Another boring day; picked up my sister, watched cable. The day started to progress when I had cotillion practice and ate dinner while watching "Temptation Island 3". VMAs are on again, so I'm gonna watch.
The only time I left my house today was to pick up my sister from school and then again to drop her off at hip hop. My summer is now officially going downhill. On a happier note, Jonathan visited me before he went to school and after he got out of work.

Jonathan's not gay anymore. He sent me this. I don't know if you can see it anymore though.

Tuesday, August 26, 2003

I got a pedicure today.. it was the best. I did nothing for the rest of the day then my mommy dropped me off at cotillion practice. I went home right after because Jonathan was being gay. The End.

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY MICHELLE! I LOVE YOU!

PICTURES WITH THE HOMIES, friday
So 19 of us took pictures.. I don't have to name them all. The night before was pretty hectic with organizing rides, but it worked out in the end. Everyone was at Chic by 12ish and we were out of the studio around 330. Took a lunch break at In N Out, and also to kill time before the pictures were developed. The girls went to pick out the pictures, ordered, then went back to pick everything up. I went to Sher's house and separated all of the pictures.. ate pizza because Dom treated us all out. Everyone went to the movies, but I stayed at Sher's with Sher and Ellison and played with Hamster. My lovely boyfriend finally came home from work and we watched a midnight movie, "My Boss' Daughter." It had it's funny parts, but overall, the storyline was pretty dumb.

MICHELLE'S PARTY/DARYL THE WEIRDO, saturday
My dear boyfriend had work again, so I went out with the homies again. Sher and Ellison picked me up and they luckily found my house! They didn't want directions because they wanted to find it on their own.. pretty weird. Anyway, at Mich's bday party, we ate a lot, watched "What A Girl Wants" (which is pretty good), and talked neverendingly about Nug and Daryl the weirdos, but mostly Daryl. So, I'm assuming that most of us wipe from the back after taking a crap.. but no, not Daryl or Nug.. they wipe from the front! And if you think that's insane, Daryl uses ONE sheet of toilet paper.. and I really mean ONE sheet.. the TINY ass sheet to wipe his butt after taking a crapola! But he folds it in half first.. haha.. we had a blast talking about it all night until we were tired and finally left. I picked Jonathan up at work.. then refused to take him home for a while because he upset me.. but in the end I took the nerd home.

SURPRISE VISIT/SALUTE YOUR SHORTS, sunday
I woke up pretty early then went downstairs to watch TV with my sister, then a few seconds later, Lisa and her mom were at our house! They were at Costco, and them being bored, decided to drive around McLaughlin and Phelan because that's where I told Lisa my new house was at.. then she saw my car.. and they doorbelled. I guess you had to be there in order to think it was funny. So I watched a lot of cable after they left.. my favorite part of the day was when "Salute Your Shorts" played on GAS. Jonathan came over and we killed time before we had to go to cotilliion practice. Again, hardly anyone showed up, but surprisingly, there were more boys than girls this time. Jonathan and I decided to catch a movie at the drive in.. we watched "Freaky Friday" and I loved it!

BACK TO SCHOOL/SUSHI!, today
It was my sister's first day of school, and it was Jonathan's first day of school, so I was pretty dam bored. But to my surprise, Jonathan didn't go! haha.. he overslept, but I guess it's okay because he only had one class, Bowling, which he is planning to drop. We hung out at my house for a while before we picked up my sister.. hung out some more then picked up Joanne and Tessa at ND.. oh how I miss highschool already! We did some school supply shopping for Jonathan at Office Depot then went back to my house so I could organize all of his crap. Laid around in the heat.. then grabbed some last minute sushi!!!!!! I was pissed before that because I kept losing in 13, but my anger went away when Jonathan took me out for some sushi.. it was great! I watched some "Paradise Hotel" and now I'm in my sister's room annoying her.

