yay!!! i'm off tomorrow!!! i'm so happy! let's just hope that it doesn't rain...i'm getting ready to be up for a day of fun! woohoo...i was thinking about changing my layout, but there's no way that i'm up to doing it. i don't know why, but i'm in such a lazy mood...lazy, lazy...i know...i wasn't really even up to bloggin, but i thought i might as well...oh well. im outie...i'm heading off to bed, or to watch tv or something...

posted at 10:11 PM

wow...i was just reading Kris's blog, and i was like, "whoa", just like i was when i read Mark's! they're looking great guys! wanna create a new layout for mine! haahaa...you're giving me reason to change mine finally! well...maybe...i'm still so lazy, but both of yours look so good, you just make me wanna give mine a face lift too! oh well...

anyways...as i was reading Kris's blog, i was thinking, jeez...a lot of people must read his blog...it seems like no one really reads mine...but sometimes that's a good thing right? oh well...but it's cool...that just means i can be more liberal with what i say, right? haahaa...

just one more day...one more day and i'm off! woohoo!!! tomorrow we're off to Universal Studios, so if anyone wants to go, just call me up!!! it'll be fun!!!

wow...just one more day...i think i can, i think i can...that's what i keep telling myself to get me through the week...woohoo...it's almost friday!!! thank God! finally! jeez...this weeks kinda been taking forever...but it's cool...wednesday is practically over, the hump day is over...it's almost friday...my day off...i'm so excited...we're gonna go to universal studios...hopefully that'll be fun.

anyways, today was a pretty cool night...it started off pretty slow, kinda bad actually...i took a quick nap when i got home, then i headed out to St. Dom's for our Confirmation meeting just to find out that we weren't really gonna have a meeting - no one at the office would give Mary keys to any rooms! terrible, huh? so we decided to have the shortest meeting ever, and that was cool...but then after the meeting it took us forever to figure out what the heck we were gonna do! jeez...finally kris decided that he wanted to go to Starbucks, and that was that. that's what we did...but then on the way there i got the bright idea that i wanted to go to bj's and get some pizooooookeeeee....and geron was down too, so after we met up with them (kris, margie, gabe, ivy, bobby, monica, jorge, marvie, krista, jason, mark, and chriselle) at the marketplace and got them all organized (which took forever) we headed out to bj's...and that was the best. i haven't really gotten to talk to them in the longest and really get to know them, and tonight really wasn't much of that, but it was a lot of fun...a lot of jokes...haahaa...good times guys...good times...thanks...i'm off to bed now...i have tons of other thoughts but i'm getting sleepy...i'll blog more another time...bye all!

so i actually went to walk with drew today...jeez...that was a looooooooong walk. it's cool though...i don't think i could do it by myself, with no one to talk to. i think having someone there makes the time go by faster...so it's cool...but yeah...that's it...i better go, i don't have anything interesting to say...byebyebye

posted at 10:31 PM

wow...i was really planning on heading off to bed early tonight to try and catch up on all that sleep depravation that i've been having cuz of the retreat this weekend, but i guess that's definitely out of the question, so i decided i might as well blog before i headed off to bed...well, i didn't really have much to blog about, but tonight made me really think. i just had one of my super long ass conversations with rey...he and i are so different, yet we seem to understand each other in such an uncanny way, it never ceases to amaze me...thanks for the talk rey...i've missed that...let's do it again soon...

in other news, only 3 more days until my next day off...3 days and counting...

I'M BACK!!! did anyone miss me? haahaa...probably not...but in any case, Mark, i'm sorry i wasn't here this weekend with you to let you know that you're loved...cuz i love you...i missed you this weekend! i really wished you could've come...(let's just leave it at that, huh?). so, yeah...we missed you this weekend...

anyways, since i just got home, i wanted to share with you all about my retreat experience before i headed off to bed, and lost a lot of my thoughts...wait...i guess i could just sum it up in pretty much one sentence...

my group is bomb!!!

yeah, of course, i'm biased. i know, i know...but i am just really, really happy with the way they opened up to each other, it was a beautiful thing...

i hope i'm not forgetting something. i just finished packing a little while ago, and you know when you have this feeling that you just can't shake that you might be forgetting something? well, i'm feeling that right now. hmmm...i already feel like i've got so much shit that i'm bringing and i was just talking to Kris and i was like, "damn, i'm barely bringing anything compared to him!" haahaa...he's a total chick...overpacks...haahaa...well, at least he'll have everything he needs and he won't have this nagging feeling that i'm having. oh well...God will be with me - i hope...i'll blog again when i come back! have a fun weekend everyone!

