OMG! watch "My Sassy Girl"... eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! *will explain in possibly great detail later on*
wow. last night was lots of fun. actually everything this last week has been great. hmm.. what've i been doing?
weds. 1/14 moved in. had dinner w/ vaughn, chris, ruben, leo, jaelyn, & her bf eric... played texas hold 'em w/ taboo cards for "chips". dude, leo's a crazy player. "i'm all in" SHIT! i don't even have 5 cards and he's putting in all, idk, 40 of his! shooooot. .. played taboo. 4 boys and 1 girl (two of which were brothers) haha. so i played on both teams... yay! i won of course! i mean... really, how could i lose! it was the bomb ..... DOT COM! yup! that was alll me right there! then vaughn had to reconfigure his WHOLE computer and removed the 14 viruses that had accumulated over the course of a semester (2 that somehow appeared over winter break... even though his computer was off and unplugged the whole time!?!? how does that happen? scary, the viruses are having virus babies!) anyways... i learned how to play pusoy dos for real! man... i played some stupid hands. hahaha... and then they laughed at my inexperienced ass over here! aye yi yi... and then ruben got extra mean and was like "ok rita... this is how i'm gonna beat you." and then he starts commentating his card hands... man! ima beat him one day.... badly! you'll see, ha! jk jk.. it's all love. but freals, it was like pick on rita day or something... maybe i should defend myself more? anyway... chris was pretty patient, but then he too turned on me. blah! and i lost it and threw my cards done and fell back. god! it's good to be a girl... haha. imagine a boy doing that. hahahahahaha... ha! man... i've gotta play the people back home now. bring it!
thurs 1/15 i forget what i did that morning. if you know, remind me? lol... hmmm... i talked to lauren for a bit. went to crossroads for dinner and met up w/ vaughn & leo and michelle (vaughn's friend from high school). it's always funny at dinner whenever we start talkin about high school. you see, vaughn went to long beach poly... (oh yeah, michelle was one of their cheerleaders, too) and me, i went to carondelet but i might as well say de la salle... cuz you know it's on when we talk football teams. shoot. rivalry...yup. all fun, though. we don't hate. (nor do we exclude!) vaughn was like hecka ghetto-fied... it's a side i hadn't really seen before. real cool. and leo... man. i love leo. he's my dancing partner! what can i say... haha. we're both sitting at the dinner table scoping out the same guys that walk by. AHA! well, in the midst of dinner i missed like 3 calls from peter. michelle and vaughn and leo walked me back to I-house were we met up. michelle was tight. i liked her. they said i looked like a girl they didn't like in high school. her name was jodi? jodie? idk... vaughn didn't know whether to like me or not when we first met. hahahaha... they said peter reminded them of drew? yeah. so then peter and i headed over to cody's to listen to an author. i thought it was pretty good. my feet kinda hurt from standing the whole time though. but i thought it was alright. i think i'll go to those types of talks more often. i mean, i do live in berkeley... there's always stuff like that happening. i should really take advantage of that while i'm still here. after that we went to top dog b/c the pizza from blondie's wasn't sufficient. poor guy. and went back to stern and hung out and chatted and looked at pics and video clips and john's hallelujah mp3! *sigh* good stuff! frances came by, too! we had a mini-sleepover thing 'cuz her suite was empty and man... foothill's kinda scary when you're all alone! we talked girly talk & family talk & we watched a league of extraordinary gentlemen.. or at least tried to. i started to fall asleep...
fri 1/16. redid my blog. went w/ frances to visit the malixi's @ their place aka pinky. we watched the "kiss" video. i still get kinda emotional when i see it. oh man. we played more pusoy dos... yup yup! the rest of the day kinda dragged on. i went to dinner w/ frances and forbade her to have the "ice-cream"... hehe. it's cool though. we'll treat ourselves to cold stone on of these days.
sat. 1/17 i left berkeley around 9 am. then went over to auntie lily's place to learn my music for the broadway review we're doing at church in june... june 26 to be extact. woah. that's like 6 months from now! anyway... i learn my solo. i'm singing "i enjoy being a girl" from flower drum song! how cool... i get to be like lea salonga for 5 minutes! get 'em. i also learned the full choral pieces: Oklahoma, June's A'Bustin Out All Over, It's A Grand Night, & Heart. i really like these songs... especially heart. it's so jazzy & upbeat--a real feel good. tamara & cathy were there, too, to learn their songs. it's gonna be a good show! i'm excited! later on, i went to the Sto. Nino mass @ St. Peter Martyr Parish in Pittsburg. I had the privilege of carrying up the Sto. Nino statue b/c i am the reigning "miss hawaii-pittsburg" for the Filipino Catholic Society of Pittsburg. yup. not that that means much... but i guess it's kinda cool. plus i like being involved in their community. after mass, there was a dinner and lots of entertainment. good times.
sun 1/18 finished the St. Agnes cheer music. again... phew. went back to berkeley in time for the special 1st year year. vaughn, jae, bev, frances & camille all helped cook lumpia, spaghetti, and a pie. yay! i brought some cookies. it was so wonderful to see all those bright faces again! it feels right. after dinner we played taboo. HAHA! the boys won. but only b/c we couldn't get our act together. giggly girls... what can ya do? i've gotta admit though, my head wasn't entirely in the game. we were watching that movie where hilary swank is a guy (boys don't cry?) and idk... the scenes were pretty graphic. me and leo were dancing around a lil too... i can't wait to start dancing again! well... the rest of them went to mass @ newman and i went back to stern. had a long talk w/ peter. it's time for those new year's resolutions to take affect.
