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 :)

Is That All There Is?

Just a few quick updates and then I'll leave you be.

1 I lost Pillie's clothes. I accidentally left it at the hotel. And since me and Jr had to leave super early and at the time everyone was still sleeping and groaned at the sight of sunlight, we couldn't open the blinds or turn on the lights. So collecting our belongings was rushed and we had to wing it. TOO BAD FOR ME because now Pillie will forever be naked. I want a new pillie, hmph. Bye-bye my aquamarine sateen.

2 Jr FINALLY got his Nintendo DS Lite (thank God). After searching all over the state of California, he finally got it today at Best Buy. I swear we are in that store at least once or twice a week. True story because one of the worker bees recognized us and mentioned how we're in there a lot. Can't help it really.

3 I noticed that my tv is out of commission. Not that it doesn't work, just that I don't watch tv at all. I only watch DVDS now. And guess which ones..?? Wellllll, GG and SATC duh!!! Haha! I love those shows, I'll never get sick of them, they will be forever entertaining... no need for tv anymore. Except to watch new episodes of GG. I am a reformed television-aholic.

4 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIFF. Have a great 24th. (happy Joycee?)

5 I start school on Monday. Sadface. But I get to see Justin Timberlake that night!!! The only thing I'm looking forward to!!!! Sorry boys, won't be there to cheer you on at AIU. Good luck though. GO TEAM A! Errrr, whatever team Jr is on. And it doesn't matter which Jr cause they're on the same team :)

Two Thousand Seven

First off, I'd like to send a shoutout to the bff JAYO-MAYO!! HAPPY 23RD BIRTHDAY King Generous :] Have a fantastic day and hopefully I'll see you tonight. Yehhhhh.

Second, it's probably expected that I reflect upon my 2006 but I have the worst memory ever. God, growing old sucks. Probably the best thing about 2006 that I can actually recall is Mr. Laguna. Finally getting together and it completely living up to all my expectations. Yay!

Thirdly, my very first New Years out and about with the mans was GREAT. Although, it wasn't what we were expecting I still had sooo much fun. What a way to start off the New Year. Got to do the countdown with Jr and of course the midnight kiss (ha!). Getting totally soaked by Chris and Josie and then watching Josie get all up on the floor trying to bust balloons. Leaving the party early to start our own private party in the interracial room only to be surprised with George and Suze already in there. HAHA! Then staying up the whole night: laughing, reenactments, talking with Josie, walking to 711, looking for TJ's car, making coffee, and hanging out in the stairwell smoking. I had a ball.

As for New Year's Resolutions:
1 Go to all my classes (unless something important comes up)
2 Lose weight/workout whatevers (probably won't last, but I'll try)
3 Kill 'em with kindness :)

SEE YOU TONIGHT AT OJAY'S BDAY CELEBRATION 10PM!!

Legendary Status

Last night me and Jr watched Pursuit of Happyness and guess who graced us with his presence. LT # 21 OF THE CHARGERS!! Haha I say it as if you didn't know who he was. Pretty cool huh.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

This was by far, the best Christmas I've had in a looongg time. Couldn't have been possible without my family, my friends, and the bf. Yaaay for the holidays! I still want to go on that horse-drawn sleigh & outdoor ice skating misters!!

First off, I usually dread going to Christmas eve mass with my parents at a church 30 minutes from our house in east side San Diego where the pews have no tooshie cushions and a trilingual mass (english-spanish-vietnamese) which always prolongs the service. But it wasn't all that bad. I actually didn't mind singing the 10 Christmas songs and the different languages. The 2 hour mass went by rather quickly.

On Christmas day, we always have a huge lunch at my house with really good food. And today was no exception. Turkey, mashed potatoes, prime rib, chicken wings, etc. Delicious!! To top it off, my secret santa got me my mary jane wedges that I've been searching for all over southern California. I could've sworn they were sold out but my aunt found them for me!! Super awesome surprise. And watching Colin and Cara open presents that me and Jr got them was really sweet. I love those kids.

At night me and my sister watched Holiday. Not a huge fan of any of the actors in the movie, but it was way better than I expected. Really cute movie. Probably the Love Actually for this year. So you should consider watching it. I still haven't watched the Will Smith movie, boo.

I HOPE I DON'T HAVE WORK TOMORROW!! Cross your fingers. I want to go shopping all damn day. And I can't wait till New Years!

thankyou, thankyou, thankyoulove.

Rock-Paper-Scissors Queen

I don't like to brag, but there is one thing I can dominate at and that is playing best out of 3 Rock-Paper-Scissors. I can usually get my way with anybody by convincing them to what seems like a challenge, but ultimately I ALWAYS WIN. Well, I don't want to say always and then jinx my good fortune but I seem to win a lot.

For example, when at work I usually play my co-worker RPS (acronyms gotta love the time-saver) for our whole pitcher of tips. And I usually walk out with a pocket full of cash. In fact yesterday, I convinced James to play me for who has to take out the trash by themselves (a rather tiring task if performed by oneself). And guess who was the chump who had to make the walk of shame to the dumpster? J Mahney. Muahahaha. I pity the fool who dares me to a game :]

Although publishing this post and being readily available to all my friends, I'm sure they'll want to challenge me. Knowing how twisted this life can be and how quickly luck can change.. I'll most likely lose. Grr. I hate to lose. My competitive nature is known to all and usually applies to anything in my life. Haha.

