spring break has been really really great so far.

tuesday was the best. the absolute best. i had to wake up really early and go to diana's house. it was fun..i think i talk too much though. i don't think i'll be invited to her house again! =/ but yeah.. it was fun. so we go to citywalk and diana's wearing a really really really pretty dress. it was seriously soooo pretty and cute.. i'm jealous! =)

citywalk was the coolest thing. we got there and nick and chris were there waiting for us when diana's dad, my trsusty dealer, dropped us off.. i was sooooooo excited to see nick because i hardly ever get to see him... i'm really happy about getting to see him during break =), which is sadly almost over! i don't want to go to school... ever. um... yeah.. so we got there and we walked around a bit and it was drizzling out... and we walked in and out of stores.. and after a while of wandering we decided to watch a movie.. holes.. with my boyfriend, not diana's, shia la beouf (sp?).. yeah.. he looked really hott in the movie. so yeah the movie was pretty cool, and afterwards we met everybody at the bowling place..

bowling was sooo fun! =D good thing nick stayed or else he would've missed out! and i would've missed him =).. so yeah bowling was really fun and everyone was really good and the guys' scores were really, really high.. just like me.. haha jk.. yeah after bowling we bought some tommy's.. watched the lakers lose.. and then yeah nick and chris had to leave so diana and i walked them to the place where they needed to get dropped off.. so diana waited with chris and i with nick. we talked a bit and yeah nick is soooo cool! i love him. =) so yeah.. then we met up with melannie and krizia and walked around some more. very cool. then we saw the guys at sam goody and then the girls got some starbucks. and yeah.. i forgot what happened after that because i was pretty buzzed.. buzzzzzzzzzzzed haha yeah.

tomorrow.. we're going to disneyland woohoo! i'm so excited. solitaire told me that it was going to be a cool day! and it will. i must go because i have a puzzle to put together. goooooooooooooood night!

daaaang...i was writing that this is gonna be the best spring break ever...but not anymore!! ahhh!! i'm gonna cry. why do my parents always have to ruin things, huh??? geeeeeeeeeeeze. =*(

ummm..i went to san diego and newport this weekend. it was kind of fun but kind of boring. i took a lot of pictures. it was mostly me, ate, kuya, and ashlee...seriously, i kept on saying "too bad justin isn't here!!! =( " buut yeah..it's always fun hanging out with ashlee. i miss the days when i could sleep over her house for a few days..sigh..good times. i woke up sooo early on sunday! even when we were at the beach i felt like i was still sleeping.

awww man leslie..you are a funny funny girl. i really appreciate that looooooooooong comment. geeeze. that was funny.

i should go read now. i should.

=( nick's not online..or maybe he just blocked me..but i didn't get to talk to him today. =(

and this weekend i'm going to the beach with my auntie and my cousins. i hope it'll be fun. and i'm soooo excited for next week. sooo sooo sooo excited. you don't even know!! =D i already asked my parents about it..no wait, i told them about it. haha. under the thumb.. huh, diana? =D

i bought some stuff for my author project today. gosh..stickers are so expensive. i went to swains, michaels, aaron brothers, and staples.. it was fun. now my dad is on a magnet craze. seriously he's turning every picture into a magnet. they're soo cool though. i'm gonna make some too =).

well i just can't wait until next week.. =)

man..i never thought this day was actually gonna come. i can't believe it's spring break..finally!! today was the longest day ever. last night was seriously the worst. procrastination really sucks. i stayed up until like two in the morning doing my damn zoo project. and it really sucked. and on the paper it said you'd have to put the powerpoint on a cd...so that meant i couldn't change anything at school or whatever..so i had no animation and just one sound clip. it was soo bad. and then today people were turning in floppy disks..what the hell. that really isn't fair. i hope they get points marked off, but i bet they won't. damn it.

well it's spring break and i'm pretty excited..but then again i'm not since i have so much work to do. soooo much work. and i'm sick. seriously i get sick every break we have. it isn't fun.

