Another great thanksgiving...

I finally got to see and hang out with my cousins for once. Nothing out of the ordinary happened but it was fun ditching everyone with my cousin Kim to get some boba. We went to Upper House in Cerritos. hee hee. I have so many things that I am thankful for. As much as I want to share it with you, I have school work to take care. Sucky huh? =(

I was just farting around on the net and remembered that Eo told me to see some music videos...

Hmmm...look who I found...


Here's a shot from the new 702 "star" video. Whoo hoo! Go Eo...
is this even legal?

I got the Krusty watch...WHOO HOO! One down and three to go.

Man... people really commented quickly about them watches...

I WANT THOSE SIMPSONS WATCHES FROM BURGER KING!

I don't know why but I started to wrap some gifts. I really love to wrap gifts...I consider it a kind of art. I know I'm waaaay ahead of schedule but I really wanted to try some ideas and see what I can do. Damn...I need more of that cross-dye ribbon...

Martha Stewart eat your home-making heart out.

Well it's exactly a month till Christmas so there's a list for those who think I'm picky.

I went to do some more Christmas shopping again. I didn't realize how much of it was actually done until I got home earlier tonight. I have wrapping paper all set. I went to Wal-Mart for some cheap high quality ribbons too. I forgot that it was sunday and that place was a MADHOUSE. I'm going to take a break from Christmas shopping and I'll save up for the next wave. Hmmm. I think I'll leave my progress on my website with my "wish list."

I'm feeling espeically mushy this year...as opposed to the past years. I'm so raring to get my shopping done so quickly. I keep telling myself that money is not really too much of an issue this year. I'm just loving the Christmas decor everywhere and the music being played all around. I don't know what it is this year, but I'm thinking that this year will be a good one...a different one. I want it to be a different one. (I know I said that already...)

Hey Erwin...if you're reading this...take care. It was nice finally getting to talk to you.

I finally got a cool Saturday night...haha.

After work I decided to join Selle at Union. I haven't seen her since September and I really missed her. I forgot how fun it was when we're together. We had SO much fun clubbing the night away.

HAHAHA.

Guess what I just did?

I don't have anything to lose and there won't be any judges insulting me in a foreign accent. It's not like I'm going to make it.

WHOA... a Tommy's commercial was on! I've never seen one before. Mmmm...that actually sounds good right now.

It's funny, I think the holiday bug bit me in the ass already. I'm unofficially 1/3 done with my Christmas shopping. I'll admit I've also been getting things for myself. heh. But still, at least I'm on turbo drive since I'm a little late.

The media kinda smacked me into the whole secular "vision" of Christmas.

I feel that this one will be a good one...a different one.

I started my Christmas shopping yesterday. To most people, I'm REALLY early, but to my standards, I'm REALLY late. I have at least 30 people and hopefully after this day is over, I'll be at least 33% done with the shopping. It's funny how I have this reputation at work for giving good presents (not always expensive ones...) but good nonetheless. I wonder where that came from. I've only had 2 Christmases with that group. Hmmm...well I guess this year looks like money isn't too big of an issue this year as it was last year.

Confirmation was real good last night. I was very happy with the input I got from the group. I don't really expect much from anyone at this point...I mean, we've only started. I can see a lot of potential in this group this time around. I just hope I can help them utlize their oh-so-expanding potential. I think it's safe to say these students are settling in little by little. It'll get there. It's always weird at the beginning of the year.

Crap, I really ought to get to class. I have five minutes before class starts and the door is about 10 feet away...

I think I'll go Christmas shopping some more on the way home.BTW, for those who were thinking of getting me the Lilo and Stitch DVD. I beat you to it.

His life was like vomit. He poured his life out and it merely spilled all over the floor and no one wanted to mop it up.

Eyes are more than a window to your soul; it gives a reflection of your life. I think your eyes need windex. I don't see my self anywhere.

Wow. I saw Wade Robson tonight. Sorry Glenn. ha.

I cut off all of my hair! It's all gone. I wasn't sure what to do with it. So I rationalized...I figured that if I don't have hair, then I won't have to worry about what to do with it.

FREEDOM! *sigh* I was up all night and this morning trying to get all of my work done. Whoo hoo! I managed to finish a book, work with 2 different presentations and get an extra credit assignment done. I had to skip all of my other classes just to get it done. Procrastination? Damn, skippy! Ha...I guess we work well under pressure, huh? hahaha...

Janet called me this morning to remind me that she loves me. There was something good in her day that reminded her that you have to tell the people that matters the most that you do love them. I love you too! You are one of the few genuine friends that I have.

So I talked to Jason about a particular subject yesterday at lunch. Far be in from me to discuss what our conversation was about but I can tell you this much: It made me one happy homer. Thanks for clearing the air Jason. Puppies rock. =)

Crap... I need a new guestbook.

I can't ever catch a break when it comes to Saturday nights. Once again, the higher powers decided that I should go home. I finally got the chance to go to Union tonight. I was so excited to see some friends that were supposed to join me. But of course...a snafu occured and I went home.

Here's what went down:

I called my friends so they can meet me at the venue. I called multiple times making sure they were okay. I'm assuming they didn't have any signal. I was stuck in DTLA for over an hour. That was probably the longest and scariest hours of my life. I've never felt so vulnerable. Everytime someone would pass by I'd hold my breath and mutter a little prayer. Thankfully, Gail, Paul, and Jay came to my rescue.

