another wonderful week of october! afternoon everybody, i'm bored! haha. this place looks pretty gloomy because of my lovely page colors. i wanted to put new colors but they were gonna end up being black with baby blue font, and that's even darker than my current background choice of grey. maybe a nice change to white would be nice when i get a chance. yes, you guessed it! i'm at work haha. i need to make this place look more entertaining. i plan on adding videos like i used to. i know i haven't done it in a while but that's because all my last entries are written here at work. i don't spend enough time at home to do anything else but play guitar, sleep and eat. guess i'll keep this short today. the keyboard i'm typing on is loud and i want to type my natural speed but it's way too fast to be work-related so i'll update again soon, and hopefully with something interesting to talk about.

Today is a different day at work. I finished very early in the day and have been spending the past few hours on facebook, twitter, yahoo! News, and writing a few emails. I can respond to emails all day so if you get bored, send me something at kirbyquinto@hotmail.com and you will get a response depending when you send it. Keep me busy and I will do the same for you! Haha
Here is another week’s livejournal entry! I’m glad I can keep this up, with one or two entries a week. I wish I had some photos to put up to keep this page from looking too much like a novel and more like a story book or something. It needs to be more colorful, so I will see what I can conjure up here at work.
The taco truck came by as it always does around 9:15am, so I went out there and bought lunch to eat soon. It’s lunch hour now so I can start right now if I wanted but I’d rather first tell you that I bought 2 carne asada tacos. They are going to be so damn good! Alright, going to snack on them! I will finish this after.
(2 carne asada tacos and a coke later)
So! What’s new? Things are going great with tricia. That’s all I’ll really say right now about that. Some things I’d like to keep between us. Work is fine as always. I’m learning almost everything and it’ll still be a while till I can do everything effortlessly but so far, I can’t complain. The paychecks are too damn awesome for that!
I bought a new acoustic guitar sometime last week and it sounds amazing. I’m writing new songs and getting back into playing. It’s easier to do so when I have someone to jam with so I look forward to the next session. The first band practice last week was fun. Went to jenny’s house to play, and her house is the nicest thing ever. There is so much room to do karate kicks and somersaults haha. I got a parking ticket on her street because supposedly there is street sweeping early Friday afternoons and no signs that say so! What a waste of $54.
What is there to look forward to this weekend? I asked tricia if she wants to go to Disneyland on Sunday because it’s the coldest day of the week there in Anaheim, which is supposed to be 71 degrees. I hope it’s accurate when the day rolls around. The plan is a maybe though depending on how busy school gets for her. Besides that, nothing for Thursday to Saturday but I’m sure I’ll find something to do.
It’s almost my birthday! There is some planning going on. Not much though because I like to lag and wait till it’s close. Plus! Michelle’s birthday is a week before mine so I never even consider what to do till hers passes. I’m going to monster massive for Halloween and will also count that as my birthday so I can spend time with everyone who’s going that I might not see my birthday weekend. I’m really looking forward to Christmas now that I have money to buy nice gifts but that’s not for a while.
Anyway, it didn’t take me long to write this whole thing and I could easily write more but I won’t. don’t want to keep boring people so let’s leave it at that! Now go to your own journal and update your life for me!
random photo time? yes!

Another week over and I know I already posted an entry 2 days ago but I’ve run out of things to do and I’ve completely shut down haha. I get out of work in 2.5 hours and I just had a big lunch. All of us got shakey’s box, which is a mini pizza, 2 pieces of chicken and mojo so I’m pretty stuffed. I barely ate half but I bought breakfast this morning and I didn’t get to eat it till 11pm so I had 2 meals within 2 hours! I don’t think I have anything new to talk about but I’d rather type something here than do nothing.
I’m going to pick up a new guitar soon. I’ve played with the same guitar over and over at guitar center and someone on craigslist is selling theirs for a lot less. I will give them a call later today when I get out of work and hopefully I can get it tomorrow early. I am going to go crazy and start writing music like it’s nothing. I’ve been waiting to work on new stuff but my current guitar is out of tune and I don’t currently own a tuner. Even if it were tuned, it would still sound like crap compared to the new one im going to buy because I have a cheaper guitar and the one I’m buying isn’t so cheap. Hopefully it all works out because I don’t want to have to pay retail price for it haha.
I want to write more but now I am out of things to write about. Guess we’ll talk about the upcoming weekend? Today, I’m going to see tricia after work get yogurtland with her. Then at night, I guess I’ll hang with the boys and find something to do. Friday, I might coincidently get yogurtland again and then maybe our first band practice if it all happens. Later, going to hang out with tricia and then I don’t know about the night. The rest of the nurses want to go to this gay bar that gretchel, aika and I went to last weekend. It was fun when we went but I’m not really looking to do it again this weekend. Maybe I just had more fun going as a small group or maybe it’s because I’m feeling sick this week. Sunday is a free day for me to chill, maybe write some new music and catch up on sleep.
So since Tuesday, I’ve been feeling a bit sick. It might be related to the smoking because right after my 4th one that day, that’s when I first started feeling sick. Maybe it has something to with the change in weather or how little sleep I’ve been getting. I should get better soon. I’ve been taking it easy since then.
I will end it at here because I’m really tired now. Going to read some articles or whatever I can find on yahoo news home page. Have a good weekend everyone!

