wednesday
finally caught up with Elvin
we went to Bob's Big Boy
bumped into Ms. Godinez
our high school math teacher
loved her
great teacher
then we wandered burbank
bumped into Vicky
interesting day
friday
i was suppose to go to the beach today with my sister & my friends
but there was a last minute change in plans
Joseph & i drive to CSUN to pick up Marianne
chill at the Northridge mall because it was hella hot
Amanda & Tommy meet up with us there
then we had dinner at Macaroni Grill
oh how i've missed it
so good
the portions seem to be smaller than before
after, we wanted to watch a movie but we couldn't decide on one
so we end up doing RedBox
it took us almost half an hour to decide on a movie
we got I love you, man
great movie
we watched it at Joseph's house
my sister picked me up afterwards
saturday
yay! finally went to the beach
i went with my sister and her bf
the water felt so good on such a hot day
we didn't stay for very long though
we headed back to burbank & met up with Pam
my sister & her bf bail on us & went home
Pam & I end up watching Ponyo
cute movie
i really liked it
my parents picked me up after the movie
we ended the night at the Gelato Bar
sunday
laundry and packing day
so of course i end up going out for lunch with the eldest, my nieces, Joseph, and Amanda
we went to Kabuki then walked around the burbank mall
then we part with Joseph & Amanda to pick up my mom from work
we run a few errands and finally arrive back at home around 5:30 ish
time to start organizing
two hours later i complain about being hungry & we leave for dinner
we hit up Thai BBQ
yummy stuff
true packing didn't start until after 9pm
i've still got so much more to do...

tuesday
woke up early
tried going back to sleep but couldn't
so i finally got around to watching High School Musical 3
i didn't like it
the first one was the best
then i watched Band Slam with Pam & Max
only did it because it was free
plus i got free fro yo from menchies
there was one really cute scene where the lead character tries to make a move on hi potential
it was super awkward
hence why i loved it
but that's about it
then i went with Pam & her coworker to get some Kogi
i'm not fond of Mexican food at all
but since i was there i tried it anyway
i got a korean bbq taco
it was alright
i ate the whole thing! haha (it was tiny though)
wednesday
the seven+1 outing today!
i met up with Carmie at Ohana where we ate dinner
we knew the guy working at the counter & he hooked it up with a free drink
sweet
then walked around the bbank town center for a little bit then headed to Hahey's house
we then made our way to The Grove to see Michelle Branch
the show started at 8 and we got to the place around 8
but the problem was that there was absolutely no parking!
all levels of the structure was full
but we continued trying to look for parking
we weren't going to miss a free Michelle Branch concert
we already knew we missed the opening act
which was Jason Castro from American Idol
it was twice that the car right in front of us got a parking spot
i was so pissed and frustrated that when it happened to us a second time i started tearing up
but as we turned a corner we spot a car leaving and immediately drove towards it & signalled
at this point, i was crying from happiness from finally getting a parking spot
we make it out of the parking structure and head towards the stage
there was a lot more people there than i thought
our other friends were already there & were situated right in the middle of the immense crowd
we tried to make it to them but to no avail
we stopped trying and just stood as close as we could get
(which wasn't very close at all. plus the steal poles obstructed our view)
after the concert, we all met up & talked for a bit
there was a line for a meet & greet with Jason Castro
the line was pretty long so i decided not to go
but as it started dying down i finally muster up the courage to stand in line
as soon as i got in line, the woman in front of me said that she was the last one
fail. haha
oh well, next time next time
then we separated
all the girls ended up together & we got hungry so we went to in-n-out
i was so happy because i've been craving it for a while now
skip to...
saturday
circle time!
Julian meets up with Pam, Max, and I at my house
then we get Menchies & gas
i end up driving to Rex's house
we get there super late because people lagged it & there was traffic on the 5 and the 10
we all finally meet up & make our way to Newport Beach
as we approached the beach, the sky got grayer and grayer
& the water was pretty darn cold
but we chilled for a bit there anyway
then we hit up Olive Garden for their endless past bowls
we then had dessert at Angela's dorm
it was a homemade pizookie
good stuff
we also played a bit of texas hold'em
i sucked at it
i'm not much of a gambler
sunday
went to church for the first time in a long time
& it was only because my mom "asked" me to go with her
then picked up my dad and had dinner at Chandara
really good thai food in Larchmont
also got a pastry from Crumbs bakery to save for another day
then i met up with Hahey
we rented Confessions Of A Shopaholic from the RedBox
our first time using it
it was really quite an epic moment haha
then we got dessert from Coldstone's & talked for a bit
went back to her place & watched the movie
love the movie
it was my second time watching it :]

monday
hit up the Topanga mall with Pam, Max, and Stephanie
discovered that there is a Red Ribbon there
& had dinner at Red Robbin
tuesday
i saw G.I. Joe with my sister and her bf
the movie was alright
haha
wednesday
my Tita Olive's bday!
we walk around The Grove & do dinner at Andre's across the street
they had large portions of pasta smothered with sauce
then we bought a lotto ticket
i hope we win
thursday
Amanda picks me up & we hit up the Downtown LA Artwalk
it whole idea seemed pretty sketch but i was determined to try something new
we arrive at Galleria Row in the heart of downtown & the streets were alive with people
we got there kinda late but we were still able to see a good amount of art pieces
the very first exhibit we saw was located within a U-haul truck
from the get go the artwalk was already shaping up to be well worth the risk
we continued to walk around and when we had our fill, we ate at Pete's Cafe & Bar located in downtown
the food was hella expensive
but it was nice eating at a new restaurant
a new business card to add to my ever growing collection
after dinner, we headed back to burbank in search of dessert
i was craving a pizookie but by the time we got there it was closed
then i wanted coldstone's but that was closed as well
so we ended up going to the crepe maker across from the AMC
we barely make it in time before it closed
our plan was to share The Madeline (crepe w/ nutella, bananas, and tiny marshmallows)
but the cook gave us an extra crepe on the house!
sweetness
although i must say, i didn't like their crepes very much
the bread thingy was crispy
i just found that super weird
friday
coldstone's craving fulfilled
saturday
dinner with Pam, Stephanie, and Natalie at Daphne's in the Marketplace
followed by a quick Starbucks run
sunday
lunch with the aunties
it was straight up Filipino
we had the big ass banana leaves set up as plates and no utensils
messy as heck but oh so good
then spent the rest of the day chillin
& left with enough food to last a few days
hit up the Topanga mall with Pam, Max, and Stephanie
discovered that there is a Red Ribbon there

friday
pam comes over and chills at the house
at night, kuya michael, ate jenny, pam, and i go to little tokyo town to do dinner
we end up eating at Daikokuya
the line was hella long as usual
while walking around, kuya finds a calbi truck
he buys four tacos
he claims that it's better than kogi
after walking around some more, we head back to the restaurant
we waited a little longer & were finally called
the noodles were good as always
we left the restaurant and called it a night
saturday
wild rivers!!!!
i get a ride to my friend ken's house in yorba linda & was surprisingly the 1st one there
so ken & i decide to go on a little adventure
we went to random stores & we got jamba :]
two hours later, the rest of the people show up
all eight of us squeeze into ken's big ass car & roll out
we finally get to the park around 2:30pm
this was my first time going to a water park since i was seven
it was a little intimidating
so we started slow
we went to the lazy river haha
after riding a few slides, i discover that i really dislike the ones where they shoot you out of the ride
and you dive feet/but first into the water
that was uncomfortable for sure
i liked the slides with the inner tubes
we spent most of our time at the monsoon lagoon
it was basically an imitation beach with wicked waves
to end the day, we relaxed in the jacuzzi
then ran to the lockers to dry off fast
we got a large locker for free too by the way
some guy handed us his locker key
saved us $12
we left the park & headed back to ken's place
his mom prepared a feast for us
there was korean bbq, spaghetti, corndogs, and corn
for dessert we had cookies, some kind of chocolate loaf, and ice cream
everyone thanked ken & his family & headed out to lex's house
we unpacked our things and settled in
we then popped in Chasing Liberty
hate mandy moore but love matthew goode
finally went to bed around 3am
sunday
we then woke up around 8:30 & ate the breakfast that lex's parents had prepared
charisma and i then head out
she kindly drops me off at the cerritos mall where i met up with my mom
we walked around the mall
i bought a necklace and my mom got a ring
we then traveled to glendale because my mom needed to pick up her new glasses
we had lunch at the food court & walked around a little more
i finally get home & just relax for a bit
then i drove to beverly hills to pick up my dad
we get home, and dad cooks steak
yay!!! haha
-i really can't stand it at home anymore... im just not happy... im definitely moving back to SD at the earliest possible move in date.
pam comes over and chills at the house
at night, kuya michael, ate jenny, pam, and i go to little tokyo town to do dinner

