A look into Jessica's life

wow its been awhile since i've updated.

sunday
ended up sleeping in my mom's room. was originally gonna sleep on the couch downstairs but jac and her friends were still up and about so i accidently fell asleep on my mom's bed. got up somewhat early. of course i was the only one awake. so i went downstairs with my laptop and played the slots games that uncle burned for us. channel surfed and chatted with jer for awhile. then i went back to sleep. ehhe. then got up and we had jac start to prep to finish painting. actually saw all the mistakes that were done the night before...like painting small walls the wrong colors and all the overlapping in colors on the edges. then we got ready and went to lolo's for his bday. hung out mainly. jer came and hung out for awhile too. he was wearing his vick's jersey. never saw that before. he looked good in it. so anyhoo. mellvin was being bratty, as was jasmine. mae mae was just following them around the house but wasn't doing as nearly as much screaming and hollering. nikki made popcorn and we were all eating it. so she put some in a cup for mellvin and jasmine and in a bowl for mae mae. mae mae had a fork in her bowl and tried to eat the popcorn with a fork. there were some instances that she actually did it. it was cute cause it didn't phase her that she had problems getting the popcorn. if it fell back into the bowl she just tried again. i told you i love the wonders of kids. hehe. but jasmine was being a butthead. she didn't want to get her popcorn herself. she kept pushing and shoving mellvin to get it. but we wouldn't let him get it. we kept trying to entice jasmine to get it herself. nikki would fill it up to the rim and john would walk around eating it in front of jasmine to try to get her to get the cup from him. but no she kept pushing mellvin instead. so my mom tried to talk to her. and jasmine wouldn't get it. she turned around and said "my daddy said..." and my mom stopped her. "don't lie me. you haven't talked to your daddy yet." hahah sucka. so then she started to pout and look sad. and my mom just stared at her. so when jasmine figured out my mom was not giving her any sympathy she pointed to her face like...do you see i'm pouting?. hahahah dumbass. and my mom still didn't give any sympathy. hah. then nikki filled up her cup again. and no one really touched it. just kept trying to entice jasmine. then mae mae walks up sees the full cup of popcorn and grabs and dumps the contents into her bowl. hahaha. you've been jacked by mae mae. muahahahh. but then mellvin kept trying to take most of mae mae's popcorn. i dont know what is going on with that kid. he doesn't acknowledge us when we holler his name or anything. i think he spends too much time with jasmine. grrr. anyhoo. finally jasmine came into the vicinity of the popcorn and i think mellvin handed it to her. but at least she came near us. then came the texas holdem tourney. heh. rommel and mellany bought the clay chip set from costco. so everyone was trying to be pro and do the chip tricks. ahha. i dont know who won cause i left. came home and chilled til i had to work.

monday
i actually got to sleep in my bed in my room. its kinda weird though. waking up toa multitude of colors and a rather empty room. all i have in my room is my bed, my small tv tray with the phones and stuff on it and my lamp. thats it. hmmm what did i do on monday. jer came over after his spanish test. just chilled. as always. then he left.jac was gone so we didn't work on the room. went on errands. stopped by the rec. jer and i went to carls jr. actually had a hangaburger this time. no chicken strips. heh. but have a craving for kfc. hmm. then we went back to the rec. it was time to go home. came home. didn't mention my craving to my mom. dozed off here and there. finally found jac. my mom had her get kfc for dinner. haha i got my kfc without saying it too. so when jac finally got home we ate. then just chatted and played more slots.

tuesday
jer came over after school. chilled again. then he left. then jac got up and we worked on the room some more. the carpet ppl from empire carpets came over. they measured out my room and jac's room. we chose our carpet color. its a shade of blue. hehe. go blue. then i went to the doctors. grr they poked me. they gave me a tb test. dang it bubbles up the skin. but otherwise everything is going well. its already my 32nd week..thats 8 month ya'll. so then i ran some errands up in san marcos. i was headed to campus cause jer would have been getting out of class now. i was gonna surprise him and wait for him by the dome and drive him to his car. but then he called me and said he was on his way to the parking lot. and i was barely near barham so i just headed home. told him i was on the 78 already. didn't mention the plan to him. when we got home we found out that both of us lied. he was barely walking towards the dome from class. so i would have had time to get him from the dome. hahah. oh well. thats what we get for trying to surprise. so we chilled. then he left. we worked on the room. did all the paint touch ups. then mom and i put up the precious moments border along the ceiling on the walls. ran out of border. need to get 1 more roll.we did a lot today.

