curly hair.
I love gals with curly hair. I think I made that point very clear within the first week of arriving at Marquette University. People started thinking that I was unstraight. if that's a word. Oh well, its gotten better now. They think im bi. Its a progress. and sometimes I really wonder if I am onot.

Now, i love myself even more. Got it??
Pics will be up soon. It was a hair-painful process for these curls. For rebonding, it was a butt-painful process. Both well-worth it. Though the curls, I have to say, was different than what I had anticipated.

btw, I am on facebook. I feel like I have to tell everyone in order to justify their begging and pushing all these while for me to get it. And no, its not peer pressure, but yes, ur darn right, i do sorta have an ulterior motive.

In this period of gloomy silence where Jesus was once lost in the temple for 40 days, people in America are trying to give up Facebook as part of their sacrifice for Lent, and here I am, being devil's advocate, starting up a Facebook account. To give ppl more reasons to log on to Facebook ever so often. Because Siew Ann the curly haired princess has Facebook. So all ye merchants or Phaseebuukk, do add me. And I'll be glad to testify that Facebook is definitely not addictive, so much so u wanna give it up for Lent. Its just like Friendster but with better features. So, go facebooking looking for me now. As for those of u who do not have Facebook, which probably means ur not in the land of closed culture, I will not bug u to get one. Because one day, if and when u do move here, or even if u do not, u will have an ulterior motive in getting Facebook. That is the best motivator.

new semester....
okay..im so over the mexico story alr...anyway, ending was that my roommate waas still stuck at mexico border...so i called the bus company then we went back to the border to pick her up...she had waited for me for over 2 hours...got really worried and went to ask the officials where i am..then they said they let me go alr..im not there anymore..thats when she decided to take a cab back and thats when we arrive just in time to pick her up....and all this time, the bus driver who fetched me to go to the border to pick jannah up, was saying how we shld go to mexico, have some tequila to celebrate and all. i was like wtf???? im just got detained bcz i didnt have the papers to go into mexico and here u are asking me to go back there to have tequila...bus drivers.tsk tsk. i told him I cant, as i dont have proper papers..then he was like ohhhhh....nvm, we can still have beer.....wahahahahahhahaha!!!

okays, new story.

I have 6 friggin' things going on in my life this summer. In the shot 3.5 months, i have 6 things going on...how is that possible?? well, its siew ann, so its possible..bcz in a semester of 4 months, she is taking 6 subjects, working 11 hours per week, applying for internships and scholarships, and struggling to breathe.

Conclusion: I am still breathing, got called for interview by 2 that I applied and was given offers by both. One is paid internship and one isnt. Both are valid for college credit. The non-paid one is Meta House, Inc. a shelter house for women who abused drugs and other substance. It's a PR internship..but based on the interview, she said I have to do more design stuff which im cool with it...but its not FREAKING PAID! siew ann dont do non-paid stuff bcz she is good enuff to be paid!! So, I kindly told her that I will give her an answer in 4 days time cz im on the interview process. It was a phone interview btw..And, she commented on my resume, that I shld do this that this that...which I was cool with and thankful for...She is a graduate student at Marquette...And she asked me to ask my boss at where im working now (in the student union) to send her a reference letter. My boss kindly obliged..I read what she wrote..and she wrote really nice stuff bout me ;P
The paid internship is event coordinator and event management. The interviewer just wanted me to send some writing samples and she liked my writing samples. So all was good. This is at the Blood Center of Wisconsin, which is located right next to my apartment. How cool is that.??compared to taking a half hour bus ride to where I work. As it is, im tight on time. This internship requires me to work 15-20 hours a week. That's a huge problem. Im doing 11 right now, and im barely breathing. And im organizing a huge community service event at where I work now. Me and another guy are in-charge of this event. Its called Senior Citizens' Prom. Where old folks from various nursing homes are all dolled up and dressed up nicely for this dance, and lunch and entertainment thingy...So, I feel bad that I would have to leave my job half done since my internship wants me to start as soon as she gives me the details bout the job. The thing with this internship is I dont' even know how much I m getting paid and when i start and when i end...

ok, the above was typed and saved as a draft because I wasnt done with posting yet...now there are new things coming up in my life..for example, my UN trip got settled...so I am going to New York to visit the headquarters of the grand United Nations that the stupid America went against....Ill be there from may 20 till June 3. Then hopefully parents gonna meet me in New York..and now i duno how to tell me internship employer that i need another two weeks off for this program...so now that is confirmed, i have to confirm with my parents when tey are coming, then confirm with my bf when he is gonna come....

Going for Media Law class now. a boring class. have to write case reporters, case briefs, journals and I duno wat not...sigh..
