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.

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.

Anticipation is making me late, it's keeping me waiting.
-Carly Simon
ahhhhhh i'm excited. i don't know why. well i kinda do i guess, just waiting for something right now=P. hopefully i get a good response...hehe.
man, i hate how i'm super anal about some things, well my sisters & lou will beg to differ, and say i'm anal about all things. hahah i just like things to work out well and be pretty=P. but dude, i get so disappointed when things don't turn out exactly as i was envisioning. not that i'm not happy with the product, it's just i know i could've done better. and then i keep thinking of things that i could've done instead to make it look nicer, since i was kinda setback with some unforeseen things. but ahh, too late..i got all anxious and finished them up. mistake. oh well, at least lou thought they looked nice. haha that should count right?=) i'll post pics later.
so our roommie eric is starting to see the fascination that me & lou have for japanese culture. he always comes home to see us watching some type of japanese anime, movie, tv show, hahah and even listening to beni. man, if only that japanese tea garden could accomodate more guests i would've totally wanted our reception to be there!..dude it would've been awesome. so we nixed the idea of having a destination wedding. as much as i thought it could really happen in cabo/cancun..we both just have too many family members that we'd really miss if they couldn't make it out to the wedding. wishful thinking. i would've loved it=P, but i love my family more..ehhh too mushy!
yaaaaaaaaaaaay so my older sister is preganeto! i can't believe it. haha, me & my younger sister are so freaking grossed out at her belly. it's all hard and her belly button is going to start expanding soon. weird! i still can't believe that her and jason are having a baby. but yay, it's gonna be so fun, hapa baby!..heheh.
yo so i really need a haircut. my ends are getting so dry from the weather/blowdrying/ straightening! i thought i could get my haircut by the lady i used to go to in irvine, boo but she's on vacation til april 17th! i'm debating if i should go back to the lady that tinz referred me to. she was really good also. man, just lazy to drive. i'm telling you, taking the train to work has totally spoiled me. i don't want to drive anywhere anymore. well if you can guarantee that there won't be any traffic, then i guess i'll go..haha jk!

i would like to note that on Tuesday 3/13..i got a yelling from the tyrant for "not trying my hardest" when asked to do a Pull-up on my own w/o the gravitron machine. Pshhhhhh if YOU only knew how hard it was. meanie!!!!
Yes and no are very powerful words. Mean them when you say them. Respect them when you hear them.
-Michael Josephson
haha it's funny how us girls sometimes have our own way of saying yes and no. i know we've had these conversations multiple times and we still can't figure out why we do it..we just..do? like:
guy: want to eat?
girl: no..but i could.
guy: are you sleepy?
girl: yeah, but not really.
guy: do you want to go home?
girl: yeah, but we don't have to.
haha and when a guy hears that he's like, wtf are you saying!! ha, but if another girl hear's it, she's totally like.."yeah same here"..to which the guy does a double take of wtf are you BOTH saying? okay random thought from random conversations=P.
anyways, i'm so totally lagging on updating our freaking workouts. i lose track of how much i've improved/stagnated. sooooooo tonight i'll be sure to post like the last 2 weeks. exciting i know! who knows, someone out there might truly be interested in the pain i suffer with tyrant boyfriend workout freak fiance guy! hehe, i know he is at least.
gosh so many decisions that need to be made. so much budgeting to keep track of..haha on top of the budgeting that we're already doing=P. aye yay yay. oy ve. what the heck does oy ve mean..my spanish 1 honors mind you!! nerd yes..anyways, my spanish teacher always said that when we said or did something wrong. so i looked it up, and nothing. i wonder if i heard it wrong? but i tend to say it sometimes now too if something is confusing. kinda like ay-ya i guess?
i remember in my shakespeare english lit class senior year in hs, my teacher always wrote comments on my essays about how i jump topics. that tends to be a trend in the way i write in my blogs, how i tell my stories to ppl, yada yada. it just turns out that way. like whatever thought pops in my brain that's what i'm going to tell you dangit!
dude, so the past 2 nights i've had some funky dreams. like on sunday night i dreamt about zombies. and they usually were like grandma/grandpa age. anyways, so in my dream me & lou were in this van trying to get away when all these ppl, both zombies and not, also got on. so we had to pretend we were all dazed like them and would stick our tongues out like them when they were sitting still. then this old grandma zombie grabbed my hand and was like, "what's your name?" while she scratched my wrist with her nails. so i kept trying to avoid her, but she'd always try to get near me and scratch my arm/hand/shoulder. it felt sooooooooo real. the funny thing was when i woke up, i told lou about it and he said he had a dream about zombies too!..but different kinds..but still..trippy dream.
last night's dream was a bit more sad. i ended up in some hospital room and lou, my dad and someone else were being wheelchaired in there from some accident i guess? i hate those kind of dreams. so in the morning when lou was getting ready i gave him a big hug and then when i got into the office i walked to my dad's cube to wait for him to get in. hehe i know he was surprised to see me just sitting on his desk. so we chit-chatted a bit and then i felt better knowing that he's safe=P. hopefully no more weirdo dreams tonight!
ooooh and lastly..happy birthday jenn-tot!!!! have a grrrrrrrrrrreat day=).