Another example, Jr and I like to play board games with each other once in awhile. From a game of Life to chess to Guess Who and our current favorite, Outburst Remix. I swear I've played every game with this guy and I HAVE YET TO WIN. Yeah I won ONE game of Life, but really.. is that something to brag about??? I think I've won a few times at Guess Who, but the skill to win at this game isn't much. It all goes back to that fateful night in Vegas after Tryst where I challenged him to a game of chess. Thinking "he's pretty darn cute and probably drunk as hell and I think Michaelren has been a pretty good chess mentor... how can I not win this game???" To my dismay, I lost.. bad. Don't be fooled my friends, he's more than just a pretty face (haha)... the guy's got substance. But now he's my boyfriend and I usually get my way with anything except for board games. ARGH!! At least I'm learning to lose gracefully...

Back to the daily grind. Have a good one friends.

Currently..

These Titles Carry No Significance

Yay for winter vacation! Although, my break started earlier than a lot of you. Sorry for you graduates, who are full-fledged adults. No breaks for you!! Muahaha. Anyway, the weekend was exciting and busy. Lai's semi-surprise birthday party @ TGI's. Ohmygosh, you guys are getting old. 24?!!! Jeezus. I stayed home Friday night and tried to finish up the nurses' graduation presents. Too bad I finished it late in the night and didn't have the time to wrap it up the next morning. Sorry nurses, it's nothing huge though so don't get your hopes up :] It's the thought that counts. Riight??

Then come Saturday I was running really late for their pinning ceremony, on E the whole way down (and no it's not what you think alvin & donna!! dorks) and my poor car was struggling. Luckily, the ceremony started way late so what was I worrying so much for? The reception afterwards was pretty nice. Decent food and the cake was so delicious that I had two slices. Left early cause Alvin said they make you pay $7 for the first hour and additional money for the following hours. Have no fear, I swindled them valet fools and only paid $7 bucks for 3 hours. Deal or no deal?.. definitely a deal!!

Went to Joyce's family party in the hood later that night. Salted pepper wings were better than I remember!!! And that's all I ate, haha. Probably not a good idea cause I didn't feel great at the club :[ Went to On Broadway and paid $15!!! Argh I hate that place. And why was there a line to get into an empty room?? Gad all that standing made me crazy nauseous and I had to sit down.. somewhere, anywhere. Even if it was the floor, haha. Sorry gals that I wanted to leave early. But I would've been perfectly fine sleeping in the car.. and much happier I might add. I just did not feel good at all. Sawree..

And on Sunday me and the mans went to breakfast at Ihop and then went up to South Coast to get some Christmas shopping done. We were very productive. Jr hated it though cause it was soooooooo crowded. But I loved it! Favorite mall ever. Got a lot of our family peoples down and he bought me my gift. YAYAYAYAYAYA senkyouverymuch boyfriend, I LOVE THEM!!! Sporting the ponytail forever now ;]

To sum it up, it was a good weekend.
I love my best friends/myFAB5/mybf.



HAPPY BIRTHDAYS TO LAINEE & KIMTAN!!
(sooooooooo old)

blushing = so adorable

I Wonder If I Take You Home

Would you still be in love with me?

I am ridiculously tired. I've been up since 5am because of my morning shift at work. Haven't had an ounce of caffeine in me all day. Well, if you count the couple sips of Jr's mountain dew.. then whatevers. I should be running last minute errands but I can't get myself out of bed. And I have this ginormous bruise on my leg courtesy of Jr (well, it hasn't exactly been proven.. but who else could've done it!) and it hurts if my hand even slightly grazes my thigh. It's gross-looking too.

To the left, to the left...

Meanies

First things first, let's get the birthday shoutouts out of the way!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALVIN BIENVENIDO! (yess i know, benavidez!)
Hope you have a great one and keep on taking care of my best.

Well, I just got to work. A little tired and cranky after waking up from a short, but peaceful nap. Blah so I'm a little brain dead and can't think of much to say sooo I guess I will see most of you tonight for the first time in like, WEEKS! Wahooooo! I want to drink, drink, drink with my nurses! Congrats on taking your very last final of your life! Lucky ducks :] So get out of that Grandma status and partay (ahem, LAI!)


The bebes took their Christmas card pictures last night!


My sister is evil for making them pose like this. Cheesy!

Good luck on your final boyfriend!

...

what in the world?

Myspace Yourface

Myspace is perhaps the greatest source of entertainment. My pet peeve is when people have pictures of JUST THEMSELVES because normally, everyone takes pictures alone??? Riiight. Granted, you may look cute in the picture but jeezus.. it's annoying. Unless you're doing something abnormally funny or you're doing something dumb, it's okay. But the "look-at-me-smiling-all-by-myself" picture?? Gets a bit redundant. I guess the whole point is to put up pictures where you look awesome, so I mean yeah sure put that solo pic up. But could it be any more generic?? Ohmahgod. But it is quite entertaining and makes me chuckle, so keep on truckin'.

I was looking on myspace earlier and my friend's bf, under occupation, he put: LOVING HUMAN BEING!! WTF!?? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Duuude, "you are a nutty nigga." And I never use the N-word...but it's okay because I'm quoting somebody. Justified.

Speaking of Justified... I can't wait till the JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE concert. Woot-woot!! Hottie with a body! Did you catch him on the Victoria Secret runway show? Gad, I couldn't help but smile the whole time :] Haha (I just thought to myself what a huge dork I can be)

Went shopping @ Fashion today and it was all about the hustle & bustle. Shoppers galore. But I was very productive and actually got some shit done. Like the nurses' graduation gifts!!! (Yes, ladies. I got ems!) Hope you like it :X Can't wait till you graduate so I can see you gals more often.

Time Is Now 1:17PM

Approximately 2 hours till my LAST final and shibuya! I'm outta here.
I need a cocktail :]
