I'm 21! My birthday was yesterday... =) We had a 4-in-1 party at my casa, which celebrated mine, my mommy, my brother, and my lana! I AM HUNG OVER. Yes, everyone made me drink! My cousins & my friends kept shoving shots in my face haha... my cousin Diane even gave me a bottle of Patron for my present. LOL. & for the event, my parents bought hella alcohol... FROM COSTCO. THINK "COSTCO SIZE" OMG. Henessey, grey goose, jack, etc... there was HELLA. & I heard that I wasn't the only drunk one lol. But it was really fun, I'll post pictures when my cousin uploads. I didn't make it past 10 though =\...lol, I'm hella lightweight. Seriously, I NEVER DRINK. EVER. Whenever there's family parties or whatever, I don't drink at all! I'm always with Lana... & last night was the only time. FIRST & LAST HAHA. Everyone said I'm a stupid drunk... I supposedly kept falling down and touching people, and I was crying cause I wanted to be with Lana & they said I kept going "where's MY BABY!?!? I want to see my baby!" Lol, aww.. mommy insticts. But Papa's night was killed off a bit cause he had to take care of me... he was the one holding my hair back through all the yack! Aww, but he loves me thats why.  I even woke up all changed in my pajamies, and he called the night off early to put me to bed even though his friends were still enjoying themselves outside too. Hehe, but yea... I'm a year OLDER. And so is Lana, ahh. She got alot of toys! She has another doll set and a new wubbzy doll and all these new Dora toys & whatnot... she's pushing her "baby" in the stroller right now haha so cute. But oh yea, my cousin gave me a cool present too... THE TWILIGHT GAME. =) I told her to get me Edward Cullen & she did in a way haha... me & the girls have a date Friday night cause we're gonna chill at my cousins house & play it! We're so lame haha... but yeaaaa! Good day. Hopefully my cousin uploads so I can show you all the crazy picturesssss...=) I'll edit once she does!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BABY! =) My Lana cakes turned 2 yesterday. I can't believe she's already two... we decided (me & ryan) to celebrate with just the 3 of us since she's having a birthday party in two weeks (combined with my 21st haha) so we took her to Bounce-a-rama in Milpitas! And omg.. that place is a workout haha. It's like a mini-chuck-e-cheese with these inflatable bouncy houses & huge slides (I mean huge, I went on a few and was suprised at how big they were) and she literally loved them all. =) Here's two videos for ya:




She's so silly. =0)... but hmm. So w'sup since my last blog? Well, Ryan is STILL annoying (aren't they all?) but we're actually doing better than my last entry. That was a big vent... I guess cause we've both been stressed out and we take things out on each other and at the time I wanted to run him down with my car haha but things are good with us. There aren't any problems (no he didn't do anything, I didn't either, it's always the little things that cause our arguments ex. money, time, etc.) and things have been looking up. For one, HE'S STEPPING UP. Haha, yes! He's FINALLY going to school (he started last month) & he's doing this vocational program which I'm really happy about cause he's finally got something to work hard for! So yay for that... and with Lana, his schedule changed so he's home more often. He only works at the restaurant on weekends and he goes to school mornings so he's home all afternoon with her while I'm at school at night.. so we've figured out this balance thing. And with myself.. I FINALLY GOT A DAMN JOB. Haha, yessssssssss. I work full-time at Google now doing Website Quality Control. I start at 5am though which sucks but I'm happy to have a computer job because I hated working in the part-time food industry lol (no offense). But uh, he also had to give up his car cause he couldn't afford payments (goodbye racecar! =P) in exchange for a cheaper used car that he bought from his cousin so he could get his shit together! Yup, since most of the money was going to the damn car he finally woke up and gave that shit back! Now he's focused on paying off debt, saving for our house (our my ring haha), going to school, & being a good dad. BIG TURNAROUND. FINALLY. So that makes me happy! But as for myself... I TURN 21 IN TWO WEEKS. Haha, the 17th. Which is in two Saturdays and I'm having a party which will be combined with Lana's 2nd. but on my terms, I'm doing alright. I'm still in school... almost finished with my AA then transfering to state next fall. My classes are kind of difficult but not that hard as long as I study (which is rare since my schedule is so cramped!)... but hopefully I can get some balance. Ahh, the big issue with me basically is TIME. TIME MANAGEMENT. YES. I've got work, lana, school, ryan, family, friends, etc.... and time flies by so damn fast! I think there should be more than 24 hours in a day... lol. But overall though, things are looking up! I'm trying to stay positive and keep my mind set. I'm looking forward to all the upcoming Holidays, and now that I'm finally employed with money coming, Ryan & I will be less stressed. HA. LETS HOPE. But oh, I do have alot of pictures I need to share... but I'll post them up in my next blog! And I promise to blog more often (I always say that) but foreal this time. Until then though, have a good one mamas. <3

Tada... haha. Look at her smile... she cheeses HELLA hard, she almost looks Vietnamese here instead of Filipino. =) We got her hair did for free. My stylist said NO CHARGE, haha. She's cool... tomorrow I have an appointment to finally cut MY hair at 630pm! Yay. It's TOO DAMN LONG. & I need a new look, any suggestions? I'm thinking long layers, I don't want side bangs anymore cause I've had that style forever... so I'm gonna grow them out. But my hair is reaaaaaally black now. I went over my blonde highlights & decided to go back to black, I like it better though. I look more natural! But yea. BABY GIRL LOOKS CUTE DON'T SHE. =)

ANywhooooooo.. we're going camping this weekend with my cousins! Getting prepared... we've got our gear down almost, just need a few more things but we're all damn excited. LANA'S FIRST CAMPING TRIP. Woo, and by cousins I mean my mom, dad, brother, Papalove<3, Lana, my moms 5 sisters, 2 brothers, my dad's 3 brothers, their children (my cousins haha), my lola & lolo, and in total... over 40 people!
