| It's been HELLA long... |
[Jun. 3rd, 2006|02:34 am] |
So, I've typed up this entry...my most recent blog entry. I don't even think anyone reads this anymore, but whatever. As always...you can keep up with my on my xanga AT cymbalfive ^_^
So, I realize that it has been a great while since I’ve posted in either of my blogs. Therefore, this is cross posted. Fabulous. As of approximately 7PM on Tuesday (May 23) evening…I am on summer vacation. Relieved is the best way to describe my feelings right now. Let’s find a place to start shall we?
This semester was INSANELY CRAZY. Let’s start on the work front, I guess…I still work at the same place…we’re waiting to see how some budget meeting goes to see if I will have my job past July 1. Truthfully, if I’m let go due to budget-eh. Anything to benefit the program, I guess. (Okay…so, I started typing this a while ago. I have since received new information…and I will type about it later on) I would love to find a job that could help me move out on my own. I have submitted my resume to the Doubletree Hotel in San Jose. I SHOULD get off my ass and look for more places of employment, I’ll get around to it. I went from conducting two musicals to conducting none. Wow. Harsh sounding. I suppose I should work chronologically….
The Notre Dame musical…I had an AWESOME time vocal directing at Notre Dame…and I’m glad I was able to return there. I had a great time and I’m glad that I have an open invitation to go back there. I was so sad to see the show close. I’m sad that I didn’t get to see the show at all. See…I was supposed to conduct the show which would have allowed me to watch the show every night…but no. I had a flake of a piano player, so, I ended up having to play the show. Instead of watching my students with pride, I had my back turned to them through every show. Damnit…and I can’t wait until the DVD comes out. On the same note, it was announced that a music director position was opening up at Notre Dame. I was told to submit a resume…I did…and had an interview set up and everything.
About 24 hours before the interview, I found out that there wasn’t enough student interest in the class. So, the position was closed. ::sigh:: I was totally looking forward to it and was totally hoping it would get me out of the house. That’s when I decided to go out on a limb and apply at the Doubletree. We’ll see how that goes. I don’t know if I can handle full time, but I’m totally willing to see how that goes. I’ve submitted my resume to a YMCA in Saratoga. Do I REALLY want to lead a day camp? Yes and no. I feel like I’d be the oldest one on staff. Eh. I just want a better income..which is really hypocritical towards anything I’ve EVER said. I’ve always said, “It’s not about the money.” In all reality--at this age, it’s all about the money. I want to move out…I want to do things, how is this supposed to happen without the proper funding behind it?
Anyways…moving on to Jekyll and Hyde with Sunnyvale. (I apologize to all those involved and I still feel really crappy for it.) I had two orchestra rehearsals--they didn’t go perfectly, but they were completely exceptional for the amount of rehearsal we had. We went into the first night of tech and we had a lot of holes in the pit due to conflicts which were known prior to the rehearsal. I’ve worked on 15 or so musicals (that’s not to include the shows I work at my work)…and in ALL those shows, I have NEVER seen or witnessed such a horrendous tech rehearsal. There were so many problems and issues that couldn’t be recovered. I had a terrible time…I was running on about 45 minutes of sleep because of a project/workshop due earlier that morning. And I was all nervous and shaky because I tried to wake myself up with a caffeine drink. My arm started hurting really bad and I just didn’t have a good feeling about the tech rehearsal. I didn’t think I’d be able to improve the situation at all even though it may not have all been my fault. After talking to the producer and director of the show multiple times, I came to the conclusion that I should resign the music director’s position. I didn’t announce it until later that night…what ended up happening though was that the guy that took my place decided to replace some of the musicians I brought in. Over the course of the next two rehearsals, I went through a major emotional battle with the pulling of my friends from the pit. Then they thought I was creating a coup d’etat because I said I was “going to talk to my people” after one of the tech rehearsals when in reality I was going to clear some air with Ian because they pulled him all of a sudden and I didn’t get a chance to talk to him before he left. They thought I was going to gather everyone that I brought in and walk out on the show. I ended up playing percussion for the show (double duty on one night) and I think I played piano for one night. Yeah. Insane…as situations kept arising, we kept wondering “what would have happened if I was still conducting the show?” It all still worked out, yes. But…CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY situations.
