Something Borrowed

The title of the book I'm currently reading. Yet to finish the Hilary Clinton autobiography. It's been tucked inside my drawer at Jr's house. And yes, he cleaned out my very own drawer at his house a loonngg time ago. Doesn't really matter cause I leave so much of my junk there.. extra contact case, deoderant, moisterizer, shampoo & conditioner, jammies, text books, etc. I am a total slob at his house. But here at mi casa? Clean as a whistle! Haha, sorry papabear.

Anyway, the book is good so far. We went to Borders Sunday night instead of going to HOB (sorry brotherbear!). I was totally scrubbed out anyway. I was deciding between two books to get: this one and Running with Scissors. But I guess that will be my next purchase. As for Jr, he's reading Freakonomics... err something like that.

Well, since everyone's been blogging about traveling might as well let you in on our plans. I definitely wanna go to San Francisco, but we wanna go somewhere we've never been. And the perfect place would be CHICAGO! I think it'd be a lot of fun. And of course he wants to catch a Bulls home game. So we're thinking the last week of March (my spring break) and hopefully getting tickets to the Pistons/Bulls game (yeh sheed). But it's just a thought and nothing official..yet. Hope it goes through :] I love traveling because really it means SHAPPIN!

Anywaise (eew). New Years was a lot of fun. Lunch was delicious!! Excess honey walnut shrimp means leftovers for the misters. I got a lot more money than I thought I would! Thanks fam. Then we gambled afterwards.. my absolute favorite game: Bau Ca Tom Cua translation: Lucky Chess. Basically it's like roulette, kinda. In the sense you pick an animal and place your bets. Roll some dice and if yer animal comes up you win! Colin had beginner's luck and was winning every time. He'd point his little finger in the air triumphantly. SO FREAKING ADORABLE. I love my Colinboo.

I really wanted to go to South Coast today but the rain spoiled our plans. I really really want to go to Beverly Center to go to H&M!! But if I wanna go to Chi-town, I better save my mahneys. Blah. And note to self: get kickin on that homework cause midterms next week and I am goin out Friday & Saturday!! SOOO GET TO IT MISSY!!

fingerlickin good??
HAHA love you bebs.

Sunny Day

The weather is so nice today. I wore a short sleeve sweater and wasn't cold at all! I love HOT weather, but I hate to sweat. Yucks. Last night, the game was really good. PH 2 played so well together and PH 1 could not get it together. Jeez, couldn't even let the birthday boy win?!! Afterwards we went out to eat at Applebee's. Happy hour is good there, except I didn't even order anything from the happy hour menu. Stayed there till closing time trying to get a story out of Jr and his number one FAN, Tgay. Boys can be so dumb. "Define naked." "Define friend." Define this, define that... dude, just buy a dictionary. Haha but it was pretty fun.

As for tonight, me and Jr are supposed to go to dinner with his parents for his bday. And then chill or whatever is going down. Tomorrow I hope to go shappin!! And then maybe a movie and of course, Jr's birthday partay. I know you're excited. See you all there amigos.

sawree misters :\

Birthday Bear!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOYFRIEND!!!
Name: Jr Laguna
Age: The big 2-4
Location: Jewel of Black Mountain
Sex: AMAZING!!!!
(hhahahahahaha gotta pat myself on the back for that one)

Ohmygod people around me are getting sooo old. Nice to be the youngest one around. Probably sucks for you guys cause I have this incessant need to remind you of how old you are. Also, I've decided that for my upcoming birthday I'll be celebrating as 22 + 1 because 23 is an ugly number. I loooove 22!!!! Haha, maturing well dontcha think??

Good news: A couple posts ago I talked about my racist tirade midterm... well looks like it worked cause I did good!!! MUAHAHAHAHA annnnnd I did not study in the least bit and I never ever go to class. THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY!

G'luck Purple Haze :]

it's yer birthday.
and i grant you 3 wishes.
ha!

I Love ME Too.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Hope you get some form of lovin.. cause everyone needs it!

