wow...my last day off - gone. jeez...i can't believe my weekend's just flown by! today was pretty cool, got to spend time with some good friends, happy birthday to tita del - Kris's mom. good party, and hopefully she had a really good time, she deserved to have fun! she's pretty crazy, she's a party girl! woohoo! haahaa...it's cool. anyways, yeah, after paul and i dropped off monica and aj, then paul dropped me off at home cuz he had to go pick some stuff up from home for after mass. anyways, yeah, we ended up just meeting at church, then we after mass chi, daddy, and i went to dinner at Buko mmMMMmmMmm...and that's all i really have to say about that. haahaa...it was good. yeah...so after my dad dropped me off at st. dom's cuz i had left my car there, and i visited paul and the guys who were playing ball there. paul said they were winning, but dude, when i was watching - they were just sucking it. but yeah, i stuck around until paul's game ended, then i headed home so that i wouldn't miss charmed! haahaa...dude, i'm just totally proving the point of my being a total couch potato! it's terrible, i know - just terrible! so yeah...anyways, i went home and watched charmed with Kookee before paul got here (my house), and we watched the season premire of ALIAS. dude...i saw the series premire of alias this afternoon cuz they were having a marathon on channel 19, and dude...i was hooked, and i got paul watching it too...haahaa...crazy. so yeah...anyways, teen came by later, and the three of us chilled for a while before they decided to head home. it's cool, it feels like forever since i've seen teen! it's pretty saddening. but yeah...it'll all be worth it in february after she's finally graduated, and passed her boards, hopefully then we'll get to spend more time with her! woohoo...anyways, i better go, it's getting late, and i need to go to work tomorrow - shit, i'm about to start 5 days straight, but then again, i better look on the bright side, at least im off again next weekend! woohoo! okay, time to get some rest...byebyebye!

so back to blogging...hmmm...today was a pretty busy day. umm...where to begin? well, i got up at 9 this morning to get my ass to the gym since i haven't gone since tuesday (terrible, i know), so mika, grapes, and i headed off to the gym at about 10 - it was pretty cool, michelle and grapes have both never been to the one in pasadena so it was a new experience for both of them, and it was cool going with my "girls" for once. i usually end up either going by myself or going with paul, so it was something different. anyways, after that michelle dropped me off at home, and i kinda just chilled until paul got off work at 1230 cuz we were gonna go to rj and cheryl's baby shower today, and the shower was supposed to be from 12-7, so we figured if we were late it would be cool cuz it was gonna be until late anyways, so yeah, paul got to my house at like, 1245, and dude, i was nowhere near ready...it's terrible, i was curled up on the couch being a bum. my ass was totally falling asleep too! haahaa...so...yeah, we both ended up just taking a nap until like, 2 when i decided to get my ass up and get ready. its funny. we ended up getting to mikey's house at like, 3 o'clock - and only anna and phil were there (well, they were the only ones of my friends that were there)! it was terrible! but the games were fun - good job to lilan, trish, cindy for planning the games, they were totally entertaining! dude, these people really know how to throw a party! tons of food, party games, giveaways, and lotsa Nsync on the cd player! haahaaa...but yeah, it was cool. i'm pretty happy for rj and cheryl. cheryl looks really happy, and i know rj's pretty excited about his coming son. dude, the boy's not even here yet and he's already got 7 pair of jordans i think! crazy, huh?

anyways, we had to leave the party around 530 cuz i had a WYD REUNION tonight, and dude...that was cool. it's been like forever since i've seen all of them in an enviornment where we could just sit and talk. yeah, i still see most of them on wednesdays at confirmation, but it's different, especially with kris and i being on a totally different team. they're all first year leaders, and kris and i especially don't get a lot of time to talk to them since we're both second year leaders, but it was cool. i'm really glad i got to know these guys, they're really fun to talk to. they're cool. so yeah...we had dinner at islands, and after we had decided that we wanted to go watch a movie, but since i had to go get paul at the house (he was meeting me there after running some errands), i told louis to just call me when they decided what they wanted to do - they didn't call, so paul, Kookee, and i just ended up going to see a movie by ourselves. we went to see SWEET HOME ALABAMA, and that movie was soooo cute...and i agree with Ivy, Reese Witherspoon is really beautiful. she's got a really classic look that i think is beautiful...so yeah...we saw the movie, and now we're home...it was a good day - busy, but good. i got to spend time with all the different groups of people that i love most...

