Out with the High School Kids!

Well, since I'm going to be on my blog more, here's a new blog already! =) yay!!!

So today I had a pretty cool day today! Oh wait! before I forget, I'm not going to bore you guys by posting EVERYDAY... I'm just going to post the days where I do something cool. So back to the story...

I woke up today at 8:30am because it was FREAKING hot. I can't believe how hot it's getting now. Geez how soon I forget that the Cali sun burns so hot. So, after getting ready around 9:30-ish, I left my house to pick up my PAYCHECK at school. I am SO happy to get my paycheck finally! For those of you who don't know, my job pays me every month, but the good part is that it's NOT taxed!

So after doing all my errands, I go help Heidi and JayR and her dad pick up this treadmill at Big 5 by our house. We rented at U-Haul Van , and me, JayR and Heidi played this game where you had to balance in the van standing up. So it got too hot and we all decided to quit. We get the treadmill, drop it off at Heidi's house and I bounce hella quick because I had to run more errands with my sister.

Me and my Sister needed to get our passports renewed, so we had to go to the post office hella quick because I got her at 11:30, and the passport thing in the post office closed at 12. It ended up that it didn't matter because we needed an appointment anyways. So me and my sister ended up going to Costco so we can get pictures and so my sister can eat. I also bought a NINTENDO DS LITE!!! Best toy ever!!! So yeah, Auntie Ellen also called me and told me she needed me to pick her up and take her, little Zoe, and Austin to the store. After dropping everyone off, the BEST PART OF THE DAY STARTED........

And it all started right when i picked up ms. Diandra! =) After picking her up, we went to pick up Jake who really wasn't ready yet. So me and Diandra decided to play 2-Handed Thumb War, and of course I won! o well...next time Diandra!!! So Jake came out the house like he just got out of bed, and I started cracking up! After that we picked up Ryan, and decided to go to Pinoy Bistro for some KICK ASS FOOD!

Pinoy Bistro was fun... a lot of random laughter, and a LOT of myspacing! Diandra said she wanted some "BANG - US" and "PINK - A - BET".. hahaha.. funny and cute at the same time! =) She has this one face she does..and it always makes me want to pinch her cheeks!!! awwww =) so ANYWAYS...after some Calamari, Shrimp Fried Rice, Talapia, and a GRIP of soda, we decided to leave and go to the mall.

Cerritos mall... mmmm.. The place where you can see almost every person you know. Me and Jake decided to play a little game where we see who knows more people at the mall. I ended up winning 6-2 =) sorry Jake, seeing the same people more than twice doesn't count! LOL. Well Ryan and Diandra almost get kicked out of KB Toy Store, and me and Jake went hunting for a game I wanted. After a while, we ended up going to Toys R Us only to find out that the game wasn't there either... =( we FINALLY decided to go BOWLING!

Bowling was pretty fun, basically, I won =) but Jake didn't do too bad, Ryan surprised me and Jake, and Diandra.. did HELLA good for her first time! =) yeah uh..that's right I taught her too! we ended up playing 2 games, and Jake was pretty close the first time, but I slaughtered him the 2nd game! After Bowling, we decided to chill at Ryan's house!!!

So..we watched The Notebook, ,Diandra and Ryan were "fighting" for almost 30 minutes, Jake was scared of me jumping on him. and we all ate these scalloped potatoes! It was pretty chill actually since i was hella tired from me waking up so early this morning!

So that was my day! and I have a few things to say to my favorite High Schoolers

Ryan, I know the secret!! haahhaaha but I can't tell..but maybe Jake will tell you later? O well.. thanks for all the drinks at your house! we should all chill some more!

Jake, HAHAHA... you are always funny as hell. Today was no exception. I see that you practiced bowling! Sucker! I still beat you! but thanks for the Pinoy Bistro! Good idea..it was pretty good food! =p Man...isn't wat I told you confusing?!!? =/

Diandra, O gosh.. I can't stop loving you! hahaha.. you are such an awesome kid and your awesome-ness keeps growing every day! =) I'm sure you'll pass your test next time, just don't forget what you learned from your mistakes! =) O well, let's hang out more in the summer time!! YEAH UH!!! =)

all rights..I got traffic school early tomorrow..so I'm off! Laters!!!

It's Been A Long Time and A Long Year

So, I haven't really kept up with my blog like I said I would, but I think all that's going to change. I feel like I have a lot to say, and this blog might be a little too long, but hey! It's been a year since I have blogged!

I feel that I have changed a lot since my last post. I have learned new things, and have met new people. I don't even know where to start with my blog, but I think I'll go in order of importance from least to greatest.

What's least important in my life right now are girls. Honestlly, I know I'm always like "Oh! she's hot" or "I want to get with her", but right now, I don't think I can handle it. I mean, it would be awesome if a girlfriend just fell in my life right now, but it's not like I'm always looking. I made a lot of friends this year because I thought that's what I wanted. I thought having a girlfriend in my life would make me happy, but now I realize that I don't really need one because that's not a main priority in my life... there are other things to worry about then finding a girlfriend. Besides, being single, there's no pressure or guilt hanging out with different people all the time. I just want to live life right now, whatever happens, happens.

