SIGH....while everyone's having the time of their lives at friendship games..here's what ive been up to for my weekend stuck at berkeley...

FRIDAY was actuallly HELLA fun! had to wake up early for 2 outreaches...i went with madel and joel. they were wack though...not much showed up and the students had no interest whatsoever in our presentation. we'll see who ends up in college! shiiit! sike..haha JP! we ate mcdonalds for lunch...dayam mcdonalds never tasted soo great! thats the first time i've eaten there in forever! i had a chicken nugget meal and a chicken sandwich...wow! that's a whole lot for me. i'm getting fatter...oh well! ; > then we chilled in my room for a long while..outreaches tire you out! then we ate dinner with the guys. and with nothing to do at the moment..we took aaron's suggestion and checked out this little choir performance goin on on campus. it was 5 bucks! and it was only half good...oh well...i somewhat enjoyed myself...at least the songs i knew..but yea, anyways..there was a frat thing goin on at Kip's...i wanted to go to dance but i guess none of us wanted to pay. so i chilled with sherlyn and madel at their place for awhile. i headed back to my dorm around 12:30 and chilled with sarah and her friends from san jose. it was HELLA fun...her friend complimented me and said i was cute..she was a girl, but still, i was flattered! haha..but yea...everyone got high. it was weird...everyone laughs a lot and just looks soo happy..haha..we watched jeff play his guitar and we all sang songs together..it was great! the guitar is soo pretty to listen to....it was real chill....didnt go back to my room til like 3:30. drea got back from her sorority thing and lora was about to leave in an hour for irvine. it was cool...roomate bonding moment! we laughed and talked about a lot of "deep, personal" stuff. drea and i tried to stay up but ended up drifting off to sleep around 4:30...but we said our byes. i had lots of fun...laughed a lot so it was definetly good!

saturday...i woke up at 1...wasted half the day! talked to my cousin and susan on the phone....free weekends! haven't talk to them in awhile so it was good. then i went with madel and sherlyn to stroll around shattuck. i tried to look for some winter clothes..didn't find any though. i think walking around made me sicker...cause now i feel like shit! we ate sushi for dinner...Mmmm..delicious!

today i just plan to study, and do homework and laundry...i took nyquil...its green..took me a good 15-20 minutes to actually swallow it...i hate medicine! ; /

maan oh maan am i feeling sick! headache...stuffy nose...soar throat...jeez! yesterday i felt so nasty. i bought some gummi rings cause i had a craving them for some reason. they didn't have gummi worms...those are better. then i went to my classes...PASOC was very enlightening today. we discussed the struggles of pilipino veterans who still to this day don't have the veteran benefits they deserve and also all the airport screeners that are being deported for not being citizens. it sucks that they're being discriminated for not being citizens...but will becoming a citizen really make them do a better job than they already are doing? that's just a lame excuse...it really seems like they're blaming them for the 9/11 attack..as if it was their fault the terrorists brought weapons aboard. duuumb stuff....

after class i skipped the FED (filipino empowerment day) meeting because i wasnt feeling too well. i slept for like an hour then got up to watch dawson's creek and the bachelor. aaron came by last night to chill for a little bit around 11...it was cool. i wasn't feel so great and i didnt' know how to entertain him so i just gave him my yearbook to look at...haha, sorry if it was boring maan! but yea...he made me a "get well card" which is soo sweet! :) no one ever made me anything like that before...so thanks again! i appreciate it...

