oh good stuff...its been an enjoyable couple of days..

friday
so i get to school around 9am. my class is not til 11am. so i figured i'd hang out for a couple of hours to let out my "ditching" urges so that i would go to class. well we'll go back to that one in a bit. yeah so i'm in the dome with teresa, rosemarie and rhona. oddly enough i get some reading for cog processes done. scary..been actually doing academic work..the world is gonna end..haha. riiiggghhhtt!!!! like i'm THAT important. so anywho..we have our laughs and stuff. then slowly other people come like nik, shea, randy, joseph, precious, and ali. dang thats a lot of people for a friday. so around 10am the poli sci crew are getting ready to head out to their study session with the teacher when ryan sees a pretty girl. so rose goes to check her out and all of us are checking her out too and stuff. so everyone is moving around and what not and i happen to watch rose and her demeanor..haha..sorry sweetie but you do act like a guy..ahah. just like you said. oh man..and i tell her outloud that she does act like a guy sometimes. oh meng. <-- shrugs-->yeah so i'm sitting there and its almost 11am. time for class right..hahah. at our table was me, nik and ali and at the poli sci table (they are studying) is rose, randy, rhona, joseph, precious and teresa. i keep staring at both clocks in the dome telling myself that i should get up and go. but to no avail. everyone is telling me i have class but i just don't have the desire to be there. sheesh. so then nik and ali decide that they are gonna convince me to stay..hahah yayee!! so needlesstosay i stayed. so then around 1115 i'm talking to nik and ali when all of a sudden joseph looks at me and says "hey you are suppose to be in class!!" uh oops..so i throw my book up to cover my face and try to hide. haha. then everyone from the poli sci table is telling i was suppose to be in class...i happened to look at rose and i seriously looked like she was mad doggin me..and leering at me. i kept turning away. eventually nik and ali saw her do it too. we were like "oh damn". i was telling them that i've never been afraid of a small person before..hah. later i found out that rose didn't even know what she was doing. she couldn't see all that well towards me cause she wasn't wearing her glasses. what a goober.hahh. so everyone was getting ready to leave and stuff and rose notices a guy from afar that looks kinda cute. so of course we look and kinda agree. so you would think that was the end of it right..nope try again. ahha. jane (np= no pearl) and rose are getting ready to leave when they realize that the afore mentioned guy is sitting not to far from us. so they actually decide to go up and introduce themselves. me and jane pearl are sitting there watching them as they socialize and stuff. so i decide to text rose "don't drool". she gets the message and turns and looks at us laughing. then she calls me over there. so i go there and it turned out that he was one of the many magazine guys that we are being bombarded with and ending up in our blogs..hah teresa and diana..so he tries but i'm not interested and no matter how much jane tells him no and that rose tells him she has no money on her he keeps trying. oh man..no is no.. sheesh. rose had called me hoping that i would save them. dude ning...you need to start learning how to say no..ahah. so then rosemarie introduces him to charlene and while he's over there jane wanted to leave and stuff but rose didn't want to be mean. so when he comes back rose asks him if he agreed that charlene was pretty and he greatly agrees..so then rose started hitting him in the shoulder as a sign for "go for it dude". oh meng..little girl with a lot of strength. so i grab her hands and bring her back towards me and don't let go. saying no more rose...and jane (np) says "dadang no, no dadang" hah. rose was oblivious to why we were doing what we were doing so we just finished the very boring conversation with the guy and he left. then we explained to rose what she did and she was shocked..hah such the guy..you weren't kidding when you said you'd be the guy in our relationship were you..ahha i lub you ning..hah. so then rose and jane left and i was talking to jane pearl. so we decide to call rose and tease her about the guy. so i'm on the phone with rose and jane pearl leaves to go to her writing apt and i'm gonna wait cause we have to go to target and get the apsa dvd prize afterwards. so i'm talking to rose on the phone and i swear people start calling me left and right. why is it that when i'm not on the phone no one wants to call but now that i'm on the phone everyone is calling..sheesh.. first it was kristina telling me about marc..and then there were subsequent calls about that later. and paul called and stuff. then clare called. haha. so then i got off the phone and not long later jane pearl returned.
