| oooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww. is basically how i felt and still somewhat feel. tuesday was a very scary and long day for me. what started as a normal day at work turned into chaos, an ambulance ride, and hanging out in the ER in pain. maybe i should start at the beginning....ive been battling a cough for like a month now. and it got progressively worse. ppl at work were giving me cough drops, and a list of remedies to try. still nothing worked. but i wasn't sick...as far as i know. no runny nose, sneezing or a fever. just a damn cough. friday i went to the dr to finally seek some solace. i was given an inhaler again just in case my cough is asthma related since i had childhood asthma. i was given a prescription for an antibiotic but not to take it til i can confirm the color of my phlegm is yellow cause if its green the antibiotic won't do anything. i was given a nebulizer while at the office, which left me kinda shaky and lightheaded. so afterwards i got aja and went to get my prescriptions with jer and aja. after coughing a bit my right lower back started to feel really sore like if i had stretched it too much. just dealt with it and went on with life. the pain got worse over the weekend. monday it was hurting so much. bought those icy hot back patches and that didnt work. so i gave up on those and used the salompas. damn that stuff does wonders. tuesday i woke up feeling a lot better. still a bit sore but not like i had been all weekend. so anyhoo. im at work talking to a participant when i coughed...OMG!!!!!! i coughed and heard and felt my back pop. omg the pain was horrific. i told the nanay to go get our nurse. after what felt like forever one of our lvns, auntie shirley, came around and i told her what happened and by then more of our nursing staff finally came including the boss. i told them what had happened and it was decided to call 911 cause the pain was horrible and it was inhibiting my breathing when my back would spasm. so the ambulance and fire trucks come hauling ass to HOPE and pick me up. after some checking of my heart and blood pressure i was taken to UCSD Hospital Thorton in La Jolla. so i am trying to get into the room in the ER and get settled when i have another cough and back spasm that hurt like hell. the triage nurse trying to take my vitals was cool and tried to help me out but the one that i guess was in charge was a bitch. im standing there tightened like a bolt in excruciating pain and all she cared about was that i get undressed and put on the gown and give a damn urine sample. it took me almost 10 minutes from the time i got there til the time that the triage nurse could take my vitals from the pain i was in..thats how bad it was. but that chick kept coming in saying that i REALLLLLY needed to give them the damn sample. after awhile and very slowly i was able to ablige. shortly afterwards they came in and told me that my mom was there and if it was ok for her to come in. so my mom came in and inbtwn spasms/coughs/pain i was able to explain what happened and about the chaos at work. so finally a doc came in and examined me. from what he could tell from where i hurt and how i hurt he speculated that i either 1) popped a lung out of place 2) popped a rib out of place or 3) fractured a rib..all from the strain of coughing. so he ordered xrays to figure out what kind. he also ordered some hardcore (according to my xray tech) pain killer to help me out. so after the doc left, a nurse came in and gave me that shot...she didnt even pay much attention to my injection site cause as soon as she took out the needle i started bleeding and had blood run down my arm. my mom had to get a napkin and wipe my arm. shortly after that the xray tech came in and took me for my xrays. they really need to make shorter beds for short ppl like me. cause trying to get in and out of the beds for the admittance, sample and xray is hell just trying to stretch my legs and body just to reach the ground or find support to pull myself up..then the added obstacle of the pains on side, which brought me there in the first place, did not make it any easier. so luckily after the xrays no more moving til discharge time. but after the xrays i can feel the pain meds kicking in. i was starting to feel kinda queasy and started to get drowsy. it also didnt help that i hadn't eaten since last night. so i spent like the next 2 hours in and out of sleep interrupted by coughs/spasms/pains. finally the results of my xrays came in and i am talented enough to fracture my rib. go me! so i get discharged. they dont even ask me how am i or how is the pain killer taking effect so we had to ask for a wheelchair ourselves so i can be taken to the car. i was sooooooooooooooo eh it wasn't even funny. so finally we get to the car.
