This morning, Darren and I hit every possible Bay Area Traffic... We left Milpitas around 7:30 AM. We headed off to Costco to get some gas. After getting gas, we decided to continue on 680 to go to school. It was a nice smooth ride until we hit traffic. It was seriously Stop and Go traffic. So annoying. After about half an hour, we finally made it to 880 Oakland. We took that exit. We were seconds away from hitting the 880 traffic, but good thing I spotted the Steven's Creek exit. That exit redirected us to Valley Fair and Santana Row. If only we didn't have class. By then, it was 8 AM and I had half an hour to go to class. We weren't sure which way to go so I called up Patty and she told us to make a U-turn, but she wasn't sure so she said she'll call us back. We made that U-turn, but then hit Falafel's Drive In so we decided that it was the wrong way, so we made another U-turn and kept driving down Steven's Creek. We finally made it to De Anza. Of course, I was 20 minutes late for class. I'm glad we didn't get lost or anything though. That is the LAST time any of us will take 680 to 280 to 880 to De Anza...
     In the meantime, I'm chilling in the library. Kevin gave me the Fame Soundtrack so I'm listening to it right now. I'm absolutely in love with Asher Book's voice.

     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!

     Yesterday was one of the longest day every. Short recap because I'm really tired.
    School, 8:30 AM - 10:20 AM. I waited at school till 4:30 PM because that's when Darren gets out of class. He doesn't start till 2:30 PM by the way. From 10:20 - 11:00, I hung out with Patty then I went back to the library where Darren was at. We went to Panda for lunch. NO DARREN NOT ALL GUYS WERE CHECKING ME OUT. Bleh... Donald met up with us at Panda. We then walked to the park and chilled there. Ducks scare me. Alex and Vince met up with us and left at 1:30 PM for class. We left the park around 2 PM and went to the library to find a spot. Darren went to class so it was just Donald and I. I did some homework and used the Mac. There really isn't much to do... 3:30, Alex and Vince met up with us and at 4:30, we finally left. I got so bored that I started playing chess on the Mac. I keep losing...
     Embarrassing moment! After French, I was heading off to Trig so I got on my longboard. I didn't have much balance so I kinda fell off. Then I just got back on and I hear my name being called. When I look it was a guy that went to my school and he was hanging out with Gerald and his gang of friends. So embarrassing. I can't remember his name right now but we had physics class today.
    After I got home, I went out and bought stuff at Nob Hill, then I started baking. After my first red velvet cake, Alan and Darren showed up and helped me make 2 more red velvets. We had extra ingredients so I decided to let them make their own cupcakes. We didn't have red food coloring anymore so they used black. LOL. It's funny, they were winging their recipe. In the end, the cup cakes look funny, but it tasted so delicious! Yum! Lol. After that, we longbored for a little and they all left after 12 AM. I definatley hit the hay after. SLEEP.
     Alright, I'm done blogging about yesterday. I'm gonna take an hour nap, and finish the cake. Yum!

     Today, Darren and I carpooled to school. Darren picked me up and we got to De Anza by 8 AM. So... Early. We just chilled in the library till it was time for me to go to class.
     After class, I had extra time so I went to the library to get my trig book, then I headed to class. After class, I went back into the library, I figured that Darren would've been already in class so I started on my homework. Then Darren met up with me at the library, he didn't get into class, unfortunately. We went upstairs, to the quiet parts of the library and I watched How I Met Your Mother. Omg, seriously hilarious! I was laughing to myself. Somehow, Alex and Vince found us... Random? Anyways, Patty called me later and her and I went out to Baskin Robbins for ice cream and she got fries and a Mc Chicken from McDonalds. Around 12:30 PM, she took me back to school and dropped me off.
     I then met up with the guys and we went back to our "spot" in the library. OMG, when I was there, I saw ADAM! LOLOL. He's the guy from my orientation class. I seriously think he thinks I'm weird. I'm sorry I'm so awkward. So yea, the guys went to class so I was sitting alone laughing as I was watching HIMYM. Adam was sitting a few tables away from me with people at his table. LOL. I think he noticed me, how can you not notice me? I'm wearing vibrant yellow! LOL. Anyways, After a few episodes, I decide to then do my homework. I thought it was smart to do trig and listen to music at the same time. Terrible idea. I can't multitask for my life... I attempted to do homework. Around 3:25, I decided to leave. I didn't know where to go so I somehow wandered my way to the car. I chilled there for a little until Donald and Darren came.
     After we got back to Milpitas, we got to drive by the band. We all, of course, yelled PENIS! Lol. After we dropped off Donald, we went to Frank's house so I could pick up my longboard. Then we went to school and chilled till band was over.
     Long. Day. I'm tired. I'm debating whether I should go to black belt tryouts or not.

