Mystery prank call.
Someone called Sherilyn and I at our dorm phone last night around 10pm and left a disturbing message. The voice was all muffled so you could barely understand anything, but it was for sure a dude. Maybe they were using one of those phone voice changer things? I dunno, but they said something like they're gonna be here one night with a knife and a mask. Hopefully they were drunk UCSCers calling random numbers? I hope?? ahhh.. now I'm scared.

Tuesday, April 27, 2004
My mommy and sister came to pick me up in Santa Cruz after classes on Thursday. Back at home I just watched "Friends" with Jonathan until he went home.
Friday morning Jonathan came over again. 'Twas our anniversary... technically the 42nd month we have celebrated (not counting the "lost" months). We went to Valley Fair for a bit, grabbed some Pad Thai at Krung Thai, and went home. He ended up having to do yard work with his daddy for the rest of the day/night, so Michael picked me up along with Samantha. We went to Oakridge where Mike shopped at AE for the very first time, Costco to look for prescription sunglasses, Best Buy to buy CDs, and then Great Mall theaters to watch "13 Going on 30." After the movie, we went to their residence, and waited for Jessica and Ikan. I watched them smoke and went to Walgreens to buy a confirmation card before going home.
Saturday morning my mom, sister, sister's friends, and I headed to Union City to visit my auntie Hazel, Uncle Bill, and my cousin Ian. We all went swimming, got tanned, and ate lots of food. My mom and I headed back to San Jose "real quick" to drop off some food, then went back to Union City where we talked with my aunt and cousin Ian for the rest of the night (and until my sister and her friends were done swimming). When I came home, Jonathan came over again after work. We watched "Friends" until I decided to take a "nap".
Sunday morning when my "nap" was over, I got all paranoid because Jonathan was gone! I then realized it was the next morning and he was at home already. I went to church with mom and sister, dropped my sister off at her friend's house, went to Ikea and two Home Depots with my mom, then finally headed home. Jonathan, Joanne, and Jeremy stopped by for a while, and Jonathan helped me assemble this lamp for my mom. We all headed to the driving range... I had fun again with Jonathan and Jeremy.. then went home while Jonathan dropped the kids off. He came back and we watched more of "Friends" until he had to go home.
Monday morning Jonathan came over again and I we hung around the house until we went our separate ways to pick up our sisters at school. Leanna and I stopped by Lisa's house to pick up curtains before heading home. Jonathan came over again, we watched "Friends" with my mom and sister, then I went upstairs to start on my essay while Jonathan snored his brains out on my bed. After that was finished, Jonathan and I grabbed some Jambaat Valley Fair, I went to work, got picked up after work by the one-and-only, went to Cheesecake factory to get some cheesecake, bank to transfer money, two different Walgreen's, In N Out where we were the only customers eating in the restaurant because it was 1am on a Monday night, home, sleep.
Today Jonathan came over around 730am to wake me up, he ended up climbing into bed with me and sleeping too, finally got ready, got breakfast at Denny's, got dropped off in Santa Cruz.. and now I have class.

Thursday night, my mommy, Leanna, and Jonathan came to pick me up in Santa Cruz. We headed over to Costco to buy pizzas, soda, and other random food. Back at home, my dear cousins Neneng and Michelle came over and we ate lots and lots of pizza. Then we all kicked back and watched "Friends" DVDs until they had to go home. Jonathan decided to have a poker night with some of his friends at my house, so while they played, I dropped my cousins off at home, then continued watching "Friends" until I fell asleep on the couch. Jonathan woke me up, helped me up the stairs, and we went to bed.
Friday morning, my mother woke us all up early because we were going to the beach! All hell broke loose (from me) that morning. The plan was to leave at 9am with the family, but Jonathan decides to tell me around 930 that he had a meeting at 10. So everyone else goes ahead, while I wait for Jonathan all by my lonesome at home. He ended up getting out of the meeting at 12, so I was pissed. On the way to the beach, he decides to tell me that he had to be home by 4 because he was gonna watch "The Lion King" on broadway with his family that night! First of all, that meant we could only stay at the beach for 2 hours, and second of all, I really really really really wanted to watch itttttttttttt... he promised! So more of my hell broke loose. Things pretty much cooled off after we ate the chinese food my mom brought and after we spread a blanket out on the sand and laid under the sun.. it was great actually. But then, I guess my PMS kicked in again, and we ended up leaving... haha. We said bye to my mom and headed back to my house where we just napped for a while and watched TV. For the rest of the day/night, I watched TV and did nothing. Oh yeah, I also realized I lost my cell phone at the beach, but I didn't really care because I cracked the antenna off the phone (well almost), so I was gonna get a new one anyway. Jonathan couldn't come over that night either, so I went to bed alone =(. I was pissed too because I was on the phone with him and his phone died and he didn't bother calling back! I waited up because he said he was gonna come over for a bit, but did he? nooooo.. his ass fell asleep! Sheesh.
