ÀÏ¿äÀÏ ¹ã: it's been kind'f a stressful wknd 4 me.   it's like i've had some fun, but it's hard to say that the stressful times haven't outweighed the fun times.   like, i've sort'f had fun, but 'twas all stressful fun.   hey, r ne'f u like me in that fun can often be stressful?   4 example, if i'm out doing sumpthin' s'pposedly fun, but it ¢o$ts 'lot'f $$$; sometimes, i stress over the $$$ i'v $pent while i'm s'pposedly having fun.   i guess that's how i felt in vegas on our 1st trip n' how i've felt on many trips, n' that has really eaten 'way @ whatever fun i was having. *sigh* is this like a psychological prob?   do i need therapy or counseling 'bout this?   *shrug* well, i dunno; personally, i think that instead'f therapy n' counseling, i prefer to find help in well... hopefully prayer, but otherwise friends... talking to friends... however, that's 2 often a shortcoming i've had, that i place 2 much faith in human beings, while nuthin' n' no 1 is 100% reliable 'cept 4 god, u know?   it's that whole machines of loving grace thing yet 'gain.   like, this wknd, there were 'lot'f celebrations 4 our friends, n' i wanted to celebrate 4 my friends; but it was like, honestly, it was a li'l bit'f an effort to do all this celebrating.   well, uhm... i guess it's mostly cos'f this: u c, on fri evening, the beautiful kaela hwang couldn't find her wedding band, n' she thinks some1 might've stolen it out'f her gym bag @ the gym.   i dunno; it's all really stressful.   however, we had celebrations to attend: 1st'f our friend darien had his b.day on fri nite.   on sat morn/afternoon, kaela's skool friend rachel had a b.day.   on sat nite, our friend jane had a 2nd bachelorette party.   i'm not very fond'f the idea'f bachelorette parties since i don't really do bachelor parties in the traditional sense, n' it's that whole 2 wrongs don't make a rt thing yet 'gain.

[a li'l later] 943p: neway, darien's b.day was @ loft bar n' bistro in downtown san jo.   cos kaela n' i were looking 4 kaela's wedding band @ home, in her car, n' @ 24 hour fitness; we were really late, showing up ~1.5 hrs late.   however, the group had just finished ordering when we got there, n' it turned out that 1 guy came later than us (but didn't eat).   we didn't get to meet all'f jane n' darien's friends, but they cmed like good, nice ppl.   we met a few'f'em.   the dinner was very delicious.   4 darien's large b.day party, his fianc¢e jane organised the party w/ a special party menu, where we had a choice'f soup or salad, then steak or salmon (or chicken, which no 1 picked), n' then a dessert.   both kaela n' i started w/ the chop salad... or i c they call it the "loft wedge salad."   then, i had the griled marinated flank steadk, n' kaela had the grilled salmon w/ pesto sauce.   4 dessert, i picked the sabayon berries, n' kaela picked the cheesecake.   i had a hefeweizen bier w/ my dinner, n' kaela had iced tea.   neway, heh... those r the details'f our fud.   we gave darien this golf club themed bbq grilling set, on which the grilling tools' handles look like golf club handles.   yah, we picked it up @ copeland sports.   we'd cn it there b4 n' thought it'd be perfekt 4 him.
