ACK SUPER SORRY!

sorry, I was so delusional by the time I got down to wednesday, I was really losing it LoL so I totally forgot to enter the most wonderful time (which totally escaped my mind cause...my mind is like swiss cheese..has tons of holes) and so discretely brought up by the beautiful maria :D

OMG YOU HELLA OMITTED THE PART WHERE YOU WENT TO MARIA'S HOUSE AND MET PEACH AND RYOGA AND OPENED YOUR PRESENT AND NEMO SAID EYRR AND THEN GOT CRAPPED ON BY HER BIRDS AND WENT IN HER BACKYARD TO SEE THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS AND CHILL ON THE SWINGING SLEEPONABLE CHAIR AND ATE KEY LIME PIE AND PLAYED AT THE PLAY GROUND!!!

I am so sorry I forgot to add that part in, cause it was like the bestest part. so yes after lunch (I knew we did something...and it didn't take us 4 hours to eat lunch LoL) but yes we went to Maria's beautiful house. :) and we partied hard with her beautiful birdies! one of which crapped on me, and the other crapped on chrissy...and they were loud and chattin' it up with each other LoL :) And then I opened my gift from Maria, super all well thoughtout and planned and with the spork and Orlando Bloom magnet and piggie bank for our girls night out :D :D :D and the mommy card :( and the Nemo EYRR awesomemost wrapping paper :D and then we went up to her room and she showed us all these awesome pictures of her in Germany :D and then Maria let us into her super cool super landscaped lovely backyard with her awesome swingy chair, and then fed us key lime pie :D and then we trekked to the park and swung and went on slides and OMG DUDE. I FINALLY KNOW WHAT THOSE TWIRLY POLE THINGS ARE FOR!!!! I am super idiot though cause like everyone else knew except for me. LoL :( but they are fun :) and then we walked farther to the second park where we went on these spinny things and went super fast in circles and got TOTALLY dizzy and then we walked back to maria's house and we saw her cool water dispenser and ate CHEESE! and then we went back to chrissy's house and stuff etc...


and I'm so TERRIBLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY sorry that I forgot to put it in the first time :( sorry! :( I beg for forgivness! but now you have a special post! :D YAY!

and just as a side note on msn today I saw that the college that I plan to go to maybe, is ranked by The Princeton Review as the #9 "Reefer Madness" school. heh heh heh. oh boy...

Click here to see the rest of the lists UCSC is on and click the title of the post to see if your school makes any lists! LoL eh poop, those links make you sign in...oh well...sign in/up if you wanna LoL

but yes I really am super sorry things just tend to seriously flow out of my head, and it was a super memorable day...and I have these great pictures taken by maria :D and my family loves the one posted on the fridge, whenever anyone opens the fridge they all laugh...they laugh at me...but they laugh none the less eh? LoL :) so yes. IT'S LATE and I need to go to sleep now, and I have chem in the morning and then math in the afternoon and then physics lab late in the afternoon until 4:20..."Reefer madness" heh heh heh. and so I gotta SLEEP :'(

I've done a buttload of stuff

Okay so I left off at Saturday? of last week...right. Well Sunday I took off of volunteering cause I was dead tired and I didn't wake up until NOON WHOOO! :D I mostly slept and did general nondescript stuff.

8/15 Monday: so yeah my sister and mom went to the A's game [with fireworks that we heard from our campsite]. and they won or something, so anyways, every ticket from that game is worth one free personal pan pizza. :) so I went with my sister to get some free munchies...I forgot what else I did, but that may have been it LoL OH yeah and also I went to the school bookstore to have an aneurism over how expensive my chem and math book was. Chem is still expensive :( gah $150 and it's new and in a bundle so I can't find it online and there are no used ones GAH! but THANK YOU CHARLIE who will never read this cause he never goes on line but yes I am jacking his book and saving 130 dollars WHOO :D

8/16 Tuesday not real interesting besides the fact that I went to the eye dr. ...which kinda sucked cause I just wanted to sit in my PJ's in my bed all day. but oh well such is life. Although news is good and I do not have to get a stronger prescription for my glasses, which is the first time ever since I've been going there since like...8th grade. Anywhoo so yeah, that's good news :)

