a falling star
beware: this entry may be a little sad, just so you know.
i ended up getting off from work on wednesday after all. i got a call from the office manager saying it would be cool if i took the day off cause she would just handle whatever needed to get done. she called me pretty earlier in the morning, so from that point on, me and andy just started getting ready to leave. we lagged, so we didn't leave until noon, but we still needed to run a billion errands and drop a bunch of stuff off. anyway, this wasn't the point of the entry....
so, andy and i are driving along to arizona and we are having fun and laughing and all that good stuff. i ended up taking a short little nap right before yuma, but since we had a lot of gas, we just drove on through yuma and weren't going to stop until casa grande. anyway, so we stopped at casa grande for gas, and by the time we left there, it was already dark. so, andy is just listening to his music and since i couldn't crochet anymore since there was no more light, i just sat there. and you know when you are just sitting there and it is quiet and you just start thinking. well, this happens to me a lot and typically, i start thinking about my dad. and it's tough, you know, espcially around the holidays. it's really weird, it has been over 4 years, and sometimes i still can't believe that my dad isn't here. like he's still not going to come back from this "vacation." me and andy start talking about it and we were talking about how i can be out, and just get a glimpse of a filipino man who has the same build as my dad did, and i have to take a double-take and make sure that it isn't him. when i know damn well that it isn't. and i guess maybe in that split second, i can pretend that maybe my dad is still here, but he's just been hiding and look! i just found him. but i know this isn't true. so, after all that, and i was okay, we're just driving along and we're both just quiet and what did i see? a falling star. and i guess maybe my dad was just trying to tell me that everything was okay and maybe that he really is here after all. so, that's my story.
me and andy are in arizona now, and we have to start getting ready for our day of thanksgivings. we have many a thanksgiving party to attend, so it is time to go. happy turkey day one and all. gobble, gobble.

sooo FREAKIN' mad
so, i was really anticipating on my work saying it would be cool for me to take tomorrow off. and me and andy would be leaving tonight to start driving to arizona. but..... well, it's a long story and we aren't leaving tonight afterall. i'm staying cause there is a big report supposedly going out tomorrow and they need me there, but my eyeballs will explode out of my head if it doesn't end up going out tomorrow. they are pretending like that shit is gonna be done tomorrow, and i would bet $100 that it won't be finished. GRRR!!!!! I'M SO ANGRY. anyway, now we'll have time to pack, but i know andy wanted to be there by tomorrow, but there's nothing we can do. BASTARDS!!!!

boobing's tips
if you have ever seen that saturday night live with kirsten dunst, you know what the title means. me and andy keep laughing about it, so i thought it would be funny if it were my title. and we keep making references to it, just for the hell of it. anyway, i don't have alot of time to blog, but i wanted to blog in case i don't get a chance to later. me and andy don't know if we are leaving for arizona tonight or tomorrow, and what time is so up in the air. it is all depending on if i am working tomorrow, and i won't know that until i go to work today. it's nutty, and it's making andy crazy. so, there is a tiny likelihood that i may come home from work today and have to pack like a madwoman and we could be driving to arizona in 9 hours from now. oh, it's so crazy... we don't know what we're doing!!!
i ought to go blow dry my hair before work. and meya is being awfully quiet so i should see what she's up to.

tio leo's
after i stopped blogging and said i was going to do something "productive" i just laid back down on my bed and watched tv. then, when andy got home from work, we took another nap. we finally woke up and went to Tio Leo's for dinner. i probably slept a total of 16 hours yesterday. okay, i don't know if it was really 16 hours, but it was a long time. i just woke up an hour ago today, and i actually have intentions to get some stuff done today. but we'll see....

