So, I wake up and look at the clock in my room. It reads 10:00. I panic, but then realize that that clock is wrong. Janiel walks into the room. "Janiel, what time is it?" He informs me that the time is 8:15. Mama shouts and asks what time we're leaving. I totally don't know what to do first because I stayed up until some really late time that night, (Thanks to two little girls who wouldn't let me cry. gonk ) I don't really remember what I did next, but my mom called. She asked what was going on. The original plan was for me to pick up Ruchelle and Krystal. AJ, would be taking the bart station in Pittsburg near her house. Mama would have taken Janiel and me to pick up Ruchelle and Krystal, and we'd meet AJ at the Concord Bart station. This was supposed to start at around 10:00 (Thus the reason why I almost panicked.) My mother was supposed to have picked me up before then, and taken me home so I could get better clothes and my actual shoes (I had taken my leather shoes with me because I felt it matched better with my outfit the day before. ) So then Mom picks me up at about 9:20. She talks with Mama for a while and says that she'll take my friends and me to the Bart station. While we're in the car, Mom says that she is going to drop me off at home and go to a floral shop in Pittsburg. This really scares me because It's already 9:30 by the time we get home. She said not to worry because she has 30 minutes. When I get home, I pick out some clothes. I got a little disappointed I couldn't find my blue Billabong sweatshirt, so I had to wear my 2008 Disneyland Sweatshirt instead (Which I bought on my Christmas Trip. 3nodding ) I took a nice relaxing shower, but my pants were damp, which usually never happens. By the time it's 10:00, I don't really realize anything. I had been looking all over the house for an extra set of earbuds. Then I realized I needed to call mom. I called her a couple of times, (meaning like 10 at most.) She didn't answer at all, which really got me worried. It was already 10:15. I was supposed to be on the road. Dad had arrived a few minutes after I got out of the shower. Mom told me to ask him to bring me to Mama's house so Mama could take my friends and me. He says I'm crazy, then I call mom and she talks to dad. He still doesn't take me. Then mom finally gets home. I get ready to go into her car, but I'm forced into Dad's car instead. I just go with it either way, but am a little disappointed that my mom was so late with herself. I was also very disappointed when she didn't answer her cellphone. Dad drove me over to Mama's house and dropped me off. When I ring the doorbell, a nightmare slaps me in the face. Mama is dressed and ready to go to a funeral. I scream in my head and call Mom, telling her this is all her fault. Then she comes up with the point that it's an inconvenience that my friends don't have rides. It's happened to me before where I need rides, so I didn't want to say anything to her about it. Dad ended up picking Janiel and me up from Mama's house. He dropped off Janiel first so we could get Ruchelle, then Krystal.
So, let's get a recap of what was supposed to happen. Original Plan:
Mom drops off clothes at Mama's house. Mama takes Janiel and Me to pick up my friends, then drops us off at the Bart.
Changed to:
Mom picks me up to take me home and change clothes at my house and then get dropped off at Mama's so that she takes Janiel and me to pick up my friends, then drops us off at Bart.
Changed to:
Mom picks me up to drop me off at home and change clothes and then she picks me up later to drop me off at Mama's so that Mama takes Janiel and me to pick up my friends, then drops us off at Bart.
Changed to:
Mom picks me up to drop me off at home and change clothes and then she doesn't have enough time to pick me up so she asks dad instead, in which he takes me to Mama's house so that Mama takes Janiel and me to pick up my friends, then drops us off at Bart.
Changed to:
Mom picks me up to drop me off at home and change clothes after taking a shower and then she doesn't have enough time to pick me up so she asks dad, in which he takes me to Mama's house, but not after Mom arrives first to ask him in person, so then Mama can take Janiel and me to pick up my friends, then drops us off at Bart.
Changed to:
Mom picks me up to drop me off at home and change clothes after taking a shower and then she doesn't have enough time to pick me up so she asks dad, in which he takes me to Mama's house, but not after Mom arrives first to ask him in person, so then Mama CAN't take Janiel and me to pick up my friends, then drop us off at bart, so then Dad picks us up to drop off Janiel at the Bart station then pick up my friends and drop us of at the Bart.
For more emphasis on my point, read each of those individually with one breath. Say it, then take a breath, say the next one, take a breath, etc..