wednesday
the carpet guys came and installed our new carpet. it looks really nice. and it brought out the colors in the walls more. its a dark blue, compared to the baby colors on the walls. i think thats why it causes the colors to stand out more. looks really good in jac's room with her blue walls. jer came over. chilled again. then mom, jac and i went to kmart to get more border and other stuff. got jac a new dresser since i'm taking the 2nd one we bought, so everything matches. so then we got some dinner and i hurriedly ate it. then met up with cousin at the hospital for our lamaze class. oh man. we watched a video on the different stages of birth. and we actually watched 2 kids be born. OMG!!!! we also watched the delivery of the placenta. OM FRICKEN G..thats thing is huge. it seriously looked like the lady delivered an organ or something. thats was sooo gross. so not looking forward to that. but the teacher was talking about stuff that kinds lets us know that delivery is approaching. there is no time frame related to it. but just signs that the body is getting ready. and it makes me a lil nervous cause i was nodding my head in a ..done that, done that..type of thing. and everyone else was nodding in the ...ok keep that in mind..way. so i think this baby is gonna come early. my back hurt again by the end. those chairs are sooo uncomfy and then lying on the ground at the end doesn't help either. and when we stood up from being on the ground my head was pounding hardcore. just in the few moments it takes to sit up i managed to get a fullblown headache. wtf?? so not cool.. so then cousin and i walked to our cars. talked about the room and the colors and what not. then came home. could not get rid of this headache. even tried sleeping for awhile to get rid of it but couldn't. so when jac got home i had her get me bread and tylenol. finally it went away. grrr. but by then it was already like 230am. and i got the headache at 9pm. hate headaches.

thursday
got up and got ready. had to go back to the docs for them to evaluate the tb test. dang that was a long wait. just for like a 30 second evaluation. so afterwards i went to campus and waited for jer to get to the dome. i only waited like 5 minutes. so then i drove him to his car. then we came home. chilled. then he left. i had inang duty. ended up getting the wrong quaker oats though. so i'll have to exchange/return it tomorrow. while getting her stuff i went to starbucks and got me a venti caramel frap. yummmy!! i finally broke down and got it. then went to the rec. haha gail called me on the starbucks/coffee/caffeine. but i explained to her that i'm allowed an x amount per day..and since i dont generally drink it i can splurge every so often and get the venti un-defac frap. ahhahah. then jer asked for some of my drink. tasted the coffee then he started up about how i can't have it. dude babe..get with the program. hhah. then we ended up watching justine, gail, jenni and caresse play against these 4 guys. haha the girls won. and it was funny to watch cause jenni and caresse were in jeans and they were playing better than the guys who were in bball shorts. haha. then caresse was asking me questions about the baby and being pregnant. she's funny. and jenni swears she's 5' 2". ok. haha. gail and her "and then...and then" stories. or "hey" hahah you are funny. then i went and got the reader cause cousin called and said that her and corey were in it. then i came home. relaxed then went to work.

friday
woken up by jer arriving. kinda miss that from the summer. so we chilled for awhile. lagged too. hah. finally showered and got ready. then headed to carlsbad outlets. we ate at ruby's. it was good. didn't finish my food. duh. hah. it was cool though. then we walked around. we finally found me a watch at pac sun. jer bought it for me. it has tints of red. thats ok. it doesn't look red red so i can live with that. hah. it was cool. but my stomach was giving me problems. and i started to get light headed. so we came home. showed jer the article of cousin and corey. heh. so then he left. i dozed for a bit. then went on inang errands again. when i got to inangs uncle tony, auntie marie, lola laling, uncle johnny and his wife were there. so i said hi and what not to them. then inang gave me the money and the jello for mellany's bday and i left. i stopped by the rec for a bit. then i came home. dozed off again. then we left for mellany's dinner. got to auntie tita's house. mae mae is soooooooo cute. can you tell i'm rather fond if this kid? hehe. she took my pizza slice. haha. and it was a big slice. then the texas holdem tourney began. at first it was nikki, juni, jac, kuya james, mellany, rommel, and auntie marie. and since there were so many of them they just allotted everyone 50 chips per 5 dollar buy in. regardless of the color. so there was no denominations. within the first 3 hands rommel was out. haha. so then he bought in and uncle tony bought in too. dude uncle is a hustler. the first hand had a big pot. uncle took it with a full house. 2nd hand. another huge pot. had rommel, mellany and kuya james all in. uncle got trips and took them out. wtf??? hahah. i went inside and chilled while they continued to play. quinn, aj and their friend, sorry i never heard what her name was, were playing with mae mae. kinda like a hide and go seek. but the friend would hide and mae mae would seek. she'd get soo giddy when she found the friend. haha. she's soooo adorable. then she was eating chips. quinn tried to hand her a chip and she opened her mouth like she was gonna eat it but then turned around stuffed her own face. love that kid i tell ya. hah. aj even got her to speak. they were playing with a stuffed dog that you can record msgs onto. and aj was holding it and went up to mae mae and said hi with it. and she answered him "hi". dang. hahh. go aj. so then came the end of the texas holdem tourney. it was down to jac and uncle tony. i'm sure you can figure out who the chip leader was. hah. last hand. jac had 2 pairs. but uncle busted out with trips and won the whole pot. dang. a hustler. haha. so then we came home. chatted then off to sleep.