i love wednesdays...it's one of those days when i get to, as monica put it, "share my light for all the world to see". last night was a pretty kick back class. i know that my talk wasn't the best last night - dude, i ended the class like, 10 minutes early! - but i think the fellowship was really wonderful. like, Ivy said, she was really feeling "it" last night, and despite a few snags here and there, i really was too. aside from spreading that light, i love wednesdays because that means that it's LC NIGHT!!! to be honest, i'd totally love to go to another restaurant every wednesday night, but i wouldn't change anything that we do cuz of the conversations, fellowship, and friendships we share and nurture each wednesday night. spending time with the LC regulars (tanya, herbie, mark, randy) really means a lot to me, and i just love spending the time with my friends...they really help me know myself, and teach me more and more about that whole light spreading thing. they're the best...i love those guys...so yeah...that's all i wanted to blog...maybe i'll think of other things later...

wow...today was my day off, and to be honest, i didn't really do anything. well, i didn't really want to. first of all, i didn't get up until 1230! can you believe that? it's been like forever since i've had the chance to get up that late! yesterday i had been thinking that i wanted to sleep in, but there were a lot of things i had wanted to do, like go to the gym, get my car washed, etc, but the call of sleeping in was just too strong! haahaa...i woke up like, 4 times between 7am and 1230, but i just was like, fuck it, i'm gonna sleep! haahaa...terrible, huh? anyways, i still did get to get some stuff done. i picked kookee up from school a little early today, at 2 cuz she had a half day today, and then we headed out to get some errands done. i went to Eagle Express and got stamps and mailed out bills, then headed out to Toys R Us to get the baby shower gift for this weekend...and let me just say that i think it's pretty cute. too bad it wasn't on the registry list. dude! those registry lists are so confusing! they're supposed to tell you what's already been purchased so that the baby doesn't end up with a bunch of the same stuff, but dude - i know michelle and shawn went to get their gifts yesterday, and the stuff mika said they bought was still on the list! what's up with that?! that's crazy, so yeah...i found something else that i thought was cute...so i got that done, and plus i finally got jay's gift too. now all i have to do is figure out what the heck im gonna give michelle yap...oh! by the way...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE!!! to a good friend - a sister, i pray that you may be blessed with a great, wonderful, blessed year...i love you girl!

hmmm...yeah...that's pretty much my day - oh yeah, and then kookee and i babysat my cousins AC and AJ - i was looking forward to not having to spend that much money today cuz lunch only cost me $5 for me and kookee, and then we were planning on eating here at home, but nooooo....i ended up having to buy dinner for the 4 of us! terrible, huh? oh well, whatever...okay...i better go to sleep - i gotta force myself cuz i NEED to be on time to work tomorrow, shit, i've been late every day since i came back from Pinas! haahaa...terrible...so yeah...i'm outie...byebyebye

well, if you all take notice, i'm bloggin late! at HOME!!! but No - don't start getting excited for me thinking that my computer's fixed, cuz it's not. since paul didn't have time to finish fixing my computer, he decided to just let me borrow his lap. so yet again, i've got myself a pretty cool laptop. woohoo...i felt bad though. now he doesn't have anything to play with when he's at work, but i guess it's okay cuz he should be studying anyways, right? yeah, i'll just keep telling myself that so i don't feel bad. haahaa...

