I never realized how lucky I am to have met a wonderful person like you
It's true, they said "you never know what you have until you lose it"
I acknowledged this when the thought of losing someon elike you, one who cared, came to mind
I know that you'll always care becaue that's just how you are
So THANK YOU for never ceasing to let me know I mattered to someone
I'll always care for you too my friend! - Myfriend that I never though I would like in that way?
But Thank You! I'm grateful to have had met you and have you as a friend!
Knowing you was great, but bgetting to know you to become a friend is just plain WONDERFUL! ;)

...Bear...
What a day! Azel picked me up this morning then we head to pick up Mary Anne and Jerome to go watch Finding Nemo. We wanted to catch the 12:30 show but it was packed already so we decided to get the 1:15 showing. We then decided to go to Build a Bear to get Ken, Jerome and Azel's son, clothes! that was the first time I went in there and it was cool! hahah..I wanted one but I thought it was too expensive..then I thought! I should get my sister one as a graduation present! so yeah! I made one! ;) hehehe..it was expensive, but it was personalize so it was worth it...haha..I don't think I'll get myself a bear..I'd rather spend money for someone I care for than myself ;D. I wanted to get my bro something personalized too but I don't really know what he wants now..and I'd get him a bear as well but I thought he wouldn't have a place for it in his room..just his closet..so yeah..I think Imma just get him a tripod for the digi. cam that he and my sis got for their grad. present since he's been needing one. An X box would be too expensive for me to get him @ the moment..lol! So yeah, we got in the 1:15 show but it was really packed and we didn't want to be separated so we decided to go in the 2:00 showing so we stayed in there by ourselves and waited! lol! it wans't that long for some reason! lol! we got good seats! heheh ;D
Anyways, after the movies, we head to Clairemont to eat @ a Japanese restaurant Jerome took us. Too bad we didn't get to go to the beach or Sunsets Cliff to hang out w/ the posse! Maybe next time guys! it was really cloudy and the weather was kaka! but we GOTTA kick it sometime! ;) The restaurant was great! something new! haha...before the restaurant by the way, we went to the hobby store and it reminded me a lot of childhood stuff! ;D lol! After the restaurant, we headed to Convoy to Morning Glory where I spent TOO much AGAIN! ack! it's my haven! lol! w/ stickers and stationaries! hahahah! and I finally bought that check holder thingy where I couldn't decide w/c 1 I wanted! I bought it yet I don't know where my checks are! ack! hope to find it soon! After a time of indicisiveness @ Morning Glory, we got some drinks @ Green Tea and chatted there. After that, we headed to Jerome's pad to take pictures of the bears and change Ken! hahah After Jeromes, Azel and I then dropped off Mary Anne then we headed to Target to get Chico cat food! Then off I go home! heheh..fun day! ;D thought still a bit disoriented from being car sick! or maybe it was just my socks! hahahah WeE!
The bear I got my sis is on the right and the one on the left is Jerome and Azel's son Ken! haha ;)
