Yesterday was the Jack's Mannequin and The Fray concert! So Saturday morning, I had to wake up early to go to work around 9 AM. I got there at 9 and kinda did nothing because Allan Dale wasn't there. I kinda cleaned and reorganized stuff, but that's mainly it. When Allan Dale came, we just talked about stuff. It was a good chat. Classes weren't that bad. I don't remember much but yea. Lol. It ended around 1 PM. I felt like SOMEONE was complaining too much because she didn't have to work that day and yet the phone was ringing, so I had to pick it up. Even though you're not working, can you at least pick up the phone? It's not that hard, and plus, it's what you do anyways when you DO work. After the adults class, she was helping some people out with merchandise I think and she was cleaning up ready to go when there was a parent standing there waiting to get some help so I kinda was like, "Hey sir, do you need help with anything?" and he's like, "Yes, I want to know how much it'll cost, etc." and I was like O, Mariah? And she totally was like *sigh* -_- Pout. Kinda thing. I mean, if you're not gonna work, then don't show up, especially in your uniform. Plus you can't expect Allan Dale and I to know all this stuff especially if we're strictly on the floor.
 Anyways, enough of that sad stuff. I went home, cleaned a little and got ready for the concert. I had so much time left so I went to sleep for a little, then Kenny showed up first and Darren came like half and hour later. So after Darren came, we took off in my car and went to Subway. After Subway, we went back to Darren's place for some refreshments and we were on our way.
 Friken Darren scared me like a million times while I was driving. I made so many lane changes even though I didn't have to because it merged anyways. Lol. Funny. When we got there, parking was quick and fast, and then we walked to the ampitheather. When we got there and in, we immediately went to buy some shrits. The wait in line felt like forever! It was hecka slow! But we made it eventually. I bought a black "The Fray" shirt with concert dates on the back and a dark blue "Jack's Mannequin" shirt. Kenny bought this really nice "Jack's Mannequin" jacket. I'm so jealous, it looks hecka nice. After that, we walked around and found our seats. We sit pretty close!! :] The guest band was Vedera! Kenny's in love with the lead singer. Lol. It's hecka funny. She's pretty good actually. I need to look her up.
 After Vedera, we just chilled for a bit. Kenny and I made a bet to see which band is opening next. I said Jack's Mannequin but Kenny thought that The Fray was gonna go. During that time, I was texting Jenann with Darren's phone because she was there also! She said that Jack's Mannequin was gonna go up next. Who ever lost the bet, the other person has to be their slave for a day during band camp. In the end, I of course won. Kenny's gonna be my SLAVE! YESH. Anyways, Jack's Mannequin has so much energy performing. It was pretty good! I didn't know all of the songs, but I sang along to a few of them. I took hecka pics thanks to my amazing camera.
 When Jack's Mannequin was finished, Jenann and I met up for a little and chilled and stuff. I brought her over to our place and then she had to leave. By then, The Fray was about to begin. They had everything set up. Kenny had pretty good seats! Next to 2 girls, who looked bored the whole concert. Lol. The Fray was alright. I expected more introduction to the songs than constant singing. They kept singing and singing. But yea, not bad. I have to say that after that No Doubt concert, my expectations are pretty high now. But yea, the main focus on that concert is to just spend time with Darren and Kenny and Wilson's spirit. Every minute spent with you guys are unredeamable, I will cherish every moment of it. After the concert, Kenny wanted to buy A Fray shirt, so we waited in lines again, which took forever, but we good the goods we were waiting for. It was worth the wait.
We then took some last minute pics of the Ampitheater and walked to the parking lot. Getting home wasn't that bad. I'm glad Darren was there to guide me. Stupid elephant's memory... When we got back to Milpitas, we didn't want to go home just yet so Darren called Albert and asked if we could come over, which we did. We talked/messed around for 45 minutes. It was fun. We left around 12:45 AM and I took them back to my place as they left. That was a pretty fun night!
I miss Wilson! I think we all do! Weesonaa I can't wait till you come back! Don't forget to TOKBOX with us!

