hello to ppl who still use xanga. haha..i certainly havent used it in a long time. so here's an update.

senior year is almost over. that makes me really sad. and worried..cuz i don't know wut i'm going to do. except that i'm moving home. i dont really want to leave college =/ but i cant stay in sd. can you relate? heh

so i guess senior year hasnt turned out the way i imagined. this is due to something that happened which has affected me in a lot of ways.....I got Helicobacter Pylori. It's a bacteria that lives in your stomach lining.

It came out of the blue. One day during winter break I was really gasy. I couldnt stop burping. It didnt go away. So i've had this gas-y, burping and farting endlessly condition. Which was so annoying...and not to mention embarrassing. I would feel bloated and feel like the burp is stuck in my throat and it was hard to get it out. It was really frustrating not knowing wut to do about it or just..wut was going on with me!

It's been like almost 3 months? I went to Student Health and at first they thought i had IBS. Then I went to the lab and took some tests...and found out I have H pylori. It got really bad that I was throwing up everything I ate. Then I got these shooting pains in my abdomen..so I thought I had peptic ulcers. and also gastritis?

Needless to say, I had to stop dancing.  So I took a leave of absence on Ascension. Sad. Then we got into Fusion! which is awesome. but I hope I can get better by then so I can go perform on that stage..which we've wanted for years. I miss the team. I miss dancing. I'm missing a couple of performances and most of all, bonding time with my team. =/

I'm taking antibiotics now. I hope that when I'm done with this process, it will all go away. It's really taking a toll on my life. I'm just not myself lately.. been home a lot...been sort of antisocial. didnt want to go to classes anymore cuz it was embarrassing. My dad even wanted me to withdraw from school to tend to my health! thats not going to happen..cuz i'm almost done. So now I think I should be on my way to getting better.

I'm excited for Spring Break. =) senior trip on a cruise. i've always wanted to go on a cruise!

LIKE MY NEW COLLAGE?? hehe...=) they're so fun to do. way to kill time huh?

hello earthlings...grace has fallen off the face of the planet...she is now in deep slumber in a far away land called arcadia. hahaha! jk! hiiii everyone who reads this! i have not used xanga in a very looong time. i guess its time for an update...either that or i just feel like typing to myself. this summer has been quite a bore. hahaha...i have just been a BIG bum. everything just didnt work out as planned..and so i ended up having nothing to do everyday. hanging out w/ppl has been quite a treat though =)...thanks to phil, wes, and ted for moving close to me!! i dont know wut my summer wouldve been like w/o you guys. hahaha! eeek! scary to think about. but this summer has been really looong. feels like forever. i sorta just wanna go back to school. i miss it. but not like midterms and finals. heh...so i wanna just be a bum there too i guess. hahaha...i totally wasted this summer. i shouldve done so much more. maybe even pick up a hobby, learn a new language, or looked harder for a job/intern. the most i regret is not going abroad somewhere =/...i started making cards again..if that counts for anything? hehe...

i guess this summer made me realize how old i am...gonna be a senior in college!!! also how my life is about to begin pretty soon. i mean....in the real world that is. its sort of scary. and at the same time i am sooo annoyed by all the questions that older ppl ask...especially uncles or customers who i could care less about. "what's your major??" "what are your plans for after you graduate?" ...."oh, your major is psychology? that's good. then you are going to graduate school?" ...."no? then what do you plan to do with that?!" errr....."i dont know" is my usual response..and they just give me this look. as if i'm just hopeless.

i hate that they ask me all these questions as if they were my own parents. my parents are not the typical asian parents who want their kids to be doctors or lawyers. mmm...so i asked my dad...wut will i do after i graduate? and he just keeps telling me "worry about it after you graduate. just graduate first and then see.." i like how my dad is so chill about it and thats kool....i guess its makes me less worried. but once in a while i still freak out.

everyone's turning 21. i'm such a baby still. i guess its a good thing cuz i always feel young compared to my class. but there are times when ppl wanna go out to places that i still cant go. that sucks..but its not that bad.  hasnt happened too much yet. hehe..seems to be many august birthdays! happy birthday august babies! =)

well i'm off...so take care all! leave a comment if u want to say hi =) not sure if ppl still use xanga. haha

WOW...i've been gone for a loooong time! anyone missed me?? haha...jk

our first competition is this sunday at UCI. so we're gettin ready for that ...which means the past few weeks have been hard cuz of extended practice. and this week is the real HELL WEEK. and it definitely is a struggle with all these midterms i have. they just never end. so if i look like crap...don't make me feel bad. i know i look tired and i need sleep...but it's also cuz i dont care to put on makeup...or i dont have time to pick out nicer clothes. well....here's a shout out to ASCENSION 05-06. keep it up...let's rock that stage and show them wut we got!! Love you all!
