MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL! in the past week, i've done all sorts of things. enjoyed eden's mass italian supper she made for friends. pesto is the besto. hehe. oh, and i met the fockers.....so uncomfortably funny that i think it outdid the awkwardness of the first one. no doubt. also, went clubbing with my homegurls last night...good times. oddly so, it felt

She has a way of wording questions really EVILY. bah. I have to study for my last two finals

2004-11-23T02:23:00.000-08:00

Try over 35 hrs without sleep!! it's so wack. it's probably gonna get worse these last few days to work on the project. and, i've been speaking more often now with a british accent, similar to Renee's fake one in

2004-11-09T23:34:00.000-08:00

damn. this last sunday was terrifying. while me and my friends tina, lina, and austin were in the woodshop, some fifth year architecture student chopped off her middle finger from her left hand while working the most dangerous tool in the shop: THE TABLE SAW *dun dun dun DUN*. OMG, that damn tool has always frightened all of us...now, we have even more reason to fear it. It was horrible... so

got harassed by Jack Sparrow today. first went to Bob's Big Boy with my cool cuzin Derek..then visited the Hollywood and Highland complex so that he could get some job applications. while on the blvd, some dude dressed in a jack sparrow outfit was just walking around aimlessly. i acknowledged his existence by laughing at him. but of course, i didn't know he was actually paying attention *the

2004-08-17T00:17:00.000-07:00

The blog layout needed a change. And I thought, why not making it my current fave color GREEN. yay. Took the picture myself. I think it was good timing...since, I know I won't have any time soon to work on my blog. School is oh so soon. *cheers* ?? Today...my mom cut and colored my hair this. Tis pretty short, nicely layered, lush brown. I needed a new look for the new school year i

2004-08-15T23:43:00.000-07:00

Had a sizzlin time in Palm Springs this weekend. I chomped down some juicy BBQ steak my uncle cooked up for us...then I watched Donnie Darko with my fave cousins. Took random photos... We went to the Golden Spoon ice cream shop..and it was then that I realized that right next door was the FIRST Starbucks I had ever been to. Ya see, my cousins had introduced me to Starbucks Frapps a long time ago

2004-08-13T22:47:00.000-07:00

I met Heidi Fleiss today. Wait, before you get any naughty ideas forming in that sick mind of yours, LET ME EXPLAIN. Day consisted of walking around Melrose with Lauren who I haven't seen in like an eternity. We didn't buy anything except those darn egg rolls in order to use the restaurant's restroom. Argh. We later joined up with Hailey and Jenny...ventured to Hollyweird Blvd. After

2004-08-11T23:46:00.000-07:00

Been quite the busy bee. The past few days have been delightful. This includes: throwing Katie a surprise birthday party, washing Katie's car the day after we sprayed whip cream on it, playing pool in a non-smoked up billiards place, and then today: karaoke night at Eden's. I also got a lot of business done at USC--including buying books and takin care of financial aid stuff. Today marks my

2004-08-09T00:52:00.000-07:00

short but sweet.. just like me? *ego has landed, ran out of gas* went to family babyshower yesterday. good times consisted of: eating good Filipino food, catching up on family news, looking at family albums, singing karaoke, and checking out my cuzin's apartment down the street. Yay. Overall good clean fun today twas Disneyland. Had the best of times. Thank you Fast Pass! The greatest

2004-08-03T20:40:00.000-07:00

Delivered the "goods" today for work haha. just kidding... twas just a bunch of paperwork from City Hall brought to Building and Safety. Nothing biggy...nice drive downtown. Went to gym later. But, something of note: I'm attempting to finish the mural on the back of my door. Now, Jesus' silhouette is starting to appear more like an actual figure. If you don't recall, I'm painting a

2004-08-02T21:11:00.000-07:00

The garage sale went abnormally well.. twas soo tiring though. Didn't help that some biatch totally ripped one of our signs off one of the poles in our neighborhood. I guess she wasn't that impressed with the sale? heck. But yeahh, twas pretty successful. The rest of the shate that wasn't sold was taken straight to Goodwill. just when I thought my day was over... Around 4:30 I went to

