for some reason i'm sorta home sick. haven't felt like this in a really long time. i think it's because i have to start work tonight and i just came back from a nice long vacation. but damn feeling home sick sucks especially when you are home alone. that's one of the things about working at night. everybody is at work during the day and you get stuck at home not doing anything. i could be doing something more productive like working out, cleaning my place, washing my truck, and cycling, but damn, i'm too damn lazy right now. really wanted to go back home this weekend but air fare is too expensive and i'm not really in the mood to drive from SF to LA and back over a 3 day break. anyway, just wanted my fam to know that i miss you all very much and i can't wait to see you all soon!!! love you!

FINALLY

went into work last night, checked my mailbox and FINALLY saw my official 12 hour schedule. i've been trying to switch over to 12 hour shifts for quite some time now. many benefits to it! only have to work 3 times a week, get more time off, and get paid more. can't complain about those 3 reasons. i even had to "threaten" work that if they weren't able to grant me 12 hour shifts that i would quit. i was actually serious, too. it really makes a big difference. so starting feb 10 12 hour shifts are in full effect. will definitely have more time to go down south and visit my family.

speaking of family...i miss them! it's only been 2 weeks since i last saw them but i really do miss hanging out with them. we usually don't do much when i go down with dee. our usual routine is EAT, hangout, EAT, rest, EAT, sleep, and then all over again. worth it! haha...but seriously, it's just really nice to be in their presence. miss and love you guys.

it was an awesome weekend. way too short, but it was definitely worth the time. everytime i go back down south i always wish the time went by slower. was only able to spend less than one day in irvine and less than one day with my family. congratulations to LOG for an awesome spirit rally. liwanag still amazes me. it's been about 2 years since my last meeting as an official member and there are sooo many new faces. i'm glad that there is still excitement and love for the group. i am sooo thankful that i was able to see somne alums this weekend. seeing these group of people reminds me how much liwanag has influenced and molded many lives. i pray that future generations continue to strive to make liwanag a family that new and old faces can come home to! i really mean that!









here are some pics of my family...can't believe my nephew is growing so fast. wish i could be there more often to see him grow up. miss and love you mom, dad, ate, elisha, tim, charles!
