i posted a private blog on myspace last nite, but i realized... hMmm... i'll just stick to my xanga for blogs. plus, its such a tease to click on a blog, then realize its private. UGH! nah mean? yeah. anyway.

its been super HOTT again. like 90s throughout the weekend and into the beginning of this week. im getting tanned. well no.. how bout... im dark. LOL. its kew tho.. its time to bust out those short jean skirts and shorts and flip flops again. i cant believe its already the end of april. time is ridiculously fast. its ridiculous. so it was my birthday on saturday. yay. im 19. already. i coulda swore i just turned 16 or 13 or even 10. but i had a good birthday. simple, but always memorable. i had a choice between a party or an indulging shopping spree. and ohmygaaaaaah.. i just love to shop. so i went back and forth between the two.. it was kinda hard to decide... i mean.. party? thats always fun.. but the way you plan it doesnt always pull through. and ideally it sounded fun. well you kno what. nevermind that. LOL.. i chose to go shopping. so on saturday... we started out with lunch @ mimis cafe (one of my faves next to olive garden).. theeeeen went to one of my fave malls... the santa anita mall. i am materially satisfied. hahaha that sounds really shallow, but i mean, i got what i wanted. and hey, it was for my bday. and on top of that, i got my upgrade for my phone. so im happy bout that too. =) uHmMm... spent most of the day/afternoon in the mall.. theeeen ended it with some good old mcdonalds. LOL. cute huh? yeah. it was a nice day. this weekend was just a blessing. really. =)

oh, lemme take it back a lil bit. friday. mr. mejia took me out to dinner and a movie. we watched harold and kumar... hahaha yeeeah it was funny... its really bad.. i didnt kno it was rated R, but after watching it, YEAH its rated R.. hahahah.. kinda gross, but i guess you just hafta have a really out there sense of humor. hahaha yeah. it was fun. sooo if you ever come across this for some random reason, thaank you for the night out. =)

ok saturday.. my birthday.. then sunday... we went to church in sierra madre (where my dad works). theres a fire goin over there. kinda scary. soo jes keep em in yer prayers. theses fires happen waaaaay more than they should. big ups to all those firemen out there doing their thaaang. cuz DANG.. thats a hard job. theeeeeen later on that day i had practice.. of course... it was one of those nights with b.mod. a lot was said and a lot was put out. everyone opened up and had something to say. it was crazy. i promised myself a year, and i know deep within me im determined to finish what i started. i mean, if things dont work out eventually, well then ok, but ive gotten this far. its a tripp.. like you dont even kno. i owe it to myself tho and to the team... sooo ima try really hard to stick it through.. and b.mod, if you randomly come across this too, thank you for just being the understanding and accepting people that you are. its been a struggle for me to stay where im at, but thank God you guys are willing to let me explain my situations and whatnot... buuuut lets not get into that... =)

i aint gon lie.. but i didnt touch any homework this weeked.. eyy, i turn 19 once so i kinda gave myself a break. =)

and today.. the start of a new week. it was freakim hot.. and OHMYGOSH overwhelming. skool is always overwhelming. *siiiiiiiiiigh. its ridiculous. iono how people do 110% in college..because if you do, you must not do anything else with your time. orrrr... you must pull all-nighters 24/7 because there is NO WAY you can have a job, go to skool full time, have family/church affairs, somewhat manage a social life, a relationship even, and be fully committed to EACH. i mean, its a give and take situation. you gotta sacrifice something for something. riiite? cuz i kno i dont read EACH assigned chapter thoroughly enough. orrr take that extra 30 minutes to make flashcards or go over notes. i mean.. well WUTEV. ANYWAY. basically.. skool is just ridiculous... music test on wednesday. math test tomorrow. poli sci test next week. research paper. essay #4. v for vendetta. study, study, study.. essay, essay, essay... yesssirrrrr.. thats what it is. but on a brighter note, ive been meeting a lot of kewl new people at skool. im sure i ahready mentioned that in a prior blog, but for serious.. ive been meeting people and i love it, nah mean? =) hMmmm... i prolly should set up an appointment with my counselor... eEeeeeE...

