What better way to spend the holidays by being sick....I really don't understand. Let's see, I went out on the 20th with Graham, Mi Ryung, Tien, and Ram's family. Felt fine, although I did have a huge headache on the way home. The nite of the 21st, I started to cough--oh no. 22nd was a full day of coughing. 23rd was a day of body aches. And this morning, my throat felt like shit when I woke up. I guess you gotta hit rock bottom before you start feeling better again.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

Updates
Wow, time sure flies when you're doing nothing! It's been a while since my last entry and a lot has happened too. Where shall I begin?
1. After month's of searching for a job in LA with no avail, it took me a week to land an internship in Seattle. Granted its unpaid, but whatever. I will be interning for Parker LePla, a full service communications firm, on Jan. 3. The internship will last 3-6 months and I'm actually pretty excited. Go me!
2. I quit beef. That's right--- I QUIT beef. I just figured that if I cut down on my meat intake, I'll have room for more veggies and fruits. I haven't touched anything beefy since Thanksgiving...only the good Lord know's how I'm doing it.
3. I am going to my first Sonic's game on the 28th, so look for me on tv!! I'm going with my little cousin (not a hot a date) and we'll be sitting pretty close to the court. No nose bleed seats for me.
4. I learned how to type in Chinese! Well, I didn't learn, I just didn't know that I could till now. Whoo-hoo!
5. I finally saw Mi Ryung drunk. She's one of em silent drunks--chillin by themselves until aggervated. It's pretty funny.
6. Extended family is living with us now. I swear my house is broading house or something. What's sad is that I'm now sharing a room with my sister and its not bad, but I know we would both like our own rooms.
7. Christmas is almost here! What I love best about this time is that I get to see high school friends that now live in New York. It's ironic how everyone wanted to leave and once they did, they miss Seattle like crazy.
8. Had my first Salmon Spring Roll party at Kei's. Everything was absolutely fabulous, except for the fact that Kei got sick--sorry! Must of been Canton Wonton. Oh, after meeting some new people, I reaffirmed my opinion that CS majors are just weird asses. I really don't understand their humor. Take a break from programing and GET OUT!
9. It was Graham's bday last nite and the last time I celebrated his bday was back in high school, so last nite was nice. I also saw RAM and his infamous wife. I really wanted to talk to Ram and to catch up with him cuz I have not seen him in 4 years. I'm going to try to meet up with him in Portland on the 1st. We'll see if the old ball n chains will let him out.
I think that's everything....

Hair today, gone tomorrow
I decided to get a haircut yesterday. I wanted more of a trim than a cut. I haven't had long hair in a while, so why not? I went my new usual place that most of us to go and was ready to make heads turn and use the phrase "don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful".
What I had thought to be a trim was a snip-snip here, and a snip-snip there. I needed to see more hair on the floor as evidence of getting my money's worth. As I know now, it is NOT good to be greedy. To make a 10 min haircut short, my hair is just whack. Can't really do anything to it! =(
On a different note, I spent almost 3 hours at Wal-Mart today. It was Kristi's and Kei's first time there, so I guess it was like Disneyland for them... Maybe, maybe not? Anyway, as people were getting gifts for loved ones, I was thinking about what to get people..... Maybe I'll be "creative" this year and make something for people (like a protrait of me in a cool frame?). Practial and useful!

The pain~~
What a sad day for yours truly. I had applied for a Media Planner position couple months ago in LA and the HR manager replied back, suggesting a different position that may be more suited to my qualifications. I e-mailed my resume to her directly and never heard from her till a month later. Turns out her computer crashed and she lost my resume. Not to fret, I e-mailed her again and never heard back.
Fast forward to the present. I got an e-mail from her--an invitation for an interview for the Assistant Media Planner position for the Infiniti team!!!!! My heart sunk. It's not like I got the job but at least let me interview for something~~
They have an office in Seattle but no current openings. Damn~
--------------------------------------------------------------
A side note to make me feel REALLY old. Turns out the school system in Federal Way has a new thing--something like a parent/teacher conference for high schoolers. My parent's can't make it so I'm stepping up. Tomorrow afternoon at 3, I will be my little cousin's contract guardian. *Think I can make it for the early bird special afterwards?*
