My baby Intuos3 has finally come into this world, after much patience and anticipation! And it's just what I wanted! Granted it's second-hand, and I don't know if its previous home treated it well. The pen it came with is a bit nibbled up and the nib itself needs to be replaced, but that's not a hassle! As long as the tablet is not scratched up too much itself, I know it will be fine. Finally, I put my dear Graphire4, which has served me well all these years, to rest.
May I put you to the best of use, Intuos <3

twenty-two
I went to school on my birthday, I had no choice =( and ended up staying over an hour after class for my stupid group work stuff. I kinda dilly daddled after that and saw the Illustration Show briefly, then finally walked to my car. I turned the corner and found red carnations and a Happy Birthday balloon on my windshield. <3
I worked that night even though I had asked for it off! But it was okay because my coworkers wrote me a card and Mona baked me Reese's Fastbreak CUPCAKES! They were delicious. And Rus was working too =)
In the lunchroom, he gave me a present and a card and said that I could only open one. I asked, between the gift and the card? No, the gift was more than one inside the first wrapping. He said I could only unwrap one today, and another tomorrow, and the last the day after; and that I will be tantalized to open both. So I said "Okay!" and opened the box. The moment I untaped it I saw two smaller boxes inside wrapped as well and I knew I just used one "unwrap permit" today. DANG! This guy's good. I shook the two boxes to guess what was inside and freaked him out. Haha! I guessed it was fragile and therefore must be glass! And kinda big, but flat, because of the box's dimensions. All he said to everything was "maybe!"
That night I read the card and it had some cheesey Hallmark poem, and he wrote, "Happy birthday Anh! Dinner Saturday night?" =)
The next day I unwrapped one package and found a very familiarly shaped box. I opened it to find (gasp!) an opalite spiral! How! What! Where when why! So this is why I'd be tortured about opening the second box! A pair of opalite spirals, he really knows me!
Saturday I opened the second box and tried them on. They're just gorgeous. That night, he took me out to dinner at Tantalum and it was very delicious and fancy. Our main dishes were garnered with an orchid flower each, which I proceeded to eat a petal off mine. It was kinda tasty! Haha. He also got me another bouquet of carnations, and his parents gave me a birthday card too! We took a walk after dinner and spent the rest of the night with each other.
You're amazing.

