Even though my Valentine can't spend the day with me (He lives in Tampa), my day has been quite eventful.  Me and Darren haven't been getting along this past week.  But last night, Monica gave me a gift and card from Darren.  I called Darren after reading the card, which ended up in a tearful reunion, while I met up with cousins.  My cousins looked at the gift before me and held it till 12 am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12:10 am, I opened the package and found.. a chocolate truffle.  I was pretty sure that wasn't my present!  But they convinced me to eat the truffle and see if there's anything inside.  Nothing.  So I decided to abandon the gift.  After I washed my hands, there was an Open Hearts necklace laying on the bed.  Since me and Mng. Marlet first saw the commercial, I've always wanted one of these!  Happy Valentines Day again.. and I love you, Darren Hart!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Thursday, I celebrated my birthday with my best friend, Monica, at Kenichi. Kenichi is, in Corey's words, "an upscale Japanese restaurant near the American Airlines center &amp;amp; the W Hotel. By the way, it's expensive as hell!" Though there was a tiny bit of drama, I had a GREAT time with everyone.  Monica got me the best present ever! She flew in Darren from Phoenix to celebrate with us. I spent some time with Darren after while the rest went to Ghost Bar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Friday, I went to lunch with Darren before he went back to Phoenix. I had dinner at Benihana with Genie, Chastity, Jonathan, Mng. EJ, Lala, Hazel, and Lowell. Once again, I had a great time watching the hibachi chef, eating sushi, and celebrating with cousins and close friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Saturday, my parents threw a party at the house. The same people from Friday night came over. In addition to the first surprise.. John, Steven, Risa, and Megumi surprised me! We had my dad's good barbeque and my lumpia for dinner, chilled, and played Wink Killer &amp;amp; Mafia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, which is my actual birthday, I started receiving greetings at 12:00 am that haven't stopped.  I went to church.. where I was pulled out in front of the congregation while they sang "Happy Birthday" to me. Then I had a little get together for lunch at my house. And now I'm just chillin'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not saying anything bad about my other birthdays, but this was the best birthday that I've had in a while. I enjoyed all the greetings, surprises, presents, everything! Big thanks to EVERYONE who made my birthday special, it means a lot to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and if you're wondering what I got..&lt;br /&gt;Mom &amp;amp; Dad - $400 (which I used for textbooks), snacks for school, pink PJs&lt;br /&gt;Corey - Birthday party at Kenichi's&lt;br /&gt;Monica - Darren&lt;br /&gt;Darren - Twilight box set, a pink bear holding a heart that says "Princess", bag of Andes mints&lt;br /&gt;Mike &amp;amp; Tiara - Express giftcard&lt;br /&gt;Slim - Batman Begins on Blu-Ray&lt;br /&gt;Michael &amp;amp; Destiny - The Hills Season 4&lt;br /&gt;Terrence - Forever 21 giftcard&lt;br /&gt;Lala - Cupcakes &amp;amp; a stuffed Minnie Mouse&lt;br /&gt;Child's - Express giftcard&lt;br /&gt;Mng.

