[Dear Jenna - wtf, your a life saver. i found my 3 yr old blog because of you and i HAVE no idea who the hell i was talking about back then. in any case, thanks. ]

 "San Antonio's are flirts - its a gift and a curse all at the same time"

Case in point, the sudden turn of events made me realize i'm going to devote myself to write in this blog... religiously. lame i know, but I have 8 hours of work everyday so get ready to read some nonsense efforts of trying to keep a diary of my life as very detailed as possible. As promised you will see a daily dear Jesylee, Jenna and maybe other dear ______ if you want me to

Having come across this damn blog since 2005, things have changed drastically. no point in trying to remember EVERYTHING that happened the past three years ( mainly because I don't remember it ) but here are a few key points - for my pleasure [ maybe yours too]

10/21/06: SPUF BABY.

12/06-6/06 : endless debaucheries with cousins, coworkers, cpk incident, a hell of a lot of drunken nonsense, nights in riverside, no bueno mornings and the introduction of my obsession with beer.

3/24/2007: 21, baby. went blonde (wtf was I thinking?) Dinner with the fambam/drunken nonsense at redroom with marie, michaele, charrlie, bobby and jamison/dinner with the soul sistas/Clubbing in Hollywood.

07/26/07: The night anne almost got arrested for public drunkeness

[dear Jesylee: "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." - Leo Tolstoy. I'm glad things are changing around for you and things are getting back in track. Nowadays I feel myself getting a little bit tired of the "get drunk" scene and more into "let's kick back and chill." Though disneyland has its perks I always see you tired or just coming in on a saturday night from work. shit kills when everyone has a day off, except you. BTW, i'm looking forward to having my kids' minds be corrupted by their tita. HAHA. just know you'll always have me to either kickback or get crazy with. [DTF TOMORROW? ] BTW, did you find out yet? LOLOL.]

[dear Jenna: YOU BETTER update that religiously. I never see you anymore with your busy life. ]

 "Each day is a new canvas to paint upon. Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness, and at the end of the day you don't look at it and wish you had painted something different. " - Author Unknown

 Nowadays i feel like being a graduate from college doesn't make me feel any more accomplished than if I wasn't. There's so many things to do in this life that one lifetime isn't enough to do everything... let alone appreciate everything that's been given. Life throws you around through so many obstacles it's a struggle to even see why we do the things we do in the first place. For instance, the goals for myself may be different for another person's. I have a couple friends who had their life altered because they had children and ever since then it has changed significantly. One of my goals could be playing the guitar but theirs is life insurance, save enough money for their kids to go to school, have enough money to see their kids prosper and many more. Earlier days there was a constant struggle between us because we felt like we didn't have anything in common anymore but as the days go by we  accepted the way things are. It made me realize that even though our goals can be from opposite ends of the spectrum...we're all doing it for the same purpose anyway: to make our lives more meaningful.

On a lighter note, i'm seeing NE-YO tonight [ live from Jimmy Kimmel] at El Capitan with Michaele, should be interesting. I have never been obsessed with an artist (even anything) before, let alone be in a crowd of screaming fans trying to get a piece of his body. haha, this is going to be fun. Right after it's time for some cosmic bowling [ by the way is ANYONE interested in joining me in a league? ] with the friends.  I feel myself getting sick again, I never have the time (or maybe i do, i just don't make it) to actually rest, sit down and watch TV. Ever since I bought the complete series of FRIENDS, i've been interested in watching other shows.. so if your looking for a good laugh tune into these: How I Met your Mother [ ESPECIALLY THIS ONE], The Big Bang Theory, Arrested Development & Ugly Betty. goooood stuff man, gooood stuff.

I've been having reoccuring dreams about my mom lately.. I guess because I haven't seen her in 2 1/2 years. It's just a slap in the face sometimes when I see people disrespect, yell and complain about their mommies when theyre fortunate enough to see them everyday. Its a luxury most people take advantage of.

Until next time...

and you still are...

[dear Jenna:  the time has come for us to hang out again, I still need to go shopping for your sister's debut. I feel so damn old, haha. Pismo Beach trip soon? splash cafe yuuuuum.]