saturday
woken up by uncle mon at 9am. he came over to paint the floor boards, the shelf and the doors/frames. he's been here for about 3.5 hours. he's working on the doors now. hopefully jer can stop by later and help uncle put my furniture into my room. so i can arrange and get my room remotely back to normal..well a new normal i suppose.

well thats my week thus far. i'll post baby room pictures once all the painting is done. so that you guys can see it. not that many read this. but yeah.

til we meet again

its been a grr couple of days..

thursday continued
so i had to take lolo to the doctors. it would have been nice if inang had told me that lolo was in pain and really had trouble walking and moving. so i left the house around 1pm. lolo's appt is at 2pm. i ran to albertsons to get inang's eggs that were on sale for the day. so i get to inang's house. usually its no big deal to get lolo in the car. but not today. so i get inside and inang is still getting ready. lolo asks me to finish getting him dressed. he was dressed but his pants needed to be buttoned and zipped. so i try to help him up to find out that he can't move. so i have to carry lolo up to lift him and try to button his pants while he's hanging off my shoulders. ok..mind you cause i'm pregnant i'm only suppose to carrying or supporting at most 20lbs. so right there i'm supporting more weight than i'm suppose to. so then i put him back on the couch. then it comes time to leave. we go to stand up and he can't. so then i, again, carry him up to get him towards his walker. so i go outside to tinker with the wheelchair cause auntie marie said i should take it with us. ok, i wish someone had told me how to deal with the wheelchair. i didn't know how to close it up. but at the same time its a good thing that i didn't have to close it up at that moment. so inang and i are trying to figure it out. and lolo is not getting far in his trek from the couch to the car. all he kept saying was "my hat". your hat is the fricken last thing we need to worry about. ok, his appt as it 2pm and its already like 150pm. we still have to go to la jolla for this appt. ok, so inang and i figure out how to collapse the wheelchair. if you ever wanted to know, all you do is pull of in the middle of the seat and the wheelchair folds up. so we decide that lolo needs to be taken by wheelchair to the car. so i take the wheelchair into the house and i help lolo get into it. ok, so far so good right. so i take him to the car. oh lord. it was such a chore to get lolo into the car. i swear it took like over 5 minutes just to get him into the car. and again i had to fully carry him. so its already like 2pm. so i have inang call the doctors office to let them know that we are on our way just having trouble. so we finally get going at like 2:08pm. so then we park at xmed in la jolla. then it takes forever to get lolo into his wheelchair. i swear he did everything in his power to work against me. he was bending completely over so i couldn't get to him. grrrr. so i had to carry him to the wheelchair. finally we got inside for his appt. so i sat in the waiting room while inang and lolo went in for the appt. i just read my book. so then they come out and lolo is bitching about his back being in pain. so we were massaging his back as we dealt with prescriptions and what follow ups we need to take care of. so finally we headed back to the car. again it took fucking forever to get lolo into the car. and he was bitching about his back. so finally i got him into the car. he wanted me to massage his back as i drove..hello?!? i'm driving stick..can't do that. grr. then as we were leaving the drs parking lot he starts vomitting in the car. luckily inang caught it. i was getting sick at the sound of it. i don't do well at the sounds. ewww. so we finally got home. again go through hell to get him out of the car into the wheelchair. got him inside then hell again to get to the couch. then he wanted me to massage his back. i tried for awhile. but the way he was lying and having to lean over my stomach doesn't work. i'm already in pain from the lamaze class and from carrying him and the fricken wheelchair all afternoon. so i give up. so inang and i are trying to figure out stuff for lolo's next appt and he keeps hollering for us. inang gets pissed and yells out "WAIT!!!!"..hello she just yelled at him in english. dang. so i finally leave. in the span of like almost 2 hours i carry lolo 7 times and his wheelchair 4 times. that far more weight and times that i'm suppose to be carrying something that heavy. GRRRRRRR!!!
so after that i go to the rec. jer isn't there yet so i wait for him for a bit then he shows up. we chill in the car for awhile cause i'm in so much pain. then we go to walk around and hang out at the bench for awhile. it was just a chill time with jer cause i hurt sooooo much. jac had been texting for me to get food. so i finally call her back. we have to wait to see what mom wants cause she's dealing with the garage repair ppl. so finally they call me back and we decide to go to alejandros. so jer comes with me to get the food. while we are waiting rhona and hoppho show up to get themselves some food too. so we talk to them for a bit. heh. then we all leave. i drop off jer at the rec then head home. get home and the repair guy is finishing up the big garage. mom, jac and i eat. i tell mom about my hell with lolo. try to relax and let my back rest before work. work was killing my back. but i got through it. i dont know how.

