Only because I'm out of town. More specifically, Arnold, California. I thought this place was closer to Nevada/Washington. Like, THAT much up north, but in fact, it's actually close to the Stockon area I believe. Anyways. I gotta catch up on my days away.


Day 1-12/18/10
    I woke up and packed. Went to cousin's house to pick up some snow gear. Cleaned momma's car. Shian came over so we talked for a bit, packed the car and headed to get gas and some tapx. Met Kenny, Vince, Xander, Darren, and Albert at Albert's house. 
     Pleasanton bound to pick up Crystal and Vienna. Xander and the 4 girls were in one car while Darren drove the rest of the guys. We followed Albert's family on the way up there. Fun ride up! 
     When we got there, we settled down for a bit then headed to the rec center while Albert's parents cooked us an asian dinner. There's a Sauna, hot tub, swimming pool, pool table, flat screen TV, basketball court and wifi in here! Keke. 
     I had soup and rice for dinner. Vegetarian Dinner win! Lol. We all went swimming afterwards. Crystal is such a beast! Pics up later?
     When we went back to the apartment, we just showered, chilled and talked for a bit then BED. The girls all shared one room. It was nice. We ended up talking till about 1 in the morning. 


Day 2-12/19/10
     We all woke up around 8:30. We had some breakfast and said 'bye' to albert's parents. They're so cool! Lol. Then we went to the National park for a hike. Yeah.. I was so smart that I didn't bring any snow boots. I ended up wearing my blue canvas shoes. My feet were so cold! I felt like it was frozed solid. I was scared that I'd get frostbite, but I was reassured that I wasn't going to have to do that. Yes! Lol. It was a nice, pretty, fun hike. So many... Trees... I ended up getting blisters on my feet, that I didn't feel till after my feet melted a bit. Nastyy. 
     After, I believe we just went to rec center to use the internet/swim/play pool/basketball. We watched a Knight's Tale, but ended up not finishing and going to bed early. We, the girls, talked until 2 that night.


Day 3-12/20/10
     Woke up at 7... FRESH POWDER out the window! It was so beautiful. Got ready, made lunch and didn't leave till 10... We went back in town to rent snow gear, get snow chains (which we ended up not using) and buying lift tickets. By the time we finished and headed to Bear Valley, it was about 2:30, which sucked because the resort closed at 4. So we just boarded on the side for a bit. Such a friggen workout! The ride up was absolutely beautiful though. I felt like I was in Narnia. Keke.
     When we got home, we made pizza for dinner. Nom nom! I don't remember what else we did besides talk. We all decided to sleep early and wake up early to have a full day of boarding/skiing. 


Day 4- 12/21/10
     Woke up at 7, got ready and headed out by 9:00. We got there around 9:30. Yesh! Boarding is so much fun! I wiped out so many times on the bunny slopes. Not gonna lie, but I really need to work on my turns and stay on my dominant side. Also... getting of the lift.. Yeahh. Lol! So Xander, Crystal, Albert, Shian, Darren and I all went down the slopes a bunch of times. Towards our last run before lunch, everyone except Vienna, Shian and I went on the blue slopes. 
     Spam Masubi for dinner! Rice Musubi for me actually. Nom nom. It was flavorless, but filling. We chilled for a bit and dried off.
     On round 2, Vince went in place of Xander. Vienna called quits for the day. Shian, Vince and I went on Bunny slopes for a while. On our last run, Vince and I went on the Blue slopes. It was so scary! All the trails around us were either black or double black... We found a map and decided to go on one blue trail, but it was so cold and snowy that we were forced to turn back around a choose a different path. The ride down wasn't too bad... Vince felll so many times that his skis came loose. That's so baddd. If I get more practice, I'll be able to do blues more better.. eventually. So much fun though. 
     On our ride back, we returned our stuff and went back  to the apartment for some dino nuggets for dinner. Yum! Darren, Vince, Vienna, and Crystal got ready to go home. Tearrr. They didn't go home till 7:30. It's so quiet now!
     We all ended up sleeping together in the living room. We fell asleep to You, Me and Dupree. 


 Day 5-12/22/10
     Such a chill day today. We woke up naturally today and had pasta for lunch. Lol. We didn't leave the apartment till 1. We went to Angels Camp today and into all the Antique shops. After, we bought tickets to TRON. Hell cheap! it was $8.50!! While we waited, we went to eat some ice cream.
     TRON was a good movie, in my opinion. We didn't finish till 6. We went back to the apartment and had pizza for dinner. Now we're in the rec center again. I finally got my blogging done and over with!
     ONE MORE DAY until I get to go home!!! I'm gonna miss this place. It's so beautiful here. OMG. I'm so sore. Sore all over my body. Mehhh. One more day! I think we're leaving at 10 the latest. We'll be back in town by lunchish? I'm exciteddd

We all take that big step in life; determining our futures and showing that we've grown on to becoming more of an adult.


I wish I am able to be there for your first day of your new life.. All I wish for is for you to walk out proudly and to be free for once. Finally, you're getting the freedom you deserve

I woke up at 8, got ready, went over to Darren's to pick up stuff. Came home, ate breakfast and waited for everyone to come

Once Patty, Daniel, Jessica Lim, and Clare showed up, we ventured off to SF. My first time DRIVING there. Super scary, but still fun. 

First stop: Westfield mall. Didn't do much besides walk around. 

Second stop: Japan town! Lunch at this one place. Shopping at New People. FATLACE!

