I had the most awesome time today. Aubrey(my lil sis) came home from college for the weekend. Alicia, Amira, Aubrey, D.A., Marisol, and I decided to go out. Although we didnt do much, we enjoyed each other's company. We had SO much fun :) We were cracking up and making jokes...u know the usual. We chose Rahzoo's Restaurant to eat at, but the wait was like 30-45 minutes. Ali didnt wanna sit there waiting so we went to Petland to kill some time. Bad Idea. Im not too fond of animals. Alicia was all like "Awww" while Amira and I were like "uhh..." We wanted to get out of there. The smell...the look of those ugly rats, cats, gerbils, and all those other animals. Ick. I couldnt take it. Alicia loved every minute of it. She was in there holding the puppies, gerbils, and any ugly rodent u can think of. Amira and I were like "we're about to eat, why in the world is she touching all those animals?" While Aubrey, Ali, and D.A. were messing with the "creatures"...Amira and I decided to seperate ourselves from the group. We looked at the aquariums instead...aww the lil fishes..we felt safer there. We grew tired of the fishes so we looked around the store. Alicia spotted us and whispered something to D.A. Amira and I looked at each other and were like "Uh Oh". Ali started coming towards us with some funky rodent. Oh hell no. I was not about to let her come near me. I started running for the door and stayed my ass outside. haha She couldnt bring the animal outside so she was stuck. I started laffing. Amira then followed me outside. We didnt wanna be in there any longer. Marisol follows us next. She wasnt paying too much attention cuz she was on her cellphone yakking away. 45 minutes later, we headed for Rahzoo's to eat. I have never eaten so much in my whole entire life. My stomach is about to burst. The same goes for the rest of the gang. We all looked at each other and was like "Man, we ate too much" -lol- I think we overdid it this time especially with the dessert. Finally, we left the restaurant. Aubrey and Ali rode in her car, while Amira, D.A., Marisol, and I rode in the other car. We were suppose to follow Ali's car, so we did. Why did this fool ride up next to the "Asian clique"? She slowed down and Im like "Oh no, she didnt". Everybody in the car started laughing. So, she then calls me from her cellphone and starts talking to Marisol and when she started laffing I knew she was talking about my ass. Marisol gives me the phone saying Alicia wants to talk. I got on the phone and Ali was like "Did u say hi to your people?" haha I was like "You did not go there" and burst out laffing. Marisol goes "You're Mexican like us anyway" -lol- N-e-Wayz, you shoulda seen all them asians looking in at us. Im like "Uhm Amira, let's get outta here". Before all of you people start trippin about me talking about those asians, lemme clear things up by saying Im asian myself. Although, I dont consider myself as one. Im Filipino and I'd prefer calling myself a Pacific Islander. Actually, I'd rather not call myself anything. Im Sharon and thats that. I hate being categorized under that group. bleh. Anyway, we finally leave the place. We had a hard time catching up with Ali's wanna be racing ass. We started jammin some Linkin Park and at one point, passed her up... but she didnt like that so she kept speeding til she left us in the dust. Oh well. Maybe, next time? Well, Im off to bed kiddos. I hafta get up at 8 am for my 9 o'clock salon appointment. I hope I dont oversleep. Nitey Nite.

Just got out the shower and man do I feel refreshed and energized. Im supposed to get ready, but my eyes are glued to the tv screen. At the moment, Im watching the live coverage of the memorial service in Washington, D.C.

I've never been so proud to be an American as I am today. To see lines at the blood banks, to see people going out of their ways to help the victims, to see churches filled with people praying, to see people giving hundreds of dollars out of their own pocket unselfishly...it all brings tears to my eyes. True enough, there are some fucked up people in the world, but maybe, just maybe there are more good ones than bad. No other nation has the amazing structure of our nation, no other country can boast of such loving people, ones willing to give the shirt of their back if it meant helping someone in need, no other nation has the strength, the resilliance that ours does. I know I've said this a million times, but my heat breaks each time I see another person pleading for their loved ones to be returned safely...alive if anything. You tend to focus on the enormity of casualities and forget that they're individuals, someone's mother, father, daughter, son, husband, wife, cousin, friend, etc....to see these profiles on each individual person brings this tragedy home. It made me realize that you should treasure each and every person in your life because they could be gone at any moment. I've never been more aware of my own mortality. While I was at the store, someone (a muslim) made a comment about how it's about time America gets to feel the pain they went through and that what those hijackers did was "right". WTF was she on? Whether they had a reason or not, what they did was plain wrong. There is no way to justify the killing of innocent people and causing unnecessary havoc. Therefore, they are fucked up as I say. You make take it in your own way but this is what I think of it. These fundamental religious assholes have gone too far and their heinous acts should not and will not be condoned. Usually I preach forgiveness, but something as terrible as this cannot be forgiven.

Im talking to Anthony right now, a friend of mine whom I havent seen in months. We're just talking and catching up. It's nice hearing from him again. Im still watching the news. I cant sleep. Im glued to the tv, cant seem to tear my eyes away from the screen. Seeing people talk about their missing loved ones saddens me. Im getting misty eyed again. My heart goes out to them. "4,763 Missing in Trade Center Attack" :( I need to go to sleep.

