i don't know where and how to start this entry..
but i felt like i needed to write things down so this is where i decided to come.
for the past 3 days, i felt like i've been to hell and back. I was a new student to foothill towards the end of my sophomore year and i much as i missed my friends from monta vista, i met new wonderful friends at foothill. that was my #1 support that helped me through the rest of my high school years. during those 2 years, i had met this one particular person. a person that always had a his smile on his face, great sense of humor, his kindness, once in a while his sillyness, and a person that cared for his friends at all time. he was very strong inside and out. As much as i am sad to know that this has happened to our friend,  i would love and would like to share with you guys, Vinh Tran.

when i first found out about this horrible tragedy, my body completely became numb. i received a text message from a friend approx wednesday 2:40am telling me that vinh has been involved in a hit and run motorcycle accident and he is currently in a vegetated state. the second i read the text, i didn't know what to do.. i couldn't belive what i just read. so i went online to find out what was going on and ended up on vinhs myspace where people have left endless comments showing there love and respect. it still wasn't real to me.. i left my house yelling and crying while all memories with vinh that i had were passing through my head. my legs were shaking and i couldn't control the gas pedal.. i went to pick up kim, then went to garretts house. friends gathered and helped each other out.

it's hard.. it's painful.. and it's depressing..

vinh.. i hope one day u will be able to read this.. and all the comments that people left u on myspace.. it's endless, vinh.. i wish i can just yell out your name right now and u will be able to answer me. everyone is waiting for you to come back. we believe in you. cause we all know that ur strong and u can pull through this. i was at the hospital yesterday but i didn't get a chance to see you. but i prayed and i'm still praying for u. please get back on your feet again. please wake up.. i'm missing you like crazy right now. i miss your hugs dookie. please.. please.. please.. hang in there.. i love you vinh..

drivers, including me.. PLEASE be careful on the roads.. just because motorcycles are smaller than cars, doesn't mean that cars over rule the road. and if you are or might be involved in an accident in the future, whether it is your fault or not, take the responsibility. running away isn't going to make anything better. not only it hurts the victim, but also their  family and friends. so please watch out and be smart about it. 

OK.. SO.. I FINALLY HIT THE ONE NINE!!

thank you everyone for the great gifts, phone calls, text messages, and aims!! i love u all!!
