Hi, I'm Chiui dela Cruz. I like books, Korean music, Asian languages, cat GIFs, the internet, pasta, lettuce, the smell of coffee and plastic (a.k.a the smell of airplanes), thrift stores, hipster jokes, and coolness. Today we had some “Barbecue party” at the park with all the Church members. There weren’t barbecues at all.
After that, I joined my parents as they went house-hunting with another couple from Church. Then I insisted on going window-shopping, but then I ended up at Magrudy’s. Everyone knows that when I enter a bookstore, I seldom go out empty-handed. Dad bought me this book called We Need To Talk About Kevin, which is about a highschool kid who murders. Anyway, after that I went all hungry for pasta so I went to Il Forno. At the end of the day, I burped. End of story. KTHXBAI.
Kidding.
I love this day, even though we didn’t stop by at Starbucks. I always wanted the taste of the drinks there. OOOOH. But I hate the name of that place. Starbucks. Ugh. And the way people mention it.
Anyway.. again, I love this day. Mainly because my sister wasn’t around because she had this get-together with her peers. LOL. That wasn’t completely a joke, but then that’s not completely true. Heheh. 
I love having to hang out with people, without me having to pay for anything. Or maybe I pay for things but it wouldn’t hurt my pocket because I have all the money in the world. Nyaha. Really, I want to be rich. I have sorts of crazy dreams.
No, I have different ambitions. People say “Oooh I wanna be a veterinarian”, and “I wanna be a police and catch criminals”, or “I wanna be a pilot”. I don’t even know what’s so great about being a pilot, but I believe there’s something noble about the normal jobs. I just don’t think that these jobs are so fun. I mean, they’re all so blank. When you say you want to be a doctor, they can picture you already. They see you as someone with your tools and uniform. And they’re right. That’s so typical. I hate being normal. But being weird takes so much risks.
I have different ambitions:
1. I want to be an English teacher in South Korea. At the same time be a lead actress of some romantic-comedy Korean Drama. Bahaha. I want Lee Dong Wook to be the lead actor. (I want bashings on my Cyworld account) ROFL. The problem is, I won’t be majoring in theatre arts and I don’t have that kind of beauty. My beauty is kinda hidden…somewhere you can’t find. Bwahaha. But I want to be Eun Hyuk’s girlfriend. *Fangirling*
2. I want to be in my Dad’s company, taking ANY job I can. I love his job because it seems to pay him big time. Bwahaha.
3. I want to not continue college and just be a YouTube celebrity, and then be an English teacher in South Korea. And have a lot of noodles for breakfast.
4. I want to win a lot of money and not go to college anymore. And I’ll just study something just for a degree, and then still be an English teacher in South Korea. And still have lots of noodles for breakfast.
They have things in common. All I really want is to teach English in South Korea, quit college, and have some noodles.

I have lots of ambitions as well. In fact, everytime I tried new things, I would put it down as one of my ambitions. Like for example, I found out that I’m actually good at football. Now, I actually want to do it as a living because players get paid with lots of money. But I don’t really played football that much & I only do it every P.E. not regularly/everyday.

I want to be an English teacher and go to Japan, Taiwan and Korea just so I could fangirl scream at all my asian drama crushes, except I don’t know any of their REAL names. Hmm, do you think it would be weird if I got to the guy playing Gu Jun Pyo, and fangirl scream “GU JUN PYO?!!!” hahahahaha

I LOVE noodles. Hahahaha. You’re making me hungry with all the mention of noodles. You have plenty of ambitions though. I used to have a fair few; then they all sorta dissolved. I used to want to be popular on YouTube… then I thought – that might be bad. XD
Haha I love not having to pay for stuff. James pays for a lot of stuff for me.. which always makes me feel bad hahaha. And no worries, I won’t step on your foot.
I have never had a pedicure!
Thanks for the comment! <3

Shouldn’t you go for what you believe in? Go for what you wanted to be since birth, early infancy, a tiny toddler and all. What’s the point of going for something you’ve never believed in and ended up regretting the rest of your lives continue working on it?

