i hung out with the lead singer of rivermaya!!! rivermaya is only thee biggest alternative band in the philippines. anyway, i had no idea how big this guy was til our music video production was assigned. we asked him to be the talent for the music video i'm directing only b/c that guy is ALWAYS singing in class so he pretty much had no choice. i asked my brother and cousin to play acoustic for him and we went to his house on saturday where we practiced for a couple of hours. i met his wife and she showed me all the pictures from his performances and all the articles written on him that she saved in a photo album. it turns out this guy was born up in the bay and was sent to the philippines every summer to stay out of trouble which is where he bumped into certain people that hooked him up with a band and the rest is history. he moved back to cali to take television production classes and then he's gonna move back to the PI in june or july. he and his wife said that if we ever go back to the PI just give them a call and they'll take us everywhere, even to one of his shows! i was so stoked (yes, stoked). anyway, enough drooling, i gotta go to class.

i got my financial aid!!! (patting myself on the back)

quinn drove me through the ghetto last night. freak. i think he was trying to kill me. sleep with one eye open.

speaking of the ghetto, my coworker "bambi" calls me ghetto girl. I'M NOT GHETTO! i'm not, i'm not, i'm not. but when a black chick starts to call you ghetto, you figure there's some truth in it. what the hell. first sean calls me vietnamese, then mel calls me vato, and now i'm ghetto?!

thanks, g-funk, for the movies. i will definitely buy him the whole collection.

if i haven't talked to any of you in a couple of days, then boy do i need to update ya'll. but i don't feel like typing it all out so give me a call, suckas. oh! and mel, i was "in bed" the morning you called me if you know wutta mean.

so anyway, my parents and i aren't on speaking terms at the moment. i give them a week to adjust, if they ever do.

on another note, I GOT ACCEPTED TO LARW!!! woohoo! my financial aid is still pending... we'll see. i should be starting january 7 full-time 40 hours/week, but i'm strongly considering getting a full-time job very similar to jen's and going to school part-time in the evenings and weekends. there are too many things going through my head right now that need to be resolved.

(this dude that just sat next to me in the computer lab smells hella good!)

anyway, crazy changes will be talking place in the following months, which may mean spending less time with my friends (*sniff, sniff*). but hey, there's always the love of my life ---> blogger (b/c i'm a retard like that).

i got lectured this morning by my dad b/c i didn't come home last night. in all honesty, i told him i slept over at jesse's b/c i figure i'm too old to lie to my parents and i'm mature enough to make my own decisions. he didn't like that. hahaha. oh well. what are they gonna do? ground me?

reality check: i'm turning 26 next month and i don't even have the privacy to have a guy sleep over and shit like that. i'm really starting to go insane living at home. it's not like i'm gonna be fucking everyone i come across b/c i'll have my own pad... i just miss the freedom. you know, not having someone constantly keeping track of your schedule and shit. my sis and i were talking about moving out together but we can't do it anytime soon. probably not til april or may.

enough bitching.

anyway, next update in a couple of days or so, or at least until we get our monitor back. we got it back 2 days ago, and after 1/2 hour, it blanked out again... so back to the repair shop! piece of crap ass monitor.