Why are you such a bitch about everything? Honestly, I believe that the world doesn't revolve around YOU, it revolves around the sun. Stop thinking that everybody is out to get you and stop attacking your best friend for it. How can one person do so much damage to another? Do you feel satisfied that you're ruining another's life just for your satisfaction? Get over yourself, seriously. I say the things I say because I don't care what others think. If you choose to hate me for it, then fuck you too. But seriously? Your best friend. The one who stuck by you when the world walked out. He was there through thick and thin, he didn't always agree on everything but he just wanted to see you happy. HAPPY, and you can't even spare him a life for that? You're not his girlfriend so get over yourself. He can talk to whoever he wants to and trust me, he deserves it, not this shit that you put onto him. Do you honestly for one second actually THINK that he's purposly trying to make you jealous? Can't he live his life without worrying about you? He doesn't deserve this shit and if you wont talk to him about it then that's your fault. Your loss at an absolutely wonderful friendship. And honestly, you rarely find people like him so you should be LUCKY to even have him as your friend, let alone having him care for you. Lucky. Seriously, you don't deserve his friendship. You have caused so much pain to him you don't even know. It's unbearable seeing him in this state of mind but I'm actually his friend. I'll say what I have to say, no matter how harsh it is, and if I cross the line I hope he tells me because I'm not afraid to face my flaws.
Yes, I might not have all my facts straight, but look who's talking, you don't either. At least I admit it, and he does too. Look in the mirror for once and find all the flaws about you because no one is perfect. It may not be my business to say anything, but when it hurts my friend then I'll step in. If you have something to say to me, then say it, yell at me. See the fuck if I care. Don't go harassing your friends about it because I'm pretty sure they're sick of hearing your annoying drama.
You say that you're over it, but honestly are you? No you're not because you go and block him. Who the fuck does that? Seriously. If you are honestly over it and if you're honestly MATURE then we wouldn't be in this situation. But no, you're not mature, in fact, I'll just say it. You are an Immature little child who wants everything the way that you want. Honestly, tell me, how does it feel to make someone feel shittier than dirt? To make someone actually CONSIDER giving up their life? You might find entertainment from it, but once it happens what now? You're at fault for everthing. EVERYTHING. I can't believe that you got mad at your best friend for something so LITTLE as this. It's actually ridiculous and you shouldn't even attack him for it. Remember, you are a seriously lucky person, stop taking advantage of everything in your life because one day, all of your friends will leave your side if you keep up your fucking personality. GET OVER IT. bitch

 I don't even remember sleeping that morning. I just layed down on the couch and closed my eyes. Lol. The next thing I knew, I was awake and it was around 10 AM. About 10:30 was when everyone was awake and I began making pancakes for breakfast. We watched 'How I Met Your Mother' in the mean time. It's hecka funny. We ate brunch about 11:30 I think. Yum pancakes. Basically the whole day, we watched the rest of 'How I Met Your Mother'.
 OMG I look like I have a double chin.. When that was finished, we pulled out the board games and played one game of Cranium (guys vs. girls; girls won of course) and a few rounds of Scattergories. Hecka fun. Lol. Dinh didn't know the Kung Fu Fighting song! LMAO. We finished by 6 or 7, packed up our belongings and cleaned up our mess. I think we left around 7 or 8, I'm not really sure. The car was pretty packed when we left and we headed off to International Cuisine to visit Fadi and Kristen but the weren't working today. Instead, we just wrote them a thank you note and signed it. Afterwards, we were back on the road to finish our trip with some Sonic. It was about a 45 minute drive until we reached there, but before, the navigator got us lost and we were driving in the ghetto residential area. I was seriously scared that someone was going to drive up next to us and shoot us. I have a phobia of that. Eventually (thanks to Darren's GPS on his phone) we found our way to Sonic, which was kinda in the middle of nowhere. We ended our day with a delicious dinner. Totally filling and fun, it was the first time I've been there. It was a 45 minute drive home and Darren dropped off Dinh and Angela first, then Albert, Wilson, then finally me. I told Darren that I was glad that we didn't have ANY drama at all whatsoever and he said, "Of course, we're like family. Plus we don't stoop that low." I'm glad that I went on this trip. This was a trip of the summer. I'm glad I went with these people because we're easily persuaded and entertained. No one had anything against what each of us wanted such as going somewhere or eating or anything, we all just agreed, no arguments. Even though I wasn't as close to Dinh or Angela, it was just like we were friends to begin with. I'm thankful that Albert planned this trip while his parents agreed to it. I'm glad that Darren volunteered to drive. We all cracked jokes to each other, calling each other fat, making fun of the random things Dinh did at night, Angela's sleep talking, my snoring, Wilson going "MORNING WOOD", etc. It was just an enjoyable time. If there ever was another trip like this, I'd definately take it and for those of you who didn't go, next go! Seriously!

Yay! I get to blog about my day before the next day starts.
