Hello!
Seems like livejournal is not so...lively anymore. Where's everybody flocking over to? Xanga? Facebook? Blogspot?
I miss blogging terribly--but it looks like I won't be able to blog again...for a very long time, considering the fact that my apartment has no internet access. And with the new baby on way--due in mid-May 2008-- I will be busy feeding and wiping cute drools from a cute, chubby baby face. :D But so far my life has been filled with wonderful kinds of blessings and I am eternally thankful what the Lord has given me.
You can hop in my xanga (www.xanga.com/carissaif) -- but the updates are rare like gems! But I will try my best to update whenever I go to the library :)

When I arrived at my apartment at 7:45 PM, to be exact, I was equally overwhelmed with joy and exhaustation. My long and painful quarter consisting of 20 credits has finally come to an end. My summer vacation has begun...at least will be for other one and half week.
And I have never known such a delicious feeling in the whole world.
Am going out to celebrate tonight, alcohol-free, that is. ;)

To ladies all over who are desperately seeking for love and waiting for a perfect, handsome knight in shining armor to come along riding on a white horse, HALT! There is no such thing as a perfect love, nor is there such thing as a shining knight in a perfect golden armor. Don't be picky when it comes to love, because you will only end up getting your heart stamped over and your beautiful dreams shattered into broken pieces of glass.
I've found my charming prince, but he is not PERFECT as I would like him to be. I never planned on falling in love with him, but I did. It hit me out of nowhere. Ladies, there is no such thing as a perfect boyfriend/man/hubsand, and if you believe that there is a perfect soulmate out there for you, then sadly, you are deluded. Don't sit around and whine. I've seen so many of my friends do that and I sadly shake my head at them, because I know reality is abound to hit them--HARD someday.

Shoo, shoo summer! Hurry up, fall! Fall is the one of my favorite seasons during the year. Back to school. My birthday. Halloween. Warm apple cider. Hot chocolate. Fall foliage. Cozy sweaters. Spooky nights. Ghost stories. Homecomings. Delicious, hot, thick soups. Thanksgiving. New friends. Old friends. Halloween candies. Fall colors.

I am so fed up with school! Loss of motivation, apathy, laziness, and you name it...are getting to me so badly! All I want to play, play, play and watch movies and hang out with friends and chat and chat and chat all the night away. Blahh...

I am an avid list maker. I love to make lists in order to keep track of the little things in my life that I need to do. I even have lists of the exotic, foreign places I want to go, things I want to buy, my dreams and goals I want to attempt before I die, things to do before the weekend arrives, and such. Without my little lists I won't be able to succeed the goals I want to reach, the little goals that make up the bigger goals. Oftentimes throughout the day, I would see the things I need to do and I quickly jot the things up on my list and then eventually crossing them off with a such sense of accomplishment when I am done. Then adding more. My lists are handwritten and I use cute colored pens to cross off the items I have completed. Usually I draw a little box next to the item...and put an "X" there when I am done. So much a part of my personality. Without my lists, I feel out of control because I am unable to keep the track of everything.
Yes, I am such a perfectionist, in case you haven't known.
I have a social psychology EXAM tomorrow and a paper due tomorrow. Today is Tuesday, yet it feels like Monday. I had so much fun during the July 4th weekend with my prince charming. Right now, I am feeling like I want to turn on the air-condtioner full-blast and make myself a homemade peach smoothie and watch DVD rental movies all day.

i'm so inspired and happy these days. i adore being back HOME and all but in the meanwhile i've got to jostle up and return to rochester on friday. but no worries, i've got some pretty wild summer plans for myself there as well.
i'm going to stop straightening my hair because using the hair iron damaged my hair so much that my hair strands now resemble wool. ew, not pretty at all. so, i'm going to let my natural wavy hair show. after all, my hair is getting longer and wavy hair is in style...so why not? let's see... :)
during the last week, i just helped my sister do some of her greece trip scrapbook--well, i actually did HALF of it because i love scrapbooking so much =D... greece is sooo beautiful and i really want to go there someday--serious case. my china trip scrapbook is not even finished but ehh like 30 more pages left =/ i really want to travel and explore the foreign lands and go to places nobody has gone before...my desires are simply driving me crazy!
i can't wait to get my flithy, grubby little fingers on my SSI tomorrow so that i can shop like crazy at the Arden Mall. i also need to buy dozens of gifts for my painfully handsome boyfriend's birthday! ;) ;) i have a busyyyy day tmw --dr appt at 8 45 then zoom to bank and the mall and then some crafts store like Michaels, Joann's, Beverlys-- because they are having a HUGE sale. then off to superwalmart with my mommy. after all that, off to El Torito Mexican restaurant with my parents during the night to grab some family time before i return to new york.
oh yes, one more weirdo thing about me --i LOATHE starbucks. yes, Starbucks! don't be shocked. i have always hated coffee but i do like white chocolate frozen mocha sometimes but COFFEE--major yuckage for me! i was unable to comprhend why so many people and celebs are so insane over Starbucks. ewww. fruit smoothies rock my world --especially MANGO or PINEAPPLE-COCONUT smoothies! *licks my lips* :)~

