Its been a while since i've updated, but i guess i'm just not a "xanga" person- i have my spurts.  I feel like theres barely enough time in a day.. especially with work.  After work, dinner, time just flies.  And the weekend goes by so quick, I barely have enough time to relax.  All this going out is making me broke =( and I am just plain exhausted.  But this Sunday I am going to a SPA and getting a MASSAGE.. I am so excited!! I really need one.

I went to Magic Mtn over the weekend- some words of advice: do not go there until school is out and the weather cools down.  Ugh i only got to go on 2 rides and the whole day was torture.  I was seriously sweating more than I sweat than when i work out when I was just standing to wait in line. 

I got my imac a couple of weeks ago..! Does anyone else have an apple computer?! Am i the only one?  Once I go Mac, I'm never going back.. to PC! hehe.. I've become such a computer nerd.  But seriously Macs have a lot of kool stuff-- well they should for the higher prices!  It looks SO good too, the flat monitor and all matching white and clear computer, speakers, keyboard, etc.  Macs and PCs are pretty different, I feel like I'm in another world so it does take some getting used to.  The graphics are incredible.  And I got a superdrive with a cd and dvd burner.  ok ok i'll stop i really feel like i'm the Mac spokesperson and i feel nerdy.  I just wanted to share my joy with u guys. 

I went to Vegas this weekend with Leor, his friend Hector, and Hector's internet girl - Nancy. Hehe. I had a blast.. a getaway was just what I needed! Friday we were almost at Vegas and then Leor realized... he forgot the Pearl Jam tickets at home!  Thank GOd for Ticket Master.  We had to wait for like an hour for it to process but at least we got in.  Saturday we went to "Rain" in Palms.. we almost had to wait in the 2.5 hour line but thank god this girl Lauren had the hook ups... whew!  Let me just say I had drank and smoked before I went so I was pretty faded when we got in... This group of guys came up to me and one guy says "My friend is getting married next week!" And I was like... "well congrats!" I noticed he was holding something in his hands..ANd he goes "Can you please roll the dice and do what it says?  .. For him?"  It was one of those large dice where you can get at a novelty store or sex store.  So being droned that I was (drunk/stoned) I rolled them... and it came out to "lick" "breast".  I was thinking later on... thank god it wasn't something too nasty or perverted!  So I did it.. I lifted up his shirt and licked his breast... LOL.  It was funny.. the guy was all shy but I think he enjoyed it. All his friends cheer and high five me and then left to find more victims.  All I have to say.. thank god he didnt have a hairy chest or anything!  The next day I was like.. Damn I must have been pretty f*ed up!  Oh, and the big man SHAQ was there too!  He's huge, towering over everyone... but that was pretty dope to see him.  So yeah..... i just want to say that i LOVE VEGAS!! I'm going again in August for a Bachorette party and I can't wait! hehe..  I was only down $60 which ain't bad at all!  OK... back to reality now, sigh....

Well this is it, my last week living at home -- cuz this Saturday I'm going to be moving out back to Irvine with Sonia.  I feel a mix of emotions about moving out.  DREAD- the actual moving part and all the work that's involved.  Moving is a hell of a lotta work! Plus we're going to be painting before we get settled in, so it's going to be a lot of labor.  SADNESS- I've actually gotten use to living at home with my family after graduating.  Not to mention saving money on rent, free food, being babied, etc.  And I think I'll miss living with my family too.  Plus, most of my friends are around the L.A. area.  Also going out is always better in L.A. (Hollywood, Sunset, etc) but I guess I can always come back on the weekends.  Everything was so convenient.  EXCITEMENT-   Gettin out of Suburbia, but also moving into another suburbia.  But at least its a new suburbia to adjust to.  Of course I'm looking foward to living on my own..! No more nagging from my parents .. and nagging from my parents.  ANd to be close to the beach is gonna be great!  It will be fun to redecorate our place too.  Sonia's a fanatic for the Home Decorating channel so I know our place will look good! Hehe.  Hopefully y'all will come and visit once we settle in.

