It's funny how I moved around a lot when I was young. Even now, I'm still pretty much traveling back and forth between my apartment and my parents' house. Here, at my cousin's house in Washington, I know what and where every room is. I surprised myself when I walked through the dark and moved around furniture I knew was there. Even more surprising was when I knew where the creaks in floor boards were so I could avoid them while I went to the bathroom at night or went to bed late, just so I wouldn't wake anyone. This house is so familiar to me, and what's odd is that I remember almost growing up here--just bits and pieces of my childhood.
I guess it's kinda weird because I don't stay in one house for very long. We have yet to move into a permanent house. But the familiarity when I see the house as we drive up to it is kinda nice because I remember walking up to it as an early teen and here I am, still walking up to it and greeting my cousins. It's just nice having something familiar that hasn't changed, but changes during life at the same time. ^^ |

so i've been working on my paper for a week, and guess how many pages i've done so far. no, go on, guess. NONE. i'm so stuck, it's like the worst block i've gotten since... well... it's kinda my first block since ci started college. i have no idea what the hell i'm writing, and i've been staring at these pages forever. it doesn't help that i easily get distracted since i know this is supposed to be my thanksgiving break. X_X ugggh...
of course, i should stop complaining and get back to work. -BLOCK-
i really don't know what the hell i'm doing... and i'm supposed to be a pro english major in her senior year -_- |

i like how the eldest of my nieces just comes in here and does whatever she wants. someone needs to sit down and tell her straight that she has to respect our house. this is what happened:
when she comes over, she's always on the downstairs computer. she was on it for hours upon hours when she suddenly stopped. we asked her why she wasn't using the computer (because she was bugging me) and she didn't say anything. it turns out that there was something wrong with the computer-- and it wasn't hers to begin with! and i just came back from daly city and i wanted to use the computer. it turns out, audrey just clicks and clicks away at stuff (she's 9) with no regard to ronald's warning about not downloading stuff. now, there are VIRUSES in the computer that won't even let me open up windows. BAH.
she also put a password protect by accident on nickelodeon, so she can't even watch her shows anymore. mwuaha. next time she comes, i'ma sit her on the couch and have a long diciplinary talk with her. and i don't care if she's someone else's child.
now i have to sit here for a few hours trying to get the viruses out and the computer up and running again. |

when i was a junior in high school, my world revolved around one niece and one nephew, kyle and kelly. And it was like that for a few years, until about a year or two ago, nieces and nephews started to flood into my life. @_@ some of them came from the Philippines, and the rest were born @_@
How the HELL do I keep them all happy? I haven't gotten there yet >< My mom bought coloring books and activity books and whatever, but instead of my mom's ideal imagination (the kids gather around, laughing and enjoying their own activity book) it was CHAOS. When something was done, they would go to my room, where the rest of the shit was stashed, and make a MESS trying to find something they wanted. Oh and they messed up my bed *_*
Then the kids were fighting over the computer, some wanted something to do, and if nothing was done, they would go into my room to find more of the coloring books >< So I decided to take the kids out to the park. Some of them were not allowed to go, and that left some space for them on the computer. The rest of the kids I took out so that the house would be less chaotic. I will tell you, when I saw them running around in a big, open space where they couldn't wreck anything, it was like releasing wild animals back to their natural habitat. I felt a big burden lifted from my shoulders, and I think that was the best part of my day XD
kyle didn't have a sweater, and the rest of the kids did, so we stopped by my car to get a sweater for him and myself. I had two sweaters in my car, and I gave the smallest one to kyle XD he looked so cute lolol. And when I looked at Kelly, she only had a thin long sleeve sweater, and she was cold, so I let her use the other one. And I was left without nothing, except my tank top during a cold day in the summer @_@ I'm actually feeling the sniffles right now, but it's okay.
Back home, though, the chaos returned, and I wished I could have let them stay at the park longer. I guess their parents didn't do anything to try and stifle them at home because they knew I would somehow @_@ But I was coloring with another niece with one of those markers that don't write on anything but special paper, and it slowly appears as the ink dries. She colored with one of those, and she was completely AMAZED. She was so amazed, that she hugged me ^^
phew, I'm exhausted, but I don't want to sleep yet. But I realized that 1) we need a bigger house 2) I am not contributing to the child chaos in my family, unless the kids grew up and there's space for a new toddler @_@ and 3) I am so not looking forward to motherhood at this point in my life XD |