8/17 Wednesday The magnificant Chrissy got her driver's license and so she drove Janice, Kyle, Maria and I to the Sandwitchery where we all had lunch together :) Yesh, I had a BLT. why do I pay for those things I can so make one myself that is just as good...LoL oh well it was tasty there too. We had some good conversation during lunch too, a lot revolving around how maria's mom is the master rapper. and items on the "to do list" :D Then Chrissy had to go home [I honestly can't remember if we did anything in between LoL so I have a sucky memory, but yeah] So she drove home and Kyle drove maria, janice and I to pick up pictures at Wolf Camera in san lorenzo. The pictures looked so good :D maria is awesome

8/18 Thursday ...secret planning for "Project Maria" but it involved a buttload of walking, and no more knocking of my toe-covers, they are awesome and prevent blistering. but I did not have them, so I blistered. :( and it also involved a lot of SCREW SOUTHLAND. cause IT SUCKS

8/19 Friday I went to Napa Valley with my aunt and my sister. We went there to go eat lunch at this restaurant called "Mustards" and they've got the most awesome pork chop ever. my aunt ordered it and I got their halibut, which was PERFECTLY done, and that's a major feat since halibut is SUPER lean so it over cooks SO fast :( but there it was really well done :) and they had good bread too :D

Then we went to the CIA [Culinary Institute of America NOT the Central Intelligence Agency] just to see if they had any dinner reservations open , we didn't expect them to cause it's a really popular place and stuff, but actually they did, it was a little early at 5:30...but eh we took it anyways :) Then we walked around the gift shop and there's a little display area and they have these MASSIVE like 8 foot high vintage wine barrels and old school corkscrews and stuff. And there was also a gift shop where they had a bunch of cooking tools and books and stuff, and I bought part of Charlie's and Janice's gift there :D hee hee :) Just when you think you've seen everything, ...there's something else. :)

Then off to DEAN & DELUCA I was excited :D I bought a t-shirt and a mug :D and some tea to go in the mug of course! and my sister bought a 4 pound pound-cake. ugh. LoL it was tasty though. So yeah, after walking through and looking at all the gourmet stuff there, we left to go to the Napa Valley outlets. They are sad. :( it's just one like building area [as opposed to the vacaville or gilroy ones which are like 4 building areas], and it only took us and hour to go through all the stores. ...so yeah, we drove right back cause throughout the valley there is like ONE ROAD 2 lanes, and that' about it. so if someone goes slow, EVERYONE goes slow. :( so we left early to get to the restaurant on time. We did and so we got olives and bread quite good :) good stuff. Then my aunt ordered clams and my sister ordered this Asian crab melon salad for starters :) they were both really good :) for our main course I got this brick roasted chicken. which was SO GOOD. it was so juicy and tender and tasty, OMG. super good, it was like half a chicken, and I only ate a drumstick LoL I was still kinda full from lunch :) but yeah, my sisiter got seared scallops :) which was really good :) and my aunt got skirt steak, and it was really good too, marinated just enough and not stringy and tough like it normally is :) for dessert we ordered a chocolate molten lava cake, it's one of those cakes where you cut it open and the inside oozes OMG. I've never had one before, but even though I don't like chocolate it was good. The carmel sauce on top was like super duper too. :D

On the way home, we got a little lost because aparently that day they JUST opened a new onramp..with no signs saying what it was gah, so we ended up going into vallejo and a sobriety test, ugh. the line was hella long and inefficient, but on the up side, I did get to view "Bud's Burgers" made famous by maria :D LoL most awesome! I was so slow too, cause I was just reading random signs, we were rolling at a snails pace past it and I was like huh..."Bud's 'Gigantic' Burgers" and then my aunt mentioned the Goldielocks by it and i was like "OMG BUD'S AND GOLDIELOCKS THAT'S THE BUD'S BURGERS!" lol but maria that place looked SO GREAZY! :( LoL :) and tasty!
so that was my crazy friday.

