Michael's Last Day

Yeah another day in which I thought I had school but I didn't until Wednesday. I still wanted to be prepared for waking up early. So pretty much this day was just staying and playing video games. I think I went to the gym with Jake in the morning though just because we didn't have class. I am pretty sure that I went to the gym becaus ethis was the day I smashed my thumb. I was having a pretty good workout then I got a disappointing in which I lost focused during and exercise and I smashed my finger my thumb to be exact with a 40lb weight. Yes it was all swollen and such. I actually felt that maybe I had broke my finger haha. Oh well nothing will ever stop me. SO anyways after the gym didn't really do too much. Pretty much just waited for Michael and we chilled and played Call of Duty for the last time before he left. Oh well I guess til next break.

Repeats

This was just a quick day of things I have already done previously. So Raquel finally woke up and left. Soon after I went with my dad and brother to watch Expendables. After that went to Costco. After that I met up with Karen to go eat at Toppings tappings whichever. Hung out for a little but and then went to Dennis house. Jake Joryl Dennis and Anna were there. Had some spaghetti parmesan and watched some How I Met Your Mother and soon after called it a night. No biggie but it was a good time to recover.

Movies and Loft

SO this day was quite interesting as I was not in one of my better moods. This was a day we were supposed to goto the movies but pretty much everybody bailed on me. SO whack luckily Michael came through. SO we watched Scoot Pilgrim vs the World. Really good movie I'll probably get it later when it comes out on DVD/ BLu-ray so after we pretty much chilled. THinking about what shall be done about later not quite sure yet. I was ever so irritated by the lack of attendance of the morning so I wasn't even sure if I would be even going to Loft. I did eventually let thigns go and decided to watch Expendables and see how I felt after that. So Jake was the only one who was down for the movie and me and Michael picked him up. It was quite interesting how everything did turn out. Vince wasn't able to get Alex because I don't know but after the movie we had back track and get Alex in Twin Bridges. Picked him up and got a small bottle of Hen and a Mickey's 40. After that we picked up Vince and headed towards Loft. So we were on our way and we met up with Marjorie , Mylene, Arnel and Kevin. Also there Raquel and Karen who brought Teck and two of his friends. YEah it was pretty fun drank mucho and yeah. It was pretty fun I got somewhat drunk. We headed out to Denny's and then Karen needed help with Raquel at Automall. SO Vince took me and my car there. Got Teck and his homies to cut out. I stayed with Raquel while Karen drove back to Denny's I stayed with Raquel while Karen went inside and I ended up with a free meal as Alex paid for my food. So I head back with Karen to her house with Raquel. She was in condition to drive so Id rove her car to my house since the guys already dropped my car off. I took care of Raquel took her to the bathroom and after tucked her in bed. Left a garbage on the side and a water bottle just in case. THe red bull vodka kept me awake for awhile so I just checked up on her from every now and trhen to make sure if she needed anything. It was an interesting night and I'm definitely glad that I came out tonight awesomeness from beginning to end.

At the time Alex's Going away

So it was the next day and I woke up and there was no food or people in my house. So I call Karen to ask if she wants to go out and eat and she's down. So i get ready and go pick her up. We ate at Pho Pasteur. We chatted for awhile about how tired we were and such and was figuring out what we should do later that night. Since Alex was leaving I decided that we should just go to Hooters. Karen agreed and that was pretty much that. There was a lot of confusion with the ride situation but it all worked out fine. IT was Just me, Karen, Michael, Jake, his bro Chris, Joryl Keith Alex, Calvin, Joseph, Roger and Vince. Just chill didn't eat too much. Then found out Alex wasn't really leaving yet but oh well.

Jake and Jason's Birthday BBQ (one of the best so far)

So this was the more eventful day of the birthdays to come. It started really early in the day where I had to drive my mom to her appointment and then Santana Row. I remember doing somewhat errands which eventually lead to the point where we went to Jason's place. so this the supposed guest list ofall the people that were there.

Me,Yvonne,Michael, Joryl,Raquel, Melanie, Jennilyn, Jason, Joseph,Drew, Roger, Teck, Regie, Vince, Marjorie, Mylene,ANgie, Joey, Keith,Eduardo, Alex, Marielle, Jackie, T.T., Thuy,Kailani, Karen, Carl, Francis, Vernon,Fastejo, Joe N, Suit Jo, Marybeth,Rachel, Lin Cherry,Jackie,Jen.