021
i've mostly just been chillin at home
waking up way past noon and going to bed way past midnight
watching a lot of television
mostly CSI, that 70s show, family guy, and psych
with a little bit of the discovery channel along with the travel channel
i've also started reading up on drugs
since i am going to be selling drugs in the future
i might as well get a jump on things
thursday
i went to universal city walk with the seven
we had dinner at the food court
marianne of course hooked it up with her employee discount
sweetness
we then hit up jamba juice because carmie had a coupon
we watched The Ugly Truth
it was alright
Gerard Butler's accent weirded me out
sunday
finally got to hang out with pam
it has felt like forever ago when i last saw her
she was suppose to pick me up around 4am
but she calls me at about 10am saying that she got out early
so she comes over & crashes at my house until about 1pm
jared met us at my house
as we were heading towards pam's car, a guy comes up to us asking for $6 for pesticide of some sort
pam & i claim that we don't carry cash
then jared foolishly, but kind of him, gave the man the money
the man said that he would repay him and leave the money in our mail box
the money never came
poor jared
we then drove to Versailles in Encino
i was driving & almost got into an accident
some asshole was trying to beat the yellow while i was making my left turn
luckily i swerved out of the way
surprisingly i wasn't that scared or shocked
i was pretty calm. weird
& jared kept insisting that we were saved because of karma
all because he gave the stranger $6
we finally arrive at the restaurant
the food was alright
nothing else to say about it
after lunch, we cruised venture blvd in search of dippin dots
we got lost several times
leading to a whole bunch of u-turns
we finally end up at the sherman oaks galleria where the holy grail is located
we get prime parking & head towards the food court
as we get closer we see that dippin dots is no longer there!
you can imagine the disappointment we all felt
epic fail #3 of the summer
(#1 circle camping trip & #2 the boat)
we head back to my house defeated
jared goes home
pam & i end up chillin at her house
i watched Blow while pam took a nap
we then had dinner at Taste Chicago with nancy
pam was craving dessert of some sort so we were thinking of places to go
jorden calls her & she invites him to join us
we hang out at max's subway until jordan came
we then agreed upon going to Sur La Table
but on the way, we get lost & end up heading back to downtown burbank
& get starbucks instead
another fail. haha
we then waited for max to get off & then we all went home
waking up way past noon and going to bed way past midnight

020
dang, missed a week. haha
recap of last last week:
the 16th was Carmie's & my brother's bday
the family drove out to woodland hills for his bday celebration
it was held at Maggiano's
it was a pretty nice looking Italian restaurant
and... that's pretty much it
tuesday
i had lunch at Thai BBQ with Pam & Max
Joseph calls me & we invite him to eat with us
after lunch, Pam & Max go back to Burbank
and Joseph & I go to Doug's house to pick him up
unfortunately, he wasn't home
so we ended up just chillin on his porch talking about our stresses
finally Doug gets home & we chill a little long at his place
once we were ready, we all headed over to Marianne's house
they played guitar & then we went on stumbleupon.com
that website is addicting
thursday
craving The Boat
so Pam, Max, and I head out to Rowland Heights
we pick up Rex & we drive to the restaurant only to find out that it is closed!!!
gahhh the madness
we traveled all the way to Rowland Heights for The Boat & it was freakin closed
but whatever
we ended up going to Coconut Bay
i didn't quite like what i got to be honest
but the restaurant itself was really nice
it was kinda awkward though because for the longest time, we were the only ones eating there
after lunch/dinner (it was around 4:30ish when we ate)
we hit up a nearby mall where I finally bought my grey pants
I am so happy
plus it was only about $13
such a steal
we continued to walk around the mall & when we were done
we went to Guppy's because Pam was craving the shaved ice dessert thing
im not the biggest fan
considering i don't really like fruits
but i ate some anyway
Rex was acting like my dad telling me to eat my fruits
all of a sudden, out of nowhere I start to sob up while eating a strawberry
i really don't like raw strawberries but it was no reason to cry over
i guess i was just highly emotion
lately i've been really stressed out money & debt
i think it's gotten me into a little funk
but anyways, after that embarrassing incident, we dropped Rex off at home & we headed home as well
friday
i wake up to two texts
one from Giaan & the other from Mark
apparently G was heading up to my area & they wanted to hang out
so we all meet up at the Burbank mall & eat dinner at Kabuki
G was really craving some sort of dessert & she mentioned gelato
they googled gelato places near burbank & we found one on Tujunga
it was quite the adventure trying to find that place but we finally got there
the place was called Gelato Bar & it was small but had a very homie feel
we got some yummy gelato & talked for awhile
then we called it a night
saturday
finally a beach day
everyone meets up at Jared's house & we head out
we went to Santa Monica
it was hella crowded but we still had fun
after we were done with the beach, we walked the promenade
i love the street performers, but unfortunately no one really caught me attention
we had dinner at Barney's Beanery
i loved the atmosphere and they way the place was set up
Pam & I found a couple of arcade machines & played Area 51
one of my favorite shooting games of the past
after dinner, we all called it a night & went our separate ways
sunday
Psych marathon... sweet

promenade
crepes & fries
...the usual. haha :]
wednesday
six flags with the seven+1
we had breakfast at coral cafe
half of our group was more than an hour late
i felt bad for the waitress
we got to the theme park around noon
it was hot, but it was bearable
there were virtually no lines
so we rode almost every ride in there
i liked the new terminator salvation ride
but my absolute favorite is still tatsu
as the day began winding down, we left & headed towards burbank
we hit up empire for wendy's & panda
& we ate infront of the jamba juice
after eating, we played extreme hot hands (??)
that was funny
then we called it a night
thursday
day of rest
friday
woke up super stoked for camping
we drive all the way up to lake cachuma and find out that they are full!
you can just imagine the disappointment and anguish
we were still determined to set up camp so we went to pam's friend's place in UCSB
to research other camp grounds
but everything was full
so we had to come up with a plan B
we ended up renting a room at motel 6 and hanging out with angela's cousin
jared & i were fully intent on setting up the tent inside the motel room
but as we started our mission, we soon realized that it wasn't going to work
fail number 343259876985 of the day
i've actually had quite a few fails this weekend
im not very proud. haha
a motel wasn't quite the same as camping
but it was still super nice hanging out with the circle again
& there was dippin dots!!!!!!!
we spent the night cosmic bowling
we were so cool, we even had glow sticks
once we got back to the room
almost everyone knocked out
it took me awhile to fall asleep... as usual
saturday
the wake up time was 6am
everyone woke up, but no one got out of bed
people finally started moving around 9ish 10ish
we said fairwell to the room & hit up the denny's across the street
we made a pit stop at a beach 7 walked around
we found two dead seals
& i think both were beheaded
quite disturbing i must say
& that ended our camping trip
sunday
sleep

