Tuesdays, the new Fridays.

And this is the reason why...



Blurry? I know, but its the only good pic I could manage after me and Mike waited for like 45 min for those things. Oh the sweet taste of Honey BBQ. After grabbing a bite to eat Mike and I decided to head back to his place and own it up in some Call of Duty 4. This pic makes our pwnage appear calm, but trust... it wasn't.



So with tomorrow coming my way, it's another day of school and week 2 of Confirmation. Classes seem easy and my small group is chill. Off to the land of slumber. G'nite Y'all.

Apple juice is good. (Guest Appearance by Dom)

Yes. It is. Anyways, the fair was a nice treat yesterday after experiencing the first day of my college career (my last post lol). So we arrived to the fair as dusk was slowly approaching, breathing in the atmosphere, and looking at the stupidly over-priced food. The afternoon started off with one of William's friends making a basket to win a penguin of his, but later made it's way to the food and I ate the best polish dog ever. Sauerkraut, onions, the works... After walking around for a little my dad makes a mission to find funnel cakes, and about 10 steps later, we found it lol. Funnel cake pwns by the way. Night came along and bright lights came shining down as we journeyed through the packed walkways, obnoxious customers, and annoying salesmen until we came to a ring-toss type game. Anyways, we used our last tickets on this game cause we wanted to get our moneys worth, and we were given a tray-full of rings to toss and try to make it upon a coke bottle. Kwok, William's friend, took one and said, "Just one lang". He threw it and "OHHHHHH!" he won the freaking huge parrot that you see in the picture up there ^^^ and now just sits in the closet at my dad's. That made our night cause after that we couldn't stop laughing about it and that was pretty much my night...

So Dom was supposed to say stuff here but he's now leaving for his house lol nvm he's thinking about it now... and hugging me g'bye haha.

LOL so i get a knock one more time and Dom's there... looking confused and slightly pissed, he says, "Did i leave me keys here? Or in Derek's car?" hahahaha keep in mind Derek left about an hour ago.

So now he's here thinking what to do.

Hello. (This is Dom) Yea...soo...it's confirmed. they're in Derek's car...i haven't told him that yet. i probably should. i don't know how to get home. haha. uhmm...Karl is pooping. I just called Derek back and uh...told him. haha. You can tell that im the one writing now just cuz of the way I type. I just thought I'd point that out even though you probably already know that. So yea...need a ride home... (It's 12:17am, and you are loved.)

K so.. (Karl) I think ima just take Dom to Derek's then come back here for him to get his car. I LOOOOOVE KARL! (Dom)

haha what an interesting night. G'nite Yall.

5 More Minutes Mom...

... Actually, no more Mom cause I'm a college boy now :D My first day of school wasn't as bad as i thought it'd be. I saw a few ppl from high school and I made a new friend lol. Tony's the name, and we have 2 of the same classes together! Crazy right? The classes feel a lot like high school to me, but Dom said that it's just cause I'm in freshman classes. Hopefully the vibe changes as my upper div classes come by. I have some homework already but the load isn't too bad. Back to school on Monday.

Excited? Yes.
Nervous? Yes.
Ready? We'll find out [:

Old < New

Old: 1995 Toyota Tacoma


New: 2004 Chevy Malibu (Mom's old car lol)

Ima miss the couch tho, its been fun.

And then there were...

I can't help but feeling like everyone's moving on with their lives and im stuck. Not only are they moving away, but i feel like they all know what they're doing with their lives, and I don't. It's like im a step behind, like when you see those epic battles in movies, the leader is saying some uplifting, amazing speech, getting you ready for battle and I'm all the way in the back not able to hear a word...

So I said goodbye to three of my good friends this weekend and I really doubt they know how much I'll miss them. They all have big things ahead of them and I can only hope to be half as successful they'll be.

Predictions (For the Class of '08):
- Derek: Doctor/ Orthodontist/ Movie Star (all in one) lol. I pictured him starting his own practice with another hella smart asian dentist/doctor, that is if he's not starring in a movie.
- Joanna: Lawyer, definately. Becoming a part of some huge law firm, arguing and pushing her way to the top.
- James: Hmm.. I'm not exactly sure. I remember him saying that if he hadn't decided by his second year then he'd go into Dentistry. Maybe he's that hella smart asian I pictured starting his own practice with Derek haha. But other than that he's an amazing writer, that'll get him somewhere forsure.
- As for Myself?: I have NO idea lol. All i know is that im a people person, and talking with Mae tonight helped. I'm leaning towards communications as my major. What am I gunna do with that? I don't know either haha. But hey, it's a start.

So to the kids that have left this suburbia we call Rancho: Good luck. Stay focused. And thank you. You guys have changed and influenced my life in ways you could've never imagined.

