WOW.
We're third years!!!!

That's really weird. Seriously, weren't we just a bunch of 1st years?

Anyways, I hope you all are having a nice summer. We should all have dinner sometime =)

So....its 4:46AM

Well, yeah the title says it all. Great time for me to pick my first post here, but I'm going to keep this short and sweet. First of all, to explain why I'm up, I just came back from a Vietnamese Stations of the Cross that some LOGgers went to (Kirs, Erwin and Julian to name a couple) and also had some delicious pho at Pho Hua, which I highly recommend. To get a little serious for a bit, I thought it was a great experience. Rarely do people get to experience their religion from a different culture's perspective, but this gave us that chance. It was definitely inspiring. They simulate a burial ceremony for Jesus, even put a statue of Jesus in a tomb on display. One of those "wow" moments, real talk. Also, Father John Francis is a pop star to that community, he sang a solo and was the MC. Great night indeed.

With that out of the way, I just wanted to wish everyone a relaxing and peaceful Spring Break. I'm sure all you guys regulated on finals, no doubt. Have a great Easter and I hope to see you guys soon. Praying for you.

To a Great 2008!

Happy New Year, 2010ers! I hope everyone is having a blessed, wonderful, and restful vacation with family (: I can't believe we're starting a brand new year, and I'm so excited to live out the new paths and experiences it will bring. I know for a fact that I'm looking forward to winter and spring quarters, and of course more 2010 hangout meals! I've missed you all a lot over vacation and can't wait to hear all about what you got to do over our three weeks of cheer :D

Love and prayers always.

I LOVE YU THIS MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

YO MY HOMESLICES, HOMEFRIES, AND MY BROTHASSSS AND SISTAAASSS FROM ANOTHER MISTASS!

I HAVENT BEEN HERE FOR AWHILE…TO BE EXACT WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 2007. DANNGGG I KNOW.

So why the sudden urge to divulge the minute details of my mundane and boring life?!?!? (JK MY LIFE ISNT BORING—NO ONE’S IS—LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!) …anywhoo! It’s my voice (or lack thereof) that has induced me to write once again…and it’s probably better for my instrument (aka voice—you know how I sing it to the RAFTAS…jk wayyy jk) instead of talking. UGH but I love to talk.

Hmm so I guess I should update you guys on what’s going on cause I feel like we haven’t caught up in a while:

First and foremost: YEAH YUHH 2010! I KNOW YOU MISS THAT ;)

SO if you saw me after last Thursday I sounded either like a pubescent boy or according to my roomies and sister, MARGE from the simpsons. I guess I just didn’t have a cold!  but I’m getting better! I went to the doctor…and now my bacteria is being cultured in some lab. He thinks I have CROUP…which is apparently prevalent in little kids (which I’m not ?... so majorly confusing) but yeahh it leads to acute laryngitis! I wikipedia-ed it just in case you were interested (which I’m guessing no but whatevs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croup) I LOVE WIKIPEDIA BTW. I know not all of it is legit, but HEY if you don’t have anything to do just HIT RANDOM ARTICLES. You’ll learn some thing! But back to what I was talking about…So yes he’s not sure but lab results should come in muy pronto. Haha ok enough of that. I’m sure that’s more than you’ll ever want to know about the status of my throat.

Anywhoo! This is year is BUSY! BUT SOOOO GOOD BUSY. Minus the academic part…cause lately I feel like I haven’t really dedicated my time to that whatsoever! YEAHH LET’S STUDY! And I think at this point I may have to drop my upper division class despite how thought-provoking it is. UGH IT’S SO good. BUT I have to think about what’s mostly academically (grade/gpa) advantageous. Seriously those upperclassmen are so freakin knowledgeable of the world—that’s what a poli sci major should be. I can’t help but feel a bit intimidated. But I think that’s only partially why I want to drop the class…it’s just 20 units this time is a lot! I thought I could handle it like last year! But I guess it’s better to focus on a few classes and get an AWESOMELY AMAZING GPA. Yeahh yuhh 4.0! JOIN ME ON MY QUEST FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE! STUDYYY GROUPS/PARTAYYTAYYY ANYONE??? Hollaaaaa!

Although we’re not new at this college thing, I still feel like there’s something extra-refreshing/rejuvenating about this year! It’s kinda like those icy-blast commercials---WHOOSHHH a breath of fresh air in YO FACE! I think it’s just freshmen year, everything was so new and foreign that you battle with a lot of doubt. Now being a second year, it’s kinda like ohhh I have a feel for the college thing, now I just have to do my best to seize the abundant opportunities that we are presented on a daily basis! Don’t get me wrong I LOVED freshmen year.

