Dreamcatching.

Man, I woke up so early this morning. Anything before 11am is early especially when I'm still on summer vacay and I have no work the next day. Grr. I've been having these crazy ass dreams though. Let's just say we all went on a field trip last night on two buses. And two girls made out?? HAHA. And someone shaved their head like Britney Spears. HA. I like dreams that I can remember when I wake up. So cracy.

Anyway, my new obsession is with my google homepage. When you select a theme, it adjusts to your select city and time zone. So when it's actually nighttime, it's nighttime on google homepage too. Anyway, I picked the frog and the ladybug and they are soooo freaking CUTE! Like right now, they're practicing karate. And at night they toast marshmellows and make funny faces with a flashlight. HAHA! Sometimes I'll call or text JR what they're doing if it's something new. Yesterday I texted him they were playing with a slip n slide. You should make this your theme too because they are too funny. (does this make me a dork!??)

Vietnamese are brilliant because just like Kimtan, I wrote Disneyland a letter complaining about their rides and customer service. A week later, wah-lah! I got free Disneyland tickets! Yeah mans. Can't wait to use them :) Everything's better when it's free.

And with that, I wish you a happy Friday.

Rate Of A Snail.

time is going by so slow. i've been at work since 11am and i'm bored out of my mind. what really sucks is that my boss didn't leave for the day like she normally does, she only left just now for a lunch break. meaning, she'll be back in like 2 hours. argh.

anyway, nothing new on the homefront. played tennis with celeste yesterday at april's condo. pretty fun except we suck! let's play again. other than that, i'm just working today and tomorrow. i have jury duty on thursday. and friday i have to clean the house.

that's all.

I Love My New Camera!

Mundaze.

So I bought my new camera off of dell.com. Right now they have 15% of select cameras, luckily mine was of the select few. And if you buy it using paypal you get an additional 10% off. Not to mention you get free shipping on orders over $125! Super fatty discount. So glad I was having trouble with other sketchy websites where they sell it for super cheap, but they're either sold out or have the worst customer service everrrr. Anyway, can't wait for my new toy to come in the mail.

As for Vegas, I forgot that it's my mom's birthday on the sixth and I hope I can come up with a good excuse so my mom will excuse me from birthday festivities. I might just try and fly back home earlier than most of you on Sunday. If that's the case, I'll have to book that soooon. So Vegas 08 better be for sure.

Didn't do much this weekend. It's too hot to go anywhere. April's house Friday night for a chill night. Then barbecue at Ron's house the next night. I've never drank so much beer and as fast as I did Saturday. Bleh.

That's the news on my side of the world. Good day.

downtown tonight??

You're Givin Me A Headache

I've been having these bad headaches the past few days. Like constant pain in the back of my head. Not to mention my neck is hurting. I wanna look into chiropractors or something. Or else I'm going to be addicted to painkillers and you'll have to send me to rehab. Eeks.

Thanks to work I got four free sneak preview passes to SUPERBAD! So me, JR, TJ, and Fred watched it last night and let me tell you, this movie is FILTHY. I mean, ridiculously bad. But it's soooooooo fucking funny. Haha. After the movie we just recited our favorite quotes over appetizers at Applebee's. They have new appetizers and they're pretty delish mannn. Check it out for yourself! Sooo SUPERBAD was SUPERFREAKINGHILARIOUS! Credit goes out to the mans because he predicted this shit lightyears ago. Well done boyfriend.

Not much going on this weekend as I am going to be penny-pinching cause I gotta save up for: 1) A new camera 2) VIVA LAS VEGAS 3) Bestfriend's birthday, April-Shmapril. Woot woot. Probably go see another movie tonight and "chillax at home.. you know, where I chill and relax!" Haha guess you would know where that's from if you saw SUPERBAD!

CHICKA-CHICKA-YEAAAAAH.
Have a merry good time :)

i love madden 2008!
trick.

Fill Me Up Buttercup

So, not luck on finding my camera. Bootsy. Whatevs, time to invest in another one.

Surprised to find extra money deposited into my checking account. Maybe an ATM error?? Who knows! But they haven't said anything or taken the money out so I guess I CAME UP!

