Halloweenie.

I was still very much unsure if my mom was going to let me go out for Halloween. But I DID tell her of what I wanted to do and such.

When I got to school, Keisha called me telling me to wait for her before going to class because she didn’t want to walk into the classroom alone. Lol. She didn’t want to attract attention to herself with her fishnet stockings. :P To be honest, my outfit was much more revealing than hers but LUCKILY I had my big ol black trench coat to cover me up. lol.



Jess and I really wanted to go to Faith’s photo shoot party at her house but we didn’t want to be waiting in Long Beach for the whole day doing nothing until 7. :/

We were very unsure about what we were going to do.

There was the Riverside party but I wasn’t sure if my mom would let me sleep over. Plus it would’ve been a rather long drive. :/

Anyways, we decided to go trick-or-treating at the Santa Anita mall with Stace, Nikki, Ron, & Matt. I thought that was perfect because after getting candy we could go eat crepes and take pictures. XD

“5” Jess said. 5 was when we were supposed to go trick-or-treating with them. I was bored at home, all dressed up and ready to go.

Shut up! I was bored as 5 o’clock slowly drew near. :P



Unfortunately, Stace was lagging a bit because she just got out of volunteering so she still had to get ready. They were supposed to be at Riverside early for some reason. We ended up not going out with them but at least we were able to take pictures before they left. :)








Jess, Jean, & I still wanted crepes so we went to Arcadia anyways. I haven’t had crepes in a VERY long time and man was it YUMMEH! Jean wanted to head straight to Jack’s party after eating crepes but Jess wanted to take Cue pictures. Lol. She made her baby face :< and Jean was like “ok. fine.” Hahaha. We took the pictures in record time. 10 minutes! Which is like… IMPOSSIBLE. Haha.


Crepes! XD




When we got to the party, Jess and I were pretty nervous. It was our first house party and we didn’t really know anyone that was going to be there except for Rachel and Shari. What was cool was that we were under the impression that admission was $10 per person but when we got there it turned out that girls get in free. XD They put a stamp on us, frisked Jean, and let us into the party. haha. The decorations were pretty dang awesome. lol. They really went all out. A scary entrance, fog machine, strobe lights, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Even the way to the bathroom was cool. There were black streams coming down from the ceiling, strobe lights, and balloons on the floor. Jess and I were worried that something would pop out and scare us so we stayed close. Haha.




It was really fun once we were all buzzing. Lol. Dancing and laughing the night away. :) Jess drank so slowly because she was using the little tiny stirrer as a straw. The dork. :P I really liked the music they played. They didn’t just play gangster music but also rock- oldies rock that is- and it was awesome. XD I really had a good time, which isn’t exactly what I was expecting. Lol.




At one point, our feet were killing us so we went back to the car to switch shoes. And THANK GOODNESS for that. lol. We would’ve died wearing those high heels all night. X[ When we were on the way to the car, we saw Rachel whose response to seeing me was “Stef!?!? o_O” in other words “WTF Stef’’s here!? o_O” Not in a bad way though. lol. I think she was just surprised to see me at a party like that. :P



We left the party around 11:30ish because I told my dad that I’d be home by 12. It turns out that my mom was under the impression that I was sleeping over at Riverside so we all very much could have stayed at the party longer. Damnit! >:[ Oh well. We just hung out on my balcony for a bit. Even that was fun. haha. Jean left around 1 and Jess was sleeping over. We popped in the Hulk and we started eating some Kit Kats and Twix. Om nom nom nom. Jess fell asleep at some point during the movie so I turned it off and we went to sleep.







And that was my Halloween. :)

Oh and I got a funny text from Ron about a “hawt” girl dressed as a Victoria’s Secret model. Haha. I’m glad that the kids in Riverside had a good time too. :)

Oh and and today was my last day wearing my lip ring since I promised mum I would stop. Plus, I lost it when I was trying to put it in my pocket. Lol. Bye bye lip ring! You will be dearly missed! :<

Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloweenie! XD

The Silence.

