Got new sunglasses today. Yes, i know my old ones have been with me for a long time, and we have had many good memories together, but i think i sat on them or something cuz it got kinda bent. So i got new ones, and they are pretty cool.

Yesterday when we were about to leave boomers, jon opened the door to his car and hit himself with it in the chest.

I couldnt go to sleep last night for some reason. I think i just had a bunch of stuff on my mind and was too busy thinking. Of course, i would put that stuff here where it belongs, but i cant really remember much of it. Oh well. Probably not very interesting anyway.

I said a few days ago that i would do another random reflection on the month of august, but i find myself in the wrong mood. Hmm. Maybe ill do one later tonight, or tomorrow, or on sunday.

The story of my life can be chronicled around family trips to las vegas.

Today me and jon went to boomers! Fun fun fun, and no sarcasm for once. Hmm, where to start. Somehow we missed the big sign that said BOOMERS which marked the entrance to the parking lot, so we ended up parking near the back of it and walking all the way around a fence. We started the day off with the free arcade. Blah hah hah hah. My skills which have been so finely honed at las vegas arcades were put to good use as me and jon beat a whole bunch of fun games that cost a dollar each normally. After, we went on the ferris wheel which rotates freely and feels as if its gonna break under your weight. Jon kept leaning forward. Gah. Then mini golf! Lots of fun, and lots of funny shots by jon and me (more by jon). A couple of holes in one too. Jon says we cheated a lot, so i guess we did. Oh, there was this one shot where jon missed completely, and his ball bounced around and somehow landed in this mine cart that was facing the opposite direction. Kinda hard to explain, but really funny if youre there. Then we also did lazer tag and go karts, which were pretty fun too. We eventually went back to mini golf twice more, and to the arcade of course. We ended the day playing none other than the world reknown dance dance revolution. Hahaha. Good thing nobody i know was there. I think the fact that i am actually asian was the only thing that prevented me from making a total fool of myself. Thank goodness i didnt fall out of my shoes or anything. Phew. Yes, boomers was just the thing to get my mind of complicated stuff and put me in a good mood. Thank goodness for that. Then we ate at 99 ranch and had boba.

Hmm, so while we were doing mini golf the topic of girls came up. Apparently, Jon has several girls that like him (yes, several). There is also at least one girl he likes, but he's reluctant to pursue it cuz he's leaving for college in a few short weeks. How sad. As noted in a previous post, timing is everything in life. He also mentioned how a number of girls (i promised to keep the exact number secret) confessed that they had crushs on him, right before he leaves san diego. Again, timing is everything. Sigh.

Mike's Advice: Go with the flow, but make sure not to wait too long to act. Otherwise, time will run out before you realize it.

Sigh. Why is there always too much time to do stuff u dont want to, and not enough time to enjoy what is precious?

Go check out my new and improved web site. Its got some cool new stuff. Really!

Hmm, lets see. I chatted with eupheme a little. She told me about all the incredible and massive changes that have taken place at mt carmel since my departure. Apparently the freshman have been doomed with the homeroom system. Gah. How horrible. Because of this new system, they have an extended lunch, but have also gone back to 5 minute passing periods. In my opinion, 5 minute passing periods were 2 minutes shorter than i would have liked. Thank goodness for 7 minute passing periods. Hmm, anyway.

Quotable Mike: Things change. But not as much as people change.

Jon has a girl who has a huge crush on him. Interestingly enough, he happens to like a totally different girl, who was nice enough to show him her bedroom. Seriously! :P How exciting. Nice going Jon. I always knew u were a player at heart.

"Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesnt mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me"

August is almost over. I am thinking about doing a reflection on the month of august (these reflections are very spiritually relaxing for me!) by the end of the week. So stay tuned.

Boomers tomorrow!

"The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness walks up to greet me."

So today we went to go get a radio / CD player installed in my van. Unfortunately, we found out that doing so would cost about twice as much as we thought it would, something about reinstalling the entire sound system blah blah blah. Yes, it would seem that i am destined to drive reubens to college everyday. Bah! Well, all i can say is that i will be getting the greatest car ever invented afterwards. I can also say that if mom expects me to drive around without a radio again, then we will be having words. Many words. Words gradually increasing in volume. Sigh.

Changing the oil of a car isnt much more fun than it sounds.

