SPRING BREAK '09

has been amazing so far.

March 26: Thursday: So I got out of class at about 12:15 and I spent some time soaking in the fact that I was officially on spring break. To begin Spring Break 2009 the right way. Lawrence and I took a trip to LA to visit Jessika at her home. She took us around to see old town Pasadena, her work, Glendale, eagle rock, and then we went back to her place and they jammed on the guitar and such.

March 27: Happy birthday Clarice Angeli Guico! I LOVE YOU! my bestest friend in the whole world turned 20 today :) Although I didn't do much today, I ended up eating at boiling crab for the first time of my life for Melanie's Birthday dinner. Shrimp was deeeelicious but i am damn sure all that was suuuper unhealthy :) heck you only live once.

March 28: Work was a bust. I worked a 7hr shift that took up my whole day. at least I made some money right? After work Lawrence came over to Carson area and we ate dinner at BJs. then when we got back to my house he got to meet my mother.

March 29: My morning started off horribly. Mother was being moody. I was just tired. But I took some time to tidy up here an there. Finally I was set free and Rence took me to Frosted to get a cupcake :) then we got to watch The Haunting in Connecticut. Which I must admit, it got me jumping. After we went to Guppies. and boy was that an interestin night. Despite the stupid people, I got to see Gail after how long.

March 30: Lawrence bought lunch and we got to watch my favorite filipino movie with his grandmas :) then we went and helped diana with some boxes because she's moving out of her apartment. spent rest of the day in Buena Park. went to 3 places just to find Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey just because I wanted some. then Jessika came from LA. ate sushi at midori. listened to them play the guitar and then I decided to just play Gears of War 2.

TODAY: The weather was beautiful. I woke up at about 6am to start my day. I met my Lil up at Westgate park and we played tennis for about 2 hours. It was intense, well for me at least. I'm proud to say that I am somewhat getting better and soon enough I will be more challenging for my lil haha. Then I met up with a pledges for interviews. at about 2pm it was time to hit the beach w/ Jessika and Lawrence. The weather was amazing. Windy but very nice. I got to drive the truck back to long beach. and had a wonderful dinner date of pizza and ice cream while watching the view from signal hill with Jessika. and now I'm home. early for once which my mom likes to see from time to time. as for the rest of the night I am going to bask in the many episodes of shows I've missed throughout the week. toodles til next time :)

SORRY...

after starting this blog I had been consistent with blogging EVERYDAY...as of now I had broken the chain of constant blogging-ness. Glad to say that there are reasons as to why I haven't been able to blog as much as I have before. School, Alpha Phi Omega, and friends have taken up my time. But thing is maybe it is a good idea to hold off on blogging everyday so that my blogs will hold more interesting stories and what not as the days go by.

I am going to keep...

"...the promises I've made to you, just please understand and give me the time. It will be worth the wait."

When they say that the best thing for you is usually there right in front of you without knowing it. and until that day comes and it is somewhat a slap to the face when you realize, why didn't you know about it sooner. In this case it's better late than never. I don't want to have it any other way. But in order for things to work the way we plan, time and communication is more important than ever at this moment.

Today was by far one of my favorite days this year <3

He's just not that into You..

...was a good movie...thank you for taking me to see it last night :) The movie was pretty accurate on so many different levels. It was very entertaining, and would like to recommend people to watch it when you have spare time. I had just arrived home from a wonderful day at Six Flags spent with my friends. X2 and Tatsu are my favorite rollercoasters ever! I can't even completely express how thrilling those two were just so amazing. I am tired and I have church in the morning so I'm calling it a night.

birthday dinner galore!

home.
clean car.
errands.
project linus@1pm

I'm excited for the day!

cough drops, tissue, robitussen, dayquil/nyquil,

has been my best friends for the past week and because of them, I've soon been able to recover quicker. medicines can't cure the heart but care, comfort, and happiness can. it is the remedy. something that I've had for a long time but just haven't been able to grasp...its about time...

you and i will have our own history

in due time =) I want to see where this goes.
School has really been kicking my ass lately and I'm starting to lose my motivation or drive to want to succeed. But I think that's only the case because I haven't decided what is it exactly that I want to be when I'm older. To be honest the Navy Reserves still seems promising but I fear a lot that may come with it. There's no doubt that I
I am almost 100% recovered from this virus/flu/cold/whatever it may be, minus a few sniffles and coughs here and there. What I am most happy for is that I got my voice back because I can actually sing obnoxiously in my car again!
I'm babbling :) have a wonderful day!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

In honor of today with the help of my sister we prepared green-velvet cupcakes (same ingredients as red velvet :P) Today was long as usual, since Tuesdays are my longest days during the week. School. Meeting@pm. Active Meeting@7pm. and then Pledge Exhibition after.

