Interesting Weekend

I sure have not blogged for the past 3 days now. Who knew that time would go by so quick. A lot has happened during these 3 days, mainly the weekend which I'll be talking about first. I'll try reading everyone's blogs as much as I can.

Yesterday, I woke up around 10 am and was told to hurry up because my dad was coming home from work and we had to leave right away to Oxnard. I ended up not going to my senior portraits & college fair, but the senior portraits will be taken care of after I call fotorama to ask when is the next time they'll come to my school again. So it was 11:30 I believe and we were heading to Washington Mutual to cash in my check. I got over $800 in cash and my mom took $50 to buy cake for my younger cousin, Jared. My dad was freaking out over his credit card because he thought he lost it. Turns out my mom had the card the whole time and he was a little heated. I forgot to bring my ID during the check process, but it turned out fine. Then we headed to Panorama city to chow down at Chow king. Dad went to do some groceries for the party while mom, lolo and I waited for his return. Finally, we were on the road to Oxnard. It was an hour drive and it went by pretty quick. I thought we would stop over Camarillo Outlet, but that happened the next day with dad and I.

We arrived at my Lola's house, which was the place my dad first lived in before he moved to LA years ago. It was boring at first since only a few relatives and friends whom I didn't recognize showed up. I waited for about 2 hours for everyone to come over. During those 2 hours, my cousin James and I just quickly caught up on some things. We talked about plans for college, senior year, classes and so on. It was a usual cousin talk knowing that he and I have not seen each other since June. My other cousin, Nikki later arrived from her short flags practice and we went to the front yard to see her demonstrate. The weather was pretty cold, and I wore shorts too. Such good timing to wear the wrong clothing. Nikki and I headed to the park nearby and went on the swings. It brought back good memories. Some mexican men were staring at us while we walked by. Another pedophile moment? Probably. I called my cousin Lily to see if she arrived to the house and she said yeah. After her arrival, so did everyone else. It was great to see majority of everyone again. Nicole called me regarding the performance and my speech. I had to leave before the prayer started. I felt horrible to leave early from the gathering, which was 6 pm.

My aunt dropped me off to Nicole's house and I saw about 15 people, along with a few of her relatives. She introduced me to everyone and they were chill. I finally met Nicole's half-brother Edgar. He reminds me of that actor Lou Diamond Phillips, and if you guys don't know who he is, look him up on IMDB. Anyway, the first performance was the polynesian one with Nicole and her two friends, Krista & Kim. They did some hip-hop dancing and it was so cute! Next performance was Krista's boyfriend, Nathan who I think hates me because I made fun of him most of the time. AHAH but he performed using a stick with fire and twisting it around. I find it amazing, though he kept dropping it several times. It was his first time so I gave him props for performing that. Then it was my turn on the speech. I knew I messed up while talking and the weather was getting to me. In the end, everyone went 'AWWWWW' as I finished and gave Nicole a huge hug. I felt so relieved about it. Nicole's best friend Edgar played the guitar with a few songs from Nicole's pop solo concert back in May. She sang songs such as 'Sexy Love' by Ne-Yo and 'Bleeding Love' by Leona Lewis. She kind of forgot some lyrics to the other songs and tried stalling. It was pretty funny actually.

Then the cake came along. It was so delicious with strawberries and other fruits included. After Nicole blew the candles, her kuya June (who btw was hilarious during the party with his jokes) came by and caked her! She had it coming and I joined in as well. Her hair had frosting all over it and we took photos. Too bad I didn't bring my camera because I still can't find the freakin` charger. Everyone chatted, danced, and had a great time during the night. As soon as the song 'I like to move it' played, we were all getting into it, jumping up and down. I suggested for a mosh pit (which I was kidding), and someone was like 'YEAHHH WE SHOULD!' Luckily it didn't happen or else we'd be injured by now. I danced with this guy name AJ, who is Nathan's best friend from Oxnard High School. He's weird, yet such a nice person to chat with. I didn't know that he's a senior. I thought he was a junior or something. Looks can definitely deceive you.

