The back of your head is ridiculous!

so i want to create some traditions everytime i blog. what i've been doing is putting the end time i stop writing every time i finish a blog. i also wanna start putting the song im listening to when i start bloggin and a quote. so here starts the tradition. this is history in the making folks! (haha okay... maybenot, but who cares rite?)

Song listening to as i started blog: Jason Mraz "I'm Yours"

Quote of the day blog: "The language of friendship is not words but meanings" ---Henry David Thoreau

So i've had a pretty shitty week this week. lol. i mean... if i think about it, things could always be worse, but yeah, my week didn't start off with a band, lets put it that way. haha. i recieved some bad news early on in the week from a few of my closest friends and that kinda go me downer. I got into another heated argument with a close friend of mine at UCI on wednesday. and then 2 midterms Thursday Friday to follow that up. so things have been kinda interesting lately.

but i mean... i honestly don't know wut i'd do without my friends, the advice of all the people i talked to, and just... the mad support from so many varying ppl. i can't thank God enuf for blessing me this week despite all the bad things that went down this week.

on the plus side of things, my week really turned over a new leaf by the time i finished my midterms. My Halloween was effing awesome man! the best halloween i've ever had. I dressed up as a frenchie for LOG. and i was a wannabe Filipino Kanye West on Halloween. it was a lotta fun man. i helped out for mass on friday(eve mass for all saints day) and chilled with Mustard Seeds for a bit at interfaith. i really like the fact that im trying to broaden my horizons with the varying catholic clubs on campus. I'm not sure how great of an impact being on UCC CORE has had on me, but as of rite now, im not really complaining. hehe...

but anyway! my halloween was friggin awesome man. i chilled at interfaith for a bit, ate, i didn't get to see my sister, but that's cool. and i headed over to sherry and Jen's place... and i seriously love they're place. but it's more about company than anything. Steve Forton came over and so did Myk Bareto. Joyce Charmaine, and Charlene and I just kiked it there and we really had a good time even tho we didn't even really do anything Halloween and scary looking, we all still enjoyed ourselves, and each other's company. afterall, isn't that what the spirit of halloween is all about? friendship and happiness? lol.

we freaking played duck hunt man! how more halloween can u get than that man. hahhah. duck hunt, cards, a lot of conversing. eating candy and food. connect for. more and more conversing. lots of one on one bonding. i don't mean to sound sappy or anything, but it was really cool and i felt like it was the major highlight my week.(that turned frm crap to cool). we stayed up till 6 am practically seeing the sunrise come up. i talked to Sherry about a lot of stuff... and man, it's like we never get tired of talking to each other. haha. like, we always have something to say or listen about,and it's like we can just talk for hours and still not get bored u know? u know how rare that is? it's crzy man. and hanging out with a bunch of really cool and close friends, it's just awesome man. i mean... around 4:30am i think, we got into story telling i think. (Charmine has some good stories) haha. and then somehow, we bridged our convo into a debate of marriage and the importance of marrying out of love or economic status and how valuable/important certain factors apply to happiness and lasting marriages. Everyone put in their own two cents here and there. I had my own views, Charlene had her own views, Steve was looking at it and pointing out thigns he learned from some of the classes he's taken. and it's crzy how we can discuss somehting like that so early in the morn without sleep and we are all still tite and good frenz. u know?

we also busted out some books with Interview Questions. lol... iono why that happend, but i asked Sherry if i could borrow those books for a bit, and next thing u know, we're all in a big circle asking each other Interview Questions. lol. crzy huh? we could either answer the Question just to make everyone laff, or answer it as if it were a real interview, then we'd critique each person's answer. Steve came up with some awesome answers. lol! and charmaine was sooo harsh when she was pretending to interview Charlene. it was ridiculous man. it was good times tho.

Hrm... maybe i'm going into too much detail with this blog. lol. but yeah... just in a nutshell, steve told sum good stories, we all talked, and did stuff that was very unhalloween related, and we had a blast, we slept over, and the next day, we got some in n out. I played tennis the following day, and just chilled. The days after my friday midterms have been great so far. i wonder wuts gonna happen next...

im feeling pretty tired man. i think i'll just stop rite here. another very long blog entry huh? i needa learn how to condense and shorten my thoughts into a concise manner. daym i sux at writing. haha. nite ya'll

hope everyone's safe and doing fine.

---end time 1:58

midterm tomorrow

even tho i hav a midterm tomorrow(technically today) and friday, i still manage to find the time to blog. funnie isn't it? i just wanted to vent a bit of my thoughts with the electronic online paper which is the internet.

I am learning a lot, and asking advice from various people, and i appreciate everything. but i feel so discouraged somtimes. i need to be more confident. i keep telling myself. i think my main course of action for the time being is to just not get my hopes up. NOT GET MY HOPES UP. fudge man. i just... i just shouldn't try... but like, i kinda just don't wanna try n e more. i just wanna play it by ear and do things with how i feel at the time. Having expectations sux. and i should just drop them. am i being too negative? sry...

i think it's just that i miss a feeling that i really want back... but i should really prioritize myself and focus my thoughts and energy elsewhere... why do i do this to myself, i hav no idea...

good night all

end time 2:24

I'm trying something new...

so im trying to do this new thing, it's what most ppl. do with blogging, and it's to blog in bits and pieces instead of what i have been doing like blogging in mass essayish style of writing on how my past month has been. we'll see how well i do with this.

