it's now september. i decided i'm not going to bother with keeping up with design changes so i picked something simple and neutral for the time being.
well, august was fun. my party bus in particular was crazy fun. some of my elementary school friends were able to come and that made it so much better. but there was about a week and a half of craziness for me so i'll start there...
it started with amirah having a dream [while on drugs] with me, her, lily and janeen hanging out at disneyland. so she wanted to hang out and catch up. we decided on dinner at BJ's and made it a mini-reunion of st. anthony ppl of whoever could come. kelly came and richard and jessica joined us for dinner too. right as we finished eating, regina came and after we ordered dessert, ronald, ritchie and rafael showed up. steven said he was off work and was able to hang but since there was no more room in our booth at the restaurant, we decided to move the party to ronald's house.
after me, lily and rafael got there [a little later since lily had to pack and we stopped to buy red cups], steven, grace and jose were there. then erik showed up after awhile. we had about 14 people at this last minute get together. we took a group picture [which jessica still hasn't uploaded] and decided since lily was leaving to new york the next saturday, we should have a proper reunion/good bye party for lily.
the following monday, i got my first tattoo. lily and amirah came with me to ronald's house. my mom came too! haha she wanted to watch. ronald was nervous but he said he got over it. i'm itching to get my next one but i have to make sure the design is perfect first. i have to find someone who's good at photoshop or something.
then on wednesday we had the class of '03 reunion. i can't remember how many people showed up to this one, but we even had some of the younger kids show up. me and lily played our first game of beer pong! but neither of us drank though xD jose drank for me and richard and steven drank for lily. i think she was cheating by having two people drink for her even though steven wasn't playing. we lost but that's only because stupid jose knocked over two of our cups. i also brought the potluck tape and we played that in the background. that was funny to watch.
me, lily, kelly and amirah were among the last girls and we didn't leave until close to 5am! i didn't want to go home, haha. i was having so much fun even though i was tired. this might sound weird and maybe a bit kiddish, but i that was what i always imagined a house party to be. a bunch of old friends, a ton of people doing different things in different rooms and there was always some conversation you could jump in to.
then on saturday was my party bus. people kept dropping last minute and some people i couldn't even get in contact with as i was trying to make sure everyone was there. but as soon as i found out ronald was able to go, i honestly didn't care about the last minute drop-outs. i was just happy some of my elementary school friends were able to come. and i had fun.
i danced. boy, did i dance. i was the only one dancing! i was a freaking dancing fool. and for some reason, i didn't care. last year i wanted to dance, but something was kind of holding me back. maybe just nervousness or shyness or something. but this year? psh. after some point, i hardly sat.
after the bus pretty much everyone went home. so i went to ronald's house with amirah and we chilled there for a little bit. george and regina came by. then after steven came, we went to his little sister's birthday party out in bellflower. we stayed there until about 2.
i finally went home and i was exhausted! what sucked was that i was leaving to las vegas in about 5 hours and i hadn't packed a single thing. all i wanted to do was sleep but i knew i wouldn't have enough time to pack after i woke up. i tried very hard to stay awake and get at least some things sorted together. i don't think that worked. i did some fast packing in the morning.
vegas was alright. it was work and it was hot. and the worst part is, my birthday kind of sucked. birthdays are kind of a big deal to me, especially mine. not because i want a ton of attention, i just think...i don't know. birthdays are special and it's the one day you get to be a little selfish. i guess it was just bad because i was around a ton of people and no one knew it was my birthday. i wanted to wear a pin or badge that said, "it's my birthday!" [and now that i think about it, i should've brought one that i got from disneyland]. dinner was better since we had a girls night out at one of my favorite restaurants. i got a couple gifts which i loved. they were little things like lip balm and small things of lotion, but i didn't care. i just liked unwrapping something.
after dinner we went to ghostbar, a bar in the palms hotel. apparently it was for my birthday but that wasn't really made aware to me. it didn't help when no one else knew either. i thought it was just a big party for all the japan office people and our clients. and it was. i think my birthday was used as a half excuse. at least to those that would care. and i had no fun. it was nice looking out over the balcony and seeing the city at night all lit up. i loved that. i wish i could've stayed out there the whole night. i don't know why, but i just wasn't feeling it. i knew about every 4 songs the dj played and even then, he would cut the song about halfway through and mix in the next one...which i think is annoying. everyone else was having a great time. maybe it was because i didn't have any friends there or what. but i didn't want to be there. i wanted to dance, but i couldn't. people literally pulled me from the sofa into the group to get me to dance but that just made me annoyed and i sat back down. i felt like i was in early highschool again. towards the end i just sat there and played with my mom's phone until we left.
yeah...not so fun. but enough of that.
this is a long enough entry so i'll stop here with that update and i'll write more another day. bye! =]