I really hope I didn't forget anyone because I would feel bad but probably not too bad sincebarely anyone reads this anyways. SO this night was hella fun. A lot was going on there was a lot of food and drinks. Jason escaped throwing up since all the attention went to Jake yacking in the bushes again. It was chill I did mostly clean up work during the festivities but that's just me being responsible I guess. It was a really good turn out since for me it was last notice. Yes it was one of the best BBQ so far though.

It thoughts of the food, Joryl Raquel and Mel made some Spam subi and Joryl mad half of pancit since he drank he forgot stuff so it didn't turn out the way he wanted. I brought like 6 pizzas and a handle of grey goose which Vince threw down a dub for. Drew threw in a dub for the pizza. So spent like maybe 30+ which is whatever.. Joseph brought chips and dips and there as usual a lot of beer. Marjorie brought some really good cupcakes she made and Yvonne made Devil Eggs which I had the last of each of those. So yeah a lot of drinking this night as well. People heard about the yack bet and started to go for it but gave up quickly. So yeah that was about it. Oh the games which took place were some beer pong, I think baseball, and like I guess downing from a handle whihc wasn't a game but something the birthday boys did.

Jake's Birthday

We really did not do much this day. Jake was in Vallejo so I didn't really expect to do anything. We practically didn't do anything. Jake came back and we ended up hanging out at Tuttimelon. It was Just Joryl, Raquel, Jake, Me, Michael Regie, Karen and Vince came last. So we just chilled there got some dessert watched whatever was showing and Loitered some more in the parking lot until we went home. The next day was pretty tiring itself so it was a good thing I got rest today.

Chill Monday

So today was supposed to be a day of errands but for some reason was quickly cleared up. So instead I had lunch with Karen at Mayflower, a dim sum place. I like it there so it was a good meal for me. So after that we hung out at the mall, Newpark Mall. karen wanted to buy heels I guess so we walked around and she got some at Shiek. Chilled a bit more and got some Jamba Juice out of it. So we headed back home and I dropped her off. I went to pick up my brother and thought that would be the end of my day. There was something planned later at Dirty Bird but was not really feeling in the bar mood. Michael came over though and played some Call of Duty. He then brought up the idea we should go watch "The Other Guys" with Will Farrell and Mark Wahlberg. Sounded like a good idea I ask people who would be down. The only positive reply I got was from Karen. So I drop off my brother at my cousin's house and then picked up Karen. So it was the three of us who watched the movie and it was really funny, highly recommended. So after the movie we went to go eat at Sonics. Chilled and ate in the parking lot. Mylene came through but didn't do much just chat for a little bit before we had to go home. Another day that could have possibly been dull again was not. Life is never boring.

FIrst Game Won for my One

So I missed my last game and heard we only lost by two. I felt pretty fresh today but still like on vacation mode. So I was not too sure about how I would play today. What was interesting though is that I did get a text about my game and with that I felt more motivated to win this game. I actually wanted to dedicate this game to that person who sent me that text. To prove I just didn't say this after we did win that game I sent Kwek a message an hour before the game guaranteeing a victory. SO the game did go back and forth and I was scared that my guarantee turned sour but with a lot of hustle points team became more consistent and finished the game with a double digit lead. I didn't really score much but I did have a lot of good defensive plays and grabbed very important offensive rebounds. Nevertheless we won our first game and who better to dedicate to my number 1.

SO after the game went with cousins to Elephant bar for a light dinner chilled, I myself didn't drink and it was just chill. Nothing to crazy or hectic. After Dinner though I ended up going to SF to pick up a desktop so my cousin could play Star craft 2

Catching Up

August 7th. So time to catch up. Really was not expecting this on my first official day back. I mean I did hear about the death of our friend Xavier on Sunday at California Adventure. So I woke up and got myself ready to go to the funeral at Holy Spirit. I really didn't want to go by myself so I had Joryl, Jake,Raquel and Mel in my car. The mass was very sad especially knowing that he was our age and still had so much to live for. It was nice seeing my other classmates from my class because I have not seen them in awhile it's just too bad that this occasion had to be the reason. SOa fter the funeral headed to the reception where can converse amongst ourselves and talk to the people we haven't seen in awhile a lot of catching up with some.

So after it was all over we really did not know what to do because we couldn't go home because of superstition. SO Dennis and Anna suggested going to Santana Row in which case we did adding Gaspar and Alex and losing Mel. So we chilled in Best Buy for awhile walked around through the container store. Did some reading at Urban Outfitters and had coffee and cupcakes at Starbucks and Kara's. We spent a good amount of time there but we were all pretty tired so we ended up just going back home. ON a side note though we did see a new trend of walking which someone has a video of but we did actually have people following us which was cool.

