Acceptance. At Last.

Dear journal, A few minutes ago I realized something. Something so great I realized I should write. I started to think about the meaning of friendship. Friends. Pals. Homies. I started thinking of the ones I have now... The ones I used to know. The ones I love and loved. The ones I thought were retarded at first, but ended with a wonderful friendship. I started thinking about my high school friends. Thinking about the memories we made, especially in high school... and the pact we made to always be friends no matter what.

Then graduation came. We remained our normal selves; our gang was as great as ever. Years passed. We start drifting. My brother told me this was going to happen. I didn't believe him. I didn't want to. Once you stop hanging out with friends you used to know, used to love, somehow it slowly fades, even though you would've never seen it coming. Then, school comes, work comes, boyriends come... and sometimes too soon. ^^ Then we have cancellations of hang outs, or cutting a day short to study or work. You call your friend, see how they're doing. But they don't answer... voicemails are the future. You hope they call back soon. They don't. Little by little you start losing hope, losing confidence that they'll want to hang out, have fun and make more memories. But alas, nothing.

Then you notice they're hanging out w/o you. It's been days, weeks, even months since you've heard anything from them. Then you think... is this it? Am I not going to be a friend to my friend? You try and give effort, but nothing prevails... and... you realize... You've been replaced. You accept, but not at first. You feel bad, left out. Alone. Then you think... is this real... or is this just a ride?

You think to yourself, come to realize, YES, it is just a ride. There are ups and downs, but you learn to overcome them... Some way, some how, you do just that. So you make new friends. Catch up with friends you haven't spoken to... Your heart is slowly healing. You start making more friends, more memories... More trips to the park, dance clubs. New hangouts. New rituals. New traditions. New you.

So now you finally think to yourself, wow, I'm finally happy again. Things have happend for the better in school, you've been promoted at work... new jobs, new year pass at a theme park. Heart is finally healed. But then again, once and a while, you start to think of the friends you used to hang out with. You start to feel sentimental, start to feel bad that you're no longer with the ones you had such fond memories of... And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because it's just a ride."

So I think my whole point of this is
I'm finally over it all.
over the ignorance.
over the rejections.
over it. I finally realized
It's just a ride.

Lakers... I mean Kobe Parade at Disneyland. ^^

So I read on June 16th that The "Lakers and friends" will be at Disneyland for a fun filled parade... Well... Since I found this out I told myself I'd rather go to Dland for Sedonah's b-day and not go see the BIG Lakers parade... Plus, Dland would've been more intimate & whatnot. ^^ So we got to the park as SOON as it opened and waited till 10 to see the parade. While we were waiting I told myself that even if it WAS just Kobe i'd be satisfied. Once I only saw Kobe I said out loud "THAT'S IT?!?!!??" hahaha I even made a poster that said "Sasha, will you ride the matterhorn with me?" But it was just Kobe & I didnt' bother to take it out. Little did I know that he picked a random family and RODE THE DAMN MATTERHORN. UGH! That was supposed to be MY family. hahaha It was fun tho.

<3

Sedonah's b-day

Soo... The Lakers parade was the exact same day as Sedonah's birthday. This was a problem. I had planned weeks on her Disney birthday and my brother and mother were also going to join us. Once the Lakers won I was happy that they were having it on a Tuesday, but instead they had that damn parade on Weds, causing a miniature disaster.

So first we decided we'd all go to the Lakers parade first & then go to Disneyland... no. I had paid things planned in the morning and i KNOW if we go I wouldn't want to leave the place. :\ So I decided to not go altogether, and once my ma found out Sedonah & I weren't going to the Lakers parade she decided she didn't want to go either. So my brother ended up going by himself, and i felt TERRIBLE. Plus I know Sedonah doesn't like basketball, let alone the Lakers, and it's her birthday & I'd be pissed if I had to go somewhere i didn't want to on my birthday. It wasn't MY day, it was hers.

So we went in the morning to Disneyland while Mark went by himself to the Staples Center. He sent me pics & updates about what was happening, so I felt I wasn't missing much. lol So the first thing I had planned for the day was to have lunch at the Celebration Roundup place, which is next to Thunder Mountain. SOOOO YUMMY. All you can eat ribs, chicken, cornbread, beans, cole slaw, & a bunch of other things. If we didn't have our annual pass it would've been expensive as shit. I'm glad we have it tho. Lifesaver. ^^ There were little shows while we were eating and Jessie & Woody would come out & take pics w/us & interact with us. It was cute. Totally worth it.

I didn't realize we were at that Roundup place for an hr & a half, and we were almost late for her birthday party. lol So we were pretty much running from one land to another, hoping we'd make it in time, and it turns out we weren't the only ones that still had to sign in. I did the birthday celebration on my birthday & loved it. It comes with a sippy cup with birthday things on it and you get to decorate your own cake. I had the Lakers on my mind all day, so of course I had to make a Lakers cake. I ended up talking to some random Photopass lady & she's like "Why aren't you at the parade?" I said "It's not my day, it's HERS." : She laughs. What really pissed me off was when she took a TON of pics with my sister and I at her party, so i didn't really take a lot of pics with my camera... cause i figured I could just make it w/cute designs when I get home & check it. THE BITCH DIDN'T SAVE MY PICS. : I was soo mad. So I never got my pics. then again, i haven't checked it since the 17th, so I dunno if I do have those pics... hmm. We'll see.

Overall Sedonah had a wonderful time. She bought an Alice & Wonderland purse with the Disney fun pass she got for her b-day. I wanted that darn purse. lol Ah well. Can't wait to celebrate my nino's b-day Jul 2nd! :]
