| WTF IS UP WITH THIS FREAKIN' QUARTER!!!! Even though it's already over, even though my college career is finally complete - the shit is still thrown in my face - WTF is up with this continued bad luck!? ARGGGHHHHHHHHHH! I'm freakin' going insane!! | | |
| Hahaha so if you didn't know, a little under a week or so ago I changed my relationship status from "single" to "in a relationship" on facebook. During random conversations about life & relationships and dinner at BJs, Becca and I had a conversation about how much of a freakin' soap opera facebook has been since the invention of the mini-feed and announcements such as the above relationship ones, as well as how nosy and gossipy ppl got afterwards. To quote Drew, "If it's on facebook, then it must be true!"
As an experiment and joke, I changed my status, just to see how people would react when they saw it. Immediately after I made the change, I went to study, and when I returned home I noticed a shitload of posts on my wall, as well as a bunch of IMs from ppl asking "who?!", etc. etc. Needless to say, it was freakin' hilarious; I even got my housemates in on it to trick other people (*high fives to them!*). Haha anyway I have to admit, by the end of the week it started to get annoying having to dodge so many questions and make up shit - YOU PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN TO GIVE UP!!! LOL! So, I decided to cut the act before things got out of hand. You have to admit though, I had you all fooled! It just goes to show you how freakin' nosy people can get over something as simple as a relationship status change on facebook.
In conclusion, you've been punk'd, you nosy bitches!!! HAHAHAHA I freakin' rock.
Special thanks to my housemates for going along with the joke - it wouldn't have lasted as long as it did without you guys 
Besides, how could I ever afford the time to be in a relationship when my REAL baby (i.e. my car!!) is sitting in a body shop, broken and badly damaged?? 
In any case, shame on you guys for being so nosy and persistent, but good luck on finals!

| Fate must really hate me 
Man I can't lie...ever since that stupid accident, I've been a miserable wreck.
I know, I know, at I should be happy enough that I'm okay, and I am thankful that it wasn't worse; I'll give you that.
But man, and I'm not B.S.-ing you, at the end of many days since I got it, my car was seriously the only thing that made me happy. I could always count on it to make me smile, even though things were going quite crappily. Feeling the rush of the 300 horses kicking in, the g forces on the turns, the waves of 'hello' from fellow impreza drivers...those made my day. My car was my escape from it all, at times when I just wanted to give the big finger to the world and cut loose. Yeah, I loved my car THAT much. Haha, even when I was going crazy, bitching about relationships about girls and stuff with people , it didn't matter in the end as long as I had my car.
*Sigh* I've been praying everyday for a desirable resolution to this...just please for once this quarter, let things work out the way I want them to! It'd be a sad end to my undergrad career if it didn't.
On a lighter note, Thanksgiving was filled with lots of (Filipino) food and little productivity. I didn't get a chance to go shopping b/c I was car-less for most of the weekend, but my housemates were able to score me a snowboard bag up at Sierra Ski & Patio that was on sale...Good Lord that place is addicting! Nor-Cal-ers, you guys are lucky to have a store like that - the deals there are freakin' amazing, I kid you not.
Back home I went out for drinks and food at BJs with a couple of my friends, and one of my best friends since elementary school came back from the east coast, after finishing his service in the Navy there. Even though we are a lot busier than we were in high school, shootin' the shit was like old times, as if we picked up where we left off...it was awesomeness indeed.
So as a rental car I was able to get a Chevy Impala, a big boat of a car. Haha it's seriously an old person's car...I don't know why rap stars like it so much, other than that it's hella big & roomy. It has old people accomodations, like the parking break being set by a pedal, not a lever, a trunk release button by the steering wheel, as opposed to a lever by the driver's side seat, bench seats (which, not surprisingly, has a 100% consensus of being a good thing, according to all the guys I talked to, lol  ), and to top that all off, old man smell. It's not bad by any means, just really made for old people. I have to admit, after driving this around for awhile, I prefer mid-size and compact sedans to these full size things - it's not as nimble for sure - but who knows, that may change if I ever lay my paws on an Audi S8 - (detuned) Lamborghini V10, bitches!! Haha...
I have a quiz tomorrow in O. Chem that I'm kinda worried about. It shouldn't be toooo bad; I kinda understand the stuff, but I know I'll need to review some more before class; hopefully there'll be time. Haha I just have a hard time studying by myself - it's so much easier to focus when there's somebody there to study with you!
Alright...I guess I should get ready for bed now...gotta wake up early tmr, like at 5-5:30ish or so to get ready for going to Sac City...peace

| It's been awhile, and things have been up and down, with the most recent happenings on the downside.
+: Got a snowboard! Burton Bullet, Ride LX Bindings, and DC Boots - the perfect setup for a beginner like me  I'm freaking addicted now, and I can't wait to go boarding. Cedric and I both got boards at the recent Snow and Ski expo in Sac, and we also got to test drive Cadillacs and BMWs too - great stuff. Seriously, after you get over the initial hump of spending all that money on snowboard gear at once, everything else is cake. Haha, the dude convinced me to pick up matching a DC jacket and pants as well...lol
-: Crashed my car :( I hit a slick, oily spot on the Hutchinson Ave to 80W onramp, hydroplaned off the pavement and slammed the rear end into a tree. The car was thrashed, but thankfully I'm okay, only bruising some ribs. But damn, it REALLY sucks; I just got that car; if anything I imagined that if i were to have wrecked the car, it would have been through screwing around, practicing rallying in the dirt six or seven years from now, when the warranty ended...I swear it was cursed from the get go...dealer exchange, so it had miles on it already, keyed within a week when I took it up to Davis, and now this. I swear, I can never get my way without some sort of catch to it (hence all the bad luck I've been having with the car). Damn it all, it definitely could have been worse, but I pray constantly that this situation works out the way I hope it does...*fingers crossed*
Overall, this quarter has been crappy for the most part, but I hope things turn around next quarter!
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.
P.S. I freakin' love living in Chaparral again. It's God's way of saying I never should have left!

| I think I'm on the verge of breaking down. For the past couple of weeks, I've been experiencing an unexpected and frequent string of bad luck, and I don't know what the hell is going on...Here's a sample of what's been happening: -Failing an NPB101L lab quiz
-Doing poorly on my Tagalog midterm (I've now just dropped the class)
-Both my Laptop AND Desktop dying, right when I especially need them to work on my lab report
-Having my paper be two days (and thus dropped a full letter grade) late because I couldn't get access to a computer
-Getting in trouble at work for using the computer after work hours
-Getting no help with our PG&E situation at Avalon (only Drew's responded out of those who I've emailed - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!; the other 2 haven't been answering their emails at all)
-And a whole bunch of other shit that isn't as big, but it's more fuel to the fire. I can't wait til this weekend...at least I'll have a quick breather from everything, so I can catch up on my work. But seriously though, I could really use a hug right now... | | |
