Mr. Nice Guy

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
People don't keep journals for themselves. They keep them for other people, like a secret they don't want to tell, but want everyone to know.

Sad
You're the sad smile,the one that regrets nearly
everything and is constantly wondering about
what could have been.You're not happy with your
situation and usually blame yourself because of
the bad things that have happened.Cheer up.

This weekend was all right. It could have been better, but I wasn't able to see Diana or do anything with her. It's all right though. I know that I can't expect to see her every weekend. (Though it just seems better when I do spend time with her.) At least I was able to spend the whole afternoon and evening with her on Thursday. It was the night of the sports banquet and she told her dad that it was at night, so she would spend the afternoon with her friends. She walked to my house with Rosalba and then we walked Rosalba back to school. I looked so cool with my bright lime green shirt on. We went back to my house and just spent time in my room. She was building her garage for a class, and I just sat there watching. We talked and then I went to go get watermelon and cherries. After building a couple of things, she was tired. We just spent the rest of the time chatting and holding eachother. She then wanted to play some games on my phone, and that lasted til 6:30PM...the banquet started at 6. So we were late, but we ended up not going to the banquet anyways. Diana and me just sat down on the benches and waited til the mini awards were presented in Rameriz's room. I got caked by Lupe, so I decided to get her back...while chasing her in the parking lot, I slipped and fell right on my bad knee, reopening the scab that was all ready there. But all the while, the cake in my hand was still waiting to be splatted on her face. So when she came back for sympathy...I got her good...not just good, but as Candy would have said..."GOOD GOOD!!!" Open gym came next and then she went home with her sister.

Friday, I got to talk to her a little on the phone. Visited Roy...(Thanks Jeni), went to open gym, and then ate at hot pot...Saturday was the day of the tournament. She said there was a chance that she would be there, so I got all dressed up in my new Gap Shirt. She didn't go, but it was all right. I got to see Anthony and Thai finally win a trophy for the tournament, Jessica kicking butt with Annie and Dan, and I got to go to McDonalds like 5 times...waht fun...after the tourney, we ate at Pat and Oscars...it was all right...the breadsticks were filling and they give you like a lot!! Saw JT and Nina...after eating we all went to bowl...it was pretty cool cuz we went to ABC Bowling and saw like everyone there...Thao, Jess, Leon, Choung, Phap, Dung, etc...Our group consisted of Candy, Cang, David, Joanne, Sui, Tan, Gilbert, Henry, Anthony, Ling, Feng(Jett), Long, and myself. It was cool. My team(Me, Long, Candy, Cang, Joanne, and David) beat Anthony's team by a lot...but we didn't reach 500 as a team by 4 pins...Ant bowled a 140 and Candy got 120? not sure...but yeah it was fun...

I really wanted Diana to go...I know that she would have had a lot of fun.

Today, just got back from a BBQ at Anthony's house. It was good meat...Thanks Tan. I did all teh cooking...which was fine with me. I asked Diana if she wanted to go..she declined...and had a take home physics final to do. Ling stopped by for a while and chilled. She was the only gurl there. Before that, I took my Giggleberri to work and she got Cold Stone Ice Cream(I hope I get to work there...I am going to call in in teh morning and hopefully will be able to persuade the manager to hire me.) Diana called me...and had a short talk with her...it seems that all my talks with her are short...its okay though, as long as i get to talk with her...I'm happy..but I am stupid because I accidentally forgot to take my wallet out of my pocket and I washed my pants...so now one of my pictures of her is all messed up and brown...the close up one of her too...*sniff sniff*...oh wellz...all and all it was a good weekend...Miss ya Roy...memories flooded back to me this weekend...Miss ya Diana...any time is a good time as long as it is with you...Oh and made a little ghetto thing of me and Diana...that's about it...

Monday June 2nd 2003
Today my friend Rosa aka Lobo or Lobster got paid today for her excellent tutoring of little kids at this one place in Walnut. She recieved 27 whole dollar! Like whoa!! I know what you thinking...SHE'S RICH!!! Well, she's my friend, so BACK OFF!! haha...well yeah, she called me up while I was cleaning my room, and decided to go take me out to Bobah...how can a guy say no? We;; we got some kick @$$ boba and then she chilled in my clothes infested trash everywhere room. Stayed til about 9:30-10PM and then went home...what a cool friend huh?!?! That is my LOBO!! Love ya man...Love ya!!!