tuesday
today is amanda's birthday!
she went to disneyland without us
boo! haha jk
today was also joel's 2 year death anniversary
so we went to mass then visited the grave site
i still can't believe that it has been 2 whole years
it's so weird
how easily life can be taken away
afterwards, we ate at shakey's
it was my first time eating there
i know... deprived much
following dinner, we had Baskin Robbins
apparently, on tuesdays a scoop of ice cream is $1
sweetness! haha
once i got home, i left with the family to watch the midnight showing of Transformers 2 at Universal
we get there & apparently my sister bought the wrong midnight showing so we ended up trading the tickets in for the 1:45 showing
totally worth it though
the movie was bomb
optimus is the boss
i got home a little before 5am & knocked out
wednesday
i hung out with pam & max all day
the plan was to paint her room
max ended up doing the work
while pam & i played on her Wii & walked her dogs
haha we are very efficient
thursday - friday
don't remember much
probably spent those days with the eldest sister
driving around and such
saturday
hung out with pam & ate jen
we hit up the burbank mall then went to the promenade
it was nice being there again during the weekend
where there was tons of live entertainment on the streets
i was immediately captured by Jim Hanft
he kinda reminded me of Glen Hansard
& Billy Joel, simply because he played the guitar and the harmonica simultaneously
he had a calming voice
& i absolutely loved his stage presence
while singing, he would go on his tippy toes
i thought that that was simply adorable
makes me feel like he really loves what he's doing
& is just so anxious to share his music with the crowd
we left santa monica to pick up max & pam dropped us off
i then asked my eldest sister if she wanted to go with me to visit my friend
she agreed & we left
it was my friend doug's mom & dad's 28th anniversary and garage sale
the event was pretty darn nice
they had servers & everything!
we ended up staying till about 1:30
sunday
slept all day...
& i have been updating my music
currently on a more folky/indie high

monday - friday
this whole week went by in a blur
i can't recall doing anything in particular
i spent A LOT of time with my the eldest sister
which was actually kind of nice
oh & she bought me my very first pair of converse
i got the classic white ones
i really like them
saturday
i went to marianne's house for a little celebration
it was her eldest sister's college graduation
& her youngest sister's sweet sixteen
it was really nice hanging out with the 7 plus 1 again
it's been awhile
& of course marianne had a moon bounce
sweet
plus the never ending amounts of food
double sweet
we played spoons, contact, improv, and mafia
i got home around 2
sunday
it's father's day!
& for the first time in awhile we actually had a plan
my mom distracted dad by taking him out all day
they went to Lawry's & we surpirsed him there
all the kids pitched in to buy him a burberry tie
that thing was hella expense! haha
but he loved it, so it was worth it
the dinner was really fun
& i love Lawry's! yummy prime rib
my food was gone in seconds
monday
i think i only got like 2 hours of sleep :/
i drove to pierce to try to crash the 9am physics class
i get there and there are atleast 30 other people trying to get into the class
major bummer
so i bounced & had lunch at the new Pho place by the movie theater
it was funny because they were playing korean music
the food was... okay i guess
not authentic Pho in my opinion
we then went to Concorde because my sister had to sign some papers
after that, since i didn't really get the class at pierce, i went to PCC
while driving, we got a little lost & there was an accident on the freeway so i was late
also, we found a dog walking around on the freeway near the fast lane
i felt so bad for the dog
i really do hope that someone saved that dog
so i get to the door of the class & i hesitate walking in
i was super embarrassed about walking in late
but i finally gathered some courage & turned the knob
but it was locked!!!!
there was a second door so i went through the whole ordeal again & bam
it too was locked
fail
so we drive back home utterly defeated
i was super tired but ate & i planned not to take any naps in order to pass out at night
so we went to the burbank mall
we were super lucky because we kept finding things for super cheap
ten dollars or less cheap
all i got was a shirt though
i don't know, i wasn't really in a shopping mood
& that concludes my week :]

tuesday
i went all the way to anaheim just to watch Up with the USD fambam
i got there SUPER late, so i only saw a bit of the movie
but then we sneaked into The Hangover
& wow
that movie was so funny
absolutely loved it
wednesday
i hit up the promenade again with pam, char, and lerma
yummy crepe
thursday
The Hangover was so good that i watched it again!
i totally forgot about the This Providence concert though :[
friday
drove my sister around
saturday
finally some circle time
ate lunch with pam at costco
then stopped by quinn's house warming
met up with jared & steph to pick up rex
then headed down to irvine for a little kickback
fun stuff!
i am so proud of myself because i didn't fall asleep
(cause i usually do)
the party ended around 1
& i got home at about 3:30 ish
i had a great time
i can't wait for round 2
sunday
i woke up at 2 & started getting ready
Dhrea, my niece, had an audition & i was the driver
the whole thing was interesting
& they said that they'll get back to the parents
while we were out, we decided to eat out
we ended up going to Manna the korean bbq place on olympic
i love that place!
it's like a buffet & you cook your own meat
the highlight of the night was when the table next to us had a birthday celebrant
they sang a techno sounding happy bday
then, all of a sudden the waiter gets on the chair behind the bday girl & uncorks 2 bottles of champagne & dumps it on the girl
everyone went crazy!
it was so funny!
the girl was laughing the whole time
damn, that was sick
after that, we watched Land Of The Lost
it was an alright movie
don't remember

monday
it's the first day of june!
yup... that's it
tuesday
sleep/eat/watch movies online//repeat
wednesday
it was my sister Marjorie's bday
she slept all day. haha
i'm not very surprised
but at night we had a type of family game time
we had special fruit punch made & played games
such as dominoes, blackjack, and uno
it was pretty chill
thursday
i woke up early to go with pam to her school to watch her singing performance
we grabbed breakfast at starbucks and mcdonalds then headed out
their singing final was pretty cool i must say
pam did a great job! :]
afterwards we grabbed lunch at wendy's then she dropped me off at home while she went to the gym
when she was done, she called me & said that there was a short pit stop she wanted me to with her to
so i jumped into the car & we end up visiting chris owen
pam called him to go with us to starbucks & he reluctantly came out
he complained about wearing flip-flops out in public
so cute. haha
we then hit up amc because pam needed to get her schedule
there were quite a few people buzzin around the place
chris & i figure out that there was a Land of The Lost Premier being held there
we spotted this guy who looked really familiar & seemed pretty important
we both truly believed that he was famous
i tried taking a picture of him but it was a fail
ohh well
we left and hit up starbucks then we dropped chris off because he didn't want to hang :[
he was tired
so pam & i went back to my house so she could shower and get ready
when she finished, we left & picked up max, her bf
then we picked up lerma
i thought it was going to be hella awkward
it was a little awkward in the beginning but as we started talking more it felt good
i missed him
i wish things were like they were back in the day
but who knows, maybe we'll be even better friends
so we all hit up santa monica (of course)
we just walk up and down the promenade and ate at the crepe place
i drove lerma home and dropped myself off
friday
i went with my mom to panorama to buy food
then i went with my sister and the kids to see her ex at the restaurant her worked at
i drove and found out he worked at a thai restaurant
our food was comp and it was a little awkward
but that's nothing im not used to
we left and decided to hit up paseo
it's been awhile since i've been there
i kinda missed it
we walked around & shopped a little
i found a dress at urban for $20
so cute! can't wait for the right occasion to wear it
saturday
so today, since my sister's friend bailed on her on going to seaworld i stepped in
i offered to drive
so me, my sister, and the kids left early in the morning
there was absolutely no traffic i got there in about two hours
seaworld was fun & it was made a little more funner by my old friend BL
haha that was quite a twist i didn't expect
we actually spent the whole day & night there
we left seaworld around 10pm
i was getting a little hungry & so were the kids
so we went to the cheesecake factory
because apparently it's open till midnight
crazyness! i did not know that! good to note
so we didn't leave SD till about midnight
i was driving back so i was a tad nervous but i knew i could do it
i tried not to speed too much
in my mind, as long as i was keeping pace with at least one other car i can't be sited for speeding
we got home around 2 & i passed out
sunday
i had lunch and dinner with the family
then i watched another movie online (star trek)
it's my goal to catch up on all the movies that i missed
so far i've seen...
wolverine
into the wild
weird science
underworld: rise of the lycans
coyote ugly
mimic & mimic 2
fight club
slumdog millionaire
i think i've made some sort of dent on my list. haha

