Where there is love there is life.
-Mahatma Ghandi


oh how i soooo didn't want this weekend to end..it was such a nice break from yucky work and being sick all last week..not that i'm 100% better right now..haha..but still..it was all worth it..we trekked out to the san diego wild animal park with our fingers crossed that it wouldn't rain while we were there..and it didn't..woohoo..so we all got to see the aminals..but bah, too bad the cheetah and tiger exhibits were closed! that would've been nice to see..dude and there were freaking birds everywhere!..don't get me wrong..when they're alone they're nice and pretty..but yuck when they come in flocks..ehhh just too many for me..turns from pretty to gross..haha..okay except for ivy's burrow owl=P

and as much as i loved being near all the giraffes/rhinos/lions/etc...i still feel sorry for them all..i mean yah, it's a park and they get way more space then the zoo..but they still seem like their in captivity..but during our tram tour the guide said the park was originally used and still is used as a breeding facility, especially for endangered species..so okay..i guess that should make up for it?..either way..hahah we all saw it as like the hollywood location for these animals..c'mon, lanolin wax 3 times a week?..hahah i don't think they get that in africa=P...but all in all..i had fun there..

after the park me & boyfriend and cici & jay spent the weekend in san diego...ahhh fun..cold, but fun...what was the lessoned learned this weekend? that when the hostess tells you the wait time..it's always a good idea to add 30 minutes to an hour to that wait..but i guess it was all worth it to say....that we went to the gaslamp strip club ("a steak place")..hahaha...but the same thing happened when me and boyfriend went to cafe 222 for breakfast..*sigh*..all for food..i know..and another lesson..hehe, always a good idea to take your girlfriend out for dessert after dinner...especially if it's extraordinary desserts!! dude i must be like a free spokesperson for that place..but it's sooo yum..i promise!

Extraordinary Desserts!!!!
paninis and cheeses..mmm

The Viking!!!
yuuuuuuuuuuuuum

so yah..with all the eating we did..we got to do our usual walking through the gaslamp district..always fun..spending the day at balboa park...going to the japanese tea gardens and museum of photographic art=P..and just walking around the park amusing ourselves with everyone..it was so cool at the photo museum..i sooo wanted to take a candid of us looking at the pictures..hehe..but no photography allowed inside of course..it felt so artsy fartsy though..but nice..i like being able to do that stuff..and boyfriend always teaches me new things about it also..then we got to go in one of those vintage photo booths and take dorky shots..very cool...i like black and white photos..well these seemed more sepia..but still nice=)

It's all aglow..
San Diego at night (at least our view from the hotel)


dude i had such a weird dream last night..okay well before i got into dreamland..me & lou were watching some bleach anime right?..and i guess the way i was lying on the bed i got sort of a side cramp..like a real quick pain..okay so onto my dream..i had a dream that i had some puncture in my spleen..so when i went to the doctor he said it was lucky that i noticed it early on..b/c eventually it could lead to you to just stop breathing and die..so i freak out..and he's like oh it's okay, you're in the beginning phase still...it won't worsen for some years but you should have surgery to correct it..so the whole time i'm freaking out that i might stop breathing at any moment..then i start freaking about surgery..and start debating if i want to have local anasthesiology done or full...okay end of my dream...

hehe so yah, dreams are weird..i think this past dream was a culmination of my stomach cramp last night and my fear of having my wisdom pulled out b/c i don't know if i want to be passed out locally or fully...weird no?

oh and since i don't know much about the spleen..here's its definition:

spleen (n): A large, highly vascular lymphoid organ, lying in the human body to the left of the stomach below the diaphragm, serving to store blood, disintegrate old blood cells, filter foreign substances from the blood, and produce lymphocytes.

but seeeeeeeeeeeeeee...it has something to do with my stomach!...coincidence??..i hope not!!!

anyways..yah i know i'm weird..but that's my story and i'm sticking to it..the end=)

If we wonder often, the gift of knowledge will come.
-American Indian Proverb, Arapaho


the lesson for today:

it might not be a good idea to play a game of warcraft for over an hour and a half when your girlfriend has a 19-hour workday the following day and she still has to take you home. and that's all i have to say about that!

hahahhah...wasn't in the nicest of moods after last night's festivities..i agree with cicely, warcraft=the enemy!..after what happened last night..oh yes, that is sooooooooo true..don't worry i don't always get like this when warcraft is involved..hahha..but i have to work sooooooo long today!!=(

weekend seemed to go by too quickly...i've realized that it's probably easier for me to just buy a whole new outfit instead of borrowing one piece, then trying to find other pieces to match it...haha..freaking spent 2 hours at the mall on friday AND saturday looking for a creme top to match the skirt i borrowed from cici..only to come out with a plain old creme tank top that i could've just gotten from home...gosh i hate that..i kept thinking, man i should just buy that dress i saw at windsor..but no, i tried to think budget-wise and figured i don't NEED to buy it..all i need is a top..hahah..dude after all the time i spent looking for just a top, i think i should have just bought the dress..it would've saved so much time..hehe cuz i found it at the first store i looked in..oh well...

still had a good time in my pseudo new outfit=P..had a grand old time with friends to celebrate the newly married couple...congratulations alden and a.d!..beautiful wedding!..hehe and thanx for the wonderful open bar you provided for us drunkards..haha table 1 yo!..man, that was fun...and i should remember that a vodka baybreeze and a vodka seabreeze are soooo not the same drink...yeck!..hehe even now though i can't remember which is the one i liked more..so yah, i realize that all future friend weddings are going to be sooooooooo much fun...hahaha so c'mon y'all get married already!

you know what i can't stand?..really extremely fake people..like the ones who vent their emotions and frustrations on you, showing you the vulnerable side that they have..but then go around proclaiming all this nonsense that is so opposite of what they had just told you..just to go along with what everyone else is saying..ehhhh so freaking retarded..don't say you're not like this or like that to prove something to people, when in fact you really are..i wonder if anyone else noticed it?.i don't get it..and i just want to roll my eyes everytime i hear her talking..haha i wonder if i have and if anyone's noticed..oh well..=P