After Dad dropped off Janiel, I called AJ. I told her to keep Janiel company at the Bart station. Our first stop was Ruchelle. We went to her appartment complex. I called her to come out. I met her halfway because my Dad parked on the curb, not wanting to drive in. I told her to run. She looked nice. She had two Jackets on and this pretty red Chinese purse thing. Her hair was frizzled as usual. I pulled the car door open for her, and as she came in, I could smell her perfume. It was a somewhat floral scent, and I just rolled my eyes. I was playing some techno while we were going to Krystal's house. I had no idea how to get to Krystal's house. That's kind of a lie. I knew she lived near Pine Hollow. I also knew which street turned into her neighborhood.
Before going on, I must explain. I had a crush on Krystal in the 8th grade. At first glance I thought she was nice. I didn't really know her too well. She was just in my English class with Miss Ellgard. She was quiet and she seemed like a shy girl. I remember that we had this thing called word of the week, in which we'd have to draw pictures. I loved her pictures because she could draw so well. Manga-stylish 3nodding . Krystal kind of wears dark style clothing. Her hair is just above shoulder length (It looks good on her, even though I prefer longer hair.) She has these glasses that look good on her as well. She's skinny and has pale skin. She's half Chinese and half American, (Oh well emo ) She's kind of short, maybe 5"25"3 at most?[edited because Krystal is sensitive about her height.] So one day I kind of follow her home. I'm pretty sure she doesn't remember this, but she told me to bug off when we were going into her neighborhood. xd So I just walked back to school.
So we turned into the street that I remember Krystal flicking me off at. She said that she lives on 5554 Via Benito or something. I didn't have my glasses on, so I was squinting at every street sign. I just kept telling Dad to go straight, even though we could have taken a turn. Thank god that her street was at the very end. We turned and I told Dad to drive very slow. He didn't, but I spoted Krystal's house because it was right on the turn. Her house stands out so much. It's the brownest most wooden house I've ever seen in my life. I got out of the car and walked up to the door. I rang the door bell ( it surprised me there was one, I thought I'd have to knock really hard.) After a few moments, a caucasian man answered the door. His skin was a bit reddish. "Hello sir, I'm here to pick up Krystal." I don't remember what he said, but he wasn't frowning at me, so I thought that was a good plus xd . He offered me to come in, I declined. I thought that he might try to beat me up where nobody could see me xd . Just kidding. But I waited outside for LOOOOONG TIME. I was wondering why Krystal took so long. She seems so punctual. Finally, after she came out. I greeted her, then opened the door for her. I also smelled Krystal wearing a scent. It was strange because I had never pictured her being that type of girl. It was a really sweet scent, kind of like cherry flavored candy. Now we were finally off to the Bart station. It would be 8 minutes to meet the planned Bart train. I asked Dad if he could make it in that amount of time. I was so impatient. I knew the answer was no. Even if he drove his fastest and didn't get caught by the cops. the traffic lights would always get us. He also pointed out that we'd have to spend time on getting our tickets. I asked him again 3 minutes later anyways. I played some Se7en on my iPod, and Krystal started talking about the Asian music. We held this conversation until we got to the Bart station. Ruchelle and I bought our tickets, Krystal already had her own. We went through the ticket readers and went upstairs. There we these two Asian girls that stared at me when I walked up. It was probably Jia Li. I didn't see AJ or Janiel standing, so I went towards the benches and saw them sitting there. AJ stood up to give me a hug. Then she petted Jia Li. I'd forgotten she'd seen Jia Li before. Ruchelle introduced AJ to Krystal then Vice versa... or was it vice versa first... Whatever. They started talking about AJ's bag. It was a replica of a box of Pockey. We started talking about when the Bart train would come. there were 7 minutes left. I don't remember the conversation.
I was thinking about Suicide Circle. The train station just reminds me of those 52 girls jumping in front of the train. EVERYTIME I GO TO THE BART STATION, THAT'S ALL I THINK OF! Ahh well.
The train came. We got on. There was a section that looked like it was conveniently made just for the 5 of us. Janiel sat in the row behind me, and Ruchelle and Krystal sat in the row in front of me, which faced towards the opposite direction of the train. AJ just sat next to me.
I'm not high!
I really like that purse.