Thursday, August 21, 2003

After a rude awakening from Jonathan, I went back to sleep. Later he notified me that he was waiting by the door for me to walk him out.. whoops. Hours later, Jonathan picked me up with his friend Coleen then we picked up Sam at Presentation. There was a little confusion on our way there with Cheryl St and Plummer St. Back at Sam's house, Sam and I helped Jonathan eat his crab by peeling the shells off for him. Then we dropped Sam off at the Ice Arena and watched Jonathan's niece Daysha ice skate. She's so cute.. and she still calls Jonathan "auntie Jonathan" because of me.. haha. We pick up Joanne real quick, get her food, then go to cotillion practice. No one shows up anymore.. shame on them. We ate dinner and played 13, then Jonathan and I left only to find that one of his tires were flat.. dammit. So we went to Shell to pump it up temporarily so he can bring it to the shop tomorrow. We hung out for a bit, pestered my sister at my house, then called it a night.
I didn't do much yesterday since Jonathan had work.. but when he came over before work, we were beating each other up.. just kidding. I was chasing him all over the house because I was mad that he came late so we couldn't watch "Chicago" together anymore. I messed up his hair too, so it looked like a giant poof ball. So he left for work and the cable guys came! whoohoo! I was so excited because I went about 5 entire days without my Disney Channel. I dropped my sister off at hiphop, watched TV, picked my sister up, then the both of us went channel surfing. Jonathan came back from work, hung out for a bit, ate lots of food, attempted to watch "Chicago", hung out some more, then just fell asleep on the couches. He was waking me up pretty dam early this morning! I was kinda pissed but he had to go to work so I had to be awake to tell him where everything was. He doesn't wake me up gently either, he just shakes me until I open my eyes. Hmm.. so I'm bored once again.. maybe I'll watch some more cable with my sis.

Wednesday, August 20, 2003

Instead of helping with the moving yesterday, my sister and I plopped ourselves on the couches (that they just moved in) and watched DVDs all day. Jonathan even went with them to move some other couches.. haha. Before that though, Jonathan napped in my room.. we hung out.. then he ran some errands with my mom and step dad. When they were all finished, Jonathan and I had to go to Great Mall to pick up my mom's "Chicago" DVD. We picked up Ellison and Sher, dropped off the DVD, then went to the drive in. Sher and Ellison hid in the back of the Montero with a THICK blanket covering them so we'd save money..haha. The line ended up being HELLA long and Jonathan and I forgot that they were there. They were hella sweating by the time we parked and everything.. haha.. but anyway, we watched "Uptown Girls" and I thought that it was good. We ate some Jack in the Box, dropped off the two sweating machines, hung out for a while, then went home. Jonathan didn't stay long.. then called it a night.

Tuesday, August 19, 2003

Wow.. I haven't been online for 3 days.. so it's time for an update.

So FRIDAY.. we finally started moving all our stuff to our new house. My mother woke me up at 9am and we started packing boxes into trucks and stuff.. then doing some last minute packing by throwing whatever we could fit into a box. I explored my new house and my sister and I fought over rooms, but we settled it in the end because since I am the oldest, I get first pick.. muahaha.. even though I am moving to college in a month. We checked out some furniture stores then went back to my old house to rest. My cousins and I just watched "The Cheetah Girls" Movie on Disney.. then that "Circle of Life" music video by the Circle of Disney Stars.. both were pretty cool. At night time, I went back to my new house with my sis and 2 cousins, and we watched DVDs til we fell asleep.

SATURDAY, I fixed my room some more then Jenna came over.. we got ready for the cotillion then we headed to Daryl's house. Daryl drove us to the cotillion and my oh my... it was BEAUTIFUL. Nicole's cotillion was by far the best cotillion I've ever been to, and I've been to A LOT. The decorations were perfect, the entourage knew the dance steps, even the CAKE was perfect! If you're reading this Nicole, good job! I chilled in the lobby with Angela, Goodrich, and Mike.. then we headed to the rooms with the rest of the court and sat around and talked and blah blah blah. Mariel took me home, but my mom was at my old home, so I got dropped off there. I waited for my mom and aunt to pack more stuff, then my mom dropped me off at my uncle's house to sleep because I didn't want to sleep at my old house without my sister. So I fell asleep in Charlie's bed.