i finally got a vacation! well for two weeks anyway =P omg i spent so much on things i didn't need @_@ we went to six flags with the extended family and nieces and nephews. i was constantly spinning my head around so i could see where all the kids were. eventually, they all went to watch a killer whale do tricks, but i opted out. john paul happened to want to stick to, so we went to the tazmanian devil ride. it didn't look so bad on the ground, even when we started moving it wasn't so bad.
then again, that's how all rides are @_@
it just so happens that the ride not only swings back and forth higher, but when it spins, it's faster than it seems! omg, i was screaming when we dropped! the only scream i could hear was mine (i didn't hear john screaming at all ><) but the guy next to him was swearing in spanish! roughly translated by john, he was saying something like, "Omg, omg, am i okay?!" and then some more swearing. hahahaha! that made my day. after we got off tho, i was hella dizzy, and john and i got headaches the rest of the day.
so! after that, we had lunch when the family got back together. john and i went on the water ride with just us at first, then we went with ingo's sons. it was pretty cool cuz we got soaked pretty bad! more than the rides at great america =P
when we went souvenir shopping, i was looking for something that i could give kevin, since i promised i would get him something. he wanted it to be cheap =P knowing how nerdy we are, i went to the super hero shop. i was looking around for a while, and i thought of getting him a batman mousepad (cheap and practical!) but when i searched around more, i felt the jewelry section calling to me. when i went around it, i found the perfect souvenir: a green lantern ring. i had visions of kevin going around and pretending to be green lantern @_@ oi... i bought it anyway, knowing that he'd love it. and hey, it's in the form of a ring! =D
when i gave it to him, he did as i suspected: he played around with it. but it looks damn good on someone's hand rather than a package, i must say. he even did a "pew-pew" at ronald and hazel @_@ all in all, a good day's play =D |

wow it has been a while since i wrote anything here! i guess when i wasn't doing homework, i was busy being lazy =P
i went to monterey bay aquarium with kevin yesterday, and it closed at 6 =( i thought we had more time than that, but we only stayed there for 2 hours. we only got to see the jellyfish, otters and kelp. (and we did some shopping XD) i had to rush since i was doing a paper on the kelp. but i want to go back there and just relax and have time to read the stuff written on the walls (which kevin wanted to do but i was rushing) and look at the exhibits. it's not as depressing as the gorillas at the zoo ><
i just want to go on a trip somewhere and just be able to relax without thinking about work or homework or school or family drama... agghhh XO going to monterey bay made me realize how much i wanted to take a week off and go on a trip and just stare at things lol |

i woke up at 8 in the morning to finish my essay before catching the bus at 9:50. Then I ran to the bus stop, and barely make it with my money in my hands, and I thought I was just in time for class at 10:10. And when I get to class, it was empty. And then I realized, as I settled in a chair in the library, the class didn't start until 11:00. Damn. I could have slept more. |

yes, here i am again, waiting to catch the bus before i go to class. isn't it weird that i always do this when i wait for class to start?
i've just noticed that music is a big part of my life, even before choir back in high school (but i think choir really brought it out in me). i remember when i was a freshman, i thought it would be cool to have music playing from nowhere while i walked from class to class (kinda like a movie), and i would compile a playlist in my head about what music would play while i was going in between classes, and what music would play during breaks. hahaha, ah good times! ...with myself ><
there are times when i feel like a really good song will sink into my soul while i listen. and i don't know if anyone else does this, but i always remember one significant line from every song that makes me go "ooo!" either that or i know the lyrics to the songs and i just pick one out to put in my profile or whatnot, hahaha. i noticed that i play music everywhere! when i get up in the morning, i play a playlist on my computer, or when i drive or when i take the bus (c'mon, it's SF! XD) or while i do homework or while i'm typing something up, or while i'm talking. it's just weird. maybe the movies made me get used to it by having those scenes where people are talking or doing something and there's music that's parallel to that @_@
okay, thinking too much before class, mwuahaha. i think i'll just sit and listen for now... |

so kevin and i went to ikea the other day so i could pick up a small sidetable for all the junk in my room, and we went to the showroom instead of straight to the marketplace. as we looked around the lovely rooms, i noticed a few things. 1) the room is not messy at all 2) they got some good organizing going on 3)they managed to make a comfy living space in a room that is smaller than my living room!
i thought it would be great if i could design one of the rooms, since all the supplies would be there and there is a space where you could just put stuff together and admire it. i can't do much with my room in the apartment, and not with the current condo either, at least not until my parents find a house and we move out again. but i mean, you can' really poke holes in the wall in my apartment, at least not so much that the deposit would come back less than what we put in. if i could do whatever i wanted with the my room, it would be blue (of course) and i would use the wall space to its maximum! i want a few floating shelves up in there XD
but of course i'm restraining myself until my parents get a house this year. i hope it's this year because i don't want to be stuck in this condo where i can't have pets >< (the girls looks so cute when they snuggle up and take a nap! ^^) until then, the only thing i can do as of now is just use those command strips to put up picture frames =P |

