this weekend went by so quickly! vegging out yesterday and then going to the la convenetion center today to support my cuzn at the car show...it was pretty cool it went by fast..i was just walking around looking at what free stuff the vendors were giving away...i was able to get alot..but just adds to more clutter in my room tho..oh well...hopefully this week goes by smoothly...lots of stuff due this week and midterms and stuff....and then presentations too! cant wait til its all over...ok gota go sleep now gota wake my butt up early to drive to school......o^:^o

wheww! this week went by so fast...len came down with the wilson's on monday...it was cool cuz part of his family met my my family ...its really cool that it feels like our worlds were meshing together, which is hard since we live so far apart....and then i dragged len around with me while i did my errands and attended my labs...and other than that..i ditched all my other classes! hehe time to catch up now...but it was cool cuz we were able to go to medieval times for our anniversary and im glad i was able to take len there for the first time...and then we pretty much just chilled the rest of the week and went out with monica and kuya av and yesterday we went out with the wilson's to hollywood, bruddah's and santa monica pier...it was a nice day to go out, but there was traffic everywhere.....i wish i was a better tour guide, but come to think of it i dont know many places to sightsee cuz i dont sightsee down here since im from here...hehe i should explore more places so i can be more informative to future guests huh??....bruddah's is a place in gardena that was a quaint hawaiian restaurant...it had lots of the hawaiian food that i remembered from hawaii like lau lau, shoyu chicken and lots of filipino dishes too.....and it also had the regualr loco moco and stuff..but it was good to have both kinds of hawaiian food to chose from. then we went to santa monica pier and len hadnt been there since his grad nite i think....and he won me those lil sad dogs holding a flower...ive always wanted one of those dogs and he won me one from that water race game....=) he tried to win me one from the ladder game but it was so hard to do that one..but im sure he would get it if he was able to practice more......im glad they stayed an extra day...cuz they were supposed to leave yesterday morning but spontaneously stayed for one more day yay!!!....but they left this morning and made it home by like 3pm....i had the day to myself pretty much since i had to be here while people were fixing our bathroom...then i went to church and now here i am...just vegging......and i just found out my cuzn had her baby already! im so excited!!....shes soo cute!...hope we can go down to visit them soon.....

gosh its monday again...but its a happy monday cuz len's here now! yay! but hes sleeping cuz he left wit his sister and her family at like three this morning...so he must be so tired esp cuz he was trying to get some sleep before the drive but he couldnt....so hopefully now i can take some time to finish my paper...yucky....i hate writing papers at least its not too long tho...this weekend was cool..got to spend some quality time with my family....uncle marlon came on friday and he installed some new speakers at our house and its sounds really good and we sang karaoke til late...then on saturday went to chinatown to eat and do some shopping..uncle marlon has never been to tatak pilipino so we took him there and we were in there for a hella long time...hehe and then i actually went with them to island pacific..and we stayed there long too ...i usually dont go with my parents there cuz i know theyre going to take long there....we saw auntie baby and uncle turing there too and we ate halo halo...heheeh its one of those places where u always see a relative or family friend every time u go there....we all came to my house and talk about possible decorating ideas to match the renovations..then kuya av and monica came and then kim came..it was cool! and then i went to simi valley with kim and we watched one hour photo with joe and uncle marlon...very disturbing movie but it didnt end as bad as i thought..it was kind of resolved...so i slept really late on fri and sat nite and then we went to easter sunday mass at 7:30am!...i thoguht it would be cool cuz prolly it wont be that crowded...but there was hella people there and it was funny cuz len went to his 1:30 pm mass and he said no one was there...gues everyone thought later masses would be crowded and then every one went early....then we went to the cemetary to visit lolo, went to eat and went to simi to visit lola pining....then i spent the afternoon helping prepare for the bbq later....hehe im a master at cutting veggies and fruit now ..lol...this weekend was cool cuz i got to see alot of family i havent seen in a while.....i misss family gatherings like that...=)..ok i should do my paper now....

its Good Friday today and i just came from church...stations of the cross at twelve and then a liturgy at 1:30....then on my way to the pharmacy i saw a guy standing in front of vons dressed in a cloth and crown with red stains on his back, struggling trying to carry a really heavy cross..when i got out of savon he wasnt there anymore..i was like..i didnt know people do that here in the states...and then it reminded me to 3 years ago when i saw a lot of people doing that in the philippines...holy week in the philippines was quite an experience...im glad i got to go there and see that...and now i want to experience how philippines is during christmas...im sure its sooo happy and festive there......as for chirstmas here...theres so little of us here now and gatherings get smaller and smaller....not as big as when i was young...carrying our trash bags full of presents...hehehe ahhh memories!....u know wats weird i dont remember what ive done the last two easters....oh well.....im excited for this week...cuz len and his family are coming down for the week...and our anniversary is on thursday so im glad we get to spend it together...hopefully we get to go to medieval times,esp cuz he hasnt been there yet...but then i have a lot of homework to do so i wont have to worry about it next week=).. uncle marlon is coming today from vegas...his flight only cost $55! thats such a good price!.....its always fun when hes here...we're probably going to karaoke til late tonite....

just had some popeye's shimp and mashed potato...yummy...hehehe....i cant wait til len gets here.....i wonder what we're going to do for our anniversary...i cant believe its already been 2 years..its gone by so fast, yet it feels like we've been together longer than two years...welps didnt get to buy some ribbon maybe i will next week so i have something to do instead of thinking of useless drama going on right now...gosh i dont know if im just making a big deal of something really small or if its meant to be taken as a big deal...i hate that..and i mean when dealing with someone who's an elder. i feel like i cant question it cuz i dont want to argue with them or i just dont want to hear what they have to say..in any case..i feel like crap...and im just hoping that its really a big deal and theres no tension....gosh wata way to start to a weekend huh??....

its such a lazy day today mainly because of the stressful week and this weather right now just makes u want to just stay in bed all day. but i did my chore for the day of going to the gym so i feel accomplished now=)...i want to go out and buy ribbon today so i can get an early start of making graduation leis for len and all my cousins this semester..its going to be fun, especially trying to make some diff kinds for the first time...ehhe it took me forever to learn the braid one but i got it down now...anyways ive just been online searching out this drink website of all these drinks and what their ingredients are, i wanna try out all these diff drinks now next time i go to the bar...hopefully this weekend is relaxing i have so much stuff im stressing about right now..school, drama, driving, money, tickets....i hate the beginning of this year..when is it going to start getting better for me?? its my year man! the year of the goat...!!!..well i guesss its a good year since i have my safety and the safety of all my loved ones...had some pretty close calls with my car already this yr and its only april!!!...hehee ok ill stop complaining now...
