Ehhh wow it's been a while. I have serious boy in my life lately who has been consuming all of my time to the point where now I am engaged. Yup I'm engaged and it's pretty crazy awesome. His name is David Williams, therefore I will be a Raseny Williams silly eh? I will some what be a white girl?
So the date well it's going to be a 2 yr engagement, I don't like odd numbers, I wanna get married when I'm 24 because it's even number age wise. The other reason is well we both got to get our shit together with school, life, finances, and responsibilities.
As for David he's the geek of my dreams and for me likewise, not to mention he's cute. I don't have a ring yet be because I'm way too picky and want something small. So we have been engagement ring shopping and it's been interesting. I have so many stories to blog about when I can chance to really blog blog...
As for now I've been M.I.A. and I'm resurfacing back to my normal routine along with an amazing boy who loves me and wants to marry me?
It's over all way too silly and I rather whore my news on SG then on myspace because well I pay for this damn site damn it. So you kids heard it first, then I shall post on me LJ.

Woke up early today to go volunteer with kids, it was fun and I got a paper turkey hand out of it. Todd this eight year old is my new friend who gave me his paper turkey, he's an adorable redhead with a zillion freckles. Afterwards on my way home I stopped in at this new Thai restaurant in Mesa and had the best pad thai ever in Arizona. I got back home took a little nap and now I'm packing up a bit and moving some of my crap into my new place today while listening to some j-pop.
Around five-ish hooray I get my haircut then off to Phoenix to a british pub George and the Dragon and going to get me some Boddingtons's. I forgot to mention I finally got grip, trunks, and wheels for my skateboard. It's been nearly a year since I had my skateboard and never gotten all the stuff put on it. So I'm pretty excited it's done.
Kids, kicked ass pad thai, packing, haircut, skateboard, and Boddingtons make my Saturday so fulfilling.

They're amazing, when I get over how amazing they are I'll be able to type out more details of how awesome they are...
The opening song "How it Ends," seeing it live just brought tears down my eyes. I danced and clapped so much I felt like I was at a jewish wedding. They're kind of this jazzy, jewish, folk, unique, indie, eastern European, and amazingly sounding band. I'm in love with the singer, I forgot what it was like to fall for a guy with so much passion.
I was dancing, clapping, jumping, screaming, and singing along all night. I got there really early with my friend Jesse, so we got really good spots. I was up close to the stage with all anticipation. With all that has happened I've looked forward to seeing them live for nearly a year now. Derek was the one who told me about them. It was such an emotion and spiritual climax for me being there. His voice is so haunting and brings me to the weeping reality with a quirky sense of joy and familiarity.
How it ends has been my favorite song for a while now and with the passing of my grandfather it's more then a song, it's state of my life right now. To just celebrate this state while mourning for it is such a paradox in itself, but when it transcend reality into music I've found a short sense of peace. To dance it away with people and feel the intensity of great entertainers being there was pilgrimage for an indie whore like me, maybe with a little bit of emo too. Even to tie in the movies they've been featured (soundtracked) in like Everything that is Illuminated and Little Miss Sunshine, their sense of isolation, community, and fish out of water; those type of themes I gravitate to. So the score, the soundtrack, and tone was there right in front of me, for me to amerce myself more in some of the lesions of fiction.
With a bottle of wine and bundle of flower the lead singer Tom Hagerman enters the stage. They had a vintage accordion, a trumpet, a violin, a giant bass, mandolin, guitar, and drums. The lady who played the trumpet had red Christmas lights wrapped around it from the inside out. The violinist both played the violin and accordion. The lead did the guitars; acoustic and mandolin. The drummer well drummed and had a trumpet.
DeVotcha oh my was the best live performance I've ever seen. The entire crowd were jumping around and clapping all night and swaying along the bottle of wine he swings in front of the audiences. As my friend Jesse said music is better then sex, for me it was proven last night.

Iota is a short film that I fell in love with this morning. People check it out if you ever find it or get a chance to see it. It's 10 minutes, but it's so beautifully done and simply moving.
I've been such a recluse when it comes to watching all the indie and foreign flicks right now with the little time I have. It's helped me in dealing with the grieving and stress that's in my life right now with my family and finances. I'm working hard to build stability in a topsy-turvy world.
But in the midst of it all when I find something I find visually beautiful through art, film, and etc... it makes life a little easier to swallow. As for my morning watching Iota that 10 minutes of just sadness and visual sensibility was nice. It's kind of a sad story like Ponette, but more compelling because it's a short film then an intensely sad story of a french orphan. Iota is more of a strangely haunted state of mind through a tragic kind of remembrance for a love one and the cinematography make it so easy to eternalize the film symbolic for me.
Over all death comes with redemption.

