Life Stands Still 1/26/09 - 1/30/09

Okay, I don't know where to start. This week has been so overwhelming for some reason. It could be because I went to practice Monday through Friday, 3-6 each day. Talk about a daily grind. Or, it could be that it is the first week of the 2nd semester. For some reason, teachers decided to mix up their teaching methods and lesson plans, so maybe I was thrown off a bit.

On the other hand, it could be because of today. Today, my dad's wife's brother's son called at around 7 pm. He sounded upset and asked to talk to my mom. Within an hour, my mom came to my room and told me that she had some bad news. My heart stopped. More bad news? Everytime I hear bad news from my mom, I associate it with a relative dying. I really did not want to hear another relative of mine dying. It has devasting enough when I found out that my grandfather died. However, I found out that my life died. My dad's wife's brother's son has been helping my family get a greencard for the past 16 years when my mother, my father, and I arrived in America in 1992. Through a mutual agreement, my dad's wife's brother's son agreed to sign papers to verify to the immigration department that my mom worked at his restaurant in Thousand Oaks as a "chef assistant".

A little background, there are many paths to get a green card. One - you can marry a citizen of the United States (probably the easiest way). Two - you can be a really successful entrepreneur and start your own business here in America. Three - you can be a reowned professor and agree to teach at a school in America. Four - you can work in America for a legal employer and tell your employer to vouch for you that you are a good, hard worker and should be given a greencard to make a living in America.

My mom chose option four. However, the immigration department has not given my mom her greencard for the past 16 years - insisting that her case was still pending. However, my mom obtained a "labor certificate" to show that she was working in America and that she was on track. Then, at the end of 2008, my mom and I received "Employment Authorization Cards" to give legal proof that my mom and I could legally work in the United States.

This was a godsend for me because this meant that I could apply for a driver's license. So I obtained my permit in the summer of 2008 and I waited until my 18th birthday (next tuesday) to get my driver's license. Also, my Employment Authorization Card was one step for me to show that I am a legal immigrant in the United States and that I am not illegal, and thus, I could show colleges, employment locations, and the immigration department that I was registered with the United States government and that I could work and make a living, legally.

Back to the bad news, my dad's wife's brother's son told my mom that the immigration department sent him a letter today saying that they entirely denied my mother's case. This means that, after 16 fucking years, they finally made up their mind to deny her case. This means that, no more employment authorization cards and NO HOPE AT ALL for my parents and I to obtain greencards.

My father's case was already denied 3 years ago, after 16 years also. They told him that his case was denied. He then went to Asylum where immigrants to America apply to seek "refuge" from their native countries. For example, when Chinese students protested against the Chinese government in Tiananmen square, those students who immigrated to America could apply for "Asylum" for the reason that they needed "refuge" from being prosecuted by the Chinese government. Thus, they would obtain greencards.

For my father, he was jailed by the communist party in the 1950-1960s for communicating with America at the time. Thus, he applied to Asylum because he was wrongly jailed by China and thus moved to America to seek refuge. However, he was supposed to apply for Asylum within 6 months when he first moved to America. He didn't apply. He didn't apply because he was offered a temporary green card because he was an entrepreneur and he opened his own helicopter company, Brantley. However, his company went bankrupt and he lost his chance at a greencard along with asylum. So, his case was finally closed and denied 3 years ago.

Now, where do I stand? I am turning 18 years old. I have lost my chance at obtaining my driver's license by getting my employment authorization card revoked because of my mom's case being denied. I cannot apply for financial aid because I do not have a greencard. Both of my parents do not work so they have to rely on interest rates to pay for our living expenses. Interest rates are at an all-time low of 1% due to the poor economy trying to motivate Americans to buy homes. My parents make less than $20,000 dollars a year now from $40,000 before this whole economic crisis.

College is coming up. College expenses are rising. I cannot apply to 99% of scholarships because I am not a citizen, permanent resident, and do not have a greencard. I cannot get grants because of the same reasons. I cannot get financial aid, despite my low-income, for the same reasons. UC Tuition is about $25,000 per year. That means my parents and I have to foot that bill, without any financial aid. Fuck my life. I don't understand why I am in this predicament. Have I done something wrong in my life? Have I wronged someone? Is God angry with me?