So today was a new day, and just like any other day. things come at me sooooo unexpectedly. but i think i dealt with them with the best of my ability. thinking back on it... i could have handled things a little better... but i didn't. if only there was a rewind buttom of time like freaking Prince of Persia or sumtin... (am i hella nerdy for knowing/saying sumtin like that? lol)

so i got angry at a really good friend today, and i am generally great at controlling my anger. but i guess i couldn't help it. It upsets me to know the fact that i messed up. and i should really just let it go. but i think it was just in the heat of the moment, and i just got caught up. i should really relax more... i needa stop acting so childish and stupid. i needa grow up a bit more...

I am a little worried about some of my best friends. i've recieved news about some of my closest freinds doing some things that aren't the best thing for they're health rite now. i really hope they are doing okay and that God watches over them. I had a good talk with Ronneza about this, and she was such a great listener and i felt really comfortable talking to her. thx Ronneza! : D she gave me some valuable insight, and then we started talking with Father John francis about viet food with Pierre and the convo just went haywire frm there. haha. i wanted to talk to Ronneza a bit more about one more topic, but Father came in on our convo. but it was all good tho. : )

I'm kinda excited for LOG tomorrow, costumes and all. i can't wait to wear mine. haha. it'll be great.

So i was talking to Steve Forton, and he's such a cool guy to talk to. i feel like i can open up with him about alotta stuff. hahaha. i hope i get to see him in person soon. i miss that fooolio. haha. we were talking about going to the Improv again... awe man. sooo much fun! srsly.

I also felt like i missed a good opportunity today to get something i realy wanted. i just wish i could turn back that clock again... but it's all good, i just hope things work out. yep im just hoping and making bold actions. lol

So i was talking with Valerie (my roomate) and we talked for such a long time. she always takes me away form my hw. but it's all good. what we talk about is such valuable, lifelong lessons. lol maybe im exaggerating it a bit too much. but yeah, what we talked about was really important. to me anyway. and im starting to feel very comfortable and open with her. and i appreciate her in my life. thank you lord for giving me her in my life, her support, advice, and personality is truly irrepaceable. hehe. we talked about me "changing my mindset" so to speak. i can't go tooooo much into detail, but that's what the gist of it was. and i really luv her advice. i feel like it's gonna work. i feel like i owe her so much. : D

so i had a semi-bad day start. but it got better as the day progressed. i laid off a bit of hw. and played tennis then bball. then the talk with Val really helped me out. so i feel better. i don't know wut i'd do without the mad support of others. i really thank them. today was a good healthy day, but iono about academic day. lol. but i did a bit of hw before i blogged and sleep tonite.

and to finish off this blog(which turned out longer than i expected)... i just wanna leave it off with this lyric frm the band called Elefant. the song entitled Misfit and a lil sumtin i typed up myself

"tell me your name... tell me your story... cuz im into it. running thru life... like a Misfit..."

"It's complicated... and im hella busy... and i dont' think i have much time. but i needa do this. i can do this. i have this resolve. i am determined. Ace with the new mindset..."

end time 3:12

good nite all

I'm in a pretty good mood.

sup guys, iono who still reads my blog. lol cuz it's been about a month since i last wrote sumtin in here. i keep telling myself to write more stuff on my blogspot, but i never get around to it, or i get lazy, or don't feel like doing it, etc. but i really should write in more entries and stuff. wen i read other ppl.'s blogs, they have some really cool stuff in there, and i wanna share it with you guys, then maybe ppl. might actually read my blogspot more often. lol

anyways, a lot has happened since the last time i blogged. a month has passed, and so much has gone on, im not sure where to begin. so ima just type whatever comes to my head. so i made this quick list and i guess i'll expand on each of the following... hrm...this blog might turn out longer than what i expected. lol

1. clubbing at Tappas
2. The Improv
3. kyrie
4. family is really good
5. MOTP
6. UCC Rally
7. Helping out with mass
8. I am wowed rite now
9. longboarding
10. speaking with passion

1) so i know blogging about Tappas clubbing is long overdue, but yes, i shall blog about it. It was a lot of fun. seriously. Steve definetly made the night too man. It was practically a Smore hang out plus Steve and it was hella tite man. i luved it. my second time clubbin' and i just had a good time. a lotta sweaty ppl. hot environment, drunkards, u know how that goes, but it was all fun tho. let me tell u guys sumtin, Steve Forton knows how to dance, and he was battle this one guy that can pop really well too, and steve held his own, and then Kaba ppl showed up. and then we smores felt really kool for a couple of minutes. lol. cuz we started up a battle cirlce that ended up having kaba ppl. in there. haha. but in the end, we started our own dance cirlce again, and it was just kool. in the end, with the last song, we had a train line and just ended the nite, it was kool. i also felt like i learned sumtin. im not sure, but i felt like someone was teaching me sumtin on what i can do on the dancefloor, wuts acceptable and how far i can go... etc. like...iono how to describe it... but i don't think i'd be kool if i described it in a public blog, maybe ask me in person about this topic. lol.... anyway moving on! next subject we got to check out a nice viewpoint with Ronneza's exp. and good sense of direction. It was a beautiful, and cool night air with the stars shining brightly in the sky and the city lights down below us. it was just wonderful to look at, made u feel kinda powerful looking down upon the city, made u feel tall and known. haha. all in all, it was a good nite. even tho most of us had class the next day, we ddin't care. we just went out and came home late and just did our thing before school started. It was just AWESOME. a great nite to remember.