*clap*
EXCUSE ME! MY EYES ARE UP HERE >=O
Notice the guy in the background O___o;
A ruchelle and half a krystal
The ride went by pretty fast. At first, I started listening to my iPod. Then AJ said she wanted to watch a movie, so I put on Three Extremes 2. I was a third of the way through it, so she didn't know what was going on. Krystal and Ruchelle started making fun of us, so I just stopped watching. Then we just started talking with each other. I said that we had to get off at Embarcadero. AJ then informed me that they don't announce what stops they are at gonk . I told her I remembered it being underground at least. Oh well. So Krystal started talking about something with Ruchelle, then AJ and I just started talking about something. Janiel was just sitting behind us looking out the window. I told Janiel that he was fat, right in front of his face. He just said 'Huh?' I knew his iPod was too loud xd . AJ told me how mean I was rolleyes . Oh well. Krystal then asked me a question. I don't really remember what it was, but then we started talking about Valentine's day. I told AJ and Ruchelle what I did on Valentine's day: Go up to every girl I ever had a crush on and told them I had a crush on them. The thing is, some of them don't know the 'had' doesn't apply. It's really still supposed to be has. So they asked me if I got all of them down. Krystal made fun of me saying that I didn't because I liked too many girls. I then re-informed Ruchelle and AJ that I had a crush on them. Krystal just went :shocked: with her mouth saying 'Oh my gosh!!' I told them that I had a crush on them both in 8th grade. [There's a couple of journal entries about that somewhere...] I guess around that time it wasn't really normal for a person to have that many multiple crushes? [ Tiffany has told me recently that I get attached too easily. She's completely correct.] Either that or I just classify any affinity for a girl as a crush xd I was thinking about that the whole time we were on the train, even though I was still participating in the conversation. I'm pretty sure you guys reading my journal are asking if I still like Ruchelle Krystal and/or AJ. Since this is a no limits journal I guess for Ruchelle and Krystal, I'll have to say yes. For AJ, I know she's with Bryan. So I know to back off. The thing I don't really understand is how their relationship is working. After talking about how I'm a whore, I asked AJ what she gave up for lent. She said that I really really don't want to know. I asked her if it was really inappropriate. She said it was. I kept pestering her to tell me. In my mind I was starting to think of all the nasty things that she could have given up. I told her this, and she said I could guess what it was, then she told me not to guess, because it was that inappropriate. AJ asked again how we were going to identify our stop. I said, "Just get off when you see a whole lot of Chinese people getting off." She started laughing, "JARVIN! THAT'S SO MESSED UP!" "Shh, See that Chinese man over there? We'll get off when he does. biggrin " I whispered. Eventually the Chinese man got off before we did. "OH NO! WE'RE SCREWED!" xd We started laughing again. Ruchelle and Krystal just thought we were being freaks. After a couple more stops, I knew we were in Embarcadero. I poked Janiel and told him to get up.
We got out safely. I was scared because of one time on my birthday, the door closed on me. So we got out and I was much more excited. I knew this station. It was the correct station. Relief just rushed up against me. xd We went up some escalators and got out of the station. Janiel had a little trouble because his ticket stopped working. Instead, he got a voucher. So, when we got out of the station, I felt a little disoriented. It felt like we were on an island, surrounded by roads. We didn't really know where to go. I saw the road 'Drum'-something. I remember seeing it on googlemaps. They kept pestering me if I knew where I was going. "Uhhh... sure?" xd Then they'd all feel horrible gonk Hahah, oh well. They kept following anyways. Eventually, we got to a park. It had a map on it. It pointed out Pine street, and I knew I had to follow it. We kept debating on where it was. How many people does it take to read a map? popped into my mind xd Eventually we figured out that it was the street we passed just a little while back.
We had a nice conversation about more random stuff. I think it's just fun to talk randomly like that, you know. After a while, you just forget about everything that really matters. Really good bonding time... YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT? I've always thought that I'd rather buy time with other friends rather than buying possessional items. I guess I'm just sentimental that way...