Right now, my life has hit rock bottom. My mom told me that she does not want me to stay here anymore. There is no reason, if you think about it. I cannot work, college is too expensive, I cannot drive or live independently, legally or financially. It is the worst for my parents because they have lived in the United States for almost 17 years now and they have not done anything wrong. They have not commited a crime and they have only supported my sister and I through school. And now, they get a decision from the immigration department, that their case is fucking closed? FUCK YOU AMERICA.

Honestly, there is nothing to do except to take this complicated and frustrating situation into my own hands, now that I am turning 18. I have to make the decision. Do I stay here and suffer immensely? Do I move to Uruguay, where I was born and where I can live life as an actual citizen with some fucking rights? Do I move back to China with my parents and go to college there? Is my life here in America over? I have been struggling with this notion for my entire life. At any point, I can say, "that is it." and move away from Rowland Heights, from America. Nothing is working.

Honestly, what do I do? My parents cannot afford college here. Nor do I want to go to Mt. Sac, which is more financially affordable, after taking honors since elementary school. But, UC and private college education is too costly for my situation. The only reason people can afford UC and private college education is because of, part-time jobs, grants, scholarships, and financial aid. GUESS WHAT? I can't get any of those. FML.

So what do I do? Is there a point anymore? Do I give up right now? Do I pretend that everything is alright when obviously it isn't? So much for a HAPPY 18th birthday. I will celebrate inheriting this immigration mess from my parents. I will celebrate living in America, going to college, having no job, having no help from the government - in a time when help is needed most. What am I doing? Where do I stand? AND I FUCKING SWEAR, YOU BITCHES OUT THERE, DON'T LOOK AT THIS AS AMUSING. BECAUSE, GOD HELP YOU THAT YOU DON'T GET AN OUNCE OF WHAT I HAVE TO GO THROUGH DAY BY DAY.

It makes my blood boil when people disrespect or mistreat me. Not only is it a direct insult to why I'm even here in America, but it is purely inhumane. Honestly, if you people want to act immaturely and disrespect me, I have no problem, just leaving. I don't deserve that. I don't take that. God will vouch for me that I am working for a hard-working and honest life. Don't slow me down if that is not your goal or purpose in life. Don't influence me if you people want to just live with sin. Honestly, I see you people. You people constantly disrespect and take everything for granted, thinking that the whole world revolves around you. Guess what, I am your living proof that life isn't dainty and that life isn't all about you. I forgive you people for your imperfections, I just wish you would at least realize and open your eyes that some people in this world, like me, suffer enough to be disrespected like that.

This blog is aimless. I don't know where I am going. I am spiraling out of control. What is the point of school anymore? What is the point of swimming anymore? What is the point of college anymore? How can I fight through obstacles when you have stripped me of all of my dignity and weapons? How do I go on without hope?

Honestly, right now, I don't want to hear, "it will be okay" or "don't worry, something will pull through". I don't even want to hear anything. I want to see concrete, solid hope. I want to see a scholarship, I want to see hope. I want a greencard. I want a job. I want a chance at life. This isn't fair.

Happy Chinese New Year 2009!


Well guys, it is officially the year of the ox :). Too bad it will not be the year of the horse until I am 24 years old. Anyways, I shall recap on this week's events :).

Before I do, I want to post this note that I posted on facebook just right now.

"Before this whole economy-spiraling-down-hil
l thing started, I thought, "Wow, this is kind of cool! I've never been in an economic depression before. I've only read about these things in textbooks about a momentous FDR president raising a nation out of the pits of hell". So, naive me, took the ride of a lifetime. I toyed with the notion of running out of money to spend on food and leisure items like video games.

Then, I watched the stock market go down MOSTLY EVERYDAY. You know it was funny at first. Seeing news anchors say how the DOW and NASDAQ has gone down however many points again for the however many day in a row. It was quite funny to me.

Then, going to the supermarket started to be a pain when I couldn't get my favorite ham or my favorite brand of chips because it was too expensive. When the economy starts effing with my food, then that is when I get mad. Going to the Asian Market today, I found out that roasted duck is now $20 at T.S. Emporium. WTF? Before this whole depression started, roasted duck was $10 and it has been going up $2 every week. Now it has doubled. Although my parents can still afford to buy duck, I am sure there are families who are feeling the crunch in their wallets. NOW, what happens when food is too expensive for EVERYONE to afford? Do we starve as a nation?

