| I can't sleep. Im frustrated that my clock won't let me sleep even with a freaking sleeping pill.. So im just waiting and chillin...
It's been quite awhile. Uncle Luis Rimorin, the eighth oldest, third youngest of my mom's family passed away last monday in his sleep around 1245. He had liver cirrhosis and and complicaitons which caused him to go :(.
So in less than 24 hours, me, my mom and uncle bebot bought plane tickets and headed out to the philippines. My mom was just there a little less than 3 weeks ago, my uncle last april 2008 and i haven't been there since i was 6. which makes that what 17 years ago. The trip itself was fun, and was an eye opening experience in seeing how the philippines is now. But the main purpose of it was because uncle luis was there.
I saw soo much family that i got so much information, old pictures of my family background. Makes me feel proud to be ilocano. We were at pasay city, laguna, manila, baguio and ballay, laguna naguilian, where my grandparents grew up in. It makes me realize how much I'm lucky here living in the states nad having my own bed, a bathroom and toilet and everything here in life. I wish i had stayed longer..
I will eventually write the stories of my vacation trip sometime soon... i just hope that the meds are kickin in now.

| I feel like a schizophrenic person or some random multi-tasker.. I don't know how to explain it. Good news.. Nam's coming home soon in less than 48 hours. Bad news.. My Uncle Louis is in ICU for multi system organ failure due to his lungs, kidneys and liver. He has a distended abdomen, weak, and is in excruciating pain. God please let him be from of pain and help him recover. I don't know what im supposed to feel. happy? numb? I just don't know. My mom told me that when he was in guam he kept ignoring his sickness until it got worse and when the worse part came, he was in denial. Then he went to manila for a second opinion from a doctor and whaddya know. it's not a good prognosis.
From a public health standpoint, primary prevention is the way to go, why wait until it gets worse and let your problems and stress increase when it at the wrose it could possibly be, you become terminal and ultimately the disease beats you, not you beating the diseae. why uncle must you do this to yourself? I just wish you could get better and hope that everything will work out for you.
Hopefully a week from now, me and my mom and fly to the philippines and see my uncle. yay!! i can go to the philippines.. i wish i can be on wowowee. it's ok. family is blood. family's what most important regardless of the conflicts between aunts and uncles.

| Yesterday, was by far a happy day. I was able to talk 2 nam soo much!!! First it was at 1230 the other morning for about 40 minutes, then he texted me while i was going to school, then after class we spoke for maybe a good 30 minutes and then last night we talked for another 40 minutes. It made my day grrrrrreat knowing that's either a phone call or text message away. That silly boo, he bought the text free light on my ipod touch. I just hope that the hotel he's staying in next will have wifi.. how can you not, ya know?
Today, im running with Lorena at the lake. im excited!!

| Last night, work was slow, and all of a sudden I had the missing blues for awhile. Work wise, i was fine, but personally, I wasn't... I know all I keep talking about is how much I miss nam..but i can't help it. I think last night I was up til maybe 130 or almost 2 waiting for him to go on any networking sight in hopes of telling me of how the wedding and how much alcohol he dranked. Nope... Instead, I talked to his little sister and my pet peeves about nam. How unfamily he is.. Ironic I say that..Well my example was that he doesn't want to see his grandparents. He has six. yes. Six grandparents and mine are all gone. I hardly knew my paternal grandmother, but it's like the presence she had and hearing stories about her makes me wish i knew her more. I hardly knew my maternal grandfahter but, as the same goes, he was one strict grandpa that hardly let my mom do anything... Back to Nam, i got a text from him this morning at 3 or 4.. Dangit i missed it too. I guess the elevator ringtone of my text messages just put me back to sleep.
Speaking of phones... I really want to get the new Iphone GS. it looks soo sick and it will be mine someday, if I can somehow get out of the agreement with Verizon or wait until Next March... So far away. But the cool thing was that my Ipod touch, if connected to some microphone/headphone set, and has internet, can be a phone too!! Just use Skype!! I love Skype. I was able to talk to nam and hear his voice for like 40 minutes or so the night before the wedding (friday afternoon).
Speaking of weddings... I always think about how and what my wedding will be. Is it me or is it just a girl thing? Well this is my wedding fantasy.. let's see how close this will happen. I want a huge wedding. Hopefully, our wedding would be on our anniversary but it falls on a sunday in 2012. It would be nice to have it at Good Sheperd where everything happened to me when i was younger. But since I wasn't confirmed, and my babe's atheist, that will never happened. I want Magenta and a nice gray color theme. Magenta/Watermelon, because i like that color and gray because that's nam's 2nd favorite color (Viking Purple is the first). My dress ideally, would be a Vera Wang strapless dress with lots of lace and intricate beading that would probably cost like 10 grand. Yea.. that's right 10 grand. Then I would probably have my hair half up half down with curls. I'll have my friend who is super pro at makeup do my make up. Due to the size of our families, the bridal party would be like 40 and the guest list will probably be like 300-400. Yea, I know, the cost of attendees alone for food would be like the cost of a new Lexus Rx300. So either Church or even better, a ceremony at a secluded beach somewhere in San Diego. Then the reception would be at Loew's Coronado Bay Resort where we head our senior prom together. My cousin's brother in law would be the DJ. The cake would be from extraordinary desserts. My photographers would be the same ones who did my cousin's wedding in January. I have no choice in what we eat as long as family and friends are there. People from like the philippines, and east coast hopefully will fly out and come. And as long as there's no drama between family, I would be super ecstatic if that happens. We would have some sort of performance line up which would include some polynesian dancers and you know the typical things that happen in weddings, Father-Daughter Dance, 2Mothers-Son Dance, First dance as a couple (choreographed by kevin lol) and of course the famous the dollar dance. I think we would have a cash bar and of course, we would do some picture slideshow thing. Oh and also can't forget, we'll have starcrossd films do the cinematography of the wedding. So with all the things i want in my wedding... man I can see the cost being like 80,000 or even higher. I probably should start saving some now if I want that to happen.
Our honeymoon would either be going to all the romantic places in europe even though nam's would probably be to half of them for 3 weeks. Screw all the tropical places, I'd rather go sight seeing in paris, italy, spain, and england.
That's all i can think of at the moment... Oh yea.. I think i would hire a wedding coordinator/ planner too just like that one movie Jennifer Lopez would be nice...
Can't wait til that actual day comes:)
