060307 <3
don't get me wrong though, our situation is still a bit complicated.

EXTERNSHIP = THE B.E.S.T
I lalalove externing at Dr. Lewis' office. I've been there since May 12th, and will finish the week after june 12th. pretty exciting. its been a great experience, especially since i've been able to get hands on training with pre-screening & dispensing situations. I SIMPLY LOVE IT. I'm 10x more grateful for the fact that i got a free eye exam, free pair of glasses & a renewed CLS Rx. :)

I lalalalove my phone.. all thanks for karla & ant for telling me about the new program! mhmm, and thanks to dc for installing it into my phone. i swear i am not electronic savvy with things like that. GO BUY AN iPHONE!

After almost 6months of not talking, daddy & i are okay again!
i act like it doesn't phase me, but if you know me well enough, then you know i'm super excited that me & my daddy get along again. since i was 18 we've been having so many bumps in the road... and they last for monthsss. months of not talking & looking at each other. its childish, but everyone knows we just care alot about each other. heck, i'm a daddy's girl :)

anyway. time to go.

SOMEONE BUY ME A BLACK NINTENO DSi & A PAIR OF TOMS. PLEASE?!

a second chance.

If i had the chance, i would've stayed instead of walking away.

Who would've thought that one selfish decision would change everything.

the HYPE... AND other thaaangs.

So within this year, i've joined: BLOGSPOT. FACEBOOK. & NOW TWITTER. haha. LIKE WOW. idk. i get bored, i need several different things to keep my attention span goinggggg.

its 3:36AM & my stupid iphone is taking FOREVER to "back up." like wtf. doin' all this work just to get SOME cds & SOME ringtones on my phone. it just ain't worth it! .. kinda. i'm just tryna make sure my iphone is better than DCbaybeh's. HAHA its always a competition between the two of us. WHATEVS. i'm gonna win =]

since last night, all i want to say is: LOVE DOESN'T SUCK... that bad. haha, i'm just an indecisive female. i feel bad for DC sometimes... he's the one who suffers most from my indecisive ways. =]

work schedule for the next few days:
thurs: 1-8:30pm. fri: OFF! sat: 8-5pm NCLE prep class, then straight to work until 9:30pm. sun: 11:30-6:30pm. mon-wed: 4-8:30pm (i think.)

shoot me in my head. i'm gonna be exhausted & cranky!
another negative is: babyboo will be in SL for another 4days straight. bleh.

mmkay. BYE!

thegood&thebad.

THE GOOD:
Tomorrow is my LAST DAY of book work for my optical program. mhmm, just can't wait. no more vocabulary quizzes, weekly unit quizzes, and the-end-of-the-month finals. its been a crazy 7 months of straight book work & studying. never thought i'd see myself at the end of the program, on the Dean's List every month. iono, never did this good in school before. i guess you can say i'm done having a "job" & am ready for a "career." even though i'll be done with book work, i'll still have to go back to school every day until i finish my labs. then i'll get to start my externship. FML. but on a brighter note: SEE ME GRADUATE ON JUNE 12TH! :)

THE BAD:
LOVE SUCKS.

Thirteen years.

For thirteen years my family & I had a rottwieller (sry I still can't spell that word), and she just recently passed away on Saturday, the 4th. I don't know what to say or how to feel about it. She was a part of the family, everyone always remembered topanga & never failed to ask how she's doing. It's kinda weird to walk into the garage or even look into the backyard and know that she isn't going to come running into my direction. I've been really detached from the situation, just feeling like I shouldve seen it coming, when in reality it caught me off guard and threw my world in a whirl wind. I don't like knowing that she's gone. I hate the thought of it. She wasn't just a family pet, she was a family member. I'm really not trying to be dramatic, it's just that I practically grew up with her. My family got her when I was seven, and now I'm twenty-one. Anyone who has had pet for that long would too feel at least a little hurt, if not a lot. It's hard to adjust without her, I'm just expecting to hear her scratch her nails against our sliding door, or hear her bark when an unfamiliar person is approaching the house. Bleh. I feel like crying...

