OH SNAP WHO THE FUCK BOUGHT A USED MURAMASA OVER THE WEEKEND? MEEEEEE.

SO! Cause my boyfriend REALLY wanted a wii, we got one. On Black Friday. There weren't any good deals, and we got a better deal at Best Buy. We decided to get a new Wii, since I have had SHIT LUCK with used Nintendo DS lately.

1) My first DS got a broken hinge. (I blame my younger cousins) And the touch screen was wonky. My bf replaced the DS case like new. The touch screen was okay, since I play games that don't really require it. Then the top screen went bad. I'm sure you remember that. BF and I tried fixing it, but hte generic case we had would not fit back together. Thus, all the parts and etc.

2) Got a used DS on ebay. e_e it worked PERFECTLY. and now it just randomly shuts off. So I guess I can TRY to fix it with all the parts I have off the broken DS I got.

So anyway. Wii recs.

I NEED WII RECS!!111

BTW, because GameStop had their BUY 2 GET 1 FREE on used games and accessories... I bought a few things already. I have 2 wii motes, 2 nunchuks.

BTW, I am still looking for good deals on games. I have not been able to find good deals on these games. (My boyfriend has that Edge card that GameStop has, so we will try to save on used)

I ALREADY BOUGHT
PunchOut!
Muramasa

I know I will buy (eventually)
- Zelda Twilight Princess (I ALREADY HAVE A GAMECUBE -- CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF IT IS BETTER ON THE WII OR GC?)
- New Super Mario Bros Wii
- MAYBE FIRE EMBLEM RADIANT DAWN?!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALP

GRAAAAAGH.

I'm pretty stupid I know. So I wanted to take a year off from school, right? Well, I'm already bored (which usually happens when summer ends anyway) and I STILL have no job. No surprise right? I'm lucky in that I can blame the economy for the state that it's in.

But then, it was rather stupid of me to think I could get a job straight out of college. And a science job no less. Still, the science jobs I see require EXPERIENCE, EXPERIENCE, EXPERIENCE. I'm sorry, but most schools don't have science as their majority school (at least here for me) and if they did, there aren't lots of kids getting into some professor's research lab.

And I did try, trust me. I tried the ochem research lab, only to find out I didn't have the lab requirement. Geez. It was a miscommunication on both our parts anyway. Most of the bio teachers? Already full, locked and loaded. I don't want to go into research.

Weird huh? A science major not wanting to go into research. It kind of sucks, since you're expected to, but I'd rather be working with practical biotech routines or actually working in the hospital. I don't exactly have the time or money to be going into research.

What sucks is that while I know not all majors work this way, but in science, you have to work with the professor and whatever they're working on. If you don't like it, it's.... not even worth it. I like biology, and biochemistry. I do love my majors. But I want to be practical, and I don't want to be researching right now. I want to get into the lab and do it and get paid for it. I know I have no experience, but I have to get something from somewhere.

And yes, I was still working my two part time jobs that really made one full time job while going to school and taking 15+ units, INCLUDING LAB(S), which is why I had no real time for an internship or any of that.

XD I'm pretty sure most would agree with me that MONEY NOW >>>> MONEY LATER.

I know I screwed myself in the job market with no experience and having no research, but most jobs seem to be asking for all that experience for a freakin' entry level job. I was lucky to get even two interviews with ThermoFisher, but that's cause I had a sekrit hook up. And even then, I didn't get the jobs. Ah well. What can you do? I can't just give up the job search.

Now I think I'll just take any job since I declined the financial aid, thinking I was eventually gonna get a job. I'm just so tired of not having a job and being productive. I've been a lush for the longest time. Also, I think due to the fact that the economy made the science/tech jobs go "Oh I think I'd rather hire the guy who retired early and now wants a job back so I don't have to train them" hire the trained guys who don't need to be paid as much. Who wants new trainees now? Everyone would rather go for experience and I don't blame them. I do wish I could catch a break though.

So guess what? So while job searching and talking with a friend, Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS) came up. Lots of jobs I came over were looking for that.