Wednesday
This morning, my mom still wasn’t talking to me. Still not looking at me. Still disappointed. I ate my food in silence, tearing up as I chewed my cereal. She didn’t notice, of course.

Before I left the house she said “You’re going to stop it right!?” and I just replied “Ok.”

This… SUCKS!

At school all my friends were like “She’ll get used to it. She can’t stand not talking to you.” But the thing is… how long can I stand her not talking to me. lol.

Thursday
When she got home from work she was like “You said ok but I know you still wear it. Just because I don’t see it doesn’t mean you should wear it.” Then this whole lecture came along about trust and disappointment. She’s like “I don’t even know what you do when you go out. And I don’t ask because I trust you. But where is that trust now?”

Goodness! It’s not like I do drugs or join gangs and shit! I don’t even do anything bad when I go out. I just hang out with my friends! Ugh. I think she believes that Charlie is a bad influence on me. She’s always brining him up negatively for some reason. He hasn’t really done anything to me, either. She said something like “Oh, you’re carpooling with Charlie. What if one day he says ‘Stephannie, I love you!’” and I was like “HUH!? No. That’s never gonna happen.” I think she’s afraid that I’m going to get with him. lol.

Anyways, it’s JUST a ring. It’s not like I got a tattoo or got pregnant or anything like that. Yep… She started crying. I’m just going to stop wearing it, let it heal up. *sighs* I promised her I would stop wearing it.

Wish I could get that $40 back, though…

I’ll miss you lip ring. :<

[fin.]


Me, bored.

The Black Cat.

Bored at the library, eating a banana. Om nom nom nom.

I am not a fan of superstitions. Walking under ladders, black cats, tipping over salt shakers. All that good stuff. Perhaps all the complications of today weren’t a case of bad luck. Maybe it’s just my mind telling myself that it is, and I’m just childishly contemplating the idea that maybe, just maybe it was bad luck. It’s possible that everything that happened today would have happened exactly as it did whether or not that black cat had passed me when I was on my way to Jess’s house this morning. Pfft. Bad luck? Nah. Just everyday minor complications.

On the way to school, I asked Jess if she was superstitious. She said that she wasn’t and I told her about the black cat and how, when it passed me, I said “Why! WHYYYY!” It’s not good at all to be superstitious.

So my nursing class was cancelled today so it was a great opportunity to go out.

Ok so here’s the supposed “bad luck” that had occurred today…

Jean drives over to Long Beach and we decide that we’re going to the Del Amo mall in Torrance instead of Lakewood. None of us are completely sure how to get there so we pretty much wing it. We get off at the wrong exit so we have to get back on the freeway.

When we make the right exit, we end up making the exactly the same wrong turn as we did last time. We have to turn around.

When we get to the mall, Jean doesn’t enter into the parking structure but keeps on driving, trying to find another parking place. We end up driving all around the mall, taking up about 15 minutes or so.

At the mall we just walked around. The shoes I want to buy for my mobster outfit are all scuffed up so I end up not buying it. Jess and Jean don’t buy anything except for those cute little cactus pup figurines.

Poor Jess feels sick from the black tea drink that she bought at surf city. :/

We head to the bathroom and see a huge pile of shit on the floor of the women’s restroom. We both gag. It’s pretty funny because Jess was already feeling sick to begin with and that poop on the floor wasn’t helping one bit. Lol.

When we leave the mall to head back to school, we take the wrong entrance despite the fact that on the way to the mall Jess pointed out “Oh there’s the entrance we take to get home.” :P As we drive, all of us are unsure about whether or not we are going the right way. We put our minds at ease because the signs that we pass by look oh so familiar. For about 20 minutes of driving the wrong way, we start to see landmarks that we have absolutely NO recollection of passing when we were on our way to the mall. We try to call people in hopes that at least one of them knows how to get to Long Beach or that they are by a laptop so they can mapquest it for us. We have to get off the freeway, which is packed, and we get back on, still going north.

