here kitty kitty

in japanese lecture today, we learned about qualifying/modifying sentences. i'm not sure, i wasn't paying too close attention. one example sugamoto-sensei had was: "the cat which someone threw away." us kids in front all went "ooooh no..." it made me think about the cat that someone threw away and found her way to my house. she now resides in the backyards of the houses on delta avenue with her kittens.

thrown away kitty
takes refuge in my garage
from nightmarish world.

hello stranger

whenever i'm on campus, i never see anyone i know. i know i don't have very many friends but my facebook says i have at least 80 that go to ucla. i guess 80 out of the million that go here isn't a high percentage at all. i miss seeing familiar faces or someone to wave to. maybe i should start smiling at random people.

what are the chances
of finding you on campus
just to say hello?

lost and have yet to be found

four years ago, i was a very different girl. there's the obvious: i was 16, in high school, without a care in the world and i loved knowing that there's nothing that could hurt me. now, i don't even know where i am or who i've become. maybe i've become that same naive girl again.

i am in search of
something i lost long ago.
where could it be?


*i'm sorry that this post doesn't make much sense.

it's been a long, long day

it's not even 5 in the afternoon yet but i'm le tired. as usual, i'm spending my time at work writing this haiku and updating. i'll stay later than what i'm scheduled for to make up for it... yeah, sure. anyhow, i can't wait to go home.

thoughts of my soft bed
and of you holding me close
helps me through the day.

i'm hunger

i know that i should be eating three meals a day but sometimes, there's just no time to stop and eat a full, healthy meal. there's always homework to be turned in, lecture that can't be missed, or work that i can't be late for one more time. all i have is one minute for lunch because ten minutes is not nearly enough time to walk from melnitz to life science, so the vending machine is looking pretty good to my growling stomach.

peanut m&m's
does not suffice as a meal
but i think it will.
