study update

i'm being cooked in la...

with the sun spraying its rays 

roasting me...

THATS OK COZ IT"S LIKE A FREE SAUNA....

so basically i'm being quite studious lately...i'm reading my articles and doing research for my term paper still... most likely i'm going to stay up tonight working on it coz omg...the heat is slowing me down. 

at night, it's the perfect atmosphere...ppl are quiet (less ...teh annoying girl who had sex next door 2 days ago ;( ) it's cooler than the day ( coz the sun aint cooking) 

N i'm more of a night person than day...

i'm quite sporadic now...i'm going to eat out with a friend i havent seen since spring qtr! so excited..but i hope to get back by 9 ish coz i really need to ...study.. 

and i really want to...

really want to...

WATCH MORE DRAMAS. and go on more shopping ... well my friend and i went shopping and filled up his car.... LOL and that huge ass bag with 100$ shit isn't mine! 

update

so basically,

my mom and i came to a consensus and decided to get me a sony vaio ea series... so no macbooks for me for a while :(

although today my friend let me borrow a macbook to use! thank you thank you! now i don't have to worry about finding a vacant computer to use in the computer labs...;)

today went to westfield century city to do a bit of mini shopping. my friend and i have bday in july so we just wanna spoil ourselves!! yayy

welll... the term paper can wait a day .. eh?

well... this is me sitting outside my dorm right now ...i know...tired as fuckk...

alright gonna do a bit more reading online then sleep =_+; but... i have to deal with no macbook for a LONG WHILE NOOOOOOO 

summer sessions ;( AGAIN.

it's only been 4 days and it felt like 2 weeks have passed. ;(
well...i'm taking a chinese intensive course at ucla. 15 units. basically covering a year of chinese in 9 weeks. the word intensive is such an UNDERSTATEMENT.

everyday i have to be on the edge of my seat. i can't sleep in class. i can't even doodle coz i'm taking notes. n there's always a chance i get called on ..for no reason. quizzes everyday of the week.
...

this is the WORSE for my body. my dark eye circles gets darker day after day.

so... to relieve stress,

i went to eat KBBQ. my friend was SO LUCKY. he happened to called me right when i had my phone with me and is "LOUD" profile (u BB freaks know what i mean) so i made time. woooo.

and also, maybe tmw i might have to go eat out as well with my other friend that i "vanished" on.

sigh. i have trouble with "friend-mgmt" (think time mgmt?) i suck and that's how i lose my friends... BOO HOO.

of course, it's my fault, and i def. live up to it...

anyways. tiem to study. write vocab words, think of waht to say for tmw's in lecture presentation, pick classes to enroll (my enrollment time is tmw...).

i didn't think summer will be this taxing. however, if i have the chance to choose a boring summer at home or a crazy stressful summer at ucla, i would rather choose the latter, because at least i am challenging myself and getting something done. no regrets i tell you.

actually, i may be regretting it coz the loss of beauty sleep is ...KILLING ME. SLOWLY! MY LEFT EYE JUST TWITCHED. and it's just FIRST WEEK.

alrights. toodles.

i came home to see one more fish and it's still alive and grown fatter ;_:

so my brother and i already bought our dad a father's day present.

it's an electronic bought from Best Buy Emeryville.
it's not really what we want or needed ...but he wanted this SO MUCH it's strangling our ears (like those...i dont really want u to get it but HINT HINT HINT)
it's something we all can use....to go on...the internet


u'll all see tmw when he unwraps and marvels at the splendor of a measely 19 + 17 year old gift...
- now...NO SHOPPING FOR A SUMMER because of this .

FUCK.

fjklsajfsdfjsd;ljfsld;kf

well... i suppose anything to make our father happy will make us happy.

because of this i wasn't able to practice last night. CURSES!!!

but i went to home depot and bought spray lacquer paint to overlay the nasty epoxy glue that my mom and i fixed my instrument with. SO NASTY. it's like...white slime. but it doesn't affect the overall sound :)
----------------------------------------------
going back to la TMW night. ;( that means i go back and start SCHOOOOOOLLLL!!!!!!! immediately.
coz i'll be back around 8:30 am ... unless i drive 80 mph on the 5... (i have a feeling my dad is doing less of the driving for me coz he's sooo tired ;() my class starts at 9am so ...whoo. reality SUCKS

school is gonna go from 9am- 4pm.... welcome back k-12 education =_=;;;

---
alights. enough updates. ;)


ALL IN ONE PC!!!! they rule heheheh. when will apple come up with TOUCH SCREEN imacs?