this summer will mark a YEAR since our move. faaaaaast. like waaaay fast. but that means we would've completed our 52 visits and can finally settle somewhere. we're planning on attending church in hacienda... starting in the summer. so we'll see how that goes. i miss being involved with church and having a youth group or young adult group.. all that.. its been a while since i've had that kinda support.. so im looking forward to this summer.. =)

finally been driving with the parentals. FINALLY. finally. finally. you can trace back my blogs and how many times this driving thing has been a thing. LOL. yeeeah... got my permit for the third time.. and we just got a new car... soooo ima prolly be rolling in that once i get licensed. finally. *siiiiigh.. see, it all happens in time.. LOL a looooong time.

ok. its 11:55pm. just had to get my thoughts organized and out. errrybody, take care. be safe. &be thankful.
<3, rinakate.

the days have been sunshine. awesome weather... such a tease for what summer is going to bring. gaaah, i can just imagine how hot it will be in a few more months... hotter*

anyway. i feel like its been a while since i posted something. i actually blogged recently, but its on private. obviously for private reasons.. hahaha that makes sense right. and i think i mentioned in my last public blog that i've been writing in my diary... journal* ehem ehem. sometimes writing it out seems more expressive than typing it out on a blog open for anyone to see...whereas my little journal.. its just me, the paper, and the pen... not a worldwide web. anyway... all that just sounds tacky. so i figured.. i could let out some steam and vent in a censored way. cuz my journal? diary? whatever. its just raw... hahaha seriously.

ok...

so spring semester started... we are on week 5 in my english course, so its pretty much been a month since skool started agen. i love my classes. think my classes are good. music 17b (int. piano) is easy... i mean, not to sound all ego, but i learned all that stuff when i was like 7. cuz i took lessons remember? yeah. political science... my professor is so full of personality its just entertaining to listen to her lecture. she really broke the ice with the class, so no one is afraid to talk to anyone. or at least, im not.. hahaha met some ppl there. english 1A? loooove it. ok. well... theres a bunch of reading, writing, researching, discussing going on, but as long as you put in your part, the class is awesome. just the material we're covering is really interesting. and because our class discussions are pretty intense, everyone talks... so its fun. a lot of kew ppl in there too... ehh.. then there's my math51 class. math just sucks. no offense, but its not my favorite. blah. i just finished my math homework a while ago. *siiiiigh. its really stretches yer brain. my homie merle is in that class... so without him, i think the class would be twice as boring. hahahaha how mean. so math is not THAT bad, i just get kinda bored sitting there for 2 hours. HELLO. i know algebra, i just scored low on both placement tests....EH.  so its all basically just review from high school. PRETTY MUCH.

yeah. im still dancing with bmod. two performances coming up this next month. sportsfest on the 5th and fusion on the 13th... pretty exciting. i feel kinda iffy sometimes with how it conflicts with skool and family matters. ive been really holding it down tho. and i really wanna pull through, so im here. i put in my time. and i try my best.. and i make it work out. i mean.. if theres something you wanna do, dont wait for time... you have to make the time to do it. thats what im sayin.... naaah mean? uhmmmm...... yeah.

WHOA. it was a trip. and also a trippp... it just brings back a lot.
-ANYWAY.

MEANING i finally start spring semester on monday. ohmygah. as nice as vacations and winter breaks are, this one was sooooo long, so im actually kinda excited for skool to start (lets hope that i dont change my mind). hahahaha anyway. i decided to title this blog 'rain' because it was raining a while ago. i love the rain. and plus i didnt know what else to title it...hahahah sooo here is my 'rain' blog entry.

we've been in san deeeezy EVERY single weekend this month AND we are going agen this weekend. its awesome. i love going there for some reason. mocha (my cousin's dog) just had 5 uber-cute puppies. they are soooo small. im excited to see them agen this weekend. their eyes are prolly open now and they're starting to hear and see...aWwW.... wish i had pictures to post up. oh, jk. i do. im just lazy to put em...hahahaha.

SO FRESH performance on friday was awesome. i am seriously an adrenaline addict. i love that stage performance feeling. ah gah. i love it! we were close to the end of the first half of the show... then i hadda leave during intermission to go to san deeeezy. so i couldnt see any of the other acts, but oh well. s'all good. our next performance is this coming tuesday @ pomona high school. wowowee.

anyway. thats it for now...