8/20 Saturday not much happened, but I had to go get my books for Monday :( boo. I took my mom's car cause it was parked behind mine :( but DOOD! aparently on saturday's chabot has this fleamarket thingie and i.e. NO PARKING. they take up the whole main lot and so I had to park way in the cuts and walk so far YECH! oh well, I bought my chem book but they didn't have the lab manual :( oh well I bought it later on monday anyways. I also made a side stop by Target cause that was the last day of their weekly sale and that week the Killers CD Limited Edition CD was on sale for 9.98 :D yay for sales! I'm so glad I held out LoL but no more buying stuff, I spent 30 dollars at Dean and Delucas and then I got 2 cd's for gifts LoL I need no more stuff LoL

spent the rest of the day chilling and relaxing being a bum. LoL that night though Tiff and Benny came by and dropped off my gift :D which is the set of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books which I have zipped half way through the first one already :D you guys are awesome! we had a good chat and found out what was in my downstairs cabinets LoL which included Backstreet Boys and random posessed birds and dogs that don't hop. LoL

8/21 Sunday: I went back to volunteering at the zoo and overall it was apretty dull day LoL Although I did see James Keith! who works there and so we had a little chat in the morning :) and we went our ways, then later OMG the siamang apes...well they went ape. LoL they were "singing" it was SO BIZARRE! they were like a hairy black ape version of the blue man group! three of them, one of them was doing this low bass throaty noise, one was hooting and the other was hollering. it was so crazy LoL :) and LOUD I could feel my ears like pounding inside that little nighthouse, if the walls weren't made of cement, they would have been pulsating LoL, it was such a surreal experince. :D very cool moment of the day.

8/22 Monday: first day of school...again, It didn't even feel like it cause I just got out of summer school. ugh. LoL :( but yeah, It was a good morning, I got there at 8 and still got a decent spot :) I met up with Maria and we found Elisa and Lawrence and then Charlie came too I even saw Michelle for a bit :) then I found my two other friends from Chem 31 and math and I saw with them in the Chem 1A class :) I hope all goes will in there! and then our teacher was on her way back from India? but will be there tomorrow, anywhoo so there was no class besides signing the roll sheet LoL :) then I got to chat with Judie for an hour and 15 minutes :)

Math is good, boy that instructor writes fast...but she seems really nice and seems to know her stuff, and has lots of office hours which are good :)

Physics, well if anything else the instructor knows his stuff and he seems randomly funny...I even talked to people I didn't know, which is like a huge step for my anti-social self LoL I hope that class goes well...

Overall, instructors seem alright...and I don't have class everday like I did summer so hopefully it won't be intense as that, and also I don't have 2 or 3 hour lectures WHOO! :D hopefully that'll make things better too. I just hope my book gets here, I don't another book drama LoL that will be no bueno...now I think my hands will fall off from typing so much so I shall stop here. seeing as how it's 7:45 and I started this at 6:45. LOL

Camping/Frickin Bee weekend :)

Thursday Whew Final went alright, still really frusterated that the final was only on about 20% of what we learned in the course so I studied and completely stressed out over nothing. Anywhoo, I finished it and went to pick up Benny's birthday gift and then went home to rush pack, which I luckily did not forget anything there. Packing for the trip as a whole, however we did forget to pack cups :( Charlie, Johanna, Benny, Tiffany, Chrissy, Maria and Jyun came over at 3:00pm ish and then we started to load up the cars. Poor Tiffany accidently left her keys at the bottom of the trunk in my car, but we didn't realize it until we were about to leave and she didn't have her keys! :( But we found them, and all was good LoL :)

The campsite was a walk-on only so we had to carry all of our stuff :( It was a lot of stuff. it was about maybe a quarter of a third of a mile? the sites were good size, two was enough to fit 8 people :) We had Maria's bistek for dinner :D with bread we ate like cavemen (heh heh Geico commercials) sans forks SORRY! :( but the food was awesome :) and we also had s'mores that night yum :D I forgot how WONDERFUL roasted marshmellows tasted :D

We slept...gah who knows when LoL 1 or 2? by the bathrooms we saw 2 adult deer and a baby deer on the hill :) it was pretty cool!

