111602day one

so i have seemed to live out my seven days of the ring. today is my day one of non-ring phenomena. today is so effing gloomy. its raining. its grey out. took dana home this morning (she spent the night) and my plans for today are to be determined. jam at rinas? watch a movie/laser tag/mall with my gang green? i am unsure about that as i am with how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop.

yesterday(friday) was fun though:

lets see. began the day as usual. actually i woke up later than i wanted to.. but whats new. did the usual at school. then afterschool.. made quick stops at gaby's and mine. actually i dropped her off and went to mine.. took a shower (marc called me right in the middle of it to ask where i was at) and picked her back up to head back to the school (all done in twenty minutes). why back to school?? for the open mic of course! so the rest of the time we set up the schola designed by kristina tendilla and photography by roberto rubber toe jamora. the set was bangin. i added my touch with my black drapes and the unusual use of chairs for props. did i say the set was bangin? im sorry. i lied. it was bangably effing awesome. it deserves a fuck yeah. anyway. the open mic went on until about 5 o clock for me because of cleaning up.. it ended about 4 slash 4 thirty ish. the turn out? we packed the schola until there were no seats.. no wall space to lean on.. and even finding a place to stand was difficult. we packed that joint up like my car after a facs meeting. and it wasnt even publicized. shoo. anyway. the show was pretty good. there were about 36 acts. joe and joe rocked it and so did mr. o-neil. they were the all stars of the night. so props to them. hopefully the "next" one will be better and less of a talent show.. after that.. i ended up packing my car.. as usual. who were the passengers?: kristina zach steve ray rayray and danny. rina told us to head up to her place after the show.. but we made a stop at the tendollar residence but that actually ended up being a chillspot for a while. sorry i lied again. it really just became another of the usual massage orgies. haha. at about seven we went to rinas after dropping off zach and steve and we jammed. who was there?: brian zernan dennis chrisb alex dana and of course rina. they all jammed for us. i tried helping out z hitting that note for "the elvi song." its a great song. they played their greatest hits by stryder & ataris & some welcome to the jungle and many many more! it was fun. after that.. dennis started playin some chasing i5.. rina hit the drums.. and me and zern just did the rocked out version of continuum and remix. after that.. rina taught me how to play the drums.. damn my lack of coordination and for some odd reason im left handed when it comes to drums. oh well. around 10 o clock we had to stop with the jammin. so we all decided to go out to eat. so it was me dana ray rayray and kristina now to go off wherever to go. well i had to take dana home for a hot minute so she could pick up her stuff cuz she was sleeping over at my house.. went to the bank for some dough.. got a call from rina to tell us our destination.. stopped by my aunties to see my mom for a hot minute.. back to my place so dana could call from here to for the coverup call.. got a call from michele and told her my plans and invited her.. stopped by mi's so she could follow me to the destination point.. and finally to village inn across from pembroke. we got there at about 1120. man. when i parked there was this popo starin at us from the inside (i guess b/c it was late) and when we got in.. the popo was joined by other popos and they were sitting in the table next to us. we felt bad cuz rina and them were all waiting for like thirty minutes. its ok. they ordered anyway. it was a fun dinner. i got to hear all the porn talk from brian and chris. that was a bucket load of laughs i tell ya. we left at about 1230a b/c yeah-- it was 1230a. we still felt like chillin so some of us decided to come back to my house for whatever. mi took dana in her car to get to my house and i took krisina home. what did we do at my house? watch some movies b/c thats all you can do at my house. so we watched training day and thirteen ghosts. after thirteen ghosts ended.. so did the night. rina&zern ray and rayray left at about 330a and yeah.. dana spent the night.

WHITEBOYS! haha. that was too cute. well we left and took s.ind to get to copymax on vabeach bvld. ..... ..yeah. MOVING ON! (i am going to kill kristina! why did you have to wave?!? jp) thank the lord i sped through those yellow lights and switched lanes like mad. but MOVING ON!! hah. we got to copymax and freakin ray and kristina keep doggin me and making me paranoid about the ... yeah. anyway. had fun with the paper cutter.. too much fun. i think copymax is officially sick of us. i rock because i make the kick ass spirals better than ray's thick ass spirals. mine rock. the posters rock. thanks to rondell from callahan a4 class of '02. anyway. left that place at about 715 ish. it took us a freakin hour and a half to get that done?? jeez. we listened to the slow jams again in the car.. but we drove the speed limit this time. dropped off kristina and ray. got home. did some physics with alyssa.. well some of it. then after that she watched me forge a report card (not for myself.. for a friend in need). i think i should make a business. looks pretty authentic to the untrained eye. and thats it. that was my day. it was pretty fun.

