Limo Fun

Today, me and a few friends celebrated my birthday (wednesday of this week) by taking a Hummer 20 passenger limousine to Monterey Bay 17 mile and back. It was a rush since the morning because I had to pick my friend Brooke up from school and I had to pick up my other friend Zelly from her house. So I left my house at around 9:20, got to the starbucks in Saratoga Downtown at 9:30, and got to Zelly's house at around 9:40-9:45 (yes, I was excessively speeding like always, that's how I got to her house so fast). So after I picked both of them up, I sped back to my house and got back before 10:00, knowing that I still had 10 minutes to spare. Then something bad happened. My best friend Austin told my mom to call his mom because something had happened. In the mean time, my mom told me to bring both Brooke and Zelly to chill at the Safeway near my house and get some food to eat. We spent a good 20 minutes there in total then afterwards rushed back to my house because the limo had just gotten to the house. So we went back, I was surprised at how big it was (abnormally larger than a regular sized limousine) when I saw it in front of my house. So then probably about 10-15 minutes passed, Austin finally got to my house, and we were on our way to Monterey Bay. Nothing fun quite happened until we got onto the highway. We started blasting music and all three of them were just...uh(thinking)...crazy. Knowing me, I was just sitting there, silent the whole time watching them be crazy (i'm not the crazy kind if you were to know me at all). So we were pretty much just blasting music and singing along to it the whole way there. When we entered Monterey, we spent about 10 minutes trying to find somewhere to sit down and eat. We walked up and down the street once and found a few recognizable fast food restaurants but we decided with good old Round Table Pizza. We went in, ordered our food, sat down, and started eating. Lunch took about half an hour and after that, we headed over to Walgreens which wasn't too far from us (it was at most, a block away). We went to Walgreens, bought some drinks and left the place in 10 minutes. We then called the driver and told him to pick us up to go to 17 mile drive. The 17 mile drive was just amazing, and we got extremely lucky too. Most of the time, Monterey Bay is covered with fog and cloudy skies but today, to our luck, it was clear skies and sunny. We were originally planning to stop at 4 points but due to the amount of time we had, we only stopped at 2. The first one was Cypress point, and the second one was Ghost Trees. The main attraction at Cypress Point was a huge rock with a TON of sea otters and pelicans. There was no main object at Ghost Trees but the thing was there were a lot of dead trees with a bunch of branches and no leaves, but it had an amazing view of the bay and trees on either side of the vista point.

Trees, rocks, and a bit of ocean on the bottom left

More of the rocks and the ocean on the left, less of the tree


So after we had a good chance to look at the view from Ghost Trees, it was time we head back to Saratoga. So...when we were on our way back, most of us were tired by then, and Austin and Brooke head to the back of the limo to a secluded area where they pulled a curtain and secluded themselves from the rest of the car. That left me and Zelly, but Zelly was tired so she decided to take a nap. Me, having nothing to do and feeling a bit awkward, I took out my phone and earphones and started listening to music. After about four songs or so, I decided to play tap tap but for some strange reason, my phone was not sensing my finger touches so I kept on missing the notes even though I WAS touching the notes at the right timing. I ended up rage quitting (yes, I rage quit out of games, no big deal) and just sat there. While I was sitting there, I looked at Zelly a few times and saw that something was wrong. The sun was in her eyes and I knew that if she woke up with the sun in her eyes, it just wouldn't be pleasant. So I sat there for 10 minutes not knowing what to do. But then for some weird reason, I thought of using all the jackets/sweaters/sweatshirts that I brought (in case Austin felt that it was cold at Monterey), put them all on the windows, then rip the plastic bags we got from Walgreens, and tie the sleeves together to make a somewhat successful window curtain so that way the sun wouldn't be shining in her eyes when she woke up. So I spent about a good 10 minutes or so to do it because I tied the sleeves together but they were still falling down, so I ended up tying the tied up sleeves to the speakers so they wouldn't fall. In addition to that, I placed 2 water bottles each underneath the clothing so that way they would get elevation to completely block out the sun except for a few small holes.