in honor of pilipino visibilty week, today was pilipino ditch day...i didnt' have any classes to ditch though. it was real cool...everyone was out in front of Dwinelle and we had guerilla theater..skits on a couple of pilipino history events that we may not know about.such as...did you know that the number one export of the philippines is women? wow...that freakin sucks to know! anyways..the whole purpose of the week was to fight for pilipino american studies on campus...we have yet to have our own class based on our very own culture. without this class...how will we ever know about our people's history? we got a lot of attettion and people to sign the petition...so hopefully things will finally go through soon..we've been fighting for this for awhile now

i had a good talk with becky today about stuff...yea...i felt better...seems like i'm goin through what she STILL IS goin through... ;(

one midterm down....two more to go...poli sci wasn't that bad actually. i just felt rushed cause there was soo much writing to do for each question..so yea, i'm feeling pretty good. it's starting to get really cold over here...i need some jackets! gosh...i'm totally NOT a nor cal folk! i hate gloomy weather...but yea, anyways...brian was at my dorm today coincidently...so we all went to the PASS office for a little bit then went to inn n' out..brian drove. but i didn't buy anything..i had to control myself from spending money! it took awhile getting there with all that traffic..didn't get back til like 6:30..then we stayed at the office again and chilled with the people over there playing a game...jelly and i watched gilmore girls at sherlyn and madels and "attempted" to do work, but didnt'...got back around 11:30...made a call, chilled with earl and jorge, and now im here...tired as ever! sooo goodnight all! oh yea..i'm feeling sick.... ;( i'm the worse person to be sick cause i start to complain a lot and keep to myself..haha..i hope i don't get too sick!

today was a day of nothing! maan...i have a midterm on tuesday that i should be studying for. and i am...trying to...but then i slept most of the day..my roomate was asleep so i guess that made me sleepy..haha..dumb i know. then i went to church. i had fun there...haha..i was watching these little boys that sat near us...they were soo cute! i kept laughing cause they were running around and touching all these random people..haha..i love kids! i could watch them forever! i wish i could skip through college, get married, and have kids already...ha..okay i'm dumb right now...anyways...after church we ate dinner with chris and aaron...chris is from eastlake...another SD head! yeaaa!.. then we chatted for awhile and then went to bear market. we always end up spending an hour or more at the DC...it's called stalling from doing homework! and now...its study time! midterms are such a bitch!

gosh what a freakin night! dayam...i never thought i would drink enough to throw up! the parties were fun. the first one we got there like around 12 cause we waited for AJ to arrive from SD. but then the cops came so we just left and went to erwins. we traveled in big groups so it was all good...right when we got there everyone was of course already drunk out of their minds. i took two shots right away with jelly, and even madel and sherlyn. hahah...it was their first time and they're HELLA funny drunk! then erwin mixed me one and it was hella good...i had sips of his beer and then drank another shot that me and jelly took from sherlyn cause she tried to sneak another one. she was waaay too tipsy to have another shot. i, on the other hand, was straight up chiiiiilen on the couch...didn't feel tipsy or drunk at all. sure i was laughing a lot and dancing here and there..but i wasnt' acting crazy like sherlyn and madel. then when we were chillen in the rooms...i started to lay down on the bed and slowly drift to sleep...everyone told me to get up..so i did...and ran to the bathroom to start "yakking"...ga-ross! everyone got worried...aww..so loved! they kept feeding me water..i've never drank so much water at one time in my life! so we walked home..i slept at sherlyn and madel's...they took such good care of me when i was on the toilet! haha, thanks guys soo much! and AJ for getting me water, jelly for keeping me sane, and leighanne for guiding me walking home...gosh..i was such an IDIOT for having all that..and now that i think about it..i took all those drinks within an hour or less....grrrrrrrrr....soo stupid! now i never wanna drink again! or at least not that much..fuuuck...that night and after morning was hell! why would you wanna drink anyways? it tastes nasty and it makes you throw up!...BLEH!

it's homecoming weekend here...we won the game against ucla..YEA! there's lots of alumni and parents visiting...it's soo lively on the streets..you can feel the excitment everywhere you go! haha..but yea...thats it. i need sleep...hardcore studying tomorrow! midterms coming up... ; /

whoops..didn't blog last night...too busy i guess..dang, and i stayed up soo late again! oh well...so here's how thursday went..i woke up late so i missed my 8:00 class..haha, oh well, i know plenty of people in there so getting notes won't be that hard. then i went to poli sci..not soo bad. i stayed up and class was really quick. then we ate at the golden bear cafe and i ran errands with jelly while the others were at class...very tiring walking around. i should have taken a nap, but my dumbass didn't. i chilled with PASS again flyering about the I-HOTEL. haha..that was fun..TEAM SD prevailed! thats 5 people killed! damn..we rock guys! then chilled at the PASS office...wow, it really has become a second home! it's just always fun cause theres always people chillin in there...but maan..i was soo tired! i tried taking a nap but it didnt' work. people on my floor are soo comedy! "free greenland!!" haha...yea, whatever.

