A look into Jessica's life

got some good news last night. yesterday i went back to brecht bmw to exchange dad's shirt and larry was there. so i got to talk to him for a bit. he said that they might have good news really soon. cristen had gone to the doctor's on monday and they were suppose to get the results today. while on her lunch break cristen found out that she was indeed pregnant. whooo hoo. they had been trying since they got married to start their family. so, last night mom and i went to ross and went to eat at oscar's in mira mesa. all of a sudden my phone rings and it was jac..she asked me where i was and i told her at oscar's. she said that i was bad..when i asked her why she said that cristen and larry were at the house. so mom and i rushed home. they came over to tell me that they had gotten the results. they had gone to her parents' house to tell them that they are going to be grandparents. while they were there larry remembered that he had seen me and told cristen and since they were in poway they decided to come by and tell me personally. so congrats!!!

well school is winding down. next thursday is my last day of school. i found out that i have about a week's worth of vacation available at work. so i was thinking of maybe taking advantage of it during this 3 week break before fall semester since my last 2 semesters are going to be really compacted and tough. since joy is quitting her job on the 16th i thought maybe we could go away for a couple of days. i told rose about that and she told me to keep her posted because she was thinking of taking arianna to the bay area during break since her dad lives in oakland. maybe the 4 of us can go and chill for the couple of days. that would be cool.

we'll see.

so here we are...a week later and not too much has happened..or to me, not a lot has happened

monday:
i was too damn tired to go to school. so i didn't.

tuesday:
rose and i decided to ditch class. we got to the campus and were in the parking lot when we decided that we just didn't want to be there. we went to breakfast at IHOP on restaurant row. that was cool. we just talked. i don't think that rose and i have ever talked like we did today. it's kinda cool. i got to see a part of rose's life that i didn't know about. then we went to north county fair. we walked around for a bit. then we went to borders to attempt to study but instead ended up talking some more. this morning we ditched school and home. we couldn't go home until normal time so that's why we went to the mall and borders after breakfast.

wednesday:
we had a test in class. hopefully i did ok. i guess we'll just have to wait and see.

thursday:
i came home from work not feeling well. i was switching from hot and cold really quickly. sometimes i was sweating but feeling cold. gaylene was telling me that i felt hot each time she bumped into me..so i didn't go to school. i was not feeling it. so i called rose and told her how i felt. we were suppose to meet after school to work on our story rewrite for class. i told her that i would meet up with them after school to work on it. i just needed to rest first. rose called and said that no one from our group, except for her, went to class. so we decided that we would just meet after school somewhere down here. we met up at barnes and noble in mira mesa. i got to meet the infamous Arianna. she is cute. she got there and went to see some books and came back with a book about the 50 states and the english dictionary..what is that? the girl is only 7yrs old and those were the books that SHE chose. rose was with me at the table the whole time. later on she got a book about the presidents of the us...oh boy.
we wrote the story of rumpelstilskin (sp?). it was sooo funny. you could see some bitterness that rose has when she was deciding how we should portray the story. it was funny.
today is dad's 53rd bday. so after my writing session with rose i went to jamba juice to talk to jac about what to get him and where to take him for dinner. after a while we finally agreed on getting him bmw shirts from brecht bmw and taking him to todai, since his meal would be free. so i went bmw and got him 2 polos and got myself a shirt too. i have to exchange 1 of his shirts for another color. that's better than normal, usually it's for a whole new gift in general. uncle mon, auntie marie, nikki, mom, jac, me and dad went to todai. that was cool. MMMAANNN!!!! dad, uncle mon. auntie marie, and nikki had a couple of plates each of king crab legs and crab claws and other shelled seafood. at one point nikki cracked a claw and shot jac the shell..that was funny.
after dinner we went to inang and lolo's house. we went to see lolo. he got out of the hospital on tuesday. he was still wearing his id bracelet from the hospital. since we didn't have a cake for dad we had him cut the id bracelet off instead. uncle mon took a picture of it.

