Wow... an actual real blog. Well it isnt going to be very exciting due to the fact that my life ISNT exciting at the moment. Or maybe it is... but I don't think so. Its fun! But I'm not running off with any dashing young gentlemen... yet. ;)

Today, class and then drove on over to UCLA for their meeting. While in traffic, there was this scary man in his 40s with long hair who looked at me in my car and made the "puckered lip" motion to me. Oh yes. Right here right now sir. Let me pull over my car and lets get freak nasty while on the shoulder of the 10, right in front of the Staples center. Oh baby oh baby. Riiiiight. In the words of my mom and sister... "I'm rolling my eyes." Then again, if the guy was younger and my type, then I might have winked and paper airplaned my phone number over to his car like a good desperate girl. Then again, I'm good... not desperate.

After the meeting (which went really really well I must say), went on this driving adventure through LA looking for Pinks with Carrie. I had my "intuition" and Carrie had her cellie where she called Armando at home to mapquest directions for us. We still managed to get a little bit lost (we were driving past some shops with names such as LICK, TRUNKS, and OUT... this is when we realized we were in West Hollywood. Oh my! Big beautiful man on giant billboard!!) but we eventually got to Pinks and got some delicious hot dogs. :) Yay!

OH! I must say that our own CSUF meeting this past week was great with some complete "newbies" coming as well as our "newbie-regulars" and "oldies" in attendence. And a lot of dues were paid then also... YAY DUES! :) Joe came to the meeting and he said that we had a great vibe going on which makes me really happy because then hopefully everyone will feel that "vibe" and we'll all be jolly good friends! Afterwards, finalized the park (ITS OURS!!), went to the park for some "visualization", and then went with Joe to get a car wash. You know in "Monsters Inc" when Sully thinks that Boo is getting crushed in the trash compactor, and he's behind the glass just watching the compactor do its this while that lone eyeball that he thinks is Boo moves along the conveyer belt? I totally thought about that while watching Joe's baby get washed, waxed, and dried off in the car wash... I kept on imagining Sully's face of horror and then him fainting... only to get up, look through the glass, make a freaked face, and then faint again. :) I was smiling the entire time...

Speaking of real life instances that remind you of cartoons, for the past couple of nights, there has been a cat outside that has been screeching and meowing like a banchee. I swear to Hades, its freaking loud. At first, I thought that perhaps the house was haunted, and that the ghosts had a 10 month period for new owners to settle in before scaring the shit out of them... but nope. Its a damn cat. Not only does he/she/demoncat screech and meow, he/she/demoncat also hits trashcans/fences/makes demoncat racket. That reminded me of those Garfield cartoons when he's on the fence, singing/dancing/reciting a shakepeare monologue and theres the moon behind him... and while he's in the middle of his "act" the neighbors start to throw their shoes and bunches of lettuces. Why do they throw their lettuce? Thats perfectly good lettuce. Anyways, but when demoncat starts screeching, I think to myself, "maybe this is demoncat's form of selfexpession." My neighborhood is like a jungle though. Noisy animals. The dogs bark, demoncats screech, and somedays, there are owls outside my window and it sounds like they are having crazy owl sex. Ewww.

Oh lordy... last night... work... argh.

I'll get into that later...

Yesterday was pretty great because it was Queen of the Valley Nurses and their Daughters conquer the Ahmanson theater day.... well not really. Mom, Carlene, and myself went with a bunch of mom's coworkers (some who also brought their daughters) to go watch MAMMA MIA at the Music Center. It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!! :) Ever since I watched "Muriel's Wedding" and discovered my mom's ABBA cd back in my freshman year in high school, I have LOVED ABBA. Carlene would always make fun of me or tell me not to blast that damn ABBA music from my room... or even when ATeens came out with their ABBA songs, she would roll her eyes when their songs would play on winamp. So you can imagine how much I loved this musical since all their songs are ABBA songs. :) oOoOoOoooOOO Yeah, it was totally adorable and fun because everyone already knew the lyrics to the songs so when you'd hear the first few lines of the song, everyone would gasp or smile in recognition and just be amazed on how they interpreted it just for the musical. "Take a Chance on Me" turned into a comedy... and "Lay All Your Love On Me" was this love duet... and like how they used "S.O.S." and "One of Us" was just really really cool... and "Gimmie Gimme Gimme," "Winner Takes All," and of course "Mamma Mia" heheheh.. yeah... they played all good songs (cept for they didn't play "Fernando" or "Waterloo"... but I can figure that the lyrics wouldn't go with it.. oh wells.) And one very big plus... half naked cute guys dancing. ;) In the end of the show, after all the bowing, the cast just danced and dressed up like ABBA (very unflattering and ugly outfits made out of spandex in bright colors with fringe. woah.) and everyone in the audience was dancing and singing along in their seats to MAMMA MIA, DANCING QUEEN, annnnd WATERLOO. It totally put a smile on everyone's face.

