"malibu grand prix" music: Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved
mood: happy, but bittersweet

i know, i'm listening to Maroon 5. but that song just makes me nostalgic. i guess it still reminds me of that unspoken-of moment. so sue me. or better yet, shoot me. ;P

i spent the day out with my sister on tuesday. shopping mostly, looking for jeans for her and possible bday presents for my friends. unfortunately, didnt find much, except i did find my pair polka dot keds! XD black skimmers with pink polka dots! i dont like pink, but these are absolutely adorable! and for only $12.99 from Ross! went out with Kenji later that evening to Borders where we nostalgically browsed the children's section after reading miscellaneous comic strip collections. omg, i made him read The Giving Tree cuz that poor deprived child never read shel silverstein. (well, i dont think Kenji read much in general, hahahaha.) point is, any kid my age who didnt read shel silverstein's The Giving Tree or The Missing Piece is just unacceptable!

today (wednesday) was so friggin awesome. brian, wolf, dereck (i'd like to emphasize to evan that i spelled it right this time ;P), evan, and i drove (a.k.a. brian drove) down to Malibu Grand Prix for the $20 all day go-karts and $10 all day arcade/mini-golf/bumper boats. XD we definitely squeezed out every penny like good little asians (dereck is honorary, haha). went back to the go-karts twice, except since only brian and i had our licenses, we were able to upgrade from the turbo go-karts to the virage race cars and leave the other guys behind, hehe. (finally, something i CAN do with my license, since i lack insurance and car.) wolf finally charmed his way through to join us on that track in the end, lol. (whatever wolf, you CHARMED her into giving you that stamp ;P) okey, so grand prix was fucking awesome because despite my terrible driving (i'm just REALLY slow at the turns), it was just....refreshing, hehe. i LOVED driving the virages, haha. made me feel powerful and speedy, even though they probably went no more than 30mph. my best time was 65.?? sec. pretty sad, lol, but hey, i'm not a racer, know pretty much nothing about cars, so i'm proud of my time, haha. and might i add that the bumper boats were totally awesome! perfect for the hot hot weather. except my jeans took FOREVER to dry, so evan and i stayed behind the second time and ate frozen strawberry lemonade. XD (what better way to cool off from the summer heat?) mini-golf was all right except wolf beat me by ONE point. OMG, i cant believe he actually beat me in the end. yes, i definitely got sloppy in the end, lol. but i did better than last time! the arcade was fun, though they really arent my thing. or maybe i'm just out of shape....no no, i just suck, haha. and i totally broke my vow against the NRA when i started playing shooter games again. (CS does NOT count.) omg, i TOTALLY cant drive cars in the arcade. they just make NO sense to me. (i swear my bad scores dont reflect my actual driving! sf DMV proves it!) finally came back to the city around 9 only to end up wandering the piers and the wharf until midnight. the ocean was beautiful. ::sigh:: oh man, my day definitely rocked. thank guys for another sock-rockin day.
