Barbra Streisand

"Singer Barbra Streisand has been ordered to pay a six-figure sum to an amateur photographer whom she had sued for $10m (£5.5m) in a privacy dispute."

What's that, Barbra? You're a whiny little bitch? The idea that this filthy rich celebrity decided to sue an amateur photographer for $10 million is somewhere along the lines of lunacy.

"But he took a picture of my multimillion dollar estate!"

Are you out of your mind? I don't care what kind of problem you have with stalkers, suing a non celebrity/CEO for $10 million is just plain stupid. Is it possible that celebrities are so warped in their own little worlds that they don't realize that a normal human being can't pay $10 million? I hate celebrities who have no appreciation for what they have and what's been given to them. They make 100x the average person's salary and all they can do is bitch about how fans keep bothering them. And on occasion, their millions of dollars just aren't enough so they have to go and sue some Joe Schmoe for $10 million more.

Childhood memories

When I was four, I used to like to spread cooked rice on my face. I would literally stick my hand in the rice cooker and smear it all over. Then I got in trouble, and my mom took pictures of me crying. How sadistic is that…haha.

When I was five, I stuck a pearl up my nose and crawled under my mom’s bed.

That same year, I liked running around butt ass naked while my mom would change me and posing for my mom to take pictures of my butt.

When I was 6, I found out I was chionophobic (fear of snow) and I hated the cold. However, that phobia disappeared after a while. Good thing because I would’ve never learned to figure skate.

When I was 7, I loved building tents/forts/shacks in my room. I would steal food from the refridgerator and camp out. Robinson Crusoe was my hero.

That same year, I watched The Little Mermaid so much the VCR ate my tape. I was sad. =( Then I would just go to the spa with my mom and pretend to be Ariel in the pool. I think I even bound my feet together (because you know, mermaids don't have legs) with something, don't remember what, but I had a bit of trouble swimming as you can imagine.

When I was 8, I had a fetish of sticking random things on my body. I have pictures to prove how random these things were.

When I was 8 ½ , I liked sticking rose thorns on my nose. I also liked making outfits for my barbies out of tissues and scotch tape. I applied make-up (especially red lipstick) with a lip brush to all my barbies before they started their day with Ken.

When I was 9 and until today, I used to cut up my neighbor’s plants and make meals out of them. (i.e. salads, thicker leaves would be cut up and labeled steak).

When I was 10, I started wearing heels. Headbands became a fetish. Got into nail polish and pink Tinkerbell lipstick which I would reapply every 2 seconds.

When I was 10 ½, I talked to my drawings. The girl characters and the boy characters started liking each other.That same year, I liked feeding honey and sugar to ants in my driveway.

When I was 11, I would hold math class with my neighborhood friends and I, of course, was the teacher. I gave tests and everything. The whole nine yards.When I was 12, I used to go around giving cootie shots with my lead pencil. My fellow classmates called me the “school nurse.”

When I was 13, the boobs appeared. Year 13 was seriously a fashion nightmare.

When I was 15, the boobs got larger. The story ends here. Childhood over. Life begins.

My mom only recalls me falling twice in my childhood. I’ve never broken a bone. I was a cautious kid, what can I say =) God what happened to me???

I was a strange kid. I really was. It was all part of the OCS (Only Child Syndrome). I made that up in high school. I did strange things. O_o My mom and dad used to think I had problems. They probably still do.

What else? I can't remember. There's DEFINITELY more. I need to dig through my brain and retrace some more and I'll get back to ya. Not an easy process you know. G'night.

Keeping fit

Robeks is so much better for you than Jamba Juice. Jamba Juice has SO MUCH SUGAR it's insane! An orange dream machine has 110 grams of sugar. God that's like drinking 3 cokes! However, Robeks has an average of 36 grams per drink. So everybody go to Robeks if you care about your health...haha.

You know, I used to hate my broad shoulders because I always wanted to be a petite girl, but not anymore. I found out having defined shoulders looks better and makes it easier to tone your arms, so now I embrace them.

Does anyone want to go to my gym with me? I go to the most awesome gym with really cool classes like Black Belt Ballet, Cardio Striptease, Kama Sutra Yoga, Dance Street, etc. But the classes are intense and so are the trainers. But that's what you get for paying the fare there so take advantage of me and go as my gym buddy!! Just let me know so I can put you on my guest list.

The best weather these days! OH GOD it's almost orgasmic. I went to the beach yesterday and the weather was perfect. I was on the pier and I wasn't even cold. Just a great warm breeze...

Another thing. I am the QUEEN OF MARIO KART. UNBREAKABLE. UNBEATABLE. UNTOUCHABLE. ZIP. I went to my friend's Paul apartment yesterday at UCLA and I beat him and all of his roommates. YEEAAH...girl power.

You can never be too old for video games, as long as your co-workers never find out your idol is Yoshi and you have the hots for mario. LOL. JK.

