November 18, 2008

Dear Friend,
Have you ever experienced a time where you were so happy, that was your high of the day? When I ever get mad, I blow off some steam by taking a nap. It makes me think about what happened, and then when I wake up, I feel refreshed and not as mad as before. Other way to take my anger out is by taking it out on games, exercising, and listening to music. Those all calm me down and sap my energy.
It was the day when our school played in the state football game. It was raining and brisk cold, a lot of people showed up for the great game. It was one long, intense ball game that went into overtime. After our team scored the final touchdown, everyone, including myself, went ballistic. Everyone was hugging and celebrating with everyone else around them. It was just an amazing thing that happened.
When I get down or get bored, I usually turn to food. I’m kind of glad that food was a source of comfort. From it, I developed a passion for food. At home, I watch the food channel and try to imitate the food that the chefs made. When food’s not around, I go for games and music. Games show my competitive side of me, trying to winning at everything. Music is also one of my greatest passions. Any type of music I listen to, it seems to fit my mood and make me feel good about everything.

Sincerely,
Eric

Dear Friend,
Here’s a CD that I made for the times of struggle and hardship. This “chill” CD will help you forget everything and relax.
“Chill Songs”
1. “Gravity” - John Mayer
2. “You Do All Things Well” - Chris Tomlin
3. “Beautiful Worlds” – ATB
4. “Trouble” - Coldplay
5. “Come Close” - Common
6. “I Miss You” - blink-182
7. “ Moonlight Sonata” - Beethoven
8. “No One” - Alicia Keys
9. “Forever” - Chris Brown
10. “I’m Yours” - Jason Mraz
11. “Little Wonders” - Rob Thomas

14. “O Praise Him” - David Crowder Band
15. “I’m Ready” - Jack’s Mannequin

The first and last song is one of the greatest songs ever created. It gives a message that nothing can hold you down and you can come out from any obstacle. I hope these songs would not only soothe your soul, but also inspire you to push your limits and enjoy life.
Over the holidays, my family acts a little strangle.
• My sister thinks she’s a “princess” and deserves all the present she gets.
• My mom goes from regular mom to perfectionist.
• My dad is the only one that seems normal.
• My grandma laughs mostly at everything (and I mean everything!).
• My uncle gets drunk.
• My cousins also get drunk.
I know, they’re weird.
Sincerely,
Eric
