I’ve discovered my soul mate.<\/p>\n
Like to know who?<\/p>\n
Sabrina Noelle Kwong.<\/p>\n
I will love her Always and forever.<\/p>\n
WHILE I WAS GONE!<\/p>\n
4 days – I know you noticed.<\/p>\n
I’m making note of these things for my own reasons.<\/p>\n
I woke up at 2:43am on Thursday morning, and got ready to leave.<\/p>\n
4:00 – We went to find a place to eat, no place was open.. but we spotted Jack ina Box, and got some breakfast.<\/p>\n
4:15 – Park the car – get driven to the airport.<\/p>\n
4:30 – Airport arrival – we check in and go to the terminal we were supposed to report to<\/p>\n
5:25 – Board plane<\/p>\n
5:40 – Flight 573 to San Francisco takes off with one stop along the way<\/p>\n
6:45 – Land in Ontario California<\/p>\n
7:20 – Flight 573 resumes its flight to San Francisco<\/p>\n
8:07 – Arrive at Oakland International Airport, after getting off the plane – finding the baggage and leaving to pick up the car<\/p>\n
9:00 – Arrive at the car rental place.. after finding out they dont have our car ready, we find out they are going to downsize us and put us in something smaller, yet charge us the same – IF they can find a car.<\/p>\n
9:30 – Ford Windstar Arrives- we were supposed to have an SUV.<\/p>\n
10:15 – Arrive at the hotel, and check in early<\/p>\n
10:30 – Go to McDonalds to eat – but knowing that we dont want breakfast, we leave to downtown San Francisco<\/p>\n
10:45 – Arrive downtown and pay to park<\/p>\n
11:00 – 12:50 – Walk the downtown streets of San Francisco… like China Town!<\/p>\n
1:00 – Check out from the parking garage and drive around<\/p>\n
1:30 – My parents at this time wanted to drop me off but I did not want to have to wait for an hour to meet up with Sabrina, so we drove in a circle, twice. Two different ways each time.<\/p>\n
2:33 – Arrive at the mall, but I look around and she isn’t anywhere to be seen – so I head off to the bathroom to fix my hair so I can hopefully look good when she shows up.<\/p>\n
2:35 – In the mall I look around Build-a-Bear, feel flush – and know its Sabrina. I walked up to her and her mother. Her mother was standing there, and I was in Awe over how beautiful Sabrina was in person. Her mom said “hello nice to meet you” and I was all… “uhh” My brain had died for that moment.. I was in awe – in shock over Sabrina. I felt like nothing compared to her, with all her beauty and grace, how did I deserve her?<\/p>\n
3:00 – After about 30 minutes of wondering what to do, we start to get comfy with each other. Before we left the mall – I gave her the puppy, and she liked it. Then we went to go to other stores, she took me into an old navy story, and I pulled her aside.<\/p>\n
I had her look at me… and I said “I always wanted to tell you this face to face… I love you” .. to her reply of – “I love you too”<\/p>\n
Woah – Talk about heart melting. Wooooo She is great… N E Ways.. heh.. we were all good and stuff until I kinda took her hand and then we held hands the whole time. I LOVED IT. We held hands everywhere, and I felt like the luckiest guy on earth. I have felt like that EVER SINCE. Sure – some people stared – but I think they were jealous that they didn’t have what I had. I dunno.. kinda like.. how many ugly guys get a babe? Then how many get someone like her? Nobody, cept I can count me…and… thats it. It doesnt happen often – and when it does people stare.<\/p>\n
So we went back to the mall, and after walking around the mall for a while we went to go sit. At that time, I gave her my ring, and took her hairtie. She gave me a necklace and a letter *which had some pictures of her inside*<\/p>\n
So then what? It just can’t get any better … right?<\/p>\n
at like.. I dunno 6? she took me to some gaming place, and we looked around for a while. (holding hands of course)<\/p>\n
*sorry about the lack of times.. – I kept watching the time waiting for my time with her to come up – and when it did, I didn’t want the time to end so I didn’t really look at my watch at all, cept within the first 30 minutes of meeting her*<\/p>\n
We went to go sit down *my feet were killing me* and I sat next to her on the bench. I wanted to be the first person to hold her, but I found out that someone else already has.. so that kinda made me sad. We got to sit and talk and it was great, thats probably the best time of my life (so far).. right there, in those moments… caught in time with her. We cuddled, and it was great.<\/p>\n
We went back to the mall, to get her something to eat. She bought something to eat at Panda Express and we walked around other stores for a while. I WANTED To pay for it all, for EVERYTHING she touched, but I couldn’t. Every place we went to only took cash – you know, the one thing I don’t carry around… \ud83d\ude41 so yeah.<\/p>\n
After a while, we went back to that place that we cuddled at, you see – We had it planned from the start that we would take a picture of us kissing, but I told her that I didn’t want to rush the kiss.. and that I wanted it to mean something. SO if it meant rushing it for the picture – I didn’t want to. She got what I was talking bout.. and agreed. Then I had her lay over next to me… so we could get closer *shes SO beautiful* and I just gazed into her eyes, it was perfect – she is perfect. I feel like a little boy excited over his first girlfriend when I think of her. I’m a dork I know it- but I’m in love.<\/p>\n
So I was really nervous but I finally got up a good way (in my head at least) to kiss her. First few times failed becuase of the phone ringing. I asked her if she knew how many girls I’ve ever kissed? She didn’t so I told her.<\/p>\n
I leaned over and kissed her on the lips, replying “two”.<\/p>\n
I must be living in a dream – but she keeps telling me im not.<\/p>\n
Then her mom came and picked us up.. and brought me back to my hotel.<\/p>\n
10:25 – After watching her mom go a few wrong ways *and me not correcting her becuase I wanted to spend more time with Sabrina – she found the hotel* I was nervous around her mom *wanting her to like me* so on the way home I didn’t hold Sabrina’s hand. Then it struck me – I wont see her for another year, and I grabber her hand and held on the rest of the way.<\/p>\n
10:35 – I was dropped off and I met Sabrina around the car and gave her a great big hug. I asked her “is your mom looking?” she replied.. “no but she knows what were doing” I said.. “Good.” And kissed her one last time on the lips. Oh it was great… and then we waved bye until they couldn’t be seen and I went inside.<\/p>\n