SUNDAY morning I woke up at 713am because Jonathan texted me that he was FINALLY home! Oh how I missed him.. but then he kinda got me into a bad mood by mentioning something about a cotillion.. anyway.. I went back to sleep and when I woke up again, Charlie and I ate french toast for breakfast. Then I drove myself home since my car was there and I showered and waited for Jonathan to come over. I was even more mad at him because he was LAGGING. When I was walking down the stairs, I didn't even recognize him because he was so freakin dark! So we went to the mall to buy presents for Diana.. and then went to Danielle's house to meet up with everyone before their bday bonfire. While we were waiting, Jonathan showed me the presents he got me from Hawaii.. he's the best! We also made a lot of food runs before leaving for Seacliff. When we finally get there, it's FREEZING cold.. like SUPER freezing.. and the majority of us were wearing shorts and beach-y clothes.. except for me who knew it was going to be cold since bonfires are usually held at night.. and night is cold. Jonathan had a nice warm blanket and we plopped ourselves in the sand.. 30 minutes later.. they light the fire.. and we all just chill. I got kinda pissed during the bonfire because some people are just jerks.. but anyway, Sher came with us on our way home and we dropped her off.. we went down for a while to go pee and play with her pet hamster named Hamster. Jonathan and I hung out for a while since he was gone for an entire week.. then got some pearl drinks at Coffee Lovers. We went back to my house to play with my sister and he gave me MORE gifts! The both of us were arguing for about an hour because of the decal he got me from Hawaii.. I didn't want the word, "Maui".. so I modified the sticker, but he wouldn't let me have the sticker unless I used EVERYTHING, including the word "Maui". It was a hula girl decal by the way.. blah blah blah. I'm too lazy to type the rest because it's a long story, but we finally got the decal on WITHOUT "Maui". It was 2am by the time we were finished so we called it a night.

TODAY, I woke up early and talked to Jonathan.. he came over and then we dropped off Diana's gifts at her house, but before that, we went to Jack in the Box to buy her a Big Cheeseburger. Then we went back to my house and Jonathan cooked spam for my sis because she was hungry and wanted spam. Jonathan wanted to eat spam too, but he can't without ketchup, and we didn't have ketchup, so we had to leave to buy some at Long's. We ate.. watched some "Lord of the Rings" stuff and hung out.. Then we all went to meet up with my mom at UHaul.. then something about Jonathan's credit cards.. so we drop off my sis at home.. go to Jonathan's house to activate his credit card.. then back to UHaul.. then to my old house to pick up more stuff. We take a short nap back at my house then leave for cotillion practice. We played 13 to kill time, but hardly anyone showed up. We went over chacha again.. then went inside to eat spaghetti. Then Lisa, Chris, Jonathan, and I played 13 some more until we went home. Jonathan helped me fold some more of my clothes in my room.. then my sis and I dropped him off before getting food at Taco Bell for my mom. Now I'm home blogging! This is my first time being online in my new house.. haha k bye.

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY DIANA NGOC NGUYEN! I LOVE YOU.. HEY.. IT'S YOUR GOLDEN YEAR!

Friday, August 15, 2003

Two more days til Jonathan comes home! whoo hoo! So anyway, all I did was pack up all the stuff in my room.. almost done. Then my mother took me to cotillion practice and stayed while she caught up with Lisa's mom. We finished learning cha cha.. learned the rose dance.. and then ate chicken teriyaki while watching a bootleg copy of "Finding Nemo".

These past few episodes of "Boy Meets World" have made me cry.. A LOT! Even though I've seen them all 458309534 times, I STILL cry. I blogged about that one episode when Cory stays up all night talking to a girl and then kisses her. So today's episode was when Cory blew his last chance.. stupid girl had to show up! The end of the show broke my heart. The part when Topanga said that she never once had to test the way she felt about Cory.. that was when it was all over for me. Grr.. and that Lauren. I hate her!!! (double entente.. I think "entente" is the right word.) Why couldn't she keep to herself!!! She knew that he was involved with a great girl.. the LOVE of his life! SOME girls today.. sheesh. Anyway.. it's on Disney again, so I'm going to watch... and cry.

I didn't talk to Jonathan today =(. First time since the first day we started seeing each other again.

Wednesday, August 13, 2003

I woke up with a really bad stomach ache and stayed in the bathroom for about an hour waiting for my vomit to come out. But when I did throw up, nothing came out! I threw up a whole bunch of water.. haha.. ok that's enough because that's too much detail now.

So it was my sister's birthday today. We did a lot of nothing until my mom came home from work. Then we (mom, sis, charlie, me) went to Valley Fair to build my sister and cousin a bear for their birthdays. My mom had a great time.. haha, so she's bringing my sister back on Saturday to get a Lion. Afterwards, we headed to the Great Mall for Media Play and Thera was working. We bought the "Lizzie McGuire Movie" for my sis... and some other DVDs that were on sale. The rest of my cousins came over and we watched Lizzie, "Paradise Hotel", and now "Crazy/Beautiful". Bleh.. I MUST finish packing soon.

