song: brown eyes - "buhl ssuh il nyun"

OH NO!! ;; ... IT'S ALL STARTING AGAIN!! >< ...you see, every year i go through the same thing, and every year i end up right where i started: nowhere!! TT;; well technically, i've only gone through it twice: ------ & -----. and i was hurt pretty badly afterwards. when i think about it, i'm a pretty sad excuse for someone about to graduate from high school in 7 or 8 months. i've never ever gone out with anyone. never been on a date before in my life. when i see a cute boy, i run in the opposite direction (literally!! ^^) most of my friends are pretty bold... to me, at least. stacey will walk up to any random guy and start a conversation (!!) ... little haley can talk to just about ANYONE ... miala is pretty good at that thing they call flirting ... oputastic has a way of always establishing close friendships w/boys ... i could go on & on, but i'm trying to eat an apple & this would be a bit awkward to type *chomp* ...

and then there is ME. I SUCK. i don't know how to flirt. it's hard. my close friends are all girls. i talk to a grand total of... *counts fingers* TWO BOYS. i mean ACTUAL talk, not just "hi" or "what's for homework?" it's really pretty sad because every other girl i know can sit around and talk to boys like... like they were GIRLS or something! O_o ...i always feel incredibly embarassed. I CAN'T EVEN SAY 'HI'!! TT ... tannya told me i'm normal. so... how exactly do people ever go out w/anyone if they're too scared to talk to them & the person never notices they're alive?? it seems to be a longshot to wait for that 1 out of 1,000,000,000 that YOU like to like you BACK. i don't get it. OW! >< ...my head hurts from trying to figure this out! it's all too complex for me.

but uhm the social was fun! *^^* i wish elyse-o-saur could have been more happy, though. stupid evan & stupid rebecca. don't they realize that they are both causing her so much grief! rebecca, you are not fat. evan, you are not a big jerk. now everyone is happy & elyse can be happy and not worrying about all of this. people should THINK about who they are affecting when they get angry over silly things!! *sigh* ...maybe elyse will come a-beaching tomorrow w/miala, alisha & me. beach ahoy!! ^__________^

song: jo sungmo - "chal gayo...nae sarang"

OMG!


alisha, stacey & i were sitting in ka'ahumanu wasting our 7th period away. all of a sudden this HANDSOME namjah walks in. he was wearing shiny sunglasses and a white t-shirt. AAAA!!! hanuleh imnikka!! ^^ and then i realized something. good-looking was actually -------!! ...!! i nearly had a heart-attack! and then i did the only thing i COULD do at that moment... as soon as he went in the bathroom, i ran away and hid. alisha and stacey tried to drag me back in. jessica lam shook the finger of death at me. alisha even tried hiding my camera so that i couldn't leave until i talked to him. eh heh heh. i out-whined them all!! i win again!! ^^ anyway, if i HAD stayed where i was, my wonderful friends would have been stifling their giggles while i talked to him, so uhm... hiding was the best option.

alisha says i never sieze a good opportunity when it comes my way. she's right. i don't. depending on what she considers a "good opportunity." i don't want a boyfriend. i don't see the point. and if i did want a boyfriend, it wouldn't be ------- (chal saeng kyosso yo... and he IIISSS cute like dae ni ^^ buuut...) he's too uhm... how should i put this... WE HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON! that about sums it up. unlike most girls, when i like someone, it doesn't necessarily mean that i want to be their girlfriend. i just like to ogle them... ^_____________^

and speaking of CUTE...
i think my favorite senior boy is under the impression that MIALA likes him!! he keeps looking at her like she's FOLLOWING him or something. hee hee hee... it's too perfect!! and it completely shifts the suspicion away from me!! she's always poking me whenever we see him and trying to drag me over for a closer look... but it is all backfiring on her!! now it looks as if SHE is the one who likes him!! miala gets his weird looks and jessica gets none!! what luck! because *cough* i AAAMMM pretty obvious when you think about it. i'm surprised i haven't walked into a wall anytime he passes by.

jessica has a beeeegg poster of nam hyunjoon just waiting to get laminated and put on her wall. maybe jessica will ask elyse unnie to laminate something for her at spc. nevertheless, jessica is happy jessica.

i saw the most HAANNNDDSOME boy at pearlridge today!! he looked JUUUSST like hye sung oppa! i SWEAR!! i was gasping and pointing and alisha & miala thought i was dying or something. but SOOOOO handsome!! SO SO SO HANDSOME!! XD XD XD

my cds arrived yesterday!! *bounce bounce* ...i got home from band practice (which was actually very productive and not too boring) and THERE IT WAS! -- a big heavy box on my bed. Y-A-Y! *claps* ...i have 20-something cds to listen to now. i was getting really bored of the ones i had, so these arrived JUST IN TIME!! ^^

guess what? alisha, miala & i went to the football game. i really hate football. it's such a boring game. and i really like watching SOME sports... such as track. or swimming. something that isn't so slow-paced. you can always tell who's ahead at a track meet. and it doesn't take 3-4 hours for one race. i have a short attention span. anyhow, the game was not worth the stress i accumulated while getting myself lost on the freeway. i don't like driving. and i dislike NIGHT DRIVING even more. ahhh!! scary!!

i want my giant stuffed pika NOW!

song: baek jiyoung - "dash"

i got so much sleep. it's almost rediculous just HOW MUCH sleep i got! i fell asleep while i was perusing my econ packet... at 8 pm. i didn't wake up until 6 in the morning. that's a good 10 hours of sleep. i ALLLSO got so much EXCERCISE. it's almost even more rediculous than the sleep! i ran about 7 miles, swam a 600 & then walked the dog for another 3.5 miles. i have too much energy today. blame it on the bread pudding. yum.

personal reminders:
1. buy "heart of darkness"
2. re-read mankiw chap. 7
3. buy dominos
4. pack casuals for haley
5. call alish-o-saur
6. do resume
7. 5 shadows / 5 side-light portraits
8. human relations project
9. kira's birthday present

i need to list these things or else there is a 9/10 chance i will completely forget about all of them. i hate forgetting about things. or falling asleep before reading the portion of the handout that mecham decided to quiz us on.

alish-o-saur is finding fun new ways to harass me. now i have alisha & elyse picking on me on a regular basis. waaaahhhhh!!

ps: joon hyung oppa accepted sidus' proposal & G.O.D. is now full force once again ^^ ...chapter 4 is scheduled to be released in late october / early november. yay! *claps*

song: *none*

i am in a really REALLY bad mood right now. i just finished off two scoops of chocolate chip ice cream. rrrr. stupid, stupid me!! now i'm gonna have to run another 6.8 to balance it all out. i don't like leaving things unbalanced. i've been trying to figure out exactly WHY i'm hungry all of a sudden. i used to be able to eat my breakfast at 6, then make it through school till 7th period when i would eat lunch at ka'ahumanu. something is awry.

things that irritate jessica today:

1. too many people in house (aunty AND uncle)
2. everyone walks around talking to themselves.
3. stupid dog.
4. my cds have not arrived yet.
5. this sudden hunger thing.
6. ice cream.
7. i have NO IDEA how to organize my human relations project.
8. i am actually WORRIED about my grade for human relations.
9. i'm so obvious. SO obvious *smacks head*

there are some other things, but i've forgotten. generally i'm in a really BAD MOOD. there it goes again. my grandma is talking to that stupid little dog -- asking it questions and whatnot. to every man who has ever complained about his girlfriend/wife showering rediculous amounts of affection on her pet: i feel your pain. it's really degrading to realize that your own family pays more attention to a slobbering little animal than they do to you. and guess what? i get LECTURED for pushing the animal aside. "jessica, don't be MEAN." why does my mother defend a DOG, but refuses to defend ME when i ask her to? it's really annoying. i hope i marry a man who is allergic to animal fur.

i feel sick from ice cream. too...much... RRRR! there it goes again!! everyone's talking to the dog!! i hate you, you stupid little dog!

"howzit there guuuyyyy. ohhhhh... what's the MATTER, rocky? you can't find your ball? is that it? you can't find your ball? ohhhhh rocky. you can't find your ball! well here you go, here's your ball. ohhhhh... you want me to play ball with you? is that it? you want me to play ball? i already played ball with you today? *throws ball* funny guy!"

and i am quoting this word for word, i swear. it's rediculous. the more they talk to it, the more i hate it. it doesn't even TALK! i can understand talking to a small child because children will eventually learn how to speak. dogs WON'T. they will DIE before they ever advance enough to realize the connection between B-A-L-L and that small round object on the floor. they don't talk! they don't i tell you!! and all they do is slobber all day!

*sighs*

imma run off this rage now. bai bai!

terms for taxpayer assistance towards airline debts:

"First, any bailout should give the American taxpayers an equity stake in the carriers. This would dilute the stake of existing shareholders, but salvaging their investments should not be the purpose of taxpayer assistance. I don't want to nationalize the airlines. Any taxpayer stake should be sold in public markets when valuations recover.

Second, not one dime should go to the executives. They should agree, in accepting the bailout, to forgo any bonuses or salary increases for at least several years. If that caused some of these bozos to resign, all the better.

Third, governments should take over airline security. This doesn't mean saddling taxpayers with the entire cost. Passengers should pay through higher ticket prices, but the important thing is to get security out of the hands of companies that are plainly unwilling to do it right.

Fourth, the airlines should be required to meet specific levels of customer service. Among other things, they should tell customers the truth -- starting with an end to flagrantly deceptive advertising and misinformation about schedules and delays.

Fifth, there should be no more mergers and acquisitions in an industry that is close to being an oligopoly already."

- Dan Gillmor: Silliconvalley.com

united is down 48%. i still don't see the logic in letting go of your shares, but people are pretty dumb when it comes to tragedies.

Person 1: "Oh no! Terrorists are attacking us! It is now unsafe to travel outside of our homes! I am reconsidering my dentist appointment today. What if terrorists crash a passenger plane into the Mililani Safeway?"
Person 2: "Well I, for one, think we should all stop talking to people from the Middle East. They may be planning to plant bombs in our offices."
Person 1: "Good point... and while we're at it, let's sell all our airline shares. A highly intelligent terrorist group manipulated our own planes against us, so therefore we must blame the stewardesses."
Person 2: "Let's fire them!"
Person 1: "An excellent point! In fact, let's encourage all of our associates to withdraw their money from airline companies. That way we will ensure that they will all be destroyed through bankruptcy and we won't have to worry about firing the stewardesses."
Person 2: "And who cares if the majority of our country's economy is dependant on international trade? We will all just grow beans and corn and be a self-sufficient nation! Screw trade! Screw travel! We have beans and corn!"
Person 1: "My thoughts exactly! But let's return home before terrorists attack us."
Person 2: "You're right! I now have cause to be suspicious of Arabs, Jews, Communists, crippled old men with canes, and babies with unibrows. We must deport everyone with any hint of anti-American sentiment."

