11:30 PM . 



STARBUCKS well, i woke up today and my friend called me up. after i hung up with him, i suddenly had a craving for starbucks. well, i drove there..and guess who was chillen outside? it was alvin! haha..what a coincidence!! hahaha. but yeah, i went up to him and said hi. then i went inside and got me and him some WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA, SINCE i'm SUCH A KooL friend. went outside and chilled with him for a while...talked.. him and his friends were gonna go to the gym afterwards and workout. haha..he has FREAKIN OLD friends...they are all like 23 and shit. well, they are just 3 years older than him. ..but hecka old to me. well, i finished my drink and said later dawg...hah


9:37 PM . 



LAST NIGHT i was sleeping..and my mom wakes me up around 2am. she looks at my VCR and sees that there is HELLA papers on there and she starts trippen! she grabs the papers and fucken THROWS my shit all over my floor! she says that i'm "gonna start a fire" cause the papers are on the "hot" VCR. WTF!!! yeah, i know that sometimes appliances spark and start fires, but FUCK..just cHILL! she says, "feeel the papers...they're HOT" you know what? they were BARELY even warm. ARGH! she then leaves and says, "you better CLEAN YOUR ROOM!" grrr

after that, i called my friend, cause i looked at my pager, and he paged me twice... well, 30 mins later, my mom saw me on the phone...she was HELLLA trippen again!!! "get off the PHONE! it's indecent to call someone at this time...don't you have any respect for yourself??" well, i always talk to my friend at night...he pages me to call..i'm not even bothering him. well, it's now 5:15ish. i'm still on the phone..my mom comes in and HELLA starts yelling. "did you hear what i said?!?! do you want this kinda future!?!? don't you have any respect for me??" WTF!! talking on the phone late at night isn't gonna fucken RUIN my future. shit..i'm just talking to my friend. shit...there isn't anything wrong with that. and the time? i don't think anything is wrong. he's always awake at that time..i'm not bothering his parents. shit. well, i got off the phone cause she starting CRYING. wtf..something is weird. she gets so emotional over nothing.

respect. if she knew i was telling people about my life, about my relationship with her..about all this shit.. i know she'd disown me. she'd think writing about this shows that i don't really have respect for her. well, yes...i do believe that's true. the reason why i'm writing about this is not to brag about the "twisted relationship" me and my mother have. do you think i want this?? to have this unhealthy relationship with my mom?? it hurts...i want to be able to talk to her..and not have all this amnosity between us. bleh..please sign my guestbook and give me you're input on what you think..whether good or bad..please sign

well..on a good note..STAR TESTING. yesterday, in the vocab section, the word "sporadically" came up!! woohoo!! i actually knew that word!! it's from CLUELESS, when Cher was teaching Tai a word. it means, occasionally. WOOHOO!! thanks CLUELESS! haha

WHAT A DAY!!!! i woke up late this morning. got dressed really quick and left for school. another day of testing. i got home and went straight to sleep. my parents leave to go to the doctor...and i'm still sleeping. i woke up around 4 i think.. from a call. it was justine asking me when we were leavin for the FYC meeting. i said i'd call her back..and i went back to sleep. i then get another call at 5:30. justine again. haha..woopsie! so i said i'd be ready in 10 mins. when we were at a stoplight..i started imitating my mom (how he reacts when i drive fast) i was really loud and making all these retarded gestures. i look around me and see the guy in the next lane looking at me!!!! AHHH!!! and you know what's even more embarrassing?!!! he was a cutie!!!! aRGhH!!

me, justine, and rachel have made plans. well, mondays, wednesdays, and fridays, we're gonna go workout. around 6 or 7ish, we go to our elementary school and do laps around the track. we all have "important" events happining in the near future, so we need to slim down..hehe

CELL grrr. what a great day to recieve my cell phone bill. damn. my mom hella trips over it, even when i tell her i'll pay her back. damn. what a great day.
"you make me sick"


10:11 PM . 



. . . my mom is really sick right now. for the past few days, she hasn't been going to work. all she's been doing is sleeping. she's in bed, and can't really get up cause her head hurts too much. it's crazy. she doens't really want to go to the doctor..and she talks about dying. hmm. my dad is getting sick now too. i'm not gonna be going out today..i only went out to buy my mom some medicine.

sadie's dance is this friday. i was supposed to go with my buddy jeremy, but i don't know anymore. i don't really want to leave my parents home alone. plus, i don't think my parents would want me to go. jeremy said he was gonna ask someone to fill in at work for him, so he could go with me to the dance. i kinda hope that he has to work on friday, so if it turns out that i can't go, he can just go to work. err, i wanted to go too cause i haven't kicked it with him for a long ass time. but it's all good

SANTA CRUZ i went to santa cruz for an event there. it was dope. it was on the UCSC campus, so i got to see how it was. all i gotta say is....BEAUTIFUL!!!! the campus is so pretty. i love it. i got to see grace's dorm. it was dope...like a little apartment. not shabby at all. so i made my choice, and i want to go to UCSC. it's only like 30 mins from home, it's a UC, the campus is beautiful, and there is a dual degree program that i got my eye on.

the problem: my parents don't want me to go there. they want me to go to SAN JOSE STATE because:
-it's close to home
-cheeper
-family members/friends attend/attended that school
-don't have to pay for room/food because i'll be at home
-they don't want me to leave cause i'm their baby

san jose state is kool. i'd want to go there..cause their COMPUTER ENGINEERING program is ranked #2 in the nation. but NO. i must go away for college. i need to become independent and live life by myself. i need personal growth, GOSH DARNIT!!!