I've gone through my highest highs and my lowest lows this year.  I've learned a lot this year, more than I have any other year.  I started the year with friends, drinking cheap wine and laying on the floor with a big headache.  I brought my old self into the new year.  I was having troubles at work, causing me to quit.  I was having money problems.  My car was acting like a POS.  I lost three of my best friends.  And all of this happened within the first month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For spring break, I visited Michael in Florida.. and didn't exactly enjoy myself.  In short, I was broken by the experience.  In addition, I took a week off work to go over there, so I couldn't take any vacation till September when I back to Florida.  While my cousins were traveling around, I was at home, bitter, while taking summer school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things started picking up after a while.  I was doing really well at my new job and my coworkers are great.  I was getting paid more than before.  School was going well and I befriended my current besties (Monica, Corey, Slim) through my boyfriend, Darren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Darren became a big part of my life.  Not only was he my boyfriend, but my best friend.  He was patient with me and respected me.  He treated me like a princess and set the standard as to how I should be treated.  Because of him, I learned to keep my head up, to humble myself, and to stay fair to myself and others.  Even though our break up was the hardest thing I had to endure all year, he was the one who kept me sane and smiling through it all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was denied admission from UTD for Fall 2008.  Though I felt like crap after I got the letter, I realized it was best for me to wait till I was done at Richland.  I've been in school all year round, including breaks, to get an associates in science by May 2009.  I've been passing all my classes with a pretty good GPA.  And recently, I was guaranteed admission to UTD for Fall 2009!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In September, I went back to Florida with my cousins for Mng. Mona's wedding in Disney World.  When people say that Disney World is the happiest place in the world, they were NOT joking!  Especially being there with the people I love the most, I had the time of my life.  I was truly happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've had many goodbyes throughout the year.  First, it was Chris who moved to Spokane.  Then Les &amp;amp; Nikki followed him to work in ministry.  Darren moved to Florida to be a superintendent in Tampa.  Mia moved to Chicago to be with her family.  Bobby got stationed in San Diego and brought along Mng. Jhuna &amp;amp; Maylee.  Alvin moved back to Las Vegas to be with his family.  And now, MR (Big Brother) got a job for the FDIC in Phoenix.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When December arrived, I realized how happy and blessed I am and have been throughout the year.  I had no idea what to ask my parents for Christmas because I had everything I wanted.  However, I was extremely excited to buy gifts!  I bought everyone what they wanted on my list.. and they loved it!  I participated in Angel Tree, Toys For Tots, and passing out goodies at an elementary school.  And I loved everything that I got!  I ended the year and welcomed the new year with my cousins and Michael.  It felt good to hug my parents and tell them "Happy New Years".  That day, Michael treated me to SMG and I had a great time with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm excited for 2009 because I've got so much planned.  I turn 20 in a couple of days.  Me &amp;amp; my best friend, Monica, are celebrating our birthdays with our friends at Kenichi.  I'm having dinner parties with other friends and family as well.  I'll get to see my grandpa and out of town relatives on Valentines Day for a reunion.  I'm currently planning a tropical getaway for spring break.  I'll be graduating from Richland in May and transferring to UTD.  I'll also be moving to Richardson.  I'm planning to go to Washington in the summer and Disneyland in September.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again, it's all God that I've gotten through this year being who I am today.  I thank God for ALWAYS pulling through for me.  This year has only been a blessing and I believe 2009 will be the same.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1613679776326019866-8917898342848342513?l=lilopower.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lilopower.blogspot.com/feeds/8917898342848342513/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1613679776326019866&amp;postID=8917898342848342513' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1613679776326019866/posts/default/8917898342848342513'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1613679776326019866/posts/default/8917898342848342513'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lilopower.blogspot.com/2009/01/cheers-to-year-2008.html' title='Cheers to the year, 2008!'/><author><name>Gera</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09885273047717121020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dCJFIKuKbzI/Sg-dfF_dTmI/AAAAAAAAABQ/5GOSXDelLlI/S220/n1535460087_30071445_3233074.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613679776326019866.post-5231108738415583137</id><published>2008-10-26T16:24:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-10-26T16:31:13.294-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Myleene Klass'/><title type='text'>Studying?