the only time i've ever tried to save money

2009-09-08T20:40:00.000-07:00

i've never been a very aesthetically inclined person (science is my thing). i like stuff, and buy it... that's pretty much it. so i for one am the first to be surprised that i decided to start making little trinket bracelets. i refuse to pay $50 for this stuff when all it took me was a pair of pliers and my forever 21 necklace.

la day

2009-09-04T21:57:00.000-07:00

spent the day in la with my old, new friend maritess and her bf irwin. lol. so maritess and i have basically grown up together, but we've never been good enough friends to hang out for a day. but our love of shopping and fashion has brought us together. venice was a bust, full of people seeking medical marijuana and smells funny. went down to toast cafe. deeeeeelish. not only is the food phenomenal, but apparently it's a hot spot for ex-boyband people because we saw aaron carter and ashley parker angel... and some dude from rage against the machine.. still dunno his name. lol.

anyway... got to go to opening ceremony. passed it a couple times because the effing sign is like made outta wire n is basically see thru. lol. i loved the stuff there, but the workers were so snobby that it effected my shopping. well... almost.. i got a pair of acne atacoma wedges. OMG they are friggen amazing. i knew that if i tried them on i would buy them, and i did. maritess ended up getting a pair as well... they are super wedges or something... super high, but probably one of the most comfortable pair of shoes i own.

after that we were pretty much done... it was a fun day and i hope to do it again.

somewhere out there... there is a proud mother.

2009-08-31T23:32:00.000-07:00

today was an early celebration of my good friend raymond's bday. went out to lunch and did a little of a photoshoot. went into the mountains of chino in this 100 degree heat. bah. it was hot... but fun times were had. and if you're wondering. vest: h&m, romper: free people,sandals: enzo angiolini

slight update

2009-08-26T23:22:00.000-07:00

so i decided to sit and do a real blog for once in this crazy time. just came back from jersey last night. it was literally hotter than balls there. sweaty balls. that's the only way i can describe the weather there. the couple days before i left were ok, but the bulk of the trip was pure sweatness.

got to play with my cutie little niece all week. lady is a big ball of rolls and giggles. super cute.
got to hang with my face twin... calas. love the girl. life is one big photoshoot when she's around. i loves it.

finally. got to hang out with my hubs. i miss him every time. and i'm slightly depressed all the time thinking about leaving him. maaaaan. i wanna move to nyc so bad.

i'm totally in that crossroad in life where i'm trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life. i'm 25. a nurse. living at home. depressing right? though i want all these things, here are my parents telling me i can't leave. does that sound right? ya... didn't think so. damn my obedient upbringing! oh well... to be continued.

summer is coming to a close and soon i shall do a recap. just not tonight... losing steam. hhahaha.

Just so you know, doctors are here to diagnose, not heal. We heal. All saints [hospital] is in the business of flipping beds. That's it. End of story.

i feel that i need some new pieces in the wardrobe. 1 one being a tougher vest. leather or denim? that is the question

on another note. my jc shoes came. a little while ago i posted something about the need for the opening ceremony wedges that chloe sevigny was sporting. and now jeffrey campbell has some pretty legit wedges of pretty much the same caliber. they are prety comfy which i am quite happy about. dunno where the apprapro place to debut such a shoe... but i'm happy i have them

went to san diego with raymond yesterday. goodtimes... great weather. this is one of the pictures i took. i'm getting better =)

2009-06-30T12:05:00.000-07:00

summer is in full swing and i couldn't be happier. i've had some amazing vacays (maui & jersey) and a mini getaway with ray to sd tomorrow. and also i got loads of concerts coming my way (incubus, coldplay, no doubt, blink) i couldn't ask for a better summer.

i was talking to raymond yesterday, and we were talking about how this is the first summer where we are truly, 100% carefree. no tests, no worrying about graduating, and we have the means to do as we please. awesome!

i was just thinking back on the past year and just thought... wow... so much shit has happened in the past year, but i'm same ol' g. or i'd like to think so. at the root of it all it, i really think that i haven't changed much. have i gotten tougher? yeah... comes with growing up and leaving childish attitudes in the past, but the 'fat girl' personality has always remained. i love whole-heartedly, i'm loyal like a golden retriever, and i follow boy bands like a 14 year old girl. i don't think i'll ever shake that, but hey... i don't want to.

my september deadline of stopping my spending-spree is fastly approaching. oh man... i'm scared, but whatever... i gotta do it or else i will be working for nothing and won't have anything to show for my hard work.

i don't even think this post makes sense.... but wutever... i'm gonna clean my closet.