so we go to HOPE to get my stuff and my car. i get there and everyone comes out to see how i am. i tell them just how talented i am and some of them didnt even know you can fracture a rib by coughing..which includes my whole family. heh. so after my mom and manang decide for me to take the rest of the week off mom and i head out. dad left already to get my prescriptions. so we go to get aja. so i had to show mom how to pick up aja since im in no condition to do so unaccompanied. told desiree and bibi how talented i am while we are at kindercare and even they were surprised it can be done. so bibi goes and gets aja for us..who happens to be still asleep in a nap. so we head out. get aja chicken nuggets then go home. im so limited in my movements that i basically just plant myself on the recliner downstairs. for the most part thats where i stay. after drinking like 3 glasses of water..which is the only thing ive had all day..i start vomitting up all the water and what not. poor aja got freaked out. she kept asking to go home..which we were already at. the rest of the night was spent simlilarly with many dozes inbtwn. now i feel how a narcoleptic must feel. id be awake for a few minutes then suddenly be out.
then about 830ish we get a call that Nicole has been taken to the hospital in henderson cause she was having complications with the baby and the baby's blood pressure kept dropping. auntie marie and uncle mon were on their way to vegas to be with nikki and juni. nikki is only 29 weeks pregnant. so during my brief consciousness id worry about nikki. the rest of the night was no better. aja was traumatized from my unavoidable lack of attention to her and seeing me in the condition that i was. so she kept crying in her sleep and dad didnt know what to do with her. i couldn't sleep cause of the pain and not being able to find a comfortable position on a recliner. i tried laying in bed but that was impossible. we got a text around 230ish..although we didnt know til like 530am that nikki was having a c-section and giving birth early. we called uncle mon to find out that she had already given birth and nicole was in recovery and baby was ok but will be in an incubator for awhile since she is only 2lbs. but as of right now everyone was ok. finallllly its wednesday. mom took the day off to babysit me. we took aja to school, which she did not want to be at. she didnt even want to be with ms. zohra one of her fave teachers. but we had to leave her nonetheless. i wanted at least something consistent in her life right now. so i spent the rest of the day just trying to rest and recoup. i could finally eat around 4am which kinda helped me sleep too. after dropping off aja we went to mcdonalds and got some breakfast. after that i took my meds which now includes hydrocodon for the pain.
well for the last 2 days all ive mainly done has been recouping and trying to deal with the pains. coughing still hurts. slowly my range of movements has increased. still can't lay down. i have to stay slightly elevated with a pillow directly under my rib. so hopefully all will be good by the time i go back to work on monday.
so yeah...if you have a hard core cough keep it in check..you might just end up just as talented as me. hahah

| wow its been awhile since ive blogged. apparently a lot has changed. like the title says "my baby isn't a baby anymore" sniff sniff. she's started her potty training, with the help of her kindercare teachers of course. and for the most part she's doing well. last night she even woke me up at 4am to tell me that she needed to go potty so i can take her to the bathroom. she still wears pull up and sometimes she wears dora / tinkerbell / disney princesses underwear to school. we might start her wearing them at home since she's getting better going to her little potties. we went to sea world yesterday and she only went to the bathroom in the actual toilets. sniff sniff she's growing up. she also got her ears pierced last weekend. YES FINALLY!!!! and she was nervous about it. but her only screams / cries were during the actual piercings. once they were done she was done crying. heh. 
aja talks alot now. well compared to before. she still does a lot of babble. but mom and i figured out that when she doesn't expect any reply or real acknowledement then she'll babble. but when she has something to say or wants to make a point she speaks in english. and boy when she wants to say something she wants to say something. she'll tell us "NO", " WAIT A MINUTE", "I DON'T LIKE IT"..etc its cute to hear her sing though. she doesn't know all the words to her nursery rhymes (twinkle twinkle, itsy bitsy spider, patty cake) so she only sings the words she knows. which is funny cause she'll lose an entire verse and only repeat like a line or two from another one. its cute. and twinkle is pronouced pickle. hah. oh and dancing.....she definitely has lolo's spirit running rampant in her. this girl will not stay still. she has a good eye for dancing though. at auntie minda and uncle floro's wedding anniversary she wouldn't get off the dance floor. and she'd put her hands on her hips and tap her foot impatiently btwn songs since they were kareoke songs not a dj. then when ppl would dance she would watch their feet and imitate them. so by the end of the night she was cha cha-ing. even though she doens't fully understand the instructions in the Cha Cha Slide song, she watches the other ppl and does the dance with them. heh. then at the panan