Saturday morning I woke up hella early bc I still didn't hear from him.. and I kept calling his cell and his house, but no answers!!!! I was really ticked off by then, like really. I wanted to kick his face. But I didn't. I went to my cousins house because Amber and Ashley were having a birthday party... and I attempted to do hw in Amber's room, but didn't succeed. My aunt had me run some errands for her since her and my mom were cooking.. so Amber and I went to Party City to buy streamers, then this other party store bc Party City didn't have pink balloons, Peter's Bakery to get the cake, and umm.. yeah, that's it. It was annoying trying to stuff 3 dozen balloons into the back of my mom's Montero. Famiy started coming over.. fun times. I FINALLY got a hold of Jonathan when I called him at work. Man, I got even more pissed because it was hard for him to talk because he was at work and guests kept coming in and blah blah blah so I was put on hold like 23809234 times. We talked things out, and I wasn't so pissed anymore. So I hung out with my family some more, jumped in the jumper, ate lots of fruit salad, took my cousin's friend home all the way near Oakridge (we took the side streets too), made a quick detour to Jamba Juice where Ikan hooked me up with a free drink, back to the party, and then Jonathan finally came from work! We played cards and listened to people karaoke until everyone left. My aunt and uncle insisted that we all just stayed the night since it was already late, so we were given toothbrushes, pjs, blankets, and pillows. Charlie, Jonathan, and I fell asleep on the floor while watching "Panic Room".
Sunday morning, I had this weird feeling that Jonathan was gonna get in trouble because his phone STILL wasn't charged, and I was right. He got lectured about staying the night and blah blah. I went home by myself for a bit to do hw, but it was too lonely, so I showered, and went back to my cousins' house. I finished up my hw there, brought the twins and Leanna to Jamba, dropped them off at their house again, then headed to work. Work was regular. During break, Mic, Joyce and I went to Jack in the Box, and one of our co-workers hella cut us off.. we didn't know it was him until after we honked. When I got home, I cleaned up my room.. called Jonathan.. then fell asleep.
Monday morning, I woke up early again because Jonathan wanted me to wake him up.. but that didn't work. He couldn't hear his phone. Fed Ex came that morning and delivered my new phone! I had to pay $35.. If I didn't have insurance, I would have paid $359, so good thing for insurance. Jonathan finally called me and came over right away. We went to my follow up eye exam, got my prescription finalized, ate some polish hot dogs, went to the Verizon store to fix my plan, but Jonathan tells me we could do whatever I wanted them to do over the phone, so we left, went to a clinic, shopping at Valley Fair, fixed my grandparents' computer at their house, went home for a bit while he picked up my sister, watched "Friends" until my mom came home, went with my mom to Levitz to pick up her new bed, picked up my sister at my grandparents' house, watched some TV with the cousins, ate at TK Noodle with mom and sis, watched "Friends" again, then he finally went home. I'm not used to him going home early anymore!! But it's ok. I went upstairs, called Jonathan, packed for school, cleaned my room again, read for hw, and finished up a written response after having technical difficulties with the comp, stayed on the phone, and went to bed.
This morning, my sister woke me up... and I called Jonathan to wake him up.. but I fell asleep, and my sister woke me up again, and I called him to wake him up again, and the cycle continued for 3 or 4 more times until he came over. I showered, we napped some more, got breakfast at Jack in the Box, got gas, went to Santa Cruz, and now I am here. Wow, that took me a long time! Oooh.. it's also 4/20, don't smoke out too much! I've also been wondering about the origin of 4/20 and what it really means. I know it's Hilter's bday today.. does that have anything to do with smoking out? who knows?
