so i mean it.. no more fooling around. well.. just a little.. but it's not really "fooling around" but prior engagements that i've set up. birthday parties, going away parties.. stuff you can't just flake on.. you know? i have the circle k video to finish and is due on the 20th. the footage i have for that isn't the best, i still haven't decided which portion i'm doing (thus holding everyone else up.. good job jean). i was thinking about doing some more interviews.. but i don't know if have the luxury of time.. but i don't want to make a bad project.. so... we will see. the response i've gotten for help hasn't been stellar either.. funny. people you would think who would totally want to help.. haven't heard from them. oh well.. nothing i can do at this point.
and i have another video which is a behind the scenes for this feature film for their dvd. i had the wrong tapes, so now i have 10 more tapes to log and cut.. and a month to do it. coincidentally with the cki video. i am so furreaking screwed it's not even funny. sure it's my own fault for being too busy/slacking off before.. and now i will have to pay the consequence. is it even possible to get it done? i feel like one of them will be mediocre, but it will be okay... one of them has to be GREAT.. because the bar is higher.. but yea. at this point i will be in hiding mode... or trying to be. my slacker side may get the best of me.. but i seriously feel like i'm going to cry all the time.. so that will keep me in check. just wanted to let you all know what was going on if you don't hear from me. and to shove those nasty bruise pictures down so they're not the first thing you see when my page opens.
AND.. this isn't a excuse to never call me.. because that will make me sad. text and voicemail and email messages are all welcome.. plus blog comments. the occasional fun conversation is good too.. but don't think because i've dissapeared i don't love you... maybe i just died in front of my computer or something. now that's a happy thought.

the donating blood ordeal is done. yes.. ordeal. and it wasn't even the whole me being scared of needles... but it was pain-ful.
so i seriously thought it was going to take 15 minutes.. that's what i was told.. no.. it takes over 1 hour.. and for me.. it took like 1.5 almost. i show up, fill out a bunch of paperwork and get freaked out by watching other people. i seriously almost started hyperventilating. the check in nurse even said that she could tell from my blood pressure that i was nervous, but forutnately not too nervous that i couldn't donate. fortunate for her i guess.
they tested my iron levels... pricking my finger. that stung a little bit too. i am such a wuss. finally got to the donating blood part (after everyone else who had started at the same time or a little after me).. and sitting in the chair.. i was so anxious. SO anxious. squirming and squeaming like a little girl.. having everyone laugh at me... haha.. so the girl finally gets the needle (which is so huge and thick by the way!) in my left arm.. and it hurts so bad. she tells me its at a funny angle and wants to fix it, but i tell her no.. and if she HAS to.. and but she says it's okay.. until she tells me it starts bruising. apparently (or so she tells me) that in my anxiety.. when i'm squeezing the hand stress ball that i'm supposed to squeeze every 5 or 10 seconds... that i squeezed (squoze?) too hard and moved the needle and knicked my vein and it was leaking into my arm. great.. that's just what i wanted to hear.
so she takes it out (pain) and i have to get back to work, but she tells me that once they start they can't really stop. and i didn't sit through all that over crap just to not do it.. so i say it's okay to make do with the other arm. they prep my right arm, and shove the horse size needle in. ugh.. more pain. it hurts so much more worse than the other one.. this dull stinging but still sharp pain. i can't even squeeze the stress ball this time because it hurts so bad, and it feels like my entire arm is numb. at one point the blood stops flowing (what?!! i know..) and because i'm not squeezing the stress ball to keep the blood circulating the lady has to put heat packs on my arm to keep my blood flowing. finally i am done.. i get my juice and cookies and the lady loads me up with ice packs just in case i am sore (which i totally am) and i have to get back to work despite them telling me i need to rest.
i felt really sick earlier.. probably because i didn't get a chance to eat. i grabbed a sandwich and felt a little better... now i'm getting really tired.. a little groggy/light headed. do i need to eat more? i've been drinking water.. but it makes me have to go pee a lot, and then i can't always just get up and go.. so that makes me feel queasy as well. i think the chances of me getting out of scorekeeping tonight are pretty slim.. so.. yea. that sucks too.
hope i don't pass out while driving home. 31 more minutes.

