HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY TO MY LOVE!

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday my dear Jonathan Jon Macaraeg Patalot! Happy Birthday to you!

D Jay Lo 408 (1:13:26 AM): i wasn't gonna eat until i found out my mom cooked spaghetti sauce
D Jay Lo 408 (1:13:40 AM): but no noodles. so, being a 21 year old, i cooked my noodles myself

Gosh you're old, but it's ok. So today, the bf and I spent time at valley fair. He bought a hot brownie sundae at Ghiradeli that I made him share with me.. yum. I bought some pj pants and a top at Hollister. Anyway, back at my house, we watched "Friends" and counted down the hours/minutes to his bday! We were about to go to 7-11 at midnight for Jonathan to buy his first beer on his own, but we were lazy. Anyway, I'm excited for tomorrow.. well technically later tonight. I'm gonna countdown with my honey.. can't wait to spend another year with you!

Last year, I did a little dedication to 2003. This year, I'm kinda lazy to do 2004. I guess the best thing about this year was my family and Jonathan because they never stopped being there for me. Here's a toast to 2004, you will be missed! Now it's time for 2005, I hope everything in my life works out for the best like it always does!

I want to keep track of vacation. Monday I watched "Sideways" with Mariel, Diana, Michelle, Dianne, Angela, and Ikan. Ikan paid for me because I didn't have cash, and they only accepted cash at the theaters in Santana Row. bitches! And they don't have student priced movie tickets! Anyway, I was "out of it" during the movie, so I didn't understand the beginning, but I caught on and it was a good movie. Tuesday I ran errands with the bf. He took me to dinner at Bennigan's, then we watched "Ray" at Cinema Savers. Very good movie! Wednesday was Leanna's Christmas Play. Watching all the students sing and act and stuff brought back some fond MHT memories of when we had our Christmas Concerts. That was a time when we didn't have class a lot in order to rehearse, and I would spend time staring at Jonathan who would be sitting a row away.. haha. Anyway, MHT has made lots of progress! The play had some colored lights, a BAND, wireless microphones, loud music, and a freakin SOUNDTRACK that was sold afterwards. Thursday I probably ran more errands during the day with the bf, then we went with my mom and grandma to Leanna's first bball game. They lost bigtime. Friday I didn't have work! yay! Jonathan and I went to watch "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" which was really good! Before, we had a quick and unhealthy dinner at In N Out. Jeremy and Hansen joined us during the movie, but they snuck in 30 minutes late. Freakin Jeremy knows all the tricks in being a cheapass I swear. They told the person working that they were going to use the bathroom... haha. Saturday I helped my sis organize her closet and all that, then got dropped off at the mall by Jonathan. I did some more Christmas shopping, then I went to work. Today I was a bum, picked up my sis with Jonathan, went to VF again for more Christmas shopping, then hung out at home with the bf. So far, break has been relaxing, maybe even too relaxing that I want to go out and get tired. That doesn't make sense, but oh well. I'm tired.