So it's been about a week, and I'm tired of emailing the damn CLS programs at the universities I want to take the program at. (I'm looking at SJ and SF)

>_- It would really help if they would freakin' put up correct and complete information. It's so hard to plan more than a year ahead of my life, especially with so many things in the air. -_- I need a job, I need money, I need to learn how to drive...

I just hate being unproductive and shit. I really want to go back to school, but what can I do?

So catching up with PoT...

( Spoilers for PoT manga chapters after Rikkai arc! )

I love Fuji. And Atobe.

So on a whim, I've decided to get back into Prince of tennis.

I watched the first anime series, and I haven't seen the Nationals one yet. I'm kind of scared because we all know what will happen with ANYONE who comes across Ryoma. I hate Ryoma now just because he wins like, EVERYTHING.

So he's quite boring. And I heard the spoiler at the end too. I expected it, but STILL. UGH.

I guess I don't like Ryoma cause he wins everything, doesn't grow, and he steals like everyone's moves. Not cool. He's like a GODMOD.

That's why I liked the whole Senbatsu Nations Jr Tennis arc thing from the anime. XD Ryoma got to play, yet he was humbled. I don't mind Ryoma if he does't WIN or get what he wants or STEALS TECHNIQUES all the damn time.

I came back for Fuji, naturally. <3

Now I have to read through the manga. I only went to the manga briefly since the anime ended and so I started on the Rikkai vs. Seigaku arc since the Fuji vs. Kirihara match was UNPRECEDENTED. I thought they couldn't do better than in the anime! I was wrong.

I still dislike Ryoma though.

Anyway, I remember reading up to Fuji's 4th counter and when they explained it, it was uh..... XD

yeah I didn't like that explanation and I stopped reading it.

Now to get back into it. Time to read Ryoma vs. Sanada! And re-read up to the last chapter!

So what's up with this Shin TeniPuri business?

brightredglow's fault. OMFG.

XD When I read your post, I was like, SOMEONE CLOSE EITHER DIES OR BETRAYS ME.

OMG. STILL SURPRISING DESPITE I'M THE MASTER OF GUESSING THIS STUFF EVEN IF I DID GET IT RIGHT!

OGMOGJOMGWORJTWKLEJTKLWEJT:KLEJT

I have to say I've always been a fan of Jon and Kate Plus 8. I liked it and followed it pretty closely until season 4ish and I even have my favorite among the kids. :) It was a good show.

Like most I've followed the tabloid stories and paparazzi stories surrounding both Jon and Kate after season 4 AKA when the divorce tabloids started going. Since then, I haven't really watched the show since the heart-warming factor is gone.

Now for this Team Kate or Team Jon (or lack there of) business. I'm trying to get more of an objective view, because none of us truly know what's going on in their lives. Before, the tabloid coverage would slather both parents in a bad light, but now they seem to be focusing on Jon. Personally, I'm not on either side, but I'm a bit annoyed that Jon seems to get all the flack in this battle. I know what replies I'm going to get "Jon is a lush" "Jon parties too much" "Jon needs to get a life" etc.

However, I'm pretty sure this is because Jon is the most prominent in tabloids. To me, Jon seems to be reacting to all the media focusing on him rather than Kate. Yes Jon needs to get a job, but you know what? So does Kate. What replies am I going to get to this? "Kate is supporting her kids this way" Blahblahblah, I'm just glad even if Jon did this out of selfish reasons, the show has stopped (at least temporarily) and they both need to get their crap straight. Who knows? To me, it looks like Kate looks like she's trying to be the good mother and come out smelling like roses, but I think she's just as bad as Jon. But I think they're both equally in the wrong.

I just feel a bit bad for Jon as he's trying to be defensive, and he can't even defend himself. Kate looks like she's trying to be the martyr and most people seem to be on her side. I think people need to remember she's the one who's got the show and most of the media's control.

Team Jon: Kate is a b****. Kate treated him badly. Kate is trying to demonize him.

Team Kate: Jon needs to get a life. Jon needs to get his crap straight. Jon is spending money. (Though really, all that stuff needs to be privatized, cause you know, the public has no right to really judge, and I don't see how anyone knows anyone else's personal information.)

