Hi Xanga. Someone told me i need a new picture. there you go.... I'll be back later to write more.
It's been one week into school.... My classes are okay. I have people I know in most of my classes so that's a good thing, except for my math class. It's great to be back at school and getting back into the routine mode. I see many new faces, can't wait to meet them. Also, seeing familiar faces bring back memories from last year too. Although there are some that are doing well playng hide-and-seek with me. Anyways... hope to see yal soon. Can't hide from me forever!

Calling Passed Up
so was I supposed to be a nun?
Sometimes I feel like I should of stayed in the convent and become a Nun, But I learned from So Dang that I belong where I am holy. I think the convent would make me holy, but This is where i belong, i feel at peace and more holier than I ever thought i ever would be, without the convent lifestyle. Sometimes people say that i have the qualities to be a wonderful nun, but i believe that i can make a bigger difference living in the real world. If a person approach a Nun they would not open up to me like they are opening up to me now. I could help them on a different angle than a actual nun would. Sometimes It's easier for people to talk to regular people like me about faith because a nun can't relate to us, Because we don't have time for prayer and christian work or being holy. I'm not saying Nuns have it easier being more holy than us, (Trust me -it's harder for them) but for us it's not easy either. It helps to know that other people like us can talk about god as much as a nun or priest can without being one. So, I beleive that I am meant to be the person I am today.

I pray to my dear lord that I will make it through college so that one day I can become a good dentist. If I majored in something like nursing or radiology, I'd probably be working by now or something better than still attending school. But I think about it again, And I feel that I'm doing the right thing, because I believe that I can do better than that. What if one day I look back and thought, If i'd stayed in school for higher education, I would probably be a doctor or something. So I don't want to have any regrets and go through all four years and college, (plus some more if I need it) so that i can be very Proud of myself and not having to look back and said "I should have Tried." I'm getting old and life is NOT getting easier. Dear lord guide me through the next two years of college so that I may accomplish my goal to get itno Dentistry schoool. Right now, I would love that to happen. But May your will be done, either way, just guide me on the right path, as long as i'm doing good in school, I'll be happy. Help me through the tough times and never let me forget what's important.Thanks for helping me get through school all this time. And the times i've lost faith, you still let me find a way back to you. I Love you Forever!!!

Washed Car
I washed the van today. It smells really good now! Usually it smell like my work place. Like Bleach, Fish and Oil mixed all together or something like that. So, I bought Febreeze, the special formula for automobiles. It smells like a new car everytime I go in now. And the feeling with getting inside a new car is so..... amazing. So now, everytime I leave the car, I spray a couple of times. So that the next time, When I open the car door, the smell hits my face and makes me feel happy! I get inside and drive in a happy mood. and I really don't care if there's a slow driver in front of me and even if I'm late and stuck in traffic. LOL!!
Wow, this makes me want to have a new car. But I'm really statisfied with the van. It's my mom van really, but she lets me drive it since I can't drive the big Tundra everyday to school. So she takes it to work instead and let me have the van. Hehehe... I wonder if this year my brother would let me take his car to school. I wouldn't mind driving an G35 infiniti to school. Although it would be extra stressful to take good care of it. Nah, I'm gonna stick with the van. Crazy Huh?! Anyways, my dad did ask me if I wanted a new car, but I said that I can wait.until Hong gets married, because we have too much cars in the parking lot. Sometimes I hate wasting time reversing the cars to get out in the morning for school. Anyways, I'm trying to save up for a car. It'll take some time because I always spend it on things that comes up. My sisters said I'd look good in a Jetta. But I can careless what I drive. Just as long as It can go. What yal think I should Drive?

Flat Tire
Goodness Gracious!! My first experience of having a Flat Tire!!! It happened on my way home from work. The car swirved a little and I couldn't control it for about 3-5 seconds and I slowed down immediately. I didn't hear anything blow up so I just thought that the wind knocked me off my course a little and I couldn't control my speed or something. After I slowed down I got control of the car again and drove slowly home. I had to drive a friend home too! Her life and my life was at risk. My heart was beating so fast because that never happened to me before. Thank God we got home safely.
I didn't found out, until Wednesday morning, that it was actually a flat tire. So, my older sister, Hong, said that I had to get the spare tire and change it. I was like Freaked out because I didn't know how. She never done it herself either. She only looked at people who did it before. So, I stop freaking out and told Hong that I'd do whatever it takes to get it fixed. So we went to the car and got the spare tire out. That was easy. Taking out the wheels was a tough one. We had to stand on the wrenchy thingy and jump to make it loose by holding on the the rail on top of the van!!! Good thing I'm not a light girl, because I wouldn't be able to get the bolts loose. LOL! Then we got the jack and take turns turning it until the van was high enough to take out the flat tire. Then we slip on the spare and did the opposite with the big fat bolts. Wow! I couldn't believe we Did it! It was funny how my grandma came out and said that we couldn't change it and that she would go to our neighbors house to get a "Guy" to help. It took us about 15 minutes to figure it out and got it done. Hong siad that we were like tomboys. There was no need of a guy! We left to Sam's to get new tires before she got back with a guy. LOL! Anyways, I know how to change a flat tire now. I'm Proud of myself!