Happy 15th Birthday my dearest cousin Hazeline Amber Respicio! (4/17)

So I said I would get back to "Passion of Christ" and boy oh boy it's a good movie. I really shouldn't have lagged that long to watch it because dam, it could have changed my perspective of a lot of things that have happened since it first came out. It's just sad that not enough people had the balls to stand up to Jesus. They let the evil people accuse him of things they couldn't prove. It's just sad. Not a lot of people know what suffering and torture actually mean, and they often use those words incorrectly when they describe a state they are in. Just watch the scene when they are whipping Jesus.. over and over and over again. You can really feel his pain. I also thought about how great he was for praying for the people who did all that crap for him instead of praying for himself. He said to "keep your enemies close and pray for those who persecute you". It's just funny how I've been going to a Catholic school all my life (except this year) and I never really felt for Jesus. He let all of these bullies push him around... and I admire the fact that he just prayed for them and did not sink down to their level. So from now on, I'm really gonna think when I see WWJD. Jesus is cool.
On another note.. I've been on a blogging spree. I guess I'm just trying to avoid homework and what not. But anyway, I still don't know what I'm gonna do for housing next year. I am guaranteed housing next year, so I filed just in case.. but if I end up living in the dorms again.. fuck it.. I'm gonna live at home. My mom doesn't really want me commuting everyday from San Jose to Santa Cruz.. but I know I can do it. It's just a little sacrifice.. but we'll see. If I get an apartment at College Ten with Sher, then I'll live here for one more year, well at least for one more quarter. I also kinda hate how I have four day weekends because when I go back to Santa Cruz for class, I can't concentrate at all because I would just countdown the days until I'd be home. This moving away from home business is not for me at all. Maybe if I had my bf here it would be a LITTLE better because I get jealous of all the couples that walk around here and the couples that have classes together and blah blah blah. But the main reason I want to stay at home is because of my mom and my sister. I miss them A LOT when I'm away. I just miss the feeling of home and this place will never be called "home" by me because even though it is where I stay for a few nights out of the week.. it's just not home. I'm such a dependent person too.. I really do not know how I'm going to get by when I REALLY have to be on my own. Well until then, I'll take advantage of the fact that I can still live at home for as long as I want. But again, we'll see.

I had an eye exam yesterday and I told my eye doctor that I thought the vision in my right eye got worse. So you know that big black machine they put on your eyes? Yeah.. he kept putting lenses and making my prescription stronger, but it did not work at all. Then he told me that the astigmatism in my right eye is A LOT worse than in my left eye.. and my prescription did not really change, it's just the fact that my astigmatism is really bad, so it won't really be clear anymore. Sad huh.. my vision is non-correctable in a way. I can't wait until I get my Lasik surgery so I don't have to worry about stupid glasses and contacts. After my eye exam, my mom bought my sister and I chicken bakes. At home, Leanna and I lounged around home watching TV and being fat asses. Then I started cleaning up my room. There was this box of jewelry and hair stuff under one of my tables that was never unpacked when we moved in, and I finally sorted it. I had a pile of my clothes and Jonathan's clothes in the middle of my room, but left to go to Valley Fair with Leanna and Jonathan to buy some pants at Hollister. When I got home, my mom wanted to go to Levitz to pick up the couches she bought. It was scary when we were driving home from there because I was paranoid that one of the couches were gonna fall out from the back of my aunt's truck. A neighbor helped Jonathan and my mom unload the couches while I ran around the house packing stuff for Leanna. Finally, we arrive at Sizzler's for Ashley's birthday dinner. Good stuff. We went back to their house to eat cake.. then headed home. We fixed the couches.. they're really comfy. Then, Jonathan, my mom, and I watched the Miss American Pageant. I continued and finished cleaning my room right after then finished up my essay and went to bed. Jonathan and I left for Santa Cruz this morning after trying to wake up 24990 times.. and I bought a book for music.. freakin $64.. ahh. I hate these stupid school books, so dam expensive.
Happy 14th Birthday Miss Ashley Nicole Respicio!

