Day 11: Deceased person I wish I could talk to
Dear MJ,
I wish I could've gotten a chance to talk to you. To find out where you got your inspiration from. To find out how you were so innovative and how you basically had the world in the palm of your hand. Also to find out exactly what you were thinking when you went bad. The world was robbed when you died so early. You were a talent and a gift.

Day 10: Someone I don't talk to as much as I'd like to
Dear Ben Chung,
Dude. You're a brother to me. Even though we don't really talk that much, usually once a month during the school year and once a week this summer, and we don't really ever hang out haha, I always look forward to and enjoy talking to you. We can be freakin raw and honest with each other and I respect and admire you alot. I love how frank you are about everything and how no matter how much time passes between the times we talk it's never awkward when we start talking again. We laugh hella hard at funny things and we laugh hella hard at nothing at all hahaha. You're a good listener and you're always positive but you still always give your honest opinion. I feel like if we talked alot we'd be the best of friends and brothers but we got it goin good right now so why mess widdit.

Day 9: Someone I wish I could meet
Dear grandparents,
I wish I could have met any one of you. Is it fair that I never got the chance to have a relationship with a grandparent? Well I dunno, can't really miss what you never had right? I just wish I had a chance to meet one of you. Maybe you would've taught me life lessons that I'd pass down to my grandchildren. Maybe we'd hang out together, and we'd talk about things that I couldn't talk about with anyone else. I'll never know

Punny Story
Once upon a time there were two friends.
One day they came upon a gigantic toilet, filled with pee
While they were gazing upon the gigantic toilet, one friend pushed the other in.
The friend fell in and swam to the surface.
The other friend, looking down at his friend swimming in the pee, yelled down to him "GROSS!!!! LOOK HOW DEEP UR-INE!!"

Day 8: Internet Friend
Dear Internet Friend,
I don't have one of you. But maybe it would be cool to. Anyways, I don't have anything to say to you. Maybe we could become friends in real life one day.

Day 7: Past Crush
Dear Annie,
You were the biggest crush I've ever had and the longest too. All the way from after I met you until the middle of sophomore year. You know how we went to the first two winter formals together? I thought we were gonna go to all 4 together and both proms too. I honestly didn't know who I'd rather go with. I'm not sure how you ever felt about me cus I could never get straight words out of you but now it doesn't really matter. I'm happy that I can say that we never had a bad falling out or anything. I guess I just moved on. I found true love (:. I wish the same for you too. You're a pretty, smart, and sweet girl and anyone guy would be lucky to have you. We're always going to be good friends and I'm always gonna be there for you.

Day 6: Stranger
Dear Stranger,
You don't know me. That's pretty much a given. Maybe you see me around. I hope I've made a good first impression on you. Probably not. I'm a pretty embarassing kid. Feel free to judge me. I don't really mind what other people think about me. I'm sure once you get to know me you'll change your mind. You can really judge me then. I hope I haven't annoyed you or pissed you off. If I have it hasn't been intentional. I hope we can be friends someday. That'd be cool. Then instead of being a part of the group of people for this letter, you could have one of your own! Just talk to me. I'll talk back

Day 5: My Dreams
Dear dreams,
I don't know what you mean by dreams. My sleeping dreams or my future dreams? I'll write to both. Dear sleeping dreams. I don't usually remember you guys. Sorry. It's not that you're not important to me, it's just that I don't figgin remember you guys for some odd reason. sorry. The last dream I remember, I got killed by an atomic bomb. So maybe it's for the better that I don't remember you guys.
Dear future dreams. You're kind of unclear right now. Lemme just throw out some of you. In the future I don't want to be the kind of guy who works and works and works all through school and finally gets a good job and is successful all so that he he can make alot of money for himself to have the financial security for himself and his family. Don't get me wrong. I definitely want to be able to make money so that me and my family will never have to worry about having enough money.
But at the same time I don't want to have a life soley centered around money making. Money isn't everything. Backtrack a little. From the start our parents have pushed us into working hard in school. Work hard in school they say. Get a good education. Go to a good college. Use all of that to get a good job. Be succesful and make alot of money. Ultimately what do they want for us?
Ultimately they want us to, with this financial security and wealth, to be able to pursue our interests and lead happy lives. But suppose we don't spend all that time spending every possible minute hitting the books hard. Suppose we take the time in our lives to leave it all behind and just spend time having fun.. to be happy. Sounds weird huh. But if you think about it, all our parents want for us in the end is to be happy. But if we spend the time we could be using to study instead to take the time to enjoy life and be happy, aren't we achieiving the same end? Just through different means.
Ok I got really sidetracked. I digress. What I was trying to say is, to spend all that time in school only to grow up with the single purpose of making money for myself seems to me like a very selfish lifestyle. I recognize that it's the accepted view for most everybody out there and that it's basically the norm, but I honestly think it's at least a little bit selfish. I mean we work all those years to go to work for ourselves and our dearly beloved. Only those who are really succesful ever help out anyone else. And so my dream for the future is not to have a job where I make loads and loads of money. My dream for the future is to do something where every day of my life I have an opportunity to change someone else's life for the better. That's my idea of a productive life. I mean money will never ever buy you happiness. But by giving someone else happiness, they give some of it back to you. And that's the most priceless thing ever.
I guess that sounds kinda corny. Whatever I'll admit it, I'm a corny guy. Deal with it. What inspires me the most about leading a life to help others is that anyone can do it. It doesn't take brains. It doesn't matter if you scored a 2400 on your SAT or if you had a 5.0 GPA and was valedictorian of the world. It doesn't take any talent, skill, or brains to show compassion to another human being, to be willing to work hard for someone else's sake. All it takes is open ears and a willing heart. That is a big part of my dream.
I would also like to be someday happily married. And I would die after my wife, or at the same time, because I would promise never to leave her and I would never break that promise. I would want us to always be happy and to raise our kids well and teach them right about what's actually important in life. I want to someday be old and look back on my life and be completely absolutely content with it. I feel like that feeling of absolute acceptance and content would be the most amazing in the world. That would be true happiness. That would be my dream.

