Look, these are only $30 on Amazon! I posted about them back in November. I gotta stop looking at all these deals. I've been buying online too much. Online shopping is addicting! I've also been sharing some of the deals at the bottom of this page. People have been asking me where I find them.…

CSI Corpse Job, Roomba, and Wishlists
•

Anyone want $136 and a job as a corpse on CSI? Laying flat on your back, not moving or breathing, staring unblinking at the ceiling…no thanks. +- Every time I see a commercial for these Roomba things, I want to get one. I wonder if it really works. I'd let it loose in my living…

Wireless in China

My days have been filled with lessons, lesson planning, eating, hand-washing my clothes, and shopping for food and other necessities. I haven’t been able to get online until recently when my teammate discovered a wireless connection near the window…haha! If I had time, I would have gone to what my students call “net bars” where…

The Day the Earth Shook

Today is the 100th anniversary of the great quake (check out the old-fashioned design on that site). The earthquake hit San Francisco at 5:12:05 a.m. There were two shocks. The second one was stronger. It lasted 40 seconds, but in those seconds, energy equivalent to several nuclear bombs was released. Some scientists say that the…

Happy 32nd

I was shopping at Costco this morning with my mom. She was in a hurry and wondered why there were so many people. I said “It’s a holiday, you know, Veteran’s Day. Your anniversary is the same day as Veteran’s Day, remember?”

Dress shopping

I’ve been doing a lot of dress shopping these past 2 days. No, not for myself. I was just a chauffeur and there to give moral support, since I have no fashion sense, right? We even went to the Vera Wang Bridal Salon at Saks 5th Ave. That is definitely at the opposite end of…

Holiday shopping

I love holiday shopping. Wait, let me qualify that statement. I love late night holiday shopping. I love it because stores are open late. We were walking through Macy’s at midnight last Friday, and I was at Target until 11pm tonight. I’m all shopped out…for today at least.

Mannequins

I was shopping the other day at the Old Navy downtown. There was something eerie about the mannequins there, but I couldn’t figure out what it was at first. Evey time I turned around, I saw them looking back at me. Then I figured out what it was. These mannequins had heads. They had faces,…

Rock shopping

For the past couple days, I’ve been out ring shopping with my friend, who’s up here from San Diego. (The ring’s for him, not me.) Anyhoo, we went to the gift center where he found a rock he liked. He’s getting the mounting made to look like one from Verragio because that’s what the girl…

Our church softball team record

Our church softball team record this season is 2-1 right now. Not too shabby. We get better and better every time we play, probably because the only time we practice is when we’re playing! It’s neat to play in a league where you play against other churches. Sports ministries are pretty cool because it allows…

I changed back to the old comments system. Enetation was just way too slow. I think the page seems to load a little faster now. Things have not been going well lately. Maybe I’m just in a “funk” because things just suddenly seem to come up, all with the goal of giving me grief. There’s…

I went shopping in Gilroy on Saturday and Jaime made me go to the Sanrio store with her. I think the time we spent in that store was longer than the time we spent in any other store. Everything was 50% off! Being Chinese (and female), we couldn’t pass up on good deals, even if…

It’s such a nice day outside! I should go for a ride, but I’m feeling a little lazy these days. Wait, I feel like this ALL the time! Maybe I should do some shopping. Ok, maybe just window shopping. Hey, it’s hip hop weekend on MTV. I was watching the diary of NAS. Pretty interesting.…

Costco Etiquette So I was shopping at Costco today, one of those warehouse membership stores, and they have these booths where people hand out free samples. I go up to one (only one today, ok!) and, being the polite person that I am, asked if I could take one. The guy said, “Of course!” like…

Another day of work. There is no such thing as relaxing during the weekend as a student. I love the following quote: There are only 2 kinds of people in the world – those who wake up in the morning and say, “Good morning, Lord,” and those who wake up in the morning and say,…

10:55 pm–I see a Christmas tree on the side of the freeway. 11:05pm–I have to slow down for someone to cross pushing a shopping cart in the middle of the street. A closer look reveals a second person in the shopping cart. 11:10pm–I’m am walking to the front door of my house. I hear leaves…