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_eacB-M4BzwU/R7b19oTgkBI/AAAAAAAACpU/fPfhPqJRGEI/s400/myleene-klass-ice.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;It's hard for me to listen to my regular music (Keri Hilson, Lil Wayne, etc.) while I'm doing homework, and I don't think I'm the only one.  So while I was listening to Pandora.com to instrumental music, I found Myleene Klass.  She's Filipino, she's hot, and she plays piano!  Sweet!  It's pretty good.. and I'm actually writing my paper (except now because I need a break).  I'm getting further than I thought.  Download her classical CD, &lt;a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?cy6r33bsf5d"&gt;Moving On&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1613679776326019866-5231108738415583137?l=lilopower.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lilopower.blogspot.com/feeds/5231108738415583137/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1613679776326019866&amp;postID=5231108738415583137' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1613679776326019866/posts/default/5231108738415583137'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1613679776326019866/posts/default/5231108738415583137'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lilopower.blogspot.com/2008/10/studying.html' title='Studying?'/><author><name>Gera</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09885273047717121020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dCJFIKuKbzI/Sg-dfF_dTmI/AAAAAAAAABQ/5GOSXDelLlI/S220/n1535460087_30071445_3233074.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_eacB-M4BzwU/R7b19oTgkBI/AAAAAAAACpU/fPfhPqJRGEI/s72-c/myleene-klass-ice.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613679776326019866.post-3993326513850877823</id><published>2008-10-14T19:55:00.010-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-27T22:15:23.913-05:00</updated><title type='text'>They offer dates too?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 379px; HEIGHT: 223px" height="265" src="http://watersecretsblog.com/archives/DirectTV_Logo-778572.jpg" width="550" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The Filipino channel has been acting up lately at my house, so my parents called Direct TV to come fix it.  When I got home and I was about to close the garage, my dad opens the door and says "Don't close the garage".  I look up and he's standing next to this tall black guy.  As I made my way into the house, the black guy greets me and I said hi back.  I went into the kitchen and ate dinner by myself while my mom did the dishes, my brother was playing, and my dad was escorting the guy around the house to help fix the satellite.  As the guy was pacing around the house, we exchanged looks every now and then.  He was alright looking but there was something adorable about him.  When he was about to leave, he wrote down his number for my parents in case they needed him.  However, while they weren't looking, he looked at me and signaled the "call me" sign.  I smiled and didn't say yes or no.  Later, I looked at his number on the counter, found out his name, and walked away.  Too bad I'm not gonna call him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UPDATE (October 17)&lt;br /&gt;Now that the Filipino channels work, everything else doesn't!  It's always searching for a signal!  Now we really have to call this guy back.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1613679776326019866-3993326513850877823?l=lilopower.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lilopower.blogspot.com/feeds/3993326513850877823/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1613679776326019866&amp;postID=3993326513850877823' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1613679776326019866/posts/default/3993326513850877823'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1613679776326019866/posts/default/3993326513850877823'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lilopower.blogspot.com/2008/10/they-offer-dates-too.html' title='They offer dates too?'/><author><name>Gera</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09885273047717121020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dCJFIKuKbzI/Sg-dfF_dTmI/AAAAAAAAABQ/5GOSXDelLlI/S220/n1535460087_30071445_3233074.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613679776326019866.post-9155845700810601114</id><published>2008-10-03T10:58:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-10-03T11:03:45.329-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Disney World'/><title type='text'>I wanna go back..</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://a176.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/60/l_2e9d3763159eaa9e624aedf8e6a9ff0f.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://a176.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/60/l_2e9d3763159eaa9e624aedf8e6a9ff0f.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I just watched a video of my cousin and her husband dancing with Mickey &amp;amp; Minnie during their wedding and it just made me realized how much fun I had and how truly happy I was when I went to Disney World.  Not only was I in one of the happiest places on earth, but I was with the people that I love the most.  Not to mention, I was away from all the stress and drama I had waiting for me back home.  Just thinking about the memories that I shared with everyone over there makes me look at where I am right now and think "UGH!"  