I'm on a blogging spree! But today is totally blogworthy.. well for me at least. So don't read this if you don't care about detail.. just look at all the pictures I've posted down below in the other entries! Enjoy!

Jonathan and I had a grrrrrreat day. We haven't had a kick back/fun day like this in a while. Wellll this morhing I was kinda upset because we were supposed to take care of some business, and SOMEONE didn't bother calling me... but it's ok. We planned to go and watch "The Notebook", and to my surprise, Diana called me and asked me if I wanted to watch it. So Jonathan and I go meet up with Diana, Villiard, Sherilyn, and Ellison and Cinema Savers ($1.50 TUESDAYS!). Jonathan and I barely made it.. well we missed like the first two minutes of the movie, but it was sooo great. During the quiet scenes, all you could hear were people sniffing, and when you looked around, all you could see were people wiping their tears. There was this big buff black guy sitting in front of Jonathan and I, and he was crying his eyes out! If you haven't seen it, go watch it, and I'll go with you because it's worth watching again and again! Ok, so after that, Jonathan and I grabbed some sushi at Ariake. I really wanted to go and pick up the Pink Uggs I've had on hold for a while now, but I didn't have any freakin money with me =(. But it's ok, the sushi made up for it.. shrimp tempura and unagi.. yum! Then we went to Gap at VF so Jonathan could buy his khakis for Best Buy.. oh yeah, he got hired for Computer Sales 2 weeks ago! So go visit him! I really wanted to buy the blazers there, but again, I need to save my money. Then Jonathan gave me some good lovin.. sike! haha.. we went to my house and watched my "13 Going on 30" DVD.. another feel-good movie. For some reason, we were hungry again, so Leanna came with us to buy some food at Jack in the Box. I know, we're fatasses.. whatever. We were tired by this point.. so it was time for my honeybee to go home. ok the end.

so far, this has been the best week i've had in a long time.. kinda got crappy towards the end, but great!

dude.. i think i just had work this day, then i went to get some crepes with diana, hansen, and jeremy.

tuesday, august 17, 2004 HAPPY 14th BIRTHDAY TO MY COUSIN WILLIAM IAN RESPICIO ERDOS!
jonathan, lisa, and chris were at my house for a bit, and we were waiting for hansen and jeremy, but they alwayssssssss lag, so we left for the MHT class of '99 reunion dinner at bj's at oakridge. it was soooo great seeing everyone again.. well it wasn't everyone, but there were a lot of people i haven't seen in a while. let's see, there was niki, jackie, lorelei, micaela, john ta, hansen, jeremy, lisa, andrew, hector, jose, and tommy. the people that weren't in our class, but were still there were jonathan, chris, jo, james, and tommy's friend who i didnt talk to. we all caught up on what we've been up to these past 5 years, and a lot of them haven't changed a bit! after a great white and a pazookie, lisa and i were satisfied. we took some pictures outside of the restaurant, said our goodbyes and parted ways.

pics from miss lisa:
lisa, lorelei, and i

all the '99 graduates that were there

take 2.. lisa and lorelei grabbing jackie's boobs

this is nikki's real height! she's always been much taller than us.


hansen, jeremy, jose, andrew, jackie, nikki, hector, john ta, and i went to the giza hookah lounge downtown. lisa, jonathan, and chris were there for a while, but only because i was mad at them and they came to say sorry.. haha right guys? i'm kinda lazy to put up pictures, but maybe later. hansen and jeremy took me home after and they stayed for a while at my house. leanna told them stories about her life.. very personal/gross stories.. haha. they left around 4am-ish and then i went to bed.

wednesday, august 18, 2004 HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY TO MY DORKY DIANA BANANA NGOC NGUYEN
i had some complications in the morning that aren't worth talking about, so i missed diana's beach party. then i went with hansen, hansen's friend ian, and jonathan to san francisco to visit jeremy at usf. i thought we were gonna be home in time for diana's dinner, so i missed that too =(. but i had some dinner at this one diner in sf.. i forgot the name. jeremy showed us around usf, and their ugly ass dorms. chris lic was there too, so i caught up with him for a bit. hansen wanted to buy some pie, so we dropped by nations before heading home. back in san jose, we stopped by jonathan's hotel to pick up 2 for 1 admission coupons for six flags marine world!