I guess this isn’t really working chronologically--but I suppose Cinema Century is definitely worth mention. ^_^ Our workshop rocked…only to say the least. ^_^ It was a CRAZY ass ride. I pretty much lived with Michelle, Alli, Chad, Mike and Jason for about a week straight. I was so happy to be done with our workshops, but it was sad to let go of such a great group. Our group couldn’t have fallen into place any better. The workshop itself is pretty indescribable. I think we beat the odds and definitely went above and beyond any standards. We had a great group--and I seriously don’t think it could have worked out any better. I had some fall outs, but I knew that and I was the first to admit it. I didn’t think of it as “Psh. I don’t know what the hell they’re talking about.” I admitted it to my group, to our professor and to myself. All in all…we enjoyed each other’s company and we had a great time working together.
::Thinking:: What else happened? Was my car accident this semester? Yeah, it was. Not too bad. I just backed into a pole in one of our stupid parking garages at school. Took off my driver’s side mirror…I had a SWEET rental, so, I didn’t really have any complaints.
Something pretty major that has happened this semester was that me and Johnny celebrated our eight year anniversary. EIGHT YEARS!!! Thank you to all who came out to celebrate with us…it was so nice seeing you all there! What does the future have in store for us? We still don’t know.
Okay…let’s re-visit the work front, shall we? It’s been a little crazy with work and school…as it usually is. We closed “Seussical” and in the same week, we auditioned and cast “Wizard of Oz.” Shortly thereafter, I find out the budget meeting has happened and my job position has in fact been cut. Bittersweet. Very. I love my job…there are aspects I will not miss, but in all, I love my job. I’ll miss it a lot, but it’s not like I’ll be far. I’m still working on the summer musical under contract…and I will be unemployed as of July 1. I haven’t dipped into the world of not being employed in three years. I don’t remember what it’s like. Speaking of which…happy anniversary to my job…June 1 marked three years on payroll…and I suppose my venture into my last 30 days of work.
I missed out on life this semester. I got way too involved in everything I was doing and missed out a lot on what was going on around me. I’ve learned something very important this semester…well, I suppose I’ve learned a lot…but friends aren’t always who they seem to be. I think it was on an episode of “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” where Carlton said “People are only your friends for what you can do for them.” So true…undeniably. Another quote I picked up this semester was from Hitch…”Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the moments that take your breath away.” I think I’ve gotten so involved with impressing and being there for other people that I haven’t had the opportunity to sit back and enjoy my own life.
My grades for this semester? So-so. I didn’t pass two classes…well, one I dropped and just took the fail in it because there was no way my late add was gonna get approved…and the other…well, I thought I was going to pass. I passed three out of my five classes with flying colors. I suppose I’m thankful for that. I was going to find a job this summer, but I’ve changed my mind. I think I’m burned out and I just need time to process events and thoughts. I need to enjoy my free time for once…and maybe for once in a really long time, worry about myself…and my own well-being. I need to really analyze how things have been going for me and really make a plan for school. Up to now, I don’t think things have exactly gone according to plan…and there are a lot of self improvements that need to be made. I need to get a move-on on all that.
I guess that’s as much of an update I can get in for now. I suppose it’s time to actually get this posted…being that it has been about a week or so since I actually started on it. What are some plans for the future? Well….here’s how it goes so far.
With my loss of employment and my venture into being under contract again, I have rehearsals in the morning from 9-12. Not too bad…I have fourth of July week off…I plan on doing a LOT of lounging this summer. It’s well needed. I need to get myself back to the beach and active again. With all the stress and stuff I was doing this semester, I gained a LOT of weight. I was already overweight and it’s even worse now. I’d like to start riding waves again…maybe even get to bike riding just so I can get to places and be more active at the same time. I believe I am going to Las Vegas again this summer with Johnny and his family. We’ll be leaving after the summer show closes.
As for the fall--I have pretty much decided that I will do NOTHING except attend school. My parents are going to HATE me because I will seriously be broke. I’m not marching at SJSU (again, something for me to get used to. I marched six years straight. This is my first year without it.)…so that frees up three afternoons of my week…and I won’t have my theater job by then, so, I won’t have to worry about shows, setup/strike, tech week, etc…am I teaching? Only a few people know the answer. I’m about 98% sure on my decision. When it’s 100%, I will post it. However, I am counting on dedicating 100% of my time to school. I’ve already said that it’s time to think of myself…and work on myself. I think it’s high time I work on that. On the flip side, I am playing with the idea of starting private piano lessons to earn some sort of money. Again, a decision hasn’t been made. I’m still thinking about it…It is possible, but we’ll see. I’m sure I can come up with the customers. What do you think?
