What a splendid day! :)
This morning, I was able to revive an eighth grade project. With that, I got carried away and decided to put a new blog. Of course, this will still be my personal and primary blog. See, I like to post enries online but fear that friends will find them. LOL! Weird? Oh well.
Today, of course, was basketball Saturday. Precise Gang won! :) My brother's teams won, too (he plays for two teams). We went to the mall after the game, so I can try on sunglasses that I intend to buy online. I love online shopping!
We also stopped by GNC to check out meal replacement shake powder available. Aaah, health products are so expensive! I decided to go with an affordable one to try out first, and added a mini blender bottle too! I like accessories for added motivation, hehe. This replacement shake is basically for workdays that are so busy I forget to take breaks and lunch. Hopefully, it'll help with my metabolism as well... which will then lead to all the other cool healthy stuff. ;p Mike said that next to cutting up fresh fruits and veges, this might be the next best choice for me (mainly because it's not quite harmful). Like I said, I enjoy online shopping! So.... I ordered my shake and bottle online! My order should arrive in 6-10 business days. Can't wait. :)
Oh! Papa John's has a totally cool deal I learned of today. Any large pizzas for $10, including their specialty pizzas. Mm... got three for the family, all of which were delicious! Success!

Zumba and verdicts.
I've been wanting to try Zumba for a while now, but never took the time to do so. Well, I finally quit putting it off, and went to my first Zumba class! :) It was so much fun... dancing a full hour and all. I have to admit that it sort of kicked my butt because my legs were burning afterwards! Whew! But I would do it all over again. Yup! I'm already planning my next attendance. Haha.
Ok, enough about my yesterday. Today was such a big day! First was the Johannes Mehserly verdict in connection to the New Year's Day 2009 killing of Oscar Grant. The jury found him guilty of only involuntary manslaughter. There's a huge outcry in the Oakland, and I'm so glad I'm a good forty minutes away from that place. I can only imagine the mess that's about to come. =( Then of course, the much awaited verdict of LeBron James as to what jersey he will be wearing this fall. His final decision? Miami Heat. Wow! That decision alone eliminates him from the pedestal that the likes of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are on -- the men who stayed loyal and carried their teams to championships, regardless of the situation.

5th of July
If there's one thing I appreciate about my job, it's the fact that I get every Federal holiday off... PAID! :) My weekend was quite chill, but still enjoyable. It consisted of a small family "kids-only" barbecue & kick-it at Ben's (the bf's brother) on Saturday, followed by a Rugrats marathon at my house the following day. We ended up chillin' at home all afternoon to the point that we got too lazy to drive down to the Marina for some fireworks. Oh well -- heheh.
So we found out that we are very much disliked by friends. The basis? "Flaking out" on the Las Vegas trip. I understand what they're feeling, but it wasn't like we decided to just not go. We had to not go. See, Mike already canceled about three weeks in advance because he had a speeding ticket to pay for in Santa Clarita (LA area) that week, but I was still going despite having to report to work Friday morning. Then, a week before his court date, we found out that the registered owner (or insured) had to also appear in court. That's when I had to cancel. "/ I understood the consequences of the situation, but I had no choice. Well, I still had the rest of that week off since I've already requested it for Las Vegas, and we didn't want to waste it! Since my brother and his family were already in LA, we decied we would just meet up with them. Because our plane tickets to LV were nonrefundable, it only made sense to use it elsewhere. Monday evening, Mike and I flew to Orange County, and were picked up by my brother. I tweeted about it since it was nothing to hide, and knew all along that it might have been taken the wrong way. It did. Hah. What we didn't see coming though was how much friends would not understand the situation. Anaheim is a short drive to LA, which is where we needed to be. Had we gone to LV, itinerary would have been LV Wednesday night, LA Thursday morning, home that friday-- our friends were in LV Wed-Sat. Needless to say, it all turned out to be a mess. At least I got the best out of my vacay days. Mike is quite livid with this nonsense.
I did however got away with just working from home on Friday since my manager had an emergency Thursday. E-mailing three reports from a network away from work is quite a task! Hah.
Ohhh but the best part of that crazy week though?! World of Color live! Enough said.

101.
Exhausted.
I am so tired of "trial and error" on repeat. For once in a very long time, I wish something would go my way. It feels like I'm running in place with the finish line unimaginable. Helpless. Useless.
Please don't mistake it with unhappiness though. I'm actually in a state of happiness despite all hardships. I mean I'm employed, healthy (well, y'know), loved - life is still good. Not to mention, I only paid $164 for eye exam, contact lens fitting, digital retinal imaging, and one year supply of contacts! Hooray for independence & self-paid insurance. Although, it takes a BUNCH out of my cash flow. ;)
sorry for the lack of update. -__-