This pledge class is going to do big things, I can see it coming =)

you want to believe

that whatever the world has to say doesn't matter, but deep down inside it means a lot and it affects things. but I think I've gotten to that point of not caring much about it anymore. It is just words of criticism, judgment, and possible jealousy in which people tend to use in order to bring down a person's image. That is when, as a person you should rise and stand up against all odds hoping that decisions you make along the way are the right ones. You tend to win some and lose some. It is a cycle we all have to go through one way or another. This is my life and my choices, why do you have to worry so much about me and other peoples' business when you have your own issues to worry about. Tend to your own and keep it that way. I hate all this talking, you're only making the person you are talking about more famous than he/she already has to be by the minute you open your mouths. But I must admit, I like being able to hear the things people have to say, these days...quite amusing.

let's make it clear

that things will me alright. This weekend had by far been one of those good weekends. I didn't have to worry much about anything really. Work had been good to me. At the meeting this morning they voted me best dressed for the day so I have a chance to win a $50 gift card for MetroPark which would be awesome so I can get a pair of jeans for cheaper! :P The bonfire went well, I was able to make and eat two smores, I also watched The Dark Knight for the first time on saturday night, and to be honest I actually liked the movie. Although it was long the story was good. I love Heath Ledger. Ok i'm done with Chemistry homework, so now I wanna get some rest..sad to say...I AM STILL SICK.

hazy and lazy

the weather seems gloomy today, I like it :P but that's just me. Today I have work 1pm-6pm(8) but I'm hoping that they don't use my on-call because I have plans tonight. After work I'm planning to attend APO Interchapter Event which is a bonfire at Huntington Beach then when that's over, watch movies with rence at his house. Sounds like a plan.

grrreeaaat.

this morning I had my second exam for chemistry and it was...oh so stressful. As I was taking it, I felt suuupeer uneasy but I'm hoping a miracle happens. I lazily came to school in sweatpants and a sweatshirt which isn't my usual attire but it was sure comfortable :) as for today I'm going to sit back and relax. maybe even play some piano here and there. then I have work at 5pm-10pm. hopefully the day brings me happiness and relief.

and it still keeps going.

i'm sooo over being sick. boooo life.

sickness continues

I woke up feeling unbelievably terrible to the point that I missed school for the day. But in the end I had to go to school anyways to book a room for a fellowship event that I will be hosting in April. After that I decided since I am there anyways, I might as well stay and head my committee meeting, which was quite productive. Greek food, and Pinkberry, then studying after was not productive.

that feeling of sickness coming

CAME. because I am now officially sick :(
I just didn't think I'd get sick in a matter of hours. But I guess that's how it works. My head hurts, my throat hurts, and I am feeling like mush. time to just fall asleep in my car. since the day is going to be a looong one.

just WOW!

who could have thought so many ideas, thoughts, and emotions can be revealed in one day. ONE DAY. although a majority has probably progressed with more frustration and anxiety over time, today it seems as if things just blew up. I am tired. physically, emotionally, and mentally. I know things like this happen but I want to know WHY it happens. I want to know the answers to all these damn questions in my head. I am upset and on top of all this...I think I am getting sick :(

sunday funday

:) was fun. but exhausting.
I got to hangout with Lawrence and we went to the Native American Pow Wow on campus.
Ate lunch at Niko Niko with Jessika.
Had Dance Comp Practice at 3pm.
then Executive Committee Meeting at 5pm.

Lately things have been looking better, but with the good somehow some way there's always the bad. Well for me at least once in a while. Sometimes just for once, I just wish to be completely happy.

watchmen

what a day. morning errands were done. relaxed. and work was at 6pm-10pm. I met up with lawrence and we checked out the O-bar, didn't like the atmosphere yet, so then we decided to catch a movie at cerritos mall. I really wanted to watch "He's just not that into you" but we missed the showtime and so we ended up watching "Watchmen" which turned out to be a very VERY interesting movie. What I am most excited for is to watch Angels and Demons which comes out sometime in May. The previous someone illustrated what I would have imagined it to look like as I read the book. I am excited. but as for now I am exhausted.

Today:
Rabbit Rescue Service
Work.
home: homework&sleep

Tomorrow we change our clocks. damn to losing an hour of sleep :(.

let's get down to business

I want to know what I want and everything that comes along with it. To think things can happen in an instant and all of a sudden BAM change is initiated. Good/Bad either one, we learn to just deal with it, and move on. I've grown accustomed to change, because change is inevitable.

time

is of the essence.
yet it helps make sense of things.

CSULB vs. USC: Volleyball Game #1

One hell of a game :)

I had a good day today. Although I arrived late to school I still made it to my 8am class! My work didn't need to use my on-call today. I had pad thai tofu for the first time at Bai-Plu. Then watched the CSULB vs. USC men's volleyball game. Which by the way was intense! Unfortunately CSULB lost but the effort was amazing. After that the day ended well. Tomorrow should be busy but very interesting!

Work 8am-11am.
School.
Meeting with Brett.
Dance Comp Practice @5pm
Kappa Psi Epsilon: Open Mic Night @ 7pm

busy-bee.

Tuesday's are the long days.
Being on campus from 7:30am-10pm is exhausting but well worth it :)
School/Class. Meeting #1 @5pm. Meetings #2 @7pm.
That's how it goes but with more fun here and there.

Update on my Filipino Teleseries, I love love love it!
no matter how corny or lame it may be it still makes me feel all giddy inside haha

gone in 60 seconds.

why I titled it that? I don't know :P
monday was good.
LCG <3
this week is going to be dandy!
or what I hope is going to be good!

welcome March 2009

tonight was unordinary and different from every other night. might i add it was unexpected as well. but on top of all that, I enjoyed every moment of it. From getting out of work early, to dinner (sushi :P), to midnight madness in Irvine, to having to drive my friends' truck because they had been drinking, to getting home safely. Despite the fact that I have to wake up for church in about 4 hours, it's rare to have moments like these happen in my life. I cherish it all.


And then some...11:18pm...
Falling asleep to the sound of someone playing the ukelele is the best. In addition waking up this morning was very interesting. Dance comp was tiring but fun, broke a sweat hahahaha Excom Meeting was delightful. Being at the library with Jessika and Lawrence while being able to finish my Chemistry homework was very productive. Conversations and our breather was quite relaxing. In the meantime I am happy :)