We all woke up around 9 because Albert wanted to take us jogging and out for brunch. We kinda were still tired from the day before and Angela convinced him to not jog. Yes! We ended up leaving the house around 10 or 10:30 and walked to The First Awakening which is a brunch place. We saw so many dogs, poor Dinh, she's terribly frightened by dogs. As we were walking we played a lot of games to pass the time. It felt so fast! When we got there, we just told them how many people and they told us to come back in 15 minutes. We didn't really have anything to do so we just ended up looking around the shopping area where it was located at. We ended up going to this candy store. OMG candy galore. We spent about 10 minutes there. Darren, Wilson and I ended up buying sour candy together. Yay! When we went back to the restaurant, we had to wait a few more minutes so I just kinda sat on this truck toy thingy...  Anyways, after we got seated and comfortable we ordered our food and enjoyed brunch. It seriously was really good. I didn't have any money left, well enough to pay for my brunch so Albert spotted me, good thing I got something hecka cheap! (Two Eggs; 2 sunny side up eggs + extra crispy potatoe cubes + english muffins = $7)
 After brunch, we walked around Canary Row to look for more candy shops. We went into about 3 and then we went to the beach to walk on the sand. It was really nice, the guys started to skip rocks. Dorks. LOL. After about 5 minutes on the beach, we went back to the dock and watched this guy spray paint. It was seriously Amazing! He used raw materials to use as stencils. Wow, I really wanted to get something for Allan Dale but I didn't have enough cash. Next time, right guys? They said that we should do a day trip next time. Yay! So anyways, we decided to head back to make dinner. It took a little bit longer because most of us were in pain (our feet) or we were tired.
 When we reached home, we rested for a bit and then started making dinner. Albert grilled the patties while Dinh made fried rice. I cut all the fruits for the fruit salad and also attempted to make nacho cheese. It totally did not come out correctly. Bleh. After everything was made we packed the car and headed out to Carmel-By-The-Sea. I sat in the back and slept for a little. Bad idea, I got hecka carsick. Ughh.
 When we arrived, we walked around the city for a little bit. It reminds me of a Santana Row. Seriously nice houses! After a while of walking, we got everything out of the car and went to the beach to find a spot. Albert and Angela went off to see if there were any bonfire spots but the came back and told us that it was on the other side of the beach so we had to pack the car and drive to the other side of the beach. Nice houses once again. I want to move to Monterey to get a beach house! So yea, we got out and found a spot on the beach. We set up everything and Wilson started to dig a hole for the bonfire. Dinner was really good. I also lit my first match today! Successfully too! Darren recorded it. Lol. Since we didn't have much fire wood, we immediately began the s'more making when the fire was at a good level. S'more making was so fun and delicious. It made us bond even more. We took so many pics. After a while, we minus Dinh decided to go to the water to walk around and take pics. We played the 'How deep can you go' game. First we let the waves hit our feet for a little bit, then we go in 5 steps deeper and we keep doing it until someone backs out. It's seriously hard because the water was FREEZING cold! I lost first of course in the end they all agreed to get out. Lol. When we went back to our site, we packed up everything because the fire was dying out. At the last minute, Albert pulled out his sparklers and we played for it for a while. Lol. Fun. After those died out, we killed the fire and packed up the car.
 We got kinda lost on the way home but we made it. After we got home, we just relaxed a bit and then went into the jacuzzi. Dinh didn't go because she already showered but yea. The Jacuzzi was nice and relaxing. We talked about Sleep walking/talking and dreams in general. It was kinda creepy. After we showered off, we watched 'How I Met Your Mother' and had hot cocoa. It's pretty funny. But yea. Byee!
-Banhzaii
Angela: It's too long.
Darren: Haha, what did she say? :]
 We slept pretty late today, like around 2 AM. I slept pretty soundly but Dinh had her really funny moments. Someone prank called Dinh and she kept saying "hello?" and then all of a sudden she said "Fucking Bitch!" and hung up. It was pretty funny I might admit. Another thing she did was get out of bed to use the bathroom and once she jumped off she totally lost her balance for a little bit and retained balance back. When she came back from the bathroom, she totally hit her head on the headboard. It was hecka funny. So I woke up around 10; Darren and Albert were already awake. It wasn't long before everyone woke up.
 After everyone woke up, we immediately began to make breakfast. Darren cooked omlette for us while Dinh and I chopped up the filling for everyone else. It was funny because when we were making Wilson's omlette, Dinh cracked the egg and the egg still had blood IN it! Haha. It had it's period. We tried to get out as much blood as possible but there was still one speck of blood left. Darren tried to cook it as long as possible. Breakfast was really good though. Yay!
