"Everybody, try to go to the camera!"

 Earlier this month I went Ice Skating with Kayla and a few coworkers in Stockton (surprised they didn't shut that place down) after delicious soup and sandwich at Boudin SF. I'm worse at Ice Skating than Roller Blading xD! Samielyn suggested that each month, we have a coworker hangout where we have food and do something fun. I'm always down for that.

I guess Samielyn is already inviting coworkers to my birthday party month next month, which is fine with me but it's up to them to get themselves transportation and not to be harsh, but I'm just used to coworkers flaking about events like this. So if they show up, great! If not, it won't affect my day. My closest buddies are gonna ride with me to Sky High Sports and Dave & Busters for my Birthday!

I'll post an FB event I suppose after the holidays are over. Last thing I wanna think about is my birthday as I have enough on my plate already ( except food ;] ).

Because right now I haven't had much to eat, nor has my sleeping schedule been in tact as I've been ridden with the stomach flu. I had to call into work for it today. Nothing like puking all over a bathroom at 2:30am. I just hope I rid of it before Christmas Eve and Christmas day and before I and my babe's 6 months together on New Years Eve at JEELZ next party.

I need to finish my lovely UTENA la fillette révolutionnaire marathon with Kayla when I'm feeling better.

Holidaze is amazing though >_>

Who's gonna save the world tonight?

Saturday morning I picked up Eddy and and got Prizm a new windshield wiper and some Aldabertos and headed up to Morgan Hill to my cousins for the annual combined Thanksgiving/Christmas. It was the first time I had driven to it and we beat my parents up there. We got there and I watched Eddy play some Chess and we played Rummikub (I won the first two rounds!) and things till dinner was ready.

My 2nd Thanksgiving Dinner was very delicious! Eddy fell asleep in front of the fireplace afterward lol 

While I played Santa ;]

I watched Xmen with my aunt and cousins :] Then Eddy and I crashed in the living room watching stuff on my laptop before falling asleep.

The next morning I woke up and had poached eggs, bacon, OJ and toast and my aunt Christine took us to the Farmers Market in San Jose, along with my cousins Caty, Joanna, Abby and her husband Will. 

Eddy bought me a chocolate danish and we stopped by Rocket Fizz and checked out the weird novelty sodas.

He wanted to be my hero :] but for $36 he couldn't be :[

We ended up buying these sodas:

(The Zombie Brain Juice was the best one to me lol)

Then we went to a used bookstore with a lot of interesting books. I wanna do 101 things with Pancake mix

And the cutest cat came over to snuggle with me on my lap! Very affectionate :3

We came back to the house, and I showed Eddy the chickens and backyard. He fell asleep on the couch in the other living room (2 jobs messing up his sleeping schedule) and my aunt invited us to spend the night again and we did. My aunt gave me a nice spa pampering kit. We had delicious leftover turkey sandwiches and I fell asleep watching Back to the Future part 2.

We got beds that night since everyone else was gone and my aunt left us the key to her house, so in the morning after we left, we stopped at Sky High Sports in Santa Clara. It's an indoor trampoline place.

xD It's' fun jumping up and I ran across all the trampolines and exclaimed to Eddy I felt like I was almost flying, then I faceplanted after x__X

But non the less, I wasn't too hurt and we also dived into foam pits, played dodgeball and after an hour of jumping, I played DDR. Well I believe I burned my calories for the day ;] We went back home and took a short nap and Eddy left for work while I came home.

I have 5 more days of freedom. Hmm what else shall I do for the week? It's nice to not have to do anything!

/sigh money matters and opinions

The infamous "if I was rich instantly" idea.