2004-07-30T22:49:00.000-07:00

Another One Bites The Dust----- LITERALLY Duude, for the past week, I've been sorting out junk with my mom..and it just so happens, alll the junk is totally dusty and dirty. My allergies are so forked up right now *sneezes* I know that once tomorrow's huge garage sale is over, all this work will have been soo worth it. Yesterday, I went around LA with my mom, my lil cuzin from Britain, and

2004-07-27T18:46:00.000-07:00

There's this conspiracy against me. I wash my car...takes like, an hour to fully clean it. I even freakin WINDEX the windows and dust the inside. Then, overnight, the unthinkable happens....some bird evily shates on Pristine. And, it's not on the roof..it's on her WINDSHIELD! Even worse: it's a bunch of bird shate that is soo juicy that it drips down the glass by like, at least 10 inches.

2004-07-23T23:36:00.000-07:00

Nice rather full day today. dyed my mom's hair in the morning..looks pretty good. Bonus: got paid for doing it. hehee. Around 2 pm, picked up Faiza and then met Erin at the Grove for some good times. Stuffed ourselves quickly at Farmer's Market, then watched Shrek 2 FINALLY. Twas a tough crowd indeed. It seemed like it was only us three who were laughing the entire time. But seriously

2004-07-22T20:19:00.000-07:00

It is decided: MC Hammer on "I love the 90s" is SERIOUSLY on crack...make that...mentally disturbed. OMG. He makes me laugh for sure...yet for the wrong reasons haha. Wow, I remember when he was cool. Make that, "cool". Went to gym and work today...sang along to "I'll Remember" by Madonna while in the car. It's all about the harmonization. ya damn right. And i know this is random..but I

2004-07-20T21:36:00.000-07:00

HI. my name is Leslie.. and I'm addicted to joy rides. Couldn't sleep much last night...had a busy day yesterday with Eden (read her blog for the details :) We're having construction in our house right now so I had to sleep in the den which wasn't too comfortable. Because of lack of sleep...i ended up starting my day at 6 am. Decided to go driving and then go to the gym. Funny thing

2004-07-20T21:04:00.000-07:00

finally got these pics uploaded could he be more obvious?

2004-07-18T22:14:00.000-07:00

today was spontaneous. The parentals and I decided to drive to Santa Barbara where we ate at Acapulco (a tradition of ours) and then walked "The Art Walk"...which is where all these arts and crafters set up their stands and sell their stuff every Sunday. We've been walkin it ever since I was a baby. In the parking lot, I met this total pothead hippy guy who reminded me of Hollywood's "Dennis

2004-07-16T21:35:00.000-07:00

dudes, i cut my hair. totally awesome. quite short. not tooo short. still longish, still layered..still intact ;) YEAH. i'm declining to poste a picture for fear of giving it all away. so.. till u see me in the flesh! tootalooo

2004-07-14T20:52:00.000-07:00

I was quite the adventurer today when it came to driving.. I HEART joy rides. Today was absolutely brilliant for a number of reasons...Let's just say, I can finally breathe and sleep better again? ;-) yeahhh...well, i WAS having trouble accessing school stuff on usc.edu earlier.. BLAST technology! Ah. Anyways...tomorrow consists of cleaning Pristine..she's been shate on so much that I can

2004-07-13T23:55:00.000-07:00

This randomness made me chuckle.

2004-07-12T23:12:00.000-07:00

Today was my first day "on the job". Technically, I guess you could say I have a "job" right now. It pays pretty well and has quite flexible hours. haha. No further comment. I'm rather pissed at picgoo.com right now.. in fact, I'm pissed off mainly about my pictures and their uncooperation. Technology continues to work against me. BAH. For the same kickass pics, head on over to Erin's live

2004-07-09T19:59:00.000-07:00

INSANE-----that's pretty much what summed up all of today's occurrences. hehe. Further details follow starting... NOW NOTE TO BORED PERSON(s) READING BLOG: My day is written in stages so ya'll don't get confused: Stage 1: Arrived at Hollywood and Highland complex at approximately 7:30 am with Erin, JP, and my cousin Derek. Just the night before, we had made the coolest, CORNIEST posters...

2004-07-06T21:35:00.000-07:00

Somewhat busy day...drove mi madre to Joann's Fabrics over in Glendale in the morning. Spent a shateload. Later, drove my dad to Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena on da freeway...almost got in semi-accident with merging truck. ew. I loathe merging.. I want to beat it with a stick YOU KNOW WHERE. okayy, anyway, I think drivers should learn to lay off girls experiencing those PMS kind of days.