The Hair
Yesterday my pops and I made a bet over a tennis match. loser gets their head buzzed by the winner.
Down to the final point, my dad hits the ball at the net, seemingly resulting in victory for me. However, due to some freak chance of luck, the ball drops into the court.
With my luscious locks on the line, I lost by a hair.
I now look like a mushroom.
Btdubs if yall didn't catch my drift this is supposed to be a punny story.
I wouldn't actually bore you guys with a story like this..
shoutout to mah bud anika jahlani

Day 3: Parents
Dear Mom,
I think you are super funny, one of the funniest people I know. You're an inspiration to me because you work really hard and you're really frank about me (example: mom: your haircut is hideouuus). You're always really energetic about life and you think of the most interesting ways to see things. You get really hard on me sometime when I'm lazy and I don't do my work and honestly even though I complain so much about it I appreciate it because I need somebody to keep me in line. I'm sorry I caused you so much pain by comin out backwards hahah I can say I'm not a normal kid. But I love you alot mom!
Dear Dad,
You are a goober. You bought reading glasses and your vision is perfect. You wear them on the end of your nose and call yourself dumbledore. You do the funniest things and say such strange things that always make me laugh. (Uhh. what's the airplane flight path?) You laugh way harder at your own jokes than anyone else ever does haha. You're really unfair and harsh on me sometimes, but I love you all the same. I know sometimes I can be a smartass to you (alot actually) but usually I'm tired or it's just plain something I feel like I should fight for. You take time to spend time with me and teach me new things and you're always looking out for my benefit and my welfare, which I don't fully appreciate. You always tell me that I should appreciate what I have more and even though on the outside I deny it to your face, on the inside I truly believe it. You give me the chance to pursue whatever I want in life and you support me no matter what and that's the most that anyone can do for anyone. I love you Dad.

Day 2: The Crush
Ok I'm gonna come straight up and say I don't have a crush. Don't believe me? I honestly don't. You might be thinking. What about Robin!?!? Yeah she's not my crush. That's far to insignificant of a word to describe the way I feel about her. I loveher. She's the only girl for me. Aite I'm gonna try to write this letter without getting too corny or making anyone want to feel like throwing up aha.
Dear Robin,
You're in China right now. I miss you more than anything. I can't wait until you come home. But you should already know that. I love you more than anything. You should already know that too. I try to tell you every day. I feel so comfortable and content when I'm with you and you always know how to make me smile and make me laugh and make me happy. Even with the simplest ways. I feel I can always completely be myself around you. You always take me the way I am, faults and quirks and everything, you even complement mine with yours. I'm the luckiest guy in the world cus you're all mine and I'm definitely going to make it last. I love that we can talk about anything, we have nothing to hide from each other but we're also amazingly content saying nothing at all. I think you are the cutest thing in the world and also the most beautiful girl in the entire world. The way you make me feel is amazing and im completely sure that no other person in the world can make me feel the same way. If you ever don't think I don't love you, look at the compilation. I always have things to add to it. You are my baby, forever and always.
Love,
Eric

