Oh yeah, his potty training is getting so much better! He's starting to understand the pee pad concept :)

Pineapple juice and rice

I wasn't feeling too good today, and right after lunch when walking to Tracy's desk, I ran to the bathroom and puked. All of my breakfast and lunch came up. Now I don't really know what to eat so I'm just eating plain rice and drinking pineapple juice (which reminds me of NYC).

Aside from that, I been thinking a lot lately...
I'll leave it at that before my big mouth gets in trouble.

I have this strange urge to do things/go places/see people that I used to have security in, just to have that feeling again. Know what I mean?

I wish it was the weekend so JVA would stop telling Kristi to tell Tracy to tell me things I need to do for him. Ick.

Hey Chicago, what's going on?

Yesterday/Monday morning, I walked into work to my new cubicle which will soon have a royal blue hutch with shelves. Opened up my email to find an email about how Claude is sending me and Catherine to Chicago on business! He said he'd have just sent me but I'm not old enough to rent a car (you have to be 21 or maybe older).

A couple weeks ago, I went out to lunch with Veronica who struck me with "Oh I'm going to Chicago, FYI..." I'm like, "for... Ricardo?" and she's like, "yeah on a business trip," and I almost lost it.

Apparently Reggie found out there were two IT interns now at DTC and he wrote up a request to have one sent over to CTC. Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is HA, Veronica, HA!

Went out to lunch with Tieara yesterday to BK. Their crispy chicken salads are actually real good. That and a Wendy's cup of chili and I'm set for life.

Romeo's potty training is coming a little better. I'm not sure if it's progress or coincidence because the only one who can get him to go potty outside is Dusan. Aside from that, he'll only potty outside in the morning when we wake up and take him out and he can't hold it anymore.

A couple nights ago, Romeo woke me up with his crying from the thunderstorms. Poor baby.

Well, now I'm at UofM-D on orientation registering for classes. Is 13 credits enough? I guess I'm staying at Ricardo during the school year so 13 should be enough. Right? I don't know, this thing is so weird. I had my schedule planned out on paper and when I entered it online, I was waitlisted for every class, resulting in having to redo my schedule.

Umm yeah, about Big Ben leaving Detroit? I'm not feeling that too well. If there's anyone I would have thought represented Detroit sports as an icon, he might have been my first pick. Next to Billups, of course, since he's my Pistons icon. Was it really about the money Ben?

Oh I almost forgot! I got my AP Psych scores back and guess how I did! I got a 5! I know all you Asians out there who took 5 APs each and got 5's on every test are laughing at me, but this is a big accomplishment for me.

His name is Romeo

Since I last posted, everything has been crazy!

For starters, I went back three or four times to see the little puppy in my last entry, and when I woke up on the July 4th morning, my mom was like "alright, let's go to get that dog!".

Name: Romeo
Type: Havanese-Chiuaua
Weight: 3.3 lbs.
Age: 3 months old

He's been keeping me busy although his potty training is not doing well and he badly needs to be neutered (he has some sexual behavior problems - yes you know what I'm talking about). Other than that, he is the sweetest baby and he has such a puppy sense of humor! Look at how tiny he is next to the step!
On July 4th evening, Justin, Dusan, Tim, me, and my mom went to watch the fireworks at Kensington Park. The traffic was like a hundred times worse than last year and it took us an hour longer to get home, but it was well worth it. I got some pretty sweet shots on camera through Tim's binoculars:I wish I had a picture of the smiley face firework they launched - that was pretty cool.

On July 5th, my cousin Hans arrived from Taiwan. It's the first time in years anyone has come to visit, and the first time a cousin has come to visit. So far, we've taken Hans rock climbing, laser tagging, go-carting, putt putting, and have gone to Ann Arbor, Macaroni Grille, Taco Bell, Ajishin, and Noodles and Company.

Here's Colleen, Joe, Tim, Dusan, and Hans at Putting Edge:

With Ricardo, you could probably say I got promoted without actually getting promoted because Claude gave me the task of Flash aaaaaaand I got to move into Brent's old cubicle :) but no extra money :( Anyway, that's a big deal for me, for all you hot-shot Bosch-ers who are laughing right now :P I don't have to sit by Veronica anymore.

Catherine went crazy when finding out I got a dog. She has a dog and treats him/talks about him like he's her son. For lunch one day, she brought me to PetsMart to show me what was the best stuff for my pup. At least I can ask her anything about dogs and she'll know the answer!

Anyway, UofM-D orientation is coming up on Tuesday. Turns out I did alright on the math placement exam, suprisingly. Now we just have to wait on the English scores :)

Oh yeah I almost forgot! D put subs in my car as a grad present!

It's just a million crashes

Despite my Friday night "Whose Line is it Anyway" three hour marathon on my couch by myself yesterday,
And that D and I talked a million things out today,
Yeah I'd have to say I'm pretty unhappy.

Something's got to change and I know that that something has got to be me.

Did you know
I fell in love today?








With a Havanese-Chihuahua who I can't have. He gave me a million kisses.
I'm not sure what I'd name him, but he's the sweetest little dog. Here's a closeup I guess (I know it doesn't help that I have a black shirt and black hair on:
