SoHo with Johanna!

I was about to happily blog about my afternoon but something just killed my mood. I'll still blog but I won't put my whole heart in it. Which sucks. So, moving on.

Today, I was planning to meet my mom in SoHo 'cause she promised to help me get some new shirts 'cause my old ones were too short. Guess what? I forgot my phone AND iPod today. Uber tight. I then decided to go home, get my stuffs and go meet her. But after I reached her on Johanna's phone, she was already there. So I went with Johanna to go meet up with her.

Johanna had time to kill so she spent the afternoon with me. My mom's foot was hurting so I told her she could go home after leaving me some spending money. Johanna and I went to Payless first: I needed shoes. Well, wanted. Most of my shoes are sneakers or my sister's dead flats. I wanted my own ): ! We both had loads of fun at Payless: Johanna was trying on some random shoes and boots while I was looking around for flats and stuffs.

Yea, Johanna found one of those long Converses and decided to try it on. It took her forever to stick her foot in and tie it up. I tried on at least 3-4 pairs of shoes while she was doing it! After we had our fun, I bought one pair of flats and a Van-look-alike. It was comfy, so I don't care. I'm totally going back tomorrow for the pair of boots I fell in love with. Heh.

After Payless, we walked down Broadway and stopped by H&M. We saw a zipper-up skirt and decided to try it on. It reminded us of Phoebe and her "easy access" skirt. We each got a dress shirt and tried the outfit in the fitting room, both of us camwhoring while we were at it.

Yea, that's me, IN A SKIRT. My legs are so dang thick. ); After H&M, we left to Forever21 'cause I saw a shirt the other day that I wanted. It was a plain T-shirt. I need a new one, badly. I feel like I'm wearing the same-ish thing every day and my T-shirts shrunk a bit in length. I bought a grey one and a white long-sleeved one. Then Johanna and I walked by the accessories and I saw nail polish. It's a weakness of mine. Took me 10+ minutes to decide on which ones to buy. I stuck with the metallic emerald and purple. $2.80 each x] !

We left Forever21 and came across a new store: some Halloween thing. Inside, there were so many Halloween/costume stuffs (obviously). I also found OPI nail polish. Now I don't have to buy online anymore (: ! And we also saw venetian masks. I don't know why, but I have a thing for the Victorian age and masquerade and stuff. It just... intrigues me in a way. I find it elegant and romantic in some ways.

After browsing the Halloween stuffs, we were getting hungry. We decided to get some Jamba Juice; it's been a while. Even though it was cold today, we shared a Sixteen smoothie and a flat bread. All the seats there were taken so we sat outside, in the cold, on a bench in the middle of the street. No lie. It's one of those mall thingys you see on highways. Well, people call them "malls." I think of them as mini-parks...in the middle of a big street.

We ate, chatted, took pictures and just chilled. It was a nice afternoon and lovely bonding time. I definitely don't regret taking my point&shoot around. I can' wait 'til more spontaneous things pop up and I get to use my p&s.

I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy this little mini-project/new habit.

Shopping at QCM = fun!

Today was an epic day. I loved it. The group and I (Louise, Johanna, Howard, Max, Ron, Sam and James) all went to QCM for shopping. We've been planning this for about a month? We had a set date by last week-ish.

In the morning, we all stopped by Louise's place 'cause she said she was going to cook us breakfast. The R was extremely slow this morning x_x ! She had rice. And milk. AND SPAM. So I was good. I ate a lot ._. I've been eating a lot since...I don't know when. Where did I get this appetite? Well, at least if I burn it then I'm good :3 !

So we helped Max pick out 5 shirts. He needs jeans though. He and Ron didn't know their sizes...how sad. I think Sam and Howard were the only ones. -shrug- I asked Sam and just estimated. I was close! I was only one size off for Max but exact for Ron. Yay. Oh, Max's shirts are so not him...just not in a bad way o-o? He's always in white. We got so many colors for him. And Howard. Ron got all white. I think Sam only got black and something else. Johanna got a couple of graphic tees from AE and I got one from Aero. I also got a pair of jeans and a fluffy sweater. -hugs-

After we ate at the food court, Ron, Max, Sam, James and I had to leave. Like good little children. We took the train straight from Woodhaven to...who knows where. It was a hilarious train ride. I don't regret not taking a nap. I think a bit after we finally reached Manhattan, Max had to pee. He drank who knows how much iced tea. After than, Ron had a slight urge but it was uncontrollable at around Court St. Yea, we took the R all the way 'cause everyone was too lazy to get off to switch to express.