the I-Hotel presentation was soo good! tear-jerking i might add...it was really tough to watch the protesters and manongs get abused. it sucks that i had no idea this thing even existed. for those of you who don't know, the International Hotel was a building in SF that housed the first pilipinos to come to america...the manongs. they lived in the building for years but the city of SF wanted to destroy the building in order to make room for a parking lot. after years of struggles and protests to be recognized..the pilipinos were evicted from their homes and forced to move somewhere else. there was also a q&a by a panelists of pilipinos who were directly involved in the fall of the I-Hotel...very deep stuff...i'm glad i'm gaining more knowledge about "my people"...

i got home around 8:30...my plan was to sleep early since i haven't really had much sleep lately but then my floor had drinks...i had a shot and they got HELLA drunk...wow..crazy night! but yea...don't wanna get too much into that. it was really bad. i ended staying up til 2 talking online...it was good though...

party tonight! woohoo! ;)

another long day in my life...ahh....i'm soo tired and lazy right now, but i feel like blogging...here goes..it may be long. or maybe i'll just end up getting lazy and cutting it short. haha..we'll see..

so i wake up early to go to a PASS outreach at 10...(that's where we go to different high schools and give presentations on higher education and tips about colleges and what not) so yea..that was hella fun. i went with madel, tiffany, and chris n. the high school was in san jose..so we all drove over there. it's weird seeing high school again...they seem so young! and you think..."dayam, was i like that?!" haha..you feel all old and mature! but it feels good to talk to these kids and share your experiences and stuff...it was real cool talkin to them. its like they all look up to you...what a feeling! it was really great! afterwards chris took us to this mexican place called "casa vikky" or something rather..that he claims to be the best place in california..even better than SD! but yea riiight! nothing beat's lolita's chris! it was alright...expensive but they do give you large portions! so yea...that was cool. we talked about relationships in the car...maan..car talks are the best! i miss being the driver! chris opened up about his life...so did tiffany...no time to share my crazy life! haha! ahhh yes...that was fun!

afterwards...got back around 3:15..we were kinda late for nutri sci lecture so madel and i missed that...that's two lectures in a row! maan...thank God for webcasts though! ;) so we just went to the PASS office..chilled with good ol' brian and jona and everyone else in there...soo much fun just hanging with people like that! of course the relationship talk came up again....dayam...i've had soo much of those and nothing to contribute except my life of dramas..! maybe some day it will be something good....(sigh) haha...then chilled with brian some more...got food for the PASS meeting that we missed cause of the food...and yea...thats pretty much it. it was DANG cold today! san jose was nice though...like SD..i swear i need a new wardrobe! i won't survive in my tanks and halters and slippers in this weather! gosh! i need the sun!

it was kinda late already but i didn't wanna go home yet so I went over to madel and sherlyn's to watch dawson's creek...something joey said reminded me of...yea...she said..."we've hurt each other soo much that maybe we just need to let go"...i don't know, something like that. but yea...thats how it goes! aaron came over too to get some help on math....hmm...and i guess that's it. i got home at 11...dayam that was a long day....of chillen and "bonding" with the guys... ; )! haha

oh yeah...erwin called...so i guess i am gonna go to his "thing" on friday...yea! something to look forward to!

the end..goodnight..PS...sherlyn and madel...we stick together! freshmen's alike alright?! and NO i am not what you think i am! ;p so stop saying it!

