Random Exciting Stories!

So i'm kinda excited to write this blog entry cuz i got a lot to say. as always. hehe : )

so anyways, lets start off with the bad news first, then build up to the good news and end the blog in a better light.

Bad:
(1)_____ So i'm a sinner, and i contnue to sin, and sometimes the guilt ways me down. but im working on it.
(2) _____i've had a lotta hw lately. i've been somewhat slacking on the hw. I've kinda relaxed myself more wih that and given myself some leeway. i think it might be a bad thing, then again, it could be a good thing. so iono. It's not like im failing my classes, i think i'm doing quite well if u ask me, but just comparing myself to Fall and Winter quarter to Spring quarter, i've been putting less effort into my studies. But im happy and still doing well so. = )
(3)_____ Joyce freaking scared the crap outta me rite now, she jumped outta no where and surprised me as i was writing this. lolz. im in csl rite now btw.
(4)_____ oh... so this really annoys me. I have a strong dislike to people, who i barely even know, freeload off of me. i don't mean like food or anything, cuz im always down to share the food i have. but dude! seriously, so this one person i kinda know... or more like aquaintance, comes up to me after noon mass and asks me for a favor. This person wanted me to give him/her all the notes i had for one of my classes. i barely found out that he/she was in my class that day. and what sux is that i wake my ass up for 9 am class so i can take notes and stuff, so why should i give him my notes. why does he deserve the easy way out when im the one how worked for all of it. I mean, i understand if i kinda know u and we're good friends and we help each other throughout the quarter and such, but i barely knew this person! literally. EX. Toni and i are in classics class together, and we talk and we hang out with LoG and stuff. We share notes as in she give me her notes and i email her mine. So we're cool. but this person just freeloaded offa me and asked me for all my hard work. It's like working at a company for 7 years and then you finally get that job promotion, then sum new kid you don't no comes up to you and asks if he can share the promotion benefits you just worked for. C'mon foo! Break urself nekkuh! ok... sy, i think i'm done now. >: ) grrr
(5)_____ Oh and one last thing that got me pretty annoyed. this black foo was outside of campus in front of the CSL and UCI bookstore on ring road and he was preachin' it up. now, i luv god and i appreciate the thought of spreading God's name, im all for that, but seriously... he was condeming ppl. straight up calling ppl. sinners left and right. hated that. It gives people of faith a bad name. He said somehting like "it's time to take a break from all your sins. Break up with the girlfriend. Break up iwth that boyfriend." and i got pretty angry. n e wayz.

On to the good stuff

(1)_____ So as i've stated before in my previous blog, i was interested in a summer job. Girl Julian told me about this really great summer job, and i think i'm pretty much hired because i heard they are desperate for workers. and it seems like a fun job. it's called GSA. Gifted Students Academy. i get to b an RA for 5 weeks and get to watch over lil kids and stuff. i heard that it's pretty tiring but a lotta fun. and the pay is quite nice if u ask me. i kinda want to buy some nice clothes with that money. = ) in any case, the only concern i have is that i might not get the job because i think im suppose to have my summer classes between the times of 8 am to 4 pm. and i have a class at 7 at night to 10 or sumtin like that on TuTh. so iono, pray for me, hopefully i can make it. hehe
(2)_____ I went to my first CFC Youth meeting (Couples for Christ Youth for Christ). it was freaking awesome! it's was dope man. i luved it. kinda similar to LoG but... a lil diff. i like their style and it's really small group, not as big as logs and it's kinda home-y. so yeah. i like it. i think i'll go more often. ;-)

