My goodness, I thought I forgot my username and password for this thing
So the night of hanging out with the homies and bebeh hit off with the bestest. I enjoyed seeing everyone and hanging out with the usuals, as usual. Drinking with the people who I thought I would never drink with - Irene. I had a feeling she had low-tolerance. If you haven't seen, check out bebeh's domain, aivy-bear, and you'll see some of the pictures that we took. So, as some of you may know already, Aivy and I share a eight hundred square foot studio in San Francisco, off of California St. It is dope. She was so surprised when Edison and I brought her along, pretending to look for an ice cream shop. Even though it was about three days before our big ONE, I couldn't keep it inside me no more. Mainly because, if I kept the secret from her for the next three days, then she would get madder and madder at me, and you never know what may happen. Well, anyway, we checked it out, and its been over a week at that place...
So, I finally slept there alone, last night, and it wasn't as bad as the first night there. A majority of my belongings are there, including my PS2. If my console wasn't there, I'd die. No internet, no common phone line, no cable, no nothing. Just regular television, thank goodness for UPN, and Playstation 2 keep me busy. It is like living in San Jose again, except there's no one else there. I share the house with six other residents, but I see them walking in and out of the upstairs places...
I'm excited to see what happens with place when the carpet is in, I have a laptop, internet connection, and digital cable. Aivy and I will survive...
COME VISIT US!
note: having a heater helps a lot during the winter. Brrr!

One year ago...
The greatest part about relationships is the element of anticipation. You never know what's going to come up next. Especially when one whole year has passed by and you never saw it coming. Actually, every single day I saw what hope can bring to two people. It is the greatest feeling when everyday for nearly a whole year is like the first day you get together. So, in short, Happy 1 Year Anniversay to Aivy and Joey. I love you Aivy.
note: Never give up. The struggle, pain and happiness is worth everything when this figment of love is involved.

"I want a box of Cargo Cosmetics."
The gifts that I've purchased for this year's Christmas celebration has been put into much thought. I wasn't sure what to get some people, so I decided to do what I usually don't do, which is split with the brothers. Getting a great gift from three son's is better than three casual gifts, I guess. I don't know though. I enjoy getting multiple gifts than one big one, unless it's a laptop, desktop computer, xbox with helka games, or a brand new truck. I don't know. What the hell, beggars can't be chosers, so I say that whatever you get for Chrismakkuh(The OC), take it into sentiment and be glad for the season of giving, not getting.
Johnny Depp has always been one of my favorite actors in the business. Let's name some: Edward Scirrorhands, Benny and Joon, Crybaby, and Blow. All great movies. I want to collect all his movies on dvd. That'll be my THING for 2004. Along with building my PS2 games collection. I now own NHL2002, 2003, 2004, Socom 1 & 2, Kingdom Hearts, Enter the Matrix, Dark Cloud, and Rygar. Wow, a whopping NINE games. I want to own Final Fantasy X just for the heck of it. In the near future, I'll own The Sims 2, Final Fantasy X-2, Castlevania - Lament of Innocence, Fatal Frame 2, and The Simpson's - Hit 'n Run. Until anything worth purchasing comes out, I'll just be playing whatever I have. Games are fun, but being a Gamer is much better. I've achieved the Glow many times for many, many games. Legend of Zelda Series(minus Link's Awakening), including Ocarina of Time, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Castlevania 1 & 2, Mega Man 1-3, Kid Icarus, Mario Kart 64, Super Mario Bros. 2 & 3, Mario World, etc. Beating games is worth the time playing. I also beat Metal Gear Solid 2 in four hours. I beat Halo in 7 hours. Max Payne in 4 hours. Legend of Zelda 3 in 4 hours. I love video games. Metroid Prime would have been quick, but I didn't own the game console.
note: helka (adv.) 1. great number of. 2. extremely or very much of. The San Jose Sharks game was helka fun to watch. latin: akleh.