*I'd pay off all my current debt first thing.
*I'd pay off all my families debt (my mom has a ton in medical bills).
*Depending how much money I had, I'd hire a person to help me invest/control it.
*I'd buy a new car, either a Camaro or Chevy Volt. Custom made.
*I'd completely renovate the house I'm in now for my parents. Like tear it down, re-landscape it and build a new one on the ground.
*I'd buy myself a reasonable nice house in the bay area for me and Eddy to move to and a couple room mates? (Who wants to live with us for a lil bit? Kayla, Kate, Jill?)
*I'd buy Kayla and her mom a house and help take care of the family ranch/well.
*I'd have a big party and cater L&L Hawaiian BBQ 
*Get everything on my wish list, which is expensive to me now but would be knocked out in a day ;D
*Finish my education, fully paid for, maybe live in the dorms somewhere and look for a good job I can invest into.
*I wouldn't stop working, but I'd rather find a job I much enjoyed compared to Slave-mart.

If only.

Its amazing how people in the United States are programmed, or told in our western society that the goal is to become rich. Or get a job that makes you rich. Where as Japan and a lot of other country's, retail and other jobs aren't as frowned upon. Each person is important, emphasizing the wheel can't turn without the spokes. Of course in other countries, a lot of things are more expensive but the minimum wage is also way higher. 

I don't want to be so filthy rich that I become greedy or inhumane. Rather, I'd like more money to live a lifestyle that I wish I could have lived growing up that more fortunate people live. Also to help out my parents, because I hate seeing my dad stress so much everyday and having to work so hard after retirement to keep us afloat. Nothing like hearing bill collectors calling the house all the time and seeing your parents go to a lawyer to avoid bankruptcy. Nothing like being dragged out of bed at 8am so your dad can take you to Golden 1 to withdraw your savings of $500 to get to $3k so he can pay a bill immediately. I had no idea what had happened that day. I'm scared to ask.

Then it sucks to hear your best friend has to pay so much to take care of her parents. And wishing you could do something to help her, on top of wishing you could already help yourself and your own parents. 

Growing up, it didn't feel like this. When Bill Clinton was in office, it felt like even if people were poor in the early 90's they were happy and people had money to do things. 

 Even if I can't get rich instantly, I really strive to make a good living one day, that I make enough to take care of my basic needs, to pay all my bills, and not have to worry so much and also to afford decent entertainment and have good friends and family over. You know, just enough to make life really good.

And I do have a pretty good life now as bad as it can be at times. As much as I feel I'm at my breaking point. I see others less fortunate than me and it pushes me more deep inside that i need to be thankful for what I already have and be even more determined to get where I wanna go. I don't know if I'll be able to do that staying in Stockton...

So as much as I believed 2012 was a year of change, I think I also had a lot of fun this year and I believe that 2013 will be more stressful, more goal/work orientated to get me, where I need to go. 


Also I found it funny that Savemart responded to my idea:

 Because it would be nicet o feel more comfortable at work. We look like Burger town workers, not "professional"

Ghosts Of Paraguay

One thing I love is how Eddy and I randomly burst out into song lyrics.

Like one day I was telling him how I enjoy the fact that we sing together. Our conversation went like this:

Karissa: I love the fact that we randomly start singing random lyrics together.
Eddy: You do?
Karissa: Yes.
Eddy: Ok, well I'll stop doing it then?
Karissa: But why?!?! I enjoy it!!!
Eddy: I'm not gonna sing with you anymore.
Karissa: WHY?!?!
Eddy: ♫ Oops I did it again... ♫

Sometimes it doesn't always work though but then again this wasn't in person:

I share my royal oats with you, and readjust my attitude

Friday night, I picked up Eddy, Kate and Samielyn and we met up in the S-mart parking lot with Siu, Sadaf and Sajjad. Then we went over to Chick-fil-A in Elk Grove for a delicious dinner.

It was Samielyn's first time trying Chick-fil-A and Kate had never had the sauce there before xD 

We all went to King's Skate afterward to go roller skating.