dramatics

2009-06-16T08:35:00.000-07:00

so i wrote this e-mail to a person expressing some feelings about our friendship. it was kinda harsh, but it was everything i wanted to say about them and our lost friendship that i never said because i didn't wanna be too mean (which apparently i get a lot). anyway, i think that chapter of my life is over and i'm happy to move on from it without any more thoughts about it. it was irking me for over a year about our relationship and now that i got it outta me via e-mail (yeah.. well not the most personal way but wutever) i can move on from this. i'm a great person to know... i really don't think i'm the problem. i use to... but not anymore. i've been the same way for 25 years, and for people to just stop liking it now is ridunk.

this goes for other people who just woke up one day and decided to stop being friends with me. i don't think about those people anymore, but just this one particular person. i don't think they realize that their stupid antics hurt people. they are more concerned with gaining something rather than making it a 2 way street. whatever... over this bullshit. like i said.... i'm 25 years old. this shit should be a thing of the past.

i hope this happens in nordstrom or something

new moon trailer and thoughts

2009-06-01T09:17:00.000-07:00

official new moon trailer.... dear god november cannot come fast enough.

so here are my thoughts... well... my only thought... halo jacob black! is it wrong for me, a 25 year old female, to have the hots for a 16 year old male? i'm gonna say no. and here's is why... in new moon the wolves age to their peak... age-ness.... and then stop. so thus, he technically is suppose to have the body as he would at say.... 25 years of age. sigh... who knew the other half of shark boy and lava girl had it in him...

when i saw this amazing piece of art a few months ago i was totally in love, but after much combing i heard opening ceremony wasn't gonna release them. i got over to a degree, but then i hear that they are selling them for a limited time and u could pre-order... these bad boys are gonna set me back a good $600+. now non-recession jen would be on that list already. but recession jen is around and seeing that i JUST paid off 2 of my 3 major credit cards i had to take a step back and assess the situation. is this an apprapro time for such deelish shoes? it also doesn't help that they are gingerly sitting on the feet of one of my fashion icons miss chloe sevigny. i dunno... oh the dilemnas of this world... life is hard!

2009-05-23T17:51:00.000-07:00

so i figure as i watch my jon & kate +8 marathon (day 2) thought i would blog about my recent trip.

so aj and i went to maui. stayed in kahului. its pretty much the only major city-like area in maui. we were kinda disappointed because it was a city and there wasn't any local pretty beaches. we were on the water, but it was like industrial, but pretty beaches were in driving distance. it was like 5 miles to paradise. so very happy. got an amazing tan and got to eat some local food. got to spend 8 great days with my dear bf. now as the memorial day weekend comes and goes i have to go back to work. =( waaaahhhhhhhh.

i miss maui

2009-05-22T15:29:00.000-07:00

back from maui and totally missing the sun. the weather is nice back home though. sigh..... i wants more beach time!!!

Maui time!

everybody in khaki...

2009-05-05T00:54:00.000-07:00

once in a while i "fall into the GAP" and shop there for some preppy basics. i especially appreciate their ankle length pants for us not so average 32" inseam pants they like to call average height. anywhooooo... it has come to my attention that my dear, sweet alexander wang will be doing a khaki collection for them. i'm a fan of khaki. when i was between the ages of 13-15 i thought it was super cool to wear cargo khakis with my baby blue FUBU longsleeve. anywho... that is neither here nor there. as i was saying... super excited... and super happy to have the khaki motorcycle jacket.

and as an added bonus.... let us enjoy the good ole' gap ads. this was when i first discovered phantom planet hot dude. no... not jason schwartzman. alex what's his face

2009-05-03T22:44:00.001-07:00

so i got really lazy posting pictures from portland. but anyway.... rest of the time there was spent shopping and eating and just being lazy. portland is a nice city. totally not what i was expecting. went to the nike employee store. brother's bff works for them.... soooooo awesome. my inner sneakerhead came around. anywho... definitely dropped some bills, but super worth it! definitely will be visiting again. now for vacay #3 in 11 days! gonna go to maui with the bf and spend a week in the sun. i'm gonna get hella dark.... i foresee it already.

