playing house once again :]

so bf's parents have left for Vancouver once again.. and that means HOUSE :]. haha there's no other words for it, since we do not technically live together. but i think its better that way right now. So since we had to drive to thee 510 to drop them off, we decided to grab some WING STOP and Wal-Mart for some junk. woohoo. anyways i feel like baking so i will have something up along with pictures from yesterday's activities in a little.

Fighting for Our Future... a DAY OF ACTION

today was a really important day to represent and voice to the world and our government... A DAY OF ACTION.. really amazed me with the power it possessed. It represented not only students and teachers, but families and the future.. so I did not get to partake in the earlier day activities. but thee bf and i BARTed down to Civic Center to be apart of this fight, because we are both working to become teachers... not only that but the major concern for all these budget cuts is really hurting the children and STUDENTS from k-UNIVERSITY level. I took a lot of amazing shots, and I was moved by the raw emotion of the crowd. i'm no activist, and this was really my first rally; but it damn sure made me feel proud to be apart of this community. anyhoo enough about my rant, I ran into my BFF and my godchildren and BFF's fiance. they marched from the mission district all the way down to CIVIC Center/ CITY HALL.. so it was amazing to see so many young children holding up picket signs and screaming at the top of their lungs about how passionate they feel about their education. after the rally, we headed back to BART and drove to dinner. BFF said she was starving and so was BFF's fiance. we all ended up at KOME SUSHI BUFFET. not bad, we got seated right away and grubbed. (btw I have pictures of that as well, which will be posted shortly).

guess i will post pictures later since the bf has the SLR and I have no SD outlet on my MAC anyhoo -_-. so until then, may you all stay happy and safe.

playing catch up...

WARNING: This Post contains heavy picture content.

 i wonder if anyone even reads this anymore "/  but i guess i'll write for my own benefit.. so alot has happened since my long previous post, it's almost been a year and i'm about to be 22... damn i feel old -_-. anyways let's see what has happened since march 2009.

- i went to Disneyworld with the bf and his family which included: his parents, his cousin George and his family( who are from Vancouver) gaaah i love them <3. we were there for a total of 7 days. it was awesome.. seriously want to go back, but the walking is killer and i'm surprised the lines weren't as bad.. but what I trip off is how parents bring infants to disneyworld. like no offense but wt

-began school once again >:[ let's just not think too much about that.

-went to Vegas with the bf's entourage+gfs for the Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight... and I must say that was an experience to be had with a large group.. i thinks me love vegas a bit too much, when i returned i had withdrawal for a while... and i do mean a while. lol

-completed my first official year at SFSU as a transfer...

-reconnected with a old friend, and we're better then ever. i mean we were always friends and i'm actually the ninang of her twins, but yenno we were in different ends of the world due to our different life style and situations, but we worked passed that. boy and i glad. THANK YOU BABY JESUS as Ricky Bobby would say.

-went on a great bonding trip to Disneyland for my sister Stella's 17th birthday with her, the baby sis, and bf.. i love them soooo much, no one else gets me like these three. NO LIE... anyhoo during the trip i freaked out knowing how old my sister is getting.. but that's a whole other story.

-rang in the new year with some close friends...

-started working with kids again, and let me just say I feel so much better than working at the depressing flower shop. I still love my boss and the crew just the situation was "meh"..

       what else can I really say... I guess alot has changed for me mentally, I've learned to let go of the darkness that lingered and swallowed my happiness and vision of my future goals. i've also just realized in a matter of another semester I will be graduating.. o_O honestly i don't think i am ready for the real world, but I am ready to move out.. so i guess time is money yadadamean? I am looking into applying for grad school just to further my education and i hope it works out I want to make money and take care of my family yenno?!

i guess i will keep this post short, but add some pictures to update.. i'm still in the process of transferring my gajillion pictures since I recieved a lovely MAC BOOK for christmas from the bf.<33 let me just say once you go MAC you neva WANNA go BACK!

babe upon arrival to Cesar's Palace

" You probably get this a lot. This isn't the real Caesar's Palace is it?" -Alan from the Hangover

i love all the sounds, lights, sights, and people of Vegas. I swear I might just have to purchase a home there.. look at the beautiful City Center.. Stan and I still have to check out the Aria <333

first night bottle service at Tryst... that was insane.. some people in the group blacked out prior to entering the club b/c of Belvedere Black.. and another one of the girls blacked out afterwards and had a barf fest.. what a night.. stayed up til like 6 that day

after watching the fight at MGM, grabbed a party bus with some of the group to head to XS.. the streets were craycray bananas!!! everyone was hyped and ready to celebrate.