Third stop: Pier 39 to stalk some bracelet making people. We were unable to find the right one.. Boo! It's all good though


Super fun day. Hella tiring though. Everyone KO'd on the way home. Traffic sucks, didn't get home till 4... Sorry Pats! When I got home, I packed my car with my tools and headed over to Nick's to bake with his momma


Fun fun. She likes my piping skills. Lol! I stayed until 6:40ish. Went home, dropped off my stuff, then went to MHS to meet up with everyone else.


Ami, Darren, Wilson, Akash, Erie, Alex N, Elizabeth Ho, Julia, Maggie, Albert, and Vince all came. XMAS IN THE PARKS! It was fun chilling with everyone. Cold night though. We saw Sharon! Alan also met up with us. So yeahh, we walked around and loitered everywhere. 


I got to bond with Erie more <3. Super fun night. I didn't get home till 11ish. 


I'M SO TIRED. I need to get ready for bed now So I can bake in the morning. Night!

Yesterday was so much fun! 

For t1c, we all went out to bowl. I think the head count was about 20. I met a few new people, some where... Lisa, Andrea, Josh, Vance, & Austin (?). Lol. 

So we went in to bowl. I paid for the boyfriend :D. Once we got settled in, Quickly's run with Eranthe, Alex N, and Vance. Mmm Calimari.

Apres, we went back to the alleys, and got ready to bowl. Babe got me about a 67 or so on the 6/7th frame. Not baddd. It was a rough warm up, but the second round was much better. 97! So close to breaking 100. I'm always SO CLOSE! BOO. Lol. It's fun chilling with a bunch of people though. 

After that, we chilled for a bit, then all headed out for a photoshoot. Thanks Bob! So much fun. We took so many pictures. I think I'm gonna like the jumping ones the most. Or maybe the one with Jocelyn, Erie and I.

IN N OUT afterwards. Babe races his supra against Erie's Accord. Of course, the supra won. It was fun still though. Once everyone got there, we all ate food, chatted, chilled. The usual. Then we decided to go on a mountain run, so we met up at Golfland, then moved to Brian's house. 

The guys decided to take 4 cars, some left to go home, and some partnered up. So we all drove off to Old Calaveras, but Bob and Babe went towards Sierra, which I guess was the wrong was. We had to finish that run though. 

Met back up with everyone at the gas station, the redid the run. It was so curvy! I was scared that if I took my eyes off of the road, I'd get carsick. It was fun though. 1 drift from Klassic. Erie was having fun in our car. Lol!

After the mountain run, it was about 2 AM. We chilled, went back to Brian's, then all dispersed and went home.

Fun night. I can't say it was necessarily safe... but it was still fun.

Just because you and your gf aren't together doesn't mean you should rip apart my relationship. Shit dude. Yeah, I'll give you sympathy points, but you never once did that to me. That's why whenever you ask about my relationship, my response now on will be "We're good". You don't need to know any detail in it, only because I'm tired of hearing you shit talk my bf. 

We're supposed to be close. But I just feel so distant. When I try to talk to you, I feel as though you're putting me down with your harsh words. I ignore it, but you can only ignore stuff for so long. I don't feel like I can talk to you. Your judgement towards people always clouds mines, and I have a knack for clouded judgement. You're my friend and I'll always be there for you, but I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to talk about people. I feel like that's all we ever do. Talk about people. It's driving me insane knowing that 90% of the time, it's not always good things. I honestly can't stand it. I'm trying to be a better person, but talking to you, it's just dragging me back down that path. Either you start it, I start it, or someone else starts it. 

I don't know what to do anymore. You're a good person, with a good heart. I know that. But you're just too negative sometimes that I can't stand it. I can't be a positive person around you because you'll rip me to shreds. And of course, going back to this infamous issue.. I know you don't intentionally do it. But I feel brainless talking, or even hanging out, with you. It's just.. your tone of voice. It's not friendly, it's more degrading than anything. When I boost my confidence up by 1, you lower it by 2. You always managed to do that. 

Is so weird! It wouldn't let me log in and post stuff. Grr. But now I can finally blog

It's finals week! Not much blogging will occur during those days..

So today, Darren, Kenny and I went to the San Jose Holiday Parade. This is the last one ever! Tear. I actually attended as a spectator instead of a performer for once, so that was nice. We went from 4th street all the way to the beginning of the parade. So much walking! Lol. There were some really great floats and performances. I'm so jealous of the other bands. They get to dance and put tinsel on their instruments. Kaldy didn't even let the marching band this year wear santa hats. Lame! Yeah.. 
     After about 50 floats/performances/bands, the MHS marching band finally arrived. I saw my brother! He's so funny looking. We decided to follow the band throughout their route. That was a lot of fun. Running, running, then stopping to snap some shots. Then more running and more shooting. Lol! When they finished, we ran to them to catch up. I finally found my brother after a frantic search for him (not really, he was just in the bus) and I got DJ to take a pic of us for me with my polaroid. My brother looks so funny.
     After that, we just walked back towards SJSU. We ended up going to La Vics for lunch. I'm such a baller. I used up my cash so now I only have about 50 cents in my wallet. We all walked to my car, and I dropped off Kenny at his dorms. Then I drove Darren home and now I'm home as well.


     I'm thinking of making some cute gingerbread cookies. But I'm not sure.. Actually, I probably will. I need to buy some gingerbread cut outs! I also need icing and stuff, which I'll need to make as well. Okays. Time to shop!