 "It's never too late to be what you might have been."                                      - George Elliot
                                                             

Mission to watch Ne-Yo: FAILED. With the doors opening at 6:15, Michaele and I arrived around 6:45 and the line was a mile long, with slutty looking tweenies that couldn't give a rats ass if their nipples were hanging out so we bailed. I've never really been to hollywood&highland for the purpose of shopping and walking around, it's usually to get drunk and walk around either drunk or draded. goooooood times btw. Anyways, so we shop around a little bit and we decide to hit up this french dip joint. While we were eating some random dude starts talking to us and here's how the convo went:

wierd guy: I just didn't want to walk out of this restaurant knowing that I didn't tell you two how beautiful you girls are.

us: wtf? thanks...

so the convo keeps going and he asks me a question and while i was talking he says

wierd guy: i'm sorry, are those your real eyes

me: no why?

weird guy: I'm sorry they were mesmerizing me while you were talking

us: wtf?

so the convo keeps going and eventually we faded him out but it got me thinking: how much balls can one guy have to be that ridiculous? There's a lot of different guys out there who can't even say hi to anyone let alone tell them how "mesmerized they are." Take for example a friend that I have, let's call him Gilbert (LOLOL) sweet guy (although sometimes very neurotic, and sex obsessed) and down for anything, he can't even have the guts to come up to a girl without ventilating and wanting to die. what experiences must have these both gone through for one of them to be super shy and the other one being ridiculously overbearing? Whether it's too much confidence or no confidence at all, It's hard to just come up to someone and ask them how their doing, especially when sexual politics are involved.

I have no idea where i'm going with this, but I just think if a guy were to come up to a girl and give off the vibe that their genuinely interested, and not there just to stare at her tits and body or wanting to fuck [ though gilbert's missions always fail because he really just wants to fuck] - I think you would have a pretty good conversation. - girls can sense asshole's and if you treat us like an asshole, we'll respond like a bitch.

On a different note, dinner with the girls is going to be fun. I still can't believe we've been friends for 8 years and even though there are friendships that have been longer, staying a GROUP for 8 years is impeccable. Victoria Gardens and Cheesecake Factory sound bomb right now but we'll see After that DTF is around the corner, time to get plastered again or see people get plastered hint.anne&erin.hint. LOLOL

until next time...

[dear jenna: i'm sure you passed the test, your a lot smarter than you think you are... hey man if you can get into your masters your smarter than me! keep your head up i know you'll do great. regards to WFG, it's honestly the type of business you want to do where you can dedicate all your time to it. if it's not working out for you then maybe that path isn't right for you at this time. I'm sure you can get anything anywhere just so you can have a little cash. oh the broke college days LOLOL]

[current thought:] Can alcohol cure a cold? [because I was feeling a bit under the weather before drinking, and now I feel more revived than ever]

"There are two situations that make interesting stories: when an extraordinary person is plunged into the commonplace, and when an ordinary person gets involved in extraordinary events." - Sister Helen Prejean

These are the days that I live for: the nights we vaguely remember, the "remember when's...," "I can't believe...." and the lifetime of memories." In life, you'll realize you don't have to befriend everybody... you only need a few good friends to make your life complete."

I'm surprisingly upbeat from the 4am shenanigans that happened last night. The night started out with Julian and I going shot for shot at the apartment. 1 turned into 3 then three turned into 6... by the time we left Julian and I were wasted HAHA. We rolled deep with 13 and from that moment on, everything was hazy and I vaguely remember that i spent soooooo muchhh money! aGH. It was a surprise to see so many familiar faces there. After buying Anne and Joy 2 patron shots and a chocolate cake shot, I saw Chris, Mike, and Lubos girls. It was nice to see them again. dancing the night away with the girls is always fun, especially since sometimes we always look like were in a gangbang . Julian was sooooooo fucked up he couldn't stand, and he told me things I don't think I should display in public... let's just leave it at that hahahaha. He was so drunk he was carried to the front door, so that was an inclination that we needed to leave pronto. When i went to the restroom ANNE was puking in the restroom, hands all over the dirty toilet...... ahahaahhahahahah goood times. She didn't want to leave the toilet so after 30 minutes, the bouncer had to carry her out.

This entry may be a dense and uninteresting, but like what I said these are they days that I live for... goooooood fcukin' times man.

