Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength.
- Henry Ward Beecher

first off..i would like to thank all those who gave me birthday greetings and all those who came out last friday..it means a lot you guys..muchos gracias from the bottom de mi corazon=P..i guess 3 years of espanol in hs doesn't make me totally fluent eh?..oh well..but anyways..yah i had so much fun during my b-day weekend..and even better fun spending my b-day snowboarding!..i can't say thank you enough..but again..thank you!!..and i know i lag on the pictures and stuff..but i promise that this weekend i'll upload all the pics and post them up..(*on a side note: miss aileen..i've got a photo of you front side and your back side...remember, you willingly took these=P..so until i receive consent i will not post those 2 hilarioso pictures)..i also got some..uhhhh unexpected pictures courtesy of gee and his models=P..took me awhile to figure them out..but i know who participated..haha..oh and thanx to johnjohn for the lunch yesterday!..so question: do you consider your co-workers your friends? this has been in my mind for awhile and i just don't know..i mean..i've always thought..keep you work life and your social life separate..it just makes things easier..but i guess yesterday my co-workers wanted to take me out for lunch and i said.."oh can we go on thursday, my friend's taking me out to lunch" and blah blah..they were like..oh so we're not your friends..and blah blah..i dunno..at first i thought i could talk to these people..but after awhile..you start to notice that although you'd like to consider them as friends..in the long run..they are still your "co-workers"..and for some reason..people would do anything to further they're career..i mean work is work..when you go home it's over..time to relax..but lately..it's like work has become some competition or something..instead of helping each other..it's more like..i know more than you, so let's keep it that way..i guess cuz they want to be promoted?...i mean not everyone's like that..but it's just so shady..and it freakin boggles my mind that people can be like that..to each their own i guess...so yah..that's where i'm like..huh?..you want me to call you friend, when you act like that?..maybe i'm being drama..but damn..i never would have thought grown adults would act like this..too much politics in the work place these days..no me gusta. but i will not let that bring me down..i have other things to think about, and other people to be grateful that they're in my life..i know this is a confusing post..but remember..always cherish those you love..and be grateful for the things you have..okay the end..

-aloha and mahalo...belle=)