Quotable Mike: If things didnt change, then we would never be able to grow, learn, or improve ourselves.
Quotable Mike: On the other hand, if things didnt change things would never get worse.

Hmm, so today was mostly errands and other boring stuff with the family. Nothing interesting.

i was looking at my schedule for ucsd, and realized how far away some of my classes are. Normally this wouldnt be a problem, except that i have chem and calc right after each other 3 days a week, with 10 minutes to get from one to the other. I'll hopefully make a trip to ucsd sometime soon to find where all my classes are, and see if i can walk between chem and calc in 10 minutes.

The comment thing isnt working. I have no idea why. Hopefully it will be back up and running before too long.

Hmm, this is by far my shortest entry in my blog's short history. Oh well, as the great yoda once said "Size matters not".

Anyway . . .

I saw lilo and stitch today. It was a good movie. Definitely one of the best disney films in a while, with some genuine laughs in it. I'm still debating whether or not it was better than tarzan, which was the best disney film since the lion king.

Brock Lesnar is the new undisputed wwe champion, confirming the prediction i made yesterday. Blah hah hah. As you can see, my powers are much stronger than yours.

Well, i flipped through my yearbook last night, bringing back feelings of longing and remembrance. So, seeing as tomorrow is mt carmel's first day of school, i have decided to do another emotional reflection on the changes of life. Here goes.

I remember myself a year ago, about to begin my senior year of high school. I remember feeling trapped, being stuck in high school for one year more than i wanted. I remember saying "everything i wanted to do or have happen in high school happened my junior year. What more could happen in another year?". As school started way back in august, graduation felt so far away. Right over the horizon, but just out of reach. As the semester went on, i found that there were indeed many things i had not experienced the year before, great people i had yet to meet, and new ideas i hadnt yet learned. But still, i wanted nothing more than to graduate and move on to bigger and better things. Then something else happened. Through a mixture of fate and luck, i met someone who suddenly made everything worth it. All the things i had gone through in high school, all the sacrifices and successes, the failures and accomplishments, all were worth bringing emily into my life. Suddenly the stresses and problems of school were no longer the burdens that they once were. I had found the one person in the world who could make me wish high school could go on longer than it did. When graduation finally came, i was filled with a mixture of feelings. Happiness that the time to move on had finally come, and sadness at the fact that the many comforts i had grown attached to were about to be taken away. As summer began i tried to forget the inevitable future and concentrate on happiness, but time cannot be stopped by even the strongest optimism. When me and emily parted ways, i thought back to the happy times in high school. I didnt think about the insane homework assignments or crucial finals, but rather the bright points. I remembered being able to see all my friends on one day at one place, knowing that we would see each other again the next day, and not having to know that our time together was slowly fading away. I remembered being able to see emily everyday, being able to just reach out and hold her hand whenever i wanted to. I realized that high school had ended before i wanted it to. It had been a long year, but by the time i had found someone who made it worthwile, graduation had come. The only thing i can do now is cherish those memories. Cherish them, but not dwell on them, and rather look forward to the future and concentrate on the new direction life is taking. So, my advice to anyone about to begin another year of high school; dont spend too much time thinking about when the end will come, instead concentrate on making sure u experience everything u can in high school while u are there. You wont have that chance forever.

No more wuss debate! Me and vic have ended it. Phew. But the debate did demonstrate the awesome power of the comments feature. I must vow never to use this power for evil.

Tonight, Jon and George premiered their new movie. I didnt make it cuz i got to have fun vacuuming and doing 2 weeks worth of laundry, so after i was too lazy to go out at all. I'm sure ill get to see it soon though.

I chatted with kristina a little on aim today. She is the first person who has gone off to college that i have communicated with. Get online people! Bah!!

Today was boring. Ugh. This is the first time in a long time that i have actually been looking forward to the start of school.

I would like to take this moment to clear up 2 issues involving last night's drive on the dirt on hilltop park. First of all, it has been brought to my attention that jen stated the fact that u can drive onto the dirt, and i responded by saying that people went there for the 4th of july. Apparently, there is a big difference between that and what i said on my last update. So i hope u feel better now. The other thing involved my warnings to jen not to drive onto the dirt, which has resulted in me being referred to as a wuss. Normally, i will admit when i am being a wuss about something, but that was not the case last night. I warned jen not to drive onto the dirt because i wanted to avoid screwing up jen's car, or even worse, having some cop tell us that we were past hours and then call our parents, which would undoubtedly result in my being grounded for life. Of course, my warnings went unheeded (as did vic's advice) and jen ended up scratching the bottom of her car, not to mention almost running over a bunny. So there. I expect vic to be making comments on this moments after it is posted :P

Tomorrow, Brock Lesnar faces The Rock for the Undisputed Championship. Using my acute knowledge of world wrestling entertainment, i predict that Brock will win through interference or some other form of cheating. Check back tomorrow to find out the results.

