so before how the first three days have just been that i wanted to listen to the song.. over and oer again... today i have put of relient k - forward motion to listen to on repeat while i write this post. so today's productive day started off unproductively at around.. 7 am. for some reason i woke up around this time and got a granola bar to munch on. i did fall back asleep till i think 11-ish. by that time i wasn't feeling motivated to singing.. so anna's ringtone shall wait another day. but since i am blogging early i shall perhaps sleep early as well. giving me enough sleep to wake up early to record anna's ringtone.. i was informed of the pasta and soup waiting to be cooked by my mom's daily noon (usually feels like morning) call. by then i was able to get eilene awake and out of bed. she asked if i wanted to cook it or should she. and since i responded with only a "i dont know.." she ended up cooking it up. the productivity started to kick in around when i signed up for a driver's ed course in the virtual school. although this isnt big on its own.. it shows a sign of progress. i still need to get both classes im signed up for approved by my guidance councilor, so i need to print up a form and get it signed. then i completed my usual daily online schedule of gmail, facebook, deviantART, lifehacker, and checking 30boxes.
i was talking to kim a bit about how to get my learner's permit when through my music i could hear some strong rain against my window. i went over to eilene's room to ask if she noticed it had rained too. she had her shades up on her window and it wasn't till then that i realized how hard it was raining. all the papaya trees in the back were at a funny angle from being pushed constantly by the wind. now you may not know this. but i love standing in the rain. or rather.. i love the feeling i get when i stand in the rain. now obviously that feeling isn't worth ruining a nice shirt or laptop.. so i wouldn't stand in the rain all the time. but when i do get the chance id like for it not to go to waste. in fact.. im so not wasteful of the rain that my mom calls whenever it rains and tells me not to go outside. but this time it was too good to pass up. after being told not to go outside by eilene. i decided to call my mom up and ask if i could go get the mail outside.. heh. she took it more kind-heartedly and actually let me go, which kind of surprised me. so i put on my slippers (one of 4 pairs of shoes that i own.. slippers, evil sandals, black dress shoes and sneakers) and headed outside to go get the mail. nothing interesting.. so i gave the mail to eilene who was at the window probably making sure i didn't get hit by car or even lightning or maybe just to watch my antics. and promptly after handing her the mail i went back outside. yeah! i emulated jet li in the movie -fearless and took in the awesome refreshing power of rain. i refreshingly stroked back my wet hair, and refreshingly did a handstand on the lawn and came back inside. but not before eilene locked the door and gave me a towel.
i guess my day wasn't as productive as i thought.. but don't fret this isn't the end! i signed up for the drug and alcohol course (required for learner's permit) and for the online dmv test for my permit. a total of 60 bucks i only recently got my mom's credit card to pay for it. (it's been waiting to be filled out since before the rain.. i think) so tomorrow im going to study for my permit test. take the 4 hour drug and alcohol course. then take lots of practice tests. and maybe even start the scarlet letter for my summer reading.
so its 11:44:19 AM and i think i still have enough time to talk about hero and reena's reception day. let's hope i have enough memory of the day. starting off with when we were all getting the alcohol from the apartment down to the cars. phann gave me the keys to reena's car while he ordered up and arranged the stuff in the van's trunk. i went upstairs to get the last few times, and the last thing to be taken was the door stop.. miller light. hahaa. in the van was ricky driving.. phann in shotgun.. then from left to right.. eilene me and pearline. in the back.. a whole lot of drinks. i don't remember the exact place that we were at.. but it was really nice. right next to the smoothie shop. and in the same city as a famous kitchen supply shop. the first order of business was to find out where to unload everything. we were all directed to the bar and the refrigerators. with the drinks separated into needed-to-be-cooled and doesnt-need-to-be-cooled-right-now. we headed to the store to get four bags of ice 20 lbs each. ricky was a big help with knowing what needed to be cooled and how much ice to have. i think he went to bar tending school? or something a long those lines.. and oh! if i forget to say it somewhere within the posts i have so far.. ricky is reena's brother! it was me ricky and pearline getting the ice. pearline was mostly there to get amped an energy drink to keep her well and alive. some how i picked a retarded shopping cart when we went and i had to actually lift it up off one of the broken wheels to let it move.. which it did in only one direction.. it didnt turn at all! i had to lift it up on two wheels to turn it. im not sure why i didnt change out the carts when i had the ice loaded and ready to go.. pearline did take a while deciding which energy drink she wanted/finding out where the drinks were. when we got back, we put the ice in the back fridges but had some difficultly doing so. all the bags didnt fit right in there.. so after some pushing and rearranging.. we decided that we could just put it in the other fridge no harm done. while carrying the ice forklift style.. both my forearms felt like they were frozen... solid. oh wells.. we set up the tables with nice looking stones and candles. which i do have a picture of.. but am too lazy to bring it here. with most of the work done some of us got bored and decided to dress up for the reception. myself being one of them. hero and reena practiced their 1st and 2nd dances and basically everyone else got ready. sometime mid through the getting ready the parents showed up. i occupied myself with pearline's ds playing disney meteos and waited all around the place leaving the ds in the bridal suite of course. for the day reena left me her camera to take pictures. some of my pictures are displayed in hero's facebook album along side the professional photographer's pictures. oh man, im glad i captured some nice moments. i think if i get a nice small point-and-shoot in the future it'll have to be a canon powershot. i have a pack of cards from my brother with it's picture on them. and had nothing but good experiences with them. i absolutely hate kodaks though. nothing but bad experiences though with them. while sitting around the bar and dance floor.. the first few guests started to arrive...
to be countinued! another cliffhanger. to be started from when the reception actually starts.
i think i might leave this blog private. still private in the sense that i wont tell anyone about it. the other one doesn't get many if at all viewers. so the only direct way to get here is to check out my blogger profile. which has links to all my blogs. and the reasoning behind the mostly hidden blog is because i might want to write some more personal things. and i dont want to have to consciously censor myself in what i want to say. always thinking about who's going to be reading it. so far.. only one known reader.. but im not even quite sure if she actually reads the posts.. or just knows of the blog and checks it when she remembers.. hmmm. i think ill leave the private content for another day. and just to leave myself a small reminder.. RACHAEL!
p.s. it is currently 12:18:16 AM at the time of this posting...
