Cup o Noodo!!!
 
     Sorry for not picking up your call sweetiee, we were already in bed and lights were out. I didn't want to disturb Lauren or anything because she had to work at 7 in the morning. Yea..
     I woke up, did nothing till 12, picked up Megan, then headed off to work. I made more rice crispies today, 2 types of fountain chocolate, made more foccacia bread and did other things that I cannot recall. My memory seems to be getting worse. This worries me.
     I need to stop eating at work. All those left over brownies and rice crispies are making me feel terrible inside. First, I splurge. I eat and eat. Then I get full and go into a sugar coma. By the time break hits, I am no longer hungry, I no longer want to eat anything. I need to stop this insane habit. It does not benefit myself nor does it benefit anything in general. I can't help myself though. I guess that I have to make a promise to myself that I will only eat at work if its real food (like bread or fruits or something) or if I'm tasting it. Blahh. I brought my shorts inside from my car (Thank you for putting it in my car Albert!) I shall now wear leggings, shorts and a hoodie and jog every morning... Starting tomorrow. I'm such a lazy bum. Terrible, terrible me.
     After dropping off Megan after work, I ventured my way to Walmart where I splurged on air fresheners, post-its, glue and a new planner.
     Now I'm back at the apartment. lonesome and whatnot. Walmart didn't carry large sketchbooks so now I have to go to Michaels and buy one. Inspiration from my dear Kim. It'll definitely keep me occupied here. I'll get to remenice about the gool 'ol days. Oh, this will definitely be interesting. Most definitely.

Wednesday:
     This one I'm going to write out properly. Keke.
     So I woke up around 5:30 AM and got ready to go to Pebble Beach. Timmy came over and drove us there. So much fun. I kept freaking out because I thought that we missed the exits, but Timmy's just a really good driver.
     So I took my drug test, went to the HR Building, signed paperwork, went to orientation for 4 hours. SORRY TIMMY! (He went to all of the destinations in 17 mile drive. He did a photoshoot for Milo too! So sweet) Anyways, when i got out of orientation, he was waiting for me, then he drove me to the payroll place so I could get my ID card and stuff. Then I went to the Inn at Spanish Bay to talk to Vicki and Chef Anastasia. I asked tons of questions. When I got out, Timmy drove us back to the HR place so I could get my keys. That was our final stop which ended around 2ish?
     Anyways, we took a drive around 17 mile, then to Carmel-by-the-Sea. I love that beach. We chilled there for a while. Then we went back in town and ate at Internation Cusine. Yum! Timmy told me stories about his 1029479283570392481 different girlfriends. Lol! Just kidding, he's only had about 6. For me, only 2. What a difference.
     On the ride home, I basically KO'd. I feel bad though because I didn't keep Timmy company. Thank you for driving! When we got home, Timmy and I chilled in my room all brain dead and whatnot. Darren and Wilson eventually came over and they all just watched me pack.
     It was tough to say good bye, but I did it anyways. The hardest to depart from was Timmy. Immamissyou! <3 Two months almost seems impossible!
     Shortly after that, I left to pebble beach. Their city lights are beautiful! My roommates are Anna and Lauren. After I settled in for a bit, they invited me out to watch the midnight premier of The Last Airbender. Seriously, I was drained! I had to fall asleep a few times. I thought that movie was good... but then again, I think a lot of movies are good when they're not. Don't ask for my opinion! We didn't get home till 2! I definitely KO'd.

Today:
     I immediately woke up around 8 today. I saw Timmy's "Good Morning!" text, but I ended up forcing myself to go back to sleep before I would respond. When I woke up at 9, I just went on the internet and stuff. Then Anna showed me the way to work.
      WORK! Chef Anastasia started me off with making a flourless chocolate cake! GAHH. Lol. It looks soo good though. After that, She let me help her with her wedding cake. Keke. yesh! My first day and I got to help with something big! She was like, "I know you have good attention to detail". So awesome.
     I also made passionfruit curd (YUM!) and chocolate pudding. She also let me sauce 43 plates for the dinner time. I feel so privileged! haha. By the time it was 7:30, I was out and on my way back to the apartment.
     I didn't do much when I got back. Just watched some Vampire Diaries, sort of chatted, then the girls went to bed early b/c of work. Lala. Nothing to do. I'm hungry again! There's nothing to eat!!! Till tomorrow.

     The day at the beach yesterday was the SHIT!