Not many people pick up the phone, but we are able to get a hold of a few who help us. John, who lives in Torrance, tells us that we are going the wrong way. Still, Jean says that we’re going the right way. Jess calls other people and they say we’re going the wrong way also. I text ChaCha and they say that we need to go south instead of north.

We finally get off the freeway and go back in the opposite direction. Jess had already called her mom to pick us up and there is NO way that we are going to make it back to school in time.

There’s a lot of traffic on the way back. Jess is panicking, close to tears because her mom’s already waiting for us at school. We call Jess’s mom to tell her that Jess is still working on her chemistry quiz. Her mom says she’ll be grocery shopping.

We’re not even past Torrance yet and Jean’s car is VERY low on gas. Every time Jess reminds him of this, he grabs hold of his rosary for a moment, and continues driving.

Jess and Jean start arguing about who said what about the calling 411 issue that had occurred earlier. I feel sad because neither of them drop it and they go on for about 15 minutes. :<

Things are a bit quiet when Jean goes “I hope Stef doesn’t say ‘Guys… I needa pee.’” Like I did last time. haha. That would’ve been terrible if I did, especially since we were in traffic. XP

We don’t exit at Bellflower like most people told us, but we get off at Lakewood. We head in one direction when Jess tells us to head the other direction because she remembers passing the tunnel by the airport. “Don’t you remember the tunnel, Jean?” she says. Jean remembers the tunnel but doesn’t recall which way they were driving. Jess seems very confident that we are going the right way.

After a while, Jean asks is Jess was SURE that they were driving in the right direction. Jess begins to doubt herself and calls Michelle to see if we’re going the right way. It turns out that we weren’t and we turn around. Haha.

We finally get to school. Jess’s mom isn’t mad. She bought us some dinner. Both Jess and I knock out in the car.

Total time trying to get from the Del Amo mall to CSULB? 2 hours. :D

I honestly don’t think the crap that happened today was because of a stupid cat. I just wanted to have an interesting headline to put up. LOL.

I actually DID have fun today except for the whole traffic thing. Lol. Well, even the traffic thing was kind of fun because we laughed at ourselves for saying
“Yeah, we’re going the right way. Yeah, we passed that street on the way to the mall.”
“Does that street name sound familiar?”
“Yeah.”
“Oh, I remember passing that Nissan billboard.”
Then as we realize we’re going the wrong way…
“Stef, do you remember passing this??? I do NOT remember.”
“Um… maybe we weren’t paying attention to it…?”
Haha. Yeah.

Fun today. lol. No lie. :P Love them kids.


A picture of me and best friend Jessy at our second home! XD

The Reality.

WELL THEN! Turns out my mom is VERY MUCH angry with me for getting that lip ring.

It turns out that when she saw it the other day, she thought it was fake. So this morning, when she asked why keep it on and I replied “You’re not supposed to take it off for a month or so,” her response was very unpleasant.

Ugh! I thought she was ok with it. I thought she had caught my sarcasm when I told her it was nothing. I mean, she looked RIGHT at it. X[ Seeing is believing, right?

So here’s the gist of what happened…

She realized that my lip ring was real and she got up from the table, walked over to me, grabbed my face and observed the hole more closely. Then she grabbed my lip and pulled it down so she could see that there was a hole on the inside of my lip.

She said something in tagalog. I don’t know what she said but all I know is that whenever she says it, it is NOT a good thing. X[

“WHY!?” she wouldn’t stop saying. “I’m very disappointed.”

I asked her why not and she said because people will degrade me and that it’s inappropriate. Blah blah blah.

“Did you get it because Charlie has one!?” and I was like “Huh? He doesn’t even have one.” It’s like, what the fuck? Why does she have to automatically assume that someone MADE me get the piercing? I WANTED to get it. I have BEEN wanting to get it for just about forever. Ugh! Now she’s going to think that my friends are bad influences and whatnot.

After a while she just stopped talking, got up, and went downstairs, leaving her food untouched. Later, I could hear her behind me moving papers around. When I left the house and said goodbye, she gave me no response. She wouldn’t even look at me.

