500 days of summer

well OBVIOUSLY there’s no 500 days of summer. just a title

anyways! i wanna make a quick summary of summer 2009

JUNE

i finally turned 21! whoop whoop. been enjoying the priveleges that comes with it but trust me…i don’t get buck wild. not my cup of tea (=

went to six flags with dillon jose and violet. and that’s only a once in a lifetime thing because i cannot take extreme rollercoasters more than once. at least i was a trooper and went on all the rides!

JULY

only been to the beach ONCE this summer with dillon. we drove to
santa monica because we’ve never been ON the beach there. a very nice
day…good tanning. aaannnnd we saw dolphins swimming close to shore!
at first I freaked out and thot it was a shark until we saw the whole
family riding the waves with the surfers. awesome sight.

we had a vision 2006-2007 reunion because our friend sara from
serbia came to visit USA for the first time!!! (=

dillon managed to get extra tickets to the dodger game and work
so we decide to take sara, alex, and gloria to the game for a
good ole american time. hahaha

mel dillon and i took her to the grove in la to eat at cheesecake factory

and spend the WHOLE freaken day at disneyland starting from 9AM to 12AM
it was pretty insane. everyone’s body was aching until the next day.

also did laker girls and clipper’s spirit auditions that i failed miserably
in, but it’s okay….i’ll be more ready next year (=

and for our 18 months anniversary dillon got me a harry potter
treasure book chest!!! (= yes, i’m a harry potter nerd. hahaha so
that was a wonderful present with a scavenger hunt involved.
got dillon into harry potter after we bought tickets to the premiere
of the 5th movie and waited in line for 4 hours with roberto nuno
to watch the midnight show. prettty crazy…i never did a midnight
showing before.

AUGUST

went to a dodgers vs. cubs game with jose, kathryn, roberto nuno,
and others(who left early).

went to the edison again for dillon’s friend’s girlfriend’s bday. hahaha
it’s complicating huh? well it was a fun chill night.

well then…the week AFTER….went to my friend lauren’s birthday.
the birthday girl is the white girl..the only white girl with all
the asians.. hahaha and an amazing dancer (=

then the most memorable vacation of all, VEGAS…HOLLA!!!!
went with my mother, sister, dillon, mel, and mai.
learned how to play blackjack from geo before he left to go home
won a lot of money…then LOST the winnings in one night…
came out of vegas with the money i came with…so in general
I DIDN’T SPEND ANYTHING AT VEGAS…until i reached the outlet

went to XS at WYNN…that club is BEAUTIFUL..too bad it was a
pool party night and none of us were in swim clothes… and there was
no dancing…what a bummer…so left early.

goodbye summer!!!!

going up

this wonderful place calleddisneyland has raised up the price for their

annual passholders! OUTRAGOUS.

now the premium passes cost $429 each

and deluxe passes cost $289 each..

i don’t even wanna list the other two because there’s no point of going after that.

its almost half a grand to be able to go to disneyland the whole year now…and

you basically spend more than a grand yourself being in disneyland and buying

the food and gifts… i don’t know whether to blame the economy or disneyland.

tax went up too! how does the government expect to give us the right to the pursuit

of happiness with raised taxes on everything? AND THEN…they go and cut school

budget…which makes our student fees and tuition go up!!! we’re definitely not rich

students…and financial aid is being reduced because of the cuts, so paying for school

is even harder.

ahhh…hahaha all i’m doing is complaining about this stupid economy. but yeah im

sure everyone is too.

anyways. DISNEYLAND TODAY with  mary noel joey dillon and maybe dennis

gotta get our moneys worth for our premium pass that we bought before they raised

their prices!

come hither

i am writing this because i am still alive and well.
AMEN.

