Updates on life...

The picture above was taken by my younger brother during the Fiesta in the Philippines.

- On Tuesday my brother and I got the opportunity to watch Wicked. It was my second time and it was the first time for my brother. I love that musical.

- The apartment is still a complete mess. I need to seriously get a move on cleaning up.

- I'm in a search for employment. I received a call this morning from a diagnostic center in San Rafael (a part time job). Hopefully I can get a call back for an interview time. I would love that job because it's close to the school and it's part time.

- I wish I had more money. I would tear Ikea apart. I've just been buying more stuff for the house instead of clearing out all the stuff I already have in the living room.

- I have two exams next week. I gotta catch up on some reading. I was doing good with the reading last week, but I've been falling behind.

Random note of the day: Taye Diggs is a nice piece of man cake.

A crazy couple of weeks!

- There have been a million things going on all at once....

1) I've started school at Dominican University (this being my second week of school)

2) I've nearly completely moved out of my Sacramento apartment, and now almost completely moved IN to my new one in the Bay Area.

3) I watched Wicked last Friday (August 26th). It was the best musical I have ever seen by far. I wish I could go see it again. Check out the site --> http://www.wickedthemusical.com/ Apparently, they're having auditions in MA. Too bad I can't just drive there. I'd totally try and audition.

4) Had my last day at work on August 19th. The gang hung out at the State Fair after work ...then we headed over to eat...then we went to a gay bar. haha (It was the closest thing around). Then I headed home. It was a long day, but fun. The day after that...Mundo and I watched 40 year old virgin then Charlie and the Chocolate factory...the day after that....we went shopping at the Folsom Outlets and spent more money than we should have.

- Life had been eventful! I've realized I hate moving. Too much work! The only thing that would make moving great is if I absolutely hated my roommate. I think I can learn to love the new apartment..it's just going to take some time. I slept there by myself for the first time last night. It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.

- Shopping list..
1) Universal remote control
2) Extension cord with a third hole in it.

Random Note of the Day: I hate it when a nice old crazy driver cuts you off. It makes it hard to be angry. Stop smiling kindly when you cut me off old people!!

Not Feeling Too Great Right Now

- It never seems to fail. Right before school starts I always manage to get sick! I hate having a cold. It sucks. Being a work sick is even worse. Hopefully it fades by Monday so I can kick off the school year healthy and prepared.

- For my birthday I received:

• 1) A total of $635
• 2) Pajamas (which someone always gives me on any gift giving occassion- because I LOVE pajamas)
• 3) A book
• 4) Nail kit
• 5) Camisoles
• 6) Web Cam
• 7) A short movie that the Newsies made themselves (this is indie at it's finest)...courtesy of my brother.

8) Tickets to watch WICKED!! (from Mundo)

....also my aunt gave me a very late Christmas present..it was still wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper and everything...It was a lovely Gap sweater.

*Birthdays are GRAND...minus the aging that comes along with it ofcourse.

- I think Mundo really liked what I got him....Three frames of pictures I took of his family....Nike Workout Clothing, and Polo Blue. I was really excited about the WICKED tickets he got. It sucks that he had to pay so much for them cause of scalpers who buy tickets for regular price then selling them again on Ebay for three times that amount.

- I'm planning on watching Comedy Jam on Sept 24th in the Bay Area. Carlos Mencia, Charlie Murphy, and a whole bunch of other comedians are performing there. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. I thinking of doing what these stupid scalpers do and buying a whole bunch for cheap, then selling them for twice or even three times that amount. I hate scalpers. They freaken suck.

- Yesterday was the line up for American Idol auditions at the Cow Palace in SF. My friend Greg went. Good luck to him. I hope to see him on television.

- Congratulations to my friend David who has recently been engaged to marry*. He asked me to be his bridesmaid yesterday, and I willingly accepted. I'm totally happy for you. Finally!!

- Going to the State Faire tomorrow with some co-workers afterwork...then afterward drunken kereoke. I don't know if I'm going to be up for all that cause I'm sick and all, but I'm sure as heck am going to try.

- Can't believe school starts Monday!! Aaaah!! Scary!

Random Note of the Day: Headaches aren't really headaches, they're scalp-aches.

*Not necessarily true.

My 24th Birthday

- So today...I turn a sad 24. Dang it!!! On the good side...Mundo cooked me breakfast today....macadamia nut pancakes. They were awesome!

- At the moment...I'm at work. Working on your birthday is never really any fun. After work I'm meeting up with my mom and brother to have dinner.

- Yesterday I took the day off. I bought Mundo his birthday present: Three frames of pictures I took of his family (Which, I have to say myself, are great!), Nike workout clothing, and polo blue cologne. I'm still thinking of getting him some banana republic clothing, but I don't know. He still hasn't told me what he's gotten for me. We're sort of waiting on tonight to let each other know what we got.

- Tonight is the second episode of Going Tribal and I don't want to miss it. So what I'm probably going to do is have my mom bring home some food instead of eating out because I want to be able to watch it.

- Moving to my new apartment on August 28th. I am very excited to move back to the Bay Area, but I am not excited about paying the ridiculous gas prices and insane rent payments. Damn it!

- After my brother Jay interviewed Mr. Garrett for his summer project my mom picked him up. After all these years she finally met both Mr. & Mrs. Garrett. Glad they finally met.

Random Note of the Day: How many times did they graduate High School on Saved by the Bell. It's at least two times....once when Kelly and Jesse Spano were there because I remember how Screech gave up valedictorian to Jesse Spano. I know there was another graduation when the biker girl was in the cast.

- This is my little brother Jay in Mr. Garrett's wonderful car. My brother is currently away at summer camp. I miss him already, but good Jay. Evil Jay can stay at camp forever.


- Picture of Gabriel (basically my adopted brother and future roommate). I love this picture. I know it's not good to vandalize, but somehow it's acceptable when it's at night with fog. I love this picture.

- My last day at my full time job in Sacramento is next Friday. I'm putting some serious thought into who I'm going to leave my stupid goldfish with. I thought this thing was going to die in a month, but it's a fighter. I think it's because I fed him rice before I finally decided that fish food flakes might be a better fit for his diet. Gold fish are NOT gold by the way (if you didn't already know). They're sparkely orange. Why don't they just rename it sparkely orange fish? Cause that's what it is!

- I was watching a movie yesterday called "Thirteen." That movie was so disturbing. I don't know how I got voted "best all around" in Junior High School when I absolutely hated it. I went to the ghetto school. I had such bad memories, and very little good. I'm going to voluntarily omit every Junior High School memory I have. That movie just reminded me of how glad I am to be in my 20s. I wish I could go back to the teenager I was years ago and let her know that it won't always be as bad as Junior High School. F-ing adolescense!

Random Note of the Day: When did I start to love vegetables? I used to despise them! I think my tastebuds mutated with age or something