Friday We had bacon and eggs and dry toast for breakfast yummy! mmmmmm! Then we played with waterballoons and water guns. The weather was perfect it was a bit on the warmer side, but a breeze went by every so often so it wasn't too bad :) and we just drenched Charlie LoL. We played that game where you toss the waterbaloons back and forth and everytime you do, you take one step back. I was doing alright with Charlie and then I caught it and it popped right on me LoL but it was alright, it was so warm the cool water was welcome :) Chrissy and I became experts on waterbaloon filling :)

Then Johanna, Charlie, Benny, Maria and I played card games and stuff. Tiffany, Benny and Chrissy then left to go to church and the rest of us played a game of Scrabble. It was my first game where we actually kept score and I got a 93? or something, which was bizarre cause I kept on having these tiny lame words with the letters landing in the double letter spots or double word spots hence the reason for my points LoL

That night there was this *BOOM BOOM BOOMBOOMBOOM* sound going on at about 9:30pm or so...and it sounded ....not good. LoL and so Jyun and I went to look out, and then it occured to me it sounded a LOT like fireworks...and then I remembered the Oakland A's game was a fireworks game that night (I knew only cause I was supposed to go) and so we were just hearing the fireworks from that. but before that it was acutally quite creepy LoL

Tiffany, Benny and Chrissy went on a run to the store after their church and brought back some more ice and this drink called Fuze :) cause it is in an awesome bottle and is really nutrious :) awesome! we hung around the fire for a bit longer and then went to bed 2-ish. We started out with 4 sleeping tents, but since mine was so big, tiffany and benny roomed with us the last night and packed up their stuff early so there would be one less tent and stuff to carry back up.

Saturday, Morning Tiffany and Chrissy got up at 7am as planned and Benny and I slept in a bit later until 7:30 or 8am. :D We got up, ate breakfast and started to clean up and got packed up and ready to go.
This time hauling all the stuff on the way back up, we used my revelation (which came during our last trip to bring stuff down) to put all the stuff on a tarp and have all of us carry the tarp. Which worked but it was really heavy but we made a lot more stuff in one trip, and carried all of the stuff in 2 trips! :) but this time there was no wood, no charcoal, no duraflame and a lot less food LoL

Saturday, Afternoon So we met up with Kyle and Janice at Tiffany's house at about 11am and we took sorted out Tiffany's stuff and some people cleaned up too. We decided to go to the Metreon, and Bucca di Beppo for lunch. We took BART to SF and then walked to the Metreon and at lunch first. Bucca di Beppo is an Italian family styled restaurant with a bunch of pictures on the wall :) LoL there are TONS of pictures and stuff on the wall and it's pretty cool. enter and there's the bar and hostess stand and then you go downstairs to eat :) We had a dish of tortaloni, chicken alfredo type of thing and a macaroni rosa, it was all very good, and then for Benny and my birthday, they brought out a small candelabra and 2 brownies with 2 GIANT scoops of ice cream, one vanilla and one spumoni :) Then we walked around the Metreon a bit, but there really isn't much to do there besides shop and stuff, so then we left and went back to Chrissy's house for a bit to hang out.

I said I wanted to go to some place with loud music LoL Kinda randomly cause we were in this Sony store that sold speakers and stuff and so there was loud music kinda already going on and stuff, and then Janice had the most wonderful idea of going midnight bowling :D

At Chrissy's house I kinda went on the internet a bit and then we started playing point and click games :D SUPER fun, more fun with logical people who like those games LoL :D WHOO and we were doing those for quite a while and then we started to make dinner. We never used the spam and the rest of the eggs, so for dinner we had spam and eggs :D I made overeasy eggs and spam :) over rice BEST FRIGGIN DINNER EVER. then we played more point and click games and left to go to the bowling alley at 10:30 or so to make sure we would get 2 lanes :D

