Selena, The New German Sheppard Mix Pup!

Reppin' her four daddy's Samoan flag!

SHE'S SO ADORABLE AND SHY!

She's not good at fetch but she's playful.

I love her! :D

So yesterday (080212) I went to my friend Joe's apartment because he called me at 930am to say that he forgot to walk Selena. (Joe, Fraiser, Salapu, Charlie's new pup they got from a fellow football player friend) and she's super shy, really playful and sweet but she's also skiddish but she loves me soooooo much and it's not because I spoil her but it's because she listens to me. So I took the bus and walked to their apartment to walk her... When she saw me come into the apartment, she knew who I was and was wagging her cute tail! I took her out and she immediately made a big puddle of pee and she pooped twice. One was in front of the apartment entrance and the second one was during the time when we were going to cross the crosswalk, a car was coming by to stop at the stop line so we can cross, Selena got so scared she pooped in front of the car and we had to cross so I kind of pulled her but she was in a squat position and still pooping so she made a trail of poop across the cross walk. LOL.

But when we were gone, she got bored and dug through the trash can and ate some left over food and tore up a lot of newspaper. Joe got really pissed and started smacking her with rolled paper. It was sad because she got scared and I can imagine how it hurts her but she ended up running to me... And I told her to not to that again but then again, she's a three to four month old pup... She still has her baby teeth so she was trying to find something for her teeth... But, she'll learn eventually.

But yeah, I spent my whole day with Selena, we also took a nap on the little mattress together and played at a little park area near Riverside City/Community College.

Teehee,

One More Reason To Love Elders.

This was taken from an Elder in the New Zealand Mission. An Elder helped a mother duck get her little ducklings out of a storm drain... The most cute thing I've ever seen so far <3

Learn From Animals.

Enough said.

YeRin: Dad, Really, Like.

LOL, I WANT A CHILD LIKE THIS.

Benji Schwimmer. SYTYCD Winner. Mormon.

(061212)

I'm not sure who here watches "So You Think You Can Dance" tv show but there's a dancer named Benji Schwimmer. He's a good dancer, he's also a member of my church and he was my friend Glenn's old companion during their mission... On Tuesday, we all get the news that he announced that he was gay. He finally came out after struggling to come to terms that he was gay and he struggled to accept it because he's been a devoted member to our church but ever since he finally accepted it, he left our church and is now "ex-communicated" (that means that he's no longer affiliated with our church)

The way we found out was when Joe, Glenn and I were at Ontario Mills (a mall) eating Panda Express and then we see Glenn on his iPhone, scrolling around and then his expression changed from content to worried and disappointed (?) and then he told us if we knew Benji and Joe knew of him but knew his sister and I know of him because he was on TV but I knew he's from Redlands. So then Glenn told us about it and how they were companions for about six months during their mission (which is a long time) and then told us that Benji came out and announced that he was gay, leaving the church and is now doing whatever. Joe and I were a little surprised that he decided to leave and we thought it was a little harsh.

Later after we ate, Glenn couldn't call him because Benji lost his phone so he just sent him a private message on Twitter. But to know that he left the church and is now ex-communicated left a saddened feeling... I can't imagine leaving my church, I can't imagine the church ex-communicating with me or anything like that... I don't even want to think of that feeling but for Benji to go through that was really sad.

I don't know why he left the church, I mean, is it just because he's gay? I know some Mormon's are hella sketchy with that issue but there are some that understand (Andi and I). A lot of Mormon's think that Andi and I are not Mormons because we support gay rights, gay marriages and have gay friends and best friends but it doesn't make you any less of a devoted disciple of God if you follow His word but, I don't know. I just heard the news and I just thought of telling you guys... I just wish that the situation was so harsh. :(

DG and Dex.

DG left for Utah without telling me. How did I find out? Via Facebook/Instagram shizz. He did a solo road trip out to Utah. WOW, THANKS FOR NOT TELLING ME YOU JERKFACE. I'm a little upset because we were suppose to have lunch before he left and he was suppose to give me my shoes back. :( but he left suddenly because he got two job interviews at a hotel and Wells Fargo. And since he's going to school there in September in BYU, he might as well leave now? Plus, he said he didn't feel like he "belong" in California but, whatevs. I'm a little upset but I'll see him again eventually.

