easter morning

i got another gift today from boyeon on my board. i dont think i know her very well. it’s very sweet of her to think of me. veronica has given me so many easter pixels for people who didn’t receive anything from the secret easter bunny. i hope no one will qualify this time. i can’t believe i totally messed up the credits for the past two new themes for the board. they were all done by Raspberryrain00 whose real name is hannah. i always thought it was by hannie. gosh.. i feel so stupid.

daynah sent me this ice age egg coloring place. it’s so cute. oh yeah, jenn gave me another submission for the dmb shirt. it’s right here. i will have to edit it a little for the words and stuff. ISN’T CUTE?

we are going to andy’s mom’s place to color easter eggs today. i’ve never done that. it will be my first. i’m gonna bring my camera for sure!

today’s work . . . Whew!!

Well I made dodo happy!! Cleaned and fixed my car, cleaned the shoes that needed cleaning, did the dishes, cleaned out the trash. Good lord!! Am I becoming responsible!?? Now I’ll have to go to KFC soon and sell chicken, and make sure that employees don’t act like idiots, and make sure we don’t run out of food, and make sure that cleaning gets done, and make sure that professional attitudes are maintained (including myself), and most of all death to the CHICKEN!!!! I want to eat some . . . MMMMM. Original Recipe is my favorite! 11 Herbs and Spices! Good grief! BTW got a 100% on my Calculus exam plus 10 pts of extra credit! Go Colonel! What else? Listened to David Bowie and Nine Inch Nails (NIN) really loud on the stereo too! Now I have to go . . . HELLLLPPP!

what’s up with celebrities?

i was reading ranmaguy‘s post about britney spears, i thought about something else about celebrities. what are they really? i never really admire someone who i only see on tv or hear on radio so much that i’d cry if they dont sign my autographs or whatever. i guess i just don’t understand that kind of bond. sure, maybe his/her performance is great, his/her lyric touches you, his/her music fits your need, his/her appearance attracts you, his/her acting moves you, but do people realize it’s still THEIR job to do that? how can people love them to such an extend just because of their job performance not the person as a whole? esp. this person does not even directly affect your life.

call me full of myself or whatever.. i can never bring myself to have such a love for anyone who’s that faraway from me. i DO NOT understand how people can either. is it because of a trend, or peer pressure or what? arrg.. oh well, i guess it doesn’t really matter. that’s my rant for the day =P

good friday

good friday?! i’m not religious so it’s no different from any other fridays for me.

kozzi‘s got her tote bag. ISN’T it cuuuute?! OMG she and her bag are so adorable =) i saw couple very cute drawings on my oekaki today, such as Fleye‘s Guitar Playing Dog. andy found a funny priest joke last nite:

THE NEW PRIEST
A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done. The monsignor replied, “When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip.”

So the next Sunday he took the monsignor’s advice. At thebeginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took adrink. He proceeded to talk up a storm. Upon return to his office after mass, he found the following note on his door:

1. Sip the Vodka, don’t gulp.

2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.

3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.

4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.

5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.

6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.

7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior, and the Spook.

8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him.

9. When David was hit by a rock and knocked off his donkey, don’t say he was stoned off his ass.

10.We do not refer to the cross as the Big T!

11.When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, “Take this and eat it, for it is my body”, he did not say, “Eat me.”

12.The Virgin Mary is not referred to as the, “Mary with the Cherry”.