posted at 11:17 PM

OMG...i just deleted all the shit i just wrote! damn it! oh well...anyways, as i was saying...i don't wanna bring all my shit on the bus with me, damn, i might lose something...maybe i'll just leave it with tanya, and have her bring it up with herbie...that sounds like a good idea, doesn't it? haahaa...i like it. i hope tanya goes by st. dominic's before we leave. i hope - cuz if she doesn't - fuck. i'll have to bring my shit up on the bus...damn it. oh well...whatever, i'll find out on friday, maybe i'll talk to tanya tomorrow...i dunno...

anyways, i have to plan 2 talks can you believe it? i have to finish getting my talk ready for saturday night at the retreat, then i need to plan my talk for wednesday...can you believe i haven't given a talk in 1st year at all this year? amazing, huh? i've usually done about 3 talks by now...that's pretty good, huh? it just means that we've got a bunch of competent leaders...finally...thank God! haahaa...

jeez...i think i see paul way too much...haahaa...j/k paul...no, i 'm not...dude...i love this guy, but i think i've spent every day off i've had with him in like the last month...and i was just thinking...it's so cool to have a best friend that's always there for you, you know? i don't think i know what i'd do if i didn't have him...i get really, really, really bored and lonely not having someone to kick it with, and luckily for me, he's always down to be there, to go out, or to just "chill it"...plus he spoils me...haahaa...i'm really lucky...how many girls can tell their mom that they're going to san diego for the weekend with a FRIEND, and have her mom completely trust them...it's cool. paul's family...shit, he could sleep here if he wanted - in my bed even, and no one would worry - shit, i wouldn't worry, i'd know it's cool...i'm lucky...paul, if you ever read this (which i doubt), don't ever think that i don't appreciate you, cuz i do...i love you dude...you're the best best friend a girl could have...

ok, i'm sorry i was so random...my thoughts are random...ok bye!

jeez...it's only wednesday...terrible...it seems like this week is taking forever...sorry guys i haven't really feeling the bloggin thing. last night i had class - shit, it's a good thing i remembered! it's spring break at Woodbury, so i totally wasn't thinking about class, then thank goodness i remembered that i started my short term class at pcc this week! i had totally forgot! terrible, huh? oh well, it's all good. i made it. it's cool. anyways...yeah

today, paul and i took Kookee to Universal Studios to get her actual annual pass, and i was like, "paul, we're gonna go to universal after we pick kookee up from school", and he was like, "alright, cool" but what a dumbass...he forgot his season pass...haahaa...so basically we went to universal to get kookee's picture taken, and to buy paul new sunglasses (at citywalk)...what a waste of $7 for parking...haahaa...oh well. it was fun anyways...alright...i better go, i wanna watch the smallville tape before i give it paul tonight...take care all...maybe i'll blog more later...maybe...

i really miss working at night. today i worked from 12-830 and it was really cool. it's kinda the best of both worlds, you know, you get to come in late enough that you get to sleep in, but no too late that you can still get out early enough and do something after - no that i did anything after work today, but watch the disney movie with justin timeberlake...i know, i know, i'm a dork - anways, as i was saying...yeah, its like the best of both worlds. aside from the time, i get to chill with both the day shift and the evening shift, and i really miss kicking it with the night shift...they're really cool. i miss olivia and henry and them...yeah, i still see paul and henry all over the place, cuz we chill and stuff, but for some reason, work is where some of the most intersting conversations happen. i don't know why...maybe it's cuz we have nothing better to do, but i don't know...

woohoo...ariel's working on the SDYM emails and stuff and it's working...looks like i may have a new email address soon!!!

posted at 2:25 AM

i'm really upset with Gerald...it sucks when you trust someone with something that's really important to you, and they flake, or dis you...it's just not cool...

okay, so i'm at work, and i don't wanna be here...you don't know how close i was to calling in again. shit, i've got my doctor's note, i could've taken the day off, right? i'm so lazy...and congested...it sucks to have to be somewhere when you feel so stuffed up...terrible...at least when i went to st. dom's it was only for a short period of time...there and back, no big thing...

oh by the way, thanks monica for the talk last night, it's been a while since we've talked, i've missed it...you're great, you really are...you remind me of why SDYM and Confirmation is so great - good friends, deep relationships, and people who are always there...thanks...i love you girl...

let me just say, We Were Soldiers...good movie...it was a really touching story...i liked it a lot. Kookee said we would all cry "for sure", but the only one bawling was, of course, Chi. Who else? We could totally hear her ass sniffing through the movie, but it was cool, the movie was good, i finally saw my sister's apartment, there, you can't say anything anymore chi, i've been there, and had a really good conversation with paul...it was a good nite...

woohoo! i just got kick ass *NSYNC TICKETS for cheap!!! i'm excited...i did good (or alright at least) on my 1st Management test, and i'm going out with a good friend...it can't get any better than this!

i'll blog more later!

