Zoe Nightshade

OMG! So I can't believe that I haven't posted a pic of my baby yet! This is my Zoe. She is a lil bit bigger than this now, but stil the same smile.... I love her dearly! you wanna hear the story of my Zoe? Well when I was lil, my dad used to have a golden retriever... and I feel in love with his boy named DUKE. Smartest dog ever... he used to go surfing with him and everything! So... couple years later.... I'm living my life... and I decide to get a golden retriever for our new home. I scan the papers... nothing. My best friend and I go to this puppy swap-meet to see if they have any puppies. To our luck, they have a litter of retrievers! there in the corner of the lil play-pen is this cute lil puppy crossing her paws and just sleeping. all the other puppies are jumping and licking all the people trying to pet them. she was the only one resting. it was an immediate connection. i fell in love. i picked her up and she nusseled her nose right in my neck. I told my room-mate that this was it. so she wrote my name on the guys sign-up sheet and we went home to wait for his call. He called like 2 days later and was like.." Terukina? your name is Terukina.... are you related to Keith?" and right when I told him Keith was my father he got super excited! "OMG! Keith gave me the puppies grandfather!... his name is Duke!" .... Now tell me that that isn't destiny! the dog that was my childhood dream dog.... is the grandpa to my puppy! So ya, I love her....

Best Friends Forever

I dont think I posted a pic of my bestest best friend yet. Tray Tray... this is at Moanaluas homecoming game in like 08. I know its a while ago, but this is my favorite pic of us... she is sooo totally cool. everyone she meets she infects with joy. she truly has shown me how much of a better person i can be. no one has ever been more supportive or encouraging to me in all my life. i can honestly say that i have been lucky enough to have made a true best friend. she has put up with my crap... and still loves me for who i am... never judges or makes me feel low. i am very thankful for our beautiful friendship. i hope that someday i can make an impact on someones life as strongly as she has been in mine.

Blogger Virgin

Well well well... it's a start of a new year, and a start for a new resolution. And yes... you guessed it.... a new me. I am going to transform my pathetic little life into something worth writing about. Hence... the blog. Ok wait. My life isn't pathetic... well, the people in it sure aren't. What I mean is my physical, spiritual, mental and social aspects are not at the place where I want them to be. And as a promise to myself... I'm going to change it. My goal is to stand in front of the mirror and be able to say... your beautiful. And more importantly, believe it.

So as a promise to you (my faithful readers)... I will. And this is the begining. The honest truth... every life changing event (or any significant one at that...) you will hear about it, so you can keep me in line when I get lost, encourage me when I want to quit, and rejoice with me when I succeed. So in advance... THANK YOU.
