Quicky blog, then Imma sleep;
     Donald is so friken quiet. GRR. I made a new friend in Trig. His name is Jimmy and he copies homework from me. LOL. We walked together after class and we got to talk, not about trig. He's pretty nice. I think THAT'S Allan Dale's friend. I'm not positive. I'll ask tomorrow. Uhh...
     PCI! I think I have a plan, Imma go up to him and his friends tomorrow where they hang out at (outside the school) and introduce myself and talk to them for a little. I need to hang out with people MY age sometimes! Lol. We made Palmiers, cinnamon twists, pinwheels, spirals, and apple turnovers. Yum yum. I got out earlier than goat intestines, but it's alright. Hoprefully I won't chicken out on my plan tomorrow. Hopefully...
     I dropped off some food at karate, then I went to Mountain Mike's for Pizza Night!! Yumyum! We got Club Chicken. It had hella bacon on it! Bleh. Oh wells, I finished my 4 slices before any of the other guys did. SCORE pour moi! Hehe. Alan and I stopped by Darren's house to drop off some goodies then I went home.
     I finished Trig hw pretty fast. I'm somewhat getting it. I'm only getting stumped on a few problems. After, I then rewrote my PCI notes. I don't have time to do Trig notes. Not enough time! Ughh. Alright, bed time. I'm beat!

     I'm gonna do a light summary of my night before it's the next day. I went to Stephanie's house for a birthday party but I only stayed for about an hour. When I went home, I went to Darren's house and we had diner at Chipotle's. I already are so I didn't eat anything. We then walked around and Alan needed to go to the bathroom so Darren and I were ninja hiding from him. LOL. Anyways, after, we went to Victoria's Secret and I bought 2 bra's for $32 dollars. Pretty good I must say. Anyways, we just walked around and chilled for a bit. We left the mall around 9, went back to Darren's house, then decided to watch SAW at my house. I didn't have the movie so we just watched THE CRASH instead. HELLA GOOD! Rightt? Lol. They were like "NO! OMG!" Lol, hella funny. But yea. I'm glad we chose this movie, it was a good ending to our night. Yay! 3 minutes to spare! I'll post pictures up later from the night, but good times.

     I'm failing TRIG! That test was hella hard! I definately failed, forsure. I indirectly talked to that cute guy sitting next to me Wilson! Yay! Lol.
     I was too early for PCI... We made fruit tartlets today! I made HELLA! I stole some fruits and stuff, so when I got to karate, I made them right at the spot. Just some mini tartlets, whipped cream and a piece of fruit. Yum! Lol. Everyone loved them. i swear, I think I made a little over 100! Good thing I brought them to karate. I don't know what I would do with them all...
    After, Darren, Alex and Vince met up with me at karate RIGHT when I was about to leave. Then Brandon came, and Jared, and Ferly. LOL. Random much? Anyways, Us 4 walked over to Mountain Mike's for PIZZA TUESDAY! I hope it becomes a tradition! I love pizza! I saw Francie today! I miss her! Alan met up with us at Mountain Mike's. We ordered The Everest, size: Mountain. (Note to self: I owe Alan $3 ish). So we just chilled there and waited about 20 minutes until our pizza came. Then we immediately went straight to Alex's house to enjoy our dinner. Yum! I ate 5 slices. SHUT UP I'M NOT A FATTY! Lol. We were watching hella random stuff on TV. Anyways, arund 8:30, 9ish, We decided to go home. I got dropped off at karate by Alan and I took my brother home. I did a pit stop to Darren's first though. Lol.
     I'm hella tired! I'm about to crash right now, but my hair is wet. Maybe in a couple of minutes.. Bleh. Sleepy. I had a wierd dream that I had a blind date dinner with a white guy. Lol.
     "I don't know you. But I want to say hello to you. Ask you on a date or two." Josh Golden; Small Town, Big City. I still can't believe he's only 15... I really enjoy listening to his music.