Watching sneak preview of Superbad tonight 7pm. Looks like a good day.

LOST & not FOUND

If you're on the longest email list in the world, then you've probably heard the worst news everrr. I lost my camera. My beautiful Canon SD 750. BAH! Last day seen: FRIDAY @ RON'S PARTY. So if you put your bag in the downstairs bedroom and noticed anything nice and shiny then GIVE IT TO ME, please. Oh well, negativity's taken over my mind and I'm thinking I'm never going to see that camera again. So I'm already in the market for a new one. I'm thinking about a Canon SD 1000 in black. My reasoning behind it, well... it's cheap.

My lost and found story gets worse. JR got me a gold pinky ring for our one year anniversary and I lost it a month later. It was one of those days we were playing basketball in his backyard and it just slipped off. WTF maaan. So we looked everywhere, me and his whole family (haha cute).. but no luck. I mean, it could be anywhere. BAH! Good news is JR got me another one and this time it's engraved! Yaaay! Gotta be extra careful this time around, or he'll kill me. Haha.

So did you catch the season premiere of THE HILLS?? Like, OMG I hate Heidi and Spencer. Like, it makes me cringe when their scenes are on. Like, get the fack outta here! LC's not that interesting either, kind of a... slut. But I really like Whitney. She's so cute. Audrina has this weird thing about her face, I think it's her eyes. They're kind of droopy. And her new bf is a chump. I do not like long hair. But I'm lookin forward to the new season.

My cousin left last night and I miss her already! Coming home to an empty room is so lonely. Haha. So for her last dinner we took her to Niban and introduced her to the world-famous chicken katsu! Seriously, how do you NOT order chicken katsu when at Niban?? After dinner, we had dessert at Yogurt World. Went overboard and got three different flavors and I couldn't even finish it. If I had to fill out a survey and the question was, What's your favorite food? I would say VANILLA YOGURT & CEREAL! Tangent..anyway, they just opened a Japanese photo booth place just down the way from Yogurt World so we went to take pictures. It ranges from 5 to 6 bucks and you get either sticker pictures or two wallet-sized photos. Pretty cool. I'm going to drag JR their so we can take prom pictures. Yaaay.

I've been getting back into watch Gilmore Girls all day everyday. Can't wait till season seven comes out. NOVEMBER 7TH! Waaah why sooo far away... Anyway, if you love me.. get it for me! Thanks.

Ok well this SUPER long. But I don't update consistently, so it's ok. Check your mailboxes later for Rose's Birthday pictures. BTW, Happy belated birthdays to ROSE & JMAHNEY! Ok I'm outties, love ya.. toodles! *MUAH*




HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA, ok bye.

bachelor room! eew.

So Close I Could Almost Taste It

Made it to the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME again, victory was almost ours... but those damn little poopers beat us. They are too fast, too furious. Ugh and I hate how cocky they are. But I guess if you're as good as they are.. it's okay?? I still wanna sock the little one in the face anyway. Great game played by SUPER KRONICS. Here is your pat on the back.

After the game everyone left, except me + most of the Kronics boysss. I wanted to watch the whole game because it was getting pretty good. They went into triple overtime! I think that's how championship games should go. Fun, exciting, and close. Oh well, whatever the white team that beat PH ended up losing so what.ev.errrr.

I went to Sea World with my sister & her fam plus my cousin. It was pretty fun. Running after my little niece and nephew is hard stuff though. But I love them to death so I'll always let them have their way.


Colin & Me playing with the sea stars.


Watching the Cirque de la Mer show... BORING! Hate shows..

Then on Monday after my first day of class for second session (which went alright), I met up with Josephine and Rhoda. We went to the Del Mar Horse Races! Got a great deal from Carl's Jr which includes: admission, premium seating, a free beer/soda, and a free hot dog all for the low-low price of $8! Whatta steal. We were betting on every race and didn't win a dime until the 8th and final race when me and Rhoda had a last minute bet on "mothereffin Michael Baze son!" This jockey is the man, winning most of his races and rockin the bright pink spandex. We put in $2 each and won $5.60 each. Umm, yay! But I want the big mahney. Till next week..