2)Steve also took some of us Smore's out to the Improv. and it was a lotta fun. man, i needed the good laff. such fun with virgin funny named drinks. srsly man, without mr. forton, the smore hang outs wouldn't have ever happend. we owe u one man. The Improv would also make a great date too. im definitely gonna hav to go bak there someday.... someday... *looks off in the sky... my eyes glaze over. a hopeful smile twinkles on ace's face.* lol sry, that was hella random

3)So apart from LOG, i've found and decided to become active in Kyrie. it has been a lotta fun, and made a lot of great new friends. there really is so much to learn from each of the varying catholic communities on campus. how we worship in different ways and the differences among the communities is quite intersting to observe and experience first hand. im kinda surprised that not many of us (catholics at uci that is) branch off and become more active in more than just one club. i feel like most of us (such as myself) become too complacent with where we are at, and don't want to experience and try new scenarios and things. i also feel like Race shouldn't be a factor in branching out to another community. There should be no such boundaries when it comes to praising God. u know? so i highly encourage everyone to just go out there and check out another catholic club besides the one you are already in!

4) i know i probably say this over and over... but i LOVE my family. they are so awesome, they support me so much. I don't think people close to me understand or realize how much my family supports me and encourages me. i dont' know where'd i'd be without God and Them. i am truly blessed, and i feel like i don't tell/show it enuf. if i ever have anyone to fall back on, it's God and my family. I always feel welcome and included with my family, not matter the age difference. i hang out with they're friends who are a couple of years older than me, and i feel accepted, and wanted. the feeling is irriplaceable. My parents also give me all sorts of medicine whether im sick or not, it's kinda like they're way of showing they love me even tho they dont' explicitly say it. i know my parent's and that's how they are. i seriuosly have bottle of medicine and herbs, and pills and juices and etc. and i forget what good they do for me, what am i suppose to use it for and how i am even suppose to use it. lol. but that's my parents and i know they love me. : D My siblings seriously support me so much, as in financially, emotionally, physically, mentally. the works man. they're like the whole package of awesomeness. they buy me food, giv me money to spend and hav fun with. invite me to the fun stuff they do, so that way i don't burn out frm school shizz and then some! Physical, mental, and economical support. and i can't thank them enuf for that. luv u guys! = D

5) MOTP(mass on the plaza) was really good, although i felt like i didn't do much/didn't put in as much effort as everyone else did, it still managed to turn out as a success. i heard there is even new talk of Interfaith getting a new building because of how great MOTP was. i hope all things go well. Mad props to UCC u guys did a lot and did a great job. all that hard work paid off eh? and MOTP Choir, so freaking talented man, i wish i was musically talented like u guys... im not sure if i have the time to learn how to play all the kool stuff u guys do, but maybe someday... i'll pick an instrument up and learn it.

6) Since i felt like Huan and I had the easier end of the stick with MOTP, I asked Huan if he was kool to back me up with coordinating UCC Rally. i knew i couldn't have done this alone. I definitely needed someone to spotcheck me. and it just so turns out that huan made an excellent partner in planning this rally. he really backed me up sooooo much with the planning and coordinating of everything. iono how the rally or I would've turned out by the nite it all went down. the rally coulda been like crap, and i coulda been hella stressed out. rofl.

So Huan and I were shooting for the stars with this rally, we were planning for 150+ ppl. to show up, but it ends up being about only approx. 50 ppl. lol. oh wellz. we both wanted it to be a really good turn out (which it was) but a good turn out as in it being a big rally with tons of ppl. out there i the crowd making noise jumping up n down sprit rally kinda thing. that's wut i was hoping for. but it's all good. we still had a fun filled spiritual nite. it was really dope. It still turned out to be a lotta fun even tho it wasn't what Huan and i expected. also... Huan and i have a confession to make... lol

we did a lot of last min. planning. like... on the spot planning, and with God's will, it just happend to work out. not sure how, but check this out. Huan and i planned so much... like weeks in advance. so Huan and i plan out with all the activites, moods, and transitions set. but what we didn't know was where HSLH was at. lol, so Huan knows it's across campus near Sci. Library. we go in and we plan for this rally in a totally different building (i think it was PSLH) LOL. so the nite of, Huan and i find out that we were planning a rally for a toally diff. building, and that taolly changed up position of choir, groups discussion numbers, booth for nametags. etc. so we did some mad scrambling, last minute copies with JPC. rosary ppl. for LOG. and there was just this that and the other, but for some reason, things worked out well.

just some future advice for others, and maybe myself next year, plan better with more specific activities. don't hav it during midterms week... and make sure you are planning this for the right room. lolz. i also felt like some groups weren't well represeted for at the UCC Rally. like... one catholic community had more support and more members show up than the other catholic community. i really wanted a lotta support and a lotta ppl. but i guess u can't hope too big if not everyone is down. u know? iono, let's just hope things are better next year. do i plan on doing rally again next year? lets' keep that as a BIG MAYBE ???

7) so helping out with 6:30 mass has been going okay. it's not that bad, but i know when there is holy days of obligatoin, or when i have to use the incents... i might fail. lol. iono man. im scared that ima mess up or hit someone in the head or sumtin. lol. I kinda don't like that fact that i have an obligation to show up really early for mass... i mean. don't get me wrong, i LOVE to serve the Lord, and what better way to do it than help serve for mass, but what about holiday's that i want to spend with my fam. bak at home for the weekend? or what about have the flexability to go to noon mass if i have something planned at 6:30 etc. iono man. i don't like that fact that im bound to something that's hard to get out of, and they way i see this, is that im going to have to do this for the next three years almost every sunday until i graduate... i mean, i have grown so much as in respecting mass more and i like what i do, but ti's just the fact that i have this obligation to do this. i needa just shut the eff up and deal with it tho. argh. iono man. i fee like i should stop whining like a lil B and just take up this cross and do it. because i know i can. iono man. i dun really know wut else to say. ah wuteverszzzz..... next topic

