cherish the diamonds you have in your life, before they're gone.

i just recently found out that the father of this family friend that my family and i've known for years has cancer. he didn't even know that he had cancer until he went to the hospital for just a physical checkup. turns out that he was in his last stage of cancer and there's nothing that the doctors could do to help him. wow. how painful is that.
please keep him in your prayers.

it just made me reflect back on how grateful i am to still have both of my parents alive and healthy. i really don't know what i'd do with out them. like i've said before in my previous entries, i'm so so so grateful to have open and honest relationships with my parents. they're my diamonds.

an unforgettable night: my 21st bday.

summarize the 21.

So, it's gonna be my 21st birthday this sunday. its amazing how times flies by before you know it. It's weird, cus i've always thought that i'd be in a different place when i turn 21. but i'm not. not a bad thing, just different. i've experienced so much from all the years that has passed by. good lessons learned, mistakes turned into a big lesson learned in life, met inspiration people and experienced life experiences that i will forever cherish and remember.


most importantly, i can't even put in words of how much i'm grateful for the supportive, loving parents that i have. i recently shared a piece of information with my mom that i never thought i would ever tell her in a million years. it felt SO right and SO good telling her. we took our relationship to whole different level. now turning 21, i have nothing that i hide from my mom. i don't have anything that i hide from my mom about my past life that i had and the current present life i live. i'm really thankful that I can experience sucha bonding experience with someone that's in my life that i truly love.


friends. at this point in my life i feel like i really have found my true, true circle of friends. it's something that is so hard to have with so many backstabbers around. i love and cherish my friendships. fab-4 ladies to my supportive friends from accd. love them all. they're my gems.


on another note, i'm really stoked for this weekend. my birthday weekend!!! tomorrow, birthday dinner with my amazing family, drinking with my loved ones this saturday, bday dinner on sat, weds, and the following saturday. fun fun fun. this summer is gonna be even more amazing. cruise to alaska and my trip to new york. everything is going according to planned and i've been exposing myself to a better and healthier life style. and i'm lovin' every minute of it.

long time no write

love my fab-4 ladies.
