Nate's days off...

This byfar is the nicest weekend and days off ever. We didn't do much but I felt like we bonded and we're improving...baby steps...i know...but at least we're getting better...and I'm happy =) I had my very first pedicure ever in my life. We went to the Happy Nails close to his place and here's my conversation with this cute Vietnamese lady that did my nails:

Pedicure Lady (PL): How are you? *very soft voice, almost like breathing*
Me: uhmm...huh? *I was still kinda nervous cuz it was my first pedicure* Oh, I'm good...how are you?
PL: Fine *smiled and then looked down*
Then she did my nails with all of these 7-8 different types of lotion for about 20 minutes or so...with an occasional smiles...then she buffed my right feet's nails..

PL: You like? *pointing at the shiny nails that she just did*
Me: yeah, they're nice...
PL: Look at the difference *pointing the other nails that she hasn't buffed yet...*

...They are nice....

PL: You want manicure?
Me: Oh, no thank you....

So then I found out that Nate spent $20 for my nails...I told him I won't do it again...it's not worth it..but it was a really good experience...thanks, Bong!

Lily's wedding

It was really nice to see one of my closest friends getting married...the wedding was nice overall...it was a good amount of crowd. And most of all, it was nice because I get to see all of my old friends at the same time....being that we're busy with our own lives, we always got to hang out with one another but not like Lily's wedding...all of us were there to celebrate her happiest day. I'm just glad that I am a part of it. Not to mention I got the Garter too! LoL...it was fun...and then Doris got the Bouquet...we took lotsa crazy pictures...

Me & Doris posing after I got the garter and she got the bouquet

"wait...I should get the bouquet..."

"we're trying to do Corona's ad"

"Oh so gay"

Me and Tinia before the ceremony...

The guys...

YES...I'm not forgetting the bride and groom...

day three

so i got up early this morning just to go to the Apple store...because guess what...my laptop is broken. I got home late last nite from school, deciding to go online, when i opened up my laptop, the left hinge is broken and now i can't freaking close the freaking laptop. OF ALL THE TIME, it has to happen on my LAST QUARTER! ARGH!...so i took it to the Apple store...i had to wait for F*Ckin ONE hour just for them to tell me to go to another store because for them to do it, it might take them 5-10 days...so off i went to this one store and the guy told me i had to replace the entire monitor, which is gonna cost me close to $1000.00...P.E.R.F.E.C.T. I can't freaking afford that for now especially with my portfolio stuff....so I asked him if there is another option...then he said i have to order the hinge myself and then just take it in and he will see if he can fix that....on top of that...EVEN if he can fix it, he said that the laptop is not gonna look the same.....which i don't really care as long as it still functions well. So then i went home...went online...bought the freaking hinge...cost me like $175 with shipping and tax....now i have to wait for it to come in the mail and bring my laptop again to the store...what a day....*SIGH*

Now i have to pick up the hard drive that i just bought to backup all of my files. Hope nothing goes wrong...*cross fingers*

I miss you...

it's starting to kick in...(day two)

i just came back from my portfolio class and was a little bit disturbed by the teacher's comment about my portfolio. he basically said that there is no one super good or one super bad piece on mine but they are all really good. not sure if i have to take that as a compliment, or a criticism. he also mentioned that my work is consistent, which means that it doesn't vary (??) I was a little bit worried because i wasn't stressed out being it is my last quarter and all..and now, the stress is starting to kick in.

I gotta start doing my portfolio stuff. I am glad that I kinda got "attacked" this morning by my portfolio teacher...it's a wake up call for me...

Erik also stopped by to my school to get my disney pass...he's going with Andy today..i'm jealous..if only I dont have a class tonight...

Today is day two of me not gettin in touch with Bong at all. The "missing" feeling is definitely there but i am trying not to freak out about it. Plus with all these portfolio stuff, i'm trying to get occupied....I am, however, kinda glad that i feel this way because this shows that I "do" need him and it's just different without him...i wonder how your sprained left hand is. Hope you are taking care of that...

day one...

the day actually hasn't started yet. leen is coming to hang out with me. we're going to the portfolio case store to do some research for our portfolio book *yay* i get to spend money for something that i am looking forward to. other than that, maybe gym, running errands for my sis and that's about it. i'm currently in a content mood. which scares me but i know this is for the best. just like the group Chicago and AZ yet said "even lovers need a holiday" and i didnt believe that til im in a relationship.

you never know..

A brother in my fraternity, Jonathan Lee, got into an accident and passed away this Saturday. I don't really know him because I have been kinda MIA ever since I'm an alumni. However, I went to the viewing last night and I get to see a lot of the old skool bros that I have not seen in ages. It's sad that something tragic like this had to be the reason why I get to see them again.

There were a lot of friends and families of Jon and the atmosphere there was just really sad. It made me think that you can never know when is your time to go. I guess an event like this, makes me re-think about life. Friends and families said their last words to Jon, saying that they wished they could just say goodbye for the last time and that they love him. It's really sad...

I guess what I'm trying to say is...I just want to remind myself and everyone to live life as if you'll die today...i mean.."no day but today" right? just remember and appreciate everything that you have today, right now, right here...don't worry too much about things that you don't have...just be thankful for them...you'll never know when you're gonna loose them...

R.I.P Brother Lee, I don't know you that well..but you're a brother...hence making you a brother to me. You will be missed...

what's happenin?

during the break I've heard two bad news about accidents and witnesses two real accidents with my own eyes. One of the two stories that I've heard was bad...the guy actually passed away because of drunk driving...Not to be dramatic and all but I am kinda scared...not in a sense that it might happen to me, but more like what's happening? what's with all the accidents? I guess it's the season ... Summer is the time where all people parties and stuff...but I guess u need to be extra careful when you drive...it's not only your life that is at stakes but other people's as well...that's all...

Today is the first day