THE EDiSON

before turning 21 years old, my sister, michael, dillon, and i decided to play disneyland monopoly at 10pm MAY 30. I unfortunately bankrupted before turning 21 at midnight, and it was down to my sister and dillon playing against each other in a very intense game. by midnight they stopped the game and sang happy birthday to me (= and announced that i won even when i lost first. hahha but still played because dillon really wanted to try and win….sadly my sister started to build castles on matterhorn and main street..(which is like boardwalk and park place in regular monopoly) and dillon had to give all his properties and
money to her. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA it was hilarious….we’ve never finished a game of monopoly until then.

monday was lovely, a day of disneyland after dillon’s class.( he took the whole week off of work to hang out )…since disneyland is doing their CELEBRATE THEME…i got my free $69 giftcard…and dillon still had his food gift card from work…so we ate free…and bought to his/her mugs.

after spending only about 3-4 hours there, we went back home to pick up my mother for a tepanyaki dinner with me, dillon, and my parents. after we went back to my sisters for some cake cutting and pictures. (= and dillon gave me my birthday present – TIFFANY’S TEARDROP NECKLACE michael bought the cake .. MmM to icecream cake!!! sadly, i had to rush down to long beach for practice cause i was already 2 hours late!

at practice my pimps ashley and richelle gave me my birthday cake! pure chocolate!!! its was soo good and i usually dont eat chocolate too. we practiced til 1ishAM…and i drove home.

end of my REAL birthday day.

tuesday!
it was a date day.
dillon and i met up in the morning/afternoon and decided to do a little costume
shopping for saturdays big bash event…theme: 1920s
first stopped by best buy for a small pick up that dillon wanted then
we went to OUT OF THE CLOSET thrift store..found nothing…then searched
for AARKVARK’S thrift store…with not much variety i bought a $15 flapper dress..
size XL…because i thot it was my last resort…non refundable or exchangeable.
then, got ready to go to RUTH’S CHRIS steakhouse in pasadena.
food REALLY GREAT and extra pricey )= but it came with a free dessert for
my birthday! and my first legal drink!!! WOOOOOOOO i got a whiskey sour
and dillon got some kind of mojito.

a little buzzed, we met up with mel and geo to watch UP!…the bestest best
pixar ever…cried the whole movie thru everytime that old guy mentioned
his wife…hehehehe.

end of day tuesday

wednesday!
a very chill relaxing day…dillon and i watched a few episodes of 24 season 7.
then decided to go bowling before i had to go to practice.
our bowling scores SUCKED…hahah and we went back home for more
24…and got ready to go to practice…which dillon decided to join me in my
late night practice. practiced practiced practiced and ended around 2:30ishAM
[[ for those who don't know what we are practicing for....it's for BODY ROCK
june 13. at SD come watch PAC MODERN AND OTHER DANCE TEAMS COMPETE]]

thursday!
the original plan was to go to san diego for seaworld, but i had a call back to
do some paperwork at MACY’S (new job) and i had practice at night again for
modern…so we just ran errands that day. hung out around eagle rock..and
watched the laker game. ( GO LAKERS. THEY WON 1-0 ) then…off to practice

friday!
the original plan was to go to six flags with dillon and jose but that didn’t
happen so just chilled and relaxed the whole day (= went shopping for dillon’s
outfit…and placed suspenders on hold for michael at hot topic in arcadia
dillon bought a hat for saturday…and ended up getting me a new dress
at forever 21 because that was a much prettier and classy dress than
the XL flappers dress from AAARKVARDS with a urban outfitter’s 1920s
hat for $34 that we are DEFINITELY returning. came home and did a fashion
show for mel…and went to my sister’s to do a fashions show to her.

so as you can see..this whole week was great… i havent relaxed in a while.

