Imma Slippin'!

sorry! i used to be so good at keeping this journal up. but in my defense, the times that i have devoted to writing in this have been replaced by... sleeping! just going to sleep earlier that's all. but it's a good sleep. so far i have lost 13 lbs! the routine is that when i get home from work, i have a 30 minute window until my sister comes home. so during that time i go out into the frosty air for a run, or do some cardio at home with the help of exercise tv on demand, or play some ddr. next thing to get is guitar hero since the last time i played it i got a hella workout. then again i was playing it with my guitar hero super buddy. i can't believe how hot we got! daymn!

so it's been pretty busy this past week with all the birthdays goin around! party everynight! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to two of my Lil Sisters, of whom I love with all my heart! It's so funny cuz when i think of them, they were the FIRST to ever call me Kuya. ulk. that was almost 12 years ago, when they were still in high school. wow... just took a trip, actually more of a journey, down memory lane with them and everybody. good times. good times.

gettting back to everything we did this past weekend... had a birthday luncheon, saw dreamgirls with one of my favorite people in the world (i HAD to watch it again), listened to my favorite band, TAAL, watched st dvd (very impressed at quality), found easter eggs (found out that there's ONE more i need to find), went with familia to OPA OPA (yum!), then to folsom outlets for special gifts (thanks sis for idea, and lu for size), taco smell for 20!!!! caramel apple empenadas, then :(, (i was planning on leaving at 9ish, but this time spent with MY family means more to me than work. wound up leaving around 1am.) monday rest. tuesday 12 hour day at work - couldn't make it to sac for another bday dinner. wed - because of prev long day, i said that i'm leaving at 3pm to go up to sac for the Nag's bday dinner. found a wells in downtown n went to pick up xLe, and made it back to 3 hermananas for SURPRISE! yup, i was surprised by how good the chips are there! joke lang! gave sis the keychain i caught her eyeing last month. i had a brief thought of getting the mario mug, but i can't be slick carrying that around with peeps asking what's that big bulge in my pocket. "it's mario's head" just didn't sound right.

but yeah... my RENT Bro has left the 916. I did tell him to keep his 916 phone number though, and that he promised he will. especially since we're both with cingular. mobile-to-mobile baby! i wonder how many of us are with them. but i digress, it was a sad night. there was so much i wanted to say, but i couldn't formulate the words. i did get to post it on his HELLA DOPED DESIGNED myspace page! so that everyone will know how i feel about this man. i call him my RENT bro, not only because we LOVE RENT, but... well that is why i call him by RENT brother, but i guess it was a saturday we shared when we saw RENT TWICE in one day in san jose. the 2nd time was front row center! and he dragged me from person to person in the cast to take a picture with him. just his exuberance with life and what it really means to be alive is what'll stay with all of us. i don't want to make this too melodramatic though, cuz he is still just a phone call/text away! :) not like...

it's almost coming up on 2 years since beej left... some peeps are getting together in SF to celebrate his life and that's what i'll do as well. i miss him. a lot.

take care of yalls.
