Things to Consider

As we go through our lives, we weed out the ones who will remain our friends. Yes I am very selective with the people I trust, and I am very hard on those close to me. I expect a lot from myself, and expect the same from other people. If that is my downfall then so be it. If I have no friends in the end then that is fine, but at least I am right in my standards. I am not claiming to be wise or know everything, but I think getting out of high school has kind of given me a new outlook on life and certain things take too much energy so they are cut out of my life for good.

Here's to a new life, with new people, and new opportunities.

So I've been in the Philippines for a few days now.

This place is one word. HOME.

but one thing has been on my mind. I don't understand why I am so blessed,

I have the same blood running through my veins, the same heritage,

yet I am so privileged to have an amazing family, and a home.

The other day we went to Jollibee, and when we left, a little boy followed my aunt to our car.

Wanting some food. And my aunt gave him some candy.

That boy did nothing to deserve to live like that, I'm sure of it. I had to hold my tears in as they overflowed. That boy did not have to say a single word, and he possessed my heart in a matter of seconds. I wanted to trade lives with him. and give him the life he deserves. I am certain that I would die in a day, but it would be worth it, just so he would have a better life.

I can now truly see how much the Lord loves me, but if there is anyone so undeserving of that love, it is me. It's taken me 18 years, and a 21 hour flight to the Philippines to realize this, When i should have known it all along.

SHOUT OUT TO MY PARENTS: Thank you for loving me enough to send me away.

I start my mini mission soon here in the P.I. and I am so excited to get out and share.

See you on the Flip Side,

Things to Prepare for.

So the other day we bought suitcases for our trip to the P.I.!

Whooooo! I'd show you a picture but i don't have one. haha
Anyways, that's my step towards preparing for the Philippines.
I'm SOOOO excited!! whoooot!
it's going to be off the chain. haha

On another note. I saw Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Disappointing.
nuff said.

...So I just got home from Pirate Island...
I went Latin Dancing with Mariana Lopez!
and that was the first time i've ever been there!
and that place it awesome!! haha it looks so cool.
It's like an actual Pirate's Island. hahaha

See?? haha
Anyways story.

Well while sitting there. I met a person named Eric... i think haha. so He served his mission in the Philippines! whooo! haha cool and we danced and he was super good at dancing and I'm Asian so i'm not so good at the latin dancing but i'm decent. haha And i guess he didn't think i'm as young as i am. He's like old. well not like old but older. haha SO there's the end of the friendship. hahaha AWKWARD. haha it was a lot of fun. There were SOOO many people there! haha this person kicked my ankle. Although I'm pretty sure i know who it was cuz there was a girl there who does NOT like me (I have no idea why) but yea she was close to me when it happened... Suspicious? i think so. haha It was pretty fun :) and Question. Do all latino men/boys own the same cologne? Haha all the people there smelled the same? haha weird. and they smelt like other people i've known. maybe it's just me haha.

So Things to Prepare For:
The Philippines
Tests
College
Moving out
COLLEGE BALLROOM

Life moves really fast. People say my life is just starting. But it feels like the fun stuff is over. The parties, high school, the boys, and the games they constantly play. Haha I'm sure gonna miss it. But I heard the parties, school, boys and the games jus get more intense as you get older. haha but i don't like intense.
hahahah we'll see how my life unfolds aye? haha

See Uz on the Flip side,