     I had difficult sleeping last night. I think I officially fell asleep around 2 or 3 AM. I woke up at 8 AM this morning to take a nice shower to wake me up. I was done before 8:30 and I had nothing to do. I don't eat breakfast anymore so I just drank a cup of soy milk. I got so bored so I started youtubing things while I waited for my hair to dry. I youtubed Milo Ventimiglia. [Me-low Ven-tuh-me-lee-uh] The "g" is silent in this case. He's my new favorite actor, alongside Patrick Dempsey. Around 9:10 AM, I was already out the door, in my car and heading out towards PCI.
    I got there almost half an hour early so I just relaxed in my car. I started singing along with the music on my ipod. LOL. By the time it was 9:45 AM, I decided to head out. When I got there, I got my folder and everything [they spelled my last name wrong!] Then, they led us to the conference room area where we sat in. I met a lot of new people. One was Janelle who knows Shian and goes to Piedmont Hills High. I met a few others, but they sat in the wrong table so they had to move. Another girl was Caitlyn [sp?]. She and i competeted against each other and she was the other one who got first place. Janelle got 3rd.
     So, we just went through everything for PCI. After 2 hours, it was time to pick up books and uniforms. Janelle and I went a little late because we had to fill out paper, by the time we got our books, a lot were already out, plus the tool kits. So we just got 2 books. We're actually supposed to get about 5 big books and a heavy tool kit. Good thing I didn't get it though because I'd have too much to carry. After we got books, we went to the "fishbowl" and got our uniforms. Janelle couldn't find hers but she found mines. Lol. I feel bad, I hecka just left her. I needed to go talk to somebody about De Anza and stuff so I had to leave her. SORRY.
     I went back down to the book room. They told us that the first 6 days of class, we had to be there at 7 AM but I wouldn't be able to make it because I had classes at 8:30 AM. So I talk to the chef about it and they just told me to call back and he'll hook me up with online classes for now. On the 6th day, that is when we're supposed to take our exam, so he told me to come in after De Anza and they'll issue me a test.
     Anyways, by the time I left, it was 12. I followed Allan Dale's map to Gunderson and I somehow actually made it there! LOL. When I got there, I only saw Brandon. I didn't change into my uniform so I was trying to aviod KJN Ernie and Tony. KJN Tony spotted me, but I got hecka lucky. He didn't yell at me! He was just talking to me about PCI and stuff. Hehe. Brandon was like, "Don't worry, you wont get in trouble because he likes you" But I was like, "STILL I'M GONNA GET INTO TROUBLE!" but I didn't! Oh Yesh! Lol. I stayed at the tournament for a hecka long time! Everyone left too! Well except Brandon, Bianca, Diane, Daniel, and Patty. Brandon was still performing. I didn't know how to get home so I just waited till the end. I said Hi to KJN Ernie and after half an hour after everything was done, Patty led me back on the freeway. We stopped by Katelyn's home to pick her up.
     OMG, her whole family isn't part of West Coast anymore! It's so sad! Anyways, we all headed out to Quickly's, but when we got there, I told them about Verde and it's happy hour. We decided to go to Verde instead so I led them to Verde. Kim met up with us too! After Verde, we all went to Hilltop to explore. The bought HECKA stuff! Gosh, rich people! Lol. I bought a special gift for a special somebody. Hehe... Anyways, we all went our seperate ways after. Patty, Daniel, Diane and Bianca left while I drove Katelyn to her cousin's house in Milpitas. He lives hecka close to me! Katelyn said that since her family isn't in West Coast anymore, they might buy a house in Milpitas. She's gonna be living hecka close to me! Lol. She also told me that Justin Baltazar lives really close to me too. Yum.
     Anyways, after I dropped her off, I went to Staples and bought a bunch of school supplies. Yay! Lol. Then I headed back home and now I'm here.
     For some odd reason today, I'm really craving to hang out with Axell. After dinner, Axell and I are gonna surprise Jen at her house. YOU BETTER ACT SURPRISED JEN! Lol.
     I'm excited for PCI to start! We already got homework! Lol.