wasn't perfect or anything but covered most of the sun

After that entire thing was done, Austin suddenly came out from the curtains, froze, looked at the windows, and complimented me on it. Coincidentally, right as he said that, one of them fell and I got pissed. After I put it back up, he complimented me even further and I just told him 'I just think that if she wakes up with the sun in her eyes, it'll be unpleasant.' So then after he went back, I told Brooke it was the most I could do, and she told me that it was a clever thing to do. To be honest, I didn't even think of doing that until...idk what sparked my brain on it. I just thought of putting up my clothing against the windows, I didn't know what got me to put the plastic bags to good use because it almost worked. Anyways, after that, we were pretty much 20 minutes away from Valley Fair (we changed the location on the way back) and she woke up. She didn't notice the 'curtains' which I was actually sort of thankful for because I didn't want her to know that I put it up. Pretty much the rest was a blast. They ended up rolling down the windows and wave at the cars driving past us, I ended up recording some cars driving past us with my phone out the window which was pretty insane to do. When we got to valley fair, I'll just say straight up it was hell. We ended up blocking traffic that was making a left turn into the plaza.

If there was one memory that I would remember from this trip...it would be...actually nevermind I'm not going to say it xP.

The Benefits of learning Manual Transmission

After having driven a manual transmission car for at least five months, doing a lot of researching about modding cars, and doing research on why it IS important to learn how to drive manual transmission (not saying that you have to, just a few tips of advice), these are my thoughts on why you should learn how to drive 'stick shift' (manual transmission for short, for those of you who don't know) car.

1). Just in case you are buying your first car and you don't want to spend too much on it and you still have some money left over to fix it up a bit, over 50% of cars from before the year 2000 are stick shift.
This is also why all the generations before us (our parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc) all know how to drive manual transmission (especially China, Taiwan, those Asian countries). All the cars in the past in Taiwan and China were all manual transmission cars. For example, when I was researching for cars before I got my own mustang, I searched on Yahoo! Autos and most, if not all, the cars from 1999/2000 and before were stick shift. The thing is...depending on the car, those cars from 2000 or before cost $1000, $2000, $3000 at the most and some of them are even cheaper, just depends on where the car is being sold from.

2). If you learn how to drive a stick shift car, you know how to drive any car you see on the streets.
Believe it or not, when I got my permit, my mom told me to learn how to drive stick shift because then when I go back to Taiwan, I can drive my uncle's car. Guess what my reaction to that was? 'NO, I DON'T WANT to drive stick shift. I HATE stick shift.' I got mad at my mom for still pushing me to learn how to drive stick shift, but now? I am GLAD that she forced me to drive stick shift, because it's just pure 100% fun. After the six hours of driving with an Allied driving instructor in a stick shift vehicle, it had been one whole year since I drove a stick shift car. By the time I was driving alone with my mom's Lexus, I was itching to go back to driving stick shift. My mom had even warned me that stick shift will be twice or even more as tiring and all the cons about it (especially in rush hour traffic and bumper-to-bumper traffic) but I didn't care. All I wanted was to drive a stick shift car. Just the feeling of being able to drive both a stick shift and an automatic is awesome. I taught my friend how to drive stick shift and she learned it in half the amount of time it took me to fully learn how to drive stick shift (although I still have a few flaws such as downshifting and making the car jolt when upshifting and downshifting). I was even surprised she was interested in learning stick shift but there's no cons to that. The reason why I wanted to teach her was because first, me, myself, I LOVE driving. Second, it's the reason above listed right beside the number. Pretty soon, she'll be able to drive my car on the streets, and that's exactly what I hope will happen.

3). One of the most important reasons for me, personally, is that stick shift cars are actually at least half a second faster than automatic cars, if you're shifting right
I don't remember which source I got it from, but it's been proven that if the car was modded correctly and everything was in good shape and you were to take it onto a drag strip and race it against another car who either has similar specs or a bit lower/the same car with different mods and is automatic transmission, the car that's stick shift will take the lead. Why is that? It's simple. Now I never quite realized this until I transferred over from my mom's lexus and drove the mustang for a while. With an automatic, you cannot control how fast you can get to in each gear because the automatic transmission shifts gears for you when it thinks it's the right time to shift gears. But with a stick shift on the other hand, since you control the shifting of the gears, you can control what speed you get to in each gear. Take for example, if I were to drive my mom's lexus, I would be in fourth gear by the time I hit 40 mph. With the mustang, If I were to take each gear up to at least 3000 RPM, I would be past 40 mph. If I remember correctly, all stock engine/body parts, at third gear 3000 RPM, I would be at at least 50-60 mph. But then if I were to shift at around 2000-2500 RPM on the mustang in each gear, I would get to 40 mph in fourth gear.