Its been awhile.

Life's been pretty gooood lately. I really can't complain.
After Monday i'll officially have one month left of schooling (book work), then one month of externship after that. never thought an 8 month program would fly by thisss fast. i'm honestly proud of myself for sticking through it; driving to citrus heights from sac every monday - thursday, for a 10-3pm class. i'm just dedicated to getting my job over with, and starting a career :)

It'll be sad to leave Hallmark though. No joke. I know it sounds lame & all, but DANG, i was there forever. it was my first real job, and been my only real job since i started working at 17. crazy right? Made some good friends since i've been there. i guess you can say i'm grateful that a few of them weren't just my coworkers, but also my friends. :)

Getting back in touch with old friends always gives me a complete feeling.
For instance, a friend of mine from junior high recently found me on myspace. i know its normally not that big of a deal, but this guy was one of my best friends. i lost touch with him for about 2-3 years, missed him like crazy. so the fact that he found me made me feel more complete. he's just one of those people who i automatically clicked with, it didn't take time to trust him, get to know him, blah blah blah. it all just happened, i guess.

One of my best friends since junior high recently turned 21. Holy geeeez makes me feel like time is flying by too fast. One minute she & i were in the 7th grade, the next minute we're 21. I practically grew up with her. she was there through first boyfriend, basketball team phase, high school years, and even watching certain people of my family grow up & have kids of their own. She's one of those people you can lose touch with for months, then out of no where call each other and end up having a non-stop talking conversation for like an hour. she's a real example of a true friend.

tomorrow is bongbong's 3rd birthday party.
i absolutely love family get togethers. i'm going to most def take plenty of kodak moments. the party will be at a jump house, so you know i gotta wear my cutesy hello kitty toesy socks. haha. then another night of drinkin' with the cousins. can't wait. its just lame that DCbaybeh will be in SL, handling family business. i can't hate on that, there's always next time. :)

anyway. i'm done. my mind is going blank trying to think of things to say.

21 & TAHOE?! wtfffff...

KHRISTINE IS TWENTYONE.

FINALLY!

Spent my birthday with most of the best people in my life.
Cousins came through to the house, including the boyfriend =] They played Street Fighter on PS3, like a happy lil bunch of kids. Afterwards, went to BevMo, picked up a bottle of X-Rated (THANKS BABES) & Patron (THANKS BROTHER BEAR). Waited at Joe's Crab Shack for all the cousins, and favorite co-workers to show up.

i lalalalove Joe's Crab Shack! Can't stress it enough.
Had an Adios Mother-Fxcker as my first drink, then worked my way through a margarita, and some of Ant's long island ice tea. DELISH.

then ended the night at my bf's house.
drank. drank.drank.
pictures. pictures. pictures.

FINALLY GOING TO TAHOE THIS WEEKEND!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FEBRUARY BABIES! =]

i feel lalalovedddd.

VALENTINE'S DAY WEEKEND WAS TOO CUTESY.

A week ago i surprised my boyfriend by decorating his room with hearts strung on string from the ceiling, "i love you" printed latex balloons every where on the floor, iron-on pictures on two pillow cases and printed then taped photos on two of his walls. It came out pretty cutesy if ya ask me. Thanks to babylisa for helping me decorate & plan the surprise. =]

It honestly made me wonder if my boyfriend was going to surprise me in return. I know, i know, don't give in order to receive. You're right. But sometimes a girl, well anyone, can't help but have that thought in the back of your head. Its expectations. I got too many of them when it comes to my boyfriend.

So, through out the whole week of Vday, i kept hinting & hinting my boyfriend about any surprises, blah blah blah. I honestly felt like maybe i wasn't getting through to him, so eventually i just gave up. The day of Vday came, and i worked the morning shift from 10-5pm, pretty lame.. i know. But whatevs. I got home, showered, got ready until my boyfriend called, asking suspicious questions:

DC: babe, where are you?
ME: at home, why?
DC: oh ok, where are your parents?
ME: at the house too, why?
DC: like specifically, where?
ME: uhh.. livingroom & bedroom.
DC: oh alright, well HURRY UP AND GET READY!