friday
wake up in pain from yesterday and last night. grrr. so then jer arrives around 930am. we chill for awhile. get ready then we go to tmec. we saw rose online and confirmed that she'd meet up with us in tmec. so we head up. hah jer didn't know how far away tmec is. he kept asking if we were there yet. hah. so we finally get to winchester. dude the traffic just to exit into winchester. i swear it took like almost 10 minutes. so finally we get to the promenade. we park and walk to the edwards where we tell rose to meet us. we didn't see her so we called her up. she had just arrived. so we meet up. then we walk across the parking lot to "Kill Devils". its karl malone's restaurant and creamery that he opened. it was cool. it had hot dogs, hamburgers, some chicken stuff and ice cream based entrees and drinks. rose recognized the waitress. after pondering and finally asking her for confirmation, it turns out that they went to black mtn together. hehe. what a small world. the coney island dogs that jer and i ordered were good. pretty big dogs. heh. so after awhile we left and went back to the promenade. we walked around and checked out stores. tried looking for my watch but alas no luck. we found one decent watch but we saw the price tag...$65.50...uh hell nah. so then we headed home. we followed rose from winchester to redhawk so jer can kinda see where rose lives then headed home. jer dropped me off. then i relaxed and took a nap. didn't do too much tonight.

saturday
uncle mon woke us up around 10am. he came over. we worked on the invitations. and he brought me boxes to pack up my room. so then auntie marie arrived and we worked more on the invites. got them finished though. worked on the room too. then auntie tita and auntie azon arrived. and they came and helped me clear out the room. after the invites were done auntie marie jumped in. we ended up clearing just about everything out of room. dude, i wish i could understand tagalog. i know they were talking shit about me and what not. they were throwing things out without even asking me. and they were stuff that i still use. like my shoes. hello!! anyhoo. so yeah i was grr. then around 3pm jer came. my hero..he came just in time. he knows what i mean. so he helped uncle mon move my desk to my mom's room. then jay arrived. and they took the dresser downstairs. and we started to take all the furniture and what not into the garage. jer brought down a bunch of the boxes that we packed into the garage too. when he took my tv down, he happened to fall. i didn't see, but from what my mom and jer told me, he caught my tv and saved it. glad you didn't get hurt. we finally got everything out of my room. then around 6pm uncle started to paint the ceiling of the room. then auntie marie, auntie tita, and auntie azon started to paint my room. they finished about 1230am. my room is mint green ceiling, and the walls are alternating lilac, light yellow and baby blue. looks pretty cool. its been a long day and a grr day too.