I was bummed for the rest of the day and when I got home, Sandy told me that our mom called her and told her that she was very disappointed me and she asked her whether or not she saw any of my friends with it. ONCE AGAIN thinking that my friends are bad people. Sandy said that she was complaining to daddy during dinner and he was just like “mhm…” not really caring.

I honestly thought that she’d be ok with it. I mean, she’s ok with SO many things but this? Why??? X[

*sigh* I’m hoping that she’ll just grow used to it and accept it. We’ll see…


I guess I’ll have to stop wearing it. :<


[fin.]

"AY! WHAT IS THAT!?"

SOOO… My mom walks into my room wanting to use my laptop. It was pretty dark and most of the light in my room was coming from my laptop. As I hand my laptop to her, she notices the glistening piece of metal on my lip. First words out of her mouth, you ask?

“AY WHAT IS THAT!?!?!!?”

Her eyes widen and bulge out of her eye sockets as she stares at the ring in disbelief. “AW SHIT!” is the only thing that runs through my mind.

“What is that!?” she repeats. I take off the ring and say “Nothing…” in the sarcastic tone that I love to do.

She grabs my face, stares at the spot where the ring once was, says something in tagalog and laughs. She walks to her room and tells daddy. I see Sandy in the laundry room laughing.

My mom tells my dad “Ay did you see that!? She has an earring on her lip!”

“I told you so” is all my dad says because I know he’s seen me with it before but just doesn’t want to say anything to me.

Sandy walks into my room and we both have a laugh when my mom calls me to her room “Show it to daddy. Look at that!”

We all laugh. All is well. I can’t believe they’re taking this so well. It’s surprising but such a relief. Now, I don’t have to hide it anymore. :)

[fin.]


Eating dinner so late at night. :/

The Pain.

I wake up at 3am and suddenly I feel the pain that I haven’t felt in a very long while.
I start yelling… Making noises like a dying animal.
No one hears me.
They’re all sound asleep. Snug in their warm little beds.
And I’m here. Feeling this… This torture…
Oh God, it hurts so much.
Why now, after so long? Why now?
I start breathing erratically and I can’t stop it. I can’t control it.
The pain… it just courses through and it doesn’t get any better no matter how much I toss and turn.
It doesn’t go away.
It only gets worse with every move I make.
It feels like someone’s tearing through my insides, ripping everything apart.
Very much like a dying animal.
Put me out of my misery.
My body starts shaking and it contorts, trying to reposition itself in a manner so that the pain would magically disappear. I only wish that such a position existed.
Nothing can take this pain away.
Well, nothing except for those pills that the doctor prescribed to me those many years ago. The ones that I have long since used up.

“Don’t wait for the pain” the doctor said, but mum always made me wait for it to hit me anyways.
It had to hurt before I could make it go away. She wouldn’t just let me avoid it completely. No. Because she wanted me to be sure that I was in enough pain to use them. It had to be intense enough that I had to use the pain killers.
She always made me wait…

My limbs twist and twitch and there’s nothing I can do about it. I no longer have control over my body.

I can’t think to just get up out of bed and take those friendly pills that awaited me on my dresser. I can’t. The pain is too much. Too afraid to get out of bed. Fearing how much more it would hurt if I got up and walked those few steps, knowing I would only collapse to the floor and curl up into a ball like a baby. No, I wasn’t thinking.

My hands ball up into fists. My nails digging into my skin, a failed attempt to distract myself from the more massive pain.

After an hour, things go silent for a moment… my body goes still… and suddenly I can breathe normally again. The pain begins to die down but it’s still there. Just less severe, but still there. *sigh* I hate when this happens.

[fin.]

Errrrgh.

The Talk.