So, we kept going and going straight. Eventually we went into this store area. AJ pointed out how it's sad to have a business there because it's so small and barely anybody knows about it. Janiel and I said, "We need to find Victoria's secret." It was the only shop where we knew exactly where to go. It was funny because we said it was our first time ever going into Victoria's secret. "I've never even been in Victoria's secret, That's sad Jarvin." I was thinking, Yeah, sad for you razz I actually liked how Krystal was plain like that... Or was it just that she's just a goth-wannabee? xd
So we never found Victoria's secret. We ended up going in a random direction. AJ started clinging to me. If you didn't know better, you'd thing we were a couple. We kept following Janiel. We couldn't tell if he either knew where he was going, or if he just couldn't hear us because of his iPod being too loud. Probably the latter. xd Anyways, we got to this familiar area. AJ commented that she liked the frogs in the pond. I knew there was a pond, but I didn't know about the frogs. Then when I saw the pond again, it was only frog statues. xd She got me. Anyways, we passed by these two, I don't know what you call them, but they looked like stacked furnaces. There was this area next to them that was prettied with flowers. So we took pictures there for whatever reason. Since I know I've super fugly, I told them I'd take the pictures. So anyways, after taking the picture, I was confident we were on the right track.
Asian Freaks...
Muah~
Hello Jia Li~
AJ clung tighter to me. We all crossed the street and went up a hill. This hill led us into China town. We knew because of all the Chinese letters. We passed by this one dog agency thing. Then there was a pottery shop up ahead:
AJ: "Heart Flowers Shop..."
Krystal: "WOAH! You can read chinese?!"
AJ: ...
There were english translations below it. xd
Krystal: "OH! I didn't see that!"
Kind of reminded me of Kristine. xd
Jarvin: "Thank God it's not raining..."
Krystal: "Jarvin, what are you talking about? It's going to rain!!"
Jarvin: "Krystal! You just cursed us!!!"
It started to rain. AJ pulled out her umbrella, and I took it from her. I still kept my arm around her, and held the umbrella in the same hand. As if we already didn't look couplish enough. We got into the real China town. I directed us to the park area. It was a playground where little children ran around, and old men played Chinese Chess and other games. I called my Dad.
Jarvin: "Where are you?"
Marvin: "We're eating."
Jarvin: "Meet us in the park?"
Marvin: "We just started eating."
Jarvin: "Okay..."
Janielyn: "Jarvin? Have you guys eaten yet?"
Jarvin: "No Mom... We'll go shopping first, then find a place to eat."
Janielyn: "Okay."
It was raining a little bit harder than before, but not by that much. AJ saw these stands at the top of the park.
AJ: "Jarvin, I wanna playyyy"
She was talking in her babyish voice, so I had no choice but to go with it. We all followed her to the carnival stands. These booths were your average carnival booths. They had tried some new marketing ploy that I hadn't seen before. They let you try the game first until you win, and then ask you to play the game with money. I felt sorry for these guys because I bet they had really crummy lives and not so much money. We stopped at this one booth where you had to pop balloons with darts. The guy let Ruchelle, AJ, and I try at it. All 3 of us hit it, then he said if we played with money, he'd give us a prize no matter what. We rejected the offer. I didn't really want to waste any money on this.
Then we got to this booth where you through ping pong balls into a little jar and you win a fishie. AJ wanted to get a fishie, so she bought a basket of balls. 12 Balls for $3 I think it was. Ruchelle started talking about how she won before, and then the fishie died. xd Fishie killerrrr... AJ didn't make any of the balls in. A couple of them came pretty close though. I told her to throw some into the actual fish tank where the fish were being held. xd Another guy stopped us and tried to do the same thing the balloon dart dude did. Ruchelle's umbrella broke, and we asked if one of the prizes was an umbrella. Sadly, no. xd Oh well. At this point, Janiel asked me if he could wander off on his own. At first I hesitated, but I knew he could take care of himself.
So we get to the main entrance of China town. They set up a stage for performers. This time around, there were 3 little kids singing. A 14 year old boy, a 12 year old girl and a 7 year old girl. They were soooo cute! The guy couldn't really sing... But I liked him anyways :3 They have a website, but I didn't quite get the url. They said they're on MySpace, but I don't go there, so if you want, you guys can go look for yourself. We stayed for a couple of their songs. The two older ones had solos. They were a happy upbeat kind of group :3 . So after listening to them for a while, we left. It sucked that it was raining. Curse you Krystal Tiffer!
We walked by this one stand area where they had a picture thing going on. We took pictures. AJ was the guy in the pic, and I was the girl. xd Eh~ Krystal and Ruchelle took the same picture as well. Then we began our real journey through Chinatown. I don't know if you guys have ever been to China town, but it's super crowded. We had to hold on to each other super tight. All of us had our umbrellas out, and we went shopping in just random directions. I told them that eventually we had to find a place to eat. This one lady passed out a flier for her restaurant. We kept moving on.