2004-07-05T21:47:00.000-07:00

I am very disappointed in RipwayDOTcom. WTF is wrong with my forkin pictures?! Jeepers! Here's a public viewing of the pics that were supposed to show up yesterday... http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?selected=336590 ANYWAY, today consisted of very swell times. I first ventured to Eden's house around 9am. Yes, quite early considering twas july 4th yesterday...but yeah, I wasn't

2004-07-04T20:05:00.000-07:00

HAPPY JULY 4th/ INDEPENDENCE DAY everyone!! Yayy...go America. As you all know, I'm pretty patriotic.. "pretty" is an understatment. More like.. disgustingly patriotic. Just when I thought we weren't going to do much today in order to celebrate our freedom, my parents and I actually DID go to Ronald Reagan's Presidential Library over in Simi Valley. Lucky for us, parking wasn't bad and we

2004-07-03T21:34:00.000-07:00

Wowww.. I drove all around LA today. Not much traffic downtown due to it being a Saturday, not to mention a holiday/3 day weekend. Duude, I drove by the fashion district, Philippe's on Alameda, and of COURSE by SC. hehe. I was about to drive over to Erin's house for a short visit, only to find out she was in Santa Monica. *sigh* I'll see ya soon chica. Oh yeah, and I drove right by St.

2004-07-01T19:56:00.000-07:00

Setback of the day: my little Hawaiian Dashboard HULA MAN can't fit on my dashboard. The poor lad. I mean, he's already proportionally inaccurate..and now this travesty!?!?! His eukilele shall play sad loner songs for now. Yayyy, drove my parents to USC to run some errands. Twas a chillll ride. Me LIKEEE. hehe. I found that the campus still looked oddly the same cept for some

2004-06-30T22:58:00.000-07:00

Two Wonderful things happened today. 1) I BOUGHT MY FIRST CAR!! Tis a Chevy Prizm and i named it Pristine for the following reasons: a. it's in pristine condition, b. sounds kind of like PRIZM, c. tis like Stephen King's book on a possessed car named Christine. hehee. I'm sick like that. I won't put up a picture of it on my blog, you'll just have to see it for yourself *wink wink* 2)

2004-06-28T20:30:00.000-07:00

Okay, I WOULD blog about this past weekend's wonderful treat--aka, the beach bonfire shared with fun people. But, lotz of others (namely Eden, Guz, etc) have already summed up what occurred..rather succesfully too. I really had a good time ya'll. Thanks for everything, I desperately needed to see familiar faces, even new ones. Hopefully more kickass get-togethers will be in our future. Random

2004-06-24T21:35:00.000-07:00

So it started like this. It being TODAY. In order to keep my mind off the nerve-racking test that I would endure around 3 pm at the DMV, I enjoyed watching various TV shows in the morning, in particular the always entertaining THE PRICE IS RIGHT. I heart Bob. To my amazement, this taping was the one in which Guzman's Latino Floor had won the Showcase Showdown. For those of you who are

2004-06-24T15:55:00.000-07:00

GUESS WHO JUST PASSED HER DRIVING TEST FROM HELL!!!! *grins widely*

Nice day. really it was. full of laughs and THEN SOME. haha. Erin got dropped off at my house around 11:30 by her brother and his kickass Mazda *i want a protege btw..so freakin badly* We headed over to the Frogs to meet up with Renee who told us to be there by 12. So yeah, of course she gets there at 12:30 hahahaa. Wow. Nothing has changed ;) And that's a good thing haha After shopping

2004-06-20T20:07:00.000-07:00

Yesterday... in celebration of Father's Day, my parents and myself traveled to Mojave and viewed the Tehachipee Loop, one of the 7 Engineering Marvels of the World. Did i spark any interest yet whatsoever? haha. Actually, it WAS pretty amazing. We made it just in time to see a train totally loop over itself. Tis hard to explain, but yeahhh. Uber cool train stuff. Had a Father's Day lunch

2004-06-18T19:10:00.000-07:00

Good times with Eden and Lauren yesterday...went to gym. Lauren didn't get harassed by the manager like I thought she would! So KUDOS to her. heheee.