Today, Stace and I went to Ron’s place for a 2-year-old’s birthday party. When we got there, Ron had just woken up. The noobcake. Well, while he went to go shower and get ready, Stacey and I took the liberty of changing his laptop's background. I went looking for the same picture I used last time, the 2 asians in mankinis lol, but I couldn’t find it. We did find some rather disturbing pictures, which Stace didn’t really find disturbing. haha. Perhaps she’s USED to seeing such dirty things. o_O lol. Just kidding. We ended up just making it a man in a leather bikini. :) I think Ron was rather satisfied with it when he came back. :P

They sure had a LOT of food. They had one of those super long tables and there were NO empty spaces between the trays of food. It was pretty good. Stace and I ate outside as Ron was inside chatting with a certain someone. I was pretty worried about him, though. I didn’t want him to walk outside with tears in his eyes or anything. :/

Stace farted a LOT, saying “safety” after every blast. Haha. Dirty girl. tsk tsk.

We also did some hookah. Well, it was mostly me because Stace just knocked out on Ron’s bed. The heck though, because Stace was the one that wanted to do hookah in the first place. Oh wells. More for me. :P haha. “Sorry if I stain your bed sheets” she said before she went to sleep. Haha. You see, it was that time for Stace… lol. Grossness!

Oh Stef… lol.

Ron started playing Silent Hill Homecoming and after a while he let me have a go at it. I didn’t do so bad. I tried my best not to freak out every time a monster popped out of nowhere. Stacey woke up at some point and watched me play. At one part this dog popped out of nowhere and I just screamed. Haha. It’s so funny how a game can make you act. Like when Ron played… “RON! RON! KILL IT!” Stace and I would yell. “RUUUUUN!” And whenever he had to open a door or whenever a monster came around the corner. EEEP! Simply horrible. Lol. And yet, at the same time, fun. :D When the monsters started getting a little too scary for me, I would just hand the controller to Ron so he could kill them for me. haha.

Nikki came over for about 30 minutes. Stace had been impatiently waiting for her to come over. Guess she really misses her that much. Haha. Poor Nikki was hungry but she waited to get food because Stace was doing some application stuff. So sad. :<

We ate some more, played Silent Hill some more, did more hookah, and then we went home.

The moment I got home, my mom called me to her room. I knew what was coming… “The talk.” I had anticipated that she would give me “the talk” weeks ago. I had only wondered when she would talk to me because I was expecting it for quite some time. I knew exactly what she would say and how the conversation would conclude. And despite the fact that I knew what was going to be said, I left her room with a sudden burst of motivation and determination. She always has a way of doing that to me. For how long this will last, I don’t know. These episodes usually don’t last very long. I only wish that they did. What a life I would live if only they did. *sighs*

She reminded me of the summer promise I had made. I had been going out nearly every day when I told my mom that I wouldn’t be going out at all when I got back to school because my classes were going to be much harder and that I would be studying 24/7. I have been feeling bad lately, even before she had the talk with me, no lie. I’ve been going out nearly every week, knowing perfectly well of the promise I had made over summer and yet I continue to go out. Stupid Stef.

And SINCE I made that promise, the classes I have are, in fact, much harder and I’m not doing so well in those classes either. :/ Hence, my sudden burst of motivation! I HAVE to do well in these classes! I NEED to do well in these classes! I WANT to keep to my word! Lol. I don’t really know how to describe it. It’s much more meaningful in my head. I just don’t know how to articulate it. haha. Oh well.

The resulting punishment from “the talk”… I can’t go out as much. :(

[fin.]

Christia's Birthday @ Disneyland.

I woke up at 5 to get ready, something I am very much used to. My mom gave me about $60 for the ticket and $20 for food, which was kind of madness because food at Disneyland is hella expensive, just like any other theme park.

Christia picked me up around 7ish. I think it’s kind of sad that she has to drive for her birthday but I guess she didn’t mind it. Oh, a cool random happenstance is that both Christia and I were wearing black and red. Haha. Turns out Stace had just woken up when Christia called her. She slept when I woke up so that was about 2 hours of sleep for her. tsk tsk. So sad. She was supposedly up doing online quizzes or something. I wondered how in the world that girl would be able to survive the whole day with only 2 hours of sleep. I surely couldn’t do it. When we were waiting for Stacey to get ready, Xtia looked at me and said “Oh my gosh! New hair!... Oh my gosh! Piercing!!” haha. You could tell I hadn’t seen her in a while.