during the last week of the spring quarter at RIT, when i was horribly sick with severe ear infection, i curled up inside my apartment, armed myself with orange juice and snickerdoodle cookies, and watched this MARVELOUS, BREATHTAKING Indian movie:
Veer - Zaara
it's rather a lengthy movie but it is truly a gem for all the romantics out there! ( more )

i'm having those really intense cravings for rich, expensive, and exotic food. prosciutto...goat cheese...artichokes steamed in lemony water...roma tomatoes w/ olive oil and garlic...olive tapenade...risotto and peas...french bread....crisp and cold grape juice...tiramisu.
oooh i'm still hungry.
EDIT: oooh, make that roasted garlic, spread onto french bread and topped with slightly warm roma tomatoes drizzled with olive oil.
I might die if i keep on thinking of food.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others hearts. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll shed tears because time is passing way too fast, and you'll eventually lose somebody you love. So take too many PICTURES, LAUGH as much as you can, FORGIVE freely and LOVE like you've never been hurt, because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

i love Rachael Ray's yummyilicious recipes! (Rachael Ray is the hostess of the "30 Minute Meals" on Foodnetwork TV). she is the one who inspired me to start cooking--and thanks to her, i fell in love with cooking! anyways, here is one of my favorites--great for hot, blazing summer afternoons:
( Lava Flows - Pina Coladas with Rivers of Strawberry )
--so anyways, i have no idea why i am up at this wee hour of the night. i just had this remarkably insane day of the quarter. this morning i woke up with a swollen, sore throat. i ran to my boyfriend for comfort and indeed to say, he saved my life by making me an arabian flower tea and pita bread with eggs for breakfast--which insantly melted away all the pain and suffering. then i had to run off to bursar to resolve some financial issues and then off to study for data analysis exam. but then my throat was kicking up again and one of my friends gave me a strong cough syrup. i almost vomited with one gulp of the medicine...that syrup practically burned my esophagus! in less than an hour from my data analysis exam, i was all woozy and i could not walk straight. ohhh boy but the exam certainly was a blur and a breeze for me. afterward that, my bf and i went to his friend's apartment to pick up some of the things since he is moving out and all, i nearly fell asleep because of all the boy talk bickering. enuff about that. then i came back to an explosion of drama between my roommate and his boyfriend. all of the sudden, they have decided to break up over the stupidest reason in the whole world. i wont say any more due to the peeping toms. yikes...look at the time...i better hit the sheets and get recharged for two exams tomorrow---and then i am DONE for the spring quarter! yay! byee.

i really need to stop worrying too much about everything. i just realized that i wasted my energy on worrying and worrying --- all while everything shall turn up to be just fine.
i'm on a weird kind of chocolate craving. but that chocolate ben & jerry ice-cream didn't satisfy my craving. so fake.
i cant wait to be home. there is something in the air here that makes me all woozy and weird. everybody's been acting really, really strangely, too.
i'm so not looking forward to summer school. my brain is on the point of breaking down. i'm stuck here in wally library, studying for data analysis final. i'm the world's biggest idiot to take the data analysis online class while myself, hates statistics and math with all my blood and bones. i dont care if i pass that class with a fat D as long as i'm DONE with that class ;)
this weekend i was planning to have a friends' getway to the lakes or something under a blazing hot sun --but noooo it's supposed to rain like cats and dogs on friday and saturday. boo-hoo.
i better stop typing away and start studying some more..pffty ;)
