Day 3
10:00 Cereal for breakfast
12:15 2 slices of apples
01:30 Half of a burrito
05:30 Second half of my burrito and 3 slices of apples
06:15 Milk with banana before land practice
08:45 Milk with frosted flakes and 4 chocolate coated gummi bears :D
Hmm... a day with lots of carbs.
Tomorrow will be veggie day.

Day 2
Today was a stressful day with all the studying and catching up on Econ that I had to do, and I guess that led to more spontaneous cravings than I've ever suffered this entire week.
11:50 Cereal for breakfast
01:37 Crackers and OJ
02:40 Leftover Goody's from yesterday- 1/2 a burrito
04:50 1/4 of an apple & 2 oreos
07:30 Half of a 2 entree Panda Express box--really wanting that noodles and broccoli :''(
09: 40 Milk tea with aloe that was given to me for free...gah
11:00 The other half of Panda
The two hour food craving trend is still more or less there, but I guess stress increased the quantity of food that I ate throughout the day.
Note to self: procrastination leads stress which leads to higher tendency to splurge on junk food--so don't do.

Of Food & Me
Over the past couple of days I've realized that once I start eating something it seems really hard to stop. It seems like I'm constantly munching on something-apples, bananas, milk & cereal, cranberries, or any little thing that I can find in my room.
That, is not good.
So Today I decided to write down the things I've eaten and when I ate them.
10:30 Bowl of cereal & milk
12:15 Brown rice w/ kimchi, soybean sprouts and seasoned dried octopus
02:10 Handful of cranberries
(4:55 Wanted food but decided to wait it out by visiting Jon in Muir tioga 10th floor)
06:00 Half a burrito from goody's, an Oreo and a kiwi
08:45 Milkshake. kill.
There seems to be a trend-that my body has the urge to eat something every two hours. It's almost like an internal clock. Sometimes I'm not even hungry.
I read from a news article that the body craves whatever it's been getting, so I guess from now on I'll pay more attention to my eating habits.

February 14.
It's a day that most girls look forward to; a day that can mark either a happy start or yet another lonely year.
This year, however, is different-at least, for us Chinese people, for me.
It is also Chinese New Year.
Quite coincidental, I think.
This year is the first time ever in my life that I'm not with my family during this important Chinese holiday. A step towards independent adulthood? Probably.
In celebration of this holiday, my dear dear dragonboat teammates put together a hotpot session at one of their houses. It was delightful, being able to spend time with my other family. It's definitely a different experience. Thanks for hosting it, Angela & Eileen. :3
[The girly part of me isn't ready to let go of that three years of hoping...
...but it's a New Year. Let's start anew, and let things flow as it may.
Bring it on. I'm ready. ]

Long ago
in the midst of a group short of my kind
a hand reached out to me
and told me to be strong.
Many years have since passed
and the same hand was found
its touch so foreign yet so familiar
so much that has yet to be felt
the feelings within me intensifies
I don't know why.
But I know it's not supposed to be
so after these long and agonizing and crushing years
I think it's time.
It's a New Year.
Maybe one day I will find the courage.
Je t’adore [021410]

ILML: SOUP
Sandy made me soup on sunday, but I didn't drink it until today.
Soup was super delicious, reminiscent of what my mom used to make when I was back at home.
Now I'm super content. MEOW. *purrrr*

ILML: Night of Ice Cream Goodness
It was a whimsical decision, a very bad one.
After the Beatle's midterm, Chase and I went to the library in hopes of getting some work done. However, it turned out that we did exactly the opposite. Kind of.
On a whim we both decided that it was a good idea to bake some brownies and dump some x tubs of ice cream on it. Sounds YUMS, right? Well, as it turned out, it was. Totally satisfying.
We called up the on campus kids, and BONDED (as Chase called it) over the brownies and ice cream goodness. It was a very pleasant distraction from all the stress and emotional downs and confusion that I've been feeling. I don't think I've laughed as much as tonight in a while. At the same time, I learned so much more about each and every one of my teammates who showed up. I'm a step closer to knowing them, and the time we shared was just priceless.
Even though I did stay up until 4 to finish my essay (yet again), I feel like this little diversion was exactly what I needed. Sometimes, I guess, we all need those moments to just need to relax and forget our duties, responsibilities, and the stressful from the busy world that we live in. We all need that mini vacation to remember that we're alive, and to once again embrace life's beauty.
After all the sweets, I feel mentally refreshed, and ready to tackle whatever comes my way tomorrow...
(...even though I really need to go work those brownies and ice cream off now. :D)

ILML: Girls Night Out
I've almost forgotten how it feels like to hang out with just girls. Heck, I've almost forgotten how to behave like a girly girl. I'm so used to the being around guys from dragonboat that I have no problem with discussing how hot a girl looks. When I hear "Dude that girl's hot!" the first reaction I have is "go tap that."
GAH. How horrible.
After being surrounded by so much testosterone macho masculine manliness, I guess every girl needs a break. And tonight was exactly that--a detour from all that masculinity on db. It brought back pleasant memories of hanging out with my beloved girls back in high school.
No, we did not sit around and talk about guys and feelings and crushes, but I really enjoyed our pho and chick flick combo. It was very enjoyable.
Thank you Michelle, for making it happen.

ILML: A Tub of Pure Happiness
It was just another ordinary Monday. Class, work work work nap then class then homework homework homework until 4am.
Or so that was until this little piece of heaven fell into my hands.
Yup, Haagen Dazs Ice Cream. Strawberry. YUMS.
Creamy with bits of frozen strawberries mixed in between, mmmm, truly dericious. :D Although, for some reason, I thought it tasted sweeter than I remember...:/ Maybe it was because I haven't had ice cream in so long...
Regardless, THANK YOU for the very pleasant surprise. It totally made my night. :D
