Part 4: A Spanish Summer

First, I decided I would count every hot guy I saw so that I could see by the end of the trip how many hot people there are in Spain.
I gave up count when I reached 30 in the middle of the first day!

I just stare at it for a while... I read it twice.. three times...
How could he say that to me? It's only been two weeks! =S!
He doesn't know me!! .. He's not being honest.. Is he? La.. he doesn't know me....
Then why do I feel like this?..
Whatever... I'm going to SPAIN...
I should be free.. look at the hot boys.. not think about some guy I haven't really met..

But no one ever talked to me this way before...

Part 2: What Better Way To Say Goodbye Than Saying Hello?

I realized that no one could comment on the original post. So I had to re-post it to fix the comment settings. Sorry you guys =)

I don't like him.. I mean.. he's entertaining I guess. It's nice to get that kind of attention, but it's not like he's in love with me or anything. I hope not..
If I don't like him, then why have I spent the last ten days talking to him for hours and hours?
Whatever.. he's just playing around... I'm sure he is.
Anyway.. I should finish my packing 9ij 9ij..

"YALLA WE NEED TO GET ON THE PLANE!! WAINACHH!?" wow my brother can yell.
"INZAIN im coming LA!!!"

I just can't seem to stop staring at the message. It gives me this funny feeling inside. Like a butterfly in my stomach.

Something tells me that this isn't a joke for me anymore...

Part 1: It's Always When You Least Expect It

So. A lot of this is going to be jumbled but I'll try my best to keep everything as organized as I can, but since when is the past organized?

Once upon a time, before Facebook, there was Hi5.
When stalkers were easy to find and all profiles were open to the public, so the stalkers enjoyed their buffet of girls.
So. Basically. It was the year 2006. The summer actually. A couple of weeks before I planned on going to Spain with my family. I loved my family. Loved my friends. Loved my school. Everything was perfect.

Communication was through MSN.

BuBader spent the rest of the night telling me random things and asking me random questions. whats the most embarrassing moment of my life? what do i like to do for fun?
We even played online games for two hours. I beat him at checkers and minesweeper flags. Twice.
Then he started telling me jokes to keep me awake for another hour to talk to him.
I guess he's not so bad..
