Friendship Games
Hmm, I have no idea what to say. I can't really put into words how fun Friendship Games was. There are some really, really crazy people in PCE but I hella love it. It makes you feel comfortable doing hella stupid stuff at Friendship Games because you know everybody else is doing crazy stuff to win SPUF. But anyways, this year's theme was Old People Party (OPP). Some of the guys shaved part of their heads so it looked like they were balding. haha We also pimped out a wheel chair by hooking up some speakers and adding a sub to that back. I gotta admit that I wasn't really feeling our theme when they first told us but after arriving at FG, our theme was pretty unique and everybody seemed to like it. We all woke up at 545am to get ready and line up to check-in. We met at the Home Depot down the street and the workers almost kicked us our because we looked hella shady. haha When we got to CSUF there were already hella schools there and UCSB was going crazy in the parking structure.
Alright, so nothing will ever compare to being at the Warriors playoff game back in '07 but FG was up there. So much anticipation leading up to FG and when it finally comes, you let out all your pent up energy and excitement in one day. haha Who knew cheering until nearly losing your voice is so fun? Anyways, we didn't do so well in the games. 4th in Groundhog, didn't even finish the Nasty, DQed in Tidal Wave, and I don't even know about Conveyor Belt and Alpine Green. haha Yup, hella sucked at the Games part of FG but were pretty damn good at the Friendship part. haha So many random, stupid, funny cheers and hella fun cheering with other schools. So many random dance parties too. PCE's hella addicted to slow jerkin', Pon de Floor, and the Yes Dance.
It was pretty cool seeing all my friends from back home but I feel bad that I barely spent time with any of them. Sorry =( I'll make it up to you guys Thanksgiving/Christmas Break!
Friendship Games 2010, I'm waiting for you.

There's Nowhere in the World I'd Rather Be
I Came Home (feat. Marsha) | Rhymefest
Damn, this was the best I could do. I couldn't find a better song. But anyways, as much as I'm enjoying SLO, I'd like a little piece of home. I've been gone for exactly one month. Homesick? Maybe. Or maybe is just that I don't really have the option to go home. I have no free weekend until Thanksgiving Break. I'm setting out what I wanted to do back in February though... slowly getting more involved. However, I need to keep school my first priority. I need to step up my game big time in Bio, Engineering Econ, and English. I think I need a pep talk from my grandma. haha I don't understand that much Ilocano but I sure as hell know that "aganawan" means "study hard" because that's all she tells me when I see her. haha
I hella miss my nephews and nieces though. My sister sent me a couple of videos of my two-year-old niece on Sunday and it made me miss all the chubbies. I'm counting down the days til break so I can see them again. (34 days!) Not to mention I miss driving my Civic. Ok, I lie, it's my sister's Civic but it's mine as long as she's in NY. haha I need to get it serviced so I can bring it down to SLO already.
I'm hella excited for so many things right now... Friendship Games, TVSA Revealing, getting a Kuya/Ate for PCE, Thanksgiving, Christmas... Anyways, I'll stop here for now. Definitely not a complete post but I'll put it up anyways.

Pre-blogging
I seriously need to step up my blogging game up. The last time I actually blogged with my own thoughts and sh*t was almost a month ago. I've been on that re-blogging hype, ya know? haha. I hella mindlessly browse through tumblrs during my free time. Pretty lame, I know. Anyways, if you know me, I'm not a person of many thoughts or opinions but there's a lot of things I'd like to blog about. But I don't want to post one very long blog and it always takes me forever to write what I want. I also want to find good songs to blog to. So hopefully I'll be able to pull everything together and blog within the next couple of days.

Live and Learn
I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them. I’ve learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don’t care back. I’ve learned that it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it. I’ve learned that it’s not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts. I’ve learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes, after that, you’d better know something.
I’ve learned that you shouldn’t compare yourself to the best others can do, but to the best you can do. I’ve learned that it’s not what happens to people, it’s what they do about it. I’ve learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides. I’ve learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you’ll see them. I’ve learned that you can keep going long after you think you can’t.
I’ve learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. I’ve learned that there are people, who love you dearly, but just don’t know how to show it. I’ve learned that sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel. I’ve learned that true friendship continues to grow even over the longest distance same goes for true love.
I’ve learned that no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I’ve learned that it isn’t always enough to be forgive by others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. I’ve learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief. I’ve learned that just because two people argue, it doesn’t mean they don’t love each other and just because they don’t argue, it doesn’t mean they do.
I’ve learned that sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions. I’ve learned that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. I’ve learned that no matter the consequences, those who are honest with themselves get farther in life. I’ve learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
I’ve learned that writing, as well as talking, can ease emotional pains. I’ve learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon. I’ve learned that it’s hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people’s feelings and standing up for what you believe. I’ve learned to love and be loved. I’ve learned.

They Say Your Attitude Determines Your Lattitude
I'm High As A Muhf*cka, Fly As A Muhf*cka
Brand New (ft. Kanye West) | Rhymefest
I was going to use this song lyric anyways but I found this quote that my English teacher put on our syllabus pretty fitting. I wanted to use this song just because of the title to commemorate the beginning of a new school year. haha So before I start babbling...
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. The remarkable thing is, we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. We are in charge of our attitudes." ---Charles Swindell
I thought that was a pretty cool quote but anyways this blog's almost a year old. I skimmed though my previous posts to look back on what I blogged about. I'd probably like to set half of them on private just like my xanga. haha In Feb/March I was looking forward to 2nd year. Well, this is it huh? I've learned that "there" is never better than "here." haha jk. There is some truth that when you get to where you want, that will become your "here" and you will have another "there" creating a seemingly insatiable quest for satisfaction, self realization, self betterment, happiness, whatever you'd like to call it. Although this may be a bad thing, isn't life about progress? You gotta keep it moving, complacency leads to a comfort zone/bubble that's hard to burst sometimes. Where am I going with this? IDK, ha. This probably stems through my ambitions to do more this year than frosh year.
I'm still amazed by how fast the first year flew. It feels weird introducing yourself to other people saying that you're a "second year." Dude, I miss first year! Kinda, haha. My apartment's pretty dope though, I must say. Living away from home is especially important for me because I need to learn how to be self-reliant. It'll be interesting to see what this year has in store for me. I need to get back into this blogging game. Cal Poly 09-10, what's up? There's only one thing I want to do...