I will never forget.  I miss all of you.  Lets start planning another vacation.. together.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1613679776326019866-9155845700810601114?l=lilopower.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lilopower.blogspot.com/feeds/9155845700810601114/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1613679776326019866&amp;postID=9155845700810601114' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1613679776326019866/posts/default/9155845700810601114'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1613679776326019866/posts/default/9155845700810601114'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lilopower.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-wanna-go-back.html' title='I wanna go back..'/><author><name>Gera</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09885273047717121020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dCJFIKuKbzI/Sg-dfF_dTmI/AAAAAAAAABQ/5GOSXDelLlI/S220/n1535460087_30071445_3233074.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613679776326019866.post-318701251461952250</id><published>2008-09-28T23:10:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-27T22:17:18.684-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tattoo'/><title type='text'>Tat-Tat-Tatted up!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.freenaturepictures.com/assets/images/lores/hotpinkplumeria.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.freenaturepictures.com/assets/images/lores/hotpinkplumeria.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;After thinking about it since I was 18, planning for it since November 2007, it actually happened September 27, 2008.  I received a text message this past Tuesday from Kiara, asking me if I still wanted to get a tattoo.  This was unexpected so I really had to think about it.  She came home for the weekend for the fair.  At this time, we put the tattoo business in the back of our minds.  After paying $14 just to eat turkey legs, fried oreos and fried pop rock sundaes, we went back to my house and contemplated if we should go forth with our plan.  We put EVERYTHING into consideration: the pain, money cost, the word "permanent", family opinions, etc.  Kiara was ready, I was leaning towards yes. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When we got there, we sat in the car, nervous as hell.  We thought we would feel better if we had an experienced person with us, so I called Mng. Jhuna.  Unfortunately, she was out of town.  After talking to her for a while, I felt a little better.  When we walked inside, the people were friendly and courteous.  We browsed through tattoos till Kiara found the one she wanted, a 3 leaf clover.  I brought out my plumeria picture (above) and asked if they can do a custom design.  I posted this picture on my bulletin board with "Tattoo?!" written on the bottom, so the artists found it pretty funny.  After I described what I wanted, the artist said he could do it for $100.  I still had time to think since Kiara was going first.  We met Casey, Kiara's artist, who was awesome, highly recommended!  I held Kiara's hand and took pictures while she got inked.  She kept describing it as a tickle or scratch, which made me feel a little bit better.  When she was finished, we sat on the couch, contemplating and putting EVERYTHING into consideration.. again!  In addition, Casey said he would do it for $75.  And so I did it.. and it hurt like hell!  It was exactly what I expected!  It was the longest 10 minutes of my life!  However, my tattoo looks very cute.  I'm just waiting for it to heal and look pretty.

cameras tell them when to enter or retake shots.  However, according to my cousin who sees Lauren ever week at FIDM, Lauren never really worked for Teen Vogue.  She also mentioned that Lauren dropped out of FIDM for a while and Stephanie Pratt probably doesn't really go there since she's in an advanced class in the show and she just started.  Even though I question the show's drama, keep calling me stupid for watching the show because I actually enjoy it.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;By the way, doesn't Heidi look ridiculous?  I bet the girls were thinking "What an idiot!"  They look like they're having fun while Heidi is trying to look like a porn star.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1613679776326019866-8651620815251061337?l=lilopower.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lilopower.blogspot.com/feeds/8651620815251061337/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1613679776326019866&amp;postID=8651620815251061337' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1613679776326019866/posts/default/8651620815251061337'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1613679776326019866/posts/default/8651620815251061337'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lilopower.blogspot.com/2008/05/foolish.html' title='Foolish'/><author><name>Gera</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09885273047717121020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dCJFIKuKbzI/Sg-dfF_dTmI/AAAAAAAAABQ/5GOSXDelLlI/S220/n1535460087_30071445_3233074.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_44LBCUY-H6E/SBl4dEJQmoI/AAAAAAAAC40/8exe8gFuqEo/s72-c/1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613679776326019866.post-2977417457892204214</id><published>2008-05-05T01:01:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2008-05-05T01:10:45.137-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kanye West'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Glow In The Dark'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lupe Fiasco'/><title type='text'>Stronger</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-582.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-sctm/genericv2b/794/76/01AwcA9geZgSYAAAABAAAAAAAAAAA:.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