cheesy double-O seven
we watched "die another day" last night. i couldn't tell you the last time i watched a james bond movie. it was probably "octopussy" which is like circa 1986. anyway, it was alright, i guess. the sexual innuendos were a little excessive and cheesy for me. anyway, i have been a major bum today. it's been nice. seeing how eventful and crazy last weekend was, i was planning on this weekend being very low-pro. my ultimate goal was to go out and run some errands, dye my hair, and clean the house. but here i am, at 2:13pm and i'm blogging and watching "clueless" on USA. i woke up this morning around 9 and went back to bed when andy left for work. and i just woke up again about an hour ago. :) i can still accomplish a few things, i think, but we'll see when i'm done blogging. anyway, i watched the movie with andy, kyle, and kate. they told us to get there an hour to an hour and a half before the movie started to get in line. i guess these 007 fans are some serious people, so we didn't want to leave the mira mesa marketplace. we tried to go to buca di beppo to have drinks and appetizers, but the bar was standing room only, so we tried to go to islands to do the same thing, but by the time we walked our happy asses over there, it was time to go to the theater to get in line. we just bought a bag of breadsticks from Pat & Oscar's and ate them while we were in line. and the best part of the night was when me and kate went out to the concession stand after we had gotten in the theater and our seats, and i got popcorn and a large drink. i put the popcorn in a box and we are walking back towards the theater and the theater employee lady starts harassing us for our tickets (which i just knew was going to happen) and so i'm trying to fumble around and juggle the shit i'm holding in my hands to reach into my back pocket to get my ticket and what happens? half of the popcorn SPILLS EVERYWHERE. and as i'm trying to make sure more popcorn doesn't spill, the soda spills. and does the mean theater employee lady just go "forget it, i don't need to see your ticket that bad." NOOOO!!! she's still trying to get my damn ticket. and then, you would think she would go "sorry i made you spill that everywhere, let us get you some more" but she didn't do that either! it was insane! well, it has taken me a long time to write this blog, but that's cause Miss Jennifer Francis just called me and was having a dilemma with one of her research papers and i was trying to help her through the turmoil. andy's gonna get home from work soon, so maybe i won't do anything till later... I KNOW... I'M SUCH A BUM! have a nice saturday everyone... May it be more productive than mine.

the bachelor
i haven't watched this show the entire season. i saw the first half hour of the second show, and 15 minutes of another show sometime mid-season, but i watched the season finale. i had to see the hype that i know everyone is going to be talking about tomorrow. anyway, even though i hadn't watched all season, i actually wanted brooke to win. and i totally thought she was going to. she just seemed alot more sincere about liking him and the way helene giggled at everything was really getting on my nerves. and my god... THE RING FROM HARRY WINSTON!!! whew... i can't imagine. and i thought it was fantastic how he wanted to buy it himself. but anyway, i can't believe how insane this show is.... AND I CAN'T BELIEVE IT SUCKED ME IN!!!!!

mmmm.... chicken with lemon
so, i haven't blogged in a super long time. i've been out of commission cause i've been sick. i've actually lost my voice, mostly, the sick part isn't so bad now. this past weekend was completely INSANE. a gazillion of andy's marine buddies were in town for rob and heather's wedding. we are still tired and trying to recover from the insanity. we went to margarita rocks in PB and it was so fun. i don't find the music all THAT great, but i had a few drinks, so everything was pretty danceable. i think andy only danced with me once, but i danced with kyle and dave a bunch of times. but i'm pretty sure that's how i lost my voice... it is so hard to have a conversation with anyone in that place without screaming your head off. but it sure was fun!
we also watched "harry potter" this weekend. i wasn't too impressed with it. i actually fell asleep a few times (i'm sure it had to do alot with the lack of sleep), but i guess maybe if it was that good, i wouldn't have fallen asleep. andy kept waking me up cause i was snoring and i just couldn't get my act together to sleep quietly cause i would have given my left arm if andy would have let me sleep. damn the snoring!
i went to buca di beppo for a lab meeting. everyone in our lab at UCSD have really conflicting schedules, so we couldn't schedule a meeting during the day that everyone could attend, so we have meetings once a month where we get together during dinner. anyway, i've been there before, but it was alot better this time. i guess we didn't know what to order when we went there. if you go there, order the chicken with lemon or the chicken marsala. anyway, i'm so glad that the week is almost over. i'm ready for the weekend, and then the short week for thanksgiving. bring it on!

For those in the Ya-Ya sisterhood
1) If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it will always be yours. If it doesn't come back, it was never yours to begin with. But, if it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats your food, uses your telephone, takes your money, and doesn't appear to realize that you had set it free....... You either married it or gave birth to it.
2) Reason to smile: Every 7 minutes of every day, someone in an aerobics class pulls a hamstring.
3) My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
4) The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight shoes.
5) The nice part about living in a small town: When you don't know what you're doing, someone else always does.
6) Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.
7) Sometimes I think I understand everything, then I regain consciousness.
8) Amazing! ! You hang something in your closet for a while and it shrinks two sizes!
9) They keep telling us to get in touch with our bodies. Mine isn't all that communicative but I heard from it the other day after I said, "Body, how'd you like to go to the six o'clock class in vigorous toning?" Clear as a bell my body said, "Listen fatty....do it and die."
10) I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That's my idea of a perfect day.
never saw this movie, but i got this email and just thought i had to share it.

