SOMETIMES friends really make the difference...
  This weekend was cool just because I got to kick it with friends, and like I said in my past entry Friends really make the difference.... Saturday was the first time I've been to the beach all year. And it was freaking cold and sprinkling!!! What the hell is that!!! That sucks!!! I just chilled and kicked it on the beach with the "LA People" where we ate, played some football, played some volleyball, and just kicked it. I saw some people I haven't seen in a while which is always cool. Happy Birthday, Rianne.
  After beach day I got to kick it with Serena, a good friend, who I haven't seen in a while along with some old school "CBC" people. Serena was down because a friend was getting married here in Irvine. Tommy, Cile, Nicole, James, Serena, and I went to Dave and Busters to just kick it. We went there because the wedding party went there after the wedding. It was cool and kick back.
  Why is it that when I'm out with some friends I have a good time and when I'm out with other friends its just "eh"? Is it the friends I'm with? or is it me when I'm with those friends? Do I act differently when I'm with this group of friends than when I'm with that group of friends? I don't know. And there is this one friend who is a great friend but just for some reason annoys the hell out of me. I like kicking it with this person but they always start annoying me after a while, especially when that person is drunk. Why is that?
  So during the past week I found out that 2 of my good friends have just gotten engaged!!! I found out about one of them because she told me in person and I got to see the big ass ring and I got to congratulate her and everything. I was kinda expecting it and I wasn't really surprised but just really happy for her. Don't worry. I won't say who you are because you asked me not to. I found out that the other friend got engaged by word of mouth. I had no idea at all and it just caught me off guard. I didn't get to congratuate her or give her a hug or see her ring to know if she really is getting engaged. In fact, I don't even know if this is true...But anyways. Congratuations to both of you!!! You know who you are!!! I'm truly happy for both of you.
  So the guys of 161 Hearthstone are moving out this weekend. Their last day is on Monday. That just freaking sucks!!! Having John John, Kenny, Sherwin, Jon, Jevon, Alfred, adn then Gee, and Jovan across the way was one of the reasons I loved living at my place. It was kinda like the dorms where if you were bored at your place you'd just walk across the way and see what they were up to. And usually, they were up to the same thing that you were up to...which was nothing. But like I said before. Friends make all the difference and just kicking it doing nothing at all is cool as long as you're with good friends. Now I can't do this at all. Dammit! What am I gonna do when I'm freaking bored? Probably stay freaking bored. Great.
  You know what pisses me off? When you go to the drive thru and you pay for your food with a $20 but then they give you change like you gave them a $10 instead? Then they argue with you and ask you, "are you sure you gave me a $20?". YEAH i'm freaking sure!!! Don't freaking try to steal an extra $10 or so by casting some doubt in my mind! I know I gave you a freaking $20 because all I had in my pocket were $20's and a $5 and I couldn't pay with a $5 because it costs more than $5 dammit!!! I hate it. Freaking go back to school and learn to subtract.

Friends really make the difference...
  You know what? Having lunch with friends makes lunch so much better. I usually go home for lunch and just eat and watch some TV and then go back to work but for the past couple days I went to lunch with friends. I know its just eating and just talking but its a lot better than just sitting at home watching TV.

  Yesterday was the first Kaba meeting of the year. How do I know this? Ok, I admit it...I actually went. I swore that last year was the last time I would go to a Kaba meeting. But I can promise you this....this will be the last year I go to a Kaba meeting. This is the last time that I'll actually know anyone in Kaba. But I was actually glad that I went to the meeting this year. Not because of the meeting itself...that made me feel old. I swear that the Freshmen and just college kids in general look freaking young. Did we ever look that young? But the fact that I got to see and kick it with old friends just made the day. The Kaba meeting was there just as an excuse for us all to get together and kick it. I seriously will never get tired of just kicking it at the Pub on campus on the balcony just drinking a couple of pitchers of beer and just chilling with good friends talking about old times, talking about new times, just talking and kicking it. All I have to say about that is....I can't wait until Reggaefest!!! ED!!! ED!!! ED!!! ED!!! ED!!!

WOW!. An new update within 24 hours!!! What in the world??? Cause, I just had a couple thoughts in my mind.