Greetings from the PDX (aka portland). So I have a few moments to blog and I thought I'd recap myfirst day here. Quite fun I must say. Went for dim sum with the fam. Went filipino food shopping for some filipino food party we're having for brother n brynne and their pals. Also got to go shopping for a little bit which is also nice. Didn't buy too much. Just some vintage eyeglasses and a beanie. We're going to the nike compound today so that should be exciting. Stay tuned friends...

prom season=quarter life crisis

2009-04-09T13:30:00.000-07:00

so reading all these blogs and whatever about prom dress ideas and what not got me thinking about my own prom 7 years ago (ahhhhh 7 years ago?!?!?).

i would say that if i had to do it all over again, i wouldn't. it was kinda unnecessary and i didn't go with anyone i TRULY wanted to go with. don't get me wrong, joey was a good date, and we were really good friends at the time. but man... why didn't homer take me?!??!? lol. that age old statement. i do have to say that my senior prom was the best i was looking at that point in my life. the year, 2002, the school, rosary. i had dropped half my size and i was looking FIERCE. i borrowed tin's prom dress for her hs prom and boy.., was hot pink the color that season. lol. i do have to say that i coulda gone lighter on the blush.

so 7 years ago i went to prom... and i had a good time. i danced, i whined in the corner for a little while. and then it got me thinking about the person i was in high school. and i have to say i'm pretty much that person (with a few tweeks here and there). i'm still that fat girl with bad acne who likes to laugh and joke around all the time and does funny dances. the difference now is that i don't shop at torrid anymore. still into boy bands, still into britney spears, and still living at home. hahah oh man... those were the days...

the old hs crew and dates

hot pink.... so 2002

dude who took me to prom, joey

dude who didn't take me to prom, homer

this warms my cold cold heart.

2009-04-08T22:09:00.000-07:00

so me and mandy j went to barnes and noble today and saw this cute little thing strolling in. CUTE! i'm ovulating rite now! hahaha

wishing for some god given gifts.

2009-04-08T07:33:00.000-07:00

you know.. i wish i had a really cool talent. like i could do some crazy martial arts or sing like celine dion. i dunno... just saying. i was watching dwts and thought to myself, "could that have been me dancing with mark ballas instead of shawn johnson?" lucky bitch by the way.... i heart mark ballas. he's so hot. le sigh....

i laughed so hard i cried.

sometimes... scratch that... a lotta times i feel that i'm such a newbie on the job. and being that i've really only been on the job for like 6 months makes me more of a novice than i wish to be. it's a scary job i have (having to take care of people). even the simplest task of passing medications can mess screw with a person... agh... i wish i trusted my OWN judgment more such that i can be the nurse i wanna be.

what recession?

2009-03-26T21:08:00.000-07:00

living at home is nice...

today i bought my tickets for jersey and portland. so nice! it was payday so i thought i should look for deals on tickets and i was lucky. so i'm heading to jersey april 14-20, come home and go to the britney spears concert with the girls, couple days off, work for 3 then go to portland for 5 days. then after a shiz load of more working i'm off to maui with the bf for 8 days.

i like to think of it as putting money back into the economy. and i'm happy to say that i'm making good payments on my bills and managing my money pretty well. i'm not exactly saving a buttload of cash, but i have money, i'm spending money, and i'm getting to do what i wanna do.

i know that this whole spending spree can't last forever, but i wanna do stuff all the time. i will say the shopping has cut back tremendously.

so erim and jhoneil had their baby girl. jherielle alvara fundan born march 24weighing 8lbs 5 oz. she's super cute and super chubby cheeky! i can't wait to meet her in a couple weeks. she totally looks like her dad with her mom's skin color. lol. i wish i was there for the delivery, but it's ok. i'm sure times are crazy rite now.

anyway, sleeping early tonite... workout, massages with evie, and sushi!

silver anniversary of life

2009-03-22T22:39:00.000-07:00

so i turned 25 a few days ago, and i must say... i'm exhausted! i woke up with my first hangover ever in life. i can't even say if it was a hangover because i've never had one. it's like saying i love u but not really knowing if u really are in love because u've never been in love. rite? i dunno.... alls i know is that i felt like hell wen i woke up this afteroon.

so recap: wednesday nite i worked, but my great cc norina ordered pizza for the floor wen she found out it was my birthday. thanks nor! thursday was spent with the family eating chinese food and cake. friday was mr. ryan itchon's birthday celebration at busby's in la. so fun. got to see a lotta pals i havent seen in a while. danced it up and left. then saturday was my celebration in dt fullerton. went to commonwealth lounge. place is pretty poppin. definitely on my radar. then today i woke up at 1230 and ate jack in the box. i felt like i needed something of that sort to settle my stomach. then i went scrubs shopping with mommy and then cleaned and scrubbed my bathroom and tub.