A Weeks Worth of Blog

After the BBQ at Jason's I came home with only a few hours left before going on vacation. So I finished packing my clothes for my weekend in Los Angeles. I was pretty tired coming home so late so the trip to L.A. was pretty quick. I actually woke up and I was at the hotel already. So this is how the rest of the days go.

Day 1
We get to the hotel before check in time so we had time to kill before going to the hotel. It was very convenient how there was a shopping center so that is where we went. We had lunch there until the Tacuyans finally came. We went to the room and got ourselves settled in. Soon after we went out again to take a walk around the shopping center. As the adults went to shop me and the younger cousins went to the bowling alley. It was pretty expensive compared to my usual bowling prices. After we were done playing it was about time to eat dinner. We ate this restaurant that had a San Fransisco theme. I had a personal pizza and a taste of what everyone else ordered. It was really good and very filling. The meal made us pretty tired which was good so we could rest for Disneyland.

Day 2
We woke up pretty early to get ready and to make it in time for the shuttle. So we headed off to Disneyland and the first thing we rode was the Buzz Light Year ride which is also a game. NExt was Space mountain but it was currently not working. We ended up watching the Michael Jackson Captain EO show which replaced Honey I shrunk the Audience. After we just rode the other rides such as; Peter Pan, Snow White, a Carousel, Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, Nemo, Small World, Thunder Mountain, and Pirates of the Carribean. We took a break and walked around Downtown Disney. We pretty much waited around until Fantasmic was going on. The show hasn't changed and still very amazing. After a long day of walking we went back on the shuttle to go back to the hotel. When we got back to the hotel my younger cousins wanted to go to the pool and it would be a good opportunity to relax our feet. We stayed there for about an hour until they said that the pool closed an hour ago, but oh well a very productive day.

Day 3
Today was the day for California Adventure. There weren't too many rides so we didn't stay too long. The Toy story 3 ride was pretty fun. It was pretty much a better Buzz Lightyear ride. We did some of the small rides which had barely any lines and some known rides like Monster Inc and Haunted Mansion. With a break in between I went back to the hotel to get relax and go to the hot tub to rest my feet. So after I get all relaxed I head back on the shuttle to California Adventure to make it for the World of Color show. California screaming was working again so I was able to ride that. The show was simply amazing. The show was so beautiful, better than Fantasmic in my opinion.Anyways after we had dinner at this okayish buffet. So we go back to the hotel because we have to pack to go home. While we were packing the parents discussed Vegas. My uncle allowed me and my brother to go with them to Vegas. This really was not planned as I was supposed to go back to the bay on Monday.

Day 4
So after doing some laundry I have some clothes for Vegas. We had breakfast together before we went out seperate ways. We drove to my other cousin's house where we were staying for the night.We got ourselves settled and had dinner at this Asian grocery store.The day went by pretty fast and just rested for the trip to Vegas.

Day 5
On the way to Vegas stopped by some outlets and I bought some clothes to last the week. We make it to Vegas and rest for awhile. We ended up walking the strip which was really a long distance since the MGM was at one end of the strip. We walked around looked at some of the shops and ate at Pinky's Hot Dogs which was really good as they layer their hot dogs in toppings. The first day was pretty tiring the heat wasn't too bad. First day of gambling I only made $2.

Day 6
This day was pretty chill as well. Did a lot of cardio. We ended up visiting my cousin's new place which was pretty nice. We had a BBQ there and the food was good. We played some pool there and some video games before heading back to the hotel. My aunt and my kid went to watch a show so the rest of us had dinner at Hooters and did some more walking. My cousin's did some shopping and that was about it for the night. Didn't really win on the slots but oh well.

Day 7
We had lunch at the buffet today. It was ok not too amazing. We walked around the other side of of the strip but we drove in the middle this time. After touring around went to the hotel pool. It was pretty crowded and stinky. Was not the best pool experience. We then ate in the downstairs food court. After that I took the cousin's to watch a movie. We watched Salt which was a really good movie. After the movie I just finished packing so there would be nothing to worry about the next day.

Day 8
So we finally go back home the trip was long didn't make too many stops. The trip seemed pretty quick actually. Got home didn't really kick it with anyone since everyone was out. Michael did come over and we went to get food. Played some video games and that was my night back.