A very interesting day today... i woke up to Derek's call of "We're supposed to be at St. Joes right now." haha so i got ready in about 15 and headed down there only to find an itchy bay secretary who would only let us in at lunch hours (it was 10:30). Time passed and we didn't want our trip down there to go to waste so we jumped the fence in hopes of not getting caught lol. We didn't, but the run to our old class was hilarious. A couple knocks on our old homeroom door and there stood our 8th grade mentor, Mr. B, still standing 5'6'' with the birthmark that made him famous. Nice catching up with the guy but somehow i think he favored Derek in going to UCSD. I mean I know Cal Poly's not that prestigious but damn. lol

We ended our conversation on a good note like always and i look foward to the next time i get to see that guy. So Derek and I left and I went to go pick up Dom for the moving-ness of Eileen's things. Later to find out that he had to pick up his siblings from school lol. We grabbed Ria and Cameron from school and I learned that Ria is allergic to perfumes/ colognes/ scented lotions, or anything of the sort lol. I'm still sorry Ria :D

Arriving to the Romulo house to a matress, bedstand, and desk, which all surprisingly fit in the back lol. We journeyed to Riverside to drop off her things and headed to Home Depot to get the fridge. Spent like 2 hours there lol so I practiced the YES dance while creating the illusion that I was gay to everyone in the store lol. Finally got the fridge and headed back to the apartment. That thing was freaking heavy and her tita was the funniest thing trying to move it. Fridge was up the stairs and happiness rained upon us all. We chilled and spent our last hour there playing a nice game of Killer Bunnies. (Dominic victorious)

We headed back to Rancho with Dom, Eileen, and a tired truck lol. Dropped off Dom and headed to the Romulos to chill. Saw Errol and ate tater wedges with chicken. Toasted's better. Gaston came and we put on mud masks haha. Gay? Yes. Another game of Killer Bunnies, Call of Duty, dropped off Derek, and headed home.

Man ima miss that fool. But im saving that for another blog... lol. Oh yeah and no pics today... even tho this blog prolly coulda had like 50 lol.

G'nite Y'all. Peace.

The Difference Between Wants and Needs...

Big, yes. But i doubt all of us realize it and instead take it for granted. As stated by Jeremy "Passion" Manongdo, "too many times in our lives, did we take things for granted, I don't understand it", we as human beings don't always acknowledge all of the nice, pleasantful things in our lives. Still don't know what im talking about? For example...

WANTS



It's things like these that sometimes blur our vision to what really matters.

NEEDS



I had no idea I'd make such a big blog out of simply wanting a new camera. haha

G'nite y'all

Go Shawwty, Iss Ya Birrfday...

So the it's finally here, the day I'm legally allowed to buy a lotto tickets and cigarettes, when I start dreading jury duty, finally being able to go clubbing, but also the day I become an "adult". Even tho the endless talks with my Mom become old and the endless amount credit card offers I get from every company possible stuff the mailbox, I still don't feel that different. Maybe the kid inside will stay for a while...

So another year of my life has passed and I've acquired more knowledge, responsibility, and surprisingly confidence than i could've ever imagined but for some reason I still don't feel ready for the new chapter ahead of me.

But onto a different note, I just wanted to thank everyone who made this birthday weekend of mine AMAZING. Starting with the pointless drama on Friday, to the incredible gift and words of advice my Mom and Leo gave me, I just wanted to say, thanks.

Oh, and Happy Birthday Karl [:

Bike Excursion #2

Dang, I just realized how far we went today haha. So we started by heading up to Osos to check out the Crunk Village practice and left soon after to head up Day Creek to visit some old friends but stopped to admire the intelligence of this...



Oh, and its for sale haha.



No one was home today I swear... but we decided to go to all of their houses anyways. We only saw Nikko and his friend chillin, after hoping to have seen like 10 ppl by this point haha. So we rode all the way to Kevin's place and randomly decided to make the journey to the Aquino house. We arrived to Jeff and Jon's mission to create the perfect file in Final Fantasy VIII, but later failed due to lag lol. But i did manage to get this cute picture of Sushi...



The REAL excursion began after we left cause it was all uphill from there. But surprisingly enough, it wasn't that bad at all, until I got home and realized that I forgot my keys inside -__-. So we chilled, waited for my mom to get home, and at about 6:24PM she arrived.



I'm tired. G'nite ya'll.

Newest Confirmation Teachers.

Guess who's teaching this years Confirmation 2 students? Yes sir. Muahaha, time for Confirmation with a serving of Eggrolls and Karlsauce. But more importantly, its a time to help the adolescents of today learn what it truly means to be "Catholic", and heck, maybe I could learn a few things myself.

Chillin With Hailey.

For those of you that don't know, Hailey's my bike. Yes, i named my bike Hailey. So i started off the day just like any other, bored and lazy, when i decided to take Hailey for a ride (no pun intended). And so my journey began...



The heat wasn't that bad this time, but i laughed when i ran into this...



After some more pedaling i took a little pit stop for some water and found myself talking to this guy...



The ride after chillin with snoop was the hardest part, and it wasn't even that bad. So I hit Manzanita and decided to visit Dom. I found him cleaning his laptop...



... but after decided to cook lumpia, but while he was making them i noticed a slight defect in the size so i decided to make a few renovations of my own.



So we chilled, ate our lumpia, and watched Russell Peters talk about stuff that gave me a laugh that i havent laughed in a while. But after the ride home wasn't bad at all. I gave Mae a ride home from school, got some Yogoo, headed to work, and here I am blogging.

Just another summer day...

what up tho?
