk around to digest some of the food! went to ghiradelli's and we all shared a sundae. yum yum. but, yet again, was sooo full. headed back to vince's and now i'm here at vince's updating my journal. :) he's been a great host and now we have to pack up and get ready for an early drive to head back home. anticipating another loooong drive.
with monday being a holiday, and taking friday off, it was a four day weekend, but i took tuesday off too to make it a five day weekend and i have an interview for a hr recruting job....i really hope i get the job. i'm really excited and i'm ready for a new work path. being at nord for 8 years has been long enough.
after these days being on vacation, i feel as if i can breathe a little easier....a much needed vacation. i feel relaxed and had a definitely enjoyable time spending with family, friends and fel. :) be back in seattle in 14 hours! bye!

Yao Ming to start in All-Star game
NEW YORK (AP) -- When the ball goes up for the opening tip at the NBA All-Star game Feb. 9 in Atlanta, Yao Ming will be the center trying to win the jump ball for the West.
The 7-foot-6 rookie from China will be starting for the Western Conference after defeating Shaquille O'Neal by almost a quarter-million votes in final fan balloting totals released Thursday.
DOPE! my chinese peeps be representin'
that racist bastard gets what he deserves......
on another note. i'm so glad it's friday. the week did go by really quick for some reason. i'm all caught up on my work, and i've been bored trying to find stuff to do. it's year end, so i am trying to close out my claims.....other than that, just chillin'.
going to b-town tomorrow for fel's dad's bday. sunday trying to hit the slopes b/c we didn't end up going last week. last week there was no snow, this week there might be too much snow!
home life been good. i definitely feel domesticated. working, cooking, cleaning.....damn. i'm really feeling old. my best friend that lives in NY now is here visiting. we're going to hang out tonight. it's always refreshing hanging out with her. we've known each other since kindergarten....definitely a long time friend. she said that it was bitter cold when she left NY yesterday, 9 degrees. damn. that's cold.
it was my sisters's bday on monday. she turned 18. we went to eat at desert fire. that was nice. my mom's been sick. she's been having stomach pains for about a week now. she's stressed. i wish there was more i could do for her. lots going on lately with familly stuff. ugh. it's hard sometimes.
superbowl sunday......i guess i'm rootin for tampa bay. oakland is a little too cocky. oh well. i haven't been keeping up with football this year anyways, so i guess it don't matter to me who wins.
ok. i'm going to work now. i'm out.

fel's off today. my sisters's don't school....and here i am at work. sucks. this weekend went by too quick too.
i had a relaxing weekend.
friday....went to the sonics game. won in OT. went over to jo's afterwards. had fun watching maya get her hair did. saw a scary movie, but fell asleep instead....so, didn't get to see maya's finished product.
sat.....woke up late again. made homemade egg mcmuffin's while fel washed the cars. did some errands....picked up my license plates....767 PTH. should have gotten personal plates....318 JWO. hehehe. went to julie's to borrow her snowboard. went to nordstrom....returned some stuff. decided i didn't need a black velour sweatsuit. :) went to dinner at red robin with honey bunches. gave me a proposition, i guess i'll have to find someone that will be willing. :) stopped by friends bday party, then to youthspeaks. almost had to use my spiked heels to throw down. :) went home. fel and i fell asleep on the floor in our room with the doggies. doggies had a good day. :)
sunday....woke up even later. :( i love to sleep. :) went on a ride. that was really fun. felt like our summer days rolling around town with no where to go, except this day was damn cold. went riding everywhere.....stopped for coffee and went home just before night fell. relaxed a little and fel took a little nap. :) cooked dinner. broiled some steak, made mashed potatoes, corn, and sauteed onions....turned out yum yum. paid bills while watching the golden globes and washed loads of laundry. it was a good day.
and now it's monday. body's sore from riding. i need to start doing my yoga again. i think i'll start in feb. it feels good to stretch out those sore muscles. going out to dinner tonight for my sister's bday....i still can't believe she's turning 18! crazy. my little sister is growing up. :)
it's going to be a busy week this week......

