iPhone 5

A few weeks ago, Brian decided that we should buy a new laptop for me since mine was like almost 5 years old (<3 my Lenovo).  He wanted to get a Mac for me instead of a PC since I get the most random viruses.  Once, I got one super lame virus from listening on the Glee channel on radio.com.  I didn't even know that was possible!!!  Anyways, the new retina display is so pretty though!  It is kind of worth the pain and suffering I went through trying to learn how to use the MacBook.  I still press CTRL C sometimes though...  

My old Samsung Fascinate phone was dying on me.  It would turn off out of the blue.  Sometimes it would even freeze when I was trying to answer a call, and it would keep on ringing until I dismantled my phone!  Brian couldn't really hear me either when I called him, especially when I put him on speaker phone.  However, Brian ordered us both iPhone 5's, and it just came last Friday... at least mine did!!  Poor Brian.  Verizon screwed up and sent his to California.  It had to be rerouted to Boston and arrived later than mine.  I must say 4G is wayyyyyyy faster than 3G.  This new phone is so nice, thin, and light.  I kind of miss swypo though because I text at such a slow speed now.  Two Apple products within a month.... does that make me an Apple converter?  >.<

Thanks dear!  You are the best!! <3

Pumpkin Spice Latte

I don't particularly enjoy drinking coffee because it almost gives me an instant headache and tummy ache.  SO... I am really excited about the return of Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte. It makes drinking coffee so much more enjoyable while studying renal pathophysiology, which apparently makes no sense to me yet it makes me sleepy at the same.  What a bad combo!!  However, it was just a tad too yummy, so I consumed it just a little too fast, giving me a huge caffeine high.  My forehead turned numb, and I felt a quite dazed.  Brian laughed when I told him, saying that I need to build up my caffeine tolerance. =*(

While drinking PSL, I couldn't help but sing "This is Halloween!  This is Halloween!!.... Everyone hail to the pumpkin song!"  ^_^

Summer Update

Mike, Jen, & Alyssa came to visit in June.  It's been awhile since we've seen them, but Alyssa has grown so much!  We went to the New England Aquarium & Fenway with them.  New England Aquarium was dark, gloomy, and old.  Nothing compared to the one in Long Beach or Monterey.

We made a quick trip to NYC to visit James & Alison before they left for Shanghai.  They are moving so far away =*(.  Also, we went to visit my cousin Tammi too who has just moved to NYC in May.  Wee for more people on the Least Coast... I mean East Coast!!

After my dreadful MBA summer classes ended, I went back to the Best Coast for almost 2 weeks to take care of wedding planning stuff.  It sure wasn't enough time!!  I had to carry all the invitations back to assemble them myself.  I should have stayed in California a few more days for some friendly free labor from Leanne or Calvin!  While here, I also stuffed myself silly with delicious food that is no where to be found in Boston.  Brian was quite jelly when he asked me each night what I was going to eat.  Poor Brian... he was stuck in Boston b/c of work!

Speaking of California, I miss Baloo!!  I kept on waking up early for the first couple of days there, so Baloo kind of got use to it.  When I started to adjust to PST, he kept on waking me up super early by whining and walking around.  Oh Baloo... you are so silly!!

Since I was in the OC a lot to meet with vendors, I had time to visit my adorable niece Zoey.  She cried when she saw me at first since I was a STRANGER DANGER to her, but after a few minutes, she warmed up to me.  She started to poke my face and constantly tried to tear off my glasses while giggling so much!  She cried when I left, which made me teary!  I don't think she'll recognize me when I go back home next time... Sadness!!

Back to Boston!  Brian & I went to another Red Sox game... thanks to Alex & Maggie's early wedding present.  It was so fun!!  Many good plays and home runs... except for when we got to the 6th or 7th ending.  Red Sox blew their 6 point lead in one inning...

Sorry for the delay, but as usual... Brian & I have such busy schedules.  I am writing this update while in a National Health Policy class.  Hiding in the back right now, so the professor can't see what I'm doing.  ^_^

Face Palm!

MBA summer classes, massive wedding planning, and then back to med school = major face palm!!  Will try to update after my first exam, which is the day after Labor Day.  *Another face palm....*

It's Been One Year!

It's been one year exactly two days ago on June 6th that we uprooted our lovely lives in California and moved to Boston.  Both Brian and I can't believe it's actually been a year!!  We miss all our friends and family very much and hope to see you guys when we visit home next weekend!!  Until then... <3

Memorial Weekend

Hi everyone!!  Sorry we have been MIA for awhile.  Brian was busy at work like usual, and I was finishing up my last few weeks of school.  Wee finally done with 1st year!!  It appeared to have gone by so fast, yet so slow at the same time, especially around exam time.  Does that even make sense?  LOL Anyways, Brian's parents came to visit last week.  It was so good to see them!  We took them to the outlets & had lots of yummy dinners.  We were thinking of going to Cape Cod, but it seems to always rain when we want to take our guests there.  How odd!!  Then my cousin Tammi just came this past weekend.  She nudged me to help move my wedding planning along.  Few things done.. plenty more to go!! 

With all our guests & friends, I think I celebrated my birthday like 4 times. Wooo!!

It's over!!

Just took my final practical/MCQs for anatomy yesterday!! Weee... no more smelling like formaldehyde when I come home!! People have said that the anatomy course is a very rewarding experience, but they will never EVER do it again. I solemnly agree!! Farewell anatomy! Bye bye Netter's!

Anyways, my cousin Tammi freaked me out last week while I was trying to study LOL. It's already hard enough for me to studying for a long period of time without thinking & planning the wedding. She said I really REALLY need to start planning. I told her I'll start after April 25, which marks the end of Med Foundations III. So today, I made an appointment two weeks from now to look at wedding dresses. One thing down... a million more things to go. ^_^
