And the BEAT goes on

i just found out that it's also my auntie Leni's bday and my cousin Esperanza's bday. very interesting. well.. today my mom, sis, and i went to buy flowers and went to the cemetery to visit my grandma. i felt bad cuz her grave was so lonely. after the cemetery, we headed for the mall to watch "Looney Tunes: back in action". unfortunately i missed to beginning because my mom and my sister wanted food. i had to wait inna line that took FOREVER. damn people and big orders! wutever. and after waiting for like 15 minutes, i brought the food back only to watch my sister spill the whole bag of popcorn. great.. just great. after the movie, we went walking around. i ran into abby again. talked about people.. future.. boys. lol. then headed home to meet up my dad so we can have that 23rd anniversary dinner. we were going to go eat at knotts berry farm.. then we decided to go to claim jumpers... THEN my dad busted out a coupon and said, "It's cheap at Black Angus." hahah. silly dad. he gave my mom 4 roses. then my mom started joking about how he used to buy her dozen roses and take her to a restaurant without worrying about how much was spent. but now it's 4 roses and a coupon dinner. silly parents. for some reason, people kept on looking at me today. wut.. do i have something on my face?? i dunno wut it was but it made me feel self conscious. at the same time it was amusing. the guy who sat us at our table kept on looking at me and asking me questions as if i was the head of the family. then the table across from us kept on looking at me.. and u know the booths in black angus. they're round booths so i was kinda facing them. there were two guys and one girl... that would not stop glancing at me. how do i know they were looking? the guy told the girl something, pointed his head towards my direction, then the girl looked at me.. then the other guy with is back kinda towards me turned around to take a glance. ok.. really now. is there something wrong with me? blargh wutever. but that was the fastest dinner my family has eaten. i ate only 3 baby back ribs. BABY BACK.. solar was laughing at me for having such a small stomach. bleh. i was suppose to go stop by jennifer's party but i ended up not going. i don't really know her that well anyways. if anything, i'd be going because i'm with one of her best friends. i don't want to be a hassle and hold him back from catching up with her for her bday. i ended up snuggling up with a pillow and watched Santa Clause 2... which by the way i WISH happened to me.. well.. not literally.. but the christmas magic that happened.. the sleigh ride.. the mistletoe.. yes. i'm a sap for romance. shut up. welp.. gotta start working on the SILVER WEDDING (25th) ANNIVERSARY for my parents. good luck to me.. a 19 or 20 year old girl pulling off a wedding. ah.. and the maid of honor (aka worry wart) begins.... during the summer of 2004. ;)

the most eventful day of my life is today... well.. eventful, meaning, a lot of celebrations today. today's my mom and dad's 23rd church wedding anniversary, my grandma's 81st birthday, and my old piano teacher's ("HAPPY SAM") birthday. blog more later.

aww.. today (friday) i went to the post office to drop off some bills and buy stamps. the lady that sold me the stamps was so perky! she really brightened up my mood. she got me in a better mood than what my day started off with. first she asked how i was going and i answered ok. and u? and she said that she was glad it was friday. Then she said that she couldn't wait until she got off work to go home at relax. and i said that my class got cancelled today. so she said, "Well you should go out girl! You need to go shopping or watch a movie!" I said that i should cuz i haven't inna while. she said that we all need a break from the harsh realities of life and stuff. then she was talking about the stamps that i chose to buy and how it reminded her of home on the indian reservations. so that was cool. Then i actually did go to watch a movie. we watched "love actually." it's a really cute movie. i suggest u go see it for the holidays. but i don't recommend bringing a little kid.. definitely stick with 17 and above. after the movie, i grabbed food at home and went to go watch "On White Off White" at CSULB for dance class. i liked the last performance. reminds me of the dances i'm used to watching... similar to dance drill stuff. it was ok. and yes.. that was my day. ;)

