LA vacation and Christmas!

So a few days before we were scheduled to leave, Jonathan asks if I was down to go to LA with him and his cousins... luckily, my manager was cool and let me take off the days! So it was set, LA from Wed, Dec. 21 to Fri, Dec 23. Tuesday, Jonathan and I ran some errands, hung out at Jeremy's, then went to Jay's to sleep. Daysha woke us all up bright and early at 6am, and we were on our way... When we asked Bung what we were going to do, she said "I don't know. I think we're just gonna wing it."

So we, Jay, Bung, Daysha, Donald, Jen, Jonathan, and I, all pack our stuff into the Suburban and get situated in the car. We got comfy since we had a long drive ahead of us. Jay started asking us what time we thought we would get there, so we all made our guesses.. then he said that we each get to pick a stop, so our first stop was McDonalds for breakfast. So then we were on our way again... Jay said that he was gonna pick the next stop and we ended up at the San Jose Airport. Bung was getting irritated because he was wasting time. Turns out, he surprised us all when he said "Me? Drive? Hell no! We're flying!" We were all confused as hell, but we followed. We arrived at the Disneyland Hotel, and Jay hands us all our 2-day park hopper tickets to Disneyland and California Adventures! After we checked in, we went straight to Disneyland, rode all the good rides, then headed back to the hotel. Did I mention that Jay got 3 connecting rooms?? Yeah, each couple had their own room! I knocked out right away, while Jonathan went out with Donald and Jen.

The next morning, we got ready and figured we were going to California Adventures. We had breakfast at the Grand Californian Hotel then started another long day. We walked around in circles around the hotel and ended up in the parking lot. Jay said that we were gonna walk.. and we all grumbled and groaned, then all of a sudden he opens the door to a car.. I forgot what kind of car it was.. not a Surburban, but something big like that with a TV and everything. We all didn't bother asking him what we were gonna do, so I dozed off since we were stuck in LA traffic. When I woke up, we were at Universal Studios!! To make things better, we had "Front of the Line Passes" which is exactly what it sounds like. We didn't have to wait in any lines for any of the rides that we rode! Again, we rode all the good rides and called it a night... well after I knocked Spiderman's hand (but that's another story). We headed back to the hotel to eat snacks, meet with Santa, then headed to Downtown Disney to eat at ESPN zone. After we ate dinner in our separate reclining chairs, we played some of the games upstairs. Back at the hotel, we played a few rounds of last card, and finally called it a night.

Friday morning, we pack our stuff since our flight was scheduled to leave at 820pm. We check out, ate breakfast at a place in Disneyland, then head to California Adventures. We rode all the good rides, except for the big Rollercoaster because RIGHT before we were gonna ride, one of the cars get STUCK! Yup, with people inside! So we said "f that" and watched an Aladdin show which was reallllllly goood! We headed back to Disneyland, did some last minute picture taking, souvenir buying, and rode some more rides. We head to the airport, wait around for a long time play last card, and listen to all the announcements about all the cancelled flights. We didn't really pay attention because our flight was on time. We even scored an earlier flight.. but about 5 minutes before our flight was about to leave, they announce that our flight was delayed. So we played more last card. Then when it was time for our flight, they announce that it was cancelled!!!! I started crying because I was starting to get homesick and I really wanted to be home for Christmas Eve! But things turned out fine. Lisa called me and told me about the phat check from Abercrombie, so I called my mom right away and she told me about the even fatter check for me!!!! Too bad I already spent it all and then some.. I know, it's bad.

Jay tells us that he rescheduled our flight and the earliest was at 235pm =( but he got 2 rooms at the Grand Californian Hotel =). We went back to the hotel, played some more last card, girl talk with Jen and Bung while Jay was sleeping and while Jonathan and Donald were buying drinks, drank a little of the greygoose and cranberry, played slap jack buzzed, and then feasted because there was 24 hour room service! holler! Then we slept RIGHT after we stuffed our faces.. haha. We woke up bright and early, ate breakfast at a Lilo and Stitch place, and went back to the airport. Our flight was on time and back to San Jose!!!

So it was Christmas Eve and I was pooooped from my trip. As soon as I came home, I had to freshen up and leave right away to go to Auntie Esther's for the fam party. I was grumpy as hell because Jonathan was lagging!! I go to midnight mass with him and his fam, and when I come back, everyone had JUST finished opening their gifts! I was pissed because I really wanted to see the people I got gifts for open their gifts because I got all thoughtful gifts!!!! Some stupid stuff happened, and I just went home to sleep because I was tired from my trip.. plus it was 2am. My cousins called me to come back at 3am, but I was already in my PJs. However, before I went to bed, my love and I exchanged gifts. His were okayyyyyy, and ended up returning some a few days ago, but I loved seeing his face while he opened his new drums!! Then I went to bed.

Christmas Day, everyone slept in because of the long long night before, and I went with Jonathan to his aunt's house in Hayward for their Christmas Party.. then we head over to Sunnyvale for another Christmas Party. After more fam time, we headed home.

Monday, we woke up early again and headed to Auntie Hazel's. We were supposed to go to lunch, but it ended up being dinner in the city at Crustaceans which was hella good! Before that we went to Best Buy to get Leanna's photo ipod and Guitar Center to get her guitar. Talk about spoiled!!

Tuesday, I ran some errads with Jonathan and my sis. First stop was Target, then to Valley Fair to meet up with my fam. I bought my LV purse! The very first one that IIII actually purchased! Uncle Bill told me to get a matching wallet, but I was like ummmm, next payday.. hah. But he said "No, I'll get it for you!" So right now, my new love is my new purse =). Afterwards, Jonathan and I went to Guitar Center to buy the hardware for his drums... again, he was spoiled by me. But it's ok, he deserves it. He's been really good =) ahah. We go back to his house to drop stuff off then went to Union City to meet with my fam and watch "Cheaper By the Dozen 2". After another long day, we go back to his house to assemble the drums! We did a lot of rearranging and the drums look so good in his room =).

Wednesday, I worked. Went to VF again with the bf, then ate late night dinner at BJ's and saw Dominic there. I made a $50 bet with Jonathan that said that he was gonna be at my house past 11am, and we're not gonna have time to do anything.

This morninng, I got a call from Jonathan to open the door! He was really here! But, his ass was unshowered and still in his PJs. I went back to sleep, and when I woke up he was sleeping right next to me! hahaha. We got ready, headed to Carls Jr for lunch, Mervyns to do some exchanges, Eastridge to do more exchanges and purchases, and back to his house. I was pooped and ended up sleeping for about an hour while he hanged on his drums. When I woke up, we got some pomodoro to go, and he dropped me off. I just finished cleaning my room and it feels good! I have work in the morning! boooooo.

officially done with fall quarter 2005!

So yesterday marked my freedom from school for a whole month! I went to work in the morning for about 3 hours, went home to study but ended up going on myspace, drove to school early to sell back my books, then studied in the lecture hall for a good 30 minutes before my final. It wasn't so bad I guess... and I BETTER get an A in that class dammit! So when I got home, I rested for a bit then Jonathan tells me that we were going to his Pasta Pomodoro Christmas party at a club in the city 15 minutes before he picks me up! So I rush to get ready, and we get on our way. We were listening to 94.9 and I ended up singing the whole way to get Jeremy then to Club NV because they were playing good ass slow jams! The club was really nice! We got 2 free drinks each but I hated my first one... vodka and red bull! Jonathan and Jeremy got long island ice teas and I just think those things are nasty. So for my second drink, I just got a plain red bull. The music was very diverse.. I guess because there were older people there too so they had to play all kinds of music. After about an hour... Jonathan buys a "love shot" of Patron for the both of us... that got me really good. Then we danced some more, got sweaty, dropped Jeremy at USF, hung out for a bit, then called it a night. LONG DAY but a good start to my vacation!

Today, I woke up bright and early and woke Jonathan up bright and early because we were going to my dentist to get my top 2 wisdom teeth pulled!! When I got there, my dentist said he was just gonna pull one so I could eat and so I can go to work regularly. So a week from today, I'm gonna get the second one pulled. Seriously though, it took him like 3 seconds to pull out the tooth. He like pushed it with this long stick thing and it came out and he said "all done!" I was like holy crap that was NOT bad at all! I guess also because my right side of my face was numb. After I get my second one pulled out, I have to go to an oral surgeon to take out my bottom two since theyre growing out sideways =( I'm scared!! Anyway, my mom picked me up and went back to her work where I stayed on the computer and talked to some of her co-workers. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their office building. Then we picked up my sis, headed to Watsonville to watch her game against St. Francis Coastal something something school. They were behind the first 3 quarters, but at the very last quarter, they beat them! 33-31! It was a good "in your face" moment to the stupid bastards that screamed during their free throws and the stupid old dads that kept complaining about stupid crap! I went home for a good 5 minutes when my mom said we were going to walmart real quick to get shampoo and kitty litter. Well we stayed for 2 hours... buying a whole bunch of crap.. cat toys, pillows, blankets, blah blah blah. Jonathan was already at home too with my hot and sour soup that I asked him to get me! Sorry bub that you had to wait for 2 hours! Ok and now I am home and I have work in the morning. I really don't want to go to work... but it actually feels good to have time to blog again!

happy holidays!