dinner dance she wore out several ppl cause she wouldn't get off the dance floor again. she would even pull ppl to dance. then when jodi ann was waiting for her hula music to start aja got on stage and posed like jodi. ever since then aja stands in front of the mirror trying to imitate jodi's hip movements. if you tell aja to "boogie" she'll do a lil tahitian hip action for you. she keeps trying to show her stomach when she dances cause jodi's costume was just a bikini top and a grass skirt. so her stomach was showing. aja's is definitely entertainment. we have also have a new member of the family. daniel john corona canonizado was born to nancy and james. aja fell in love with dj immediately. she wanted to hold him constantly and would get mad when we would take him away from her. everytime we see him she wants to carry him still. doodlebops and dora are still aja's favorites. she's slowly getting to the disney princesses. but only in images nothing else. we can get her princesses clothing and shoes but thats all she cares for. i still have to watch doodlebop dvds for hours on end since she can't watch during the day anymore cause she's at school. speaking of school...oh boy. aja is ms popular. not just from the lil kids in her class but the older kids (school age) including boys and the staff. everyday when we leave to go home aja gets bumrushed by the older kids, especially 3 older boys (like 8-10years old) to get hugs from aja. they get excited when they see me come in cause they know that aja will be passing by soon. sheesh. well in other than aja news...hahah... in march i started working at HOPE. i've been named "computer geek" for the center. everytime theres a problem i get called. hah. i'm in charge of the social work department's files and creating forms. got to tinker with access and actually designed a form. that was time consuming and very tedious. but quite a learning experience. i'm also like the unofficial photographer. sometimes it can be annoying cause the nanays can be very rude and demanding about their pictures. they expect me to take their picture immediately even if im in the middle of something else. the only good thing is that they pay me for their pictures. which is nice. but then the drawback is that they expect me to have my camera at all times. including auntie chita. just cause she wants a picture taken of something she orders me to get my camera. she doesn't ask anymore. so lately ive been hiding in marz' office to avoid her. but of course i get half the staff coming up to me telling that im being summoned by her. finally issa just comes up and asks to borrow my camera. hah. oh well. in march we did the race for autism in honor of don don. it was fun. we had a lot of ppl turn out. don don was excited cause our team shirts had his picture on them. but we had like a 30 member team. we had reps from hawaii, vegas and san diego. when the president of NFAR walked by and saw our shirts he talked to us and knew we were from hawaii, vegas and diego. it was kinda cool that he knew of our team. we did the 1 mile fun walk since we had a lot of kids with us. aja walked most of it. so me and jer looked retarded pushing aja's buggy but no kid in it. there are a couple of ppl who are missing from the team pic cause we are taking the pictures, had to leave or cooking. hah. it was a good way to celebrate my bday don't you think. heheh. not to mention that it was a happy moment in a rather solemn weekend since it coincided with kuya's 1 year anniversary. sometimes its hard to believe that only a year has passed and other times it seems like it was yesterday we all were camped out at the hospital. but we know he's always with us. we see his bird all the time too. even at the race. wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...hahah. got myself a wii for my bday. its fun. we had to buy extra controllers cause aja has to have one cause she thinks she playing. so to stop her crying when jer and i play we got her a contoller to make believe. shes content with that. its defintely a game system for the ages. after the race the kids and adults played at my house. on easter the family played it at auntie marie's. even uncle mon and auntie marie were playing. its not a hard system to control either which is helpful. aja is slowly figuring out how to play. she still needs help with holding of the buttons. the other day aja almost beat me at bowling. our scores were only 3 pins apart. sheesh. jer and i celebrated 3 years in april. thats another one that one time it seems so long and yet at other times its like..its only 3 years. hehe. but its all good. we went to the padres game with trish, dyna, nik and friends. it was aja's first padres game. she was sporting her jersey and all. hah. unfortunately hoffman choked and blew the save. and it was trevor hoffman night commemorating his record for number of saves and he blew it. how ironic. hahah. well my brain is dead. its overwhelmed by doodlebops. so i guess this wil be it for now. til my next novel..hahah | | |
| well times are changing. monday i start a new job. of course its at one of the many family businesses..hahah. ill be working at Hope Adult Day Health Care as a Social Work Assistant. Ill be doing in-home evaluations of the clients as well as presentations to local physicians to entice them to recommend Hope to their patients. So it should be fun. I'll be actually doing something within the Psychology field. so we'll see how that goes.