(3)_____ Oh My Buddah! guys! check this out... so at CFC on Wed. i did my very first pull up of my life! i was soooooooo excited. I've never been able to do a pull up before. i was seriously sooo proud of myself. it was in front of the bathroom near SST and the Convenince store where this are those steps of construction above the restroom entrance. i just jumped up and grab on... pulled up and i was like.... "im gonna do this shizz!" and bam! EFFFFF yeah! hellz yeah son! felt so freaking good. now i know that i can save my own life if i'm ever hanging off the edge of a cliff. lolz. but yeah... seriously, an accomplishment of my life. :-D
(4)_____ So there is this thing called Catholic appreciation night, it's pretty cool i've heard. it's gonna be on tuesday night, and i am gonna go. I need formal dress pants tho... and i don't have any. so iono what to do about that. i needa buy some soon. But i heard there's some really really good food. and im not paying anything to be in it. so, yeah. woot catholic appreciation night!
(5)_____ Senior banquet is coming up real soon. im excited to go. but the tix will hurt my pocket, but htat's okay. im still excited for the seniors and the roasters... speaking of which, i needa work on the person ima roast. ;-) anyway. i heard it's gonna be a lotta fun. it's at interfaith and i heard we are gonna dance and have music too! Woot! Gala all over again or what? lol jk. but yeah. I'm very excite! *borat accent*
(6)____ Oh, at the CFC Youth meeting, Elinor was there and after the meeting i was talking to her. i said "oh so wut's new with u?" elinor goes "i've been doing a lotta yoga" and she puts her arms behind her back and does a prayer sign, u know... like ur hands are together like ur clapping. not doing the sign of the cross or n e ting.*(although u gotta b hella flexy to be able to bust that off... rofl. freaking a sign cross behind ur bak!)* just doing that prayer thing when ur hands are together, but just bheind ur bak. so i try to do that rite. and copy her rite, and then i go "i did it! i didnt' think i can do it!" lol and then a few sec later... my arms started hurting, i think i over stretched it and it hurt like a mutha. seriously. the lesson for the day... don't attempt any yoga moves if you are not a trained yoga master and don't do it when you haven't stretched properly. hahah
(7)_____ Oh... so this is kinda embarassing for me to tell... but yeah... i thougth i'd share it cuz i thougth it was hella funnie. ir eally couldn't stop laffing for a while. it's one of those laffs that ur stomache hurt. u know? lolz so it was joyce and i studying together and it was just both of us. so it was yesterday night and i was hella stressed cuz i was studying for my midterm and essay due tomorrow. so i was too lazy to go to the bathroom, so i just ripped a big fart... :-P *(yeah.... i know gross rite?)* so then Joyce goes... "What was that noise?" and i go "Safety!" "she's like ewwww! it sounded like u stepped on a duck or sumtin!" ROFL. oh man... and then she smelled it and her face was hilarious. im sry. but i couldnt' stop laffing. so funnie man... Oh Geez! *dumo voice* lol im sry, but i really couldn't stop laffing. hahahha
(8)_____ okay... so this might sound kinda gross... but i noticed somehting really funnie on campus lately. so im walking to math class rite? and then i see this kinda big black dude. he's overweight and he's wearing this kinda sheer yellow shirt. and what the best part was that i saw his man boobies bobbing up and down while i was walking past him!!! It's weird because each boob kinda bounced differently u know? like one side was bouncing up and the other boob was bouncing down. oh my freaking buddah man.... it was like..... wow. wear a bigger shirt! or at least one that wasn't so sheer. lolz. and i like... saw his nipples and everything. and it's like... wow. and i almost see him everytime i walk to math class.... oh man. so .... wow. that's all i can say. jiggle jiggle... lol oh! i almost forgot! today too! i saw this kinda fair white skinned guy walking on ring road rite? and then i thougth it was Chris cheleo. It seriously looked like him, just a bigger and chunkier... and dude... i saw that foo's man boobies too! ombuddah man. am i being haunted with man boobies lately or what? i think i should just literally, look at the floor wen i walk on campus. ugh.... but realistically, i should be complaining, cuz i had man boobies before too when i was fatter. so i shouldnt' be making fun. but i thought it was funnie and i wanted to share that with u.

so yeah. i think this concludes another long blog from Ace Enriquez hope everyone has a great day, and maybe i'll see u at PCN.

shades of gray (grey)

im not sure which way gray/grey is spelled. so i put both, but i always thought its was spelled with an A.

any way. today was tough, but nice. started off the day deccent. but then it got pretty bad. then fam. time really made my day a lot brighter.

