“Fated to Love You”

Jennifer — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:30:54 +0000

I am momentarily obsessed with this drama series. I was getting so bored with TVB because all of their story lines seem so typical and boring now. So I wanted to try Korean and Taiwanese series. Turned out that I did the definite right thing! I regret for not having done this long ago. I think I’ve missed out on a lot of good series like this one. I love romance and love stories. Although, this was not a tear jerker, but it was still a very sweet and cute movie. (Maybe I’m so brainwashed about how love is suppose to be from watching these series… Yikes!) Anyway, this is an adorable story. I have some favorite scenes that I cannot just get over that I have to keep rewinding and watching it over and over again. I’m so crazy. So during my time off, being at home all the time, my mission is to discover all these sweet, romantic drama series!!

P.S. The male lead is sooo handsome. His character just makes it all better! <3<3<3

Thomas Part 2

I almost cried thinking about you today. I really miss you. It sucked so bad that we couldn’t see each other at home last time. I know you’ll be going to Afghanistan soon. Please be careful and safe. I love you, Thomas. Can’t wait to see you again.

Like They Always Say, “It’s Complicated”

Jennifer — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 01:09:08 +0000

I don’t know how much longer I can put up with this. I thought that I could deal with it as “being with someone you love, you gotta accept their flaws.” It’s never going to change though. I want to say that I don’t care, but will I be saying it just out of anger and frustration? Now, when I cry, I cry out of anger and frustration. I’m also hurt from all of this. I’ve done all that was possible for me to do. How much more can I do or how much can I say? He said he’s scared of losing me, but… he’s not thinking clear before he say something or before he does something. It hurts to see how little respect he has for me sometimes. I am just so tired of having to consider a break-up every time we’re in a fight. It shouldn’t be that way. I mean, does that mean something that I do that? Is that suppose to be a sign? It’s been seven years. And my friend is right. I shouldn’t feel like I should stay with him just because we’ve been together for seven years. She said, “being used to someone for a long time and being in love with someone are two different things.” I have to agree. I know for a fact that I am still in love with this man, but what about him? He say that he loves me very much, but does he really know what he’s saying??? That’s the real question here. I’m just so disappointed in him. He’s becoming just like his dad and yet he hates how his dad is. Funny, huh?

You know, come to think of it… It will be a serious problem sooner or later. And I have a feeling that his actions and words now are not the worse yet. Am I going to wait around for the worse to come? I don’t want to. Of course, it’s all easier said than done. I always say that I have a lot of thinking to do, but in the end, I get so softhearted and give in. Will this time be one of those times? Wish me luck.

I’m Done with This Place

Jennifer — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:26:09 +0000

This place just makes me sick now. I cannot stand here and continue watching these people get away with things they shouldn’t be getting away with. They expect for people not to see it when they sweep their dust under the mat. It’s so pathetic. I am happy that I will be leaving this place soon. Sooner or later, there WILL be consequences for what they’re running here. And I will certainly not feel sorry for them. My only regret is that I am leaving the residents… I will truly miss the residents. I truly care for them and wish them the best of luck for living here.

Good-bye, Sunrise.

Stuffed Pasta Shells (Vegetarian)

Jennifer — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:32:36 +0000

This stuff was good stuff! I first found this recipe on www.thekindlife.com, but originally it’s from Sammi McLean’s blog, www.veganpandamonium.blogspot.com (which is also incredible because she has a lot of great recipes!). It’s also suppose to be a vegan recipe, but I had a hard time finding a certain ingredient, so I went with just a vegetarian dish instead… I am still a vegetarian only anyway. My boyfriend had some of it for dinner with me and he liked it very much as well. I love to cook. I enjoy doing it. Too bad I don’t have much time for it now so we’re always eating out. That’s a sad thing for me. Anyway, if anyone here is vegetarian/vegan, try this out! You won’t regret it, I promise!