She's a big Disney fan, sporting a Mickey Mouse Coach purse, a Disney credit card, and Disney checks. So on September 10, 2007, her boyfriend, Jay, proposed to her in front of Cinderella's castle at Walt Disney World. She plans to get married in there a year from that exact date. What does that mean? I'm going to Disney World!&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="COLOR: rgb(85,26,139); TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Some people have been complaining about how far and how expensive it's going to be; it's annoying. If you can go, cool.. bring the kids. If you can't, shut up. I believe your wedding day should be everything you ever wanted since it usually only happens once. And she knows she can't accommodate everybody. But if she wants her wedding in Disney World on her proposal date, then dammit I firmly believe she should do that. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As for me, she's always been there for me and my family. Therefore, I choose to take time out of school and work to support her. Yes, I will pay for a plane ticket and hotel to see her walk down the aisle. And most certainly, I am going to have a blast while I'm there!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.alohaforeverhawaiiweddings.com/images/imgnov06/photo-diamond-head1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;At least this will get me ready to what I should expect when I get married. As you can see, I've pretty much have the whole thing set. All I need is the soulmate and a sapphire princess cut engagement ring. I'll walk down the aisle with a white halter &amp;amp; sarong and slat key guitar playing in the background. No shoes!

Above is a picture of possibly the most creative thing they did upon many others. They were asked to "define gravity" in their dance. As much as I love Status Quo for their neat tricks and good looking dance members, their actual dancing was not that great. I do not think Status Quo should have beat the Kaba Modern. I've seen videos of Kaba Modern's Mike Song and dude can move! It's hard to find someone who moves like him, in addition to finding a group of them. Anyways, congratulations to Jabbawokeez. They deserve it.

Along with that, I got a crimson Blackberry Curve 8310 for Valentines Day. These two pieces of advanced technology are different to me, but so far I'd rate them fairly high. The cool thing with my Macbook is it's mine, all mine! I don't have to share with anyone and I can keep it connected in my room. My security is set to where I'm the only one who has access to it. My blackberry makes me feel all "rich and important". I think it's because both of my past supervisors and Lauren Conrad have one, I got the subliminal message to get one. I know it's a stupid reason, but so far I actually like it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/client_images/kanyewest/3106_e43764092e777576857fd61c7cb0bd5f.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;The tour dates for the Glow In The Dark tour were released. On May 1, 2008 at the SuperPages.com Center in Dallas, Kanye West, Lupe Fiaso, N.E.R.D &amp;amp; Rihanna will be performing! We tried to get tickets at the exact time they would be selling them on Ticketmaster, but I guess the radio stations took all the good tickets. However, we are still going! I also got to see the "Flashing Lights" music video today. If you haven't watched it, be prepared to think "WTF?" It's pretty disturbing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;I've been kinda keeping up with the presidential race, and so far I think I'm voting for Obama. At first I was against the guy because so many stupid people out there were voting for him because he's black. I remember listening to a radio station where they had a "Who You Wanna Go Off On" segment. A guy called in going off on the people who are voting for Obama because he's black. After the caller hung up, the radio DJ called the caller racist. How is the guy being racist? He could've been black himself! But anyways, I can see Obama winning our presidential election in November. I just don't like the fact that people are voting for him for his skin color.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1613679776326019866-6931394669494310351?l=lilopower.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lilopower.blogspot.com/feeds/6931394669494310351/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1613679776326019866&amp;postID=6931394669494310351' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1613679776326019866/posts/default/6931394669494310351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1613679776326019866/posts/default/6931394669494310351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lilopower.blogspot.com/2008/02/flashing-lights.html' title='Flashing Lights'/><author><name>Gera</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09885273047717121020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dCJFIKuKbzI/Sg-dfF_dTmI/AAAAAAAAABQ/5GOSXDelLlI/S220/n1535460087_30071445_3233074.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
