Cars

Gah this car thing is so lame and stressful...Why can't cars be cheaper...life would be a lot easier. ugh.

I have homework and work tomorrow, gah how do people work and go to school at the same time, I'd go completely insane. Tomorrow at least is my fun day :) english and sociology :D yeah. and I get out early, always a plus. sorry for the lameness and shortness and boringness of this post...i'm just feeling kinda lame now...

New Template :D

Whooo new template! The other one was getting a bit dark for me...I really like this layout and the fonts :) so WHOOT LoL Homework stinks, but it is a necessary evil. Tons of reading :( bah eventually the words just begin to swirl in my head..oi. uhm English and Sociology are great...math kinda sucks, but the teacher seems kinda funny and this chick that sits next to me seems cool, psych. well justin is quite entertaining, but I can't say the same for the instructor. As justin said, "you could take a piece of plywood, stick a happy face on it, and it'd have more personality than this lady"....too true, too true...

The radio in the volvo broke today waaaaaaaah. I think it's a connector thingie to the antenna, cause it'll work sometimes, and then suddenly go out, but then the display and everything in the radio works fine..bah that sucks

Uhm, went to L&L's today, kicked it with Kyle, didn't do much, tried looking for my old yearbook, still not to be found LoL i'm pretty good at placing things I don't want to find...so good even I forget...heh heh, irritated a canadian, and got groomed LoL [finally finished my project, I am not an aborter]
and...uhm. I drove on the freeway for the first time in a while LoL since like the beginning of August, I don't drive many places...I wasn't used to going 75....ahem I mean 65 of course I never go past 65mph....65mph the legal speed limit LoL

cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese. [I wish I had more time :'( ]

booooooredome.

yeah, I got home at like 12:10 after dinner and hanging out at chrissy's house...LoL throwing peanut shells on the floor is just so bizarre. uhm. yeahhhhh LoL it was a good dinner, but the service was kinda sucky... uhm yeah. work was hot and long...it stunk :( and made me stink LoL

I'm so bored right now (and full...too full to sleep baah) I'll just write random stuff....
I like jam better than peanut butter.
I like chewy bread/cookies better than crunchy.

this is a lame list...i should stop soon.
I still want to see Whale Rider
I had hiccups earlier, laughing way too much lol
I want a caramel apple....

...with a little help from my friends...

Gah I got through my first "week" lol of "college" week is in quotes because i only have school from mon-thu and 9-noon so they're short anyways and college is in quotes because...it's chabot. Met cool new people, new chick in math class from castro valley, super cool, which is good because I'm sure I'm gonna need a study buddy for that class...

Go wednesday! I needed Chrissy's ultimate knowledge in folding cranes and so I went over and it happened that Janice and Kyle were coming over 15mins. later anyways. :) So yes we all hung out. Uhm, watched music videos manga manga'd on Chrissy's ultimate food :D I had to go pick up my Mom at BART but then I came back and yes we had some super great stir fry with seafood and fresh veggies :D We did watch BASEketball...uhm. not exactly the movie for me LoL...uhm..."Bring your Own Chicken Day"? LoL lessee, we just kinda ate and hung out and then Chrissy went to church and I had to go home to do homewooooork baaaaaah.

Homework isn't so bad, but it involves SO much freaking reading! read chapter 1, chapter 3 and then these 3 essays...bah! oh well they give enough time to do it. I've found that reading in the car is a good place, nice and quiet, and I have to get there early to get a good parking space anyways LoL. sometimes I fall asleep though...no bueno LoL. a bit too comfy LoL :)

If you need anything, go to chrissy!

So I guess I should start off with my plan...and then how things really went...LoL oi. this morning has been quite eventful wow.

Plan:

• Have alarm go off at 5:55AM to give me five-ten minutes to roll around in bed and wake up
• Get dressed, eat breakfast get ready etc...
• Leave the house at 7:10AM
• Get to school by 7:35AM so I can find parking (I heard it was absolutely horrible, and then wait in line to get into the bookstore)
• Get my books, drop the ones I don't need off and then get ready to go to class

Reality:

• When checking that alarm clock is set, accidently turn it off instead so I wake up at 7:22AM ...freak out.
• Brush my teeth, throw on a pair of pant and shirt (forgetting sweatshirt and proceed to nearly freeze)
• Super quick double check making sure I have paperwork I need
• Grab muffin throw it in backpack
• Run out the door, into the car and the zoom off to school
• Luckily there was parking and thank goodness! I bought my parking permit earlier so I didn't have to wait in the super long line for the daily one. (luckily I caught a lot of green lights so I got there at like 7:50am)
• Dump my backpack into those mini lockers, find my books wait in the fairly long line, but I quickly got my books so I was in line at 8:00AM
• I get there and they don't accept debit cards, I would have had to go to the atm and it charges me bah. stupidos. so I went back out and got my checkbook, I started filling out the crap and then he tells me I need this W# (it's like an ID number, but before i was using my SSN and it worked fine for everything else) bah so I write the check out and all that crap and then he says if I don't have that number I can't use a check, so I have to go to the ATM withdraw the money...and bah. so I finally just pay in cash. [it's more depressing to have to hand the actual cash over :( ] my books were 319.02 more than I get in one pay check :'(
• I got finished at 8:20 so I had enough time to go to my car and drop off the books that I didn't need today.

Overall it could have gone a heck of a lot worse. i.e. I could have gotten up at like 8:45 instead of 7:20...wow. that would have super sucked. really. and at least there was still parking and they had all my books. so yeah I think the morning was okay LoL

My classes today weren't too bad, my first two teachers seem pretty cool. At least they're not dull and they don't drone. Everyone that said it's like high school all over again...uhm lied. I don't think it's like school at all, it's more like separate classes. I dunno LoL it just doesn't feel like school. I like it :D mainly cause the classes are no more than an hour and 15 and NO BELLS! Whoo! and the teacher lets you out whenever she's done. that's super great. I dunno it seems okay, but I haven't been to math yet :'( i HATE MATH! aaaaaah. L-A-M-E (whenever things seem okay in the beginning it tends to get worse, and things that are really bad get easier...i have a bad preception of how hard things are/will be LoL)

so overall? first day of school not bad. (except people smoke EVERWHERE :( bleck) and I get out at 11:45 :D

The summer's all in bloom
The summer is ending soon

It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses

Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love and we all got hurt

-white houses by vanessa carlton

I don't want to go back to school.
This has been the greatest summer ever. (well maybe not ever, but as far as I can remember this has been the greatest summer. :D Chrissy's house was the official headquarters of the bumming. Rightfully so. her house is the freaking greatest!!!!!!!!! she's got a massive bed, always tons of food, super duper comfy couches :D dang...there's heaven down the block! LoL :D of course we can't forget the most important part of chrissy's house....CHRISSY DUH! and all the people her orange aura draws in :D the buff stuff ms. Jaaaaanice, the sexay ms. maria, elisa..(sorry got no title for her) LoL, the dorky/nerdy/weird. mr. T and ...well I guess me too LoL :D but yes. her house is freaking great.. and it is, and will ALWAYS be...crackalackin'.

I've just had so many good days :D like super good days*. and of course my birthday, and bennay's birthday, and our trip to carmel WHOOT. and just like so maaaaaany good memories *sniff sniff* I hate for them to stop. but I guess things come and go, and you just have to appreciate what you've got while you have it...and I think because of previous experience, I do :) well, maybe I could appreciate them more...but dangit. i think I really am. I know i've got some good stuff. and memories no one could steal away from me. Growing up has its ups and downs, and I've done the down stuff, the lonely hermit stuff, this kinda feels like a reward :) I've got the greatest friends in the world (who've proven that time and time and time and time again ;) , and I may not deserve them, but I'm holding on while I can. :) ...in conclusion....chrissy has the greatest puns, janice has the super buffness (and supportiveness and the kindness, and the strength [figuratively/metaphorically and literally] ), Maria just has the freaking sexayness that we can all admire, and Kyle's got the nerdyness, wit and all knowingness....Tiff (working hard this summer...or hardly working? hmmmmm? LoL) has the just freaking greatness in organization, and humor :D, and optmisim. Al, who may have not been a HQ a lot, but has still made the whole summer a lot better (go "Without a Paddle" ) :D and seeing spiderman 2...okay so it wasn't super great, but james franco was worth it :D) her and her randomness and comic greatness :D I don't even know what this is...besides a super long runon paragraph, but I guess a thank you? I dunno. but if not. hey. thank you anyways :D This summer would have been seriously sucky without you. sniff sniff. I'll still be here...never moving away...and leaving forevur. If you ever get bored. yes. estoy aquí. adiooooooos. alooooooooha.

*Coffee, Joe Coffee might have had some slight power usage in those days. muahahaha. wow that made total nonsense. but go randomness! [talk 2 me] muahahahahaa.

yes.

you can stop now...