hoooray! i finally got my "care package" from home! wooohooo! i'm soo happy! my family sent me some food and my new CELL! it feels good to have one again. even though i''ve actually survived without one, i found out that i don't really need one...i only like to have it "just in case." really...no one calls me and there's no one to call anyways right?...so i guess i'm pretty safe with my cell phone bill not going over again! haha

today i went to my new ortho...it's a pretty nice place and they're all really nice, not too far but i did have to take the bus. i was all scared riding over there by myself. i hate riding the buses....it seems soo "BLEH!" all these strangers around me...i just don't like it. people are scary on the bus too...

after i got back..madel and i went to see if she got her box and sure enough she did..hooray! we all got our packages today! haha..ok, we're dorks like that. then we went to the PASS office...everyone was chillen so it was fun. we actually did some work today too...ASASSINS is soo fun! i wanna kill my person already but she's never around...TEAM SD all the way! we got this in the bag!

I'm sleepy...but i can't seem to fall asleep..no more coffee for me!

wow, long time no blog! i guess i've been so busy with school and what not...i've been studying MY ASS OFF for the past two days prepping for a poli sci study group since we have a midterm coming up. TWO STRAIGHT DAYS...in my dorm...reading and writing notes! seriously....dayam, never before have i done that! i even slept at 3 in the AM. wow...i feel soo proud, soo relieved, soo ACCOMPLISHED! (SIGH - a good one!) ;) i'm soo glad i'm getting my act straight...ive actually been "HELLA" studying "A GRIP!" haha ;p i'm shaping up pretty good...

hmm...so..other than that..nothing has been goin on..oh, i had a great convo with my "OLBF" (thats best friend and NOT boyfriend! ;p) last night..HAHA...made me think about stuff...relationships...life..hmm...but yea, thats it!

PS...my box that my mom sent me still hasn't come and it's been a week! :*( maan..what's up with all the mail mans in the world?!

okay...so i did end up coming home last night...haha...the guys on my floor are the sweetest in the world! even after i told them i was fine at sherlyn and madel's...they still came over around 4:30 in the morning to pick me up and walk me back to our dorms...awwww..luv ya guys! "i felt the love tonight.." hahaha....they're soo funny, they walked in a circle around me so i was "extra protected." it's actually pretty calming at night..the night air feels nice ;) and now...i need to sleep more...i'm freakin tired! theatre rice tonight! yea! can't wait!

Hmm..what a long ass day! i got up around 10 and woke up madel. we headed over to the golden bear cafe and ate lunch with our kuya jerald at sproul. then we all went over to the PASS office to work, but ended up chillen and talkin...not very good! my friend erwin invited me over to his apartment for a little "shin dig" on friday..who knows if i'll go...they're all older heads...and i'm a little freshman! haha..but yea, then off to youth mentorship! ;) i love working with little kids...reminds me of when i taught pre-schoolers in high school.

maan oh maan..was that a trip! the kids are soo adorable! we volunteer at FEC (Filipino Educational Center) ..they were K-5th graders..and they all have little fobby accents..haha...they're soo funny! my favorite is this little guy named aaron...what a character! well actually...they're all little characters! we played games and played outside...there was also this little chubby named telulah, one of the kids' little sisters. wow..i was "hella" tired. we were there from 3:30-5:30..that totally wore me out!

afterwards we went over to daly city with corry mae, melissa, kat, and madel to eat at this thai bbq place...maan that was some tasty food! more money spent though....gosh i hate spending money on food...its all i buy these days! but yea...that was fun.