Then, it was quite amusing seeing corporate giants like Freddy and Fannie Mac go bankrupt along with WaMu and other banks. Then, Circuit City announces bankruptcy along with Mervyn's, which got a little scarier. At the same time, China is laughing its ass off at us because they have replaced us on the global economy. NOW WHO IS GETTING THE GREEN CARDS TO WHERE?!

Now, the depression is affecting me on a more personal level. My birthday is coming up and yet I feel restricted to my options. Birthday party? Maybe not. Going out to eat with friends? Don't count on it.

College admissions? Limited. Bright future? Not anymore."

Monday - No School due to MLK day. I just hung out with Susan and tried to study for my java final.

Tuesday - JAVA AND YEARBOOK FINAL. It was also OBAMAS INAUGURATION DAY. So I got to watch Obama's inauguration speech and oath in java class. Then I got to see his speech and oath throughout the entire day in all of my classes and at home. Although I only watched it on tv, the whole spectacle was pretty momentous though. I got a C on my java final and then played halo with Michael, George, and Gi Su after. Yearbook Final was okay. Mrs. Weber showed The Princess Diaries while I worked on layouts. Too bad I couldn't get much done because of my staff. Practice 3-5 due to finals.

Wednesday - PHYSICS AND COLLEGE ALGEBRA FINAL. Physics final was okay. Apparently, I got a C average on the final and my grade stayed at a 88%. I hope Houghton rounds and curves it. College Algebra final was a waste of time. I tried to finish first just because I was bored. I fell asleep on my backpack after the final for an hour. Practice 3-5 due to finals.

Thursday - AP GOV AND AP ENGLISH FINAL. Basically, these were my hardest finals because they were both mock AP tests. All in all, I survived the finals and hopefully I did well on them. After school, I had a yearbook work day where I inputted and worked on my layouts. Jeff and Preston were missing good mod pictures and content, again, so I couldn't entirely finish my layouts.

Friday - DISNEYLAND! I went to Disneyland with Jules, Franceska, and Susan because of band's parade. This was my 3rd time going to Disneyland, but it was really fun nonetheless. It was really cold and rainy though so when we went on California Screamin`. That was really crazy because all of the rain water was flying into my face and hair. It was painful too because my face was hitting the rain drops at probably 50 mph. After the ride, my entire sweater was soaked and my hair was dripping wet. My face hurt like heck too. It was to the point where I couldn't even open my eyes because there was so much water on it. After we dried off, we went to Disneyland where we rode Indiana Jones. Then Susan and Franceska went to get ready for the parade. I passed out on the benches and then went to Tower of Terror with Jules and rode it for the first time. After Jules and I walked along side the band during the parade, we went to Toy Story and I got 167,000 :). Then, we all ate at Rainforest Cafe where I used a coupon for a free appetizer. SCORE! We were pretty much pooped after that and we saw everyone leaving Disneyland for some reason so I guess there was no fireworks. We just decided to go home after that and I got home at around 10 that night.

Saturday - Basically, I stayed home and did nothing. I played warcraft 3 and went to the Thrift store on Holt in Chino. It was a very chill day.

Sunday - I chilled at home until around 2. Then, Susan, Franceska, Jules, and I went to a free bridal show. Susan and Franceska tried to surprise us with the bridal show but I saw the sign when we were entering Royal Vista Golf Course. Anyways, after that we went to the Puente Hills Mall where Susan bought a necklace and earrings for formal. After they dropped me off at home, I went to Macys at the Puente Hills Mall to buy a tie that matched Susan's dress. Then I ate Shrimp dumplings and duck for dinner. Then I received $100 from my mom for Chinese New Year :).

Week of January 12-16

Hey all! Well I have a slight fever right now, but that cannot stop me from blogspot :). Anyways, I took a nap earlier when I got home, but it did not do much. It just left me in a surreal mood because I'm not used to losing part of my day to sleep. Anyways, my head hurts and I feel dizzy, but hopefully I will get better.

I watched Hancock after I woke up. That movie is so ridiculously random and bad. It got pretty depressing with the whole "end-of-the-world" thing. Anyways, I got depressed, so what do you do when you get depressed? Go get social online :).

I don't like how I missed practice because I was sick, but I think it was for the best. I feel pretty lonely right now because my mom and sister went to the Walnut Library for some snow event and Susan is at practice :(. Plus, I have a headache right now.

Well let's try to recap on this week.

