No matter how much 

two people love each other, 

there are going to be times 

when they end up

hurting one another.

I know we've made some mistakes,

but I believe we can 

learn from them

and become more sensitive

to each other's feelings and needs,

and more willing to compromise

when we disagree.

I want so much

to put the past behind us

and concentrate making 

what we have together 

even better, even stronger...

I really want to try

because, more than anything else, 

I still believe in us

and in the special love 

we share. 

               - Tracy Donavan

Happy anniversary to you too, Artee.

I Love so much of the card that you sent me,

especially the messages in it

Love you always

Hey everybody, i m back!!! After spending 3 unforgettable weeks in China, visiting friends and family, and of course, did some major shopping!!! whoohooo... and now, i finally arrived San Mateo California! It's been a whole week since i got here... Even though we didn't do much, but we did go to San Francsico for a boat ride to see the Golden Gate Bridge. Yesterday, we went to a very special wedding in Berkeley, and got the chance to walk around UC Berkeley's campus... it's really big!!! Looks like we will be going to China Town tomorrow... gah.. i really wanna go there... since i m a chinese, i guess i don't have to worry about not knowing how to speak the language..lol...

Now that i am counting back, i've already left Guam for a month, i never thought that i would miss this place... but now i must confess.. i really miss Guam, especially the people on Guam.. and the friends who i love and who loves me so much! Even though i am afar... but i will keep in touch with everyone of you... at least i will try! since i can call Guam for FREE! haha...

I got mails from ARTEE! YES YES YES!!! this means so much to me, even though we are apart, but we still try our very best to keep in touch with each other! I am very touched and very thankful!!!

A His and Her Story

Jan. 21st, 2004. --- At the beginning...

They hate...

They love...

They are a clueless couple...

Carefree...

Spontaneous...

But they are happily in love...

He is cute...

and she is all right...

but when they are together, everything is perfect...

They laugh...

They cry...

but no matter how complicated things go, they can never be apart...

She knows when not to bother him...

and when she should...

On his big day, she's with him...

Wherever he goes, she would want to follow...

the past...

now...

and FOREVER....

Z: Guess what?
A: What?
Z: I love you...
A: Ha! I love you MORE...
Z: So?... I love you the MOST...hehe...

Every story has an ending, but this story has just began...

Love always

Went to the mall with Artee, Ken, Steve yesterday to watch Batman, the movie was really good, GO WATCH IT!!! hehe... Kyle showed up in the middle of the movie...and kicked back w/ us.

After the movie, we went to the food court and ate there. Oh ya, we got free ice cream from Armel. Kyle played that little game in Burger Kings, and won a free burger, actually Steve played it w/ Kyle's money, so Kyle had free food... haha.. it is all good!

I followed them to play Tekken at the mall, saw Noemi's brother? Jan? not too sure wat his name is, apparently he hangs there quite often... because he was there b4 we watched the movie, and still there after the moive was done...that's cool!! hehe... The guys didn't have enough at the mall, so we went to Ken's house to continue... haha... I WON my very first Tekken game, impressive, HUH??? lol.... hmm... after that, Artee and I went to pick up Armel and the sister and then i went home...

That was pretty much my day, it wasn't really that fun, but as long as i get to spend time w/ Artee, i really don't care... hehe... 4 more days....*sigh*

Here's a really old picture of me, i guess i was feeling totally retarded... haha.. don't laugh... it's freaky.... i think it is!!! It's really hard posing for the camera... How do the models do that??? geez...



That's all for now...

Well, i m trying to fix my xanga, to make it Display ONE ENTRY ONLY.... i even tried the codes, but why the hell isn't it working? man... it's pissing me off....

IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO MAKE XANGA DISPLAY ONE ENTRY ONLY..... PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!
(by making the rest of the entries private doesn't count, haha coz it takes forever to do that)

THANKS!
Love, Love, and MORE LOVE