i woke up frm joyce's fone call, she was on her way to work. played ps1 for a bit. ate breakfast/lunch. cuz i ate around noon. and then i drove home. some bad traffic. got me angrier. and then i luved seeing my parents and sibs agen. i luv them so much. they really cheered up my day. i wonder if i show my affection back as much as they show me how much they care for me. ... hrm ... I luv my family very very much. :-D

so after i got home, i tried to work on my essay. i have a revision due on monday. im kinda struggling. too hard. and i couldn't focus with all the things going on in my mind. i kinda just gave up on it nearing the end of the day. iono why, but im not dreading it so much. maybe i can work on it tomorrow on momma's day when i hav a break. speaking of which, we're gonna just go to mass at ten am. (too early if u ask me) and we're gonna have a home bbq grill style. sounds nice eh? iono tho, i would have prefered to go eat out somewhere with mom. but i guess that too traditional and overdone. plus, it was my mom's idea to hav the bbq. so why not do wut momma wants rite? hehe

so i had a talk with joyce today, and then i worked on my essay and gave up on it. played rock band with kuya sonny, and then we got Alfredo's mexican food and watch Harold and Kumar 2 : Escape from Guantanamo Bay. it was hella funny. i liked it a lot.

So i kinda feel bad, but i want to ask for more. iono why. i should just appreciate what i have and value it and enjoy it. but iono... i want more. does that make me a horrible person? I kinda wrote a personal diary entry on a word doc. just to vent. It felt good. but... im just not sure anymore. i feel like im stuck on a gray area where i just can't decide what i want. this doesn't really happen to me often. and that's why im kinda... feeling weird. cuz im ussually the type that knows what he wants and tries to get it. and right now... this grey feeling of emptyness makes me feel like... i need more to help me deicde. i want more... and i don't know why i do, but i feel guilty for asking for it. i just want to pray. Hopefully god can ease my soul and answer my questions and prayers.


Please Lord God, ease my worries, my pains, and my sorrows. Touch my heart with your holy light and embrance me in the shadows of fear. Save me with your almighty healing power and never let me go. Make me an instrument of your holy actions and will. Mold me into the the son of Adam you want me to be so that i may be mark me worthy of the promises of Christ our Lord. Make me strong and keep me whole so that I can overcome the boulders and obstacles in my everyday life. Please hear and answer my prayers if it is in accordance to your will and let me always feel your presence in warmth with comfortable open arms. Watch over me guide me and keep me and my countless blessings(family, friends, and everything i luv in life) safe where you my watch us, guide us, and keep us safe. And thank you Lord for everything you've done for me. I humbly say "Amen."

have a good nite everybody.

excited!

so yesterday was soo awesome. thursdays and tuesdays are always my best days. yesterday was a thursday. late start. didnt' have class until 3pm but i decided to go to noon mass and nancy's home cooking. dang man.... i luv nancy's cooking and im really starting to enjoy noon mass. but wut i luv the most about thursdays and tuesdays is that i luv to sleep in. dang man... i just... heck yeah. lol. that's all i can say.

so wut im really excited about was the fact that i learned some basics for guitaring. Mark is teaching me. it was kinda fun. although i know ima get hella frustrated, but yeah. that'd b cool if i got really good at it. i feel like im really musically challenged. lol but mark said that i can learn and he's patient. after all, he did the talk about patience for log. lolz. so yeah, guitaring... awesome. hopefully it doesn't distract me from studying. lol

it was cool doing SBC stuff with log. even tho i had to skip out a bit and go to class. but yeah, i like the fact that we all put in our efforts to make something wonderful for the seniors. i like that. plus, i took a quiz wen i went to class and it think i aCed it. ! woot !
lol. n e wayz

Dumo's blog's on xanga are hilarious, that's all i can say. lol. dang man... plus i like talking with him online.

hrm... once again... my blog has no structure and organization. it is very random. lol but yeah... i got a good chunk of hw to do for the weekend. and im still wondering if ima go home for the weekend because it's mother's day. i wonder if we'll even do anything. so im still wondering if i'll need to go home.

