San Francisco fun!
We had a great day! Not action-packed, but great! It started off when he woke me up this morning. He walked into my room and I was confused and sleepy at the same time. I had NO idea how he got into the house. Anyway, I was still crusty-eyed with morning breath too, but he gave me a hug and a kiss anyway.. along with 2 hot pink roses, an anniversary card that was soooo perfect, and strawberries wild (my fav) from jamba juice. After staying awake for a while, I got comfortable on my bed and fell asleep AGAIN, and before you know it, I wake up with Jonathan sleeping right next to me.. haha. FINALLY, we get up, he goes home real quick to shower and whatnot, and I do the same. It sucks because he had the morning/afternoon planned out for us, but because of our lazy asses, we slept instead and headed to San Francisco early because his mom wanted to go there early. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that our 6 year turned into family fun! haha. Anyway, we park near the SBC stadium then WALK all the way to Fisherman's Wharf because Jonathan said it was close! Oh my freakin goodness, Jonathan, Joanne, and I were dyingggggg from all the walking, but auntie Zeny was fine, she was even walking a little ahead of us. After an HOUR or so of straight WALKING, we grab some clam chowder in a bread bowl.. get some crepes.. walk around for a bit, then take a taxi back to the SBC stadium. We eat MORE before and during the game. SF Giants vs. LA Dodgers. The first and second innings were the only "fun" innings to watch because those were the ONLY innings some points were made. We left after the 8th inning, then listened to the results on the radio on the way home. The Giants won of course 3-2. I slept on the way back, and when I got home I was dead tired and wasn't in the mood to go out with Jonathan dear anymore. We're just gonna continue it this weekend or something. But yeah, simple day, but really fun! I should have gone into MORE detail about our walking adventure (Jonathan getting interviewed by KRON but them not airing his interview haha, the lost little boy asking for Joanne's cell phone but she tells him that she has no minutes, horse shit, blah blah) and the Giants game (parking the car about 29405934 times because auntie Zeny wasn't satisfied with parking spaces, dodger's player getting hit in the nuts with the foul ball that HE hit, little fat boy that looked like the little fat boy from Harry Potter, garlic fries, a homeless man with a sign that said "I'm not gonna lie, it's for beer" or something along those lines, sucky barry bonds, Jonathan screaming like a woman, blah blah blah) with all the FUN details, but it's ok, I'm tired. TIME FOR BED!

The Card!

our naps are the best!

lots of differences

yup!

HAPPY ANNIVERSAY JONATHAN! I'm always writing these corny ass love dedications, but enough of that. Here are just a few of the memories we have shared together these past 6 years. June 23, 1998 (12:20am) marked the very first day of what we have now, I love you!

Sorry there aren't very many pictures from the past.. most of these were just the ones saved on my comp. But again, happy anniversary babe! OH and THANKS to the many photographers of some of these pictures (Leanna, Diana, Lisa, Eileen, Charissa, Joel, and I think that's it)

Workaholic.
I don't know what's wrong with me. Today is my day off and I'm kinda sad that I don't have work. I don't have any plans tonight, so I absolutely hate it when I sit and home and do nothing. I'd rather be out having fun or working. Anyway, since I'm talking about work, it's been lovely as usual. Friday I worked... that was an interesting night because lots of people decided to call in sick, so it took even longer to get shit done. But Micaela and I had fun bossing around Luis the brand rep, and also teaching him some tagalog words. I worked again on Saturday which was fun again because Lisa worked with me. Our very first time working together, and I bossed her around too! haha.. jk. And I worked yesterday, which was the fastest close ever! We were done fixing the store at around 830 or 845.. a record I tell ya! and it was a Sunday too.

Dodgeball.
I watched this movie on Friday with Jonathan, my sister, and a shit load of her friends. Jonathan and I were stuck being the chaperones.. kinda. Anyway, the movie was pretty funny. "Put your mouth where our balls are!" haha.
Father's Day Prep.
Jonathan and I went father's day shopping on Saturday. At Hallmark, a whole bunch of sucky cards were left over, but we managed to find good ones. After buying a hat that says "Old School" for my grandpa, I headed to work.