umm..some people are being really gay. it's pissing me off. it's like i make an effort to be nice to them because they're unhappy or whatever and then they just blow me off. and then i'm just like..what the hell? why do i even try. it sucks.

everybody left me!! =(
the bachelor is so addicting. i'm so so glad i can watch tv for a whooole week!! woohoo. i have to go read my book now.

i have so so so so much homework to do!! =( whatever.

sooo..the dance on friday night was soooooo great. geeze..too bad leslie didn't even come!!! =(

but yeah.. i think we'd all have to agree that it was really really fun. diana was with chris (they are sooooo the cutest thing!). =) krizia and mal were dancing with some hott boys! =) and i was with nick. =D he's sooooo great and i love him. and the best part is we got back together. so let's just hope i don't mess things up again! so yeah..i'd really have to say that the night was awesome.

i really really should start my zoo project right now.

alright, i know i've been updating a lot lately..and that's so unlike me. but this is gonna be short.

i just want to say that i love my cousin, justin. oh man..seriously, he's the best!!!!!!!!! no joke. =D hey just, i really really really really appreciate everything..lol. i'm making kind of a big deal about this.. but seriously, you soooo saved us!!! we all thank you. =D

and a big thanks goes to "AH"..yeah, i'm seriously not going to that "party"..but thanks for caring!! =)

and i have to study...

+ posted by: Rachel

lol. last week i was at the mall walking by myself..and these two teenage girls come up to me..and are all like introducing themselves and whatever. and they invited me to this "party" thing..and i had to give them my number. and we all know i'm not very bright, so i gave them my real number.

soo anyway..this lady just called me. and invited me to the big ol' party. she kept on saying that she wanted me to be there. she put a lot of emphasis on the word "you" every time. like, "they'll be teens and college people just like YOU. and we want YOU to be there..there'll be loud music and we want to party with YOU.." she kept on repeating herself. and there's gonna be this world famous speaker talking about loneliness. it's on sunday at 9:45 am. who wants to come with me?

my head hurts. =/

it's really really really hot in my room. so hot the pictures i post on this little board thing are curling. oh yeah, and on monday night i had to make myself dinner since my mom was having a fit because i complained saying that i was hungry. i don't know..i have this crazy idea that a mother should feed her child..but that's just me. anyway, i made this nasty bologna sandwich because we're poor and that's all we have...so i didn't finish it. and i left it on my desk all night and all day on tuesday. (yeah, i'm too lazy to take the plate downstairs to the kitchen) so what the hell does a bologna sandwich have to do with it being so hot in my room? well, when i got home on tuesday..i looked at the sandwich and the bread wasn't on top of the bologna..and the bologna was sweating. lol. it had those sweat drops all over it. it was funny but gross at the same time. so yeah..that's my story.

and on tuesday..i found this really really pretty gown for 20 dollars. eventhough it's a size too big and a little long.. i bought it! =) so now, i have a winter formal/prom dress for next year..ha. i'm a loser. =/

+ posted by: Rachel

you guys are all going to have to excuse my "cattiness" for right now. i think it's the weather. and "you guys"? umm..no one reads this except myself..and leslie. woohoo. yay for leslie. =D don't read the next paragraph because all i do is complain

anyway, i got sooo pissed off today. uhh..not really pissed off..more like frustrated. and not "sooo" much to the point where i told the person off, because, let's face it, i wouldn't do that.. so basically that whole first sentence is wrong. i guess i was just being a bit dramatic. anyway. i seriously hate it when people lie to me, but i'm not talking about a white lie or little things likes that. and this lie was so obvious. although i may look it, i'm not that stupid. and this person had no reason to lie. and maybe in that one out of a trillion chance this person wasn't lying..(but it had to have been a lie)..this person didn't have to be so mean about it. honestly, if i'm pissing you off..tell me..so i don't look even more stupid trying to talk to you and trying to be all nice when it's just a lost cause. what can i say, it's all lame high school drama.