Ode to Dr. Mann
okay, so i'm trying a new thing with my titles. i'm just putting them in bold instead of bulleting them cause it looks like there is a lot of space randomly on the page, and i don't like it. i also changed the colors of my layout. i think they are softer and prettier, so how could that be bad? well, i'm still sick. i took some theraflu last night and it knocked me out, which was great. and i've taken advil cold and flu, and i'm breathing pretty well. still congested... but what can a girl do?
so, the title has to do with our old dentist from arizona. you see, i went to the dentist today (yes, again, for the 2nd time this week), but i actually had a cleaning today. i haven't had a cleaning since the beginning of this year. prior to being laid off and thus losing my insurance, but i digress.... anyway, i was sitting in the dentist's chair and as my dentist is cleaning away, i was just thinking how i could just fall asleep right there. she kept asking me if i was okay, and i would do a nod and a barely audible "uh-huh" and i realized the only reason i am so comfortable at the dentist is because of Dr. Mann. he was absolutely the best dentist. he was kind, had the most entertaining books/magazines/toys for kids in the waiting room, and you always walked away with a prize when you were done. and not to mention, since we went off base to go to the dentist, my dad would always take us to McDonald's afterwards for dinner, and when you live on an Air Force base, getting fast food is a major treat. (also, we got our first dog, podges, on the way home from the dentist.) thus, i've always had very positive and good experiences at the dentist and relating to the dentist. i know people who are deathly afraid of the dentist and i am so glad i'm not like that. our dentist now is really cool. she's very nice. i guess this means alot to me because when we first moved to san diego, my mom and i tried out some really scary dental offices. i mean places that make me understand why you would want to hate the dentist if that is the only place you've ever gone. eeks, the places we've been, man. so, if you are looking for a good dentist, and she's a filipina dentist, in case that makes an extra bonus to you, go see Dr. Lea Sia-Zolina in Mira Mesa. she comes highly recommended. and trust me, i know good dentists. well, gotta go. it is almost time to go home from work. i may blog again later tonight. we'll see....

