wow.. fun times.. lets rock out!!

just wanted to write about two reallie important girls that I have in my life.. elleyn my cousin and best friend... and steph my bestest friend since way back when.  

this is stephanie.. me.. and elleyn.. we are a happy family.. hehe

yah.. well these girls are my heart... they are wat gets me through my day.. ya know.. like when you just can't take it anymore.. and you need to vent.  They are there.. when I am in my cleaning annoying mad mode.. they are there to ask me what is wrong.. when I am in a happy gay mood.. they laugh with me.. it is soo great to have them here with me.   I love soo much and don't know where I would be without my precious trio....

wow.. it all started 19 years ago... when my mommy put me in elleyn's krib for the first time.. I know that we could'nt talk or anything.. but mayn did we get along.. we were inseperable..and we still are.. I go to this girl for a lot of stuff. advice.. just to talk ..all of that stuff... and yah.. I know I act like I am older and wiser than this girl at times.. but we both look out for eachother which makes me happy.. she is like an older sister to me.. she is my roomie.. my advisor.. my sister.. that's my cousin elleyn.. she loves my uncondionally..even when I act weird... but my goal for her..is for her to get loose.. and burp in front of us once in a while... heheehe.. maybe to act as weird as me and steph do.. that would be soo funnie.. hehehe...I know she can do it..

ahhh.. as for my butt buddie steph... mayn this girl has been with me for hmmmm... 7 years....since 4th grade.. since the beginning of time.. it seems like we are meant to friends FOREVER.. YA FOREVER!!  I never get tired of her.. even though she is with me always.  yah.. so I think we are stuck with each other.. through marriage.. kids.. uh huh.. the works.  this girl is also the one who I go through allllll my firsts with .. lets see: drinking.. (not a lot though).... first dates.. first dances.. first getting pilted... first getting in a car accident with.. first going to a frat party with.. first taking azn pix with.. first joining the tennis team with... wow .. a lot more too.. so yah know she means a lot to me.  ahhh so many memories.. fun times fun times..I don't even know what would happen to me if I lost this girl as a friend.. ahhh.. it hurts just thinking about it.. but yahh... she is also like my sister.. I can go to her for anything.. I'm not scurred.. she doesn't judge me.. she just loves me for who I am.... thanks steph..

well actually... there are other dudes that fulfill my ohana heart.. they are jeff... arnell..ricky and chris.. but I'll talk about them some other time.. they are some special guys.. they are my like brothers... I love them to death also.. they protect me.. make fun of me.. and also give me advice... I am soo lucky to have friends in my life that love me as much as they do.. I thank God evey night for them..

each one of them have a place in my heart that can't be replaced... without them there is no me..they are a part of me... wat can I say..... I am a sappy girl... deal with it... (sorry guys.. my next entry will not be like this.. )  heheh..  

ohh.. and please pray for a quicker recovery for elleyn's dad..my uncle lex.. he had a triple bi-pass yesterday.. we love you uncle lex.. get well soon!!!

did a whole lotta nuthing.. if you think studyng is fun, you can do it for me...BUT one thing that brightened up my day was...

well.. I'm reallie happy that my lil sister Lan Lan  and my future bro in law...hehe came to visit me.. Lanie is a sweetie... she's just like me..in a way.. we are both reallie reallie wierd and funnie.. and somethings we totally disagree on.. and sometimes fight about.. yet we always manage to find our way back to sisterhood.. which is great.. cuz she's a reallie wonderful sister and I miss her a lot.  Without that girl in my life.. i dunno where I would be.  we can relate to alotta stuff..and I am glad she can come to me for advice about anything whether it is about her bf... to buying something at the mall.  it is just reallie nice to know that she is there for me too..  we used to be not as close.. I think we both have matured and grown up. I hope to see her again soon.  In many ways I want her to go to uic and live with me... but I know that it is her decision.. so whatever comes comes....

I guess Melissa's passing away has impacted me more than ever...I can't stop thinking about it.... but maybe not in a bad way.  I learned that you can't take life for granted.. you never know what may come... so there are so many things that I want to do and see before I go.... ya know.. so I am setting goals for myself.. I may not have all of them yet.. but I know that one is to go to church more and join yfc.. I need to pray more.. and thank God for everything that he has done for me.  Also.. I want to see my family more.. I used to not come home very often...but at least talk everyday..whether it is a couple minutes to a couple hours.  and one other goal that I have planned is to learn to play the guitar.. this has been something i've wanted to do for a long time... I've seen my bro play.. I admire him for learning so easily and it makes me want to play so bad...  so I think I'm gonna do it. 

there is my beautiful sis lanie (doesn't she look like me??? minus her big ears..hehe).. aimee.. and melis.. oh so pretty..

so anyone who can play and wants to give me lessons or knows anyone who can.. please lemme know.. okai??

well.. that is it for today.. I am in need of some rest...
