Ok, so wednesday it was like 101 in stockton, 85 in San Francisco.. beautiful day to be in the city.. and a great Giant's game vs. the Astros even though they lost.. but it was nice to see a whole bunch of filipinos for filipino heritage week... Twin Peaks was awesome.. I finally took my boothang there... It was his first time and I'm super glad it was with me (and Bern).. but it was beautiful.. all the lights of the city. You can see every bridge.. even lights glowin from the Oakland Hills..

anyway.. back to the weather.. Thursday it was around 103.. Friday was 104 and today (Saturday) it was about 101 in Stockton.. So guess what I did?!!!!!!! I went swimming at the brookside house with Leesah, Junebug, Cheska, Jeremy, Frank, Megan, Jackie, Jav, Munchkin and boothang JJ.. It was hella hot, the water felt GREAT!!! I got a mini tan.. not the golden tan like from hawaii or the tropics.. it was more like the dusty dark dirt-kind... lol.. you just have to live in Stockton to know what i'm talking about.. I miss the bay.. I really do. I cannot wait to get back in June...So til then, all i do is work for mom, see JJ, gym, and finally a swim..

I'm happy to say that i'm in better shape than when i came home. I lost about 3 or 4 pounds already. I gotta shed about 10 more.. so that i look fly for Leesah's grad/18th birthday.. I'm much excited about that. One thing that's sad.. is that we're getting old.. It seems like yesterday I had turned 18.. and now the baby of our immediate family is graduating.. i can't even believe megan's in the 20's club already.. but, i guess people have to grow up even if you don't want them to.. this year had been very challenging for me.. for school, for work, for boyfriend, and being in Stockton.. But, growing and learning is part of life. I'm glad I took the right way..can't wait to graduate.. Which reminds me of  Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken":

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;	5
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,	10
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.	15
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
