He's so smooth

I really want to learn this piece. It's been on repeat but I had to stop so I wouldn't get sick of it. How could you though?

Here comes the sun do do do do

Needed a laugh

Things have been kinda rough recently. Just trying to be Miss Brightside without being Miss Naive or Miss In Denial. I found one of my favorite episodes of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Last time I saw this was with Ann. Those were the days. Enjoy.

& because I just can't help myself...

I tried to be nice and leave it alone. To give you the benefit of the doubt. I really don't want to play this game, but I'll take it into consideration if it means putting you in your place. Watch your mouth.

straight.up.now.tell.me

I'd like to think I'm an approachable person. I don't always say what I'm thinking but if something is really bothering me, I'll most likely tell you. I try not to expect too much because with my luck (for lack of a better term), things rarely turn out how I want them to...which is okay. It's not my plan, its about God's plan, right? Right.

That's a semi sugar coated me in a nutshell.

"..bravery and loyalty were second to none."

More than half a century later, Filipino soldiers who fought alongside US troops in World War II are getting compensated. $15,000 to those who are citizens now, $9,000 for those who aren't. Not that money is going to make up for what they went through during and after the war but at least they are finally getting something. Imagine risking your life for a foreign country just to be ignored for 60 years? No health benefits for you or your family. No G.I. bill. Nothing except for discrimination because of the color of their skin.



A couple years ago, I went to a local memorial at Bataan Park in Bremerton to remember those who had fallen during the battle of Bataan, Filipino and Japanese soldiers alike. Among a handful of veterans present were wives and families of soldiers. Its nice to think that the ones I met who still have their uniforms and pride are getting some thanks in return.



President Truman said, "The record of the Philippine soldiers for bravery and loyalty were second to none." Although this is coming from the idiot who ultimately denied them all military benefits, the statement is true.

I suck at blogging.

So I started writing about my President's Day weekend...then stopped? I don't know I wrote in my journal instead but even that is incomplete. This was seriously an awesome weekend (not perfect obvioiusly but close enough in my book and I refuse to let the festivities go unrecorded. Fortunately, I'm a good list maker.

2.12 | the twelfth night
- Not really anything to say about today... just four years seems forever ago and that "it was real and it was great. and it was really great." Name that movie.

2.13 | Friday the 13th
- Creeeeepy. No scary movie for me though. Just rest up for tomorrow!

2.14 | Valentines day
- Blueberry pancakes for breakfast!
- Old friends, new friends, recycled friends?
- Toe side practice...check.
- Hit by the lift...check. Ow.
- Beer break. BTW, if you go to Steven's, don't get the nachos!! They're nasty, stale, and old.
- A great full day on the mountain complete with good friends...who all happened to be coupled except Hoai and Julius. Well, I guess you could say they were a couple. A couple of poopheads. Yes, poopheads.
- Got to Marc's at 10 or so and knocked out.

2.15 | Things never work out for me!!
- Wake up for church at St. Iggy's
- Get to SU and discover they don't hold 9 am mass anymore
- Sit in to watch Barrio practice. "So you guys are going to Saltys?" Face palm to forehead.
- Salty's for all you can eat seafood brunch!
- Food coma
- Bj's birthday party complete with a little surprise on his couch

2.16 | President's Day
- Took a walk with Marc around Greenlake
- Trying to name all the U.S. presidents...he beat me but we only got about 15 altogether :(

death by physics

All I gotta say is I'm glad this week is FINALLY over. 4 hours of physics, a midterm, a quiz then 2 more hours of A&P lab is not at all fun. So I decided to be bad...and not work today. I think Vicki's can survive without me for a day...

looking forward to:

- stevens on vday!
- sleeping in
- canadia sunday?
- barrio fiesta!

I'm so full! Went to 2 happy hours today. Yum! Stanfords with the sister (got my mac & cheese fix) then late night at Wasabi with the manfriend. Seattle tempura roll = satifaction guaranteed.

I was thinking about writing a long post tonight but decided I'd rather write in my journal...maybe online blogging isn't my thing after all. Goodnight friends!