i feel like taking up more internet space

So I had a fun weekend. Thursday, I stayed home and watched the OC with my sister, and it was a goooooood episode! Friday, I spent the day with Jonathan running errands, and then going to Live 105's Not So Silent Night concert. We met up with Sher and Ellison, then saw Diana and Villiard later, and then Eileen. The winners of the contest played first, then Muse, Taking Back Sunday, Interpol, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, and finally Modest Mouse. My favorites were Taking Back Sunday and the Killers. Modest Mouse's performance could have ended better. Jonathan, Sher, Ellison, and I were in the middle of the mosh pit for a while. I was sweating so much that my jeans stretched out 2 sizes.. well maybe not, but it sure felt that way! Sher and I wanted to push these asian girls in the face, and there was this fat dude in front of us that staaaaaank. The concert didn't even really start yet, so we pushed the asian girls in front of us so they could be behind the stinky f*cker. hah! The night ended with us at Denny's talking about armpits, testing Jonathan because he didn't remember Ellison and Villiard's last names, and some other weird shit. Saturday the boyfriend and I had work, so we hung out after. He picked me up from work and we went to Villiard's house where they played poker. I fell asleep around 330am, they were still playing when I woke back up at 430! So Jonathan and I called it a night. Sunday Jonathan and I watched "Ocean's 12". It was a good movie I guess, but the ending could have been better. Well I guess the story line could have been better too. DONT READ MY NEXT SENTENCE IF YOU DONT WANT THE MOVIE TO BE SPOILED. In the movie, they should have come up with a plan that screwed Andy Garcia's character over, instead of just paying off their debts. OK TO READ NOW. Then we were off to work, and working Sundays with my manager Jena always makes me want to quit! And the brand reps that were working with us that night were sooooooo freakin annoying. One made a comment saying that she would kill herself if she was with a boy for 6 years! Next time I see that bitch at work... GRRRR. Anyway, my WONDERFUL boyfriend was there during my break, and he took Michelle, Ikan, and I to Jack in the Box. After work, Michelle, Denzil, and I talked in the parking lot until 3am! Today I was a bum and watched Scott Peterson news all morning. I think it's too bad that he got the Death Penalty, maybe because I really don't like it, but the facts do fit, and I agree that he is guilty. Anyway, my dearest came over for a bit, watched some tv, then ate dinner with my family. Now I'm hanging out with the sis.

p.s. I'll start posting pictures again. I've just been lazy.

update

So I had a funnn week/weekend. It was the lastttt week of winter quarter, which wasn't so bad actually. I think all I did was work, do last minute homework assignments, and go to school. Friday I had a blast! Jonathan and I had a final that morning, which sucked ass, then went back to my house at 10am and sleptttt until 1pm.. haha. I hate it when he hugs me when we sleep because he snores soooo loud RIGHT into my ear. I moved away, and he kept trying to hug me, but I stayed in place, and he just went back to sleep and kept snoring. Anyway, he came with me to Santa Cruz, and I had my very last class of the quarter. Our teacher bought pizza for the whole class of 150 people! We had some pizza, did evaluations, then went home. I cleaned up my room while Jonathan went back home to get ready. Then then fun began! We went to Christmas in the Park again with Joanne and Aboy (2 weeks in a row!), and met up with all of his cousins and significant others: Des, Mark, Donald, Jen, Dom, Charmaine (and her cute puppy Maddex?), and Bea. We grabbed some Starbucks, walked around the park, took pictures, went to La Victoria, then went to visit Jay, Bung, and Daysha! We played Scene It until 3am! It was hella fun, girls vs. boys. We played 5 rounds, 2 wins for the girls and 3 wins for the boys =(. It's cool though because we had a lot of fun. Then everyone went home. Some highlights of the night was Dom screaming to distract the girls from answering questions, Jen saying "I had that shit!!!!!", jumping up in the air and high-fiving the girls team, and everyone turning red because we were all heated and hot and into the game. Maybe even TOO into the game. But again, a great night, and I can't wait for a rematch!

Saturday I organized my closet, then Jonathan and I went to VF. I didn't get to buy anything because the line at Gap was sooo freakin long, and we saw Gene and Philip there trying to sell Jonathan an Ogo.. those things are pretty cool. I had work for a bit, then the bf picked me back up, and then hung out for a bit at home.

Sunday I woke up to my sister and mom bitching at each other. Jonathan came to pick me up and we went to VF again, and I was able to buy my mom's christmas present at Gap. I got a crepe, went home, and Jonathan went to work. For some reason I was really sleepy, so I took a nap and woke up just in time for work. I went straight to work, and it was a fun night.. I think because it was a late night! But still fun.

Wow I haven't had a long update like that in a while! Anyway, I'm alll done with schooool (well I just have to watch presentations tomorrow morning for my fem class.. but that's it). So far, I've done 1 thing on list of things to do during Christmas break. I'm excited for this month!
