Going to Korea!

I've almost got everything done and ready to go. A few things to do:

1. Wash a few things and do some packing and then take off to work by 9am to 10am.
2. Work until 4pm or 5pm.
3. Go home and finish packing.
4. Do last minute visiting family that I haven't gone to visit.
5. Have my brother pick me up to sleep at his place. (Because my mom said it's bad luck or so to leave home on a Saturday.)
6. Spend a bit time with my sister and brother.
7. Double check everything that I'm taking with me.
8. Go to sleep. (Hopefully by 8pm but at the latest 9pm.)
9. Wake up at or around 3am and get ready to leave.
10. Eat breakfast.
11. Take off by 4am or at the latest 4:30am.
12. Should arrive at the airport by 5pm-ish.
13. Departure to Chicago is 6:50am.
14. Departure to Seoul is 11:30am.
15. Arrival to Seoul at 4:30pm on February 6th. (*^_^*) Yay!

So that is my long list.

What do I plan to do on the plane?
1. Read
2. Watch videos on either my iTouch or laptop
3. Listen to music on iTouch and go to sleep
4. Look over my stuff and read important paper works
5. Something that I hadn't thought of yet.

That's it for now. I'll update later when the time gets closer. :)

Body MakeOver

At the start of every year, I always make a New Year's resolution to LOSE WEIGHT, but it never works out. I get lazy half way throughout the year. A lot of things gets in my way of my goal. Like, studying for exams, doing homework, making free time for myself to watch anime/movie/drama or read books/manga, and doing some house chores. This long list just sounds like a big excuse. I know that if I was really determined, then I could make the time to workout for at least 30 minutes to an hour.

I've talked to a few people, and they've told me how it's really really hard to start working out. I raise my hand up high. YES! It's freakin' hard to lose weight when you first start out. I'm motivating myself all the time in my head, but my damn body...and head just doesn't want to move or do anything but read books/manga or watch anime/drama. Since, I now have an iPod Touch 4G, I hope to use it to motivate me in my workout. I can read or watch something on it while I pedal the bike machine. :)

Seriously, this year I really want to make a difference in my life and in others. I want to lose weight and be happy about my body when I look in the mirror or at myself. It's so depressing when I put on a pair of my old nice pants, and I find out that it doesn't fit or zip. I just want to cry. :( I hate to buy bigger clothes. It makes me more depressed about my weight. To not feel so depressed, I turn to books, anime, manga, and games. The other difference I want to make is to become a great English teacher when I'm in South Korea for the TaLK program. It will be my first time teaching, so I hope to do a good job. I will leaving to South Korea early February. I'm so excited!

Besides my Body MakeOver, my car needs one too. LOL. I got in a car accident early November, and I don't really like to talk about it. My fault. :( Anyways, my front fender, front bumper, left headlights are broken or damaged. :( There are also some internal damages, but I'm not sure what the parts are. Later, I had found out that my tail lights died. I should fix it soon, but I haven't. When it comes to taking care of my car, I'm a bit lazy to do that. Because I hate to wait for my car to get done, and it's so cold right now. For some reason the cold weather makes me lazy and makes me want to hibernate like a bear. It's all too expensive for me to fix right now, because I need to save my money for my trip to South Korea.

I will update when I finally start working out. (Hopefully, it's real soon.)

The New Year 2011

So, it's another new year.... It's been probably one of the worst starts for me, since I got sick with the stomach flu on the morning of the 2nd of January. I caught it on New Year's Eve but had no idea. I guess it was a parting gift into the new year. Perhaps? I've been stuck in bed for the past three days now. Only today I've been able to eat a bit more than crackers. I ate Campbell's Broccoli Soup with crackers. It was really good. A lot better than I thought it would be.

Now, I'm trying to recover from this stomach flu that's been a killer. My cousins were in town, and I couldn't even hang with them, because I was sick. :( Tonight, they are going back home, and I don't even get to say, "Bye." I didn't even get to say all that I wanted to either. Oh well, that's what email and facebook are for, right? At least, I got to say, "Bye," to my brother, Meng. It was nice talking to him for a bit before he left. I won't get to see him for a long while. I'm going to miss my family and friends.

I always say I won't get lonely or that I probably won't miss my family much if leave them to go somewhere, but I think I will. I hope to spend some quality time with them all before I leave to South Korea. It's exciting but also nerve-wrecking, because I've never been to another country without my parents or someone else. Someway or another, I think it will be fine. When it comes to the time, somehow I don't know how, I usually figure out things for myself or things work out for themselves. Let's just hope that'll be the case.

Well, I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I did. I had a great time spending time with my family. Had good food and watched some good movies, "The Town" and "..." (Can't remember). Sorry, I can't seem to remember when my head is a bit fuzzy.

Nothing much happened except for the little outbreak at my uncle's and aunt's house of the stomach flu.

Until the next time! (When I'm feeling much better.) (^_^)/*

Happy Christmas Eve!

Happy Christmas Eve to everyone! I didn't do much today, but I enjoyed it a lot today. I had my uncle check out my car's damages, watched Book of Eli, went to a Christmas party at the Hmong church, and now I am at my dad's house.

My brothers, sister, and brother's friend are playing Looney Tunes' Monopoly. Having lots of fun. Today has a been a great day for this year. May tomorrow be as great as today.

I will post up more tomorrow. :)

Harry Potter Movie 7 Pictures and Videos

Sorry everyone for the late posting of the pictures/videos from going to watch HP7. I just got lazy . . . . Anyways, here it is. So, check it out. :)






Here's me and my co-worker and her friends waiting in line for the movie, HP7. I got lucky that I saw here, and she let me cut in line. We were about number 100 in line out of 473.



Here's me moving finally moving and about to enter the theater room.

Sorry, this wasn't much, but I hope you all enjoyed the one picture and videos.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

The movie was great. I enjoyed it much more than the last one. I saw it last night, a free pre-screening show before midnight at Rave Motion Pictures theater provided by UNO Midnight Mojo. Thanks a bunch to them! *\(^_^)/*

I can't wait for the next one, but I probably will not make it in time to watch it when it comes out in the States, since I'll be in S. Korea. Perhaps, I will be able to watch it there.



***Spoiler Alert from the movie****only read the following if you don't care***


So where does the movie cut off at? --------> When Harry, Ron, and Hermione escape out of the Malfoy's residence to the beach near Ron's brother's cottage and Dobby dies. Lord V finds Dumbledore's coffin and opens it up, stealing the strongest wand. He shoots a spell or something out of the wand, testing out the wand's power and his success at finding it. THE END.

Damn, doesn't that just makes you want to know what happens next?

I'll post up pictures and videos of me, friends, and UNO students at the theater later. :)

Testing out my iPod touch 4G
