Misunderstandings... SUCK CRAPOY

Is it silly to cry if a friend misunderstood you and took you for a hot headed fool when all you were attempting to do was make a genuine apology with a bit of sarcasm to lighten up whatever temperament residue was left from a previously lashing statement?

I wont let it bother my conscience, so here it goes:

Dear friend:

I’m sorry if i was "prying" into your business. I was only trying to be a friend. Perhaps i thought my persistence will break you; I would like to think I only do that under certain circumstances with certain persons who I believe is comfortable with me and who would tolerate, understand the concerns I have with his/her life. I only wanted to be there to share whatever it is that wretches your mind, heart, and soul.. whatever it is that brings you a smile, laugh, cry, vent.

And whatever it means to say I'm sorry, I am. But knowing me, my sarcasm naturally found its way into my initial apology... a genuine apology at that. I guess that made you even more furious cause apparently, you took it offensively. I can't help who I am. I’m sorry if my sense of humor doesn't suit your two cents. I thought you should know that by now and that I won't say sorry unless I truly mean it, esp. if i said it to you cause you tend to make my blood boil the easiest--and what the hell does that mean? well, it means a big deal because i know my tolerance level is pretty damn high. Anyway, i'm tired of being misunderstood by you. I'm just trying to be reasonable here.. and maybe I'm making a fool of myself again cause u'll probably take this as another offense... but i'm telling you again, this time.. with no sarcastic remarks and of no teeth... I'm sorry.

If you can't take that, then I don't know if i should even try anymore. Goodnite.

Unearthing...

Would it be disturbing to feel a loss of something when you failed to seek to gain it because you were too afraid of the aftermath?

YEAHHHHHh.. very well.

It may be I never willed it, perhaps even understood it.. it being what truely earths me. What is it?

THE AMBIGUITY IS DISGUSTINGLY FARCE... the raging paradox strips me down, not to my sinews but to my bones! GAH.

It is to my understanding that I made my history almost untracable by the potent people I used to imagine to be my acquaintences... is that wrong? *Sigh*

okay... i am incoherent, am i not?

indeed. maybe my mind will clear a bit soon. i dont know.

she says its a lesbo kiss.. nothing but love for my lil sister emi!

picture with the fresh new grad... (from middle school! hahahahaha) and yah, u can see bags and dark circles under mi eyes... i drove bak at 2am and slept only 3.5 hrs for her ceremony!!!

Rust359 (10:35:01 PM): nite

I feel absolutely grateful for the friends i've made and friendships that i've grown so accustom to. I'm nostalgic about Sacramento and the friends i left behind. Life has been tough lately and to have the little things remind you that everything will be okay and friends to reassure you is a lot to make me smile.

Kevin Bauer, you're one of a guy. Thank you for being so sweet and being such a buddy. I seriously dont know how college would have been if i didn't have classes with you. I love you! SEriously... i'm reallie happy our friendship has grown and blossomed. i think it came a long ways and is quite something, which i honestly never surmised. thank you x a million!! you brighten up day just being you... and thank you for noticing the little things like my blog and my profile or extreme little things like my art quotient zine in the las vegas smithsonian.. i didn't think anyone would really care to read and/or comment about things like these but you certainly do; thanx for being a true caring friend. i love you, and i didn't ever think i'd say that in the past.. but i do. i seriously do love you for who u are. :) thanx dood!! keepin it real and down to earth is what you're all about and i dig it, big time! haha ;)

Jeff Gonzales: how do i even begin? wow. seeing you today for the first time in two years was aWEee and THEN some! i love how u'd always make me laugh and feel soo comfortable being the fool i am. it was great hangin with you and michimi again.
Michelle, you too are pretty damn sweet. i miss seeing you everyday. i rarely see you around school, and that sucks big time!
Jennifer Parsons.. oh jen. i can run to you and cry my eyes out or run to u and laugh as hard as i can and be the biggest fool on earth without hesitance. You are one of a kind and i thank you for always being there.. u ROCK MY SOCKS and make me want to la la! :D
Marielle: wow... you are totally like a sister who knows me well. thankyou for taking the time to call me every once in a while. and every time i see/talk to you.. its like.. we never even stopped before. i love how u make me feel like it was yesterday when we first hit it off in mrs. george's hnrs art class. i LOVE you to death!
Kasey Estrada: how i love you so~! what a peculiar kind of love that's forever been there and will always continue to be there. i miss you... a lot!
Sung Kang: you... you... you make me melt away. i can be rambling on and on and you wouldn't give a damn but listen to everything i've got to say.. not only that but you always seem to have the right things to say to me. there's this comfort i get from you that makes me feel all cozy inside. i love the aura i get from you.
Trevor Jackson: u're an odd one... a very intelligent and provocative person who isn't afraid to speak ur mind. whenever i want to purify myself with honesty and truth .. i go to you. u're my stamina for keeping it raw and true.