I had class all day on Thursday and I was fidgety during all of them because I couldn't wait to go home. Good thing Jonathan was there by the time I was done with my classes so we left right away for San Jose. My mom wanted to go pah-shal-ing, so we went to Great Mall to watch a movie.. the movie times sucked, so we just shopped around the mall for a bit then grabbed a satisfying dinner at Lee Noodle with Mommy, Leanna, and Chanel. At home, Jonathan, Leanna, and I fell asleep while watching "Zoolander". Friday was spent doing more errands with my mom and sister. She randomly wanted to go furniture shopping at Levitz and ended up spending a lot of money.. oh mommy. Then we went to Valley Fair so I could get my paycheck.. and did MORE shopping. We picked up my grandparents then headed for Our Lady of Peace. Back at home, I picked up my car and headed straight to work. I saw my lovely Lopez cousins while I was working..fun. Jonathan didn't get back to my house until around 5am because he was playing freakin Texas Holdem and won the pot of ONLY 12 bucks. Freakin 5 hours of playing for $12.. NOT worth it. Saturday we got a really rude awakening from my mother. Keep in mind that we slept around 5 or 6am. She went prancing into my room and screamed wake up kids!! oh everyone was cranky that morning. At around 10 or 11, Jonathan and I went to the Bank and re-opened my checking account, then went to Valley Fair again to shop at Hollister--I wanted to get my Triple A's. The shirts I bought had holes in them from the sensors, so we went to the Hollister at Oakridge to exchange them and get Cinnabon real quick. Jonathan went straight to work, then I went with my mom and sister to Target, and then to visit my loud cousins. We watched "Friends" for a while, went home, saw Lisa and Chris before I started work, then went to work again. Diana was there shopping..I miss that girl. It was another long night until 1am-ish.. or well, it wasn't long compared to how long we've worked before. I rushed home in hopes to get started on my essay, but didn't work. Jonathan came over and we got Wendy's. He wanted to play Mario Party with Leanna and Chanel.. so I said I would just "nap" until they were done, and then get started on my essay. Jonathan wakes me up around late 3am-ish and asks me if I still wanted to do my essay--f that! So we went to sleep. Mother came waltzing into the room again today with her loud loud voice.. ahh I HATE not sleeping! We had to get ready for the 5AM mass.. yes 5AM at MHT for Salubong. I was sooo grumpy and sleepy and hungry.. bleh.. but mass was good. It felt good to go to church. We got home around 7am, and I got started on my essay right away as Jonathan slept his ass off. I was getting irritated because he was snoring hella loud and all I wanted to do was sleep. I finally finished at 9am (I met my deadline!!! it was due at noon today) and posted it on the class website.. and straight to bed is where I went next. I woke up around 1pm.. got ready again.. then Jonathan and I went to my uncle Charlie's house and met up with my mom and sister and blah blah blah. Then we went to my cousins' grandma's house, but didn't stay long because Jonathan and I had to meet up with his mom and his sister at the movies. We watched "Passion of Christ".. very very good movie. I don't know why I didn't watch it sooner.. or well I do know why.. no time. But it was good. I'll talk more about it in my next post. After that, the four of us went to the driving range.. fun times. Back at their house, I finished up my homework that is due at midnight... and I am with auntie Zeny now while Jonathan and Joanne are at their uncle's house. I'm sleepy.
Overall great weekend. Lots of quality time with my family, Jonathan's family, and SHOPPPING. I got new bras, underwear, lotions, body sprays, and a credit card from Victoria Secret, a new wallet, a few purses, and clothes for summer. yay. ok.. no more shopping for another month or two or three. I need to learn how to save now. k bye. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

I had a really long dinner with Michelle Tran and Sherilyn last night.. twas great! It took us about 20 minutes to eat, and 2 hours and 10 minutes to just talk. Mich and Sher brought up the idea how some people are still in their high school phase even though we've been in college for about 7 months now. It's amazing how high school was just last year.. like exactly a year ago today, I was probably stressing over some dumb shit like a worksheet for Econ or a new pair of shoes. Anyway.. it's 3:16pm and I have yet to go to my FIRST class of the day at 3:30. I love the schedule I made for myself this quarter. No school Mondays and Fridays!!! Classes start at 12 Tuesdays and Thursdays and 330 on Wednesdays. No wonder I'm starting to get lazy. On another note, I've been contemplating on what I'm going to do for housing next year. I'm living on campus right now, and I think it's a big waste of thousands of dollars. Well for me it is because I'm hardly ever here. I sleep in my dorm room tuesday and wednesday nights AND THAT'S IT. I dunno.. so I think next year, there's a big chance that I'm just gonna live at home with my mommy and sister. The commute to Santa Cruz isn't really that bad. I guess I have grown accustomed to it. Anyway, I have until April 19 to file for housing if I want to live on-campus next year. Ok, I'm off to class.

Today I woke up early so I could wake up snoring Jonathan who had class. He said he didn't "need" to go today, so I said fine and went back to sleep. When we woke up, we went to VF so I could buy some stuff at Hollister, La Vic for lunch, then home for a cat nap on the couch. I did hw for a while, then went to Costco with my mom and used my Costco card for the first time! Jonathan met up with us at my house, headed to Union City to visit my aunt and to get my belated bday money.. then back to Santa Cruz.