Before that though, Diana surprised me by stopping by my house. She said that she couldn't come over and visit. Her dad was picking her up at 3, but then she convinced him to let her walk with Nellie. And...TA DA!!!....SURPRISE!! They were at my house. I was looking all ghetto, and I told her my room would be clean when she got there, but she said she wasn't coming, so I thought I had the whole day to clean it. Boo...anyways we spent like 5 minutes at my house and then I walked her to Nellie's house along with Nellie. She invited me to stay and I met her cool aunt. We just call her Auntie. Just spent an hour and a half watching Legally Blonde. It was really funny. Just as long as Diana doesn't Bend and Snap, I'll be all right. *wink* Anyways, after the movie was over, I picked up a toy gun thing, and pulled the trigger. I didn't know it was a water gun, and I accidentally misted Nellie. This began a water fight to remember. Nellie got the gun and filled it up and started attacking Diana, her aunt, her cousin, and me. It was an unfair battle, so then Auntie locked Nellie outside and told us to get cups and fill them up with water. Nellie got in and attacked us some more with the water gun, so Diana and me went after her with the cups of water. Nellie ran. I ran. Diana ran, but then stopped. I caught up to Nellie and poured the water on her. Then as we walked our way back, Diana cleverly hidden stood up and splashed water on Nellie. We all ran in and Nellie was outside still. We got more water and Nellie got the hose. I went outside with a cup of water and splashed it on her. She got the hose on me and then I got it away from her. She ran to the door, but everyone inside was on my team! So she got hosed down, and thus ended the water fight. Diana had to go home so we said our goodbyes to Nellie and Auntie and Bubba, and then I walked her up to New Temple Park and then we split paths. Fun fun fun...then again everything and anything I do with Diana is fun fun fun...

Two things....Disneyland and Diana....

On May 31st 2003, a group of friends planned a trip to Disneyland. It was for Cang's Birthday. Here is the breakdown of people who went...Candy, Cang, David, Joanne, Truong, Joi, Teddy, Jason, Thai, Diana, and me. It started out early...woke up at 7:15am to get ready and everything. Thao and Jess ended up not going and so we did not get to go to Thao's for breakfast. We all met up at Truong's house and after picking up Diana, Candy, and Cang that is where I went. After about a while, everyone was finally there. So it was off to Disneyland, Candy's first time. I didn't think that it would be much fun, but hey, it's with the homies and Diana so I thought I'd make the best of it, besides it's free! So we drove to Anaheim in like 5 cars...but I guess it was cool because everyone had their own thing to do after Disneyland. Teddy drove like Teddy which got people pissed off and stuff cuz like he dont know where he going but then he drives all fast and cuts you off. But we get to Disneyland all right and park, I forget my camera in the car...BOOO!!!! So I have no pictures of that day, but then Candy is going to give me some...so that is pretty cool. We wait outside the parks for people to bring us in. Diana and me were suppose to be in the first group, but we end up being the last ones. It was all right though. We walked to Downtown Disney and roamed the Disney Store for a bit, and then got brought in.
We started at Disneyland. Took a group picture in front of a garden of flowers that bloomed into a Mickey Mouse. It's like Magic Mountain, they take a picture and then you can buy it at the end afterwards. Our first target was the Matterhorn. We waited in line while Thai, Joi, and someone else went to get fast passes for Star Tours(Jason's favorite ride). They came back, but then we lost Thai. Truong was having a lot of fun on the walkie talkies messing around with people who were on our channel. We rode the Matterhorn, which was pretty cool and then went to go get fast passes for Indiana Jones. Met up with Thai at Indiana Jones. We tried to get one for Splash Mountain as well, but it conflicted with Indiana Jones, so we couldn't. Rode Star Tours...made me sick...headache...blah...then rode Indiana Jones. That was a cool ride. I got scared by the fake giant Anaconda though. Not cool...I didn't realize that Disneyland was pretty cool. I haven't been there since I was a little kid, and I missed out on my 8th grade year because I was invovled in a situation that I'll just leave as "The Great 8th Grade Yearbook Scandal." We got fast passes for Splash Mountain and Pirates of the Carribean, then went to go eat because we were all starving. Diana got some fries and I got a salad. After we were done eating, we ate some ice. MmmMmmm...ice....anyways we went on Pirates of the Carribean, which was a slow ride, so I had a pretty long time holding on to Diana...it made her sleepy though...so to wake us all up, we rode the Big Thunder Railroad one..(I think that is what it is called..but I know I'm wrong...) And then decided to go to California Adventure. I have never been there, so this would be a new and cool experience for me. Well it was the afternoon and really hot, so our first priority was to ride the water ride. The thing like Roaring Rapids, Grizzly River Run. It was pretty fun and we got soaked, considering that we rode on it for 4 times! I got wet first, but then Candy got drenched. We split up in two groups because we had 11 people and the ride only fit 8 at one raft, so it was basically "coupels" in one and "singles" in another...After we got wet the first time, Diana and I took our first picture(well second if you count the group) couple picture waiting in line to ride it again. After everyone was wet and kinda nauseous, we decided it was time to dry off by going to the fast rides. Our first stop, Califonia Screamin, the fast roller coaster. It was really cool and the wait was not that long either. After the ride, Candy, Cang, Diana, and I went to go buy the picture, cuz we were on one shot. Memories...it was really cool, Diana and Me were in the front and Cang and Candy were in the back and we all looked pretty dumb, but we were holding hands. We bought 4 postcards and everyone else went to ride the ride again. After that, a couple of people were near to leaving, so then we decided to ride this one ride like Supreme Scream...i forget what it's called, and then Jason, Thai, Joi, truong, Teddy, David and Joanne leave. Thus only Candy, Cang, Diana, and I remain.