SUMMER FLIES

i woke up around 5:20 am coz i can't sleep ;(

there's a fly zooming about around my bed and makes this zzzzz noise.

the pitch of the zzzzz increases...WEIRD.
usually it'd decrease coz it sucks blood and has to fly slower

after i was bitten once i can't sleep...

i remembered the 2nd day i came back i got bit
(JUST KILLED A FLY RIGHT NOW MUHAHHAA)

2 bites on forehead
3 on left cheek
1 on right jaw line
2 just above my right brow
1 below my right brow
.........

which just REMINDED me why i wanted to go back to LA so bad...back to the Rieber Vista days where there's AC and a goodnight's sleep ;(

anyways. more flies killing commence!

I am about to explode my eyes out of my sockets!

After a whole all-nighter last night of watching all 11 episodes of Nodame Contabile...I have to do my final project ...NAO.

Well.. watching the drama was part of the project! lolol. I am writing about the usage of classical music in the film, and how the drama is well-received despite classical music sales are fallingggggg

yeah yeah. i think i can write a good 10 pages with that ;(

Anyways. Still at Powell library ;9
THANKYOU night powell! Now. let more writing commence! ;(


now i want! lol

California Gurls!

So I am listening to California Gurls (feat. Snoop Dog) sung by Katy Perry.
Be sure to spell "Gurls" coz "California Girls" is by The Beach Boys

This single was also rank 1 in billboard digital Song Chart! :)


I was curious and read a few comments people wrote, and mostly many are saying her voice sounds a close to Ke$ha's.

I don't think this should be compared though, we're following this style of singing, not neccessarily impersonating the singer.

As I was walking to class (more like brisk-walking coz I'm late), I heard something

FUNNY

in the lyrics.

Let me explain:
This is Snoop Dog's Rap:

Tone Tan
Fit and ready
Turn it up cause its gettin' heavy
Wild wild west coast
These are the girls I love the most
I mean the ones
I mean like shes the one
Kiss her
Touch her
Squeeze her

The girls a freak
She drives a jeep
The men on the beach
I'm okay
I wont play
I love the bait
Just like I love LA
Venice beach
And Palm Springs
Summer time is everything

I just find it funny coz he said VENICE Beach and PALM SPRINGS. AHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA
Ok not really anymore. Coz the song is about the California beaches and girls on the coast, then out of nowhere, Palm Springs comes up. It's like the songwriter cannot think of anything else to say ...like "santa monica" is too long, or "Huntington Beach" is ..also too long... so Palm Springs it is!

Well. Palm Springs is about 2 hours

EAST

of UCLA, and to me that's quite far inland. it takes 2 hrs to get to SAN DIEGO from UCLA...so now you have a bit of comparison. CRAZY! I would go there for...desert parties...? It gets windy like SF at nights coz it's near the hills. Looks like typical suburbs...i'm thinking Cupertino/palo alto ish ...steven creek road lookalike LOL

He also included Venice Beach!! Nice place to go...never been there before tho, but from the reviews I have seen on the web (you can search around), it doesn't seem like a place where Beach Blondes go....

Overall, Love the song. coz I'm born in California anyways...
still... haven't watched it yet ...i'm not a movie person but would love to ;|
Alrights gotta finish essay. & also, FOLLOW ME.

WALLET PICS!

finally got my wallet sized batch via online order!!

Now we can produce our own wallet sized photos! ;)


this image doesn't do justice!
just think of prom pics quality!!!

hahahah

alrights**
waiting for my other batch!