anyways...nothing really interesting has happened...ummm...wait...when was the last time i blogged? hmmm...saturday...so what happened since then? ummm...Saturday we went out to celebrate my good friend Jamie's birthday so the whole crew decided to head out to Century Club for a little thang thang...and it was fun! haahaa...i had a really good time, and it looks like Jay really did too, and i'm just really happy for that. jay's being happy was all that really mattered though...so yeah...hmmm...what else?

oh! sunday paul and i had dinner at buko after mass, then we met Henry and Michelle Starbucks before going to see that movie Ballistic: Sever vs. Ecks. That movie was eh...the plot really needed a little more work - well, a lot more work actually, lots of plot holes...terrible. oh well. whatever...but it was cool. and yeah...OMG! you won't believe what i actually did today! i finally went to the gym! haahaa...i haven't been to the gym in like forever! i'm so proud of myself...

okay, that's it, nothing left to report...im bored of blogging...byebyebye!

so everyone...what's up? shit...i can't believe it's been so long since i've blogged! haahaa...nothing very interesting to report...but let me re-cap what's happened to me this week...

TUESDAY:
well, it was my first day back from pinas, and how did i spend most of it? doing absolutely nothing. haahaa...well, hmmm...i ended up waking up at like, 11am to talk to teen, and mark, but then i rolled my ass out of bed to go and chill with the familia - yes, more time with mom and dad. and then it was back to just chillen...until about 2 when paul came by to pick me up. we ended up just doing our usual - our blockbuster runs! haahaaa...we did a blockbuster run and then headed to pick up kookee, after had a quick bite, and then headed home to just chill. it was nice...i'd miss my best friend and it was nice just chillen with him...so yeah...and then we had dinner with drew at elephant bar...that was cool too...

WEDNESDAY...

THE FIRST DAY OF CONFIRMATION!!! it was a really good first class. i'm really proud of my team...they're great...they were really wonderful with the kids that night. really loving, and caring, and hopefully inspiring...hopefully this year they'll teach the kids more and more this coming year. i loved it! yeah, my talk wasn't the best thing, it was kinda boring actually - probably, but hopefully i got my point across, and the kids will start to discern where they want to be, and start making their decision of faith...im just really excited about the coming year...and i was really happy to see my friends again! PLUS! LC!! woohoo...it was a really good night of conversations, sharing, and friendship....i love them...it was good to be back with them...

THURSDAY:
i was a bum...haahaa...i stayed home after work cuz i was so excited to watch the OFF CENTRE premire...i'm a geek

FRIDAY:
Kookee and i went to see MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING...dude! don't you just hate it when people talk during movies? yeah, i know sometimes i make comments during a movie, and shit, i know that's normal, but fuck...do people have to like turn their bodies and have like whole conversations when the people around them are trying to watch a movie?! dude! the lady sitting next to me during the movie had like half her body turned to the woman sitting next to her, and they we like having, full on conversations! it was ridiculous! i was getting so irritated! i was ready to kill the biyatch! jeez! i hate that shit...oh well...whatever...im getting over it...

so yeah...that's an update and basic run down on my life this week...not really that interesting, huh? well, maybe tonight will be interesting...we're doing a big birthday thing for jay tonight...so yeah...hopefully it'll be fun...so yah...that's it...im gonna watch LIFE AS A HOUSE now, byebyebye!

hi everyone...well, now that i have some free time before i have to make my ass go to bed, i decided that i should tell you all about my wonderful trip. it was cool. it was really nice being able to see a lot of my family again. i think that was really one of the best things of my trip. i got to see my lola again, eventhough she doesn't really remember me - which is very, very saddening to me. she's old and she has alzheimer's disease, so she goes in and out of the "right" state of mind, so that was kind of a downer, but nonetheless, i got to see her, and it's been 3 years since the last time, so i'm very glad to have gotten this chance. another person that i was really happy to see was my cousin chino. it's been 3 years since i last saw him too, and dude! he's just like kookee!!! haahaaa...it's funny. it was nice though. it was nice to have the chance to talk to him and get to know him better. plus! as an added bonus i got to spend time with nino! haahaa...i've missed the little rugrat! haahaaa...it was really nice getting to play with him again...