then...we went over to aaron's to pick him for our "chick flick" night and headed to madel's..but decided to go back to his place since he was goin home in like 30 minutes. he had a pretty nice...CLEAN dorm! waaay better than ours! definetly! he showed us all his high school pictures and stuff. it was pretty cool..i had fun! ..the only weird thing was that EVERYONE on his floor were staring at me and madel...hmm...was i that ugly?! haha...but yea..he's a pretty cool guy..;p

so here I am...4:30 in the morn blogging cause i'm still at sherlyn and madel's. i fell asleep earlier and they were gonna walk me back to my dorm...BUT it was like 3 already and we started to run..saw some guy walkin toward us and ran our little asses back. and on the way back some white guy called us hooligans and told us to go home...they ran faster and being soo out of shaped..i just lagged behind laughing my ass off. the whole situation was funny! haha...maan..we are comedy together guys! the end of my day... ;D

today was very productive! yea! i went to my morning classes and didn't feel sleepy at all...that was soo great! haha. then i came back..tried to take a nap, but i couldn't fall asleep for whatever reason..i don't know. then sherlyn and madel came over...we went to the PASS office to get our asassin stuff...then chilled out on sproul for a little bit with ali and mark and this one chick...i forgot her name. afterwards we went to futura to check out some shirts for sherlyn and then headed to their dorm and chilled for a little bit...then i walked back to the dorms by myself. dayam it was cold outside! and to think i wore a skirt yesterday...thank god i washed the rest of my clothes! nice, fresh, clean jeans are the best! ; ) madel and sherlyn came back here for dinner..haha, you guys are soo cool! the night was spent watching friends, and actually READING! yes...i read..im soo freakin proud of myself! i was starting to feel BLEH cause i realized how much time i spend doin nothing..or online. haha..so seriously...i'm sooo gonna study every night now ...yes..i can do it!

i ran into that one cute jr guy that i thought was soo hot the first weeks i was here...he's pretty cool...we chatted a bit...and thats the end of it. i barely see him around so it was good talkin to him again.

funny shit of the day: when we were walkin down the street to sherlyn and madel's dorm i was talkin about having to go back early to do laundry..and for some reason i put up my wrist and looked at it as if i had a watch on and said "yea...i should be back by 4"...hahah wtf is that? i felt soo stupid cause i didn't realize it til after i did it and i was just looking at my hand! haha...pretty duuumb jenn! i've never even worn a freakin watch...weeird!

Hmmm...nothing much again today. me and madel missed our tabling hours for PASS cause she was running late...haha. its okay though, we can make it up easily. so we just chilled with earl in his room til our 3:00 class....nutri sci...what a drag! then we had PASOC until 6..which isn't really much of a class to me. its more of for your own benefit or even a privelage to learn about our pilipino culture. i was soo tired afterwards though. we skipped the PASS intern meeting...but now i wish we kinda went. we're gonna play that game assasine...(is that how you spell it? i don't know...i'm too tired to think) but yea....whatever. I even slept through dawson's creek...i don't think it was even a great episode anyways. so its all good. then i chatted here and there....then i tried to make jeff learn how to play "more than words" on the guitar for me...i love that song! but it didn't go so great...hahah. and now...yea...i feel bad for not doin any homework tonight...maybe i'll read a chapter now...haha ;p

I just got back from the library with sherlyn, madel, and aaron...haha, WHOA~ that's pretty big for me. ive never been to the library to study..haha. at first it was weird...i was just sitting there..isolated from everyone in those little desks with dividers...i started to do work..then madel and sherlyn start passing notes...haha, i felt like i was in high school. it was funny..we kept laughing. after awhile..we calmed down and i did a lot of reading and got some homework done...i'm soo proud of myself! the library really does force you to work. i should go there more often!

my morning classes were such a drag! i was falling asleep..maan! it sucks. so when i got back i took a long ass nap for like 3 hours...ahhh that felt good! then madel came over and we chilled while the rest went to the gym. (we're not working out kind of people! haha) and yea...thats the end of my day. not so exciting..but a lot of laughing...just like everyday! haha

today was pretty boring....long day of school....9-5. i was "hella" tired..it was funny in poli sci discussion today...there was this one chick who was sleepin all funny...haha, angelo and i were crackin up so loud and my stomach hurt from holding it in. i think the teacher saw us and gave us a look..haha, i felt like i was in high school again. then...when i came back from a long day of classes, i find that my floor already went to the DC..so i called up sherlyn and madel to eat. they came over and we had dinner together so i wouldn't eat alone....awww, how sweet is that! haha.thanks guys! even if you guys always make fun me..youre still the best to hang with! haha..i love laughing with you guys! and guess what...I LIKE NO ONE AND NO ONE LIKES ME! "i hate the world and the world hates me!" hahhahahaaha...all the guys like YOU GUYS! ;p

and so...there's the end of my oh so boring day...i should be doin work..but guess what? i'm not! hahaha..then end...

