Chapter 9: Limited Participation
Fall 2001 - Spring 2002 Ted's Reign!
My education became the first priority in my life. I was taking my second major at state, and I surpassed my four years of post high school education. This fall semester was the beginning of the end for Akbayan, the start of my new education, and the quality of great friendships.
I've been living at e.W.o for four years and become very comfortable with my surroundings. I didn't really have much to participate in the house except for watching television and playing ice hockey.
Friendship Games 2001 was dull. The transportation to and fro were the interesting parts of the trip. I drove a fifteen seater with the most random and diverse group. Some of the passengers decided to smoke weed while we were on highway 5. Oh well, I didn't smell it in the van when I returned it. On our way, we stopped in Casa de Fruta, off of 152. When we were about to leave, we discover that a wife cheated on her husband. The affair met out there at their location and the husband found them. We watched the drama turn into a violent blood bath. Just kidding. The husband swung a few punches at the guy, while the wife yelled at both of the men. The two males ended up on the ground. My passengers and I just laughed and video taped the whole incident. Hilarious! Remember that Paulo!
On the way home from the Promenade in Santa Monica, after we all finished eating at Hooter's, with the ugly waitress that overcharged our bill and discovering that Tera Patrick was there too, Mark's suburban broke down a few exits after we got on the freeway. The time was about 6 o'clock. All the cars with us, minus three, followed Mark to his cousin's house in Los Angeles. Finally, the caravan began their trip home at 10 o'clock in the evening. We arrived in San Jose about 4am, tired as a mutha!
Filipino Heritage Day happened the week before friendship games. I didn't participate, I just watched.
My winter formal date that year was whack. Enough about that, I had more fun when she left with Ted's ex. (covering mouth) haha. sorry Ted. Had to say it.
