Here's a little something about me:

When I'm feeling tired and stressed, I tend to reminisce and go through my old pictures of my friends back in Japan.
Except they're not in Japan anymore...
Actually they're all over the world.
Philly.
Maryland.
Boston.
London.
Germany.
And pretty much wherever else you can think of.

This one picture brought a tear to my eye...I miss these girls.

Mei, Christina, Hannah, Namu, Sara, May, Bebz (left to right)

Just a little background of how I know them...

Fuj- Met her in 8th grade. I don't remember exactly how, but we became super tight on the Cheer squad freshman year! She is now a professional cheerleader for The Crystals. She's super good at dancing, and extremely HOT.

Chris- Have known her since 5th grade, but didn't really become friends till about 8th grade. She has always been such a good support, and has a smile that can brighten your day. She is so sweet, and has a 2 year old boy! I can't wait to meet him some day. He has the cutest smile ever--he gets it from his mommy!

Hannah- Oh hannah. I simply love her. She is HILARIOUS, and probably helped me become more outgoing. Once again, met her in 8th grade...The first day she rode Bus 2 I thought she was 17 (and as a little 13 year old, I was intimidated), but I found out soon after that she was my age and AWESOME :) We've been great friends ever since.

Namu- The smart one. She always has great advice, and knows exactly what to say. She also hogged the mic at karaoke--with me. She now goes to UPenn, and will probably become the president of the world someday. I remember the time she had her own place in Roppongi, May and I would frequently go visit her since she was all alone in an amazing apartment (bigger than our little tva apartment...)

Sara-  She's been such a great friend to me since 5th grade! I invited her to my birthday party, and we became friends. forever. She even came the distance to be a bridesmaid at my wedding.
I remember all those times we made those Japanese chocolate chip pancakes the morning after "sleep" overs--who sleeps at those things--I just recently made some, and it reminded me of her. I miss those fun times!

MAY, my best friend in the whole world (hence the post title)--I've known her since 6th grade, when she invited me to her birthday party (I think because she felt obligated to since she and some other girly were talking about it infront of me--somehow I got invited haha). She's always been there for me, and I know will always have my back.
She's been such a huge part of my life. I love her!

I feel like I'm writing for the senior yearbook page again.
I hated that cus we only got like 150 words to write to all of our friends, when really I could have written a book about all of them.
I know it's been a while since we've all been together, but...
I love these girls with all my heart, 
and I'll never forget them.

ps...look how much we've grown since 9th grade!
(I was a little reluctant to post this since I look goofy, but whatev. it's necessary)
notice Mike Chang in the background--don't remember how he got in our pic, but love it nonetheless

pps. sorry I suck at keeping in touch ya'll. I'll do better, I promise!