so we head down to the parking lot to go. as we are walking jane asks "are we going to go in 1 car or in the same car?" um last time i checked that would be the same thing.haha. go jane pearl!! so she rewinds it and tries it again and gets it right this time. since we decide to go up to vista i said i would drive. so we head up there. we get in the target and jane pearl gets a cart cause we don't know how big the dvd player is gonna be. so we go to the electronics depart and we find the dvd player..the player is so tiny we could have fit it in the hand held baskets..ahah. oh well. so we pay and go on our way. haha. so we are in our own cars and headed home. i decide to drop off the dvd player at trish's house. so i'm on the phone with her and stuff then howard from the studio calls to confirms stuff for tomorrows taping and stuff. he was cool. he was telling me stories about other groups and how they apparently don't want their money.haha. it was cool. so i get to trish's house. and she suddenly heads upstairs. she comes down with tsiko. she is so cute and tiny. i'm just holding and petting her missing my jade 8''( so i sit on the stairs and place tsiko on my leg and she just drapes herself across my thigh. thats how small she is. so cute. so then quan calls and i head home to meet up with him.
this is interesting. our first encounter since i "divorced" him. so who knows whats gonna happen. so we head to compusa to find his nba live 2k4 and hopefully the serial/usb converter so i can use my mom's portable printer. yeah things pretty much went as i had expected to. i knew it was gonna be hard to be divorced. but after all is said and done, i'm confident in my decision and in myself to remain divorced. thats something i could never say before. and that's probably why i never remained divorced from quan until now. well only time will tell if we were meant to be.

saturday
ok i went to work. and all was good. i came to work in a good mood. talked to rose on my way to work so i was pretty content. started work then around 130am i suddenly got really weak. i can kinda feel that i was clammy and my breathing suddenly sped up. scared the shit out of me. i didn't know what the hell was going on. so i kinda kept on working through it and i got weaker and my breathing got faster. oh damn. so around 145am i ask jaime if it would be cool that i leave as soon as i was done with my batches and he said yeah. so about 10 minutes later i left. what the hell is that meng? so i got home and tried to relax. han logged on so we chatted. she was a little distraught and i told her about my experience at work and we say that we are just so connected that my body was reacting so that i could be home to help her out..hah. so then around 345am i went to sleep. i got up at 645am and got ready for our hollywood trip to watch family feud. so around 730am i head down and pick up trish. then we go to the campus and meet up with paul and lorissa. so then we drive through la and what not and finally get up to hollywood. dude i pulled some crazy driving shit then. we are driving and i notice that the street we need to turn left on is fastly approaching and i'm on the far right lane so i cut across. mind you paul is following behind me. and my quick veer off to the left caused him to have to cut off a beamer. oops. so then we are going down the street behind the studio where we are suppose to be and i decide to pull a u-turn and it was cool. i made the turn but my car made cool sounds too. haha. like that one trish? so then we start heading towards the denny's. i get impatient and just kinda haul ass and sorta make my own lane. as i zoom by we notice that there was a cop ahead. oops.. hah nothing happened though. so then the 4 of us went to breakfast at dennys. it was actually pretty quick. so then we head back to the studio around 1040am. trish drives so that i can change my shirt and stuff. so we get there and park. we head up to the door and try to call everyone to find out where they are. both jane pearl's gang (jp, chris, josie, andrew and teresa) and kristina's group (k, annie, marc and quinn) are still on their way from ucla. but they come different ways. so i'm stressing out cause its almost 11 and we need to be inside. but the guys were cool and they help give directions to both groups to get them here and they waited til we had all of our people here. while we were waiting for the gangs trish and i were talking with the guys working our check in. they were funny, especially the black guy. trish, for some unknown reason, was singing the winnie the pooh song. WTF!! and the she started up on showtoons and other random music. and then we were talking and i started kinda swaying and dancing just trying to stay warm and he started making fun as though we were dancing and what not..hah. FRICKEN TRISH!!!!!!! the sweater i was wearing showed some cleavage or as trish called it "cleever" but not as much as the shirt i was gonna wear. but i was standing there facing the street waiting for the 2 corollas to come and the next thing i knew trish tried to toss her water bottle in my cleavage..WTF!!! luckily i caught the water bottle as it fell out of my sweater. damn you woman!!so anyway we all got in around 1120am. so it was cool. so after waiting outside for awhile we finally got into the studio. we saw punita's family at the front of the line. so we finally are in the studio and they are taking us to our seats. we see punita immediately cause she's sitting in the front row but we can't talk to them cause they get disqualified if they are caught talking to the audience. but i winked and smiled. so then we were in our seats. in the 2nd row was andrew, josie, jane pearl, chris and marc. in the 3rd row was paul, lorissa and quinn. in the 4th row was teresa, me and trish. and then on the top row was annie and kristina. that shows you how small the audience was. then the stage itself is tiny. it looks so huge on tv. from the final contestant to the camera man is at most 8 steps. then directly behind the cameras is the audience. wow that was small. the host (al from home improvement) seemed pretty tall. he's lost a lot of weight since home improvement. we were schooled on how to clap. can you believe that?!? but its all good. basically we spent an hour and half clapping, hollering/cheering, and aw-ing. haha. but it was cool. we were there for episodes 101-103, unfortunately punita was on episode 104. so we had just missed their family. maybe next time..haha. during the down periods the announcer would talk to the audience or sing and stuff. so he came up to our row and was standing in front of trish cause she was in the last seat. so teresa, me and trish all have our legs crossed and our hands are just chillin on our laps. so he comes up and asks how we are doing and we say good. then he happens to see my watch and compliments my watch. and of course i say thank you. punita is in my direct view behind the announcer with a big grin on her face. THEN he turns around and sees my rings and says that i'm bling bling and that he was wondering what was blinding him down in front of the stage and what not..har har yeah yeah...so of course i'm all embarrassed now and try to hide my hands inbtwn my legs. he walks away and punita is cracking up as is the rest of apsa and the audience. oh lordy. hahah yeah yeah yeah i got clowned at the taping. sheesh meng. so then around 215pm we got dismissed and stuff. so we all went our separate ways.
