Last weekend was busy but not quite as busy as the weekend of the bridal shower.

Saturday - It was dumpster day in Caterbury Village. I didn't get to do some cleanup Friday night because of Star Wars so I woke up around 5:30 in the morning to bring palm fronds to the front yard. I climbed up the ladder to get fronds off of the roof and dragged them. I think I'll hire tree people to strip off some of the dead fronds so I don't have so much of a problem next year. Liz shows up around 7:30 to help out. Bernard helps drag fronds because this year they decide to have the dumpster near Joan Court instead of near Junie's house. Then I did some weeding while waiting for the notary. It took almost 2 hours to sign loan and escrow papers. So I should be getting money to buy out Liz on Friday. Then went to the mall to return stuff that I bought and didn't use for the bridal shower. I finally found Santana hibiscus at Yardbirds. also bought another eggplant plant and strawberry plants. By the time i got home it was too late plant them so i'll just plant them this weekend. It's Michelle V's graduation day but was too busy to go to the party in Sacramento. Oh well! Liz stopped by the party on her way to Lake Tahoe to give her our graduation gift. I'll see her a the wedding anyways.

Sunday - Did the usual Sunday routine--Starbucks, Target and Church in the morning. After church went to eat at Fuddruckers with Auntie Irma, Auntie Tess, Hazel and EJ. They wanted to go to Factory Outlet Stores in Vacaville but I need to move my bedroom furniture downstairs and clean before picking up mom and auntie ely at SFO. Too much to do and didn't leave until 7. Liz was running late too. Was planning to leave at 6 because their flight arrives at 7:30 (or so we're told) but planned on getting there a little later because auntie ely has to go through the non-US citizen line. By the time I got there they were waiting. Turns out mom changed to a cheaper flight that arrived at 5:30 which means they were there for a couple of hours. Then I went to Auntie Irma's so they can follow me to Liz's house. We hung out at Liz & Brian's for a couple of hours so I slept late.

Monday - Left work early and got home a little after 7pm after picking up prescription for infection. Thought I should get home early so as not to keep anyone waiting. but I ended up waiting for everyone. Mom, Auntie Ely, and Bernard went to the oriental store, but came back and went to FoodMax because they forgot to bring money (it was funny at the time). Bev, Manny, and Siah showed up around 8:30. Played with Siah on the slide in the backyard. Then Auntie Irma, Hazel and EJ showed up. Then Liz and Brian arrived. They were all hungry so I told them they could eat because mom, Auntie Ely and Bernard ate. They eventuallly showed up. Siah is so funny. I love my godson. Ended up going to sleep late again.

Tuesday - Watched Star Wars Revenge of the Sith again. Got a free ticket to watch it at the Sony Metreon with Tony & Arlene from Church (courtesy of Wells Fargo's Consumer Credit Group). Saw Kathy, Liz's friend. Forgot to call and check if Lee went. Anyways, Hayden is such a hottie. When I watched Attack of the Clones I thought he was cute but he's too young at the time. He's a few years older now and he's definitely a hottie. Then went to cheesecake factory with Tony, Arlene, and Tony's uncle so I got home late (close to midnight). Mom kept calling saying to go home. Made me feel bad.

More on the rest of the week and my take on Revenge of the Sith for my next posts.

I got to watch Star Wars Friday night at the Sony Metreon with Scott and loved it. I'm glad I bought tickets on Fandango weeks ago or I might not have had watched it the first weekend. I'll always love Star Wars and have to watch the first weekend--don't want anyone to ruin it for me. I remember Uncle Tonying taking Bernard, Liz and me to the Agana Theater on Guam to watch it. At first I thought he was dragging us to watch a Filipino movie. But when we got there and saw the lines we were confused then excited--at least I was. After I watched it, I was amazed and have been a fan since then. I loved Luke and Leia.

Hayden Christiansen was great. What a hottie! I know. He's too young. But for some reason I just like the young ones. I guess it started with James--being almost 3 years younger than me. Isn't that pathetic? Anyways on the train back, I kept thinking that I have to watch the "first" one again. Thought it was sad about Mace and the younglings and Padme. How could Anakin have done that???

Yoda was great. Wasn't really a big fan of Yoda at first but he's growing on me. Oh I saw Willie Brown coming out of one of the theaters while I was in concession line. Saw some cute guys. And of course Scott talked about Helen but I don't mind. At least he doesn't have "feelings" for me. I still miss James.

The E3 Sony party was Thursday night. Was wishing I could have gone especially after being PO'd last year. It was slow Friday so I went to lunch with dave, lisa, and derrick. We got dim sum then got gelato afterwards. I was late for a meeting with Michelle and Richard, but it was worth it. Ira talking to Derrick about the next time we go out to eat to invite him. Michelle will be out at interviews so I get the office all to myself.

A recruiter called me on Thursday regarding a Hal Riney/Publicis Mgmt Sup position on the HP account. I would work with Angela Nieman again and on DRTV which would be great. I thought Holly was the mgmt sup. I guess she quit. I haven't called to recruiter back...probably won't since it's HP and all the re-orgs. Mark M sent an email about a VISA contract job. Marcela asked if I want to work at ECI as a studio manager. Would like to but I don't have extensive experience with quark and photoshop. I only know enough to get by with personal things. Remember working with quark for my printing class at RIT. Also worked on quark at C&W for New Business. Niall also recommended me to his boss. Cool. If I get even more frustrated. I've got options.

That was my Thursday and Friday night. More about the weekend in my next blog.

So I've been thinking about James a lot. Not just to forget about HIM. But when I listen to some of my favorite music I start to drum with my fingers. Then I start to imagine him as the drummer. I remember how I thought that it's amazing that I probably saw him at a concert and thought he was cute even before I met him. I remember how much I adored watching him with his drums. I remember him teaching me how to play drums. I remember how he used to practice with his drumsticks and silly putty at the strangest places...at the BART station, at the college, at work. I still have the pictures of him with percussion instruments...drum set, tympani, quads. I don't know why but drummers are my favorite musicians (tied with singers of course). Oh how I adored James, my sexy drummer boy.

 I'm still angry at him. I wanna say that I hate HIM. But I really don't hate anyone. I wanna hate HIM just so I can get over him. I should have told him the status of a file earlier in the day but I didn't until the afternoon.

I got to see Josiah 2x today. First Bev surprised me by asking if I was free for lunch because she, Manny, and Josiah were in the city. Good thing status meeting ended shortly after 11:30. I met them at the corner of Sutter and Stockton so they can park at the garage. Then we went to lunch at the basement/dungeon. They got Japanese and I got Filipino. Siah had his head shaved. He's still cute but not as cute with hair. He also wore the SF Giants baseball cap I got him. He loves carrots. He was also eating chicken. But he didn't like broccoli. He spit it out. He makes the cutest faces. Then I brought them to the office. Introduced them to my co-workers. Manny likes the PlayStation stuff. Then I walked them to the car.
So I finally gave him updates. I'm trying not chat more than what's necessary.

I was going to do more work when I got home but Liz told me Bev was going to her new house. So I watered some of the plants. Got the favors and Liz's laundry. Then went to Auntie Irma's and watch American Idol with them before we left for Liz's. Siah was there of course and he's so cute. He's so smart...playing with the balloon, playing with the balls, playing with the box, looking like he's a football player. Then we went to Liz's. Siah is so active and loves to climb...the kitchen counter and the rails. I just love him. We talked about housing, wedding, family, jobs, and such. Didn't leave until around 10:45. Got Jack in the Box. Got home at 11:15. Now I'm blogging. Gotta go. Sleepy but I gotta fiinish watching Gilmore Girls.