To me, it looks like Team Kate will win, but I'm pretty sure both sides have lies, and I just think Team Kate has advantages.

It doesn't seem fair to shut out and demonize Jon when they're both in the wrong.

Ever since got this new computer, I still haven't made it my own, so it still doesn't feel like my own. Ever since I've been 'living with' Al, I've basically used one of his dad's or aunt's or his small laptop. It's never been mine, so I've been keeping it as clean as I can (the inside rather) by not saving anything.

Anyway.

Update [14:17]: Yet another day has passed when I started this damn diary entry. Also, XD; I really need to stop calling this thing my journal, despite I've always wanted to call it my diary. Oh well. Force of habit. I really need to get back to diary writing: you remember? Where you actually had a physical diary to write into? I havent' done that in years. I still haven't finished one either.

Jess has done it already, but geez. Anyway. I know it's not a competition, but I've always wanted to look back on what I was feeling that day, that time. I mean, what can beat nostalgia?

Anyway. I should start taking pictures of this (dirty, okay-looking) laptop my honey got for me. <3 I looooooove you honey. You also need to write more in your journal.

*goes off to take pictures*

Update [15:00]: Okay, XD I love taking time stamps because I want to try and keep my journals less than XXXX amount of days to post. I finally took pictures! Only I forgot that Photobucket imposed lots of limits on their pictures on their free account. Because I always forget all my email accounts, I just like to stick with one for simplicity's sake. So for now, I stop this draft and go explore LJ's scrapbook feature, as I've never ever used it. @_@ Loser am I.

Update [19:14]: Okay, so I'll start using the scrapbook on LJ. Once I run out of space on that, I suppose I'll look for Flickr or other free photo hosts. @_@



Update [23:10]: Okay. Time to show images! ( Laptop GET ( )

Got it Tuesday

Been playing it since then. XD Got one character to the top of her career chain and working on the other one. Don't expect much outta me. (Not that there was much to expect anyway. XD)

TAKEN OVER MY LIFE FOR NOWWWWWW~

so my DS is broken and so we needed to fix it.

XD As with all fix it yourself, it's a risk. XD BF failed. @_@ It's okay, since I know nothing. I did want to do everything but the soldering though.

Whatever.

XD Anyway, gonna try and fix it while he's gone, but stupid ass here always throws a bitchy hissy fit whenever he gets all pissed off. I don't mind I have a broken antenna already, since I never use wireless on my DS anyway, but the microphone is now lost. I may or may not need that for future Phoenix Wright games. >_o

So I must now scrounge his dirty desk and room for a small white cord for the freakin' microphone before even attempting to pick up where he left off.

I think I'll just splurge the last of my spending money and buy a used one at EBGames. Honestly I don't want to wait anymore for something less.

DX I love my boyfriend, I really do. But everyone has their faults, I know.

@_@ Still, I wish we could correct those faults in each other better than our own selves. I swear, it's a lot easier for a stranger to point out faults than someone close to you. And even if someone close to you does, sometimes people don't want to see the light. Or whatever.

XP Blah.

So who watches the Chinchilli commercials on TV or youtube? *raises a hand* THEY ARE FREAKIN' AWESOME.

XD I don't want to link them yet. I'll save them for later.

it's kind of late so I just want to say what I wanna say.

XD I've been rewatching clips of old anime, like Sailor Moon and Rurouni Kenshin and Dragonball. Oh classics. @@ Oh yeah, and HO SHIT TRIGUN MOVIE. Yeah I know, I'm late, since I've been celebrating for like a few weeks ago. Oh man, do I remember the days of buying fansubs.

Anyway. XD I now love this song - Azusa nigou (Azusa 2go? I just see it with more search engines this way) from a certain old anime listed above.

For those of you who SHOULD know your anime, this is the song and I'm going to be very disappointed if no one can pinpoint which episode and which anime it was featured in.

The song comes in around 1:14.