wednesday
i was suppose to go visit jer at school. had it planned that i would ride with jac to school. felt soooo shitty. couldn't breathe, nose is constantly running, body aches, lightheaded..can't remember what else was wrong with me. sorry jer. so i called him and told him i wouldn't be going. i didn't even feel like i slept at all last night. felt sooo tired. so after i talked to him for bit i actually slept for a couple of hours. got up and made some more chicken nuggets. then just tried to rest til jer got here. we chilled. after he left i got ready and went to the rec. we ran errands. i went to the bank then to savon to buy me some sudafed. jer bought aja a mini pbj. we named him jj. heh. so now her and i will both have one. so then we went back to the rec and watched the flag football practice. then i left and went to pick up cousin to go to our first lamaze class. its cool. there are only 7 pregnant ppl in our class. and there is only 1 person who is due before me, the rest are due after me, and even a month after me. but they are all bigger than i am. their bellies are huge compared to my lil one. and they all have complaints of like morning sickness, nerve problems, and other stuff. the only one i had was peeing too much. there was a lot of info during the class. we have 6 more to go. dang thats a lot of info we are gonna have to remember. heh. we did some floor exercises. but it affected my back. but i didn't know it did til i took my nap before work. cause to go from the hard floor to my comfy bed. then the pains hit me. chatted with jer after the class. we watched the leah remini thing on vh1 about her pregnancy. damn she was huge. heh. by her 17th week she was like 3x bigger than i am now at 30 weeks. thanks pam for the get well wish. so then after my nap i went to work. work was ok. finished my stuff hella early. part of it was that gaylene was helping me. but we finished softlines by 1am. that means there wasn't much in the first place. cause i did 6 batches and she did 4. so i ended up helping the others with stationary and school supplies. that wasn't too bad. near the end though i started to feel my body temp rise again. but it wasn't too bad. finished that kinda early too. so i went and diddle daddled out in softlines waiting for them to give stuff to backstock. as soon as they did it was break time. so then after breaktime i backstocked what i had gotten. then it was time to come home. yayee. so i came home. but my garage wouldn't open. wtf?? finally getting frustrated i went through the front door to find out what is going on. its a good thing i had made myself a copy of the house key. since i gave mine to jer. i couldn't figure it out at first. so i went back out and locked up my car. when i came back in my mom was still awake and asked why i came in the front door. so i told her. so we went to check out the garage door. after a bit i happened to notice that the big spring coil that rotates the pulley to open the garage snapped apart. thats why my garage didn't open. sucky. my garage is broken. luckily it happened while my car was outside of it cause then my car would have been stuck inside the garage. not cool. so then mom text dad since its like 630pm over in pi. dad called. turns out there was an earthquake in manila and surrounding areas. but it was felt in panan. hmm. so yeah.

so jer came over hella early cause his early class got cancelled, in advanced. so he came over. after chilling and showering for awhile we headed to school. i went to school with him cause i have a drs appt today too. so we tried to take advantage of having lolo's handicap placard but all the slots were full. so then we drove around the parking lot looking for a spot. but nothing. then all of sudden a meter opened. so we parked there. luckily i had my roll of quarters to use. so then we went to the dome. everyone was gone so we walked to his class. he went to class and i went to the dome. after getting some apple juice and a lunchable i chilled with camille and her friend carla. they were cool. telling stories. camille didn't know that i knew her family for 25 years. dang. its cool though. then shar came in and after awhile she came and said hi to me. i miss her. heh. i saw others come in. ali came over and talked to camille. it turns out that they used to work together at cost plus. heh. small world. then pam came in the dome and saw me and came over and chilled with me. borasy came by and said hi. then camille and her friends left for class. pam chilled with me til jer came out of class. then she left for class and i had to leave for my appt. so jer walked me to the car. then i dropped him off at the dome. then i went to my appt. dang there were a lot of ppl there. usually my appt are at 11 or 1130 but this time it was at 1145. so then after awhile they called me for vitals. i lost a pound. we say cause its been so hot. hhe. all my other stuff is good. so then i went out into the waiting room again. dang. i didn't get called back into the rooms til like 1240. luckily i have my book to read. i'm reading "the wedding" by nicholas sparks. read a lot since i was waiting for so long. so then finally i saw the nurse practioner. she did her thing with finding the baby's heartbeat. after that i set up my next appt. grr have to have a tb test again. sucky. so then went back to school to pick up jer. then we went to the mall. we ate at hot dog on a stick. heh. good stuff. then we walked around.i was suppose to be looking for a new watch cause my watch keeps unclasping. we did look at the watches at anchorblue. but after that the search was for shoes. hehe. we ended up going to kids footlocker. we found baby nikes. jer got them for the baby. then i found some 20s i liked. hehe i win. so after that we came home. came home and found my front yard flooding. apparently some pipe from our sprinkler system busted. so i went in and asked my mom if anything was leaking upstairs. then told her what was happening outside. jer tried to turn off the main water valve near the sidewalk. so then he left. i went to our neighbor larry's house and asked him to help us out. he was able to turn off the waterfall of water spewing out of the wall but it triggered the sprinklers. then we cut off the power to the sprinklers and the sprinklers didn't even stop. we thought maybe it had to run its course then shut off. but after 3 hours it still was on. oops. we called uncle rolly and left him msgs to come over after work to check it out. so during that 3 hour span i had to go take care of inang and lolo's prescriptions. went to the rec and picked up jer. then we went to savon and dropped off the prescriptions. walked around then went to baskin robbins and got some ice cream. yummy. so then we went back to the rec. chilled at the rec. jer sprayed my shoes and aja's shoes with the protectant. heh. then i left to go get the prescriptions. went to inangs. then came home. chilled and chatted. took a nap then went to work.

