| Hellooo.
I spent my day off yesterday in Davis, and I was able to have an amazing day with Phuc. :)
Also, since I didn't blog on October 28th, happy four year anniversary to Phuc and meeee! Whoo-hoo!
Phuc built me an epic road bike for our four year anniversary/Christmas, which I got to be able to try out for the first time in Davis! :D It was super awesome. I didn't get to bring it home just yet because Phuc just needs to touch up some things, but it was still super cool finally being able to bike around Davis and go to all the places that Phuc has been telling me about. A whole bunch of people from high school met me up at the Amtrak station at Davis to say bye, which was really fun too. :)
I learned something interesting the other day: that I'm in a long-distance relationship. I actually didn't really grasp this idea until Joeve commented me a message of congratulations for my four-year anniversary with Phuc: "Christa & Phuc -- Making long-distance relationships possible!" And I pretty much thought, "Hmm. That's right, huh?" Before, I didn't really see ourselves like that. I just knew that I really missed him a lot, and that I was willing to leap across the 130 miles between us in a heartbeat. I have the Amtrak down to an art now. It’s really something else. In fact, it’s really good actually that Phuc has work on the weekends, or else I’d be super poor right now from dropping money to visit him all the time. >_>
Also, I’m pretty sure that my iPod died, after a hardworking five years under my wing. I’m back to retro CD-player use. Thanks, iPod, for your hard work.
and there’s something in the way you laugh
Bye for now.

| Hi!
One of the great things about blogging is the ability to see into the past all crazy-like. And so I think that, considering that it's October, reminiscing about my relationship with Phuc was practically inevitable.
While our four-year anniversary is coming up in two and a half weeks, which in itself is honestly quite an accomplishment (almost half a decade!), the part that really gets me is that this will be our first anniversary out of high school. We now have all of high school to look back on, because we spent all of those four years together. There's something big about my first anniversary out of high school with my high school sweetheart. :O He's my high school sweetheart! :3
I also learned that I dropped some eloquent stuff about Phuc that I almost don't believe I wrote. I'm a little impressed, lol.
Like this, from the closing night of the school play, Scapin:
... Not to berate myself as inferior in any way, but it truly felt like a privilege to just stand there next to him, this classroom celebrity that everyone, everyone sees something worth admiring in him. ... Mind you, I don't feel like I don't deserve him, but "lucky", I'm sure, isn't near the right word. Being by his side really is a privilege, one that fate and faith alike allowed me to borrow and maybe even keep as mine. He stands there on stage for two hours as Scapin and leaves people with their breaths taken. He leaves me swept off my feet everyday.
And I also said this in Feb 2007:
"I'll be all '53 month anniversary yo' before y'all know it."
And guess what? We're approaching our 48-month anniversary. It's really before *I* even knew it. Time flies when you're having fun!
I also found this from a fortune cookie:
And you know what?
After Phuc, I believe it.
:)
17 more days!
your hands on my waist and you kissed me like you meant it, and i knew that you meant it
Bye for now! | | |
| Hello!
It's been one action-packed month since I moved to UC Merced. Very sunshine and cows, oh my!
I'm getting along with most of my suitemates, and my roommate, Dani, has been super cool deluxe so far! I haven't been eating instant noodles as much as I anticipated I would be, 'cos the dining commons food isn't as bad as I expected. My room is SIGNIFICANTLY messier than since I last posted, but I periodically throw everything in my drawers when we're expecting significant company.
I've missed all of my anticipated club meetings! >_>! The reasons have been a diverse mixture of laziness, sleepiness, and forgetfulness.
Phuc has been super great and visited me three times already! :) Once the weekend after I moved, once on Labor Day, and then just this past Wednesday! :O I'm thinking about seeing him on Monday because it'll be September 28th -- our last "28th" until our 4-year anniversary! So yay!!
I also got to spend a whole mess of time with my sister and her boyfriend, Patrick! I've hung out with him like three times and I'm already really comfortable around him, which is a very new experience for me, lol. I fell down at Yosemite National Park and scratched up my knee all awful! D: I also like fat kitty Sasha and chocolate!
I went home to Sacramento for the first time last weekend, which was pretty cooo'. I went to a byebye party for Crystal and Phuc (snap!) and we had a lot of freckled lemonades~. :D
And uhh, I went to my first college party because my roommate and a lot of my neighbors were going, and I wanted to establish whether or not I liked college parties. And it was mostly just alcohol and talking, basically, and I'm not very big on drinking or talking, soo.. And it was my first time ever seeing drunk people, which was, UHHH, an experience. So I don't think these things are meant for me.
Pew, I'm also starting to get a little homesick! I was fine most of the first month but now I'm starting to miss home. I think it's because I haven't really established any solid friends here yet, so pew pew pew! hopefully it'll pass! pew pew pew pew pew
I've been spending some time being remorseful about how much the city of Merced is lacking, but I actually really like UC Merced so far! Very cool cat campus.
meow
my arms won't free you; my heart won't try
Bye for now!

| BYAHH!!
I'm way sleepy and tired so I blog real fast. Um. I bought a toothbrush, a lightbulb, and some brownies at Target today, and met more people from the UCM facebook group. :O Then I had a headache so I had to stay in the dorms while my other suitemates went on more adventures to the Lake and whatnot, but Michelle stayed behind too, so we watched Pride and Prejudice together. I learned that my internet CRASHES something epic whenever I try to transfer a file, because I kept trying to send Phuc some photos of my room and it kept failing really hard. It also crashes a lot cos it hates me.
I learned that the dining hall food is actually pretty good, or at least my dinner was pretty awesome. And umm, that my bed is really squeaky and makes me sad at night. :( And that delivery trucks in the middle of the night ARE LOUD AS ALL HELL. They're even louder than the trains I lived next to back in Sacramento! I mean, I thought I got away from the whole waking-up-to-honking-and-instantly-thinking-omg-it's-gonna-crash-into-my-room-and-now-i'm-gonna-die thing.
Here be the photos I gave up on file transferring and ended up uploading them onto photobucket to show Phuc!
My side of the room!
The whole room, including Dani's (my roomie) side!
Then tomorrow I get to see Phuc again cos he and some of our mutual friends will be visiting! YAYY!! I'm so freaking excited. :D
let me shake up your world
k bye for now!

| Hello, world!
I am now a resident of UC Merced! It was a really weird experience because I imagined waltzing in and being super excited to meet everyone. Instead, because there was a 20-minute unloading time limit, it was super rush-rush "AHH GET IT ALL OUT OF THE CARRRR!" :O
My parents and I had lunch at KFC (XD) and then they took me back to my dorm.. AND LEFT!!! SNAP!! AHH!
I started mingling with four of my suitemates (one went swimming) and we hung out a lot! :D Yay! The assembly was super boring but well-intentioned. Lol.
But after the assembly was pretty bomb. (yes, new slang!) My suitemates and I swung by the block party, where we met our neighbors! :O We chatted a bit until we went to their suite to watch Demitri Martin, then we headed to Yosemite Lake for a First Day of College Adventure. :D
Although the park was closed ("orite, these things close after sunset"), we found a place to lie down and stargaze.
And I have to admit, as much as I've ripped on how small and unnerving UC Merced is, I have to say that the stars there are quite a sight. Since the university is so far from town, I was able to see all the stars I've never been able to see in all my life in big towns like San Jose and Sacramento. It was my first time seeing the Big Dipper and Orion's Belt! :) kewl beans!
OKAY TIME TO SHOWER COS I'M ALL HOT AND GROSS COS THE A/C IS BROKEN
bye for now!