kristin is very in love with this boy from new york. i never would have thought that she would turn out to be such a romantic, but i guess you can never tell with some people. i'm just quirky. i like quirky guys. i'm probably going to meet the love of my life when he crashes into me and sends all of my books flying.

i know where i'm NOT going to school and that's Seattle University. small jesuit college. i don't think so. but there is a really cute filipino boy on the cover of the brochure (yahaeyo!! XD XD) ... nah, i'm definitely going to UW if i make it in. despite the fact that they do NOT have cute boys in their brochures *grumble grumble* ...

i was late to school AGAIN. at least i made it into homeroom w/o having to get a tardy slip. traffic is TERRIBLE. i don't usually get stressed out very easily, but i was practically hyperventilating on the way up the pali. i don't deal with traffic very well. and i do NOT like to be late. i'll bet every one of my Disney shares (HA HA) that i will get to school 20-30 minutes early tomorrow. any takers? *^^* ...well, tim was right. everyone's a winner... except ME... *grumble grumble* ...

How To Date a Capricorn Female

If you are dating a Capricorn female, take her to dinner at the best restaurant in town and arrive in a limousine with flowers. Dress in your designer clothes, and be impeccable. Pinstripes and subtle scents arouse her. Be successful at whatever you are undertaking. Let her know about it. It's okay to tell her you made two million last year. Don't be cheap. Tell her you have been saving yourself for the right woman, and that you have been working your buns off to build your empire.

Tell her you need someone to share this big business burden with, and that your thoughts are about expanding your business. Hint that a woman would be perfect as a manager in your new expansion. She will be so intrigued, that she will offer you sound business suggestions. She is SMART!

Capricorn females won't compete with you rather they'll help you climb the ladder. Don't forget about her. She loves expensive presents with thought behind them. Her little "black book" is filled with business appointments, not telephone numbers. Capricorn women are almost always successful in whatever they undertake. They don't take enough time to eat, so take her to lunch, dinner or your next corporate meeting. Business thrills them.

She may seem cold emotionally, but don't be fooled. She has sexual energies, looking for a release! She does not trust men entirely, so don't rush her, or you will be part of the homeless. She would be a great wife to a success-oriented man. She can entertain your clients and friends. Capricorn females can be boss in marriage too. Be prepared to be hen-pecked if you are thinking marriage!


LOL!! that's right, boys -- don't be cheap. and i DOOOO love pinstripes. i'm not so sure about this limo business, but a shiny copper Lexus will never hurt ^^

song: sung si kyoung - "nae gae o nun gil"


the real you

You've got great self-confidence and you're full of charm. Most guys who get to know you will be attracted to you. You are far from sweet and proper; your intriguing personality fascinates them. Most guys find it easy to fall for a girl like you.

You really care about other people's feelings and are quite serious about the issues that affect your life. You are sincere, and your concern for the well-being of others makes many people want to be your friend.

You strictly follow rules, and you expect other people to as well. People can get tired of you easily, as you can make them feel a little guilty about themselves. You always make decisions on your own, and can be dismissive of other people's advice. You like to be the leader in groups, but can forget to be concerned about the people you are with.

Your peers think of you as a fun person, but sometimes you can be a little irresponsible. You can be somewhat childish, and can try to ignore the fact that you will one day need to really grow up and be a mature adult! Perhaps you could start reading good books; they might help you look at the world in a different light. You do want to be taken seriously, right?

Friends of your gender find it hard to understand you because of your innocent thinking. But this is your advantage as it attracts members of the opposite sex who have the same personality as you.

Your boyfriend believes that you are a strong and independent person. Your confidence and cheerfulness make you an attractive person to be around, but sometimes you need to pay more attention to what other people, including your boyfriend, are thinking.


why do you love someone?

You think they are very smart one. You love their brain.


what are you most afraid of?

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

song: *none*

One man who works in San Francisco's 555 California building -- one of the city's tallest at 779 feet -- said his wife pointed out to him that his workplace could be viewed as a target because of the symbolic weight of its name -- the Bank of America tower.

"That made me a little queasy coming in to work," said the man, who did not want to give his name. "This, the Transamerica, maybe the Pacific Stock Exchange could be targets around here."

Peter Tsai, 23, works in the Transamerica Pyramid as an investment banker for Bank of America Securities.

"If it had happened in San Francisco, it would have happened here," he said, standing in the plaza outside the 853-foot-tall landmark. He said he realized the new dangers that people could face by working in such a recognizable structure, but "the thing is, it's needed for each city. This is part of the San Francisco skyline."

But what made the World Trade Center a target for terrorists was not the towers' heights, nor even the fact that they were instantly identified with New York, said Laurie Donohue, a fellow at Stanford's Center for International Security and Cooperation. The towers are recognized worldwide as a symbol of American financial dominance, and that's why they were picked instead of defense installations or key transportation routes, for example.

"There is cold, rational logic in that choice," she said. "Symbolism is everything in terrorism."

