Stephen here. I know, I don't post a lot. But that's okay.
I'm hoping our kid is this awesome.
Well, besides that whole "Dad is too cool to be around all the time" deal.

Momma, I got dreams.
But dreams don't keep the lights on.
(*Just a little Little Brother reference)
Anyways. About an hour ago, I had awoken from a nightmare. However, I had two other dreams before that, and one actually involved Yoko kids- something Aisa and I were posting on FB.
In the first dream, I was at one of the towers in Yokosuka- I always have dreams about the towers. I must have been getting ready or something, but then I start heading towards one of the parks because there was a barbeque going on. The only Yoko kids I actually remember being in my dream were Mari Wallace and.. I forget the other girl's name -__- Anyways. I sit down at one of the tables, and a bunch of people I don't know (or don't remember) were there sharing this fatty cigarette. So I ask them if I can join- I promise it was a cigarette in my dream, not a joint. After fumbling with the lighter and dropping it, they no longer wanted me to smoke with them.
That somehow turned into the next dream. I was watching Sunny Anderson from Food Network (Cooking For Real), except it was a completely different show.
And that somehow turned into one of those nightmares that give you goosebumps because it seems so real. I was lying in bed at night, lying on my side like I always do, and I see what looks like a cockroach antennae come from underneath my bed. Scared to death of cockroaches, I scream while closing my eyes, and I feel it grab hold of my arm and try to pull me under.
That's when I woke up with the chills at 5:30. I immediately called Stephen, who immediately fell back asleep and will probably read this confused because he won't remember at all- sorry, babe!
An hour and 20 minutes later, I feel my body yearning for more sleep but I can't fall back asleep. Not to mention, I also have the theme song from Married With Children stuck in my head. Don't ask. But that is what I will leave you with while I try to find something to do.
Good morning!

Yankee-kun to Megane-chan
Thanks to Stephen, I've been so hooked onto this manga. I just started reading it a couple days ago, and I'm almost all caught up, chapter 43 out of 58 (for now).
The story-line is really good, and it has a little bit of everything- comedy, action, and a little hint of unrequited love. Not to mention, I personally think the main girl (Adachi) reminds me of someone...
Back to reading!

"Say I don't want it anymore."
Not Anymore - LeToya
Late pass on getting myself familiar with this song.
After listening to it, I was automatically set back into my "single days", days of dating one undeserving dude after another, wondering when the hell am I gonna finally meet someone who gave me the hope that gentlemen are still among us. I know that they always say "nice guys finish last", and unfortunately it's true because of all the assholes out there and all the girls in denial of being "that girl" who changed the bad boy for good. It takes a lot of courage for a female to release herself from the unhealthy containment of a dude that doesn't treat her good. When you're going from one bad relationship to another, you always hear that old cliché that you shouldn't settle for anything less than what you deserve, throw the bad fish out because there's plenty more in the sea, etc. But I understand that making that first step is the toughest. It's so hard to finally break that cycle. You go through withdrawals, or you lie to yourself that given a little bit more time he'll finally come around. You catch yourself thinking that if He sees how better off you are now, then he'll change and become that knight in shining armor you've been desperately searching for. Sad to say, but that day will NEVER come.
There's nothing more depressing than having to hear the tale of a girl who truly doesn't know her worth. Or even worse, she does in fact know her worth, yet she's succumbing herself to a guy who swoons her with sweet nothings. There's a reason why they're called "sweet nothings"- as sweet as they sound, they mean NOTHING.
I guess the reason why I'm so riled up tonight is because I spent a good 2 hours today listening to my two best friends talk about their current dating situations. Which brings me to another point: Has it been that long since I've been out of the dating scene, or has dudes' "game" gotten worse? Who "talks game" nowadays anyway? Fellahs, we are in a brand new era. Please leave all that "Hey ma, what's good? Where you stay? You gotta man? etc. etc." back in 2000, because it sure as hell didn't work back then neither!
Anyways. Point of the matter is that all this game playing needs to come to an end. Females need to stop messing around with these two dollar dudes, and guys need to recognize a good thing when he sees it. Point blank period.

Sushi, Serendipity, and Stutter.
Like I stated in an aforementioned post, I FINALLY got the chance to spend all day with my mains. The day started with an 8AM wake-up call from Stephen. Then Noe came over to pick me up around 10. We stayed in my room and played catch-up while Elsa was busy getting ready at her house.
After we were all cutsied up in our sundresses, me and Noe met up with Elsa at Bonsai Sushi. We ate SO MUCH!
We also got a little magic card trick from another customer. It's still blowing our minds!
After sushi, we had planned on strolling around Town Square for a little bit. However, we were driving down The Strip, were about to pass Caesar's Palace, and then decided that we wanted to try out Serendipity 3 because we were so enticed by the movie. Let me tell you- we were NOT disappointed. We only got two orders of dessert this time, but I want to go back and try out their food. If their food tastes as pleasing as their desserts, then I will be a frequent customer. The food is kinda pricey, but I believe it's so worth it. We shared a Black & White Sundae ($14.00) and fried Oreos ($4.50 for 3 Oreos).
Afterwards, Elsa had to go to a meeting at her church, so Noe and I went back to her house. We played with her adorable pitbull puppies (I want one!) and we both had a slice of Hawaiian pizza. Then at 8, Elsa came over and the 3 of us ended the day by going to a hip-hop dance class at Las Vegas Athletic Club. I love how gyms have these classes where you have so much fun and don't even know you're getting a pretty good work-out from it. Anyways, the routine we learned was so fun. After Noe and I turn 21 (because Elsa already is), we were joking around about going to club, requesting the song, and breaking out in routine right in the middle of the dance floor :)
I had such a great time spending time with my girls today. It was so fun to talk about our past, play catch-up on our present, and poke fun at the possibilities of the future. I'm gonna try to not be so much of a hermit crab and go back to enjoying their company, because I missed hanging out with them these past couple of months.
After we were all cutsied up in our sundresses, me and Noe met up with Elsa at Bonsai Sushi. We ate SO MUCH!
- 2 spicy tuna rolls
- "Who's Your Daddy" roll
- Vegas Roll
- Avocado roll
- And a Yum Yum Roll, which wasn't so yum yum