8) Dang... so like... i am like Wow'd rite now. My curiosity has definitely been sparked. it makes me wonder... Do you guys ever have this happen to u?: What you are just minding you own business doing you daily activities, a certain idea or thought constantly pops into your head and you just daydream about it for a while. and it constantly pops up throughout the day... the same thought/idea. where it affects the way you feel, your mood, the amount you eat. etc? do you/have you ever felt this way?

i am seriously doing my best not to get my hopes up, but i cant' stop thinking about it. i just... i think i'll leave it at that... ;-) = D

9) so i have made up my mind, i definetly want a longboard, and i want to learn how to ride one. My mind is made up... seriously. one i see something i like... i gotta have it man. i see those guys on longboards at school and i feel so jealous at how fast they zoom by me. and they look so kool doing it too! lol. i think i dreamt a couple of days ago that i was longboarding on campus, it was deserted, no one was there. i had my dark jeans, a blue V neck, and y aviators. i had a sector nine longboard, and i was bouncing on it across the bridge in front of interfatih before brandywine. i was carving up rind road and everything. and then i turn around and u know that backway behind ELH that ramp that leads downt to ET and ICS. i went down there, but i bent my knees on the long board and i wash inches off the groudn and carving up the road.

man... i wanna do that. lol. i wanna b able to do that. i wanna look cool and carve up ring road! snapz son. how cool would that be? haha

10) so just reccently, Joyce said soemthing to me that applies to me, that i didn't realize myself. i remember her exact words. she said "you know wut i noticed about the way you talk ace?" Me: "Whatya notice?" Joyce: "Everytime you talk, you always talk very passionately"

and that stament got me thinking. and i think i do speak that way. (not writing tho. as you can tell, i don't write very passionately) but i do feel like i speak with passion to help get my message and tone across. i just never noticed it until joyce mentioned it to me. i felt like i knew myself all too well... but i guess there are still areas about myself that i am not 100% on... haha figures eh?

well, if you read this whole blog in it's entirety. i salute u. lol you are defintely a trooper. : P but uh... yeah, i think this took ma couple of hours to write, maybe about 2 and a half hrs. to type this up. (wiht a few breaks of course) in any case. i hope that whoever is readin this has a blessed night, and hopefully i didn't waste ur time. i'll try to write more in smaller chunks instead of great big chunks (i think the reason why i do this type of blog style is because it's the way i do hw. i do hw wth big blocks of hrs. it's just my style i guess. heeh)

good night world, it's time i get some sleep

End time: 3:57 am. 26 October 2008

It's Smore Time

Wow... it's been a while since' i've written here. i somewhat miss it to be honest. hehe.

In any case. much has happend since the last time i wrote on this site. A long long time. hehe. in any case. i've been doing alrite. It just hit me that school is about to start, and i am not down with that at all. I'm gonna be a sophomore again. feels so diff. than high school. haha. Just to let you all know, im writing very randomly and whatever comes to the top of my head, so sorry if my paragraphs aren't so cohesive.

I don't really plan on catching u all up with EVERYTHING that i've dun since the past entry, or it'll be more than ten pages long. haha. but i do wanna mention a couple of things on my mind here and there. What really moved to to write on my blogspot again was because i was reading Steve's blogspot. what he wrote down was really touching, and it made me want to do that again. It made me somewhat miss my blogspot. hehe

I'm still somewhat uncertain if i filled my plate too quickly. if i have too many responsibilities that i signed up for too soon. i'll see how things unfold with God's will, but i just hope that i stay strong and that i continue to do well with my responsiblities

LOG summer retreat was pretty cool. although i did miss out on some fun stuff, i don't regret going tot he retreat or anything. i was expecting certain ppl. to go to the retreat, but things happen, and it's all gewd. Unlike school starting up, i am more excited for Liwanag than my academic year. lol. i kinda don't wanna take my classes, but who knows. i might come to like them, and i am very excited to grow in my faith more and learn more and meet great and exciting new ppl.

UCC core has been going alrite. I hope things work out, i just worry if i'll b able to juggle all my responsibilites well. im praying on that. I'm hoping for the best for MOTP

I'm not entirely sure what is best for me, like... should i take up a minor and do summer school, or should i just intern over the summer and get a bit of cash and real life business world experience. What would make me look better? a minor? or experience in a company? lol. i should as an academic advisor.

i used to feel like i new what was right and wrong, lately, i feel like i've been in the borderline gray areas of life, and im being tested. What to do? how to act?. wut to say? Everything in life matters,and all your actions eventually lead to something down the line that affects something else that effects something else. It's that cycle of life man. i think im thinking to much. like a philospoher. Ace the philosopher... has a nice ring to it doesn't it? lol

so i made a new sn... although i hav not publically released it.... im not sure why i havne't told anyone yet. i suppose it's because im somewhat embarassed either that or too lazy to contact everyone on my buddy list that i hav a new sn. lol my new sn is my alias if i were ever to become a DJ or if i were ever to have my own dancing crew or sumtin like that. lol... *cough cough* anyways, yeah, me and my high hopes, dreams and imagination.

i just reccently found out that my uncle eric died two days ago, i think he had TB. my dad has been really bummed out. i tried calling my dad, and he hasn't picked up. i wanted to console my father, but i just don't know what to say, all i feel like i can really do is just pray for him. i wouldn't know wut to say to my dad. i hardly remember him. the sad part is that im not sure if i've even met uncle eric or not. he was in the phillipines wen he passed away. i can't remember if i saw him or not. i can't properly match a face with a name rite now. i hav a guess of which person i saw in the phillipines bak 8 yrs ago. i hope my dad's doing alrite. i sed an intention today at sunday mass for my uncle eric. i really hope my dad's okay. i heard he was totally bummed. im still kinda hesitant to call my dad and ask how he's doing. i think i'd freeze in what to say... *sigh* it's hard to approach something like this for me esp. wen it's a fam memeber im not too close to. I feel sad, but i kinda don't cuz i wasn't close to uncle eric. so im not really too sure how to act upon this all... May he rest in Peace.

