  • Not Falling Apart

    So I need to start using this Xanga again. Either that or start making my entries public haha.

    I'm gonna need some space to gather my thoughts again. I wish I had my own Pensieve but life isn't fair. Considering getting a tumblr site but I thought you were only supposed to post up pictures on that? Or maybe I should hop over to Live Journal? Or create my own domain? Hmm, I don't know?

    I really am at a loss for words these days.

    I wish I knew what I was doing.

  • Bye Bye, San Diego

    This weekend was incredibly fun & expectantly short. *siiigh* But I had a lot of fun so I'm glad I came. Just wrapping up a few minutes til I start repacking again & then I think I'll be taking Route 30 to downtown SD (which takes over an hour ughh) & my train arrives around 11 or 12. I have to recheck lol. There will definitely be a follow up blog soon enough -- hopefully with pictures! Yay pictures! Or photos, w/e.

    Yeeeeeaah. I'm tired.

  • Hola Vatos!

    So Zoot Suit was everything I expected it to be & more. I sincerely loved it! Auntie & Tito Bert did too. I was freaking out a little bit at first, cause in the beginning the introductory character, "El Pachuco", was all talking in Spanish & I thought that's how the rest of the play would be haha. But no, not really. It was all English, with snippets of Caló blended in here & there. I thought everything about it was genius. The music, the set pieces, the actors, the costumes, were all on point. I got a few good ideas from the play to use for Halloween, but I'm still unsure.. Jenssy was great though! I'm really glad I saw it. Even though she didn't get to meet my folks (cause they were already at the parking lot), I thought it was cool of her to have us meet up, if only for 5 minutes, since they had to go change & unload all the junk. I met her fiancé! I was starstruck a little bit, since he was the guy who played "Henry Reyna" in the play & all. He seems really cool. I thinkVictor & Jenssy make a cute couple.  But ohmygoodness, how awkward would it be to play a girl who's already married in the play & watch your boo in real life get engaged & kiss two women, one right in front of you! Ahhh I don't know. I would feel so uncomfortable. lol. I was never destined for the big time.

    I've been having such a lazy weekend, but a good one nonetheless. I think after I get back home from church I'll... start homework, I guess. haha. Idk though, if I were to not touch my school stuff whatsoever when I get back, it wouldn't really make a difference tomorrow since I never have any actual homework due. Most of my homework consists of readings & annotations. The rest goes to random Women's Studies assignments & Chinese calligraphy worksheets, but I actually like my Chinese class so it ain't no thang. This semester is soo easy I swear. I know next sem I'm gonna eat my words though. Silly me for not taking my foundation classes first. Stupid me for signing up for the last orientation lol.  I guess it's alright now, since I feel like I gotta handle on most shit going on. Like getting Financial Aid, for one. Seriously though, what. a. relief! I'm covered for this sem & Spring '09 & I'm hoping things will stay constant from now til next year. Auntie says we *must* be vigilant about FAFSA stuffs next year, meaning I'll prolly apply while I'm at home for break, which isn't so bad since all my folks will be there to get me the info asap. I don't wanna take any chances though on the money issue. I need to be freakin vigilant right NOW so I won't worry next time around, like I did when I first applied. I really, really wanna apply for at least 5 scholarships before I head home for the hollerdays. Sign up for giveaways & college drawings. There's so much out there I can do to get that ca$h. Haha can we say bonafied hustler or wha? I'm already starting to spend my Pell Grant money, which is worrying me a tad bit. Like, shoot, I'm gonna pay freakin $42 for a one-way ticket to San Diego via AmTrak? For a one weekend surf tourney??? Ehh... I really wanna be cheap here, but it's so hard sometimes.. it's so tempting *not* to be lol!

    I feel slightly better about things though, since Halloween plans are a little "in the air" now. I'm not all too devastated about it. Maybe it just hasn't sunk in yet. Oh well, what can you do about bad timing? Michelle's got her fam's wedding plans & now, me, with my auntie's friend's kid's birthday plans. Oh I know why I'm not all that upset now. The girl's turning 4 but she's having her birthday at a roller skating rink! Can we say YEAAAH?!!1?1!*Abercrombie* AHHHH I'm sooo excited!! I haven't been to a roller rink in for-freakin-ever! I'm happy, I'm happy! I just need to find a college buddy to chill with there, cause I don't think the 4 year olds would lol. & asking my auntie to skate is totally out of the question. Hmm.. maybe Karyn? Marielle? Idk. We'll see. Now that just leaves the issue of what to do on the actual day of Halloween. Ugh. Idk Idk Idk. I-D-K. I don't even know what to *be* yet! I'm sad.. There's been some stuff floating around campus, a club opening here, a theme park day there. I'd love to hit all of them up. But I still wish I could go to Santa Barbara. I don't see the point in going anymore though, especially if I won't have a definite ride (Michelle) & if I can't sleep over at the UCSB dorms. Faaack. I'm at a bit of a loss right now. & I mostly wanted to go to SB because Lani's birthday is on Nov. 2nd.  It would've been the *perfect* weekend. Hmm.. maybe there's a chance of her meeting me up at Cerritos where the birthday party's at? Haha. Most definitely though, I'd like to take her somewhere, sometime in the near future. Maybe not that weekend but the next?

