Bubba’s Other World

I had a doctor appointment this morning and from this meeting the doctor suggested me to go see 2 other doctors to talk about my condition, swollen feet and lower back pain.

I only could set up appointment with the foot doctor and tomorrow I’m going to see the bone doctor. According to the foot doctor, I have a condition called incompetent veins and need to wear support hose for both of my legs. Let me tell you, I had worn this ankle support before and it wasn’t comfortable. The doctor told me that when I walk or stand, the fluid that has flowed into my foot can’t go back up because of “my condition.” Not many people has this condition. He also explained that I would be having a bigger problem in the future when I’m trying to get pregnant because I might not be able to walk because my feet will get really swollen. I asked if it would help if I lose some weights and he said that losing weights won’t help much. I relieved to hear this because I don’t want to lose weight.So, me wearing flat shoes? no no anymore. I must wear something with heels.

Tomorrow after my design critique, I will see the bone doctor to discuss about my lower back pain. I will update again tomorrow.

My back pain was very severed last night that made it hard for me to get up and turn my body while sleeping. Yeah,that’s how terrible it is. I hope everything is going to be allright.

I took my driving test this morning after taking the lesson 3 times, and I passed! yeah. I’m glad. Now I have to save money to get a cheap used car. I’m glad because if I have a car, I don’t have to spend 5-6 hours on a train/day to go to San Jose.Yeah it’s been a pain to me.

First, need to find a job. Once I’m settled with certain income, I’ll get a car.Maybe credit a used car or buy a really cheap one.

we’ll see la

I went to perm half of my hair, colored my hair darker and trim it a bit so it wouldn’t be too hot.
This is my new look

and this

from this

what do u think?

I went to Dave Brubeck Quartet Concert. It was amazing! I got to see Dave Brubeck in person…….Too bad I forgot to bring my camera and couldn’t take picture with my phone’s camera
The concert was worth it the money I had spent. I sat on the floor level which was close enough to the stage.
The only problem was the chairs; they were regular FOLDING chairs. I was expecting the seats would be like movie theater seats.

Dave Brubeck was a funny guy. I like his Saxophone player best.

My heart got broken before I had the chance to do anything. Two or three people know who this person is.
Maybe we’re just not meant to be.
It’s been a while since the last time I really liked someone and before I had a chance to start, this person has already broken my heart. It’s not his fault tho.
Want to know the story? I guess I can write here since he doesn’t know my blog. Hahaha.

The day I met him
My friend who was getting married asked him to pick me up for her wedding banquet. First time I met him I was a bit pissed because he was late 32 minutes. He apologized tho. Then, I found out he was a bit weird but after awhile, I started to like his personality more and more. He’s studying to be a photographer (maybe this is what makes me interested in him in the first place).
I figured that day he might be younger than me.
When we reached the restaurant that afternoon, we were the first one to arrive. We waited and talked a little and I liked him more and more. Later, he was helping me with my duty at the wedding. The funny thing was we talked like we were two long lost friend who just found each other. Maybe u all know that I’m not that type who can befriend with someone I just knew.
After the banquet was over, I worried that there would be none available to take me home (the wedding was in Emeryville). He asked me if I wanted him to take me home. Of course I said yes coz I really had nobody to take me home. When we got out of the restaurant, we saw a very beautiful-non foggy- san francisco skyline. We admired the view for a while and I asked him to take picture of me. Unfortunately, my small digicam is not made to take night pictures.

He opened the door for me and took me home.

There was nothing really going on. I was too exhausted that night…..
Well, I kinda liked him a lot… Let me rephrase it… I liked him a lot and asked my friend to ask him if there was a chance….Unfortunately no…..
Apparently I am too older for him (he’s 4 years younger than me). I totally understand this, but I’m still sad. I’m sad because it’s really hard for me to really like somebody, really really really like. I think this is the first time I met someone who really “clicked” with me. Well u know la what i”m talking about. Sometimes, I started thinking… “is it because I’m too fat for some Asian guys?”

Well maybe…..
I’m really sad but life must go on.

Hellow!

Third week of school and I’ve had some furlough days. I can’t wait for the next furlough days. I wonder if other state universities also have furlough days (SFSU does!)

I got the classes I wanted,well, not all of them but most of them. I dropped one class because the instructor never teaches and he asks students to talk talk and talk BS in the class. I had bad experience taking a class with non-teaching professor.

I narrowed down some classes for graduation and still waiting for confirmation from a graduation adviser. I decided to take 1 extra semester because taking 3 studio classes/semester is like taking double/triple jobs, not including other classes. So, I’d rather taking less classes with more promising grades and knowledge than taking plenty of classes and do poorly in each of them (like someone).

Last week I was at the peak of my exhaustion. I had left early morning (7am) M-F and got home around 9pm. It was all because I was taking 18 units, had some administrative things to take care, and I was still looking for another class to add. On Friday, after I was done with my photo class, I rested in a hall, opened my bag, and my camera rolled out of my backpack. It dropped on the floor. It was still in the bag, so I didn’t think there would be anything wrong with it. Unfortunately, when I wanted to use it the day after tat, I realized that the LCD screen is broken. I was really sad about it and called several dslr repair shop around SF, but none of them fixed LCD. I called Sony and the customer service told me to send the body back and had it fixed. Cost? I only got an estimate about $170+tax+shipping. Well, I don’t want to get a new DSLR, so I decided to fix it. I hope there’s nothing else wrong with the camera.

Another bad thing happened last Saturday: a friend yelled and got really upset with me for not reminding her to go to another friend’s wedding. I was really pissed because I didn’t see it my fault at all. It was her responsibility to check the wedding date, not mine. I had told her 1 week before the school started that the wedding would be at the end of August, and I would be really busy after the school started. U see who’s the idiot here? me or her? OF COURSE HER. I finally decided to cut my friendship with her because she’s been treating me wrong these years and I was kind enough to befriend with her.

Oh yeah, I scratched my laptop case BADLY. REAL BAD. This laptop looks really really ugly now. My feet are swollen and not going to get better soon. It hurts so badly when I walk, but I have no choice.

Now the good thing part (besides the me-getting-classes-I-wanted part): I figured out how to save money on my train’s fee. What else? I found lactose-free milk at Safeway couple days ago. I was happy coz I can drink milk without the stomachache now. I still can eat dairy product as long as it’s not too much. eating a little is only going to make my stomach growl. What else?

the list of classes I’m taking this semester:

• Beginning Graphic Design
• Color Photography
• Art History
• Art writing class
• Human Biology.

Ok that’s all for now. I’m writing this blog in hurry coz I have another class to go to.

Ciao!
