My Dearest Friend

   Not too long ago, my grandmother passed away. She was one of the only people that I really looked up to and kept my close memories with. My loved my grandmother so much, and I still cannot believe that she's gone. My grandmother has been sick for quite a while, around six months or so, and she has been in the hospital for a long time. She accidentally fell and developed an infection in her hip. It worsened over time and began damaging her body. She had then had a stroke, kidney failure, and many other problems that she had developed. I felt horrible for my grandmother, especially the hard times that she had faced. I am relieved for her that she has passed, because she has been suffering under life support for the longest time. I could not bare seeing her laid out on the bed. Its best that she rests in peace now. I love you Marian. Time will come, and I will see you.

On Dat Adventure!! ;]

Being on the track team, I have the benefit to keep a close relationship to my teammates. I really enjoy spending time with them and I really want them to know who I am, as well as a part of my background.  Some of my teammates live outside of California, so I really wanted to show them my hometown and the places around it. I took my friend Taylor, from New Jersey; Tevin, from NorCal; and Emma, from Finland. I found a weekend for which I could borrow my parents car for the weekend. The weekend I had the car, I took my friends several places. I first took them to a Bagel place in Beverly Hills, following a tour of the city. After seeing much of the rich and luxuries, We took a visit to the beach. We walked across the Santa Monica Pier and had a relaxing gaze out to the sea. After awhile, we became extremely Hungry, so we took of all the way to Old Town Pasadena. We sat in a common dinner, Johnny Rockets, and had a delicious meal. We then walked around for a bit and then took a visit at my very home by which we took a good two hour nap. It became late by then and had to head back, but we had such an amazing time. I wont forget this day, but it will come again soon. Another adventure will await! ;]

An Amazing Birthday

This past weekend was a fantastic weekend. My parents came over to my dorms for a visit, and after we went to go watch the women's volleyball game! Unfortunately the girls came to a close defeat, but it was a great came to watch anyways. After the game, I went back home to my family and friends! I spent the first day with my family, and spent the second day on a crazy adventure with my friends back home. It was amazing! I came back home Sunday night to get ready for practice on Veterans day. It was tough, but a good practice. I relaxed the rest of the day playing video games and went out to dinner with my family for my birthday. My birthday was the day after, but it was a great time to eat with the family again!

Halo 4

   Now, I used to be a huge gamer when I was younger. It all began when I bough an xbox and Halo 3. At that point, I had no life. I would stay at home and play hours and hours of video games. It was amazing, especially when I played with friends. Coming into my high school years, especially my senior year, I didn't have much of the time to play video games. I was busy with school work, college apps, and track.
    Now, Halo 4 is coming out. I am psyched about this game and can't wait to purchase it. It comes out Nov. 6, and have a pre- purchase on it. Once this game comes into this household, my life is done (once again).

Goodbye Pal

Going through my day of Halloween, I was ready to go out and enjoy myself. I either wanted to go trick-or-treating or kick back at a party. After I finished all my classes and worked my way through track practice, I began texting my friends to see what they wanted to do. During that time, my brother texted me. Now my brother usually doen't text me unless its important, so I opened up his message to see what it was he needed. He texted me, "Hiroshi died!" I though he was pulling a prank, it being halloween. I texted back, "No he didn't," and he replied with "Mommy called me and told me." I still couldn't believe what he was telling me. My good dog, only 7 years, dying?
   I called my mom to tell her about this "prank" my brother was trying to pull, but to what I couldn't believe, Hiroshi did die. This was devastating to me, and it tore me apart. I've been with Hiroshi since he was a pup, and now he's taken away from my life like that.
   I spent the rest of the day to myself. Thats all I needed for Halloween, was time for myself.