The first thing we did was go to church. We saw Ish there giving the wine. Also saw Christia’s parents.

We had some time to kill before the guys would be meeting up with us so we drove to Pasadena to get some Coffee Bean. It’s always the white chocolate with those kids, I swear. Lol. I didn’t buy a drink so I just stole some honey sticks and ate the free samples. haha. Come on, you can’t blame me. I need to save up on the moneys!

We were halfway to Vons when Christia realized that she forgot to get the bagel that she paid for. Lol. Sooo we drove all the way back to pick it up. I told Stace to pick up some more honey sticks while she was there. :P

We drove back to Vons to meet up with the guys and buy some snacks. Chris was worried they’d be too shy around us or that wouldn’t talk to them. Big problem for Steffy because Steffy’s a quiet one too. lol. We didn’t really have a problem with talking. There was only silence when we were all tired. haha. Which was a lot, kind of.

Xtia told poor Kevin to bring a cooler which we didn’t even need because we only bought one bag of Pirate’s Booty and 0 drinks. lol. The drive to Anaheim wasn’t that bad. We got there faster than I thought. Since we were taking the same freeway that I take to school, I felt like that’s where I was going. lol. NOT a good way to start off my day.

Thank goodness we didn’t do that thing where we sang and recorded it. Phew. For some reason, I still haven’t watched the ones that we made when we went clubbing and when we drove to the beach. I suppose I’m just too embarrassed to watch it.

When we got there, we had to find a way to hide pirates booty so I stuffed it in my shirt. It looked a lot like I was pregnant, the next Juno perhaps. Lol. I ended up just opening the bag and eating it while we waited in line for the tram. Nearly half the bag was gone by the time we went into the park. Oh Stef, you piggy. Om nom nom nom.


Left for dead as Christia and Kevin rode away. :(



There to see Jack Sparrow. <3


We saw Donald in a car. I think that was probably the only chance I would have gotten to take a picture with him. :< Made me sad. That was one of my goals for Disneyland too. :(

The first place we went to was Adventureland. We went on Indiana Jones in memory of Xtia’s Shia La Bouf or “La Lame” “La Douche” as Bryan called him. Lol.

I FINALLY went to Space Mountain for the first time in my LIFE! lol. We even got the fast pass so then we rode it again later that night. Woot woot! I also finally went on that Buzz Lightyear ride. Whooped Stacey’s arse, I did. Muahahahaha. ^o^





Because we couldn’t find Donald Duck. :<


We did a lot of walking back and forth but that was ok. We were really lucky to have the guys there to direct us to wherever we needed to go. They didn’t even need a map. o_O The lines weren’t really that long. A lot of them were just 20 minute long or less waits. Pretty good deal, I’d say. We used a lot of fast passes too which was good. We saved SO much time with those, you have no idea. We were able to go on most of the rides but not those stupid, slow, kiddy, story rides. Nawp. Well, we went on Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride thing. That one was pretty damn boring. Lol. Just a way to kill time I guess, since we DID go on most of the important attractions anyways. We didn’t even go on the Finding Nemo submarine ride. They said it wasn’t worth it so we just skipped it.

We ate at this place with bread bowls, they tasted better the last time I was at Disneyland, which was like 5 years ago. Lol. I guess things change… Or maybe it just tasted better last time because we were cold, and hungry waiting for Fantasmic to start. $11. Not really worth it.

Stacey was surprisingly hyper at random moments of the day. I suppose sleep deprivation does strange things to people. It was like a rollercoaster of hyperactivity with her. Scared me, it did. haha.


Aww! Nice hat but I don’t have no moneys.



See her birthday pin? XD


After a long while, everyone started getting REAL tired so everyone became REAL quiet when we waited in the lines for the rides. The guys didn’t get much sleep either. Poor Kevin only had 3 or 4 hours.

