| So I sent my boss an e-mail and closed it with "peace" since I thought that I was cool enough to do that. I get a reply e-mail from my boss with this closing:
Smile
Joy and Happy
HAHAHA WHAT?!
I'm never going to try and act cool when I try to e-mail my boss again. 
Anyway, it's time for me to work so I can play Lego Batman later.
peace

| Sunday was my belated birthday party! The day started with church, then dim sum with my family, then home for some episodes of CSI (Law & Order is never on when I want it to be), and then ALL YOU CAN EAT KOREAN BBQ!
Lots of my friends visited, some I haven't seen for a while. It was great! Nobody got burned from the oil or anything! Seaweed salad, lots of meat, and then some soup. They wouldn't let me pay, but I still had to pay for my sister because she is little and doesn't have a job. HA! That's my trick, invite my sister so it doesn't seem like I'm a mooch... although I guess that makes my sister a mooch... but we share everything anyway so it doesn't count.
After eating, everybody went to my house to play Cranium. Of course my team would be the "closest" to first place AGAIN. I say closest because we never finished the game and SOME people will never admit to my team winning (you know who you are...). We were too busy watching the Amazing Race and watching the Harlem Globetrotters struggling to figure out that short hand on the 8 and the long hand on the 7 on the watch meant the lock combination was 835 and not 87*insert random number*. The gold math part was the best, they were way faster than the other groups on that (well, since it's edited I guess it would seem faster) and a lot smarter because they ASKED for a calculator instead of trying to do it by hand. The one group that brought their own calculator didn't even know how to figure that out. Go Globetrotters! I love you because of the old Scooby Doo episodes and the old Globetrotters super hero show.
For my gift, I got this America Idol singing game for the Wii. I thought it was a season box set at first because the box has a microphone in it and I was kind of thinking, "Uh... I don't watch American Idol... just America's Best Dance Crew..." And then it was like "OH IT'S A GAME!" Yes, I can't wait to try it out. Maybe for Halloween, I will bring it to my friend's house and we can play it for the party.
My other gift was Lego Batman for the Wii. This was a great gift because I've been meaning to get this for a LONG time, I just kept forgetting to. The first time I saw the game, it was a demo at Wal-Mart. I was punching bad guys and collecting coins, but there was this one baddie that just wouldn't give me any coins! Turns out I was punching Robin. My sister thought it was the most hilarious thing ever. So yes, even if I never open this game, it will still be very sentimental to me.
THANKS EVERYONE FOR SUCH GREAT GIFTS AND A GREAT PARTY!

| Been busy lately, not doing much, but here are some highlights of stuff that happened!
Last week while I was driving to work, I saw the Oscar Meyer Wiener-Mobile on the freeway! It was going faster than me because I was behind a huge truck.
Today I went to a performing arts center. I went to go use the bathroom and it was weird because:
______________
| | | | D- doorway
|women | | men|
|__ D __| |_ D _|
| wtf a gap? |
|__ D ____ D __|
Sorry for such a shoddy diagram :p
Basically there's 2 doorways in the front, one with a Women's Bathroom sign and another one with a Men's Bathroom sign. You walk through either one of the doors and end up in the same room which has another set of open doors to the women's and men's bathrooms.
And that's the most interesting stuff that's happened to me :p

| Today I was driving my sister to her practice when some guy decides to jay walk across the street. I had brake really hard and it made the tires screech. The guy looks angrily me and I suppose he's yelling or something, but I can't hear a word that he's saying because all the windows are rolled up. As he just stands there, supposedly still yelling at me/the world/whatever, I decide to drive away because there are cars behind me and this guy doesn't seem to be walking any time soon since the cars on the other side of the street are coming. As I drive away, I wonder if I did anything wrong while my sister goes, "What the heck? Why is he yelling at us when we stopped for him? He shouldn't have been walking with his head down in the first place!"
After I dropped her off, I started to think about what I did and what I could've done:
I noticed that this person was going to jay walk earlier, so should I have slowed & stopped to let him pass (therefore slowing traffic since it was really close to a 4 point stop light) or should I have sped up before he could walk pass me? If I slowed down and stopped, then I would've made the cars behind me wonder what was all the hub-bub was and made them angry. If I sped up, there was a chance that I could've hurt the guy or missed the guy. Since there's a chance of hitting him, it's not a chance I was going to take at all. Maybe what pissed the guy off was how suddenly I stopped, implying that I did not see him and could have hit him. I guess his defense mechanism for fear was to get angry. Who knows?
While I'm driving back home, I thought I saw the guy again walking towards the direction where I lived (which was a good distance away from where I almost hit him). And then I started getting mad:
"scene of the almost-crime"
|S| | || | |S| S - street
|S| | || | g |S| g - guy
|S| | || x | |S| x - me
|S| | || | |S| = - crosswalk
================
He was so close to the crosswalk, why couldn't he have just crossed at the crosswalk!? I swear, he would've saved everyone around us so much stress! Me for driving the car, my sister for being in the car and almost seeing someone get hit, him for almost being hit, other cars and people on the street for wondering WHY IS THERE A SCREECHING SOUND? AM I IN DANGER? IS ANYONE HURT?
Are people so lazy because they refuse to use the crosswalk no matter how close it is? I mean, he didn't even have to cross the street at the time that I almost hit him! I passed by at least 3 other crosswalks from where I was about to hit him to where I supposedly saw him again.
Ugh, this isn't the first time I almost hit a jay walker before and I pray that it will be the last time. This is why I hate driving: people are idiots, even me. I make stupid mistakes on the road that can potentially get me and someone else killed. Whenever I make a mistake, it just kills a lot of self confidence so I don't want to drive again. I always feel like I'm making a mistake whenever someone honks their horn even when it's for someone else because sometimes you have no idea who is honking at who. My dad says, that I have to learn to react faster and the only way to do this so through experience. Maybe the lesson for today is to drive slower and let jay walkers feel entitled to walk wherever. I know they have the right of way, but they shouldn't get mad when they almost get hit for doing something illegal.
I think I'm going to watch some Law & Order if it's on right now.

| I've been feeling really bored and frustrated lately. It always goes from one extreme to another and right now I'm feeling extremely bored. Sometimes I wish that I didn't get a job right away after finishing summer school since I still feel a bit burned out. Knock on wood, I don't want to get fired :p The job itself isn't so frustrating, it's just all these expectations I have for myself and the expectations from my boss. I don't think I should be feeling so frustrated and anxious since it's only part-time work, but it's not like I can help how I feel so I just have to suck it up.
When I don't have work, it gets really boring around here. There's usually nothing good on TV except Law & Order and CSI. I love those shows, but it's all re-runs to me now. I used to watch NCIS, but it's been re-run after re-run. Some of the episodes have pretty decent re-watch value though. I started watching Bones, but I put it on "pause" for now.
You know what? I should really start catching up with my comics! Yeah... I think I'll do that now.
