It's All about the Heart

The interview

I woke up at 8:30 AM to study the U.S. History and Government. I arrived downtown an hour early before my scheduled time..why? to find a parking spot. I decided to just go on and park at the Horton Plaza Mall. I chilled for 15 minutes outside the building studying how pigeons walk... hahaha.. I'm just kidding!
When I was checking in, the security guard asked me if my fone has camera... Darn it! I have to back to the mall to leave my fone in the car! Arrgh, my sweat dropping off my forehead!

The process didn't take that long though..here's the question the consultant asked me:
1. How many stars are there on our flag?
2. Who said "Give me liberty, or give me death"
3. Why are there 100 senators in the United States Senate?
4. In what year was the Constitution written?
5. Name the ammendments that guarantee or address voting rights.
6. State one duty of the Congress.

I passed the interview and my Oath taking ceremony will be on August 18 at the San Diego Convention Center.

~~~~~~~~
OMG! I saw my schoolmate at SDSU at Wowowee...My friend and I are planning to see Wowowee, too!!! I told my mom if ever, I'll greet her!!! She's laughing at me! but take note of this, she told me to bring a huge board so I can write San Diego on it! hahaha

Thanks

I would like to thank all the people who greeted me before, on, and after my special day. I really appreciate your greetings!!!! Whatever form it was, it could be a fone call, an instant message, private message, email, and text message...They're all sweet.

I spent my day yesterday wondering around downtown San Diego. I got lost! I went there to look for the INS building for tomorrow's interview. On my way home, I got lost because of all the ONE WAY signs!

I didn't have a celebration yet since my brother's gonna be home on Saturday so we decided to just do it then. It'll be just a dinner out at my favorite restaurant, OLIVE GARDEN. I had a party though at work today. Didn't expect it, thought they all forgot about it, but I'm wrong...good food indeed! that's all I can say!

My birthday wish???? hahahaha
I hope it's already on the way....I think it'll need more packaging maybe! LOL

My mom gave me a GUESS watch.... nice....nice...nice...
My other brother gave me a bracelet... cool...cool...cool....
And I thank my relatives for extra cash!!!Seriously, one can never go wrong with cash... hahahaha

Moreover, after struggling with dial up, I decided to get cable modem!!!

Finally, I can enjoy surfing the web without disconnections!!!

I have a headache!

Check-ups: half and half

As I mentioned yesterday, I had two check-ups today. I am so stupid that I scheduled my dental appointment at 8:30 AM, my gums are now starting to sore. I guess I have to face my monthly dental appointments with courage! Tightening my braces are so pain in the ass!
Then I went to see my eye doctor for my regular eye exam. Guess what???? My presciption has been changed. I used to wear -1.25 and now both my eyes are -1.50 with my contacts and -1.75 with my eyeglasses.. Hollly Molly!!! I have to save money for LASIK eye surgery by the time I am 40! According to the doctor, the change is not that bad because I've been wearing a -1.25 in more than five years. On the other hand, it's nice to know that everything about my eyes looks normal, no glaucoma, or whatsoever. He mentioned though that my eyelids look irritated and asks me how often I change my contacts. I lied! I told him 3 weeks, but I change my contacts every month. Oh well, I got away with it though! :P I do keep my contacts clean and I definitely don't wear them when I go to sleep, that's being unhygienic! I'm just saving money coz those contacts are really expensive!

Then I spent half of my afternoon walking around the mall looking for something to buy. I bought myself a nice dress which I will be wearing on Sunday. I will be singing on Sunday, too. It's my way of saying "THANK YOU" to God for another year. Also bought a new pair of denim jeans and a couple of shirts.

It's so freaking hot today like yesterday! I guess the temp is around 90 to 95. The good thing is that it's humid not dry...I am sweating like crazy everytime I get in the car and I have to put my AC on full blast!

I have to cook dinner now, wanna give me a hand? I'll be cooking "sinigang na manok".

Being stingy won't hurt, right?

I am close fisted when it comes to spending nowadays. I have to save...for some reason *wink*
I have to take care of my bills before I visit the Philippines so keeping a tight budget will be soooooo challenging! I have less than 6 months and I am counting every single penny I spend. Isn't that so marvelous?
Well, I have no difficulty when it comes to budgeting. I got this talent on my mom. For all of you who doesn't know, she still runs a tight shift in the house. I have no complaints coz we turned out good.... Is that right? good? definitely!

