You guys will never believe what happened last week….

Ok last Wednesday, Tori, Wilfred, and I got an invitation to go attend the Stanford meeting kinda thing, for the upcoming students who might consider going there.  Tori’s mom decided to take us along since they were going anyway, and we didn’t have anyone to go with.  So we got to the place and it was awesome, it was my first time there…at the Museum of Arts or something like that, at Balboa I think,  and I saw this place where I decided to have my wedding, if I am ever to marry.  Anyway, we got there early and we had 30 minutes to kill.  Tori’s mom decided to get something to eat, and some drinks with caffeine.  She didn’t want to fall asleep and same with us.  So we went to this fancy restaurant, where we felt out of place because we felt and dressed up all Ghettos and yeah, but we decided to stay.  So we ordered up and ate, went back to the place and sat there for something hours.  They showed us a clip of Stanford, and it was interesting at the beginning, but it didn’t really pull my attention.  They didn’t talk about the one thing that I am really interested at, and that is dancing.  So I wasn’t really amazed by it because they lacked information about what I wanted to hear.  So it ended at around 9 I believe, because the host was bored.  It was so obvious that she didn’t want to be there, but she did the presentation anyway.  So I don’t knoe…I might consider going there, but its not like I’m gonna get accepted, and who to say I’m gon afford it, so yeah… but it would be cool just to have it as a “plan” because its almost our college careers and we’re growing up so fast.  Next thing we know, we’ll be adults…and I don’t know I’m ready…but yeah… anyway…and then…

Okee Friday morning, I was told by Auntie (tori’s mom) that I was going to LOMPOC..where ever that is.. anyways… she told me that our KUMO (hope I spelled that right, means teacher) for HULA wants me to go to LOMPOC along with the HULA sistas!! I was a bit shocked because I thought he only wanted his ADVANCE group!! Well it turns out that Auntie Cheryl (sorry if spelled your name) lend her Van to Uncle Joel, our teacher, so he could take more people.  So I called my mom at work to inform her about our plans.  We’ll be gone the whole weekend and be back at late Sunday.  I couldn’t reach my mom at first because the stupid workers were hanging up the fone on me. Damn bastards!!! Anyways.. I finally got the hold of her and told her about the stuff…she asked me what my departure time was and told me to ask my dad for money.  She didn’t want me to leave with no money and stay with someone else’s house and depend on them to feed me.  So I hurried to pack my things…I didn’t know what to wear. They told me to bring my bathing suit just incase we go swimming. So I did, I took all my back clothes (if you know why) and put it in my sister’s BRATZ bad because I couldn’t find one.  Then I called Auntie Cheryl back and told her that I can go.  She immediately called my KUMO and informed him about me, and he was OK.  I hurried to practice for Guard and later..Auntie gave me a ride home to pick up my MULAHS and my stuff and went back to their house! Then, we found out that our teacher both took Sable, and Chelsea, but the van can only hold seven people.  He thought it can hold eight, but that’s Auntie Wendy’s van.  So we had to eliminate one, and I swear, our teacher made it seem like it was a reality show thing that you see in MTV.  I felt bad for Chelsea but we had no choice.  So finally we loaded our stuff in the van, and made sure that everything was there. 

