hoo boy! i am in computer class right now and i am blogging.
this.
is.
♥ AWESOME. ♥
or maybe not. 'coz i think i'm supposed to be listening. but instead, i've already checked my email, my facebook, and now i'm blogging. ooh, i love blogging.
but anyways. let's see if i can finish this blog in fifteen minutes. or less.
so i've had a really amazing weekend, and it's the awesomest one i've had in a really long time.
friday:
i went to work and then i got to hang out with danny. and then i went on a roadtrip, by myself thank you very much, to woodhaven to hang out with la familia. and i have to say, that was the coolest experience ever. i don't know why people don't like driving. i love, love, LOVE driving. and now that i had my personal roadtrip experience, well, i'm addicted to it. i felt lit those movie plots where i only have just enough cash on me, a small overnight purse, a crappy car with no A/C and a busted radio, plus the fact that it's a really crappy car and i don't know where the effer i'm going. haha. life in the open road is awesome. i got my ipod with me, "singing" at the top of my lungs, with the farms and trees and highway unfolding in front of me. i got such an amazing natural high and adrenaline rush from it that i'm motivated more than ever to save up for a really cool and awesome roadtrip car. secondhand, of course. i'm still rooting for a white honda crv, the old school version. which by the way, is WAY cooler than the new one. (which reminds me of a turtle..) and then i got to woodhaven and i was just lounging poolside while mis hermanas were swimming. and then i was just reading my new book, and playing the ds and the wi. i didn't swim coz i just didn't feel like it. maybe when i'm 30lbs lighter. XD
saturday:
we went home. well, actually it was more complicated than that. my mom, and sister and matthew and i drove to midway, back home, then midway again, and then home sans matthew and soleil. and then danny and i were off to a nice chill dinner out in jimmy's charhouse. (see previous entry for the fight that ensued.) and then we just chilled at my house and watched a movie (matchstick men) while he gave me a massage. XD
sunday:
danny had to go to karate and then to his oh-so-special cabaret cast night out in chicago. so that left me to tend for myself for the rest of the day. so after breakfast with danny, which i made for him, he left. and then i managed to make my day productive to the fullest. i cleaned and redid my room, i did laundry, i cleaned and redid my bathroom, i went shopping for a little bit (shopping therapy for my sitch with gaea, see previous entry.) and then i ate some lunch (chippotle) while watching the second season of will and grace. and then i downloaded some songs from limewire for my ipod (love it!), and i played sims too. haha. and then i invited danny to sleep over because we'll be leaving for chicago early the next day. and this time, i promised no fights. XD
monday: labor day (3rd labor day we went downtown. ♥)
[oops, class is almost over. lemme finish this after class. i'ma just run across the hall to the computer lab. if there's a free computer. XD]
edit:
it's the 3rd of sept, 720a. and i'm blogging before work. i said i was going to finish my blog entry immediately after class yesterday but i got caught up with, uh, going home. so, i'm just gonna finish this up before getting in my car, putting gas in it, and then driving to bowes.
monday: labor day (3rd labor day we went downtown. ♥)
danny and i woke up early-ish. and then we decided to get some breakfast before catching the 955 train, which ended up to be the 1155 train for us. we were gonna get some smoothies at the gay shakes place (i.e. froots smoothies or something like that), but decided on jamba juice instead (yum, love.). so we went to grab bfast at denny's which was like right next door to jamba. it was a nice bfast if not for the, ugh, server we got who was drenched in sweat. i was so afraid it would drip right down to my bfast skillet and water. ewwwww.
and then we drove to national street to catch our train. since we got there early enough, we ended up cleaning danny's windows. apparently, it's my fault for deliberately putting fingerprints and footprints (haha! that was a fun time!) on the insides of his windows and windshield. and then the train came. it was a fun, nice, chillax ride i have to say. i just whipped out my ipod and we started singing and being goofy. we sang tagalog songs, rnb, boybands, disney, and even bubble pop (one love - jordan pruitt). it was interesting to see that a few people who were on the train were drinking already. not interesting that they were drinking, interesting that they were drinking at noon. i mean, just because they're not driving doesn't mean they have to drink (an observation i would soon realize later on in the day) . but then again, i guess it was due to the fact that there was a cubs game, and they were gearing up for it. haha. and then.. we're in chicago!!
i love chicago.
