Chapter 3: So I tell myself

"I just need some time alone before I'm ready to come back home"

I don't think I will ever finish that blog I made for Brian, and even making this one is hard because today Crystal, Rolly, Mary and Eldrin left Delano. w/e I said I wouldn't cry or be sad for you guys cause I wanted you guys to experience something new and live life, but I never expected it to be so hard to say 'SEE YOU LATER'. Because even though its not a goodbye, its still a long ways until I actually get to see you guys, like I can't just come over and say what're we doing tonight? or call Crystal and say things like "are you going to our "Other house"", "the boys are over at my house, are they going to yours later?", " want me to buy you sno fun before i come over?" and Ell, you better come play tennis with me at 5am when I call you, and you better not throw away those post it notes, cause sticking those on your car always made me laugh. Thank you for all your advice Rolly, I always tried to follow what you say and not try so hard to fit in, and Mary hanging out with you was always so funny, summer 06, i'll never forget that.

..just those small little memories keep me going cause I know i'll see you guys, you're not dead obviously, its just that you're so far away and I wish that I could've spent a little more time with you, I was just so bummed out I didn't want anybody to see me really cause i hate giving other people that same feeling of being sad. Idk, but seriously thank you for everything guys, for giving me the best summer ever
yes, 2008 was the best year I've lived so far and no I'm not kidding


Good luck with everything, I love you guys and Take care


btw,
"and everytime I close my eyes, I thank the lord that I've got you and you've got me too"

Post Scriptum:
this blog isn't complete either, for the same reason as the last one

Chapter 2: I smile when I'm sad

Aww, Brian . I wish you luck and hope you have a safe flight/stay in Illinois. I'm sure that Graduation day will come sooner than we all think.

For now, I'm gonna have to leave this blog like this, I can't handle thinking about the fact everyone's leaving already, and Beau you're leaving like tomorrow, wow and Candace too.

..ok so all of you have, you've made me laugh, you've made me smile, you've gotten me through some really rough times but most importantly you've made me cry, because crying is the only way I can show you guys how much you really mean to me; thank you for sticking by my side and for understanding me even when you never understood what was going on.

Chapter 1: Departure

August is officially the month that a lot of close people are gonna begin to leave this small town of Delano. A small town filled with amazing people that feed off of the raw energy that comes from this place we all have come to realize brought us all together.

• August 19, 2008: Claudia leaves back to the United Kingdom

• August 21, 2008: Brian leaves to the Navy

• August 22, 2008: Candice leaves to Brigham Young University
• Beau leaves to the University of Arizona
  

• August 24, 2008: Rolly,Crystal and Mary leave to Las Vegas

• August 25, 2008: Justin leaves to the Air Force

And you know what? I can honestly say that I'll miss all their laughs, their wonderful stories and just their presence in general until we see each other again. But for the rest of us who leave in September, lets make our last official month here a good one.

Anyways enough of the pouting around about August, I'm just extremely grateful I met you guys and I truly do not know who I would be or where I would end up if you guys weren't there to support me and keep me going. =)

Lets take it from the beginning of the week

Monday: went to Ryan's house and watched the others; stopped by starbucks; went back to Ryan's and finished the movie
Tuesday: saw 3 shooting stars; and made 2 wishes; talked to LeeAnn on the phone
Wednesday: Told Brian and Justin what my two wishes were and talked to them on the phone
Friday: Watched Mirrors with Bree,her fam and my triplet; then went to Candices and scared Steven, went outside and drank pixie stix courtesy of Brian then went to go get my beautiful board
Saturday: Went to Brian's house and played the 'Touch Game'.. let out some long awaited feelings and tears were out and about; played the opposite of the 'Touch Game' with a funny interpretation, all I can say is 'whats yo' flava?'. Then the infamous fishbowl game, thats always fun, STUPID Beau and that PINK COWBOY HAT!.. hahah Jeff picked up me and Justin, then stopped by Bev's, kinda didn't go well sorry bout that so we left; looked at Jeff's engine and the magical screwdriver fixed the car that wouldn't start; then back to Brian's for more chit chat/hanging out
Sunday: 'Good Morning!'s...Went to Ryan's, Rachma and Stephanie Gines, sayyy whaa??..Claudia Hyphy's myspace, hahaha.. watched 'Sydney White' AKA Brittany Black..Awww Dopey's the best..went to Taco bell and had some more bonding moments there, found out Justin and I could read each others minds, i mean it should've been obvious.. Claudia can't count hahahha when she's telling us how many years in high school they have in the UK, LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE?..i got so confused, hahah Thanks for coloring in my board guys! you're awesome, haha and thanks justin for helping out a lot with that board, its coming along soo nicely.