Alrighty now. This is seriously long enough. Hopefully I’ll get back into the swing of updating regularly again…hope everyone is enjoying their summer…and if you’re not on vacation yet, then…good luck on finals!!! Take care…and I promise I’ll be back soon!!!

Summer has just been working, rehearsing and shows. Yeah.....that's about it.

Hello again....
So, SJSU is going a lot better than I expected. It was really easy for me to get used to it and cause mayhem on campus. LOL. I find myself excited to go to school and anxious to see people everyday. I've been slipping in one of my classes...I'll be okay though. I just need to write my paper and such.
I'm thinking of actually marching in a drum corps this year. I went to a SF Renegades camp this past Sunday. The cymbal line seemed to have really liked me and I think they really want to keep me. Before I make any final decisions, I have to make sure everything will fall into place. I have to get used to the different technique and such....I think if everything goes through, it'll be really cool.
My winter perc group is doing quite well. We just have a lot of fine tuning to do. They took second at their first competition, but there were only two groups. Nonetheless, they got second. LOL.
I have a lot of things on my mind right now, so, I'm having a hard time thinking of things to type. Sorry. I don't update my xanga as much as I used to, but I update quite frequently, so, you can always check it out!!!
I gotta get going. I want to try and get some decent sleep tonight. Buh bye!

| Well La dee da.... |
[Jan. 18th, 2005|08:59 am] |
Not much to update. I'm just on this really REALLY long winter break. Why is that?
Well, you see....my previous school (DeAnza) is on the quarter system. My winter break started on December 10 and they went back to school January 3. SJSU, which is where I go now, is on the semester system. They started winter break a whole week later and I don't start school until January 26. Wonderful. I had this really long break and I somehow didn't know what to do with myself, except now, I'm wondering why I was so anxious!!! Haha.....on January 3, when my brother and Johnny (....and others on the quarter system) started school, something wasn't right. I felt like I had to be in school. Nah....it was just me being lame and I just slept in. Hahaha.....
Let's see....I last updated in November....
Since then the holidays have happened. Good times....too bad my Grandpa wasn't there. =( Weird though. We were at my uncle's house on Christmas Eve. What happens? We're all in the kitchen talking, eating....having a dandy ol' time....then the microwave turns on. Out of NOWHERE. Nobody touched it. I was looking that way, so, I know nobody touched it. We all just looked at each other. My aunt says "Grandpa just wanted to say Merry Christmas!" Yeah. He woulda done it if he was still here. I think he's one of the people I get my cookiness from. We're both the type of people that were always just wanting people to be happy and in any situation would make people laugh.
My family and I took a vacation. GOOD TIMES. It was nice for us four to get away. It's probably been something like seven years since the last time we all took a vacation together. It was cool....
I've taken up sewing. I've made a blanket for myself and blankets for other people. Aren't I a geek?
As usual, updates are on my xanga. I haven't been updating daily like I used to. Just haven't really had the drive to, I don't know why. You can go there though. http://www.xanga.com/monilicious
and you can check out some pictures at http://photos.yahoo.com/monibugaoan@pacbell.net
I love working near a main street. I just heard sirens passing us by. Yay!!! Hahaha.....
Alrighty....I miss my friends. IM me!!! Monica677 ( I have another one that most people use to IM me, but that one is just easier to type out and stuff. But they're linked so they sign on at the same time )
Buh bye now!!! |

|
| WOW....two updates in a month... |
[Nov. 1st, 2004|10:10 am] |
So....hahaha.....I've had a trippy year. I hardly think that "trippy" is even the right word.
Nothing much happening except for getting into a rut with admissions at SJSU. I need to go take over their job or something. They're kinda...hermmm....dumb? I've explained to them numerous times my situation, but yet they call and question. Boo to them.
So, this Saturday after the SJSU football game as I was in the game day parking lot a drunk dumbass was talking shit...driving mind you. To cut a long story short...it came down to him yelling "I'll fuckin' run you over" to me and Johnny and I yelled back "Go the fuck ahead!!!" And here he comes towards us and ends up hitting me with his car. I'm okay....nothing serious...going to the doctor today at 245.
What a year I'm having, huh? LOL. I wanna get outta bed now. You can read my xanga for an detailed version. Alrighty....buh bye.

| Wow.....almost four months ago..... |
[Oct. 11th, 2004|10:25 am] |
I know it's been a while.....I'm not too sure who keeps updated with my live journal anyways. I always found this a better place to type most of the time because less people know about my LJ than my xanga. Anyhow....