2010 Reflections
It's a Friday night, and New Year's Eve is soon arriving.
I have a couple of hours of stillness before I head out with the work crew to celebrate, let me reflect a little on 2010 and what has come and gone while listening to John Mayer's 'Slow Dancing in a Burning Room.'
Relationships
I spent most of 2010 paired with Jake. I don't regret having been with him, and I don't regret having ended it. Every time I leave a relationship I learn a little more about who I am and what I want, what I need from my partner, what I need in the relationship and secured for the future.
From this relationship, I've learned that getting involved with someone romantically means getting involved with their family as well, it's inevitable. And though my partner's personality or lifestyle may not be totally and completely derived from his family, he will always have been influenced by them somehow. I've also learned that what they do now gives me a pretty good idea of what they will be doing in the future. It's rare for anyone's life to completely change, or even make a good turnaround. Usually, they will just follow the path they've already set for themselves some years ago. I've learned from past relationships that I don't want a partner too attached and clingy, who's a bad kisser, and is self-belittling; someone who gives all his heart from the start without knowing what he's headed for, too serious about life, and awkwardly nice; a boy who does not grow up, only wants to have fun, will go out of his way to make his fun, and is treated as a boy by his family with these reasons so obvious to me, yet he could not see; one who has a self-image problem, and doesn't take enough initiative to change his lifestyle, who loves love too much... the list goes on, and will go on as long as I know who I am and what I want.
But enough with the relationship rant, teeehee.
Some fun things that have happened recently...
1) I wore my giant 6g nose ring to Kula with Phuong, and Sushiboy struck up conversation with me about it, and about his teeny 14g one haha. Phuong left him my number but he was on break, as we saw walking out the place, and didn't get it... THANKFULLY, LISA AND PHUONG WENT TO KULA THE VERY NEXT DAY and Lisa brought me up. He asked for my name and Lisa left him my number again at the table. Too bad I've not heard from him, he seemed cute, although I can't say for sure what he looked like anymore :(
2) I met Jamie last semester, and she's such a cool chick. She invited me to her Thanksgiving kickback, I went by myself and was pretty intimidated at first but ended up making a few friends. I went to lunch with one, DM, and though I thought he was interesting at first I no longer think so. I still owe a lunch date with DB so I will try to carry that out, but I think their lifestyles are real turn-offs. Maybe I'm just not into the richer guys who have free time to do pot. I don't have anything against them for doing it, and hearing them talk about it is interesting somewhat, but that's not what I want for myself..
3) I've been seeing straight-edge instead. I thought the Christmas wrapping was just about the best thing ever. He's definitely getting to me lol.
Work
I'm still working at Walgreens with everyone who originally started at this store. Jeanette was let go some time ago, I'm not sure if this was in the past year. Not a great loss at all, tbh lolol. Losing John was rather unfortunate though. I feel like, with the way I card smokers, I might get caught in their stupid traps too. :/
In addition to Walgreens I also work as a graphic designer! I think this has been the most exciting thing to happen to me in a long long time. It happened so suddenly, too!
Apparently, Chi Ti and Burroughs were having brunch at nearby tables when Burroughs overheard Chi Ti mention that she knows someone who could design her Bicyclist Club's shirts. Burroughs, having been looking for new designers for her small business, came over to the cyclist table and gave Chi Ti her card.
I've been working for her ever since, making whatever small businesses come to her for: business cards, banners, flyers, pamphlets, magnets... I also work on her personal line of pet-themed collectibles. She's a sweet lady, and giving me a raise soon! I'm excited for what 's in store for me =)
School
I didn't do so hot last semester, I got almost all B's save one A and one D!!! It was a Carlos class, sigh. I got an A in enameling though! I thoroughly enjoyed Susanna's class, and hope to take at least one more metals class while I'm still here.
I've decided to go through with the BFA program. I'm gonna work on my portfolio given the chance, and apply for the program hopefully by next year. I hope to graduate in two years, with two degrees. I'm excited and anxious for the future! Teacher? Illustrator? Designer? No one knows.
Memorables
Over the summer I worked with a group of art students and community service volunteers on a mural in Stanton. It was a fairly large wall, standing at 14 feet tall and 60 feet wide. I worked on it with Jake, too, and so his name will be along mine on the wall for as long as the painting stands. It looks adorable, I love the colors and the message. I drew all the people! =)
I've picked up an interest in ceramics and fabrics, LOL. I want yarn now more than ever, and want to learn foreals how to make stuff! I don't really wanna do more ceramics but I keep an eye out for unique ceramic things, like this adorable set of half-cups that form one mug together. It looks like it was made cheap, but I got it at Goodwill for cheap anyway lol, and it's just so adorable!
I love hanging out with Phuong Lisa and Tuan. Of course Tuan is not usually here, so we 3 girls tend to have our own fun most of the time. We all have very different goals for the future and schedules but make it all work to get that coffee and tea, and those damn pastries. 85C adventures, errands, The Office, whatever it may be, I love it all. I love my friends!
I've stopped stretching my lobes for a bit, the cold weather had been really harsh on them. While they heal and stay content at 0g, I've been working on my septum piercing instead. I'm at 4g now, and not looking to stop any time soon. I'd like to reach at least 0g there. I'm contemplating what other piercing to get... but I guess I will know in 2011 8)

On School, Love, Friends, Work
School
All final grades are posted; I got straight B's... + 1 A! WOOHOO?
I need to step up my game. I did better than I had feared, but I know I could've done better. I know I could've!
I don't usually get to go on vacation but this winter break, it's on! Hooray for the traveling Tran sisters, roundtripping from LB > Boston > NY > Boston > Spain > France > (European train trip!) > France > Boston > home =)
I will miss everyone. I will miss Jake dearly. He's been with me for what feels for so long I don't really remember the single days, haha. And honestly, for the first time in a long time (in a relationship), I don't miss those days. I'm happy where I am, with whom I am with.
Love
You know hon, things have been so so very good with us I just can't imagine why it would ever go bad. It's a very optimistic view, I know, but isn't that a good thing? Isn't that how it should be, to be hopeful for us, whether we are in a good or bad situation? Always have heart and always have hope for love to grow. I like where we are heading, I love the way it feels.
Friends
I love my friends =) the ones that I have held onto for the past several years.
Phuong, you're so funny and natural, and gross because you're too natural sometimes, but we get along amazing, bff. Thank you for the very thoughtful gift. I now know what it's like to get a tattoo you don't like and have it stay on forever. But hey, it finally washed off!
Tuan, you are my bff artsy fartsy buddy and I love you for it! Thank you for the very heartfelt card. I think this is the first time I've gotten you nothing. I will make up for it promise!
Lisa, you're as natural as Phuong, I love that about you girls. You're easy-going and hilarious and thoughtful. Thanks for sharing your pass with me whenever you could, I really appreciate it. Must get you something in return.
Anthony, I haven't seen as much of you lately as I have had in the past, but we're still good buddies and I love that. Sometimes I wish things were like how they used to be, but as for yourself, please don't ever change.
Rosie, we haven't hung out much more either... =( I often think about those times, those very hilarious nights out we had so many of, to drown our boyfriend-less lonelinesses. But look what happened! We are both taken now, and taken away from each other. Hopefully we will get to hang out more, cos I wanna go back to Mochilato this summer!
Annelee, you're too cool for me. And things have been very rough for you lately, I hope 2010 brings sunnier days. Things are looking good right? I mean, I get the feeling that you don't believe you can get whatever cutie you want but lookie loo, you're getting all kinds of cuties wanting to call you up and go out with you, and you're turning them down. HAHA. I'll be seeing you soon roomie!
I've made a few friends here and there and I think the newest person I think I could have a good solid friendship with would be Ichi-Noodles. We'll see though, I guess!
Work
The workplace just hasn't been as pleasant as it used to be when it first opened, or when Ethan was around. Kassem is hated, everyone wants everyone else to call the hotline so that he can get transfered outta here. GET OUTTA HEA! People are jealous of others because of favoritism; this person is getting more hours, this person is more privileged because of such and such, blah blah blah. GET OVER IT! Improve yourself, maybe you will get those privileges.
Customers give me headaches, what with all the coupon-system-cheating and whatnot. SIGH. Please, just get your item and go! No, I will not ring you up at my counter because Register1 told you you've reached the item limit. GO HOME! GO! HOOOMEE!
I'm gonna go to France soon, I'm so excited,... but for now, I'm going to bed. Goodnight, world.

