sometimes worest can happen to good people :(
February 1st, 2002
poor andy, he’s finally soundly asleep now.
yesterday when andy told me he felt stomach pain, it was only 6:30pm. he frequently gets stomach aches. at first neither of us thought it was a big deal. i thought he’d be fine in couple hours. he started having diarrhea around 7pm. i was in the room playing a game until i started realizing he started puking all the sudden. i was very surprised; immediately i thought his situation was much serious than we expected. after he’s done puking the first time, he felt extremely cold. he was shrivering bad. i made him take a hot bath. he did and went to the bed cold. i turned up the heater and hoped he’d feel better. 20 minutes later he started to taking off all his clothes and asked me to turn down the heater. he said he was extremely hot. by then he was back on the toliet. he then went back and forth for the next two hours. until 10:30pm he asked me to take him to the emergency room. since we just started getting the worest snow storm, i was very afraid of driving. i have very little experience driving in the snow. i didn’t want to get us into more trouble, so i called up andy’s dad and asked him to take us to the mercy hospital emergency room at downtown.
the doctor didn’t do too much. they gave him two IV and some injection which helped him with his dehydration and headache. it wasn’t until 2am andy was pushed out from the emergency room on a wheel chair. the doctor said he could only drink water and eat grain diet for the next 12 - 24 hours. he was extremely thristy that time. we gave him his first bottle of Gatorate.
when we got home, i believed he should be much better. but 20 minutes after we hit the bed, he again puked out all the Gatorate he had earlier. i was really afraid that he would need to go to hospital again. he continued to have diarrhea and puke. he couldn’t have a single thing in his stomach even if it’s just water and he was constantly thristy. i was up most of the nite.
i needed to go to class and an interview this morning. so i called his brother over to look after him. after the interview, i came home. it was 1pm. that was when i heard he had some apple sauce and hadn’t puked it out yet. good news!
i got rid of my work hours tonite to stay home with him. we had a good nap. he’s still asleep. i’m glad. he looks a lot better and peaceful now. i really hope he will be fine by tomorrow nite. the doctors didn’t say if he had flu or food poisoning since he had symptons of both. i’m praying it’s food poisoning coz i certainly don’t want to have the flu. so far i am fine. let’s hope things get better!!
a poem for my love
December 28th, 2001
I listen to your breath
I put my head on your chest
and hear your heartbeat
It’s the most peaceful moment
I can’t help but reminisce
all the beautiful songs we
wrote for each other
Sometime I wish you can hear
my heart calling
They are the words I can not
speak out loud.
It’s the feeling I have
sometimes strong
sometimes weak
Stories built on experiences
They taught me watch out
for certain things on the road
I’m looking forward to sew together
my broken dreams too
Eager but helpless
I just want you to know
I still love you so
If you can see it in my tears
feel it in my touches
hear it my voices
New year is awaiting
I want to look out of the window
See brightness outside
Will you please hold my hand?
I love you
dodo
waiting for winter break?
December 3rd, 2001
i can’t wait til winter break. i seriously need a break. i finally made the registration for my 6 day 7 nites vacation package. andy, i and my dad are going to Fort Lauderdale FL. from Jan 14th - Jan 21th. The vacation covers the hotel, car rent, and two tickets to Universal Studios. I’m quite excited about going there. but it still seems so far away ><
my board continues to have error. no one can log in now. sigh… i just don’t understand what’s the deal!
it’s josie’s birthday today. wish her happy birthday! i found out this weekend and both daynah and vera got their promise rings. that’s so sweet!! congratulations you guys!
friday
November 30th, 2001
people, it’s friday!!! but i have so much work to do. DMB zine suppose to come out tomorrow, i will work really hard on that. i also have a bunch of homework to take care of. how’s your friday so far?
this morning was andy’s turn to trick me. he didn’t turn off his 8am alarm, so when i heard the alarm, i thought it was 9:15am, i felt like dying. i was like i couldn’t wake up at all and andy (of course he knew it was 8) didn’t get up either. so we let the alarm shut itself off. i worked so hard to force my eyes open, when i looked at the clock, it was 8:30!!!!! >< my eyes were baggy all morning.. cries ><
bye thanksgiving
November 26th, 2001
thanksgiving is over.. we are back to reality again. sigh.. last week was really an evenful week for andy and me. moved out monday, cleaning tuesday, going out to nicoles for dinner thursday, working friday, eating at his mom’s saturday, hosting our own dinner sunday. we went a week without internet or tv. and we survived.
