please go to http://ucigfrmla.blogspot.com/ for further reference. also, GP lies. a lot. but don't hold it against him, it's just his defense mechanism. it can't be easy getting rejected by me over and over and OVER again. so have a heart and cut him some slack.

uciGfrmLA (3:33:50 PM): im bored

nimz has graciously asked me to represent her for today. seeing that she has only blogged once in over a year, i will make a blog for her. but be advised that this blog is not hers. it is mine. and in my blog...anything goes. and if you guys think it's a good blog, nimz doesn't get credit for it. i do. if it sucks..blame it on her.

so let me tell you why nimz hasn't been blogging. it's those damn applications. applications to what, you ask. well, to tell you the truth...i really don't know. in fact, i don't think anyone knows. i don't even know if the Man Himself knows. i mean, really...how long does it take to fill out an application? it'll be funny if the application process is longer than the school itself. it takes, on average 2.5 years to complete an application while the school itself is about 11months. that's jsut funny if it were true. but like i said...we don't know if it's true.

i know that the application excuse is bullshit. we all know that nimz has been playing the field. testing out the eggs in the chicken farm. trying all 31 flavors of the ice cream. and who knows...maybe she's even playing for the other team. what i'm trying to get out there is that she's trying to prove me wrong when i say that i'm the best that she has ever been with. plain and simple. she's trying to prove me wrong. she's trying to deny each and every single second that we were together were the best of her young life, if not her entire life. ya'll know about that phrase, "once you go black you never go back"? well, she went there...and she came crawling back to me. and i denied her...

enough about me and her...that was so many years ago. just like what i've done to her before, i'm dropping it.

let's see...word on the street is that some people have been talking mad shit about nimalee. i don't believe it. and you shouldn't too. why? because i just made it up. if anyone was talking shit about her, i'd be the first to know. really...i would be. and why would i be the first to know? cuz more than likely, "i would be the one starting the shit talking". i don't know. that's just me. that's how i roll the dice. im dangerous like that. i take risks. i don't blame myself. i love gambling with my money.

so i pretty much just reread this entire entry and i'm amazed at all the trashtalking i did towards nimzical. in all seriousness, if you ever get the chance to really know her, you'll know that what i said is all on point. hahahaha....

*everything i wrote is all in good fun. none of it actually happened...well, except for me dumping her. that one is all true. but other than that, you shouldn't hate nimz cuz she doesn't wanna hang out with you. don't blame the player...blame the game.

i've lost that bloggin feelin

random thought for the day: so i caught part of Pretty Woman the other day on tv and during this one scene where they're like leaving each other for good, this one song came on...the one that goes "it musta been love but it's over now". and all i ever think when i hear that song is, if it's really love, then it wouldn't ever be over. so it must not have been love. true love doesn't ever end, does it? that's why i dont think most of us have ever really been in love...cuz it didn't last. maybe it was getting there...but it couldn't have really been true love, because it ended. what do you think?

The best action I've gotten in awhile!! oooh yeah!

unexpected turn of events

2005-09-23T14:31:00.000-07:00

it hurts my heart to know that i hurt you. i wish it was my pain and not yours...at least i'd know how handle that. you must be a pretty amazing person that i have no bad feelings toward you despite what we've been through. i dont want to see you do things to hurt yourself. to know that the pain in your eyes is my fault is more than i can bear. i never thought it'd be like this...i guess it's harder to love than to hate. sometimes something funny happens and i want to share it with you, or i want to vent to you about things because you know me and what i've been through, and you've always been there for me, but i know i cant do that now...maybe someday. my first instinct is always to try and fix things, but i know i can't just put a bandaid over this one...and i know that the more i try to, the more i hurt you. so i'll leave you alone until you're ready. all i can do is pray for you every night and hope that you're ok.

oh olright

i know this is coming way too late...but i hope you all realize that it's not because i didn't appreciate the love. so i just wanna say...thank you to everyone who sat in the hot sun for hours just to see me graduate...i look at those pictures and i just cant believe how many of you were there...i'm so thankful...i'm so blessed to be surrounded by such love. nothing else could have made up for my mom not being there better than all of your smiling faces. more than anything else, it was you all being there that made it a memorable day for me. looking back on my years at UCI, i'm most proud of the friendships i've made. thank you.

i'm getting nervous about the LSAT already. i wonder if i'm going down the path He wants me to go down. i just want that one moment that i replay in my head over and over...but what if it never comes? afraid of failure right now. but i won't let fear stop me. thanks for the support...and please keep praying for me.

speaking of praying...i cant seem to right now as much as i want. i feel like i'm losing God, but i do know that He's not losing me.

sometimes i'm so selfish...

she broke my heart again. but i have much more heart to give. maybe i'm looking for an approval that i'll never get, but i can't help but continue to look.

relationships are hard. sometimes i wonder how anyone makes it all work. i'm trying to lay it all on the line but i'm not sure i know how to live like that...it's hard to undo years of keeping walls up. it's hutrs to feel vulnerable. but i have faith that, in the long run, life and love will prove to be worth it.

with so many goodbyes, i'm already dreading my own.

went to Judge Schumann's picnic. good times! caught up with Brian for a few mins and for a long time with Kristina. jammed with the Judge on the piano, Kristina on the drums, and me on vocals...pretty fun! and heard the story of how she and Mr. Schumann met. pretty funny stuff. the first time my boss has known my favorite cuss word...she's such a cool person to work for!

i went to a rave called Fly Away at a club called SoHo in LA with Paul. it was way more fun than i expected, maybe cuz i really expected to hate it. but i learned how to dance raver-style...with glow stick and all! lol. and all the high people were really nice. someone gave me a bracelet! very different from hip hop clubs. i'd do it again. and Paul can dance up a storm! who knew!

thumbs up to:

...but not quite. so i graduated this quarter, but i dont feel all elated and free just yet cuz there are still a few loose ends to tie up, and with LSAT stuff and my internship all piled in there, i dont feel as stress-free right now as i thought i would. i still have that one paper to get done and still have UROP Symposium at which to present. and i just wont feel totally settled until after my degree is certified, which could take a few weeks i hear. but after all that is done, then i'll be relieved and truly feel free...free to focus on the LSAT... a woo hoo hoo. not. some of that shit is HARD! anyway, here are my senior pics...i never thought i'd say this, but i cant wait to actually walk!