hope i don't pass out while driving home. 31 more minutes.
today i going to donate blood today. i am petrified of needles. when i was little and i needed to get an IV... they had to hold me down while i cried hysterically. blood tests for physicals and school = the worst.. i even don't like those tb tests... ack. so.. i have no idea why i volunteered to donate blood. maybe my lack of volunteerism has gotten to me.. plus..i think it's a good thing to do.. i've got plenty of blood right? it's also convenient.. right here at work. so.. we'll see. hopefully i don't pass out or get sick or have my arm be all bruised and swollen. but if that does happen.. maybe i can go home. :P
and for you cat lovers out there...

benji is a fuckin' riot.
i emailed him last night that he should audition for beauty and the geek's second season.... and he immed me today and was like "i wanna do it!" hahah.. only benji would be not offended that i would put him in that spot and category. he says he took the quizzes that they had and got like a 6 out 7 or something? i dunno.. hilarious benji.
so while chatting.. we get to the subject of myspace.. and he signs up. so he can properly stalk people and see all their pictures and read all their blogs.. because really.. that's the only reason anyone's on myspace. oh .. and to find love. but i often forget about that part.
and then....
to be fair.... i did tell benji he should apply for beauty and the geek.. BUT.. i did tell him that i thought they wouldn't cast him because he wasn't dorky enough. *gasp* shocker huh? benji sucks at fashion, and probably pop music, and a lot of other "trendy" things... but he's not totally inept, and sometimes can be witty. and apparently is quite a ladies' man. but there are some guys who aren't too bad on that show... so i think he could worm his way in. i think he should TOTALLY do it.. just to see. and then these "overpass/bridge' conversations that i hold so dear would be nationally televised.. and people would "get it" and then benji would be like all those other nerds turned super studs with all the women hanging all over him.. not just the e-girls. but he already has one hot gf.. so maybe just for a good time to be on tv.

BOO!!!! my audio blog didn't post. sucks.. i pushed the wrong button. maybe it'll be like last time and not come through until a few days later. lame. i guess i will just have to type out what was supposed to be in the audio blog.
anyways.. why am i still up? who knows. i came over to my sister's house where my cousin and sister and two friends had dinner. it was a good time. but now i am still here, and the friends/cousin have left and the parents have came and i'm still here. waited around for my sister to set up her new location free tv. well.. have her friend help set it up.. but it's pretty effin awesome. and rad that we got it work.. for a few reasons... a)how awesome is that you can watch your tivo from ANYWHERE is the world? b)i don't have to sit around and record dvd's for my sister... (hehe.. ) and c)that's just so damn neat. so.. pretty awesome. and it works pretty well.. so i am thankful to the kevin & bean show on kroq for first alerting me about it and mentioning it on the radio so i could google it and let them know about it so that we could research and eventually have it. thanks :)
another new toy that we have is our new iSights. YES. delving deeper and deeper into the apple brainwashing :P it's so that my sister and my fam/her friends and whoever can video conference while she is in taiwan. i tested it out with audio conferencing and it's pretty clear and i tried it out on video conferencing... and it works well too. prettty awesome. according to nicole the picture is way clear.. so that's good.. yay!! so who wants to chat? hehehehe
so today while driving to pick up our food for dinner.. i was driving along the beach to santa monica.. and it was so nice... it smelled so beach :) and the sun was shining.. (at 7:30pm!!) and hooray for summer solstice and happy first day of summer!! whoo hoo. people at work asked me if i was going out to celebrate the solstice... do people do that? haha.. well.. i guess i was celebrating.. sorta.. dinner with friends.. but not outside.. so not really celebrating the solstice. haha. but it was a nice drive :)
subject #2 my dysfunctional audio blog was about was how i went to go pick up dinner @ cpk .. and the lady told me the total was $49.75 and then ran my credit card through and it was $17.62. i saw her ring it through... and i kept thinking that she would notice it was wrong. she looked at it again, and looked at another register and then handed me the charge slip and said "have a nice night." i was about to sign it... and then i felt really bad.. and i was like 'umm.. i think you charged me the wrong amount...." am i a schmuck? should i just have signed it and left? given her a $32 tip to make up the difference? or just went. haha. i mean.. if i was at the gap.. and i only charged one pair of pants instead of three.. i would want someone to tell me. karma right? doing good things is better.... hahah.. i've told people that they've given me too much change over a few cents or dollars... certainly i couldn't just make off with this big of a difference. hahah.. so the audio blog was much more entertaining than this rambling. but yea.. so that was that.. schmuck huh?
caught up on all the beauty and the geeks.. and taped some next food network star and hell's kitchen for jeffgu. now i am watching britney and kevin:chaotic. yea.. i know.. train wreck.. but i figure i'm not doing much else. recording it at the same time and half watching it.... i almost feel dumber for watching it.. hah... sorry i am rambling. so very tired... but i guess spending quality time with the sister before she leaves is good yea?
"they look like boobs! but they're not... they're my knees!!"
awesome.

