Be sure to surround yourself with good and honest people who are supportive of you and your well being.  They will not hold you back unless it is necessary, and they will push you forward when it matters the most.  People who are worthy to keep within your circle do not take advantage of you nor think you are just another expendable person.  If they truly respect you, they will not do anything to dishonor you or your trust..

there's nothing like a true friend.. they are the ones that are there for you in times of need, of joys.. they are the ones that stand up for you.. they tell you when you are doing something wrong.. they would drive 10 hrs, and spend 6 hrs at the border of the u.s. and canada b/c of passport issues, and stay for a day, just for your graduation (though they missed it, they still make the weekend, er, saturday).. they'd drive 12 hrs through the blistering desert heat, with mysterious car leaks, yet they keep going just to drop off a car for you.. they'd pool together whatever $ they have to help you when they have none and you desperately need it.. they'd drive through the long, dark, deserted like road with no hope of a phone signal in case you fell off the cliff that you know is just feet away to your right or got attacked by a psychotic serial killer/rapist, at 3am, just to visit.. even when you haven't spoken to or seen each other in years, when you get the opportunity again, it's as if you just saw each other every day for the past week or so.. etc.. etc..

and no matter what happens, they never judge you, they're never dishonest to you, they always respect your decisions, they never make u choose what's more important to you (when it's over ridiculous choices), and they'll always be your friend.. they're the meanest people next to you cuz you know they'll tell you when you're weave's f*cked up.. and they are the ones that you can talk to about anything, and they would see you as the same..

make me smile, make me feel wanted, acknowledge me, understand me, care for me, support me, don't take advantage of me, come after me when i run away and prove me wrong.. judge me not for what i do, but for who i am... and i guess for now, just someone who can make my heart smile again....

oh yeah.. and fyi - unfortunately my group of friends is lacking in the female department.. :( i was raised by my dad and other guys, so yeah you can say i'm a "guy" (or a "really cool guy with long hair" - euro trip).. so most of my friends are guys.. there's no reading in between the lines, taking hints, thinking too deep about things, drama, hating, etc.. b*tches be crazy, but it's so hard to find the true lady and woman..

not saying i don't have my share of female friends, but i'm very selective, and apparently since they're kool enough folk for me to be well acquainted with them, some other dude has already swooped on them.. cuz what did i say? ".. it's so hard to find a true lady..."

We Tomboys:

tomboy or not... girls still have girly tendancies..

we are still beautiful in our own ways..
we are still suckers for romance..
and we appreciate random acts of caring..

we just act tough cuz we don't always get it and don't want to show our weakness that we don't always get what we desire..

Stuff I do or have done recently:

General Manager / HR Director (day job - online retail/wholesale store) , Voice Over Actress (www.thenutshack.net - Chita), Make Up Artist (Make'd Up - self employed), Polynesian Dancer - Hula/Tahitian (Makalapua / Marama te Mafatu Nui), Videographer / Editor (360 VM / Girls of 360), Air Brush Tattoo Artist (Freckles Airbrush Tattoo), Black Jack Dealer (4s Casino Party Supply - for parties only)

More about me:

I like to keep busy to remind myself that I'm still alive, although I have a tendency to overdo things sometimes, but usually my friends around me help keep me in check. I'll still do what I wanna do though. I'm usually down to try new things, you can never stop learning. Hence I get the saying attached to me: Jack of all trades, master of none. But I don't think you can ever really master any one thing; it's good to know about things though. I'm considered the most responsible and motherly amongst my friends, but I will have the tendency to do stupid things every once in a while. C'mon now! No one's perfect! People tell me I'm goofy and that I have a dry sense of humor, and sound like Daria (from MTV). I'm a lazy intellectual, meaning I know I have the potential to do bigger and greater things but get lazy sometimes and just don't want to think (I know, I just need some better motivation). I am a hopeless romantic and believe the best gifts anyone could give another are the things given and/or made from the heart, cuz money is such a material thing and can disappear anytime. I am creative and love artsy fartsy things, and I like to make a lot of things on my own when possible. You have a better sense of pride over the things you possess then because you know it's your own hard work put into it. I am traditional as much as I can be and a little old fashioned in certain aspects of life (but I totally do not necessarily believe the woman's place is in the kitchen - last person who said that to me got head shotted 3 times in a row with a DE by me in CS). However I do like to cook: my Dijon Salmon won 1st place and my Mango Pudding won 2nd place at a family and friends cookoff before. :)



This "astrology" thing says this about me - hmmm.. go figure! :

You are hard to control and in many ways one of the most independent of people. You must feel free to act on your impulses and intuition. Honor and trust are high on your list of priorities and you believe in fairness for yourself and others. You have a strong nurturing side when it comes to animals and children and the less fortunate. You often act impulsively to protect the defenseless. You try to project an air of self assurance and confidence but underneath you are sensitive and insecure. You have enormous willpower and are immensely loyal. You are often unreasonable but do not balk at an open discussion. You are witty and enjoy debate. You have a great need to give rather then receive. You only open up to a few people and share your innermost thoughts. Strengths: Honorable – Intuitive – Responsible Weaknesses: Over Competitive – Impulsive – Temperamental

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they became actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.



Courage

Courage is the strength to stand up
When it's easier to fall down and lose hold.

It is the conviction to explore new horizons
When it's easier to believe what we've been told.

Courage is the desire to maintain our integrity
When it's easier to look the other way.

It is feeling happy and alive, and moving forward
When it's easier to feel sorry for ourselves and stay.

Courage is the WILLto shape our world
When it's easier to let someone else do it for us.

It is the recognition that none of us are perfect
When it's easier to criticize others and fuss.

Courage is the power to step forward and lead
When it's easier to follow the crowd; their pleas resound.

It is the spirit that places you on top of the mountain
When it's easier to never leave the ground.

The foundation of courage is solid,
The rock that doesn't roll.

Courage is the freedom
Of our mind, body, and soul!
