February 22nd, 2010 » Already Another Month?!
Hiya everyone,
How could it already be another month? Someone needs to tell time to slow down. X__X I really can’t believe it’s already February (late February too!). My winter quarter is almost ending. I will soon be finished with College. Can you believe it? It would be four years. It’s crazy how time can go by so fast. You definitely meet some amazing (and even strange) people at College.
So, I have been taking the bus for some years now – taking it to school, from school, to other places (like malls, markets, restaurants). During my time on the bus, I realized I have some “pet peeves”. I will try to keep it short.
- On the bus, it is usually a two-seater. I hate it when a person sits on the outside of the two-seater so that no one could sit in the window seat. I hate that especially when it’s crowded (and going to school in the morning by bus is always crowded). I don’t know why people like to do that, but it’s really bothersome when it’s extremely crowded with people standing from the end of the bus to literally the entrance of the bus. REALLY?! The person can’t scoot in for someone else to sit?
- In addition to the first one, I hate when the person puts their backpack or bag on the other seat. What makes their bags so special that it deserves its own private sit?
- I also hate when there are two people in the two-seater seats and the inside person has to get out because it is their stop. And the outside person doesn’t move or get up, but rather twists their body to let them out. Thus making the person who is trying to get out, have to squish in between the other person and the seat before them. (I’m sorry if this one doesn’t make a whole lot sense, but the basis is that the outside person isn’t considerate of the inside person).
- Lastly, I hate it when people (youthful, College students who obviously can stand and move) sit at the seats reserved for the elderly people do not move when an elderly person comes into the bus. Sometimes the elderly person would make the people move but sometimes not.
Well, those are my pet peeves for now. Sometimes they can’t be help especially if it’s crowded in the bus.
I do have an idea for a new layout for this site. The problem is finding the time to make it as well as the motivation. So, please bear with this layout a little longer.
That’s it for now. Back to writing my papers and reading!
January 22nd, 2010 » What a Year!
Hiya everyone,
The end of January is coming soon. I have a lot of readings to do for my classes. Taking four classes is such a difference compared to only taking three. But, then again, it may because of the subjects of the classes. It’s been raining these past few days. So, it’s very cold! I am not used to this kind of weather.
Although I am busy with school, I do find time to watch Japanese dramas. Liar Game 2 came out recently. I love Matsuda Shota so I have to watch it. It has many similarities to Liar Game 1, but I am glad Nao (played by Toda Erika) has grown. I have also kept up with: How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Better Off Ted (this show I recently fell in love with — unfortunately, I heard it was getting canceled), Modern Family, the Middle, and the Office. I also saw CW’s Life Unexpected, I thought it was cute. (Yes, I might watch too much TV…)
Anyway, on January 14th, I went out with some coworkers (who actually live near my apartment) to Downtown to go to an Art Walk. It was very interesting. It was mostly contemporary art. Although half the time, we were just waiting for food from this food truck called, Komodo.
Then, yesterday (January 21st), the power went out at my apartment possibly because of the rain and wind. And, the power also went out at my coworkers’ apartment. So, we went out to get some ramen, but the restaurant was closed. So, we got curry from Curry House. I love their curry with the chicken katsu! Then, we went to go Max Karaoke. I never went to a karaoke place before. Heck, I never even sung in front of my friends. But, it was really fun. We tried to sing some Japanese songs, but utterly failed. I forgot all my Japanese characters. Afterwards, we went to Yogurtland (which was crazy because it was so cold and yet we wanted some frozen yogurt)! And, finally, the power came back on in our apartments. Yay!
Well, that’s it for now. I am so tired and cold. I need to finish up my readings and start a paper very soon!