Nice to meet you, Miss Sherani.
Today is the very, very last day of Thanksgiving break. Did I get any homework done? Hardly. But it's been a really good week... =)
Monday: AAHHH first day of break! Hold on, AnneLee calling. What? We have class today? You sure? Fuck it, I'm not going! Personal furlough day.
Tuesday: I should start on homework today =X. What, Ruby? We still had to go to the middle school? Ah shiet, sorry girls! Personal furlough day! sorri sorri sorri!
Besides those two mishaps.. A lot of good has happened! Went to eat crawfish with Phuong (her treat!), then Passion Yogurt (her treat too!) where I tried the condensed milk with the stuffs, SO GOOD, then whatever whatever... Another day, ent out with Phuong and Lisa to Outer Limits (Anaheim) to meet her artist and set her design straight, went to Flame Broiler with them to visit Anthony (but he was busy, and manager was there; my treat this time), went back to her place for some hair curling fun... Work, omg new manager :( he seems alright so far, but maybe it's cos I don't have a job of much importance (and I'm only there 2x a week) so I don't notice that he bosses everyone around and tells them to change a lot of things and keeps springing up new projects on them. It's all hearsay so far.
Ethan moved to a higher volume store in LB. John told me that Ethan wanted to transfer to his store. I saw opportunity, I told Jake that maybe if he transferred to Ethan's store he could get promoted! I just told him that today and when he surprised me at work earlier, Allan told him the same thing! I am really hoping that he will. There's just so much more of a chance for a promotion that way than staying at his current store. If anything, he can always transfer back, right? But Opportunity, he is knocking, please answer him! (*crosses fingers*).
Oh yeah, Jake visited me at work today =) totally unexpected! I was ringing up a frustrating customer with a ton of shit, and she kept talking and talking and double checking those were all on sale or for coupons and blah blah and I turn around and I see my honey, looking so handsome ^.^! Too bad I was cashier =( and couldn't spend more time with him. He brought his nanai's puto for me. His nanai was in the car. LOL. Aw my sweetiee <3. I'm lucky. teehee!
Speaking of work, I met a wonderful person there today. I saw him walking around the store and took notice of his highly voluminous and gravity defying hair. Jealous! Lol. I rang him up at the front register and the conversation kinda went like this:
me: Heey, I like your hair! How do you get it to stay up like that??
him: Hairspray! You have to use hairspray, and you have to tease it!
me: Yeah! I tried doing that before even with shorter layers than yours but it wouldn't stay up! What brand do you use?
him: Oh I don't remember... it's in my car, let me go get it!
*rings up stuff*
*leaves*
*returns... with AQUANET!*
me: I knew it! I know it's good, people are always saying it's cheap but really good, I used to use it, but I use Aussie now.
him: Oh that's a really good brand! But yeah all you gotta do is spray a little bit, then tease it, then spray it again.
me: Yeah wow your hair is really nice and fluffy, I tried before but it wouldn't stay up for long, how long ago did you do your hair?
him: Oh like an hour ago, I usually wear a wig but I was in a hurry so I did this in the car using the rearview mirror, it really looks good?
me: Yes! Especially for using such a small, narrow mirror!
him: Thank you you're so nice! What's your name? *reads nametag* You're so nice! I'm so self-conscious about it but you make me feel better about it now.
me: You're welcome, I thought since I like it, I should compliment it and let you know!
....
His name is Sherani (spelling?). We shook hands, "nice to meet you!"
He said he will be back. I am looking forward to my new customer ;)
I'm getting better and better at selling! The other day I was ringing up a man who was buying just this one cheapo makeup set. I made him leave with that + 3 bottles of lotion + 1 bottle of body wash. MMM I R GOOD. And another man told me, as he and his wife were leaving, "You're a good saleswoman." THANK YOU SIR! EHEHEHEHE
....MMMMmmmm..... last puto!
Monday: AAHHH first day of break! Hold on, AnneLee calling. What? We have class today? You sure? Fuck it, I'm not going! Personal furlough day.