current thought. "i hope im not gaining weight again. i feel like i've been eating a lot more food lately. maybe it's becuase of tita lu-lu's cooking. it's soo good. but i feel like i've been getting hungrier sooner and eating more... not sure why. oh wellz. somebody tell me if' im gaining kay? be brutally honest. like... "aCe, it looks like u gained five lbs!" or "hey rakishi! yeah im talking to u aCe!" lol. n e way. but yeah.

uh... sry i don't have many funny things for u guys to read, but i'll work on adding jokes on my blogs so it'll be a bit more entertaining for u all to read. it's mostly been just... diary style writing. hopefully that doesn't sound gay. lolz. but yeah...

well must b off. farewell to all and have a good nite. everyone excited to go to Bellamees b-day thing at elephant bar? : D see u there

latz guys!

thoughts for the night

Hey everyone, well I think I’ve just decided to make my blogspot public now. At first, I was debating whether I was going to make it public or not. I intended to have this private and just for diary entries, but I ended up telling a few people who were really close to me, so I thought that I might as well make it public.

So just a heads up, that the date and time I posted this is wrong. It should be Tuesday may 6th, around 11:50 pm. I just don’t have internet rite now and I am writing on a word doc wanting to post this at another time

As for right now, I would like to take the time to thank the ppl. Concerned and worried about me and how I’ve been feeling lately. I really appreciate all of your concern. If it is any comfort to u all, I’ve been feeling a lot less depressed. So yeah, things are good. I also enjoyed being around LOG. Tonite was most esp. fun. Except for the fact that I had to leave early cuz I hav class. : / oh wellz
So rite now im itching to play final fantasy 1. I hav it for ps1 and I really wanted to pick it up and start it again. Lotta fun. So that’s one of the things im looking forward to. Also is bellamee’s 21 b-day! Woot. It’s at elefant bar. Hella expensive, but im down to just go and chill. Eat a lot before I arrive and just chill with LOG and wish belamee a happy birthday. I was thinking about not going… but yeah mark said to just come and don’t order anything. he said it so beautifully tho. Lemme see if I can remember how he said it… “dude man. Just come and don’t’ order anything. It’s like spending time with all your friends and hanging out is just priceless man… im just telling it how it is.” But he said it in a mark surfer accent. U know wut I mean. Lol. N e way. It was just beautiful. Lol. Almost made joyce and I cry.

Speaking of crying, I am really gonna miss the seniors. I can’t believe some of them are graduating. Ima b hella sad. : / but good luck to all of u! I luv my senior loggers. LOGSK8 OH8!!!! WOOT
Lol. Alrite, ima play ff1. Everyone hav a pleasant evening.

the good and bad

hrm... so im starting to see the reason why joyce really likes blogspot. i think im starting to get addicted. im starting to appreciate the value of venting through writing. it's quite wonderful.

lets see... friday morning (technically 2 days ago frm wen im writing this) i was going to my nine o'clock writing class and i was making a right turn onto hardvard. i creeped forward kinda fast, but i broke cuz oncoming traffic woulda hit me. at least one second after i broke, the lady behind me on the stop sign hits me in the rear bumper. my whiplash hit felt all crzy dude. but then when looked at the rear, it had the smallest scratch ever! it was sooo weird. and some persian lady comes out. i could barely understand what she said. she said something about her daughter being in a rush cuz she had to take a midterm. her daughter was in shotgun and went to uci too. i got her phone number, her address (which she happens to live on the same street i live on) and a name i couldn't pronounce.

the conclusion? i went home and my kuya(tagalog for brother) and dad checked it out and saw the damage. said that i didnt' need to talk to the insurance company and inform them, it might actually work against me with hight payment etc. i dun really know how it works, but yeah... lol um... so yeah, i felt a slight whiplash, it hurt about an hr. or two after the accident, it was kinda sore. i wasn't too sure if it was psychologically hurting. u know, if it is just mental or not. but yeah, if i happen to feel sum major neck pain in three weeks, ima have to ask the lady to pay for my medical bills. yup. so that's the end to that.

