friendly encounter

i had a new friend who was really nice and kept in touch with me by phone and text. i went to the grocery store and he would text me or call me. i went to look at some condos on 167th, and they were really ghetto. i went downstairs to see the unit and it looked like a dungeon. the bbq area was dark and gloomy. the other people looking at the condo were disgusted too. i met up with my girls and i took a pinch of trees from one of them. i went back to my auntie jean's house and saw jada's dad there, djing. he was asking me about killa stormz, i told him it's none of his business. i ended up under a freeway overpass, and i walked out and saw a glipse of my new friend. he had long bushy hair that he wore down, and a 40s suit. i followed him to a black eyed peas show, where there was hella people everywhere. i kept following him, and i ran into dejah and supa, who i greeted with friendly hugs.

la la land...till the wheels fall off.

i was in manila and i talked to momsy and she told me since i'm already in the PI, why don't i get a ticket to davao? i ended up driving around with norm, in some car with messed up brakes, and we kept smashing into cars like grand theft auto. but it didn't mess with me, because everytime i crashed, i just kept ridin'.

my little pony

i ended up at greek chick's house where she was having a party. i ordered a pony from a catalog, and then it arrived when i was in a classroom. it looked more like a llama, and i was pretty concerned with how i would take care of it. i thought about buying a stable.

Pony

To see a pony in your dream, signifies the playful aspects of your life. It is representative of your unexplored, underdeveloped, or undisciplined power.

happy pi day!

pi is my favorite number for the following reasons:

- my name means 3 (and gift of god)
- it's random, just like the sequence of digits following the decimal
- circles are an amazing shape
- it doesn't discriminate, because it has all digits
- it's a symbol, like the artist formally known as prince
- i also consider myself tracendental and irrational
- it almost looks like alibata
- it's constant and can always be proved

i wish i was the genius that chose to hit up pi.

the movie is also hella cool. i remember watching it late one night for the first time and my brain was going crazy! i really understood it, and to prove it unknowingly, i took a pic of the screen and it just so happened to be 3:14 am. i didn't realize that until i developed my pics. that synchronized instant alone could probably be measured in a mathematical equation.

i love it when that happens. i need to find that pic and scan it.

in a parallel universe...

i live in a house with an empty room. it's my favorite room.

horoscope for today, from tarot.com:
It is a fateful day and something may happen that appears to be out of the blue, yet there is also an odd sense of familiarity about it all. This can test your understanding of life, for it seems like what's unfolding now has actually been planned out in some other space-time continuum. Regardless of whether you believe in parallel universes, this one is sure to have some surprises for you.

from astrology.com:
Quickie:
Too much analysis can crush creativity. Don't second-guess yourself today.

Overview:
You're ready to draw up a brand-new map of your future. In fact, a certain rough-looking situation will start to take shape as soon as you figure out a game plan. It's time to let bygones be bygones.

words of the day:

trepidation: a state of dread or alarm; apprehension.

nonplus: to confound; to perplex; to bewilder.

effete: infertile; also, worn out; also, decadent, effeminate.

*******************************

i like to read my horoscope, even if it's not always true, at least it's motivating and gives me something to ponder. like today, i did experience a feeling of trepidation after reading my horoscope, since this day is a "fateful day" (in existentialism, everyday can be fateful, but then i wouldn't be reading my horoscope). the most out-of-the blue happening was cleaning the garage....spring cleaning. definitely something necessary especially since i'm starting a balikbayan box for the fam. but after reading my horoscope and analyzing my day, i have been through this cleaning phase before, and last time i thought to myself:

it's crazy how people spend time hoarding things, only later to spend more time to sort and organize them. in an effort to save something, time is wasted.

oh, what a paradox.
yes, i was speaking about myself, about my family, about you, about whoever. and damn, its's so true. i could have been sewing instead of looking through boxes of effate shoes and sneezing. but it was killing me not to do it. then i realize it's just one of those cycles i'm stuck in again, and maybe this will really be the last time i have to clean the garage like that again.

i'm quite nonplus about the whole horoscope, even considering that i am (over)analyzing it, the exact thing it said not to do. but maybe this is my creative outlet for today?

as for my new future, i'll start to map it out with this plan:
- turn my junk into cash by earning $500 in ebay, garage sales, etc. by june (before i went to the PI i hustled hard on ebay and made $500 in one month)
- i will save only the funky fresh fashions in an organized fashion (I wish my mom saved more of her things from her diva days, besides the crochet bathing suits that i can't wear)

and that's it for now.

$35 worth of memories

i spent some good sun at the flea market today, just like last sunday. only this time there were no churros. so it barely even counts, because the churros are my main motivation. i had a pina tamale con queso and that filled me up just fine. and it was hella hot. and the time changed. (which is really early this year, but i won't go into that right now.)

i was playing around and said to norm, "what if i just asked the churro lady to buy the whole spiral of churro?" i wonder how many churros she makes off of one spiral. i used to stand and wait by the 'lil cart because if you don't wait, you'll get the sucker end of the churro, and those things go quick! (i like the curly pieces.) i watched the whole process of making the churro and it's quite entertaining.

big tub of warm dough. stuff large extractor with warm dough. squeeze out a spiral shape into hot oil. turn over with long stick. cut into pieces. fry until golden. drip dry. lightly dip in cinnamon sugar. wrap in napkin. yum.

i didn't count how many cuts they made on the spiral, but i'm guessing 7. If that's so...$7...i might ask this lady next week! i just have to brush up on mi espanol.

all them cookie cutter churros out there got nuthin' on those folks.

basura por vida.