D: Parts arrived yesterday, but we'll have to wait on fixing the DS until we have a soldering iron.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I want it fixed NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO. T_T I wanna plaaaaaaaaay. The withdrawal came back when the parts came in. T_T_T_T_T_T

DEVIL SURVIVORRRRR T_T I WANT TO PLAAAAAAAAAY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

So I know I haven't been updating since that last frustrated post, but meh. XD So I will quickly update you guys with what's been going on recently.

Weight & Fitness - So! Good news! The last time I posted was about two weeks ago. Last week, I didn't do as much fitness.

Last week - 1x strength routine, 3x running. (I ran 3 times last week and 1 strength routine). So basically, I didn't make my minimum of 3x running and 2x strength routine a week. T_T sad I know. I didn't eat as well as I did the week before. Besides the fact that I was frustrated, I just didn't care as much about my weight since I screwed up.

When I weighed myself for the week, I lost 1.5 lbs, and weighed 156.5. Woo hoo! XD So my results are telling me I should eat less healthily and do less effort! XD; I swear, I have these weeks all the time when I try losing weight, but everyone has off and weird weeks.

This week - This week was kinda chaotic, as I didn't get my usual routines in.

Ran 2x, did 2x strength routine, ate healthily most of the time, however I wanted to concentrate on more muscle (strength) and less cardio (running). So I just decided to do 3x strength and 3x run, but the last two days kinda screwed me up, since I was helping Al's brother move out. So I figured 2 days of going up and down stairs for 4 flights moving some light boxes and random things up and down stairs were good enough.

So I weighed myself this week and I lost another pound! Woohoo! I weigh 155.5lbs now.

So tomorrow, I will just try to get into a steady light jog, as my right arm is a bit sore (my left arm isn't) but I guess that's cause of all the random taking stuff down. I hope I can find my workout clothes. T_T I wanted to go down to SJ today but we have to do stuff so...

Yeah. WOO HOO! 155.5lbs! 120lbs, here I come! (Again!)

Today (Monday): :( I ate too much. I suck. T_T I did run a little bit. T_T I still suck.

ABDC: Season 4 seems boring. @_@

And because I'm tired of writing this entry, I'll split up the rest for later since I always get lazy writing these things. XD

Pounds lost: NONE.

I am totally disappointed, as I ate less, and more healthier. @_@ Maybe I don't eat enough, or maybe I eat too much junk.

-_- I'm just sorta pissed off because I lost no weight despite I generally ate less and healthier, ran for like 15 miles and did my strength workouts. >_o WTF man.

Hell yeah I'm freakin' disappointed, and want to exercise less now. It's not like I do very intensive workouts, but it's not like I'm shuffling or cruising by either. >_<

Fuck.

breakfast: small bowl of fried rice + 2 shrimp (Cause I can't resist my other mom's cooking)
Lunch: :D Large strawberry smoothie (not fresh- Yes I know, XD bad but whatever), and spaghetti
Snackages: Ice cream (XD bad I know, but I ate a small amount and the cone.) I should have gotten a soft serve. and a fudgsicle.
Dinner: Spaghetti and 2 wings of fried chicken.

Woo. XD; I would have saved a lot more calories if I just didn't get the damn smoothie. >_o Freakin' Al.

Cause trust me, I do lots of thinking, not a lot of doing, cause I'm a lazy person.

Anime - Shounen Onmyouji: XD I'm getting back into this again. I want to complete it. I first saw it in 2007 or so, at the last Anime Expo I was at. I really loved the opening, the pretty designs, the awesome OP and characters, badass characters, magical stuffs, cute mascots, summons and pretty boys and girls so it's an instant love. XD It's kinda a cooler magical culture Pokemon! Sort of.

Anyway, I've been watching 3-5 episodes everyday. Which is pretty light compared to my old style of AWESOME MARATHONING OF 20+ EPISODES PER DAY.

I always wanted to have my own webpage of reviews inventory-ing my animes and mangas, but I'm just too lazy. Ha.

The Job Hunt: I uh... only applied to one job yesterday. @_@ I didn't do any today. I am a sad pathetic human being, I know. However! I will email some San Francisco hospitals about volunteering. ... And ask Al about San Jose hospitals too. MAKE SURE I DO THAT, MINNA!