Afterwards, I was supposed to go to Mark's 21st bday and Sheena's debut, but decided not to due to the fact that I had to WORK!! :( It was a big wedding weekend and I was needed to help take down in Pasadena at midnight. While I was waiting at home for the time to go, I talk to Joe online and he convinces me to go to LA so that we can go to PINKS before I head to Pasadena. Suuuure.. I had 3 hours to kill. So I drive to Joe's and we go to PINK but the line looks like its WAY over 30 minutes long so instead we drive around and go to ASTRO's.

*driving*
Joe: Have you ever gone the wrong way on a one way street? I have. Twice.

So its almost 11:20 and I have to get to the hotel... Joe's curious as to see what I do and how everything looks so he comes along with me to the Hilton. Brandi told me that the wedding would be done at midnight... but the sign outside the ballroom says 1am. ARGH. So we chill and wait it out until everyone leaves and then start getting to work taking everything down. By then the left over guests are pretty much wasted, including the bride. Actually, the bridge forgot to throw her bouquet and do the whole garter thing, so while we're taking down, the remanining guests and bridal party throw the bouquet and the garter. :) It was kinda funny because they were calling for all the leftover single people to go over to the dancefloor and there I am with unraveling twinkle lights from a pillar thinking "hmmmmm... I'm single!! Let me at it!" but I didn't go for fear of catching it, being in the wedding pictures and people asking "who's this chick?" to the bride and she'll have to respond "Oh.. I dunno. One of the wedding decorators?" That would be a weird pricess moment... Anyways a lot of hauling colums and moving things and just being strong chick overall... we finish around 2am. Take Joe back home, and I get home myself around 3am-ish. TIIIRED. Yeah... remind me next time to avoid doing "take downs" at all cost. Bleh.

Long day... classes early this morning, and then drove on over to Irvine to decorate a wedding at 11am. This one I had my doubts about when I first got there because it at this park behind the Wild Rivers amusement park. Supposedly this park used to be a zoo of some sort and the reception area used to be where the restaurant was. SO I guess it had this whole "nature/jungle vibe" to it. While I was decorating the railing on this bridge that was over some sort of moat around the building, I noticed a raccoon watching me. It had really bright and big TEETH. Uh huh... freaky. So I ran inside and hid out there because Brandi was telling me about how racoons had evil dispositions and were one of those rodents that you didn't want t mess with.

Brandi: If that racoon come back just call for me. I'll just flail my arms about... I don't know if that will do anything, but I'll come to your rescue. Just think... he's not going to attack me... he's just smiling.

But the racoon came again... this time jumped on the bridge, walked over it, and crawled in between the fence to go inside Wild Rivers. Maybe he just wanted to ride some waterslides??

Anyways, the reception area came out really really pretty with all the chiffon falling from the ceiling and tons of twinlke lights. OHHHH and my whole bridge area was just too cute because the bride really likes butterflies, and so I got to put all sorts of butterflies on my railing of ivy and twinklelights. Too cute. *take notes* On the bleh side, I was there til 5pm. I got home around 6:45pm... and then left the house around 7:10pm to meet up with Kristen for KARAOKE NIGHT! But oh wells.. it was all worth it.

Karaoke night was so much fun! :) Over very first social! :) So it was OCC and CSUF singing at Elvis!? (yeah the place was called Elvis!? with the exclamation point and the question mark. A lot of smart comments made about this) Kristen (GO MISS KEYES!), Mikie, and I pretty much went crazy with the microphone and the book-o-music. I got to sing Astrid Gilberto's version of "The Girl from Impanema" and Mikie and Kristen were going Frank Sinatra happy. :) It looks like this might become a monthy thing because there were soo many songs and not enough time or vocal strength. ;) YAAY!! Keeping in tradition, afterwards, Kristen, Stephanie, Ryan, Mikie, Janelle, her cousin Irene and myself went out to eat at Alcatraz over at the Block. It was just a really good time because we were all getting to know each other (you're filipino!!?) and just fooling around... and watched Mikie add to collection of stolen glasses. Everyone was happy and everyone was getting along and yeah... :) *good times*