friday
jer came over. just chilled. then he left. i napped and stuff. then i got ready. then jer came over 630pm and picked me up. we went to mira mesa's football game. saw jaelen (sp?), jordan, justin, rachel, shaina, carrese, and roxy. it was kinda weird seeing these kids in street clothes. usually i see them in bball clothes at the rec. hehe. it was a cool game. mauraders won. i don't think i ever really watched a mc game like this. i went to 2 homecomings after grad but i was more into who was there than what was on the field. during the second half we sat with rachel and shaina. we were in the middle of the jv and the freshman team. yeah i'm tooooooo old to be around them. there was one freshman player that needs to be beatdown. but yeah. it was cool. after the game we came home and chilled a bit. then he went home.

saturday continued
well i went downstairs and ate breakfast. papa nick made me eggs, rice, and spam. haha. i hung out with the kids watching a plethora of cartoons...even a variety in the same 30 minute frame. ms ellie is cute. kuya made her a plate of rice and spam. and he cut up her spam into strips. and she only ate the spam one at a time. hah. cute. so kuya, auntie chaning and princess went to the commissary. after they came back auntie made lunch. so we ate. jac and mom actually got up. so after we ate we waited for jac to get ready then kuya took me, jac, ellie, nathan and jacob to the outlets.first we went to an indoor outlet. there was a merry-go-round inside. and ms ellie was all about that. heh. so jac and i went into different stores while kuya and the boys entertained ellie. the boys wore their heelys. and they kept trying to do minor tricks on them. they need to learn to keep their heads up though. they kept staring at the ground and not paying attention to the other customers. wasn't too impressed wtih this mall though. so i went back and chilled with kuya and the kids. kuya looked funny on the merry-go-round..he was just standing there on the phone but he's so big and ellie is so tiny on the horse. heeh. so then jac met up with us and then we headed out. so then we went to an outdoor outlet on charleston i think they said. it was cool. they had a quicksilver outlet. so i went in to find jer some stuff. i ended up getting him a sweatshirt and polo shirt..at the other mall i went into pac sun and found a quicksilver sweatshirt but it was like 55 bucks. wth?? and at the actual quicksilver outlet i got the 2 shirts for less. i went into the puma, nike and adidas outlets. i found some cute shoes at each of them. but the adidas one was for kids and they didnt have my size. the nike one also was kids and didn't have my size. the puma ones were cute. but i didn't feel like paying 60 bucks for a pair a shoes. i kept seeing them at different stores but they were always almost 60 bucks at each of them. oh well. next time nalang. so after shopping for awhile we finally left. it was cool. but it took a toll on my stomach. by the end i was in pain. very uncomfortable. so we came home. we ate dinner. good lasagne. cause i was in pain and so uncomfortable i ended up staying home. jac and papa nick went to meet up with princess, auntie chaning and mom at the other casinos. kuya had to babysit all the kids. pretty much after i dinner i just stayed in my room. i chatted with jer. not as long as i wanted cause i wasn't feeling good and was starting to doze off. so then i went to sleep.

