2008...

This year has definitely been a very eventful one...

But there is apparently too many to list...

If you were there, then you know what went down in 2008.

For me, i survived LVN school for starters. Met new faces and lost a good handful of old ones (good riddance). I became a guru for some and watched new relationships formed.

As i sit here at work ( as usual) i can't help but still contemplate on the past. I live with no regrets. Things happen for the better. I got better at seeing a person and their true colors. I finally found happiness. And i can absolutely say that this year was definitely the BESTEST one yet.

Reality finally hit me this year. As i surf the Internet for old friends that i lost contact with, i cant help but start to think that shit, my time is almost up. I never thought about marriage or family before until this year when all of a sudden all these wedding announcements and baby showers come runnin through my mail box. At least 3 people i know of almost same age level as me are getting married. When i was younger i never thought about the person i was with, if that was the one i would end up with. I wasn't a big believer on everlasting love. Maybe because i have seen so many fail at it. Or maybe i had a different perception of it all. Heck i was too young to understand it all. but now as the years pass me by, now i know.

Not to sound all sappy or anything. But I guess when you find that person, you just know. Its like that feeling that lasts inside you. The feeling that you still get as if it were the first time. It just doesn't end. That if you were to hug that person, it would feel just like you did the first time you hugged them. But its also that comfortable feeling. Like you are best friends, but still very much in love. As if there were no words to explain that feeling you get. Just simply loved.

I never had that feeling... until now. Things happen for a reason. If I didnt waste 9 years of my life with my past, then i dont think my future would of found me.

Can't wait!!!

I just got back from droppin off family at the airport. The sister, her bf, and 2 of my cousins will be in PI for a month! With brother being in Canada too, now I'm stuck at home with parentals. After dropping them off makes me more excited to be leaving soon! Can't wait... Philippines and Japan here I come!!!

40 days and counting!!!

Bra's vs. Cars

So topic of discussion came up last night... it was me, Kate and Alyssa on one side and Niel, Rodney and wingard on the other. Us girls were talking about clothes, then bras, then on to relationships, while the guys were talking about cars. So it was interesting to hear another girls opinion of the matter on relationships. It came about when Kate was talking about how she first met me. Then how Rodney and myke came close. Which made more sense to me now of how things were. Apparently myke and Rodney became closer after the his relationship ended with his ex, which by the way his ex is dating my friend. When Kate asked me if i still talk to my friend, i told her not as much just like i had anticipated. I get that when ur in a relationship, that yeah its all fine and dandy that you want to spend all the time in the world with that person, but you also can not neglect ur friends. There is that saying that boys/girls come and go, but ur friends last forever. Which is true. So we started to talk about that, how we still need quality time with friends jus as much as ur bf/gf. Then i got to think about my past. Man was i in a rut!!! i totally didn't get to do what i wanted with my friends without getting grilled about it or my phone ringing every min. Then i started to think back on the friends i lost because their relationships totally took control of them. Makes u wonder... I wasted 9 years of my life on someone that was never going to stay in my life. I had to reconnect with the friendships that i neglected for a relationship that was not going to succeed. live and you learn...

last night as i sat there, i would glance over every now and then at Kate and Rodney. they are so much in love with each other. Then i would look at Niel and he is the most sweetest guy i know. he took care of them that night when he didn't have to. but the best thing about him is that even though its been a year, he still doesn't mind if I'm out and about.

2008 is coming to an end real fast. I'm very grateful for those that came to my life and i don't regret those that left. I'm happy for new relationships that have begun and I'm sorry for those that failed.

while watching the office...

I wanted to say i had a total blast tonight for kate's birthday! Not enjoyin the fact that my hair smells like cig smoke, but its all good. Lots of love to my baby love for buyin wine and drinks for people that night...

again... happy birthday kate.. may you have many more enjoyable moments like this...

BIRTHDAY GIRLS!!!

Happy birthday,...


Kate...



and Julianne!!!

Happy Christmas EVE!!!

So its christmas eve... and im at work.. but only til 1pm. Funny how earlier i said that it finally hit me that it was christmass time.. i take that back. i tried to get into the spirit of it all, but i cant. even though i have the christmas songs goin on here at work, i still dont feel it. i dont know if its cause the economy is struggling, or what not. I dont know what it is, but i dont feel it. Eh, hopefully new years is better.

Birthday Girl...

""HIROKO!!!""

and that there ladies and gents was my thursday night online conversation...

::: date night was great today. Four Christmases - great movie... :::

my condolences...

go out to charise for the loss of her grandfather and her 8 day old niece...

Charise...

I did this once before... but i deleted it. and since CHARISE decided to tag me... and I have no intentions to tag anyone else...

Directions: Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a blog/Facebook note with 16 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end choose 16 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. Don’t forget to leave them a comment or tag them in your note to read this.

1. I really don't like it when people cant spell words properly. It makes me think that they are very uneducated. (example: sweeti? what the hell?? spell that shit right) i understand if its a TEXT message and your trying to break it down, but if its something else... come on now..

2. I've pretty much been there, done that. There probably isn't a situation that I haven't dealt with before. So for those that come to me for advice and for those that don't take my advice usually get assed out in the end. So therefore "I told you so"

3. I totally love my brother's new girlfriend. No one can compare to her.

4. Even though Ryan is not my blood cousin, I treat him as if he were.

5. I hate high maintenance people. I'm not one of them, but my boyfriend totally can spoil me with little things.

6. I'm notorious for getting a nail in my tire. I have had 3 this year and finally got AAA again.

7. I'm always looking for bargains. If there is a close out sale, you can definitely count on me being there.

8. I'm very dependable to my true friends. If they needed me to be there, i would be there as soon as I can. I would drive the distance for them.