It's around 7 or 8 and we decide to go and experience the Haunted Mansion. It was pretty cool...really scary for little kids...It was kinda disturbing for me, but that is probably becaue I am a sissy...haha...yeah, more holding time with Diana. After the Haunted Mansion, we did not do much. Just walked around. Talking, holding hands. Following eachother. Tried to plan to go movies or something, but Cang had to stay at the Theme Park because he had to go home with his family...so we ended up walking the park for a while and ended up doing nothing. We went to the picture place and saw the picture of us at the beginning of the day. It was really nice. Everyone looked all right, so we bought it. Candy did, and after, we decided to go to Downtown Disney to try and find a Pooh or Eeyore sweater for Toney, but they didn't have any. They had one with all the Poohnani characters in it, but it didnt look that good, and it wasn't in our price range. We then went to find other Disney Stores, but that was the only one. We looked at Build-a-Bear for a bit and then decided taht there wasn't anymore Disney Stores in Downtown Disney. Sat around for a while and then we decided we were hungry. Ended up going to Naples: Ristorante e Pizzaria. It was an Italian restaurant and I saw my first semester Fullerton buddy Ashley. (when I saw her, I called her Julie...haha..she looks so much like Julie Vong...oops..my bad) Well, we ate there. Diana and I shared a pizza and Candy and Cang shared Fetticinni Alfredo. We were eating the bread and feeding eachother. Candy feeding us her salad. It was a delightful meal, and I kept the reciept. After eating, we went outside and guess what?!?! Fireworks! As if it couldn't have gotten any better...We stood outside and saw the fireworks go off. Especially with Diana there..it was just perfect. Too bad it was only for about 30 seconds....but it was a good 30 seconds. Diana and Candy were cold and shivering, so we went back into the Disney Store to warm up. We spent a lot of time in there, just looking and browsing the store. Candy ended up with a Tinkerbell key chain. It was about 9 somthing, and our goal was to stay at the park until closing, so we had about 3 hours to go. We went back into the park, and walked. It was night and the Castle was all lit up and everything. It looked nice, so we each took a picture in front of the castle. Couple of course. Then we just sat down on a bench. Candy and Cang on one, and Diana and me on another. We had a nice talk, and all the while just holding eachother. Candy fell alseep. But she woke up to use the restroom. So we went to the restroom and we all unloaded our bladders. Decided to walk around some more...and saw some people swing dancing. It was cool. After that Candy wanted to ride Small World....damn annoying ride. But it was her first time, so we rode it. It was sleep time for Diana and me. How we knocked out with those annoying voices singing that damn song...i dunno, but we did. We wanted to ride the Matterhorn again, end the park with the ride that we first rode on, but the line was too long and we decided not to. Candy had to hit the restroom again, Diana wnt with her. Cang and I drank some water, sat down on a bench to wait for them and had a cool talk. About him asking Candy the "question"...dun dun dun...they came back out and we all just sat down on the bench. Waiting for the damn time to change to 12. It was like 11:00. So close...yet so far...we sat there for a while, Diana fell alseep in my arms first...then Candy fell asleep in Cang's arms. All the while Cang and I just held on to our dates. It was about 11:45 when we decided to head to the main entrance, but it wasn't closing time yet. We walked really slow to the entrance. Candy saw a Churro vendor and decided that maybe Churro with lots of Cinnamon Sugar could perk us up a little. Atempt failed..and it was a waste of money on 2 Churros. We walked and saw Ronald and Hang...(oh did i forget to mention that Cang's bro and sis were there along with their dates...oh yeah, plus David's lil cousins, Henry and Eric, and neices, Winnie and Joanna)...Candy had to hit the restroom again, Diana went along as well, and Cang and I waited and talked about him asking the question again. They came out, and he was going to do it, so I led Diana with me to walk ahead of them, so he could have some alone time with her. They did, and then Candy said, "Where's Johnson?" and caught up to us only to see Cang's family waiting by the benches. Now he was there with his bro and his sis, and he didn't want to do it in front of them. When it was time to go home, (WE MADE IT PAST 12!!! Main Street was open for another hour..but we were all tired) Cang walked all slow with Candy, while Diana and I went one way ahead of them, and Cang's family went another way ahead of them...Then it happened. On June 1st, 2003 @ 12:05AM Cang asked Candy to be with him...She said.."I'll get back to you on that..." But eventually said yes...they split up, and we went to the car and then I drove Candy and Diana home. Thus ending a cool and fun night with Diana....
