i've been reading for the better part of the day and realized that i totally miss it. i used to spend days at a time (esp during the summer) just reading book after book. there's no satisfaction quite as good as getting to the end of a book.

but of course this was all interrupted by quite the phone call. brian called me amidst my book-reading to tell me that i'm going to not only meet his parents this weekend (very stressful pour moi) but apparently his parents also want to meet my parents. EEEEK.

so i had to destress through icon-making. here's one.

i woke up at 7:30 thinking it was time for work.

so i decided to make some icons. hahahaha.

Fighting AIDS & Cancer

2006-06-11T00:28:55Z

In the past week, two new drugs have been shown to successfully fight AIDS/prevent cervical cancer (mainly due to HPV).

This article explains the new drug PA-457, which has decreased HIV cells in blood tenfold in a matter of hours. The only problem is, it is in the early stages of testing and thus won't be made available to the public until 2009.

The new vaccine to prevent cervical cancer has had tremendous success in women (100% effective) and can now be administered to girls as young as 9 years old. However, be weary if you already have HPV because the vaccine can exacerbate symptoms.

I'm hoping that this is a new turn in medicine and to those fighting cancer & AIDS.

ONE.org-- a fight against poverty & aids

2006-06-10T02:15:51Z

CONS
one.org is a good idea. however, it doesn't look at the big picture. more than just africa are in severe poverty. if you look at a world map, many countries in asia are also seriously depraved. in order to fight worldwide poverty, you cannot just target one continent. you must target all countries it pertains to.

PROS
this is definitely the best campaign out there to fight poverty. it doesn't want a donation of money toward poverty--it has plans to allocate it. and the plans are very effective. educating people about health and building up technology, such as sewer systems and such are very important. and this organization has brought a lot of publicity.

because of one.org, at the g8 summit, not only did they decide a large monetary increase, but they also decided to provide medicine for aids victims. but as citizens/residents of the united states, i urge all of you to 1) push for a worldwide aid for poverty--not just africa and to 2) really push for the g8 to provide EDUCATION as one of its primary goals.

education is super important in the fight against both aids, as well as poverty! prevention of aids includes knowledge about condoms and other health-related factors. mothers need to know how to take care of their children. and how to deter the spread of aids. poverty-stricken people must also know about cleanliness and other health-related facts to increase the level of well-being. in addition, education decreases the number of children per household/family, which makes it easier for parents to support. (education also decreases infant mortality rates which is in due part because of health and knowledge of better child care.) education about technology can expedite civilization through the building of better housing, better sewage systems (to increase health once again. a main factor.), etc. education about technology can also increase their crop yields, which leads to better health.

please, this is a plea to get people thinking. and to take action.

if we care so much about the war against terror to make those in the middle east live in a safer, hate-free environment, why can't we make just a little effort to those who cause no threat to us? and are still dying...every day.

i often find lots of good causes to fight for but i never seem to actually voice it. i think it's time for a month long push for good causes.

i absolutely love the smell of spring. and you know what that smells like--it's a little heavier, moister with a hint of sweet nectar scent. mm. spring.

hopefully waking up to the smell and look of spring means a good rest of the day. (:

on another note, valentine's day is over. i learned many things all of which have to do with food: breadco has awesome food and espresso has awesome desserts. mmmm!

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I'm hungry. I'm tired. I'm out of it. I'm not concentrating. I'm procrastinating even at this hour.

I'm screwed for tomorrow. Can I not go to school tomorrow/today?

edit| WHEEEEEEEEEEE. Still awake. :-) And hungry, too.

WOW.

Managers suck this year. What's up with the whole not paying attention to the game and all of a sudden paying too much attention at the wrong time? ROAR.

jewelz1325 @ 2004-08-19T11:27:00

2004-08-19T15:30:19Z

Not looking forward to this upcoming school year at all.

-5 AP classes
-being benched on Varsity vball
-college essays
-no one worth getting to know
-waking up at 6 each morning
-SATs retake

ROAR. Will add more because there's DEF more to dislike about this upcoming school year besides the fact that we are now supreme seniors. WOOT WOOT.

Harold&Kumar was excellent only because of John Cho and Kal Penn the two lead Asian actors. :-) I loved all the horrible un-PC racist comments and jokes they made even though it should've been insulting to me.

Vball team camp was awesome only because of all the endless mafia/kemps/signs games we played between grueling sessions. I hope I never go to UMCP because dormlife there would suck unless I spent all my extra time in air conditioned social lounges.

PS~Ice skating sucks. I hate being in difficult situations like those.

Hmm. I should update since I am at work with nothing to do for the next hour and a half.

So what should I write about? (People, that was not a rhetorical question.)

Life never fails to amuse me...

Should I report to the police about this van whose brake lights weren't working and almost caused me to crash into them? (I have their license plate.)

My first time driving alone today. I almost marred my nearly perfect drive by ALMOST hitting the garage while coming home. :-D

PS~I am a good driver.

Wow. My face is so red. I am going to be sunburnt. -_-;;

BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT! I screamed my heart out--almost literally. I won't be surprised if I lose my voice tomorrow cuz it's sore rai now. :-( All those rollercoasters=Jueli screaming her head off.

Haha. "I'M DYING!" "HOLY EFF!" "SHIT!" "PLZ LET ME LIVE!" Haha. What a loser I am. :-D

Fanny, Marcos and them came and it was so exciting!

THE WHOLE DAY WAS JUST AWESOME! Tired but awesome! :-)

So I was mulling things over in my head and came upon a logical but random question: Why is AC/DC called AC/DC? Is it because they like circuits SO much that they wanted to be called AlternatingCircuit/DirectCurrent? -_-;;

If you were wondering what's wrong with me, just know that I took my last physics test of my high school career today on Circuits. -_-;;

And guess what's tomorrow?

You guessed it!

6 FLAGS!!!!!

Don't pay attention to this entry.

{

Wow. All these revelations at 12:30 in the morning. I think I realize that the reason I'm functioning is because of my adrenaline. Once it hits 1:30, I'll just pass out. It's happened before, but I know that I'll never get to sleep tonight. ARGH. So once it hits 3, I'll be fine. I won't be able to sleep even if I force myself to. Trust me. I know from experience. -_-;;

Why is the height of AIM at midnight? It's like during the day, it builds up and then the max is midnight. Then afterwards, it starts decreasing again. Strange, you noctambules. :-P Me and my Frenchness. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

It may not be the adrenaline, now that I think about it. It may just as well be the frappuccino I drank. But I thought that coffee had no effect on me? Hmm. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I shall update again later. After I write another paragraph. Or sooner. BBL.