It's almost Atlantic and Ron and Max look and sound like they were in such pain. "That's it, Max. I'm going over to your place for the bathroom." I was pretty tight then. There was an N train approaching Atlantic with our R. I got ready to leave-the first one to get off the train-but the stupid N train didn't wait for me and the doors closed before the R even stopped. "Yay, more moral support!" Lawls. I ended up being the last one to get off the R. How stupid.

Max and Ron had this whole plan set out: power walk, don't sprint. Sprinting/running makes it worse. It was hilarious. When we were approaching Prospect Ave., Max's stop, lots of people were crowding around the doors and Max said, "Oh shit, so many people." He and Ron somehow made it to the front of the crowd and we saw them sprint for the exit. it was funny as hell. They said no sprinting but I guess the urge was too bad. From what I heard, they ran to Max's house, ran inside and nearly exploded. Ron came out of the bathroom sweating. LOL.

After they got off the train, Sam had to pee. James and I are just like: oh shit. He only had 3ish stops so it was...better? Well, he had to wait for the D since my N came first. Ha. James got off at 53rd and I got off at 59th. Yea, last person to get off the R. Could've been the first -_-!

All in all, today was a good day. Some pics are up on Facebook. I'd put them here but the process is too long. I'm sort of in a rush as it is. My internet nowadays is extremely limited. If I stay downstairs too long, I get scolded. For what reason? Who knows -_-...

I'm tired. I think I should do my exhaustion test tomorrow if I can. If not, then I'll just follow the week 2 or week 3 schedule for the next couple weeks just to keep fit. The push-ups are getting harder. The sit-ups are still okay for now. Must lose abdominal flab. My goal for the rest of the summer. I see handball for a whole week after Louise leaves. Lawl.

Dang, I wrote a lot today. Well, I should. I sort of want to write more posts like these. It means my day was interesting and not the same old same old shit. Well, I hope I get ot write more soon. I love days like these with people like them.

Thanks, guys. And now good night (;

Back from Jersey Gardens

Today, my family and I went to NJ to shop for swimsuits (Carol and I) and groceries (for tomorrow and Monday). We bought so much food to make sandwiches for both Sunday and Monday 'cause we have plans. All-day plans. Dorney Park tomorrow and beach on Monday. I'm going to be so black on Tuesday.

EDIT: This was supposed to be published on Saturday but I totally forgot this existed.

Basically: I loved Jersey Gardens and bought two bikinis. The End. :D

Lovely MJ Afternoon yesterday

Yesterday, Louise, Howard, Johanna and Max came over my house to chill. We didn't have anything planned and we were all broke so we thought of something cheap-ish to do: go over someone's house. We bought turkey to make sandwiches so we don't spend too much on lunch and bought drinks at the supermarket. We only played for two hours and we were getting tired and bored (two hours STRAIGHT) so we took a break. Johanna and I took a lunch break while everyone else just took an MJ break.

I'm not going to go on and on about my day/afternoon with them. They came pretty early though. Louise, Howard and Johanna arrived by 8:30ish and Max came soon after (like 9ish?). They didn't leave until 5PM. In short, it was a relaxing and somewhat fun day. Don't you guys agree?

Ahaha, Skype afterwards. It was the usual funny. Sam was talking a bit more; kinda unusual for the Fish. We had fun on Skype, as always. No matter what's going on at home, when I go on Skype and I'm chatting with the crew, I automatically feel so much better. They make me forget the shit that's going on at home. I really love them. Yea, I'm being cheesy right now ): !

Well, it's Saturday morning and I'm off to go shopping in NJ with my family. BJ's first then hopefully Jersey Gardens after. I'll probably be back on Blogger tomorrow night if not tonight. (:

Oh, and happy belated birthday to my dad !

Shopping in SoHo

Today was a JAL day: Johanna, Angela, and Louise. Well, a JAL afternoon. We were going shopping in SoHo. Well, I was. I needed some new tops and what better place than SoHo for the time being? We were supposed to meet at 11AM but due to family and train problems, I didn't arrive until 12. They were there early though. :x But they weren't mad...'cause I bought Jamba Juice for them. But that was later.

The first store we stopped by was Uniqlo. It's the Japanese clothing line thing in SoHo - the only one in the USA. I bought a pink-ish V-neck Tee, a blue-ish tank top and a gray tunic-like thing. I'll post pictures of the gray one when I wear it Monday (: !

Not much happened today. It was a fairly relaxing day with JAL. I think today was like everyone's break day, or something. Although I could've done well without the constant taunting from Louise, it was fun. :P

Now, it's 1:16AM. I'm hungry and a bit sleepy. Maybe I should sleep, but I had a 2-3 hour nap earlier...nah, I'll go sleep D:<

Good night. (: !