SATURDAY!
THIS IS THE DAY!!! MY PARTY (= YAY!!!
woke up early and got breakfast with my sister at mcdonalds. then went to
arcadia mall to pick up suspenders and accessories with my sister and dillon.
went with dillon to his house to cut and shave rames (their lion dog). got
my HIGHEST EVER score of 210,000 on bejeweled before going home.
got ready, got my sister ready. and mai came over and WE WERE OFF
FOR A 1920s night at the EDISON.

sick of it

i’m absolutely positively sick of people wanting to be appeased…
i’m sick of always being the one that is to blame because i don’t have
time to hang out with people…

maybe they see it as if i’m not “trying” to hand out…and all i hear
is “oh glenna’s too busy now because of dillon….oh glenna doesn’t know
how to prioritize her friends…oh glenna’s been mia…oh it’s her fault she
can’t hang out…oh i feel neglected because she doesn’t call me or
IM me…or talk to me first.” WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!?!????? sorry needed
to get that out.

you know what? whatever. fine by me. i’m busy GETTING MY LIFE
TOGETHER. and if you guys can’t see that…you obviously dont care
about others trying to get their stuff straight…trying to do what
they love…and be about to do well in school…trying to live off few cents
per day because they don’t have a job…
so that’s why i can’t hang out…that’s why i don’t initiate…I CAN’T
AFFORD YOU. I CAN’T AFFORD IT….i’m not lying about being broke
as hell either!!! so back off can you?

i understand this might take a few people backwards and be offended,
shocked, or even down right pissed at me…but seriously?! I’M PISSED TOO

i really try to hold it together with everyone stupid attitudes about me
but deal with it! yeah i put a front about tolerating people treating
me like crap because they think they’re smarter…or because i’m less of
a friend because i don’t have time…well let me tell you, i’ll probably
give you everything i have when you’re in need than other people…
because i thot we were friends…and that’s what friends do…
they understand and then they help when in need.
well of course that’s not the ONLY thing friends do… but basically
what i’m talking about it….
WHY THE HELL ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT ME?!
WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HURT?!
WHAT IN THE WORLD DID I DO
THAT MADE ME SUCH A HORRID PERSON?

to the people that don’t live near me…
YOU DON’T LIVE NEAR ME. how dare you say that you don’t see
me anymore and make it a problem…we catch each other at wrong times
WHAT’S SO BAD ABOUT THAT?! it doesnt question our friendship!
but apparently it does to you

to the people that are suppose to understand…
WTF?! so much venting…so much of the same thing over and over
again…and you still don’t understand? you’re starting to feel the same
way?

you know okay…it could be my fault….
i’m exhausted so sometimes I REALLY DONT WANNA HANG OUT…
especially during HELL week for modern….with no sleep…
or commuting to long beach monday thru thursday…
doing friday night fellowship…(which the ones who complained about
church stuff i no longer hang out with…)

how dare some of you blame it on dillon because it’s not his fault
it’s my own decision on doing what i want to do…deciding whether
to hang out or not.

to those that characterize us as one…and despises it…
we’re not ONE..we’re two individuals.
and you know what? we’re doing fine! so why is it so bad that we
like to hang out with each other?

i’m greatful that i still have friends that i dont see and we wont
see each other for months and be great when we do catch up.

finished.

RECAP of the beginning of DECEMBER

well it started with a family cruise after thanksgiving and black friday to celebrate my parents 30th anniversary.  this year, in addition to michael, my mother invited dillon along for the ride. very nice of her…

so all 6 of us enjoyed a 3nights 4days cruise to ensenada, mexico with unlimited fountain drinks and 24 hour buffet. MMMMMMMM

coming back from the trip, we were hit with a hard news of my grandma falling ill and went to the hospital. so both my sister and i having only 3 weeks left of school and prepping for finals decided to book the earliest/cheapest flight to singapore. luckily it was on the week of finals…and not EARLIER so we both arranged for our teachers to let us take our finals before leaving.

so now, here we are! in SINGAPORE
grandma is doing great…she has her bad days but she’s up and going.

we’re here from the dec. 16 til jan 13. and BOY IS IT HOT HERE
i love hanging out with my cousins! this season we got to hang out with bena and benita which we rarely ever get the time to and they got see my dance at a studio i found here (=

and the twins and ben are finally back from their vacation with family so we just taught them ‘nuts’ yesterday night before going to bed. (= they’re hilarious!!

all in all…i<3singapore with my sister and family

but i do miss dillon! )=

so thank You, God for video chat.
