WHAT I'M THANKFUL FOR.

For starters, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! ^,^

I woke up feeling good today. I sent text messages to all my best friends, including my best cuzzo, saying why I'm thankful for them. (= I can't wait for dinner tonight with the family, so til then I'll write short "thank you's" to the people I'm thankful for the most.

My family, my everything. These are the people in life who've seen me transform the most from my spoiled childhood days, through my 'act-out' teenage years, til my almost-graduating-going-out-into-the-real-world self now. I'm thankful for them supporting me my whole life, making sure I have a roof over my head, clothes on my back, food in my mouth, and money for me to spend. Even when I had a job, my parents paid for practically everything. I've learned that no matter who you gain or lose in life, you're family will ALWAYS be there for you, through every mistake you make in life. They're the only people who will NEVER judge you for WHO YOU ARE. Family comes first, always.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. With that being said, I believe we meet the people we do in life not because we want to, but because we're supposed to.

Michelle-Lei, my other half. How do I even begin to explain our 8 years of friendship into one paragraph? If I've learned one thing with her, it's that we can't explain our entire friendship into one sentence ;] I'm thankful for god allowing this friendship to even be possible. That I can have a decent friendship without the lies, the betrayal, and the he said, she said bullshit. For as long as I've known her, we haven't fought once. And that's what I love about her most. She's my other half not only because she's a girl, but because she's interested in everything I'm not, but at the same time we're exactly the same. I know that no matter where life takes us, I know that she's always be there at the end of the road.

Marinelle Marie, my outspoken best friend. I remember like it was just yesterday, being in homeroom together. I wouldn't be the blunt person I am today if it weren't for her. Through all the drama back in intermediate, I wouldn't have survived through all the deep shit without her and the rest of the izzles by my side! Although we've had our 'issues' back in sophomore year, we've learned to overcome those silly ol' games and look passed that. I'm thankful for re-kindled friendships, because everyone deserves a second chance.

Paula Mae, my rooftop sitter. I remember frosh orientation, when I accidentally made a mistake writing her reciept for frosh dues! I'm thankful for her transferring over to Campbell, because if not I wouldn't have an over-achiever-good-naughty-girl best friend like her. She's my idol of why I go to school everyday ;] Whenever I'm having a bad day, she's there to help cheer me up. Cause that's just the kind of person she is, she's a smart girl with a big heart and wise words to come up with it.

Michelle Ea, the other Michelle. Just like Paula, I'm thankful for her transferring over to Campbell. We were never close until junior year. But I'm thankful for every drunk or sober thing we've ever done together. Like that one time at the twin's hotel party when we got ____, and then we got _____, and then we ended up _________! Good times, good times. But most of all, when I was having a mental break down that one time at dance, you were the one who sat down with me and talked me through everything. Oh, and then took me home afterwards. (=

Mallory & Mashwelle, my MSquared. I'm thankful to have worked at BR, because if I haven't I wouldn't have met you two. Even though we live our different lives now, we always seem to find time for each other. We've been through a lot this year, and I'm glad to have shared that with you two. Despite my age difference, you two made sacrifices and founds things to do around it since
I'm not legal yet ;P And I love you guys for that!

Kassey, Jenny, & Jessica. I know we spent all summer together, and totally drifted once senior year took place. But I'm glad we're finally spending more time together again. I'm thankful for every ride I've ever gotten from you guys. You guys never leave anyone behind, cause that's just the kind of people you are. Kassey, I'm thankful that this year is a drama-free year for you. Jenny, I'm thankful for your baby and I'm honored to be an uncle. Jessica, I'm thankful that somehow I always end up as your date for date night.

Esther Claire, Christine, & Lisa. Esther, I'm thankful for our dancing talent and because of it, we're compatible to work as dance partners. Christine, I'm thankful for your 'uniqueness' and you never fail to make me laugh with everything you say. Lisa, I'm thankful for your 'blonde' moments and to be friends with someone as caring as yourself.

Jonathan Michael Viloria Inigio, my BFFN. I'm thankful to have joined dance team this year and met someone like you who is as sarcastic as me. I know it's hard being friends with someone like me, especially since people talk, but I'm glad you set that aside just to be my friend. Through all the jokes, and secrets, and shit talking, I'm thankful to have shared all of that with you. You really are the best friend anyone can ask for.

RJay & Roosevelt, my 'R' boys. I'm thankful to have guy friends like you, who see past all the judgement and treat me no different than any other guy friend. Whenever I have boy issues with a certain someone, you two always take the time to listen to what I have to say. You two are different in many ways, but you two care just the same.

Katarina, my homey. The most down-to-earth girl I have ever met. She's the reason I got through frosh year. I'm thankful for our friendship because even if we don't spend as much time together anymore like before, I know I can still count on her. And because she's the only person I know who wouldn't mind going all the way to town just to kickback.

ABCJay. You four are truly a few of the greatest people I could ever meet. Even though we aren't all close anymore, we always have moments where we're all at the same place at the same time. 2007 was one of the most memorable years because of you four. I cherish all those nights we ate out to Genki, watched movies, parties at my house ;], etc.

Dear reader, I am thankful that you take the time to read about my daily bullshit life story. (=