5). Better fuel economy and can save up on gas
Now, for myself, I don't feel as if I did save up any gas on my own mustang because it is a sports car after all and me driving a sports car, it basically means to floor it so instead of saving up on gas, I actually waste more, but that's not the case with all the stick shift cars here. I still cannot figure out why it is but people have said that you do save more gas driving a stick shift than driving an automatic. It might also be because with stick shift, you can shift whenever u want (for instance, u can shift each gear at 1000-1500 RPMS when with an automatic, it's already set at a specific shift point depending on how much u pressure the gas pedal). But that's just a guess, I still have to do a bit more research on it.

4). This is one of my favorite reasons. If none of your family members knows how to drive stick shift (I'm the only one who knows how to drive stick shift in my family, my dad does not live with me anymore), then the car is all yours, unless they ask you to teach them.
Me, knowing how to drive stick shift AND automatic, I can drive both my mom's car and my own car. My mom? she's got a license, she can drive, but she can't drive my car. Why? Because she does not know how to drive stick shift. There is no other simpler way of saying it. At least my mom learned how to start up the car in the morning because it's just freezing cold in the morning and since my car is somewhat old with leather seats, the inside of the car is FREEZING in the mornings.

The reason why I wanted to teach my friend how to drive stick shift was because like I mentioned above, as long as she knows how to drive stick shift and can manage to drive it perfectly on the road without stalling the engine (everyone stalls the engine when they first start out with stick shift, even I did. I stalled the engine more than she did because I had no idea how it worked), she can drive any car she wants regardless of if it is stick shift or automatic. In case she, like me, had to get a car that's not new and was stick shift, she wouldn't have a headache about how to drive it. This was the same reason (well part of the reason) my mom wanted me to learn how to drive stick shift. At first she was against me driving stick shift too, but then one day I overheard her talking to one of her friends, the reason why she let me continue on to drive stick shift is because in the future, if I got my own car, it might be just like this mustang. Meaning, it might be stick shift also, not automatic. But...I won't have a headache about it because I know how to drive a stick shift. This was the point my mom was trying to get to. So in the end, I really would thank my mom for forcing me to learn stick shift because if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be driving...a stick shift mustang right now which I highly prize.

Last Few Hours of Being a 17 Year Old?

So..what exactly am I doing during my last few hours of being a 17 year old guy?
Here's my answer: I am...
1). Working on my psychology project that is due tomorrow, which is 50 points and I am not even halfway through yet.
2). I am semi-YouTube surfing videos of people drifting in the game Need For Speed: Most Wanted
3). Frustrated at the fact that I also have chemistry homework to do but the Psychology project will most likely take all of tonight even if I WASN'T YouTube surfing videos.

I know that whatever I'm about to say next has NOTHING to do with the title, but so far my three friends who I hang out with right now and my mom have asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I told them I did not want anything specific. The ONLY things I wanted was just to get my car fixed, perhaps a mod or two, and something else (no one will be able to guess what it is, except maybe someone...),that's it.

The Things About My Car

So...I am very glad that I happen to own a mustang but...there's some problems with it, and not minor problems. MAJOR problems.

1. Gears grind
When out driving (sometimes, during the morning at around 8-9:00), when I'm driving in first gear and want to shift into second gear, I step in on the clutch and try shifting into second, but guess what? It WON'T go into second. As soon as you put the shifter down where second gear is supposed to go, it gets stuck and even when u want to force it to go into second gear, it stays there. Not ONLY does it stay there, it also makes this grinding sound (this has happened twice to second gear). I haven't even gotten to third gear yet, and believe me, third gear is the major pain in the ass. Sometimes, even when the engine is warmed up to normal temperatures, when the car is, say up to around...3000-3500 RPM, I shift up into third gear, but the same DAMN thing happens. This has also happened more than twice. The only one explanation I can think of for these two problems is because the gear synchronization is messed up, so I will need to replace it IF I don't want the gears to grind when I'm driving (trust me, when the gears grind, it just makes the driving part completely un-smooth (idc if that's not a word, I'm just going to use it).
Engine Part to be fixed?
Gear Synchronization

2. Engine makes continuous squeaking sounds when in first gear (or now, it's even when i'm driving on the road...)
So when I'm driving, say in a parking lot, I'm in first gear to start with. So I coast along in first gear. Now, if you have the windows open, you will hear this sound coming out from underneath the car but the thing is I just CAN'T figure out where it's coming from/where the problem is. So then, when I shift into second gear from first gear, it does the same thing. i don't know why that is, when I first got the car it didn't make that sound, and I know I haven't been treating the car badly at all (except when I'm speeding, but that's only to the clutch as far as i'm concerned, because I do speed shifting).
Engine Part to be fixed?
Transmission

3. Cigarette Burner Fuse
I have to get this fixed because what if I needed to charge my phone or I needed to use some sort of portable GPS? I can't. Why? Because my damn cigarette fuse is not functioning -___-. I tried plugging in this electronic device but it didn't work on my car, so I asked my good friend Austin to try it on his car. Within seconds of him having the device plugged into the fuse, and turning on the ignition, the device turns on and starts working. Even better for me (not).
Interior Car part to be fixed?

