Memorial Day.

Even thought I'm half asleep, I had this tendency to blog about my day.

First off, I have that one Hannah Montana song in my head. "You've got the Best of Both Worlds..." Maybe its because Jaybe's watching Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel right now.



Well my Memorial Day has been really eventful. The first half of the day was spent at my Grandmas house. There was a lot of food from BBQ, steak, korean Bbq, hamburgers, hot dogs, rice! hahah Lastnight, me and Jaybe even made some bread pudding and macarroni salad. It was really fulfilling. Omg and seriously! I just realized I need to really get a new digital camara! My blog has become so boring ever since we broke our cam. It has no recent pictures! But back to our Memorial Day, the Deuce, Jaybe, and I even headed out to play tennis for a couple hours. I even did the whole thing with playing shirtless at the park! lolz what a sexual experience! jk.

The second half of the day was spent at Shellister's house. She made us hamburgers, steak and maccarroni salad as well. Afterwards, we headed upstairs to her room and watched like hella old skewl videos when we were in high school. We watched our competition show from when we were in showchoir, and Jaybe got to see the old me. Yuck! I was like seriously dark and eww. But it was fun because it was a chance to look back.

So I got back home, and I was going through my regular routine online: check the blog, check my email, then check up on Britney on BREATHEHEAVY. So it turns out that the author of BREATHEHEAVY has made a myspace. He is actually one of the cutest white boys I've ever seen. He totally reminds me of Aaron Carter. These are the two of him shirtless. AHH!!



But then again, it makes me wonder how a guy so young like that gets all the new and scandalous info on Britney. Hmm..

Orlando Bloom at His Best!

So after watching Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, I have come to a thoughtful conclusion. I realized how masculine Orland Bloom can really be, yet isn't portrayed that way in his work. I remember when I first watched Troy, also starring Brad Pitt, Orlando was portrayed as a pretty boy, who was a "Lover and not a Fighter."

To me he's actually quite an item! He has the great looks, a hot body, and I'm sure his personality can even be a teaser. I remember reading the May 07 issue of GQ (or was it Details) Magazine. Included was a personal interview with Orlando. The writer used descriptive words when he was trying to describe the setting of the interview. Taking place on a rooftop building in West Hollywood and overlooking the city of Los Angeles, he mentioned how good it was to finally "sit down and enjoy not worrying about what's going to happen tomorrow."

That must have been a really good feeling. I mean he has been continuously working since the first Lord of the Rings has come out, and that was more than 4 years ago. I respect him not only as a celebrity, but as a person. His life resume continues to grow, just as his personal life is remaining consistent and out of the crazy tabloids. If I had the choice to become any Hollywood celebrity (besides Britney Spears), I would love to be Orlando Bloom.



On top of that, the third installment of Pirates of the Caribbeans was actually a great movie. Considering that I watched the 11:45pm showing on its second night, I was excited for the plot. It kept me alive and wondering "What is going to happen next?" The movie focused less on Johnny Depp and his role as the Almighty Captain Jack Sparrow, and pointed its gear more on Orlando Bloom's Will Turner and his "not-so-great relationship with Keira Knightly or his father. The effects were amazing, somewhat believable, and the locations of where they filmed it must have been an adventure. I remember watching the second Pirates on the Disney Cruise Line last year and how effective the ship and it's rocking movement added to the movie. On the other hand, watching it on land made it seem like watching any other movie.

CELEBRITY OF THE DAY:

SWEAT. MOIST. HEAT.

Sweat. Moist. Heat.

The three words that describe my body right now. I just finished running outside with my bro. It was worth it! We normally run around 5 or 6 in the evening, but today we started running around 4. It was more hot outside, meaning more sweat, meaning more calories are burned! Anyway, I had this urge to take off my shirt while running, but then I still felt self conscious of a little flab that some bystanders/drivers would see. Eh, maybe next time. Ahh, I'm still sweating, I could feel the drips going down my chest and my face. And this is going to be a continued excercise for the desired figure I was hoping on acheiving before I head out to the Philippines. Oh, and thank goodness we bought more water today. These Aquafina stuff totally cools me down.



