Vacation pt. I

Bali, seeing Nicole :), swimming, eating, banana pancakes, eating, 3 dollar raybans, eating, Philippines, swimming, mosquito bites, Mall of Asia, sitting, talking, more mosquito bites, more eating, shopping.. That's seriously all my family does during vacations.. eating, shopping, sitting around, swimming.

I love being here & after hearing all of that, I really don't want to go back.. It's nice just being around family & all that.

Got some bad news a few days ago.. I hate getting phone calls really late at night. It's always something bad. My grandpa died on.. Friday, I think? Prayers for my mom/family.

Note*

I wish everyone could hug it out & be friends.

I miss you guys :(

- I'm sorry I couldn't be here for your birthday, but I hope you had a lovely one with lost of cake & goodness & treats.

- I wish I there so I could help you through this! I'm really sorry I dragged you in to all of this :( Be strong. Everything will get better eventually ♥

- I really wonder what you're doing with all this extra free-time..

- We better hang out a bunch when I get back & before you leave.. I still have your I ♥ NY shirt!

- TEA PARTY WHEN I GET BACK!

- Hurry up & get back already. You needa take us out.

- Let's watch a scary movie :) Paranormal Activity 2, yes?

- I hope your.. situation is getting better. & I hope you're sleeping more!

- Had a dream about you last night. What you said.. I hope it's true.

Toodalooo.

That word describes today PERFECTLY.
Woke up to Krista's text, went to school to drop stuff off, waited for Krista @ her dentist appointment, made her think we were going to the mall but surprised her & took her to Threshold instead :), went back to her house, decided to get boba, ____________, awkward moment in Mana donuts, chilled in the laundromat, back to VBS, I love little kids, but that was the most tiring thing ever -__-, didn't know what to do afterwards so randomly went to Hulda Crooks with Krista & Risha & talked.. quality bonding time lol, phone call to Nathaniel.. nice way to end the night -- thanks!

Thoughts:
- Krista, you jinxed it.
- It was nice seeing you today.. Ferrenstein :)
- Shooting star syndrome. I ♥ that! Thanks for telling me.
- Lol guess we don't need to do our plan anymore after all..
- Thanks for listening to my story. All of them.
- Talking with you two made me realize just how much..
- You're confusing.
- Story time? I think yes.
- I don't miss you very much. Different..
- 3 weeks should be good enough, right?
- I hope you finish your dream. That prayer better work!
- Is it a sign? Hahahah. Seems like it.
- "Remember that one time when.." I hate how it's not like that anymore.
- You're a shady individual. You lied!

Hm, lots to think about tonight.
♥, mo.

My circadian

is broken.
I reeeally need to start sleeping earlier.

1. You got this. You need to start putting your
needs in front of others.. You already give so much.

2. I miss you. But for now, I'll try helping you out..

3. I'm thankful I asked & I'm glad I heard both sides.
I never should've judged & assumed so many things..
I still don't exactly know what to believe, but at least
I have a clearer understanding. I'm sorry everyone
thinks so poorly of you. Usually, it IS your own fault.
But at the same, most people judge you based off of
the person they knew years ago. Not how you are now.
It may seem like the same person, but I hope what
you said was true when you said you "grew up".

4. I still keep thinking back to that night & how happy
I was. Thank yooou for that. (:

HappySaturdays

Went to sabbath school @ the University for the first time in years! Played falling down on Ryan's ipod w/ Cassidy & then some old guy comes up to Santhush & blames him for not paying attention.. haha. I ♥ communion. I wish they could package the little bread squares & sell it. Went to Souplantation afterwards with Cassidy, Santhush, & Ryan. NEVER AGAIN will I eat out with Santhush.. he took 2 freaking hours. Back to Cassidy's.. Bought tie-dye supplies + shirts last night, but when we opened the shirts, we found out they were like 10 sizes too small.. they'd fit a 5 year old. Tested out our tie-dying skills anyways. VBS meeting. Back to Cassidy's house & got picked up by Ryan+Thush to go get Cassidy's lip pierced O_o KRISTA, if you're reading this: I took a video of it on your camera.. so please upload it :) Met up with Matt + Baby John @ In-n-out.. then bryn mawr, hulda crooks, stole Matt's car & went to boba, longboarding, fireworks.. mMhm.

I like summer.