Once the party was over, the remaining people helped out with the cleaning. It was mostly all girls and about 4 guys that stayed until midnight. We played the game 'Baby, Do You Love me?' which was so hilarious! Here's how the game goes. You have to ask that question to someone and make sure they do't laugh when they say 'Baby I love you but I just can't smile'. They have to keep a straight face, or else it's there turn to ask someone else. I pretty much killed it when Nathan came to me. He's so out there and would do anything to make you laugh. He tried getting touchy with me because he knew I was such an easy target. I backed away and was like 'WTF?!" HAHAH ! Jasmin & Kim kept hers up most of the time, until they finally cracked. We all had a great time. Then the 'Truth or Dare' game is another story. Nathan kept picking dares the whole time while most of us were saying truth. It was my turn and I chose truth. Nicole was the one who asked and the question was 'which guy in this room do you honestly have an attraction with, whether it's small or big?' In my mind, I kept saying 'are you kidding me?' Then again, I did chose for truth. I looked at AJ and said it was him. He smiled and I stood there with this awkward feeling. Someone dared Nathan to jump on the small pond from the backyard and he surprisingly did. We rushed to the back and were rooting for him. His feet were so filthy that someone dared Kim to massage Nathan's foot. Talk about disgusting there. The most funniest moment that ever happened was when Christian, Nicole's childhood friend had to sit on Nathan's lap for a minute. I took a photo on it from my phone which I'll be posting up later when I find the USB cord. The song Nathan played was 'Hot in Here' by Nelly and Christian's officially scarred for life thanks to what he went through. I couldn't stop laughing as Nathan tried getting touchy with him.

Too many things happened and I'll forward to the part where Nicole dared me to sit on Edgar's lap until the next person is dared. At this point everyone had to choose dare or double dare because majority from the last round chose truth. Her mom thought Edgar and I were dating so it was too awkward. Since it was my turn, I asked AJ to kiss any girl in the room for about 5 seconds. He was too shy and had to wait a bit after we were constantly interrupted by Nicole's Lola. He rushed to me and gave me a quick kiss. I was surprised and somehow blushed. People were like 'AWWWW ABBY!' Oh gosh...-_- Edgar was asked which girl from the room that he thought was cute or he started to like. I wasn't paying attention and someone said it was me when he pointed. I was like 'what happened?' OMG, AJ gave Nathan a lap dance just for laughs and it was getting too sexual. We had to shut the door and windows so none of Nicole's parents can see. Everyone backed away and continued laughing. Now I wonder if AJ has some weird fantasies or something. Nathan somehow fell asleep on the table and it was time for the guys to go. Everyone tried waking him up, but nothing worked. The only thing we felt that would really wake him up was to carry him outside and push him off the table. Now I know that would be messed up, but damn it the guy is tall and heavy! Unfortunately, Nathan woke up and was like 'what the hell are you guys doing?!' All the guys but Christian left and all girls who stayed for the sleepover changed to our PJs. We slept in the living room, ate leftover food from the party, played DDR, Guitar Hero, and Super Smash Bros. Some watched 23 with Jim Carrey as the main character. I fell asleep right away and was later told Christian was playing with my hand. I was dead asleep according to Krista. I guess I was really tired afterall.

Around 9 a.m, everyone was awake and we chit chatted. We were told to clean up, get dressed, and eat out at the city buffet. Kim was helping me getting my hair done while some were sitting around or were showering. It was 1 pm when we departed from Nicole's house to the buffet. As we got there, there were way too many people, even the rude ones that were cutting. I had about 2 rounds and an ice cream cone. Everyone was stuffed. My dad called and said I have to get my stuff ready so he can pick me up. We all headed back to Nicole's place and waited for my dad's arrival. I was continuing with my ghost storie from the Philippines to Jasmin and Kim. They were freaked out about the events that occurred. My dad finally arrived and I quickly gave everyone a hug and left. Kim suggested we should hang out again by the time I visit Oxnard soon. I'm so down for that! Dad and I went to the outlet for some shopping. Turns out there wasn't really anything to buy, well for my dad at least. We saw some of my relatives and my godfather along with this couple whom is a friend of my relatives. We stopped by Pacsun to look around for anything on sale and such. I wanted to get two jeans and two t-shirts, but the line was too long and my dad was getting tired. We decided to come back later. On our way back to LA, I fell asleep in the car while my aunt, lolo and my dad spoke about a lot of things. My stomach was hurting for some reason. Maybe it's the buffet or it's just cramps. We dropped off my aunt and lolo before we headed home. Now I'm waiting for the closing ceremony for the Olympics to come on. Whew...what a long blog. I had to include all of this :]

Skypeme game anyone? I missed you guys!