Another week, another update! Work today has been good but I’ve finally run out of things to do. We have 2 things to finish but one of them, we don’t have the proper instructions to do yet so we’re waiting for that, and the other thing I need to do is fix a problem that betty made when we first started using this new system. usually, I have no problems fixing these but for some reason, I keep getting errors that stop me from finishing so maybe ill let betty have a try or email the IT guys to fix this problem so I can finish my production. it is almost the end of the month so we have to make sure all these alcohol tanks match the records of the guys down in the plant so we can stay in sync with each other. It’s 2pm and this is the first time I’ve ever taken a 5hr energy so late in the day. I’m only going to be here for 2 hours but I feel tired. I didn’t get much sleep last night so yeah.
I should write some of these entries at home so I can put photos too but I never seem to have time to do that anymore. I do have time but I’d rather spend my down time being a lazy bum because I can’t really do that during the day and the weekends are most busiest for me because I make it a mission to get out of the house and do something, whether or not I have plans.
What’s new? Well, I might play music with linh [vo] sometime soon. I barely found out she plays guitar so we had a conversation about it and we’re gonna jam sometime. I look forward to it, especially because her guitar is a taylor and I’ve been wanting one for some time now. I might just get one soon for the occasion because I can easily afford it now. I’ve only been spending small amounts of my paycheck buying a few bottles of beer and a lot of random candy and soda at the supermarket.
I can’t really think of anything else thought I do have a lot on my mind but we’ll save that for sometime later this week when I finish my work too early and need something to do. Stay classy san diego!

I’m glad to see that I’ve been able to update this journal at least once a week, and it’s always at work haha. Shows how much time I get when I finish my homework. I actually don’t keep the livejournal window open… I open up a small Microsoft word window on the bottom corner of my screen and type in it when I’m not doing anything. People notice but I don’t care because there is no way they can assume that I’m having a great time typing in a word document. Noticed how the beginnings of my sentences are capitalized? I prefer all lower case when I type here but word automatically does it. Oh well, I get my point out anyway. I would like to keep the entry significantly shorter than my last one, so look forward to that!
Work is fine this week. I’ve been doing a lot of work by myself and correctly. So far, I haven’t heard any complaints. I wish it was Thursday so I could enjoy my paycheck haha. I’m in no hurry though because life is good right now. The more I work, the more I miss going to school and even though I didn’t really get much done, I know I will want to finish it just to finish and have something to back me up incase I take a turn for the worse, or if skynet takes over and the world joins together to fight against the machines!
My love life is going well. I thought I would have much more to say but unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned but for the best. Every time we hang out, we talk more and we get closer so I can only say that things are getting better everyday.
I don’t really need to update you on the other things I talked about last time because I pretty much did that in my last entry under the comments section. Clara pretty much asked me what I could possible update you on, so go back there and read that if you wonder about anything else.
Are you ready for the weekend? My friend david is graduating on Thursday and jenny tran turns 21. Why do they have to be the same day at the same time? Fate is tearing me apart hahaha jk. This Saturday, I’m going to a party that aika’s cousin is throwing, and I’m going to Disneyland with tricia on Sunday. I’m finally going to be able to pick up the annual pass that they took away, and hopefully this weather stays cool so I don’t melt like the last time I went. It was high 90’s then, and the future forecast for Sunday says 87 but you know it will probably change as the day comes closer. Do you like the weather so far? It’s going to go up a little bit but then start to go down again. I can’t wait for the winter weather to kick in. I love wearing jackets and sleeping under 2 blankets at night when it’s freezing cold haha.
Anyway, I don’t want to write too much because if I write too much, I feel like I don’t have to update for a long time and id rather have many short entries in a row so I can write more often, so let’s end this here. Have a good day everyone!

