Haven't updated in a while... Lots has happened, I'll try to summarize it, otherwise I'll be here a while... Lately I've been spending almost all of my time at the AIDS center. I've gotten to know several patients pretty well and I've been going to see them almost every day. Lats week me and Vicky (English/Chinese volunteer, really fun girl) took ( Read more... )

Five of us volunteers took the cutest preschool kids on a field trip to this river. It was so much fun, it was such a nice change for them from their normal dirty school. I can't wait to show you pictures of these kids, they are so so cute! After that I went to see Mustafa again at the Dream Center, and sometime next week I'm gonna take him to get ( Read more... )

I went on a safari! It was so so cool. We rode in the back of an open jeep and saw elephants, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, rhinos and more.

I really wanna go on ( Read more... )

I really ( Read more... )

There's a fucking war going on here! It's pretty scary because it's so close. It started when 2 Israeli soldiers were captured by the Hezbollah in Lebanon, and 3 others were killed. Israel of course retaliated, which was totally expected. Since then Lebanon has been bombing Israel as far as Haifa, which is only like 20 minutes away from here. ( Read more... )

So, this is the first entry of my travels! Here goes: London was... I don't know... It's definitely a city to go to with someone rather than alone. But hell it was free and has the biggest gay bar in Europe (which was awesome - Heaven really was heaven... it has 3 huge dance floors, played really good music and was totally packed on a Wednesday ( Read more... )

So... Me & Jess are making lemon meringue pie for my mom's b-day, and we kinda ruined the meringue... So Jess broke into my house, headed for the fridge and stole eggs. My mom was sleeping and didn't catch her... to bad, that would've been funny, hehe... Oh, and we made pie-crust cookies with lard (Jess is the brilliantest pie crustest maker EVER ( Read more... )

I love Jesara. She is my bestest friend in the whole wide world.
But now I need my mommy to come pick my lazy ass up so I can sleep.
Love,