There are more of you... but for now, let's keep it at that because i'm soo extremely EXHAUSTED! there's a pile of junk labs that i have to keep up with..ha.... ha.. haha. haha. ha.HA! :) blah... more tributes to come when i have the time to reflect.

blah. blah blah. blah blah blah blah.

Arts Alive Judging was sOOOOOOOOOO much work yesterday! 2-8pm nonstop work... and i didn't sleep til 5am. And yesterday, I missed bio and chem just because :)

Qualitative Analysis Laboratory today sucked crap-oy. I need a punching bag. Screaming into my pillow doesn't suffice anymore. haha... ha. ha. ha? :P

I miss art. the artwork this year... could have been better to say the least. -_- nonetheless.... it's... ART! What a beauty.

my head hurts. i thought i should update... but nevermind. i will.. soon. summer? ummmmmmm

spit me out the hearth like a pheOnix, please! *sigh*

happy cinco de mayo. i can hear ppl screaming... drunkerds... what fools they can be. :P

Disturbed. Dont ask why.

And so this is what I resort to… Endless self perpetuated mind games… spindles of spool… catastrophic chaos… smokes of mushroom clouds… my mind is running a thousand miles per millisecond yet is idly frozen in time. One of these days, im going to break, not that I am not already broken but to break and never be put back together again. It scares me that I can no longer find tranquility in my dreams, so much as to say and actually believe (in the words of sung) “ok, i'm gonna go to sleep so i can dream because i'm only happy in my dreams.”

I wanted to cry myself to sleep but stopped myself. Why cry when it solves nothing… and to what reason justifies the thirst my pillow will sequench with bitter sorrowful tears. I am weak, I admit. What am i? I am yet to know. Do I exist? To that I debate. *sigh* society.. deceitful, detested… what a distaste..

o.. I cant type faster than thought.. so fragmented, so indistinctive, clear as mud. I fail again.

I’ll attempt perhaps another day… goodnight.

my lovely little monsters i'll do anything for

candid pucker up!

more surprises

First and foremost: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUNG! :D i miss youuuuuuu, lots. hope ur day goes well. best of wishes and thoughts to you.

Secondly, chem gang + ernie and chris cheered me up big time yesterday after the bball game (which i mgiht add.. SUCKS crapoy even tho we won UCSB). Having just gotten out of my midterm for STUPid ASA2, I was in an extremely crappy mood--as one might have guessed, i screwed myself over big time. i didn't even finish the dumb essay and 33% of my grade is now down the drain. *sigh* anyway.. so i tried my best to cheer up during the game but it just didn't help. afterward, we hung out: wendy, christine, frank, ernie, chris, and me... in the parking lot (Oh! and i saw a shooting star!!) until frank dragged me to the junction where we took forever to get salsa dip and chips cause we're the most indecisive ppl on the planet.. and frank got the cashier to make the most confusing face ever when he asked: are there any chips for dip? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. you had to be there. "excuse me? i dont understand your question" hahahaha. ooo man. alrite. so anyway... long story short, they threw me a mini surprise party. it was great. the night/day ended well when we drove bak from safeway, our late night excursion. you guys are soo great! i love u!

i'm tired. and contemplative. goodnite.

Surprises

Today, i am a year older than last. 19. i'm such an old hag.... with back problems! haha.. indeed. It's my first bday ever to spend it with friends and I thank you all for everyone who called/imed/emailed/etc me. I LOVE you guys! thanx for remembering.. i seriously didn't expect anything. u are the backbone of my life. i sincerely thank you x infinity and beyond! thank u, chem gang, for singing happy bday in CHEM today.. hahaha. that was so embarassingly hilarious! thank you linh for the pleasant balloons and flowers surprise on my desk wen i came home. thank you, karen.. my older sister, who came with bearing gifts and a cake! haha. and thank you to my apartment/room mates who took me out for dinner. i love you all! thank you thank you thank you. all my friends are awesome-st of all awesome-ness!