- Sue McAllister, Siliconvalley.com


nation-wide panic is definitely NOT going to benefit our already faltering economy. the dow was down BEFORE tuesday's attack and if consumer spending plummets, then the rest of the economy will suffer. there is a lot of talk about the airline industries... most of it negative. everyone seems to operate with the lingering thought that they might be in danger. the world trade center attack was a strategic manuever on an international symbol. to me, this was meant to gain attention worldwide. crashing a plane into Daie is certainly NOT going to cause such national uproar. i'm more than certain Daie will be safe for a long, long time.

song: kim hyunjung - "mung"

there's something really strange about today. i just can't put my finger on it. i woke up feeling DIFFERENT. i walked into my kitchen and proceeded to make breakfast, but everything STILL felt strange. after everyone left, i went running, which felt even MORE strange. this is really very puzzling. i look outside and the sky looks WHITE. not BLUE, WHITE. my daddy was in a really BAD MOOD because he agreed to take michio out this afternoon and when he stopped to think about it, he didn't really WANT to. now my daddy is RARELY EVER in a bad mood, so this is only contributing to the bizzare day. at least i'm not going to band ^^

i need to call ivy this weekend. i haven't seen my unnie for *counts fingers* ... two whole weeks!! aiya. i didn't want to ask too many questions about the new york incident b/c it's a very touchy subject w/some people, so i just asked if jeremy was okay. when it comes to things like this, i don't know how to act around anyone, because part of the world is in a state of panic, the other part is solemnly mourning, and i could either a)change the subject so that everyone can get on w/their lives and not dwell on this incident OR b)talk about their fears (which i'm not very good at) OR c)not say anything at all. a & b are iffy, so i just stick to c. it's always the safest route. but then again, people are like "how can you not think about this, you insensitive jerk!" and so then i'm a bad person all of a sudden. *sigh* ... people are too confusing.

when oh when is my rice going to be finished cooking? *drums fingers on table*

out of boredom, alisha & i have re-established the point system. it's really not a FAIR game since her opportunities outnumber mine (5:1 ???)... BUUUUUT... my single opportunity can win me 25 points each time (wo0o0o0o!!) while alisha's are worth anywhere from 10 points to a meager 1/2 point. my total for the day was uhm... 100. alisha had 123.5 if my memory serves me correctly...

tonight i went out to dinner w/alisha, miala & opu. the three of them ate at some italian restaurant across from starbucks while i waited for my chicken gon lo mein. we sat around eating and talking and then crossed over to the starbucks/jamba complex to accomodate miala's caramel frapp craving and my undying thirst. the cuuuutest two boys were sitting in jamba juice, drinking smoothies & studying XD XD ...one of them had --- -hair *swoon*... *cough* anyways... (a! a! unnie!! yumagoooo! dahk chuh!! i know what you're thinking... *chases elyse, shaking an angry fist in the air*) ...moving on... kailua town got tiring after about an hour, and we ended up going back to miala's house to play board games. i made the mistake of challenging oputastic, grand scrabble champ of games.com (level: orange!! o0Oo0O...). we kept trying to hint at a scrabble match... so, in order to appease whiny keopu and doubly whiny jessica, miala whipped out the scrabble board (*cheers* ^^)... it all started OUT well... i was ahead and all was good. but theeeeennn opu starts busting these 2-letter, 28-point, straight-from-the-periodic table... ahhhhh... it was OVER! O-V-E-R i tell you. she finished up w/123 points. a! a! i had a score of *mumble mumble* 85 *mumble mumble* ... oh the SHAME!! *shakes head*

i'm not going to band tomorrow. did you hear THAT, riggle? I'M NOT GOING TO BAND TOMORROW! hee hee XD XD XD ... we're going to the beach instead.

messages:

ivy --> you HAFTA dl yoo seungjun & yuki hsu - "can't wait"... really REALLY good song... AAAND seungjun raps all in english. yuki hsu sings in chinese, though, so i don't understand a SINGLE WORD she says. hee hee ^^

BAND HAS BEEN CANCELLED!
*roaring applause* i have reclaimed my weekend! i know riggle is planning to substitute an all-day practice instead of the parade (which administration has labeled unproper to conduct during this "time of mourning")... buuuut... my daddy already has a plan. first he will tell riggle that we have a church memorial service to attend. then, to top it all off, he is going to complain that having a band practice defeats the entire idea of setting the weekend aside for memorial purposes. which it DOES. but anyhow, I AM FREE!!! the world is a happy happy place! ^____________^

EVERYONE'S A WINNER!
every member is vp of the economics club. it was patrick's idea (which he frequently acknowledges) so that we can all put down "vice president of economics club" on our college transcripts. mr mecham appointed me, alisha & 3 other girls "vice president of the economics booth at the senior social on september 28th" LOL ^^ ...the 5 of us are going to head the selling booth at the social. we've ensured that there is a shortage. maybe it will create more demand. we have also decided that we will NOT be lowering our prices as the day comes to an end. therefore, all those scrubs that anticipate a drop in prices during the last moments of the social will walk away with NOTHING!! bwahaha! XD i've appointed alisha vice president of checking out ------ ^^ ...she is pleased with her position.

NO JOON HYUNG, NO G.O.D.
danny, ho young, kye sang & tae woo have informed the public that they will not contine as G.O.D. without park joon hyung.

