You're My...

Serendipity.

Thursday. October. 10th. 2013.

I don't even know where to start.

Where did we start? 

When did we start?

What did we start?

You're crazy, loud, hilarious, sweet, silly, fun, thoughtful, spontaneous & so much more!

& it all started with, "Hi, I'm Joey."

With three simple words I was swooned. 

Have you ever met someone &  everything went 'click', well- here's my 'click' 

            To start things off right, we're working on being friends. Just putting it out there so there won't be any confusion.  But let's answer the three W 's, well in this case the four W 's.

     

Who, When, Where, & What?

1) Who?     

     Well for starters, everyone meet Joseph or as everyone else knows him, Joey. He's 20, from town, & he takes amazing photographs. Oh & did I mention that he's blessed with an amazing voice. You can find him on Instagram: @joeysamante 

2)When?

      We officially met on August 31, 2013. But really we knew each other through mutual friends & Instagram. Slightly sad knowing we met through social media but hey, sometimes things happen that you're not in control of. We've been following each other since I was a sophomore in highschool & im graduating this year so even though we've only met this year- we kind of know each other's lives as of the last two years, haha.

3)Where?

      We met in heaven. Well technically we met in a parking lot next to an apartment building somewhere in town at 2:30 in the morning. But we made our way to heaven, the Haiku stairs in Kaneohe that is. It's this massive, illegal, possibly fatal hike along the mountain ridge neighbored to the Pali Hwy. You climb 3,922 steal plate stairs to the top of summit of a mountain- but long story short, we met adventuring.

4)What?

      That's the golden question, what did we start? To me, we started our journey- an adventure. This chaotic, insane, crazy: adventurous journey. An adventure that will be so worth it in the end. I can't begin to tell our crazy story but to summarize it; you opened my eyes, you guided me, you turned on the light. You make me happy & that's all that matter. I hope I can do the same for you, but let's continue our adventure as friends & we'll wait for our time to start a new one.

To say the least, we've gone on some pretty spontaneous adventures, let's recap:

The first adventure we ever had together, we went to Heaven. 

We were accompanied by mutual company of Rachel, Zech, Malia, Irina & that one guy I can never remember the name of. We didn't make our way to the top but we all watched the sunrise. You say I made you nervous with my lack of fear of heights, but you made me nervous with how content you were with life, with your new perspective- you made me nervous. After we made our way back down & had breakfast at Denny's, we had some really nice forceful bonding time while you drove my car back to that parking lot & everyone else fell asleep in the back seats. This was the way we met & there's nothing I would change about it.

Or that on time you saved me from town. I can't thank you enough for that day, you went out of your way for me & you made my holiday spectacular. It was fun sitting in traffic with you that day- this was the day I met all of your friends, well most of them anyway (you have a bunch of friends haha) I like your car & your little scratched pot leaf that came with it. We swam out to sea & you taught me about having a relationship with God, I saw your passion & it grabbed my soul.

What about the time we met "halfway" for the first time & our journey truly began, it wasn't the end but the beginning. Shortly after we learned that we suck at being apart haha. You sang to me the first time that night & I was awed. Thanks for singing to me even though I have to beg you sometimes heehee. This was actually from the second time we met up but this will have to do.

Then there was this one time where I forced you all the way down to Kahuku to watch my senior cheer fest, I don't have a picture of us from that day but I remember just wanting to see you. It made me happy that you just like cruising & you came to a school function even though you hate school.

This morning was one for the books. 

We adventured up to tantalus & at two in the morning we decided to head back north. We watched the sunrise together for the first time & we were exhausted, but it was okay because we were together. You also "forgot" your ukulele, but eventually sang no songs to me because you're too humble. Thank you for always accepting me as the potato that I am because I always look pretty crappy when I see you, sorry!

Somewhere in between you brought me church for the first time in a long time & I had a blast.

It was so different from my church & I got to see a whole new side of you. This picture is actually from our most recent church trip but I don't have a picture from our first church experience together because it was the first time I saw you since sunrise. Now I look forward to Sunday evenings because I get to learn.

A few adventures later we, one day we decided to ditch all of our responsibilities & play hooky.

I ditched school & you ditched work & we ate food & drove around, found a beach & fell asleep, because we both needed it.

This was the day that you picked me up with Zac & the Beans.

We adventured to the east & took swing pictures & we all learned that I'm a terrible model. We went to McDonalds to steal wifi & I climbed a lot of trees, cause I'm a little bit of a monkey. Then we went back all the way into town because you weren't feeling well & we drove up to your house & then back north to celebrate Pomai's birthday. By the end of the night I just remember not wanting to get out of the car...

Ope, then two days ago we all went bowling & then went to Zippy's, cause that's the only place we ever eat hahaha, just kidding. You lied & were totally awesome at bowling & Ikaia got me two strikes which was pretty rad cause that meant I didn't lose. But we jammed & we sang & we said goodnight 6 times before we were both too tired to hold on. We probably broke about 5 wax cups & recorded Zac & Ikaia cooking spaghetti about 10 times. I think my favorite part was hearing you sing your originals because they're my new favorites. 

& then for all the times I don't have pictures...

     How about that one time we met at mililani again, or the other time when we watched a movie together that was terrible but it was okay because I was with you & you sang me songs after. I feel like there were more times when we were together & there probably are but really, 

This is just the beginning.

Until next time, 

Bye.

By the way, I write so openly on here because no one actually reads my blog, this is just where I go to talk stories with myself. So don't tell anyone.