I got a pair of Roller Blades and I haven't done this in 11 years so I was skating pretty baad xD at first. I fell twice, once in the lobby going really fast and one time off the bench xP I didn't fall on the rink at all even though it was more slippery. Sometimes I felt like I was loosing my balance and I worked quickly to regain it. It gave me a good work out lol

The skating rink employee's had us play lots of games. Eddy won most of them and would come back with a Pepsi or Ice cream or something. o_o I got a flashing smily face thingy thanks to him. Oh and they played Gangnam Style on the rink of course :3

The next day I had off, so I took Kayla with me to see SKYFALL 007 in Manteca theater and we met up with Chris and some of my friends there. Then afterward, we ate at Billie Hill's Hillbilly BBQ in downtown Manteca 

The owner had us sample 10 different BBQ sauces. Haha Kazumi got burnt out after 2 of them. I don't blame her. I could barley taste the difference of the last 3. A few tasted pretty good though.

The Chicken sandwich I had was DELICIOUS and the place was unique, so I plan to bring other people to try it.

Then Kazumi and I went back to her house and chillaxed. But I needa look for Utena so we can watch it. Oldschoool style!

Lets make AWESOME happen!

Kazumi and I saw Wreck it Ralph and it's a great movie! Oh man I loved the video game references, I loved (spoilers) Sonic talking about how to be safe on the screens in Game Central Station in his actual voice/style. The plot twist was cool xD I wanna see it again.

Then yesterday Kazumi and I went to Ono Hawaiian BBQ and walked around Trinity Parkway for a bit. I bought some comfy slippers at Bed Bath and Beyond and weighed myself on all the scales and realized I'm getting fat haha so I needa work on my diet. But other than that, nothing much to buy cause I'm trying not to spend anything with major purchases up ahead. Though it would be really cool to have a Rattlesnake statue hold a bottle of Vodka or something for me ;D

Woo Happy V for Vendetta day, well that was yesterday now. But Eddy asked me to be his date to the Halo 4 launch and I don't play Halo but I love Gamestop midnight launches and games in general so why not? I'm so glad I went because Eddy and I ended up doing the Gangnam Style dance that the DJ blasted and I even crawled underneath Eddy as he pelvic thrusted for the elevator scene so Selena gave him a shirt and I got tattoos. 

Then after dancing and tweeting to the DJ for a few hours, they held a Gangnam Style dance competition in the parking lot. I actually tried to follow the dances that I could remember in time to the music in my head but Eddy and I worked together and we won the Halo 4 digital countdown display :] and several guys were asking Eddy about the poster in line and he was like "I won it cause of her" pointing at me. Awww <3

So no Halo 4 game for me but Eddy gave me his shirt of it. I had lots of fun.

I'm doing a raffle on FB to give away a gigantic 5 lb Hershey's Chocolate bar. Just felt like doing a lil contest or something when I saw that, actually Kazumi pointed the Hershey bar out at K-mart and took a pic of me with it. That thing is huge and 12000 calories. I wouldn't even TRY to eat it. It's just amazing.

So I'm giving one or two of these chocolate bars away as a Christmas gift when I do the raffle in a few days and I'll record the names going into a bowl and the drawing so it's not like rigged or anything.

Voting tomorrow. I'm voting for Obama because Romney is an idiot. And no on prop 32. That's about all I know.

Corn Maze

Soo looking at my car stats, I figured out. If I do drive across country at approx 2,796 miles to NC, at today's price of gallon of lets just say $4, it's gonna take me (rounded up) nearly $400 of gas to get to NC. That's on the average and without any detours.

@___@

Friday night I went to Jill's to drink but I didn't drink much that night and had more fun playing Cards Against Humanity. It's Apples to Apples, but better.

Yesterday, Eddy and I headed to his dad's house and we had BBQ food and then went to Del Osso Family Farms. We went in the haunted house first and I could barley move because Eddy's sisters were clenching onto my wrist the entire time and kept their head down moving slowly. Eddy and I lead they way and we were trying to walk faster but they wouldn't let us. That house didn't even scare me.

Then the corn maze. We didn't get very far and it was pretty hot. We went in the entrance and we ended up coming out the entrance. Didn't get to go on the bridge inside the maze. I would have loved to do the rope course or zip lines but oh well, the place was packed and expensive.

Maybe I'll get to go back for the Holiday version at the end of November or sometime December to go Ice Skating and see the pretty lights and hopefully it will be a lot colder!

