Traffic Lights

"Today I thought of when my old best friend and I was sitting at this traffic light that was taking forever to change to green. We were being silly and started yelling at the light. The people in the car next to us ended up joining in our yelling match. The memory of it and sharing that moment with complete strangers LMS :)"

Crab Head

" I went crabbing with my family, which pretty much just involves a bag full of rocks and fish tied to a string thrown to crabs. We would throw the bags out and wait for the crabs to latch on, then pull them in (my brother is always saying that he catches the most, and only the big ones). My cousin ended up throwing the bag too high and not far enough, so while I wasn't looking, it landed on my head. Yes, it hurts to have a bag of rocks dropped on my head, but we all had a little laugh about that later (even with the bruise on my head and my hair smelling like fish). Time with family really LMS. And my uncle caught it on video... (: "

Unexpected Phone Call

" I was working on my paper today when my phone starting ringing. It was my uncle, one that I'm fond of but not particularly close to. He asked me about how I was doing and how school was going, and as I answered him. I kept waiting for him to "get to the reason why he was calling." Finally he said, 'Well okay, I just wanted to call to check up on you. Hang in there,' and hung up. Unexpected people who call just because they genuinely care LMS. Like this --> ^__________^ "

Discovering Others

" When I walked into Creation Fest 2010, I wanted to feed the animals in the little petting zoo. I blurted, 'Man I wish I had a quarter,' out loud, and a cute Asian girl from behind yelled out, 'I have one,' and walked over to me. We introduced ourselves, and she told me it was comforting to know there are more Asian Christians out there. She LMS for the rest of Creation Fest and now!(: "

Our Conversation

" As I got ready to leave my aunts house this past weekend, I was talking to my cousin's five year old son. When I applied lotion to my arms, he asked me what I was putting on. I told him it was lotion in which he responded back with, 'You need to put sun block too.' I replied telling him I didn't need to because I'm Asian, so I'm naturally tan. With that being said, he said the cutest thing ever, 'No. You, you're not Asian. Asians always stay at peoples house late. They are always late, especially Filipinos.' He's 3/4th White and 1/4th Filipino. This conversation by far LMS. (: "

Cheer Up

" I was reading the many statuses on Facebook, and saw one of my friends was feeling down. I said a few things that actually helped more people who felt the same way. Knowing I helped people feel better LMS. (: "

Just, Smile

" Today, I checked my event inbox for the first time in months. Cluttered in with many of the superficial and random groups I ignored, I came across Project-Smiles. Learning that students came up with this vision and are using technology for a positive purpose in society LMS. Great work. (: "

Transcending Love

" I have two neighbors, and I've never seen one without the other. They always do everything together: cook, garden, shop, attend mass. I went to church and sat behind them. During the peace where you shake hands or hug, I saw them turn and kiss each other.They're in their seventies. Love that transcends feelings and time LMS. (: "

Wowing Moments

" While watching the fireworks at the beach with my family yesterday, there were constantly little boys and girls yelling, 'Woah!' They got very excited each time the fireworks exploded. Their simple looks of innocence, and how it was so easy to amuse them made me smile and remember back to the days where I was just like them, full of 'wowing' moments. Simply remembering back to the days when I was their age and looking back at beautiful memories LMS. (: "

Sand-Covered Shoes

" Today at Alki, I left my shoes out on the sand and someone stepped all over them, leaving sand all over them. My friend, Chris voluntarily cleaned one off. This LMS. Haha (: "

Crosswalk Conversation

" Yesterday, I was walking to the library with my sister when we got to the crosswalk next to the library building. We both saw the button you push to alert the traffic lights of a pedestrian (or SOMETHING like that, I'm not really sure ...of what it really does) and started fighting over who would press it first. A friend of mine who was in his car, Mason, saw us fighting while he was waiting for the green light and shouted out to us across the street. From there we totally had a whole conversation shouting to each other back and forth. The silliness LMS. C: "

Our Bracelets

" During Spring Fling of Freshman year, a close friend and I were looking at a booth that sold bracelets. He asked, 'Which bracelet do you want?' I pointed at one that I had been eyeing for a while. When I asked him the same question, he pointed at one that looked exactly like the one I wanted. He told me, 'Let's buy each other a bracelet, that way both of us would have something to remember each other by, and something that will always bring each of us goodluck.' Afterwards, he slipped the bracelet on my wrist. Even though it's been a while, this memory has always LMS. (: "

