新年快樂! 恭喜發財!
Happy Lunar New Year!



So far today seems like a good start for the new year because I got a call for a job interview on Wednesday! (Well, they called me last Thursday about an interview, but I had to ask them to reschedule because I've been called to go to jury duty on Friday.) It's another CAD job at an engineering firm, but hopefully it goes well. It's kinda far from my house, but still, a job is a job and I can't be too picky, lol.

In other news, today is the first day of Mesa and [personal profile] aznearthdragon and I signed up for night classes this semester, so yeah. On MW we have C/C++ and on TR we have Chinese 101. Chinese shouldn't be too bad since I've actually taken it at Cal Poly, but I dunno about C++, lol. I guess we'll see how it goes.

Lastly, you can now claim your OpenID on Dreamwidth! =)

WTF Megaupload is gone! ;__________; I was in the middle of writing this post when I saw the article. =((((((


Anyway, let's talk about Super Junior-M! Up until a few days ago, my only knowledge of SJM was that they existed and they were a subgroup of SJ. And then I was on YouTube and I saw their MV for Perfection and then YouTube hopping happened and you know how it goes... XP


I am easily swayed by catchy pop and dancing, it's true!


My favorite song from Perfection is probably Henry's solo though. The song is so catchy and the lyrics are so cheesy and I totally love it, lololol.

I watched some performance videos, but mostly I watched SJM on a bunch of Taiwanese variety shows. XD It's awesome because they're fun and I get to learn stuff (I actually know all of their names now, lololol), but such a horrible time-suck because most shows are about an hour long.

Videos under the cut! )

In conclusion, these boys are totally endearing! ♥♥♥


Also, since I mentioned Show Luo earlier, here is a video of Show learning the Love Love Dance from Lollipop F's 電司 (Dance) MV. (I didn't know that Lollipop added an F to their name -- when did that happen?)

I totally cracked up when Show randomly brought up LMFAO near the end, lol. XP



Now I'm going to mourn the loss of Megaupload/Megavideo some more. =/

  1. AN ARTICLE! Unemployment Soars Among College Majors Like Architecture, which includes the best first line ever!
    If you want the best odds of getting a job after graduation, don't major in architecture.
    Apparently the unemployment rate for architecture is 13.9%. Awesome! x_x ([personal profile] aznearthdragon sent me the link this morning, so it was the first thing I read when I got up. You can imagine my motivation level for job hunting afterwards, lol.) [ETA]: Here's the article on ArchDaily with the PDF of the full report.


  2. TUTORING! In other news, [personal profile] aznearthdragon got me an interview at some tutoring place for Saturday morning! She went in today after she was done with work and she said it didn't go so well for her since she wasn't prepared. =/ Anyway, [personal profile] aznearthdragon said I need to brush up on my pre-calc and calculus. Kkinda sucks since I haven't really done math in forever, but whatever, I'll review tomorrow and we'll see how it goes. Hopefully things work out so I can actually make some money while I'm looking for an actual job in my field.


  3. A MEME!
    1) Discover the #1 single in your country of origin in the week you were born.
    2) Find it on YouTube.
    3) Post it on your LJ/DW page without shame. Or for some of you, with shame.


    I've never heard this song before, lol.

Happy (Early) New Year!~


Still about 2.5 hours to go before it's midnight -- us west-coasters are always late to the party. XP

Anyway, time to look at my old resolutions...
Let's see how badly I did...! )

Now, this year's resolutions...
I will accomplish them, seriously! )

And a meme:

I hope everyone had a good Christmas/holiday break. =) [personal profile] aznearthdragon, the brother, and I spent the four-day weekend (excluding Christmas day) watching Lord of the Rings. It was fun since we haven't really rewatched the movies in a while. Also, the brother has never seen LOTR before! Ridiculous, I know, but when it first came out, he was apparently "too cool" to watch it with us (though he was only 6-8 at the time) and then it was too long for him to sit down and attempt to watch it anytime after that, lol.

Christmas day we spent with family that lives here on my dad's side. The time that wasn't spent eating or fielding questions on job hunting ("Yes, [personal profile] aznearthdragon got a job." / "No, I haven't found one yet." / "Yes, it's hard to find architecture jobs right now.") was spent playing with the kids. They have so much energy, it's ridiculous! (Also, they have so many toys and there are so many cool ones that they take for granted, seriously!)

We played Hide-n-Seek for a good while because they're really into that (even though there aren't many places to hide since they restrict it to just downstairs). It's kinda funny because Conrad (he's four) always wants to hide with me or [personal profile] aznearthdragon, but then when we find a place to hide, he talks and laughs about what a good hiding spot we have! Also, when he thinks of a good place to hide, he goes, "I KNOW WHERE WE SHOULD HIDE!" and says the location while we're standing right next to the person who's counting, LOLOLOL. There was also another time when it was my turn to count and after I said "Ready or not, here I come!" I turn to go down the hallway and he opens the bathroom door (where I suppose he was attempting to hide) and says, "[Remula], I'm right here!" then tells me where he thought everyone else was (he likes to rat out people's hiding spots too, lol).


Now it's time to continue looking/applying for jobs and slowly reading fics from Yuletide (because I am easily distracted by checking to see if there's more fic to read in such-and-such fandom, lol).

First, she had a job interview in the morning. The brother and I said we would go there with her and wait in the car while she went in, so we did, and then 40 minutes later, she comes back out and tells us they hired her on the spot! \o/ Then later, when we came home, she saw some people posting on FB about the EIT, so she went to check her account and found out that that she passed! *\o/* And finally, we were playing Monopoly earlier and she somehow managed to have more money than the bank, including all the $500s by near the end, and winning the game! I guess when life goes well for her, it goes all out, LOL.

I'm just waiting for some good luck to come to me now. =/ [personal profile] aznearthdragon starts work next Tuesday, but my brother is still on break until after New Years. After that, though, I'm gonna be home all alone. =( I hope I can find a job soon because I'm starting to lose confidence in myself. =/

  1. SHERLOCK HOLMES 2! We went to a screening of it on Monday night and it was awesome. XD (Except for the fact that there were these two annoying guys sitting behind me and my brother -- they were just chatting away and being complete douches during the movie. x_x)
    Cut for spoilers! )

  2. BIG BANG THEORY! [personal profile] aznearthdragon and I finally caught up with the series this week. This is both good and bad because, YAY CAUGHT UP! but at the same time, ARGH, HAVE TO WAIT FOR NEW EPISODES! Anyway, I totally wsnt Sheldon/Penny/Amy and Raj/Howard/Bernadette because I apparently think threesomes are the way to go, LOL. But also, I want lots of femslash fic because I love all the girls on the show. ♥


  3. MONOPOLY! Lately we've been playing Monopoly at home, lol. Sadly my brother is, like, really good at it or something because he ALWAYS WINS when we play and I always end up being the first one to get bankrupt so it's SUPER ANNOYING! x_x But yesterday I ended up having a really lucky streak for the second half of the game and ended up getting second place instead of last, so YAY ME!