Speaking of spending, I have to take care of annual check-ups while I am still working full time and have the $$$ to pay for all of it. I have dental and optometry appointment tomorrow. I also have to drive downtown to know how to get to the INS for my interview next week. I have to study the US history and politics in prep for the said interview. According to some people, it's not that hard. I'm still keeping my finger's cross. However, if they will let me sing the National Anthem in exchange for the interview, I am willing to do it!...

Golly! I am so tired!
I've been having weird dreams these past days, it's all about the men in my life! hahahaha!!!

An Argument

Gees.. I had the longest argument with a customer earlier...More or less 10 minutes..He's so stupid and narrow minded that he can't even understand the thing I'm trying to explain. He told me that I think so systematic that I don't understand him!...I'm so sorry, I am not racist or anything but I really have some issues regarding the people of India. He only had a chance to be better off compared to a regular immigrant in the United States that I think it already blew up his head!....Good thing I managed to keep my smile while my blood already reached its boiling point!

Monday, July 18, 2005

Yey!

Yey! I will get the chance to visit home this year! So awesome! I can't wait! I am so excited!!!

Funny thing happened yesterday...my aunt's (aunt in law) parents talk to be yesterday regarding hooking up with their son. OMG! I think he's still with his girlfriend. I am shocked that they told me there's nothing wrong if I gave them my phone number coz as far as we know, they're not married yet. They really like my family which I think made them think that I will be A OK to be their daughter-in-aw. Seriously, I am flattered.. but hey! I won't do anything to ruin somebody else's relationship.

Okay, if I like someone and later knew that he's with somebody, though I am so head over heels with him, it never occured in my mind that I would like to somehow ruin their relationship. Yeah, sometimes isn't fair but I would rather see that someone be happy to whoever he wants to be with and I, on the other hand, will just move on and mend a broken heart. I guess, that's the most decent way to deal with it, right?

Oh well...

My update

Several stuff happened these past few days and I can say that it brought me mixed emotions.
==one of my friend got in the nursing program for Fall 2005. I am so happy for her. She called me so early in the morning to ask if she's gonna be taking it or not. I told her not to be stupid of course because the list is way waaayyy toooo long and she finally got her chance. She did followed my advice on what to do. File for a leave of absence at SDSU and move on with the nursing program.

==it didn't occur to me that prolly next semester, I'll be the broadcasting that I finally got in the program. I focused my attention at planning for my classes at State to get my BA in Psychology. I have to freaking turn in all the necessary paper works for financial aid to all the colleges that I applied, nursing wise. Or else, I'll be extracting money out of my own pocket to finance my studies if ever I get it.

==I'm counting and I went online to check how my waiting has been doing and I am up to the 80th place. The list is not updated yet but for sure with 95% chance, I will be called in by Spring.

==With all of these nursing thingie on mind, I am ready to put my BA on hold. I need to earn a living. I mean, A LIVING! To finally experience the real essence of being a young adult.

==My friend confirmed me of paying her regarding our plane ticket. As soon as I issue the check, this trip will be SOLD! If yah know what I mean. I am so excited!

==It sucks because I called SDSU to ask if they could adjust my registration date since I am already a senior. Unluckily, they won't let me register early coz according to them, the scheduling was done late March and my transcripts didn't make it making me a junior. I am worried that by the time I register, all the classes and schedules I want will be closed. Arrgh!

On a slight note, Filipinos caused major traffic at I-5 freeway going Los Angeles. Why???? coz of ASAP. Well kinda exagerrating but according to our delivery truck driver, most drivers he saw were Asians. This is just my theory, coz all the Filipinos I know of here in Daygo were planning to see the Filipino celebrities in LA plus the chance of winning 2 Honda Civics. And take note, it's FREE admission...so there goes my "ohhh" and "ahhh" with the hint of "that's why".

Off topic, but the driver said that Asians drive like Mexicans. He sounded racist but I really have to agree with him. Asians speeds up then suddenly slows down. Driving like that won't do any good, it's very dangerous especially when you're driving in the freeway. Most of the times a sudden stop causes collisions. Err! I hate people who drives like that!


PS. HP 6 is now out in the market!

Have a good weekend!

Bookworm

I started reading Harry Potter 5 last weekend. I am halfway through. Book 6 will be coming up soon so I better catch up. I love reading! you know why??? coz I've been spending less time watching the TV now so I have no clue what's the latest Hollywood news even the current events. And to think, that I don't watch my fave food network program. I used to cook everyday making different dishes I learned from watching the program but lately, reading has been my agenda. It's good coz I get to eat less!

