I was relieved when they took naps. But man.. that was a memorable experience.. now i know that imma hold off on having kids until i think i'm ready.. haha

fools rush in.. is it a sign?! i just finished watching "Fools Rush In". i like that movie. everytime i watch it i get all ... awwww inside.. haha. damn mushiness. but doode.. everytime i watch this movie i start thinking cuz like the girl's all into looking for signs, fate, and destiny, and that's how i kinda am. i don't live off of reading signs, but it doesn't hurt just to look at them. Even if it's a common thing i see day in and day out, i still consider it as a "sign" of something. Fate is something i like to think about too. For example, if my parents didn't give me a choice and if my sister wasn't born, i would have ended up at St. Joe's instead of CHS. I wouldn't want to go there but i bet i'd end up there. If i had gone to St. Joe's, i wouldn't have met the people I met in CHS. I wouldn't have had experienced what i did while i was in HS. Heck, maybe my GPA wouldn't be as good and maybe i would have stayed quiet and shy [or at least a bit more reserved than i am.. or maybe WILDER]. But instead of ALL that and who knows wut, my sister was born, parents gave me a choice, and i ended up having good times. I was able to live through experiences away from home.. as far as NY! If it wasn't for MUN, i wouldn't be as... open?? yeah. i think so. If I didn't go to Diana's house that one day and if i didn't watch that MUN tape.. and if she didn't feel confused about dropping MUN for AP Euro, i wouldn't have gotten close to the people who i did get close to. And that's what i call FATE. If i didn't take English Honors freshmen year, i wouldn't have met my *NSYNC buddy phan! or my "mirsk" buddy Michael. if i took Bio H and got into Chem H then i would hve had 6th period Chem with Solar ahha our ONLY class we had together. what WOULD be trippy tho is if i actually did go to st. Joe's and i still met those people. hmm.. i wonder. ;)

MARRIAGE?? read this.. i got this from my uncle. i thought this was appropriate just because he's getting married in september..hahaha
1. Marriage is not a word. It's a sentence (a life sentence).
2. Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore marriage is an institution
for the blind.
3. Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor's
Degree and the woman gets her masters.
4. Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring and
suffering.
5. Married life is full of excitement and frustration: In the first year
of
marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. An the second year, the
woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both
speak and the NEIGHBOR listens.
6. Getting married is very much like going to a restaurant with friends.
You order what you want, and when you see what the other person has, you
wish you had ordered that instead.
7. There was this man who muttered a few words in the church and found
himself married. A year later he muttered something in his sleep and found
himself divorced.
8. A happy marriage is a matter of giving and taking; the husband gives
and
the wife takes.
9. Son: How much does it cost to get married, Dad?
Father: I don't know son, I'm still paying for it.
10. Son: Is it true Dad? I heard that in ancient China, a man doesn't know
his wife until he marries her.
Father: That happens everywhere, son, EVERYWHERE!
11. Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.
12. They say that when a man holds a woman's hand before marriage, it is
love; after marriage it is self-defense.
13. When a newly married man looks happy, we know why. But when a 10-year
married man looks happy, we wonder why.
14. There was this lover who said that he would go through hell for her.
They got married, and now he is going through HELL.
15. Confucius says: man who sinks into woman's arm soon have arms in
woman's
sink.
16. When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let
him
keep her.
17. Eighty percent of married man cheat in America, the rest cheat in
Europe.
18. After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin. They just
can't face each other, but still they stay together.
19. Marriage is man and a woman become one. The trouble starts when they
try
to decide which one.
20. Before marriage, a man yearns for the woman he loves. After the
marriage
the "Y" becomes silent.
21. I married Miss right, I just didn't know her first name was Always.
22. It's not true that married men live longer than single men, it only
seems longer.
23. Losing a wife can be hard. In my case, it was almost impossible.
24. A man was complaining to a friend: I HAD IT ALL-MONEY, A BEAUTIFUL
HOUSE, THE LOVE OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, THEN POW! IT WAS ALL GONE. WHAT
HAPPENED, asked his friend. He says MY WIFE FOUND OUT.
