spring break.

the rest of my spring break.

this is a long one so be prepared. lol.

monday-wednesday
I was pretty much bored at home. my history stuff was sitting there right in front of me as I told myself to DO MY ESSAY. and yet the words did not flow. the page was the same as it was a few days before. so difficult it is to do something when you just DON’T want to do it. haha. I should’ve finished my essay. I should’ve caught up with all my classes. but no… I refused. just watched naruto a most of the time, then eating… sleeping. haha. I just couldn’t stop myself. I just get so pissed off when things just keep getting more and more intense and I just HAVE to watch the next episode. damn them. hated waiting for that shit to load too but oh wells.

a friend of mine had gotten into a car accident. a terrible way to start off spring break. :( I was quite worried about my friend. wasn’t sure if they were hurt or not. but when I called they were ok. sure feel bad for em though. darn tree. why must you cost so much to replace? 10k? that’s madness. hopefully that was an exaggeration.

one day I ran. down the hill, around that street, down eagle rock, then back up the hill. somehow I managed to pull something. don’t get how since I DID stretch before I started AND after I jogged for a bit. I think at some point I pushed myself a little too hard then suddenly OW! haha. I was at the bottom of the hill when the pain really set in. I stood there… looking at the steepness of it all and thought… FUCK! I was seriously about to just kill over. so up I walked(more like limped)… pain and all… very slowly… I felt like calling my dad and asking him to pick me up or something, but no… when I got home, I just opened the door and fell on the ground… just lying there for like 20 minutes before I got back up again. haha.
not sure how much I ran, but for me… it was a LOT. I wish I hadn’t pulled something cuz I wanted to run every morning until school started again. :( so sad. *sigh* then I really hated the fact that we had so many fucking stairs in our house. took me forever to walk up and down those suckers. for days the pain would not go away but it eventually did. lesson learned… don’t push yourself too hard.

thursday040308 jess’s birthday. XD (jess, stace, jean, ron)
jean picked me up and we went to jess’s house. we brought our gifts down. jean had this strangely wrapped present and he said that if jess opened it in front of her parents they’d be like "WTF!?" he let me hold it and try to figure out what the heck it was. no… idea… jess wasn’t allowed to touch it since she might ruin the surprise. jess looked at my beautifully wrapped present which said "because you <3 him" on it and said "what if my parents see that??" because she immediately thought that I was referring to jean. WRONGO! she flipped my present over and she could easily see through that damn plastic bag for a wrapping paper. "OOOH!" she yelled. "thanks for ruining your present jess!" said i. "THANKS STEF!" she said as she hugged me. "don’t touch me! how could you." I jokingly said as dramatically as I possibly could. we put the gifts into jean’s car and we were off to pick up the 2 cousins.

I was rather surprised since we’ve been asking jess for the past week what she wanted to do for her birthday and she’d continuously say, "I don’t know. -_-" she actually decided what she wanted to do! we went to little tokyo. jess had wanted to go there for some time now. we didn’t exactly have, what you would call, a plan on where we were going or what we were doing. haha. "explore!" jess said… "clothing stores!" haha. sadly there weren’t the kind of clothing stores in little tokyo that she wanted. there wasn’t much there as we wandered around the streets searching for stores… ANY stores… shopping center! SOMETHING! haha.

they DID have this really cool anime store with a bunch of figurines and cool stuff like that. they also had this cool supermarket place that had like EVERY asian food snack there is and that didn’t charge tax. ron was rather amazed at that and kept on asking "why don’t they charge tax??" "because it’s awesome" I responded. haha. i really would like to go back there to buy those humongo pocky sticks and those gummy chocolate balls that stace bought. mmm. yum… (- -,) jess wasn’t able to find her bento box. :( well, perhaps someday she’ll find one. oh and at that supermarket place, they had this picture booth thing that was like cue pics… only crappier. haha. it was much easier though, since there were less choices and there was no need to know the language. also much cheaper… $5 compared to the $9 at alhambra. wouldn’t say it was worth it since we barely had time to put decorations… and we never COULD get a good pose. :P

after little tokyo, we all met up with jess’s parents at glendale. we ate at ichiban. of course japanese food for the birthday girl, who can never seem to get tired of it. haha. TIS her favorite you know. jess had never eaten there. I was surprised.

