God must want us to drink.

Nothing is ever as beautiful as having the chance to look down along the table top, seeing good friends conversing and eating together, in an event that you wished so hard to happen. That was what went through my mind as I sat down on my seat looking up for the first time.

Happy Wongsgiving.

Yesterday night was beautiful.

I like you, too.

I am currently composing this post at work right now, haha. We just opened our store and we have no customers as of yet. There's nothing else to do, I might as well blog.

Thanksgiving was nothing more than an average day for me. There was no family gathering and no turkey. Despite the absence of the cliche dinner, I managed to keep myself busy. The day started off with a wonderful game of softball with co-workers. I've recently got much closer these people, they are much more than just co-workers to me now. The game was early, but it was nice to see all these faces without having to worry about a manager catching us fooling around. Drinks were provided and it marked the earliest I had ever consumed alcohol. I found out who my secret admirer was that day. It was a great morning.

Later in the day I had a long talk with mother. The talk was nice, it was needed.

Tonight is Wongsgiving, and the preparations are 85% complete. Brian and Glenn came over yesterday around midnight to help me set up the lights. It turned out really nice, really mellow. I need to get a few more things today and tonight should be a good one. I'm just hoping for the weather to cooperate.

He punched through the wall.

He was very angry today.
Everyone was very angry today.
There is a fucking hole there now.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone else. I'll be at home wondering what went wrong.

Maybe I'll fix that hole. Maybe I'll start working on the dinner preparations.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,

but the fire is so delightful.

I'm slowly starting to get that vibe, it's pretty warm.

The annual Thanksgiving morning softball game with co-workers will be fun. The formal Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday with friends should be a comfortable time. But I hope I do get to do something with mom, even if its just a simple dinner at home.
But either way, I'm feeling pretty good.


Happy Holidays from: Michelle, Grace, David, Tami.

As far as we walked.

I miss my Honda. I wished I had a Polaroid picture of me standing next to it....too late. But I did manage to keep the chained license border before I handed him the keys. Haha, I'll always need it to remind myself that I am indeed a badass.

Thank goodness for the holidays, I am actually getting hours at work with about 30 a week. School is coming to an end in a few weeks, and my grades are looking like straight B's this quarter. I haven't been able to hang out with much friends lately, but it is only building up the anticipation for the events during the upcoming holidays.

Things I need to get done:
  • Get auxiliary cable for my Ipod to car.
  • Get preparations done for Wongsgiving.
  • Get my car fully repaired.
  • Get back at being good in basketball.

The countdown for L4D2 begins.

So Glenn came over today to finish up his homework. However, his assignment required photography this time around, so I participated. This was the result.

My beautiful Adrianna.

That's what I named my 2008 Nissan Altima.

Wow, I can honestly tell you that I didn't expect to see myself with a new car for at least another year. But here it is, a 14k pre-owned vehicle in my garage. It was a long day of dealerships and cars, but I'm glad I landed with this one. I'm going to give it a photoshoot soon, so look forward to that.

I also purchased a new phone, the Envy 3, because the old Envy decided to join my Honda and just give up on life as well. So I have a new phone and a new car. Yay, I NEED A GOD DAMN JOB.

Give me some air.

I've caught myself laughing at things that shouldn't be laughed at. Things and events that have no sense of comedy or humor still finds it way to make my smile. I've been feeling tense, and maybe laughing it off is the only way of letting it out. Just because you are smiling doesn't mean you are having a good time, but if you can force out a smile, then it won't ruin anyone else's good time.

Wongsgiving

Depending on how this one turns out, I can see it becoming a tradition in many years to come.

Extremely excited.

1998 Honda Accord V6 Ex.

You are slowly slipping away from me.

Man, we sure had some good times didn't we. It's been about 4 years since I first laid hands on you. You've taken me places that I'd never seen before, places I've never dreamed of. I've kept such a good track record with you, I had no violations or accidents.

But I think it's almost time for me to move on. I'm sorry, but you must understand the stress I am going under. You are slowly falling apart and I can't let you bring me down with you. I know I am acting selfish, but you are just not the same vehicle I once drove.

The thing is, how am I going to afford one?

"You never get angry, huh?"

There are quite a few fires surrounding Cal Poly right now. All I know is, I better not get trapped in, or else I will have to seriously kill someone.

I am currently in the computer lab right now, impatiently waiting for my four hour break to be over with. About an hour ago, I was subjected into a sociology survey/experiment. I was on a computer surfing the web, when I heard a shy "Hi" behind my back. As I turned to see who it was, the random girl had already made the move to sit in the open chair next to mine. She asked if I was able to help her with her assignment if I wasn't to busy. I usually respectfully decline those kinds of things, but seeing the fact how she saw my Facebook homepage on my computer screen, I was busted. So I agreed to help.

Out of all the studies to choose from, I would end up with the one that requires myself to be the subject of a series of photos. She told me I had to express five different facial reactions and she had to take a close up picture of each of them. A very very high invitation for Mr. Awkward.

But overall, it wasn't that bad, it was rather funny, cause apparently I have no exaggerated impressions. She was complaining on how I didn't look mad at all for the "Angry" impression. In the end, I just had to put up a very fake angry facial expression that made me look like a little boy that got coal for Christmas. Very funny, very awkward, and very different. You're welcome, Selina.

Poor Little Hubert (Part 2)















You try so hard to keep certain friends don't you? Sometimes too hard. Keep it up, maybe it's worth it somehow. I mean, if you think these people are worth all your time, then they must have impacted your life somehow.