I know most definitely
that its gonna be you, its gonna be me
so, baby keep your head up
keep it on the up and up
and know now, cuz you've got all my

Tom and Katie to wed
yikes huh? i'm sure it is old news by now.. but i wanted to blog about it anyways.
this is a super cute picture of them
favorite parts of my article:
"he popped the question early Friday morning atop the Eiffel Tower."
"The couple often shared smiles and blushes as Cruise turned to look at her, with a massive diamond ring on her finger." (maybe i just like the "massive diamond" part :P)
"The former star of television's 'Dawson's Creek' grew up with a poster of Cruise on her bedroom wall and has said she grew up wanting to marry him."
and another quote that wasn't from this article, but it made me think of philly.. it's from here - an article about katie converting to scientology -
"Less amicable is the chatter surrounding the Catholic-raised Holmes' sudden immersion in Cruise's sci-fi-filled faith. Sources close to the former "Dawson's Creek" cutie-pie (oh Pacey, where are you when we need you?) tell the New York Post they're concerned about the influence the church is having on her."
yes... i am having a very productive morning at work.
yikes huh? i'm sure it is old news by now.. but i wanted to blog about it anyways.
this is a super cute picture of them
favorite parts of my article:
"he popped the question early Friday morning atop the Eiffel Tower."
"The couple often shared smiles and blushes as Cruise turned to look at her, with a massive diamond ring on her finger." (maybe i just like the "massive diamond" part :P)
"The former star of television's 'Dawson's Creek' grew up with a poster of Cruise on her bedroom wall and has said she grew up wanting to marry him."

*good times*
*good times*
so apparently there was an earthquake while i was at lunch. i totally missed it. 5.3 - 71 miles away from LA... i guess it may not have been that strong, but i guess that people at UCLA (so says a friend of a friend) felt it really strongly. soo.. hmm. maybe i was walking at the time and that's why i didn't feel it. i was on my way to the restaurant?

hahahahahahahah.. i laughed for a good few minutes

SuperJim: dude, there was an earthquake while we were at lunch
SuperJim: a 5.3
SuperJim: I didn't even feel it
jeanyah: apparently
jeanyah: i didn't feel it
SuperJim: I think I was too busy eating ice cream to notice
jeanyah: i think it was earlier
jeanyah: 1:54 apparently
jeanyah: maybe while we were walking over
jeanyah: and that's why we didn't feel it
SuperJim: oh ok...that would make sense
SuperJim: dude, I never feel earthquakes
SuperJim: so lame
jeanyah: hahah
jeanyah: are you sad?
SuperJim: yes...maybe later you could come over to my desk and shake my chair
SuperJim: a 5.3

so i know this seems a little silly.. but sometimes i like watching my old projects for inspiration. i know i know.. it's cheesy and probably vain... but lately i have been a little down and questioning this whole editing thing and wondering how i do it. and i guess i felt the same way before i did the trailer and my sister's videos. but i watch them, and i know the work that i put into them and i know how i felt that i wouldn't be able to put anything together, and yet i made something happen. so i can do it again right? that's part of the magic. cheesy? yes. vain? probably. silly? a little bit... but hopefully it will work. i have two projects that need to get done.. one with not so much footage or inspiration, another one with more footage but lacking a lot of passion. at least so far. i fear that i can only edit things that i am familiar with or are really into, but as a job you need to be able to put and piece anything together. so if you don't see me for a few weeks, it means that i have self control and am actually working on these projects that i hope aren't POS's. if you see me online, or hanging out with you, reprimand me and tell me to get my ass in gear.
thanks.
thanks.

