Some current thoughts:

  • Thank God for my straight A's this quarter.
  • I wish I could get with such a perfect girl like that, but it doesn't seem to be written in the stars. What I would give... Doesn't hurt to imagine though...
  • I'm thankful for what I have.
  • Vacations are totally necessary.
  • Family matters, and I love mine.
  • Hey Ronnel, you're not so bad at this Life thingy, aren't you?

    Yay! No more finals! No more classes! For at least three weeks, that is...

    Well, I finally get to TRY and keep up with my blogging. I've been SO lazy lately. Sucks for me to cuz there's been SO much to blog about! Finals were cool, I thought I did well on them, and the two A's I've earned so far proves that I have. Just anxious for my last grade.

    We threw an after finals party last Friday at my place. This party was OFF THE HOOK. It had a bit of trouble in the beginning, in regards to not having a container for the jungle juice I made, and the DJ came kinda late, but eventually, it got in gear. I made two batches of jungle juice, the first was mixed by ant and I. ULTRA strong yet nobody knew it. It was so sweet! It later came back to haunt us as that was what people were throwing up later in the night. The second batch tasted like skittles. Boy, no one knew how strong those drinks were, to their folly! Muhahahahahaha! I also made a few hand selected drinks by my new shaker. THOSE were good, just ask anyone who had the privelege to try one. The aftermath sucked tho. I had to clean up mad vomit. I mean FUCK. We never had a problem with vomit before! Why now!?! It's like someone brought a group of friends who came to the party, drank, then ALL decided to vomit, IN RANDOM PLACES. There was vomit on our FRONT DOOR, vomit in my roomie Alex's room, vomit outside his room, etc etc etc. DAMN! At least use a sink, or cup, or go outside, or a toilet! Shit, they even missed the toilet and got it's perimeters! We had TWO massive parties before this one, and there was NEVER a problem with vomit. I'm disgusted at these people's lack of respect, or lack of ALCOHOL TOLERANCE. I blame myself, and the jungle juice, cuz it was RED vomit we cleaned up, and that could've only meant one thing.... The RED jungle juice.

    Saturday was partial recovery day. Picked up Joe and Geoff to grab lunch, which we did at YUMMY YUMMY CHICKEN TERIYAKI at Horton, but not before dropping my roomie Eugene off at the airport. Afterwards, I did the gross cleaning, dropped Joe and Geoff home, then went to the all-new "Barona Valley Ranch" casino where I fucking lost money but had a good dinner. Hmph.

    Today was chill, or technically, yesterday. Went to church, at at Kanpai, napped all day, ate at In n Out, then went to the Misa de Gallo. Got boba afterwards, and now, I'm bored and chillin' at Mark's house, missin' the "online action." :-Þ

    Well, at least I'm on "vacation!" Yay!

    Cool friends are the best!
    BUT, at least I have two of em done already!!! And my hard one is out of the way. Hooray! =)

    Seriously tho, two in one day sucks balls. I love the acronyms I've been coming up for FINALS lately. I'll have to list them sometime when I feel like it ^_^
    I hate finals...

    Been so busy lately, haven't really had much time to blog. :-\ Below is just a summary, before I forget what I did. :-Þ

    Thanksgiving Weekend:
    Wednesday
    Classes felt really short. Ate at home, and waited for kuya to get out of work. Travelled to LA that night, with our special "packages." Had one of the best nights clubbing in a long time at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood, an event called Extravaganza. With my brothas, got crunked up in the car then met up with Matt and Christine at the Club. Saw some UCSD friends there! Seriously, I had SOOOO MUCH fun, and I was pretty buzzed that night. Had a great time. We ate at a nearby cafe which had some good food. Picked up my cousins from USC then journeyed home.

    Thanksgiving Day
    Slept only a little, then travelled to the relatives house. GOT MY GRUB ON. Had my traditional turkey leg along with loads of mashed potatoes and Arbor Mist wine. ^_^ Chilled all day at the relatives pad and tried my luck at In Between, the family gambling game. Won 5 bucks, hehe. Journeyed back to my pad, borrowed a DVD, and chilled for the rest of the night. Crashed out late again.

    Friday
    Woke up butt-early to hit up the Black Friday sales! Got to the NEX at 8am. It was chaotic, people everywhere. Between my cousins and I, we spent nearly 300 bucks, and waited in line for almost an hour just to pay. Ate lunch with the fam at Karihan then started our journey back to LA. Ate at the Shabu-shabu house in Little Tokyo that night! HELLA GOOD grub. Waited an hour just to get seated, but it was extremely worth it. Christine treated Ryan and I. Thanks cuz! Dropped off my cousins then headed to meet up with Joe. Last minute decisions landed us at another club that night. I was too tired and too sober to have much fun. Left the club "early" and crashed at Joe's brother's house in San Gabriel.

    Saturday
    Woke up EARLY again, for the third day in a row, to go snowboarding at Mountain High. Met a few of Joe's friends who came with us. Fell asleep on the way there. Ended up renting a board because my board wasn't set to go. It had really nice bindings that were easy to use. The day was definitely AWESOME. While we were up there, it snowed!!! I would have to say that it was the first time I've seen SNOW FALL. Snowboarded til we couldn't snowboard anymore then headed back to LA. Stopped to get grub at a Japanese restaurant. Feenin' for Miso soup! Then we spent the rest of the evening at ARCADE INFINITY, where they had cool Japanese arcade games not normally seen. Got boba with Joe then crashed again.

    Sunday
    Had plans to leave early and try to make the 10am mass back home. That didn't happen. Woke up around noon and had lunch again at the Shabu-shabu house with Joe's family, who never makes me pay. I guess it's just retribution, cuz my family never makes Joe pay. Hehe. Ran a few errands with Joe, quick stop at his home, then headed back to SD. On the way down, I accidentally took a wrong ramp and lost Joe. Did a 180 and tried to catch up to Joe, but that didn't happen. Zoomed down the latter part of the 5 freeway doing 90-100 along with some other cars. Fun stuff! Got back in less that 1.5hrs around 3:30pm. Caught the 5pm mass then was able to go with my parents to Barona, where we ate along with family and friends. Crashed at home.

    Monday
    Went to only one class, Tagalog! Headed back home home afterwards to eat the yummy food my Tito Ramon cooked. Crashed again at the 'rents house.

    Tuesday
    Slept in and waited for my tito and tita to return, before leaving my grandma and getting my car serviced. Learned how to cook Adobo and short ribs today! Adobo is my favorite filipino dish! Yay, I'm happy my tito taught me this. Said my farewells to tito Ramon and tita baby for they left yesterday back to Australia, and I wasn't able to see them off. Got home and stayed up til 5am doing my program and portfolio. FUN STUFF.

    Wednesday
    Classes were eh. On a good note, had the KP Kris Kringle party that night. That was cool. Lotsa food, familiar faces, and great gifts. It was well needed.

    Today
    Had a job interview at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. Really wishing I get this job. The boba job at Quickly is starting to drag, for reasons left to be unmentioned, for now. Got my car battery replaced, which was needed cuz my old one was dead. Tires "not" rotated but the alignment done. Had dinner at Kanpai! Definitely yummy to my tummy. Drinking boba for now.....

    Tomorrow
    Last day of the quarter. Time to clap for my professors. Here we gooooooo.