Irony of the day: When me and em first started going out, Michelle Branch's latest single was "All You Wanted". About 1 and a half weeks ago, when emily left for houston, Michelle Branch's newly released single was "Goodbye to You". Sigh.

"Wise man say, Only Fools Rush In"

Today i went over to vics to play video games for a little. Then we all went to go watch xxx, which i liked a lot. Of course, i like mindless action films so of course i would have been satisfied. It was pretty much everything i expected; lots of explosions and lots of action. My kind of movie :P. Then we ate at rodrigos, just like old times, and played some pool after. So later, jen is driving us home when she gets the sudden and random urge to drive up to hilltop. For some strange reason i made the comment that people drive on the dirt area on the edge of the hill sometimes. Keep in mind that jen was driving at the time i said that. I dont know what i was thinking. Sigh. So of course jen drives up onto the dirt area, directly against my warnings. We avoided the really bad stones and holes, but jen kinda scraped the bottom of her car going over the sidewalk back onto the street. There was a loud noise and all of a sudden the glove compartment explodes in front of me. Sigh. So then we start going "i told u", "no u didnt", when a bunny runs across the street right in front of jen, who slams on the breaks, causing the glove compartment to explode in front of me again. Sigh. Thankfully, the rest of the ride home was relatively uneventful.

Mike's Advice: Trust your friends. For example, if a good friend were to say "dont drive onto the dirt", u shouldnt drive onto the dirt. It will be good for the friendship (and your car). Heh heh.

Jon's driving makes me dizzy. Always. I think its cuz he drives stick, which is always kinda rough. There was one time when he drove 4 of us over to fashion valley to see a movie. After, he said he was hungry but the rest of us wanted to keep walking around, so he wandered off alone. Later, we just happened to be walking near the parking lot, where we saw jon about to drive away, leaving us stranded in fashion valley. Thank goodness we stopped him in time.

I am listening to my celebrity cd. It is a great cd.

"I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I'm trying my best to be a man and be strong
I drove myself insane wishing i could touch your face
But the truth remains, you're
Gone"

Anyway . . .

I made a webpage today! Blah hah hah hah!! The force is strong with me. My site may seem simple, but i am still quite proud of it. There is much more work to be done on it, right now all it really has are 2 pictures and a link to this site. So expect much more in the coming days. There is a link to my site on the left side of this page under Cool Links.

So last night me, vic, and jen went over to jocelyn's place for a nice round of pool. Me and vic were partners, and were quite literally smoking. I believe we won all the games (except for one, in which we scratched on the break minutes after jen said that scratching on the break didnt count as a loss :P). Me and vic made some pretty incredible shots. How cool. Then we went to blockbuster to "quickly" get a movie. Of course, it took us about an hour to choose one. What else is new. We skipped over the sweetest thing, where the heart is, and home alone 2, and finally settled with the royal tenenbaums which has neither cameron diaz, natalie portman, nor the hilarious humor of men getting hit on the head with bricks. Oh well. We didnt watch it cuz we played video games first, then i decided to leave before my mom called me. This caused jen to leave as well, then vic. Whups.

Today, jon went back to magic mountain. He could be screaming expletives at this very moment.

Will told me about some philipino guys he was playing basketball with. They were pretty unfriendly guys who kept fouling him, and when he was about to kick this one guys butt he ran away. Reminds me of second semester p.e. sophmore year. Ugh. All those jerks i had to play basketball with. How horrible.

I miss u emily.

When we were at blockbuster, there was a moment when we were just standing around trying to figure out what to get, when jen casually reachs for some random movie. The title of the movie? The Wild Child. Go figure. How funny.

I was looking at raymond's website yesterday, it is pro. He has a page with his friends on it. Good thing im there. The picture of me is really funny though. The caption for the picture says "Yes, this is the best picture i have of him". I have no idea what i'm doing in it. Its almost as if raymond was sneaking up behind me, then i turned my head and looked to the side right when he took it. Hmm. Looks as if it were taken during set up for his haunted house. How interesting.