As for tonight, It's Pasadena time with a few old coworkers ( if the plan still pulls through ) or a nice quiet evening alone at home to recuperate and get ready for the 4 event fiesta this weekend :

saturday: Luau, Imee's Birthday, Jared's Birthday

sunday: lobster fest suckaaaaaa

keep the good times rollin'.

Until next time:

[dear jesylee: i'm so glad you came out to the party even if I wasn't there. woman i called you and told you I couldn't come anymore because i was wayyyy too drunk for my own good. I think i'm going to stop partying for a bit - AGHHHHH.]

[dear jenna: i hope you feel better cousin! if I was a little bit more coherent this past weekend i would have definitely brought you some chicken soup with a soda on the side. I LOVE YOU!]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IMEE (24) and JARED (21) !!!!!!

The weekend was pretty damn eventful and fun - sometimes i get into stages where i shun off alcohol for a while and just watch my friends get drunk but lately it's been everyone watching me get drunk. no bueeeeenooo. I think i'm going to lay off the goods for a bit, until it's a really good occassion (vegas in november) because my liver is crying and saying vulgar words to me. This weekend pretty much became dedicated for me to hang out with different types of crowds, thursday was with the regular get drunk too much crew,  friday was with the ex- coworkers, saturday was with the barkada drunkards / the soul sistas.

Friday was pretty eventful, old town pasadena always does the trick for me. Even if it was just bobby, marie and I for most of the time we enjoyed ourselves. The bars in pasadena really reflects the type of people that go into it. Such bars like Menage, Barcelona and Neomeze - the pretty get all dressed up and dolled up ladies and gentlemen go to. Drinks there are highly overpriced ( after the incident in Neomeze with some of the cousins and I spend like 80 bucks for four drinks has shunned me from the place FOREVER). 35er bar was not really my thing until recently a magical underground club appeared before my eyes, with it being free to get in and nice good music - this is the place really where you want to be. The drinks are really cheap and the people are crazy. Anyways, since Marie's brother was the dj, he hooked us up pretty good; good enough to get us completely wasted. good times with old friends. Mr. Selva joined us for the night and I bought him a four horsemen ( which he did not know wteff that was.. WTF?) and got him TKO for the night. your welcome buddy! After 35er, we hit up wockano and headed home around 4AM.

Saturday was the definition of drunkfest 2008. Half the time I was in that beach I had NO RECOLLECTION of what happened. Gilb and I brought our friends Mickey's and 151. while "mendoza mendoza" brought the soco and Vinz contributed the wild turkey and steel reserve. all the alcohol for sure made everyone tipsy and the day couldn't have been better. Rodney was the man of the hour from him marrying Christine Mendoza, which will mean WHEN THEY do get married it will be "christine mendoza mendoza" hahahahaha, good one rodney. I made new friends in my drunken state - but don't worry I still remember them! hopefully. :/ . Around 8 Gilb and I bounced and I went to Imee's for the night. I was glad to see most of the existing soul sistas there - it was nice to catch up with them. Some of Imee's friends from vegas came over too and it was chill to see them. Around the stroke of midnight I kept getting calls from jared ( IM SO SORRY STILL I COULDNT GO TO YOUR PARTY ) anne, jesylee and many others. Those drunkasses never fail to make me feel bad for not coming to something - hahahaha im jk. Imee's house was good and lots of fun - we'll leave it at that. ( Thanks Jonny! - if you know what I mean )

Lobster fest was supposed to be the itinerary for sunday but in my state - i needed to recover from the WHOLE WEEKEND. Had dinner with the girls and ron last night at Yard House, then after went to starbucks to chill. Good times with good friends

This type of weekend was a no bueno for me. but it was fun all in all - no drinking till november! hahahaha

Since Joy and I weren't able to go to jared's party ( sorry again ) we're going to DTF on tuesday night . We'll see how this night goes... hahahahahaha

Till next time

hahahaa, damn.

[dear jesylee: on lessons on love, it is very hard to give you advice when I, myself, am bewildered by it. But all I know is this - it doesn't take rocket science to know that someone will come along usually at times when you least expect it. The five of us know by now ( you, jenna, lani, kels & I) that I can be the person who can tell you that being with someone that you don't love ( just because you need someone there ) is not the right path to go because somewhere along the way - someone else is trying to find you too.]

