I’ve got more than one friend that I consider to be my best friend, that I consider to overwhelm all the responsibilities of a regular friend and become a best friend, a sister. Some of them, one of them is just like me. Boat sisters as we would say. Down to the very situations in our lives we know exactly what its like. I’ve got another best friend, she’s a badass at softball, and thats probably one of our biggest differences. I can’t throw a ball for my life, much less hit it. She’s strong to her beliefs and would rather spend the day with her other half, I don’t think she’s not had one. Me on the other hand, I got a little crazy in high school and took the opposite route of her, but we’ve been there for each other since I can remember and thats what really matters to me. I’ve got these two best friends that have seen me through my best and worst days, since elementary days. One of them used to play it safe but I think I showed her that life is about not being so scared and taking some risks. Biggest difference? She’s good at a bunch of crap that I’m not. My other best friend, biggest difference is our circumstances. She’s always been searching for something from boys that her MIA mother didn’t give her. Love my best friends and don’t know where I’d be without them. 

Quite frankly I don’t really care about celebrities and all that nonsense. There’s a lot that I like but I don’t have the time or energy to hate on any of them. Although, I do have this awkward irritation toward Selena Gomez. I mean she’s cool and everything and I like her I just don’t like who she reminds me of cause he was in love with her. Yeah okay fack dat. 

I hope the days come easy, and the moments pass slow and each road leads you where you want to go, and if you’re faced with a choice and you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you. And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walking till you find the window. If its cold outside show the world the warmth of your smile. But more than anything, My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it too. Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small, you never need to carry more than you can hold. And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to I hope you know somebody loves you and wants the same thing too, yeah this is my wish. I hope you never look back but you never forget all the ones that love you and the place you left. I hope you always forgive and you never regret and you help someone every chance you get. Oh you find God’s grace in every mistake and always give more than you take…
 You can find the lyrics to this song on my sidebar because it really is the most powerful song I’ve ever heard. Goosebumps covered my skin when I first heard this song and it’s been one of them life-changing songs. I’m a firm believer that music speaks when words fail, that music says what we can’t, music doesn’t hurt when it hits and it hits hard. This will always be a song that hits home. Rascal Flatts, My Wish <3

Best concert I’ve been to would have to be the one that happened right here on my street with my neighbors. For Duke’s grad part we got Natty Vibes to come and play and they shut this thing down. Skanking to every song, specially BALLS ROLLIN’ & SHAWTY! Right along with my family and upperclassmen it was a bomb time and we all enjoyed it. Even people who lived all the way at the bottom of Mauka got to hear natty vibes and hear them rock the house. I’ve been to Chris Breezy & Janet Jackson but none quite compared to Natty Vibes. 

Tumblr used to be a pretty underground thing. When it was just starting out I had found one of my facebook friend’s tumblrs back in the summer of 2010 and I’d just tweak on it and read all the quotes and steal them for statuses. I’d look at all the artsy pictures, relatable quotes and posts and copy and feel like someone understood but I never really wanted to make one. I finally did during Junior year and I didn’t understand it at first but now its my narnia, well it was for a while. And now its getting boring cause its so P0pZ these days haha. But yeah, tumblr was kinda god sent for me. No more writing on paper, now I can type away all my feelings, weehaw.

I’d say my mother or father so I could truly learn to appreciate all that they do for me, but I don’t have to be put in their shoes to know that they’ve done everything for me. I’d say my two sisters but I’ve already experienced middle school & high school and I don’t so much want to do it again so badly that I’d waste this chance on that. I’d say my past lover but what good would that be, he’s gone and there’s nothing worth dwelling over. And so I suppose it’d be sufficient to say I’d want nothing more than to switch lives with some celebrity. Someone who lives the life of a rockstar with love & luxury. With money to spend, places to go, people to see. Some exciting, euphoric celebrity with an adventurous and carefree life. Thats the life I’d like to have for a day. 