25 doesnt feel as different as 24 except i'm one step closer to being old. lol. i don't mind the aging, as long as my derm lady can fix my face accordingly. hahah.

anywho, next few months should be nice and busy. brother bought a house in portland so i think imma go up there for a little n see what it's all about. then a possible jersey trip somewhere in between, britney spears concert, and then maui! ahhh so uch crap to do so little money. oh well.... life is swell

mo rocca and tim gunn... life is complete

2009-03-22T22:37:00.001-07:00

i really miss my long hair...

2009-03-17T00:41:00.001-07:00

get rite. get tite.

2009-03-12T20:54:00.000-07:00

i swear dude... all my patients were crazy (or turned crazy) lastnite at work. i'm blaming on the full moon. one of my patients was just a pain in the ass, and another one got confused n almost fell outta bed n we found her wedged between the side rails n mattress. her effing caretaker was sleeping in an empty bed next to her snoring her life away. thank god my coworkers are AMAZING and helped a sister out. bahhhh. thank god i'm not back tonite either. working tomorrow which is fine. usually the upside of working weekends is that its a little calmer.

so me and aj's trip is finally confirmed. we're going to MAUI! yup.... may 14-21. shall be exciting. he didn't wanna go to oahu cuz it was too busy for him, which is fine because i've already been there. it'll be nice to be chillin on a beach with my main squeeze.

on that note i've been doing well with the workouts. increasing the intensity n what not. feeling really good about it. i hate working out at the gym in the evening though. there's so many effing 'bros' with tribal tats and spaghetti string tank tops on. it's disgusting. n of course they all know eachother n congregate in front of the bikes n talk about protein shakes or whatever. i have to be getting old because these bitches who are going to the gym are mad young looking. n they go to the gym all done did and looking fine. they go on the stairmaster for 7 minutes n then scope out the bros. i swear.. white people amaze me sometimes. whatever... gives me something to watch whilst im on the elliptical.

on a mission

2009-03-10T20:38:00.001-07:00

so i've discovered that working out is making me a more tolerable person. i started working out regularly a few weeks ago cuz i was feeling pudgy. then me and the gentleman caller decided to take a trip to hawaii and now i'm in workout mode. i'm gonna be realistic n not think i'll be ano by the time we go (in may), but i'm hoping to see a little bit less of me in the bathing suit. but in addition to getting fit, it's really improved my mood. i'm not as cranky and i can stay up more in the day. i have better sleep patterns and what not. so i can't complain. hopefully i can keep this up.

so on that note... me n mj went to lunch and had cupcakes. lol. there's this place called dolcissimo at chino hills shoppes n we just wanted to check it out... super yummy! they are pretty much a sprinkles rip, but they are still delicious. definitely going again... but perhaps getting the mini instead.

lemon cake with strawberry frosting... heavenly

adding it to the white boy list

2009-03-03T16:31:00.001-08:00

you know... sometimes in my life i have this hankoring for white boys. i mostly think they're idiots (it's not a racism thing, it's a life experience thing) then you have ur brad pitts, robert pattinsons, and what have you that make you think otherwise. today i had a hankoring for white boys... jesse mccartney (of dreamstreet fame). dude is cute. and totally didn't think he'd grow up to be the hottest of the group (i was a chris fan). and he's doing big things. i like his new video, though i'm confused on the whole car jumping and what have you idea.... oh well...

barbies and boys...

2009-03-03T11:51:00.001-08:00

2009-02-23T21:21:00.001-08:00

so i know this is 2 shoe blogs in one day, but i don't care.... our favorite fierce diva, mr. christian siriano had inked a deal with payless earlier this year. and here are some previews of what's in store. ahhhh so amazing can't wait. i don't even care that his designs bare a striking resemblance to the rodarte x louboutin collab.

roses are red, codes are blue

2009-02-14T09:08:00.000-08:00

sooooo today i had my first code blue. i must say... it was not exhilarating, it was not exciting, it was not rewarding. i was scared shitless and basically paralyzed by my own mind. i almost started crying when i was bagging my patient cuz i couldn't remember anything i was suppose to be doing. so here's how it went down...