Day 1: Best Friends
These are my best friends. I don't know what I would ever do without them.
Dear Will Tang, I love you. We hit off our friendship with a 5 am baseball game drinking imaginary soda and watching the sun rise together. Gahd we're romantic. I seriously can tell you anything at all and you're always honest with your opinion which I love. We can always carry a continuous conversation that flows on and on. I've shared good laughs with you about the most random things and sometimes about things that aren't so random. You're reliable, I know you're always be there when I need you and that I can count on you no matter what. We talk about girls together, stargaze on beautiful nights, wrestle, play and fight (i win) and basically you're the older brother I never had.
Dear Kaitna,: We've had our one rough patch where I wasn't there for you but I can honestly say that you have always been there for me. We can talk about anything and we can talk forever and you're always fun to be around and you (usually) support me in whatever i do hahahah. I feel super comfortable around you and I can totally be myself and it's so liberating. You're super encouraging and you're honestly one of the kindest and most popular people I know. Even though you're a sasshole and pretends to hate me sometimes I love her all the same.
Dear Krista: You're a fun and funny one. I always thought it was really easy to talk to you and that it was always fun and easy for me to be around you but I think our heart to heart that one night at j in the b really strengthened our friendship. We totally spilled our guts about everything and from then on we've only grown closer. You put up with all of my jokes and you even laugh at some of them. hahah actually that goes for everyone here. You introduce me to great music and you're patient with my guitar learning (even though i just go GOD I HATE GUITAR ITS SO HARD). hahaha you always listen to what I have to say and give me advice and I love you for that.
Dear Jason: When I first met you I thought you hated me. You still pretend like you do alot. Even though you always say fuck you and tell me to suck your dick you're still a bro to me. I like that we can joke around about random stuff and basically talk about nothing at all but we can also put our serious pants on and talk about what really matters. usually in your car at night over wingstop. You're one of those people who is honest through and through to the point of being blunt and rude. But because of that I trust your judgement no matter what. I feel like you've rubbed off on me and I know you'll be very happy about that. You smell like baby powder and even though constantly call me corny I know you secretly dig my jokes and romantic lines. love you big fella.
Dear Jon: When I first met you I thought you hated me too hahahhaaha. I really got to know you on the LA trip and we had a great bonding experience hahahahha then I learned we were pretty figgin similar and we've hung out almost every day this summer. I love your honestly and bluntness. You're not gonna sugarcoat something for me or anyone else and so i value your opinion. It's always fun to hang out with you cus I always feel like I have stuff to say to you. Specially when I throw up a 40 with Melo.
Dear Olivia: Where do I start? You've been my best friend forever. It all started back in the 3rd grade at xin wang ai. Actually back then you were NOT my best friend. You were the cause of me losing 2 hard earned stickers. What an upsetting day. Fastfoward 7 years and we're the best of friends. We've definitely been through alot together. You've gotten pretty figgin mad at me but I have yet to get really really mad at you. I guess we'll cross that bridge when we meet it. But anyways you are the only person that isn't in choir (that you always remind me whenever I tell you this) that has ever seen me cry. And it's been twice. Wow. You are always always always there for me no matter what and you always listen to me and never fail to cheer me up. (there, there.) I love all the random adventures we go on and all of our spontaneous activities. You know me so well inside and out that you can always tell what's on my mind or if I'm upset or what not. You make me laugh even though half the time you're not even trying to (smashh...into...you...). I always enjoy spending time with you and i do actually miss you when we're not hanging out hahaha. (olivia: he's probably like tim, he hates me.) It's easy for me to talk to you and I can talk to you about literally everything. You always support me and encourage me. And I will always always always be here for you big sis (:

Don't Worry, Be Happy
This morning me and a good friend had a good chat about college. It's kinda early to be talking about it I guess. Not really though if we think about it, all yall out there that are class of 2012. I mean think about it, how fast did freshman and sophomore year pass us? Before we know it it'll be our turn to stress about college apps and our futures. And it's a scary thought, not gonna lie.
My friend was telling me about how she was stressing like crazy about school and SATs and how she thought she was never going to go to college. And listening to her talk, in my head I was thinking. Dude. I should be seriously freaked out and stressed and scared too. But I'm not. What's wrong with me? I really don't know why I have this cool about school. It's a freakin big deal. This is how I explained it to her and I guess this is just what I think about the whole deal without even really consciously trying to. I basically told her that if you study hard and work hard at everything you do and give it everything you have to offer, all you can really do is sit back and let what happens happens. So if you happen to not get into the school you wanted to then what happens happens. But you know that you gave it your all and there was nothing else you could have possibly done to increase your chances. I know how cliche`d and corny I sound haha. I feel like my dad. But there's no point in stressing out about something. That takes a ton of energy. And there are so many more productive things you could be doing with that energy.
Also I was thinking about how alot of people say things like god im never gonna get into college. Or basically they beat themselves up alot. I don't usually let it bother me when people say things like that but in the back of my mind it annoys me. It doesn't annoy me because it's obnoxious but I just feel like it's so unnecessary. Let me explain. We're all basically trying for the same thing. Be successful. Be happy. All that good stuff. And we all have people or organizations or failures and what not that will try to stop us from achieving our goals. They'll try as hard as they can to put us down and make us give up. Going back to the people who say they won't go to college, why would you ever say that about yourself? There are plenty of SAT counselors, college administration officers, and even other parents who I'm sure would be more than happy to tell that to you. Why add to that number? You shouldn't ever discourage yourself. That's what other people are for.
I really believe in never putting myself down. I think if you're good at something, you should be loud and proud. I guess people would call it cocky in some circumstances. I really try not to come across like that but you gotta live with some confidence. Anyways back to the whole college thing. All yall out there worrying about college, please try not to worry so hard about it all. It might seem like, in our high school bubble, that school and SATs are gonna make or break you for the rest of your life, but honestly it's not. The world is so much bigger than grades and scores. I'm not trying to say blow off school haha I'm not saying that at all. I'm just trying to say take a step back, chill out, relax a little bit and then get back into it. And before you know it, we'll all be on our way.

Late Nights
It's almost 2:30, just up talkin to Robin in China (: I miss her. Anyways. I was thinkin. Maybe it's just me. Aren't people alot more open to talk about whatever the later it is at night? Iono maybe it is just me. But I remember alot of my deep personal conversations with people where they spill their guts about anything and everything and don't hold anything back are usually really late at night either at some camp lying next to each other in the pitch dark whispering or late night phone dates lying in bed half asleep and not even remembering half of the conversation the next day. But I've always wondered why people are so open at night. At night they all just lay everything out and hold nothing back. What drives people so be so straightforward, trusting, and honest at night that doesn't propel them in broad daylight? It'd be cool if someone could fill me in on what they think. I'm really interested in what they think! One of my best friends has an opinion though. "DID YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOURE REALLY TIRED..YOUR BRAIN IS EXACTLY LIKE WHEN YOURE DRUNK...??" - Olivia Chock

Comeback
Ok I promise to myself and all of yall that from here on out I will blog at least once a week. When I was thinking about it I was thinking. Ok I'll promise myself every day. But I know that I wouldn't be able to keep that promise that to myself so I'm going for something reasonable. I'll just have to exceed my own expectations. What's been going on with me since the last time i blogged? A ton.
I'm a junior year now. Finally an upperclassman. I'm looking forward to all the word cus even though everyone says it's so much work and stressful and stuff, which I definitely believe, I'm looking forward to really being tested and stressed you know? Sounds strange but I feel like this will really show myself what kind of person I am. Do I run from my problems or do I stick with it and work hard to deal with them? We'll see. I also feel like this coming year is gonna help me define my true friends. Just a hunch. I've started doing SAT stuff cus my dad wants me to. Just printed out a list of 723 SAT words. The party's getting started. Memorized 20 hahaha only 703 to go. wooopeee.
Alot's changed with my perspective since the last time I wrote. Weird thing is everytime you write you act like you're super wise and super smart and know eveyrthing now. But then every time you write again a couple weeks later you're like oh wow my eyes have really been opened and I have this new perspective blah blah. Proves we're always learning and growing. I used to wish that I would be grown up and developed and sophisticated and smart and that would be the end of that. But I thought about it and yaknow how boring would it be to have nothing to strive for? Anyways I came back from a long trip in Miami and on a cruise to the Bahamas. This one night I was missssin my girl really badly so I spontaneously decided to text everybody on my contacts list with a significant other for the reasons of love/like. And to my surprise I got a bunch of replies, even from the ones I didn't know that well. It was pretty cool and inspiring and heart warming to see all the responses. I still have all of them on my phone, locked them. But reading all of them made me really happy cus I could completely relate to all of them.
The biggest thing that hit was that no matter how different we all are, we all love the same! (:. It was like that thing that was going on on facebook where people said nice things about each other when you liked their status only different because it was heartwarming all the same. It gets me wondering, when someone really asks. or actually. when someone's really tired haha. I feel like when you're really tired youre super open and willing to talk about things you dont normally talk about and i guess you're just too tired to put up a front and hide anything from anybody yaknow? But anyways when even from the most unlikely people you get this outpour of love when you just ask to talk about it. It's like finding 20 bucks in the back pocket of the jeans you just washed.
