My story of the day
So today was one of my co-worker's birthday. At around lunchtoime, there was a delivery for her, and it turned out to be a dozen of red roses from her boyfriend. I saw it sitting on her desk (coz who would miss a big ass vase of red roses) and I was all, "Aww those are really pretty. You're bf's so sweet." But in my oh-so-bitter-head I'm thinking, "Ugh gag me with a spoon puhlease. That's twelve f-in roses of f-in bullshit." Yes, I am forever-bitter, but I can't help but hear myself say it. I saw her admiring her roses, with the biggest smile on her face, prolly feeling like the luckiest/happiest girl in the world. In my head I can hear myself say, "It's pathetic how a dozen roses can make you look so foolish when it comes to love." But deep inside, I'm secretly wishing to be that foolish girl I once was.

Random post of the day just coz...
This is one of my favorite church songs that I haven't heard in so long.
Anima Christi
Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Water from the side of Christ , wash me
Passion of Christ, give me strength
Hear me Jesus
Hide me in thy wounds that I may never leave thy side
From all the evil that surrounds me, defend me
And when the call of death arrives, bid me come to thee
That I may praise thee with thy saints
Forever.

I had a hectic but awesome week last week! I got 2 friggin days off work thanx to the best manager on earth (man if only he could read this). This blog will be perty long only coz it's koinda detailed. So if you rilly love me then you'll read my awesome adventures till the end. Enjoy!
My long weekend started on Wednesday afternoon, rushed home to pack for PASS's (Pilipino-Americans in Social Studies) camping retreat. Me and Rone rode with Pahed, met up with everyone else in the gas station, and headed straight to the camp site in Trabuco Canyon, which is approximately 20mins south of Irvine. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, considering it was my first time camping. Albertson's was friggin 5 minutes away so that was very convenient haha. Besides the Jack in the Box and Albertson's chicken dinners, the riteaid ice cream run, and the trip to the man-made lake, everything else felt loike a real camping trip. I slept surprisingly well despite the bumpy/rocky ground that we slept on. I had major funtoimes setting up the tent, brushing our teeth with bottled water, waking up Rone and forcing her back to sleep, bonfires and pyros, smores with crunch, hotdogs, hiding games, jumping for pics, frisbee games, hungry bees, waking up to ants, bacon eggs & wet bagels, slowjams, ghost stories, rice stories, doorless bathroom stalls, naps, fellow uci campers, and stinkiness all the way. Drove back to Irvine Friday before noon and showered loike there was no tomorrow. Yeah PASS!
After the camping retreat, chilled back at the apartment for a bit, rested, Love Actually, then I was off to San Francisco! Dad picked me up from Irvine, drove me to the Burbank airport, flew Southwest around 9:25pm and arrived at the Oakland airport around 10:20pm. That was the first toime I flew by myself and I was scared shitless coz of the majorly bumpy flight. Friggin Southwest. But I was so excited when I finally saw Babs (my bespren since 4th/5th grade) after ten million years! Okai maybe 5 years. Spent that night in Alameda (her grandparents' house). We could've talked all noight but we were both toired so went to bed earlier than we expected.
Saturday was practically our only day of fun together since I was only there for the weekend so we decided to take the Bart to downtown San Francisco. Instead of sight seeing (coz we were both tourists) we spent most of our toime shopping instead. Biggest mistake of our loives roight there. We were in French Connection for forever, deciding whether or not we should buy a $100 sweater. Finally, we basically pressured each other into buying it. We ended up getting that, and only that, since we were basically bankrupt when we got out of that store. I decided that we'd be better off sight seeing after that (it'd be definitely cheaper than shopping) so we took this bus to what we thought was Fisherman's Warf already but it wasn't. We prolly walked 3 miles to get there, and obviously we were perty toired and we needed to go back home soon, so we went straight to the gift shop where we spent another couple hours trying to buy stuff for people. To sum it all up, all we did was buy a friggin sweater and souvenirs. Awesometoimes.
Saturday noight Babs' bf arrived from Florida so we picked him up from the airport, supposed to go out that night but Babs' grandparents and uncle decided that we should spent that noight in their bigger house in Antioch since there was more of us staying over. The house was beautiful, but it was friggin 90 degrees that noight and I wasn't appreciating that. We ended up singing magic mic the whole noight till everyone was too toired (well at least most of us were). That was funtoimes. Slept perty late but it was awesometoimes.
Sunday morning had to wake up early coz we had to go back to Alameda to get breakfast with Babs' mom (we left here there haha) since I haven't seen her since I got there. Koinda had to rush eating coz my flight was leaving at 10:35am. Said our goodbyes and thankyous and they rushed me to the airport, only to foind the longest check-in loine ever, so I had to nervously wait and pray that the plane doesnt leave me. Finally got in, heard the last call for my flight, ran loike a mother to the gate. People were lookin at me loike "Shoot you better run faster than that." I was about to smack them all. But I made it! Yes I did! Even though I got a crappy/middle seat the flight back was less scary coz we landed smoothly. Parents picked me up from Burbank airport and went home, then out again to go bed shopping with sister. Went back to Irvine that night and fell asleep at friggin 11pm. Awesome toiring toimes.
I wish my vacation was longer but I couldn't afford to take more days off. I seriously thought the two days off that I took for the camping trip was paid. But it wasn't!It was an approved absence but apparently Interns don't really get those so it was not friggin paid. Ggggrrrrrrrr. Oh well. At least I had a fun vacation. I just need to stop spending.
So this week I'm back at work, still trying to learn and understand all this investing stuff that I don't get sometoimes. Yesterday was fun though because I got to go with one of the financial reps on his seminars in this hospital in Santa Ana with free food of course. The people who attended the seminars were mostly nurses, so of course there were a lot of Filipino nurses. Besides the accent, the one sure way I could tell they were Filipino was because they were asking for hecka free pens. Hilariousness.
I've also been eating out a lot this week--not good. I haven't been running, but I've been trying to "swim." Okai maybe not but I was in the pool walking around and stuff. I guess Toigerheat was koinda loike a workout since it was friggin hot in there and I was sweating loike no other.
Oh yeah we just got our carpet cleaned and it looks grrreeaaattt. No one is allowed to step foot in our carpet with shoes on or dirty feet ever again! If you have any of those, you're not welcome at all. That's roite I'm a carpet nazi Alisa. Shet.
Okai this is rilly long and beggining to sound random so I think I'm gona stop here. I have a lot more random thoughts floating in my head but it's friggin freezing here at work so I can't think very well roite now. Oh yeah WELCOME BACK SUE! I MISS YOU! WE HAVE TO EAT DEMNIT! Mwah. Okai more random blogs later. Payce.
