120602 i am so effing tired today. began the day as usual by waking up late.. one of the first symptoms of senioritis.. anyway. did the school thing. man. no harrison today. yes! calc was actually more fun than usual. i mean.. not the work.. but the fact that we werent being breathed down our backs by harrison was a blessing. instead we had the o so great mr pate. man....

i remember last year during callahans class.. mr pate was subbing.. and he fell asleep. so i go down to yearbook since all my work was done (a worksheet) like an hour before school ended.. afterschool that day i was talking to some people that were in my class and everyone said that the whole class just left a lil bit after i did when he fell asleep. only two people stayed behind because they felt bad for the guy. the two said that he woke up 5 minutes before the bell rang and just woke up asking.. 'where is everyone?' man.. that was hilarious. the funny part was that: you know how when you have a sub the sub is supposed to write a letter to the teacher saying things about the class? well mr pate wrote down that we were "a great class and no disturbances." the only reason why she knew that we all left was because another teacher in that hallway heard everyone leave and told callahan. no one got punished.. she actually laughed and just said not to do it again.

actually.. i got kinda mad today during sociology because man.. but i wont say why because the prosecution attorneys are reading this and are like.. soO thats whats going on in the defense. damn prosecution and their inconsistency. anyway. oh. senior superlatives came out today.. man. i didnt get one. poo. congrats to alyssa for being most uniQue and mike and angeline for most school spirited and to phylicia for most inspiring and to everyone else who got a superlative. alot of them were givens. you knew whod get what. i wanted one! i want to be special too damnit. anyway.. during early release.. me and some of the senior bunch and plus: alyssa angeline marc andrew mike danamama chawgee janelle and gaby decided to go rollerskating because we knew that no one would be at a skating rink at noon. well we were right. no one was there. not even the employees: it opens at seven. so we just ate lunch at mcdonalds. that was fun. many memories. anyway. went home after that and called up michele. after that went back to school to pick up whomever: kristina ray steven juanito eli dana and chris: we cancelled plans to watch the ring again. i mean. that would have been the third. anyway. so we just started going places. got kinda mad that no one knew where we were going so i just started dropping off people at random until we had a plan. so sorry.. but i mean.. no one knew what they wanted to do so i just dropped off anyone who wasnt sure. no offense. anyway. while on the way making our drop offs we see brian tajo and jeremy paule on the road and we race.. i guess. iono who won or lost.. i mean. i had eight people in my lil camry and he had two..

heres a convo with brian tajo like five minutes ago:

MackN IC0N: where did u go
MackN IC0N: after you beat jeremy
two cense: kristinas
two cense: most of the day was spent with kristina
two cense: wait.. i beat jeremy??
MackN IC0N: i dunno i guess
two cense: haha

so we dropped off ray and eli. chilled out for a bit with whoever was left. i love someones mom. then we went to pick up berto to drop them off at eugenes to bboy. so we dropped everyone off and we chilled out at danas then migrated to kristinas to finish off TRL. man i havent really watched that show since i was 13. anyway. karen jason and sable came by too and chillaxed too. much later on.. me dana and juanito went to walmart to do some grocery shopping for kris. borrowed money from brian a but ended up not needing it and just gave it back.. then we stopped by eugenes to pick up the boys. then we had a manhunt for alex who was on his way to danas. picked his ass up and then we all went back to kristinas where we spent most of the night. later on.. berto came over too and so did justin. the guys started with the bboy lessons with me and dana. i wasnt really in the mood but i played along for the most part. i was effing tired 'yall. anyway. yeah. took home juanito and then dana. later on.. comforted karen because yeah. well all i can say is that she "did a bang up job." her car is a beast man. about 10 ish i had to peace out so we did our peace and peaced out and i took home ray and chris. that was the night. im tired. i have sats tomorrow. sats on sat right jason? wish me luck.

well no snow today.. just rain.

man. i got to bed early lastnight at like 1130 as opposed to my usual 2am and tell me why i wake up at freakin 715a!! and the only reason why i woke up was because my mom wakes me up by asking if i have school.. cuz i mean.. i didnt get up.. and im like ... wha..? oh shit! so i get up and my moms like.. get the phone. and im like what? so she goes.. rays on the phone. and im sitting there going.. why? so i pick up the phone and he asks me if i could pick him up b/c charlene and mary took off before he got down. so im like.. alright.. all in my morning voice. so i get ready for school and on my way to pick up ray (i took belspring instead of roundhill) i see a guy who i thought was stevie d just judging by his posture and how he walked.. so i stop for a sec and look back after i pass him but i couldnt see who it was because he was wearing this big hoodie and an umbrella and i couldnt see through the rain. so i was like.. man imma be really late if i go.. and i didnt want to take the chance and i thought.. it cant be steve b/c its 730 right now.. and hes probably at school. that and i saw some other kid walking to his busstop. so i was like.. eff it. im probably wrong.. so i pick up ray and we get into the school at like 745 ish. later i found out that it was stevie d. i felt bad..

