what's it gonna be?

life celebrations:

* the festivities got underway early this year with a beautiful day trip on march 3. i met up with mitzi and she ever so graciously drove us up the 101 to the beautiful santa barbara, my first time there! the day could not have been more perfect with warm temperatures and mild winds blowing in our faces as we sat outside on the patio at la salsa, enjoying a quesadilla, ensalada, y sopa. after filling up, we walked over to massage envy and treated ourselves to much needed pampering, an hour to be exact! when we dressed and paid our bill, we stepped out into the santa barbara sun and both said, "i feel like putty!" (or something to that effect). after regaining control of our bodies, we explored our way to the pier where we saw sand soldiers and special guys on roller skates! with the sun hiding behind the hills, we drove off into the sunset, continuing and finishing our catch-up conversation that occurred the entire day. for a mini-roadtrip, we never needed the radio. thank you for living it up with me!

* on march 6th, i received a present from minh. he got me what i've been wanting, even on the brink of possible termination of his job. we figure we can sell it if he needs the money to live. how sweet!

* today, i met up with my darling jeffrey and we had dinner at johnny rocket's. the smoke house was superb and well worth the clogging of arteries. after doing a bit of shopping, we headed over to our movie. because dinner was on him, i purchased our movie tickets. he had given me his student id from uci while i told him of a sneaky plan i had and stepped aside as i walked up to the counter. i told the worker that i wanted 2 tickets to the next showing of "bridge to terabithia." he asked me if i had a student id. so i handed him the id and the credit card. then he asked me if i was a student too. and for some reason, i was torn. i shook my head to be honest but also nodded. so i gave off the impression that i was a bobble head as i said, "no." he gave me the print out of my receipt and said, "you're supposed to say 'yes' to that. but i gave you the discount anyway. enjoy the show." enjoy the show we did, as we walked into the theatre laughing at my bobble head conscience.

cuz i can't pretend