111302 day five


today was a long day. went to school as usual. marc told me before first block started that vcu is coming at 815 so i decide to go with him. too bad when we're at the schola marc reads the pass again and the date on the pass is next wednesday. contemplated of skipping the rest of the block but decided because i knew we'd get caught. good thing that we came back because we got our senior newsletters came and listed which colleges are coming and when. so if we went we'd be busted. anyway. after third block me gaby and stevie d went over to gabys with our chickfila for a lunch break. went back to school feeling hella groggy from eating and me&steve went up to the facs officers meeting and gaby went to practice. after that. we all went to taco bell. all of us: me ray onetwo sheryl gil and eli. that was fun. well maybe it was for me.. but they all packed in the back. while i was there.. we did fortunes (the usual taco bell thing to do nowadays). got a call from gin. she was looking for onetwo so i told her that he was with us and she picked him up from there. so he left us. :( but thats ok. now at least we all could fit in the car. haha. joke lang onetwo. but anyway.. then i took gil home (i think he got me sick) then we all went to the saliba house to write. yay! i saw my ate maricris! too bad me and sheryl had writers block! poo. anyway. at least i added my two cents (no pun) into a lil song that ray is writing. watched dismissed (that ho) thank the lord he picked the one that looked like chloe from the girl from smallville. that guy was hey. and we watchd some fan thing about britney spears and became grossed out by the transvestites. ew. chills. ray taught me how to six-step. i feel cool. riight. anyway. chilled out for a bit and had alot of laughs. i was craving some brusters and eli needed to get home. so ray came along with us and we left kristina as our collatteral and we went to brusters.. got myself a pint of strawberry icecream.. went to get some gas. haha. ray couldnt open the gas tank (that was my fault too.. but that was just funny--righty tighty lefty loosey haha) and god bless him he paid. so from my 1/16th of a tank i am now im at half. well we stopped by rays for a quick second then dropped off eli and back to the salibas. when we got back we watched "a walk to remember" for that sexy.. but skinny.. shane west. i swear. we just kept joking the movie.. but we loved it anyway even if it was like the fifteenth time we all saw it. haha. it was funny. we were all silent when she sang only hope. haha. "baby, baby.. its ok.." "oh, baby.. dont be scared." all those "baby's" kinda killed it. it was cute the first time i saw it.. but i mean.. it just didnt fit him. after the movie.. it was almost 930 so we had to go. said peace to maricris sheryl and auntie and off we went. haha. me kristina and ray were like.. lets just listen to slow jams on the way home. so the whole time we listened to my "the boys" cd and drove all slow (less than 15 mph on pleasant valley on the way to kristinas and less than 40 mph to rays on lynnhaven). that was fun. man. i got home at like 10oclock. i mean.. what kinna taking thirty minutes to drop off two people and get home?? so it was a fun day.

later in the day...

today was well spent. afterschool i stayed after for the facs open mic prelude. after that: dana wanted to go to the mall later but she had to get home first. so then i took dana home for a quick bit then went to the devil:starbucks (bless it) with ray zach & steve. goo law. them be some funny boys. michele called me up and i told her to meet us at *$ so we could go to the mall after. had fun chillins in *$. how is it steve? hair.. thin out.. bare.. then PHWHOOSH! haha. i told ray to do the mr daydream act to michele. that was too.. (looks up in a daydream..) haha. anyway. left *$ to pick up dana to go to the mall. michele followed me to her casa and she said that alex couldnt come b/c he had homework. so i told her.. well.. we're going to go to his house to kidnap bandit. so we went to his house. knocked on the door.. alex answered and we started calling for bandit. alex was all confused. that was too funny. so we kidnapped alex instead so he could come to the mall with us. so in one car you had mi alex ray and steve. in my car we had dana and zach. so off to the mall we went. on the way.. we flicked off the other car just for the hell of it. then dana said she was going to moon them. she was joking but i told her to do it. so she did. that was hilarious. so we got to the mall.. and we checked out every y chromosome there. omg. there were so many "hey guys" at the mall today. seriously. me dana and mi are going to come back every tuesday to the mall from now on.. watch us. we left the guys go bboy in aladdins castle so me mi and dana decided to venture around the mall. met alot of really nice guys. met one of micheles friends mike who worked at the watch shop next to the gap and he gave me a scooby doo pin. man. we macked hard. tee hee. we were just playing. we played a mean joke on alex: we got flyers from these guys so we pretended that dana got a guys number but really it was mine. that was mean. sorry alex. we love you.

