man oh man..i was this close to meeting my second boyfriend last night!..hahhah that's right mr. clutch himself...my favorito lakers man..mr. robert horry..but alas..me and lou waiting 2 hours to see him wasn't long enough...we were about half an hour away from the man himself..but when it hit 5 o'clock..i guess he had to go..and i was stuck in line still only to find out from the other fans who didn't get to see him..that horry was gone=(...boo..what would've been cool is if they at least stopped people from getting into line at 5 o'clock...so that all the fans who were waiting those two hours to see him would have..but i'm sure his publicists and what not..told him he had to leave his fans behind..cuz i know horry wouldn't have wanted to leave us all dumbfounded like that and without the chance to meet him if it was up to him!...oh well...lou said we tried...and there'd be other times to see horry..hehhehe like on april 10 when we get to watch him and his fellow lakers kick those sacramento queens' asses!!=)..as much as i wanted box seats again..we'll be up in the nosebleeds...cheering like crazy though!..geez so i saw on the news this morning that it's going to rain on tuesday...after such a pretty sunday we had yesterday...all the way to rain?...i swear this weather is sooooo kookoo these days...yah and i also saw on cnn that gas prices are going to be staying how they are up through summer because of the amount of crude oil we have...which sucks cuz i'm planning on buying an suv..and since these gas prices are sky high right now..i'm at a standstill on what to do...hmm..go for the luxury and get the suv that i've always wanted..even if it means i'd have to always refill on gas and have my monetary funds suffer..or be practical and get the cost efficient car that would just make more sense...hhhahahah should be an easy choice...but i'm so hard-headed that i still want the suv...we'll see i guess...

So i was thinking about last friday night and all the good music that the deejays were playing...hahhah the funniest was when the robocop song came on..dancing next to me and lou were ai and jay...hahah and right when that song came on those two busted out the robocop...props to you two..i haven't seen that dance done in like forever!..well..okay not forever..but it has been awhile..i remember when i was in like the 3rd of 4th grade when my older cousins used to be deejays..they always played those types of songs..you know..besides robocop there was "it takes two"-both versions, seduction's and rob base's, then there were also "egypt" and "rock it don't stop it", all the debbie deb and freestyle songs, connie's "funky lil beat", lil suzy's "take me in your arms", stevie b's "spring love"..hahhah geez there's sooo many i could go on and on..but back then i thought those were the coolest songs...dude i still think they're the coolest songs..i'm such an 80's child..so whenever these songs came on...me and my cousins busted out our dope dance moves...that's right..it all started with the side-to-side dance step..hahhaha that's how our ate's and kuya's taught us to dance..we looked like freakin stick people!..and eventually it evolved..into the running man..hahha which turned into the bobby brown or was it the mc hammer=P....then there was the reebok, the cabbage patch..and so on..those were the days..and it's music like last friday night's that always makes me remember those times..and i just picture how silly we must've looked...but back then it was the in thing to wear two pairs of socks matching your outfit, to have the newest style of l.a gear's...my personal preference were the silver and white ones=P...having your hair teased bigger than peg bundy could imagine..although my hair was so thick that it just looked like a lion's mane..and for the guys it was to have their "french cuffed" jeans=P..hahahah..gosh..the kids of today are totally missing out..like when me and lou were pulling into his neighborhood on sunday we saw 3 boys on bikes..and i was like..dude i haven't seen kids on their bikes for a long time..i think kids are so caught up in video games and the internet that they feel like being stuck inside is more fun than riding your bmx's or your banana boat bikes outside...what're they thinking! that mentality's not suppose to kick in til their like our age...hahaha...but i loved being outdoors..i was the biggest tomboy..so yah..see what one little song i heard on friday could do??..triggering all these fun memories..bring on the good times baby!

okay so after work on friday, i was almost out of the building when i remembered that i left my chapstick at my desk..as much as i love my chapstick i love my weekends more..so i decided to keep walking to my car and just buy another one...then i can have 2..one for home one for work..hahaha..right?..so yah i come in to work this morning and cannot find my chapstick anywhere...normally i would think nothing of it..but this is the second time i've left my chapstick on my desk and it's not to be found the next day..hmmm...sounds suspicious to me...i think our janitorial staff has a chapstick culprit...corny i know...but what are the odds?..hahaha...fine i'm over it!...anyways..i hate it when you ask your boss something..and they tell you not to worry about it..that it's not important..and then...as luck would have it...there's a problem with something you designed...and your boss says that it was never brought to his/her attention..whaaaaaaaat??ahhhh....sucks..oh well...so goes the stressful life..you tend to lose memory along with it i guess...bitter much? i guess i'll get over it...it just sucks when it happens and you feel like an ass in the end..anyways...oh joy...time to time signals again..wahoo!!!!..uhhh una pregunta: how do i file my taxes?? i'm so confused=(..where do i start???????????????

ehhhhh i hate ruuuuuuude people..okay so me and my co-worker just come back from doing fieldwork..and we're standing in the lobby waiting for the elevator going UP..up i say!! with the freakin UP button pushed!!...and so..the elevator door opens signaling for the down elevator cuz some guy is getting off on the floor we're on...so me and my co-worker are talking...and then i hear some guy in a sarcastic tone saying "HEL-LOOOO is anyone getting on??...and then i realize that the elevator doors for that elevator going down are still open...and i look at the girl who's in there also and i say "no we're waiting for the elevator going up" and then the biiiatch goes "well then next time could you push the UP button and wait until our doors close?" in like the most bitchiest of tones...then the door closes and i look at my co-worker and i'm just like what the freak?? if i pushed the DOWN button i would've apologized and stuff...but did i? noooo you stupid lady, i pushed the freakin UP button..so of course..the elevator that finally does come up to get us is the one that those 2 people went down on...and what do i see as i enter the elevator? those punks pressed all the levels! so me and my co-worker had to stop at luckily only 4 levels til we got to our floor...geez...these people were in they're freakin late 30's-40's and they're doing crap like that when we didn't even do anything? talk about ignoramous! hahha if that's a word=P..so yah..i'm calm now..we all make stupid mistakes...but man..okay enough..time to celebrate that the weekend is here...any takers to watch shanghai nights??...uno mas!!..hahahha=P..

that's a mouthful of a quote for sure..but very uplifting nonetheless..is that one word or all hyphenated?..dunno..so anyway that yummy layered jell-o i was trying to make for rattan didn't turn out as great as i had imagined=(..but it's not about looks right??..hahah cuz it tastes pretty yummy still=)..okay so i know that our work e-mail gets filtered before we receive them..so i sent this one forward out..it was filled with a bunch of no-nonsense fun facts..yah know like...an ostrich sticks its head in the ground in search of water...once in our lifetime we've swallowed a spider while we were asleep (that one has totally gotten me grossed out for-ever!!!)..hospitals make money by selling the umbilical chords after childbirth to be used in vein transplant surgeries..and other stuff like that right?..so after i forward it i get a message delivery error saying that the e-mail wasn't sent to 3 people because it contained the words "make money." oh..my...gosh...i understand if they sent it back to me if it had something illicit or whatever..but sending it back cuz of the words "make money?"...well i found out later on from lou (since he used to work at that same place that rejected my e-mail=(. heehee) that they probably filtered those words out cuz they (the admin. peoples) though it'd probably be spam ads about making money..so fine..understandable i guess...anyways so that was my story from yesterday..wahoozey!!..the lakers are on a 4-game winning streak...about to make it 5 after the knicks game=P...hasta whala-lay-low=P