After breakfast, we all god ready and headed out to walk on the scenic route near the beach. It was fun. Saw a lot of flies and some hermit crabs. We accidentally saw a couple making out. Gross... So we walked for a hecka long time, but we finally made it to the Aquarium.  At the Monterey Bay Aquarium we saw every exhibit. My favorite I must say are the Jellyfish. Jellyfish is my now favorite sea creature. It's so beautiful and it was also featured in Seven Pounds. I think I want a pet jellyfish too. So after the aquarium, we headed back to the lodge, but Albert got a call from Kristen! LMAO. She just got out of work and we were heading that way so we met up with her. Right when we arrived, she was in her car leaving. It was funny because she hecka ran over a curb but she didn't see us so she totally left. I had to call her and she came back for Albert. She also made an illegal U-turn that we all saw. Haha. Dork. So yea, we left her and Albert together so she can drive Albert back. We just walked and played games on the way back. It passed the time really quickly.
 When we got back, Albert was already starting on the dinner. Kristen stayed to join us but she didn't eat anything. We had hotdog and chicken with rice. Very tasty, Kudos to Albert! After our super filling dinner, we got ready and headed out for our tour that Kristen said she'd take us. Albert went in her car and everyone else went into Darren's. We went to Canary Row which is like a Santana Row for us. It was nice, we had some frozen yogurt from Myo and ice cream from Ghiradelli. Yum, she just showed us around for a little bit more and then we went out seperate ways. We stopped by Nob Hill before we left to buy logs and stuff for the fire pit/bonfire (banhfire). We came back home and immediately jumped into the jacuzzi. It felt so good yet so hot and suffocating. Really relaxing though. After a while of chilling in the hot tub we started to leave one by one to shower. When we all finished showering, we went back into the living room and began the games. We had chips, salsa and popcorn with tea to end the night hunger. Our first game was Hoopla. It's pretty fun if you know what you're doing and you're moving fast. Lol. Our second game was Battle of the Sexes. I think that game was from centuries ago because there were a lot of people named and most of us didn't know them. But the girls were victorious in the end! Yes! Our last and final game of the night was Life. Wow, Wilson seriously got lucky because he got the entertainer job and got the highest paying salary. In the end though, Angela made the most money, friken accountant. Lol. I just made a million too, perfect.
 After the games, it was time to sleep so we pushed back the couches in the living room and put blankets on the ground as padding. Angela and Dinh took the couches while the rest of us slept tetris style on the floor. It was a good sleep I must say, although we slept pretty late.
Thank you Albert for planning this get together for us. It was really considerate and nice. Yay! No drama! Pictures up later.

So today, Darren came over to pick me up around 9:30 but my sister took my car so we had to wait for her to come home so I could get my stuff from my car. We waited hecka long so we decided to go to Wilson's to pick him up then we came back home. My sister finally showed up though. Finally. Lol. So yea we showed up about an hour late. SORRY ALBERT don't kill me. I felt so bad, I brought him a cantaloupe! So we left a couple minutes later and we were on our way to Monterey.
 So at Monterey we immediately got comfortable in our lodge. It's small but it's nice and cozy. Like a mini home. So after we got settled in, we got ready to head out for some lunch. We had to choose between Thai Paradise or International Cuisine but since Albert met a girl from Drum Major camp who works at International Cuisine, we chose to go there instead. So we decided to walk there and everything. Once we got to the restaurant area, Albert was like "Let's go in there guys, I've been there before". But we were like "Noo we need to find International Cuisine".
 Ironically enough, the restaurant Albert chose WAS International Cuisine. We stayed there for about an hour and a half. The service was great. We were immediately greeted with friendliness. We ordered a family New Yorker pizza, Lasagna and 4 cheese ravioli. Yum. After the pizza arrive, Albert's friend, Kristen, arrived. She's really nice and funny. Go Albert! Haha. So after lunch, we decided to go grocery shopping. We took a scenic route to Nob Hill. After we bought all our ingredients and stuff, I got free matches from the cashier because I was 18. Yeayuhh! Haha. So we left for about a minute and we came back because our bag ripped and it cracked the salsa container. Bleh. We got a brand new salsa free of charge though. Yay!
 After Nob Hill, we walked back home. Lunch was really enjoyable. When we got back to the lodge, we chilled and watched some youtube. Haha. We're such dorks. We then decided to watch Apocalypto. Omg. That movie is so random and so gory... After the movie it was dinner time so Dinh and Angela made spaghetti for us to eat.
