You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it

— In my opinion, I think I have non-girly nails. My mom even told me that my brother has prettier nails than me.

— I don’t know majority of my relatives’ names. (Very sad…)

— I used to hate the color orange, but now am quite fond of the color.

— I am starting to be afraid of the dark. (This might just be because of the scary movie I watched the other day)

— In middle school, I sent a message via MySpace telling a guy I liked him on his birthday. That was embarrassing. (Oh, middle school days)

I had a wonderful time with the girls tonight! One of the girls had the bright idea of watching Sinister, ah! What I’ve learned is that I really can’t watch scary movies (yeah, such a girl..) I hide behind pillows whenever the music starts getting louder and louder. I think I’m going to sleep with the lights on tonight. Goodnight!

This day was a roller coaster. This morning I received a text from a close friend telling me she was scared. Her family had been waiting for test results today and they didn’t look so great. Later, I got a phone call from Nate’s mom telling me Nate was taken to the hospital and had to get an appendectomy. I don’t know how his mom was so composed when I burst into tears after hearing the news. After a few hours, I received a picture of his smiling face. That one picture made my day. I knew he was okay, that he was recovering, that everything will be okay.

It’s moments like this when you realize how precious every moment actually is. Cherish every second, minute, hour, and day you live and the people around you. One day, it’s going to be yours or their last day whether it is expected or unexpected.

Be grateful for the people you have in your life.

Home once again! I ended up spending the first 2 hours organizing my closet. Yeah, you know you have a problem when you forget you had some shirt or dress. Anyways, it’s good to be home (as always). The floral trees in our backyard finally bloomed and it looks so pretty! Just looking forward to a home-cooked meal, a nice shower with decent water pressure, and a good night rest in my own bed. mmm (: 

I had my first Quickly’s tonight. Honeydew slush, YUM. Melona in a cup. 

Saying goodbye never seems to get easier. Once I realize it’s going to be another long period of time till we see each other again, I break down. I know I have it better than a lot of other long-distant relationship couples, so I’m very thankful I was at least able to spend a couple days with him. Time to count down for 3 more months. <3
