I don't know where the time went but David and I just celebrated our 6th year anniversary on 9/22/07 this past weekend. It seems not so long ago when he decided to visit me for the first time in San Diego back in 2001. And needless to say, the rest is history. Over the years, he hasn't failed to continuously try to impress me. This year, he planned a surprise trip for us to go to Vegas and see the Beatles Love show in Mirage. You guys may not know it, but this is a huge sacrifice for him. He's always been against musicals and Cirque Du Soleil type shows but he knows how much I enjoy them. ^_^ To make it extra special, he bought second row seats for us... I felt like I was practically part of the performance. And, what a spectacular performance! Cirque Du Soleil did such an amazing job incorporating artistic/acrobatic performance into timeless musical pieces from the Beatles collection. All I can say is that it'll definitely blow your mind away! Even David walked away impressed. What a memorable 6th year anniversary it was honey!

Gosh, it took me 1/2 a year before my last entry and now another 1/2 year has passed. Is this a sign of aging or a sign of laziness? I think, a little bit of both. Most important though, I think it's simply because I don't feel like there's enough excitement in my life for me to blog about. But who cares? This is a place that I can write freely and pretend that people are reading....even though most likely there probably aren't any readers left...haha. So this is what happened to me since my last entry:

1) Graduated from pharmacy school - yipee!!!!!!!!!! thanks all of you who came out and made the day extra special for me. check out my graduation photos on www.photos.dtwang.net.

2) Moved out to West Los Angeles (only 10 min biking distance to Santa Monica Pier)

3) Started residency in VA West Los Angeles

I gotta say, I had no idea what I was missing until I moved out to west LA. It is so nice here! I'm blocks away from great shopping places and there's an endless variety of good-great food! And oh, the weather is always excellent! Throughout the whole summer, there was only 1 weekend that I had to turn on the AC. Yeah, now I understand why LA dwellers would rather pay so much more to live in such small quarters and deal with horrendous traffic than move anywhere else! I don't need a big mansion with lots of land, I think I can deal with small condos and hours of traffic just to stay here. ^_^

Now, all I'm waiting for is to get my pharmacist license...the wait seriously seems like forever! I took the tests already so wish me luck!

It's been almost 1/2 a year since I've posted on my own blog. I've been overwhelmed the last few months doing 4th year rotations (pharmacy students have to work in different pharmacy practice settings during their 4th year clerkships-they are called rotations and each rotation lasts 6 weeks), applying for residency, and playing on XBOX 360! Yes, I'm truly addicted to XBOX 360. Sad to admit though, I only play two games: (1) Lumines Live, and (2) Texas Hold'em. Now, Lumines Live is like an advanced Tetris, an all-time fav of mine. And with Texas Hold'em, well, even though I am no professional gambler, I really enjoy playing a little poker and chatting with online friends at the same time. :)

I've side-tracked a little, but back to this blog. I just want to share with all of you that I've been accepted into the residency program offered at VA greater LA area. The main hospital is on Wilshire Blvd in Westwood by Beverly Hills. What an awesome place to be! And more, one of their other hospitals is where Grey's Anatomy is shot! I guess that now I really have to start watching the show and find out the deal about Mr. McDreamy.

Having said all that, I'm ready to finally graduate in May of 2007! No more finals ever!

I busted Bonnie snacking on the roses that David got me a while ago.

A few weekends ago David and I went down to San Diego to visit some old friends. I got to meet up with my Salk Institute lab buddy, Eetsin, and David met up with his old elementary school friend, Eddie, whom he hasn't seen for over a decade. It was so nice to finally be able to take a break from things and catch up with old friends. I did realize though on this trip down that I forgot how nice San Diego was. I was already getting used to living up in Loma Linda but after visiting SD, I realized what a big difference the two places are. Sigh........
