Word of the Day: Jeechet (verb);
Pronunciation: [ 'jee-chet?]
Definition: "Did you eat yet?" in hurried US English

hehe i get a word of the day sent to me everyday..this was one from wednesday..thought it was kinda funny/silly so i'll quote it for today. i wonder what foreigners must think when they see words like this in actual print. man they must think we're lazy, yet entertaining right? "man i'm hungry, jeechet?" that reminds me of chet from weird science, haha man that guy looked nasty!

so anyways, random thought...stars are pretty awesome. not hollywood stars, the actual star-stars in the sky! when i was younger i was really into that kind of stuff. well i guess more just the star-gazing aspect. i think it was all those field trips we took to the griffith park observatory back then. i always enjoyed the star show in that huge auditorium, nix the weird narration. haha. i thought that some day maybe i'd be an astronomer. never happened as you can see. i did want to take the astronomy classes they had at uci. but people who had taken it always recommended against it saying it was so boring. now i wish i hadn't listened. i think mainly because i always wanted to look through that huge telescope that uci had. oooooh nevermind lookie what i found! yay that means i can visit during those times. woohoo, and i WILL y'know=P.

i think i got all interested in it lately because of the meteor show that's going to happen this sunday. pretty cool i think. i kinda want to just sit out on the swing and stare up into the sky that night. that'd be nice and relaxing. hehe maybe pour a glass of wine while i'm at it=P. let's see if fifi will join me now..aww romantical. haha.

thank goodness it's friday. though i must say that august seems to be moving by quite fast. can't believe it's almost the end of summer! need to go to the beach again. it's always nice and relaxing to be by the water, hopefully the beach isn't too crowded though.

lesson of the week: unless fully confirmed, don't go believing what you hear and spread the news. man, that's how rumors start.

i want to take pictures. but i need to get my poor lens fixed=/.

yay lunchtime..leeeeeeeeee's sandwich! mmmm.

heehee oh yeah..and if you haven't seen it..google the filipino inmates/thriller dance..hahah high-larious! freaking filipinos man=P

-went to a wedding this past saturday, i CAN NOT believe the priest forgot to have the couple say their vows AND he didn't even announce them as mr. & mrs. yadda yadda...geeeeeeeeez. i think he got confused and thought the filipino customs during the wedding replaced the traditional vows? i dunno..still in shock over that one.

glad it's finally friday. still not sure what we're going to do tonight..but whatever we decide should be fun nonetheless right? hmm not so much to blog about right now..i just wanted to say yay to the two earlier, cuz i forgot to blog it wed. night. so we'll just go with random thoughts for now.

-it's funny how if you eat something salty you crave for something sweet afterwards and vice versa.

-me & fifi got to watch a free prescreening of license to wed at the new tustin amc. see, being a kbig community person paid off..haha. woohoo first to see a movie screening at that theater. man, that place is going to be packed once everything is done=/. and the movie wasn't too bad either=).

-korean bbq is so freaking yum!

-came this close (pinching my fingers really close) to buying our grill on wednesday. boo to bad the only one they had left in stock was the one on display. i dunno, i really wanted a brand new one i guess.

-trader joe's parmesan and garlic pita chips are so bomb!..haha so are spicy shrimp chips. well not the chips but those stick ones.

-yuck my back is starting to peel now.

-top chef and so you think you can dance are fun to watch.

-riding a bike for a long time hurts my pelvic bone/thigh area. maybe i need those supercool padded bike shorts?

-haha i used to wear bike shorts with my l.a. gear shoes and double tank tops when i was in elementary school. they were the coolest back then!

-stupid pigeons keep sitting on one section of our roof and sh*%tting on our patio. man need to tell the association.

-i can't stand stupid people.

-i love rewatching friends and hana yori dango=P

-cheerios w/ the blueberry burst ones are pretty good

-can't believe it'll be july on sunday already!

-bah i have to work again on sunday.

-i wonder where we'll watch fireworks this year? love me some fireworks.

-heehee the fireworks show at disneyland after fantasmic was where me & louieboy first held hands=)..awww. ha!

-ruffles and salsa are muy bueno.

-hmm i noticed i made a lot of remarks on food. haha

ahh the beach was lovely. weather was great, water was cool, sun was shining. i had a nice relaxing time at newport. what isn't so lovely is the nasty sunburn i got on my back=(. it's in such ugly spots too! imagine 2 red huge blotches of sunburnt skin on your shoulder blade area. I wore my little fisherman hat so that my face wouldn't get dark and I guess it shaded the top middle of my back and kept the rest of my skin exposed to the sun. Ha, it's sooooooooo ugly! I went to the beach to get rid of my wifebeater tan lines in front, and I end up getting more nasty tan lines in back.

boo and you know what else sucks? I brought my slr in case I saw something worthy of my film to shoot, hahah. So of course I do see something. Cute dolphins swimming and jumping near the shore. Now I've seen school of dolphin at the beach before but this was different. They were so freaking close to the shore jumping around by all the bodyboarders and people just standing around. It was crazy! At one point I had that flashback again of the Simpson's where the dolphins take over the world and freaked out a bit. But then they started jumping and stuff that they were cute again in my eyes=). Anyways, I go to my bag to grab my camera and as I'm taking it out of the case I see pieces of glass. Yeah, I forgot to mention that as i was grabbing all my stuff to bring to the beach I dropped my camera. I didn't think it damaged my camera though bc of the case. booo...there goes my fd 35-105. i'm trying to figure out if it's better to just replace the outer portion of glass that got shattered or just get a whole new lens altogether. at first i got relieved thinking only the uv filter got shattered, but now i'm not too sure what else broke. so i better take it to the camera guy again.