I made him leave with that + 3 bottles of lotion + 1 bottle of body wash. MMM I R GOOD. And another man told me, as he and his wife were leaving, "You're a good saleswoman." THANK YOU SIR! EHEHEHEHE
....MMMMmmmm..... last puto!

The Grove, LA.
Jake took me there yesterday and it looked lovely. We arrived pretty early, so we caught the 5:00PM showing of Ninja Assassin. I could tell from the trailers that it was a bloody movie, but the blood and gore and dismemberment of limbs blew me away... and backed me up into my seat. and into Jake's arm. Which I was holding onto for dear life HAHA.
Afterwards we took a little walk and had some fresh air. It wasn't all that cold, even though it was snowing! =) Snowing little puffs of foam, lol.
It was pretty crowded so we decided to go TGIF back in LB. Yummy yum yum! P:
We didn't have much time left over afterwards but just enough to enjoy ourselves before I had to go home. Such a good day, hon =) Thank you for a wonderful date =)

Today is Thanksgiving. What are you thankful for?
Family, friends, special person of mine, school, opportunities to be professional, learning new skills, a new work environment I actually like, ...
Speaking of which, I went out and blew a ton of money at Walgreens again. I think I spent like $100 there in the past week. IT'S CRAZY! It's like, I fucking work there for a day for free! At least at Big5 I was never interested enough in spending on anything... But make-up? Yummy smelling lotion? Candies? Junk-I-don't-need-but-it's-cheap? ARGH WALGREENS!! <3
On another noteOMG I'M FUCKING EXCITED FOR ALL MY JEWELRY TO COME HOME!!!
Anatometal gem eyelets, Tawapa flourish, gold eyelets, heart cut out eyelets, ETC ETC I'M EXCITED AS SHIT! AND IT AIN'T EVEN CHRISTMAS YET, HAPPY THANKSGIVING 'ERRBODY ROUND THE WORLD (US only)!

Lacking Motivation
Here I am, at Lisa's.
No tracing paper (where the fuck is my $10 new roll!??!), no available printer to do the overdue assignment...
At the time, I thought it would be smart to take all 15 units of art classes. After all, I'm almost done with GE, and my schedule would fit perfect, so why not?
Now I know it was a big mistake. I used to slack off in those much needed GE classes when I needed to concentrate on the important ones.
This time, they're ALL important.
I don't have my free-day-friday's anymore either, and working during the week sometimes often makes me lazy even lazier than usual.
I'm not doing so hot in any of my classes.
The reading ones are killing me, even though they are probably the easier ones.
I lack focus, energy, motivation. Can I get that in a bottle?
I'll invest in Red Bull this semester, I suppose.
Grade Prediction

300: B
301: B
Rendering: A
makes me feel a little better, but let's see if I can actually pull it off. Those are the best possible outcomes, after all >.>
hey boyfriend, i miss you. =)

too much too much
On my 3rd day of school now.
School every day 9AM-3:45 with an hour lunch break between classes. Every day! Monday through friday.
I also had to close at work last night and tonight as well. I don't get home til 1040 or so.
Jake came by to visit at work since school and work eat up my whole day. It was a really special night, I really like him.
Anyway I don't think we'll have much time for each other. He works full time, I go to school full time, work part time... still gotta make time for friends too of course. We'll see how things pan out.
On the subject of school, I'm still waiting to get into a class, but I'm 90% confident I'll get in. I just gotta wait til tonight to see if they've added me.
I should redo my whole room this weekend, I know I don't have a chance at getting serious about my classes until there's room on the floor to walk a straight path across. SHIT
shit shit shit. I gotta get my shit together. I should've done this a month ago.
at least I got paid, motherfucken yeessss, $540+, and still missing about a week's pay from last month =)!! TAX ATE LIKE $140 WTFWTFWTF I'M SO ANGRYSADFACE, TOO MUCH!
