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…

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!

So my first day on my internship was this past Monday. I intern for this investment company called Fidelity Investments. My first day was bleh coz it was perty slow and I was jus in front of the computer falling asleep coz there was nuttin to do. But after that I was having fun with the people who work there (yes, they love me haha jaykay) and it was fun sitting in on their meetings (which made me feel all business-y and important) even though I had no idea what they were talkin about. I love the free coffee and oreas and danish cookies and bagels and lunch and funnie people and aaahhh okai I'm not obssessed. I was just expecting it to be horrible after the first day. But it's not. 9 more weeks of fun yaay.
Also been working in school for a bit, being a pass officer (Pilipino-Ams in Social Studies), and a liwanag member. Oh summer what will I do without you.
I've been busy at home too. We finally got a house in Northridge so we've been looking for stuff for the house...from furniture to appliances to paint, tiles, plants, etc. Im toired.
Went shopping for work clothes this weekend. So excited to dress all work-ish. Haha work-ish. Then had lola lunch today. Of course had fun toimes with cousins. This toime watching Meteor Garden DVDs. Interesting show man.
Oh saw The Notebook (I loikes this chickflick) and Dodgeball (fuuunnniiieee). I have so many more movies I wana watch. Who wants to take me?
So far those are my random updates that I remember. Been feeling rilly tired lately coz I get up at 7 every morning for work and coming home around 6. Hardcore yo. I guess that's how it works when I'm out in the real world. Bleh. Oh well. At least I won't have midterms or finals to worry about.
HAPPY 4th OF JULY EVERYONE!

Updates...
Finals Week
Had a final Tuesday and Froiday. Didn't appreciate the fact that everyone else was partying when I was still studying Thursday noite. When I finally finished my last foinal, wasn't as excited as I should have been because I didn't do too well and everyone was already back home or at least about to go home. Oh well.
Froiday of foinals week
I thought I was gona partay but ended up walking to the new Jack in the Box (which was an interesting place becoz it was unusually packed with the male species. I think me, Rone, and Gladys were the only girls there). We ended up watching 50 First Dates. Cute movie. Ended up chillen with friggin Rona till 6am. I was about to kill her.
Weekend
Thanx Gladys for taking me home once again! Weekend was perty chill with the familia. And of course had lola lunch on Father's Day. I love family toime with cousins. Especially with Kailangan Kita and Bagets. Bwaha.
Monday - chilled with cousin
Tuesday - chilled with Keith and BJ. Miss Saigon with Chelle, Christine T., Janice, Joanna, Joyce, Mel, Jill, Rica, Leo, Derrick, GP, Francia, & Cristina. Loved the play.
Wednesday - bummed around
Thursday - chilled with cousin again
Froiday - who knows
So I dunno why I had to post what I've been doing coz obviously it's not that interesting. Except I realized how much of a mother I am when I'm at home. I cook and clean and all that other fun stuff. It makes my mom n dad happy so I guess that's why I do it. It's the least I can do around here. Okai jk I'm just bored. Toime to cook roice. Payce.

Sorry about the semi-angry post. I blame it on finals rilly. I get annoyed with the littlest things. But I'm over it.
I had a petty, pathetic, semi-o.a. (overacting) moment yesterday outside the main library. It was kinda embarassing but quite funnie. Oh finals wut will I do without you.
Wanted to go to Denny's last night with the Immacers but had the will power to say no. With mighty force. I should be proud but then I didn't get nething done neway. It was Rona's fault.
One final down...one more to go! Froiday foinal baybeeeeeeee! Thats roite I end on Froiday so all you people who are done with finals better shut up and dont rub it in my face. Or jus buy me dinner and we'll call it even yeah?
Can't wait till it's over. Can't wait to go home and do nothing for one whole week before the madness starts again. I miss home.
So this has been one random post. So I'm gona go play mahjong solitaire now.