Father's Day.
The only father-like person I saw yesterday was my Uncle Charlie (mom's bro). But basically, I spent the day with Leanna and Ashley at home. I dropped my grandpa's gift off at their house, but he was gone at the horserace. Eh well, Happy Father's Day to my dad who I have not seen in a while.

Cooking? Not my thing.
Today I didn't do anything special but I feel like blogging because there's nothing else to do. My mom put together the ingredients needed for adobo during her lunch break, and the only thing I had to do was stir the thing every 5-10 minutes and to turn off the stove when it was done cooking. Gosh, I struggled so much! When I was stirring the adobo in the pot, I kept dropping the big spoon because it was soo hot! So I put on TWO oven mits because I don't like it when the manteca(sp?) splatters on me. Anyway, I managed to burn it, and the house smelled like burnt adobo. It sucked because my mom already had left to go back to work, so I called Jonathan to help me. Joanne dropped him off, and there was nothing we could do, but eat the burnt adobo. Jonathan told me that he was going to send me to cooking class, so I can cook him big feasts when we're older.. yeah right! HE's the one that's gonna do the cooking =). After watching TV and taking a nap, I was off to work and it went by quick. I saw cousin Gene and Philip while I was walking, and Gene and I were matching with our bright green shirts. Chris Nug talked to me through the window of our store because he just got out of work from Abercrombie. But yeah, tomorrow I might work again, but it's ok because I'm not really doing anything and I need money.

Summer is great so far. I've been spending lots of time with the family. Last week I went to a ton of graduations and graduation parties. Congrats to my cousins Charlie, Charlette, Ashley, Jeremy, Ian, Marcel, and Mitchell for graduating intermediate school, junior high, and high school! yay! Papa took us all out for dinner after Ashley's graduation and he spent almost $400 on us.. goodness.. that man is great. At Ashley's graduation, this little boy caught my eye because he was sooo adorable!!!

Here we are taking pictures by the stairs...


We also took grandchildren portraits so my grandparents could blow them up into poster size to hang all over their house. So there are the twins Charlie and Charlette, Amber, Ashley, Leanna, and myself. We're only missing our cousin Ian who was in L.A. Next time my dear!


I also have been working lots and lots! Some highlights from this past week are:
-Japanese dudes spending $2,000 on merchandise that they're taking back to Hong Kong with them or something so they could sell our Hollister clothes. It was crazy because it took 3 of us to ring them up. Luis scanned everything while Joyce and I took off all the dam sensors.
-Filipino woman bitching at me. She claimed that our workers act like they've "never seen an asian person before". I thought that was funny because there were probably only 2 white people working that day.. oh well
-singing to Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" thanks to miss Micaela Go. Actually, it really was fun because we got the entire Hollister crew to sing along.
-applauding for fellow co-worker Benny after hitting on all the girls he could hit on in one day.
-wanting the guy workers to steal me some cinnabon for me behind the counter because my hands are too short. And also since the mall was already closed and we were the only ones walking around.
-staring at the new sexy brand rep we had to train one night.. ahh he was soooo cuuute! Too bad he's probably 17 or something. Don't worry Jonathan, he's just eye candy =) I still love you even though you've got a shaved head now.

Today, I just got a lot of errands done. A guy came to the house this morning to replace my windshield (finally).. and I went to VW Bob Lewis to buy a bulb for my headlight.. and my mom told me to buy new rugs for my car too, so I did.. finally picked up my contact lenses.. and I washed my car! It's soo clean that I parked it into the garage where no dust can touch it. Oh yeah, I had a little accident today. As I was backing out into the garage, my car just stopped, and I hollered out my window to ask my mom if I hit a big stone or something, I hit her car.. haha. No damage was done, just some minor scratches. Ok, that's it for today! Oh yeah! I also watched "Shrek 2" today with my mom, sister, and Jonathan then had dinner at Lee Noodle. Ok bye.

