Crystal

*drooooools* mmmmmchocolate fudge

It totally does My summer will be everything I MAKE it to be I think I know what it is that I want to do, and all I have to do is DO IT! ) Hows things over there on the islands? That's on my list of places to go too, and I don't have to learn Spanish to go where you are!

bye bye soangel, I hope you're not gone for too long!

Lemon cake will prepare you for World War 3

Session of what? Please tell me! It sounds like it might be exciting! My life is so enriched. I gave Pastor a card yesterday that I found in the store with such a beautiful passage in it, I will share it here with you now "You are something - and someone - very special. You really are. No one else in this entire world is exactly like you, and there are so many beautiful things about you.... You're a one - of - a - kind treasure, uniquely here in this space and time. You are here to shine in your own wonderful way, sharing your smile in the best way you can, and remembering all the while that a little light somewhere makes a brighter light everywhere. You can - and you do - make a wonderful contribution to this world. You have qualities within you that many people would love to have, and those who really and truly know you.. are so glad that they do. You have a big heart and a good and sensitive soul. You are gifted with thoughts and ways of seeing things that only special people know. You know that life doesn't always play by the rules, but that in the long run, everything will work out. You understand that you and your actions are capable of turning anything around - and that joys once lost can always be found. There is a resolve and an inner reserve of strength in you that few ever get to see. You have so many treasures within - those you're only beginning to discover, and all the ones you're already aware of. Never forget what a treasure you are. That special person in the mirror may not always get to hear all the compliments you so sweetly deserve, but you are so worthy of such an abundance.....of friendship, joy, and love." I thought it was so beautiful and completely said what I wanted to say. I told him that if there are words he doesn't understand to please ask me and I will translate for him. I think that this summer when I am working at the farm that I will also attend to some inner spiritual lessons too. I want to get in better health, both physically and mentally and emotionally. I want to learn better eating habits, I want to exercise every day, I want to do some soul searching. I'm feeling very excited about what is happening in my life right now. If nothing else, meeting these people have been a catalyst in my life to go on and try something amazing. And you are right, knowing another language can do nothing but benefit me in my future life, whether I go to South America or not. Spanish, or forms of it, are spoken all over the world. It feels very daunting too though, my world view has expanded so much, my expectations of myself have grown, I realize I have some bad habits I will drop, and I have some good habits I want to pick up. I feel change in the air. Alot of change. Scary, but exciting too!

LOL cute

They call it a 'movie gallery' here now LOL

yeah ti's great, but I'm so exhausted, and I still have packing to do because I leave the dorms here on Wednesday morning But family is gone now, so I can concentrate on cleaning I guess. Tomorrow my beautiful boys leave, and I'm so sad Trying not to be upset, but I have made such a deep spiritual connection with Pastor, it transcends simple physical attraction. so now I definately have to go visit Latin America. I've been learning alot of spanish in the last week, and the boys all say I am learning so very fast that they can't believe it It's amazing what MOTIVATION does for you!!! Good, but tired! How are you?

Hola Wendi! how are you?

oh, y muy bien, gracias! (i'm still learning how to spell, too)

Hola I did tell him, and he thought I was very smart to find someone to teach me how to tell him what I had to tell him We have become very good friends since, and he is teaching me muchos espanol! Quiero ir a Latino Americana Me gusta los hombres Quiero ir a la playa para une fuego con los amigos, pero...llueve

morning folks! Not here for long, but wanted to pop in with a quick update. Things are getting crazy here at school. Although school is done, it's time to leave dorms for the summer. Much time has been spent sorting through crap,deciding what to take and what to store for summer, throwing stuff out, giving stuff away and general chaos. Amongst the cleaning duties come the 'farewell' parties. Everyone leaves at different times, so there's been nothing but gatherings every day/night. And the weather has been gorgeous, so I've been going out and living it up on the beaches with friends. Tomorrow, my beautiful boys from Chile leave for tree planting jobs for a month, then they go back to Chile, which makes me very sad, so I have been spending as much time with them as I can before they go. I'm about to go out for breakfast with Dad, so I'll talk to you all soon

OOOh i see Still...there are big companies here in Canada he could play for! ;)

Hola yo hablo un poquito espanol (still learning!) I have a question... I see 'jejeje' 'jijiji' and 'jajaja' alot, I suspect it means something similar to laughing, but is there a difference between the E, A, and I? Does it mean something different when you say 'jijijiji' instead of 'jajajaja'?

I wish Mika would play at gigs at warehouses in Canada

well i have to head for school now, i'll chat with all you lovely folk later

not to mention dream

Could you imagine, an MFC members only concert? omg!!

Hiya Wendi!

Hi Abby, I'm Crystal, don't think we've met yet!

I love this idea! Mika Island, MFC Exclusive This is one of the perks of officialdom! LOL You're not here alone, I was in the shower

I grasp every moment I can, and we're definitely not in a relationship, especially not a long distance one. I'm enjoying every second I have with him because I have no idea if I'll ever see him again in my life. Although I wish he had romantic feelings for me, I'm totally happy with a friendship. After all, love is simply a friendship caught aflame, yes? So I am the ever patient one, with no expectations, and am happy with anything I get. I feel privileged just to have gotten to know him, to experience his music, to have him re-awaken my deep soulful passionate love for music, to have him bolster my courage to sing out loud amongst groups of people (his words were "The best woman singer in Chile is ALMOST as good as you are", how can you not blush?), to have been able to attend some of his gigs(and get video and post them on her facebook for him), to feel the pure love that emanates from him. I wonder if he's an angel. I can feel his energy coming before I even see him in a crowd. I feel lucky. I don't know if you can see this or not, but here is a quick vid of him singing and playing guitar around the fire. It's really dark so you can't see much, but you can hear his talent. His real talent though is the flute, of which I have a number of recordings... http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=45739965176 Flute music http://turrelle.r30.net/Muzak/Other/FlutePP.mp3 Totally we ARE friends! If anything more happens, great, but no, really, we totally ARE friends, and I'm happy for that! And when I asked him for his MSN address so we could talk when he gets back to Chile, he says "Of course Crystal! ALL for you!" *sigh* so sweet. Dangerously sweet to ALL the girls! I'm here! Although not for long, I need to go to the school soon and work on some assignments.

i really need to go to bed though, lovely, so you take care and lets chit chat soon, ok? *hugs and smooches*

Very nice pics, thanks for those beauties! I do love to see that boy!

figured out what I'm doing for the summer, going to Rock Creek and staying on the property I will live on one day, and help out around the place for room/board/smokes . It'll be fantastic And my best friend Gavin lives only 2 hours away which is nothing in Kootenay time And the beautiful Chilean boys will be living only 20 mins away from him, so he said he'll pick them up and bring them out to where I am and we'll all go camping and fishing I'm reaaaaaaally looking forward to spending some time with those boys without other girls around to be so distracting!! LOL
