Robitussin works wonders
i'm feeling a bit better thanks to my special friend that i picked up at vons...robitussin you perves!!! well, the generic version of it...but it's doing pretty well in making me feel better. i am still feeling a bit sick, but not as bad as i was feeling yesterday, or even this morning...it coulda been the naps that i took in my 4 classes today, but at least im not quite as sniffly as i was before.

1st day of class
1 lecture down, 19 more to go. today was my first day of class...a very interesting day. after today, i've come to the conclusion that i like 3 of my 4 classes. the class that i dont like, and am seriously thinking of dropping is ANLD2 (Anthropology)... mainly because it doesnt seem too interesting to me, and i can take another class instead next quarter. also, i dont know anybody else in the class, which isnt a good thing, especially if i decide that i dont wanna go to class one day...i wont know anyone to take notes for me, a bad thing especially since the midterm and final are based on lectures. normally that wouldnt stop me...i would just try to get to know people around me and hopefully get notes from them...but it's kinda hard to do that since i have classes right before and right after this class, so i dont really have any time to get to know anyone before or after class...and obviously i cant get to know them during class. so, chances are that i'm going to drop this class. it will drop me down to 12 units, but oh well, i'm still full time. ah well...time to sleep, no class tomorrow, but i gotta take my car in tomorrow to get the door fixed >=0. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

all good things must come to an end
whoever said that musta been a party pooper. with that said...i am sad to report that my vacation has come to an end. although it doesnt officially come to an end until tuesday when i start class (i have mondays and fridays off), i do however get to go back to work tomorrow...yay. well...what did i do to end this mostly uneventful break you might ask? well i left the country. haha...i went to tj last night w/ Ronnel and Mark, and others...although i have been to tj before, this was my first nighttime excursion to tj. i must say that it was a lot of fun, although i smelled like cigarettes by the time i got back home (7am this morning). its weird being on the freeway at that hour, just cuz the sun is rising, and everything is colored differently (and no it wasn't the alcohol, i was sober way before i crossed back over)...im just starting to notice skylines a whole lot more, just cuz i think its pretty cool to look at when the sun is at that right position where it's awestriking. ah well...enough babbling on...i gotta get some sleep...i have work tomorrow =/. well, actually i'm gonna finish watching Family Ties w/ Nem...if she ever finds her "channel clicker", and then sleep. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

another day
nothing much really has been happening, just been pretty boring...which kinda sucks cuz this should be time to be doing a whole bunch of fun stuff since school starts this monday (tuesday for me =)). i was kicked out of my house today though...not cuz i was in trouble, but because my complex is getting remodeled, and so they were recoating the entrance way. so it was either get out @ 8am in the morning, or be stuck here til 5 in the afternoon, and i didnt wanna get stranded here. so i got my bum outta bed @ 740ish, showered, and went to Joan's house and chilled there. i went to Ronnel's pad when she had to go to work. on my way home, i saw my reoccuring high school crush Liza outside her house (her house is on my way home from la jolla)...i pulled over for a bit, and we talked for a bit (i still have a crush on her everytime i see her). dropped by starbucks, then came home and started cleaning the other half of my room which i got too lazy to do earlier in the week (i still didnt finish...there's a bunch of papers and stuff on my floor). went to Friday's and ate w/ joan. that was my day...i lead an interesting life. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

tuition & work
i seriously hope i am not screwed. you see, my college tuition is paid for by the VA, since my dad is retired from the navy. but the only catch is that i can't make more than the national poverty level. the whole entire time i had been looking at my net amount that i have made in 2001 (social security & taxes taken out of my income), and it seemed like i was coming in under the limit. but then some people got me thinking that what they look at is the total amount of my income (without taxes and social security taken out)...if that's true, then i'm seriously screwed for next year..cuz i barely passed the level...meaning my calvet could be revoked for my 4th year. i seriously hope that this isnt the case. i really wish i knew which column on my paystub that i should have been looking at, cuz if i had known, then i wouldnt be having this problem. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =/