[dear jenna: you and normander are cute x 10. I hope your workout regime works ( though i don't think you don't need to lose weight at all - any skinnier I can send you through a fax machine) and you guys fulfill your promises... hahah. thanks for the talk last night it really helped a lot! ]

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending."

“The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.”

“Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see Life with a clearer view again.”

"You'll benefit more from learning what happy looks like alone, rather than what misery looks like embraced..."

It is always good to know that you have people in your life that will be there no matter what. Though acquaintances, friends and boyfriends may go... you still have your family with you through thick and thin. It's very rare to come across a family that has the closeness that we do and believe it or not, every non- family being always wants to be a part of it. Like every dysfunctional family out there we fight, squabble and wrestle but by the end of the day we're always there for each other.

If I haven't expressed it enough, the most important thing in my life is family. It's unfortunate to see people nowadays that don't have the luxury to experience that bond. So if you do have it, hold unto it. Family is a magnificence that everyone seems to take advantage of.

[current thought: Lani, i agree with you 100%]

 “Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.”

The days are getting colder and the nights are growing longer - yet I still find myself wanting everything to stay still. Breaking out of your comfort zone is the hardest challenge that anyone can overcome, i've learned recently. As the days, years and month's go by what may have seemed important in the present is long gone. Priorities change, perspective's change and your outlook in what could be, and what should be is indifferent.

It's funny how when you finally realize you can come to terms with the way you live your life, someone or something has the power to change it. Whether it's bad or good for you, the question really is: will you let this change alter your life? For something or someone that can be that powerful to modify it, will you let it let you break out of your comfort zone, or dig you deeper into your epitome of "what life should be?"

I guess that's the question that every person should ponder about.

“True luck consists not in holding the best of the cards at the table; luckiest he who knows just when to rise and go home”

"Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game."

I'm still waiting for a sign.

"I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough."

- noah, The Notebook

OMG, I just realized how my blogging can be so uneventful if i'm at work 9-5 everyday. I've been waiting impatiently for the weekend or after work to do something meaningful. In a way it's kind of a good thing that I do blog so at least I know I have to ( or should want to) do something exciting.

I'm starting to take voice lessons (so i don't scare people away when I sing) and it's something new to do. I've been failing horribly with my guitar lessons because I haven't been able to practice and the only song I can play is I miss you by Incubus. No one has been able to respond to me about the "dream team" bowling league ( I just made it up - impressive huh) so that might be put on hold for now haha. My mission to get a tattoo of my last name in Alibata is going to be completed soon .  It's going to be featured in the top right side of my back, let's just hope i don't cry so hard. ( i have a very low threshold for pain) . I need to have wine tasting mini adventures again! someone go with meeeeeeeeee...

I'm going to be moving in the middle to end of october with Imee. Her parents are retiring to the Philippines so they need to rent out their house. It's going to be fun living outside of home for the first time and I'm sure Imee and I will have some pretty good times if we live together. Don't worry Imz, i'm very very very clean lol ( NOT OCD though )

 This past Tuesday, Jared, Paulo, Khaing, Jonel Rodney, Kim & I went to DTF for Jared's birthday. It was a pretty eventful turn out but Jared seemed like he needed to puke every 3.5 seconds haha. I did uphold my promise that I wasn't going to drink anymore so I was DD for the night. Next time Jared we'll make it more wild - when we roll like 20 deep again ahaha.

It's funny how Monday, I only knew of one event happening then Tuesday rolls by and my week is completely full. Here's the sched:

Wednesday: singing lessons

Thursday: Dinner with Soul Sistas/ V20 with Jam and Mimi

Friday: Geoff's church fair & Yardhouse/ Rage with Jared

Saturday: Mike's birthday dinner/ Christian's birthday clubbing at Area with Michaele

Sunday: Pasadena shopping baby!

[ if anyone is willing to join me in my miscellaneous adventures, please do so! ]

"Life is a succession of moments. To live each one is to succeed."

Since the internet was down at work last Friday, I wasn't able to update on how thursday night went with Jam & Mimi. The weekend was very eventful - it was non stop partying with good friends.