Since the last time I updated, I have graduated from DeAnza. Well....I walked in the ceremony and I am in progress of finishing my final classes and clearing any incompletes I have. I started summer school a couple days after the ceremony, and I was doing really well. I was quite proud of myself.
Unfortunately, it was during the summer session that we (my family and I) started to deal with my Grandpa's health. Back in May, he started having health problems. He ended up in the hospital twice. The first time he was okay, he just needed a blood transfusion....in fact, the doctor told him to go get admitted and he told the doctor that he'd drive himself home first. The second time was a little more serious.....and that's when they really started to wonder about his health. He pretty much became anemic.....the blood transfusions were what was keeping him alive. They prescribed him with procrit (it's a drug to keep up your red blood cells and it's usually prescribed to patients going through chemotherapy.....i refused it because they wanted to actually give me a shot rather than just injecting me with it. Believe it or not, i'm scared shitless of needles. LOL) Anyhow.....they did a couple of bone marrow biopsies and later on discovered that his bone marrow was no longer producing the blood cells he needed. Eventually he was diagnosed with leukemia. Sometime in June, all of my family on my dad side was finally together and in my mind I was thinking that this could be our last opportunity to all smile for a picture together, so, I decided to have everyone gather at my house for a picture....and I'm glad I did. Less than a month after we took our family picture, we were told that, if he is lucky....he only has six months to live. Funeral arrangements started on their way and we all pretty much just took it day for day. We were going to have a big celebration in September for my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary.....but when my Grandpa went in for a checkup at Stanford....he suffered a stroke that very day. That night, I was at a tech rehearsal for the show I was in the pit for......my brother called and said "Sit down".....Anxiously, I told him "Just tell me"......then.....he told me that "They said Grandpa only has between a couple of hours and a couple of days to live"......I had no choice but to tell him that "I'll be right there". Barely telling anyone I left my rehearsal....and started my streak of what seemed like endless hours at the hospital. It was pretty surreal having my Grandpa in the same patient unit that I was in when I was diagnosed with cancer myself....he was in a shared room, but was finally moved to a private room....and which room was that? The SAME EXACT room that I was in. F-035. The room still looked the same....except, this time....my Grandpa wasn't sitting on the fold out bed, I was....and I wasn't in the hospital bed, my Grandpa was. He ended up passing away four days later.....
It's been hard for me....I'm sure I'm not the only one suffering from him passing away.....but I think I may have been one of the ones tha it hit the hardest. My mom.....the day he went into the hospital.....before we found out the news.....we were talking about it...and she was telling me about an e-mail that she received about an angel and how she thought what my Grandpa was going through was what saved my life from cancer. Well.....there were all these coincidental events that may lead us all to believe that it was true. At any rate, I miss my Grandpa like crazy. Not as much now....but for a while, I was still pretending that he was still alive. I was still pretending that I could still drive to Fremont and visit him...and see him sitting in his little plastic chair watching Family Feud in his bedroom. That's all gone now, all I have are the memories.....and I can't wait to see him again.
It was hard for me to move on, but just as I felt when I was diagnosed, I felt I had to keep myself busy otherwise I'd go madly insane and depressed. So, I continued on with vocal directing my first show with Rainbow Theatre. It actually went pretty good.....Unfortunately, I got a couple of bad reviews from the participant evaluations. But other than that, it went pretty well.....
And yet again....I'm back at DeAnza for the quarter. My last quarter and that's no joke. I failed my stats class costing me my entrance to SJSU. Ugh. All that trouble to petition to get into the damn school....and they wouldn't take me without this last class. It's my fault....but I was also going through chemo at the time. It's actually my last critical class I need to get into the school. So, after I pass this freakin' class...I should be good to go. I have a couple of incompletes to take care of, but that shouldn't be too hard.
I'm back in marching band at SJSU. I have mixed emotions about it.....I love the people.....but I also hate the people. I somehow remember, very vividly....how my first year, we were able to get through runthrus without starting over.....and having people actually pull their heads out of their asses and do what they were supposed to do. I miss that, but oh well.....we're still doing good nonetheless.
I turned 23....nothing big. Oh, did I mention that my 23rd birthday was my Grandpa's 40th day death anniversary? In our beliefs, we believe that on the 40th day the soul leaves earth and travels to heaven. And that day was my 23rd birthday. Just another thing that made us believe that he saved my life. My birthday was okay.....I mean emotionally....I was still at a breaking point, I still kind of am, but not as much now....I had a party and it was awesome seeing all my friends and family at my house.
