So I was sitting in class and overheard this conversation:

Girl: Yeah, I've been to Europe a couple times.
Boy: Oh really. Where in Europe?
Girl: Polland. My family's from there.
Boy: Oh wow. Do you speak Polish?
Girl: Yeah, actually I do.
Boy: How do you say, "You have very beautiful eyes?"

So I was about to burst out laughing but of course that would've been weird. I didn't know people actually use pick-up lines. And I didn't know that people fall for it too. Oh maaayn.

Nothing real exciting happening here. Just been chillen at home, watching a lot of tv, a lot of hanging out with mom, a lot of driving around, so basically just a lot of bumming around. I love it.

Ion't wana go back to school!

And I think it went something like this...

It's like...buying a new dog. It's a huge responsibility. You have to make sure it's doing okay. If you see something's wrong you have to take it to the doctor. Or have a general check-up all the time. It has to be entertained once in a while or else it'll go crazy. You have to groom it and make sure it's presentable. You have to make sure that it's safe or else if something happens, you'll end up getting hurt. It's such a hassle you know?

Hmmm...maybe that's why I'm not too fond of dogs.

Whoever can guess what "it" is, you get a cookie. And no, "it" is not about having a baby.

Thanksgiving was food-filled.

Shopping was kinda fun. Except for rude shoppers who don't care about everyone else around them.

Thanx sooo much for those who helped out with our community service at the Intercommunity Care Center. I never thought it would be such an awesome experience.

Finals are over. Yay! (I love finals week for some reason. I love procrastinating and staying up with friends and everyone else. Ionow why.)

I will miss Alisa dearly. I love you Alisa!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COUSIN LINDS!

Took a two-hour busride to Brea Mall with Rona. Oh the joys of not having a car.

Now I'm working in Irvine for the rest of winter break. Awesometoimes.

Looking forward to Les Mis with my one and only roomate-roomate--Chelle.


I should really blog foreal. Not just stuff that has been happening but real stuff. Whenever I start bloggin about "real stuff" I just end up deleting it. Ionow why. Wutever. I guess I need more toime to think about stuff and then I'll write about it. Or not.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

Random/nerdy economics moment that I had today:
So Inferior Goods are cheap goods that you buy because they're cheap, not because you like them. If you have more money than usual, you wouldn't buy an inferior good because you would rather buy something more expensive because the expensive good is way better. So today, my tutor used Spam as an example of an inferior good. I lost her after that. I don't understand why people wouldn't eat Spam if they had a million dollars.

Random church moment:
I went to mass at my church this weekend expecting to have the mean old priest that they usually have on Saturday afternoons. His sermons were usually long and boring, almost like he was reading it off the bible. But the new Filipino priest did the Saturday mass this weekend. And even though his homily was rilly short, I actually wanted to listen. He said that if you wanna have a gud day, then you should T.A.L.K.

T - Thank Him for everything He has given you
A - Acknowledge the blessings you've been given
L - LOVE
K - Knock/Kneel and He will accept you unconditionally

After that, he made us all stand and sing WITH ACTIONS, this song!


GIVE THANKS
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks unto the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks unto the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son
And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich because of what the Lord has done for us"
And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich because of what the Lord has done for us"
My mom was actually doing it, but my dad was a little hesitant. That was the funnest mass I've been to in that church. My parents were making fun of the priest because they assumed he didn't have a lot to say, and that's why he just made us stand up and do the song with actions. But I liked it!
So neways, life has been good to me so far. Too good actually. It's a kinda scary. Because whenever a bunch of good things happen to me all at once, it means that a bunch of bad things will happen later. Yes, I'm a strong believer of karma. I guess I just have to be more grateful rather than cynical. I'd rather enjoy the good things than dwell on the bad ones. I dunno if that made sense. But neways, here's just some of the good stuff that's been happening to me:
- my quizzes and homework grades are lookin gud
- i have a little bit of self-control with wut i eat now
- had a talk with my boss (i thought i was in trouble) but she just wanted to say how grateful she was for my work (yeahp, i was surprised too)
- dad was helping me make my room at home nicer
- mom was in a very giving mood over the weekend when we went shopping in downtown la and bed bath and beyond. she even wanted us to get our eyebrows waxed but we didn't have time. next thing you know were getting pedicures together.
- and last but not the least: I did not get in trouble when I came home home late Friday night.
That's all.
Thanx for taking me home once again I owe you a lot and sorry I fell asleep. Haha okai I'm lame.