You shoulda seen my chair I brought. Yellow & purple with Tweety Bird.


Go gettttem!


Double Captain & Coke! In a cool shaker thingy.


Peanut nose!


She got a margarita.

Anyway that's pretty much what I've been up to. I went to Disneyland yesterday with my cousin. Reminds me how much I hate Disneyland. I'm never going back unless it's after 3pm. Ridiculous. Played full-on rugby with the Laguna family. Literally. Haha fun times!!!!!

my pinky feels naked :\

Finals Week Baby!

OChem Final this Friday 3-6PM
Physics Final this Saturday 3-6PM

Going to school on a Saturday?? That sucks! :\

Quick Weekend Recap:
Friday I stayed home and welcomed my cousin back to San Diego. She's here for two weeks and I'm pretty happy she's here. She cleans my room, folds my laundry, takes out my trash, gets me drinks from downstairs.. THIS IS THE BEST! Now I know what it's like to have a little sister. If only my parents hadn't reached perfection when they had me, too bad. Since I stayed home I missed out on Momma Mia! So let's go again. I love bruschetta (pronounciation: brusketta >> according to know it all JR.)

On Saturday I took my cousin to Spectrum Mall up in the OC. Lots of shopping was done and much money was spent. Only bummer was coming home we were stuck in 2 & 1/2 hours of traffic. Seriously bumper to bumper the whole way home. Argh. Damn you San Diego Freeway. Then I went to church with my family and afterwards met up at JR's for Excelsior. We made an early arrival to take advantage of the hosted vodka bar. Probably my best night ever because I only spent $2 and I had like 5 drinks! Yay.

Sunday was even more fun cause we played slosh ball and I chugged beer. I wanna play again! Then yummy pizza at Ellen's house afterwards along with yearbook reminiscing and karaoke of course. A great way to end a great weekend!

Pictures coming soon :] Have a good one!

can't lose you!

Biggest Procrastinator Everrr

Even though I'm fully aware of my OChem midterm tonight, I still went online first to check my email, google reader, then myspace, left some comments, and now blog-blog! Haha. Gotta love low averages and a very helpful curve! Just hope it works to my advantage tonight! So keep me in your thoughts & send me some good vibrations :]

CONGRATULATIONS SUPER KRONICS! Such a close game at first and I was getting nervous, but they pulled through with the big W. Good game anyways Purple Haze 1!! Kimtan represented the Viets with a 3-pointer! Yay. Let's get that championship!!

I got a new planner yesterday from Office Depot, haha. And immediately after I had to write in everyone's birthdays and future plans that I know of. So I'm pretty sure I got everyone?? And the only for sure thing I've got planned is August 10th SHOGUN FREE LUNCH, thanks to bff Apes. Me and Alvin were discussing our strategies last night.. what to order and how much to budget for extra stuff. Alvin was super excited! "Do you think we'll have to pay for tip?" Haha, teammates foreverrr.

Have a good one folks. See ya'll this weekend!

basketball junkie =
nap time for me! yaaay!

It's Celebration Week!

Congratulations PURPLE HAZE 2 on a fantastic game! Gotta love them buzzer beaters. We have got to be the loudest fans everrr especially with Auntie Rhoda screaming over my shoulder. Anyway, congrats again on such a great game :]

Celebration time at Friday's afterwards. Who knew we could take up the whole patio?? Brother Bear was feeling extra generous last night and he bought a round of ultimate long islands for everyone! BALLIN'! Golly that drink was nasty but it did the trick. I soon turned a bright red, felt very buzzed, escaped to the car and just stayed there. JR found me, drove us home, and had to escort me up the stairs. HAHA! Oh gawd. I was supposed to study when I got home too.. ixnay on those plans.

