catch up time

i'm a try my best to blog about my vegas trip so here i go..

monday-went to stockton airport, started my vlog on the plane, met a nice couple on the plane, then when we landed first thing i did was hit the slot machines at the airport haha. picked up our luggage, then headed to the shuttle to take us to the car rental place. picked up the van, then got lost a little bit on the way to the hotel, rested for a bit, then headed for dinner. ate ate this chinese restaurant, then after hit first half of the strip! got my drink on with nichelle, buzzin on the way back to the hotel, bought more drinks for the hotel. that's night one.

tuesday-brunch at the buffet. hit the second half of the strip, hotel hopping, and shopping at the miracle mile shops. revisited different spots on the strip, went souvenir shopping, ate dinner, then headed out to more spots. didnt get to visit other spots like fremont street , cuz we were running out of time. around 12am, headed to henderson, nv. to pick up my friend who i met about 4-5 years ago online on MSO =) finally got to meet her in person! my best friend from another state! my best ever. picked her up, went to walmart, then went back to our hotel room and chilled for a bit till i took her home around 3. on the way home, she took me around suburbia, it was really cool, got to see the local side of lasvegas/henderson, got to see all these stores like smitihs, and vons, which we dont have here in cali, according to her its like our ralph's and longs drugs i guess. she took me on top of this hill where it has a beauitful view, of like the whole strip miles away, it was so pretty, i didnt have my camera though! fail! by the time i got back to my hotel after taking her home it was 5am, and the sun was out! haha headed straight for bed.

wednesday-flight was at 1245pm, so we had to hurry and get ready. returned the van , then ate at the airport at CPK! haha, played more slots for the last time before we boarded the plane. plane departure took forever this time! fell asleep waiting for it..woke up in the air, then landed in stockton around 2pm..picked up by my dad, took my friends home, then took a nap at home then headed to gina's house to upload pics and give her and aleena's pasalubong. and that was that. i vlogged everything, so i still need to edit them and post them up! i was just watching them all, and thers a lot of raw vegas footage! so sit tight. =)

back from vegas!

so many blogs to read, so many pics to upload so many videos to edit for vlog, so sit tight everyone..i'll be back and ready in no time! or maybe just a tad long time haha.

best ever! finally! haha =)

blogging real quick before church

havn't updated you guys in a while, so i'ma try. starting with friday, i was up at 430am to head to the bride's place and take pictures as she's getting ready and what not. i was hired as the camera man for gina's auntie's wedding. i had my video cam and digi cam just running around everywhere! so exhausting but i had fun. so yeah the ceremony was at 9, then the reception was at china palace at 1130 , o0o0weee was the reception fun. line dancing and getting my dance on with the old folks, and some young folks, lol. around 330 left to gina's house to rest cuz there was still an afterparty at the bride and grooms house! at ginas house, we were just uploading all the pics and videos, burning them on cds so we can bring it to the house. at the after party , we ate again, and chilled outside mostly, was teaching gina's kid how to ride a bike, wasn't going to well, but i tried haha. i had a beer earlier maybe that's why, haha. and then i had a craving to smoke, so i was for awhile, and i was twittering at the same time, then gina comes outside and is like wtf you doing!? so i stopped, haha. i love my evil bestfriend though, she takes care of me. left the party around 1130 headed home, cuz i had work at 7 the next morning.

so saturday, was my sister's birthday. after work, i went home, and we had a lil family thing, with a few friends, after we all ate, everyone went to diff parties, cuz there was like 3 last night! but i just went to one, my friends graduation party, drank over there, i was taking care of nichelle, cuz she could barely walk, and i had to take her to the bathroom so she can throw up. i was dancing in the garage, then saw her, i had to stop having fun to take care of my bestfriend. but then what irriated me more, was my sister gathering all this attention, cuz its her birthday and all and her friends wanted her to drink. i didnt want her to but whatever. ler her have fun, then she started crying and shit, at first everyone thought it was funny or whatever cuz she's buzzed and what not. but then she started doing and saying stupid shit, to the point where was kicking shit around in the backyard, cuz she wouldnt listen. i tried giving her water..but that didnt work, she wouldnt take it..so i told my cousin to carry her to the car, and we just bounced.

