last night was pretty chill. after work, i had dinner with my buddy kevin...we went to red robin and caught up with each other...it's kinda wierd to see which friendships have really lasted through the years, and which ones have not...sometimes, things aren't what you expect them to be, and sometimes they are...it's just really odd...but odd in a cool way.
after that, i went home...then, i decided to go to chris' house to chill and play video games, and so i chilled with chris and sean for the rest of the night. we played tony hawks pro skater 4 and the wakeboarding demo for a couple hours...it's pretty awesome. anyways...last night was really fun.
yesterday, i realized why, at work, friends shouldn't train friends. levi, one of my supervisors, decided to get sean behind the service desk for training...and, who was the person who had to start training him? me. i'm not complaining though, for that last hour and a half, it was the most productive goof-off period i've gone through in my life. it's was so damn funny just training him (and harassing him) the way i wouldn't be able to train anyone else...i can't believe we'd gotten away with all the inappropriate comments we made to eachother in front of the guests...i hadn't had that much fun at work in a long time.
so...work is actually shaping up now...it isn't too bad anymore...funny how that works out. nothing really is that bad anymore.

okay...so, i might be getting a promotion at work...so, no more looking for another job...instead of being a lowly level 1, i may be soon promoted to a level 2 team-lead type person...at least i think that's how it is...it's pretty exciting. i enjoyed thursday night at work, which was kind of like a test to see how well i could be a team-lead for a night..apparently everyone "below" me did a good job and the store looked good at closing...so, hey, not bad at all.
oh, also, i'm going out on a date with a girl named celina tomorrow night, i hoping everything goes well...she's a really cool girl, and i've liked her thus far. celina is painting the sets for the play that i am in...and, well, i've had what other people call a crush, (i don't have crushes, but, i don't know what to call it)...i've had one on her for the past couple weeks since i first saw her...so, it's pretty exciting going on a date with someone that you've been attracted to since you first laid eyes on that girl. we'll see how that goes...i'm just getting to know her, that's what first dates are for...
go bruins.
go cal bears.
whoot-whoot for college football weekend!

quest-ce le dilly-o???
okay...so, life as an upper-middle class filipino kid in orange county trying to make it big as a hip-hop/pop industry impresario never gets any easier...but what kind of life does? so...yeah...i'd like to get back into the poetry thing, since i haven't really done a whole lot of it lately...either that, or get back into being a lyricist...i've had all this music in my head, but no words...it is quite frustrating when you're a songwriter. maybe i should dump the whole songwriting thing and become a full-time pimp...oh wait, i need hoes. you see...that's what i feel like: a songwriter without lyrics is like a pimp without his (or her) hoes. weird-ass metaphor, but it make sense...kinda.
anyways...
whoo...how did i get off on the pimp & hoe tangent? it's stuff like that which prevents me from being able to advertise this website on my christian youth arts team...i think their parents would flip if they saw their kids reading my site...it's not that i'm a bad person...bad people can make anything with decent content with underlying pretenses just as well as good people can make things with unruly content with good intentions.
i finally got around to making my holiday list for my family...once you get around to it, making a list of stuff you want isn't that difficult.
back to that whole poetry thing...i want to make a poetry suite...but i don't know what to make the common link. if anyone out there that is actually reading this has any ideas on central themes, that they wouldn't mind lending me, just tag me the theme.
i'm out...finally...no more random-ass tangents for me today.

so, i got on the good side of my counselor yesterday...the really good side...no sarcasm, no shit. seriously, i went into my appointment all prepared with a proposed schedule, told her i was from canyon, had all the right classes in all the right places and she loved me. so...it's all good there...now i just have the obstacle of registration...ugh.
if all goes according to plan...i'll go to school on tuesday and thursday for, like, all day...and on monday, wednesday, friday, i'll just have one morning class for my major...unless i can't work out the conflict in the evening, i might try to take that MWF class on tuesday and thursday evening and just go to school 2 days a week...with 5 day weekends (!!!).
five day weekends sounds like a nutty idea...but, i can work a shit-load if i do it. if i work a "shit-load" then i can pay off this tedious credit debt, and not end up like algernon from the importance of being earnest.
motherf_cker!! my teeth hurt!! i just got the good ol' braces tightened last night, and they've got me wearing a tighter rubber band...oh, the things i go through so i can be beautiful...right now, it's just detail work...so, 6 months, give or take 3, i'll have this geek-shit taken off of my teeth. after i get these off, maybe i'll get contacts...or not. whatever. pain is beauty...right?
it's a f_cking bitch, that's what it is.

weekend full of closure...not really, but it's kinda cool to think of it that way...well, not really. whatever.
but, yeah. after avoiding jenn for about a month and a half, i was posed with a situation where i could no longer avoid her: she approached me. after the words oh, shit popped into my head, i realized that i had to stop being a little kid about this, and actually talk to her. i told her that things got weird after she made a big deal out of our dating for one month, and how it just got weird. i also apologized for avoiding her for so long...as well as telling her that a relationship like what she was wanting isn't what i'm looking for...(truth: a relationship like that is not what i'm looking for with her. i'm an asshole, huh?). but, yeah. i really didn't like her like that, she was cool to hang out with, but...i couldn't be committed to her like she was to me...sad, but true.
it's just really weird because i'm usually the one that is in her position, where i've fallen way too hard for the other person...it was really weird being in the position where i feel unable to reciprocate what she feels for me...but, hey, what can you do? can't avoid the other person forever. the thing is, i do feel bad about it...but...on the other hand, i don't...
there's just a whole lot of weirdness that comes with a situation like the aforementioned.
new topic.
it was pretty cool talking to barbara on the phone saturday night. we hadn't talked in awhile...it was a nice catch-up thing. it was really funny hearing about the stuff that's going on with the drama kids...drama...same as usual. i'll leave it at that. i'm going to see their fall production on saturday.
i'd feel like i'm under a lot of pressure if i were in their production. they're doing the diary of anne frank. it's not a comedy, so it may not get the responses that it deserves, even if it's done well. but, also, it's a play that you absolutely cannot screw-up...because if you do, it's like you're stepping on the graves of those the play is dedicated...it just seems like shaky ground for a high school drama department to perform on...but, i think they have the potential to pull it off...so, i'll just have to see on saturday, i think...maybe friday.
yeah, aside from that...i sat alone on my ass in my house, dateless and pathetic on saturday night.
i was quite disappointed in that...i wanted to go out...but there wasn't anyone to go out with...so, i just stayed in and watched the importance of being earnest on dvd and played tiger woods pga tour 2003 on the ps2...like a geek.
but, sunday night proved to be not so bad...work was decent...and i getting together with natalie isn't an impossibilty...so, it's all good...and sarah decided to call me, and we talked for like, five minutes. so, it's all good.
one thing: don't hate me because i can't stand all the harry potter hype. i mean, it's just not for me...if it's your thing, that's cool...but, really, i could care less about the "harry potter shit" as i think i referred to it a few times this weekend...but yeah...i could really care less, but if you like it, it's cool...yeah.
