HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
Pssst... today is the day where its NORMAL to be kinda freaky... ;) GO ALL OUT!!

Oh my goodness... my legs are in pain... Monday night, went to a hip hop class with Stephanie, Kristen and Janelle and man... it wasn't like "lets dance!".. it was more like "Hi... my name is Mark and I'm gonna kick your ass. Now DANCE!!" Actually, it was a lot of fun, just a real workout and now my thighs are aching pretty badly.

Anyways, today was a really cool day... Carlene and I went to Disney California Adventures today and checked out the Angels Parade... :) The park was the most crowded I've ever seen it... and everyone and their mothers were all dolled up in their Angels gear. *well duh* Once again, we scored some free thundersticks and halos... :) (this time we ACTUALLY used them.... SOO MUCH FUN!) Yeah... Can I say that Tim Salmon is damn hot and sexy and that I am so absolutely in LOVE with him!?! *grrr* We were standing up on a wall during the parade... clapping our thundersticks, and screaming like crazy!! After the parade, there was a Q&A session with some of the players and so Carlene and I got to check out the session with the Molina brothers, David Eckstein, and the oh so dreamy Tim Salmon and they were all sooooo sweet. One girl asked them what was their inspiration to continue playing and Tim Salmon got up and pointed at her and screamed "YOU!". I wish I was that girl... but really they were all so down to earth and sweet. :) Carlene got *this* close to Jose Molina and getting his autograph... but alas no... he had to go. OHHH!! They also had that kid that was dressed up as a rally monkey at the games IN the parade... OH!! AND the real rally monkey too!! I was impressed. Anyways, I'm really glad that Carlene forced me to watch the the games with her because now I'm actually interested in and enjoy the sport... YAY! I'm a horrid *gasp* bandwagon fan... but hey.. you gotta start somewhere!! I used to think that it was really borning... but now... its pretty cool. I still dont understand statistics and such... but I do know the basics... and that those guys are damn cute! ;)

Nicole: Baseball players are so much cuter than basketball players...
Carlene: They're whiter...
*I also think the uniform does something for them too... ;)

Admist all the Angel happenings... we went around the park were Carlene almost puked on the roller coaster ("why are you nervous? It only goes 55 miles per ho... OH MY GOOOOODDDDDD!") and I went to the "Its Fun to Be a Bug" 3D movie without crying. Went to the new "Flicks Fun Fair" were we noticed that the benches are made out of giant popcicle sticks... and like half of it was dyed by the "popcicle"... too cute! And "slim" the stickbug hidden within the bamboo just made me laugh... again... and again... and again... "I'M THE STICK WITH THE EYEBALLS!" ;)

Anyways, I'm excited for this upcoming weekend. :) So much going on... and its going so much fun! PLUS its Halloween, I have a costume AND actually have plans.. ;) Ooohhh yeeahhh...

YAAAY ANGELS!!! :) Carlene made me watch games 6 and 7 with her... so I'm understanding the game more. :) Soooo double YAAAY!! Now Orange County will riot... go to Disneyland in turn over a tram or something wicked and wild like that. Or perhaps not. :)

Carlene: I really want the Angels to win.... so Disney can make a movie out of it.

Carlene: They're called the "Angels".. they're like on God's side....
~Actually, I think this is really funny because I was driving pass a chuch in Fullerton, and outside there was a message box of some sort and it said GO ANGELS!! really really big... and then underneath, it had a quote from the scriptures in a smaller font. Weirdness.

I was going through some of my old notes from high school, freshman year, today and I was seriously dying because some of them were just soo funny!
"Are you going to the dance on Friday? I'm pissed because I can't because my dad said if I go, I won't get any good grades and I'll probably have a boyfriend and get pregnant. Stupid!"
~she did become pregnant 4 years later...

The really funny ones were from Lisa, who was just so brutally honest and mean...
"Do you really want to watch movies? I do. What is there to watch? Dumb and Dumber with Jim Carrey? Does Sarah really think she's going with us? I hope not. I wonder who will go with Jessica to the Mistletoe Masquerade? I feel sorry for that person."