today was pretty chill....got some laundry done. haha ..that was "hella" needed...it was piled up! but i didn't have enough quarters so i have to finish up tomorrow...i guess thats shorts or a skirt for tomorrow! haha...then i talked to my family on the phone and online. my mom is sending me a box of stuff! yea! :) more food! i eat a lot in the dorms...DC food sucks! then i went to church with the "gang" and spent a good 2 hours at the DC chattin it up with aaron..my "brown brotha" haha..didnt' realize we were there for so long! and now...its hardcore homework time! whoopty do! yeaaa....riight!

oh yea...turns out angelo and jelly saw malik from real world at the asain ghetto...maaaN! and we got there right after they all left! that totally sucks! maybe next time...haha!

wow! what a great saturday! haha...the kuya/ate/ading picnic was a blast..too bad i had to wear a skirt. i ran out of pants! :( oh well...so i wasn't really fit for the games they played. but we ate some chicken! yea! it was cool just chillen with everyone...especially our kuya! haha! then we went to SF to watch a movie...sweet home alabama! but dayam...ten motha freakin dollars! shiiit....that's a GRIP! then the freakin transportation over there..good thing ali brought us there though...so we only paid one way on the bart. after the movie...which i tried oh so hard not to fall asleep in (you guys who i watch movies with know i can't sit still or stay awake in the theaters! haha)...we walked around the city. i have to admit it was weird watching a movie with without a guy...aww..how sad, i'm soo lonely! JP ;p....i had fun! but anyways...the city is soo pretty! it wasn't even cold. i love SF...especially at night. all the lights and big buildings...ahhhh...its the best!

we got back around 9 or 10 i think...i was gonna sleep over at sherlyn and madel's..but i changed my mind and went back to the dorms. i'm glad i did cause then i would have missed all the action! haha...it was earl's b-day (from my floor) and they had bought him a cake. but when we lit the candles we set the fire alarms off....HAHA...enough said. funny shit man! we had to evacuate and all the police and firemen had to search the building. we were out there for a good 45 minutes. we didnt' really get in trouble...so that was cool. everyone knows the "infamous 7th floor" now..haha! great night...then all of us (my whole floor) sat in my friends dorm and sang songs while these guys played the guitar...it was fun. a little floor bonding moment there...

and now...i'm "A GRIP OF" tired...haha...goodnight!

yesterday was pretty funny..i chilled with madel and sherlyn all day. haha..we did a bunch of nothing and laughed at anything and everything. we had to do our office hours for PASS...then the rest of the day was chill. jelly and angelo came by later and we watched "untamed heart"...what a great movie! it's kinda like "autumn in new york" but i think this one was waaay better....watch it guys! then jelly and angelo left cause they were tired. i ended up staying at madel and sherlyn's til like 1:30. we cooked rice, spam, and vienna sausage at 12:30..haha, that's college life fo ya! we were hungry! then my stomach started to hurt and i had to walk back to my dorm. they walked me most of the way...then we split and ran back to our dorms cause we were freakin ourselves out...berkeley is NOT the safest place to be at night! especially if youre a girl! oh yea, we tried downloading "sweet home alabama" but then it was "austin powers" instead...dumb people wasted our time! okay...the end! :)

hmm...today was great! we chilled over at sproul and people watched..the best thing to do when youre bored! too bad we didn't see YES! haha..someday though, i promise. and then..i chilled at the PASS office for a little bit...doin some work. i felt like i was back in ASB! haha...feels good. then...hmmm...walked around with sarah and drea to get some new tounge rings for sarah. then we headed over to the PAA (Pilipino American Alliance) meeting. daamn...it was soo wonderful! we had some home cooked pilipino food! wow...it tasted soo great! i was in heaven! i miss my mother's cooking! also met more people..and umm...thats it for the day i guess. i spent the night chillen with everyone in the dorms...that's always fun!

oh yea...bad luck for the day...my cup was leaking...turns out it was cracked on the bottom and i didn't know until my tray was covered with soda...haha! funny shit!

