2.
Today closed the 2-day viewing.
Yesterday was Father's Day, as well as my father's birthday.
He'll be on a plane tomorrow to Philippines to bid his mother a final farewell with the remaining 12 of his siblings and family over there.
And today is our 2 months.
I want to say that I love you and miss you.
But too bad you're so far, far away.

Up.
"Leo... Do you like it up there?"
"Yes. But there are a lot of vacancies."
I hope she's filled an empty seat. Tell her I miss her and love her so.

Still Full.

The good thing about all these stupid little fights is that she'll always try to buy my love back.

You, you keep me warm.
Yesterday closed the busiest and most eventful 10 days of my life.
In those 10 days, I have managed to split my personal life between family and friends in the most frantic conceivable way. I’ve attended Rachelle’s Welcome Home Party, finally gone to Santa Monica (after several failed attempts to do so), got an Identification Card, went to Disneyland, at ate at BJs, slept over at Crystal’s twice, spent time with Lisa (sushi + World Market + bitter chocolate + Borders + Guitar Center jam session with complete strangers), wrote a new song, and had brunch with Shell, all while visiting my dying grandmother at least once everyday.
Yesterday’s plans didn’t work out as well as we hoped. The plan was to personally wish Rachelle the best of luck before she boarded the plane. But we didn’t catch her. Still, yesterday was really good. Driving around LAX, DJing, eating at Panda Express, going to Pizza Hut, movie-hopping, knocking out, basketball, shit-talking sessions, hiking up hills in Porter Ranch, playing in the playground, engorging in pizza and all-that-jazz couldn’t have been more fun.
A list of chores to be completed and 7 new bug bites later, I’m sick. My throat is sore and my temperature keeps switching from hot to cold. Right now, I’m quite cold.
But it’s okay. You keep me warm.

Wilderness.
I graduated on Saturday. Officially, I am now considered "alumni" of Alemany. I have to say that I've never been more proud of who I am than now. All the tremendous obstacles I have surpassed over these past 4 years were both appealing and intimidating; the painstaking changes I have watched myself become over and over again were absolutely crucial because they have led me here. And the talks I heard given by students and Fr. Paul were truly endearing. And Mr. Crespo gave me a hug and made me cry. And then my embarrassing, picture-taking family. And then my friends. And then seeing my beautiful girlfriend. I was so happy. And I am still so happy to have these moments be etched into my memory forever.
Yesterday, I saw Rachelle for the first time since she left for Boot Camp. Surprises, cookie-cakes, family parties, and we finally got to the beach. I have her so much. She's a Marine!
Today, will be good as well.

And the tears they did roll from the salty sea, the rainy sky and the wide eye, the wide eyes. My heart it did swell, as the grandest of stars burst out names in the skies. I can see but a thousand of families and friends I have thought but long gone. And the thunder claps hands as I embrace them. And we held out to every single last word.

Last Day of Magic.
Today was equivalent to NOT sleeping in from a long night, waking up fucking early, visiting Crystal at 8:30 in the morning, watching Love Actually, "hands off", rain, taco bell, bittersweet conversations, 5 minute-showers, using the blow dryer to iron my graduation gown, shit-talking, standing in lines, Baccalaureate Mass, falling asleep during readings, picture-taking, "I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked", leis, home.
This week was probably more eventful than any single week in my entire life. But the good part of it all was being able to spend a lot of time with a girl that means a whole lot to me; Who I am really going to miss when she is gone for 2 weeks; Who celebrated her 19th birthday this past Wednesday, by the way.
Tomorrow, I finally will graduate. Class of 2009.
Oh, and one last thing to humiliate myself with:
That is probably the only award I could ever be qualified for.
