People need to start taking responsibility for themselves. No, this isn't a rendition of Obama's words, but a rebuttal to the endless excuses people use as a crutch for their shortcomings.
"You're fat."
No, it's just the steroids AND I have asthma.
"Why didn't you just get yourself an education?"
Because! I don't have money and I don't have enough time.
"But you didn't vote."
But I have the right to complain and banter all I want cause I'm an American.
"You needed to dance it a lot cleaner."
I know, but he was in my way and I can't see and I have long arms.
I'm sick of it. You need to accept your actions and know that you are the sole problem/solution to your failure/progress. For those who continuously seek for new places and people to push the blame on, you look weak, pitiful, and unreliable.
In the past week, this irresponsibility has become more apparent. Its disappointing to see friends and family fall to into the endless pit of excuse rather than to admit wrong, apologize, and correct it. It's that easy.
So the next time you take a hit of criticism, accept it and move on. Don't face it with animosity or any other type of cold feeling shit, grow the fuck up and move the hell on. What you should've said was, "Okay maybe I eat too much, was lazy to go to school, didn't care about voting, and need to polish my dancing."
Liek Kanye said, don't complain without giving a solution. You bitches.

Frequent blogging.
Since the start of summer, I've blogged almost every single day (sometimes several times in ONE day), but thankfully you all don't have to sit through this and read all of them since they're on private. And only the most random, concentrated, and unavoidable posts get published.
Thus, I feel the need to blog! Right now.
I am a semi-declared political science major (with an emphasis on international relations, pre-law and a minor in legal studies)! Eat that up. I will be taking on a whole 15 units this first quarter at UCSB, but most importantly- I am looking forward to my bicyclette!
Welll.... It will most likely NOT look like the one shown above, but that would be pretty damn awesome to have a bike that runs- and doesn't bike. Get it?
Anyways, I was watching the latest episode of Baby Borrowers. For those of you who don't know, Baby Borrowers is an NBC episode which is on (coincidentally) the same time as SYTYCD, so I'm frustrated when I have to switch back and forth between the two, but thats when I realize that Rej has TiVo! Woohoo. Well anyways, Baby Borrowers consists of 5 or so teenage couples trying their hand at raising children, all ranging from the infantry to preteens to teenagers. It is absolutely educational and most applicable! I mean, here you have a bunch of kids raising kids- both crying and complaining at the same time, intertwined with dogs, reptiles, and poop. This is an overeager advertisement, so bear with me and just waaattttccchhh.
And thats the end of this rant! But for now, check out this karate kick.

News!
Being an unemployed, broke, and fabulous college student, I decided to fill my summer nights with dance.
Sissy and I have been working on a piece choreographed to Chris Brown and Keri Hilson's new single, Superhuman. At first glance, it appears to be lesbian orientated, but take a deeper look and you find that it is the internal struggle and apprehension of love! Pull, tug, push, take.
Hahahaha, well lately my blogs have been an over-eager desperado's interpretations of amore. Whats gotten into me?!?!
Just expect to see some dance video up soon, in the luxury of our own living rooms.
Dizzer!

Shot and miss.
I've made up my mind,
Don't need to think it over,
If I'm wrong I am right,
Don't need to look no further,
This ain't lust,
I know this is love but,
If I tell the world,
I'll never say enough,
Cause it was not said to you,
And thats exactly what I need to do,
If I'm in love with you,
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
I'd build myself up,
And fly around in circles,
Wait then as my heart drops,
And my back begins to tingle
Finally could this be it...

This song is beautiful, and I just absolutely had to blog two consecutive days just to show it off. 'Chasing Pavements' depicts the triumph of love in the most confusing and frustrating of situations, and we often find ourselves asking the same question, "Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements, even if it leads no where?"
Gets you to thinking, is a fight really worth the fight even if you lose? Sure, your answer may be crisp and sure now, but this question becomes more and more blurred as you plummet into love's entrapment. So, is love's battle really worth the tears, the heart ache, and the tarnish for a dismantled (and often times, hard to find) guarantee of happiness?
Not to mention, Adele's voice is such a bright light against the midst of some depressing Brit soul singers (ie; Amy Winehouse). Also, the music video is deliciously bittersweet, beautiful in it's illustration of love's willpower and destruction. And I absolutely adore the pieces of choreographed pavement shadows!
Thought I'd enlighten you with that, this song has quickly made its way to the top of my 'most played' playlist.
Enjoy,
Euphoric and smitten

Freshman Orientation!
Exciting. My sister, Elaine, mi madre, and I headed down to SB at 3 AM on Thursday. We sifted our way through a winding 101, ash clouds just south of Watsonville, and a groggy Pismo beach breakfast to finally get to a cool, calm, beautiful UCSB campus.
The girls couldnt wait to drop me off, and there I was, left all alone on this huge campus at 8:00 AM. I walked and walked and walked and walked until I found the meeting hall. Then all the Poli-Sci majors got together. Met some new friends, mainly all from SoCal, all of whom were surprisingly shocked at my overuse of "hella". Hahaha, it was sooo hilarious- they've never heard it in their lifetimes, and they just listened and observed like I was some kind of foreign animal. Well I probably was super foreign, if not the fact that i was one of the handful of asians, and also because I said hella words like hella.
That night, we went to venture into the small neighboring town of Isla Vista. This totally unassuming hitch of a town was quaint and comfy, and I look forward to spending many a coffee break here in a couple months. Elsa and I were on the verge of getting new tattoos! ALMOST, almost.
Well orientation was wonderful, and in my spare time i took a 5 minute walk down to the beach to relax. My only complaint would have to be sharing a dorm and a bathroom. Although there are only four people to a bathroom, it just felt as grimy and uneasy as a port-a-potty. My roommate went to sleep at 9, and woke up at 4. BUT I cant start complaining now, I have a whole year ahead of me.
The closet is teeny weeny compared to my huck of stuff I can't leave in San Jose. I'm getting a load of complaints from my parents to pack in seasons, and to filter out my clothes everytime I return home. But I cant possibly do that, considering that SB weather fluctuates from the nippiest of winters to the stickiest of summers. And that is my excuse :)
I'm excited, scared, nervous, and happy all at the same time. We'll see what happens in September. Two months till move in date!

Time to blog!
I just got back from Fresno last night, so scuse me for my steady recovery.
Anyways! GOOD FOR YOU, damn. Just what you wanted- easy, accessible, and sleezy (with some ugly on the side). So glad you made futile attempts to appear 'cute' and 'cuddly' once I was in the vicinity. Failed at that, considering that I just thought you were attempting to get laid by the house slut.
On to better news, Fresno! Haha, well. July fourth was amazing, my beau and I headed to Jer's casa to frolick with the Lee's, mingle with some four year olds, and dont forget, sizzle in the heat of the unrelenting sun.
After my recovery, I will be heading down to Santa Barbara on Wednesday with the girls (including my madre this time) for orientation. OMG, I'm so damn psyched. Except for the little factor that a forest fire has engulfed all the fresh air, and nearly Goleta (exactly where we were planning to stay). But no worries, I will find a way and a hotel (right after this blog).
Next year... is going to be soooooo hard and sooooo scary with out you. You have engraved your ethics, nature, and goodness into my heart for the past 3 years, and what am I to do without you? Well, thats for another blog.
Summer is a drag. Someone come save me.