Switched Roles
Side Shot
Okay?
Side Shot
On one street were these annoying shops with Crickets, and I didn't want to go there. So we ended up taking this other street. There weren't that many shops on this street. Just lots and lots of stands. They looked at this jewelery stand for a while.
Personally, I don't care too much about jewelery. They're just colorful stones... The only pretty stones I'd want would be on my house. :3 Rocks are pretty and all. I think the only essential rock you need to have is the one that goes on your wedding ring. Don't care too much for earrings either. AJ told me she wanted to get more piercings, and it kinda freaked me out. So many holes in your ears X-x;. She wanted to get a bar too. I thought, You already got a boyfriend, who else are you trying to impress?! Anyways, we kept going to various shops. We stopped at this one that looked kind of shallow on the outside, but it turned out to be a huge cave. I'd gone here earlier with Sammy's family. Since my parents didn't give me any spending money, I was completely broke and didn't buy anything. They didn't really buy anything at that shop. We just looked around. They're conservative buyers, I guess.
Me, I waste money easily xd I need to work on my saving skills. The thing is, I don't ask for money that much. My little brother 'steals' from our parents.
We went to look for Rainbow Station. We stopped at this one store, because AJ wanted to replace Ruchelle's umbrella. This Chinese guy started talking to us and wanted to sell us this one umbrella that looked like a starwars lightsaber. "For you, $6!" Said the salesmen. Then he said something in Chinese to the storekeepers. Then he said "Buy it, You'll look prettier!"
Ruchelle: " Are you saying she doesn't look pretty enough already?"
All: *start laughing.*
Krystal: "I hate it when people say that! 'For you, Blah blah amount of money!' It's so fake."
Jarvin: "Ohh Krystal! Buy this Umbrella, it matches your glasses! It'll bring out your inner glow! It's only $5 too! Come on wink "
I got a laugh from Krystal out of that one.
Well, Now I've reached the point where I'm really lazy, so I'll just skip to all the main parts.(NOT!)
We went to the Rainbow Station. Rainbow Station is kind of like Sanrio... Well, actually it is a branch of Sanrio &_&; So yeah. We went there and stayed for a while. AJ bought some folding stars. Krystal and Ruchelle were just marvelling at the girlishness. I wanted to buy more stars... but no money. AJ made me look for cute stars, but I didn't know what her definition of cute was. So, gonk Ahhh well. There was this Chinese helper there that always stands in the aisles. She's really cute :3 But I don't know how old she is, so nyeh. She always steps out of your way, and is small~ I like her hair and glasses too. Nice and long, and thick rimmed rectangular &3
So after shopping at the Hello Kitty place/Rainbow Station/ Sanrio, we wandered around for a place to eat. We stopped at this herbal store for Krystal to call her mother. She asked her mommy where a good place to eat was. It was somewhere on Jackson street, so we went over there. We wondered around for a while, and didn't up finding the store. We stopped by this bakery, and Krystal wanted to buy some stuff. I wasn't really into it, so I said we'd come back later. After wandering around a little more, we went to this one dim sum shop.
The food was somewhat cheap, a lot cheaper than fastfood. Since it was a Dim Sum shop, I couldn't eat too much, due to me going vegetarian for lent. Krystal thought that was lame of me rolleyes . Krystal ordered for us because we didn't really know what we wanted. There was this blocked pastey stuff, and I was curious to what it was, but it looked like it contained some type of squid or mollusk in it.
Altogether, Krystal ordered: 3 Dim Sum 'things' Some Rice Cake, Sesame Balls and Some Bao buns. This cost $7. Take that McDonald's :3
The girl's didn't eat so much. Ruchelle claimed she never ever gets full, and she always has to tell herself when to stop eating. AJ doesn't like seafood... along with a whole bunch of other stuff. And Krystal felt guilty because I kept calling her fat. Just kidding. At first, AJ and Ruchelle didn't know what the rice cake was, and I had to tell it to them in tagalog xd . They all fed me the white pieces of their Bao buns.
Krystal: *Rips off a piece and hands it to Jarvin.*
Jarvin: ... There's some meat on this!
Krystal: Ugh, what's your problem!