I said bye...

In different languages...

wow I haven't done one of these in a while...

okay I shall leave...

until I'm back again...

which will probably be soon...

SOMBRERO...CHEESE...FELT...FLOAATY...TEPID....and da woooooooosh.

bah, I'm learning to use the phone....it's a scary thing, and it likes to make my ear sore. I'm finally actually seeing how long my phone battery will last....LoL not too long actually, it sorta surprised me. I should learn how to hang up earlier because....i got 2.5 hr. of sleep then had to wake up and drive mom to work. got 3 hrs. of sleep and then went to work. bah. oh well.

private posts shall ne'er be read by foreign eyes!!!! even if bases and or rabbits are mentioned ;)

Sorry for the randomness of this post, as you can kinda see, i got very little sleep! Work doesn't suck as much as last year, but the paycheck is certainly a lot smaller. no bueno.

talk 2 me.

This Is Your Life
Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes,
This is your life.
And today is all you've got now.
And today is all you'll ever have.
Don't close your eyes.
(chorus)
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything that you dreamed
That it would be when the world was younger,
And you had everything to lose?
Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over.
(chorus)
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?

Take the jump.

Wow this trip was so fun :) It was so nice to get away for a little while :D

We started off early bah! ><>Super duper mad great driving skills got us through safe and sound :) We arrived at Monterey at 10:00am :) We walked around the various shops and such, there was a shop with random antique-ish stuff and there were a couple of machines things LoL like there was one of a slot machine that spits out coins that had monterey on it and a small picture pretty cool (regardless if you get a combo or not :D ) and there was also a machine that you squeezed the handle and it had various qualities about a person, Kyle took it and it said "naughty" hm...LoL...just hm...we got a few laughs out of that. Charlie had fun in the candy store and bought a lot of taffy's :) uhm....Oh then as we were walking by one of the shops there was a restaurant giving out free samples of their clam chowdah (us, being asian, we snached them up :D ) but they were actually really really good, so it was nearly lunch time and we decided to eat there :) Kyle, Chrissy, Janice and I all had the same thing, (clam chowdah in a breadbowl), Charlie had fruit and clam chowdah, tiff had calimari, benny had a chicken sandwich. We didn't eat in the section with the view, but the restaurant was still in a location with lots of windows that we could look out and get a cheap view :D

Then we went to the beach :) None of us went full dive in, but we all kinda a waded as the tide went in and out, everything there is by meters so we only stayed for an hour an 15 minutes. That was enough :) it was kinda chilly, but at least the sun was out and all bright. :)

After that, we went to go check out the hotel, it was really new and the rooms were nice and clean :) It would have been nice to stay an extra night, but oh well ;( We all kinda mooshed in one room anyways for most of the time. It was a bit bizarre though, the mirror and sink were outside of the bathroom, but it was all good, the toilets had like SUPER flushing ability LoL...:)

So once we dumped our stuff off, we decided to go shopping and the shopping center was called the "Del Monte Shopping Center" but is conviently not located on delmonte road/street/whatever LoL So we stopped by a holiday inn and asked for directions, and shortly after, we arrived at the open air mall. Since it was a sunday, most of the stores closed at 5ish but some of the big ones closed at 6 or 7. Tiffany, Chrissy and I all bought stuff from the Gap (WHOO go $7 shirt :D) and Janice bought stuff from victoria secret (sexy stuff for the buff!) and the guys went to EB games and Waldenbooks (what neeeeeerds :D ) They were having fun with their math and logical game books LoL we hung out there until closing and then Lunch was big so we didn't really want dinner then and there so we went back to the hotel.

Then we brought out the Cranium :D LoL that is the greatest game ever. As usual, the girls won :D whoot!!! Go Chrissy for her cameo/humdingers (leave it to beaver!), Go Janice for her drawings and freaking great spelling abilities, Go Tiffany for her overall greatness and especially in the data head parts. Anyways as usual we also had a wager, that whoever lost would have to go get dinner. :D The boys went out and got jack-in-the-box and we cleaned up. The jack-in-the-box pannido which was really good :) We watched some of the olympics, (mens swimming and womens gymastics) yeah, so we kinda just hung out and were really boring LoL :D

Tiff was really tired after a day of driving and stuff so at midnight, her and benny went up to the other room and got some sleep, the rest of us just hung out and picked on charlie LoL cause dang that's fun and easy :) LoL I think at like 12:45 or one ish, we kinda started winding down and got ready to go to sleep LoL per usual Chrissy was the first one out LoL :D The rest of us mostly slept by 4:00am :D but gah, for those of you who don't know, if it doesn't say on the package, "caffene free" then midol had caffene in it LoL I didn't realize this, until I was wide awake at 5:00am and then 6:45 and 7:30am LoL...it kinda sucked...i was just like...totally up. it was bizarre. when most of us got up, we turned on the tv and watched the end of Austin Powers Goldmember. And by that time it was like 9:45 so we got ready to pack up and make sure we didn't leave anything since check out time was 11:00am We cleaned out, and then went to Denny's for breakfast.