sorry if i sound grouchy. i'm telling you, it's the weather! and the fact that i'm grounded for even a longer period of time..and i'm really tired. i want my hour back! and i have two tests tomorrow..two tests on thursday..and one on friday. what. the. hell. why am i blogging? =/ but would i be even more of a loser if i said that i miss him? i'm pretty sure it's not possible for me to become even more of a loser though..i don't think what i say matters anymore.

and lastly, (this is just useless information..so don't read it) today in the car it was really hot, and mal said she wanted to go swimming. and i said me too. and then she said she'd build us a pool at her house once we got home. and that made me laugh..and it also made me think about that time at my granny's house..when we had one of those kiddy pools..and justin threw a rock..and it made a hole in the side..and all the water poured out. and the pool was broken. so the rest of that hot summer we had to go without a pool..thanks just. and then i remembered when justin threw a really small marble at the tv..and then there was this little hole in the middle of the tv that never went away. ahh, good times. that was really random..but i'm blaming it on the weather.

i have a lot to say today. i think it's because i have no one to talk to. my dad got me a new mouse. =) now i can play solitaire without the little ball getting stuck and making me lose valuable time. ha. i'm such a loser. now stick a fork in me cause i'm done.

here's my friday five
1. How many houses/apartments have you lived in throughout your life?
i've lived in four

2. Which was your favorite and why?
the one i'm living in right now..i guess. i don't really remember the first two..only that i had a green turtle sandbox. geeze..i was so cool. ;) oh man, fun times in that little sandbox. haha. but yeah, the one i'm living in right now is my favorite.

3. Do you find moving house more exciting or stressful? Why?
both..but all those times we moved i never got stressed out or anything. but when i moved from my old house to here..the landlord sooo stole my money from my gigantic piggy bank..and it was even my birthday money..=(

4. What's more important, location or price?
you all know i'm sooo poor..it's depressing..but i think location is so much more important. oh yeah, that's another reason why my house is a lot better..we live right across the street from this little "mall" type thing..and it's very convenient. so location, all the way!

5. What features does your dream house have (pool, spa bath, big yard, etc.)?
a pool would be nice..but i can't swim. it has to have two or more stories..because stairs are great. more than three rooms. a big backyard with a tree..and then my daughter can have a tree house. haha. she'll be the envy of every kid on our block. haha.

i went online earlier =X. for a few minutes..and then i heard someone coming up the stairs..so i signed off in a hurry. lol. i'm a loser. =(

i feel so bad. i don't know anymore. honestly, it really really breaks my heart to think that he hates me and never wants to talk to me again..

this weekend i went to san diego with my family. the place was realllly boring but my cousins are sooo cool. gosh, they crack me up. we mostly just played tennis, ping pong, and pool. geeze..i am the worst pool player in the whole entire world. i couldn't even hit the white ball. =/ and ate was just like, "concentrate, rach..concentrate!" but i couldn't! =( but my ping pong skills are way better! i think it was all the practice with diana at the retreat! =) i beat kuya earl sooo many times. i ownzjoo, kuya. lol.

so we went to the mall after school. it was fun. but mallory had to leave early to go to tennis..and then at around 5:45 diana left too. so krizia and i were really bored..and we're walking, right. then we see these two guys..and i'm like, "oh my gosh..that guy's on the disney channel!! and the other one is on tv too.." and we all know how much i love the disney channel. =P sooo anyway, like the loser i am, i start following them! just to make sure, you know. and krizia's like, "what are you doing???!!" but she follows me anyway. haha. so we follow them to the food court and it's the guy from that disney movie "my mom's got a date with a vampire" or something like that! you guys know what i'm talking about! =) his friend looked sooo familiar but i still can't figure out who he is. =/