I think tha'ts all for tonight, i actually wrote a lot eh? i didn't think iwould. haha. ima b boothing it up for MOTP and for da LOG booth. lets go meet new ppl and hav a gewd time tomorrow! im waking up early at seven am. : / o wellz. i'll deal wit it. nite yall

*Curse words and more not so nice things*

*Sigh* sry about that everyone. I've just had a few things that have happend since the last time i wrote a blog. It's been pretty eventful to say the least. Lots of things have happened that have made me either sad, angry, and have cuase me to reach my 'cussing ace mode.' my temper and gotten the best of me once again. well, bear with me for a moment and we'll get to the good stuff in a bit. I'm going to make an attempt to write down the things that have happened in chronological order.

WARNING: if you don't wanna hear my whine and complain and me and my life, feel free to skit down ahead to the next number 1. You can skip the emo stuff i write. that's where the not so boring stuff is at.

1. Once again, i have another issue with Financial aid. dang man... seriously? when is it all going to end? i hate it. So i've been checking and continously logging on to my financial aid to see if anything was wrong. All seemed well, one day, i happend to come across my sumer session payments and it says that i haven't paid for my summer session classes. now at this point in time, i knew i paid my 364 dollars. so i check out the cashiers office in person to ask what's the deal. they said that my financial aid is on hold... once again. due to the fact that i am in debt. around 3k to b exact. ($3000) So with my financial aid on hold, the portion the financial aid is paying for my summer tuition (approx. 1000) isn't being paid for. I was soooo angry. i was on the verge of tears. i really didn't know anything about that. i was two months late on my payments. so i have more to pay off aswell. they claim that i was suppose to have paid the money back two months ago. why i wasn't informed of this at the financial aid website? I have no clue. They said it was shown on my Zot Bill account that everything was Not Fine. So why exactly am i in debt for 3k u ask? this is the situation. i was getting loan money, and financial aid was sending my parents a check every month. with a change in financial aid, they were suppose to stop sending loan money to my parents. It takes a while for the ppl. who send out the checks to get the memo and stop sending out the checks. so therefore, my dad was suppose to have returned the checks rite away. a few months later, next thing u know. im in debt for about 3k. : / so the bad news for me is that all the money im working for over the summer with GSA. all that extra cash i had in mind of spending on some nice clothes at H&M, a nice black pair of denim jeans, my own printer, or even that Creative Zen mp3player i had my eyes on *sound of toilet flushing* So i got really mad about that and i ended up cussing out uci financial aid in my head. but there's an upside to things. i ended up getting a payment plan, i pay sixhundred as a downpayment, and twohundred twelve dollars a month. so hopefully things work out. it's just that if i slack off for one month without payment... im doomed and financial aid is on hold all over again. so that's why i wanna use some of my GSA money to get my outta that debt. hopefully things all run smoothly. im sorry for boring u wiht that hella long story. movin on!
2. At ate May's b-day party at the bowling ally, i saw Ate monique there. Ate monique is a really awesome person. she is my sister's ex-boss. but she kinda became a really great family friend. and ate may and i good friend aswell. so at the bowling ally, nearing the end of the night, i happen to be in between ate monique and my mom. i was cutting cake getting ready to pass it out to ppl. my mom looks over to me and goes(in tagalog) "so where is this girlfriend of yours at Ace? Why aren't you introducing her to me yet?" and in my head, im just like... "busted!" ^&#* ^$% *(^$&@! lol. anyway. i look at ate monique to my left, and try my best to play it off "wut girlfriend mom?" blah blah blah. iono if she bought it. good thing joyce wasn't there, or else things would have been really obvious. So im pretty sure Ate Monique told my mom about my gf... and i wasnt' too happy about that. Im not sure if Ate Monique slipped the secret out or if she just told my mom offhand and casually. but in any case. im sure my mom is more suspicious of me than ever. It's just that ate may and i trust in ate monique to keep stuff like that on the downlow. and when stuff like this happebns, it makes us not want to open up with her anymore. u know? oh.. and just in case of some of you ppl. reading this who is lost. my parent's don't know about my gf. they would say something along the lines of "your grades will drop and you should focuus more on you studies. a gf will cost lots of money etc." iono. if u got flip parent's im sure u feel me on that one. but what im more worried about is how my dad will take it. I think i'd b more comfortable letting my mom know that i have a gf that my dad. i think it's cuz i have this feeling that my mom will take it more positivly and my dad might take it as more of a neautral feeling or negative thing... so iono. i was talking wtih John and Ate Ann and they said that i should just come clean already and tell my parents. im not sure what to do. but im considering telling them already next time i come home and see them.
3. Accounting minor is a no-no for me. lol. my summer session one class was mgmt 30A. it had accounting in there, and it looked hella tuff. i was not down to learn all that. i dun think i could even try to. lol. so i dropped that class and it made my summer session one a lot more flexible and free. : ) it's just that bad thing is that i dropped a class, and i was hella worried about it before. and the accounting book was 177 bux man! that's "ridonckulous" as a couple of my fellow loggers would say. lol. so as of rite now, im looking for another type of minor. maybe managment? who knows? now im just worried about my summer session2 classes with eight units. i hope things will go smoothly.
4. so this incident made me cry. i was soooo frustrated. i got really really mad today. my final grade for classics mythology is a D. argh.... for some unknown reason, there is no hardcopy of my final. i took the final and everything. i studied soo hard for it too. i talked with my proff. and let's just say our emails back and forth with each other didn't end well. so im not sure what to do. ima try to ask someone in the classics dept. who has higher authority or somehting. iono what to do. im just kinda stuck. and i took the final. i know of it. so i have no idea why my paper isn't there. i just got soooo frustrated and angry. i hope i can find a solution.
5. a month ago, and a lil bit now. i was kinda worried about myself and time management. i was debating whether or not i filled my plate up too fast. in other words. im hellla busy. GSA is almost like a 24hr job. but there's good stuff about it that i'll explain later. i have UCC meeting to hit up on the weekends. and i have to do mass every sunday and i used to have four units for summer session one. so i was really juggling things around, but now that i dropped my class for session one, i think im doing okay. i am just having a hard time seeing joyce. It's really hard to see and spend time iwth each other with GSA and all. we miss each other very much. with my week off this week, we'll try to spend as much time as we can with each other.
6. Speaking of filling up my plate too fast, i am kinda worried about gaining weight. i've been eating at Pippin's for GSA, and im eating a loooooot. i mean a lot dude. i hope i don't gain weight. u guys let me know if i am okay? b honest too. i hope i maintain myself somehow. us RA's try to maintain oursleves by playing the sports and activities with the kids. hopefully that burns off enough to not gain weight. hehe