These notes were just hilarious because a lot of them seemed rather ghetto... and the note writers were girls in a catholic school in Glendora! :) Not only were we ghetto... we were freaking BOY CRAZY!! I'm looking back and I'm wondering who are all these boys we were writing about!!?! Like ok.. Lisa, Mel if you can help me.. who was Chris!?! I dunno... It made me remember the days of Mr Dennison "aka Senor Chipmunk", dances were we all had to scramble to find a date (definitely not a perk in an all girl high school), and going "out" just to find some boys...

Anyways, speaking of those crazy high school days, Carlene and I seriously wanna throw one of those old school garage parties. :) You know... djs in the garage with sheets over the shelves so that people wouldn't see your crap. :) Fog machines and lazer rays... Dance crews coming and performing their latest routine, *the radio plays our favorite song and thats what keeps me holding on* kind of jams, and you know if it was REALLY REALLY good, the dj would start freestyling rapping. *oh memories* And afterwards, we'll all go to starshots and take some giant ass group pics... ;) Yeah.. its GOING happen... just wait. ;) I'll let you know...

I love my family and family dinners. :) I just love the fact that I can easily converse and joke around with my uncles and aunties as well as my cousins and that everytime we do get together, I just know its going to be a lot of fun. I saw "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" a while ago and it totally reminded me of my family... how they're just HUGE in general and how when you think "a small family gathering" it really is the ENTIRE FAMILY... aunts, uncles, cousins, family friends who are considered aunts and uncles, EVERYONE... and how everyone is willing to help even if you don't need it, they're there. But yeah, I totally love times like today when we all just sit down and fool around... Yeah, most of the time we're making fun of Jr... but hey we LOVE him. :) He's just too funny sometimes and we can't help it. (One time in HS, he had to carry around a fake robot baby that cried like every 20 minutes...so he brought it to a family party. But his was a black baby *all the other asain looking babies were taken* and it was sooo ghetto wearing only a diaper, a raggity tshirt and a baseball cap. So the running joke of the night was that jr had cybersex with some chick and she send the baby to its daddy. ;)) He pretty much gives us a LOT of fuel to burn with all his crazy girlfriends and exploits and so on and so on and so on... ;) But I love him... I wouldn't trade him for a nice pair of shoes. ;)

*fortune cookies*
jr: mine says that I will be hearing good news soon. oooh yeeeaah... something might happen tonight!
nicole: yeah some girl is going to come up to you and say "I'm not pregnant!"
carlene: or "You didn't give to me!" or "The rash will be gone in 4 days!!"

jr: how's ________?
carlene: I dunno... she's a whore.
jr: oh yeah? HOOK IT UP!

:) OH! You know what I noticed... on October 24th it was my blogspot's 2nd birthday!! Yes ladies and gentlemen... I am a certified DORK. Its hard to believe that I have been writing in this for 2 years... oh wait.. its not that hard because I can go back and relive all those crazy times. But a great big THANKS to Blogger for allowing me to express myself in such a intersting and public manner. I think over the past 2 years, I've found a way to vent, relax, be silly, and to just capture those moments of my life that maybe in 20 years I won't remember. And thanks to you... crazy hopefully non-psychotic reader (all 8 of you!). If you've been reading this for past 2 years (If I'm insane for writing... then you're pretty insane as well for reading it this long!) or maybe just the past 2 days... thanks for looking and thanks for caring even just a little.

OHHH!! Before I forget.. a great big Happy Birthday to my cousin Angel who's turning 18. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGEL! *MUAH*You know what this means now... all the Concepcion girls are old enough to go *wink* clubbing.... UH OH... ;)

:) I've been extremely scatterbrained lately... i really dont know why but I am. People would think that maybe I have a lot of my mind... or Carrie insist that I have "someone" on my mind... but honestly, I really don't. I'm just not thinking clearly. Like take yesterday for instance, I competely forgot about my club's "halloween pre-preparation" as well as chillin with Beth... Weirdness... on the brightside, the ATM card that I thought that I had lost for the second time this month (the first time I had left it in the ATM machine and the bank called) I found the other day inside my car. Soooo yay!! No more lost ATM card!