It was an awesome deal $13 includes shoe rental and unlimited games from 11:00pm-2:00am :D and we made good use of it :D Tiffany and Benny couldn't make it, but Elisa came YAY! and we bowled until 2am :D it was fun and I was doing alright until the end when I was kickin ass and takin names :D until it struck 2am, and I was going in to my last frame with a 136 and I had two more chances and then they turned the lights out and I got so sad I couldn't finish GAH I REALLY wanted to know what I would have gotten but ugh. I guess not. it was super fun, gah I got home at like 3AM and totally crashed LoL and I woke up today at noon WHOO
It was a lot of fun this weekend :)

Yesterday :D

WHEW. yesterday was a long day...My mom and my sister and I went out to San Francisco and were all touristy LoL

We took BART to powell st. station and then got to the top and I got to ride a cable car for the first time :D dude. it was so awesome. It was so cool! I didn't hang off the side though, I could have...but me being me, I just sat LoL. It was bizarre though cause if cars are double parked in the street you really have to be careful you don't get knocked off! geez. but yeah it was fun going up and down the hills :D awesome views!

Then we got off at the far end of Fisherman's Wharf and we walked around some of the shops there, there wasn't much to do so we started to walk down to Ghirardelli Square there were a ton of cool shops there :) a lot of them were expensive stuff, but still cool to look at. There was this pom fritz shop where they have Belgian fries and all this bizarre dips to eat them with...but sadly I couldn't try it because I was gonna have a Sundae at the Ghirardelli shop.
Ghirardelli store, tons of overpriced chocolate, [if any of them went to the factory store in SL, they'd die at the prices they're selling for them there] anywhoo and for my b.day I got this email for a 2 for one sundae, I got one and my sister got one and my mom shared with us. I got the "Verry Berry Sundae" it was awesome. It was a scoop of blueberry ice cream and a scoop of strawberry cheesecake ice cream, with berry topping, whipped cream and a rolled up waffle cone cookie. so awesome. at 10AM in the morning LoL My sister got a brownie fudge sundae thing..way too much chocoalte for me. LoL

but they were so good :D and then we started down further to fisherman's wharf and stopped in the rainforest cafe store, they had a ton of cool stuff there, I'd like to eat there just once, even though things are way over priced I'm sure, but you go there for the atmosphere mostly right?

Then we went to the Boudin Bakery/museum/bistro/shop thingie at the Wharf and it was sooooooo much fun, there's a mini museum upstairs and it talks about the history of the business and the "mother dough" and a bunch of stuff about bread and then you get to see them making the bread directly under you, and it's so cool how fast these guys work and the machnery they use. :) they make bread in animal shapes too, there's a fish, and a teddy bear, and allagator, lobster and crab. LoL very cool :) at the end there's also a tasting room where I got to try the different breads with different dips :) the mediterranean tapanade was really good so we bought a jar. OOH and also they have this SOOPER cool system of transporting the bread, throughout the factory and in the store/cafe they have this circulating system. There's these wire baskets that rotate around on a track in the ceiling and the track lowers so people can pick up the bread at the cafe, bread only counter and the bakery, it's just really cool, and I suck at explaining so I'll stop LoL

after filling up on carbs! we walked all in and around pier 39 and looked in all the stores and stuff which was really fun :) and after a while we went to the boudin cafe at pier 39 (it was slightly cheaper there) and I had a bread bowl of clam chowdah, and my sister had a half salad/sandwich and my mom just had a salad. :D good stuff.

Then after walking around some more, we took the F train to the ferry building, but whew we were packed on like sardines! geez, all the more fun though, at least it wasn't a hot day LoL cause it gets to smell like funk in there. whew.

So yeah we got off :) and walked around the ferry building, there wasn't much there, mostly organic food stores, i.e. SUPER DUPER EXPENSIVE. geez $$$ but it was high quality stuff. Then we took the streetcar back to the BART station, that one was also packed, but we just managed to squeeze on :) and then after BART back home :)

it was a long walking day but sooooooo much fun :) I didn't buy anything booo, but eh it's okay, my b-day's coming up, :D

uhm. el fin. dude. sportsmart does not sell rubber boots whodathunk?! geez.
