lab lab!

i haven't blogged in a while because nothing's really been going on. i also haven't had lab, which is always great but i had lab this week!

a couple of weeks ago we had to swish saline in our mouths and use it for DNA somethings. yesterday is when we actually used it for indicating stuff. there was a LOT of down time in this lab. there was a quiz too but it was postponed for some reason so we did it later in the lab which was stupid. saw some bioluminance animals, it was cool but the room was really dark and i was suddenly very sleepy. another part of the lab was taking our plants and reaping the seeds. it was brutal but apparently we're going to grow even more plants! we also played with paraflim, it was fun! but brian began to hate it because it wasn't cooperating. the results were in from our DNA, me and brian are heterozygous! for this one intron thing then he said that we might be related, hahahahha!

yesterday night the roommates and i went to this holiday making thingy, i made some friendship bracelets. mary stole some thread.

you can tell i got bored with this blog.

what a great day

yesterday was a pretty awesome day.

Mika, Mary, Tony, Liv and I went to State st to do some shopping. Mika and i helped Liv get fitted for a bra at Victoria's Secret. Mary and Tony went to go buy clothes for Tony, since he dresses terrible. i wanted to make sure i was wearing the right size so i got fitted too. it was not as awkward as i thought it would be. i got a different bra size and bought a bra that was on sale. 20 bucks not bad. afterwards we went to Nordstrom but i didn't like anything there. Mika had to go to something so she went home.

Met up with Tony and Mary at Barnes and Noble. Me and Mary were hungry so we told Tony and Liv that we were leaving. they weren't paying attention and we walked to the hot dog place. the hot dogs were good and the fries were even better! i was facing out the store and saw a military car i had my camera so i decided to take a picture. i ran outside and i took a picture of it, further down the street were more military cars. i shouted "it's a parade!" and mary freaked out and ran outside. it was a veteran's day parade, it had lots of military vehicles. i swore i saw McCain and Sarah Palin. it was cool!

afterwards we went to urban outfitters. i thought that one of the workers was really hot. intimidatingly hot. Mary was again shopping for Tony, me and Liv just hung out waiting for them. i bought the Tucker Max book i've been wanting to read. we thought it was getting late so we took the bus back home. my mistake was falling asleep in the bus. mary took a picture, it wasn't pretty.

i was really tired so i took a nap. my mom called me during my nap, for the second time. gah! after my nap i was just chilling in the house by myself because tony and mary went to albertson's to buy food since tony had friends coming over. Mika calls me and says she has tons of hot dogs and that if i didn't pick them up they would be thrown away. so i rode my bike to Carillo and picked them up. it was super windy outside, but i got the hot dogs.

shortly after i came home, so did tony and mary. we watched some SNL and ate hot dogs. tony's friends finally came. they were really cool, compared to Tony. Tony's really mean, he assumes that i am not capable of doing anything and says it to my face. so i was really surprised when his friends were really cool. i really enjoyed their company.

so that was my day. this blog isn't as exciting as what i experienced but whatevers.

lab

i usually love bio lab but today was just boring, sorta. we were all asked to swish around some saline in our mouths and spit it in a dixie cup. my dixie cup had a puppy playing a mandolin and brian's was pandas that said panda in different languages. sad thing is that panda is said the same way in a bunch of languages. so the saline was nasty and thick, but it was somewhat cool to do in lab. we all put it in tubes and spun it in the centrifuge. i had yogurt this morning so my spit and stuff turned out weird. i had to spin it around again, it still wasn't solid as other people's but it had to do. i had to suck it up in a pipette and put it into a smaller tube. i'm just going to say that saline stuff was thick and gross. we did some stuff to it and for some reason we were waiting around for a long time.

apparently we were supposed to do some computer stuff, which we finished in 20min. so we just talked, this girl across from us was talking about something i didn't really care about. she expected me to pay attention, but i had no idea what she was talking about because i don't drive or is from Norcal. she was expecting me to follow her directions on how to get back to her house and how much gas she spent. at the end of her schpiel, i summed up her story in one sentence. it made me angry and i wanted to slap her. it's the same girl brian wanted to slap last lab, hahahahha! brian saw some colorful tape and wanted to keep it, but we just played with it and stuck it to different places, we are so badass, lol jk! so then we did some non-sense with E. Coli me and brian were pretending we were going to eat it. it would suck if we really did though. we quickly made some cultures because the lab was ending really quickly.

after lab i grabbed some ice cream with brian, cuz AS was giving out ice cream sandwiches and big sticks, a band was performing this afternoon. we got big sticks and made a bunch of "that's what she said" jokes. it was fun but i had class so i had to bounce.

i have to study hardcore today for o-chem. i'm really nervous about it. binge studying will do me some good. hopefully i can find people also studying for it and get some help.