MUSIC & LYRICS comes out today.. which means you can find me and the mans at the movies! I heart Hugh Grant. Anyway, since I came up on $50 on Monday from George/Hank because he threw MY SHOE ON STAGE which landed next to ?uestlove's drum set.. the Lagunas and the Mysters went to eat at Cheeburger. More like a thank-you ToeKnee for hookin it up fatty. Don't be jealous Stanks, we'll double soon enough (that is when you guys are officially together!) Cheeburger Cheeburger was awesome. Great atmosphere, yummy food, and sweet service. We all totally pigged out! Got all these extras that we probably wouldn't get had we not had George's money. Milkshakes and shake-a-sodas, frings basket, and chicken strips! Oh my! This place gets two thumbs up. (And very reasonably priced!)

i've got a crush on you!

Who's Bright Idea Was It To Order 15 Shots Of Hennessy???

By far the SICKEST SHOW EVER. Roots & Lupe Fiasco!! First off, big thanks to BROTHER BEAR & HOB for supplying us, the infantile idiots, with an endless supply of alcohol. Jeezus.. I haven't consumed so much grey goose... EVER??! I think from hereon out, we all should be banned from drinking that nasty ass Hennessy. Seriously. No more Hank apperances please.

Recap (mainly for those who can't even remember the night, ahem bdayboy!!):
1 Meet up at Casa de ToeKnee. Rock-paper-scissors..YOU DRIVE!! Thanks Suze for letting us ride with you and then taking your car home!! It was a niiice ride :]
2 Drive downtown (no traffic!!) and find parking. (we got a good spot! nearly sacrificed our lives for it, but nevertheless... good parking!)
3 Reservations at House of Blues Restaurant, table of 14 please.
4 Peruse the menu. I should've gotten the filet mignon but went skint and got a burger, 3 cranberry-grey-gooses and 1 jack&coke. I think I did good.
5 Bill: $700 on the house! Thank you TK.
6 Get seated in our own specially reserved area.. bracelet and special sticker thingy that means "GIVE ME FREE ALCOHOL ALL NIGHT LONG." Honestly the best view ever. Up close with the option of sitting any time I wanted.
7 Madness ensues. Hank comes out and who can forget WOOF-WOOF-WOOF! Hahahahahahahha, those three are such troublemakers. Our own personal: 3 Stooges. "That's your man!" Proud of it :]

I would post pictures. But I'll let TK handle that.
Really really really good times :]

can't wait for our double feature
on wednesday papabear!!

Pan's Labryinth = Nutty

I am never going to get all Platinum in Brain Academy.
But I will try my hardest, even if it means sacrificing homework.

Jr's birthday week starts now!
"3 days before and 6 days afterwards!" (umok dork)

out of the goodness of my heart.
love you papabear.

Weekends Were Made For Fun

Last night was so. much. fun! Ate dinner at Potstickers in Carmel Mtn. with that other half & half couple, the Nguyens. That place was goood. Haven't had sit-down Chinese food in so long. Walnut shrimp was delicious!!! What I really wanna try next time is Cheeburger Cheeburger, this new restaurant next door that looks like Corvette Diner or The Max. Let's go Mysters!!!

Went to Borders afterwards to wait for some peoples and ended up looking at wedding magazines. Freakin Stank. Jeez, can someone get married already???? I want to go to a wedding!! We finally left and TK dropped me and Jr back home cause they were going out downtown. And we actually stuck to what we said we were going to do... Homework & Zelda! I love lounging :]

Guess we're going to The Roots concert on Monday, VIP style. Really excited for this one cause we can actually sit while we watch The Roots with an unobstructed view!! Plus a $40 dinner voucher and FREE FREE FREE drinks??? O-M-G, going to be lots o fun. Can't wait!!

"remember what we first did in my truck"
giggles.

February Is Being Good To Me.

So I had a midterm this morning for my Race & Ethnicity in Politics class. It was bullshit. Yes, I don't attend class often and when I do I like to cut out early or do other things while she's yappin... but the woman didn't provide any kind of information about our midterm except that it was today. Who does that??? I talked to a few of my fellow classmates and they were just as dumbfounded as I was. She was asking for 3-4 pages on our essay questions. 3-4 PAGES?! What the.. And now I think she'll think I'm a racist because I called "whites" a lot of supremacists and basically went on a racist tirade for a good page and a half. HA! Well, it's all philosophical if you ask me and there's no right or wrongs. Except she did ask us to include references from her lectures or our course readings.. which I didn't do. But whatevs! Hopefully I just throw her off and she grades easy or the I'm above the curve. Hope for the best, expect the worst :]

