Destiny and Choices

i have just made the most glorious purchase.
please, set your faces to jealous:

anyone who hasn't seen this movie needs to. it is beyond magical, imaginative, and effortless moving. it gave me the most beautiful feelings when i was a child. you have no idea how envious i was of these 2 girls.

yesterday was very... fateful.
when i arrived at Cal Poly (aka. The Devil's Toilet), i parked in the meters section and headed towards Studio 6. when i got into the CLA building, i realized that i'd forgotten my cell phone in the car. i pondered for just a second whether or not i needed my phone. something told me yes, so i went back to get it. upon my retrieval of the cellular device, i headed back towards the building. then, just as God had intended, i bumped into my Jess, whom i'd been trying to contact earlier in the day (but couldn't because her cell phone had a whack attack and had to be turned off). i caught her up on the recent "happenings", she gave her 2 cents, then we parted ways.
i brought Andy a cheeseburger combo from the awesome Nogales Burger, since he doesn't live in this area and had never had it. he liked mucho, and we had fun catching up in Studio 6. it was a trip since i used to be in Studio 6 all the time, not as a mere visitor, but as a student trying to get her shit done.
during my visit, i received a very pleasant phone call from Sean-Paul. had i not gone back to get my phone, i would've been sorry to miss it. it just so happened that he was next-door at SAC. although i decided to stay at Poly, i still got to hear about some new developments in his life.

good ol' destiny. and the world keeps on spinnin'.


today = month end at work = slow as hell.
nothing's happening.
i'm so bored!

Azusa show tonight.
i support you in your decisions & pursuits, but do you support mine?
friendship: it's a two-way street.
lose your fuckin' judgment.


Happy Friday!

Squeeze-Worthy = Plans

lately i've been making plans with people that i don't ever see.
so today, i get to visit my dear Andrew Jameson Hall while he's working at Cal Poly :)
i'm excited! we always have fun just talking talking talking.
not very stoked about being at my ex-school, though.

i might even meet up with the BFFF! how great is my life?! hahaha :)

what's even more exciting is that i get to visit my dear friend Bradley next week. Bradley and i haven't seen each other since i was a freshman in college (and he was practically graduating. haha). it has sure been a while. since his graduation, he's moved to Manhattan Beach. he lives alone, so i get to make lots of noise in his house. haha so i researched Manhattan Beach, since i'd never been there, and found that it contains 88.99% white people. OF COURSE. haha i'm going to make him take me around town. i'm totally down to hit a bar or something.

i love love love love new places :)


tomorrow is the Azusa show at Chain. yay! familyyyy, assemble!
i miss the fam all gathered together in one place.
we don't do that often anymore. :(
does it have to take a birthday to get everyone together nowadays?
but i suppose we all have other things going on...
maybe this summer, we'll be back to the way we were?
awww... the way we were.


one thing i'm grateful for is that i'm not afraid to be alone.
i don't need to always be involved with someone to feel validated.
i can find my own fun. everywhere! <3

Get Ready to Smile

let's go to the zoo.

Gloomy Days, Gloomy Daze

everyday is a reason to celebrate.


for me, the dark & gloomy sky is a reason in itself. i absolutely love it!
i don't know, i just think that when the sun's radiance is subdued, we're allowed to see the world through our own eyes with no bias. we can discover things for ourselves, rather than being pointed to a certain direction. dark days. just so darn romantic.


another reason for joy?
my credit score has gone up again. it is now at the highest it's ever been. i'm proud of myself! it's been on the rise since last summer, however, it took a small plunge from December to January (hello, Christmas!). but now i'm back :) and higher than before. it's a small victory, i understand, but i'm just darn happy about it. i know it seems like i spend a lot of money, but i always put my bills first. whenever i get paid, i put about 60% of it towards paying my credit card, then about 15% to my savings account, and the rest is spendin' money! i admit, i do cheat sometimes and spend money from my savings, but whatever :T i get paid tomorrow, which means my credit card balance will become a big fat ZERO :) hurray!

i didn't mean to blabber so long on this subject. i got excited.


i want chicken MCnuggets.
chicken MCnuggets are the best nuggets around.
why so expensive? :/ why no more Dollar Tuesdays?



adventurous, i feel.

Log of My Weekend Feb. 15-17

i had a very jam-packed weekend.

on Friday afternoon, Jenn, Mark, Nancy, and i drove to Vegas so that Jenn could give a very special surprise :) it worked. everyone was happy. and then drunk. i had lots of fun. i would've liked it better if we had made it on time to see all of MAH's set, but the rest of the night made up for it. unfortunately, we were tired as hell. it was a very mutual decision to go home, and not spend the night in the packed hotel room meant for the band & its roadies. we left after 4AM and got home at around 9. as exhausted as i was, i couldn't pass up precious Felicity time, and watched 3 episodes before knocking out.

woke up at 5PM to get ready for another MAH set at the Glasshouse. 16 fuckin' dollars for an AIDEN show, that seriously pissed me off. the Vegas show was only $14. anyway, watched MAH's set and left the place. got home at a little past midnight. more Felicity. still tired as hell from the previous day, knocked out.

meant to go to Sprinkles on Sunday, but laziness (and the not-wanting-to-drive-so-far-ness) took over. more Felicity. knocked out sometime in the afternoon, waking up at 5PM. panicked a little bit, showered, got ready. met up with Scott, went to the Glasshouse again. EMERY! sold-out show. amazing :) for being sick, they had incredible energy. it was kinda funny that a bunch of kids left after Emery played their "last" song, without having played "Studying Politics" yet. (duh.) that was cool because it freed up a lot of room for me to get excited during "Politics". and i just have to say, "Walls" was fucking intense.


speaking of shows, Dear Life got on Bamboozle Left. i'm extremely happy for them, but not too surprised. i can't wait to see what the future has in store for this band. this is their year, and hopefully Azusa and DSB will soon follow. i'm just so proud, because this is my family. i've watched these brothers for the past 2 and a half years. the progress has been lengthy, but fruitful. from being support to headliners, becoming demanded in farther & farther areas of this country, gaining respect and loyal fans within the local scene, sharing line-ups with bigger and bigger bands, and on and on and on. the thing i love most, hands down, is watching kids sing along/(yell?) to their songs. i wouldn't be sad if they don't "make it". i'm happy knowing that they're doing what they love to do, with all of the family right beside them. why else would we spend $10 each time to watch the same thing over and over again? :)


all i know is, if and when Dear Life releases a 3rd album under a major label, a certain guitarist is getting me a Vespa.
