On getting hit on
dear predators, two tips:
1) when prey deliberately tries to avoid eye contact, do not pursue.
2) if elementary steps of pursuit are successful, when prey puts on glasses do not say "oh you have glasses?.. I guess that's okay" a short pause will occur, followed by no success.

pet peeve #1873256
people who constantly interrupt you! how frustrating, especially since sometimes they are very nice people who are just oblivious of it so you get confused and can't be mad at them :\??
(pet peeve applies especially when you are listening to gr8 song and they keep talking over it)

work and food
I've come to realize that food often plays an important role in the workplace. For instance when I worked @ stadium, players and SMI alike would carry on from prepractice, practice, and post practice with the thought of nice warm training table to look forwards to afterwards. Here at work its no different. Last Thursday there was a pizza party for research team meeting, and the day after was a giant fudge chocolate cake for celebration of HTVN awards. This monday there was an intern lunch with salmon and quionoa salad, and the day after there was industrial amounts of naan and curry as leftovers from a committee advisory group. Today there are 3 tubs of fried chicken as leftovers from a community forum. I just came back from eating cake at an employee's farewell party. i feel so spoiled! but im not complianing...:D
random musing...my last three jobs have all had pretty much the same initials (SM)
SM for security Monitor for unit 3 before coming a
SMI Sports Medicine Intern for cal athletics and now I'm a
SMI Social Media Intern. kewl. iguess.

2. I just cranked out my first draft of a blogpost I'm writing for the HIV research section of SF. Hope my bawse likes it.
3. If u are by thr civic center check out the sF farmers market. Its ferocious (better than the fruit I last had at Saratoga farmers market! They also have really yummy food trucks to try. Wed and sun-be there!
4. I'm starting to stress. I thought secondaries wouldn't come in until late July and august... guess my grapevine was wrong!
5. Just started anatomy onmonday. From here on out its going to be school 8-10 then straight to Bart then work 11-8 then swim till 9. Study

i feel so third grade doing this
but my weekend was pretty good and I want to document it somewhere.
so.
DEAR DIARY,
fryday: (gotta get down its fryday!) celebrated the closure of my second week of work with a pizza party and making sex protection stocking stuffers: condoms, lube, an HIV awareness flyer, and candy. then went out to dinner with boy @ emmy's pizza shack and michelles (?). (note to self: start yelping again!)
Saturday: Originally I was planning on having the BEST ALL DAY HIKE MAYBE EVEN DISCOVER A NEW CONTINENT hike (even packed tons of water, fueled up on gregoirs, and made berkeley bowl trail mix)... but turned into super lame walk around small lake with lots of yucky brushes and no view. So after half an hour we got back into the car and headed to the legendary carousel on top of grizzly peak!
Ate some overpriced cotton candy,went on an overpriced ride, then went back to cupertino to eat trail mix while watching james bond flirt with some nice ladies on TV. Then came home to chill with the old homeboys who wanted to go to frat party in Berkeley- which was actually kind of fun! Had some quality 101 with Mr. Bill and ended up catching up with my dad's fishing BFF there over a game of pong. lawl. small world
Sunday: SPEAKING Of father.. HEPPY FATHERS DAY! After two years of carrying my tiny beat up toy phone, my family finally went out to renew phone plans. I got this new nexus, which is a sexy piece of sex:
SO PRETTY, now i just gotta figure out how to use it "-.-. The best part was that my parents both got smartphones and they are so technologically challenged that it is just cute watching them try to figure out how to use the phone. example
Case a
cell phone dude: okay so enter in your email address
mom: okay. i am good at techonorogy. j-i-e-u.... there's no N on this phone!
case b
dad: okay so since this is a touchscreen, can i just use my finger to write chinese character on the screen? how i do that?
After cell phones, my fam and I went to five guys for some burgers and, as always, my siblings and I were all embarrased at our parents' behavior. Ma went straight for the free peanuts and carried 5 trays back to our table. She then took 2 trays home. typical -__-. After dinner, had a celebration dessert and gave my pops some well needed shoes. Then, I asked my ma for a trim which I guess she thinks mean cut off as much hair as she wants, thank you mohther.
Drove back to berkz, met my roomates (omg there are 6 girls living in this house that only 4 lived in last year. so much estrogen) and got settled in.
Tomorrow: start first day of anatomy and back to 25 van ness.
so.

ebbing out of my tipZness..
SO. i just came back from a PA PHI party a(yeahhh laugh all you want I'm a graduated senior who just went to a frat party). All in all it was a pretty good experience but it did consecrate in my mind a few solid thoughts
1. I am perpetually awkward in groups of people I don't know or feel the need to impress. Alcohol, though, is often a remedy or at least ameliorates the situation.
2. When my stomach says no, it means no.
As foolish as this sounds, a lot of the time I do believe that alcohol has the effect of making me think extremely clearly. Clearly in the sense that my thoughts are direct and to the point; catered directly towards my most brash and innate desires at the moment. I cut to the point.
I had a good talk with a friend about relationships. I don't feel this is the time to deliberately gush out harbored sentiments, but let this post be a bookmark of a day I learned some things about myself.