THREE GREAT THINGS ABOUT FEBRUARY:
1 Valentine's Day, duh. This year I've got me a good one, so no matter what we do will be spectacular! Just the fact that Jr is into it this time around is good news to me :]
2 Jr's Birthday on the 15th. The mans turns 24 "which is almost 25, which is almost mid-twenties." Birthday present: CHECK! But I'll probably hook him up with some other goodies (ps. refer to ciara's song "my goodies").
3 NEW YEAR'S BABY = cash mahneys. Which is a great thing because I'm low on flow and those little red envelopes couldn't be coming at a better time. My family says I'm getting too old to get money but like I say all the time during this time and Christmas is: "Hey as long as I'm not married, I should be getting presents." Sounds like a good compromise to me!

Last night was a Purple Haze double header, except only 1/2 PH Teams played. I guess them Beya-beyas got scurred and didn't show up for their game last night. All the guys decided to scrimmage against each other and boy did they take that shit seriously. I thought it was just for fun too. I got to play scorekeeper and I swear every other second someone was yelling at me. "STOP THE TIME!" "ADD 3 POINTS!" Jeez people, I'm not a professional. And Chris kept trying to trick me to give him 4 points. Almost worked too, haha. Final score after playing for 40 minutes and 5 minutes overtime: 106 to 106. Haha I'm glad it ended in a tie cause I wouldn't wanna deal with any bitter bears or crybabies, haha.

Ok this is long enough. I should do something productive, like play my DS!

your defense dance...
me: head hanging in shame.
HAHA! <3you.

I Was On Time For Class Today..

But I left super early to go to Jr's and catch some ZzZz's before work.
Haha so much for my NY's resolution. Tee-hee.

Blah nothing much to report on my side of the world. Except for:
+ Both PH teams lost last night (but everyone blogged about that)
+ More people to join the WII crew (but everyone blogged about that)
+ Errbody's got DVR (but everyone blogged about that)

But nobody blogged about: GILMORE GIRLS NEW EPISODE TONIGHT! Haha! You love me, don't hate. My MII character's name is Rory, but she looks like me. Black clothes, black ponytail (for Jr), and my "button" near my left eye. Haha! Also, I was cleaning out my wallet today and found like 4 receipts from Burger King. Jeez, we eat there a lot... and that's not even counting last night's dinner there with the boyees. I love BK! Get a #9, soo yummy. Okay well that's all. See you Wednesday night for PH Pt Deuce.

SAVE THE DATE:
FEBRUARY 16TH, Jr's birthday dinner/party/karaoke night!
Most likely @ Min Sok Chon on Convoy, right across from Tajimas.
Join in on drinks, bulgogi, and more drunken singing.
Formal e-vite to come :) I'll keep you posted..
Ps. His actual bday is on February 15th, but I'm sure you already knew that.

Have a great day friends!

Papa Bear soon to be Grandpa Bear.
24?? Sooo old!

ECCENTRIC!

Superbowl Sunday was better than I expected, minus a few troubles :\ . Didn't really pay too much attention to the game. Only looked up from my DS when everyone started screaming. Soo loud! Was rooting for the Bears for Josepine's sake, but too bad so sad.. they lost :(

Then we watched American Idol (DVR rules) and boy was that hilarious. Made me laugh so hard. Haha even made me cry (i'm pathetic, and thanks jenny for letting the whole world know >:\ ) Old people man...

And of course, they had to break out the karaoke. Um I agree with Simon when he says "I'm 1000% NO!" Haha! Oh well, good times had by all. I drank so much I fell right to sleep as soon as I got home and woke up refreshed!! Yay.

Waiting for those pictures Heffer, Stanks, and Brother Bear!!!
YOU CAN FIND ME COURTSIDE TONIGHT! GO PURPLE!

no laughing for 24hrs.
HA!

Omelet Katsu... Yuck :\

Went to the Clippers vs. Bulls game on Wednesday. Staples Center is teeny-tiny! We were pretty close to the players and right behind the basket. Although the Bulls lost, Hinrich played a good game and that's basically why we went to go watch. My first sporting event experience was perfect! Got my foam finger (expect to see it at Purple Haze games)! Had great seats! Got those blow-up-noise-maker thingies! Yelled out ridiculous things (you know how I like to do that, haha, I couldn't resist here)! And even saw a fight in the stands that was right by us! Pretty gnarly. Overall, a fantastic day with the misters.

