Somewhat hilarious fragments of my thoughts on love

**disclaimer, this was almost 7 YEARS ago!

Today I was looking through my old comcast and yahoo emails looking for something (because 5 years ago, Valentine's Day was pretty epic) and instead, I found this in an email to my buddy Lulu! <3

"see, i was watching Gilmore Girls, you know of them? anyway, there's this guy, Luke, and he's like really good friends with Lorelei, and you know that they have a thing for each other, but neither of them realize it--anyway, what my point is, i totally love their relationship because, in addition to it being soo adorable how they act together, it's like, they're friends, and they'll always be, no matter what happens...and i especially love whenever Luke gets overly concerned about Lorelei, he's all overprotective and goes to beat up whatever jerk hurt her feelings, it's sooo cute....so i've come to a deduction---
The best relationship (b/w a guy and a girl):

1. must begin as friends

2. both people must be mutually respected

3. they must care for one another (i know, it's all the basics, but hey, hear me out)

4. at some point, one must have liked the other while they were attached or not able to like them back

5. each must know how the other takes his/her coffee

6. each must have stood the other one up (ie. a "date" to repaint the diner) and that person must make it up to the other person, thereby showing that although they are unreliable at times, they will always remember to make it up (lol do you like these?)

7. they have to have known each other, at least a little while, before hooking up (i'd say at least a year, but is that reasonable?)

8. at some point, each will have wanted to express his/her feelings, only to realize it wasn't the right time (ie the other person gets engaged, family member died)

9. instead of giving up on their feelings, the person who wanted to express his/her feelings must be as good a friend as possible

10. they must have each done the other person a favor (ie, buy a present for the other person's significant other, fixing the other person's roof)

11. they must see one another frequently (or the every morning that Luke and Lorelei see one another)

12. they must each be over the age of 16 (truly, i think 18, or even 21, but who knows these days, make note, this is for a lasting relationship)

13. and of course, they have to be willing to love them will all of their quirks, bad habits, attitude adjustments, and excess baggage (ie, a 16-yr-old daughter)"

LOL and the funny thing is...a bunch of that is still pretty true to me. I guess just the fact that I had expressed it so bluntly and just expressed it at all, it just really brought a smile to my face thinking about being young ;)

A farewell speech

Image
(Just because it's fun to remember...and because I got so much help from my friends, I might as well post it here in case it can help someone someday.) The teachers and students were super surprised and super excited that I spoke so much Japanese in my speech. Obviously I didn't write all, or even most, of the Japanese in this speech, but the students and teachers appreciated the gesture so much that I am really glad I just asked for help from as many Japanese-studying/speaking friends as I could.  ------------------------------------------------------------- Mina-san, konnichiwa/ohaiyogozaimasu.  Good morningeveryone!    I have been in Japan and teaching at Ikakita (my school's nickname) for one year, and it has been very enjoyable. Ima made watashi wa ichi-nen-kan Nihon ni ite, Ikakita de oshiete imashita, taihen tanoshikatta desu. It's a shame that I have to leaveIkakita. Ikakita o sarukoto ni nari, zannen desu.

Review: Victoria's Secret Ruched Convertible Dress

Image
I love trying on dresses :) Ever since my friend Cherilyn showed me this dress I've been wanting to try it, so when I found it on eBay for $29.99 (Retail $88) I had to buy it for her birthday. And of course I had to try it out first (just to make sure it was as awesome as it looks in the catalog) First of all, I apologize for my obvious novice-ness in modeling clothing. It took almost the whole time for me to realize that my hair was down and I was wearing white stockings. This is in the Twisted Front Halter. To style: 1. Step into dress with the top of the dress just under your bustline. 2. Cross the straps in front so that no hole is present. 3. Re-cross the straps in the back 4. Wrap then ends under the bustline and tuck in or knot the ends. The is my variation on the Strapless version. To style: 1. Step into dress with the top of the dress right above the bustline. 2. Cross both straps in front right on your bustline and continue wrapping in a crossing style under the bustline...

Extended About Me (part 5 of 5)

As I am preparing to return to grad school once again, I can't help but reflect back to one of the first papers I wrote in graduate school. Here's the end of my "Extended About Me" from August 2013:    I returned from Japan almost exactly one year ago, certain that I wanted to go back to school, but uncertain of how to translate my interest in out of classroom learning into a degree program. Even though I knew I was not going to stay in Japan for more than a year, I dreaded returning to California without an idea of where I was going next. After all the work I had done, would it be a step backwards? To alleviate my conflict, I knew that I wanted to get a job in a community school, and within a week I had a first grade teacher’s aide position at a Catholic elementary school which neighbored my own elementary school. Providing service to my home community proved more fulfilling that I ever envisioned. One day, I stayed seven hours past my typical clocking out time t...