4. The Clutch
I don't even need to explain this one at all, all because of one good reason. If the clutch doesn't work, then you can't even operate the car. All you can do once your clutch dies out on you is just turning on the car and leaving it for show. The only way how you can operate the car is if you know where the exact shift points are for each gear in the car so that you can do a clutchless shift (but I think, based on a bit of research that I did, shifting without the clutch actually does damage the engine). I'll admit that I was a bit rough on the clutch (when I raced some people) from doing speed shifting (but that's what you have to do if you want to get faster acceleration) but I guess that's why people don't race with stock clutches (they always get performance clutches, i'm a dumbass -____-). I have dumped the clutch a few times (from doing burnouts) but not enough times to completely ruin the clutch. I don't know what the previous owner of the car did to it but I"m pretty damn sure that that person did more to the clutch than I ever did (got that car when it had 133K miles, idk about now).
Car Part that needs to be fixed/replaced?
The Clutch

5. Timing Belt
This one doesn't need much explaining either. When I got the car, it already showed signs of it having cracks. It's simple. If the timing belt breaks, you won't even be able to get the car to move. It'll just be sitting there for show.
Engine part that needs to be replaced?
Engine Timing Belt

6. Brakes
Every day, when I drive this car, I feel as if...the car cannot really come to a stop unless you REALLY put pressure on the brakes, but then it sends the whole gravitational force forward and it just doesn't feel good. Also, the brakes have worn out so it makes that screeching sound, which hurts peoples' ears too.
Car Part needing to be replaced?
Brake Pads

7. Handbrake (A.K.A e-brake)
One day, in the morning, at 8:00 A.M., I found my car parked in the middle of the court where my house is. When I saw that THAT had happened, I was shocked. I sprinted back into my house, grabbed the keys, and again sprinted to my car to quickly drive it up my driveway and re-park it. When I got into the car, I checked on the handbrake. Weird thing is, the handbrake was pulled up, so I have no idea how the hell the car ended up sliding down from my driveway and onto the street.
Car Part needing to be checked?
Handbrake

Now I'll talk about the possible mods I would like to install on this car IF I do decide that I want to mod the car.
1. Short Shifter
I want to install a short shifter because of the way how the stock shifter was designed. I gotta say, it was designed horribly. You put a cup in the cupholder nearest to the shifter? Whenever I shift into second gear, or TRY to shift into second OR fourth gear, the shifter ALWAYS hits the cup. It's annoying and it is a HUGE hassle to deal with. With the short shifter, I can shift at shorter distances, which most probably would mean the possibility of completely dodging the cup, but maybe not. Even if it didn't, it would be easier trying to shift than the regular stock shifter.

2. Lower Gear Ratios
I'm looking installing at 3.73 gears because the higher gears I can possibly install in my car, the faster the car will get to it's top speed. It helps when racing against other people, because right now it takes about 5 to 6 seconds when I'm going from 0-60 mph flooring the gas pedal and shifting at my best. With 3.73 gears and other major engine parts installed, I can hit 60 mph in perhaps less than 5 seconds, but that's uncertain. My main goal to installing 3.73 gears is to just gain faster acceleration and to hit high speeds faster.

3. BBK cold air intake kit
There's really not much to say about this install, other than the fact that it will increase the amount of horsepower you have by 15-20 HP. The reason being is because, this cold air intake can take in more air, therefore more pressure and allow the engine to get more power compared to the stock air intake I have in my car.

4. Borla Exhaust Pipe
I want this appearance mod because first of all, the sound coming out of this exhaust pipe is just BEAST. I've seen a lot of people debating on whether or not to get this exhaust or the catback exhaust pipe, other people have recommended Borla more than catback because the Borla exhaust provides a deeper sound to the engine. Also, the Borla exhaust also provides extra horsepower because of the size, and because there is also an option for dual exhaust pipes, both of which are Borla of course. With these dual exhaust pipes, hell, the car would most likely be twice as loud and can also add more horsepower to the amount of horsepower my car already has.

