this break...the last part of it
beware, long entry
so yeah, this weekend marks the end of spring break. what did i do? well, as i had mentioned in the past few blogs, i went to the N*E*R*D* concert downtown last night w/ my friend from high school Jennifer. the concert started @ midnight, so jen and i decide to get downtown a lil early to eat and check out the clubs before the concert. we leave mira mesa around 9pm and get downtown about 15-20 min later. once we get there, we werent expecting there to be that many people down there, and thus expected to get a parking space. wrong! after driving around for 10-15 min looking for parking on the street, we conceded that there was no parking, and decided to park at a cheap lot. we found one for $7 for the night. we pay the attendent (more on this later) and park and walk around downtown. we ate @ Sammy's Woodfired Pizza, and then went to E. St Alley for about 45 min (yeah we wanted to go back there after the concert since they're open til 4am). so we get in line for the concert @ 1130ish, which by that time is a block long. so slowly we move forward to get into the club where the concert was taking place. we finally get in, and wait for the concert to start. the concert was about 15 min late in getting started...but finally Black Eyed Peas took the stage. it was a good set...they played for over an hour, and played many of their well known songs...i was a bit disappointed that they didnt play "joints and jams" but i'll get over it. around 130am, they finish their set and the stage peeps get the stage ready for N*E*R*D*. you would think that they had this getting ready for the next act thing down, since this was the 2nd concert of the night...but it took 45 min for them to get everything ready and for N*E*R*D* to take the stage. they also had a good set, in which they played all their songs...especially lapdance, which was their closing song.
so the concert ended around 330. Jen & I leave the club with a good feeling after the concert, and was gonna go back to e st to catch the after party...but jen was getting tired, so we decided not to go back, and just go home instead. we get back to the parking lot to find that my car WAS NOT THERE! we saw a tow truck towing out a car, and like 3 other people standing there in disbelief. a group of 4 guys came running to catch the tow truck before he left w/ their car. apparently the lot closes @ 2am, something which the attendent neglected to tell us. in fact, there were signs that led us into the lot saying that there was event parking, and the attendent even said that we can park there all night. oh yes, there was a small sign that was posted by the pay machines, but since we paid the attendent, we had no need to go by the pay machines (and thus see the microscopic sign). there were no other signs that said what time the lot closed. so my car got towed away. the tow guy said that we could pick up the car after 8am. so out of luck at 330am, i called my dad to share the bad news, and to get him to pick us up. after taking jen home (well to her sister's friend's house where her sister was staying the night, so she could get her sister's keys since jen left hers in my car), i got home @ 445am.
today, i went to pick up my car. guess how much it cost me. it cost me $235!!! apparently, if i had picked it up tomorrow, it would be $20 cheaper...cuz of the weekend fee, but since school starts tomorrow, i need my car today. i found out that 11 other cars had been towed (the most they had ever towed from 1 lot in a single night). i'm gonna call them up tomorrow to complain about what happened. hopefully my $$$ will be refunded...$235 is a lot, especially for a college student!
ok...enough about all that...my final quarter begins tomorrow @ 10am. 11 more weeks, and i'm outta here. i still have a lot to take care of between now and then. gotta get prepared to enter fully into the real world. speaking of real world...anybody need a house/apartmentmate? lemme know, cuz im moving out this summer. the real world waits for no one! stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =S

how sweet it is
to be done with finals...i just finished my last final for my last winter quarter @ ucsd. for once, i wasnt feeling stressed out about finals...it was really laid back. i only wish that the finals were earlier in the week so i could have officially started my spring break early. oh well, its not like i was really studying this week. my major final was done on monday, and all i had left were my tagalog and sign language finals. so i unofficially began my spring break on monday night, with the stupid technicality of the "easy" finals yesterday and today. so what do i have planned and finalized? well...i'm definitely going to the N*E*R*D* concert next saturday, and i'm gonna visit SDSU to check out their TEP program....and there are a few things that i have in mind, but not sure if it will go through. pretty much, i'm just gonna chill for a bit and not really do any thing too stressful. if anybody wants to do anything this next week, i'm always down...just as long as it wont cost much $$$. as for tonight, i'm gonna party hop and check out birthday parites and end of the qtr parties. no more school, no more books, no more teacher's dirty looks!!! =p LET SPRING BREAK COMMENCE! stay tuned, we'll be back after these messages =)

feels good
to know that i officially finished my human development major. i turned in my hdp 150 final today and now im totally finished with all the classes that i ever have to take for that major. i have 2 more finals left on thurs and fri, but they arent too major. tagalog is on thurs, which i'm slightly worried about cuz my tagalog isnt all that great...but i think i should be alright cuz im taking it pass/no pass...i know i know, i should want to strive for the best in that class cuz its tagalog and i should wanna learn it, and it does count for my minor...but at this point, im not really caring too much about it...i just wanna be over with it so my spring break can begin. the other final i have is for sign language, which also isnt too bad cuz all i'm doing in that is watching a video and asking multiple choice questions about it...so i'm pretty much just chillin the rest of the week. dont be jealous of me and my easy finals...i've already served my punishment for 5 years and have had my fair share of all nighters, i think its time for me to chill. as for spring break which is upcoming...i was supposed to be going to vegas w/ Aldrin and others, but i dunno if that's gonna go down anymore...i unexpectedly spent over $200 on new tires for my car last week, so i dunno if im able to fund such a trip....so i figure that i'm just gonna stay in town, maybe go to disneyland w/ my annual pass. one of my favorite music groups N*E*R*D* along with Black Eyed Peas are coming to town on March 27 @ the 4th & B downtown...so i think i might go to see them. im also looking forward to spending some time w/ someone cool =) as for right now...im gonna go do some non-studying by watching tv. should i study later? hmm...we'll see. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