Then we headed out to the 17 Mile Drive and omg. there were just SO many rich people there! we used the restrooms at one of the resorts there and in that parking lot there were so many ferrarri's, lamborghinis, roles royces! omg. it was just WOW. along the drive, there were so many "houses" i put houses in quotes because some of them were more like mansions! it's just OMG! it was amazing how much wealth some people have. We stopped at a small lighthouse, and walked through it, it was kinda cool. We made a couple of stops on the road, but for the most part, we just drove by and admired from the car. Then at the end we went to Carmel but the weather was kinda sucky and really overcast near sprinkling at times. We just went into all the small shops and stuff, some of us bought candy at this candy import store. (Mia if you're reading this, me and my friend bought a pack of smarties...uhm yeah they're just M&M's with a harder shell...it wasn't exactly worth it for a $2.00 box of M&M's LoL)

After shopping and stuff, we needed to go back anyways, so we headed out of Carmel and started home, charlie bought the game "rush hour" so they were playing that in the car, we tried one of them, but it was hard, so we decided to forget it and sleep LoL, then we stopped at Applebee's for dinner in gilroy. I had a half sized oriental chicken salad which was perfect since I wasn't that hungry really. :D yeah, so then after we went shopping, I didn't buy anything, but they went into the gap and the billabong outlet, and claire's...yeah...then we left at like 8 something, and we got back to SL at 9:45 or something, and I got back home at 10...overall this was a super great trip :D super duper. LoL :) it definitely should be a tradition :D

Today was a kick back day, I woke up showahed, went to pick up chrizzy, :D

She hung out at my house for the day, which is now much more fun since I got a second controller for my xbox :D and thanks to Kyle, I have a game to play it with :D OOH! AND!!!!!!!! another UBER UBER UBER COOL feature, is if you copy music from a cd onto the xbox hard drive, you can play it during the game! so you can have your own selection playing :D we put the yellowcard cd on, and then selected tracks from the spidy 2 sdtk and switchfoot. :D so freaking cool :D there were also songs already on there that are pretty cool "WU-HA"! by The Dude LoL :D

And then we went to see the Princess Diaries 2 at Bayfair. It was a pretty good movie, I liked both of them a lot actually :) This second one had a lot more random parts in it, seriously hecka random. LoL but still funny :)
Kyle was working so he popped his head in and out for a bit :)

We spend quite a while at Target too, I got these SPF lipsmackers thing, it came with a stretchy band and stuff so I can hook it to my bag or purse :) quite convienent :D yay! only $2 not so bad :) and then I bought a bottle of green nail polish, i wanna see how it looks soon yay :) uhm yeah and then I took chrissy home, and I got home at 9-ish. Ooh also at Target, we also bumped into joey, finsen, jeffery and daniel :) they were looking for bikes for the campus yeah :) go exercising! whoot! :D LoL

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWZA. super wowza.

Let's see okay. Friday we went to Waterworld to celebrate my birthday :D WHOOT! A whole buttload of people came :D and it wouldn't have been the same without them (Tiffany, Benny, Kyle, Chrissy, Janice, Justin, Charlie, Phillip, Finsen, Joey, Robin, Theresa, Jeffery, Elisa, Daniel)
It was a pretty relaxed day, we went on a couple of rides, (gah the waterslides that you don't have the tubes give MAJOR wedgies bah) Spent tons of time in the lazy pool which was super duper friggin frigid, and just kinda hung out. I drove! WHOOT. Super-Duper-Better-Than-A-GPS-System Kyle navigated me and yes everyone got there in one piece LoL I think...:D

We went to Claim Jumpers for dinner with their super duper portions :D and pretty good food, my sandwich was okay....it was "honey chicken" .....I thought it would be a honey sauce, and not just literally honey and chicken LoL but it was still tasty :D