Got myself a Donald Duck key chain.
Got Xtia a Minnie mouse heart key chain.
Got Stace a Pooh bear pin.
Got Jean a Bambi pin.
Got Sandy an Eeyore pin.
I would’ve gotten things for more people if I were sure what their favorite Disney character was.

The fireworks show which was awesome! I mean, even though there were a couple of trees blocking our view, we could see the fireworks for the most part. I LOVED it! That’s all I can say. lol.

We didn’t watch any shows except for the Honey I Shrunk the Audience thing, which we pretty much used as a resting time. I can’t believe they still have that show after HOW long? I bet half the people that watch the show don’t even remember what Honey I Shrunk the Kids is. Lol.


Lol. The kid just got in our picture so we worked with it. :P



We’re so strong! XD


Before we went into the theatre, we saw this little girl that wet herself and her pee was spreading all over the floor, which was nastyyy. Also before going into the theatre, they played these Kodak advertisements that were hilarious in that they were horrible actors and that everything was over exaggerated. Saddest thing was that they made the Asian bit look the stupidest. *sighs*

Hmmm… What else happened… Oh! We saw Winnie the Pooh and It seemed that he was about to go on his break or something. People kept on stopping him asking to take a picture but he kept backing away and waving. Poor person. They’ve been in that suit for hours and people just won’t leave them alone. Lol. Stacey just took a picture with Pooh in the background trying to get away. lol.

Kevin brought us home. It was a pretty fast drive.

I had a lot of fun today. :) It was a looong day and now there’s school tomorrow. X[ *sighs* And let’s not forget the Physio lab exam. Happy Birthday Christia!


Sally said “I like your tie… It’s like a snake.” Haha. talk about staying in character.



Om nom nom nom. ^o^


[fin]

Obvious much?

I woke up this morning, looked in the mirror and noticed that something was missing. My stud was gone. The hole had gotten so big that the stud had dug into my lip and was therefore missing on the outer surface of my lip. It was pretty nasty because I could pus the stud in and out f the hole. I suppose that this had a benefit because it allowed me to hide the fact that I had a piercing from my parents. Lol.

We went to church and my mm didn’t even notice. Even when we were eating at Sizzlers, they still didn’t notice. It was pretty hard to eat. I couldn’t really open my mouth wide enough to put food in so I ate in really small bites.

I went to the bathroom to check and the stud was still in the hole. I pushed it out and went back to the table and covered my mouth.

My mom laughed at me and said “What are you hiding? Did someone kiss you!?” LOL. Silly mommy.

It was all good though. Parents still didn’t notice anything despite the fact that it was right in front of them. haha. Score one for Stef! XD ORRR maybe they just don't want to say anything about it. lol. Who knows.

We’ll just have to see how the rest of the week goes. o_O

[fin]

Field Trip?

I had to wake up at 5 am this morning because Charlie and I were going to go on a field trip for our Nursing class. Guess where? A hospital! Lol. So my parents couldn’t see my piercing. hehehe.

I went to the hospital with Charlie. At first we ended up going to the wrong place. A rather small building which we thought was the hospital that our teacher worked at. We just thought, “Wow. This is a hospital?” haha. Luckily, as we were walking towards Carl’s Jr. we saw the actual hospital. The place we parked at turned out to be a dentist office by the same name as the hospital we were looking for.

After eating breakfast, we drove to the hospital and another problem arose. We had no idea where we were supposed to meet our teacher. We called Keisha and she didn’t know either. There were about 5 large buildings total. At first we were waiting at the main entrance but no one else was there so we walked around in search for our teacher’s building. We paged her over and over again in hopes that she would come downstairs or go outside and we would find her. I don’t get why she can’t just have a cell phone. *sighs*

Charlie ended up walking around outside and he found the place. We didn’t know that there would be so many students. There were about 30 students total.