Shout out to Breehie for the rides

This past week was so much fun, major kudos to everyone who has made it that fun..it all started after I told Brittany "We haven't hung out all summer, lets start"..aww Brian don't worry about studying too much, I'm sure you'll do fine, I believe in you, i mean going to the Navy was practically set for you right? I think you have some sort of knowledge about it by now,..Justin I hope you find a job; thanks Ryan for being a 'Winner!' hahahha...oh and I'm glad we have been hanging out, cause its been a BLAST!. most definitely!<333

Post Scriptum:
"I'm trying to pull your shorts down so I can put my knee there"- Justin to Jeff

[x]Not laugh when I get tickled
[x]Draw something new
[x]Talk to someone idk at UCI
[ ]Slow down time

Ok, so maybe I haven't quite done all the things on that list that I hoped for, but this is one extremely memorable summer, I think its the first summer that I know of that so many people are moving away, as in reallyyyy moving away, out of Delano. Its kind of weird, I mean the one year when all of my friends are leaving is the one year I'm supposed to be super excited to meet new friends; I'm still dealing with this situation. But I know I'll get used to it one day. But seriously, why are so many people, including those who graduated before the c/o 2008 choosing to leave now?...Maybe we're trendsetters. HAH, maybe not

But anyways, this is the first year where i've had to go to sooo many parties, but not the strictly lets have fun parties, its more of a, lets have fun, cause the next time you'll see me might be in a year or two or maybe a couple of months, how sad riight?.. well I get sad sometimes just thinking about it. Like Yesterday, at Brian's Birthday party, btw, he's leaving on the 21st.. it was only the beginning of the many going away parties that i'll try to attend; Today was Beau's but being that I went out last night and my parents are strict on me going out, I couldn't go to his, so sorry about that.. Then next friday is Candace's and the Saturday in the following week will be Justin Delarmente's.. and after that, there are so many others...Well, I guess I'll be bringing my drawing board around with mee everywhere, It'll be fun though.

Post Scriptum:
I have a lot on my mind right now.

Here's a story for the Kids

this blog was LAME

Post Scriptum:
Thanks _ _ _ _ _ for responding =)

See you in September!