wednesday
my swimming pool is finally clean!
so of course, i hit up the pool ASAP
then later that day i went with pam to the gym
i really don't like gyms
it's not my style
i'd rather do something active
like soccer or other such activities
we did play racquetball though
it was our first time
it was funny how bad we were
at night i helped pam with her project
shoot, it looked awesome if i do say so myself
thursday
at night, i hung out with most of the seven +1
it was so nice seeing everyone again
we had dinner at Ohana's
then we watched Angels & Demons
i liked it simply for the fact that Ewan McGregor was in it
friday
i don't think i did anything
saturday
today my friend ken threw a BBQ at his house
the only problem was that he lived all the way in Yorba Linda
which is an hour away
none of my friends lived in my area so i had to ask my mom to drop me off
kind of sad, but it was my only choice
we finally get to his place & dang!
homie lives in a nice ass neighborhood
& his house is huge!
i was so jealous!
i walked into the backyard & saw everyone again from the USD fambam
& i was so happy
it wasn't the entire family of course because most couldn't make it due to various reasons
but it felt good to see them and talk with them again
ken & his mom cooked korean BBQ, chicken, and hamburgers for us
i love ken's mom
she's so funny
& gave us lots of food
we started watching Obsessed online but midway it froze
& we decided to scratch the entire movie
we ended up playing UNO with his sister
there were 5 of us & it was down to me & ken
it was an intense game but i was victorious!
afterwards we just continued talking and before we knew it, it was past 1am
fudge! i still needed to get home
my friend drove me home
she first needed to get her other car from her home in Tustin
so it took us more than an hour to get home
i got home at about 3am
and it was weird because people were still awake at home
sunday
i slept most of the day & night
highlight of the day was watching the MTV music awards
freakin Twilight dominated the thing
i think everyone else was robbed
Twilight is overrated
athough Cam is super hot
my swimming pool is finally clean!
so of course, i hit up the pool ASAP
then later that day i went with pam to the gym

i don't think i did anything
saturday
today my friend ken threw a BBQ at his house
the only problem was that he lived all the way in Yorba Linda
which is an hour away
none of my friends lived in my area so i had to ask my mom to drop me off
kind of sad, but it was my only choice
we finally get to his place & dang!
homie lives in a nice ass neighborhood
& his house is huge!
i was so jealous!
i walked into the backyard & saw everyone again from the USD fambam
& i was so happy
it wasn't the entire family of course because most couldn't make it due to various reasons
but it felt good to see them and talk with them again
ken & his mom cooked korean BBQ, chicken, and hamburgers for us
i love ken's mom
she's so funny
& gave us lots of food
we started watching Obsessed online but midway it froze
& we decided to scratch the entire movie
we ended up playing UNO with his sister
there were 5 of us & it was down to me & ken
it was an intense game but i was victorious!
afterwards we just continued talking and before we knew it, it was past 1am
fudge! i still needed to get home
my friend drove me home
she first needed to get her other car from her home in Tustin
so it took us more than an hour to get home
i got home at about 3am
and it was weird because people were still awake at home
sunday
i slept most of the day & night
highlight of the day was watching the MTV music awards
freakin Twilight dominated the thing
i think everyone else was robbed
Twilight is overrated
athough Cam is super hot

012
so this was my last week of school
there were four more days of finals
& of course i had a final on each day
on monday was my biggest final
my bio final
seriously, that test raped me
it was that bad
usually a final is suppose to last at max 2 hours
my bio final ran almost 3 hours! gahhh!
but after that, i had lunch with my friend Katya
although she lives in west la, she's going abroad over the summer to London
i am so jealous
but anyway, later that day as i was about to start studying for my final tomorrow
my friend texts me & my roomies wondering if we wanted to do a little celebration that night
me being the responsible college student, i chose to party! haha
the night was going pretty well until i freaked out & started crying like no other in front of everyone
sooooo embarrassing, let me tell you
then i had problems walking back to my dorm
so my friend had to help me to my room
i then woke up a few hours later and talked to my roommate
i went back to bed and woke up early to study for my final
i had a logic final that day
i wasn't too worried about it
then i had to study for my music final the following day
the test wasn't that bad
i then had lunch with Charisma and my roommates
after that, me & Charisma went to a lecture in National City starring Fidel Ramos
the former president of the Philippines
he is soooo old! but he is soooo funny!
i wish he was my grandpa. haha
when i got back to my dorm i colored in my coloring book
then we had a suite dinner on campus because we are so broke
my last final was financial accounting
effff! haha
i don't feel very confident about it at all
but whatever, it's over
i was super excited to be done!
once i got back to the room i had to start packing though
it took me forever to finish packing
i seriously didn't think i had so much crap
then around 9pm the festivities began & Charisma's farewell party started
the night was amazing
great way to end the year & begin the summer
there was a luge, jollibee, and cranium involved
we all finally parted ways around 6am
i woke up the next day around 8am because i had to get ready for when my mom came over
when she arrived, we started loading my stuff into the car
before we left, the whole USD fambam came over to our room & we said our goodbyes
it makes me so sad
especially about Charisma because she's not coming back :[
so i finally left and went home
on friday, i kicked it with pam
it felt so good to hang out with her again
i can't wait to do that for the rest of the summer
on sunday, i left with my sisters for vegas
my sister's bf let me drive a part of the way there
that was cool! haha
in vegas, we basically walked around, took a bunch of pictures, ate, and drank
we played rock/paper/scissors for almost 5 hours straight
i just got back from vegas today
& i think we might do another trip in august
so exciting :]
there were four more days of finals
& of course i had a final on each day

011
let's see
monday and tuesday were the last day of classes
i still can't believe the semester is already over
i spent most of the week studying for my bio & public speaking midterm
i took a break on thursday to play a little soccer with some of the boys
we didn't actually play a game but mostly just messed around
afterwards most of us went to paloma on campus for din din
when we finished, we walked to the tram stop and waited
then some car pulls up next to us & says "it's panda!"
we were all very confused
but eventually we realized it was Francis Hoe aka Bay Area
he gave us a ride back to our dorm
we had a sudden craving for coldstone so we went
i am not a big fan of the place
but i got OREO OVERLOAD and it was amazing
wow. i love it so much. haha
we ate our ice cream in the parking lot like the cool kids that we are
after we were done, we headed back to the dorm
i was super sad though because we just missed The Office season finale
but we did end up watching 30 Rock
after that, we decided to call it a night & part ways
as we left, i stole the bag of marshmallows from the boys
suckers. haha
on friday, i had a public speaking final
i'm not too sure what to think about that test
i'm just gonna hope that i did okay. haha
after that ordeal, amanda calls me and tells me that she's almost here
she decided to drive all the way over to SD to visit me
she tells me that she was outside and i go out to meet her
i get there & i see her
then all of a sudden, three of my other friends pop out from behind a car
it was the biggest surprise
i was so happy
so it was amanda, jj, joseph, and marianne
i love these kids
& they also made me a finals care package with all these neat things
we end up eating at this random chinese restuarant
then we hit up gaslamp
then chilled back at my dorm
i really missed them
it was nice hanging out with them again
i can't wait to do that more often once summer arrives
on saturday, i continued studying for bio
that's basically it
haha, oh & i went to costco for din din
then today, my roommates and i went to balboa park
my first time there ever!
it is pretty awesome i must say
i really liked it
then we went back to our dorm to study some more
charisma then sends out a text about a USD fambam dinner at Pho
hell yeah i was down
i haven't had Pho in forever! haha
it was so good & another good break from studies
when we got back to the dorm i was fully intending to continue studying
but then i remembered that the SNL shorts were on tonight
so of course i had to watch that
it was freakin 2 hours long
haha, i had a really long study break
after the show, i studied again & now im just over it and blogging
this week is going to be horrible
four more finals... :[