so my patient had really shitty blood pressures all day. keep in mind a regular bp is like 120/80 or somewhere in that ball park. hers was 70s/50s all day. so the doc knew all this and whatever and she was acting fine so we were just watching her. so around 4am, i go in to take her vital signs and its like 50/30. i'm like... hmmmmm perhaps i shall call the doc? ask some opinions of the more seasoned nurses and cumulatively decide to call the doc. she was acting fine and responding so i didn't think it was a big deal... and it wasn't. the doc acknowledged my findings n decided to wait for the morn to deal with it if she was asymptomatic. annnywhooo, as soon i was finished writing my little blurb about calling the doc my patiet's oxygen saturation monitor started going crazy, so i go in to see what was up and she was all sweaty and not responding. and thus starts the organized chaos that is a code blue. one of the nurses, hana, came in and saw my pt wasn't looking too good so she's like, "hmmm code blue?" then benedict (one of the most awesome nurses i've ever witnessed) comes barreling through the door with the crash cart screaming, "call a code blue! call a code blue!" i swear he was pushin that cart like he was on supermarket sweep. so he starts compressions whilst i clumsily put on the leads. so i'm bagging her, and trying not to cry and finally the icu nurses and respiratory therapists come and take over and i stand in the corner and try to be somewhat of a help by telling everyone why she was there and what led up to such a debacle. and my charge nurses jen and norina were awesome at helping me cope... cuz trust... i was gonna have meltdown. anywho... she pulled through, as did i. first code in life. god willing this won't be a trend.... but such is my life that i will encounter this more than a few times. i feel like a phony though. people kept telling me good job and i didn't even do anything. i was on the verge of tears, and now i think i made myself sick because of this anxiety. bah... thank god for my other co-workers who took care of the patient... AND me. what would i have done without them?

oh yeah... HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE! the bf was quite sweet and sent me some super pretty red roses. i was quite surprised... even though i knew they were coming. hehehe. and to everyone who doesn't have someone who likes it enough to put a ring on it, SO WHAT. enjoy the day, eat some chocolate and sizzle on the syrup.. PEACE

real quick...

2009-02-12T06:00:00.000-08:00

what the frickity frack! why why why am i up? again? for the 3rd time this week i'm up before the sun. this is suppose to be me week off! blaahhhh. so now... here i am.... blogging. i think i'm gonna hit up the gym for a hot minute. my face if kinda whack rite now from getting a chemical peel so i think it'll be nice to go early when there's no one around to stare at me. people are not slick about taking a peek at my face. anywho... real quick... here's a gander at my hello kitty for mac purchases.... pardon the mess. i kinda basically ripped everything open and started playing.

some non-concerns...

2009-02-11T16:50:00.000-08:00

so aubrey o'day formerly known as the skanky one from danity kane is featured on the march issue of playboy. it doesn't take a crystal ball to have seen this one coming... i must say though... playboy's make up artists are phenomenal they always make the women featured look great.... but seriously... the pic looks waaaaaay photoshopped... almost to the point where it looks like a painting n not a picture...

also on my radar is the photoshoot for harper's bazaar with helena christensen (a la chris isaak's wicked games video fame, circa 1991) and gossip girl's very own chuck bass (aka ed westwick). pretty hot... NOT as hot as gq's spread last year featuring joseph gordon-levitt and claudia schiffer. i like them both, i like both models and actors both... but something about jgl and claudia was hotter. do u agree? anywho... yeah.... just thought i'd put my find out there....

post-grammy review

2009-02-08T22:49:00.000-08:00

awesome grammy moments:

1. jennifer hudson's teary-eyed performance (in addition the close up of her fiance 'punk' from i <3 ny... thought i was watching an i <3 ny reunion special for a hot minute)
2. MIA performing with 4 epic rappers on the day she is suppose to give birth
3. carrie underwood's legs
4. one of the back-up guitarists in the john mayer set looked like barack obama
5. coldplay
6. radiohead and the usc band on backup
7. neil diamond and his sparkly jacket

not so awesome grammy moments:

1. joe jonas's salmon colored baby tee with a shunken vest
2. NOT including boyz 2 men in the motown tribute even though their motown album was nominated for 3 awards.
3. kanye west's mullet
4. chris brown going all domestic violence on rihanna causing them both not to make it to the grammys.... oooooh man i hope that shit gets straightened out.

overall... a good show. it's gotten way better in the past few years.

you know... you'd think that doctors wouldn't be such a-holes, because they wanna help people and shit. nope... a handful of times i've pretty much gotten my ass handed to me by bitchassness doctors who think it's okay to scold a grown ass adult like she was a child. not cool. i'm getting use to it, but the thing is... should i have to? i'm not doing anything wrong, only trying to better patient care. if u can't ask the doctor how to better care for THEIR patient... who can u ask?

2 most hated phrases from doctors: "so why are you calling me?" & "do you understand?" always with a condescending tone dude... ALWAYS!

my life at a glance...