just a thought...why do people who im close to tend to include me in their good new last? i found out some good news about someone by reading someone else's xanga. she xangaed about it right after she found out...that was about an hour ago. and as of right now, i haven't heard anything officially. i thought we were very close, and would think that i would be one of the first to find out about it (at least before her, not that she should be at the bottom of the list), especially with the background that we have. i dunno...maybe i'm just overanalyzing it, but it does bother me. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =/

Friday the 13th
so today is the taboo day...the day in which scary things are supposed to happen...a day that was made famous by the movie of the same name. nothing major to report so far of anything scary that happened. i guess the only things that i know that are scary thats happening today are my 2 quizzes (tagalog and sign), but they should be ok. i guess im a lil bit frustrated with tagalog...im getting it, but im getting it slowly. i feel like im falling behind while others are moving super fast. i really wanna learn it and do well in the class. im taking this class pass/no pass...but this class is different cuz i wanna do well. the reason why i took it pass/no pass is cuz i dont want this class to bring down my already low GPA. but i wanna learn this stuff, and i wanna know how to carry on a somewhat decent conversation. i also wanna make ginang nacu proud, just cuz she's pretty cool. i knew her only in passing before i took this class, but i feel she's like an "auntie" to me, even though she doesnt want us to call or refer to her as that. i just dont wanna let her (or my filipino half) down.
speaking of classes....i registered for classes for the very last time this (yesterday) morning. its weird to think that i will never register for another ucsd class again. I'M GRADUATING! now if only i knew what i was gonna do with myself after June 12, 2004...as well as other matters of the family that shall be mentioned at a later time, but not now.
so today (yesterday), Ellen-Mae and i went to fashion valley to buy something cool for someone cool =) and yeah...i dunno what i was gonna say...oh yeah i remember now...i think its cool how we keep in touch and chill more than we did before when she was with her ex. we've known each other since high school days, but never really hung out or talked that much cuz of the ex-factor. but now we hang out more, and she's a pretty good friend, and we've gotten to know things about each other that we wouldnt have expected. she even (re)joined APSA, increasing the representation of mira mesa high in APSA. i mentioned it to her, and she agreed. im glad we are able to talk more and help each other out with other aspects of our lives. she even helped me pick out that cool thing for that cool person...yep i got a girl's opinion, and hopefully "MeanButt" works to my advantage...she knows what im talking about ;)
ok...that whole last paragraph was random, but yeah i dont care...im tired of studying for tagalog...im going to bed. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

nothing really to talk about
but i just felt like blogging. i should be working on my hdp 150 midterm, but im not...hey, at least i started on the thing. more apsa talent show tryouts tomorrow, i can do some hw during the down time (hopefully). it feels good not doing anything APSA related for the past few days. i had mentioned before that last week, i did something almost everyday that was APSA related. so im kinda glad that i didnt go to APAAC today, even though i know its one of the better conferences that APSA goes to each year. i just wanted to do my own thing today...which i did...i went to the Pilipino library and museum downtown today. it was for my tagalog, but it was cool to go there and check out the pilipino artifacts and read a lil bit about the national heroes and key figures in pilipino history. i think tonight imma go watch You Got Served and kinda chill a bit, since i have to get up at the buttcrack of dawn for tryouts. ah well, its all good...i love talent show, it's what originally sucked me into APSA and how me and my ex got together...or at least started the process of getting together. this will be my last talent show as an undergrad, so im gonna soak it all in and enjoy it. it will be a great show...i think you should come out and see it.

no homework
i have no homework to do tonight...but for some reason i feel like i should be productive....like there's a void, and i should be doing something to fill it. i do have some stuff to do for later in the week, like a midterm for sign language, and several quizzes for that class, but there's not really any studying needed for it. i also have a take home midterm for hdp 150 that is being assigned on fri and due on mon. it's not gonna be that hard, but i will not be going to the APAAC Conference @ UCI this saturday that APSA will be going to because of it, and also since i have to be at round 2 of APSA talent show tryouts all day on sunday. speaking of APSA stuffs...i returned from my hiatus from board last week, and i feel like i took on too much my first week back...cuz almost everyday last week i did something APSA related, leading up to saturday w/ tryouts and the APSA retreat. i felt somewhat overwhelmed and tired by the time i got to retreat, which is why i only stayed there for an hour. im definitely gonna watch myself in terms of being too heavily involved in APSA. contrary to popular belief, i do have a life outside of APSA...and i am trying to graduate. but no matter what, i will always be there for APSA. alright...i think im gonna go do a lil bit of reading so i can feel somewhat productive. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)
