| Oceanside retreat last week was really great, got some serious stuff to think about. Birthday at Disneyland the week before was wonderful. Not enough time though, so now that I've got my annual pass, I'm going again today! 
Proud new owner of a Disney annual pass!

In other news, I bought my first pair of cleats!! They're black, pink and silver.  Still gotta get the shin guards though. Hopefully with the right gear I won't get so banged up every week!
Awesomeness.

| sooo...sore...!!
i woke up aching all over this morning. really did not want to get out of bed and go to work. my muscles still hurt when i'm not even moving! aish.
i played soccer after work yesterday for the first time since last yr...i am so out of shape! we played against ppl from horizon and some other nearby companies. dude, they were pretty competitive. and some of the girls are pretty aggressive.  i have to say though, i did a pretty good job on defense! i don't think the girl i was "tagging" was too happy with me cuz i didn't give her much breathing space to be able to do anything with the ball the few times she was able to get near it. oh well, i was on my game! nice to know i don't suck at everything. i can never kick the ball in
the right direction, but at least now i know i can block it! honestly though, i'm just good at getting in the way (which works when it's the other team i get in the way of). after tying 0-0 for an hour or so, they finally scored a lucky goal right before halftime. i played for a lil bit more and then went home. so tired. i heard that ppl stayed around till 7:30 and the game ended at 2-0. but no worries, there's always next week!
i'm going to try to go on a regular basis since it's right after work and it's close by. plus, it's good exercise, AND it's fun, AND i get to "bond" with my coworkers. AND the best part is, exercise creates endorphins which make you happy!! besides, it gets me more active than just walking my dog every day (which is still better than doing nothing in my opinion) i think i've just convinced myself i should go regularly. now i just have to follow through. 
all new episodes of avatar this week!! hooray!!

| asia trip was great. highlight was when we climbed a waterfall in taiwan...it was amazing! i was all gung ho about journaling the trip, but now i'm tired and semi over it. too much to recount. so i'll get to it when i get to it, or maybe i won't. we'll see. pictures are up on facebook. at least i got that much done.
my cousin's grandma (so my second grandma?) passed away a few days ago.  she was one of the sweetest, most adorable, old lady i've ever met. at least she's not suffering anymore. my family is going up north for the funeral this weekend. not sure if i'll be able to catch up with anyone, but i'll give the bay area peeps a call if i can.
i hate my cell phone. i don't get along well with electronics. i think they don't like me
much either, with all the grief they're always causing me. please send
me your info if you can, otherwise don't complain i didn't contact you
since i've lost my numbers yet again. second time this year. freakin
ay. i swear i'm gonna create back ups this time. really, i will.
i'm back for a day and work politics are already beginning to try me. *sigh*
the last dream i've been foolishly holding on to has finally shattered. it was all just wishful thinking.
i know i just got back from my vacation, but i'm feeling like i need another one!

| i need to seriously reevaluate my life and get my focus back. it's been a costly learning process, but i realize now that i do know what i want. i have clear goals and ambitions and i know what i need to do to get there. i just need to follow in that direction. no more distractions and detours, or stupid excuses. i've strayed off my path a bit, but luckily i haven't gotten to the point of no return and the lessons learned didn't come at too great a cost. i'm going to get myself back on track and trust in God.
in the end you're the one who's ultimately responsible. sometimes
things happen that are out of your control, but you were the one who
made the decisions that led you down that path in the first place. even
if the other person(s) are 100% at fault, you've still got yourself to
blame for putting yourself in that situation (obviously there are
exceptions where you really had no choice and absolutely no control -
ie. earthquakes, drive-by shootings, etc)
on a completely unrelated note, there's the whole other issue of there being a line between being nice and compromising oneself. when it comes to relationships (friends, significant others, family, all sorts), there are times when you actually do need to compromise and be understanding. give and take. pick and choose your battles. but you can't compromise to the point where you can't even be yourself anymore. you can't expect to change people, and people shouldn't expect to change you. there are certain things i will not do. i will not compromise myself, my beliefs, or my values, especially not if it's simply to satisfy another person who clearly just doesn't get it or doesn't care.
and lastly, drunkeness is never an excuse. it might help to mitigate the blame and explain one's actions, but again, choices were made to get to that level of drunkeness. so no, i don't believe that being drunk should let anyone off the hook just like that.
anyway, just some random thoughts, although in my head they're not really random at all.
going to asia for 2 weeks for my cousin's wedding. i need to get packing.