hmm...aside from seeing family we went to a lot of really nice places...first of all, we went to this resort in palawan called Club Noah it was really beautiful. that is totally a place where you wanna go on your honeymoon or something...it's beautiful and peaceful...it was great...we got to go snorkeling, and scuba diving, and a whole lot of other boating/water type things. dude...i don't think i can emphasize enough how beautiful that place was. and yeah...the people were so nice there too...it was cool....and yeah...im tired of typing...and i need to get ready to head to bed if i have work at 0630 tomorrow...so i'll blog more again soon hopefully! it was a good trip, but im really glad to be home...i've missed everyone!

so let me just tell you know how come i haven't blogged in a while (haahaaa...like two days is such a long time!), dude, i've been getting a blue screen of death every time i try to start up my computer - piece of shit. damn it. so i haven't been able to do anything on it. dude! i'm leaving for the philippines tonight, and i still have so many things to do! haahaa...well, not really. i need to make one more check on my luggage - to make sure i'm not forgetting anything - i have to go to the bank and withdraw money - dude, cleaning out the accounts! and...i don't know...i have to pick up Kookee from school, buy stamps to send out my bills, and...yeah...get some rest before the flight leaves? yeah...that sounds right...OH! i know what else i have to do! i still haven't emailed Kris with the stuff for Confirmation that i need done! haahaa...i need to get that done today too! shit. oh goodness...i know, i know, i've been lagging, and not having the computer at home hasn't helped either!

anyways, dude, i can't believe we're leaving for the philippines already! i remember the planning stages, when we were just talking about going! i remember trying to convince paul to come with us, and connie finally deciding that she wanted to go! haahaa...it'll be her first time in the Philippines...dude...i'm gonna be hearing ric's voice in my head the whole time we're in pinas saying, "hey - the buddy system guys!" haahaaa...don't worry ric - we won't lose your girlfriend! at least i hope not! haahaaa...but yeah...i can't believe it's already that time to go, and i don't have any money! haahaaa..i'm gonna be so broke! jeez...but hopefully we'll get a lot of good stuff out there! but wow...i was telling aileen last night at dinner (at Scarantino's...MMmMMm...) that i haven't even left yet, and i'm already starting to be homesick! haahaa...pathetic, huh? i'm gonna miss my friends, im gonna miss my bed, i'm gonna miss the SDYM-ers cuz our first official team meeting for confirmation will be when i'm gone...i'm gonna miss everything - i'm gonna miss my bed! haahaa...but yeah...at the same time, i'm pretty excited. i'm excited to get another stamp on my passport, i'm excited to see my lola, i'm excited to spend time with my cousins - nino and chino, i'm excited to be away from home and work for a while...but when i think about it, i think, it's not so bad, i'm gonna be gone for about a week and a half - it'll be fun...

before i end this long ass blog...

i wanted to tell Monica thanks for your call last night, it meant a lot to me...you're a wonderful friend, i love you, and i'll miss you while i'm gone - don't forget that i'll be thinking of you and praying for you...you're like a little sister to me and i love you...

MOCHA!!! i read your blog this morning, and girl i miss you too...take care of yourself while you're in school, and i'll see you on the first day of Confirmation...

Kris, Mark, Tanya and Herbie and the rest of the SDYM-ers...i'm gonna miss my friends...take care, i'll see you when i get back!

Kookee take care of the house while i'm gone, behave, and try to make new friends this semester (AHEM!)...i'll miss you too, but i'll probably talk to you, huh?

Paul, i'll miss you - and NO i'm not gonna call you! haahaa...YOU call me!!! Kookee will give you the number! take care of my cousin okay? and don't miss me too much! haahaaa...

and if anyone else wants to get a hold of me...haahaaa...you can text me once i get my cell number there! haahaa...okay!
