Been a while!!! Not like a lot of people (if any) reads this haha.
Up...to buy or not to buy that is the question.
I guess I'm gonna snippet.
I have a minor busy day tomorrow. This pleases me. I enjoy being busy...to sit around and do nothing productive bothers me. Yet...I can't sit and study. Strange.
Almost done with the semester! YAY! or no Yay. It's a toss up.
Watching One Tree Hill. Why is there no Lucas and Peyton...it's just not the same, oh well.
Ate at a new restaurant that has the BEST rice ever! Yes I can tell the difference and if you took the time to notice, you might taste the difference as well! Ok, so I'm asian and it shows!
I believe I'm going to go do some A.T. tomorrow at practice. I need the hours, and what can I say? I love this stuff!
This is getting rather boring. I guess I should write my paper that's due in December muahaha~!!!
Ok this one is beyond Lame...peace and grease!

Sox II
September 3rd had to have been one of the saddest days of my life. My puppy of 14 years passed away due to Pancreatitis or maybe Pancreatic Cancer. All it took was one day and she was gone. Just like that, as quick as could be. Although I cried my eyes out for a majority of that day, I think I'm still in some disbelief. I guess you could say it hasn't exactly hit me. Some people may not understand how hard it is to lose your dog because some people see dogs as just animals, and maybe others have never had one, but for those who love their dog as a part of their family it's definitely tough. Thus, losing Sox was like losing a piece of my family.
I remember when I first got Sox. I was only around 8 years old, and my first dog (Sox the first) had been in an accident and passed. My grandma took myself and my cousin out to look for a new dog. We ended up at PetSmart. I remember looking around and my Grandma pointed Sox out to me. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted her because I thought she was going to grow up into a big dog. My grandma said if you don't want her then we'll just leave, and I couldn't leave her. I remember looking into the cage and she was with two other dogs who were playing and Sox was sitting quietly looking very timid in the back corner. We took Sox to see my Mom and Dad at their places of work to see if they would give the o.k. and they did. So my Grandma got me my second puppy.
Sox wasn't exactly a puppy, she was probably about a year or two already. I couldn't decided on what to name her. She was black and white just like my other dog, and the name Oreo came to mind. After a while it just didn't fit. So what better for a dog who had four little white paws than to name her Sox....the second. Either I lacked in creativity or it was just suiting.
When Sox first came home I remember we all thought something was wrong with her because she would just sit on the step in our house and stare. Needless to say, it creeped us out a little bit haha. But after a while she got used to us and well...she became the Sox we all know and love.
I've had Sox for more than half my life. She was there for everything and I basically grew up with her. I mean I was only 8 and I'm now 22. It's a large amount of time. So it's hard to imagine the rest of my days without her. I still think she's here. Right now it's like she's sleeping under my bed like she always did when it was bedtime. When I wake up, I expect her to be laying in the most random spot on my floor, and following me to the bathroom. I expect her to run down the hall before me and head to the kitchen because she knew I was going to make my breakfast for the morning. And when I come home I expect her to be waiting for me with the other two dogs on the otherside of the door when I walk in. When I sit in the computer room I still think she's under the computer desk sleeping, or when I eat at the table she'll be by my side begging for something to drop. That persistent dog who could sit under a cutting board for hours patiently waiting for something to fall from the sky. I'll miss that.
I'll miss a lot of things about her. I'll miss how happy she would be when we'd say "Walk walk" because she loved walks. I so much wish that I had taken her to the beach more because she absolutely loved it. She was a beach dog and I know she's a dog, but sometimes you can just see it in their face that they're loving what they're doing.
I guess the house seems quieter now without her barking at random things that she'd hear. And I don't hear her dragging her paws on our new wood floor in the house. There will be no more tedious hair cuts or baths for her. And I won't see her slipping and sliding everywhere after her bath. She may not have liked to cuddle and was a more independent kind of dog, but she was the best dog. She was my four legged best friend who has always been here and there for me through everything. It's hard knowing that when I wake up in the morning, I won't find her anywhere. So maybe for some you can't understand what it's like, and it may sound completely silly that I write this about a dog. But to me Sox wasn't just my dog, she was a companion, best friend, and everything that that little 8 year old girl could have asked for.
May she Rest In Peace...and hey All Dogs go to Heaven right....but Sox...stay out of the garbage!!! :p