Plans for the evening would be to watch PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END with Shellister and Minji. We were hoping on heading to Downtown Disney to watch it to, ya know, get the whole Walt Disney experience. But we'll see how it goes.

Oh yeah..

I got my pictures in my email this morning from the professional photographers at the graduation ceremony from Wednesday evening. Out of all, this was the best:



I'm planning on buying one of those frames where it has the tassel all hanging on the side. Blah!

LAWRY'S PRIME RIB EXPERIENCE

The whole day yesterday was dedicated to celebrate Nate's achievement on passing the LVN State Boards. We've all been awaiting this night the entire week, and finally we can now saw that we all have a fascinating experience.

First off, me and the boys played another set of SCRABULOUS. I already forgot who one, or even lost! Probably me again. It was such a lazy day. Then we had a nice lunch at CAPITAL SEAFOOD RESTAURANT in Rowland Heights. Parking was a bitch as always. Nate even flicked this one dude off cuz he didn't let us pass. People can be so blah nowadays! Anyhoo, lunch was delicious as always at that place! I love chinese broccolli.

Then we headed back home chilled again. A lot of "doing nothings" this weekend. We all got into the whole WHO WANTS TO BE THE NEXT DOLL shindig on MTV. Well, it was the first time for my mom and christie to watch that. So basically, they were pretty much into it.



Evening came along, and we all decided to attend mass at ST. DENNIS in Diamond Bar. It was a really pretty church. I even took a picture of the waterfall outside the main entrance.



It was funny because instead of sitting in the actual part of the church, we ended up seating in those little rooms that were meant for babies to cry in. We basically watched mass through a huge window.

After mass, we headed to WHISKEY BARREL in Walnut and I bought some lotto tickets. One for saturday and one for tuesday. (yes i believe that one day I could have a few extra million dollars! (Later turns out that none of my numbers for saturday was drawn darnit!)

We got home, got all dressed up and cute-ified! I wore all black. I don't have a particular reason, I just felt like wearing all black could represent my simplicity for the evening. We took two cars: the Mercedes Benz C230 Kompressor and the Infinite G35. Hey, gotta represent ourselves somehow, right?!

Anyhoo. The venue was pretty. My first impression was WTF because as we all got out of our car (its valet only), we noticed all these young teenagers coming out of the restaurant. I swear they looked as if they were just 16 or 17, having one of them celebrate a birthday. Well, as we were waiting for our table, the valet dude pulled up a BENTLEY coupe. All I know is that a)that car costs over $100,000 and b)the owner must make bank! So yeah, guess who claims that car..one of those darn teenagers! Seriously, I thought I lived a blingy life as a young teen with my benz, but now I have nothing on that!



Dinner itself was amazing. I started off the celebration by announcing a toast in recognizing Nate, our celebrant. I basically mentioned and reminded everyone why we were there, to celebrate the Deuce on passing the boards. It was so great seeing everyone there all happy and proud, especially my mom.

Now for what we actually ate, I ordered the Lawrys Cut, which at first, I thought was going to be too fullfilling for me. I mean, you get the actual prime rib, which is already gynormous! And then you also get the mashed potatoes with gravy, but the best part was the cream of corn! That made everything so much better! Heres what it looks like.


We all knew we were quite full, especially Honeylyn, but you can't have a complete dinner without dessert! So, afer pondering through the dessert menu, we all made up our minds. Nate ordered the creme brulee and I ordered the Haagan Daaz hot fudge ice cream. That was delicous, even though it could be tricky, because most of the top of bowl was covered with whipped cream (making it seam like its all ice cream when it wasnt).





So we were all happy by the end of the night. How much was the dinner? Lets just say it was well worth it. I believe it was in the mid $300s. We even took some home.



After dinner, we drove to West Covina to go visit Candyl at work. Well actually, since she were to get out at midnight lastnight, Nate just wanted to surprise her and make sure that she got to her car safely. Something a nice bf would do. I mean, its West Covina! We got home, late night, and a good dinner. That was a great family-time saturday.

Oh and Minji came over to borrow my blue sleeping bag. (Random)