so our group decides to find roscoe's chicken and waffles. the black guy said that it wasn't that far down on sunset. so we are ok we can do this. so in my car is me, trish and quinn. in kristina's car is her, marc and annie. so we drive down sunset and keep driving, keep driving, keep driving, did i mention keep driving and no roscoes. what the....so finally after awhile i call jac at home and ask her where it is and she said she didn't know cause they went to the one in pasadena. great but she says to have quinn call 411 cause she's on at&t and they'll give us directions cause thats what rj had done. so we try it. we call 411 on quinn's phone but trish does the talking. so we finally get the street names and we have to turn around. so we do and head back towards the studio. as we were first heading down sunset we saw the red robbin bakery on the corner and made comments about it and stuff. well it fricken turns out that the roscoes is right there next to it. GODDAMMIT!! sheesh people. so we get there and it turns out that there is a 45 minute wait to get in. we discuss and decide to make to-go orders and just eat at quinn's dorm. so we go in and place our orders. this place is so fricken tiny. its no wonder the wait is so long. i would say that the student lounge is probably the size of this place. dang. so while we are waiting for our food trish and i head across the street to the riteaid to get some drinks and stuff. i don't think i've ever been so happy to be a san diegan. there were these 2 white guys in suits and stuff who were buying a card and what not. there was only 1 cashier open and the line was pretty long. so she called for another cashier. so this guy comes around and he has to count the register, trish heard him say that he was actually off but he came to help. so he's counting the register and yet people are lining up in front of him anyway. so there are 2 people in front of these 2 guys. so he's trying to count as fast as he could and stuff. then the 2 guys start riding him cause he is taking to long and they are tired of waiting. WELL DUMBFUCKS NO ONE TOLD YOU TO GET IN A LINE THAT WAS READY SHITHEADS.and they just keep riding him and riding him. and he's getting really irritated and with good reason too. so finally he gets it all ready and helps the first lady. no big deal. the 2nd lady wanted claritan but had 2 different types and causes a small commotion and decides she only wants 1 of them but it requires an void by a manager to take care of it. so he calls for the manager and the guys are still giving him a hard time. and so the manager arrives and they decide to void out the transaction and start over at another register to help the woman..but NO she starts bitching about she's waited in line too long and what not. these people got in line barely right before me and trish got in line and we were fine. finally the 2 assholes got helped. and then we got out of the store too. sheesh people get a brain. as we were heading back to the gang trish and i saw a transvestite. interesting stuff i tell ya. so we get back to roscoes and marc has our food. so we jump into my car and the girls are in kristinas. we aren't exactly sure how to get back to quinn's dorm so good luck to us. so kristina is leading and after driving in a circle to get to the freeway entrance we are on our way. but because of weaving around traffic we lose kristina. uh shit!! so then they call and give us some direction. but they forgot to tell us some important ones too. so we end up on the opposite side of sepulveda. so they aren't quite sure how to get anywhere so we call rosh to help us out. and he gives us some direction. so after more fricken u-turns we start heading towards ucla. kristina and them also get confused so they backtrack onto the freeway and work their way down. so we are driving and stuff. and we end up taking the scenic route to what rosh told us. we end up turning in the wrong direction on whilshire and end up down in the middle of somewhere. so we turn out again..damn u-turns. and head back. so we are on whilshire again and finally see veterans, where matt and marc told me to park. but alas again i turn in the wrong direction. but marc was no help. so we turn and hes like, oh yeah i remember this place and we should be coming up to it, whatever. we get all the way to the end and find out we went the wrong direction. so we drove around and was able to get to the whilshire and veterans intersection and go in the correct directions. we find matt's car and park near it. damn that was a pain. so then we walk up to quinn's dorm. by now it's already been over an hour or so since we bought our food. marc lost his appetite, but he's also sick, and trish ate in the car. so i eat in the dorm. dayam that food was good. even with it being all cold and shtuff it was good. yummy. so when we get