I seriously have not blogged in a longggggg time. A LOT has happened since my last post, but it's ok. No one really reads this anyway, and the ones who do read this, already know what I do. So anyway, Thanksgiving was great! I had dinner with my family at Uncle Charlie's house. Mama and Papa came home the day before that!!!!!! After more than a year of not seeing them it was GREAT! and the day before that was Mommy's birthday... we went to Union City to eat dinner with Auntie Hazel and Uncle Bill. Back to Thanksgiving, after dinner at my uncle's, we went to Jay's house. I took 3 shots of Patron in a ROW and NOTHING happened to me! I guess because of all the food I consumed! OH WELL. I had fun playing that Shout About game and just doing what we alwayd do there.. hang out. I didn't shop on Black Friday because I was working, but I did go to Christmas in the Park with the bf and his cousins which was a GREAT start to the holidays! Oh wait, I did shop a little at Urban when we went to Santana Row just to walk around. Hmm... during the weekend we didn't party, we watched "Saw 2" at Mercado (yes I know.. hellllllllla old movie but that's what everyone wanted to see) which was a really good movie... and some more hanging out. I shopped all weekend =/ now I'm broke again! Ok... my entry feels so unorganized. Let's just say that I've been great.... and I'm soooooo excited for December to come.. it's one of my favorite months!!!!

Today I had LOTS of fun with the bf. I went over to his house to wake him up for our appointment, but I had NO LUCK. I had no luck yesterday morning either, and I even went to his house! This morning, I had better luck because his dad was JUST leaving and he let me in! So I woke him up, watched some "Family Guy" and convinced each other that we didn't HAVE to go to school today.. hahha. So he finished up his hw, stopped by SJSU to turn in his research paper, and hung out at my house. Ok... I get tired blogging now! I don't know how I used to do it before!

Imagine me going to Samford University.. haha. no offense to the people who go there!! Samford and Stanford sound way too similar to me, and I'd feel sad everytime someone asked me where I went to school and reply with "Samford"

sorry leanna and lisa... this someone relates to him again

So last night I was having a conversation with Gerard, and I asked him if he'd be ok with being a stay at home husband because I would totally mind being a stay at home wife. With the quickness, he replied with something like "I would LOVE to be a trophy husband" and asked if I needed a babysitter if Jonathan and I someday started a life together. I talked to Michael today and told him how Gerard would be the best babysitter because he can cook, clean, and all that jazz, and this was Michael's response to, "Ok, what you got then?": f mli ikpe1 (10:03:20 PM): i will be his guiding light. that's better than a clean house. and as guiding light i will be a small guiding light assiting the parents who are the guiding light and thus no need for a baby sitter. that's what i got. please i've been in it too. he might of walked with him. but i drove him! which saved his strength for other activities! booyakasha! haha. (Gerard would walk with Jonathan places to see me, and Michael would drive Jonathan places to see me.)

today was the highlight of my month!!! that all happened in the span of 10 minutes too!

D Jay Lo 408 (10:54:39 PM): blahaboo

means i love you

love = lottery

I'm in one of those moods right now, and also because 8 years ago on October 31, Jonathan and I danced for the very first time (yeah in 1997 when dark lipstick was in!). I guess you could say that was our very first moment together: dancing to "I Care 'Bout You" by Milestone (from the "Soulfood" Soundtrack) at the 7th/8th grade dance with Joel serenading (yes we go back THAT far) us in the background, Jonathan in a black polo and khakis (or jeans?) and me in my vampire costume (haha), and people taking pictures (pictures that I ended up throwing away because I looked ugly.. I should've saved them though). I sensed his nervousness and he probably sensed mine too. That rush I got from that 5 minutes I will never be able to explain. Oh puppy love...

So when I think about love, I think about the very first time I fell in love, which was of course with my Jonathan. I took love for granted during our puppy love phase. To me, falling in love with Jonathan was like winning the lottery my very first try. I guess that's why it felt too good to be true. After 2 1/2 years, I was sure that we were too young and still needed to explore while he was the one that was willing to do anything for me. I do not regret our 2 year hiatus because we were able to experience new things and to see what life was like without the other. Not surprisingly, the feelings were still there... 2 years later.

It's been almost 3 years since then, and despite our ups and downs, we still manage to get through it all. I know, I know, we both still have LOTS (and lots and lots) of growing up to do (together and separately), but that's what a relationship is - work (but not too much work). At times, I do feel like relationships are overrated - like, why have them at all? - but when those small-tiny heart-warming-tingles-with-butterflies-filling-your-stomach-i-love-you moments come, you know exactly what you're working for. I guess that's why now, I won't give him up without a fight, because who wins the lottery twice in their lives?

corny I know.. but whatever. I love him.

Road Trip to San Diego!

Friday, October 21, 2005
I was scheduled to work from 845am to 12pm, but my manager let me go home at around 11ish because it was slow! So that meant getting to San Diego earlier! Jonathan and Jeremy were out running errands and showed up at my house around 1130ish. We left San Jose at about 1230pm about to embark on our journey to San Diego!

On the road! (with jeremy passed out in the background)

scenery

I let the bf take a break while I drove for a little bit.

Lisa kept calling us every hour to see where we were, and she even mapquested our locations to tell us how long it would take us to get there. Excited much? yeah she was! haha. Finally, after being lost for about an hour (being just 5 minutes away from her house), Jonathan, Jeremy, and I arrived at 9pm. We unpacked our stuff and went to eat at this cute restaurant called Islands that had a cool Hawaiiain vibe.


When we got back to her house. We did a lot of hanging out and a lot of trying to figure out what to do. We ended up going to this guy's house at 2am. Jonathan made friends with all the boys there.. haha. He was running up and down the stairs like it was his place. I've never seen him so messed up in my life before! But this is him in the hallway when he was bored. He looked so cute. Just imagine him singing and tapping on the stair rail.

At that guy's get together, we just played cards and hung out basically. I didn't drink because I was tired from the ride that I just wanted to chill at Lisa's house.
Back at Lisa's, Brian, Angelu, Jonathan, and Lisa started drinking some more, while Jeremy was already passed out.. and while her roomies were sleeping.. and while I was trying to sleep. I seriously didn't sleep until about 6am because they were still awake! I was HELLA grumpy that night because all I wanted was some sleep! I even got kinda emo on everyone (sorry guys!). Then the bf started talking about how crappy he felt, and before you knew it, we were in the bathroom with me rubbing his back while he threw up all of the food and alcohol. Gross huh? it was his first time too. He never throws up. When we were finally going to bed, his ass fell asleep before me and started to snore SOOOO LOUD! I put a pillow over his face but then I took it off because I felt bad and just had to get over his snoring.

Saturday, October 22, 2005
The next morning, Jonathan and I headed downstairs, hung out with everyone, then we all got ready to go shopping. Lisa and I were so tired that we weren't even in the mood to shop. We stopped by Urban and this Adult Store. At the adult store that was filled with lots of porn and sex toys, Jonathan bought me this "Princess Parkway" street sign. haha. We all decided not to go to Fullerton anymore since it was 2 hours away and just partied in San Diego. After the mall, we all took naps, hung out some more, ate, and got ready to go to that stoplight party. We went to Old Navy to get red green or yellow clothes, but I ended up getting mad at Jonathan becaue he wanted to wear green! I don't think my boyfriend understood the concept of the stoplight party. But I guess it was better that we both wore green because no one talked to the people that were dressed in red.. haha. Before going to the party, we went to McDonald's and it was the longestttt we've ever been in a drive thru! Freakin 30 or 45 minutes and I'm not even kidding! Ok here are some more pictures from that party...

girls

boys

look at the background.. haha. dont worry, we were just pecking =)
I have LOTS more.. some probably xrated! jk! So if you're that bored, go to photos.yahoo.com/jule*ntonette. We left the party REALLY early, and by that, I mean 1am? haha. We went into the Harry Potter room/closet at Lisa's house. Afterwards, we hella ate. I don't remember much of that night. I just remember waking up next to Jonathan in Lisa's room wondering when the hell I went to bed! Gosh, we both went to bed so early! But it was a fuun night!

Sunday, October 23, 2005
We packed and got ready to leave, went into the Harry Potter closet again, age breakfast, and got lazy to take showers because Lisa said we didn't have to. haha. The drive was pretty tiring, and my wonderful boyfriend drove the ENTIRE time! I even asked him to switch too! We made a quick detour to Tommy Burger, this place Jonathan ALWAYS talks about, and they hella screwed up my order HELLA times! Eh. We made it back home by 10pm and that was our weekend! I know I left out hella details but I'm too lazy to remember and too lazy to post up more pictures... and I should also do my hw now! Bye my readers!

despite the fact i lost ALL my pictures and songs and school files and etc etc etc on my laptop, i had the best dam weekend with my bff and the bf and the bff's roomies and jeremy and bff's other friends and bff's classmates, etc etc etc. i'll post pictures later because pictures speak louder than words

oh myspace.. it's a love/hate kind of thing

jule*ntonette (12:31:38 AM): you might as well put "single" under your status
jule*ntonette (12:31:43 AM): since i am no where!
D Jay Lo 408 (12:34:01 AM): babe i love you

sunday night update

So I had another good weekend. Friday night was spent with the bf's family drinking and playing poker and Saturday night was spent with my family drinking and playing poker... haha. We also established that the weekend is bf/gf quality time since our week is so busy and we end up fighting about every little thing. Today I enjoyed my day off! Sundays are my only days off from both work AND school. I spent about 5 hours online talking to Lisa.. haha. I cleaned my room for a bit, showered, fell asleep, and Jonathan came over. He said, "Let's go to Urban." Yeah, my dear boyfriend said that. I don't think he has EVER asked me to go shopping.. haha. So we went to Urban, bought stuff (thanks bub), had dinner at Ariake, and then hung out at home. It's going to be another busy week.. but at least I have something to look forward to! Yay SoCal!

lkjakslkjadfkjlaseflkjksdaljfjkakldf

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking motherfucking shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also got my Halloween costume! Jonathan didn't find one for him though. Any ideas what he can be? Perhaps my black cat?

stupid cough!

