MLK Day Weekend

This 3 day weekend has been one interesting one. I went over to Nicole's house for the night and chilled with her, Edgar and Ian. We cruised around Oxnard while helping Nicole looking for Abercrombie & Fitch clothes for her job. I gotta admit, going into the store with that oh so sweet smell gives you wonders :P Then we were deciding what restaurant to eat, which took almost an hour to figure out. We finally decided to eat at some Japanese restaurant. That place has some bombass food. I'll post some photos later.

The next day, I went over to the Sinulog fiesta and spent some time with relatives. Later during the day, few of my cousin and I decided to hop on Asian Horror Movie sites and watched a few films. One moment totally made me LOL was when my cousin was behind us while watching the first film. As paranoid as I was, I would turn around and look to see if anyone was there. At first, no one was until a few minutes later where I see someone dressed in black standing there. I yelled out 'GUYS, TURN AROUND! SOMEONE'S BEHIND US!' A lot of screams were taken place and my ateh comes up to check up on what went on. Turns out, my cousin was trying to see what we were watching, but how he was just standing there freaked me out. A little embarrassed, I actually needed that scream. HA.

On MLK Day, I went on a fieldtirp with KYCC/YDAPP at Pasedena's Ice Skating rink. I learned to ice skate for the first time in my life. Yeah I need to get out and explore a little more.

It was so much fun, despite the fact that one too many people were falling on ice. Haha, seriously it was kinda painful watching them fall, but I had my share of that pain when I fell. My fall was actually a nasty one. I was playing broom ball with another group of team. Just when I was going to hit the ball with the stick, I somehow fell backwards, but managed to fall on my right side. I was expecting to fall eventually anyway considering how slippery the ice was.

Then we chilled, ate Little Caesars, and went on the ice to skate. I was too paranoid to skate around since it was my first time ice skating. I know that it's the same as roller blading, but I haven't been doing so in years. So it was more of a start over kind of thing. Took a while to get the hang of it and my feet were killing me. I kept going on the side every 5 minutes to rest and go back out there again. Ernie took plenty of kodak moment photos. LOL, I wonder how it turned out. Hm...

After that, KYCC employees passed out ice cream and got on the bus back to LA. Ernie was interviewing YDAPP members who showed up regarding the progress at the program. During the interview, he wanted us to be honest on our answers and that's when I pretty much told what went on my mind. I felt it was a bit of a complaint, but more focused on what the program needs to improve and all. I'm glad Ernie wasn't offensive, but he was comprehensive on what our view was.

As we arrived back to KYCC, Ernie dropped me off home. I hopped on Skype and talked to both Arren and Chris. I decided to watch Asian horror films with them. So we ended up watching 3 movies, one of them included Jana in the call. It was entertaining [Mhmm Nurse.] Paul called me twice during the day and we spoke for a good while. As usual, he and I insulted each other, but I guess that's how we show our 'love' for one another.

Today is officially the day where Obama is going to be inaugurated into office. I hope he'll do his best for the good of this country and what not. I really do regret not voting on November 4, but I am glad that I witnessed the historical event everyone will never forget. I have hopes for this man. I know we may not get this economic crisis solved sooner, but on the long run it'll eventually simmer down. I'm going to hate the increase of tuition costs.

My arm still hurts from that fall. Ugh, I need an ice pack. It's been hurting for hours now. Geez...I hate that fall.