gosh so many decisions that need to be made. so much budgeting to keep track of..haha on top of the budgeting that we're already doing=P. aye yay yay. oy ve. what the heck does oy ve mean..my spanish 1 honors mind you!! nerd yes..anyways, my spanish teacher always said that when we said or did something wrong. so i looked it up, and nothing. i wonder if i heard it wrong? but i tend to say it sometimes now too if something is confusing. kinda like ay-ya i guess?
i remember in my shakespeare english lit class senior year in hs, my teacher always wrote comments on my essays about how i jump topics. that tends to be a trend in the way i write in my blogs, how i tell my stories to ppl, yada yada. it just turns out that way. like whatever thought pops in my brain that's what i'm going to tell you dangit!
dude, so the past 2 nights i've had some funky dreams. like on sunday night i dreamt about zombies. and they usually were like grandma/grandpa age. anyways, so in my dream me & lou were in this van trying to get away when all these ppl, both zombies and not, also got on. so we had to pretend we were all dazed like them and would stick our tongues out like them when they were sitting still. then this old grandma zombie grabbed my hand and was like, "what's your name?" while she scratched my wrist with her nails. so i kept trying to avoid her, but she'd always try to get near me and scratch my arm/hand/shoulder. it felt sooooooooo real. the funny thing was when i woke up, i told lou about it and he said he had a dream about zombies too!..but different kinds..but still..trippy dream.
last night's dream was a bit more sad. i ended up in some hospital room and lou, my dad and someone else were being wheelchaired in there from some accident i guess? i hate those kind of dreams. so in the morning when lou was getting ready i gave him a big hug and then when i got into the office i walked to my dad's cube to wait for him to get in. hehe i know he was surprised to see me just sitting on his desk. so we chit-chatted a bit and then i felt better knowing that he's safe=P. hopefully no more weirdo dreams tonight!
ooooh and lastly..happy birthday jenn-tot!!!! have a grrrrrrrrrrreat day=).