Feeling loved

I'm feeling really good about myself. When things get hard there are people who just try to make your life more difficult and then there's people who somehow manage to make your life easier. Recently I've experienced the latter.

Yesterday I got to talk to a younger friend of mine who I hadn't had contact with for about 3 years. Well we talked for a while and she told me how she was doing and I told her what was going on with me...basially just touch base.. but what really got to me in the convo was when she told me I had always been her role model. How great is it to know you are someone's role model? Pretty damn good I tell you...

Then today I received a card from a classmate of mine who I don't actually know well at all. I just know her name and that she's a very attractive Kristin Kreuk look-alike, but she sent me a card telling me how much she admired me as a person because I'm always working hard at my success and thanked me for making her feel comfortable the first few weeks we were at college (we had class together) by just being a friendly, easygoing person. That message was the highlight of my day and I didn't get to see her and thank her and I won't be able to because I'm leaving tommorow, which kind of sucks, but it feels so good to know I made a difference in someone's life. I was really flattered.

The next couple weeks I will be participating in a number of volunteer and community service events. I know that I'll definitely find that very fulfilling.When things get really crazy I think of the people I love and the people that love me...but it's just so nice when you find out someone you didn't expect be thinking about you had you in their thoughts. It's just those surprises that keep me going. My life in the last year has had a lot of those.

The Importance of Sunscreen

The importance of sunscreen.As summer is just days away, and everyone will be out in the sun, I will discuss the importance of sunscreen. Sunscreen is important, very important, but I don't wear it. Why? Because most sunscreens are greasy and I hate feeling greasy, which means I don't like wearing lotion (I'm rarely dry anyway), handcreams, facecreams, buttcreams, whatever, I only wear the lightest, fluffiest face lotion by DDF on my face before I put on make-up. But sunscreen is damn important, and I realized this after a classmate of mine gave a presentation on why sunscreen is so vital. Did all of you even know that SPF stood for "sun protection factor"? Because most people don't. When I use to go swimming I'd go for like the mega sunscreen with SPF 75, but now I found out that It's a fact anything higher than SPF 35, like those SPF 50s and SPF 75s don't protect you any more than an SPF 30, just another money making scheme. I should start wearing it and everyone else should too. Nobody wants pre-mature wrinkles at 25 because they liked to tan when they were 16 and nobody wants skin cancer either. Can you believe 80 percent of lifetime damage from sun exposure occurs before age 18? I soooo regret going to tanning salons and lying in those UVA/UVB light infested beds. Now I've switched over to spray-tanning. It's a proven fact that caucasians age quicker than darker people because lighter skin doesn't have enough melanin to absorb the damaging rays and I've noticed it too. Wonder why asians don't age quicker than others? Guess we're just lucky..aha. Anyways, the sun's rays are the strongest from 10am-3pm especially during late spring (right now) and summer, and damnit b/c that's when I'm in the sun the most!!! Also, whether your sunscreen is fruit-scented foam or sparkly blue gel, make sure the label says broad-spectrum or both UVA and UVB protection. UVB rays are more likely to cause sunburn than the UVA rays. Ideally, sunscreens should protect against both UV rays. The most common ingredient in sunscreen that aids UVB absorption is PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid). PABA often is linked to allergic reactions, so if you have sensitive skin, read the label carefully and avoid PABA. Other common active sunscreen ingredients include Cinnamates to absorb UVB rays, Benzophenones to absorb UVA rays, and Anthranilates to absorb both UVA and UVB rays, so look for those and be safe in the sun!! ; )

Nicholas Cage & Alice Kim

Article - Hollywood movie star Nicholas Cage is to wed a broke waitress he met two months ago in a sushi bar. According to The Sun, Cage proposed to 19-year-old Alice Kim with a huge diamond and emerald ring.

Nicholas met Alice when he was out dining with friends on Valentine’s Day at Sushi Avenue, where she worked.The star of Gone in 60 Seconds became so captivated by Alice while he was there that he invited her to the Oscars with him the following month. Cage, who is more than twice Alice’s age, created quite a stir at some of the Oscar after-show parties when he was seen with her on his knee. Since their Oscar date the actor has taken Alice in his private jet for several romantic meals in New Orleans and Chicago, where he has been filming.

A friend said: “Nic has really fallen for this girl. She lives with her family because she can’t afford her own place.“

Alice loves the ring Nic gave her and she was totally amazed by his actions. She keeps pinching herself to check she’s not dreaming.

“It’s not every day a hard-up waitress is swept off her feet by a Hollywood movie star.”

Cage hasn’t got a great track record when it comes to relationships. The twice-married star proposed to his first wife actress Patricia Arquette the first day they met in the early eighties. Arquette tried to fob him off by challenging him to a list of tasks he would have to complete to win her over. But when he started to fulfil her wishes she panicked and took off. They met up again a few years later and finally married in 1995 – but divorced in 2001.