(trans)“We won’t go on as a 4 member group without Park Joon Hyung. We are also against the idea of a new member.”(/trans)

joon hyung finally spoke out about the decision and admitted to being 31 ... O_o ... omanah. *cough cough* the fans are being very loyal throughout this entire ordeal and have decided to form a boycott against sidus and its products. i just love gayo fans! always so true to the gasoos!! ^^ it just melts my heart! and all the G.O.D. oppa deuls standing up for their joonie!! hee hee! danny oppa, you make me sooo proud!!

but i DO understand the dilemma here. korean entertainers are not as *cough cough* SCANDELOUS as american entertainers and they are supposed to keep their relationships secret. also, there is a lot of talk about joon hyung and han go eun's public display of affection -- something which is very common in the states (*cough cough*) but not so much in korea. i know han go eun's mother does not approve of the couple holding hands and kissing in public.

btw, why are all the best gasoos 22 years old??

the dance was cancelled!! aigo... there are a lot of angry people out there. there are also a lot of angry people looking for that freshman girl everyone keeps talking about. apparantly she's conceited and racist and picked the wrong senior guy to reject b/c now all of his friends have told everyone about her. i got off the bus after 4th period and i see ALL OF KONIA crowded with upperclassmen who are looking to see who this girl IS. even ms osserman was standing in the halls with her class and they were all very angry-looking. this girl has succeeded in winning the hatred of the entire student body. buuuuut, she is also now the most popular person in school. she must have come up in at least one conversation in each class. my logic tells me that if this girl is out to get attention, the whole school has just handed it to her on a silver platter. if everyone just ignores her, then we succeed in crushing her ego.

common sense: reliable resource or a complete fabrication?...
kristin and i were having this very long debate, sparked by mr mecham's wisdom, over the existance of common sense. kristin believes that there are actually instances in which there IS such a thing as common sense -- an inborn knowledge which every human has the ability to access. i, on the other hand, am of the opinion that common sense is nothing but a term used by more intelligent individuals in order to belittle those beneath them. first of all, it has been established that each person has a different perception of "common sense." while i may believe that the grammatical difference between "your" and "you're" is COMPLETE AND UTTER COMMON SENSE, a less...um...a dumber person will say "i don't know the difference!" and i will say "well you have no common sense." of course, the use of the first word 'common,' would imply that this knowledge is present in the majority of individuals. and at what age does "common sense" begin? many people would argue that it is common sense not hold one's hand over a large flame. children, however, have a tendency to play with matches and wind up burning themselves in the process. do all children have no common sense? no. they just haven't learned that fire is very painful. they will learn this later. hopefully. my point is that the term "common sense" was not created to encompass each individual perception of "common sense" -- skewed or not -- and therefore, there is really NO SUCH THING as common sense because its implications are so vague that one cannot pinpoint the exact set of ideas which it is meant to include.

i've finally found a good RECENT picture of chris kim *drool* sekushii, ne??

song: untitle - "chek im juh"

what a lovely day. as soon as i walked in the door, the man up at Saigon Noodle House greeted me with "hi jessica!" i love nice people like that. it just makes me feel really GOOD, y'know?

and guess what? I JOINED ECONOMICS CLUB TODAY!! hee hee ^^ i be such a dork! alisha and kristin also joined, so i have company! what can i say? i love econ. it's as simple as that. i am happy with my PPFs and supply & demand curves, and alisha is happy with ------ sitting at the front of the room. it's a WIN-WIN SITUATION!! ^________^

i'm considering joining speech & debate team. nick is trying to lure me into the vast realm of public speaking. i'm thinking oratory. but i'm kinda IFFY right now. i'm not so sure that i want to spend that much time on... uhm... anything. band is easy enough to get out of. i don't like it, so i don't feel bad. but speech is something i'd be joining because i LIKE it, so i think i'd have to go to every meeting. AIYA. i'm in such a dilemma. what do i dooooo?!?

oh, LOL, btw i was thisclose to quitting band today. first riggle yells at me in front of the entire band and guard to take off my backpack (??). i don't understand. we don't do backscratches in PARADE ROUTINE -- something he should KNOW if he paid ANY ATTENTION to the flag line. then aris comes over and starts to get angry and frustrated b/c we don't all know the routine. of course, if riggle didn't wait until uhm, let's see... YESTERDAY to pick his letter line, we wouldn't be stuck having to teach the routine to the rejects. and he hadn't informed us that the band is only playing "aloha oe," so we only had routines for "thor" and "kamehameha march." and on top of it ALL, we have a SECTIONAL tomorrow afternoon. i am not going. i wanted to quit right there. in fact, i was about to until i realized that i'd need to find 2 more credits to replace band. all the decent classes are full up by now and i can't just walk into american law, second month of school, and expect to catch up. so i'm still stuck in band.

i <3 my danny!! *hugs ahn shin won* G.O.D. was in shock when they heard the news of joon hyung's release. they are rumored to be hiding in secret somewhere in order to recover from the news and decide upon a course of action. oh & btw, the release of G.O.D. 4 has been delayed at least a month as a result!! ...!!

song: shinhwa - "eusha! eusha!"

i wake up this morning and the world trade center is on fire. not your typical "good morning." i hate to say it, but i was kind of relieved. when i noticed that my whole family was crowded in front of the tv, i thought something really BAD was happening -- maybe a dormant volcano was erupting. something that would disrupt daily life. and i hate to say it, but the pentagon being burnt to the ground didn't stop me from making breakfast, brushing my teeth, or taking the time to put up my hair.

the way i see it, terrorism is meant to inspire fear and disrupt the daily lives of its victims (in this case, "victims" would refer to the country as a whole). sooo... if we do absolutely NOTHING, then we win, they lose. easy enough. let's just do NOTHING. unless you've lost someone in the accident or your job is in jeapordy, you have no reason to go running around like a chicken with its head cut off. THIS IS NOT WWIII. my entire human relations class seems to think we're doomed. we are NOT DOOMED. not unless our stupid government decides to get vengeful. like i said, going about our daily lives is the best remedy. the fact that we are stopping classes to discuss this insult to our country is just a small sign that we are a weak society that is already succumbing to terrorism. if we allow this to disrupt our everyday lives and send our nation into a mindless PANIC, the terrorism has worked its magic. ...also, there are already kids at school who are saying "let's blow them up!!" yes! good idea! let's antagonize a group of individuals who already posess the capability of destroying one of the world's largest buildings!! if you are losing sleep over this war business, it would make absolutely no sense to be supporting reliatory measures. but this is just my pov.

