I don’t think I really need to go into great detail of how my Texas trip went. I ate, drank, danced, drank some more and hung out with my favorite people. After experiencing a chill weekend in Austin, Texas… I want to move out to Texas even more. I swear, I’ve wanted to ever since the first time I’ve been there. That was nearly 10 years ago.

I’m pretty lazy anyway lol. But before I left, I hung out with MG & the boys on Wednesday at RA.

When I got back, I got to hang out with Grace on Wednesday night for dinner. Girl, I freaking love you. <3

It’s Labor Day weekend… and I’m going to a Korean concert, SMTown. This should be interesting. My outfit’s cute! LOL. I’ll post pictures when I can.

…and to top it off. I’m sick. Teehee.

My weekend pretty much started early on Thursday the 19th. After work, Steven and I went to The Loft in North Torrance. A girl who went to the same high school was our waitress. I felt bad for her. Steven and I were laughing loud and giving her a hard time. But it was all in good fun. I ended up getting the Mahi Mahi and it was pretty good. The Saimin was actually pretty good. Kind of salty though. After, we headed to Menchie’s frozen yogurt. I got the red velvet & cake batter yogurt and threw in some cheesecake. I’m so cheating, but may as well enjoy my handicap a little.

Friday, August 20th — Steven and I went to Lee’s Tofu House after I got off work. I got the dumpling soondubu. We ended up cruising around and ended up at Old Navy. I bought a few things for the both of us. Steven got a new compact camera so we were going through the beach cities taking pictures and whatnot. It was a nice Friday night. Rafa hit me up to go out and he wanted to stay local. This fool was giving me places to go like in Hollywood or Anaheim. DUDE. I can barely walk around a mall, what more a bar/club? Crazy. But I lub my BBFF.

Saturday, August 21st — I went to Dan’s house and we had breakfast. After, we just laid in bed for a while until I had to go to my day spa appointment. I really need a spa buddy! GRACE! I will harass you sometime next month about this LOL. We ended up walking around Downtown Glendora and checking out the boutiques and stuff. We went back home, had lunch and I think I fell asleep. I don’t remember. In the evening, we went to the Arcadia mall and I did some light shopping at Victoria’s Secret and Wet Seal for my trip. Later that night, we went around the city and ended up at the 50s  Diner, Legends. I had a bacon/mushroom cheeseburger. It was so good. I’m gaining weight since I can’t work out. I’ve been cutting back for the past 3 weeks, but this weekend was just FOOD GALORE. We went back to his house and watched Surrogates. We hung out and we got ready for bed.

Sunday, August 22nd — We woke up early and started to get ready for a day in Santa Barbara. Little did we know that the trip was canceled! So Dan and I went back to bed. When we finally got up, he made us a bacon, chorizo with egg and toast. SO yummy. We just hung out and watched tv. Around 12pm, we got ready to go the the California Science Center for the Mummies of the World Exhibit. I had a lot of trouble walking around :[ At least I didn’t hurt myself again! I wish Lucy and Paco went. This exhibit is over by Labor Day and I’ll be gone this weekend so I kind of had to go this weekend. It was cool. I want to be mummified. After that, we went to BJ’s for dinner. Went home and just chilled. It was a nice long weekend.

This is the first time I spent the weekend with Dan. It was nice. Now, I can’t wait for this coming weekend. Austin, Texas… get ready!

There is nothing we like to see so much as the gleam of pleasure in a person’s eye when he feels that we have sympathized with him, understood him. At these moments something fine and spiritual passes between two friends. These are the moments worth living.

We must reach out our hand in friendship and dignity both to those who would befriend us and those who would be our enemy.

Grace, I’m glad you understand me :] Who would have thought? LOL <3

I had one of the best weekends in a long time.

Friday, August 13th — I had a very long day. I woke up super early for work in my smell splint and took forever to get ready for work. I got frustrated with the crutches so I was limping all day at work. Maybe not the best idea. After work, my brother took me to Kaiser so I could see the orthopedic doctor. They removed my splint and I have never seen so many bruises on my leg. If I wasn’t in the splint, I wouldn’t have any bruises at all! After an hour at the hospital, Steven and I went to Spoon House where we coincidentally bumped into John. We hung out, came back to the house. I was working/tutoring for a couple hours. After she left, Steven, John and I went to Tea Station and got some boba. We hung out outside for a bit and went our own ways. I felt bad because I really wanted to hang out with my friends at CJ’s, but that night ended up being a night I needed after all the physical and mental stress I’ve been under.

Saturday, August 14th — I woke up early, and I don’t really know why. Just habit I suppose. Steven, John and I had plans to go to Little Tokyo so Steven could try the Orochon challenge! He ended up getting the Extreme, not the Special #2, and he was sweating profusely. It was awesome. The people around us were trying too and we were so loud! It was so much fun. After, we headed back to Gardena and headed to Redondo Beach to get some frozen yogurt at Menchie’s. That place is WAY better than Skinny Minny’s, Yogurtland, and Pinkberry. OMG. Yum. We went our separate ways and I went home to take a nap. I was wearing my boot all day, and that really drains the energy out of you! Around 6, Steven and I went to the Galleria to go shopping. He’s losing a lot of weight, and I’m jealous. I lost 4 lb this week though from barely eating! We hung out and went to Valentino’s Pizza for dinner. Hung out out home, and KO by 11pm.

Sunday, August 15th — Dan came over around 10:30am and we headed out to the Original House of Pancakes for breakfast. He got the Eggs Benedict and I got my chocolate chip pancakes. YUMMIE. I devoured it all. We drove around the beach cities and ended up at my old job to find pants that I can wear with my boot. After, we went back to my house and watched Date Night, and Kick Ass. It was nice :]

Yesterday, I drove home from work with less pain. I just need to stretch my ankle before doing anything. I ended up bumming it at home and started Season 1 of One Tree Hill. I need to go get the 7th season soon. It comes out today! I pretty much spent yesterday rehabilitating my ankle, watching tv… and at night, I ended up talking to a good friend.

I’m excited for next week! I’m going to Texas! I need a break from LA anyway. Hopefully, my ankle will be better so I can at least walk at a normal pace. LOL.

After talking with my cousin today, I need to focus on what I should do for myself. Thanks, cuhh, for slapping me with reality once again.

“I am used to this, being the one not chosen. It’s not that I’m not pretty in my own way. I’m just not notable.”

One of these days, I’m going to take a good look at everyone — when I decide to walk away, they’re the ones who are going to be hurt.

It’s been rather an eventful few weeks.

To highlight on the positive:

Saturday, July 31st — went to the Azusa Canyons. Dan, David and I went hiking for about 4 hours. When we got to their usual spot, we jumped in the FREEZING water hole. I’ve never enjoyed swimming and drinking pretty clean water at the same time! LOL. After a quick dip in the water hole (because the boys can’t hang ;] ) we ate our tuna lunch! om nom nom. We ended up going home and settling down by 4:30pm-ish. After that, we just rested.

This past weekend, I’ve spent it with Dan — Saturday, Sunday AND Monday. On Saturday we just hung out at his house. It was the perfect lazy day. Sunday, Lucy and Paco came over so we could head out to the California Science Center for the Mummies of the World Exhibit. After finding our seats for the movie, Dan and I went to go to the restroom. And… I slipped and rolled my ankle. I sprained it so bad, I went to the ER :[  Dan took care of me when we got home. Lucy came to visit me after her date with Paco. Yesterday, Dan came over to take care of me since no one was home at everyone was at work. He took me out to lunch to King’s Hawaiian and damn, crutches suck. LOL.

So, nothing exciting.
