par-tay!

what i like about going out in SF is that there's always dancing. and not just some people dancing, but a lot of people, as in grabe. more than in cocomangas, and that's saying something. so a bunch of us went out last saturday to celebrate my license, and mike's last drink ever (not that he ever started, according to him.) we partied hard, but no, i did not get drunk, despite the amount of alcohol i drank. although my feet incredibly hurt afterwards, which is kinda weird since i wasn't even wearing my really high shoes. but anyways. In the picture to the left, feel na feel namin yung westcoast. this was after a couple of drinks (for me anyways) and i was just a *little* bit tipsy, maybe around 20%. really! i should know, i remembered everything! haha!

when i was back home, i remember going out with sina lee, making the most out of my remaining days there because i was thinking i won't be able to go out as much here because i don't know that many people yet, no money, stuff like that. well, i'm glad to know i was wrong. i mean, it's understandable that you won't know a lot of people, being in a new place and all, but you'll always make new friends. or meet old friends. and about getting a job, so far, nothing has worked out for me. it's a loong story, but i'm just thinking the right job will come in its own time. the right job meaning it has the right pay, benefits and compensation. although sometimes, i kind of wonder what if i accepted the offers i had? almost everyone i've talked to about getting a job said that i shouldn't be picky with the kind of work i do, because what's important is getting work experience and all that. but what if i don't like commission based pay? or the kind of work? or the industry? am i being too picky? hmmm... nah. i should go with what i want. and anyway, everyone i talked to said i shouldn't rush into a job, because once i get one, tuloy tuloy na yun, no time for vacation and fun. so that's me, taking baby steps at a time, and partying in between. ;p

Hey, be proud of me. I've been driving around by myself and i am the official driver for my tito. and since he's always making me drive around, he's allowed me personal use of the car. so far, i've parked by myself (i know, mababaw, but hey, it's no easy feat driving a chevy sedan. it's so huge!) and as corny (again) as this may seem, i feel so independent. and old. BUT i'm still me, because i keep on doing stupid things, like forgetting to press the hand brake (or foot brake, in my case), forgetting whether i locked the car or not, forgetting where i parked, and being incredibly paranoid that the car might get carnapped.

so far it's been good. i've only taken the car to linda mar, and the daly city bart, so i don't have to ride the bus to the bart when i go to my dance classes. speaking of dance classes, i love it that i'm finally getting some exercise. although the steps in the hiphop jazz are kinda weird (weirder than ate naths') it's all good. and even if i've only just started capoiera, i'm enjoying it so much! it's really a battle of some sort, with a little flair here and there. my goal: to be able to do a headspin. haha! well, i can always dream, right?
