hi!! :-) I was reminiscing about my time about 10 years ago...about how i was then...what i was doing. i attended a different school at that time, for one year, and so i looked it up...and then wrote an e-mail to the guy who taught me English for that year....i didn't know much English at all at that time....lol i'd once written to my French teacher at another school (i had the luck/unluck of going thru 3 very different schools in 4 years of high school :confused: ) and she never replied to my e-mail, so i wasn't expecting anything back. but what an amazing surprise...he wrote back...and he was so happy that i wrote him after 10 years 'cuz he says he always wondered whatever happened to me....i was the only non-white guy in the whole school! :stunned: he's like....he got a "bolt from the blue" to be reading my e-mail after coming back from February break (the reason he'd not replied in 10 days...the school was out! lol). ahh this is so wonderful! i feel like going back and visiting that school, i've got really really fond memories of that place :cry: too bad it's like 2000 miles from here! so this really made my day today :-) i needed something to raise my spirits and i got something! how cool is that! thank you!!

noooooo i was just teasing you that first time! :sneaky: it's lunch time here...so it's great to have carla's wonderful, mouth-watering pancakes!! :D **hugs Carla**

actually, there's a Hindu prayer along the same lines too :/ i must not be praying enough lately :(

:/ i agree with that song and wish god Give me strength, reserve control Give me heart and give me soul In confusion, confidence Give me peace of mind and trust :/

hey Richard! actually, i usually do watch Oscars, but this time i missed most of the ceremony. I did catch the fag end of it, specially the best actor, actress, movie, and director, among others. i thot Charlize deserved it. She's awsome :-) and Senn Penn...I liked that someone had the guts to still slip in something about Iraq and WMD even after the mass informal gag order! I've not seen his movie, but he's a good actor...and i also liked that he hadn't made a speech out. for that matter, i really liked the way Charlize talked after her award... :-) I was really dismayed though that Bill Murray didn't win it. and actually, comedic actors are always somehow looked over in these awards. That's the reason Jim Carrie didn't win it for his great performace in Man On The Moon...or else, I thought he did a fantastic job in it, and no less trying compared to any 'serious' performance. alas, all these awards are afterall, quite subjective. some years, i've seen movies that've really touched me and yet they ended up not garnering awards. One recent one that comes to mind is Cyder House Rules. Toby Maguire gives a really good performance in that movie when he wasn't even known by most people. On the other hand, I'm glad this time the awards weren't cornered by Harvey Weinstein and his Miramax! :rolleyes: :D

awwwww i was only joking...anyways jewel wudn't let me close enuf for me to whisper in her ears...! :D :P (((((((Denise)))))))))))

can't i get mad/angry/confused sometimes? :angry: :(

i didn't even know they split up :stunned: are you sure 'bout that?! :rolleyes: :D

hahahah i'm only helping you to lose weight by having all those fattening pancakes for myself! no pancakes for u! ne ne ne neeeeee neeeeeeeeee!
