Month: June 2006

  • Hey all.


    ::pouts:: I miss Aiion.  :[


    Mmph.  Yesterday was interesting for me.  My parents woke me up at 11 and we headed straight to Jackson Rancheria Indian Casino and then drove two hours to San Jose to drop off my mom, and drove two hours back.  Indeed, we only spent a literal five minutes there.  I wonder about us sometimes.


    Have you ever had that feeling where you just cry, and you don't know why, but you just can't stop crying?  It's this weird pain, sometimes.  Are you crying purely for yourself and your woes, or is it for everyone else whose lives are far bigger than any idea, but you can't do anything about them and their pain?  But you don't know, because it wasn't in your power to start crying in the first place... you just did.  Is it really for no reason?  Or is it for every reason in the world?


    Yeah.  I had a strange dream last night.  There was a march, and a woman without a right hand -- there was a colorful handkerchief in its place.  The bathroom, strangely, is a recurring setting for my dreams, and I met an old friend there who was in a fight with his sweetheart, and I tried to care for him, only for myself to be left alone.  My own sweetheart was in tremendous pain, causing him to scream in torture, and I tried to soothe him and hold him and kiss him, only to walk away at the moment of his recovery.


    The dream never involved me crying, during or after, but it seemed to emit that idea, and that feeling of crying and not knowing why.  It was the oddest thing.


    Hrm.


    Today's lesson: Just as there is always light present in darkness and darkness in light, in order to believe in faith, hope, and dreams, there must always be doubt.


    life is sweet; it's a perfect dream


    Bye for now.

  • Dear Phuc,


    Happy 28th. <3


    xD

  • Hey all,


    Things have been wheeoooOoooOoo on my side.


    Yesterday, headed to San Jose and hung with Lisa, Ashley, Chocolate, Adbel, and Alyce like I promised them I would.  We ate at Red Robin, and then headed to downtown where we visited the Art Museum, which I really enjoyed.  There was an exhibit called "Listening Post" in which the words typed every moment in chat rooms were added onto this huge electronic wall of words and were each said aloud, resulting what the internet sounds like.  It was pretty cool.  We then took a trip to the Great Mall, where Ashley would be picked up, and just hung out in the theatre.. area.  Ice cream for 3.75!  >.<;; So expensive, but I bought it nonetheless. A bit of drama ensued, but regardless, it was all good.


    I've been catching up on the world of entertainment after my non-watching movies lifestyle because of all this free time during summer and the fact that I don't really wanna do homework.  So far, I've watched King Kong, Kicking and Screaming, Bewitched, A Family (which made me cry so bad!), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Wallace and Gromit (those bunnies were beautiful).  Whee.


    Have a good day, y'all.  xD


    Today's lesson: People don't listen -- they just wait for their turn to talk.  (courtesy of the Ashley Trujillo)


    tell me, did you sail across the sun?  did you make it to the milky way to see the lights are faded, and that heaven is overrated?


    Bye for now.

  • For every reason in the world, this is for Chocolate, who will never read this, unless someone cares enough to show him.  I'm sorry for the way things are turning.  For both of us.


    Tell her not to go
    I ain't holding on no more
    Tell her something in my mind freezes up from time to time


    Tell her not to cry
    I just got scared that's all
    Tell her I'll be by her side, all she has to do is call


    Tell her the chips are down
    I drank too much and shouted it aloud
    Tell her something in my heart
    Needs her more than even clowns need the laughter of the crowd


    Tell her what was wrong
    I sometimes think to much
    But say nothing at all
    And tell her from this high terrain, I am ready now to fall


    Tell her not to go
    I ain't holding on no more
    Tell her something in my mind
    Freezes up from time to time.

  • Hey all,

    Shout outs (that's right.  i typed "shout outs") to Daniel and Joeve!  :] Happy 22th of June!  Whooo!

    You will all be happy to know that Ed is safe and sound, and off the roof!  I'm still not sure how it happened, but she's now a peaceful ground-dweller.  I started brushing her with the brush I got her for her birthday, and she uber loves it.  Like this much.  :]

    I've been absolutely addicted to the Harvest Moon series as of late.  Like it's overwhelmed my schedule that was once to do homework and exercise, and has filled all my hours with raising cows and sheep and itty bitty chickens.

    It's been pretty hot in Sacramento to bizarre amounts, the daily highs being three digits everyday.  :[  I've been dying!  Me and my hick house doesn't have central air conditioning, so I've been getting by with a fan and all the ice cream in the world.  Regardless of that downside of summer, an upside is that I've still been able to talk to Phuc and uber bond!  He always tends to make me feel very warm inside.

    On another note, I've been having bizarre dreams lately.  For instance, last night, I dreamt that I was in my old San Jose house and I was fighting evil in the bathroom and my sister murdered me.  Mmph.