Camera phone videos
Me and Stephen were babysitting Inara, and she decided to drop a massive bomb and stink up my entire room.
And this is Stephen, getting all into playing Rhythm Heaven :)

Bye bye, Vegas heat. Hello, California weather.
From Friday night until Sunday morning, my parents and I will be in Long Beach. Really short trip- we're really only going to be enjoying our time in California on Saturday because we won't arrive until around 10PM on Friday, and we're leaving early in the morning on Sunday- but ANY time out of Vegas is good enough for me.
Unfortunately, it also means that Stephen and I won't be spending as much time together as we'd both like. He has class on Saturday from 8-2 (I think), so he'll be arriving to my Uncle's birthday bash a little late- the reason why my parents and I are going to Cali this weekend.
Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers.

Girl Talk
From senior year of high school to present-day; from rolling deep to "it takes 3 to make a party"; from party hoppin' to kickbacks (aka the two of us drinking at her house with her brothers); from talking to each other all day long to 3AM emergency phone calls. Compared to most lifelong friendships, ours is relatively new but the bond is just as strong, if not stronger. For 3 years, we were attached at the hip, it was a two-for-one deal. However, lately it seems like we're always "too busy" for one another. We live less than 15 minutes apart, yet we're almost impossible to get each other on the phone for longer than 15 minutes. A lot of people may speculate that we're no longer friends or we're not as "tight" as we used to be. Although we may have grown into separate lives from one another, it'll never erase the fact that we'll always be apart each others' lives. The time spent together may have lessened, but that sure as hell didn't weaken our relationship. She's my "sister from another mister", my ride-or-die for life.
And I just wanted to yap about about it because we finally had a conversation for like 3 hours, and we plan to FINALLY get together (ever since May).
That is all :)

Stephen in Vegas: August Edition
After enduring what seemed to be the longest month ever, Stephen finally got a chance to come to Vegas for 5 days. Out of all his visits to Vegas, this has probably been the most we've done (and the most money we have spent).
Wednesday, Day 1 All we did was pretty much run errands. Went to my dental appointment, paid for my Fall tuition, grabbed some yogurt from Yogurtland, did some shopping at H&M, and then had pho for dinner.
Thursday, Day 2 After a couple more errands (my facial appointment and getting pictures developed) we grabbed an early dinner at Raising Cane's, and then the real fun started. After talking non-stop about Shark Week, I thought he'd enjoy a little trip to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. Afterwards, we went to the Coca-Cola World at MGM where we tried different coke brands from around the world- do NOT trust Beverly from Italy! Then we spent a good hour and a half at Gameworks, grabbed some ice cream nearby, and then headed back home. Yeah- the most time him and I have EVER spent on The Strip.
Friday, Day 3 Not as eventful as Day 2, but still enjoyable nonetheless. The day started off babysitting Inara. Personally, I think that's his favorite part of coming to Vegas. Afterwards we grabbed an early dinner at Ichiza, went to watch Julie & Julia, grabbed yogurt again from Yogurtland, and then headed back home.
Saturday, Day 4 The day I've been waiting for! Grabbed lunch at Sammy's Dog House (aka Fatty Paradise), he watched Inara while I was a victim of the itis, and then we got ready to watch Blue Man Group at the Venetian. The show was so good! We sat front-row in the "red poncho" section. I thought we were going to get sprayed with paint, but only Stephen got his laces sprayed with "twinkie". Nevertheless, it was a good show. Comedy and music, good times. After the show we grabbed a barbeque chicken pizza and red velvet cake from the Grand Lux Cafe and then headed home.
Sunday, Day 5 It wasn't even a full day spent together. We grabbed breakfast from Einstein's, and then he left. Our last day together is always the hardest day. As much fun as we had together, I always feel so shattered on our last day.

Neglect.
A day short of a month later. I know I said I was ditching Tumblr to rejoin Blogspot, but there's something about Tumblr that makes it so easy to post so many random things throughout the day; things that I couldn't bear posting on my Blogspot because.. I don't know?
Anyways. Something quick to say that after being apart for a month (which felt like an eternity), Stephen is finally coming back to visit me here in Vegas. It's only going to be a 5-day trip, but beggars can't be choosers. I can't stress enough how much strain the distance is putting on our relationship, but we both know it'll be worth it in the end.
Blah blah blah, no violins needed here, ha. Just decided I'd update with an entry because I'm excited that he's going to be here soon. He just called saying he's in Baker, so hopefully there won't be any bad traffic and he'll be here in about an hour and half.
Later, kiddos!
I REALLY am gonna try blogging here more often. Really, really.
