i have much to write you, but i do not want to do so with pen and ink. i hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. ~ 3 john 1:13,14 (niv)
there are so many ppl i haven't seen in ages and so many more ppl i haven't spoken to. curse these exams! in the meantime, you'll just have to deal with me and my inconsistent blogging.
(btw, i don't really have anything interesting or exciting to say, i just miss you guys, that's all.)

maybe one of you tech guys can help me - is there any way somebody can help convert something i have on video cassette into something more digital? short of pointing a digital camera at the tv screen (which isn't really a great option), i don't really have the tools to do so at my own home, and i really, really want this...
it seems as though my father's unearthed a goldmine from the recesses of our basement. he found an old video cassette that said [in chinese] "1990 church christmas pageant video with tiffany as mary and jonathan as captain kirk". awesome. i think we were 7 and 11, respectively.
among the familiar faces i saw there: - me, sporting many missing teeth - mei and benita, as heavenly angels <3 - ju, surprising me with her excellent cantonese skillz - my bro, as a "short shorts"-wearing cap'n kirk - ed, as spock - jenne, in that ubiquitous yellow, green, and red (?) winter jacket - felix, being very well-behaved - david zhang, acting goofy - david chan, with goofy hair - gable, scrunching up his nose - shirley, wearing our house sheets as a robe - matt mark, doing an excellent version of haman (from esther)
some of these performances deserve to be played at a wedding or something... everyone's voices sound SO different - it's amazing what puberty does! :p if you want to see them (and trust me, they're worth the effort), please help me find a way to convert the format!!!

this is the first procrastinatory blog post of the 2006-2007 school year!
i've got a pharmacy management midterm tmw which i really should study for, but why study when you can write on the internets about unimportant things!!!
i just saw the strangest video ever. it featured magically appearing moustaches and a boy turning into a box. but the best part was the first five seconds when you see felix dressed up with... purple things (?) on his head/ears. in fact, the video hadn't even started loading and i was already laughing. :p
mystery solved: sadly, a mystery was solved for me today. remember when i blogged awhile back about that "blocked ID" who was calling my cell? i had previously speculated that this unknown caller was the previous phone holder's non-threatening slightly creepy ex-bf who did not know of the number change (and also out-of-town change of address). instead, i think it might just be dave calling me from his work phone so he won't use up his daytime minutes. boo! it was more fun to imagine the other scenario...
so today, i spent an hour at a wyeth seminar on vitamins. the seminar was stuff that we'd already learned in class, but i must say that the spread that followed afterwards was great. the food and dessert they served was pretty good (a step up from the normal subs that we are courted with) and the best part was all the free samples! heaven knows what i'm going to do with ten little bottles of centrum, a sample of materna, and 12 caltrate sticky note-pads, but i'm sure i'll find uses for them/give them away. first person to comment on the blog will get some free samples and literature, hehe!
went to the keg mansion and then saw the departed with the gang a while back. i'm, like, the only chinese person who hasn't seen the original infernal affairs and after watching the hollywood remake, i think i will. it's a pretty good, very funny movie, but had really slow pacing. too much character development. :p but i enjoyed it. besides this movie, i haven't been watching too much else besides my regularly programmed antm, veronica mars (the new season's finally playing in canada on the a-channel or something), and my new fave heroes. thank goodness for dave's pvr so i don't have to stay glued to the tv each evening. oh, we also watched rushmore last week, which i remember watching at gracie's place at the end of OAC with erin and liz. i seem to recall it being funnier, but i still love the line "nice nurses uniform, guy." hee!
shirley and kevin's wedding was on saturday. shirley looked beautiful, the bridesmaids looked HOT, and kevin looked extremely happy and relaxed. had a blast with everybody and it was so good to see ju, ames, and jenne while they were in town. the dinner was excellent and despite some questionable emceeing (too hk-styles for me, i'm afraid), the 'round-the-table banter at our table and dancing at the end of the night was tons of fun. who knew hm had such smooth moves? who knew iulia had such endurance when it came to dancing in heels? who knew kalam was so open to dancing with the aforementioned emcee? (hee! i kid, i kid!) who'd have thought i'd end up disco dancin' with my mom and dad? and, most of all, who knew dave was such a strange super dancer? (oh wait, i think i knew that already) <3 the only drawback now is that i've got "london bridge" and "sexyback" stuck in my mind all day now, even during lecture...
ok, i should really get back to business, ttyl!
p.s. who are the mci ppl still in town these days? i've been accused of being a bum since i pretty much have seen no one since the beginning of the summer. (not my fault! no one invites me out until last minute!) midterms will be confusing pretty much all of october, but i'd love to see you guys sometime... :(

it seems like i have another reason for looking forward to the future. :) (though i suppose you can't really look backward to the future, can you?)
good movies i've seen lately: eat drink man woman talladega nights (still love my anchorman, but this was hilarious!) wake up, ron burgundy! (the alternate anchorman movie - different plot) thank you for smoking (SO good, SO bitingly funny)
best new show of this tv season: HEROES! (go see it just for hiro, the cute geeky japanese fanboy!)
and lastly, books i've been reading: therapeutic choices patient self-care principles of medical pharmacology applied therapeutics

... my cell has a more exciting life than i do.
as many of you know, i recently switched my cell plan b/c family plans really suck. as a result, i now have a new phone which i am content with, despite still not knowing how to work voicemail. i'll figure it out yet! no, it's not a "sexy" phone, as brandon would say, but it does its job and i can use the bluetooth headset when i'm on the phone with people (at home though, where i don't have to worry about looking like a tool in front of others).
anyhow, so with this new phone, i've been noticing (now that i finally have caller ID) that i've been getting a whole bunch of calls from a blocked number. typically, the phone will ring only twice and then i guess the call gets disconnected?
this brings me to the point of this blog: who do you suppose is calling? it can't be someone i know b/c i've never blocked anyone's number before. therefore, it must be an acquaintance of the person who previously held my cell number. i'm assuming the previous user is a female, based on the idea that she chose the number for the same reason i did. :)
anyway, in my mind i've been imagining that the blocked caller is this young woman's ex-boyfriend who has been calling her incessantly with pleas to get back together with him. in response to his affections, she blocked his number from her phone, switched to an entirely new number when she moved out of town, and then possibly served him with a restraining order (just to be on the safe side of things, you know).
what do you think?
[october 3/06, 3:58pm] edit: just to clarify and keep things light-hearted and non-creepy, i've always imagined this ex-boyfriend as completely non-threatening. he's just a sad little boy who pushed away his gf with neediness. i mean, he's sweet and all, but there's only so many mixed CDs and late night serenades with a mariachi band that a poor girl can take! (oh, and there might possibly be a small shrine in his room with mementos from their short relationship, but otherwise he's completely harmless.)