25. WIFE: Let's go out and have some fun tonight.
HUSBAND: OK, but if you get home before I do, leave the hallway lights
on.
26. At a cocktail party, one woman said to another: AREN'T YOU WEARING
YOUR
RING ON THE WRONG FINGER? The other replied, YES, I, AM. I MARRIED THE
WRONG MAN.
27. Man is incomplete until he gets married, then he is finished.
28. It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still
ends
up with the same boss.
29. A man inserted an ad in the paper - WIFE WANTED. The next day he
received a hundred letters and they all said the same thing - YOU CAN HAVE
MINE.
30. When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure
of one thing - either the car is new or the wife is.
My personal definition: MARRIAGE IS A PUBLIC CONFESSION OF A PRIVATE
INTENTION.
interesting.. it's no wonder people wait until 30+ nowadays..

interesting.. it's no wonder people wait until 30+ nowadays..
stayin' alive! i went to julia's bday dinner yesterday! even tho i was a tad late.. sorry made a wrong turn! haha. but it was fun considering i ate like not even 1/4 of solar's plate and half of a banana foster. It was funny cuz Michael Tang and i were talking about how i received a prank call using a recording of something from "kindergarten cop". i thought it was something from terminator but i guess not. =) "Who's your daddy and what does he do?" HAHAHAHA damn u mike c.! but yeah.. OMG it was hilarious. Michael T. was saying all the lines that i heard on the phone. u just had to be there. "I'm going to ask you a list of questions." HAHAHAH. then Michael T. dared me to go dancing with the workers. i asked what do i get out of it. he said he'd dance too. so we did. haha. it was funny but fuN! oh man. then we went to laguna after. the sky was so pretty! i couldn't stop looking at it. the sand was oh-so-soft like i remembered. we were looking for a tide pool and realized that we're gonna have to get there quick cuz the tide was coming in. but we had no shoes on and there was fugus on the rocks so yeah.. barefoot and fugus don't mix. but it was fun nonetheless. next time imma go there and find myself an adventure!
ouch... i got a headache today. i dunno if it's from the weather or from my fixated eyes on the TV or GBA.. but agh. it hurt like hell.. and with this headache i had to run errands and whatnots. then i came home, drugged myself with tylenol, and took a two hour nap.. and it was gone! but i swear.. this weather is weird. and i've been tired like crazy but from doing what? absolutely nothing except driving?? that's crazy.
missing you.. today one of my errands was to pick something up for my mom at her friends house. it was "pasalubong" [gifts/souvenirs] from the philippines. underneath the completely taped up red and white striped plastic bag was a VHS and a VCD of the funeral that my family and i missed. It made me sad to know that i didn't get to knw my ENTIRE family back home. I've only grown accostom to the faces i saw everyday that i'm there. I never really knew EVERYONE. and now that two of many realtives past away, it makes me wonder how it is that i, a family oriented person, and overlooked them. Just seeing how close my family is back home makes me feel out of the loop in the US. even my family in the US isn't anywhere near the closeness they have in the philippines. i miss the philippines. it was a place where everyone knew everyone and everyone was family. you can walk right into your neighbors house. everyone's doors are open. you'd wake up and yell across the street to say, "good morning." it was a place where no one isolated themselves. there was definitely no room for someone to be shy. and someone was always willing to give food [prolly cuz there were days where they had to go without any REAL food]. there are wide open fields where me and my cousin would drive jeepneys straight through. ahh.. the good old days. and my family back home is SO big! everyone over there has at least three kids in the family.. my cousins are have kids so that breaks down the family tree even more. so in total i prolly have over 50 relatives all concentrated in manila and in the province. so family parties are HUGE. too bad the last reunion wasn't a happy one. it was a gathering for a funeral. =( sometimes it makes me wonder, what if the person i see everyday [mailman, neighbors, friends, family, etc] isn't there then next day? that means i just missed another chance to show them how much i appreciated them just being there. sometimes i wonder, do i ever take people for granted? if i have, i'm deeply sorry.