So last night, jen goes "Ooo! the moon!". So we go outside to look at the moon. How . . . uh, exciting. Apparently, there is a face in the moon. In my opinion, there is a face in the moon because u make yourself see a face in the moon. Kinda like seeing shapes in the clouds. They are there because u see them using your mind, if that makes sense. Hmm.

Quotable Mike: Much of what we see in life is there because we want to see it. Seeing these things gives us comfort and contentment. This does not always mean that we are disillusioned or blind to the truth, only that we choose how we want certain things to appear to us. If we want to see something as positive, we will think of it as positive. I call this optimism.

By the way, i cant really explain the purpose of these "Quotable Mikes". Theyre just there for me to let out my deep and profound introspective nature. Ha ha ha. Plus, it increases the chances of a president quoting me during his or her acceptance speech.

Nothing interesting has happened so far today.

HTML is quite interesting, and kinda fun. Reminds me of c++ back in freshman year when i made that pro tic tac toe program. I've been playing around with HTML and made a simple web page that i am actually quite proud of. Maybe i'll put it on angelfire or something sometime.

I said that me, vic, jen, and derek have funny chat room conversations, but me, vic, jen, and mel have weird chat room conversations. On occasion it bordered on gross, but hilarious nontheless.

The best comic since calvin and hobbes is zits. If u havent heard about it, its about a high school teenager. Thats why i can relate to it. Its really funny too. By the way, calvin and hobbes is seriously the greatest comic strip ever. The greatest. Everyone should read calvin and hobbes.

Raymond left for fullerton today. I didnt get to say bye. How sad. The last time we saw each other was the day we went to go watch signs and play pool. That was a fun day. Hmm. Hopefully we see each other around thanksgiving. I think sara left today too. She's going to ohio to attend franciscan university. Whats in ohio? Oh well. Sara is cool. So is her dad.

Jon goes back to six flags tomorrow. X will be open. We went almost 3 weeks ago. Wow, thats a long time ago. What a fun day. I have a great picture of me and jon on riddlers revenge. Jon is like "AUUUGHHHH!!!" and im like "i'm thinking of something funny instead of screaming and looking at the sky instead of looking down". I dunno what i was doing. I remember screaming rather loudly though. Jon, hopefully u put that picture on your site sometime.

Quotable Mike: Life is like a rollercoaster. It has its ups and downs, the fun parts are over too quickly, and its almost never what u expect it to be.

I added comments to Mike's Thought Cloud. Now u can tell me what u think about my random thoughts. Yay for randomness.

Anyway . . .

First of all, i had the weirdest dream last night / this morning. i think my mind has already tried to block out most of it, so i can only remember a little. But from what i remember, it was pretty much that me and all my good buddies were visiting some far away city and staying at a really big house, like jons. Then we did all sorts of odd stuff, like walking around this theme park and breaking into some guys house (sound familiar guys? dont answer that). We did a lot of other strange stuff, but i shall elect not to post it here, since my mom could possibly be reading this. And emily was in it too. Hmm. I'm still trying to figure out what the meaning of her presence is.

Washing reubens does not help me figure out what my purpose in life is.

Okay, so yesterday i watched jon eat 6 jack in the box tacos and a burger. Then, we picked up jen and headed over to derek's place, where vic showed up promptly. We drove around aimlessly trying to figure out what to do when we somehow ended up in front of the locked gate to poway lake. So we just sat there in the dark while i mentioned the possibility of gangs, cops, or guys running around with knives showing up. So vic puts the car in neutral and we try to turn around but get stuck. So me and jon get out and start pushing the car down the sloped hill. The car starts rolling down the hill at like 30 mph (maybe not, but thats what it felt like) and im like "Jon! stop pushing it!!". Then me and jon had to jump back into the car as it was moving. So i can now say that i have jumped into a car while it was in motion. How fun. Later we drove over to jon's mansion in RB, where chang also lives. We walked over to his house to see if he was there, but all we could see was the silhoutte of what was probably a book shelf. It was eerily quiet on that street. How spooky. Then vic, who was trying to see into the house and seriously looked as if he was trying to break in, noticed some woman on the other side of the street who was staring at him. So of course we all high tailed it out and went home. We all said bye to derek, who drives up to berkely today. How sad. Oh well, we will see each other again soon.