Oh yeah, I talked to Jonathan for a good 5 minutes on the phone then chatted with him online for about 30 minutes.. ahhh I miss him! OOOH speaking of the devil, he just texted, so time to go and call hiM!
ooooh.. I just saw MARS! and I don't care if this is my 4th time blogging today.. I have no life since the bf is outta state. Mars is all orangey!! so coool!
me (12:42:06 AM): CAN-TA-LOPE!
me (12:42:14 AM): and i have NO MORE hives thank you very much
iNFaMouSWun38 (12:42:28 AM): CAN-TA-LOPEZ...is what they should call you now
iNFaMouSWun38 (12:42:38 AM): oh workin on them melons like usual
me (12:42:40 AM): hahaha
me (12:46:21 AM): cantaloupe
iNFaMouSWun38 (12:46:44 AM): haha
iNFaMouSWun38 (12:46:47 AM): why all late?
iNFaMouSWun38 (12:46:54 AM): looked it up in the dictionary
iNFaMouSWun38 (12:46:55 AM): ?
me (12:47:08 AM): yup
I was overjoyed this morning. Do you know why? MY HIVES WERE ALL GONE! I was no longer itchy. This teaches me a really valuable lesson; STOP EATING CANTALOPE DAMMIT! YOU KNOW YOU'RE ALREADY ALLERGIC. So anyway, I didn't do anything all day. Just spent some quality time with Leanna and Charlie.. watching DVDs all day; "Shrek", "Serendipity", and snippets of "Lord of the Rings" because of my sis. Oh yah, I also took some online quizzes (http://www.colorgenics.com).

Anyway, I was able to talk to my greatly missed boyfriend for about 5 minutes! Well maybe 4 minutes because my mom talked to him for about a minute. But our limited time to talk due to long distance charges and what-not make me appreciate our 3589345 hour long, not-so-lively, conversations we have when he's home.

You know what's trippy? Well, Jonathan and I have always thought of "Boy Meets World" as the story of our lives.. meeting during childhood, getting together during the puberty time, breaking up, getting back together, and so on. But tonight's episode on Disney was especially "trippy" because it's when Cory stays up all night talking to Lauren at the ski lodge for their senior trip.. and the two of them kiss and she writes him a heart-felt letter.. yadda yadda yadda. Ok, well maybe this never happened to me before, but something of this sort KINDA SORTA has, and the names are identical. Jonathan would always bring up the fact that Topanga and Jonathan both have 8 letters, while Cory and Jule had 4. I never really thought about it all until today. After watching "Serendipity" this morning, it makes me think a WHOLE lot about fate and destinty. If there really is ONE person out there for you.. and if life is all about reading signs and that there are no such things as accidents because it's all fate. Bleh, I think I miss the boyfriend too much.. that's why I'm blabbing.. so it's time to go.

OH YEAH! HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY TO MY DEAREST SISTER JULEANNAMARIE!!

NEVER SETTLE: ARE THEY YOUR PARTNER FOR LIFE?
Oh yeah, they're your partner for life

...and your best friend. You're one of the lucky ones. People like you two rarely find each other. When they're in the house, you light up. You feel more confident around them. You two build each other up and your bonds get tighter and deeper every day.

Are you in LOVE or LUST?
Clint Eastwood expressed it best when he said: "This kind of certainty comes, but once in a lifetime."

Ah, yes Clint, we know what you mean.

You're in love, and you love being in love and really, you don't have time to think about anything else. Certain people might be put off by your single-mindedness (or a bit jealous at your good fortune) but you don't let that bother you. You are in the honeymoon stage of total infatuation/love: it sure feels good, doesn't it?

There's nothing more rewarding than the feelings you have now, but take some preemptive measures to make sure they last. Relationships always start out strong. It takes work to make them last. What you have now is great: You trust your partner, are considerate of his needs and appreciate their good qualities as well as their flaws. The next step is to make sure you don't start to take that special someone for granted, or let the spark of romance and lust die down prematurely.

