| I don't talk with my hands! |
|  | Luca, Enzo, and part of Nicola These guys were part of the group that I used to hang out with every weekend when I lived in Napoli. I have to say that I never would have survived some of the drama without their comic relief. I can't remember the discussion we were having, but when they started talking with their hands, I had to seize the opportunity for a photo. |
Easter 2004 This is a picture of my "Italian fratello", Luigi. We had gone with a group of friends to eat lunch together in Amalfi on the Monday after Easter. On the way to the restaurant, we stopped to take in the breathtaking scenery. I may never see him again, but I will always remember the last conversation we had about the future. We discussed our plans and both agreed that we were really confused and didn't know what we should do. In the end we agreed that we had to do things "our way" because you only get one chance and so you better at least try to be happy. So wherever you are, Luigi, hope you are happy! | | |
| | My crazy friends These are the girls that kept me sane through all my years at the uni. Without them, I would never be half the person I am today. I'll always remember staying up late watching FRIENDS and Dawson's Creek with them while eating mini pizzas and whatever else we could find in our fridge...barbecues on the roof of our dormitory....driving all the way to Abilene because we couldn't find the bus station....shopping on Friday afternoon....reading Harry Potter...and much much more... No matter how far we go in life, may we always remain close at heart! |
The one good thing in Texas... This girl and I have been friends since about 2000. We both got our bachelor's degrees in English in Texas. Actually, the best thing about Texas would be...the people that are my friends. Other than that, I have low tolerance for Texas... I encountered too much flat landscape, humidity, and millions of insects. Anyway, she and I ended up in a bunch of the same classes, but it wasn't until I was being my normal self and said something sarcastic that made her start laughing in the middle of class... And well, the rest was history... We started hanging out a lot and realized we even had ripped out the same magazine pictures to decorate our dormitory rooms. Great minds think alike, eh? Anyway, we took this picture the last week at the university to remember our friendship forever. We also took a picture with baby lion cubs, but that's another story... | | | One of my best friends, Coral, and me |

| | ~*SEI QUI*~ Sei l'eco del mio amore.
Sei il raggio di sole che illumina gli orizzonti.
Sei il pensiero piu bello che vive nella mente.
Sei l'emozione che scioglie il ghiaccio perenne.
Sei la fantasia che transforma in sogno ogni cosa.
Sei l'istante senza fine che dura per sempre.
Sei sempre nel mio cuore.
Sei qui.

In memory of of my best friend, Max (1980-2001) May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
-Irish blessing
Does anybody have an answer why
It seems the good die young
Can anybody tell me why
Can anybody tell me why
-Tupac Shakur
Wait for me, and I will return.
Only truly wait.
Wait while bringing sorrow
The autumn rains come late.
Wait while snow is blowing,
Wait while heat burns haze,
Wait while others cease to wait,
Forgetting yesterdays.
Wait when letters cease to come
From places far away,
Wait, while others tire of waiting
Together day after day.
Wait for me, and I will return.
Wish no good to those you've met
Who tell you, without thinking,
That it is time to forget.
Let my son and mother believe
That I have met my doom,
Let my friends all quit their hopes,
In the fire-lit gloom
Let them drink their bitter wine,
In memoriam...
Wait. Oh, do not hasten
To sit and drink with them.
Wait for me, and I will return,
Despite all death can do.
Let those who didn't wait for me
Say "Just lucky he came through."
Those who didn't wait can't know
How, while battle blazed,
Just by waiting for your own
Me you truly saved.
We will know how I survived
Only just us two:
Simply, you knew how to wait
As no one else could do.
-Konstantin Simonov
Abandoning an alien country,
You sought your distant native land;
How could I stop the tears at parting
When sorrow was beyond command?
With hands that momentary grew colder
I tried to hold you wordlessly
I begged that our farewells, our anguish,
Might be prolonged eternally.
But from the bitter lips and clinging
You tore away your lips; and from
The lonely land of exile
To a new land bade me come.
You said: when we are united,
Beneath a sky of endless blue
In the soft shadows of the olives,
Then, lip to lip, I’ll solace you.
But yonder, where the blue is radiant,
And where the olives from the shore
Cast tender shadows on the waters,
You fell asleep to wake no more,
The funeral urn, alas, is holding
The beauty and your sorrow now,
But the sweet kiss of our reunion
I wait - - - - I hold you to your vow.
--by Alexander Pushkin
Every day we pray for you
Til the day we meet again
In my heart is where I'll keep you friend
Memories give me the strength I need to proceed
The strength I need to believe
-Puff Daddy | | |
| | How it all started... I first met up with Lovely (in the green shirt) when I started out at the university. Eventually I ended up becoming friends with her brother, Merck, and his girlfriend, Charmaine. My brother ended up becoming friends with Merck when they studied together. I studied nursing with Charmaine... and this next year I will be working on my master's degree with Charmaine's brother, Marvin. I guess it's going to be a family affair... |
Michigan to Italy and back... I met Christine and Angela in May 2007 and spent May and June with them in Michigan and Italy. During those months we went through everything together...from being forcefed pasta to being attacked by mosquitoes. They will always have a special place in my heart. | | |