See you there!

Thursday, September 23, 2004

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."

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.

Wednesday, July 28, 2004

This was the post I wrote last week that I didn't publish:

Hallow hallow children I'm aloive I'm aloive! You would think I'd have a major update on my loife but not rilly. But Im gona try and remember everything that I've been up to these past few weeks…

- interning everyday from 8am-4:30pm - work everyday in school 4:45pm-6:00pm or earlier
- PASS meetings (Pilipino Americans in Social Studies)
- birthday dinners
- chillentoimes with the roomies - jogging - always home on the weekends, packing to move to a new house

Birthday greetings…

July 19 BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRISTINA MAABA! Dude I'm still waiting for my beer. Where is it Cristina, where is it?!? You've been an awesome friend and I think we need to catch up soon. When you're not as important and popular maybe you'll have toime to talk to me? Ionow when that will be though. Heehee jaykay I luv you mwah!

July 22 BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINE TSAI! I'm glad our little surprise thing surprised you even a lil bit. *cough* gladys' fault *cough* It was fun chillen with you guys last night especially hearing your fun news and stuffffff loike that. Wishing you all the happiness in the world…you deserve it. Mwah luv you Christine!

I seriously feel so old these past few weeks. I kinda know now what it feels like to be a real working adult. I have to get up at 7am everyday so I could get to work before 8am. I'm there for 8 hours, go back to my apartment dead toired, eat dinner, either chill, watch movie, tv, or go out for just a couple hours because I would have to sleep early so I could function normally the next day. Most of the toime I'm too toired to do anything that I just want to lay there forever. I feel like I don’t have much toime to do anything else. My weekends are my only time to just chillax and that's when I go home to help pack coz we're moving to our new house this weekend. It's weird coz I feel like I'm at work forever but then when I get home everything goes by so fast. Okai I'm babbling. Just wanted to share what it's like to be old. I'm not saying I don't like work. I'm just saying how toiring it is. Work can be boring sometimes because all I do is the easy stuff that I can't get in trouble for. I can't really do much since I'm not licensed to deal with clients which is the fun part. But I can actually say that I do enjoy working here because the people are rilly nice and fun, and I get to pretend to be all "grown up." Hahaha okai wutever.

So on to other news…I'm koinda excited that my family's moving to Northridge! Kinda excited because it's a real house and it has a pool n all (well the house is kinda old so we had to paint it n all but it's not loike a wow house). But I'm koinda sad coz I love Hollywood and I rilly don’t wana live far from LA. And also I'm gona miss the apartment. *sigh* Oh well. The pool makes up for it I guess. Pool party coming soon so stay tuned!

 
This is my post for today...

My family finally moved this weekend. The house is a total mess still, boxes and furniture everywhere. All in all, move in day was alrite. I was kinda sad actually. Stupid sister made me sad. I wasn't supposed to be coz I was foine, but she made me sad. Shet. I know I'm gona miss the old apartment and LA. *sigh*  Had fun with cousins though. Oh well. At least I get my own room now. *sigh*

Today is my 6th year anniversary living here in the States. Awesometoimes.

One more birthday greeting for the month of July...

To David: May your spirit  soar gracefully on the whispering breeze. May your joy run strong as the deepest seas. May your soul reach out to embrace the sky. May your heart guide you truly
as the years go by. JAYKAY.  I got that from somwhere I didn't wroite that.Forget all that. I just wish that your fulfil your goal by the toime your 21. Yes, we're changing it to 21. That's the real deadline. And since you didn't invite me to get pho you don't get a gift. Mwah.

Okai this is one random and long blog. I'm sure I have a lot more stories to tell but I just don't remember roite now. Oh well.

Hope everyone's having an awesome summer!