It's been a whole week since i had any contact with john...well i blocked him from my buddy list..so i guess i had part in that. but i feel soo much better not having to deal with any of that shit any more...life is goin great..hope they're happy..seriously...if he doesn't care, why should i? riight...i shouldn't! i'm sure he's happy now...no more drama...hope cindy's happy too...i guess we're all happy now...haha..funny! FINALLY!

today was pretty fun! i actually saw a lot of cute guys...that's very strange here at Cal. but yea...me and madel had to table out on sproul for PASS (Pilipino American Student Services). It's hella intimidating cause you know no one wants your flyers..they just throw them on the ground afterwards. (cause i'm one of those people who just walk by and dont' say anything...what goes around comes around!) so i just try and target the guys...give them a smile and talk to them nicely..haha. the cutest guy i saw today passed by the window when i was eating lunch at the DC...so i didn't really get to see him...but from what i saw, he was cute enough! ok...the end about that

my pilipino class today was soo great! we had a speaker who lectured on Pilipino American history...it was so interesting...DEEEP! there's so much history within our culture that we have NO CLUE about cause they never teach it in school. its so amazing to see what our ancestors went through. like did you guys know that there was a side show in misouri that composed of just pilipinos? and it was the biggest exhibit at the fair that attracted the most people...wtf is that?! weeird! and Thurgood Marshall married a pilipino? wow...there's soo many pilipinos out there that go unrecognized...it hella makes you rethink about your pilipino culture and be proud...we've accomplished soo much! i love hearing about our "pilipino-ness"...it makes me feel great and you get soo inspired to get out there and support the pilipino community! so go for it guys! haha

Dawson's Creek was soo good! how come best friends always end up hurting each other? i guess its true..."friends can end up as lovers...but never lovers as friends..."

I have the sweetest friends ever! they knew i was feeling down and all..so they came over with a "care package"...how sweet is that?! awww...you guys really made my day! then we went for a walk down the crazy streets of berkeley...saw a homeless guy having a seizure in the streets...freaky! anyways..then we went to get some slurpies...haven't had one of those in awhile..Mmmm...then we went into some vintage shops, there's a lot over here..but yea..i had fun. good way to get things out of my mind..it felt great! thanks sherlyn and madel! luv ya guys!

I forgot to talk about my curse...gosh this is how bored i am! everyday here has had some type of bad luck...and today it started early this morning. i was taking a shower and i dropped my soap. It flew all the way to the other stall. haha..damn! good thing i had an extra with me. but then i reach over for my shampoo and its practically empty..wtf? so desperate for some clean hair i unscrewed the top and tried to get what i could..i got enough for my hair luckily..haha..okay, the end.

maan..i'm still down on my midterms. but check this out...i'm not doin anything about it! i wish i had a passion for education...maybe it would help me get through berkeley. i know its just one midterm...but still. i'm an overachiever. its tough.

my mom and dad called...i hate it when they call. it makes me wanna go home. i always get all choked up and i end up tearing. i don't know if they know that. you really don't know what have until its gone. family is more important to me now than it has ever been. i miss them! they knew something was wrong with me..i told they about my tests...they weren't mad. they understood and i promised i would work harder than i probably already do...i gotta get rid of this attitude and think more optimistic..my brothers are funny..they tell me everything. turns out my sixth grade teacher still remembers me! haha..funny..

Hmm...nothing to do...no more classes today. gilmore girls is on tonight..yea! something to do! haha...that's how lame i am over here.

maybe i should start "finding myself"...haha..that's what college is for right? duuumb...