Cage, who is well known for his obsession with Elvis Presley, went on to marry the King’s daughter Lisa Marie – but it only lasted three months and 15 days.

He later admitted that he “shouldn’t have married in the first place”. - End of Article

Okay so we all know where this is going. One word: GOLD DIGGER. She might like him but only because he's rich and famous and he just has a fetish for Asian girls. Supposedly they went to Disneyland with her whole family and we hear they're happy she's (they're) not going to be broke anymore. Let's see how long this one lasts...

There is something seriously wrong with what we're doing now if all we want is 'to go back to the past'.

Robot Mom Dream

I had a dream that I was a robot and was pregnant. But I felt completely human though. I was similar to an AI robot. I was one of many human robots that had to be transported because some people were out to destroy all the robots, called the DUI or something. We stood in line for hours at the pick-up zone and my husband was so worried about me because we were going to be separated. And by the way, I can never see my husband's face in my dreams, that pisses me off.

Anyways, they dropped me off at this house and all of a sudden I had two kids with me, which were mine, and we walked into this really crappy looking house and stayed there for days with a freaky old lady. I was so worried the DUI were going to come get us so I kept looking out the window. It was close to Christmas so we made presents and I sent them to my mom. It was really strange I was extremely motherly with my kids. I could just feel worrying about them being hungry or cold and I kept telling him "Daddy went to work, he'll be back soon.." over and over again, and then I woke up, and I thought, "Wow, I'm a pretty good mom."

ROBOT MOM TO THE RESCUE!!!

Too bad I didn't see my husband again. I looked up the stuff in my dream from a dream dictionary and this is what it said....

"To dream that you are pregnant, symbolizes an aspect of yourself or some aspect of your personal life that is growing and developing. You may not be ready to talk about it or act on it. This may also represent the birth of a new idea, direction, project or goal."

"To see children in your dream, signifies your own childlike qualities or a retreat back to a childlike state. It is an extension of your inner child during a time of innocence, purity, simplicity, and a carefree attitude. You may be longing for the past and the chance to satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes. Take some time off and cater to the inner child within. Perhaps there is something that you need to see grow and nurtured."

"To dream that you have a husband (but you do not in your waking life), symbolizes some sort of partnership and/or commitment. Often, it is also representative of the qualities of your father in which you projected onto this figure or the masculine side of your own personality. "

"To see an old, run-down house in your dream, represents your old beliefs, attitudes and how you used to think or feel. A situation in your current life may be bringing about those same old attitudes and feelings. Alternatively, the old house may symbolize your need to update you mode of thinking."

"To see a robot in your dream, indicates that you are going about life in a mechanical and rigid way. You have lost the ability to express your feelings. Alternatively, a robot may symbolize the way you view your working life."

Penguin's Ball.

So tonight, or should I say last night, was the Penguin's Ball. It actually pretty fun although I expected more people who said they were coming to be there but overall it has been one of the better events of this year. I got hit on by 2 random guys and I said I was too tired to dance, which brings me to the realization that I really don't like being hit on. A lot of people were shit face drunk, including Samdi, a senior friend of mine who was so drunk he picked me up and wouldn't let me down, then followed me into the bathroom for no reason, which was when I ran away. However, the best part of the night was that I won the raffle. I did a lot of gambling and by the end had a crap load of chips so I traded them in for a long string of raffle tickets. Don't know what I won though. Paul said to come to his office on Monday. Unlike the ball, the boat dance back earlier in the year was just disaster. People got seasick and piss ass drunks made it worse.One girl sprained her ankle because she fell down the stairs while the boat was rocking. I was so tired that night I fell asleep on the table, so yeah that night goes into my box of forgettable memories.

HEA Drug Provision

Why can't students with drug convictions get financial aid!!??

I was always wondered back in the days of filling out the oh so wonderful FAFSA why they asked in one section if you had been convicted of drugs...one question...but little did i know that if I had been convicted of drugs and checked yes there was no point in filling out the rest of the FAFSA because I wouldn't get any financial aid. However, about 47,000 students check yes and they end up not being able to go to college. Why? It's this little thing called the HEA Drug Provision. The HEA Drug Provision denies federal aid to any student convicted of a drug offense....in other words it was written to deter kids from going to college and mess their lives up even more. What the f*ck are these people thinking? Do they think not letting kids having the financial assistance to go to school is a productive approach to the drug abuse?? Don't educators say that an access to a college education is the best road to the mainstream economy and a crime-free life?? Kids make mistakes and more often than not kids look back at junior high/high school druggie days and think "What the f*ck was I thinking??" I mean really, although a person was convicted of drugs, they still have a future...it's what they make of it...and kids should have second chances because they f*ck up... But these people are trying to crush the hopes and dreams of those people who actually want to make something of their lives...How f*cked up is that???

Fortunately, last year, Rep. Barney Frank reintroduced his legislation to repeal the drug provision in full. Support H.R. 685, a bill to repeal the HEA Drug Provision here.