I'm so grateful that I have good friends that are here for me when I need someone the most.

Hmmm...Janet just called me. It looks like we're going to have some late night dinner.

Hmmm... lucky day today.

I got to hear from some old friends today. Millenium was espeically fun today. I don't really have anything in particular to talk about. One thing is for sure...


I really like it when I have visitors.
Me, Nelly, Ned, Glenn

hahahahahaha look at the binoculars!

I just finished another midterm for my AAS 350 class. I promised Samantha that I'd study but for some reason, I fell asleep while attempting to do so. I know I should have studied...

The funny thing is that we get out tests back the same day. Before she called my name, I worried about my future in this class. Get this...I got my results and ended up doing better on this midterm than the last one. I stressed myself out studying for the first midterm, but totally coasted on this one. I have NO idea how that happened. I even did better than the people who actually did study.

This semester, there's a corellation of me not studying and passing my classes. Maybe I should NOT study more often...

Well, that's one thing down...3 more to go. Back to class I go...

I always get excited when this happens. It only lasts for a minute but...i dunno. I'm such a doofus.

*and a thank you to Alan for leaving me a comment...sometimes it's the only thing that makes me feel special. hahaha*

I have added 2 more screen names to my buddy list. HA...just when I thought it was safe to clean it up.

Maybe it's just me. I really miss Kris. I haven't really had the chance to talk to him lately. It feels like I'm drifting but I know that we're so busy...school's a BITCH! =(

It's not only him either. I miss so many people. Selle, Aiyah, and Marian are among many. I haven't seen so many people in such a long time. I really need to feel some connection with them; espeically now that school is really bogging me down. I think about so many people in one day. I wonder if they think of me too.

<remember that old simpsons episode?>

AJ, It's your Birthday! Happy Birthday, AJ!

</remember that old simpsons episode?>

Yikes! I deleted over 40 screen names on my buddy list. It's about time I sifted through that people I'd talk to or who would talk to me. I now have a modest 67 screen names now.

I don't usually initiate a conversation via AIM. The cell phone is another story...

off to snack and crash...

Finally, the routine was easy enough for me to grasp. Tonight was fun for once. We did a routine to one of the songs on Justified - Take Me Now. We did a rountine to the first part of its remix. Nelly and I got a pretty good grip on the choreography tonight. I'm feeling real good, but I shouldn't really get too comfortable just yet. I have plenty of projects to finish this week. I have 2 presentations, a paper, and another exam. Doesn't school put a damper on the good stuff? Aye...

Another jam-packed weekend...

1) Ate Daph and Matt came over
2) work...
3) Ministry Fair

I got to spend some time with two girls that I really needed to spend some time with. It made the entire weekend worthwhile. Love you Ate Daph... Love you Gail =)

Work really bugged me out, but things evened out. It's a shame that big tips at work aren't really extra credit, but making up for the shitty tips that came before it.

School here I come...blah.

hey..is there one of him...or two?..oh man..now i'm confused!...i can't tell which is which..but i'm pretty sure this is mark!

hahaha thanks for the link LEENIE =)

Well, Matt and Ate just left. Blah. I wish they stayed longer.

Work wasn't really all that fruitful last night. I was surrounded by bad tipping morons. I'd like to get into detail but the weather is making me lazy. I wasn't really in a good mood when I got home last night. I felt pretty segragated from the rest of my friends at work. Obviously, it wasn't their intention to ignore me but...whatever. They didn't really help my mood and maybe I'm just thinking too much. meh...

I have work in about 4 hours...I'm in no mood to go back.

I'm so happy once again. Guess who's next to me?! Ate Daph!!! Well, I skipped Millenium tonight. The routine was the same so I figured that we'd save that class for another night...

More later...there's more important business to take care of. =)

Well lookie here....one of my new students has a blog. The links just keep on commin.

Last night was particularly good...confirmation-wise. My group opened up a little more and my co-leaders are doing a pretty good job. Hmmm, they should be a little more vocal with the group. I've tried dropping opportunites to do so but I guess it's going to take a little time. We still have plenty of time to grow. I was particularly surprised with a couple of my students. I figured out that if these people are not located in the same vicinity then I get more of a response from this person. Obviously there's some sort of "coolness/popularity" issue. As for the group, I've never had a quiet group before...but then again it's only the first few classes. The group is well-behaved nontheless, but I think there's A LOT of potential in this group.

You gotta love what you do...

Well I got out of my class a little early...quizzes tend to do that.

blah...my stomach is being dumb again.

Guess who's commin to town?!

School, nap, Millenium...that's it.

In other news, my sister turned 11 last sunday. Now that she's growing up, I really feel closer to her. I love her so much. I'm hoping the older she gets, the closer we become. heh. Maybe I should really stop considering her a little girl now. It's pretty cool to have someone remind you how fun being a kid is.

Bought Justified today...not really excited. I cheated and got a burned copy before it was released. =)

Blogger is pissing me off! I can't change my gawdamn template...I need to link you.

Stupid Blogger...

I blew out my knee again last night. (x_x)

Yes, Abby...I do remember you.

Ugh...can't sleep...

Work sucked. That's all. Need I say more? I didn't think so.

I really needed that night out. Going to Knott's last night really made up for my craptacular halloween. This year was one of the better ones. We actually got to all but one maze since we got there fairly early AND went after Halloween.

Crap...I have work tonight. *sigh*