Anyway have a terrific day friends :]

taken advantage of! haha

Palm Sizzle

...is what TJ texted JR this weekend. And boy was he right. Palm Springs was sooo facking hot. Like unbelievably hot. Makes you question their sanity, like why the fack would you want to live here? Not to mention there's not a damn thing to do out there besides shop and swim. Unless you like skin cancer and want to burn to a crisp, which is what happened to my shoulders. Sunburns are not fun. And seems like Palm Springs is infested with bugs because I came home with 4 BUG BITES! Itchin like carazy! AAAH! but anyway, Palm Springs with JR's family was pretty fun minus all the aforementioned details. Even better that his parents don't mind us sharing a bed all weekend! Haha, awkward :]

Yesterday was our 1 Year Anny and we didn't do anything too big. Plans to go to Disneyland were postponed to a later date, so we ended up going to dinner at Morton's Steakhouse downtown. Blah, that place is wack. Service was terrible and food was sooo not that good. I've been to quite a few steakhouses in my day and I still love Ruth Chris. Morton's insisted on showing us a visual menu meaning they rolled out a cart showing us all the cuts of meat, a live lobster, and various vegetables for our picking. I would've much rather preferred a printed menu to save time, which they ended up giving to us anyway after the presentation. So tired of that place that we just ended up rushing through dinner and taking our dessert to go which was a good plan. Love yah bf ;]

Plans for this week:
Tonight In class right now till 630pm, Purple Haze games at 825pm
Tuesday Class 930-11am, Work 11-4pm, Class 5-630pm, 5-time @ April's??
Wednesday Same shit, plus JR's playoff game! GO SUPER KRONICS!!
Thursday Same shit, OChem midterm 5pm! (eeks!), plus dinner with Oanh

Don't forget to catch tonight's episode of MTB4: Diddy vs. LaurieAnn!! Haha

"if i ever fall in love again"
forever tarnished HAHA

Nunya Bees Knees

Extremely disappointed yesterday when we tried to watch Harry Potter IMAX style and there was already a long ass line and odors reeking of smelly butt. I seriously had a pout on my face as we were leaving the theatre. Jeez I guess I'll just watch this movie like, three weeks from now!

Trying to be health conscious nowadays, we ate at Panera for some sammiches and salad. $22 for a meal for two. Wow, eating healthy is expensive. But at McDonald's I could get a full meal for two people for half that price. Hmm, what's wrong with this picture?

Work was the best ever yesterday. Not only did my boss leave for her lunch break she didn't come back till after I was off! So me and James finished all the work required within the first hour, dunzo! JR came by and ate lunch with me and ended up hanging out too. I challenged James to a game of UpWords that my boss keeps high on a shelf in her office. I was on the verge of winning too until he busted out the lamest word ever: skank and then followed it with: pimp. Come on now, let's have a little more intelligent game than that. In the end, he won but he's still lame in my book. Haha.

OMG my niece is bugging me now so I have to go.

Revenge of the Nerd.

That would be me. Super nerd status this weekend. Summer school is tough so I really can't fall behind. But thanks for all the good luck cause I PASSED MY MIDTERM! Woot-woot! Next one is scheduled for July 26th, eeks. That's coming up so soon.

As for my water endeavor, I'm still goin! Averaging 4 to 5 bottles a day. Except for today because I had boba. But it's gotta be like 85% water anyway.. what.ev.er. Water does a body good!

So my weekend went a little something like this:
.. Fashion Valley
.. Ran into the Mysters and had an impromptu double date
.. Vietnamese sammiches next to Angie's Fashion (omg, remember that place?!)
.. Homeworking at where else, home!
.. Oanh & Dung's dad's funeral :[
.. Lunch at Sizzler with Orange County friends
.. Best Buy with JR & dinner from Subway
.. My sammich order: turkey mini-sub! Yuuums!
.. Brother's bday lunch aka 4th of July bbq? Wth..
.. Pedicure with Celeste. Gosh, they should really close at 6!
.. Tapioca Heaven for some crepes, boba, and UNO!

And now I'm here. The end of my weekend. Boo.

PS. Hot weather sucks. Buy a fan!

pinkypromise!

Water Experiment 001

I've been involved in a personal experiment since Sunday. "They" (whoever they may be.. doctors, scientists, health aficionados) suggest or better yet, recommend that you typically should be drinking 8 servings of water each day. Now in my perspective, I'll say 1 serving = 1 bottle of water, which is equivalent to 500mL. Well, since Sunday I've been drinking nothing but water. Hard to believe? You betcha! Water has been my arch nemesis ever since the birth of that bubbly sensation, Coca-Cola. So giving up that carbonated refreshment was no easy task, but somehow I had the willpower and dedication to do so. Error analysis would say I only botched the experiment twice: Monday I had a bottle of apple juice and Tuesday I drank peach iced tea. But for scientific purposes, we'll just let those slide.

