So I started typing this entry Monday night but got tired& went to bed. So it's now Wednesday and still not done. Oh wells, here it is anyways.
"It's about 11:30pm and Jay Leno's about to start, but I'll just do this anyway.
Firstly, I had a realllly long weekend.
Lemme start off with Friday.
School didn't feel like such a drag because we were going over Chapter 20, the Reproductive System. There was one section where Dr Hany started talking about circumcision. I couldn't help but cringe when he went into specific details about the procedure. And did you know that the gunk that accumulates between the head and foreskin is because of some gland? And that the older you are, the harder the procedure is? I was glad that I got it when I was about 11. I can't begin to imagine getting the procedure now, how horrible that experience would be.
Anyways, I decided to go get some La Estrella after school. Actually, I made my final decision after some idiot almost hit me while switching lanes. I was on lane next to the fast lane on the 210W, just passed Pasedena, when some subaru recklessly switches lanes. My front bumper was right next to his rear windows when I see him start to move toward my car without hesitation. I immediately step on the brakes and push hard on the horn. I was on the brakes for a good 2 seconds. If I didn't brake like I had, he would have for sure hit me. I thought to myself, WTF!? WTF is your problem!? It's called CHECKING YOUR BLIND SPOT! He managed to completely destroy my calmness while I was driving. I sped up , switched lanes, and thought about confronting him but I decide to just speed by, passing him.
I was Pretty pissed off, but managed to cool down with a carne asada burrito con todo from La Estrella & iced black tea from Starbucks :D"
So everything about this sentence, meaning ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ was written Monday night.
Anyways, our last quiz for A&P(Anatomy& Physiology) is tomorow, Thursday.
& no school on Friday because it's Good Friday(one good thing bout having a Catholic Filipina as our school president :D)
Also, super excited for this weekend, family's going to El Paso, Texas.
woohooooo! Hello white girls! ...uhh I mean driving at least half of that 13hr roadtrip -_-

Family
My condolences to the Libramonte family for the loss of a loved one.
Made me think about my family and how long it's been since I've actually seen any of my blood relatives. I was fortunate enough to see and spend time with cousins Ate Tin & Pen when they had a mini vacation and came here back in October for Eunice's debut. I was also fortunate enough to see another cousin Kuya Carlo when he was here in the states for business back in Summer of 08'. Spent a couple of hours with him when his flight had a layover in LAX. Made me think about when my grandma from my mom's side died a few years back. My mom was devastated, and it really hit us hard. The worst thing was that she couldn't even go back to the Philippines for the funeral. Made me think about how long our family has been apart from relatives in the Philippines. The last time I saw cousins, aunties, uncles, and grandparents was way back in 2002 when we went to the Philippines before we moved here to LA.
When we lived in Singapore, we were separated from family in the Philippines but we would go back and forth for vacations and sometimes our grandparents would even stay with us for awhile. I guess it was easier back then because Singapore was only a 3 hour flight from the Philippines. Ever since we moved to California, my dad was the first one who was able to go back. He would go back almost every year since 2004 for our yearly mission trips and what not. My mom was finally able to go back with my dad in back in 2008. That leaves us 4 kids. We haven't seen our cousins, aunties, uncles, and the 2 remaining grandparents we have left. We never had the chance to meet our mom's dad, He went home long before any of us were born, before my parents were even married.
I miss my relatives. But I'm very thankful for all the people in my life. I'm thankful for Hope For The World where I've met people that I can consider family. I thank God for providing me with people that I can look up to. I'm thankful for friends, real friends that stick with me through it all. I'm thankful for all the love that I've felt throughout the years.
I am thankful for famILY.

Inspiration
So I started following a certain friend's blog.
Read& skimmed through a number of entries, found it really interesting.
So now this is the start of my attempt to keep an Updated blog.
I shall try my best to actually update lol.
Just a recap of my day.
Left my house with the sun up high& got home with it setting.
Alot of driving& waiting.
Drove about 100miles going all over LA county.
LA traffic really really sucks.
That is all.