i took the 9:49 bus to school this morning. It didn’t arrive downtown until 10:15. I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was going to arrive at 10. at least i wasn’t late for class. that part was okay. i now have to catch up with my school work. i didn’t start my cs project yet and i have stuff for creative writing & discrete structure to finish. more importantly i have to start to look for new apartments. in case andy’s bro’s gf didn’t get the job, we will still have to find another place to reside. arr… everything is crammed together and the end of the school year and holiday are coming too… =P so i probably won’t be very productivity online. i still couldn’t find the chance to put up the new layout for dnw. working on it tho!
new environment
November 20th, 2001
definitely new environment for us but it’s working out great. i feel bad troubling andy’s mom. but right now it’s the best choice. we kinda stuffed her apartments at least her bedroom =P andy told her we only gonna have three boxes. what a liar! we have over ten! we kept most of the stuff in packed form so it will be easier for us to move again. plus i dont think we can fit them in that apartment if we unpack them all. andy’s trying to get the phone activated in the apartment. i will not have internet access at home until then. the apartment is on bus route. i can still ride the bus to school and to work. that’s really a great part. i checked the bus schedule, it’s actually better than my old bus schedule, andy probably wont have to give me a ride every monday, wednesday and friday any more
when andy drove me to school this morning, the downtown was entire blocked. we were confused until i found out the old capitol building was on fire this morning. look! i was mad coz the local government took so many tax payers money to remodel the old capitol now it’s on fire. so they had to take even more money from the citizens. that’s just not fair. i suppose some of the money came from the tutition hike. UI is rasing tuition for next semester for 18.5%!! is that crazy or what? >< i will have to pay so much more money. arrr......... NOT FAIR NOT FAIR! but what can i do ><
after school and work today, i will go to our new place and clean. i can’t wait HAHA… i always love cleaning. now i have the entire thanksigiving break to clean yay! oh i do still have a project for cs tho :P
OMG!!!!!!!
November 19th, 2001
i just found out andy’s moving us OUT TODAY! i didn’t know a thing about it until he called me minutes ago. my mom yelled at him last nite.. but i didn’t know it offended him so bad that he wanted to move out so quickly. i always yearned to move out but not this quick. oh my god. he said he can probably get all stuff moved out in one trip. his dad’s helping with his truck. it just blew my mind. i still having trouble believing this. we are gonna settle down at andy’s mom’s apartment first before we find out where we will live permanately.
poor andy
November 6th, 2001
i feel so sorry for andy. i dont know how he forgot that he had to give a speech today in composition. that must be a big assignment. he came home half hour after he left for school. first i thought his teacher didn’t show up again. then i realized he missed an important assignment. i even mentioned about speech last nite. i thought it’s coming for his class, but not so soon. arrr… he took an hour off the two hour class to type it up and he tried to go to class again. he said he hope won’t fail. ><
let’s pray for him!
later: everything worked out well. he got an A =)
jogging
October 27th, 2001
i was soly impressed by myself. i jogged almost 30 minutes straight for 3 miles. i paced myself well. i didn’t feel that tired after i’m done. it’s a great feeling. i did 60 setups afterwards and that ended my first exercising nite. we will do this very friday now.. i’m looking forward to it.
asian abuse is only a week old. the words have already been spread around all over the place. it’s the sad truth. since i’m still involved in the horrible situation. i tend to force myself not to think about it too much. i thought i took a step forward from what was holding me back. now i feel comfortable talking about it. i will probably let up the ugliest moments of my life out. i intend to join the blog.
i hope we can do more than just vent. perhaps to form an organization to save more victims.. sigh…
my day went well :)
October 24th, 2001
so as you guessed, i didn’t get enough sleep when i woke up this morning and my back hurt. i didn’t want to go to class. at first i begged andy to stay home with me. he did =P but then i had this wild idea to have him go to class with me. again he agreed.
by the time we entered computer science lecture, the auditorium was half full. We sat down next to my friend Paul. There I found out Paul got 100 on his first exam. Grrr.. I just don’t understand how can people always get 100 on their tests! I ALWAYS miss a point or two due to STUPID mistakes even I knew everything. >< I only got 97. Lecture probably bored andy quite bit since we were talking about recursion. I peeked at him from time to time. Fortunately he didn't fall asleep. Actually he attempted to voltunteer for an experiment in the class.
The most fun part of the day was when I had an appointment with my creative writing teacher an hour ago. I couldn’t believe how much I told him about myself. Even though we focused mainly on my writings, it was fun telling him about my family life. He just finished a novel based on his childhood and trying to get it published. I always believed writing is an incredibly hard career to go with. With a degree from law school, he still decided to pursue his pure passion. That’s so admirable!
When I came home after the appointment, my father had a total surprise waiting for me. He brought a drilled duck from a local Chinese store. I thought we can only obtain those kind ducks in big city like Chicago. Hehe it tasted so good. Hmm.. andy would LOVE it when he gets back. I just can’t wait to see andy’s expression when he sees the duck! YUM!
