Late night cravings
Ok, I've been on an eating for the last 3 hours. I've eaten tons of tacos, chips , and cookies constantly for the past 3 hours. At work today I went through at least 10 Reese's Peanut butter cups, 15 York Peppermint Patties, and 20 Hershey's Chocalate bar. I always eat and eat and eat. I've tried to gain weight, but I give up.

At Vic's house JP finally got a chance to meet Randy after hearing about him for so long. Vic's friend Dru also stopped by. He learned that I was gay, go figure, hehehe. At Vic's I got ready for Crobar. JP picked out the clothes that I wore to Crobar. So then Randy and I head back to his apartment. Then I headed to Jorge's. Jorge of course isnt's ready, so then I went to Crobar to meet up with everybody at the door so they all could get in with me. Jorge, Tim, Jem, Joe, and to my surprise Rijay show up. We all head inside. Soon Randy, Nick, Joel, Norbert, and Josh show up. DJ Abel had a fantastic set. I had a privelege to meet Bruce and he invited us all to his apartment afterwards. So we all headed there afterwards. I met a lot of new people there. Bruce had a great afterset at his place. It was a fun time.

Making Videos
I enjoy making Video Yearbooks. A lot of people don't know this but I've been video-editing for about 10 years now. I remember making my very first montage. This was in sophomore year in high school. I had to do some sort of art project for my Scripture Survey class with Ms. Lamont. The project had to deal with a story in the Old Testament. I decided to do an abstract video of the creation story in Genesis. I basically made a music video. So what I did was put together a lot of videos and pictures from different sources like movies, news, tv, art books, video games, cartoons, to name a few. I then recorded a video of me singing "A Whole New World" with my friend Tracy Malvar. I was also playing the piano and had my best friend Eugene accompany us with the flute. It was a great video. Ever since then, I've been video-editing for many different occasions and groups.

Here is a partial list of videos I have created:

1994 - A Whole New World Music Video
1995 - Forrest Gump Music Video
1996 - Dumbach Scholar Video
1998 - PSA Formal Video
1998 - Space Bunnies Video
1998 - Blister In the Sun Video
1999 - PSA Formal Video
2000 - PSA Formal Video
2003 - Cuevas-Battung Wedding Video
2003 - Remot-Peszek Wedding Video

DAILY RECAP:
Saturday:
Went over to Joel's for a little bit. I hung out with Joel, Norbert, Mike, Josh, and Joe for a little while. They had made some fine-tasting Sangria. It was a great recipe with strawberry and apple chunks. They had gotten it from Jorge. Kudos Jorge on a great recipe!!!! So then I headed to Zentra. I met with everybody there like Randy, Manny, Yamilla, Joe, Jesse, Tony, Annette, Jem, Juanito, to name a few. Had my fun there. Then I went over to Jorge's and hung out with Margaret and Jorge for a while. Margaret and I were jamming to old freestyle songs for a while. "You're my Diamond Girl!" Jorge and I then went to a White party in Boystown. (FUNNY NOTE: Jorge thought that the White party was a White-people party) The White party came with lots of fun. Actually the place was nice full of White curtains, white walls, and a lot of people dressed in all white. We met a lot of people there. It was a fun time! The house party happened to be by Deo's apartment, so Jorge and I stopped by there. We chilled with Deo, Emer, Jamie, Laura, and Gel.

Sunday:
Went over to Yamilla's. Hung out with everybody there. We all chilled and stuff. Then Randy, Yamilla, and I headed over to Randy's. We picked up John then went shopping at Oakbrook Mall. We decided to eat at Baisi Thai and Oliver joined us for lunch. After lunch we went back to Randy's. Yamilla then passed on on Randy's bed. Randy and I then went shopping at Stratford Mall. We then went back to Randy's so Randy could get ready for Crobar. Then we headed to Vic's where I am writing this installment of my journal.

When I was young, It seemed that life was so wonderful
It's always good to be happy, feel happy. I just woke up a little bit ago. I feel so vibrant and joyful.

When I was young,
It seemed that life was
so wonderful, a miracle,
oh it was beautiful, magical.
All the birds in the trees,
They be singing
so happily, so joyfully,
oh playfully watching me.

I'm so vibrant and slap-happy today. I enjoy having a positive outlook on life

Getting hooked on watching TV
Today is one of my abnormal days where I'm just glued to the TV. I've been watching TV nonstop all day. Nowadays I think, just watching TV, like the sitcoms and the cartoons are a waste of precious time when I could be cleaning or working on the computer or something. But I guess you do sometimes need time to relax and let your mind wander. When I watch TV nowadays I try to stick to the News or either the History channel or the Discovery Channel. This way I'm watching TV but actually I'm watching something educational or something of value to myself. But today it was just all out CARTOON CARTOON. Like watching Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, and so forth. It was a fun night overall. It got my from going out to "the apartment" which is actually good, cause I HATE THAT club.

MANNY, YOU HAVE BEEN VERNED!!!
Manny has been one of my best friends for a few years now. Every day he surprises me with new things and always keeps me on my toes. He humors me all the time and I thank him for all he's done for me. Manny you're one of the greatest friends I've ever had. Manny, you deserve my second day of being Verned!!! Thanks for always helping me out and giving me advice when I need it.

A Fashion Show or was it?
Ok so Hunter's Held a fashion show tonight. It was ok. I don't think we were watching all the new clothes, we were watching all the hotties strut their stuff. Basically half the guys couldn't even model in the first place, although all the girls rocked of course. It was all in good fun, the fashion show was for charity anyways.

Frustration and how to deal with it
Well I've been frustrated wanting to talk to someone but never ever having the time to talk to that person. It's even more frustrating when that person keeps putting it off. But just trying to deal with the situation is hard but i guess it will have to wait AGAIN. Soon this will be resolved. the sooner the better.

DAILY RECAP:

Saturday:
Went to Dominic's party at his apartment with Leo. The party was alright at first but then sucked cause his roommate kicked us all out (Roommate was drunk as hell). So then Kevin and I decided to head up to Zentra. There I met up with everybody like Randy, Manny, Stephano, Jon, Yamilla, and so forth. We had a fun time as always and stopped by Yamilla's afterwards for a little bit before going home.

Sunday:
Went to Riva Restaurant at Navy Pier for my brother's engagement party. My brother Vince and Charlene are getting married July 10, 2004. More info can be found at http://wedding.weddingchannel.com/vincentandcharlene I'm going to be one of the groomsmen so it should be fun. Then I FINALLY GOT MY CONTACTS. after weeks and weeks of wearing my damn eyeglasses I finally got my contacts! So then I pretty much chilled at home, and then I picked up Jorge and we went to our sunday night hangout Crobar as always. We met up with Joel and Norbert there as well as I got a chance to hang out with Oliver, Nick, and Stan. It was a great time as always. We decided to cut the night early and then i pretty much just headed home afterwards.