saturday fun! ahh.. so day started of with a manicure/pedicure and ended with take home food. so i woke up roughly around 8:30 AM (bah.. waking up that early was HELL). had appt. @ the nail salon @ 9.. oh.. and my mom goes first so i wait until 10). then i had to go to the mall to buy a dryer from Sears.. then buy a card and gift for the bridal shower. then i came home to wrap the gift. I dropped my mom off at her friend's house for the bridal shower and then followed a LONG road to Rowland Heights (ok.. i know it sounds like i'm desperate/needy/whopped but he needed a ride to get to Jenn's surprise bday party. and no one wants to miss that!). Then picked up mom and off to 30 min. of piano. then PARTY! woohoo! it was funny tho cuz practically everyone parked on different streets. then jenn's mom asked christina and me to take pictures/video. as she was approaching the door, me and christina dashed to get a better view of the door.. but stoopid us we were SO obvious she looked at us funny. people were lagging on the "surprise" too. haha but she knew already... it's ok! we still had fuN! we had ping pong tournaments (more like a buns of steel workout with jas)! damn.. pictionary was fun toO! how the hell do u draw "feel"? draut.. drought.. samething! haha CHINA WALL can pass too ok? ;) i like the all play tho.. that's when it get REALLY intense. egyptian was funny cuz liezl n celi were grabbin them like crazy! ahh.. good times. and i came home with some food for the family like a true filipino! haha
splish splash went to trinity's house today to have some seafood alfredo/KFC/big COOKIE from Mrs. Fields and soak my feet in the little inflatable pool. that water hose was alive! it was squirming in the pool while i was trying to fill it! it got me wet! and i was wearing a white shirt.. how sad was that?! but doode.. it was jumping out of the pool and everything. like in cartoons! then while i was in there computer room a roach climbed onto the table and i squished it. the guts oozed out. it was gross..
how do u feel? man.. i've been perky lately but tired. it's weird cuz i'll get moments where i'm REALLY happy/hyper.. then i just mellow out and think. and it's about random stuff like 'when am i going to have a paradise vacation?' or 'i'm not bitter. y are they bitter?' ... most especially i think of school and how it's gonna be like and who i'm keeping in touch with. It sucks cuz my bday's in the fall and it's like.. who's gonna be able to make it? everyone's going off to college and all.. I only know a hand full of people that are FOR SURE going.. heck.. i need to start making invitations.. but with the number of people i told.. only a handful can go for sure. why does my bday have to fall the day most colleges start.. bah. then it's that whole who is willing to come back and visit me in cerritos? i'd definitely go to their school and visit them if they invite me cuz i definitely HAVE to sleepover.. so it's more of.. who'd WANT me to sleepover?? but u know.. if people who i thought were friends really turn out to be only temporary friends.. i can't do anything about it. At least i was given the opportunity to meet and chat with them. I remember one of my old friends telling me that friendship is a two-way thing [i spill my feelings, u spill your feelings]. if it goes one-way, it's not gonna get anywhere. it's a friendship that's left to die. one person can't just isolate themselves either and just sit in the corner waiting. no one wants to wait for someone who doesn't take initiative (that must take GREAT patience). and it pisses me off how sometimes i come off like that when i don't really mean to. it's like i hear things about me "oh. she's too busy." "she never goes out with us. excuses excuses." u know.. i'm sorry i had things to do. i'm sorry i never called you. but don't go talking behind my back and making up stories when you don't know even the HALF of it. if u knew me well enough and if u were a good friend.. u'd understand (or at least i'd hope u did/will.) just remember.. for a successful friendship u have to give to receive... if not. the one always giving will feel unwanted and pointless to be there.