So i hung up, too confused about what just happened. I continued getting ready, then 10 minutes later its my boyfriend calling, again.

DC: babe, look outside your window.
ME: huh? look outside my window?... uhh, okay.
ME: i don't see anything! wait, whats that on the walkway??
DC: i don't know. go look. HURRY.

So i walk outside my house to see a dozen + 1 red roses in a vase, with a card. I quickly went to my boyfriend's car & thanked him. I hurry up and got back in the house to read the Vday he got for me. Now for those of you who don't know, getting a card from DC really means a lot from me. He's not exactly the best at expressing his feelings, so i try and hint him to just get a card, if that'll make things easier for him.

Once i was finally done, i got in the car, and the next thing i know we're driving to SF for dinner. We're a simple couple, so dinner at the bread bowl factory/restaurant was good enough for me. I'm such a loser, i don't even know the name of the place. We got to the place, ordered clam chowder in a bowl to only find out that they were out of bread bowls? like wtf? haha, for reals? so instead they charged us $1.00 cheaper for each meal, and gave us a huge slice of bread to make up for it. As DC finished eating, he got up to throw away his paper plate.. then as he walked back, he surprised me with an engraved necklace with our initials & the date we got together. On the back it said I'll Love You Always Babes. Dannnng, was i blushing x32648189. DC has never surprised me like that. I honestly never seen that coming.

We ended the night with usuals from san leandro.
Too much fun, minus a few things that came up.

BUT ANYWAY.
Let's fasssst forward this & say:
I'LL BE 21 ON SUNDAY! CAN'T CAN'T CAN'T WAIT!!
then the following weekend:
TAHOE FOR 3 DAYS & 2 NIGHTS! =]

Valentine's Day surprise... A week early?

So, the boyfriend was out of town last weekend, which made it the perfect time for me to decorate his room for Valentine's Day. Good thing I have a key to the house, I avoided the hassle of making sure Kuya Richard would be home :)

The day started on Saturday afternoon, at the house, with Babylisa & my brother. Uploaded the pictures on Walmart.com. Eventually made our way to Walmart, to pick up the pictures, a roll of yarn, and an 8x10 frame for only $2.00 =] I lalalaloved it. Then went to Michael's to get iron-on paper, and two posterboards. Brotherbear bought two Wii games @ gamestop, and Babylisa spoiled me with a white mocha + caramel sauce. =]

Went home and handled business. Designed the two main pictures to iron, and saved the others I'd iron on too. Rearranged the pictures on the posterboard to make the shape of a heart, thanks to lisa for the idea. It came out pretty cutesy! So anyway! Let's fasssst toward this story! Went to babe's house, decorated his ceiling with hearts strung down. Used my own oxygn to blow up latex balloons, and had lisa's help printing then ironing the pictures onto two pillowcases. Overall it came cutesy x7374728.

I'll post pictures later.

Once babes got home, and seen it... He was confused. LOL I put on the door (before opening it) "a week before valentine's day, and you just had a heart attack?!" so when he opens it all he'll see hearts everywhere =]

Once again I'll post pictures later, and update this too. This blog was lame & straight to the point. K bye!

me + cousins + alcohol = FUN! =]

It was my brother's first weekend back from the Air Force,
and what's a better way to celebrate it than drinking? =]

Mhmm, and drinking with my cousins doesn't happen often.
Heck. it was the first time I drank with Kuya Francis, Kuya Bryan, & my brother.
Might as well take advantage of the moment. =]

I'm not gonna lie though, i'm not much of a drinker,
and it doesn't take much to get me drunk. =]

& my brother's "Woo Woo" drink was the hit of the night!
I thought i'd like henn + hpnotiq shots, but pssh...
Smirnoff Vodka + Peach Schnapps + Cranberry Juice = YUMMM! =]

What's next?
Drew's 20th.
Then MY 21st.

Lets doooooo it! =]]]

Let me introduce myself...