so right now, i went home to Baldwin Park, cleaned up my room a bit, played tennis with some good friends, followed up wiht buffet. tennis was hella fun, although i still need to work on my overall game. my serve is still weak and i need to be much more consistent in games and my backhand and my serve. lol how about work on my everything? lol i still need a lotta work on my mental game, i need to not get nervous and be confident when i hit my shots. n e way... korean bbq. omb. it was soo good. sushi was deccent. had my favorite. mackrel sushi. soo good stuff man. and bbq was hella good. so yeah. i stuffed myself silly. if sumbody punched me in my stomache wen i walked out the restaurant, i woulda thrown up. that's who full i was. n e way... ummm after that, i went to Paul and Kristy's house. realy nice place in costa Mesa btw. oh! another cool fact is that Kristy is actually Jonas' cousin. so yeah... pretty cool eh? i met kristy before i met Jonas. (lol sidenote, i just remember Beyencis((sp?)) introducing Jonas at sprit rally as 'Jonasty' rofl )

so rite now im still at paul and kristy's place at 4 in the morning. lol. we got sum drinks and monster. i took some sips of what they had, but it's been a while since i've sipped a beer. so i should b good to drive now. im chugging down monster's to keep myself up. i think im on my third can, but ate and i kinda half share the monsters. so i think i drank about 2 cans. i guess. well yeah... i should prolly leave soon. but yeah. karaoke is soo much fun. i havent' done so in a while. = )

i miss joyce-joyce

sry, i just kinda wanted to add that in. lol. but yeah... um... someone said something that got me kinda mad/depressed. and i dun really wanna point the person out, but yeah... i just .... grr. lol sry, im very vague rite now. and i can't express it as poetically and ambiguously as joyce can. she's soo talented. hrm... maybe i should stop talking about her. lol the ppl. that read this blog might be like... 'dude aCe! we get it!' lol. getting all annoyed at me. n e wayz. um...yeah... i think we're gonna leave soon.

so one thing that's kinda been in the back of my head for like... the past month is a good friend of mine, who we're having a falling out. i wonder how that person is doing. even tho i feel like i shouldn't worry or i should just let it go or let is slide. but iono, what does that say about me and my character? does that make me a bad person to not do n e thing? i kinda don't know what to do...

And as for my depression/sadness. it's getting much better. i still feel that way tho. but i guess it's not as bad or only sometimes do i feel that way.

I'm loving my new place that im living in. they older couple im living with is so nice. they are not catholic, but i still like them a lot, and i feel like they will really grow on me. they are so generous with their food. i done have to worry about baon(lunch pack) for school n e more. and tita(tagalot for aunt) lulu's cooking is sooooo good. and tito homer plays tennis. i think im hit with him soon. he's reitred and all he does is play tennis and all tita lulu does is cook and both are really into their faith. tito homer likes watching korean dramas and movies and such, which is pretty cool in my opinion. i wanna be just like tito homer wen i grow up and retire. play tennis all day and play for like... 4 days a week. if my body permits that is... lol and yeah, awesome anime i'd watch and all the old school games i never beat that i'd play. im sooo looking forward to retirement. hopefullly i could retire young and i can do that soon. lol. im only 19! and im already thinking about retirement. rofl. n e ways... um...

so im suprisingly not sleepy yet... monster's pretty crzy, although i know they are bad for my body and ima crash. as in my body will just feel hella weak and just... lethargic.

haha so it's kinda funnie cuz ate may is super sore and it's like... if u touch her arms she'll be all pained.

hrm... i think for sure this'll be the last song. lol we gotta leave s paul and kristy can sleep. hahaha yeah. our hosts are falling asleep. hopefully we aren't overstaying our welcome :-P

ite the time is 4:15 sleep well world and take care everyone

much luv to all. and thx the lord for the wonderfull day.

first blog

hrm, so joyce-joyce has a blogspot, and i happen to like the idea. a great way to vent yourself and share idea. quite a grand idea if u ask me. plus i need help with my writing and mechanics. it totally sux. so feel free to leave me as many comments as you please, most especially if it's about analyzing my thougths or commenting on my word ussage and grammar. or even just saying a simple "hi" as u might've heard me say before, a few words can just really make my day. :-)

well in any case. one of the main reasons i decided to create a blogspot account was cuz i needed to vent. i had this strong reason to make one because like... iono why, but ive been feeling depressed reccently. for the past week and a half i've been feeling this way. now now everyone. let's not be alarmed and call a group meeting with my family and closes friends and talk about me for twelve hrs. honestly i doubt the credibility with those types of experiments. i feel like it can either have a really good effect on the target, or make them go berserk and postal for having them sit still and listen to how much everyone cares about him her.