RECAP:
     Woke up @ 8. Got some reading for polisci done. Picked up Clarice and headed over to my classmate's house for our "study group" meeting around 12. We took some group pictures of us as proof that we met up, then we left after about 5 or so minutes. I took Clarice home, then went home and cleaned out my car a bit.
     Once it was 1:30, the guys (Perry and Hieu) showed up and we left to go to Sharon's place. Upon arrival, Sharon and Vince hopped in my car and we went to a nearby tapioca joint to grab some snacks before leaving. I must thank Perry for paying for my food (although he did owe me to start with). I ordered the Crispy chicken combo (chicken + milk tea). So delish! Especially after a hard day's work of no food.
     Seacliff Beach! It's so windy there. I kind of wish we went to Carmel b/c the sand is much finer and cleaner. This beach had a bunch of rocks and twigs in it. It kind of sucked, but that's life.
     So many people were there! I was shocked. I'm so glad I went though. It was so much fun. Sharon and I started off by wading in the water. Then she decided to be a stripper and got down to her bikini. Sharon went full out in the water with Sherwin. Elizabeth, Eugene, Jasmine and I decided to not get fully wet and walked around in the water for a bit.
     After that, Sharon and I joined the guys and played a game I believe they called "God". That's where the ball as to be kicked 3 times consecutively, after the 3rd kick, someone grabs the ball and pegs it at someone. Pretty fun! Albert is definitely a beast. I got to peg Perry in the back! Bitchin! Haha.
     A few rounds of that later, we then transitioned to tackle football. If I remember correctly, the teams were:
1- Darren, Akash, Richard, Elizabeth, Tiana, Nhat, Van, Alan, David, Vince, and Kevin.  
2. Albert, Hieu, Eugene, Andrew, Tuan, Edward, Alex Tu, Wilson, Sharon, Alex G, and I
     I definitely felt that chicken in my stomach later on. It was pretty fun yet tiring. I got to tackle some people! Eugene and Richard were definitely at it! Richard mauled Eugene a bunch of times, but in the end, Eugene broke Richard's glasses by tackling him. LMAO! Also, there was some random dude from Alberquerque who played with us. He's pretty good!
    The game ended shortly after a few guys almost ran over a baby. Elizabeth, Sharon and I took some pretty randomass/funny jumping and posing pics.

     Omg! Tuan, Kevin, and Van play the guitar. I swear to god, I was in love for the longest time. They were all free styling it and everything too. Amazing. We all shared Van's Classical guitar. I got to showed them my noobie skills! Haha. I'm so gonna ask Kevin to teach me. He recommended some songs for me to learn. I'm currently on More Than Words - Extreme (cover by Frankie J). 
     Anyways, we sang to Elizabeth. She opened her gift from all of us (iPod nano in Black) and we just chilled around some more. By the time it was 10ish, we all packed up and headed back to San Jose.
     The traffic was terrible! Tuan was following me and he drives like an effin grandma! Lol. Darren was leading, Edward then followed behind. I followed behind Edward and Tuan behind me. But since Tuan was so slow, I had to slow down so much in order for him to not be lost. I got there perfectly fine though. We all met up at Denny's and got our own separate room. Sweet!
     Since Sharon and I didn't have any money, we kind of sat there and chatted with each other while trying to withstand the temptation of food. Everyone was basically high off of sleep. It was fun while it lasted. We stayed at Denny's till 2 AM!
     I then dropped off Sharon, then went home. I almost immediately KO'd when I got home.

Today:
     4 hours of sleep+Cotillion Practice. It was fun today, but not a lot of people showed up. After that, I met up with Jenann and Kat and we carpooled together to the Boiling Crab. The wait was 2 hours! Ughh. Kim, Anthony, Tiffany, Kjn, Jen, Ben, Alex, Jenann, Kat and I just chilled outside for about an hour or so waiting for Jen's friends to come. When they came, we then decided on where to eat at.
     Red Lobster! This was my second time going. My first time was when I went on a date with Daniel. I ordered the Crab Alfredo. It was pretty good! They also gave us bread, which was absolutely amazing. I couldn't stop eating it!
     Luncheon was fun. Its definitely amazing on how different we all are now. We're constantly changing and growing up! It's only in a matter of time when we all go our separate ways once again for college. I love my karate family! Absolutely love.
     When I got home, I did some stuff for my grandma, then KO'd on the bed. I slept till 8! Lol. When I woke up, I got one more reading article done. Now I'm trying to stall as much as possible. I'm not that sleepy right now, so maybe I'll do as much HW as possible by tomorrow. Blah! Hungry is overcoming me, but I must prevail! (12:43AM)

P.S. There were some pretty dodgy photos of me online, so I untagged myself. Sorry fellas! I untagged most of the pics where I had my hands on my hip. Whatcaniay? It's my favorite pose? Haha.