MY NAME

Note: I am contemplating about changing the title of my blog. One of my readers has noted that it sounds so "Christian" I didn't even realize! haha
------

Of the 19 years of my life, I realized that my name is pronounced in 2 ways.

Most of my friends call me "Jes-sic-ca" 3 syllables

However, I am starting to get people that call me "Jess-ka" 2 syllables

WOOOOOOOOO~

Usually when I introduce myself I would pronounce my name with 3 syllables, because...

when my dad named me, my name was pronounced in 3 syllables. Maybe it's easier to pronounce...

now that i think of it, I like my name in 2 syllables more, bc Chinese people like to make fun of my name by the direct translation of "jerk see ka" (BIRD POOP) in Canto...

HATE. LOATHE. DEF HATE.
WHY give me that name!?

I NEVER had birds poop on top of my head before. EVER. or my body.

So i just had people call me Jes. NOT with 2 "s" but 1 only bc the 2nd "S" is silent anyways... I'm not French

there was 1 youtube reader that would sign her name as "Chesska"
I LIKE. I gave that comment a thumbs up just coz I like her name MUHAHAHAHAHA~

From now on. Everyone. CALL ME JES. JESSKA, BUT NOT JESS SIC KA.

..

...

JK. call me whatever you want. i don't care =_=;;

but for sure when i intro myself to ANYONE it'll be in 2 syllables. trustt me

update + BONAMANA MV came out today!!

will update tmw! this week has been quite busy!!

VIDEO OF THE DAY:



Super Junior's comeback single "Bonamana" This beat is quite unconventional to pop music due to the employment of 8 beats instead of 4/4. That's why a lot of people are saying there's a "Bollywood" feel to this track. So just count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2...

I say this is awesome...shock people out of 4/4...maybe people will do 6/8..soon, but i doubt because 8 count is as close as it gets to 4...

What do you all think?

From the comments on the video, a lot commented on the resemblance to "Sorry Sorry." I don't see it!! Can somebody enlighten me? :[

update

dragged myself to class today... omgomgomg so TIRED

but the professors were quite fun today

one of them ran around in a circle on stage, and said, "i'm trying to not run so fast so I wont fall down the stage and go 'BOOM'" i laughed...no cackled.

He looks like this:

awesome professor. like his crazy life stories

alrights. but my FAVORITE PROFESSOR at UCLA was




he taught me math 31a whoo~

don't be fooled by his appearence
his voice gets even funnier during lectures
i would say he's highly effective
the only con is if u aren't just taking his class to fulfill a requirement and really in for "learning" then u're in the wrong class
his course is entertainment.

actually, another con is during finals
he's the type to READ your exam after u turned it in hot and fresh
then he beckons his head TA over and cackles at your exam in Chinese
...
true story. it made me turn in my exam 1/2 hour later than intended

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

hello all readers!

ty for viewing my blog! i really appreciate all of you that took the busy busy time out of your day to read my stories!!

to thank you all, i might post up something cool in the next 3 days!! i dont' know which day, depending on how fast i finish my assignments due the next 3 days ;[

i procrastinated today and hung out with the same 2 ppl for 12 HOURS. there were altogether 5 ppl to begin with, and then it dwindled down to just 3 of us coz it's mother's day. and then we practically just chatted and did hella random shit the whole day...

worth it? ... YES. ALL procrastination tactics are definitely worthwhile if it's some huge studying stint that'll commence for ....HOURS.

mama tang is still home in norcal so i cant really do much
i always want to send her stuff but she'll just bitch me out for being so cheap at what i buy...;|


VIDEO OF THE DAY:


I LOVE. LOVE. THIS beat. Fedde Le Grand ft Ida Cor: Let Me Think About It

It's just a dance beat folks, don't get too excited and try to search for the lyrics coz it aint there!
i think this is a great track to dance to in a club~

This track is used throughout the recording of on 5/5/2010


If you just want to watch the gist, skip to .51 secs and u'll see "Dance Flow" dancing to the track.

FREAKING CRAZY!! OMG.

ok. imma outs gotta do HW!!

觸電

I shall start off this post with a video:



this is a 3 year old dance song. It's still top 20 in mp3.baidu. in the dj charts

Song name:觸電

S.H.E. also has a song with the same title so don't get confused!