But it’s hard not to be overwhelmed by the plethora of goodness surrounding us! but it’s a GOOD overwhelming! We just got to as the famous, smooth, sultry, and seexxxyy JOHN LEGEND says... “TAKE IT SLOW!”…babayyyy!

Aww I REALLY WANNA SPICE GIRLS. Damn having three finals…but if I drop the class… two finals after the concert doesn’t sound that bad?

ANYWHOO.

OHHH second year. I’m ready for you! Just be CONFIDENT in everything you do. WORK IT! SHAKE WHAT YO MAMA GAVE YAAAA!

DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT!

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING 

Uhh so yeah. I don’t know the point of this blog! I think it’s just a bunch of non-sequiturs put together—I guess of my brain works! GARRULOUS.

But let’s catch up cause I miss all of you!

[note: this was written yesterday, SATURDAY, but I might add, waking up this morning, my voice is better  ]

P.S. wow I’m surprised / apologize if you read this entire entry…it’s wayyyyy to long. But anywhoo! Thanks for your patience and strength in putting up w/ my random bam in yo face energy—two attributes you’ll need w/ me i guess?)

Ok BYEEE! AND LOVESSSSS YOU MY DEARRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oops

So I just realized that my "Name" on here doesn't exactly say my name. lol.

So to clear up the confusion... this is Eddy.

=)

So Much Lost Time

What's happening 2010ers??

Well, I just wanted to say that I'm so glad I started coming back to LOG so I could meet and chill with you ridculously good-looking people like yourselves. Really, I'm so glad to have met all of you and that this is going to be the beignning of such beautiful friendships.

I hope all of you will have a fun and SAFE summer. See you all later.

Show those finals who's boss!!!

This deserves a repost.

It's the twenty-first day of May!

HAPPY MONDAY! School's almost out!

Greetings from Stockton

I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break! I can't wait to see you all again....one week was simply way tooo long! So I was reminiscing just a second ago about when we first made this blog!! Hahaha...we were all in my dorm, during finals week for fall quarter, definitely not studying, and just being dorks! I think I have that one incredibly long aim conversation saved somewhere! Good times for real!
Winter Quarter turned out to be pretty okay.....hello I PASSED all of my classes! I hope you all are happy with your grades, but you all are super smart, so the heck.....I am positive you all did GREAT :) But yes....this quarter had it's fun moments! Everything from taking the alumni out to dinner, to winter retreat, and to just hanging out and talking with everyone....soo good!
So anyways...KRYSTLE DIANE, KHRYSTYN, JAMIE, HOLLY, NIKKI, KATHLEEN, and MELISSA....here's to a fresh quarter filled with lots of FUN, GOOD TIMES, and STUDYING!!
See you all soon!

Expecting April Showers

So it's early in morning on this wonderful Wednesday morning. Just got back from running 3 miles with my mommy =) It's kind of clowdy today, and there's a 40% chance of rain. It looks like a day for snuggling by the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa. Mmm, very appealing. Unfortunately I don't have a fireplace to keep warm by, so does that mean I can't stay warm? Haha, no, I have my 2010 loves to think about, hooray! So yes, I've missed them a lot lately, but they don't seem so far away with the IM technology I've started to go on more often, hehe.

Today will be fun-filled. Lunch with my mom and perhaps some movie renting. And of course finishing my mystery novels.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day and week back at home!

PS- Krystle, the theme song for this week is "Staying Alive" in regards to keep the posts alive, tehe =)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Happy 19th Birthday Khrystyn!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR: HERE WE GO, LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN!

OH MAN OH MAN. WHAT A CRUMMMYYYY DAY (Coffee-Crumb-Cake-from-Starbucks Status). And for some reason my EMOTIONS ARE ON A WAY HIGH. Yesterday was like the BEST DAY EVER (SHOUT OUT TO MY SISTASSS)…BUT YEAH TODAY WAS NOT SO MUCH. I hate how anger brings out the worst in people…driving them to say hateful and completely hurtful things. I know everyone is human…but you always do this. And I know I don’t help that much…because instead of being submissive to your supposedly “helpful talks” and keeping my comments/thoughts/opinion to myself…I can’t. I have to speak my mind…and I’m sorry if what I have to say angers you. But you can’t always get it your way…so can we just compromise or something??? I know you don’t mean to be hurtful/mean…but you are sometimes.