Oh, and one other thing: are friends and family feeling resentful? Could this be, perhaps, because you've fallen off the face of the earth since falling in love? Although you understandably want to spend the majority of your time with your paramour, be sure not to let Mom or the old buddies feel too left out in the cold. Give them a call once in awhile. Spread the cheer you feel at being in love to all your loved ones.
greetings from ka'anapali maui. i'm here at the Westin Hotel using their internet for 10 bucks for 24 hours. eh, its ok- its one of the things i can't live without e.g jule!- anyone want anything? post it on chatter box and i'll think about it. mahalo.
Since Jonathan's in Hawaii getting LEID, I expected my days to be boring, but I had a lot of fun today. First, I picked up my cousins--Krystal, Kaycee, Michelle, and Neneng--and went to Gothic so Neneng could get her naval repierced. I never ever saw anyone getting a piercing up close before--only ears and from far with Angie and Sheila--but dam, it makes me wonder how the hell Sherilyn saw me get ALL of my piercings up close and personal.. pretty scary. Anyway, we went to Valley Fair and went shopping. We took a break from shopping though because all of our stomachs were growling so while we were eating, we started catching up on everything. It's been a longggggg time since all of us went out. On the way home, we talked about our Lopez side of the family.. and yadda yadda yadda. I dropped em off then went home for a bit. Then Mariel picked me and Sheila up and headed to Cloverleaf to meet up with Diana, Villiard, Sherilyn, Ellison, James, Brian, JR, April, Goodrich, and their other friends. I played two games and got a suckier score during my second game. I felt flushed and dizzy and hot and blah blah blah. It sucked because I was putting on my medicated lotion at the bowling alley because of the irritation that is still taking over my skin. I called my dear bubby and he claims that he got darker already.. and he got leid.. his dream! Now I'm watching "The Little Mermaid" with my sister, Charlie, and my mom. YESSS JONATHAN'S ONLINE SO I CAN TALK TO HIM!!!!!! $9.95 for 24 hours for internet connection.. I AM WELL WORTH IT! right Jonathan?

Monday, August 11, 2003

My hives got EXTREMELY bad.. and I'm not exaggerating. They were all over my legs, my arms, my stomach, my back, my face, my neck.. even my ears! I used the lotion that my sister uses when her skin gets all retarded and it helped a little bit. Jonathan ended up coming over again to say bye before he left for Hawaii. But before that, I vomitted in the bathroom which was really nastly. I think it was from all the water I drank. Anyway, Jonathan tucked me into bed, kissed me good night, and then had my sister lock the door when he left. I know this sounds corny and all, but I really love my boyfriend. I know that I can live without him (we both do), but we choose not to. Everyone pray for him when he's on the plane because he gets motion sickness.

Sunday, August 10, 2003

Yesterday I went to Ikea with my mother and sister. She woke us up at 9am! Pretty early for me.. so we go to Ikea and look at the new stuff we should buy for our new house. When I got home, I was expecting the dear boyfriend to pick me up right away, but no.. he had to do other stuff as always. So he ends up picking me up 4 hours later than what he said.. but to make matters worse, he told me that we had to cut our night short and he couldn't go out. I was pretty pissed because it was a Saturday night.. a Saturday WITHOUT him working.. and what did he have to do? Stay home with his parents. Anyway, we ended up going to Santa Clara.. but didn't stay because I was still mad at him. We went to Santana Row to find a new wallet for him.. but I was still pissed so we left and went to Valley Fair. I still wouldn't talk to him so we left again. We drove back to Mercado in Santa Clara.. but he got pissed at me for making a reference to some girl from his past.. so he took me home. We were parked outside my house for a real long time.. then parked somewhere else because I didn't want any of my family seeing me pissed off and stuff. We talked things out and everything got better. After making out--I mean making up, we went to eat at Cheesecake Factory. When we were finished, we could barely walk back to the car. He stayed and watched "Lord of the Rings" with my sister while I dozed off on the couch.

Today I woke up at 10am on my own. I tried to wake Jonathan up, but he was up til 6 playing counterstrike.. so I watched "D3 The Mighty Ducks" on Disney. When it was finished.. I got ready and Jonathan picked me up. He told me yesterday that he would surprised me.. so when he picked me up, we went to Albertson's. "What a GREAT surprise" I said in my head, but then I figured out what he was up to. Before he picked me up, he kept asking me if I had old bread.. and that he wasn't gonna eat it.. then at Albertson's he's buying fruit and ice cream. Then we arrive at the park he used to go to a lot when he was little and he brings out a blanket. Yup, I knew it! A little picnic. We put the blanket near the dirty lake and fed the ducks. Those ducks are savages.. we were scared for a little bit because the bigger ducks started to surround us. We laid down for a while.. then got back up to feed the ducks. There were little chicks! They were yellow and everything! They were the cutest ever.. we fed the chicks for a wihle then left. We hung out at his house for a bit before going to church. But we made a quick detour to the salon so he could get a haircut. Then we made another detour back to his house because he forgot his cell phone.. went to church and prayed.. and then he dropped me off at home because AS ALWAYS, he had to cut it short because of the parents. So I watched "D2 The Mighty Ducks" with my sister and mom and ate korean bbq. Dammit.. but now I have freakin hives because of the cantalope I ate earlier. It's gross.. I have bumps everywhere!