so i buy a gift for the girl..and krizia, her parents, and i go eat. it was yummmyyy. and i saw a lot of my old classmates!! =) too bad they all hate me. =/ okay, long story short...we go back to the mall and see that guy from disney again..but then krizia and i realize he's with tawny from even stevens!!!! ahhhh. that was sooo cool. and she is sooo pretty!! i was gonna ask to take a picture..since i had my camera..but krizia said noooo..krizia was embarrassed to be hanging out with me! can you believe that? geeze. but it was still cool!! =)

vegas sucked. i was sick the whole time..=( but i bought some cooool roxy and abercrombie clothes, so i guess it was worth it =/ lance burton was soooo darn cool. i played one of leslie's favorite games, crazy taxi. it was cool but i couldn't really reach the pedals..so it took me forever to brake!! =/ so the game ended pretty quickly. and that was my vegas trip.

blah blah blah. finals really sucked...especially world civ! oh my gosh..i didn't know anything..but the essay was gooood, huh leslie?? haha. that probably bumped me up to a...D+. if i'm lucky! i dont' want to go to school and get my report card..my parents are going to kill me =(

on new years day i had to go to my grandma's house..at 9 in the morning..that's pretty crazy! and not very cool..i mean new years day, waking up before nine? what is that??!! so we get there, they do that whole ritual thing without us..so that wasn't very nice. but i ate my favorite korean dish on the planet..so that was nice. then we went to go see the floats from the rose parade. alright, they were really pretty and everything but that whole experience was sooooo not worth my six dollars! and that's all i have to say about that.

tomorrow, i am determined to do all my homework! but i really really really don't want to go back to school. finals are coming up sooo very soon..and i'm not ready! =/ i really never am..so what's new.

sooooo at school..we cleaned the tables and then passed out the entrance exams to like 285 eighth graders...and we walked all around our auditorium for like three hours just to check if people were cheating or if they needed a pencil or anything. ahhh boring stuff.

i went to the mall..and my mom bought my watch =D...kuya said it's exactly like angela's..so i'm very very sorry angela for copying you! i hope you don't hate me..=(

oh man, confirmation was so lame yesterday...diana and i were the only people working all hard and stuff..and these two stupid girls were sofa king annoying...all they did was run around and hit each other with those cardboard tubes..ahh...i want to punch them in their ugly faces.

umm.. i want to talk about my retreat. it was soooooo very cold. seriously...i was freezing to death. a big thanks goes to diana for letting me borrow her scarf =D. it was a lifesaver. we went to 8:00 am mass on saturday...and then we got in the bus and headed to the christian camp center..or whatever. when we got there we just hung out and then we ate. blah blah blah nobody wants to know all this. but hey, whatever.
okay you know what..i'm gonna sum up the whole retreat in a few phrases since nobody really cares about details. nobody's even going to read this. ahhh who cares:
- the confidence course was fun and scary. i did the "leap of faith" and the "narrow way" and diana did the "leap of faith" too..i'm so proud!! =D
- jon is so cool, he dropped the "h". he knew all my jokes and everything. =)
- things happened that were pretty...gross. it has to do with harnesses and...boys. diana: "ehhhhhhhhh..........i'm tired" hahahah.
- my name was ping..and diana's was pong. lol. "ping pong jon". we seriously are the ping pong queens!!
- diana and i serenaded everybody with our medley!!
- the bus driver, jaime, is diana's soulmate
- we were late to mass..and that's it! i'll put the pictures up tonight.

seriously though..diana and i are soooooooo dang cool!! it's kind of like..woah! but yeah..we are!! we were like loners...the cool kind though, of course.

so yeah. today there was just a tad bit of drama..kind of..and i was all worried and stuff. but hopefully it's sort of over. and then the mall..i saw danielle!! hahah..we're such cool mall rats. and i went to abercrombie with krizia..and i saw my shirts!!! =) ooooh man..they have new ones!! and i want them soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo badly!! oh man!!!