PS - Happy Birthday Shelbilicious!! you rock my world!!

currently playing: Joss Stone - Right to be Wrong & Janis Joplin - Cry Baby
yeah baby, mixing up the generations. Joss Stone is awesome and Joplin just kicks ass!

-edit- blogger wont let me upload my pics so until i figure something out, it can kiss my brown ass!

Happy 2005!

Happy New Year to everyone...I hope this year brings much happiness to all of you!

Good news for my family...my grandma, aunt, uncle, and cousins are just fine. We finally got word on the 29th, through an email from my dad's friend who went to check on them, that they all survived. It was a really scary few days though, full of worry, especially for my dad. If they had died, he would have lost his entire family, all in one swoop. My aunt's house is right on the beach, and according to them, the two hotels on either side of their house were completely demolished, yet her house was fine. It had only 3 feet of water damage, and from what we heard, it was only in the yard and not the inside of the house. My aunt had said that by the time she ran upstairs and ran back down again to get some of her things, the water had already come and gone, and everything was still intact. My aunt is pretty well-off so my dad said that their house was built really sturdy, and that's why it was able to take the force, even though the hotels couldn't. anyway, i'm just thankful that my family is alive and well, and i thank everyone so so much from the very depths of my heart for praying for them and for all the victims of this disaster. sadly, one of our family friends, Dr. Ambrose (you may have seen some of the articles about him in the paper), lost his wife and daughter and is himself in critical condition in the hospital right now. He lives in Northridge where he has an OB/GYN practice. He was my aunt's doctor (and i think also my mom's) and we would go to his huge, beautiful house for the big new year's bashes he would throw every year. His daughter, who is a music teacher, was in SL teaching violin to underprivileged kids, so he and his wife went to go visit her for the holidays. While over there, they went to this place called Yala, which has a lot of animals like elephants and stuff and is kinda like a safari area, just to sight see and what not. But that was one of the hardest hit areas...so that's how tragedy struck their family. his son flew out from here to be with him, but it's just sad to think that even if he does get through it, he'll wake up to the knowledge that his wife and daughter are gone forever. i just pray for his family, and for all the other families over there who have similar stories.

i really want to help. So Eileen (whose family is from Indonesia) and I are trying to put together a service auction to raise money which we will then donate directly to the tsunami victims through the Red Cross and UNICEF. it is tentatively scheduled for Friday, January 14th around 6pm at Interfaith. But since it's vacation time, we have yet to reach Nancy and confirm that it's ok to have it there. As soon as I find out more, I will post. In the meantime, however, I'm trying to get together a list of people who want to donate or offer a service to be auctioned. You may not think you have a service to offer, but you probably do...examples include tutoring, babysitting, washing someone's car, making a home-cooked/ethnic meal, etc. Also, if you or any of your family members work for a company that offers a particular service, say dance lessons or something, then you could always ask if the company could donate a service (like 1 0r 2 free dance lessons for the above example) to be auctioned off. anyway, you get the point. so please call me if you have anything to offer...i really think we can raise a good amount to send over to all the countries that need our help right now if we just try hard.

one love.

it's been awhile...

A lot has happened since i last wrote...but the most important thing on my mind right now is my family in Sri-Lanka. i just wanna ask anyone who reads this to please take a moment to pray for my family during this time of disaster. the death toll from the earthquake, according to reports from the Red Cross, is 12,000 and climbing in SL alone. my mom's family is fine because they live inland...we were able to get ahold of my uncle, so we know they are all ok. my dad's family is another story. my dad is in the East Coast right now visiting some family friends and army buddies. But he's been calling me trying to get all his SL phone numbers to see if his family is ok. My dad's entire family lives oceanside so we are very worried. None of the land lines he tried are working, and we're now trying all of the cell phone #'s we have. So far we have not been able to reach any of his family. My grandma, my aunt, my uncle, and all my cousins live literally 10 feet from the affected coastline. Their backyard is the ocean. It didn't really hit me until today how serious this is, probably because my dad's not here and so I haven't been watching the news as much and I haven't seen him scrambling to get ahold of his family. Right now, there's not much I can do accept pray and ask others to pray. However, I got some information from my second cousin about relief efforts and I'm trying to get involved. I'll get more details by the time school starts in hopes that many of you will donate whatever you can to help.

Please pray.

follow this link to my old journal to see the prequel:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/nimz/

so the journey contuinues on this new blog thing. damn it i've joined the bandwagon. the added features like pictures and chatterboxes are cool, but can we do private entries if we want to?? i dunno, still trying to figure all this out...but hopefully once i do, this will be a kick ass blog.

coming soon:
-pics of the anniversary trip (but how do you post a bunch of pics on one entry rather than each pic posting as a separate entry??)
-pre/post perm pics...no, still not over it
-music min and BC pics
-and maybe a non-generic template

'til then, go to BENEFIT CONCERT and God bless!!
