I’m finally back. I came back with lots of new toys. New cellfone, new shoes, more food, new clothes, wireless a/v adapter. My mini maglite replacement bulb cracked on the way, but oh well.

A greek tragedy happened today @ 5:30pm. I was burning my digipix so I can take them back to my computer and after burning them I deleted them and emptied my trashcan to conserve space. Later I realized that the cd was burnt incorrectly and none of the pictures were burnt and I just lost over 80 pictures including all my Disneyland ones. A careless mistake on my part because I had a whole week to upload to my server and it came back as a great loss. Hopefully, I still have my 2nd round of digipix on my visit to damion.

Here’s a summary of my spring break:

Friday – Came home.

Saturday – Went to 2 different malls and 8 different shoe stores (Montebello and Puente Hills) and finally found a pair of shoes I liked. I’m not that picky but I wasn’t willing to let my mom spend $80 on a pair of shoes. Also bumped into boby bear @ Puente Hills @ Old Navy. Saw him with 2 girls and mistaken them to be Suzanne and Susan. Boby bear has no comments on who the girls are so I’ll just assume they’re his new girlfriends since he broke up with Yummy (Yumi).

Tuesday – the night before, I had a hard time deciding to go to the beach or to Disneyland. Ladydevilot finally convinced me to go with her. Mousey, Chung and Jenny also came along and we had a blast! More details on it later if I feel like it. Still very sad over my lost of these wonderful digipix.

Wednesday – Great day cause I met so many friends! Crabyaple and hunni4pooh invited me to dinner @ Hanashima (is that how u spell it?). Anyway, boby bear, stixpac, pikakat, daisy, and Kevin were there. Some unfortunate drama occurred with Louis, but after the 3 comedians (Julius, Sam, and Alan from Alhambra) came, the atmosphere changed to a joyful one.

Thursday – Had lunch with sueon and we went to Café Spot on Valley (recommended by ladydevilot). The stuff there was pretty good and once again I got to eat Gai Dan Jai (Chinese pancakes). I’ve had them in Hong Kong and New York, but this is the first time I found them here. They were so good! Sueon just got his wisdom teeth pulled (eeeek!) and has trouble eating and his parents aren’t letting him go too far away from home. Had mines pulled during winterbreak and it was a pain in the you know what. — crabyaple, elbandmonkey, dione later came to visit me (dione actually came to catch a glimpse of … n/m don’t think I’m allowed to say who). I finally know who dione is after so long because apparently she lives like a block away from me. I also found out that elbandmonkey and kalekkos made it to Berkeley! W00H00!!! Later that nite, teikoku imed me and told me she didn’t make it and I felt really sorry for her because she tried so hard in High School and it must’ve been a mistake. Hopefully she’ll be able to appeal it.

Friday – had to decide between going to six flags magic mountain or visiting damion. A promise is a promise so I ended up visiting damion. We went to In-N-Out for lunch then a brief tour of UCI. Then we ended up @ Corona del Mar (some part of NewPort Beach) and just played in the sand and rocks. Last but not least, we played Smash Brothers on damion’s little brother’s Gamecube. Hehe.

Saturday – Returned home.

P.S. Pictures will be posted asap. Still need to rename them and it’s 4am right now + I have a meeting @ 11am tomorrow for my CS project. G’nite ^_^zzz

today as I was walking past a trashcan, I saw a homeless person. I was thinking, these are nature’s helpers. How in the world can people view them as a disease to society? While what we consider to be normal human beings will trash the earth like it doesn’t matter with pollution, garbage, and destruction, these homeless people go through our garbage just so that our world can be a cleaner place. The trash and pollution they produce is minimal compared to even what I produce. Very conservative and they view everything in life at a much higher worth than any one of us will view it. Just my thought of the day as I was walking past a trashcan while a homeless person was picking out the recyclables.

Spring Break is here and I’m packing up. w00h00!! Stupid professor decided tomorrow was a great day to have a midterm. Yucky yuck! It’s very unlikely I’ll be updating my webpage over the break. Gomen Gomen, but I’ll be sure to post pictures when I return. Something to look forward to. -_^x

went to Arinell’s for the 2nd time today and lemme tell you, they have the best pizza I’ve ever tasted. $2.00 (Neapolitan style) or $2.25 (Sicilian style). I prefer the Sicilian style (Neapolitan style is the regular pie shape and is very good, but I prefer Sicilian) because it’s a rectangular shape pizza with about 1cm of cheese on top. Yummm. It was delicious. When you eat it, the cheese actually stretches about ½ a feet! Had to wait today though. Got there @ 11:25 and waited till 12:10 before they had the Sicilian style pizza ready. Some guy ordered 28 pizzas so they had to delay their opening time. The wait was well worth it.

Picture of the week has been updated. Enjoy ^_^x

The Sexual Response Cycle

The headlines created by Kinsey’s 1940s survey reappeared after some 1960s studies in which scientists recorded the physiological responses of volunteers who masturbated or had intercourse. With the help of 382 female and 312 male volunteers – a somewhat atypical sample, consisting only of people able and willing to display arousal and orgasm while being observed in a laboratory – gynecologist-obstetrician William Masters and his collaborator Virginia Johnson (1966) monitored or filmed more than 10,000 sexual “cycles.”

Their description of sexual response cycle identified four stages, similar in men and women. During the initial excitement phase, the genital areas become engorged with blood, causing the man’s penis to become partially erect and woman’s clitoris to swell and the inner lips covering her vagina to open up. Her vagina also expands and secretes lubricant, and her breasts and nipples may enlarge.

In the plateau phase, excitement peaks as breathing, pulse, and blood pressure rates continue to increase. The penis becomes fully engorged and some fluid – frequently containing enough live sperm to enable conception – may appear at the tip of the penis. Vaginal secretion continues to increase, the clitoris retracts, and orgasm feels imminent.

Masters and Johnson observed muscle contractions all over the body during orgasm; these were accompanied by further increases in breathing, pulse, and blood pressure rates. A woman’s arousal and orgasm facilitate conception by helping propel semen from the penis, positioning the uterus to receive sperm, and drawing the sperm farther inward. A woman’s orgasm therefore not only reinforces intercourse, which is essential to natural reproduction, it also increases retention of deposited sperm (Furlow and Thornhill, 1996). In the excitement of the moment, men and women are hardly aware of all this but are more aware of their rhythmic genital contractions that create a pleasurable feeling of sexual release. The feeling apparently is much the same for both sexes. In one study, a panel of experts could not reliably distinguish between descriptions of orgasm written by men and those written by women (Vance & Wagner, 1976).

After orgasm, the body gradually returns to its unaroused state as the engorged genital blood vessels release their accumulated blood – relatively quickly if orgasm has occurred, relatively slowly otherwise. (It’s like the nasal tickle that goes away rapidly if you have sneezed, slowly otherwise.) During this resolution phase, the male enters a refractory period, lasting from a few minutes to a day or more, during which he is incapable of another orgasm. The female’s refractory period is not very long, which may make it possible for her to have another orgasm if restimulated during or soon after resolution.

diapers: Wow! “I’m running low on diapers today.” “Should I turn my diapers inside out to wash them?” What the heck am I talking about. LOL, can’t believe that was going through my head before and during my laundry task.

These are the cutest little mints I’ve ever seen! Got them in my mail (freebie) awhile ago but was hungry today so I opened them up. I still miss my penguins caffeinated mints, but these will have to do for now.

As for yesterday’s post, I’ll first show you a clip of what we were reading:

This is actually from our Psych book and it was really funny because we were reading this outloud in my suite and people would often come over and mechy and I would laugh due to embarrassment.
