mae

i remember listening to the everglow while coming home from ring dance on my birthday.
"mistakes we knew we were making" was playing while you drove down the highway at 11:30 pm.
you said it was nice being with me, just the two of us at the high way at night.
then you recalled the first time you drove on the highway; which was on valentine's day.

valentine's day. i was so excited. i had no idea what was in store. you showed up wearing red with heart shaped box of my absolute favorite chocolates (i still have that box). we sat down and you told me you had plans to bring me to ginza and we would have a candlelit lunch, but ginza closed early that day D:
so instead, we went to the oceanfront.
before leaving, you opened your presents which were: a huge card with a long long note, halo boxers, nerds, and heart boxers!

i didn't know the fastest way to the beach then, so i suggested we take the highway by pembroke. it was funny since it was your first time on the highway but it wasn't bad at all. we were just freaking out because the way we took was hella long.
i wanted to eat at a restaraunt, so you drove slowly, scanning the roads for the perfect place. you ran a red light bcause of that, but that's okay because no one was there and there were no cameras haha.
"stop! stop!"
"what!?"
"STOP"
"oops."
we parked at the 9th street parking garage and we decided to eat at PLANET PIZZA. after we passed by it the first time, we were like, NO WAY! i wore your purple hoodie and you wore your thin hoodie with the sneakers all over it. it was a chilly day of course; it was february!

the waitress who seated us seemed to be the only one working there and you said she looked miserable. that place had such a nice theme and enviornment; there weren't much people but there was a family sitting behind us and they were prety loud.i had chicken parmesan and you had a small pizza which was still pretty big and pretty cheesy! i think it was our first actual date besides the movies. but it was really nice :]

afterwards we walked on the sand but that didn't last very long. you buried your toes in the sand and i did too but we couldn't take it because the sand was so cold. we were by the playground and you told me one of your pictures with your favorite hat was taken there.

we walked down the streets and into some shops. in one of the shops i saw a unicorn backpack! it was expensive though, so you bought me the unicorn fanny pack. while walking back to the parking garage, i couldn't decide a name for it. you told me to pick the first thing i saw and that would be the name. at first i said "light pole" but i thought it wasn't so fitting. then i saw a "kozy korner" sign. so i named it "kozy korner aurora" who sleeps with me every night along with koalica!

we drove back to my house but on the way there we got into a stupid argument, but it went well after that. i think thats when i startedto get emotionally ... idk unstable or something. i knew there was something wrong with me because i started to cry more often and i still have no idea why.

we went to church with my family; after you changed into your sweater. i wore my blue h&m sweater too. every one else was wearing red.

after church my family decided to eat at p.f. changs- without reservations. so it took us THREE HOURS to get seated. you said you had the urge to play rock band. we could have probably done that because during those three hours we watched kim and andrew get seated and leave, and fall asleep. i remember you trying to take apart my heart keychain and you put it back together. the day you came to my house when isiah's car broke down, you told me you lost that heart, but it's okay. metaphorically, my heart is always with you.

anyway, that meal was delicious. the waitress took a picture of all of us together.
that was the best valentine's day ever; regardless of the three hour wait at p.f. chang's.

rememberthe day before that though? mandy's mom's birthday.
we took a nap until it was time to go; it was the first time you took the shortcut to pembroke. we were at a red light and we were kissing. we were still kissing hen we turned green, so after we went the light turned red again and the people behind us couldn't go. we got to pembroke mall thinking jade villa was there, but it wasn't. it was round yonder. when we found it, you took the wrong turn and you were about to do something illegal- go in the lane traveling in the opposite direction. i'm glad you didn't though but i knew you would if i wasn't there. i think you realized your high beams were on after making that u-turn. we got to jade villa for mandy's mom's 40th birthday celerated with her family. the little kids were fond of you- especially steven. remember when the cake came out and mandy's mom was like, "I'm 40 now ! SHIT !!" i remember giving her a rose, and eating lots and lots of food. it was still hard for you to eat because of your braces D: everyone was complimentig you on your hair haha.
before leaving town center, we went to the dicks sporting goods garage and went on that bridge for a few seconds and kissed, just to say we've kissed there before.

after that we went to walmart. i forgot why, but we ran into my family there. what were the chances! i had a bad tummy ache and i thought i had to poop, so we skipped through wal mart all the way to the parking lot. i remember little kids laughing at us. we got to my house but i didn't even have to poop. so we just watched narnia and fell asleep. when my family got home, they told us newlyweds came into walmart all dressed up. we missed it D: but that's okay.

that too was a good day.

oh yeah, i also remember listening to mae when going to the mall to get my new frames. before geting out of the car, i showed you the paper i wrote about you. i wrote about a goal i accomplished and that was helping you become more positive. you told me you loved me even more because of that, and i felt us become so much stronger, so much closer. you said you would try to become more positive after that.
i got my frames and we met up with your friends at nghia's. i watched you guys play halo and rock band, but it was nice. it always was.

so many connections, so many memories but for now i'll stop there.