Anonymous Gift

" Today I was in the car with six other Hazen students.We pulled up at Starbucks, and one of us ordered. When we came up to the window to pay, the worker told us that the lady in front of us saw a bunch of high school students in a car and gave $10 to help us pay. So the girl that ordered got free food. In return, we gave $5 to the orders of the people behind us. Moments like these demonstrate the good in humanity and LMS. (: "

Someone Close

" I have a friend who is also my roommate. Through 9 months together, we've cried, we've laughed, we've ate, we've shared a bed, we've joked, we've gotten mad, we've supported each other, we've took classes, all together and more fun memories. You won't realize the importance of someone till you lose him/her. She LMS. "

Music in the Morning

" This morning, I heard the song, 'By Your Side' by Urbangermany. Its currently on repeat becuse it makes me smile all the time. Maybe it's because I love music, or maybe because the song fits in with my mood, or the mellow rhythm just kept me happy. Its safe for me to say that music LMS. (: "

Don't Give Up, Until the Very End

" Yesterday [June 23, 2010 Wednesday], I experienced the feeling of unexpected discoveries. There's this guy I'm crushing on, but he's only a crush. We stopped talking for some time, and I thought he just didn't want to talk with me anymore, so I thought I should just give him up, after all he is just a crush. But, I still wanted to give it another go, and even if it failed, at least I know that I tried until the very end. So I decided to just ask him a random question. I never expected him to reply back to me and then converse for more than an hour. It LMS throughout our conversation. (: "

My Summer Day

" Today was my third day of summer break, and what can I say? It was amazing! Haha. I woke up to a sunny, cloud free morning with the cool breeze coming through my window. I was instantly awake and in an amazing mood. You know those days where nothing goes wrong? Today was one of them! My good friend/teacher/catechist of mine who is a popular motivational speaker asked me to take pictures for him at his talk at Western Washington University and I instantly took his offer. I brought along my friend who is also a photographer and we drove 2 hours to get there. At first I was nervous to disappoint him because it was my first time taking photos at a big event for someone who needs the photos. After a few test shots, I just threw away my fear and believed in myself, and as a result I take many amazing pictures. It was a great experience and I learn a lot from his talk such as "If you're stressing.. control your PMS!" -Hoan Do- and that quote made everyone gasp but he fooled everyone when he said P-hysical, M-ental, S-piritual. Haha. His talk taught me a lot and it was a lot of fun as well! Later when I got home my friend Ravit drove me to my friend Julie's house so I can drop off fabric paint she needed, and I thought no one was home until I saw her dad and it was quite awkward when I gave it to him but it's all good! I got home and my beloved friend Trang told me she wrote a blog about me and I read it and it just left me with a giant smile on my face. She wrote about our history and all these amazing things about me which made me feel warm inside. Two days ago she gave me her prom picture and left me a note on the back and it also just left me in a state of awe. I'm glad that I'm friends with her and I hope that our friendship will never end and will stay strong from now and forever. She is honestly the one who LMS every day for the last few weeks. She has influence and impacted my life so much in such little time. I don't know where I'd be if I didn't get my friendship back with her. I la la la lab her and hope she never changes because she's just one of a kind person who you'd be lucky to have in your life. I sound corny right now but I mean every word! Overall, today was just priceless.. a day to remember.. a day to look back on.. a day of relaxation and satisfaction.. today just LMS (; "

Her Love

" Today was my grandma's three year anniversary of joining the angels in the sky. My family got together and cooked all the meals she used to cook for us. Afterwards, we all shared our best memories about her and no one could resist smiling. It reminded me that even though Grandma is gone, she left her love, her loved ones, and all the smiles with it. I love my grandma to the max, and I will see her again one day, smiling. She LMS. (: "

Young Again

" Today I got to act like a little kid again. I spent the day with my 6 year old nephew. It made me smile, and reminded me of the joy and innocent soul of a kid just playing around with no stress, no nothing; just simply being a kid. Being with him today made me see that I can let go a little, to color outside the lines and knowing that it's okay to let down my guards sometimes. My nephew LMS. (: ♥ "

Beloved Brother
