life is so unpredictable.

a member of our philippine hometown association passed away last night. actually, she was the wife of the president of the association. we were having one of our biggest parties of the year when the family decided to take her off life support. it was terrible news. she had a stroke on thursday went into a comatose state, her husband managed to make it to the fiesta on saturday to give his opening words, then left asap to be with his wife of course, and the story is that they were waiting for the eldest daughter to arrive from europe before they could decide what to do.

the party ended as soon as we heard the news.

rest in peace auntie pining

note: as soon as it hits 75 degrees again i’m buying me some blonde hair. thats one of the fake things i like, bleached out hair. BUT NOT ON EVERYONE. like today, i saw platinum hair on a fake tanned sorority girl and that was a no. its terrible for mine because its super black and has to be double processed, still its worth it.

side note: its funny how some people say you just get used to heels. i doubt that. i saw hella women in vegas give up on their shoes at 2am and walk on the nasty sidewalk barefooted. NO, you do not get used to walking on 3 inch nails while keeping all your weight on the balls of your feet. NO.

NO.

nobody in the world knows how to take “jeff&kate” pictures except for dean sagun. NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO TAKE OUR PICTURE!!! dean, if you are reading this you need to permanently move to california after you graduate.

its irritating because everybody else gets such great pictures but when jeff has to hand somebody else the camera its like they don’t have eyes and they’re on crack. composition people… ITS CALLED FREAKING COMPOSITION….

ok i said my piece.

…because thinking about things i love is therapy for me…

01. the man, aka jeff. (corny, COUGH.)

i hate it when my life contrasts so strikingly. i hate it.

at 6:30 this morning i was sitting in the las vegas airport, only two hours later i was back in cold ass sacto ready to catch up on sleep.

the endorphins are crazy right now.

it sucks how my extended family is spread all throughout the nation. it was nice to see them all together again. two family reunions in two years is a good run for us. sucks that christmas will not be like last year. ehh. i’m just sad in general. emo is me right now. emo.

everyone is allowed to be emo once in a while.

every night its…

work out?

don’t work out…

work out?

f*it.

i’m not a super human girl who will choose jumping rope over sitting on the couch and watching tv. some days its easier than others… most of the time, its a battle between my mind and body. everyday… its a battle. sooooooo lazy.

its back to marathon training without the marathon. maybe next year i will finally do one.

life is at a lame standstill. it will probably stay this way until i graduate, focus mode, without the focus, if you know what i’m saying… but after i get my bachelors… i’m hitting san diego / brooklyn-nyc / philadelphia / boston / and maui next summer. BIG BIG PLANS. i do big things.

and i’m going to eat and live it up at each and every one of those cities. i think i deserve it after six fking years of school. yeah.

i got vegas going on in less than a week. its vegas with two fresh 21-kids. should be fun, jeff and i will make fun of all the plastic people and find unconventional things to do… while drinking spiked juice and things with stupid names like “scooby snack” and “red headed slut.”

viva.

new plan.

i’ve decided to introduce my future kids to beat and rhythm while they are still in the womb… so they can be dance child prodigies and be better than jt and any of his dancers. they can surpass my abilities by tenfold all they want… they better like to dance… bet-ter. jeff won’t be able to stop this either.

halloween went pretty well. too bad our class has no spirit, they suck, thats pretty much it. we had just enough halloween candy to give out at the house. lastly, we already know our costumes for next year… senior citizens.

its gonna be good.