So I've had this cough for the past week or two.. you know those phlegm-y coughs? Yeah.. hella ugly.. and after I'm done coughing, my voice is hella ugly! People offered to get me water so many times at work because I couldn't stop coughing and my voice was ugly. Anyway, I think I developed a cough because my body is getting used to getting busy again. The past week was my first full week of work and school, and boy, is it tiring! But at the same time, I love it, because it keeps me occupied with something to do.. and I don't find myself picking AS MANY petty fights with my love. I have a lot to write about, but I'm hella lazy right now. Let's just say school is school, I'm planning to intern in Sacramento... but first I got to apply and get accepted first. Work is cool, everyone is really friendly. They try to invite me to go places, but they're all like 21, so I can't go to the clubs and stuff with them.. oh well, 5 months!! I think I'm gonna post one of those counters so I know exactly when I will be turning 21. But then if I get an internship in Sacramento, I'll be there for April, May, and June, so no partying up! Well Jonathan said he would come and visit me, and I know Neiman goes home every weekend from Sac, so I'm sure I'd find a way back home. The app is due Dec. 2, so I have a while to think about it. Unless I do it for the Winter quarter, but the app is due Oct 28. Not enough time for me to get recommendation letters and stuff. Hmm.. besides school and work, home is good. I love "girl" days with my mom and sister.. getting our hair done and whatever. And as for Jonathan and I, we're good! Been fat asses... but it's ok. Maybe tonight we'll go to happy hour again.. haha

Friday night was Jen's surprise party at Jay's house.. took forever for her and Donald to get there, but we surprised her! The rest of the night was filled with chillen, playing with the kids, and Jonathan and I kicking EVERYONE's ass in Texas Holdem! Well it was him playing at first.. 6 players.. and the game was going really slowly. When we got up to go to the bathroom, I sat in for him with 5 of us left. I took out 2 people at once, then it was just Donald, Aboy, and me left. I took out Donald, and then took out Aboy! Jay was dealing me HELLA GOOD cards.. especially on the river!! Fun night! Saturday night, I went with Mariel to Nicole's house in sf (happy birthday!) and got lost along the way... but oh well. At least now we probably know the city even more? The party got broken up at like 1145! hella gay.. and Nicole ended up leaving real quick to eat while the party cooled down. Jonathan arrived, but we left like maybe 30 minutes after he got there (sorry babe). I was hella knocked out on the way home.. I don't even know what time we left or what time we got home. This morning, I woke up with a bad hangover and had to "release" it.... yeah gross I know! I went back to sleep, woke up, called my bf, and spent the rest of the afternoon with him until he had to go to work. Now I'm hungry again!

Pisces and Capricorn

A sympathetic and understanding mate will Capricorn find in Pisces, and the steady going temperament of Capricorn is just what Pisces needs for a sense of confidence and security. Sexual needs and social goals are compatible and very similar. One of the things that Pisces will admire about Capricorn is his very practical ways. With Capricorn learning that Pisces' dependence grows more with the years, this will fulfill Capricorn's desire to be needed. This combination seems to work very well. This is a good combination with complimentary values. They will find comfort in one another providing Capricorn displays his emotions at least once in awhile.

I can't even stress how TRUE this is!

So this past week has been a hard one! Teller training, not seeing my love, in addition to being a little sick and PMS!!!! Luckily, I passed my teller training for BofA so my official first day is on Monday. I'm telling you, all the dam transactions I had to do haunted me. I did soooo many transactions this week, and I was worried that I wasn't going to pass our final test in the end. We had to get 90% or better, and I got 97%, which means I got 2 points off out of 82! Yeah, it was a bit nerve wracking, but I made it. I met lots of cool people too.

I didn't get to see my honey Monday through Wednesday. Our school/work schedules are so packed now, but it's ok. I saw him on Thursday, but literally for just a second. It was a pleasant surprise though =) I missed him a lot!! Last night, he took me out for dessert at Hukilau because he was in the mood for live music. So we listened to the Hawaiian band play while we enjoyed our hot fudge brownie with vanilla ice cream! Today, I <--- (yeah can you believe that) drove to his house and helped him clean his room. HOPEFULLY he'll keep it clean like that for AT LEAST a week this time. Then, we grabbed some dinner at Pasta P on the Alameda because there were live jazz players playing. It was basically two guys, one on jazz guitar and one on a sax just jammin. Dinner was good, the music was good, and Jonathan was just a fat ass. He had an appetizer, salad, his dinner, and half of my dinner! But then he took me out for a hot fudge sundae at Ghiradelli at VF.

He's out at a bar again tonight, and I felt left out once again, but he reassured me before he left that we have "the rest of our lives" to do everything together. Yeah, HE said that!! Can you believe that? I thought I was trippin too, but he really did say that! Jonathan? Talking about the future? All I need now is a pretty gold...

i love you...

time flies

I can't believe it's almost October. You know what that means? 5 more months until I'm 21! haha. Anyway, I haven't been doing anything but going to training everyday this week 9am to 6pm. We've been getting out early, except for today. There are so many nit picky things to remember! But it's ok, I really like BofA, especially after I read about ALL of the benefits! Well, I didn't even read them ALL either, and I'm already happy! I get discounts of DISNEYLAND tickets! I get no or low interest on credit cards! I get an associate discount on my Verizon account! I get tuition reimbursement every year! And much much MUCH more. I've met a wide range of people this week.. the people in my training class. Some are married, some have children, some are much much older and younger. One girl is my age and she just got MARRIED this past summer! I thought that was pretty cool, but she's still in school. I don't think I'm gonna get married any time soon. I've got way too much schooling ahead of me still. Besides going to training everyday (and missing school!!!! hopefully I won't be too behind on Tuesday), I've just been spending my evenings here at home catching up on some rest. Also been watching the Giants.. too bad they're losing REALLY badly right now to the Padres 9 to 1!!! What a shame! I haven't seen my beloved since Sunday =( but we'll be reuniting this weekend, hopefully before that. Ok I'm lazy now... until next month (2 days), bye my readers.

p.s. It feels so good to have 3 out of my 4 credit cards paid off! I also closed the credit card that I still need to finish paying off. BUT, I charged on one of my cards to buy something, but I'm planning to pay that off with my next paycheck.. so I guess technically right now, I have 2 out of 4 credit cards paid off.

back to being busy and already getting tired

I woke up with a really bad hangover this morning and threw up TWICE. I hate throwing up... the last time I threw up was in august after our big family party. blah! I also woke up and I didn't have my hibiscus necklace on! I looked outside and it was on the cement next to my door! If I had lost that thing... I don't know what I would've done. I also remember being really tired and wanting to just pass out, but Jonathan had to walk me to my door. He brought me to my room and to my bed, but when I heard the front door close and lock, I got up! I was upset because he didn't give me my pajamas and just let me sleep in my jeans and tank!!! I think he got annoyed because he just drove off =( sorry babe. I went back inside, changed, and passed out. It was a weird night at Jeremy's house... I dunno. Something else also provoked me to drink as much as I did, but that's something I'll have to discuss with my bf later on...

So since my last post, I started school and started training at my new job. I almost went to school on Tuesday even though school didn't start until Thursday, so good thing I double checked the calendar and called some friends. So school is cool, I'm taking 3 classes = 15 units, and 1 class had no section/lab and the other 2 classes have optional discussions/labs. It kinda sucks that I have to miss all next week because of teller school, but I think I'll be able to handle it.

Bank of America is cool. The people are really cool, and they already invited me to go clubbing with them, but eh, I'm not 21 yet. It sucks so much. I have like 5 months and 20 something days until I turn 21... 20 is such a teaser age and I hate it =( Jonathan's been 21 for almost 10 months already and he's gonna be 22 soon! What an oldie.

Anyway, speaking of Jonathan and I, we're doing just fine. I've been sending him pictures of rings.. haha. Don't worry, I don't want to get married, I just want a cute pretty ring! But I don't want one if he really doesn't want to give me one. I just thought that since we've been together for so long, it would be nice to just have one that represented us. But I'm probably just going through a ring stage right now.. last time I was going through a necklace stage. Blah. Also, we're both getting really busy now and it's hard for us to spend time together. He doesn't think it's a big deal, but I do.. only because I miss him. Buttttttt, he does know how to make up for things! Late night dinners and chocolate souffles! I love you! And sorry for being emo last night =)

Ok I think that's it for now. I've also been using dial up for the past week because sbcyahoo didn't tell us it was time for us to renew our contract, so they disconnected our dsl and when we renewed it, they made a processing mistake, so now we have to wait until the end of this week again. Sucks a lot because I need fast connection in order to do a lot of my hw that's due this week.

