Chill Saturdays

This Saturday better be chill. I sure need time to study for my Physio's review chem test. Does that sound familiar?

Let's go Warriors!

So I went to my very first Golden State Warriors game, and we lost. I swear I'm not bad luck, it was Jeremy and Gio's first time as well! We lost to the last league in the division, how sad. Went in with scalped tickets at the very tip-top, but moved out way down to lower level... score. I really enjoyed myself. I must do it again!

Good days.

Saturday: Good Day.

I unfortunately had work, and I unfortunately had to lie to get out of it. Yes, yes, I know my readers whom I go to church with will be disappointed. I was totally going to ask Welle to work, but I forgot and by that time, I had work. So I lied. Shame on me. So sorry Tito Tonet, Tito Ron. I finished what needed to be done though?

What makes this day a good day?
1. I got in 3 hours of work.
2. I drove downtown to Macy's all by myself to James Lafferty.
3. I watched Juno.
4. I watched Cloverfield.

Work wasn't that bad. Made a few phone calls, plus there was only one doctor so it wasn't too busy. James Lafferty was hot, he did have pimples from which I recall seeing in season 1. To those of you who do not know who James Lafferty is, he is a star on CW's One Tree Hill who plays Nathan Scott. He's my favorite, and he's hot! He's probably the only one in the cast that I would have gone to meet.

So that brings me to my story of why I went alone. I was supposed to go with Marisol. She didn't answer earlier. Then I called Regina, and she couldn't go. Tiff, another OTH fan, couldn't go. So I went by myself. Iwas surrounded by bops. ALL AROUND ME! I felt so old, but I looked like them, which I guess didn't help. So I came at around 1 PM. They said that they had given out the 300 wristbands to people already and that people in line without them would have a slim chance. So I went to the stage, was in the back then more people came, making me in the middle, then it was like a concert where I got moved to the very front. Tell me how, I don't know?! Anyways, I took a good amount of pictures, and I heard they were allowing people in line with the wristbands, and I took my chance. And I ended up getting an autograph and a hand shake. [I might add that he was not sweaty, nor clammy, which is totally hot!]. That was a good afternoon.

Getting home, I got scared my parents were going to find out the truth and scold me, but I left before they got home. Because Josh, Jess and Jeremy picked me up. We bought sandwiches at Safeway, then headed to Century. As Josh and Jeremy waited in line for Cloverfield, Jess and I watched Juno. After that cuteness party ended, we entered Cloverfield just as it started. It was really on the edge of your seat because you don't know what to expect. However, the camera was a bit shaky, it was okay though. It was like -in the words of Jessica- Blair Witch Project meets Godzilla meets Independence Day meets War of the Worlds. It was good. I think that people didn't like it because it was more like a personal documentation rather than an actual story. I was surprised that it didn't suck balls!

"Heeyyy..."

I only get hollered at by black guys or F.O.B.'s. I feel so unworthy.

Why don't the hot haolies try to get at me?

Uh-oh. This has to be NO BUENO!

I turned on my laptop and I saw it give off a little smoke. Then it smelled like smoke. I just browsed a bit, but now I'm scared. Need to take this bad boy to the Geek Squad, hopefully, on Thursday.

Leo. Oh Leo.

Upon looking through my official Titanic book, singing Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On," and looking for the song + dialogue -like the one on the radio many years ago- inspired me to pop in the double Titanic VHS that I had.

Although it may have been grainy, the movie was still the same. Passionate in every way! Leo is still HAWT. Kate is still awesome. The ship still sinks. And the old woman drops the diamond in the ocean.

Gosh, this is only movie that I can actually say that I watched 3 times in the theaters. Gosh it's so good!

By the way, this movie came out when I was 10, so that means that it's practically 11 years old. Holy Mackrel!

5th Grade Status.

Friday afternoon, I walked to Gio's school to pick him up. It's only about 3-4 blocks from my house. While I was walking, I pass the bus stop right next to Alta Loma Middle school and there are three boys standing there, in their school uniforms. It seemed odd because Alta Loma has not been let out yet at that time of day. Ayways, I keep walking carrying a basketball in my arms so Gio could practice on the way home.

As Gio, Gio's friend, and I are walking back towards my house, one of those middle schoolers - the one who looks like he's in 6th grade - asks me if I am in 5th grade. "No!" was my automatic response. Then I wondered if my not-wearing-any-make-up gave that impression, plus the fact that I was wearing a backpack. Or maybe the lil' kid was trying to holler, but making sure I wasn't a youngin because I swear he saw me pass him 10 mins before. Whatever, apparently I am 5th grade status!

Goodbye 07... HELLO 2008!

Well, it has been nearly a week since the New Year's, and I must say that the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008 has been look good. After my stupid and last final in physio, the cantata occured and it seemed very successful. Good message and great performance. I might add a high five for my brother and I for not making ANY mistake in our lines!

After that was over, I hung out with the youth and did the whole TapEx thing and bowling, of course. And after that, I basically just got ready for Christmas Eve, with a little shopping with the rents. Grandma has spent Christmas with us, which was not usual. Christmas eve was spent as a night to open presents at home, dinner and a devotional. Christmas day, I went to church and got the house and presents ready for my mom's side to come over. It was mighty with not too much gluttony. I was happy to spend time with all my cousins.



Then I had spent some time with my boy cousins on my dad's side. Going downtown and watching people ice skate while our butts were freezing off. Giving directions to a lost Giornel who did not know how to get out of Bloomingdale's while circling Metreon with 9 peopl in a minivan. I had totally forgotten about my Christmas party with my high school friends. It was a bit last minute but we pulled it off!



After that, I was quite happy that I got the spend my last weekend in 2007 with my Seisa Cousins up in Auburn. And although we did not go snowboarding, our white elephant, numerous hours playing Rock Band, sleep starting at 5 AM, and eating at Lucille's made it all worthwhile.






That New Year's Eve, I traveled back down to San Francisco to spend the countdown with my family and church friends. Going home to eat cremepuffs with Tito Ron and Tita Alice.
It sure was a great end of the year. Hopefully this year, 2008, will have much more memories to come!

PS: I think my last favorite memory of 2007 was when every cousin from Josh to Amethyst, came together and slept altogether in the living room of Jess' house. It truly felt like I was 7 years old again.
