over the weekend, kenji had a memorial for his mom who passed away in an accident last fall.  jj came down also to attend it... it was a moving weekend.  it made me realize how short life is, and how you should live it up in this world.  seeing kenji, mari, and jj brought us back in time to the good old hpa days, but shortly faded when we had our hugs and  "see ya later"'s. 

sometimes i think about my life...what i have done, where i have lived, the people i have met...i think i am living an amazing life.  i've experienced so many activies (and still am)..i've grew up in so many places, i don't know where to call home....but the people in my life...the ones that stayed are the ones that matter...i truly believe that if you and another person can survive the roughest of times, then he/she is a true friend.  it takes more than anything to admit you are wrong, but it takes even more out of you to ask for forgiveness.

i don't know where the hell i'm going with this, but i'm just happy i still have the people in my life that shaped me, the ones that i'd risk my life for...as for the others that came and went, good luck to where ever you're going in your life.

on a lighter note...i'm going snowboarding in lake tahoe this thursday!