2nd [boring] post of SEPTEMBER!

Thursday, September 8, 2005 - Happy 20th Birthday Jeremy!
I went to Leanna's first volleyball game ever at ND with my mom, but unfortunately, they lost. Then we went back home and counted down the hours to the season premiere of "The OC"!!!!! Jonathan came over too but played the piano most of the time.

Friday, September 9, 2005
This was JULE and JONATHAN day because it was his only day off! So the plan was to eat lunch then watch a movie or whatever, but we lagged a little here at home because he was playing with the cats and started playing the piano. But at least he can play "Ordinary People" now. Then we made a quick detour to his house so he could change, but the cable guy was there, so we had to wait a little longer until the cable guy was done doing whatever he had to do. FINALLY, we arrived at Pasta P to grab some lunch, and then Jonathan's coworkers informed him that he had a meeting, so I waited in the car impatiently until the meeting was over. I was hella BMing already, so he just took me to the Pasta P in Santana Row for lunch/almost dinner. We were hella full and just went back to my house. We slept for about 2 hours, then went clubbing with Neiman and Villiard at The Forum in Sunnyvale. That "Adobo" thing for SJSU was going on, so lots of SJSU people. We met up with Brian and his friend in the parking lot. Danced the night away, grabbed some Wendy's that tasted sooooo goood, and went to bed!

Saturday, September 10, 2005
I went with my mom to Auntie Venie's house for the last day of the Novena and I ended up falling asleep on the couch. I ate, hung out with the cousins, then went with Jonathan to Jay's house to watch the Pacquiao fight but missed it and didn't even watching it because Jay told us that he won. Then we played some poker and the last two left were me and Jonathan. Jonathan won, but I let him. Then we went home and waited for my mom and sister to come home, but my sister told me that they were gonna sleep there, so I had Jonathan drop me back off at Auntie Venie's and I went to sleep right away on the uncomfortable couch/floor.

Sunday, September 11, 2005 - Happy Birthday Auntie Myrna!
When we woke up, we went back home and I stayed home. Then Jonathan and I went to church and they wouldn't let me do the offering because I was wearing sandals. Hello? Jesus wore sandals if no shoes at all!

Monday, September 12, 2005
I didn't want to be bored all day long, so Chris picked me up and we spent the entire day with Lisa. We got some viet sandwiches and chilled at her house. Jonathan came over and we chiled some more. Then Jonathan and I went back to my house and hung out some more.

Tuesday, September 13, 2005
Took the bf to school, cleaned the house a little, picked him up and headed straight to Jay's. Then we headed to SF for the Giants' vs. Padres game. Giants' kicked butt! It was hella funny because when Fick was up for bat, Donald kept talking shit to him, and Fick ended up getting a homerun right after. haha. But we sat in the dugout right behind the catcher! Like we were first row, touching the nets! They were awesome seats. I was pooped by the time we got home so I just slept.

Wednesday September 14, 2005 - Happy 23rd Birthday Michael!
The bf came by, went to sjsu real quick, then back to my house. He started writing his paper, and I even did some readings for him! We took a break to eat dinner then he continued with his hw again. I ended up falling asleep while I was watching TV, and he woke me up when he was done so I could peer edit it. Then he went home to study for his exam/watch "back to the future"

Thursday, September 15, 2005 - Happy 20th Birthday Sheila!
I dropped the bf off at school, cleaned my room, picked the bf up, chilled at home for a bit, then headed to Cheesecake for Sheila's birthday dinner. It was fun again seeing everyone. Too bad we had to wait 2 hours until we got our table! After some fun dining with friends, the bf and I went to Villiard's house and played some poker. He was actually eliminated before me. I got third place. Then we were tired and left.

Friday, September 16, 2005
I did a lot of nothing again all day long, and Jonathan didn't have work and came over! Then we picked up Leanna at school, bought some pizza, and uploaded the OC episode I missed from the previous night from my sister. I watched some of it at home, in the car on the way to David's house, and finished it on the way to Bay Meadows. Jonathan ended up winning in 2 out of the 5 races he bet, but he lost more than he won, also especially since he spent lots of money on beer/food. We made a detour to Lisa's house on the way home to spend her last night here in San Jose with her. We ate some ice cream, chit chatted, then said our goodbyes. She started tearing up when she was hugging us goodbye, but I told her to suck it up! I probably would have started crying too if we were there longer. I'll miss you Lisa, but I'm only 7 digits away, so call me anytime! I love you!

Saturday, September 17, 2005
My mom and my sister were gone all day long for my sister's vball tourney, then Jonathan came over. We chilled for a bit at home, went to Office Depot to get my school supplies, grabbed dinner at La Victoria, went back to my house again, then went to Jessica and Melanie's birthday party and drank a little and got a little tipsy.

Sunday, September 18, 2005
I did nothing all day long again! Well actually, I ate breakfast with my mom and sister, watched some on demand, showered, watched tv, and hung out with the bf. He took me to get a viet sandwich, then went back to my house until it was time to pick up my sis from church. After he went home, I got rid of a lot of the clutter on the walls in my room, arranged the stuffed animals I haven't seen in about a year, and just finished cleaning my room. I think I'm gonna go to bed soon... after I grab a midnight snack.

It's my half birthday! and I start school tuesday! klkjaflkadfkasfk

it's wednesday!

Monday, August 29, 2005
The bf came over when work was over, and then we headed to Eastridge to pay my Macy's bill and I turned in some apps. Eastridge is lookin pretty nice now, but too bad the jobs over there don't pay well. I got some call backs, but I didn't bother calling them back because I wasn't really interested anymore. After, we headed to San Francisco to Jo's apartment so Jonathan could fix the wireless internet. It took him about 10 minutes, but we hung around for a while. Then I told Jonathan that I was eligible to FINALLY get an upgrade for my cell phone, so we went to Stonestown and got my new cell phone! I can't believe it's already been 2 years. The reason why I switched to Verizon was because that was the only service I could get at my dorm... how time flies. Jonathan played with my phone more than me and we went to my house for a little bit where he played with it some more.

Tuesday, August 30, 2005
Jonathan came over, dropped him off at school, went back home and watched tv until it was time to pick him up. Then we went to the verizon store because Jonathan found an excuse to get a new phone. The same phone, but a new one without any scratches. he was still jealous of my cool phone. Dangit, I forgot what else we did, oh well.

Wednesday, August 31, 2005
He finally had a free day for me. We went to VF, applied at more stores, walked around, then went to Sears for Jonathan to rent a tux. While at the tux place, I got 3 phone calls, and scheduled interviews for two of them! Ok, I forgot what else we did again.

Thursday, September 1, 2005
Jonathan came over, dropped him off at school, went home and watched tv, picked him up, headed straight to VF, interview with Victoria's Secret and job offer from Forever. I'm still leaning towardrs VS more though... more incentives. Saw Jenn, then left the mall. We went to Jonathan's for a bit, took phone survey for VS that I messed up on, but was able to re-take it. I forgot what else we did again, but we most likely just hung out at home.

Friday, September 2, 2005 Rest In Peace Grandma Ipa
My mom woke me up early and told me that Grandpa Ipa passed away at 4am, I was still a little drowsy so I fell back asleep. When I woke up, I realized what my mom said to me that morning. When Jonathan came home from work, I told him, and that's when it hit me and I couldn't stop crying. I was supposed to go with him to Des' wedding rehearsal, but there was no room for me in the car. I hate it when his ass does that to me! I cried even more because my mom was gone running errands with my aunts for the funeral, my sister was at school, so I was basically home alone. Eventually, my mom picked me up and we went to Auntie Venie's where most of the family was. We prayed the rosary, and just hung out. It was also Leanna's first ND Mixer, so my cousins and I went to pick her up. It was kinda fun. At around 12, Jonathan was FINALLY available. It totally sucked because I really needed him, but he was too busy for me. It turned out that he had to go back to the hotel because Des needed him to drop something off, so he decided that he was gonna just stay the night because it would've been pointless to drive back in the morning for the wedding, so when he picked me up, we went back to my house, packed my stuff in a hurry, then headed over to the hotel near SFO. I was already exhausted because it was 1am when we arrived, but I was hungry, so Donald ordered pizza for me, him, and Jonathan. Crazy huh? They delivered pizza at like 2am! Joanne and Bea were already passed out, and I was falling asleep with Des, the bride! and Jonathan and Donald slept on the floor.

Saturday, September 3, 2005 Congrats Des and Mark!
We all woke up bright and early, but kept going back to sleep because the wedding didn't start until 3pm. But Jonathan and I got ready early anyway, and I headed over to the suite and helped Des and the other girls get ready. Time flew by really quickly. Before we knew it, it was already 230pm! Jonathan, Donald, and I rode in the limo with Des and the other bridesmaids to the church. I cried like a baby, especially during their vows. Oh man. Then it was time for the reception! It seemed like an eternity but we finally got to eat and my sirloin steak tasted so good! Our server gave our table a bottle of wine and served us all champagne for the toast, but the only one legal to drink was Jonathan.. haha. But it was cool anyway. The bf got a little drunk off of all the merlot her drank, then he mixed it with apple cider and it tasted hella good! Then we watched Des and Mark's first dance, father/daughter and mother/son dance, money dance, bouquet and garter toss, etc. I didn't catch the bouquet, and Jonathan was NOT EVEN THERE DURING the garter toss!!! He was outside SMOKING! I got mad, so I told his mom... hahah. But he said sorry, and he told me not to worry because I was gonna catch a bouquet "really really soon" accroding to him.. sooo whatever he meant by that, it made me not upset anymore. We all danced the whole night... lots of fun.. helped clean up after, went straight home, and arrived around 1 or 2am. I was pooped so I slept my ass off.