friday:
had mellvin today. we went to san ysidro and got naning then the 3 of us went to horton plaza to watch the powerpuff girls movie. that was sooo damn retarded. it basically was an hour and half pilot episode. it just explained how the ppg were made, how mojojojo was made, how he got his lair, and how the ppg became the heros of townsville. you can get most of that from the opening credits of the cartoon. it sucked soooo bad that mellvin began asking me if he could go home. you know it's that bad if they ask to go home. so after the movie we went to eat hot dogs at this place next to the theatre. mellvin kept walking off trying to follow the birds as they flew around. if not that, he was walking to open gated areas to see the people walking on the lower levels below him. what a dork. as we went to leave we happened to pass the hot dog on a stick stand and mellvin saw the claw animals and wanted one. it took naning and i to finally drag him away. we started walking down a set of stairs and naning and i felt our arms being pulled behind us. we turned around and found mellvin faced down on the stairs. he was protesting us not letting him get the animal. such a funny character.

saturday:
i got a bike today. it's an eddie baur bike. it's cool. the gear shift is on the handle. everyone who tried it today likes it. it's normally like almost $200 but i got it for $25. it was returned but it works fine so it was put on clearance. that's cool.

we celebrated dad's bday again. this time with the family. inang and lolo didn't come though. it was ok. nothing big.

so to continue where i left off. we just hung out at nikki's watching reg, john, naning, and juni playing cards. and they were betting push ups. it was funny to watch juni and john square off. juni leaves for westpac today. he'll be gone for 6 months. poor nikki. she'll be alone. but it'll be quite the test for them. i'm sure all will be well for them.

i had to take inang back to the hospital to bring lolo food and for her to get her stuff after auntie marie's party. i made naning and reg come with me. it was funny. while we were in the hospital room we were telling stories of Mommy. i was telling them about how Mommy was when i was in the philippines during the volcano eruption. because of all the rain fall everything was somewhat floody. and since the bathroom is outside, the ground was flooding in there too. Mommy started yelling out to Kuya Glen to get her slipper because it was "swimming". then during one of the tremors the flourescent light came crashing down and Mommy blamed the dog that was standing there. she kept yelling that the dog was the dog of the devil..heheh..
reg was telling us that she would chase them with brooms and sticks or anything she could get her hands on. one time she chased dylan with a knife because he didn't want to eat. she was funny. you could tell that she was lolo's sister.

quan saw my hair yesterday. he says it's too short. as does jaclyn. i knew it was a little too short..but oh well what can you do?

we went to nana and tata's place yesterday for tata's bday dinner. it was cool. the girls were funny. they speak really well for their age. they are cute.

well not much since..til next time..hehe

yesterday was a boring day for the most part. after work i slept for a wee bit then i got up because i was suppose to take inang shopping. i called to see if she was ready and she said that matt was taking her to the hospital first because lolo was getting his feeding tube. so she said to get her after 3pm. fine. i was starving though. so jac and i called matt to see if he wanted to go eat with us. of course he did. so we waited til he dropped off inang at the hospital then he came to the house. we went to mission and ate at bennigan's. matt and i ordered monte cristos and jac had a county cork sandwhich. i have NEVER seen anyone actually finish a monte cristo in one sitting. well now i can't say that. matt completely cleared his plate. he was even taking jac's fries so he can wipe down his plate. then he turned around and finished off my sandwhich. i only had 1 portion left but still. that's alot of food man. after that we went to mission valley mall and jac went shopping for gifts for william's bday. we went into wizard (game store) and were looking at all the mind teasers. it was cool. i like those things. there was one of a stick and a ball inside of a bottle. the point of the teaser is to get the ball infront of the stick. no matter how you twist and turn that thing it just will not happen. while waiting for jac i happen to notice a couple looking at the same teaser. and the guy knew how to do it. you had to position the ball within the groove the stick then place the entire bottle on the ground and spin it and the motion causes the ball to go in front of the stick. it was cool. we all felt cool when we actually did it even though we cheated by watching that couple. after our shopping excursion i took jac and matt back to the house then went to the hospital to take inang shopping. i got there around 5pm. i proceeded to spend the next 3.5 hours sitting in the room with inang and lolo watching tv and doing an anagram game with inang. that was sooo boring. finally at 8:30 i told inang i had to go home. so i went home. i ended up crashing out at 9pm for the rest of the night. i didn't get up til this morning for work at 3am. gee such an exciting day.