Artist: 芭比
... it's ..."ba bi" in mandarin ...reminds me of "barbie" ahha

I like the girl vocals, DISLIKE the guy part. omg why does he keep saying "huh!..huh!" It's such a distraction that I wish his parts were taken out!!

I like how in the KTV, 芭比 did a lot of Vogue-like movements. so cool~

Reminds me of the annoying guy in


well...he's not that annoying. but anywaysss
enough of my music rants lol

My Nose Stud Story

Let me begin my post with my face.



if you look closely, u can see my nose stud on my right nostril.

it's really small bc i didn't want a nose ring! n i wanted something cute!

I had this pierced at Freak Chic in Melrose approx. 3 week ago. Mat Joseph is my piercer and he's SO pro at what he's doing that it's worth paying the amount! (wont disclose here but if u pm me i'll let u know)

Well, if you're in the area and interested, I had a 5 Star amazing experience there. YELP reviewers also agree:
http://www.yelp.com/biz/freak-chic-los-angeles



I get asked questions from my crazy friends like,

Q: What happens when u get sick?

A: I don't know yet coz i didn't get sick, but i suppose i just have to be extra careful. However, when i blow my nose the air from my nostrils will push my stub upwards (almost a comical effect)

Q: What's really inside your nose? Is there a backing?

A: When i was picking out the stud i wanted, the studs look like this:



After it was pierced, I felt the shape seems like :


so the piercing doesn't just slide out. removing the stud is quite tricky & my piercer suggested i go back to him to remove/change studs

Q: so..DID IT HURT?
A: No. i felt a tear trickle out of involuntary response, but otherwise i felt no pain. i give it a 2/10 ... LOBES hurt more. trust me.

Q: Was ur nose pierced with a needle or gun?
A: needle. For sanitary reasons, ALWAYS get ur piercings done with needle. I had my cartilage(both sides) pierced with a gun and I am thankful it healed well. I have two lobe piercings each side: with gun and needle. Needle is less painful, and won't pop any arteries and a pro knows how to prevent infections!

So to readers who had their nose pierced with a stud, you may have gone through the process where the stud has SUNKEN into the nose like quicksand. It seems REALLY scary coz it might just sink right into the nostrils and there'll be a HUGE hole in ur nose.
My stud has sunken in the first week, and that is why when I hung out with my friends they thought it was really small. but as weeks go by, my stud grew back out bc my skin is healing, and my friends usually make remarks about how that's the only thing they stare at bc it's SO INTRIGUING.
Also, if your stud has sunken in, do not panic crazily. studs normally will do this. that's why usually pros will reccommend getting pierced with a loop first. Keep pushing your stud up from ur nostrils at all times, and eventually, ur nose will heal and ur body won't reject the piercing. Just clean it!!!

Q: what do u use to clean it? do u use H20?
A: I know other people use H20, but I use a cleanser lotion, given to me by my piercer. I clean my stud and the occasional grime near it with a Qtip dipped with a pea sized amount of c-lotion, then dip the other side of the qtip with water to lightly 'rinse.' I do this two times a day. When I wake up and before I sleep.

Works well. no infections. healing nicely.

Piercing should be healed in 3 months, and it's best to keep the piercing on for a year.

Q: How do u like..wash ur face?
A: be very careful around the pierced area...i'm very gentle with my face anyways

Q: So if you take off the piercing, can u like breathe a tiny bit-ish through ur pierced hole?
A:....WHAT?

Q: Will you ever change your stud?
A: Depends. i m really a lazy person.

update

i hate procrastinating the day before the exam...
i have less than 24 hrs to study ..and i know the midterm is gonna be hard...

i'm going to head to Rieber computer lab and cram @_@




this is how tired i look right now boo hoo ;[

OMG WHAT HAPPENED?

Alright

my eyes are freaking bloodshot even after i slept for 12 hours and napped for 2 more...

I don't know where my eye drops are....
my right eye hurts yesterday...and i let it burn by dripping ROHTO DROPS...
=_=

Anyways~

EM #3

Well this is for the college girls out there.