Sunday, September 4, 2005
Leanna and I stayed home like bums while my mom was out running errands and while Jonathan was at work. Jonathan came over for a bit, then my mom dropped off Ashley and Charlie, and all of us plus Leanna went to eat lunch at Costco.. very filling! Then to Oak Hill for Grandma's viewing. I don't know why some people were scared to see her, it just looks like she's sleeping. She's smiling too, so she passed away peacefully. Anyway, we prayed the rosary, dropped the cousins and sister at auntie Venie's, back to my house to pick stuff up, then back to Auntie Venie's again. Jonathan played poker with some of my cousins while I was inside with more cousins. Then we headed home.

Monday, September 5, 2005
Stupid Jonathan didn't have work until night time, but he still didn't find the time to see me before he went to work!!! BLAH YOU SUCKHEAD! Anyway, I forgot what we did during the day, but we went to Oak Hill for the Rosary, went to McDonald's with Leanna real quick, then back to Oak Hill. I was able to see more family, and that's when it really hit me that Grandma was gone. It made me sad that my Papa didn't get to see his sister, but at least Grandma is reunited with Grandpa Fidel now. I guess when love is that strong, it's hard to live without each other. Right after, we went to Auntie Venie's again, hung out with the fam, and went back home.

Tuesday, September 6, 2005
Woke up really early, auntie Hazel came over, grabbed a quick breakfast at McDonald's, then headed to Oak Hill for the very last viewing before they closed the casket, went to MHT for the mass, back to Oak Hill for the burial, then to Sam Kee for the reception. We continued at auntie Venie's house, hung with the fam some more, fought over sleeping places on the couches, then left with Leanna and Jonathan. We made a quick stop to Office Depot, the bank, then went home and rested. Jonathan and I watched the Giants game vs. the Dodgers... pretty good. Leanna and I went to pick my mom back up at auntie Venie's, then rested at home.

Wednesday, September 7, 2005
Today I slept in, then ran some errands with my mom. I had my interview with BofA near my house... FINALLY and got hired on the spot. She didn't even interview me, she just told me she'd call me as soon as she found out when my training started, so yay! Hopefully I start before school starts so I don't have to miss class for training. Then went back home, watched some tv, Jonathan came over, hung out for a bit, then picked up Leanna from practice and headed to Auntie Venie's where we were for the rest of the night.

phew... and there's my update! I can't believe it's already September... school is starting soon!

it's monday again!

Monday, August 22, 2005
After the bf got out of work, we went to sjsu and spoke to an advisor, then went to this other office, and then went home. Back at home, we spent a good 4 or 5 hours figuring out his school schedule. At around 9, we ate dinner, then he headed home.

Tuesday, August 23, 2005
Jonathan had work so it semi-ruined our Boardwalk Tuesday! But right when he got out, around 3ish, we headed over to Santa Cruz and met up with everyone at the volleyball nets. It was realllllly cold, so I just stayed on the sand with a towel covering me most of the time. We all walked around the Boardwalk for a while, then everyone left. Jonathan and I stayed around the arcade for a little bit and finally took our booth picture for the summer! It was long overdue! But we usually take our booth pictures around this time anyway. Then we made a quick stop to Best Buy and bought The OC Season Two DVD! Thanks bub! Then he dropped me off at home, rested, and began watching my DVD.

Wednesday, August 24, 2005
The bf had work again, and I forgot what I did? I think I just stayed home until Jonathan came over and we hung out for a little bit? Man, I forgot, oh well! Oh I remember bugging Jonathan for my oil change, but we never did it! Oh yeah we also went to Circuit City... I think? hahha. nevermind. Now I remember! I spent almost the entire day watching The OC, and finished later that night with Leanna. We watched the entire season in 2 days.. haha.

Thursday, August 25, 2005
Jonathan's first day of school! He came over to the house bright and early, FINALLY got my oil change, grabbed some brunch at Lee Sandwiches, then went straight to sjsu and dropped him off. Back at home, I watched my soaps, ate, and then picked Jonathan up. We headed straight to Jay's to meet with everyone, then were on our way to the Improv Comedy Club Downtown to see Mike Epps. First we had dinner, then the opening act came on. He was HELLLA funny, I forgot his name though. He made jokes about Filipinos because his wife is filipino, and we were the only filipinos in the place. A really good act though. Finally Mike Epps went on and I laughed until my cheeks started hurting.


Then we hung out at Jay's for a while and called it a night.

Friday, August 26, 2005
Jonathan FINALLY didn't have work! But what did we end up doing? We went to an sjsu bookstore where Jonathan returned some books, got only $20 back, then bought more books and spent about $160. We grabbed some lunch at La Victoria, then went back to sjsu again so he could speak to an advisor, and plan out the rest of his time there. Very productive I think. We went home for a bit and I napped. Then we headed to pasta p so Jonathan could pick up his paycheck, then to Circuit City to return the earbuds Jonathan bought, then headed to Great Mall and actually stayed there until closing! I checked out the new Abercrombie and Hollister, and they ARE outlets! I remember the clothes from last year. Still pretty cool though. This was the first time Jonathan bought stuff and I didn't, but I guess because I don't have money to shop either! haha. We went to Jay's, played some poker, and played on the "time machine", then called it a night.

Saturday, August 27, 2005
Mommy, sissy, and I had breakfast, then went school supply shopping... for Leanna only since I don't start for another 3 weeks. I LOVE school supply shopping! Then we went to Auntie Venie's and visited grandma Ipa. She's not doing so well, and it was just heartbreaking just seeing her on her bed, just looking at us, but not saying anything =(. The doctor's gave her only a few more days, so everyone is just saying their goodbyes. At least she'll be reunited with grandpa Fidel soon. So I hung out with the fam until Jonathan picked me up to go to San Leandro for Raymond's birthday dinner at some Chinese Buffet. The food was hella good. We were gonna go to Tracy for his party, but we were tired and Jonathan had work, so instead, we went to Chris Tich's party for a bit, then went home at like 1130. The earliest we've ever gone home from a party. We usually go to parties at that time! For the rest of the night we just hung out at home.



Sunday, August 28, 2005
Leanna and I organized her school supplies, watched some TV with mommy, then headed over to MHT because it was Leanna's orientation for confirmation. Oh confirmation days! I miss them, but I don't think I'll ever go back to being a leader. Anyway, she was put on the waiting list, but we stayed anyway just in case. Mommy and I headed to auntie Venie's again while Leanna went to mass, and visited grandma. She was still in bed, not speaking, but looking at whoever was talking to her. At least most of the family was there last sunday when she was talking to everyone. It was hot like a mother at the house, and Leanna and I both ended up falling asleep and woke up while the VMAs were on. Then we went home and watched the rest of the VMAs. Jonathan came over for a bit, played with the cats, watched tv, then called it a night.

Monday, August 29, 2005
Today is Leanna's first day of high school! Too bad I was still sleeping when she left. I wanted to take a picture of her in the uniform. I hella miss ND and the uniform! Our uniform was cool because you could hella mix and match. So far, I've just brushed my teeth, watched tv, and be a bum.. haha. I'll probably shower now, clean my room, watch more tv, and wait for Jonathan to get out of work so we can run more errands today. The episode of Perfect Proposal made me HELLA cry! The couple has been together for 9 years.. they were high school sweethearts and throughout college, and it was just so cute. The guy reminded me of Jonathan because he had no idea what his gf's favorite romantic place was because he said he always lets her pick what they do. It's allll good though. I'm pretty sure I'm with the man of my dreams, so where's my ring at? haha. Just kidding... kinda. Ok, time to not be a bum! Well maybe in 10 minutes.

the rest of monday monday to monday

Monday, August 15, 2005 - Happy 19th Sam!
I just stayed home for the rest of the night bc the bf was in San Francisco helping Joanne move in.

Tuesday, August 16, 2005
Boardwalk Tuesday! Too bad I woke up at 9, and woke everyone up at night and was ready by 10, but didn't leave until 1230 because some people are just laggers for life!!! By the time Jonathan, Jeremy, and Hansen showed up, I was already falling back asleep on my bed. Then we met up with Lisa, Casey, Jolina, Quang, and Chris. We had fun times, but I was too cold to go boogie boarding. This tuesday is the last beach day! Afterwards, I rested at home.. and I think that's all? I don't remember. Oh wait.. some drama with the fam.. eh. Then freakin Jonathan left me at home again and went out to a "bar". bleh

Wednesday, August 17, 2005
Stayed home most of the day, probably picked up Leanna from school, then when mommy came home, we dropped of chairs at Uncle Charlie's, then she dropped me off at Jonathan's. While I was there, I cleaned his room - under his bed, in all his drawers, organized everything. I didn't do too well of a job though because I was getting pretty tired. Then we went to Circuit City then back to my house and hung out for a bit. We played card games, learned how to count cards for blackjack, then we called it a night.