Aja will be starting Kindercare on Monday as well. we went on tuesday to check it out and aja got to participate with them for the hour or so we were there. she seemed to enjoy herself. so i hope that lasts. its kinda funny cause there is a girl in aja's class named asha. and while i was looking around the class i noticed they had posted all the kids' birthdays on the wall. and all of sudden i saw asha' bday and lo and behold it was november 19, which is aja's bday. so i pointed that out and it turns out that the 2 were born the exact same day. how odd is that. it'll be good for aja to be with other kids and learn how to share and interact with others. she's been with adults for the last 2 years with an occasional encounter with other kids. usually at bday parties. but oh well.
while trying to find aja daycare i had contacted the kindercare in pq. they quoted with an tuition offer for $234 a week for fulltime daycare for aja. at the time i was still only working at target and trying to find a real job. the tuition is more than i take home every 2 weeks. yikes. and they said this offer would only be good for 30 days. well that offer expired like this week. after talking with princess, i called them back and asked about getting financial aid for the cost of the tuition. after getting like 8 different numbers to call i had to go to a website and dl an application for the financial aid. filled it out and took it down to the childcare services center in mission valley. while waiting for someone to make sure that my application is all set joangrace walked by. it turns out that she works there. it was good to see her. haven't seen her in a long time. heh. now its just a waiting game for the financial aid. i get put on a waiting list that changes every time someone new is added on. we are ranked on our family size and how much we make. so one day i may be on the top and the next ill be in the middle. and when ppl/organizations offer money for assistance they take the name from the top. and its up to that org if they are willing to pay for aja's kindercare or if i have to take her out to receive the aid and how much i receive. but i have the option of turning down their offers and return to the waiting list. the lady that helped me said that some ppl are only on there for a couple of weeks and some have been on that list for years. great! can you feel the sarcasm. so i decided to visit the kindercare in mira mesa. thats when aja got to play with the classmates. i figured it would be easier to have her in mira mesa than pq anyways since ill be working in mira mesa and mira mesa's is more on the way to our house than the pq one since its over on the other side of pq. you'd pass our house to get to it. well they have room for aja and the mira mesa one and the tuition is only $197/week. its still more than i make at target but its cheaper than the pq one. sounds good to me. hah. so ive spent all week getting paperwork signed by her doctor and filling out applications and other misc paperwork so aja can start on monday. my lil baby is going to school. sniff sniff.
that same day we went to lunch with jac and met her co-workers and the father of aja's future boy toy. haha.
 everyone already knew about aja over there. jac's desk is almost completely covered with pictures of aja. she has more pictures of aja all around than i do. haha. while we were there we went to visit jamielle. at first aja wouldn't even acknowledge jamie being there. then jamie got aja a couple of their company give aways then aja was all about recognizing her. she would say hi, bye, gave jamie a flying kiss. haha. just bribe the kid and all will be good. hahahha.
other than that my energy has been focused on TEAM DON DON. on march 24th..my bday by the way so make sure to get me something good. hahaha...our family will be taking part in the SAN DIEGO RACE FOR AUTISM on behalf of Don Don. and they'll actually be here from hawaii. although cy won't be here cause he's out to sea. yesterday joyce and the lil boys arrived from hawaii to las vegas for a month of vacation. so the sapanzas, canonizados and friends have formed a team of about 25+ ppl to take part in the race. we had the option of running a 5k, walking a 5k or doing a 1 mile family walk. majority of us chose the 1 mile. hah. but we'll have kids with us so thats ok. itll be fun. so ive been trying to work on a team shirt design and working with rosabel to get it done. we finally go most of done. we are now just working on the proof to get the design sent out and done.
this is combination of the front and the back of the shirt. i bought iron-on paper to use this design as a flag so the gang will know where we are and just to be cool like that. hahha. itll be fun. that weekend is a sapanza weekend. saturday is the race for don don. then on sunday we'll be celebrating..is that the right word?...kuya's 1 year anniversary since he passed away. it actually lands on that monday but ppl have to work and what not. so we'll be doing the rosary on sunday instead. its so weird to think that kuya has been gone for a year already. so much has happened and yet it feels like yesterday. i wonder if we'll feel the same way in november when lolo's 1 year arrives too. its kinda sad for me and aja. cause kuya collapsed on my bday and was brain dead within hours. and ultimately was declared dead 2 days after. and lolo passed away a day after aja's bday. he actually got to see aja on her bday too. we went to visit him. we were there an hour before he died as well but he was so sedated that he wasn't aware of anything that day. so aja and i have to plan our bdays around their death anniversaries. i guess thats just how it goes.
well i think this entry has become long enough. thats what i get for going so long without an entry. hahaha. so have fun. we should be having fun this weekend. we are taking aja to the doodlebops concert on sunday. i just hope it doesn't tramatize her. hehe.
take it easy ya'll.

