Michelle's Life in La-La Land

Monday:
- How I met your mother: Just for fun. It's very entertaining....too bad it's only 30 mins/week....
- Heros: I watch it because everyone else watches it. I don't want to be left behind...
- The Hills: The half-reality show is going on in LA. By watching it, I get to see a lot of trendy restaurants, bars, and clubs.

Thursday:
- Ugly Betty: working at a fashion magazine is every girl's dream. Though I'm not so much a MODE girl just like Betty, I'm still very curious about what's going on in that glamorous world.
- Grey's Anatomy: I've been watching it since the 1st season, and there is no reason for me to stop watching... ^_^

今天開始了在美國的第一份工作
在一家廣告公司做網路行銷(不知道為甚麼用中文寫出來就聽起來很遜還頗有詐騙集團味道)
雖然只是一周二十小時的實習,但今天我可整整工作了10個小時(還不知道他們會不會把多的小時算進去)
中國人就是便宜又勤勞好用阿

在10+個小時的工作後
不甘心放棄我找工作期間的新生活習慣
還是乖乖去了健身房
大大驚訝原來我們這一區住了這麼多亞洲人
之前我去的是白天的健身房,亞洲人約有3%
晚上十點的健身房, 亞洲人比例大大增加到多於30%

大家都工作這麼長時間之後才去運動的嗎?

1. Biking: Loving beach side bike riding in south bay!
2. Walking: Actually the only walk I've been doing is probably from my place to the gym. I used to walk a lot when I live in Taipei. Walking makes me feel alive, feel that I'm closer to the world.
3. Knowing that I'm following my workout routine
4. Cooking with friends: Welcome to Palms Kitchen!
5. Learning American pop culture: Ha... well actually by just watching E! & MTV channel and listening to a lot of American pop music

I've been sick for the past week. I haven't caught a cold for so long that I can't even remember when was the last time i was sick. Also, unlike this time, i would normally recover in 2~3 days. What happened to me?

Maybe the reason was the same as why Meredith almost died. She could swim but almost drowned because she lost her will of living for just a second.

Am I gradually losing my hope of succeeding?
How could I find back my confidence and optimism?

In Grey's Anatomy, Izzie couldn't stop baking muffins when Denny died. When she stopped baking, she was recovered and ready to face the real life.

I can't remeber when was my last time baking. 6 years ago maybe? I made very tasty and looking-good oat cookies. I can't remember why I started baking either. But I remember I enjoyed the time hanging in the kitchen with Mom and I loved the smell of baking.

Today, I just started baking again. I made waffles. I baked alone in the kitchen.(not as fun as baking in the Kitchen at home with Mom) I am not trying to hide from the real life. I'm doing so to try to learn about the reasons why some waffles are good and some are not.

Here comes my first waffle. Okay, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been lazy and bought the baking mix from Trader Joe's. The waffle tasted not bad, and it was quick and easy to make. But it won't be easy for me to adjust the ingredients and flavors.

I am not very lucky today...

It's my first time wearing shorts in about 1~2 months... and I fell down the stairs right before my midterm...

Swimming makes me feel great!

It makes me feel my life is healthy and filled with hope.
It brings me energy and positive thinking.

雖然一個人太寂寞
但令人窒息的擁擠是我更無法承擔的
也許我就是注定一個人
我喜歡自由自在就注定了我的孤獨寂寞

I can't breathe....

The more I know about my type, the more I think it's very me.
I know it doesn't sound like a promising type, but I actually feel better when I see through what kind of person I am.
I know that's me, although sometimes I hate myself about acting like myself...

A few weeks ago, I got a candle with lemongrass+orange aroma.
I'm lovin it!
It's an aroma which can calm me down anytime, relaxing and comforting....

obsessive compulsive disorder

I think I got the OCD of checking emails.
I'm so sick of doing that but I can't stop myself!

Jill got very sick since last Thursday, and that actually makes me feel I'm going to get a cold very soon.
I actually felt sick when I woke up every morning since then.   
I couldn't get sick... I have 2 midterms and a tons of stuff to do...

又被壞人欺負了！
