shop-o-rama
As tired and exhausted as I am, I managed to stay up this late already... At least I don't have to work tomorrow...
So after spending three weeks of doing nothing but shopping, what do I do on Saturday after I get home??? Zack takes me to MELROSE BLVD (shopping heaven!!)... :-/ One would think that I was shopped out, but ohhhh nooo.... except I did experience massive sticker shock.. (uhhh $40 for a tshirt?? I'll pass...) But I did get major inspiration, so it was still nice... And I found this amazing thrift store and bought this really cute granny shirt for $12!! I'm stoked! Tuesday night, Zack & I went to a Res screening at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood... it was alright, mostly a music video showcase and though all the videos/short films were amazing in their artistic quality, the music was absolutely horrrrrrrrrrid.... :-( There were some songs where Zack & I would just look at each other with horror on our faces, not knowing what to make of the song... Afterwards we met up with Braden & Taylor, went to the afterparty in this really cute cafe down the street... Cafe Des Artistes... Well, the late night menu consisted of mostly $30 caviar and shit... Plus all the people who attend the screenings are the typical "I'm wayyyy too fucking cool for everyone..." LA scenesters, so we felt really out of place, and I had no incentive to initiate conversation with any of them... "so like yeah.. my brother in law knows this guy who is best friends with the producer of CSI.... yeah... i totally have connections.." so we left, wandered down Hollywood Blvd trying to find food... But the thing about this town is everything is open late (it's midnight already), but they stop serving food at 10:30/11:00! wtf... So we found this adorable italian cafe on a side street where some chic in the bar was singing 40's blues songs... Made for an interesting evening, but sucked hardcore since we didn't get back to Zack's house until about 1:30 a.m., and I had to get up at 5:30 a.m. for work... :-/ Last night I was so exhausted that I fell asleep at 6 p.m. when I got home from work, and slept until 5:30 a.m this morning....on the couch... :-) My dad took photo's of my cats capitalizing on my comatose state... I'll post in the near future once I get them off his camera...
My dad is teasing me again... This guy from the local VW dealership called my dad tonight to tell him that they have a Cabrio on the lot for sale... My dad said "oh yeah? I'll come by tomorrow to check it out!"... I know he wants to get me a new car since he doesn't like me driving my old clunker (that I absolutely adore) around all over LA (especially after the fiasco last year, with it breaking down 5 times in a month..), but I can't afford the car insurance on a newer car... But he does this all the time and takes me to the VW dealership so I can drool over the Cabrio's, even the Golf's... :-/ And nothing ever happens.. So he tells me to call my automotive insurance and they quote me $200/mo for full coverage.. *chokes*... hardly an option... So.. I suppose tomorrow evening we will venture out to AV Volkswagen to look at a beautiful white 2003 Cabrio.... (Personally, I'd rather not have a white car...but beggars can't be choosy, eh?) *sigh*...
So, since I have such a long break from school, I think I'm going to go to Hawaii.... Just to lay on the beach and be a bum for a few days since I didn't get to relax AT ALL in the Philippines... That's probably why I was ill upon my return home... When my mom and I stayed overnight in Tokyo, we were sniffling up a storm, and I ended up staying bedridden on friday (my first day home) since I was so sick... :-( I probably got sick from being TIRED all the time... so I still need a vacation.... and Selena is begging (literally) for me to go to Orlando with her for spring break... Pensacola is 8 hours from Orlando, and she offered to pick me up in New Orleans (which is 4 hours the OPPOSITE direction from Orlando) and then drive me to Orlando.. that's love, going 4 hours out of the way to pick someone up from the airport... I'd rather not go to Orlando but I haven't seen her in eon's and I miss her terribly... I love her so much, she's a sister to me... her mom is my second mom... I guess her brother is even my "brother" since he cooks for me when I visit.. so I don't know, we'll see when the end of march nears... I just may venture out to Orlando and experience central florida, disneyworld and flying cockroaches...
And just for the record... I love Zack so much... he is such an amazing boyfriend, and he takes such good care of me... he even made mention tonight of us being together "forever"... :-p (plus when he mentions how his colleagues think the world of me and bug him about how he should marry me so he won't lose me, i can't help but swoon... i'm such a girl..)
So yeah, I think I'm going to post sometime in the future more in-depth details of my voyage across the planet.. But then again, I'm such a procrastinator I'll probably never get to it... I don't think I even divulged the details from my last trip, besides the part when mom went psycho... (it continued into this trip as well...)
Alright, time for bed... adios...
