BLEH...ill be up in berk the whole summer for school. so far my only plans for going home is in june for my cousin's graduations. sometimes i just get tired of being here ;( so come visit guys!
story: walking up to the bouncer at grad bash, i handed him my military ID and he looked at it and said, "so you get one of these." and hands me a wristband for the bar. and i said, "no, im only 20." dumbfck! and dont ask me why i told the truth instead of taking advantage of his ignorance.

To my intelligent, smart, and very beautiful daughter,
Attached you will find your vaccination record. Let me know if there is anything else that you need. I will do anything to support and provide whatever you need to become successful. I know you are doing your part too especially, you are now 20 and smarter than ever before. Be a good girl always and a good man will come to your life someday after 15 years from now. :-) We love you very much.
I love you,
Dad

colorgenics.com:
You have exaggerated demands on life but you are cautious enough to try to hide these beliefs from the outside world. You are covert enough to try to impress other people around you with your achievements and at the same time able to put on an act of pretending to be 'humble' - being the same as everyone else. It would appear, however, that whatever you are doing seems to be working out O.K.
The way things are at this time is causing you considerable stress and anxiety. Your friends and acquaintances consider you to be - to say the least - difficult and unapproachable. Now it is because of this that you need to find some sort of solution. By doing nothing and waiting for matters to right themselves will only make things worse, but don't rush into making hasty decisions - make haste slowly.
The way things are, you feel that you are stuck in a rut and there is not much you can do about it. You feel frustrated and inhibited but if you can find a way to let yourself go, you may find that things aren't quite so bad as perhaps you thought they were. One consolation is that since you are an extremely emotional individual, with the right person you may be able to release some of that frustration and tension with some mutual tender loving care.
All of your stress arises from lack of mutual understanding. The existing situation is unsatisfactory and you feel that you are unable to improve it without the help and co-operation of others. The need for understanding and for affectionate 'give and take' remains unsatisfied. You are experiencing the feeling of being 'handcuffed' - 'tied down' - 'hindered' - 'restrained' and this untenable situation is giving rise to impatience, irritability and the desire to escape from it all.
In the past your trusting attitude has often been misunderstood and so you have needed to protect yourself against your tendency to be abused and taken advantage of. As a consequence you possibly adopt an aloof and critical attitude and you are only willing to let your guard down once sincerity and trustworthiness can be assured.

ONE year :D
to be continued.....NOW
so one year right? i seriously cant believe it still. roel never really asked me to be his g/f. it just kinda fell into place. i see it as ONE YEAR of BEING together. so our anniversary is actually the day of our first date, which was the night after semi formal. roel surprised me last saturday (day after semi) dressed up in same outfit he wore that first night....cuuute! so we basically relived our first date in san francisco with a couple detours to berkeley marina and treasure island. the whole night was just nostalgic. then at midnight on may 3rd, roel came to my apartment and we gave each other our gifts.....he wrote me a poem and placed it in a huge frame with flower petals around it AND made a scrapbook of us. soo cute and sweet! for him, i blew up one of our pics into a puzzle that said "we fit together" on it (corny but cute so shut up!) and put in a frame i painted. i loved our gifts! it means soo much more to me that WE acutally took the time to make stuff for each other. I dont need no necklace or bracelet to show how much he loves me. then that night i surprised him (with the help of madel and sherlyn...muchos gracias!) with a candle light dinner at sunset on the rooftop....it was perfect. we even had some sparkling cider ; > and there goes our one year celebration...
i love him....and couldnt be any more IN LOVE and HAPPY! the year was full of GOOD TIMES.. i can honestly say that i still get the butterflies when im around him, every kiss is like our first, and everytime he holds me its like i never want to let go. i dont know how long we'll last...but i know in the meantime we're perfect for each other. people said that after 3 months, the honeymoon stage is over....but i still feel it....then people say after one year, things change...but we wont let that happen. no one has ever made me feel soo good ; >

ive had MAJOR PMS lately : / im such a freakin brat sometimes. so last night was PAA's semi formal...and i freakin CRIED cause i got frustrated with my hair. if i was madel, sherlyn, or val i would have slapped myself! omg...can we say drama?? then i realized ive pretty much done that for all my formals in high school. its the "rushed" feeling that gets to me. but hey...if you dont feel pretty, whats the point of getting dressed up right? so anyways, the girls came to my rescue and did my hair. thanks guys, especially for putting up with me! err, the thought of it urks me! the dance was alright, last year was definetly better cause more people came out. everyone looked all cute and "jazzed up" (that was the theme). sucks to be me though cause i was fighting them cramps the whole night. geezus....i need to quit it!
im so excited about volunteering at the children's hospital in oakland this summer! believe it or not, its my first kind of "work experience" ever. again....BRAT.