sunday
was woken up by jac coming into my room at around 8ish again. they had just come back home from the casino. dang. so i went downstairs and ate breakfast. auntie made waffles and eggs. cool. after i ate i chatted then went back to sleep. during the chat jer was telling me that it was hot in diego. so i looked it up and it was 97 degrees and it was only like 10am. so i checked the weather in vegas and it was only in the 80s. i checked the temp in san ysidro and it was 101 degrees. wtf?? shouldn't san ysidro be a lot cooler than mira mesa. and even san marcos was cooler than muira mesa. after awhile i got up again. then ate lunch. mmm apritada. then michael patrick came by to visit. after watching tv for awhile we got ready. then after repacking and getting stuff ready for our departure later tonight, mom, jac, princess and i went to visit nanay's hospital to visit her. she looks good. haha. she said that she knew that i was having a girl cause i was beautiful. so princess says, "thanks nay..i've having a boy cause i'm ugly." heheh.

so after visiting we met up with auntie chaning at rampart casinos. i finally get to gamble. heh. so we sign up for the club cards. there is a contest that if you earn 500 pts before 10pm you get a silk casino jacket. so we start gambling while waiting for auntie's friend mary to join us for dinner. so i go and gamble. play a dollar slot machine, like i end to do. and i actually win. at one point i had like $350 dollars. but i got greedy. oops. and when the fam comes to me so we can eat i cash out at $185. hey its better than nothing. heh. when i was playing there was an older gentleman that was playing a few machines away from me. when he cashed out the machine ran out of coins. and he was 4 short. so he got tired of waiting for the workers. so he told me to take the 4 coins when it does finally come out. and sure enough later the workers refilled the machine and 4 dollar coins fell out. so i took them as he offered. but i felt bad. so i kept them as momentos instead of claiming them as winnings. so auntie helped me collect the 185 coins that came out of my machine. we went and cashed them in. the lady asked for my id. hah. so after that we went to the buffet. it was good. didn't eat a lot. got my prime rib though. heh. i had an interesting combo. i had prime rib. egg rolls, and shrimp ragoon (kinda like a wonton). heh. so after eating we gambled again. we still had like an hour and half left on the contest. it was funny cause princess and auntie chaning were on 1 card..jac and mom were on another..then i had to go about it all on my own. by 945pm i had 490 pts. wth?? come on now..just 10 more pts???? so i play a bit more and get to 505. heh. so i go and get my jacket. so the one that plays by herself gets the jacket and the teams get nothing. hahah. its a cool jacket. its dark blue and silk and say rampart casino on the left chest. hehehe. so finally around 130am we left the casino. we went home and got our stuff and said our byes. then headed out around 2am. at first i sat in the back so i could lay down if i wanted to. but as we drove and i actually started to try to do so i was uncomfortable and the seatbelt was pulling on me. not cool. so i told my mom that before we passed the state line me and jac needed to switch seats. but we kinda passed it when i reminded my mom. so she pulled off to the side and jac and i switched. it helped a bit. i was still uncomfortable. i think the fact that i normally sleep on my side and not my back the baby wasn't having it. so she made my stomach solid and very painful. it hurt to yawn. and i kept yawning. sucky. i tried sleeping for a bit then my mom woke me up for some gum. as i sat there id notice shed start veering to the sides. so i ended up staying up and warning my mom when she would drift. when we were in menifee me and jac offered to drive but my mom said she was ok. but by the time we got out of tmec and fallbrook by gopher canyon my mom pulled over and i drove the rest of the way home. so we came home, unloaded the car and went to bed...at 7am. hah.

monday
slept all day practically. got up around 2pm. still uncomfortable. chatted with jer for a bit then he came over around 330pm. damn its hot. its cooler downstairs than upstairs. so we hung out upstairs til it was too hot to handle. then we chilled downstairs. watching the csi marathon on spike tv. then jer left. continued to watch that practically all night. went to target to get my schedule. then came home and watched more. then watched csi miami then went to sleep. didn't stay up long after jer went to bed for school.

"you want one?" she starts to reach for one..."what is that?" "a worm" and i start to giggle....she pulls her hand back in disgust. hahahah. so funny. so then i take her home. on my way home i pass jer and his dad coming home finally from escondido..after leaving him 4 hours prior. dang. poor jer, his car died. so i came home and chatted a bit. then mom called us for dinner. as we were gonna sit down jay arrives from long beach. his hair was cute.hehe. reminded me of flock of seagulls style haha. so he sat and ate with us. boy he loves home cooking after being at school. heh. so after dinner i went back upstairs. later marc came to chill with jac and jay. before they left i asked marc and jay to switch out my mattresses. they struggled a bit. but they got it. yayee!! no more springs in the ass. eheh. so i just chatted.