Now here starts the good and semi-funny stories. lol

1. Father's Day celebration was soooo fun. We went Long beach for father's day, went swimming, dad went fishing and caught mackrel. we bought some seafood along the pier and ate out. had fun as a whole family. i know this is late, but happy father's day dad. Speaking of spending time with my dad. i don't realy spend too much tiem with my dad. or even my mom on that matter. there just happens to be not a lot of thigns i can connect with my dad or do activities that we both share. but just reccently, i got back into Gunbound. oh man, it's been a really long time since i last played. and withing the past three weeks, i've been playing a lot. My dad really likes to watch me play gunbound on my laptop, i think my dad things the idea of gunboung and watching it is entertaining. and i kinda like having my dad watch over my shoulder and i play. It's one of the rare things my dad and i can enjoy doing togehter. : ) that made me really happy.
2. Another fun thing that happend reccently is when jen-a-to, Joyce, Johnson and I (i just noticed that im the only one with a J as a start of their name) went shopping for ate May's birthday present. We went to Spectrum and had a great time walking around and shopping for Ate. hehe. it was fun to hang out with johnson and jen-a-to. i hardly get to spend time with them. i esp. liked the way i wrapped ate may's present. i used newspaper. : p it looks hella ghetto, but i acutally looked deccent. i was most proud of myself. haha
3. so we went bowling for Ate may's b-day party, it was fun and we were loud as ussual. i scored pretty well that night. i got around the 160's or so. i was happy. and i ended up getting a starbux giftcard. : )
4. (Note: i considered putting this story at the top half of the list of bad things) Following that in continuation to ate's birthday, we went to Seaworld, the four siblings (including me) and John and Daisy. John is ate Ann's boyfriend and Daisy is a coworker of ate may. it was really really great day. lots of great shows and attractions. so much fun. so this was the best part of seaworld tho. well... not really the best part for me... but anyway. so this is what happened. we were sitting underneath a roof with spikes on it so that way birds dont stand on the ledges. all of us were eating a lunch buffet. i saw a lotta birds up above and they were still perched on the spikes. it looks like the spikes didnt stop teh birds from wanting a deccent meal. so as im talking and starting up convo, i ask everyone at the table "who's be pooped on by a bird before? be honest." some of us raised our hands, and so did i. im not kidding when i say less than 20 seconds later. i feel a big plog on my upper back. i ask ate may to check for me and sure enough, it was a hug round circle of bird poop. it was like... the size of both of ur hands attempting to make a circle. it was huuuuge! it's so crzy too because i was just talking about getting pooped on. lolz
5. What has also annoyed me reccently and has happend to me reccently is something that happens during the bathroom. Warning if you hav weak stomache's don't read the following bullet of number five. so during seaworld, i went to the bathroom, and i wet to pee in the stall next to some guy, i did the ussual male code and protocall. unzip, look straight ahead or atyourself only. don't look at the person next to u. etc. but what i didnt' like is that i was wearing flip flops. and i think i felt some urine platter on my foot a lil bit. it was just some small drops. but i was hella grossed out and i can't tell if it was either me or him that splattered on my foot a bit. it wasn't a lot tho! it was a small 'drizzle' so to speak. i mean, that is definately a con to wearing flipflops during the summer. some pro are my feet getting darking. bye bye sock tan. : ) hhaha. and yeah... well anyway, i just wanted to say that yeah, that incident really grossed me out and i've accidentally done the same thing to myself a couple of times already... okay, i've sed enuf. moving on! lol
