its been 5 years since ive been working...@ pepsico. 7/29/2002.
wow...i finally have 3 weeks of vacation! yey!

did you know?
when i get really really stressed, i get muscle pain in my neck. its to the point where i cant hold my head up because it hurts so much. funny thing: this morning, i was talking to chris who just got back from his nyc trip. he was babbling about his chicks and then -- BAM! -- my neck started cramping. damn chris. he ended off the conversation saying that he'd call his first born god, god mata. then that signaled the end of the phone call because i couldnt hold up my head anymore. sigh. idiot.

happy birthday, gus!
...are you really sleeping?

...i think you are fake sleeping!

...oopsie. i think he was sleeping.

after 4 years of blogging, ive changed my template.
good-bye orange, hello light brown/tan and arrows?

hello, good buy

my friend, jan ray (j.r.):

riddle me this: how can you possibly know if something tastes bad (or good) if you've never tasted it? this isn't just limited to food but also extends to other aspects of life. im surprised -- more and more every day -- on how people in my age group think. one day, you'll realize that what you assumed to be so sour, is just the sweetest thing in the world. the saddest part of this reality is that it'll be too late.

...open your mind
...stop being so naive
