Going through the Motions

"I am the compassionate mother of you and your people here in this land and all of the other people who love, call to me, search for me, and confide in me. I will listen to their pain, suffering, and crying and heal them from their misery..."

SUCKS: These past couple of days have juss sucked. Im on the 91e merging unto the carpool lane this morning taking my aunt to work, when I get pulled over. The stupid jerk chp told me I cant merge in and out of the diamond lane when I want to. Wha the heck?! I merged into the carpool and I wouldve merged sooner if only the stupid truck would've let me in. I blame it all on the stupid truck, which I hope he gets into an accident or a ticket, for allowing me to get another stupid ticket. This time I'm going to fight it, I didnt deserve this one. My car must be cursed or something, I tell you if its not accidents then its tickets. CHP people suck!

CORE RETREAT: The core retreat is coming up this weekend, the only thing Im not too psyched up about is having to cook. Im giving a talk on the prayer life of a leader, maybe all these things happening to me are juss preperation for the retreat and for the talk. Its going to be exciting cuz everyone will be there. This will be the first time we'll have the whole collection so its going to be great. I know the new core is all hyped up and excited for it. This new core is like the start of a new season on tv. It almost like a new season of the real world ha except this time were in the same location. Fun times, I juss pray that errthang goes well that they continue to be open to whatever He tells them.

BIRFDAY SHOUT OUTS: The first one going out to abby, my 11am mass friend. Whenever I go to 11am mass I always usually save a couple of seats for her, her brother, and her cousin. She's a really cool, geninuely nice person whom I've had the pleasure of getting to know. Its cool cuz we share the same profession and so we would always swap stories about work. Next there's coy, coy one of the youf who I've known for a while, but juss got close to this year. A really cool kid, who's faith is inspiring. Despite the obstacles and the trials he's had this year, he has still managed to give His all to God. Not a whole lot of people can do that in times of hardships. Ive known this kid since the days of youf alpha, I think he was in the 2nd or 3rd season. At any rate, Happy birfday to the both of them!

ANNIVERSARIES: Congrats first off to the new mr. and mrs. dyogi. Banne's wedding was on saturday, nice a small intimate one. The music was great, which I think made the whole wedding even more beautiful. It was nice seeing and running into people who I havent seen in a while. Seeing charisse pregnant juss trips me out, ha never did I expect to see her pregnant so soon. I know she's getting married too in august, that's going to be crazy to see also. Its like the wonder years, errone is growing up now ha. Rob & Em celebrated their 2nd anniversary on sunday, so congrats to them. Man to think it was 2 years ago we were all getting down in with mai tais in hawaii. Those were some great times, yes they were. The two of them have always been there for me and my family when I needed them. In a sense they're kinda like the ninong and ninang I never really had ha. They're always there to take care of me, and Im blessed to have such a great friends like them in my life.

MINI ACCIDENT: To go along with my car story of the day, here's another one to knock your socks off. On friday I was meeting up rob at the block for lunch. Im in the parking lot, and I'm waiting for this girl's parking spot. Well she's backing out and all of a sudden she backs into me. By the time I tried to react it was already too freakin late. What kind of crap is that! We get out and exchange info. I could tell she was all nervous and stuff. She says somethign like, 'how come you have less damage then I do and my car is newer.' She was claiming her bumper was kinda coming off, but I think thas from something else. I have a small scratch on the front of my car which I did call the insurance for. AFter my car was jacked 2 years ago, I got it all nice and fixed, thas the last thing I need is an ugly scratch on my car. So monday I went in and turned in the car and all that crap such a hassle. Lesson to be learned watch where you are when you back up!

SUPRISE PARTIES: The other day I hung out w/mini heif for the first time in like 3-4 years. I wanst sure if it was going to be all awkward being we havent really talked since then too. Anyway, it edned up being really cool juss kinda catching up on life and wha not. I'll never forget the time we went to the sPv carnival and I had her throw the rings into the pepsi bottle. She was able to throw 2 of the rings over the bottles and then the booth people go....'weeeiiiiiiiiiiner!' hahaha fun times! Now she's freakin all grown up and wha not, thas crazy. So were putting together a suprise party for heif, and well at the same time her mom tells me she wants to do one for her also. WEll now I'm putting together a two in one suprise party for the both of them. Both thinking theyre throwing a suprise party for each other...its going to be a BIG suprise whne they find out its for the both of them.

GOOD BOOK: The other nite I was at borders and I found this book called, 'The prayer of Mary.' I started reading it and once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. I always seem to find good books over there. WEll this book is juss as wha the title says, it breaks down Mary's part into the three parts. The first part goes over her fiat wha it means and the importance of it. The second part is all about her Magnifcat, how you can make Mary's prayer yours, then the last part is about walking in Mary's way. I havent been able to put it down since I bought it. So Im almost done w/the 2nd half of the book. Being that I was real sleepy when I started to do the first part of it, I decided to go back and reread the first half all over again. Its amazing the things you miss out on when you're not full paying attention ha.

LOST: I went to the promenade in St. Monica yesterday, it was nice day to juss get away. Walked around the shops, walked along the pier, and the boardwalk. It was great cuz it wasn't too hot either, there was a nice breeze going. WEre on the way back and we couldn't remember what parking structure we parked at. It was getting kinda skurry cuz we were hopping from structure to structure trying to remember where we parked. Finally almost an hour later we find the right parking structure and the car! I was really starting to get worried, but low and behold errthang worked out. NIce day to spend out there, on the way home stopped by my cousin's new house. It's pretty neat, Im going to have to make an effort to go out there more now. I love LA! haa



its going to be one busy summer!

"Do anything you want, just let me cater to you..."im done, im out God bless!
