Go Away; Come Again Another Day

I'm usually very fond of rain (for a lack of a better term). Who doesn't admire the rain when it's so romanticized? Today though, it's a different story. It's just -- I've been running around the USC campus; back and forth, back and forth. See, for the past semester, I've been on AP (Academic Probation). Yeah, it sucks. In fact, there's a really good chance I could get kicked out, but I'm a trojan. I will FIGHT a good fight to stay in the school long as I'm getting a free education, know what I mean?


The thing is I have to gather up a whole mess of signatures from counselor after counselor. Then I have to run to the other side of campus to register at our registration office. My English adviser forgot to give me a form that requires me to see her for the 3rd time this week so that I can get my 16units.


This makes me feel so determined though. Come on, I'm running back and forth in the rain with a coat and a big tote bag trying to redeem myself from the hard work I've been lacking? That doesn't even make sense!


YIKES.

The past few days has been amazing. I feel some part of my dying, but it doesn't hurt. Hopefully, you redeem yourself before I give up all hope.

You're kicking me in the behind

Yeah, I don't think anybody knows how I feel right now. I guess that's a little hasty, but I hope no one feels the way I feel right now. The 4 day weekend felt great; it's always nice to get a good break away from school and work, but the work load that followed after it was just horrible.

Since Wednesday last week, I have not been back to school. I skipped school on Monday to recover from the adventurous weekend; Tuesday I stayed home to finish a paper that was due the day of (I hate ending the sentence with a preposition, but I don't know how to rearrange the sentence). Today I skipped again to stay home and finish a paper due for Thursday (tomorrow). I will feel the most relief tomorrow after all this hustle and bustle is [temporarily] over.


I spent 10hrs. on a paper yesterday, and just started writing this second paper about an hour ago. Then, I need to revise both papers, adding, deleting and editing certain parts. TEDIOUS.


Sometimes I wish I'd gone to Whittier instead due to its convenience. If I knew I wasn't going to dorm or house near school, I would have thought about my options more deeply. Sure, i get a full ride to USC, and I do NOT take the for granted at all (at least I try not to), but it's so difficult to maintain the grades when so much time is lost in 1 day. First of all, at Whittier, it's more peaceful: quiet. It's a smaller more personal campus that I was already accustomed to driving and just MINUTES away from my home.


I'll stop complaining though.. USC is amazing and I'm glad to have the bragging rights of ever attending the school even though I'm on the verge or getting kicked out despite my hard work. UGH it's so depressing. I need a rejuvinating weekend. How about the girls get their nails done!

Roll Call!

Anti-flag is playing a benifit show against violence on November 27 (Tomorrow) at the Glasshouse. It's a good cause, I'm so down. I doubt I'd be able to make it with all the work that I have.






I got tickets (2) to see Straylight Run, The Color Fred and Dear and the Headlights For November 28th at El Rey Theater, LA. I was really hoping for the Glasshouse Show November 29th I believe it is..

Four Years Strong is playing with From First to Last, Vanna, Pierce the Veil and more. That should be fun.

More goodies to come. I can't wait..

Back Ordered

So it seems as though I've been too busy with the holidays and the past three birthdays, including mine to have finished my homework. I am backed up for the next two weeks. I've got two papers due this week, registration (which I've been lagging), and a paper due next week -- not to mention that I have to complete four comments to forum threads posted about our readings in one of the classes I'm enrolled. A lot? We'll see.

Anyway, I had fun the past 5 days. So if you don't see me for a few days, you know where I am and you know where to find me.

It's been a while since I've encountered a great filipina singer in a while. GREAT. And she's pretty too. Jonalyn Viray. Better than Regine Velasquez and she's sooo cute. I can't get over how cute she is. She just turned 18 and she's SO GOOD. I hate the filipino channels, but I'm glad that for some reason I'd come across it.

Man's best friend

Am I a man or woman? More man more woman? Neither man nor woman? I've been wondering that for a while now. If I title this blurb "Man's Best Friend," am I included in the word man? I hope so. Cause I'm keeping the title.

You've heard it everywhere: "Dog: Man's best friend." Sometimes dogs really are best friends. Pet dogs great their master, play with master, know who's master and respect their master. They never judge, never question, never complicate. When no one else is there, they are without prejudice, etc.

I'm going to miss benny.

A lot of things have made me realize that things won't work out -- almost always for me. Partly because I'm super-logical, that I don't let anything that doesn't make sense slip through my brain.

Last night was the drunkest I've been since the first time I got drunk and threw up everywhere. I'm proud of myself though. I DID NOT THROW UP :) I just felt really dizzy and unable to handle. In which case I took a nap. aha.

Thanks for the drinks :]]

THANK YOU!!!

A big thank you to those of you who put tons of effort into my birthday. The cake, the location that you chose, the gifts and to all the people that were arranged to come.