Monday - it was a late start so Jeff and I went to the Hong Kong Supermarket to buy you tiao and soy drinks. I saw Susan at school and we just shared my you tiao and I gave her egg omelet :). There was complications about random rumors about me and Susan, but hopefully people are nice and don't spread random rumors. HONESTLY, I think if a person has an ounce of dignity and respect for others, they will abstain from spreading rumors. It is just messed up. SERIOUSLY, sometimes people just need to keep their mouth shut or at least be a man about things and confront others about it than being sly and spreading rumors. KARMA will get you.

I went to practice 3-6 after that.

Tuesday - Basically a repeat of monday. The same old daily grind. School then practice 3-6.

Wednesday - Yay! I FINALLY bought formal tickets for me and Susan. NOW, it is official that we will go :). Winter formal should be interesting, with the whole science exbihits open and stuff. I will have fun regardless as long as Susan is there<3.

Thursday - THE CHAOS BEGINS. I had to study for 3 tests this day (Computer Science, English, and Physics). I got out of practice 1 hour early so that I could study.

Friday - Well as I mentioned before, I was not feeling so hot because I had a big headache and I had the sniffles. Plus, I felt like I was getting a fever. It didn't help that I had 3 tests today.

Computer Science - Initially, I got a 56 on the chapter 4 test, but today, I retook the test and I got a 84. Thank goodness. That partially made my day. 2 more to go!

Physics - The test was pretty hard, either that or the sickness was getting to me. I was stumped on the first problem and I think I got from a A to a B. Depends. I know I didn't do my best on that test though. Boo :(. I hope I am able to still maintain my border-line A.

English - This partially ruined my day because of Elizabeth Bishop's "The Map". The poem itself was really random, plus Ms. Tan's class was making a bunch of noise because they had presentations. Blah. Anyways, I came about (with what I thought was a valid interpretation) of the struggle of nature and civilization and how society constantly seeks to explore and dominate nature. WRONG. I guess the real theme was about how man is unable to fully capture the true beauty of nature. Well that was a FAIL. There goes my A. Let's hope that I can get a good final grade.

I am praying for a miracle next week. Even though I'm a senior this year, I still want to do good in my classes; both because competitive colleges like Pomona and Berkeley might be watching my grades this year and I just don't like being a failure.

Well, tomorrow is Susan and I's 49 Monthiversary, meaning our first month after our 4 years. Time really flies, but I'm really happy that I have Susan as my loving girlfriend. HONESTLY, she is really an angel sent from heaven. She is truly a blessing and I am always reminded everyday of how blessed I am to have her in my life. I am grateful that I found my soul mate so early in my life. I thank God everyday for blessing me so<3.

First Week Back from Break


Well this break has been very chaotic, crazy yet satisfying good :). Let me just recap on what happened this week.

I am very proud of myself because I went to practice for 5 days in a row, 3 hours each day, except on Thursday. It hurt a lot, but I feel accomplished. I feel stronger and I feel that :55 time on my 100yd butterfly within my grasp. I want that 1st place medal at League Finals and I want to whoop some butt and take some names at CIF. I want colleges to say, "DAMN, I WANT THAT GUY ON MY TEAM" :). Hey, a boy can dream, can't he?

Anyways, the definite highlight of my week would have to be on Friday when I asked Susan to winter formal. Basically, I prepared and planned for the whole week. Actually, my planning started during winter break, but I didn't actually start until this week. My planning process went from making t-shirts and writing S-U-S-A-N on them and going on the stage with my friends and asking her. Scratch that off the list.

Then there was my plan to show her a video during yearbook. Scratch that too. My ultimate plan was to write her a fake poem about love, by Elizabeth Bishop since we were studying her poetry during this week as well. Then, the poem was about bleeding love. Here is the poem.

From my temporary bleeding love,
out comes a desperate plead, one plead
rushing against time. Time comes fast.
Manage to catch my bleeding love, all I need

A bleak boy stands his ground outside while
love stands still in his heart, waiting.
Joy is at the tip of a needle, teetering
She is the only one who can patch his bleeding heart

Anyways, if you look closely, you will notice that the first letters on each line spells out FORMAL JS. Too bad Susan did not notice that :P. Then, after the video, I showed a video where I lip-synced Leona Lewis's Bleeding Love song. Then, I dressed up in a suit and tie and walked in with a bouquet of roses. I said, "Hi Susan. Will you patch up my bleeding heart by going to formal with me?"