i got a kuya, aka older brother

i'm in this club called KP, which is basically the filipino club at school. i needed to get involved in a club because i haven't done anything for the last two years at college. so i signed up for the kuya(older brother)/ate(older sister)/ading(younger sibling) program. i wanted a Kuya so i requested one. for the past few weeks he's been emailing me to know me better, but i tried not to ask questions because i didn't want to figure him out. Ann told me he was cute and i really couldn't figure out who he was. so i just wanted to keep it a surprise.

today was the ate/kuya/ading revealing party. people had to play games to get tickets to get clue to figure out who your ate/kuya was. there was golf, water pong, twister, UCSB trivia, and some other stuff. i won a bunch of tickets. i figured it out with two clues, wearing a black shirt and vans that look like sneakers. i looked for guys that wore black and vans. i found only one guy and he was good looking, hahahah creepy me. so i went up to this guy and asked him "are you my kuya?" and he said that he wasn't and that he was just here with someone. so i was confused, then i bought a guess and i got it right. i went back up to him and he said he wasn't and that he didn't know what i was talking about. so i asked people to confirm it, i got 3 people to confirm it and went back up to him. he once again said he wasn't my kuya, but i didn't believe it. so he said he'd show me where my kuya was and stuff like that. i was 99% sure he was my kuya. finally it was revealing time, i asked him again and he said he was. he got hit so many times because i didn't believe him. it was really fun hanging out with him trying to figure out if it was him or not. i got gifts, i got a shirt that had dwight on the front and on the back it says "mark's ading" and he had a matching dwight shirt with "jeany's kuya" on the back. it was really cool. i also go presents, got a six pack of sparkling apple cider and a jar full of swedish fish plus gummy bears.

i felt a tad bit awkward after he admitted it. but he was really nice and fun. a bunch of pictures were taken. he's a physics major, poor poor thing. he has to study so much and has so much hw.

Here's a picture of us both:

concert and halloween!

Concert Friday Night:
Ann, Mary and i went early-ish to the concert, but there was a long line. i was disappointed that we weren't near the front, but oh well. we managed to wiggle in near the front. the first act was Treaty of Paris, they were really good. i got to touch the singer's hand, woo! next was Eric Hutchinson, he's the guy with Perez Hilton in his music video. he was good but a bit serious. although he did a great remix of My Girl and Ignition. i really like his last song Rock and Roll but that's when the serious shoving started.

after that was just chaos! everyone was getting crushed and squished. i could hardly breath or move. it was just so crazy. so i got out of there fast, it just wasn't worth it and i knew it wasn't going to stop. Ann and Mary was in the crowd a lot longer than i was. they finally got out and Mary was crying. apparently some guy flipped out on her and elbowed her in the stomach or ribs. it was just bad and it sucked that they didn't get out earlier.

we were pretty traumatized so we didn't attempt to get back into the crowd. instead we just danced behind the crowd. Jack's Mannequin played songs off their new CD which we haven't heard before. for the songs we did know, we freaked out and had a great time. for the last song we got to be close because a bunch of people left. also it was one of my favorite songs La La Lie. it was so cool.

after the show we hung out a bit with Treaty of Paris and bought some merch. too bad Jack's Mannequin didn't have a credit card machine or else i would have bought some stuff. oh well. we were all so tired afterwards.

Halloween:
i had work that day but no one was around, it was really boring. i came home and no one was home so i worked on my costume and got it done. before we went out we took a shot of hypnotic, i thought it was gross. then a bunch of people came along for the walk to DP. it was fun and there were a lot of people. lots of phelps, ghostbusters, jokers, waldos, and penguins. we came back to our apartment, chilled and played rockband. we went to sleep pretty early.

exciting week!

Monday:
at work was really cool. i'm starting to like this job more and more, too bad i don't get more hours, i needs the money. i checked out the gym came back chilled for 15mins and repeat. boss's daughter came by today, she's nice. i was still confused about what to call this guy, either frances or francois? boss's daughter says that francois is his stripper name, i told frances that i didn't know he was a stripper, and i felt weird, hahaha!

came home to find out taht we got a new hamster as a pet. ann named him andy warhol bomb.com, yeah long name. bad news, one of the fish died, it was Tony's fish, Homely Superstar. Homely Superstar only had two working fins and was already tiny. so it wasn't a surprise when it died, it was just disappointing.

Tuesday:
i didn't have my psych section so i didn't go to class and i actually got to sleep in a bit longer. i had to study for psych so i just sat outside reading, the radio was turned on and everyone was actually studying or reading. i felt that we needed more of these kinds of days, so i'm going to impliment study hours on Wednesday. we all need those extra hours of studying and quiet to catch up on homework and reading.

