JUNE
16th: finished my last final at 4pm and summer begins. went home after the longest week at school.
17th: had a party for my grandparent's 63rd wedding anniversary. they're getting old, so are their grandchildren. i bbqd for about 3 hours. tip: turn up the heat to high, bbq (on stick) will be cooked inside, and will take 50-70% less time to cook.
18th: went to church in brea. ...don't really recall the rest of the day, except that it was father's day. oh yeah, went to angelo's house and chilled for a bit. watched
the fast and the furious: tokyo drift. not as bad as i expected, the plot wasn't about chasing bad guys, but rather about actually racing and drifting. went to dinner @ banana bay with paola, careen, sherwin, sonya, heather, helentina, and julia. met up with preston later @ genki living by life plaza. so azn.
19th: slept 'til about noon, then hanged out with preston. ate at the loft hawaii off warner & beach. island style fried chicken is alright there...hawaiian food is expensive-o and kind of a one-trick pony. went fishin' later with jesse. met up with chris tran @ autobacs to buy some JDM whores & air fresheners.
20th: went to riverside in the morning to check up on the house. totally disgusting fact: jesse and kane left their dishes in the sink after leaving the house on the prior thursday. at least they cleaned up a bit before leaving; a first for them. came back home and ordered new tires. went to angelo's graduation @ 6pm. amazing, he will be in college in the fall @ UCLA: University of Cypress on Lincoln Avenue. ate at ten-ten chinese restaurant which was packed full of people that just graduated. chinese fob waitresses and waiters became overwhelmed, and a few got aggravated.

21st: woke up and waited for air condition repairman to come by. dad came back, too, and paid the dude. he says that air conditioning industry is pretty high paying if you work for a company and for yourself. pretty much stayed home 'til i had to take jaclyn to her harp lesson. came back home and washed my car. later went to borders, then home town buffet with my parents for dinner. varieties of bad tasting food at a decent price is what i think. discussed with jaclyn what she wanted to do in college and future.
22nd: went to riverside again to check on house and get an estimate on trimming some trees. apparently one of the trees in the backyard caused $700 worth of damage to my neighbor's pool, so hoping that trimming the trees will help. cleaned out the sink. cleaning up after yourself isn't bad or time consuming, why is it so hard for my roommates to do it then ? came back home and had a dilemma: buy costco pizza, or new y-split audio cable ? can't have both with only $20 budget. food > audio cable. costco pizza can't be beat. later went to the beach to try and get some skimboarding done; only skimboarded for about 2 seconds because i had to meet up with james. ended up chillin' @ main street looking at various wares. got asked if i actually was in new york in august '04. went home and played sega genesis.
23rd: woke up at 11am to the sound of computer keyboard keys clicking. so annoying. didn't do much until james and alex came over. chilled for a bit, contemplating swimming. it got cloudy when james and alex came over, so no go. went to the alberto's on chapman (that replaced rigoberto's) which opened today. cali burrito + guac + tapatio = satisfied. watched a couple movies with my cousins and sister.

24th: chilled at home for a bit. went to lunch with my dad and paid some bills at circuit city. got an update on my tires coming in. later went to the mall with dad and jaclyn so she could get a haircut. looked at some true religions and wondered if the quality is worth the price. chris has a few pairs and they hold up to skating, which is pretty cool. hanged out with a few friends later and had a good time. time to be morose at home.
25th: went to church in the morning. had lunch @ maggiano's @ costa mesa with my family. i don't know why, but whenever i'm with them i'm always a grouchy ass grouch. maybe it's 'cause i was hungry and we had to drive from home to costa mesa, or the fact that we were going to south coast plaza and were going to be there for a bit, the sweltering heat, or a combination of the three. i got to cop a couple of dope ass shirts for $30. pretty fresh i must say. my sister is jealous of my finds. later learned that my parents would be going to riverside to check up and clean up the house again. trimmed the front yard and stuff. it's a jungle out there. kicked back and chilled with my roomies and a few SOPi girls one more time. went to my new mexican food spot with preston @ 430am this morning and ate half of my burrito. so i took it home, only to find out when i woke up later that it was eaten
((
26th: came back home after staying in riverside. got my tires (finally). back to 17s. they're sized 225/45/17...people with mazdaspeeds said that this size wouldn't rub (10mm larger over stock), and guess what i found out later ? they rub. gay. after this, i went back to riverside after getting a check from my dad.
27th: spent the day pretty much doing nothing @ riverside. the tree trimmer came and trimmed some trees and cut a couple down. then after that i went back home to fullerton. later i went to L&L hawaiian bbq in cerritos @ south & gridley. met with angelo and his friend stacy. we chilled for a bit, then angelo dropped her off and we went to my cousins' house. we played with my niece Emily Camille aka EmCee hahaha. she's never played with me so much. ahha so cute. later met up with preston and
jessekim to chill. later met up with paola, sherwin and preston again to hookah @ dream cafe.

28th: my sister woke me up and we went to my mom's clinic for a half day. we had to do the little front desk stuff you would do at a clinic. lame. it was hot as hell. after finishing up at 2, we went to my grandma's house and brought my grandparents food. after this, went to diamond bar to drop jaclyn off at her harp lesson. went home and swam for a bit. chilled until my parents came and we all went to watch superman returns. it was pretty dope, i liked it.
29th: here right now at the clinic doing more busy work at the front desk. so tired already. the cable guy came in the morning to install lines so that my sister and i can get cable in our rooms. interesting haha but now i need a good TV so i can actually watch shows in the right colors. ugh. james and chris came over and we chilled a bit. went to huntington to chill at chris's cousin's house. we were out there 'til about 1:30a. had a lil' in 'n' out then headed back home.
30th: woke up at 1:30p and had some lunch at home....that was getting pretty lame so i headed over to lakewood mall to hang out with angelo. after that went to michelle & sam's house again and played with emily. so cute. hahaha after that went to portillo's and hanged out with my cousin mark. i
WAS gonna go to a party with paola, careen and julia, but no...my parents get on my case again about not being home and how the house was messy. and my SISTER had to get picked up again. FUCK THIS SHIT. first of all, the house was not messy. my dad said he had to put bottles away. THERE WAS ONE FUCKING EMPTY BOTTLE OUT, YOU CALL THAT A MESS ? and everything else was exactly the same as it was the night before, why didn't you complain about it then ???? FUCK. and I GO OUT TOO MUCH ? I'M FUCKING NINETEEN, NOT THIRTEEN. i can fucking handle my own shit. yeah, i know, i have to be safe and all, but shit, it's not like i go out looking for fucking trouble. all i want is to hang out with my friends without having to be pestered by my parents or my sister. MY SISTER GOES OUT EVERY FUCKING DAY WITH MY COUSINS, AND SHE DOESN'T GET SHIT FOR THAT. my dad complains about my gas bill being too high, WELL DON'T MAKE ME HAVE TO DRIVE BACK AND FORTH TO RIVERSIDE EVERY FUCKING WEEKEND. it's fucking ridiculous. right now i want to fucking throw something out the window. all i want to do is hang out with some friends and have SOME good memories of summer. this shit fucking sucks.