Then, Cliff Ahn raised a poster that said, "Will you". Marc and Daniel raised a poster that said, "Go to". Then, Ivy Li raised a poster and said, "Winter Formal" and I said, "With me?". Then, Susan gave me a hug and said, "Yes" :).

I loved it because she loved it<33. style="font-weight: bold;">Saturday
Today, I woke up and beat Order Up! for wii. OMGOSH, I love that game. That is BY FAR, my favorite game on the wii. WHAT A FANTASTIC GAME :). I operated a Burger restaurant, a Mexican one, an Italian one, and a New York style one. Then I went to Iron-Chef-style competition and beat some Japanese dude. YEAH!

After that, I ate and cooked food, ironically. Then, I played some flash games and finished the FASFA in less than 1 hour.

To be honest, I was very angry/disappointed/and distraught when Marc told me he couldn't hang out today due to yearbook stuff he had to do. So my "Fallout 3-Pizza Hut-Hangout @ Daniel's house" was terminated. Then, I called Brendan to hang out, but Wayne wasn't even home, so my "Hangout @ Wayne's to Kill aliens" was terminated as well. GRAWR AT YOU GUYS >:O.

Then, I went to the library and got the 2nd book of Twilight (don't ask me why) and Watchman comic book. Then, I went to the Rowland Heights park to teach my sister how to ride a bike. FAIL :(. Oh well, it was worth a try. Then, my mom, my sister, and I went home. When I got home, I spent a good 1 hour and a half trying to install DVD codecs and players onto my computer. FAIL. Then, I watched the Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, which I already watched. I found this out at the end of the movie, smart huh? GOSH. Well now i'm going to sleep. I will try to blog tomorrow. `Til then y'all.

School has started! Run for the hills!

Yep, school has started and that means much less time to do ANYTHING! Honestly, I don't know if I can blog everyday, but I will blog on every weekend to recap on each week. That is a promise to you BLOGSPOT :).

Basically, this post is to inform my two followers and myself that I will not blog everyday and I will blog on weekends to recap on my week and on the weekend :).

Let me just put it into perspective what my daily schedule looks like.
7-3 school
3-6 swim practice
6-11 or 12 homework time

Anyways, that is my schedule pretty much everyday. I will say that I will try my VERY BEST to not get lazy on my schoolwork and contract senioritis. I PLEDGE to you Blogspot and my followers :)!

Btw, I love you Susan :). I promise that I will try my best not to be cranky and in a bad mood. I will try not to offend you with my bad jokes and not to say or do mean things to you. Let's make this a HAPPY new year :). Only a couple more months and we are home free<33.
Anyways, this is Johnson, signing out until the weekend :)

A Farewell to Winter Break 2008-2009 :(


This winter break was definitely not too shabby.

I had lots of fun for the first week of winter break, because it was very productive, the way I like it :). The key highlights of the first week of winter break would have to be Susan and I's 4th anniversary where we went to Macaroni Grill and Disneyland. Then there was Jeff's 18th birthday party where we watched the Lakers lose :(, then there was the yearbook party where we all played hide and seek, ate food, then played cranium, where I was the star actor :). Then there was Diya's party where there was lots of yummy BBQ food, but Susan was not there :(.

The 2nd week of winter break was quite the opposite because it was the week of Christmas. Christmas Eve and day was nice though, although I would have liked it better if my family decided to go somewhere outside of Rowland Heights. We ate at Asia Buffet, which was a plus because we all got to FINALLY go out to eat after like a whole year of not eating out as a family. Then, the rest of the week was a mixture of practices, random hangouts, and futile attempts at doing homework.

The 3rd week of winter break was a mixture of both productiveness and unproductiveness. The beginning of the week was frustrating because I was trying to cram in last minute hangouts, which did not work. I'm glad that we went out to Souplantation, Benihana, and Guppy's! Then there was when we hung out at the mall, and a Rough Ryder sleepover last night.

About the sleepover
The sleepover was pretty chill. Marc and Daniel picked me up @ around 8 and they played Fallout 3 (marc on his laptop and daniel on his ps3) while I surfed the web until 11. Then I talked to Susan on the phone until around 1ish. Daniel was talking to Aileen until then too. Then we played SSBB until 2 and then we took a "Food Run" to Daniel's kitchen for some late night cereal feast until 3. Then Daniel and Marc played Super Mario Galaxy until 4. Then somewhere between 4-6, we just played Fallout 3 and surfed the web again. Just being bums is part of the creed, I suppose. We slept around 6 and I woke up somewhere around 1 in the afternoon. I don't actually count waking up at 1 as "sleeping in" because we slept at 6 so it is more like getting my regular sleep on. Anyways, it was a pretty chill and traditional sleepover.