So today marks one week since me and emily said goodbye to each other. It seriously feels like so much longer ago. It feels like such a thing of the past when the two of us were able to just cuddle up next to each other, not worry about anything and just enjoy each others company while we watched something cheesy on TV. Wow. So how do i feel? Quite well actually. The truth is, i had about a month of time to prepare for the inevitable before the inevitable happened. So i have had much time to let go and move on. I still miss her, but not in the way i did while we were still together. Back then it was kinda like "when can i hold u again? i cant breathe without u . . ." etc. Now its more like "i miss what we had, but i am ready to move on". I have accepted the fact that emily is no longer the direct center of my life. I hope she has too. I havent spoken to her since a week ago, but she is a strong girl so i know she's doing fine. Sigh.

Here's a cool picture of us from the senior yearbook signing party. I have one of my almost trademark "why are u taking a picture of me?" looks. Thanks to chuck for taking it. http://words.mg2.org/userimages/shoutbox/poot/album/6-07-02/mike-emily.jpg

Quotable Mike: Never forget those special people who have given u happiness, because they have helped create a part of who u are.

Okay, so derek and jen get all excited about this bike ride through the canyon we planned for today. Derek was really looking forward to it, and of course jen wants to do everything, and i'm like "hmm, are u sure about this?". Well, jen finally showed up so we took our bikes over to a flat street to test them out. I do okay, considering i havent biked since like 5th grade. But then jen gets on and its too high for her. How funny. So we take the bikes back to dereks place and discuss whether or not we want to rent a bike for jen, but instead we give up and play mancala. Then jon calls and says he can do stuff later, so me and jen exit and let derek do some packing. Jon called and said he'd be ready to do stuff about 25 minutes ago from this posting. No word back yet.

So i saw the video for no doubt's latest single, "Underneath it all". I love the song, but the video is kinda weird, and downright freaky in some parts. Oh well. Thats a no doubt video for u.

A great classic movie is speed, starring keanu reeves and sandra bullock. i just got the special edition dvd. It is an awesome movie, and practically 3 movies in one. Their are 3 climaxes in the last half hour of the movie. And keanu reeves is really jumping from a jaguar to a bus at 50 mph. Coolness.

Speaking of speed, just about all my friends drive fast. The notable exception to this rule is raymond, who always drives below the speed limit. But everyone else likes to drive fast. I will elaborate: Derek drives fast on occasion. He often hits 40+ in a residential. He also once drove almost 100 on the freeway. Yikes. Jen: likes speed. Just her personality i guess. Always wanting excitement. I will not tell u how many stop signs we have almost driven straight through if it were not for me. Vic drives fast cuz he is a car guy. What do u expect, he's asian. Dont believe him when he tries to convince u otherwise. As for me, i consider myself a pretty mild driver. I usually drive only about 5-10 miles above the limit. I guess its cuz im a mild kinda guy. Yay for mildness. I see myself as a very go with the flow type person. Of course, sometimes the flow goes at 90 mph on the freeway.

Mike's advice: Go with the flow. That does not mean let life pass u by. Rather, dont fight what u cant change, and dont waste time worrying about whats not exactly the way u would like it. Focus on whats going well, and enjoy what u can when u can. Improve things, but be content with what u have and dont concentrate on what u dont have.

Today we are supposed to go biking. Unfortunately, jen has not yet arrived because she decided to be fashionably late for the third occasion in a row. But thats cool cuz now i get to hang out at dereks house before he leaves tomorrow. I am posting this from his computer. How cool. Anyway, we will be off to bike soon, so that should be lots of fun.

Quotable Mike: Love opens your eyes. Infatuation blinds you.

So Derek leaves tomorrow. How sad. Oh well. I guess i'm not too bummed about it cuz i know i will see him online a lot when he's not too busy doing college stuff. And i know i will he will be back before i know it. So yeah. Things should be fine.

Anyway . . .

Well, i'm having so much fun with blog i think ill go ahead and update for a third time on its first day. Wowza

Me, vic, jen, and derek have the funniest chats. Hee hee.

i just learned that melanie likes to watch the man show. How interesting. Mel is an interesting girl. Thats why i like her. The man show, by the way, contains lots of drinking, girls, and guys making immature idiots of themselves. Why arent i watching it?