okay, this is turning out to become a long blog...so, i apologize. i'm trying to avoid packing up. okay so like the CRAZIEST thing happened to mallory, krizia, and i yesterday!! it seriously could only happen to us..
so we're walking in the library on our way to the exit and then krizia's like, "is that one of those chocolate gold coins??!" and i was like, "it is!!!" so we pick it up..and we're almost to the exit..and i'm like, "oh my gosh!! there's another one!!" so i pick it up..and then we go out the door and mallory gets one..and then it's like a whoooole trail!! so mallory and i are picking all the coins up while screaming, "who's leaving a trail??!! who's leaving a trail????" and there was no answer..so yeah..we get to the end of the trail which is like this kind of enclosed area..and we see a bunch of people and this one girl holding a cake with candles and everything on it...and they're singing "happy birthday to you..." and then they stop and realize we're not the person..and then they're like.."shut up!! get out of here!" and stuff like that..we couldn't really hear what they were saying since we running away. oooh my gosh..that was seriously the funniest thing ever.

yeah well...i'm packing for my retreat..and i have nothing to pack =/ i have no clothes. i'm such a bum. but i'm kinda sorta excited because...it's a retreat..and i heard it's cool! so don't miss me too much guys! hahah..just kidding =) it's not like it's a week long retreat...i'm coming back on sunday. =P

and then at two diana left...so it was only mal and i..for sooo long!! and we were the only people on our school campus besides the guard and the principal. it was pretty crazy. they locked everything. and i had to pee sooooooooo badly.. oh gosh..i was going to pee on myself... and nothing was open! so i peed behind a tree..hahah. just kidding! luckily the men's bathroom was open...so i just used that. hahaha.

i'm debating on whether to put the link of my little photo album thing up or not...it's kind of gay...but kind of funny..i think. uhhh..what to do what to do.. i guess i can just put the pretty funny ones up.

forget that..it's too much work. click here..and the password is racheliscool just go to..personal albums...and then view the slide show..dont look at the pictures individually because that's no fun! haha.

but after school was fuuuun. :) i helped leslie out with her cd cover..because you know, i'm such a pro with paint shop. haha. ;)

and when leslie left i went to the auditorium with mal and krizia..ooooh man. that was soooo fuuuun. mal called chadVick from Germany..harharhar. we passed the phone around and mal and i tried to have thick german accents..but it just came out British. hahah. chadvick didn't want to talk to us after five minutes so he made up some excuse so we'd leave him alone.

uhh yeah. woohoo..i can't wait until thanksgiving!! i didn't think we were going to do anything...but i have just been informed that i'm going to my L...grandma's house..hahah. and then kuya, justin, and i will sleep over! and then it will be just like old times..hahah.

..and that's the reason why i didn't go to ballet today! hahah..i called my mom and i was like guess what!! and she's like what???! and i was like..i fell!!! and she was like, what?? do i have to take you to the hospital????! haha..silly mom. so yeah, what a lame excuse to not go to ballet..but i really really really didn't want to go because the teacher's a really mean person. and i just can't deal with that..and plus i am injured. haha.

What other rules and guidelines are there for searching?
- proper requests
- requires the name, known as “user-agent string”
- no malicious requests


Are there advanced features? Explain.
- can search by quotes and phrases
- can use word for word search
- different languages
- exact dates for articles
- word filters

+ posted by: Rachel

HotBot provides a good starting point. It is one of the largest Web search engines in terms of URLs covered (54 million); it has achieved significant popularity; and a quick benchmarking (Table 1) shows that it stands up very well against its biggest competitor, AltaVista. It is typical in many ways and unique in some. Plus, AltaVista receives quite a bit of attention in the press, and HotBot therefore has some underdog appeal.
BUT HOTBOT IS HOT

In a nutshell, HotBot is a powerful, well-designed search engine, with a modestly presented, but good list of add-ons. Developed by Inktomi Corporation in collaboration with HotWired, Inc., HotBot provides basic Boolean capabilities, relevance ranking, and decent output options. Virtually all available features are clearly presented with option windows, checkboxes and buttons, making it a good recommendation for end-users.