Special thanks to the L&O Family: Brian for creating the idea, Debbie for organizing and filling in with Matt because boyfriend couldn't be there; Vince for blind folding me and driving me and making sure I didn't cheat, and Justin and Darrell for leading me the way in :]]] Lots of love <33


I haven't been home since I turned 21, so I haven't been able to post anything about it. I am very thankful for everyone that's in my life.

Some of my friends are going through hard times right now; it's unfortunate that it had to be around the time of my birthday. I really pray to God that they're all doing okay. Yeah, it was a real eye-opener so I'm glad that I was able to learn something during my birthday instead of getting filthy drunk, unable to comprehend what was going on. I was available for the people who needed me. I feel great.

Anywho, thanks again for the people who came out. You guys all really surprised me!

Here's some evidence to the incident that occured 11/22/07:


Brian: The Mastermind<33



Debbie: Co-Mastermind<3































































The Girls. Ironically, birthday girl's not it in. :[


The End.

Well not really. A lot of things have happened. I swear.

I turned 21. We Karaoked. We celebrated Thanksgiving/my birthday again at Vince's. We camped out and I spent a fortune. Nancy's Birthday happened. Mark's mom is sick so PLEASE PRAY.

And I'm tired.

I have a lot on my mind... But don't feel to share. :)

Can't believe you stole my goodies

I know it's extremely early to be running my mouth. Nothing's happened yet.
But last night I'd discovered something intersting:
The person who stole my purse/wallet/goodies used my credit card
four times!

For crissake.
Seriously.
four times?!

I can't even go one time without someone asking me for ID.


3xs at different grocery stores in Anaheim
1x at a gas station

this person wasn't on foot, they were probably parked near us that night.
im mad. people are using my things. why did this have to happen so close to my birthday. it's not great to have to figure these things out during the days so close to your birthday.

this whole thing kinda saddens me. im sad you don't have your own money to use. i'm sad that i lost my purse. i'm sad that i don't have even a wallet. i'm sad for you who might be hungry and used my card at 3 different groceries, but you're abusing it. what do you need from 3 groceries in ONE night?! im sad that i'm being taken for granted by you.

i don't know what else to say


there is one thing left i could say:
my boob is bruised

It's my Party and I'll Cry if I Want to

I've just received news that most of my family will not be coming for my birthday. There's unnecessary drama in my family, and because we're trying not to create more drama, all of my cousins will be attending they're other uncle's get together.

I'm not excited at all this year around. I know I'm turning 21 and all, but what good does that do me when I don't drink much anyway. I guess it'll be fairly easy to drunken me up the night before my brithday cause on another note I do get out super early on the 21st. Any candidates for those who want to hang out with me that day?

Those who don't have anyone to spend Thanksgiving with, can spend it having dinner at my house. It's an option. We'll have yummy food.

rawr.

On my pursuit of happyness

I finally saw it. I finally got a chance to see Pursuit of Happyness. I really didn't know what I was expecting, but I gotta say I loved it. While it made me feel as though i related to the protagonist's family, it also made me realize some of the things I've been taking for granted.

My parents have owned store after store each one selling different things. They've owned a video store and a 1hr photo shop. I believe that after almost 10 yrs or entrapreneurship, my parents had to file bankruptcy with the movie store. Photo business didn't do so well after a while too, and then my parents were left jobless.

I've moved way too many times in my life. I hate it. From Baldwin Park (ghetto) to Diamond Bar (pretty) to West Covina (decent) and back to La Puente (ghetto).

Some of the reasons that I feel I relate so much to the movie is that my father has had to take on the types of jobs that Will Smith had to in order to make decent amounts just to get by. In fact, at this very moment, my father is doing exactly what Will Smith is doing in the movie -- taking up an internship. Only my dad is working at Morgan-Stanley. For four years my dad will intern, gain some salary, and be able to help out my mom who's pulling in one income for 5 kids (one of them having special needs), and my grama. Yeah, tough.

Thinking about my situation makes me never want to spend money ever again. It makes me realize how much of a brat I am, even when I'm not half the brat as most people are -- I just had to add that. HA.

The movie makes me realize that life isn't easy nor is it fair. It will never be as I've been shown so many times already. Sometimes I just want to slap some people in the face for their ungratefulness. You'd think that after I return wallets without stealing, or returning cell phones without using, and advising when friends need advice, that I'd get that in return. Maybe not now, but I'm sure God has something great planned for me later on. I promise not to expect it though.

And now all my points seem irrelevant. Does this make sense? Ugh. I gotta get back into blog typing mode.

Oh yeah, help us try to get www.afyds.com out by word of mouth.
Check it out &ask me or brian about it!

I've Been Tired and Unispired.

Today though, inspiration was reinforced upon me via Debbie. Upon reading her blurbs, I've decided that I too would like to discuss things I strongly have opinion for. Thus the birth of my blog. Yippeee.