"We fly high, No lie you know this...PRADO!!"
wow, I can't even begin to explain how amazing SPOP 6 was, all the people I met and all of the events we went through. OMG it blows my mind. hahaha
That was like the sickessstttt/doppessst/illlessttt experience ever!
so this is how it went down:
When we got there it was like the normal Welcome to UCI, blah blah blah, sign up for classes,met Rhea, and found out she knows mae/earvin and i met her brother Ryan before, but when we all went to go eat lunch, it was like BAM! "Hi, whaatss up guys?, I'm Theresa.. like Mother Theresa!" and it all went UPhill from there. Theresa was dummy crazy, she's so cute and awesome and funny and random. wow i love her, and then came John Kim, "a.k.a. Theresa's BOYFRIEND!" hahaha. What a sweet and funny guy and you totally can't help but smile when he smiles, lol he has like that charm about him. Oh and after I met those two staffers I met some really awesome people from my house that were sitting close by and we moved to go meet some new people due to Ilyssa's eagerness to get out and meet people. I then met JESUS (geee zus) a.k.a Jmoneyyyyy..haha he's soo freaking hilarious, and dorky, like omg, i couldn't stop laughing when he was around. P.S. I got asked this question from the fishbowl game: "which staffer would you hook up with?".. LMAO I said Jesus..so random, but he has this like boyish charm, its soo cute. hahaha then there's Nick Cheung, he's sooo funny and like makes the most random facial expressions, ahhh I Loved it, hahaha, and Charlottee aww, she popped out of nowhere all the time, I hope she does that when I'm at UCI, and 103! represent! ahha riight Diana?.. your smile always lit up the room, like seriously, and Stephanie!.. wow such an awesome dancer, forreal. Too bad you graduated already, I'm sure that i'll see you someday though!
then we all went to a group gathering and afterwards we all got to check into our halls, played some mad fun games and had the times of our lives, we got to know each other/introductions etc. and goshh it was like non stop laughing, I think they added like 20 more years to my life with all that laughter.
After the chit chat and kind of unpacking, we got to go have dinner, lines weren't as bad, and I sat with Mory,John Kim, Rhea, etc. that was really fun, seriously John is soo funny, we all go to know each other, then we headed back to PRADO, cause "oh oh you wish you were in prado" and partied in our PRADODISE. hahaha
god, i love those people, please keep us safe and together (yes that was a side note). Oh and we played some games, Wooosh with a little flashmob or w/e, suspension bridge, I was drowned, prison riot, etc.
Afterwards we all went on a group outting to CHA and on our way there JMoneyyy told us the 'BALLERINA" story about the girl who hung herself in our hall a while back. I got a Mango Cooler w/e Pearls at Cha and some random guys kept on looking at me like they knew me, came up to me and was like wsssupp? hahahaha
chit chatted with a couple of people sat with Mory and Katherine, which was Uber uber fun, wow, i can't believe i have so much to say, I didn't even want to go to UCI in teh beginning, but now, I don't think there's a better school out there for me.
Anyways when we got back, played or did or w/e CROSS the LINE it was interesting, then they told us we had another option of going out, so most of us did, I think, and we went to the top of a parking structure and played some major cool games, Prado was the best of course, and we started dancing but there wasn't enough NOISE POLLUTION so we took it to the floor underneath so that two parking lots stacked on each other and there was a huge echo, which was awesome, we danced and danced and danced and then we played some games, Nick was in front of me, Mory in back of me and Jesus/John in the front leading all of us everywhere, my asthma kicked in, but i held on, like a trooper ahhaha.
We headed back around 1 something, and they told us to shower and if we wanted to stay awake we could do a mixer with BRISA! so I took my 5 minute shower, threw on clothes while walking back to my room, hope nobody saw me, hahaha.. then we headed to the living room w/e its called and they told us to get PILLOW CASES?? like wtheck, were we gonna get kidnapped?, at this point i was freaking out, hhahah but so stoked i didn't even care. We all headed to brisa, and we met people we haven't met before, blah blahh, then they gave us numbers, I was in group 2! out of the 5 established, and they gave each group a name, we were the starfish, then they turned off the lights and told us to put the pillowcases over our heads, WOW how scared was I that this was some type of initiation, but again, i was too stoked to care so i went through, hahahha...then they said with the name of the animal you were given, make the sound that animal makes and find your group, WTH? a STARFISH??hahahha we totally didn't find our group, but it didn't matter, we were crawling on all fours on the ground trying to find each other, then they turned on the lights gave us rooms and we had to come up with skits, I thought outs were funny, and I liked them, yay group BIG BOOTY!, haha, did my splits, etc.
we headed back to our Party in PRADODISE around 4 am and we played the fishbowl game, I got another question that was "Who would you rate a 10 in this room?".. I chose Alex, he's so awesome.
Then we turned off the lights, told ghost stories and it was around 4:45 am when I noticed that there were people in our window, i said "whos in the window?" nobody listened those people banged on the windows and scared everyone but me, of course cause i saw them, and all the screams woke up everyone in Prado, ahha oh well, then everyone gathered all their sleeping gear, we layed down, it was around 5:30 now and kyle was to the right of me, Theresa next to him and Jmoney on top of where my head was at, it formed a spiral (idk how else to explain it, ask me about it hahaha).. and i asked what was 'up there' jesus said thats where they keep all the dead bodies, i was like shut up cause you knowww, the ballerina story, etc. and then we all tried to go to sleep for the one point five hours and i woke up around 8:24, i think i was one of the last ones to wake up along with Theresa, Charlotte, and Jesus, the Staffers, yeah i was the only spopper left, hahaha, its cool though, I didn't trip. Nadya locked me out of the room though, haha, so i had to wait, thanks to UNO she kicked it with me til my roomie got back. Then we all headed to our plenary, and did our group cheer.
Of course PRADO REPRESENTED well, i think the others were jealous we got so close together and were always so enthusiastic, we rocked, f'shoo!.. haha well after all that, we had lunch, workshops, etc. then the most Awesome TALENT SHOW EVAAAA, go watch my youtube video, for that, haha..
Afterwards we headed back to our halls, to say goodbye and check out, but before all that we went up stairs and 'touched one another' yeahh, i'll admit it, I got teary eyed, I'm so glad i went through that, it was so exhilarating and uplifting and wow id' go through that experience again and again if i could, I wish I could, but maybe in the FALL, we'll see. we said goodbye, and the Party in Pradodise was over.

I've got to admit it though, UCI is an amazing school, with the most hilarious and loveable people ever, I am soo excited to go there in September, I hope we all keep in touch, cause that was one experience that seriously went straight to the top of my list of best experiences ever!

POST SCRIPTUM:
yeah this was kind of long, wordy, and not even all the things that happened are in here
but I got my point across that SPOP6 was helllaaa DOPE!
thanks for EVERYTHING! <3333