the title is an inside joke. anyway, i started sneezing today. and wouldn't you know it, an hour later, i'm congested. sonuvabitch. i can't believe i'm sick. i told andy that if i get the flu, i'm gonna go get a refund on my flu shot... right, like they are going to let me do that. anyway, i'm gonna go to bed. i tried to take a nap earlier, but i was awoken after i was sleeping for 10 whole frickin' minutes. grrr.... see, i'm GRUMPY. i'm gonna go to sleep before i go on a warpath. happy hump day.
11.12.2002
woohoo! i just figured out how to fix my archives page! kick ass. well, that's all i've pretty much accomplished today. okay, not really. i actually went to UCSD and work and did a bunch of stuff, but i only really want to talk about my archives page. i ROCK!
11.10.2002
man, when you practically sleep all day it is hard to feel tired when it is 11:38 pm. anyway, andy and i went to see "8 mile" today. it was pretty good. i thought the ironic part was that the girl that was in "crossroads" with britney spears was in it. well, i don't really have too much to say. i need to go to sleep, but i'm not tired at all. i'm also doing laundry and cleaning, so i'm having lots of fun. i have my dentist appointment at 11:30 tomorrow morning, so that means i don't have to get up until late, anyway! woohoo!!!! andy doesn't have school or work so he gets to stay home while i go to my appointment and then i have to go to work... yucky. well, that's all for me. if you want to see "8 mile" you probably should. i won't hype it up for you. but the ass shot.... worth it all.
crissy and i went shopping yesterday. our ultimate goal was actually to go to my friend, Kelley's, daughter's birthday party, but it wasn't until 5 in the evening, and i didn't want to just waste my day away and leave at 4 pm while the boys were out paintballing. so, i asked crissy if she would go to moreno valley with me, and as an incentive, i told her we would go shopping. like i said in a previous blog, i was also looking for a dress for rob and heather's wedding. anyway, the entire day was so insane. the title has to do with the lady at the jack in the crack who lied to us and told us that they were taking debit/visa cards in the drive thru. i asked her if they were before we started ordering and her reply was "yam" and i looked at crissy and we just both agreed that that meant "yes." and we get up there and she told us that they weren't. she was laughing like it was funny. that shit wasn't funny. we were HUNGRY. and so the lesson here, boys and girls, is that when someone replies "yam" to your question.... that means NO.
the two of us bought some really good stuff at the outlet mall. i got a new purse and wallet, a dress, and other good stuff, but since it was raining and it was an indoor mall, the amount of people in that place made us feel like packed in sardines. the food court looked like each place had a line for a ride at disneyland. it was crazy! the place we ate at sucked... we ate at wolfgang puck cafe and crissy was so disappointed with her food because it was so bland, and the service was terrible. they had some kick ass garlic parmesan fries, though. but crissy did end up telling our waiter how awful she thought her food was, and when i was signing my hard earned $38 away to that place, crissy decides to tell me that she's eaten at one of those places before and it "wasn't that good." well, thanks crissy, for telling me that now that we are both hating that experience. lol.... it was funny. next time, i'm going to have to ask crissy BEFORE we eat somewhere if she's eaten there & what she thought of it because she won't share it until after the fact. WAY TO GO CRISSY!
i did do something insane yesterday, though. other than the "is this two lanes or am i that girl?" :) amidst the traffic and the rain trying to get to kelley's house, the car next to us hit a big puddle and all this water splashed back at our car. it was like being on tidal wave at magic mountain, and it freaked me out. i did admit to crissy that i had an instictive kind of reaction and actually closed my eyes when it happened. did i mention i was the one driving? well, yeah, i was and i told crissy that i did that. and after that she was pretty scared. it was hilarious.
kelley's daughter's party was pretty fun. it was a tinkerbell party and it was mostly her family there and a few little kids. we stayed and chatted with kelley and her friend and it was getting pretty late, so we ended up leaving around 9:45 pm. i didn't end up getting home until way after midnight, though. it was a big fiasco trying to find something to eat in TEMEK. anyway, that was our day. thanks for going with me and us laughing until we were crying, crissy. it was fun. YAM.... man, that was too good.

wow, so the rain hasn't stopped ALL day. it was so nice to wake up to the pitter-patter of rain. granted, i wanted to just stay in bed and snuggle with andy and meya, but it was still nice anyway. meya won't go outside to go to the bathroom because of the rain. usually, if it is raining in the morning, it will stop, and she can go in the evening, but because it hasn't stopped, she won't go. what a wuss. scared of the rain.
so a freaky thing happened today. a part of a filling in one of my back teeth broke. it's so freakish... there's a gap in my tooth and its weirding me out. the funny story that accompanies this is that i called my dentist to tell them i needed to come in and she asked me if i needed morning or afternoons and i told her that i just needed to come in as soon as possible because i broke a filling (meaning, it is kind of an emergency) and she goes, "well, we have a 2:30 on monday." and i asked if they had anything in the morning because i have to work in the afternoon. and then she says "how about 11:30 on monday?" ummmm... okay, after telling her i needed to come in asap, why would she offer me 2:30 if she had an 11:30am????? i didn't get it. but i did take the 11:30. i just hope all my teeth don't fall out by then. okay, so that's not gonna happen, but this tooth feels so weird!!
anyway, andy and his friends are out doing their bachelor party thing. my sister and i tried to go out to party, too, but there was nobody to have fun with us. party poopers. we ate dinner at TGI Fridays and came home. my sister is getting sick so she took theraflu and she is either passed out or playing sims. and here i am, blogging... we are such party animals, i know. i did give meya a bath.... yeah, i realize that doesn't help my "we are party animals" argument, but i just thought i'd mention.
i have a few things i need to do, so i'm not ready to go to bed, but i know the party boys are gonna come in like a drunken raucous. we'll see if i stay up and wait for them. i'll just put a bunch of blankets out cause the boys are gonna have a slumber party and if i fall asleep i know andy will wake me up. he usually can't find the blankets to give to his friends, and with him being drunk will make it 10 times harder.
well, i guess that's all for me. for some reason, i can't seem to fix my archives page. i know i've done it before, but i'm a little out of it right now. so, sorry if it is lame and just a bunch of html stuff. please excuse our mess, we're under construction. i'm off like a dirty shirt. btw, i have the best boyfriend ever!

