Before I went to sleep last night, I couldn't help but think of Aiyah. I remembered our little antics in high school. I remembered how she made that experience more bearable. I remembered our notebook we passed back and forth to each other. I remembered how weird it was when we were angry with each other. I remembered Concert Choir. I remembered the snow globe. I remembered Geometry class and being the "Animaniacs." I remembered...her.

I know this is kind of random but isn't this a place for me to place my thoughts?

If you're reading this...I really miss you and hope that you are doing well.

It's funny how the finer things in life manage to make me realize that life isn't so bad. I was telling a friend of mine earlier, "I'm pretty fortunate to have a problem like this...some people aren't so well off." (refer to the problem in the post below). I got to hang out with the SDYMers a little bit today. I was supposed to go to church but I fell asleep and woke up about 90 minutes ago.

The clouds are gone and sun isn't being so harsh. Life isn't so bad...heh.

Oh, thank you Ate Daph for your kind words. I dunno how I'll get those pics to you but I'll find a way. I haven't cleared my memory card for my camera. =)

My car window is messed up. The only reason that I can think of is that some fucker tried slim jim their way into my car last night. What makes it even worse is that it's raining tonight and I wasn't able to close the window all the way. UGH! I hope that this doesn't cost much to fix. I swear, there's some dumbass who's on this street messing with the residents' cars. That totally ruined my postive vibes.

On the up side, I got to see some people whom I haven't seen since my trip to Toronto I didn't really get to really have fun with them since work was looming over my head. I was only able to sit with them for 30 minutes but I didn't really feel the vibes with them. It wasn't long enough to marinate with the group.

meh...I had a pretty mediocre night. Tips were good though, but I'm still pretty irked.

Work was unusually slow last night, but the tips were really good. Usually, at about 9:30 I'm most likely running my ass all around trying to get to all of my tables. Not this time. I had NO tables at 9:30 last night. All my tables were clean and unoccupied. How sad...

Anyway, I'm tired of getting those cheap sunglasses from those little kiosks in the mall. I've gone through so many of those, Besides, I've always wanted to get myself a pair of expensive glasses.

Gah...I have so much school crap to catch up on. Heh, I shouldn't be surprised, I had my fun last weekend so I guess Mark's world had to balance out somehow.

I decided to change the commenting system since YACCS was being stupid.

I'm so sore from tennis yesterday...

I also found out that the vinyl single of Like I Love You is out. Not the cd-single...that's still on October 14th.

...boo.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE! KUYA LOVES YOU!

Okay, so I've been home for a little while now. I just needed some time to settle into my life. I had a great time up North and seriously want to trip up there. I was telling them that the only reason why I go up there is because there's some sort of event going on. Just once, I'd like to go up there for a long time and just have fun; just being there for the sake of being there. There were a few snafus here and there but then again the whole trip can't be perfect, can it? I needed that trip. I didn't want to go home at all. =\

I also got to meet some other bloggers while I was there. Besides my oh-so-cool cousin, Jay, I met Nate, Firl, Mike, and Maria. It was weird meeting them since we all blog...haha. In any case, it was fun just hanging out and getting to meet them.



Maybe I should get back to my homework...

I just found out that this DVD

will be coming out 12/3/02!

I thought that I'd use this extra time to catch myself up on a few things...

I've been a BAAAAD boy...hahaha. I wanted my birtday buzz to last a little longer so I ditched half of my day at school. hee hee. I've been doing pretty well so far but I'm sure that this is going to slow my progress.

Speaking of my birthday, this year was totally up there. I got to see the Lion King musical with Selle and let me tell you, if you haven't seen it yet, you haven't seen broadway at its best. The first five minutes got my jaw on the floor. Despite a loud, annoying little girl asking loud, annoying little questions to her parents; the show was totally worth its weight in gold. After the show Selle and I went to Hollywood and Vine Diner. We managed to convince the server that it was our birthdays and we each got something nice. =) Needless to say, I tipped him well even though the order was a little messed up. Selle and I stopped by to visit some friends on the way home. Victor treated me out to a slurpee in the wee hours of the morning as we stopped by Martin's house to "talk and dance about bendy" (haha don't ask).

In other news...
It looks like my old friend Daniel is going to be working with us. It's also about time that I got to hang out with Glenn...even though he has a "tendancy to kill things." (again...don't ask) Next time we should PLAN something but just being bored together is alright. haha.

I'd blog a little but give me a little time. heh as if I really need anyone's validation to write anything. In any case when I have the time I'll blog...

HAPPY BIRFDAY TO ME!

I think that speaks for itself.

For a long time, I've been looking for this particular shirt with the number 82 on it. I've seen these types of shirts in vintage stores and in Melrose but I'VE FOUND EVERY OTHER FREAKING YEAR BESIDES 82! It bugs me. I mean, I would have purchased this shirt but the seller doesn't have my size. Will I ever find that shirt and in my size? *sigh* one can only hope.

Oh and Kris...thanks for IM-ing me...I felt pretty lonely most the day. I know it's not much but it kinda eased the day a little.