[10 Sep 2009|10:48am] |
Wow, doesn’t feel like it’s been 10 days since my last confession! Feels like it’s been 3 or 4, but oh well. Another work week over, and my load has slowly lightened to nothing. It has been a pretty good week beginning from my weekend.
Thursday, I went to a bar for a friend’s birthday in downtown Fullerton. I drove down there with Tricia but unfortunately, they didn’t let her in because the ID she borrowed was expired. Usually they don’t care about expired licenses unless you’re trying to get into a club or bar in Las Vegas. I ended up sitting outside with her and we walked around till she had to go home. She’s got a few more months till she can get into bars with her own ID. Friday, a bunch of us went to Irvine for linh’s housewarming. It was pretty fun. We swam, drank, and passed out. Saturday, daryl, Brandon and I went to santa monica for a little housewarming for Justin. We went to some bars and a few of us got pretty drunk. We went swimming after we got back from the bar and we were pretty loud. I won’t get into details about it but it’s not like there aren’t photos on facebook. They are all very embarrassing. On Sunday, I went to a karaoke bar for aika’s birthday. They are strict when it comes to bringing in alcohol, so when I tried to sneak in parrot bay rum in a water bottle stuffed in my jacket, but the security guard followed me and found it. He asked “what is this?” and I said “water” and he smelled it. He then gave it to one of the fobby workers there and she asked the same thing so I said the same thing. She proceeded to smell it as well. It seemed like neither of them could tell that it was rum but knew it wasn’t water. I told them that I would take it back to the car, so thank goodness it wasn’t worse. We went back to aika’s after to drink and one by one, people began to leave. I ended up staying there overnight because I wasn’t sober enough to drive. On Monday, I went with family for my dad and jenn’s birthday at kabuki in Cerritos. The food there was pretty good. We went to the mall after and then home. As soon as I got home, ran to my car and drove off to see tricia. We ended up going to a park in the area called Shadow Oak. It was a really nice park. We sat and talked, and agreed to come back with her dog Toffee. I know that Tuesday isn’t part of my weekend, but I ended up going out after work to see tricia but since I drove for an hour and a half to get to her house through traffic, I ended up laying down the whole time I was there.
This weekend plans include taking tricia out on Friday, 2 birthdays on Saturday, and a nice day to rest on Sunday. It won’t be as much as this past weekend so my next entry shouldn’t be too long but just as interesting.
Work has been good this weekend except for today. I’ve been doing well in the new system we are using here at work. I make a few small mistakes here and there but so far, I am getting better at it. What I hate most about this system is once you mess up; you can’t really fix it so they keep telling me “go slow”. I don’t have the patience to type 1 word or number per minute. I check my work 5 times before moving on, but I put so much work into one task that it takes forever. Today hasn’t been so bad yet, but I’m expecting the worse later. I accidently deleted a whole order, which cannot be recovered. I’m going to have to let the guys in charge of the system know, and I’m nervous that they’re going to yell at me. I don’t think they will literally yell at me but I don’t want the drama so hopefully it’s an easy reversal on their part. It’s almost lunch time! I can’t wait for 3:30pm! I want to get out of here already! I’m going to go back to Cerritos mall to meet up with gretchline and she’s going to help me look sexy for my date tomorrow haha.