STUFFED PASTA SHELLS:

Ingredients:
1 pkg of large pasta shells
1 jar of tomato sauce
1 pkg of extra firm tofu
Nutritional yeast
Fresh basil, chopped
Garlic powder
Salt and pepper
Lemon juice

Steps:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Boil the shell pasta.
*You can make the filling in a food processor, or you can use your hands.
If you are making it by hand, mash up the tofu until it resembles a firm ricotta cheese texture.
Add desired amount of nutritional yeast, basil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and lemon juice.
In a casserole dish, spread out some tomato sauce.
Fill the shells with a couple spoon-fulls of the tofu filling.
Top with the remaining tomato sauce, and bake for 15-20 minutes.

They also said it was good for leftovers. And they’re right! I had some for lunch the next day and it was great! Yummy stuff, I’m telling ya.

Only When I Have the Time…

Jennifer — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 06:49:51 +0000

So, so many crazy things has been happening… I really don’t even know where to start. I remember that when I was a child, I use to fantasize about being a grown up and being busy with so many different things! Turns out… it’s nothing like I had imagined. Now… I just wish I could be a child with no worries at all. Is life always this crazy? I’m literally asking myself all the time, “When will my life be like a calm ocean with no tidal waves??” I’m just so tired. So exhausted. How much longer do I have to work so hard like this? I know people are always saying, “life’s not easy”, but seriously… I had no idea it was going to be to THIS extreme!

Happy Birthday

Ma, I love you! <3

So Unnecessary

Jennifer — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 02:22:11 +0000

What kind of mother asks her son for some money to go on a vacation? Well… It DOES sound pretty normal,… but THIS son of hers is broke. And she knows well of that! She knows that he works so hard and never has money to save and NOW she’s asking him for money?!?! What’s worse is that she called him,… out of the blue. Just out of nowhere. She NEVER calls. The one time she does, she just wants money. Nice, huh? I use to like her. Use to. There not much of his family members on my good list anymore. Kinda sad……. Neh, not really.

Man, who knows what kind of stuff they say about me behind my back. I’m kind of curious.

I just still cannot get over the fact that that woman called her son and asked for money. How on earth did she have the right mind to pick up her phone and call her son JUST for that reason. That’s so pathetic.

Home for Christmas

Jennifer — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 07:38:31 +0000

As I’ve mentioned several times before how I was super excited for being with my family in California for Christmas… I’m here in California now! It’s been SO fun. There’s really not a way for me to put everything in words for you to really understand how great it has been to be with my family again. Christmases for us are different than when I was a child, but as long as I’m with my family, I can definitely tell you that it was a fabulous Christmas. I got to visit my cousins and some old friends. I felt so good seeing how happy they were to see me again… it makes me feel special. =) Who wouldn’t want to feel special on Christmas? I’m glad that everyone has been doing well. It has been over a week now. Time flies so fast! Only two more days and I’m flying back out to Texas to be with the boyfriend again… (Not that I’m not looking forward to that. It’s just that I’ll be missing everyone over here like cuhrazy!)

There was something… kind of special that had happened. To make a longgg story short: my stepdad and I are talking again. We went out to eat with a group of people for Christmas and we sat next to each other… we talked. We actually had a real talk. It has been so, so long. Now that I think about it, it actually breaks my heart to realize that we’ve been so distanced. We are still sort of distanced, but… THIS is a BIG step. I’m so happy because I know that my mom is that much happier knowing that things are a little bit better now. And THEN, we took pictures together! We have NOT have a picture together in like… over two years now! I’m just so speechless trying to think about that night again because all of that was so unexpected. I really don’t know if it’s fake or real coming from him, but… as for me, I feel like… there’s no more grudge between us. That’s suppose to be good, right?

This trip has just been… really nice. And I’m very glad.

Thomas

I miss you already. I know you’re still just in training, but I feel so worried every time I think about you. I love you and I know you know that. Just be safe and careful for the sake of those who loves you dearly, okay? You’ll always be my baby.
