I am so blessed to have friends likes the ones I have. They are my sponges when the going gets rough. They always know what to say and what to do to always bring a smile to my face. Just the other day one of my close friend sent me a “Miss you” card. She’s only about 30 minutes away or even a phone call away but with our busy schedules with work, family life, married life, and just life in general, we seldom have the time to even see each other. These days we would consider ourselves lucky if we saw each other at least once in a year. It was a surprise to received the card after having a dreadful night. It’s just what I needed. It cheered me up and made me feel lucky that no matter what happens I have my friends always looking out for me no matter how far or near they are.

There’s a flash flood warning that’s in effect right now in the island of Oahu and Kauai. Kauai is pouring heavily, while here in Oahu is pretty calm actually. The strong winds that was felt 2 days ago has gone down. is this the calm before the storm?

Enjoyed a korean dinner today with my close friends that I haven’t seen in awhile. Laughing, chit-chatting, and food is always a great company anyday. Then hanged out at her place and enjoyed a wonderful, heartwarming movie called “The Other Sister”.  I recommend you checking it out. Well, have a great weekend everyone.=)

Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest, and it opens up your heart, and it means that someone can get inside you and messes you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. “It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love”