Wednesday:
was kinda hectic. i had class, a psych experiment, my passtime and KP meeting. all the roommates had to go shopping for halloween costumes. so we went to a few thrift shops for ideas and stuff to wear. i found some welding goggles so i'm going to be dr. horrible. i knew i wanted to be betty rubble so i found a blue oversized skirt and going to make that into a dress. that skirt was a size 12 and long. after shopping we ate at Denny's yum! i was late for my passtime but we had to go to KP meeting. so i hurried and got all my classes. the meeting was a bit boring but watever. i got dropped off at home and missed my shows, sad. oh well.

Thursday (Today):
i didn't study last night for my psych test so i was hoping that my lab was going to end early. too bad it took the WHOLE 3 hours of lab. the lab wasn't fun but not boring either. we had to work in fours instead of pairs, so we partnered with people sitting across from us. brian was not happy for a bit, he said that he wanted to slap one of them. we had to fix our plants but Brian's plants died, he said i killed them by just giving them a look. he also pulled a lot of "that's what she said" stuff on me. i was holding this one thing and i said "this thing's so big i can't even grip it" or something of that sort. my poor lab partner is so nervous about meeting Andrew, the singer of Jack's Mannequin. he adores Andrew. lab was long but we had a lot of stuff to do. apparently we did the lab wrong, but whatever it was close enough and we just borrowed someone else's results, hahahha! it really took the whole lab. so i didn't get a chance to study.

i raced over to my class tried to cram all i could. i thought the test was going to be really hard because i didn't study a lot, but i did do all my reading so it was okay. the test wasn't too difficult, even though there were a few questions i didn't know at all, but i could use a lot of process of elimination to get the answer.

tonight is the Jack's Mannequin concert, i'm really excited!!! plus i've heard of the opening acts: Eric Hutchinson, he's on VH1 in the morning, i even saw him this morning; and Treaty of Paris, i've heard of them but not their music. YAY!

Fall Carnival

today the apartment complex had a fall carnival. it was pretty great. there was food, drinks, fish pong, pumpkin painting, and various games.

mary and tony won a fish each, i was intensely jealous cuz i want a fish too. soon the fish were gone, only one was left so the game became one fish one cup. it went on for a while, i was really close a couple times. finally this girl won and the game was over. sad.

we painted some pumpkins, ate some and enjoyed a band that was just around. it was a very enjoyable day. i stole a bunch of veggies and dip. fun fun fun!

hahahahha

i would have blogged a bit more but i've been forgetting and lazy.

on monday i had work and it wasn't so bad because boss guy wasn't in, so i just chilled with the guys and didn't do much. i had a lot of fun doing nothing. work's only boring because i don't talk or interact with anyone. i wonder if i can get another job, i'm getting so few hours, only 4 hours a week. lame. i needs my money! i only have 100bucks in my checking. textbooks were so expensive this quarter, that's why i'm almost broke. i don't get anymore money until next quarter, in december. =(

tuesday was a tad boring. in the ucen i found a different puzzle, it was a andy worhol marilyn monroe collage. i worked on it for a total of 4 hours. i almost finished but filling the edges was hard so i just went home and decided to come back the next day. much later at night mary, ann and i went to yolanda's place to eat some guatemalan food. it was good and we check out their apartment, it's a lot newer and has FT furniture.

today on my one hour break i finished the puzzle! yay! too bad there was one piece missing, but i wasn't too upset about that. we roommates took a lot of pictures on mika's macbook. lots of fun!

busy friday

yesterday was really stressful in the morning. i took a shower to wake me up since i don't know how to make coffee and it'd get all jittery and stuff.

i was kinda nervous about my bio midterm. my lab partner sat next to me and the music people played that "paper planes" song by MIA. it was stuck in my head when i was taking the test. that part sucked, but i think i did very well on it, considering i only studied for bio for only a day.

o-chem was a whole different story. since i got out early from bio i had a bit more time to study right before the o-chem midterm. actually looking at the test, i was shocked, it wasn't what i was expecting. i felt like i was screwed. on some questions i didn't know what it was asking. it wasn't a multiple choice test, but there were questions that asked either or. i just guessed on those either-or questions so i have no idea how i did on this test. i left the test with a headache. blah!

hours later i had to go to work, and i was super bored because i had no one to talk to. i was walking around and found a place to sit. i just rested for a bit and i almost fell asleep. one of the other guys caught me laying down. later he said he got a kick outta it because that's what they used to do. i was glad when i got out of work.

afterwards we headed off to starbucks friday. i wasn't so thirsty but hungry so i went next door to the sushi place and bought a Mika roll, it's like a california roll but with cream cheese and shrimp tempura, it's really good. it hit the spot, i love sushi!!!

we were going to go to the soccer game but i fell asleep and didn't feel good cuz i've been up for so long and i took two midterms very early this morning.

but later we went to bowling. the first frame i got two gutter balls, lol but i did a lot better during the night. bowling was fun and free!