posted at 8:27 PM

okay...well, i didn't blog last night, wanna know why? cuz my ass fell asleep. i don't know what's up with me, but for some reason, if we rent a movie, and we watch it in my room - forget it, there's no way i'm gonna stay up to watch the whole thing. haahaa...Poor Paul, he was like, "wake up!" but there was nothing he or i could do, i was out. haahaa...i think he woke me up like, 5 times during the movie - we rented Rat Race. right after the movie, paul was like, i better go and let your sauce ass sleep...and it was only 11! haahaa...i am so sauce!

anyways, we had a pretty kick back afternoon, when i got off of work, i decided to call Tina cuz i haven't talked to her in a while - i miss that girl, so teen, if you're reading this...i hope you finish your finals, do great, and don't forget that we miss you!!!

yeah, so anyways, after talking to teen, i got ready to go to mass, and yeah, paul came and picked me up and off we went to church. OMG...do you know how long it's been since i've been an EM (Eucharistic Minister) at church? I never could finish the actual training, so from my understanding i wasn't supposed to EM until i finished training with this lady Jeanette - dude, can i just say that she's scary? i don't mean to be disrespectful, i'm sure she's a woman really filled with the Holy Spirit and all, but jeez...she's kinda mean. but yeah...anyways, so, yeah, maureen was like, we're short, i need you, so i couldn't say no...i had to say yeah. but dude...i was like, where am i supposed to go? haahaa...oh well, God was watching over me, it went alright, i didn't trip, i didn't drop anything, it was cool...so yeah...

Saturday, March 02, 2002

jeez, it's saturday night, it's only 10 something, and i'm dead tired...don't wanna do anything. terrible, isn't it?

well, first of all, i didn't get to sleep last night until about 0230, cuz after the movie (we saw 40 Days and 40 Nights with Josh Hot-nett (haahaa...they called him that on the cover of TeenPeople on month) and after dinner at Hop Wood, it was pretty late already, and guess what time i had to wake up this morning?! guess...paul called me at 0515 for my wake up call, but guess what, right after i hung up with him, i told myself "just 10 more minutes", and that 10 became 20 - terrible, again, huh? i had to rush like crazy just to get myself to work on time, and i did. woohoo...no being late for me thank you. shit, i bet i just jinxed myself...

anyways, after working - or being at work - i got to head home for about an hour, and then it was back to work again, only this time i wasn't getting paid for this work, well, not me directly. i hdeaded out to st. dominic's to help randy with dinner that they were serving to help raise money for our WORLD YOUTH DAY 2002 trip. damn, it was tiring. i thought when i quit actually serving soup suppers, and actually being in charge, i thought that meant that yeah, i'd have to do dishes, but dude, not this many - jeez...why were we the ones who were left to clean up? terrible...i'm so beat, but it was intersting. i got to kick back with some kids i've never really talked to before, it was definitely a learning experience, but it was fun...

i'm about to nod off...nite all...yeah, i know it's early, but i'm tired...

posted at 10:22 PM

sorry that last post was so long...i'm just bored here at work and figured i might as well do something productive...

posted at 2:19 PM

OMG...i'm such a dumb ass...i don't know what i did, but i just deleted everything i had just typed...so here goes again...

well, can you all believe that i did not touch my computer, or any computer at all yesterday?! amazing, huh? it was just a jam-packed day yesterday that i just didn't have the time. terrible, huh? well, it all started with breakfast at pete's with paul, then we headed out to Universal Studios (yes, again), for another exciting day. it was pretty cool, paul and i hit all the shows (that were open) that we didn't get to see when we went on sunday. we had fun...I got to meet Shrek guys! haahaa...he's taller in real life...(j/k).

Anyways, after heading out of Universal, paul and i had to rush to get Kuki from school on time - we didn't make it, too much traffic, but we got there eventually. we dropped off her friends and then headed home. i had originally intended to just drop them off, but then i realized, "shit, i'm gonna be late for soup supper!" and then i thought, "fuck it, i'm not in charge this week, i'll get there when i get there"...woo...what a relief, i haven't thought like that in weeks, and it's a nice feeling to finally feel like that. i don't know...yesterday i realized that kids just stress you out. maybe i won't ever have my own...yeah right, i certainly hope i have some of my own! anyways, i digress, last night was a trip, so many things went wrong, yet, so many things went well. isn't it weird how God does that to you sometimes? amist all the bad, you just gotta throw in some good, right?

BAD: I was sooooooo late getting to St. Dominic's
GOOD: Mark took care of giving out some important announcements
BAD: Some lady (aka: bitch) complained about some of our servers
GOOD: I didn't have to handle it, Krista did it without even being asked to - what a way to step up - Go Krista!

... and the list goes on...but i guess overall, even though Soup Supper/Youth Ministry stresses me out so much, i could never give it up. i could never give up the friends i have there, i would never trade the (good) times i have with them, and i definitely would not trade the bonds that we've made...i love getting to know them over and over, growing with them, and learning more about myself from them...i could never give it up...