Thursday, August 18, 2005 - Happy 20th Diana!
I stayed home for most of the day again, picked/dropped off Leanna from ND. Our power was out for a little bit too! Then I was home by myself while Leanna was at practice, so I talked to my dear Samantha on the phone for a bit - how I miss that girl - and sat outside on my laptop waiting for Jonathan to pick me up. When he arrived, we went back to his house, and I cleaned his room even more, threw away more crap, and found more memories from our past. I even cleaned the inside of his car! Then we headed over to Cheesecake factory for Diana's birthday dinner, and I had lots of fun with my high school girls and some of my good guy friends too! Jonathan was in a rush because he HAD to go to dnb's with his friends, so we left right when dinner was done. boooo! It's ok, I have a feeling I'm gonna be getting more attention again.. haha.

Friday, August 19, 2005
I took Leanna to ND to take her freshman picture!! awww.. my sissy is growing up so fast. I showed her around Manley hall and then we found her locker. I am so excited for her. Then we went back home, and I got ready for the concert! Leanna went out, then Jonathan picked me up right when he got back from work, back to his house so he could get ready, showered, got ready some more, then were on our way to pick up Villiard. I was hungry, so I went to Barcode with Neiman while Villiard and Jonathan went to Quiznos. Finally, we were on our way. I was hella tired for some reason, so I slept most of the way, when I woke up it was already 630 and I was getting nervous that we were going to be late for the concert! We arrived during the first act of the preshow - The Animal Liberation Orchestra. I didn't really like their performance. We finally found seats, it was sooo packed. Then Mike and Tracy arrived. Matt Costa was the second performer, and he was better than the first act. Finally, Jack Johnson came on at 9. During the first few songs, we stayed UP where our seats were. Then Jonathan and I headed down to the very front to the stage and we could see Jack's face. It was much much much better down there. Then he called the rest of them and they went down too. Afterwards, we met up with Neiman, Melissa, and James. It was wayyy crowded on Berkley's campus.. wayyy. We all headed to Denny's in Emeryville. Villiard, James, Neiman, and Melissa got stuck with a sucky server, they didn't even get their food! We were in the booth next to them and we got our food right away. Then, Jonathan and I went home - we were pooped. It was a goooood concert!

Saturday, August 20, 2005
Jonathan and I were supposed to go to Charissa's baby shower and run some errands before the Pisbakal Banquet, but there were some obstacles that got in the way =( It's ok though. Chris dropped Jonathan off here at my house, then Jonathan brought the wrong pants, so we went back to his house and picked them up. We got ready for the Banquet, then mommy, Leanna, Jonathan, and I were on our way to the Hilton. We all practiced our dances for a little bit - and good thing we did because we hella needed it. Then we had to take pictures because of the parents, then it was time for dinner! The program was pretty boring because it was just a bunch of speeches and invocations and oaths and stuff, so while all that was going on, our table told black jokes, and Gene showed us his magic trick with the floating spoon. haha. Then it was time for us to dance, and we didn't mess up! Even on the boogie! Then back to dinner, and after everything, it was time for the dancing! I danced with the girl cousins for a bit, then Jun Jun and Marlon took out the Hennesy! I got drunk like there was no tomorrow and danced like there was no tomorrow with the cousins and the other relatives there. Lots and lots of fun. I took a million shots with Marlon and then we got every adult relative that passed by us to take a shot with us. haha. Then, it was our very own cousin after party in the spare room they rented for us. Jonathan, Jeremy, Gene, and Charles played poker while the rest of us were still drunk. Some of us passed out, talked, watched tv, and passed out some more. My stomach started to hurt really bad, so I went into the bathroom. My mom came into the room while Marlon and Jonathan were taking care of me, and she made fun of me and called me a drunkie. haha. Then she made me throw up, and I felt a lot lot better. Jonathan left bc him and cousin Jeremy both had work. It's ok though because I ended up passing out next to Marcel and by 2am.. ahaha, early I know.

Sunday, August 21, 2005
I woke up with a bad hangover, tried to sleep some more, but didn't work. I went into the other rooms where the parents were, found some food, then went back home with my mom and sister only to get ready again. We went to a restaurtant for Gene's grandma's death anniversary, hung out with the cousins some more and shared our drunken stories from the previous night. haha. Then we went to auntie Venie's house, hung out some more, drank some Jamba Juice, watched FX movies on TV, then went to church with mommy, Leanna, and Jun Jun. Afterwards, mommy, Leanna, and I went home, I put on my PJs, and relaxed on my bed. Jonathan stopped by for a little after finishing moving Joanne in, gave me my camera, then I uploaded all the pictures. I had a greeeeeeat sleep last night, and now, I have no more hangover.

Monday, August 22, 2005
Nothing so far. I'm just planning to rest, clean my room, go with the bf to SJSU, oil change for my car, and that's it.

go to my picture page at photos.yahoo.com/jule*ntonette. It's all updated!

wednesday to monday

Wednesday, August 10, 2005
Practiced at Uncle Charlie's house. It was really productive. Jonathan and I FINALLY learned boogie... because he ACTUALLY showed up. Then we had dinner, and went home.

Thursday, August 11, 2005
I don't even remember doing anything. I probably hung out with Jonathan for a bit.

Friday, August 12, 2005
Ran errands ALL DAY LONG with my mom and sis. We went to a million grocery stores to get ready for Leanna's bday party. We weren't done until about 8 at night. Then we started cleaning the house for a bit. Jonathan came over, and we grabbed something to eat at pasta p, then watched "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" here at my house. It was a good movie. Then we called it a night.

Saturday, August 13, 2005 - Happy 14th Birthday Leanna!
Ran more errands for Leanna's. Picked up chairs, picked up the cake at Coldstone, then set up the house. Then picked up more food. People started arriving around 4, then the fam. Lots of eating, hanging out, talking, etc. Fun night. No drinking though.. haha.. just a margarita. We cleaned the house when everyone left

Sunday, August 14, 2005
We were all tired from the previous night, so we all slept in. Then, we headed to Uncle Charlie's to practice. We ate, practiced, hung out, etc.

Monday, August 15, 2005
I was a bum all day long. I didn't even make my bed! Then, mommy, sissy, and I went shopping! My sis did most of the shopping though since she had her bday money to spend. I miss my boyfriend.

this is funny!

You Are 28 Years Old

28 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Anyway, yesterday, I went to practice with the cousins and the bf. We had dinner, then practiced some more. I was getting frustrated because no one would teach me the dam dance... but then I think Jonathan and I have it down. I also got pissed off because to have more than 1 teacher is annoying. The parents should just stay inside and watch tv or something instead of nag nag nag nag. Back at home, I went online, watched tv, then went to bed. Today, I was a bum! Well, not really. I actually got stuff done, except for cleaning my closet. The bf came over around 4ish, then we just watched poker all day until we had dinner around 9ish, then time for his tournament, got distracted, then ended up losing his tourny. It's ok though =). I'm bored now.. he left about 2 hours ago. Tomorrow is friday!!! I wanna watch a movie! And my baby sister is turning 14 on saturday... dun dun dun. Time to party with the fam again!

friday to wednesday

Friday, August 5, 2005
So it turned out to be another blah day. I was supposed to go out with Jenna, John, and Goodrich, but I still wasn't feeling myself so I didn't want to make everyone else feel blah.

Saturday, August 6, 2005
Mom, sissy, and I went shopping at Macy's, bought a few stuff, then went to the cousins' house to help get ready for Charlie and Charlette's bday party. It was so freakin hot in their house, and there was nothing for me to do, so I watched "Are We There Yet?" and most of "Without A Paddle." People started coming, but then Jenn called me and then Mariel said they were going to pick me up. So Jenn, Mariel, Mehgan, and I headed over to Applebees to meet up with Nicole, Chris, and Mike I. I only had a shake because we were supposed to have dessert at La Fondue, but they didn't have it on Saturdays! Dinner was fun.. lots of girl talk, in the car too! Then they dropped me off and more of my cousins were there, so we hung out. Then some of us went to Darrel's to pick up stuff.. Marcel drove. Back at the party, they cut the cake, then Jeremy came with Charles to pick me up.
We went to Mike's little gettogether, and oh man was it crazy! I took a few shots, got a little tipsy, had some laughs and good times and even some emo moments (haha), but then spent majority of the night taking care of my dear Joanne... haha. Oh Joanne and Fiona - you drunkies!!! After some frustration and trouble, Aboy and I finally took Joanne home. I told Aboy to just go home while I walked her in and talk to her mom. I went into Jonathan's room real quick to tell him I took his sister home safely, to say goodnight, and that his mom was gonna drive me home. He got up, then said he would take me home. I felt bad because it was freakin 330am, and he looked so sleepy =( but so cute at the same time =) haha. Finally, I arrived at home and went to sleep!

