"i'm always pretty happy when i'm just kicking back with you"

the day before thanksgiving, two of my cousins came into town. i took them to see twilight (my second time) and than i took them to the record shop. i bought 3 vinyls. im glad they came to visit. i made them cds :) i saw janae after. miss that that girl. i need to make her some goodies.

thanksgiving: "feed the hungry, and help those in need" -isaiah 58:10
it turned out nice. i went to the visalia rescue mission to serve thanksgiving to the homeless. i was there for just over an hour. and im very glad i went. we had it at talina's, karen's friends house. my dad came later when we woke up. and it was good until it got a little awkward at around 8'o clock. it got a little uncomfortable, but luckily talina's ex came by and brought his guitar and sang songs. it was awesome.

now i need to continue working on my paper for lifespan and my take home test for psych since i decided to not go out of town after all, so since the family is out of town i need to utilize my quiet time.

christmas is a brewin'

adolescent interview

in my lifespan class i have to do an adolescent interview (13-16) and i did it on my cousin madasen. it took longer than i expected, but it took as long as she said it would. it went on for around 1-1 1/2 hours.
i'll need to start on that.
i need to work on my personal essay for english.
and i need to work on my take home test for psych.

the lion and the lamb

i saw twilight today it was good. im planning to see it again.

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb."
"What a stupid lamb."
"What a sick masochistic lion."

i'm kinda disapointed.

i'm kinda disapointed because i was looking at my planner and trying to plan out all the things i'll be doing over my winter break.

i wanted to go to la for a week. i havent been there since june. and i miss it. a lot. plus family is gunna be there. ana, helen and mark are gunna be in town from chicago also.

but it turns out that i'd most likely NOT gunna happen.

cuz i have to babysit on jan 3 and jan 5 is my dads birthday and i also have to babysit on jan 8.

i cant go before that because theres finals,

than its:

-salazar christmas party.

-than christmas.

-than vegas to see jacquelyn before she leaves to hong kong a semester abroad.

-than back before new years.

i wont have enough time to visit la

so i might go on the 15th or 16th cuz the 19th theres no school.

...i really miss helen and ana.

and i really miss la.

and i really miss jessica.

and i really miss gafas.

and i really miss my 祖母

and i havent seen my mom in forev.

and now for some GOOD NEWS:

yesterday i found an old mixed tape i made a few years ago.

each of the sides have their own title-

side A: maybe we're meant for eachother

side B: even when you're not working you still know how to work it!

suprisingly, im still digging it.

i love la.

i found this on youtube...
my favorite rilo kiley song :)



and i just love this song cuz its awesome...



today i was really into the book i just checked out from the library, but i had to turn it in eventhough i checked it out on monday...

so i'll get back into the book i already own: THE ROAD

today is tuesday.

-SUN + MOON-
You're the sun
And I am the moon.
You refuse to do anything but shine.
I feed off your glow
But I let the stars shine too.
We're a team
Of seperate togetherness.
You're too far to understand
What goes on at my core.
We're too far apart
For you to understand my heart.

today i looked at some old video footage. i was looking through some stuff i filmed when i went to JAPAN and when i was making a birthday video card for my highschool friend marina.
man, that footage really made me laugh. let the good times roll. (pun intended)
