Young Love

When I was little, my mom took me to piano lessons on the weekends.  Learning how to play instruments is a huge Asian parent thing.  For the beginner's classes, they were group classes and I made friends with a couple of the students. 

When Titanic came out, it was THE movie.  Everyone was talking about it, everyone had seen it.  (Side note:  it was pretty awkward watching it with my parents when the drawing scene came on).  One of my piano classmates, Alex, gave me the cutest gift ever.  He gave me a book about the Titanic.  I'm not sure if he realized that the story didn't have a happy ending, but both of our parents cooed and aaahhed about how sweet it was.  I think I was too young to understand why he gave me the book, and besides, he was just someone I saw each Saturday.  But to this day, I still have the book he gave me.

I haven't seen Alex since those piano classes back in the day.  When my mom was pressuring me to get a boyfriend, she told me to look him up (he was a pretty cute kid).  I tried to find him on Facebook but to no avail.  Come to think of it, I'm not sure if I remembered his last name correctly. 

Dream Car

So I had a conversation with friends regarding cars and the topic of dream cars came up.  Just so it happens, my dream car drove by and I pointed it out.  The reaction that I got was utter disgust.  Exclamations of the ugliness of the car and that even a pickup truck would be preferred.  The car that I pointed to was the Range Rover Evoque.

I think my first recollection of Range Rovers was on "The O.C.", when Ryan drove the Cohen's Range Rover.  Back then, I thought that the car was huge, ugly, and overpriced.

Now, Range Rover has this new car that looks so sexy and pretty!  And the price is much more affordable than the regular Range Rovers.  I still can't see why my friends thought the car was ugly  +_+

Success!

Yes!!  I passed my driver's license test!  It was pretty nerve wracking since I saw that one of the proctors was the same lady who failed me last time.  Luckily, I got the other guy who kindly passed me even though I hit the curb when I was parking. 

Now, to tackle the other items on my list.....

Also contemplating getting this nail polish from Illamasqua but it's pretty expensive...$16

Proactive

Nope, this post is not about acne.

This is about being proactive, getting my ass out of the chair, getting what I want instead of sitting back and waiting for it to eventually come to me.  I started to think about being proactive after a recent spate of events (including grandparent's death, health scare in the family, unrequited love, realizing I'm getting old, etc. etc.)

So, below is a list of things that I MUST accomplish ASAP:

~sign up for a dating site (pondering okcupid)
~get my driver's license no matter how many times I need to take the test
~take the GRE
~start my applications to grad school
~try to meet new people (at a club/bar?!?)

Also, I feel like I should treasure my parents more and try not to get pissed out every time they nagged me

After all, YOLO, right?