Windows 7 is here and I am going to get my hands on it later when I get home. I’m excited to use it even though it’s pretty much just an upgrade from windows vista. I am not looking forward to re-installing all the same software I am using now, but might as well do it now then later. Speaking of computers, I love to hear people talk about how amazing apple computers are and how superior they are to PCs. Don’t get me wrong, apple computers are sexy looking and if you have one, I’m not really looking to insult you unless you know nothing about computers and still say that they are better. I posted this post from some forum onto facebook why he likes PCs more, and a few of my friends who are Mac users got butt hurt. Now, you don’t see us PC users getting bent out of shape. What worse is that those Mac users don’t even use it for anything more than web browsing. The other day, a friend and mac user posted something about using a PC and saying that it didn’t come installed with the features her Mac had. Well, think about it. Why pay an extra $1,500 to have those programs? Why don’t you go online and install them yourself? I HATE when people say “you don’t get viruses”. WELL! You don’t get viruses because you can’t download anything for free anyways! I’d rather get viruses than pay money for software. If you have a good anti-virus program (which most people would probably pirate anyway), then you won’t get viruses. I haven’t gotten a virus in years. A PC for the same price as a macbook is superior. FACT. My brother is one of the only 2 Mac users I respect because he uses one for the sole purpose of computer 3d design. It is indeed better to use on for that than a PC, so he didn’t jump on a band wagon for it. The other one is a man by the name of Evan Chen, who uses it for computer programming, but uses both apple and PC products so he isn’t bias. I salute you both!
What else shall I talk about? Since I don’t have much time these days to do everything I want, I haven’t been to the theaters enough. I haven’t seen all the movies on my list but something I did watch was “500 days of summer”. I was excited to see it but I shouldn’t have been because sometimes I expect too much. I need to remember that it’s an indie flick, so it won’t be the greatest thing ever. It was good, and I wouldn’t really suggest it. It’s worth watching once, but I didn’t like the ending of it. I watched half of dragonball evolution… I am a movie critic so I have to watch it! Haha. It has some bad acting, lame costumes and terrible dialogue. That’s expected going into it, so it wasn’t so bad to handle. I will wait to finish it before I give a full review.
So today would be the first day I start my diet. So far, it’s good. I had yogurt and coffee this morning. Earlier this week, I ordered these pills which supposedly clean up the residue left inside your colon, and I read that your body is left with so much of it that it adds a few inches to your waist and a few pounds as well. I got it yesterday so today was a perfect day to start taking it. If it works, I should see some results soon! I also ordered some other pills that should reduce how much I need to eat to a minimum. If I’m hungry, I won’t stuff my face till I’m completely full and aching. I’m sure the co-workers will pick up something delicious for lunch so I’ll have to try and eat just enough to be satisfied. I don’t like to take home food so I try to eat it all when I get it, so hopefully that won’t happen today.
I haven’t skated once this month! It makes me sad how little time I have to do it and when the weekend comes, I don’t make time for it. I’m going to try and stuff it in on Friday afternoon. Friday will be a very busy day if I don’t get my errands done today, but I can’t get into detail about it right now. If everything goes right, I will have much to tell you next week! Anyways! I definitely want to learn some new tricks now.
For the past few weeks, I’ve been listening to less rock and more hip hop. It’s weird and I don’t understand why this is happening. When I listen to rock, I don’t get that same feeling, but I do still listen to it and still love it. The past 2 days though, I have been incorporating oldies into my iTunes playlist (yes, I use iTunes but that’s it! The iPod is too superior to not own). I’ve been listening to “rod stewart” and “the carpenters”. There are a lot of oldies I like that I don’t have on my computer, and a lot that I don’t even know the name of. Can you suggest some to me? I’d appreciate it!
Wow, this entry turned into an essay. I thought I wasn’t going to have anything to talk about but now I have too much! I feel like I’m torturing my readers with too much sometimes… (sorry toan and clara!) I’m done! Pat yourselves on the back and go write yourself an equally long entry.