HotBot is lacking some important features--truncation and proximity-- and its list of stopwords is problematic for some searches. However, it provides some less common added features, including a strong Save Search feature, "special feature" searching, and searching for "links to this URL." In addition to searching its Web database, users can (separately or simultaneously) elect to search four million recent Usenet postings.
Strengths:
* Advanced searching capabilities
* Page depth limit
* Advanced search help
Weaknesses:
* Link searches must be exact
* Can not uncluster results
* Advanced features do not always work (truncation and depth now fail)
Sensitive to upper and lower case letters
Strengths
· Large Database
· Fast and easy to use
· Very easy-to-use interface
· Full and simple Boolean
· Searchable Fields:Title, date, URL, link-to, language
· Truncation
· Case sensitive
· Integrated “popularity” retrieval
·
· Weaknesses
· Some stop-words
· Sensitivity to higher and upper
· Records occasionally disappear

and then diana and i went to this school play...and seriously, we have the worst luck when it comes to where we sit. the people next to us kept on talking and laughing and it was like..what the hell?!? and then a phone went off..and my heart totally stopped. and diana was getting ready to smack me...but thank God it wasn't mine!! i would have been so embarrassed.

well, i'm finally going to see santa clause 2 today!!! tim allen is way cool!! i know diana loves him too..hahaha. but i have confirmation! :( and homework to do. dang it.

hello. i'm very very bored right now.
So I had a week to live..and what did i do? absolutely nothing. but i must admit, yesterday was probably one of the funniest days ever. i seriously couldn't breathe and i got all teary-eyed. i don't really remember why we were laughing, i just remember sitting in the gym doing matrices and then passing around that sprite can. LOL. fun times, i'll miss them! ;(

today felt like we had finals or something. they cancelled our walk thing...so we had classes! that was not cool.
alright, my dad just ran into my room, and started laughing in my face..you know, those evil laughs...and walked out.. hahaha. weirdo.
so we went to the mall walked around a lot...saw janell and caught up with her for a bit...and yeah. saw chris but it was kinda..ehhhh. we stayed there for the longest time though.

so yeah, tomorrow.."my last day" i don't really know what i'm gonna do. i know i'm going to diana's sweet sixteen practice...but my parents are weird and they're not telling me what's going to happen so i'm clueless right now. OH MAN. i am one bored girl.

i have to do homework...on a friday night!! :/ and i'm even going to die tomorrow. well then, bye.

yeah..today leslie's leg was on the floor...so i picked it up and hid it from her. hahaha...and then she finally realized it...she started to search frantically for it...running across the room legless... while i was keeping all my laughter inside. harharhar...that was very funny. she's such a L..but W...u know? she's just J. :P

well that's about it.

hey man. i'm bored. dude..last night, i was used. hahaha. lol. but yesterday was coooool!!

christine and i won in our computer class for the best power point. damn straight! bow down..LOL. just kidding. but we actually won!! we didn't really think we would..because we were kind of being obnoxious about it. like when the teacher was like, "okay..who wants to vote for sleeping beauty.." and christine and i would be like..."oh my gosh...sleeping beauty?? that power point was sooo cool! " "isn't that the one with NSYNC...that was pretty cool" "i'm so voting for that one.." lol..we were so loud!! and then we were special because the teacher showed ours all over again...because this girl didn't see it...and then...it was time to vote..and there were actually people voting for ours besides christine and i. lol. so that was our moment of glory. we're getting some candy on monday! wooohooo.