Then we came home and senkyou DVR for recording the finale of Top Chef. I was soo tired that I fell asleep before they announced the winner but I do remember hearing them say it was ILAN! Muahaha. Jr hates the guy so my initial perception of him has been skewed. Grr for being an influential person in my life. Ilan just gets less cute every time he opens his mouth and says something nasty about Marcel. Not cool man. Probably a fluke that Ilan won, but whatever. I really wanted Elia to win. I liked her.

Speaking of tv shows, didja catch the new episode of GILMORE GIRLS on Tuesday??? OMG, it was soo good. I was crying by the end when Richard has a heart attack. Sooo sad! Old people will forever have a soft spot in my heart.. Can't wait till next week's episode :]


We're heeeeeeeeeeeere.


Coast to coast, LA to Chicago..


Jr's favorite player (the rear side!)


Free throws that he made!


Score was tied. #12 had 21 points and 10 assists


Pull my finger!!

i<3masnuckasnuck

HAHA!

We went to Magic Mountain over the summer and you know how at the entrance they ask you'd like to take a picture and then pay a price and it's all yours?? Well, we took the picture but never bought it cause we look dumb. But ever since summer they've been sending me emails saying it's not too late to buy that picture and sometimes it'll have festive borders like for Christmas or even for...


VALENTINE'S DAY!

Hahahaha awww that was a good day. Yes, it would be easy enough to unsuscribe to these emails but seeing this picture every so often brings back lovely memories. Who woulda thunk it? Me and Jr. Dawww.

And I have reached my gag quota for the year. Ok byeee.

CAME UP!

Word of mouth travels fast so I'm sure you've heard the good word.. I got Jr a WII for his birthday. After looking all day for DS's for Althea and Raelynn, we checked out the Target in MM and whatdoyahknow... THE LAST FREAKING WII and it's all mine, I mean his. We got two games: Wario and Zelda. WII Sports is a lot of fun too! He kicked my ass at tennis, but I like to think I give him a good run for his money! Besides I'm better at golf. Anyway, Happy early Birthday Papa Bear :)

I've been working out so much lately. You know, hitting up the courts and swinging some clubs. Virtual style though! Made possible by WII Sports. I am sooo freaking sore, I think I've used muscles I never knew I had before. Forget the gym, just buy a WII!!!


Your knock-knock jokes are dumb.


$7 for bulgogi, salad, random chicken wing, chicken katsu?? DEAL!


Being emo at the mall.


Tennis pro, NOT!


Look at that form! Vietnamese love them rackets.


Brother bear never looked gayer.

boxer-briefs!

Dangerously In Love

... With my DS!!! I was driving home today in traffic and bright idea! I'll play my DS while driving in traffic. Brilliant huh? Well, while in bumper-to-bumper traffic I was in the middle of a Brain Age test and all of a sudden BAM! BRAKE LIGHTS IN MY FACE and too close for comfort. My body was in shock for over 30 seconds because it really was a close call. Jeezus... I nearly died all because of my new found addiction to my DS. So I swore to myself never ever do that again. Haha. Just a heads up to you DS owners.. don't do it.

Another thing.. you know what's annoying??? People who have ambiguous license plates. I mean, you pay extra money (and I think it's an additional fee every year with registration) to show off this license plate and then the person behind you staring at the ass of your car is completely confused and dumbfounded because you (the knucklehead) decided to get RENUGDE or PUGLEVR or DOBLEDN etc. I hate that! Why even get a personalized license plate??? So what if YOU'RE the only one who gets it??? YOU'RE not the one looking at it, trying to decipher it's secret message. Bah! We really should pass legislation to ban ambiguous license plate. Really.

I went shopping today and only spent $6. And I got a ton of stuff. YAH MON!

seoul bbq for lunch!
don't forget!

I AM NUMERO UNO.

Ladies and gents, as of last night...
I AM OFFICIALLY THE OWNER OF ALL 6 SEASONS OF THE BEST TELEVISION SHOW EVER. And obviously, that would be GILMORE GIRLS. Did you catch the new episode last night???? I looove that show :] Number 1 fan foreva.