It's been intense and I don't know what to say about all that has happened to me the last couple of weeks. I lost a great man in my life my grandfather who was literally like a father to me. Going home for the funeral was the most isolated and saddest moments in my life. Not only did my grandfather died, my grandmother his wife suffered from internal bleeding and wasn't able to attend his funeral. She was stuck in ICU at Fountain Valley hospital for the entire duration since his death the previous Sunday.
The hardest part for me wasn't his death it was the parts were I saw my grandmother suffering emotional, as she wasn't allowed to say good-bye and attend the funeral. Everyone else in my family went to his funeral except me; I volunteered to stay with my grandmother in the hospital the day of including the previous night. That Saturday was the most heart breaking moments of my life seeing my grandmother morn for my grandfather. They been married for nearly 70 years and she wasn't able to see him one last time.
I'm officially back home in Arizona and ready to move with a new resilience of heart. I took a risk last week and flew in for this job interview that I whole-heartedly wanted and I didn't get. With all that have happen as I mentioned I have a new resilience of heart to get through this phase of my life. I'm ready and looking forward to starting a completely new life here with what I have. My mom and grandmother for the most part want me to move back home to California. I honestly don't want to do that because Arizona has been a blessing and break for me so far.
I understand my grandmother's sense of loneliness and it hurts me, but I know everyone else there as to step-up for her other then me. I did what I can and I'm a little bit debating whether I should move back home. As for right now I just have to focus my energy here while I'm still in Arizona.

Oh my gawd. I just finished a Battlestar Galactica marathon with my friends the last two night. Tonight we finally got done with season 2 and season 3 will be on air in October. I'm not a sci-fi person and always gave this disgusted look when people watch anything on the sci-fi channel, but Battlestar is pretty decent.
Lately I'm still busy as usual and I finally have a Friday off. I get to sleep in, clean my room, do laundry, and that one boy who I baked cookies with last week is coming over for a Cowboy Bebop anime night. So far I don't know if I'm ever so much interested in him as I was, but I really don't know. He's great, but he's still hooked on his ex which kind of sucks when you're trying to start something off together. Meh, so I'm tired, geeked out, sleepy, and about to pass out.
Oh ya I hung out with Lola and ran into sassythomas on Tuesday at Black Coffee. It was great to chat up a storm, listen to some industrial, and all that good stuff.
The only thing I've looked forward to the last couple of days is my gym ball/ yoga ball. I love that thing to death. I've been using it like every other day for some toning exercise and stretching. That thing kicks ass with not much exercising. I get cravings to use it while I'm at work, I tell myself when I get home the first thing I'm going to do is use my gym ball. In then end I get home and just crash out to Colbert Report or Adult Swim. I normally use it when I first get up in the morning to prep my body for the day.
So everyone go get yourselves a damn gym ball. I'm not an exercise trend whore, but that thing is awesome

.I've been really happy the last 2 days, it's been busy, but the moments in between have been fun and good.
But today out of all days I feel good, like super, well really happy. I woke to a peace that hit my soul and gravitated me all the way down to my little toes or bear cub feet, as Max_Traffic would call them...
I've been listening to a lot of my Life Aquatic Soundtrack, which makes driving a silly adventure. I've been quite quirky and whimsical this last week too. I love living here in Arizona so far, I mean FINALLY. I thought I would never say it, but life here for me has been such a blessing and a break. I have really great friends out here, who have been really down to earth, drama-free, fun, and amazing to hang out with.
I'm a happy girl, like so happy it's scary... It's been so beautiful here too, I mean the sunsets, monsoon, the open blue skies, and the landscape of living out in Queen Creek has really gotten the best of me. Everything feels so right even though it's been chaotic in some ways with life via working, my little sister's health, my car (now better, was a false alarm), job-hunting, and some finances.
The moments in betweens seem to last a longer impression on me then usual and it's been good. I've been taking in all my lazy moments I have had to just really soak up my environment and simple pleasures of dorking out to my guilty pleasures. Cooking, baking, watching tons of movies/anime, and grocery shopping (I <3 grocery shopping esp. Trader Joes) brings out the best in me. I baked cookies the other day, watch anime and Underworld with this really cool, dorky, and geeky boy. (minus the fact that he owns 18 snakes he's awesome 
). The next day I went on a cookie run and had dinner with my friends Jen and Jay it was nice.
I guess a geeky boy I get to bake cookies for and watch anime with can make me happy.
So I'll keep my moving out to Seattle goals on hold for a while, until I'll find some reason to hate Arizona, but so far it's hard.

Went to Tranz, saw Snog, work, more work, a really fun Greek pool party, and some more work pretty much summed up my weekend.
I'm tired.
I'm tired.