     Alan spent the WHOLE day with me. Hecka crazy! He went to De Anza with me, sat in my French and Trig class and we chilled at the park.
     After De Anza, I drove us to PCI but we got there hella early so we started to stall. Lol. But yea, I got him all fitted, got changed and headed off to class. I think Alan had fun, we made Bacon and Chive scones and cranberry walnut muffins. Since I didn't like bacon, on a third of the dough, I put in parmesean cheese instead. I personally think it tastes hecka good! I haven't tried my muffins yet, but I tried chef's. I think it tastes okay. The cranberries are very sour though...
     After PCI, we dropped off some goodies at karate and went to the football game. It was pretty fun. The band wasn't THAT bad. Jen and Allyson are such cuties! LOL. Kim met up with me and we said hi to a bunch of people. After halftime, Kim and I went back to her house and talked. So relaxing.
     Now I'm watching the Office. Hecka funny. But I'm super tired so GOOD NIGHT!

     Tiffany and I had a good conversation over nice hot curly fries. It was really nice. The air was humid though! By the time it was 11:25, I walked Tiffany to class. We chilled outside a bit longer and Kevin met up with us. We just talked and stuff until it was time for their class. As I was about to leave for class, I met up with Patrick and Ronald. We just chilled some more and stuff. It was nice. I saw Adam while I was with them! LOL. I was like "OMG! That's the hot guy from orientation!" Patrick was like, "I wish I was good looking so good looking girls like you can talk about me!" Aww, I very solly Patrick.
     As I was walking from the lot to the front door to PCI, I was walking next to this super good looking guy! He had a nice car and he's a culinary student! The downfall? He was as tall as me. So I walked next to him for like a split-second and I walked faster. Well, that's my normal walking speed anyways. Maybe next time I'll say HI or something. If there ever IS a next time.
     Class was fun, we just made raisin bread and cinnamon rolls. Yumyum! Lol. I went to karate and dropped off some goodies, and then I went to visit my dear sick friend, Darren. I have a strong immune system so hopefully I wont get sick.
     Alan is coming to De Anza and PCI with me tomorrow! Yay! Lol. I gotta sleep now though. Good Night!
 
    I'm gonna skip all the boring De anza stuff unless somthing interesting happens now.
     So on Thursday, Chef Stephanie was our chef. She's hella funny. I totally forgot my shoes at home! FML. I asked chef if i could wear my black and white flats but she was like "NOOOO you have to get your shoes or you cant take class" So I'm like CRAPP. And I call hella people. I called my mom but she couldnt bring it to me because she was at a funeral. Then I called a bunch of other people WHO DIDN'T PICKUP THEIR PHONES! Ugh... Anyways, yea. So I just told chef that I wanted to stay for the demo, then I'll run home and get my shoes and come back. So, It was like 2 hours before the demo. She just talked and lectured and stuff. Right after the demos, I immediately left to go home. There was TRAFFIC! FML. It took me almost 50 minutes to go to and from school. But when I got back, I immediately started on my Pate A Choux. I finished pretty fast I must admit. I need to practice my piping more though, forsure. We made Eclairs, Swan heads/bodies, Paris Brest, Profiterals, and Cream Puffs. Then we made pastry cream to fill the puffed pastries with. This was a 2 day thing. So that day, I didn't get to bring home any goodies. Tear. It was all good though. I worked pretty fast but also carefully.
     The next day, we were taught how to make 3 different pastry creme fillings and 1:1 ganauche. We did Creme Chantilly, Quick Bavarian and Pastry Creme (custard). Then, we just filled our Pate A Choux and learned how to assemble a Swan. It was fun. I also plated it and took pictures. After, we had extra time, so chef gave us a Pop Quiz on the metric system. It wasn't graded though, it was just to see if we knew our conversions and everything. I got 3 wrong out of 30. Yay?! Lol.
     After class, I was trying to call all of the karate people to see where Night of Integration was at. No one picked up their friken phones. It's so annoying! I hate it when people don't pick up their phones, you have a phone for a reason, so use it! Damn. Anyways, I went to USC and it was almost empty. So I was kinda like "WTF?" I didn't know where it was! But on the bright side, there was USC Soccer Practice, shirts Vs skins. Yum, abs... So yea, I decided to just go home then because no one was responding to my calls. When I got back on the freeway, I couldn't make it into the other lanes because it was all trafficy, so I was forced to take the next exit. FML. It took me to DTSJ. I got kinda lost, but I saw Chicken Coop, and then 7th street. I got really lost after that, I just ended up calling Darren who tried to help me, but didn't really. I somehow found my way to Falafel's Drive-In. From there, I found a way to get home. Yesh! Lol. Thanks anyways Darren. He tried his best. Then I called Kim and decided to go to her house to give her some goodies. I hate traffic. I took the exit to Kim's house, so I had to take the next exit, which was even worse! It took me forever to get to her house! But I finaly survived and made it.
     Kim and I just talked and had some of my goodies. Lol. It was really nice and relaxing. Then I was craving chips so we went out to Safeway and bought some chips. Yum. Then I got back to her house and stayed till 8:30 PM. I love Kim! Lol.
      At 8:30 PM, I then went to Darren's house because Alan was there. We just ate some of my goodies and watched TV. It was pretty nice and chill. Just sitting and watching TV. The Ghost Hunters show is hecka freaky! At 11:30 PM, I decided to go home because I was so exhausted.
     Now, I'm about ready to sleep. So good night! Plans for tomorrow:
-Clean and stuff
-Take Nicole to Ballet Class
-Black Belt Test?
-Band Competition @  Cupertino!!!