I also bought a used DONKEY KONG COUNTRY (for gameboy advance) last night. I used to love this game when I was a kid and playing it now brings back good memories. And I even went geek status (like my better half) and researched the game online and found cheat codes. Haha!! One of them was for 50 free lives. Yeh baby!! This game is awesome :]

Okay back to class.

we are geeks,
but that's okay.

We Should Get Rid Of Coffee.

I hate work when I actually HAVE to work. It was a half day at school today and all the high school hooligans were in the store buying drinks nonstop. Had to handle the rush all by myself :( I barely got to sit down and hang out with Lai and Alvin. Boo. Argh. So tired..

Today I was driving and the radio was actually playing some good jams. Like Warren G's Regulator, my favorite Michael Jackson songs (PYT & Butterflies), Ciara's Promise (love it), and some Tribe. I like songs that manage to fit 3-syllable words or are vocab heavy. Like Warren G: "Let me contemplate". Or even Nelly Furtado: "Promiscuous Girl!" (haha secretly written about Elainne) And of course Tribe is always down with the higher education. Gotta start downloading again cause my iPod mysteriously erased every single song I had, which was over 3,000 songs. Boo to you.

And in class today, I scanned over my planner and I have a midterm on Monday already! Jeez Louise, I didn't even realize it. Guess I'll have to miss the Purple Haze game on Monday. Speaking of Purple Haze, good try last night. I think I've seen you guys play a lot better but you'll get em next time!!! But you know what team is better than both Purple Haze A & B?? PINK FOG! Hahahahahhaa good one Stanks (and I can call you Christine if I want to!!) Let's make tshirts to wear to the next game :)

Let's take a gaycation.
You are so goofy, I love it.

Halfway There

And boy has it been a trip :) 22 me & you, love you boo.
(and there is your rhyme)

So today is happyday because Jr got me a NINTENDO DS LITE (thankyou-thankyou-thankou). The bundle pack from Costco, comes with: a carrying case, lanyard, glow-in-the-dark stylus, and Super Mario Bros. I already ordered my new DS skin in ice blue aka aquamarine aka hella cute. Can't wait to pictochat and beat Jr at all the games we currently own. (btw, i already am beating him in a few games)


Here's me and Rach @ ipayone. Sweaty-sweaty.


He makes suits look gooood.


He had this cool sheet thingy that projected pictures.


I haven't been taking a lot of pictures, but here's some from Stanks' bday.


Happy Birthday Christine!!!

I Hate Early Morning Classes.

It's not even that early. 930am. But I can't even drag myself out of bed early enough to shower, get dressed & get ready and be on time for this class. I have been half an hour late every time (so far). I didn't even go to bed that late! I hate early classes. Anything before 10am is too freaking early for me.

But my Polisci class is pretty interesting. Race & Ethnicity in Politics. A little annoying at times because no matter what, I always get defensive when a white person talks about asians in any way. All I can say is that I can't wait till 2008 Presidential Elections. History in the making people!!

I was walking to AS Reserves and it was freee-eee-zing. And along the way I saw a white girl wearing what probably was I assume an A&F sweater with a short pleated skirt... LEG WARMERS WITH SANDALS. What. on. earth?? I swear that is such a huge pet peeve. Girls and sometimes guys who do not dress appropriately for the weather. SANDALS IN THE RAIN?! That is just nasty. Haha. Ok I'll stop. (Mental note: buy gloves from Target)

So I had to walk to ASR to buy my course reader for my Polisci class, thinking in my head it'll be about $40 bucks max. After waiting in line for over 20 minutes, I finally get to the window, tell the guy my class, and he comes back with a GINORMOUS packet. I mean like Calculus/Ochem BIG. And of course without thinking I say, "HOLY SHIT." I'm sure he agreed with me. I had to wave my hand to stop him and ask, "How much is that?!??!" ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (of my own freaking money that I currently don't even possess = overdraft fees). I reluctantly hand over my Mastercard and pout the rest of the way back to my car. The saddest walk of my life. (haha)

Happy Birthdays to CHRISTANK & WILFREDO!!!

Well, back to the grind I guess.

i want a ds please asap, haha.
and fidel castro did not die!!
oh and lub-a-dub-dub bubs :)