and no i don't feel like cutting myself or anything. im not that depressed. I never really understood the point in doing so. how does it make u feel better and why would u do it? i never really got the main point. although i do know a few ppl. who have gone through that experience of having to cut themselves because they felt it was necessary. and they aren't very happy and delightful stories to hear, i'll tell u that much. i feel so much sadness just thinking about them. all those ppl. i know. i'll pray for them. please pray for them too, esp. if u know ppl. who do that to themselves.

but yeah, i've been feeling depressed lately, and im not too sure why, which is the weird thing. hrm... is it the change of scenary? and not having a stable living environment? girlfriend issues? not visiting home for a long time? lack of spiritual faith? jealousy? combinations of all or a few of the mentioned above. none of the above? who knows?

Maybe i've been feeling depressed because i think about the things that make me sad. and i ponder on it so much to the point where it effects my actions. or something triggers me to think or relate to something sad that has happend to me or is happening to me. and i just ponder on it. which i probably shouldn't do that. but my mind just seems to wander away from me and imagine on it's own sometimes. i often wonder my limitations of controlling my mind. how far cna i really control my focus and attention span? can i control my mind from daydreaming? can i choose when to dream? that'd be pretty interesting if i could.

well in anycase. what's new with me. i moved into a nice new place with my own room with really cheap rent. im living with a semi-strick older couple who are aquaintances of my parents. i get horrible reception tho. sux butt. Tito Homer and Tita Lu Lu. Tita LuLu can cook some good food. snaps. and i hear tito homer plays tennis and is down to hit with my brother and i.what i like about the place is that i have my own room, but it's kinda lonely without a roomate, i gotta admit. and the place is well furnished. such a nice house. i like it here. i think it'll just take me some time to get adjusted and used to it.

lately i've been finding some good tennis time with robert siew and charlene and charmiane (im trying to the call them "the twins" so correct me if i say "the twins" and scold me) LOG is awesome. i luv the ppl. in LOG. and i can't stop smiling when i'm around them. im an extrovert, and when i'm around loggers. i can't stop bouncin' off the walls. so much genuine and great ppl. in there. and i luv each and every one of them.

UCI is going alrite, classes are all chill. only pressured when it gets down to midterms and finals.

Things im looking forward to(written in no particular order of importance just what came to mind first that's all) :
  1. Mark teaching me how to play the guitar
  2. Mark and i going to work out or run together
  3. Joyce and I having our fifth month together
  4. all the LOG meetings
  5. Nancy's thursday lunches
  6. Nancy telling us more of her childhood stories. they so cool i heard on this afternoon! Nancy's the coolest older lady i know! =D
  7. New place im living in
  8. Spring banquet
  9. More tennis with robert of tito home or kuya sonny or whoevers down to play
  10. cool summer job
  11. LOG summer retreat
  12. spending time with a relative from the Phillipines
I just noticed my paragraphs are very random. sry about that, i am just a random dude in general and i just got tons of thought just bouncing around in my noggin somewhere.

Things im not so looking forward to:
  1. summer school
  2. problems
  3. checking spam mail
  4. spending money and penny pinching
  5. getting hurt (could apply to anything physical or emotional)
This is a pretty long blog entry, i kinda like it. hahaha nice for a first blog entry rite?

so rite now, julian, girl julian that is, is trying to see if she could hook me up iwht a really cool summer job that im interested in. but the only problem is that i need to have my summer classes in between the hrs. of 8am to 3 pm. and i signed up for a 7 pm. class. so iono if that's gonna still work out for me. it's on TuTh tho.

i kinda feel like i've been writing a lot. i kinda wanna take a break. i bet ur eyes are tired of reading this. kay... i think i'll play some games on onemorelevel.com this is an awesome site and i highly reccomend it to everyone. two thumbs up. heheh. everyone hav a great day today. peaCe