this day seems sooo gloomy. my sister's at el capitan in hollywood watching "Brother Bear" for her field trip while im at school, at this very moment, waiting for jonathan to get out of class... i'm so jealous. i don't even have school today. i SOO could have went. but no. The Archdiocese of LA said that i have to be 25 years old to chaperone. damn. and i was all excited to turn 18. they have better field trips than when i went to fatima. wut's up with that?! and watch a disney performance after the movie??? OoOoO.. we went to IMAX Theater in the 7th grade. but dude!! $16 for a bus, food, a movie, and a performance. BLARGH! and it's these moments where i was a little older (just so i can go to el capitan and all that for 16 bucks) or in the 2nd grade. *sigh*

on a better note, KOST is playing CHRISTMAS SONGS!!! wooohoooo!! this is what i look forward to at the end of the year. it just brings all familiar feelings and cuddly warmness. time to bust out the christmas decorations, blankets, and hot cocoa (or Caramel Apple Cider from starbucks. ;9 ).

HAPPY 5th MONTH! i woke up around 7:40. i went to go wash my face when my mom said to listen for her phone while she's in the shower. Then she asked what time it was. right when i was done washing my face the phone started to vibrate. i was confused when i heard the alarm instead of her ringtone. i went to check it and it said "emi and solar loves each other for 5 months. love you both!".. OMG.. then i heard her laughing as she made her bed. apparently, she was bored during her lunch break yesterday and made memos and reminders on her phone. she's weird... and that's y i'm glad she's my mommy. then i picked up jonathan early so that bora, jonathan, and i could plan our schedules together. we ended up watching the big screen. then i walked the boys to class and headed to the library where i have internet access. then i went to my math class. after, nicole and i ate while watching a band from san fransisco. she paid for my lunch! she's soo nice! damn being low on cash. >=( then we went christmas shopping in the bookstore! haha. they have some pretty decent stuff for gifts. While looking around, we found a book that talked about sex. they splitted things up in chapters, sections, and topics. there was a sections on kissing, undressing slowly, full body massage, etc. i just thought it was hilarious what kind of stuff it talked about like lubricants, toys.. and yeah.. then i found a book on seduction in different languages. it's like stupid pick up lines that were translated in different languages. "you might want to call your mom to let her know that you wouldn't be able to come home tonight." ah hahahah!! i think imma do my christmas shopping on campus. ;) at least for some people. i ended up running errands. luckily it included going to karla's house! aww i miss her! then i came home.. tried watching my dance video.. fell asleep.. ate dinner. then right when i was getting comfortable in my chair playing freecell (yes, i'm a nerd), my doorbell rings. so i open it thinking it was my dad coming home from my sister's parent meeting. to my surprise it was solar! =D yay! we went to get gas for my car and then some starbucks. we got starbucks for free!!! woot! today's our lucky day: 5 months and free starbucks! woot!

you make me smile! =D

i was suppose to go to lunch with bora and felix today, but bora forgot cuz he has to take "maryanne" to the shop. tsk tsk. so we had to reschedule. lucky, i had errands to fill up my time... =/ yay. then, i went to get a facial today.. cuz i needed one badly.. and my mom said that it's about time i did.... so i went. i have to admit it's soothing when they massage.. but some of the stuff stinks. yuck. it felt like it was burning my nostril hairs. considering i only had two hours of sleep last night due to my procrastination, i thought this facial would be relieving. and it was... because i fell asleep when they were putting on the mask stuff. then i woke up to a stiff face. then i had an ache in my back because i was laying in one position for too long. after they washed it off and cleaned my face and put more whatnots in it, i felt refresh! but now i'm soo tired.