Monday: I start off the day with a refrigerated bottle of water (the only way to go man! ICE-COLD!) I'm thinking, not bad.. not bad. By noon-time, I AM DYING FOR FLAVOR. One tiny morsel of sweetness. Something with sugar for pete's sake. So I soon cave and find myself asking for apple juice instead of water. Guilty? Yes. But do I care? Not really. Around dinner time, my food is accompanied by water so the count for Monday is 2 bottles of water.

2 BOTTLES OF WATER? Only two? I'm supposed to be drinking 8 bottles a day yet I could only manage to finish 2. I feel defeated so the next day I increase my intake and make it 3 and a half. Yesterday I drank 5 whole bottles. I am getting up there. But I stop myself and think, is it even humanly possible to drink 8 servings of water? Must I be part-camel in order to drink so much? Who the hell drinks that much water anyway? It is generally the case that if you drink enough fluid so that you rarely feel thirsty and produce between one and two liters of colorless or slightly yellow urine a day, your fluid intake is probably adequate.

So my struggle continues. I'll be triumphant when I'm finishing off the last drops of my eighth bottle. Until then, I'm signing off with my trusty water bottle in hand.


Midterm tonight. Party time afterwards. Wish me luck.

thanks for last night :)

Never Enough Time!

Jeez second week of summer school and my first midterm for my Ochem class is this THURSDAY! Aaaaaah, talk about anxiety attack. I don't get anything that's going on or what he's trying to say and I'm slowly going into stress mode. Yikes. 4 more weeks of school, believe it or not.

Speaking of how time flies, our one year anniversary is coming up! July 22nd <3. I can't believe that just one year ago I had come home from the best Vegas trip ever and watched the sunrise with JR the very next morning. And then Disneyland as our "first date" and a wedding to close out the week. Such fond memories ;]

As for my weekend, not a whole lot went on.
.. American Apparel to stock up on goodies, love that place.
.. Health-conscious sandwiches @ Deli-Icious >> yum!
.. Costco: 30% off magazines and Kirkland white tees
.. Natalie Portman box dvd set $8.99
.. 7.7.07 Lucky Day, bought scratchers, won nada!
.. MM Workshop
.. Kinda sorta invited to Cheesecake Factory, but not really?? Haha jk.
.. Frankie's Italian Deli & boba drinks
.. San Diego Zoo, free tickets thanks to Goodyear!

Somewhere in between there add homeworking and sleep time and you've got my weekend rundown. See you tonight at the basketball games! Go # 12!!

albertson's run-in... HAHAHAHA

I Wish I Wasn't Working...

I bet you're all thinking, "What does it feel like to date the beer pong champion?" I know, I know.. such a huge honor especially when he wins 5 times in a row and I'm tucking him into bed earlier than my grandma would go to sleep. Question: Did anyone catch the real fireworks? I know we were too caught up in our own backyard illegal fireworks, just wondering..

4th of July was chillz. Ribs were good, corn that Alvin made looked good (but I didn't try it), ate a bunch of little piggies, and yummy fruit was refreshing. And that firecracker punch sure caught up with me because my face was warming up by the end of the night. It's those kind of drinks that are sweet and yummy and don't even taste like alcohol that will make you pay for it in the end.

As for tonight, probably study for a physics quiz tomorrow and watch Transformers. Told yah Shia Lebouf was comin up.

Summer Skool

BAH! I start school tomorrow.

MTWTHF 930-1050am Physics.
T TH 1100-400pm Work.
M W 100-250pm Physics Lab.
MTWTHF 500-620pm Class.

Basically school every freaking day of my life.

Summer days really make me lazy. I don't even feel like writing anymore. So I won't.

super close call, haha

Magic Mtn Was MAGICAL!

