First week of my last summer ever

from outside yogurtland

Im done with school. undergraduate studies at least. its still unreal. probably will feel more real when the fall comes.

senior show was pretty epic. i was awake since 6am doing last minute stuff and it was non-stop till i got home at around 2am. graduation was sunny and happy. my grad party was chill and we watched black on black crime (UFC fight) and i drank so much beer.

had my first most laziest day ever on sunday. and ran 3.75 miles straight. first time ever running that far on my own. i still cant believe i did it and im proud of myself.

monday was memorial day. bbqed at mark's house. and had hella corn with coconut milk. deliciouzzzzz. visited alexars at work and chilled at my house for a bit before going to eric's bbq. played pool and watched beer pong. then ended the night with lakeview terrace. and i kept on thinking it was terrance and not terrace. haha. creepy movie tho, but hella nice house!

tues i got to see heather yee. got some milk tea and walked around oakridge. then i got to visit ger and my poor xyden with chicken pox. went running a mile and chilled at home.

wed i slept a lot. like so much. i was so tired and my room was hot. got to get froyo with victor and get my baking on. i had food network fever so i made a whole bunch of cheesecake (pineapple, oreo, and chocolate chip cookie bottom) and muddy buddies. muddy buddies are ridiculously addicting. good thing i didnt make 9 cups of it.

thurs mark tried my pineapple cheesecake and gave it 2 thumbs up, makes me happy, i didnt know how it would turn out and i didnt even get to try it before him. i caught the travel bug while looking up vacations. i visited schools and dropped off cheesecake to people. later on i went to lorenzos and ran with him and miljean then we went on and made a yearbook for her coworker. getting my craft on was tiring but fun still.

tomorrow morning im going to have a good breakfast and go to my internship (which i havent been to in almost 2 weeks). then after im going to happy hour with some peoples and maybeeee subZero downtown.

this weekend is also jam-packed with activities and events. not too shabby for the first week of summer huh? catch up on sleep, hang out with people i havent seen in a minute, with some QT time to boot. not bad at all.

i hate it when i lose my chapstick

seriously. i should just buy like emergency packs of chapstick. dry lips are like the worst feeling ever. EVER!!

im up because i was working on stuff and plus i took like my usual 3 hour nap in the late afternoon. GEEZE i hate that i nap so long. what a waste of my day!! i hope i can get over this nap thing and just stay busy but not be drowsy.

anyways this weekend was quite eventful. if this is a preview of whats to come this summer then i am excioteeedd to the max.

just to sum it up a bit:

sat:
Z-car run through lake berryessa + napa. went to winters, ca and had some breakfast at putah creek cafe. pretty good hefty california omelete i had. nom nom nom. took motion sickness medicine for the first time! it worked, but not on my full tummy. but overall napa was beautiful and it was a fun ride. got to meet cool people and go somewhere ive never been before. but next time i go to napa, i wanna go to wineries for sure!! *hint hint*

watched how to lose a guy in 10 days. still love that movie. still cracks me up.

went to another delgado family party. those kids are fun and wild. gonna be crazy when theyre all old enough to go clubbin.

sun:
lunch @ falafel drive in. banana chocolate shake was so yummmzors

took a nap then went to coleman plaza target + boredom at world market. bought some beer and blue corn chips w/ flaxseed + cheese dip!

golf range with noel, daniel, tony, mariel, and mark

then off to my house to have my pre-graduation party - party bc these fools will all be in vegas. just chilled ate some pizza and played power hour.

today was a regular work day. it was so cold i wanted udon for lunch so mark took me to japan town to cure my craving. worked on my last undergraduate final and fixed up one of my boards. gonna get some stuff done tomorrow morning so i dont have to worry about it on wed. a couple more days, finish up business with idso, and ill be good. travel plans are coming up soon, and just in time to get re-inspired.

mirror mirror on the Z..

a taste of summer

i am glad i finished my project early. feels good not to have any homework to stay up late for and i can just stay up late because i want to and not because i have to.

i had a small taste of how summer is going to be like. i cant wait! i almost forgot how it felt, to be lazy and to not do anything and to get hot in the car and hot just sitting in my room and to be able to not wear a sweater for the entire day.

i technically have 6 actual days of instruction left. im supposed to have class on wed but im going to go watch Conan, and Thursday i have a furlough which leaves tomorrow (1) next week (+4) and Monday the 17th (+1) = 6 more days!

what i have left to do:

Market Cafe Group Presentation
Green Expo Power point
Singapore Green Practices Power point
Fix my portfolio/business cards/senior boards
1 more quiz
1 take home final
5 quick article summaries
Idso re-election
senior show stuff

then im done, son.

on a side note today was my first time trying to learn how to drive a stick shift. on another note today is eric's birthday.
ok thats all goodnight.