mon 1/19 woke up at 7:30! 7:30 on a holdiay... and school hadn't even started yet! hahahahahahahah... i gave josh a wake-up call so he could change his schedule. and then we decided to meet for breakfast at Crossroads @ 8:30. yeah.... i was late b/c i decided to go back to sleep after i called him. but crossroads wasn't even open! haha. so we went to noah's bagel and got something to eat. well. i did. he got some half & half and didn't even open it! anyway... i visited his dorm and was introduced to his roomie... we talked until crossroads was open at 10:30. i looked at a scrapbook that his girlfriend made him. eeeeee! it was too cute! she really loves him. and him, her. awwww... it's great seeing long distance relationships work out! i also met a new dude on his floor (daniel?). he was very tall & handsome & polite. (he had a cute hungarian accent, too!) yup. so we had brunch at crossroads and i saw ajay & chris from my math class last sem, & there was daniel sitting alone to eat. = (. i really should've invited him to eat w/ us... but ya know... after brunch, we went back to his place for some reason that i don't remember right now, but on the way back we ran into ajay & chris again, along w/ his roommate. small world, eh? so then we got his books & a web access card & then doddled around berkeley some more... and finally he walked me all the way back to stern. ahaha... it was a long uphill trek. after that, he said he'd never come back to visit! ahaha... too bad he left his books in my dorm & had to get them back the next day! ha!
later on... i went to the Puma store w/ frances. she needed to do some shopping. diana & chris came with, too! good fun... did you know that jollibee is gone?!?! yeah... that sucked. such a disappointment! so we ate elsewhere. we walked all the way back to stern and then i had a hall mtg... afterwards, we reunited at foothill for some "american idol" & "my big fat obnoxious fiance" w/ frances' suitemates! wow. i can't believe that kid on american idol was in my engineering seminar last semester! OMG! wow... OMG! later we went to the foothill lounge for the RW/RR Challenge... poor Coral. Monday was a long day... but i wouldn't have had it any other way!
tues 1/20. the first day of school!! had a physics lab @ 10 & a cancelled linguistics discussion @ 2. it was all good. i don't really have much to say about my classes, except that there's a whole lot of work to be done this semester. woooooo.... had dinner w/ the froshies. mini-reunion part 2... haha. we got split-up tablewise though. but it's cool... i went back to"pinky" w/ Chris & Joy to watch "My Sassy Girl"! ahhhhhhh!!! it was sooooooooooooo good. sigh. love. sigh. lost love. sigh. reunite lovers. sigh. i felt connected to the main female character. like, her mannerisms when it came to boys were kinda like mine. haha. "i'll kill you" no no. but i definitely knew what she was talking about the whole time. i feel ya, girl... after the movie, we listened to a lot of music and talked and played spit, speed, pusoy dos, and ding lun. it was SO MUCH FUN!
weds 1/21 i had 5 classes today. 10-4. woo hoo......................................... (that's more of a tired woo hoooooooo). and then i had an ASUC CO mtg. mucho tired!
thurs 1/22 had a physics lab today... it's nothing like physics in high school. first of all, my lab partner was not all that focused or wanting to do anything. so i pretty much did the whole thing while he copied my notes and answers. blah! oh wait.... actually, hs physics labs were kinda like this. haha... i had lunch w/ camille and her friend kyle. we saw the american idol guy and just kinda watched him during lunch. i can't remember laughing so much w/ a person i had just met. i think he's living in bowles too... there was quite interesting conversation going on... i had dinner w/ josh at "club dc3". lol... yeah. we're gonna own a club one day. it's gonna be tiiiight. lol. maybe. anyway...... it was the first time i'd eaten dinner at DC3. decent, it was. after that, i went over to the ASUC for "mocktails", but it was pretty much empty except for mike who came late too. everyone had gone over to kris' frat... so we walked over there and met up w/ anil along the way. he was headed to mondo gelato (did you know that that place changed its name over break?!?! weird...) played some good games of foozeball! i was on fiyaa! burn baby burn....
fri 1/23 had all 5 classes again today. i don't know what i would do if i didn't already know people in my classes. i met some cool guys in my math discussion today. i think i'd like to get to know them beter... lol. let's see: will & mike kurylo are in my physics class. nicky & josh & will & ben & steph & tessie & a bunch of other people are in my math class. josh & nari & kelsey are in my engineering class. ashley & neal & amy are in my lingiustics class. yup. we'll see how things go. lots of reading already.... sigh. going from 10-4 w/out eating kinda SUCKS! especially w/ a light breakfast. i was dying by noon. so after my math lecture i went to the free speech movement cafe for a bianca mocha and a chocolate croissant. OH... MY... GOD... It was soooooooooooo good! josh laughed at me when i came into E 36 w/ my food and i guess he pitied me. so he offered to bring me cheetos every monday, wednesday, and friday to hold me over till 4. hahahaha... this cannot be good for my diet. dad came around 5. did some quality TV watching w/ mom, jamie, and rachel. some wild and stupid dancing going on... but it's all great fun. hahaha... shake those hips!
the weekend: went well... lectored at the 5pm. went to the mexico dinner and won a basket full of chocolate candy and bars and cocoa and everything i'm trying to avoid. luckily it's at home and not in my dorm. wrote some things for kairos. did some hw and reading. went to China Wall Buffet for my uncle's b-day. got back to berkeley around 8:30. spent time w/ the froshies and got my spirituality on @ newman. mini-reunion #3. lol. i love how we linger until someone finally has the courage to say they've gotta go and then everyone else follows suit and says they've gotta go too. lol. good for you, rannel! i mean, mom! hehe... he's so responsible. we all can learn a thing from him.
right now: i'm listening to an mp3 of albert chiang's newest hit! wow. the more i hear about him, the more impressed i'm becoming... and maybe that's just cuz i only hear the good things, but hehe... he's SUCH A KEEPER... good job in the friends department, peter. mmmm... good music. puts me in a good mood. a reflective one. |