I feel like something is wrong in my world. My intuition is nagging me. I know that it has nothing to do with the fact that today is the 11th but I feel like that something totally off center. I was lacking something today. I was thinking that it might be attention. I felt ignored by a lot of people but then again I really talked to a lot of people today too. I just feel out of it. ERGH! I hate this feeling.

I know that I haven't really been blogging much lately. I guess I've been actually doing things for school for a chnage. Since I'm on the topic, school has been good to me so far. Other than that, there' s not really much to mention.

In other news, I've been bombarded with requests from friends and coworkers to join them at Millenium Dance Complex. For those who don't know, this studio is meant for the elite. This is the dance studio where today's stars practice and train at. Who? Just a few small names I guess...*Nsync, Britney Spears, Destiny's Child, Janet Jackson... I'd love to go but do I have what it takes to keep up? I hope so...

Leave a comment...make me feel wanted and needed today.

Ahh, the rain is a welcome change from that crappy heat. It's still warm but the light rain and steady breeze makes the outdoors a smidge more pleasant. I'm actually waiting for Charlene to call so I can see her...hopefully. She's here for a FASA meeting and she thought that she'd come a little early to try to see me.

Geez, the whole world is making such a fuss about American Idol. My RS 150 professor went on and on about it in the middle of her freaking lecture. I'm not hating on the talent but I wasn't really into the show. I mean I'd go to Kelly's concerts and buy her CD's. I've gotta hand it to her...She's damn talented. But if you ask me...the show is SO over rated...and NO I'm not going to apologize to you for saying that. hahaha. You know I lub you...haha

Anyway, school wasn't really worth talking about so I guess I'll surf around some more.

...wow i blogged a lot today.

Here's a video of the 2002 Saint Dominic's Confirmation Leadership Retreat. (thanks Randy!)

Hey, we work hard so we play hard! Needless to say this last retreat wasn't all play. heh. Try to see how many times you see me in the clip! hahaha

I think this next group is ready to change some lives...

**if you don't have high speed internet you will not be able to view the video well...also feel free to see the other SDYM adventures.

Awww geez...Gail left for the Philippines. I miss her already.

Wow, I just got off the phone with a good old friend. It's weird how one phone call can really remind you that there are a lot of people out there that think about you. I hope I see her tomorrow. Hey Gail & Kris, wasn't I right when I said that you make really good friends at Saint D's?

Char, it's been way too long. I look forward to seeing you!

Should I delete my comments? Are they even useful?

Okay, so the air conditioning broke down at work yesterday. It was way too hot considering the fact that the restaurant was full of labor day observers. It was one long...seering shift.

Anyway, last night Selle, Martin, Vic, and I went out to celebrate Selle's birthday. We took her out to BJ's but our server was a little off the mark. We weren't angered by it. In fact it was really nice of her to give us 2 free pizookies instead of one and comped our appetizers. We still left her a fatty tip. After stuffing our faces we went to Caltech and played some late night tennis...well...some of us attempted to. haha I had a lot of fun with those guys. It's kind of scary how much Simpsons trivia we know between the 4 of us. Happy 8+11 birthday, Selle!

I'll change the currents and my window of destiny later...

I will never step foot into Villa Sombrero again. I walk in and I thought that it would be a great place to eat. So we sat down and the waiter asked us what we wanted to drink. The waiter then asked if I had a shirt. I was wearing a blue tank since it was about 100 degrees at the time. The tank didn't even look like an undershirt. "No." I promptly responded. He gave us a nervous chuckle and asked us if we wanted to eat out on their patio. "NO. It's way too hot out." He left and didn't come back for about 5 minutes and said, "I'm sorry. We can't find a shirt for you." I'm like WTF? Does this guy really expect me to wear their stupid ass shirt just to eat at this shitty restaurant? I rolled my eyes and we left.

I was pissed. I mean, come on...This place wasn't even a swanky place to begin with. I also didn't see a sign concerning attire. FUCK THAT PLACE. I'm not going there again. It's stupid... There are no other places that would consider what I was wearing unworthy of service. What's even worse is that they really thought that I was willing to wear one of their shirts over. They aren't worth the trouble. Fuck them. Was it racial? Could've been, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't.

That's the first time that happened to me. Ludacris I tell you....just ludacris.

Shit...I totally forgot about going to Selle's house. I could have done that instead. Damn, I'm such an idiot.

Obviously, I don't feel much better after remembering that.

Great...I was actually done with work BEFORE 10 tonight. I thought that I was actually going to get to go out and actually have a life. I hate it when people lag. I was totally ready to out and have even a little bit of fun.

Why so pissy about it Mark? There'll be other Saturday nights...

Acutally, I seldom get a chance to be able to have some fun on a Saturday night. I never get out early enough to get to go out. I don't even have time during the rest of the week since I have so many obligations to take care of. Hey, I'm not angry with the people that were involved. (Got that, Glenn? I'm not mad at you...so don't be so sorry. What could we do?) I'm just upset with the situation. I mean it's okay when people lag...It's not like I wasn't doing it myself. It just sucks that I let the opportunity pass by.

It still bugs me that I don't know who to take with me...I mean, it's like Lion King Survivor. Selle, I think I'm going to ask you next. *sigh*

WHAT'S WITH ALL THE NEGATIVE KARMA?! ugh...
