wow. this entry seems like it can fit into that American Dragons book we read a while back. good stuff. i like it. i think i'll print this page out and stick it into the American Dragons book so later on when i am flipping through my books wondering what book i can throw away i will be reminded of u and who u are. haha.

oh yeah. umm "who you are" would be an all around good friend and a kind hearted person. that would be the eric chen i will be reminded of down the road. hopefully i wont have to be reminded and that we can keep in touch.

wow. i'm amazed. i don't think i've ever seen this side of you before. and it intrigues me.

"that unrelenting self-lessness that is."
i guess it can be attributed to one of my favorite quotes, "where ever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness."

props to crying! it is always okay for anyone to cry just because they need to. :]

This was a lovely entry.

I hope the our parents' country continues to help you realize how much you did on the first day.

Be safe!