    For now, though, my indefinite Halloween plans might be 1) clubbing at Pine St. on the 25th, 2) going to Universal Studios, or 3) going to Knott's Berry Farm. If I had to pick one right now I'd go for Universal Studios, just cause, I haven't been there in a looong while & I hear their park has the best scary visuals, considering it's a movie park & all. Sure I'll be scared shitless, but hey.. it's Halloween.

    Countdown to San Diego: 5 days!!! I *need* to pack!

    One more thing...

    "Something's. not. sitting right."
    "Gayer."
    "SOMEthing's. noOOOot. sitting. riiIIIGHT!!!111!!!oneone!!!eleven!!"
    "Carry on."

  • Officially the First

    Yay! This is exciting. I'm not used to this, what with all the new apps put on xanga & stuffs. I look at it all at once & I get a headache. But eh whatever, that's 2008 for ya. Anyways! I had a lot I wanted to bring up today, but I kind of forgot as my day went on haha. I wanted to put down 3 funny things that happened, but I can only remember 2.  Well as for the top 2 things, here it is *sigh* lol: 1) When I was on the bus today, I sat down next to this kid who was kind of half asleep. At one point he got so sleepy he fell asleep on my shoulder lolol. It was so cute, his mom & I just had to exchange a smile right there. 2) I was passing by this truck with the fatty monster truck wheels on the way home. When I looked at the license plate it read "NIICCEE". HAHAH, stewpid. I lol'd & *rolls eyes*'d at the same time!

    Kay on to the slightly serious stuff..

    I signed up for a video rental account at Hollywood Video. Woohoo! I didn't get my freakin card today though. Fahhuck. They ran out. So I guess I have to keep checking every so often until they get some. I only made an account so I could rent this one movie, Whale Rider, for my Folklore & Mythology class (which is, btw, the effin shiiiet). I loved it. It was exactly as Ray depicted it to be -- beautiful. Movies dominated by nature-y scenes always get to me.  It was too bad though that the convo my auntie & I were having about the deeper meaning of the movie *had* to leak into politics talk & whenever we go down that alley it always gets... bad. Ai-yah! I was gonna lose her to McCain no matter what I'd say. I mean how can you even sit through that whole debate & cheer for all the bullshit crap he's saying? GAD.

    Anyway.. I don't really care at this point who's she's voting for anymore so it doesn't really matter. I just hate that I was kinda wrong about why I wanted to come here, to Long Beach. One of the reasons was because I thought she was ehh.. cool. Well better than my folks at home anyway, in terms of communication. We hella TALK & shit y'know? I've never had that growing up. We debate & whatnot. I just hate that when she gets all built up about something she feels really passionate about, somehow I end up getting the shaft cause Idk.. I'm young & I haven't "experienced" as much as she has. Bu shi. What's the point of debating when you're trying to explain your side & she's getting mad at you for making her *understand* something, as if I'm not supposed to? WTF is that??? Doesn't mean I think she's dumb. She's totally implying that I'm implying that though. Eh.

    It all blows over eventually. I just can't wait for the weekend to start cause I'm gonna watch Zoot Suit at East LA College with my auntie & one of her fam friends (maybe Tito Bert?). Oh oh, & next weekend, surf team tourney vs. Tritons at San Diego! Hellz Yah!  I miss Esther lots & lots.

    I wonder when Australia comes out? Hmm...

    EDIT OCT08 4:47PM

    Ahhh I remembered my #3!!! I felt really good about knowing how to give directions to this random family trying to find their way to Disneyland. Uhh, a little ways off there lol. Maybe most people out there know all their cardinal directions but I sure as hell didn't when I was in the Bay xD I'm *sure* I put those innocent people in the right direction. ehehe.
