Mosquitos

Posted by Lena at 03:27 PM on July 2, 2004.

I guess mosquito season has started cause I have like 10 bites on me!! It sucks...I'm very itchy now. My sister scared me yesterday by saying they are spraying Fontana for west nile virus and I'm not too far from Fontana...like 25 miles maybe!! Nah the mosquitos that bit me probably smelled my perfume and they're like wow who's that babe?!?! hahah j/k!!

Fridays are such beautiful days aren't they? But today it just feels like I really wanna not be at work cause looks like a lot of people took today off (there was barely any traffic this morning, only took me like 45 mins to get to work) and my bosses are even gone so it's really really quiet in here, just 3 of us! And I can't believe we get Monday off too!! My boss let us have it!! WHOOHOO!!!!! At least it's a day to sleep in and maybe go to the mall!

Fun weekend

Posted by Lena at 11:03 PM on July 6, 2004.

My 4th of July weekend was a lot of fun! My friends from out-of-town were in town so it was cool to see people I haven't seen in a while. One of them (well it's a couple), went to UCR and then ended up moving to New Jersey for work but are now moving to Chicago cause one of them got accepted to U of Chicago for MBA school...I haven't seen them in 2 years! Then the other one came down from Denver, also is from California. And then my friend Annia came down from San Francisco and I was lucky to get to meet her for lunch on Monday before she took off.

I also got to do shopping!! Good shopping weekend. I went to Dana and Al to Ontario Mills. Me and Dana hit the girly clothes stores and looked around. I was looking for capris cause it seems like everyone is wearing them so I want to too! haha Plus they look cool...you can wear a pretty anklet with it! Then we went to Virgin Megastore and saw cd's for .99 cents. Dana bought me the Erasure one. Thank you Dana!! I love the song "Oh L'Amour" by Erasure...80's song. Afterwards I went and found capris at Robinsons May and the Gap. YAY!!

It's always sad to see a fun weekend end. But looking forward to Friday as always!

Harry Potter candy

Posted by Lena at 11:08 PM on July 7, 2004.

I was at Ralphs this morning before work and while I was in the check-out line, guess what I saw?!?! Harry Potter Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans!! And I was looking at it while in line and on the back it says earwax, booger and other normal ones. How cool is that?!? Next time I'm gonna get that. It's pricey compared to other candies but I want to try it...I wonder what earwax tastes like? ewwwwww.....

Lakers

Posted by Lena at 12:46 PM on July 12, 2004.

Wow Lakers are just totally the talk of the town right now. With Shaq probably gone and Kobe deciding between the Lakers & the Clippers, it's the headline of the NBA and ESPN. Lakers are just cool like that! haha I just hope Fisher decides to stay though it's probably not likely since Payton is gonna stay. But isn't this an interesting pictures...haha Malone looks funny!

Speaking of Lakers...
I was at the gym on Sunday (not the normal gym I go to but in a different city) and guess who was also there...Dennis Rodman! An ex-Laker and an ex-Bull. I would have preferred to see Fisher but oh well. It was just exciting to see a famous person. I took my friend to gym as a guest since I had a guest pass and they made us wait for a fitness counselor to fill out some stupid paperwork before he let us in so while we were waiting in the front area, this tall guy comes and is talking to the lady and I look at him and I say to my friend, look at his nose rings! Doesn't that look like Dennis Rodman? And my friend said that is Dennis Rodman and I'm like nah. So then my friend asked the fitness counselor and he said that it was Dennis Rodman and that he comes there sometimes. He was doing cardio when we went in finally. I guess I'm just star struck! haha I wonder why he's using the regular gym and not one like built in his home or something. Maybe he likes attention. Though no one was talking to him or bothering him. Dude I wouldn't! Unless it was Fisher of course!

Shaq's gone!

Posted by Lena at 12:37 PM on July 14, 2004.

Looks like it's done. Shaq's gone from LA. Shame on him!! It's gonna be sooooooooo weird when Lakers play Heat now!! ARGH!! Now we have to root against Shaq!

ESPN article - Shaq's gone

I'm sure Miami will be happy since Miami Heat tickets will sell like crazy! But now Shaq has lost all opportunity of getting another ring! So phooey on him!
Of course I still like him, he's a cool player, but it's gonna be so strange watching Lakers game without him. I wonder who our center will be now??

Derek Fisher gone

Posted by Lena at 09:01 AM on July 16, 2004.

How could that be?!?! I mean I had the feeling he would leave Lakers but he ACTUALLY left?!?! WHY?!?!?! Does he know that he will NEVER get a ring with Golden State Warriors?!?! AHHHH!!!!!! And to leave to go to another California team??? One up north?!?! Crazy Fisher! I'm gonna miss watching him play.

But I'll still be his fan! But I must root against Golden State Warriors. Boo to them!

Being hooked up

Posted by Lena at 09:21 AM on July 22, 2004.

Sucks! It's no fun...and it's very awkward.
Last Friday, one of our lenders told me that she knows an Indian guy and wants to hook me up with him. She totally over-emphasized him and my co-workers made me go after work with her to meet him. So I did and ewwwwwww.
So I come home and right now my brother-in-law's mom, sister and her baby are here staying with us till next week. So his mom tells me that our across the street neighbor's brother comes over and says are those 2 girls that live in this house your daughters? And she's like one of them is my daughter-in-law and the other is her sister. And he asks if the sister is single and she says yes cause he wants me to meet his friend. So they talk for a while and when I get home she tells me about it and gives me the dude's phone #. I'm like I'm not calling. So Saturday she took me across the street to find out his age and stuff and the brother wasn't there but his sister (our neighbor) told me that he's like 35!!! AH!! So then I get home and we are just about to leave to go shopping and I get a phone call at home and it's the brother. So he tells me about his friend and I ask right away, how old is he. And he's like oh I don't know. Oh gosh!! Anyways...so he's like I gave your # so hopefully you can talk. And I'm like fine whatever. So when we were at Costco he called. He sounded like he had JUST come to America. So I told him to call me after an hour when I get home. So he called and it was so bleh...I felt so weird. Anyways...I found out that he's 40!!!!!!! So that was that and it was over! EWWWWWWWW!!!!! 40!?!?!?!?! MY GOODNESS!! Do I look that old? What was he thinking?!! Argh! I have my co-workers trying to hook me up, my brother-in-law's family, my friends and now my neighbors!!
I've decided...I'm gonna stay single the rest of my life!

Harold and Kumar starts today!

Posted by Lena at 09:54 AM on July 30, 2004.

YAY I wanna go see this movie!!!! Go Kumar!!! Though it makes a wayyyyyyy better last name!

I'm so glad it's finally Friday. This day just takes too long to come. Though my week was good this past week. My brother-in-law's mom, sister and his little niece were in town till Thursday morning so we were entertaining his niece Isha all week. She is soooooo cute and adorable! I took her to the nearby park by our house and she is able to go on the slides and everything by herself but being the worrywart I followed her and I had such a blast going on the slides and swings!! I wish they made playgrounds for 25 years olds! hehe

I also got a chance to go visit Dana and Al at their work. It was nice to see them during the week. And UC Riverside looks so different and wayyyyy too much construction. I didn't see too much but from what I saw driving to the parking lot...wow!!!