MY BOYFRIEND IS LE AWESOME: It's a bit late, but he got me more stuff than just the laptop. He got me an R4 card.

So, I need some help. :D I just google things myself, but can anyone recommend some DS ROM sites?

and please no lectures about downloading ROMs. XD I'm poor, and I've always bought my games. Since i'm not at home right now, I don't remember my games. XD Below are some lists of games not to recommend, because I already have them.

I've bought: All the Ace Attorney games, FF3, Cooking Mama (waste D:), Mario & Luigi somethingsomething in Time (where they meet their baby selves), Castlevania (the one with the gray haired dude...), Trace Memory, Pokemon: Diamond (XD another waste for me), and I can't remember the rest XD;

I've downloaded: DQ4, DQ5, The World Ends With You, Animal Crossing, FF4, Professor Layton.

So: any recommendations? I don't have my DS with me, so I can't play them right now. Oh well. I can wait.

HELP ME I HAS NO GIFT FOR AL: XD Well, it's not like Al uses LiveJournal ever, even though I made him friend me and everything. D: I has no money, even though I've used up almost my entire summer has been spent on bills. T_T it suuuucks.

I've already made him a (shitty) scrapbook for his 24th birthday (a bit after we got together), so that seems out of the question. D: PLZ HELLLLLLP!!!!

BART strike: BART is a sort of subway system for the Bay Area, including San Francisco and many cities around it. >_o long story short: 4/5 Unions agree with new BART work contracts, but nooooo 1 fucking union has to fuck it up, and now people are striking.

It's a bit more complicated than this I'm sure, but I know that BART drivers and agents don't do much but press ONE BUTTON TO STOP, ONE BUTTON TO GO and they get paid like 40+/hr. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NEEDM ORE THAN THAT WHEN IT IS AN UNEDUCATED, NO REAL EXPERIENCE NEEDED JOB?

340k people will be out of a way to get to work because of them and I wish we could just fire them all and just hire people who can do their goddamn job.

I'm pretty anti-union, as I'm used to working minimum wage, because I HAVE NO SKILLS. It's harsh but, shit how much more demands can a fucking union make, when the other unions have agreed, and we're in a fucking recession?

How the fuck can they expect people to sympathize with that BART union or its strike? Stupid.

What I ate: :D So far, I've been doing pretty well. I love my breakfast of cereal. Then I wait to digest and run about noontime. then I shower and accompany Al to take his aunt to work. Um, I ate my other half of my burger from a day ago. I still have a quarter left. Then Al and I made soem potstickers. :D I ate some. As for dinner, I'll eat some pizza Al's mom made. Or the last quarter of my leftover hamburger. :3

Today - Aug 13 Thursday
Jogged almost all of the forward loop. Rested 1 min. (99% jogged) 38 minutes

Monday - Jogged/walked 3.1 miles (80% jogged) backward loop (40 min)
Tuesday - Jogged/walked 3.1 miles (90%) forward looped (39 min)
Wednesday - Jogged (3.1 miles) forward loop (37 min), strength routine

[x] Jog/Run at least 3x a week (M, T, W)
[ ] Do strength routine at least 2x a week
[x] Have a treat day (W)

Okay, shortened the rough form for a bit. Today I had to rest while jogging, and it cost me a minute. sigh. Oh well. :3 I'll try to consistently jog that forward loop. I still have to be able to jog that backward loop the entire way.

Other than that, WOOT! Almsot done with this exercise week! Tomorrow, strength routine! Then with saturday, I should be back home, battling to jog the hills! And sunday is rest day! WOO! I love getting most of my exercise done by Wed/Thursday, as it feels awesome to finally get things done right! Hopefully I can keep this up!

And yes, this is the week I FINALLY started using sunscreen. Agh. I hate smelling of sunscreen even after showers. Oh well.

So I'm gonna try to post some sort of form so it'll be easier for me to update myself and LJ with my exercise and food progress.