2009-01-29T22:52:00.000-08:00

so i feel like i haven't been giving my attention to my blog like i promised i would. but i mean... the working world isn't what it's cracked up to be. it has pretty much saturated my life and i sleep most of the day. things that i am all about rite now:

chictopia.com: the reason i bought harem pants

i'm still on the twilight tip. i can't shake it

my show of the moment

I dunno why, but i'm really excited to see watch them move into their massive house.

it's what's for dinner...

probably the reason why i have bowel issues.

jersey city antics

2009-01-27T15:42:00.000-08:00

greetings from jersey city, nj! so i'm sitting here wathing jon & kate plus 8 and waiting for the bf to finish our dinner. if this setup is any indication of how life together will be, i'm all for it. me sitting here blogging and him cooking... very good. so i've been here for almost a week. it's freeeeeezing. it's never been this cold wen i'm here in the winter. still got to go out though. it was fun. went to garden state mall... biggest mall in jersey. went to nyc to shop, and i also got to see my good friend aka the twin... ms. kristina calas. we ate lunch and did a little shopping. and decided that we needed to start a blog. hopefully we'll start blogging together soon. because we crack ourselves up... why not everyone else?

anywho... off to eat tacos... peace son!

2008-12-23T09:29:00.000-08:00

(filipino version of twilight, made for tv series)

2008-12-19T16:47:00.000-08:00

i have to clean...

recession say wha?

2008-12-18T13:31:00.000-08:00

i dunno how i managed to do this more than once, twice, or thrice in my life, but i'm about to max out my nordstrom card (hasn't happened yet, thank you pay day!). but i swear once more week without a check and i probably woulda gotten myself in an ugly predicament.

shopping is a sick sick illness that i need to get help for. BUT i told myself that once the new year comes, i'm going to stop shopping (a lot) and get my finances in order.. you know... cuz i'm an adult now and shit.

2008-12-16T20:32:00.000-08:00

so i totally got pixel laser treatment for my acne scars a few days ago. i gotta say... it better be worth it because recovery sucks ass. i am swollen to all hell. no joke... im not allergic to anything, but if i ate something i was horribly allergic to i'd probably look like what i look like right now. my face is huge and red and my eyes are pretty much almost swollen shut. my glasses dont even fit rite on my face. i look like a fat chinese boy or something. but the chick i went to keeps assuring me that it's worth it. lord i hope it is... cuz i wouldn't be able to do this 2 more times. i shoulda took a before pic of my skin to see if there was a difference, but we shall see one i heal.

i've been off work for 4 days now recovering. i took lastnite n tonite off. i wouldn't have been able to go in the way i look. my vision is compromised. anywho... that's all. i really have nothing else to say. almost christmas time!

filipino guilt

2008-12-07T16:20:00.000-08:00

so today. on my FULL day off, i'm sitting at home cleaning my room d/t filipino guilt. what is filipino guilt u ask? it's my take on jewish guilt. u know when ur about to go out with friends for a fun nite out and ur mom is at home by herself and rite when u reach for that door knob to leave she says, "don't worry, i'll be ok all by myself... eventhough i have heart problems." then bam... ur at home... not even talking to ur mom cuz she's watching tfc. and ur at home, in ur room rotating between the 'book and the 'space. yeah.... that's basically the story of my life. missed opportunities d/t filipino guilt.

i'm 24 years old with a good job still living at home. nothing too wrong with living at home, but wen ur parents still expect u to live by their rules when ur making as much money as them and contributing to the household? heck no. but alas... that is what i do. i didn't get up for church today cuz i woke up at 5pm lastnite cuz i worked for 3 straight nites, then went to sleep at like 4am then they expected me to wake up at 8 for church. needless to say i didn't get up. and there it goes... the guilt trip. that 1. i'm a bad catholic. 2. that i'm disobeying them in sorts for not getting my ass up for church. the ONE full day i have off i have to get up early? no way...

::sigh:: but here i am... cleaning my room cuz i feel bad because i was lectured about "being an adult and if i don't wanna listen to my parents then that's my own choice cuz i'm an adult now." sounds rational on paper rite? not in my mom's voice. whatevs.... i'm going back to work tomorrow... where no one is guilting me into anything.

updates

2008-12-03T11:14:00.000-08:00

so this weekend was pretty fun. went to utah with the bf. he had his med school interview at the "U". i thought it was kinda funny they had a big "U" painted n the side of a mountain. just like the big "A" on that mountain near apu. anyway. the hospital is beautiful. the slc is nice. everything seems to be really close. and the streets always seem empty. so i hope this school works out for him.