5. Performance Clutch
I want this mod because then I can dump the clutch more and it also won't wear out as fast. Performance Clutch=more peel outs and possible drifting in the future. Talking about drifting...here's where the next mod comes into play.

6. Lower and Stiffer Suspension
Having lower and stiffer suspension just means that you can drift better rather than not having the suspensions lowered and not being able to drift as well.

7. Sway Bars
The only one reason I want sway bars is because this also helps with easier drifting. I don't know why that's the case but when people want to drift, they ALWAYS install sway bars.


In the end, I love Mustangs and I would hate to sell this car, but honestly if it's a car that I don't feel safe driving (and my dad doesn't want to be responsible for fixing the car), then I'm just going sell the car and get another used car (hopefully a mustang, but if not probably a Honda Civic Si '11 or older).

future hobby: drift racing or drag racing? (and a side note)

YES, the title says it all, drift racing or drag racing as a future hobby? It is actually quite hard for me to choose in between these two options because first of all, the expense at which I will have to spend will most definitely be somewhat high and the amount of car modifications I'll have to do. I have been debating between these two subjects because I am very interested in drifting (even though I have no idea how to do it) and I have already been in some street races (similar to drag racing except it's illegal and it's on public roads). I know how to do burn outs, peel outs, burn outs leading into peel outs, making the tail of the car kick out left and right, etc, which basically means I can do drag racing but all there is to drag racing is just a straight strip of cement that's either an eighth of a mile long, a quarter of a mile long, or half of a mile long. As for drift racing, it's just basically a circuit (sometimes just an open lot with a course outlined by millions of cones) that you drift around in and also uses up tires VERY rapidly. The one thing that these two types of hobbies have in common though, is when some person knows what they are doing in either one of these activities, they get to know their car better, which is a key essential to how they should build up their car and what mods they have to install later on to increase their own enjoyment of their favorite hobby. As for me, I might consider being better off with drag racing because I already do sort of race other drivers on the streets so I know most of the basics for drag racing and as for drift racing, I will probably consider that as a "once-in-a-while" hobby to do.

Also, I wish my friend, Christina, all the best as she is starting school in a whole new environment in the world. Good luck to you Christina.

Not quite sure if you still come to this blog or not...

Not sure if you still come to this blog or not but just wanted to say hi, and how have you been these past few months. I know that during the past few weeks it's been hard for you with the loss of friendship with one of your closest friends, and as a result I feel sorry for you, but I hope other than that things have been going great for you (I'm thinking this may be a run-on sentence but oh well, whatever haha, it's not like this is English Class or anything). Anyways, Ever since you really left the U.S. to go back to Canada, let's just say that...things have changed. As you know, ever since the end of summer, I haven't been driving my mom's Lexus RX 330 because my dad got me a 2000 white mustang convertible and have been driving it ever since. When you do, and IF you do, come back to visit us during December break, I honestly want to give u at least one ride in that car just to let you get a feeling of how the car is. I know that back in Canada, I think you told me that you did get to ride in a mustang? The main differences are though, that mustang is a lot newer than mine AND it's an automatic. My car is a bit older and it's a manual transmission car. So...if you do come back during December, if I get a chance to, I wish I could take you on a couple of illegal street races either on highway 9 or in downtown San Jose, where they do real street racing, fast and furious style (2 cars side by side). In the previous post, I mentioned drag racing, those weren't actual drag races. Basically drag racing on the road=illegal street racing. To officially drag race, I would need to go to some drag strips, which are close to L.A. (that's why I want to go to school there in the future) and drag race there. Even when our car and the other car stopped at a red light and launched from there, that was illegal street racing too, but the good part is, illegal street racing is a LOT more fun than drag racing LOL. Anyways, this time that I went back to Taiwan, I did not get to drive my uncle's civic but he told me that if his car battery had not died, he would have let me driven it, only for one reason. He said that now that I know about the VTEC engine, he wanted me to test out how strong the overall car was but he had one concern: he was afraid that it was too powerful for me to handle, which I would agree with. So that's practically it about cars (I'm guessing like 90% of what I said above was about cars LOL) and now I'm going to say what I want to say to you, basically an update up until now. I'm thinking that you may think that everyone doesn't quite think about you anymore, but I do know that you still talk to Sara and Brooke. Now I don't know how often you talk to both of them, but you know that even though we don't talk to each other as often as we do when you were still here, but someone still thinks about you quite often, and that would be me. Even though I do like someone else now (there's a reason for it), I once told you I wouldn't forget about you didn't I? Well, I haven't forgotten about you yet and don't think I ever will. So basically to put it in a simple way, no matter what, there will always be someone thinking of you. I really hope your plan with your friend of visiting us in December really does happen, because I want to see you once more before we are all certain that you aren't going to come back and visit us anymore, at least for now. I still want to keep all my promises to you, haha (including that one trip to SF).

