Damn... what a busy weekend. But I'm not complaining... :) Busy is good. Much better than a "bored on my ass/lonely types of weekend.
After 7 months, I finally saw Joe on Friday. Surprise he looks the same! :) He came over and taught me how to play TEXAS HOLD EM... I learned that I can't bluff to save my life. When I got good cards, I couldn't help but smile... when I got bad cards I couldn't help but smile also, but that's because we were playing with my Chippendale cards. Hey... everyone's a winner with those cards. ;)
Anyways, Joe finally got to meet Sonny and there was no brawl over the claim of the guestroom and montage space on the fridge. :) After dinner, making Christmas presents and watching A QUEER EYE CHRISTMAS, we headed out to West Covina for Mikie's surprise party. :) It was fun! When he first came in, they had us all huddled in the kitchen in the dark and when he finally looked into the kitchen, everyone was sort of "SURPRISE!?!" while semi-crouch jumping in their places. It was great though, I got to see some faces that I haven't seen in a while... like since Mike-Bob's birthday. AND I got to see Janelle and catch up a bit in a semi-drunken state. :) I think Mikie's an alcoholic because everyone was giving him drinks. :) Hmmm, they also showed some softporn thanks to Evan. That got everyone's attention.
Saturday morning/afternoon, I ran some errands with Carlene. Why is it that when you enter the Filipino store, you come out smelling like fried fish? Seriously, I was in there for less than 10 minutes, and my clothes and hair had that fishy scent. Ew.
That evening, we drove to Glendale for my Mom's Barkada Christmas party... minus my Mom. :( But it was still a lot of fun. We probably played the most vicious game of White Elephant I've ever experienced. I really wanted to bring a "cool" gift that everyone wanted so I was lucky when Jean found me this neato Atari Joy-stick that has all the old school games on it. There were a lot of cool stuff also like Cranium and boomboxes and uber rich neck supporting pillows that were fought over. Oh... and money. You can't reject money. :) Probably the worst gift was this garage sensor so that you can't park your car too close to the wall... and poor Benji got that. If only he had a car to use it on. Boo. But I think everyone was quite content with what they got... and if not, I'm sure they'll use it for next year as revenge.
Look Mom! We're not on the stairs!
Soon to be new friendster gang. :)
Joseph's desktop. Scary.
I used to think Erik extrude was HOT...
when I was 6.
Saturday night and into Sunday afternoon, I worked on finishing my Christmas gifts for my darling St. Lucy girls. :) Luckily I finished in time and was able to pick up Melissa and meet Tam and Lisa in Pasadena with them in tact. Oh how I LOVE my St. Lucy girls. :)
Mel: Look at that one dish... that looks good.
Tam: Look at the price though. $32? I can buy 8 hootchie tops with that!
Nicole: What kind of hootchie tops are you getting for $4?
Tam: Floss.
Dinner was fab, desserts were even more delicious and the company was awesome. We need to go to Vegas... get tattoos and dance in the doorways over there. ;)
*good times*
Hmmm... This Friday (26th) if anyone is free, Carlene, Sonny, and myself are going to have a Post-Christmas get together at the house. Potluck, bring drinks, and whatever rejected Christmas gifts you got but don't want cause we'll be playing "REJECTED GIFT WHITE ELEPHANT." One man's junk is another one's treasure... or just get a new piece of junk. :) Call, email or IM if you want more info. :)
Mom, if you're reading this, we will be extra careful and clean up afterwards. :) We're responsible girls. By the way... we miss you! LOVE YOU!