| its still hard to believe that when i walk into inang's house lolo wont be there to suddenly become this new man with new found strength just to be able to see aja come around the corner and get up to the best of his ability to share in his high-five ritual with aja. its strange to sit on the couch and not see lolo in his bed sleeping, or eating or watching tv directly across from me. now there is a couch that was replaced by lolo's bed a couple of years ago. and yet as i stare at the wall i can see a shadow of what i saw many times over.
its been a nonstop rollercoaster in 2006. first with kuya ken passing away in march. then being told in may that lolo had about 2 more weeks left if we were lucky..mind you he lasted well over those 2 weeks...6 months actually. and the last 3 weeks have been nonstop for me. first there was the preparation for aja's 2nd bday party. during which inang called hysterical cause lolo wasn't breathing right. we knew then that our time with him was fleeting. so that was on wednesday the 15th. aja's party was on the 18th. we stopped by inang's house to pick up the gelatin and beetcho beetcho that was made cause inang and lolo wouldn't be able to attend. inang woke up lolo to see aja but he was so out of it. it was actually a painful sight to see. i late found out that he had been giving medication to sedate him and it was too much. it lasted too long. then the next day was aja's 2nd bday. again we stopped by to see lolo. he was more aware now. was actually eating. the next day we went to visit. also had inang duty that day so i had to bring over the stuff i bought. ended up hanging out there for a couple of hours. oh the drama in the house. then around 830ish aja, jac and i left and shortly afterwards dad left too. about an hour later we got the worst call. lolo had passed away. there is always the shock associated with finding out that someone just died but there was added shock cause we had just seen him.
mom, dad, aja and i headed back to inangs. on the road we were starting to make phone calls letting family know about lolo. when we got there there was so much emotion it was overwhelming. he looked like he was just sleeping. but you knew he wasn't gonna wake up. luckily he was already under hospice care cause they let us have all the time we needed with him. one by one the family gathered at the house. everyone in disbelief. yet, in some weird way, in relief as well. relief that we knew lolo was now ok. no more hospital stays, no more dr appts, no more aches and pains. we spent the next 4 hours making calls, somewhat reminiscing about lolo, and unfortunately getting hooked on nintendo ds. even though it was a sad time, it felt like it should be. we were laughing and joking just as lolo had always done. then around 2am el camino mortuary came and took lolo away. then the numbness settled. everyone went home and tried to get some sleep. i wish i had been able to get more sleep since i had worked the night before and we were up late. but alas no, ate girlie ann made sure of that by calling at 530am and interrogating me for information that i had no idea of since they had only taken the body 2 hours earlier we didn't know when the funeral was gonna be held.
the next 2 days was filled with more calls and relaying of information. tuesday night began the 9 days of rosary. it was weird saying lolo's name. the last time i did it was for kuya ken. well at least now kuya and lolo can hang out. marc bought a ds so now there were 3. again we got hooked. wednesday was pretty much just like tuesday except me, quinn and aj got ds. who would have known it would have been so addicting. i wonder though, even as much fun that the ds is, would we have been so hooked had the circumstances been different. did we find some sort of escape or solace in the ds that we may have needed to keep ourselves sane and in control of our emotions? just a thought. then came thursday. which happened to be thanksgiving. more drama was related to that but from the otherside of the family. they dont even deserve and explanation. whatever. it turned out to be an interesting holiday since a flight landed from the east coast with 12 of our family members arrived that day. we spent our thanksgiving sharing stories, meeting relatives in some cases, texas holdem, mahjongg, wheel of fortune and ds. friday and saturday was more rosaries and relatives arriving from out of town. the introduction of the scrabble queen to the west coast took place during this time.
