Because the photo option only lets me put 10 pictures

Today was way too much fun and I'll be honest, I was laughing most of the time because of Michelle. I woke up at 11 today, and just like every morning, it's so cold and I just like to lay in bed forever. I went to go visit Santiago teachers with Jonathan. We visited ASB & then we visited Wert. That lasted until 2. I went to Hooters with Tina for some wings. Before we left, I was thinking about how I have to take pictures and all when we were there, but I totally forgot! I'm still going with you Tiff! Tina must've really craved wings because she ate all of her 10 wings when we usually split 10 wings together. I got home to only chill for a bit and then I headed to Santiago to be the driver for ASB's Progressive Dinner. It's crazy how the year has gone by. The other drivers were friends, Thuy, Tracy, James, Tiff, Danilo, and friends that came along were Michelle and Jonathan. :) At the first house, we stayed outside and played Ninja. The next house, most of them went to get some McDonald's. Boy was Michelle right when she said the sweet tea is the shit. Thuy has the tendency to offer me or anyone food, so I ate her fries. Haha. The next house, we didn't do much. Then we went off to Mrs. Garcia's. Guess who came first?!?!?! >:D I have the mentality to say that I don't like competing, but in my head, I really am. ):

The ex-ASBers went to a shopping area, where we hit Target, Toys R Us, GameStop, and TJ Max. Boy was it a blast. So many laughs and what not. My feet were dying by TJ Max and on the way back to the car, James pushed me in a shopping cart. :) The shoes are love, but they always feel like they're going to slip off that's why it's my first time attempting to wear them after almost a year! My secret santa got me them last year and I love love love them, but it isn't reasonable to wear them. We came back and ASB was about finish. For a girl who doesn't want to speed and doesn't like racing, boy was I wrong about that. Tracy was falling behind me merging when I was and what not and when we hit the merge from one freeway to another, the car in front of me was slow so I changed lanes to then notice that the lane was going to a different freeway so I cut the slow car. I apologized to Tracy. I'm so deeply sorry! She said she merged safely. It was quite a thrill racing with Thuy and James. I felt sorry for the ASB kids in my car! They weren't expecting it. One of them said I'm one fierce driver. X: Dropped the kids home and didn't do much from then on.

So many pictures!

I find it so crazy that my friends' siblings and my brother are the same ages as each other. Tiff's brother, Jonathan's sister, James' brother, Thuy's sister, Tracy's sister, and so forth. It's like our parents got together and planned this.

Farewell.

Farewell dear blogspot! You were just a phase! I have moved onto tumblr and will only be using you to reading people's blogs!

Winter Weather

It's been awhile since it has last rained. I can't recall when it really did last rain. I dislike the rain and I hate winter weather because buying more coats and clothes and what not to keep warm really really really REALLY sucks. I prefer Cali fall weather. :) I should be studying for finals, but as usual, I don't know how to motivate myself to do so. What I know is what I know now is how I see it as.

I feel the urge to completely change to tumblr. Blogspot, I'm disliking you.

STUDY STUDY STUDY!

I'm going to make something of myself and no one is going to stop me.

Unhappiness really shoots you in the heart.
Thanks Karen<3

In Count: 3 Days.

Let me be more straight forward about this because hiding emotions and feelings isn't the way to go. I'm unhappy. It's not the first time. I'm not provided with enough financial aid and it kills to take out loans. I don't have money to spend on anything. I don't want to burden my parents. It scares me to think about what I want to do for the rest of my life and everyone tells me that I still have time, but I'm still scared. I feel like being here is pointless. I can't motivate myself. I waste the days away doing random stuff on my laptop. I wish I was motivated to focus more on school stuff. I'm loud and I'm too serious. I can't just relax. I am overly jealous and it tears me apart. I think to seriously about relationships. I can't bear the thought of seeing someone leave me when it has already happened to me before. I'm unhappy with my life. Counting the days of being unhappy.

GOOD LUCK - Lee's friend found it and I'm getting it back Wednesday!

This bad luck/good luck thing makes my head hurt.

Thanksgiving Break Pt. 4

One of the more lazier days compared to the past few days. I was only up during the afternoon to post about Thanksgiving with the friends. I slept until 5:45pm. Got ready and for the first time in awhile, Marco was ready before I was. Picked him up, got some gas, then went to Boomers in Irvine.

We didn't bet on anything which was a good thing because I sucked. First hole really killed me already. haha We grabbed some tacos and horchata and the taqueria near by my house and ate it at my house while watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was a rough night, but you deal...

Yes, my boyfriend is quite funny.

I think I like this picture. :)

I'm thinking of spending tomorrow at Barnes and Noble. Some time to myself. I want to spend time with friends, but I really need the time to myself.

Thanksgiving Break Pt. 3

Time seems to be going by so fast because December is around the corner.

I told a lot of people that asked if I was going to Black Friday shopping that I wasn't going to go, but I ended up checking it out with my dad. Really, it just seems like an excuse for people to shop. Forever 21 was such a bust and didn't have any deals really unless you were there waiting in line for a chance to win a gift card. I did end up buying a dress for only 8 dollars, but that's because it was on the sales rack. Foreign Exchange always has a big sale for Thanksgiving weekend. 45% of the whole store. 25% off sale items. What sucks about their clothes is that it looks cute when it's not tried on. The fitting is weird. I tried on a couple pieces and ended up getting one skirt in the end. 15 dollars, originally 24. They were also giving a free scarf with every purchase. I bought a few things at Charlotte Russe and had some food with my dad. We stopped by Dollar Tree because I was still thinking of decorating, but didn't find anything I wanted. I ended up just buying green tablecloth.

When I came home, I got ready to go out again and watch New Moon with Tiffany and Thuy. I'm not a Twilight fan and I'm one of those girls that will watch it just for Taylor Lautner. *drools* Movie was better than the first one and they showed so many good trailers. (: The movie was over at 5 and I headed home to prep. My brother helped me set the tables and what not. I made fried chicken with my mom at around 6. I'd get texts that they can't make it or someone is going to be late something like that and that reminded me why I stopped planning these things in the first place. Because I hate the feeling of being let down. There was a lower turn out this year, but there was plenty of laughs and good memories. We didn't start dinner until an hour later as usual. Friends stayed until 1am. Cleaning up everything afterwards. It was a good night.

I don't have definite plans today, but I'm thinking of miniature golf later. We'll see.