     I forgot to blog about my day yesterday. That creeper was distracting me...
Anyways!
     I hate school. It's boring. Darren carpooled with me and right when we parked, Alex, Vince and Patty were there. Yay! Reunion much? Lol. We then went to the library as Alex and Vince went to get food and to class. So, I chilled in the library, reading my homework assignment for PCI. I was going to go to french class, but Patty and Darren somehow convinced me to just skip it. So instead, I stayed in the library doing homework. Then at 9:25 AM, I immediately left for trig. I hate trig, our teacher is ridiculous... Anyways. after, I went back to the library, did some trig homework, and just chilled with Darren, Patty, Alex, and Vince. Then, Kevin came out of nowhere. Then another Kevin came. Then David came. PARTAY! Lol. Jk. This random library lady scolded us for having "too much" people. We only had friken 5 at the time too. Anyways, Around 11:30 AM, I walked Patty to class and I left for PCI.
     PCI was fun that day. We cut our rapid puff pastry and made Palmiers, Pretels, Cinnamon Twists and Cheese straws. I say that the cheese straws are my favorite. We used parmesean cheese. My FAVORITE! Lol.
     After class, I went to the locker room again and saw the cute guy looking at me again. If he talks to me, I get 10 points! So, I got changed and everything and went home. When I got home, I decided to plate the things that I made today and take pictures of them. I need to be more professional with my plating so I can put them all into a nice portfolio. Then I went to karate and gave them some goodies. Good thing Shelby was in the office. I went there and chilled. Shelby ate some Palmiers (which is now her favorite) and a Cinnamon twist. Then Mariah and Patrick came in to eat some Palmiers (which they liked). Patrick proposed to me but I had to deny him. SORRY! I plan to marry a chef. Hopefully. Then OJ came in while us ladies were in the room (Shelby, Mariah and I). He went in, stood there, looked at the box and just stared. We were hecka giggling because I was trying to hide from OJ under Mariah's hair. Then he came and burst in. We were still giggling but we didn't say anything. After about 2 minutes of random silences + giggling he was just like "Oh, you guys are talking about me? OKAY" and he left. Whatever! I don't want to feed him stuff anyways. He makes me feel guilty so sometimes I HAVE to give it to him... Anyways, Allan Dale came in later and ate the last Palmiers. I left some extra pastries for the staff and I then I headed off to Darren's house. Alan was there. We had some cinnamon sticks and looked at Darren's China pictures. Then we watched some random videos. Then I left while the guys went to Costco.
     Not much when I got home, just did homework and slept early, around 11 PM. I need to sleep earlier!