stace SURE was loud. numerous times did she raise her voice a little too much and the people at other tables would turn their heads to look at the laughing girl at the table next to them. she really made dinner rather entertaining. as we waited for our food, we played our DSs of course. call of duty. :)

funny thing… stace was questioning her food and ron was like "don’t talk just eat it" and so she did and she liked it. then ron said "yeah. next time don’t ask questions. ok. just eat." haha. it was just really funny since he sounded like a father talking to his annoying, whining child that was tacey. it’s like how you never wanna try new food because you don’t know what it is and/or it looks weird. and your parents tell you to just eat it because it’s "good" as they say. sad how children never listen. haha. I act like that sometimes though. oh shame stef.

of course we got green tea tempura ice cream. haha. and of course jess took pictures of it. :P when all the green tea ice cream was gone, I put wasabi on the plate, hoping that either ron or stace would eat it. but alas, they knew. :( I was about to just eat it myself just for fun… but no. haha.

jess opened her gifts in jean’s car. haha. what a place to open gifts. lol. she knew what my one gift was… a yuki pillow (from fruits basket) she DID, in fact, love him. then she guessed what my other gift was... converse… and in the box it said "because your mom threw away your old ones :P" she was glad since she was wearing those flats that brought her pain and now she could wear shoes for the rest of the night! haha. jean got her some "boy" jeans as jess calls them. and they mystery gift turned out to be a hat. haha. I don’t get why jean thought her parents would be disapproving over a hat… but oh well. stace and ron would give jess a "late" birthday gift. they’re gonna buy her more converse… black ones… I think high tops.

we dropped off stace since she had to help her bro with his homework. the rest of us went to ultra zone, I think it’s called, to play laser tag. I was really excited to play but when we got there, the place was closed! X[ we were thinking of other places we could go but we just couldn’t decide. so we all just went home. laser tag another day my friends… must be a thursday cuz they have a special- all night, unlimited, boys pay $12 and girls pay $5. woot woot!

hope you had a happy birthday jess! XD love ya!

friday040408 michelle’s birthday.(jess&jean)
haha. marvin didn’t think of what the guests would eat since he and michelle would be coming back from dinner. so sweet of him to throw a surprise party for his love. anyways, so me, jess, and jean had to buy our own food. went to mcdonalds and for some reason they gave us 2 free drinks. haha. course we didn’t say anything. twas a gift from God. lol.

got to marvin’s place at about 8 I think? so we ate, and then waited for the 2 love birds to show up. they had cans of silly string waiting for her as well. lol. we played our DSs as usual. I was surprised that I actually won a round of call of duty. just one round… but I was proud of that. lol.

michelle and marvin finally came at about 10. she was attacked in the dark with about 10 cans of silly string. the attackers had no mercy for the poor soul, with their loud, ferocious bellowing. no mercy. feel bad for marvin and alex though… poor guys have to clean all that shit up. haha.

funny thing… we were watching t.v. when I saw something familiar sitting on the coffee table… it was my pack of cards that I had lost the last time we partied at marvin’s place! haha. I thought I’d never see those things again. but there they were. lol. jess was like "I THOUGHT those cards looked familiar." coolio. I have my cards back. :P

had to leave the party at like 11 cuz me mum called. *sigh* and the party was just getting started and michelle just barely opened her gifts… monopoly and life! oh how I wished to play. :(

I was sad since I didn’t get to play cards with alex and kyle. those guys are so fun to play cards with. haha. then I wanted to drink too but no. :/ I liked the last party they had. it started earlier, we actually played board games, video games, & card games. lol. and I had a really good time.

perhaps next time will be better. :)

happy birthday michelle! hope you had a good one!

oh yeah. was the only day when jess and michelle are the same age. that’s so cool since they’re cousins and all. :)

saturday040508 my belated birthday @ paseo. (xtia, marie, stace)
"we SHALL be dressy on saturday" said xtia.
yes, I wore a dress. haha. with jeans! :P it was cold ya know!
anyways, marie drove us to pasadena. "pick a place" marie said. that that was where we would eat. I didn’t really know but xtia suggested P.F. Changs. I really wanted to eat there since jess continuously talks about how the dessert that they have is THE best she’s ever tasted! *sigh* but when we got there, it was an hour wait and marie had a rave to go to. :/ so instead we went to this one mexican restaurant right next to P.F. Changs. paseo something. haha. don’t remember what it’s called. the atmosphere in that restaurant was similar to that of a debut. the tables were lined up, there was a band playing, and yeah. haha.