13.The recommended grace before a meal is not: “Rub-A-dub-dub, thanks for the grub, yeah God”. and finally…

14.Next Sunday there will be a taffy-pulling contest at St.Peter’s, not a peter-pulling contest at St. Taffy’s.

we are going to play a new game soulbringer now =)

WEIRD DREAM

have you ever had a dream that’s so weird that you feel you are SAVED when the alarm goes off? well, i had one last nite.

i obviously just started my classes in a new sememster. to fill up my credits to maintain a full time student, i took some kind of gym class as suggested by someone. i never read the description of the course. what the course was about was a hearsay. the first day i went to the class, the room was full. it had those stools where you shared with another person (like the classroom in my middle school in china). and the person on the stool i was assigned to was my ex-bf DAVID (the one i really disliked). i was like eek.. the gym teacher showed up and and i recognized him as “supposedly” someone i briefly went out with earlier (i never went out with any gym teacher). and when the class began, he directed us to do some upper body exercise but the first thing (almost like a rountine) was that everyone had to take off their clothes. i mean to be naked (at least the upper body) in my dream. i was like WTF? but no one else seemed to care or felt it was weird. they all took off their cloths (i mean like both girls and boys) and obviously david was eager to help. out of confusion and some kind of unknown pressure, i took off mine. then we started this exercise and i just couldn’t stand it any more and put back on my clothes and walked out the room. later i was talking to my colleague about dropping that class and taking another one. and the gym teacher came and asked why i didn’t show up in the class afterwards. i told him i will drop it. and he walked away. finally i saw andy and started to tell him what was going on in that class. i remember i was just saying “yeah it’s like total nudity” seeing andy’s astonishing expression and then the alarm went off.

thank goodness it wasn’t real!! i don’t think i could live thru that!

it’s FINALLY WORKING!!!

christ, i was about to kill someone. this setcookie function in php is so screwed up. i spent most of my day trying to figure out how to get it to work correctly. thanks to ranmaguy and michel‘s tips. i still don’t understand why i HAVE TO use a redirection in order for it to work. if i put the exact same code in the files, it just won’t work. ISN’T THAT WEIRD?

there are still only two themes right now. but this time when you change, it’s gonna STAY ON YOUR COMPUTER. means if you close your current browser and open a new one, then type in http://prue-essence.net. you should see the last theme you chose instead of the default theme. if not, hahaha, i’m calling 911.

now it’s matter of converting the ENTIRE site. will probably take me quite a while. after that, i will add more themes ;) enjoy!

hey!

well, since this is my first blog, i’m sure i should have something profound to say, but I really don’t. Albatross! There. I am at my mid session break in Calculus, suppose I should go back. “blech”

Just printed out 4 copies of my Comp. paper. 80 PAGES!!!! I feel like I am carrying a novel around in my folder now. This had better get passing with distinction on the first submission, cause I don’t want to have to print it all out again!!!!!!!!

THEMES

cyn‘s such a sweetie. she gave me a CUTE CUTE easter gift. now i feel bad for not giving enough gifts for other people. i will try to get as many as possible. here‘s a gift i want to give EVERYONE who visits pure essence.

i couldn’t fall asleep last nite and i worked on the themes for this site. just to see how i can make it work. i have to use cookies to store the name of the theme and stuff but it’s not working correctly >< cookies are SOO annoying.. maybe some day i will figure them out… sigh…

btw, i’ve only done the domain section and the blog section. since it’s not completely working yet. i’m not eager to implement the other sections.

i somehow got andy agreed to blog with me LOL. i doubt he will blog often but he said he might try. so i added the “post by” thingie in case you got confused =P

YAY

i looked at my layout in netscape 6, it looks perfect. it’s still a little bit weird in the IE on macs. anyone has IE 6, please tell me how it looks in that! thanks.

i got my cs assignment, i finished two of the problems. i can’t start on the third one yet since i left my book at school. we are designing circuits for computers now. boring as it sounds, i actually like it. unfortunately i was bearly awake this morning to listen. i don’t know how many times i yawned in the first while i was sitting in the first row. i guess that’s not a good impression for the teacher =P i also managed to go to the shakespears class. actually it didn’t turn out to be so bad. the teacher asked couple students to act out the funniest scene. i enjoyed it.

not too many news today. andy’s using the computer for his LONG english paper so i’m stuck with the stupid labtop which i can accomplish essentinally nothing. but surfing’s good ;) i hadn’t had time to finish my daily reads yet.