Prepare your mind to receive the best that life has to offer.
-Ernest Holmes
ahhh things have slowed down a bit so it's time for a little storytelling. it all happened last saturday. enter curtain scene with *doodadoo**doodadoo* noises a la wayne's world.
i had to wake up early to go into work that day and then head over to san gabriel to work on wedding stuff with cici and her bridal party. while i was there lou was going to cerritos to help install his parents direct tv. a pretty typical day right? ha, that's what i though=P.
i got out of work about an hour earlier than planned and was debating on going home to take a nap because i was freaking tired. but it'd be such a waste to drive home if i was already in downtown and only 15 minutes away from san gabriel. so i called lou to tell him that i got out of work early and was thinking of either coming home to take a nap or going to tinz's or cicely's to crash for a little. then i figure i'll just run some errands around the area real quick instead. ha totally opposite of resting right? so lou just listens to me debating what to do and then asks what time i should be done w/ wedding stuff. so i tell him i'll probably be home around 5 because my cousins were in town and wanted to hang out.
i do my errand shopping then head over to san gabriel for some wedding preparations for cici & jay. instead of leaving san gabriel around 430, i ended up leaving a little past 7. hehe oops. when i get into my car i notice 3 missed calls from lou at 445, 5 and 645pm. i left my purse in cicely's room so i never heard my phone ring. sorry! so i call lou and let him know that i stayed a little later because we ran into a few obstacles in the wedding stuff and i didn't want to go yet until i was satisified w/ how much was done. so being the understanding boyfriend he says:
lou: okay but hurry and come home i'm hungry.
me: yeah i'm hungry too. (and super duper tired!!!)
lou: let's go out to eat tonight!
me: really? (i cooked leftovers the night before and normally we just eat those the next day. haha but who am i to turn down a night out to dinner=P)
lou: yeah sure.
me: okay, what're you doing?
lou: just watching tv, okay come home now!
haha, so i go as fast as one could drive during traffic on the 5 south. boo on that freeway. to which boyfriend calls again:
lou: how come you're taking so long?
me: boooooooo there's traffic on the 5, you said there wouldn't be traffic!
lou: aww, sorry. okay i'll see you soon then.
so i finally get through stupid cerritos traffic by the 5 and call lou.
me: okay i just passed the 55, i should be home in about 5 minutes. want me to just park in front and call you when i get there?
lou: no, just park in the garage like we usually do.
me: umm, okay. (but still totally clueless to everything going on)
i open the garage door expecting to hear either anime or xbox noises blaring from the tv. instead i'm welcomed with darkness and no noise. haha, i'm all excited now too because i got this free sample from the store (similar to those biore pore strips) and i wanted to show it to lou. so i figure oh he's probably on the computer then. so i go upstairs and open the bedroom door, just to peep my head in because i wanna sneak up on him (hehe for some reason i always like scaring him and sneaking up on him, but not vice versa=P). and this is what i find:
1) the lights are all dark, which is normal to me because usually i'll find him watching prison break or arrested development or ms. beni like that..haha. except this time...
2) lou's not in his chair, and i see one of my favorite pics of me & lou on his computer screen.
3) i hear one of the songs by surface playing. i want to say "shower me with your love" but my mind started racing that right now i'm not for sure..boo=/. okay so i'm wondering, uhhh is this like a continuation of valentine's day?
4) then i notice the candle on his desk. i keep panning my head to the left and notice candles on the bookshelf, the nightstand, my dresser, the linen closet..then my field of vision is halted..
5) rewind..i look at the bed..it's all white sheets and on top there's something written out in red rose petals. i skim it really quick because at this point i'm getting really nervous, and see the word "marry". i scroll down some more and see the single red rose and a small blue box with a white ribbon.
(hehe i know, same pic from my previous blog..shhhh!)
and what do i do next? umm yeah..i gasp "oh sh*%!" and close the door. such a romantic response huh? so now i'm in the loft area saying "oh sh*%!" "oh sh*%!" and then i hear lou in the room say "hello??" so i start giggling..ahhh the nerves! and re-open the door. and there he is, all dressed up in his white button up shirt and tan slacks looking so emotional and so heartfelt, it's hard not to love this guy=). yet what do i do? yup, i'm still giggling. i give him a hug and his heart is beating soooooooooooooooo unbelievably fast!
he asks me to get the blue box and as i hand it to him he says to pull the white ribbon. as i pull it, the box unravels and there's a blue jewelry box inside. he gets on his knee and opens the box...ahhh and the prettiest ring is inside=).
i end up kneeling down in front of him because it just felt weird having to look down at him..heheh so as i'm still giggling he's talking. ha, i even remember him saying "why are you laughing, i'm so nervous right now?!"..ha sorry boyfriend..errr i mean feefee=P. and so he asks, and of course i say YES to him!!!!!!!!!
then i quickly ask:
me: oh wait, did you talk to my parents though?
lou: of course i did.
me: when?
lou: i went today (looking all proud of himself)
me: really? i thought you were going to cerritos!
lou: ha, that's what YOU thought, but i planned to go see your parents. i even had to leave agoura earlier and race back because when you called that you got out of work early i was scared you'd go home and see some of the stuff in the room.
me: man, i totally thought you were going to ask them this weekend (bc i'll be out of town)
lou: yeah, i figured you'd think that. and then you'd try to guess after that when i would ask you and try to figure everything out. so i had to do it before that! (heehee because i'm usually pretty good and figuring out lou's surprises=P)
me: hahah awww, smart boyfriend!
then he takes me into the hallway area where i see more candles, a bottle of one of my favorite wines w/ the glasses and a bubble bath full of bubbles and rose petals. to which he tells me that the bubble bath went cold because he had it ready since 5pm because that's when i told him i was coming home...awwwwww sorry! then we had to race to get ready because we had reservations for dinner at 830. at this point i'm soooo happy, yet i know i look extremely junky because i'm really tired. so to make me feel better, lou changes too because we're running of time for me to get ready=P. we end up leaving at 830, but luckily they still took our reservations.
and where did he take me? to Waters, the restaurant where he first asked me out on July 18th, 2001. and this will be the restaurant he took me to after he proposed on February 24th, 2007=). we were even seated at the same table we sat at the very first time. now boyfriend, ahhhh fiance!! won't admit whether it was a coincidence or if he planned that, but either way it was still such a wonderful night! i can't believe how well he surprised me! i'm so lucky and blessed to have you in my life. woohoo this is gonna be fun!! haha is that the right thing to say?
