If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.
-Dale Carnegie
first off i want to say CONGRATULATIONS to ate and jason..hehe they just found out that they're going to be having a baby boy. hehe my dad is so happy too because he'll finally get a baby boy grandson after having 3 daughters=P. man, only more good things to come. we just had a baby shower for my younger cousin who is also expecting a baby boy! wow, going to be a baby filled year..bunch of youngins are going to be running around like crazy now! awww they're soooo cutie patoots!
ehhhhh..why does money need to be involved with everything! well almost everything. but man, there's things that i was hoping to do this year but won't be able to because of our budget for the year. there's just so much other stuff that i wish i could do to help out but i can't. ahhh just so hard..and to add to it even more, no traveling at all this year=(. whatta bummer! i'm totally going to make up for it next year though. come late july next year, i'll get my traveling itch out of the way. i should be grateful though for the places that i have been able to go to so far.
anyone have a craving for japanese shabu-shabu? we checked out this joint in little tokyo for lunch yesterday. i don't get why we've never gone before. it's like literally just a block away. but the wait is crazy! if you don't get in on the first lunch wave..be ready to wait 30mins to an hour. but for everything they give you, i think it's worth it value wise. i guess shabu-shabu becomes an acquired taste. i remember the first time i had it i thought it was so yuck and bland. then we went to japan and i think we just loved it for the fact that we were all tourists enjoying ourselves over there. so i guess yesterday it was kinda reminiscient for me. heheh..because they really do serve it pretty much how they did in ginza. mmm yum!
i'm really craving cream puffs right now. i think it's because the brother-in-law was talking about beard papa's last weekend..oooooh and now that i can eat fried foods again too, i was thinking of making beignets..sounds good...we'll see how it goes this weekend.
wow, BoB was such a good series! it totally got me into wikipedia'ing about wwII and all the members of easy company. such a good filler while we wait for heroes to start again next week...yatta! haha and i love me my entourage! lloyd freaking cracks me up. hahahaha, "i'm american chinese!"
damn this wrist of mine. it's been hurting a lot more lately. ahhhhh i hope my thumbs/wrists can hold out for 2 more weeks when i see the doctor! i keep forgetting to ice them like romeyshmoe recommended. arghh, must remember tonight!
boo poor sanjaya got booted off. no, i didn't expect him to win american idol. yes i think he did poorly in the finals! buuuut, i was a fan of his when he first tried out. i just wish that he wow'd everyone like he wow'd me & the judges during his tryout song. he kinda reminded me of camille a few seasons ago. like sanjaya, i totally rooted for camille after i saw her tryout bc if i remember right she did a lauryn hill song. and i was like, cool i haven't heard anyone do that song before. but the both of them just couldn't get out of their shells!..boo..oh well.
on a serious note though..my thoughts and prayers for the families suffering from the va tech tragedy...

Chemically speaking, chocolate really is the world's perfect food.
-Michael Levine
mmm so it's back to french fries and chocolates for me, yessirree! although i am surprised that when easter came around i wasn't stuffing my face w/ these foods. in fact i totally forgot about it until late sunday evening. i saw the bowl of candy my sister's bought me since i couldn't eat chocolate, and i was like woohoo i can freaking eat chocolate now! so i go to the fridge and start enjoying those tiny morsels of italian chocolate. mmmmm it was grand. then i moved on to the chocolate bar..mmm. i was even surprised that fifi joined me in my snacking. heheh. then on monday we ate at mcdonald's. finally i was able to get me a quarter pounder and FRENCH FRIES!!! the fries were glorious. hahah. you know how you can go to mcdonald's and it's either a hit or miss w/ the fries. luckily we got a freshly fried batch.
dangit, but they totally ruined the enjoyment with their new food wrappers/containers. i never knew that they were putting the nutritional information on them now. dude i like inhaled those fries nonetheless. did you also know that there's no more 2 cheeseburger value meal? well unless it was just that one mcdonalds we went to by the tustin costco. i haven't eaten those meals for a while so i'm not sure.
ooh so we've been playing cooking mama..hahah "better zen mama." gotta love the wii. need to put that thing use more. we've been so caught up in this one anime monster, but now that that's over we need to start playing the wii more. but i totally want guitar hero 2 for the xbox. ahhhhh must resist tempation. need to save. need to save!
man, i'm so grossed out right now. we were out in the field and were crossing the street...and i freaking stepped on poop. now, i truly think it was human poopy. only because of the area we were in an how disgusting it can get. blehhh...so i scrubbed and scrubbed the sole of my shoe, but i can still smell it faintly. groooooooooooooooooss. i don't even want to wear this shoe, i keep taking it off but get scared that someone will see my shoe all the way by the end of my cube..haha. i'm gonna bleach/clorox that sucker when i get home. yucky!
so we started to incorporate more running workouts into our weekly regime. boo, it's not even long runs for marathon training or anything but my knee is already feeling it. and next week starts the training for the mud run. this sucks mucho. first the wrists..then my thumbs..and now my knees again. i'm getting old..no es bueno.
oh well. it's friday, i shouldn't be whining..heheh.

Maybe it's in the basement, let me go up stairs and check.
-M.C. Escher
dude so i must be in pms mode or something cuz i was sooooo freaking irritated on the train this morning. normally i love the train. In the mornings i sleep like a baby..haha. but this week we got a new conductor and he talks loud as heck!!! Our usual conductor must understand how much we loathe getting on the train at 539am!, and thus speaks in a soothing voice about what stop is next, watch your step, hold on to the railing, ticket check, etc.. so i like him, his calm voice let's me sleep in the morning. On the other hand, this rookie sucks a$$ man! He talks so freaking loud, doesn't know how to release the mic on the p.a system, and talks like every 3 minutes..dude, on a train ride for about an hour it gets to be really annoying. now imagine my annoyance whilst pms is upon me. grrrrrr!
Then there's the uncle at the bus stop. after we reach the station we take the local bus to our respective work locations. there's always got to be that one loud guy seeking attention huh? this one is like a filipino uncle. when he yawns, he makes this yawning noise which he must think is funny. when he greets someone, he always has to include "brother." cracks me up though every morning when he says it to our african american bus driver (p.c man!). "hey, good morning brother, how you doing my brother, heyyy brother!" he says/does other things that are annoying but i usually don't care and just roll my eyes. i must've been in a yuck mood this morning bc of the stupid conductor cuz today uncle just irritated the heck out of me. haha poor fifi must've seen me roll my eyes a gazillion times. so he suggested i get ear plugs for the train, since union station is the last stop anyways. we'll see. maybe i'll just bring my mp3 player again.
so i think i might be getting carpal tunnel or some type of tendonitis/arthritis. the base of my thumb joint and my wrists have been so sore this past week. i mean my wrists used to crack before but lately they've been cracking a lot louder and it feels different. it sucks, i'll put my hand on the mouse and i start feeling my wrists get all stiff. boo and even when i type. like at this very moment my wrists are already feeling sore. geez, i didn't think i'd get this type of thing already. hopefully it's just minor.
because heroes is making me wait like crazy, we've been having band of brothers nights, aka bob night, lately. wow, that series is freaking awesome. really crazy how much they had to go through. sooooo scary! there's like so many parts where i'm jumping because of all the shooting or i'll just cover my eyes like a chicken, hehe. me & lou were jogging around the airforce hangar last week and were like, whoa this is where soldiers were training for that war! they were probably running along these same streets..i keep wikipedia'ing the characters because some of them i just can't believe that they were really the way they're portrayed. oooh and the actors who play spears and roe are nice to look at too..hehe.
