The people around me define who I really am.
My family has taught me all there is to a family: love, respect, and support. I can say that my cousins shaped me to do what I do--from throwing a football in a city league to making art to dancing in front of a large crowd [when before, I'd cry at family parties when they'd force me haha].
My friends who I was fortunate to have during my public school years to my boys in high school and now to college. Apol who I knew since the beginning of school--remember that one rainy day when we came from TRP to find that my mom left me Pokemon Stadium for N64? Shiet, the battles were on. Eli who I awkwardly met at that GEN 2 practice sitting at the opposite sides of a couch with that girl in the middle. Mikey who I fought with at my house about how to drive in Grand Turismo 2 for PSone [stupid fight I swear]. Darryl who I teamed up for Spanish 3 and made a kick-ass presentation for Sevilla with the help of photoshop. Matt who didn't mind taking me home after our outings because I couldn't drive. Joey who made that unforgettable mistake in chorus [that African beat]. Joan who I just realized has added more quirks in me than that i thought--"Bye Hi." Ghia who I learned the importance of just kicking it and watching movies at home.
My girlfriend Cherry who made me realize the simplest things are just as important--whether it is a call before she goes to work or having a sandwich from Safeway and eating Hawaiian chips while watching the 6oclock news.
I care to support and be supported, believe in what is right and try to avoid wrong, and more notably, i love to teach and learn.
