thank you for 2008.

wow. and so there it is. thursday. friday. saturday. don't forget sunday. no night will ever be as bad as that one night in santa monica. figures. shoot. dance all night thursday. get away with wearing contacts the next morning at work. success. movie hopping. best date. smuggling coffee bean and watching paris walk by. look for gp and i in the back of the paparazzi shots. :) no doubt there are two asian girls staring intently at the hilton sister.

more playing in hollywood. tragedy at mcdonalds. yummy calamari. even better sticky rice. we love udon. love the geisha house. don't forget about koi though. we learned to forever abandon promoter bojangles due to the anxiety and fear we had for our lives, our safety, and for our status as classy girls. [walk in] poke. hey. let me buy you a drink later. [um, no thanks.] um, gina, let's go to the bathroom.

blackberry time. nearest place to hit up. please. peace out hollywood. change in the car. no time to stop by the apt. can't do it tonight. you girls come back soon, k? we learned to fight the rhythm. we had to. booty, stop moving. not in the mood. no pun intended. head to venice. long line. ew. turn off, major. sweet! a parking spot. texas in all of her feminine intentions and innocence to the bouncer [um...is this the line?]...show me your IDs. and THAT is how it is done. dance on in ladies. have a great time.

always feel refuge in the asian crowd. weird, i know. right? timidness and shyness. unattractive. must be an asian thing. hmm..so...what's your phone number? can i call you sometime? um, we're dating. we like to dance with each other. only. walk away fast. very fast. move to the other side of the club. sit on a couch and take pictures. that never fails excitement! [so...that automatically makes me you're kuya (filipino big brother)?] um, yeah, basically. :) [wait, can i really call you?]...[like, really, really call you?] gina, let's go. game over!

every night seemed to be a success, and that equals enjoyment and satisfaction for the 2008 celebration weekend for these two visitors to LA. we got our drink and our two step. not to be mistaken for our two steps and our drink. oh, no, totally different!

[ i love rainy days and when i can hear the rain pouring outside. it is the weather that puts me in the best mood and that makes me feel most alive. quite countering it seems, but hey. what can ya do. depressing thoughts can no longer be present when rain comes pouring down. no time for that. not worth it and not productive. dwelling on thoughts of the past, not necessary. not important to put pressure on myself or give me more unnecessary weight on my mind, being, or on my heart. it was refreshing to walk with my friend nick back to my apt. winter dream tea in our hands, pleasant company and uplifting and true conversation is a beautiful reflection of the moving of the spirit. a reminder of joy and peace. good music at church. singing harmonies really loud. resounding, beautiful noise. joy, joy joy!]

great weekend. spent wisely, don't forget to pray before meals. don't forget to be thankful for moments spent in good company. if you're hungry, eat. but go to the gym too. complimentary personal fitness workout. YES. score. only in LA - actually getting ready-ready for the gym. shoot.

and the beat goes on. and persistence continues [can i call you?] [ so when can i take you on a date?]. and decisions are made [ don't touch me, thanks. ], and we learn [asdjbasehasnaf] , we send text messages [too many. they're ALL important.], dance in the car, swear to never wear apple bottom jeans, and have smiles always on our faces [sigh]. except when we're laughing, then they're really big.