Ruchelle: *Hand Jarvin a piece.*
Jarvin: Why can't you rip it off cleanly like Ruchelle just did?! On her first try too! razz
Krystla: Jarvin just hates me. *Tears off a much cleaner piece.*
Jarvin: Thank you :3
AJ: *Hands Jarvin a piece as well.*
Jarvin: *Already eating Sesame ball and some Bao Bun Pieces.* X_X;;
It sucks too. Those Sesame balls were really chewey, and everything chewey hurts when you have somewhat new spacers.
Jarvin: You know, we could make Americans skinnier if they wore spacers. The pain from chewing would make them eat less!
Ruchelle: Actually, I got fatter when I got spacers. I couldn't chew anything hard, like you said, so I ended up eating tons of ice cream! *proud*
Jarvin xd
AJ: That kinda happened with me too.
Jarvin: Well you guys are lame for eating FATTY foods.
Ruchelle: Nyehhh~ Shutup!
Jarvin: Okeee~ *goes back to eating*
I seriously still think that it would be a good idea to do that. &_&; After eating the sweet buns and some rice cake, I wasn't that full. I saw this guy order a beef and leaf rice bowl. I wanted rice, so I ordered one for myself. It was a pretty big bowl, for only $2! Since it had beef, which was actually chicken, I picked it out with the chopsticks they gave me. Ruchelle ate some.
Krystal: Eww, what's with this chicken?
Ruchelle: *Chew*
Jarvin: What do you mean?
AJ: Look... it's all bubbly looking...
Jarvin: *examines*
Ruchelle: *swallows* Stoooop! I just ate some! xd
Jarvin: *picking out pieces of meat with chopsticks.* I've gotten better ;D
Krystal: Stop showing off Jarvin, Sheesh.
After eating, we just sat there and started chatting for a couple of minutes. After being lazy bums, we got up and went back to the actual Chinatown, but not before getting lost. When we got back on track, we were supposed to head for the marching grounds. Excuse me, PARADING grounds. We were off from Chinatown just by a bit, and now instead of holding the Umbrella for AJ, I was holding it for Krystal ;D . At one point she complained.
Krystal: Jaaaarvin! Stop holding the Umbrella for me.
Jarvin: Why?
Krystal: You're making me look unavailable!
Jarvin: Whaaaaat? You don't want to be my girlfriend? wink
Krystal: Ugh, I want one of these Hot Chinese guys!
Jarvin: Ouch, stab me in the eye much. Well, not like the Umbrella is doing much anything anyways.
I still held the umbrella for her. We walked a really long time. First we had to go into this shop, because AJ wanted to buy this calendar. We went into the shop, and I stole Krystal's directions to the Parading Grounds. I couldn't really understand them, and I asked the shop keeper which direction to go. He said over there, and pointed some direction. I nodded slowly. After AJ purchased her calendar, we went off to get lost in the right direction.
We actually did go in the right direction for the most part. Then we ended up at this random road that didn't cut the curb correctly. So we headed back. We knew we were going the right way because there were metal stands on the road. It was being closed off. We kept heading in that direction, and we ended up at the base of the park we went through earlier. I called my Dad and asked him which way to go. He told us to keep going in the same direction.
Onward to victory. Eventually we got to the bank that I stayed at last year and watched the parade at. I looked around for my mom, but I couldn't find her. Then she shouted at me. I looked at the bank again, and saw that there were four chairs arranged, with her sitting in one. She had a beanie on, and that's why I couldn't find her. Usually her hair is sticking out, and is curly =x. I walked up the steps first, but the girls just stayed at the bottom. I hand motioned for them to come up.
Mom: "Have a seat!"
Girls: "Okayy~"
rolleyes there were only four seats, so I had to sit on the ground. The Parade wasn't to start until 5:00. It was a half hour til. So we had to kill time by talking abour random stuff. AJ took some pictures of us, and did some videos of us as well. I had to go to the bathroom, and when I came back, Janiel and Dad were there too. They went to some Manga shop. Janiel bought a couple of Keychains rolleyes Waste of money much.
My mom got interviewed by this newspaper dude. He was thinking of quoting her on some stuff. He asked why we were there. How into Asian culture we were. My mom is a very artsy person, so she talked about that aspect of it. My mom is cool that way. Although, she wanted to be anonymous. I didn't think that was really cool. Then the guy interviewed me. I told him some stuff, I don't really remember. I didn't think I'd be put in the newspaper anyways. My answers I gave him were lame. Oh Well.
