- watched X2. besides the fact that we came late and had to sit in the FIRST ROW (and i was getting a headache)..gooood movieeee

THE MATRIX RELOADED i've waited a long time to watch this movie. not only because it's the sequel to THE MATRIX, but also because i have more insight on THE MATRIX. i never knew of the philosophical connection it had to plato's work: "allegory of the cave". for once, "allegory of the cave" is one crazy peice writing. it's basically saying that we're in a fake world, and we're blind to the real world...SAME plot as in THE MATRIX. once my english teacher instilled that in my head, i was facinated relooking back on the movie. mr seal said the producers built the MATRIX around plato's work. if it's true..i know what's going to happen to NEO in the last movie of the trilogy.anyways...i REALLLLLLY wanted to watch this movie. my boyfriend knew that. he's gonna watch it with the guys tonight. the girls weren't invited. well, i was because i was there, but it's not like i have that freedom to go watch a movie that late. so yeah, i told him how i felt..how he KNEW i hecka wanted to watch that movie..and how him going with the guys hurt me.
he hesitated. "nooo..i'm not gonna go anymore"..."the guys are always busy...now we can do something together"...."i'm still gonna watch it with you on monday...all that matters is that i'm gonna watch it with you"....
NO. you knew i wanted to watch that movie. i raved about how much i wanted to watch it after mr seal told the class about it...LAST YEAR! gosh. you just don't understand. yes, i'm that kinda person that gets pissed off about the little things. arghhhhHHH!!! i'm not one of those gf's that shrugs it off. yeah..i am butt hurt. the fact that YOU knew i wanted to watch it...and you didn't even turn the guys down when you knew i wanted SOO bad to watch it with you first...man...you just suck.

I GOT CAUGHT yesterday, for the first time, i got caught. i heard about 40 more people got caught too. =P
3rd period i realized i forgot my money for our '03 panoramic picture. wednesday was the last day to turn money in. since it was a minimum day, and i had 5th after lunch, i decided to go home and get money.
like other folks, i left during lunch. to get food, get out of school, go home, have sex...many reasons why one would want to leave.
i get home, get the check from mama and went on my way back to school. oh yeah, i don't have my contacts anymore, so my eyesight was blurred. i enter the student parking lot..and i see... MR. SCHROEDER, assistant principle. ARGHhh!!! i got sooooo mad at myself. he told me to park my car and come back to him.
as i walk towards him, i see there aren't any place where i can flee off to. police men were blocking the entrances to the school. DOH! i stood there, with 3 sophomores, watching as SMART PEOPLE WITH GOOD EYESIGHT drive pass the parking lot as they spot mr schroeder. he was talking about giving referrals at that point, i didn't care..i'm a senior who's gonna graduate in less than a month..it doesn't bother me. at the end of lunch, we go to the office and get a late slip to class. i thought it was over...it wasn't..
4th period today, someone comes into class giving MR. seal a slip. his face was puzzled when he looked at the name. it was for me. i looked at it. "see schroeder immediately". i went off to the office.
i entered, and there were other folks there that got caught. as we waited, more and more came. haha. funny if i do say so myself.
in the end, i have detention tomorrow. picking up trash for about 45 mins. whoop dee doo.
how do i feel? once again...i'm a senior graduating in less than a month..what do you think? =]

BEVERLY HILLS 90210 BEVERLY HILLS 90210, by far, is my most favorite show of all time. from beginning to end, i've adored the show. i grew up watching that show. i barely missed an episode...maybe a handfull at most. it was sad to see that show end a couple of years ago. it's last episode left me in tears.the reunion broadcasted disapointed me a bit. for one, BRIAN GREEN and TORI SPELLING weren't present (TIFFANI THIESSEN as well)..and two, it was short. yes, an hour is the average running time, but it wasn't enough for me. JENNIE GARTH was stunning. her hair was so nice.
but yeah...there will be shows that i love... like SMALLVILLE, BRACEFACE, and SAVED BY THE BELL....but there will never be no BEVERLY HILLS 90210
oh yeah. like i did before, i'm going to bring back my "quote of the day".

