If I Ruled The World...

Tag Heuer Link Chronograph Watch

I want a watch. More specifically I want a Tag Heuer Link Chronograph watch. I've been on the lookout for one nearby because I don't trust buying things like jewelry online. I've been disappointed before, so I'm quite familiar with the feeling. It's just not sensible when what you're looking for easily costs $1,000+ and is such a rarity in stores because what happens is you waste your paycheck and the UPS guy delivers a tattered box from China. =/

The watch is supposed to be a gift from my parents for doing so well in school. My dad told me my mom wanted to get me some kind of tacky gold Omega watch, which I think was more for herself after he'd pointed it out. Not so sure about this watch, though. So far, it's only a candidate in the running to be part of my watch collection (I rarely wear jewelry, but almost always have a timepiece on hand). Anyway, I need a watch with the chronograph feature. That kinda stuff always comes in handy with the work I do.

Medium Hair Cut

I'm growing tired of my hair. My hair currently hits my inner elbows and bothers the heck out of me. Plus, upkeeping the fringe is a job all on its own. Let's be honest, I'm lazy in the morning. I need something that requires a little less maintenance. I used to be able to roll out of bed, not even having to brush my hair, and it'd look perfectly fine. At times I'd even get compliments and, to this day, I still wonder how the hell that was all possible. Now that it has gotten so long, I have get up, dampen it, blow dry or straighten the very ends, and apply some product. That is 30 minutes of valuable time that could be spent doing something of greater importance like sleep or homework. My solution is to chop it off. I'm considering a medium length cut like the one to the right since I have an oval face. Heck, I might even throw in some highlights if I'm feeling risky. I typically keep my hair all one color, but maybe it's time for a change.

And although summer is almost over, I'm still searching for a pair of Pierre Hardy gladiator sandals from Gap. I've only seen the ones with the little blue strip down the middle. I mean, they're okay, but I am literally dying to get my hands on a pair of these dark brown ones.   

Pierre Hardy for Gap

Aren't they lovely?

Anyway, I'm glad school is over so I'm getting a little break from summer sessions and waiting for the actual fall semester to commence in mid-August. I'm dreading taking 7 courses. That's 24 units, in case you're wondering. Six online courses and a Chemistry lecture/lab deal with the same Dr. H from last sem. I hope he remembers me because it would make a big difference in whether or not he replies to my discussion board posts. He's more likely to pay attention to you in class if you're a familiar face, so when Iyou've got a concerned look - he notices and directly asks if you understood the material. He's also more apt to give students a couple of "effort" points on exams when you answered incorrectly. Hopefully I can pass all 7 courses, I want an easy spring semester.  

To tell you the truth, I couldn't believe it myself. I've always been a big fan of Journey and now there's even more reason to like them - Arnel Pineda. He's the newest lead singer of the band and he's from the Philippines [Woohoo!], but I still say Steve Perry still rocks in my book. 

And I guess this makes up for the video I put up of Janina San Miguel winning the Miss Philippines Pageant. Oy.

Yet, again, I am the absolute definition of the term procrastination. I have exactly one day to write the most kickass essay of my life and I haven't even started yet.

T minus 24 hours.

I gave up on my stupid math class. I hated it and I dropped. I had no life for the past month all because I was working my ass off to make it in that class and I failed miserably. Seriously, there was absolutely no hope for me. I want to wallow, but then again I should at least pride myself in the fact that I actually tried. Oh, well. It means 24 units for the fall just to make the stupid transfer requirements. Mother effer - I'm going to try out for Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? Maybe not. We'll see.

I'm a little disappointed in myself. Math is my strong point, but the pace we were going at was overwhelming. We started out as a class of 40 and we've winded down to 14. And some of the people in my class have already dropped, but are just showing up to get the jist of it. How sad would it be if it turned out that I was the only person that was still enrolled AND I failed? I swurr, I'd feel even more like an idiot.

Moving on.

Tennis lessons are back and so are the two awkward brothers from last summer. One whines and the other, well, does nothing. They act like 5-year-olds when they're 12 & 14. The youngest kid in the class doesn't even cry when he gets hit by the ball, but one of the bros throws a fit when the ball gets too close to him. OMG, you're TWELVE! And his older brother completely grosses me out. He's fourteen and lazy as fuck. He never runs with the rest of the class, doesn't stay in line, and he sniffs his fingers after he pops his pimples. MAJOR GAG! I'm shuddering just thinking about it. And don't forget their body odor! It's not entirely tolerable, but it is four times the normal level thanks to the 100+ degree weather.

Three. More. Days.

What have you been putting off all weekend?

Studying for my stupid effing exam tomorrow.

Three reasons for me to be mad right now:

1. My homework assignment exceeded the time limit.
2. I got kicked off of Blackboard for maintenance.
3. Because I was kicked off, I only received 13 out of 22 points.

I just spent the last hour or so working on my homework assignment online as soon as I click "Submit," the screen refreshes to a "Down for maintenance" notice. WDF? Please, please, please tell me my shit was successfully saved and submitted because I seriously do not have to the time nor effort to do any extra credit work for this damn class. For now, I'm going to have to cross my fingers and pray that I get all the points for it. And, might I add, I was supposed to have been given a pop-up notice that I had one minute left and nothing happened. Screw you, Blackboard.

Oh, and Ana Ivanovic lost. Man.. hopefully one of the William's sisters can take home Wimbledon or at least have Jelena Jankovic and Svetlana Kuznetsova lose before the semis. I want Ana to stay numero uno! On the bright side, my boy, Janko Tipsarevic (yum!) is still in the game - eat your heart out Roddick.

I've done 4 out of 7 homeworks, which is pretty much everything except math. And I have a fucking quiz that I most absolutely need to ace just to give me a couple of measly points. I got a zero on the last quiz. =/ Boo-fucking-hoo. I think I'm going to stock up on Guava Juiced Rockstars tomorrow morning before class. I'm debating whether or not I should do my math homework now and sleep later or wake up @ 4 to watch the early rounds of Wimbledon and attempt to do it then. Maybe I'll do as much as I can now because I think I'm gonna be awake for a couple more hours. Ay.

For once, I positively absolutely hate school. For real. Screw you, Dr. She-who-shall-not-be-named!!! I hate your class and you can't teach for shit! Thank you for messing up my GPA!

So I've been putting all my senseless crap on a neighbors/friends only deal.

ONLY the TRUEST of peeps shall enter

and if I LURRVE you,

you're in. ;)
