bleh. another day of classes. missed my physics class. talked to Marie all night and all morning. we fell asleep talking to each (like we usually do). i woke up twice and noticed we weren't on the line with each other so i'd call her... twice she mentioned things to me when i was falling asleep or asleep and so i made her repeat it a third time (little did she know that i actually heard it the second time... ke ke ke...). anyways... yeah... so we talked all morning. we decided to take a nap at around 7:40 before we had to part at 9. you know.. just a little nap... we'd wake up around 8:20. woke up at 8:40!! she had to hang up and call me again to wake me up. so i missed my physics class.

an interesting shower i had. my room mate was in the other shower and he started singing. i told him to sing some rap. so he sings his usual rap lyrics "yo! yo! yoooo! yo yo yo". then he started to sing some old skool Janet Jackson songs like "tearing up my heart", "digital get down", "i drive myself crazy", and her most recent one "gone". very amusing.

brought Catherine's gift with me to geography thinking she'd show. nope! she missed her chance. now she'll never ever get it again. this gift was the one Lisa told me to give to her way back when she left for Berkeley. ke ke ke. come on... that's not late. for me... that's pretty early. Catherine's lucky that she's getting it at all!! so i gave the gift to Cindy cause she'll probably see Catherine before i do and cause i was gonna walk to Westwood after class and it'd be a hassle for me to carry that bag around.

it seemed like i wasn't gonna spend anytime with my boo at all today. wrong. we practically spent the entire day together. we were on the phone with each other all the times we weren't together.

i woke up early. i went to sleep early. fell asleep around 10... or whenever i got home from bowling. of course... fell asleep talking to my babe. i woke up at around 6:30. my brother-in-law and sister and their family arrived a lil' later. they had arrived straight from Bakersfield. they had a lot of fun. the whole family went. i apparently missed out on a lot. Jill got her licensce! congratulations Jill-Bill!! they played taboo and various other games. awww... i feel bad i missed out. but i got to spend all day with my boo. it was a good day that we had. so anyways... Milan and her entire second grade class had a retreat at Sacred Heart so she and my sister had to be dropped off at 9 o'clock. after that, my brother, Asia, Sierra, and i went to
Fry's Electronics to look for the "Kindred" DVD set. remember that old scary TV drama on NBC? i don't either but apparently a lot of the family was into it so they decided to get the entire season. so Fry's didn't have it so we just checked out the Car Audio and Video, the cell phones, the telephones, and the car magazines. Fry's has such a wide selection of magazines. Even more than Barnes and Nobles. screw gowing there anymore. they've got all the magazines at Fry's. i bought the Road & Track Sports & GT Cars Unleashed with 29 of the world's best sports cars. yeah. a lot of cool info. the Porsche 911 GT2 is sooooooo the car i need to buy when i have $180,000 just lying around. "To put the GT2 into perspective, the only cars in our Road Test Summary that can accelerate faster are million dollar machines such as the McLaren F1, and two purpose-built race cars: the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR and Le Mans-winning Porsche 911 GT1. Even the $275,000-plus Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 and the $480,000-plus Ferrari F50 would have trouble keeping up... It now holds the title of being the fastest street-legal production car around the famed Nurburgring racetrack, beating the 911 GT3's lap record." is that not impressive?! geez! that is the pimp ride right there.

so we killed time at Fry's just reading magazines before Best Buy would open at 11. left Fry's at 10:00. we were there for an hour yet it seemed like forever! the kids occupied themselves in the shopping cart by moving about here and there by grasping and pushing on things. kids can find the craziest things to amuse themselves. i think i'm still one. we went to Metro Pointe and checked out the Verizon store, Tilly's, and Old Navy. Theresa showed up with her sister to give me the movie ("Memento" which was very good). we parted. Then we went to Sports Chalet because we still had another 30 minutes to kill. looked at the snowboarding gear (my brother found some tight snow skates and boots). they had a tight snowboarding video playing. it was awesome. guys doing 360 flips and other things i can't even begin to describe or demonstrate with my hands. so yeah. that got me motivated into buying my Limited board and bindings at P.F. McMullins! come on Theresa! that's our next big purchase!!! afterwards, went to Best Buy. quickly found the Kindred DVD and bought it.