so it's back to work for 3 straight nites for me. by nite 2 i'm pretty good with work. so slowly but surely i'm getting the hang of work, but i've been out for a week. so we'll see what happens. i miss my work friends. they are so amazing, and different in the good way that makes u appreciate diversity. lol. ok enough of me getting philosophical.

special announcements: britney's new album out yesterday 'circus'. i actually like it. i'm happy she's back, BUT she needs to start moving more. her foot dragging walk that she's been having in more abundance than before is getting old. c'mon brit! dance more! her tour is starting soon. christa texted me this morn and we are going... hopefully more peeps will wanna go. it'll be fun. pacman/de la hoya fight coming up this weekend. should be interesting... hmmm whatelse? holidays are upon us. i'm actually geared up for it. shopping lists n all. i'm gonna enjoy it cuz i'm in a position to buy gifts n have fun with it. should be fun. that's all for now

me n the bf

temple square

doesn't it look like a gingerbread house?

mormon temple aka sleeping beauty's castle lol

give thanks

2008-11-27T16:31:00.001-08:00

happy thanksgiving friends! not really celebrating here in the sarigan household. moms is at work rite now and we're probably gonna eat tonite. just a regular fam dinner. i ate kfc earlier... and i think that is pretty much the extent of the poultry we're having today. no biggie though. we don't really celebrate thanksgiving too much anyway. i'm sure christmas will be a different story. so i will gear up for that.

i don't really need a holiday to remind me what i'm thankful for. i let it be known what i am thankful for: fam, friends, aj, good health, having a good life. i couldn't be more thankful. so let's celebrate =)

tomorrow i leave for utah. aj has a med school interview over there and i'm meeting him up for a quick holiday retreat. i'm excited for that. havent seen him since i started working in september. should be fun. also wanna check out what salt lake city has to offer me. lol. anyway.... enjoy the holiday folks!

successful shopping trip

2008-11-24T12:37:00.001-08:00

i must say. my not so little cousin aj is quite the lucky teen. ate jenny took him on a shopping spree in the old town pasadena yesterday. the kid has style, what can i say. i genuinely thought he was like 14 or 15. and my mom was telling me to entertain him... all i could think was, "i guess i can take him to see bolt?" well... apparently my math is off, cuz he's 18 and about to go to college. i had fun with him, and i'm glad he gave me an excuse to leave a fam party to go shopping. always good =)

me and the cuzzo

2008-11-24T12:17:00.000-08:00

you guys... i'm really going through twilight withdrawals.

twi-night recap

2008-11-21T12:15:00.001-08:00

totally just woke up from a fun filled evening with the ladies, and alfred. lol. we watched the 0001 showing of twilight. first we stopped at d&b's for food and drank. it was so fun. i love my coworkers and company. we're such a fun group. well considering 4 outta the 7 people that wen out lastnite were apu grads. lol. anywho, here is my recap of the movie. DO NOT proceed if u don't want to be spoiled.

so the movie starts off pretty quick. i was weary of them casting kristen stewart as bella, but she was pretty good. she didn't have that mannish voice she usually has. i have to say, the editing was crazy choppy. it was jumping around and what not. it makes someone who didn't read the book (alfred) not understand what the heck was going on. though the storyline was still good, and followed the sequence of events (with tweaks here and there). i wasn't a fan of the hesitancy in their voices disguised as intensity. the adaptation of the characters that was a little off. like mike newton, they made him a goof. and eric and tyler were korean and black. lol. n of course the korean was geeky and needy. the only thing that made the movie 1/2 as amazing as the book was edward. MY GOD! he is magnificent to look at. truly.... very hot. i couldn't stop giggling through the whole movie. tho... there were some parts where his "brooding" freaked me out... like a look of constipation. i dunno... but i mean i shouldn't expect too much with a movie budget of like 30 mil. definitely the next one will be better. in all... i would recommend it to a friend

aftermath... and then some

2008-11-16T14:09:00.001-08:00

so day 2 of the fire dramz. the fire fighters are still here. there's like 3 or 4 trucks here right now. they are trying to put out this really stubborn fire in a couple of the houses across the street. they put them out n then they reignite. pretty crazy. talked to my next door neighbors. apparently their house caught on fire AGAIN last night at like 11. one of the houses down the street caught on fire again n then the embers flew to their roof. which was crazy cause we were home last night at that time. well the fire peeps put it out but the pressure of the water pretty much caved in their daughter's room. her room is pretty much destroyed, and there is a large gaping hole in their roof. so crazy! that crap was going on like right next door. gah. crazy. so yea... a couple of the streets are still closed. lotsa house got damaged. i dunno how many actually got fully destroyed. the fire men did a really good job at putting them out really quickly.

