now here i sit, so far away. / remembering all our memories. / it's times like these that i miss you most, / remembering when we were so close. / i`m jaded, stupid, and wreckless. / not sorry, we`ll never regret. / these years spent, so faded and wreckless. / not sorry, and i`ll never regret these years

Love Is.. [02 Jun 2004|02:27pm]
i`m always hearing how we are all too young to know what love is. when exactly then, do we know about love? sometimes those who are even in their 30`s, still aren`t sure what love really is.

i`m only eighteen. if anyone knows me, they know i haven`t had a steady boyfriend. yet, how does that prevent me from knowing what love is? i have a heart.. i have emotions.. so i am capable of feeling and possibly knowing love.

yet, love has no real definition - as cliche as that sounds - it is all feelings. feelings ranging from pleasure to pain, happiness to sorrow. love is everything you could ever feel - jealousy and obsession. admiration and belief. love is simply.. a profound feeling that you get when you`re around a person (or persons). it is the increased heartrate, yet the calmness you get from just a simple touch or whisper from their lips. love is the acceptance of everything they are - flaws and imperfections - yet seeing them to be so perfect and wonderful in your eyes. love is believing in them, helping them, listening to them, wiping their tears for them, being grateful for them, happy for them, sacrificing time, energy, yourself for them. love is wanting them to be happy, and going through any means possible for them to be happy - even if it means not being able to be with them. love is not selfish, and to love is to put them before you. love is knowing no matter what mistakes or faults they do, you love them no less for it. love is knowing they will hurt you. to be in love - you are setting yourself up for the greatest fall of all time. you are all fools to think that you`ll never get hurt, because love is that.. love WILL hurt you. yet, it will lift you up. love will cure broken hearts, just as well as it`ll cause broken hearts. love is everything you know, and everything you believe in. love conquers all, and is all.

love doesn`t just happen though. you create it. this world of pain, lust, desire, happiness.. is all created by you and by love.

to want to be in love, you`ve got to be sure you are ready for it. love has no age determination, nor maturity. it`s if you`re ready - and even if you aren`t, love will hit you regardless. to crush is to like. to like is to love. to love is to fall.

(no pun intended that crush and fall are correlated by definition.)

and the cycle of love continues..

Let It Burn. [02 Jun 2004|12:11pm]
[ music | Usher "Burn" ]

listening to Usher "Let It Burn" for quite awhile now.

i always thought i had let him go. that i had moved on. i met other guys, talked to other guys and everything. yet, everytime i see him those feelings come back. the mixed feelings of love, happiness, yet pain.

"Real love hurts, real love makes you totally open and vulnerable. Real love will take you far behind yourself and therefore real love will devastate you. If love doesn`t shatter you, you will not know love."

people question if i've ever been in love. others might say i never have.. i mean, i'm amy. i've NEVER had a real relationship and the only boyfriend(s) i had, only lasted 11 days.

yet, i know how i feel is what i felt. i know what i felt was strong. if it wasn't love, then love must be SO much greater. i cared for him. only wanted the best for him. when he hurted, i hurted. i'd sacrifice my sleep for him - waiting for his calls at 3, 4 in the morning. i wanted him to be happy - if not with me, with whomever other girl that could bring him his happiness. it hurt me i couldn't be with him, but as long as he was happy, i was happy. truly.

i don't think i was IN love, but i did love him. i loved him for all that he was.. ALL of his flaws and imperfections - yet saw him as perfect to me.

love is pain, and pain is love. without the feeling of pain from love, you do not realize you are truly in love. you`ve got to experience the cloudiness, in order to embrace the sunshine. you`ve got to learn to let go of what you`re holding onto, when it doesn`t want to be held onto anymore.

it'll always burn. always.