Johnny and I are doing great. We're closer right now than we have been in the past couple months....or even almost the past year. I love him so much...There's not much else to say. I mean, with every relationship there's the fear of losing the spark somewhere in the long run. Being together six and a half years.....I was worried about it, as well. But lately, it's been brought back. Again, I love him so much.
I experienced what had to have been the most exciting game I have ever seen at SJSU since I joined the band. It was also a really fun band day.....but the game was freakin' awesome and even better....SJSU freakin' won!!!!
Alrighty....I'm outta here. I'm going to Ikea today!!! YAY!!!! As ALWAYS....check http://www.xanga.com/monilicious for updates. Buh bye now!!!! |

| Monthly Update time!!! |
[Jun. 22nd, 2004|05:14 pm] |
So......here i am again. A whole month later....
Not much has happened. Just school and work and what not.
I do think about my friend's that passed on pretty often though. I guess that's only natural, yeah?
My graduation from DeAnza is this saturday. I'm pretty excited. I've been getting pretty emotional over leaving DeAnza, You have no idea how excited I am to finally be out of there (and apparently a community college isn't good enough to some people. But what's funny about these disapproving people of community colleges is that some of the most important people got their educations at a community college....so, they're pretty just doggin' them, too) Anyways....yes, i'm excited to get out of there. But there are people and experiences that I will miss....i wrote all about it in my xanga, so, you can read it there. All in all....it IS a bittersweet process....but I am glad that I will be moving on.
Speaking of moving on, I got a call from my supposed-to-be piano professor at Sacramento State. Trying to pull me to go there....::sigh:: hopefully I will be able to go there.
Hermm.....everything else is going well, i suppose. I have an x-ray tomorrow morning and a couple more finals to take....then I'm all done for the quarter! Hurrah!....except next Monday I start summer school. sucks ass.......alrighty.

Wow. It's been over a month....sorry. People barely check this thing anyways....
I've had a crazy few weeks pass me by.
Two and a half weeks ago, May 6, i had a close friend pass away due to heart failure. I miss Nancy a lot and I think of her a lot...and her poor boyfriend is having a hard time getting by....but at any rate, I think we all miss her a lot. It's hard to grasp the concept that she's gone. I keep thinking that she's gonna call me soon to go see a movie or something. Her boyfriend and my friend called me while I was in class the morning she passed away. I was hoping someone was playing a fucked up joke. Sadly, it was the truth.
We closed "Annie, Jr." at work that weekend. It was probably the hardest weekend i had to live through, not to mention the amount of practically sleepless nights I had. It wasn't until I attended my friend's services that I was finally able to get some sleep. Her services were amazing. Yes of course, there were plenty of tears, but there were also plenty of laughs. And I was happy about that...
A couple days after my friend passed away, I found out that another one my friends from a while ago committed suicide on the same day that Nancy passed away. It was just hard to deal with them both. Ruben's viewing was the same evening as Nancy's services, and I was at Nancy's services and I didn't go to his funeral...I don't know why, but I didn't. And i hear his funeral was one of those "You can still save yourself if you....yada yada yada" rather than a celebration of his life. At any rate....may both of my friends rest in peace. They're both in better places now....
Anyways.....I just finished week 8 out of 12 of school. I'd look forward to being done with the quarter if i didn't have to start school again three days after my last final. =\
Nothing much else is going on. Wow. That was some bad grammar. Anyways....i have to pee. So, i'll be going now. And as usual, you may check out my daily rambles at www.xanga.com/monilicious
Buh bye! ^_^ |

::thinking of new thoughts since last entry::
My room is done. I just have to finish putting stuff away which i barely have the time or energy for, so, hopefully this happens soon. And when it's finally all cleaned up, i will take pictures and post them for you all to see......i'm happy with my "new" room.
Johnny and I celebrated our anniversary. Always good times with him.....we went to LaFondue the night before our anniversary, and just spent the day together on our anniversary. It was cool.....
I started school and i'm in the middle of my second week. It's going better than i had expected it to go....i'm just nervous that i will lose my drive to finish my classes. Sometime within the next two weeks, i should be going into the counselor's office to apply for graduation. And as soon as that's approved, i will send out some sort of announcement....I actually have a couple things to announce. One, of course, being that I'm graduating.