Today - Aug 12 Wednesday
Jogged the ENTIRE forward loop + brisk walk cool down 4-5 minutes (3.1 mi total)
Did Strength Rotuine (completed butt, leg and abs, am able to do roughly 3/8 reps of the upper body work out- PROGRESS!)

Monday - Jogged/walked 3.1 miles (80% jogged) backward loop
Tuesday - Jogged/walked 3.1 miles (90%) forward looped

[x] Jog/Run at least 3x a week (M, T, W)
[ ] Do strength routine at least 2x a week
[x] Have a treat day (W)

Goals: Jog Al's forward loop the entire way (~3.1 miles) (ACHIEVED! WOO HOO!) Avg time: 37 so far (best time: 30)
Jog Al's backward loop the entire way (~3.1 miles)
Jog up the hills back home the entire way (~2.1 miles - I'm trying to get a new route to extend it)
Be able to do 8 reps of the side plank, toe taps and X-reach each

Okay, so it's a rough form. @_@ God I wish I knew how to use LJ better. All my computer skills (or lack there of) are completely useless! WAAAAH.

But TODAY, I WAS ABLE TO ACHIEVE ONE OF MY GOALS. I WAS ABLE TO JOG THE ENTIRE WAY OF AL'S FORWARD LOOP. WOOOOOO! While it was slow going, as I've been out of touch for a while, it's still not as good as my best time of around 30 minutes.

I don't tend to change my routes because I want to get faster and faster. I know I'm a wuss, but I'm not starting with interval training yet, just the usual steady jog. Now that I know I can go a steady jog, I'll try to get my times faster with my running. However, I hate how there's all this, "OMG don't get into a routine and get stuck there for too long" cause what the hell am I supposed to do about cardio? I know your body gets smart and all, but running is pretty much my only cardio as I don't have any money nor do I have any elliptical machines (yes I know I have the treadmill at home, but it's not mine to use, and it's much more productive IMO to run outside now) and the one at al's house is... well I don't know how to operate it.

I don't know how to swim and I don't have a bike. D:

So running is my sole cardio workout.

As for strength, once I'm able to do the upper body exercises, I'll switch it up in a month or so. I really want to lose weight again and keep it that way. Gah and I eat more unhealthy now. So bad.

I'll try to do better.

Today, I ran for 3 miles and I cool down by walking briskly to finish my jog home. It took me a total of 37 minutes. Not too bad. I want to try doing the 10 minute mile, (cause it takes me 3-5 minutes to cool down, briskly walking the last few minutes home to finish up) and get faster and faster and do interval training.

@_@ As for diet, XD I eat cereal + milk for breakfast, ate a banana and drank lots of water after running, then ate at Chilis and ate some fries and 1/4 of my burger, then went home, napped, and ate spaghetti. @-@ And a fudsicle.

I'm no longer counting calories as much, as it's really such a pain.

Regular update coming up.

Exercise/Weight Loss: Okay, so pretty much, the last two weeks UTTER FAIL for my exercise and weight loss regiment. XD; I really need to stop calorie counting, but it's soooo hard when Al's house has no snacks and all these meals or we go out to eat. D: Terrible I know, but I don't know how to cook.

I'm trying to start anew again. Luckily, I weighed myself this Sunday, as I do every week, and I only lost half a pound. @_@ Ugh.

Start: 163 (Like a month ago?)
So far: 158 (Last Sunday, Aug 9th)

I was going to make a separate diary/journal for this, but then again, that's what tags are for. XD It would probably be more organized and I'd feel more... INTO THE MOOD of writing a more concise report. I suppose I will try and start tomorrow. (Just like with everything else, I always tend to forget. And this was supposed to be posted like XD days ago)

Anyway, while I have gotten a little more stamina, my progress is quite stunted as I keep eating badly while counting calories and not exercising consistently. I try to keep my minimum of 3x running a week with 2x strength routine, but I've been hitting below that last week. Ugh. XD I blame jury duty.

This week has been going alright so far. It's only been two days. Today, I run my usual 3ish miles. I haven't been able to run/jog the entire way yet, but my goal is to be able to do that one day. So far, the backwards loop is still a lot harder for me, despite it's the exact same route as the forward loop. (Forward, backward, XD it's just arbitrary for me.)