It’s true. “Life’s only as dramatic as you make it.” But sometimes, people have to understand where the person with problems is coming from. Don’t assume that it isn’t as serious as you think it is. Maybe it’s not. But what if it is?
Some people just don’t get it. First of all, I wana say that everyone has their own struggles and problems in life. You can’t compare a college kid with family, school, work, and friends problems with a person who has “scrapping the garbage to survive in Somalia” problems. That’s two different situations. Second of all, only a person who doesn’t know what it feels to be that low could say that these problems aren’t that big of a deal. Obviously, you don’t understand what it’s like. You wouldn’t be saying that if you know. Lastly, generalizing that everyone goes through the same petty problems isn’t too smart. Again, some people apparently have no idea what others go through each and everyday of their life. Only people who don’t give a shit about anything could say that. I’m sorry to inform you that there are people out there who care about life a lot and that’s how they get these umm, what do they call it…problems?…which you apparently don’t have. Some people should just stop pretending that they got everyone figured out and they know what every single person in this world is going through. You think you know what everyone’s about but you have no clue what’s going on. You’re not even close.
Neways…….
So I think I know now what could keep me jumping up and down during finals week: Red Ribbon chocolate cake. I realized this after I drank my tall java chip decaf while eating the cake at the same time. Or maybe it was the cake and my decaf combined? Eh wutever.
I can officially say that my apartment is the happiest place on earth during finals week. Ask anyone who came by who had free cookies, cake, and a Todo todo lesson. That’s roite baybeeeee. We rock hardcore!
Who’s screwed this finals weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!?!??! I am! I am! I wish I could say that I shouldn’t have watched Stepford Woives, Harry Potter, and gone clubbing (haha yes before finals week). But those were my study breaks so it’s okai. Okai I’m screwed foreal and it’s my fault. I guess it’s studytoime now. Payce homies!

Highlight of my day:
So I got my Econ midterm back last Thursday and I got a B+. I was koinda sad coz I have larc for that class and I should be getting A's. But then it was my bad becoz I did not study as much as I was supposed to. So I was looking over my test and I didn't understand why some points were taken off from one problem. So I asked my TA today and he looked at my midterm real quick and just added one point saying, "Yeah, you rilly deserve an A." So now I have an A-. That's roite baybee! A- for not studying! Lesson of the day: Even though you got an A, don't count on luck. Study and then you'll get a solid A.
Today started out as a bleh day but turned into a yay day. So perfect to end it with Liwanag. Never ceases to make my heart smoile. Thank YOU.

I'M ALOIVE I'M ALOIVE!
I haven't rilly been bloggin as much lately, and I just realized that whenever this happens it means that I haven't been in happy mode. It sucks. I'll elaborate towards the end of this post...
Had fun chillaxin toimes this past week...bbq with some homies, cramtoime with some stufff, getting ready for liwanag banquet, liwanag banquet (soo beautiful foreal...thanx to all those who made it possible), and wyse carwash.
So I just told my boss roite now that I got an internship this summer for 10 weeks. I felt rilly bad telling her that. She was telling me how they have projects lined up n stuff and I was supposed to help them out becoz that's what I said before. But I just had to ruin that. I hate this feeling. I hate not being able to please everyone. Crapnuts.
I haven't been feeling the motivation to do my school shtuff. It kinda shows with the grades I've been getting. Which is rilly sad becoz I'm only taking 12 units this quarter and my classes aren't even that hard. I need a motivation buddy to make me stay focused.
As much as possible, I try not to read people's sad posts becoz it jus makes me sad. Sometimes it jus makes me annoyed. But here I am, typing up a sad entry myself which makes me even more sadder than ever. Get it? Ion't get it.
I don't exactly know what's going on with me rite now. One minute I'm okai, laughing and chillen with friends. Next minute I wana get away from everything. It's only this quarter that I've felt this way. Maybe it's the stress. Ionow. Maybe it's my faith. That's prolly it. I'm being tested. I've been falling deeper and deeper. I don't know where to turn to. I can't see His face. It's as if I don't want to see. I can't even explain it. It's too hard to put into words. I don't know where I'm going. I don't know where I'm gona end up. And that scares me. I need to see Him but I'm blinded. I can't do this by myself.
I wana go home.