I love my Bubu's
I'm glad a majority of you people's are happy with the outcome of the Tri-Formal. And Alexis, everything seemed to fall into place that really needed to. I'm pretty sure this will be the last possible time this type of event may happen...possibly. It was good to see everyone again, as usual. I got to the Convention Center about nine o'clock and couldn't find any open parking lots, so I parked, along with RJ and Tawny, in the outside, back parking lot near the outside skating rink. The walk around to the Hilton entrance was the longest, we should've taken the Marriott entrance since it was right there. Oh well.
The first person that acknowledged my presence when I walked to the big darkish room was Ted's "Joey!!!" The strange thing was the position of his seat on his table, his back should've faced me when he saw me. Once again, Oh well.
The evening went well and the fact that my date and I were missing for a good amount of the time after dinner was completely fair to say that, we DO what all couples do when we're dressed up. We...TOOK PICTURES. Get your minds out of the gutters and walk into the porn store already.
This formal reminded me of last year's, besides the fact that my date was there first, instead of me being there already and she coming later on. Along with the whole universe where everything is perfect, we had the most memorable night that as couple approaching one year could get. Love is amazing.
note: my notes should be more meaningful. no they shouldn't!

Zzzzzzz
I'm always tired. I'm sleepy when I wake up. I'm exhausted when I get home from work. I neglect my bebeh when I'm with her because I'm tired. Work takes a lot out of me. Thinking takes a lot out of me. It's incredible how much brain wave activity can make your body worthless of energy. When studying, the inner brain cornea takes pleasure in using that flow of blood to rush your whole body into becoming useless. Playing video games is tedious too. I'm just always tired.
Almost a year.
Listening to Oscar G. & Ralph Falcon - Dark Beat
The formal will be fun. The night will be like a reunion for me with my Akbayan people's and such.
Last Thursday, December 4th, 2003, was the first Sushi Night, where Aivy, Edison, and myself introduce the evening with Sushi tasting at a random San Francisco Japanese Restaurant. The weekly chosen venue was Nagano's, Geary and Arguello. Edison ordered the Nigiri combo platter, which consisted of twelve sushi that he can savor, yet shared a la carte with the other tasters. Aivy and I ordered the Philly Roll, Nagano Maki, Oregon Roll, and Spider Roll. Each had it's expertise in tasteful pleasures AND oh so delicious spices. We filled our dipping plates with wasabi and soy sauce and preceded. I enjoyed the sushi. The Oregon could have been better, but out of the four, not my favorite. The Philly roll didn't much please my tastebuds, but I wasn't dissatisfied. Spider Roll was different for me, somewhat, but I had no comment. The specialty plate, Nagano Maki, was very worth the cost. I can still taste the sushi in my stomach. The presentation wasn't the dull, plate and sushi deal. The cook took his time to make the plate decorative. The time put into a dish is always worth a plus. Overall, out of 10, I rate Nagano Sushi an 8.
note: You can get full off of Sushi only!

Proud & Pride
As the lights fade, everyone begins to slowly exit the stage. Jino stays on facing the audience.
JINO
"My verdict does not surprise me. Pulling strings, shortcuts by means of bribary, blackmail, threats. Guess what, that’s the lifestyle sometimes. Let me make my message clearer. Ninang once told me that such responsibility benefits great rewards…and superiority. She was never the type of person to backstab a friend or any type of business. Her way of the trade is now my way. I’ve seen the advantages, and dealt with the disadvantages. You can trust every single person that comes into your life. My grasp, my direction, my on-going success to the top will ascend. Others will not dare claw at my feet. They shall not pull me into that unfortunate lifestyle. Once at the top, I will help others out of the bucket, expanding this family, the Rosario family. (pause) One by one, my power, my loyal guards will see me as their uncle…their Don…their Ninong."
For some reason, this final monologue inspires myself. I don't know how it makes others feel, but with the right motivation, the attitude, the actions, it is what it is.