I enjoy cold weather :3

Kippu!

 Yesterday I got hit on by a bum at the car wash while cleaning out my car in the morning x_X He came over to my window as I was leaving and said "I enjoyed watching you clean out your car, but I'm not a pervert or anything." Umm, yes you are...

I then picked up Kate and Kayla, got breakfast and cash out at S-mart and we headed up to San Francisco. The GPS took us to a one way street ACROSS from the parking garage. Cmon stupid devices, srsly? But we got there ok.

We hit up the Auto freak store first and Kayla and I bought air fresheners for our cars. Then we went to play Taiko no Tatsujin (Taiko Drum Master) in the arcade, Pika Pika Purikura for a picture set and we headed over to Kippu Japanese Cuisune across the street for my Chicken Teriyaki and Miso soup. I actually tried a lil bit of sushi rolls and they weren't too bad. I swear my taste buds are starting to change these last few months tremendously. I like really hot foods now (no, I'm not preggorz).

 Doesn't that hurt your eyes?

Then we went to Daiso and Ichi Ban Kan for our dollar goodness. It's like a Japanese version of a dollar store but waaay better than any american dollar store I've ever been to. This is where i spent a good chunk of my money on cute stuff like this:

 (click to enlarge, as always)

Then we visited Kinokunya, where Kayla enjoyed her Yaoi moments and I desired a haircut by that hot Asian man. But that beauty salon is expensive (women's haircut is $65 and up) so maybe next time I come?

We went to a few more stores after having Sophie's Crepes. My favorite Crepe is always the Vanilla Ice cream with whipped cream, banana's and chocolate syrup.

 Those two always have those expressions xD

Then we headed home to Big Mike's house to help him set up internet and Kayla picked up her mail. Then In N Out and I fell asleep while watching a Halloween show then took Kate and myself home near 2am.

I can't wait for Halloween and yet I don't even know what I'll be doing that night.

Lone Wanderer

 (Taking a break from shopping with Lemonade lol)

On Saturday Kazumi and I went shopping all day long @_@ I didn't want to spend, but I bought that Skeleton Hoodie I wanted last year at Hot Topic but they ran out of my size so I finally got it for this year. I also got some discounted shirts at Rue21, a pen at Hobby Lobby, and some stuff at Ulta Beauty.

Today I redeemed most of my Mystery Shopping points from Savemart connection for a $25 gift card to CVS. Free makeup ;]

Tomorrow Eddy and I are running to the mall early to try to find a clear stud for my lip piercing and I'm gonna try on a dress that I wanna order for Halloween. Also maybe I can get those black skinny jeans at Macy's. After a short shift at work, I plan to have dinner with Kazu, Eddy and Chan again.

How did you know?

On Sunday after work, I picked up Kayla and took her to Applebee's where Eddy and Chan held a table for us for 2 hours lol;; Apparently they won a display at the Vanguard tournament. After Kayla and I went to CVS, Wal-mart and random places and then to Eddys house to look through the cards we just bought.

Eddy twisted his ankle so I went to Tracy without him yesterday to hang out with JEEL who bought us some Tequila to try and we just played a lot of Pokemmo and stuff. Trying to get my Eevee into an Espeon. XD

TILT

This past weekend, Edwin took me to Tracy to stay at JEELS and also to meet his dad's side of the family. After chilling all day Friday playing games and molesting Cory, I ended meeting Eddys' dad's side and they were all very nice, including his little sister Fiona who kept starring at me but eventually warmed up. XD we ate at Golden Corral and indulged in dipping strawberries into the chocolate fountain for dessert. 

Afterward, Eddy, his sisters and I went to the mall and we played at TILT arcade for awhile. I bought Fiona some Pokemon cards as well as for myself and Eddy bought 3 decks. After we went to a birthday party at Hometown Buffet (first time I ate at two buffets in one day in my life), Eddy and I took Fiona around the mall and we joked around in the Spirit Halloween store, looking at costumes and stepping on the buttons for the animatronic monster displays. We carried her around the mall via piggyback and helped her mom pick out her dress for April's wedding.