Ugh and I finally have money to buy some sunscreen. Ugh, I know, I'm terrible, don't judge me, XD I've been running for a month or so, but I odn't really need it in cloudy SF, but here in sunny SJ, uh yeah. I've never had sunburn before (technicaly, only one very easy skin peeling, but even then it was't even noticeable) and I never want to. I always put on sunscreen, except for the past month when I didn't have money.

Anyway. I hate reeking of sunscreen because I *RUN*. I don't swim, so it's not like I smell like the pool. And ugh, I need Al to teach me how to swim. (Yes again, I am a pathetic being who can't swim. Or drive.) And even after I shower and such, I still reek of sunblock somewhat. >_< Anyone have any solutions to this?

I'm about to go run in about 20-30 minutes so I'll get ready after I write this diary entry.

TV: Wooooo! ABDC is back on! ABDC 4! And I'm still watching Hell's Kitchen.

Anime: Yeah I thoguht this died with me 2-3 years ago when I stopped cosplaying and stopped having tons of money.

I'm re-watching Shounen Onmyouji because I've always loved the theme song and designs and story and pretty characters. I saw it when it was showing at AX like back in 2007. I bought hte first DVD and never got back into it.

Job Hunt: I've been applying to jobs since June, but it's not like I apply to a job everyday. @_@ It's hard to find lab tech/biotech jobs, and I have no research experience... so in this economy, I'm pretty sure no one wants me unless they feel sorry for me or something.

I did get an interview but that was only cause I had the hook up with a soon-to-be relative. ::sigh:: But I think I failed the interview process.

And the process exhausted me, even though my letters aren't fully customized. Yeah yeah I know, I need to fully customize each letter to each company/job. Job hunter tips say that you should do research on the company and try to address the letter who's actually hiring/supervising the job. However, how the hell do you do that with huge ass companies, and how do you actually find the person or even the department that's hiring? It seems fucking impossible.

Like how am i supposed to know that Dept A is doing this and that mini-company is in charge of B, and that department is overseeing a new project C with person D doing the hirign? How the hell do you find that out on a fuckign website? Most websites won't even have that sort of information.

I hate making customizeable letters because I don't know what the hell I'm talking about most of the time. It's like I'm making guesses to what the damn company/hiring person wants to hear. I also don't like re-writing some of my paragraphs because it's stuff I would say ANYWAY, and I don't want to write it over AGAIN.

So tiring IMO. Yeah I know, it sounds pathetic since I don't do much anyway, but still. >_< I'd have to spend days researching the damn position if not WEEKS and the job might close in that time.

God, I just want a starter job. I don't even mind working for free if they'd just train/let me get experience and references from them.

Oh well. I gotta go. Gonna run soon. :3 Will update some more later after running.

So wasted more time on Friday only to get excused. Sigh. What a freakin' waste of time. Anyway, Aug 6th (Friday) is Al's dad's birthday, so I wanted to be excused on aug 5th, when I was called in, on Thursday.

Waste of time. I had to stay and waste more of my time. Whatever. I went to Al's. He's always worth my time.

Then I went back home, well to work. I always wake up around 6:30 on Saturday to commute from san jose to Fremont, then to SF (work).

Nothing really notable happened. XD Except that I'm totally failing my weight loss plan. T_T after work, I'm just so usually tired and drained. ::sigh::

I'll make a separate post about that tomorrow.

Other than that, I have nothing to do except get back on the job search and I guess, try to lose weight. :3

On sunday night, I went back to Al's house and here I am. Again. XD I should treat Huong out since she always drives me home. Oh well. I don't think I'll get my driving license cause my permit will run out this month. I don't exactly have the money to pay for lessons. I'll try again this year. I really want to get it in September. Hopefully it'll be the same price, cause the lessons I had were pretty darn cheap.

Other than that, I'm watching America's Dance Crew 4, and the newest Hell's Kitchen season.

And now that I have this awesome laptop... I'll try to take pictures and post up specs and my review after my run tomorrow.

And it's time to sleep. Night!