Saturday I went to work that really sucked. I was sick still, and then saturdays' are our busiest days and I felt so miesrable at work It was so hot, and I was running around...:( I just wanted to go home. I got off at 5:30 and then it took me a half hour to drive back home, and the I had to quickly shower and change so I could go to dinner for Benny's Birthday. Elisa came at around 6:30 and then we went to SF, we got to Embarcadero at like 6:50 ish not bad timing, but we weren't sure about the parking and all and exactly how far it was, so we saw parking at pier 27 and we stopped there. mistake. BIG MISTAKE. We looked like insane crazy persons running down sidewalk in flip flops and she was in a skirt oi vey. We started at 27 and it turns out that the restaurant was past 43. (they go by odd numbers, but it was still a really long walk) We got there at 7:35 but it was okay since Tiff said it took about a half hour to get the tables together. Justin, Charlie and Phillip all came late since charlie and phil were in stanford, then they had to pick up justin. Anyways, Joe's Crab Shack, is like a super loud restauruant and they make you do embarrassing things on your birthday, so Benny wouldn't do it by himself and I wouldn't do it by myself, but together, we made complete asses of ourselves LoL. We ran around the restaurant flapping take out boxes like wings LoL it was hilarous :D and I had tons of fun... :D

We then went to Tiff's house to open presents and benny got lots of cool stuff (including a paper pickle from meeeee) :D and yeah....

Sunday I was still sick and wiped from the weekend, so I decided to let elisa go in for me at work, she wanted the hours anyways, so I got to sleep in a little more, and then my mom and sister went to San Francisco to visit my grandparents and my sister drove, so the volvo was here. I got bored, and hungout with Kyle, we suck at thinking of places to go, i.e. that is not my house and that is not his house, so being sponanious, a lightening bolt struck me and I suggested we go to tapioca express, we really didn't want to go back to our houses, and the bummage house (i.e. chrissy's cause yes we DO BUM there) wasn't picking up, so we stuck around tapioca express for like a hour. watching baseball. yes. baseball. I REALLY do not like baseball and here is why.

So we get there, and it was on, it was already at the 12th inning when we got there, so we sat down, and I didn't have really much to say LoL so I was actually watching for a little bit, and then I get on my soap box about how NOTHING happens in baseball, a prime example that day. We sat for the next hour watching NOTHING happen in the game gah it was like the 16th or 17th inning and STILL it was 3-3 nothing happened, I was quite peeved that nothing was happening but i still wanted to wait until something did, but chrissy called back, so we bummed at her house and by the time we got there, the game ended and it was the 18th inning (oakland A's won 6-5 over the Minnesota twins) bah. Okay and then yeah janice came over and we bummed until 10 and yeah. :D

Monday actual birthday WHOOT! I slept in a bit, and then I got up at like 10am to go to work since Danielle made me and Erika (another girl at work whose birthday is the same day) a cake :D So I hung out there and they lit up candles and I got to make a wish, Danielle made some super good cake. gah even though it was chocolate, it was like caramel and had heath candy bar on top :D it was super good.

Then I hung out with Chrissy at her house, and we made some super duper good spaghetti and sausage, and salad and garlic bread yummah! and we watched some tv, Made where that girl goes to school with a buncha super cute guys OMG wow. LoL

That night I went to dinner with my family at Mr. Fongs yummy :D and then my cousin got me this lemon mousse cake and my mom got a loards strawberry ice cream cake :D yummy! :D so yeah, I got a book of maps from my cousin LoL and an anklet from my aunt and other cool stuff from my family members :D

Quote of the Moment

"Twinkle Twinkle little bat, how I wonder where you're at"

...I know it may not sound funny, but it's more one of those you have to be there things, more so be there with chrissy and janice LoL :D

I was actually productive today *GASP* SHOCKER! I got up at like 9-ish ..couldn't go back to sleep :( bah. but I showahed :D and then went to Target, I found my sister her birthday gift...uhm only a week late *oops* but yah...and I got the last Maria Mena cd WHOOT! go me. it's a REAAAAAAALLY good cd, and then i'm gonna go to chrissy's later. but the CD is super good SUUUUUUPERB. I had the most unhealthy lunch like EVER. do as I say not as I do, but I had a Sourdough grilled cheese (cheddar) and bacon sandwich. with a cup of noodles LoL...bah, multitasking is no bueno, Elisa called while I was attempting to make the grilled cheese part and I was like trying to flip the sandwich and trying to comprehend what she was saying (which is difficult without thinking 'bout the sandiwch LoL) and talking on the phone and yes. multi tasking while cooking is NO BUENO LoL