AND..i adopted two baby fish yesterday. they are so cute...i don't know what to name them though..you know what, none of my fish live. i think my partner puts curses on them or something..because her fish never die!! that's not fair.

we went to the mall too. it was fun. we saw diana's future husband. lol.

right then..sorry for boring you all with my day. i have nothing else to write.

hey guys. i have 12 minutes to write this entry. so yes. where should i begin? hmmm...

lol...i won solitaire so many times today! i was so proud of myself. one time i won three times in a row! woohoo..bow down. LOL..leslie. ummm...i went to ballet today. but not tap. WOOHOO! that class is just too embarassing for me.

oh wait. now i know what i was going to blog about! alright, for bio..i have fish. and i have a male and a female...i bought them so that they could mate and give me some babies already! :P but unfortunately, no babies. their names are dylan and allison. lol. and like i named them after two specific people. in real life..a girl named "allison" likes this guy named "dylan" a lot. but "dylan" doesn't even know "allison" exists and doesn't like her at all. and it's soooo weird because the fish...allison and dylan...are like the people!! like in the tank the female fish would chase the male fish...just like allison chases dylan...and the male fish would always swim away and hide!! kinda like what dylan does...you know..he's not interested... lol. i don't know if any of you guys understood that...but if you did, good job...but isn't that weird????!!! but cool too???! it's sooo..ironic. my fish are just too cool.

dude..diana and i are cool. seriously, like her cousin annoys her...because her cousin wants to be just like diana..or close. and that's just like me and my cousin....and we found out today..they both have the same skin rash disease..or something like that. that was sooo cool! lol...

i'm getting a haircup...lol. haircup???! what a weirdo rachel is. i meant i'm getting a haircut...this saturday!! woohooo..i'm pretty excited. well then..my time is up.

hello dere. i'm supposed to be doing my espana brochure but i'm taking a little break.
well today was...kinda boring. for one thing, diana wasn't there..and yeah. that's probably it. lol. :) but leslie and i made up this cool new dance. it is very funny.

i'm "grounded"...that's what my mother told me after i got back from diana's house because i didn't call when i was at the festival. she never even told me to call...but i am "old enough to know when to call". :/ my mom says i'm not grounded, i just can't go anywhere for a month. i'm kind of new to this whole grounded business...but if i can't go anywhere doesn't that mean i am grounded.:/ lol.

but you know what that means!! i can't go to the dance on saturday... :( i'm pretty sad about that...but maybe it's all for the best. God probably knows that ak will be dancing with 54612364897512345678123456 girls...and He doesn't want me to see that because it will break my heart 54612364897512345678123456 times. :tear: awww..lol. just kidding..it won't really break my heart..i'd probably just be like...ehhhh :(...and hate that girl forever..lol... ak's such a pimp. i don't like that about him. haha. he has a girlfriend..or girlfriends, i dont' really know...so i guess i'll have to scratch him off my list. lol.

yesterday was kind of gay because i had to go to ballet...which sucked. the class was only supposed to be an hour...and thenwe end pretty late...so i was in a bad mood. and then like we drove all the way to my auntie's house in huntington beach..my cousins are the cutest!!! especially little molly..ahhh..i love her!! i'm going to put the pictures up later...so we go to downtown disney and just eat and hang out. it's not all that great but it's a really cute place to have a date. lol. woah...that totally rhymed! hahaha. but seriously there were so many couples..it was sooooo cute. and then there's me with my family..lol...greeaaat. :/

on friday we went to the mall to find leslie a dress...she bought a really pretty one from rampage. it's really cute. and we also visited chris lol. it was kinda like..ehhh. because we stayed for like around five minutes and then leslie had to leave. and then we went back and saw the pretty girls...michelle and danielle! and we took a picture with them too! :) but i stepped on my glasses...and i felt really stupid :( but i fixed them. and then we were gonna go see chris again but the girl in the front hates us so much!!! she was seriously staring at us the whole time..with her arms folded. it was really odd. we'd even look at her and she wouldn't turn away...it's like she was proud or something. she's a weirdo. :/

yesterday...stayed home all morning and then i started getting ready for the party at around 1. and then there was a lot of traffic on the way there...and leslie waited for a while. but i finally got to the church..we waited for a while..and then we saw diana...and she looked sooooo pretty!! and so did tanya!!!!!! so the mass was cool. we went outside and this lady wanted me to hook up with her grandson which was pretty funny. and then leslie's parents picked us up and we had a little trouble finding the place but we finally got there a little before five. and then diana text leslie saying they wouldn't be there until 6!!! and we were like oh geeeze what are we gonna do?? so we like walked around....which was pretty boring but still fun cause leslie was there. and then yeah the party started and mal was there just in time!!