Working is harder than studying. Who agrees on that? I do. I used to have plenty of time doing stuff at home like cleaning and washing clothes but since I started working full time again, heck! I can't even put all the clean clothes back to the closet. How pathetic. I am just dead tired that all I want is to lie down, read, and go to sleep. Oh well, my motivation though comes from what I'll be getting every two weeks! not bad! *teehee*

Philippines...been thinking about the Philippines...

Arrgh!

I got my grade for my Psy 333, only got a B+. Two more points for a freaking A. What did I do????? I knew that I messed up with my final. And I did. I am so disappointed with myself. My grade for Geo 303 is not out yet, I hope this one will be better. Sorry for sounding like a grade freak, because that's how competitive I am. I've learned my lesson in high school, oh that's a long story why I ended up like this about grades and stuff.

Anyways, the weekend has been alright. We had a family dinner last night to celebrate my parent's anniversary. 26 years and still counting...Did I tell you that they were engaged for 7 years before they got married??? My dad is my mom's first boyfriend. See the where I got the idea that my first boyfriend should also be my husband? no need explain huh? :p (Am I picky??? oh no! don't answer that! hahaha)

I saw the eyecandy today at the grocery store...It's funny 'coz I didn't expect him to do any grocery shopping at all. I know he's been living in his own pad but deng! the thought of him cooking??? Nah...I really doubt that. But heck! I think I'm wrong, he maybe knows how to cook... Awww, that's gonna be so awesome!

Well, you prolly know that I am a dreamy person, right?
Had another weird dream last night. My only comment is, though it's weird, it felt really nice...it left me daydreaming all day long today...Hahaha..

Ayt...

Howeee!!!

Finally, summer classes are over!
Before it ended, I was sweating like crazy with my finals. I did study for 4 hours yesterday plus another 2 hours last night for my two classes. I am so anxious that I think nothing was stored in my mind. Anxious, that I might mess both test up. My high expectations are driving me nuts! I hope that it'll turn out okay. I have two solid A's so far, I am scared that if I mess up with my finals, it'll pull my grades down. If that'll happen, I'll be so freaking frustrated! Seriously, I will...

Enough of my whining and crap, the feeling is just so nice....I am over with the pressure of studying...

BTW, my friend will try to hook me up with a CNA job. I hope I'll like it, or better yet, can I handle two jobs this time???? as I've said... let's see..

I feel that I am starting to become a bookworm. I am so fond of libraries and bookstores!... I went to Barnes and Noble and I think I can stay there forever just reading all the books!...Right now, I'm browsing Amazon.com to see what books I can find. I might spend my whole summer reading books. 10 books will be just so awesome!...oh well....

Last day of Summer Class!!!

We'll see...

Golly! I need to get my financial aid money now, my bills are starting to pile up!...

HAppy 4th Of July!

Happy 229 years of Independence to United States of America!....

America the Beautiful - 1913

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife.
Who more than self the country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!

A weekend filled of lovestories

Happily ever after....What's that all about????
Is there really such a thing???
I think the definitin of happily ever after depends on how one will define it.
For me, happily ever after is finding your greatest love and spending the rest of your lives together no matter what. That's how I define it...

I've encountered several love stories this weekend and it was nice listening about them hoping that you would also have a sweet, romantic story to tell. A friend from way way way back in my FEU days shared how she met and fell in love with her husband. Two of my ate twins also shared their love story how they end up meeting the love of their lives and also marrying them. Those three couples have something in common. They all settled down with their first boyfriend. Moreover, love came to them unexpectedly. I will look at it this way, the princesses were in their respective towers when all of a sudden their respective princes found their way to meet their princess. Isn't that so sweet...

As I listen to their stories, I've been dreaming about mine....Is he also gonna find me, look at me in the eye, sweep me off my feet, and take my breath away???? How will I know???? They all told me, "You will know!" when the moment comes....As a word of advice (yes, they've been asking me about my "as of this moment dull lovelife") before we ended a very romantic conversation, "Abby, don't worry, love ( meaning my prince charming)will be looking for you, no need for you to look for it. Be patient. It'll come when you least expect it."

The lesson of today's entry????
I WILL STOP LOOKING FOR ORLANDO BLOOM, BECAUSE ORLANDO BLOOM WILL BE THE ONE TO LOOK FOR ME!

Just kidding!... I'm just trying to lessen up the chessiness of today's entry...