    Yes, this was a bit of an unproductive entry.  It's allll good.  xD

    Today's lesson: It's okay to not believe in yourself every now and then.  As long as someone does, you'll be alright.

    but i can't remember life without him

    Bye for now.

  • Happy belated father's day, world.

  • Hey!


    Ed has been stuck on the roof since yesterday afternoon.  Rather, it's complex.  She whines and whines to come down, but when actually given the opportunity, she's too wussy to make a jump and she dislikes being carried.  We left a ladder up there, and she took a mad long time to climb down it this morning, and all just so she could climb the tree and wander onto the roof all over again. After a lot of struggle and the calls of, "Come down Ed/Chickadee/Checkers!" (each of my parents and i seem to all have a different name for her) we gave her some food and went to Target, and I bought her the belated birthday presents of a pillow and a brush.


    If only she'd come down to use them.  >.<;;


    I've gots drama, but that's a story for another day.  Unless I don't feel like typing it all out.


    Today's lesson: Persistance is key -- until it's finally time to back off.  Sometimes, it's not giving up.  It's letting go.


    i think about it every night and day.. spread my wings and fly away


    Bye for now.

  • Heyy!


    Whoa.  I went on a walk/journey to mail things today, and there was a puppy involved.  My neighbor's black puppy followed me around, and it was all fine, until I had to go back home, where my loyal cat was waiting outside the gate.  I'm sure she didn't suspect me bringing a dog home with me, so she was just mellowing out and grooming herself.  I immediately ran at her, threw her over my shoulder, and I ran like lightning into the house while the dog was growling and Ed was clawing at me to have a go at the dog.  The dog waited outside and Ed was looking at him from the inside, and I stayed out there for half an hour making sure no dirty fighting happened.  Hahah.  Indeed, that's today's adventure.


    MMPH!  On a mushy note, Phuc came to visit me yesterday!!  I remember practically dying at the thought of not seeing him at all over summer, but he spoils me and makes sure I'm not bummed out like that.  :D


    Oh!  I (tried to) make cheese and broccoli soup, and it turned out horribly.  >.>;;  I thought that was worth mention.


    I'll drop by again.  See youuu for now.


    Today's lesson: Running is not the answer.


    my heart is yours to fill or burst


    Bye for now.

  • Heyy.


    Oh oh--Happy belated one year birthday to my cat, Ed!!


     


     


     


     


     


    <--that's her. =]


     


     


    The Visitors-From-Las-Vegas plot thickens.  This morning, we picked them up from a wedding in Vallejo, and my dad and me wanted to show them the sights while they were in Sacramento--sights we haven't even seen ourselves.  Hahah.  So today, I got the closest I've ever gotten to the State Capitol Building and crossed the Sacramento Bridge for the first time, with the added bonus of me waving to the tourists, and the little children being nice enough to wave back.  Later, when my mom gets home from work, we're planning to eat at Elephant Bar across from Arden Mall.  That should be fun.


    The guest room that we arranged for them has a bigger bed than mine.  Growl.  You all can fully expect for me to cozy up in that room once they go back to Las Vegas.


    An interesting subplot is that on the way back from Vallejo, Tito Ernesto was ranting off to me about his recommendation for me to be a nurse because it A) is easier than being a doctor while still making moolah with less years of college and B) gives me a bigger chance of marrying in my own race. 


    A.  I asked Tito Ernesto what brought up the topic in the first place, and he explained that my dad told him about my "dream job of being a doctor."  That's how Dad described it?  My dream job?  More like his dream job for me. 
    No one mentioned a single thing about me helping people, which was my initial engine to be all for the career.  So when my parents talked hours on to me about me buying them nice houses and what Jobs 'O' Medicine would give me the largest paycheck with the least effort, and never mentioned my old ambitions to heal and help, and with all of you knowing my personality, that was a big turn-off for me.  So "Doctor" is now this big taboo obstacle to me chasing my still-a-mystery career.  Boo.  Maybe if things happened just a little differently, then I wouldn't have to scowl at UC Davis every time I passed by it.
    You'd think that after a numerous number of sobbing, "That's not my dream!  I don't even want to be a doctor!  This was all your plan, not mine!  Why can't you let me decide what I want to do rather than pressuring me?!"s, they'd get the hint.  I guess not.


    B.  My dad told me about how couples are so unbearingly unhappy and are fated to divorce (not exact words, but if you were there, that's the idea you'd get) when Filipinos don't marry fellow Filipinos, which you can imagine is awkward for me to hear when dating an outstandingly charming Vietnamese young man.  Hmmph.  Be a little open-minded, I pray.  I understand that you want to pass on the Filipino blood, but arrr. 
    It's a little frustrating, as you can imagine.


    Just needed to pour that out.  There was this insect thing, but that's a story for another day.  Have fun, y'all.


    Today's lesson: No matter what everyone else says, your path is still your own.  Try to remember that.  Just try.


    you didn't have to do it, but you did it to say that you didn't have to do it, but you did anyway


    Bye for now.