Saturday, August 09, 2003

I forgot to blog yesterday. Well Jonathan woke me up and I REALLLLLLY didn't want to get out of bed, but I did eventually. This time, it was HIM waiting for me to get ready... haha sucker! We went to the DMV again and waited a longggggggg time. We ate at Wendy's to kill time, but it didn't help much. We waited for about 2 more hours. During those 2 hours we played 13.. during our last game.. I had a really good hand but it was his turn.. dammit. I had TWO bombs! I dropped him off at work.. picked up Joanne and Krystle.. then dropped them off at their friend's house. I went back home.. spent MORE quality time with my sister.. went online and talked about scary things with Sheila and Jenna.. then picked up Jonathan at work. I was scared as hell while I was driving to pick him up because of all the scary stories I was reading. We went to Coffee Lovers to play CS with Nate and the other Jonathan. We were getting headaches so we went back to my house and watched TV.

Friday, August 08, 2003

bleh.. I got my rag today.

Jonathan wakes me up for once and he picks me up and we go to the DMV. Unfortunately, the wait was for AT LEAST an hour, and he had to be at work in an hour, so since our stomachs were growling, we ate at Denny's. I watched "Batman and Robin" with my sister, watched Disney Channel, talked to bubby then headed to cotillion practice. I stayed for a while after talking with everyone.. which was pretty fun then headed home. Bubby came by after work and printed out his schedule.. he stayed for a while then headed home.

Thursday, August 07, 2003

Today, I woke up pretty early.. around 12pm. I watched Maury and called Sheila to tell her about it because it was about this 42 year old woman who married a 14 year old boy.. it was weird! Sheila watched it already so I continued. My sister finally woke up and we watched our daily dose of "Step by Step". It was almost time for our doctor's appointments so I showered and got ready and left. I got a physical which wasn't so bad compared to the last physical I got. All they did was look in my ears, my mouth, check my breathing, and check my blood pressure. I was supposed to get a shot according to my mom, but I didn't. My sister got a shot though.. ouch. We stopped by McDonald's to get food, but no complete meals because we weren't THAT hungry. We watched "Lord of the Rings" Part 2 but couldn't finish because she had volleyball. I was tired and decided to give my bubby a call. It was almost 6pm when he answered and he just awoke from his slumber! He registered for his classes while I gave him feed back and then he picked me up. We went to Mercado and ate at World Wraps. The teriyaki chicken wrap thing he ordered wasn't that great.. but he liked it so he finished mine. We killed more time by going to the arcade and then we watched "Gigli" which is the worst movie in the world... maybe 2nd worst because I still thing "28 Days Later" is still the worst movie in the world. We hung out for a while after that and then he dropped me off at home. The end.

Wednesday, August 06, 2003

San Francisco Part.. I dunno anymore.
So I woke up between 8 and 9am and got ready for my fun-filled day. The reason why I woke up so early was because I thought that mister jonathan was going to pick me up after work and going to the dmv.. but I was wrong. So I waited and called and called and waited some more and called some more, and there was no answer. I called repeatedly from around 9am until he picked up at almost 11am. Interestingly enough, he answered the 50th time I called. His biggest mistake was that he did not inform me about his change of plans.. instead of going to the dmv after work, he went home to sleep... blah blah blah.. that whole mess was a big fight. Anyway...

He picks me up and I drive.. we pick up Jenna, Sher and Romel, and then Ellison. Everyone was already at Blanco's. Rich's ensemble was interesting: a cowboy hat with normal jeans and a shirt and some funky shoes (he wanted to see how many gay guys would hit on him.. why you ask? who knows, it's richard). Since Daryl, Rich, and I were the only drivers, we were the "captains" and we were picking people.. kinda like teams. But we said screw it and let whoever ride with whoever they want. So we (me, jonathan, sher & ell in jonathan's car, daryl, jenna, diana, and sheila in daryl's car, and rich, romel, and joshie in rich's car) were on our way to San Francisco (well we stopped by the gas station first).