i understand that this is a big tragedy -- lives were lost. but why is it that THESE PARTICULAR lives seem to be more important than all the others that were lost by other unfortunate means? everyone who is glued to their tv sets is moping about the poor people who died in the incident, but PEOPLE DIE EVERYDAY. i would think that those individuals ALSO deserve some sympathy. dying is dying. it's unfair when ANYONE goes before their time. this country should stop using the excuse of "those poor people" to boost its moral image. we all know what the main issue is. panic. everyone's afraid. everyone will say "it's such a horrible loss"; what they really mean is "what if i'm next?" not to jinx what's left of our overall sense of security, but i, personally, am not worried about anything. as long as the government doesn't go and do something STUPID, we're fine. i'm content going about my business until that day comes.

...as long as ivy's brother is okay. i hope they got word from him so that her family isn't worrying too much.

but enough of the politics!

i was LATE to school...AGAIN. there was a WHOLE LOT of traffic at the bottom of the pali. my fault though. i left 10 minutes later than usual *sigh* ... then we had a hour-long homeroom that lasted FOREVER and EVER. i drew hye sung out of boredom. and i was FINALLY able to draw his pretty eyes!! *^^* english was a wasted period. chris didn't read "my oedipus complex" (babo ah ee!!) so he tried to stall for time by calling for a discussion on the morning's events. then i had to listen to all of it AGAIN in human relations since ms harris lost her voice. another wasted period. i drew kangta and practiced my hangul. jenna kept saying "we're doomed! we're gonna DIE! it's WORLD WAR III!" (dahk chuh!! *mumble mumble* nabbum yojah...) psych story was practically the only class i had all day that resumed all normal activities. we had to present our 'parents' ... i introduced the class to my dad (a pink floppy hat) -- he is safe and protects me from EVERYTHING (just as a hat protects one from the sun, rain, wind, etc). we had NO BAND! *cheers* i went to econ early and drew ahn danny. i'm always hanging out in ko113. what a dork i am! econ was great! mecham didn't even turn the tv ON. now THAT is a return to normalcy. we did our presentations during class. nick and i were pretty annoyed with our group. they didn't prepare ANYTHING. at least WE knew what we were talking about! (micah did too, but he doesn't articulate too well iykwim. not his fault.) if they had wanted to be lazy, they should have just TOLD me so and i would have prepared them dialogues!! rrrr... digital photography was the usual. photo alterations using photoshop. i <3 photoshop... but $650?!? i'm afraid NOT. anyhow, i finished early so i practiced my hangul.

now here are the really GOOD PARTS of the day:

1. geri ajumma made MORE bread pudding (mmm ^^)
2. the wonderful lady that owns yami sushi gave me korean tea with my inari
3. i <3 all of shinhwa 1
4. hi-net is downloading fast tonight
5. NO HOMEWORK! *cheers*
6. omma just handed me $35

the only bad thing: no music bank tonight T_________T ...at least i have plenty of "dong guh dong rak" and power video to last me for awhile.

song: oppa - "heaven song"

omanah!! park joon hyung has been kicked out of G.O.D.!!! this is a VERY VERY BAD THING!! i know joon hyung wasn't my FAVORITE member of the group *cough* (i recall saying he did not contribute at ALL to the group's "aesthetic value"... iykwim...), but G.O.D. won't be the same w/o him!! and he IIISSS ahn danny's cousin and all, so um... i must respect my future in-laws ^^ anyhow, sidus got fed up when joon's relationship with han go eun interfered with his work for the group, so yesterday the label announced its decision to kick joon out of G.O.D. now there is a lot of speculation as to whether or not G.O.D. will break up after their 4th album (G.O.D. yongwonhee saranghaeyo!!! *sob* T______T) if they choose to stay together, they have two options: 1)remain a 4 member group, 2)add a new member to replace joon hyung. there is also a lot of talk of kim sun ah joining and making G.O.D. into a co-ed group (aniyo!!! aniyo!!! aniyo!!! *shakes head*). jessica has a "thing" against co-ed groups. i like s#arp and all (and we all know why... chris kim jjang!! ^^), but for the most part... and without joon, who will do the english rap? danny? (hae bi en du issoyo??? ung won hae yo!!! *claps* ahn shin won oppa hae nung isso yo!! ^^ haha!! chal han dah!! and if anyone can solo career, we know it's dae-ni!! *hugs*) but as for this whole scandal, i say joon hyung oppa should just get on with his life (well he iiiissss 32, you know...) and, um... not persue a solo career. ani. definitely not.

anyhow, i will try to move on from this subject...

