Drumming my own drums.

my 21st birthday! :)

thanks to everyone who came and made my day so special :) haha. im usually not the type who makes birthdays a big deal but i have to say this was the first birthday i’ve celebrated with multiple people in a very long time. the last time was prolly like in elementary school when we used to invite the whole class LOL  i woke up that day and had sweets for breakfast and birthday noodles for lunch. then i browsed and shopped online for a bit. went to get my hair done. turned out to be a complete fail and i looked like a poodle. “you look like you’re from the 60s!”- mickey. anyways afterwards, went to get my nails done. then spent a lot of time filling out comcast papers. got dressed. picked up gretch, nabila and teef then went to 21 club! i had lots of fun and as nabila puts it, it seemed like it was also my MOM’S special day, haha. (she had more fun than me)


Just because. This time waster deserves its own post :)

FLASHBACKS PART 1

okay there were like 6 diary-days i had wanted to write about, but didnt have time to (but i noted it down on my planner). so now imma write a bit about what happened each day.

April 6, 2012: ACE Fashion Show
 
Mickey works at brooks brothers, so she got vip tickets to see a student-club fashion show at NYU. it was pretty awesome. we got to sit right up front where the walkway is and we had our special goody bags. its one of the “biggest” fashion shows at NYU, and i have to admit, it was pretty fun! the models actually looked like..models. i was wondering if they had gone on a super strict diet just for this, cus they were like stick skinny! and at the fashion show, there were a lot of other clothing brands and sponsors. during the whole thing, they had a couple raffles, and i won an xbox! haha :D it was like the grand prize, and i was so surprised i won. every time a person won something, they wud jump up and down, and after they called my number i was just like “…me…!” in the quietest voice possible. then there was some delay because the models werent ready. there was awkward silence and someone in the back yells “WHO WON THE XBOX?!?!” hahhaa

April 10, 2012: Gotham Comedy Club
so again, since Mickey works at brooks brothers, she got free tickets to see a comedy club from one of her clients. LOL. and the show starts late- 10pm, so we decided to sleepover at one of my friend’s place. her apartment is like 2 STEPS away from the club. i was so blown away! even though we got free tickets, there’s a bit of a catch..everyone who goes to the club has to drink a MINIMUM of 2 DRINKS PER PERSON!!!! i was like what?!?!?! and every drink was so expensive! we just ordered soda and water and the waitress was like “i’ll just allow this. for you guys!” cus apparently it had to be alcohol or something. but it was like $5/drink. so expensive! the show itself was okay. like 10 comedians or so came on. some were funny, some weren’t. and i felt so bad for the people sitting up front, because the comedians always picked on them. there were these 2 guys sitting right up front at their own table, and like…it was kinda obvious they were gay. and one of the comedians was using them constantly as a joke. and at the end, the guy goes “i’m not gay” but then i was talking to my friends afterwards, and they said the guy prolly lied just to show the comedian don’t judge. but it was sooooo awkward and embarrassing. i felt so so bad for them!

the sleepover was fun! the next day we made guacamole and ate chips and watched smash, haha.

April 19, 2012: Waffle & Dinges & TASS 
that day, there were like 5 food trucks parked outside NYU. if you had an iphone, or ipad or any smart device, you cud download this application…i forgot what it was called. fondue? or something, get a code, show the guy, and get free food! we got the invite on facebook awhile, and i was gonna bring my ipad so mickey cud get free food, but we totally forgot. anyways, i ended up getting waffle and dinges, nat got some chinese food? and ej got waffles too. but then..i had this brilliant idea! i deleted the app on my phone, installed it again, created a new username, and got a new code!!! WAHHAHAHAH :D so then mickey got free food too!!! haha.

then later on that night, there was a TASS thing, which is like a taiwanese night market. i’ve always heard about it, but never went for some reason…but i really wanted to go at least once! at first it was a bit awkward cus it was just me and mickey and there were sooo many people and we didnt know what to do with ourselves. but then later on a couple friends joined us and it got funner! there was a ton of food, and like carnival-like games. we didnt want to play in the beginning, but later on we got into it because turns out if you win the game, you get a raffle ticket. the grand prize was an ipad! so after we found that out, mickey and i went to play like every game haha. for participating in the game, you get a raffle ticket too, but those tickets are used to trade in for prizes. only if you win do you get the real real raffle ticket. 

we didnt win anything from the raffle. but we got a couple prizes from the trade-in. this guy who i’ve been mini crushing/long story won, but i think he cheated -___- cus he was the last person to put his tickets in, and he had like a whole roll!!!!!! and its impossible because you only get a ticket when you win a game. and theres only like…10 games to play. so yes. he cheated.

the one thing i was really surprised about was when I won was the beer pong game LOL i have horrible aim, and mickey kept missing and i kept missing. and then the girl in charge said to continue playing until someone gets it in. (we were playing together). so then i say “thats gonna be impossible. we’re gonna be here for a looong time” and right after i said that, i got it in hahahaha :P

My Domo collection hahaha

My Domo collection hahaha

a lot

a lot has been going on in my life. there were lots of moments that happened, that i wish i could document, but everything was a blur. everytime i was online i felt guilty, and thought i should be making better use of my time and applying for jobs or internships. and i’m happy to say i’ve got an internship for this summer, so i can finally loosen up a bit!

i guess when i have time later on in the week, i will go back and write about my days. even though it wont be the right date, it wud still be nice to look back and read about the memories.

anyways, i’m so excited. i REALLY think my family is going to get a siberian husky. its not 100%, but close. i’m so excited for my baby! i’m going to take videos, pictures, everything. imma go all out. i’m even going to take training classes. i am determined to train this puppy! i’ve been doing so much research, research an 8 year old would have never done. my parents always blame me for not taking care of my old dog, but i was 8 years old! i didnt know google. i didnt know how to “train” or teach him “tricks.” BUT ITS ALL GONNA CHANGE THIS TIME! he’ll be the smartest husky you’ll ever meet. i guarantee it!

summer goals: internship, pilates, driving classes, fishing trip, train doggy :)

TO THE COOLEST BIRTHDAY CARD EVER!!!!! hehehe :D

Thanks nabila! 

RIP Grandma

so..my grandma passed away on may 15. she’s been in the hospital for almost 2 weeks, and its kinda sad cus i still remember asking my dad “do you think she’s gonna make it through?” and he said “yeah of course!” my grandma’s always been in the hospital, but its usually a 1-2 night thing, and she comes out fine, and everything is fine. 

i cudnt visit her, cus i was still really sick and coughing a lot, but i finally visited her last sunday, mother’s day. and i cudnt help but cry when i saw her…the scariest thing is watching someone die in front of your eyes and there’s nothing you can do about it.

she was finally moved to a hospice, and her condition got really bad. she went into a coma, and the doctor said water was getting into her heart and brain. and in my head, i cudnt help but think, oh no my dad didnt even get a chance to say goodbye.

my grandma has always been this person in my life, who i always thought wud always be there. she’s 95 years old. my mom says its a happy funeral, and i can see that. and i cant help but throughout this whole time, flashback to what happened when my dog passed away. its so true though. things in life happen unexpectedly. she seemed fine in the beginning of the week, and with no warning whatsoever, before you know it, she was gone. we gotta appreciate life and the people around us every day.

ramblings

wow..been so busy. havent been going on tumblr in like forever. im scared that if i start looking at my dashboard, i won’t stop. cus usually i stop scrolling when i recognize the posts that i’ve looked at before. but the last time i’ve been on my dashboard was weeeeeeeks ago, so i know it wud just be endless scrolling and scrolling and scrolling..