I went to a BBQ today, and it was just free burgers from In-N-Out Burger, haha!
And I have these epic dreams of becoming a YouTube superstar, and hopefully like other new celebs, I will be launched into semi-permanent stardom.
College is just a thing I’m doing on the side, a “back-up.” Hahahahaha.

Funny post. BBQ party but there’s no BBQ at all. Hahaha. Then you love Starbucks but you hate it’s name. Hahaha.
Crazy ambitions you have there but they’re interesting tho. Quit college, be a youtube star and eat noodles, be rich, I like that! Uhm except being an English Teacher in Korea. Hahaha.
Take care~

I desperatly have a taste for noodles now.
I think all dreams are within reach, they just take various times ^_^ nothing wrong with multiple personas,perhaps you could be the drama actress of an english teacher,who stars alongside lee dong wook and is the secret lover of Eun Hyuk. xD
anything’s possible
[Reply]
By Risa on 04.25.09 9:19 am | Permalink
Haha. You have many dreams! You also love South Korea so much! Oh you don’t love the name Starbucks? Why oh why?
Lee Dong Wook! My gaaaaaaaaahd. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. IDK why. But I’m really not fangirling that mucch. Heeh.

I haven’t been to a bookstore in a while neither have I visited Starbucks, I do enjoy their Vanilla Bean Creme with caramel.
But wow, your ambitions, not weird at all! Seems like you really want to be an English Teacher, pretty cool.

Haha, Starbucks.
For Youtube, it’s easiest to get a video camera and a few friends, and do something funny/on a regular basis. Good luck with what option you choose yourself; :3.

This line “Today we had some “Barbecue party” at the park with all the Church members. There weren’t barbecues at all.” is totally WIN. Hahahahaha! =)))
Way to go for the fun day. I seldom enter a bookstore and leave empty-handed too. Hahaha
And I hope I also have all the money in the world baby! XD
Why not be an English teacher in South Korea? That’s totally possible

Haha you have some crazy ambitions there, Chiui! Honestly I don’t have crazy careers in mind other than the boring elevator operator or cashier type of job. I guess I just love buttons a bit too much
It would be cool though to work with your dad since he earns a lot of money from it. Can you ask him if he could hire me, too? Haha 
[Reply]

Ha, there is nothing better then being ‘pleasured’ and not having to pay. (Oh, boy that sounded so… so wrong. *BRUTAL*)
You have some odd ambitions, but I guess if you like noodles and English, and of course Korea then more power to you.
I want to be a astronaut, fly to the moon, drop a shoe back to earth, and then race it and see if I can come back before it ever hits earth.
So unlikely.
We all have dreams of those sorts.
xD

it’s been a long time since my family had a bbq party. they dont have any plans too.. ugh.
you’re so hook up with Korea huh? same here. but i don’t want to be a teacher I just wanna learn to speak Korean.
and i noticed, you’re ambitions are one of a kind!
[Reply]

I’ve heard about We Need To Talk About Kevin and been thinking about reading it for quite some time now. I think anything school shooting related is very interesting.
Sounds like you’ve got your future set up for you. It’s great to have plans, weird or not. I also have unusual plans. I want to travel the world and work as a web designer while doing so.

The naughty side of me is all about quitting school and eating noodles… I’d just have to have an assortment to choose from.

“Everyone knows that when I enter a bookstore, I seldom go out empty-handed” Same here! Same here! XD That’s why my parents are SCARED every time I enter a bookstore
LOL. I filled the house with books xD
Noodles for breakfast are YUM! *,* Hehe. I don’t like the common jobs too, I like creative ones 
Too bad that a beginner freelancer is paid too little… But I’m sticking to it for now, as I need the money AND I wanna gain more experience 
The name Starbucks is weird for a coffee place indeed… Makes it look like you need ‘star bucks’ = a lot of money! to get a coffee there xD Maybe they wanted to give their place a luxury name
Wow you like everything with noodles, huh sis?
Lub ya sis *hugs*
[Reply]
By Luana on 04.27.09 12:28 am | Permalink
wow korean freak. haha. i keep on laughing everytime you say noodles. haha! me too, i wanna be rich. so that i could buy all the things i want. your ambitions are really funny. LOL.
