what were u expecting?

I lost something very dear to me 1.5 weeks ago. *sigh*... i knew i still needed it, but i've been okay w/o it so far. i lost my samsonite umbrella. haha.. yea.. sucks. that's the 4th or 5th umbrella i've lost in 4 yrs. my mom is like... "don't ever get an expensive umbrella! you're going to lose it!". well, i went back to berkeley last night and went to the same store i bought my previous umbrella and i dropped $22 for a new one.

what's so good about it? it's freakin awesome. it's small, lightweight, and most importantly it has a button. yea... but this is a special button. u press it once, and it expands (like all others), but then you press the button again... and voila! it closes! it's so practical when you're getting in and out of ur car. b/c usually... u'll need two hands to close ur umbrella. during this task of closing it, either you're standing outside ur car or you're in your car with the door open. by having this great device, you can minimize the amount of rain that gets onto you and your car door (interior). so there was my shameless plug for Samsonite mini automatic open/close umbrellas.

so i'm getting 1/19 off for MLK. what to do this weekend... roadtrip to LA? hmm... i think i've come to the conclusion that ppl think i have a lot of friends. ok, just hear me out. i do have a lot of aqcuaintances/friends, but not close friends i hang out w/all the time. i see the impact of not having a best friend. by having a best friend.. i'd imagine that you'd chill w/that person a lot. but me... hmm... i think my close friends usually think that i'm out w/other friends... so they don't call me up. it's kinda like how you get a gf/bf... then all ur friends kinda stop calling u b/c they assume ur hanging out w/ur gf/bf. so what i'm basically saying is that i sit at home... waiting for the phone to ring... b/c my friends are out. "So Sam, why don't u call them up?"... i call them.. and i get vmail, or they're outta town, or they're busy w/something... or they're out already... don't worry.. i'm not complaining about my friends. i love them. hmm... maybe it's just time for me to get a gf or a new hobby. there was my little rant for the week.