One...two...three...breathe in, breathe out. hmm...just trying to calm my nerves. I got in an argument with Robert.. I got upset cuz I wont be spending time with him on his birthday....blah blah blah. I dont know whats going on with us. I dont even know where the relationship is heading. All I know is that we've both been too busy to spend "quality time" with each other. It's like we see each other, say hi, chitchat for a lil bit, and thats it. What happened to the deep, meaninful stuff? What happened to the romance? Ok yeah, so what if Im a sentimental schmuck. I cant help it. What female wouldnt want the "fire" back in their relationship? *shrugs* I dunno...maybe Im just rambling way too much. I hate being emotional at times.

I thought today was gonna be one of those boring days. You know...go to work, come home, lounge around, and then sleep. Instead, I went out with my pals Alicia, Amira, and Marisol. Girls Night out again. Yay! This was totally a last minute type of thing. The original plan was for Amira and Marisol to pick me up from work. We were gonna chill at the house like we usually do, but Ali showed up at work and totally surprised me...the more the merrier -hehe- So anyway, we went to Fu's Gardens or Garden ...one of those names..I forgot. We chitchat for awhile talking about everything under the stars including shopping...my favorite :P Alicia got a lil too excited when Marisol mentioned "the coachman" haha *winks* It's an inside joke :) After that, we went to Amy's. Gotta luv that ice cream. I am so stuffed. Tomorrow Im off so Amira and I are going shopping early in the morning. WoO hOoO . Later on in the evening, we're gonna meet up with Ali and Marisol. On Saturday, Im supposed to get my hair done. We'll see. I hope I wont chicken out. You're probably wondering why. Well..I have this thing with my hair. I want to cut it, but Im scared of cutting it. I dunno...Im weird. I've also been saying I want highlights but never got around to it. I need a change. I want it, but yet Im doubtful. I hope *crosses fingers* I finally get to do it. Ali, Amira, and Marisol will be with me for emotional support. -haha- I think Marisol's gonna dye her hair or sumthin so Im not the only one getting a "makeover" Goodie! For the past couple of days, Ive been having such a GREAT time hanging out with those chicas. I love you guys *huggles* Im glad to have wonderful friends such as yourselves :)

This is self explanatory. Maybe I got a bit carried away with the banners...oh well.
I read this thing, pretty creepy.

Prophecies of Nostradamus
"In the year of the new century and nine months,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror...
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city..."
"In the city of york there will be a great collapse,
2 twin brothers torn apart by chaos
while the fortress falls the great leader will succumb
third big war will begin when the big city is burning"

True or False? You decide. Check this out for yourself ----> False Prophecy

I got my friend, Brian hooked on to this thing too! WoOo HoOo!! Not quite, but he's well on his way there :P Check out his blog :) You see the kind of influence I have on people? hehe Go me! *beams proudly* haha

Some people are jus so friggin heartless. Look at this crap -----> "Palestinians celebrate attacks; Arafat issues condemnation"

Im still in disbelief of everything that has happened to the World Trade Center Tower. Im watching the news and as they show the plane crashing into the building, Im in total shock. It seemed so unreal, like something out of the movies. What can we do when something this catastrophic happens? All we can really do is pray. Pray for the families, the dead, and the wounded. Im a little shaken, but I dont think it has fully hit me yet. I mean I wasnt there when it happened but you can see the terror on people's eyes as they flee from the falling building and seeing that gave me chills. I can only imagine what these people are going through. With this incident, alot of people are scared. Most schools have shut down asking parents to pick up their kids. Some freeways, stores, and the whole downtown have been closed aswell. Amira and Marisol (close friends of mine) were trying to get in touch with their relatives in NY. They couldnt get through for awhile which made them worried. Finally, they got in touch with them and thank God that they are alright. I hope, that whoever did this horrible attacks on the U.S. will get what's coming to them. They deserve it.




On a lighter note, we celebrated my sister's b-day yesterday. Vanessa turned 15. The lil booger is finally growing up. Aww. Anyway, Nessa didnt think we were gonna do anything for her bday. Little did she know that we (Amira, Marisol, and I) had something up our sleeves :P We planned her a surprise part..well sorta, but she was surprised! We got her a cake that said "Happy Birthday Crustinessa. AJ will not be urs" LOL but before that it was "wont AJ will not be urs" I swear the lady that wrote the message was on crack. We wrote on the paper what we wanted the cake to say. We scratched out wont..why did this idiot write that aswell? Amira, Marisol, and I were cracking up. We covered up the word with some Almond M&M's. We sorta did a good job at hiding it. At least we tried -hehe- While Nessa was eating, Amira and Marisol got some cake and tried to wipe it all over Nessa's face. It was so funny cuz Nessa kept kicking and pushing them away. They finally did tho, but only on one side of her face. Marisol, on the other hand got it all over her shirt -hehe- Moving on...Nessa got some gifts from Sephora and Old Navy. She loved all of her presents. She was so happy! She thanked us by giving hugs n kisses *yuck* Just Kidding...u know I loooooove you girl :)