thursday, august 19, 2004
woke up early, and woke everyone up early for our long-awaited day. lisa couldn't go anymore =( so we tried to manage without her =). Jeremy, Hansen, and Jonathan get to my house 2 hours late.. but we got to six flags marine world in vallejo just fine. So the first thing we did was pose for a picture.. you know those workers that just bug you. Then we rode 2 rollercoasters.. i think medusa and kong? medusa for sure. then we watched the dolphin show and saw ces-marie and narciso there, and they came to sit with us. after, we watched shouka the killer whale show. it wasn't nearly as exciting as the dolphin show, but jonathan, jeremy, and i got SOAKED. hansen and the others were smart in moving to the back. then we got in line for hammerhead, but jonathan changed his mind and didnt want to ride anymore, so i didnt ride because of him even though i tried to convice him. so jeremy and hansen rode together while i watched them. i was still mad at jonathan, but me made up for it by winning a GIANT chihuahua.. well it was a GIANT weiner dog, but i traded it for the chihuahua. then jonathan and i got a caricature drawn of us.. finally!!! then hansen wanted all of us to do one.. spent about $80 in all for freakin caricatures! then ces and narciso left and we got on 3 more rollercoasters, played more games, bought funnel cake, and bought our keyhole pictures. i slept on the way home, but our day did not end just yet.

this is jonathan and i as adam and eve. he chose it, not me. i wanted to be a princess and him a frog prince. it's pretty scandalous if you ask me!

then us smiling for a keyhole picture.


the four of us went to red lobster for hansen's grandpa's birthday, but we came late and the kitchen was already closed. but that was ok with us because we ate already. then we went to edgie's with two of hansen's family friends, and one of them was in my ate rizza's wedding when hansen and i were only 4 years old. small world. we played 2 on 2 on 2. jonathan and i on a team, hansen and jeremy on a team, and hansen's family friends on the other team. i played the first game, then gave up.. hansen's friends won the first game. then jonathan won the second game, and finally, hansen and jer won the third. then jeremy and jonathan dropped me off at home. long day and long night and an empty wallet!

friday, august 20, 2004
i was supposed to see hansen off at the SFO airport, but jonathan never showed up to pick me up. this was a horrible day for me because at around 5pm, jonathan says he's on his way, then i don't hear from him until 2am. anyway, that's another story. so i pretty much gave up on my boyfriend and went to mercado with cesar and met up with chris lic, linn, benny, richard, paul, and their other friends. we were supposed to watch the 10pm show, but they wanted to wait for josh, so we bought tickets for the 1155 show. i kinda didn't want to wait 2 and a half freakin hours for the movie, and neither did richard. during that wait, i called mariel to see what she was doing, so richard dropped me off at eileen's house where mariel, angela, dianne, and diana were at. they were going to a toga party!! they brought out a reddish sheet for my toga and i was so excited! we stopped by 2 albertson's to look for safety pins to pin our togas.. i got dressed in the parking lot and we were on our way to david's toga party. it was so fun. mingled and partied and went pee a lot. some drama happened, so we left, then went with mariel to her friend's house where dianne and angela and anne were at. they couldn't find the stuff they were looking for, so mariel just dropped me off at home. it started off as a pretty crappy night, but seeing some of my girl friends picked me back up.

thanks eileen. i stole this from your xanga. angela named anne and i the "papa smurfs" for the night because we didn't wear white togas.


saturday, august 21, 2004
this is when the week started to get boring. i went to see jonathan at his hotel for 5 minutes, then went to work. when i got home from work, he picked me up and we got some in n out. we didn't really finish eating because we started talking about things we really needed to talk about. blah. i guess the night ended alright.. but sometimes i wish parents were more understanding like my mom.

micaela built a fort out of the jeans. you can see michelle behind it. doesn't work look fun? freakin back to school shoppers need to calm down while they shop!


sunday, august 22, 2004
went to watch "princess diaries 2" with my mom and leanna during the day, then i headed off to work. after work, i stopped by jonathan's and we hung out for a bit. we talked things out more, and i think now everything is ok between us. it's weird because i'm not used to having problems with him.. but yeah, i love him.

today
picked leanna up from school, brought mama to sun jose hawaii but it was closed, so tomorrow, played car tag with jonathan, then he hung out at my house for a bit. i fell asleep watching the olympics. jonathan left, and i ate dinner.