Yesterday none of my June Bug BMT buddies told me that a Tinychat-ooVoo night was going down and I found out when I got home. And then Rorosa gave me the link to join and I ended up joining and Dex was on it. But I didn't put on my audio or video yet because I was trying to set it up, plus I kind of wanted to be a creeper for a bit. So, I just joined the chat and instead of using my name, I used my username (the one I use for everything) and then I heard Dex freak out. He was like, "Otter's on! Otter's on! Or is it someone just f*cking with me? Otter?! OTTER?!" <33333333333333333333333

TEEHEE Dex,
Otter

Allen Hugs.

I think Allen is getting comfortable with me...

Joe, Glenn and I met up with Allen and our friend Celest at the Riverside Plaza in front of Johnny's Burgers. And then Celest left, then Allen was about to leave. He slapped-bro-handshake with Joe and Glenn and then he hugged me. OMGOMGOMG, HE HUGGED ME AGAIN.

I literally felt like I was going to poop out my heart. <3

TEEHEE,
Otter

OMFG, UPDATES. FINALLY.

So here's some updates that I wasn't able to post up in time because there's just so much going on:

RM / AH

“You know the guy you said you were still love with? Well, it makes me a little jealous. I know I shouldn’t be but I can’t help it because he has you. You’re amazing, you’re smart and you’re everything that any person would want in their lives… You motivate me and I bet you motivate a lot of other people too. My mom loves you, my brother loves you, I love you… Well, I think my mom loves you more than I do but… You’re just so lovable, you know that? I don’t know why he is acting the way he is. You’re very understanding and incredibly patient… And through all of this, you’re still waiting and talking to him little by little. Doesn’t it drive you crazy?! But you’re not freaking out~ He doesn’t realize that he has someone as beautiful inside and out as you, waiting for him and still in love with him…” — Ryan

Albino Turtle! Awwww!

How cute is this?! An albino turtle!!! :D

AWWWW,
Otter

PS: I guess I have to come up with something double time during Turtle's break from the net.

Be Still, My ♥

 I. Just. CAN'T.

  I mean, there is just SOMETHING about Hottie that just makes me want to... HNNNNNGH.

He isn't the most good-looking person I know, but the longer you look at him, there's this charisma that just pulls you right in. He has this certain charm that he's not aware of. Which makes him even more charming.

Seriously. I must hold myself back and stop with all this nonsense of texting him. I started this daily gratitude update with him. At the end of the day, we text each other the 3 things we're grateful for, no matter how big or small. This kind of daily exchange is a great way to pay attention to the little things in life and it's also a good way to get to know him better.

I call him Hottie. He calls me Beautiful. *gushgushgush*

What I've learned so far about him is that he was suppose to enter the seminary (thank GOD that didn't push through), he's a deeply spiritual person, he loves his parents to death, he's applying for a scholarship in school, and he wants to take up film and be a director in the future.

I have no trouble believing him. He's a bad-ass visual artist, he helps out TONS in theater productions in school, he's got stamina I wish I had, and he just loves to help out people to bring their visions to life. Plus, he's a Josh Groban fan. *cartwheels*

And there's this other day that I asked him what he was grateful for and one of them was:
"....I'm grateful for you for making me think about the simple joys in life. :)"


Please be mine,
Awkward Turtle

Otter And Her Random Stomach Aches.

So, I had one of those random stomach aches and I guess it's what I ate that made me feel a little... Air-y. And as lovey-dovey as I am, I told Blue Fox while he was at work that I had a stomach ache. Minutes later, he gets off work and not even a minute later, he calls me while he's in the car with his father and talks to me about how I feel, what I'm feeling and taught me over the phone how to do pressure points on myself if and when I have a stomach ache again... He told me to press on a point on my hand on a spot where it hurts and do that for five seconds, then rotate hands and when I rotate again, I do it counter clockwise. And then he asked me what I ate and I told him in diary mode and he said that it's probably that I ate too little within the day or what I ate wasn't good enough for dinner? Then he told me that he will call me after he arrives home and eats. Thirty minutes later, he calls me again to check up on me. Blue Fox asks, "Are you laying down?" and I told him "no" and he said, "Lay down..." and I did so. Then he gave me a set of instructions like, "Once you lay down on your back, spread out your arms straight, and inhale from your nose and exhale out your mouth. After a few minutes of that, rub your belly up and down."

And then I asked, "(giggles) Are you doing this with me right now?" and he replied, "(laughs) Yes."

Turtle, I think I'm in deeeeeeeeep love trouble. LOL.

Floating Too High,
Otter
