April 12, 1997

My mom is always out on meetings. Her business just opened and I miss her a lot. I don't get to see her that often, really, but when she's here, I usually hug her and sometimes, sleep with her.

I've already got something to do to keep me occupied a bit for the summer. My friends (Argee, Apple, Lara, Mary Jane, Karla and Angee), my sister and I formed a group of friends and we're really the best. Actually, Mary Jane, Apple and I have been friends since we were around five. So that makes six years of friendship. It's really touching.

Funny things have happened to me lately. This is the funniest. When I was around four or five, I used to have a friend named RJ who is a guy and my neighbor. Now, I haven't seen him for like, years! And one day, when my friend, Argee and my other friends went biking when Apple and her sister Lara went to Bangkok, I overheard something she was saying about me having a perfect match. I said, "What?! With whom?" And then she asked me about RJ. I said, "He used to be my best friend." Everyone teased me about it and I like, grew red from head to toe (don't laugh, it always happens). Then Argee got this idea to introduce ourselves. I was shy immediately. I wondered if he still knew me. So my other friend dragged him out and we just kinda looked at each other. Duh! Then I looked away and he dashed back in his house. I NEVER forgot that moment.

Looks like this will be a pretty interesting summer.