It’s another super boring day at work again. Today is the first day we start using a new system, but it’s not completely up and running so I don’t expect much to be done today. It’s been about 6 hours that I’ve been working today, and I’m very tired. I was supposed to fix a computer for a co-worker over the weekend but I’ve been very busy. I went to las vegas on Friday morning and got back Saturday, just to end up partying it up at tricia’s house. I finally got home Sunday afternoon and ended up napping before going out for dinner with friends. I finally started fixing the computer when I got home but realized that I was going to have problems because I forgot that my own computer was having problems. On Thursday before, I tried to change settings to get the second monitor to work, and somehow changed them in a way that they won’t display at the correct settings so both monitors weren’t showing anything. I eventually got them to work and spend some of my morning finishing up the computer. I installed Microsoft office but Microsoft word wasn’t installed for some strange reason. In the end, I never did finish installing it so I will get that done tonight and return the computer tomorrow morning.
On Friday, some of us plan on going to a dog park. I hope to be taking Bear with me, Julienne will be taking Puff and Tricia will be taking Darla and Toffee with her. Hopefully they will get along well! Here is a picture of them so you can see what they look like.

This weekend is looking pretty busy right now. Wednesday, the nurses are going to Disneyland but because of my work schedule, I wont be able to go. If I do go, I will most likely only be there from 4:30pm to 7:30pm. I have an annual pass so I don’t mind going for such a short time. My pass was taken away but I will tell you about that after I finish this paragraph. Thursday, the nurses are going to a bar in OC to celebrate my friend glenny’s birthday as well as Carlo’s (Maybe). Friday is the dog park thing and Saturday, I’ll probably be with the wolfpac (Justin, Brandon and Daryl) hanging out for the first time at justin’s new place in Santa Monica. We’re probably gonna get smashed and play video games for a ridiculous amount of time. Aika’s birthday is on Sunday but she hasn’t decided what day she wanted to celebrate that.
Last week, muy and dave went to Disneyland and I let dave take my pass with me so he could try to get in but unfortunately, they didn’t let him in and took my pass away. I’ll have to go there today to pick it up once they call me back and let me know that I can get it.
Within a month or two, I plan on getting my first tattoo, either on my left forearm or on the inside of my right arm. What better time to get one then when I have money! I’m pretty nervous but I tend to think things will be worse than they really are, so hopefully I wont be disappointed at the results.
Another random thing I have been thinking about is my computer setup. I have a lovely desktop at home with 2 monitors, and work has given me a nice laptop with docking station. I am considering getting rid of my desktop and use this laptop at home and work. Should I just use both? I’m leaning towards that incase I get fired and have to give the laptop back haha. If I keep both, ill be using too much electricity at home and that isn’t good for the world. Maybe ill keep both and just use the laptop at work unless I need to take it somewhere. Sounds like a plan?
The other day, my mom brought up how she finally found the 52” hdtv that she wants to put in the living room. Note that we already have a 46” hdtv in the living room, so if my mom buys this, then they are going to put the 46” in my room. Damn, if that happens any time soon, I’m going to be spending more time in my room watching movies with the lady and playing video games with the fellas all weekend haha.
This past weekend was pretty epic. I’m not going to get into too much detail about it though. Thursday, Muy had a BBQ at her house. We ate, got fat, and went home happy. On Friday, the nurses and I went to las vegas. we walked the strip and got into a bar. It’s epic because there was 5 of us, and 2 of them aren’t 21 so they used one of the other girls’ IDs. Its funny because my friend Julienne, who was with us, has 2 spare IDs so Aika and Tricia both used these and got in. Of course, they entered the bar separately and there was 2 entrances but id say that it’s a pretty sweet victory. Saturday, we got back late afternoon and partied at tricia’s that night, where I got smashed as usual. Got home Sunday afternoon and took a nap. Later, I went to dinner with Brandon, Daryl, Linh, Brandon and Carla. I didn’t mind having to go to work this week because I need to take a break from all this action on the weekend.
The love life is still going good. I’ve got nothing to complain about here! I’m not going to get into it though because I don’t want to make this entry all cheesy and stuff.
I am getting fatter than usual, so I plan on going out and working out more. Maybe I’ll play some tennis, skating a lot more, and eat a lot less. I need to cut back on beer and drink hard alcohol because it’s less quantity and therefore, less calories haha. Tricia weighs half of me, and my goal is to weigh less than her! Jk jk but I’d like to get to a thinner size at the least!
Gonna go back to work. Enjoy!

i previously mentioned reading some creepy stories on a website called "creepy pasta", and this one particular story was very interesting to me so i decided to post it on here. give it a read, because it's good but only made me nervous while i was reading it. after, i was able to gain my composure and continue on with my day. enjoy!
It wasn’t a big deal at first, you know? It was just another story online, one you’d read in the comments of a YouTube video, designed to scaring you into posting it on eight other videos. You know the kind, where you die a horrible death or your crush will reject you if you don’t spread the word? I didn’t think anything of it at the time, but now it’s the only thing I can think about.
The comment started by saying that “she hasn’t left [the poster] alone in days” and “by reading this, she’ll come for you.” I don’t even remember the exact wording because it was late and I was tired and I’d seen a hundred other comments like it before.
I forgot all about it.
Until she started coming after me.
It started with little things. A flash in the corner of my vision, a strange shadow on the hallway floor. Then it got worse. I started to hear whispering when I was alone in the house, giggling, the sound of footsteps. I now know that she was teasing me. Sort of like how a cat will clamp its paw over a mouse’s tail and bat at it before it kills it.
Mirrors were the worst. She liked to stand just out of frame when I was brushing my hair, so when I shifted my head to get the other side, she would be there, standing next to the bookshelf, with her long, tangled hair, matted with blood, falling down her shoulders. And that grin.
Oh, God, that grin.
Her teeth were always bloody. I was never sure if it was her blood, or… I don’t even know.
Every night it seemed to get worse. I would see her on my way to class, in the rear view mirror of my car, dragging her talon-like fingernails across her own, rotting flesh as I stared in abject terror.
For a while I put it off to sleep deprivation. Finals, you know?
And then she came to me.
It was late, so late it was technically early. I couldn’t sleep because all I could hear was her giggling. I covered my face with the pillow and shut my eyes tight, when I felt something cold on my hand.
I was paralyzed with fear. It was sharp and it was cold and it was moving down my arm towards my elbow.
“Come out to play,” she said in that lilting, upsetting voice I’d heard one too many times before.
I screamed and sat up but she was gone. For the moment.
My biggest mistake was when I talked to her. I’d just stepped out of the shower and she was right there when I opened the curtains. I shrieked and stumbled back and she leaned down to me.
“Why?” I asked. “Why are you doing this?”
She told me why. It was because I knew something about her. That altercation ended with a serious head injury that landed me in the hospital.
That’s where I am now.
I can’t take this anymore. I’m just one person, it’s too much. I know what I have to do. I think I always knew.
God, I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry.
Her name is Nora. She should be there soon.