     I woke up and cleaned the house. I started off with my room. Then I cleaned downstairs. I also did SOME laundry. Lol. I also scrubbed the range in the kitchen because it was DISGUSTING and dirty. After cleaning the kitchen and stuff, it was around 12 and I got this random phone call from Patty. She asked me where the nearest Quickly's was and I told her, but that was too far away so I just told her about Tapioca Express. She didn't know how to get there, so she picked me up and I showed her how to get to Tapioca Express. I also had to go to TK to buy my sister some food. So Patty went to Tap, I went to TK. She won of course. Lol.
     After, she drove me home while I gave my sister the food and got Bianca's gift. Then I went with her to Piedmont Middle and we gave her friend Sabrina the Tapioca drink. OH! On the way there, my left contact ripped! It was irritating me so I took it out and it ripped! No wonder! I had to keep on the other contact for the time being because I wouldn't be able to see without it. After Piedmont Middle, we went to the Great Mall where I bought some Sabarro Pizza and Patty bought shoes for Esprit Reyes. It was regular slip ons but in Black. I wish I had new vans. Lol. I don't really own any to start with. ANYWAYS. It was getting late so Patty drove me to school so I could pick up my brothers. We were waiting and waiting for a long time. Then I called my mom and she said to go out and see if they're at the park, and they were! Ugh... Lol. But yea, Patty drove the 3 of us home. Thank you Patty! You didn't have to through all of that hassel! I fun hanging out with you though!
     So after I got home, I had time to spare so I watched 3 episodes of Heroes. OMG So good! I wanted to finish it but I had to go to Kids Night Out, so I brought my DVD player and left to go there.
     There were actually a lot of kids. It was pretty crazy because they were so loud. We started off with Steal the Bacon. I had to lead that game because Allan Dale had something to do. I'm glad I was there to help out. But, omg, they were so loud! After, we started doing a relay race kinda thing. I could tell that Allan Dale was getting frustrated so I told the candidates to monitor and keep them in control. That worked for a little bit. After the relay race, the kids got some food and watched the movie. They are crazy eaters too! A lot of them came back for thirds and fourths for pizza! Wow! Lol. I think it was an hour and a half into the movie then I told them that it was time to clean up so they could start the robot building contest. One word: Crazy. After the competition, the kids were still really loud and you can hecka tell that Allan Dale was frustrated. I felt really bad. He had to really yell at them then pretend to be all happy and stuff. All in all, it was a really stressful night and I really doubt that we'd have Kids Night Outs ever again.
     After that, I went to In and Out to meet up with the guys. I got there early and waited. Yes Kenny I got mad at you. You kept calling me a bitch for no reason! I didn't even do anything. Once or twice, ok its a joke, but when you keep doing it, it gets really excessive and annoying. I was so close to hella cussing you out on the phone, not gonna lie, but instead I was like, fine whatever. The thing was, even if it was a joke, you sounded hella serious and I got really offended. Anyways, when you guys came and left I decided to go get gas. I only got about half a tank. Yay $18! Lol. I went back to Mc Carthy and I see Darren leaving. Bleh, so I call up Wilson and he tells me to meet him up at Darren's.
     The funny thing was, while I was driving there, there was a car right next to me at the stop light and I personally decided that I wanted to race him. But then I got lazy so I decided not to. Coincidentally, that person was going the same way I was! In the end, it was Perry. LOL. That was funny.
     In the end, we watched Harold and Kumar 2: Guantanamo Bay... Unrated. I'm forever scarred........

     Today, I hung out with Kim and Patty. We went to Santana Row where I went and bought hecka stuff at Sur La Table. Yesh! It's my heaven. O! While I was paying for it, I got 15% off because I'm a student at PCI! YESHHER! I'm probably gonna go there often now! I'm so excited to use all the stuff that I bought! After Sur La Table, we walked over to Urban Outfitters to just look around. Patty ended up buying these really nice sunglasses. After Urban, we walked to Kara's Cupcakes and bought ourselves one cupcake for $3.50, I got the chocolate velvet cupcake. We didn't eat it just yet, instead, we headed over to Valley Fair, went to Pizza My Heart and enjoyed our cupcakes while I also bought an all mushroom pizza. I love Pizza My Heart! Yum! After, we then just walked around and went into a bunch of stores but didn't really buy anything. Kim bought something at GAP though for her friend's birthday. So yea...
     Around 2, we left the mall and headed back to Patty's house. We just chilled with Daniel and Diane while Patty went to get a new car. Her rent-a-car is pretty nice! Not bad. So yea, Kim and I stayed there till 3:15 and then we left. I drove Kim home and I went home to take a nap.
     OMG! So right when I fell asleep, Hieu TEXTED ME! Omg! After that text, I couldn't fall asleep anymore. I was hecka cranky after that. I NEED MY SLEEP. It's not funny. So yea, I went to work and I ended up teaching the whole lil' dragon's class by myself. It was so lonely. Tear. I lost my voice by the end of the orange belt class. Tear. So yea!
     I'm planning to bake a single-tierd cake for Bianca's birthday. I dunno what to do yet...