so the story i heard was that the fire started at the railroad tracks near my house. supposedly probably homeless people lighting a fire? supposedly. not sure.

anywho... that's all i have for now....

lotsa fire trucks

firemen bringing the hose into our neighbor's backyard

channel 2 showed up too

fire update

2008-11-15T19:13:00.001-08:00

so we're back home as of now. the fire is pretty much still blazing in front of us, but it's not as bad as it was this morning. definitely gotta stay alert still though. never know when the winds will change direction. they are only letting residents back in and they closed the 91, 55 , n 57 freeways. so pretty much we're trapped. jk.

the count around here is 3 houses across the street done set aflame. and the next door neighbor's roof got damaged. we have a police watch in front of our house rite now to i guess alert us if it's time to move again.

ugh... i need a shower...

crazy fires

2008-11-15T12:41:00.000-08:00

so as i sit at mt cousin's house thinking about what exactly happened this morning, i thought i'd share my account with u all:

woke up around 0930 thinking, "what's that smell?" thought mom burned something while she was cooking. then i thought.... "hmmm it's cloudy outside". then i look outside and it looks like a bomb went off. smoke was everywhere, my eyes were burning. so i go back inside and pops was going crazy saying we needed to evac. moms was in the closet getting our paperwork and stuff outta the files as well as packing up the purses. lol. i swear.... she done packed up the expensive purses... i.e. gucci, louis vuitton, and marc jacobs.

so around 1030 a buncha fire trucks and stuff rolled into our neighborhood dousing the houses cross the street cause they caught on fire. then my neighbor's house caught on fire, but the firefighters got that under control (by busting in the roof by the way). so it pretty much looked like a battle scene in my little suburban neighborhood. the fire trucks closed off our neighborhood so no one can get in.... but my parents the rational people they are went back. mom left the crock pot on so they wanted to go back to the house to turn it off. will they be able to? who knows.

anyway, as of now we're at my cousin's house in corona/chino waiting it out. we'll see what happens. hopefully we'll be able to go back to our house today.

fire trucks rolling up to my house

ash all up on my car. and fire trucks dousing the backywards with water

91 fwy exit lookin all crazy. everyone parked everywhere

poor jillian... so dirty

trip to borders = not pleased

2008-11-14T22:49:00.000-08:00

really... i haven't see so much unauthorized books since the NSYNC days and i accidentally bought an unauthorized nsync video and it was a vhs full of pictures that were videotaped. i go into borders and there's an unauthorized autobiography of r. patz aka e. cullen and an unauthorized twilight guide...

i tell yah... this thing is gonna be crazy. forreals... i'm gonna be straight up. teenage girls scare me. if me as a teenager is any indication of how other teen girls now are... man... i fear for my safety. me, mj, dnice, sophie, christa, and carrie are gonna watch the 0001 showing of twilight on thursday night. man am i excited. it'll be fun times.

the least the could do is get better pictures.

so in the unauthorized guide. they weigh the pros and cons of vampires vs. werewolves.

2008-11-12T22:44:00.001-08:00

had a good shopping day with d-nice today. its nice to have a salary where u don't gotta stress about the bills as much. i'm sure i wont feel like this forever... so i might as well fill up my closet while i can.

tomorrow is acls class. ugh so not looking forward to this. we gotta do a "mega-code". meaning... we gotta simulate a code blue and be the leader n tell the peeps what to do n what meds to give. n we go in circles taking turns. whatever... as long as im not first. i hate going first. and i'm wearing a sturdy bra tomorrow for those chest compressions.

so i was listening to kroq the other day and an incubus song came on. man... incubus reminds me of high school senior year and the birth of "badeuce". where everything was hella chillness. it reminds me of hawaii and getting dark as hell too. those were probably some of the best times in my life. ah memories... i wonder what all those badeuce peeps are up to these days.

things that crossed my path today

2008-11-11T23:03:00.000-08:00

- deniece telling the acls mannequin "you 'dun converted." after she successfully shocked the dummy outta vtach.

- the abundance of peanut wiggins-like women in out acls class

- a really good ass charley's steak sandwich for lunch

- sophie hiding in a bush from the mean nurse educator for having acrylic nails.

- adult learners (ugh)

they'll probably be mad at me for posting these pics... oh well... here are some of the co-workers walking around our place of occupation.

and now... a few words from sarah silverman

2008-11-11T17:04:00.001-08:00

"I would like to adopt someday, thank you. I think if you adopt, you really have to go brown with it because otherwise you don't get the credit."