Lopez family reunion
Ok so maybe it wasn't an actual reunion, but I have been spending a lot of time with my Lopez side a lot lately and it has been great. I almost forgot how much fun I used to have with my cousins.. so much fun. I've been going to PJ and Neneng's house almost everyday to pray the novena and stuff. Friday night was my aunt's vigil and they did a great job with singing "A Song For Mama" with the guitar and the piano. Saturday morning/afternoon was my aunt's funeral. My cousins and I sang at the burial site. I'm going to miss my aunt a lot, and I'm also going to miss my cousins because I'm not going to see them everyday like I have been seeing them. And things with my dad have been great. I am so glad that he finally grew up after all of these years, but it does hurt sometimes when I see him because I miss the time when he and my mom were still married. But they've got a better relationship now than when they were married. Hmm what else.. I saw a whole bunch of my nieces and nephews!
School
Jonathan and my mom dropped me off in Santa Cruz just now. I'm feeling a little homesick because even though I had classes last week, I did not spend a night here in Santa Cruz (due to everything that was going on last week and because my class on wednesday did not start until this week). Oh well, thank goodness I only have a 3 day school week. I will be back home Thursday night.
Work
I was scheduled to work Saturday, but I had Joyce cover for me because I was at my family party after my aunt's funeral. Good thing I didn't work that Friday night because they worked til 7am!!! Sunday I worked til 230.. blah.
Monterey
My dearest boyfriend has been wonderful this past week. He's been helping me through this family thing and he has been telling me to think positively with the situation my dad is in right now. Anyway, he dropped me off at school Thursday morn.. I went to class from 12 to 6.. and he WAITED the entire time! Ok so we had dinner at school with Sher, Ryan, and Mich.. and we finally headed to Monterey. We didn't go there for any sort of occasion.. just for the hell of it I guess and because he wants to take advantage of his Hilton Hotels discounts. So anyway, we check into Double Tree (it was really beautiful) which was right on the wharf.. then walk around downtown for a while. We grab a "snack" at Taco Bell, then go back to the hotel and watch "Win A Date With Tad Hamilton".. aww it was so cute. We played some card games then fell asleep. It took us forever to get up.. but we finally did. We walked around the wharf, got some clam chowder, planned to go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium (but didn't bc we were lazy), went shopping in the souvenir shops, then headed home.
Cache Creek
Well I didn't go again, but the bf and Jeremy did along with the bf's friends. So I stayed home SATURDAY night with my mom.. it was great though. I love my mom. So yeah, Sunday morning at 8am, Jonathan comes home, climbs into bed with me, then starts snoring away.. so that was when I woke up. The next time I go to Cache Creek won't be for another 2 years because they changed the age already, effective today.
Church
There were babies all around Jonathan and I on Palm Sunday. We got to church late and left church early and while we were in church, there were babies distracting us. Jonathan kept making faces at them.. and there was one point where this baby boy stands in front of us and starts yelling at us.. haha. Oh babies. Speaking of babies, we also visited Jonathan's downstairs neighbors today and their newborn baby! His name is Logan and is only a week old.. ahh he is soooo cute. Today for the FIRST time, Jonathan talked about having kids.. TOGETHER.. haha. I thought it was funny because he can never talk about those kinds of things.. it makes him nervous or whatever. Just face it Jonathan, we're gonna end up together =). Oh yeah, and we went out for SUSHI right after church.. I can't even remember the last time he took me out for sushi (not counting new york).
hmm... oh yeah, I also went shopping a few times.. I got a Costco card.. oh yeah and I forgot to mention that last last week, I took out my navel ring and my tongue ring.. so I got no more piercings! Ok.. back to the dorm life (until Thursday). I'm so weak, I already miss my mom and my sister and Jonathan and just HOME. I'm seriously gonna contemplate whether or not to live here in Santa Cruz, or to just commute whenever I have classes, bc right now, dorming is a waste of money bc I'm only here 3 days out of the week.. and it's not even a FULL 3 days! ok bye.
Ok so maybe it wasn't an actual reunion, but I have been spending a lot of time with my Lopez side a lot lately and it has been great. I almost forgot how much fun I used to have with my cousins.. so much fun. I've been going to PJ and Neneng's house almost everyday to pray the novena and stuff.