6. so GSA is one of the highlighs of my summer. it's really awesome. although i won't b using my money for myself, i am getting free meals for five weeks, parking, and i get to have some fun with the kids. it's really awesome. spending time and bonding with them is sooo much fun. there are a lot of really gifted students at GSA. i wish i was as talented as they were when i was a kid. some could play the guitar already, fluently speak a second language, and an infinite imagination. i like playing hte activities we set up for them, and what i like most of all is that fact that i see some of their faces, and how happy they are to be a part of GSA. it is really rewarding all on it's own. it's so wonderful. it makes you feel like you accomplished something other than a paycheck. hehe. I also enjoy working with all of the GSA crew. i knew Angie, Juliene, and Brentz frm LOG. but i also met chris, alex, guanying, rosanna, jason, and daniel. i really enjoy working with them all.
7. So i have two stories about GSA that i'd like to share real quick. this one is a kinda scary story. So there was this one kid, who was kinda weird, he acted really funny. he'd always be lying down on the floor. and stuff. but he's really cool and smart kid. he really grew on me as the my first week of GSA went by. but when it was the last day of GSA and the parents were getting ready to pick up their kids, i was waiting and hanging out with this kid, and we start to talk for a bit, i ask him how he liked GSA and what's his fav. part. etc. then the kid goes "i really like this place. i don't wanna leave.... Could i got get a knife when my mom gets here?" and i am kinda shocked here and i go "wut?! why wouldn u say that?" and the kid goes "Because i hate her." so im a lil freaked out so i go "oh don't say that man. and i walk away." when his mother comes to pick him up, he picks up his small bag and starts hitting his mother with it and yells, get a knife, get the knife. All the RA's tell him to put the bad down and to stop doing that. he stopped immediately but, i just wondered what happend to him after he go home, or during the car ride. i was really scared for him at that point in time.
8. so my other story has to do with duties. for GSA, we are suppose to do a certain amount of duties generally speaking it's about 8 duties per week. so now, Daniel, the head RA tells us of this tradition that they always do every thursday night. Poker Nite. We all bet 1 duty into the pot. 1st place gets five duties off, 2nd gets 3 duties off. so for example, if there are eight players wanting to play, there are eight duties up for grabs. if you participate and lose at the poker tournament, you have to do nine duties. instead of eight. now... it was really fun. texas holdem style. oh man... i got sooo lucky. i won for a bit, lost some, then i came bak and won the game. first place! woot. i was sooo happy. i think i got begginners luck or sumtin. haha it was pretty intense, my heart was beating sooo loudly. Brentz gave me some advice before playing on how to bet properly. so i owe him some of the credit for winning. thx brentz! i coulnd't have done it without u!
9. so this saturday, i went to Roscoe's chicken and Waffles in Long Beach to celebrate John's birhtday. lotta fun man. such good food. sould food rocks man. haha, i got to meet John's parents too. they are a wonderful couple. they are great company. very funny ppl. haha. make me laff. so afterwards, we all went to the beach, the four sibs. my cousin edrik frm the filipinas, janette (john's sister) and Pat, a friend. we swam, snacked, tossed the football, had fun with a bit of dodgeball, more swimming. it was just a good day all in all. we followed it up with a movie. we watche Wall-E and ate panda express afterwards. it was such a great day : D i was really happy that day. And with the combinations of all the beach days and GSA stuff, i've gotten hella dark man. lol. every keeps telling me that i got darker.
10. So there are a couple of things that im really excited for that is coming up. One of them is fourth of July. oh yeah! it like... tradition that we go to JR's place and watch the fireworks. they always have a party every year. tito and JR go to vegas every year before fourth of july and buy all the 'good' (wink-wink) fireworks. and theres always lots of food. so im really looking forward to that. i have four more GSA weeks to go! woot. GSA rocks. i luv working for GSA haha. i can't wait to start again. and there are Summer LOG meetings and i heard there's a summer retreat. im so excited! woot woot! i also wanted to mention that it is Slim-0's birthday coming up and so is Johnson's my two best friends! WOOT! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUYS. so hella excited about that. hopefully they have a wonderful birhtday, and im excited to give them presents and hang out with them in general. hehe.