i have lagging on the posting. most sorry goes to linh.. because she tells me all the time to blog and i never do it. i think i was waiting for some pictures to come in, and they haven't.... so i will just have to make do.
i do have these pictures. i made these little mini pizza things for this guy's birthday at my work. i was freaking out a little about what to use as the crust.. but in the end i used the pilsbury grands biscuits and just split them apart and they working really well and were pretty tasty. they have mushrooms and pepperoni which was awesome, and i was going to take a picture of them baked.. but i didn't have enough time. plus some of the stuff (cheese) slid off or something and i didn't have time to fix that either, so maybe it's for the better.
memorial day weekend was fun. the friday before it was almost like a ghosttown @ work. a lot of people were gone, and the people who were here.. well.. i basically had more visitors that day, and i watched the desperate housewives/lost dvd that got sent with our hollywood reporters... so.. it was a chill day. i actually got to go home at like 3 or 4, which was really nice :) i hung out with a co-worker, then dinner @ home and bowling with linh/tony & co. :P saturday was beth & ryan's bbq. beth is an awesome bbq'er. there was a good amount of people there, and benji was in town! so it was cool to see him :) there was a ton of food, and ice cream cake, and then we all played karaoke revolution. boy do i suck at that game :P at one point ji (benji's new gf :)) was singing this really hard song and the crowd in the video game walked out of the club, and the virtual ji singer sank to her knees in shame. that was the funniest thing i had seen all night. video games are so cruel now!! but i was laughing really hard... but if it had happened to me.. i probably would never ever sing again. but that game is hard.. and ji is an excellent singer.. so.. it's not really and accurate judge.
sunday night i watched saving face with my family. it's a pretty good movie - funny because it's about this chinese over acheiving daughter who has to appease her mother who moves in with her because she is pregnant with no father, and she is also trying to balance her relationship with her girlfriend (yes.. girlfriend) but of course her super chinese mother doesn't know she's a lesbian. hahaha. it's funny because there are so many "chinese" things in there, and although annoying uci girls are babbling about how that's "so them" .. it's a little true too. it's a really good movie about love and family and ambition as well... plus there's a nekkid girl (top halves) on girl scene for those not interested in the plot. hah. it was a little awkward sitting next to my mom.. but oh well :P on the way home:
me: "would you be mad if i was a lesbian"
mom: "well if that's your nature"
me: "really?"
mom: "you're mom is pretty okay huh?"
hahaha.. both me and my sister say she only says that because she knows that it's not true... (i have a giant josh duhamel poster on my door.. but i guess it could just be a trick :P) but last week when i was going out and sakura picked me up, my mom commented about how i'm always going out with my girl friends and that i need to bring a boy home sometime. hah. hah. hah. hah. ha. ha. ha. and then made some comment about how it should be a chinese boy, but if not a good american one. heh. heh. heh. oh my.
memorial day - had lunch @ todai with the fam and fam friends, did a little bit (or too much) shopping, and then it was off to disneyland.. YAAAAY, with car-son, jim-kura and nicole. hahha. (carson has already been established... jimkura i just made up right now.. i'm sure they will both tell me i'm stupid). we rode a few rides, watched some fireworks and i went to find some pennies. it was awesome.
the following week was blah.. whatever.. glad it was 4 days long although as always it seems like 10. the weekend i cleaned .. which is good cuz it builds up the good child karma and makes my mom stop nagging me for oh.. about 4 days it lasted :P i did try the omelette parlor by my work that i had heard beth talk about and it's pretty yummy. i didn't have an omelette because i wasn't in the mood for eggs, so we'll have to go back and try that.
working a lot, on two diff jobs (well technically 3 since i am still going to gap meetings.).. wednesday met up with carlene and sonny who "kidnapped" nicole and saved her from her "i'm old and alone" birthday plans and we had presents, nachos and ice cream cake! YES. :) it was an excellent time... read nicole's recap (plus pictures!) here. friday we all went out again to meet up for nicole's bday. dinner, drinks, dancing and just good old regular fun. listened to sakura tell her stories, beth and ryan analyze sakura's facial expressions, trying to shove drinks down nicole's throat and some other good times. pictures to come soon.