Things have been looking up since my last post. Well, I probably didn't sound sad or upset about anything, so whatever, ignore that. It seem like summer is coming to a close, but it really isn't. I have freakin TWO WHOLE MONTHS until school starts for me on september 27 or 28... I forget. So let's recap on days gone by, I like to read back on my entries... even though my days aren't action-packed.

july 28, 2004
school, picked up kids, work

july 29, 2004
school, picked up kids for the very last time because it was their last day of school.. yesss!! went to work again, then went with Diana and Michelle to Maria's house to hang out and talk about politics. no lie.

july 30, 2004
It was Daysha's, Jonathan's niece, play.. and she was playing Shrek! Unfortunately, we were LATE because of SOMEONE and ended up missing the ENTIRE play!!!! I was so mad at him all day.. errr. But then we went to Red Robin (in San Mateo).. really nice and un-ghetto compared to the one's here. Then endeed the night with work and my paycheck.

july 31, 2004
I forgot what I did the entire day.. but I had work, then watched a midnight movie with Jeremy and my sister and Jonathan at Mercado and watched "Harold and Kumar". Very good movie! Oh yeah, there was also a sobriety checkpoint on McLaughlin, but I didn't know that it was a sobriety checkpoint. I just saw a whole bunch of cars getting stopped and a whole bunch of cops and it looked like they were going to be there all night. So I told JOnathan to go there on purpose, and we had a nice conversation with one of the cops about underaged drinking. Also, another cop told Jonathan to "wash your car man."

August 1, 2004
I hung out with the Lopez girl cousins all day! We went to Bulldog's because Krystal and Kaycee wanted to get their navels pierced. I held both of their hands.. Krystal had warm sweaty hands and Kaycee had cold sweaty hands. Then we went to Oakridge where Neneng and I went off on our own to buy crepes at QCup, then met back up with Krystal, Kaycee, Kaycee's bf, and Michelle. Then we had a last minute urge to take pictures at Sieu..


But first, Neneng and Michelle had to pick up money. After a longggg day with the cousins, I went home and hung out with my Jonathan.

August 2, 2004
Krystal and Kaycee leave for Florida. Krystal's going to be living there for a while, so I'm gonna miss you cuz! Anyway, Jonathan and I went to school, but were 30 miniutes late, didn't have to pick up kids, went to Sieu to pick up pictures and met up with Neneng, then worked.

August 3, 2004
Jonathan and I went to Oakridge before school because I had a craving for crepes.. so I had one at QCup. We were a little late for school, but whatever. Then we studied for our child development midterm.

August 4, 2004
Happy 12th Birthday to my twin cousins, Charlie and Charlette! Jonathan and I took our child development midterm, went to our other class, then went home to do nothing. I think I napped or something. Then I hung out with my Respicio cousins for Charlie and Charlette's birthday.. Jonathan came by.. then we went home to study for the rest of the night for Philosophy. Oh yeah, it was our last day of our Child Development class.. and our teacher was talking about research papers, and mentioned mine and said it was great! I was very flattered because my research paper was the only one that was talked about! cool!

August 5, 2004
THE LAST DAY OF SUMMER SCHOOL!!!!! Jonathan and I took our final.. I finished before him, unlike our child development final the day before where he finished before me. Then we picked up Amber and Tina, went to Valley Fair to buy stuff at Hollister and take advantage of my discount, bought a crepe at that crepe stand, dropped off the kids, then accompanied Jonathan to his ortho appointment. But I was still feeling sick, oh yeah.. I woke up sick this day.. anyway.. I slept in the car until he was done. I went home, napped, then Jonathan took me to work.

August 6, 2004
Went to the dentist with my sister.. I have one cavity =(.. haha well not really.. whatever! Afterwards, Jonathan and I went to the fair near my house because it was opening that day. We walked around and played some games then Jenna, Cesar, Daryl, and Benny met up with us. There was really nothing left to do because we didn't really wanna ride the rides... then we see Rich and Charisse, and we talk and stand around for a while. Then we all decide to go and watch "COllateral"(sp?) at Mercado. The movie was alright.. I was incredibly sleepy though.. so I went straight to bed.

Yesterday
I went to the CIRCUS with Jonathan, Leanna, Charlie, and tons of Jonathan's family! We went to Jay's first, watched "Soul Plane" then left for Oakland. Daysha was talking up a storm with Charlie and Leanna in the back. Anyway, we got to UNIVERSOUL CIRCUS, and it was soooo goood! It's actually the first and only African American Circus in the world. I've been to Ringling Bros, Cirque du Soleil and all that junk, but this one is definitely different and one of a kind. It was a lot of fun. Here's a picture of us with the baby tiger:

There were 12 of us total.. and Evangeline and Jay treated everyone out to IHOP after treating us all out to the Circus. The chocolate chip pancakes filled me up just fine. Afterwards, we all went home after a long day.

Today, I've been lounging around. But now I have to go to work.. So I'll update again in a few days or something! Hope you had fun reading, my readers!