so i think i've written enuf for today. maybe i'll write some more later. it's pretty late rite now. and i hella sleepy. i'll edit this later... that is... if i feel like it anyway. haha. have a good nite all. thx for readin'!

Finals Aftermath

So, as ussual, i got a lot to write. lol

Note: this title is a bit decieving mainly because some of the things i will be writing is before/during finals lol.

let's see, where to begin...

1. So there was this one time when mark and i were chillin in CSL, and he stands up, and i whisper. "where u goin bro?" and he shakes his fist around his crotch area! i was like "ewww!" rofl. freaking mark man. oh but seriuosly, that foo's a trooper. he had so many hard finals to take care of and he got sick with a headache and everything. so cheers to him.
2. Iron man was hella dope. lol i know im writing about this all late and stuff. but yeah. one of the best super hero movies yet. it had really good comedy and action. unlike spiderman with all this mixed emotions ur getting from the film. im sorry kuya sonny (my brother who's really into superman.) but i felt like superman movie was alrite, the action wasn't cool enuf for me tho. : / lol. anywayz moving along
3. Joyce gave me another wonderful looking haircut. this time it took a little faster compared to the two hr. haircut like before. hahaha
4. okay... so i dun like it when i see ppl. on campus that look like ppl. i know. or they dress exactly like the person i know. lol like... for example. i've seen this girl on campus that looks sooooo similar to Janice Loi. seriously. almost same backpack and clothing style. haha. and i saw this one mofo walking in front of my class dressed as Indiana Jones! dude... he had a whip and everything. it's either he's a lion tamer or he likes it kinky... : P and i think i saw a girl that looks like Teresa roque. it's interesting who u'll find on campus. haha
5. u know LOG spring banquet was rockin'! it was so much fun. roasting dumo was hilarious too. i like the look on his face. ahaha. hopefully he didn't get mad about wut i sed about him. iono. he seems to be sleeping across from me rite now. so i guess that's a good sign that we're still friends. hahahh.
6. One of the best parts about banquet was the dancing. joyce was soooo cute when she dances. seriously. it's funnie. altho she got tired of dancing much earlier than i did. : / we still tore up the dance floor. oh man... speaking of tearing up the dance floor. DUMO GOT HYPHY UP IN THIS BIZZ. rofl. dude man... i saw how dumo does it in the Bay. lolz that's tite man. oh so back to joyce's dancing. it's really cute cuz she was asking me tips on how to dance and stuff. and like. at first she just kinda like... shook her hips back and forth like a washing machine and her arms kinda follow suit but in an opposite rotation. hahah. so yeah. oh! and joyce and I surrounded Lennar and danced around him. : P lap dance style! rofl jk. but yeah. it was really fun. i think he got hella embarrassed. lennar put a handkerchief ove his face. haha joyce has a pic of it. i think jonas sent it to her.
7. It was really cool on the last LOG meeting. dang man... i wish i didn't have a class to go to. i missed out on what all the seniors said after mass. i walked in when Dean was just finishing up. dang man... i feel sad. i hope i can see the recording of all the seniors last LOG words and stuff. plz someone! give me a copy of the recording! thx. hahaah. anyway. afirmations was hella dope... we were up late like crzy tho. up till like... four o'clock for sum ppl. i know we were in Jack in the Cracks at 3 am. or left ICF at three am. and afterwards... poor Mel, he kinda hit up his axel on his solar. Brentz volunteered to go pick him up. and i wanted to come with him. i kinda wanted to affirm bretnz too cuz i hadn't yet. we talked about a lotta stuff also when we picked mel up. i got back to my car at six in the morning. and then i went to class at nine am. i only had an hr. of sleep. pretty crzy night. but i enjoyed it all in all.
8. So it kinda sux but... like. i mean, hearing gossip is inevitable. and i try not to gossip about ppl. i think i hardly do. but anyway. it kinda sux when you hear gossip about ppl. or u hear a story about someone and... they do sumtin that u dont normally see them do, and like... u change ur views about them. it kinda weird how u want to hear gossip, bu t at the same time, u don't wanna hear about it. : / oh wellz. i try not to judge them. it's easier sed than dun. but yeah... try...
9. hrm... so i thought this was pretty interesting... this guy i saw walking on campus was dressed all emo. emo clothes with the sunglasses and everything. he was styling it. but the weird thing about his outfit were these tight emo green pants. it was like... a forest green color too. lol it was hella... "interesting" lol. that's all i can say about that. i heard some LOG girls talking about emo tight pants. (i won't mention who the girls were) and they kinda had differing opinions. one sed she liked hella tite pants on a guy. where u can see curves. they just dont wanna see like... really tite crotch area where it's all hanging out and stuff. and the other girl said she doens't like really tight girl pants on guys. it looks wrong. she likes nicely fitted pants on guys. so... i wonder what the morjority of women like tho. lol do they like emo tite? or fitted? or loose? rite now im interested in buying a nice black pair of fitted jeans. wut do u think? maybe i'll get sum emo tite ones. rofl jk.
10. OH MAN! this was hilarious. sooo check this out. funnie story. so i was studying for Soc. Sci 3A final that night. and i Oanh was in the backroom with joyce and i studying at Interfaith. so i was hella stressed out. and as Oanh was leaving she goes "good luck with ur final Ace!" and i go "thanks baby!" and joyce was just next to me... ROFL. so embarassing. i coulnd't look at Oanh. i just turned around and laffed myself as i folded my arms and stuck my head on the desk. oh man.... so hilarious. well my explination for that story is that joyce is teh only one who wishes me goodluck rite before i take the final. so it just kinda came out naturally! lol. anyway...
11. So i was pinching joyce's ear lightly, and she goes. u know that ears don't have nerve endings. that's why it doesn't hurt. so i pinch harder on her ear and she immediately goes "ow ow ow! i have nerve endings!!!" rofl. oh man. u have to be there to laff at her... i
12. so i was talking to joycce online, and she types the word "magikarp" and i sooo thought it was a tagalog word. and i really looked at it for a while and realized she was refering to a pokemon. rofl
13. so like... i asked my three other wonderful siblings if i was getting too skinny. Ate May and Kuya Sonny both said i was getting a bit too skinny. ate ann thinks im alrite. i know my parents think im too skinny tho. : / well in any case. i told my mom. "if u want me to get bigger, i'll lift more weights. lol my dad was laffing. so it's kinda my goal to beef up a bit. i wanna be like Will Sapigao. mr. 300 model. lolz. so yeah. BEEFY!!! lol
14. oh man... and this was pretty hilarious too. so joyce said to me "i feel like arcing it again." (in other words, she wanted to go work out at the ARC) and i respond "okay... but...but...*sniff* if u keep going to the gym and working out, ur butt will shirnk!" lolz. then i realized that i typed it in the wrong box. it was charlene's box. and she goes "what?! What?! what does taht have to do with studying?" ROFL. oh man. that was sooooo embarassing. but hilarious. hahaha im so lame-butt sumtimes. haha

anyway. i hoped u enjoyed reading my extremely long entry more to come next time. and a long blog soon. hahha. oh, and i almost forgot, finals went okay. i think i did well. haha one more final to go. writing class yeah! haha. in class essay. so im looking forward to the weekend. martin's grad over the weekend. and i know a couple of awesome HS ppl. who are graduating. i might go to thier graduation. thx to jeff-0 hooking it up with a tix. thx man. maybe i'll see u all there. ahha