Finally Eddy and I went home to retire and we played Pokemon with Aaron, a 3 way battle and found out one of the decks was very broken/OP. A lot of the weekend consisted of watching them all play Pokemmo (< link) in which I discovered and they have all bypassed me very fast. I'm still on the S.S Anne xD

Basically Pokemmo is playing Fire Red for GBA but online with hundreds of other people. Growlithe is my strongest so far, which Eddy nabbed for me in a giveaway :3

On Tuesday, Eddy and I had the day off and we ate at Tommys Cafe and watched the new Resident Evil Retribution. Which, like all Resident Evil movies was inconclusive and not that great XD; But Wesker is best president ;]

Intoxicate me now, with your loving now.

Eddy took me for a nice bike ride around Oak Grove Park. We played on the playground, chased Geese and sat in the shade to relax and drink Guava. It felt nice to just run around in nature for a few hours with no one else really around.

We wanted to go on the paddle boat and visit the nature center but we have to come back on a weekend sometime for that.

One night while I was closing at work, Eddy came after he got off work and waited two hours for me to get off at midnight. Just so we could go to Aldabertos and get burritos and then go to his house and gaze at the stars on the back of his truck.

But we ended up sleeping on the back of his truck all night. I woke up cold to a blinding sun. It was quite a different experience XD

He didn't want his picture taken lol

Norcal to North Carolina

I had a red-eye flight on August 19th at 10:20pm and ended up in a middle seat =/ for about a 7 hour flight from Sacramento to North Carolina. Couldn't sleep cause of that. But I made friends with the lady next to me on the plane. Finally, when I decided to bust out the PSP, the plane landed shortly after. I was restarting my game file on Star Ocean 1.

My brother and Alley picked me up and took me to Waffle House-which was delicious and cheap. Immediately, I noticed how green and country like North Carolina was and that it was humid (my brother said that humidity then was nothing compared to how it normally is) and was raining hard on and off. 

My brother Kevin and Alleys house.

I took a long nap the first day. Can't remember much of the first night. I know I got to see a bunch of random stores like Family Dollar, and ate at Outback Steakhouse where I noticed how often "Ya'all" was said. I got my lip re-pierced on Tuesday morning and that same night we watched people sing Karaoke at Kickback Jacks after Spice World on TV.

A good amount of time, my brother and I spent burning Sega Saturn games because he got a modded Sega Saturn on Craigslist. I swear that was one of my most favorite systems growing up. I finally got to play Christmas NiGHTS after 15 years of waiting (it's a rare demo to find). 

Alley did my hair on Thursday. It was the first time I've had my hair professionally dyed at a salon (been doing it myself for years) and the first time I've had real highlights. I lurve it so far. Got a lot of compliments on it at work! :]

Shopping at Food Lion for my party Friday before my brother had to take me to the airport about 2am in the morning.

I was really sad to leave. The only people that make it worth returning home for was my parental units, Kayla and Edwin. Everything else, I could honestly leave here behind in a heartbeat. There's nothing left for me to learn/do in Stockton.

So now I must weigh decision in the back of mind everyday, of if I wanna move out there next year or not.

Eddy and I went river rafting the next day Sunday on Stanislaus River. It was a LOT of work compared to American River. The American River, you can just float there on the raft 98% of the time and just drift and nothing will really ever happen. At Stanislaus, if you aren't constantly paddling with the oars every 2 minutes, then you will hit some sharp bushes, sharp rocks, get stuck on rocks etc. And it had a lot more rapids. No wonder Jill told me she didn't wanna go back to that river. It was still fun though.

The raft hit a rock at one point early on, we ricochet'd so hard that I fell off. Eddy's family had to grab me. The camera I had clutched went under the water in the rapids and surprisingly sunk straight to the bottom. Rodney had to stop the rapids as much as he could by positioning our raft and reach deep for the camera in ice cold water which took awhile. I felt bad, I would never want anyone to risk their life for my camera, but at least he got the camera back. I still have yet to test it but at least I got all our camera pics and footage prior to that happening.