i thought this was cute, right after the end... babe was going crazy and so were his friends and this is how i summarized his reaction..

chaos...

the next day we headed to the WYNN buffet <333

i always love how colorful their buffet is. the decor is absolutely divine.

i can never eat "real" food for the life of me. but when it comes to...

dessert! i am queen... gaaa i have a bad sweet tooth :|

afterwards we hit up THE FORUM SHOPS to meet up another group of babe's friends. 

pictured above is: Shanae(nato's gf), Veronica(hella chill ass chick), Judy my cutie(she may look really sweet and cute but she's a fiesty one ;]) and myself.

DISNEYLAND WINTERBREAK: HAPPY BIRTHDAY STELLIE 

my little sister turns 17.

on our way into the Small World <3

babe hates the sun

toon town

i don't know why, but we went on so many broken rides that day -_- no bueno. we were stuck on Splash Mountain for 30 minutes staring at our picture.. lol we received a cut pass for any other ride.. but we were starving and wanted to eat before heading to watch fireworks so we headed to Goofy's kitchen.

i hate that i encourage him to do things like this at times... but it is funny

upon arriving back inside, we decided to have our picture taken. this one is from my camera, the natural lighting from the tree was captured perfectly without flash!

so we head back for Fireworks, and what do you know it was "too windy" FML right? ugh so we decided to try and use our cut pass. We head over to Indiana Jones Ride

sorry for the bad quality taken from my iphone.. so we get on the Indiana Jones ride.. right from the start the crap shit ride breaks down -_-... we wait 15 minutes to start up again, then 2 minutes later not even far from our previous position the lights turn on and were in this "jungle" which was nothing but black walls and a few of those fake tree vines and HELLA i MEAN HELLA bright ass hot lights beaming on us. again 5 minutes we move to the "arrows" where the village people want to dart us.. but it breaks down again.. this was the worst room to be in hot as fawk. and i needed to pee and the damn seat belts were locked into shit. FINALLY we get to the boulder. and the above image explains it all.. all the magic was gone.. the little girl in the first row began to cry because she needed to pee.. she was like with her dad and 6 other siblings.. that's a whole lotta kids! after waiting in the stank and sweltering "cave" for 25 minutes, the crew comes to get us out, they needed ladders and the whole shabang, since the vehicle was above ground.. ugh we walk out and this time thee bf and i said Fuck it! we're going in separate lines to get more passes. we end up getting two each= two more rides. HELL MUTHAFUCKING YES!

so with our two tickets we run back across the darkened park to get on SPACE MOUNTAIN.  we originally rented a wheel chair, i mean i don't condone doing this but really it saved us alot of time on that day and my sisters and the bf all sat in it. but anyhoo so on thee way we saw there was no line for the STAR WARS TOUR RIDE and we got in.

afterwards we rushed to Space Mountain for one last thrilling ride

haha hurt ass picture. thank goodness it was "LOST IN SPACE"

 so with our last ticket when the park slowly cleared out and the lights slowly dimmed, we hoped on SMALL WORLD one last time to ease our night out.

FINALLY ON OUR LAST DAY we decided to hit up MELROSE

-the little ones went around and hit up JOHNNY CUPCAKES.. nothing else was too impressive since we had whatever they had there.. 

Johnny Cupcakes

this was so cool, it was actually doors that lead to the stockroom, it's a cute store that looks like a bakery 

this was baby's sis destination must. so we did. ended up buying a couple shirts and they give you little boxes for them. i wish i could the box to show you guys

___________________________________________________________________________

i wanted to hit up some of the shopping plazas and malls, but babe said we had to head back before the bitchass LA traffic worsened. So to make the manman happy we made one last stop to PINK'S Hotdogs, since the man loves his weenies. tehe

PINK'S HOTDOGS

omgah! haha while we stood in line for Pink's some lady had a little bunny in a cage. it was soo adorable <3333 i think it was sleeping, but the poor thing was being toddled around

inside waiting for our food

we ordered hella mutha effing food -_- but its okay babe ended up eating most of it in a period of time. not in one sitting of course! i had the coleslaw dog it was bomb! the other ones were too cheesy and meaty for me. all in all it was pretty good. gotta go back :]

alright i guess that's all i have right now since i don't have other pictures. so i hope someone reads this. 

to love happiness and health