The next thing is that my appeal to SJSU was finally approved and i should be receiving my official acceptance any day now. So, in the fall i will be a student at San Jose State....again, not my first choice, but as i've said before it wouldn't be wise for me to go very far away from doctors and such. So, i'll be here at least another year. You local folks aren't getting rid of me just yet. The though of grad school is still in question. Except, now the decisions are #1) Do I want to get my masters in either of my degrees? and #2) If so, where do i go? Hawai'i or Sacramento? We'll see about this one in a couple of years though.
And of course, the most important thing to announce is that my oncologist has pronounced me cancer free. There is no evidence of cancer in my body and i have one cycle of chemotherapy left. So, on May 4....i will have my last cycle of chemo. I'm thinking of having a party or something. Life has, once again, started to look up for me....and this is something I'm happy for.
The rolling backpack thing is going okay. Haha....i'm still kind of embarassed. It makes me look real lazy....but whatever. I gotta do it.
Like always, feel free to read my daily ramblings on my xanga. http://www.xanga.com/monilicious
buh bye for now! |

Whee....tomorrow i have to work at 3PM. I have to sell refreshments at the high school for the showing of Chicago. (For those of you who don't know, i work for a theater company and our current production is "Chicago")
So, i guess while i'm at work, everything will be moved into my room. Well....no. The flooring will be done and my bed will probably be put together. I measured out furniture today and my room is going to be tight. I want to get rid of my desk. So, i'm selling my desk. It's humongous and it's very very sturdy if you want to buy it. Except....LOL....the only people that read stuff on here aren't local. But if you have a little sister or something, this desk is perfect. It has those god forsaken hearts that i've been trying to get rid of.
Okay.....my room before:
--Original carpet--orange-ish like seriously back to the 70's.
--Wood furniture with hearts on them (i think i counted over 20 hearts once-a dresser with six drawers, a corner piece with three drawers, another dresser with three drawers, a nightstand, a bed, and a deskwith a bookshelf)
--white walls
Now (and after the remodel)
-I got rid of the bed and i want to get rid of the desk
-I got a new bed. It's a loft bed, and underneath it will go a computer desk from ikea, my bookshelf and my three drawer dresser
-The carpeting is getting ripped out and hardwood is being put in, and i will get some sort of an area rug
-The walls are now light blue
......HONESTLY.....a couple weeks ago, i had a sudden urge to redo my room, my parents went along with it and it's in progress. LOL. I can't wait for it to be done. I haven't slept in my room since the day i started moving stuff out which was two saturdays ago. I miss my privacy. I've been sleeping on the futon in our family room.
Wow. I'm completely full of randomness today.......in other news
Today is mine and Johnny's six year anniversary. Wow. 1998 is the year we got together. I was a junior in high school. That was SOOOOOOOOO long ago. The night that we got together still replays in my mind. I thought it was never gonna happen either. I like to sit sometimes and just go over things that we've gone through....who would've known that he would've sat through my battle with cancer. Who would've known that anyone would have.
Hermm......I start school on monday. There's a complete mix of emotions on that one. I'm really excited to be doing something rather than sitting at home and watching soap operas with my mom....i love my mom to pieces.....but i need to do more with myself. I'm scared because i'm scared of failure. It's kind of like my last chance. I want to graduate in June. I dunno....we'll see how it plays out.
I'm not terribly happy about having to use a rolling backpack. Johnny and I used to sit at tables at school and say that people that used those are lazy. Now it's nothing i can control. I can't be doing any major lifting.....ugh....
The latest count is 86 days until my graduation from DeAnza.......and 34 DAYS UNTIL MY CHEMOTHERAPY IS COMPLETE!!! YAAAAAAAAY! I can't wait to be able to go back in the water again, i think when i finally get the okay, i'm going to plan a beach trip. Complete with a picnic, body boarding and lots of friends. ESPECIALLY the ones who had my back from the VERY beginning. UHHHHH! WHAT NOW!!! My poor body board is in it's bag right now......it needs to be taken out and shown some love. It will......when i get this stupid thing out of my arm. UGH! I can't wait to be able to workout without feeling i'm going to faint.....i lost a lot of weight when i had my tumor.....and i gained it all back and i'm very depressed about it. =(
As always, you could read my daily ramblings at www.xanga.com/monilicious i try to check in on here as often as possible. At the end of this month, i will have had this livejournal for three years. I can't believe it's been that long already!......okay. I'm outta here for now. Buh bye now! ^_^ |
