"run to the sun."

i just recently found my n.e.r.d. "in search of" (which i think is their best album by far) while cleaning out my room and this song has been in heavy rotation in my mind.

after weeks of postponing due to scheduling conflicts and
other complications...i finally took ashley to p.f. changs.
she's never been so it was an interesting experience.
good convo as always and a good time as expected.

it's been a very interesting and random break for me.
apart from what's been posted already...
i went to downtown fullerton with angela last night.
normally...i would want to go with a crew or
at least more than two people but i wasn't
looking for some wild and crazy night...
just a chill time with an old friend.
yeah...perhaps that's why
i wasn't feeling the vibe as much
and what not but i just enjoyed the fact
that i was able to hang out with angela and vibe out.
because in the end...it's not what you do with someone
that defines a moment...it's simply just who you're with ya dig?

i didn't manage to go to morning mass like i planned to...
i blame that on staying up late and sleeping in.
however...i did visit the chapel every day.
it provided me with time to just calm myself down
and meditate on the spiritual side of life for awhile.
and as of this past monday...it's official:
i'll be teaching con2 again with ed noriega as my assistant.
same day...same time.
i'm glad to still be involved in some way with religious education
since i won't be so active with cross+training events
in the months leading to my graduation from concorde.

today was extremely chill...
all plans except for one were rescheduled.
the one plan?
that was lunch with kim and emma.
it was nice since i've never quite chilled with her...
always with a group including her
or at a gathering involving her but never her.
it really was great to focus more on a friend
and see them as they are better.
treated her and emma (who is adorable and cool!)
to cpk (where i ran into bianca and sergio working there).
it's funny that i haven't gone to cpk in like 10 years
and now i've gone there two times in the past week.
also had pinkberry...which was actually the first time
i've ever bought some for myself.
had it before but it was always
someone else's treat. random but go figure.
randomly saw cherisse walking her dog
(but i guess not for kim since they're neighbors).
went to lowes to finalize paint colors for my room
(yeah the project that's two years in the making)
and rented definitely, maybe from redbox
(where i ran into krystal...who i haven't seen in months).

hahaha...i'm loving the excessive use of parentheses.

anyways...definitely, maybe has got to be
the best romantic movie i've seen in a long time.
it was very profound at times and very fresh.
it just didn't look like some other romantic movies...
the ending was obviously happy but the
journey to get to the destination was
surprisingly creative and remarkable.
i recommend everyone to watch it...
lovers and love-haters alike.

got my ticket for the pacific island dancers show
this saturday. it took me forever and a half to
find meagan at the chino civic center...but it turns
out that she was at that community center across the street.
haha...finding her was harder than a lot of things
i do at the hospital. anyways...it's going to be very nostalgic.
i went to the show three years ago
with ray and marie bucoy.
it's a reminder of how things have changed.
i'm sad that marie won't be able to make it
(i haven't chilled with her since early last year)
but i'm happy to support the huynh royalty,
martin, katrina, demy, and the others i know.

i surprised my grandma tonight with a gift of diet pepsi and a card.
originally was going to get her and my tatay food but
this was more convenient and appropriate.
i just wanted to do something super nice for her apart
from the usual things i help my grandparents out with.
i'm glad and blessed and thankful to save such
amazing grandparents and i just wanted to affirm them
randomly tonight haha.

watched american history x
in its entirety finally a couple of hours ago.
(just like dirty dancing two days ago haha).
damn...edward norton in the film along with fight club
doesn't need anything else to prove
his worth as a good actor...this is all he needs.
such a good movie...so thought-provoking and real.
i seriously have been missing out on a good part of life
by not having completely watched this film before.
go watch it along with definitely, maybe!
talk about a difference in genres.

this school break wasn't as extravagant or crazy as the last one...
but it was still positively memorable and very rewarding.
i gained new insight on many things,
i worked on home projects i've set aside because of school,
i nurtured friendships both old and new,
and i granted myself the time and space
to relax and just reinvigorate myself for the next class.

once again i have to say that i may not have a summer vacation...
but i'm having a wonderful summa-summa-summertime!

hooray for all the "finally," "randomly," "for the first time," and "for the first time in the longest time" moments! hahahaha...good night y'all!