9. Nursing was not my main career choice.

10. I can make the most dopest picture quilt/blanket.

11. Til this day, my boyfriend still properly asks me out on dates.

12. I get a whole week to celebrate my birthday.

13. Ask me if I'm happy.

14. My god daughter is my mini-me.

15. I am always trying to organize things.

16. I have a friend who i consider one of the betters out there that even though I haven't seen him in years, he still updates me on himself. He gets to the point and is very blunt. And I'm glad he considers me a good chick friend. Besides my baby love being my "bestest", this guy i consider my best guy friend who tells me how it is.

so i was driving home from work...

and this totally caught my eye...

Santa...

Every year he comes to our neighborhood... and he gives out 1 apple and 1 candy cane.

This close...

So last night, after i had dinner with niel, i left to go to wingards place to get my DS back. As i was getting onto the 91 freeway, for some odd reason i was very alert with my surroundings and i noticed this white car speeding pretty fast and barely misses me. I thought he was some typical asian guy tryin to prove a point by speeding fast. That was until he sworved and spun out. I thought he was tryin to drift and since the freeway was somewhat clear (at 8:15pm?) i thought he was tryin to be cool. but that wasnt the case. i barely braked missing his dumb ass. i was more afraid of gettin rear ended by another car, but luckily there wasnt anyone behind me yet. so i immediately hit my hazard lights. i kid you not.. i think i was maybe a few inches of hitting this dumb ass (thank goodness for brakes). but the thing was at the end of it all.. i wasnt shook up or anything cause it would of been his fault. as soon as he got himself together he drove off to the side of the freeway. he is so lucky i braked or i would of totally destroyed his driver side and it would of so not been a good way for me to end my year. Shit fucker got lucky he didnt get killed. i dont know what it was that was goin on in his head or if even taht was intensional but im just glad im ok.

santa came to my house last night too.. the city of paramount do it every year on a tuesday where santa comes on a sleigh and hands out 1 apple and 1 candy cane. this year they got smart and put them in white paper bags.

What if?...

I used to do that alot... I used to wonder "what if?". Today I caught myself shredding paper and was wondering "what if i placed the scissors in the shredder? what would happen?" sure enough.. the shredder started to take the scissors and i immediately turned it off and pressed the reverse button cause i couldn't pull it out. Then I got to thinkin... Its been awhile since i wondered the "what if's?" in my life. I notice that i don't do that anymore. Well, lately at least. I guess I'm pretty content with where I am at this point in time. Yeah i still have my occasional moments of trust issues or what not. But who doesnt???

Tonight: dinner with baby love... then christmas shop!

Tis the season...

FOR MY MITTENS!!! YAY!!!... (i wish i was still in my warm bed...)

=/

The holiday season just hit me... and it took this long for it to hit me

::SIGH::

my fave...

December...

I have yet to do my christmas shopping. I think i knocked out about 3 gifts so far. UGH.. totally lagging. I normally knock all the christmas shopping within the first week of december. I guess im totally lagging cause my month of november was totally busy.. With me and Niel's birthday being in the same month, it just makes it hard to finish errands. But it was totally worth it. This past week, baby love totally made me feel loved. And it was all worth it (yes i feel guilty now).

2008 is almost to an end. There has been alot of memorable things in 08' that i probably will write about when the time is near.

I cant wait for christmas to be done with. After that, I need to save up for my trip to the Philippines/Japan in less than 2 months.

AGENDA: Work, Buy Niel a new phone, Dinner with Parents and Fam (if they arrive), Excel my expenses for the next 2 months, work on who to get what gifts for, and then fold my clothes before they get more wrinkly than they already are...

he..

completes me...

Quality Time...

Is fuckin amazing...

Strip Club...

Well i can honestly say my boyfriend totally made my night. When he said he was going to make it rain tonight, HE MADE IT RAIN!!! My night started off with him takin me out to eat at Benihana (awesome). Then after going through disappointments, I was like "fuck it, im drinkin tonight and gettin a lap dance" Shortly after Niel sent me to his car to get a white envelope out of the glove compartment, i was amazed to find an envelope filled with single dollar bills. Boyfriend was not kiddin when he said he went to the bank to get singles. He took out $200 in singles just for my night. Shortly after, Clark, Chris, John and Hiroko came. Then i called Philip to tell him he didn't need to come out from Moreno Valley for me, but he did anyway. We arrived to Fritz and niel gave me and hiroko some ones and made us sit by the stage. We totally had a blast. Philip came afterwards. Philip gave me single dollar bills too. Ernie came about an hour later. I made about 4 stripper friends there that night. Even though the people that were broke, didnt care. They still came. There was this one stripper girl, named kinko (i think thats how it was spelled) totally made my night. She had the dj announce happy birthday to me and when he did, niel totally made it rain on one of the stripper girls... money was just straight flyin in the air. I bought my girl Hiroko and niel's brother clark a lap dance by kinko. SHe kept tellin me " girl its your birthday, you shouldnt be buyin dances!!!" she totally hooked up me and niel with a 2 for 1 deal. Everyone got dances that night. And it was never ending drinks for us. Niel totally hooked a girl up. I became pretty popular that night. It felt like disneyland with every stripper there tellin me happy birthday. When niel said he was gonna make it rain... Baby boy does not lie...

Thank you to those that came. Thanks baby love for my lap dance, tons of shots, and for givin me money to put down girls g-strings, down my bra, down her bra.. whatever...

Thanks to a very eventful night of girls copin a feel, hittin on me, gettin glitter lip gloss on my chest, and for good company...
