was in a law class for the first time yesterday. got a little taste of looking at contracts from a law perspective. now i kinda want to go to law school just for the hell of it. it's all really good practical knowledge that i think everybody need to know in order not to be screwed. afterwards, I went to v bar with my friend to just hang out then dinner. they had live jazz at the restaurant, really nice to sit and chill. i got aquinted with the band. One of the guys said he'd teach me how to play base, since i've always wanted to learn to play an instrument.

i was at an apple film-making get together two days ago. it feels like back in engineering school where i was one of the few women there. apparently there's a new way of blogging--Vlogging. yep, ya heard it! xanga is outdated! http://futuremediatv.blogspot.com/ and http://www.rocketboom.com/vlog/ are the websites pioneerd in this so called Vlogging. with the power of internet, everyone now has the power of broadcasting news. we are defintely at a new era of media age.

went to the bar two nites in a row, but didn't get any alcohol. i don't feel like drinking anymore. but seems to me that work and drinking is very tightly tied together. or just socializing in general has alot to do with drinking. i thought after college drinking would die down, but it was just the beginning. um...interesting observation. another thought, the waiter called me senorita yesterday which finally made me realizing maybe it's time to learn some spanish. it can't hurt.

the good news is that i have two offers now. after 3 months of job search, i'm finally seeing the light. but the dilemma is deciding where to work at. it would be alot easier if they are both in the bay area. but it just happens to be one is in LA, which makes it difficult to make parallel judgements. the offers are kinda tricky. i guess that's how they get you. i thought when the offer comes, that's the end. but not really. just trying to make sure i make the best decision, since it is a big transition of my life.

on the bright side, i'm no longer going to be unemployed. wheee! the company in LA actually has a open position for Willie. it's kinda out of the blue, but maybe i can recruit him to go to LA with me. then i would be the woman who got her man the job. oh, willie and i also booked the tix to go to the east coast by thanksgiving/x'mas time. i'm just really happy now. lobsters, cheesesteak and Manhattan here i go! hahah

Portland here I come. Wheee! I'm going to Portland for an ons-site interview, but the biggest thing on my agenda is going shopping. heheh, my spending habit, what can I say? it's tax free in Oregan, might as well do it there. If I do end up getting a job there, that's even better. but I do hope I don't become one of those women live in their shoes.

lately I've been thinking about this online blog thing. you write things thinking that only your friends read about it. since they know you, they'll understand your jokes and etc. but i was so wrong. i normally wouldn't read ppl's blog if i'm not good friend with them; apparently some ppl do. with all these stories in the news about ppl writing personally things online and got into trouble, i'm really giving it a second thought now. well, so far i haven't wrote about corporate secret stuff(that's what gets ppl in trouble). but i still can't believe this person i barely know take my words out of context and manipulate the truth. there is actually somebody believes he knows all about me by reading my blog. if i was in 8th grade it wouldn't be too shocking, but i'm 22, now. crazy drama.

speaking of drama, i'm glad my friend finally made it to school despite the drama in her life. we try to be there for each other. i can't believe 4 years later we are all at really happy place. there are times we really think we couldn't make it, but we always believed the other person would be ok. sometimes with other people's faith in you, you'll have just enough strength to make it to the toughest time.