But as a New Year’s day approaches, I just want to leave all this ickiness behind. START FUNKY FRESH! And to think of it I’m soo motivated more than ever to make this quarter and this new year completely AMAZING. 2006 was seriously a roller coaster year…so many HIGHS…LOWS…AND EMOTIONS. High School along with its stressfulness, college apps/acceptances/rejections and MY FAVORITE friends, sisters, extracurriculars…in general memories filled w/ uncontrollable laughter/cries/hugs that moved me to point of watery eyes…and in some extreme cases tears GOOD TIMES GOOD TIMES….ALL OF THAT seems such a LIFETIME AGO. It’s a good thing though! I’m growing in many ways: personally/intellectually/emotionally!...unfortunately not physically (I’m talking about height people…though I’m sure I’m well on my way to the freshmen 15) gosh I don’t think I’ll ever be 5’3’’ as my doctor promised! Ohh WELL. AT LEAST MY IQ IS QUITE TALL…IT’S SKY ROCKETING! ;) hahahaa

SO YES! I’M SOO EXCITED AND PUMPED FOR THE NEW YEAR! BRING IT ON FOOOOSSSS! Ready to LIVE, LEARN, AND LOVE YET AGAIN! ALONG WITH THIS NEW YEAR…I HOPE I’M ON WAY TO A BETTER ME! (CORNY I KNOW)…BUT I WANT TO BE A BETTER PERSON/DAUGHTER/SISTER/STUDENT/FRIEND, ETC. I WANT MORE. I’M READY FOR MORE. BRRRRINNGGG IT!

GOODBYE 2006…I’VE LEARNED FROM MY MISTAKES AND LEARNED TO FORGIVE AND FORGET THE WORST PARTS OF THE YEAR. AND I’M GOING TO CONTINUE TO EMBRACE ALL THE GOOD THINGS 2006 BROUGHT TO MY LIFE, ESPECIALLY THE BONDS AND MEMORIES I HAD. OHH HOLD UP WAIT A MINUTE LET ME PUT SOME GROOOOVVEEE IN IT! (HAHA YOU KNOW YOU KNOW THE CHEERRR!) BUT TO THINK OF IT I DON’T THINK I SHOULD SAY AU REVOIR TO 2006.

2006 TO MEET 2007. HELLLOOOOO 2007! THE OLD MEETS NEW. YOU’RE INVITED TO THE MARRIAGE OF 2006 & 2007. MAY IT BE A HAPPY & FRUITFUL MARRIAGE! HAHA…OK LAME METAPHOR. BUT ANYWHOO!

HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR’S EVERYONEEE!
STAY SAFE & PARTAYTAY IT UP!
AND I REALLY MISSS AND LUHHHH ALL OF YOU!
HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!!!!

HERE WE GO, LIFE’S WAITING TO BEGIN!

(GREEN IS SIGNIFICANT OF OUR NEW FRESH BEGINNING!)

SO OFFICIAL, SO FRESHHH

So this is the eve of New Years Eve and really, I'm super excited to bring in the New Year. You know the whole saying about how you can leave the old year in the past and just start off fresh, I know you can't literally do that, but still I see soo many possibilities in 2007 and I just look forward to forgetting and moving on from all my baggage in 2006. Don't get me wrong, 2006 wasnt a bad year, really I'm super blessed, but there are some things I'm glad are over and done with. Nobody's perfect, we all have our faults, and we all have our times when we get in a shlump...but theres just something so liberating and strengthening about getting through these situations and being able to move on....I'm leaving 2006 on a good note.

BTW Jamie, I luhhh the soundtrack to your life. It kinda seems like mine right now. Irreplacable is thee song.

I feel like the new outfit you buy that blows everyone away.

so YES I'm moving on...2007 is going to be GREAT I feel it---It's going to be SO OFFICIAL and SO FRESH. I miss all you guys and cant wait to see you all in less than a week and have more FUN GOOD TIMES.

SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE

SOOO BREAK has left me w/ a lot to think about…IT’S GOOD SO FAR…I LOVE RECONNECTING w/ loved ones…it makes me feel warm and fuzzy (haha CORNY…YES I KNOW). But anywhoo I’ve noticed some things about myself. SO I don’t know why I always do this, but I OVERANALYZE THINGS wayyyy too much….ALWAYS seeing or feeling something that really isn’t there. I just get in way OVER MY HEAD (GO THE FRAY!...That’s such a beautiful song! sigggghhh). Well habits die hard. So I’m guess I’m going to revert back to my old ways and (over) ANALYZE.

