disappointment filled with adventures :)

this week..

i guess i could say its been pretty dang disappointing. 

it sucks when you make plans

for almost about 

EVERYDAY

this week and 

failed 

EVERYDAY!

being back home 

was exciting.!

i mean i get to be with 

people i've loved for more than 6 weeks :)

buut nothing went the way i wanted it to.

mostly i blame it on the fact that i didn't have my car..!

i hate that my car was parked in california for

a stupid whole 

MONTH!

 (thank to dad being in El Salvador for a month)

here is how it went down:

monday:

i had no plans therefore, i did nothing. :)

tuesday:

i had plans with liz jones!!

she is diseased, soo she bailed out on me.. :(

*tuesday, i was saved from my misery from tyler and georgie! :D that was great! we later met up with syd, annelise, lindsey and catalina :) that was fun :)

park with tyler and georgie then we went to syd's backyard :)

wednesday:

i had plans to watch SYTYCD with

annelise, dac and syd.

FAILED.

then we planned for afterwards buut,

i lived too far away for anyone to pick me up..

(its not like i live in SLC people!!)

thursday:

plans with emily and david.

they were going to pick me up

to party in slc. 

i knew that was going to be hard,

so i knew things were going

to not go as planned...

friday:

(the only day that worked out as planned..)

babysat with ash.

went out to lunch with 

annelise, syd, dac and catalina. (tyler joined us afterwards)

visited liz jones with tyler.

mo mo :) 

friendships.

i wanted to come home today

to write about my week..

but then things happened.

awesome things.

things that happen when you 

truly care.

and now,

i do not want to write about my week.

i want to write about friendships. 

the friendships you have with people.

with those special people.

the ones you know that will stick around.

i love the love you can feel towards someone.

not "in love" love 

but 

love.

the strong kind.

it leads you to say things

that could only be explained 

as the Holy Ghost.

i love this gospel.

i LOVE the gospel. 

i love my friend.

i will leave it at that. 

thank you, tyler!

regarding my summer..

this summer has been fun :)

filled with 

lots and lots

of 

homework...

documentary..

mo's spicy chicken dance

if you read my last post

"hot chick... :D"

you would know 

i danced after eating 

a HOT piece of chicken...

steph took a video

aand

here it is:

mo's spicy chicken dance

hot chick.. :D

geoff chau.
he likes to laugh.
he likes HOT chicken wings.

david castaneda.
he doesn't like hot stuff.
he likes food.

mo laguan.
he likes to dance.
he also likes food.

ivette aguillar.
she likes challenges.
she's really nice.

stephanie cardernas.
she has entertaining friends.
she's a bit smarter than her friends.

story time.

thursday night. the students in building 810 at the University of Utah have nothing to do. geoff, in desperation for amusement, whips out a handy dandy weapon of mass entertainment. HOT chicken wings! and when i say HOT i mean HOT! so hot the smell of this chicken burned your BRAIN! not only that, but it looked like molten lava from satan-land!

in his search for a victim, geoff runs into an innocent group of friends; mo, david, ivette, and stephanie. as the group of friends play along doing flips and such things geoff begins to challenge david. not afraid of geoff's challenge david accepts to eat this chicken from satan-land.

giving into second thoughts david reaches into the box. looking deeply into the chicken and then to his friends he inhales aaand begins devour the small piece of chicken. as he finishes his friends cheer him on while geoff is laughing his head off at the stupid mistake david just committed. two seconds pass when all of a sudden you hear a loud "AHH!!"

david frantically runs straight to the first water source he can find to calm the BURNING sensation off his mouth. he gets to his room and with his sauce filled hands and rubs his face without giving it second thought. and almost immediately discovers that he could have just made the stupidest mistake of his life.

david's results: burnt face and mouth. aand a mild case of humiliation.

geoff was now looking for his new victim. mo. witnessing what just happened with david, no way mo was up for the challenge. not until his trusty buddy ivette cheered him on to do it! feeling motivated, mo accepted with one condition: ivette ate part of his chicken wing. thinking it various times ivette eventually accepted. as mo reached into this box of horror he could feel the sauce-drenched chicken burning his fingers. he then ripped two small pieces, one for ivette and the other for himself. counting to three both mo and ivette started to chew down this small but deadly piece of chicken. ivette immediately feels the effects and runs to her room as if she was running a marathon! mo, on the other hand not feeling the effects as much, feels brave enough to eat the rest of the chicken wing.

slowly eating the chicken wing down to bare bone mo exhales. relieved that the worst was over... or so he thought. a couple of minutes later his eyes started to water, his nose started to run, and all he wanted to do was dance..?! he recklessly but gracefully started to dance around in extreme anxiety as he thought that dancing through his ferocious pain would somehow make it stop! while all this was happening again geoff was laughing hysterically at what mo was doing. minutes passed and mo could not handle the feeling of a million suns in his mouth and soon followed both david and ivette's footsteps to the water fountain. quickly getting a drink he then runs straight to his room and washes his hands twice to wash his face off and blow his nose! feeling that the worse was over, mo came out of his room to find that all of his friends were astonishingly laughing at the fact that david, ivette and mo ate that chicken!

ivette's results: burnt mouth.

mo's results: burnt mouth, humiliation because of snot bubble and increased dancing skills.

moral of the story: geoff is satan. and when satan comes along and offers you a HOT chick you be like stephanie and run like you've never before. because satan is a [profanity word].

the end.

spoken word.

our activity tonight was..
LEGIT.
we had these people
come and explain to us
Spoken Word.
pretty much an awesome
form of art :)

they had us write something...
nothing special but significant.
my topic was best friends....
this is what i wrote...

are you really my friend?
sayin' you love to spend time with me but hating the one i love.

telling me that work isn't work when you're with your "best friend"
Best Friends..?
now claiming you don't have any because i betrayed

betrayal.
i felt betrayed from you.
telling me you love her when all you do is bash on her..
she did nothing to you!
nothing to deserve your hate.
she did nothing but try to gain your friendship for ME!
and while i took no side i was blinded.
blinded by what i thought was a FRIENDSHIP.

but now i see who you really are.
nothing.
nothing to me
nothing to her
only one word to describe you
only one word needed:
NOTHING.

its kinda lamee
but i just had to let my feelings out.
i did.
aannd now i feel better.
:D

goal for this weekend: no drama down in orem. for suree! :) haha :) i love my friends and i do not want contention with them. sooo i won't do anything to start any fight. i lovee my life and i love this college and everything i've learned here. :)

on another note fiesta was a success :) i had funn and thanks to all who came, no hard feeling marcela and mariana :)

the new begining :)

college.. yeahh i can do that :)

my absolute new life called college is pretty much the greatest thing that could have happened to me right now :) there are many reasons why people should go to college... let me name a few..

• girls :)
• education
• social aspect (with girls)
• no parents!
  
• room to my-freaking-self
• i tend to to the stuff my parents ask me to do without my parents :D

sooo college is like high school but a million times better! as i walk down this beautiful campus i can only barf at the thought that i used to walk down one lamee hall to get to all my classes. ooh and if you thought you have liberty in high school (you know the whole driving your car out to lunch) no that is not liberty THIS is liberty :D

anywhoo enough with school.. how about the new friendss haha. well they're cool. still miss my old buddies but that okay :) anywayss, i promise to get better at writing more interesting stuff. i swear! my new writing class will sure help haha. i've already learned that i can exress my life through writing :)