another boring day at work. yesterday was a nice change because it was ridiculously busy and i didn't even have time to sit and take a breath. today is the opposite. i'm sitting here in the front office ready to get some work done but i think betty (my trainer) is in the back office fixing some errors i probably put in the system yesterday afternoon. anyways! i finally went to disneyland with tricia. we went sunday, and it was pretty much a last minute thing for me. we were planning to go friday but that didn't happen. i bought an annual pass for a year and it was almost $200 bucks but that's okay. the old me would have never done such a thing but now that i can afford it and it's a way to spend more time with her, it's worth every cent. it was extremely hot there that day but fortunately, the AC was very strong on the rides. we went on tower of terror, indiana jones, the haunted mansion, buzz lightyear, a bug's life in 3d, pirates of the caribbean, and time went by really fast. it was a sunday so i had to be home early to sleep but we were pretty tired from all the walking. overall, it was a pretty great day and i didn't mind starting another work week after that. i don't really know what else to talk about right now so let's just leave it at that, but i'm sure after this weekend or the next 2 weekends, i will have much more to tell you. now, someone text me because i'm bored! haha.

another long work week... here we go!

[13 Aug 2009|07:12am] |
it has been a while since i've updated, but not too long ago. i'm glad i don't get too lazy to stop by here, even though there are fewer people still signing in. are the days of blogging over? or did everyone just move to wordpress or somewhere that i'm not catching on to? there is probably a new trend going on, but i am nowhere to be found. oh well, i really like livejournal and i love the style and look of it. i feel like i have complete freedom to do what i want with my page, and i will be here for more years to come. i can tell this is going to be a long entry, especially because it's 7:16am and i finished my work for now. i didn't really start my daily work, but ended up catching up on work i should've finished yesterday. i'll probably get more work when i'm done here. so! let's get into it...
my life has been going pretty good so far. usually i would have something to complain about but nope, nothing here. i wish i was moving further into my college degree but i'm not. i haven't signed up for fall and i'm not going to. i don't know why, and i hope to god that i don't end up quitting. i'm going back in the spring for sure! pcc actually offers a winter session that fits snugly between the fall and spring. maybe i will look into that, but most likely not because the classes end up being monday to friday, all day. if anything, i can fit one online class. my dad constantly comments about how college graduates aren't able to find work, which makes me want to cling to my current job here at barton brands inc. i don't know how i will balance school during the spring, but i have to for my future's sake.
before everything started to run smoothly in my life, it was really dramatic. i was having problems for a little over a week, and i know it's not that long but it was stressful. there were problems left and right, and i didn't want to talk to it so it was all bottled up inside. i ended up picking up smoking. i've smoked before a few times, and it was always when i wasn't sober. for that week, i smoked a lot of cigarettes just to calm my nerves. today is tuesday, and i haven't smoked since sunday. i might smoke today just because, but it looks like things are getting back to normal.
my love life has been going well for the past 4 months. usually, i wouldn't even bother to talk about this but she doesn't have a livejournal account, and even if she did, it's not like i would have anything bad to say about it anyway. lately, we haven't been able to talk so much because i have work in the morning all to the afternoon, and before i get out of work, she has to go to clinicals till 11pm, and half the time, i am already asleep by then. her schedule has only recently changed to this, so i don't know whether its bound to shift again. when i'm at work, we text each other all day which is nice. things are moving at a slow but nice pace. we're still just dating and it'll probably be for a few more months but i've grown a custom to it. she's taking me to watch harry potter and the half-blood prince tomorrow! i'm pretty excited to see her and watch the movie as well. she already watched it, so i'll be the only one surprised but that's alright too. she's a big fan (of the books), so i won't feel like such a nerd when the opening credits play and the adrenaline starts flowing through my veins. what's next for us? we're going to go to disneyland next friday and vegas (which is a maybe for her right now) the following friday with the nurses at the end of the month.