lesson learned: don't be a freaking clutz! oh well, i can't complain though. i was able to get some really good shots with that lens. and i did have an awesome time at the beach..so, all good.

happy hour at the edison was pretty cool. it reminds me of a huger version of the basement in downtown long beach. pretty laid back lounge area. had me a few soco and pineapples and of course my shot of patron! on the car ride home i think i was like a non-stop talking machine..ahhaha. my co-worker had a breathalizer in his car so of course we all tested it out..it went from 0.03, 0.056, and mine..0.079. lucky i wasn't the driver! but then again i still was under the legal b/a level!

so whenever me & lou go on mini roadtrips in my car, we like to burn a cd just for the trip. the latest one was for the mudrun drive and it's full of all these random songs. every time i listen to it now i always repeat nuthin but a g thang, summertime in the lbc, lionel ritchie's you are and pop goes my heart (music and lyrics soundtrack). ahahha it's freaking awesome! i love those songs. nothing like bumping the music with the windows rolled down and singing like who gives a f#&*! haha. you know y'all have those moments too=).

had such a lazy filled weekend. well except for yesterday, had to come in for work. but other than that...the weekend was so relaxing. i caught up on some old movies..watched monster-in-law, that movie w/ katie holmes where she's the president's daughter, fantastic 4, need to finish up bend it like beckham. hehe that movie's so funny! mmmm and i liked watching michael vartan in monster-in-law, he's sooo yum! always give me that "awww" you're so cute feeling! like when he was running down the bleachers to kiss drew barrymore in never been kissed. man i love that scene!!

and now..it's only monday...here we go.

it's funny how a 5 minute phone conversation can totally cause a 180 in your mood. well i'm okay now..but dude..30 minutes ago i was fuming and wishing we had a punching bag in the common area of our cubes. i really hate stupid, ignorant people. now yes, i may make stupid, ignorant comments by accident mind you! but i would not make point blank accusations about something i know nothing about. do some research first biznatch before you start speaking garbage from your mouth. it sucks too when your initial intention is calling them back to help them deal with a complaint they have..only to have them turn around and start going off on you on things you have no control over. but whatever if she just needed to let it out fine. i just wish i could've punched her on the other end of the line before i hung up on her=). stupid woman.

it's okay, i believe in karma. so she'll get her share of it one day. muahahhah. okay that's mean. but man, she was superduper mean! ehhhh.

so yay going to go to happy hour with the co-workers today. trying out some new place called the edison? ha, well since i'm all late going with them i doubt it's still new. oh well. so after today's events i think i'll be drinking me some patron=). then again, i'm kinda iffy about getting buzzed around the work peoples. i've always had that thing about keeping my work life separate from my home life. we'll see how it goes. i don't want to have that burned out feeling while i'm here, so might as well make the best of it with the people i get along with. right? right.

woohoo today's my friday! i came in on my monday off this week so i'm gonna be all bummy tomorrow. i'm thinking of lounging at the beach to get rid of the nasty wifebeater tan i got from the mudrun..heheh..hope the weather is still good. any takers, give me a call tomorrow=).

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

sooooooooo glad it's friday. somehow today feels like it's going to be a long, slow day at work though. oh well, at least friday's are really quiet around here. i wonder if i can leave a little earlier today=). ooh seems like friday is off to a good start. heheh my co-worker who's off on fridays just called to say that she forgot her fruit tart from porto's bakery in the fridge yesterday. and guess who gets to have it now...that's right..M-E! hahahah..

yay so i finally got to use my williams and sonoma gift card this week. ha, and what'd i buy? a yummy cupcake book! i'm really anal when it comes to my baking stuff. if it doesn't taste really good to me, then i'm kind of embarrassed to let other people have them. so far i've been pretty okay w/ the cupcakes i've baked. but i am disappointed in my red velvet ones though. i need to improve on that recipe though because i like the frosting for it=). i flipped through the book i got and man, it's freaking yum-o! i could be in that store forever..hehe. but yeah, excited to bake all those cupcakes! too bad fifi doesn't have too much of a sweet tooth for that kind of stuff. now, if i can figure out a way to incorporate gummy bears/worms into the recipe..haha maybe that'll get him hooked!

mud run is this weekend. can't wait. i'm thinking we should do a little better than we did last year. haha seeing as how we stopped and took pictures like every freaking minute=P. too bad we're not doing it as teams this year. i wonder how we're going to do it then? because it's way more fun as a group then running and doing the obstacles by yourself. i'm mean, who wants to play in the mud by themselves?

you know what show has gotten me and lou hooked? how i met your mother. it all started at the ternberry housewarming. haaha thanks a lot tommy! just kidding. that show is awesome. we finished the first season yesterday and started season 2. hey tommy, did you know you and ted have similar black blazers and y'all wear them the same way?=). could you imagine going to a pub/bar every night? luckies! they have one right next door to them. hehe. that's always a nice way to unwind. too bad we take the train home. it's hard to go to happy hours with my co-workers here in downtown. and then by the time we get home, happy hours are almost done. i wonder if we can find some in tustin that last until 7 at least. anyone? anyone?

before i forget....happy birthday elainamaboppers!!!!!!!!! have a good one=)