I missed Liwanag. Can’t believe I was m.i.a. for that long. I’m glad I went this past Tuesday. They never fail to make me feel oh-so-blessed. Loved the hugs I got. Made me feel good that I came back.
Went to Casa Youth Shelter for a WYSE field trip with our girls yesterday. We delivered the donations that we collected from people. They gave us a tour of the place and a background of what it was about. It’s basically a place for runaway teenagers who have different problems at home like abuse, neglect, abandonment, etc.
The founder of this place is this awesome lady, who is going to be 95 this year (I think), and has done a lot in her life…she was one of the first few women in the navy, served as a probation officer, worked with martin luther king, worked with cesar chavez, and did a whole lotta other stuff to help people. I just thought that she was an incredible woman with all that she has done and all the lives she’s made a difference in. It makes my heart smile to know that there are still people like her left in this world.
If you wana know more about it you can check out the website. And since now that you know about it, you can be an ambassador like me and let other people know about it! If you know anyone who’s having problems at home you can tell them about it.
Sooooo I’ve been rilly tired from school and midterms and papers and meetings and work and everything! I over slept today (and I know that whenever that happens it means it’s time to get a break) so was an hour late to work. It’s greatness. Good thing my boss understands (I think). It’s jus never-ending! I need a break! But I can’t get a break! Ever! Okai maybe I’m overreacting but still. I am toired. I NEED A BREAK (free breakfast, lunch, or dinner would be greatly appreciated thanks).

They gave us a tour of the place and a background of what it was about. It’s basically a place for runaway teenagers who have different problems at home like abuse, neglect, abandonment, etc.
The founder of this place is this awesome lady, who is going to be 95 this year (I think), and has done a lot in her life…she was one of the first few women in the navy, served as a probation officer, worked with martin luther king, worked with cesar chavez, and did a whole lotta other stuff to help people. I just thought that she was an incredible woman with all that she has done and all the lives she’s made a difference in. It makes my heart smile to know that there are still people like her left in this world.
If you wana know more about it you can check out the website. And since now that you know about it, you can be an ambassador like me and let other people know about it! If you know anyone who’s having problems at home you can tell them about it.
Sooooo I’ve been rilly tired from school and midterms and papers and meetings and work and everything! I over slept today (and I know that whenever that happens it means it’s time to get a break) so was an hour late to work. It’s greatness. Good thing my boss understands (I think). It’s jus never-ending! I need a break! But I can’t get a break! Ever! Okai maybe I’m overreacting but still. I am toired. I NEED A BREAK (free breakfast, lunch, or dinner would be greatly appreciated thanks).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GRANDMA (ON MY DAD’S SOIDE) LAST SATURDAY! I KNOW YOU READ THIS LOLA AND JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE FOOD AND MORE FOOD AND SOME MORE FOOD YOU’VE BLESSED ME WITH SINCE I WAS BORN. I LOVE YOU!
Okai so maybe she doesn’t read this. But that’s what I’d tell her neway.
True story from this weekend…So I was home again this weekend and my mom and I went to this supermarket near my house called “Jons” (Yes, it’s Vons with a J). We were about to pay for our shtuff when suddenly some dude came running in the store because someone was chasing him from outside. As my mom attempts to run for her life (forgetting that I am with her btw), some customer dude just grabbed him to stop him and about to beat him up, and all the other Jons employees were loike, “What’s going on…what’s wrong with you…why are you causing a scene blahblahblah.” This dude was all, “Someone’s trying to kill me! You’re guard’s trying to kill me!” He had cuts all over his body with blood dripping and all that gud stuff. They escorted him outside and I think that was the end of it. That was the extent of all the action that I’ve seen this week. Only in LA.
Ionow what else happened after but that is when I finally realized that I can’t handle panicky situations too well. I was jus standing there shocked and I didn’t know what to do. Just loike the microwave incident with the popcorn and the metal rack thing that I thought was gona explode. I just screamed and pointed and that was that.
Randomness…Yay for Tita Tess and Karla for coming to visit us. Hope to see u guys again next year maybe?
Bought a $10 dress shirt. Score.
Despite the toime pressure we had and the semi-creepy waiter, I had fun Sue.
Cousinstoime as usual. Lola’s food, guitar (“You’ll never know…” bwhaha), Erin Brokovich, Ube cake, and halo halo. And they wonder why I look like this! GEEZNUTS.
I just received good news today. Maybe that’s why I’m kinda happier than usual. It’s prolly gona make up for the shittiness I’ve been feeling lately. So after isolating myself from the whole world (well not rilly), I think I’m ready to come back.

It would be quite interesting to watch my life and see it in a different perspective. I bet I could easily see everything that I'm doing wrong and realize how much I need to change a lot of things. Or maybe jus do things differently.
But I'm sure it'll be super fun to watch denny's nights or just time with my immacers. We're too cute huh? Haha.
Cramtoime will always be the best distraction I'll ever need. I think. Nyaha.
I'm fine. I'm rilly okai. Foreal. No worries. I'll be back I swear. I jus need to breathe and chillax. I'm jus here.