I don't know about you, but I HATE walking up and down bruin walk. and it's not that i get tired of the walk...

It's coz something like this might happen:



Oh yes. THIS DOES HAPPEN when I walk down the hill.
POOR GIRLS.

I hate how this happen...or omg...when some girls be wearing their stockings...and wear a long shirt/tunic...n when they wear their backpacks...so the shirt rides up. Then if the girls hot, the guys will be just walking behind her... and if the girl's not, the guys will laugh. (TRUE story...i really hear them talk ;[ )

I'm not laughing at these girls, i'm just letting ya know, girls, we gotta be careful!!

Well, I don't even know if this has happen to me, but when i wear shorts probably....i think 1 time when i was walking up, i was wearing really loose hollister shorts and a jansport backpack, so if my shorts did ride up..it's possible.
;[
;[
i didn't hear anyone laughing behind me so idk

RECCOMMENDATION: safety shorts!!
i wear them under my skirts and i feel so much more comfortable wearing skirts out.
i bought 2 pairs from forever 21 at 3rd st promenade,
i went back yesterday to stock up but i don't see it anymore
FLKDJFL:SDFJKL:SDJFL:SD

My safety shorts look like this :


If i have an oversized tee, i'll just wear it over the shorts (it covers the shorts anyways) to work out hehe

----
Well, along with heading to good o' Forever,
I also went to Sake House (SO GOOOD) with my friends Arlene & Audrey



They are so much fun to hangout with!!
I didn't take any pics of myself coz i got terrible bloodshot eyes and the food was much more enticing... It was so hard keeping myself from drooling while processing the food pics ;[

That was my FOURTH time going there. I really like their food. I know it's not like authentic authentic* japanese food coz the waiters sound korean and everything is like the chop suey of Chinese food but ..I gotta say the food is good enough for a poor college kid like me!

Ambience is awesome!! Love the flowers. Love how it's synthetic coz i have pollen allergies.



We came during Happy Hour coz we get REALLY good cheap food!!
This is their Crispy Tuna for $3 ONLY! (you get 2 servings..it's only 1 here)



The tuna is really...good .

What was SUMPTUOUS was the fresh half shelled oysters..It warranted an Usher OMGOSHH



Then we got the Monster Roll. It's $7 coz it was happy hour! Spicy tuna on top with wtvr stuff in there i dont remember i just loved the tuna!!



I have such bad memory coz i don't know what these are..then it's probably not like WOW to me but still good:





also



Lastly we ordered fried tofu! I am personally not a huge fan of tofu coz it just taste... like fermented beans..I love tofu hua (tofu cake?) so good

This is awesome with the sweet soysauce



but caution, it's REALLY hot when served so careful!!

Overall a good experience. I'm going to head back there again(when my parents come visit~)!! YAYY!

I have a good EM for tmw yes yes yes I am even twitching just thinking about it.
If i remember that is lol~
Until tmw! More pics ... +_+

summer sessions

So i'm currently taking summer sessions at ucla. WOOT WOOT!

i love taking summer sessions. people that come here are willing to put their time into studying and academic achievement. It's a smaller community so i don't have to see a lot of people i don't like. YAY!

Plus I love my current roommates so far, they are amazing and already, I have learned to tolerate their slamming door habits, and them liking the windows closed. It's not too bad.

I love how each one of us have our own awesome headphones/earphones! the room is always amazingly quiet. :D

Oh yeah. and i'm gonna put forth one year of hell and i'm gonna see if i can make it. if i can, then this will definitely piss a certain somebody off. i cant wait to put my plan into action!

o, what i'll be doing is a year-long process, so please, be patient and i'll be updating in the meantime. but i promise in the end u readers will be laughing along with me :D

i'm going to be a guest performer tomorrow. can't wait (to get this over with) gonna head to rehearsal in 2 hours. haha

i'll post more things later. will maybe write something a bit mean. i dont know. depending on my mood.

o. and it's best if you can comment below rather than my fb...can reply back on my blog faster!!
