The past few days have been interesting.
A lot went on yesterday though I won't go into detail.
I was EVERYWHERE.
I drove to school, didn't go to class (there was a good reason)
Drove to Chino Hills, visited Scott and had lunch with him. Then I headed over to the park where I day dreamed and sat under the cool shade watching kids play and swing, envying them haha. Met with Beeh at Panda Express at the village, had lunch with him, talked. Then visited Lisa on her lunch break at the west covina mall before heading back to LA to pick up my mom. Traffic was horrid. Got home at 630. Hair dyed. Looks good. Then got a few coctails.
Lisa and I found ourselves last night at the macaroni grill bar at 930pm. Amazing. It was our first time going out like that to sip on some cocktails. I like that word. Cocktails. Mmm. Yeah, Good people. Cute bartender. The older bartender, Bill (who's served me before) helped us pick out great drinks. Delicious. Two drinks on the house, and all that came out of my pocket was the tip. More than enough too. I gave 5, but Bill left a 5 for us as well.
It was a fun night full of good conversation.
I fell asleep, didn't change, didn't get ready for bed. I woke up at 630 feeling great having slept so well.
:]
Azusa show tonight.
Love love love love..

being a good girl pays off
I earned $50 the past weekend for house sitting.
Saturday evening, I had Beeh over for tea. Delicious.
I cleaned the house like there was no tomorrow.
My parents came home 1AM monday morning and gave me 20 for fuel and 50 anything-i-want to do with cashmoney. Feels good to find solace at home. I've been home for the past week or two. It's divine.
Dinner tonight with Debbie, can't wait!
Great game last night. lakers won. kept me on the edge of my seat. so good.
Why do people who are awesome hated?
People think I hate my job, but I love it.
My supervisor is amazing, why must she be hated by everyone?
Seriously, you'll find that USC sucks balls. They really do.
Everything is governed so politically, and people are just so full of sh*t.
And then here,
this makes me day any day.

Food for the soul.
Home cooked meals are great.
I have always loved to cook, and watch people cook.
Last night I helped Soch's family cook dinner.
My help probably wasn't the best, but I feel like I did my part.
I killed the crabs, and cut the onions.
I held the butcher knife down on the chest of the crab
as he used his iron fist to mantle down and stab the crab in the heart.
We watched as it squirmed helplessly. Then we cut the crabs in half.
Dinner was grand. And seeing some people I haven't seen in a while -- grander.
Life's been great.
Homework's been kicking ass, but I've caught up to it and kicked it's ass back.

Highlights of 2/11-2/18
Monday the 11th. Left school to visit my doctor. Something wrong with me. I went in, received a check up, got a shot, and went over to the lab for a blood drawing. Results in 3-5 days for blood and urine sample.
Nothing extraordinary happens the next few days.
Thursday the 14th. Un Chien Andalou was shown in class. Amazing silent film portraying ideas of surrealism. Fine day. Skipped second class, went to "work." At work Shauna and I talk for 2 hours -- no work. I wait with her to be picked up. We talk about life. S. Men picks me up, nap, sushi and arby's date. Beeh comes to visit. Rocket Science.
Friday the 15th. Ill. Did not go to classes. Long weekend! Montclair, truck falls of the freeway pinching another car - a spectacle. Dinner with Albert, Joanne and Beeh came out with us. Victoria Gardens more beautiful than I rememberd. $27 cigar passed between Albert, Beeh and I. Food coma-knock-out both me and Beeh. Made good with youtube and snes. Sleep.
Saturday the 16th. There will never be a more party than the one Lisa and I went to. BORING. Early arrival home. Alone. Rocket Science.
Sunday the 17th. Joanne's family part for grama's birthday. Studied at bucks with her for an hour. No productivity. Smoke sesh with Pugo. I did not. Video games.
Monday the 18th. Lisa got stood up at Banana bay by old friend. Poppin music. DSlite :] Whooped ass at guitar hero. Visited Mark. Watched the amazing slam dunk contest.
My life's not boring one bit.
Not one bit.

untitled
The last post is pointless. I really like the coat on her. It's a fine coat, very cute and very petite. It's affordable, but not my size thus I won't waste my time on it, but I have already by posting picture of it. I spent last night brainstorming my essay that's due tomorrow. A short one, not much thought needs to be put into it. Most likely my procrastination is rooting from a long vacation away from words. I spent the rest of the night watching a movie and lounging with S. Men.
A fine day.
Gloomy and cold today. On the day I decide to wear shorts the weather changes from fairly hot to cold. Luckily I brought a nice coat. Classes are well and I'm anticipating tomorrow. Tonight I have much to do. Write a short paper and work out. I visited the doctor recently and found I'm overweight for my height. I won't disclose how much weight I've gained because it's pointless -- i will rid of it in at most 4 months that's my goal.