today we celebrated Simon's 1st bday. i can't believe that he's a year old already. he's walking and is growing 2 teeth. saw auntie angie and sabrina there. sabrina's hair is actually black. she dyed it jet black. she also got her hair cut. speaking of hair cut, naning is the first person that noticed that my hair was shorter. when i went to get my food i had my back to her and she noticed.

while at simon's i saw auntie delia for the first time since her arrival yesterday from jersey. she's a cool auntie. she joined me as i took inang shopping TODAY. we went to utc and walked around then went to mira mesa target to go shopping. auntie delia found some cute bags that were on clearance. they were only $2.44. she got 3 bags for the price. 2 of them were originally $14.99 and the other one was $9.99. then i turned around and used my 10% discount and so she got another $1.14 taken off the total price. when we got to auntie marie's (to celebrate her bday) she was bragging and showing off her bags. she's funny.

well at this moment that's were i stand. just sitting her at auntie marie's house blogging. till we meet again.

the first week of school has now come and gone. it was ok, i suppose. it's boring for the most part. today we watched this video that was about an hour long and i slept for about 15 minutes of it. i was soooo tired. rose saw me snoozing. it's probably a good thing that she drove this morning.

i got my hair cut and thinned yesterday. i like it. it feels lighter too. it's a bit shorter than before. it falls on my shoulders but i can tell it's a tad shorter than the first time i got it cut.

today was the first time i went to work with my hair shorter. everyone liked it. ace walked by down the aisle and he smiled.
J: "what?"
A: " you got your hair done"
mariana, fe and myself were all impressed that he even noticed. my dad, inang, lolo, auntie marie and uncle mon didn't even notice that my hair was shorter when we went to my mom's dinner last night..more on that later.
when i went to leave i happened to pass him in the light room when i went to clock out. i asked him why he kept smirking as he walked past our aisle. he said he didn't know that he was smirking. he asked me when i cut my hair and i told him yesterday. he told me it looked good. heheh..;)

last night was mom's installation dinner for IAPES. we went to Tio Leo's on Morena Blvd. it was ok. i got to see blanca again. gerald was suppose to attend but his cousin called him and told him that he was suppose take him to the LAX airport. i met his "friend" Femi. mom was telling her co-workers how blanca and i went to jr high together and that gerald and i went to high school together. to make the world seem even smaller..as jac was sitting there she suddenly jumped up and ran. it turned out that the girlfriend of the out going president is Ann Rego, her senior math teacher. she was one of jac's favorite teachers. jac was sooo happy to see her. that was cool.

started second session yesterday. taking psyc of women..who hoo..rose and i are carpooling this time. it's only 1 class this session for both of us so that's cool.

yesterday quan and i went to target to get him more boxers. he's decided that he wants to wear boxers instead of butthuggers now. he says he feels more free..now why couldn't he make this change when we were together when i was begging and pleading with him to wear boxers...sheesh...and now he's starting to wear button down shirts instead of tshirts/polos. boon, han and him went shopping on sunday because boon doesn't really have any polos and quan doesn't have casual button downs..anyhoo, quan blew almost $140 on 4 shirts at banana republic..WHAT THE FUCK????? and they are plain/solid colored shirts..there are some cool looking button downs at target for like 10 bucks a piece..which we bought one for him yesterday..well it's a new look for him...
after that we went to barona...he's been having an urge to go for a couple of weeks now..he doubled what he walked in with, so that was cool. not bad for not even being there for an hour.

well jac got a letter today in the mail from the school. she made the dean's list last semester for having a gpa 3.50 or higher..so that's cool. i told her that if she keeps that up for the rest of her college she could graduate with one of the "laude"s after her name. that would be cool if she could pull that off.