Another Night at the Movies
i went to the movies today w/ Alexis, one of my students from summer bridge. we had been planning to hang out for awhile now, and today was our day. so i picked her up, and we headed to Fashion Valley to see what was playing there. we ran into Kris, another one of my students, while we were looking at what was playing. we decided to watch Ocean's Eleven, and we bought our tickets. since we had about another 2 hours til the movie started, we went to grab something to eat @ Sam Woo. after we ate, we headed back to watch the movie. funny thing happened...the film broke apart right in the middle...even funnier was that it broke apart right as they were blowing something up in the movie. well, after about 20 minutes, they fixed the film, and the movie was up and running. at the end of the movie, they gave us a free pass to see any movie we wanna watch in the future.
now comes my review...this movie was basically about some guys who are plotting to rob a vault common to 3 casinos in las vegas (pretty ironic considering i just came from there). this movie goes about tracking what they plan to do, and how they carry it out. it had a lot of big time hollywood stars, including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, and for you Mayrin, that one dude who plays Pacey in Dawson's Creek. my mentee Maribeth recommended this movie to me, and she didnt disappoint me. i really liked this movie...it just kinda sucked how i couldnt watch the entire movie from beginning to end (since it tore up right in the middle)...but i would definitely watch this movie again. my rating...9 boba balls (out of 10).
well...i should go to sleep now, since i have to take my car in for servicing and to get my door handle and lock replaced at 830, so for now i bid all adieu...stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

Best Friends
i would have to say that Chie has to be the bestest friend a guy can have. remember how someone tried to break into my car yesterday while it was parked in front of her house? well, she felt really bad about it happening. i had told her that she didnt need to worry about it...cuz it wasnt her fault. but despite my assurances to her, she still felt bad. so today, she called me on my cell to tell me that she was gonna drop by to give me something. about an hour later, she called me to tell me that she was out front. so i went and met her, and she gave me a $10 gift certificate to Jamba Juice to help me feel better. that really made my day (and my year so far)...not that she got me a jamba juice certificate, but that she got them to make me feel better. i am so lucky to have a best friend like her =)

people these days
i swear...some people have no lives. i went to lunch w/ my best friend Chie today. i went over to her house and gave her gift to her, and then we went to Pat & Oscar's for lunch in her car. so since she drove, i left my car in front of her house. well, when we got back, we noticed that the lock and door handle on the passenger side of my car had been broken. somebody had actually tried to break into my car!!! i just got my car back, and now someone tries to break into it? nothing was taken, and my car was still there, but still!!! i know theyre jealous cuz i'm driving a decent looking car and theyre prolly stuck driving some broken down POS, but that doesnt mean that they should break into my car. whoever does this needs to get a life and go out and get a job and buy them a nice car of their own. what a way to end this year!!! stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages >=/

"I asked Santa for an X-Box for Christmas...and all i got was a Box with an X on it." -99.1 FM commercial

rebuttal
well it seems that i have some opposing opinions (well just 1 for now) about my review for Southcoast Plaza and the rating that i gave it. if you read David's blog, he responds to what i wrote about "his" mall. well, all i have to say about that is we all have differing opinions about what constitutes a good mall, and one of my criteria is that it has to have a good food court. one could argue that this is a high quality mall filled w/ high quality stores...but c'mon now, walking all day around a mall that huge would make anybody hungry, and i dunno bout anybody else, but i would rather spend my money in those stores than shell out a pretty penny to dine at one of those sit-down restaurants. when it comes to malls, if i get hungry, im satisfied eating a hot dog on a stick or some sort of pseudo-chinese food. although this mall does have a mcdonalds and a del taco, it lacks the choices that one would normally get from the traditional food court. so in conclusion...i shall say, you can have a mall with all the stores that you would want, but without a food court, it aint nothing. =)
well, this should be my last blog til after christmas, since leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow (today) to spend the holiday...woohoo, nothing for me to do there yet (6 1/2 months left). i shall return next thursday, so while i'm gone, make me happy and sign my guestbook =). merry christmas to all and to all a good night...stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)