Weekend was good, went to Century again on Saturday.  I always say I hate that place but I always go back.  Why do I hate it? Because there are a lot of non-attractive asians that look the same.  It's like they took 10 asian people and cloned them over and over.  (I know I may sound like a hypocrite because I may be talking about myself here) But it turned out alright since I saw some old friends and did meet a cutie named Mike.  Rest of the weekend was good because the LAKERS BEAT THE SPURS in game 3 and 4!  Whew...!  Lets hope they keep up the good work huh.

I went to COACHELLA on Sunday!!!   YAY!! It was so awesome.. White Stripes, Jack Johnson, and Red Hot Chili Peppers rocked!!  Even though it was hella COLD and I was freezing my ass off, it was worth it.  It was like a big rave, except better.  The only bad thing was that I almost got smushed in the mosh pit! No, like seriously literally smushed.  These big dumb drunk guys were pushing around and it was like a domino effect.  But whew* got out just in time.  It ended at 12:00 and since it was in Indio (next to Palm Springs) and there was hella traffic leaving I got home at 3:30 am.  ANd I had to wake up at 6:30 for work the next day, not to mention driving an hour to work and back! Soooooo exhausting... but It was worth it.  Sigh...  I HAVE to go again next year.  Too bad most of my friends listen to POP... boo!!     I'll have to recruit some KROQers for next year.

I've been kind of stressing at work.  My 90 day review is coming up and I've been making stupid mistakes here and there.  Like today with my Project Manager and last time with the President of the company!  Geez! But both were not my fault!  But I could've prevented the mistakes from happening.  Arghhhh!  I just feel like smacking myself in the head.

Anyway, you know what I look foward to every week? And that also relieves my stress? My kickboxing class every Thursday.  It is SO dope!! And I hate to work out!  But I've been forcing myself to and it's goin good! I think it's cuz I have a great instuctor... she's motivates the class.  But I think even after I move out of Arcadia to Irvine I will still come back every Thursday to take her class. Such loyalty huh?

Over the weekend I was in Berkeley with Peter, it was actually really refreshing to get away from LA for a couple of days.  We stayed at Peter friend's Alex's place.. and I got to visit Cassy and Kay!  It was good seeing old friends again, especially now that we're older we don't get to see each other as much because of work, school, etc.  Cassy's fiance Jon came with us too,.. and he really cracks me up! I'm happy for Cassy that she's getting married, and he seems like a real nice guy.  When will be the day I meet my prince?  Not that I want to get married anytime soon.  I know it's only been about 2 months since the break-up with Ryan, and yesterday I was getting sad again.  Missing him? Or just missing someone there for me?  I figured out what it is- I think I'm just afraid to be alone.  Like in "Jerry Macguire" where Tom Cruise can't handle being "alone", but then ends up being with Rene Zellwegger anyways.  Don't get me wrong I love "Jerry Macguire" but movies are so unrealistic.  Anyway, I think that's my problem.. the way I try to get over a guy is by moving on to the next guy.  But I think the right thing to do is to tough it out and be anti-boys for a while.  There was this one guy I met recently that I really did have an interest in.. nice, funny, cute, the whole package.. BUT (theres always a "but") he just literally got out of a 5 year relationship. And I mean literally, I just met him like the week after.  Bad timing huh? The story of my life.

Getting back from up north, I decided that I cannot wait to get out of LA.  Or should I say.... Arcadia..!! Ugh!! I feel like I am stuck in suburbia and I cannot escape!  Another movie analogy I can use (yes I know, I'm a total movie buff) is "Groundhog day" where Bill Murray relives one day over and over and can't escape it no matter what he does.  Repetition, repetition, repetition.  That's how it is for me, except it's the same week over and over - and it's really killing me, I'm suffacating!  I think i just need some change in my life, I need to see if there's life outside of Arcadia. J/k  Its not really that bad but I do really feel the need to try living somewhere else and experience new things.  In about a month I'll be moving back to Irvine if everything goes well with work.  And hopefully in a year or so I can save up enough money to move away.  And then maybe I'll have other things to do than watching movies all the time.