A LONG DAY INDEED i lost my entry. stupid blogger. arghh! so i'm going to replicate it again, while truncating it as well. =P
saturday consisted of: a car wash, cotillion practice, and watching a dance performance.
the car was was at SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS for a fundraiser for FYC. there, we washed 30 company cars. from 9am-12pm, we got to drive em up, wash em, vacuum, and even keep the change we found. in the end, we found about 15 dollars in chunck change. wooohooo! we also got the money we worked for...225 bucks. yay
after, some of us headed to my house, for cotillion practice. i felt so bad! 3 people were already there. =\ but yea, we just cleaned up the waltz. people were out of town, and had to do other things, so about a little more than half came. thanks for all you guys that come. i love my friends. i still need choreography for the our michael jackson song. ahhhhh!
the perfomances: DOPE! oh man. they had a variety of dance styles.. hip hop, jazz, tap, stomp, interpretive...the list goes on. there were FUNNY dances, cute dances, sad dances, emotional dances, and even scary, disturbing dances. they wore crazy clown masks! ahhhh!! jennifer even had a little solo. it was soo nice. she did a great job and was sooo pretty that night. all her family came, her boyfriend, and her friends. it was priceles seeing her grandma smiling when her grandaugher danced alone on stage. what a sight.
after, they decided to eat at jack in the box. i drove jeffrey home since it was 10:30pm. instead of meeting with the other folks, i decided to go home. even though i love jack in the box and jennifer, and wanted to spend time with them....i've been out a lot, and been coming home late...so i decided just to go home. i like fun days. they make me smile =]

SENIOR BALL 2003i never really mentioned this much, but my senior prom was on saturday, MAY 10, at THE TECH MUSEUM OF INNOVATION located in downtown san jose. haha.1pm. i went to jennellle's house. there, she did my hair. thanks stanks for doing my hair. it was cute!!
3pm. i rush home. i grab my dress, accessories, deodorant, body spray, mary janes, film, and everything else i need. i hurry my way to JD's house.
4pm i pick up jd so we can go get my corsage ( due to a mistake which was once a boutonniere). jd's is looking FLY! hahh. i was hella jockin what he was wearing: black dress shirt, black dickies, white tie, white suspenders, the garter i made him...and of course, his MOHAWK. haha.
5pm dinner was supposed to be at PASTA POMADORO. due to problems, all 20ish of us had dinner at CHILI'S in milpitas. MmMMm. jeff locked his keys his car (hahha..loser), so i drove him back home (san jose)to get a spare. *sigh* i hate driving back and forth..but hey, that's my friend right there.
8pm-12pm me and jd head downtown. we get inside the TECH, and i see my best friend JUSTINE. awww..her hair was sickkkkkk!! of course, it was one of jennelle's creations. me and jd had a fun time. danced, went around the tech, ate desserts, took pictures. i had a great time with my boyfriend =]
FINALLY, i got a keychain picture! woohoo!! i've wanted them since...fOREVER!! hahah. it's a cute picture.
our favor was a small clock, which was also a picture holder. it's cute, but i wanted a big picture frame like last year. oh well, i'll just use the same frame and change the pic. heheh
12:30am we head to MISSION LANES (bowling) in milpitas to meet up with the other folks. jovver and kenneth, although in college, met up with us too. we didn't play, but i sure did beat jd's ass in ski hockey. MuhAhahah
1:45isham hungry, we decided to go to DENNYS at berryessa. only 12 of us went. our waiter was kool, but weird. he said if we guessed his age, the drinks were on him. that came out of nowhere. anyways, he was 37..we said 36. argh!! he validated it with his license. pooopers. me and jd only get a sundae, while the others got meals. it's ok..we got to eat some leftovers. hah
3:00am i dropped off jd at home. it was there when the night ended. *sigh* what a beautiful night.
i had fun. it was great being with my boyfriend. he looked so handsome. hah. i couldn't take my eyes off him. great friends, great laughs, great times. what a night...

FREDERICK'S BACK! so i went to Mount Pleasant HS to pick up jennelle. rachel (or justine) said, "hey, is that frederick?" i looked back, and to my amazement, it was him. i got out of my car and walked towards him. our eyes met, and he gave me a smile.greeting me with a hug, one of the first things he said to me was, "dude, you got shorter! i remember you were right here ::shows height::" haha. that loser. anyways, i told him i heard about Iraq, and he said it was crazy and tough. i'm glad he's back home and safe. he says he'll be staying for a while. i told him about my cotillion, and he says he'll make it. yay. aww. frederick. he's one dope guy. i think i'm gonna make him take me to the military base so i can chill with him and get cheap stuff at the same time. muhhaha.