at some point the waiters were asking for the birthday people. stacey… being stacey, started yelling "HERE!!! HERE!" and pointing at me. -_- some guy popped outta nowhere and placed a plate in front of me. flan w/a candle on it. haha. they started singing… it was cool. :) haha but I didn’t notice the guy behind me playing the violin. lol. sad. not my fault. the band was friggin loud. I mean, 80% of the time we had to yell at each other just so we could hear. lol. sadly, marie left early.

we ordered dessert, crepes w/vanilla ice cream and caramel. it was small and probably expensive (they wouldn’t let me look at the receipt -_-). nothing beats crepe in the grip. :P me, xtia, & stace took some pics then we experienced stacey’s driving… I shall say nothing more of that matter. lol.

we dropped xtia off when stace was like "lets visit nikki!" so we drove to her house, called her cell, but no answer… so then stace goes "lets visit jess!" so we drove to her house, walked up to the door, called her cell and whispered "jess… where are you?... go outside… something’s waiting for you…" which was US obviously. but I think she just thought we were trying to scare her or something, which was not my intention at all. so yeah she just hung up and we rang her doorbell and called back… jess quickly said "you guys are pissing me off" when she answered… still whispering we replied… "jess… can stacey use your bathroom…?" so she opened up the door for us. :) we hung out there for a bit, talking, laughing, having a good ol time.

nikki called us back so me n stace decided to go back to her house to see her new puppy! XD my gosh was her dog a cutie! MUCH better than that hyperactive lovely. psh. no me gusta lovely. haha. anyways, the unnamed addition to the cutudioc family was SOOO cute! he was so shy and quiet and he wasn’t all fidgety when we held him. *sigh* I hope nikki makes her dogs mate… and SOON! cuz I want one! XD I felt bad for lovely though. cuz she’ll be seeking attention even more than ever. jealousy’s a bitch… and its name is lovely. LOL! wonder what nikki’s dad decided to name him.

sunday040608essay.
I PLANNED to finish my essay. but when I got upstairs, my parents were watching this movie on dvd. I got really into it and I just stayed up there watching it with them. ugh. thought it would end soon but it was one of those mini series t.v. movies that are like 4 episodes long, 1 hour each episode. -_- so yeah. stayed up there for 4 hours or so just to finish that damn movie. the ending wasn’t so great but it was still a good movie. and THEN what happened? they turn on the t.v. and there is yet ANOTHER mini series tv movie. -_- so we’re eating, watching it… the first hour of the movie was GREAT and I REALLY wanted to finish watching it but I look at the clock and FUCK its already 6 o’clock. -_- so I tell myself, "stef… you need to fucking finish your essay." so I sadly get up and slump to my room to finish my essay. :( hours later, sandy walks into my room and tells me how great the movie was and how she felt like crying and stuff. she tells me the ending and I get back to work. -_- finished that mofo at about 9:30. my last paragraphs were kinda crappy and I wish that she made the essay 5 pages long since I had so much to say. X[ *sigh* just glad that I didn’t have to stay up late doing it. VERY thankful that I didn’t have any more shit to do other than that essay. I SHOULD’VE done homework for my other classes, gotten ahead. but no. its fucking spring break and I don’t wanna do SHIT! X[ the consequences of my procrastination will soon be felt when I take that midterm on friday.

040708
ah… back to school… *sigh* back to work… and WHAT am I doing right now? loading the next 2 episodes of naruto. tsk tsk. oh the shame stef... no worries, I’ll do all my shit tomorrow since I don’t have school. :) i’ve got a hist midterm on friday. ugh… oh yeah, for my polisci midterm, I got a B and I was 2 points from getting an A. I would’ve gotten it if I didn’t change 3 of my answers. *sigh* but YAY because it was much better than the C I got on the last one. oh and for my chem. midterm… got a 97 baybee! woot woot! haha. proud of myself but at the same time… not because I should’ve studied earlier and harder for those tests.

wow this was a long post. prolly won’t add anything new for a while. meh. we’ll see.

should post up all those pics soon…

fin.

p.s… for some reason… it feels like i’ve lost a friend… maybe even 2. and it hurts. and it makes me sad. and it feels like it’s all my fault. *sigh* it was the last thing I ever wanted to happen…