human relations is full of you-know-what. just like psych story. they come up with all of these stereotypes of what a proper, balanced human should act and feel like, and then they teach it to us , expecting us to grow up "right." today in human relations, the subject of "walking in on your parents" came up (iykwim...) and everyone seemed to have experienced this (or at least HEARD them). and then there's me. i'm just sitting there all uncomfortable in a corner like "um...i've never even seen my parents KISS, let alone [*cough*] anything else..." so i was asking ms harris what's so WRONG about being clueless about this stuff. i don't think that all of um...THAT... is especially necessary to a relationship. think about this: are you happy now? and you don't get any, right? (if you do, then you don't count) so why is it so necessary? you're happy w/o it. and being happy is what counts, right? and as for this "necessary for a healthy relationship" stuff, consider this: do you fool around with all your friends? do you fool around with your parents? (i really REALLY hope not) and those relationships are all strong, right? well then WHY IS IT SO NECESSARY?? having children is ONE thing, but nowadays all of the "experts" like to say that sex on a regular basis is vital to a "normal, healthy relationship." i still don't understand why. i always thought that relationships were all about having someone to rely on, but i guess i'm wrong.

lol. today letter girl tryouts were held down at keku (i'm not going on the trip, so trying out would be useless). while us PARADE FLAGS were practicing up at the band room, i told lahela that when the letter line rejects come back to us, we should say "i'm sorry, but we already held flag tryouts on monday. we can't let just ANYONE be a PARADE FLAG. it's an exclusive, hand-picked flag line. try the band. i'm sure they have an opening." and we will too. hee hee ^^

that reminds me... all of this room-switching business makes me very very HAPPY that i am NOT going on that trip. i didn't like our room assignments to begin with. elyse, kira & i had originally been planning to room together, but this 4-person rule spoiled it all. and on top of that, kira signed up to room w/keriann, so elyse & i were left on our own. as i later found out, kira wanted elyse & i to room with THEM, but lahela had already managed her way into their group. kira is angry about this. megan, kat, jenna, chantelle & ... [am i forgetting anyone?] are ALSO trying to avoid having lahela in their group. however, when she ended up rooming w/keri & kira, that meant she would be in megan's tour group. an unhappy megan changed the room assignments so that elyse is in their group instead. lahela is not happy about this. lahela told one of the aunties. elyse thinks she is going to have to room w/freshmen or sophomores. this is not true. lahela tells me that SHE is rooming w/sophomores and elyse has the spot in the room. and what is the moral of the story? jessica is glad to not be going on this band trip. just look, the conflicts have already begun! it's going to get ugly.

song: *watching* KBS Power Video 08/12/01 */watching*

i know this is a really boring layout, but it's the best i can come up with using only tables. tables are hard.

i fell asleep at 1 o'clock while hi-net downloads the episode of Power Video where Shinhwa are moms (the dongwan, eric & hyesung one). so far i only watched the first 10 minutes with moon child. and they DON'T look like little elves all the time!! there's this really funny part where this girl is trying to teach them to swim (note: they are standing in the most shallow end of the pool). one of the boys couldn't even kick right, so she had to grab his feet and move them FOR him "hana, dul, hana, dul, hana, dul..." ... then they tried actually leaving the wall o_O ... "hana, dul, sae... PA! hana, dul, sae... PA!" hee hee hee... she finally had to grab them by the hair and hold their heads above water everytime they took a breath ^^ ...it was really funny. REALLY funny.

i hate my internet service provider (*coughcoughMSNcoughcough*)... it keeps cutting me off after about 7 hours and THAT means that if i want to download something HUGE, well... i CAN'T. so i can get only about 52 minutes of each program whenever i download. rrrrr.

boring, boring, boring. i'm waiting for the jungle adventures to finish. there seem to be lots of snakes. boring, boring. get on with show!!! i think each segment is 15 minutes long, so hopefully shinhwa isn't in the LAST 15 minutes (which my computer cut off. rrrr. PAH!!!!!!!) ... yah yah yah boring boring. hurry up!! ...

ahhhhhhhhh! ahhh! ... TOO LONG!!!

aigo!!! annnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiyo!!! it just HAD to cut off RIGHT in the middle of the best part, didn't it!!! rrrrrrrrr!!! T.T *sob* now i'm going to have to download the WHOLE thing (150 mb approx) ALL OVER AGAIN!!! T.T ... rr rrr rrr

owie tummy ache. bye.

song: yoo seungjun + yuki - "can't wait" (MV)

today i got my dvd player ^^ ... $160 Toshiba from Sears... yay! ...but then while i was trying to set it up, i realized that my ghetto tv has NO inputs. NONE! the back is completely flat except for the cable antennae input. so... T.T ... no dvd for jessica. i told daddy to return it tomorrow and get my $$ back. if i kept it, i'd have to buy a new tv and i don't even LIKE tv that much, so i figure i'll just wait and watch dvd on my laptop.

seungjun looks old school p-diddy in that blue shiny jumpsuit. he raps so much better than puffy, though. btw, you can tell whenever a fat guy raps. they have some distinct fat guy voice. no kidding, you know! just listen to biggie and um... i forgot who else, but i know there are a few. i can just hear a song off the radio and say "hey! that guy's GOTTA be fat! just listen to his voice!" ... *cough* anyway, moving on...

sabina ajumma says my writing is very very good! ^_________^ ...she said i write nicer than her nampyun!! ^^ now if only all of my grammar could be just as good!! sabina ajumma was asking me if i have korean boyfriend yet... *blushes* ...no, not yeeeettt... *taps foot impatiently*... ahem ahem ahn shin won oppa... *^^* grace ajumma also came over and said that i should go to seoul next year to learn, so i will probably do that. anyway, we just stood around and talked about new dramas and good cds while i was waiting for daddy to get his paycheck and stop playing jokes on people!

i think during spring break i'm going up to washington to see if i like it there. daddy's trying to scare me by saying that i won't get any sushi or curry when i'm at college and i'm going to have to live off of packaged ramen and chajang myon. he's still trying to get me to stay at UH *shakes head*... when will he ever learn...