justine in reverie
Let me begin with today and move on to last night's description.
Not much has happened today, but I've created something scrumptious.
I got a phone call from Lisa (I wanna say this morning, but it wasn't) at 130 saying we'd go to the beach around 4p. When asked what she was doing, she was waiting of food that Martin was making her. "What is it" I asked. She said his infamous tuna melts. Sounded great. I decided to make my own.
I gathered up the ingredients. I figured I'd make a tasty tuna salad which included the following: mayo (i hate mayo so i didn't put much, but just for the sake of moisture), diced onions, relish, and cranberry.
IT WAS SCRUMPTIOUS!
pair that with tomato soup and you're set.
Now, I wait to go to the beach happy. My stomach is also happy.
Oh man, as much as sooo many people had fun last night, I think we're all equally as lazy to even post any thing about it.
I mean, it was a double decker bus ride with 50 of your friends, driving around LA, making occasional stops, driving swiftly on the freeway.
It was magical.
It was fun.
I was the only sober one.
I began to feel lonely, then Pat came and cheered me up by just talking.. talking about school and life and it makes me happy when people are happy, especially Pat. haha.

who's to blame?
you're strong.
i'm not.
our relationship(s) could be seen as something good -- something that balances out.
we balance each other out.
then again
when you're strong
i'm not.
when i'm strong
you're stronger.
when you're stronger
i'll back down, because i'm weak.
You speak and I am quiet. Sometimes your voice is heard too often. You may say more than you intend on saying and then I wouldn't have fulfilled my duty of arguing for or against the matter. Who's to blame?

Never give up.
Aren't those eyes amazing?
This baby represents the strength that we all have within.
People should never give up even in the midst of the worst stroms.
I don't know where I am!
I'm in love.
Yes, it's true. I'm in love with Reece Thompson.
<3
&I missed my first class today :/
What is wrong with me?!
Don't be smart, and think to yourself: "everything."
I went to sleep at 1115 last night. I should have woken up way early.
I actually did -- 6:38a, but fell back asleep.
Then I woke up at 7:30a, actually got up at 7:45ish, and left the house at 8:15/8:20a, and didn't get to my campus until almost 10!
My class starts at 9:30a.
I'm a mess.
Okay, so I've used up my "free 3"
I no longer can miss class, unless I want to ruin my grade through means of being tardy/late/absent.
HELP ME.
UGHHHH.
Okay. I'll make the second one, and never miss the other one again!
I can do it. I can kick USC ass.

Milano.
2 more reasons why today (yesterday) was so great:
- one. dim sum leftovers from my parents' lunch date consisting of hakao, shio mai, and those blanket thingies with the soy sauce on it (:
- two. quick, but totally progressive work out!
I'm not looking forward to my meals today and on Fridays.
LOL.

What are we living for?
UPDATE 1/5/08 1:04pm:
As I drove off in the first flush of the morning, I was able to see that today would be a good day. No -- not a good day, but a great one. Everyday has a lot of potential. I am the creator. There were no doubts in my mind that I would create myself something beautiful today. Although I'd missed class, I would compensate the "waste" of a drive by "unwasting" it in visitng the venerable places of downtown LA.
I drove by notorious China Town and snapped candid photos of pedestrians walking the streets; I zoomed passed the grand Alameda Union Station and found myself amongst an aggregation of unique individuals walking through Olvera Street. And there exists a place I have not found the time to re-visit: the Cathedral. I had to stop by, say a prayer, venture through this mysterious reservation. I conquered. I feel glorious today (:
Here I am now, at work -- I arrived 15 minutes early, have the whole office to myself. I'm feeling productive, loved, and I'm listening to great music. Just chillaxing (as kids say these days).
Peace.
literally.
---
If you can, or if you're interested, I suggest you vote!
I won't be. I'm too far from my polling place which probably closes at 5 is it? or 7? Either way, I won't be home in time to vote, and I didn't really study up on the props. I can't vote in the primaries.. so there you have it.
I skipped class today.
It wasn't that I was too lazy to go, or that I didn't feel like it.
Living in La Puente, having to commute and wake up for a 9:30A class is difficult. I mean, I got up at 8 and left right away. I still didn't get to school on time.
man.
Well, I made my way over to school anyway just to use the computer and hang out for a few minutes. I think I'm going to use my day to go driving around LA. My plan is to go to church for a bit at the Cathedral. I haven't gone in a while, it'd be nice to hang out with the big man (if I can get parking).
Then I have work at 12/12:30p.
I'll be in the office alone, holding down the fort while my manager and her manager and all the people that belong to this office go out to lunch. Poop. Oh well, I can have fun with office supplies and my computer.
That's all i got for now. I'll write more later. Gotta start the day early!
Oh yes, let me share this with you:

Pandora's Box
Has life gotten boring?
Maybe just a tad, but I'll leave mundane in the dictionary, and squeeze something out of this stir fried brain of mine.
First thing, I hate that the school newspaper only has ONE sodoku puzzle per week.
I have sodoku puzzle books at home, and just recently I bought another one, but I keep forgetting to bring it around with me. Oh, me. No sodoku till I get home. boo babaloo.
Secondly, tomorrow is Super Tuesday. Who's voting?
I know I can't vote in the primaries because I'm declined to state. I guess I could vote on props, but I haven't even researched all of them yet. Maybe it's safer not to vote in my case because voting ignorantly might just cause not make a difference. If anyone wants to review the props tonight, let me know!
A lot of interesting things have actually happened to me in the past week -- things I'm not sure I should disclose here, but it's safe to say that I've settled these mind-boggling quandaries.
NOTE:
I'm an open book, I'll tell you everything I know. If you've got any questions, I've got answers. I don't take offense to things too quickly, so ask away. Don't assume. I'd enjoy a sit down over some coffee. I have the time. Bring the blanky.
I just don't understand how people can jump to conclusions so easily and begin spreading these thoughts that aren't fully developed. It just seems so sloppy to me.
Question everything. I think the most important thing about any argument that you might have is your evidence and backing. Please, get the story right first and then you can talk all you want. For all I know, I like the attention. (:
Wow. This blog is all over the place. Hopefully you follow.
I've noticed that I am a justifier. I justify everything I do -- who doesn't. If we all didn't believe that we were good people, we wouldn't be able to justify anything we did. I just realize that I overly justify the things I do and the things I know. To hell with it, I've made mistakes; I'm making mistakes right now and until I do something about it, I can't really say I know what I'm doing (personal note).
I'm here in the library and hour early for my classes. I've forgotten my phone in the car, so excuse me. Someone might just be calling me right about now!

I'm Tired.
First off, I'm still hung over from last night.
But I'm proud of myself for still coming to class.
Physically, I'm weak. My headache and stomach ache is gone, but I feel so crappy.
Spiritually, I'm tired too.
I feel like I've been walking for miles now.
I've been crawling, galloping, walking, running, and everything in between for about 21 years now. The past year, I'd gotten tired and shot down so many times, but knew that the road doesn't end.. it hasn't ended. And I know it's not going to end for another couple decades. Everything I find on this road that I'm taking, I pick up, clean up. I really try my best to get through these obstacles I encounter. I think it's safe to say I've been good about that.
If you've seen Big Fish, you probably remember the part where the protagonist, Ewan McGregor's character, takes a different route to that village (I forget it's name). He takes the more dangerous route knowing that the outcome is always better in the end. No matter what comes out of this route, Edward Bloom (Ewan McGregor) doesn't stop. He continues his journey -- doesn't let anything get in the way. As he exemplified, it's not easy, but we always have to remember to keep moving.
"Sometimes it gets to hard, but I just keep on moving."
I'd gone through so much, and I feel I've "grown up" a lot these past few weeks or months. I work really hard for the people I love and for myself. I am an honorable person, but people choose not to see that. As much as it is easy for me to say I'm a little vexed about this problem, I'm okay with it. People can try to break my faith all they want, but I won't give in. I know that I've done so much already, and you can't take that away from me.
Yes, I deserve some dignity.
I deserve better treatment, and it hurts. It really does to know that my efforts go unnoticed, but what does it matter when those who really care and know me including myself know that I've done such great things so far in my life.
Thank you for your support, those who give it.
I really appreciate it, and I'll try my best never to take that for granted.
I've been really blessed to have relations with you ;p
haha.
what are we 12?!
I really mean it though. I love you guys.

He takes the more dangerous route knowing that the outcome is always better in the end. No matter what comes out of this route, Edward Bloom (Ewan McGregor) doesn't stop. He continues his journey -- doesn't let anything get in the way. As he exemplified, it's not easy, but we always have to remember to keep moving.
"Sometimes it gets to hard, but I just keep on moving."
I'd gone through so much, and I feel I've "grown up" a lot these past few weeks or months. I work really hard for the people I love and for myself. I am an honorable person, but people choose not to see that. As much as it is easy for me to say I'm a little vexed about this problem, I'm okay with it. People can try to break my faith all they want, but I won't give in. I know that I've done so much already, and you can't take that away from me.
Yes, I deserve some dignity.
I deserve better treatment, and it hurts. It really does to know that my efforts go unnoticed, but what does it matter when those who really care and know me including myself know that I've done such great things so far in my life.
Thank you for your support, those who give it.
I really appreciate it, and I'll try my best never to take that for granted.
I've been really blessed to have relations with you ;p
haha.
what are we 12?!
I really mean it though. I love you guys.