010
this week was a bit stressful to say the least
on monday, my music concert review was due
it was actually kind of fun
weird right?
well it's because i was analyzing Fall Out Boy :]
they are amazing
then in my bio class, i had a quiz on an article we we're suppose to read
the quiz wasn't that bad but still
i didn't want to take it
& the discussion was boring as balls
tuesday was the last day for my club meetings
free pizza is always a plus haha
i also got my logic quiz back & wow
epic fail
i got a 1 out of 10
but she's counting it as extra credit (thank goodness)
im seriously so lost in that class right now
eff logic
i was so sad that i couldn't see mae at UCSD that night
next time next time
oh & since it was Cinco de Mayo we did a mini celebration
except we made something more akin to smoothies
on wednesday i had my final speech for my public speaking class
it was so nerve racking
i don't know, i think i'm getting progressively worse at it
on thursday, my massive financial statement analysis project was due
friday was fun
we had a girls night out
we ate dinner at wings n things
then hit up the drive-in to watch Ghosts of girlfriend's past & 17 again
i personally liked 17 again
then again, i am very biased :]
we then just kicked it at our friend's dorm
at the same time the boys had a boys night
where they cut their hair and went to barona
boys night is definitely far more dangerous haha
we end up going to bed at like 5am
i then woke up the next day at 2:30pm
my friend invites me to breakfast/lunch at their place
so of course, i go
i end up chillin there for a few hours then bounce
sean ended up coming over to hang out with amanda & i
he brought pizza because he knew we had no food
very nice of him indeed
we then had a movie night & watched Lethal Weapon
after that, we were very stoked to find out that the cable was on again
we channel surfed until SNL came on
wow, this episode was so funny!
it's been awhile since i laughed so much for SNL
after that, amanda's brother picked her up to surprise their mom in the morning
i continue channel surfing and decided to check out Sci Fi because they almost always had something interesting on
i was hooked and so was sean
the premise of the movie was stupid but it was still super scary
i haven't been this freaked out about a movie in awhile
sean of course, laughed for the majority of the time
but it was a comfort to know that he thought that it was indeed creepy
when the movie ended, it was late & sean went back to his room
leaving me in my dorm all by myself!
needless to say i was a little freaked out
i end up going on youtube to watch various SNL clips like Im on a boat & Jizz in my pants
i definitely needed the humor
i go to bed at 4am with all the lights on
then i woke up around noon to start getting ready for my parents visit
it was mother's day so my parents came down to SD
we had dim sum at Jasmine
then just went around fashion valley mall and the gaslamp district
we ended the night with dinner at Ruth's Chris
super yummy *drool*
i then get back to my dorm at around 10pm & realize that i had homework to do
crap! haha
i had an article to read and do a summary on
& another article to read for a quiz on monday
fun stuff
on monday, my music concert review was due

ughh this past week has been gross
i started off the week with a biology midterm
on tuesday i had to watch the student composer concert
it wasn't that bad
it was interesting to say the least
on wednesday i had a music quiz
i was also suppose to register for classes next semester today
but because i have a hold on my account that didn't happen
i was super sad
i don't want crappy teachers
on thursday i had a ridiculously difficult logic quiz
seriously, i had no idea what the heck i was doing
but whatever
that class is almost over, thank god
then later that day i had a financial accounting midterm
the night was fun though because we watched The Office
& played Super Smash Brothers
i dominated... not haha
we played for about 2hours straight
yup, it was that intense
on friday i was super stoked for the camping trip
the USD fambam was going into the wilderness
we went to an indian reservation camp group about an hour away from USD
the whole experience was exhilarating
we had a mini fire going and made hot dogs and roasted marshmallows
we then played truth or dare with a spin
we really learned a lot about one another
i feel we got even closer
as the night was winding down, most of us went to sleep
there was 8 of us sleeping in a 6 person tent
we actually all fit quite comfortably
when everyone started the arise, we all decide to head back to campus
so we start packing up and enjoy our last moments there
when i got back to my dorm i passed out for a couple of hours
then i ate dinner and played some more Smash with the homies
and now it's sunday
i have been doing work since i woke up
i can't wait for summer vacation

so this was the last week for intramural soccer :[
both of the teams i played for went into the playoffs but unfortunately we didn't win
we played hard, and tried our best
now i might have to start going to the gym because i lost my only source of exercise
the rest of the week dragged by very slowly
nothing particularly amazing happened
friday night was pretty darn awesome though
the USD fambam decided to go see a drive-in movie
my first drive-in EVER!
but before the show, we all went to L&L's to have dinner
the food was good as always
then we went back to our dorms to grab our blankets & such then went on our way
the place wasn't too far away & it was pretty cheap
it was only $7 for 2 movies. sweet.
we watched Observe & Report and I Love You Man
for the first movie, me & amanda sat on the trunk of the car to watch the movie
it was cool but a tad painful after a while
so after the first movie, we turned the car around & we all sat inside
i didn't really like Observe & Report
i thought it was kinda stupid
it was like a dirtier version of Paul Blart Mall Cop
i actually liked that movie better
the second movie was amazing
that was actually my second time watching it
i love that movie!
so good
paul rudd is so awkward
you can't help but fall in love with him
by far the best scene of the movie was the whole "slappin da bass mon" between Rudd and Rashida Jones
after the movies we went back to the dorms & kicked it for a little bit at Borrego
i spent saturday studying for my bio midterm
i have actually been studying all week for this midterm
sunday rolls around & i continue to study
but i got distracted as the concert started getting closer & closer
the anticipation was ridiculous
my first time seeing Dashboard Confessional
& it was only $10
heck yes! haha
they were really good
& i gotta give props to the lead singer because he can really belt out the notes & sustain them
i think my heart skipped a beat. haha
i was so sad when the concert was over
afterwards, my friends wanted to go eat din din but i passed
i don't have money to eat
i chose music over food. seriously. haha
so now im back at my dorm eating my 20 cent ramen not studying for my midterm
both of the teams i played for went into the playoffs but unfortunately we didn't win
we played hard, and tried our best
now i might have to start going to the gym because i lost my only source of exercise

