so while i should either be sleeping or cleaning or taking out the trash or something.. i am sitting here listening to music, surfing the internet and now blogging. :) i don't really have anything exciting to say, but if i don't blog now i'll go on another whole month hiatus and that'll be a mess.

i have been really tired lately and i think it's because i screwed up my sleeping schedule after i stopped working.. or well.. i've put my body through worse :P friday my daddy left for taiwan. i was supposed to leave with him, but postponed my flight because i had to do some stuff for my sister. it's not too bad.. i have a few days of solitude and get to stay out of the 95 degree humidity of taiwan... ack!! so i took him to the aiport and had a quick late lunch/early dinner at the daily grill in the airport. it was alright.. i bet the one not in the airport is way better.. but whatever. then i drove up to my sister's office.. there was SO much traffic. more than usual.. sure.. maybe it was friday afternoon, but i swear there was way more traffic than i was used to seeing. it took me 50 minutes to get from LAX to ucla-ish area (south of ucla). it was madness. worked on digitizing a bunch of footage and finally left at 9:30pm or so. i have no idea how it got so late so fast. after that i just stayed home and chilled.. i thought i would hang out with friends, but they all ditched me so i just spent the night by myself. it's okay.. i had my tv :)

saturday was semi-productive. after waking up at a nice hour (12pm?) i hung out and one of my jason mraz crazy friends, jon, came over to upload the concert recordings he had. i was excited though because i really wanted to get the recording of the show before i left for taiwan so i could have it on my ipod, and now i do. yay! i also did some more shopping for more "nice clothes" and dresses for all the "special occasions" in taiwan. although i spent like $500 @ nordstrom, $400 @ nordstrom rack and some more money at other random stores.. and my mom had already bought me a few dresses from robinson's may.. i still felt like i needed to buy stuff. so i re-visited nordstrom, claire's (for more earrings for my sis), umm.. my flagship, the gap and some other places.. probably spent a few hundred more. we're going to be going on a lot of return-sprees after we get back. but yea.. i found some dresses that i liked so i think that i will be okay. now i have to find some more "nice" everyday clothes... i guess jeans and tshirts or whatever aren't good enough for my mom. but that also might be too hot anyways :P ack.. so much stuff to pack! along with my own stuff (clothes, shoes, dresses, accessories, bathroom stuff, hair stuff. etc etc etc) i have to pack stuff for my mom, sister and dad. this pack-rattyness so runs in the family. so it's kind of exciting .. but busy.. there's going to be a engagement lunch, then a family dinner, then rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.. then the wedding! crazy. in a week my sister will be married :P and i was originally going to arrive way earlier than everyone else (when i was going to leave with my dad) but now that i'm leaving later i'm arriving a few hours before my cousin and then we can just check into our hotel (instead of me sleeping on the floor at the relatives). which may be a little better. i also gotta edit my sister's wedding video possibly while i'm there... i hope it's okay :P gosh.. busy busy, but yet i don't "feel" anything yet. people keep asking me.. are you excited? but i dunno.. i always tend not to get too excited about things until right before they happen. :P anyhoo.. saturday night beth came over after dinner with her relatives and we headed out to the block to meet up with nicole at our favorite fun rip off game place, dave & busters. originally i thought jimmy, sakura and carol were going to come play, but it got late and everyone was tired so it was just us three nerds :) but it was way fun, we got our tokens and got our drinks. we arrived right before last call (who has last call at 12pm?!) so did a little bit of double fisting.. hahah and we ran around wild with our power cards whoring for tickets. not really whoring, just playing. we played a few random games, but mostly sat in front of the machines were you drop the tokens and try to get pushy thing to push the coins over the edge. sorry can't really explain it that well. but by the end of the night i had 1700 tickets.. (whoo hoo) and got all sorts of random crap that i don't need, including a 6 in 1 magnetic game set, a raver LED light beam ring, a pocket pen, a disc shooter gun and a coffee mug for beth. i didn't have enough points to get the golf ball and tees and the hideo nomo card and plaque. boo.. next time. or maybe i should save up for an xbox. hahah.. with the money you spend, you might as well just buy one :P afterwards we went to denny's and saw all the disneyland employees hang out there, but just ate and chatted and laughed a lot. i was crying at one point. drove beth and i home (half asleep) and finally crawled into bed and slept. yay. it was a lot of fun.. dave and busters is awesome. hahah and slightly better when you're inebriated. :P oh yea.. and beth got a cool paddleball toy that was tons of fun.. everyone kept taking it away from her.. including the drunk guys in the parking lot who wanted to show us "how to do it" but ending looking like idiots. hahah.. nice.

today i didn't some more interviews. i drove to LA and got really confused because i couldn't find this restaurant i was supposed to meet my sister's friends at. there was no big sign, so i passed it a few times before i realized where it was. but it's a really really cute restaurant called saketini tha one of the guys in better luck tomorrow actually owns. so it's cool.. it's very small and cute and quaint and apparently has great good :) i'm thinking we might go dine there sometime soon :) but you should go check it out! it looks awesome. so anyways.. went to the gym with sakura (i was supposed to go all week, but haven't been since last sunday.. oops) but yea.. had to work off that hamburger i had @ denny's the night before.. among other things. and was really really tired so i took a six hour nap :P i missed an awesome mraz show in san diego apparently.. sucks. oh well.. next time eh? i'll just have to wait until he plays @ java joe's or lestats or twiggs again. not that i hope it'll happen soon, or that his popularity with decline.. but someday he'll reach a point where maybe he doesn't need or want to play big places anymore.. and just return back to the coffee shops.. that would be awesome. hahah.. i can dream can't i?

tonight beth came over and she helped me pick out which clothes and shoes were best and tried a few on herself. it was just like playing dress up.. and we sat in our pretty clothes and looked at really old pictures from key club and band days.. it was strange. hahah. but a good time.

now that it is really really late.. i should probably go clean out my fridge and take out the trash. yuk. good thing i am sleeping in.

ack! i can't believe i'm leaving in less than 48 hours for my sister's wedding!
