So I don't get why some people are so excited for school to start already. I know I'm not. With my internship just ending a couple weeks ago, I feel like my summer just started. It sucks. And it's not like I have a real break when I can sit around all day bummin it. I had to work full-time in school and do a lot of stuff for PASS after my internship. But in a way, I think it's better this way. I think deep down I'd rather be busy than not. Man, I'm special.
Updates on my loife
- at home: making progress in terms of unpacking and fixing my crap and decorating. there's still so much stuff to clean and fix and all that fun stuff. maybe that's why ive been going home every weekend this summer. finally had a mini-house blessing with the family. it was fun seeing cousins and everyone again.
- PASS Pilipino-Americans in Social Studies: spent A LOT of toime preparing for welcome week and will prolly be spending some more toime for first general meeting. WEDS., SEPT 29, 7:30pm AT THE CROSS CULTURAL CENTER! BONFIRE RITE AFTER!
- WYSE Women and Youth Supporting Each Other: met up with the girls for a little potluck and it was nice seeing them and hanging out. excited to meet the new mentees this year
- Liwanag: feeling guilty for not going to summer meetings but hoping that i will be as dedicated as i was last year
- tiredness: is what ive been feeling this whole friggin summer
More updates to come later. I'll prolly be posting a lot of stuff for PASS coz it's my job to promote it. Heehaa. Okai I should do work now.

My Last Day of Work and My Cake
I was kinda sad that morning. It was just the last day of my internship, but it felt like the end of an era. Haha. But then I felt kinda happy thinking about the extra hour sleep I'm gona be getting after that. Okai maybe I was mostly sad. Even though there were toimes when I wanted to get that internship over with, I still enjoyed working with the most awesomest people ever.
I remember my co-worker asking me where I wanted to eat coz they wana take me out to lunch. I said Bj's would be foine, so he was all oohh okai cool! And then he asked what's the one bestest restaurant I loike. I said Cheesecake Factory. Then he said, "Uhm ionow if we could do that for lunch." I was loike, "Great, thanx."So my boss telling me not to make lunch plans that day because I figured they were gona take me out to lunch. But then people were making their own lunch plans so in my head I was thinking, "Great I'm f-ing starving and apparently no one's planning on feeding me." But it turns out I was gonna go to lunch with my boss and two other co-workers. We went to this place called Hof's Hut (If you don't know what/where that is then you're foine. None of the people I told this story to knew it either). The food wasn't all that, but I was still grateful for the free lunch. Okai actually I was expecting my boss to take us to a nicer place. But I was starving so I would have eaten anything. So that was over. Went back to work, counting down my last few hours left. Finally, it was almost toime for me to leave. One of my co-workers was all, "Hey boss needs you in the breakroom." I was all, "Am I in trouble?" He's all, "No they just wana say goodbye to you.'" So I got all scared coz I mite cry or sumtin. But I didn't! I came in the breakroom and they were all there with a big ass cake from costco and gift cards from In n Out and Cheesecake Factory. I was about to cry. Okai no I wasn't. My boss was telling me how I must've been rilly well-loiked around there because they did that to other people before too, but the turnout of the contribution was way more than they usually get. Okai roight there I was about to cry. But I didn't. I said my goodbyes and stuff, actually almost cried when one of my co-workers who has taught me so much hugged me and stuff. *sigh* So that was that. I loved the people I worked with because they were so welcoming and nice and funnie and aaahhh okai I'm over it. Finally left the office, with a plate of cake (I wanted to take home the big ass cake but it wouldve been hard carrying it on the bus and stuff). I was sitting on the bus, just thinking about all the funtoimes I had in that internship. I got back in my apartment, still feeling sad, and then I realized, "Shet I should've just brought the whole damn cake home."
