due to an overwhelming response by barb, i will hereby post some of my boring activities and daily occurences:
- to recap this weekend- what an interesting weekend. friday night i went to the phi delta chi (a national professional pharmacy fraternity at uic)'s tiki tiki party at this brother's apt. while getting there i was immediately reminded to self by self why i'd rather commute daily than live right by. thankfully iimmediately spotted some of my pseudo friends when i got in to their courtyard. the party was alright-- kegs, nasty ass screwdriver that i chose not to have, and they had some grilled burgers and brats. yummy! we met some people from our class and some upperclassmen... an ok time i suppose. then some (weird) upperclass asian guys, mike and mike, started talking to us and invited us to their friend's birthday gathering at sauce (a bar/club in lincoln park). i've been to sauce before so i wasnt too thrilled about it and my friend wasnt gonna go cuz she and her friends had to drive back to oak brook. as we were leaving, these guys chased after us and were like, what??? come to sauce! anywho, somehow they convinced me to go... hmm, interesting times.
-so i spent the next hr waiting at mike and mike's friend's apt waiting for their friends to gather/change and whatnot. this guy's 3 or 4 roommates were just sitting around, watching girls gone wild. then this other chick that was there, completely gone after only 2 bacardi silver, was shaking her booty and stuff and getting too close with one of the roommates (who i later overheard telling this chick that he had started seeing his gf for about 2 months now, as he continued to fondle this ugly asian chick).
-so we finally got to sauce and mike and mike's other friends were dirty dancing/bumpin' and grindin' with each other or whatever. i was just like, oh my god, what am i doing with these complete strangers?!! i refrained myself from getting the groove on cuz 1) i might actually see and deal with these people again in school, 2) i dont know these people AT ALL, 3) i only like to dance like such with guys that i actually want a piece of or that i will never see again or that im comfortable with. hmm, interesting night indeed. luckily, i got the courage to leave early ~1am and went to starbucks and chatted with some fun partners instead. :)
- saturday was hopper's birthday fest and pub crawl. however, we never crawled... at least not before julia and i turned into old women and left early. you can read about it at andy's blog.
- sunday was a crazy day at work. as mentioned before, things never work properly and we're always understaffed when we are busy. hmmm...
then in the evening, i finally got SAMOSAS!!!! yummy yummy yummy!!!
- monday morning i woke up way too late!!!! ahh!!! i had to go to school unshowered and sat in the back for my first class and could not see anything. thank god for the invention of perfume and my brother's discounts at l'oreal and their affiliates. i didnt have time to iron my newly washed pants this weekend so i had to wear another pair that were way too long for sandals so i had to wear friggin' boots on a hot summer day. boo!
- after class i went to the lab to drop off something for my friend clara who still works there. unfortunately, i ran into my boss. not the australian, the boss boss, the one that actually runs and pays rent for the lab. boo. it was TOO weird and i think she was in a pissy mood from earlier. how boring! :p
- this afternoon at work at starbucks, i was talking about haircolor with courtnye. shes trying to decide what color to dye her hair to. shes af. american and now with sorta red hair. looks really nice but she wants something natural. whatever, so jamie decided to barge in and ask why women color their hair. and he asked me, is your hair color your natural color. i was like, um... no, not really... just my showing black roots. then i tried to point out to him, hello? i am asian, i have to have ranging from black black to dark brown, and not the colorful tonal reds that i appear to have. (guys!) and hes like, well, i didnt know what nationality you are!?? i thought you'd be like filipino or something. i was like, what?? my skin is not dark enough to be filipino!! then jamie was like, no, not filipino... but you know, i never thought you were completely asian... blah blah.
i was just like (to self) geez, where are you from!?!?!?!? just because i dont look classically asian with tiny slanty eyes or pushed up nose or whatever doesnt mean i am not asian! oh my god, it was HILARIOUS!!! i never knew i could look somewhat non-asian to some people!!! hmmm... haahahahha. filipino??? geez, is that why starbucks people think that i look like tia carrera??? what do i look like????????
- in the evening as i was complaining about how my feet were hurting (i was still in my heely boots) and dr phil said that i should have a foot massage, and had to quickly dismiss the notion that he might be offering one because laura, this other woman customer, and i started giggling. then he went on to tell me that we are not quite there yet and foot massage is apparently the secret to the girl. hmmm, so i told him that he should let me know when hes ready. if he only knew... heh heh heh... ;)