 I pre popped popcorn and seasoned it while setting up the fruit salad. Yum watermelons and cantaloupe. We all pitched in with dinner all together, but Dinh and Angela did the most. Thank you! It tasted so good! After our wonderful dinner, we just watched Chronicals of Narnia and now I'm here. Not much to do at this time.. Its 1:47 AM and we're all half awake plus watching CSI plus doing random stuff. Haha. Maybe I'll upload pics later.

I'm so excited for this Monterey Trip! I don't know what to expect. I'm gonna leave Milpitas with yet another mindset of Fun. I'm really hoping to enjoy myself out there, away from all the stress and drama and just have a good time. I am speechless for this trip, I just hope I don't forget anything. Monterey Here We Come!

I love KIKAY!
Today was a semi-not-so-really productive day. I began by finally starting on the New Moon book my auntie let me borrow. Not bad I must say. I spent the day going to TK Noodles, Lions, and Lowes with the family to buy some flowers for that garden I never started on but I said I would've. My dad beat me to it. After I got home from Lowes, I just chilled for a bit, then around 2, my sister wanted to go get our eyebrows threaded so I drove to this place on mainstreet. Omg, my eyebrows look so pretty! I think I look different now. After I came home from eyebrow threading, I decided to clean my room while watching Grey's Anatomy. My sister found the CD! Yes! I watched about 2 episodes. I clean part of my room, but I ended up packing for the trip tomarrow. I want to be extra sure that I have everything. After Grey's I went and ate some steak. Omg, so delicious, I swear that I'm getting fatter. Bleh.
So I talked to Allyson today. We got everything cleared and now everything is fine. But what I don't understand is that you say you like me, you want to be with me, you'd rather get hurt than to give up. But how can you say that with a straight face when you know that you're lying. You know you went up to me and said, "I want to spend a whole day with you doing whatever" and I replied, "You know, if this happens, I can't guarantee anything". You know you asked me first, you initiated it, but why would you go tell someone that I was the one who asked you to hang out. Is it so you can make yourself seem like a better person? Give someone a "better impression" of you? You know, if you never lied, you wouldn't need to make an impression on anyone. You should know that your friends love you for who are, not who you want to be. I told you this before and I'll say it again. If you keep lying, I don't know if I can be your friend anymore. I want to be friends with someone who I can trust, and if I can't trust you then I don't know what to say. I want to trust you, but when I do, I find out that your lying once again. You should know that your friends are a close bunch and when you lie, people find out the truth. Word spreads fast. I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. Remember, your friends love you for who you are, that's why they are your friends. If my message isn't any clearer to you then remember what I warned you about. I want to have friends who I can trust. And if this help you get over me and actually go look for someone ten times better than I am, then so be it.
Check out more photos here!
 OMG That concert was absolutely AMAZING! We started off by going to Subway. I think it'll be our own tradition. Yum. There was a lot of traffic by the time we hit the Shoreline exit but we made it just in time for The Sounds to begin. While they were performing, we were waiting in line to buy shirts. Omg $35 per shirt. Bleh, Oh well, I bought a No Doubt and a Paramore shirt. $70!! Woot. Haha. Jk. So yea, we didn't get a good spot on the lawn but it was sort of in the middle. Good thing I brought super awesome camera! It was just as if we were RIGHT there.
 So yea, The Sounds wasn't that bad. Pretty good, maybe I'll check them out eventually. So yea, after The Sounds, we just enjoyed our meal of Subway and some cookies + Fruit by the foot. I was so excited when Paramore came on. I started screaming like crazy! I'm so glad I did my research on Paramore! She sang the new song Ignorance! YEA! I felt so powerful because I felt like I was the only one who knew it... Around my area. Anyways, Paramore was absolutely amazing. I love Hayley's Voice! It's beautiful. Haha. I knew all of the songs except for one, I'm pretty sure it's on her new album. But yea. Pretty good pics huh? Lol. Anyways, Paramore is Hecka Good Live! They're friken Crazy! During the intermission, they have those screens up and you can text it and stuff so Kristine texted "Hayley! Impregnate me!" or something like that, I forgot. Funny.
So when No Doubt went on, it was crazy! Gwen is hecka good live! They seriously know how to pump up the crowd and rock the stage. I do wish I researched more No Doubt though, I only knew the chorus to some of the more popular songs. But it's alright. I had an enjoyable time with Kristine, Her sister Karen, and her cousin Abby. Plus her older cousin Markie who was our chauffeur and body guard. Lol. Good Times. The concert ended around 11:10 and we left by 12. So yea, I'm here now telling my awesome story of the concert. I'm totally excited for The Fray and Jack's Mannequin Concert. Major Research to do! Click on Pictures for more!