hey dana: "hey. i think you like my friend." just kidding.

anyway. so we went around and took more pictures of us just being dumbasses in the mall. took the guys into victorias secret. then we went upstairs b/c we were hungry. me and dana did handstands in the elevator. well.. dana did. i couldnt do it b/c my shirt kept flying above my head. so then we decided to take a "bathroom" break but ended up going to the pretzel place b/c i was craving a parmesean pretzel at pretzels plus. man. the guy working there was "oh-my-lord hey". he was sexy. like wow. so then we kinda fidgeted around with what i wanted to get and i told him i wanted a parmesean pretzel. he was fun to play with. we started joking around about having a camara behind him and what hed do if there was no camara.. "theres a camara?" haha. so i asked if i could have his beanie and so forth. he was fun. and we just kept playing around. tee hee! omg he was hey. so then he gives it to me and im like "and how much would that be?" and hes like.. "well ill give it to you for a dollar since you made my day." so i was like 'hail yeah.. you made my day too!' well to myself. and he was so nice. *sigh* anyway. so then we went to dQ and visited travis and he hooked it up with the icecream and strawberry shakes. bless his heart. thats why i love that boy. haha. joke lang. so we went back to aladdins castle and low and behold.. theyre went back bboying. haha. so me and michele and dana played another trick on the boys and we stole their jackets and phones and whatnot. hehe we're so bad! anyway. then we had to take everyone home. so i took dana alex and ray.. and mi took steve and zach. well actually ray had to go to mads practice so i dropped him off at school. then i went to mi's meet up and go to the library. so we chilled at mi's for a bit then we went to the library. i saw sze fong there. haha. that sounds funny. i saw sze. anyway. me and mi were so ghetto. we made copies of this one newspaper and i couldnt get it right b/c the pages were so big. so we ended up taping our copes together. afterward mi treated me to chick-fil-a where we talked for like almost 2 hours? i n v her. she has such the perfect boyfriend. aw. go nate&mi. yeah. thats about it. wow. quite the day.

earlier today...


well. mr san fran made my night lastnight. can you see the big cheesy smile on my face through your screen?? well if you cant then you suck. but yeah. that made my night. well heres the story. i was about to go to bed when i decided to text my sat score to mr san fran man b/c he wished me good luck when i told him i was taking it. so i send and the next second the phone rings. so im like. wow. thats pretty darn fast. so we talk for a bit--updating each other about what has been going on. hes taking this academic break (he deserves it) and got a job subbing at the balboa hs (as seen on tfc with the united playaz) and coaches the volleyball team there. so hes doing well. i told him about our cd and he wants one and that ive been been filipino'd out with my chacha world tour 2002 with the trip back to the homeland in june.. the fanhs LA trip in july.. naffaa sanjose/franciscoin august.. running facs into my slavedom.. expos.. performances.. recordings.. rehearsals.. man. anyway.. getting on a tangent.. well we talk for a bit and hes being so cute and he tells me that hes going to send me a picture of his niece (b/c i wanna see what she looks like) since he claims that shes so damn cute and that i think shes so adorable just by the sound of her voice. but anyway. yeah. we talk for like 15 minutes then we kinda broke it off because verizon sucks when you want to talk from coast to coast during stormy weather. wished me good night and that just made me get giddy. anyway. after that i grabbed my notebook b/c i just had this rush of inspiration to write. took me five minutes to write.. ill post it up later.. cuz its in the car and its raining. and i just wrote. after that. i couldnt sleep cuz i got this song in my head.. like the beat of it.. and the music.. but there were no words. so there i was lying in my bed humming words to the music so i could remember it. so i put words in just to put it in so i could just come back to it later. in my head i had justin timberlake singin it. maybe its because i heard the song on the radio. but anyway. so his voice was in my head singin the song. so the song is from a guys perspective i guess. it was a really pretty song. hopefully i can find it on my keyboard and start writing. so that was my night lastnight. i went to sleep at about 3 because my song was just on heavy rotation in my mind and i couldnt sleep.