So I’ve had these songs stuck in my head lately! So WHY? Hmmmm no se! Is it the catchy tune that the artist and co. fabricate in order to keep those tracks running in our head 24/7? I SAY NO! For some reason I think these songs are completely paralleling the emotions that emerging from my SOUL….haha ok not so much…I like to dramatize things soo please humor me...haha…UMM BUT REALLY…for some reason they seem significant. But anywhoo whether or not they are here we go! I’m not sure how much I can express into writing…but it may be trite and complete nonsense. So yes…

“God Only Knows” by Beach Boys
“God only knows what I’d be without you”

Sooo I’m really glad I’m getting a grip w/ this whole college thing. And like really bonding w/ people or finding people I “mesh” well w/! I’m just so thankful I have all of them in my life! J but I know how it goes w/ relationships from past experience…man I guess I fear change! But change is good! Why can’t I just always believe that! Lsjdfasj ok

“Irreplaceable” by Beyoncé
“To the left. To the left…
You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable”

YAY! I guess this song just represents the part of me that’s really good and confident about where I am in my life. SOOO YAY! FOR INDEPENDENT WOMEN! …gosh I’m glad that beyonce is singing songs like this again…not like that cater 2 u…gosh what was that…but yeah anywhoo. Yay assertiveness!

“Dancing in the Moonlight” by Toploader
“Dancing in the moonlight
Everybodys feeling warm and bright
Its such a fine and natural sight
Everybody’s dancing in the moonlight”

MAN OH MAN that's such a BEAUTIFUL NOTION/IMAGE. GOSH…TWO WORDS: swoon & sighhhh! Man oh man! While I feel that incredible surge of independence and contentedness w/ how everything is, I can’t help but want more from my life…but I guess that’s not necessarily a bad thing right? Like it’s good to always strive for more! ...part of me feels so unfulfilled or like yearning for something! It seems so hard…or perhaps I’m just rushing too much…to anxious. So yeah I guess I just have to be PATIENT and TRUST…I’m on this journey…and it’s just beginning…here we go, life’s waiting to begin.

Ohh RANDOM side note: I really love that diamond commercial…it’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! It makes my heart dance :)

MERRRYYY CHRISTMASSSSSS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONEEEE!!!!!!
YAY! I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR...BUT I LUHH YOU GUYS MOREEE!


OHH BTW PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS! YOU SHOULD GO SEE IT!!!!
QUITE INSPIRATIONAL!
YES! WE CAN ALL GET 4.0'S! (WOW I'M REALLY NERDY...YEAH YUH THAT'S RIGHT REPRESENT FOOOOSSS)
NO BUT SERIOUSLY...I HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR...I'M SO BLESSED TO BE SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO LOVE, SUPPORT, ACCEPT ME FOR WHO I AM. I HAVE SO MUCH GOING FOR ME (THAT IS TO BE SAID IN THE UPMOST UNCONCEITED FASHION), I JUST HOPE W/ GOD'S HELP, I CAN LIVE UP TO MY TRUE POTENTIAL.

SSSSOO! I HOPE YOU ALL OF YOU HAVE A BLESSED AND SAFE CHRISTMAS SEASON!

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU IN LIKE A WEEK!!!!! :) YAY!
OHHH AND HAPPY NEW YEAR'S TOOO!
PARTY IT UPPPPPP!!!!!! RAISE THE ROOOFFF (I KNOW YOU JUST TOTALLY DID THE SHOULDERS AND HAND MOTION...ADMIT IT) HAHHAAHA :)

Merry CHRISTmas! Maligayang Pasko! Feliz Navidad!

Being with family is always the best. We may struggle a lot, but we still love each other.

I know I’m going to be sad tonight when 99.3 KJOY stops playing Christmas music. It happens every year around midnight. They start playing regular “contemporary” songs in between a few Christmas songs and then by one am…Christmas music is gone until next year. Honestly, Christmas doesn’t end until Epiphany so technically Christmas songs should be on the airwaves until then an we can keep saying Merry Christmas!! But really, I’m one of those people who listen to Christmas music all year long! Haha when I was getting ready for my Debut, I was so listening to my 98 Degree’s Christmas cd!!!!! But anyways, for the drive back down to Irvine, I’m making a Christmas cd!!!!
Watch out!!!!!!!

Anyways, Merry CHRISTmas everyone!
MALIGAYANG PASKO!!!!!!!! (see….how my Tagalog vocabulary has grown! Haha)