You crack the whip, shapeshift and trick the past again.

My date in Manteca  last Thursday was a lot of fun. Edwin and I had bottomless Rootbeer Floats at Red Robin (although I only could drink one) with the most awesome waiter who had a bunch of nifty pens and he gave us one to keep and we saw The Bourne Legacy. Later that night, Eddy took me to his friends Chris and Brandon's and I watched them take turns playing The Slenderman computer game while I watched various movies like Scott Pilgrim which I haven't watched in awhile.

 

 This is my favorite song from that movie

Last night after work, I rushed home and ended up taking Kate and Bun Bun to Kayla's house and we had pizza and watched The Hunger Games, then ended up talking till like 4am. 

This morning, Edwin picked me up and treated me to breakfast at Mimi's Cafe. I'm gonna miss him for the week I am in North Carolina and I know he'll miss me too. I know the week will go fast though!

Vacation always goes fast!

My brother already started a Facebook event party for me before I leave at the end of my stay xD

My flight leaves at 10:20 tonight from Sacramento Airport. I needa start packing now!

Don't be drunk enough to step over the gate. What?

I had fun river rafting last Saturday on the American River :]

We all ate at Chick-Fil-A afterward, though I assure you, it has nothing to do with what's going on with Chick-fil-a in the news. That place is just really delicious!

Plan to go rafting again with my boyfriends family on the 26th at a different river, the day after I come back from my vacation!

Tomorrow I gotta drop by S-mart and make sure I'm on vacation, get my plane ticket for North Carolina, then Edwin and I will check out a new-ish shop in Manteca called 'Gamers Path' and head to the movie theater, then go on a picnic at Oak Grove!

Saturday, The Hunger Games comes out so after work, Kazumi and I are gonna watch it!

My heart will go on

I had a blast at Six Flags last Wednesday :] 

Saturday, I took Kate to SnB and worked on my The Darkness poster and started coloring it in.

 Then after playing with Taiko and some board games, Eddy and I went out to Sonic late at night and then visited Wal-mart. He bought Pokemon Conquest and we took turns playing it while bundled up in blankets on the back of his truck and gazing randomly at the stars.

Then yesterday, I went and visited Kayla and took her to her hair appt at Sir Gaauan's. Then we did a bit of shopping and went to Ono Hawaiian BBQ for dinner and got drinks at Sonic. Then we goofed around and talked till 3:30 in the morning.

Tomorrow I open at work at 6am so I should go to bed as soon as I can @_@

Partay at JEELZ

I have so much to catch up on as of late. 

I feel spoiled lately cause well my bestie got me a Sailor Saturn shirt from Hot Topic.

 And Eddy randomly dropped by one day outside my house and gave me L.A Noire after I said i was gonna buy it the day before plus a dvd and some tokidoki figures. I really wanna finish L.A Noire when I find the time, it's a great game!

Kate had her birthday on the 14th and we all played Apples to Apples & Rockband.

Then this past weekend I spent the night at Jill's on Friday night after i got off work and stayed there till Monday morning. I fell asleep watching Pokemon white movie while laying against Eddy. On Saturday I helped Eddy and Mark clean the hot tub and went to shower afterward. Somehow I felt really sick right afterward. Eddy found me ibuprofen and opened all the windows and turned on the fans and kept holding me, trying to make me feel better. When he left the room, I finally went and puked in Aaron's toliet and I instantly felt better lol;; then I had a headache and laid around for awhile.

My headache persisted until the party started that night and went away after my first shot of Vodka. I bought a bottle of Smirnoff Whipped Cream Vodka at Save mart. Everyone really liked that stuff and it went fast! Eddy mixed it in with Cherry Vanilla Pepsi next and it was really good! 

I felt like I really connected with Michie and Michelle and some others and they told me what they had thought of me the last few years and what I was going through and how well I learn stuff on my own after struggling through hardships. And how much of a good friend I am to them. Maybe it was the alcohol talking but that night, it felt like a lot of people really cared for me, much more than I really ever expected them to.