Thursday night went exceptionally well. It was my first time at V2o and it was a great first time with jam & mimi. it's been a long time for me since i've been clubbing, ever since I turned 21, we always went to bars. It's been my first official club since vegas and even in vegas we all just danced in our own little VIP section ahah. The night started off with a couple shots of patron, followed by a couple on long islands at mai tai's. I will always remember mai tai as the place where joy puked her brains out and got kicked out... LOL good times V2o was actually a pretty big club if you observed it well but as always like every club i go to it seems like its always asian night. Don't get me wrong i'm asian myself but when I go to places I like diversity. While I was trying to be in the middle of being fcuked up and sober, Jam was sooo fcuked up, homegirl was going crazy. ahaha, it was funny to see her that way because I haven't partied with her like that since we were both under 21. When we got to the dance floor all of a sudden I felt an urge of shyness ( me? shy? WTF?) - i have no idea why I felt shy maybe because I wasn't in the mood or something but as I began to let go and just enjoy the moment some dude started getting really agressive and I remembered why I avoided clubs in the first place. It may seem prude - ish, i just don't get a good vibe when people that I don't even know are touching me =/ haha.  The night ended very well ( a smoke here and there, all these guys hitting on jam & mimi) and we called it a night. good times.

Friday night I had the option of going to a club with Jared but I decided to just kick back and enjoy the evening with perry, fallon, geoff and joy. All 5 of us went to a church festival in Chino Hills. Saw a couple friends there and I felt like i was really old, everyone there was at least under 18. One of the main reasons WHY we were there for so long was so Geoff could play his damn mouse game and after losing like a million bucks we ended our night at yardhouse. It's been a long time since we all hung out so it was good times with them as always. I drank a long island and half a mojito and for some odd reason I was extremely buzzed. I don't know what's happening with me but the more often I drink the easier it is for me to get buzzed/drunk. We all drank a little, talked a little and ended the night around 12.

Saturday morning/Afternoon I spent my day being a TOTAL lop, i didn't do ANYTHING at all. my goals for the day we're to go grocery shopping and laundy and all I did was lie on the bed. hahaha, it's good sometimes to not be doing anything and just having time for yourself. At night I met up with Michaele and we headed to Area for Christian's birthday. On the way there Michaele made a screwdriver ( which i've never tasted before) and a few gulps of that bad boy made my night. We got there, took a patron birthday shot with Christian and me and Michaele were dunzo. I don't know why, but it's always great fcuking times with that girl - there's never a dull moment with her. Area is a really nice club, very high end and expensive looking and everyone looked very dolled up and nice. Looking back to what happened thursday night I decided to just let loose, let go and enjoy life. The music was bangin' so a bunch of us just danced the whole night. I thought my legs were going to break off because my heels were about 4 inches but the night ended very well. Met a few good people, had a smoke here and there and saw some old friends like jrose & bernice. good timessssssss.

Sunday was so relaxing. I had lunch with Imee, and it was good to catch up with her again because we haven't had a one on one in so long. Even though we've been friends for almost 10 years now, I haven't felt as close to her as I do now. Man, i love that chick After that I went to church, chilled with the loves and relaxed at home.

There are really no plans yet for this upcoming week except clubbing at LAX with Michaele, Marie, & Bobby & Leah's party at DC house. anyone want to join me at a comedy club & Sushi this week? BTW, I really want to go to Oktoberfest ( SO ALL YOU BEER LOVERS)... let's gooooo!  click or copy/paste link: http://www.alpinevillage.net/oktoberfest.htm

It's wierd how I go through phases where all I want to do is just sit at home, relax, and watch tv and then I do a total 180 and I become this alcoholic party animal. I guess that's how life works, but all i know is that I have and should enjoy life as much as I can. I feel like i accomplished very many things in life that I should be proud of and this is my way to reward myself - good ole' times with good friends. cheers.

until next time...

I have never really been into watching tv shows before, but ever since i've graduated i've been watching waaaaaaaaay too many tv shows & reading waaaaaaay too many books. ( I don't care if I'm a nerd - I love it!)

TV Shows I've been obsessed with lately:

• FRIENDS
• BIG BANG THEORY
• HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
• FAMILY GUY
• HEROES
• THE TUDORS
• ONE TREE HILL