+++++++++++++++

wasn't looking for anything in particular except for blank (second quality) tees. then i remembered we should get paint. i don't wanna just go out and buy paint. i want to choose from the colors that come out at me. and today, i wasn't feelin the colors: almond and grey. norm found hot pink. i wanted oranges and greens.

in the beginning, norm found this huge woven banig for $5. told the guy we'll come back for it after we get money. came back after our round and he already sold it. he told me i shoulda left a deposit, and i was just hoping the good old word would work out. i guess i don't need it, but i know i woulda used it! i still want one too.

makes me think of other "$5 things i didn't get but wish i did," like those vintage roller skates! (that was like 2 years ago!)

but i did end up getting:
- a vintage levi's sweatshirt- $1
- pinstripe skirt set $5 (rip off!)
- baroque-ish curtains and pillowcase set- $8
- plaid dress $1
- pink blouse $1

i'm hoping to make money off of some of those too.

the lady that i bought the curtains and skirt from also sold XXX movies and random things like anal beads and whips, next to vintage books and disney movies. i was just looking all around and i wanted to see what was underneath something so i picked the something up to look underneath...then ew!! i just picked up some sweaty sweatshorts! sitting right on top of the table by some anal beads, and i didn't even care what was underneath it anymore. i looked around more and the lady came and threw the shorts off of the table.

hella dogs were there today too. some for sale. i brought sydney there one weekend, and she ended up sweeping the whole place up! she looked so dirty! her pretty white fur was all grey!

i'll get into the whole daylight savings tomorrow. i need to save some time now.

bows and arrows

i went to a new thrift store and i saw a woman in the parking lot carrying a long, huge bag. she smiled at me and i wondered what she was carrying. inside the store, i found her shopping down a whole aisle of bows and arrows. a little "aha, so that's what is was" went off in my head. i was surprised because i never saw so many in one place.

even considering i am a sagittarius.

photos

i ended up at this chic's house, with people i never met before, but have seen. i was supposed to go to yoga with them, and that day there was a photoshoot there, well, kinda more like school pictures, but with yoga. i went and got my pictures taken, then decided i didn't want to get into yoga that day, so i went back to their house. guiltily, i used her computer, and jada played around on their beds. the chic's came home with their picture packages, and i was upset that i didn't stay to get mine. i put jada to bed.

then my family came and i saw them taking a group photo. my mom was taking close-ups of my aunt, even though the whole group was there.

i ended up at work, or in some classroom with photos of naked women and books about karma sutra (definitely not a classroom for work!), and i was speaking to a co-worker. she was telling me a story about a third grade girl named tamia who caused a scene. she was exited from the program and wrote a school newsletter about it, telling her side of the story. i thought that was the true definition of the organization's mission statement.

tooth fairy

this mysterious fairy will be paying another visit tonight. she's more impressed by the trinket box than the tiny tooth inside. not that the tooth isn't cool...because it IS, it's just if you care about the after life of your tooth enough to put it in that box, then the tooth must be special.

it's just those adult teeth that are frightening. i think of bad genes, laughing gas, and that nasty gum-flavoured (yea right!) teeth molding gak from my own pre-pubecent years. i know she's my carbon copy, and it's that part of the copy i wish didn't go through.

but you can already tell.

a tooth fairy messed with my bro before. a cruel joke. during a high fever convulsion, she told him he lost his teeth in the back of his mouth. he cried for his teeth, and i expected to see blood and gap, but all i saw was a traffic jam.

"what are you talking about? your teeth are there!"

"my teeth....they fell out!"

now that i see him, he coulda used that extra space.

we are the ones that we've been waiting for

so it's international women's day, and what a better way to celebrate than with PMS and/or mysterious head and body aches? even my blog is sarcastic.

i just don't really feel all that joyous right now, but i'm still with the female spirit. i will have to procrastinate my contributions to the universe until my head releases all of this pressure, or else i'll end up exploding like the big bang theory. i would write my WOmanifesto right now, but it might come out bitter. it'll have to be saved so i can carefully articulate.

i barely feel like talking or thinking, and even the lesson plan that i did today wasn't as WOWtastic as i hoped it to be. i know it's my energy level that's contagious, but when you feel like blah, you get what you give.

mind over matter.

it's also the official end of the mercury retrograde, thanks be to the heavens. unfortunately, it's just a few more days of influence. in this time, i managed to:

-put a deposit down for a new place but then realize i was going into a new situation during the retrograde, so i back out and take my check back
-lose my cell phone, which i barely even use, but still managed to lose (and believe, it's been acting all zany lately)

matter over mind.

i've also had crazy dreams that i wish i could remember more. last night i was on some waterslides playing a portable game system (not sure if it was gameboy or nintendo ds, like i know what that is). the slides dumped into a big body of water. what else happened? damn, i forgot!
