--Finally, we setteled down in Santa Ana. We got jobs after cycling for miles. Not very good-paying job but that was a good start. The bosses and co-workers were nice. We were happy. In the meanwhile, we are looking for some better payment job.
--Finally, we got into school in Fall. After all the hardship in applying, we got what we want-live as a student again, having our major in Marriage and Family Therapy. The school is stupid, still, we are happy cause at least we are students now. Meanwhile, we are thinking of changing to a school in LA, any schools should be better than ours.
--Finally, we changed the Visa. Not a stuoid J1 au pair anymore. We are F1 student in US now, we felt relieve.
--Finally,We lead our regular routine by going to work, then doing homework then school. Sometimes, hainging out with each other. we have been to Universal Studion, and Disneyland. Of course, we tried a lot of good food. We are always bombared by assignments, rushing to get the work done till 3 or 4am . Though, we always have ways to entertain ourselevs. 'Finding enjoyment in a bed of thorns", that's what we have been doing.
--Finally, We got chance to mix with people from all over the world. Most of them were super nice to us. The friendshipd grow. Sometimes, we feel that we are truly blessed. Fate bring us together. We are thankful for having them, who lend their hands when we need them.
--Finally, We got a car. It's a 1994 buick. It's an old car but it's still in good condition. We got it from a Dutch grandparents at 250 US dollar, which is the cheapest price that nobody would believe. Then, we spent hundreds for fixing, hundreds for insurance and regirstration. Not oo bad, the engine is still good. I think we love the car. We drove it to work and school and I have been practicing my skill, so that I can pass my driving test this time. I know I am sucked in driving, but, I think someday I will really get the license, which I have been thinking about ever since last year.
--Finally, My brother got married. My Sister-in-law is going to have the baby next year, April. It's a baby girl. Now, my parents are are busying thinking about the name for the baby. I just wish that the baby can be healthy and happy and kind. That's the 3 most important elements in life. Protocol's going home in two weeks for Spring break. I will be alone but I guess I will be fine.
-- Finally, the semester is going to end in two weeks. Protocol said that she will be back from home earlier. "We shall make a trip to Las Vegas". I was so excited and started searching on the packages to LV. I recalled the trips we had in Washington DC, NYC, Boston and so on. Yeah, it's always good to travel with a good partner who enjoys life and living at the present.
--We registered for Spring classes. At the moment, planning to change the school. We were dreaming about completing the study and get a related job in US for a while, before returning home. It was a wonderful plan, I guess I smiled in in my dream that night.
--Finally, we thought that everything should be ok , at leats for a period of time, laughing at joking abiut each other, waiting for the semester to end.
--Finally, went to a Whiskey Tasting party yesterday night. It was fulled of white people who are originally from Dutch, Ireland and Sweden or America. Everybody was curious about my background. After repeating the same answer for thousands times, I found the balcony and hid. From the horizon, I saw the freeway, and the city of Riverside and LA. No moon, the stars were glittering in the sky. It was 45F yesterday night. I felt my inner organs were shaking. "Are you cold?" Somebody was asking. "Nope." I replied with a smile. I realised that the sky is too wide and endless. However, maybe the sky here doesn't belong to me.
--Finally, I have real financial problem. Family refused to help this time. Mom asked me to pack and go home. I cried to sleep yesterday night, maybe it's a sign of weakness, but I guess it was good to let go some confused sorrow. Where the life is going to take me? or should I lead myself to somewhere?
--Finally, getting back from brunch in Rowland High. The food was good, I ate a lot and was surprised at my own appetite during depression. When I was walking to the parking lot, I felt the sunlight, but the cold wind was blowing. Fall is here, Winter is coing. I left California last year in January. Is the history going to repeat? I guess it's a spell, or curse?
--Finally, I am sitting in front of my favourite laptop, sipping green tea and updating my blog. I seem to be only posting about my agony and confusion nowadays. *sheesh* Not a good sign. But, I guess I will feel better after venting it out. I drink my green tea, it's green. I think I like it.
