The secret life of fake friends

The wonderful "F" word..

The definition of a friend is: a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection. (via google search)

 I have many bonds with many people, also known as my friends. I do not understand though why people act a certain way. For instance, I have known one of my friends for my entire high school career. After we went separate ways (meaning different colleges), she never replied or got in contact with me. When fall came and school was in session, I never texted her. However, when Thanksgiving break and Christmas break came by, I tried to contact her and wish her a wonderful break. I even texted her and tried to contact her through facebook. The last straw was when I re-checked my facebook (I do not even USE facebook. I only use it sometimes to keep in contact with family), which I never do but this friend was a special one so I re-checked to see if she replied, and the message was shown as "read" but no response from her. I was perpetually shocked. In a million years I would never expect this friend to be so judgmental and rude. So after that, I just stopped contacting her.

 Overall, who can I trust? What if all friends are back stabbers and liars? I do not even know what to think. Sometimes, I feel as if I am just over reacting about certain situations. Maybe I am maybe I am not? Well, I choose not to think bad things. One can not go into the world with negative thoughts. Optimism is the key to life and in this situation, friends. I can not live scared for the rest of my life wondering what my friends are really like. If I do not get hurt along the way, I will not learn the way of the "real world".

The secret life of a nineteen year old twins

Nasty Nineteen 

Well, my twin sister and I turned nineteen yesterday. woohoo! I completely feel old now..psh all my cousins and friends are making fun of me for being too "old". It's funny, I'm pretty short for my age, so by the time I am like "30", I will look at least 20 something.

We played charades and ate food all night! Perfect birthday! And my cousin made shrimp lasagna and we ordered pizza (pan pizza: spinach/sausage and then another with red peppers and spinach from DOMINOES) and lastly, tostitos chips and salsa. And of course, the finale! The cake! We had tirmamisu cake! That is my favorite type. The rich, creamy, sensational coffee-ish scent and flavor is perfection. After that, we (meaning my friends and cousins) went in a circle (from youngest to oldest) and shared the best memory with me and my sister and why they love us. It was the cutest thing ever!

Especially, my little cousin Erwin, he said the most heartfelt thing in the world! A little paraphrase of what he said: Best cousins in the world, always there for him, helped him with his homework, always help him out, care for him, etc. I literally died inside, too adorable!

Anyways, charades was half the night! It was quite hilarious of what people had to act out! One of my good friends, Jasmine, is the funniest girl EVER. She did most of the funniest charade choices. Afterwards, we did karaoke and sang to our hearts content. I honestly loved it. It's funny that my parents did not really join us for the celebrations. Usually, my rents are there to cut the cake with us, however, cause we are "19" or something they let us do it all alone! Don't get me wrong I dislike my parents as much as any other teenager but it was weird. I liked it.

So cheers to a new year, a new age, and to new beginnings!
