post-college phase

yippee yayyy I've graduated with a bachelor's degree in chemistry on May 28, 2010! =D

boy, that moment of happiness was brief, it ended as soon as I realized that wow, I have no fall classes to take anymore, it's really for real this time....so what am I going to do with this life? first, I really need to get a job.

But instead of looking for a job, I've been hanging out, eating out, and shopping more than usual. I watch as my green bills quickly drift away...

I've also been catching up with my beloved shows like LOST!

I've been following this show for the past 6 years for their 6 seasons. The finale made me teary eyed, and even tho the last episode didn't answer all the questions, like they ever do (which is the whole point tho), I went online to look up how the episode had been summarized and interpreted to gain a better understanding. I'm not sure I liked the ending or not, but I think they wrapped it up as best they could. I am so going to miss this show, and even tho the cast is one of the largest that any television network has ever seen, each and everyone of them had a meaningful purpose and acted really great and professional. This show wasn't about the mystery of the island, but the stories behind each character and I find this to be a really intelligent and creative show. Instead of giving you all the answers, it makes it so open to interpretation that you will be thinking about it for days, weeks, or even years to come. I don't know when there will be another show that has captivated my mind and heart like this one. *sniff-sniff*

time to finish FRINGE and the simpsons and other cartoons on FOX

I think my right ear may be infected or something cuz the area around the earring hole is bruised with a black-n-blue color and i feel a small lump inside  =/

living in a bipolar city

It was a nice day out today, but I must have froze 3 times over today. First, at my lab, there's always some kind of wind tunnel going outside my lab room and when the door is even slightly open, I feel the draft. Then when I went to my evening class, the ac was jacked up more than usual and I was so cold, i had to hug myself thru the entire lecture. Even my friend, who was wearing a jacket, felt cold. Then on the train ride home made me hate the F train even more cuz the newer, more modern ones treat the passengers like meat that needs to be over-frozen and to make things worse, no matter where I sat, i felt cold air blowing down the right side of my body and neck (even during the winter!). This was the only time I wished someone sat next to me so that i can steal body heat, but it was close to 9pm, and there are a lot fewer ppl on the trains. when i got home, i wore my faux-fur sweater and i tried to jog/walk/jumping jacks in place and did them as fast as i could in 10 mins. i just don't want to get sick...*prays for no runny nose*

i do wish i could be a reptile sometimes cuz i don't like being oversensitive to my surrounding's temperature. so i've tried many ways over the years to keep myself warm when i get cold. I was told to think of somethint warm when you're cold like the beach or something, but that was wasn't working for me. So I tried to think of who i have a crush on cuz thinking of the person you like is supposed to make your heart flutter or "skip a beat" and you get all warm and fuzzy, right? so it would be something like this...

well, not exactly that, but it kinda worked when i was imagining him sitting on the empty train seat right across from me, imagining what happened yesterday afternoon....

so i've had an infatuation w/ this guy for about a yr and half now, or 3 semesters cuz i forget about him when we don't have class together during the school breaks, hahas.  I know that he has class somewhere in the science building at 2pm and leaves to go to another class at around 3:15 pm (i know this cuz i accidently bumped into him and his classmates in the elevator one time). I was able to leave my lab early yesterday, so I was planning to coincidently bump into them again. but i left my lab maybe 10 mins late and didn't get to bump into them in the elevator. so I decided that as I was walking to the subway, I would take a detour through the building where his next class was held. but i only saw his classmates, and not him. As I was taking the escalator up, I was still hopelessly thinking of another way to see him, but he's a good student and always gets to class early or on time. When I reached the top of the escalator, many things happened in the next 5 secs:

1. He sees me first, then I notice him.
2. As he passes by me, he faces toward me even tho he was walking in the opposite direction.
3. My eyes widen w/ shock, but quickly turn away cuz i was flooded with many diff. emotions at once, while my voice flew out the window.
4. The end.

I walked a few meters more ahead, and all I could think of was whether or not he saw my surprised expression or not. So I decided to turn back to see where he went cuz the way he was going wasn't in the direction of his classroom. But I had lost him and I'm left still wondering if what I saw was real or surreal. I should have said a hello, but we don't address each other even in class since we're not friends even tho most of his classmates are my friends. So yea, thinking of that silly-adrenaline-rush moment made me feel...super-embarrassed, but still warm and fuzzy hahahas oh geez i guess things come when you least expect it~

feels like summer - lazy days already...

It was crazy humid last night, but I didn't want to turn on the AC cuz
1) too lazy to clean the filter
2) felt it was too early turn it on since the weather has been becoming quite unpredictable
3) help poor mother nature.

After not sleeping for the entire night (except for a short 2 hr nap at 6 am), I decided to take another route to school. I usually have to transfer twice on my usual route, but I walk more if I used the other route. BUT the other route is like 5 minutes faster (yea, i timed it)...but the real reason I wanted to take the other route was becuz the path has more trees and was less noisy. it was really n..i..c..e, so I  think I'm gonna take this new route from now on; walking thru such greenery is quite enjoyable and relaxing anyways and when i was about to stop at a street cuz the traffic light had turned green, the car waited for me to get to the street edge and let me pass even tho the light had already turned green for a few secs already.... i'll remember this rare NYer moment hahas


while studying on the train, I looked up at the ads when it was nearing my stop and read one of those Poetry In Motion msgs, and this one left a good impression on me:

Life is a train of moods like a string of beads, and, 
              as we pass through them, 
                         they prove to be many-colored lenses 
             which paint the world their own hue,
                       and each shows only what lies in its focus.