sunday was the first viewing. i still dont understand why filipinos are compelled to take pictures with the deceased. and with each picture we were like..do we smile or not? its just an odd ritual as far as im concerned. during this mass nicole, jac, quinn and i did the eulogies. it was hard and very emotional. but i think we let everyone who was there know the type of person lolo was. as though they didnt already know. monday was the 2nd viewing. this time the guys gave the eulogies. matt played lolo's bundurria. he attempted to play lolo's favorite song. that was so gut wrenching. just cause we know we won't hear him play it again. unfortunately lolo missed matt's debut in front of the family. matt never performs for the family. and here he was playing for us. tuesday was really hard. the family got to spend time with lolo before they closed the casket for about an hour or so. just before they closed it was so emotional. i was carrying aja and everytime i cried she would stare at me and try to pinch my face or do something to get me to stop. uncle tony came around and offered us kleenex at one point. i took one and aja took one. then all of sudden aja started wiping my eyes for me. there is just something about her. when nanay died and we were at her funeral aja and i were standing behind auntie chining. and aja began to run her back to console auntie. and would give auntie hugs and such when we were back at the house. then when kuya died when we were at the casket at the viewing aja waved good bye to him. she knew. and now this. interesting child i have. funerals are hard to endure when you really know the person but unfortunately the priests tangent explanation about our last name was even harder to endure. i wanted to say so bad...and this has what to do with lolo already? but yeah.
at least lolo's burial site has a marker for us to be able to find it easily. he's along side the huge white statue across from the main office. i've gone to a couple of funerals at el camino and i have no idea where they are buried cause there was no distinct marker for me to remember. there's no disputing this one. and near by is one of jermiah's lolos so that makes it a little easier. we can visit both. as we were following the casket towards his site i came across another canonizado buried nearby. i pointed it out to other family members but no one really knew outright who they were. we were speculating that they were related to the canonizados that live across the street from the guiangs. but we dont know for sure. another thing to make lolo's funeral a bit more memorable i guess you can say is that aja decided to bless me. she peed on me. i guess from everyone picking her up and carrying her, we managed to shift her diaper. so when she peed it missed the diaper but got me instead. yeah not fun. after the buriial we ate at hometown buffet. there were a lot of ppl. many i didnt even know who they were.
after that we went back to inang's house. enjoyed what we could with our jersey relatives before mr killjoy arrived. i usually dont speak up but i was so pissed that he entered the house bellowing and went and reprimanded inang in her own house. inang didn't have a problem with us. she knew that what we were doing and how we were acting was exactly how lolo was. he would have been right there with us if the circumstances were different. eh. that ended that quickly. we said our goodbyes to the jersey crew as they left to catch their flight back home. wednesday was the 9th day. the last rosary. however we ended up having 2. that was just a way tooooooooo long of a day.
thursday we began to slowly try to return to normalcy. it has been a tiring whirlwind of emotions the past 3 weeks. saturday i had to stay a couple of hours with inang so she wouldn't be by herself. it was odd watching inang playing with aja. they kinda played hide and seek through the fridge door. and inang and aja were just having a good ol time. i sat on the couch like i normally do and just stared at what used to be lolo's area. and see no residule of him even being there. i know its a good thing, cause then we arent dwelling. but then again it was like one minute he was there the next minute he wasn't. itll take some time to guess use to him being gone. but like i said in my eulogy, we all have some of lolo in us. he'll never be forgotten. and his spirit lives in all of us, even aja who only knew him for 2 years, she has his spirit too.
Rest in Peace Lolo. til we get to hear your music again. We love you!

| i dont get why ppl find the need or desire to camp out for tickets or game consoles for days knowing that as they camp out they will lose out on life and may not even get what you are camping out for. last night i went to work at 11pm and found ppl camping out for a chance to get the $600 ps3 that dont come out til friday. and we are only getting a few of them in. so majority of the ppl will not even get it. the guy that is in front of the line is still a high schooler. he's missing school today and will be late on friday because he's trying to get the ps3. supposedly they have been already perched outside the target for some time before we all started arriving for work. i will laugh...when figuratively speaking....if they camp out for so long and it turns out that the few that are received are giving out by a raffle. so they may not even get one.
i dont understand why ppl are compelled to do this. i remember when i worked at the theatre ppl camped out for like a week to get pre-sale tickets for the star wars movies. and the movie wasn't even coming out for like another month. some ppl brought out generators and had tvs and game consoles with them to entertain themselves over the days. hehe i remember a couple of them had lightsabers and were horsing around with them too, pretending they were luke and darth vader..hah. then they would turn around and camp out again for the movie itself. and some came in costumes.
anyhoo..thats my confusion at the moment. im so tired. aja's bday party is on saturday and her bday is on sunday. running around all over the city picking and ordering food, cake, and desserts while also getting supplies for the kid gift bags, table cloths, and other necessary stuff. and having to work and deal with double trucks. grr.
welp. thats my quick update for now.