EXIT SJSU..

food network kind of day

it was my first time cooking a lot of things today, and im proud of myself! this included: grilled rib eye steak with a dry rub, grilled portobello mushrooms with provolone cheese, making my own raspberry vinaigrette, and tempura mushrooms!

im always thinking "in the summer im going to do this.." but in reality, i wont really have summer vacations anymore! so maybe i should start saying "after i graduate, im going to ..."

WEIRD! haha

but for now here is a list of things that im planning on doing after i graduate:

- cook something new once a week. i know how to cook and how to bake, its just i never really had to do it, because most my life ive been spoiled with my parents cooking. but alas, i cant depend on their food forever, so i should practice my skills in the kitchen.

- have more dog time.

- exercise more often. (aka more hiking, more biking, more tennis, more running, more dancing, and learning more sports)

- get into the habit of packing my own lunch instead of eating out all the time.

- finish some of my old craft projects. and learn new things.

- work on my portfolio + enter into some design competitions.

and the hardest thing of all...
- get a job i enjoy.

whoop. all about goals. it never ends. haha.

haha. whatevs.

its almost done

i cant believe i have 4 weeks of class left. and 42 days until graduation. pretty insane.

2 weeks of asia flew by real quick. and its already been almost 2 weeks since ive been back. ever since i came back i have been pretty overwhelmed with things to do and to catch up with. but im happy. im still growing and still learning and i am thankful everyday for all the blessings God has bestowed on me. im surrounded by loving people and happy babies and people who support me and want to see me succeed. i am healthy and am soon going to be a college graduate. i am still young and vibrant and full of ideas and determination. i just need to keep that in mind and not fall into the trap of being "stressed out".

im too blessed to be stressed. thats forreal.

geeze

i keep forgetting that im not going to be here for 2 weeks.

as of right now its already saturday. technically im leaving tomorrow night. omgosh. im not even ready. im so tired too. hopefully i can catch up on all my lack of sleep on the plane. cross my fingers for little turbulence.

ive never gone traveling far without my family before so its going to be interesting for sure. i guess i keep forgetting that im leaving because ive never just went somewhere far in the middle of a semester. on another note, packing and doing laundry is so boring. i wish it could do itself. and i would like to have transportation powers, that way i could skip the whole 15 hour flight thing, and my power would include that i can take whoever with me, as long as theyre holding my hand or something. that would be cool. it would be like "hey what r u doing tomorrow?" "i dont know, i was feeling like going to greece for lunch" "ok cool!" whoooooooooooooooop. (because thats the noise that tele-transportation would make. i swear.)

today was pretty good. internship is chill and had a beer at work. got to have lunch with my favorite in the park. it was a gorgeous day outside. hung out with miljean at her bday party too for a bit. but i still got a lot to do and not that much time. so tomorrow i gotta get as much done as possible. i really dont wanna worry about anything while im away.

time to sleep now. im pretty tired.

Xyden

today is Xyden Tyler Romis Le's birthday. it was a pretty interesting day to say the least.

went to SF for a lighting class. it was pretty boring to say the least. and i hate how parking costs an arm and a leg. at least there was free breakfast, and we didn't have to pay for the class. i doodled a lot too. i havent really done "bored in class" doodling for a while. it was fun.

after the class we headed over to Japan Town in SF. it was mine and romina's first time going there. it was pretty cool and reminded me of parts of Japan a lot. had some sushi for lunch and walked around the indoor/outdoor shopping area. got a cool pen and $1 paper. we were going to go to our tour but we were already late and we couldnt find the tour or parking so we headed back to San Jose because I had class.

After class I got to see baby Xyden and his proud parents. i think this is the very first time i really ever remember being at the hospital when someone had a baby (besides my little brother). it was pretty surreal and i couldnt even imagine how it would feel like to have a baby. Xyden is so cute and makes funny faces. He is probably going to grow up really fast. Its just crazy how time goes by and things change so much. So happy for their little family.

On a side note i got this message from sjsu saying i got accepted onto the Dean's List. i am pretty happy about it but i am waiting till i get my official invitation for sure. I mean i was .5 GPA points away, so i wonder if they round up.

I cant believe its already halfway through March. In 5 days ill be on my way to Asia and i havent even started doing my laundry or packing yet. When i come back from Asia, another baby will be on his way and i will have less than 2 months of school left. its unreal forreal. theres a lot to do in so little time. but i gotta handle it. in the meantime i am enjoying life as much as possible and taking things one day at at a time. i am truly blessed.

anyways, happy St. Patricks day. i remember when i would forget to wear green on this day and i would pretend my undies were green so they wouldnt look or i would color green marker on myself so i wouldnt get pinched. haha.
