Its been a week since I have been here in the US and well it took a lot for everything to finally sink in. I was overwhelmed with everything that was going on with my life because everything was happening so fast I was obviously taken aback by it cause I was expecting all of this supposedly by March of this year not February.
After being in a state of jet lag for the past few days, the sudden change of climate and environment I think I am getting the hang of most stuff here. I remember my dad telling me to give myself a week to get settled in and I was trying to push myself to adjust to everything so fast that I just broke down...
For the first several days I kept crying at night while praying since I was literally shocked with how things go about here (which you could also witness in my previous post)... I am the type of person that literally keeps everything inside (you see I am not so good with opening up). And then one morning I just told my brother about it and cried. I was so uptight and stiff with everyone since I kept on thinking I had to act a certain manner but after having that "morning moment" with my brother and giving me a very practical advice of being myself it just made me feel a lot better and ever since then I was comfortable with going about things here in the house and everything that is happening.
As for the other stuff that went on here are the "HIGHLIGHTS" of my week:
MONDAY (2/5/07)
Watched my very first MONDAY NIGHT RAW here in the US on TV. It was so awesome knowing that you are watching it LIVE and finally I could really relate and the best part of it all aside from seeing John Cena is watching it with my brother... its the best moment ever! Though I have to say I was kind of pissed off that for my very first RAW John Cena did not appear that much which was a bummer since I bought his favorite ice cream only to find out he would just appear on the first few minutes of the freaking show.
TUESDAY (2/6/07)
Got the chance to get out of the house and do stuffs and errands with my sister in law which is always great. Oh I also got myself an eye cream because they say that when you start on your 20's its always a good investment to start using eye cream (thanks to Kyan Douglas' book called Beautified). Oh yeah TOGO's has a great ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD.
WEDNESDAY (2/7/07)
Ooh I got the chance to bond with my sister in law again which is always good. I was so excited cause I got to go out of the house and accompany her to one of her pre-natal check up and her non stress test (NST). It was so cool seeing how the NST is done and well so far the hospitals I have been to are super nice. Got to eat at PANERA which has one of the best sandwiches... i love it!
THURSDAY (2/8/07)- Can't remember????
FRIDAY (2/9/07)
Got up early and went to work with my brother and sis in law. I liked the place where my brother works since its such a cool building. So I stayed there the whole day in the cafeteria studying which by the way is very conducive for learning. After their work we went to BUCCA DI BEPPO which was one of my favorite restaurants the last time I was here and well we just had a great time at dinner and well talking and chatting with our waiter. He was nice (and cute too) my Ate has this great skill of getting to know people (which by the way I should also learn) and if I have to realize something I should try and learn to overcome my shyness. People here are very outgoing and friendly and I am still getting used to that part... but hopefully I will get the hang of things.
SATURDAY (2/10/07)
Went around again and bought new rubber shoes at Nike. It was awesome since I have been wanting a NIKE FREE shoes and now I have one. Its weird how in the Philippines how the prices never go down no matter how old a shoe style is so I really got a good bargain this time so no questions asked I got the shoes plus its great for running since me and my brother plan to jog around the area when he gets home from work.
SUNDAY (2/11/07)
Okay when I woke up and then talked to my brother while watching SMACK DOWN on TiVo we saw this commercial that WWE has a Fan Axxess Tour in Hayward which I think was near to our place so we were like come on lets go out of impulse but then we had some errands to do so eventually that plan got cancelled. But it was still a good day because we got to bond at Cheesecake Factory in Palo Alto and just talk we were kind of depressed for some strange reason but eventually prior to leaving the place we got better. Eating dessert can be pretty therapeutic we were just high on sugar after eating a ROCKY MUD PIE and CHERRY CHEESECAKE which was so good and finally my craving for cheesecake is finally done since I have been in search for a good cheesecake ever since I was still in the Philippines since some add gelatin thus the cheesy taste kind of goes away. Plus our server yet again was cute so I was generous enough to give him a decent tip... it was a big deal for me since I treated my brother since this might be one of the last bonding time we might have... so this one was truly memorable.
Before I end this entry we kid around here looking for the HOTTIE OF THE DAY so when we go out we kind of look around searching for cute guys for fun and to pass time. So far we are doing a great job and lets see what happens in future entries hehehe (this is really pointless)
And then... valentines is nearing and yet again I am ALL ALONE. I shall post another entry on this and I swear if I do not get someone by Wednesday I shall sulk in my room and watch THE MARINE which is out on DVD and the UNRATED Version (awesome!)
So now my 1st week is done I have to get my head back in the game and study as hard as I can. No turning back and cannot commit any mistakes so I shall do the best that I can and just aim high!
Well this is getting long so I shall sign out!