Booompop

She has future plans and dreams at night. When they tell her life is hard, she says, "that's alright."

Broke into Cassidy's house, woke her up, plucked Nick's eyebrows/thighs, sat around, listened to weird music, went to Nick's, ate his cereal, looked at old pictures, let Keira leave video comments, went to McDonalds, dropped Nick off, followed Jason to Danny's house, went to boba, back to Cassidy's, sour patch watermelon gummy's ♥, compassio, talked with Nathaniel, talked with Cassidy, went to wal-mart & bought shirts + tie-dye stuff, dropped her off.. MHM.


Nathaniel: I don't know if you read this.. but thank yooooou. You are an amazing listener. You always make me feel so much better. & I'm glad I was sort of able to repay you with all the times you've had to listen to my ridiculous stories. But I honestly hope everything goes well for you. You, of all people, seriously deserve the best.

For now..

1. Like? I like how you'd entertain me every day with your crazy stories. I like how we'd make fun of ____ & ____. I like how easy you are to talk to & how easily we got along with each other. I like how you understood me, even if I didn't have to tell you about it first. Dislike? The fact that you're leaving me here :( First impression? Jeez this girl is intimidating.. Hahaha. Confession? I feel closer with you than ____.

2. Like? I like.. how easy you are to be around, how you make me laugh, how I can talk to you about stupid things, but when I need to talk to you about something serious, you're there to listen & give advice. Oh, & I like how you put up with my jerkiness. Haha. Dislike? You can be a girl sometimes. First impression? I don't even remember.. Confession? You're sorta charming. Haha.

3. Like? I like how honest & real you are, how you work hard for what you want, your taste in music :), how nice you are to me, but also how you tell me what I should fix about myself, how fun it is to make fun of you.. Dislike? When you get sad. First impression? Super asian.. Confession? I still don't know what my birthday card symbolizes. You should tell me.

4. Like? I like.. how I can classify you as the nicest guy I know, how easily you can read me, how you always knew when something was wrong.. there's so much more. What I like most, though? Your advice giving & listening skills. Dislike? We don't talk as much as I'd like. First impression? He looks like ___. Confession? I'll tell you when we talk..

O_o

Err, too lazy to update about government trip. PICTURES!

This weekend:
Friday - Eclipse w/ Matt & Tim. Compassio.
Vespers. Phone call w/ Krista. Sooo frustrating.
Saturday - Filipino church. Nasty healthy teriyaki food w/
Krista, Risha, & Sherlene. Spammed facebook with videos
to each other. Finished Angus, Thongs, & Perfect Snogging
at Krista's. Pizza. Alice in Wonderland. Sleeep over.
Sunday - Failed plan to Christine's beach house in SD.
Went to Subway, then back to Krista's. Watched Mean
Girls w/ Risha while the other two fell asleep. Picked up
their Australian friends then went to Santa Monica for
July 4th. I love taco stands. & portos ♥. & yummy pastries.
Today: Woke up at 3:24 p.m. -___- WASTE. I'm setting
my alarm for 10 next time. Cuca's + Toy Story 3 later (:

1. I'm so excited for you to be in high school next year!
2. There needs to be more boys like you at school.
3. So many things I want/need to say to you. Too bad I can't.
4. I have never been so frustrated. Seriously? Grow up.
5. Reading that.. exactly what I didn't want to happen.
Hurts =/

=/

Prayers for Nell & her family. It's all just so sad.. God, please be with her. It'll be tough, but she's such a strong girl & I know she'll be able to pull through this. Lesson learned: Don't take things for granted. Things can change in an instant, so just be thankful for everything & appreciate the people you have in your life.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got back from government trip yesterday! It was soo much fun being able to chill with everyone for those 10 days, but I'm definitely glad to be home. I'll write about it + post up pictures later.

1. I can't believe you seriously did that, & over something so stupid also. I never would've guessed it was you. Maybe him, but definitely not you. There's better ways to solve problems than doing something as immature as what you did. Goodness, why has everyone been so disappointing this year? & not just people who don't matter. It's the people who I actually care about who've surprised me the most this year.

2. You're still the same exact person you were freshman year.

3. We definitely need to catch up! There's so much I still need to tell you.

4. You sneaky beaver! Never would've seen that one coming either.
Goodness, my friends are just so..