there marc, kristina and annie pack up their stuff and head out to get home since marc is sick. matt, shawn and gordon are there chillin still. shawn and trish are reminiscing cause she was his section leader back at mc. hah. giving him updates on clare, rosemarie and diana. he was tripping out on how rosemarie has changed though. he saw her picture with maricel and was amazed. hah. dang i wish i could have see how you used to be and compare it to now. hahh. so then the guys headed out. we talked for awhile just us 3 then decided to head out to deedee reises. apparently at this place you get ice cream cookie sandwhiches for a buck. so we call up rosh and pick him up and head over there. of course we keep circling and circling forever cause there is no parking. its worse than downtown and pb meng. eventually we find a parking spot. yayee!! i swear i spent more gas getting lost than going to family feud from san diego. so we are in there and i happen to look across and recognized josie and sitting next to her was andrew. so i went over to them and talked to them. then quinn, trish and rosh followed. so we were all talking. then andrew was on the phone with teresa and told her where we were and it turned out that she was just down the street. so then her and alex came over to us. so we were all outside being goofy and taking a few pictures and what not. good times was had. then around 8pm jane pearl and chris came around to pick up andrew, josie and teresa. so trish and i walked them to the car and i told jane pearl to drive safely and call me when they get to diego so i know they are ok. so then we headed back to drop off rosh and quinn at their places. then we headed out. damn rain storm. sheesh. so again trish and i had interesting conversations in the car just like we did on the ride up. haha. while in the irvine area cy called from hawaii. wow my cousin called me. he just wanted to say hi and see how we were doing since we haven't talked in a while. he was telling me about him having to be out in the water all the time on maneuvars. that's the navy cousin. haha. we talked a bit about don don being diagnosed as autistic. i'm sure don don will be ok. i don't think his will be very severe. he's a bright kid already. so then trish had to pee so we stopped at joe's crab shack in oceanside. while she was doing her business i was on the phone with rose. haha i swear we have odd conversations..serious then retarded then serious..hah. oh well. then trish and i headed down some more. then teresa called to say that they were home. good. all safe. then we talked to nik and he said to meet at stix in poway.
so we met up with nik, 2 of his friends and randy. nik and randy came up to the car when we arrived. they were making fun of trish cause she was fixing her make up ahha. so we go in and not long after we get a table. so first we played cutthroat. nik's 2 friends were 1 team, me and nik were another, and randy and trish were the 3rd. we lost to nik's hustler friends..ya know they had their own pool sticks and stuff. so then 2nd game me and trish sat out. we went to the jukebox (well the label actually said "jukbox") haha. we picked crawling from linkin park for nik, one love by bob marley then bohemian rhapsody by queen. quire eclectic don't you think?!? ahah. so then nik's friend left and it was us 4. so first it was girls against guys. fun stuff. then trish didn't want to be my partner anymore so i partnered up with nik and trish and randy were a team. i don't really remember who won. i remember 1 game just full of scratches. hah. we were all being dorky and enjoying ourselves. fun. then around 130am we headed home.

sunday
so here we are on sunday. i woke up around 1045ish cause rose texted me a message. so then i went online and chatted with teresa and bunch of others for awhile. i was so intending on going to ucsd to work on my paper but that didn't pan out. around 1ish my parents called me to eat and when i went to speak my voice was all whacked. it was weak and rhaspy. where did that come from? i didn't scream that much in the studio and i was fine talking all last night. who knows. and even when i did go downstairs to eat and i was talking my voice didn't strengthen. then around 3-ish i crashed out cold again. i woke up around 615-ish cause quan called. so i got up and checked on more journal articles for my paper. well at least i did something on it. hah. chatted more with teresa and rhona. then chatted with rose, quan, ali, carl and chris. man chris i'm jealous of your html skills. thanks for the view of the opening page. i'm excited to see the rest. hope you feel better mr flu man.

so here i am and it's 432am on monday i'm finally done blogging. i've been working on it intermittenly since a little before noon yesterday. haha. i lag. well hope you enjoyed my escapade. til we meet again.