     De Anza was boring. After class, I just chilled with Tiffany in the library. She kept talking to me as I was doing my hw... ANYWAYS. After I finished hw, I left pretty early and headed towards PCI.
     When I got there, I got changed and went to get my books and toolkit. The toolkit is HEAVY... kinda. It's heavy when your hands are all full of books and other stuff. So, I went to my class and 2 adult ladies were already there. Then the rest came in. We have a class of all Adult women except this one girl who I think might be my age. She's pretty quiet though so iono. I have too much hair. I had to redo my hat like a bajillion times! So frustrating...
    So my chef instructor is Chef Alex. He's lived in France for 12 years so he has this super heavy french accent. The good thing is that I can talk to him in french. Yay! Lol. Today, we just made the beginning of Rapid Puff Pastry and we made Shortbread cookies for the "Three Sisters" cookie. Which is where you take 2 cookies and spread jam in between them. You might also want to make a window in the top cookie so that you can see the color. It tastes hecka good! Yum! Lol. I like my class. We all work really well together as a team. Yea, it was just enjoyable overall.
     So after class, I had to go to the lockers to get my stuff, but I had way to many things to carry so I took 2 trips. So embarassing. On the second trip, I was kinda following this lady back to the locker, but then I was like, "Ughh I don't want to follow her like I'm a creeper, I'm gonna turn right at this corner." So I turn right, but then 2 steps laters I'm going the wrong way so I make a Uie and it looked hella funny. Then I "casually" look into the culinary arts class and I see this pretty cute guy looking at me. SO embarassing. The locker room was right in front of that class too! So when I got out, I just swiftly exited and didn't look into the class again... I'm such a dork...
     After PCI, I was going to go home, but then I decided to go to Karate to drop off some cookies. I'm obviously not going to finish it. When I got there, I originally didn't want to give OJ ANY. But then he "casually" went to the front desk to tell Shelby something. Then he looked in the box and started gasping so loud... Then I kinda HAD to give him some. FML. Oh well. After, I went to Darren's house and gave his family some cookies. Then Darren and I went to give Alan some cookies. We just stayed there and chilled. Then we decided to go to the mall. I had to take Darren to Nob Hill first so he could buy stuff for his mom. Then we went to the mall. We walked around, looked at stores, got hella job applications and bought Kernal POP. Then we went back to Darren's place and had some tacos/burritos. We were also watching the Hockey game. SJ SHARKS VS LA KINGS. Friken Sharks lost though! Ughh. My favorite hockey player is #44 - Mark Edouard Vlasic. Iono, he just reminds me of a pickle, that's why I like him. But friken Sharks! Hockey is basically the only sport I really like. I think I'm gonna be more of a hockey fan now. Definately.

     Yesterday was a short day at school. After I finished classes, I went to the library to do some homework. I ended up hanging out with Patty for a while. We then walked to the cafeteria and she bought large curly fries. There was A LOT to eat! Lol.  We just walked around campus till it was 12 and then it was time for me to leave.
     When I got home, I was super tired so I decided to nap. I ended up napping for 2 hours. When I woke up, I went out and bought some things for the cake. then I came home and worked on it some more. After long hours of working on the cake, i got all 3 tiers baked and filled. The top tier was the only tier with fondant covering because I ran out of cream cheese frosting... Darn. Anyways, it was super late, like around 11:30 PM, then Darren called me telling me that they were here, so Alan, Kenny and Darren just chilled at my house till 12:30 AM. They're so random. We were playing with Clover, then they put Clover in the dog pen thingy and put a blanket over it. Man too much random stuff to list. Anyways, after they left I went right to sleep.
     I woke up at 8:30 AM today. I immediately started working on the cake. I also longboarded to Safeway. OMG, right when I got to Safeway, I hella slipped and fell off of my board! FML. Hecka embarassing, and Tyler Dec was there too! LMAO. Anyways, I bought 2 cans of cream cheese frosting, sorry but it was cheaper than to buy cream cheese and butter. Anyways, I longboarded back home and kept working on the cake. I'm finally finished with it! Halfway through the process, I wanted to give up, it didn't really look that good... I just kept working on it though because it'd be a big ass waste if I just threw it away. Now that I'm done, it doesn't look that bad. I just need to work more on shaping the cake and cutting it straight. Also, I need to remember to use different size pans. I know I used 3 different ones, but it kinda looks like a blob, there's no distinct differences between the tiers. More PANS! Lol. Anyways, it's almost time for the party, gotta get ready. BYE!