The day before, I told Keisha that I got something and that she had to wait until today to see what it was. When we saw her, I just talked to her normally until she noticed. When she saw it, the paused, looked at me for a while, and said “So THAT’S what you got!” haha.
I must say that the experience was exhilarating! Walking through the smelly halls of the hospital! Looking at sickly people and sickly people looking back at us. Watching people sleep, looking at premature babies and stuff. It was pretty cool. We also went into the intensive care area and the emergency room.

Yep yep. That was our field trip. :P


The cool looking entrance of the hospital.

The Piercing.

Getting a lip piercing was not on my list of things to do today. lol. but here I am. :P

The day started off with Anatomy, then afterwards I just hung out with Keisha. We talked, and talked, and talked some more and we took pictures on her photobooth as usual. This one guy sitting next to us, who just happened to be listening in on our conversation, joined in for a bit. Haha. I think it’s turning into a tradition. After class, Keisha and I buy some Cha for Tea and we hang out for a bit or until she gets picked up.

I wanted to hang out with my 3 stooges today so I texted Jess. I picked up Jess and Jean and we went over to Ron’s place. While Ron was in the bathroom, I took the liberty of changing his laptop desktop image picture to two gay Asians wearing mankinis. LOL. This is something that Charlie likes to do when I leave my laptop unattended. Only instead of men in mankinis, he would put a picture of a gothic guy, aka my dearest Atticus. Haha.

Anyways, when Ron came into his room, sat in his chair, and minimized the screen, he beheld the glorious background that was on his beloved laptop and said “What the heck!?” lol. And I sat there, hiding behind Jean trying to hold in my laughter so that the question of WHO had changed his background would be painfully obvious. “Stef!” he said as he looked at me. haha.

“Gosh Ron, I didn’t know you rolled that way” said Jess. hee hee hee. *sigh* good times, good times. :)

We all ate at Gyu Kaku in Pasadena. I really wanted Jess to start speaking in Japanese to the waitress. It would’ve been cool but I guess Jess was too embarrassed to show off her Japanese skills. *sigh* maybe next time. :)


The problem was waiting for the food to cook. :P



Lonely boy.








Jean showed us this store with a whole bunch of chibi toy things and we went to Abercrombie & Fitch because Jess STILL has yet to use her gift cards. Lol. She didn’t buy anything today. Perhaps next time…

We went into the apple store and took pictures on photobooth just for fun. Wonder if the employees were annoyed. I bet people do that all the time though. It seemed that they had blocked both Myspace and Facebook. lol. people always go there just to check up on that stuff. haha. funny.








Om nom nom nom!


Nikki was getting her tattoo today and we wanted to see her get it. On the drive to Glendale, we all talked about what kind of tattoo we would get and stuff like that. When we got there, I thought to myself, “Hmm. Well, we’re here… Maybe I should get that lip ring now…” haha.

Poor Nikki looked so scared to get her tattoo. It looked like she was about to cry sometimes but she didn’t. Good job Nikki! Proud of you! XD

Haha. This guy that worked at the tattoo parlor was funny. I was like “I want a lip piercing” and he said “Why don’t you get both.” Jess was like “I want a cartilage piercing” and he said “Why don’t you get the industrial? Two piercings with one.” He was a dork. Just trying to squeeze more money out of us. tsk tsk.

It was going to be either Jean or Jess that was going to get a piercing with me. Jess didn’t have enough money for the both of them. Jean wanted to get a lip ring , same as me, but he wanted me to go first for some reason.


Silly Stacey.



Nikki's support. :)



We're both thinking "Crap am I really gonna get this piercing!?"



The noob.



Silly Stacey once again. lol.


It didn’t hurt that much. Not really. It could’ve been worse. I have to gurgle with Listerine after every time I eat and I have to clean the outside with dial soap. It shouldn’t be too hard to take care of. Oh and there's a video too, and I look like a noob. :P

I guess my only problem is my parents finding out about it. I guess it won’t be to hard because on the weekdays I pretty much don’t even see my parents since I’m not home from 5am to 10 pm. Haha. But then again, it IS the weekend so I have a problem.