started herbalife..damn pills..ironically it's not the pills that throw my body off but the protein shakes and herbal mix that screw me up. and it's not like i haven't had these things before..i used to have protein shakes when i was younger..even in high school...for breakfast and stuff and it never caused anything..and the lemon herbal mix makes me nauseaus..i have had lemon herbal teas and such for most of my adult life..who knows. i would think that all those damn pills (fine, tablets) would screw me up but no..then again, nothing ever happens to me as it should.

say bye bye to my hair. it's getting cut back up to my shoulders tomorrow after class. it's getting too hot to have longer hair. i'm going to also ask dee to thin it out some too. there's too much hair.

here's another look into my plain, uneventful life..til me journey again

well today is sunday and i suppose a lot has happened since my last blog. hehe

the day after mine and ace's conversation i saw him at work again. i was walking back to the front of the store when i got hit in the back and when i turned around it was ace hitting me with a pole of some sort. so i slowed down and walked side by side with him. i told him thanks for the comment he made the day before. he couldn't remember what he said. so he asked me what did he say. i told him to figure it out and i sped up and did what i had to do. when i was walking back to where we were working he followed me asking me what did he say. i still wouldn't tell. i told him it was the last thing he said..he asked, "bye?" i told him no and just told him that the only thing he needed to know what that i said thanks. then he just smiled at me. 2 of his partners were around during the latter part of our conversation and they started teasing him about me..and gaylene was coming over to me and telling me just how cute ace really is. a bit later gaylene, mariana, myself, ace and his partner ramone just started talking. damn ramone is my age and he has a daughter that's about to turn 13..that means he was 14 when he had her..thats fucking young man..anyhoo. we just all started talking about how we grew up and what was around us..ramone and i grew up somewhat near each other that was kinda trippy..he went to bonita vista jr and i went to chula vista jr..but he's all gang banging and ghetto...that's just too much for me...we got breakfast from our execs that day..well mcdonald's breakfast anyway...so i was in the middle of talking to ace and ramone and gaylene started calling for me..i said, "i'm coming" and ace replied, " i haven't even touched you yet and you are already cumming." that was funny. it's kinda cool to be able to have that type of banter back and forth with someone. i haven't been able to do that since i left the theatre. john cabigon is right..we should have ALL been fired for sexual harassment with the stuff we would say...i miss those times..

well had my final on thursday. hopefully i did ok.. even if i completely bombed the final i'd pass.. with an A and B on the first 2 midterms i pretty much gave myself a cushion for the final. if i get a C on the final then i'll get a B in the class. so that's cool. tomorrow rose and i begin psych of women. hopefully this class will be more interesting than human sexuality. both rose and i thought it would be more interesting than it turned out to be. oh well. at least it was only 4 weeks long. we didn't have to endure it for 16 weeks.

actually went to school yesterday. i finally got my 2nd midterm grade. i got an 78/89.5 which is an 87%. so overall i have a b+ in the class. in class we watched the show Queer As Folk. that was an experience. i have never seen 2 guys go at it and after watching this i can almost say i have. me and rosabel just kept looking at each other.

after class rose and i had an interesting revealing conversation. we talked about quan and mike and our lives. it was kinda cool. after that i met up with joy and joined her and her co-workers for happy hour at tgifriday's in carlsbad. it was cool. it was funny too. joy ordered a corona and barely drank that but turned extremely red and i ordered a midori sour/june bug. i was ok throughout dinner. but as soon as i sat down on the couch at joy's it started taking effect. i guess i was more fatigued than i thought and it hit me. i know what i was asking her, but i started asking random questions to her. what a dork...

today at work was interesting. i ran into Ace coming down the stairs as i was leaving. here's the conversation we had...
A: "leaving already?"
J: "have to go to class."
A: "going to class? you are taking classes right now?"
J: "today and tomorrow i have human sexuality then next week i start psyc of women"
A: "oh?! human sexuality..that sounds interesting."
J: "oh yeah it is, especially that my teacher used to be a man"
A: "USED to be a man?"
J: "yeah"
A: "you don't swing that way do you?"
J: "HELL NO."
A: "good, that would be a waste of a good woman."