it gives me this adventurous, independent, spontaneous, natural high-y spirit in me. and i love it. the architecture is awesome, the people are most definitely interesting, the food is everywhere, the cars are crazy (well, the drivers are), the weather is always just about right, and art is everywhere.
did i mention i love chicago? <3 style="font-style: italic;">wawa face here] (wawa = pity in tagalog). so danny and i were like, let's just walk around millenium park. we went to the big tent and there was a family fun event thingy sponsored by target and we got free hats that won't even fit our heads, ooh and we learned how to make recycled paper. haha. and then we were walking around some more and there was a concert going on but it was so hot and our legs started sweating uncomfortably from the heat (we were wearing jeans) so we decided to go find a shade somewhere. and then we got to the water place at the millenium park and danny wanted to just make a run around the water, and so we did. i asked him if we're gonna wait for the heavy waterfall and he said no, but when we got th=o that spot, he tried to hold me in place just so i will be the only one getting drenched. AHH!! but then luckily, i grabbed his belt loop and we both got drenched. now we're both soaked with no towels or a change of clothes, thank you very much. so we just grabbed our stuff and decided to stand under the sun and dry off. and then we found a ledge so we can lie down and dry off. so in our damp glory, we lied down and listened to music some more and tooks lots of pictures. ooh, and i made him model for ipod while i take pictures. haha. he's such an actor, really. well, more like a performer/entertainer. but it was fun. XD. and then when we were a bit more dry, we decided we'll walk around and find a place to eat.
we decided to be spontaneous and try something we've never been to before so we walked around and found --> BB restaurant and bar (Beef Brandy). it was a really cool place. very chill, relaxed, quaint, and very private too. we both love the service, the food was good and the prices were not that bad either.
[i gotta go to work, i'll finish this in school after work.]
edit:
it's the 3rd still, and at 6:21pm trying to fnish this blog. i have 39 mins to do so before going to sales class. oh, and while i'm doing this, i'm reading a book for class: dale carnegie's how to win friends and influence people.
.. after BB, we walked around to find a trolley that will take us to navy pier, basically our last destination for the day. we hopped on one and just chilled while enjoying the ride downtown. we got to navy pier and walked straight to the beer garden. there were people dancing on the floor and the band, i guess, wasn't too bad, considering the fact that he looked like a shrunken vin diesel (i.e., haven't worked out in a year or something.) he grabbed a draft and i a margarita and sat down at one of the picnic benches to people-watch. fyi: we love to people-watch. and this instance was a very entertaining one indeed. there was a group of white girls (and blonde too) dancing right up the front by the stage. and needless to say, there was a token white girl who can't dance. and seriously can't dance. it was entertaining. we wanted to look away but there will always be a morbid fascination that people just can't resist to look, well, stare.
after that, we walked back towards the front when we saw the cooler part of the beer garden, where there were beach chairs out where you can just lounge and stuff. and i got a strawberry margarita and he got a strawberry daquiri. i learned something by the way.. strawberry margarita has tequila while strawberry daquiri has rum. hehe. oh, and lime always make the taste of anything better. haha. and danny had to pee so we walked towards the nearest washroom. while i was waiting for him outside, i was reading the timeline of chicago by the stained glass museum area of navy pier, when i started getting tipsy and stuff, and i was like "ooh, fun! drunk in the city!" and then we decided to grab dinner at joe's be-bop cafe. where i had my third drink in the last hour basically for that night: a cosmopolitan. and danny got a long island iced tea. uhm, sorry for the sex and the city fanatics but i guess i'm not going to be a cosmo follower. unless, of course, they made it too strong at joe's. i'm a strawberry margarita girl ♥♥.
oh, well, of coruse we had food also. haha. but i was too dizzy to eat and my stomach was too upset to take in any more stuff. so we ended up taking the rest to go and then after relieving ourselves in the bathroom (meaning to pee, separately, you grossminded people! =D) we hopped on the next bus back to union station.
and thus endeth our 3rd labor day trip to chicago. well, coz we mostly fell asleep on the ride back home.
it was fun. i had a really nice time spending the day downtown with danny, as always. and since we kinda had a bad time in chicago the last time we were there (for the taste if chicago), i promised him that i will make it up to him for labor day. and i did. and we had a really fun time.
*sigh*
i love spending time with danny. adventures, spontaneity, randomness, roadtrips, and whatever. we have fun all the time. because we generally agree on the same things and we are open to doing what the other person wants to do, which basically is the same thing for that person too.
♥ i'm lucky to have him. ♥
jaja