Response to Let's Be Awesome Together's "Hannibal" Post

I...am absolutely...speechless. After reading this…there's just way too many things I want to say. Haha you're right, I don't mind you writing out my flaws at all XD. I do know that me being neutral does annoy you because you wouldn't know what I really want and I'm sorry for that. Just, I'm glad with whatever you choose for me because you led me to step out of the box and try new things, which, no one has ever convinced me to do before in the past. And about cars, I really want to bring that 70% down because I realize that me obsessing over one thing for a SUPER long time does drive people insane and make people not be able to stand me for very long, and I’m pretty sure I have driven you insane talking about cars too, because I know that that’s not something that you like talking about and I apologize for that. But it’s just that, for instance, now that I’m looking into cars, I did have several cars that I had in mind but I wanted your opinion on them because it did help me decide which car I would feel happy to drive with. Also, since I know you like drag races too, I thought telling you about those stories would entertain you, in a way, but then I realized that drag races are really NOT fun at all without you actually being there. It is fun, like in general that I’m doing something illegal on the streets by racing with other people but it would only truly be fun for me if you were there, which is why I’m not planning to start racing again either when you come back or when you come and visit. And up until now, to what I said, 2/3 of this entire paragraph was about cars again -_- crap…Ok I’m going to stop now. Godiva chocolate isn’t the best chocolate there is, it IS one of the best rated chocolates here in the Bay Area but if you really wanted some good chocolate, I would go with Ghiradelli Square chocolate, if you haven’t had those already. If you haven’t had those already, I am SO bringing you to SF when you come back and we are going to Ghiradelli Square. Lol I brought you to the beach because you said you have never been to that part of Santa Cruz before and since I thought 1). I like going to the ocean side for the view and for photography (selfish on my part), 2). You were talking about it for 2 weeks or so and I really wanted to bring you there myself, and 3). I wanted to spend as much time with you as possible before you left, knowing that this was one of our last times we would spend together(I would even appreciate it if it was for a min, even a few seconds, as long as it was with you). About Victoria’s Secret and Sephora…I’m going to be completely honest here. In the past, I was actually interested in what Sephora sold because I’ve gone in to basically every store in Valley Fair since when I was young, just not Sephora. I’ve even stepped into Victoria’s Secret once but all I did was step into the entrance and sit at one of the windows, but never actually walked through the entire store. So yeah, you were actually the first one to bring me into both Sephora and Victoria’s Secret, but even now, still without you, I wouldn’t be willing to go into any of those two stores by myself XD. Me telling my mom countless lies…lmao I have nothing to say to that except the only reason why I did that was because I just wanted to hang out with you for a longer time. And what do you mean by endless crap? XD you never did…not that I can think of. Taking a friend like me for granted…how should I put it…no you did not. Now, I know we have been through millions of conversations similar to this but I did all of this because I wanted to hang out with you as much as I possibly could. I didn’t care about what consequences I possibly would have gotten at the end but to me, it was all worth the trouble because it was NOTHING compared to the time I spent with you. Lol, staying up till past 3 in the morning just to read your spam overflowing my chat window? That’s funny XD. I willingly stayed up, because I wanted to talk to you. About me patiently listening to you talk about how hot a guy is? Um…haha I have nothing to say to that, but I guess that’s what girls do so yeah, I have nothing to say to that. Those times where you weren’t at school, yeah I was just worried that something happened to you so I was just seeing if you were ok, if for any reason something happened. And now, for the final four, or make that five:

I am thankful that David did give me your number, things wouldn’t have been like how it is now if he didn’t.

I am grateful that I was able to spend as much time with you as I could and that you were willing to spend time with me too.

I am sorry for my behavior in the past that caused that one week to happen right before our second semester finals.

You are sometimes, a very commanding "mom." XD

And thank you, for always being there for me whenever I needed someone to talk to, for helping me get through hardships when I couldn’t get through them myself, and for being who I would consider, as one of my best friends.


Sincerely,
Pumpkin