i skipped out on the graduation madness... (sorry kathy, norma, luz!!) and did baby shower errands and planning (finishing touches.. have been planning for awhile). yea!! my sister is preggers! i'm going to be an aunt. whoooa. it's kind of creepy but kind of cool at the same time. i mean.. not creepy.. but scary? like.. man.. i'm going to be an aunt! yikes. she isn't due for awhile but we had the baby shower early because she's going to be in taiwan until after it's born... so.. booo...... that makes me sad.. but i know it's for the best. but it still kind of sucks. but i will be visiting.. so that makes it kind of cool. my mom wanted me to go before june (when i went last year) so that i could have platinum status or whatever the high up one for eva airways is.. but that really wasn't going to happen.. so oh well. but this week was busy busy with the shower planning.. but i think it turned out really well, people enjoyed it, it was very nice and now it's over :P which is kind of sad too... but now i can take a little bit of a breather. not too much because i still have two projects i need to have been started and halfway done already. oops. but yea.. we played two games, opened presents and ate. we used the caterer from my work Johnny Pacific who is soooooo good :) we had gruyere stuffed mushrooms, empanadas (4 flavors) and chicken satay. YUM. we baked cupcakes and cookies and had strawberry pie. had cheese, hummus and basically.. a TON of food. plus the guys came afterwards and did the bbq and had a plethora of bacon wrapped entities. i had to leave the bbq portion early because i had to get to our softball game, but i was pretty exhausted anyways, so it was almost a welcome excuse. not that i didn't enjoy it all.. but being a master party planner is a lot of hard work!
softball was.... okay. :P good because we played and didn't get totally slaughtered. bad because we gave up a 6 run lead and ended up losing. good because it was to the first place team. bad because we still lost after being up the whole time. bad because i got the last out in our last at bat, and didn't catch the huge fly ball to the outfield so they scored the winning run, okay because i did some other not too horrible things during the game which may or may not have redeemed myself... depending on who you ask is all. i don't know why i was so upset, because it is just a game. we won our previous game.. and it was so exciting to win, and this week is was so close, and then it just ... was such a let down i guess. hopefully we can do a lot better as the season progresses and it would be cool if we got a 50% ratio.. but that would require to have us win almost all of our remaining games.. and if people show up.. that might happen, but that's what i get for knowing people with lives :P i hope to win at least a few more games.. and then we'll see what happens from there. we'll just have to start with the next one... i don't think i wrote about us winning... but we did in the game the previous week... beth had this recap.....
"Our new softball team, led by Jeanie, recorded a real win on Sunday. It was very exciting. By "real" I mean that our normal pitcher (Jean) pitched and we had our normal players – more or less. Actually mostly less since Ryan was disabled and Maritza got hit in the nose and had to sit out pretty early on. It was neither a forfeit or a cheat, although the win will likely be contested by a very butch-looking girl from the other team who had issue with the number of male players we had. We followed the rules, but she pretty much threw a fit and from then of the other team had a very unsportsmanlike attitude.
The turning point came in the third inning, when Jean pulled an amazing play by stopping a line drive right at the mound. It was crazy! Then in the following inning Jean's friend Jake got a double play and pretty much sealed the deal. But the best part was that Jean ended the game by striking out the last girl. I hope that Jean does not take it the wrong way when I say that I never thought in a million years we would ever end a game with a winning strikeout, especially not if we were the away team, and especially not against as obnoxious a team as the Dough Boys. I think that under the circumstances, the stress and excitement of possibly finally winning and knowing the team is relying on you to hold the score down would overcome anyone. Jean gets flustered over much less, if you know what I mean. But she pulled it off! So way to stand fast under extreme pressure, Jean! And way to be a trooper, Maritza! Go Menacers!"
i'm not necessarily offended, but i know how beth means it and what she's trying to say.. so thanks... i guess :P
yay.. work is almost done for the day. i have to clean my room and make it more of a productive space so i can get my shit done. that's going to be hard. my sister is leaving this week.. that will suck too. boo. i am trying to get a reprieve from hockey.. i'm not quit ready to quit yet, and i know they are short handed.. so i'm not too sure what exactly to do. i know i should just give up the extranneous stuff that isn't important.. but i like to do it.. and i was never very good at giving up what i wanted to.. so i just have to deal. issues, i tell you, issues.

just got back a little bit ago from seeing CINDERELLA MAN.
awesome.. it gave me the warm tinglies inside. and sure, it may be a little predictable (in the same way Miracle is....), but it's a good story, and what makes it even better is that it's a true story. boxing is brutal though.. i don't know how people watch it.
you know why else you should see it.. our company worked on the visual fx. aww yeah. awesome.. it was neat to see their names in the credits.. even if it was at the very bottom :P
go see it!! that is your mission this weekend. :)