I'm gonna eat Pizza Yo!
Why Ello good people...I find myself at a road block in how to even start this blog...lame. We'll start with the beach!
Yesterday my mom and I took the kids (my two pups Sox and buffy) to the beach. Sox as experience has shown...loves the beach. I've been wanting to take her cause she simply comes alive...she seems generally happy. We went to San Simean...a beach I haven't gone to...it was nice I liked it. The weather was nice...better than this 90 degree stuff. We got on the beach and I ran Sox into the water and she had a blast. Buffy on the otherhand...not a huge fan of water haha. We only stayed for a little bit.
Then we ventured a little further down the road to see the Elephant Seals which are not the cutest creature on this earth haha. But I did like the seals. They were pretty cute.
Anyhoots...we ate a nice little restaurant with an ocean view and then headed on back home. Overall fun great quick trip! Up next...well...i'm still working on Six Flags haha. We'll See!!
So today I started off the day with a P90X workout...I was in pain haha. I felt good afterwards...my arms were tired, but oh well. I also caught the WPS playoff game between the Washington Freedom and Sky Blue FC. This game was awesome in the second half with all three goals being scored. It got pretty intense towards the end. Natasha Kai was definitely a spark off the bench scoring a goal and coming oh so close to another. Sky Blue won it defeating the Freedom for the first time of the season...and then they play St. Louis Athletica next week I believe. Now I'm watching the Bandits play the Thunder in Softball. Bandits up 1-0. I'm awaiting the Carano/Cyborg fight. I bought the fight online since I don't have showtime. It's gratefully cheaper than pay per view and cheaper than a ticket and gas to go to San Jose...so I'm pleased. Hopefully it's good quality though.
That's all for now, i'm pretty bland right now haha. But oh well. I have a week of lovely vacation left before H-E-double L's starts...by that I mean school and by school I mean a crazy schedule and Physiology. Woot!

Perseid Meteor Shower and Soccer
So last night was one of the nights to catch the Perseid Meteor Shower. I haven't seen one, and was actually looking forward to it: NERD STATUS haha. I waited until about 12 packed up my pup in a backpack haha and headed up to the roof and sat till about 2. Within that time I saw 11. So I'm not complaining, but I had hoped that it would have been a little more miraculous. Maybe I called it "quits" too early. It did look a little hazy so maybe I didn't see all the ones that flew by. Overall, it was ok...maybe I'll give it another go tonight. ORrrrr maybe not!
Just finished watching the World Cup qualifying game between the US and Mexico...we hung in there till Mexico took the lead and won 2-1. I must say...it got a little rowdy, but who's complaining? Sessy men scuffling?? hahah. Boy those fans are rowdy too, a little horrible in my opinion simply because I may be too goody goody...but throwing cups at the players on the field...c'mon!!!
I guess today's a lazy/sports day...i'm watching Full House awaiting some softball Rockford/Chicago to come online. Vote on whether Softball's back in the Olympics for 2016 is tomorrow! Back Softball!!!
I need a "better" life haha. Beach this Friday...I'm excited...Six Flags next week I think...even more excited! Hope everyone's having a great day..this post was lame but whatevers.