Hmmmm... so anything new? Gosh darnit.. I had something interesting to blog about but i FORGOT! Curse it all to hell!! Hmmmmm.. let me think a bit.

In the meantime, let me gush my love for my homeclub. :) Yeeeep... they are way too cute! Everyone is happy and friendly, theres great chemistry between everyone, and overall just GREAT times everytime we do something. Our board meetings are too much fun and I swear, everyone's mouths are hurting from laughing too much. :) They're a great bunch and I'm totally happy to be a part of it.

Hmm... I still don't remember what I was going to blog about!! FREAK!!

Um... I got new cute dress for Masquerade. :) I was debating on getting dress or halloween costume because I had found this REALLY REALLY adorable "french maid" costume while shopping. OKOK!! NOW I KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING TO BLOG ABOUT! :) Ok.. so yeah, I found this cute costume and I was really torn between getting it or not because I'm only going to use it ONE TIME this entire year. ONE TIME... so I was thinking like wouldn't it be wonderful if Halloween was like a monthly holiday... so that people can dress up like freaks more than one time a year? Or like if it were perfectly acceptable to dress up like a french maid like on a wednesday afternoon in April without really having to be a french maid? See.. I would have gotten the costume just for trick-or-treating for donations (CKI style) but I dunno... usually french maid costumes are pretty skanky/sexy (however way you see it) and I would be kind of weird wearing it to a CKI thing... rather to some wild ON E! halloween party... now if there WAS some party that I knew of, then maybe... but since there isn't... then nah.

Growing up, we had cute costumes at first when my nanang made them (I was a carebear... carlene was rainbow brite... and she also made our devil and witch costumes) but getting older, it was more like a "look in the closet and be CREATIVE" which is a good thing, but often resulted in kinda crappy costumes. SO there were gypsies, hippies, opera singers, bloodied doctors, housewife... etc. One year Carlene and I used our flower girl dresses that we had worn in weddings and we were to be princesses!! YAY! An actually pretty girlie costume! But instead of buying fancy tiaras form the store, my mom cut crowns out of orange construction paper and put glitter on them. So that night, while we were trick-or-treating at the Montclair Mall with Melissa, Nick, and Maria... Melissa and Maria and REAL crowns... and Carlene and I had our sad "sort of looks like Burger King" crowns to go with our fancy dresses. To this day, Mel still makes fun of my ghetto crown... ;P OH wells, those were still some good times. :)

*awww* :)

Since while in this downloading mp3 frenzy... I've been downloading songs I think were on my old computer and just songs that come to my mind. Actually I'm downloading a lot of old songs.. and you know how sometimes you have a song that you affliate with a certain memory? Yeah... I've found a lot of them. Right now, I'm in this "slow jam" mode and so my heart is making these retarded flutters for certain songs because of those certain "romantic" memories. Its nothing really juicy... they're small little things.. like "oh this is the song that I remember was playing while writing in my diary about this crush " or "this song totally reminds me of another crush" or my favorite "this is the song that when I was 12 years old... I pretended to slow danced to in my bedroom with Paul Sheilds" (stop laughing Keri) Sweet, innocent and cute things... and so my mind simply goes back to a time when everything was hokey and boys were simple. (they pulled on your hair... and *boom* you were in love) Amazingly enough, a lot of these songs are back from my highschool/elementary days... Those early silly schoolgirl crushes were like deep impacts in your life. I can totally look back and laugh at them now, but crushes like that were magical. And so when I hear these songs, its like the magic comes back *as cheesy as it is* and puts me in this super lovey dovey mentality that love is really out there...