ooo... sore... >_________< i wanted something sweet so i ate a scoop of ice cream & two oatmeal cookies and now i feel like exploding into many many pieces. but on a happier side, i was sitting at the curry house in makai market and then some girl sits down on the counter next to me. i thought she was pretty rude because my dad was just standing there about to sit down and she came and stole the seat. anyway, i kept eating my curry but then i was like "hmm this girl looks a lot like jenna rae..." so then i turn to my left and kira is there grinning at me and then jenna rae is on my right and we all start laughing and the cute boy behind the counter is confused. lol!

i had my drawing analyzed in psych story. i drew kangta because he is the easiest for me to draw with his floppy hair and all. this is one of the pictures from "Iyah!" 4 album. anyways, here are the results:

large head = uses fantasy & intellect to escape reality
cartoon = doesn't take self seriously
exhibitionistic; anger
feels emotionally unbalanced
orally fixated
high stress
left side of page = influenced by past & emotions
yell for help (?)
obsessive-compulsive
anger
suit = ambition

i think most of the informations is quite accurate. except that yell for help one. i think that's quite a generic assumption when someone draws an open mouth. mr cowan also didn't know that i drew a boy. so then he had to add some things afterwards. the fact that i chose to draw a boy means either/& 1) close realtionship with father / 2) competetive with males / 3) gets along better with males. he said i probably think that half of the boys in this class are stupid (which i do!) and the fact that i drew a childish-looking boy means that i am drawn to this type because they are innocent and not threatening. pretty on it, huh? fyi, if any of my friends want a drawing analyzed, then draw a person (whatever comes to mind first) on a piece of paper and write whether you are a male or female in the top right-hand corner and then mr cowan will analyze for you.

i now have lots of old sechskies mv's thanks to visual.azn ... i've been watching "nu ril bo nae myuh" and i notice that jiyoung is handsomer than i already thought (which is like saying very handsome and now + even more handsome)... i really like boys in glasses. really. REALLY really. i am in love with jiyoung until dae-ni comes out with a new album already because i am WAITING and WAITING and no album yet ... T__________T

i am almost INTERESTED to see what the mv for "jumpo mambo" looks like. i actually really like that song now. i know! i know! jessica eun babo, ne? ahhhhhhhhh! all the boys who review cds complain about cool 6ix saying that it is "too happy." you will be interested to know that i am buying that cd as soon as i get my money from returning the dvd player. yes, yes, i know this will lead to my eventual downfall, but i can't resist ... *sings* gah dee sahp si dah sara bohp si dah... */sings*

song: *singing* kim won jun - "na ee" */singing*

i really REALLY haven't blogged for awhile, huh? the scribble.nu servers have been down, so i've decided to switch to pitas. scribble is quite the unreliable server, huh? ... >________< ... ooo and i've really REEEEALLY been wanting to blog lately, too!!! rrrr...

last night i downloaded Hi-Net, which is a program that records (downloads) streaming videos for those of us who have *cough* less than impressive download rates. jessica is VERRRRRY happy right now!! ^___________^ i can download videos from KBS's site -- FINALLY!! i just dl-ed "guh ji mal" and "ni gah pilyoh hae" after reading about a dozen G.O.D. articles from the new and improved soompi.com. danny oppa is so cuuuute!! dae: "dae ni oppa ga sarang ha neun saram ee noo goo ae yo?" ni: "... juh yo?" ^^ ... LOL! (that was danny's '3 heng shi' from the 10/00 issue of Teen Star *^^*)

anyhow, i think i've been sitting around watching videos too long... speaking of videos..!! ...!! i'm going to buy my DVD player tomorrow morning *bounce bounce* ... of course i don't own any DVDs, so this might be a problem. i'll have to wait at least a week or two to get "ga eul dong hwa." i really REALLY REALLY want to see "yupgi chok een gu nyuh" ... i keep reading so much about it -- all the publicity is starting to hook me. so there. advertising IS an effective way to create demand!

look look! it's the many silly faces of ji young (courtesy: sechskies "couple" MV) that's a great jekki video because it has a lot of great shots of each of the boys... except poor hoonie oppa. he looks so handsome now!! i like his hair better NOW than it was before. but ji young oppa ALWAYS looked handsome. yes, even with the dorky mong chong glasses in this video *^^* ...

i'm too lazy to scribble, so i'll just post everything in this blog until i DO feel un-lazy enough to scribble. AAAND until scribble fixes their servers.

i got out of going on the band trip!! *standing ovation* i'm sooo HAPPY! i really did NOT want to go on that trip. and more importantly, i really do NOT want to have any more band than i have to. i wish i could quit, but i'm sure the 4 years will look pretty good on my transcript. btw, i sent away for my college apps already: (fyi) UW, western washington U, U of oregon & oregon state. i'm also applying to UH just to be safe. i'm trying to get all of this over and done with so that the rest of my year is happy and stress free. unless my poor danny keeps getting skinnier. i am worried about that a bit. ho young compared him to a strawberry, saying he is (transl) "soft and weak, just like the strawberry that gets bruised easily" (/transl) T.T ...poor shin won oppa!! i will take care of you! he is also the mom of G.O.D. because he takes care of all of the other members and makes sure nothing happens to them *^_________^* ... ahhhhhhh!! fyi, chapter 4 should be coming out next month during which time G.O.D. will most likely be performing on music bank (if i am lucky!) and taking over magazine covers. and also during which time jessica will be on a happy rampage ^^ ... look out!!