there are two more months until my birthday! there are too many birthdays before mine to even think about what i'd want to do. even though i'm pretty much working full time, these past 2 months have been very expensive for me. one option is to not have anything at all... no party, no dinner, no spending at all. i can't expect everyone to spend a lot on my day. we are in a recession and this isn't the time to be spending too much. a second option is vegas. now, there a few reasons why this has a slight chance of happening. one being the obvious, which is the price of the rooms. second, i'm a simple, boring person. i don't like to walk around (it'll probably be colder so i might not mind the weather, which is the main reason i hate walking over there) and i don't like to club (kinda). i feel like if we went, i wouldn't have anything planned besides swimming and sitting around in the room getting smashed. we'll see though, because lately, i don't mind clubbing too much. i've never been to vegas for my birthday, so it's always something i look forward to in the future. a third option is dinner, most likely in old town pasadena. it's nice there, everyone can dress up, and we can all eat together. it's somewhat pricey but doesn't compare to what we would spend in vegas. anyway, i have too much time to think about it so i'll plan it out when it's atleast the beginning of october.
yesterday morning, i was killing time on a forum i usually visit to read random things, and i came upon this post called "scary stories" so i went in and read some. some were really creepy, and some were a bit stupid. i really enjoy scaries stories though they freak me out. i was telling my friend zed about it and he told me to visit a website called creepypasta.com and you should open the link atleast haha. there are some creepy stories, and they are so convincing that i believe them. you don't have to read it, but just look at the website. that one girl under the death section reminds me of megan fox. anyway, for those who like to read that stuff, i strongly suggest that website!
wow, long entry like i said! i need to do a movie review soon, but damn, i get super lazy when i get home from work. everyday, i lay down and then pass out for a bit. that's usually my monday through wednesday routine. today is thursday aka party day, so when i get out, don't expect me to be home and online haha. alright, that's it for now. stay classy, san diego!

i notice that i add more stuff to a video than the actual footage i film. this is a perfect example of a video with 10 seconds of action and the other minute being film footage haha. it's nice to see that i am putting up more videos for you guys to enjoy, but i plan on writing entries too! i have the time for that here at work, so i'll get started on that as well. it's been too long since i've had an update or even a movie review, and yes, i've been watching movies still.

now is the time where i start to update this more often now that i have time. you'd think i'd have less time do update this, but no... i just started work last week and so far, i've had some free time on my hands in my office. as a matter of fact, i'm typing this up at my office because i have nothing to do haha. i also just got my first paycheck a few hours, but it's only for the 2 days i worked last week and nothing for this week. now i see how they do things. next week's paycheck is going to be amazing. anyway, it's almost lunchtime so i need to go up to the main office because my co-workers and i are going to decide what food to pick up for lunch. so far, the choices are chinese food or fish, as in catfish. i can't imagine what that's going to be like but i don't care because i'm super hungry. alright! good update haha. i'll write longer entries when i'm at one. work is for short entries where i have nothing else to do.

i noticed that whenever i change the look of this journal, i start to update more. i just really like the colors right now, though it was similar to the grey on grey look i had a while back. i haven't really been up for writing here for the past few months, but a lot of things have been going on.
you know who has a good journal! miss clara-lisa nguyen! she updates very often and keeps it up, includes pictures, and talks about her life. i don't talk about my life anymore because i feel like my friend's pretty much see the photos on youtube, but then again, i don't know what clara is up to. it's always nice to read what's going on, and i figured, i should write about my days so whoever cares to read it can know a little more about what's going on with me.
so! this entry is dedicated to you! btw, today was the first time i actually went to your page instead of reading your entries through the friends like, and i must say, i like the colors. using a .gif as a background image was very clever!
