its sad to admit that I havent really had much of social life since i started work...but hey i still got to go to SD like i had planned and visited the sister and the family friend...got my karaoke fix! ....and yogurt world craving  . ...AND, altho it was thanksgiving break last week, all i did was pretty much catch up on sleep, eat and study. Didnt really do all that much else too exciting...D&B? yea...it should be an awesome weekend ahead of me.

honorary post

so .... in the name of negliglect...i will post something there new to read, to all those none lj friends of mine who still have not converted yet~~~ *shakes fist at you*

anyways...what do you want to know?? how life is after graduation??! = SWEET!!! :] absolutely wonderful not having to worry about exams...finding sublets or what to do with your lease, and moving!! pain in the....AND on top of that you have a degree to show for all your hard work :p yea. best part would be sleeping in everyday, or most of the days anyway, until a job is found. otherwise, life is grand.

oh oh and who could forget home cooking?? almost forgot, how could I!? i know...what a huge factor of home life! mom's cooking always wins #1 ;)

it's definitely nice not having to commute every3-4 weeks back home for laundry and groceries...AND the fact that there's ALL different types of grocery shopping here: Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Organic, etc... HAHHA ahh I LOVE FOOD, but...u guys already knew that xp

although it sounds sweet, actually i kind of miss the freedom from college life, staying up late, going out without having to report where you're going and when you'd get back or who you're hanging out with. that was nice. Now it just means i have to find something that will be able to sustain me financially so i can have that taste of independence back.

other depts of life: "never say never." has definitely come back to bite me in the butt, cuz i did say it, that it'd never happen, tho sharkie, you may tried and tried and forced the idea down my throat with no avail. since i utterly rejected it with my stubborness and well, distrust in that area of my life...and NOW look what happened, you were right. damn it, i hate it when that happens! ;-]

some reason i just wanna say, 'carpe diem' and take one day as it comes :]

EDIT: (pasted from  http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/medical/a/bottled-water.htm ), courtesy of PJ, thanks!

Comments: False. In the United States, plastic water bottles are regulated by the FDA as "food contact substances" and held to the same safety standards as food additives.

This means, among other things, that the FDA has reviewed test data on the safety of the plastics used in water bottles -- including the potential for hazardous chemicals leaching or "migrating" from the plastic into the water -- and established that they pose no significant risk to human health. The water itself is also tested and must meet basic quality standards similar to those set by the Environmental Protection Agency for public drinking water.

That is not to say that bottled water is absolutely free of contaminants, nor that chemical leaching never takes place. Studies done on water bottled in FDA-approved polyethylene terephthalate (PET), for example, did find trace amounts of potentially hazardous substances believed to have migrated from the plastic. The important point to take away, however, is that these amounts were very small and well within the safety limits set by FDA and EPA regulators.

According to Dr. Rolf Halden of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, consumers face a much greater risk from potential exposure to microbial contaminants in bottled water -- germs, to you and me -- than from chemical ones.

Note: Some versions of this message contain the additional false claim that pop singer Sheryl Crow claims she developed breast cancer as a result of drinking bottled water.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

another one of those fwd: emails from my mother =_= but this one i thought to be useful enough to share..., so here you go:

Drinking Bottled Water Kept in Your Car

This is how Sheryl Crow got breast cancer she was on the Ellen show and She said this same exact thing.

So please be very careful ladies.

DrinkingBottled Water Kept in Car....a friend whose mother recently gotdiagnosed with breast cancer. The doctor told her: women should notdrink bottled water that has been left in a car. The doctor said thatthe heat and the plastic of the bottle have certain chemicals that canlead to breast cancer. So please be careful and do not drink that waterbottle that has been left in a car and pass this on to all the women inyour life. This information is the kind we need to know and be awareand just might save us!!!! The heat causes toxins from the plastic toleak into the water and they have found these toxins in breast tissue.Use a stainless steel Canteen or a glass bottle when you can!!!


This is something to read and pass along.  Have a great dayJ
