testimonial

i came across this as i was going through my stuff. it was a testimonial that kenneth had written about me on 9/10/03:

there are many words to describe susan. i can't just use one so i'll write a long testimonial to get my point across. first of all she will always be the person that will be there when there is no one else to turn to. though susan is very popular she would hang out with anyone. she sees everyone as equals. she is very nice to you even when you had been a major jackass, just as long as you apologize and tell her how special you think she really is. there will always be a time when you could approve susan's life. when you find that special thing, you should really do your best to brighten up her day. tell her how you really feel. for me, i would say that she is one of the few people i hope to be friends forever because she is a nearly perfect pal. when you meet her you will knoe what i mean. for me i knoe that i have been blessed with susan's friendship. i'm not a big believer in religion, but however i think that the creator sent susan down to earth to make sure we dun have our head in our a$$. susan's like my guardian angel. no matter how far she is, i'll knoe she'll be looking from afar and wishing the best things for me. that is why i think 10 weeks, 10 years, and 1000 years we will still be friends and listen to each other's silly stories and sad dramas.

here's one that t.g. had written that same day:

haha, daymz, iono even where to begin. susan is the person out of ALL my friends whom i've known the longest and still KIT w/. haha, remember mrs. fujii's class? lol, i remember you wearing this really fobby red azn dress :P Yup, and also us goin thru that math book or watever all fast the first day, and she told us to stop cuz we were goin too fast for the class. so long ago. like u said, a decade. tch, longer than a decade now. let's add a few more :) so sweet, honest, loyal, trustworthy,... almost like all the virtues wrapped up all in one. she's one of those ppl i can and will tell anything to. so yea, all you guys, don't go breaking her heart (heh, that's if she don't break urs first), or else ull haveta answer to me (lol, cuz thats scary), *cracks knuckles*. anyway sly, take carez and continue to stay in touch, or else (cracks knuckles again) :)

now from camille on 9/7/03:

WHOO HOOO! I'm the first testimonial!!! What can I say about my favorite daughter? Well, lemme start off by teling all of you how incredible this person is! I've never told her before but she has always inspired me in many ways. She has certainly gone through a lot for her age but even with all that, she was able to cope through the many different circumstances as well as changes in her life.... At the same time, Susanalso has the brains of Einstein!... sooo damn SMART and resourceful! She would always help me with just about everything!!!...Actually, she's the onle person, I know, that would put up with me even when I'd get soo annoying asking her about the same question over and over again!... That's right, she has sooo much patience (one of the things I greatly admire about her)... Besides that, Susan is one of the very few friends that I can be my crazy self with, which I think is one of the most important elements of a friendship (comfortability)...

reading these just made my day and put a smile on my face.

PO-TA-TO -- Ladies' surprise trip for the boys

8/15/09



so it all started on aug. 10th... jeannie wanted to plan something, so it became a surprise from us to jerry and emmanuell. i gave my babe a clue - potato. friday night during dinner:

me: so when we get to the destination, we'll need to sign something.
E: are we signing a waiver? (pause) are we bungee jumping?!?
me: (silence) what??
E: honey, ARE we bungee jumping?!? honey!!!
me: would i do something like that to you??
E: (without hesitation) YES.

hahaha. so came saturday morning. we woke up before 6am, showered, packed, and got ready. the first destination required that he be blindfolded. once we arrived to the first destination, i started to punch in the keypad to open the gate. shortly after that failed attempt to successfully open the gate, he asks "are we at jerry's?". BOOO, the keypad gave it away. i gave the OK for him to remove the blindfold. after we picked them up, we made a quick run to mcdonald's and headed to the next destination. after the 70+ miles, we arrived to our destination - the ventura harbor. that's when they realized where we were going and what we were doing - a hike in channel islands national park. we were going on a 5 mile potato harbor hike. when we arrived to the santa cruz island, we ate, took pics, and went on our hike. when we got to the overlook, our jaws dropped as we gazed at the beauty of the view. it was absolutely gorgeous and stunning. my babe wasn't pleased that i climbed on the edge of the cliff, heh, he wouldn't leave my side. we completed the hike w/ plenty of time to spare before our 4pm boat ride back. after climbing rocks to take pics, we got back to the boat and arrived back to ventura around 5. next destination - camarillo outlets! we bought hiking shoes (my first pair!) and clothes from BR. i can't wait to wear them! afterwards, we headed to van nuys to end the day w/ dinner. pho = yummmm. heh, the guys said that now it's their turn to plan a surprise for us. after dropping jeannie and jerry off, we headed home. soo glad that my babe enjoyed the whole day!

new step? BIG step!

it's been a while since my last post. to sum up all the big things...

i met my babe's parents and relatives. i must say the timing was unexpected, and it was a lot to take on. however, i believe i did well w/ the family and passed w/ flying colors. heh, my babe said it went way better than he had imagined (i think he was very impressed w/ how well i did). =) i've been called as the "fiancee", "wife", and "daughter-in-law". heh, his family is now waiting for invitations. even w/ the circumstances and w/ everything that had happened during the trip, coming out of it made things about us feel stronger... more solid. it made us realize all the obstacles and challenges we have overcome and yet we still make each other smile. it made us feel more sure about what we want - each other. perhaps his family waiting for invitations is added pressure, heh. from these experiences, we decided to move foward and take a big step and move in together. i unpacked my first two boxes over the wkend. the first box consisted of picture frames and small decorations. the picture frames that we put up matched very well w/ his entertainment center. [heh, i told a friend that and she said "it was meant to be".] he said that seeing those additions to the apartment made it feel more right. i agree. =)

i'm looking forward to seeing how the wkend goes, particularly on sat. boy will he be surprised w/ what's been planned! excitement! =D