during early release me and the g went to walmart to get some pictures printed for facs. after that.. got the usual big n tastys then came back to school at 130 b/c she had an appointment with mr harrison. me on the other hand.. i had nothing to do for thirty minutes.. so i went upstairs just wandering around and spotted the o walkin and i was like.. dude. im bored. so we walk around and just start joking everything. then he takes me to the i think a journalism room. he was like.. i need you to go in here. so we went in.. man. it was like an alternate universe. i felt so out of place.. obs just kept on joking me and was like.. yeah.. you better walk out of this room with your hood on and incognito. hes a dork. anyway. we talked about facs and i helped this dude out with his hw. he was like.. is anyone good in math?? and everyone was like.. no. then he asked me and i was like.. well not really (damn calculus) but i asked what was his work.. and hes like geometry. man. i was just like.. is that it???? well i didnt say that but you get the idea. from ap calc to geometry. man. that felt good. it regained my confidence in math. anyway. after that.. two oclock came around so me and o went downstairs to the schola to set up for the meeting. it was a good meeting. we did the secret santa ordeal. man. that was hectic. i almost lost my composure b/c i was getting so annoyed with people coming back to me with their damn post its.. i mean cmon people. i dont care who you get. its secret santa. its not like its hard to shop for them.. what they want is on the damn post it! anyway. that was just me venting. after that.. i took home tristan for the first time in a long time and then me ray kristina juanito dana and steve went to alex's.. not to bboy but to fix alex's bboyin floor. we taped it up. i mean. its dangerous! so we leave and i take dana home then we just go back to kristinas to chill out and help her cook. after a while.. we all went back to walmart to do some grocery shopping and to develop more facs film. i met this dude named justin that came with us to walmart with kristina. hes a cool dude. after that.. we went to starbucks because steve was craving.. then justin had to depart to practice and i dropped off steve and juanito. after that we ventured back to kristinas to roll some lumpia. man. >> thats so stereotypical. anyway. before that we just started playing with trina because shes so damn adorable. she farted on me. haha. damn vibrations! anyway. i like playing "the monster game." anyhooters.. then we started rollin the lumpia. man. mine sucked. everyone will know which were the ones i rolled damnit. i only did three good ones. and that was in the end after i gave up from the first ones i made. im an effing great cutter though. anyway. after that.. we started cooking shrimp. ray made some rice for us. i was cooking the shrimp.. well for the first part.. then kris took over. while waiting for the rice we ate halo halo ice cream. mm hmm. still waiting for the rice.. we watched ferris buellers day off. great film. save ferris. bueller is a genius. anyway. after that.. the rice was done and we ate the shrimp and rice.. which we covered in butter. mm hmm. just the way i like it.. i actually hadnt had my rice like that in a long while.. but it was nice getting reaQuainted. anyway. after that.. we started watching go. good druggie movie. too bad it was all edited. so most of it didnt make sense. after ronna's part of the movie.. i realized that it was almost 10 so i said to kris my peace out and thanked her for the great afternoon and then i took ray home.

"so youre single? so are we. we seem to have something in common here." that was funny. so then gaby sends him my e journal url and he checks it out. his response? a happy face and a "shes pretty hot." i was sitting there like double you tea eff?!? hahahaha. that was hilarious. i was just like nOOo! he looked at my import model pic. man. too bad i dont look like that everyday. man. i look like cherry mae embers in that pic! by the way.. thats my lil popcorn name given to me by ray (sario creek). anyway. too bad i was rejected when she offered my sn. he was like.. no thats ok. im not really looking for anyone. or something like that. but thats ok. it was all in fun and games. well after that.. i left gabys and came home. that was my day. pretty alright if you ask me.

anyway. what did i to doday? well i dropped off ray rayray and randy off in the "wee hours" of the morning. then i picked them back up at like noonish to go to a meeting at the pcc. man.. i slept all freakin day. thats what going to sleep at six-ish am does to you. i woke up at like eight.. looked at the time and was like oh hail no. so i went back to sleep. then i woke up at ten then i was like.. thats a little bit better.. i had more energy so i went downstairs.. where i eventually fell asleep. woke up at like 1220 and was like damn! imma miss my meeting! so i took a shower and got dressed cuz i felt all sweaty (damn numerous blankets) and then went to ray's to pick up the trio. that was the first time i ever walked up to his door. i was weird.. usually i just honk the horn.. which i did but then i got impatient.. or i get someone to go up there for me cuz im lazy. anyway. picked them up because edwina calls me lastnight reminding me that theres a meeting saturday at noon at the pcc for a dialogue among the generations. so we got there at 1 and it didnt start yet (it began at 12 but the program didnt really start until 1) so all was well.. too bad i was all kinda maybe sorta prepared (ok.. maybe just expecting) to get up and talk about our organizations and goals and whatnot for facs and faia and we didnt even get to talk! boo. i mean moo. haha. anyway. while there i saw many of my favorite alumni: alex cena :: melissa delima :: elizabeth delima :: louie sawi :: zernan garcia :: rina parilla :: diana fernandez. yes i said diana fernandez. i was like HEY! its diana! anyways.. talked to them all for a bit afterwards and then no one knew what they were doing.. rina and diana were going to go to the mall.. i was pretty malled out at the moment.. no one knew what to do so i just went back and dropped off the trio. then i got home and was ready to clean.. but then my mom just had to tell me to fold the blankets from lastnight.. and i just saw those blankets and they just called to me.. charlene.. sleep.......... sleep. so. i did. damn. too bad when i woke up it was all dark.. then i was like "free holey shmasizzles! plans for bang-a-rang and the midnight society! for the saturday night scarefest!" so i started calling up people and was like so what are the plans?? i call up dana and zach and ray and finalize that we will all go to my house at seven to watch "the others" after i pick up alex from the mall. so i go over to rays and pick up the trio so im not alone on the way to the mall and sought out for alex. he was in the philippines (aladdins castle) also known as the bboy epicenter of lynnhaven mall. while there.. i see kristina julie and berto. kristina comes up to me and was like "hey.. have you seen the malpaya?" and i was like.. "jackie?" and kristina goes "no.. chris?" then she takes me to the circle (and im thinking.. oh. theres a guy that looks like chris malpaya here) and pointed out a guy. so im standing there staring at the guy because here i was thinking.. yeah.. he looks exactly like chris!! so then the guy turns and runs up to me and gives me a hug and im like..
