SAY HELLO TO MY CAT


when i was a wee little lad, i had a cat named Cathy.  we played together...i'd take her a on stroll in my little wagon.  that all came to an end when she got pregnant.  she had about 4 babies, and my mom and dad took them all to the humane society (since we couldn't take care of them all).  i remember i watched from the kitchen as my mom and dad put the cats in a box.  those cats were FIESTY!  mom and dad had scratches on their arms...blood..yuck.  although cathy is gone, i'll always remember the fun we had...and i'm reminded of that through the pictures i have with her. ANYWAYS...we often find stray cats in our backyard.  they come and go but one always seems to make a vist.  introducing....my cat...

okkk...technically, it's not mine...but i'd just like to think it is.  i'm not sure if it's a boy or girl...i haven't even named it.  i feed him/her food and he/she always seems to come back.  her/his favorite are hamburger buns.  she/he can eat them for days.  =]   my mom has grown to it too.  she leaves food outside for it to eat.  the cat always stays near the kitchen door.  my mom will call me and tell me to "feed my cat".  we talk to each other...i say, "meow!"..and it says, "meooww!".  although there's a language barrier...i know this is the start of a wonderful friendship.  =]

INSERT SUBJECT HERE

i can't believe i bought 2 concert tickets in the span of only 3 days! at least i know there's some means of money flow that'll cover it. maroon 5..downtown san jose...on freakin cinco de mayo. now that's gonna be something interesting.

last friday, we had a girl's night. 1 missing person, but she was missed. made fettucine with a mushroom alfredo sauce...crab stuffed mushrooms..the "best-ever chocolate cake" that really didn't turn out that great (sorry you have bad luck with cakes rach..i still love you)...and coconut macroons. the night ended with us watching the NOTEBOOK. i didn't cry nearly as much as i watched ir the firs time, but i still got made fun of cause i was "hella" crying (ya know, when you make those noises when you cry). it's official..all of us girls want our own Noah Calhoun. ahh. he's soooo dreamy!!!

thank you rach for leaving me the most interesting comments. they never fail to make me laugh =]

VALENTINES 2005

since jd wanted me to write about it, i'm going to do so.

i've gotta admit..it was a mighty fun vday. started with school which was blah as usual. me and justine were dying in accounting. our teacher let us out at 5:30 which he considered early (instead of 5:40) because it was valentines day..whooptie doo..10 minutes earlier. anyways..after school me and jd headed to applebees. there, jd surprised me with the cookies that i loveee and the most cutest/meaningful card he's ever given me. surprisingly got seated fast. our waitress had the most raspiest voice i've heard come outta a girl's mouth..and jd was convinced she looked like linsey lohan.

after we met up with gene, darryl and william to go bowling at cloverleaf for sharon's bday. fun times on the way. a majority of people were there..and i had a blast even though i bowled the lowest out of everyone... =P. jd, william, josh and christian had 2 games they made bets on. i never knew it'd be so entertaining watching them play. strikes and spares everywhere. christian wowed us all when he won the game because he was helllllaa throwing gutter balls at beginning of the night.

surprise surprise...might be going to the ashley simpson concert. jennifer asked if i wanted to go because some of them are going. jd pretty much is down to go..but i'm stil debating. 29 bucks..not bad..but i don't really want to spend money. i know for a fact though that i'd have fun if i go...hmmmm...

overall...great valentines. 3rd one with jd..and gets better each year. nice balance between the boyfriend and friends. only downside was that my mom was pissed cause i didn't call all day and ended up going home pretty late considering i had school the next day. jd was nice though..came in to apologize to my mom. good thing he did cause mom didn't even say anything when i was home..oooh yeahh.

got a few things to look forward to in the near future...

girl's night on friday...jay's shindig on sunday...(?)ashley concert on tuesday(?)...

argh..i've gotta get back to hw now..i've put it off for quite a while already. =P

RANDOM POST
so many things to write about that aren't really related...so i'll call this a "random" post.

  • ASH WEDNESDAY..THE START OF LENT. brought jd to church with me today..arrived late (i hate being late)..and the church was packedddddd. got "ashed", as JD would call it. both of us decided to give up fast-food..which is going to be hard as HECK since we we're both college students that live on fast food. in addition to that, i decided to give up/do a lot more things...giving up red meat, but allowing myself chicken...giving up soda...controlling my anger and be kind to others..and one of the biggies: giving respect to my parents/not yelling back. there's another thing that's on my list, but i'll keep that one to myself.

  • PUNKY BREWSTER SEASON 2. came out on tuesday. when jd and i went to buy our DVDs, i was SOO tempted to buy it. jd was offering to buy it for me since he knows how much i love punky brewster, but me reasoning was that it's only 25.99...and it's gonna stay at that price...so that can wait.

  • WISDOM TEETH GONE TOMORROW!! i'm FINALLY getting my other 2 wisdom teeth out. 1 has been growing and KILLING me the past week. it was killing me so much i rescheduled my appointment to this week, rather than next week. oddly, i feel perfectly fine now. hehe. but it's ok..i have to get them out before march (ortho appointment), so might as well get it over with.

    this is a sad fact, but i have, and always will have, rough hands and dry skin. =\ ok...the end.

    THE NOTEBOOK

    OH MY GOSH

    . so today, THE NOTEBOOK came out on DVD. although i never watched it before (never got a chance...but i REALLY wanted to watch it. got a glimpe of it on the plane to the philippines)...i bought the DVD today. i heard good reviews..i HELLA wanted to watch it..and i knew i'd love it.

    well...i just finished the movie..and boy...IT WAS A TEAR-JERKER!!!...I SWEAR..I WAS CRYING THROUGHOUT THE WHOLLEEEE MOVIE. ok..i'm making it sound like it's a sad movie..but for the most part..i was crying because it was soooo freakin beautiful! i cried every 10 because of what NOAH said something beautiful to ALLIE. it's not a surprise for me to cry...but i don't think i cried so much watching a movie than i did for this one...i found everything so heartwarming...so tender..so sad..so beautiful. goshhhhhhh! when the movie was over, i think i spent another 10 minutes just crying. jd was just laughing at me the whole time...because i'd start crying outta nowhere. i'm a freaking sap...soooo emotional. that's what i get for being a CANCER.

    MOVIE WAS GREAT. LOVED IT! one of my favorites. but i don't know how the heck i'm gonna watch it a 2nd time without crying a damn river.

    I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMOREE!!!!!

    one of my wisdom teeth has been growing and it's freakin killing meeee! before, i could handle it because it didn't hurt....but now an edge of the tooth in piercing into my gums and gives me this rechid pain. ugh! i can't brush that tooth cause the surrounding gum is just TOO sensitive, and it starts to bleed a bit. i made an appointment, and with the constraints of school, i'm getting the tooth (along with another one) removed on feb 17th (in 2 weeks). they told me i need to get it removed in the morning, but i have classes that i can't really afford to skip...but luckily they gave me an afternoon appointment. now the pain is getting to me, and i'm thinking of just skipping stats for one day so i can get it out earlier. my bite is different cause my teeth are shifting..there's so much pressure in the tooth, causing my jaw to feel a bit swolen..and did i mention it hurts.. =[

    ON 2ND THOUGHT..

    i was going to write an entry about how my mom's pissed off right now and picking fights over the dumbest things...but as i was writing, i realized i was making her sound like a really bad person. she's not...it's just that my dad and I are very alike. we're both lazyyyy, messy people who sit on their butts and watch tv.
