Pre-barbeque
I have this terrible pain somewhere around my back. :(
---------------You know how after you make food, the smell of the ingredients cling to your fingers? I hate that. No amount of washing can get it off. And I'd be balling my fists right now because of the lemony-soy saucey-black peppery-garlicy smell I have on my hands except...
Mai and I are having a barbeque tomorrow! Yey. It will be so fun. I'm in charge of... mashed potatoes and iced tea. :) Yey. Oooh, and I have the lemony-soy saucey-black peppery-garlicy smell on my hands because I soaked and skewered four (Or was it two? Felt like four. *shrugs*) lovely pounds of meat. Ah yes, the painstaking process of making a good ol' Filipino barbeque. And, because we're cute and we sooo miss the Philippines, we also bought hotdogs (The red and tasty ones, not the brown and salty ones they have here) and we'll get some marshmallows tomorrow and grill those two together. Oh yeah. :)
Then we'll sit on the grass... And we'll sip our iced tea through our bendy straws... And we'll take a walk by the river and just...
live. *sigh*
This is my life. Ain't it grand? :)

Randoms things about me
I'm Kitten :)
I get a year older every 17th of August. I am a Leo, and I carry all traits associated with that zodiac.
Right now, I'm twenty years old and I'm loving it. They say we're only as young as we feel. I feel like I'm five.
I would never leave the house without my Zen and my E2. The latter connects me to the world; the former takes me away from it.
If I were to choose a word to describe my life, that word would be
crazy.
I am in love with the stars. I am in love with the rain.
I am a Rutgers University student, and I want to graduate with an English degree. An English-Psych double major would be nice. An English-TCert would be even better.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be writer. I want to be both.
I thrive on indie and emo. Mae, The Spill Canvas, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby - these are the guys that I listen to. I listen to other bands here and there, but mostly those are the bands I follow. That being said, I'm a mainstream moron.
There's no feeling more lovely than being carried away. People don't usually think of me as somebody spontaneous, but I like being swept away as much as the next girl.
I fall in love easily, but it is really hard for me to fall out. Really hard.
I am very fragile.
I am tolerant of almost everything except one thing: intolerance.
I am an extensive reader. I thirst only for meaning, nothing else.
I love my friends <3
I am extremely spiritual but not religious.
Things I want to do in my life time
Get a job.
- Save up enough money to go back home -
wherever that is if I ever had one before I'm 40.
- Write a book.
- Sing for a Disney movie.
- Buy a house on top of a hill.
- Go bunjee jumping.
Travel halfway around the world.
- See Italy.
Find the one person who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.
Draw and paint.
Learn how to play Sudoku.
- Volunteer for American/Philippine Red Cross or UNHCR.
Quit smoking.