Song of my soul

everytime my heart aches... the thought of you keeps me going. i miss you. and everytime i do, this song soothes me, cradles me, and sings me pure.. the only song i cry endlessly for the bittersweet sorrows and happiness in life. i wish you never had to go. i love you. i'll never forget you.

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?
Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
I'll watch then bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white and the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying, How do you do?
They're really saying, I, I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more than we'll know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?

Dude! Your piece was the TALK of the opening! Yes, I sent the piece to Las Vegas and it is on display there right now, in a nice new expensive frame…….apparently at the opening reception your piece made quite a stir and many comments were made regarding it…..and wait until you see the zine it is in…….too cool! Thanks for helping me look good too for putting this all together, your zine is in the mail today. In fact, I’ll send 2……….

Hi Cottie! This is Amy Chi from Sheldon High. I was wondering if there are any news updates about my art piece "Freedom Dance" that you said was going into the Art Quotient and the Las Vegas Art Museum? Just a thought that reigned my curiousity. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon!

This is so fucking rad.. i'm SOO EXCITED---my second piece in an Art Museum.. and this one is in a SMITHSONIAN BRANCH! MOother of goodness......

too bad, noone else cares enough to go with me to Vegas. Everyone's busy. Has things to do.... and i'm here, sitting, wishing i can see it.
BOOOOOOOOooooooooo

who's line is it anyway?

"""I woke up this morning feeling like i did that night
I don't want your pity or your damn excuse
don't tell me it was because we were both fucked up
or that you'll take a raincheck
cause you're due to make another stampede.
your scent is still everywhere
in my hair and on my skin
you're lips contaminated mine
and the thought of you is like staples to my brain
maybe if i knew you meant some of it or non at all,
it'd be okay if u were to leave
and tell me u only want to be friends.
but the fact is
you took my silly feelings
and pulled my strings
you left me hanging loose with my foolish naviety
tossed me aside.
stop being such a donkey
and make a stand
just tell me ur actions were selfish and meaningless
just speak the truth
i'll understand
dont spoil the friendship cause it's still preserved in a can
I'm not just one of ur other many puppets
nor ur typical flamboyant grl lookin for leisure
speak and break the silence
its the least you can do
i wont judge u/
after all, you did a good job contaminating everything
i'll understand"""

My Love... you are wonderful!

my brain lesion
of spindled spools

thicket thorns

Let's just say, i wasn't in the best of moods if not in one of the worse with killer pains and suffocating scholastic work.. as one can imagine with sky rocketing stress levels:

As should I remind you, my dear: I love you... forever MORE, Daniel Kasey Estrada!

i thought it was hilarious.. didn't you?! :D

guys are dumb. period.

Itching for leisure... for time... for:

Blisterin winds of dreary winters
forsake me
Oh i've abandon thee too long...

How chance knew i bee comin' back
to thine purest white,
immaculate simplicity.
my heart wishes to speak
with painting strokes and
withered graphites.

if days may show the mercy
i bestow
perhaps
perhaps
far seas may capture
sight
of land...

perhaps
perhaps
may i caress the intangible
restoring passion once again
again

In the Midst of Invisible... Spatial Existence

In memory of my beloved
darling
stranger
I loved since my first memory
of hearing about your expected presence...
I love you. I love you.
I love you.
I know not anything about you.
Your ephemeral warmth
you took away
I never experienced.

The slience is...
deafening.
Your
invisible
presence
is blinding.

I miss you tho I can't say I know you.
I will find you.
I love you.
love you.
Will ALWAYS love you.
I will not give up.

I will NOT give YOU up. Ever.

Sixteen, Seventeen years passed
not a day goes by without something that reminds me how much i need you
the dusted dairies doth carries many secrets
i dare not devulge in fear that noone understands

i miss you
i miss you
i miss you
wisht it was different
the years of ur absence proves the unknown surreal

perhaps we'd be best friends yet loving quarrel mates
because thats what sisters are
what i can take to mend my heart are the younger ones
tho never a replacement.
i love you all just the same
i miss you
i miss you
i will find you. i will find you.

did you hear me sing to you, dearest Miss Kimberely Chi?
I wish i knew for a fact... I wish i can confirm... but
Happy birthday!
May you rest in the sweetest and purest blossoms of peace... love you always.