Sunday, August 7, 2005
I didn't wake up with any tummy aches or anything, then went to church with my mommy. Then, we headed over to Auntie Nelie's house! It's been so long since we've been there. So some of the cousins and I were playing slap jack inside, then my mom asked me and Marcel if we wanted to take some tequila shots with them.
Who would say no to their mom telling them to take a shot with her? haha.. so Marcel and I had about 4 or 5 shots with my mom, Uncle Charlie, and Uncle Boyet. Then we had practice with some more cousins, and I was so freakin twisted, but I was able to dance still. It was a fun few hours.. and then Uncle Boyet, still drunk off his ass started shouting profanities, one of the funniest: "I'm gonna f*ck some ass tonight!" hahahahah. OH MY GOODNESS, that was the funniest moment in my life! Then, when he started mooning us, but with his underwear on still, and when he jumped and hung onto the basketball rim, and almost knocked the whole thing over..haha. That's something I won't forget. After some dancing, I passed out on the couch for about an hour, did some more dancing, then got dropped off at Jonathan's. We watched him play his poker tournament at pokerroom.com, watched tv, and finally talked. It was progressive, and I am happy once again. Back at home, I think I went online for a bit then went to sleep, finally well-rested.

Monday, August 8, 2005
I was a bum and didn't do anything for most of the day. Then, mom, Leanna, and I headed over to Uncle Charlie's, ate dinner with the rest of the fam, and watched "Miss Teen USA." Finally we went home, then Jonathan called me and I went with him and Jeremy to Oakridge Lanes to meet up with Jeremy's cousins. No socks for me = no bowling. But it's ok, it was just nice being out. Then Jonathan and I grabbed some Jack in the Box, watched some tv, and spent some quality time together until he went home =(.

Tuesday, August 9, 2005
I woke up early hoping people would actually meet on time for once, but when does that ever work out? haha. At around 1130ish - 12, Lisa, Chris, and Jonathan finally arrived, grabbed some food, and were on our way to the beach - Boardwalk Tuesdays! Neiman and Villiard met up with us. It was a little chilly there =( but we still managed to have some fun. Later, James and Christina came. Neiman, Lisa, and I tanned for a bit while the boys played in the water. Then we all walked around the Boardwalk to get some food, play games, and then made our way to where the volleyball nets were. The first game was the girls vs. the boys. The boys won. Then, we split into teams: Jonathan, me, Chris, and Lisa vs. James, Christina, Villiard, and Neiman. First game, we won, second game, they won. Then the boys played their own game: Jonathan and Chris vs. Villiard and James. It was a really close game, but Villiard and James won in the end. Then we all walked back to our spot on the beach, lagged for a little bit, packed our stuff, and Lisa, Neiman, and I went back to Jonathan's car while the boys played some more - it was too cold for us! We were bored, so Lisa planted a fake phone number in Chris' wallet, and we made a plan on how we were gonna get him to see it so she could get mad at him. Yeah we were bored, 30 minutes later, we finally left. Back at my house, I rested, showered, napped, and then Jonathan came back to pick me up and we went to Victor's house for another one of their poker nights. Jonathan got 3rd place. So much happened though during the game. Sam got a flat tire when she was leaving with Margaret, so the boys changed it to the spare. They continuted their game. Then another call from Sam and Margaret, her spare had a flat tire. Some of the boys went back to help while the rest of the boys finished their game. By the end of the night everybody was tired. Jonathan took me home, and we went our separate ways.

Today
So far, I've done nothing but watch tv, play with my cats, and go online. I'll shower in a little bit. There's practice today!

3am post! i have a headache

The last time I posted something this late was probably ages ago. I have a freakin big ass headache though. Perhaps a mini hangover. Last night at Mike's house was interesting, and I woke up a little buzzed. Earlier today, I took about 4 or 5 tequila shots with cousin Marcel, mommy, Uncle Charlie, and Uncle Boyet.. haha.

My fam experieced me drunk!! in the middle of a HOTTT SUMMER DAY. I was sweating like a mofo. Anyway, I'll go into more detail some other time. Despite the crappiness of the weekend, it was a good learning experience at the same time. In some ways, I'm kind of glad this week/weekend happened. I was able to do lots of thinking about myself and for myself. Yeah I've got my flaws, but who doesn't? So to those who really care, everything is better now. I'm feeling a lot better, and more myself.

I promise you sweetie, I won't lose myself again... just as long as you don't lose yourself either. If we start to stray away again and be the people we don't want to be aka jerks, then give me a good slapping and I will do the same for you. Don't literally slap me though. I love you, Jonathan Patalot =)

monday july 25th to today august 5th

Sorry faithful readers, aka Lisa, for another drought. Let's see what I've been up to.

Monday, July 25th
I forgot what I did for the rest of the day. eh

Tuesday, July 26th - Happy 20th Sherilyn!
I forgot what I did during the day.. probably nothing, but I called in sick for work. Then Jonathan picks me up with Joel, and we head over to Vallco. We were still early for Sherilyn's dinner, so we decided to shop around the mall for a while. We saw that Express was having a big sale, so we go in, and we all buy something, even Jonathan! Dinner was fun.. I was able to see the girls from hs again. After a REALLYYYY filling dinner (appetizers, full course meal, AND dessert), Jonathan and I just decided to go home.

Wednesday, July 27th - my last day at Macy's!
I went to work, had lunch with Veronica, then had a stupid ass talk with some stupid ass people. But whatever, at least I'm done with Macy's now! I QUIT AND I'M NEVER COMING BACK!! to work with you that is, to shop is a different story. Um.. then I had practice with the cousins.. Jonathan joined, thanks babe. Then we had dinner.. and I believe that is all? I know we went to Margaret's house for pokwer, I forgot when though.

Thursday, July 28th
I THINK Jonathan and I went to Eastridge for Express? But they weren't having sales anymore =( Um... freakin ay.. I wish I remembered what we did? But I'm almost positive I spent most of the day with him. Was this the day we got ice cream and the cold stone worker sucked at mixing my ice cream?

Friday, July 29th
I forgot what Jonathan and I did during the day, but later that night, we went to San Francisco with his mom and Joanne to check out Joanne's apartment and to see how far it was from SFSU. Cute area. We ate lunch/dinner at Nation's, then headed back to San Jose. Right when we got back, Jonathan and I head over to Sherilyn's bday party. In a nut shell, hella drama, but hella fun. I had SO MUCH FUNNNN with the girls from hs. I almost forgot how much freakin fun we all could have together. Then Jonathan took me home.

Saturday, July 30th
I start getting ready for our trip to Sacramento for Sherilyn's bday.. yep, she had 3 birthday celebrations. We end up lagging a lot and don't leave until about 3pm. We arrived around 5 or 6, eat, then swim. Sher, Neiman, and I stayed in the jacuzzi most of the time, mostly waiting for it to get hot, then later, Jonathan, Villiard, Ellison, James, and Brian join us. Afterwards, we all shower, get ready, then go to dinner at BJ's. Too bad it wasn't happy hour. I had a bad tummy ache, so I attempted to go to sleep (since we all had our own rooms), but I woke up at about 130am and became dealer of the poker game that Jonathan, Sherilyn, Ellison, James, and Brian were playing. At about 4am, Sherilyn and Jonathan just split the pot, and we went to bed.

Sunday, July 31st
I was tossing and turning due to the random coldness or the random heat, but at about 10am, everyone was up. We get ready, clean the house, then head over to the Jackson Rancherio Casino. I ended up losing about $20, but it was Jonathan's money, and he won it all back with the $200 he won. That's my boy! However, before we gambled, we ate at the Buffet, hella good food, but I don't think I ate my $15 worth, I ate about $12.. haha. Sher, Neiman, and I played this "Rich Girls" game, that Neiman and I won at, but eh, then our luck ran out. At around 6 we leave the Casino and head back to San Jose! Jonathan and I then go to my uncle's house, but he only stays for a minute, while I spent some quality time with the cousins. Then my mom, sissy, and I go home, and I relax on my bed. I slept helllllla good!

Monday, August 1st
I was supposed to meet with the HR manager of Macy's, but since they're so stupid and unorganized, my meeting was rescheduled to the next day. So my mother takes a half day of work off, and we pick up my cousins, go shopping at Macy's VALLEY FAIR (stupid OAKRIDGE!), made fun of Nam because Nam is Man backwards.. haha.. drop Leanna off at volleyball (by the way she made the team!!), then go back to Valley Fair and eat and shop some more, went back to ND to watch Leanna, then headed home. Then Jonathan came over, and we watched "Napoleon Dynamite" and then he went home. It's been a while since we've had a "movie night" together.

Tuesday, August 2nd
I wake up early, get ready for the beach, but head over to Macy's for my meeting. I told the HR that I was quitting, and blah blah blah. When I get home, I THOUGHT that Jonathan would be there, but he lagged, like always. Sorry for bitching though. Finally, Jonathan arrives with Jeremy and Lisa and we head over to the Boardwalk. For the whole time, I laid out with Lisa and Neiman, went to the stores, then laid out some more. I didn't even touch the water! Oh well. Afterwards, I went home, Jonathan went to work, then went to my Uncle's house, then 3 out of the 4 cousins slept over. I was going to accompany my love to play poker, but I was kinda lazy.. so I stayed in.

Wednesday, August 3rd
Blah day. Waited for Jonathan for most of the day, headed over to my Uncle's house for practice, but I didn't practice because I didn't have a partner. Then we ate dinner, and then home. But I did hear from my recruiter at BofA, so HOPEFULLY I get an interview soon!