Kokomo by the beach boys is a good song to relax to. So are many of elton john's old songs. Yes, elton john. So? Oh, and "That's Amore" by Dean Martin. Good stuff.

I feel kinda good. College starts so late. I get the feeling that i'm gonna get really bored by the time it starts. Ugh, hopefully blog keeps me semi occupied. i better see lots of people online too.

My wonderful friends are talking about going biking tomorrow. I havent biked in many years. fun fun fun. Hee hee, by the way, theres a funny story about chang i would like to share. So we're at la jolla beach playing with this funny looking frisbee when it gets stuck in the tree. So of course chang, being the problem solver he is ("the graphing calculator is my friend" go figure) decides to throw his shoe at it in an attempt to knock it down. And of course chang's shoe inevitably gets stuck in the tree. So he's left hopping around with one shoe as we all laugh at him. Haha. How funny. Chang's a funny guy. That's why i like him. He also has an interesting profile on aim. It has a whole bunch of random facts which i have gone through. Very interesting stuff, most of it.

Anyway

So anyway, life is kinda interesting at this point. Yesterday, i was at a going away party at sara's house. i didnt know many of the people there, but some cool mchs girls were there. So it was good to see some of those people again, especially since they're all going off to college soon and there's a good chance i will never see them again, or for a long time at least. It was good fun, as sara likes to say. Yeah, sara actually has goats and chickens in her backyard. She was picking up and throwing some of them. How funny.

So vic and jen were there too. Since this is one of my first posts, i will explain that vic and jen are 2 of my best friends througout high school. We are also known as ham, mustard, and cheese. Long story. So anyway, they were kinda depressed / sad with recent events that have complicated their lives. I felt bad. I hate it when my friends are sad, because then i get sad. I dont know the details of everything that happened, but i have a pretty good general idea, and it isnt pretty. Ugh. "Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?". Well, hopefully they either get happy, or tell me about things so i can be helpful.

Okay, back to my life. I called it interesting earlier, so youre probably interested in what im going to say. Well, college is on the not so distant horizon, and i have to say i am looking forward to it. I expect to meet lots of cool people and experience lots of interesting classes. Hopefully vic lets me hang out in his dorm, since i will be mr. commuter. He said he would, so i think he will. Hopefully my mom gets me a car. The car i drove through high school was an old ford aerostar nicknamed reubens because it was big and pale. It was a good friend, but im ready to have a car with a working radio, air con, window, shoulder harnesses, and gears that change (if that makes sense).

So thats college. As for the whole social thing, like i said, everyones going away soon. Big D Wu leaves tuesday. Sigh. He is a good friend, and lots of fun. I will truly miss him. Raymond leaves this week also. He always plans fun stuff. Sigh. Thank goodness jen doesnt leave till sep 6 and vic stays here in good old sunny san diego.

One person who didnt stay in san diego was emily. Triple sigh. I miss her. Things were so much simpler when we were together. And happier. Well, hopefully she is enjoying college in houston. I'm sure she will soon be making new friendships that will last the rest of her life. Yeah. Mike's Advice: the best way to avoid feeling sad because u miss someone is to distract yourself with happy things that distantly remind u of that person; that way u remember him/her in a happy way, but youre not totally focused on that person which would cause u to feel sad because u miss him/her.

Today, Mike's blogspot opened. Since this is my first entry, I wil begin by introducing myself. My name is Mike, and I was born, raised, and currently reside in San Diego, CA. That's enough about me.

Well, this site will mostly serve as a way of letting out my random thoughts. I figure now is a good time in my life to begin posting a "diary" online for the world to see. Why do you ask? Because this is a period of change. Change, change, and more change. Ugh, everything changes. Well, almost everything. Some things never change. But many do. Here's a list of random ramblings i had resulting from all this change. I expect to be quoted by someone in the not too distant future.

Many things in life haven't turned out the way I've planned. However, some of the best experiences of my life weren't planned for, and some were even planned against.

Home Alone 2 is one of the funnies movies ever.

"I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by"

This is the part in our journeys when our roads branch off in different directions. All we can do is cherish the memories, look forward to the future, and hope our paths cross again.

Everything in life depends on one thing: timing.

"I just want to hold you close
But so far
All I have are dreams of you"

Life is all about pushing yourself through the hard times in order to enjoy the happy ones.

The happy times are worth it.