my brother dropped me off at church. there, i surprised Marie and her sister. i was able to catch the Homily and then on. yeah! got to shake her hand! wahoo! ate at Del Taco afterwards. got a new Britney Spears sticky-thing. Marie was suppose to take me home afterwards... she took me to her home instead! ack! all through the drive i was begging her to drive me home or to let me out of the car. i didn't want to get shot by her dad. turned out no one was home. *phew* what a releif. so i took her dolphin that she was throwing out. it was life sized! it was so cool!

left her house around 1:15. she had work at 1:30... so i told her that i'd have someone pick me up from her work. took her a lil' bit of convincing but yeah... she gave in (who's got who whipped??? wait... in actually... did you get me to go out of my way so that you wouldn't be late for work?! nooo!!). okay... so i had my brother pick me up after he picked up my sister and Milan from Sacred Heart since Marie's work was on their way home. in the 40 minutes that it took him to pick me up... i slept in Marie's car. it was insanely hot. but it was okay. i was too sleepy to care. i gave the dolphin to my nieces. they liked him. got to my sisters... turned out that more of my cousins and nieces and nephews were headed there so there was a mini party. my brother had me set up the sticker picture machine (yep.... they have a sticker picture machine in their garage! my brother use to work for Atlust Dream... he probably set up the sticker picture machine at your local place... ) so yeah... set up a four square court in the middle of the street in front of the house... that was fun... setup an obstacle course thing for us Razor riders. we had about 8 Razors that day. i tried carving with that thing... it's pretty easy... that was fun. Marie thought she was working 'till 6 but instead she only had to work 'till 3! so she calls me around 4:30 to tell me that she didn't have to work that long. so she left and showed up at my brother's house. my nieces and nephews were happy to see her. they had a lot of fun together. they're opening up to her a lot. Milan and Sierra are talking to her more now. Adriel totally played her today. he pretended to be hurt and started crying. he got her to hug and kiss him on the cheek. after the kiss we wiggled out of her grasp, smiled, and ran off. haha! you got played. it's impressive to see that she's good with kids. i was just kidding babes when i said you were bad with kids.... i was only kidding. so... my mom nags me to go home. so Marie and i head over to Carl's Jr. (haha, mom). and then we head over to Video $1 to return "Memento". my mom calls again telling me to come home... i tell her i am (haha).

so we quickly step into Video $1, return the movie, pay the late fee, and then walk out 2 minutes later. awww... but guess who couldn't find their keys? haha. naw... it was really sad... =o( poor boo, it took her a while cause her keys were all the way at the bottom of her bag. she got really worried. i tried helping her remember! i wasn't being a dick, i didn't make fun of her.

so she dropped me off and we parted. how sad! that was the last i saw of her! =o( until Thursday, babe. my mom dropped me off at school. that was that. took off my sweater and shirt... laid in my bed... and fell asleep talking to Marie.

[2.8.2002 - 2.9.2002]


okay... these two days are combined because i had no sleep in between them.

the 8th was Friday. drove up to UCLA early in the morning. i finally made it to L.A. early enough to get breakfast and make it to my first class of the day! cool. went to only three of my classes today. i started falling asleep during math. i knocked out twice! so i decided i was too tired to make it through 3 more hours of classes. i went back to the dorms where i slept for 5 hours straight. i had my geography midterm today. it was mad cool!! it was pretty easy and basic stuff. you just had to explain certain concepts. there really wasn't any essay writing! love that class. it's so cool. what a GPA booster.

woke up and just chilled in my dorm. i didn't leave yet because i told Cindy i'd take her home to O.C. with me. i didn't have my lap top so i just watched MTV. Roy left for home so i was all by myself in my dorm! ahh!! *sigh* i ate some puzzles. at around 8:15 i decided to try and get a hold of Cindy (i waited until then because she told me she had practice until 8). i came across Chris half-way to Cindy's dorm and he told me that they were at my dorm getting some food (doh! just missed 'em). so i walked back with him and met up with Cindy, Jolene, and Catherine. left UCLA sometime after 9 and got Cindy back home around 9:35. traffic was not bad at all! it was so nice. came across an NSX... Cindy thought the lights were pretty cool. i think so too. she noticed that the car looked "different". it's nice to know that Cindy has some aesthetic taste in cars... she noticed the body styling of the NSX. right on Cindy! good stuff!