Our first stop was the SFO airport to see Blanco and his family off to the Philippines. Keep in mind that when we park in the parking garage and pull the ticket out from the thingy, Jonathan right away says, "here, give me the ticket," as if I was going to lose it.. so I gave it to him. The guys got some luggage carts with no luggage and pushed them around for the heck of it. Ben and Henessey were also there. However, Jonathan managed to piss me off AGAIN.. you see, he was walking like a turtle while everyone else was walking about a mile in front of us. Anyway, he bought some coffee that made us un-grumpy (we were both grumpy because of our lack of sleep). So Sheila and Hene played "I see something..." while everyone else played 13 or watched them play 13. Blanco departed and so did we. So remember when I said that Jonathan took the parking ticket away from me so I wouldn't lose it? Well, he lost it. So instead of paying less than $5 for parking like the two other cars, we paid $22 because that's how much you pay when you lose the parking ticket... oh and guess who had to pay for it since SOMEONE never carries cash? yeah, me.. ahashfla;sjdflkjsd! I was more than pissed off by then, but I let it go.

We drove to Market street and walked around. The plan was to go shopping, but no one was really in the mood, so we went to Urban Outfitters. After checking the women's section upstairs and the men section downstairs, Jonathan and I joined some of the others who were just sitting in the comfy chairs. We were looking at this Kama Sutra book.. I never knew it really existed because I first heard about it from American Pie.. but dam, there are some crazy ass sex positions. There was this one position with the guy doing a back bend and then the girl is like on top of him in some way.. I dunno I forgot. Finally everyone was done and we went to eat at Blondie's pizza. We ordered this large cheese pizza.

Castro Street was our next stop since Richard wanted to see how many gay guys would hit on him, however, it wasn't "poppin".. I think people hype Castro Street way too much. OH, but one thing a few of us saw was some topless guy who was DJing in some club. We walked along Castro Street to find some activity, but Josh didn't want no activity.. haha.

We parked at Fisherman's wharf and there was this bush dude who tried to scare people.. it was hella funny.. but I think you just had to be there in order to understand. Me, Jonathan, Diana, Sherilyn, and Ellison walked from Hooters to the Pier and back to Hooters. There was a wait at Hooters, so we killed some time by walking around. We went to this picture place where they take funky pictures of you.. and we took a picture called "Attack of the Giant Crab". I'll post it up once Sher gives me my copy. So we went to Hooters and Cesar was there! Everyone ate but I wasn't really hungry. Since there was nothing else to do and Jonathan and I were dead tired (and because he had work in the next few hours) we decided to call it a day. Sher, Ell, and Di left with us. I was pissed when we left though because of.. yup, you guessed it, my wonderful boyfriend. I hate it when he's grumpy, he just turns into someone I want to kick upside the head with steeltoe boots!

We drop everyone home.. and our night ended pretty dam crappy if you ask me. However, the trip to San Francisco with 12 wonderful people was fun despite of its many downs.. there were more ups.

WEEKEND UPDATE
Saturday I did a lot of nothing because Jonathan had work.. well I did nothing up until I picked up Sheila and Sherilyn. We headed to Micaela, Uyen, and Alex's "tritillion" at the Go Residence and did a lot of eating, karaoking, mahjong playing, and listening to the bands playing in the front yard on the lawn. Too bad the neighbors complained and the bands had to stop playing at around 8 or 9pm. So we went back inside to karaoke and the punk rocker dudes were karaoking. They were so adorable doing their harmonizing and stuff.. one of the dudes hella looked like Barry too.. weird. We left and watched Disney Channel at Sher's house for a bit.. then I took Sheila home and went home to wait for my wonderful boyfriend. When he got out of work, we went to Mercado. But since he lagged, the midnight show was sold out so we got the showing for "American Wedding" at 1250. Since we had to wait a while, I bought us some starbuck's to keep us awake. The movie was pretty good! I liked it. We hung out for a bit and when we got back to my house.. his wallet was no where to be found. I checked in my purse.. then the thought crossed my mind, "Dammit.. I think we left it on the chair when I was making you buy me a pretzel". So it was 3am and we drove back to Mercado after calling them continuously. They couldn't find it! Jonathan even went down to look for it, still no luck. We were both upset because he lost all his credit cards and IDs and ticket stubs and all that priceless memorable stuff.. and I had my ID cards in there=(.