yes, so i got home from work (and actually running a few errands) and what was on the table waiting for me? ROSES! 3 red and 1 pink long-stemmed roses. and what were they for?? andy's card said to let me know that he and meya love me. it was so sweet. i feel like i haven't gotten flowers in a while and to get them out of the blue for no reason in particular, made me smile. anyway, things are going pretty nicely. thank god tomorrow is friday. work was pretty laid back this entire week and we didn't have very many babies come into the lab at UCSD while i was there, so my time there was pretty relaxed. this weekend is gonna be interesting. tomorrow begins the fun for andy's friend's bachelor party, so who knows what i will be doing with myself tomorrow night. and on saturday, when they are having day 2 of the bachelor party, crissy and i are going up to my friend's daughter's birthday party in moreno valley. but before that, we are going to ontario mills to go shopping. i want to look for a dress for rob and heather's wedding. i really just wanted to go shopping, and i realized i had an actual thing i needed to look for, which is a bonus. well, i just wanted to mention my roses and say hello since i haven't blogged in a while. i'm sure i had something else to say, but i'm tired and i still need to move my car out of the street.

Oops, i meant, i'll pull down YOUR underwear.... :) anyway, yes, i realize it has been a bazillion years since halloween (okay, 5 days) but i was having a super shitty day that day, so i didn't feel like blogging. nor did i feel like blogging the friday, saturday or sunday following halloween. so, alas, here i am and blogging away at work, and it's monday so i'm missing the weekend already. i've got about half an hour left before i can go home, and then after that i have to go to seafood city to buy broccoli and mushrooms cause i'm making, as my sister calls it, broccoli to da beef. long story.
well, this was a thought i wanted to share as a halloween thought, but i think it has enough merit to bring it up even though the holiday has passed. i'm not quite sure where i heard, maybe on the radio or talking to someone, but someone was telling me that their niece or daughter or something like that was going to dress up as an "asian girl" for halloween. okay, is it just me, or does that not make sense as a costume? since when did we start dressing up as ethnicities for halloween? this statement was made (albeit that i can't remember who or when it was said) as though this was a very typical and normal idea for a costume for a child. would it be as politically correct to say a little asian girl is going to dress up as a caucasian girl or a little african american girl? after that logic, being an "asian girl" for halloween can't make any sense to anyone. if it does make sense, maybe one of these days when i have a child (a million years from now) i think i'm going to dress her up like a little white girl.... whatever that will mean in that time.
so, just recently i've borrowed a book from a friend of mine (i guess you could call her a friend, i work with her in the lab i volunteer at and she's very cool) and it is called "career paths in psychology, where your degree can take you." and if you know me at all, i need this book like you wouldn't believe. i've already received my undergraduate degree and i know i want to go to graduate school, but i'm so clueless on what exactly it is i would like to do with a graduate degree. a passing thought occurred to me while i was working, maybe since i don't know what i want to do with my undergrad degree, maybe i'll just skip the whole graduate school jazz, get married, have babies, and live a pretty mediocre life, just working (nothing too spectacular) and raising children. and then, of course, i entered reality and i know that that is not the life i want. and i've never wanted it. and i've never even entertained that idea for longer than 3 milliseconds. not that there is anything wrong with raising kids and working simply to help support your family, but i guess i've just always desired something else for my life and my career. but geez, how easy would it be if i could just wash that away and stop wanting graduate school so badly. hmmm.....
anyway, for the weekend, andrew, kyle and i watched "punch drunk love." if you are interested in seeing it and would like a good review of the movie, talk to andrew and kyle. i guess i just wasn't in the mood. it was bizarre and it made me crazy, so i'm not too thrilled about it. it was alot like "the royal tannenbaums" which i actually think was pretty good. not one of my favorite movies, but not bad, at all. like i said earlier, maybe i just wasn't in the mood.
saturday, we ran errands most of the day... picked up my glasses, got gas, ate, ordered another master key for Hua Mei from BMW, bought meya food, went to a paintball store, home depot and starbucks. we chilled at home that night which was the first time we weren't actually doing something for a saturday night, which was nice. and last night we went to the festival of animation for the sick and twisted show. it was the last showing here in san diego, so it had a pretty good vibe and it was fun. somehow, we ended up sitting in front of the 20 year old trekkie boys, which was lame, but all in all, it was good fun.