So a lot has happened since my last update. THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG UPDATE, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW. I finished my very last week of school successfully. Although, I skipped the last half of my very last class of the year on Thursday with Lorelei and Jo, and just finished packing up of my shiet from my dorm. Jonathan and I then headed straight to Mountain View for Grandma Joves' Vigil. Gosh, I was crying like a baby because of all the great things her grandchildren were saying about her. I'm glad that I knew her. Right after, Jonathan and I headed to Tony Roma's for Justin's birthday dinner where we ate ribs.

Friday morning I headed to the funeral with my mom and met up with Jonathan. It was a beautiful service. Doves were released at the very end.. it was a beautiful sight. The food at the reception at Chef Want's was veryyyy filling. The bf and I went home to my home and took a nap I think. Later that night, I called Mic to cover my shift at work and I watched "Harry Potter 3" with Jonathan after many trials and tribulations that I do not wish to discuss. Well..I was just pissed at my sister. However, it was a GRRRRRRREAT movie! Oh yeah, I also watched the first episode of the season for Degrassi (this canadian show on digital cable). Oh yeah, I also got my package of cell phone accessories from ebay from Jonathan. I love ebay!

Saturday morning, my grandparents came over, then my aunt and Charlette, my uncle and Charlie.. fun morning. My grandma wanted to buy luggage for her trip to the PI later this month, so mom, sis, mama, and I headed to JC Penny and good Lord, she bought hella expensive luggage.. she also bought me this reallllllllllly nice Samsonite black leather case for my laptop! It's beautiful and I've been using it lots. Then we went to hang out with the cousins until mommy dropped me off at work. While I was working, they were trying stuff on for family portraits.. so I had to serve them like I serve all the other customers. Work was done early, so my mother picked me up with my cousins again, back to their house, then home.

Sunday, went to church in the afternoon, cousins' house, flip flop shopping, and work until 3am because we were pulling out new stuff for the guy's side! Back to school clothes are coming soon kids, so stay tuned! I went to bed around 4am writing my very last writing 1 assignment. Oh yeah, I hella went shopping though during my shift at work. I love how my managers let me shop while I work.. haha. Oh yeah, I also got my paycheck! Biggest one so far, and I can't wait until my next one because it is going to be FAT!

Monday was very hectic for me. Jonathan and I woke up early, went to Santa Cruz, returned books, checked out of dorms, turned in assignments, and I registered for classes and took my Female Physiology final. It was sooo easy, good thing I didn't stress myself out about it.. I barely got to study! After my final, we went back home to my house where Jonathan stayed to watch a hockey game and nap while I went to work. It was another long night because we were doing the girl's side and re-did walls and built new walls and pulled new clothes and blah blah. It was fun though. I hella love work now because the people are great and the managers too!

Today marked my very first day of summer vacation! whoo! I woke up early to clean my room, then Jonathan came over and we picked up Leanna at MHT and Amber at MP, went to VF to shop and eat and look at IPODS, picked up Charlette, went to Mama and Papa's house, hung out and played Mario Kart while eating pizza, dropped Charlie off at Karate, shopping with my mommy and got a cute skirt and a cute dress, back to Mama and Papa's for dinner, and home to hang out with my dearest Jonathan. OH YEAH! I bought my pink mini IPOD today online! yayyy! I can't wait to get it! It will be shipped to me after June 15th though, but it's ok because a lot of the stores that I've called are sold out. Ok I am tired. Oh yeahhhhh.. my papa gave me $100 when I asked him for $20 to pay for the rest of my IPOD. God bless him! I love it when my grandparents spoil me.. har har. Ok, tomorrow I need to finish cleaning my room and wash my car. bye readers, I hope you enjoyed my boring update!