the last time i came home, kyle and kelly were waiting for me, and when i got to the living room, they just charged at me, waiting for me to lift them. This makes me think about how things would have been different if i went farther away for college. i'm already thinking about where to go for my master's. i don't want to go to far from home because i still want to be able to drive home and not get tired of driving. i mean, my preference for driving time is usually the length of my CD, unless we're going somewhere where i don't know the road.
i guess i can't sit around in a car too long. well, sitting around is different, but driving, stretching one leg out and pumping gas, is different.
ANYWAY! HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!! |

me love the rain! except for the fact that the bottom of my pants get wet. i even bought an ubrella with char today at the bookstore, which kevin commented "aww, what a cute couple!" poo on him XD
although there was this one incident where i was sitting in the library doing homework. i was sniffling for about 2 hours, and the woman in front of me was all "hey, can you not do that?" and i was all, "what, this?" and i rocked my chair and it made squeaky noises. and she rolled her eyes at me and was all saying something about being on the same page for hours and even using ear plugs. i was all "i can't help it" and she was all something about using tissues.
well, for this bitch i kept shifting in my chair so that it squeaked, and i kept thumping my foot on the ground so that the table moved. then i zipped and rezipped my back pack, stood up and put my backpack lightly on the table, which toppled over, i sniffled (mwuaha...) and zipped up my jacket, and tucked the chair in, which bumped the table.
man, where did the bitch in me come from?! XD |

i just had a lightning shock thought: we're going to either heaven or hell, or in a non-religious sense, we're not going to be in the physical present when we die. either way, we won't be in this same place together or we won't have the same things we have now when that day comes. so we might as well enjoy the present. enjoy each other. enjoy the moments and not have grudges and bitterness. because when that day comes, we won't have the same things we have now, and we won't be able to enjoy each other. so it's better to live life in a positive view. |

mood:  moody

when i was able to get a student loan, i thought that i wouldn't have to keep asking my parents for money, that i would have a limited amount to sustain me for a while- maybe even 2 years! who knows!
but my parents are sneaky! SNEAKY!!! and very last minute!!! i went to deposit the check for my loan in the bank, and my parents told me that they wanted to use some of the money to pay off credit card bills. not MY credit card bills, THEIRS. so that would mean that i wouldn't have as much of the money that was supposed to be used for school for at least a year. this is the money that would cover my books and living expenses. they told me that i could ask them to put more money in the bank, and they would pay me back, i just have to tell them.
WHAT THE FUCK! THE WHOLE POINT IS TO NOT ASK MY PARENTS FOR MONEY ANYMORE!!! i mean if you think about, they can't pay off their bills so they have to use me as an excuse to get money from a private/ government loan that they could use to pay it off. SOMETIMES I DON'T THINK THEY'RE EVEN THINKING ABOUT FUTURE CONSEQUENCES!
so what did i do? what else could i do? i agreed to their scheme. i'll have to save whatever loan i'm able to have left from that for the next few months and get my ass a job and live that way. GOD DAMMIT. it's like having a fat tax in your face! |

so char and i are staying up doing our essays for class, except we keep getting distracted. yeay-ya! i'm actually scrolling around for razr phones. why does verizon get all the sucky phones? like the slvr! dude, that is one sexy beast! except i have a fetish for flip phone mwuahaha... and now verizon's coming out with the krzr. fricking expensive @_@
but i'm content with having my baby on my old samsung phone ^^ it was a year since we met on september 24 or 25... actually, we met face to face on the first day of school, but we were talking a few days before then. i never knew i would find a dork, but i did ask for an angel... some bad-ass turned good and needed me as much as i needed him... and who would quit smoking not just for himself, but for me too ^^
hahaha, it's obvious now that it can be a lot of guys out there that can do that, but there's only so many that are genuinely understanding and can spoil you to the point of no return. yeah, kevin spoils me emotionally :3 hehehe. on that note, i miss my girls, panda and smores. they're so cute, and smores has grown into a the same size as panda in just a few weeks O.O