interesting week i must say
so the United Front Formal was this weekend
& my friends really wanted me & my roomies to go
but i was iffy
then on tuesday Micah, my friend from FUSO
asked me to the formal
it caught me completely off guard let me tell you
i see him like a little brother
i told him i'd get back to him to think it over
from then on until wednesday i struggled with the decision
then, with the help of my roomies & Charisma, i decided to go with them instead
i felt so bad turning him down
he is such a nice guy
but life moves on
thursday was pretty normal
friday finally came & i was nervous as balls because i had a persuasive speech to give for my public speaking class
i personally don't think i did too well, but i hope i got a decent grade nonetheless
i did a mini freak out when i found out my cell phone wasn't working
i never knew how dependent i was on my cell phone as a means of connecting me with people
but finally my phone starts working again
it was a dreadful 12 hours of my life! haha
friday night was pretty chill though
i just watched tv & played online games (nerdy i know)
then my other roommate Blanca came home & we watched Twilight
wow.
the one word i would use to sum up that movie is: awkward
hahaha oh man, & i thought it was pretty darn funny
so saturday rolls around & we're all excited/nervous
before the formal, we all head over to G's place for a little pre-gaming & picture taking
during the drive over to the Hilton, G tells me that Sean texted me friday night about the formal
& that they all thought i was a snob or something
my heart sank
i felt so terrible
no wonder he was acting awkward around me
stupid cell phone, horrible timing
i wanted to make amends so i made up my mind to apologize to him & to explain myself
it was a lot harder than i thought
i was hella nervous, but i finally did it & he forgave me & said it was cool
& that he knew that i wouldn't intentionally not respond
after clearing the air, i could truly start dancing & partying & such
it was awesome because they played Journey's Don't Stop Believin
the USD fambam linked together & started singing out loud
it was so much fun
after the dance, we went to the after party at Ria's house
which was literally across the street from school
so we all just walked to the house
the party was fun & we left around 3am
most people called it a night & went to bed
but Sean, Charisma, V, Amanda, & i were still wired & ended up chilling in the courtyards of the vista
we then decided to play Dirty Minds back at my dorm
honestly the game wasn't as fun as i thought it would be
i lost of course :[ haha
we finally called it a night at about 6am
crazy, we were awake for the sunrise haha
the weirdest thing was that i woke up at 11am
wtf?!?!?!
5 hours of sleep???? why???? haha stupid body
last night we were talking about hitting up the beach today so i send the mass text
& we end up going to The Jetty
the weather was perfect! it was warm & windy
it was crazy traffic driving to the beach but when it came time to park, there were tons of free spaces
weird. haha
we basically all just laid out
im not really good at it because i get antsy & fidgety
& i feel like i need to be doing something
once it started getting colder we packed up our stuff & left
we were actually at the beach for about 2 hours!
it really didn't feel like 2 hours at all
we get back to the dorms at almost 6pm
so now i should really be doing homework but i don't want to
i refuse! haha
so the United Front Formal was this weekend
& my friends really wanted me & my roomies to go
but i was iffy
then on tuesday Micah, my friend from FUSO
asked me to the formal
it caught me completely off guard let me tell you
i see him like a little brother
i told him i'd get back to him to think it over
from then on until wednesday i struggled with the decision
then, with the help of my roomies & Charisma, i decided to go with them instead
i felt so bad turning him down
he is such a nice guy
but life moves on
thursday was pretty normal
friday finally came & i was nervous as balls because i had a persuasive speech to give for my public speaking class
i personally don't think i did too well, but i hope i got a decent grade nonetheless
i did a mini freak out when i found out my cell phone wasn't working
i never knew how dependent i was on my cell phone as a means of connecting me with people
but finally my phone starts working again
it was a dreadful 12 hours of my life! haha
friday night was pretty chill though
i just watched tv & played online games (nerdy i know)
then my other roommate Blanca came home & we watched Twilight
wow.
the one word i would use to sum up that movie is: awkward
hahaha oh man, & i thought it was pretty darn funny
so saturday rolls around & we're all excited/nervous
before the formal, we all head over to G's place for a little pre-gaming & picture taking
during the drive over to the Hilton, G tells me that Sean texted me friday night about the formal
& that they all thought i was a snob or something
my heart sank
i felt so terrible
no wonder he was acting awkward around me
stupid cell phone, horrible timing
i wanted to make amends so i made up my mind to apologize to him & to explain myself
it was a lot harder than i thought
i was hella nervous, but i finally did it & he forgave me & said it was cool
& that he knew that i wouldn't intentionally not respond
after clearing the air, i could truly start dancing & partying & such
it was awesome because they played Journey's Don't Stop Believin
the USD fambam linked together & started singing out loud
it was so much fun
after the dance, we went to the after party at Ria's house
which was literally across the street from school
so we all just walked to the house
the party was fun & we left around 3am
most people called it a night & went to bed
but Sean, Charisma, V, Amanda, & i were still wired & ended up chilling in the courtyards of the vista
we then decided to play Dirty Minds back at my dorm
honestly the game wasn't as fun as i thought it would be
i lost of course :[ haha
we finally called it a night at about 6am
crazy, we were awake for the sunrise haha
the weirdest thing was that i woke up at 11am
wtf?!?!?!
5 hours of sleep???? why???? haha stupid body
last night we were talking about hitting up the beach today so i send the mass text
& we end up going to The Jetty
the weather was perfect! it was warm & windy
it was crazy traffic driving to the beach but when it came time to park, there were tons of free spaces
weird. haha
we basically all just laid out
im not really good at it because i get antsy & fidgety
& i feel like i need to be doing something
once it started getting colder we packed up our stuff & left
we were actually at the beach for about 2 hours!
it really didn't feel like 2 hours at all
we get back to the dorms at almost 6pm
so now i should really be doing homework but i don't want to
i refuse! haha

006
I only had 3 days of class before Easter break
& my music class was once again cancelled for this week
so happy :]
i started off my Easter break with I Love You Man
great movie
& what made it even more interesting is that we played a little game where we drank our juice every time someone says "i love you man," "dude," "date," or a made up word
twas fun indeed
i went back home the following day on thursday via amtrak
i hung out with the family
friday was basically the same as thursday
i just chilled with the family
i had lunch with my mom, sis, and her bf at kabuki
i bumped into Gary which was cool
because i haven't seen him in such a long time
then the whole fambam went to The Boiling Crab in Alhambra
the wait was about an hour and a half
but it was completely worth it
we had shrimp, crab legs, and crayfish
there were no utensils and no plates
we had to get down and dirty
i loved it
i would most definitely go back again
on saturday i got my haircut
i was planning on simply getting my bangs back & trimming the ends
but the guy cut it a lot shorter than i expected
but it's all good in the hood because i really like it
i had jollibee for lunch & then met up with pam
we then met up with jared, steph, and angela at the galleria
pam & i then split off from them to watch Hannah Montana
gahh horrible movie
i wouldn't say it's THE WORST MOVIE
but i would definitely put it in the top 5
after the movie we went to paseo for our friend's bday dinner at vokcano
there were a lot of people there we didn't even know
the birthday girl was almost 2 hours late
we couldn't stay to eat because we promised we would meet up for Jared's bday dinner at Buca de Beppo in Huntington
so we wished her happy birthday then bounced
we arrived at Huntington and met up with everyone
it was so good seeing everybody again
i love how it feels like we just pick up right where we left off
it feels like nothing has really changed
as the night came to an end we all went our different ways
pam was tired from driving all day so she let me drive
i was so excited
this was probably the longest drive for me
i did okay, everyone survived haha
on sunday i went to dim sum with the fambam
then we tried going to the Santa Anita mall but it was closed
lame
so we just went to the Jamba Juice by our house
it was nice just sitting outside and chilling
for din din we went to Black Angus because i really wanted prime rib
i spent monday getting ready to go back to SD
i got back at about 6pm & had dinner at L&L's
i have not done anything academically productive over Easter break... oh well
i can't believe there is only 6 weeks of school left
then i'll be a junior. wow. crazyness.
& my music class was once again cancelled for this week
so happy :]
i started off my Easter break with I Love You Man

so on tuesday
there was a Sophomore Career Day thing during dead hours
i only went because i get extra credit for my financial accounting class
the speakers were alright
i am kinda inspired to become an accountant
because it just seems so practical
& doesn't involve science
which i am currently struggling with
i still haven't officially declared myself a Biology major
later that day, i had an accounting midterm
i most probably bombed it but whatever
life moves on
nothing else worth mentioning happened for the rest of the week
on friday i just chilled with the homies
saturday was the big day
bamboozle left!
i was so stoked
the event was a lot bigger than i thought
twas crazy
when me & my friend katya arrived we saw Forever the Sickest Kids
they were pretty good
i was pretty bummed though that i seriously just missed The Cab
but it's okay
i met up with jared & steph after the performance
& we kinda got separated from katya and her homies
we went to see The Friday Night Boys
i really wanted to hear That What She Said but they didn't play it :[
then again, we did leave a tad early to see We The Kings
i really liked them
then we checked out Hey Monday
it was alright, not my favorite
then we saw Care Bears on Fire
soooo weird because they look like they're pre-teens
they sound like they could have sang the Teen Titans opening song
we then headed over to hear Every Avenue
since their stage was right next to the stage where The Scene Aesthetic were going to be at
i stood by that stage instead
i wanted to get as close as possible to them
then they finally come on stage
i freaked
this is my first time seeing them live
they are soooo cute
there was about a 15 minute delay because there was technical difficulties where we couldn't hear Andrew's guitar
but soon things were remedied & they started there show
they sound better than their CD i think
they did a cover for Love Story by Taylor Swift
soo good
& of course they ended with Beauty in the Breakdown
after they're performance i stayed behind to stalk Andrew
after about 10 minutes i finally got my chance to talk to him
i praised him for his stellar performance & took a picture with him
he then gave me a hug & as i was walking away
he tells me that i smell good!
omg! that is the single greatest compliment i have ever gotten so far
i was extremely giddy from then on
then i went to find Eric who was chillin by the merch table
i took a picture with him & also complimented his performance
he also gave me a hug
i love The Scene Aesthetic
they are so down to earth & nice to boot
i then make my way to see All Time Low
i text katya but she never responded so i was by myself for a little bit
i wasn't scared but i did feel a little lame standing by myself
but after All Time Low i found katya & stood with her & her homies
we decided not to move anywhere so as not to lose our spot for Fall Out Boy
we saw Cobra Starship, Metro Station, and The Get Up Kids from our spot
i was so sore from standing up all day, it's ridiculous
& wherever i went, the air was filled with the smell of weed or cigarettes
it was pretty interesting
anyway, finally Fall Out Boy comes out & everybody goes crazy
they are freakin sweet
then sadly, the performance was over & everyone started leaving
so we make our way to our car & leave for SD
we get back around 1:00am
& katya complains that she can't walk so we sit in her car for about half an hour
i decided to take pictures during this time
then i finally persuade her to leave the car by mentioning that we race there
so she gets out of the car & starts running towards her room
i really didn't think that she would take me up on the challenge
so i run after her holding her stuff
she gets to her room and crashes on her bed
i make sure everything is good with her & then i left for my room
i too crashed once i got to my bed
twas a good sleep
then today i woke up around noon & ate ramen for lunch (typical)
me & my roommates then decided to hit the beach
that was nice
the weather was just lovely
overall good weekend
i can't wait for easter break which begins this wednesday
i am so stoked :]