that special time of the year is coming again! ;) it's the holiday kristen and i LOVE! i get all hyped up for christmas because i get see christmas lights and christmas trees... and family.. and presents! i have to start making my christmas shopping list. but seriously, i don't know what it is about this holiday that gets me all googly-eyed and so.. giggly. maybe it's the love that's shared and just the overall spirit of it. there's also a unique warmness that the holiday brings to me. sitting by the fire, cuddling under a warm blanket with hot cocoa and christmas music playing in the background, playing in the snow.. even though i don't have snow and a fireplace here.. it's just nice to think that i actually did. and i love decorating the house for the holidays. i love waking up to the smell of a christmas tree... i love the hustle and bustle of christmas shopping. ack, and there's this side of christmas that i always fantasize about. every since i was a kid, i've always thought about the sweet, romantic stuff. like taking a sleigh ride while its snowing lightly.. going ice skating in rockafeller center and tripping each other.. going up to a cabin .. and i always say to myself, one day when i'm older and supporting myself... if not with a special someone, then i'll go with a bunch of my best buds! trip to big bear! woot! it would be nice if this happened sooner.. but i'm still under parental supervision. blargh. ONE DAY. hey maybe next year! ... geez, i'm such a sap. ok.. now for that christmas wish list.

this weekend was pretty fun. friday night and saturday night were probably the most interesting nights of my week. friday nite, solar and i rented "analyze that" and "just married". oh and my mom's blockbuster card expired so i had to apply for my own. hahah so the guy handed the form to solar and solar started to fill it up. for my bday he putted october and asked me if it was on the 25th. great.. he doesn't remember my bday. hahahah i thought it was amusing actually. i thought he knew i was amused because i was laughing but i guess he just felt bad. it is a bad thing. i forgive him. ;) i'm just never going to let him live it down! mwahahaha *cough* ha.. hahah.. ha.. well anways.. then i started to fill up the rest only messing up the form so we had to get a new one. i'm amused at how stupid we both can be.. forgetting bdays and not reading instructions.. tsk tsk. at least i have membership to a video store now. so phan, amy, and i could have our movie nites! ;) we watched "analyze that". it was an ok movie. i had to lower the volume during one scene cuz of all the vigorous humping sounds and the mini-me was still awake. i closed my eyes for a good minute or so.. i heard everything... but not clearly. so i was on my way to sleep when i felt someone looking over me. haha. i was tired... the bloopers were funny.

then saturday, i ran MAJOR errands for the dinner my mom was cooking that night. my mom promised solar a crab dinner. then my aunt called saying they were going to stop over, so my mom ended up cooking 10 crabs and adobo (filipino dish). yummy crabs! we didn't wait for my aunt and my uncle (and my cousins) so the family, solar, and i ate dinner early. besides.. our table can only hold so many people at one time. then, we watched "just married". cute movie! i got pissed at that peter guy.. then i got misty eyed when they reunited. aww how sweet. watched the clippers vs. magic game.. clippers won! ;) then the extended family came. chitchatted with marissa for a while my other cousins were being anti-social. i don't blame them, i'd wouldn't want to go to someone's house after having a lousy day at disneyland... then again.. it's DISNEYLAND! i never have a lousy time there! but it was rainy.. and cold.. and windy... not the perferred weather to go to an amusement park.

sunday i ended up staying at home most of the day.. only went out to buy cake mix and to church. i washed the camry. then solar stopped by with his dinner from kfc. not long after, diana and her bf allen came to stop by before they head over to the movie theater then back to uci. it's nice seeing the faces u're used to seeing day in and day out. then watched zoolander with solar. lol. i think we watch too much tv. haha oh well. ;)

and that was my weekend

i just realized that this wednesday is going to be a lonely day. but i shouldn't complain cuz some people have to deal with spending those special days apart from their special someone. what more if i was put into my friend's situation. her special someone lives 6 hours away and they don't get to see each other as often as they like. it's not the longevity of a relationship that matters. it's the emotions, the energy, the romance, the understanding, and just the whole experience of it that make relationships worth something. but i have to admit, i enjoy celebrating the day. :) but i guess the following month will make up for it. it's christmas season by then! wooo!