I close everyday this week at Slavemart. I don't really care though. I rushed to Wal mart tonight after work to get dye because my hair roots bother me so much!

I should start on dyeing my hair now at 1:30am cause I have to be up at 7am and Im driving everyone to Six Flags Vallejo tomorrow from Hayward. I hope we can get there when it opens at 10:30 and stay till 8pm.Then Chick-Fil-A afterward.

Edwin :]

I remember when I first met you at one of Jill's partys. It was in the Summer and we had talked about where we wanted to go into life. Then you encouraged me to chug a Jager bomb xD I still have that video on my iphone.

Another night later on, I fell asleep on Aaron's bed and when I randomly woke up, you were playing League of Legends in the same room the entire night. All I heard was "*click* *click* *click* *click*" on the computer mouse frantically nonstop for hours. And I didn't say a word about it xD

That next day, we went rafting on the American River. After the craziness of the rapids rescue, you ended up on another raft and when we all settled later on a bank to relax for a bit, I volunteered to go get you from the people who's raft you ended up on. I don't know why I had volunteered to get you, but I doggy paddled over to you and convinced you to come back to our raft for the rest of the trip. I remember later after I had mud wrestled some girl, you extended your hand to help me up out of the water after I had washed off. :]

I remember being in the hot tub one night and telling you and Jill's friends about various bad things that had happened to me at work and what I had been through and you had the most serious concerned look on your face during my stories like you couldn't believe everything that I have dealt with.

Then after adding me on Skype (due to LoL i suppose), you asked if you could come along to see The Avengers when I mentioned it and I thought 'why not?' so I invited you along and picked you up.

Yeah, I shoulda texted you out front letting you know I was at your place, but instead I rang the doorbell. Your step father invited me in and your WHOLE family introduced themselves to me. xD they were all very kind and you came out of your room like 'wtf?' Then I took us all to The Avengers in Manteca that night and Denny's afterward, it was a lot of fun.

Then one day, outta nowhere, you texted and asked what kinda pizza I wanted and so you brought it over and we hung out for a bit. Then you suggested some dates for us and you fixed up your bikes so we could go bike riding one night and we went to the park and your coworkers made a surprise delivery of pasta and desserts. I remember the sprinklers would randomly come on to try to spray us and we gazed at the stars till 2 in the morning.

You took me to Buffalo wild wings for the first time and you helped me pwn everyone on BlackJack. And we went on our little adventure at Barnes and Nobles and we are still trying to score the Unicorno Fumo. 

One night I came over and you mixed those seagram's vodka's I brought over with a bit of banana's and random fruits in a blender. I thought it would come out awful but I liked it.  Then we watched sexy Bison and Guile on Street Fighter the movie and played Pokemon Stadium 2 xD;

But in the back of my mind, I thought that I couldn't like you, you were my friends cousin right? Until she told us she didn't care xD and even later seemed to encourage it lol

I remember you coming up behind me and hugging me randomly at Esthers' party in Redwood City. Esther saw us and was like "did I miss the memo?" and we all just shrugged it off :]

One night we laid on the grass and played Selena's Dreaming of You while cuddling. And you said that you thought at one point I had lost interest in you. And that I was too good for you. And I admit, maybe at one point, I was shallow & stupid enough to think that as well. But you kept on trying. And so that maybe, just maybe one day you might end up catching me. 

 And you did. <3

Nice try History. Better luck next year!!!

I saw Fireworks last night at the Manteca Costco parking lot with 3 of my awesome buddies (double date) xD

Video + more of that later. 

My display driver keeps doing the blue screen of death so I'm scared to use video editing programs on this computer atm.

I wanna try to fix it but right now I'm trying to edit what photos I currently have and do a backup on everything important.

I also went exploring today ;D and failed miserably at trying to catch frogs. 

Eddy and I also played Pokemon Gotta Chug Em All boardgame one night randomly spending the night at Jill's, but with Seagram's escapes. That was a mistake. Our stomachs hurt so bad after that game. It trolls you!