Probably drive my car off a cliff…nbd. Nah that’s a little dramatic but I’d probably feel like the worst person in the world. Regardless of if we were in a fight or not I’d be at her bedside from the moment I found out, but if we got into a fight I’d be there bawling just praying she’d wake up so I could tell her & show her that those petty fights weren’t worth our friendship. It always seems to play out like this though, where someone gets into an accident after you’ve had a messy disagreement. Which is why they say, never let someone leave when they’re angry because you never know if that’s the last time you’ll see them or talk to them. If you love someone make sure they know it because our time is limited and we never know when we’re gonna go.

Love is love. I don’t understand why people make such a big ruckus about gay people. I don’t have anything against them, but I do find it odd. Either way, love is love and you should be able to marry the love of your life. Whether that be someone of the same gender or the opposite gender of you. 

As bad or weird as it may should I don’t quite have a best friend…I have a few. So to describe them would be unfair. They know who they are and I love them dearly. Wouldn’t be half the person I am today without them in my life. 

Significance of numbers? Today is an ironic one, mainly because this is bday boys’ former number. Anyways, I really am not one to be possesive over material possessions. I fail to lock my car sometimes because I really don’t place much value on material possesions. I value everything else a bunch more. But right now, My class ring is a prized possession, as is my basketball Hawaiian bracelet. My phone is pretty imporant to me too. My life is kinda on here so it plays a pretty big role in my life, yeah. 

I tweak on youtube sometimes but not for watching videos really, more for the music thats on there. Though the ones that I do watch from there are usually hilarious. I can’t think of one right now but I’ll let you know when I do. 

Jasmine Tangonan. We’ve been best friends since elementary school days and I’ve looked to her for guidance ever since. She’s been through a lot in her life but she’s turned all the bad to good because she’s helping me as I struggle through similar problems. She’s not one to judge, she listens with an open heart and mind. She offers advice. Though she may come off as a bitch who doesn’t care about what any one thinks, I don’t care much. She’s one of my best friends and she basically knows my life story. She knows what its like, she shows you both sides. She’s helped me through the roughest of times and kept me strong when I was at my weakest. I can tell her absolutely everything and know that even if it was wrong and bad, that she wouldn’t look at me differently or make me feel bad about it. Thanks Jas for always having my back, I love youu!

After being given the opportunity to travel to Europe during sophomore year I’ve had this dream of traveling the whole world. I remember at first dreaming of going to Europe as a mere 3rd grader, drawing the Eiffel tower and telling my parents that one day I’d go there. In 2010 that dream came true and more sprouted inside of me. I want to go to New York and see the big city of dreams. I want to go to Texas where the buffalo roam. I want to go to the Polynesian islands like Tahiti and Aotearoa, where my ancestors culture’s may have been inspired. I want to go back to Europe to sip wine, eat cheese, and appreciate art in true form. I want to go to Japan, China or Korea, to marvel at their technology and food. I want to go on a true African Safari and run in the same fields that Lions do. I want to go to the Atlantic and watch the sharks fins dip above and below the surface. I want to travel the world and see all the beauty this world has to offer. But more important than the places I go, its the people I go with.  

As Leona Lewis once said, “I just wanna be happy,” its true, most of us are on the pursuit of happiness, but its not a destination, but an indescribable feeling. When you experience sheer and utter blissful happiness you’ll know exactly what it means. I can admit that I’ve been happy, I know what happiness is. But I could never tell you, cause then I’d have to kill you. Haha just kidding but no a real note though, Happiness is dependent on the people you’re sharing it with. I’ve been happiest when sharing moments with people who I love and who truly love me. I’m happiest when I’m at the beach, when I’m just kicking it with my neighbors outside, when the sun is caressing my skin, when I’m laughing so hard that I can hardly breathe, when I lay my head against his big heart with his big arms wrapped around me, when I’m staring at an A that I worked hard for, when I know God is on my side, when the person next to me is happy. So what if it hurts you, so what if you break down, so what if the world throws you off the edge, so what if your feet run out of ground….find your place, care not about all the pain in front of you, just be happy…
