It's late at night and...

I got some random thoughts again. First, I just wanted to say wow. AP Testing is finally over! It ended like a day ago but I used the other time to just freaking relax and not try in school haha. AP testing day was definitely one of the longest days of my life. I dont think I've ever done anything in a day that amounts to 8 hours of sitting, 200 multiple choice questions, and 12 essays. It was pretty funny how the APEL and AP Art Test landed on the same day, since so many people were taking both courses. Also, the fact that all 4 periods, about 91 people, of the AP Art classes were shoved into one classroom. Anyways, everyone was so happy once all the tests were over. Go everyone! Now, its just time to finish everything else in the other classes, gotta finish strong, and once thats done, I'll be a Senior...

Now its pretty early in the morning, about 630. Last night was Westviews Prom, "A Walk on the Wild Side..." at Petco Park. Thank you Felice for taking me as your date! Hm so where should I start..Well the day started out with the usual new haircut, pickup things like clothes, corsage, etc. Once ready, everyone met at Candies House, then Westview to take pictures. Back at Candies, our "bus" picked us up haha. Since our bus was owned by Deja Vu, some strip club company, there were other similar company names along the top of the bus. On the back, there was a picture of a half naked girl, with the words "Follow Me..." near her mouth. And on both sides, there were pictures of lifesize people looking into the windows of the bus. Haha I honestly think it was kind of funny how we ended up with the bus. One of Candies neighbors was outside, with the most pleasant smile looking at the bus haha. Dinner was at Tom Ham's Lighthouse. The food was pretty good, I had Tropical Isle Chicken. The wait for the food took quite a while, and the menu was pretty pricy, most items were $20+. The service was pretty good though, I swear I had my water glass refilled like after every time I took a sip haha. Now it's time for the dance. The whole layout was pretty cool, the dance was on the rooftop balconies, and on the floor under that was a "casino" like place and they had a bunch of pretty good snacks. The DJ in my opinion was aiiight. And the dance flooor was like way too small, there was barely any room to really dance, and as my friend put it, it really just looked like a giant "humpfest". But it was fun overall for sure. The DJ though, had to diss Mt. Carmel a couple times; "Y'all party harder than folks at Mt. Carmel" "Man, alla ya'll dance better than Mt. Carmel". Like what the? haha whatever, I know it was another schools prom but yeah you know what Im saying. Being a Mt. Carmel-ian, of course I'd think that was wack haha. So after the dance, pretty much just went to Candies, Alvaros, then peaced out. Pretty fun day, hot as hell though...


signing off...

Confirmation / The Beautiful Struggle

Congratulations to all those who have been confirmed! I'm finally confirmed, and it feels good. I definitely feel uplifted inside, and closer to the G-man himself. It still amazes me how fast the whole process has gone by. I even remember sitting through my sisters confirmation, seeing her be confirmed, which was years ago, and just a few day ago I got confirmed. The bishop brought up something that really caught my attention. He talked about life and love and how theres nothing better in life than to have loving relationships with people and maintaining them. In my mind as he said those words, there were a million faces that came up, all from my family and friends and those who I care so much about. And I think the bishop is completely right, I mean, I dont think I could ask for ANYTHING else in the world than to keep the relationships I have with the people I love and care about. It made me realize how my family and friends shape who i am. I couldnt picture life without them. Confirmations really taught me alot about myself and other people, and remind me how grateful I should be. Thank You for everyone who came to support all the Confirmation-ees, thank you to everyone in my life, family and friends, i love you, especially my mother since its Mothers Day.



As for PCN 2008 "The Beautiful Struggle", Major props to everyone who was involved in every way and a major thanks to all those who supported. It definitely was alot of hard work for everyone, but we ended with success yee! It's definitely crazy how this was my 3rd PCN, leaving only one more to go. Crazy how fast time goes by. I was happy when I my parents told me they enjoyed the show, and that my sister told me it wasn't a typical PCN. I cannot wait to see the PCN dvd, and also for Fil-Am Banquet!



...everyone has a purpose, nobody is not loved...