  1. Revolving Sushi is hella good - Revolving Sushi or Cho Cho San (as it said on my check) is this small ass sushi place in Tarzana. Its freaking hella good. I love sushi but I've never had sushi this good. MMMMmmmmmmmm!!!!
  2. I'm a freaking night person - Freaking waking up has to be the hardest thing in the world for me. I love sleep too much to wake up and jump into work and stuff. I think I could hang if I just stay awake...but once I fall asleep it'll be hard waking me up.
  3. Pho is hella good- I go to church with my friend May at noontime and afterwards we always go out to eat lunch. Its a different restaurant each week. This week we went to Pho 99 over on Walnut and Jeffrey in the new 99 Ranch plaza. Mmmmm....I love pho!
  4. Asians can't drive- This is evidenced whenever you go to any freaking Asian Plaza like the 99 Ranch Plaza on Irvine Center Drive and Culver or the 99 Ranch Plaza on Jeffrey and Walnut or all those ones in Carson, Milpitas, etc... There are so many people there but only parking space enough for like 50 cars? What the hell is that?! And the parking spaces are so freaking small!!! I know that Asians are small people but their cars aren't.
  5. My name for my pho restaurant If ever I opened up a Pho restaurant, I would name it Pho King. HA!!!! Get it? Pho King???? HA HA HA HA!!!
  6. MoistThat word still and always will seem sexual to me. Just watch me when someone offers me a "moist toilette"...I'm probably suppressing a laugh.



Ok, the end for now....use the shoutbox for comments...that's what its there for.

So remind me why I got up at 3:00 AM again? Oh yeah...that's right. Today, I started my internship at Irvine Regional Hospital, the one on Sand Canyon. NO its not a doctors internship...all it is is an internship for phlebotomy. What the hell is phlebotomy? Well, its basically sticking a freaking needle into someones vein so that you can take their blood. Interesting? Not really...but hopefully it'll look good on like my resume and stuff if I finally decide to apply to Med School which I've been putting off for like 3 years now. Yah, so I'm up at freaking 4:00 AM taking people's blood...sounds like I'm a freaking vampire, huh? But its all good. Don't you hate when you can't freaking fall asleep and you need the sleep? I tried sleeping at 9:30 but I didn't get to sleep until at least 11:30 or midnight. I freaking hate that...i'm so used to sleeping at midnight or 1:00 AM that trying to sleep any earlier just means me lying in bed until midnight or 1:00 and then falling asleep. You know what else sucks? I'm probably going to be there tomorrow too...so 4:00-9:00 AM at the hospital and then 9:00-5:30 PM at work! HOORAY!!! I love my life!!! BLAH!!! I gotta go to church now....and then I'm freaking gonna sleep all day. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....that sounds so good. I bet you I'm going to fall asleep in church...isn't that bad?

I admit...I was rooting for Vargas because I wanted him to kick De La Hoya's ass because De La Hoya just seemed like a wussy in all the interviews. But now I'm glad that De La Hoya won....and shut up Vargas. De La Hoya proved himself to me and I think to a lot of people. Oh yeah...it was a great fight. It was goign back and forth for like 6 or 7 rounds until De La Hoya took over.

I had an opportunity to go to Vegas this weekend. But the thing was that my friends that were going where only doing a turnaround. I wouldn't mind a turnaround at all, but any other weekend. Not on a fight weekend. Too many freaking people there. Sorry guys if I flaked on you guys.

Ok, so am i freaking stupid or something? I think I am. So when we were out just chilling this weekend and a friend tells me that this pretty hot girl was checking me out! But she tells me after the fact and when we were going home! What in the world!!! Could you inform me at the time of the "checking-out". I know that I probably woudn't have done anything but it would've been nice to have the option. My friend was probably just saying that this hot girl was checking me out as a joke or just trying to make me feel good or just trying to instigate something. The reason I doubt my friend is because this girl was a hottie...hotties don't check me out....or do they? and i don't notice?
But let's assume that she WAS checking me out. Am I stupid that I didn't notice this girl checking me out? Someone told me that the person being checked out never notices but his/her friends do notice. That makes sense I guess, because if you're secretly checking out a guy/girl you don't want him/her to notice. Or am I just ignorant and have no clue when a girl is actually interested in me. Do I always deny that a girl is checking me out or is flirting with me? Dunno...perhaps...maybe....yes. I bet you if a girl went up to me and told me that I'm so hot that I'd think she's kidding. So please if you're a hot girl reading this. You have to make extra effort to get my attention because I'm a stupid moron.
