i worked last friday, so it was absolute death. i didn't go to bed until 1:30 and had to wake up at 5. aly took me to the airport and my ears absolutely hurt on the plane. but seeing the sun rise into beautiful southern california took my breath away. the surprise remained a surprise until the very last second when lindsey accidentally chose the wrong words and my brother found out it was me he was picking up at the airport!
i gave lindsey her birthday present: a ring with her name on it, the "i" dotted with a heart. then when we got back to norwalk, i made my brother pull over the car so i could give him his belated birthday present: all nine seasons of his favorite television sitcom, Everybody Loves Raymond.
then i surprised my parents and we went out to breakfast. i went to Target, which i had missed desperately in Frisco because the closest one is 9 miles away! Driving isn't that bad, but when you have to take public transportation everywhere, it's awful.
i got my hair cut at regis at the mall and i didn't know it was breast cancer awareness "clips for the cure" day! all cuts were $15. i love mine and desperately needed it.
i never realized how expensive diapers are! I bought some for my cousin Anna, the mother-to-be. I went to her house to her baby shower and I got to reunite with all of my cousins, the next Ramos generation of terrors.
afterwards, i went to my sharty Roselin's house and we had a joyous reunion. we got ready and planned our surprise visit to Maggie. We picked her up, got limes and churros at lbtc, and headed over to Food 4 Less like old days to meet up with Andrea. We hustled a guy into buying us Popov, and he got it for us for free! How sweet of him.
we headed to BlowUpLA and basically, my patron days are over for a while. it was quite a night. i passed out in my bed.
woke up the next morning to take the thrivas home. had breakfast with my SO REAL CRU! went to lunch at Pinoy Pinay with Nestor and Adelia. picked up Andrea at Carlos's house. went to Del Amo Mall with Nilo and Lindsey. went to lunch at Kabuki with Star, Monica, and Maria. sang at the 5. got IN N' OUT. Headed to Long Beach Airport and my flight was delayed an hour and a half. i fucking hate jet blue. and stupid idiotas who decide to get off the plane. i arrived at SFO at 10:30, didn't get back to my dorm or my roommate's loving arms by 12. showered and passed out.
DIDN'T GO TO CLASS ALL DAY. slept all day. ate and slept again. watched TV, went to Gospel Choir, and now, here I am, scheduling my flight home for Christmas and watching Gossip Girl.
this was the best weekend ever. as exhausting as it was, i needed it. i realized how homesick i am, but i got over it. my heart will forever be in love with L.A.
isn't it funny and sad how you know someone is playing you for a fool, yet you let them do it anyway?
WHATEVER.
anyway, can't wait for Whitney Port's new show, The City. she's way better than Lauren Conrad any day.
see you at Thanksgiving. even you, you bastard. if you're lucky.