dropped Cindy off. stopped by Savons and made a call to the MISS. didn't want to go home cause they'd never let me out of the house. well... that wouldn't have stopped me but they would've been very, very angry at me (it's not like they're not mad already... it's just that they'd have more reason to be mad). went to Theresa's and painted the car. Theresa drove Eliza all the way to Marie's (i didn't pick up Marie earlier because she couldn't get out of the house) and drove her all the way back to her house. watched Memento at Theresa's. Marie and I stayed awake. Theresa and Katherine fell asleep here and there. we left the movie with Theresa so she could watch it and get a better understanding of it. after that, Marie and I hung out a bit. around 2:00 she gets a voice mail from her dad asking where she's at (eeek! she got caught). she calls up her dad and tells her Theresa picked her up earlier that night and she's staying there right now. so her dad wants to talk to Theresa... Marie conferences to Theresa's cell and wakes her up (sorry!). Theresa gets an ear-full from Marie's dad... and helps Marie and I out a whole lot. we owe you, Theresa!! we love you, Theresa! sorry to put you in that situation! so... Marie is let off with a yelling on the phone. so... for breakfast, we head over to McDonalds... we get Theresa and her sister some, too. we figure that's the least we could do for waking her up and getting her yelled at when she had no reason to. so... we head over to the beach (CDM) and chill at the rocks. a film crew was there and so were some fisherman and so were some cheerleaders from Bolsa Grande High School. we were there for quite a while and then headed to the park (Wakeham). we chilled there, too. saw some kids and joggers and other people. then we went to In 'N Out where we had some lunch. headed back to the park where we chilled some more. left abruptly cause Marie got a call from her dad saying he wanted her home to help clean up for the New Years party they were having the next day. that was that. Marie got a lecture from her dad when she returned home.

i got to finally clean the interior Eliza even though i was dead tired and it was hella windy. Eliza has never been so clean and sleek (on the inside). i finally cleaned the inside windows. so much condensation has built up because of me leaving the windows open at night. put armor all on all the finishes so every thing is slippery when you touch it (even the steering wheel and the shift knob). Marie randomly shows up while i'm vacuuming the floor mats. what a surprise!!! i didn't expect to see her until a week cause she'd be in trouble. turns out she had to drop off her sister somewhere... and so she came by to pay a visit. awww...! how sweet! Theresa shows up too. Marie shows Theresa how well she's developed at driving stick shift... while i'm still in front of my house vacuuming the dirty-ass floor mats. Marie comes back... and guess what! she reverses into the driveway! you know how slick that is? the driveway is inclined too!! wow! that's my girl. Marie leaves right after and i take Theresa for a spin around the neighborhood. she does so incredibly well! she stalled maybe once... but she stopped whenever she could (every 5 seconds or so. she'd launch and then immediately stop to try it again). i even let her push Eliza... i let her gun it in first and second gear. she was very impressed by Eliza's acceleration. while she was driving... i was able to spray the interior windows with windex... haha... that was cool... laying in the trunk space of Eliza while she's moving.

Theresa leaves to pick up her sister's friends or something. Katherine was having her birthday party that evening. they were going bowling at Irvine Lanes right next to Palace Park. i asked her if i could join and she said yeah... soo... Alex calls me up and he and Steve are both thinking about going bowling too. i tell him about Theresa's sister party and invite them along. Marie shows up again at my house! i'm on the phone with her and she asks me who is home. i tell her it's just my mom and my dad and she immediately opens the door to my room. what a surprise! twice in one day. how cool is that. so yeah... she chills for a while and checks her mail. i pick out my outfit for bowling (cause you gotta be comfortable bowling). i pick out my "Perfect Score" bowling shirt that says "Perfect Score" and has some bowling pins on it (i never scored a perfect 300 ever... i don't know why i have it...). Marie gets worried because she was scheduled to work earlier that day. turns out that everything is fine with her boss.