it's a dang cold saturday afternoon. my toes are frozen and it doesn't help that my throat is hurtin.
haven't had any time to update. workload is overloaded. i'm getting audited at work, i guess they need to make sure i ain't paying people loads of money for no reason.
definitely glad that the holidays are over. finally time to breathe and enjoy the house. nice to have a house to call our own. :) i wish the lil doggies were ok though. sienna is just not feeling well. the poor girl is balding...i didn't even know dogs did that. and not only do i have to deal with mr.fel's stanky farts, but her farts are worse. DEADLY.
finally got a car. it was nice driving my dad's V6 chevy malibu and all.....but, i had to let it go. hehehe. now i got a car payment though. sucks. oh well. i'm having fun driving it though....although i still haven't driven it in the daytime. :( we went to the dealership on a sat night just to check out what kind of cars they had, and less than two hours later i drove off with my new car...a '99 VW passat in silver w/black leather. and as fel says, it has all the "bells and whistles." i'm still nervous when i drive now...still a little traumatized from the accident, so i'm driving slow and cautious, i guess thats good considering i have my own insurance now and it was a pain the ass to find an insurance co that would even take me with an accident on my record now.
last night we had our first house guest. my sister, samantha came over for dinner and we watched one of my favorite movies...meet the parents. we got tired and she ended up spending the night. first time we had someone wake up with us in the morning. fel cooked breakfast and we rolled down to seattle with the dogs to visit mollie. fel's helping out with the fence building....i'm not being very helpful with that.....i'm more of an indoor person. sorry i didn't help! :(
well. that's about all. i can't wait until summer. i'm tired of this go to work in the morning and it's dark, and get off work and it's dark again crap. i wasn't made for the cold.

i guess you can say it's our anniversary today.
mr. fel tried to be sneaky and left a reminder on my PDA to tell me that today was the day he and i met at rochelle's bday dinner. but, little does he know that i check my schedule weeks in advance and saw that he had left it there.
fel and i knew of each other back in college, even had a class with together:) but, this day last year, a group of us were going to go out for dinner that night for rochelle's bday. before going to dinner, rochelle and i were going to meet up to watch "vanilla sky," however, i didn't know she was bringing company. we both had a chance to talk and at dinner, he conveniently sat across from me. :) lucky for him, he got to see what a nut i was.....b/c i kept talking about josh hartnett. :) and we had something in common where we had bad relationships. i knew his x, ha, and we noticed how we had a bad time with our relationships. i was still with my now x at the time, and he willingly listened to the torment i was putting myself through. :)
fel asked for my number b/c he said he owed me one for paying for the movie. :) oblivious to his intentions, i gave him my number....a couple of months later, we were hanging out. fel would fight the blistering cold of winter to ride his bike to my house and visit. who could resist him. :)
and as fel says, 'the rest is history." yeh. we just own a house together, that's all. :)

after all the packing, you forget about all the dreaded unpacking! i'm exhausted! it's hard moving into a house during the holidays.....too many things going at once! the living room is pretty much complete! and we just bought a new t.v. this weekend! 42 inch HDTV Toshiba Cinema Series and it fit perfectly into the living room! (we didn't measure how much space we had before buying it).
bought a xmas tree at the tree farm by our house. i guess there are some advantages for loving in the boonies. cut your own tree for $35! we chose a nice one. :) now we have to buy ornaments and things to decorate the tree!
work is busy and i have lots to do, so bye.

i call a customer who had an incident at the store. i introduce myself as janet wong. customer was poked with a pin when getting her shirt altered. the alterations lady who had accidentally poked her was asian. the customer was upset at getting poked and said "this is something that should not be taken lightly." she says the employee acted like it wasn't a big deal and said that she poked her herself all the time. customer got even more upset b/c now she thinks that the needle that poked her might carry some kind of disease or something and she says.... "you know how a lot of asians carry hepititis B" and now i'm worried if i'll get that or something like aids. i didn't feel like getting fired from work today. so, i switched the subject. if that dumb b*#%h gets a disease by chance, i won't feel bad for her ignorant ass.
anyways, it's friday. fel's out of town. i'm staying at my parents all weekend to pack.....boxes, popcorn, and bags courtesy of phil and g. :) thanks guys. and thanks for offering popcorn last night, i just wasn't hungry. :) hehehe.
i'm tempted to do lots of shopping at nordstrom this weekend b/c we get an extra employee discount. (it only happens once a year)....but, now i have a house. so i have to be a good girl and sacrifice having those prada shoes i want. i'd rather have a nice house anyways. :)
we should "officially" get our keys on tuesday! can't wait! so much to do! but, i'm looking forward to it.
peace i'm out! i have to work now!