004
my week was fairly normal
except for the fact that my music class was canceled on wednesday & friday
meaning that i got an extra hour of sleep! yay!
on friday i had my second bio midterm
i don't think i did so well :[
recently i've been on a nature high
i've been watching Planet Earth
which is amazing by the way
& on a different spectrum i've also been watching Sci-Fi
it's corny but i like it
sometimes it's so bad that you just can't change the channel
now on to this past weekend
it had it's ups and it most definitely had its downs
friday, after classes we go to the house of blues to buy tickets for ARTTM
we get there & the lady says that it is SOLD OUT!
wtf?! i was so pissed & sad all at the same time
so as a little pick me up we when to Ghiradelli's & had some icecream
then later that night, we celebrated my friend Joe's 20th birthday
it was fun & i know the birthday boy had fun
although im sure he doesn't quite remember everything that happened. haha
then on saturday Ken invited me & amanda over to his place to have breakfast/lunch
it was an all out buffet!
he cooked spam, vienna, eggs, hash browns, and rice
twas very delicious indeed
then we all went to the beach
it has been awhile since i've been to the beach so it was a very nice change of pace
we laid out for a little bit then more of our friends came
we played volleyball for a bit then hit the water
the water was so cold but felt so good
we left the beach a bit later then i had expected
i was suppose to go to the PCN early to help out
i was 45 minutes late
but no one really noticed so i was off the hook
the PCN was good
made me cry on more than just one occassion
gabe bondoc, leejay abucayan, and passion performed for the pre-show
im in love with gabe! :]
during intermission, Ken calls Sean to bring us some apple juice
good call on ken's part
we then decided to go to the after party in Chula Vista
some of the homies pre-gamed it then we headed out around 12:30am
we blasted random music like Aqua's Barbie Girl. haha
we get the house & it's pretty nice.
we we're inside for like 10 minutes when Velinda says that she wants to go outside
i join her because i sense there was more to going outside then just getting air
once outside she starts bawling
so we sit on the sidewalk & i try to calm her down
the things she told me were extremely intense
i didn't really know how to respond
we moved our convo to the car because it was cold outside
i don't know how to help her
i wish i knew what to do
all im kinda good at is making people laugh or at making awkward;y funny situations
i want to be there for her & support her in her struggles
while in the car, she falls asleep & just when i though things were calming down Amanda calls me
she says that she has reached her limit & that she was heading towards the car
naturally, she forgets where we parked so i went out to meet her
i find her & she was completely gone
i sat her down inside the car & a few minutes later she opens the car door & expels the contents of that night
that went on for a while & then she calmed down & closed the door relaxing a bit
then my other friends came to the car & we all left around 3:00am
while driving, Charisma starts acting up as well
forcing us to pull over at some random place
Kyle really needed to pee & tried going to Walgreens & CVS
but niether of them were open
so he tried looking for a spot to pee
he walks down this shady ass street & we start getting worried
so, while still in the car, we follow the path Kyle took
we see a shady guy walk away from the street he came from
so we naturally start getting nervous
we go down the street & there is no sign of him
we decided to go back to where we were in case he went back
& as we make our way back, there he was standing in the parking lot waiting for us
he tells us that he walked past the church & peed in a corner
but he hears someone near him so he stops mid-stream
then when he felt the coast was clear, he finished
so funny
we all thought he got shanked or something
then we headed to Santana's because we were all hungry
okay... i was hungry
we get there & park the car
the two girls from earlier immediately start up again
then a cop passes by & asks us if we were okay
we replied that we were alright
then he asked if we had a DD
we said yes
& as the cop was going to drive off, Ken walks in front of his car & almost got hit
it was so funny
would have laughed harder if we weren't also scared about the possibility of getting in trouble
we go inside & i get a quesadilla (typical)
then we drive back to campus
we get back at around 4:30am
Amanda knocks out once we get back
& Velinda & i eat our food & chat for a little bit longer
i end up going to bed at 6am
i woke up at 3pm the next day
& didn't do anything productive
now it's moday, & it sucked so bad
music class was boring as heck
then i started feeling really down in the dumps because of what happened saturday night
when im not keeping my mind busy, & there is a problem, the problem tends to occupy my full attention
& i get extremely sad
i get to bio & it helped to keep my mind off my roommate situation
in public speaking we had a pop quiz
failed it
& he starts talking about the next speech
i swear we just finished the last one
gahhh so frustrating
i just feel like everything around me is crumbling as i try to keep things from toppling over
& at the same time i just don't feel like i have enough strength to do what i have to
my optimism is fading as the constant negativity begins consuming my thoughts
i truly pray for the strength to help the people i love
except for the fact that my music class was canceled on wednesday & friday
meaning that i got an extra hour of sleep! yay!
on friday i had my second bio midterm

woops.
i missed a week. haha
well, last week was my spring break
twas tons of fun
although i did spend most of my days actually doing school work
weird right?
i had fun catching up with friends
i miss them so much
it sucks that we have to be about 130 miles apart
well, on saturday, i went with pam to the San Andreas Fault
that was really fun
the landscape was beautiful
i am on a natural landscape photography high
after the fault, pam & i met up with Jared, Steph, and Angela
to head over to California Adventure
it was my first time there EVER
so much fun
then it was the end of my break
my parents took me back to SD on sunday
something horrible happened that day
i was putting my hotpockets away when my parents spotted something they shouldn't have
let's just say, things will be a lot more awkward from now on
but the good part was that we ate at Ruth's Cris
which has amazing steak & mashed potatoes
nothing interesting happened monday
tuesday was st. patrick's day
me & my roommates had a st. patrick's day fiesta in our room
probably not such a good idea considering i had a music midterm the next morning
but it was okay because i got a B
then i had a logic midterm on thursday
& to finish out the week i had my public speaking speech on friday
i was hella nervous
but as i was speaking i felt the stress dissipate and i feel like i did an okay job
so as to celebrate the end of a stressful week i decided to unwind a little
i went to the Berma Benefit down in the Valley
supporting the talent of my fellow USD students
after the show, ken & sean were having a little get together in celebration of our first soccer win
we tried watcing Role Models but people were being too loud
on saturday, my roomies and i went to a baseball game
it was USD v. Brown
it was my first ever baseball game
it was interesting. haha
not really my kind of sport
now it's sunday
which means time to do work. haha
i did a little homework and then got distracted by various things
so here i am writing in my blog
until next time :]
i missed a week. haha
well, last week was my spring break
twas tons of fun
although i did spend most of my days actually doing school work
weird right?
i had fun catching up with friends
i miss them so much
it sucks that we have to be about 130 miles apart
well, on saturday, i went with pam to the San Andreas Fault
that was really fun
the landscape was beautiful
i am on a natural landscape photography high
after the fault, pam & i met up with Jared, Steph, and Angela
to head over to California Adventure
it was my first time there EVER
so much fun
then it was the end of my break
my parents took me back to SD on sunday
something horrible happened that day
i was putting my hotpockets away when my parents spotted something they shouldn't have
let's just say, things will be a lot more awkward from now on
but the good part was that we ate at Ruth's Cris
which has amazing steak & mashed potatoes
nothing interesting happened monday
tuesday was st. patrick's day
me & my roommates had a st. patrick's day fiesta in our room
probably not such a good idea considering i had a music midterm the next morning
but it was okay because i got a B
then i had a logic midterm on thursday
& to finish out the week i had my public speaking speech on friday
i was hella nervous
but as i was speaking i felt the stress dissipate and i feel like i did an okay job
so as to celebrate the end of a stressful week i decided to unwind a little
i went to the Berma Benefit down in the Valley
supporting the talent of my fellow USD students
after the show, ken & sean were having a little get together in celebration of our first soccer win
we tried watcing Role Models but people were being too loud
on saturday, my roomies and i went to a baseball game
it was USD v. Brown
it was my first ever baseball game
it was interesting. haha
not really my kind of sport
now it's sunday
which means time to do work. haha
i did a little homework and then got distracted by various things
so here i am writing in my blog
until next time :]