I went with Joe to FRY's (aka geek heaven) yesterday to go computer shopping for my mom. First thought, I thought I got stoodup by Joe because he said 1pm ... and I sat by my window till 3pm waiting for him. *okok... that was slighty overdramatic. It was more like napped and thought "well if he does come by he can ring the doorbell or throw some rocks at my window) So finally he calls and he actually just woke up and so we meet at the store around 4. Ok... so the moment we walk in, there are 2 Fry's employees stationed in front of the tv playing video games and a whole gang of them just chillin in the cafe. WOW. CAN I WORK AT FRYS!?!? It actually was really funny because Joe and I were like.. "woah... they aren't doing anything!" okok.. you may not think its THAT funny HA HA, but we thought it was gosh darn hilarious. Since my mom has a limited budget for this computer and yet wants every gadget and gizmo on this baby, we walked over to the corner of the computer section because the corner has the cheapest systems. Watched Joe do some fancy computer talk and then got some numbers to report back to my mom with. Looked at cell phones and listened to music with the really cool Fry's music system where the music just floats right over your head. ooOooOooo. Joe was singing out loud... a bit TOO loud and so I had to run and pretend to look at porn dvds to get away from him. ;P

Anyways... as of right now I have 3 offical registered teams for CKI SOUTH! YAAAAYY!! So, now in offical Crazy Kompetition mode. Its a good thing cause I get this sort of high when I get in my organizing events craze... but my room definitely suffers. Like right now, my floor is littered with envelopes, pictures, print outs of games, fliers, markers, tshirts... and everything is all CKI related. But I like it (not the messy room aspect, but the whole "plan things out" thing). My mind has been going numb with game ideas and park confirmations and emails but I'm loving every minute of it. (BTW... we have a really REALLY great first prize.. so if you haven't registered your team yet.. DO IT!) Speaking off CKI, had a board meeting today and I swear I'm a broken record because I just love my club so much. :) They're too freaking cute. We have ideas and plans and calenders filled with stuff to do! AND we have an FTC skit concept... wow huh. ;)

Today at work... I arranged an entire colonade all by my-freaking-self. It actually came out really pretty with white roses, purple hydrangeas, and tiny mauve roses... *awww* OH and Brandi is going though this whole "lets reorganize, rebox, and fix all the flowers" phrase... and instead of "LETS" its more like "hey Nicole... can you reorganize, rebox and fix all the flowers in the shop for me?" But yet again, I like doing crap like that. (funny thought, I can't get like that for my room just yet) Like when I see the werehouse and see all the clear boxes stacked with the correct flowers in them, all crispy and ready for decorating, it make me feel gosh darn good. :)

Ok.. back to CKI. ;) Tonight we're gonna have a karaoke night. :) SoooOooOoOo.. if you wanna have a good time with a bunch of foolios who are microphone crazy... CALL ME! ;) And if you don't want to sing or anything of the cheesy sort, but just wanna call me anyways... go ahead. ;) Oh.. but if you're crazy psychotic stalker.. then.. don't.

OH! i forgot to mention that while in my throws of excitment on Slash Mountain, my glasses broke. Yeah, for some odd reason, the stem thingie on the right side of my glasses, leaving them incredibly askew on my face. And I couldn't take them off because if I did, I would have been blind with a headache. So I was walking around Disneyland with my glasses all crooked on my face (not like a little tilt crooked, but like weird quasimodo crooked) for a good hour and a half or so. When we had dinner, the girl behind the cash register looked really freaked out and asked me what the hell happened to me. I said my glasses broke while I was on a ride and really, I didn't GO to the park like that in the first place. That was when we went to Downtown Disney, where I went into the sunglasses shop praying that they would have those little glasses repair kits or extra screws behind their counter... but alas, they didn't have either. So, convinced that I would be crooked the rest of the day, I met up with the girls over in Sephora and there was a soap that was wrapped in a wire that was on display. OOOOO.. yes! I did it!! I snipped off a piece of that wire with my nail and reattached the stem thingie to my glasses and I was no longer looking sideways. :) I'm a bad bad girl huh... ;)

Things have been really good lately, even if does only consist of work, school, and cki. :) The other night, we had a service project down in the basement of the Union where we bowled with kids from the Orangewood homes. It was so great... at first the kids were kinda shy and reserved, but once we got the bowling balls in their hands, they all went pretty buck wild. :) Well, the volunteers did too. :) I actually only bowled 2 gutters!! YAY FOR ME!! My team, (GO 5!!) I think was the rowdiest cause we were just so damn happy. YAY GUTTERS!! YAY ONE PIN! YAY I LOVE YOUR VICTORY DANCE! YAY THE BOWLING BALL CAME BACK TO ME! Those 2 hours pretty much breezed by us cause all of a suddened, we were finished. Said our goodbyes to the kids... :( But on the bright side, we'll be going to their place in 2 weeks to play with them. After the kids left, Kristen, Anthony, and I indulged ourselves with a little DDR. I sucked... apparently my feet can't connect with my brain and those damn arrows... but still a lot of fun. :) Have I mentioned that I love my club? I do.. ;)

Speaking of LOVE... Has anyone seen the Bachelor? OH MY GOODNESS.. Arron is adorable!! :) He has this smile that makes you wanna smile... *sigh* pick me!! pick me!!