Finished reading Girl With a Pearl Earring today (finally)...so i rented it tonight. yay! After gym, I spontaneously hung out with some very special, cool people: Erin, Eden, Tiffany, and Grace. Good times at Gracie's apartment. wwow. some things never change.. like Sky's gayness, Erin's nonexistent bladder, and Tiffany's admiration of really fine halfy guys "SAMOA!!" hehee. After watchin

2004-06-14T19:06:00.000-07:00

2004-06-13T09:52:00.000-07:00

Random photos i took while touring Honolulu Hawaii. My favorite shots of the city midst the unpredictable weather.

2004-06-13T09:31:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I realized that Eric Palladino (from ER and the movie U-571) goes to the same gym i go to. I saw him and I was like immediately thinking "OMG, IT's TORPEDO MAN!" <--inside joke shared with noneother than Erin. heehee. Twas so awesome. So yeahh, yesterday was wonderful. My parents and I also went car huntin again. Wow, care salesman are so.. desperate to get us to BUY! When all we

What a small world. rented Miracle starring Kurt Russel... twas overly Patriotic= I LOVED IT!! hahaha. Yeah, you know me.

2004-06-09T21:00:00.000-07:00

Ohhhhhhhh, these lax days of summer. Each day, week, month goes by ever so slowly, only to end with a burst of even more happiness.. the happiness of RETURNING.

2004-06-08T16:39:00.000-07:00

didn't do much today except gym and mall. bought bootie socks at good price. tomorrow is my job interview. wish me luck! also, rented From Here to Eternity the other day. Exceptional movie, but toooo many corny love scenes(just my style right?) What was weird was that i visited most of the places in the film (twas set in Hawaii/Pearl Harbor). irky. Also rented MONSTER which had the most

2004-06-07T14:19:00.000-07:00

Our lives are made up of magic little moments which arrive unexpectedly...simple and pure as the first flower of spring. Like walking in the woods as evening falls...reading a favorite book on a lazy summer sunday...Wishing on the same shining star with someone you love. Sharing warm cookies and cold milk with a child--or hot tea and quiet conversation with a dear old friend. These little

2004-06-06T18:39:00.000-07:00

a good mindset, a good story: "The little engine that could".

2004-06-05T13:50:00.000-07:00

Watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban yesterday night... only after finishing the book like, 2 hrs in advance ;) I loved the movie, especially the way it was directed. It seemed very well put together despite the fact everything seemed to be sped up in order to keep the cost/time of the movie very low. What was the point of reading the first 300 freakin pgs?! BAH! Also, a verdict:

2004-06-03T17:42:00.000-07:00

last night was the perfect dosage of fun. Went to the immac graduation and got to see my ring sisters, as well as my friends from high school. And i must admit, it was quite awkward to say hello to some of my ex-teachers. *cringes* Actually, I really appreciate what they've done for me and my fellow classmates. Think about it, we wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for them (however

2004-06-01T21:55:00.000-07:00

Alright.... so I put up this new layout just because I got back TODAY from my vacation in Hawaii. Wowww.. i'm soo freakin tired but, somehow, some way i am still able to type. imagine that. Before our vacation, me and my parents attended my cousin's wedding. Being one of her bridesmaids was such an honor...not to mention sooo memorable. i cried the minute she starting walking down the aisle.

2004-05-20T17:56:00.000-07:00

Tuesday kicked... got to see Renee-nay. Duude, i felt so bad cuz i wouldn't get to see her on her birthday *i be in hawaii*. Sooo, I dragged my bored ass over to UCLA aka "THE OTHER SCHOOL". haha. Despite it seemed as if every bruin gave me the evil eye while i was there, it was a nice visit. I mean, come on. just to see renee is awesome in itself, right? heehee. Also, I gotz to meet her

2004-05-17T19:20:00.000-07:00

Somewhat eventful day... ran a few errands with my dad near USC. went to cup-o-joy..had saved boba balls and put them in the freezer only to realize my mom ate them before i could. rode my bike to the park near my house....too many kids around to fully concentrate on reading harry potter. laughed insanely in my mind as a guy tried to carry his girlfriend up a dirt hill. laughed more when both