dont forget
i am so tired. this is word vomit. there will be grammar errors i dgaf.
notes to self:
use groupons
mail j
mail other j
ear care stuff for cartilage x(
notebook for HIV notes
figure out to do with EDC tickets
sell examcrackers books to vs
udpate:
hellow. i just finished my second monday of work. yaaaayh. Finally got to meet with my supervisor David who was at the HPTN (HIV prevention trials network) conference for the past few weeks.
I'm really liking work so far. I'm finally done with the human subjects training and other of the logistical stuff and finally get to start doing research on some aspect of HIV prevention that I will update for the section's official blog. So far, I'v really been enjoying the brown bag lunches/educational seminars. There are some amazing docs at the HIV research section, and hearing them speak about the developments in HIV prevention, treatment, and vaccine trials I find quite fascinating actually.
The people I work with are all really fun loving. Most of them are from the bay, and i'd have to say like 80% of the staff I work with is homosexual. Nothing wrong with it, just I've never worked in such an environment. They are super friendly and welcoming. I'm not at the point where I would go and hang out with any of them after work, so I tend to just head back to berk after the long shift.
After spending the last 3 days in non stop company with all the hsus and the bro in law I haven't really been lonely. But walking to the bart on my way home, at like 8PM as the sun was setting... I definitely fell into a small slump. Where was the warmth and comfort of the people I am most comfortable with? For the first time in a long while it felt really weird to not have those people to come home to.
But when I actually got back to berk it didn't take long for me to shake that feeling off. My friends were still here, waiting to spend time with me :) What a brat I am to have forgotten this. Having been @ home for so long, I spent most of my free time with one person. I guess this 50 mile difference has actually been pretty good for me; I needed that shove to reinvest in old friends instead of ringing lloyd's doorbell to troll him every day.
okay tomorrrow's a big day! actually not really, but kind of. I am meeting with professor machen tomorrow to finish off my final LOR. I am pretty excited to be done with the app, but i know secondaries are going to pour in as soon as I blink -___-
also, my hair is growing pretty long. Debating whether to trim it or let it grow even longer.
my stomach hurts :( chih ming why did you feed me that grapefruit after swimming.

HAI WURLD
HI erryone. Lots to blog for today; the last few days were kinda eventful. lacking the energy to be creative here so im going to bullet
-Finally submitted my AMCAS. Yes.
- Last Thurs went to get pho with Vu and got some pretty badass food poisoning (i think)? woke up at 2, 4, 8, and 10 for some glorious puking sessions (noodles and tiny chunks of meat included). My entire body was exhausted. It sucked. But at the same time it was kinda cool becuase i never got food poisoning before. Turns out Lloyd had all the same symptoms yesterday (including bi-hourly puking)! so maybe I had stomach flu??
-Started my first day of work as the Social Media Coordinator for the HIV research section of the SF dept. of public health. I am slowly familiarizing myself with a few different websites ( sfisready.org is one of the better made ones, imho). To familiarize myself with how to use the social media website I will be working with this summer I made an experimental blags/twitter. Nothing interesting to look at, more for me to play with.

www.twitter.com/mOfns
-My co-workers are splendidly awesome. So far there are only two interns my around my age (Jen and Kevin) but the work on a different floor :( Luckily, Sersha, Dr. Fuchs,Jonathan, Aaron, and all of the other nice (NOT to mention good looking ;) employees are super nice to me.
-Moved back into an empty 2121. I am currently without internet and will be challenged to finish this post doubletime speed by the time sonoma closes (in 5 min!!)
-One thing I realized is that I hate not moving. I like my job except for the fact that I don't get to talk to enough people (hopefully this changes soon) and also, since my job is a social media intern, my domain is the cpu. And since my domain is the CPU I sit all day. I hate that part. I am going to try and keep moving by trying to get out asap so I can hit the pool before it closes at 9, but we'll see how feasible that is :\
okay goodbye. closing time.

already on fb but in dire need of a repost
i would give a month of my life to curl under the covers and be 8 again, watching these QUALITY shows on TV with my siblings while my mom made kimbap in the kitchen
can't post power rangers or batman -____--
can't post power rangers or batman -____--
mild spoiler (no longer a spoiler, been cenosred 8)).
i reposted this on my fb like a million times then i felt bad for possibly mildly spoiling the movie
in a nutshell: x men first class= great movie! I have particularly strong affinity because my bros and sis would all watch this show on fox kids when we were all runts (13+ years ago!)
YET, when _______ dies I cannot help but wonder..
why does the b_ack guy always die first?
