So yesterday was a great day...one of them saturdays that just live in u for a while. Where u just recall a lil snippet at any time of the day and smile at the simple recollection of it. So yea, I couldn't sleep Friday night...my sleep patterns are so jacked up now but yea...I went home Friday. Ran some errands like I usually do and came home in time to see the 3rd n 4th quarter with my daddy (I listened to the first half in my car). It was just one of them old time things we use to do...when my mom was around. My dad would be lounging in the living room watchin a game...my mom would be either on the loveseat watching with him (either knowing what is going on or not having a clue) or she'd be in the kitchen doing the dishes or cooking something. I'd be either in my room watching the game and doing something or in the kitchen baking asking random things of my mom. My bro of course would be in his room online and watching the game. Yea, that's the way the days use to be. I was in the kitchen last night doing my laundry, a task my mom use to do for me before she passed away. I did my laundry while I baked some cookies...tried something new with the cookies to make em a lil softer and sweeter but I think I made them too soft and too sweet. It's alright...i haven't heard anyone complain yet. LoL Anyways...I came back to UCLA w/my car yesterday morning. It's great having my car here...I guess I love my car cuz it's my hope to get away from people and things. I know that sounds bad but it's like I have the urge to just break free. But in a sense being let go reminds u what u have at home. So I'd always come home...where I belong. I went to see my mom first...with rose. It was funny but I couldn't really be all that "personal" cuz rose was there. Not saying that was bad, I guess I was glad that rose was there with me cuz having her there helped me hold back the tears. Mother's day sux when u don't have ur mother to celebrate with. All I can do now is just bring her flowers. If my mom was alive now and I gave her flowers for mother's day she'd be like, "why are u wasting money on flowers?" haha I love and miss her so much...I just don't know anymore. But yea...I did the community service thingy at PAWS LA. It was great! Wasn't as fun as when i did it with George cuz he made it interesting...lol. Random things go on when I have dinner with him...but yea anywaysRose wasn't feeling well, so drop offs were pretty funky with her ready to puke in my car or something. haha Poor thing threw up at the PAWS LA office. I carried all the deliveries in and it was hella heavy!!!!!! My arms were dead yesterday...but it was worth it. Seeing all those smiling faces, happy to see that I came with their stuff. I loved it! We were done by 5 and that wasn't so bad...then we came back here to chill for a while but I ended up eating dinner with George which was pretty fun, as usual...I ended up going with him to Getty. I drove though...he loved the hell out of my curious George doll. He kept playing with him in the car and then we ended up taking him into Getty. All the smiling faces from people laughing WITH US about George on George's back...haha if u don't get that, imagine this: A 24" Curious George doll in red overalls clinging to George's back and backpack looking like a lil kid with his daddy. It was funny when the security guard said no pets were allowed in the museum. Anyways...I may not be an avid art lover but I still love the arts. There's something about pieces of history that just make my mind go into overdrive. I always wonder how they can have such preciseness, details..it's just bewildering. If you think about things now, how we have so much technology and then think about how they didn't have this type of technology but yet were still capable of doing such extraordinary things. I just can't believe it! My eyes get so wide, it's like I'm engulfed in the work itself. After George did his lil analyzing of some manuscripts we went outside so I could take pix of the view. There's just something about architecture that gets to me. The beauty of someone else's dream...something you can walk in and explore. Getty is so beautiful. The view itself is breathtaking. I could stand at the edge and look out for hours...being filled with the overwhelming feeling of realizing how large the world is and how lil I am...how much there is left to see in this worlf of ours and how much living I have left. I finally got to see the garden...I think it would be better during the day but it was still beautiful at night. The atmosphere itself was just so great...I can't describe it. I found a home there in a sense cuz I sat there just taking things in and not really thinking about anything...nothing bothered me...it's like everything flitted away. I'm glad I got to share the sites with George...I know he appreciates beauty of art and views...I mean how can u not love the Getty? It still wows me right now...I have so much left of that museum to see. If u get the chance, go with a good friend or a significant other and just sit in the garden or stand at the railing that overlooks the city...take a long breath and just look around. allow ur eyes to drink up every drop of nature's beauty. How can u not love that familiarity? I can't wait til the next time I get the chance to go. I ended up getting back to the dorms at around 9. Art told me about gathering up some people to go hang out and play pool or bowl. Of course I was down...why let the fun end at Getty? I was gonna watch a movie with Ian and Rose but yea...I could watch it later. George called me up cuz he wanted to come along. Hahaha he felt uncomfortable at first but he finally loosened up and had fun when we got to the bowling alley. I hate when he beats me! UGH! Hustler!!! It's okay...I beat ART!!! LoL. First game, Art and I tied at 97 a piece. I so couldn't believe it. The second game freakin George had four strikes in a row!!! ARGH! NOOO Ur not suppose to win! LoL...He almost broke 200 last nite...he got 199. Dan, Art's friend...dang he was like bowling comando or whatever. He had the gear and the cyber arm. I was like, "Dang, ur cute and hella good..." hahaha Naw, but for reals..he was tite. Christine was hella funny too...another one of art's friends. She was like not able to hold the ball real well cuz it was heavy. Gary...dang, Gary was hella Juggernaut...I swear when he bowled the whole lane was gonna crash in. Invid was there...well, Jon and the guitarist whose name is slipping from me right now. It was cool! I had fun...it was a great way to end a wonderful day. I couldn't have been more blessed. Today there's a lil family thingy at Tita Celi's. Lola and Lolo live with em now...get to see the kids: EJ, Reggie, and Marissa. They are the most adorable things in the world. Not as cute as George's niece but still they are cute. Well, EJ has a fighting chance...lil spoiled brat. LoL Looking at those three make me think to myself, "I can't wait to be a mom or an aunt." I think Rain and Jing are perfect...and I can't wait til the day I am at their wedding sharing in their joy. She knows how to put my bro in his place and no girl has really done that. Jing has the cutest niece and nephew...I know the girls name is Jade but I forgot the boys name. They are half black and half filipino...SO CUTE! I still remember when I bought them this Yugi-Oh and White school pack thingy for christmas this past year and how my brother was tellin me that they loved em and they were carrying the lil bags around the house like purses and a backpack. They are already use to calling me Tita Sheena too....haha It's just one of those things I suppose. The joy of seeing that precious smile upon a child's face and the gentle laughter that sing to ur ears that just make u smile. Ugh...I get all warm inside. I have gotten so far off track now.
I have a performance tonight with 2S unit. It's gonna be great! I am still debating about singing. but yea...gonna go for now...gotta get ready.