and i know what youre probably thinking.. and no. i dont have a thing for mr san fran man. im not obessed bla bla bla. more like just infatuated with the idea of who he is (the embodiment of so many good qualities i look for in a guy) and just ecstatic of how he just plays with me. i mean. there not alot of guys out there that have his drive (and his looks are just plus points). so yeah. i regail with the idea. but hes just my pal i like to kick it with.


day four:

tell me why i woke up this morning and i had a dark handprint on my arm!! eek!

this morning i woke up at like 7 o clock after i told mike that id meet him in the commons at 7. so i get dressed and hauled ass to school. i actually ran a red light. purposely. it like.. turned red ahead of me.. then i just floored it. i know. bad thing to do. thank the lord that none of the cars started to go. but yeah. i would have been madd late cuz that light takes three minutes to do a rotation. anyway. yeah. i was pretty dead during school. i was dozing. but surprisingly enough it went by very quick. failed my calc test but regailed because mrs harrison bumped my 77.34 to a C on my report card. bless her heart. so that made my day pretty damn good. at least i dont have a D on my report card. that would have sucked ass. and not just any ass. some big juicy ass. and not the good kinda juicy like mario lopez juicy. but more like.. drew carey juicy. got home. checked my email. checked out the pic mr san fran man sent me of his niece (who by the way is so effing adorable). and typing up this blog. ill post up my piece later. imma do it for open mic. just because i think people can relate to it.

well . didnt get to watch 8 mile today. probably watch it tomorrow. had a fun meeting at starbucks which got moved to rinas house because she was going vertigo or something. it was funny. we were making fun of alot of things. noticed that we are in desparate need of rerecording for the facs cd and that we need to set some deadlines. so far 65 people signed up. and those are only people that were at expo. thats minus salem heads minus the rest of va beach minus the dc folks minus the rest of the east coast minus every connection that uncle fred cordova has and minus every network we built and friends on the west coast. *phew* that was one long breath. it seems alot later than it really is right now. iono. maybe because its a sunday and we dont have school tomorrow or the fact that i didnt go anywhere tonite. which is a weird commodity in my life. anyway.

im in a need of a deep joints/thought/etc

i am in love with my alumni

day two

::: posted by charlene at 1:25:00 PM

 
111002 lastnight went to pick up dana cook to go to walmart and watch the ever-so-entertaining ron&rina aka soul lyric and marco mercado open up for yellow rage. my favorite poem was by C@-Z:

you
are a food lover.
i
am your lover.
this is the first time i ever thought of having a threesome.
why dont you cook for me

that was just plain great. anyhooters. saw my ever-so-wonderful alumni once again: kim r laurie g jojo joel rodi brian zernan mark louie meldel lizdel ron gin melben and of course ron&rina and marco. became a "semi-klepto" (but really i just forgot i was wearing them) and ended up taking rodi's hat and joels beanie. whoopsiedaisies. oh well. ill give it back to them later. anyway. after the shindigs at odu: too k dana ray and rayray to alex sibal's bday shindig at his casa. chilled with melben and watched the boys bbattle til the cops showed up. wasnt really a big deal until yeah.. its not my place to blow up someones spot. i see both views. i mean. he shouldnt have got that attitude but the cop didnt have to be a fuckin ass. the other cop was cool though. and the ass cop didnt have to be suck a effing fucker to "diesel". i mean. cmon. you dont talk to someone like that. fucker. anyway. had a mini deep joint with eli. wished alex a happy bday. took some pics. helped him clean up. it was all good. some of us decided to come back to my casa and just chill for a tidbit. so i had zach steve and eli come ride with me home. then i was later joined by ray rayray and brian. they all pretty much just wrestled around and me and ray and brian sang a tidbit. rayray and brian are pretty fun dudes. mike and alyssa stopped by for a bit. that was pretty much the night. then i took home steve and zach and eli. the rest of the night? not much really. watched tv. fell asleep to the couch watching a movie. and when i woke up it was like 3 in the morning and the movie channel i was watching turned into a porn channel. turned off the tv b/c i was too damn tired and its not fun watching a porn movie without someone there to joke around with. i mean. them porn stars are some funny damn people. so i went up and slept.

as for today.. well its only 123p. i have a meeting in thirty minutes and i have just been informed that the bunch is gonna watch 8 mile tonite. those are the plans. peace out.
