Wow. Was that a somewhat boring game or what? Hmmm... or maybe its just me. I was WAY more excited when the Lakers won the Western Conference last week. The Kings really gave them a fight. Anyways, I was listening to it for the first 3 quarters on my computer courtesy of Lakers.com BUT the really cool part was that one of their listening language options was tagalog! Well the announcer wasn't speaking in tagalog throughout the whole game... he'd make a majority of his comments with his fobby english accent ("Go SHOCK-KEEL!" or "BanHorn shooooots!") and every so often he'd scream in tagalog. (MALIT! wrong) I guess it was the emotional tagalog commentary. That was my game highlight. :)

Been going crazy over here with nails, wire, clips and pictures. :) Still in the process of decorating my walls so at least they won't seem too "pink" (if thats possible.) Last night I was up on my bed pounding nails into the wall with toy blocks because I couldn't for the life of me find the hammer in the garage. I gave up. Luckily I found a cute $3 hammer at Walmart that works better than the alphabet blocks today. Oh my gosh... this Walmart that they had built in Chino is HUBANGEOUS!! It seriously the motherload Walmart... its all shiny and brand new... and OVERWHELMINGLY HUGE! Its all pretty exciting. ;)

:) After going with Carlene to IKEA and deciding that I should get some frames to properly preserve and display my kodaks... I sorted through my recent CKI pictures and decided to scan some of the ones where 1) people look nice and won't be angry at me for putting it up 2) people look somewhat silly and oh wells... they did it in public there shouldn't be anything wrong with me putting it up and 3) it just brings back the warm fuzzies. :) So ENJOY!

:) Just got home from "family birthday dinner" with my parents over at Benihannas... Carlene and Mom are pretty "happy" because of the sake... I stayed away from it. The fear of hell on earth will keep me from drinking for a while. Anyways, dinner was good. I felt like I was in a tv taping for IRON CHEF. Our chef was doing some wicked things with the knife and onion! I could totally see my mom's mind churning on how she probably can incorporate all those smooth moves with the grill here for the next Orogo Family Clambake. :) Anyways, I started to freak everytime I would hear the tamborine of the "birthday crew" of waitresses because I really don't like birthday "fanfare". But by the end of dinner... lo and behold there were those freaking tamborines. Carlene and Mom were gone by the time so they were singing pretty loud and when they got lyrics to the japanese version of IF YOURE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT... it was OVER. I should have our oh so happy family picture up here soon. ;) Aren't you excited??

And just like last year, I celebrated June 9th with my head facing down into a toliet. :P Let's hope this doesn't become a ritual. The room stopped spinning like 2 hours ago. bleh.

Anyways, my birthday was a lot of fun. Although I had to drive to downtown LA in the afternoon for work and then drive back with horrible traffic, the evening came and everything got better. ;)

My intention was to have a get-together, just have some of the people who I love in my life, to come over and hang out... and thats it. But I guess you would say that it kinda turned into a party? I dunno... it was interesting. From ZOOLANDER, to Darren's Dance Grooves to a LOT of Mikie's special shots.... WOW. I think I was getting a kick of watching everyone interact with each other. Did I mention that I just love my cousins? HAHAHAHA... my little cousin Jen was going all buck wild dancing in the living room and I think everyone might think Angel is this "lost child" cause she was walking around the house asking people for cigarettes. Actually, everyone was being pretty crazy...Mikie and Melissa had a very memorable body-roll-off. The guys were acting "gay" as usual... which prompted Angel to turn to me and ask if they were seriously gay. HAHAHAAH... Since I didn't have any candles... Beth make me blow one candle out 7 times... I think she would have kept on going.. 22 times might have made me pass out. :) yeah.. I'm just grateful that I remember everything cause it really was all priceless. It was awesome.

Big big thanks to EVERYONE for a greeeaat birthday! :) *MUAH MUAH MUAH*

Great googlily mooglily oogiliy boogiliy!! I'm 22!! In 3 years... I'll be able to rent a car without the extra "i dont trust this young person driving a rental car fee" and when I'm 35... I COULD... well if I wanted to... run for Presidency of the United States. Nah. But its an option... ;)

Ever since the dawn of time with this computer, there has always been complaints about my keyboard and mouse because they are extremely annoying. If people came over and used the computer.... I would always hear excessive pounding on the keyboard or like when Carlene would use it... she would SLAM the mouse cause it would be lame and retarded. But now.. ITS ALL OVER. ;) Carlene didn't get me a puppy like I had wanted for my birthday... but she got me a brand new mouse and keyboard. OH MY GOODNESS!! its CORDLESS! The keyboard is super duper quiet... it feels like I'm typing on a cloud! OooooOoO.. and the mouse... I don't have to slam on it to have my way with it and it has one of those scroll wheelie thingies. :) OoOOOOoo... how exciting huh.

OH!! Anyone who wants to see the JOE PHOTO MONTAGE... come on over tomorrow around 7ish. ;P Free admission.

One thing I've noticed about bloggers is that authors definitely write for an audience... and the audience does not want to be known. On occasion, you'll get one or 2 people (ok.. maybe 3 of your friends) who say straight out "I read your blogger" or they totally steal your thunder when you're telling a story about a recent happening and they interrupt you by saying "Oh yeah... I read that in your blogger." But generally, people don't want it to be known that they read your stuff. How do I know this... well.. I do it myself. I really hate those IMchaos thingie cause its like a DEAD give-away that you're a stalker. Yeah... sure for the person who has it.. its all fun and dandy. You feel like you're the most popular girl in school and everyone wants to know the "real" you. And well for the reader who gets caught... its like "DAMMIT! Now they know that I'm curious and somewhat care about their life!" OH and its really bad when you have a crush on someone who has it cause you just wanna see that MAYBE... just maybe he or she will slip and say something that you WANT to read and interpret for your own personal pleasure.. so you check it every hour.. on the hour... and when you get caught its like you might as well just go up to the person in real life and scream "I LOVE YOU!" (um... this really doesn't pertain to me... really. THATS all over and done with. Ha?) I guess its just weird. I write this... I publish this... and still I'm suprised that people read this. You know what I'm getting at? Yes? No? Not really? Say something!!