boy did i feel special...especially since i ENJOY looking at this guy...definitely a bonus to all the pain in the ass the remodel construction teams have been inflicting on us.

monday, oh monday...what can i say..

well i didn't go to school again. i was too sick to go...my coughing was out of hand. so i slept most of the day. eventually i got up and took a shower around 3-ish, then went to the bank and spent my barona winnings on my loan for my past credit card bills. so that blew the whole thing since my loan payment is $210. i came home and channel surfed for a bit then joy came over. we hung out for a tad then we went to dinner with boytoy at this japanese restaurant in mission gorge. it was weird there because the waitress looked exactly like quan's older sister jacqui. that made me feel very uncomfortable. it just brought up a lot of old hostility. it was an interesting drive though. of course joy and i get into one of our indepth conversations..which isn't a good thing when you aren't exactly sure where you are going. i made a comment about how i don't tell her everything, that i do select what i reveal and not reveal. granted i am like that to everyone however i'm not as selective with her as i am with everyone else. unfortunately that comment stuck a dagger into her heart and twisted itself. in other words, it hurt her. that wasn't my intent. unfortunately i missed my turn for the restaurant and ended up driving into el cajon blvd. it wasn't all that far from boytoy's house and he hadn't left yet, so we drove into la mesa and picked him up. in the process of driving there i was able to point certain things out from my life to joy and she got a little view of my life growing up. i mean my dad works in la mesa and my grandparents live in la mesa, so i spent a lot of time there and adjacent areas. so we got to boytoy's house and i met fred the dog. so we went to the restaurant and had our dinner. SERVICE SUCKED!!!
we had interesting conversations. boytoy got a chance to see how joy and i are when we are together. he sees what he'll have to deal with in the future. he's a good guy and i know his feelings for joy are genuine and i know he'll do whatever he can to make her happy. quan asked me if i am jealous of boytoy, and in a way i am. he loves her very much and makes her happy and brings a smile on her face. that's good. she really needs it right now...

it's been a funfilled 4th of july holiday. of course i've been sick this whole holiday, but oh well, what can you do...

on thursday we held the family bbq here at the house. ron and joy came over. they inflated our big kids pool for us. mellvin went in. my mom actually put on a bathing suit and got in. she is sooo retarded. when we had mellvin tell her to go in the pool with him she kept saying that she couldn't swim. ok, this pool only stands about 2.5 feet high. how the hell is an adult going to swim in a pool that shallow...sheesh. finally she went upstairs and changed and then got in the pool with mellvin. i took a picture of it to capture the moment of my mom actually in a pool, regardless of the size. after awhile mellvin was shivering because he was soo cold, so we took him out and told him he could go in later. when he saw that my mom was wrapped im her towel so he wanted to be wrapped in his towel. ok, he's only like 3 feet tall and he wanted us to wrap him in the beach towel that we were drying him in. needless-to-say, it wrapped ALL of him. we couldn't find his pokemon slippers so he took my slippers and wore those. my uncle rolly went outside in the backyard and mellvin followed. mellvin perched himself on the hillside of backyard and squatted down. uncle mon took my digital camera and took a picture of mellvin squatting on the hillside, wrapped in the towel and wearing my slippers. the picture was hilarious. he looked like one of those "save the children" kids that they show with sally struthers on tv. you know, "for the price of a cup of coffee, you could feed this child for a week.." something like that. everyone was laughing at the picture. ( the next day i pasted that picture on a word document and made up my own spiel along the lines of the "save the children" and emailed it out. it is a cute picture none-the-less.