Today (January 4, 2008)
Not much happened today aside from a random trip to Wal-mart to pick up pictures and a trip to Stater Bros to pick up grocerries. Other than that, I just sat at home and mooped around. It is astonishing how time flies when you just moop around at home. Not exactly one of my most productive days, but I "attempted" to study for physics and other stuff.

I tried to take care of Susan today because she started :(. Poor babe.

Anyways, I will miss these things about break
-waking up at 10. Seriously, it is the best feeling ever because my body does not feel like I got hit by a car each morning.
-spending time with Susan. Obviously, this is THEE number 1 thing that I will miss this break. I had such memorable and meaningful times with you Susan<3. All of our memories are soo great :). We finally got to have intended formal dinner dates this break too (Macaroni Grill and Benihana), and they were both very very very nice and memorable. From our humble junior high days to our senior year in high school, spending time with you has always been very memorable and sentimental in many ways. You still give me those jittery, butterflies, warm, fuzzy feelings whenever you are with me. You still make me laugh and smile the biggest :). You still make my heart melt and you make my soul smile. Our memories are what make us up and what started us. Armed with both cameras, we are SO ready to document our memories now :). I cannot express how much I love you Susan. You always keep me smiling with your genuine and loving personality. On top of that, you are GORGEOUS and BEAUTIFUL beyond comparison. That is definitely a plus, but don't take me as shallow :). Calling what we have as LOVE is definitely an understatement, I call it DESTINY or ETERNAL ATTACHMENT. Although, those names are very dramatic sounding, you get what I am trying to get at :). Well we have been a couple for officially 4 years now babe. And you know what? I've never been happier for the past 4 years. These 4 years have been a blessing. Everyday that I am with you, I am grateful for being blessed for having you in my life. Without you, I cannot imagine being the same person I am today. I can only thank you for being my BIGGEST supporter and for MOTIVATING me to get past life's obstacles. You keep me going hun. And so, winter break has been very memorable and life-changing, but, like how we are always moving forward, I don't expect the memories to stop rolling in<33.

New Years Day! 2009!


Today was pretty productive and eventful :)
-got out of bed at 9:45, when I actually woke up at probably around 8
-watched the Rose Parade with my mom
-played soul caliber on the wii
-ate some tiger roll for breakfast
-went on the computer and browsed until 11
-went to T.S. Emporium to buy duck, pig, and other Chinese foods
-ate lunch with my mom, lame dad and sister went to watch tv in the living room. I swear, I'm the only person in my family that actually eats at the table. I feel so American. I want that family that eats around the table, bonds, and talks about their day. Instead, my sister goes to the garage and watches tv. My dad goes into the living room and watches news on the big screen, and my mom goes to the other living room and watches her Chinese soap operas while I am the only person sitting at the table eating :(. Well, I wanted a family picture on New Years, but I guess not.
-watched the Rose Bowl game USC vs. Penn State. This was one of the few times that I actually sat down and watched a football on television. Actually, this was one of the few times that I actually watched television, period. Anyways, it was a good game and USC totally dominated Penn State. Good job USC :)
-went to Guppy's with Wayne, Kyle, and Susan @ 4
-ordered the Guppy's special and shared it with Susan. Gosh, two days eating out with my lovely girlfriend? What more could I ask for? Thanks for making these past 2 days very special ones babe<3
-went to Michaels, but they were closed so we went to Target to look for Wayne's wooden picture frame.
-took Susan home and then hung out at Wayne's house with Kyle and played Call of Duty 5 and Halo 3
-went home @ 9
-went on the computer, finished my Guppy's strawberry shaved ice, uploaded pictures, played a flash game, and now I am blogging :)

I had a pretty good day overall. The highlights of my day would have to be, the Rose Bowl game and Guppy's :). I had a great time just hanging out with my hunny. Seriously, food and love are all that I need in life<33. Thanks hunny for giving me a great time on New Years Eve and New Years<33. I can't thank you enough :). I hope the good times will keep rolling in.