Jajajjaja
So after wondering what the heck my google account sign in stuff was...I finally figured it out...thus I am able to post again...not like anyone reads this stuff right? So here's a quick update:
Summer so far:
-Read three books
-Put in wood floors
-Painting the walls of the house
-Redecorated my room (actually took stuff down)
-Went to San Francisco
-Watched my first WPS game (FC Gold Pride vs. Washington Freedom)
-Had Fight Night this past Saturday
-Currently awaiting the weekend to head to the beach
-Wanting to go to Six Flags with mi bfff!
Ok...all caught up...right? Sure. I'm now watching Jon and Kate plus 8...I still don't know why I like this show, but I do. I saw Julie & Julia with my mama this past weekend...LOVED IT! It was good...Meryl Streep did a great job as Julia Child...I laughed. I finally started to draw again...I guess I just needed some type of muse. I found one...this will be my second softball player (Jessica Mendoza was the first) that I draw. I think I should do a soccer player next...which I'm guess might be Natasha Kai. Maybe I'll draw a dude...I guess I think girls are easier to draw :/ Is that true? I have no idea. So I estimate this drawing to be finished sometime soon...I hope.
Lemme talk a little about fight night...it was great! The fights...were so so. But the main event was worth it. I love BJ Penn...he did his thing against KenFlo and needless to say I was happy. Kenny bugged me when he fought Roger Huerta cause his strategy of hit and RUN around in circles around the octagon was annoying. Although when you think about it...it was smart, but c'mon. So I enjoyed watching BJ submitting him. I felt incredibly embarrassed for Forrest Griffin. And the rest of the fights...geesh. And yes, that one fighter looked like a manly Perez Hilton haha!
So school starts up in a couple weeks...and I'm not looking forward to it. Mainly because I'm taking Physiology which is basically a grade/GPA suicide class. I passed anatomy, but Phys is supposed to be tons harder especially here at State. Oh well. I will try. Hence my classes are fairly...easy classes.
Ok, so this will be all for now. If I remember I'm gonna put up some pictures from the beach. We're taking my puppy Sox to the beach cause I know she loves it there. We're leaving Buffy at home though which I'm sure she won't be pleased, but I feel Sox needs a special day. So until next time folks!

Linda's a Homewrecker!
Ok...so I can't get over this story about the same sex penguin couple Harry and Pepper from the San Fracisco Zoo. I actually never even heard of them until after watching Regis and Kelly this morning to find that they have split up. How sad! Apparently the couple even incubated an egg and took care of it...which of course wasn't their egg (it was actually Harry's half sibling I guess). Then comes this lady Penguin Linda. Her partner had passed away I believe and soon after began to court Harry and what do you know...Harry switched teams leaving poor Pepper by himself! So in essence...Linda you're a homewrecker! hahahah. Oh the Animal Kingdom...it amazes me sometimes. Who knew?!

1999 Women's World Cup
There's something special about today...today marks the 10 year Anniversary of one of the greatest female sporting events win ever in front of one of the biggest crowds, the Women's World Cup! On July 10, 1999 the US Women's National Soccer team were set to take on China in the finals set in The Rose Bowl in front of 90,000 fans and millions on t.v. Many people may only remember it for Brandi Chastain's penalty kick victory celebration, but it was also a momentous moment for women's soccer and in particular the US Women's National Soccer Team. I remember that day so clearly I 11 years old sitting in the dining room and glued to the television. I will admit, at that time I was a newcomer to the team and had only seen a few games on ESPN prior to the tournament. During that time Brandi Chastain was my favorite player along with Shannon MacMillan. I remember sitting anxiously awaiting the PK's after a full 120 minutes went by. I cheered after Carla Overbeck made her shot, then Joy Fawcett, Kristine Lilly, Mia Hamm, and then finally Brandi Chastain. I specifically remember after Brandi made her PK I ran into the kitchen and screamed to my mom:
"Mom we won!!! Brandi went up for a penalty kick and then she took her jersey off!" hahaha. It was a great moment and one that definitely left a mark in my memory.
There were so many other moments from the whole tournament that I won't forget. It's the little things that maybe some people don't remember. Like Brandi's own goal...then coming back in the 2nd to tie up a game against Germany. Then the goal by Joy Fawcett from a Shannon MacMillan corner which won a bet against Kate Markgraf (Sobrero) which caused her hair to be dyed Red. Or Tisha Venturini's backflip goal celebration. Even in the finals Lil's header that took a chance away from the Chinese as well as Bri's save during one of China's pk shots. All of it was just a pure show of soccer and women's soccer for that matter. What can I say? Each one of those players created history and put women's soccer on the map. It's a shame they didn't get the same response/respect in 1991. This '99 team I will never forget, and although the teams and newcomers to play for the US are just as amazing, the team itself will never be the same than that 1999 Women's World Cup Champion team.
Happy WWC'99 Anniversay soccer fans!!!
Just a side note: I think they should replay the World Cup today just because it has been 10 years...c'mon! haha Ah I miss this team :)