We wanted to make sure that we’ll be comfortable on the trip, after all it’s a 6 hours drive.  So on the way there, we had nothing to do.  We stopped by at National City and went to the bakery of some sort because my teacher bought something.  I was really hungry because I didn’t eat yet and I just came from GUARD practice.  Luckily Desi, one of my HULA sistas had sandwiches in her bag coz her dad made just incase we get hungry.  OH GOSH it was awesome!! We finished it before we even left San Diego.  So we were off to LOMPOC.  At first we decided to watch TITANIC coz Tori had a portable DVD player in there VAN so we watched it…I didn’t feel good the whole trip because I felt like I was gonna vomit.  We didn’t finish TITANIC, but it was something hours drive past by and we stopped by at BURGER KING to get something to eat.  I dint eat at all coz I dint feel good.  So everyone got some food.  So it was along way ahead of us before we reach our destination.  We had nothing to do the whole ride and we weren’t allowed to sleep because Uncle Joel didn’t want to be alone.  So we told scary stories, and Kelly was really scared.  haahah it was so funny!!! Unlce Joel told a story too and everyone got scared.  not for me …I wasn’t paying attention.  So when we stopped to get food, we past by Medieval Times, and Knots farm…Kelly keep saying to sneak in, yeah right!!! So anyway…we were almost to our destination point, and I’m telling you the road was pretty scary.  It was so dark and all you see were trees everywhere.  We were on this one long road where you cant see any car infront or behind you.  all of sudden we stopped at the traffic light, and we saw a car in front of us, and behind us.  We were like… “where’d this cars come from?”  Finally we reached our destination and we got there at 1 a.m.  we left SAN D at 7:45 and got there aroung 1 a.m.  Kelly couldn’t sleep or didn’t want to sleep because she was scared.  Auntie Julie (Related to the Rodriguez family) was still awake when we arrived, and she got us some blankets.  We slept on the floor all of us.  This is where I’m gonna have to leave some stuff off because I don’t want any one my HULA sistas to get mad….

Saturday morning, we had HULA Practice.  We tried to squiz our booties in the living room, and we practiced there.  After that, Auntie Julie cooked us Breakfast, and boy it was good!!! After that long ride, we were pretty hungry.  Uncle Joel told us to hurry up eating coz we have to go to the church, where we found out that a festival is taking place at.  So we hurried, and we got to the church.  We practiced there a little too, and waited for Uncle Joel’s band.  We met one of his dancers from Bakersfield, and her name was ALENA.  She is a really good dancer and she was really nice.  We expected to see the LOMPOC dancers coz Uncle Joel said that we were going to practice with them.  It turned out that they are no longer in our same group.. they go to a different school or whatever now.  So we had to stay the whole Saturday there with nothing to do.  We watched people perform..mostly Mexican dance.  We got free food, and free cotton candy.  Everyone was so nice to us, and they were treating us like royalties…Chamoroo people are so nice…. Later that day, we finally saw the LOMPOC dancers and they are good.  We recognize some of them from when they went down here in SAN D but there were lots of them dancers though…anyway..not all of then talked to us..only Michele,  Julie, and Alison little sister… Oh well…they were nice to us,…..especially there parents.  So we chit chat for a little and when the festival ended..they cooked us dinner.  It was good…I was so bloated and I couldn’t eat anymore…the food was great.  Then we practiced some more with Alena, and the band…they’re pretty good singers and instrument players…there awesome….. after that, we waited for Uncle Joel to finish eating, and the other girls ate again.. as for me, I couldn’t eat anymore, I was full.  Then we went back to Auntie Julies house and took a shower…(you don’t have to knoe the details about that)  we went to sleep and woke up da next day.