hmm, today nothing much happened yet, earlier i just dropped off gina some lunch and picked up my camera battery i left at her place. went back home to get ready for church, and here i am blogging right now and catching up on all my online communties. i'm off today, woohoo, going to vegas 2mrw!!! i cannot wait! gahhhhhhhhhhh!!! later days

finals over!

well more like final over, not finals, haha i had my final today at 8am, thanks again for my evil bestfriend ginalyn for waking me up today, i knew i was going to need it after we went drinking at BJ's last night. anyways, final went good, it was a group final, so we shared answers haha, but we did pull out a group effort. got a b+ on my paper which i bullshitted mostly, but i did do my research! i think that's what paid off, i had a good topic. after class, went straight home, took a nap, then went to run some errands, after all the errands, went back home, and now we're watching Taken again, good movie, but this is the 3rd time watching it now, everyone keeps wanting to watch it! tonight going to watch the baskeball game, lets go nuggets! and i think that's pretty much it. going to a wedding 2mrw! offical photographer=)

my feet are killing me!

haha, thought my title sounds like what a girl would say, but its true! been walking around all day at work today. started work at 3. but before work went to church then the mall as usual on my sundays. at work had a huge debate/arguement whatever you want to call it with one of my coworkers about basketball. it was really loud in the activity room, coworkers were pulling me away, cuz all surprised cuz they never saw me like that, haha, it was crazy, yet fun. just let me get my opinion out, then we all good. the whole kings/lakers issue is old, but never dies, haha. on a lighter note, can't wait to we leave to vegas! about a week to go, so excited, you dont even know. well its really hot, just like yesterday, this weekend has been in the 100s and its only may! june and july will be a b!tch. well i'm a cut this short today, gonna go watch taken on bluray! sweeeeeet. later days

what a week

the past week has been a roller coaster. emotionally and physically. i'm exhausted. i'm relieved that's coming to an end. and happy as well. yesterday we had this even at work, and i had so much fun, i love my coworkers who i'm glad to call them as friends rather than coworkers, not all my coworkers share the same relationship i have with them, and i'm close to a few of them, and i love it. a few days before was my best's 21st birthday, and we went out to celebrate at dave and buster's. at the bar i really opened up to her, and i was good and bad. i said a lot of shit that i really thought i was going to keep to myself , but after saying it made me realize what kind of shithole i was in. she made it clear that i should fix it though, so i tried. i planned everything in my head on what to say and do. DIDNT COME OUT THE WAY I WANTED. i fucked up. big time, i'm jeopardizing a friendship with a really close friend. and the days were counting down where i wouldnt be able to see this person for awhile, let alone if she'll even respond or reply to my messages. but benefit of the doubt, as long as i do what was right, things will come out smoothly. it was hard, but i did respect her wishes. i honestly didnt do what i did to annoy or whatever. that's how i am. i know they might like be known as my bestfriends, but i never opened this up, but i think i can say i have 3 "best" friends, one that is known obviously, and the other two, i can say just unfolded. wether you agree or not, you have become one of my bestfriends now. i didnt mean to give you a certain kind of attention that would of pushed you away. i in fact love to be on my phone, i message the few same ppl daily, i didnt mean anything by it. with that said, i was worried that it was coming to an end. but i know i keep saying this, but i can't stress it enough, that i DO want to start over. i want to push all that shit that ppl talk about, that ppl spread rumors about, fuck all that, and just start over. back to the day where we can just sit down eat yogurt and talk about ethics. as much as i miss all the other stuff. i WANT it to be just like that. a simple close/bestfriend kind of relationship, nothing more nothing less. i'm also glad i went out last night, for your last night. ha. let me tell you, i had soo much fun. young crowd, so i did what i can, lmao. it feels good to get out of your shell though, and just have fun! maybe a month ago, i'd still be the person, who would be sitting down in the corner, drinking soda, and watch everybody have fun, nope, not anymore. i'm excited to just have fun! woohoo! sham woohoo! lol. well i got to get ready now, its my brothers first communion today, and then i have work. later days