002
this has been a pretty good week
i can't really remember what happened monday or tuesday
so i shall start with wednesday
one of THE best wednesdays of my life
my biology teacher handed back our exams from the previous week
she claimed that the average of the class was a 75
& that the highest score was a 97
when i got my exam back i was so nervous
but then i turned the page to see my score
& i got a freakin 97! woot woot!
do you know how ecstatic i was?
that was an epic moment
so after that class i had public speaking
i actually had a midterm in that class
but i walked in with my friend Katya with a big smile on my face
but my face changed a tad as i started the exam
not too bad, but also not too easy
then i was done for the day
i was headed back to my dorm when i bumped into my friend Joey
we ended up eating at L&L's Hawaiian Restaurant
my first time ever!
it was pretty good, if i do say so myself
then i just went back to my dorm & watched tv
while i was watching family guy
my friend Ria texted asking if i wanted to watch Grease that night
i couldn't help but jump at the opportunity
also, the tickets were free :]
so me & Charisma get ready & head to the Civic Theatre for the musical
the venue was nice
although it does pale in comparison to Pantages
Grease was so different from the movie
the songs weren't in the same order
& it was so much dirtier then what i remember
there was thrusting, crude gestures, & sexual innuendos all over the place
i loved it. haha
although i felt a little uncomfortable because the audience consisted of the elders and children
i ended the night with animal crackers & creme puffs
thursday was exciting television wise
me, my roomies, & charisma decided to make a night of it & ordered pizza
a new episode of The Office came out
then came 30 Rock
which is so funny
oh tina fey & alec baldwin
classic
then at 10pm was the final for America's Best Dance Crew
i was all for Quest Crew
i mean, Beat Freaks were good...
but they were no match for the choreography of Quest Crew
so finally friday came
the last day of classes before spring break
i only had 2 classes that day (as opposed to my usual 3 classes)
after my final class i walked with Ken to his car
& he then drove us back to the dorms
yes, i admit, we are lazy bums
but also he had an excuse
he was leaving for Paris that day!
i am so excited for him
he's traveling to the other side of the world
& all by himself!
that's legit. hahaha
after saying farewell to him, i headed back to my room to eat lunch & start packing
my mom picked me up around 5pm-ish
we didn't get back home till around 9pm
we had dinner in Chinatown at Phoenix Inn
good food & we're friends with the people there. haha
i passed out when i got home
food coma + 3 hour car trip = death
saturday was awesome
i kicked it with the bestest & angela
we went to Venice Beach
it was so crowded
it was ridiculous
after venice we went to santa monica promenade
we walked around & ate crepes & french fries
we then dropped Angela off at home & hit up target in glendale
we met up with Carmie, Doug, & Joseph
they wanted to eat so they decided to go to IHOP
pam & i visited Joel at his starbucks then met up with the others at IHOP again
when they finished their dinner, the boys left & we dropped Carmie off at home
on the way to my house, pam calls her friend
& we decide to visit them since they live so close to my house
it was cool because i got to see 2 of my old friends from Providence
then i went home & knocked out
now it's sunday & it's spring forward
i woke up at noon
then i went with my sister to Pantages Theatre to try to get RENT tickets
there was a whole bunch of people & they were only raffling about 26 tickets
we unfortunately didn't get it
but that's okay, we had a plan B
my sister, Pam, & i went to LACMA to see classical performers
Angela was the one who told us about it
it was actually pretty cool
although we were kinda late (as usual haha)
after the performance, we decided to go check out the museum
you know, while we were there
the place is so beautiful
i love museums
after the museum closed, Angela went home & we went to Islands to eat din din
after din din, my sister & i met up with our parents at starbucks
we walked around downtown burbank for a bit then went home
spring break seems to be going great so far :]
i can't really remember what happened monday or tuesday
so i shall start with wednesday
one of THE best wednesdays of my life

001
this week went by pretty darn fast
nothing really happened on monday
on tuesday i got my Rx For Success shirt
so now i can represent for pre-pharm! woot woot! haha
then on wednesday i went to a bio review session
but me & my friend Ken ditched out 20 minutes into it...
to go to church! haha
we got the ashes on our foreheads then rushed back to the review session
on thursday i had a logic quiz which i don't think i did too well on :[
then on friday i had my first bio midterm
i totally i kicked that exams ass!
after classes on friday i hung out with my friend Katya
we went to target & i bought Wall-E along with some animal crackers :]
then we went back to her dorm (which is right below mine)
& we watched a few episodes of Roswell
after that i went back to my room & ate cereal for din din
me & my roommates then headed over to Ken's dorm for a little kickback
Maria's sister was in town visiting & Maria's boyfriend was suppose to come over for the first time
but Maria & her sister bailed & went back to her dorm
we went over to Ken's around 9pm & almost everyone was already buzzed
haha they started way early
i didn't drink much
just beer & a couple of shots of various things
but once again i ended up on the floor haha
nothing new there
me & my roommates went back to our room around 2
& i knocked out once i hit my bed
then some idiot calls me at 6:20am
& miraculously i answer the phone
the guy just kept saying hello so i just hung up & went back to sleep
i finally awoke at noon & ate some ramen :]
me & my roomies then pregamed it before the big USD v. Gonzaga basketball game
it kinda helped during the game but the game was still kinda slow
plus there was this hella annoying chick right in front of us who kept dancing & doing other stupid shit
so that didn't help at all
so we unfortunately lost to gonzaga
me & my roomies then went to Olive Garden for dinner
the waiter was super cute so that was nice
then Ken called asking us where we were at
cause i guess they were having another kickback
so after din din we headed over to Ken's dorm
& we immediately took a ladies shot
that was my only shot of the night
but i did have quite a lot of beer
we played flip-cup
& king's cup
once again, i have no such luck with king's cup
i got the last king :[
in the cup was a mix of beer & wine
which in my opinion wasn't even that bad
although it did take me a while to finish it because it was HUGE
the rest of the night was spent just relaxing while watching tv
our one friend was soooo funny
because he was a very touchy drunk
& he didn't discriminate girls from guys haha
me & my roomies went back to our room at about 3:30am
once again i knocked out & i woke up at almost 2pm! wtf! haha
i haven't waken up past 12 in such a long time
it was weird
so this was my week
& now i should be doing homework :[

the start of someting new
hi friends! :]
you get to read about my many tangents & rants
aren't you lucky? haha jk
so this week at school was really good
never thought i would ever say that
my 9am music classes for wednesday & friday were cancelled
meaning that i started those days at 10:10am
sweet
then my 10:45am logic class on thursday was cancelled
meaning that i started that day at 2:30pm
even sweeter
i actually had a financial accounting midterm on thursday
& i got an A on it!
i am so thrilled
for about 5 minutes i seriously considered becoming an accountant
but those thoughts were quickly dashed as i realized that i suck at math
then i considered becoming a journalist or columnist
lately i've actually been reading the newspaper
shocking i know
i'm going to try to make it a daily habit to read the news
wish me luck!