Sunday…it was finally the day of our performance.  We were all excited and wanted it to get over with so we can go back to SAN D,  no offense to LOMPOC people, they were really nice, but there was nothing to do for fun there but Bowling, and football games.  Oh did I mention that LOMPOC has a lot of Lakes and it is next to the Ocean, and that is why I believe its freezing there.  Anyway…we woke and didn’t go to Church early, we ironed our clothes, took a shower, and head to the Church.  There was a Starbucks on the way and our teacher was nice enough to stop by and let us get something… oOoO nothing beats Starbucks!! Anyway…I guess a Frapuccino in a cold morning was a bad idea for others, but it was great for me.  So we got to the church met up with the band, and practice some more.  Finally the Festival opened and we saw lots of performance there.  The Pacific Legend, or I call the LOMPOC dancers were to dance before us…they did lots of dances and stuff…finally it was our turn to dance..we got ready…I was so scared at the beginning but we all wanted to get it over with,…I was smiling the whole time..everything was going great.. ALENA was awesome so was the rest of  the NATIBU group.  It was our fifth song, I believe, when I felt something on my leg…right when my teacher called to bring our legs together, I smashed what ever was between my leg…all of a sudden I felt this pain on my leg, and I looked down, I saw bee hanging on by its stinger,  It stung me!!! OH GOSH!! It was my first time being stung by the bee and it hurt like BSOCH!!!  OH GOSH!! I heard to get the bee off my leg and I did, right when my teacher said to get off the stage, I ran and started crying… LOLLy ran to get some napkin, to take the stinger out, and Tori took the stinger out of my leg… I was crying coz it was hurting, and we still had to dance…so we changed ..and Cameron, Alena’s younger brother, told uncle Joel, and it was our turn to dance again, they got me some ice, and he put a band aid on my leg…he asked me if it was hurting and I said yes,…he said “Oh its still inside” I got scared and told him not to scare me….so we danced..and I was able to kept the smile on my face….i kinda messed up coz all I can feel was the pain on my leg, and when we were doing our dance Southern End of Guam, I saw another Bee and I got scared.  LOMPOC has lots of BEEs everywhere…and they’re all yellow.  Finally the dance ended, and everyone loved us, especially Alena, they loved her coz she was so good.  Everyone was screaming for us, and we were changing back to our clothes.  Uncle Joel went inside and said, “Good Show” and they told him about my leg.  So we changed, and my leg was still hurting, they gave us ticket to get our food, and deng it was good!! It was half a whole chicken for 5 dollars, but we got it free.  So everyone knew about my leg, and everyone was so nice.  They were trying to find some Pain killer for me, and they were so worried about me…Luckily I wasn’t allergic to Bees or else…I would have been yeah…we ate our food, and Alena and the others said Bye coz they left…and we were just eating…it was around 5 pm when Uncle Joel said that we were leaving. We packed our chicken to go,….said good bye to all the people and thanked them for their kindness..and hit the road.  They told us that whenever Uncle Joel is going up to Lompoc, we should come along…. So we hit the road…and we kinda encountered traffic at Santa Barbara…but other than the ride was good.. I was so sleepy because I guess coz of the medicine that they gave me.. I woke up and they were watching a movie….so we were doing good at time…we stopped by at the same BURGER KING to get food….and we hit the road again…on the way home..we did some Karaoke on the back..Kelly, Sable, and me…sung and acted a little…most of the way home, we told scary movie…Sable, and Kelly were getting scared and they were screaming..so we stopped coz they didn’t want to be scared anymore…we finally reached San Diego, and we just listened to the radio… we reached our destination, and dropped off Sable first..then Lolly, then me…and so fort… We did pretty good on time coz we reached San Diego around 10 something and got dropped off at 11 so yeah it was good.  I dint want the trip to end but Uncle Joel had work the next day so yeah… Oh wells that’s what happened last week…the long hours of driving was worth it..i enjoyed a lot..except for the part where I got stung..but other than that..it was awesome!! We have another performance in LOMPOC on NOVEMBER ..so yeah!!! WOOHOOO!!!

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! and if you are wondering what they are saying...here just read this and you'll understand..

I just cant understand the hearts of men
they tell you they want you and then they leave you
this is the first time, you're special
I believed those words and I was so happy
@
you should have told me you didn't like me any more
but I couldn't see that and you just rushed me
although I will curse you I'll still miss you
since I am a girl, to whom love is everything
@
i heard that if you give up things too easily
to a man, he will get bored with you
i don't think this is wrong
a girl says that she will never be fooled again
but she will fall in love again
@

you should have told me you didn't like me any more
but I couldn't see that and you just rushed me
although I will curse you I'll still miss you
since I am a girl, to whom love is everything
@
narration]
Hey babe
the pain
it's not enough to describe how i feel
we were so happy together
but I know now
I've been blind
you told me that you'd never let me down
whenever I needed you you'd always be here
I can forgive but I cant forget
even though you hurt me
I still love you
I still love you
@
don't take advantage of a girl's willingness to do anything for love
and her caring instinct
i didn't know that to be born as a girl and to be loved was so hard
although i will curse you i'll still miss you
since i am a girl, to whom love is everything
although i will curse you i'll still miss you
since i am a girl, to whom love is everything

And thats what it means!! haha yeah

K bUh Bye noW
