Wasted
Late this morning my tasks were disturbed by a horrifying sound. A rolling BOOM waved through the computer room. It sounded like a devestating car crash. It was. Fortunately no one was hurt. Arnell and I ran around the corner and saw that it all happened in front of my friend, Jan's house. There were 4 damaged cars. One was rammed into a brick wall on the sidewalk, while the truck that caused all of the damaged was totaled. Frankly, I was surprised that the driver was still alive. He was clearly incoherent and couldn't speak straight. He was so indifferent about everything too.
The driver was an 18 year old male. He was drunk and sideswiped 2 parked cars before ramming another parked car so hard it slammed into a residential brick wall. We could only imagine if someone was on the sidewalk or in any of the cars. The damage was REALLY bad.
Though, the funniest moments came in the form of a ticket for an idiot almost running people over and a little old lady who was hoping for compensation for her wall and her "big" plants and trees.
It struck me that this kid was SO stupid as to endanger his life and the lives of others to drive totally wasted. Obviously he didn't have any real friends around to stop him from doing so. Lord knows what he's being charged with. Frankly, he's fuckin lucky that he didn't kill anyone.
The idiot wasted his life being wasted. How fucking pathetic.

Family Matters
I went on a small trip with Arnell to Las Vegas. We had stayed at his Tita Jane's place. I didn't get to do anything I wanted to do while I was there.
The Strip? No.
Sushi-Mon? No.
Original Pancake House? No.
Getting sloshed? No.
I was a little apprehensive about meeting family members. I am always conscious of my actions as I do not know who would be connected to his parents. No. His parents are NOT cool with the gay thing. So...that means that they would totally hate me.
It means a lot that I can meet a part of his family, but it scares me when I can't be myself around people. I love the fact that the family in Vegas has loved me and I love them a lot. I'm glad that we really got to know each other. I guess it means more because I will probably never get to meet his parents...and even if I did, I don't know if they would even respect me since he and I have been together for over 3 years and counting. Hearing his aunts and cousins express how much they like me is the closest I'll be getting to his family...
His family dynamic is different, they're not so reserved as tends to be. They do silly projects together but my family is so scared of having a sense of humor sometimes.
I hope that his family continues to accept and love me. I certainly love the ones that I have met so far. I am glad that I was able to fit in with them and feel like family.
Who cares if I didn't get to do what I wanted to do? I got to seize a rare opportunity and gained something from it. I am welcome in a home and a family. That means a lot to me. It means a lot to have his relatives love me. They referred to me as a "keeper."
This is a huge step for me.

Neglect
I suppose it's been waaay to long since I've written. I have to admit that I have been so busy trying to get things back in order. Ever since school started, it's been a whirlwind of good and bad. I have constantly thought about updating this website, and I'm sure that no one really even goes back to read this anymore.
So what has been blogworthy?
1. My 25th Birthday
I must say... Arnell really put a lot of hard work and even put our friends & family to work. He really won my heart by throwing me a Gay Prom. As much as they all stressed and all of the stall tactics they could think of, I knew something was afoot. ha. Yes, it will be a birthday I won't soon forget. (But no gifts? what's up with that? haha)
2. I lost my stupid job. Whatever, I'm glad to leave that stupid place. Why is it that I can't be appreciated. I tend to be taken for granted at my workplace. Fuck them. That store is going to hell now that I'm gone.
3. Went to Gay Day at Disneyland this year. I had a really good time.
4. I have been really bad at Platinum Club's FitClub lately. It's like since I turned 25 things haven't been the way I'd like them to be.
5. Hung won TOP CHEF! Haha, I have to admit I have a little secret crush on him. I mean come on...a guy who can cook?! I know right....
Now with that all out of the way...
I haven't been too happy with life lately. My funds are running out fast and I have to find a job or I won't get to go to New York. I hate the fact that so many bad things had to happen and I've been struggling to get back on my feet. I want to be happy again. I want to be bubbling with life like I used.
Whatever.
Let's see what this trip to Vegas does to my spirit. I can't way to see LISA!
woot.
(Let's hope that I don't neglect my blogger!)
