Pictures from PepsiCo's "Rebuilding Together" volunteer event -- Saturday April 23, 2005.

I think the coolest thing from that Saturday was that I met the scientist who made the Melon flavored Propel. She said that the hardest thing about making new Propel flavors is that its hard to keep the color clear. I met so many scientists that day. It was pretty cool.

its friday and im still at work. my friends are over at wildfire having drinks and i should be there with them. god. im so screwed and not feeling too well right now. but ive gotta suck it up, finish my work, then meet up with them at fogo for dinner. i booked my flight to vegas -- woo-hoo!

why do i keep thinking about stupid things.
i wish you would just call me. sigh.

hopefully this weekend will be relaxing.

abby OUT!

for lunch, i went across the street to presidential market and grabbed a side of mac & cheese and yoplait vanilla custard. Mm! I also picked up a 2-liter of A&W Cream Soda. this is the best drink in the world. mountain dew code red is now my #2 drink. i feel so guilty because a&w is a non-pepsi product. i think i need to rip off the label before i put the 2-liter in the 6th flr fridge. i feel like such a traitor. but the cream soda that dr. pepper/7-up makes is sooooo good. its like candy in a cup! im drinking it right now....MMMmmm!!!

what else is on my mind...oh yeah. last night my bakla friend called me up to hang out. this is the same bakla friend that calls me a fob and i think i have pictures of the bak back in sept 2004 when i visited him in new york. it was good times. it was great catching up with him. hes had so much life experience since being in manhattan and im so proud of him. i just dont like it when he calls me a fob. heh. this is a secret between you and i, but i didn't like what i ordered. i wish i could've swamped cheesecakes with him cause his tasted oh-so much better. hah.

before i met up with my phriend, i had my 1st cello lesson. i learned how to hold the bow and how to sit with the cello. its so cool learning something new again. i felt like such a kid. my teacher is hella cool and pretty haht. my homework for this week is to play whole, half and quarter notes on each cello string as well as buy a music stand. doh!

i have my 1st cello lesson tonight. i feel like im in 4th grade again. im so excited and my hands are so sweaty. i should try to find my grip sack that i used when i bowled cause that would reduce the sweat. anywho, im so exciiiiiited...im so exciiiiiited. i can't wait. doh. i dont think i have a music stand.

doh!

life is keeping me on my toes
its soooooo weird how one door shut on my face but another door just opened up.
well, it really didn't 'shut' on my face. the person who opened it turned around and just walked away -- not even a good-bye. you can call it "abandonment", but i decided to stop trying also. anywho, back to what i was saying earlier...weird. very weird. too weird. a bit coincidental. touching the line of fate but then again, i dont think i believe in the f word.