[ mood | sad ]
[ music | mariah carey "hero" - i'm my own super-hero ]

emotionally: i don't feel well.



wow, what a fake smile. and, wow i need a new better webcam.

question: ever wonder what your purpose is? not necessarily in life, but anything. maybe i'm over-analyzing situations.. this year, i've been the most anti-social that i could have been. hung out with the same three girls every weekend ever since the new year started. haven't really hung out with anyone else. think back to 2-3 years ago, when i used to have conversations about life.. parents.. love.. those good heart-to-heart talks. seems now a days, there really are no heart-to-heart talks, but us trying to find out what to do every weekend. want to go out and have fun, have a social life.. it's all fun and everything, i enjoy the many places we've been (ahem, "The Other Place".. lol), but i haven't had much heart-to-heart talks in awhile.. those were what made our friendship strong. the bonding. the understanding. that's what made me feel connected.. what got me through.. what made me alive..

i haven't really cried to anyone. i'm not saying i want someone to cry to, but.. i want someone to hear me out. i want someone to wipe my tears from me, and listen to me.. tell me things will be okay.. i'm tired of doing it all for myself. i don't want to be dependent on anyone, i just want a friend to listen. i know though, that most of my problems i have my friends can't help me.. they know and i know, that they dunno what to do to make things better. they don't even know what to say.. neither do i, to get myself to feel better.

*tells self* STOP IT AMY! STOP IT OR I'LL BURY YOU ALIVE IN A BOX!

The Story Of My Brother. [17 May 2004|03:21pm]
[ mood | grateful ]

tomorrow is my bro's.. uhm.. 23rd birthday - i think. i dunno how old he's turning, lol.. he actually remembered that i made him a promise i'd get him an X-Box. actually, he said i said Playstation 2, but i know i said X-Box. i have no money to get him either though, cause i have no job. blah. it's okay - he's busy with his girlfriend, and work, and hanging with his friends.. when will he actually find time to play PS2? (he has claimed though, when i argued that to him, that he will make time. knowing him, i'm sure he would). he's never even home really! he only comes home to eat, sleep, and change clothes, then ask for money even though he has a damn job. lol. oh well, i still love my bro. he's driven me places, picked my friends up when we didn't have cars/licenses of our own, bought me food, made me food... i guess i'm starting to realize he does care about me.. ie, the times he'll ask where my friends and i are going, which he never did really.

so we've had our moments where we used to fight all the damn time.. like, psycho-fighting, cat-and-dog-type fighting. but hey, what siblings don't? we rarely fight anymore because we've gotten older and matured.. or maybe cause we rarely see each other. i'm out, he's out.. either way - the fighting has diminished. not completely, but rarely do we argue except about who's turn it is to get the fast food or who paid last time.

okay, there was a time he actually made me cry. i've cried before because of his ass, but this time he actually hurt my feelings. he didn't do it intentionally of course, but it did hurt nonetheless.  it was the time his girlfriend asked whom he loved first, second, and third. when she asked him who he loved first, he said his "You" (as in, his girlfriend). when she asked second, he said Lucky - his girlfriend's dog. when she asked whom he loved third, he couldn't think of anybody to say! like, HELLO! haha. it's okay though that he forgot to mention me or my parents. i still love him. okay, and he did forget my birthday one time - or twice, and told me, "Wait - it was your birthday today?!" but i still love him. not cause i have to - well, okay maybe part of me loves him cause i have to, but the other part of me loves him cause he's a good person. minus the stubborness he has, and that bad-ass temper.. he's also a funny, weird - but cool weird, smart guy. kinda like, me. lol.

i could easily blackmail my brother, but of course i don't. i know things about him that my parents don't know, but he also knows things about me that my parents don't know about me. probably more than what i think he knows about me. haha. so obviously if i ever did rat all of his secrets out - he'd do the same shit to me. we don't tell each other secrets, or tell each other about our love life. LOL. oh no! we aren't that close and he definitely isn't the brother that tells guys i talk to, to watch out or he'll break their necks if they hurt me - though his girlfriend reassures me he'd be like that if i asked him to.

my brother and i do have very different lives, i think. yet we're somewhat alike. as we get older, we'll still be weird - possibly weirder - and still have those random, funny convos we have; same sense of humor if you want to call it. we'll still watch 'The Simpsons' together, and we'll both eat up a storm at any family event, or every blue moon when he does eat dinner with us. that's how we stay connected.

he's my brother, and i'm really lucky to have him. i appreciate him for all that he's done for me, and definitely for who he is.

happy (day-before) 23rd (i think) birthday.