Jarvin talking to Janiel
Umm? xd
After waiting so many moments longer, the Parade actually started. First, the police came on. Then there were other things that came on. Then Government officials came on. Then ACTUAL chinese floats came. Yeah, I don't remember all of the floats. Besides, I'm sure you guys are already tired of me having spammed the most of the day at you. rolleyes OH WAIT! I REMEMBERED SOME IMPORTANT PARTS HAPPENED! So we were eating cupcakes, and Krystal got mad at me for not eating any. She looked at the label.
Krystal: "Oh my gosh! 360 Calories?!"
Jarvin: "heheh... Fatty xd "
Krystal: "Jarvin, shutup! You eat one."
Jarvin: "Ehhh, no Thanks~ I'm already fat enough :3"
Ruchelle: "Come on Jarvin, eat one!"
I didn't eat one. They looked pretty good though. I was about to eat one, but I didn't :3 Ohhhh well~ So at one point, I asked Ruchelle if I could lay down against her legs. The floor wasn't all that comfortable. I was also sitting behind the girls. I didn't want to look at there backs, or other things for that long gonk At one point, I had to tell AJ to tell Ruchelle to pull up her pants. I don't know why I did it indirectly... Maybe it was so that Ruchelle wouldn't think I was staring at her butt. WHICH I WASN'T! gonk It was just there! In my face! X___X; Ahhh well... So Ruchelle said yes. At first my back hurt for a while, then I readjusted myself. At one point during the parade, Ruchelle brought out her comb, mirror thing. It was a comb and a mirror at the same time. The thing I found funny about this device was... is that you need one part in order to make the other part function. You can't take the comb apart from the mirror... so How do you see your hairstyle while you're combing it?! Anyways, AJ pulled out her own comb, and she and Ruchelle started combing my hair. I felt like I was their little play thing for a bit. Then AJ really started messing around. I took the comb from Ruchelle and tried to recomb my hair to its original state. AJ just kept uncombing me combs. It was very annoying, and after a while, I just gave up. AJ combed it backwards, which hurt a lot because my hair goes forwards. I could hear the teeth just pinching through some knots in my hair. It's like she'd never combed a guy before ;O . Oh well... Then after a bit, they showed my hair to Krystal. She started laughing and I felt like a dummy xd . 'Jarvin, you're such a freeaaak.' I could just hear her saying it in her head. rolleyes whatever~
We went through a couple of bathroom breaks. My mom made me escort her. rolleyes I can understand why she'd want me to, but it was still very annoying.
Ruchelle was making 'Awww sounds'
Ruchelle: "Awww! The baby is so cute!"
AJ: "He is! Look at him!
AJ & Ruchelle: *wave*
Jarvin: Makes me wonder why some girls don't want children. =/
Krystal: *Glances and then turns back to parade*
Jarvin: "Look Ruchelle, the baby is crying! YOU MADE IT CRY!"
Ruchelle: "It wasn't my fault!" &&; "The mommy gave it to the daddy!"
Jarvin: =_=... It's always the guys' fault...
After watching the baby for a bit, AJ stood up and went to the front of the crowd, where my Dad was. He had on these flashing glasses with lights he got from Disney Land or World. I don't remember which one. AJ was followed by Ruchelle. I sat in her vacant chair, and eventually, Krystal followed after Ruchelle. I stayed behind for a bit, because I had to make sure that none of the stuff would be stolen. Most of the family was up at the parade street border, while I sat in the back. It wasn't that long before I followed them. Mom came back from the bathroom. I was surprised she went by herself. She told me to take some of the umbrellas and hold it for them. It wasn't raining significantly... But it was noticeable. I held the umbrellas out and watched the parading go by. My Dad got lots of handshakes because of his glasses.
Mom: "Did Gavin show up yet?!"
Krystal: "Why do you like him?"
Mom: "Cuz he's the mayor!" *Walks away*
Krystal: "Yeahhh... but he cheated on his wife."
Jarvin: "ORLY?!"
Krystal: "..."
After having amounts of stuff thrown at us, my Dad pulled out the beach umbrella. It was quite HUGE. Especially since it is a beach umbrella. I put the umbrella away, (Actually I told Janiel to do it for me.) Somehow the topic went to this.
Jarvin: *says something about getting laid.*
AJ: "And that's what I gave up for lent."
Jarvin: "WHAT?! SERIOUSLY?! Shame on you! I look down upon you." *does the pointer finger shame thingy.*
AJ: =(
Jarvin: "Oh my gosh...OH MY GOSH!" *hugs AJ super tight* "I'm sorry .___."
