Wow. I am so incredibly tired. It’s been a long day at UC Berkeley for UC Student Congress 2008. We flew in yesterday night, took a couple HUNDRED pictures (seriously, no joke), went to bed close to 2:30am, and then I woke up at 7:30am. ): I’m so tired of lacking sleep. For the first time in my life I actually appreciate sleep! Woah, I’m getting old.

New friends, lots of inspiration, so many ways to make a difference. This conference is until Sunday. Good stuff. Except I’m so damn tired!!

Ooh my friend Mark from high-school attends Cal and he’s here for the summer so we’ll probably be hanging out sometime tomorrow or Saturday. (: Yeyey!

Argh man… I have so many entries to type up… I don’t even feel like it. ): SOOO much work. It’s past the half year mark and I can’t believe NOW I’m getting lazy with this daily routine. It’s not even that hard. ):

Classes start Monday for me. I’m pretty stressed. My class schedule is way crazy. And two jobs. And just overall busy life. *sigh* Whatever, I don’t like to discuss THIS on my blog. I’m sensitive about it. Hahaha…

Night ya’ll.

Some pics for your entertainment:

I know I have my 101 goals in 1001 days, but occassionally I need to make goals impulsively. Maybe I just like to challenge myself, do something new all the time, or just maybe I’m a fickle and capricious person. No matter the reason goals keep me alive.

And I just remembered I can’t possibly kill myself (okay wow random I know! I’m not depressed at all atm, btw)… because I have a long-standing promise with both Elizabeth and Matthew. Not only do I have to be alive to wait for a particular phone call … and to make a call… (Uhm, my brain is tired… sorry if this makes NO SENSE.)

1. From July 2nd to August 2nd I’m going to eat vegetarian. No particular reason whatsoever. And I don’t care about animals/animal cruelty.
2. Starting next week I’m going to the gym three times a week with Gloria, Mayra, and Rona. And when they come back also with Sandy, David, and Hailey. The latter three are damn dedicated. (:
3. I need to read at least five books this summer to catch up with my whole “Read 12 books this year” goals… Books planned:
   • Need to finish Mount Misery asap. Argh, it’s just so long!
   • The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri: Volume 1: Inferno
   • The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri: Volume 2: Purgatorio
   • August Read on Online Literature Forum Book Club
   • September Read on Online Lit. Forum Book Club

And that is all. For now. #1 is a lil’ intense but I did it before so it’s not a big deal. Right now I’m gonna go get the keys to my apartment!! (:

I feel rather good about myself today. Imperfections and all. You know, acceptance. I like myself as a human today. Considering this, I am going to take this opportunity to identify 20 things I like about myself. This is one of my 101 Goals in 1001 Days and it’s about time this simple task was completed.

1. I like how pretty and pink my lips are.
2. I like how virtuous I am (and having a personal moral code and sticking to it).
3. I like the variety that is my music taste.
4. I like being so logical about other people’s problems, yet being able to empathize.
5. I like being so petite.
6. I like that I’m a Pisces (traits that supposedly come with the package - if you believe in that stuff).
7. I like the fact that I’m such a good listener. I appreciate this quality in myself a lot.
8. I like the way I dance.
9. I like my photography skills (even though there is room for improvement still of course).
10. I like being able to be really funny/silly and profound/serious; makes me very approachable for anything.
11. I like how cutesy I am (in all respects).
12. I like the fact that I make a lot of goals to live my life, AND follow through with them.
13. I like being bipolar - it adds some kind of depth somehow somewhere to my personality.
14. I like the way I accept being wrong, or accepting when I’ve made mistakes.
15. I like being able to feel as much as I do.
16. I like the way I do my makeup (I got skillz!).
17. I like it that I give people compliments all the time (and yes, I am sincere about it).
18. I like the way I’m growing up (maturing and the way I’m turning out as an adult).
19. I like having the ability to change people’s lives (for the better, I hope).
20. I like being so introspective and extrospective (also, being very observant).