after a couple of hours of my family, i joined joy and ron at ate sheilah's for the Suarez 4th of july gathering. that was cool. we talked and made fun of each other..basically just another day with the Suarezes. i think i ate more there than at my house, and yet all i ate at ate's was a hamburger..and i didn't even have cheese on it..hmmm

friday i had my work review (yes, i am actually blogging about work, can you believe it? oh shut up, yes you can) it was a good one. i got a $0.75 raise, so that was cool. Gilette said that my score was above what most people get on their first annual review. so that made me feel good.
i then spent the rest of the day sleeping. gee how exciting is that. (that's a rhetorical question)

saturday night was a blast. joy, ron, jaclyn, marc, matt, cheryl, rich, rich's cousins evelyn and ronell and myself went bowling at mira mesa bowl. it was fun. i mean we pretty much spent the whole time laughing and genuinely enjoying ourselves. it was cool. we had guys against girls. AND THE GIRLS KICKED ASS!!!!! i had the top score with 159 and joy had the second highest score with a 121 then came matt with a 113. collectively the girls scored a 534 and the guys got 482. yeah baby!!!! this seems to be the time for 1st for me and joy. last week we went minature golfing together for the first time and this week bowling. we just might go shoot pool next week to keep this streak going..what do you say joy? we should make that list of things we have never done together and see what we can do about that..heheh
after i got home from bowling mom came in and said she wanted to go to barona. after awhile of chillen and talking to joy on the phone..shut up, i know i spent time with her while we bowled, man can't a person talk to their best friend after spending time with them..don't answer that...i went with mom to barona. i won $150...i was stoked. so technically i got a hat trick. i won at bowling, and i won $90 on one game at barona and then won $60 on another game. so i won at 3 games tonight. to quote Ice Cube "it was a good day"

well i better get some sleep and rest now. it's almost 3am and i'm sure this late night isn't helping me beat my illness. so i bid thee a good night..til we meet again...

well here we go again..lolo is back in the hospital...he's dehydrated. he keeps saying later, later when inang tries to give him food, drink or anything to help get his strength back. so now he's weak and back in the hospital. i haven't gone to see him, but i've also been sick. my cough and sore throat is getting worse. it hurts like hell. the only time it doesn't hurt is when i'm drinking my tea....

that's all for now..

well what to say..this weekend was boring for the most part. on sunday Joy, Ronnie and i went to boomer's in vista and went minature golfing. it was fun. it was funny on some of the holes. at least one of us would have trouble hitting the ball in the hole. on one hole, ronnie finally got fed up and threw the ball up the ramp. on another one i kicked the ball into the hole. it was hilarious. on one hole ronnie hit the ball sooo hard that it ricocheted into the surrounding water. joy and ronnie spent about 5 or so minutes trying to get the ball out. the very next hole ronnie got it in and when he went to retrieve his ball he found out that the hole was filled with urine. poor guy..

last night i started coughing and my throat hurt. again today i hurt. a little while ago i talked to joy on the phone and she too is in pain. her throat is bothering her too. however ronnie's throat is ok. i think it was because we were laughing harder than ronnie was and both of us were getting cold as the night progressed...who knows.

well this saturday is bowling night. joy, ronnie, cheryl, rich, rosabel oliquiano, jac and myself are planning on going. this should be fun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

took our second human sexuality test today. marlino gave me one of the answers right before the test, i'll have to thank him tomorrow for that one. i knew just about nothing on that test. i was reading over lecture notes during the first half of class before the test and when it came time for the test i barely recognized any of the questions. at least we get to drop our lowest score. i have 1 more midterm next wednesday, then our final is the next day. guess i better make a better attempt at going to class regardless of hour tired i am. well we'll see what i got possibly tomorrow if she finishes grading them all tonight or else we have to wait til next week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

auntie marie took lolo back to the emergency today. he really hasn't been eating this past week. so he got really weak. they called me to help her take him to the hospital but quan was here and we were about to leave and i told them that. quan asked me why didn't i just go and help them and i told him that there were too many frustrating factors related. while lolo was in the hospital i began to get really pissed off at him because he was acting like a bigger baby than mellvin and jasmine. and when i've seen him at home since, and the family isn't around, he's acting like a big baby. it just gets on my nerves. then to have auntie marie and her miss know-it-all attitude, i just wouldn't be able to tolerate it.

well that's my life...so far

til we meet again
