Take me out tonight, where there's music and there's people, and they're young and alive

I am definitely grateful for this weekend. I did not expect half the things that took place in the past two days, but that's when you know that you really have got to know how to go with the flow of things and expect the unexpected.
Friday night turned out pretty interesting.. it was somewhat of a chill date. Then on Saturday, it led to a spontaneous trip to our friends' houses, then I ended up watching the Pacquiao fight at Cess' house which of course, just like the typical Pacquiao boxing parties, resulted on the walls of the house figuratively falling apart from all the laughing, jumping, and screaming with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. Coming home late on a Friday night was a major relief; I missed the nightlife.

Today was absolutely amazing. Forgetting to bring the camera because of the rush to get ready was quite a disappointment to Lizeth and I, but the day turned out pretty well. We headed to Walnut Creek to shop, and I have got to tell you, I absolutely love street and outdoor shopping. It seemed like its been forever since I've been there, but walking around the streets and coming across familiar faces until the winter chill hits at about 5 in the afternoon was a sweet experience. Urban Outfitters and H&M would have to kick us out of their stores because we could NOT make up our minds. She and I need to go back and get some of the things we had our eyes on, and hopefully it will be soon.
We left the place and went to Concord Mall to shop at Forever 21 and Heritage- and boy were we in another rush. We struggled to find an item of interest in less than thirty minutes. Power walking around the mall was actually pretty funny, considering that some of the salesmen were trying to catch our attention. But we had one mission, and one mission only.

We stopped by to get some food, sat down and had a long talk about a lot of things. It was a good feeling.. all cutesy from beginning to end. And to give it that sparkle, the music that we played in the car was a recollection of some of the sweetest, most epic songs. The Smiths, Joy Division, Phoenix, Lykke Li, and a whole bunch of other indie, echno, rock, and classic songs were playing the whole time on the way back to Vallejo. Last song playing - "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" - The Smiths