friday
ok. i channel surfed last night til 2am. what time did i wake up? 445amWTF?? and i had a hell of a time getting back to sleep. finally around like 545am i turned on the tv. there really wasn't anything worth watching. so i just left it on mtv. around like 615-630ish i stopped watching. i left the tv on but just closed my eyes in hopes of slumber. started to, so i turned off the tv. then around 730am jer came over. tired i tell ya. and its gonna be a long day cause we leave for vegas tonight. so jer and i chilled. it was sooo nice to actually spend time with him. the last few days have been busy and chaotic that even if i see him for like an hour we only really spend like 10 minutes together. grr. :/ so to be able to spend 3 hours with him was really nice. ended up taking a nap around 1030am cause i was soooo tired. we finally got to "sleep together"..hehe. i must have been tired cause i didn't move from where i was and i stayed in his arms the whole time. i can't usually do that. so that was nice. a nice way to end our visit. hehe. so then he left. sniff sniff won't see him til monday. so then i go back upstairs so i can start to get ready to take lolo to the doctors. but then inang calls and says that the drs office called and cancelled the appt. oh ok. fine with me. hehe. tell my mom. supposedly we'll leave early for vegas. hahaha yeah right. and i'm a millionaire. hah. so finally about 1245pm i get ready. i have to go buy inang ant spray before we leave. so i get mom's atm to get gas for the car and she gives me a check to cash for spending money for the weekend. ok. so i go to vons and get ant spray. then go to the bank to cash the check. then go to inangs. dude that woman. the ant spray was on sale. and there was a coupon in the vons add too. and since its a double couple it made the ant spray only 8 cents. if there was no limit then i was suppose to get 5. but if there was a limit then only the 1. we didn't know about the coupon being a double coupon so inang thought it was gonna be 99 cents. so i go to pay and find out its only for 1 and its only 8 cents. i tell inang and she got mad that i didn't go back and get a few more. just pay separately. dude. so then i tell her that i'm going out of town. i didn't want to give her any info cause its really none of her business and she's just a busybody. but she wouldnt let me leave til i answered all her questions. she asked me where was i going and i said away. and tried to stick to that but she wouldn't stop asking me til i told her nevada. then she wanted to know with who. i said ppl. then she starts grilling me about my mom and sis and if they are going. finally i said yes. and she figured out that we were coming to auntie chaning's house in vegas. grrr. so finally i got to leave. damn woman. so then i went to big 5 to buy a duffle bag. and i found a small nice blue adidas (look gail i bought an adidas bag) heh. it looks like this one..except its dark blue with white writing. so then i went to albertsons to buy snacks for the trip then got gas. then went home. i packed. so around 330pm we started to pack up the car. jac fricken didn't even pack. she never emptied her suitcase from her pasadena trip so she just closed it up and brought the huge ass suitcase. mine and my mom's luggage combine match jacs. dude. so finally after the lagger gets her stuff in gear and she says bye to jay we head out at 4pm. so we stop by the am/pm on east valley parkway for drinks and some hot dogs. after eating we head out finally at 5pm. yeah leaving early. haha. so we go. mom is driving, im in the passager seat and jac got the back. we hit some traffic in temecula/murrieta area (oh mental note..jer the area that i couldn't remember after murrieta is menifee) then when we went to get onto the 210. i think its the 210. but yeah. other than that we were pretty good. only made 2 pee stops. thats pretty good since i was drinking iced tea or water the entire trip. the first stop was jac's doing, i just took advantage. then the second was mine. but hey..come on now..i'm 7.5 month pregnant and had like 60oz of liquid in my system over the drive. i think i did pretty good. so finally at 1030ish we arrived at auntie chanings. nikki and juni had gotten here like 20 minutes before us. got to see princess for the first time really pregnant, this time around. and its the first time they've actually seen me with my stomach. hah. it was funny. so then we ate. after eating nikki and juni headed out to their hotel and friends, and auntie chaning took mom and jac to the casino. i was toooooo tired. so me and princess talked and showed her stuff online. gotta love wireless..thanks to whoever's signal i'm stealing. heh. chatted with teresa about being in vegas. haha. didn't get to talk or anything with jer. sniff sniff. never realized how attached or dependent you are on someone til they aren't there for some reason. ya know. so then i went to sleep.