AJ: "It's okay Jarvin."
Jarvin: *Keeps hugging for a really long time.*
AJ: "Jarvin... you're really warm."
Jarvin: "Thaaaanks." *Thinking what AJ meant.*
Then I somehow get latched on to Ruchelle.
Ruchelle: "Jarvin... you are really warm"
Jarvin: biggrin
OH! I remember now. Ruchelle said she was cold, so I ended up latching onto her. It was fun... warming up Ruchelle? gonk
Jarvin = Affectionate + Boohoo + Toofasttomakearealjudgmentalperson + some other stuff.
Krystal said that she was cold to. This is when you ask, 'Can Jarvin take a hint?' ~ The answer is 'Noooo~' Actually. Maybe it is yes. After clinging so long to Ruchelle, I moved onto Krystal. I thought this was kind of awkward, because she doesn't like the clingy attitude. I think she also kind of flung me off on Valentine's day when she didn't say anything to me confessing to having had a crush on her. Keep in mind that the italicies aren't the keywords. xd OR ARE THEY?! Now I'm just screwing with your guys' minds. biggrin Heh. Anyways. I loved every moment I was with her. If that sounds romantic, GOOD ON YA! If that just freaks you out, (Probably Krystal,) Pretend I'm joking about it! biggrin Krystal seemed as if she didn't really notice me so much. She was yelling and screaming a lot at the parades. She got Ruchelle to yell some random stuff with her. Everytime some Asian people came out, I'd yell, "I LOVE YOU!" or, "A-Z-N!" xd A couple of times, I threw out a peace sign, just because I wanted the float riders to do it as well. A couple of times, I'd get it back. This little kid on the float did it. It was awesome. After a while of still watching floats... Ehhh never mind, I might Embarass Krystal even more than she already must feel from reading this. xd So, if you haven't gotten the idea yet, Krystal > Ruchelle. Only for now :3 . Maybe for a long time. Whatever x3.
Krystal went to get her camera from her pocket, so I had to let go of her.
She took more pictures. After watching more lion dancers and dragon lines go by, there was a huge break. Since we couldn't tell if it was a break or not, we thought that the parade was over. We packed up our stuff, and got ready to go.
(FU(KING $HIT! THE LAST COUPLE OF PARAGRAPHS GOT DELETED! I'll just shorten it as much as possible.)
We got lost trying to get back to the bart. Yadda yadda yadda. We ended up eating at quiznos. While we were eating, these girls in a limo showed up. They were wearing short black dresses. According to Ruchelle they were REALLY short. At one moment in time, they were coming in a line. I had gone near the door to put my trash away. They were walking in a line, so I followed after them, walking as if I was on a fashion show. Ruchelle, AJ, and Krystal started cracking up. When the girls in dresses were leaving, one of them pointed me out, and I waved bye to them. They just glared at me.
Ruchelle: "Jarvin, that wasn't the only reason we were laughing."
Jarvin: "What else happened?"
Ruchelle: "Well, there were more girls behind you. They tried to push on the door. It wouldn't open. So she stopped for a few moments, then pushed again! What an idiot."
Jarvin: "Wow, really? So they were walking behind me?"
Ruchelle: "Yep. Their dresses were really short! You missed it! Krystal and I saw things we shouldn't have!"
Jarvin: "Oh... Well I'm not that kinda guy anyways..." <--- WHAT A LIE! xd
After eating, we went back to the bart train and went home. We did some more buddy buddy stuff. Then dropped off Krystal at her house.
Jarvin: *Rings doorbell*
Krystal's mom: *Answers* "Hello. Thank you for bringing Krystal home."
Jarvin: What? No thank you for bringing her? "Thank you for letting me kidnap your daughter, ma'am."
Krystal's Mom: "Oh, uh. Thank you. Good night."
Jarvin: *Leans to the side and sees Krystal's Dad.* OH CRAP! "Yes, uh. Have a good night." *walks off hurriedly. gonk
Then we drove off. Ruchelle and AJ were dropped off after that, at Ruchelle's apartment. They hugged me goodbye. The ride home, I was thinking of how much fun we had, and playing all the events inside my head, just to tell you guys.
Thanks for reading.
OH! Also, here are some videos that AJ took. They're pretty crappy. xd