so...the dancing stuff started and it was really cute. diana looked so pretty! and we were so dang loud cheering for her..it cracked me up. and then after that we ate and stuff. blah blah blah unimportant happened. i saw alex...which was really weird because i hadn't seen her for almost a year...so that was pretty cool!! we started to dance...leslie was freaking all these guys but they didn't know it. LOL. :P silly leslie! and other stuff happened. whatever..it's not interesting. oh geeze we hung out outside with nick...and leslie was being sooooooooooo crazy!! oh my gosh..it was the funniest thing ever though!! you all should have been there because..it was just hilarious. well whatever...nothing else really happened.

alright so...diana and i go to the mall...walk around and stuff....and then we go to jamba juice (yummy) and then cold stone. we walk back and just chill for a while. then we go into the store chris works at...and he's there! and we gave him the picture we took with him..and stuff...and i looked so retarded..but whatever!!! and i was like, "you probably only want it so that you can post it up and ban us from the store or whatever." and then he like said no..or something i don't know. and he's like..."do you guys know how old i am???" and we were like.."yeah.." and he's like, "oh yeah..i told you.." and then he's like..."what school do you guys go to??" and we told him...and then he's like..."oh so you were the one on the phone..." or something like that...and i was like.."yeah that was me..." and then he's like what grade are you guys in?? and we're like...10th..and he's like..."you guys are young whippersnappers..."? i dont know...i didn't hear it but diana said he did. and then he's like..."why don't you guys just hang out..." and we're like..."outside???" and he's like, "nah, come in..." and did this little head thing. and we were like oh my gosh. and then he was like, "so did you guys really think you were going to get kicked out??" and we were like, "yeah..." and i was like,"dude..i even had a dream last night that we got carried out of this store..." and he was like, "woah..i kinda got scared there when you were like...i had a dream.." LOL...nerd. haha. i love him.

and we kept on asking him questions and stuff. like....favorite color? green. chicken bowl or beef bowl? chicken bowl. he wants to be a journalist. he likes tomato and lettuce on his burger..like me..lol. and yeah. and then he would be like..i'll be right back. and then he would go somewhere and he'd come back and stuff. and we were just talking and whatnot. and then i asked him what ethnicity he is and he is a mutt..just like diana and me!!!! :P he's a lot of things but mainly british and mexican :P . and then he asked what we were....and he knew we were both filipino and i was like..and korean...and he was like.."oh yeah, i figured you were filipino-chinese or filipino-japanese.." and then he asked diana. and then i don't know how his girlfriend came up but it did and then he said.." for a few years now...my preference has been asian girls.." CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!! diana and i were like freaking out. his girlfriend, ruth, is pure filipina and they've been going out for 4 years. they've talked about getting married but yeah. that's the cutest thing in the whole world. i couldn't believe it.

oh yeah...diana said, "oh yeah...we don't like have a crush on you or anything.." and i said, "but you are really hott." LOL. and he was all like..thank you... and diana was like..."we just want a mentor. and you're older and our horoscopes says that we need an older mentor...so.." or something like that. and he said, "YEAH, I NEVER HAD THAT BEFORE...so that'd be cool..my apprentices, rachel and diana.." LOL. ISN'T THAT THE COOLEST THING. and we talked to him more after that. we talked to him for a whole dang hour. the best hour of my life. and we just found out random stuff about him...like he watches gilmore girls sometimes...he likes mandy moore..he owns the a walk to remember dvd..and he cried. LOL. too cute. he watches tagalog movies and he can understand probably more than diana and i can!!! he likes crunchy pepperoni on his pizza :P... so yeah..i really don't remember. details...but you can read diana's blog..
