Let's go baby let's go-- GAMBLING V1.02
May. 17th, 2009 08:21 pmAll right, kids! It has been exactly 5 months and 3 days since the last time I tried something so stupid (the halfhearted fail of January doesn't count), and I figure... it's time to give it another go.
( Aaaaand go! )
edit 2301: fuck an hour is a long time.
what am I in for. T_____T

Jan. 18th, 2009 12:24 pmfinished Honey and Clover season 2!
despite all the season 1 > season 2 reviews, I really liked it. o_____o mebbe just me? I think you just shouldn't try to look for more of the same, they each have their good points and bad points. and it was like an extended conclusion, yes.
In other news, I am starting another (much smaller) bet against myself! i.e. piano productivity until the end of January.
Terms: One hour of piano each day from now 'til the 31st, at least 40 mins of which being continuous.
Stakes: If I win, I will take a month off my Nong Shim abstinence! OR I will avail myself to one day off in February. I haven't decided yet.
If I lose... I better not lose something as easy as this or I'll kill myself. srsly.
YES AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THIS IS BECAUSE I MISS MY NEOGURI. GREATLY. SO MUCH THAT IT PLAGUES MY DREAMS! In fact the other day I had a vague craving for it before I went to bed and IT APPEARED, DELICIOUS AND APPETIZING in my dreams and then, and then, IN MY DREAM before my eyes I GAVE IT TO MY SISTER because IN MY FREAKING DREAM I suddenly remembered that I couldn't have any Neoguri, which I apparently forgot (in my dream) while I was cooking it.
T________________________T
Maybe I should order some Cham Pong when I go to Palace with Keropi. BUT ONE BOWL IS SO BIG HOW WILL I HAVE ROOM FOR BBQ IF I EAT CHAM PONG.................................
(the dots symbolize my distress)
alas.

Dec. 25th, 2008 10:10 pmNine down, four to go.
I'm considering dropping UPenn. The more I research it for my Why Penn essay, the less I find that interests me, and then I really do have to ask myself the question, "Why Penn?"
But websites can be misleading and/or simply uninformative. I'll look more into forums etc tomorrow.
(Besides, if I drop I'll lose my lucky # of thirteen. That's no fun.)
Ahahaha in other news it looks like I'm losing. BYEBYE NONG SHIM. But I think I'll keep tally on it up 'til the New Year and see how I do.

alumni are awesome.
loudmouth freshmen boys are not.
I am so so so tired T__________T
the squid was good though. and the chicken. and the tofu. asian partyyyyyyy~
I wish I could have stayed instead of dealing with loud obnoxious freshmen boys. oh well.
the presence of Yang also reminds me that I have STILL NOT WATCHED THE DARK KNIGHT.
alskjgkldjlka;sdgkjaldskfja;gdj;fda I am obsolete. and deprived.
edit: good thing of the day: break started!
edit2: the concert went well.
today was so long it feels like two different days. or maybe three. god knows.
that was cutting it REALLY close. started five minutes later and I probably would've lost. o___O;; stupid concert.
hopefully things will get better from here on out.
(also, I feel it deserves a mention here that Christine and Curtis totally swept the stage ^____^b Elgar and Saint-Saens for the win~~~)
edit3: AHA AHA AHA THE THIRD COMPOSER WITH A HYPHEN IN HIS NAME IS VILLA-LOBOS. I KNEW GOOGLE WOULD PAY OFF IN THE END.
now I can finally go sleep in peace.

THE BET
It is December 14th. There are 17 days left in the month. From now until the start of year 2009, I shall aim for HYPERPRODUCTIVITY, terms of which stated below.
THE TERMS
-one hour of cello practise each day*, 40 minutes of which should be continuous
-one hour of piano practise each day, 40 minutes of which should be continuous
-one hour (at least) of guzheng practise a week*
-completion* and submission of all applications by December 25th (discounting music supplements)
-complete cleaning of room up to mother-standards by Monday, December 15th, 11:59:59 PM and maintenance of said level of cleanness for the remaining 16 days
-the bet begins 12:00 AM sharp with the start of December 15th, 2008
-the terms of the bet will remain secret until the bet is either lost (through violation of any of the terms stated above) or won (by which time it should be 2009)
THE STAKES
If I win, I will GO BINGE SHOPPING TO MY HEART'S CONTENT. Or something else. I'll change this if I think of anything better.
If I lose, I will swear off neoguri instant ramen (and any other ramen by nong shim) for the entirety of the year 2009.
*a day is defined as starting from 12:00 AM until 11:59:59 PM, based on Adela's cellphone clock
*a week is defined as monday through sunday, not sunday through saturday
*all applications submitted should be personalized to the college depending on supplements, no cheating
edit: fuck I lost. hahaha.
stupid apps. I could've made it if it were just cello/piano/room.
didn't count on the multiple-hour-a-day-celloing for the sake of apps either. I should've made some rule where I could take hours from the previous week to account for the next week.
sooooooo after Dec 25th basically everything else fell into disrepair. shows how strongly motivated I am.
BYE NONG SHIM I WILL MISS YOU DEARLY. T____T