Barkada... Oh Barkada... Where would I be in college without Barkada. For those of you who don't know, Barkada is Cal Poly Pomona's Filipino club. I thank all of the wonderful people who I have met there and basically changed my life. Paulo, I think you were possibly my first friend in Barkada and I thank you for all the fun times. Ate Rhea, you are ALWAYS there for me, and for ALL your other ADINGS. From the bottom of my heart, I love you ate! Joy, you have taught me a lot about being a person, being a leader, and just living. Thank you very much for this, you have honestly changed how I think about life. Christine Joy, ever since I've first met you, from like the very first week, we've been through a lot! I will always cherish the memories, and most importantly...the POKES! Marco, I think you were the 2nd person I met in the API. Ever since me you and Paulo realized we had the same Black Automatic RSX. Geoff, haha... Best Buy for life! Even though most of the time we're not serious together, you were there for me! Jon Perry, you have also taught me a lot about being a leader and listening to everyone. You were there for me a lot too. Julian Pabicon... even if you did dislocate my shoulder, I still love you man! hahaha.. from nonosina to barkada! frikkin awesome..hope you're in my math class again! To everyone else, thank you for always being there for me. Barkada has opened my eyes to the real world, and without you guys I would still be lost with no place to go. You guys are honestly my 2nd family!

I feel I have something to say to this one person. She's such an awesome person, and I just wanted to say Thank you for the memories. I don't want to mention her name because I want to keep this private. But I wanted to tell her that I will never forget the memories we've had together. It didn't matter if we went out to eat, movies with her family, or just running errands. I was happy to be with her. No, she's not a girlfriend or an ex or anything, just a really awesome friend. I'm sorry for all that I've done, and hope that we can hang out and talk again. I really miss you.

To all the High School Kids that are GRADUATING!! First of all... CONGRATULATIONS to each and every one of you. I am truly proud of you guys never giving up and graduating high school. I have seen plenty of you guys grow up from immature freshmans, to more mature young adults. Hopefully all of you guys go to college, and pursue high goals. Just remember to never give up. NEVER give up on something you want so badly. I believe in EVER SINGLE ONE OF YOU, and I know you guys can survive. I know college has all those parties and other distractions, but PLEASE remember why you are in college. High School is NOTHING compared to college, and you'll soon see what I mean during your freshman year. There's a lot of stuff to do there, but as long as you keep your priorites straight, I'm sure all of you guys will do well. So good luck to the class of 2006, and hope that you ultimatly reach your goals.

To all the high school kids that think they're cool enough to hang out with me (haha jk!). Even though you guys are all younger, you taught me stuff to, so yeah. Thanks. You showed me that not evey high school kid is an immature, naive, kid that doesn't give a crap about life. A lot of you guys have grown up fast. Jake, first of all, Jake.. I consider you one of my gooood friends out of EVERYONE. Why? Because you are always there, and always willing to help. Oh yeah, you also offer me moldy chicken sandwhiches from Jack in the Box. LOL. but yeah.. Thanks very much Jake Pinawin! Diandra, I know I just met you a few months ago when we all played mini-golf, but you are such a fun and cute friend! I'm always here for you diandra, even if I have to pick you up in Fullerton at 10:30pm beacause you missed the bus! Bianca (aka Binky!) I remember the first time we IM'd each other... it was soooo emotional! lol...and look at you now, you are happy, and that's all I've ever wanted for you. =) You are always my angel! and if you don't remember me telling you that..then BOO to you! Stephanie Lee, haha whether it's randomly going to your house late at night just to say hi, or running into you at cabazon, you have always been there for me! Ever since Hawai'i you have been such an awesome friend. Nikki Venegas!!! what can I say.. I LOVE YOU GIRL!!! You are always there for me no matter what, and of course you can expect the same for me! Hopefully we get to hang out more yeah? Because obvsiously, I only see you once a year! o well! Kiss the kangaroo for me! =) All the other high school kids not mentioned, don't worry you guys are just as cool! Like I've said before, you guys taught me something about high school kids. Good luck with the rest of your high school life. And remember, enjoy it as much as possible... These are your last years as a carefree kid.

To my favorite SUPERS! *SUPER EDIT!!!* How Can I forget the GREAT SPIKE NUTZ!!! always there jst to be real, and always around to help. Thank you for all the help through all these times. i owe you sooo much. Without you or Heidi, I wouldn't be the fruit cake that I am today!! **END SUPER EDIT!!* Gian, damn fool, we've been through so much together, and I appreciate you always being there for me. You have been my best friend since high school, and I thank you for smacking me back to reality when I need it. We have a lot of fun together, but we also have our serious moments. I love you homie, and I know that's never going to change. Heidi Pacifico...since 3RD MOTHER EFF'IN GRADE YO! I can't believe that I've known someone that long. Heidi, I am truly blessed to have a best friend like you. Thank you so much for being there for me. To give me advice on women, or vent on how gay friends can be sometimes! Thanks so much Heidz. I heart you buddie!!!!

This year, the most important thing I have learned is to never give up. I wanted to give up so badly in school because I felt like I was always failing. However, I realized that you can't give up if you want to succeed. People always say that giving up is the cowards way out, and that you are seen as weak if you do. I decided that I am not a coward, and I'm not weak and decided to grind it out. And this quarter, my hardwork actually paid off. If you guys haven't known, I've had a hard time with calculus, and this quarter I worked extra hard and PASSED! This taught me that you can't be lazy at school. It might have worked in high school, but not in college. So that's why I'm telling a lot of kids right now to never give up if you want to succeed. It may be hard work now, but in the future, when you're making 6-figure paychecks, you'll see that it is all worth it. I also want to say to never regret anything you have done in the past. Everything happens for a reason whether it's to learn a lesson, or to smack you back to the real world. So, to all those who say that they've regreted things done in the past, try looking at those regrets and see if there's something to be learned, or even something you can teach others. In conclusion, I would have to say that I have learned to live life to the fullest. Just keep heading towards your goals, and one day you'll reach it, and it'll be the best feeling in the world!