Thursday, August 4th - Happy 13th Charlie & Charlette!
Another blah day, but at least I wasn't stuck at home. I went over to Lisa's, we go to VF and get cardigans at Abercrombie =), eat Cinnabon, go to her eyedoctor, then back to her house. Therese finally arrives, and we head over to Ikea, we buy some stuff, stop by TJ Maxx, then back to Lisa's, and I go home. Right when I get home, my mom, sister, and I meet up with my cousins and aunt and uncle at Sizzlers for Charlie and Charlette's bday dinner. I ate so much. Then it was home.

Friday, August 5th
I went to Lisa's house, almost ate lunch at Pasta P, but changed our minds, went to get Lisa's eyebrows waxed, stayed at her house for a bit, then I left to bring Leanna to volleyball. Back at home, I was bored AGAIN, so I head over to Lisa's again, after stopping by some places. When Therese arrived, I went home, watched some CSI, and now I'm waiting for Jonathan.. it's been 3 hours.. eh. I hope all turns out for the better.

a great big F YOU to Macy's Oakridge and to you lip liner wearer with no lipstick - drawn in eyebrows - streaked blonde hair with dark dark roots - big ass silver hoop earring wearer - fat fat FAT ass girl!!!!!!

I'll have a real update soon. Just blowing some steam.

monday - part of today

I remember when I used to be on this thing all the time and I would have to stop myself from overposting in one day, but now, I think I don't post enough. I wish I did because I forget what I do.. and I love keeping track of it and looking back and re-reading old posts. So anyway, let's see what I remember.

Monday, July 18, 2005 - I stayed home most of the day, watched my TLC and soaps, then Jonathan came over with lunch! I've been eating pasta like 3 times a week.. but oh well, it's cheap! We watched some special on Charlie and the Chocolate factory on MTV or VH1.. I think it was VH1. Then I went to work. Jonathan took me I think? Afterwards, I went home, Jonathan played with the cats for a bit, then went home.

Tuesday, July 19, 2005 - I worked in the morning and left around 3? Jonathan was being a dickhead, so I decided to take my sister and cousins out to get my mind of things. I took them to Cinema Savers since it was only $1.50. I remember when it was just $1.00! We watched "Sin CIty", which was pretty gory. I thought it was gonna be really good because I remember when it was hyped up a lot, but it really wasn't all that great. Then we went back to my house for a while. Amber and I decided to go to Macy's to get dresses for the Pisbakal Banquet in August.. and we found cute ones and I bought them all. Back at my house, my mother was home, and we all had dinner like a big happy family.

Wednesday, July 20, 2005 - HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY MARIEL! - Jonathan was still being a dickhead, so I went out with my sister and we picked up my cousins and headed to Macy's again, but this time at Eastridge to find more dresses. We found some, put them on hold, dropped them off, bought pizza, and stayed home. I forgot what I did for the rest of the night.

Thursday, July 21, 2005 - I was freakin bored, and Jonathan was still being a dickhead, so I decided to just go to his house and give him a good beating. Just kidding. So we watched TV, ran an errand but didn't finish, then grabbed Pasta Pomodoro to go and ate at his house. After, I went home, got ready for work, and worked.

Friday, July 22, 2005 - HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY COUSIN GENE! - I dropped my sister off at ND for vball, then went home, got ready, and went with Jonathan to run errands. Then he tells me that we were going to Jackson Rancherio Casino, so I stress out looking for someone to cover my shift at work, but I did, so no more stress. We continued running errands: pp, Jonathan's to get a water sample from his neon green pool, Leslie's pool supply to test the water, Pet store to buy Jungle & Blizzard new bigger bowls, Costco for gas and for cat food, back to Leslie's pool supply to buy cleaning stuff, back to Jonathan's I think to get his stuff for the night, and back to my house where we chilled for a little bit. Then we got ready, headed to Jay's, and were on our way. In the car were Jay, Bung, Daysha, Des, Donald, Carlo, Jonathan, and myself. On the way, we stopped by Stockton to pick up Bung's mom and sister. It was hella traffic too!! Then they fed us hella freakin good ass spaghetti! I ate so much and I had food coma on the way to Jackson. When we arrived around 1am, they wouldn't let Daysha in even though she was sleeping, so Jay stayed with her in the car. Then us newbies signed up for that casino card, and received $5 for signing up. Jonathan and I walked around, and we found the "poker room" which was just a designated area upstairs from the casino. It was a 30 minute wait. So I took the rest of his money he wasn't going to gamble and went downstairs and found Des. We played on slot machines, and after a good 30 minutes, we both won money! I didn't even gamble my own money either since the casino gave us $5 each. Jonathan gave me his $5, and I used $6 of his.. so I only gambled $16. We didn't win hella money or anything, but we were definitely up, so we got those iced mocha drinks and went back to the car with Daysha. Bung and Violi were there, so we told them to go ahead and keep gambling. Jay came back to the car, then Des and I left again to go to the gift shop and find everyone and let them know to go to the car when they were done.. since service sucked over there. I checked up on Jonathan twice, and the second time, he was done and was ready to cash out. My baby won too! So we cashed out all his chips, and eventually headed to the car, and left around 5am.

Saturday, July 23, 2005 - HAPPY MOVING OUT DAY MICHAEL DAUZ! - We arrived at Jay's around 7, and Jonathan and I slept in Daysha's room until she woke us up at 9am. Jonathan and I left, and back at my house, I slept until about 1030 and got ready for work. It was the easiest working day of my life, but I still turned in my resignation form. Yes people, I am quitting Macy's. Retail is killing me.. I hate it, and there were so many days I'd come home crying because of a stupid customer or a stupid co-worker. Anyway, I got to work at 12, on the register until about 1230, then we were all supposed to go upstairs because our manager Stephanie was throwing a pizza party for us for her last day =(. We stood around and talked until 130 when men's brought down their associates to cover our department while we said our goodbyes to our manager. We had pizza, ice cream cake, talked, cried, and said our goodbyes. At 3, we went down, and I was on the register for 30 minutes and it was time for me to go home! It was freakin hotttttttt when I went outside, and when I got home, I started crying because of the weather. It wasn't that hot in my house, but the outside weather got me hot-headed, so Jonathan picked me up around 5, went to his house for a while, drove through Santana Row, then went to VF until closing. We were wallet-hunting. Then we got Pasta Pomodoro to go again, went to my Auntie Esther's house and ate there some more. Around 10, we left to go to Emilio's party and within minutes, the house filled up with all these asians and hella guys. It was definitely a cock fest. The best part of the night though was seeing A LOT of ND girls from class of 03. It was a mix of us too. At around midnight, Jonathan and I were getting tired due to the lack of sleep from the night before, and headed home. It was too hot and too crowded to find all my friends and say goodbye, so hopefully they understand. Then Jonathan went home and I went to bedddd.

Sunday, July 24, 2005 - I woke up early, worked from 945-245, then went home and slept until my mom and sister picked me up. We went to Starbuck's then to practice with the cousins. We practiced from 4 to 8 and we were all sweating like crazy. But I think we perfected the cha-cha.. we must now perfect boogie/swing. It's confusing for all of us for some reason. We had dinner, talked, then everyone went home. We stopped by my Auntie Venie's for a bit to visit my grandma there, then went home. Leanna, my mother, and I had one of our talks.. not bad talks.. but when we just talk about everything: school, life, work, future goals, etc. We were done around 1230am, and I called Jonathan, but he was sleeping already =(. Another day without seeing him, but oh well.

Today - So far, I've just talked to Jonathan this morning and he told me about his day yesterday. That punk ass didn't even bother calling me at all yesterday as he went out and had dinner with his friends! Oh well, I was busy anyway, but a call at least would've been nice! But it's ok because today, we're going to run more errands and maybe we can go out.

This week, I'm looking forward to Sherilyn's birthday and party and weekend at her place in Sacramento. There's also the Grand Prix downtown this weekend.. maybe Jonathan and I can check it out.

8 months from today, I will be 21. Hopefully I'll still have someone to have fun with.

Wow it's been a while since my last post. I guess I've been lazy. But I've been having a lot of fun.. and I've been busy too. Cotillions, work, fam time, Jonathan time, etc. Tuesday I went to the beach, shopped at Urban, and hung out with friends. I also skipped work.. haha. Wednesday, my honey bunny worked.. and I forgot what I did. Oh wait, we ran errands.. or more like, shopping errands for me - going to Urban Outfitters and Macy's. Thursday, I had work in the morning, then more time with my honey. The week was great because he wasn't busy with cotillion practices anymore. Friday, Jonathan had work, so I shopped with Lisa and Chris most of the day. We met up with Eileen at Valley Fair, and did some more shopping. Then we met up with Jonathan, picked up my sis, and the five of us ate at La Victoria. I'm kinda glad that the weather has been better, because it finally feels like summer. Later that night, we went to Sanna's little family party, then headed to Casey's and hung out. Saturday, Jonathan had work. Wow, things sounds like normal again, with him always working... anyway, I went to BofA to turn in my app, but scored an interview with the manager and pretty much got a job offer, but I'm waiting for the Main office to office me a job first. Then I went to the beach with my mommy, sissy, and Chanel.. it was fun. Later that night, Jonathan and I went to Andrew's house where he played poker for a while. We were supposed to watch Charlie and the Chocolate factory, but it was sold out at IMAX, which brings me today. I woke up early, went to church with my mom and sis, went to practice at the cousins' house... fun times dancing with my cousins for the family thing in august... then out with Jonathan to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on IMAX. GREAT MOVIE!

Ok that's all for now.