FREEDOM They demanded their freedom, they insisted on tastier breadcrumbs, colder water, and bird shampoo. If they had only stopped complaining they would have noticed the door to their cage had never been closed. the end. --Boom Boom Wiz

Now that i'm back at home, i think it's about time that i start updating my blog more often rather than once every freakin month. heehee. So yeahhh, yay for summer! It's pretty weird leaving sC for three months. call it a loss of freedom... call it a break from routine. but at least i'm slowly gaining back my sanity, correct? Today was a good day. it started rather early...i got my hair "

2004-05-13T15:56:00.000-07:00

So about Monday... yeahhh. well, it surprisingly got better as the day progressed. For example, my parents are going to buy me a new bike almost exactly like the last one. I shall call it... "Milton II", in memory of one of the best forms of transportation I have ever have, and will ever have. It's terrible, this feeling of incompleteness. Ever since the incident, I've been checking out all

Donde esta senorita leslie? i've been stuck in a studio for the past couple of weeks. And what a disaster area I work in too. Not only do people spray indoors, but they also are tampering with wood and other materials that have eerie notices that say "Will cause birth defects or cancer". I fear for my future children. Worked in the wood shop today...watched out for my fingers as usual, got

random fact: I am in dire need of a can opener. Here is why.... I absolutely love Spaghettios. Who doesn't, am i right? So I have two cans of some in my dorm room cabinet and it wasn't til I wanted to eat them that I realized that I needed a can opener to open them little suckers. In result of this obstacle, the cans remained in the cabinet for quite some time... resting peacefully..

2004-03-23T18:48:00.000-08:00

Like Eden and Guz.. I've also seen Dawn of the Dead. What can I say.... it was some frightening shate. Nothing like some dead Jay Leno and Burt Reynolds look alikes just limping around. Yeahh...the movie was filled with everything I can't stand: gore, terrible yet hilariously funny one-liners and poorly written lines, and annoying characters who never think much before they leap. That ONE

I am back to a place I can call "home". Yes. Back to my little world at SC. And it's been a superb spring break...however short lived. Good times in San Francisco with my parentals.

Yes... i know. I feel ya. I haven't blogged in a very very long time. Perhaps, this is due to the crazy amount of work I've had in the past two weeks. But as usual, it was all worth it. Oooo.. first a random story...in our last physics lab for this half of the semester.. we made some Ice cream in class with liquid nitrogen. At first I had some doubts as to whether I should consume such

Yesterday was special though, and it was "simply irresistible" heehee ;-) Thanks. But yeahhh, I'm trying to finish this big ass project due tomorrow before the Grammy's come on later tonight. good

A good day in the world of Leslie. Us arch students were told to re-design our current projects by manipulating the ground plane. OMG, mine turned out soooo freakin simple, but I guess it's exactly what my teacher wanted cuz he kept using my project as a successful example of what he was looking for in all the other people's projects *cheers*. Yay, more hard work paid off. It's good to be me

An example of the chaotic environment during HATE UCLA week...a Bruin teddy bear being hung upside down...dragged against the ground. Call us Trojans evil, heartless, uber insulting. But ya got to admit it's pretty damn funny.

2004-01-22T18:51:00.000-08:00

Some random pics of my dorm room that I SHOULD have posted a long time ago but never got around to it. My little corner alllll to myself. We recently moved the beds in order to make our room look larger. It worked! My desk that looks trashed..but in actuality, it's a pretty well-organized clutter. Oh yeah, and the free TV and fridge. good stuff. One of my favorite posters besides

But yeah, it seems like I've found a better server for my pics now, so yay? Heheh. School has been great....USC peeps went back this past Monday. My classes aren't all too bad. Physics scares me (no surprise there), cinema terrifies me (well,

Haven't posted in a couple of days, possibly because not much has happened. Basically, I've been sitting my arse in bed, just resting because I have an awful cold. Yeuppp...nothing worse than being sick during your vacation. ARGH. Anyways, I've been filling my time with various Yahoo games (especially POOL) and watchin TV. I rented House of 1000 Corpses and View From the Top the other day.

The rally began at 6pm and lasted for like, two hours...the best way to spend two hours?!? Screaming our songs and listening to none other than our band aka The Greatest Marching Band in the History of the Universe!!!!!! OMG