Magic Mountain yesterday was fun-funny&HOT! Seriously, I was workin up a sweat just standing in line. Super relieved we went on a weekday because it was not busy at all. I loved just cruisin through the line and heading straight to the ride. We also bought flash passes just in case and they did come in handy a few times. Got to ride X finally!! And it only took like 30 minutes to get on. So you know for sure it wasn't crowded. But I still think Goliath is the best. "That drop was money!" So if we're seriously considering a group trip.. it's gotta be a weekday. Or else be prepared for some massive lines.

Funny story: When we got in line for X there was a group of six or so latino guys super thugged out. I mean big tees, flashy earrings, baggy pants. You know the look. So in my head I was thinking, "Oh god, wannabe thug life." But a few minutes later we hear "Like oh my gosh, pose with me!" or "Heeeeey don't take a picture without me!" and of course "That is soooo myspace!" And then as if I needed more proof, guy-on-guy cuddling. Not to mention after the ride one of them approached me and asked me where I got my sunglasses. He said (and I quote) "Oh my gosh, they are soo cute!" Haha. Who knew right? Thugs need love too.

Usually when we make long road trips, I'll drive first and JR drives home. And almost 95% of the time I fall asleep on the way home, leaving the poor guy to himself. But this time around I managed to stay awake the whole entire ride home and only snuck in a few yawns. What probably kept me awake was our in conversation about our families. I've never truly had a person in my life that I've told everything to, in regards to my family. I've shared stories with some, but they never react or seem to care as much as he does. He always listens to me when I need to vent and he'll never resist an opportunity to put me in my place, especially when I'm being straight up ridiculous. Although I may be set in my ways, he somehow finds a way to show me a different perspective. I like to think that we completely balance each other. And when he says, "I hope she feels better" or asks "How is she doing?" it is literally the most uplifting feeling to have someone outside my family circle sincerely care and it makes me fall in love with him all over again.

What About Your Friends?

This weekend was fun-filled and all about reuniting with old friends.

Thursday 06/21. JR's niece's 11th birthday. Had dinner with his family at Crazy Buffet. We tried oysters together and those suckers were NA$TY. Tasted like they were straight from the ocean, which they probably were. Didn't really eat much because they didn't really have much. Back to his house for birthday cake and Cranium. His younger niece is so freaking cute.. almost as cute as my niece!

Friday 06/22. Del Mar Fair with JR, Stanks, TJ, and Freddy. Walked around when we first got there and thought about what we should do.. passed the oxygen bar and TJ was all for it. So all the boys wasted five bucks to have plastic wires through their nose for some oxygen. Watch this.. you too can experience this at home. Just INHALE. Wah-lah and all for the low, low price of FREE! Usual fair stuff afterwards. Got on some rides, ate, and wasted more money on games.

Saturday 06/23. Happy Birthday Neil! Lunch with JR and some errands. Met up with Apes & Cel at Rachel's graduation party. By the way, Congrats Rach! Church with my parents and then DNB's at 10pm. That place was crackin! A line to get into the place?? And now they charge cover! Wtf? Beat Michaelren at basketball and beat five other people at the trivia game. Other than that, a belligerent send-off for Patty Boy. Good luck in Georgia :] Afterwards, I met up with JR and everyone else at Cheers. Showed up and that place was super packed. White on white violence. Alvaro's for dinner. TJ offered to pay so it was free food for the girls, his boyfriend + Vince.. and then just added everyone else on that tab. So basically, Alvaro's on TJ! And in return, he got guacamole on his car.

Sunday 06/24. Happy Birthday to my best CELESTE! No annual Del Mar Fair trip for us, but I did get new tires and an oil change! On top of that they gave me four free tickets to the Zoo and Wild Rivers. Good deal! Hung out with JR all day till I went to Bar Basic for Cel's bday dinner. After drinking a three wise men shot, I bought her a shot of Wild Turkey. She was still standing. Jeez you are one tough little piggie. Hope you had a great birthday!

Boys @ the Oxygen Bar. They are soo cool, NOT!


Win us some prizes maan.


Bar Basic for Celestial.


Your present is in the mail!


Yaaay now we can watch movies again!


Fin.