Worst Saturday Nite. [16 May 2004|12:27am]
so here it was.. two cars - my bestfriend Sheina and her boyfriend in his car, alongside my other friend Babe and her guy friend (not bf/gf status, but "talking" and showing affection kind of relationship) in that car. while in my car was me, my friend Pony and her guy friend (was bf/gf status.. went on "break".. still showing affection as Babe and her guy friend are).

so here i am, with 1 couple that was official, and two other "couples". making me, not the usual third wheel that i am.. but the seventh wheel. WOW!

we all went to the mall.. hung out there.. Sheina and her boyfriend went their separate ways to shop around. while my other two girl friends went prom dress shopping, and their guys just followed along. hung out, whatever..

then as we left, i drove.. maybe it was the slow drivers and the traffic that we got stuck at for half an hour.. but i started getting pissed off. my friend Pony and her guy friend were in my car, in the back, cuddling - whatever. here i am in the front, like err...

finally when we got out of traffic, i got pissed.. and was doing 105 mph.. the fastest i've ever driven in my hatchback.

got back to Pony's.. we all did. hung out.. and then Pony and her guy friend, and Babe and her guy friend disappeared somewhere upstairs.. and it was just Sheina and her man, and me downstairs. i had a feeling i knew what was going to happen - see, Pony's parents are at Laos for a whole month, yet Pony isn't staying home but at Sheina's.. her house was empty, and we all had planned to have our guys come over and have sex in the different rooms of her house. ha. course me, i didn't have a guy. and i didn't think the girls were serious.. what was i to do? that's just wrong to have me there also.. and i got uncomfortable, so i went outside for a bit.. went back in, and Sheina nad her man had disappeared somewhere also! i'm like, uh oh great.. it got quiet, and i started to hear thumping upstairs. oh no they didn't.. i got upset, so i went back outside.. and realized, wow. just earlier at the mall my friend Babe was telling me, no Amy don't feel like the 7th wheel. you're not. SURE. way to make me feel that way with this. i felt used, as in i drove them to the mall and such - mall being an hour away, and not to mention i had to pick Pony's guy friend up who lives half an hour away also.. ugh.

finally after an hour and so they went to look for me, and i stood outside, as they stood inside and was like, where were you? trying to hold back my tears, i told them i had to go. and they're like, oh okay.. and i just stormed off.. got in my car, bawled.. drove home.. starting hyperventalating which is weird cause i never do.. and almost lost control of my car as i realized i was speeding and crying and hyperventalating all at the same time. stopped my car to calm down, and finally got home..

now here i am.. and, upset as ever.

[ music | nural "live and learn" ]

random plug (thanks to Tom for giving me the 411): this band, Nural, is pretty good. and they're not bad looking either. haha!



"Nural was originally formed by three friends in junior high in May of 2000. They started off as a ska band and then slowly developed a signature sound that is difficult to categorize. They successfully blend melodic hooks with raging riffs and odd time signatures to produce a sound all of their own."

they're not even signed yet! just a local band in Cali that NEEDS to get signed, shoot. i wanna get their CD! haha... listen to the songs though, they're good.

their actual site: http://www.nuralmusic.com/

Razor. [30 Apr 2004|01:04pm]
[ music | something corporate "space" ]

"I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside." -Girl, Interrupted [great book, good movie]

but what if what you are trying to kill inside, is already dead? so when you hurt yourself on the outside.. you are now just hurting yourself on the outside - period. nothing left to kill, except skin? the blood flowing is no longer the release of the pain inside, but the release of just blood. empty blood.

now that hurts.

We Are Accidents. [28 Apr 2004|08:41pm]
[ mood | blank ]
[ music | fall out boy "the pros and cons of breathing" ]

"Just cause you feel it doesnt mean it`s there. We are accidents waiting, waiting to happen.." --Radiohead

emotions are running wild, and so is my mind. everything's spinning so fast around me. take hold of what i need to keep me still. the way i live is catastrophic. i'm bound to crash sooner or later..

but i'll get up. cause i always do.




so i decided i want a tattoo on my lower back, of the chinese letter meaning: Strength. cliche to be on the back, especially lower, but i want it there to signify that i have strength in my backbone to never break and fall.. that i can and will, for i have the STRENGTH to, stand tall through everything i'm ever faced with and will be.

yeah i know, i'm good. ;p

happy laotian (and cambodian) new year. [14 Apr 2004|12:57am]
it`s the start of the Laotian New Year (well, second day that is). a new beginning, a new "slate". time for the sinners to attend the temples and pray, in order to start anew. that means, you`ll find me at the temple, praying and making wishes while asking for forgiveness. i`m not really religious and i still claim my "religion" to be of nothing; atheist i suppose it`s technically called.. but i`ll do whatever it takes to have some of my sins be forgiven.
