excitement

summer vacation is slowly coming to an end and I am super satisfied. I've done more things I've ever done in my whole life in just a span of 2-3 months. Tomorrow is another adventure at Raging Waters. I can't even remember how long it has been since the last time I went. If I can recall I think it was over 10years ago? Wow, now I can't wait :) hot weather. water rides. uneven tans. good company. and good food.

Today I fortunately got to hangout with a few people I have not seen in a while. It was really nice to be able to enjoy their company over delicious GREEK food at this quaint little restaurant called Cafe Opa. Our conversations were amusing and its good to know that even though we've all been apart some people just never change :). It was fun to laugh at the past and the little stupid things here and there. Also hearing about each others news about school, friendships, love stories. haha such a good night. Tomorrow is going to be epic :)

this weekend had been a little hectic. but filled with a bunch of activities. let me break it down.
Friday 7/31: Justin/Sonny's Bonfire. it was chill. got to see a few AphiO people that i haven't seen in a while. so that was nice.
Saturday 8/1: short trip to costa mesa H&M. back to my place. and stopped by at Cabrillo Beach for some sandcrab hunting. then went to a place called Gaucho's Village Brazilian Churrascaria Steak House for Lawrence's cousins going away-to-med-school dinner. and it was ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT. these men come around with swords of meat, and you would answer with the flip of your coaster of "yes please" or "no thank you". it was delightful. and i left feeling as if i wouldn't be able to eat for days...
Sunday 8/2: woke up early as always for 7:30am church. Lawrence came along for the early mass experience at my church finally :P around 9ish we dropped my grandma off at this place in Melrose then we made our way to belmont pier. upon our arrival over there, the pier was CLOSED due to some taste of long beach event they had, so we had to drive all the way back to redondo, where we did get a good spot. but still caught nothing. Sunday was also david ho's birthday: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DHO. and so we "surprised" him with a small dinner and games at John's Incredible Pizza Co. which was once again another all-you-can-eat buffet of salads, pasta, pizza, and dessert. The games were fun. Lawrence and I ended up with like 679 tickets. but only used about 200 in selecting prizes. Got to drive his car home because he was too full. and called it a night.

ramblings...
-I haven't eaten this much since i don't even remember when.I mean food was delicious and all but damn..i feel super bloated. but its ok though because it's working out time since school is just around the corner.
-With school in mind, I can't believe how much tuition raised this semester. it's crazy expensive.
-Life is surely falling into place, in the way I wanted it to be. So I can't complain much. unless I complain about the simple things. which i will not do. because i am NOT a whiner :P
-my siberian husky needs her nails trimmed.
-my room is a MESS that needs some major fixing to do, just wish I had the money.
-work hasn't been giving me hours lately which sucks :\
-I wish I could go on vacation somewhere for like 3 days. Just to get away from the area.