Sunday I woke up to the sound of my mother putting away laundry in my room and she found stuff in my drawers that I didn't want her to find. But I explained to her why I had the stuff, and so hopefully she understands. We got ready and went to my auntie nelie's house for this prayer thing that we were late for, so my sister and I continued to watch "Pearl Harbor" because we had to stop watching before we left to go to my aunt's house. Jonathan picks me up and we go to Lisa's house who was still getting ready.. so we wait with her mom. We kill time at In N Out (and also to feed ourselves) and Chris comes along with David Nguyen and his one friend. We all go to the fair next to my house and park at Jonathan's work.. which saved us $10. We rode on the rollercoaster ride first.. it was pretty fun. I was screaming my heart out because it's been a while since I was on any ride like that. Then we played the "color bowl" game and won 3 small bulldogs, but traded it in for one medium sized bulldog.. it only costed us $10.. haha. Then we got in line for "The Zipper" which Lisa wanted to ride. Jonathan and I were talking about the first time we rode it together back at the MHT fairs. While we were waiting, we decided to play this other game where you throw balls into the basket.. Jonathan got 2 in so we got a big spongebob stuffed animal! Oh yeah, we named our new bulldog stuffed animal "Brulldog" cus it's a BRown bULLDOG. When we got back in line, the fireworks went on! It was great. Finally, it was our turn to go on the ride.. it was the worst experience of my life. SO, our cart thingy went round and round in circles.. and there were many instances when it felt like we were gonna hit the ground. Not to mention when we were spinning in circles really fast, the fireworks were still going off, so the really loud "boom boom boom" added to ride. By the time it was over, Jonathan and I were about to puke. Vivian, David Mai, and Ryan meet up with us too.. Ryan held our stuff and Vivian hated the ride too. Jonathan and I couldn't take it anymore and couldnt even stand to ride the ferris wheel.. so we gave Ryan our remaining 20 tickets which would have cost him $17 and went back to my house minutes away. Jonathan slept on the couch before heading to work at 11 while I wathced TV with my sister in the other room. I woke Jonathan up and so we hung out for a while and then he went to work. My sister put on "Lord of the Rings" so we could finally finish it, but sleep came over me and I fell asleep. I woke up around 12am though to stay up with my wonderful bubby. I even watched "Saved By the Bell" which I haven't done in a while. I slept after that.

Today I let bubby sleep and he calls me and asks if I could pick him up. The poor dear still doesn't have his wallet which had his license. But I was mad at him.. I forget why. So instead, he drives over to my house. We go to costco to get another NEW card.. which we did a few days ago. We get our pictures which he got a discount on because of missing pictures and bought food for us and my sister. We drop off her food and inhale our polish dogs on the way to pick up his sister. We drop her off at cotillion practice then we head over to Frys. By this time, I was in major BM status because I didn't want to go to Frys! We were just there a few days ago. We go to Mercado to see if his wallet was found, but no luck. I got mad at him again because he didn't want to watch a movie anymore (plan breaker!) which we PLANNED to do when we were setting our plans for the day. So we go to Our Lady of Peace to pray to God to bring back his wallet.. and he gets mad at me for pressing all the buttons to light the candes.. he told me that I had to make a donation first, but I've always done that.. even when I was a kid. He also shows me the sign that he made a long time ago.. and if you've been there, you've probably seen it too. It's a computerized sigh that says something about lighting the candles? I dunno, I forgot. We go outside to where the statue was, and Jonathan asks, "are you ready?" and he looks at the giant circular path.. I was already in a BM so I sat down in the chair while I told him to walk the circle path all alone.. and the nerd did! haha.. it was a HUUUUUUUUUUGE circle too.. probably a mile long. But that's how he is, he's REALLY weird. He even disappeared for a while behind the bushes because he wanted to chase the squirrels away. After that, he drops me off at home and he yells a reminder out to me but I just flip him off and go inside. I watched the Disney Channel and a lot of reality TV shows. Lately, I've been watchng "Paradise Hotel". Although it is a sick and twisted show, it interests me and so I watch it. Jonathan comes by before he goes to work and we talk.. I mostly yell at him because of him being a party pooper lately. Now I'm online.. I've been online for 3 hours.. haha yikes. But I gotta scan pictures for Jonathan.. so until next time...

HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY TO MY TWIN COUSINS CHARLIE AND CHARLETTE!
