34 Days 'til Christmas!

Highlights time!


October 30-31, 2009
Die Nasty Halloween Party :) I was part of the decoration committee, hahaha! Really though, that party was a success. Great outcome of 100+ guests with amazing costumes, DJ's playlist was great, and the house did not fall apart. I was straight up Minnie Mouse, not a knock-off from your typical Halloween stores. LOL, I love Disney.

Mike and I celebrated our third year anniversary. We both had work and school, so we had brunch at Max's and went about our days. It was simple but fun.

November 7-9, 2009
San Diego road trip! :) Mike and I visited Brandon and his girlfiend. On our first night, we celebrated their friend's birthday at a local bar followed by the karaoke bar. So much fun, but I was pooped pretty early. The following day, they took us to Julian for some apple pies. DELICIOUS! Mm. We had crabs for dinner, and I called it a night. I was sick! :( That Monday, Mike and I roamed the area while our hosts were at school and work. We went to Coronado and La Jolla. Cheers to feeling better, and to a great (but expensive) Japanese dinner.

November 10-13, 2009 
DISNEYLAND! :) All day every single day. Hahah! We checked in at our hotel early because they already had our room ready. Yay Paradise Pier! The view was great. We're gonna work our way up, haha. It was amazing. We were chosen to dance with Mickey and Minnie on Main St. to celebrate love. We also watched all the shows and parades, and rode all the rides we wanted to go on - some more than once. One night of that week when Disneyland closed early, Mike and I went to a ramen house in Fountain Valley. It was so good! It was Mike's first time at a ramen house, so he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Mhmm.

Check out day, wahh! Before we left though, we got our annual passports and my Dole whip float one last time. YUM! We also did last minute shopping in Downtown Disney. Then, we stopped by Hollywood for their cheap souvenirs (lol) and CB&TL. Finally, we were homeward bound. Lucky for us, we made it home in time with about half hour to spare for the Pacquiao-Cotto fight. Outstanding performance by Manny, and definitely a great fight.

Samantha Gabrielle's baptismal! I'm officially a ninang, again! It was so much fun. I love that girl! Aahh!

A week later... reality had already gotten me tired. Time for another vacation!

I love you anyway.

I always tell myself to never again give him more credit than he deserves, but I can't help it. I like to put him in the best light possible to whoever. He and I are different in that sense - he likes to take most if not all the glory when possible, but I feel ashamed taking something that isn't mine. He thinks it's okay, but that really isn't always the case. Really, you changed your tire that quick by yourself though? F'real, you're shopping for presents? I'M THE LEO. Isn't that supposed to be my characteristic? This is why I don't buy into all that horoscope stuff, even if they are freakishly coincidental sometimes.

I love you, anyway.

Autumn is beautiful

It's probably no secret that autumn or fall is my favorite season of the year. The air is cooler, beautiful colors and arrays of foliage, football season, and the best holidays are in line. In a few weeks, it will be Halloween, followed by Thanksgiving, then Christmas, and finally the new year. It makes it that much sweeter too because my and Mike's anniversary is in November. The only complain I have though is that October through December is the most expensive quarter of the year. January-March comes in second; great, huh? Haha.

On Friday night, a group of friends and I went to the Dixon Corn Maze, the largest one in the world at 43 acres. Wowserz, eh? It was a fun  two-hour adventure, and I must admit that getting split up in half by twists and turns and finding one another was truly one of the best moments and feelings ever. I think the fact that we put ourselves under a time limit made the maze that much funner. Along the way, we found ourselves in the crop circle with two lost girls, one of whom I recognized from work! LOL. That was just nuts. So why were under a time limit? Because we had to drive from Dixon to Davis (which really wasn't that long of a drive) to make a 10:40pm showing of Paranormal Activity. In all honesty, I'm not one who gets scared of scary movies, but this one totally freaked me out. Unlike a number of my friends who found the movie a waste of time and not scary at all, I was spoooked. -__-* I didn't even want to go inside the house when I got home around 2am, so I called my dad to open the door for me. Hahah! :P I swear... something about past experiences was triggered by this movie. Yeaaaaah. I think I'm getting over it now though, and that's a GREAT thing!

P.S. I love breakfast, lol.

Parachute me.

My workplace is falling apart, and it's kinda funny. Of course there's the structure of management and employees, which I've talked about many times before. This time, however, was a different type of falling apart though symbolic. Upon returning to the workplace from doing on-sites, I found the kitchen flooded with stinky and stained water. What happened? I'm not really sure except for hot water temperature causing a pipe to burst. Any takers on that one? That's where the symbolic part comes in, but that's just me speculating. Hah. Anyway, the part of the ceiling that fell was coincidentally the part right above our surveillance videos. Mhmm.. hahah. I'm sure that's all fixed by now though, but it was fun while it lasted. :)

Also today, Mike and I went out to look for our Halloween costumes. We couldn't find what we were looking for, so we decided to go with Plan B -- we are making his costume from gathered materials, which shouldn't be hard. As for me, I ordered mine online. We're excited for this one. LOL. Mickey and Minnie! While online, I bought tees and a video camera. I'm excited to receive them already. Aahh! So much packages to wait for.

With that said, I need to not spend any more money than I already have. *sigh...* Can't it be November already?

And the countdown begins!

Actually, I've been counting down on my phone since the last week of August when I first booked this, but it is now completely official. The entirety of the vacation package has been paid, which means they'll be sending it our way soon. Yay! This is for my and Mike's anniversary next month. I'll reveal it when I receive the things. Anyway, it was either a cruise to Mexico or this one, but decided to go with latter. There were just too many things going on with Mexico in the past few months before our final decision plus I found this great deal before it was fully booked. YEA! I'm soooo juiced, aaahh! :D Hahah.

Bleh. My dunzo manager better NOT ruin this because I turned in my request two months ago, and was told it would not be a problem. Oook! :)

Hm, I wanted to buy some stuff online, but stopped myself. =) Kudos for me. More than that, I don't really know why I'm still up. I think it's the fear of having the same "nightmare" I had last night. *sigh...* I wish I could be more productive than I've been lately, but I give myself too much excuses not to be. I'm lame sometimes, and I hate it! It's almost just like how I hate another B2K Chargers basketball season of early playoffs elimination and no championship. Another next time...
