HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

it's officially been a year since i've lasted updated. many of you probably figured i was dead, but little did you all know i was just hiding. a lot has changed since then. number one, i'm no longer living the life in so. cal. it's all about norcal. speaking of san diego, i freakin miss it. i miss the cousins, the beaches, the trendy folks, and the midnight trips to super sergios. oh how i love the taquitos and carne asada fries. it seems like only yesterday mel laughed at a.j and made him cry. you never make a backstreet boy cry! NEVER! how dare you mel! anyhoo, join me in sharing some of the memories...

the cousins came to visit. it was sad to leave my home in the bay. but you can always count on familee to cheer u up. (opey's in the mirror)

our feet in the sand. why you ask? because we're freakin awesome!

since my move back to the bay, things have changed. but hey, that's freakin life for you. at this point, my life is pretty routine. work, home, deep. mel got me a cool job at her old job. thanks mel! i love you! i started off as a contact lens technician and moved up the ladder. i'm now the office manger. go rica! oh ya! me, my brother, and my sister also moved into an apartment in downtown san jose. its pretty spiffy. we've got 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. a pool, gym, and a cool kick it spot by the office, which we never go to, but yah. the neighbors upstairs are freakin loud. they like to play snoop dogg's "drop it like it's hot" at 3 in the morning on a monday. they claim that its ok because they're college students. whatever. but its nice living on our own with no parental units. its just us three... and my sister boyfriend. i didn't know him at this age so it's kinda hard to include him...

living without parentals has been pretty difficult considering no one really knows how to cook. we try, but are unsuccessful at times. me and my sister have considered buying cookbooks, but we haven't gotten around to doing so. it'll happen. one day. but i do miss the home cooked filipino food. especially pinakbet and sinigang (i think that's how you spell it) on a good note, i've been able to go out more without getting yelled at by my madre. (i miss her. and my fajah too) on thursdays, i've been religiously hitting up club deep downtown. me, my sister, mel and a couple of my sister's friends have been attending 3dthursdays. it's pretty fun. there are actually a lot of regulars. it's pretty popular on myspace. personally, i think i'm soo into that clubbing phase, but hey, who cares?! i'm having fun. that's all that matters. i just can't wait until monik turns 21. then we'll take her with us....unless she finds an id ahead of time... if you're bored check out their website: www.3dthursdays.com. in the mean time....

$3.00 kamikazes. you can't go wrong

we're camera whores. we like to take pictures while in line.

yup...that's us. the deep club rats....the regulars

that's pretty much the latest news in my boring life. i recently went to the maroon 5 concert on thursday with cousin mel and cousin mo. it was awesome. it helps to know the album. you can sing your heart out during the entire concert and bother the people next to you, but fuck. i had fun! i'm down for another concert. who wants to come? possibly greenday? yay? nay? here's a picture from cousin mo...

we were high up there, but there faces were pretty visible.i think i have good eyes. the lady to the right of us was jammin! just imagine your mom rocking out to maroon 5...i wanna go to a concert with my mom!

a few things i miss:

my mama and papa....

my elk grove g-units

the rainbow bridge crew

and i really miss the cousins. can we all be together forever please! thanks!

yay! andrea's coming! maylene you must follow! i love you guys and oh how i miss you all!

one more thing before i end this long ass post....

IDIOT.

for some reason, the week seems to be going by hella slow. but of course, that's coming from my mouth. the girl whos life is a count down. for now, anyway. but it seems slower than usual.

school was pretty good today. i missed 9 on my art test leaving me with a C grade for the multiple choice part of the test and most likely an A for the essay part. my teacher reminds me of the that one cast member on Mad TV, Stephnie Weir. if you saw her you'd think so too.

i got my test back in econ, and i passed. yay! and oh yes, in psychology we were learing about personality and its different traits. our teacher, who is a major perv if i  might add, asked us about 5 traits we would want in our life partner. in the book, the top 5 were:

                            1. mutual attraction- love
                            2. dependable character
                            3. emotional stability and maturity
                            4. pleasing disposition
                            5. men- good health   women- education an intelligence

my top 5 were:

                           1. loving, mutual attraction
                           2. honest
                           3. motivated
                           4. dependable
                           5. sense of humor

that's not too much to ask for. most people in the class agreed that looks attract you to them, but it doesn't matter in the long run. i agree. i'm there and then some. no need to shop around! ain't that right haole bubbas! love you! muah! 10 points for me! anthro was great too. had a meeting with my group. i'm pretty lucky to have a very helpful group. i know you guys disagree with people that think they're just in for a free ride. fuck that. and i think i'm done.

ah yes! today marks the one week and one day anniversary of me not smoking! congrats to me. yah, yah. its only a week, but it sure beats 2 days. i've only smoked for a year, but thats a year too long. props to me!

on another note, i really miss my cousins maylene and and andrea. i haven't seen them in about 4 or 5 years. thats pretty frickin long! they both need to drop what they're doing and come pay us cousins in cali a visit!

and one more thing. i recently caught up with my geometry buddy, mark, online! hi mark! we had fun times. he used to sport my name on his jacket! how cool of a friend is that! hopefully we get to hang out when i move back. it was nice talking to him once again.

end.

"is there anyone out there 'cause its get harder and harder to breathe"

have you ever felt like you were trapped in a box and you couldn't get out? its the most beautiful box, but it doesn't spark your interest in any way. well, it does. but you just don't care to be there. every single angle is beautiful, but you'd do anything just to get out. you can hear what's outside this box, but you can't be part of it. its an ugly world out there, yet you'd much rather be there than stuck in a beautiful box filled with nothing, but protection. the top would open, but the rope thats in there is short a few inches. hearing whats outside only brings your spirits down. you constantly question how long it'll be until you get out. get out for good. and when you finally know, the days seem to get longer and longer. you find yourself sitting there doing absolutely nothing but look at the clock occasionally. not occasionally, constantly. ever other second. when luck decides to come your way, someone will open that box reach out to you and pull you out. the outside world is great. its like a drug. its so addictive. and before you know it, you're back in that box. it felt too good to be true. but it was. while lying in bed, you make a list in your head about all the things you're gonna do once outside the box. and before you fall into a deep sleep, you pray that when you wake up, you'll be outside. but of course when you wake up, you're stuck. in that beautiful box.

i need someone to take me back. now.
